(Measurements 18 cm -7 inches )
- 100g/3.5oz sponge fingersFor the base:
- 50g/1.7oz butter
- 1 sachet of Dr.Oetker lemon flavored jelly
- 80g/2.8oz sugar
- 300ml/10.1 fl oz water
- 100g/3.5oz Philadelphia cheese spread
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 200g/7oz heavy cream
- 1 vanilla sugar sachet
- Canned mandarins
Mix the jelly with sugar and water. Heat over stove. Don't cook! Leave aside 1/3.
Mix the Philadelphia spread with the lemon juice. Add the remaining 2/3 of the jelly.
Beat the cream and vanilla sugar. Finally combine it all.
The mandarins can also be mixed into this filling, or be left as decoration. I used canned tropical fruit.
From the sponge fingers, and butter, make a mixture and place it into the cake mold. We need more sponge fingers, I don't know how much, unfortunately. The sponge fingers are sliced in half then the sliced part is turned downwards so you can make a ring around the cake. When we mix this with the sponge fingers, we shake out the filling.
Keep the cake for a couple of hours in the fridge.

During this retreat in the beautiful heart of Ibiza, you will increase your sense of harmony, joy, and love along with a wealth of new information that will integrate seamlessly into your individual yoga and pranayama practice back at home. This retreat has the energy to settle your mind, take it away from worldly distractions, and enter a place of peace and happiness. Come to Ibiza and make real changes.
During this retreat, you will stay either in a private or shared room at one of YogaRosa buildings. The buildings in the spacious retreat property have a classic Ibiza style, simple and elegant stone houses. The two swimming pools, one with fresh water and the other with salt water, are situated in two forest clearings. The accommodation room options are in Finca Casa Blanca, Casa Piedra, and El Nido. All options include cleaning service, Wi-Fi, and the pool area in front with lounge area, sun beds, and shades.
This option has three bedrooms where two are Casa Blanca Triplex and the remaining room is the Casa Blanca Deluxe. Both types of rooms share a large living room and have a small kitchen fully equipped with a refrigerator and a television.
Casa Blanca Triplex features two bedrooms with a bathroom for both. In this suite, there is a queen-sized bed and a king-sized bed in each room. Casa Blanca Deluxe on the other side, has one bedroom, its own bathroom, and a terrace.
Casa Piedra is a suite with a large living room and a large kitchen in classical Mediterranean style. It also features a television and Wi-Fi. El Nido is a double room studio with a private bathroom and a small lounge in the same building as Casa Piedra.
Fast internet access and flat-screen televisions with international channels may be provided upon request for no additional cost. There is also a wide range of facilities includes a stunning wooden outdoor yoga platform, different meditation paths, sun loungers, hammocks, relaxing and lovingly furnished lounge and meditation areas, a sculpture garden, a lovely kitchen garden and a large communal table.
Peace and solitude are offered in this holistic outdoor setting to make you experience the healing properties of YogaRosa retreat in Ibiza. Also, the idyllic place is shared by two horses, four dogs, ducks, chickens, two miniature pigs, birds, lizards, rabbits, and occasionally a peacock.
During this retreat, you will enjoy daily yoga classes and meditation practices guided by experienced yoga instructor Rosa. She will guide you to deepen your practice and give revealing insights into the mechanisms of your body through a healing combination of yoga asana flow, pranayama, meditation, and quiet reflection.
Emotions can often lead you to take unwise decisions, making life more complicated than it needs to be. Through this yoga therapy, Rosa will teach you how to become more aware of your intuitive and physical skills. Once you have discovered these skills, everyday life will become easier as you take decisions more quickly.
Also, the therapeutic flow of the asanas prevents disease by exercising and strengthening internal organs. Regular yoga practice rewires the brain for greater innovative thinking and creative expression. When these conditions are fulfilled, both intellect and intuition work at the same level and as a result, the mind is more balanced.
Every day will start with a herbal tea or a smoothie to help you cleanse your body followed by a morning yoga class on the beautiful wooden yoga deck under the pine trees. Then you will enjoy a delicious brunch before heading out to spend your free time as you wish. In the early evening, there will be a pranayama and meditation practice. The dinner will be served afterward.
This retreat also features a day of silent reflection. Since much of your energy is used to communicate with the external world, during the silent day, you will take the energy that you normally use to speak and communicate and make it available to your mind and body to repair and heal in silence.
Rosa Klein had an extensive training with Indian master Mahendra Pardeshi from Gayatri Dham Ashram. She teaches heart opening holistic yoga and meditation, which rests in the classical Indian tradition. Rosa is also initiated into the spiritual science of Kriya yoga. Through the past years, she has created a tranquil nurturing atmosphere at her beautiful hidden retreat surrounded by a fragrant pine forest in the heart of rural Ibiza. Her combination of daily healing yoga, pranayama, meditation, sound healing, quiet reflection, and a vibrant healthy diet allow you to reconnect with yourself.

Role of Epigenetics in Autoimmune DiseasesSubmit Manuscript on this topic
During human development a complex interplay of DNA elements and dynamic epigenetic processes i.e. chromatin modifications govern tissue-specific patterns of gene expression that may be stably maintained during life or may be changed when necessary. In cells of the immune system, epigenetic modifications have been implicated in disrupting immune tolerance and perpetuating autoreactive responses. For instance, it has been demonstrated that hypomethylation of DNA regulatory regions leads to overexpression of CD11a, CD40L and CD70 genes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) CD4+ T cells and miR-30a plays a crucial role in B cell hyperactivity in SLE. Moreover, demethylation of IL-6 promoter causes the over-expression of IL-6 in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) during Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Additionally, hypomethylation of CXCL12 loci in RA synovial fibroblasts, induces the overproduction of matrix metalloproteinases leading to joint destruction. Overall, several recent studies have uncovered the role of epigenetic changes in autoimmune diseases such as SLE, RA and Type I diabetes. In line with this, it has been proposed that therapeutic alteration of epigenetic patterns that corrects disease-specific epigenetic changes, such as miRNA targeting with small molecules and increasing DNA methylation, could be employed in the treatment of these immunological diseases.
Recent technological advancements have allowed considerable progress in understanding the role played by epigenetic mechanisms in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Since epigenetic changes are not detectable at the DNA sequence level, epigenome mapping, which explores genome-wide chromatin modification patterns, may help in discovering disease-causing genes and in developing novel diagnostic and treatment strategies. For example, it has been shown that distinct patterns of methylation are associated with specific cancer types, have prognostic value, and can help in suggesting the most favorable treatment. Genome-wide DNA methylation studies have also allowed for the identification of methylation changes in disease-causing genes in the most widely studied autoimmune diseases such as SLE, Systemic sclerosis and RA.
One of the large-scale epigenome mapping methods is bisulfite sequencing that is used to obtain high-resolution methylation profiles. The broad spectrum of possible applications of this technique not only include the study of tumor development but also of autoimmune diseases. Indeed, the application of Bisulfite sequencing to Type I diabetes has uncovered disease-associated epigenetic variation that antedates disease diagnosis. Moreover, in RA synovial cells, it was shown that specific methylation, which downregulates the expression of DR‐3 protein, favors resistance to apoptosis. In T cells of SLE patients, bisulfite sequencing has helped in detection of demethylation state of regions flanking the ITGAL promoter that could lead to increased LFA‐1 expression, which alone has been shown to cause a lupus‐like disease.
In this Research Topic, we welcome Original Research articles, Reviews, and Methods that apply modern technical approaches to study the role of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and to identify new potential therapeutic strategies. We specially aim to cover:
(1) Next-generation sequencing (NGS) both for genome-wide and targeted analysis to detect susceptibility loci in autoimmune diseases.
(2) Approaches to identify genes and epigenetic markers (risk variants) associated with autoimmune diseases and corresponding drug treatments.
(3) Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) and Bisulfite sequencing to study the epigenetic mechanisms underlying the development of autoimmune diseases.
(4) Single cell transcriptome analysis integrated to single-cell NGS for the analysis of epigenetic transcriptional correlations that can determine susceptibility to autoimmune diseases.
(5) Network analysis of combined gene, lncRNA, and miRNA expression profiles for the identification of epigenetic mechanisms that play a role in the autoimmune disease pathogenesis.

Certain kinds of crime are more and more being perpetrated throughout nationwide borders and require a unified neighborhood or worldwide reaction to strive against them. Transnational legal legislation covers either the foreign treaty tasks which require States to introduce particular great measures into their family felony legislation schemes, and an allied procedural size interested in the articulation of inter-state cooperation in pursuit of the alleged transnational criminal.
The Routledge instruction manual of Transnational felony legislation offers a entire evaluation of the process that's designed to control pass border crime. The booklet seems on the background and improvement of the method, asking questions as to the imperative function and effectiveness of transnational legal legislations because it presently stands. The publication brings jointly specialists within the box, either students and practitioners, with a view to provide unique and forward-looking analyses of the major components of the transnational felony legislations.
The ebook is divided into numerous elements for ease of reference:
- Fundamental suggestions surrounding the overseas legislation of transnational crime.
- Procedures for overseas cooperation opposed to alleged transnational criminals together with jurisdiction, police cooperation, asset restoration and extradition.
- Substantive crimes coated by way of transnational felony legislations analysing the present criminal provisions for every crime.
- The implementation of transnational felony legislations and the effectiveness of the method of transnational legal law.
With chapters from over 25 specialists within the box, this guide might be a useful reference paintings for pupil and teachers and for coverage makers with an curiosity in transnational legal law.

Are there another circumstances the place the subsection can have a few chew? What of a kingdom that now adopts a 'pure' type of common jurisdiction instead of the 'fallback' model required via the conference, which will depend on presence? forty six Does the wider precept of The Lotus nonetheless reign? Does that get a lift from the saving provision? Is all authorized until it really is forbidden? Or is paragraph four in basic terms senseless repetition of previous language? forty seven Enforcement jurisdiction some of the nineteenth-century suppression treaties are fascinating for a way during which they separate prescriptive jurisdiction from enforcement jurisdiction. hence, the anti-slave exchange treaties that groovy Britain entered into with many different avid gamers in Europe,48 the Americas49 or even Africa50 frequently required the events to enact penal laws on a nationality or flag country foundation to suppress the alternate. at the enforcement entrance, in spite of the fact that, both celebration may perhaps take enforcement measures to loose the slaves yet had to hand the slave investors over to the flag or nationwide kingdom for felony processing. fifty one i've got written in other places approximately how this trend performs out within the Submarine Cables conference of 1884. fifty two Thieves, vandals and idiots who harm or scouse borrow submarine cables will be topic to flag kingdom jurisdiction, with nationality jurisdiction as a fallback. Any celebration to the treaty may well help in enforcement motion. fifty three yet outdoor the flag or nationality connection, the opposite events haven't any prescriptive or adjudicative jurisdiction. due to the extradite-or-prosecute provisions in smooth suppression treaties, this sharing of roles could be no longer so stark. however, there are major enforcement provisions within the modern treaties, that are mirrored within the Beijing conference. therefore Article nine presents: 1. Upon being chuffed that the situations so warrant, any kingdom celebration within the territory of which the criminal or alleged criminal is current, shall take that individual into custody or take different measures to make sure that person's presence. The custody and different measures can be as supplied within the legislations of that nation yet may well basically be persisted for such time as is important to let any felony or extradition court cases to be instituted. 2. Such nation shall instantly make a initial enquiry into the proof. three. anybody in custody pursuant to paragraph 1 of the item will be assisted in speaking instantly with the closest applicable consultant of the country of which that individual is a countrywide. four. whilst a country occasion, pursuant to this text, has taken an individual into custody, it shall instantly notify the States events that have tested jurisdiction less than paragraph 1 of Article 854 and validated jurisdiction and notified the Depositary lower than subparagraph (a) of paragraph four of Article 2155 and, if it considers it really useful, the other States of the truth that such individual is in custody and of the conditions which warrant that person's detention.

And it'll leave you speechless.
Lady Gaga will make you cry – and help thousands of people – with her new song.
After several low-quality leaks, the final version of Lady Gaga's heartbreaking ballad "Till It Happens To You" has premiered today (Aug. 19).
The emotionally charged song, co-written by Diane Warren, was used for the "The Hunting Ground," a 2015 documentary film about the sexual abuse that occurs on college campuses.
The singer's vocal performance is extraordinary on the piano-led ballad, even more so than usual as the subject of sexual abuse is one that is, tragically, close to her heart.
In an interview with Howard Stern last December, the pop superstar admitted that she was a victim of **** several years ago, while in the music industry.
"I went through some horrific things. I'm able to laugh now because I've gone through a lot of mental, physical and emotional therapy to heal over the years."
She said she was a shell of her former self years later after reflecting. "It happens every day and it's really scary and sad," Gaga continued. "It didn't affect me as much right after as it did about four or five years later." Her reason for not calling out her attacker? "I wasn't even willing to admit that anything had even happened. I don't want to be defined by it."
"Till It Happens To You" is a brilliantly-written ballad and its painful message only hits home harder when the singer's own experiences are considered.
Gaga has always been more than capable to write and perform ballads ("Speechless," "Yoü and I") but this song might be the first one that can inspire, help and change lives.

Life is all about what you make of it. One can find out what one wants and get anything even if it gets tough. There are many things in life that one cannot figure out, but that simply does not matter.
Esther Jackson, a 19-year-old Nigerian expatriate, believes that one can get what one wants in life through dedication and hard, work no matter what difficulties are hardships we face in life.
Esther, who is fast establishing her feet as a model in Qatar, has been selected to participate in the Miss Global pageant that is going to be held in Mexico in January. Miss Global is an annual global beauty pageant for single women ages 18–35, the widest age range in pageantry. Contestants compete for the crown of Miss Global on an international platform. In February 2019, Miss Global held its 7th anniversary pageant in Manila, Philippines, which attracted more than 60 female contestants from 60 countries around the world.
In a recent talk with Community, the young model, who is facing financial impediments to make it to Mexico next year, spoke about her dreams of representing both Nigeria and Qatar at the international platform.
Esther, who has been living in Qatar for 11 years with her parents, is a student of business management. "My father is an engineer and my mother is a teacher. I have a younger sister and a younger brother. I will soon be attending a university programme for business management. I am going to represent my countries Nigeria and Qatar in the contest. Qatar is my second home. I will be more than happy to represent Qatar. I think I am the first Nigerian girl to take part in the beauty pageant from Qatar."
The promising model is excited to represent her country at the contest. "It will provide me the opportunity to highlight what my country is capable of. Basically, the people will learn about my country. Girls from different countries will contest for the crown. I was accepted by the organisers as they said that I would be a very good candidate for Nigeria after they went through my profile. This is going to be my first beauty contest."
Esther finds the Miss Global contest different from other international beauty pageants. "It is in the same concept. But, the Miss Global is different because they just do not want to know if you are beautiful and intelligent, they want to know your heart. They want to know you as a person from a specific country."
The Nigeria girl always wanted to be in the line of beauty and fashion. "My motivation behind attending the contest is not just to show how beautiful I am. The contest is all about you as a person – how you are able to function as a person and help others. My biggest motivation has been to be able to help other people."
She believes that being a part of the beauty contest will help her in knowing herself. "It will definitely help me figure out some missing parts of myself. I am growing and I still need to learn. I still need to explore different things. Being a young contestant, I think the pageant will help me know what I need to do to achieve certain things."
Her participation, Esther thinks, will support Nigeria and Qatar in many ways. "I just want to show my fellow country people that you can find out what you want. You can do anything, even if life is tough for you. Of course, life is not a perfect thing. I just want to show the people that if you want to get something, you will be there. Even if you fail, it does not matter. Failure is just a push for you towards further gains. I want to show that things might be hard in Nigeria but you can still achieve anything. Life is all about the way you make it."
The model also praised Victor Ikoli, President of Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation, saying her community had really pushed and helped her.
Talking to Community, Victor said: "She has great talent. She has passion for modelling. The community is ready to extend every kind of support she needs.
"Indirectly, she is an ambassador of Qatar as well. We call on corporate organisations to come forward and support such kind of young talented people."

Life With Wee People: Well... That Totally Whomps... (So Much For Early...)
No good deed goes unpunished. Seriously... I have been up since 4 AM dealing with Stephen, the Minion Blur. He was irritable, cranky, didn't sleep well (and peed on me twice). That translates into not feeling well because when he whines and moans (and deliberately aims it at you) he wants your undivided attention.
Shorty demanding lots of affection and attention in super-needy mode is a dead giveaway I am going to have major issues... I don't want to have issues. I want to paint. I want to clean. I need to go to the store and buy food because the boys have been plowing through the food as if it is not supposed to be there. Sometimes, I really believe they think stocking reserves is offensive (LOL). I had a case of juice in the closet and they got all bent out of shape, like Mom's have to figure out a way to cram it into the fridge. Dump the chicken in the garbage if you have to, toss the eggs down the chute if you must but juice boxes must be cold... They are serious about their snack-age. If I cut their apples wrong I get attitude. :-)
So I'm thinking, "Yay! First day back to school." Break is over. We'll take our showers, hit the 24 hour diner, grab some silver dollar pancakes, maple syrup and turkey sausages with apple juice. It's a fave breakfast meal of the shorties at a great spot with lots of parking minutes from the house. The boys are in a good mood so when Step started drinking out of everyone's juice glass I didn't think much of it. It's what he does...
Then he says the magic words like a breathless, tentative question: "Pee pee?"
I am thinking, "OMG - how much time do I have?" He's got that deer in the headlight look like the thought surprised him. We're going to school in 20 minutes. We're supposed to be early. He's potty training in regular undies and I don't have a change of clothes in the car for him. He drank significant portions out of three large glasses of apple juice and now he has to pee. I know he is serious because he is climbing over Noah to go with me to the bathroom. I stand up to help him.
Too late.
Dude pees on his brother.
We're looking at each other shocked. It's an accident. His lip starts to quiver and I am thinking, "Okay. We'll take this home. We're minutes from the house... Quick change. Not a problem." I take garbage bags I use for my open houses from the trunk and put them on their seats and off we go. We leave the food on the table because we have to make the highway after this. I'm thinking, "Not too bad, we have time."
We're standing in the elevator. Noah passes gas. He looks horrified. I'm thinking, "Noooooo... it can't be..."
Yup. It is. The light-bulb goes off with my 3 year old. Stephen looks up at Noah and proudly chirps, "Pee pee?" Then he grins a big cool aid smile because in his mind they have something in common. They've gone in public.
Poor Noah looks absolutely crushed. His lips start moving but the words wont come. I feel bad for them both. I tell him it's okay because now I'm feeling kinda bubbly and unsettled myself. In the shower they go. Quick rinse, new clothes and I'm thinking, "We can do this," because they don't feel warm. Stephen starts yelling while I come into the bathroom with a towel to carry him out. Shorty says, "No."
He grabs his potty seat, hops on the toilet, promptly squats then goes with very interesting sound effects.
They both have the runs.
My day is over... I am doomed to Nicktoons, YouTube and washing underwear for the rest of the day all because Noah wanted Rice and Broccoli for diner.
How do I know it was the Chinese food?
Guess what I am about to do... Yup. You got it.
Bummer... It was really good food and I had relaxing Monday morning plans that did NOT include the wee people underfoot until this afternoon. Poor Stephen is curled up in the fetal position with his shoes in my bed. Watching him not bounce off the walls is very disconcerting.

Born-Again Man confesses
I've enjoyed reading the cross-debate between MIT Pro-Life and the various people who disagree with them. Here's a recap of the recent debate in case you're just tuning in.
Two issues ago, The Tech received a copy of a letter to Arnold N. Weinberg, head of the MIT Medical Department. The letter requested rebates of the portion of MIT health insurance money being used to fund abortions, for those who wish them. This was a repeat of a request from last February. It was lengthy but intelligent and well-written. More importantly, it was signed by 112 people.
Then, last issue, Tech Managing Editor Daniel A. Sidney G wrote a column in response. It was intelligent, succinct, and very convincing. The Graduate Student Council then announced that it will be discussing a proposal to prevent the abortion rebates from starting.
Now, in this very issue, you can see two more letters to the editor, one for the abortion rebate, one against. Both are very well argued, but it seems to me that we've come to an impasse in the debate.
I agree with MIT Pro-Life, at least, to a certain degree. I think the only problem with the group's proposal is that they don't go far enough. They only try to tackle one topic, abortion. What they ignore is that, there are other issues which cause moral dilemmas.
I'm willing to throw my support to Pro-Life, providing that they are willing to back me on an issue which causes me a grand moral dilemma. This issue, ugly as it may be, is gynecology.
I haven't had a gynecological exam in years. No, I'm not ashamed to admit this. In fact, I'm proud. I suppose there are many men among us who have had gynecological exams, but are still ashamed of it. I hold it up proudly as a symbol of my newfound masculinity that I have overcome the temptation of a gynecological examination. Yes, I am a born-again Man.
There are some of you men out there who continue to sin against your manhood. I can see you now, slipping in to some obscure ob/gyn office to have a quick exam with a doctor, hoping the guys back home won't find out somehow.
You probably feel a deep, hidden shame about your secret desire to slip on one of those tasteful robes and undergo a full exam. Well, brothers, I understand. I've been there, and it wasn't pretty.
Now that I've been a born-again Man for a few years, I can talk about those days of hedonism. So I suppose you can imagine my intense anger at being told that a portion of my MIT insurance money is going to fund gynecological examinations!
I am a man. I am proud to be a man, and I stand by all the principles of manhood. As a man, I am opposed to any man, including myself, having a gynecological exam.
Naturally I wouldn't try to impose these beliefs on any other group. I mean, how could you possibly take a belief of your own and impose it on all other groups like that? It would be terrible to do. So if people who believe in the tenets of womanhood (i.e., women) want to continue to have gynecological examinations, I will not object.
However, I want an optional refund of that portion of MIT insurance money which goes toward gynecological exams. I do not have such exams, and I disagree with the concept of men having them.
I consider the idea of men having a gynecological exam akin to medieval torture, or even murder. (You draw the mental picture yourself.) I cannot condone such activities and want that portion of my money back.
I can hear the abortion opponents now. "Wait," they'll cry, "gynecological exams are not akin to the murder of an abortion!"
"Oh, yeah," I answer, "well, any man who has had one will tell you, it's murder! Hell, most women will tell you that
it's murder. So there you go."
A plan similar to this existed for many years
at all-male universities without inducing "chaos." Then, of course, we had to be fair and right and all that stuff and let women have an equal opportunity. So now we are left with the bitter debate about whether we should all pay for the gynecology of the minority.
So, MIT Pro-Life, carry on with your brave quest. I wish you luck in your struggle and I hope you will help me with mine. I also promise that I will give you much more "help," such as this column, should the fight continue.
Tech Associate Opinion Editor Bill Jackson '93 has already destroyed the negatives of all the existing photos showing him in compromising gynecological positions.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Three adults are all recovering Wednesday morning following overnight shootings across the city of Memphis.
The first happened just after midnight at Southern Avenue and Lundee Place in East Memphis.
The two victims told police they were driving when the two suspects, whom they know, walked into the road and shot at them. Both were hit and taken to Regional Medical Center in critical condition.
Police have not arrested anyone yet.
Less than 15 minutes later, officers responded to a shooting outside Ralph's Bar and Grill on Millbranch near Holmes Road.
One victim was taken to the hospital from that scene, also in critical condition.
The victim told police an unknown suspect said he saw him trying to break into his RV in the parking lot, and then the suspect shot him.
Police arrested Herbert Sykes for this shooting. He's charged with attempted first-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
WREG was originally told a juvenile was taken to Le Bonheur Children's hospital after a shooting at the Autumnwood Apartments, but we have since learned the child was not shot.
According to reports, a suspect involved in a domestic dispute opened fire on a car with the child and an adult female were inside.
Somehow the child fell out of the car and was run over.
The child's condition has not been released.
If you can help, call Crime Stoppers at (901) 528-CASH.

Ayra is now REHOMED.
Ayra is a wonderful little girl who loves being around people and other dogs and is really fun to have around. She enjoys playing in the garden, but is also just as happy to cuddle up with her humans on the sofa. Clean and quiet on the home she loves to play with other dogs and has great potential for further training. She is currently undergoing lead training and still requires reassurance as she's still quite nervous with new experiences out of the home. She would like an active family home with another playful dog for company.
Ayra is currently sporting a rather severe haircut as she was extremely matted on arrival to us and we had no choice but to completely remove her coat for her own well being, so please note that this breed does require regular grooming, so make sure you take these costs into consideration before submitting an application.
2 year old Ayra is speyed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated.
If you are interested in offering Ayra home, please complete our online Adoption Form
All home offers are subject to vetting and a home visit, and an adoption agreement and donation are required.

JConsole allows you to see inside your Java application while it's running. To do this you need to install the correct plumbing code, but we'll show you how.
Keeping tabs on how your Java applications are performing got a whole lot easier in Java2 5.0 with the arrival of JConsole and JMX 1.2 as standard. JMX — Java Management Extensions — are nothing new; they appeared first as the result of JSR 3 back in 1999, aiming to create a universal framework for monitoring and managing Java applications.
When an application is run with JMX enabled, a JMX Agent process is activated within the JVM to manage JMX requests. JMX clients can then locate and connect to the JMX Agent and query it for the available management resources. JMX was later complemented with the JMX Remote API (JSR 160) which allowed for remote clients to access the JMX Agent. The JMX Remote API includes access control and SSL support which makes it secure enough for use in production.
JMX is one of those technologies that you'd only go and look at if you already knew you needed it, and as you usually had to craft your own management client, the usability curve was somewhat steep. That changed with the arrival of JConsole, a fully fledged JMX client, for plugging into the JMX framework.
Straight In
As a developer, you'll be wanting the quickest way to get started with JConsole. The first stage is to activate the JMX Agent on your application. Local connections are the simplest to configure and use. To make the JVM manageable, you add
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote to your Java
command line;
java -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote WatchMe.jar
WatchMe is a simple example application we'll be using in this article, and we'll look inside it later.
In another window, run JConsole. You'll find that in the
bin directory of your
JAVA_HOME directory; so on
Windows it would typically be
Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\bin\jconsole.exe. When JConsole
runs it brings up the new connection window. There are three
tabs, but we're only interested in the "Local" tab. All
monitorable Java VMs are displayed with the process id; select
WatchMe and connect to it. JConsole will now display its
summary view.
The Summary view gives you:
- Times — Uptime, cpu time and compile time (that's time spent in the JIT compiler)
- Threads — Counts of live threads, daemon threads, the number of threads started and the peak number of running threads
- Memory — Heap sizes, objects awaiting finalisation and garbage collector statistics
- Classes — Counts of the number of classes loaded and unloaded
- Operating System — Amount of memory the available in the operating system, free memory and virtual memory
Threads, Memory and Classes have more in-depth data available through the tabs at the top of the window. Let's start with Memory;
On the Memory view, you can get a graph of memory usages, and view down into specific parts of the allocation system. The multiple level meters in the lower right are an at a glance view of how the various pools within that allocation system are being used. Note the "Perform GC" button which allows you to get the monitored application to do a garbage collection.
On the Threads View, you can see a graph of the thread usage over time. Below that is a list of live threads which you can select to get details of current execution state. If you have a lot of threads, the Filter field lets you cut down the displayed threads.
The Classes view is just a graph of the number of classes loaded, with a combobox to let you select the time range for the loading stats.
There are two more tabs in the JConsole dialog; the VM tab and the MBeans tab.
The VM tab gives details about the Java VM you are viewing, including class path, command line flags, host CPU type and other OS statistics.
Finally, there's the MBeans tab, and this is where the real
power lies. MBeans are the core of the JMX framework, the
route to managing and monitoring your own applications. For
any class you want to to manage, you create a matching MBean
which defines the management interface. In the WatchMe
example, we have a class which needs monitoring,
WatchMeBean.java. Now this is a simple class
which has a counter which increments every second or whenever
incCount method is invoked. There's also a
reset method which sets the count to zero.
WatchMeBean also has a message string. What we
would like to expose to management is the current value of the
count, the message and the ability to reset the counter.
For this, we need to create an
MBean and here
it is:
public interface WatchMeBeanMBean { public int getCount(); public String getMsg(); public void setMsg(String msg); public void reset(); }It is an interface, rather than a class, encapsulating the methods which we want JMX to consider as the management API. The
MBean interface has to be named, case
sensitively, as the name of the class to be managable with
MBean appended, hence, to monitor
the MBean is
WatchMeBeanMBean; one to watch out
for when you are refactoring an application with MBeans. A
Simple MBean follows the classic JavaBean naming strategy of
having get/set methods.
MBeans need to be registered with the MBeanServer; this is
an Agent which handles the external clients connecting to the
JMX framework. In
WatchMe.java, we set this
private MBeanServer mbs=null; public WatchMe() { mbs=ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
getPlatformMBeanServer() call creates and
returns the
MBeanServer which is also responsible
for the JVM memory and thread information we saw earlier. Once
we have the MBeanServer, we can register a class instance with
it. First we create our WatchMeBean and start it in its own
wmb=new WatchMeBean(); Thread t=new Thread(wmb); t.start();Now, you may have many instances of the same class which you may want to manage. To discriminate between them, you create an
ObjectName. This is made up of two
parts, a domain and a list of attributes. Here we have a
domain "WatchMeBean" and a name attribute set to "watchme".
We'll see those names later. Once we have an
ObjectName, we can register the bean with the
try { ObjectName myname=new ObjectNameOn registration, reflection is used to identify the matching
("WatchMeBean:name=watchme"); mbs.registerMBean(wmb,myname); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
WatchMeBeanMBean interface (which is why getting
the MBean name right is important). And that's it. You now
have a monitorable bean.
It is at this point we can return to JConsole and have a look under the MBeans tab.
The MBeans tab shows all the MBeans registered with the
server. The first level children reflect the domain name set
in the
ObjectName when the MBeans were
JMImplementation contains MBeans for
the JMX agent itself, "java.lang" contains the MBeans which
provided all the VM statistics you see in the other tabs. You
should also see
WatchMeBean, the domain we
WatchMeBean with. Within that is an
MBean by the name of "watchme", from the name attribute in the
ObjectName. When you select an MBean, the right
hand side of the JConsole window shows four tabs. The first
tab is the attributes view.
In the example we have the
Count field.
Because the
WatchMeBeanMBean only has a get
method for
Count, this is a read only attribute.
If you click on the value field for
Count, you
can get a dynamically updated graph of its value over
We also have the
Msg field, which is
highlighted in blue to show it's a read/write attribute; it
has a get and a set method. You can click on the value field
and change the message. This, through the
MBeanServer and the
MBean interface,
calls the
setMsg() method. Try changing it and
you'll see it updated in the WatchMe window.
If you want to be sure you are looking at the right instance of the class, you can use the Info tab, which displays the name and class of the MBean you are looking at:
There is only one method left in the
WatchMeBeanMBean unaccounted for;
reset. You can find that under the Operations
As it doesn't conform to a property getter/setter, the reset method is regarded as an operation, allowing you to expose management control methods to JConsole. The example reset method doesn't have any parameters, but JConsole can handle operations with parameters. If you click on the reset button, you'll see WatchMe's count drop back to 0.
So what we have with the combination of JMX and JConsole is a quick easy way to expose the internals of your application. JConsole isn't the only application that can access the MBeans within the application, you can write your own JMX clients after using JConsole to prototype and test the management functions in your application. JConsole can also connect to multiple applications simultaneously. Next month, we'll look at securely connecting to remote applications and the other kinds of MBeans you can use to make your management API more dynamic.
If you can't wait for that, check out Sun's JMX overview which has links out to JMX related resources.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – Police are alerting people who used credit cards at a local gas station about the potential theft of their card numbers via skimming devices*.
The Russellville Police Department (RPD) posted details on its Facebook page Thursday morning.
The RPD says an investigation is underway involving skimming devices that were found on fuel pumps at the Exxon station at State Hwy. 7 and I-40.
Police say the devices were found inside the gas pumps by maintenance personnel during a routine check of the equipment.
'At this point in the investigation, it is not clear if any information was obtained by the suspect(s) from these skimming devices, but we do ask that anyone who purchased fuel by means of a debit/ credit card between the dates of August 18 through August 29 to monitor their bank accounts for any fraudulent activity. We also ask any local businesses that sell fuel to inspect their fuel pumps for these devices.
If anyone notices fraudulent activity on their bank accounts as a result of this incident or has information pertaining to this crime, please contact the Russellville Police Department at (479) 968-3232. More details will be released when it becomes available," the RPD Facebook post stated.
*A credit card skimming device is a piece of electronics that is used to secretly obtain credit/ debit card information for fraudulent use at a later date.

User Guide. 3D Models and 3D Software by Daz 3D. Poses from DAZ to Blender. The biggest gap in the DAZ Studio to Blender workflow for some time has been that it's very hard to bring poses and animations over.
Blender doesn't support the FBX format for licensing reasons and none of the third party FBX importers are ready for prime time, the .obj format doesn't support armatures at all and, for some reason, and none of the other export options can be imported by Blender except Collada. In the past, my Collada exports that included animations wouldn't open, or would open without the pose/animation data. That left you with having to use the very buggy BVH exporter in DAZ Studio and then mapping the two armatures with bone contraints, which was time consuming and a pain and not worth the time - easier just to recreate the pose in Blender. 3D Celebrity Look-alikes for DAZ Studio & Poser. 3D Celebrity Look-alikes for DAZ Studio & Poser Previous 1 2 3 … 28 Next Chloe Grace Moretz - Sabrina Blinker V4-Elite-S4 SOTO's Vincent for The Freak 4 - Ron Perlman's Vincent.

To import a DAZ character with its rig and skinning to Blender, no problem, the Collada format works very well between the 2, especially since version 2.6 (before it used to crash on me on a regular basis…). The problems start when you want to import poses from DAZ to Blender. The Collada format does not import (or export, I don't know at which step the information is lost) poses or animations.
How to transfer rigging without being in zero position? - DAZ Forums. Transferring Morphs from Genesis to G2M/G2F and from G2M/G2F to Genesis (Now with Clones!). Works on - DAZ Forums. As currently I have no desire to buy G2F Morphs and with Genesis 2 offering such small functionality, comparatively to my morph collection of two years, I started to wonder if I can transfer Genesis morphs to Genesis 2 Female in order to give her some morphability.
Turned to be I can and although the result might be not 100% precise (I have no Gen-X utility to check that process on Gen 4-to-Genesis variation) and drastic morphs will need Bone Adjustment and ERC freeze it worked pretty well for basic human unisex morphs like Pear and Stocky. ERC Freeze in DS 4.7: it looks like when you do ERC freeze after bone adjustment, you'd need to select 'Restore Figure Rigging' now (previously it had to be left unchecked) Update: there are four more tutorials below that allow to transfer any morph (not only unisex) from Genesis to G2F but they are somewhat more complex.

III - Textures, Surfaces and Materials [Documentation Center] The Wonderful World of Color 3.1 - Introduction In many 3D applications, when a model is created, by default that model will be a single color - usually gray.
A real world analog to this would be sculpting in clay. When a clay sculpture is created the color of the sculpture is the color of the clay. It is only after the artist paints or glazes the sculpture that it takes on a unique color. Note: Most models purchased from DAZ 3D will load with a texture applied to them. Chapter 3 is devoted entirely to the surface of your model. 3.2 - Surfaces Before we jump into the process of applying textures to your figure there are a few concepts we will cover as a foundation. A "Surface" is a specific subsection of the 3D model, a group of specific polygons, that share common properties to describe what the surface of the model looks like. Note: You can view a complete list of a model's surfaces in the Surfaces pane. The concept may be easier to visualize with an example.

Beware of investment scams
Investment scams are increasing in Australia. In 2016, the number of investment scams reported to Scamwatch increased by 40% from the previous year, according to the ACCC's Targeting Scams report. These scams typically involve getting you or your business to part with money on the promise of a questionable financial opportunity. Here we identify common scams and how you can protect yourself.
1. Investment cold calls
A scammer claims to be a stock broker or portfolio manager calls you and offers financial or investments advice. They claim what they're offering is low-risk and will provide you with quick and high returns, or encourage you to invest in overseas companies. The scammer's offer will sound legitimate and they may have resources to back up their claims. They will be persistent, and may keep calling you back.
The investments offered in these types of cold calls are usually share, mortgage, or real estate high-return schemes, options trading or foreign currency trading. The scammer is operating from overseas, and will not have an Australian Financial Services licence.
2. Share promotions
The scammer encourages you to buy shares in a company that they predict is about to increase in value. You may be contacted by email or the message will be posted in a forum. The message will seem like an inside tip and stress that you need to act quickly. The scammer is trying to boost the price of stock so they can sell shares they have already bought, and make a huge profit. The share value will then go down dramatically.
3. Investment seminars
Investment seminars are promoted by promising motivational speakers, investment experts, or self-made millionaires who will give you 'expert' advice on investing. They're designed to convince you into following high risk investment strategies.
Promoters make money by charging you an attendance fee, selling overpriced reports or books, and by selling investments and property without letting you get independent advice. The investments on offer are generally overvalued and you may end up having to pay fees and commissions that the promoters did not tell you about. High pressure sales tactics or false and misleading claims are often used to pressure you into investing, such as guaranteed rent or discounts for buying off the plan.
Visit ASIC's MoneySmart for more information about investment seminar scams
4. Superannuation
Superannuation scams offer to give you early access to your super fund, often through a self-managed super fund or for a fee. The offer may come from a financial adviser, or a scammer posing as one. The scammer may ask you to agree to a story to ensure the early release of your money and then, acting as your financial adviser, they will deceive your superannuation company into paying out your super benefits directly to them. Once they have your money, the scammer may take large 'fees' out of the released fund or leave you with nothing at all.
Protect yourself
- Don't give your details to an unsolicited caller or reply to emails offering financial advice or investment opportunities - just hang up or delete the email.
- Be suspicious of investment opportunities that promise a high return with little or no risk.
- Check if a financial advisor is registered via the ASIC website. Any business or person that offers or advises you about financial products must be an Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence holder.
- Check ASIC's list of companies you should not deal with. If the company that called you is on the list - do not deal with them.
- Don't be pressured into making decisions about your money or investments and never commit to any investment at a seminar - always get independent legal or financial advice.
- Don't respond to emails from strangers offering predictions on shares, investment tips, or investment advice.
- If you feel an offer to buy shares might be legitimate, check the company's listing on the stock exchange for its current value and recent shares performance. Some offers to buy your shares may be well below market value.
- Never commit to any investment at a seminar - always take time to consider the opportunity and seek independent financial advice.
- If you're under 55, watch out for offers promoting easy access to your preserved superannuation benefits. If you illegally access your super early, you may face penalties under taxation law.
If you think you have provided your account details to a scammer, contact us immediately on 132 888.
We also encourage you to report scams to the ACCC via the report a scam page. This helps warn people about current scams, monitor trends and disrupt scams where possible.

Allen has put her foot in her exceptionally large mouth.
Lily Allen is facing online backlash after using the word "f*g".
The usually socially engaged Lily Allen has caused a wave of controversy after retweeting a gay publication and using of the slur word "f*gs". The British singer has been open about her distaste for Donald Trump over the past week, but took an insensitive misstep when she quoted a popular sign at the recent anti-Trump protests, which reads "F*gs hate Trump."
The "Smile" star was quoting directly from the image that Gay Times Magazine used to publicize her latest musical endeavor. For many fans on Twitter, the word was inappropriate in any context, and they took to tweeting their dissatisfaction directly at Allen, resulting in her removing the tweet.
There comes a point where we have to start to differentiate between good and bad intentions. Whilst Lily's use of the word was undoubtedly unacceptable (I full-body cringed upon reading it), she's been an excellent ally to the LGBT+ community and is currently raising important political questions and supporting the idea of equality for all. Although it seems like a given that she should apologize (at the end of the day a slur is a slur), it feels somewhat like the LGBT+ community has bigger fish to fry right now.
Check out the video that started it all – Lily Allen's politically charged cover of "Going To A Town":
Lily Allen has yet to comment.
Do you think Lily's use of the word "f*g" is acceptable? Let us know in Exhale.

Whether you like Toby Mcguire or Andrew Garfield, Movies or Comics, almost everyone has a soft spot for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! Personally, my favorite Spidey media are the original comics from the sixties. I got the first thirty from my Grandpa when I was about 5 and I have read them again and again. They were probably the most complex books that I read at the time, and they helped my want to become a writer. What is your favorite installment of Spider-Man media? Are you happy that Marvel has decided to add him into the MCU? Feel free to speak your mind on this utterly unofficial topic!
Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies were best Spider-Man movies.
Ultimate Spider-Man was the best Spider-Man game I've played.
Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a decent game that tried to be a next gen Spider-Man 2, and it gets bonus points for the 2099 costume.
I need to get the 2099 comics. Real bad.
I love Spider-Man, he's a role model for me if anything.
Can't get enough of the 90's animated series.
Sometimes I feel like Spider-Man. I wear glasses, get good grades, but also gets bullied at times, I never get any girls to like me (except for one at the moment). I also have some pretty bad luck.
If I got Spider-Man's powers, I would love to use it the way he does. Sure, it's stressful, but the world would need a person like him.
Also, I declare this official.
Hmm... I only dislike the time when Doc Oc took over spiderman's body. Had nightmares of the 90 cartoon Doc Ock as spiderman
I also liked spiderverse and all the different spider men/women
I didn't like the Doc Ock takeover, either. Seemed a bit cop-out to me, and they got rid of one of the best Spider-Man characters that way. He didn't need to die.
Seriously, Doctor Octopus is one of my favorite Spider-Man villains. I didn't like how his final chapter was executed,
I've never been that huge on Spiderman...
let's just hope that, if they're resetting the marvel universe during/some time after the 2015 summer secret wars, Doc Ock comes back. Back on topic, what's your favorite spiderman suit?
Who's my favorite suit? Don't you mean WHAT's my favorite suit?
I've always liked the classic design, personally, with the webbing under the armpits. I liked the colors Ramita put to the characters, especially for Spider-Man. It made him so bright and so unique.
I liked the black suit, as well, but for me I always preferred the ol' red and blue. It just shows how bright of a character Spider-Man is.
I think I always liked any of the simple suits, though I don't mind something in high levels of complexity
Hey guys.
The Clone Saga
Oh yeah, Ben Reiley and Kane.
I miss the clones other then Ultimate spiderman's Jessica Dew
Eh. Clone Saga. Not a big fan of it.
I didn't really hate the clone saga or Superior Spider-Man that much.
come at me bro.
hey guys, how about spider-verse
Clone Saga, and One More Day are worse than trash.
Most adaptations of the comics are cool, though.
I refuse to read anything after OMD happened.
Yeah, some of Spidey's modern comics are not nearly as good as the original.
Not really, I don't really like Spidey, that much. He's a cool character, I guess, just not my cup of liquid. Although I did like the Mcguire movies when I was little.
So if my Booster Gold topic was an appreciation topic instead would it still have been closed at the time that it was? Just wondering, not saying I'm going to make a new topic
Anyway, other than Ultimate Spider Man, the webslinger has a pretty good track record for animated series.
I have PTSD cause of that show. May and Coulson together was...disturbing. On SO many levels.
