The Englishwoman for whom the Rose bakery/restaurant is named, is married to a Frenchman, Jean-Charles, and together they have built up quite a reputation for themselves.
Here, at any given lunch hour you might find yourself waxing ecstatic over carrot cake(?) while Rosa Jackson (cookbook author, Edible-Paris blogger) oohs and ahhs over the daily assortment of salads, at a nearby table.
First time there takes a little getting used to. The space itself was once used as a cartil, or storeroom where street market vendors placed their carts overnight. It's about as different as can be, from the century-old bistro you had lunch in yesterday. But don't let that throw you off. If it feels stark and a bit off-putting, get over it, and you will as soon as you set eyes upon the food. Daily vegetable and grain salads, composed of organic, locally produced ingredients, the famous square savory tarts, risotto, heart-warming soups for a chilly autumn day all look tempting. Then there is dessert. For those among us who once believed that carrot cake is more like a semi-edible sponge, than a dessert, taste this!
Now there is a second location in the 3rd Arrondissement.

These Kindergarten children can't wait to get back to the classroom to read their books! They dive right in while their classmates are inside the KinderMobile making their book selections.
Approximately 1790 new library cards were issued this year to Kindergarten students and 23,115 books were checked out. That's nearly 13 books per child! The KinderMobile visited 28 elementary schools during the 2018/2019 school year, and made 224 school visits.
"It was important to do more than just issue library cards," says Eric Howard, Deputy Librarian." "We have to improve access and help build healthy habits at the beginning of each child's academic career. We made it a big goal to reach every kindergarten student every month with books and an enthusiastic librarian. The community is enjoying a big success from this program."
The KinderMobile is just one of many outreach strategies the Salinas Public Library has to improve literacy throughout the community and instill in young children a love of reading.

Presentation attendance is important for keeping sharp and up to date on topics and techniques. With that in mind, I often attend seminars and presentations on a variety of topics, Barco Cs200 in Johannesburg from business development and consultancy to investing and asset management. Most recently, I attended a seminar from David Lerner and Associates on "Building and Protecting your Assets." While this is clearly a sales seminar, looking to create a buying impulse, it also provided great information and food for thought. Mostly, however, I want to discuss the techniques used in the seminar, as I found it to be very well done.
I will begin by saying that David Lerner is a very polished and entertaining speaker. His use of technology was well integrated with his manner of walking the room. Three video screens were used, Barco Csc 1 One large central screen and two smaller screens to allow the viewers at the peripheries to see the information clearly as well. On top of this, a wireless sound system was used to project the speaker's voice effectively. The facility was a moderate sized convention center/ballroom, with a crowd that I would estimate at 600 people.
Utilizing an array of speakers connected to a wireless receiver, and a handheld wireless microphone, every word was able to be heard clearly. Volume and clarity are both key factors for successful speakers. However, it was not so much the technical details which made this a good presentation, it was the presentation style. Mr. Lerner made several overtures to connect with the audience effectively. First, he was adept at using humor, which is often touted as a public speaking tool.
I personally liked his references to Mel Brooks' movies, as I am a huge fan of his work. Bringing the audience back to those references at points throughout the presentation also created memory points for the audience. This is a fantastic technique for getting an audience to remember key points, Clickshare Wireless Presentation without seeming like a pushy teacher. Mr. Lerner also connected with the audience by sharing details and experiences from his personal life. Humanizing yourself as a speaker should not be discounted; an audience is far more likely to "buy in" to a speaker's pitch if they see him as one of their own rather than an outsider. Sharing stories that the audience can relate to is crucial, but a speaker must know the audience well enough to make this work. Both the humor and personal connection set the audience at ease and allow for a greater capacity to listen and accept what is being shared without a highly guarded affect.
Barco Cs200 in Johannesburg ?
Vast changes in Internet accessibility have given birth to wireless connections most anywhere. Wireless Fidelity (Wi-fi) still requires access points to be established and for a hotel to compete, these wi-fi hotspots are a must. Business professionals today are tethered to their offices by handheld devices, laptop computers and computer tablets.
Business people that travel between events, client meetings and branch offices often require overnight accommodations. The hotel that they select must have an easy and reliable access to the internet and if that hotel fails to deliver on this one element, that business person may refuse to stay there again. Therefore, wireless high speed internet in hotels is mandatory for any business event an event coordinator may be planning. Many business presentations today leverage rich media that requires wider bandwidths. Streaming video from the internet and graphic heavy presentations are very common. Hotel owners are always after higher guest satisfaction ratings and must stay on this cutting edge to satisfy the growing demand for more bandwidth.. It is the owner's responsibility to choose the best hotel internet provider for their location. In some cases, the entire network within a hospitality property may need to be upgraded to take advantage of greater connection speeds and wider bandwidth. The fast reliable wireless connections for the hotel business center are just not enough if you plan on accommodating business events at your property.
Sometimes business seminars and educational events may last 2 - 3 days. Some of these participants will choose to stay at your property during this multi day event. For these folks it is imperative that the wireless internet for guest rooms rivals the hsia for hotel meeting rooms. Wi-fi for motels is just as important for that weary traveler who chooses this option. Often a larger host hotel is surrounded by some of these smaller properties. Staying connected to check important emails, complete online reports and interact with the company's Virtual Private Network helps these seminar attendees conduct business before retiring for the evening.
Hotel management should have the network support team provide local wifi installation in their motel. Wi-fi for a business center is also an advantage for the hotel owner. A networked printer can be set up in these secure business centers for guests and visitors but they will still need fast reliable wireless and business center hotspots to connect with these networked printers. Nonetheless, to have the best internet connection either wired or wireless, business owners should consider the speed of the connection and choose the ideal internet service company that compliments your guest's satisfaction for the other areas of your operation.
There should always be wi-fi hotspots for hotel meeting space if you are trying to attract a business clientele. Wi-fi for meeting rooms is measurable and therefore billable to the client if you choose. Most businesses understand that bandwidth has value and most meeting planners expect to see these charges.
By and large, wireless internet connection is a necessity for business, your business and your client's business.
Public Speaking - Room Setup Makes a Big Difference
With the increasing use of cell phones and computer text messaging, an in-house paging system is still proven to be the fastest and most reliable way to alert and notify facility personnel. The main benefits of having on-site wireless paging systems are:
• Reliability - Poor RF signal reception is a common cell phone issue within many facilities, especially in heavy structured buildings and sub-level floors. Cell phone reception is as good as the closest cell tower, meaning dropped calls and poor reception can be a constant problem for any facility not near a cell tower. An onsite paging system uses a local radio transmitter designed to provide full RF coverage to an entire facility, which ensures reliable text messaging at any time.
• Speed -Text message transmission timing (the time it takes a message to reach its destination) is fully dependant on the service provider and the communication load, explaining why text messages can take several minutes to be delivered. With an on-site paging system, a message is delivered within 2-3 seconds at all times, regardless if it was sent to a single pager or a large group of pagers.
• Safety - Cell phones are a great connectivity tool, but they present a few unacceptable safety and privacy issues. All cell phone activities are tracked and documented by their service providers - information that can find its way into the wrong hands. Features such as built-in cameras, GPS and microphones present great risks for private meetings, information-sensitive work, secured areas, etc. Having an in-house paging system ensures that you are in control over all of your private information. Another safety issue is cell phone radiation, especially in indoor locations with poor reception. Low reception causes cell phones to use their maximum power to stay in touch with the local cell tower, creating more radiation and a larger threat to the user. An in-house paging system functions as a one-way communication link. Since the pagers are only receiving data, they produce no radiation.
• Control - Using an in-house paging system also means having complete control over your urgent messaging needs, instead of placing an outside company in charge. Rather than paying monthly cell phone charges or renting pagers from an outside provider, an in-house paging system carries no additional costs after the initial system purchase.
Today's modern paging systems offer much more than just text messaging. These systems can control products such as alphanumeric LED displays for public areas, wireless speakers for PA voice messaging and wireless strobe lights for special visual notifications. When used together, these products can improve safety and communication in any facility.

As a hispanic with roots that lead back Ecuador, and Spain by way of Puerto Rico, I have always felt a yearning for the countries my family members and ancestors called home. I have always been aware and interested in the stories of people who are part of a diaspora, always curious of their inner thoughts and emotions. My own grandmother came to the US from Ecuador over 50 years ago and had to deal with intense struggles even then, but her resolve helped her find a place to call her home. So every time I visit I dig for more stories, more snapshots into the life she has created.
I discovered a new exhibit called Invisible Migrations at The Alice Austen House museum on Staten Island, and I was immediately intrigued. It features the work of 11 photographers who have documented migration and immigration around the world, and Alice's own early 20th century photos of U.S. immigrants. Austen was little-known until the 1950s. At that point she had no money, lost her home, and lived in a poorhouse. Long before the birth of photojournalism she was a daring and incredible woman often carrying 50 pounds of equipment with her to Manhattan to photograph "street types" and everyday people. As someone who loves to challenge the status quo, this woman is my new hero.
Howard Chua-Eoan in his introduction on visitor's guide offers a frankly writes, "The vast movement of peoples around the world in search of security and economic sanctuary are largely detectable. What remains unseen is inner turmoil and personal travail that comes from uprooting and the desperate search for home"
Isn't that all we want? To make a home, to be happy, safe, and content with our life choices? When people of our country are supportive of a fence along our border, and when deportations are higher than ever, an exhibit such as this is highly relevant. We see the feelings people have towards immigration reform, if you don't you can check any media outlet, and search the comments section. We see the laws politicians pass and hear the pundits drone on and on about criminal behavior, jobs, money, but it seems to turn individuals into a mass where we are unable to understand that we are them, and they are us.
The photographs bring attention to the people. There is no rhetoric, no political leanings, just people who are looking to find new homes, who are risking their lives for hope. At the exhibit I learned about the migration of illegal workers out of Libya following the start of the civil war in 2011. They were forced to leave the country with no defined destination. One series shows a group of men traveling by train through Central America, intent on finding work, followed by a shot of overcrowded prisons in El Salvador. I could sense the raw emotions, the weakness, and fight on the face of refugee on their first night in America. The photos leave a visceral response of empathy for the trials we endure.
In our youth we are taught that America is the place to make dreams come true and despite any political leanings you may have, this country still holds that promise. As a generation we can make changes, if not legislatively, then personally. Raise awareness. Share your story. Question peoples' learned beliefs. By challenging our views and thoughts, by acting on the realization that we are all one, we can transform the lives of everyone for the better.
Visit the Alice Austen House to view Invisible Migrations, which is open until August 31st.
Make sure to visit the site to see more work from the artists at http://aliceausten.org/exhibitions/

[Elijah planking on the kitchen table]
i feel like it's been a lot time since i've done a good update on the happenings of the E-man.
and he's at such a fun crazy age that i really want to remember some of his eccentricities.
i have posted before about E's quirks and they definitely have gotten more and more obscure as he's gotten a little older. so here's some of the funny little things he's done recently:
1. we usually close the doors to the back rooms since they aren't baby proof {woes of living in a tiny apartment!} and now Elijah has to close every door before he starts his day. if the door gets stuck he will cry until you come help him.
2. he also has learned how to turn the door knobs too so it kind of negates the door closing…. but he still hardly goes back there unless you are in the room which i'm hoping lasts a little while longer until we move.
3. his new favorite thing is to look out the window, eat goldfish, and yell at people passing by. he's the crazy kid in the window regularly.
[Elijah screaming at the people outside. another reason why children are like puppies!]
4. his favorite book is Green Eggs & Ham and he will respond right on cue to "Would you eat them in a car?" "NO!!!!!" it's really the cutest thing in the world!
5. he says "thank you!" all the time and even reminds you to say thank you after he does something for you. and he's very good about saying "pwease." he's extremely polite, that kid!
[he did this himself. it's his favorite spot in the house]
6. he cries when his hands are dirty. i blame Adam for that one. he has ingrained in him that messes are bad. which i guess is a good thing… but seriously, what kid hates to be dirty?? Elijah that's who!
7. he can say his ABCs but has to be reminded that I, O, and Y aren't the only letters in the alphabet.
8. he can also point out I, O, and Y. they are his favorite letters obviously.
9. he loves Harry Potter! this is probably my crowning glory in parenthood. seriously, that couldn't make me more proud!
[playing Harry Potter Scene It at a friend's house. they babysat him yesterday and he kept trying to turn the game on and "watch" as he says.]
10. he cried when there was trash on the restaurant floor. and i say again, seriously, what kid hates messes?!?
11. his favorite show is Super Why and can name the characters & songs. i used to feel guilty about this that he watches it too much. but then the show really does teach him letters so i can't really be mad anymore.
12. and wherever he is in the house, he has to dance to the Hip Hip Hooray song at the end of the show! it's a requirement. he's basically a dancing fiend still for any songs and we have dance parties daily!
[we had an indoor picnic for lunch and now it's his favorite thing ever. he pulls the blanket out and will go grab some chips]
Elijah can totally drive me nuts sometimes.
and there's days where i really question my ability to be a good & loving mother.
but it's little moments and memories like these that make me really grateful for the happiness Eli brings into my life.
he is by far the cutest kid EVER! just hearing his little voice saw "pwease" will make your heart melt.
he's my favorite little pal!!
i love being his mother and being able to stay home with him each day!
i can't imagine life any differently, honestly.
it's too good!

Swansea City have sacked Michael Laudrup and put Garry Monk in charge of the first team ahead of this weekend's South Wales derby - and now it's your chance to have your say on the issue.
Do you agree with the decision to sack the Dane who won Swansea City's first major trophy, but has since presided over an alarming slump in form and reports of dressing room disharmony?
Do you think Garry Monk, the club stalwart elevated to the role of head coach, is the right man to take the top job on a permanent basis?
If not, who would you prefer to see get the job instead? The bookmakers have Graeme Jones, Marcelo Bielsa and Dennis Bergkamp among the favourites, but is there someone else you would prefer to see get the role?
And as for the Swans' prospects this season, what bearing do you think Laudrup's sacking will have on Saturday's critical South Wales derby? And do you think the Swans will avoid relegation?
Have your say on the all the issues that matter at the Liberty with our special survey:

Posted by Alex Henman on 21st Feb 2017
One of the key skills for the GP practice manager is dealing with difficult people. Most commonly, these will be either practice employees or patients. There are similarities in the best way to deal with both, but there are also some fundamental differences. In this first part of two blog posts about dealing with difficult people in the GP practice, we'll look at what types of difficult employees you may encounter, the problems they could cause your practice, and how to deal with them.
Why are some employees difficult?
For the most part, a difficult employee displays the behaviours which cause so much angst and friction because it is these behaviours that have worked for him or her (or someone else) in the past. It's kind of like a screaming child: the child screams because he or she knows that doing so will produce a positive result: a sweet or an extra half-hour to stay up and watch television.
What are the potential consequences of having difficult employees?
If an employee gets his or her own way by displaying negative behaviours, then not only will that employee continue to use the same tactics, but other employees will also be affected. As a manager, you need to make tough decisions. You also need to be fair. Kowtowing to one employee who stamps their feet and not doing likewise with a second will provoke more unrest among the troops and accusations of favouritism.
If you don't deal with a difficult employee quickly, you could find that staff morale falls, productivity slides, and employee turnover rates rise. These things are bad for patients, remaining staff, and are likely to lead to extra scrutiny and poorer ratings on CQC inspections, especially under the area of practice leadership.
What types of difficult employees will you encounter?
There are several different types of difficult employees, and knowing what these are will help you form the strategies to deal with them. Here are the five most common:
1. Mr (or Mrs) Negative
Negative employees hate change, are unwilling to contribute to practice evolution, and will resist new policies and procedures. Their negativity will quickly spread, and you'll often find a negative employee 'converting' others in hushed conversations at the water cooler.
2. The egotist
Not a team player, and always looking out for number one, the egotist will destroy team spirit from the inside. Often a control freak, he or she will keep important information to himself or herself. When he or she calls for help, it's usually because the proverbial has hit the fan.
3. The victim
This is the employee who is never at fault. There is always a reason for something going wrong, and it is never caused by the victim. He or she shuns accountability, and places blame elsewhere. Eventually, others won't work with him or her and you'll only be able to give him or her menial tasks.
4. Mr (or Mrs) Angry
The angry employee is irritable, and loses his or her temper regularly. He or she could bully others, and unpredictability of temperament leads to difficult working relations.
5. Sicknote
When you have a large project on, or need all hands on deck, sicknote will conveniently go missing. He or she will throw a sickie, or simply be too busy with other tasks to help. They're probably disillusioned with work, will be difficult to motivate, and their poor performance leads to others having to do extra work.
How to tackle a difficult employee
As the practice manager, you'll need to formulate a plan to deal with a difficult employee and then put it into action:
Work out what to do
Evaluate the situation and try to discover if there is an underlying cause for the poor behaviour – especially if it is out of character.
Only act on facts, not hearsay. You'll want to act quickly and decisively, but don't do so on a wing and a prayer. It could be that you are part of the problem, so be aware of your own faults and behaviours, too.
With the facts gathered, plan how to tackle the problematic employee. While verbal and written warnings are tools to be used, you'll gain more respect if these can be avoided.
Discuss poor behaviours with the employee
Talk about the attitude and behaviour issues with the employee, and do so with another person present if possible. Your objective is to tackle the behaviour, and not the person. Ask if the employee has issues at work, with colleagues, or at home. When you discover the root cause of behavioural problems, you'll be able to plan a course of action with the employee to get him or her back on track.
Use positive language and avoid accusation. For example, instead of saying, "I've noticed that when you're sick, it's always on a Friday," try saying something like, "At the end of a hard week, everyone wants to go home as early as possible. We really need everybody to pull together on a Friday."
Ask if there is any training that could help the employee overcome their difficulties. It could be that they need extra help with a new system and have been afraid to ask.
Don't be judgemental, but do be a good listener
Make sure you give the employee plenty of time to respond. You'll learn nothing by lecturing, and everything by listening. Ask open-ended questions that require more than a one-word answer.
Confirm what the employee has said by repeating it back to them.
Be prepared to find a solution without knowing the cause.
Understand that one chat is probably not enough
Having got the ball rolling towards improved behaviour, you'll need to continue the good work. Schedule regular sessions to iterate the required behaviours, and to pat the employee on the back for improvements made. Encouragement rather than castigation is the order of the day.
Sometimes you'll need outside help
The underlying problems that have caused irrational and out-of-character behaviour could be beyond your scope of expertise. This is when the employee needs your support the most. Don't be afraid to admit that any help needed requires a particular capability. You're not a bereavement or relationship councillor, but this may be exactly what an employee needs. No matter how often we repeat the mantra never to mix personal and professional, there are some issues that bear their weight heaviest when we least expect or want.
Be prepared for the extreme
Despite your best intentions and efforts, it may be that the employee is simply a bad fit in the practice. In such cases, it is always best for both parties to part company. Whichever type of difficult employee it is that needs tackling, do so quickly. The longer you leave a bad apple in the basket, the more likely he or she will disaffect your other employees.
Next time, we'll look at how to deal with difficult patients. For now, please feel free to contact us and tell us about how you succeeded in turning around a difficult employee – your experience could prove to be the strategy that another practice manager needs right now.

The Beginner's Guide to the dpkg Command in Debian-Based Linux Distro | Tips & Tricks
Every Linux distribution comes with a specific package manager. For Debian or Debian-based distro, the default package manager is "apt" or "apt-get" or the graphical Software Center/Synaptic. These package managers, in turn, rely on the low-level tool dpkg to manage software packages. In this article we show you the basics of Debian package management and how to manage software packages using dpkg. Understanding Debian Package Management The Debian package management employs a couple of diverse package management tools – such as "apt-get," "aptitude," "dpkg," "apt-file," "dselect," "tasksel," and "gdebi" – to manage software on the system. These tools are known as package managers. Some, if… Read more

At most, the alleged victims of Diesel chambers would have suffocated. Not a nice way to go.
Do you mean from lack of oxygen? Because diesel exhaust would actually pump oxygen into the chamber. There's no spark plugs and it's about compressing a gas and air mixture until it explodes in the cylinder I think. Perhaps you meant via lung irritation from particles though.

Diesel engines are used in places where gasoline engines would be too dangerous even though the places may be ventilated.
But also, in big engines in general, like every semi truck you see on the road. And every tractor etc. Then there was the diesel Rabbit in the early 80's by Volkswagen.
Treblinka made up stories involve a Russian tank engine. I think this would have surely been diesel. Does anyone know? Other stories mention Russian sub engine: surely diesel.

Has the e-book bubble burst? is an article by David L. Ulin, Los Angeles Times Book Critic that offers his take on a Wall Street Journal piece entitled Don't Burn Your Books—Print Is Here to Stay by Nicholas Carr that argues the e-book bubble may have burst. (Carr has raised similar questions about the digital revolution before. He wrote the "2008 Atlantic cover story "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" expanded two years later into "The Shallows," a 2010 Pulitzer finalist"). While expressing minor reservations about some of Carr's assertions, Mr. Ulin agrees with Carr's main contention that ebooks are best suited to "light entertainment" and goes on to observe "that e-books have filled a niche in the publishing landscape, rather than eating it alive." Ulin also points out that while some of the statistics quoted by Carr may reflect generational preferences, he notes that his own teenagers are "platform agnostic, and read on the page as well" as on electronic devices. In short, the future may have room for both print and digital books.

Return back to the main menu: Rideshare Insurance
New York City is one of the largest transportation markets in the world but it's also unique since it's the only UberX market that requires drivers to get TLC licensing and commercial insurance instead of regular rideshare or personal insurance. So if you're driving for Uber, Lyft, Gett, Via or Juno you'll want to look into commercial insurance from a trusted New York commercial insurance broker.
If you're outside of NYC, commercial insurance is not required but you will still want to get rideshare insurance. Currently, there is only one company that provides rideshare insurance in New York State and that is Allstate.

Allstate's new rideshare coverage is unique. While it provides coverage during period 1, Allstate's rideshare coverage also helps fill the gap that arises when a customer's personal auto policy liability coverage limits are greater than what's provided by Uber and Lyft during period 1, 2 and 3. The coverage also protects drivers against high deductibles that ridesharing companies have for their coverage.

Chapter 54
The chapter starts in the Sanctuary, Jabu and the rest of the Bronze Saints alongside Shaina, Georg and Juan can see that the seeds of evil spread has been stopped, still they haven´t relaxed since now a giant star is coming to Earth!
Meanwhile the Gold Saints are talking about such situation, Shaka has calculated that they have 7 hours before the giant meteorite crash with the Earth; still Mu is convinced that if he and the Virgo Gold Saint join their forces they can slow it and then everyone can attack it and destroy it; still around the meteorite 5 evil cosmos can be felt…Could those ominous presences spread the evil seeds or will they deliver that bomb in the form of the meteorite?! Whatever the case, a violent fight is coming for the Gold Saints.
Back in Eden, Harmonia is singing until a manly voice shuts her, it´s a voice she recognizes, it was Deimos, the God of Terror and Harmonia´s brother; Deimos says that such song won´t help their Master Ares; Harmonia says that she was singing since she though that she could help Ares who is resting right now, healing himself while using Athena´s energy.
The God of Terror says that Ares will get healed in due time, with songs or not, she only has to worry about the protection of the Garden; Harmonia then says about her encounter with the Saintias and how her spells didn´t give a thing to them, although that might be because Artemis is protecting them; but still… They keep fighting, Deimos says that the Dryads will get them; but Harmonia is not so sure about that since they already defeated Phonos and Pione, so if they keep advancing is just a matter of time before they crawl out of the underworld and fight the stronger Dryads… and destroying this garden on the meantime.
Harmonia then begs her Brother for his help toa void such fate for the Eden; Deimos then reveals that Harmonia hates to fought and that is Ok, Ares land is for the people with a strong will to fight; the ones who don´t can live in the Eden and never worry about anything. Deimos then leaves and tells her that her anxiety will soon disappear, so she has nothing to worry about.
Meanwhile the Saintias are still climbing up and they can see the light, until Mii stops them and tells them that Saori´s Cosmo has disappeared suddenly a voice talks to them, Mii detects a Marigold flower, which means despair, the voice tells them that Athena has been sacrificed to Ares, so now they don´t have anything to fight for… Still our Heroines don´t believe in that voice and demand the Dryad to show itself!
The voice says that he is not a Dryad, not a brute being like those that compose Eris army; but rather he is something divine.
In front of our Heroines, Phobos, the God of Fear has appeared and it seems he wants something with the Saintias!
End of the Chapter
My Impressions
A very short chapter, it wasn´t truly exciting in the sense that not much happened in both fronts from Earth and with the Saintias, still it is interesting that we got 2 more characters on, which are Phobos and Deimos and it seems that a fight is coming against them! Which is curious since I would have bet that the fights against the Dryads would have continued.
In any case we got to know a little more about the thinking of Ares in the voice of Deimos, who has said that the ones who will fight will be on Earth; while the ones who don´t will be on Eden…And that is something interesting since it doesn´t paint Ares as a personification of evil, just more about the desire of an endless conflict for the ones who wants such a thing. Also in the case of Harmonia I have a feeling that she might have some secret super power or something, although I might be wrong.
All in all it was a very okayish chapter; but waaay to short for it´s own good.
P.S. Please buy the Official Manga release in your region! (Volume 2 comes in late May)
Anyway my two cents. See ya Next time and happy reading!

Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner, who 'slept with over 1,000 women' dies aged 91.
The iconic founder of Playboy magazine, has died aged 91, Playboy Enterprises has said.
Playboy Magazine was founded by Hefner more than 60 years ago as an upscale men's magazine that featured nude images of famous women, as well as emerging models, actresses and singers.
"Hugh M. Hefner, the American icon who in 1953 introduced the world to Playboy magazine and built the company into one of the most recognisable American global brands in history, peacefully passed away today from natural causes at his home, The Playboy Mansion, surrounded by loved ones," Playboy confirmed in a statement. "He was 91 years old." Hefner, often referred to as "Hef," passed away at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.
Born on 9 April to strict Methodist parents in 1926, he served two years in the army during World War II before finding a job at Esquire as a copywriter.
By 1953 he had saved $8,000 with which to put the first issue of Playboy together. Published in December that year, the cover featured Marilyn Monroe, along with a nude picture of her as the centrefold which Hefner had purchased to add some "oomph". The issue sold more than 50,000 copies.
The nude images of women would be placed alongside in-depth interviews with high profile actors, artists and politicians, with literary articles, fiction and non-fiction, sourced by the publication's first literary editor Auguste Comte Spectorsky.
Asked in 2013 how many women he had been with over the years, Hefner told Esquire: "How could I possibly know? Over a thousand, I'm sure. There were chunks of my life when I was married, and when I was married I never cheated. But I made up for it when I wasn't married. You have to keep your hand in."
In 2011 he told The Hollywood Reporter: "Could I be in a better place and happier than I am today? I don't think so. In my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined a sweeter life."
Hefner is survived by his wife Crystal Harris and his four children from previous relationships.

text: I had been so far explaining the techniques of rug cleaning of different places of New York, US, but I apologies, for not clearing the confusion as to, why the word Oriental has been used several times. Oriental means the east, and almost all the rug cleaning houses that we are discussing in this section lies in the east of New York, thus the word "oriental" with every place.The best thing about oriental rugs New Canaan is that, if unfortunately the corners of the rug get damaged by them, and then there are tailors to mend the rug. Tailors are not often found in a rug and carpet cleaning factory. Since, firstly they are in profession less available for the labour of mending a carpet is extraneous and secondly they are very expensive. The cleaners never the less are equipped with almost all tools favoured. In nutshell as always, oriental rugs New Canaan has also made a space in this industry with highly trained dedicated teams. Starting form the inspectors to the cleaners, they are all equally proficient at ensuring a restored and clean rug and upholstery at their best possible level.The focus on removing the hardest stains and at the same time maintaining the softness of the rug is the prime service rendered by Orient rugs Norwalk. They are IIRC certified (International Integrated Reporting Committee) - it is a body that governs the organization strategy and questions upon the quality maintained. The workers and the cleaners of Orient rugs Norwalk always keeps in mind of ensuring that their client's rugs and carpets are resorted to the best of their abilities. When they are in the process of cleaning the rug they focus on removing the hardest stains, and remain on this job until it is prepared completely. The company is of 4 I think the stars talk in themselves.Regarding oriental rugs Westchester, I have already given a bit of its introduction, but further to the discussion of the same, they peculiarly rate their services as bronze, silver and gold. The harder the cleaning, higher the scale of cleaning and accordingly is the service rendered. The service rendered by oriental rugs Westchester, is just not rug cleaning, but also upholstery, and both commercial and residential carpets. Grout cleaning with pet odor removals is the parallel services rendered.The specialized steam cleaners, for they are the antique rugs Greenwich. You know what the saying is right, old is gold, for if you value an antique and someone spoils the same, measure you BP and temperature then. This is that particular thought that the workers and the inspectors of antique rugs Greenwich possess, for their mentality says, it is easy to clean an handle a new rug, but when the same services is asked for an old one, many things are taken into consideration, and the pivot is the condition of the thread or the rope and the binding of the rug, which matters the most, for they should be strong enough to survive the pressure.The antique rugs Westport, too works on the same principle, and are also licensed cleaners and are recognized by IIRC along with BBB (Better Business Bureau).Amongst the antique rug cleaners, they are couple of decades old.

I would love nothing more to do all day long, except write.
Many of my close personal friends that read my writing these days tell me that I have a very twisted mind. I admit that this is an accurate description, since it is my mind, I kind of know it's a bit warped. When I was a huge fan of Stephen King's stories I used to think the same thing about him. Now I know that to be a little creepy on the inside when you're writing, doesn't always mean you're creepy in real life. Those thoughts exist in my mind's eye, but they are not something I would ever perpetuate in my real life. However, I can most definitely write about them.
There are many passages I've written over the past two years that were extremely difficult for me to power through and finish.
For instance, the chapter story I'm currently writing entitled Socially Distorted. Every new chapter is a trial for me to flesh out and complete for publishing. I dislike both of the characters on a primal level. Moving the readership to a space where they feel empathy for either of them is difficult, but I want readers to feel something akin to sympathy because I want to turn the story on it's head towards the end and I won't accomplish that unless you guys like them as much as I hate them.
I started writing Socially Distorted soon after I finished another chapter story entitled Insanity. In the beginning I was writing the chapters with a co-author, Marie Hope, but she dropped out soon after the first few chapters were completed and I left the story to rot in the Draft folder for many months. I am finally motivated to see the saga to the end and I'm actually a little excited about some of the ideas I have for new chapters.
Socially Distorted is a satirical take on Insanity. Insanity was based on real life events. Yes, those things really happened to me! Writing that literally tore me to pieces each day that I worked on getting it out. When I would read through the completed chapters I couldn't believe how much abuse I had allowed to take place. I allowed myself to be abused and I allowed my friends to be abused. None of it was acceptable and none of that should ever have happened, but it did.
After finishing Insanity I wanted to write something funny again. I am usually a funny writer. I like to make people laugh and I like to write funny articles. I didn't think I'd ever get that knack for making people laugh back. It's been another trial for me because I took such a huge mental blow in 2010 that resulted in the writing of Insanity. I'm still working out the kinks.
I am not a disciplined writer.
I don't make outlines or notes.
I don't have a plan.
I don't have a goal, well, not a real goal.
I simply sit down at my keyboard and I write.
Every idea that I have is all in my head, so if I die there will be no undiscovered, dusty manuscripts unearthed in my worldly possessions waiting to be published for millions of dollars. Hahahahaha!
I live on a tiny island in the Atlantic Ocean, which you'd think would be the perfect hideaway for a neophyte Hemingway wannabe, and you'd be right. My professional life loans itself to many of the stories I write because everyday that I work I am studying people and their habits. It all works out in such a convenient way.
Perhaps my entire life has been leading to just one thing…writing. That doesn't mean that I'll ever be any good at it. It just means I'll get to complete my journey here on earth doing something that brings me great joy. Isn't that what life is supposed to be about anyway?
As long as you read it, I will write it. But even if you never read it, I will still write because it is something I am compelled to do and I love it.

President Muhammadu Buhari will not return to Nigeria home from a medical leave in the UK this weekend, according to presidency.
It was earlier touted that Buhari would be returning this weekend.
Sources, according to Reuters, say Buhari's doctors said they will need to carry out testing on him on Monday, and the test results will determine when he returns to Nigeria.
Buhari's undisclosed ailment has left his deputy, Yemi Osinbajo, in charge of the affairs of the country. Although Osinbajo has been praised for his activity in Buhari's absence, pressure has been mounting on the government to sign off on key decisions such as the 2017 budget.
On Friday, the speaker of the lower chamber of parliament said the budget would be signed into law the following week, after months of delays despite promises for it to be passed before May.

One of the things I enjoy most working with a program like Firewise USA™ is the opportunity to visit communities and see firsthand the actions they are taking to prepare and protect their homes from wildfire. In late September, the community of Nassau Oaks near Callahan, FL, kindly welcomed me as I attended their annual Wildfire Community Preparedness Day event.
An active Firewise USA™ participant since 2008, this year has proved challenging for them to meet the annual recognition program requirements. Their Preparedness Day event was delayed once due to spring wildfires and narrowly escaped being cancelled by Hurricane Irma. In spite of all that, residents, volunteer fire fighters, Florida Forest Service staff, and a local tree service gathered on a Saturday morning with positive attitudes to see what they could accomplish. They spent hours cutting up downed trees, feeding the chipper, hacking down vegetation, and removing debris left by the hurricane.
My favorite part of the day was when Scout Troop #364 from nearby Baldwin, FL, arrived to assist one homeowner's property. The resident has been a strong supporter of Firewise in Nassau Oaks but due to recent health concerns was unable to safely take action on his own property. Under his direction, the scouts gathered limbs, raked leaves and relocated debris to the side of the road where it would be picked up later by the county. These young men were polite and hardworking, exemplifying service to others.
I owe a big thank you to the masterminds of the event, Annaleasa Winter with the Florida Forest Service and Craig Herr, the resident leader for Nassau Oaks and volunteer fire chief, for allowing me to be a part of the day. I applaud them, the community, and Florida Forest Service for their commitment to reducing wildfire risks and their dedicated support of Firewise.

Country 36/196: Equatorial Guinea
Destinations: Malabo, Arena Blanca
Equatorial Guinea consists of an island and a mainland region. We've decided to visit the island.
Bioko is a cloudy tropical volcanic island south of the equator and it's the site of the country's capital – Malabo. We loved the island's amazing lush nature, the colonial architecture, the beach parties, and the warm (actually it was hot) weather. 🙂 ♥
What to do and what to see on Bioko Island?
Bioko island offers many beautiful sites, including Pico Basilé, the tallest mountain in the country, its national park, Luba, the Malabo national park, and of course the colonial capital.
Malabo is the oldest city in the country. Colonial architecture coexists with modern buildings built since their independence from Spain in 1968. These few buildings stand out from the rest, therefore are considered the city's top attractions:
- Presidential Palace
- Palace of Justice of Malabo
- Cathedral of Santa Isabel (a church in the neo-Gothic style, built between 1897 and 1916)
- The green house
- La Gaditana
- Casa Teodolita
- The city hall
- Independence Square
Arena Blanca
Arena Blanca is the most popular beach on the island. It's a lovely 'white sand' beach with many bars near the car park. It's located near Luba. We decided to visit the beach on a Sunday, therefore the bars were pretty crowded and there was a big beach party going on.
To visit the beach you can take a bus to Luba and ask the driver to drop you off at the beach. The ticket costs 2000 CFA (3. 5 USD) per person.
Equatorial Guinea, thank you for the many lovely sights! Wishing you LOVE and PEACE! 😉
Environmental issues
One of the biggest environmental issues in Equatorial Guinea is deforestation. The dense tropical forests are threatened by agricultural expansion, fires, grazing, and overlogging. Water pollution is also one of the most pressing concerns, as water is not potable, and so is wildlife preservation. The country's wildlife is mainly threatened by rapid urbanization.
During our stay, we have had the pleasure to visit a kindergarten and to talk to children about the importance of peace and sustainability. It was a very educational and rewarding experience.

Getting game for free
edited February 2012 in iPhone and Android Publishing
Hey guys, this may sound like a silly question but I'm confused. How can I give myself and my friends my own game without having to pay for it?
Alright man, thank you. =D
Also, I had one more question. How many MB is too big for a game?
You can have it as many Mb's as you want. Some games on the app store are in the gigabyte range. For 3G iPhones, the limit without being on a wi-fi is 20mb. If your game is bigger than that, they can't download it until they are connected to a wi-fi signal.
Alright, thanks for responding guys.
Oh and when you're testing on your device, in the real game when you're done, does it always take awhile to load to another scene and does it have that loading circle thing?
Depending on how fast the phone is, and how many things you have going on, yes, it will take a second or 2 to change scenes, and it will display that loading wheel.
You can optimize your project by unchecking "pre load art" on your images. I would uncheck it for all images in the actor bin, except actors that contain animations. If you haven't done so already that is.
Okay man, thank you.

Exeter 2015 - Ken's Diary
Having landed in Exeter on Friday afternoon after a wonderful five-day break at my daughter's in Paris, I found the B&B and, after a lazy nap and refreshing shower, arrived at the Corn Exchange early ready for combat. As the only South Hams player present I felt a little lonely. Phil and Cliff had both cried off (i.e. opted for first-game byes). Perhaps wisely, a guaranteed ½ point is better than none!
As things turned out, come Saturday morning I had some good news for them: both had more points than me! Plumping for the C4 English, I'd actually made a strong start against Alan Fraser (rated 107), a wily old codger who'd come from as far afield as Beckenham, Kent – no, I didn't tell him I'd flown in from Paris that afternoon! Anyway, despite clearly holding the advantage, one inaccurate move (the 27th) derailed all my previous strong play. Such is chess, right? While being a little peeved, I have to say my opponent can hardly be blamed for reeling in the gift presented him. God, how nice it would be to win the 1st match of a tournament. That said, at least I'd made a better fist of it than November's Torbay opener. Being murdered by a kid not even in his teens after a poorly calculated sac was downright embarrassing. So, one match down, and a big, fat zero again. Not to matter, I'd enough joie de vivre still inside me not to beat myself up about it. And, bloated by a Maccie-D and a couple of much needed cigarettes, I returned to my cosy (i.e. small) room at the B&B. Watching Beckham on Graham Norton saying something about his various hairstyles merely produced a mighty yawn from me. A deep sleep followed.
Day Two: It was great to see Phil and Cliff ready for battle. As it turned out, they needed to be; as did I. Indeed, with each of us remaining clamped to our seats with only ten other boards still looking for a result, the duration of our games (for this 2nd round at least) were well longer than the norm. Anyway, Phil ended up winning with Black against Ray Chubb: excellent. Cliff almost got the draw he craved against 144-rated John Morrison (who, incidentally, ended up coming 4th overall). And, wonders never cease, I managed to avenge a defeat I suffered against Marian Cox at Torbay, 2013. The match was a genuine rollercoaster. One moment I'd think I was winning, the next that I was sure to lose. And then, whether through fortune or good play, I somehow managed to squeak a victory.
Alas, the afternoon didn't go so well for us. In fact, it couldn't have gone any worse! Playing White against Mark Cockerton (who, ultimately, finished 2nd=), Phil was first to falter when, by his own confession: "Never recovered from a horribly messed up opening." Cliff was next to drop. Unusually fatigued, he struggled concentrating against Charles Keen, his 141-rated opponent, for anything more than two moves ahead. Put simply, he had one of those matches that the sufferer wants to forget, but can't! Result-wise, I fared no better. However, other than being Black for the second time that day, I've no real complaints with this one. Having drawn against Paul Broderick in Torbay, 2014, confidence wasn't an issue. Frankly, I got tied up in knots and the imminent mate proved a thing of beauty. Funnily enough, I think I actually saw it before my opponent did. Not that I could do anything about it. Other than appreciating it, that is. So, with one point out of three, it was back to Maccie-D's for me. Later, having taken a zigzagging bishop's route through the hordes of clubbers, I was glad to get back to my cosy, little room. The TV had 'The Voice' on. What a load of rubbish! Hadn't I been so tired, I might have thought about doing a 'Rocker Fowler' and trash it out of the window!
Back at the Corn Exchange, Sunday started well via Phil's rendition of his tale about Intruder Cat! Chess clearly has nothing on the complexities of a cat-flap! That said, in trying to squeeze through his opponent's solitary king defence via the means of a king and h-pawn, Phil may have pondered whether the etymology of the word 'pawn' stemmed from paw. Moreover, the ensuing stalemate may have let him come to terms with the pesky cat's predicament. So, a ½ point for Phil. Unfortunately, Cliff messed up a dead cert draw against David Lawrence. As for me, I had what turned out to be my favourite game of the weekend. What's more, it was against an eight-year-old girl! What a little tigress Helen Archer-Lock proved to be. After sacrificing a pawn for position, I felt I was in the driving seat for much of the game. However, this pen-twiddling kid's cunning defence was both bold and inventive. As the wind (or was it the Ghosts of Chess?) howling outside, she was fearless. Even when she went down a piece her simple resolve was to get it back pronto; which, remarkably, she managed. At which point, it had all become very drawish to me. Her undoing, however, proved not to be me, but the clock. Always behind, she found herself in the unenviable position of having to make three moves in less than a minute. Her 38th, a check, proved catastrophic. Not that I immediately saw it as such. Indeed, it was the very move I'd feared. However, with the obvious soon enough dawning on me, I was able to block the check with my rook (the very rook that she could have previously taken). Now, a full rook down, her situation was hopeless and, within a matter of a few moves, she most graciously laid her king down.
So, with round 4 done and dusted, the by now weary trio sat outside Exeter Cathedral and as Cliff sought Divine blessing for the guarantee of a draw, Phil and I prayed for the seagulls above us to find it in themselves not to dive-bomb into our sandwiches, nor crap on us! Thankfully, they did neither and we headed back for our final games.
I didn't get to see much of Phil's game. Indeed, there wasn't much of it! The part I did looked like he had made the better start. With the game's prompt conclusion, I'd presumed Phil had won, but alas, he'd blundered. My game against Kevin Huntley proved more satisfactory. Albeit, not perfect result-wise. Playing Black again, I was initially concerned I may have bungled the opening, but actually it was quite solid; enough anyway for me to gain some momentum. However, this was thwarted by an annoying little check. After a period of exchanging pieces, it became a game of rooks and queens. His doubled-up rooks though put me in immediate peril. I thought for over twenty minutes in deciding to offer my queen up in exchange for his two rooks. Kevin, in turn, agonised over his response. Sitting uneasily in his chair over what to do next, he finally shifted his gaze from the board onto me. His eyes added an extra plea to his offering a draw. Knowing two rooks should be stronger than a single queen, some may say I bottled it in agreeing. The fact is: one minor slip would be all it would take for me to lose. And besides, the journey home would seem far longer had I not got anything out of the final game. Plus, getting 2½ points from 5 higher-rated players than me has to be a good overall result.
As predicted, Cliff faced Norman Tidy. It turned out to be a marathon. Into the endgame, Cliff was up two rooks to a rook and a bishop. However, Norman's pawns were better placed and Cliff's king was stuck. Ultimately, though getting quite scary, with potential zuhgzwangs coming two-a-penny, Cliff just about managed to hold on for the draw. Phew!
As usual, Brendan O'Gorman has posted numbers congress photos on the web, which can be viewed here.
I can't wait for next year. Exeter 2016 has a good ring to it. Hopefully, we'll be able to make up a team for it.

Samsung takes on Huawei with Galaxy Note 10
Samsung takes on Huawei with Galaxy Note 10
Samsung unveils a new version of the Galaxy Note smartphone with fast 5G network connection and improved camera features, hoping the premium model helps it revive slumping profit and widen the gap with struggling rival Huawei.
Eve Johnson reports.
It's a new smartphone tailor-made for the instagram generation.
Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy Note at an event in New York on Wednesday (August 7), banking on its fancy new camera features and massive screen to help boost flagging profit and stay a step ahead of rival Huawei.
The Chinese tech giant has been on the back foot ever since it landed on a U.S. tradeblack list in May.
And that was good news for Samsung which saw global sales jump 7% in the second quarter.
Now, with the Note 10 the world's largest smartphone maker is striving to keep its edge.
The screen is pushed up and sits around a front-facing camera for selfies.
And on the back the larger sized Note 10 Plus has four cameras including a depth camera for 3-D scans.
The Note 10 has also taken a leaf from
Class="kln">Apple's book and ditched the headphone jack And in its quest to appeal to trendsetters one version comes with a feature that Dan Ackerman from tech site CNET says isn't very useful... for now.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) CNET, SENIOR MANAGING EDITOR, DAN ACKERMAN, SAYING: "They're one of the few phone companies that really embrace 5G, because there will be a 5G version of the bigger phone, and in the future will all have that.
Right now we're not there yet, but there's always someone, who wants to be the first person on their block with the 5G phone." Ackerman says Samsung isn't exactly reinventing the wheel with the Note 10.
But the company does have something special on the horizon.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) CNET, SENIOR MANAGING EDITOR, DAN ACKERMAN, SAYING: "Frankly, their newest, most inventive thing, the Galaxy Fold, a phone that has a flexible screen and, literally, folds in half, was supposed to come out by now.
The early, early review units all started breaking.
So, they withdrew it.
They're reworking it.
It's supposed to come out later in the fall.
If that happens, then that will be something that's truly innovative." The Note 10 doesn't come cheap.
If you want the version with the biggest screen and all the bells and whistles it will cost you around $1300.
The phone goes on sale August 23rd.
