Suhr Classic Antique Pro HSS Finish Over Finish Limited
The Classic Antique Finish Over Finish Limited Edition was inspired by the sought after well-weathered paint jobs found on vintage instruments of an era gone by. According to popular belief, there are two opinions of how these finishes actually originated. The first idea is that a solid color was applied to conceal a finish that was either damaged or flawed during the production process. The second is that since sunburst was standard on instruments made during that era, the factory would apply a secondary top coat to the original finish whenever a customer requested a custom color. Each Classic Antique Finish Over Finish is accurately painted to recreate these unique finishes by applying a solid thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish over a 3-tone burst, and then carefully aged to expose the two distinct finishes. Limited to only 200 instruments worldwide. The Classic Antique Pro HSS comes shipped with original box, G&G hardshell case, and spec sheet(spec sheet available upon request) Free Shipping only applies within the continental USA.

There is no best recording of Mozart's Requiem, there are only personal favorites (mine is the one from Malgoire, I have always found it comforting and satisfying, don't ask me why).
There is however, as of the end of October, the most important recording of the Requiem, Harmonia Mundi's release with René Jacobs leading the Freiburger Barockorchester, the RIAS Kammerchor, and singers Sophie Karthäuser, Marie-Claude Chappuis, Maximilian Schmitt, and Johannes Weisser.
This may become my favorite, and yours–Jacobs is the greatest contemporary Mozart interpreter, in his own universe entirely, and this is as beautifully played and sung as one would expect. What Jacobs gets out of his musicians is a palpable sense of character and drama and the feeling that all the tempos, rhythms, and phrases are being played with perfect logic. And there is the pure loveliness of the singers, and ravishing warmth from the musicians.
What makes this important is that it is truly new Mozart, a careful, learned, and accomplished editing and recomposing of the standard Süssmayr edition, done by contemporary composer Pierre-Henri Dutton and finished in 2016.
The story of how the Requiem came down to us is evocative enough to produce plays and movies. What is left out, of Amadeus in particular, is how the Requiem came to be.
When the composer died on December 5, 1791, the only completed movement was the Introit. From there through the Hostias, there were vocal line and some orchestration and figured bass marked. Even this was fragmented–there were only eight bars to the Lacrimosa. In normative circumstances, we would expect an unfinished work to remain just that at a composer's death. There was no fascination with Mozart as a genius, no drive to bring his unfinished works to posterity.
There was money, though, the money that Mozart's wife Constanze, with a second child on the way, now owed to creditors. To get the full commission, the Requiem had to be finished, and it had to look like Mozart finished it, which in the late 18th century meant that the handwriting had to be a close enough match. As Dutron points out in his detailed and informative notes, there was very little to go on as a basis to finish the piece.
Three composers (possibly four) had a hand in producing the version most commonly heard, Mozart's student Franz Jacob Freystädtler, followed by Joseph Leopold Eybler, then finally Franz Xaver Süssmayr. Süssmayr was not a student of Mozart's but he had helped with the recitatives of La clemenza di Tito, and did some copying for Die Zauberflöte (Mozart apparently had a low opinion of Süssmayr). He finished the orchestration, and, from scratch, wrote the Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Dei. That was the score that completed the commission and earned Madame Mozart a precious 25 ducats.
That is also the score that mixes great music from Mozart, with brilliant counterpoint and vocal ensembles at the level of his great achievements in Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni with the totally ordinary, stiff music of Süssmayr.
Using the great advantage of historical insight and hindsight, Dutron has drastically improved what we are used to hearing. His comments on his own work are fascinating:
Admittedly, my work does lay claim to a form of historical truth, and I set myself a rule of constant vigilance, testing each avenue I explored with meticulous research. Yet to take rigour as my sole guide would have led me to avoid taking risks and obliged me to be overcautious. I must therefore acknowledge that the work I have done contains an irreducible element of arbitrariness…
Technically, Dutron reorchestrated the unfinished, and heavily rewrote Süssmayr's contributions, producing a score he calls Süssmayr Extended heard on this release (there is another version, Mozart Extended, where Dutron wrote his own versions of the missing movements, but it is unheard here).
The result is unquestionably better than what we've had for centuries. While not quite Mozart, it is far more fluid, subtle, sophisticated, and beautiful than what Süssmayr wrought. In particular, the harmonies of the Allegro cadences in the Sanctus and Benedictus are absolutely sublime and with a tang of modernism, and the Agnus Dei is transformed into poetry, rather than the previous prose.
What I like best of all is Dutron's contemporary sensibility. The Cum sanctis tuis again has great harmony, and is full of Dutron's personality. More than just concludung the Requiem, it looks back from our point in time on the tragic loss of Mozart, and ends with a quiet, but strong unreconciled despair. This is a Mozart Requiem never heard before.
(For comparison, I recommend another superb recent recording, the reconstruction of the first performance, from the Dunedin Consort and John Butt.)

Hurdle Rate Definition
A hurdle rate is the minimum rate of return that must be achieved
A hurdle rate is the minimum rate of return that must be achieved
A hurdle rate, which is also known as minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR), is the minimum required rate of return or target rate that investors are expecting to receive on an investment. The rate is determined by assessing the cost of capital, risks involved, current opportunities in business expansion, rates of return for similar investments, and other factors that could directly affect an investment.
Before accepting and implementing a certain investment project, its internal rate of return (IRR) should be equal to or greater than the hurdle rate. However, most importantly, any potential investments must possess a return rate that is higher than the hurdle rate in order for it to be acceptable in the long run.
Most companies use their weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as a hurdle rate for investments. The stems from the fact that companies can buy back their own shares as an alternative to making a new investment, and would presumably earn their WACC as the rate of return. In this way, investing in their own shares (earning their WACC) represents the opportunity cost of any alternative investment.
Another way of looking at WACC is that it's the required rate of return investors demand from the company. Therefore, any project the company invests in must equal to (or ideally greater than) it's cost of capital.
A more refined approach is to look at the risk of the individual investments and add or deduct a risk premium based on that. For example, a company has a WACC of 12% and half its assets are in Argentina (high risk), and half its assets are in the United States (low risk). If the company is looking at one new investment in Argentina and one new investment in the United States, it should not use the same hurdle rate to compare them. Instead, it should use a higher rate for the investment in Argentina and a lower one for the investment in the U.S.
In analyzing a potential investment, a company must first hold a preliminary evaluation to test if a project has a positive net present value. Care must be exercised as setting a very high rate could be a hindrance to other profitable projects and could also favor short-term investments over the long-term ones. A low hurdle rate could also result in an unprofitable project.
Key considerations include:
The most common way to use the hurdle rate to evaluate an investment is by performing a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. The DCF analysis method uses the concept of the time value of money (opportunity cost) to forecast all future cash flows and then discount them back to today's value at the hurdle rate to provide the net present value.
In order to do this, the company needs to perform some financial modeling. The first step is to model out all the revenues, expenses, capital costs, etc in an Excel spreadsheet and develop a forecast. The forecast needs to include the free cash flow of the investment over its lifetime. Once all the cash flows are in place, use the XNPV function in Excel to discount the cash flows back to today at the set hurdle rate. If the resulting Net Present Value (NPV) is greater than zero, the project exceeds the hurdle rate, and if the NPV is negative it does not meet it.
As you can see in the example above, if a hurdle rate (discount rate) of 12% is used, the investment opportunity has a net present value of $378,381. It means if the cost of making the investment is less than $378,381 its expected return will exceed the hurdle rate. If the cost is more than $378,381 the expected return will be lower than the hurdle rate.
Learn more about hurdle rates and internal rate of return in CFI's financial modeling & valuation courses.
The hurdle rate is often set to the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), also known as the benchmark or cut-off rate. Generally, it is utilized to analyze a potential investment, taking the risks involved and the opportunity cost of foregoing other projects into consideration. One of the main advantages of a hurdle rate is its objectivity, which prevents management from accepting a project based on non-financial factors. Some projects get more attention due to popularity, while others involve the use of new and exciting technology.
It's not always as straightforward as picking the investment with the highest internal rate of return. A few important points to note are:

Vitiligo susceptibility
What's your trigger?
A lot has been written about the possible causes of #vitiligo. The growing body of published material appears to lead in so many different directions that you could be forgiven for concluding that medical opinion is hopelessly divided on the subject. Some research points to a genetic cause, some to autoimmune involvement, others to oxidative stress, others to trauma, whilst some implicate digestive disorders and yet others environmental factors. Confused yet? Don't be!
The more I read, the clearer it becomes to me that none of these theories is mutually exclusive. In fact, they all build up a picture of vitiligo aetiology that starts to make sense. Although different researchers are coming at the problem from different angles, there is a pretty good consensus on the point that there are indeed multiple causes and processes involved in the development of vitiligo and that, in the majority of cases, two or more of these need to occur in order for depigmentation to result.
The first of these factors is #genetic. Some individuals have vitiligo susceptibility genes, meaning that these are the people who are likely to develop vitiligo some time during their life. Typically, this will happen when they encounter certain #environmental triggers. These triggers create an autoimmune response in the genetically susceptible person which causes the body's immune system to attack its own melanocytes, resulting in lost pigment.
That much seems to be relatively clear. The complicated part – at least from my point of view – is identifying the possible triggers and avoiding them. Most of the known categories are listed in the opening paragraph of this post but how to avoid all of them is not always a simple matter. Here are some of my thoughts on each of them.
So, it's clear to me that I have no control over genetics and limited control over my tendency to autoimmunity but there is a lot I can do to reduce oxidative stress, trauma, poor digestion and exposure to harmful substances. My dramatic repigmentation after adopting a nutritional programme is proof enough for me that I can keep digestive triggers under control. And ever since then I have also become much more aware of the need to avoid environmental risks too. I now look closely at the labels on the household and personal care items I buy and the fabrics I come into contact with.
I have blogged on this topic several times before but I want to highlight it again because environmental triggers for vitiligo are rarely talked about by doctors and so there may be a lot of people out there who have vitiligo and are unaware that the products they use on a daily basis could be causing new patches of depigmentation or making existing patches worse.
Given that I have a genetic predisposition to developing vitiligo, I realise that I cannot afford to expose my skin to the same high street brands of highly chemically processed products that most people seem to be able to use without any apparent ill effects. Switching from commercial hair dyes and other toxic beauty products to natural alternatives that contain no known vitiligo triggers was one of the first things I did once I became aware of the dangers. Then I started to think about the importance of selecting fabrics that did not contain potentially harmful chemicals (like many commonly-used dyes and synthetic fibres). After all, our skin is in contact with the clothes we wear all day and then it is exposed to whatever our bedding is made of all night. So, unless we live in a nudist colony and sleep standing up, we are in direct contact with fabrics 24/7. This is why I decided to include therapeutic and protective, dermatological clothing and bedding in Vitiligo Store and why, having researched, sourced and tested the best products available, I would recommend them to anyone with a susceptibility to vitiligo, or indeed any chronic skin condition.
The first item I tried out myself was Dermasilk gloves as I felt my hands were a priority because:
a) they are repeatedly exposed to household products, detergents, etc.
b) maybe worse still, they are in regular contact with rubber gloves*
c) they are one of the most common sites for developing vitiligo, and
d) they are one of the hardest parts of the body to repigment.
*I now wear these comfortable, soothing gloves inside my rubber gloves for all household chores which has reduced my skin exposure to harmful chemicals to zero, including those toxic ingredients in the rubber gloves themselves. Not surpisingly, the way my hands feel inside the therapeutic gloves is the complete opposite of how they used to feel when I wore rubber gloves on their own. Instead of feeling hot, sticky and irritated (I regularly used to feel as if my rubber gloves were biting me - like an insect... has anyone else experienced that?) and emerging with that nasty warm rubber smell, they now feel cool, comfortable and soothed, however long I wear them, and have no unpleasant smell once removed. It's enough to make you want to do housework all day... well, maybe not!!! ... but it is certainly a very simple, pleasant and effective way to avoid many of the environmental triggers that I would otherwise encounter on a daily basis.

Green Day
Released: 13th June 2005.
Fan favourite "Wake Me Up When September Ends" is the fourth single from the multi-platinum "American Idiot", and it certainly delivers. Showing that slow burners are Green Day's speciality, the single is like an ode to despair and hardship. The song is instantly catchy, and very memorable. Great to sing along with, the lyrics are deep and meaningful, telling of Billy's father's death. The video is great too, and really captures the message of this emotional song. I can see this eclipsing "Holiday" and going Top 10.
"American Idiot" was hailed as one of 2004's greatest rock albums and proved that the punk-pop veterans have truly matured. It also spawned three successful singles, leaving me wondering why we need another. Never mind the bizarre notion of releasing a song that begins "Summer has been and passed" just as the sun begins to appear, but without the context of the album, this song just sounds lost. Musically it's stuck somewhere between being the singalong rock anthem of "American Idiot" and the eerie, chugging ballad that is "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", yet it doesn't really excel at being either. It's far from being a bad song, but without the rest of the album to prop it up, it's pretty unremarkable. Wake me up when you've got a new album, thanks.

Market tour with Michael TuohyPosted on May 14, 2010 – 6:06 PM | by beckler
Liv and Tim and I were pleased to be invited to tour the Wednesday Cesar Chavez Park farmer's market with Grange chef Micael Tuohy. This guy really knows his produce! I was super impressed. He knew most of the purveyors by name. After the tour, which took about an hour, Tim high-tailed it back to work and Liv and I got to sit down for lunch at The Grange with other local food writers and bloggers.
As a side note, I can't even begin to tell you how frustrated I am with wordpress' photo-posting settings. It has taken me an hour to make this post, probably, and the photos are just willy-nilly. Sorry!

***Contest Closed***
Nice! I'm quite sure we will see some users with very cool links
Let's see who will be the first one showing his 100+KM link
If only i could get my hands on a pair...
Oh great! Does this mean they might be available now? I have been back ordered 3 times. Would love to get a pair! Maybe if I send pictures of how long they have been backordered I can win a pair? =P
Isn't it a bit odd to be offereing free units to those who already have some when I am back ordered with Double Radius? Makes it rather hard for us to "compete" in your contest.
Many users have devices in-hand already and we'll be running this promo for a bit while inventory gets ramped up to distributors. Some distributors are getting new shipments this week. We're looking forward to seeing everyone's link who wants to share.
Excuse me if I consider this answer disingenuous. We buy over $5000/mo of Ubiquiti gear and desperately need this product for its great new features and you're **giving** it away?!!! Really bad PR move.
Hi Unwiredhokie -
We are giving away 2 radios per week. There are thousands of units being shipped to distributors and they are being expedited via air. They are arriving each week. Who do you have an order in with? We can check to see when you will receive.
Also, this is a great time to encourage stories as it brings out different applications and use cases. As customers receive their orders they have a very good indication of what to expect in the field.
OK, today I get call from our distributor. So, tomorow a pair of radios and slant kits is on my desk. But the antenas are still for 31.7.2015 delivery .
Are you waiting for the RocketDish? If you have the slant kits, you should just use the RocketDish. These should be readily available. The 30 and 34dBi AirFiber Dishes have shipped. The 23dBi starts to ship end of this month.
If you ship from China to Europe by seaship then 2month... . And yes I can (and probably will) use slant...but have to buy extra antenas and maybee the slant is not that good as directslantantena... .
We buy primarily from Double Radius and have been told that mid-July is our expected time frame. Sure, we'd love to get some earlier....
We'd like to congratulate the first four winners. The guys below posted some awesome installations over the last four weeks showcasing the power and versatility of AF-5X.
Thanks for sharing your links! Big congrats on your prizes.
Contest is still running!
Radios are bench linked, mounted on dishes and on their towers. Will be linking up later today hopefully. 4Km distance, clear Fresnel. Should be good to go.
More to come soon.
@UBNT-Austin Has there been anymore winning contests announced?
We'll publish the new round of winners next week. Stay tuned
Hey guys,
We'd like to give a big congrats to our next round of winners!
5. Rocket AC PtP link upgrade to AF-5X @jjonsson
6. AF-5X – Major resolution for new launch @eomedia

10. AF-5X in Hawaii 30 mile link: Rainbow Power @ElbowWilham
11. AF-5X upgrade - more throughput, less spectrum, lower latency @lucky79
Will will be closing the contest at the end of this week. All entries must be in by Sunday at midnight (PST). We still have a few more weeks of entries to judge (stories posted after 8/10 haven't been judged yet), so we'll have some more winners announced soon, and keep an eye on your PMs if we tag you here!
Thanks for sharing your success stories with AF-5X. We hope you all had fun showing off your installations, and stay tuned for more promotions from Ubiquiti. Keep posting to the Stories section. If you didn't win a pair of AF-5X and you posted an airFiber story, shoot me a PM, and we can send you a Ubiqui-Tee.
Awesome, thanks for letting us know @UBNT-Austin Cant wait for a PM
This is great! Thank you UBNT and thank you @UBNT-Austin, if you are going to send me a PM, I don't have them enabled in my account.
We will be doing some other projects using AF5X, we will keep sharing them.
Have a great day!.
This enlce gave us a disc of 34 dBi at both ends
Este enlce nos dio con un discos de 34 dbi en ambos extremos
You should post your Story here --> http://community.ubnt.com/t5/airFiber-Stories/con-p/airFiber_Stories
Debes publicar tu "Historia" en la Seccion "Historias" no aquí
Sería bueno, que además de la captura de pantalla, incluyas alguna imágen/foto de la instalación, y nos des algunos detalles mas acerca de la instalación.... Y si lo haces en Inglés, mejor.
Hola aun esta vigente el concurso gracias!!!
Buen dia, el concurso se cerró hace casi 3 semanas amig@. Espero pronto haya otro concurso en el que puedas participar.
Good day, the contest was closed almost 3 weeks ago I hope there is another contest so you can participate.
Hi @UBNT-Austin
is there any progress? I haven't received any PM so far.
I was announced as a winner, but never received anything. Was I supposed to do something to receive my Airfiber 5x?
@ElbowWilham Sending you a PM
@NVX Definitely. Send email to email@example.com.
Hello @UBNT-Austin,
I am in the same situation like @ElbowWilham, announced as a winner couple of posts above but never received anything

I just want to know, how's it working out for you - with your anxiety issues and all?
I just want to know, how's it working out for you - with your anxiety issues and all?
I'm not married, but anxiety wrecked a long-term relationship I had. People have their own needs and they're programmed to seek their attainment. I was unable to meet her needs because of my anxiety, and eventually that drove a wedge between us. I don't blame her. I think she came to realize my failure to meet her needs wasn't because I was lazy, but just cos I was messed up.
No i'm not married. In some ways it would be nice to have someone here, but then i think, maybe i'm just to set in my ways. Could i put up with a woman in the house all the time ? leaving the top off the toothpaste; the loo seat down, and her dirty knickers in the sink !!!!
Hi im married happily for 20 year's and been with my wife for 26 year's ive not been a model husband because of the health problems i have but the one thing that has helped us to stay in a strong relationship is our children that both are disabled and looking after there needs has helped us to stay together and the relationship grow strong as the year's have past
Yes. I can relate to that Twich. Its been a similar time scale this end. Raising children and facing challenges as too the ongoing fostering of those relationships, have helped to make it a team effort. Although we now sleep in different rooms nor have intimate relations in physical terms we are still bonded in ways not so readily understood. All that has come before us and how we have met those challenges have made us who we are today. The way in which we each view our status may alter with ongoing challengers. End result is that we are still together, supporting our kids and facing the ongoing challenges that this oh so wonderful world brings.
Given that baby sitting/child minding centers/institutions do most of the rearing today, with social services, various professions and pharmaceuticals looking after the byproduct ; I tip my hat to you.
Well Done!
Its not about the white picket fence and romance depicted on TV, Billboards, Radio and mobile screens.
Living this life is not about number one.

Thanks ponder my wife and i would never let social services get involved with our family we had children not them in the uk there's so many horrendous story's about people not getting the care needed and being mistreated by the people who are looking after some of the poor people in they're care it will not happen to my son or daughter my wife and I still love each other and have as near as possible a normal loving relationship between us
I'm not married. Probably never will be.
Although I'd like to get married someday, getting married is not high on my priority list and never has been for me.
I'm young so not yet, but I would like to one day.
I am. Two years now. The anxiety does bring it's problems to the table, but talking things through, being open, honest and putting in the extra effort whenever you can makes up for whatever damage the anxiety causes for the relationship. In my case both me and my wife are sufferers, so it's tricky, but we're there for each other, and I think that helps.

During the rally, protesters seen waving Russian flags were promptly thrown out or the building. Penn Live reported that the first unidentified person to be removed from the rally yelled "Trump is a traitor!" while waving a Russian flag.
Trump told security to remove the man, to which the crowd began chanting "USA!"

Russian flags with "Trump" stamped on them made an appearance at a Trump rally in February when a man was seen distributing them among the crowd. The Hill reported that progressive group Americans Take Action was reportedly behind the prank.
But here's what the flags tell us: Liberals are still pushing the Trump/Russian ties, even though there has been no evidence of collusion.
The reappearance of the flags is therefore indicative of one thing — it's all the Democrats have.
Liberals are still clinging to the hope that someone, somewhere will find evidence to connect the dots between the president and Russia. Meanwhile, they will keep pulling stunts like this.
Mainstream media outlets will continue to report that the Russia scandal is getting worse for the president without offering any real evidence that supports their claims. It's a shame that they don't put all of that energy into investigating how former President Barack Obama's administration spied on Trump or all the crimes that Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton committed.

Liberals can troll rallies and throw Russia flags in the air all day long, but at the end of the day, it's not doing them any good.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 27, 2016
Join the Swiss Society in celebrating 150 years of International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
The Swiss Society of New York will hold its annual Swiss Ball on February 6th 2016 at Cipriani 42nd Street: A night of dancing, entertainment, fine food, a silent auction in support of the Swiss Society's Fellowship and the Young Swiss Late Night Ball. The Swiss Ball is held under the patronage of the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York.
Jeannette Seifert-Wittmer, President of the Swiss Society, looks forward to the celebration: "It is our distinct pleasure to recognize the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for their humanitarian action for over 150 years and we are thrilled to welcome Rolf Soiron, Member of the Assembly of the ICRC, as Guest of Honor of the Swiss Ball 2016. In collaboration with the ICRC, proceeds of our Silent Auction will allow us to fund this year's Swiss Society Fellowship Prize for a joint project. Thanks to our numerous generous sponsors, guests will enjoy a magnificent evening with fine dining, Swiss entertainment and dancing."
Much has changed, of course, since the first Geneva Convention was signed by twelve states, including Switzerland, more than 150 years ago. Both the Geneva Conventions and the Red Cross were the initiative of Henri Dunant, Geneva native. An eyewitness to the Battle of Solferino in 1859, he was appalled by the lack of care for the wounded and immediately organized aid on the battlefield. In 1862, he published his memoirs under the title Un souvenir de Solférino. The publication attracted great attention throughout Europe, and paved the way for the foundation of the Red Cross and the International Committee for Relief to the Wounded, which since 1876 has been known as the International Committee of the Red Cross. Since the adoption of the first Geneva Convention 150 years ago, international humanitarian law has become a central pillar of the international legal order. Ultimately its provisions serve to protect our key characteristic as human beings: our humanity.
The Swiss Ball, the annual gala fundraiser of the Swiss Society, is a cornerstone of the broader Swiss community in the New York tri-state area. Each year we honor a uniquely successful Swiss person or institution, and this recognition extends further by means of the Swiss Society Fellowship. This increasingly important grant funds exciting projects in the legacy of the honoree.

The Swiss Society New York
Since its beginnings in 1882, the Swiss Society has come a long way. In 1888, the Society began to hold annual banquets at prestigious New York hotels. For many years, the long gone Astor on Broadway between 44th and 45th Streets was the primary venue for these events.
In the 1920s, the Swiss Society began to transform itself into an organization carried by the growing Swiss business community in New York. This also brought about a change in the scope of the annual banquet; with a new set-up as a charitable annual ball, the now famous Swiss Ball was born.
Throughout the 20th century, the Swiss Society played a key role in the Swiss community of the greater New York area. In 1951, it began to organize luncheons (initially called "Déjeuners Suisses") that featured prominent politicians, businessmen, scientists, artists and journalists from Switzerland and the United States. It also organized Swiss National Day celebrations and other events. In 1991 the Swiss Society participated in the celebrations for the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation.
Today, the Swiss Society organizes and supports numerous cultural events throughout the year. The Swiss Ball today attracts several hundred people from a broad spectrum of businesses and industries.
The Swiss Society of New York is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to encouraging the extensive historical friendship between the United States and Switzerland and to supporting Swiss culture and heritage in the New York tri-state area and other regions of the United States.

Belly dancing gives many advantages to mental and physical wellbeing. Young ladies are constantly worried about their image and will imitate or copy the most recent design or behaviors, exhaust themselves with physical activities to make the perfect body, and seek after numerous false avenues until they discover that their positive image is within self.
Belly Dancing Benefits:
Ladies are tormenting themselves attempting to get a thin waistline, flat abdomen, slim and shapely legs and curvy hips. Ladies will attempt several types of activities searching for a magical solution and if not satisfied will end up contacting a plastic surgeon.
- Belly dancing is an artistic adventure which can help create, and keep up a positive body image. Each female is a special being and should not be attempting to shape her body into a beauty standard set up by others by their meaning of the perfect body.
- This type of dance and its activities will help a lady to gain more confidence and self-esteem. The dance movements will improve her body to her liking, and the outfit will help enhance certain body parts.
Dancers concentrate on their move and train their bodies for physical interpretation and communication initiated by the music.
The performing belly dancer illustrates on stage:
- A woman's beauty and magnificence
- Emotional changes of happiness, fun and smiles
- Communication and interpretation of the lyrics of the music with her acting skills
- The audience appreciates the dancer's physical beauty and appreciates her choreographed dance which may represent a specific style or culture.
- The belly dance is for both the performer and the audience to experience their senses of pleasure.
Belly dancers are available in slim, medium, and heavy body sizes. The belly dance offers a variety of styles which will enable a woman to enjoy her body's commitment.
Costumes differ depending on the style of move. The outfit will strengthen and improve the entertainer's body image and additionally represent the culture of origin. A dancer is worried about her dance abilities as it must reflect the selected style. She is usually pleased with a successful performance.
If her dancing is right and her body creates the important movements, then the experience is lovely, satisfying, and profound. This mix of beauty, self-awareness, and body abilities makes a lady comfortable and confident with her being and sensuality

Futuracha was originally created by Greek creative agency, Holy, as a free-to-download quirky vector alphabet. Because of it's popularity, they set up an Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign to transform the typeface into an actual working font AND. IT. IS. MAGICAL!
The soon-to-launch Futuracha Pro comes with alternative versions for almost every letter of the alphabet, and the way it functions is the most fascinating part of all – while you are typing, the font adjusts itself based on the preceding and following letter so that the lettering fits together seamlessly. Like I said, MAGIC! Read more about it's history, and why the designers decided to bring Futuracha to life on the Indiegogo page here…
The crowd-funding campaign was HIGHLY successful having raised $86,431 USD (the original goal was a mere $4000 USD!) and although now complete, you can preorder a copy of Futuracha Pro (LIKE I DID, whoop whoop!) at a slightly discounted price here: http://holy.gd/futuracha/
Can't wait to try it out for myself #NerdAlert


text: Jonathan Mattocks lost his appeal and will probably go to prison for two years for bending his MetroCard. Apparently creasing the "primary magnetic field" on the card can fool a subway turnstile into giving you a free ride — the MTA claims eight million such frauds a year, but that sounds like an accounting stunt. Mattocks was expecting at most a three-month bid, but the court charged him with a felony, and the Court of Appeals has upheld that draconian sentence. So you can now presume the $2 fraud, or any official misapprehension of such, can lead to a couple years in the joint. Better start keeping your MetroCard in a metal case, citizens.

Life always gives big opportunities in the form of small hints. The big move in Pankaj Bhadouria's life came with a small step when she decided to leave her successful teaching career spanning over 16 years and enter India's 1st televised cookery reality show - MasterChef India on the leading GEC - Star Plus.
And as they say, fortune favours the brave, Pankaj went on to become a worthy winner and with it India's first ever MasterChef.
The comfort of the classroom gave way to the adulations, accolades and a host of achievements. Pankaj hosted her first cookery show - "Chef Pankaj ka Zayka" on Star Plus during Sep-Oct 2011 where she showcased her passion for cooking. The success of this daily show added another flavor to her sweet success.

FRINGE, by Rebecca Belmore
What is the role of an artist?
an excerpt from Joseph Conrad
"A work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line. And art itself may be defined as a single-minded attempt to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe, by bringing to light the truth, manifold and one, underlying its every aspect. It is an attempt to find in its forms, in its colors, in its light, in its shadows, in the aspects of matter and in the facts of life what of each is fundamental, what is enduring and essential — their one illuminating and convincing quality–the very truth of their existence. The artist, then, like the thinker or the scientist, seeks the truth and makes his appeal. Impressed by the aspect of the world the thinker plunges into ideas, the scientist into facts — whence, presently, emerging they make their appeal to those qualities of our being that fit us best for the hazardous enterprise of living. They speak authoritatively to our common-sense, to our intelligence, to our desire of peace or to our desire of unrest; not seldom to our prejudices, sometimes to our fears, often to our egoism — but always to our credulity. And their words are heard with reverence, for their concern is with weighty matters: with the cultivation of our minds and the proper care of our bodies, with the attainment of our ambitions, with the perfection of the means and the glorification of our precious aims.
It is otherwise with the artist.
Confronted by the same enigmatical spectacle the artist descends within himself, and in that lonely region of stress and strife, if he be deserving and fortunate, he finds the terms of his appeal. His appeal is made to our less obvious capacities: to that part of our nature which, because of the warlike conditions of existence, is necessarily kept out of sight within the more resisting and hard qualities — like the vulnerable body within a steel armor. His appeal is less loud, more profound, less distinct, more stirring — and sooner forgotten. Yet its effect endures forever. The changing wisdom of successive generations discards ideas, questions facts, demolishes theories. But the artist appeals to that part of our being which is not dependent on wisdom; to that in us which is a gift and not an acquisition — and, therefore, more permanently enduring. He speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain; to the latent feeling of fellowship with all creation — and to the subtle but invincible conviction of solidarity that knits together the loneliness of innumerable hearts, to the solidarity in dreams, in joy, in sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in hope, in fear, which binds men to each other, which binds together all humanity — the dead to the living and the living to the unborn."

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.
United Scope manufactures microscopy equipment and accessories under the brand name AmScope. The company, founded in 1996, is headquartered in Irvine, CA.

Happy Saturday Morning 🙂
The other night I was coming home from the gym and I was HANGRY lemme tell ya. I still had quite a few protein & carb grams left to consume for the day so I decided to make a chicken and rice bowl! We had some corn on the cob left over from grilling the night before, so I decided to add that in as a little filler / veggie option. This recipe has a littleeee kick from the rice but the sweet corn adds a sweet flavor that balances the bowl really well!! It turns out I threw together a super healthy, high protein, yummy and super easy to make rice bowl.. so of course I had to share it with you guys 🙂
- 8 oz chicken
- 1 c. Zatarain's Spanish Rice
- 1 cob of sweet corn (or about 1/2 cup of canned corn)
- a few sprinkles of Lawry's seasoning
- a sprinkle of pink Himalayan Salt
- a sprinkle of ground pepper
- a small scoop of butter made with olive oil
- Place thawed chicken on a cutting board and trim off any fat the chicken may have with a knife.
- Season both sides of the chicken with a sprinkle of Lawry's seasoning.
- Spray a small-medium sized pan with any non-stick cooking spray and place chicken in the pan.
- Cook chicken over medium heat until it is cooked all of the way through, flipping occasionally.
- While the chicken is cooking, I like to cut the chicken into small pieces to help it cook quicker and more evenly!
- To cook corn on the cob on the grill:
- Spread a tinnnyyy amount of the butter made with olive oil on the corn.
- Season the corn lightly with Lawry's, pink salt and ground pepper.
- Once the seasoning and butter is evenly disbursed, cover the corn on the cob completely with aluminum foil.
- Place the corn on the grill and cook over medium-high heat.
- Rotate the corn while it is cooking so it will cook evenly and cook for around 10 minutes – check on it a couple of times because each grill cooks differently!
- If you would like to simply make canned corn – cook the corn according to the can instructions instead! Your choice 🙂
- In a medium sized pan, cook rice according to the instructions on the package.
- Once all of the ingredients are cooked – combine the chicken, 1 cup of rice, and corn into a medium sized bowl & stir.
- Serve & enjoy!
optional: You can top the rice bowl with 1 TBSP of guac or salsa if you would like to! I thought the bowl had enough flavor on it's own when I prepared it, but it's all about your preference!
* My home-made guac recipe is available in my '7 Day Meal Prep' blog post if you would like to make a home-made recipe!! Click this link –> Meal Prep Blog Post!

A Chester County Farmhouse
Thomas is an amazing woodworker and was able to use his skill around the house. Many of the wood used in the remodeling process was reclaimed from an old barn. The kitchen counter tops are black walnut slabs that have been refinished. It's not often you see wood used as counter tops (except those of us lucky enough to have butcher block) and it's a great way to keep things rustic, yet contemporary.
There's plenty more of this Chester County Farm House in the Philadelphia Magazine archive to be seen and take inspiration from.

One day after school, I found a group of ants in the yard carrying a half-dead fly. I quickly went back to call my brother. My brother found a spider on the way down the stairs. He found a wooden stick and let the spider climb the stick. Then the spider was carried to the group of ants. He shook the stick and threw the spider into the ant colony. An ant soldier saw a giant behemoth and immediately went back to the rescue. After a while, a group of ants came out. After a few contests, the army of ants was beaten by spiders. The ants were injured in the army and died, and the losses were very heavy. But they did not give up, and sent a few ants to find the ant general. After a while, five or six ant generals led more than 100 ant soldiers out. Some of the ants carried the injured ant soldiers back, the other ants surrounded the spiders, and a big battle was about to begin [url=www.smokingsalestore.com]Carton Of Newports[/url]. At this time, the spiders were exhausted and could not run. In order to save their lives, the spiders could only Continue fighting.

LAS VEGAS Las Vegas has long been known as a destination for flashy events and meetings. But now a group of residents is using a different set of gatherings to transform the city's downtown area.
Tony Hsieh, the C.E.O. of Zappos, is moving the online retailer's headquarters downtown from nearby Henderson, Nevada, in the fall. He's also at the center of the Downtown Project, a community group with $350 million in funding and a mission to "transform downtown Las Vegas into the most community-focused large city in the world." That means investing in real estate, education, small businesses, and tech start-ups, as well as luring the type of creative entrepreneurs you'd expect to find in Silicon Valley, Brooklyn, or Austin, Texas.
A key part of the strategy is using events—speaker series, conferences, festivals—to create a sense of community among residents and show off the group's work to out-of-towners familiar with casinos on the Strip, but not the actual city of Las Vegas. Since the area doesn't have the level of population density that urban theorists desire in order to foster serendipitous interactions, the event strategy is a work-around—a way to import members of the so-called creative class. It's a vision for Las Vegas influenced more by Jane Jacobs than Bugsy Siegel.
While Zappos is famous for its focus on customer service and offbeat corporate culture, Hsieh has also been a longtime believer in the power of events as bonding tools. In his book, Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose, Hsieh writes that after selling his first company, he "committed to living by the philosophy that experiences were much more important to me than material things." He also describes how raves taught him to interact with strangers and how he bought a loft to host parties and foster a tight community of friends.
Since November, Hsieh and companies he has funded have been inviting speakers across diverse fields—geneticists, painters, philanthropists—to present ideas, mingle with locals, and experience the city. Presenters have included Stanford business school professor Chip Heath and Whole Foods co-C.E.O. John Mackey. Donna Karan is scheduled to come and teach yoga.
The speaker series are casual and loosely programmed, with plenty of time for spontaneous interactions and a participant list of just about 25 people. "It allows for them to have an intimate week among themselves," says Kim Schaefer, who handles communications for the Downtown Project, "but it's big enough that it lends itself to people breaking off on their own to do things."
Different partners program monthly series targeted to technology and fashion; event company Catalyst Creativ puts together a monthly series called Catalyst Week, which changes its focus each time. Participants are expected to give a talk that will inspire and inform the group, as well as any local residents who attend. There's a clear TED influence, with a focus more on personal experiences than corporate slides.
"A lot of people tell stories that they never would otherwise," says Catalyst Creativ C.E.O. Amanda Slavin. And participants often veer from what they planned to present once they experienced the vibe of the week. "Ninety percent of people say, 'I can't use this PowerPoint.'"
While the Downtown Project puts up participants at the Ogden, a new condo building, the participants pay their own travel costs. There are some casual group dinners in Hsieh's sprawling apartment in the Ogden (some handled by a local raw-food caterer), but speakers also have meals on their own, splitting the tab like a group of friends. "It's kind of an immersive community experience," Schaefer says. Participants are required to tour downtown and the Zappos headquarters and are encouraged to meet with local entrepreneurs and fellow speakers. (Disclosure: I participated in Catalyst Week in April, talking about music festivals, and stayed at the Ogden.)
For now the educational sessions take place in temporary trailers on a construction site that will become a park filled with repurposed shipping containers. Later they will move to the Inspire Theater, a 150-seat hall with a coffee bar and newsstand being built at the historic intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Freemont Street. Slavin says the venue will also be made available to corporate hosts who want their own version of the Catalyst Week experience.
There's also a monthly game night for families, one-off inspirational talks on Friday afternoons, and plenty of cocktail mixers that give employees from Hsieh-funded start-ups a chance to get away from their laptops and share ideas. An old bus, painted and outfitted with a bar, trucks groups to First Friday, a monthly arts and food festival—also funded by Hsieh—that draws a diverse mix of 20,000 people for performances, art sales, installations, and food trucks.
The largest downtown event initiative is coming in October: a two-day food, music, and art festival called Life Is Beautiful, started by Rehan Choudhry, C.E.O. of Aurelian Marketing Group and the former director of entertainment and events at the Cosmopolitan hotel on the Strip. Beyond aiming to lure 80,000 people with performances from hot bands and food from famous chefs, Choudhry says the goal is to create experiences that make people say, "That moment in time fundamentally influenced me."
It's hard to measure the success of these efforts beyond stories of entrepreneurs who have moved to Las Vegas, lured by Hsieh's money and the support of like-minded transplants, and others who have returned to bring friends to see what's happening in the city. This is the scruffy start of an ambitious urban revitalization movement with events as a key ingredient.
"What we've been really focused on in the last year is ramping things up, and now we're getting to the point [of asking], 'What is the real impact?' I find it fascinating to sit in a room in Las Vegas—where people think of a Friday night in a different way—and people are excited to learn from people and be inspired by people," Schaefer says. "One day we're going to look back and say, 'Remember when we had the C.E.O. of Whole Foods speak in a trailer?'"

Some love stories are written in the stars.
That seems to be the case for a tough biker named Wayne, who revealed he is secretly a softie at heart when he fell hard for a senior pit bull named Julep.
In an animal shelter, puppies get snapped up right away, but older dogs have a hard time finding their forever homes. Fortunately, organizations like Susie's Senior Dogs step in to help bring more visibility to sweet senior dogs looking for love.
That's how our hero Wayne Lerch first came face-to-face with his future partner in crime.
He spotted a picture online of an adorable, smiling pit bull with a white face and felt in his heart that it was the right match.
Still, he approached adoption cautiously. Even when he went to the shelter, he wasn't sure that he was going to bring Julep home.
He drove to the shelter on his bike to avoid making an impulse decision; he wouldn't be able to bring a dog home on his motorcycle.
However, when they met in person? Love at first sight!
Scroll through below to learn more about Wayne and Julep's sweet story!

[Review] Persits ASPEmail
Just while discussing about Email facilities in .NET, I just thought I would write about Persits ASPEmail. I have been using this since my first organization (3rdAgenda). There are a lot of good words to say about ASPEmail from Persits. The first one is it is quite fast. It does not take much of server resources. It takes the messages and vanishes from ASP.NET sky and then slowly works in coordination with the SMTP server to deliver the message.
Now, you can also use Interop to use with .NET. I have been using this in one of my previous organizations (Synaptris Decisions). Furthermore, there are very good premium features like SendToQueue and Control Panel applet management.

Hug my girl, comfort her and make her smile and laugh and take her where ever she wants. If she wants to cuddle we can cuddle I find it a cowards move if you dont cuddle with your girlfriend. It can slowly make your girlfriend love you more is what i have learned. Especially if she's insecure and from the start only lets you the boyfriend touch her.

A plucky youngster striving to save a beloved creature is a familiar enough story, yet this bizarre tale of a 13-year-old girl, Mija (An Seo Hyun) and a giant superpig is quite unique.
Loveable, loyal and highly intelligent, Okja the pig – an astonishing CGI creation – is as big as a hippo and has been reared for 10 years in the idyllic mountains of South Korea by orphaned Mija and her grandfather (Byun Heebong).
But Okja is part of a global contest to combat world hunger devised by a colossal multinational corporation headed by Tilda Swinton's purportedly idealistic CEO. Now, the company wants to return Okja to New York for the climax of the competition.
Mija's efforts to be reunited with Okja, which involve her with a rag-tag band of animal-rights activists led by Paul Dano's apologetic eco-terrorist, go from episodes of slapstick adventure – including some rambunctious havoc in a Korean shopping mall – to far darker sequences in New York.
The film's shifts in mood, from cute antics to bleak drama, via farcical comedy and anti-capitalist satire, will disconcert viewers looking for family-friendly fun and Jake Gyllenhaal's OTT performance as a squeaky voiced TV celebrity vet, the corporation's public face, is annoying.
However, you'll be rooting for Mija and Okja, while the film provides enough food for thought to make you think twice about that next bacon sandwich.

New Annual pearl memorial award!
This year, we launch the new Annual Pearl Memorial Award!
As many of you know, Founder Wilma Spike's precious companion Pearl is the mascot and logo dog of the Woof-a-Thon. This January, Wilma lost her best friend and the Board of Directors has decided to honor Pearl's memory with the Annual Pearl Memorial Award. This award will be given to an individual who assists vets, animal control, or rescue groups by continuously opening their home and heart to care for animals through fostering and caring for injured dogs or cats until they can be adopted out to a loving home.
Please join for the Woof-a-thon event - August 12th 2017, 10am at our new location: North Bay Junior / Senior High School for the most fun day of the year for you and your dog!
For full details on the Ocean Shores Woof-a-thon see www.oceanshoreswoofathon.org Share using hashtag #woofathon2017
Join us to volunteer!
We LOVE our volunteers... and they help us make the Woof-a-thon event and fundraising successful each year. We couldn't do it without them!
Come join us Tuesday June 13th at 6:30pm at the Elk's Club in Ocean Shores for an informal gathering of former and new volunteers to hear about different opportunities and the fun!
If you're not able to attend, we'd still love to hear from you. Visit the volunteers page here on the website and contact us with your interest!
There was a bit of confusion with the city schedulers this year and unfortunately North Beach Park got double booked. Well sometimes such mishaps lead to great things. This year, instead of at the park, the Woof-a-thon will be held on the grounds of the North Beach Junior / Senior High School just outside the Ocean Shores front gate. Plenty of space, restrooms, water and power... all the things we need. We'll see you there on August 12th!
From founder Wilma Spike
The Two Lives of Pearl
I adopted Pearl from a rescue group up near Spirit Lake. She wasn't the dog I'd originally gone down to see, and in fact I was ready to leave when they brought out Pearl at the last minute, scared stiff (literally) and sad. I left her there and drove away – then decided I wanted to see her again and turned around. That was the beginning of our wonderful 6 years together.
Pearl had spent the first 8 years of her life at a puppy mill, in a crate, being bred constantly. She was not socialized, not potty trained, truly a blank slate, and very sad and scared. There were times that I loudly said maybe I would take her back (potty training was tough) but of course, I didn't! She gradually got the idea, and living in a condo, it takes a little time to get her outside. When I realize how far that must have seemed to her - -
Our walks were slow and so eye-opening for me. If we heard a bird or saw one, we stopped and watched. Grass was different, other dogs greeting her... It was all new to her! It was so heartwarming to see how she reacted. She was always so inquisitive (or snoopy) and was very willing to try anything.
When I founded and chaired the Ocean Shores Woof-a-thon event, it was natural for her to be part of the logo art. She was and is on all ads, promotional items, and of course, came to every event. The event has gone on for 5 years and has raised over $55,000 for four beneficiary animal related organizations. She was every bit a partner in this, and enjoyed the events. And why not? She was carried around all day like the princess she was!!
How do I write down the wonderful times we had.? I am so grateful for those years, and the memories I have of her. She made me smile just looking at her. She was a great traveler, and went everywhere with me. She also became the mascot to other condo owners here at Dreamscape. She loved them all, and they loved her. For a 5 pound dog, she left a huge paw print in this town and on all of us. She will be missed by all. Anyone who has loved an animal knows the pain of losing them. My feeling is that life will never be quite as good again without her.
I have never had a dog who got more attention than Pearl. She was a blue merle Pomeranian with one blue eye. She was a beautiful girl, and so many asked what she was. Miniature Husky? Artic Fox? On and on. Her coloring was so unusual for a Pom.
Her death was unexpected. It appeared she had a stroke. She had had a good day prior to that. I was holding her and whispering to her when she passed away. Peacefully. Yes, I gave her the second life that she was living and loving, but she also gave so much to me. We had a totally wonderful 6 years together, and I am so very grateful for that and having her in my life. I will miss her forever. RIP – my little Pearl girl.
The North Coast Journal article on the passing of Pearl.
Ocean Shores Woof-aThon wrapped up the 5th year as they awarded $10,000 to the 4 charities of their choice. Each shared equally in the proceeds. Accepting the checks were: Lorna Valdez of North Beach Paws, Deb Blake of Harbor Rescue, Kristina Snyder of PAWS of Grays Harbor, and Leon Brauner of Ocean Shores Food Bank for animal food.
Wilma announced that over the course of 5 years, that the OS Woof-a-Thon has awarded $49,500 to charities who help needy animals. She also shared that she is so proud of the Woof-a-Thon, and all it brings to the animals and the city. She thought when we made the yearly calendar, that we had "made it", but after 5 years she feels even more confident that it will continue. That has always been her goal for the Woof-a-Thon.
The Food Bank awarded Wilma a certificate with their thanks. She was humbled by this, but she also made it very clear that she doesn't do this alone. It would not happen without the numerous volunteers, the board, and the key people for the event. And above all, it's a fun day for the dogs and their people. And all for the animals.
Ashlyn, Gracie, and Cora, three very enterprising supporters of the Woof-a-thon sold lemonade to raise funds! Final tally, they raised $75.50 to include in their donation to Woof-a-thon on 8/13/16. THANK YOU ladies!
Wilma Spikes continues to leave her mark on Ocean Shores
By Angelo Bruscas
GH Newspaper Group
When Wilma Spike retired to Ocean Shores about 10 years ago, she never really felt lonely even though she was the only one living in the view Dreamscape condominiums at the very southern tip of the Ocean Shores peninsula.
In a matter of weeks, she had met another new and likewise single woman living in the remote community, Judy Weber, and the two were off nearly every week to experience all there was to their newly adopted home.
Wilma continues to leave her mark, celebrating the fifth year she has been the lead organizer and inspiration behind the annual Ocean Shores Woof-a-Thon (Aug. 13 at North Bay Park), even while she still recovers from an illness that left her hospitalized for the early part of this summer.
As a local citizen activist, she helped lead the campaign to preserve the ... (more at address below)
