A subdued weekend was punctuated by a moment of silence and reflection observed at the spot where just two days earlier Finland experienced its first terrorist attack.
At least a couple of hundred people sought out each other's quiet company Sunday morning, fighting the wind to light candles, or placing flowers or notes in Turku's main city square and other makeshift memorials dotting the downtown.
They came to show solidarity, to mourn, and to ask questions that may never be answered. "I think people are very sad, and people want to know why this happened," said Tanja Kukkula, 37, of Turku.
The attack occurred late Friday afternoon — the day after a Barcelona attack killed 13 by ramming a vehicle through a crowded thoroughfare. In Turku, a man wielding a knife targeted women starting around 16:00 and ended about five minutes later with two women dead and eight other people injured. Police shot and then arrested the man that law enforcement have described as an 18-year-old from Morocco who came to Finland last year seeking asylum. Since then, law enforcement has made additional arrests and continue to search for one additional individual.
The incident began in Turku's main market square, or Kauppatori, where one woman was fatally knifed. The attacker moved north, injuring others is his path until police stopped him, but not before another woman was killed.
The man was arrested in Turku's Puutori, a square which hosts a Wäinö Aaltonen sculpture named "When Friendships are Made," commissioned in the 1950s to celebrate Turku and Gothenburg as twin cities. The square is also home to a former public bathroom that has been converted into a well-known English pub called the Waterloo.
The Kauppatori is normally a lively part of town with outdoor food and produce stands, ice cream and coffee kiosks. Tourists and locals alike gather there. It's the city's heart, surrounded by businesses and shops, and is the main transfer spot for Turku's buses. It has predictably been more quiet than usual this weekend, and has served as a gathering place for the grieving to show their respects, to share their experiences, to voice questions of uncertainty.
On Sunday morning, people from all walks of life circled the makeshift memorial, casting their eyes down and about, quietly as the orthodox church's bells tolled for several minutes.
There was no podium, no microphones and no political grandstanding or rushes to judgment. Instead, people spoke in hushed tones — stories of close calls, or what if's and what's next.
Just in front of Tanja Kukkula stood a woman wearing a headscarf indicating her Muslim faith, her eyes damp with tears. Asking not to use her name or photo, the woman explained that her husband is from North Africa and works in the market square. "Really, I didn't expect it to happen here," she said. "In the big cities like Barcelona or Paris, it's expected. We are a big city for Finland, but I live here. For me, it's like a small village."
Turku is inhabited by about 187,600 people. It's a southwestern city founded in the 13th century, making it the oldest city in Finland and the first capital of the country, later handing the title to Helsinki.
She recounted the wave of emotions of she and her husband after they arrived to the square early Friday evening minutes after the arrest, not knowing what had just transpired and seeing a lifeless body, head covered with a sheet. "It could have been anyone," she said, noting that even a mother like herself, pushing a stroller that held her youngest two children, could have been targeted.

On the memorial circle's periphery, Johanna and Joonas Aromaa, 33, stood with their one-year-old. They had come to Turku from Helsinki on Friday for a weekend holiday and were anticipating spending it visiting with friends.
Joonas said he had gone out with a group of friends for a couple of beers Friday, but things quickly changed. "After we read the news the mood changed," he said. Instead of a guys' night out, the group returned to be with their families.
Johanna said that they had been hoping the attack would be attributed to a single mentally ill individual, but once it was labeled as a terrorist incident, the worry deepened. "I think we can recognize that these forces exist in Finland," she said, quickly adding that this doesn't mean that people should be labeled or categorized. "But it seems that even medium-sized cities are in danger of being attacked."
According to news reports, Finland security officials for the first time said they have arrested individuals with no warrants or charges, which they say is allowed in certain circumstances under the law. The Aromaas said they trusted the government to not abuse their power. "My opinion is that when it's about terrorism, you can do anything needed to stop these things," Joonas said.
The couple noted that the incident in Turku seemed interlinked with events in Barcelona and other unrest and that each attack may provoke additional events in other locations. Johanna said it was scary because there is not one individual directing the attacks so it seems more difficult to prevent.
Vesa Ekholm and his family drove from Paimio to reflect on the moment. He said he was working in Turku on Friday, where his workplace holds a weekly meeting at the pub in Puutori. The meeting usually ends right at 16:00, when the attack began. This week, though, the group left 10 minutes early.
Ekholm expressed his thanks to Turku's local police force. He also noted how many bystanders of many backgrounds quickly got involved and followed the attacker to stop him. "It's very touching," he said. "I would like to have such courage if needed."
With his family Ekholm said they have been talking about the incident, asking how their teenaged children feel. He stressed that individuals are responsible for the attack, not people from certain countries or of a certain religious view. He said his son shared that he was ashamed that some of his immigrant friends have been harassed or assaulted.
Abdoullahi Sultan, 36, said that he still sometimes feels like a foreigner in Finland. He came to the country alone as a 13-year-old refugee from Somalia. He is now the executive director of Globaali Nuoret Ry, working with immigrant youth to create structure and support for them. He brought his six-year-old daughter to the Kauppatori site.
"I would like to teach my daughter we are all one society, one nation," he said.

Those who commit to a life of crime aren't always rotten to the core. Some are good people who made a few bad decisions until crime and chaos became the norm. Others, though, almost seem to take pleasure in indulging in bad behavior…
Not much is known about the background of Russian national Viktoria Nasyrova, but from 2014 onward, she seemed to be embroiled in scandal after scandal. Eventually, when her alleged crimes couldn't get worse, she committed one more jaw-dropping, heinous act—one that involved a deliciously rich dessert.

We are never alone. In our darkest times or brightest days we are surrounded by guides and angels who will come help and guide us. All you have to do is ask. During any kind of spiritual work, meditation, or just doing every day things, you can call upon your spirit guardians for assistance and guidance. Here is a list of the Archangels and their corresponding crystals, sign, scents, flowers, and attributes.
Archangels serve as guardians for our entire planet. Angels are messengers from the Divine, and as such, they will work with ANYONE who asks. You don't have to be of a certain religion and you don't have to be religious or spiritual to ask for angelic assistance. They are there to help everyone and that is their MISSION. They do not make exceptions.
Be still, take deep breaths and relax as you breathe.

1. Chip and Signature Awareness Raising
The vast majority of card transactions in the UK are authorised by chip and PIN. However, chip and signature is still a valid approval method. Some UK residents have problems using chip and PIN, mainly due to disability, so their bank issues them with a chip and signature card.
If the customer is disabled you have a legal obligation to cater for them under the Equality Act (2010) so it is important you and your staff know how to deal correctly with chip and signature cards. Overseas visitors may also need to sign to pay as chip and PIN is not used in all countries.
The Payment Council found that 1/4 of people who use a chip and signature card felt anxious when using the card, often resulting from the fact that staff were not familiar with the authorisation process. As a result there is an initiative to raise awareness and the Payment Council have produced materials with clear instructions on how to approve card transactions by signature. If you follow the instructions you are legally protected against card fraud to the same level as for chip and PIN.
- Dip the chip in the card reader then follow the prompts (or swipe if its a non chip card)
- If a signature is requested pass the receipt for the customer to sign
- Check the card and the signature to make sure they are genuine
- Return the card and their copy of the receipt to the customer
For more detailed instructions see this guide or the video below
2. Mobile Payments Project
Mobile payments are payments made using your mobile phone. There are different types of mobile payment for instance in the US there are several apps which allow customers to pay with their mobile phone. In spring 2014 the Payment Council is launching their own mobile payments service. Eight financial institutions representing 90% of UK current accounts are on board with the scheme which will allow payments to be made by simply entering the payees phone number.
Before the launch, participating financial institutions will invite customers to link their bank account to a phone number. Customers will then be able to send and receive payments on their phone as easily as sending a text message. Authorisation will require a password and payments to both individuals and businesses will be possible.
3. Account Switching Service
In September 2013 the Payments Council is to launch an account switching service for individuals, small businesses and charities. The service is to make it quicker and easier to switch bank accounts and is backed by guarantee.
- Deal only with new bank to switch
- Customer chooses switching date
- Switching time reduced to 7 days
- Free and backed by guarantee
- Redirection service for 13 months
I hope you found this post useful. For further details about any of these projects please visit the Payments Council website.

Letting Go of Anger
Wednesday is about Stopping the Drama
Photo by jurvetson
Everyone gets angry. Trigger events can be small things like being cut off in traffic, or big things like a profound disappointment or hurt from someone we love, or thought loved us. Whatever is the cause, anger is an important and useful emotion. It helps us keep others from pushing us around or abusing us. But if we hold on to anger, it no longer serves it's purpose, which is to protect us. When allowed to fester and be a part of our daily lives, anger can take over and be a negative force. I don't know why, but it is often very difficult to let go of anger. We often find it easier to stay bitter, and sullen and avoid embracing calm.
Letting go of anger doesn't just happen. It's an active process. Like most people, I have had wrongs and disappointments that make me angry. However, I try to move on and let go of my anger by doing the following:
- Put yourself in their shoes. I doubt that most people get out of bed and say "today I want to offend someone". Most transgressions occur because someone is being thoughtless, but not necessarily malicious. It seems to make it easier when you realize that the wrong being done is not about you, but is about the person's inability to be thoughtful. Did you get cut off in traffic? Maybe that person just had a horrible fight with their spouse and is not paying attention. Did someone you love let you down? Maybe that person is having problems caring for themselves, much less caring for you. Most people don't try to offend others, try to imagine why someone would behave the way they do.
- Know where your anger comes from. If little things are setting you off, then you may be angry about something else and using that little thing as an excuse to express your anger. Are you feeling frustrated at work and not respected? Does this anger come out when you are yelling at your kids because they have not cleaned up and you are feeling they are not respecting you? Try to understand the real source of your anger and direct it back to that source, and not onto others. While the little things may annoy you, reserve your anger for the real source.
- Take deep breathes. This is basic, but really important. Thousands of years of yoga practice, and loads of research on biofeedback demonstrate the benefits of deep breathing as a way to be calm. It doesn't have to be elaborate, just 20 deep breathes to get a momentary break. My oldest daughter is a real hot head, and I often tell her to count to 20 and breathe with each count when she is in an intense situation. I often have to use that same technique when dealing with her.
- Don't give others power over you. I have a friend who often spent her weekends complaining about the wrongs her boss had done to her. Then one day I asked her "why are you spending your free time thinking about your boss, when you can be sure she is not thinking about you?" Don't give others the power to put you in a bad mood or to ruin your good time. What's great about this is it is completely in your control. You can decide if you are going to let someone else make you feel bad or feel angry. If you decide to not let them get to you, they have no power over you. I've seen this when relationships end, or when couples continue to fight after they are apart. It is often due to the efforts of one of the partners to continue to engage the other. If you let your ex get you angry, or get you into a fight then s/he still has power over you. Don't give them that, don't engage.
- Say it once (or twice). People often walk around with anger, and never tell the person with whom they are angry. This can let it build up to create resentment or lead to passive aggressive behavior. If someone is doing something that makes you angry, then tell them. You may have to tell them more than once. They can decide if they are going to do anything with that information. However, you let it out and made them aware of the behavior that is making you angry. If that person is not available to you, then write it down and let them know in a letter. They may never get the letter, but you have put words to your feelings, expressed them and let them out.
- Just let it go. This is hard, but is really at the core of getting rid of anger. Just let it go. Sometimes you have to make a conscious choice to not hold on to anger. After you tell the person who made you angry, you've done what you can and it's up to them to deal with it. In the meantime, do you want to hold on to your anger, or do you want to let it go? If there is no benefit to being angry, then forgive the person and move on.
- Take your anger out on something else. The aggression you feel when you are angry can be a great energy boost. Use that adrenaline to work out, hit some balls, punch a bag, go for a run, or clean out a cluttered part of your home (perhaps the clutter that belongs to your ex?) Turn that energy into a positive activity.
- Make sure you are really angry. Sometimes people can experience other emotions that come out as anger. Perhaps you are not mad at the world, but depressed, anxious, scared, frustrated or even jealous. When it is hard to pinpoint the source of your anger, take some time to think about other emotions your are experiencing–they may give you a clue to the real issue you need to address.
- Make room for other emotions. Opening yourself to other emotions, leaves less room for being angry. It is hard to feel angry when you are focused on feeling gratitude, centeredness, or happiness. Like a lot of our emotions, they are very much under our own control regardless of our circumstances. So take a "glass half full" perspective and try to find the positive in your situation. As a concrete example, I was driving with my family today and we got a flat tire. However, the tire did not blow until after we got off the highway, were going at slower speeds, and had access to lots of gas stations. So while having a flat was annoying, I focused on how lucky we were that it did not happen on the highway, and it was easy to take care of. My husband had a less favorable view of the situation (but, then again, he was the one out in the cold changing the tire, while I went inside a warm convenience store to wait with the kids).
- If all else fails, plot your revenge to get back at the person who has done you wrong—–just kidding! Let it go!

Thank you that really helps! I just wish my ex had not made my life hell until he met his new love interest and now he thinks is life is great and I can do as a please! I feel so angry – BUT I will get the control back! Thanks
Thanks – I am trying and your comments about not giving others power over you were helpful (as were many other of your words)
well thought out plan. thanks for the assistance.
[…] Letting Go of Anger: Holding grudges is one of my worst failings, and each time I read "A Heavy Load" in Zen Shorts, I'm reminded of why this is so damaging. While you should be having fun and enjoying life, you live and relive your least fun moments over and over again. As Conflict Zen discusses here, it's also good for your health to let go of anger.

Popular fast bowler of West Indian cricket team: Courtney Andrew Walsh
by MairaS on November 10, 2012
in Profiles, West Indies
Andrew Walsh is a former fast bowler of the West Indian team who played at International level from 1984-2001 while he performed as a captain for the team in a total of 22 Test matches. Today, Walsh is most recognized for his brilliant opening bowling alliance with Curtly Ambrose. Not just this, he is also popular for making the record of maximum number of Test wickets from 2000.
Walsh made his first step into the world of fame in 1979 when he bagged 10 wickets in an innings performed in school cricket while it was only three years later that he made his first-class playing debut. In his Test debut against Australia in 1984, Walsh took 2 wickets for 43 runs. Later in the same season, he made his debut for ODI against Sri Lanka while in 2000, he played his last ODI against New Zealand. Walsh was bequeathed with the honor of being one of the Widen Cricketers of the Year in 1987. Having been appointed as a captain for the West Indian team for the tours of New Zealand and India in 1994, he bagged 62 Test wickets at an average of 21.75 runs per wicket in 1995. This feat was better enhanced in 2000 when he then performed at an average of 18.69 while securing 66 Test wickets. This included 34 wickets in the Test series that Walsh played against the English team at an average of 12.82 runs per wickets. Walsh claimed 519 wickets in test cricket at an economy rate of 2.53. He claimed 227 wickets in the One Day International cricket at an economy rate of 3.83.
Today, Courtney Andrew Walsh is a regular feature of the Lashing World XI and owns a restaurant by the name of Cuddyz in Jamaica. Walsh is one bowler who is always going to be an inspiration for younger fast bowlers who are crazy about pace and quite fond of scaring the opponent teams.

Thinky 1.15.1 and a sneak peek at the future
Thinky 1.15.1 just got released! Sorry for the wait, I was quite busy these last weeks. Here is what comes with this new release:
- More readable code
- Running tests now takes about 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes. This is mostly because tests now re-use the same tables.
- Some big and cumbersome methods have been refactored in smaller ones
- Better Performance, a simple benchmark that creates/validates documents
runs about 3 times faster:
- The code was optimized for v8
bind, etc.
- Generating virtual fields does not require a full traversal of a document,
the comlexity being now
nis the number of virtual fields. The same goes for fields with default values. This was first mentioned by @colprog via the pull request 139
- Less copying for documents and options.
- The code was optimized for v8
- Some bug fixes:
One important note is that now, we have the following behavior:
var values = {name: "Michel"};
var user = new User(values);
assert.strictEqual(user, values); // This used to be false before
// But do not worry, this still holds true
var userCopy = new User(values);
assert.notStrictEqual(user, userCopy);
About the next steps, there are two interesting things coming:
- Introduce a new way to declare schema, sometihng similar to hapi/joi and unify the schema under the hood. This should eventually provide sightly better performance.
- RethinkDB 1.16 is close, and it introduces point change feeds,
meaning that thinky will be able to provide a document that will
automatically update and emit an event when it is the case.
This will probably come with a light module that will automatically hook thinky to sockjs. This is going to be pretty cool, trust me :)
Feedback/suggestions? Ping me on Twitter via @neumino or shoot me an email at [email protected].

Part #: GTR-136913 Posted on
|I previously had a folding hard cover. I wasn't sure if I would like this type. It has been very useful and practical.
|Quick easy install, great value, great product
Part #: GTR-136913 Posted on
|This cover is exactly what I expected. It has held up well so far and remains taught, repelling water and debris very well. The Velcro on the sides is very secure and should last a long time since it is not exposed to sunlight. The only thing I think is a bit lacking are the clamps. They are aluminum, which should hold up well, but they are a bit difficult to install. Since the serrations on the clamp don't grip very well on the backside of the edge of the truck box, I had to use a crescent wrench to counteract the the twisting on the bolt while tightening to keep the clamp in the proper position. Otherwise the clamp would slip and rotate out of place. Overall a great product!
Part #: GTR-136913 Posted on
|This tonneau cover is made of durable material that will last and has great features. First, the bars that go at end, center, and front of cab are not clips that you need to slide in or out to get off. When rolled up the bars are attached to the cover so there is no need to get inside to remove anything. Very waterproof, I took a road trip down to Texas during this passed snow, rain, and sleet weather and the cover had zero leaks anywhere. I am very satisfied on my purchase.

Alot has happened since my previous post!
Johns has been reassembled… mostly. There are still computers ready to be tripped over, cables that will tie better knots than most scouts with not nearly as much tuition and an internet connection with two speeds (Really fast and off). So we all feel completely at home then!
As for the club machines, we had an overheating issue on the 3GHz pentium, but that was the main issue, as it decided to erase its BIOS before we could fix it… So with a new motherboard it is now back up and running, aswell as being replaced with other club machine (an acer donated by Dave).
The left hand machine is currently Johns quad core with 8GB of ram running Windows 7 x64 on a BIOS that will only boot a USB device if it has a GPT partition table. This is not realy an issue, I installed GRUB2 onto a flash drive and we can now boot Zorin (which is a spin of Ubuntu) without any issues.
Both displays are now LCDs, so we have now have more desk space… that we promply filled with coffee, screwdrivers and various graphics cards.
I think that brings us mostly up to speed, so if you will excuse me I have a top score on Chuzzle to beat.

The annual Oz Days in New London proved the 1939 film, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" still has plenty of fans almost 80 years after it hit the big screen.
The annual Oz Days in New London proved the 1939 film, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" still has plenty of fans almost 80 years after it hit the big screen.
People of all ages arrived at the Old School Event Center and the adjacent New London City Park for this year's weekend celebration.
The costumed Spirit of Oz performers came from Indianapolis to meet area residents and visitors from several states.
Parents shared Oz enthusiasm with their children, several of whom reported watching the movie many times with their parents and/or grandparents.
Children participated in costume contests like the Little Miss Dorothy competition.
Evie Weyand, 3, the daughter of J.C. and Mariah Weyand, of Hannibal, won the age 1 to 6 division. When the judges asked her name, Evie said, "Dorothy Gale from Kansas," adding, "There's no place like home" three times.
Evie's family said they had taken her to three Oz stage productions, in St. Louis, Kansas City and Clarksville.
The Dorothy contest for older girls was won by Kiley Morris, 10, the daughter of Clarence Morris and Michelle Garnett, of Columbia. She brought her pet yorkie, Teddy, to represent Toto.
Kiley said she had been preparing for the contest for a long time. "Mom glittered my shoes, and we ordered the socks and bows."
Another contest offered the costumed children an opportunity to share their favorite part of the movie as they were judged portraying their favorite Oz character. Eight-year-old Evie Walker, of Maplewood, took home the grand prize dressed as a Tingirl.
Sisters Piper Ross, 5, and Raelin Ross, 8, of Indianola, Iowa, both were dressed as Glinda, the Good Witch of the South.
Additional contests were scheduled for boys, babies and adults.
Between contests, the children and adults watched an Oz puppet show, which had been scheduled in the park but was moved indoors due to the wind.
After the puppet show, the puppeteer posed for photos with the puppets. Eli Wood, 8, of Fulton, took his own photos of the puppets and puppeteer.
Games and activities for children were offered in the park, and some had faces painted, including Hays Frericks, 6, and his brother, Lincoln, 3.
Patricia Wilson, an Oz fan from Toronto, Canada, visited New London for the first time and came to meet her friend, Celeste Hertz, a collector and dealer with a booth.
Hertz, of Alton, Illinois, said her parents had taken her to see Oz as a young child and, "I got to know the Munchkins," who have since all died.
Oz collector Deborah Burdick, of Denver, said she came to see "this beautiful small town" and also to meet her collecting friends.
Among the booths in "Dorothy's Marketplace" displaying Oz paraphernalia was a jewelry booth manned by Linda Robbins, of Laddonia, and Michelle Talbert, of Vandalia, both dressed as Dorothy.

Technical material
Moisture Measuring
It has always been a challenge to the concrete industry to measure the moisture of materials. Therefore, Haarup have for some time offered their customers an automatic moisture device for their aggregate bins.
Moisture measuring takes place through a microwave probe that is fitted in to the aggregate bins, in the middle of the flow of aggregates. The probe gives a true reading of the actual moisture percentage. Hereby a correction of the free moisture at each mix is obtained and moisture does not have to be manually tested. Using in conjunction with Haarup's Mixo3000 control the probe for moisture measuring is an extremely good tool to obtain homogeneous concrete. The signal is taken directly into the control that corrects each mix and arranges for the extra quantity of materials to be batched for which the moisture "cheats" the weigh hopper. The signal from the moisture probe can either be sent directly to the mixer control or via a separate box that shows the moisture percentage on a display unit that can be installed in the plant.
A moisture sensor can for instance be installed on a travelling weigh belt or a batching belt.

"seven" does not escape this ritual, although we took our time to sort out the last offerings of the year with its usual before the holidays rush (apparently it affects even obscure electronic music genres).
these summaries seem to be a little pointless - on one hand, we are faced with the task of journalistic integrity - one needs to take into account everything that has been released in 2002, spend time analyzing and comparing, finally arriving at some conclusions. obviously, we could be reviewing and discovering gems released in 2002 for months an even years to come (take arbre noir meets polygon collaboration or telefon tel aviv's "fahrenheit not enough" that I got to hear only a year after their appearance).
on another hand, we keep going back and forth along the coils of a spiral that is music evolution; it would be unfair to limit my personal "year in music" just to the new material. missing persons and arvo pärt, xenakis and steve roach, drexciya and apoptose were some of the (re)discovered new names that have started obsessions illuminated by the gleeful glow of collector's eyes.
how does one "judge" the records? our impression is influenced by so many factors - there is no "pure" response - we are way past the idealistic claims of music as the absolute entity - we are influenced by artwork, the thought and the process behind the sound (sometimes the question is - do we really want to dig deeper into these, since it can destroy our initial fascination?), by innovation and references to various cultural contexts. all of the above is overlaid on top of our previous tastes and overall aesthetics. of course, one has to separate the format - how do you compare a brilliant 3" record and a double-cd that contains twice as much excellent material as well as plenty of spoilers? how do we evaluate the work of a label that often shapes and completes the creative vision of the artist (ant-zen being an example)?
the older we get, the more music we listen to, the more books we read, the more films we watch - the more we experience, not only widening (in purely quantitative terms), but also "deepening" the search. we always keep coming back again and again, to the core of our ideals, shaping and refining - whatever were the initial forces that drove us to energy of ebm, to idealism of industrial, to beauty of dark ambience, cold minimalism of glitch, drive of electro or radicalism of idm - all these genres that transcend the notion of "just music." we continuously refine, redefined, and cross-reference our impressions from these genres; new, radical, subversive, experimental, dark will always attract us, but those very definitions change as the time goes by.
we will not answer all of these questions here, we do not propose any solutions; instead we offer a compromise: what follows is an unordered list of albums that appeared in 2002 and caught our attention.

Why Do People Wear Hats
People wear many different types of hats. From simple h […]
People wear many different types of hats. From simple hat hats to sun visors, to designer hats, just do the right fashion statement, hats can tell you a lot about wearers. If you ask someone else for their hat, they will usually tell you why they wear it. However, it may be more than they tell you. I believe there are three main reasons people wear certain hats. It may be just one or a combination of the three: protection, membership, and style.
Protective cap
When a person is exposed to elements (sun, heat, rain and cold), the hat can protect the ears, neck, face and head of the top. Many people are told by their doctors to wear sunscreen caps. A good hat will protect all the wearer's head, and sometimes even their shoulders. Wide straw hat is the best choice, unless it involves air travel. For travel, can be rolled wide-brimmed hat is a good choice.
Attached to the hat
People who belong to a particular group, club, or team often want their headdress to recognize the association. Most team sports caps fit this category. There are other outdoor activities such as fishing hat, boating and sailing caps, car-related hats, golf and tennis shades and many other activities that you can identify or classify through your headdress. In the indoor fishing show, to see someone in the wandering is unusual. People really like to show their connections through their hats or other clothes.
Military cap
A special category in the hats is the uniform style headgear. From camouflage back flaps to the Gospel of the army, to the classic captain hat. No other style or type of display belongs to a group other than a military hat.
Hat style
People like to wear the latest fashion, style or just follow the latest trends. Student-style hats are a good example. They are distressed (to make it look used) and have a small bill. While they offer minimal protection, they are very popular with fashion awareness. Decorative sun visor is another example of headdress, more of a style rather than a function.
A variety of reasons for the hat
Sometimes people wear hats for more than one reason. The cowboy-style hat offers good protection, can be very fashionable, and in most cases also represents a subsidiary. Floating hats are another example. Originally designed for boating and use on the water, they have become a very popular fashion look. So the next time you wear a hat to consider all the reasons or just put it, let someone else want to know why. For more information, visit http://www.zjkaijiacrafts.com.

Patanjali Yoga Sutras, written almost 2500 years ago, are the earliest treatise on yoga. In the book Sage Patanjali enunciates in a scientific manner how to control thought - a process which makes the mind powerful enough so that when it focuses on any subject its complete knowledge results. The book consists of 195 sutras and is divided into four sections. The first two sections give instructions on how to do yoga for control of thought waves; the third section is on physical powers that a yogi obtains by practising yoga and the last section is on how to get liberated from the cycle of birth and death. Thus in Vibhuti Pada (powers section) of Yoga Sutras, Patanjali talks about how concentrating on various subjects like akaash (space) or various parts of the body a yogi understands the laws of universe and human body and gains mastery over natural forces so that he/she attains super powers like walking on water, flying in space or at will can enter some other body, etc.! However, at the end of Vibhuti Pada (it has 56 sutras), Patanjali discusses the concept of space and time in two sutras with uncanny resemblance to what Einstein talked almost 2500 years later on. Patanjali says,"By making sanyam (combination of concentration, meditation and samadhi) on a single moment and on the sequence of moments, a yogi gets vivek (exalted knowledge) so that he/she can comprehend all objects in universe simultaneously irrespective of their location and sequence of change". Or in other words, the Mind of God! And according to John A Wheeler, one of the world's foremost expert son relativity, Einstein's theory of gravitation can be simply stated as "Events and the interval between events build space-time". The geometric nature of space-time gives rise to gravity, tells the mass on how to move, and is the basis of Universe and the movement of all heavenly bodies. Similarly, there are other sutras whose knowledge has been shown to be vindicated by modern science. I think a whole book can be written about their relevance to science and technology. For example, Patanjali describes God as a special entity beyond time and space (Section I) and is identified by the original word or sound. According to the existing scientific theories about the origin of Universe, the first thing that came out was sound even before light and matter. Later commentaries on Yoga Sutras talk about this sound as Aum, but Patanjali never mentioned Aum but said original word or sound. Again in Vibhuti Pad, he says that by doing sanyam on the hollow of throat one conquers hunger and thrust. Recently scientists have discovered that by stimulation of vagus nerve, hunger pangs can be suppressed. Vagus nerve is concentrated near the easophagus tube – close to the hollow of throat. Last year the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved a device which can electrically stimulate the vagus nerve so that the brain gets the signal that stomach is full. The comparison of Patanjali Yoga Sutras with modern science is neither to belittle the latter nor to glorify our ancient tradition – both are important in their own way, but to show that all great thoughts originate from the same Knowledge Space irrespective of person and time of their discovery. I have always found Patanjali Yoga Sutras as a source of almost limitless knowledge and feel that more we delve into them and try to understand their meaning; the deeper it gets with more hidden truths still remain to be discovered.

By Uncutz
The kitchen was in full swing. I was walking slowly with a foggy head. Felicia spotted me ambling toward the dining room and called out, "Frank is awake." Shade swung quickly around the corner, her green flowered skirt swaying with the momentum. Her lovely hair extension flowed just moments behind her, catching a small draft and flaring out for moment. I saw determination in her eyes. I was ready for an earful so I pre-empted.
"I'm sorry." It came out hoarsely, my throat wasn't ready for words. So I cleared it with a cough quickly and continued, "I'll get out of here and leave you alone."
"What were you thinking?" Shade's voice was controlled, and I don't think it carried past me. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the office. I followed, her will being stronger than my mushy brain could counter. "I had everyone looking for you." She pushed me back on the camp bed and began covering me with the blankets.
"I thought…" Shade didn't let me finish.
"You didn't think," Shade stated firmly, then her voice cracked, "if Fabio hadn't found you…God… you were gone when he brought you back." There were tears running down her cheeks which she quickly wiped away. I was confused and my brain wasn't processing at full speed. She sat down on the floor next to me, spreading her skirt evenly around her. "I am so sorry." It sounded like she wanted to say more. She couldn't get it out and wiped away another tear.
"I don't understand," I said quietly. One minute I thought she wanted me to leave and the next to stay.
"I don't either," Shade said, her voice cracking, "it was cold last night, and I thought you were going to die." She dropped her head into her hands and sobbed.
"I didn't though." It was an obviously useless statement. I thought back to crawl into that small open church building. It was almost my grave. "My stupidity isn't your fault." Shade tried to say something, then thought better of it. She stood, instead, wiping her eyes.
"I'm going to get you some food. You're not to leave." It wasn't a request. I watched her leave. Something had changed and I couldn't completely wrap my head around it.
Shade returned and allowed me to sit up. She placed a plate of semo and hot ogbono soup on the desk. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until the smell hit me. She sat with me, watching me eat, smiling while I devoured the meal. When I pushed the empty plate away, she spoke.
"I want to take back what I said." Shade looked at me, then her eyes drifted toward the empty plate. "I was angry…I can't really explain it and it confuses me." She looked back at me. "I don't want you to leave, although I know you might. I wouldn't blame you."
"I'm pretty messed up," I admitted. I tried to kill myself and then almost did it accidentally. "I'm not sure if I do more harm than good." Shade put her hand over mine.
"I have been playing Richard's favourite song every day at 4:00 for nine years." Shade smiled as she thought about it. "I've been hiding in here behind a promise. My acquaintances all live on the streets. I am the poster child of messed up and I am highly efficient at it." I didn't move my hand, thinking she might remove hers. I felt guilty enjoying the human touch. The last person I touched died in my arms. It felt nice to be close to someone again.
"I threw my life away to live under the bridge with Fabio," I said to top Shade's concept of messed up. She laughed as I smiled. It was nice to see her eyes crinkle and little dimples form on her cheeks. I was happy she didn't remove her hand.
"So you'll stay for a while?" Shade's eyes were hopeful.
"I could use the distraction this place provides," I said honestly. "Those little solvable tasks are welcoming. I would also like to see this FIRS thing through. I kind of pisses me off." Shade's smile widened.
"You can sleep here until you find someplace better." Shade rose and picked up the empty. I felt a small emptiness when she removed her hand from mine. "If you feel better in the morning, I'll put you to work." She started walking out, then stopped in the doorway and turned back toward me. "Thank you for not hating me." She spun back around and disappeared out the door before I could form a response. I had no idea where that came from. I was hating myself, not her.
I ate dinner with Fabio the next day. I thanked him for finding me the other night. It turns out I actually walked back to the City Kitchen with his help. I remembered nothing of the walk. Fabio's lecture on how to survive on the streets was long and disjointed. I listened patiently, knowing he was the reason I was there to learn it.
Shade and I began working closer together. I learned proper menu management and stock control. The problems that plagued me during her brief sickness were the norm, not the exception. She just had the tools to deal with them without panicking. The management skills she taught me would put Harvard Business School to shame. There was a change in Shade during the period. She would smile more and become more tolerant. I still had to do it right, without exception. She just identified the many errors in a pleasant, non-demanding way.
I was able to get into cookery contest with Shade. I worked with vigour and was handily beaten again. She had nine years' experience, but I think I did a lot better than the first time. I suspected I could beat her given a few more tries. I loved her triumph face. Maybe I would never win.
I really enjoyed the escape from my past. I also knew that staying forever wasn't much of a possibility. I had commitments I had been ignoring that would cause festering problems if I continued to neglect them. Using the office computer, I logged into my bank account. Nothing has changed on my account. I was a little concerned about my car. I had left it in the parking lot of a mall and I wondered if it was still there. I shrugged my shoulders and made payments to the Let's Fix It Initiative, an NGO I support quarterly. It felt a little weird transferring the money. I had spent a lot of time these last weeks, trying to avoid real life. I was taking a step toward normalcy, and I still wasn't wholly comfortable with the move. I had already checked the boxes and hit 'pay' so I couldn't step back. I stroked my growing beard and logged out.
It was just a step, I'll take the leap later.
Three weeks after the FIRS audit, a letter arrived. Shade was crushed and I was livid. The FIRS had identified the one thousand, five hundred naira window cleaning payment as an undocumented cash disbursement. They claimed it indicated fraud and were notifying Shade that a seven year audit of both the City Kitchen, and her personal account, will commence in ninety days. It was the second time I had seen Shade cry. This time it was on my shoulder. It took a few minutes to return to work.
The City Kitchen's fundraising banquet was a week prior to the new audit. The pressure mounting on Shade showed in her face. She couldn't stop the banquet, its proceeds are necessary to keep the kitchen running.
"They're going to ruin me," Shade said with surprisingly calm, "maybe this was all meant to end." I saw the signs of depression setting in. I knew them well.
"Only if you let them." I avoided the word 'we.' It was hard not to try to make it our problem. It felt like it was ours.
"I'm going to need you if I fight," Shade said as she stopped slicing onion and looked up at me. I tied off the garbage bag I had just pulled it out of the can and smiled with confidence. She needed the support.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." I watched her lips curve into a malicious grin as she went back to the onion. The knife moved with blazing speed. I think she was imagining FIRS fingers as she cut.
Shade woke me early the next morning. She handed me the morning paper. There was a small article in the bottom right of the front page. 'Promise Keeper Alive?' was the heading.
"They say there were movements in your accounts," Shade said quietly. There was no one else here so I wasn't sure why she was almost whispering. "They are requesting you come forward."
"I made a donation yesterday," I whispered back. It was contagious, the whispering. "I guess they were monitoring the accounts." I read the article and, as Shade had said, a detective Bakare was asking me to come forward and claim my wallet. "I'm not ready to go back. Not with that singing thing." For some reason, I didn't like being forced back into society. I was planning to drift back slowly. Shade sat on the edge of the camp bed.
"You can hide as long as you need." She took the newspaper back. "Forever if you need to." Dolapo would have loved Shade. Dolapo never let the world tell her what to do. She made up her own mind and then steered the world to it. I saw a lot of that drive in Shade. I just needed to get the FIRS out of her way so she could live her life, her way.
"Thank you," I responded, and meant it. Shade's eyes sparkled as she rose.
"We have work to do," Shade stated. It wasn't lost on me that she used the word 'we.' I jumped out of bed. There were people to feed and an FIRS audit to thwart.
A week before the banquet, my beard had finally come into its own. Shade hated it, but endured it for my anonymity. She gave me a battery operated trimmer so I would at least keep it groomed. I had spent countless hours going over Shade's tax returns. There were no glaring errors. Nothing that would even hint at fraud. I was confident the witch hunt would end the next week. The FIRS has a lot of power, but would still have to defend themselves in court if need be.
Unfortunately, I was not prepared for the next bomb to drop. Shade and I were standing at the head of the line, monitoring the dining hall when a fat gentleman in jeans, red shirt and papa's cap pushed his way to the front. Shade moved quickly, her glare set to dagger mode.
"You must be new." Shade stated the obvious and moved to block the man from moving forward. I moved in next to her, thinking she looked awfully small next the man.
"Shade Aiyeto?" the man asked with little politeness.
"Yes, and your name?" Shade responded with an equal lack of charm. The man handed her an envelope.
"You've been served." The man smiled and headed out the door. Shade's shoulders slumped, then her back straightened again. She moved back to allow the rest of the line through, gritting her teeth.
"Can you keep your eyes on things, Frank?" Shade asked with false calm. I nodded and she headed off to the office. She didn't return.
When the meal ended I started the clean-up process without Shade. When everyone was assigned a task I went to the office, my temporary home, looking for her. I found her asleep on the camp bed. Shade's eye sockets were blushed red and sunken. I quietly moved to the desk where a stapled set of papers lay. The top sheet had a few small crinkled spots where wetness had dried. Tears.
I picked up the papers and read. I felt my throat knot at the first few paragraphs. A class action lawsuit filed by a donor claiming fraud. There were twenty seven pages of legal language and the citing of precedents. Both the City Kitchen and Shade were at risk. These people, whoever they were, were not going to stop with a fraudulent FIRS audit. Shade was right, they were going to ruin her.
I sat on the floor and watched Shade sleep. I wanted to wake her and tell her it was going to be okay, but that would only make it worse for her. In the end, she was innocent and would prevail. I just didn't know when the end would arrive. The lawyers she needed to hire would most likely charge enough to send everything into a financial ruin.
I rose, opened the file cabinet and retrieved the donor book for three years ago. I turned to the page with Dolapo's name and ran my finger across it. Dolapo saw something in this place, something in need of support. There was no way I was going to let Dolapo or Shade down, not while I was breathing. Defense was no longer an option.
I left Shade sleeping, and quietly left the room. She needed the sleep, and I needed to think. I cleaned and inspected, letting the helpers go once everything was to Shade's standards. I locked up and sat in the main hall, thinking. The rudiments of a plan developed, I knew the lawsuit wasn't the end. The timing was deliberate. They meant to kill the banquet and destroy the City Kitchen's funding. Things would get worse before they got better. I would need help, and, to get it, I had to come out of hiding.

Donovan Hits the Field Saturday
New York, NY (Friday, June 21, 2002) - After enduring an intense and emotionally draining World Cup quarterfinal encounter against Germany on Friday and a 12-hour flight from South Korea, U.S. and San Jose Earthquakes star forward Landon Donovan will waste no time in joining the Earthquakes, his MLS club team.
The 20-year-old, who was a key figure in the best American showing at the World Cup since 1930, will be in uniform for the Earthquakes this Saturday, June 22 at Spartan Stadium when San Jose hosts Western Conference rivals the Colorado Rapids (10:00 p.m. ET). Scorer of two World Cup goals (tied for the team high), Donovan will be available to media for interviews before and after the match.
"The last few weeks in Korea have been tremendously exciting and a great adventure," Donovan said. "I think we proved that U.S. soccer players can compete on the world stage and Major League Soccer certainly has been a huge part of that. It is now time to get back to the Earthquakes and do what I can to help us repeat as MLS Cup champions. I am so excited to be back home in front of the Earthquakes fans who have given me such great support both with the national team and in MLS."
Saturday's itinerary for Donovan, which includes an early morning arrival in Los Angeles and an early afternoon trip up to San Jose, will conclude with the Earthquakes' match against the Rapids. Donovan's last appearance with San Jose came on April 20, a 2-0 win over Colorado at Spartan Stadium, in which he scored.
Donovan, one of the youngest players at the 2002 World Cup, was also one of the top performers for the U.S. in Korea/Japan. He joined Columbus Crew forward Brian McBride as the first American player to score two goals in a World Cup since Bert Patenaude in 1930. Although credited with two goals (vs. Mexico and vs. Poland) Donovan also delivered the shot that resulted in the second U.S. goal against No. 5 ranked Portugal in a 3-2 win. A member of MLS' Strike Force, Donovan is the only member of the U.S. National Team to appear in all 19 matches played this year, including the five World Cup matches in Korea. He leads the U.S. team with 1,473 minutes played in 2002 scoring 14 points (6g, 2a), good for third on the team.
On Friday his world-class abilities shone in the World Cup quarterfinal in Ulsan, South Korea as the U.S. dominated the match against Germany only to see its efforts go unrewarded in a 1-0 loss. Donovan created the best scoring opportunities for the U.S. against the Europeans including a spectacular run into the box from the right side which included a nutmeg and a curling shot destined for the low left corner. However, goalkeeper Oliver Kahn barely deflected the shot and he would go on to stifle the U.S. on the night.
On the heels of his performances on the world stage, Donovan was selected as the cover subject of this week's issue of Sports Illustrated, the second MLS player to be featured in the last month (Clint Mathis of the MetroStars was the other). Other recent national media appearances by Donovan include Good Morning America, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman.

After 51 years of existence, the Border Security Force (BSF) has made history by appointing its first woman field officer. Tanushree Pareek, a 25-year-old from Bikaner, Rajasthan, became the first woman to join the BSF in the officer rank. She had been selected after clearing the all-India examination conducted by UPSC in 2014. She had to undergo 52 weeks of an intensive training programme that comprised of training, intelligence gathering, and battle craft, among other border guarding tasks.
Tanushree was felicitated in a convocation ceremony held in the BSF Academy at Tekanpur in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior district. It was Home Minister Rajnath Singh himself who put the rank stars on her shoulder.
While speaking with India Today, Rajnath Singh said,
I am happy that the BSF has got its first woman field officer and hope that many more women will join her in securing our borders.
Tanushree proudly led 67 trainee officers who were a part of the passing out parade. Fifty one of the 67 are direct entry officers, while the remaining are officers who have been promoted. She will be posted in Punjab along the India-Pakistan border, where she will be taking up the role of Assistant Commandant.
The Border Security Force (BSF) came into being in 1965, and has primarily been tasked with keeping safe the nation's borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh. The BSF has a total of 2.5 lakh people in service to keep the borders safe and secure. Apart from the Indian military, the BSF is the only force that operates on land, water, and air. While speaking with The Times of India, the Home Minister said,
BSF is not only the first line of defence, but also the first wall of defence.
One of the most respected forces in India has also acknowledged that having a desired job, no matter in which field, is as much a right of a woman as it is of a man.

So I just thought that I would give a little update on the girls. Amber is doing a little better everyday with adjusting to being a big sister. She slowly (very slowly) starting to let me get a few feet away from her without panicking. She has been a good helper when it comes to Elle, she loves to help if it is for Elle.
Now to Elle. She had a doctors appointment yesterday and has grown a lot. I was guessing that she would weigh around 7lb. 10oz. or so but I was way off. She weighed in at 8lb. 14oz. In the 3 weeks and 2 days since her birth she has gained 2 pounds. I could tell that she was chunking up but wow. She also grew in her length to 22 inches which puts her in the 91% for her age. So as you can see she is just getting bigger and bigger. Oh how time goes by too fast. She is starting to have a schedule which is nice. I am still adjusting to it myself. Eventually we will be able to be ready for the day before 10:30-11:00.

Mother of two
It has now been two whole weeks since Elle was born and let me tell you it is a different world at my house. I feel like a slacker in a way because I don't get a lot done around the house anymore. It is a little frustrating and I know that it is to be expected in the beginning but I still have a hard time letting everyone else do the jobs I normally do. I guess I should enjoy my break. Amber has really had her world turned upside down and won't let me out of her sight anymore, not even to go to the bathroom. I think she is afraid I will leave. It has been hard on both of us. I just hope that she will let others help her and play with her soon. She really loves to hold and kiss her baby sister. Elle is doing great, just getting bigger and chunkier. She is a good mellow baby. All in all things are going well.

It's a really interesting show to watch. It's interesting to watch because of all the characters they have like Lady the unicorn, Jake the Dog, Princess Bubble Gum, Lumpy Space Princess, Ice King and Fin.

The Fire and Chivas USA played to a 1-1 draw in Chicago's third preseason tune-up of 2013. Rookie midfielder Yazid Atouba continued to make a case for landing a spot on the roster with his second goal in three games. During his weekly conference call yesterday Frank Klopas praised Atouba's ability to create but noted that he still needed to improve in other areas such as discipline, playing without the ball and defending. "He's a young and talented player whose got the willingness to work hard and that's a good thing," said Klopas. Atouba chipped a pass from Chris Rolfe past Chivas goalkeeper Tim Melia in the 52nd minute to tie the match. The Cameroonian midfielder has displayed skills and flair on the ball that are hard to come by in MLS even while working to improve on the areas Klopas referenced. With three weeks remaining in camp, Atouba seems to have a very good shot at securing one of the Fire's three open international roster spots.
Here is the Fire line-up used today:
GK Tornaghi (Kann 75')
D Anibaba (Sterres 61'), Kinney (Pause 45'), Berry (McKenzie 61'), Segares (Gallagher 61')
M Thompson (Alex 61', Pabon 94'), Lindpere (Paladini 61'), Larentowicz (King 61', Mercado 88'), Bone (Atouba 45', Trialist 4 88')
F MacDonald (Brettschneider 61'), Rolfe (Trialist 3 61')
The Fire also released an updated list of trialists in camp yesterday. The revised list includes a couple of new trialists but did not name former Seattle draft choice Daniel Sterres, who played in the match today. Also absent from the list was unnamed trialist #2 who is no longer with the club. Trialists #3 and #4 are domestically based players who have not been named as of yet. Dailos Tejera, a forward playing in Spain's third division trained with the Fire for a week or two last summer and is getting another look this spring.
Miscellaneous notes:
- Klopas mentioned in his conference call that Duka can play either side out wide, describing him as dynamic and quick off the dribble. The club was thin outside with Alvaro Fernandez' departure and needed to address the wing position, therefore necessitating the trade for Duka. He feels good about where they are at the wide spots at this point.
- The Fire are still looking to add another striker and there are options being explored both from outside and within MLS. "There are options outside of the league that we're looking at pursuing," said Klopas while noting that the European window will open again in July.
- The Fire are down to Sherjill MacDonald, Maicon Santos, and Chris Rolfe at the forward spot. Klopas said Alex may get a chance to fill in with minutes in the withdrawn/second striker position since that is where he played in Switzerland.
- Klopas on Duka's departure from Columbus amid reports of issues with the coaching staff. "We spent a lot of time (talking about Duka) and it had to make a lot of sense for us. We spent a lot of time talking to the player and being crystal clear about what our expectations are and how we expect people to act within our organization. It also had to make sense from a budget standpoint, not only this year but also next year."
- One the things he liked about Duka during conversations with the player and others familiar with him was his competitiveness. "Sometimes things happen and get blown out of proportion," said Klopas. "I don't think there's an issue from the character standpoint".
- Klopas also addressed the rights to Robbie Rogers and said the club has tried to reach him and speak to him. The club is open to exploring all possibilities with him including adding him to the roster. "We have options to do a lot of things. He's a valuable asset that we can look to bring on the team and if there are opportunities and it makes sense for us to trade those rights, I think you have to look at all those options," said Klopas.
- Duka, Patrick Nyarko, and Arne Friedrich should be ready to play against San Jose on Saturday.

Who would discharge the duties of President , if seats of both President and Vice President are vacant in India?
Chief Justice of India. Justice M Hidaytullah acted a president in 1969 in his capacity as Chief justice of India as both the offices of President and Vice president were vacant at that time. Justice Mohammad Hidayatullah was holding the post of Chief Justice of India, the then Acting President of India, late V.V. Giri, tendered resignation in order to contest the Presidential Election. Justice Hidayatullah was thereupon sworn in as the Acting President of India on 20th July 1969 and served in that capacity till late V.V. Giri was sworn in as the duly elected President of the Republic. After his retirement as the Chief Justice of India, he was unanimously elected as the Vice President of India as a result of a consensus amongst different political parties and occupied that high office with distinction from 1979 to 1984.
