National Archaeological Museum is located in the Kolonaki district in the north of Athens (Greece). More precisely — 44 Patission, Ekzarheya. Museum is easily reached on foot in about 15 — 20 minutes of quiet walk from the Parliament (downtown).
Exhibits of the National Archaeological Museum
The museum contains a fine collection of sculptures of Greek and Roman periods, and a collection of Corinthian pottery. Also there be so-called «Mycenaean gold» (artifacts found during excavations of Mycenae), including the death mask of Agamemnon.
The museum's collection includes such masterpieces as the marble sculpture «Aphrodite and Pan«, the bronze statue of «Poseidon» and «Boy — jockey» and other works of art Cycladic, Mycenaean, Hellenistic and Roman periods.
Museum is relatively small. For his tour would be enough for 4-5 hours of time. The museum has a cafe, where you can eat, and shop, where you can buy copies of the liked items. Those who want to save money can go to the museum free of charge through the store, but we do not recommend to do it.

As you may have gathered from my posts on 5 things to do if you suffer from birth anxiety and 20 helpful ways to deal with your birth anxiety talking to someone is always on the list. There are lots of reasons for this but most importantly talking will;
- give you a way to vent any stress or anxieties about the birth
- help you to organise your thoughts and understand exactly how you are feeling
- let people around you know you are struggling
- get you any extra support you need that might help
And whilst talking to anyone will help, there are a few people that it is worthwhile including in conversations about your birth anxiety as they will be able to help you the most.
Birthing partner
This is probably your other half (but may not be). Whoever it is, make sure they are aware that you are feeling worried about the birth. Your birthing partner is your advocate in the labour room. There might be times when you're not able to think straight or make decisions so this is where your birthing partner has to speak up for you. Your birthing partner is also the one who will be with you the most during labour so they are well placed to help you stay calm and feeling OK. Make sure you talk to them in advance. Discuss what you'd want to happen in certain situations. And also make sure you cover what you'd want to happen if things don't go to plan (e.g. needing interventions).
Knowing that you are going into the labour room with someone who will support you will really help to reduce your anxiety. If you know that there is someone you can trust to speak up for you then it means you can relax and feel safe.
Talking to your midwife about any anxieties is really important. Not only will your midwife be able to reassure you but she can recommend certain elements in your birth plan that will help you feel less anxious. It might be that you both decide that being allowed on to the labour ward even if you are not progressed enough will reduce fears that you won't get the help you need. Or that you can have an early epidural if you ask for one. Of course, there are no guarantees in labour but being open about what frightens you will give you and your midwife the best chance of making sure it doesn't happen.
The other reason to talk to your midwife is that they can refer you on to additional support services. It may be that they can help you access counselling or get support from a mental health midwife. Or that they can refer you to a consultant to talk about potential options. They may also have contact details for services outside the hospital that might help so they really are a good person to confide in.
Trained professionals
Most people that you talk to are likely to want to reassure you, give you their story or opinion on it and offer their suggestions on what you need to do. Talking to someone trained in helping people with anxiety is different. They will listen to you, without judgment, and won't offer their opinion. This can be really helpful in allowing you the space you need to sort through how you feel without any pressure. It also allows you to say anything that's on your mind. No matter how silly, irrational or bizarre it sounds. It's confidential so you don't have to worry about anyone else finding out how you are feeling. And it's a space that is there solely for you.
The type of professional you talk to will depend on what you feel you need. Counselling/psychotherapy are listening therapies that are focused on letting you talk about how you feel. It can also focus a great deal on your past and will help you understand what is behind your fears. Coaching is forward looking and practical so will focus on you finding the actions that you can take to feel more empowered. Hypnotherapy is different again, working with your subconscious whilst under hypnosis. Whatever you choose, find a practitioner that you trust and like as this will give you a better outcome.
I'm a big fan of doula's. I've no doubt that if I'd had a doula in my first labour it would have been very different. I would always suggest that you consider having a doula at your birth as, essentially, they are a birthing partner who knows what they are doing! They are trained to support women in birth and are very positive about a woman's ability to cope with labour. If you are anxious about childbirth then it is even more worthwhile considering a doula. They meet with you before hand which can help you to feel calmer about the birth. And then, when you're in labour, you will have a familiar face with you the whole time as well as someone who will be able to reassure you, help you to relax and support you through from start to finish.
Even if you don't end up hiring a doula it pays to talk to a few just to see if they can help you. If nothing else, they will make you feel like birth is a wonderful experience that you can totally get through.
Other mums
Yes I know, lots of other mums can have horror stories which, quite frankly, you just don't need to hear. But they can also be a fabulous source of inspiration, encouragement and support. Other mums will know exactly what you are going through. They may well have been in your position and have come out the other side. It can be really reassuring to hear that you are not alone in how you feel. That there are other women who feel (or felt) the same way you do about birth. It can also be really reassuring to know that other women have been able to get through childbirth. Some of them with amazing stories to tell. Seek out other mums who have been where you are. They will be able to tell that it's going to be OK and you'll believe them, because, well, they should know.
So there you have it. 5 people that you should talk to about how you are feeling. And if you are anxious about giving birth and want to have a coaching session with me to help you feel calmer, happier and more positive about your upcoming birth then get in contact here or email email@example.com. I've got your back on this one!

My daughters love the Olympics and one of them even dresses her American Girl dolls for the occasion and keeps a count down. She's suggested we get up to watch live the opening ceremonies. To get ready, we've watched a few Youtube clips of prior years performances in Ice Skating and Ice dancing. She also discovered the sports channel that shows all the qualifying events and reminds us of the most recent Summer games in China.
After watching the opening ceremonies and the first few days, one of my daughters came to me and announced she wanted to train for the Olympics. "I think I could be up there Mom." she said, eyes shining.
Not wanting to burst her bubble, I tried to be gentle. "Sure, I'll sign you up for classes if you wish, but I should tell you, most of those athletes are 15-21 years of age and have been training since they were about eight." I was proud that she wanted to do this, and hopeful it wasn't beach volleyball.
She did not appreciate my tact.
"Well thanks Mom for shooting down my dream with a sniper rifle!"
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." I thought. My Maternal ego felt bruised. "Well you know, there's an Olympic event with skiing and shooting..."I started but her face said to stop so I did and asked, "How exactly did I do this?"
"If you knew this, why didn't you sign me up then?"
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Again." Answers scrolled through my head. "Because I've always prided myself in not treating you as an extention of myself designed to manifest glory to the world. Because I believe in having children be children. Because it is expensive. Because we had lives that were full without this. Because you've shown no interest in any sport for more than the season when it is in season, because, because....because." I had all these good reasons and what did I say?
"Ummm." Don't say it Sherry. Don't rise to the bait. Darn it I'm weak. I said, "What sport are you interested in?" Sherry! You are an IDIOT FOR EVEN SAYING THAT SENTENCE! Me was screaming at me.
"Ice Skating."
This was before the paralyzing 7 day snow storm. Now after two days of shoveling, she announced she was going to move to the dessert when she grew up so she'd never be cold. She also offered to do all sorts of chores inside the house so as to avoid helping with the big dig. I could see her being signed up to skate and deciding it was too cold and I remembered, "All suffering has purpose." The snow had protected me from the charge of bad parenting for leaving her Olympic gold dreams unfulfilled. At the very least, I had a defense. "We'll talk after I get back from working on the driveway. You could join me, build up some Olympic muscle."
She promptly left me for the computer.
Being inside the house, my daughter researched the ages of the members of the American team. She also googled past performances and pulled up the German Mom who was 31 and on the gymnastics team and Torres, the US woman who at 42 won the Gold in swimming. Of course, my inside daughter printed them up and brought them out to no longer shoveling me and said "HAH! Sign me up!"
I watched as the tractor plowed the driveway and waved bye bye to the 150 dollars I'd just surrendered. "Well, I would honey but I just payed to have the road cleared. I might have not asked for the plowing of the driveway if more people had helped." Okay, so I don't play fair either, the apple and the tree are very related. Looking at the five foot drifts on either side of the driveway, she shook her head, "Hot Chocolate Mom, we can watch the ice dancing?" Peace and good will through the Olympics had been restored, but thank goodness these events only come every 4 years.**
**Lost this piece as an Untitled Microsoft number 5 and then it was in limbo with the computer, hence the dated references.
Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always trying to be warmth and light, focuses on parenting, and the unique struggles of raising a large Catholic family in the modern age. Updates on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday...and sometimes more!

Did you know that herb plants can be found at your local garden center or farmer's market for just a few dollars a plant? Plus, herb plants are perennials, so you never need to worry about replanting them the next season as they will come back in full force on their very own. Now that is value! So what does this mean to you? It means that herb plants can be a great addition to your garden, where they will not only add visual beauty but can be used for all sorts of practical reasons in your kitchen as well! Take a look below at 7 fun and frugal herbs you can grow and eat this season. It is not too late to add herbs to your garden or even incorporate into a year long indoor herb garden.
7 Fun and Frugal Herbs You Can Grow and Eat:
Mint – Grow spearmint or zesty peppermint and use it for a whole slew of uses including garnishing beverages, spicing up your salads, or mixing with watermelon chunks for a cool and refreshing dessert. Muddle your mint and add it or chop it fine and toss it in. Freeze it in ice cubes to fancy up cocktails or lemonade as well.
Chives– Chop these onion flavored greens and use in your dips and salsas. Or, mix in with oils, butter, or cream cheese for an instant boost to your spreads. Just chop the stems fine and toss them in. Add them to potato dishes, sprinkle onto baked potatoes, or even bake vegetables sprinkled with chives.
Basil – Basil is perfect for seasoning tomato salads, zesting up your green salads, or adding to your pasta dishes whether they be hot or cold. Just chop and add as needed for a quick boost. Add a little olive oil, basil, tomato, and onion for a quick summer salad everyone will love.
Rosemary – Rosemary is ideal for perking up your meat dishes. Simply add rosemary springs to marinates or sprinkle chopped rosemary onto meat before grilling or roasting. It pairs exceptionally well with pork and even roasted potatoes.
Cilantro – Chop up cilantro and add to salsas and guacamole dips. Or you can add it to steamed rice and veggies for an extra boost of flavor you won' forget! Cilantro can also be added to soups and stews for extra and inexpensive flavor.
Lemon balm – Lemon balm can be added to teas or even just hot water for a soothing and sweet flavor. Just break off a couple of leaves and toss in. The refreshing flavor is also stimulating and therapeutic, giving you relief from common cold symptoms.
Oregano – This herb is perfect for tossing into cold salads and pasta dishes. Add it to homemade sauces as well for a savory homemade flavor. It can also be tossed into meat marinades to give them an extra boost.
See how easy it is to use herbs in your everyday cooking? They are so inexpensive, you are better off growing your own fresh herbs as opposed to buying dried varieties for ten times the cost at your local grocer. So head to your local gardening center, or even grow your own from seed (you can find seeds at your local dollar store!) and see what uses you can find for these fun and frugal herbs! You will find they can easily help you stretch your food budget and help you save.

Ernesto Screpanti's paper was entitled 'Value and Exploitation: A Counterfactual Approach'. From the first paragraph: .. Cavallaro's appeal to beware of mystifying labour values lets us hope that the search can proceed along correct lines today, avoiding certain scholastic forcings which we have witnessed in the past, although the interventions of Carchedi, Freeman and Kliman seem to want to kill this hope at birth. This could well elicit a response. I have a hardcopy. I will bring it to Washington. Phil

You've got to be brave to give honest feedback.
You've also got to be tactful, compassionate and objective. Because nobody really likes being criticized. And it's important to carefully consider these interactions according to open.buffer.com, because people are more likely to remember criticism inaccurately and more strongly.
If the real point of your negative feedback is to help an employee grow, your delivery has to be spot on. You don't want the recipient of your critique to feel attacked … to become defensive or shut down without considering what you're saying. But you also have to be careful not to sugar coat it—so the employee misses the point.
It's also important to consider each situation carefully before reacting. New employees need more cheerleading—more encouragement and praise. Experienced employees who are more confident in their abilities are more likely to appreciate negative feedback as a way to help them continue improving weaker skills. And you've got to be sensitive to the varying personalities on your team.
Here are ten suggestions for delivering negative feedback:
- Enter the discussion with the right purpose: Helping the other person improve. If you're angry, get control of your emotions before you begin talking with your employee.
- Build strong relationships over time. We are all much more likely to accept negative feedback from someone we trust. Daily interactions with members of your team will help build trust and mutual respect.
- Don't only give negative feedback. Make sure you are just as quick to point out positive work as you are to find fault. If your only encounters with employees are to criticize, your encounters will soon be demotivating.
- Be clear and specific. Don't beat around the bush in an effort to be kind. Use tactful words that aren't personal. If the situation is serious, tell them. And be clear on what improvements you expect in the future. If there are numbers supporting your discussion, share them with the employee.
- Don't bury it between compliments. Although this one sounds like a contradiction to #3 above, it's tricky. You do want to compliment the strong work of employees over time, but perhaps not in the same conversation as the negative feedback. Offering both in one conversation can dilute what you're saying. Several sources however (psychologytoday.com), do suggest sandwiching bad feedback between good. So take this on a case-by-case basis—if there were negative and positive aspects of a particular project where it makes sense to discuss them in one conversation, go for it.
- Don't put it off. Don't save up your multiple criticism for one BIG event. Quickly and gently address issues as they happen so the employee can make corrections and progress steadily.
- Criticize privately. Don't deliver your remarks in earshot of the employee's colleagues.
- Don't make it personal. Stick to the facts by stating the behavior or results you've seen. Statements that begin with "you" are more likely to cause a combative reaction (unless you're praising someone). Stick to "I" statements when possible.
- Wrong: "You don't seem to care about your deadlines."
- Right: "I depend on you to stay on schedule and I noticed that you missed your last three deadlines."
- Use the word "yet." "I like the direction this article is headed, but I don't think we're there yet." Tacking on that one little word softens the delivery and implies that you're leaving room for improvement, suggests Jocelyn K. Glei for hbr.org.
- Allow for discussion. Encourage interaction by asking questions that help you understand causes of poor performance or behavior.
Don't shy away from giving negative feedback to employees. Delivered thoughtfully, it helps each of us improve.

A few choice quotes on jealousy from their preamble to the test results:
- Studies support the idea that those satisfied with their romantic attachments feel the least jealousy.
- While we can't necessarily stop this unpleasant sentiment from dropping in from time to time, we can control how we choose to act when it hits.
- For every jealous feeling there is an emotion lurking behind that is much more significant than the jealousy itself. Jealousy is just the finger pointing at the fears that we are afraid to face.
I found that I was doing a lot of meta-thinking in trying to answer some of the questions in the test. In a few of them, the possible reactions listed didn't accurately reflect how I would act, and I suspect that some of them (talking about an incident, for example) were weighted as more jealous than I perceive them -- I feel that "I don't care; it doesn't matter" isn't as good an answer as "talking openly about the event," simply because open communication is desirable to me, but I suspect the authors felt otherwise.
I scored an 8 out of a possible 100, with 0 being asbsence of jealousy, 65 being extreme jealousy, and 100 being pathological jealousy. (Pleasant scale, isn't it?)
(( I'm going to put more graphics and stuff in here from the results page, and more details stuffs about the breakdown of my score. Because I can. Until then, here's the intro blurb that's associated with my score. ))What does your score mean?
Most people who are involved in an important relationship carry a certain amount of fear and feel threatened by the possibility of being displaced and losing a partner to someone else. After all, these things happen, and when they do, it is usually very painful. Very few people display a blatant lack of jealousy. You appear to be one of them.
If you were honest with yourself while taking the test, this means that you are so secure, so strong, independent, and rational that the possibility of losing your partner to someone else is not threatening to you. That does not mean that you do not care; you would certainly be sad or crushed as anybody else. However, you know that if it ever happens, you will survive with your self-esteem intact, with your head up and with dignity. You realize that even though you might love your partner very much, s/he is not the only compatible creature on earth, and that you would eventually find happiness with someone else. Such feelings give you a sense of security and strength to trust, and allow you to be comfortable in the relationship. This, in turn, boosts the chances of a lasting and fulfilling relationship. The only word of caution: Make sure your partner does not perceive your unshakable lack of jealousy as lack of interest or affection.

M'Hamsa Couscous
This couscous is prepared in the original method that was started by the Berbers of the Maghreb thousands of years ago. The semolina flour is hand rolled with olive oil and salt on screens, allowing the small grains to fall through and then adding flour to and rolling again until a consistent size grain is formed. The couscous is sun dried, giving it a rich, full, toasty flavor when cooked.
The time honored tradition of making this couscous is what is so special. Even if you never make a trip to Tunisia , at least you can have one of its most authentic foods on your table in no time at all.
I buy my from Zingerman's for about $10 per jar.
Knorr Hollandaise Sauce Mix
I know how to make a hollandaise sauce from scratch, but if the weather is weird or if you are not paying attention or if you are on you last stick of butter it will fail!

About Us
Dr. Amber L. Hollis
DAOM, L.Ac.
Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine- Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine
Masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine- Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Licensed Acupuncturist
Nationally Board Certified Herbalist
Integrative Nutrition Health Coach- Institute of Integrative Nutrition
Amber L. Hollis has been in the medical field for 15 years, and is fearless in the pursuit of her passion: healing the hurting, lifting the fallen and restoring the broken. After researching and studying multiple medical systems, it became apparent that Chinese Medicine was the most effective path for actually helping others. Upon receiving her Masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine Amber went on to complete a rigorous residency program at The Acupuncture & Wellness Center in Washington State. This is the largest Chinese medical clinic in the United States and it was here where Amber learned a unique style of acupuncture called Distal Needle Acupuncture , and began prescribing herbal medicines based on a specialized form of Medical Pulse Diagnosis. The results were unlike anything she had ever seen or heard of previously. Profound to say the least.
Amber has treated thousands of patients and lives for the changes she sees in their lives. For her, there is nothing as invigorating as helping someone live a life they only dreamt was possible. Amber changes people's lives, and that is why she gets out of bed every morning.
Not surprisingly, Amber's love for health and vitality extends to her personal life. She is an ardent practitioner of yoga, starting each morning on her mat before heading into the rest of her day. Balance and breath are what yoga is all about. Balance and breath are what life is about. She believes that if one learns to find these two things in the midst of a difficult pose, one can then learn to use them elsewhere in life to breathe through and bring balance into any difficult situation.
In addition to medicine, nutrition, and yoga, Amber loves to travel, to spend time by the ocean and in the mountains, and to constantly seek out new adventures. In the end, it is health and happiness that will bring vitality to the world.
Chris Volesky, L. Ac.
Chris is a brilliant practitioner who has extensive knowledge and experience in the field of Chinese Medicine. We hand picked him to partner with us at The Vitality Center because of his determination to further the field of medicine, his ability to cultivate health and relief in his patients, and because the quality of care he provides is unparalleled.
Chris has been able to achieve this standard of excellence through studying with the top doctors and practitioners in the field. His nerd-like qualities (that we love so much) drove him to not only memorize what the masters taught, but he then practiced and perfected it with clinical efficacy in hospitals in North Carolina, Minnesota, and Washington. It was this clinical experience that motivated him to look beyond what he had learned. He made the medicine his own and became a master in the field of Chinese Medicine.
During his residency at Robert Doane's Acupuncture and Wellness Center, the largest clinic in the country, Chris treated thousands of patients. He became tremendously skilled at diagnosing the root cause of symptoms through the pulse and uses that knowledge to prescribe personalized herbal medicines.
Apart from Chinese Medicine, Chris is a lifelong musician and sings to his children every night. He loves to spend time with friends and family playing games, hiking, and engaging in general Tom foolery.

Hello everyone -
I've had a craving for gnocchi lately that needs to be satisfied. I have yet to eat anywhere in little Italy (being relatively new to Chicago). Does anyone have any recs for really good gnocchi in little italy? Preferably a place that may have outdoor seating, although I'll forfeit the outdoors for better gnocchi. :)
Thank you!!

Meaning, while File photo want to sell their stocks, they can sell them back to agents acting on behalf of Fund or Trust Company in the Net Asset Value or to the Fund or Trust Company. To the contrary fund shares are not exchangeable. Therefore, those investors who wish to market shares can sell them into the secondary market investors in a predetermined price by the industry.

But not anytime soon.
Lag is probably the biggest issue for console gamers getting into the PC hit PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One. The nearest servers are in Asia, or Europe and North America if you really hate yourself and want to watch a ludicrous kill-cam replay that shows some truly heinous lag.
On PC, Oceania servers offer a much more level playing field – but will the same be coming to Xbox? We reached out to Microsoft, and received the same answer that everyone else is getting:
"The PUBG Corp. team has selected the server structure that best meets the needs of each region and provides the most optimal wait times and gameplay experiences available in each market. In addition to the servers available immediately at launch and with the opening of the Asia server option, the team will continue investigating the need for new servers in different regions to better serve the growing PUBG community on Xbox around the world."
Thankyou faceless Microsoft spokesperson – your ambiguous but vaguely positive reply is… well, it's not much at all.
Wait and see.

3 Google Updates!
September 4, 2015 - BEST District of the EVSC
The New Look of Google
Have you noticed that Google has a fresh, new look and feel? Check out the new font for the Google Logo below. Even though the branding has been updated - that's not the only thing. Here are three updates (two to Docs and one to Sheets) that are awesome!!!!
1 - Google Docs Templates
Most of the time in Drive we click New, then Google Docs. From there we create an Untitled Blank Document. What if I told you that now you and your students don't have to start from scratch? Instead, check out some of the new templates (see below) that are readily available for you. Some templates include: Class Notes, Reports, and even Lesson Plans. Super Cool!!!
2 - Voice Typing
The next brilliant addition to Docs from Google is Voice Typing. Just as the title implies, by clicking the voice typing tool (the microphone) simply speak normally and Google will convert your speech into typed text. Talk about a huge timesaver. Try completing your PLCs with the Voice Typing Tool - all of the agenda, minutes, etc. - all typed for you!
3 - Google Sheets and Explore
A lot of schools use Google Forms especially for ODR/Referral Data. When a referral is submitted, the data is dumped into a Google Sheet. What if I told you that that data can be interpreted by Google for you - no graphs, charts, or tables have to be created. Google will do all of this for you now by using the new Explore feature! You have got to check this out!

Tempus fugit...
These last few weeks have been very work busy and, more importantly, wet. Let's face it, digging is a bind at any time, and digging in the rain is one of the most unappealing pastimes I can imagine. Except perhaps wet-paint observing. Or poo tasting. Anyway, I digress...
Things are growing well at the vicar's garden: the potatoes look very happy; the broad beans are in flower; the second planting of peas are creeping up the netting; and there are lots and lots of blackcurrants on the bushes. The goosegogs are a disappointment, as once again they've been covered in mildew, in spite of our radical pruning. Rob's sprayed them with some stuff, but it doesn't seem to have made much difference so far. We'll keep trying. On Sunday, we planted out the spaghetti squash and the tomatoes, so the only major things left to plant are the sweetcorn and the squashes/courgettes. Julia's in charge of germination, so hopefully they're growing gently as we speak.
Plot 9, however, has been quite neglected in the post-rain fight to get the Vic's back on track. However, we spent a reasonable amount of time up there on Sunday and planted out globe artichokes and did some weeding. We also got accosted by one of the old boys who has the allotment opposite ours. The conversation went something like this:
Old Boy: There's something that's puzzling me
Me: Oh yes?
OB: Why have you put two trenches here, right in the middle of the allotment?
Me: That's for asparagus
OB: Well, yes, but you'll have to wait two years for that.
Me: We know that
OB: Why haven't you put it at the ends of the allotment? There's no sense putting it in the middle.
Me: Eurm, because we wanted to?
OB: But it doesn't make sense.
Me: All of this top bit is going to be permanent - fruit bushes and the like - so it doesn't matter that we won't get an asparagus harvest for a couple of years.
OB: Oh.
....and on, and on, and on. We apologise now for not posting a notice explaining exactly what we are planning to do, and justifying our reasons for putting the plants where we've chosen to put them. Had we realised quite the level of interrogation we'd have to endure, we'd have personally spoken to you, Mr Old Boy, before putting spade to earth. As it is, you'll just have to lump it.
Talking of spades, earth and lumps, the soil at the allotment seems beautiful - Rob's done most of the digging up there (planted so far: cabbages, purple sprouting, beetroots, turnips, asparagus pea) - but the spits I've turned over have been good crumbly stuff, with far fewer stones than the vicar's, so there's even chance for the carrots!

- How does the OPCW assess the completion of the chemical weapons destruction program by Russia? How do you see the future of cooperation between the OPCW and Russia in light of this achievement?
The completion of the chemical weapons destruction program by Russia is a milestone in the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). The facts speak for themselves. At the time of joining the CWC, the Russian Federation had the largest stockpile of chemical weapons in the world – 39,966.558 metric tonnes – consisting of sarin, soman, VX, mustard, and lewisite – some of the deadliest warfare agents known to mankind.
Russia had an obligation, under the Convention, to destroy hundreds of thousands of filled and unfilled munitions, everything from aerial bombs to spray tanks, as well as destroy or convert all its chemical weapons production facilities. The entire weapons-destruction operation took place under the OPCW's watchful eye. To reach this remarkable milestone in 15 years and ahead of schedule is a testament to Russia's dedication, to the professionalism of its experts, the sustained financial and practical support from OPCW Member States, and the depth and breadth of OPCW's technical expertise.
I see the future of cooperation between Russia and the OPCW in positive light. The Russian Federation is one of the original CWC signatory states. The OPCW has had a constructive and cooperative relationship with Russia throughout the full demilitarisation process. Moreover, Russia is active within the OPCW across all pillars of the Convention as a member of the Executive Council.
Going forward, Russia's contributions to the OPCW are essential as the Organization shifts its focus from disarmament to preventing the re-emergence of chemical weapons. In particular, the Organisation is concerned about the rise of chemical terrorism. We are addressing this within the framework of the CWC. We understand that this is also an area of concern for the Russian Federation, and the OPCW has benefited from its participation in the Open-Ended Working Group on Terrorism and the Sub-Working Group on Non-State Actors.
- How is the process of chemical weapons destruction coming along elsewhere in the world? Which countries are destroying their stockpiles? How many chemical weapons are left to be destroyed?
The progress made in verifiably eliminating chemical weapons under the Chemical Weapons Convention over the past 20 years is impressive. More than 96 per cent of 72,000 metric tonnes of declared chemical warfare agents have been destroyed under the OPCW's verification. The world can only have confidence that all chemical weapons have been eliminated once the four remaining nations – Egypt, Israel, North Korea, and South Sudan - take on the responsibilities of the Convention. Destruction efforts continue for not only the chemical weapons declared largely as a legacy of the Cold War, but also for old chemical weapons from WWI and abandoned chemical weapons from WWII.
The United States has destroyed over 90 percent of its stockpile under the OPCW's verification, and is on track to meeting its destruction obligation by the scheduled completion date of 2023. After Russia, the United States had the second largest declared chemical weapon stockpile. The Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant is making steady progress since it became operational in September 2016 and the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant will soon be operational.
The remnants of Libya's defunct chemical weapons program - which was removed from Libya by an OPCW-led international mission – is now being destroyed in a specialised facility in Germany. This process is expected to end this year. Because of the determination of Libya and the international community supported by OPCW verification, the world can have confidence that these chemicals will never become weapons.
- How do you see the organization's future? What are the most important issues the OPCW should deal with after all the chemical weapons in the world are destroyed?
The destruction of the last of the declared chemical weapons will mark a new era for the organization and a shift in our focus towards preventing the re-emergence of chemical weapons. In an age of rapid scientific and technological advances and a shifting security landscape, the OPCW must tackle preventing the re-emergence of chemical weapons on multiple fronts.
The threat of chemical terrorism is real. Terrorists have the ability to build or acquire chemical weapons. They have demonstrated their willingness to use them. The usual approaches to non-proliferation are not enough. Countering this threat will require using all available tools, including multilateral coordination among various national and international actors. Equally important is the national legal framework providing the foundation for preventing non-State actors from gaining access to materials that could aid in the development of chemical weapons, and penalizing those individuals responsible.
The OPCW seeks to ensure that chemistry is used for peace, prosperity and progress. The Convention provides for the promotion of international cooperation and the exchange of scientific and technological information for peaceful chemical activities. In this context, the organization has established a wide range of capacity-building programs.
The OPCW itself must be a center of excellence in chemistry. We plan to expand and upgrade the existing OPCW Laboratory to a Center for Chemistry and Technology. With this we will be able to augment and obtain a range of analytical and research capabilities for the benefit of our States Parties.
- The possible use of chemical weapons in Syria is widely discussed in the media nowadays. What is the latest progress in investigating these incidents? How do you assess the cooperation with the UN in this process?
The OPCW Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) continues to assess all allegations chemical weapons use in Syria. The mission is conducting the investigations in an impartial and professional manner, while following all established scientific-based procedures. In May 2017, the FFM submitted a report on the use of sulfur mustard in September 2016 in Um-Housh, Aleppo and another report in June 2017 on the use of sarin this past April in Khan Shaykhun. In both cases, the FFM confirmed the use of chemical weapons. These assessments have been forwarded to the OPCW-United Nations Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM), which is mandated by the UN Security Council to determine responsibility for these attacks. The OPCW is supporting the JIM by providing all relevant information that it requires in connection with their investigations.
- A new OPCW Director-General is supposed to be elected during the Conference of the State Parties in November. As the outgoing DG, who was in charge of the organization for almost eight years, what would you like to wish to your successor?
Serving as the Director-General of the OPCW has been a great honor and a privilege. As an organization, we have made tremendous progress toward achieving a world without chemical weapons. To acknowledge that the OPCW was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2013.
When I began my term in 2010, the organization was facing questions about its future and its relevance not only in the post-destruction phase, but even in the shorter term as destruction-related activity had been declining substantially. I have spent my tenure re-focusing our work on other aspects of the OPCW's mission, and I am fully confident that the OPCW is ready to successfully meet the challenges of the post-destruction age and navigate an increasingly complex international security arena. The organization is now more agile and robust than ever before to tackle the challenges ahead.
The challenges facing the new Director General are formidable, and I mentioned some of them earlier. But from a wider perspective, what I would wish for my successor is that he continues the absolutely critical task of preserving the international norm against chemical weapons.
The OPCW has confirmed the use of such weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic, there are reports of use in Iraq by non-state actors, and a trial regarding the alleged use of VX in an assassination is now ongoing in Malaysia. These reports are of concern to all of us. Preserving the norm is crucial because when it is breached without accountability, impunity is born. It is also vital to preserve the system that offers assurances of compliance because a loss of confidence in the effectiveness or relevance of the mechanism will inevitably lead to the erosion of the entire framework.
A significant factor is non-adherence by a handful of states that remain outside the convention. I continue to use every opportunity to stress the importance of Egypt, Israel, North Korea and South Sudan joining the Convention.
Ultimately, the OPCW is and will be what its States Parties want it to be. Yet, they all agree that stopping the spread and use of chemical weapons by anyone under any circumstances remains a crucial objective.

|The malfunctioning of molecular chaperones may result in uncovering genetic variation. The molecular basis of this phenomenon remains largely unknown. Chaperones rescue proteins unfolded by environmental stresses and therefore they might also help to stabilize mutated proteins and thus mask damages. To test this hypothesis, we carried out a genomewide mutagenesis followed by a screen for mutations that were synthetically harmful when the RAC–Ssb1/2 cytosolic chaperones were inactive. Mutants with such a phenotype were found and mapped to single nucleotide substitutions. However, neither the genes identified nor the nature of genetic lesions implied that folding of the mutated proteins was being supported by the chaperones. In a second screen, we identified temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants, a phenotype indicative of structural instability of proteins. We tested these for an association with sensitivity to loss of chaperone activity but found no such correlation as might have been expected if the chaperones assisted the folding of mutant proteins. Thus, molecular chaperones can mask the negative effects of mutations but the mechanism of such buffering need not be direct. A plausible role of chaperones is to stabilize genetic networks, thus making them more tolerant to malfunctioning of their constituents.

Yesterday it was finally time for Blog Yorkshire's first event at Revolution in Leeds.
I've been helping Carrieanne from Beauties unlocked and Faith from Music and Eyeliner out with the planning and other little bits and bats for the past six weeks and it was fab to see it all come together yesterday. It couldn't have gone any better.
I'm not going to go into too much detail as this could end up being a very long post but I've included all the best bits for you below including the goody bags!
Brands that attended on the day were, Espa, Pastille Beauty Bar, Country Attire, Quiz, Wynsors Shoes, House of Fraser, Allertons & Georgina Grogan from shemightbeloved.com doing makeovers - click on the links to find out more! I may have forgotten some there but forgive me, it was a very fast day!
Towards the bottom are just a few general shots i got throughout the day, i'm no photographer haha.
I have no idea where i'm going to put all this stuff, let alone use it all! We were absolutely spoilt by all the brands that offered products for the goody bags.
Little goody bags were available as you walked into the venue from House of Fraser. Mine included the above which are all amazing. Chuffed!
Country Attire were one of my fave's that attended and their goody bags were so cute!
Espa - I had never heard of Espa before but was lured into their beautiful little area. We were asked to pick out a scent we were drawn to and apparently the scent you choose is what your skin needs. The scent i picked was for combination/oily skin and just look at all the goodys ready for me to try! I'm really excited to use these so i'll be doing another review on this little lot when i've got more to say.
Cute little goody bags from Wynsors shoes were given out as well. I'll certainly get my use out of all these!

Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits
Do I Qualify for Benefits?
Are you too disabled to work, but your Social Security Disability claim has been denied? You are not alone the Social Security Administration denies 67% of all applicants that apply for their Social Security Disability benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) considers you disable if you cannot do the work you did before and you are unable to adjust to other work because of your physical or mental medical condition(s). In addition, your disability must last or be expected to last for at least one year or result in your death. Social Security benefits are paid only in cases of total disability, not partial or short-term disability.
How Do I Qualify for Benefits?
Under the federal Social Security disability act, disability means the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
Why Was My Social Security Disability Claim Denied?
Applying for Social Security Disability (SSDI) Or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits is a very complex process. Your disability must fit into a specific category and the Social Security Administration (SSA) requires extensive proof that you cannot work. If your application for benefits has been denied once, twice, or more, don't lose hope, but you have only sixty (60) days to appeal!

Pontoon RTG
Pontoon RTG Review
Some say that Pontoon poker is another variation of Blackjack but we think it is a completely different game. The goal of reaching 21 is the same as Blackjack and the card values are the same but the strategy is completely unique to this game. This review is for the Internet Pontoon Poker created by Real Time Gaming. As an RTG game you can be assured that it plays fast and true and it is available to all players including those within the United States.
The Play
The game of Pontoon is laid out very similar to that of Blackjack and this is a 1-1 game of the Player vs Dealer. The player makes their bet from $1 up to $100, the dealer deals from an 8 deck shoe two down cards to each. The goal is to get as close to 21 without going over and the best possible hand is a two card 21 as with an Ace + face card which is called a Pontoon. If the player gets a Pontoon and the dealer does not have a two card 21 then the player wins 2x the wager. However if the dealer ties with a 21 then the dealer wins. Very important to remember, the dealer wins all ties.
The Rules
The rules for Pontoon Poker using the RTG software are that the Dealer stands on a hard 17 or higher and hits on a soft 17 or less. The Player has to hit on 14 and can only stand after attaining a score of 15 or higher or complete a 5 Card Trick. A 5 Card Trick is a hand that has 5 cards and the total is 21 or less and is the second highest attainable hand, if the player has this they win 2x their bet (as long as the dealer does not have Pontoon).
The player has all the standard options of splitting on a pair, doubling their bet even on cards 2-3-4, and can even split Aces. Split Aces are treated as a new hand and the Player can earn a Pontoon and the 2x reward when splitting Aces. You can also take additional hits after splitting.
Pontoon is a very exciting game which plays fast and is quite easy to learn. There are many different version of Pontoon. The RTG game is very exciting because you can split aces and win a 2x Pontoon with each Ace. The 5 Card Trick adds a whole new layer of strategy because of the 2x payout.
The Pontoon is available to all players as it is a USA Friendly and a Mobile Friendly game which means you can play this game anywhere you have an internet connection. It plays great on your home computer and on your smartphone and tablets so if you are connected then you can play!

School Donation Letter
Donation Letters are of several kinds but with a common aim of generating funds for a specific cause. A School Donation Letter is a type of a donation letter which is written by a regulatory body at school to prominent persons, business organizations or parents of the students studying at that school. The letter could be written for several reasons, such as construction of the school building, development of a new program or a certain activity.
The letter should be segmented into three paragraphs. The introductory paragraph should begin by stating the reason for which the letter is being written. The second paragraph of the letter should mention the important details of the activity or event for which the donation is being requested. The letter should be concluded by thanking the receiver for his or her time. Since the letter is putting forth a request, the tone of the letter should be kept polite throughout.
Sample letter
The following is the sample of a School Donation Letter written by the principal of a school to the parents to request for funds for developing a new activity.

BOISE — The wife of Idaho's late Secretary of State Pete Cenarrusa, known during his day as a champion of agriculture, has donated $100,000 to the Idaho FFA Foundation in honor of her husband.
The donation was announced Jan. 29 during Idaho FFA's annual "Day on the Hill" event, which is named after Pete Cenarrusa, who died in 2013. He started the first agriculture classes at Cambridge and Carey high schools and was a strong supporter of Idaho agriculture.
His wife, Freda Cenarrusa, raised the money by selling a piece of property near Carey the couple lived on during their sheep ranching days.
"I just want to say I'm happy, you're happy and Pete is ecstatic," she told hundreds of FFA members, legislators and members of the state's agriculture industry after the gift was announced.
The money will be used to establish the Idaho FFA Foundation Pete and Freda Cenarrusa Endowment Fund, which will provide financial support annually to help fund leadership and career development programs for FFA members.
"This $100,000 gift from Freda Cenarrusa in honor of Pete Cenarrusa is an amazing legacy gift for Idaho FFA," Idaho FFA Foundation Executive Director Laura Wilder told Capital Press. "This gift will help fund Idaho FFA career and leadership development activities for Idaho FFA members, forever."
The annual dividends generated by the endowment will go to the Idaho FFA Foundation's general fund and will be allocated by members of the group's board of trustees to the areas of greatest need, she said.
"We have so many opportunities for our students to develop career and leadership skills and this really helps us use the money to benefit the most students with the greatest need," Wilder said.
Hundreds of FFA members, wearing their iconic blue jackets, descend on Boise every year for the Day on the Hill event, where they meet face-to-face with lawmakers and experience first-hand how laws are passed.
They also meet with leaders of the state's agriculture industry and members of Idaho's farm commissions.
"It's good to see them interact with legislators," said Rep. Scott Bedke, a Republican Rancher from Oakley and speaker of the house. "It reminds these legislators that represent suburban districts how important agriculture is."
Bedke, a former FFA member, said lawmakers attend a lot of functions during the legislative session "but there are none more important that this one."
Tom Clifton, an FFA adviser in Jerome, said the event is the first chance a lot of younger FFA members have to participate in a major leadership event and for the older ones, "it's sort of a reinforcement of what they've learned, what they've been going through the last three or for years. It's a wonderful event for these kids to keep them on the right track."
He said the forum is also a great reminder to legislators of the important role agriculture plays in Idaho's economy.
"They know what the lifeblood of Idaho is and it's agriculture and it's good that the kids reinforce that," Clifton said.

Chicano punk
Latino punk
East L.A.
Angela Boatwright
Retrospectives of the early (1977-1984) L.A. punk scene can be counted on to include the same half a dozen bands (The Weirdos, The Controllers, The Skulls, X, The Screamers, Metro Squad) associated with Hollywood and the Sunset Strip. Only recently has more attention been given to the East L.A. scene, which was in many ways marginalized by cliques of the mostly white LA punks. Everyone knows who Exene is, but how many people can identify The Brat's Teresa Covarrubias, who led the first all-female punk band in East L.A.? Not enough.
Photographer, filmmaker and Columbus, Ohio native Angela Boatwright has done a series of vignettes, "East Los," about the current close-knit East L.A. backyard punk scene for Vans' Living Off The Wall series. Yes, Vans is trying to sell stuff to the world and they obviously know their target market. But the often overlooked and overshadowed East L.A. scene, captured in former Los Crudos member Martin Sorrondeguy's excellent documentaryBeyond the Screams (Mas Alla de Los Gritos), richly deserves to be seriously studied, and I guess the capital needs to comes from somewhere.
Angela Boatwright
Boatwright grew up listening to heavy metal and punk, taking from them the lessons of "be genuine. Don't be afraid. Dive in even if you fail." Her "East Los," while well done and empathetic, is disjointed and doesn't give the viewer a sense of the history of the scene, or why backyard shows were such a necessity in the beginning. A series based on the painstakingly researched 2008 Vexing: Female Voices from East L.A. Punk exhibit at the Claremont Museum of Art, curated by Colin Gunckel and Pilar Tompkins, would have been a better place to start.
Vexing should be given the opportunity to be shown to a wider audience at museums and galleries all over the country. The simpatico radical Franciscan nun and printmaker, Sister Karen Boccalero, who aided the East L.A. punks through the major Chicano arts center she had help found in the early '70s, Self Help Graphics, and the short-lived (six months) but hugely influential Club Vex held there, is an interesting character who would make a great documentary subject in her own right.
Los Illegals' Willie Herron and The Brat's Teresa Covarrubias have been very open about how bands like East L.A. bands like The Bags, The Brat, The Plugz, Los Illegals, Thee Undertakers, who fought the prevailing tendency to be pigeonholed as "Chicano" bands first, and punk bands only incidentally, were slowly given a chance to play "mainstream" venues who put on punk shows ("East L.A. Night at The Roxy" came in 1981) only after bands like X and The Blasters (and their fans) had openly given them their support. The Vex provided the bands with a local space to play every other Thursday night, along with families' backyards and school dances, and network with poets, graphic artists, muralists, printmakers and performance artists.
Angela Boatwright
According to American Sabor:
California emerged as a hub of American punk music with L.A. considered as the most hardcore. In the mid-to-late 1970s, two distinct yet concurrent scenes arose in Los Angeles County: the Hollywood scene—not the fantasy film version but a city dominated by post-industrial poverty—and the East L.A. scene—12 miles to the east and fermenting its punk scene about a year later. Though two distinct punk scenes existed, they were not hermetically sealed. Crossing between the two scenes did occur and Chicanas influenced them both. However, those crossing were not without tension. Who could cross and under what conditions were questions that remained unresolved.
While nearly all attention and fame focused on bands out of Hollywood, the vibrant punk scene in East L.A. grew. It gave us Los Illegals, East. L.A.'s politically-charged diplomats and founders of the infamous Club Vex; The Brat, an all-female group led by Teresa Covarrubias who wrote socially-conscious lyrics against Mexican American oppression; The Plugz, D-I-Y punks who founded Plugz Records and later Fatima Records and went on to play with Bob Dylan on The David Letterman Show; and The Cruzados, a later incarnation of The Plugz who garnered praise from musicians and critics alike. While East L.A. nurtured Chicano and Chicana punks, the city's racial stratification with undercurrents of prejudice continued against even U.S.-born Mexicans. The bands could not get signed performing in East L.A., which had no big venues and mostly consisted of backyard shows that would get shut down early by police. In order to be noticed a band typically had to come out of the West L.A. touring circuit, a paradox because almost all of the famous venues would not allow Chicano East L.A. punks to play.

Sailing Team Has Busy WeekendBy Elaine Heal
Team Member
The second weekend of sailing regattas kept MIT sailors busy in regattas at the Institute and at Boston, Tufts, and Harvard universities.
MIT sailors sailed through varying conditions, from almost no wind to overpowering wind. On the Charles River and Tufts' Mystic Lake, they displayed their ability to do well in any conditions.
On Saturday Harvard hosted the Northern Series in larks and interclubs. Although MIT doesn't often get a chance to practice in interclubs, Al Svilan '95, Heather Campbell '95, Doug DeCouto '97, and Anna Chwang '95 finished in sixth place.
Up the river, Rich Downey '94, Iliana Fujimori '96, Adam London '95, and Mark Sapirie '96, showed off their talents at BU by finishing in fourth place.
The sloop team sailed in its first regatta ever: the sloop eliminators at MIT. The wind was light and sporadic, but Freddy Santos '96, Victor Preciado '96, and Charlie Pan '95 rose to the occasion. They worked their way up to second place in the last race before it was canceled because of lack of wind.
Also at MIT on Saturday was the woman's New England single-handed championships. Thirty-four women from New England sailed in the qualifying round on Saturday, but only the top sixteen went on to the finals on Sunday. The three skippers representing MIT, Patricia Schmidt '95, Elaine Heal '95, and Amanda Ames '95 all qualified for the final round. Sunday proved to be an exciting day with strong winds and huge wind shifts. After a long, tiring day Ames ended up fifth.
Meanwhile, at Tufts, Dan Nestor '95, Matt Van Eman '97, Frank Marcoline '94, and Carrie Morton '95 battled the wind in an invitational. It was so windy that something broke on almost every boat.
De Couto, Jonas Klein '97, Jeff Brock '97, and Alan Au '97 sailed well at Harvard in their first freshman regatta of the season.

Every once in a while, however, an instance of theft is so blatant that members of the Internet community take notice, and take action. Such is the case with "blogger" Terrell Mims, a self-proclaimed writer who frequently rips off established blogs and passes off their content as his own. Ian Fortey, editor of Made Man brother Holy Taco, decided enough was enough. Here's what he has to say about Terrell Mims, plagiarist.

Most Thomas Jefferson Elementary School pupils may not grow up to be famous musicians, but officials at VH1 music television and TCI Communications of Baltimore want them to at least have a chance.
In an hourlong program yesterday that featured a local jazz artist, Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and a fifth-grader who played "Hot Cross Buns," VH1 and TCI officials donated equipment worth $25,000 to the western Baltimore school and announced a total of $75,000 in contributions to three other city schools.
The new instruments -- a total of 33 clarinets, flutes, trumpets, saxophones, trombones, cymbals and drums -- are the first musical tools the school has had since Havanah J. Kenlaw became principal six years ago.

RURAL communities pressure group Cymuned have been refused permission to stage a public meeting at two venues to discuss proposals for a new housing estate.
Organisers had hoped to stage the meeting at a community hall and a working men's club in Rhostyllen near Wrexham.
But bosses at both venues have refused to host the meeting and now Cymuned organisers were appealing for help to find an alternative.
Cymuned's local organiser Carrie Harper said: "The proposals to build more than 200 houses in the village has raised concerns and we are determined to stage a public meeting to discuss this important issue.
"The meeting will go ahead but Rhostyllen is quite a small village and we're running out of options."
The National Trust is selling 20 acres of land, which has outline planning permission for a development which will include 222 houses, community hall, tea room, shops, parks and a playground.
Cymuned claim Esclusham Community Council gave the National Trust permission to hold a meeting in the village hall but is attempting to silence debate.
Cymuned chief executive Aran Jones said: "This is a blatant attempt to prevent open, democratic discussion and if the Rhostyllen Community Council are not prepared to allow democratic discussion, they are not fit to represent the people of Rhostyllen."
Community councillor Mark Pritchard said the decision to refuse permission was taken democratically at a meeting.
"We have an agreement the parish hall is not to be used for political purposes and we believe they (Cymuned) are politically motivated. We allowed the National Trust to stage an exhibition in the hall, this was not a meeting. If Cymuned want to stage a display we would welcome them with open arms."
Determined to meet locally to discuss the issue, Cymuned booked and paid #50 for a room in the Bersham Sports and Social Club but this was later cancelled.
Club secretary Keith Sutton said the meeting was cancelled because the room was booked "under false representation".
He told the Daily Post the club hires out its function room for birthday and anniversary parties or charitable events.
"I was astonished when I realised the purpose of the meeting," he said.
A National Trust spokesman said a quarter of new houses would be affordable homes and offers from developers have been invited.
