I forgot I was taking Wednesday off social media and immediately checked my mentions and notifications when I woke up. When I remembered, I stopped. I hadn't looked at my FB feed or Twitter TL, and I don't plan on doing that today. I feel bad about it, but in my defense, I'm discombobulated by my parents' visit.
Speaking of which, one of my biggest pet peeves is being talked at the second I wake up. This is an ongoing issue with my parents. They've been up for hours (usually) by the time I get up, and they have a list of things they NEED to discuss with me the SECOND I wake up. As I mentioned in my previous post, one of my favorite things about living alone is that I don't actually have to talk to people most of the time. I work at home, so I don't have coworkers, either. I don't sleep well, either, so I'm usually groggy when I wake up. I feed Shadow his breakfast (which he didn't care for this morning. Probably because it's a day old and had been in the fridge. This is a new pet peeve of his); I smoke half a cigarette; I do my taiji routine. After that, I start on my big vat of Coke Zero (sob, we didn't have enough time together), and I slowly start feeling like a human being.
After an hour or so, I can do any communications I need to do as long as they're electronic. To actually talk to people in real life, I need at least two hours of silence. I'm not saying this is a good thing, nor am I saying it's optimal. I realize I'm privileged because I can set this schedule for myself on a regular basis. That said, I hate having questions pelted at me the second I walk in the vicinity of my parents. Not only haven't I had the time to wake up yet, my brain isn't yet functioning. It's yawning and grumbling and slowly stretching its metaphorical arms.
I've given up coffee for several reasons, one being that as I get older, it's harder on my stomach. The downside is that I don't get the boost drinking coffee gives you. I love my Coke Zero (noooooo don't gooooooooooo), but it's just not the same. I'm sure there's nearly an equivalent amount of caffeine, but it doesn't kick in the same way. I want a punch to the gut, which coffee delivers. Coke Zero (why, Coca-Cola, why???) is more like an ivy drip with its steady stream of caffeine.

Snoring and nasal congestion – what is nasal congestion?
'If only I could breathe through my nose, I would stop snoring now!'
How many times have you thought that? Blowing your nose is like trying to force your way through heavy traffic by driving closer to the car in front. It just makes congestion worse.
That is because the amount of catarrh in your nose, is only half of the congestion problem.
Nasal congestion causes snoring – Snoring worsens nasal congestion
It is a vicious circle. Snoring is the sound of your body struggling to force air through too narrow airways. Your narrowed airways collapse inwards with a loud rasping snore and become dry, sore and swollen. Your body tries to protect the dry and inflamed membranes by over-producing the thick, sticky substance you recognise as catarrh.
Heavy catarrh plus narrowed airways make congestion. A cold, hay fever or other allergy will make that congestion worse and make you snore even more.
Opening your airways eases nasal congestion and relieve snoring
Snoreeze natural ingredients are formulated to ease congestion, relieve the discomfort of dry soreness by helping you breathe freely and easily through open airways.
Natural peppermint extracts, menthols and eucalyptus oils in Snoreeze snoring relief oral strips, nasal and throat sprays reduce inflammation, soothe dry soreness and ease nasal congestion.
Break the vicious circle of nasal congestion and problem snoring. Breathe more easily, rest more easily and snore less with Snoreeze.
It's estimated that 25% of the UK population suffer from hay fever. When you're all bunged up and your eyes are itchy, it's hard to get the sleep you need.
Here are our 5 top tips for making sure you don't lose sleep over hay fever this year.
Pollen is sticky and can stay in your hair until washed out properly. The last thing you want is to get pollen on your pillow and end up having an allergy attack in the middle of the night. Pollen can also stay on your clothes for hours after you have been outside. Shower before bed to remove any pollen from your skin, and get dressed in the bathroom so that pollen from your clothes doesn't contaminate your bedroom.
Vaccuum to remove any pollen that has settled on the floor or in your carpet. Using a damp cloth when you dust will also help to make sure that dust and pollen cling to the cloth, rather than just being spread around. It's tempting to leave your bedroom windows open during the summer, but try to leave them closed during the day when the pollen count is highest.
The summer months are great for being able to get your laundry washed and dried quickly. But hanging your bedding out when the pollen count is high could prove to be a silly mistake. Try drying your bedding on a clothes horse indoors. It takes a little longer, but it should reduce the amount of pollen on the sheets and put an end to your night-time sneezing fits.
Many people believe that eating locally-produced honey can help to reduce hay fever symptoms*. The theory is that the pollen contained in the honey will help to build up your immunity to the allergens around you. And let's face it, even if this method hasn't been fully backed by clinical trials just yet, it's a solution that's tasty to try!
Recent studies show links between certain hay fever medications and conditions such as Alzheimers** - prompting people to turn to more natural remedies as a solution for their runny, blocked noses. Pollen allergies can cause your nasal passages to become inflamed and swollen, making it hard for you to breathe through your nose. As well as making it hard for you to fall asleep, this congestion limits airflow, increasing air turbulence and making you more likely to snore. The natural ingredients in Snoreeze Nasal Spray help to decongest your nasal passages, meaning that you can breathe easily again - and the great news is, it's safe to use every night!

Art Deco locations reference imperialistic ambitions that have determined the role of the 'soldier', and that have led to the racism and violence 'exhibited' in the Abu Ghraib images.

Ryan Scott Rodgers, 36, was last known to have lived in apartment 231 at 1740 Baronne Street, where most of the incidents are reported to have occurred, according to a NOPD news release. He will be charged with sexual battery and seven counts of indecent behavior with juveniles, the report states.
"Rodgers is accused of touching the two teenage boys inappropriately while they were sleeping. Both victims told detectives that they were awakened by Rogers fondling them. The victims told Detective Stephanie Taillon that Rodgers sexually abused them for over a year," the release states. "During the course of the investigation, Detective Taillon learned that Rodgers would buy the male victims underwear and make them pose in front of him."
The report said Rodgers works as a youth minister at "several local churches in Orleans, Jefferson and Plaquemines Parishes," but did not specify which ones.
Investigators "believe Rodgers sexually assaulted other victims during this same time period," the report states, and any additional victims are encouraged to contact Special Victims Unit Detective Stephanie Taillon at (504) 658-5753.

The Old Bali Blog « The Blues have it? Indonesia goes to the polls
In the red corner: Prabowo, a tough ex-Special Forces general with a temper to match.
In the the blue corner: Jokowi, a modest, forward-thinking populist who likes wearing checked shirts.
Today, July 9 2014, is the day Indonesia's 187 million voters go to the polls - at the country's most important political crossroads since the old dictator Suharto was booed off-stage during a bloody People's Revolt in 1998.
On the day, both sides claim victory based on quick poll counts. The real results are out on July 22.
One thing's a sure bet.
Nothing is what it seems in the Republik Mimpi – the Republic of Dreams.

Everything about this says it's not aimed at the Review Corner: we're unlikely to use the word "manor" to describe any place we ever lived and we were never the types to pretend we were from Brixton instead of Congleton, and so unlikely to use the words bloodclart, gyal or dem.
Still, Kano has a lot of offer. He tells a good story, he seems honest in his lyrics and he's not afraid to take risks musically. This is an interesting album, notwithstanding we have no idea what he is talking about in places. Kano plays grime and was voted best newcomer in 2004 at the Urban Music Awards; in 2014, he received the buffest badman-of-the-year award. We have no idea what that means.
Made In The Manor is Kano looking back at his roots and his youth, and how things have changed. Hail opens with rock guitar and a massive beat, and Kano doing a bit of an Eminem impression as he reflects that "They say grime's not popping like it was back then/Rap's not honest like it was back then" and how his stance has meant him not taking off in the States (presumably unlike Dizzee Rascal): "Don't make money but it does make sense", adding: "Crossing that pond and fishing for hits/We both gain from a little influence/But how comes nobody credits us Brits?/This ain't no RP cup of tea music/It's real East End theme music".
There's more reflection in T-Shirt Weather in the Manor, where he harks back to when "Dorothy be up but Jennifer be yawning/Rachel a get her hair braided, I spoil it" as opposed to the more adult experience of "And it could all change in a minute/I've seen innocent summers turn sinister/Tempers flare up, violence is imminent."
This is England sees him give his version of this sceptred isle — "I'm from where Reggie Kray got rich as fuck" and sadness at the American influence: "It's not a hip hop party without a butt twerk/It's not a real rap song without a cuss word."
While most definitely grime throughout, the sound varies from the ultra-sparse (New Banger) to the more melodic. There's a lot of wit too: "I buy the same Mr Whippy 99/But now I've got just as much problems and a flake ain't one".
It may have its flaws but at least he's taking risks, and it's interesting.

try to fix all of the possible cases there is more likely to break things than
it is to help.

The Bible says that our body is the temple of Yahweh. If this is so, I think a lot of people need to search themselves and find out if they are really getting remarried for personal reasons, sexual reasons. If their marriages didn't 'work out' why are they actually getting married again? Do they find it impossible to live alone and do the Father's bidding? Some claim they don't want to be alone.
Alright, look at all the people in the world who need help. Are you really alone, or is it just the selfish cop-out of the 'I' society. "I" need someone, my partner doesn't understand "me", no one understands "me".
In history, there have been marriages (and this is very rare) where sex was never involved. I wondered often if these types of marriages were involved in divorce, from one partner to the next with no one having intercourse with their respective partner, if the marriage issue and divorce issue would be as stringent? No one is going to do this by the way!
For those of you who don't know what the biological aspects of sexual intercourse are, read a biology book. If you don't know what the psychological aspects are, read up on health books or ask a doctor or happily (or maybe unhappily) married couple, if they are willing to share.
I may not be married, but in my opinion, I would never want to remarry if I knew my husband was still on the face of this earth! A piece of me would still be out there. If he died, that piece of me would be dead also. Biologically, I think it is unclean, psychologically, even if you don't have feeling for that person anymore you shared your body (the Father's temple) with them, so it runs deeper than you think.
Over all, I am convinced a lot of people didn't realize what marriage entailed when they got into it. Society (Christian or non Christian) bases so much on marriage and sex, that they leave out the Godly aspect entirely. In fact, some people lives revolve around sex and the sexual. Remember the Bible says, thou shalt have no other God before me.
If you divorce, there is rightfully no more sex for you unless you make up with your spouse, so make up your mind and fill your life with something rewarding and fulfilling!
I have so much interesting things to do for the Father, that I don't feel the absolute need to rush into marriage right now at all. My life involves so much more than thinking about sex, my life involves Yahweh and his will! That covers just about every interesting aspect in this world!
I remember one woman who is now in her 60's said people got married at a young age in her day because their was nothing else to do! Sad, but true!
My advice it to search your heart and life carefully before you get married. Make sure that you get married because you love and like the person. For those of you who are married and have problems, before you so quickly blame your spouse, make sure it is not a case where you simply lack fulfillment in a certain area. Search yourself and make sure you are not at fault. When all else fails, ask The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit for help.
{This is mainly for the Christian Society, but the non-Christian Society can feel free to comment. }

An Overview
By: Ora Wills
Retired Educator
"A new commandment I give you, that you love one another." Thus spoke Jesus of Nazareth. Whether one is Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or some other faith, it might behoove us all to adhere to Christ's words.
We are so divided now, apparently forgetting the fact that we are "One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all." (Is this not what we vow in our Pledge of Allegiance?)
African-Americans have been here since 1619. One, Estevanico, arrived in Pensacola in 1528, shortly before Don Tristan DeLuna landed in 1559. Blacks were later brought to what became America as slaves, beginning in 1619, finally gaining freedom over three hundred years later in the 1960's through civil rights laws.
Today, many Americans are consumed by hatred—conservatives and liberals 'duke it out'; alt-right groups appear; columnists decry what they perceive as attitudes differing from their own; many disgruntled citizens pen nasty letters to the editors of their local papers about those they oppose, and on and on. We go on social media and rant and rave.
In the words of Rodney King, "Can't we just all get along?"
Born in 1935, in the middle of the Great Depression, I lived my first twenty-seven years under Jim Crow, attending and teaching in the segregated schools of Escambia County, sitting in the back of the bus, drinking 'colored water' in the five and dimes, going to the back entrance of the Saenger Theatre, sitting in the balcony reserved for colored folks. Other theatres and businesses in downtown Pensacola refused to serve blacks at all. We were not allowed to eat at lunch counters, and so it was.
Fifty-plus years later, it would seem that we might have resolved the animosities that existed under Jim Crow. Should we still expect white supremacy to reign? We have had a bi-racial president, voted into office by folks from both groups. The statue in the harbor says "send us your dispossessed, longing to be free." Over the years, the races and groups from around the globe have mixed, so why can't we all just love one another and live in harmony?
After schools were integrated in Pensacola in 1969, the year of my daughter's birth, youngsters of that generation, Generation X, seemed more inclined to get along, though there were still some clashes in the schools between blacks and whites. The youngsters who came to our home as friends of my daughter were diverse and they have remained steadfast friends over the years. Millennials are more diverse than other generations have been. Since 1969, schools have re-segregated, especially at the elementary level, here and in other areas across the country. It seems that these cycles happen over time with many whites moving into districts that become predominantly white, and with many blacks living in what becomes low-income occupied areas.
Our just-inaugurated president, Donald J. Trump, is bringing into his administration some who have ties to groups that do not have the interests of all Americans. Having lived under thirteen presidents before Mr. Trump, I am willing to accept him, a Republican, if he and his administration address the needs of all Americans. Doing such things as eliminating such entities as Planned Parenthood and the public schools in the country, among other things, is not acceptable. Let us hope Mr. Trump can keep all of our needs in mind as he goes about governing.

One win, and a lot of fight.
Facing off with feisty Forks at home Monday, the Coupeville Middle School volleyball squads came close, but only netted one victory in four matches — and that was an unofficial "win."
8th grade varsity:
A titanic battle and the closest match of the afternoon.
Other than a poor end to the opening set, Coupeville waged war with Forks point for point, losing by the narrowest of margins at 25-16, 21-25, 25-23.
The hero was the young woman with the loudest fan club, one Abby Mulholland.
Her serves provided 13 of Coupeville's 48 points over the course of the final two sets, including a run of nine straight winners which completely turned the match around in the middle set.
Mulholland's first run at the service stripe came midway through the second set, with CMS trailing 10-7 and down a set.
As her fan club, led by a boisterous Moose Moran and Lyle Wells, hooted and hollered, she dropped an ace in front of a diving Forks player on her first serve, and the spark was lit.
Mulholland continued to pepper the Spartans, with two more aces and several balls returned straight backwards, then she got some help from Audrianna Shaw.
Stalking the net, she twice found the perfect tip, dropping balls between defenders for crucial points.
The first came on a ball where Shaw reached back over her head, while the second was a classic elevate and put the ball away moment.
The duo were back at it when it came time to close out the set in favor of Coupeville.
Angelina Gebhard whacked a winner off a Forks player's arm to push CMS ahead 22-21, then Mulholland returned to the service stripe.
Firing off three more winners to seal the deal, she got an assist from Shaw, who nailed a nice bump for a winner on the set-clincher.
The third and deciding set was a war of attrition, with the teams trading the lead down the stretch.
At one point, Jaelynn Crebbin made a sweet save on a ball which looked like a sure-thing Forks winner, diving and popping the ball up into the air where Mulholland dropped the hammer with a skillful poke.
Coupeville was up by as many as three points, then down by four, before putting together a rally started by Kylie Van Velkinburgh dropping a winner into a microscopic gap.
The two squads were tied seven times in the final set, including as late as 23-23.
It wasn't to be, though, as errors at the very end tripped up CMS — a tip which caught net and refused to get up and over and miscommunication between teammates which let the final ball drop in.
The opening set, which featured strong serving from Izzy Wells, was very similar to the final set.
There were seven ties, but then at 16-16, things fell apart for Coupeville as a very-effective Forks server went on a nine-point tear to close things out.
8th grade JV:
OK, while I was in the gym for both 8th grade matches, I quickly lost track of things during this one while busy interacting with the future of Wolf sports, irrepressible two-year-old Maysen Van Velkinburgh.
Turns out what I missed was CMS winning the first set 27-25, then getting a forfeit in the second set while trailing 13-7. Forks had to flee to the ferry, handing the Wolves the victory.
What I did see was some strong serving from Ella Colwell, Chloe LaRue and Morgan Stevens and big hustle from Lita Woolett, Anya Leavell and Samantha Streitler.
Other than that … next match I will be more alert.
Unless Maysen is doing back handsprings or wants to spend more time nibbling on my notebook. Then I can't promise anything.
7th grade varsity:
Coupeville captured the first set 25-20, then fell 25-12 and 25-18 in the next two.
The Wolves opened strongly at the service stripe — Harlee Ausman was 9-of-10 and Kaielle Bepler 4-of-4 in the opening set — but tailed off quickly after that.
"Our serving in the second two sets wasn't so good," said CMS coach Sarah Lyngra. "Receiving was also an area which needs work, but we were able to get eight three-hits a side during the last set.
"We are recording the times we get three hits a side as something to work toward improving over the course of the season."
7th grade JV:
Beaten at the service stripe, the Wolves absorbed a 25-11, 25-17, 25-15 loss.
"It was a server's battle and our serves weren't making the grade," Lyngra said.
Coupeville, which hit on 69% of its serves in its last match, skidded to just 21% Monday, and that was a killer.
Lyngra offered praise to Maya Lucero, who was a perfect 4-for-4 on serve in the first set, and Brynn Schmid, who delivered some "nice passing."

Soviet Russia, Fall 2001
Week 2 Linked Documents Assignment
This assignment has three parts. Do all three!
You will find three documents linked to this page: Vladimir Lenin
"On the Two Lines in the Revolution"
(at http://www.marx2mao.org//Lenin/TLR15.html);
The Abdication of Nikolai
II, March 15, 1917
(at http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dml0www/abdicatn.html); and The First Provisional Government (at http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dml0www/provgov1.html).
Go to Part One Part Two Part Three
I) Lenin's essay "On the Two Lines in the Revolution" was first published in the journal Sotsial-Demokrat in Fall 1915, during the First World War. Lenin was responding to the positions taken during the war by G. Plekhanov (a founder of Russian Marxism, who had sided with the Mensheviks when the RSDLP split into factions, and who argued that Russian socialists must support the government's "just" war against German militarism).
Question: In 1915, what did Lenin think of the "traditional" Russian marxist view that the revolution would be based upon a liberal-socialist alliance (a worker/peasant-middle class coalition), which would end tsarism and create a democratic capitalist regime, and that the socialist revolution could only come later (after liberal capitalism had developed more fully and its contradictions were clear)? Explain Lenin's argument and the evidence/example that he presented.
Link to the document: Vladimir Lenin "On the Two Lines in the Revolution" (at http://www.marx2mao.org//Lenin/TLR15.html)
II) On 2 March 1917 (Old Style--15 March using the "new" calendar), Tsar Nicholas II abdicated. This document is his abdication decree, followed by the 3/16 March 1917 declaration by his brother, Grand Duke Mikhail (Michael)..
Questions: How did Nicholas justify his decision to abdicate power and to whom did he pass power? How did Mikhail justify his decision not to assume power?
Link to the
document: The
Abdication of Nikolai II, March 15, 1917
(at http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dml0www/abdicatn.html)
III) The document here entitled "The First Provisional Government" is actually new government's first "decree," announcing its formation. It was published in the newspaper of the Petrograd Soviet, Izvestiia, on 3 March 1917 (OS, 15 March by the new calendar).
Questions: How did the new government describe the overthrown Tsarist regime? On the basis of what authority did the new government claim to be legitimate? What political parties were represented in the new government? What immediate aims did the new government pronounce, and in what ways did these represent its need to secure support from the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies?
Link to document: The First Provisional Government (at http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dml0www/provgov1.html).

Review of Fem Wrestling Rooms – Andie's Initiation – 10.5 mins
She's not a very talkative girl but that's because Andie's first time in the wrestling ring brings her face to face with Becca and Peyton. Our resident wrestlers don't like new girls so they bully poor Andie, who knows absolutely nothing about pro wrestling. The two bad girls proceed to double team the shocked and stunned visitor by slamming her head into all four turnbuckles, working over her belly in the corner, giving her body splashes, then flipping her down to the mat for some uncomfortable domination! Andie is destroyed with scissors, leg locks, a Boston crab, camel clutch, fireman's carries, and a final DOUBLE knockout stunner! In the end the trash talking beauties from FWR pose pretty over the unconscious girl and leave her lying in the ring all alone! We hope Andie will return someday … hopefully to get even!
I had no idea that Andie Perez was going to be visiting FWR, so this video came as a complete surprise to me, but it is very cool to see Andie in the FWR ring. Unfortunately for Andie, the welcoming committed is headed by Peyton and Becca and they're nowhere near as trilled as I am to see Andie at FWR. I've claimed many and a many of times how great the vids with Becca vs Peyton, but when the team up these two beauties are pure evil and a feel bad for anyone who as to take them both on, unless you're some powerhouse that can show them their bark is louder than their bite, however that is not the case for poor Andie Perez as she gets completely flattened by FWR's top two, in my opinion. Andie must be getting used to these unfair matches as she has been double teamed twice at SKW already, then head almost completely across the county just to get double teamed again. I'm not getting tired of seeing it as she packed her selling skills for the long trip and continues to be a great jobber. Rick may have hinted and Andie getting some revenge and I can say now I would love that, especially if she somehow manages to take them both down at the same time. Or if now, two one on one payback matches is still something I would certainly be looking forward to. Don't tease me Rick! Make it happen!
Overall Score: 9/10

The founder of the collection was Count Gustav Adolf von Ingenheim (1789-1855), a stepbrother of the Prussian king Frederic William III. In the second decade of the 19th century, due to his artistic interests he was sent by the monarch to Italy to purchase works of art for the museums that were just being formed in Berlinon the king's order. At that same time the count commenced compiling his own collection. In his residences in Berlin and Rome the count ran an artistic salon of sorts, frequented by artists such as Bertel Thorvaldsen, Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Christian Daniel Rauch. Converting to catholicism in 1826, against the king's explicit request, resulted in count von Ingenheim's banishment from Prussia and severy limited his financial means for following his collector's passion. The collection created by Ingenheim were moved to Silesia over 2 decades after his death. His ashes were moved and buried in the chapel erected close to the family palace in Reisewitz (today's Rysiowice) near Neisse (Nysa).
The collection put together by Ingenheim counted over 140 paintings, 130 of which were moved to Silesia (including the works by such remarkable Italian artists as Fra Angelico, Masolino da Panicale, Giovanni Bellini and Sandro Botticelli). Largely represented were the Italian 'primitives', including Taddeo Gaddi and Bernardo Daddi. An important part of the collection was formed by contemporary paintings, some of them commissioned by the collector directly to the artists (e.g. the landscape by Martin von Rohden). The count amassed also over 180 antiquities, 3/4 of which were moved to the palace in Reisewitz.

The new PopeIt is time for a return to tradition in the Catholic Church, and I see that the Chamberlain of the Vatican has started on the way by calling out the Pope's baptismal name three times to make sure he has popped his eternal clogs before smashing the fisherman's ring and papal seal to make sure no-one pretends to be John Paul II .Evidently, Fox News has secured the balcony with the prime view for the puff of white smoke that will announce that a new Pope has been elected.
These traditions should be upheld not because they are traditions but because they are vital to the security and transparency of the Papacy. These traditions have been crafted over the centuries and work without doing any harm. They must be upheld; what right does one generation have to strike the progress of so many preceeding Pontificates? I therefore demand, following millenia-old tradition, that on the new Pope's announcement, he sit on a commode and the Chamberlain of the Vatican grasp his testicles to make sure the new Pope is not a woman. Maybe Fox will pay for a prime view from beneath of what can only be called the Holy Handshake?
Who should be the new Pope? I offer a few candidates.
Michael Jackson
Satisfies the people who want a black Pope and the people who want a white Pope all at once!
Added bonus: already knows about kiddie fiddling.
The Dalai Lama
An authoritarian, feudal religious leader widely seen as being a man of peace and reconciliation - perfect!
Hulk Hogan
What the Catholic church needs is a Pope in spandex... he'll beat the unbelievers into shape and attract lots of Americans to the fold... too much growth among, er, the wrong sort of people...
Dr Who
It'd make it amusing when it came time for the doctor to regenerate... no, I am the Doctor. Sorry, Pope.

The Old City, is a part of Jerusalem capital city of Israel. Until the mid of 1800's, the entire city was called Jerusalem during the reign of King David. However, the city has started growing, and it goes beyond the walls till today when it has been considered to be the largest cities in Israel in the present time. The Old Jerusalem is one of the most sacred places to the three major monotheistic religions – Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Pilgrims from different parts of the world visit the city of Jerusalem continuously as an important part of the trip to the holyland and they visit some of the special sites, such as the Western Wall and the Temple Mount for Jews, the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock for the Moslems and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher for the Christians.
Old Jerusalem reunited to the main city during the time of the Six Day War in the year 1967. Since then, all the famous places of their worship have been open to the visitors without considering any distinction of religion or race. Pilgrims have been flocking Old Jerusalem from all four corners of the world to visit the Holy sites. One can access to Old Jerusalem through a number of gates. The gates to the old city include the Jaffa Gate, the New Gate, Damascus, Herod's Gate, St. Stephen's Gate, Golden Gate, Zion Gate and Dung Gate.
Important sites in Old Jerusalem, include Al Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of Rock, the Noble Sanctuary, the Museum of Islamic Art, Western Wall Jerusalem, Western Wall Tunnels, Hurva Square, The Broad Wall, World Archaeological Museum, Ophel Archaeological Museum, Saint Mary's Hospice, The Cardo, Citadel, The Suq El Attaria and Ramparts Walk.
Old Jerusalem also offers an amazing spiritual experience. While visiting the Old City for the very first time, the spiritual experience would be incredible. Visitors often say that the experience is simply incomparable to any of the visits or travels to some other places in any part of this world. The Holiness of jerusalem city is an amazing sensation, and while walking through the narrow streets, people can experience the view of the streets and also experience the characteristic godliness of the Holy City. Over all these years, Old Jerusalem has undergone a lot of changes. However, that has not affected the culture and the tradition of the city, which have been its most prominent focal point and the reason for which visitors want to tour Israel

IT improvements chart a course for success in the GCC
GCC leaders embark on aggressive ICT projeccts but authorities need to consider better management of costs
Ask the leader of any forward-thinking enterprise what he or she thinks is going to fuel the most change in his or her company over the next ten years, and chances are the answer will lie in the lightning-quick development of technology. This realisation is not limited to the commercial world; more and more government bodies are seeking to streamline their operations while expanding their services with the help of IT.
Here in the GCC, the federal government of the United Arab Emirates has recently undergone a major technological overhaul that charts a clear course of success not only for the country but for other governments in the region.
eProject portal is the UAE government's major IT development intended to link together its IT infrastructure at a federal level. The new system is set to integrate the government's IT systems at all levels, while maintaining the strict confidentiality of any data it holds.
The new fully managed system allows both internal and external end-users to perform tasks more effectively than previously, while also ensuring the protection of sensitive data. It has also made it easier for residents and citizens to access information on government services, as well as receive answers to their enquiries.
One of the first departments within the Ministry of Public Works to benefit has been Housing and Urban Planning. "We needed to ensure that a number of key business requirements were met when working on a hosted model," explained the department's executive director, Zahara Al Aboodi. "[These requirements included] E-services with transaction logs and records that remained fully auditable, an internal process that was streamlined to reduce operational overhead costs, a platform that was in line with the UAE's transformation vision, and a system that could be easily accessed by even the less savvy IT end-users.
"We are extremely pleased with the design, implementation, and the on-going management of the overall solution. Our requirements to access sensitive data with a framework having the highest levels of security were completely understood. Thanks to a trusted local service provider, a 24-hour service desk can ensure our queries are resolved quickly and to our level of satisfaction."
The fully managed hosted environment running this system for the federal government required the highest levels of monitoring and managed security. Through systematically executed information security measures, the federal government's IT infrastructure was successfuly implemented, thereby allowing end-users to access a system that was highly reliable and available.
Looking outside of the UAE, analyst house Gartner cautions that the path to greater IT development in the GCC requires a number of 'radical' steps that governments need to aggressively introduce in order to increase the cost efficiency of managing their IT networks.
Its suggestions include introducing public cloud services and allowing staff to work remotely; by looking at ways of reducing IT expenditure now, while governments still had the ability to look carefully at their options, they could avoid a slash and burn approach further down the line.
"Government organisations in most of the Western world have already gone through one or two cost-cutting cycles during the past few years," said Andrea Di Maio, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.
It also advised governments to cancel high-risk, high-profile programmes, as well as those citizen facing channels that were proving ineffective, and instead focus on linking interoperability frameworks in order to reap the cost synergies brought by the approach.
"The aftermath of the most recent global financial crisis, the sluggish recovery in some countries and the significant levels of debt require continued and increasing cost-containment discipline and are forcing government organisations to explore new avenues of cost reduction," Di Maio added.

The all-male company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo brings its unique and playful dance style to Diana Wortham Theatre (DWT) for the first time on Tuesday, February 13, and Wednesday, February 14, at 8 p.m. The troupe, affectionately referred to as The Trocks, has achieved international acclaim for its combination of polished parody and technical expertise.
"DWT is proud to offer world-class dance programming that defies conventional barriers and takes patrons to new heights," says the theatre's managing director Rae Geoffrey. "Our audiences rarely have the opportunity to experience a pure ballet company on the Mainstage Series, let alone an all-male company that dances en pointe!"
The evening highlights a range of ballet styles, including Russian, French, neoclassical and modern. First, The Trocks will perform their signature work, Le Lac des Cygnes (Swan Lake, Act II), followed by a pas de deux or modern work to be announced, then Go for Barocco, with the music of J.S. Bach. Paquita, with music by Ludwig Minkus, brings the program to a close.
"In addition to our satire, all dancers in the company are classically trained and perform at a very high skill level," says The Trocks' artistic director Tory Dobrin. "So, on top of a fun show you also get a great ballet performance."
Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo was founded in 1974 by a group of dance enthusiasts for the purpose of presenting a lively, entertaining view of traditional, classical ballet in parody form and en travesti (disguised as the opposite sex). The company first performed in late shows in Off-Off Broadway lofts and quickly garnered a major critical essay in The New Yorker, as well as reviews in The New York Times and The Village Voice that established it as an artistic and popular success. By mid-1975, publications, including Variety, Oui, The London Daily Telegraph and Vogue, made the company nationally and internationally known.
Since then, The Trocks have appeared in more than 34 countries and more than 600 cities worldwide, including seasons at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and the Chatalet Theater in Paris. They have made many television appearances and received numerous awards. Rebels on Pointe, a documentary film celebrating the legendary troupe, was released in 2017.
Diana Wortham Theatre is located at 18 Biltmore Avenue in Asheville. Tickets are $45, $40 for students and $20 for children 12 and under. Student rush day-ofshow tickets are $10. For more information, visit dwtheatre.com. Tickets can be purchased at dwtheatre.com or by calling 828.257.4530.

Also, I added a few new items into the shop today. I'm working on some gadget sleeves for your iPhones, iTouch, and what not. I added 2 of them into the shop earlier today. There's one for a 15" laptop sleeve too. I also added the first couple set of quilted coasters (like the one from my giveaway). There's also a couple new pouches and tomorrow I'll be adding a new bag.
Two new items in my favorites:
My Life Rocks by printliberation.
I would rock this so hard. Print Liberation has a bunch of awesome.
Threads by MoxieMadness
I love all these sewing inspired shirts from Moxie Madness. They also have patches!
Okay, gotta go! I have a custom order to finish and not to mention, me and Nate are trying to watch Garden State and I'm getting really into it.

The aim of this activity is to introduce the students to some of the practical and conceptual difficulties involved in transforming dream into reality and creating one society for all.
• We suggest closing the activity by summarizing the discussion and relating it to the room in Beit Hatfutzot, mentioning some of the questions and thoughts that the room (and hopefully the exercise) provokes. Please note: students should hold on to their 'diary entries' for their characters. They will be used again in another exercise a few pages on.

Tunnels and trawls - William Dear's 'The Dungeon Master'
Hello, and a happy new year!
Over the Summer break I've been reading The Dungeon Master William Dear's recount of the James Dallas Egbert case. In fact, I read the book in two days around other activities, as it was so engrossing. I previously covered the book and its effect here, and Shaun Hatley provides a summary and commentary on the book and the story behind it, including a fascinating contemporary snippet from Dragon magazine here. Consider yourself informed!
Now, I found the book at a local refuse recyclers shop - Trash Palace, of all places. Seemingly a fantasy/SF reader was having a tip-out, but this is the only title that really got my attention, amid the Silverbergs, Asimovs and, er, Brookses ( they're going to be filming Shannarah in NZ! Eek!) I read it quickly, thanks to a plane trip and a few hours to kill travelling; it helps too that it's quite readable.
Dear is an informal and engaging writer, somewhat prone to self-promotion but sympathetic to the object of his investigation, and well he might be. Dallas Egbert, as hindsight reveals, was not only a troubled soul but caught in a time when the best care was not available, and his tragic disappearance – as sensational as it seemed (and reads in Dear's version) should be viewed as a remarkable episode in a short and unhappy life. The author make repeated points in retrospect about the lack of care Dallas received as both a very young student and a gifted individual with issues around his identity, the people around him and his well-being. Dear's claim that Dallas simply wasn't being protected by his university seems to go straight to the heart of the boy's disappearance, and at least some way towards his ultimate fate, but the book concerns itself less with Dallas as a known individual, and relies more on the young man as a mystery in himself, which, given its retrospective nature, doesn't help things. Dear is the writer and the protagonist of his own memoirs, and we never escape the fact that this is being written with the breathless energy of a missing persons case file first and foremost.
There is, nevertheless a concerted paternalism in his attitude towards Dallas, which book-ends the investigation itself during which Dear goes 'method' – living close to campus (although a more youthful colleague goes one better, it's insinuated), experimenting with some of the troubled Dallas' extracurricular pursuits, including 'tresselling' (an eye-opening chapter in which the detective lies in front of an oncoming train aping the boy's occasional habit), and of course roleplaying in a session that, with its close parallels to features and the geography of the case seems questionable in its authenticity, if not unintentionally amusing in places. And then there are the steam tunnels – oh, those steam tunnels.
Dear skips the homosexual liaisons and drug taking, however, virtually sub-contracting these areas to a couple of individuals outside his firm – surprisingly, this bears more fruit than Dear's meanderings, alongside an odd game of cat-and-mouse which ultimately leads to the 'discovery' of the boy. It's a strange case – no wonder the more sensational parts contributed to the Satanic Panic of the early Eighties, and proved so ripe for adaptation by the schlockier end of writing at the time. Dear's version of events cuts to the case for the most part, but the author's attempts to mingle Dallas' motivations with the then still-recent phenomenon of D&D paint him as not only a fish out of water, but an over-thinker. And something of a self-promoter: you may well roll your eyes at reading about his stellar career, his expansive mansion, his impressive case history and uncanny human touch; you may also wish to avert your eyes at Dear's more recent forays into revisiting old and sensational crimes.
Still, despite itself, it is a human story, and an affecting one for its being based on real events. Ruefully, I admit that even without the hokey RPG session and larger-than-life Texan detective protagonist, played straight the book would make for a diverting documentary or film . Apparently, the options were recently purchased, so who knows?
Recommended, with slight reservations!

One year ago today I was in the hospital awaiting the arrival of my daughter. At this point I was realizing the induction might not go as quickly as we hoped. It lasted 40 hours and failed so I had a C-section. Then I struggled to feed my daughter initially. She became dehydrated, losing 11% of her body weight, dipping to below 5 pounds, in the first 2 days. Without any milk yet, I was forced to feed her a tiny amount of formula, for which I have no regrets as she really needed it. Feeding my daughter those few spoonfuls of formula was the first on a long list of things I thought I would never do as a parent.
My research area is the study of X-ray binary populations in galaxies. I'm a tenured astrophysicist at NASA and have been involved with a variety of NASA missions. As you might imagine, I was not thinking about X-ray binaries, X-ray instruments on NASA missions or anything like that during the time described above. Maternity leave really isn't like any other leave I have ever taken. One of my senior female colleagues told me to be gentle with myself and now I can see what she meant. It took some months for me to return to any semblance of the productivity I had before and to enjoy my work again like I did before.
My daughter has now grown to 18 pounds and still nurses regularly. She is starting to walk, she waves at us, says "uh oh" and "bye bye" and does many amazing things. A decent fraction of the time I still can't believe she exists.
I have been in a bit of a groove as of late in that I work on research all morning, dash over to nurse her (what a nice break to hang out with her now!) and then return to work in the afternoon. I also have a nice new motivational tool: I ask myself if the work I am doing is worth not being around my daughter (of course when I ask myself that I am thinking of her in her cheerful state!). I find that this helps me get back to data analysis and writing more quickly.
I also have started asking for help more. Thankfully I knew to ask for help with nursing. Many people told me to join La Leche League and I am very glad that I started going before my daughter was born. I knew many people struggled at the beginning with nursing.
With the rest of the "baby stuff" (besides nursing) and with my research I made the mistake of not asking for help. My husband and I were alone for most of the first 3 weeks of our daughter's life, when I was recovering from the surgery and she needed to nurse around the clock. We needed help then and we had friends who would have helped us but we waited before we told them. Then the casseroles arrived en masse, people had been trying not to bother us, waiting for something to do.
Months later I was wondering how I was going to get my research back on track when I felt so exhausted. I had this epiphany: I would ask the postdocs for help! It is not easy when you're supposedly a tenured scientist "at my level" to ask for help. One of my male colleagues reminded me that what I was describing was what many people just refer to as collaboration. I felt strange asking younger scientists for help, but it was just fine when I did. Information was shared and the project moved along much faster. I felt better about it too.
So I guess that is one major thing I learned (or remembered?) this year. ASK FOR HELP. Plenty of us are going to chip in and help you.

Iterating at Light Speed with Cordova/PhoneGap
I have a love & hate relationship with hybrid web apps. I have some experience in building apps using Cordova/PhoneGap, and I covered some of the pros and cons in a previous post about Well.ca's virtual store app. Despite the numerous deficiencies when building a mobile app using web technology, it turned out to be one of the right decisions we made for my start-up AvidTap.
It's not that we don't have expertise to build native apps or don't want to. I also happen to have experience building native apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. However, at the company's infancy there's such limited resources that we don't want to delay getting to our MVP. Both Facebook and LinkedIn tried HTML5 and reverted back to making native apps, and I think for getting the absolute best experience that's the right thing to do. However, for AvidTap at this stage hybrid is a better choice.
Rapid Iteration with Over-The-Air Updates
For our app, I built an update system that allows AvidTap push out delta updates to any user. The update system allows the server to inform clients when there is a new version and allows us to actually do A/B testing in the app. We're constantly working on the app and pushing out tweaks 2 to 3 times a week.
Being able to do OTA updates means that we can test out our hypothesis rapidly. If we have a question that needs to be answered, we can quickly implement and gather the information we need to make decisions on. Being able to push out OTA update also means that we can fix issues faster. As an example, we recently deployed AvidTap along with our patent-pending box at Superfood Eateries. Once we put the product out there and saw people using it, we quickly realized that the code selection list UI we implemented was confusing even though it was meant to help. We were able to quickly push out an update that fixed the usability in a day.
