This is a subject that many of you have probably never given much thought. But one thing about knowledge is that it is better to have it, and not need it… than it is to need it and not have it. So, here is a quick guide to the things you might need to know before shipping your car.
The first thing you need to think about is the distance that you are traveling. If it is only a short distance away, you would not be wise to use a shipping service. This kind of service is intended for cross-country or overseas transport. Driving your car from California to Georgia (for instance), would cost a lot when you think about fuel, lodging, food, time spent away from work, to say nothing of the risk of having an accident. It's much easier and cheaper to ship a vehicle for a trip of this length.
You will need to carefully consider the company that you hire to ship your vehicle. If you are shipping a particularly rare or valuable car, this is even more important. Your vehicle represents a fairly large investment, and you don't want to trust just anyone with it. As far as automobile transporters go, I recommend direct express auto transport. They have a good record for results and a solid customer service record as well. You can check here to find out a little more about them.
You will probably have several options for the way in which your car will be shipped. You can simply have it put onto the carrier as is or covered with a protective barrier. As you might guess, the difference is the price. If you want your vehicle covered, it can actually cost a lot more. You should also have a higher-security option that involves transporting the car in a closed trailer. That will, of course, be more expensive. However, it is the only good option when shipping an antique car, a show car, or anything else that must be preserved at all costs.
Before you turn your car over, you have some work to do. Do a thorough inspection of the vehicle, both inside and outside. Take pictures as you go, and make sure they are time stamped. You can also hire a professional inspector who will check out every part of the vehicle and present you with proof of the inspection. This is done simply to cover your bases if something goes wrong.
Along that same line of thought, you should also let your insurance company know what you are doing and make yourself aware of any policies they may have. Most insurance carriers will cover this kind of damage as long as there is proof of them having occurred after the vehicle was turned over, but you still want to make sure.
And finally, make sure you don't get too impatient. Remember, you are ordering a car, not a pizza. I only mention this because you will wear down your nerves and drive yourself crazy.

New Delhi: The CBI on Tuesday told a court that it can further investigate the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case in which it had filed a closure report and given a clean chit to Congress leader Jagdish Tytler.
The Central Bureau of Investigation's statement came while replying to an application filed by the Shiromani Akali Dal where the party told the court that it will provide the addresses of three material witnesses.
The probe agency in its reply said it was prepared to investigate the matter further on the court's permission.
The CBI had earlier informed the court that these witnesses were not traceable.
The court on October 30 reserved its order on deciding on the closure report filed in a riots case against Tytler.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Saurabh Pratap Singh Laler, who was scheduled to pass the order on Tuesday, was on leave.
The court has fixed December 3 to decide on the closure report and other applications filed in the case.
Advocate H.S. Phoolka, appearing for victim/complainant Lakhvinder Kaur, whose husband Badal Singh was killed during the riots, said that in view of the seriousness of the offence, the court should not accept the closure report.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Kaur against the CBI's closure report — its third — giving a clean chit to Tytler for his alleged role in the violence.
Phoolka said the CBI's investigation was "faulty, tainted, dishonest and perfunctory".
Earlier, the agency gave a clean chit to the Congress leader twice.
In April 2013, a sessions court rejected a closure report and ordered the agency to further investigate the killings.
The CBI did that but filed another closure report on December 24, 2014, saying there was no sufficient evidence to proceed against Tytler.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
Director: Luv Ranjan
Cast: Omkar Kapoor, Sunny Nijjar, Kartik Aaryan, Nushrat Bharucha, Sonalli Sehgal and Ishita Sharma
Rating: 3/5
Pyaar Ka Pucnchnama 2 hits the theater on Friday, directed by Luv Ranjan. While the film is a misogyny , story of three boys making fool of themselves in love is an instant hit and Rajjo's (Kartik Aaryan) monologue towards the end remains one of the oft-quoted dialogues by men when they want to 'bitch' about women.
So what is going to be there in the sequel ? Is it going to be funny ? Does it all comes out as anti-women ?
While the answers to the above questions is 'Yes'.Same like the first film , the sequel is of three boys who fall in love and the women take advantages of them and whims their fancies. But this sequel is more funny or might say hilarious compared to the first one. While watching the movie one might ignore the anti-women part.
The story as well as the plot twists are almost like those of the first film. Instead of making a story (after this one), they could have simply shown the same three boys and their (silly thinking or behavior) four years ahead in life instead of giving them new names, making them into new characters. Once again, the three men who are well-settled in their jobs fall in love with three (appearing to be) different kinds of women only to be get fooled by them in differnt various ways. It is, however, a tightly-knit story with the perfect conversations for a comedy film that leaves the audience in splits.
From (making prejudiced mental pictures) engineers as boring to girls as stupid and dumb, all the jokes in the movie might be a little offensive to some but they certainly are describable/familiar. In one of the sequences, Kartik has a tough time driving his girlfriend and her friends from a beauty parlour. Why the tough time? Because judging whose nails look better and (presenting oneself/asking/standing in a showy and fake way) for selfies with everyone in the four-seater car are only a few of the things he needs to juggle as he drives on a busy Delhi road! This was one of the rare scenes where joke seemed a little too much of a (statement that says that something is much bigger, worse, etc., than it really is). But most of the silly mistakes shown in women can be seen in real life too: Not every woman 'uses' her boyfriend for his money or as a domestic help for parents, but there certainly are such women as much as there are such men in real life.
We bring you the example or a scene from the movie, for the awaited fans of Rajjo's monologue, while in this film the monologue is more funny and a little big. Here's the sample, "Bribe is an institution started by women because what they give in bribe never ends! But why do we bear them for its sake? Isse to accha apne haath se shadi kar lo!"
All of them fits perfectly in their roles, whether it is the actor or the female leads. The boys effortlessly depict what men often discuss during boys' talk and the girls play dumb as and when the character demands.
This film was made on a small budget of 9 Cr. We expect it to be a good sleeper hit. One may have good fun watching this movie for the weekend. Our verdict, you won't regret it.

Women Inspiring Strength and Hope (W.I.S.H.) brings together the community's most dynamic and inspiring women to enhance the mission of Make-A-Wish Utah through networking, mentoring and fundraising.
As a W.I.S.H. Society member, you will have a direct impact on families of children battling critical illnesses. This year, Make-A-Wish Utah is granting a record-high number of wishes; however, for every wish granted another is waiting. Our goal as a society is to serve an additional 20 wish families this year.
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. When a child learns they can have a wish come true, they begin a journey that replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. Many health professionals agree that the wish experience works in concert with medicine to help children build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness.
Quarterly W.I.S.H. Society events include networking opportunities such as keynotes from professional guest speakers, recognition events, fundraising opportunities, and the chance to surprise a wish child with the news that their wish will be coming true. Meet-ups alternate between breakfast, lunch, and evening hors d'oeuvres. Additionally, members of W.I.S.H. will receive a quarterly mission update from the Make-A-Wish CEO, a directory of like-minded women who have passion for giving and the opportunity to help grant wishes. All members are invited to pay a quarterly due that will be used to grant life-changing wishes.
All members are invited to pay an annual due (payable quarterly) that will be used to grant life-changing wishes.

Tens of thousands of homes supported by Housing Zone funding
The Housing Zones will see councils working in partnership with private developers to deliver thousands of new homes on brownfield land.
- next stage in flagship Housing Zones programme to build thousands more homes
- up to 28 Housing Zones will deliver up to 45,000 homes for families and first-time buyers.
- first 19 Housing Zones share more than £6 million to deliver up to 34,000 homes
- part of the government's ambition to deliver a million homes by 2020 and open the door to aspiring homeowners
Housing Zones around the country are receiving funding that will kick-start work to build tens of thousands of new homes.
Nearly £6.3 million is being distributed to help revive brownfield sites across the country and deliver thousands of homes for hard-working families and first-time buyers.
The funding, which comes on top of a £1.2 billion Starter Home Fund designed to prepare brownfield sites for at least 30,000 new homes, will be used to speed up work, enabling homes to be delivered quickly.
Councils will receive the lions' share of the money to help with work in 19 out of the 20 flagship Housing Zones, which are a new approach to getting new homes built easily and quickly.
The 20 Housing Zones, spread across the country, will see councils working in partnership with private developers to deliver thousands of new homes on brownfield land.
See a map of the Housing Zones
On top of this, the government is also committing to work with an additional 8 short listed potential Zones.
Together these have the potential to deliver 45,000 new homes.
Housing Minister Brandon Lewis said:
"Housing Zones offer enormous potential to use brownfield land for new homes which is why this government is determined to get them built out as soon as possible.
This funding will play an important part in getting work underway which will lead to new homes and more security for aspiring homeowners."
Britain is building again with the number of new homes up 25% in the past year and these zones will play an important part in giving an extra million people the chance to achieve their dream of home ownership.
The areas receiving funding are:
|Local Authority
|Housing Zone
|Resource Grant
|Guilford Borough Council
|Slyfield Area Regeneration
|Hertsmere Borough Council
|Elstree Way Corridor
|Thurrock Council
|Gedling Borough Council
|Gedling Colliery
|West Lindsey District Council
|Greater Gainsborough
|Stoke-on-Trent City Council
|Stoke City Centre
|Derby City Council
|Derby City
|Gateshead Council
|Exemplar Neighbourhood
|City of York Council
|York Central
|Wakefield Council
|Aire River
|Preston City Council
|North Somerset Council
|East Hampshire District Council
|Whitehill & Bordon
|Gloucester City Council
|Gloucester City
|Bath & North East Somerset Council
|Sedgemoor District Council
|Bristol City Council
|South Bristol
|Tewkesbury Borough Council
|Poole Borough Council
|Poole Powerstation
The remaining £740,000 from the fund will be used to provide specialist technical support to the Zones.
Yesterday's announcement comes as the government presses ahead with its landmark Housing and Planning Bill to give aspiring homeowners the security of home ownership and build more homes across the country.
Measures include:
- new affordable Starter Homes – a new legal duty will be placed on councils to guarantee the delivery of Starter Homes on all reasonably sized new development sites, and to promote the delivery of Starter Homes in their area
- permission in principle for sites identified in plans and brownfield registers – to give certainty around the sites that are suitable for housing, while protecting the green belt
- planning reforms to support small builders – requiring councils to ensure they have shovel ready plots to match the local demand for custom build
Further information
20 Housing Zones were designated at Budget in March 2015.
Together with 8 short listed potential Zones, the Housing Zones have the potential to deliver 45,000 homes.

We are using proprietary deep learning on vast sets of different data to assess where could be possible price bands of resistance for cryptocurrencies. For many excellent past cases of achieving high returns with BittsBands see our blog posts at http://www.bittsanalytics.com/blog/category/bittsbands/
Several days ago we wrote about how one could use BittsBands to make great return on Aeternity when the price was around 2.1 USD:
#Aeternity up 20% on encountering weak BittsBands. Read more about $AE rally at our blog: https://t.co/KpiIHyS0ir pic.twitter.com/tCqbaZ1Yfk
— Bittsanalytics (@bittsanalytics) April 24, 2018
What we also noted at the time was the relatively weak resistance bands above 2.1 USD, see chart from that tweet:
In this situation a rally through 3 USD and much higher would seem much more easier. This is indeed what has happened in the last days with the price now reaching 5 USD for a return of 138% in less than a week.
If you want to include these deep learned data in your cryptocurrency analysis you can find it at our BittsAnalytics platform: www.bittsanalytics.com.. Platform also has a lot of other advanced data such as social media analytics and chart patterns automatically detected with AI as well as sophisticated analytical tools.

LA LOCHE, Sask. - The member of Parliament for a northern Saskatchewan community where four people were killed in a shooting last winter says virtually no additional resources have been brought in to help people cope.
In January, two brothers were killed in a home before a teacher and a teacher's aide were shot at the high school in La Loche. Seven others at the school were wounded.
A teenage boy, who can't be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder.
He was to appear in court Monday. The Crown has served notice that it wants the accused teen sentenced as an adult if he's convicted.
There's a First Nation near La Loche and the community has a large aboriginal presence, but it is not on a reserve, so Health Canada says the province is responsible for providing mental-health support.
But New Democrat MP Georgina Jolibois says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau raised expectations when he visited the area and she suggests help shouldn't be hindered by jurisdictional boundaries.
Jolibois says people in La Loche are showing signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. They're frustrated with having to repeat their stories to mental-health workers who visit and residents would like permanent, consistent support instead.
"Even at the high school, the people coming in are not the same people who are coming in (every time), and so the youth or the staff or others may not necessarily feel confident now that they'll get the assistance," said Jolibois.
"Sharing their stories over and over again doesn't mean anything. They need assistance, the right appropriate skills-based assistance, to help them move beyond (and) continue on with their daily activities and function with their daily lives."
Jolibois said young people and families seem to be struggling the most.
Health Canada said in an email to The Canadian Press that it continues to provide mental-health supports through the Meadow Lake Tribal Council to the nearby Clearwater River Dene Nation and is working with it to develop a long-term response and recovery plan following the shooting.
The Northern Lights School Division has six counsellors until the end of the term and says one will be available through the La Loche Friendship Centre over the summer.
The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health says there are two mental-health counsellors and two addictions workers that reside in and provide counselling services to La Loche. There are also three regional trauma counsellors who provide assistance and support when needed.
It says an additional community mental-health nurse is to start providing counselling services this month through the friendship centre.
The health region is also to hire a suicide prevention and community wellness worker who is to be based out of the centre.
Jolibois doesn't question the number of positions, but suggests they're not all staffed, so service is piecemeal.
"The health region has had a struggle in filling the positions for the required numbers," she said.
"There's been virtually no movement in those areas. Residents require assistance and virtually there is very little to none available.
"The families are really struggling in the community."

Herschel instruments are 'good to go'
Herschel's three scientific instruments have passed their functional tests and are 'good to go'. This marks another milestone in the steady progress being made in preparing the satellite for launch.
All three of Herschel's instruments, the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE), the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) and the Heterodyne Instrument for the Far Infrared (HIFI), underwent short functional tests to verify the health of the instruments after transport to the launch site in Kourou.
All instruments performed flawlessly and passed their pre-launch test reviews.
The next time we hear from them will be a few days after launch when they will be switched on one-by-one as part of the payload check out process.
Everything in its place
The instrument checks followed the completion of checks of the mechanical stability of the satellite. Engineers carried out alignment tests by measuring relative and absolute positions of a number of elements using reference cubes. The elements measured were mostly those which protrude from the body of the satellite for example, the cryostat nozzles, thrusters, sun acquisition sensor, attitude anomaly detector and the telescope mounting structure. The stability of all of these elements was verified during the tests.
Checks with the launcher adapter
After these alignment tests, engineers carried out a fit check of the Ariane 5 launcher adapter and verified that all mechanical and electrical connections between the adapter and the satellite worked perfectly. The launcher adapter is a lightweight metal cylinder, 0.32 m high and 2.624 m in diameter, that is used to fix the satellite to the launch vehicle.
The adapter connects Herschel to the top of the Sylda, a protective cover under which Planck will be installed. The electrical connections between Herschel and the adapter will allow to monitor and command the satellite from the time of integration with the launcher until liftoff, and will also facilitate monitoring of the cryogenic status.
Outer thermal protection completed
After completion of the mechanical checks, most of the final pieces of multi-layer insulation were placed on the satellite to complete the external thermal protection.

The IEEE has approved a new standard for IEEE 1394, introducing support for faster data transfers, marking a significant improvement for the serial bus interface.
The new IEEE 1394-2008 specification will introduce support for S1600 (1.6 GB/s) and S3200 (3.2 GB/s). It will be fully backward compatible with previous ports, S400 and S800.
Many older FireWire and i.Link devices are still running on the old specification, which tops out at 400 Mb/s, due to a connector design change when the 800 Mb/s spec was introduced.
With the new faster speeds, available starting in October, IEEE 1394 will remain competitive with the upcoming USB 3.0, which will upgrade to 4.8 GB/s.

Beowulf and the Critics
The other day I got a tip that copies of Beowulf and the Critics are selling at used book sites for well over $100.00. 'What's up with that?' I thought. I bought a few copies in September and sold them at A Long-Expected Party. Now I wish I had some extra ones in the basement to sell.
It turns out that even the super-expanded print run we did of Beowulf and the Critics has finally sold out. So the book is right now out of print. Hence the high prices (and those of you who bought B&C at ALEP -- whatta bahgain!).
But I've been in touch with the publisher, and we are going to reprint, so don't worry. The question we're working on right now is whether or not to do a paperback and whether or not to do a revised edition. I have discovered some errors that it would be good to correct, and there's a little new scholarship available (some by me, much more by Wayne Hammond and Christina Scull) that could be relevant.
So only pay those ridiculous prices if you need the book for research in the next few months. Though I guess that if we do a new edition, that will make those old ones a more collectible first editions (there are two printings; the first print run was only 300 copies, and there are two different covers, one with a little banner). Argh! Why didn't I keep more than my personal copy and one in the display case at work?

I have a copy of the book - but it is a third printing (so stated, copyright 2005). Looks like the book is quite popular! I look forward to a revised edition, as well.

JealousyTuesday, November 28th, 2006
I think jealousy can be a powerfully constructive emotion.
While left unchecked it can destroy you, yet funneled into positivity it can drive you to greater things in life. It can be part of the fuel for your fire that causes you to strive to be better.
Or you can let it consume you and grind you to floor, powerless to do anything but hate those around you.
In this case I will take the latter.
I am jealous of people that get 2 capital letters in their last name.
Fuck them.
I only have 1 capital letter in my last name and it pisses me off. I think I am important enough for 2. Sadly I'm not Italian, Irish, or Scottish, so I don't get it.
People with the following last names can officially fuck off;
This is not a complete list, just a starting point. If you have 2 capital letters in your last name I hate you and wish all the bad things in the world happen to you and you only.
So there you go.
There are probably other things in life I could be jealous about, but none of them share the importance of this issue.

Customer segmentation is an efficient marketing tool, but it won't deliver long-term sales results. Capturing attention and share of wallet from today's tech-savvy travelers requires a more personalized approach.
There is universal agreement across the hospitality industry that customer segmentation is an efficient and resourceful way to market to guests.
Regardless of how you label your individual segments—corporate, leisure, meeting, bleisure, etc.—looking at guests based on usage habits, demographics and transactional data is a baseline of your sales and marketing strategy. No doubt you also track preferences, past behaviors, social media engagement, et al. to inform who you target with what message.
It's a good approach, but it won't deliver long-term results that impact sales.
Capturing the attention of today's tech-savvy travelers requires a more dynamic, personalized approach. Right message plus right time plus right channel needs to be informed by the right data points. Just as mobile and voice technology have reshaped your guest's decision-making journey, the data coming in from those sources needs to reframe the way you think about and communicate with traditional market segments. Digging deeper to uncover need states, interests and preferences—and layering that on top of demographics, behavior and engagement data—will give you the information you need to intercept guests at precise micro moments that influence their purchase decisions.
Google reports that 72% of travelers who research with their smartphones are looking for the most relevant information, regardless of the source. In other words, they're more loyal to their need than to a particular hotel brand. This means you need to continuously earn your guests' consideration in those key micro moments.
Reframing your targeting to meet guests on their terms will not only drive consideration, it will increase conversion by demonstrating how relevant you are to their needs. Here are four ways to enhance your data-driven approach.
Identify the micro moments from your data that uniquely fit your business, then leverage platforms such as Hulu and Philo to predictively deliver a relevant and impactful experience for your guests. Use of contextual marketing for audiences interacting with streaming TV content is a powerful way to deliver alternative creative, enticing users to click and view additional video content on your site.
Help win hearts and minds of guests by inspiring them to get more out of their travel experiences. Use technology and geo-specific content when guests are in-market: Send passes to the putt-putt course if it's a cloudy day on the beach; push reminders to book tee times as guests land in the area; or invite them to a local event you know they will enjoy.
Guests today demand solutions that drive their ability to build and control their on-site experiences across all your channels and platforms. In the past few years, this has been widely used to deliver guest preferences ahead of their stay such as pillow offerings or room selection via a mobile app. Millennial travelers view personalized experiences as a baseline expectation when choosing their favorite travel brands. Time to up the game and allow guests to control the temperature in their rooms via an app, or stream content on the in-room TVs.
Leverage your data to enhance and expand your engagement with consumers across channels. Use digital pre-roll, display and paid social to leverage your campaign videos and drive engagement by inviting people to discover their perfect vacation or to choose which vacation type they'd like to see. The data captured will help drive optimization and retargeting as the campaign progresses.
There is nothing more constant in our industry today than change. The seismic shift in how guests plan travel requires a disruptive focus on their decision-making journey and experience. When you start looking at guests as they see themselves—as dynamic, multidimensional travelers, rather than segmented audiences—you will begin to capture the important micro moments that influence purchase decisions.

GAPYEONG, July 21 (Korea Bizwire) – Chinese government officials from Shandong Province are visiting Petite France, a French-inspired cultural village located in Gapyeong County, Korea, to learn about and experience its tourism marketing strategies.
A total of 50 officials already visited Petite France on July 10, and 450 more will be visiting the area in turn before October. Shandong Province has been sending its officials overseas to educate them about tourism strategies, and help them experience successful tourism precedents.
The 50 who visited the village learned the history of the village's development and the success stories of its management of the attraction. They were also introduced to various tourism resources in the Gyeonggi Province area.
Petite France is Korea's one and only French culture village, consisting of over a dozen French-inspired buildings and offering visitors the chance to experience French food, clothing, and household culture. The village was part of the set for hit K-drama My Love from the Star, which aired from December 2013 to February 2014, and it has since been one of the most visited tourist attractions in Korea, attracting at least 500,000 Chinese visitors annually. The village was more recently introduced on China's nation-wide variety show, 'Hurry Up, Brother'.
"We'll focus our efforts on overseas marketing, and will continue to strengthen our village's content," said Han Hong-sup, the CEO of Petite France. "We'll be more active in promoting the village in Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, which tend to have more individual travelers (than China's group tourists)."
Established in 2008, Petite France covers an area of 117,357m2 and overlooks Cheongpyeong Lake, providing visitors with the feeling of a European coastal village in the Mediterranean. To mark its eighth anniversary, the village plans to expand its infrastructure to encompass a public information hall, an experience hall for European clothing, and a museum for model vehicles and trains.

People today are always looking for an effective face skin treatment for anti aging to help them get vibrant and younger looking skin. Day spas are a great place to relax, pamper yourself and always feeling vibrant and refreshed after a day at a day spa. There are many day spas that can help with the aging of the skin on your face and also the entire body.
It seems now that more men are going to day spas as well to get a facial skin treatment as they also want to look their best and also to retain their youth.
Having a facial is very effective in slowing down the aging process as it can help moisturize the skin and prevent dryness from occurring. It can also remove trapped oil,dirt and remove dead skin from the face.
When you get a facial, your face feels very soft to the touch and can also reduce the aging of the skin. You can also get deep massage facials which can tone and firm the skin on the face, which is also very relaxing.
Microdermabrasion has also become quite popular as it can smooth out the skin and give you a more youthful appearance. These type of facial treatments can be done by a dermatologist and are very safe to do.
Benefits Of A Face Skin Treatment For Anti Aging
Aging skin will occur when we get older and there is nothing we can do to prevent this from happening. Our skin cell renew much slower and our skin has less elasticity and collagen which results in sagging tissues and also fine lines or wrinkles.
Micro derma brasion has the ability to stimulate the skin which can minimize your facial lines or wrinkles on the face.
You can get more than just a facial skin treatment at a day spa such as manicures,pedicures and also body massages that can improve the look of your skin all over your body. By doing a body treatment regularly, you will feel more relaxed and your skin will be very soft.
Argan Oil Anti Aging Benefits
Argan oil has been shown to be very effective in slowing down the aging process and it is also very gentle to the skin.
No matter what skin type you have, argan oil can help improve your skin when used regularly.
The reason why I like using argan oil is that it is a powerful antioxidant.
By applying a skin cream or lotion regularly you can help get rid of free radicals in the body which are the main cause of damage to the cells as well as premature aging.
This natural oil has many important vitamins such as vitamin E and essential fatty acids.
If you want a natural facial treatment for your skin, argan oil is a great option and it can also moisturize your skin especially if you suffer from dry skin.
Every person today deserves to take a little time out for themselves and get pampered at the same time. It is also important to look after your skin, which is why day spas are a great option to choose when you want to get a face skin treatment for anti aging.
You can easily find day spas who offer a package which includes a facial and massage, which can save you money as well.

Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Here, the countries of Honduras (left), Nicaragua (center-right) and Costa Rica (bottom right) are lightly dotted by clouds.
Nicaragua is the largest state in Central America with an area of 130,000 km2, about the size of England. The country falls within the tropics and is bordered by Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south.
The Pacific Ocean lies to the west of the country, the Caribbean Sea to the east. The large body of water in the southern part of the country is Lake Nicaragua.
Geographically, Nicaragua is made up of three main regions: the Pacific Lowlands, the North-Central Highlands and the Atlantic Lowlands. The Pacific Lowlands are located in the west of the country, and consist of a broad, hot, fertile plain.
The North-Central Highlands are an upland region away from the Pacific coast, with a cooler climate than the Pacific Lowlands.
Finally, the Atlantic lowlands are a large rainforest region, irrigated by several large rivers and very sparsely populated.
To the northeast of Nicaragua is Honduras, with an area of just over 110,000 km². It is bordered to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea.
The Honduran climate varies from tropical in the lowlands to temperate in the mountains. The central and southern regions are relatively hotter and less humid than the northern coast.
Costa Rica lies south of Nicaragua, located on the Central American Isthmus and comprising a land area of 51,100 square kilometers (19,730 sq. mi). It borders both the Caribbean Sea (to the east) and the North Pacific Ocean (to the west), with a total of 1,290 kilometers (802 mi) of coastline.
Costa Rica protects 23% of its national territory within the Protected Areas system. It also possesses the greatest density of species in the world.

This includes Women, Minorities, Seniors, GLBT and People with Disabilities. Our award-winning staff has over 10 years experience in diversity recruitment. The Diversity Career Fairs are held Annually in most major cities where the Mayor and/or Governor proclaim "Diversity Employment Day". We have over 1,000 satisfied corporate, government and non-profit clients. The Federal Government selected us as a preferred vendor to host it's largest Diversity Career Fair ever!
14th Annual Diversity Employment Day Career Fair(s)
(To View the 2014 Schedule Click Here!)
Annual Diversity Employment Day Career Fairs (DED) – Thirty will be held in most major cities throughout America in 2014. Traditionally the Mayor, Governor or Local Board of County Supervisors proclaim the day by Proclamation or Resolution. The primary focus of the DED Career Fair is to provide an opportunity for nationally recognized and Top Local employers to meet and interview qualified candidates from the multicultural and diverse communities of their city. The average candidate attendance ranges between 900-1500. The median candidate has 3-5 years work experience and a college degree. Many are recent veterans with state of the art career related skills and are bilingual. The DED Career Fairs start at 11AM and concluded at 3PM.
The Co-host of the DED Career Fairs is the Diversity Recruiter's Network.org that on the morning of the career fairs hosts a Diversity Roundtable exclusively for the employers, professional and community based organizations, Diversity Partners, and the Media. It includes a Continental Breakfast a Diversity Spirit Achievement Awards Ceremony and Key Learning Speakers. Recent Key Learning Speakers have included Pacific Gas & Electric's Chief Diversity Officer, Coca-Cola Refreshments Director of Talent Acquisition, Cisco System's Chief Inclusion and Collaboration Strategist, Kaiser Permanente's Director of Workforce Planning and Development, the OFCCP and EEOC. Local Professional Chapters of Human Resources along with Professional and Community Based Organizations regularly sponsor and participate. Among them are, local SHRM Associations, NCHRA, SAHRA, NBMBA,SWE, NSHMBA, NAAAP, WMBA, NAACP, UL, ALPFA, BDPA, and many more. A high percentage of these organizations members attended and support our recruitment events. Every DED Career Fair and co-locate Industry & Candidate Specific Pavilion are support by our huge recruitment advertisement campaign that includes: Television, Radio, Internet Postings, Targeted Invitiations to Professional Affinity Groups, Press Releases, Media Interviews, Diversity Partners Collateral Promos, National and local Magazines, Newspapers and Business Journals and more. Plus we also heavily promote our recruitment career fairs and events by using the Media Outlets unique to the multicultural and diverse communities.
Featured Pavilions
ADA-People with Disabilities & Diversity Pavilion
High-Tech & Diversity Pavilion
Healthcare & Diversity Pavilion
Government & Diversity Pavilion
Professional & Community Based Organizations Pavilion
Many of our Annual Diversity Employment Day Career Fairs include one or more Industry & Candidate Specific Pavilions co-located within the career fair venue. These featured Pavilons add additional and enhanced focus upon multicultural and diverse candidates within a specific industry or candidate qualification. This unique recruitment event platform creates a greater synergy due to the local grouping of industry specific employers. Thus, the most qualified candidates are now greatly attracted and basically self- compelled to justify the opportunity to interview with a relevant industry specific grouping of employers. Many of our Pavilions are city and industry specific. The cities with the greatest concentration of industry professionals typically yield the highest recruitment rate. For example we have a High Tech and Diversity Pavilion co-located within our Silicon Valley (Santa Clara/San Jose, CA) Diversity Employment Day Career Fair. Likewise, we co-locate our Government Top Secret/ Security Clearance and Diversity Pavilion within our Metro Washington, DC DED Career Fair for the greatest potential yield of qualified candidates.

Beyonce paid her respects for the lives lost in Turkey during a planned military coup.
Beyonce paid her respects for the lives lost in Turkey during a planned military coup.
Turkish officials tell the BBC nearly 8,000 police officers were suspended on suspicion of having links to the coup attempt over the weekend. The plan of action against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan resulted in 265 deaths and over 1,400 injured.
Beyonce, who has dedicated her song "Halo" in recent times the victims lost in the Nice attack, police officers in Dallas, the LGBT men and women killed in Orlando or victims of police brutality, dedicated her angelic tune to Turkey.
This song is about love," the "Sorry" singer said. "I want to dedicate it to all the lives lost in Turkey. Y'all help me sing tonight."

Shortly after the foundation of the Institute, a library was created to provide the appropriate literature and documents to support the activities of the Institute.
Over the years, the library has gradually increased its resources, not only through its own acquisitions but also through donations from other international organisations concerned with humanitarian problems, such as, the United Nations, UNHCR, UNOHCHR, UNESCO, COE, OSCE, and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, particularly the ICRC. In addition, the library has an expanding collection of videos, DVDs and CDs for didactic purposes, and numerous periodicals.
The library has a tradition of welcoming researchers from all over the world. Inters usually find place in the library and during their stay they become involved in various research projects, previously agreed upon, as well as in the organisation of the Institute's activities. All have benefited from their experience in the Institute's library whether their stay has lasted a day, a month or 6 months.
The library is open weekdays from 09.00 to 17.00 and is run on a "consultation only" basis, although facilities are available for a limited amount of photocopying. For any further information regarding documents or visits to the library please contact Ms Shirley Morren at email@example.com

"Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare."
"If you could get all the people in an organisation rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition at any time." - CEO
Traditionally this would have come under the banner of Team Development and fallen within the remit of Organisational Development. Team coaching is quite different though and it has emerged as a result of individual coaching having seen exponential growth in the last 20 years.
"Systemic team coaching is a process by which a team coach works with a whole team, both when they are together and when they are apart, in order to help them improve both their collective performance and how they work together and also how they develop their collective leadership to more effectively engage with all their key stakeholder groups to jointly transform their wider business." - Peter Hawkins, Leadership Team Coaching
Team development used to be taught by experts, based on theories and case studies and cognitively orientated. Systemic Team coaching looks at the real challenges they are facing, the relationships within the team, the effect that ripples out to the wider organisation based on the team culture and it exposes what is really going on, it names the elephant in the room and it builds a stronger and more authentic and effective team based on their experience.
Team coaching may not be for the faint hearted but the results speak for themselves.
If you would like to talk to us about how team coaching could help you or your organisation, please contact us and we will be happy to meet for a coffee and a chat, talk on Skype or on the phone.

?Nathaniel Chalobah has revealed he harbours no grudge towards Antonio Conte despite the Italian's decision to bring in Tiemoue Bakayoko instead of giving him a chance at Chelsea.
The midfielder opted to join Watford this summer after he declined the offer of a new contract to remain with the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
In quotes published by ?football.london, Chalobah was asked why he decided a fresh start with the Hornets was for the best and the 22-year-old admitted that, whilst he understood Conte wanted a more experienced man in the middle of the park, he couldn't wait around to develop his game with more players ahead of him in the pecking order.
He said: "As obvious as it is, it's a difficult one at the end of the day. I wouldn't want to compare myself with him. I don't know what he's [Conte] said about me and him.
"Fair play to Bakayoko who he has brought in, he must be a good player – I'm not doubting that.
"The experience thing is obviously the biggest part of any decision really these days for managers and I think if he's had the experience then fair play. Here's my chance to come out and get experience.
Nathaniel Chalobah on why he joined Watford: "Chelsea offered a contract but it was a decision I had to make after being on loan six times." pic.twitter.com/cJYchl9OjR
— Squawka News (@SquawkaNews) August 8, 2017
"It's not about proving anyone wrong. It's about working myself and helping the team out and seeing what I can do."
Ex-Monaco star Bakayoko rocked up in west London after he completed a £40m transfer from Ligue 1 to the Premier League as Conte eyed midfield reinforcements ahead of a gruelling 2017/18 campaign.
Nathaniel Chalobah had a great potential to be a star @ChelseaFC but it was against our traditions to use home grown talent#ChelseaFC
— Bilal Rana (@Bilal6655) August 8, 2017
The 48-year-old will, however, have to do without Chalobah's services after he completed his own £5m switch to Hertfordshire.
The Chelsea academy product featured 15 times for the Premier League champions' first-team during his career, but he also had to endure six loan spells away from his parent club – including one such temporary switch to Watford – as he struggled to break into the team on a regular basis.
" contenteditable="false">
Former Chelsea player Ray Wilkins had expressed his surprise at Conte not giving the likes of Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek a chance in his team, but the pair must now contend with learning their trade at Watford and on loan at Crystal Palace respectively.

Fans of DC were treated to Justice League Dark dropping on home video this week, and hot off its heels is the trailer for the next feature-length animated film. Fans of DC's younger heroes are in for a treat as the next film to drop will be Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.
Devil's in the Details
The title of the film already tells us a fair bit about what kind of threats the team with will dealing with. Based on the Judas Contract storyline from the comics of the 1980's, DC people will have a idea of what to expect already, but for the sake of new blood joining the fandom through the current generation of animation, we won't spoil who the 'Judas' ends up being. DC/WB animation has surprised viewers before by adding new details and twists into adaptations of iconic story arcs, so there still may be surprises in store.
We can glean some of what to expect just from the film's rating. Unlike The Killing Joke and Justice League Dark sitting at R ratings, this film returns to form with a PG-13. Does it mean that a certain May/December romance from the comics will be omitted here?
Be-H.I.V.E., Children
The trailer gives us a hard open with a good look at the H.I.V.E., a villainous cult that abduct people to steal their powers. It sets up the kind of conflict and threats that we can expect the Titans to be up against. True to form for DC, just because it's a team of kids doesn't mean the storytellers are shy about giving them some pretty darn bleak subject matter to deal with.
Here Comes Deathstroke
The classic Teen Titans baddie is along for the ride, making his debut to the DC animated film franchise, working for the H.I.V.E. to retrieve the Titans so the group can harness their power. There's also a satisfactory amount of fanservice for Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke in the trailer. Every DC animated film seems to have a 'hook' character where the film team goes, "We know this guy is the reason you're watching this movie, nerds", and here it seems to be Slade. His dialogue isn't plentiful but voiced by Miguel Ferrer, in one of his last roles before passing away last month. Jay Oliva's strength as a director shines with the talent of his voice cast, with Slade sounding the right mix of terrifying, apathetic, and oddly Jack Bauer-ish.
The Gang's All Here
A look at the team roster shows a rather noticeable difference from the Teen Titans cartoon of the early 2000's. The tricky thing about telling stories about teenagers is that a choice must be made about whether or characterize them as big children, or small adults. This film sits firmly in the latter camp. In particular, we get to see more of Princess Kori/Starfire as an adult and her relationship with Dick Grayson/Nightwing, whom has decided to rock his New 52 red suit here. Damian Wayne makes up the team's mandatory Robin. They're joined by Titan staples Raven and Beast Boy, the totally trustworthy Terra, and Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle rounds out the team as the cyborg/tech-based hero, since Cyborg is part of the League in the animated film universe.
Fight Night
A lot of asskickery goes around, showing the kind of conflicts that are in store for the team and the opposition they're up against. They learn the hard way that Deathstroke isn't just talk, although there's other treats in store, like Starfire throwing down and Damian on the warpath. Suffice it to say that whatever inner demons Damian has dealt with in previous films are settled – or at least buried – and he's ready to let his tiny fists do the talking. And maybe I'm imagining things, but don't these baddies look a smidge like the Loader Bots from Borderlands 2? Something you wanna share with the class, DC?
Who Let Jaime Trash-Talk?
A look at an imperiled Beetle likely ensnared by the H.I.V.E. is thrown in for drama, but Jaime's got too much spirit to be beaten so easily. Just… save the combat one-liners for people with sharper tongues, kid. You are too good and pure for this game.
Actual Human Damian Wayne
Following the trend of the past few years for trailers to have their own comical stinger, the trailer wraps up on a bit of brotherly banter between Dick and Damian. It's a rare moment where the Wayne/Al-Ghul child actually gets to be a child, sitting on the receiving end of some grilling from Nightwing, which he handles in his own particular idiom. It's an attempt by the team at DC to explore the humanity of a character whom is, frankly, kinda messed up.
The Judas Contract will be slated for release sometime this year.

For the Vegan Meringue:
For the Strawberries:
For the Whipped Coconut Cream:
How to make Vegan Saffron, Strawberry and Lime Meringue Nests
1. Preheat the oven to 100°C. Line three large baking trays with greaseproof paper.
2. Drain the chickpeas and reserve the water. Put the chickpeas in a container and use it to make Channa Masala or Hummus later.
3. Pour the chickpea water into the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the balloon Whisk attachment. Make sure your bowl is really clean and grease free. Any oil could cause your meringue to deflate.
4. Whisk on a high speed for 4 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat. During this time, add the cream of tartar, vanilla and saffron. Once your meringues have reached a really stiff glossy peak stage, add a little bit of yellow food colour if you like. whip until evenly incorporated.
5. Fit a piping bag with a large star-tipped nozzle and spoon in your meringue. You might have to do it in batches if it doesn't fit. Shake to remove any large air pockets.
6. pipe into nests by piping a 3-inch round spiral base, then pipe two to three circles on top of the outer edge of the base, spiraling upwards to create a 'nest effect' on the edge of the meringue.
7. Bake at 100°C for 2 ½ hours, then switch the oven off and leave for a further hour. Remove from the oven and gently peel the meringues away from the greaseproof paper. They should be totally dry underneath. Remember, the larger the meringues, the longer they will take to bake.
8. Meanwhile, chop the strawberries any which way you like. Add the lime juice, zest and sugar. Mix and cover with cling film. Chill until later.
9. Open the tins of coconut milk (don't shake them first) and remove the thick cream from the top. Place it in the bowl of your stand mixer and whip along with the sugar until smooth. Reserve the water for a smoothie tomorrow morning.
10. Assemble the nests with a spoonful of coconut cream, top with strawberries and lime zest. Serve immediately.
The plain meringue nests will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Tales such as this, especially from Nigeria, always makes me think "what else is new". However, like most stories, it's not so cut and dried as the linked article opinion would have us believe. And, just to piss off the usual suspects, it is probably more linked to climate change than to religion.Let's first go to Snopeshttps://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nigeria-christians-muslims/And this herder-farmer dispute is not new. From the BBC in 2016 "Making sense of Nigeria's Fulani-farmer conflict"Or these pieces from the Christian Science Monitor from 2012 and 2013.https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Africa/2012/0709/Weekend-clashes-kill-200-as-Nigeria-struggles-for-controlhttps://www.csmonitor.com/World/Latest-News-Wires/2013/0504/Clashes-between-ethnic-groups-leave-at-least-30-dead-in-NigeriaTrying to understand Africa is a monumental task and trying to make a claim such as that in the Fernando article highlights that the author is either ignorant of the facts or (more likely) is as guilty as "the establishment elites" that he attacks by deliberately ignoring the nuances of the conflict in his goal of advancing his agenda.There is more than enough blame to go around in Nigeria's long history of regional, tribal, economic, political and religious violence. There are undoubtedly a few others of a certain age on these means who can remember seeing the horrors of the Nigerian Civil War (aka Biafran War) on nightly TV reports 50 years ago. At that time the Muslim Northern Hausa-Fulani mostly stayed out of the conflict, while the Southerners (including many Christians) had no problem on embarking on a campaign of eliminating those who opposed them.(edited to correct a spelling error)
I refer you to an earlier post, that highlights that religion may not be the primary driver.I am sorry, how many Islamic and/or Muslim nations are rocketing Israel, I have missed this in the news. I did hear Israel showered Palestine with rockets though and those usual issues exist.Any rate here is a list of Islam by nation, could you please list the countries with say more the 40% Muslims and whether they are attacking Israel for me or not.I think 2 maybe 3 will be the top, so the majority of Islamic or Muslim nations are not.Abdullah
Humans have incredible capacity to create both good and bad in the universe. Good and bad are individual, daily choices. To blame ideology, religions, objects, racial groups or gender (or any other reason) is to miss the point and lets individuals off of the hook for their actions.
Snopes has been debunked.
That's a big part of the story, but learning how/why people end up looking for answers/solutions in the wrong places doesn't have to let people off the hook. That's also part of finding solutions - to help those who've made the wrong choices while they face their consequences, as well as to keep others from making similarly wrong choices.
You yourself are a self described Nationalist. Why would you care what goes on elsewhere in the world? Donald Trump is also a self described nationalist. One you have defended on multiple occasions. One who is essentially an isolationist. Not a knock your position but I am trying to square that round peg. As mentioned by Blackadder, some on the right are merely trying to minimise the events in Christchurch with that train of thought. "Yes that was bad but what about..." You can apply that train of thought to anything.
Source?Here are a few that refute what you are claiming. https://www.networkworld.com/article/2235277/data-center-fact-checking-the-fact-checkers-snopes-com-gets-an-a.htmlhttps://mediabiasfactcheck.com/snopes/ "We have found that since we started our project, Snopes has fact-checked opinions only 2 percent of the time. In other words, 98 percent of the time it sticks to matters of verifiable fact. Such an achievement is even more remarkable given that during this period, Snopes has produced the second-most articles of the six fact-checking outfits."https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/2017/02/26/snopes-is-a-least-biased-source-despite-what-you-may-have-read/More importantly, is there anything in what Blackadder posted that is factually wrong?
Yes I'm a Nationalist. I am not an Isolationist. I don't know why you would introduce Trump into this.As a nationalist I care deeply what happens to and in my country. As such, when I see all this bullshit in Africa, I don't want it coming here. I want to protect my country, as I always have. Any increase in crime, racism, murder, etc is of vital interest to me and my country to try prevent.So before it gets here, how about we pay attention and try rid ourselves of it.Now I know that's pretty deep thought for some, but I have no problem squaring my nationalism and trying to reduce harm, nor do I find it contradictory.I hope I rounded out your hole for you.How am I minimizing anything? This is more discussion that we've had in quite awhile about this stuff. I certainly hope you're not trying to insinuate I'm trying to change our direction here. Or that I'm something I'm not. I think there's been more than enough of that. Move along.
Forget Snopes. I can find as many links saying it's crap. Including sites where the basement dwellers were interviewed.It's in the same category as wiki for truth. People use them when they are tenuously grasping at sources.It's a rabbit hole and immaterial to the discussion.
Hamas doesHezbollah rarely does, but promises to with 15,000 rocketsIran promises to wipe Israel off of the mapSyria would like to, but is incapableLebanon is Hezbollah sex toy and does what it's told.PLA has the death of Israel in it's charter, but is to busy fighting HamasKSA, finds Israel distasteful, but trusts it more than the rest of the Muslim world.Turkey's current government hates Israel and would like to subgate it into Ottoman Empire 2.0, although they know they need the Jews to run the administration of the new Empire.Egypt knows it very nearly lost big time and has no interest in destroying them, embarrassing and hurting them would be nice. The rest of the Muslim world would like to see the destruction of Israel, as long as someone else tries the the risky bits of fighting them.
Don't even try that. Israel doesn't use it's Iron Dome and fire missles willy nilly for shits and giggles. It uses it to take down rockets fired at Israel.
Okay 2 countries. Thanks mate. I won't deny the hatred for Jewish people that is evident in so many Muslim countries at the political or general level sadly, that is another topic any ways and a serious one at that. Which should be addressed, supporting one part and demonizing the other is a serious problem in this particular conflict.I will read that as you do not wish to engage in a conversation to defend your points and wish to remain consumed by them. As shown in this and other posts.But from what I understand the answer is only 2 from out of dozens of Muslim of Islamic nations.I will take my leave now.Have a good day.Abdullah
None of this was a personal attack on you. At all. I thought we could actually discuss. Where did I say you were minimising this? I said some on the right. To be more specific Fernando and his opinion piece. You are a self described nationalist. Definition is identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations."their nationalism is tempered by a desire to join the European Union"synonyms: patriotism, patriotic sentiment, allegiance/loyalty to one's country, loyalism, nationality; Morexenophobia, chauvinism, jingoism, flag-waving; ethnocentrism, ethnocentricity •advocacy of or support for the political independence of a particular nation or people."Scottish nationalism"synonyms: separatism, secessionism, partitionism, isolationism; sectarianism "granting greater autonomy to Scotland is awakening English nationalism" Your statement about our cowardly isolationism seems to go against what you believe. I bring Trump into this because he is an isolationist. One you have defended. Which goes against what you just posted about cowardly isolationism.You are being passive aggressive when all I am doing is discussing the points. Move along...right. For someone who takes offense at personal attacks you are by definition acting as a hypocrite in this instance. I'll stay right here and defend or debunk your points and their merits all I want just like you are free to move along if you want. Go ahead and rant now or not. When you want to discuss like I thought maybe we could let me know.
And once more, you prefer to paint me by your definition. Why are you so set in pigeon holing me? Is it because you feel better for it? Make you feel proud or something? Milpoints? I don't know. I'm just guessingWe just spent a whole bunch of time on this and you know what kind of nationalist I am. Why do you persist in trying to demonize me with the bastardized version. How many times must I explain it for you? You know exactly my feelings on it, but you persist.It may sound hypocritical to you, because the more I defend, the more qualifiers to the contrary, you toss in the way. I'll never hit your constantly moving target. Your trying to define me, instead of discussing, is tiresome.Now, if you still don't understand or can't get anyone else to explain it to you again, you'll just have to live with your misunderstanding and let your fantasies fly.I'm done discussing me. I'd rather discuss this problem. The problem people keep trying to avoid, rather than try find a solution. Instead of questioning my ethics and, why don't you discuss what we can do to fix these problems? I'm not going back to look, but did you discuss anything of the problem, or just me?I'll continue to discuss the problem of lopsided reporting, here, with others that wish too. I'll stop hitting 'You are ignoring this user' though. I don't rant anymore. You're doing a pretty good job for both of us.
Again with the attacks. I'll be blunt. I'm not trying to define you. You do a good enough job of doing that yourself. Second you started the attacks when I pointed out the fallacy of Fernando's position. Then you made it about you. You then discredited Blackadders source with nothing factual. When I asked what it was about what he posted that was factually wrong you ignored it. Twice really. Discussion goes both ways. Notice that every time a thread derails YOU are normally a big part if not the catalyst behind it. I'll bow out now. This particular discussion between us is beyond salvaging as far as I can tell. I'll follow Abdullah's lead and assume that you are merely attacking and not actually defending your points because you truly are consumed by them. I don't play the ignore game. I read what you post. I don't agree with everything. I agree with some but you really have to work on how you debate with people. You say you want to discuss...but you rarely actually do. Just an observation. Later.
Nope. You don't get to flip this on me with false allegations and other bullshit innuendo to try bolster your mistake. Since when did me being consumed (your words) with getting the right thing done become an anathema to you?You inferred muslim countries hadn't rocketed Israel. You say you seemed to have missed all the multiple reports on international and national news and the internet. Colin effectively answered the question, showing what the muslim feeling towards Israel is, but you're still trying to win with semantics. It is you who cannot defend your points and are starting to show a narrow view of certain things.
I've defended my points. It doesn't have to be to your satisfaction. I owe you only an explanation, not agreement.
We're devolving again. I've done my best to keep things level and honest and impersonal I believe I've done pretty good sticking to the subject without projecting much bias. Try just asking a question next time without all the personal bullshit.
If it is too squeamish a topic for the site, the mods can take it away. I understand. We can just bury it and keep ignoring it because we've become programmed to feel uncomfortable with the subject. "If you disagree with me, you're a racist."
We'll have the conversation again, when it happens to the church down the block from us.

MATH3006 Relativity, Black Holes and Cosmology
Module Overview
This is a module principally on Einstein's general theory of relativity, a relativistic theory of gravitation which explains gravitational effects as coming from the curvature of space-time. It provides a comprehensive introduction to material which is currently the subject of enthusiastic study from the theoretical and experimental standpoints. The module starts by introducing the special theory of relativity in a manner designed to make the transition to the general theory more tractable. In addition, in order to understand the general theory fully, some familiarity with tensor calculus is required. This will involve some self-study material at the start of the module. The rest of the module will be devoted to a detailed investigation of the theory itself together with applications to classical black holes and cosmology. The theory is full of surprises and challenging new ideas and the module is designed to make these accessible to students from a wide variety of backgrounds.

At the end of July (2017 – I'm less behind on the blog this year!), we returned to the town of Kodiak after a great cruise. We had chores and work to do – articles for me and statistical programming for Seth – but we also had some fun, mostly because we met a really great sailing family on their capable and beautifully maintained steel boat Galactic. Mike and Alisa had just returned from 10 years sailing around the Pacific and Atlantic, visiting some fascinating out-of-the-way places and raising their two boys, Elias and Eric, on board. Mike also managed to keep up with his science work while sailing, so he and Seth could talk shop (programming in R) together, and Alisa and I could talk (mildly gripe?) about the men's constant search for WiFi while we ladies prefer total wilderness…. In all seriousness, though, it's pretty cool to be able to work from the boat and then to meet other people who've had the same type of life and could give us great hints on not only beautiful anchorages around the world, but beautiful anchorages with WiFi! We meet a fair number of other sailors out here, and with some you just connect immediately, almost like you already know each other, and that was the case with Galactic. Obviously, it made our time in town!
But a sailboat isn't meant to stay in port, so after 10 days we were off on the next leg of this summer's voyage. We left about midday to time the flood tide through Whale Pass on the north side of Kodiak. We had a lovely sail with a steady northeast wind, cruising along under full main and jib, spotting puffins, humpback whales, and otters. The sailing was so nice that we thought about just keeping going and not bothering to anchor for the night. But our work and socializing in town had tired us out a bit so we did decide to anchor.
The next morning dawned foggy and windless, but a great showing of orcas and Dall's porpoises made up for it.
And then the wind picked up, again from the northeast, and we had a tearing sail on a beam reach across Shelikof Strait to the Katmai National Park. We got to finish the sail flying our asymmetrical spinnaker among the islands at the entrance to the anchorage.
We had a good time in the Katmai – our third time there now – checking out the bears (who weren't yet fishing for salmon as the fish had yet to come up the stream) and catching up again with our friend Leiv who was on his way back to Kodiak after cruising the Alaska Peninsula. Sailing's a pretty small world – Leiv and the Galactic family are good friends, having met in Tasmania a few years ago while sailing there on their respective boats. While in the Katmai, Seth and I also met a Canadian couple who'd sailed their boat from Ontario by way of Portugal, Panama, and Hawaii, a nice circuitous route that took them several years and tens of thousands of miles. And then, on our way to another anchorage, we passed Breakpoint, a German boat we'd met in the South Pacific ten years ago. We were going different ways, so we only chatted by VHF radio, but it was good to talk. Seriously small world!
When we left the Katmai, we'd originally planned on a long day-sail to an island north of Kodiak, but the wind was so good – 20 knots from the southwest – that we just kept on going. It was a great downwind run, the best of the summer, rollicking along wing 'n' wing at 7-8 knots. Unfortunately, the party ended at about 2AM when the wind died and we had to motor in sloppy seas – the current was running hard against us out of Cook Inlet. Around 5:30, things got pretty unpleasant when a strong easterly blew up (we were heading northeast) and the second reef decided to be a huge pain to put in. Not a great end to the night.
We got to the Kenai Peninsula, though, and were rewarded with glorious weather for sailing, fishing (and catching!) red and pink salmon, and just spending time at anchor and in the dinghy watching wildlife and canning our latest salmon catch in our pressure canner!
Eventually it was time to go, as we got some wind for sailing to Seward and had to head to town (and WiFi!).

Oops? Last night during the simulcast block of CNN Newsroom, CNN accidentally translated British Prime Minister David Cameron's remarks from English to French — and then back to English.
Cameron was holding a joint conference with French President Francois Hollande, and evidently, CNN just kept the French-to-English going, even though when Cameron took over, it went from English-to-French-to-English.
