Following the recent refurbishment of 53 bedrooms to reach a minimum four-star standard, Conference Aston gave guests a guided tour of the enhanced restaurant, bar and lounge areas before being whisked across campus to Aston University for the opening of the brand new Conference Aston Meeting Suites (CAMS).
As Conference Aston prepares to close its Lakeside Conference Centre to begin the next phase of redevelopment work, CAMS allows them to continue to offer modern and spacious meeting rooms for the next three years.
Professor Dame Julia King said: "Conference Aston has completed a wonderful design job. Sustainability is a strong theme that is running through the current and future redevelopment work and this will ensure that they remain one of the city's greenest meeting venues.
"The new complex will provide top-of-the-range facilities for training, development and private dining. In the long term, this space will be used for learning and teaching facilities to meet the demand of our increasing student numbers - although we may have trouble getting it back from Conference Aston!"
It was crucial that we were able to offer our clients a new, higher quality conference venue, befitting of the city's reputation as a leading destination for business tourism
Lucy Talbot, Director of Conference Aston, said: "With the impending redevelopment of the Lakeside Centre, it was crucial that we were able to offer our clients a new, higher quality conference venue, befitting of the city's reputation as a leading destination for business tourism.
"If anything, the new space has allowed us to improve on what we can offer and this has been reflected by the bookings we already have from the likes of Birmingham City Council, NHS and Sustainability West Midlands."

We Need Translators At Every Step
«Я просто потихонечку живу...» на Яндекс.Фотках
We do not think about it but it's impossible to imagine modern life without translations. People all over the world use the same products, technologies which manuals are translated in hundreds of languages. These translations have to be made by alive translators because no one even the best technology can understand the sense of the sentences. We watch the same movies, read the same news. Even the food we eat comes from different parts of the world. And it's just enough to understand the importance of the translators' job.
Here are some other examples. I wanted to list all of them because even the professional translators do not realize the importance of what they are doing all their life. Not for complications of the idea or something like this but for it's simplicity.
Now, think a moment:
did you never support a team or a sportsman from other country? How would you know more about it/ him if you could not read about?
Did you ever support an opinion of a person from other country? Nelson Mandela or Obama that be. How could you understand the situation in the place your loved ones or Facebook friends live in?
Do you know somebody who follows a foreign religion? Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity or what other you just remember...
Now, you will smile... Where comes your LOOK from? Your clothes? Your hairstyle? In the last period, I've seen many girls with this hairstyle like in this video and like it very much
But the role of translator is much more important: the right or wrong translation can influence the decisions of the governments, of the military leaders. That is why is so decisive when the translator knows the country She / He works in. It's well known fact that all we have different uses, mentality. And, when the translator can't amortize the differences of understanding, it can lead to the great, really great problems.
What could happen when the meditians of one country where the outbreak of a dangerous disease happens could not communicate with the researchers from other countries? Not from one but from many different countries? What would happen if they would give wrong quantities of the medicine?
If you want to begin this business and you read about the problems you can meet on your way, in this blog, too, you could think it's not an important job to have so many sacrifices.
First of all, every beginning has more or less the same problems. In any case you have to tread on somebodies pet corn. There is not place where somebody is waiting for you. You have to make much to take your bread in the life. And butter on your piece of bread is the awareness you are doing something very important.

text: I was reunited with an old friend today and I realised something; things change. I know that is a given, John Green even wrote about it in one of his novels, but for me, the small things change (and I'm not talking about physical changes or the things I go out of my way to alter), stuff I don't even realise when it's happening and it is only when I look back to a previous time that I notice just how much so. I am a completely different person compared to who I was a year ago. I am someone I once hoped to be and I think it's not only through change but realising my potential that I have become the person I am today, one I am quite proud of. I want to continue to change, growing as I do so (not only in height because I hope to be six feet tall someday but as a person) and for what it's worth, it is never too late to be whoever you want to be.

Not Good News: DOJ re-starts "adoptive seizures"
Okay. I have talked several times about civil asset forfeiture, the corrupt outgrowth of the corrupt war on drugs under which police can seize personal assets based on nothing more than their claimed belief that those assets either are related to illegal drug activity or were paid for with the proceeds of illegal drug activity. They can do this even if they have no basis for any charges against the person possessing the asset. What's more, at that point the burden of proof gets flipped and if you want your stuff or your money back, you have to somehow prove the negative that it was not related to illegal activity.
No, I am not exaggerating. Not one bit.
And remember, this is a civil matter, not a criminal one, so you have no right to an attorney and so any legal costs get paid out of your own pocket, with the result that most victims don't even try to get their money or goods returned because they don't have the money to fight back or even if they do, the legal costs involved would be more than the asset is worth.
It is a horrendous practice which over the past three years 24 states have moved to curtail, often requiring conviction of some crime before assets can be seized.
But even with limitations, there was a big loophole for the cops. It's called adoptive seizure and it works this way: A state cops seizes your property and then transfers it to the federal government, which "adopts" the seizure and keeps the property under federal law, which is unrestricted by the protections in your state. The feds then give 80 percent of the value of the seized property to the state - and not even to the state's general fund but to the cops and prosecutors. In other words, the feds were essentially paying state cops to circumvent their own state law.
In 2015, then-Attorney General Eric Holder effectively eliminated the adoptive seizure program, with the result that seizures under it dropped from $65 million to $15,000 in one year.
So what's the Not Good News? On July 19, Attorney General Jeff "I am not a racist, I swear I'm not" Sessions announced the DOJ is reauthorizing adoptive seizures, re-opening the door to the corruption and abuse that have marked the program from the beginning.
A coalition of 21 constitutional and civil rights organizations ranging from the Institute for Justice and the ACLU to the Goldwater Institute and the Reason Foundation have called on the Congress to quickly act on legislation to shut this down - but frankly, I'd say don't count on it that happening any time soon.

But it should not prevent the SVG WG to go further with their standardization efforts. I'd rather like to see the browsers implement a SVG sub profile than nothing at all. That subprofile could be SVG 1.2 basic or SVG 1.1. Or, if you like a subprofile called "SVG static" defined by W3C to be used in a webbrowser for static display of vector graphics. I could also live with a separate "SVG application profile" that is only supported by Adobe/Batik or any other full SVG UA and not by the average webbrowser. For the long run: you cannot deny that there is a demand for the web to go towards rich client applications, where intelligence is moved from the server to the client. The web today, and even more in the future, is not just about static documents any more. This is where SVG and Flash come in.

Reports suggest that there is an improving amount of people availing of chiropractic care aid to relieve scalp aches, neck pain, arthritis, as well as other muscle pain.

"The apartment was just what we wanted for a short stay near London. It was ideal for Kew Gardens and for travelling into town for all the other attractions. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Being in a secure block also meant feeling secure whilst giving us the freedom that a hotel could not offer. Our 11 year old had her own room and with the full kitchen we were able to relax after days of sightseeing rather than having to find restaurants etc for meals. With shops, buses and tubes within a short distance it was easy to get around. The view from the balcony was spectacular, being able to see most of London including Westfield shopping (the largest in Europe). You would be hard pushed to find anywhere better."
"Als erstes: ein spitzenmäßiger, überaus netter und hilfsbereiter Vermieter! Die Wohnung mit Ihrer Dachterrasse bietet am Abend einen wunderschönen Anblick der Londoner Skyline. Mittels Bus, Bushaltestellen gleich um die Ecke, ist man in 20 Minuten an einer zentralen Metrostation (Shepards Bush). Von hier aus mittels Underground ca. 10 Minuten, dann befindet man sich an der Westminster Bridgestone o.ä.... Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet - vor allem bequeme Betten... Würde diese Wohnung vorbehaltlos weiterempfehlen!"
"For London the space in the apartment was great. Location close to Tube was helpful."
"amazing apartment, service is absolutely fab, don't have anything bad to say about the property. Nadim is a great host! Thank you"
"Great apartment, fantastic balcony and view, very clean, lots of storage, comfortable and Netflix!"
"Staff were helpful. We needed no contact after the initial meet. Good location for buses and connections to underground/overground. Would go back, decent price."
"Great location, apartment was big, very clean, but above all the hosts were amazing, exceptionally friendly and very accommodating. If you need accommodation near Wembley don't book a hotel, book an apartment. Better value, free parking, bigger rooms... Everything is just better."
"My family and I stayed here for 1 night for Ed Sheeran playing at Wembley Stadium. The apartment was spotless, spacious and modern. We had a little trouble finding it but phoned the host who came and found us and directed us, really helpful. I have 2 young children who stayed with my mother while we went to the gig, they loved watching Netflix and I felt happy they were in a safe location only a short distance away should they need me. Couldn't fault the host who was polite and friendly. Secure parking, and only a 2 minute walk to the stadium. Definitely stay here again!"
"It was beautiful. Amazing views of the city. Lovely facilities. Clean, new and modern finishes. Comfortable beds. The host went out of his way to get us parking which we really appreciated. 10minute walk to the station. Beautiful little suburb. Really enjoyed our stay!!!"
"Beautiful, modern, comfortable and centrally located apartment. The hosts were the absolute best!!! Thank you for your superb hospitality. Very much appreciated."
"spacious well equipped apartment, welcoming host, free secure parking, close proximity to tube"
"Absolutely loved the apartment! - It was very comfortable and in an ideal location for us visiting both the SSE Arena and travelling into central London for a spot of tourism... ...The place had everything we needed, including a small but well stocked Tesco supermarket downstairs, which was so convenient. There were also lots of places to eat nearby, but we opted to spend an evening in cooking and watching movies on Netflix. Really did feel like a home away from home."
"...lovely host, very welcoming and helpful. The house was very clean and comfortable with excellent public transport very close by. Check in and out is very smooth and Nadim always communicated without delay. Thank you."
"What a wonderful experience... As the booker of a surprise London trip to the boxing for my nephew and his girlfriend, I couldn't have had a smoother, friendlier, more welcoming process. From when they arrived until they left, they felt at home, completely engaged by staff, and as though they could contact them for anything (which they did and were greatly appreciative of all hints and tips!). They said your apartment was spotless, excellently presented and in a smashing location."
"Beautiful, modern, comfortable and centrally located apartment. The hosts were the absolute best!!! Thank you for your superb hospitality. Very much appreciated."
"Excellent location, excellent facilities. Hot weekend in London. Probably the only weekend of the year when air conditioning would have made it much more comfortable!"
"A great house with plenty of space and a great garden for warm summer evenings. Lovely bright and spacious bedrooms and off road parking brilliant."
"Amazing visit - Very comfortable with everything you could need from an apartment. Very clean and quiet. Slightly out the way from the main points of interest but nothing a train journey can't solve"
"Amazing place! You can see the Wembley Stadium from the living room. Very luxury and clean. Staff was very kind!"
"The location was not far from the tube station, and in fact there was a Tesco right downstairs so was very convenient. The apartment is perfect for a couple for a couple nights.. the welcome I received was so warm and friendly! Had a very nice conversation and instantly felt comfortable. Thank you for letting me stay!"
"I loved everything about this property, it's beautifully decorated and has everything you could need. Location was perfect for our trip to Wembley."
"Brilliant! - The apartment is in a central location. The place was very clean and modern. Very comfortable stay & tea & coffee were also provided. There are so many restaurants & bars to choose from. The hosts were very friendly & helpful. I would definitely stay here again!"
"Wembley's best kept secret! Excellent accommodation, beautifully clean and well kept. The welcome, check-in and out, were warm and timely. Nadim was available throughout our stay and responded to requests efficiently. The apartment is literally minutes walk from Wembley Arena and Wembley Stadium. Local convenience store next door. Convenient cost-effective parking available just across the road. A fabulous place to stay - shh! Don't tell anyone!"

Above you see how the images are displayed that represent our Lord.
The photo below here will show you how Obama had it completely
covered up before he would speak!
What the school should of done was say
to Obama-we do not want you here,if you have a problem with Jesus
Christ who died to save your soul from hell!
As you will see near the very bottom
of this page,the full photo,of how beautiful the art work is inside this building and how holy
it appears just in the photo.
Its a wonder Obama did not want the whole wall covered.Strange huh?
He just wanted the cross and symbols of Jesus. He has a huge spiritual problem.
He needs to get on his knees and seek The real God-The true God and stop playing around
with his soul and with our country!
He is in the wrong place by being in the white house,
and he has made it plain he does not feel comfortable with holy surroundings,
They seem to bother him very badly.He had to cover up the cross !
I guess his excuse
would be he did not want to offend anyone.Well,here in America! we are honored
to display Gods symbol.Just goes to show that
Obama is very troubled by the name of Jesus
and the cross.I wonder why?
According to the Church, telltale signs of demonic possession include
Amidst all of the American flags and presidential seals, there
was something missing when President Barack Obama gave an
economic speech at Georgetown University this week -- Jesus.
The White House asked Georgetown to cover a monogram symbolizing
Jesus' name in Gaston Hall, which Obama used for his speech, according to CNSNews.com.
The gold "IHS" monogram inscribed on a pediment in the hall was covered over by
a piece of black-painted plywood, and remained covered
over the next day, CNSNews.com reported.
The Washington Times' Belief Blog asked the university
about the presidential request:
Julie Bataille from the university's press office e-mailed me that the White
House had asked that all university signage and symbols behind the stage in Gaston Hall be covered.
"The White House wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and
drape for the speech, consistent with what they've done for other
policy speeches," she wrote. "Frankly, the pipe and drape wasn't
high enough by itself to fully cover the IHS and cross above the
GU seal and it seemed most respectful to have them covered
so as not to be seen out of context."
"I can't imagine, as the bishops' university and the national university
of the Catholic Church, that we would ever cover up our religious art
or signage for any reason," Mr. Nakas wrote. "Our Catholic faith
is integral to our identity as an institution of higher education."
The very top Banner photo is of the Georgetown University showing the symbols
representing the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord & Savior! with the cross emblem,
Before Obama spoke in this building he ordered the symbols that represent Jesus
be covered completely up and the cross covered up also.
The picture above here
shows how it looked after he ordered it covered up,He needs the help
of God & Jesus Christ! we do not cover up our God and our Lord for nobody!
this makes me mad! really mad! the devil from hell can go right back to where
he came from!
we do not turn our back on our God that has blest this nation!
but we will turn our back on deceivers like Obama.
President Obama and the First Family were planning a "non-religious Christmas,
" according to Social Secretary Desiree Rogers. Ms. Rogers reportedly told a
gathering of former social secretaries that the Obamas did not intend on
putting the Nativity scene on display – a longtime East Room tradition.
The account was reported in the Fashion and Style section of
The New York Times. The White House confirmed to the Times
that there had been internal discussions about making Christmas
more inclusive – but in the end – tradition won out –
and the Nativity scene is once again in its traditional East Room spot.
I just received an email response from the White House for comment.
Here's what the First Lady's office says:
"It has been a part of White House Christmas decorations in the past,
it is on display in the East Room for all to enjoy and it will continue
to be a part of White House Christmas decorations moving forward."
"The President spoke movingly about the scene the crèche depicts
in his remarks at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree last week:
Tonight, we celebrate a story that is as beautiful as it is simple.
The story of a child born far from home to parents guided only
by faith, but who would ultimately spread a message that has
endured for more than 2,000 years – that no matter who we are or where we are from,
we are each called to love one another as brother and sister.
While this story may be a Christian one, its lesson is universal.
It speaks to the hope we share as a people. And it represents a
tradition that we celebrate as a country – a tradition that has come
to represent more than any one holiday or religion, but a season
of brotherhood and generosity to our fellow citizens."
As for whether there had been discussions about "inclusiveness,
" the White House replied, "Discussions about inclusiveness
did not include whether or not to display it but rather how
to display it during the Hannukah party."
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, accused the
president of trying to "neuter" Christmas.
"Unlike almost all Americans—including atheists—the Obamas do not give their
children Christmas gifts. We know this because Barack bragged about this last year
to People magazine. So it should come as no big surprise that he and his wife would
like to neuter Christmas in the White House.
That's their natural step—to ban the public display of
Christian symbols. Have any doubts? Last April, Georgetown University
was ordered to put a drape over the name of Jesus as a condition of the president speaking there.
If the Obamas want to deprive their children of celebrating Christmas,
that is their business. It is the business of the public to hold them
accountable for the way they celebrate Christmas in the White House.
We know one thing for sure: no other administration ever
entertained internal discussions on whether to display a nativity scene in the White House

Yikes. I haven't played with this yet. But I'm telling you, the name a password paradigm we know is just plain dead.
I would really appreciate feedback about this article. Please register to the forum and comment on it! Thanks and use with caution.
The following is an instructional tutorial. I hope to show how easy it is to sniff people's passwords in plain-text form on virtually any wired network. Common applications for this would be on a university, school or otherwise large network. This has only been tested on a Windows machine, but can be used to sniff passwords from any operating system.
Step 1: Download, install and run Cain & Abel at http://www.oxid.it/cain.html
Step 2: Click "Configure" in the top bar.
Step 3: In the "Sniffer" tab, click the adapter which is connected to the network to be sniffed, then click "Apply", then "OK".
Step 4: Click the "Sniffer" tab in the main window.
Step 5: Click the network card in the top bar (2nd icon from the left).
Step 6: Click the "+" button in the top bar.
Step 7: Select "All hosts in my subnet", click "OK". Entries should appear in the main window under the "IP address", "MAC address" and "OUI fingerprint" headings.
Step 8: From the "Sniffer" tab, click "APR" in the bottom tab.
Step 9: Click the top right pane in the main window. Click the "+" button in the top bar.
Step 10: Click on the router in the left pane. The router is generally the entry which has the lowest final IP value (xxx.xxx.xxx.*). Highlight the IP addresses to sniff in the right pane. Click "OK".
Step 11: Click the ARP icon in the top bar (3rd icon from the left). Wait until other users have logged into websites on other computers. Depending on the size of the network and the traffic which this network receives, this can range from minutes to hours.
Step 12: After some time has passed, click "Passwords" in the bottom tab.
Step 13: In the left pane, select the bolded entries. The right pane should show the time, server, username, password (in plaintext) and site accessed.
Please use this tutorial with caution as most private institutions, as well as countries, have strict rules and laws against network sniffing and could lead to expulsion from an institution, as well as critical litigation! This tutorial is for educational purposes only and should only be used to demonstrate the security weaknesses of common networking infrastructures.[/b]

We are putting a much needed hold on homeschooling until all of our curriculum comes in. Since moving to Alabama we havn't quite gotten our groove for school yet. I tried to start school a few weeks back because the girls caught the Back-to-School bug from their friends and cousins. And by nature, I am a planner and organizer. And this idea of just doing school just wasn't working for me! I am taking this week to plan and prepare. Last week, I finally got around to ordering our books and they should be here very soon (I hope!).
I am excited that we found a homeschool co-op group and we are doing classes there on Mondays. In a way, I'm glad I didn't order any books before joining the co-op group because I like what they are doing and using. We are taking the Literature/Craft class and the Astronomy class.
So, here is the line up of curriculum for this school year. I will still use our kindergarten learning goals, too.
Phonics and Reading:
FIAR (Five in a Row)
Ferdinand is the first book and lapbook that we have done at co-op:
Math U See (starting in January)
Until January, we will check off/review concepts on our learning goals list.

A Bean for an Eye: What is Fair Trade Coffee?
Did you know that the word coffee comes from Kaffa, a region in Ethiopia where many people believe coffee beans were initially discovered? Coffee itself has a fascinating history, weaving a story throughout the centuries that includes a strong resistance to the beverage in many cultures as well as prohibition as a forbidden drink in places such as Turkey and Cairo. There are tales that at one time in Turkey, those who were caught drinking coffee a second time—sipping on what millions today drink as a regular morning pick-me-up—were sown into leather bags and thrown into the Bosporus Strait!
From these relatively trying and divisive beginnings, coffee has grown into big business in today's economy: over 500 billion cups of coffee are served daily across the globe. People aren't drown for drinking coffee any longer, but other humanitarian concerns have been raised; this time about the coffee growers and their welfare.
What Is the Fair Trade Movement?
In essence, the idea behind fair trade practices stems from the desire to eradicate exploitation within the international trade community and create avenues for the producers to earn better deals for their products. By increasing fairness in the system and improving overall market access, these practices benefit small farms and their workers, helping improve their lives and future circumstances.
The fair trade movement can be traced all the way back to 1790 with "Free Produce Initiatives" that looked to create a slavery-free fruit and cotton trade. The first fair trade label, Max Havelaar, was created in the Netherlands in 1988 and was soon importing fair trade coffee from Mexico.
To qualify as fair trade, growers must abide by sustainable agricultural methods as well as be organized into "democratically run, farmer-owned cooperatives" which undergo independent inspections. In total, there are 360 of these democratically run farms worldwide, many of which are located in Latin America.
In recent years, demand for fair trade products had grown: In 2011 alone, consumers worldwide spent $6.6 billion on fair trade products such as coffee, tea, cocoa, wine and bananas.
A Fair Trade Landmark
In 1997, Fairtrade International was founded in Germany to organize and unify fair trade organizations worldwide with common standards and labeling. It set forth minimum price requirements for producers within developing regions, giving producers and farmers a "safety net" meant to protect against fluctuations in the marketplace. Under the standards, farmers also receive an additional payment, called a premium, which can be invested in infrastructure, education, environmental or other similar projects in the community. In 2002, this organization introduced fair trade marks, which are used on products that meet Fairtrade Standards.
According to statistics from the Fair Trade Resource Network, there are approximately 1.4 million people involved in these practices in more than 70 countries!
Fairtrade International vs. Fair Trade USA
According to a 2012 article in The Nation, Fairtrade International and its former U.S. affiliate, Fair Trade USA, were at odds regarding a difference in opinion about how the global fair trade system should operate. A sticking point for Fair Trade USA (and a reason that they ended their affiliation with Fairtrade International) revolved around their decision to certify coffee produced by small independent farms and on plantations, going against Fairtrade International's policy of procuring coffee only from democratically run, farmer-owned cooperatives. The issue that's raised is whether or not these small farmer-owned cooperatives will be able to compete successfully against such corporate-sponsored plantations.
Free Trade USA works with a grand total of 740 companies including Whole Foods, Ben & Jerry's, Sam's Club, Costco, Starbucks and Green Mountain Coffee. In 2010, it earned $6.7 million from its certification fees.
How This Affects Labeling
We're now seeing the effects of these differing viewpoints: while there was once only one certification label for fair trade coffee in the U.S. (from Fair Trade USA) there will now be at least four labels, including those from Fair Trade USA, Fair Trade International, Institute for Marketecology (Switzerland) and FUNDEPPO, a Mexico City-based nonprofit.
Many progressive companies in the U.S, including Just Coffee in Madison, Wisc., are bypassing certification measures and simply constructing their own fair trade brands, posting information on pricing and the specific cooperatives they work with on their websites in order to promote transparency. Admittedly, this is further muddying the fair trade waters in the United States. Yet, despite the above-mentioned squabbles and confusion created in trying to figure out how to create a singular, viable fair trade system everyone can agree on, in the end it's about fair wages and rewards for the farmers putting in the work.

Another US False Flag Operation on 9/11 to Elicit a Response
What's Behind the Video Name Change?
Who Really Was Behind the Video?
To tell the truth I could not pass but a few minutes of this extremely ridiculous movie. Immediately I thought that its obvious intention is to deeply insult and enrage the always barbaric and murderous Muslim mobs of the world. Even though it is a fact that Islam is a religion of war, bigotry, pedophilia and all kinds of human-right abuses; and despite the fact that false prophet Mohammed was himself a lying murderous pedophile, who communicated with debukim (demons), none of that is an excuse to produce a movie so filthy and empty of the many hard realities concerning Mohammed and Islam in a cinematographically normal way.
Because of the above I immediately became convinced that the 'Innocense of the Muslim' video is a False Flag Operation of the government of the United States created with the intention of raising the bestial Islamic mobs of the world, thus creating a worldwide version of the Arab Spring 2.0. Now a popular Youtuber with the same impression offers his opinion on the anti-Muslim false flag video that supposedly lead to the mass rape and murder of a US Ambassador and caused widespread rioting throughout the world.
All evidence points to the fact that the release of this movie was absolutely a false flag designed to cause chaos and further divide the populace.
From Youtube Video Description:
UPDATE: Glen Beck reported that the Embassy staff were communicating via a gaming forum!
Go to "DarthF3TT" channel on YT and will notice that out of 11 videos, NINE of them are [Gaming Videos] ONE is the Innocence of Muslims and TWO are about the Embassy Killings. Here is the link!

It's that time of year again. The sun is lingering in the days and the nights are full of frogsong and breeze, the time I get restless and want to get out and date again. I've been thinking a lot about love and where I'm at with that. Because the last few relationships I've been in, it's gotten to a few months and I just can't go farther. I have fun and usually the person is wonderful, but since the phrase "it's not you, it's me" has been deemed as utter bullshit, I'm left with nothing. Actually, it's just that I can usually tell after 3 months or so if I have the potential to love someone and I still can't seem to get there.
And yet, dear god, I love men. Actually, I love people – it's just that I don't usually get a urge to kiss women. Not often. Maybe occasionally. 😉 Mostly men though.
But as much as I need my alone time, I love having companions and friends to do stuff with, to experience this existence with. It's boring without friends. Because life it fleeting, and we never know when it's over. Maybe I have years, maybe I only have days. With my girls, full of luscious youth and eyes white and untainted, I can love absolutely and give everything away because it gives me such fierce joy to give so much, to completely love with abandon. With my girlfriends, they may not even know how much I think about them, how much even the ones that are far away, fill me with smiles when I think of them.
I have a great life. I have only had a few great loves in my life (including my ex-husband, though it ended), but they saw something beautiful in me – a beauty I couldn't believe that I could possess, because how I could I be so sad if I was beautiful and anyway isn't it conceited to think that way? – and yet in their eyes, I could see that they believed it, they believed in me. So now, I try to give that back, even if I don't always know how.
And the great thing is, when I invite people into my life, there is always something totally awesome in them. I may not be everyone's cup of tea and that's okay – I don't want people who don't get me in my life. Go away, you who hate me or whatever, I really don't need you. I need the space you leave to find the people of my tribe, the ones who have been hurt but yet can let go, the ones who know everyone has suffered in someway but it hasn't killed their compassion, as Kahlil Gibran says,
From "On Joy and Sorrow"
Kahlil Gibran
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
This world is full of love and cruelty, joy and sorrow. And yet, what would the meaning of it be if was only one or the other? What would we learn about each other, about ourselves, if it were not so? So tonight, I will be grateful. I don't know my future but I trust in the universe, I trust in existence that it will be okay. That I can love and not be loved in return – or that someone may want more from me than I can give – and it is still all as it should be. Because by following my path, I always find kindred souls alongside, and it makes my soul sing.

- Unreported Judgment
- Appeal Determined (QCA)
CA No 53 of 2018
SC No 1561 of 2017
HARRISON, Justin Douglas Dean
FRASER JA: The applicant was convicted on his plea of guilty of possession of a dangerous drug, methylamphetamine, in excess of two grams. He seeks leave to appeal against the sentence imposed upon him of 18 months imprisonment with a parole release date fixed after six months. The grounds of the application are that the sentence was manifestly excessive and that the sentencing judge placed too great an emphasis on personal deterrence.
Police intercepted the applicant driving from an address known to police. The applicant gave the obviously false explanation that he was in the area because he had picked up a muffler; there was no muffler in the car. The applicant appeared nervous and was fidgeting. Upon a search of the applicant and his car, police found a clipseal bag in the applicant's chest pocket containing four grams of substance, of which 2.6 grams was pure methylamphetamine – a purity of 66.5 per cent. Police also found drug paraphernalia in an Esky, but that is not relevant for present purposes.
When police asked the applicant about the drug and paraphernalia, he offered the obviously false explanation that he did not know they were in his possession. He was arrested and declined to participate in a police interview. The value of the drug was between about $1,300 and $2,600 upon an assumption that a gram was sold for between $500 and $1,000, or between about $1,300 and $2,900 if sold in 0.1 gram amounts for being $50 and $150. The prosecution did not contend that there was a commercial purpose associated with the applicant's possession and the sentencing judge proceeded upon the conclusion that the drug was intended for the applicant's own use.
In relation to the second ground of appeal, the sentencing remarks explain why the sentencing judge regarded personal deterrence as a relevant sentencing factor. The applicant had been punished by fines and, on one occasion, by a sentence of 18 months probation for drug offences on seven occasions between 2009 and 2016. A probation report tendered at the sentence hearing expressed views that the applicant would benefit from interventions in the areas of substance abuse and social support. Although he engaged well in two counselling sessions in early 2015, he continued to use substances and report that his use increased when he experienced stress.
Following positive results to cannabis, methylamphetamine and amphetamine in urinalysis after August 2014, the applicant returned a clear result on 6 March 2015 and reported a brief period of abstinence from substance use in early to mid - 2015, but he subsequently returned to regular substance use. The report states that when the applicant was challenged about his substance use he appeared unmotivated to address it and acted in a blasé manner about it. Later in 2014 and in the middle of 2015, the applicant committed further drug offences and he failed to report as directed in September 2014 and August 2015. He was considered unsuitable for further community based orders following the completion of the period of probation in January 2016. He committed the present offences some four months later.
The sentencing judge accepted that it was to the credit of the applicant that he had not incurred any further drug convictions between May 2016 and when he was sentenced in March 2018, but observed that in the absence of some evidence of attempts at rehabilitation, it was difficult to accede to the submission on behalf of the applicant that he should receive an immediate parole release date. Having regard to the history to which the sentencing judge referred, it was plainly open to the sentencing judge to give some weight to personal deterrence in the sentence.
In relation to the ground of appeal that the sentence was manifestly excessive, it is necessary to consider all of the material circumstances of the offending and the applicant's personal circumstances. The applicant was 30 years old when he committed the offence, so was not entitled to that degree of mitigation usually attracted in sentences of youthful offenders who have not previously been imprisoned. His plea of guilty was a late plea, having been entered after the matter was set down for trial and after the rejection of an application that the evidence produced upon the police search should not be admitted. The plea did not evidence remorse or save the community any time. The evidence that would have been given at trial was, in effect, given during the pre-trial hearing.
In favour of the applicant, the sentencing judge accepted that he had a good work history, he was in current employment, he was well qualified to do the work he was employed to do, and he was regarded by his employer as a reliable and valued employee who would be hard to replace. References spoke highly of him. Counsel for the applicant informed the sentencing judge that the applicant suffered a back injury and then started taking cannabis and subsequently amphetamines.
The applicant has two children, aged six months and four years, who live with their mother from whom the applicant had separated. The sentencing judge was informed that there had been an acrimonious separation and the applicant's former partner and her family had stopped him from seeing his son but the applicant wished to continue to be the father to both children. The applicant's drug use depended upon the pain he suffered, which sometimes could overwhelm him. However, there could be no challenge to the sentencing judge's remark that if the applicant was using this highly dangerous drug simply for pain relief, he was very misguided and needed to address his drug use seriously.
Counsel for the applicant acknowledged at the sentence hearing that the applicant could be sentenced at the higher end of the range of between 12 and 18 months imprisonment, but submitted that the applicant should not be required to serve any actual imprisonment. Such a sentence of 18 months imprisonment with immediate parole was held not to be manifestly excessive in R v Warren [2014] QCA 175. That decision does not establish, though, that even in the same circumstances it would not have been open for the sentencing judge to require that offender to serve some time in custody. The amount of the drug possessed in that case and that offender's personal circumstances have similarities with the present case, but it is a distinguishing factor that that offender's plea of guilty was not said to be late.
In R v Armstrong [2005] QCA 116, the Court set aside a sentence of two and a-half years imprisonment with suspension after 12 months and resentenced the offender to 18 months imprisonment suspended after the nine and a-half month period that offender had spent in custody pending appeal. It was indicated that it also would have been within the sentencing discretion for a sentence to have been imposed which required the offender to serve a lesser period of actual imprisonment. The quantity of drug was similar to the quantity in this case and it was also found to be for that offender's personal use. Some circumstances were more serious, notably, that the offender had a drug history described as "appalling" and he committed the offence in breach of bail and whilst under an intensive correction order for earlier offending. On the other hand, that offender entered an early plea of guilty and was found to have made real efforts towards rehabilitation. In particular, drug testing established that he had been free from drugs for about a year before the sentence. The cases are, therefore, comparable in all of the circumstances I considered. That decision supplies powerful support for the respondent's contention that the sentence in this case is not manifestly excessive.
The sentence is justified, in particular, by the considerations of deterrence and denunciation referred to by R v Warren and also in this case with reference to the relevance of personal deterrence and the weakness of the evidence concerning the applicant's efforts towards rehabilitation.
For these reasons, I would hold that neither ground of the proposed appeal is established. However, the respondent appropriately drew to the Court's attention that there is a mistake in the endorsement on the indictment and the verdict and judgment record. It is appropriate to rectify that mistake by directing the Registrar of the Court to substitute 6 September 2018 for the endorsement 6 November 2018 on the indictment and the verdict and judgment record. I would make those orders and I would order that the application for leave to appeal against sentence should be refused.
GOTTERSON JA: I agree.
ATKINSON J: I agree.
FRASER JA: The orders I have announced are the orders of the Court.

This is a place where "I", the Blind Man in question, can provide reports on my experiences both good and bad out on the range. and experiences in general about the respect and some times disrespect I get from other gun owners who may or may not be disabled themselves. The one thing I have learned very clearly is just like Techs in my field Information Technology, there are even leetests in the Sport of Guns as well.

Wet rot is a fungal 'infection' of timber. It affects the structural strength of timber and it can damage a building.
The wood decay happens when there are high levels of moisture.
There are a number of different types of wet rot fungi including:
· Cellar fungus (Coniophora puteana) usually found in damp basements, under floors and in skirting boards. Causes timber to darken and produce cracking both along and across the grain of the wood. It prefers very damp conditions in areas like basements, leaking roofs and wood floors where there is insufficient ventilation.
· Mine fungus (Poria vaillantii) causes wood to shrink and split into cuboidal sectors. The strands are white, sometimes fern-like.
· Phellinus contiguous bleaches wood, which becomes fibrous and stringy. This is a common type of decay in external joinery timbers such as door and window frames.
Wet rot is likely to be found in areas with high levels of moisture, and bad ventilation.
Areas may include:
· Cellars and basements.
· Timber floors with insufficient ventilation or floor joists connected to masonry which has rising damp or moisture ingress through poor guttering etc.
· Roof timbers where roofing is leaking, or window frames if water is allowed to collect.
· Under or near the washing machine, dishwasher, kitchen sink, bath or shower.
Wet rot will make timber look darker and it will become spongy. If the timber has dried out it will crumble to the touch.
The first action is to check for dampness and causes of dampness or water ingress. A health check of roofing, gutters, windows, rising damp, floors, joists, cellars and basements is advisable.
If you find dampness or wet rot the first action is to identify and resolve the source of the dampness. Peter Cox Ltd can survey your property and advise what steps to take.
Wet rot is not as likely to spread through the building as dry rot, and will not propagate if the source of moisture is removed. The illustrations show how wet rot can spread within a damp area.
Wet rot will cause significant damage over time and it is important that wet rot is dealt with promptly.

Change background color of scores based on result of team for team and match pages
Budget $30-250 USD
I have an excel table of football/soccer matches in a WordPress which I want to manipulate. Objective: I want the center scores bg-color to change on account of the team name and scores from the excel table inside wordpress post. I don't want to store the matches in database. Just paste the table in a post and make it change the colors depending on the outcome of the match.
Example: On team page,
If we are on Arsenal page, you will see a table containing score results of Arsenal against opponents. Scores are at the center but I want the background of the scores to change to red if Arsenal lost that match, yellow if draw and green if they won.
On Match page:
We have results of two teams which are played each other. If Arsenal is playing Wigan then we will have Wigans matches below just like Arsenal above but in this case, we will have for the 2 teams.
This is my idea, if you can help with this please apply. More details in chat if you require.

School of Visual Arts (SVA) is a for-profit art and design college located in Manhattan, New York, founded in 1947. The college is a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design, a consortium of 36 leading art schools in the United States. [3]
SVA offers 11 undergraduate and 22 graduate degree programs, and its stated mission is to provide "undergraduate degree programs in art and design that prepare students for entry into an array of professional fields in or related to the visual arts, while also equipping students with the skills necessary to become productive and thoughtful members of society; rigorous and practice-based graduate programs in the visual arts and its allied fields; a continuing education program intended to meet the diverse needs of New York City's professional art and design community and the larger community within which the college resides; and a commitment to serving the greater good through community service." [4]
SVA was established by co-founders Silas H. Rhodes and Burne Hogarth in 1947, as the Cartoonists and Illustrators School. [5] The school began with three teachers and 35 students, [6] most of whom were World War II veterans who had a large part of their tuition underwritten by U.S. government's G.I. Bill. The college was renamed the School of Visual Arts in 1956. [5] It offered its first degrees in 1972. [7] In 1983, the college introduced its first graduate offering, a Master of Fine Arts in painting, drawing and sculpture. [8]
Today the school has a faculty of more than 1,000 [9] and a student body of over 3,000. [2] [6] The school offers 11 undergraduate and 22 graduate degree programs and is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools [6] [10] and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. [11]
The BFA interior design program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation. [12] The MPS art therapy program is approved by the American Art Therapy Association, [13] and the MA art education program is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation. [14]
The college's logo, seen on its banners, publications and merchandise, was created in 1997 by designer George Tscherny for SVA's 50th anniversary [15] and redesigned in 2013. [6]

Designer and SVA Acting Chairman Milton Glaser produced designs for the theater's interior and exterior, including the sculpture situated atop its marquee. The 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m 2) facility houses two separate auditoriums, one with 265 seats and one with 480, and hosts class meetings, lectures, screenings and other public events. The SVA Theatre has also hosted the red-carpet New York première of Ethan Hawke's The Daybreakers and a diverse list of world premières connected to SVA's educational mission and student interests, ranging from Lucy Liu's 2010 feature documentary Redlight , to the 2011 FOX animated comedy Allen Gregory; and the 2012 film The Hunger Games . Community partners that have used the theater include the Tribeca and GenArt film festivals, Mayor Michael Bloomberg's PlaNYC environmental initiative, and the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting. [31] The theater is also home to the Dusty Film & Animation Festival, held annually since 1990, which showcases the work of emerging filmmakers and animators from the college's BFA Film and Video and BFA Animation programs.

"I am a prisoner. I have been here for 33 days, forced to work for my captors- but I am getting ahead of myself.
"I was brought here to this technophobic place along with over one hundred others from places I do not know. We were promised Disneyland, good food, and fun of all kinds. How was I, at just barely eleven years old, to know to question and balk when everyone else thought it was a good idea?
"The walls are thin, the work is hard, and there is almost no food to eat or water good to drink. I ran once, at the beginning of my captivity, after I realized that we were not going to Disneyland, and candy was not on the menu... I was captured eventually, of course, after a few scuffles, several marginal hiding spots, and lots of running. I was surprised that punishment for running was not harsher, I was simply forced to work alongside everyone else.
"Please get our message out. We are lost here, we want to come home, we hate everything about this place. Send help!"
Three days later, all the prisoners were released. Rumor spread that a message had gotten out, and the captors feared reprisal. Rather than keeping the captives, potentially losing some to illness or accident, all were released and returned to their homes. And those who received the freed slaves were so overjoyed that reprisal efforts were minimal, and nothing came of them. The situation lay dormant for several years.
"Here we are again, but this time we can call out for help sooner. The situation is the same, but now we are all a little older. They could not keep me in captivity here, and I have managed to send out this call after only three days of this horrible place. Please help us again. We are in the Marileth region of the Baltemeres, spread across the wilderness here. There are 114 of us, and I ask that fierce reprisal overtake our captors if any of us die here. I have some crude weapons to defend myself, and fortunately our captors have nothing more complicated, nor overwhelming numbers to enforce their position over me, but survival is difficult here. Please come quickly!"
The captives were returned much more quickly this time, and it was discovered that the slavers had been using an airborne drug in combination with chemicals naturally occurring in certain areas to trick their prey into coming with them. Great reprisal took place, and slavers the world over were given a "shoot on sight" sentence. It was found later that the enslavement had certain positive effects on many of those taken against their will, but everyone agreed that the price was too high, and the potential for lives lost too great.

Once the latest novelties of a great metropolis, the capital's pleasure gardens were a fascinating contradiction – and fell quickly into disrepute. Here are five things you need to know about the Georgian spaces that so inspired our very own Mr. Neill and his creation of July's Marylebone Gin.
1. These were no ordinary gardens
Built in what used to be the outskirts of London – Chelsea, Marylebone and Vauxhall, to name just a few – the pleasure gardens of the 18th and 19th centuries were so much more than picnic spots.
The theme parks of their day, London's pleasure gardens were a riot of activity, music and scandal. Beautifully landscaped with sweeping paths, flowerbeds and even fountains and lakes, they were wonderful for a mid-afternoon stroll. But with hot air balloon rides, cafeterias serving hot and cold food (and booze!), menageries, dance halls and fireworks shows, you could spend a whole raucous weekend in the gated splendour of the pleasure garden.
2. They started free – but didn't stay that way
The Marylebone Pleasure Gardens that inspired Johnny Neill's amazing Gin of the Month started out as a bandstand and two bowling greens down the side of the local pub. Entry was free, even when several acres from a neighbouring estate were bolted on.
Unfortunately, the gardens became a haven of bad behaviour. Soon the garden was better known for the gambling, cock fighting and boxing that took place within its walls than the fruit trees that blossomed on the grounds. So when it was taken over by private concert promoters, the price of entry was immediately whacked up to a sixpence to keep out the 'riff-raff'. Enthusiasts could even purchase a silver-plated annual pass – and peace of mind along with it.
3. Pleasure Gardens were the great melting pots of London
Entry fees may have kept out the real wrong'uns, but pleasure gardens remained one of the most accessible and exciting activities of the era. At just a shilling, entry to the Cremorne Pleasure Gardens in Chelsea was a steal, giving you access to elaborate fountains, a theatre where ballets and burlesques alike were performed, a fairy bower and a banqueting hall.
As such, pleasure gardens were sites for all sorts of people to gather and enjoy themselves. Shopgirls could bat their eyelashes at the sons of the aristocracy during the weekly firework display; great ladies could stroll past the 'Chinese' pagoda beside a postman. The whole of London got to laugh, dance and play in the same space – and, according to French author Francis Wey, the atmosphere was always one of good natured frivolity.
4. They had their dark points – quite literally
While the majority of the gardens were well-lit with glittering lamps and laughter – novelist Tobias Smith wrote that the illuminations and magic lanterns "almost made me feel I was in some enchanted castle or fairy palace" – so-called 'dark walks', where paths snaked off into shadow, were prime hunting ground for predators of all kinds.
Robbers, rapists and other criminals would stake out these dark paths and do their worst. Being attacked in this way was a commonly acknowledged risk of the pleasure gardens – as featured in novels and stories of the time – and was a major contributor to their downfall.
5. London's growth eventually got the better of them
You may wonder at the lack of modern-day pleasure gardens in the current capital, but the demise of these public spaces is a tale as old as time in the Big Smoke. As London spread further out and the population swelled, the pleasure gardens – once on the outskirts – found themselves smack in the centre of the city. It was prime real estate, and they had angry neighbours to contend with.
Sick of the crowds and noise, and frightened by the spectre of criminals haunting the 'dark walks', residents pushed for the pleasure gardens to close. Marylebone Pleasure Gardens shut its gates as early as 1778, and was built over. Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, perhaps the most famous in the country, persisted until the mid-19th century. Today, just a public park remains.
