The lists below will help you find your nearest Siamese cat rescue centers.
These centers are generally run by individuals or small groups of people who are passionate about the breed and in many cases have dedicated their time and their own money to rescuing and caring for pedigree cats.
They may be breeders or ex-breeders who have the cattery facilities to offer cats space in their own homes, or otherwise cats may be fostered with volunteers until permanent homes can be found for them.
So if you're thinking about adopting a cat, why not contact your nearest center?

... know that taking in an abandoned cat may not be for everyone. It's not always plain sailing. Many cats taken into adoption centers come with 'baggage' and behavioral problems.
They may have been harmed or mistreated in the past and may not be too trusting of humans, and it may take time (in some cases, a lot of time) and patience before they settle in and become loving family pets again.
Before contacting one of the centers below, take a look at my Siamese Cat Adoption page for a full list of things to think about.
And if you'd like to know what adopting a cat can be like, why not take a look at Siamese Cat Adoption Stories?
I've put together a list of all the rescue centers I can find around the world. You'll find this list below.
I'm not associated with any of these groups, but if you have
any problems contacting any of the centers listed, do please let me know
so that I can keep the details up to date.
... and you can't adopt it yourself and don't know what to do with it,
rather than handing it in to a general animal pound, why not try
contacting your nearest center for advice on what to do next?
If you do, and it isn't listed here and you would like to be included, please contact me by using the form on my 'Contact Us' page.

SANTIAGO, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Chile is open to negotiating an additional quota of lithium for local miner SQM to meet potential additional demand from U.S. electric car-maker Tesla, Eduardo Bitran, head of Chilean development agency Corfo, told Reuters on Monday.
Bitran said Tesla and SQM were "exploring" opportunities after Tesla expressed interest in buying "important volumes" of lithium hydroxide, a key ingredient in the batteries used in electric vehicles, from SQM. (Reporting by Felipe Iturrieta, writing by Dave Sherwood Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)

Some people lost it when they saw the live stream. Some lost it when they saw the playground. Some more people lost it when they saw Tetsuya Nomura's name flash across the screen. More people lost it when the music started with those haunting keys. Many more people lost it when they saw Midgar, and most people began crying when they saw Cloud's sword. I'm part of the generation of gamers that considers Final Fantasy VII to be the best of the series. Advent Children impacted me tremendously as a child and even though I can't get it to run properly, I do have a copy of the game for PC that I played through for a while. To many of you reading this, FFVII was your childhood, impacting you in ways not realised until reaching adulthood. It is a game that transcends age gaps and takes us all back to when we were young.
These are some of the best reactions I've seen to the announcement on YouTube. Go on, hit the jump. Enjoy ALL the feels. Also, forewarning, some videos do include swearing.
In this video, the Game Trailers team goes ballistic after the announcement. Make sure to also skip to 4:00 and watch for a bit.
This man, with a Sephiroth tattoo, nogal, pledges to buy a PlayStation 4 just to play the remake!
This dude's enthusiasm increases every second that passes with the reveal. Epic beard.
One of my favourites so far.
This guy thought Sony was actually just trolling, but seeing Barret and Cloud makes it all sink in.
This video of Maximilian Dood's reaction is likewise priceless.
I'm not sure if this dude was able to breathe, or if he even was breathing.
The happiness transcended continents and cultures.
Across the US, Sony booked out cinemas to stream the conference for cinema goers, and it sounds like the whole theater is excited in this one. Start at 1:50.

Dynamic Warm-up vs. Static StretchingHistorically, many people have performed some sort of slow warm up (perhaps a lazy jog around the perimeter of a field) then "circled up" and gone through some useless static stretches. There is no current research that supports the benefits of stretching*. Especially for sport performance, it's counterproductive. Here is what the research shows:
- Static stretching can compromise muscle performance
- …is shown to lead to a decrease in force production, power performance, running speed, reaction and movement time, and strength endurance
Still feel like stretching? What you should do instead is perform a general movement warm-up that progresses into similar movements used during an athlete's sport. The real goal of a warm-up is to increase body temperature and heart rate, and stimulate the nervous system to fire efficiently.
*There are some exceptions to this; for instance, if you're a gymnast where range of motion is ideal, static stretching prior to activity may have performance benefits.

I'm struck and saddened by how out of touch with reality the left has become in our country. The absurd idea that Zimmerman hunted down Trayvon Martin is the latest urban myth that the low-information voter seems to be buying into. I find this quite creepy.
The inability of the truth to impact the consciousness of so many people seems to be causing grave damage to our nation. We live in a world were people honestly believe that Obama was never a Marxist socialist, that our current economic woes are due to the Bush administration, or that Trayvon Martin did nothing to make his killing legally okay.
Somehow, eventually, people will wake up to the reality of their senses and the guidance of their common sense. In the meantime, I think it is up to those of us in the Tea Party Movement to speak the truth and remind others that the truth is real and it has long-term consequences. As they say, "This is not a cherry."

"God wants us to be blessed."
God knows that we cannot live a truly happy life without him working in our lives. I will share to you the six steps to enjoy life that leads to holiness and wholeness. This was presented during our PAFTE Convention in Iloilo City.
I hope you will learn something from this. Let's get it on!!
1. Live your life loving people.
Everybody loves a humble person.
Life is short. Cut out negativity, forget gossip, say goodbye to people who hurt you. Spend your days with the people who are always there.
2. Never take revenge.
Revenge is self-destructing. It will consume you till you are exhausted of every bit goodness in your heart.
If you take revenge, the first thing you kill is usually your own happiness.
"Hurting people would hurt people more."
3. Always keep in mind that you are blessed.
Probably this is one truth that you should hold deeply in your mind and heart. Nothing on earth can take this away from you.
Meditate on it, think about it, profess it, and declare it! Do this until your whole being is soak into this truth.
Many of us do not receive our blessings because we are too busy envying what other people is enjoying.
4. Establish an amicable speech pattern.
Right speech is crucial in attracting God's blessing and practically a good life.
The tongue can attract positive or negative life depending on what comes from it.
5. Always seek the good of others.
The Lord will never prosper the people who seek to make others suffer. He cannot be an accomplish to evil. Remember, God plans good things to those who plans good things for others.
"A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You can't go anywhere until you change it."
6. Protect your heart from hurt.
Exert all the efforts to avoid pain and hurt no matter how true or false the words people are throwing against you.
Never let anybody rob you of your joy. Celebrate your life! Rehearse your blessings not your pains.
Never trust your tongue when your heart is bitter.
The Lord promise that He will always listen to your prayers.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and nor to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all you heart."
-Jeremiah 29: 11-13
God Bless Loves!!!
'Till next adventure then.
Xoxo Der.

Before I thought rationally about my mental health, I bought into the idea that antidepressant medication was bad for you – that it would somehow permanently change my brain and personality, that it was an unwanted intrusion into my person. I eventually went to see my GP when things got too bad for me to bear anymore, and I realised that the medication I was given did alter my mind – to allow me to be the person I was before I got ill. There is a ton of dodgy advice out there pushing the "natural" option, 99% of which is from people with no medical qualifications. There's a conspirational-level anti-psychiatry movement, whose followers seem fixated on the idea of "mind control". With so much nonsense being spewed under the guise of advice, it's no wonder that there are misconceptions about mental health and treatments. And this gem appeared on my Facebook feed earlier this week (I suppose this is the downside of having unlimited information at one's fingertips); which is just bloody dangerous and irresponsible:
Fortunately, someone fixed it for them:
And there are plenty of variations on this theme out there. And you know what Google is for, so go discover them yourself! But although this debunking seems like light-hearted fun, the attitudes behind the original post can have very damaging consequences. Pseudoscience kills. We could also do better with science reporting, too. This BBC News article has a valid point to make, but saves the good stuff until after the sensationalistic claims (the "extreme" side-effects described are well-documented and are listed in information leaflets accompanying the medicine. They are manageable, and should be monitored by a doctor, who may prescribe something that suits the patient better. I've used medications that really didn't suit me, and so I worked with my doctor to find ones that did. There's no one-size-fits-all, and zero-nuance articles just make life more difficult for doctors and patients). Science communication is important, and we have a responsibility to do it properly – else there is little for the unwary to distinguish between actual science and fantasy-holistic-woo-woo.

Game Director Joel Bylos has posted a new update on the future of The Secret World (TSW) and some of the changes that the team has planned for the MMOG. Bylos served up a few details about the next content update, Issue #4: Big Trouble in the Big Apple, which will include TSWs first raid in New York. But the update is also packed with a number of other features and content such as the second auxiliary weapon, the Chainsaw, the opening of a roleplaying scene with the Albion Theatre in London, where players will be able to put on plays for each other and earn rewards, and the introduction of new reticule combat.
I am also happy to reveal that Issue #4 will be introducing one of the most requested features during Beta: reticule combat. This is something I wanted to bring into the game from the moment I put on the Game Director shoes as I feel it makes combat a lot more direct and exciting. We are not forcing it upon anyone, though. You will be able to freely switch between traditional targeting and the reticule depending on what you feel is best for you.
Bylos will be hosting a livestream of the new feature on Friday, October 12th. More details about the stream will be revealed closer to the event. Bylos also touched on planned improvements to animation, evolving the storyline like a television show, improving the rivalry experience between the three factions and more.

How Do I House-Train My Newly Adopted Dog?
1 comment:
Thanks for sharing above information! I really appreciate this post, Puppies are so delightful and just not possible to resist. But we expect them not to peeing and pooing all over the dwelling. So here are some of tips you can use to set up to potty train your puppy:-ReplyDelete
• Understand that puppies needs to go to the bathroom a lot as a young puppy has a very small bladder, and they haven't yet cultured the talent to control it. So keep it in mind this when it comes to potty training your puppy.
• Establish yourself as the leader; this will help in earning your puppy's respect, trust and admiration. And your puppy will star following all your potty training instructions.
• Uphold a stringent schedule when you take your puppy out to go potty. Travel through the same door and use the same direction. With your awareness of your puppy's peeing preferences, foresee when she'll want to urine and bring her to the puppy bathroom.
• Never forget to encourage your puppy every time she pees in the right spot. Thrash out your cheery, joyful voice and lavish her with adulation and praise. Your puppy now has an emotional ingenious to do her job in the right place.

As for the last set, it is very demure and ladylike, suitable for brunch or tea with girlfriends. An afternoon of chatting to catch up with each other.
Weekend is around the corner... Any exciting or interesting plans for the weekend?

Silver Spring or Silver Springs may refer to:
Silver Spring Station is a Washington Metro station in Montgomery County, Maryland on the Red Line. It is the first station in Maryland on the eastern end of the line, and is the second-busiest Metro station in Maryland after Shady Grove. It is co-located with a MARC commuter rail station.
The station serves the suburb of Silver Spring, and is located at Colesville Road (U.S. Route 29) and East-West Highway; trains from Grosvenor–Strathmore terminate here during peak travel times. Service began on February 6, 1978. Prior to the opening of Forest Glen on September 22, 1990, Silver Spring was the terminus for the eastern end of the Red Line.
Like Brookland–CUA station, the platform at Silver Spring is slightly curved, with convex mirrors located on the inbound side of the platform to aid train operators in making sure the area is clear before closing the doors.
This station is planned to be one of the Metro stations on the Purple Line system, formerly known as the Bi-County Transitway.
Silver Spring is an unincorporated area and census-designated place (CDP) in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. It had a population of 76,716 according to 2013 estimates by the United States Census Bureau, making it the fourth most populous place in Maryland, after Baltimore, Columbia, and Germantown.
The urbanized, oldest, and southernmost part of Silver Spring is a major business hub that lies at the north apex of Washington, D.C. As of 2004, the Central Business District (CBD) held 7,254,729 square feet (673,986 m2) of office space, 5216 dwelling units and 17.6 acres (71,000 m2) of parkland. The population density of this CBD area of Silver Spring was 15,600 per square mile all within 360 acres (1.5 km2) and approximately 2.5 square miles (6 km2) in the CBD/downtown area. The community has recently undergone a significant renaissance, with the addition of major retail, residential, and office developments.
Silver Spring takes its name from a mica-flecked spring discovered there in 1840 by Francis Preston Blair, who subsequently bought much of the surrounding land. Acorn Park, tucked away in an area of south Silver Spring away from the main downtown area, is believed to be the site of the original spring.
A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive examination of the condition of a home, often in connection with the sale of that home. Home inspections are usually conducted by a home inspector who has the training and certifications to perform such inspections. The inspector prepares and delivers to the client a written report of findings. The client then uses the knowledge gained to make informed decisions about their pending real estate purchase. The home inspector describes the condition of the home at the time of inspection but does not guarantee future condition, efficiency, or life expectancy of systems or components.
A home inspector is sometimes confused with a real estate appraiser. A home inspector determines the condition of a structure, whereas an appraiser determines the value of a property. In the United States, although not all states or municipalities regulate home inspectors, there are various professional associations for home inspectors that provide education, training, and networking opportunities. A professional home inspection is an examination of the current condition of a house. It is not an inspection to verify compliance with appropriate codes; building inspection is a term often used for building code compliance inspections in the United States. A similar but more complicated inspection of commercial buildings is a property condition assessment. Home inspections identify problems but building diagnostics identifies solutions to the found problems and their predicted outcomes.
You could be my silver spring
Blue green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
your shining armour, ocean crashing
And did you say she was pretty
And did you say she loves you
Baby I don't wanna know
I begin not to love you
Turn around, see me running
I say I love you years ago
Tell myself you never loved me....no
And did you say she was pretty
And did you say she loves you
Baby I don't wanna know....oh no
And can you tell me was it worth it
Really I don't wanna know
Time cast it's spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
Time cast it's spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
I'll follow you down
Till the sound of my voice will haunt you
You'll never get away
From the sound of the woman that loves you
I'll follow you down
Till the sound of my voice will haunt you
Was I just a fool...You'll never get away
From the sound of the woman that loved you
Was I just a fool...I'll follow you down
Till the sound of my voice will haunt you
give me just a chance
(you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loved you)
never get away
never get away
never get away
You could be my silver spring

The Expo was one of several events taking place over the past one to two years that has showcased the latest in biometric technology from the world's leading manufacturers. In the U.S., increased attention to the issue has been generated as Congress, in 2016, allocated a $1 billion fund to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to acquire and implement biometric solutions to enhance international traveler security, particularly exit-tracking of foreign nationals.
Pressure from Congress has grown on DHS and its component agency responsible for administering the program, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as numerous other countries around the world have seen a rapid expansion in recent years in the use of biometrics to enforce immigration laws and track traveler identity.
CBP Biometric Technology Pilot Programs
CBP has field-tested a mobile, handheld fingerprint scanning device at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, in conjunction with its normal enforcement operations. The agency intends to enhance national security and protect travelers' identities against theft by verifying them through their fingerprints and matching them with their travel document.
This initiative was part of the overall CBP Biometric Exit (BE) Mobile initiative, in which a handheld mobile device was used to collect biometric exit data (two fingerprints) from a sampling of foreign national air travelers departing the United States. This data was then compared to the biometrics collected from when the travelers had originally entered the U.S. in order to track and verify their departure.
The equipment used for this test included commercial off the shelf hardware (Samsung phones with Grabba fingerprint additions) as well as a proprietary CBP software. The test was conducted across ten major international airports nationwide at the following locations: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago O'Hare, Newark Liberty, New York JFK, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Washington Dulles.
Additionally, facial scan and iris scan technology have been tested at both air and land ports of entry. On the land border, a test at Otay Mesa, CA captured facial scans and iris images using Unisys supplied biometric kiosks to ensure that the travel documents presented at entry and departure matched and belonged to the traveler presenting them.
Similarly, the 1-to-1 Facial Comparison Project, currently deployed at John F. Kennedy International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport, uses facial comparison technology to confirm the identity of travelers entering the United States; it also compares a photo taken of the traveler to the photo stored in their ePassport to verify that the person presenting the document is the true owner.
Industry Engagement
Earlier this year, CBP issued an industry update regarding its plans for Biometric Exit Acquisition in the air environment. CBP plans on continuing engagement with industry on better securing airports by installing facial recognition devices across major airport hubs. CBP's proposed facial biometric solution is expected to match non-U.S. citizens' departures with their ID Documents used for entry into the country. Furthermore, CBP believes this technology has the potential to automate boarding procedures by enabling airlines to install facial recognition tools that eliminate the need to check boarding passes. Instead, domestic flyers' faces would act as boarding passes.
CBP believes industry can support its Biometric Exit mission by assisting in the development or provision of the following services:
- Cloud technology
- Facial Recognition Matching Software
- Equipment for Entry Lanes
- Program Management Support
- Innovation Experiments
- Solutions for land and sea environments
With a $1 Billion fund from Congress allocated to exit tracking and raised through increases in certain visa costs (see Section 411 of Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016), Congress wants a solution fast. They've set a goal to have implementation of biometric scanning in the air-exit environment for 2018, with a land-exit environment solution following at a later time.
However, the Trump Administration is very interested in fast-tracking a biometric entry/exit system and would like to see implementation begin in 2017. Achieving full implementation, however, means CBP must implement the right-sized technology for the environment with sound procedures to establish a long-term, practical solution.
For example, based on scale alone, CBP will require the solution to be unmanned. Deploying Officers with handheld readers, as was piloted in Atlanta, would be prohibitively expensive if scaled up to cover a significant number of international airport terminal jetways across the U.S. A more practical solution would be a facial scanner that works 'at speed' on the jetways as passengers board flights with minimal to no disruption to the boarding process. As determined through testing, facial recognition seems to be the most efficient technology, as opposed to fingerprint or iris scanning.
Additionally, capture of the biometric data is just one piece of the challenge. DHS also needs to have a system that instantly matches the captured data to the data that already exists in current databases. This back-end challenge is as formidable as the biometric data-capture component itself.
While using biometrics transforms CBP's ability to enforce immigration laws and verify traveler identity, it will be crucial for the agency to take a deliberate approach to implementation, ensuring they're using the right-sized technology for the environment, and that the data being collected can effectively be with other databases from domestic and international partners in order to be useful.
To be able to access biometric data from partner agencies' databases, strategic information sharing agreements must be put in place between DHS and its domestic and international partners in order for law enforcement and intelligence agencies to leverage the full benefits of a new system.
While the Trump Administration has shared Congress's urgency on implementing a biometric entry/exit solution to an extent, the Administration's priority for CBP and DHS seems to remain focused on constructing a U.S / Mexico Border Wall and hiring additional Agents for U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It remains to be seen whether these high-profile agenda items can be pursued as concurrent priorities or whether any one will emerge as a funding priority.


text:
It is the marketing strategy adopted by manufacturers such that it discourages demand of a product.
These marketing strategies are aimed at reducing demand but not destroying it. These strategies can be adopted by either private or public organisations. Reasons for demarketing can be one or more of the following:
1. There are not enough resources, especially in case of natural resources, and hence must be preserved
2. The company cannot supply large quantities to match the demand
3. The cost of selling in a particular region is unusually high
4. Poor distribution channel/ no distribution channel available
5. The cost of promotion is unusually high
The last three can lead to reduced profit margin for the company; hence it would be in the company's interest to avoid selling in such scenarios.
Some of the common demarketing strategies are:
1. Increased prices
2. Decreased advertising/ promotional spend
3. Product redesigning
4. Providing lesser margins (to retailers etc.)
For example, IPCL-Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited uses the demarketing strategy to encourage people to use oil judiciously by the tagline "Save Oil, Save India".
Hence, this concludes the definition of Demarketing along with its overview.

- DigitalNejat Erverdi, Melih Motro.This book describes a new method of alveolar distraction osteogenesis that offers important advantages and can be used for the treatment of various orthopedic abnormalities and congenital malformations. Detailed guidance is provided on selection of patients suitable for alveolar distraction, including those with cleft lip and palate, skeletal class II malocclusions, and cystic lesions involving the alveolus. All aspects of treatment using the ArchWise distraction appliance are then covered, including technical preparation, surgical set-up and osteotomies, docking site surgery, orthodontic finishing, implant placement, and prosthetic restorations. Relevant information is also included on the principles of distraction osteogenesis and bone histology and quality after the procedure. The book concludes with helpful case presentations covering different scenarios in which ArchWise distraction of alveolar bone is appropriate.

- DigitalMani Alikhani, editor.This book is a complete reference for all clinicians who are interested in incorporating into their daily practice the techniques available to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment and to overcome other treatment limitations. It focuses especially on micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) as the most conservative, efficient, and versatile approach to increase the rate of tooth movement. The opening chapters describe the biological principles of current accelerated techniques at the molecular and cellular levels and introduce guidelines on how to select the best acceleration approach based on each patient's needs. Clinicians are then guided step by step through the application of MOPs, case selection, and treatment planning. It is explained how MOPs can be incorporated into daily mechanotherapy for the treatment of different malocclusions and how to take advantage of the catabolic and anabolic effects of the procedure to expand the boundary of orthodontic and orthopaedic corrections. The book is written in a simple and clear language with many illustrations and clinical examples to facilitate understanding of concepts and procedures. In addition, it is a rich source for academicians and researchers interested in a comprehensive and updated review on theories of tooth movement and accelerated orthodontic techniques.

Resolve® Q Enhances Corn Weed Control
The days of relying on a single shot of glyphosate for weed control in corn are long gone. Today, a tank mix that includes DuPont™ Resolve® Q herbicide is a smart way to get better control where glyphosate tolerance has been documented and to help prevent the problem in areas where it has not yet appeared.
Resolve® Q, in a tank mix with atrazine-containing corn herbicides, delivers:
- Additional contact plus residual control of tough grasses and broadleaf weeds, including triazine-resistant lambsquarters, before or after planting
- Built-in safener technology that provides corn growers the flexibility to confidently apply Resolve® Q even after corn emergence
- Faster, more-consistent burndown than glyphosate alone, plus residual activity to get a corn herbicide program off to a strong start
- An additional mode of action to help minimize the occurrence of certain herbicide-tolerant weeds
For best results:
- Apply Resolve® Q preplant incorporated, preemergence or preemergence burndown to field corn, tank mixed with full or reduced rates of other products registered for use in corn
- The addition of crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil is recommended for burndown of labeled weeds
- Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity; rainfall within five to seven days after application will enhance residual activity
- Do not apply as a fallow or preemergence treatment to coarse textured soils (sand, loamy sand or sandy loam) with less than 1 percent organic matter
Make your herbicide program work harder by including the cost-effective residual control of Resolve® Q.

Fireworks had light up the dark sky and celebrations were heard across the country as American celebrated Independence from the British as they had done over two hundred years ago. For I would like to be British and have those beautiful accents, but I do appreciate what the Founding Fathers have done for us to make this country very unique (and if you knew me, I like unique things).
So from yesterday it was crazy from me being lazy for most of the day and me driving for my first time in a empty parking lot (even stopping for a squirrel and driving on a curb) and me changing my outfit twice since apparently the one I have been wanting to wear for ages was 'too fancy' for a boat club.

This post could have been titled : What to see in Prague if you wanted to go for a roughly 10km walk. Or what to do in Prague if you've only got one day. Or better yet, what to do in Prague when there is no flood warning In fact this is my essential guide to Prague so enjoy :) First things first, link to the map of the itinerary I suggest you, this is from mapy.cz.
here. Let's say for example, you get off the udnerground at Malostranska station. You are at the foot of the castle and you can go against (one) flow of tourists by climbing the old castle steps and going to the Castle by what is usually considered it's back door. In Prague you will never be able to avoid all tourists all the time : they come at you from all directions, every time. But they normally come down from the Castle this way (so not up) and you should have less of them to worry about. Bonus point is the Castle wineyard.
Walk out of the Castle (notice the big Hercules figures at the main gate?). Don't forget to take pictures of the panorama from both the entrance and exit. Just try to find a space among the tourists perched on the wall.
Going around you can pass through a garden or park, these are hidden gems of Prague: the Vojanovy sady or the Valdstejnska zahrada. Attention, it is a lot of walking around so go there only if you are ready for it.
Next, cross the bridge, of course, but take care, it is usually full of tourists. So full that it takes longer than you would think to cross. Once on the other side of the bridge, go into Josefov, the Jewish quarter by passing through Old town. Take a look at the Castle from the Rudolfinum, a great concert hall and then continue to the jewish cemetery's back door for a peek at the tombstones without paying the exaggerated fee.
No tour of Prague would be complete without the Clock in the Old Town Square. It is easy to find: just look for were there are the most tourists. Take a walk around the Square. Sometimes there are some attactions or a market. Go inside St Tyn, the Church with 2 black belltowers.
Now you see the National Museum, walk up to the Statue of Vaclav. This is a historic place because Czech people like to start their revolutions from here. The museum offers another pretty view of Prague. After you finish taking your pictures, go to the underground station and take the tube back to the airport (towards Zlicin and then bus 100 or to the train station and then the Airport Express bus).

Important information about rhomboid muscle pain
Rhomboid muscle pain is a common symptom of upper back problems. The upper back is also known as the thoracic spine, and it's the area between the neck and the lower back. Along with rhomboid muscle pain, other symptoms of upper back problems include stiffness and muscle spasms.
There are two rhomboid muscles in the back. The rhomboid major and the rhomboid minor muscles work together to move the shoulder blades. Both muscles are skeletal muscles, which means they connect to bones and are under voluntary control most of the time.
There are many different reasons you might be suffering from rhomboid muscle pain. Overuse of the shoulders can be one cause of this pain, so you should think about whether or not you do a lot of activities involving the shoulder muscle on a regular basis. Another common cause of rhomboid muscle pain is a lot of overhead exercise. It's always important not to overdo it when you're exercising any of the muscles in your body. Surprisingly, chronic stress can also cause a lot of rhomboid muscle pain. Treatment for rhomboid muscle pain depends entirely on what's causing the pain. If chronic stress is the cause of the pain, then some simple stress-relieving exercises should help take the pain away easily.
Usually the first line of treatment for some type of back injury is ice and heat therapy. Ice and heat therapy is very important right after a back injury to speed healing and recovery. Just wrap an ice pack or a bag of ice in some towels and apply it to the muscles about once every four to six hours. You'll need to do the ice therapy for about two or three days, and then begin heat therapy. Make sure you wrap the heating pad in some towels to prevent burns.
As the ice and heat therapy begins to help, you'll gradually feel a bit of pain relief, and this is the time to start doing some upper back stretches. The only way to help a muscle heal is to keep it moving, and getting rid of rhomboid muscle pain is no different. There are three muscle stretches that will really help get your upper back muscles moving again. Many doctors recommend these same stretches to all of their upper back pain patients.
Start by standing against a wall and placing your arms against the wall with the palms against it. Keep your arms against the wall while you slide them over your head or as high as you can. Using the reverse motion, move them back down to your sides.
You may also try getting your shoulder blades moving. Sit in a chair and put your arms at your sides. Squeeze and hold your shoulder blades together for five seconds. Release it, and then repeat the motion again.
Another stretch involves sitting in a chair and crossing both arms behind your head. Bend forward a bit, arch your back and hold it for five seconds. Then release it and repeat.


text: 22 May 2016, Sunday evening earthquake was strange, very different from the majorities of felt long distance earthquakes. The past week Vancouver, BC did had a moderate earthquake which was large near Alaska, during that moderate, I didn't hear any noise cause by the moderate earthquake. Sunday evening was strange in the fact, the side way earthquake shaking was somewhat light but the building I was in did sounded the crackling sound, I knew that earthquake occurred at a far distance because the shaking itself was slow.

text: Technical Article iRules 101 - #13 - TCL String Commands Part 1 Updated 27-Apr-2017•Originally posted on 17-Feb-2009 by Jason Rahm F5 article 101 application delivery basic big-ip dev devops getting started irules techtip This article has been re-released as part of the new Intermediate iRules series in the Handling Strings article. Introduction An iRule is a powerful and flexible feature of BIG-IP devices based on F5's exclusive TMOS architecture. iRules provide you with unprecedented control to directly manipulate and manage any IP application traffic. iRules utilizes an easy to learn scripting syntax and enables you to customize how you intercept, inspect, transform, and direct inbound or outbound application traffic. In this series of tech tips, we'll talk about the TCL language, it's usage and control structures, as well as iRule extensions to the TCL language. Other articles in the series: iRules 101 – #01 – Introduction to iRules iRules 101 – #02 – If and Expressions iRules 101 – #03 – Variables iRules 101 – #04 – Switch iRules 101 – #05 – Selecting Pools, Pool Members, and Nodes iRules 101 – #06 – When iRules 101 – #07 – Catch iRules 101 – #08 – Classes iRules 101 – #09 – Debugging iRules 101 – #10 – Regular Expressions iRules 101 – #11 – Events iRules 101 – #12 – The Session Command iRules 101 – #13a – Nested Conditionals iRules 101 – #13b – TCL String Commands Part 1 iRules 101 – #14 – TCL String Commands Part 2 iRules 101 – #15 – TCL List Handling Commands iRules 101 – #16 – Parsing String with the TCL Scan Command iRules 101 – #17 – Mapping Protocol Fields with the TCL Binary Scan Command TCL: The String Command There's a philosophical discussion as to whether or not everything in TCL is a string (and whether that is a good thing or not), but whether or not you subscribe to the debate, strings play a major role in TCL, and so it is with iRules as well. TCL affords plenty of options on the string command, several of which will be covered in this article: string length string tolower string toupper string first string last We'll look at concrete examples for these commands, mostly because I find the examples they use in the TCL documentation somewhat lacking. string length string Returns a decimal string giving the number of characters in string. In this example, it is used as a conditional. If the host is set, the conditional is true and the redirect utilizes the hostname and if false, uses the local address: when HTTP_REQUEST { # Check if some condition for the request is true? if {[HTTP::query] contains "Ntt="}{ # Check if Host header value has a length if {[string length [HTTP::host]]}{ # Redirect client using Host header value HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/search.do?Ntt=[URI::query [HTTP::uri] Ntt]" } else { # Redirect client using VIP address HTTP::redirect "http://[IP::local_addr]/search.do?Ntt=[URI::query [HTTP::uri] Ntt]" } } } In this example, the rule is looking for any requests with a URI of "/" and redirects to a login page: when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[string length [HTTP::uri]] < 2} { HTTP::redirect [HTTP::host]/somepath/Login.aspx } } string tolower string ?first? ?last? Returns a value equal to string only that all upper case values are converted to lower case. If specified, first and last indicate the character index delineating string modification. It is useful to convert anything not case sensitive to increase your match and decrease your administration. For example, you can eliminate case on your host comparisons so it matches every request where case might have been misapplied. This avoids a costly regular expression, and the thought necessary to implement the expression. when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "my.domain.com" } { forward } else { discard } } string toupper works the same way, but I always use tolower, I guess lower case readability is more appealing to me. string first needleString haystackString ?startIndex? Search haystackString for a sequence of characters that exactly match the characters in needleString. If found, return the index of the first character in the first such match within haystackString. If not found, return -1. If startIndex is specified, then the search is constrained to start with the character in haystackString specified by the index. Joe highlighted an example a while back that searches the string returned from the User Agent header for "bot", and if present, the request gets dumped to a pool for spider traffic: when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::header User-Agent] == "" } { if { [matchclass [IP::remote_addr] equals $::blacklisted_clients] } { pool spider_[HTTP::header Host] } } elseif { [matchclass [HTTP::header User-Agent] contains $::blacklisted_useragents] } { pool spider_[HTTP::header Host] } elseif { [string first -nocase "bot" [HTTP::header User-Agent]] >= 0 } { pool spider_[HTTP::header Host] } else { pool pool_[HTTP::header Host] } } string last needleString haystackString ?lastIndex? Similar to string first, only returns the index of the first character in the last such match within haystackString. If there is no match, then return -1. If lastIndex is specified, then only the characters in haystackString at or before the specified lastIndex will be considered by the search. In this example, (combined with string range, more on that in a forthcoming tip) the conditional returns true if the string beginning with the last "/" in the URI, and ending with the last character of the URI, contains a "." when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[matchclass [HTTP::uri] ends_with $::unmc_extends] or [matchclass [HTTP::method] equals $::unmc_methods] or [matchclass [HTTP::uri] contains $::unmc_sql] or [matchclass [IP::client_addr] equals $::unmc_restrict_ips]}{ discard } elseif { ([HTTP::uri] ends_with "/") or ([string range [string last / [HTTP::uri]] end] contains ".") or ([HTTP::uri] contains "unmcintranet")}{ pool unmc-intranet-proxy } elseif {[HTTP::uri] contains "google"}{ HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]&restrict=unmcintranet" } else { HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]/" } } Stay tuned, we'll cover more string commands next time.

Weekly Update 8-14 February 2006 A nurse on trial in Germany has admitted killing a number of patients in his care and has said that his actions were motivated by compassion but 'cannot be justified under any circumstances.'
Stephan Letter, 27, faces 16 murder counts which he has asked to be converted to manslaughter charges, 12 manslaughter counts, two cases of attempted manslaughter and one killing on demand.
He claims that he initially confessed to crimes he did not commit but that in other cases he "took the rest of [the patients'] lives away without being asked, and took away what human dignity they had left."
[BBC, 7 February ] Police are to question a Birmingham journalist who recently revealed that she had killed her aunt during the sixties using morphine.
Maureen Messent said that she has never regretted killing Eileen O'Sullivan when she was in the final stages of lung cancer.
[BBC, 8 February ] The Australian Senate today voted 45-28 in favour of legislation that transfers authority over the legalisation of abortion pill RU-486 from the Health Minister to the Therapeutic Goods Administration, with Parliament having the final veto.
The measure will now go to the House of Representatives, where Prime Minister John Howard has said that he will oppose it.
The Australian Catholic Students Association, the Muslim Students Association of Australia and the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students had issued a joint statement opposing the legislation.
[LifeNews.com, 9 February , CathNews.com , 9 February ] A criminal law reform bill that included proposals to lower penalties for euthanasia has been rejected by the Czech Republic's Senate.
The euthanasia clause, which was one of several reasons for the bill's failure, would have re-classified euthanasia as a crime distinct from murder and carrying a maximum sentence of six years' imprisonment.
Various religious leaders had issued a joint statement in December condemning these proposals. 'Jews have their own experience of euthanasia from the Nazi period... It began with the sick, and ended with six million victims of the Holocaust,' said Rabbi Karel Sidon.
[LifeNews.Com, 8 February ] Disgraced stem cell scientist, Hwang Woo-suk has appealed against a plan by the South Korean government to ban him from further research.
Hwang is still being investigated for his fake claims to have cloned human embryos.
He has asked for his research licence to be upheld until prosecutors have finished their investigations. [The Guardian, 13 February ]

Bag it 8 ! Shimmering Lilac Elegance
Another evening bag off my hooks. I love the look of this bag and it is big enough to carry all the girly essentials, I think. I hope to display it during the craft fair next month.
The thing I like about this bag is that it is very verstaile. It would go with most black outfits and it would looks great with Abaya as well. I'm still in the bag mode ...seems like it is an obsession. Does this happen to you ....like you try to sleep and all these wonderful bag ideas and designs keep you wide awake and excited? This is like an every night story for days now ....
But I'm making different things as well. I'll blog about it soon.

DUBLIN — Rapper and entrepreneur MC Hammer spoke out Saturday on Twitter, saying he was accosted without cause by a police officer in Dublin before being cited for obstructing the cop Thursday night.
Hammer, an Oakland native and Tracy resident whose birth name is Stanley Kirk Burrell, was arrested at the Hacienda Crossings shopping center on suspicion of obstructing an officer in the performance of their duties and resisting an officer, according to Dublin police Lt. Herb Walters. He was booked and released at Santa Rita Jail, Walters said, adding that police do not believe either alcohol or drugs were involved in the incident.
Burrell, 50, a multiplatinum recording artist who scored hits with songs like "U Can't Touch This" and "Too Legit to Quit," said on Twitter that an officer approached him in his car, tapped on his window, and asked if he was on parole or probation. A devout Christian who has spoken publicly about his faith on numerous occasions, Burrell has not had any public run-ins with the law.
As he attempted to give the "chubby elvis looking dude" his identification, Burrell said on Twitter, the officer reached inside the car and attempted to pull him out of the driver's seat through the window. Burrell said he "was laughing when he was grunting and pulling on me … I had just left the weight room."
"It was comical to me until he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help," Burrell tweeted. "But make no mistake he's dangerous. (The) only thing more dangerous than a scared man with a gun, is a scared man with an agenda, a gun and a badge.
"Instead of being bitter, I'm taking the opportunity to make this a 'teachable moment' and 'eye opener' for my many friends & colleagues."
Friday morning, Burrell appeared at San Quentin Prison as a mentor in the "Last Mile" program, which helps prison inmates prepare for new lives out of custody by encouraging them to develop smartphone and computer apps.
Burrell declined interview requests sent through Twitter on Saturday.
