The merry-go-round in the castle courtyard can be found in each Disney Castle park, although every version has a different name: there's King Arthur Carrousel in Disneyland, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel (formerly Cinderella's Golden Carrousel) in Walt Disney World, Castle Carrousel in Tokyo Disneyland and Cinderella Carousel in Hong Kong Disneyland. Note that all except Hong Kong's are written with two r's in Carousel, the European spelling in line with the old-world charm of Fantasyland.
While the inner rows of horses are reproductions of the antiques found in Walt Disney World's carousel, the horses in front, all dressed in ornate armor, were carved for the park by renowned Ohio artisan Joe Leonard. The blue-and-gold Lead Horse actually sports the woodcarver's initials (JPL) in its elaborate decoration, next to those of the park.
The 86 horses' colors are arranged in the order of a color wheel, with the outer horses being most saturated and colors gradually turning softer and lighter on the inner rows. There are also two chariots, Neptune's Chariot and the Queen's Chariot, which are the only actual antiques on the platform, built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in the early 1900s.
One other antique was purchased for the attraction: the Big Nelly band organ, built by Artizan Factories, New York State, around 1928. Reportedly this organ played live in the early years of the park, although I have yet to find direct evidence for this. The one found in the attraction today, in any case, is a non-functioning prop playing a pre-recorded music loop of Disney songs in band organ arrangement.
Some more trivia: Lancelot's Carousel is the only attraction in the park whose ride duration can be made longer or shorter to adapt to attendance levels.

Beta-Alanine: Push High-Intensity Training Limits and Improve Athletic Performance
By: Christopher D. Jensen, PhD, MPH, RD
Nutrition & Epidemiology Researcher
"Figuring Out Fatigue
Fatigue during exercise has many causes, and it varies by sport or event. For endurance athletes such as marathon runners and triathletes, who primarily rely on aerobic metabolism, fatigue can occur an hour or two into a competition or workout, when muscle and liver glycogen stores run dry and blood glucose begins to drop.
High-acid environments and high performance don't make for a good mix. Not only does too much lactic acid produce that all-too-familiar burning sensation in your muscles, it also impairs muscle contraction. The end result is that you're not able to continue to generate the force needed to maintain your speed or lift that weight. And that's when you get passed just a few strides from the finish or can't muster the extra push to get to where you need to be.
Now, imagine that you had a metabolic weapon that could help neutralize the lactic acid buildup. It would enable you to train harder and longer and to reap the performance benefits that come from pushing the limits of your high-intensity training. Your very own muscles do have this weapon at their disposal. And believe it or not, new research says that the strength of that arsenal is something that you can control.
Fighting on Your Side
Your ability to sustain high-intensity exercise and hold fatigue at bay is in part determined by the amount of a natural biochemical, called carnosine, in your muscles.
Carnosine's presence in muscle tissue has been known for over 100 years, but scientists are just now beginning to appreciate its range of functions — and fighting off fatigue is high on the list. Exactly how carnosine helps you resist fatigue is not completely understood, but buffering or neutralizing lactic acid buildup in muscle is believed to be its primary mechanism.
Decreasing oxidative stress is another probable route to performance benefit. High-intensity exercise leads to oxidative stress and to the production of highly reactive biochemicals called free radicals that compromise muscle function. Carnosine acts as a natural antioxidant and neutralizes these exercise-induced free radicals.
By buffering lactic acid buildup and decreasing oxidative stress, carnosine helps to delay the impaired muscle contractions that inevitably occur during high-intensity exercise. With an adequate supply of carnosine in your muscle tissue, you're able to generate the force needed to maintain your top speed a little longer, lift that extra measure of weight, or dig deep for an all-out charge to the finish.
Fighting Fatigue
Carnosine is made up of two amino acid building blocks — histidine and beta-alanine. Histidine is a common amino acid found in many of the proteins that exist throughout your body; you have lots of it around. So when researchers gave their study subjects extra histidine, muscle carnosine levels were not affected. But providing extra beta-alanine proved to be another story altogether. Beta-alanine is a unique amino acid that is not really used to make proteins, so we have much less of it available in our bodies. When researchers gave beta-alanine supplements to their study subjects, muscle carnosine concentrations soared! In fact, levels rose by as much as 80% in a matter of weeks.
Boosting Performance
Boosting muscle carnosine concentration is one thing, but does more carnosine have an impact on exercise performance?
•In a study where men were asked to cycle at 110% of their average power output during the final stretch of intermittent interval training, time to exhaustion was increased by 12% after 4 weeks of supplementing with beta-alanine.
•In men and women engaged in endurance exercise, daily beta-alanine supplementation for a month produced a 13–16% increase in physical working capacity."
So how does High Intensity work for a typical AGer?
I am a 42 year old MOP age grouper. I tried High Endurance starting in June of this year. For the first month you take 2 pills twice a day, then after the first month take 2 pills once a day. Per the bottle results are typically seen in about 4 weeks. My first three races of the year Rev 3 Olympic at Knoxville in May and the Revolution (Olympic and HIM back to back days) at Rev3 Quazzy in June, were two good perfromances. I PRed at Knoxville by about 33 seconds and PRed the Revolution by about 12 min. But in each of these races my run was a struggle. I ran a 48:02 at Knoxville but I faded in the second half (split 1 20:12 2.74 miles (7:22) Split 2 27:50 3.46 miles (8:03)). At Rev 3 Quazzy I ran a similar run 48:27 again fading and losing severage spots in my AG (13th)(First 2 miles in 15:11 (7:36) Flat Next 4.21 miles in 33:26 (7:58)). For the half my run also dropped off considerably again losing alot of positions in my AG (78th). (2:01:17-First 5.6 miles 47:27 (8:28) included the Kswis hill Next 5.2 miles 52:16 (10:03) included hill out and Olympic bike hill Last 2.3 miles 21:34 (9:22) included final hill).
After using High Intensity starting in the beginning of June. My run performance did appear to improve as I was able to maintain my pace for noticably longer. At Rev3 Wisconsin-The Dells in August, I ran a new Olympic run PR of 46:27, but most encouraging I ran a negative split on a rolling hilly course (First 3.18 miles 24:05 (7:34) Second 3.03 miles 22:23 (7:23)) ran the 4th faster split in my AG and ran up from 8th to 6th in my AG for a personal best. My next race Rev3 Maine-Old Orchard Beach at the end of August, I PRed by over 3 Min for the Olympic ran the 4th fastest SPlit in my AG again at 47:24 and again slightly negative splited (Out 23:43 (7:39) and back 23:40 (7:38)) running my way up from 9th to 5th (and for a few minutes 4th).
But the best was still to come. In October, I did the Half Full Tri HIM. On an absolutely nasty day weather wise on a hilly course, Lance didn't lap me and not only did I PR my HIM but over 2 min, I PRed my HIM run by over 4 min with a 1:48:28 on a hilly course with the 4th fastest split in my AG noticing a trend here. Ran a very steady half marathon running fastest in the middle (First 3.1 miles 25:32 (8:14/mile) Second 6.7 miles 54:30 (8:08/mile) Last 3.3 miles 28:27 (8:37/mile)). FInishing 25th OA (best for any race and 7th in my AG best in a HIM). The following weekend at Rev3 South Carolina-Anderson. I ran a strong race and finished it off with another Oly run PR of 46:04 and fairly even splits (First 3.4 miles 25:14 (7:25 min/mile) Last 2.8 miles 20:50 (7:26 min/mile)). The third fastest split in my AG and finished 6th in my AG and 30th OA.
Is that a scientific test, No. But do I think High Intensity works. Absolutely! Did my legs still tighten up yes but, it occurred later in the run and it became very clear in my results when you compared the first and second halves of my season.

boat finance melbourne, boat finance rates, boat loan melbourne, easy boat loans, new boat loans
You may be on the verge of comparing the boat finance rates. The purpose in mind is to single out an affordable loan package, one that is convenient to bear. There are two basic objectives to fulfill. On the one hand, you look forward to being the proud owner of a boat. On the other hand, you want to repay your debts, at convenient terms of installments. Right from the amount of down payment, to the monthly installments to the idea of prepaying your boat loan, you need to make ample considerations, before you opt for boat finances.
What is affordability and why do you need boat finance?
Before buying the boats, you must know your own financial condition, compare the rates from different cooperative banks and private lenders, and then understand whether you are ready for the repayment of loan within the stipulated tenure. The online boat finance rates calculator can help you pinpoint the reasonable amount. But before using the online calculator, you have three of the following considerations to make:
- First, you need to approach a boat loan specialist. The latter can help you out if you are willing to pay a lesser amount as the down payment.
- The second option is to invest in a used secondhand boat. The loan provider may also advise you on the same because it takes lots of investment to purchase the brand new ones.
- Another option is to fix up a loan package that covers a long span of time. You will have more time in which to clear your dues, and as a result, the monthly rate of payment will be lower.
Size up the exact figures
Now that you are aware of the three basic considerations, the next thing to do is to calculate the exact facts and figures. Talk to the loan specialist. Decide whether you are going to purchase a secondhand boat. Then, decide on the limit of your monthly expense. Once you have come to the decision, you can use the online boat finance rates calculator.
- The amount that has been earmarked as the monthly budget should be entered in the segment specified as the loan amount.
- The loan calculator includes a wide bracket of interest rate, with rates varying from .125% to 2.375%. The next job is to select the rate of interest and the period of loan payment.
- It is up to you to decide whether you want to clear out the dues in twelve months' time, or you want to wait for ten to twelve years. The repayment term can vary, depending on the condition of the loan, whether it is for a new boat or for a pre-owned one.
Which are the factors that affect the down payment?
In the context of the boat finance rates, it is important that you know the factors that influence the down payment. The boat's price is not the only factor that influences the down payment limit. Age of the boat, and if you are buying a used secondhand boat also affects the down payment limit. Similarly, you should take note of your credit profile as that is also a factor to reckon with. When you meet a specialist loan provider, he will acquaint you with these ground realities.
It is good that you approach a specialist loan provider. You can expect the specialist lender hailing from the Association of National Marines to extend ten to twenty percent as down payment. Boat loan providers have access to more than one source of financing. They also extend warranty options and provide the users with the dealer as well as manufacturer-centric incentive programs.

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw the shimmering light
My head grew heavy
And my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself:
This could be Heaven or
This could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
Thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
There's plenty of rooms in the Hotel
Any time of year
(Any time of year)
You can find them here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She's got the Mercedes Benz
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the captain
"Please, bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here
since 1969".
And still those voices
Are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up
At the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
(What a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device".
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
And I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can checkout any time you like
But you can never leave!"

Being the only country with open, democratically-elected leaders, Andoran's relations with its more autocratic neighbors is generally poor. Foreign powers worry that their peasantry might see the People's Revolt as an example and start to question their own place in the social order.[1]
Cheliax Edit
Cheliax has yet to recognize the fledgling nation, still officially seeing it as a breakaway province. The border between the two countries is heavily fortified with keeps and garrisons, and it is rumored that the Chelaxians conduct raids in order to capture Andorans for "repatriation".[1]
Druma Edit
The Kalistocracy of Druma is only interested in Andoran as a source for trade. It considers its democratic aspirations a worthless distraction from the increase of wealth, and therefore has as little to do with the government in Almas as possible. Any military assistance offered by Druma would have to be paid for.[1]
Isger Edit
As the only remaining Chelaxian colony in this part of the world, Isger regards its neighbor with naked hostility. Luckily for Andoran, the country is kept occupied by its need to hold back goblinoid attacks from the Chitterwood, and has little energy to waste on causing trouble.[1]
Kyonin Edit
There is little to no communication with the insular elven court of Kyonin, despite the fact that the elves appreciate Andoran's respect for liberty and the rights of the individual. No formal treaties exist, but should the need for military support arise, it is not implausible that the two countries would come to each others assistance.[1]
Taldor Edit
Taldor's powers that be are generally too busy plotting against each other, or with the governments of Qadira and Cheliax to pay much attention to their neighbor to the west. Andoran forces are on constant guard to defend themselves against border skirmishes, but these are generally minor and ineffectual. The government in Almas has no formal alliances with its mother country, and all trade and travel between the two countries is allowed.[1]

PHASE 1 of ROBINSON-HURON TREATY ANNUITIES CASE WRAPS UP IN EARLY JUNE
Closing Arguments begin Monday, June 4 in Sudbury courtroom. All RHT beneficiaries encouraged to show support by dropping by.
Robert Porter, Sagamok Anishnawbek News 28 May 2018
The final arguments in the Robinson-Huron Treaty (RHT) Annuities Case that has been before the Ontario Superior Court since this past September are scheduled for the first two weeks of June.
These court hearings are open to the public and supporters are encouraged to attend.
The courthouse is located in the Radisson Hotel in downtown Sudbury. A sacred fire burns in near the Paroisse Sainte-Anne Des Pins where people can offer semaa.
The final hearing dates of phase 1 of the RHT Annuities Case cover the first two weeks of June.
- June 4 – 8, 2018 – Final arguments (Sudbury)
- June 11 – 15, 2018 – Final argument (Sudbury)
If a settlement is not reached, the RHT Annuities Case process will enter Phase Two to begin in the Fall of 2018.
The plaintiffs represent the 21 Anishnawbek signatories of the 1850 Robinson Huron Treaty and will make concluding statements concerning their positions a key component of the supreme law of the land that defines the relationship they currently maintain with Canada.
Sagamok is one of 21 Robinson Huron Treaty Signatories with a big stake in the outcome of this case
"The Sagamok leadership strongly encourage our community members to follow the Robinson Huron Annuities case as its outcome will directly impact them," says Chief Paul Eshkakogan.
Sagamok is one of the 21 signatories of the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850 identified along with Atikameksheng Anishinabek, Batchewana First Nation of Ojibways, Dokis First Nation, Ojibways of Garden River, Henvey Inlet First Nation, Magnetawan First Nation, Mississauga #8 First Nation, Nipissing First Nation, Serpent River First Nation, Shawanaga First Nation, Sheshegwaning First Nation, Thessalon First Nation, Wahnapitae First Nation, Wasauksing First Nation, Whitefish River First Nation, Aundeck-Omni Kaning First Nation, M'Chigeeng First Nation, Sheguiandah First Nation, Zhiibaahsing First Nation, Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve No. 26.
The treaty is signed by ancestors of Sagamok Anishnawbek, identified as,
"FIFTH--Namassin and Naoquagabo and their Bands, a tract of land commencing near Lacloche, at the Hudson Bay Company's boundary; thence westerly to the mouth of Spanish River; then four miles up the south bank of said river, and across to the place of beginning."
Phase one began on September 25, 2017 in a Thunder Bay Courtroom for weeks before moving on for a week at the Manitoulin Hotel & Conference Centre in Little Current, another week in Garden River and then to Sudbury's Radisson Hotel where plaintiffs will make their case until March 29, 2018.
The Robinson Huron plaintiffs are seeking a declaration from the Court that the Crown remains legally obligated under the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850 to increase the annuity that is paid to the Anishnawbek Treaty Partners from time to time if their territory produces an amount that would enable it to do so without incurring loss and that the size of the increase is not limited to an amount that is based on one British pound per person.
The plaintiffs are also asking the Court to determine the meaning or legal impact of the phrase "such further sum as her Majesty may be graciously pleased to order" that is found in the text of the Treaty document, whether the revenues taken into account are restricted only to Crown revenues from the territory, whether gross or net revenues are to be taken into account, what are the principles that govern how to determine annuities increases and whether the amounts paid to individuals each year ($4) should be indexed for inflation.
The outcome sought by the plaintiffs is to have the court determine that the Crown has not lived up to the spirit, intent and application of the Treaty in relation to its sections relating to annuity payments and promises to see these levels augmented from time to time to reflect the wealth generated from the lands belonging to the Robinson Huron Anishnawbek people.
They also want the court to determine a method of accounting for the wealth generated from their lands since the Treaty was signed so that a settlement can be reached regarding what is owed by the Crown since 1850 up until today, and so that future annuities will have a clear formula for accounting what is to be paid by the Crown to the Robinson Huron Anishnawbek upholding its Treaty relationship responsibilities.
Phase Two will begin on October 1, 2018 at a currently undetermined location to hear the defendants in this case, both Crowns - the federal and provincial governments will make their case until closing Arguments conclude on November 9 and the court breaks for two months to consider final written submissions.
There is no telling how long it will take to receive a decision from the court.

I can't say I ever expected to see FRIDAY THE 13TH or NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET merchandise like this. As part of their Pop Taters line that gives spud makeovers to famous characters, the folks over at PPWToys have created Mr. Potato Head versions of iconic slashers Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger.
These things look pretty cool to me, and they're about as adorable as Jason and Freddy have ever been. Personally, Jason is my favorite of the two characters, and although I never thought a Jason Voorhees Potato Head would exist, I really want one now that it does.
The toys are set to reach stores in October, with a retail price of $17.99.

mounting manually works fine..
gparted was in Fedora Extras before the merge. The bug component lists have not
been merged yet, so if you report something and it's not in the Fedora Core
list, look in Fedora Extras.
Hi Klaus,
Can you check that you don't have the file
'/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/gparted-disable-automount.fdi' on your system after
the upgrade; if you do, please remove it and you should be fine.
However in the absence of that file, it is a 'feature' of gparted to disable
auto-mounting while it is running (to prevent possible data corruption). So
having gparted installed, but not running should not prevent your sbd drive from
auto-mounting, can you please confirm that?
I removed gparted with
yum remove gparted
and reinstalled it with yum and everything were fine. i don't have the file but
i don't know if it was there before i removed gparted.
no i'm not able to reconstruct the bug...
(In reply to comment #3)
> no i'm not able to reconstruct the bug...
Good to know.

I watched Miss You Already with Drew Barrymore & Toni Collette this this evening. I knew when I pulled it out of Red Box that I would cry. All of the cancer movies make me cry. Best Friends & Cancer? Just give me the whole damn box of tissues please!
This is probably my favorite Drew Barrymore movie of all time(E.T. doesn't really count!) While there was silly spots of back story, this was NOT the silly goofy character she tends to play. I saw a new, mature side of her and I really hope she continues along this line. Serious works for her!!
Toni Collette as the dying best friend Milly was also extremely well portrayed too. Both the silly and the serious and everything in between.
I feel a connection to movies like these, even though I've never lost someone close to cancer. Perhaps it's simply the possibility of it. I vacillate between each of the characters, an empathy exists for each of them.
Perhaps its is simply the sense of loss that movies of this type bring out in me. A loss of things never gained. A loss of dreams deferred and then dreams lost.
Some times it doesn't really matter that the tears are falling, only that they are falling.

San Sebastián (the Spanish-language name of Saint Sebastian) may refer to:
|This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article.
San Sebastián [1] (Basque: Donostia; officially: Donostia-San Sebastián) is in the Basque Country in Spain.
San Sebastian boasts one of the best in-city beaches in Europe. It is quite unusual feeling that you can sunbathe and swim right next to major historical buildings and churches. Surfers are in abundance here.
The city is quite small and cozy, featuring many fish restaurants, several beaches, tons of pintxos bars and a choice of designer clothes shops.
Orientation: The city is divided into Old Town (Parte Vieja), Gros and Centro.
Trains arrive from many parts of Spain, Portugal and France, including overnight services from Paris and Lisbon. Take care when booking from France as there is also a town named Saint Sébastien in France. There are two train stations in San Sebastian: the RENFE [2] station for national trains (at the east end of Puente de Maria Cristina), and the Euskotren [3] station for the local network (Plaza Easo).
San Sebastian is well served by airports:
The Basque Country is generally easier to get around by bus than by train. Buses arrive and depart at the San Sebastian bus station, at Plaza de Pio XII in Amara Nuevo. A number of bus companies operate services to San Sebastian, including:
Buses are the only way to get to some areas of the Basque region, and often run more often (and cheaper!) than trains. Vitoria-Gasteiz, capital of the Basque Country, is a 2-hour ride away. Bilbao, the travel hub and biggest city in the region (1-hour ride), and Pamplona (1-hour ride) are other popular destinations, but longer-range buses do overnights to Madrid, Milan and even Barcelona.
In the downtown, parking is costly (roughly €20/day); most parking spots are underground, and finding a way to get there can be nerve-wracking. Left turns are more rare than rights (and are unpredictable). Having a driving map is essential.
There are some free parking lots in the west of the city: on the tourist maps by SanSebastianTurismo available in some guesthouses, the area is marked with a blue dotted line "Controlled parking zone".
You can see San Sebastián on foot and by taxi.
Bicycle lanes are all around the downtown.
Local Transportation site: [[14]]
San Sebastian is known as a stylish city and an image-conscious one, so it is stuffed with high-end shops. Peruse La Parte Vieja (the old part of town) for cool boutiques filled with quirky designer gear. There are fantastic shoe stores--I remember one in particular whose rainbow of amazing women's shoes in the window changed daily--and sources for that inimitable bold Spanish fashion.
Designer clothes for men are much more difficult to find than for women.
Most shops are freestanding, but there is an enclosed shopping mall that has the cineplex (as well as the city's lone McDonald's).
Some of the designer shops worthful visiting are:
The Basque cuisine is famous within Spain and many believe it is the Basque Country where you can find the best food. Much of this fame comes from San Sebastian and its bars and restaurants. Although tapas were invented in Andalucia they became perfected in San Sebastian and a walk through the old town before lunch time with its many bars shows why. Each bar is bursting with tapas and they look very delicate. Tapas are generally enjoyed together with a glass of wine or a small beer, and the Spanish tradition suggests to have one tapa and a wine in one bar and move on to the next bar. Tapas can be used as a good substitute for a meal - you pay for each one you eat (about €2-4 each) so you can have as many as you want. If you want 'real' food then that is where San Sebastian can be very very good. You can find several different cuisines such Chinese, German, Galician, Italian and of course the obvious Basque cuisine. In and around the harbour you can have the freshest seafood and if you don't enjoy the simple harbour taverns go and enjoy San Sebastian restaurants with Michelin stars if you have some money to spare.
Lo Mejor de la Gastronomia [18] holds annual conference and competition in November, including nominations for pintxos bars and for restaurants.
Healthy breakfast (even omelet) is hard to find in cafes: typically sandwiches or breakfast variety of pintxos are offered.
The way to eat pintxos, (tapas in the Basque Country whether speaking Spanish or Basque) in San Sebastian is quite different from other cities in Spain. There are two kinds of tapas: cold and hot ones.
Cold ones are displayed on the bar. Just ask the barman for your drink and pick the pintxos yourself. If you need a plate, just ask. Hot ones must be ordered from the barman and they take a short time to be cooked. There is always a hot tapas menu hanging from the wall.
When you are done eating your tapas and have finished your drink you ask the barman for the bill, and you have to tell him what you have eaten. It is very important to be honest, as it is a long tradition. Locals will be upset if they find people eating and not paying. Normally you don't eat many pintxos at one bar but move from bar to bar, drinking a beer (caña) or wine and eating one or two tapas. Then you move to another bar. Traditionally residents would have one or two pintxos in the early evening to stave off any hunger before a later sit-down meal, rather than making a meal out of a large number of pintxos.
Most pintxo bars are to be found in the old town, particularly on the streets running parallel to Boulevard. Generally a pintxo will cost €2-3. At some bars the pintxos are all priced the same, at others the price depends on the pintxo.
Pintxos (tapas) bars are thick in the Parte Vieja (Old Town), but there are masses of other places nearby in the Gros and Centro areas. Most bars charge by the toothpick or plate from €1-5.
The Jamon Iberico (usually seen hanging from the ceiling in whole leg portions) is ubiquitous, and equally good virtually everywhere.
Some slightly pricier pintxo bars that don't have pre-cooked pintxos and only cook them on order (correspondingly, their pintxo are of higher quality) are:
Coffee is espresso, not brewed, even in the on-the-beach cafes.
A purely Guipuzcoan experience, sidrerias dot the countryside and offer all you can drink sidra (a mildly alcoholic apple flavored cider) shooting straight from the barrel. Sidrerias usually offer a traditional set menu of cod omelette, cod with vegetables, steak, and then cheese. A couple of traditional sidrerias that are open all year (you'll need to get a car, bus or taxi from town) are:
WiFi zones can be seen in a cafe on the Ondarreta beach; in many bars in the Old City. It's unclear whether they are paid or free of charge.

SAN' 'SEBASTIAN (Basque Iruchulo), a seaport and the capital of the Spanish province of Guipuzcoa, on the Bay of Biscay, and on the Northern railway from Madrid to France. Pop. (1900) 37,812. In 1886 San Sebastian became the summer residence of the court. The influx of visitors, attracted by the presence of the royal family, by the prolonged local festivities, the bull-fights and the bathing, increases the number of the inhabitants in summer to about 50,000. The city occupies a narrow sandy peninsula, which terminates on the northern or seaward side in a lofty mass of sandstone, Monte Urgull; it is flanked on the east by the estuary of the river Urumea, on the west by the broad bay of La Concha. The old town, rebuilt after the fire of 1813, lies partly at the foot of Monte Urgull, partly on its lower slopes. Until 1863 it was enclosed by walls and ramparts, and a strong fort, the Castillo de la Mola, still crowns the heights of Urgull. There are also batteries and redoubts facing landward and seaward below this fort; but the other defences have been either razed or dismantled. The Alameda, one of many fine avenues, was laid out on the site of the chief landward wall, and separates the old town from the new - in which the houses are uniformly modern, and built in straight streets or regular series of squares. The bay of La. Concha has a broad sandy shore, the Playa de Banos, admirable for bathing and sheltered from sea-winds by the rocky islet of Santa Clara. Its centre is faced by the casino, a handsome building, and the summer palace and park of Miramar occupy the rising ground towards its western extremity. The other noteworthy buildings are the bull-ring, capable of seating 10,000 spectators, the theatre, fine provincial and municipal halls, barracks, a hospital, a Jesuit college, the American International School for girls, and many other schools. There are numerous breweries, saw and flour mills, and manufactures of preserves, soap, candles, glass and paper, especially in the busy suburb that has sprung up on the right bank of the Urumea. The fisheries are important. The harbour consists of three artificial basins, opening into La Concha Bay, and situated in the midst of the old town; it is chiefly frequented by coasting and fishing vessels, and cannot accommodate large ships. From its position near the frontier San Sebastian was long a first-class fortress, and has sustained many sieges. I he last and most memorable was in August 1813, when the allied British, Portuguese and Spanish armies under Lord Wellington captured the city from the French, and then sacked and burned it.

When you donate toward church buildings, you are investing in a place that will be filled with praise, prayer and discipleship, displaying the beauty and wonder of God.
Constructing a church building costs between R120,000 to R480,000, depending on size, location and available materials.
Daily, our brothers and sisters on the field face the reality of persecution for their faith in Christ. It's not uncommon for angry mobs of anti-Christians to beat up believers, burn down churches and torture pastors.
By contributing to persecution relief, you'll be a part of paying the medical expenses for believers, which can also include travel to bigger hospitals for treatment.
The funds will also be used to replace destroyed Gospel literature, rebuild houses and repair damaged church buildings, providing healing for all aspects of life touched by persecution-related attacks.

I really enjoyed
meeting the children and staff in such a wonderful environment – it's a lovely building for a school as it emits a sense of solid safety and security which I often find missing in newer open plan buildings. The work you are doing is so good and inspiring.
Well done and keep going!

Follow this link to read all about the 2012 USAWA Grip Championships on the USAWA website.
This is a 5-event grip contest. Venue is the worldclass Dino Gym in Holland, Kansas. Here are the events and my goals.
Bodyweight goal is to be in a lower weight class than what I've competed in for 9 years in USAWA comps. 220 pound class is what I've competed in – every single contest actually. Even competing in the 209 pound class would would be a new experience and would let me set new records. Even better would be competing in the 198 pound class. 22 pounds under my normal comp weight would be pretty nice.
Dumbbell Walk: 120
Deadlift – Fulton Dumbbell, One Arm: 190
Deadlift – Fingers, Index: 255
Deadlift – No Thumb, One Arm: 280
Vertical Bar Deadlift – 2 Bars, 2″: 402
I purposely set all these goals pretty high. About 5-10% higher than I originally set them at last week in my notebook.
All these goals would break the unlimited weight class records.
Time to go big or go home.
I will choose safe openers on all the events. Then a number that's approaching my best contest performance. Then the numbers above on the 3rd attempts.

So American Idol came (and I did about twice), and went last night. I have to say, I was very critical of this season, didn't watch much of it because of the "cast", however last night's show was very well done. I loved the fact that Paula came back (it was kind of like when you're watching wrestling and a wrestler makes a surprise appearance). Also, what's up with Brett Michaels? Are the news reports of him inaccurate or how the hell is he able to walk around, talk, look healthy etc. after having all of these supposedly major health problems. You'd think he wouldn't even have any hair considering his brain issue. Anyway, Lee DeWyze won and frankly I don't think it matters since both finalists were very good.
The best part of the night, however, was when Siobahn Magnus gave us not one, but TWO gratuitous upskirts. She was wearing black panties. Thank you Siobahn. Thank you. I hope to dig up pictures this week.

Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox has received an invitation to next week's PGA Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina after his fine form on the European Tour over the last month.
This will be Fox's second major of the year.
He will join fellow New Zealander Danny Lee at 2017's final major after Lee landed a spot at the event yesterday after a good finish at the Canadian Open.
"It's just based on world ranking really. They've got their categories that they fill the event with and any leftover spots they give invites out based on world ranking," Fox told 1 NEWS.
"Luckily enough I picked the right three weeks to play well on the European Tour and got that ranking up a little bit."
The 30-year-old made it into the men's top 100 for the first time after consecutive fourth-place finishes on the European Tour last month.
"I got the invite last Monday, which was a very nice call from the management company," he said.
"I'm looking forward to getting over there on Sunday."

This morning I baked some cupcakes for afternoon tea for the kids and also a simple chocolate cake with fresh cream for our dessert tonight.
We haven't planned anything extra special. An exchange of cards and chocolates is about as fancy as it will get this year. Maybe a 'childfree' date night in the near future might be on the cards.
Hopefully we will be celebrating a little more next year as we've been together 20 years.
It's lovely to have a day dedicated to showing someone how much you love them, but I think showing how much you love someone each and everyday is more meaningful. Not to say that giving and receiving cards, flowers, chocolates and small gifts isn't nice too!
How do you celebrate Valentine's Day?

Computer systems are resource constrained. Application adaptation is a useful way to optimize system resource usage while satisfying an application's performance requirements. Current multicore computer systems supporting these applications, however, are not designed to reliably meet these requirements. Meanwhile, these computer systems are resource-limited, e.g., have power-induced energy and thermal constraints. Compounding the application's performance requirements are increasingly-stringent microprocessor thermal constraints. Previous application adaptation efforts, however, were ad-hoc, time-consuming, and highly application-specific, with limited portability between computer systems.
This thesis presents OCCAM, a software platform for developing multicore adaptable applications. OCCAM's design-time platform consists of design patterns, APIs, and data structures that allow application developers to specify the performance constraints and application-specific optimization techniques. OCCAM generates a run-time controller offline, using profiling data. It then uses this profiling data to generate an internal model that it subsequently employs to generate a robust Markov Decision Process-based Model Predictive Controller. Using a set of Recognition, Mining, and Synthesis benchmarks, the experimental study demonstrates that OCCAM can successfully optimize the system while meeting the systems performance requirements across a wide range of computer platforms, ranging from an energy-constrained single-core system to a high-performance 16-core system. Finally, OCCAM presents a simulation-based, stochastic model checking-based framework for quantifying the robustness of the controller.

Deep breather
AN AUSTRALIAN turtle has learned to breathe through its bottom. The
freshwater Fitzroy River turtle (Rheodytes leukops) breathes normally
above water, but can remain underwater for long periods by breathing through its
combined genital and excretory opening, or cloaca, Craig Franklin of the
University of Queensland, Brisbane, told the recent Society for Experimental
Biology symposium at the University of Cambridge.
As the turtle pumps water through its cloaca, oxygen is extracted by a
surrounding network of blood vessels. This allows it to remain submerged for up
to three days to avoid predatory crocodiles, Franklin says. "These turtles can
dive for …

are the premier general-purpose troops for killing enemy foot.
Nothing else is nearly as effective, or as immune to attack from enemy
infantry. Sure, they can't easily kill enemy psiloi, but they laugh at
the psiloi's feeble attempts to kill them, and can sweep them from the
field or ignore them. Blades can fight in rough terrain against the best
rough-terrain troops with confidence, and are the only troops that can
hope to hold against a frontal assault of massed pike in the open long
enough to get around their flanks and hit them in the sides. And while
blades have to be careful fighting warbands, with care they can expect to
come out with even chances in that matchup, and warbands haven't got the
multi-purpose usefulness of blades.
So blades rule over other foot. But mounted are another story. All
mounted are dangerous to blades. Blades can't catch lighter mounted unless
the mounted let it happen; and Knights or Scythed Chariots are quite deadly
to blades.
Speed can be a significant weapon in DBA. Speed can
allow you to disengage from dangerous situations, and let you exploit
opportunities quickly. The idea of a force of blades zooming around a
flank and
catching an enemy line off-guard is laughable. But as any commander of
heavy foot knows, a force of blades is very vulnerable to exactly that
sort of attack from a mounted force.
Not only are blades much slower than mounted, but they have no
combat-factor advantage.
Cavalry in combat with blades fight even-up (+3 each), and
their greater speed means that they choose when and where the combat
will occur, and are more likely to turn a flank.
Knights can crush a group of blades with one good roll. Elephants have
the advantage in combat factor (+4) although they are unwieldy; even
light horse can devil a
group of blades -- the blades will never kill them, and can only drive them
away briefly, and are constantly in danger of a rapid flanking attack.
Blades can't win that fight, and can't even delay a force of light horse
from sweeping around towards the baggage unless they are propped on rough
Bow have the opposite problem. They are also slow, but
their ranged combat gives them a significant reach. They have excellent
combat factors against mounted. They are almost the only foot troops that
can actually kill enemy light horse. Used with care their ranged combat
ability makes them
difficult to outmaneuver or outflank. It
would be fair to say that bow are one of the most useful types of infantry
against mounted foemen.
But against foot it is another story. Bow can drive off psiloi, true.
Using the advantage of their ranged attack, bow can fight
without too much of a disadvantage against auxilia, pike, or warband, but
the advantage is definitely not on the bow's side. And spear or blades are
a disaster. These represent well-armoured heavy foot, often with large
shields; very effective against missile fire. And their performance in
DBA reflects this -- spear or blades will crush bow if they ever get into
If you have an army with a bunch of both blades and bows, then, you have
an interesting tactical problem. How to integrate the two effectively? The
simplest answer is to separate them out -- have one blade wing and one bow
wing. If your opponent is foolish or unlucky enough to pit his knights and
light horse against your bows, and his bows and auxilia against your blades,
you will gain a crushing victory.
However, most DBA players are not so obliging, and the simple formation
above invites disaster. If your opponent manages to face your bows with
his blades or auxilia the game will be over long before your blades get into
action. So splitting the bows and blades apart is an answer of sorts, but
it is very easy for your opponent to counter.
Below are some thoughts on appropriate formations and issues for bow/blade
Mixed formations. Splitting the bow and blades entirely apart is
rarely effective. The opposite technique, mixing them together, also has its
problems. A simple alternation (bow/blade/bow/blade etc.) is a poor solution.
Against cavalry it will work well enough, but against infantry much less so.
The bows are too far apart to combine fire effectively on oncoming troops,
thus reducing their ranged-fire effectiveness. The bow are still terribly
vulnerable to enemy foot, and will quickly be recoiled off the combat line.
Since they cannot fire on any unit in combat or providing an overlap on
combat, they will be entirely useless, and you will be left with the
unpleasant choice of leaving your blades out with double overlaps, or
throwing your bow into melee. Either way, you lose.
Herse/Harrow formations. The Hundred-Year's War English
solved the problem by using a formation where a mass of men-at-arms (blades)
stood in the center, flanked by two groups of longbow set slightly at
an angle, in a cup of sorts. The bow protected the flanks of the blades,
and ideally the flank of the bow was protected by terrain. This is a
risky formation in DBA. For one thing, it is very static. It relies upon
your opponent agreeing to fight you in your prepared defensive position.
Sadly, our enemies are rarely as stupid as the
Hundred-Year's War French, who often ended up charging right up the center
rather than doing anything intelligent like moving around and crushing
an exposed flank.
Nonetheless, there are some useful possibilities in the general idea
of having bows flanking a center of blades. Even in a mobile battlefield,
single units of bow are very useful as
flank-protectors on a line of blades or other heavy foot. Their
ranged-fire allows them to interdict quite a bit
of terrain against mounted (the most common flanking troops), especially if
used in combination with bad going. Anchoring both flanks with a bow in bad
going can be very effective.
Against light
foot (auxilia and psiloi) they can hold their own well enough.
Modifications of the harrow formation can also be useful in the right
situation. You can stock small patches of impassable or awkward terrain with
troops. When facing Knights put the blades in the bad going; in other
situations put a line of bows in the bad going and keep the blades in the
open. This sort of formation is quite static, however, and often the enemy
will refuse to engage you when you have such a nice formation.
Terrain interdiction. Bow work great in rough going. A
line of two or three elements of bow in bad going is a tough nut to
crack. Against mounted you should set up as far forward as possible,
with just your toes in bad going. Against heavy foot it is much better
to stay farther back, forcing the enemy to enter the bad going to fight
you. This allows bow to fight pretty-much even up against any enemy
infantry, even heavy foot that would normally spell their doom.
Warband, pike or spear can be slaughtered if they are tempted to
venture into bad
going against bow; even blades are no great shakes
at fighting in the marsh against a storm of arrows.
No recoils Single elements of bow are interesting units, but
the ranged-fire ability of bows can mislead you. Forcing a recoil is often
useful in close combat -- it gets you combat advantage on the next unit over,
and if your enemy doesn't dress his line you can get a significant advantage
on your next move. But ranged-fire recoils are much less use, in general.
Recoils in ranged combat disorder the enemy's line, but not usually by
much. Unlike recoils in melee, where adjacent combat may be affected, a
missile-combat recoil gives no advantage on further combat that turn
(unless you have
been clever enough to force the enemy into positions where no recoil is
possible, of course). Worse still, recoils may push the enemy out of your
firing range,
so on his subsequent turn he is safe. This can be quite frustrating.
So you don't want to push things back, you want to kill them. It is
almost always better to group your fire with bows. This means that your
bow elements should be positioned to allow this. Bows
start being nasty when you group them together in twos and threes.
This is a neat maneuver that can only really be used effectively in
armies with a lot of bows and blades. It allows the use of a flexible
formation that combines many of the advantages of bows (ranged fire;
ability against cavalry) with those of blades (durability; combat ability
against infantry).
Bows are permitted to recoil through blades facing the same direction
(DBA 1.1 rulebook, p8).
Bows aren't permitted to recoil through any other element type.
This allows a very interesting formation for bow/blade armies, where
the initial line is all bows, backed by a line of blades.
This formation is very useful against any type of mixed or
combined-arms armies. Don't use it against a wall of blades (Vikings),
where you just don't want your bows to come in contact with the enemy
blades at all.
With the bows in front, they can shoot at any incoming mounted and
disorder formations of mixed foot through concentrated shooting. If they
are faced with mounted, the bow are where you want them, where they can
shoot, and they will do well.
Against infantry (anything but blades) they will have the advantage of
distant shooting for as long
as possible, disordering the enemy line and perhaps even killing an element
or two. Then, when the enemy auxilia, pike, spear, or warband hit they
have small chance of inflicting any worse result than a recoil. They won't
have any back-rank support (p8 : no back-rank support on the first round of
close combat with bow or arty), and only one round of combat to do any
damage. Because if they get a recoil on the bow, presto-chango, the
bow recoils through the blades, and they find themselves facing the toughest
anti-infantry troops available!
This is especially deadly against warbands, as their impetuous nature
forces them to throw themselves forward into the bow's abandoned position,
ending up opposing blades with a double overlap. Ouch.
Once recoiled through the blade line, the bows should attempt to fill any
holes in the formation. They can't do any more good in their current
position, and they aren't likely to get back into battle in the center.
I've focussed below on armies that have at least three blades and at
least three bows. With only one or two blade or bow elements, discussion of
formations and tactics for using them in concert is facile.

Pirates face a tough task.
ORLANDO Pirates have a terrible record in the league against Free State Stars in Ea Lla Koto's backyard, and they face a tough task if they are going to turn it around at Goble Park tomorrow.
Pirates haven't beaten Stars away from home in the league for six years now.
Their last joy in the Free State was back in January of 2011.
Pirates triumphed that day courtesy of strikes from Tlou Segolela and Andile Jali.
Since then they have found the going tough in the Free State in league matches. Last season Pirates succumbed 3-2 to Stars.
Moeketsi Sekola, Paulus Masehe and Mohamed Anas were on the score-sheet for Stars while an own goal by Thela Ngobeni and a Tendai Ndoro penalty gave Pirates hope, but in the end Stars emerged victorious after a tough tussle.
Ayanda Nkosi (pictured), who is now at Pirates, netted the winner for Stars in a 1-0 success in 2015/16 when the two sides met that season.
Pirates are at least enjoying some decent form as they head to face their bogey side, they are unbeaten in their last four matches.
They have won once against Bloemfontein Celtic and played out to three stalemates against Lamontville Golden Arrows, AmaZulu and SuperSport United.
They will be hoping to turn their draws in to wins against Stars.
The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in 2014/15. It was the same story in 2013/14 and 2012/13. Noah Chivuta's strike was enough to earn Stars the maximum points against Bucs in 2011/12.
Stars will not be at full strength when they face Pirates. Patrick Phehlukwayo is suspended after receiving his marching orders on Wednesday.
But Ea LIa Koto will be full of confidence after beating SuperSport in that match.
Pirates are second on the log with 20 points after 14 league matches, five points behind the pace-setting Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Buccaneers are the kings of draws this season, as a result they have dropped 16 points.
One of their main problems that has contributed to this has been goal scoring, something they are keen to remedy in this match.
They have netted only 10 times in 14 matches.

Road Trip – Part 2
When I was a child I was fortunate to have grandparents in the Okanagan so we always had a road trip on the horizon. I didn't always like road trips – I would get car sick quite regularly, particularly after soft serve cones. I didn't always like sharing the backseat with my brother and sister – thank goodness my dad traded in the El Camino for a Van! But once I reached that magical moment where adulthood, my first car and a regular pay cheque coincided, road trips became fresh and fun again.
I remember the first time I drove solo to the Okanagan, before cell phones, afraid I'd get lost even though I'd been a passenger 100's of times on that same highway. I was stocked with snacks, an emergency car kit, including blanket and candle. I had been instructed on how to change a flat tire and mixed cassette tapes were within easy reach. Control. I was in total control of all the variables on my trip.
I went up often, not just to visit my beloved Granny, but for cherries, peaches, apricots, plums, field tomatoes, and apples. The produce was so fresh and often cheaper than buying it on the coast. I pickled, canned, and froze these treasures. I'd like to think that I had an understanding of where my food came from before it was the latest green movement.
Things sure have changed. My Granny now lives in our hearts and our memories and not amidst the cherry trees under the warm Okanagan sun. That same car that brought me freedom is now almost 20 years old and I don't think the old girl is up to the steeper climbs and faster pace of the new highway. I am now at the mercy of whichever driver I can convince to go on a road trip – usually my much obliging sister. The passenger seat does not have the same thrill, and the road trip snacks all have a hint of 'lowfat/low carb/low cal/lowsodium'. It's harder to find black licorice at convenience stores and gas stations along the way. Instead of five or six trips to the Okanagan I'm reduced to one or two trips to the Shuswap.
I'm adjusting. I've found new favourite parts of the trip – stunning rock formations, perfectly graded corners, the grove most likely to reveal deer. I always find a way to make a trip in the early Autumn and I always stock up on Salmon Arm apples from Hannah and Hannah Orchards. I don't get as big a variety of produce that my frequent Okanagan trips yielded but, I've learned that there is a whole world of apples I've not been privy too. I've detected the subtle difference between the brilliant green Granny Smiths and Shamrocks. My palate has moved from the Macintosh, Spartans and Galas to the less common Empire, Sinta, and Elstar. I'm trying to let go of my control/trust issues and I'm learning to have a nap, knowing that the driver will be fine without me. I'm not always successful.
Today I watched a theatre piece inspired by the great road – Route 66. The romance of that highway has reawakened a longing in me for those rare glimpses of full moon on a snow covered beech grove, blue and magical. Or the sun setting on a golden prairie that suddenly is purple for an instant before it drops under the horizon. A treasure in the best piece of pie you've ever tasted only found at the seasonal road side stand. I'm hungry to be the driver again, able to leave at a moment's whim. I yearn to drive the old coastal highway in Oregon, and I'm impatient for the many great road trips I have yet to take.
My car sits out front. She's a bit worn around the edges. As I walked by her on my way home tonight I thought I heard her whisper, 'New brakes. New shocks. New tires. Let's do it!'
Author's note – Here's a link to Hannah and Hannah's. If you are ever in Salmon Arm I highly recommend it as a must see! My photos of H&H did not turn out (still figuring out the settings on my camera) so these are from Davidson Orchards in Vernon – it was great too!

I felt like I was right there with you! Thank you for reminding me of all my wonderful memories of numerous road trips to the Okanagan.
I'm going to go right out and buy some apples! XOXO
October 22, 2009 10:02 am
Oooo I love apples and I'll have to try Cortlands..they sound amazing..thanks so much…Your blog is so unique and I love your travel stories and memories of being a child…
I enjoy reading your exciting and interesting posts..thanks
October 24, 2009 12:32 pm
Fabulous, evocative writing. And a great theme for the site. I will be a faithful follower. The reframing is essential and that idea sings to me in everything you write. It readjusts my own 'set'. I have onlyread the intro and the road trip 1 and 2. I will read the others for snacks later. So lets talks apples. I love apples. I tried a new kind this year I think they were called Kira Seigewicks…but I might be making that up. Maybe that was a lady I met the same day I ate a new apple. Anyway, lucky us. Thanksgiving, family, Road trips, BC apples….I'm hungry now.


text: I am so grateful someone invented the camera. I am not sure what I would do if I wasn't able to capture all of these great memories. And it would be such a tragedy if I wasn't be able to embarrass these two little boys in 15 years in front of their girlfriends with pictures of them in their underwear.

Tuesday's hour and a half session commemorated Rehavam Ze'evi Day. Virtually the entire session was spent eulogizing Ze'evi, who was assassinated nine years ago. MK Eldad (NU) had the headline of the day with his declaration that Jordan is the Palestinian state. The first bill of the winter session was discussed and passed its third reading.
One Minute Speeches
Most of the 23 MKs spoke about assassinated Minister, MK and leader of the Moledet party, Rehavam Ze'evi.
Special session in memory of assassinated Tourism Minister Ze'evi
Speaker of the House Rivlin (Likud), Prime-Minister Netanyahu (Likud), Opposition Leader Livni (Kadima) and MK Eldad (N.U.) all gave warm speeches eulogizing Ze'evi. They all shared heartfelt fond personal memories and condemned the assassination by Palestinian terrorists in an eastern Jerusalem hotel nine years ago. The plenum was filled with special guests, former ministers, MKs, public figures, soldiers and family members. The most amazing part of the three speeches was that only small parts of the emotional speeches were read from the speakers' notes. Livni stressed several times that she disagreed with Ze'evi politically. MK Eldad stole the headline of the day when he said there was no need for a Palestinian state, since there already was one and it is called – Jordan.
Shazar Center for the history of the Jewish people Bill
Education, Culture and Sports Committee Chairman Orlev (Jewish Home) explained that the bill would create an investigation and study center in the name of the third president of Israel, Zalman Shazar. He explained that this bill would create many government jobs. Deputy Speaker Walhaba (Kadima) congratulated MK Orlev on passing another bill that would give his connected people jobs. Chairman Orlev went on to thank the dozens of people who helped make the bill possible and assist in getting it passed quickly.
Coalition Chairman Elkin (Likud) thanked former MK Menachem Ben-Sasson for coming up with the idea for the bill and to MK Orlev for navigating the bill in a way which helped it get passed.
The bill passed its second reading 12-0 and its third reading 12-0.
