What's with Dortmund?
What's with Dortmund?
Agen Online – Faithful so challenger last few years, and even had time to become champions, Borussia Dortmund are now even worse in the bottom of the Bundesliga. Spelled out are performing very poorly even as less fit for the Champions League instead Dortmund already qualified for the next phase. So what is it?
On the European stage this season tickets Dortmund have won the round of 16 after Matchday 4, thanks to a victory in four games. The defeat of Arsenal on Matchday 5 and even not to disturb the position Die Borussen are still perched at the top of Group D of the Champions League.
Then look at the Bundesliga tub board so an anomaly because there the team made by Juergen Klopp is even worse in the bottom of the table, position 18. Until the 13th week Dortmund could collect 11 points from three wins, two draws, and eight defeats .
The fact that during the last four seasons Dortmund Bundesliga title hunt ever – including a champion 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 – like gone somewhere. In the last four years was also Dortmund never to lose eight times throughout the season as it is today. With a collection point now, the runner–up the last two seasons it was already 22 points adrift of Bayern Munich, which is in the top standings last season also becoming rivals weighed.
Judging by statistics, as stated webpages official website Dortmund, Mats Hummels cs actually also not powerless in the Bundesliga. After all, they managed to make 85 chances to make goals this season, averaging 6.5 per game opportunities. In fact, only in three games alone Dortmund creating fewer opportunities than the opposing team; the time of Schalke lost 1-2 (4 versus 5), 0-1 defeat of HSV (4 versus 6), and when they lost 1-2 to Bayern (4 versus 10). The problem, the percentage of Dortmund convert the opportunities they get to be a goal that is very bad; 16.5% only.
In addition to poor final settlement, the case could also be made of luck seems Dortmund as one of the minor reasons. At least according to the statistics of exposure that this season had eight shots Dortmund players just on the pole and the bar instead of into the net. The number was called just lost a lot of Bayer Leverkusen.
"We always start the match very well, but then failed to maximize the opportunities in gold, while the opposing team can always make a goal from their first chance. It is difficult to explain. The situation then deteriorated and our challenge now is to prevent that to happen," said Klopp on the club's official website web page.

Words cannot describe Yosemite. Instead, this post will be filled with photos.
Things of note:
We stayed at North Pines Campground. Spots are wooded, no hookups, picnic tables and fire rings are provided. There are public restrooms, no showers, and bear proof food storage lockers.
We hiked up, and back down, to Glacier Point. We hiked to and from Vernal Falls. We watched the climbers on El Capitan with telescopes. We rented bicycles to see the park and hiked up to Mirror Lake. We scooted to the Tuolumne Grove of giant sequoias and walked around exploring. We watched two evening shows starring Lee Stetson as John Muir. We did the Valley Floor tour by bus. We had lunch at the Majestic Hotel (formerly known as the Ahwahnee) and had dinner in Half Dome Village (formerly Curry Village). We saw coyote and deer. The kids became junior rangers and we had many nights of fires and s'mores!
It is by far one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my entire life.
"Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God."

For years, the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce has been a willing recipient of taxpayer dollars, via city "waived permit fees."
At expense to other community uses for the funds, the city (from its General Fund) forgave thousands of dollars in un-reimbursed city services provided to profit-oriented chamber events, thereby "freeing up" chamber operating funds for "other" uses.
In 2009 alone, the chamber had more than $55,000 costs waived. As documented in tax returns, the chamber generally runs its operation at a loss, yet continues donating to its own Political Action Committee (PAC), which provides campaign support (political donations and advertising) for the same council members who approve such waivers.

Dong-A Socio Group is putting a new focus on its management, appointing Kang Jung-seok chairman of the group, succeeding his father. The junior Kang is the grandson of the late Dong-A Pharmaceutical founder Kang Jung-hee.
The senior Kang, 90, has virtually resigned from management to serve as honorary chairman. In 2006, the senior Kang promoted the junior Kang to president of Dong-A Otsuka and CEO and vice president of Dong-A Pharmaceutical, grooming the latter as the heir-apparent of the group. The junior Kang became president of Dong-A Socio Holdings in 2013.
In 2004, the group was embroiled in a management dispute between the senior Kang and his second son Kang Moon-suk before Kang Jung-seok solidified his position as the heir-apparent. Kang Moon-suk was relieved as Dong-A Pharmaceutical president and he left the group after disposing of his stock holdings in 2008.
Last October, new Chairman Kang raised his stock holding in Dong-A Socio to a 26.54 percent stake through a paid-in capital increase. Last November and December, he conducted a series of massive reshuffles, calling for the appointing Dong-A Otsuka President Min Jang-seong to Dong-A ST, a major subsidiary of the group. CEOs of the group's subsidiaries have been replaced with younger "young blood" ranging from their late 40s and early 50s in age.
Under the stewardship of new Chairman Kang, the group says it will make preparations for the next 100 years.
In a ceremony to kick off the 2017 business year at the group headquarters in Yongdu-dong, eastern Seoul, Honorary Chairman Kang urged his staff to make Dong-A Socio Group a world-class company. He called for group executives to make it a place in which employees can work with autonomy and passion, saying, "Persons who think in an autonomous manner, be creative on the job, motivate co-workers are to be leaders."
Echoing the view of Honorary Chairman Kang, new Chairman Kang declared his determination to make Dong-A Socio Group a world-class pharmaceutical company. "I'll devote myself to fostering Dong-A Socio into a world-class pharmaceutical company by establishing a holding company regime and having each business company have the stuff with expertise and efficiency," he said.
Explaining the background of Chairman Kang's promotion, the junior Kang has successfully spearheaded the group's scheme to shift management into "a holding company" regime since 2013, the group said.
ST Pharm the junior Kang headed has established the groundwork for growth by signing a 152 billion won deal to supply anti-viral raw material medicines with Gilead Sciences of Ireland.
Chairman Kang swapped ST Pharm shares with Dong-A Socio Holdings shares, allowing him to become the biggest shareholder of the holding company with a 26.5 percent stake. Founded in 1983, ST Pharm (formerly known as Samchully Pharmaceutical) has been offering excellent custom manufacturing services of APIs and their intermediates to meet clients' high expectations for their use in pharmaceutical development and be compliant to CGMP requirements.
Unlike conglomerates depending on each subsidiary's growth, new Dong-A Socio Group Chairman Kang has been credited with having successfully fostered an independent company with a competitive edge.
He graduated from Sungkyunkwan University Pharmaceutical Department. Entering Dong-A Pharmaceutical in 1989, he held such positions as the business management team of the management division, the head of the medical business division, Dong-A Otsuka CEO & president, Dong-A Pharmaceutical vice president, Dong-A Socio Holdings president, and Dong-A Socio Holdings.
Dong-A Socio Holdings Co. devises Dong-A Socio Group's vision and strategic objectives and plans the Group's human resources and finances according to its objectives. Also, it pushes to secure growth engines through the development of biomedicines and innovative drugs, and to expand businesses from pharmaceuticals to medical services and new businesses.
Dong-A Socio Group consists of diverse companies that engage in medicines, beverages, logistics, IT, and materials. To secure the business competitiveness and synergies of its affiliates, Dong-A Socio Holdings endeavors to design the entire organizational structure and to formulate the Group's growth vision.

X Factor star Jake Quickenden 'SPLITS' from fiancée Danielle Fogarty after three-years
FORMER X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden has reportedly broken up with his partner of three-years, Danielle Fogarty, just seven months after he proposed to the eldest daughter of motorcycle legend Carl Fogarty on his 29th birthday.
Former X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden has apparently split from fiancée Danielle Fogarty seven months after he got down on one knee.
It is claimed the couple called off their short-lived engagement during a romantic break in Rome on Tuesday.
Their separation was reportedly brought on because Danielle, 26, had an issue with Jake partying with single Dancing On Ice co-star Kem Cetinay, 21.
The daughter of motorcycle champion Carl Fogarty, 52, and former I'm A Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Jake, 29, apparently had a series of blazing rows over his partying ways.
A source said: "Jake and Danielle have been joined at the hip since her dad introduced them. But winning Dancing On Ice has meant Jake's had other priorities.
"He's been touring the country with Kem on the show's tour and getting a lot of female attention, which hasn't been easy for Danielle."
The insider went on to tell The Sun: "Things aren't going to get any easier on that front either, with Jake set to join The Dreamboys strip group.
"It's caused a lot of friction and they've both decided to take a breather.
"They are now in the UK and are spending time with their families. The wedding is very much off for now."
The pair first met in 2014, when they were introduced to each other by sporting legend Carl at the I'm A Celebrity afterparty.
X Factor star Jake Quickenden 'SPLITS' from fiancée Danielle Fogarty after three-years
In September, Jake revealed he had asked for Carl's permission to marry his eldest child, telling HELLO!: "I said, 'I know I eat all your food but I'll always be there for Dan and I'd love to marry her'."
He added: "I had a whole speech prepared, but as soon as I opened the ring box I was blubbing and I couldn't speak.
"I didn't even ask Danielle to marry me, but luckily she said 'Yes' when she saw the ring – and then she started crying too.
"From the moment we met, I knew I'd propose one day and I chose to do it on my birthday because I knew I could get away with being a bit sneak."
Jake shot to fame on the The X Factor in 2012, where he impressed judges with his rendition of Kings of Leon's Use Somebody in the first round.
Former X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden has reportedly broken up with Danielle Fogarty
Jake Quickenden won the latest series of Dancing on Ice with Vanessa Bauer
But he was sent packing during the judges house by Nicole Scherzinger, who chose This Morning's Rylan Clark-Neal over him.
He returned to the singing contest in 2014 before appearing in the 14th series of I'm A Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here! that same year.
This year he starred in ITV's figure skating competition Dancing on Ice, where he was partnered with Vanessa Bauer.
He won the series, beating Coronation Street actress Brooke Vincent and Scottish rugby player Max Evans.
Representatives for Jake Quickenden and Danielle Fogarty have declined to comment.

NO-ONE at Plaskynaston Lane was more overjoyed than Prestatyn player-manager Neil Gibson after his team booked their place in next season's Welsh Premier Super 12.
"The whole club can feel very proud of what has been achieved," said Gibson. "It's only what we deserve. Apart from after our first game when we lost to TNS, every week since we've been in the top 10."
Prestatyn grabbed the lead on 19 minutes when Steve Harris netted with a glancing header.
From this point there was only one team in it and in the 23rd minute Druids defender Sion Jones turned in a Dave Hayes header.
Andy Moran made it 3-0 on 32 minutes following a neat exchange of passes with Gibson. Four minutes into the second half Moran finished off Dan Evans' delivery for his 17th goal of the season. Hayes then headed home Steve Hoult's free-kick to make it five and match the Seasiders' record WPL victory.
Gibson added: "What's been pleasing over the past two games has been that we've felt confident our place in the Super 12 was secure and we've played with real freedom."
Druids boss Waynne Phillips felt the final scoreline was harsh, writes John Bridgwater.
"We were terrific for the first 20 minutes, so it was disappointing to lose by five in the end," he said.
"We have young kids who want to play football but after starting so well we gave away some soft goals and there was no way back after that."

Loaded Baked Gnocchi
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- black pepper, to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 3 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Preheat oven to 350º F. Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Cook gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and arrange in a single layer on the bottom of prepared baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic and cook until lightly golden, about 1 minute.
- Whisk in the flour until it is completely incorporated into the butter.
- Slowly add in the milk, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk constantly until mixture thickens about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in 1 cup of cheese and stir until completely melted and incorporated.
- Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Season with black pepper.
- Pour cheese sauce over the gnocchi.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and dish is bubbly.

The Rise of the Retro Dome - Theatre Bay Area
The last few years has seen a swath of news coverage on theatre closures in the Bay Area and around the nation. But amid all the rubble, there are glimmers of light—theatre companies opening in the direst of economies and surviving. One such theatre is the Retro Dome in San Jose, which opened its doors in September of 2009.
The Retro Dome is family owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Scott and Shannon Guggenheim along with Scott's brother Stephen. The theatre is housed inside the old Century 25 cinema dome on Saratoga Avenue in San Jose, which had been abandoned for over two years. Initially, the family sought to turn the venue solely into a stage for live, professional theatre, but upon undertaking renovations, they realized the dome was permanently split in half. So the space actually offers two smaller venues: the Blue Room, which houses live musical theatre and comedy, and the Red Room, which offers retro movies (think Alfred Hitchcock and Breakfast at Tiffany's) as well as interactive sing-along movie musicals.
The Guggenheim trio forms a musical theatre trifecta, with Scott acting as producer, director, business manager and playwright; Stephen wearing the hats of musical director, performer and movie buff; and Shannon assuming the roles of choreographer, performer and marketing director. No strangers to the world of producing theatre, Scott and Shannon met in 1990 while working together in a theatre for young audiences in Pleasanton that grew into the Children's Theatre Workshop and, eventually, the California Theatre Wing. When that dissolved in 1997, the duo took the cue to explore other options and secured the rights from Disney to produce Schoolhouse Rock Live!, which ran in Union Square for over a year before moving to San Jose for another year. From there, the team expanded into providing entertainment for shopping centers, corporate events and fashion shows using live theatre and paid actors. When their first daughter Lily was born, they looked for additional ways to support themselves and began doing a show they wrote themselves, The Meshuga Nutcracker, which toured Seattle, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Berkeley and San Jose.
In 2007 that came to a halt with the birth of their second daughter Ally, who was born with a severe brain injury. Because she required full-time care, frequent hospital visits and therapy, touring was no longer an option. In their quest to decide what to do next, Scott and Shannon began looking at venues where they could put down roots locally. A Pier 39 space was considered, but they knew that San Jose was a prime location for quality care for children with special needs. During lunch one day at the Fresh Choice in the Westgate Mall shopping center, the couple noticed a sign in the door of the then-vacant Century Theater. A lightbulb went off and the Guggenheims realized they could take all the energy they spent year-round building programs for clients and spend it on themselves to create an alternative business model. The lease was signed on July 4, 2009, and the doors opened two months later to the first revival show of Schoolhouse Rock Live! on September 4.
Despite naysayers' arguing that the timing was anything but economically ideal to start a new theatre company while others were closing, Shannon remembers asking, "'If we don't do this, what else are we going to do?' We didn't have a choice. If we wanted to stay in this area and do what we know how to do, we had to find a way to make it work. It was a sink or swim moment."
Being self-funded and not reliant on outside funding or grants, it was critical that renovations on the Retro Dome be both creative and economical. The confidence to do this came from the fact that the family had been touring for nearly 20 years. After many years of bidding projects to clients, they were familiar with money-saving mechanics such as the best printers to use and creative ways to build scenery. This frugality allowed them to go from a gutted dome theatre space with two-year-old popcorn and Jujubes on the floor, to a vibrant, groovily designed two-theatre space complete with cushioned couches and lava lamps in the lounge. The total budget for the project came in around $100k, funded through family and friends, and was kept from going over due to creative uses of what already existed. Platforms and curtains held over from their touring days were pulled out of storage. Costume designer Richard Sanchez spent tireless hours in the theatre remaking the old curtains into what hangs there today. The Guggenheims worked with out-of-business movie theatres to salvage seats. Much of the interior was left to the "retro" concept, right down to the lighting fixtures. Shannon's mom made light fixture covers to go over the concession bar. "It's kitschy, totally workable, and doesn't diminish quality," she says. "We didn't come in and tear down an old building. We recycled, reduced and reused. The only thing that is new here is the paint." (When you visit the Retro Dome, be sure to check out the paint color in the women's bathroom.)
Shannon says the Retro Dome has achieved the vision they set out to achieve and then some. "We wanted to find a place where we could create great theatre, support our family and do what we were born to do." But with the way things worked out with the movie theatre addition, the venue can run retro movies while simultaneously reaching out to movie fans who might never have gone to a live theatre performance otherwise. The Retro Dome also holds comedy nights, sing-alongs and summer camps, and plans to run movies with the chamber orchestra playing live music throughout.
Another success included securing the rights to produce the first production of Xanadu since it closed on Broadway in 2009 after duking it out with other Bay Area theatres. How did they pull it off? "We pitched a really good case—that we're not a community theatre, but are the real deal. We now have an Equity contract in place. What better place to do Xanadu than the Retro Dome?" Guggenheim says the company is also positioning itself to be different from typical regional theatres by not offering a season going forward, but working more like an off-Broadway company by running shows until they end.
According to Guggenheim, the general reaction of the community is one of delight that an abandoned theatre has been turned into a fun family venue and that there is another option for professional live theatre in Silicon Valley. This is evidenced by a dedicated fan base of over 5,000 email subscribers and a 1,700-fan Facebook page. She also attributes much of the company's early success to a balanced mix of artistic and business know-how. "Theatre is a business," she says. "Our corporate clients always came back because we delivered. You can't enter the theatre arts world without having the business end in your back pocket. This isn't Bohemia or Italy where they foster art and talent with apprenticeships. Here, it's business first."
And it's work, too. Guggenheim says most days are spent in the office, followed by night rehearsals from 6 to 10, going home and updating the website, preparing for the next rehearsal, and then starting it all over again the next day. And while it may not always be easy, the Guggenheims are happy that the business is staying afloat. Once they get past the point of barely paying the bills, they believe the endeavor could be a moneymaker and have even considered franchising the concept out to other communities. "We've been extremely fortunate in our careers, being able to stay in this area and do what we love. We're still very grassroots and community centered, and it's a privilege to give something back to the community so that they don't have to go downtown or up to San Francisco to see a really good show."
So what's up this month at the Dome? Sing-along movie experiences for Mamma Mia! and Mary Poppins, a likely open-run extension of Xanadu, and summer camps for children aged 7 to 13. For more details, check out theretrodome.com.

Earlier this evening, Vetements previewed an upcoming checkerboard slip-on shoe that is said to be part of their SS18 lineup. Almost immediately speculation surrounded the shoes as to whether or not this was an upcoming project with Vans as the shoes not only are eerily similar to the classic Vans Slip-On, but also sport the trademarked checkerboard pattern across the upper.
A post shared by VETEMENTS (@vetements_official) on
We reached out to one of our contacts at Vans where it was confirmed that there was not an official project between Vans and Vetements.
Being that this shoe is not officially a project between the two brands could mean troubles for the fashion label as Vans has repeatedly defended their trademark of the iconic checkerboard pattern in US and foreign courts.
Vans first used the checkerboard pattern on footwear in 1981 and make it an iconic print throughout the decade on a variety of models of their footwear. On February 20, 1990 the US Trademark office granted Vans with the trademark for the pattern on footwear.

Understrength Corkbeg Upset by Carrigtwohill 'B'
- Updated: March 18, 2018
Corkbeg exited the County Cup at the 3rd round stage with a 1-0 defeat after extra time by local rivals Carrigtwohill B in Ballyadam on Sunday afternoon. Carrigtwohill, despite being a division lower than Corkbeg, thoroughly deserved their win on the day, completely outplaying a Corkbeg side shorn of a number of regular starters. In fact, three players made their Corkbeg debuts on the day. The game was played with regular snow flurries throughout and a bitterly cold wind blowing across the pitch, which made good football pretty tough.
Carrigtwohill were quick into their stride and early on, David Williams delivered two brilliant balls into the Corkbeg area that only needed a touch, but both narrowly missed the far post. But Corkbeg responded and probably should have taken the lead within the opening 25 minutes. Twice, Shane Bennett found himself clear through on goal with Carrigtwohill goalkeeper Ben O Leary, but twice his lobbed efforts bounced wide of the gaping goal. And soon after, Bennett again made a great run into the area, only to see his low shot brilliantly turned away by O Leary, with Calum Fletcher failing to net the rebound. O Leary also saved bravely at the feet of Rob Fletcher, who put in a great shift all day, as he bore down on Jordan Tynans through ball.
But shortly after that, it was Corkbegs goal which lived a charmed life. David Barry, who once again was brilliant for Carrigtwohill over the ninety minutes, was upended in the box, but Tom O Briens penalty kick was saved. From the resulting corner, Shane Kennedys bullet header was taken off the line by Dylan Casey. Just before half time, another close escape for Corkbeg, as Kevin O Sullivans close range header was touched up onto the crossbar and away to safety.
Carrigtwohill completely dominated the second half. Despite having the wind advantage, they never resorted to hoofing or launching long balls and some of their approach play was very good. Everything seemed to go through David Barry. And they had plenty of chances too. Countless chances. Maciek Bezcek had a curling shot saved and soon after, saw another one pushed onto the post. David Williams also had a couple of long range efforts and a Dylan O Neill clearance inadvertently crashed against the inside of his own post, rolled across the goal-line and away to safety. Corkbegs make-shift back four of Ian Casey, Fred Wenham, Dylan O Neill & Dylan Casey were working miracles against the constant onslaught. Dave Barry struck the bar with an inswinging corner kick and substitute Richard Dowling shanked a ball wide from 10 yards with the goal at his mercy. Within the last five minutes, twice Carrig thought they had won it. First, a Carrig attacker bore down on goal, but his shot was saved and the ball fell nicely for John Wade, who missed the far post by inches. The game somehow remained scoreless after 90 minutes.
It was Carrigtwohill who did the early pressing in extra time and Kevin O Riordan saw his free kick pushed against the crossbar, as Corkbegs goal continued to be cursed for the home side. At the end of the first period, finally a bit of life in Corkbeg and Ben O Leary saved well as Jordan Tynan fired in a shot from a narrow angle. And Corkbeg almost got a winner in the second period, when Dylan O Neills brilliant approach work & Cein O Driscolls pass, set up Jordan Tynan to draw a great save for O Leary.
With three minutes remining in extra time, finally a goal. Corkbeg switched off from a quick Carrigtwohill throw, Maciek Bezcek got around the back and pulled a great ball back from the byline, for Richard Dowling to poke home the winner from 8 yards. It was no more than the home side deserved.
Corkbeg: P. O Reilly, D. Casey, D. O Neill, I. Casey, F. Wenham, S. Bennett, J. Ryan, J. Tynan, R. Fletcher, C. O Driscoll, C. Fletcher. Sub: K. Ryan for C. Fletcher(95mins)
Carrigtwohill 'B': B. O Leary, P. Wade, K. Deady, T. O Brien, S. Kennedy, D. Barry, M. Bezcek, J. Wade, K. O Riordan, K. O Sullivan, D. Williams. Subs: P. O Brien, R. Dowling, D. Murphy, I. Pospeich, G. Murphy, O. O Leary.

Hydrological Services of Wetlands and Global Climate Change
The presence of wetland habitats in the landscape can have a significant influence on the movement and storage of water at a range of scales. As seasonal or perennial wet areas, wetlands typically slow the passage of water from one place to another and this slowing can provide various benefits, for example, by temporarily storing flood waters or dissipating the energy of coastal storms. Worldwide, wetland hydrological services (including disturbance regulation, water regulation and water supply) are estimated to have an annual value of 2,757 × 109 US$. It is anticipated that global climate change will increase pressure on wetlands and their capacity to provide hydrological services may be affected. Prolonged drought may affect soil structure so that wetlands do not soak up water as readily, and increasingly intense storm events may simply overwhelm a wetlands ability to reduce flooding. Understanding the role of wetlands in the hydrological cycle enables us to work towards optimum delivery of hydrological services and how they should best be managed and valued.

ICM Registry, registry operator for the .XXX top-level domain (TLD), has announced that new .XXX domain registrations created from May 1 through May 31, 2013 will be available just $ 8.99 - a big reduction in price. Interested domainers (or those looking to protect their brand) can use their current registrar or one of the participating .XXX-friendly registrars.
The registry also indicated that it is also making moves to protect .XXX TLD holders with its recent applications to operate three additional adult entertainment-related TLDs — .SEX, .PORN and .ADULT. If ultimately awarded thsse new TLDs, ICM Registry will offer a "grandfathering" clause and will automatically reserve matching names (at no additional cost) to those who already have .XXX domains. So if you buy a .XXX domain now and ICM Registry is approved to run those other domain extensions, you won't have to pay a dime. If you do choose to use them however, there will be a fee of course, but it will likely be nominal.
"Our goal is to serve the adult industry by continually creating new initiatives and platforms that increase the inherent value of each .XXX website," said CEO of ICM Registry, Stuart Lawley.
Those that know me, know of my affinity for domain names. The one domain extension I have not purchased however, is that of the .XXX top level domain. Now, however, the draw may just be too much to bear.

The small size of these spherical structures (4-6 micrometers in diameter) and bright red staining using the Modified Safranin stain (which is similar to a modified acid fast stain) is characteristic for this species. Arthur Morris mentions that the differential would be the similar-appearing oocysts of Cyclospora, but that these can be excluded because they would be larger and also typically have a 'broken glass' internal appearance.
One reader commented that this could be C. parvum or C. hominis, the 2 most common species found in humans. However, there are a number of other species that may be less commonly found in humans, and it is not possible to tell the different species apart by morphology alone.
Thanks again to Florida Fan for this case!
Also, Blaine wanted to let us know that he hasn't forgotten about us, and created the following poem during his 'free time' between the numerous workshops that the CDC DPDx group is putting on:
No poems from Blaine, where did he go?

And our workshops are done
You'll be treated to some parasitological poetry fun.

\u000a Vietnam, 29 June 2017<\/strong> – \u000a With a record 10 million international visitor arrivals in 2016 and 20 million arrivals being targeted by 2020, Vietnam is set to generate US$ 30 billion of tourism revenue by the end of the decade. Chinese arrivals saw massive growth in 2016, up over 50% and as in Phuket Russian arrivals are also rebounding with 2017 April YTD arrivals increasing over 60% year-on-year. <\/strong><\/p>
The dramatic rise in arrivals has gone hand in hand with significant infrastructure investment as Vietnam spends a greater amount of its' GDP on infrastructure than any other Southeast Asian nation. The investment will lead to 2,000km of new highways, metro systems in Hanoi and HCMC, and a slew of airport expansions and new builds. This is complimented by investments from both state and private airlines to expand and improve their fleets. <\/p>
It is therefore unsurprising that investors and hotel operators alike are keen to commit to this high growth market. Adam Bury, Senior Vice President, Investment Sales, Asia Pacific, Hotels & Hospitality Group at JLL commented, "With the huge commitments made by both state and private stakeholders into infrastructure and transport linkages, hotel investors are keen to capitalise on the Vietnamese market. 2016 saw record levels of hotel transactions, with the dollar value of deals completed during the year representing 83 per cent of those deals completed in Thailand, a market which is often perceived to be significantly larger and more liquid." <\/p>
Going on to discuss in more depth, Bury added, "Vietnam is shedding its image as a destination which tourists only visit once, with the food scene, golf and casinos being just some of the reasons for repeat visitation. The investments made in infrastructure and transport has opened up the array of coastal destinations beyond the long-standing hot spots of Danang-Hoi An and Nha Trang-Cam Ranh for investors to target".<\/p>
With the recent rebranding of Hoi An's The Nam Hai, now under Four Seasons management, and a second Four Seasons in the early stages of development in Hanoi, it is clear that many large operators are also keen to take a slice of the ever expanding market.<\/p>
Frank Sorgiovanni, Head of Research, Asia Pacific at JLL Hotels and Hospitality Group, says: "We have seen an increasing amount of internationally branded hotels open in Vietnam over the past 24 months, and expect further diversification of hotel management companies and brands in the market. <\/p>
"As observed elsewhere in Southeast Asian, we expect growth beyond international hotel brands. Homegrown hotel brands are likely to come to the forefront, particularly catering to domestic travelers. We're seeing domestic hotel brands being established in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in the budget and mid-scale segments, and expect these chains to grow nationwide at a rapid pace".<\/p>
Vietnam should not be seen as just a tourism destination, as the country's rapid economic development, led by industrial manufacturing and production has driven corporate demand to the market. Further, increased connectivity combined with new hotel product offering has made the destination ever more important as a MICE destination.<\/p>
Adam Bury concluded: "Vietnam's hospitality industry has progressed rapidly over recent years. We have observed considerate corporate and business demand within hotels across Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi as multi-national manufacturers have entered Vietnam and relocated staff from other Asian markets on a temporary or semi-permanent basis."<\/p>
"Hotel performance, particularly in Hanoi, has improved off the back of the massive industrial investment that has surrounded the city. We're seeing similar trends in Ho Chi Minh City, which is also benefiting from its position as the financial hub of the country. The medium-term fundamentals continue to look good for investors." <\/p>

Mandala Airlines is an Indonesian budget airline that has been operating since 1969.
Because of problems with debt the airline has suspended all operations for a period of 45 days while they try to find new investors with which to keep the company solvent.
The airline has returned its fleet of 3 Airbus A320s and two Airbus A319s to the leasing companies whilst they search out new funding.
The airline has an interesting history, having been started by a couple of Indonesian army generals and was basically run by the army. Its name, Mandala, was not names after the eight-sided Sanskrit design which symbolised the Universe. Instead, Mandala Airlines was named after Operation Mandala, in which Indonesian forces invaded East Papua to claim that portion of the island of New Guinea for Indonesia.
Mandala planes have been involved in a number of incidents, with the worst occurring in 1992, when a Vickers Viscount flew into a hill on the island of Ambon with the loss of all 70 people on board. In 2005 a Boeing 737-200 crashed on takeoff from the Sumatran city of Medan with the loss of over 100 people.
2006 was also a bad year, with three Boeing 737-200s skidding off runways during bad weather. Fortunately, without the loss of life.
Given that Indonesian airlines have a poor safety record; it may be a good thing for Mandala to go under.
Apparently, many of the airline's pilots have already been assigned jobs with the Singapore carrier Tiger Airways on a temporary basis until the future course becomes clear.
Let's hope that Tiger retrains the pilots to lick any bad habits they may have picked up whilst flying for Mandala.

In a university like UW there are a whole lot of majors to choose from covering a multitude of areas. So, how does a student begin to choose the one that is right for them?
Ask yourself: What do I Like?
Your major is, hopefully, going to be what you are doing for the rest of your life so it's in the best interest of your sanity to do something that you enjoy. Before making a decision ask yourself, "What do I like?" or "What is something I enjoy?" Do you like working with people? Do you like being creative? Do you like building things? Do you like solving problems? Whatever you find as your answer, pursue it. There are majors that cater to all manners of interests, you just have to first understand yourself and who you are as a person.
Choosing a college major is a lot like picking what university you choose to attend. You as a prospect need to look into what opportunities are offered, what benefits choosing one option over the other gives you, and so on and so forth. Does the program you are eyeing offer engaging opportunities for the future? Does it provide specialized scholarship opportunities? Is it nationally recognized or somehow reputable? Is it interesting to you? Looking into all aspects of a major will secure your desire to study it and allow you the chance to feel more confident about your decision.
Keep an open mind.
College is the time for self-discovery and learning new things about yourself. Some of these things will take you completely by surprise, and that's okay. When I was a junior, I took a communication theory course as part of my USP requirements and it was the first time I had connected with and been deeply fascinated by course material. It spurred me to change my major and my course of life entirely and enter a field I had never considered before. When thinking about college majors, allow yourself to be less rigid and welcome new considerations or ideas that never crossed your mind. Don't limit yourself and think about what you should do, but think about what you can do.
Consider career options.
Contrary to what your parents say, all college majors have some kind of career option for when you graduate. Some are more easily found than others, but there are always money making options for whatever degree you leave college with. That being said, it doesn't hurt to take your future into consideration when choosing a major since it will determine the kind of financial security future you have. Paying attention to what jobs are available to you post-grad can help you narrow down what classes to take, what internships to look for, deciding if graduate school is necessary, determining if you need to move to certain states or countries, and being able to reassure your parents that you are preparing for your future among many other benefits.
Follow your gut.
You know you better than anyone else. If something feels right for you, run with it. If it doesn't, don't pursue it. The degree you graduate with should make you excited about the future possibilities. You should leave college with a feeling of success and excitement about what comes next, not fear or regret. Listen to what you are feeling and then take steps to alleviate any negative feelings or reinforce the positive ones.
Explore what UW has to offer and connect with an enrollment specialist to discover what major is right for you.

Video marketing could give a boost to your business. Creating eye-catching content isn't as simple as it may look. There are a lot of things you must think about when you're thinking of getting into video marketing. Keep reading to learn strategic tips to assist your video campaign.
Don't expect people to devote a lot of time to watching your videos. During a product demonstration, for example, you may want to use this much time to fully explore all the features of the product. If, on the other hand, you are just talking to the viewer about information, keep it under ten minutes.
When you are making a video, do not focus on what it looks like. High production values do not mean getting good returns back on your investment. Large companies have struck it big by just using demos made by individual employees from their companies.
Many people go online every day looking for directions on how to do things. When you create a tutorial video, people who are interested in that specific topic will find you, meaning you'll always be getting targeted visitors from the niche you meet. People will be more interested in what you are offering if they think of you as an expert.
You will keep people coming back to your site if your videos stay fresh and interesting. Boring content just makes people angry. Your viewers should be wanting more at the end of each video. The more unique, interesting, relevant, and current your various publications are, the more likely they are to attract a high number of viewers.
Analyzing your video content is essential if you want to make the most of your hard work. Find out the origin of the traffic, the time of viewing and the number of times the video is viewed. All of this can help tap into a niche of clients.
A video marketing campaign is an excellent way to promote your business on the Internet. Use the advice from the above article to help increase the chances of an effective video marketing campaign. Make a thorough plan and follow it completely for success.

This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Trinity which is a feast of a
doctrine rather than of an event of salvation. Historically, this started in the year 1030 on
the First Sunday after Pentecost. Pope John XXII approved it in 1334 as a Feast of the
Universal Church.
The name trinity means "three in one" - three in one because the Three Divine
Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not three Gods but one God. Maybe hard to understand but it is the mystery of God in Him. St. Augustine said, "Trinity is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived".
On the doctrinal level, the Catechism of the Catholic Church (nos. 253-255) summarizes
this doctrine into three: that the Trinity is One. We do not confess Three Gods but One God in Three Divine Persons, the Consubstantial Trinity. The Divine Persons do not share divinity among the Three but each of the Three divine Persons is God, whole and entire: the Father is that which the Son is, that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, that is, by nature One God.
Second, the Divine Persons are really distinct from one another. God is one but not solitary. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are not simply names designating modalities of the divine being, for they are really distinct from one another. He is not the Father who is the Son nor is the Son He who is the Father, nor is the Holy Spirit who is the Father or the Son. They are distinct from one another in their relations of origins: it is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten and the Holy Spirit who proceeds.
Third, the Three Divine Persons are relative to one another. It is because the Three does not divide the divine unity, the real distinction of the Persons from one another resides solely in relationships which relate the Three to one another. In the relational names of the Persons, the Father is related to the Son, the Son to the Father and the Holy Spirit
to both. While the Three are called Three Persons in view of their relations, we believe in one nature or substance…because of the unity, the Father is wholly in the Son and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Son is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Son.
This is the mystery of the Blessed Trinity!

Use and Abuse of Bioethics: Integrity and Professional Standing
Loewy, Erich H.
Loewy, Roberta Springer
Bibliographic Citation
Health Care Analysis: An International Journal of Health Care Philosophy and Policy 2005 March; 13(1): 73-86
This paper sets out to examine the integrity and professional standing of "Bioethics." It argues that professions have certain responsibilities that start with setting criteria for and credentialing those that have met the criteria and goes on to ultimately have social responsibilities to the community. As it now stands we claim that Bioethics--while it certainly has achieved some progress in the way medicine has developed--has failed to become a profession and has to a large extent failed in its social responsibility. We feel that Bioethics has to define itself, set criteria for membership in the profession, police itself and--above all--meet its social responsibility to become a profession meriting that name.

One night last summer, my Raynaud's was in full swing, and my white-fingered hands were freezing. I had slipped in and turned the air conditioner off when my Spouse-Heater wasn't looking, and the house temperature was up to a toasty 89 degrees. I then spent an hour in a hot shower and was buried inside my heated blanket trying to get circulation flowing. It had been a particularly stressful day at work, and I figured my autoimmune disease was flaring, which was causing the Raynaud's Phenomenon, and I was doing everything I could think of to warm up.
After discovering my dastardly plot to cook him and the children alive in the South Texas heat, my husband asked if I'd drank enough water during my busy, stressful day. I thought about it and realized I hadn't had anything to drink all day. I drank a liter of water, and within a few minutes felt tingling in my fingers as blood started to return.
At the prodding of my genius husband, I conducted a mini-experiment during a week when I was especially busy at work and might have neglected to drink adequate water. I brought 2 large water bottles and bought 2 more at the cafeteria. I made sure that I drank them before going home for the day: My fingers stayed pink, and I did not have that feeling of weariness in my joints that I usually feel at the end of a day.
During other weeks when I was busy, I assumed my worsening circulation and cold hands were due to stress or maybe fatigue. It turns out that when I drank adequate water, I felt less stressed and tired because I was not cold and in pain. It seems obvious now that my husband pointed it out, but increasing the volume of fluid in your body helps push blood to the tissue that needs it most (my cold hands).
Signs of dehydration include dry skin, chapped lips, flaky scalp, headache, sore joints, and constipation. (Did you know that water is what softens your stool?) There might be dark circles under your eyes due to dehydration, or your urine might be dark and odorous from not having enough fluid to dilute the toxins in your urine. It can also put you at risk for a urinary tract infection (UTI) or skipped heart beats from electrolyte imbalances. And if you have Raynaud's a sign of dehydration might be a lack of blood flow to your fingers. Who knew?
Water is easy to obtain and very affordable, yet many Americans live in a state of chronic dehydration. If you do not like the taste of water, then be creative! Try hot teas and fruit-infusers to add flavor to your water. Ice is easy to obtain, or you could make your own fruit-juice flavored ice cubes as well. I do not love the taste of our city's tap water, but I purchased a Sport Berkey Water Bottle that has an internal filter and makes the water taste much better.
So if you are frustrated with your circulation and always feeling cold, I encourage you to try this simple fix: Drink till you're pink (or at least until you are no longer thirsty).

Minjee Kim, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, is a dress historian and lecturer specializing in Korean dress. She
was born in Korea and received her BA (1991), MA (1993), and PhD (2000) from
Seoul National University. Her doctoral dissertation, A Study on the
Costume of Balhae Dynasty (698-926), has been recognized as the first significant
research of the period, which at the time was the least touched among the
history of Korean dress. Since 1991 she has continued to publish papers on newly
compiled primary sources pertaining to her topic. She worked as a faculty
member at Jeonju Kijeon College, a lecturer at Seoul National University, and
an exhibition consultant for the Balhae gallery at the National Folk Museum.
She also conducted costume replication projects for the War Memorial Museum,
the Seoul National University Museum, and the standard portrait of Dae Jo-yeong (the
first king of Balhae) certified by the Korean government.
After moving to the US in 2000, Kim noticed that hanbok, the Korea's traditional dress, was little
known in the international academic discipline and has dedicated herself to raising its visibility
both in academia and for the general public. Her early presentations introduced
the unique qualities of Korean dress and textiles in terms of design
elements, construction, clothing practices, and symbolism through historical
reviews. Through the comparative perspective of viewing hanbok in greater pan-Asian context in global dress culture, She has exerted to provide comprehensive accounts of Korean dress for global audiences.
For the recent years, she has expanded her interests to include changes in hanbok since
Westernization in modern and postmodern times, the haute couture
interpretation of Korean aesthetics by outsiders (Western designers), and the issue of cultural appropriation.
She contributed to the exhibition catalog of Couture Korea held in the Asian Art Museum, and published the exhibition
review in West 86th: A Journal of
Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture. She is teaching modern fashion history, "History of Fashion" for the graduate student at the Academy of Art University in the Fall, 2018.
Kim's presentation topics include the
following: "The History and Philosophy of
Korean Costume: Design, Structure, Rank and Fashion" (J.
Paul Getty Museum, 2013), "Structure, Colors, and Symbolism of Korean Bridal
Robes: Hwarot and Wonsam" (Asian
Art Museum, 2013), "Gorgeous Hanbok" (Asian
Art Museum, 2014), "Korean Traditional Clothing: Talk and
Demonstration" (Asian Art Museum, 2015), "Crossing Boundaries: For the Awareness of East

One woman's death changed the history of medicine forever. Her name was Henrietta Lacks, and she didn't even know what she was a part of because they didn't tell her. This book tells the amazing story of an African-American woman whose cancer cells were taken from her without her knowledge or permission. And it was not for many, many years that even her descendants were told the whole story.
I read this book for a book club and thoroughly enjoyed it. As one fellow reader said, "It's the kind of book that makes you feel smart." The description of scientific things is well written and makes it an easy read, especially as there are so many lively, interesting, and crazy characters involved. One can tell that the author put a lot of work into researching the story fully and telling it with as much honesty as possible, considering that much of the story was covered up for many years, sometimes just by bad judgment, and sometimes by outright lies.
The really amazing story within the books is about Lacks' descendants, specifically her daughter and the journey that she goes on to discover the truth about her mother's cells. Mixed in with all this are issues of race, religion, poverty, health care, and the questions of what happens to body and spirit when death occurs. No matter what your belief, the book makes clear that Henrietta Lacks truly did become immortal and has effected nearly every person living on the planet right now. We can't change the disturbing events of the past, but by reading this book we can, in a small way, do justice to Henrietta and honor her for the part she plays in many of our lives today.

August Snow Happy Heart Block
I thought that he looked like he was having a lot of fun, so I added the word 'Fun' to the background as well as the name of the month.
To add a little extra detail and, because it makes me think of waves on the shore, I added a piece of ric rac towards the bottom edge of the block. I also added a few extra running and cross stitches to give more balance to the block. I am happy with how the block looks now and overall, the quilt is looking very pretty. Here are the blocks to date.
If you are interested in more details about the quilt feel free have a look at my 'Snow Happy Heart Quilt' page. Click on the link under 'pages' in the right hand sidebar.

With everything going on around you in Las Vegas, have you ever really stopped to watch a whole performance of the Bellagio Fountains? If not, you must do yourself this favor and if so, you already know it's worth watching over and over again, so be sure to make time for it. I first fell in love with the fountains to Andrea Bocelli's "Time to Say Goodbye", it gave me chills that I will always remember and I have been hooked ever since. The creative genius and engineering behind this water, music and light spectacle have made it one of the top attractions in Vegas to be admired and enjoyed for free by all, day or night. The song choices change up occasionally, this time it was "Luck Be a Lady," and the sound system will blow you away regardless of which tune they play. The carefully choreographed streams of water dance elegantly and gracefully, swaying from side to side and also powerfully as they shoot up with full force into the sky, in an interpretive dance of sorts against the unforgettable backdrop of the Las Vegas Strip.
You can view it up close and personal right from the street in front, simply step outside the lobby of the Bellagio after shopping, dining, drinking, gambling or admiring the breathtaking Chihuly sculptures or perhaps you are lucky enough to have a room at the Paris that is facing the Bellagio, then you can peer out your window from the comfort of your own hotel room! Every 30 minutes in the afternoons and every 15 minutes at night, you have no excuse for missing a performance or two. From the moment it starts until the moment it ends you are mesmerized by the overwhelming beauty. Truly a stunning sensory experience! Pure magic and class! Only in Vegas! LOVE IT!

My husband and I met Katherine when she was a student interning at Puget Sound Birth Center. I have to say, I felt very comfortable and at ease with Katherine immediately. I told my husband that I really hoped Katherine would be present for the birth of our first baby, and I was truly relieved to see her when she was.
Katherine was so very supportive and seemed to know exactly what I needed during my labor. Things did not go exactly how we thought they would, and through the difficulties she helped me to stay focused and calm.
Katherine is so kind, and I felt as though she was genuinely interested in me and my family and our well-being. I could not imagine my birth experience without her being there.
I highly recommend taking the time to meet her and anyone would be fortunate to have her catch their baby.
