How to Make Peace with Your Family
During the holiday season, many people are uncomfortable to spend time with their families due to a history of personal fights or disagreements.
15 % of Americans say that having a family dinner stresses them out because of the resulting arguments.

Key Ideas
The deep wounds and scars that run in the family make people prone to various health conditions due to stress.
Chronic conditions like headaches and strokes are diagnosed due to a family's emotional climate.
There are a few ways in which can move on from pain and stress, towards acceptance and love:
TV advertisements bombard us with happy families, with pop culture showing family dinner time as a fun and relaxed time.
In reality, this isn't always the case with everyone.
Childhood has for most people been traumatic or disappointing. A tough upbringing is not something to resent, but something that has made you stronger.
Our parents and families most likely won't change, but we can change our feelings towards them.
We need to accept our family circumstances as they are. Our healing starts when we accept.
"Reparenting" is a process that brings in self-understanding, maturing and healing.
We have to acknowledge that our childhood traumas and unfulfilled needs were not our parents' fault as they did their best, and in most cases didn't neglect anything.
Reparenting is a way to get out the chains of the past, and understanding that our parents love us and never intentionally wanted to hurt us.

When a child grows up in a dysfunctional home with unavailable parents, the child takes on the role of caretaker, learn to put the parents need first, and repress and disregard their own needs.
As the child becomes an adult, he or she repeats the same dynamic in their adult relationships.
Resentment builds when you don't recognize your own needs and wants. A common behavioral tendency is to overreact or lash out when your partner lets you down.

Weekly Quote for Week 4-2020 ~ Ensnared
"Jeb is an anchor; he holds me grounded to my humanity and compassion. But Morpheus is the wind; he drags me kicking and screaming to the highest precipice, shoves me off, then watches me fly with netherling wings. When Jeb's at my side, the world is a canvas–unblemished and welcoming; when I'm with Morpheus, it's a wanton playground–wicked and addictive."

Works EXACTLY as advertised
This workes exactly as advertised. I was able to open up multiple Visio documents and save them to PDF without any issues or problems. Thanks!!!
Developer Response ,
Perfect, we are really glad to hear that! ❤
Regards, Arina
Truth in advertising! VSD Viewer Works, text formatting is correct!
Attempted to get away with another "Visio Viewer" program just under $7, but it fell short of expectation when it failed the text formatting of several docs.
Docs looked horrible as text labels were misplaced etc, regardless of their advertised claim.
However, look no further! This Visio doc viewer "VSD Viewer" works as advertised. I have reopened all other docs which were problematic and presto! All good!
Happy customer.
It just works…And that's what I want
I occationally get VSD files from my windows using team members and this opens and displays them like a charm. That's all I need from it and it does what I need very well.

So you think you can choreograph a dance? Here are a few pointers for choosing your music!
While there are so many songs out there that it would seem easy breezy, there is an art to choosing the right song for your dance piece. Here are a few things to consider when selecting that perfect piece of music:
What is the style and the occasion?
Be sure that the style of music you choose is complimentary to the style of dance you're choreographing. This may go without saying, but we all know how confusing it can be to watch or to do a dance that just doesn't go with the music. It's also important to keep in mind the purpose of your dance; you may want to choose a different song based off of whether you are competing a routine or creating a dance for performance purposes. Performance pieces can be a little more forgiving because there's not a built-in expectation. Always keep the style, occasion and your audience in mind so they stay engaged throughout the dance.
Is it dynamic?
Choreographing a dance is somewhat like telling a story. There is a beginning, a middle and an end, so choose a song that allows your choreography to build and progress. Be sure your music has variety, with layers of melody, rhythm, a good beat (if appropriate to style) and musical nuances to allow for a variety of movement and interpretation. We want to explore all the instruments being used to see and feel them come to life through our movement, and that can be harder to do with a song that is too simple or too repetitive.
Is it too main stream/over-used?
A few years ago, every body wanted to use the "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" cover by Lorde from the Hunger Games. In fact two of the top tier competitors at UDA College Nationals both used that song! The chances are, if there is a current song that inspires you, it's probably inspiring other people, as well. Consider searching for songs that are a little less mainstream, and you will most likely strike gold! The Spotify "Discover Weekly" feature is a great way to find new music. Spotify takes the music you already listen to and creates a special playlist that is based off of what you already like. You can also always search other people's playlists on Spotify or Soundcloud. There is so much more music out there for us to discover and utilize.
Does it make you feel something/inspire you?
We know what it's like to love a song and really want to move to it. Then we get into the studio and find that it's not that inspiring past the intro or for longer than the chorus. If this happens, go back to the drawing board and choose another song! You want your music to guide the movement and be natural, not too forced. The goal is to captivate your audience through moving with creativity and heart. Your music is your guide and is going to set the emotional tone and tempo for your dance, so be wise and thorough when picking your song.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has concluded the headline prices quoted by Virgin Media in a series of ads were misleading.
The ads, which ran in February 2012, quoted headline prices that were only available to customers that also took Virgin phone line rental for an additional £13.90 a month.
Virgin Media is one of 16 broadband providers reviewed as part Which?'s twice annual broadband survey. You can see how it compares to the competition on our broadband review pages.
Misleading pricing
The ASA investigated the ads after receiving 18 complaints challenging whether they were misleading because the cost of the Virgin phone line was compulsory, but was not included in the headline price.
The complaints related to three separate ads – a press ad offering four bundles, a circular, and a TV ad featuring the runner Usain Bolt. In the press ad, for example, prices for four bundles are quoted but text below stated 'All prices are when you take a Virgin Phone line for £13.90 a month'.
Why was the complaint upheld?
The ASA considered the Virgin phone line rental to be a 'non-optional monthly charge'. This is because the bundles advertised required the phone line to be rented directly from Virgin – it was not possible to use a phone line for another provider.
Though it acknowledged that the cost of the line rental had been included in the ads, it had not been included in the quoted headline price. The ASA has told Virgin that that ads must not appear again in their current form and that all non-optional fees are included in the quoted headline prices in future.
Virgin Media's response
Virgin told the ASA it received advice from the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) – the body that regulates all non-broadcast advertising – on the positioning of the requirement for customers to pay line rental. In the case of the press ad, it said it considered it 'in line with the advice received', and included information setting out the requirement to take line rental, and that the price was in the body copy and not in a footnote.
It also said it believed that the extent of the commitment a consumer must make to obtain the advertised price was made clear. And that this was in line with standard industry practice.

Stevie Parle's Pastaio to open in Canary Wharf and launch click-and-collect service
The pasta restaurant is open for soft launch at Street Feasts' Giant Robot 'rooftopia' from today (20 November), before officially launching on 26 November.
It is offering the same menu of homemade pasta as the original Soho restaurant, as well as new dishes such as deep fried n'duja and mozzarella, and its signature alcoholic slushies.
Parle, who is the chef restaurateur behind Dock Kitchen, Rotorino, Palatino, Craft London and a partner at Sardine, opened Pastaio in Soho's busy Kingly Court in November 2017.
"I've been a member of the London Union advisory board for a few years and am really excited to be involved with one of their places now as an operator," says Parle. "Nobody delivers the holy trinity of food, booze and music with the scale and quality of a Street Feast site."
To coincide with the opening of the new site, Pastaio is to start offering a click and collect service from both its restaurants, allowing guests to pre-order and pay online before collecting dishes at their chosen time.
Pastaio will also begin partnering with Deliveroo in early December.

I'm telling you, it's the height of stupidity for any westerner outside of being in the military, to visit, let alone set up shop in the ME countries.
I'm hoping that the woman makes it out alright, and that we don't get taken to the cleaners for her stupidity either, paying them off only whets their appetite for more as history has shown us time and again.
NOTE: It's connected to this story posted earlier, a Swedish run guest house was attacked and two people ended up dead.
Finnish citizen kidnapped in Afghanistan
A Finn has been kidnapped in the Afghan capital, Kabul. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed the kidnapping, but has not yet given any details.
Finnish authorities confirmed on Sunday morning that a Finn had been kidnapped in Afghanistan. The foreign ministry was tight-lipped about the details of the case, but confirmed that a Finn had been taken hostage.
"The only detail that I can give at this stage is that there is no information yet about the kidnappers," said ministry spokesperson Karoliina Romanoff.
The Finnish news agency STT reports that the kidnapped woman was working for an aid organisation. Afghan media report that the woman went missing on Saturday night in the wake of an attack on the accommodation where she was staying. The kidnapping was first reported in Finland by Helsingin Sanomat.
The BBC reports that one German aid worker died in the attack, along with a security guard. The foreign ministry is aware of around 35 Finnish civilians who are currently in Afghanistan, along with some 30 soldiers who are part of the ISAF operation in the country.
The ministry's official travel advisory says that the security situation is either 'critical' or 'weak' in every region of the country, and that foreigners are at risk of being kidnapped.
In July 2014 two Finnish aid workers were shot and killed in the western Afghan city of Herat.
EDIT–The story has been edited to clarify that there are 30 Finnish soldiers in Afghanistan, as part of Nato's ISAF mission, along with some 35 civilians.

Lifeway Christian Research (Southern Baptist) recently concluded a study about why young adults are leaving the church today. In a summary article over at churchrelevance.com, they bring out the four things, according to Jim Johnston of Lifeway, that young adults want in a church:
- Relationship
- Biblical Community
- Social Action
- Genuine Church
While I would normally say that what our Americanized, self-seeking culture "wants" in a church and what church should be are two different things, I was struck by the results of the survey. Perhaps today's young adults want more of the essence of humble Christianity than the blatant event orientation of past generations.
Follow up on the articles above and let me know what you think about their conclusions.

Yesterday I asked Do You Really Know Me?, and then highlighted that we can often know people for many years, but in reality not really know anything about them.
When we look at someone, we all (often subconsciously) judge them or put a label on them. Based on how little we often know about people we've known and spoken to for years, isn't it quite ridiculous that just from seeing someone for a few minutes we think we can put a label on them.
Maybe the labels we put on people are positive ones, e.g. happy, friendly, welcoming etc. But often I think we tend to look for the negative in people. e.g. By labelling them unhappy, depressed, distant, unloving etc.
Just last week I was the subject of just such an incident – Last week I was on a training course with a number of my colleagues, and at various points we broke into small groups to discuss or work through some examples. Well on one occasion (having been in the same group for the previous discussion) we were put into groups again to discuss another area, and I was informed that "you have to lead this discussion because you didn't look very happy during the last one".
I would have happily led the discussion if it hadn't been for the reason I was being told I had to lead the discussions! Had anyone bothered to ask me why I hadn't seemed very happy during the previous discussions? Had I told anyone that I was unhappy at the way the previous discussions were led?
The answer to both these questions was definitely No! If anyone had bothered to ask me why I didn't seem very happy, I would have told them why – I wasn't feeling too good and was in a lot of pain.
Why am I telling you all this? Well I just want to highlight how easy it can be to make wrong assumptions about people. Assumptions which can then lead to things being said or done which hurt or upset others.
God doesn't judge us on what He sees on the outside, it's the inside that's important. So I'd urge each of us to try not to judge others on how they look, talk to folk and find out about the real person inside…don't jusge others from the outside, we'd hate it if they judged us simply by what they see!

When you mention names like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Shaquile O'Neal, look closely there could have been a Christopher among the 50 Greatest Players in the history of NBA.
Sadly Christopher didn't get to the list; truth is he didn't even get to play in the NBA.
Fast forward twenty years after, Christopher now Pastor Chris Delvan shares in his compelling sermon on the 5th of June 2013 at TWB, on how cigarette smoking took away his basket ball dream, and how drugs almost took away his music dream.
An addiction can be fun in the immediate, but could cost you something vital in the long run?
Chris had a noble dream as a teenager to play for the NBA, which was his ticket to live the life of his dreams, but he smoked twice as much cigarettes, as he worked hard to improve his basketball skills.
One day a sudden opportunity came when the NBA team came by his neighbourhood in Kaduna to select players.
Everyone knew Christopher was an exceptional player and would definitely make the list. But one thing Christopher and his teammates didn't know was that his lungs had degenerated terribly.
He attempted to run, but couldn't. He was often exasperated, wheezing uncontrollably and coughing hysterically. "Maybe he was just tired" his coach thought. But Christopher knew this was pay day; his tiredness was a symptom of damaged lungs, it was the culmination of years of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.
He finally quit cigarettes, but sadly only after he had quit his dreams.
In his narrative, Pastor Chris Delvan said, life can hardly exist in a vacuum, we are constantly under certain influences and our urge for props, stuff, adventure, substances, alcohol, among others is ever present.
Our generation is one at risk to be an addicted generation; there is no shortage of options to get hooked on; some people are at the point where they are unconsciously developing one addiction, some are currently grappling with one, while some are struggling to get out of one.
It can be difficult battling addiction, as often we relapse and our resolve to fight dissolves, leading us to relinquish and settle into a life of slavery that addiction offers.
Our entertainment lacks no creativity to churn out episodes of interesting soap operas and sitcom that engages us to the point of redundancy; sooner or later we are hooked.
Some are hooked to sugar, other substances, some adventure, some success, some binge, sex and pornography. But none of these satisfies; they only provide momentary pleasure and relief, not long after we indulge our thirst for more returns.
Truth is, not all addictions are sinful, but most are costly. Unfortunately most of the addictions in life take something away from us. They cost us our dreams, health, relationships, careers and even life.
Every human thirst for stuff is an expression of an innate desire to connect with our Father……Christ offers a different kind of addiction;
He is the only addiction that adds to you.
In Christ we find the addiction to end all addiction, one that truly satisfies, saves and replenishes. in John 4; 14 "But the water I give them takes away thirst altogether. It becomes a perpetual spring within them, giving them eternal life."
The longing to quench our dry soul can be powerful. In Rev 22:17 says "If you are thirsty, come! If you want life-giving water come and take it. It's free."
Each of us is now a part of his resurrection body, refreshed and sustained at one fountain-his Spirit-where we all come to drink- 1 Cor 12:13

Cold War Kids Declare Mine Is Yours on New LP
Published Oct 12, 2010The massive buzz that greeted their early EPs may have died down somewhat, but So-Cal indie rockers Cold War Kids have continued to release a steady stream of new music. The band's last full-length, 2008's Loyalty to Loyalty, garnered mixed reviews, but that hasn't discouraged the band from announcing their third LP, Mine Is Yours.
The album will be out January 25 via Downtown Records. Frontman Nathan Willett told Spin, "It has a grand and sprawling sound. [It's] a big, ornate rock record."
It was recorded with producer Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse) over three months in high-end studios. "We really strapped down and wrote songs that are more ornate and intricate than anything we've done before, while also refining and capturing the wildness of our live shows," Willett said.
As for the lyrics, a Willett added in a press release, "I got home from tour and realized I was married. All my friends had either jumped in the deep end of a relationship or had drowned. When did things get so serious? We fought growing up but the wild nights and free-for-all caught up to us. Some people got out in time and others had permanent damage. For this record, I wrote about the joys and failures of commitment all around me."
There's currently no tracklist, but Spin reports that track titles include "Skip the Charades" and "Bulldozer." The band will be gearing up for the album release with a U.S. tour. See the dates below.
Tour dates:
11/5 Pomona, CA - The Glass House

3.5 out of 5 Stars
Sort by
Marquette University Law School utilizes a wide variety of teaching styles including the socratic method, law theory, case study, class discussions, lectures, and guest speakers.
Our academic advising is lacking, the school could definitely utilize a few academic advisors or counselors to help you through the class registration process and make sure that you are completing all of the required classes.
Our class sizes vary for all classes, but ranges from 10 or 15 to a maximum of probably about 100, although I have never been in a class over approximately 75 people.
Marquette University as a whole is extremely competitive, although you may not assume so automatically because I believe the students do genuinely want their friends to succeed. There is not any sabatoging of other students due to competitiveness that I have ever been aware of.
The Academic Success Program (ASP) is a unique feature of a legal education at Marquette and is extremely beneficial to new students. ASP is a program that offers extra explanatory sessions for each class that 1Ls are required to take and is taught by students who have taken the same classes the previous year and excelled in them. This is extremely beneficial because the ASP leaders often have experience with the teachers of the course and can offer insight that only a former student can.
The grading process is rather arduous with a curve set where I believe only 10% of students in each class can receive an honors grade, but I am not completely 100% familiar with the exact grading requirements. I do however believe that there should be some classes, such as legal writing that the curve does not apply to, due to the small class size.
There are MANY study abroad opportunities that students utilize, although I have not chosen to do so yet.
The workload the first year is a little overwhelming for some students, but it is all about time management, and I did not have any problems managing my time around my class schedule. I even worked a part time job the second semester of my 1L year.Quality of Life
Excellent! With the new law school building that was opened this year everything that is offered to the students is brand new and of extremely high quality.Admissions
LSAT Scores, Standard Application Questions, and Essay Questions are all part of the application process.
I was offered a scholarship upon acceptance for previous academic success I beleive.Level
The professors are excellent and proactive. They are willing to assist students and work with them to support them in classes and in their career. The class is competitive but in a healthy way. Students share notes and suggestions and generally support eachother. The class sizes are manageable. The largest class I have had was only 90. Many classes are under 50 and 25. I enjoy the volunteer legal clinic and the research opportunities. We have many notable faculty including a former US Senator, former US Attorney, and Chairman of the National Baseball League.Quality of Life
Essay, LSAT, financial aid, LSDASLevel
classes are exceptional, fantastic professors. good ability to participate in an internship while attending, multiple research and volunteer opportunities. excellent study abroad programsQuality of Life
cost of living is fair for being in a city, the new building is absolutely incredible and makes you never want to leave, milwaukee on the whole is not the safest city but everything the school provides is top notchAdmissions
fairly standard compared to other law schools- allowed for extra essays to let yourself stand out.Level
Best building in the country. You can live there with food service, workout facility and big lockers.
Marquette offers a great practical education for all students. The sports law program is second to none, the international law, business, and dispute resolution programs are also on the rise. The workload is nothing overwhelming, it is just a matter of how you manage your time. Marquette should lose the curve. Many other schools are going away from the curve and Marquette picks it up. Student X may deserve the same grade as Student Y, but beacuse the curve student X will be bumped down. If a student earns a grade they should get it. Class sizes are great and open up the opportunity for professors to get to know their students.Quality of Life
New building is great. There are no problem that stick out to me.Admissions
I think the admissions process is selective to a point. There needs to be less emphasis on the standardized tests (LSAT) and more emphasis on the individual. Grades are helpful, but more should go into what kind of people Marquette wants. Sometimes the people that have amazing LSAT scores and great GPAs do not do as well in law school or do not add anything to the Law School environment. It would be difficult to interview students, but something more should be done than just looking at a student on paper. Test scores do not say much about a student and her or his ability to succeed in law school.Level
Good class size (around 25) for the classes I took in my specialty area. Working problems in tax classes was useful. Notable professors - Lindsey, Bradford, Kossow, Anzivino, Julien, Blemberg.Quality of Life
Excellent facilities, decent area. Pretty safe for an urban campus.Admissions
Good scholarship opportunities. I don't remember the essay topic.
For the first year, there is a mix between Socratic method and question and answer. Some of the classes have about 70 to 80 students, and some have about 20 to 25. The best thing about Marquette Law, at least for me, is the comprehensive Sports Law curriculum they have.Quality of Life
The new law school is second to none.Admissions
Used the LSAC/LSDAS system.Level
Some Socratic, especially during 1L year. Many small classes, especially clinics and seminars; the law school is competitive but collegial; excellent part time program with many second career adult students; incredible building though parking is sparse; much emphasis on hands-on experience through numerous internships in Milwaukee and beyond; many faculty hire students to assist with research; dedicated diverse faculty.Quality of Life
The new building, Eckstein Hall, is incredibly comfortable and welcoming. The law school is in an urban setting, so students must be street smart and make wise choices, but the campus police are responsive and the law school building and other university facitilies are secure.Admissions
LSAT, essay.Level

Drilling off Maine's coast? Not worth the risk
In life, there are some risks worth taking. With summer fast approaching, Maine people are going to start taking those risks – for example, we'll take the risk of planning a trip to Old Orchard Beach on an August Saturday, hoping for an easy place to park, or risk some early morning shivers to catch the day's first rays of sun from the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia. We make these decisions, and take these risks, because we want to make the most of what our state has to offer. What we won't stand for are unnecessary risks – ones that put our way of life at risk.
In recent months, there has been discussion of one potential risk that could threaten communities across our state: the possibility of drilling for oil and gas off the coast of Maine. This conversation began following a proposal from the Department of the Interior to open up nearly all of the U.S. coastline to offshore drilling – including the Gulf of Maine. This would be, quite simply, a disastrous decision.
As a state with more than 3,000 miles of coastline, our waters represent a significant part of our identity, and residents of Maine rely on them for their livelihood, as two of our state's largest and most iconic industries – tourism and lobstering – rely on the health of the ocean and our coastline. So, as we do with all risks, we must measure the potential gain against the potential consequences – and in this case the harm far outweighs any benefits our state would receive. Even a minor oil spill could cause severe damage; we won't see tourists flocking to oil-slicked beaches, or lobstermen fishing for petroleum-covered lobsters, so why would we risk that outcome? These are billion-dollar industries, and cornerstones of Maine life – there's simply nothing that can be gained that is worth the risk of harming these sectors of our economy.
That's why, since this potential plan was announced, I've joined the rest of the Maine Congressional delegation in loudly opposing any offshore drilling off the coast of Maine. In January, Senator Collins and I sent a letter to Secretary Zinke expressing our opposition to his proposal, and later that month we co-sponsored the New England Coastal Protection Act with our New England colleagues in the Senate. The response has also been swift from the Maine Legislature, as both chambers of the Legislature unanimously (I repeat – unanimously!) passed a resolution requesting that the Administration leave Maine out of any potential drilling plan.
The opposition to this plan has been strong, it has been bipartisan, and it hasn't limited itself to politicians. My office has heard from thousands of Maine people who are concerned with what this plan could do to our state, and I know that the Department of the Interior has heard from them too. Last month, many Maine residents drove through one of this winter's numerous snowstorms to attend a Public Meeting on the subject, held by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management at the Augusta Civic Center. I was working in Washington during the event, but members of my staff attended and reported back. When I asked my staffers about the response, I mentioned offhand that I thought 95% of the speakers would be opposed. "No," they told me. "It was 100% opposed."
There are few topics that could unify the state across political parties like this one – but that's because it's rare that we see proposals that threaten so many pieces of Maine life so seriously. We can, and should, pursue energy solutions to help decrease costs across the state, but we must not sacrifice the health of our ocean and our economy in the process. Put simply? This idea is not worth the risk.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer is looking for someone to take over his press briefing duties as President Donald Trump is reportedly considering him for a more senior communications role, according to Politico.
This comes amid a broader staff shake-up after communications director Michael Dubke resigned in late May after just three months on the job.
Spicer, along with Trump's chief of staff Reince Priebus, reportedly spoke with conservative media personality Laura Ingraham about the press secretary job. They also reportedly interviewed Daily Mail editor David Martosko for the communications director position last week.
"We have sought input from many people as we look to expand our communications operation," White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Politico. "As he did in the beginning, Sean Spicer is managing both the communications and press office."
Kimberly Guilfoyle, a Fox News host who has openly discussed being considered for the press secretary role, has not been interviewed, according to sources who spoke with Politico.
The president and top White House aides have reportedly criticised Spicer for his response to several high-profile incidents, including Trump's firing James Comey as FBI director and an investigation into leakers within the communications staff, but Spicer is still considered one of the president's greatest assets.
"Spicer should be elevated and if he's not, I would not blame him for leaving," a White House official told Politico. "The president owes him this much for all he's done for him. Sean is indispensable and I think the president knows that."
Bloomberg, which also reported the news that Spicer might move into a different role, noted that no final decisions have been made.
Some reporters reacted with surprise to the news that Spicer is tasked with finding his own replacement.
The singular weirdness of a press secretary helping to find his replacement in this way is something else https://t.co/ewgbAfvvzK

The new season of House picked up right where last season ended with House and Cuddy together after House's heartbreaking loss of a patient in the crane collapse and Cuddy's decision to finally ditch Lucas. The House-Cuddy chemistry is palpable and it's satisfying to see them finally get together. Of course, like many viewers, I've seen these on screen romances quickly fizzle and fall flat once the characters do "it," much like in real life. If the first two episodes are any indication though, the move to pair these two off is the right one. The rapport between the two is as strong as ever and watching House trying to sort of behave is fun. Instead of taking the air out of the show, the relationship has added an element of spice the show was lacking.
The dispatch of Thirteen to parts unknown during the season opener, due to Olivia Wilde going off to shoot a movie, is also a welcome move. Although I'm not one of those viewers who hate Thirteen, I can't say I've ever warmed to her character and wouldn't be opposed to her not returning.
Although, the medical mystery in the first episode is not memorable or interesting the case in the second episode more than makes up for this. In a "Sophie's Choice" type of dilemma, a couple must decide whether to approve donating half their son's lung who suffers from muscular dystrophy and thereby significantly shortening his life to save their daughter's life, or not use their son as a donor thus allowing their daughter to die. It's gut-wrenching to watch and as expected, House and Cuddy disagree on presenting the parents with this horrible choice, which, as it turns out, is good for their relationship.
Now if we could just see Foreman getting it on and a glimpse of Chase's quadruple dating situation, the show would be full on munchable.

PIAMON® 33-S is a granulated mineral fertiliser with an excellent mix ratio of ammonium sulphate and urea, providing ideal nitrogen properties without the focus on sulphur fertilisation effect. Therefore, PIAMON® 33-S has more to offer than its additional sulphur content. The optimised mix ratio makes it an ideal alternative to the effect of nitrogen fertilisation.
The combination of both nitrogen forms, ammonium and urea nitrogen, in PIAMON® 33-Smakes it possible to provide plants with an immediately available and balanced supply of nitrogen.
PIAMON® 33-Smakes it possible to provide optimal nutrient intake through the simultaneous presence of proportional and immediately available, water soluble urea in soil, an additional advantage. The cation NH4+ and the anion SO4- do not compete or diminish each other in nutrient intake through roots. On the contrary, the charge balance leads to an especially high and proportional intake rate through plants, which means that it provides as aforementioned exceptionally high nitrogen efficiency of PIAMON® 33-S.
The very high nitrogen efficiency of PIAMON® 33-S compared to CAN is due to the balanced mixture of ammonium and urea nitrogen as well as sulphate urea in a fertiliser granule. Since urea is essential for protein synthesis and other enzymatic processes and nitrogen is available in a very balanced form, PIAMON® 33-Scan be used for all plant cultures and at all application times, including late fertilisation of winter wheat (improved raw protein content and sedimentation value), providing higher nitrogen efficiency.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Jazz Flute from Cuba
With the recent passing of the legendary Richard Egües, Orlando "Maraca" Valle may well be the premier flute player in Cuba today. He came to prominence in the 1990s with Jesus Alemañy and Cubanismo, and quickly established himself as a versatile performer in both salsa and Latin jazz. The classically trained virtuoso makes a rare appearance at Yoshi's this week. Because of the exclusion of Cuban musicians into the US following 9/11, Maraca will be joined by a cast of island nation émigrés, including pianist Tony Perez and Humberto "Nengue" Hernandez as well as jazz heavyweight Craig Handy on sax. He calls the pickup band The New Collective. Wednesday through Saturday, October 4-7, 8 & 10 p.m.; Sunday, October 8, 7 and 9 p.m. $24-$28. Yoshis.com (Jesse "Chuy" Varela)
That '60s Show
The Starship is landing ... in Pittsburg? Founding Jefferson Airplane member Paul Kantner brings his formation of Jefferson Starship to the Creative Arts Building for a benefit concert to restore the 2,000-seat auditorium, the largest in Contra Costa County. Billed as the "Jefferson Family Galactic Reunion," the show will revisit the San Francisco Sound of the '60s, featuring Quicksilver Messenger Service and onetime keyboardist for the Grateful Dead, Tom Constanten. Watch out for the hallway twirlers. Saturday, October 7. 7 p.m., $10-$65. CABConcerts.com (Kathleen Richards)
Refined Venezuelan Rhythm
Venezuelan singer and multi-instrumentalist Jackeline Rago has been a mainstay of the Latin dance music community for years, in bands including the Snake Trio, Alatazor, Altamira, and Keith Terry's Crosspulse, as well as performing and recording with most of the Bay Area's Latin, world, and socially conscious musicians. Her Venezuelan Music Project has been her main focus in recent years, allowing her to direct a band that draws from the rhythmically rich cultures of Venezuela and the Caribbean. This week, they set up in Berkeley's La Peña Cultural Center for "Tocao y Bailo," an evening of music with Venezuelan guitarist Aquiles Baez and bassist Gonzalo Teppa. Sunday, October 8. 6 p.m., $12/$15. LaPena.org (Larry Kelp)
Salty Old Punks
Remember about two decades ago, when your best friend's way-cool older sister wore skintight black jeans and smudged black eyeliner against a crusty pale face that wouldn't see the light of day until at least 3 p.m., just in time to juice up and head to Gilman Street? That's exactly where the dry-distortion rock 'n' roll of '80s So-Cal regulars Decry takes you. Good times. Appropriately, the band plays on Friday, October 6 at 924 Gilman with Retching Red, Z.B.S., Miscreants, and Skinned Alive. 8 p.m., $5. 924Gilman.org (K.R.)
Siberian Violinist Hottie
Personable violin virtuoso Maxim Vengerov returns to Cal Performances this week to join pianist Lilya Zilberstein in a Zellerbach Hall recital of works by Mozart, Beethoven, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich. Of great interest is their performance of ten of Dmitri Tziganov's unusual violin-piano transcriptions of Shostakovich's 24 piano preludes, to which Vengerov will bring his rich, deeply expressive tone. Sunday, October 8. 3 p.m. $36-$68. CalPerfs.berkeley.edu (Jason Victor Serinus)
Celt Arse-Kicking, Redux
Shane MacGowan is a little bit of history. Known for his less-than-attractive features and dipsomaniac tendencies, he came up in Sex Pistols-era London with his first band the Nipple Erectors, then became the lead singer of the Celtic-punk pioneers the Pogues. Today, he makes a triumphant return with a highly anticipated, hyped, and sold-out Pogues reunion tour, featuring original members Jem Finer, Spider Stacy, James Fearnley, Darryl Hunt, Andrew Ranken, Philip Chevron, and Terry Woods. The question is whether Shane can even stand. Monday through Thursday October 9-12 at the Fillmore in San Francisco. 8 p.m., $65. TheFillmore.com (K.R.)
Central Asian Throat Singing
The central Asian republic of Tuva has a band named Huun-Huur-Tu which is largely responsible for introducing the world to a tradition virtually unknown outside of the country. The quartet uses throat singing a method of using a single voice to produce several notes and overtones at the same time to create an eerie, riveting presentation with a centuries-old tradition. The band members are also adept on instruments largely unknown outside of their homeland, including dazhaanning khavy (a rattle made from a bull scrotum), amarga (a deer antler trumpet), and doshpuluur (a three-stringed banjo). Their live performance is an experience you'll never forget. Tuesday, October 10 at Ashkenaz in Berkeley. 8 p.m. $15. Ashkenaz.com (j. poet)

As a retail manager in the North Loop, Laura Waldman found herself collecting stories about Minnesota's makers — and impressed with their products.
"The story is I started to meet a lot of really talented makers in the community. They had just beautiful, high-quality products," Waldman said. "I was finding I had never heard of these products, and I have lived here my whole life."
This was 2016, when boxes of products started becoming popular. She thought about starting a subscription service of Minnesota goods but settled on gift boxes partly because she couldn't find a company offering those.
"But mainly because Minnesotans overall are generous people," Waldman said. "You might feel bad about treating yourself. People have a bit more fun gifting and showing their gratitude."
So in April, May and June, she started building her business. She landed on Minny & Paul as the name, bought the web domain, worked on the logo and website design and organized a focus group. She tested her theory by putting together a beta box she successfully sold to friends and family for Father's Day that year.
A friend's mom saw the box and brought it into work, where the company was trying to figure out a gift to give out at a conference. The company asked Waldman if she could customize a box with the company's logo. The answer was yes, and she received her first 100-box order.
"Boxes were everywhere," as she and family members fulfilled that first order out of her south Minneapolis duplex.
From there, she started building her maker base for the business — and securing credit, necessary in a retail business since you need to buy products before you can sell them. She scoped out farmers markets and art fairs to find makers, and the company started growing.
"It's the most fun part about the business, the relationship-building and finding and learning about these products and the makers' stories," said Waldman, who grew up in Edina.
By October, she was ready for her business to get its own address, and she started sharing space at the Northrup King Building in Northeast with three other female entrepreneurs, including a bridal consultant.
The business hit profitability the first year, and by the second monthly sales had doubled year over year. "We were bootstrapping it. We have no investors at this time," she said, pointing to Bridgewater Bank as a key partner in her business.
A year later, Minny & Paul moved into a larger suite in the building. "We can settle in and grow," she said. "We are doing more events in our space. You could build your own box. We're looking at opening up weekends to do retail experience."
But Waldman said she's not interested in following a traditional retail model. She holds pop-up events such as one coming up from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Hewing Hotel in the North Loop and still participates in select art fairs.
"I'm honestly overwhelmed," she said. "There's so much stuff going on in Minnesota. It's so hard to choose from the products."
The Minny & Paul boxes are wooden with the company logo on it (or a customized business logo for group orders) from WAAM Industries. Inside are a collection of matched items from a mix of the more than 40 artisans she now buys from.
"The process of curating a box is really fun and is a lot more complicated than what people might think," Waldman said. "They need to be general, but also have an impact and creative feel."
For example, for the holiday season, she created the "Cozy" box with a KISA Peshtemal towel, which she said can be used as a scarf or throw. Then she added Thumbs glitter cookies, a mini Mademoiselle Miel honey jar, a Wacks & Co. Alpine candle, an Illume matchbook and a card from Maddko Illustration. The cost for the limited-run box is $98.
Other retail boxes offered right now range from $48 to $108.
The company has created partnerships with TEDxMinneapolis and Squarespace, and its corporate customers include Land O'Lakes and RBC Wealth Management. The plan for next year is to expand the corporate and group order business, using larger vendors that can turn orders more quickly, Waldman said.
Minny & Paul also will create more limited-edition boxes featuring some of the smaller "hidden gem" artisans who don't have the capacity for larger volume orders, she said. These might be more heavily promoted on platforms such as Instagram.
Meanwhile, Waldman is getting married in February in Mexico.
The bridesmaid favors? A variation of the Minny & Paul boxes, of course, using tote bags because of the traveling.

May 6, 2015 International No Diet Day and H?d?rellez06/05/2015 Duración: 02min
International No Diet Day - Started by Mary Even Young in 1992 as a response to society's fixation on thinness, ineffectual nature of diets and bullying. She intended the day to bring awareness to people that they should feel good about themselves and not try to live by society's standards. Originally in England it spread around the globe and while it may be used by restaurants and other food marketing companies to suggest indulging in food, it really is for people to feel comfortable with themselves and not be ashamed of how they look. Hıdırellez - A holiday celebrated in Turkey and Syria, this is the start of the summer season. It commemorates the day when Hızır (Al-Khdir) and İlyas (Elijah) meet on earth. Hizir, symbolizing earth and Ilyas symbolizing water. A time that many will socialize and perform rituals where water and land meet. The celebration starts the night of the 5th and goes through to the 6th of May. Ref: http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/summers-starting-fest-hidirellez-to-be-celebrated.a

Immigration Track: Finding the story: Immigration (advanced)
On any given day, about 45,000 people are in immigrant detention, a number that has increased under the Trump administration's policies and put government facilities at capacity.
Prosecutions for illegal entry swamp federal courts, making up about 80 percent of the dockets of cases in districts along the border, and a record of more than 869,000 people are waiting for their cases to be heard in immigration courts, with an average wait time stretching longer than two years.
During last year's family separation crisis, parents were sent to a series of detention centers run by different government agencies while kids were sent to federal shelters run by nonprofits and private companies across the country making billions of dollars while facing little public scrutiny. Meanwhile, more than 12,000 migrant children who traveled here without their parents are in government shelters and the administration is trying to expand its capacity to hold more minors.
What are the governmental agencies and private companies that run these facilities? How are they making their money and where are their contracts? And how does the Trump administration's policies and practices affect the lives of those forced to live in them?
Over the past two years, 22 immigrants have died in custody, the highest number since 2009.
Building on the previous session, we delve into the intersection of criminal and immigration law, how to use court data to parse it, and examine ways to look into the secretive adult detention centers and the shelters holding migrant children.
This session is good for: Anyone. No technical skills are needed for this workshop.

Hostel automation
Hostel automation system
The popularity of hostels is largely determined by its positioning as one of the budget accommodation, which is why the price is a decisive factor. However, to ensure a hostel remains profitable with its low prices, it is needed to pay attention to cost reduction and at the same time to increase the occupancy of the hostel.

By automating a hostel, it is possible to sell all available hostel places via a number of popular booking channels, on your website or social networks without wasting time. The hostel system proposal: automated reports and statistics data help to set up pricing policy for every season and provide special offers for the clients.
