This past Sunday, Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda held a screening of Mary Poppins at Washington Height's United Palace Theatre. The movie house, built in 1930, is not only a New York City landmark, but holds a special place in Miranda's heart as a native to upper Manhattan.
"This is a jewel box of a theater, especially with the death of the Ziegfeld Theatre," Miranda exclusively told Billboard before stepping on stage to greet 2,500 guests awaiting him in the gilded theater's plush red seats. "This is the last great movie house in Manhattan. We have an opportunity to make this a destination. It's the most incredible theater. Anyone who walks in goes, 'I had no idea this was here.'"

In the past, Miranda hosted a succession of "movie mashups" at the United Palace, and has even brought his critically acclaimed In the Heights musical to its stage for a five-year anniversary performance.
He has also donated $100K to the theater for a new DCP projection system that will achieve Hollywood-quality images for future showings. Miranda's contribution to the fundraising campaign Reawaken Wonder at a Timeless Movie Palace aims to nurture and revive the venue which also serves as a church and cultural center.
For Miranda, a public figure who uses his platform to highlight issues such as the Pulse Orlando shooting, the generous donation was a no-brainer. "I thought, 'How are we not showing movies here?'"
The screening of the original 1964 Mary Poppins was an apt choice since Miranda will begin shooting Disney's musical Mary Poppins Returns in London later this month. His character, a lamplighter named Jack, will be an interpretation of the classic Dick Van Dyke in the reimagined, 20-years-later Disney sequel directed and produced by Rob Marshall (Pirates of the Caribbean). Slated for a 2018 release, Miranda costars with Emily Blunt in the role made famous by Julie Andrews.

The United Palace will continue its Reawaken Wonder fundraiser campaign with a series of events and Indiegogo crowd-sourcing effort to reach all avenues of community support. "I put my money where my mouth is - I went halfsies," Miranda explained to Billboard about his donation. "Hopefully people will put their money in and we'll make this a world class place to watch movies. I want the world to discover it."

On Sunday, an overbooked United Airline from Chicago, Illinois to Louisville, Kentucky had to look for four passengers who would volunteer to take the next flight. While the airline company offered 800 U.S. dollars to each volunteer, no one volunteered to give up their seat. Then, the company selected four through a computer lottery.
One of them, a man who appeared to be of Asian ethnicity identified himself as a medical doctor and refused to get off, saying he needed to be at the hospital the next day to see his patients. United called police officers, who wrestled him out of his seat and dragged him down the aisle by his arms. During the process, the passenger drooled blood after being slammed into an arm rest, with his glasses fallen off. The Associated Press reported that the man claimed he was chosen because he was Chinese.
United Airlines parent United Continental Holdings apologized for the overbooking but explained that United followed the protocol with the forceful removal of the passenger. United's current chief executive, Oscar Munoz, sent an open letter to the company's employees, saying the employees followed established procedures. The letter triggered another controversy as he sounded like defending his employees.
Social media users are blasting United's overreaction and attitude. As the victimized passenger was identified as a 69-year-old doctor of Chinese descent, angry Chinese social media users took to China's top micro-blogging site Sina Weibo to express their anger with the U.S. airline. The incident was top on Weibo on Tuesday, with the hashtag "#United forces passenger off plane." Related news items garnered more than 100 million views in less than a day. Some Internet users called for a boycott of United Airline, posting photos of their membership cards cut in half with scissors. American pop singer Richard Marx also expressed his will to join the boycott.

Where To Buy SARMs Online | List Of My Favourite SARMs Sources
SARMs can be a brilliant alternative to the risks of using anabolic steroids to bulk up and cut fat. They are cheaper, safer, and easier to obtain. But only if you can find pure SARMs for sale from reputable vendors.
In this guide, we're going to explain what defines a high-quality SARM, and how to spot SARMs vendors that only offer the best SARMs for sale.
We will also talk you through some pointers on how to spot the best SARMs company easily, and also places you should completely avoid considering buying SARMs, or any other types of supplement, from.
And you'll also learn the three best SARMs sources I've ever found. It's taken me nearly 6 years to work my way through nearly all the well-known ones, to settle on a list of three who I genuinely trust, and who provide a quality of SARMs whose results have been fantastic for me.
How To Define High-Quality SARMs
The problem with finding what makes a high-quality SARM is that there are no quality standards to go by. Because they are not controlled substances, because they haven't been through proper testing and brought to market, because they are only marketed as research chemicals not for human consumption, buying them is going to be a gamble.
The only way to determine if they work is to try them. Which basically means that your body is the guinea pig for your purchase, and there is no guarantee that what you are buying is actually what you've ordered, or that it's pure. So that's why you need to switch on your Spiderman senses to be able to spot poor quality SARMs from clues that are given.
That's what I learned to do, over several years of experimenting with trying to find the highest quality SARMs I could, from a reputable source.
What I did was to buy the same SARMs from a couple of companies. I tried them over a few cycles and spotted which one's are the best. That then narrowed down my next buying decision to a smaller group of companies, and that way I really got my personal list down to what is basically now a top three.
But that's not easy, keeping a diary, looking at your physical and emotional state daily, and keeping your exercise and diet as constant as possible. So what I've done is get rid of some of the hard work for you, and at the end of this guide, I will tell you what my top three trusted SARMs companies are.
The Risks Of Buying From Poor SARMs Vendors
It may surprise you to read the full list of risks you could be facing if you pick one of the poor quality SARMs vendors out there to buy from. These risks range from the minor, through to pretty serious as I'm hoping you'll now appreciate:
- If the quality of the SARMs is not the highest, then you will not get the most out of it. They could even be completely waste your time, effort and money if they have been poorly stored, or manufactured.
- If they have been poorly made, or aren't exactly what you think they are, then you could be damaging your body and mind in ways you don't realize.
- Some unscrupulous sellers will cut SARMs with other substances to bulk them up. This makes profits higher, just as in the narcotics trade. I dread to think what is being put into cut SARMs, and that's an incredibly good reason to stay clear of people who seem unscrupulous, or who are selling them at a price so low it seems odd.
- I have heard many stories online about companies, or individuals on marketplace sites, offering SARMs for sale that turn out to not be what they were advertised as. So you think you are stacking 2 types of SARMs, only to find you're stacking something completely different.
- The dose won't be accurate. If it's poor quality, cut, or they just don't know what they're selling, then they could be making claims which are completely untrue about the density and purity of the SARMs you are buying.
Avoid These Places To Buy SARMs
Now look, it might actually be obvious to you, but I would recommend you do not buy SARMs from marketplace sites like eBay or Amazon.
The reason for this is that as we've already outlined, you're far more likely to come across SARMs that have been cut, mislabeled, or that are simply very poor quality.
On top of that, there's something called the dropshipping to worry about. This is where they don't even own the stock, they take your order, put your address details into another website who then fulfills the order on their behalf. So these people who are basically middlemen, don't have a damn clue what they are selling to you.
That's why I also wouldn't recommend buying SARMs, or indeed any type of supplement, from Alibaba, or direct from any Chinese supplier. They are notorious for using poor quality ingredients, and not caring about safety. I'm not saying it's all bad, it's not an attack on that nation's manufacturing, but it's a fact that standards are lower. It's more of a risk, and I simply wouldn't take that risk.
Finally, I would definitely not recommend you buy SARMs locally. You're unlikely to find the best SARMs source from a guy down the local gym. Where is he getting it from? Is he cutting it?
It's the same from buying SARMs through a local store. You don't know where they are getting it from, you don't know how much they care, and the chances are they just bought it cheaply online and are selling it on at a higher price.
How To Benchmark The Best SARMs Company
So look, before I tell you my top 3 best SARMs sources, I want to talk to you about how I learned to benchmark companies I was considering buying from. It came down to analyzing them, and looking for clues about the quality as follows:
- Look online at user reviews. Do a bit of Google research and see what people are saying about the company. Avoid the reviews on their own website or anything they can control. Look for honest reviews on third-party websites and forums, that come across as genuine. They will tell you a lot about the quality of the products and the service.
- The best SARMs companies will be proud to display their purity reports from third-party labs right there on the website. Usually, this will be on the product page, and those lab reports will be visible. Watch out for old lab reports, they should be dated within a few months, to show that it's the current batch that's been tested.
- Look at the quality of the website. It doesn't necessarily mean it just looks good, but that it's got depth to it. That it's full of good information, tells you everything you need to know, is in simple language, and has support options. So you know what happens when you buy, and what happens when something goes wrong. They should also take payment properly, not just through some dodgy third-party payment processor, or cryptocurrency only.
- Look for depth of knowledge on the website. Look at the blog, and see how much knowledge it shows. If it feels a bit cookie-cutter, it could be written by someone else, and it could just be all bolted on to make the website look like it's run by experts. Also, look at the language of the website, and any customer support you receive. If it doesn't seem natural language, or it doesn't have any depth of knowledge, it could be they just outsource it to somebody who doesn't care.
- A great way to test a new SARMs seller is to do a small test order. See what actually arrives, see how quickly it arrives, and then test it before you place a proper order. I did this with several companies in the beginning, and that's how I narrowed things down three of the best SARMs sources I'm going to outline you right now.
Where To Buy SARMs Online – My Top 3 Sources
I'm not saying these are the absolute best SARMs companies out there, but they have delivered the highest quality SARMs quickly, and at a good price. They've done this for me time, and time again.
So I'm hoping that these recommendations will at least give you a starting point for your own experiments. If you're still skeptical, do a little test order, and see how you go. There's something for everyone in the three recommendations I'm going to make, in terms of the format of SARMs you can buy, pricing, and the concentrations you are getting for your money.
Umbrella Labs- Sarms For Sale.Com
These guys provide one of the best sets of SARMs I've come across. They are definitely some of the best SARMs on the market, and I can't really recommend them highly enough as one of the better SARMs companies.
Okay, the negative first. Their website is not the best. But that seems to be down to organic development, because if you had the money from scratch, then you would definitely do a better job than this.
But everything is there, and what's there is great quality. Frequently asked questions, an in-depth blog, articles, and detailed information on all the product pages. I think it's just organically developed over time, and yes, I think they could do with a makeover.
But, everything is there, even though it is not well linked to it. Everything about a delivery, all the information you will need. What's disappointing is that they do offer free domestic USA shipping, but that's buried away on the information page, rather than being shouted about on the front page. But sure, they do offer free shipping, which is great.
They sell SARMs in liquid form only. This is easy to take, easy to dose, and convenient. Plus, the concentrations are good for the money as well. Usually around 20 mg/mL. They sell all the main types of SARMs, including the well-known ones like Ostarine, through to ones that people don't rave about as much, like S-23.
To give you an example of pricing and quality, I'll talk to you right now about Testolone (RAD-140). It's the best I've used, and I've used it from three other vendors as well. For $69.99 you get a 30 ml dropper bottle, that's got a concentration of 20 mg/mL.
So that's a great concentration, and a great price for what is going to be at least 30 days supply, and in some cases 60 days supply.
On each product page, they have on display the latest lab-quality test results. In the example I've just given, Testolone, the latest batch report is only a month old, and stated as 98.6% pure by an independent lab you can Google yourself. Very reassuring stuff, and what you need to see to determine reputable SARMs vendors.
So you're getting free domestic delivery within the USA, and they also ship worldwide. Just check the list of countries they ship to before you order, although I'm guessing you will not be able to select destinations they don't ship to.
They take credit cards, PayPal, and Bitcoin. I've ordered several times, and it's been fine every time. It's a proper payment processor, secure, and not some dodgy third-party checkout system.
In my experience Umbrella Labs usually, deliver within the USA in as little as three days. I've never had a problem with delivery, and the results I've had from them have been spectacular.
Swiss Chems
I discovered this company as one of the best SARMs sources not so long back, so I haven't done as many orders from these guys as my other two recommendations. However, what I have ordered has arrived quickly, and been superb quality.
Forget the name, Swiss Chems are based in the USA. Their website is high-quality, and information on it is very good as well. You also get lab reports published on every product page, they are recent ones as well, all showing 100% purity from a verifiable independent lab. It's one of the best SARMs on the market.
Interestingly, they even tell you about the negative side-effects you'll potentially get from some of the SARMs they sell. Although they can be minor, it's interesting that they are being so upfront about things, which is really refreshing.
In terms of pricing, let's look at Testolone again as an example. But the difference here is that Swiss Chems only sell powder capsules of SARMs, not liquid. So it's not a straightforward comparison.
However, in terms of pricing, you'll get 60 capsules for $110. Each capsule contains 10 mg of Testolone. So at an average dose, you're going to need one capsule per day. So you're getting 60 day supply for $110 really.
Now look, capsules are going to be more expensive than loose powder or liquid. They are the ultimate in convenience, and you don't have to dose them at all, you just take the required number of capsules without the worry. For beginners, and if I was starting out with finding the best SARMs source, I'd certainly consider experimenting with capsules as well as liquid.
Swiss Chems don't offer free shipping, but you do get the exact shipping rates domestically on the product pages. My orders arrive in less than a week, usually around three days to be honest. They take all major credit cards, and they take several types of cryptocurrency, which is all done through a third party processor.
Proven Peptides
My third choice for buying high-quality SARMs is the brilliant SARMs vendor, Proven Peptides. Again, they are USA-based, in Orlando, Florida. They've been around for a while, and I've used them a number of times.
You're getting a professional quality website, packed full of information, all relevant, and obviously written by people who know what they are talking about. The product pages themselves also talk about the effects of each type of SARM in detail, which is really good.
Again, they provide independent third-party lab results on the product pages, and they are recently updated and showed 100% purity in all the cases I've ever seen.
They offer all the main types of SARMs, and as an example for price comparison purposes, let's talk about Testolone again. For $74.99 you will get a 30 mL dropper bottle. That's more expensive than the other two recommendations, and the concentration is only 10 mg/mL, so it's not quite so good. However, the quality is great.
However, in terms of dosing, especially for beginners, 10 mg the ideal starting dose per day, which means you not messing around as much to get the correct dose, you can just dose exactly from the number of drops you need each day with ease.
You get free shipping on orders over $75. They also have a refund policy, which is another reason I believe that prices are slightly more expensive. SARMs deteriorate rapidly, and a lot of companies don't allow returns, so I think you are paying a bit more for reassurance.
However, for me, it's never been a problem with any of these three recommended SARMs companies. Whenever I've been looking for high-quality SARMs for sale, these guys have always come up well in impartial reviews, and in my own experiences as well.

Draft decree offers more benefits to strategic investors in SOEs
Updated: 11:32' - 07/04/2017
Strategic investors would be allowed to sell their shares in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) within three years after such SOEs are equitized.
Such is a new provision in a draft decree, which has been prepared by the Ministry of Finance (MoF) to replace Decree No. 59 issued in 2011, Decree No. 189 in 2013, and Decree No. 116 in 2015, on transformation of wholly state-owned enterprises into joint-stock companies.
According to Dang Quyet Tien, deputy director of the MoF's Department of Corporate Finance, under current regulations, strategic investors are obliged to provide resources as committed and the time limit to sell their shares after SOE equitization is five years.
Such requirements have reduced interests and benefits of strategic investors, Tien said.
Moreover, the sale of shares in SOEs to strategic investors, who are selected by the Steering Committees for Equitization, through agreements reached before initial public offerings may result in loss of state capital in such enterprises due to the lack of transparency and publicity, Tien added.
To address the problem, the future regulation reduces the time limit to three years, allows strategic investors to buy SOEs' shares only after the enterprises complete their initial public offerings, and requires such investors to operate at a profit for two consecutive years by the time of registration for share purchase.
It also clarifies the compensation responsibility of strategic investors for breaching their commitments, and requires these investors to make written compensation commitments.
In addition, the draft decree allows laborers named on the list of regular employees of an equitized enterprise, including also those working in subsidiary companies of which parent companies hold 100 percent of charter capital (level-II enterprises), who have not been eligible for purchasing preferential shares at any other joint-stock companies to purchase shares at preferential prices.
Specifically, they may purchase at most 100 shares per year of actually working in the state sector at the price equal to 60 percent of the unit price of VND 10,000 per share.
Under the current regulation, employees of subsidiary companies of SOEs are not allowed to buy shares of their parent ones. Meanwhile, the price an employee has to pay for a preferential share is equal to 60 percent of the lowest successful bid offered by a strategic investor, which may turn out a loss when the share price goes down to below 60 percent of the bid after the equitization. This regulation would help employees get higher benefits when purchasing shares in equitized SOEs, Tien said.-

Author: 20thcenturyvole
Nominator: Yeade
2009 Award Category: Genres: Crossover - Third Place
Story Type: Story ✧ Length: Short Story
Rating: General ✧ Reason for Rating: N/A
Summary: It seemed to Shadowfax that the only constants in his life were swords and apples, and tall, robed people holding sticks. [Lord of the Rings/Discworld]
Reviewed by: Thundera Tiger ✧ Score: 10
I remember reading this story when it first came out, and above almost all else, I remember loving the opening line. I still do. It sets the tone for the entire story. Shadowfax's point of view is vividly rendered, and it is full of horse-sense (which I say partly for lack of a better term and partly because I like the pun). Better still, it's horse-sense in a Discworld context, and that's one of the things that really makes the Discworld tick. As crazy and inane as the rest of creation seems to be, there's always one or two characters who have a firm grasp of what's going on and seem to now exactly why the rest of the world is crazy. Usually, Death is one of these characters, but when Death tries to humanize himself, that role is often given to Susan or Granny Weatherwax or Rincewind. Or, in this case, Shadowfax. I love the explanation of where Death's Binky came from, and I love even more how "Binky" came by that name. I'm surprised Eowyn survived. And I love the character of Death. He is perfectly in keeping with his characterization in the Discworld series, and Binky (formerly Shadowfax) is such a good match for him. Hilarious little crossover that perfectly blends the two series and adds a healthy dollop of Discworld humor to the mix.
Reviewed by: Larner ✧ Score: 6
Ah--two of my favorite worlds beautifully brought together--Terry Pratchett's Discworld and Tolkien's Arda--and brought together so very well, at that! It is time for Shadowfax to go to his reward, and so Death is sent to fetch him. Shadowfax, however, is not favorably impressed by Death's mount, however--not that Death is particularly happy with it, either. No, he's had to do too many repairs, it would seem. But now that Shadowfax is shuffling off his mortal coil it appears that perhaps he might have found a new rider, one who happens to like the name first granted to the future Lord of the Mearhas by a very young Eowyn.... Truly a delight, particularly as I also have managed to introduce some of the characters from Discworld into Arda.... A joy to read!
Reviewed by: Clodia ✧ Score: 5
This is hilarious, the perfect final fate of Shadowfax / background for Binky. Death is entirely in character; I love the little noises as he attempts to wire his skeletal mount back together. Shadowfax/Binkys vague curiosity is very nicely done, and I love the idea of Eowyn as a foal bestowing the name Binky on him, much to his own disgust. And that is an excellent 'random example': Ive always thought that Snowmane was rather a silly name for a Fierce Charger myself. Shadowfaxs willingness to put up with a silly name for the sake of apples is a glorious punchline!
Reviewed by: Ignoble Bard ✧ Score: 5
I was scrolling through the author's list and I have to admit I clicked on this one because of the author's name, expecting perhaps a Monty Python style fic. While I don't know a flying fishbone about Discworld, I still appreciated the writing style of this story about Shadowfax and his brush, and ultimate partnership, with death. I particularly liked the line toward the end about racing the light, very fitting for Middle-earth's swiftest steed. A fun, funny little story with nicely written details and a cute characterization of Shadowfax.
Reviewed by: Nath ✧ Score: 4
MWUAAHHH!! Ahem... That was too funny, and yes, the author's intro is right, it does make sense; an oddly twisted kind of sense, but still sense. Middle-earth and the Discworld are perhaps not the first themes that come to mind for a cross-over, but this one is just about right (and extremely funny). Death is very much in character, and Shadowfax is suitably horse-y. I won't refer to every line that had me laughing, for that would quote about ninety percent of the story, but the origin of the name Binky is priceless.
Reviewed by: curiouswombat ✧ Score: 4
Such a wonderful little cross-over. I wonder why it had never occurred to me before - the similarity between Binky and Shadowfax? And, of course that would have been Éowyn's name for him - it explains everything. So much more sensible than a skeleton horse, too. I really enjoyed this, and would recommend reading it to anyone looking for a gentle and amusing way to spend a spare five minutes.
Reviewed by: Clotho123 ✧ Score: 4
I've been trying hard to find this story again, but couldn't remember the title so it was great to find it here. Binky will forever be Shadowfax to me now, the horsey point of view is very convincing and Death is spot on. Of course after meeting the Nazgul being Death's horse isn't about to worry Shadowfax, even if he does have to put up with a silly name to get the apples.
Reviewed by: WendWriter ✧ Score: 3
Brilliant! Brilliant, and very clever. Few people can pull off a convincing crossover, and you've done just that. I'm very impressed, and wish you all the best in the MEFAs. Well done!
Reviewed by: crowdaughter ✧ Score: 3
This is a lovely crossover, and the most astonishing thing about it is that it works so well. Hilarious and fitting. And now we finally know how Death's horse got its name, too! Thank you for writing and sharing!
Reviewed by: Dreamflower ✧ Score: 3
Oh, this was just too, too funny! A crossover featuring one of my favorite Discworld characters...DEATH is so sweet and vulnerable and implacable! I love Shadowfax's cynical reaction to his situation-- his disgust at hearing himself addressed by his baby name, and his very horsy reaction to the enticement he's offered... Apples, indeed!
Reviewed by: Virtuella ✧ Score: 2
Shadowfax is Binky? Hahaha, what a great idea! Always good to see Death. And the last line was very amusing indeed.
Reviewed by: Linda Hoyland ✧ Score: 2
A story both touching and amusing about the death of Shadowfax.I like to think of the great horse's spirit happily galloping over the fields of Valinor.

Based on the comments at the site I'm missing some nuance of the Binky nickname but I still think it's hilarious. And Shadowfax becoming Pegasus in the sky was a nice touch.

The federal government is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether Hobby Lobby and a Christian bookstore chain have to provide a wide range of birth control options for workers as part of the federal health care law.
The 251-page appeal was filed Thursday.
The Oklahoma businesses have operated under a court order that allows them to avoid fines while they challenge a portion of the new law requiring them to provide the coverage.
Company attorneys object to offering such plans based on religious grounds.
U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton in July granted the Hobby Lobby craft store chain and Mardel Christian bookstore, its sister company, a temporary exemption from a requirement that it provide insurance coverage for morning-after pills, similar emergency birth control methods and intrauterine devices.
Government lawyers intend to fight a court order that lets Hobby Lobby and the Mardel Christian bookstore chain avoid fines while they challenge a portion of the new federal health care law requiring them to provide a wide range of birth control options for its workers.
Lawyers for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services filed a notice in federal court this week saying it would appeal. Heaton had given the government an Oct. 1 deadline.
Lawyers for the companies' owners, the Green family, say following all provisions of the new federal health care law would either violate their religious beliefs or cost them millions of dollars in fines. The Green family believes life begins at conception; emergency birth control methods and the IUD prevent fertilized eggs from implantation. The company's insurance plans do offer 16 other forms of birth control mentioned in the federal health care act.
Heaton last November rejected companies' request to block the birth-control mandate. He reconsidered his decision after the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the companies were likely to prevail in the case. Heaton ruled in June that the company would not be subject to fines of up to $1.3 million a day for not offering the birth control methods.
Kyle Duncan, Hobby Lobby's lead attorney, has argued that requiring the company to comply with the mandate would be a burden to religious exercise. A DHS lawyer, Michelle Bennett, said an injunction could create a burden for Hobby Lobby's 13,000 employees and members of their families who would be denied coverage for the emergency contraceptives.
When he handed down his ruling in July, Heaton said he was surprised the 10th Circuit seemed to extend a person's constitutional religious exercise rights to a business but said the injunction should be granted in the public interest so courts could resolve "substantial unanswered questions."
The government filed its notice Tuesday.

Auer Dult
Three times a year
The Auer Dult is held three times a year on the square around Mariahilf church and is beside of the Viktualienmarkt one of Munich's oldest markets. The name "Dult" is derived from an old German word meaning "observance". It takes place three times a year. Learn more...
Jumble sale and entertainment
Nowadays it is one of the major seasonal events in the city: its largest jumble sale and a unique place which you can search for rarities and curiosities from the old days. About 300 stands offer rare books and old prints, haberdashery goods, natural hair and skin care, or Europe's largest selection of china and cooking equipment. Many an authentic traditional garment, be it lederhose or dirndl, has been found here; and if you are lucky, you might find a real treasure.
Children rather appreciate horseback riding, the puppet show, the merry-go-rounds, one of which features a historic organ; teenagers are probably more interested in a ride on the bumper cars or in testing their skills at shooting galleries. Acrobats and clowns entertain all generations just like in the old days.
After all the searching and entertainment, there is nothing like a good, savoury lunch. There are plenty of stalls selling fresh food and drinks: beer, but also fruit juices and fresh coffee, which all go well with traditional Bavarian snacks such as fish-on-a-stick, barbecued sausages and chicken. You'll also find caramelised almonds and plenty of candy.

History of the fair
It was orginially a fair in connection with an ecclesiastical celebration, attracting junk dealers, quacks and performers. The meaning of the word, however, changed over the centuries, and today it simply means "fair". "Auer" refers to its location in Munich's borough "Au".
These type of fairs have a long tradition in Munich. They were mentioned for the first time in 1310; in 1796, the Electoral Prince Karl Theodor granted the suburb Au the right to hold a fair twice a year, and since those days there have been "Dulten" regularly. Since 1905, there have been three such fairs a year on Mariahilfplatz.

A precursor to Sex and the City, this fast-paced comedy is a buddy story about two single women during the late eighties, when the sexual revolution had hit a definite snag. Lucy Lewis loves men, being single, and playing the field; she is a successful career woman and a "fast girl." Her neighbor Abigail McBride seeks a suitable husband and is definitely desperate, declaring that she realized, too late, that "high standards and loneliness are one and the same thing." Lucy's mother Mitzi comes to town to convince Lucy that she has GOT to settle down before it's too late. She sends over Lucy's ex-boyfriend Sidney to seal the deal. In one of the funniest second acts in theater history, Lucy pretends to cook for Sidney and be a "good girl" to show him how ridiculous it is; but the charade backfires.

Looking at the NAM and GFS forecasts for tomorrow, things look absolutely done for.
I'll continue to watch this system however, as the dynamics themselves warrant it. Large amounts of early morning convection are the culprit for putting a damper on the tornado chances with this system in the northern sector. Our biggest hope, is that this is being slightly over forecast, and that with the rapid deepening of the cyclone most of the early waa precipitation is quickly lifted northeastward out of the potential target area.
If this scenario is realized, I think northern Missouri would warrant some attention. Just ahead of the surface low and near the warm front, low-level shear profiles would lend themselves towards updraft rotation. Should early day convection be lifted out of the area soon enough, and some insolation can occur a broken line of supercells across northern Missouri southward does not seem unreasonable. The Chillicothe, Missouri area would not be a bad place to be in this scenario.
Just hard to accept a 500mb prog like this would go to waste.
Of course, this is hoping for a lot and going largely against what model data is showing. I think it warrants careful observation through tomorrow morning, however.

Telegram the ever popular encrypted messaging app is in the works to debut both its own blockchain and cryptocurrency – this is according to close sources. The blockchain platform will either be called "The Open Network" or "Telegram Open Network" (TON) and from privileged sources, it is to be based on an improved and upgraded version of Blockchain technology.
Hints of this were given just a couple of days ago by Anton Rozenberg who is a former employee of Telegram's publishing division, Telegraph. Anton in a Facebook video post claimed that the video was an advertorial for the new platform; he however stopped short of disclosing the source of the video. The video makes mention of the possibilities for users to effect money transfers and execute transactions within the app.
It is learned that the resultant cryptocurrency of the new Blockchain platform TON will be called "Gram" and it will be natively integrated with several widely used messaging apps. Light wallets are expected to be used which means users will not have to download complex, dense and cumbersome Blockchain.
With an already existing user base of over 180 million, the opportunities for this Blockchain and cryptocurrency seem enormous. Also, it will likely not have to bootstrap and this is a deviation from the trajectory of most apps and platforms of this nature.

What will be in 2019? Local psychics make their predictions
When the clock struck midnight on Tuesday, almost everyone I knew eagerly welcomed 2019 with open arms and full glasses. The others were indifferent in celebrating the coming of yet another new year. From a change in leadership in the House of Representatives and hurricanes that tore through North Carolina; to the loss of loved ones, beloved celebrities, and creation of new artwork and the birth of new life, 2018 was full of the surprises. To better prepare for this year, I asked some local psychics their predictions for 2019. (Note that these predictions cannot be backed up as fact by any science and we are not promoting them as such. However, just for fun, here are four local psychics' predictions and advice for 2019.)
Antonina Whaples, Shaman at Kindred Spirits
Whaples describes herself as a Shaman, Winston-Salem native and graduate of Wake Forest University. She said she was born in a family lineage of Shamans, and she has been running Kindred Spirits (537 N. Trade St.) for seven years.
"My mother's mother survived the Holocaust, and she came over to America in the 1950s," Whaples said of her roots. "It is very common for Shamans to be born into families that have gifts when there has been the type of trauma that has happened with my family."
Locally, Whaples said there would be movement happening quickly in a large way for the Winston-Salem area.
"A lot of projects at higher levels within government organizations are going to speed up, and we are going to see the abundance that comes from that as an area. It looks like businesses, in general, are going to receive good news and so will any community endeavors that have been working hard over the past few years."
She said all this hard work would come into fruition, and this area will be more prosperous from it in 2019. She also predicts for Winston-Salem that there would be more job opportunities, political shifts, and building expansions.
"People who have been struggling with their place in this community will find community spaces that have been created. [They will] opened up to them and discover those places and receive healing from the community," she said. "It also looks like tensions among the community and older models of communication are going to end, and there is going to be some cohesion found between individuals on different socioeconomic levels, specifically around education."
Whaples said there is much work that will be happening for veterans in the community, and there would be new opportunities for them to find new patterns, resources, and "put down some of the struggles they have had coming into the civilian world."
Whaples said we will continue to be in a state of imbalance (both emotionally and financially) as a country. She said the nation would continue to be divided among "individuals trying to figure out how to move ahead collectively and to work together, while also having incredibly different values and understanding of ideas around the financial prosperity of our nation." Whaples said there is going to be a reset happening. She said a victory of one of the parties will free-up financial resources for the nation and will be led by an individual who has new ideas about how things should work economically. Which, she said, would shed light on "our collective views around our cultural heritage and people's places within the financial structure."
"I went into a council meeting with some other medicine people over the last few weeks, and we have been talking about this," she said of where her reading of 2019 originated. "So, this is based on discussions amongst medicine people. This is based on various readings that have been done over the last few months. As the energy of 2018 leaves, we see it more clearly because it is contrasting with 2019's energy."
Whaples said 2019 is the preparation and intention-setting year, "for the real show;" she said [2019] is the "dress rehearsal for 2020."
"It is an important year to set up positive energy for what you want to come in the future," she said.
She said the significance of 2019 being a year for preparation is because "hindsight is 2020. [2020] will be a year of illumination and clarity," she said.
In 2019, Kindred Spirits will be offering a monthly Hochoka circle, which is a meeting of individuals "to do healing work around specific healing requests," such as people struggling with grief, survivors of sexual assaults, and people who have post-traumatic stress disorder.

Jaye Stevens, Psychic at Psychic on Trade
Stevens said she has been a palm reader, astrologer, fortune teller, medium, and chakra healer for over 30 years and has been open at the Psychic on Trade shop (619 N. Trade St.) since Sept. 28, 2018. She said Psychic on Trade also offers various classes, metaphysical tools, and Raki treatment. Stevens said she has lived in Winston-Salem for 29 years and loves to help and give people foresight and insight into yes or no questions.
"It is not so much of what I predict and more of what I see," she said. "The Piedmont is becoming more predominately open-minded, more than they have ever known."
She said for 2019 locally; she sees people taking hold of their hometowns, and creating their own businesses. She said people would go to a "back-to-the-basics" and "homegrown" approach for 2019. She said she could see people flocking to North Carolina from all over including California and Washington. She predicts that the wine industry will expand in the Piedmont. She said she could also see the banking industry "getting their act together." When asked about what 2019 will bring politically, she said she "will not touch that with a 10-foot pole," because she is "not a political person."
Stevens's advice for 2019 is "to look for happiness and be true to yourself."
For the new year, Stevens said she is offering 50 percent off tarot card readings for the whole month of January, and she will be doing a full and new moon tarot card reading. For more information, call Psychic on Trade at (336) 414-7448 or stop by the shop.
Jennifer Watson, Psychic at Terra Blue
Watson describes herself as a clairvoyant, tarot reader, and a practicing Hoodoo witch.
Watson said she is originally from Greensboro but left to go to college in Atlanta and just moved back three years ago. She said she went to school for psychology and ended up getting her Master's in transpersonal psychology with a specialization in spiritual psychology. After working in sales and fundraising, Watson started her own business, Watson Wellness Group, LLC, and also does readings at Terra Blue (518 S. Elm St.).
"The whole focus of my business is to help other people not only recognize their own intuition but also to help people understand how energy works, especially in their own lives and what is going on around them."
Watson said she realized at the age of 13 that she was psychic, and decided that she wanted to help others using her abilities. As for her predictions for 2019, she said she channeled information and did some readings with tarot cards.
"Overall, for the entire year, it is going to be really a lot of major financial transformation, not necessarily just individually but everywhere," she said. "Many people are going to be forced to stop procrastinating, especially in our national government."
She said our representatives and leaders would start honoring their promises and commitments to the people. She also said everything culminating behind the scenes would be "put out there," and 2019 would be a time for truth for everyone, especially those in government.
Regarding the weather, she predicts that there will be more snow to come to this area in January, much like what we saw in December 2018. However, she said there would be an early spring in March.
"It will be like a rebirth period for us," she said. "It will be a complete rebirth for a lot of people."
She said there is a wave coming that would hit certain spots at different times during the rebirth period.
"We are going to see new kinds of initiatives [around the city] being picked up that's almost going to spark this awakening period," she said. "Something that is holistically-grounded and that we haven't seen before. It is things that have actually been going on and planned in the background, but we won't be able to see it until then."
Watson said 2019 is a "Three Year," in terms of numerology.
"The number three means people will begin their journey to personal happiness, but before happiness takes place you have to remove the clutter," she explained.
During our phone conversation, Watson picked tarot cards from a Major Arcana deck and also channeled what each month will be like for 2019.
January-Queen of Swords
Watson said she predicts that January-March would be a time of transformation. January is the month to declutter and make room for happiness and the transformations to come.
February-Nine of Swords
Watson said concerning world events; things would go into a downward spiral, especially since people started out the year with so much energy and optimism. "In government, we are going to see stuff happen that looks horrible to the naked eye," she said. "I also think the economy is going to crash around that time. But many people have to understand that it is temporary, and to be prepared for it. But don't get stuck in the chaos that goes on around it." She said that the awakening period would start in February.
March-Knight of Swords
Watson said in March, unexpected events and things would start "happening out of nowhere." She said it would be a continuance of what is happening in February, but many are going to come to an awakening. She said they would start to understand and handle life in a different way and get back to optimism. "Interestingly enough, Italy came up as taking some kind of stand," she said. "They are going to take a stand on something and lead the way for change, and the rest of the world will take notice."
April-Two of Wands
Watson said this month would be where the "real work" begins. She said people would start to reflect and review what has happened so far this year and re-evaluate events. She said new things would emerge and happen for the better, and that the government would change. "The vice president and president show up here," she said. "Something is going to happen in the U.S. government."
May-Page of Wands
She said in May, there would not be too much going on "because June is when the real fun starts." She said when channeling, she sees a woman who is in leadership (not necessarily in government) and France. "There is a French woman who is head of the International Monetary Fund," she said. "But I don't know if it is her or someone else that is coming up."
June- Five of Wands
In June, she said there would be a major turn of events for the world. "I almost want to say it is possibly war," she said. "There's going to be some kind of international deal or the like thereof, and something going on around economic news." She said the theme of the month is going to be financial security, defending beliefs, and emotions running high. "But at the end, it changes for the better."
July-The Emperor
Watson said there would be a change in leadership in July and August. "Not necessarily national, but it is not going to be the people that leave," she said. "I just feel like the whole overall feel of our government is going to change. This is important because the major events will cause this change."
August-The King of Wands
She said things would become brighter and better. "The sunshine will peek in at the end of August."
September- Two of Pentacles
Watson said there would be a continuance of a world shift and the energy of change would continue. She said it would be slight, but that people who are open to it would see. She said it would be quiet this month.
October- Knight of Wands
She said people would start to settle in their new selves and feel more powerful. She said people would start feeling better after everything that has gone on.
November- Strength
Watson described this month as "light and airy." She said the year would begin to release intense energy this month from all the past months.
December- Knight of Cups
She said December would be emotional for people because of the events and energy of November. She said everything would calm down and settle into an understanding of what has taken place. "It'll be a time where people can either reflect and allow themselves to really breathe, or take it and go the opposite way. It is going to be emotional, that is for sure."
Watson also did a tarot reading for major events that will happen in 2019.
"Ironically enough, there were a couple of cards that came out," she said, explaining that these cards dealt with the government. "One card that really stuck out was the Justice card. And then I added the card that showed me any kind of significant world event and the Justice card came out again. What that tells me is, especially as we go forward into election season for the 2020 year, the election results are going to shock us. It reminds me almost of the same kind of energy that surrounded Obama when he came into office. It will be that type of shocking result."
Watson's advice for 2019 is for people to "take note of what they want."
"Write it down, get focused," she said. "Take the time to do what you always wanted to do because this year is going to help support that. To get that done, you have to take the step first."
Watson said she hosts a live broadcast every Thursday night on Facebook called the Psychic Corner, gives virtual readings and readings in person at Terra Blue on Friday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. To learn more about her, visit jenniferlwatson.com/.
"Madame Melinda" Walcer, Tarot Reader at Terra Blue
Walcer describes herself as a tarot reader and medium, who has been doing readings for 33 years. She said she discovered her abilities when she was 15 and has been doing readings ever since. She said she has been reading at Terra Blue for 16 years and is considered the head psychic at the shop. She said she has a 78 percent accuracy rating, and she believes in tarot readings because she has seen it work.
Walcer predicts that generally, 2019 will be uneventful besides what has been already happening since 2018. She also predicts that politically, "nothing special will be happening other than the sensationalism that has been going on." Walcer did an over-the-phone tarot reading using The Wolf Pack Tarot Deck (created by Robert Petro in 1995 and illustrated by Pat Morris), which she said, is one of her more accurate decks because it tells stories. Her three-card spread for politics in 2019 was the Children card, Choices card, and Self-Reliance card.
"Everyone will be acting like children, the way they have been acting, but then again it will give us a new perspective moving forward," she said of her political prediction. "It will open up choices presented to us as a country in leadership and what professionals we want moving forward." She said this would foster self-reliance because "this presidency is getting ready to end."
Her three-card spread nationally was the Caution card, Guidance card, and Intent card. As a country, Walcer predicts that the United States will be watched more on the world's stage. She said other countries would be offering guidance on how to move forward and reform, specifically in monetary terms.
"I don't see any major attacks or anything like that coming up, I see a pretty boring year," she predicted of 2019.
Globally, she drew the Cycles card, Crossroads card, and the Famine card.
"There is a saying that there is nothing new under the sun, and if you watch the global cycle you will see that what is going on has happened before," she said. "The world is coming to a crossroads that everyone needs to be more practical rather than emotional."
She said, "we are watching the fall of Rome again," and that people would have to be ready to rebuild, which will not be coming in 2019.
For North Carolina, she drew the Completion card, Outcome card, and Decision card.
"There is a lot of opportunity and success coming up for North Carolina because we are going to start learning from other states," she said. "We are going to have a feeling of self-satisfaction, we are going to start to see North Carolina get itself together." She said there had been lessons learned concerning healthcare and education in the state. She said the results of those lessons would present rewards in 2019. For Greensboro, she drew the Turbulence card, Be Alert card, and The Well card. She said while Greensboro seems to be on a decent path, in the next eight months, "they just need to ride out the choices that they already made." She said people need to pay attention to the details within a "jealous and dishonest" local government.
Her three-card spread for advice in 2019 was the Truth card, Danger card, and the Risk card. She advises people to be true to themselves, make more logical (rather than emotional) choices, and to not take big risks in 2019.
To learn more about Walcer, visit her Facebook page Madame Melinda Tarot or Madame Melinda Creations. Madame Melinda does readings at Terra Blue on Fridays from 1 until 6 p.m. (and until 9 p.m. on First Fridays) and on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Global Compact on Refugees: How is this different from the migrants' pact and how will it help people forced to flee?
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The terms 'refugee' and 'migrant' have been used interchangeably to describe the millions of people worldwide that are either fleeing conflict or seeking better living conditions. As the United Nations sets out to secure global compacts to better protect them, it's critical to understand the differences between the two.
A new international agreement to forge a stronger, fairer response to large refugee movements known as the Global Compact on Refugees is expected to be endorsed by members of the UN General Assembly on Monday, 17 December to provide greater support for those fleeing their homelands, and for the countries that take them in, which are often among the poorest in the world.
It's designed to provide a robust and systematic model to improve the lives of refugees and their host communities following two years of intensive consultations – which may sound familiar to anyone who has been following the progress of the global migration pact ( formally known as the Global Compact for Safe, orderly and Regular Migration) which was formally adopted in Marrakech last Monday, 10 December 2018.
UN News has put together this guide to explain the key difference between migrant and refugee status, and the differences between the two UN-backed compacts that are designed to improve the lives of everybody on the move.
We just heard the global compact on migration has recently been adopted. Why do we need another deal?
The New York Declaration that was adopted in September 2016 gave birth to two compacts: one on refugees and one on migrants. Although both are groups of people who live outside of their countries of origin, there are crucial distinctions between the terms "refugee" and "migrant."
Both agreements are voluntary in nature, and not legally binding instruments.
What's the difference between a migrant and a refugee?
Refugees are persons who are outside their country of origin for reasons of feared persecution, conflict, generalized violence, or other circumstances that have seriously disturbed public order and, as a result, require international protection. The refugee definition can be found in the 1951 Convention and regional refugee instruments, as well as the Statute of the United Nations High Commisioner for Refugees.
While there is no formal legal definition of an international migrant, most experts agree that an international migrant is someone who changes his or her country of usual residence, irrespective of the reason for migration or legal status. Generally, a distinction is made between short-term or temporary migration, covering movements with a duration between three and 12 months, and long-term or permanent migration, referring to a change of country of residence for a duration of one year or more.
"I'm a migrant but didn't have to risk my life on a leaky boat or pay traffickers. Safe migration cannot be limited to the global elite", United Nations Secretary General António Guterres said.
Does this mean the Refugee Convention is not fit for purpose?
The compact builds upon, not replaces, the existing international legal system for refugees – including the 1951 Refugee Convention and other international legal instruments on refugee, human rights and humanitarian law.
"The Refugee Convention focuses on rights of refugees and obligations of States, but it does not deal with international cooperation writ large. And that's what the global compact seeks to address", explained the UN refugee agency's (UNHCR) Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Volker Türk.
