Product Review: Chef'n SleekSlice Mandoline
You know I love mandolines. They are probably the one seemingly-extraneous kitchen gadget that I absolutely recommend to have if you cook regularly. I sent Faith my favorite, the Benriner, and she gave it an extensive review. I've also talked about using tiny Swiss peelers as an alternative to a mandoline.
Now there's a new mandoline on the block from the design-happy gang at Chef'n and I recently gave it a whirl.
Comparable in price to the Benriner, it has a much more modern design with a little more safety in mind. I cut myself probably twenty percent of the time on my Benriner. The SleekSlice, with its collapsible silicone finger guard, keeps fingers out of the way of the blade.
Speaking of the blade, one of my only complaints about the SleekSlice is that its blade is slightly serrated, as opposed to the traditional straight slicing blade of most mandolines. While it made for easy tomato-slicing, it didn't zip through, say, a carrot or beet with the same razor-sharp precision of my Benriner, or the fancier, more expensive French counterparts made by deBuyer and Matfer. I rarely need to slice large quantities of tomatoes in a uniform, thin manner, which is why I use a mandoline in the first place. However, I do use a mandoline for cutting leeks for soups or sauces, potatoes for frying, etc. These vegetables are harder to slice with precision using a serrated blade.
I like that the SleekSlice has a dial with four settings for setting the thickness of the slice. It's straightforward and easy to use. It also has a handle with three folding settings: underneath, at ninety degrees, and straight out. This is helpful for adapting to different slicing scenarios like over a bowl or pan, or slicing directly onto a cutting board.
Overall, I give it a thumbs up, especially as an entry-level model to whet a new cook's appetite for mandolines. I would never give the Benriner as a gift to someone who doesn't cook much because of how easily it cuts skin as well as veg, but definitely would consider the SleekSlice… perhaps closer to tomato season.

Rethinking Trident
Ekklesia has long proposed that Trident replacement should be halted. Although the estimates about how much money this would save vary greatly, the figure is certainly in the tens of billions. It could possibly be as much as the entire annual NHS budget.
Churches have spoken up about this too including the Methodist Church, Church of Scotland, Baptist Church, Catholic Church and United Reformed Church. (You can see some articles here)
CND and Compass have now brought together a coalition of over 100 leading figures from across British public life to call for next week's Pre Budget Report to halt Trident replacement and re-deploy the resources saved to more socially useful areas. You can read the statement and add your name at http://www.rethinktrident.org.uk
Launched earlier today with an article in The Independent, the coalition reconvenes the group first formed in the run-up to the 2007 Commons vote on Trident, which at the time was calling for further public and parliamentary debate.
The fact that an even broader coalition has now come together on the basis of outright opposition to Trident replacement shows how opposition to the plans has toughened but also widened. This isn't any longer about peace groups, but all those who can see that it makes sense in the current context of escalating public debt.

Unbeknownst to Eliza Berkeley, the second daughter of a baron, the man she thought she was going to marry was not Stephen Huntington, the Duke of Wyndale. Thankfully, the reprobate does not appear for the wedding. The true duke arrives instead. Will a match formed originally through deceit blossom into love this Christmas? Or will the imposter ensure neither experiences happiness ever again?
Genre: historical romance
Publishing date: May 2016
Mature content: nothing to report
Review: Joy to the World is a short story, and as such you can't expect a very deep plot or super developed characters, but if you accept that, this is an easy, interesting read. Though much lighter, it vaguelly reminded me of Jane Austen's romances. There are one or two details that don't add up, namely Eliza's claim that her first marriage was for love when she says, in her own words, that she knew very little about the groom, so I can't rate it with more than four stars. In any case, if you're looking for a quick read to take your mind off of the holidays stress, this is a good option.
Happy readings,

Almost a quarter of children and young Irish people are concerned about the recession, describing it as the worst thing about living in Ireland, a new study shows.
Ahead of this weekend's children's referendum, the results of a nationwide study into the views of over 65,000 young people in Ireland were released on Wednesday.
Commissioned by the Department of Children, respondents aged four to 23 were asked three questions about an Irish childhood: What is the best thing about being a child in Ireland; what is the worst thing about being a child in Ireland; and what is the one thing you would change in Ireland that would make children happy?
According to the report, those surveyed see the recession as a major source of stress for their parents. They are also aware that their families have less money.
Some key findings of the reports show that children think that:
*The best things in Ireland were education (21 percent), sport (16 percent), friends (14 percent), and Irish identity (11 percent).
* The worst things were the Irish economy and finances (23 percent), weather (16 percent), education (14 percent), and anti-social behaviour and crime (10 percent).
* If they could, young people and children would change education (23 percent), followed by the economy and finances (17 percent), social problems (9 percent), and places to go (7 percent).
Launching the report on Wednesday, Frances Fitzgerald TD, Minister for Children stated: "This report documents the views of 66,705 children and young people and is the biggest public consultation with children and young people ever conducted in Ireland."
"The last time such a consultation took place, back in 1999, ahead of preparations for the National Children's Strategy, there were only 825 responses from children and young people. More remarkably, I note that there are over 4,000 schools in Ireland, and some 38% of these participated in the consultation."
This Saturday a referendum concerning children's rights in Ireland is due to take place which proposes one new Article with four subsections, which affirms the rights of the child and allows the State in exceptional circumstances to take the place of parents, according to RTE News.

Mazda has already given us a sneak-peak at its long-awaited 2010 Mazda3, and while we like what we've seen so far, we want more. We know that team Zoom Zoom is adding a new 2.5L engine to replace the outgoing 2.3L engine, and that the full Monte will be shown at the LA Auto Show next month, but anything more would be great. We came across a short video clip of the Mazda3 in action, but it's 12 seconds long and shows the same three photos we've already seen with moving wheel animations. Needless to say, it's a little disappointing. Now is as good of a time as any to look at the high-resolution pics we do have in the gallery below, and if you need help imagining what Mazda's top-selling sedan looks like in motion, hit the jump.

Bates, owned by Cordiant Communications Group, revealed an alliance between its media operation and Optimedia after the office of Bates USA West, Irvine, Calif., lost the $500 million Hyundai Motor America media account earlier this year, leaving the unit without any billings clout in the marketplace. Optimedia is part of the larger Zenith Optimedia Group, which is 75% owned by Publicis Groupe and 25% by Cordiant.
Kevin Coyne, Bates North America's top media executive, today is leaving the company for personal reasons, according to the agency. Mr. Coyne was unavailable for comment, and company officials would only confirm that he was leaving.
Transition team
A replacement for Mr. Coyne will not be named; instead Bates media interests are being overseen by a transition team of several key Bates executives including Gary Steele, managing director of Bates' retail group; Tom Morelli, senior vice president and media planning director; John Lazarus, director of broadcast relations; and Optimedia CEO Mike Drexler.
Optimedia and Bates media executives negotiated deals together for their clients in the recent network upfront, a partnership that accelerated the merging of the two media departments.
"We handled all of the network upfront already. That was very successful," Mr. Drexler said. "We worked together on that effort. That was phase one."
Moving offices
The Bates media department is moving from the agency's offices in New York's garment district to Optimedia's offices a few blocks south at Herald Square.
"We're shooting to have everyone down here by Sept. 1," Mr. Drexler said. "The network buying group is moving over very soon, and then we are going to start to move their planning group over and the spot buying groups. We've got all the office space ready for them to come over. We've got all the resources, systems and hardware that they need. This is now one team."
Mr. Drexler said Mr. Lazarus, who recently was hired to act as a liaison between Bates and Optimedia, is spearheading the merger. Mr. Lazarus was a former longtime senior vice president and executive director of national broadcast at TN Media, now part of Interpublic Group of Cos. Mr. Drexler, who also was recently hired by Optimedia, was once the chairman of TN Media.
Wendy's to shift
Bates' media accounts that move to Optimedia include Wendy's International and T. Rowe Price, which contribute the bulk of its $430 million in media billings. Estee Lauder Co. will stay at Bates due to a conflict with Optimedia's L'Oreal business, Mr. Drexler said.
According to a press release issued by Bates, Mr. Coyne is leaving to start his "open his own business outside the communications field." Mr. Coyne did not return a phone call. Paul Levine, Bates' chief marketing officer, said he did not know the nature of the Mr. Coyne's new business.
Mr. Coyne, who was also a member of the Bates North American board, spent 12 years at Bates USA West before joining the New York office in 1998. He was part of the original management team that in 1986 opened Bates' West Coast operations in Irvine and later Los Angeles.

|Re: Mordell Weil generator for y^2=x^3+7823
I agree with Michael. One piece of evidence for his last comment > In terms of measuring computational difficulty, I think the x-coordinate > height is more appropriate, since it measures the size of the actual > coordinates we are looking for. is clear if you look at the bound between the canonical height and the "naive" or Weil height, which for a point P=(x,y) is h(P)=log(max(num(x),den(x))). With the larger normalization for h^(P), which I use, the quantity which is bounded (for a given curve) is |h(P)-h^(P)|, so h^(P) is telling you about the naive size of the point (up to the bounded error). With the smaller normalization it is |h(P)-(1/2)h^(P)| which is bounded (see Silverman's papers on this bound, for example). Years ago I suggested to Henri Cohen that he change the normalization used in Pari, as I got tired of having to type 2*hell(e,p) (as the function was then called). He did not change hell (noe ellheight) at all, but did change the height pairing, so that one can compute regulators in a way compatible with B&SD. So my gpalias file has the entry ellht(e,p)=2*ellheight(e,p) Magma uses "my" normalization, since it borrowed my code; I hope that David does not want to change that now, as it would break quite a few programs!

I think that this brief went went overall as I think it was one of the first briefs where we could implement some of the things we had been learning about type in our Context Of Practice & Design Principle sessions.
For the research part of the brief I think that I would have used a different story having known what we was going to be using them for as I found it hard to find things that were not overly disturbing or sincere and also there was not much leeway to work with keeping to the initial story so I had to go off onto a tangent. I would also have tried to look for more actual graphic design research as I mainly concentrated on actual facts and images which I still found challenging to find things that I could use to interpret in a design form.
One of the things that worked from the crits we had about the poster was the use of a bright pink as it accentuated who the target audience was and also appealed to the target audience. The use of a font which had a bold and dashed version of it helped to emphasis the idea of cosmetic surgery and how it they marks patients with pen before surgery. One of the things that didn't work so well was that the poster could sometimes be seen to be offensive or stereotype women and what they get done in terms of cosmetic surgery and stereotypes cosmetic surgery in general.
For the Distribution part of the brief I decided to take into account some of the feedback received during the anonymous crits about using glossy paper to accentuate the idea of 'over-the-top look, and artificialness'.
One of the things that I would have done different given more time would be to print out the mailshots on double sided glossy paper at a professional printers as I printed them on my own printer on 2 separate photo paper. I would also change the one of the mailshots as I think looking back at it now it looks like I had chosen a image with low resolution to work from but it was in fact a filter that I applied.
One of the things that worked really well was the envelope printed on double sided paper instead of 2 pieces of standard paper as it made everything look professional and like a final product, I would also say the getting the poster reprinted on high quality satin added to this. Things that didnt work so well was when printing on my printer some of the colours came out different to what they needed to be and I think this made the mailshots look separate but still part of a set but not as in conjunction as I wanted.

Rep. Nadler Claims 'You Bought It, You Own It' Is An 'Extreme Digital View'
from the oh-really? dept
He's already off to a dangerous start, introducing a bill to create artist resale rights (something he's done before. This is an issue we've written about many times, creating a ridiculous idea that people who buy artwork no longer own it outright. Any time they resell the artwork at auction, they might have to pay some of the proceeds back to the original artist. As with the fashion copyright idea, what this does is harm innovative new artists by favoring wealthy established artists. As we've discussed, this punishes investors who are willing to support new artists, taking away their incentive to invest in those artists, while at the same time decreasing the incentive for other artists to continue producing art (since now they get paid multiple times for the same work).
Given all that, it's quite clear what Rep. Nadler thinks about basic concepts like property rights: he's not a fan at all. In fact, in a rather astounding statement to the Association of American Publishers, Nadler claimed that the idea that "you bought it, you own it" is somehow extremist:
"The 'you bought it, you own it' principle is an extreme digital view and I don't think it will get much traction," he said, referring to the mantra of proponents of the right to resell digital goods.Oh really? The specific discussion concerned people wanting to be able to resell used ebooks, just like they can resell regular books. But, really, the idea that "you bought it, you own it" is somehow extremist? Isn't that a fundamental concept in property rights? In fact, we've highlighted how copyright maximalists are trying to destroy property rights by denying people the basic ownership rights over things they bought.
It seems extremely troubling when such a key member of the House subcommittee on intellectual property has such a negative view of our basic property rights.

Context: insurance, risk management, microeconomics
Adverse selection (also known as antiselection) refers to the tendency where people who are more likely to incur a loss to acquire insurance. Thus the pool of risks that are borne by an insurance company increases in riskiness as time goes on.
As a concrete example, consider motor insurance. Suppose that premiums are set assuming that the insured will make a claim once every two years. For bad drivers who make a claim once every year, then the premium charged by the insurance company is less than what they should have paid. Thus these bad drivers are attracted to take out insurance policies at these lower premiums, while better drivers would be drawn away from taking the same policies.
Along with moral hazard, adverse selection is a risk that an insurance company that wants to avoid ruin must manage. Rapid increase in the riskiness of the pool means a rapid increase in both the number and the amount of claims that needs to be paid out, increasing the likelihood of ruin.
The main strategy in combating adverse selection is underwriting. Here the insurance company wants to know as much as possible the riskiness of the insured so that it could decide whether to insure, and at what premiums to charge. The aim is to detect bad risks and charge them higher premiums or to refuse insurance at all.

- Aion's new Twitter feed functionality, with its fluid integration into the game, makes it easy for players to display their bragging rights to their friends. Players can capture and Twitpic up to ten of their favorite screenshots using the updated in-game UI
Aion®: Assault on Balaurea™ (Aion 2.0) evolves the game's story and terrain as it expands the game world of Atreia far beyond the traditional territories of Asmodae and Elysea. In this new chapter of Aion, characters take the fight against the invading Balaur into Balaurea, the Balaur's homeland, through a counterassault against that massive, dragonlike enemy race and its allies. Aion: Assault on Balaurea will leave players breathless as they encounter jaw-dropping new challenges, novel and updated instances and zones, an increased level cap, and fresh weapons, items, skills, and flight mechanics. And characters will not be exploring the new zones all by themselves, as Aion: Assault on Balaurea introduces functional pets equipped with in-game benefits that will rapidly become constant character companions.

- n. Plural form of cape.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
I have a series of pics of my little "superheroes in capes" running around our backyard as well … there's nothing sweeter.
It's kind of like Alan Moore's middle finger at the entire notion of masked men in capes swooping in to save the day.
My only question is: After the conclusion of the Deathtrap crossover, how is Vigilante not up to his mask in capes?
Quick Hits – Star Trek Novel, Amazing Spiderman Family #7, Captain Americ #600, Young Allies Anniversary Special, and More
Biba's success has been immediate – the collection, which features retro styles such as faux fur leopard print jackets and feather capes, is already House of Fraser's bestselling womenswear brand, with sales of more than £500,000 in the first fortnight.
It might surprise some parents to realize that a lot of the books that involve people in capes and cowls beating up on each other to fight crime aren't necessarily going to be guaranteed kid-friendly.
(They may appear to be making catty remarks about their acquaintance Jean Paul's taste in capes, but it's a passionate discussion about the previous stand-in for Bruce Wayne.)
The floor was thick with kneeling pilgrims, and up by the altar, amid the swinging tides of incense, moved priests in capes glittering like seashells.
Pilgrimage with La Virgen de Zapopan from "A House in the Sun" by Dane Chandos
The second floor is jammed with teenagers in capes, little kids with wizard hats and various kinds of wands (I favor the ones whose tips light up) and adults, most of whom thankfully are not in costume, wandering amid forlorn, untouched displays of non-Harry-Potter-related books.

ICOLD Statement, 30 May 2012
Paris, May 30th 2012 -- Following recent statements by some organizations according to which International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) was currently conducting an inspection of the Irrawaddy Myitsone dam, in Myanmar, ICOLD wishes to clarify the following:
What is ICOLD and what are its missions
ICOLD follows UN rules respecting national sovereignty. It issues recommendations on the state-of-the art of dam engineering but it does not have any operational role in dam building.
ICOLD is therefore not entitled to evaluate a particular dam project and has never been engaged in any mission to do so.
ICOLD is mainly a forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience in dam engineering. With an annual meeting in a different country every year and a Congress every three years (this year in Kyoto), ICOLD has built up nearly one century of knowledge, since its founding year 1928. ICOLD leads the profession in setting standards and guidelines to ensure that dams are built and operated safely, efficiently, economically, and are environmentally sustainable and socially equitable.
ICOLD is a professional organization, dedicated to advancing the art and science of dam engineering and promoting the wise and sustainable development and management of world's water and hydropower resources.
ICOLD is assisting nations to prepare to meet the challenges of the 21st century in the development and management of the world's water and hydropower resources, as defined again by the last World Water Forum in Marseille.
The builder of the Irrawaddy Myitsone dam project in Myanmar has directly asked experts coming from countries with long term experience in building and operating large dams to assess its work.
Independently of that project, Myanmar has begun last year a process of obtaining ICOLD membership. As many other developing countries which have recently joined ICOLD (most recently, in 2011, Georgia, Armenia and Uzbekistan), Myanmar knows that dams are a crucial tool for development and wishes to share the technical knowledge with the 95 countries composing ICOLD. ICOLD will be glad to welcome Myanmar, once the preparation process is ended. That will include the creation of a Myanmar Committee on Large Dams.

text: Hello, I am UnseenHero. I do not know much about Hacking or how to do it. I am the one that follows the directions. But I have a question for the hacking community. I was speaking with a friend of mine about the Wii and its headset compatibility. The only one thats compatible for the Wii is the PDP Headbange Headset. I just bought myself some Tritton AX180 and asked why wouldn't these work since they do use USB port. He told me it is something inside the Headset. But then he also informed me Wii speak uses ios56 and the headset ios58. So that got me wondering. Is it possible to alter ios58 so you can use any headset? Or is it something within the PDP Headbanger headset that makes it work? Or is it just not possible to alter the ios. Please I am not smart about this subject and please don't flame me for askign a dumb question if one is asked. Thank You for reading. -UnseenHero


text: I was hoping someone with some experience with gaming on the Windows side could tell me how much of an increase in terms of Fps I can get from getting the i7 version over the i5? For instance, I know I could get between 19-25 fps playing Crysis 2 on my old 2010 Air...would it be possible to get close to the same on a 2011 Ultimate? I would keep the resolution at 1024 x 560 and low settings. (BTW- I do not want a Windows only notebook due to constant QA issues and a 15" Pro is too much for me). Thanks!

Remember that line from Forest Gump, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get"? Well, I think life is like a pecan tart. At least my life is.
Sometimes life is hard, crusty and it falls apart like the shell but sometimes it has its sweet and nutty moments like the filling but in the end you realize it is just big gooey albeit yummy mess. Once you're done, all you can do is wash your hands and move on.
Pecan tarts are a 2 step process. First step is to make the tart shells. The crust on these pecan tarts is a standard crust made with shortening, butter, flour, salt and water. Let me re-iterate that I suck when it comes to making dough and I don't appear to be getting better. My dough was soft but very crumbly and I could not roll it out without it breaking apart. Frustration began to set in but I refused to let this dough go to waste. I was not able to roll it out to fit the tart forms so instead I rolled the dough into balls and molded them by hand into muffin tins instead. I then set them in the fridge to chill while I worked on part 2.
Now time to make the filling. The filling was made with butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and eggs. I mixed the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup over a double boiler just until the butter was melted. I let it cool for a few minutes then mixed in 2 beaten eggs and vanilla. This mixture was then poured into the tart shells. Before placing the tarts into the oven, I sprinkled pecans on top of each.
The tarts were placed in the oven to bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. I watched the filling bubble and I could smell sweetness in the air as they baked. My only issue was that the crust was not turning as golden a hue as I had hoped. Even the last-minute egg wash I completed did not help.
As soon as I took them out of the oven, I placed them back in the fridge to set for 2 hours. I was still very disappointed in the tart crust and lack of colour but how did they taste? Damn sweet! The filling was a good consistency, not too runny and the pecans had a nice contrasting crunch. I suppose it made up for my lackluster crust. I definitely will need to practice these again.

It is a legal requirement that your banns of marriage are published before you get married. This means the Church publishes your intent to marry so that anyone who knows of a genuine legal reason why the union can not happen may lodge an objection. A valid objection must be something recognised in law as prohibiting your ability to marry. It does not mean that someone who wishes to cause trouble, or who is simply not happy with the idea of your wedding can prevent you getting married.
Banns are usually called on three successive Sundays at our 11am Sung Mass within a three month period before the wedding. It is almost unknown for any objection ever to be made. A certificate proving that no objection was made must then be given to the priest officiating at the wedding.
Banns must be called in the Church of England parishes in which both bride and groom are resident. If you both live in the same parish, then banns only need to be published in one parish. Banns should only be published at St Benet's if you live within the boundaries of our parish, which are shown here.
Please be in touch with Fr Peter if you would like to have your banns published at St Benet's. You need to fill in this Banns application form and return it to him. There is a standard fee of £40 (as of Jan 2016) required to be charged by all churches for the publication of banns and the issuing of a certificate.

Jesus once said this way "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." (John 7:38). The rivers He was referring to here is the Holy Spirit and the effects He produces in the life of a believer – ie the "fruits"
What do these fruits look like? Galatians 5:22-23 says, "the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance." This fruit is the product of the Holy Spirit, not our effort. They will flow as we conform our thinking to God's Word.
Our spirit always has these attributes regardless of what we feel in our emotions. Failure to understand this has caused many Christians to think they would be hypocrites to express a "fruit" like joy when in truth they feel something to the contrary. However, we need to understand that it's only our soulish part that gets these "feelings". Our spirit is always bearing the fruit of "love, joy, peace, etc."
For a person who is seeking to walk in the Spirit, it is actually hypocritical to let our soulish emotions dominate our spiritual emotions. The truth is, our spirit is never depressed, just our soul. Those who understand this have the choice of letting their soul depress them or letting the Holy Spirit, through their born-again spirit, release the joy and peace spoken of here.
The "fruit" is not produced by the believer, but by the Holy Spirit, as we live in union with Him. Our part is to yield and trust; God's part is to produce the fruit.
Be blessed!

A propos de Darko
I'm Darko from Pula from Croatia
Evaluation sur les logements de Darko
Ju 4.0 10/08/2015
The apartment is equipped with all the basics you need. However, we had to get toilet paper ourselves and got towels only on request (although the description said towels would be there). Also, there are absolutely no mosquito protections in the windows! So either you bring lots of mosquito protection spray bottles or you somehow survive the hot nights with closed windows (you can rent a fan though, which we didn't). Huge plus tho: washing machine!
The place is located in the area Valdebek. Walking distance to town centre is 30 minutes. The closest beach is Pjescala uvala, which is more than 2km distance (NOT 1,5km!). All other beaches are even further away. So you really should at least have a bicycle if you want to comfortably get around the area of Pula.
All in all, if you are looking for something fancy, this place is not recommendable. But if you are happy with the provision of the basics and prefer a more authentic stay among local people, this place is perfect and cheap, too!

Our host doesn't seem to know what she is supposed to provide. But the whole family is very nice and generous! We were given vegetables from the garden and could even use the grill. They are very communicative, the mother speaks a bit German, and the son English. This way, we got to know a lot about the area and how to get around there.

Wednesday, December 04, 2002
A Heinz Field spectator held an impromptu press conference to announce his disapproval of Big East officiating during the November 30th Pitt/West Virginia collegiate football game.
"Hey ref, get off your knees cause you're blowing the game," chief spectator Greg Jones, 23, of Aliquippa declared after a holding penalty cost Pitt an apparent touchdown.
Jones' comment was directed at Big East Field Judge James Donaldson, who called the aforementioned penalty as well as a roughing-the-passer call against Panther Middle Linebacker Gerald Hayes.
Big East authorities are currently investigating the accusations of fellatio against Donaldson and his crew.
"Historically, authority figures take certain liberties over younger and more vulnerable subjects. One need only remember President Clinton and Monica Lewinksy, or more recently the Catholic Priest scandal. That's why we are taking these allegations very seriously. We do not condone any lewd or improper acts by any of our referees against any player, team, or physical sporting match," said Big East Commissioner Michael A. Tranghese.
Jones later consoled his officiating frustrations throughout the rest of the contest with the flask of Jim Beam he smuggled into the stadium. By the end of the 3rd quarter, Jones had reportedly forgotten making the allegations against Donaldson.

The Institute of Community Health Research (ICHR) in cooperation with Bernhard Nocht Institute of Tropical Medicine, Hamburg, Germany implement a project on epidemiology and management of snakebites in Thua Thien Hué (TT Hué) province from 2016 - 2018.
Snakebites are a neglected health condition with an estimated 100,000 deaths worldwide each year and approximately 400,000 victims suffer permanent disabilities. Epidemiological data on number of snakebites are largely missing and up to date no data are available from Vietnam. Anti-venom the essential drug in management of venomous snakebites is not available in central and district hospitals in TT Hué province.
Short description of 5 snakes in our brochure
The objective of the present project is to obtain data on number of snakebites in TT Hué province and improve health care for snakebite patients in the province.
The project team with Professor Vo Van Thang, Dr. Nguyen Hoang Lan, Dr. Nguyen Phuc Thanh Nhan, Dr. Bui Thi Phuong Anh, Ms. Tran Thi Tao, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy and Dr. Jörg Blessmann will implement a community study on epidemiology of snakebites in TT Hué province, to obtain reliable data about frequency of snakebites in three different regions in the province, the mountainous, coastal and urban/suburban region. A KAP survey will obtain qualitative data on knowledge, attitude and practise of medical staff and community members about snake fauna, first aid and treatment for snakebite victims.
A second part of the project focuses on management of snakebites at Hué University Hospital. Antivenom for treatment of venomous snakebites will be purchased from the Institute of Vaccine and Medical Biologicals (IVAC), Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa, Vietnam and Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute (QSMI) in Bangkok, Thailand.
A workshop about management of snakebites for medical staff from ICU, emergency room and surgical department and continuous bedside teaching will improve knowledge and practical skills.

Midnight Sun Lyrics
Song Meaning
Verse 1
Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice, warmer than the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace rising to a snowy height.
Each star it's own aurora borealis, suddenly you held me tight,
I could see the midnight sun.
Verse 2
I can't explain the silver rain that found me--or was that a moonlight veil?
The music of the universe around me, or was that a nightingale?
And then your arms miraculously found me,suddenly the sky turned pale,
I could see the midnight sun.
Verse 3
Was there such a night, it's a thrill i still don't quite believe,
But after you were gone, there was still some stardust on my sleeve.
Verse 4
The flame of it may dwindle to an ember, and the stars forget to shine,
And we may see the meadow in december, icy white and crystalline.
But oh my darling always i'll remember when your lips were close to mine,
And we saw the midnight sun.

And here we have Yavanna talking to Mom. Cell phones were only allowed in the rooms. And even then, they were only to call the family, not to chat with friends. That bookshelf behind her turned into our pantry. We gathered a lot of goodies throughout the week!
After breakfast we all gathered outside for a group photo of all the World Changers together. Then we all went back into the cafeteria to meet with our crews. I was on the Tool Timers. "Hmmm, it sounds like a roofing crew to me!" I thought. Every time I've been to World Changers I've been on a roofing crew. So I was hopeful. When I got to the Tool Timers' table I saw one guy sitting there already, Mason. A few minutes after I sat down two more guys came over, Blue Steel and Twin. They all greeted each other and started talking about stuff that was going on. "Do they know each other?" I thought. Now usually in World Changers they split up church groups so that people can meet new people. They usually put one guy and one girl from the same church together on a crew so that they know at least one other person. Why was that not the case this time?
I still didn't see Mischief (guy from my church), he was supposed to be on my crew. Anyways, our crew chief, crew encourager, and Mrs. H (lady chaperone from our church) came and sat down. We introduced our selves, etc. Then three girls came over and sat down at our table. They were all from the same church as well. Two of them turned out to be BFFs. Oh great! How will I deal with this all week long?! Mischief came in late, but I was glad to see him. He knew Mason because they were rooming together. (Our guys were sharing a room with another church as well.) I looked around the table. Everyone looked to be in highschool. I was glad. "Maybe they will be hard workers," I thought. "They look like good responsible people." But this also meant that I was the oldest non-chaperone on my crew. Yes! I have seniority! Maybe I'll get first go at the power tools! No one would believe that I had completed my second year in college. They said I looked too young. But I'm used to hearing that.
Then our crew chief made an announcement: He was not our real crew chief. Our first crew chief had to leave the night before because his wife was sick. So he left and took all his tools with him. So our new crew chief was chosen the night before. And he had no clue as to what he was doing! "Uh, that's okay," I thought. "No problem! I've done roofs before. I know the process."
He then proceeded to inform us that our project was to paint a Mr. Percy's carport and adjoining shed and put up ceiling tile in his house. He even said right then that we may not get it all finished by the end of the week. What! Since when does World Changers paint sheds? Now I can understand ceiling tile, but his shed? We are supposed to help people in need! I was confused and a little bummed to be stuck on a painting crew. But I tried to stay positive. Then I remembered that the Chief said he didn't know what he was doing. What kind of man is this? He doesn't know how to paint? And he doesn't think we'll finish in time? We haven't even looked over the place yet! How can he say we won't be able to do it? He doesn't even know! God are you trying to kill me? I didn't pray for patience!
"I know all about painting," said Mrs. H. "Okay, good," said the chief. "I'll put you and Encourager in charge with that and Mischief and I will do the ceiling tile inside." Mischief had done ceiling tile before, so he knew how. Thank you Lord! Things are coming together! Way to go Mrs. H!
Then we assigned crew positions. I volunteered for medic, Blue Steel and Twin were the break masters, Montana was the devotions leader, and Em was the Evangelism recorder.
Then we went to our host church's service. A man from the church, Mr. R, drove over to show us the way there. It was a fairly new church, just 18 months old. Yet they had sponsored a World Changers crew last year also! The church was in a plaza between a scrapbooking store and another store. The people there were very nice! And the service went right along with our World Changers theme this year: 1 John 1:5-7. That was pretty cool!
After the service the gave us lunch: Spaghetti, salad, and chocolate cake. The tables were small (sat 2 to 3 people). So the three girls sat at one table and the guys sat at two tables (I guess they like their space). So I sat at another table and Mrs. H joined me. Mr. chief and Mrs. Encourager sat at another table. They invited Mrs. H over. "I would but I don't want to leave her all by herself," she replied. I just wanted to leave at this point. I felt like I was in 7th grade all over again. I should be through with this! I'm in college now! Besides, I eat by myself all the time! I don't really care anymore!
Right then I just wanted it all to be over. That great sermon, those nice girls we were rooming with, that 19 hour drive, none of that seemed to be worth it then. I just wanted to get the heck away from these people and their stupid immaturity. Lord help me! I prayed through most of our drive over to our work site. Mr. R lived in that area so he said he'd drive us over. But he got lost. We found it eventually, though.
We met Mr. Percy and his granddaughter and gave them some spaghetti and the rest of the cake. He declined the cake, though. We looked around the house and checked on the tools given to us. All we had were the ceiling tiles, drop cloths, primer, paint, paint pans, and two rollers. No brushes, no sprayers, no bleach, no ladders, no staple gun. In other words we would not be able to work tomorrow until we acquired these things. So Mrs. H and I made a list.
Normally we'd go door to door in the neighborhood and let the neighbors know that we were World Changers and we'd be there early in the mornings working on the house making noise, etc. However, Mr. Percy didn't really live in a neighborhood. There were only a few houses and then there were fields of cattle. So we hopped on the bus and drove back to the school.
We arrived just in time for evangelism training. But it was done differently this year. In fact, it wasn't done at all. Then we went to crew position training. Surfer and Veggie (two guys from my church) were the medics for their crews. I wonder how that happened? They would be the ones to get hurt, I'd think. I found that to be intersting.
Anyway, I was feeling a little better about things by now. I knew that it was all just a matter of time and God would make everything work out okay. I just had to keep telling myself this over and over. I would start out the day right tomorrow. It was all going to be fine right? Right?

While making it, the testers and I talked about all of the fun things the bobbles could be turned into, including pumpkins. Here is how I turned the pumpkin hat into a matching treat bag. The bobbles make cute sports balls too! ...and wouldn't Snappy smiles be fun?
|Using the Beach Comber pattern, follow the pumpkin variation, making the top medium brown and the bottom section and ribbing orange. The sample was made using Red Heart Cafe and Carrot. Pumpkins are Red Heart Pumpkin with Tea Leaf drawstring.
|With matching yarn and yarn needle, weave in and out of last round of hat. Pull as snug as possible, and then tie to secure.
|With black embroidery floss and needle, stitch little faces on the bobbles. Cute as a hat and neckwarmer too!

Well today is the day that Donald Trump outlined his first policy plan to combat illegal immigration...well sort of.
So here are just a few of its highlights:
He will build a wall along our southern border with Mexico and somehow he is going to make them pay for it. How that will happen is unclear. Strong-arming another country does not typically work when it comes to the exchange of cash so for all of his blustering I doubt he will be able to fulfill #1 on his list.
He is going to defend the laws and Constitution of the United States. Well now isn't that special...isn't that exactly what the President of the United States is supposed to do. Many on the right will argue that President Obama did follow this rule, but in fact he did. They may not like it, but he in fact did act lawfully. But I digress. Mr. Trump will triple the number of ICE officers paying for this by eliminating tax credit payments to illegal immigrants. I'm not certain what we are talking about in real dollars and cents here, but to his credit he at least has offered some method of paying for the additional manpower.
He will implement nationwide e-Verify. This has been around for many years (since 1996) and never been made mandatory. Mr. Trump is not offering anything new program here. This in my opinion has always been one of the best ways to combat illegal immigration. If you eliminate their means of employment then in most cases you eliminate their reason for coming here illegally in the first place. There is such harsh rhetoric lodged at illegal immigrants, but we have not been holding employers responsible for their actions. Now is certainly the time to make this a mandatory program as it always should have been..
He is committing to end birthright citizenship. Mr. Trump references a Rasmussen Report piece from 2011 claiming that voters, by a 2:1 margin are in favor of ending birthright citizenship for children born here by illegal immigrants. While this is compelling, it flies in the face of his promise to defend our laws and our Constitution. As it stands, the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution precludes him from following through on this promise.
Ultimately the question is how does the U.S. deal with the illegal immigrants already here. Trump has proposed nothing short of rounding them up, while keeping families together and deporting them. This in my opinion is neither practical nor possible. The resources in manpower, equipment and time make this not only a daunting task, but an impossible one as well regardless of what he says. The most logical way to proceed is to provide a logical path to citizenship as many even on the right have expressed in the past.
In the end, although he has made an attempt to offer something to his supporters that they may find presidential he offers it with clear racist undertones. He continues to accuse the Mexican government of sending us their criminals. I am very confident saying that the vast majority of individuals that cross the border illegally are doing it to make a better life for themselves and their families not to commit crimes as Trump is implying. Yes, there have been several instances where an illegal immigrant has been deported and come back across the border to commit heinous crimes, but this is not the norm. Really--what do you think the likelihood is that Mexico is putting their undesirables on a bus and dropping them off at our border? I for one think it is highly unlikely. And lastly his plan to defy the 14th amendment by ending birthright citizenship would create a huge legal battle that could last for many years as well as requiring a change to a longstanding amendment that was hard fought to achieve almost 150 years ago. No matter how distasteful this may be to some people, until changed it is the law of the land.
Let's see what other "terrific" plans Mr. Trump comes up with over the coming weeks. I for one will be waiting with baited breath.
