Most Annoying Things for People to HateList of things that get old and annoying when too many people hate it.
The Top Ten Most Annoying Things for People to Hate
Come on guys, this joke is old, even Baby is not a bad song, well... is not so bad to be number one in the list "worst songs of all time"
Baby isn't horrible, that's all I can think of right now. But he is extremely overhated for no reason. And the people who hate him barley listen to his music anyway. - EliHbk
It's always really annoying when you go on ANY negative list, and he is number one or two, it gets old, fast - EliHbk
The hate died out YEARS ago, and he's not that bad of a singer now.
A lot of rap is pretty good, but this is still one of my least favorite genres because the majority of what I heard is mainstream junk, and I don't care enough to look for decent rap. - EliHbk
People who hate rap are too lazy to find good rap. - LemonComputer
Rap can be great but it can also be terrible - EliHbk
The amount of people hating something related to metal is the same as the number of people who are metalheads on this site - christangrant
It's not metal that lots of people hate, it's the annoying fanbase. - LemonComputer
I hate it when people do this, it's always annoying and pointless. It's a great genre and deserves a good rep. - EliHbk
This is my favorite kind of music, it has great instuments and lyrics etc. - EliHbk
Okay I get it that not everyone likes him. But holy crap! Give the guy some respect! Jeez! Almost Nobody in my state liked Obama but we didn't protest and complain! - Randomator
He isn't doing great but it takes a while - EliHbk
There have been worse Presidents - christangrant
Hitler, Emperor Hirohito, Mussolini are way more terrible than this guy.
P.S. Hats off to the person who uploaded this image of Trump referencing Attack on Titan - styLIShT
At least Hitler cared about the people in his country, even if he was trying to take over the world. - LemonComputer
I personally don't think that she's that bad of a character but the amount of hate for her is beyond ridicules, though she starts off weak she actually gets better as the series goes on though almost everyone would strongly disagree. - egnomac
I can realise that no one commented here so far as they hate Serena. - styLIShT
She looks cringy - EliHbk
REALLY overhated to death! - EliHbk
Too many people hate it, has good songs - EliHbk
No, muslims aren't all in isis and this is stupid media blasphemy - EliHbk
It annoys me how so many people hate Muslims in general. It's not like they're all Jihadis.
BLM doesn't help but I know a few nice black people, but they aren't my style in humor and stuff usually, we just don't have much in common - EliHbk
Nobody hates black people. People just either hate BLM or hate comments and other riots that the minority of them do.. - LemonComputer
I love all people :) But the YouTube comment sections on sooo many videos about any other race mostly black people is annoying. It's okay though because I don't reply to them or let it get to me. Minority matters too. -From a Latin American. - TheLoudHouseSucks
Yes, it's mediocre, but doesn't deserve to be flooded with lots of haters.
The movie itself isn't the problem, it was okay. The fanbase though... that fanbase - Yatagarasu
I personally Loathe this movie for many reasons but I can name many movies that are worse - christangrant
I personally hate Frozen but I wouldn't ever say it's fans are psychopaths, never - Neonco31
Only like 5 people hate this movie on this website compared to around 100 active users - christangrant
Besides VGf5 and a few others who hates its? - christangrant
Looks cringy - EliHbk
The Contenders
A lot of black people say to me "you enslaved me, jerk". No I didn't! what? - EliHbk
True, but white people have greatly contributed to society - EliHbk
R I o t s
(Everyone gonna riot against my comment now -.-) - LemonComputer
Me: hi! Other person: you're so racist you skinny white girl me: how am I racist? Other person: your white and skinny me: are you stereotyping me? Other person: no I'm serving justice me: by being racist and rude plus stereotyping me? ,walks away, please like this 😊😀😃 posted by anyahbear
America haters just assume that Americans are fat drunk couch potatoes from Texas. News flash: Most Americans are not a fat drunk couch potato from Texas! So Shocking! - Randomator
A lot of people hate its citizens and crappy democracy, including me. But it's not that big of a deal as people make it! - EliHbk
Way too many people hate it but it is pretty bad - EliHbk
People always say to me that it sucks, not really though. - EliHbk
Mustangs, raptors, etc Are decent - EliHbk
Ford is terrible - GuitarMann
Maybe it was disappointing! But there are plenty of redeeming factors! I'll admit the Message was preachy, the acting is solid, the cgi is alright (some of the effects hold up very well.), and the characters are stupid (excluding Tembo, the best character in the movie.) But overall, I think it's at least decent, but this movie could need some editing! Like cut out some of the lines that don't work, make it less predictable, cut out the raptor gymnastics and change the message.
Still better than the surprisingly dull Jurassic Park 3.
Never watched - EliHbk
If you want a disappointing JP movie look a JP3 - Zombieguy745
People don't hate the people. They either hate the idea or the 64 gender thing. - LemonComputer
There are actually some a-holes out there unconditionally hate ALL trans people. But yeah, most hate the concept rather than the people themselves.
Don't understand, but god made you the way you were... but he still loves you no matter what you do. - EliHbk
I hate this anime but I love the games - EliHbk
I hate the show, its anime for 6 year olds. But it's ok if u liked it as a kid. but whatever. - EliHbk
I love gay people, they're so adorable! I met a new friend this past week and he's awesome. We're friends already and I'm Christian. Being gay or supporting gay is frowned upon in the community. - TheLoudHouseSucks
Sadly, Republicans exist and they hate 'em GUTS. - LemonComputer
It is ok to be gay, but the people who are like "gays are better than straight" what? - EliHbk
It's ok to be gay - Picklesthekitten45
Nickelback has to be the most overhated music artist of all time it all started from a stupid bandwagon that apperntly people still join in even though it should have been dead by now but anyway most of the haters are people who can't respect opinions say things like "They suck and anyone who likes them should drink Bleach" or something like that but anyway they put more effort into the music than most modern pop artists yet they get more of the hate which ia totally unfair - christangrant
I don't get why people hate this, I listened to 3 or 4 of their songs, and it was good - EliHbk
I bet most of their haters have only heard Rockstar.
Honestly they ain't that bad I don't get why they're so hated
I have seen some of her better performances! And from what I've seen, she's Actually kind of good! I mean she is pretty talented. And for someone with a lot of talent! I honestly think she deserves better! And what kind of guy can't turn on to Scarlett!
The hate is getting on my nerves! We get it, She's beautiful and your not!
Cock eyed? - EliHbk
Seriously, a lot of people hate this because it's popular. - EliHbk
"Oh it's overrated henhdhd" says dumb people - EliHbk
It wasn't that bad, although not as great as an original - EliHbk
It was decent - EliHbk
Xbox is really good, but not as much as ps - EliHbk
Xbox and PS are pretty equal. PS is kinda better though. PS has more exclusives and stuff like that. - EliHbk
Nazis are dumb - EliHbk
I honestly never understood the source for antisemitism.
She's not lame either! Captain America: The Winter soldier gave me respect for Natasha.
BLACK Widow equals RED head - EliHbk
Not every Metalhead is a bad person like some people claim its just they want people to blame for their problems and most of the time they are people who beileve what the news says so they think that all are devil worshippers which is obviously false - christangrant
I agree with Christan, outsiders think we worship Satan and are all emos n stuff like that - EliHbk
I thought the special effects, musical score, villain and set pieces were great. And it is fairly enjoyable! Like Jurassic World (which I thought was Disappointing), This movie isn't supposed be taken too seriously! This movie for me, is somewhat good! But I wouldn't say Great! At least, It was way better than it's Cringe-worthy sequels!
The movie looked stupid - EliHbk
I don't want to seemit - EliHbk
I'm gonna watch it, so I don't know if it's overrated or not - EliHbk
You don't want to! - EliHbk
Scars u 4 life - EliHbk
Some pop is good, but this is very overhated - EliHbk
A-Pop is pretty bad now days. - EliHbk
RIP Dave - EliHbk
Not into them but they are pretty good - EliHbk
Pretty good! - EliHbk
Yuck - EliHbk
Reminds me of John Snow and Matt Heafy! - EliHbk
He's literally a Darth Vader ripoff. - Randomator
He has a cool light saber - EliHbk
This girl is not that popular now, why the hell so much hate?
Stupid singer with no skill to me - EliHbk
Seriously, 'Friday' was over 6 years ago. Move on, like she has.
Besides, she seems like such a nice person. - SuperSonic17
He's honestly not that Lame.
I didn't like it - EliHbk
Indiana jones is great, doesn't deserve hate - EliHbk
Was pretty good in a lot of movies - EliHbk
He's good. - EliHbk
Stat padding - EliHbk
Huh? - EliHbk
I love guns! But people are always saying "guns are killers... without them our crime rates would be lower", that's great! I don't care. You know the argument already... - EliHbk
People say that guns are important. But if that's the case, how comes so many countries don't have them?
People say that guns don't kill people. But if that's the case, how comes America has the most gun, or ANY type of death in the world?
I am a Brit and I don't see the point of Americans having guns. Only people who do school shootings and stuff would defend these shameful weapons. - LemonComputer
Sure, it gets worse. And it was unnecessary! But the hate for this movie gets annoying once and a while.
This was unnecessary and disappointing. The first spinoff like this? They had no reason to do this, but not that big off a deal. And doesn't deserve all the hate. - EliHbk
This song deserves its hate because its has no redeeming factors to it whatsoever yes it's a one hit wonder but people still hate Crank That and nobody complains plus its more annoying when people hate Rockstar by Nickelback or Baby by Justin Bieber - christangrant
People STILL hate on this! The trend died out 2 years ago, nobody sings this anymore, Silento is a one-hit wonder, now just STOP talking about it! - BlueTopazIceVanilla
This song sucks, it in all of christangrants list about bad songs, this is number one! - EliHbk
Horrible - EliHbk
I'm just stat padding at this point - EliHbk
No please - EliHbk
Ghosts is my favorite Call of Duty - EliHbk
Anime is hated for stupid reasons - EliHbk
Really funny and good - EliHbk
Like it actually

Doctor of Philosophy
We develop equations describing the capability of arbitrary three-dimensional arrays to resolve and detect two narrowband sources using conventional (CONV) beamforming, minimum energy (ME) adaptive beamforming, and linear predictive (LP) processing. In addition to allowing one to evaluate the performance of each algorithm with arbitrary array geometries, these equations contain geometry-dependent terms that allow us to isolate analytically the effect of array geometry on the ideal resolution and detection capabilities of each algorithm. We show that the sensitivity of each processing algorithm to finite amounts of data depends on the number of sensors in an array but is independent of array geometry: consequently this sensitivity should not influence choice of array geometry. Based on the resolution and detection equations, we develop analytically a class of linear arrays which, for a fixed number of sensors, offer simultaneously optimum resolution capability and sidelobe suppression when either CONV or ME beamforming is employed. Signal processing considerations indicate that optimum CONV and ME performance is obtained when an array samples the spatial correlation function at as many consecutive multiples of a half-wavelength as possible. Minimum redundancy and minimum hole arrays represent two means of achieving such spatial sampling. CONV, ME, and LP yield asymptotically biased estimates of source bearing when multiple sources are present. Through Taylor series analysis of the array factors of arbitrary linear arrays, we develop approximations for the asymptotic bias inherent in the estimates of source bearing produced by each algorithm. It is possible to extend the array optimization problem to the design of two-dimensional arrays; unfortunately, the 2-D problem is intractable, and remains unsolved theoretically. However, we do establish the importance of the 2-D coarray in determining 2-D array performance. Consideration of the coarray leads to the conclusion that arrays with three-fold rotational symmetry and elements lying on an isometric grid having a half-wavelength cell size are probably nearly optimum. Further, equilateral Y configurations of linear arrays exhibit coarrays with six-fold rotational symmetry, thus providing good omni-directional capability. Use of linear minimum hole arrays along each leg of the Y results in extremely good resolution capability and sidelobe suppression in conjunction with ME beamforming.

Leading discount carrier EasyJet recently unveiled its new carry-on baggage policy. EasyJet, which is known to provide cheap tickets to its customers, is bracing to implement its 'guaranteed' cabin baggage allowance from July this year.
The new 'guaranteed' cabin baggage allowance is 37 percent below the maximum size permitted. Currently, the airline allows its customers to carry a baggage along with them on board their flights in the maximum size of 56cm by 45cm by 25cm – a total of 63 liters per bag.
EasyJet has, however, changed the policy now and would allow the passengers to carry a baggage along with them on board their flights in the maximum size of 50cm by 40cm by 20cm – including handles, pockets and wheels – to a total of just 40 liters.
The airline will be implementing the 'guaranteed' cabin baggage allowance from July 2, 2013. EasyJet is implementing the new policy so that the passengers' baggage fits in the cabin. Previously, the airline wasn't able to fit the passengers' luggage in the cabin as it came into various sizes.

JEFFERSON CITY - The Jefferson City animal shelter invited Missouri Director of Agriculture Jon Hagler for a guided tour of the facility Tuesday. Shelter Manager Karen Jennings led Hagler through the facility, which opened just seven months ago. The new center is nearly twice as big and has more cages, as well as a secure outdoor area for the animals to play. According to Jennings, one of the most prevalent changes is the on-site veterinary clinic which allows for animals to be cared for immediately and efficiently.
Hagler also took time to speak about the "I'm Pet Friendly" program which helps provide grants for for spay and neuter services. The program raises money by selling "I'm Pet Friendly" specialty license plates. Twenty dollars from each plate goes to the program. Last year, the program raised $20,000 which will give ten $2000 grants to animal shelters, humane societies, and non-profit organizations in need. The deadline for these groups to apply is February 15.
Anyone interested in applying to the program or purchasing the specialty license plate can go to the Department of Agriculture's website for more information.

Engineering Procurement and Construction:
India's Engineering & Power sector is growing firmly as the energy consumption has been increasing at one of the fastest rates in the world due to economic development & population growth. Though India is ranked fifth in terms of primary energy consumption but per capita energy consumption is still on the lower side as compared to other developing countries. The demand for power is growing exponentially & the scope of growth in this sector is enormous and the team of skilled professional of Signature Staff is well versed to meet all the requirements of the client on time. Our Expertise in Power & Energy Sector comprises of Engineering Oil & Gas Engineering Pipelines Engineering Mechanical Process Engineering Engineering Heating & Thermal Equipment Engineering Instrument Project Engineering Engineering Rotating Equipment Safety Engineering.
India's EPC market has come under the global scanner. The sector has witnessed consistent changes over the past few years, with increasing project sizes, scale and market maturity. Riding on India's infrastructure requirements over the next five years, the EPC sector is likely to make major advances. The sector is also attracting an increased interest from global majors, Indian conglomerates, as well as infrastructure developers.
The key highlights of the Indian EPC sector are:
> There is an increasing reliance on the private sector for the growth of the EPC sector.
> Indian players have taken the inorganic route to venture into international markets, global construction giants are also increasingly attracted to India's growth story.
> Many EPC contractors are diversifying into the asset development business, while others are forging technical partnerships, especially with foreign players.
> Power sector grabs the major share of the proposed infrastructure investments in Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-17).
> The urban infrastructure and telecommunications sectors are also expected to witness enhanced investment.
> Reforms are awaited for the unbundling of the railways sector.
Key challenges faced by the Indian EPC sector:
Alleviating time and cost overruns pose a major challenge for majority of infrastructure projects:
> As on February 2011, out of a total of 559 ongoing infrastructure projects in India, 293 were delayed.
The EPC sector is also faced with shortage of manpower, machinery and material.
> Construction reports detail 40% shortage of skilled construction workers. Fluctuating steel and cement prices also give rise to cost overruns. Moreover, as companies procure and own assets, they risk decreasing efficiencies and idle resources.
Fund-raising is another key challenge faced:
> One of the key challenges for the sector in the backdrop of market turmoil and fears of a slowdown is the ability to raise adequate financing required to fund the execution of existing large order books.

Once you implement the healthy eating practices, we've talked about over the last nine weeks, they'll become second nature, and they won't feel like work.
Shopping, preparing food in advance, even occasional fasting, will become more of a ritual. You won't even think about it. It'll just be the way you do things.
[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Have Fun"]Image from Dollar Photo Club Created in Canva[/featured-image]
Lastly, I want to remind you to have fun along the way. Being overly strict or rigid with your eating will create unnecessary stress.
Nature speaks to the idea that there is an ebb and flow to all creation. The sun rises; the sun sets. The seasons come; the seasons go. The tide comes in; the tide goes out. The waves crash on the shore; they gently recede.[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Juice Fasting"]Image from Dollar Photo Club Created in Canva[/featured-image]
Our bodies are made to embrace this same type of ebb and flow. We are to push into stress, and then pull back. Intermittent fasting fits very nicely into this model. There's a time for plenty, and a time for fasting.
It's crucial to be in the right frame of mind in order to properly digest our meals, and to ingest the nutrients from our food. Any form of mental/emotional stress is detrimental to our assimilation of nutrients.[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Body Soul Digestion"]Image from Dollar Photo Club Created in Canva[/featured-image]
Our autonomic nervous systems have two sides: "fight or flight" and "rest and digest." When we're in "fight-or-flight" mode, our bodies delay non-urgent activities to address the more urgent task of getting us out of danger.
Prior to WWII, all farmers were organic. They didn't call it "organic," they just called it "farming."
After the war, however, chemical pesticides and fertilizers (their constituents had been developed for chemical warfare) really took over the agriculture sector.[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Pesticides Davidsandstrom.com"]Created in Canva[/featured-image]
Except for air, water is our most important nutrient. We can go for weeks without food, but we can only survive for a few days without water.[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Glass of Water"]Image from Dollar Photo Club Created in Canva[/featured-image]
Let's start off with talking about water quality. City water in the United States is mostly free from bacteria and parasites. However, the chlorine used to disinfect the water is very harmful.
So adding chlorine to the city water supply is a very good idea. Not removing it before we drink it is a very bad idea.
Know your glycemic index. A food's glycemic index is a measure of how easily that food will raise glucose (sugar) levels in the blood. We all need to keep our blood sugar at stable levels.[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Toxic Sugar"]Image from Dollar Photo Club Created in Canva[/featured-image]
Glucose is important because the body uses it for energy. However, the body needs to keep our glucose levels within a surprisingly narrow range.
When we consume sugary foods, we spike our blood sugar levels. The body must respond by releasing insulin. Consistently high levels of insulin will cause all kinds of physical problems including obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Fat has gotten a really bad rap from food faddism fueled by misguided science. This began in the 1970s and continues through today.[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Healthy Fat"]Image from Dollar Photo Club Created in Canva[/featured-image]
We've all heard that a low-fat diet is the healthiest way to eat. Proponents have argued that we can reduce our risk of heart disease and stroke if we follow a low-fat regimen.
If that were true, wouldn't we see people getting healthier by now? It's time to add some fat and some flavor back into your diet.
We've all been there: We get invited to a party, and we just know there's going to be a plethora of junk food, challenging our resolve to eat healthy.[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Junk Food"]Image from Dollar Photo Club Created in Canva[/featured-image]
Or maybe you're simply going over a friend's house for dinner. Everyone wants to fit in (and not insult the host). There's a strong pull and no small amount of temptation to cave in and forget our healthy eating boundaries.
One of the best ways I know of to help stay on track with healthy eating is to prepare meals in advance.[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Mom and girl cooking"]Image from Dollar Photo Club Created in Canva[/featured-image]
We all have busy lives. When we get busy, it's easy to settle for a trip to the drive through or a frozen, microwave dinner instead of something healthier. The defense against this trap is to have some healthy meals prepared in advance.
Everyone should be eating food as close to it's God-given, natural form as possible.[featured-image single_newwindow="false" alt="Unprocessed Food"]Image from Dollar Photo Club Created in Canva[/featured-image]
The more man gets his hands on our food supply, the less healthy it is for us. Americans consume upwards of 90 percent of their nutrients as processed food. This is a very unhealthy practice.

AIDA is a standard set of interfaces for creating and manipulating histograms, n-tuples and related data analysis objects. It has been created cooperatively by a group of developers working on high-energy physics data analysis tools. The goal of the AIDA project is to provide the user with a powerful set of interfaces which can be used regardless of which analysis tool they are using. The advantages of this approach are that:
Currently two versions of the AIDA interfaces exist, one for Java and one for C++. The two interfaces are as identical as the underlying languages will permit.
We have been careful to avoid using a "lowest common denominator" approach in the development of the AIDA interfaces. Rather than limiting ourselves by the existing capabilities of the underlying analysis tools, we have designed a rich set of interfaces, with the expectation that the tool developers will need to add new features to support the full AIDA functionality. This does mean however that the early implementations of AIDA may not completely implement all features.
Before going into details, here is a trivial example program that uses the AIDA interfaces to create a 1D histogram, and display it.
import hep.aida.*; import java.util.Random; public class Histogram { public static void main(String[] argv) { IAnalysisFactory af = IAnalysisFactory.create(); IHistogramFactory hf = af.createHistogramFactory(af.createTreeFactory().create()); IHistogram1D h1d = hf.createHistogram1D("test 1d",50,-3,3); IHistogram2D h2d = hf.createHistogram2D("test 2d",50,-3,3,50,-3,3); Random r = new Random(); for (int i=0; i<10000; i++) { h1d.fill(r.nextGaussian()); h2d.fill(r.nextGaussian(),r.nextGaussian()); } IPlotter plotter = af.createPlotterFactory().create("Plot"); plotter.createRegions(1,2,0); plotter.region(0).plot(h1d); plotter.region(1).plot(h2d); plotter.show(); } }
A few things to notice in this example, first note that AIDA objects are always created from factories. Although different implementations of AIDA may return different objects from their factories, the returned objects will all implement the same standard AIDA interfaces. In this way it is possible to change from one AIDA implementation to another just by changing which IAnalysisFactory is used.
The rest of this document describes the key features that the AIDA user will need to know about:
In AIDA instead of creating objects directly using "new" one uses factories. There is one "master" factory, IAnalysisFactory from which other factories are obtained. The IAnalysisFactory allows you to obtain factories for creating trees (ITreeFactory), histograms, clouds and profile histograms (IHistogramFactory), tuples (ITupleFactory) etc.
You will see many examples of using factories in the remainder of this guide.

— Vladimir Putin
Vladimir Putin battled Rasputin, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, and Mikhail Gorbachev in Rasputin vs Stalin. He also made a cameo appearance through reused footage in Alexander the Great vs Ivan the Terrible, as well as another brief speaking appearance in an ERB News video. He was portrayed or voiced by Nice Peter on all three occasions.
Information on the rapper
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Russian: Владимир Владимирович Путин) was born on October 7, 1952. He is a Russian politician who has been the President of Russia since May 7, 2012. Putin previously served as President from 2000 to 2008, and as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. Putin was also previously the Chairman of United Russia political party.
For sixteen years, Putin was an officer in the KGB, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, before he retired to enter politics in his native Saint Petersburg in 1991. He moved to Moscow in 1996 and joined President Boris Yeltsin's administration where he rose quickly, becoming President on December 31st, 1999 when Yeltsin resigned unexpectedly. Putin won the subsequent 2000 presidential election and was re-elected in 2004. Because of constitutionally mandated term limits, he was ineligible to run for a third consecutive presidential term in 2008. Dmitry Medvedev won the 2008 presidential election and appointed Putin as Prime Minister, beginning a period of so-called "tandemocracy". In September 2011, following a change in the law, Putin announced that he would seek a third, non-consecutive term as President in the 2012 presidential election, an announcement which led to large-scale protests in many Russian cities. He won the election in March 2012 and is serving an increased six-year term. In March 2018, he was re-elected for a six-year term ending in 2024.
As president, Putin passed into law a flat income tax of 13%, a reduced profits tax, and new land and legal codes. As Prime Minister, Putin oversaw large scale military and police reform. His energy policy has affirmed Russia's position as an energy superpower. Putin supported high-tech industries such as the nuclear and defense industries. A rise in foreign investment contributed to a boom in such sectors as the automotive industry.
Putin rarely appears in public, and as such has been the subject of extensive criticism, particularly for his seemingly anti-Western sentiments and the actions taken in support of his views. As of 2015, he is believed responsible for much of the current Russo-Ukrainian conflict. He is also believed to be a person of interest in several high-profile international incidents as of 2018, among them the poisonings of dissidents and spies. He has thus far denied any involvement with hackers accused of attempting to manipulate the 2016 US elections that led Donald Trump to become the President of the United States.
Appearance in the rap battle (cameo)
Putin, alongside Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rasputin, Vladimir Lenin, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Joseph Stalin, appeared in the Red Square during the line in Ivan the Terrible's first verse, "I'm the first Tsar of all of Russia!"
Did somebody say real power?
Дa, you want to mess with me?
I spit hot borscht when I'm crushing these beats.
Blow it up like a tuba, while I'm balling in Cuba,
Doing judo moves and schooling every communist сука.
I'm a president in my prime. My enemies don't distract me.
The last man who attacked me lived a half-life, so comrade, come at me!
You don't know what you're doing when you try to bust a rhyme against a mind like Putin!
You'll find that the ex-KGB is the best MC in the ex-CCCP!
Scrapped lyrics
We're all Russians, no one's going to get their butt kicked
The way our space program's whipped NASA's ass with Sputnik!
- Putin's quote in the end of Nice Peter vs EpicLLOYD is the reason behind the Season 2 finale being a Russian battle.
- He is the sixth rapper to enter due to something said by a rapper or the announcer in battle.

A new materia.se
Welcome to a new materia.se. We have rebuilt the website from scratch and in addition to it being responsive (the content automatically adjusts to fit different screen sizes), we are introducing a number of improved features which we believe you will enjoy. For instance it has never been easier to be inspired. Images can be sorted according to type of environment, furniture or case study. Another feature we have added is the automatic compilation of product details to create a product sheet when you choose to print or save as a PDF. Take some time to have a look around the site and see how the new features can help you.
New communications concept: Design meets…
2014 marks the start of a new communications concept. At Materia, we view our work in a larger perspective, where meetings between people is the driving force for innovative furniture design. We have taken this onboard and highlight it in the "Design meets…" concept which for instance can be seen as printed advertisements in trade magazines and newspapers.
"The interior design sector has already reacted very positively to the new concept. Basing the communicative approach on the everyday lives of people and how our furniture design encounters users provides a genuine and authentic picture of our products," says Tobias Söder, sales and marketing manager at Materia.
The new concept is also integrated into Materia's new website, where it has become easier to find inspiration and information.

I'm Not a Sim
I recently dusted off my old "Sims" game; the version where you move people around in an environment you create, give them jobs, maintain their health and relationships, and so on. It can be really addicting.
Playing the game reminds me of the nihilistic idea that we are all part of a computer simulation, and we don't realize that our reality is not the real thing. We are being experimented upon my an evil demon, aliens, or of course, God. Same thing. It's not very rare that, when I am having a discussion with someone new about religion or philosophy, I am assaulted by the words, "The Matrix." I have to fight to keep from completely shutting down at this point. It's not simply because The Matrix is just not a very good movie, and The Truman Show more concisely and more skillfully explains this concept, it's that I get the feeling that there are millions of guys out there who think The Matrix is a good and original basis for an entire philosophy.
It's not.
If there is no evidence that we are living in a simulated world, there is no point in even discussing the matter. In such a world, we have no way of knowing what reality is. We couldn't know what evidence was if we saw it. For that matter, we would not be justified in judging that the simulators'--or God's--reality was the real reality, and not a meta-simulation of a meta-simulation. We could never trust any perception. There would be no point in communicating, and no point in questioning one's perceptions anyway. Yet many do--and contradict themselves. They would not be able to say that reality is based on an evil demon objectivity, or that reality is subjective--yet they do.
The fact is that simulated worlds exist--in our imaginations. We are not subject to these simulations, we create them. It is a sort of idealism that takes our own concepts that exist in our brains and puts them in an imaginary world that is "more real" than ours. Is the grass greener? Are our lives too grey? I think that it's a lack of imagination and curiositythat is dissatisfied with reality; not the reverse. It can also be argued that it comes out of a desire to place the responsibiliy for one's actions in the hands of another and play the victim. It sounds a lot like Christianity, doesn't it?
But we'll talk more about this, diary.

I look forward to reading more of what you have to say on this subject. Interesting coincidence: a comment on my blog yesterday was, "There is no spoon". May I add a link to your blog, by the way?
My response to the "Matrix" philosophy, or the "brain in the jar", or whatever it's called this year has long been to counter with, "A difference that makes no difference is no difference". I only start a different chain of causality if I allow my belief in the nature of things to alter my behavior. I will stub my toe on the table leg whether it's all in my head or not, so I might as well treat it as real. As you point out, I have no real evidence to the contrary anyway.

I struggle with this subject, but I'm sure I'll get back to it.

A little exercise will always go a long way
Exercise is vital when it comes to strengthening our muscles and cardiovascular system. It is also a fun and enjoyable way to get the feel-good factor; especially when combined with a healthy approach to eating and drinking.
You don't need to be a professional athlete – or even a fitness bunny – to partake in a little regular light exercise. In fact, research shows that the "little and often" approach is far better than sweating it out for hours in a gym.

I got my first bike when I was 12, and promptly fell off it going down our gravel driveway too fast. I limped home with a bloodied knee, but this accident did not deter me. Once my tears had dried, I got back on the bike.
The bike was blue, gearless, and it spelled freedom. I lived on a farm 5 miles out of town, but with the bike, I suddenly had mobility. Once I'd mastered the art of riding downhill, I explored the farm by bike. I rode to visit my cousins in one direction, my auntie and uncle in another, and the river where we used to swim, in yet another. Continue reading


text: We went down to Athens 1st Branch and gave our talks! Being as it is the Greek branch, to give your talk, you have an interpreter standing beside you and you deliver a sentence or whatever you think is manageable to the interpreter. I felt this method really messed up the flow of what I was trying to present - one hopes that the audience will make up for the disadvantages of hearing it that way. After that meeting, we left and went over to Halandri Branch. It was their Branch Conference and usually the talks at branch conferences are top-notch and they didn't disappoint this time - they were excellent. Came back home and spent the rest of the afternoon tidying up and preparing for the Collier's arrival this evening - they were driving down from Thessaloniki (6 hours). The weather had turned dark, cold and threatening - so we made a large pot of soup which seemed appropriate. They arrived about 8 pm and we shared the soup and had a good "gab-fest!"

RAZE 25kg 'Elite' Solid Rubber Plate *CLICK HERE*
Product Details
Olympic lifting is a highly technical discipline that requires skill, power, strength and speed. To do it right takes the right equipment.
RAZE solid rubber plates are made with a precision, attention to detail and quality of material you will struggle to find anywhere else.
Through meticulous research, development, testing and refinement, we have determined that each weight of plate needs to have its own special blend of rubber compound to ensure it has the correct structural integrity and strength to withstand the rigours of being repeatedly dropped. To safeguard the recipe and guarantee the quality the secret rubber compounds are mixed 'on-site' at our factory, and before production begins each compound is tested to make sure it meets the exact requirements and specifications.
Every single plate is weighed at two separate points during the production process to ensure it is within specified limits, then at the end of the production cycle a selection of plates are drop tested up to thirty thousand times, just for good measure!
When only the best will do look no further than the RAZE Elite plates. Manufactured to be as close to the IWF standard as possible, these plates feature a large solid steel centre hub which effectively allows the plates to be narrower than the Black or Premium Series plates while still maintaining a high level of durability – ultimately meaning you can load much more weight onto the bar.
Each weight is a different colour for easy weight identification, in-line with the IWF colour specifications
During the production process the weight of each plate is calibrated to within a tolerance of +/- 0.5%.
Note: All weights/bars/attachments shown are for illustrative purposes only and are sold separately unless stated otherwise.
A-Unit constantly strive to improve our products, therefore we reserve the right that from time to time we may 'tweak' our designs in order to deliver the best results for you.

New Houston head coach Tony Levine and the rest of the Cougars staff has been busy on the recruiting trail in the last week, firming up the commitments they have and trying to land a few more future Cougars in the process.
On Sunday night, the Cougars bolstered their future defensive line with news of the verbal commitment of Lago Vista defensive lineman Donald Hopkins.
Hopkins, a former Missouri commitment, pledged to Houston on Sunday, bringing the current UH 2012 recruiting class to 20 members. Hopkins is a 2012 Under-Armour All-American and played in its annual all-star game on Jan. 5.
The 6-2, 275-pounder is ranked as the 17th-best defensive tackle in the country by ESPN.com, 22nd at his position by Scout.com and 35th at DT by Rivals.com.
He He ended up choosing Houston over his other finalist, Utah. He recently took an official visit to Utah but had already taken an official visit to Houston on the weekend of Dec. 16-18.
Video highlights of Hopkins:
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rutWl1OAmME&w=560&h=315]
Notably, Hopkins said Houston's recent success on the field didn't play a huge role in his decision, but rather his comfort level with the campus and the coaching staff.
"It was more about how I felt there and the people I had around me there," Hopkins said.
Hopkins held more than 15 scholarship offers, including from Missouri, Utah, Alabama, Baylor, Tulsa and Arizona State according to Rivals.com and ESPN.com. He is the 28th ranked prospect in Texas per ESPN and 64th ranked prospect in Texas according to Rivals.
Hopkins said he wanted to stay closer to his home, wanted to play in a big city and has developed a good relationship with UH defensive line coach Carlton Hall, all of which contributed to his decision.
"He's a real laid back guy," Hopkins said of Hall. "I went to a practice at UH and he's real good with technique.
Hopkins made his official visit on the weekend of Dec. 16-18 when the UH head coaching situation was still up in the air. But he met with interim coach Tony Levine and said that the meeting went well and that he hoped Levine would get the job.
"He seemed like a pretty cool guy," Hopkins said of Levine.
It is the first commitment that UH has landed since hiring Levine. The Cougars had 20 verbal commitments before the coaching change from Kevin Sumlin (who left for Texas A&M) to Levine and got down to 19 after the Cougars parted ways with former quarterback commitment Austin Grammer of Tuscaloosa (Ala.) American Christian Academy. The UH staff wants to land a quarterback prospect from within the state of Texas and will try to do so before signing day arrives on Feb. 1.
With 20 commitments in tow and UH looking to hang on to all of those, expect the Cougars to try to add as many as five more players to the current class. Verbal commitments are non-binding and don't become official until a prospect signs a national letter of intent. Feb. 1 will be the first day high school seniors in the class of 2012 can do so.
UH will soon be adding another member to its football coaching staff.
New head coach Tony Levine will hire DeSoto High School head coach Claude Mathis as the school's running backs coach later this week.
Levine and Mathis crossed paths in 1997 at Texas State. Mathis was a senior running back for the Bobcats while Levine was an assistant receivers/tight ends coach there.
Mathis has gone on to be a successful Texas high school football coach. He spent four seasons at DeSoto and went 36-14. The Eagles were often state-ranked during Mathis' tenure.
This hire is similar to Kevin Sumlin's hiring of Clarence McKinney back when Sumlin formed his original UH coaching staff in 2008. McKinney was successful in the high school ranks but had no college coaching experience before his arrival. The same will apply for Mathis, who no doubt knows the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area well.
It will be interesting to see the impact this hire has on recruiting since DeSoto itself is known for producing Division I talent from its campus and resides in an area rich on talent. The South Dallas area includes talent-rich schools like Cedar Hill, Duncanville and Lancaster, schools near DeSoto, where Mathis coached.
With Mathis' addition, that leaves three staff positions left for Levine to fill: outside receivers, one defensive assistant spot and a strength and conditioning coach.

Keene, N.H. - April 12, 2018 - The Springfield College baseball team fell to Keene State, 14-10, in non-conference play on Thursday afternoon at the Owl Athletic Complex. With the loss, the Pride is now 17-7-2, while the Owls improve to 11-9.
Sophomore Nick Naples (Kensington, Conn.) got the nod for the Pride, but was quickly replaced by Dakota Aldrich (Ellington, Conn.), who went 3.0 strong innings, holding the Owls to just two hits. From there, the committee of Duncan Satterlee (Albany, N.Y.) and Kenny Walton (New Providence, Pa.) each came on in relief, while Jordan Elkary (North Easton, Mass.) and Jake Gleason (South Dennis, Mass.) came on for the final four outs.
Offensively, Alex Denoyelle (Woonsocket, R.I.) went 2-for-5 and hit his first-career home run, while Chad Shade (Pittsfield, Mass.) hit his third home run of the season and stole two bases in the setback. Logan Barrett (Petersham, Mass.) also had three hits on the day and two RBI.
Keene State starter Steven Zadravec (Fairfield, Conn.) went for 5.0 frames and allowed 10 hits and seven runs, while striking out six.
Springfield College got on the board in the top of the first inning when David Wells (Shelton, Conn.) scored on an error, before Keene State exploded for eight runs in the bottom half of the frame, including a grand slam off the bat of Abe Grainger (Bedford, Mass.), to spot the Owls an 8-1 lead after one. The Pride responded in the top of the second as Denoyelle hit his first-career home run, as two-run blast to make it 8-3, before Barrett doubled to right, scoring Shade, cutting Springfield College's deficit to four.
Keene State added three more runs in the bottom of the fourth to open an 11-4 lead over Springfield College, but Shade would hit his third home run of the season, followed by a two-run single from Kyle Allen (Westerly, R.I.) to make it 11-7. Grainger drove in another run in the bottom of the fifth to push the Owls' lead back to five, but Springfield College once again pulled back to within three when Barrett drove in Nick Leduc (Belchertown, Mass.) on a single to right, before Shade scored on a wild pitch, making it 12-9, Keene State.
Springfield College would pull to within a pair in the top of the seventh when Wells grounded into a fielder's choice, allowing Brandon Drabinski (Lisbon, Conn.) to score, but Keene State would close the door with two more in the bottom of the frame to seal the 14-10 win.
Next, the Pride will return home to Archie Allen Field on Friday, April 13 when it will open a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) West series with Clark at 3:30 p.m.

At the crossroads of Southeast Asia, lies Singapore, a bustling mecca where diverse cultures and multiple nationalities collide to live, work and most importantly, eat together. Known as a culinary melting pot that unites the influence of Malaysian, Indonesian, Chinese, Indian and Nonya cuisine to deliver fragrant fares that are complex in flavors and truly unique to the city itself. It was here that inspired a lifelong love and true passion for food for Chris Yeo, influencing his path to becoming a world-renowned chef.
Born in Hong Kong and raised in Singapore, Chris graduated from the Singapore Hotel and Catering School in 1968 and worked for the Mandarin Hotel for two years. Unsatisfied with the hospitality industry, he left for London, England in 1970 to start a career as a hairstylist working under Vidal Sassoon. A decade later, he relocated to San Francisco where he launched the Yeo Hair Design studio in Haight-Ashbury. With a love of entertaining people through his outgoing and vibrant personality, Chris realized that his true passion was in creating food. He decided to embark on a journey to trade in his blow dryers for butane burners and present to San Francisco the traditionally famous flavors of Singapore, reminiscent of his childhood.
In 1987, Chris opened Straits in San Francisco, named after The Strait of Malacca that winds between the borders of Singapore and Malaysia. His meticulously executed, delectable dishes were an instant success, converting a whole new following to the additive and magnificently crave-worthy flavors of his hometown.
Ignited with a mission to inspire and encourage guests to discover the bold combinations of Pan Asian style cuisine, Chef Yeo's concept focuses on serving small plates, shared family style that highlight Singapore's authentic taste mashed with a contemporary, dynamic twist. Food pairings are created daily inspired from Chef Yeo's heart and served with passion to incorporate new, artisanal interpretations of enduring traditional favorites.
Fast forward to 2016 and Chris has a collection of dining establishments under the Chris Yeo Group, all blending his signature style of traditional cooking roots with innovative taste and complex variations. The future looks bright for Chef Yeo and the future also holds many more palate pleasing dishes to impress sophisticated foodies across the nation.

See how HealthStream uses artificial intelligence (AI) to personalize competency development and improve quality outcomes.
Learn how HealthStream's leadership development solution allows you to cultivate a culture of future leaders.
One solution to deliver, test, and measure your organization's knowledge.
We partner with the best in the industry to offer innovative ways to improve your revenue cycle education and workforce development.
More 2,400 hospitals and 1,000 medical groups rely on our powerful suite of products.
The American Red Cross Resuscitation Suite ™ for BLS, ALS and PALS is consistent with guidelines historically used in U.S. resuscitation programs.
Research is meant to be shared. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) reviews the evidence and develops a consensus on science with treatment recommendations known as the CoSTR. The CoSTR is used by resuscitation organizations around the world as the scientific basis for the content they develop.
The science shows that interval training is effective in improving resuscitation outcomes across the care continuum. Because codes are less frequent in non-emergency care settings, skills that are refreshed in two-year increments will likely not result in high-quality, life-saving CPR. Building muscle memory creates more competent and confident clinicians for both adult and neonatal resuscitation practices. Like top athletes who use interval training—periods of intense work followed by periods of rest and recovery—effective resuscitation training works the same way
How can an organization effectively manage this training and development approach?
It's simple. Use the Interval Dial to select the optimal practice frequency for your organization's unique needs or student group. Finally, you can control the time interval for developing your staff, creating more competent and confident clinicians and caregivers.
HealthStream, in partnership with the American Red Cross, now offers a new choice for advancing resuscitation competency throughout your organization.
Based on worldwide resuscitation science, every element is focused on improving responses to real-world resuscitation events. Combining the most advanced learning technologies with an innovative, interval-based approach to training providers and team leaders, the American Red Cross Resuscitation Suite™ is driving the next wave of resuscitation excellence.
—Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, HealthStream
The American Red Cross Resuscitation Suite™ features powerful video, using real clinicians in real environments. Learners not only connect more with real-world scenarios, it's easier to master both technical and non-technical skill when reality is more accurately reflected.
When every member of the resuscitation team is both competent and confident, lives are saved. For on-the-go learners, the content works with smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Developing high-performing teams is easier than ever.
Instead of a one-size-fits all approach for every staff member in your organization, the American Red Cross Resuscitation Suite™ features high impact, adaptive learning design. With pre-assessments, it automates a personalized learning plan to optimize seat time and learner retention.
Mastery-based team response scenarios and purposeful debriefing are used to maximize true competency development and self-efficacy.
Immediate feedback is critical during CPR practice given the rate at which compressions are performed. Audio can't keep up, making it difficult to adapt effectively. Evaluate the efficacy of compressions by leveraging the most modern manikins demonstrating brain perfusion through LED lighting.
Beyond compression rate, learners receive performance feedback on compression depth, hand position, number of cycles, and ventilation volume. The process is seamless, quantitative and highly visual, improving learner's competence and confidence.

Running a Scam
By Dan Berger
When you sit down to taste a glass of wine, one of the first things you do is to make an instant judgment as to whether you like it. And the more you know about the wine, the easier it is to make that judgment.
Say someone hands you a glass of white wine and asks, "What do you think about this?" Chances are your first thought is: what sort of a trick is this person playing on me? Is this a $100 bottle of French Burgundy? Or is it a $3.99 bottle this guy thinks is a great buy?
This test (which happens all the time to wine writers) immediately brings into play the motivations of the person serving you the wine. Is he or she a trickster, prone to pranks? Is this a person who is always looking for bargains, or one who takes pride in buying only super-quality wines and serving them blind?
So begins an instant analysis of the situation — a look at the person serving the wine, and all previous contact you have had with this person. It all comes into play. It is the context that provides you with a clue as to the real nature of the wine, which helps you say whether you like it or not.
Context provides the colors that flesh out the experience and make a good wine great, much the way oil paints expand a pencil drawing into a masterpiece, or the way a full orchestra expands the sketched notes on a sheet of paper into the multi-faceted magic we call music.
It's been said that in a blind tasting of wine, one look at the label is worth 10 years of tasting experience. But even just a clue can help. If you know a friend is passionate about Brunello, and you are served a tart red wine, lacking any other clues you might guess that's what it is.
Without any hints whatever, you might like or dislike a wine on rather visceral level. But when you know something about a wine, you can give additional support to your judgment about it.
Often I find a varietal wine that I like even though it doesn't offer any of the varietal character I expect. These are rarely great wines, but they are satisfying to consume if you forget what varietal it is supposed to be.
It is for reasons related to context that I looked askance not long ago at a supposedly scientific study that purported to show that wine experts don't know much more than the average person about wine.
In a report out of London, the study asked wine experts to identify certain aspects of wines about which they knew absolutely nothing. Lacking a context, many experts would be stumped.
Based solely on the article I read, this "scientific" study seemed to be a joke, and any good journalist ought to be able to shoot holes in it paragraph by paragraph.
Here are just a few of the holes:
" 'The truth is that you cannot define taste objectively,' said Frédéric Brochet, a researcher from Bordeaux whose study won an award from the Amorim wine academy in France."
Taste can be quantified. Is Brochet saying people can't tell salt water from sweetened water, and grade subtleties in between? What about detecting the difference between the aromas of peach, pear, and lemon? Moreover, what is the Amorim Academy? Amorim is a cork manufacturer. Did Amorim pay Brochet to do this study? If so, what is this "award" all about? And what sort of "researcher" is Brochet?
The article continued: "The opinions of the so-called connoisseurs are no better and perhaps worse than that of the occasional drinker, he said." An opinion is just that, neither right nor wrong. And sensory judgments are based on skill levels. Some people have a better sense memory than others.
More from the article: "The greater the expertise, the greater the cultural baggage that prevents you from perceiving the actual taste in your mouth."
Totally wrong. The greater the expertise, the more sensitive is the palate to subtle nuances. You can train people to taste more acutely.
"Brochet carried out two studies. In the first, he invited 54 of Bordeaux's eminent wine experts to sample different bottles, including a white wine to which he had added a flavourless substance giving it a red colour. Not a single expert noticed. 'It is a well-known psychological phenomenon — you taste what you are expecting to taste,' Brochet said. 'They were expecting to taste a red wine, and so they did.' "
The trick here is that the tasters were fooled into believing that the liquid was red. Had they been blindfolded instead and not told whether the sample was white or red, I'm sure most would have scored a lot better.
Moreover, the article never mentions whether the wines in this test were particularly identifiable or even palatable before they were doctored. What if the wines the experts were asked to analyze were truly awful, lacking in any distinctive varietal character, or in fact misleading in their varietal character?
"In the second test, 57 experts tasted the same average bottle of Bordeaux wine on two occasions. The first time it was labeled as a high-prestige Grand Cru, and the second time it was labeled as a cheap vin de table. When they thought it was a Grand Cru, the experts described it as agreeable, woody, complex, balanced and rounded. When they thought it was a vin de table, they said it was weak, short, light, flat, faulty and with a sting. Forty said the wine was good when they thought it was expensive, but only 12 when it was cheap."
This aspect of the test may be the most valid, and yet I'm unnerved by so obvious a fallacy as the way this "scientific" test was conducted, by asking the tasters to describe the wine.
Did the evaluator stage classic triangular tests? (Probably not.) Or a T-Test for statistical accuracy? Did he ask the judges to score the wines? Was the "high quality" wine poured first or second, or was the test done randomly, some tasters getting the "Grand Cru" first and others second? Were the wines tasted in a side-by-side test? What was the standard deviation in the tasters' evaluations of the wines?
Obviously I have a lot of problems with this whole story.

Hill Top was bought by Beatrix Potter in 1906 eventually leaving it to the National Trust on her death in 1943. It was opened to the public by the Trust in 1946 and displayed many of her original drawings but these have subsequently been moved to the old offices of William Heelis where they are currently displayed. Hill Top remains open to the public as a museum to Beatrix and still retains the character of the house as it was when she died.
Tarn Hows is a picturesque beauty sport just to the north of Coniston, originally three smaller tarns, Low, Middle and High, but the building of a dam raised the water level to create a larger body of water. Tarn How's is accessible to everyone, regardless of age and physical ability due to it's manageable footpath. The footpath around the tarn is just short of two miles long and offers the most stunning views!

With 3 days of political debates, 12 workshops, 12 leaders of European social democracy, 21 partners and organisations involved, 67 honourable speakers, over 1000 and over 2000 tweets – the FEPS "Progressive Renaissance for Europe Forum" was the momentum through which all involved could truly live the bright spirit of European politics.
Held on 3rd – 5th April 2014, the event marked the 4th successful event of the cycle of the debates "Renaissance for Europe". Following the mobilisation in Paris ahead of the French Presidential elections, then the rally in Turin before the Italian Parliamentary elections, and then after having celebrated the 150 years anniversary of SPD in Leipzig – we have taken a new step, to even in a more outspoken way connect what belongs together: national and the European politics.
During the Leaders' debate hold on Friday night more than 800 people listened to the inspirational visionary speeches by Kathleen Van Brempt, top candidate of MEPs, Socialistische Partij Anders (sp.a), Marie Arena, top candidate of MEPs, Parti Socialiste (PS), Bruno Tobback, President of the Socialistische Partij Anders (sp.a), Massimo D'Alema, President of FEPS and former Prime Minister of Italy, Elio Di Rupo, Prime Minister of Belgium, and Martin Schulz, Candidate for the President of the European Commission. They took the time to challenge us to stretch horizons of our political imagination, to get a courage to pave the way towards a different Europe before the upcoming historical elections.
We constructed the concept of the "Renaissance for Europe" was in accordance to the spirit of our organisation to offer a new format and herewith enable a more engaged participation of the attendees. This is why we started our dialogue with the Progressive leaders (Hannes Swoboda, Zita Gurmai, Kaisa Penny...) introducing a new method called "Renaissance Spotlight". It required the leaders of our movement to answer the most pressing, most challenging questions that came from the audience. Held in a television style, the debate inspired over 60 speakers to take the floor.
What is more, the workshops following on the next day offered a possibility for all – FEPS, its members and partners – to share with one another what they would see as essential to stimulate Europe to take a different course on one hand, and on the other to enable citizens to entrust both the progressive politicians and Europe again.
We organised two working-lunch debates, one of which was focused on the question of Ukraine and the new geopolitical approach that Europe should take towards Russia. In parallel, the second discussion in a format of a literature cafe featured a debate with two authors of new volumes, Bernard Guetta and Roger Liddle, regarding their personal views on the future of Europe.
Abiding by the idea that European, national, regional and local levels are multi-pier features of the democratic governance. Involving the mayors of the 6 countries, we asked why in that the social democratic agenda on the local level seem to have a power of a greater appeal than the one on the European. This led us to deliberate upon the principle of subsidiarity and the ways it can still be understood in a progressive, pro-European idea.

Ninety-seven percent of the breweries in the United States are craft breweries, and at the moment, new craft breweries are opening at the rate of one each day says US News. That's pretty amazing. There are 2,126 breweries in total – that number includes craft breweries and big breweries like Miller or Budweiser. Compare today's number to the late 1970s when there were only 89 breweries in the country, and you can see the impact that the craft beer movement has had.
While the number of breweries is increasing, the overall amount of money Americans are spending on beer has decreased, but it's the major brewers that are seeing the decrease in revenue. Craft brewers dollar sales have been up 14 percent the first half of this year.
Wineries are doing well, too. Since 2007, the number of wineries in the U.S. has increased by 2,000, bringing the total to 6,672. This is the most wineries the country has ever had. The increase in wineries has been driven by the locavore movement and the interest in agritourism.
If you want to see experience one of our countries wineries or breweries, you can locate a winery near you at All American Wineries or at Craft Beer.
