en | N/A | N/A | When Holy Week was approaching and before that, they were sweeping the houses, the yards, and the whole village. Because, during the whole of Holy Week, they did NOT do any work. The androgynes avoided quarrels and frictions. While the mothers were careful how they talked to the children so that they were tempted by "evil".
On Holy Thursday morning, the Pontians started fasting for the church in order to receive communion. The housewives did not waste a minute on the way back. They had a lot to do, starting with the general "escape". That is, the cleaning of all the crumbs of the house so that during the Resurrection everything is clean and shiny.
After the skipping, it was time to paint the eggs. The eggs were painted with onion leaves. They took onion skins and tulle from the chocolates and cut them so that they could tie the eggs. Then they covered the eggs with onion leaves and put them to boil in vinegar and water.
Painted eggs were also taken to the church, in baskets, in order to be read. In order not to confuse the baskets of the families of the village, on each basket they sewed a cloth, on which was written the name of the family.
The baskets were placed under the Holy Table so that the priest could "bless the ova", bless the eggs. The baskets with the eggs were taken after the Resurrection. The egg of the Virgin Mary and the house were kept until the next Resurrection, kept in the iconostasi, (where a house keeps the items of their faith). Unless the sea made a big storm, so they threw them into the sea to calm it down!
They also put small canvas bags in the egg baskets. With wheat, corn, beans, pumpkin seeds, flour, yeast, and salt to read. The read seeds were mixed with other unread seeds, for the sake of production! The flour was thrown in the barn for a blessing.
Also on Holy Thursday they kneaded the bread and made the tsoureki.
On the night of the Resurrection, all night long, they were up. After 2.00 am, with the first roar of the rooster, the whole village went to church. Before dawn, the Resurrection came out. The litourgia took place after 4.00 am.
On Easter Sunday the cafes were closed. Everyone was out of the house, "crushing" eggs, a custom in which one hits the other ones egg. The adults, in groups of 3-4 people, went from house to house, together with a lyre. They danced and cracked eggs.
After the Second Resurrection, the visits began. The housewives offered the guests raki with meze "fustoron", cheese, etc. The visits continued until the evening. In some places the custom of Judas was common. The relevant model was burned after the second Resurrection.
On Easter Monday, dances and feasts were held in the threshing floors or in open spaces. There, accompanied by the Pontian lyre, they danced and sang all day.
The three days of Lambri in Pontos were called "Lambroimera".

en | N/A | N/A | A history of bitter blood and tears to establish a recruitment system for Giftpack interns.
Mar 30th 2021 • 12 min read
This is the first article about Giftpack HR, and also the most important milestone for me as it documents the mistakes that we made, and how we have a fantastic team to continue this journey at Giftpack.
It’s been three years and 11 months since Giftpack was founded, and our interns have been heavily involved with the whole project ever since. In 2017, our team had only five people when the product was not even launched yet. We were engineers (3) and designers (2) based in San Francisco and Taiwan. That’s a brand new start for an understanding of HR.
From the beginning, Giftpack finds unicorn startup culture fascinating, so we created a unique name for the interns who are going to work with us: Giftern.
Giftern = Giftpack + Intern
It proves that the name created a sense of belonging and brought our team closer, as we had imagined.
We need to hire Gifterns who locate in the US, Taiwan, and the cities we have the operation in.
As a super tiny startup which didn’t have an officially launched product yet, we only had a few simple requirements for our first batch:
Passionate about the product we are building.
Willing to grow with us instead of complaining about what we are short of.
Able to work remotely ( we didn’t have an office back then ).
Willing to intern for five months.
Vice versa, the interns could ask from us:
Will be able to learn something new via the education training which was designed by ourselves.
Will I always believe that when someone gives you his / her time, it is an act of trust and we will be responsible for their time and future career paths in our recruitment advert.
There were four vacancies in 2017 —
Frontend Engineer (2)
By exposing Giftpack on multiple recruitment platforms in the US and Taiwan, an unknown company like us received 44 resumes in 2 months. However, unfortunately, we weren’t able to recruit anyone who wasn’t located in Taiwan. It’s not a huge number, but it was a good start for us as we didn’t spend a dime on recruiting.
The recruiting process in 2017 was simple (interview in Chinese):
Confirmation of job offer ( or rejection )
Send out offer letter and rejection letter (we insisted that each candidate would receive one of them)
In our first round, we learned a few things:
).
Without a professional skill test, you won’t be able to tell one’s ability.
If you insist on announcing the job offers on a specific date, it’s very likely that you will let the outstanding candidates slip away.
Train your team for interview skills and find candidates who are capable of doing the job we are asking for.
Just give up decisively on the candidates who have no passion or only have a sheer understanding of our product.
For an inexperienced team like us, we only had one goal at that time —
Get the people who get along with us to work.
We were very lucky to meet four passionate individuals, and after they finished their 5-month program, one of them became our full-time employee.
However, when we looked back, there were a few mistakes that we made:
1/ The training program took too long so that the Gifterns didn’t get involved with the core business that much. It affected their sense of accomplishment and caused them to feel less attached to the company.
2/ It is easy to neglect interns’ work progress and emotional state when you are too busy with other stuff.
3/ No performance review system. It was a very loose standard to define whether they did a good or not. We only evaluate if they were doing better than the day before. It was hard to balance between productivity and a friendly work environment.
4/ The internship wrapped up hastily. There was no ceremony or celebration to make a milestone for both of us. Just another regular day. It was fairly irresponsible of us.
All of these things may seem petty, but when we continued our journey, they occurred to us even more.
p.s. We sent all Gifterns who finished their program to “Hacker House” in San Francisco for two months to have the full experience of the Bay area and Silicone Valley. Moreover, each Giftern was given a souvenir from us. Thanks to Bruce Chen ( CEO of INSTO ) for his generous sponsorship and helped a Taiwanese Startup to broaden its horizon.
The time flew to 2018, which is a year we exchanged blood and tears for a vast transformation.
The Gifterns in 2017 had quite a happy ending — all of them visited the US and learned so much from the trip. Some of them even wrote about their experiences. It seemed like we did a pretty good job, but that mindset caused a series of unbearable failure later.
There were six vacancies in 2018:
Operation（2）
Business Developer（2）
The recruitment process was similar to last year, we also started interviewing candidates in English randomly.
Chat with the employees
Send out job offAt that time, I didn’t realize the consequences of not spending the time to establish a management system at work. Meanwhile, our product was officially launched, and the marketing was pretty successful. We became more well-known in Taiwan, and our company received more than a hundred applications from 6 different countries within a month, but still, they were all Taiwanese who live abroad.
To make it more efficient, we started to use Calendly and required all emails to be written in English. It helped us to select candidates who were comfortable with technology and relatively fluent in English.
Under the circumstances, our team was thrilled to see so many impressive resumes from overseas students. We initially only needed six interns, but ending up hiring 12, and the team started to work in different countries.
With a barely-existing system and the manager teams, recruiting too many people is a huge mistake, especially for the interns who didn’t have a clear idea of their job duties. They need leaders.
Because of the lack of time and too much workload, we didn’t have the energy to improve our original recruitment process and training program. Instead, we just went with the flow and changed bit by bit while continuing to run our business. Most of the Gifterns understood that a startup is not very structured, and many components of a company are not established thoroughly. But a few of them still felt it was not professional or even respectful because of that. The more brilliant an intern was, the more they felt that way.
We didn’t have much time to check with each Giftern’s state of mind. Whether we could find a way out or not, there was no full-time employee who can take over my management role and that’s why things went downhill. We learned from mistakes and consequences:
Not checking with each person’s state of mind and work attitude regularly. I am not saying that you have to be their nanny, but Gifterns are not as mature as full-time employees. So they need to be led and assigned to specific tasks that they feel belonged to our company. Otherwise, we are just a collection of individuals who are not on the same page. Ideally, I thought each person would be talented enough to find their position and push the company forward. I overestimated the job requirement.
Working in different cities and remotely requires more cooperation, and it takes more responsibilities than working in the office. Otherwise, it will become the best excuse to avoid messages and calls. A startup that doesn’t have a punishment system also provides the employees with a perfect excuse.
When there are more people in a team but with insufficient management roles and protocols, gossip and cliques are almost inevitable. The leader who doesn’t communicate and deliver the vision of the company will cause significant harm. There is no way to rule out many of the doubts that may be in the team’s mind, everyone speaks their own words, and you never know what is going on underneath.
? “ It traumatized the managers and also caused their early leaving because of the frustration and incompetent.
Moreover, allowing Gifterns to have contact with investors is possibly the best and the worst decision that I have ever made. As an entrepreneur, all I had is the vision of the product and service in 10–20 years in my mind. I believe investors have their preferable directions, so the a perfect fit for each other.
After hearing the investors’ comments, Gifterns who did not have a bigger picture of our company or 100% trust our vision can quickly lose their confidence and got distracted by the “comments”. Meanwhile, if the leader cannot keep delivering the core value and direction of the company, the collapse of the team is unavoidable. On the other hand, if you look at the positive side, some Gifterns truly believed our visions and turned those negative comments into valuable actions to help the company’s growth. It also broadened the entrepreneurs’ horizon.
The not-so-well-developed training program once again hurt their sense of belonging and accomplishment. Everyone started with infinite passion and expectation. That’s why defining milestones is such an important job that an entrepreneur should care about. If each department cannot make time for designing its training program, treating all Gifterns equally will make them unable to learn relevant skills and cripple their enthusiastic attitude.
“Hey boss, I think the company can run well whether I stay or not, I don’t feel like I matter here, so it doesn’t matter if I leave. “
After a series of shocks, quite a number of them decided to leave earlier than promised. Even the full-employees were affected as the atmosphere at work became destructive. Also, the team spirit, which we were very proud of, was ruined.
When I was holding graduation gifts for each of them — engraved wooden luggage tags with their names and the Giftpack email addresses on them. I had a very complicated feeling.
That was a hard lesson for me, and it took me months to figure out what’s going on. Then we decided to put tremendous effort into improving our recruitment process.
Improvement after a painful lesson
A company has two gears; one is the profitability; another is the talents. Startups usually focus the former much more than the latter. but the latter will help your company overcome the problem when it stucks. So even it runs slowly, you still have to make it run.
Four vacancies in 2019 —
This time we made some significant changes:
1/ Branding and establishing a system
We finished our first edition of ***Gifter Onboarding Handbook, ***which explains all of our work protocols in this, including requesting a day off, claiming expenses, employee benefits, accounting Giftpack culture, etc.
We finished our first edition of Gifter Recruiting Handbook, which delivers the understanding to the candidates of the entire recruiting process, the company’s vision, and the other things that they need to keep in mind. It increased the trust, sense of ritual, transparency, and respect between the candidates and Giftpack. It also helps us to filter the candidates that are not suitable for us.
Lastly, we finished our first edition of Offline Handbook, which talks about the procedure of leaving the job. It helps us to get rid of many troubles, such as handover when someone leaves.
2/ Rebuild Interview and Operation Rules
All of our recruitment info has rewritten in English, and the English-speaking interview has been mandatory ever since:
Received resumes via a well-designed Typeform.
Resume review, send Recruiting Handbook, as well as an invitation for an interview via Calendly.
Chat with the CEO about interests and personality fits.
Professional skill screening (each position has its customized test, and there are individual and group tests too)
Brunch with the team (having lunch with the team for an hour to learn each other’s similarities)
Send job offer and rejection letters (each candidate will receive one of them). When we spot a suitable candidate, we will offer him/ her the job earlier. All candidates who reached stage 5 but didn’t get the offer will receive a feedback report too.
Send the employment contract online and use eSign to complete the recruitment process. The Gifterns will get the official job offer letter as well.
Gifterns will go onboard via another well-designed Typeform
The online orientation which explains our management system and sends the Employee Handbook
At the same time, we also tried to design an operation and performance appraisal system and have the team spirit. We offered more emotional support in 2019 to test its effectiveness, and we continued to establish a more robust system.
After reforming the recruitment process, we received more than a hundred resumes all over the world within a month, and it showed the significant result of an English-written recruitment advert, which was another achievement. We ended up recruiting two Taiwanese, a German, an American, and a Canadian.
The talent market always very competitive, and the slow decision making cost us not being responsive enough and lost some of the outstanding candidates, but overall it went pretty well. From that time, we started to speak in English only in team meetings.
At Giftpack, we have Standup Meetings from Monday to Friday ( an update for TODO tasks of the day, current mood, and sharing something funny in our personal lives). So, even if we all worked remotely, we still communicated very frequently, as a family.
In 2019, we also faced the reformation of our product. Even though we did many changes in operation and had a new understanding of different ideas, we didn’t struggle, and the company went smoothly on the track.
The most significant change in management that year is that we allowed the interns to get involved with the business right away and combine the training program at the same time, leading them to feel a sense of accomplishment during the internship.
It worked and encouraged the Gifterns to keep going. ( I was mainly in charge of the operation team )
We also prepared graduation gifts, and one of the Gifterns wrote about his experience in Giftpack on Linkedin to help with product development. I knew we finally have something right on this.
There were 12 vacancies in 2020:
Frontend Engineer（2）
UI/UX Designer（2）
After seeing the list might lead you to the idea of, “here you go again.” But this time we are well-prepared. Apart from introducing the managers, we also worked on a more developed system that could keep the performance growing.
We added Day 7, Day 30, Day 90 HR performance reviews for Gifterns. The purposes were to try to make them understand their job duties, direction, the company’s core value, and our primary goals. Last but not least, their comments for their managers. The first round of the reviews allowed us to improve our management system effectively.
Furthermore, the managers also came up with some interesting theories and methods to combine the educational material into daily work. Each Gifterns has his/her own “Expected Growth Map” that we can evaluate the outcome in the middle and the end of the program. I believe a diverse and powerful team deserves such attention and effort.
The result is still imposing. Not only because of the volume of resumes that we received but also because of the cultural diversity. After two months of cooperation, I discerned that we got this right. I’m grateful that one of our current Giftern even wrote an article about the recruiting process. It is a significant encouragement and recognition for us.
As a leader, no matter how busy you are, it is necessarypay attention to the work attitude and mental health. Especially for a startup like us when the employee benefits and system are not comparable to other giants.
Our next challenge is to deliver the same spirit to the new managers. How do we make all the full-time employees understand the effort we put in the system-building and be keen on being a part of it. Not only the sense of accomplishment for themselves, I expect that they will inherit the attitude to the Gifterns from us so we can keep the company culture we build.
The purpose of this article is not only to document our HR experiences as a Startup but also to hope that the story can help more entrepreneurs to avoid those problems in the future. I can’t say that we did a great job as we are still improving. However, as a company with many interns, we deeply understand the importance of this matter. Hopefully, when we look back, we can say that we worked hard to solve the problem and move the company forward.
Lastly, I must thank all the interns and full-time employees we had in the past as their contribution brought us experiences, advice, and lessons. Making mistakes is not shameful, but we need to learn from them and get better.
Giftpack is getting better every single day. We know there will be more challenges, and we will remain our attitude to move forward with the whole team togethe

A high carbohydrate diet full of complex carbs will act as the primary fuel source. Another thing of importance is to eat plenty of protein to build and repair body tissues. The protein will also support physical growth and development. Moderate to low amounts of fats will ensure readily available calories from the carbohydrates and lean proteins.

No matter where you plant your easel though, you are rewarded by a great sense of satisfaction whatever the result on paper. </s> Although rodents are the most common animals to hibernate, there are several mammals and insects which also sleep to conserve energy as the colder days require a higher body fat percentage and result in many food sources dying off.
Often thought of as just sleeping, hibernation is actually a state in which an animal decreases itss) and body temperature.
Hibernation is a process animals use to store energy, which they lack during winter due to a reduction in food sources.
Which animals in the UK hibernate?
Only three mammals in the UK hibernate - hedgehogs, dormice and bats.
During this time, our jagged friends will only take a breath every few minutes and will maintain a temperature almost equivalent to the outdoors.
Bats tend to hibernate from November until March, waking at some stages to find food and take a toilet break.
Their reason for hibernating is largely due to the lack of insects available throughout the colder months.
Many species of insects hibernate, including ladybirds, butterflies and bumblebees.
While butterflies will hibernate alone, either wrapping themselves in their wings or in the chrysalis stage of becoming a butterfly, bumble bees and ladybirds huddle in their nests together to share conserved energy.
Should hedgehogs frequent your front lawn, there are a few ways you can keep them safe through winter.
Creating a compost or leaf pile in a dry and warm spot - under a tree or behind your garden hut - allows them to stay sheltered and warm. Also, be sure to check your garden over before cutting the grass or clearing away any piles of fallen leaves.
If you stumble upon a sleepy butterfly while cleaning out your storage cupboard, do not be alarmed as they cannot cause you harm and will die if woken as they cannot withstand the outside temperatures.
If you are a fan, you could make a bat box to attract them - otherwise you may find them in trees or in the roof of your barn, shed or outbuilding.
Leave them be and they will fly away when the warmer weather comes in, if they do not leave beforehand to look for insects.
Why do birds not hibernate?
While mammals, insects and even some reptiles use hibernation to tackle the adverse winter conditions, birds migrate instead.
As countries go through seasons at different rates and different times throughout the year, birds are attracted to wherever suits their preferred environment.
However, this is not the case for all birds - think Robins at Christmas - as some will migrate to the UK in winter and others never leave.
Instead, they will fatten up throughout the day to make it through the cold night.
The RSPB urges people to continue feeding birds throughout the winter as they will become reliant on the feeders you have hanging in the garden.
Can animals hibernate in the summer?
Yes, this form of hibernation is called aestivation and helps animals stay alive through drought, intense heat and when plants die out.
However they do not keep their metabolic rate low for the same length of time as in the cold.
Mice will forage throughout the evenings and lay still all day to store water and energy while hedgehogs can remain asleep for as long as six weeks. </s> What is the average price of a hotel in ArgegnArgegArgegArgeg6 hotels in Argegno, we found the average hotel price in Argegno is $201, and the median price is $153.

In the parole system, too, they're singing a familiar song: Too many parolees under supervision by too few officers.
Part of the problem is aging equipment.
Parole officers complained about frequent slowdowns in the computer system used to track parolee records. The system was supposed to be completely replaced seven years ago, but the replacement is still incomplete, auditors said.

Mr. Cappon couldn’t find that country for a good reason. Other countries do not deliberately sabotage boy children. Richard Whitmire, author of the blog Why Boys Fail, cites an article entitled The Gendered Brain? that discusses how boys differ from girls in an academic environment..
Failure-proof schools and soccer leagues that don’t allow teams to ever lose by more than five goals are examples of environments that sabotage the development of decently acceptable manhood. We see the results of this failed practice play out around us in two ways. Men rebel and become barbarians, or they withdraw and become she-males.
The barbarians are not truly whole men. The spectacle of Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, throwing an incredible winning touchdown pass in Super Bowl XLIII, and then mere months later being accused a second time of rape after a night of drunken debauchery at a bar in Milledgeville, GA brings this dichotomy into focus.
It took remarkable discipline and endeavor to be the man who wears two Super Bowl Rings and holds numerous NFL statistical records. It took a mere ten minutes of stupidity to become a target of well-earned bathroom humor. Another Barbarian Man, Rap “Artist” Eminem, provides the sick humor. “(HT: Digital Spy)
With respect to the vast, black stain, spreading unabated in The Gulf of Mexico, he offered the following commentary: “I would like my life back.” So would eleven of your oil-rig workers, Tony. My version of a Manly-Man’s Man would have manned-up. He might have offered us the following.
“I have failed this corporation, it’s employees, it’s share-holders, it’s customers around the world. My personal short-comings as both an executive and as a leader of men have lead to an environmental catastrophe. I hereby resign from my position as BP CEO and will donate the balance of my annual salary and a major portion of my personal holdings to the ongoing efforts to repair this damage which, I, in part, have unfairly and ungraciously inflicted on millions of innocent people.”
That obviously doesn’t fix all that has been (redacted), but it goes a whole lot further than “I would like my life back..” It would also vastly supersede “Just fix the damn hole!” Staged anger for the cameras is also NOT manhood.
Peggy Noonan, in a piece entitled “He was Supposed to be Competent.” offers the following cutting observation. that critique, Peggy Noonan, perhaps unconsciously, lays out the path towards building the type of men our world currently does not have. Responsibility, ownership, problem-solving, honor, benefice and the unquenchable lust for victory are the virtues. From Latin, virtues are those things that make good men good. If we really want our life back as a nation, and truly desire to fix the (decency-edit) hole, let’s restore the balance to our next generation of men.
The, was quoted as saying the victory at Waterloo was “born on the playing fields of Eaton and Harrow.” For completeness, he should of mentioned it’s chapels, mess-halls and of course, the classrooms. However, encompassing his quote, his point stands irrefutable. A nation’s future lies in the flower of its manhood. Let that manhood again become whole.
Our modern world has had JP Morgan and Andrew Carnegie run its boardrooms while Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan presided over its states. We now have Tony Hayword urinate away our corporate assets while Barack Obama fiddles as the gusher wastes. If this is the future of American manhood is thus, then President Obama’s weasel-souled spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright was correct in one chilling respect. “No, not God bless America….”

Here are a few don’ts for selling a home and some quick and inexpensive fixes that will likely appeal to the range of buyers.
Paneling….Other than traveling through time back to the 70’s – no one wants to see paneling. It sets a certain idea of (grandma’s house) or the past into buyer’s minds. You can remove it, but depending on the listing price of selling your home, you may want to go with the alternative. Paint it a rich neutral color. Carmels and Camels are usually the best. Or you can choose a bolder trendy color. Check the paint store websites for those – they can help.
Peeling paint on outside…many loans will require it be fixed anyway, as will any municipalities who do inspections. Unless it is winter or cold – scrape and paint it.

en | N/A | N/A | Apple cider vinegar has been consumed for thousands of years. In fact, records show that apple juice has been in fermentation into vinegar since, well before 5,000 B.C.
History as it that, apple cider vinegar has been used for a variety of different purposes, such as helping to detoxify the liver, purifying blood, cleansing the lymph nodes and boosting immunity.

THERE ARE 3 VARIETIES OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
Firstly the terms ORGANIC AND RAW are quite and generally found with apple cider vinegar, bringing some confusion when you get to do your buying from the supermarket. Find below are some lay man explanation for a better understanding and clarity.
A. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar:
If your apple cider vinegar is labeled as certified organic, it means that it’s free of genetically modified organisms and synthetic additives that can actually do more harm than good in terms of your health.
B. Raw Apple Cider Vinegar:
Raw apple cider vinegar is unheated and unprocessed. This means that it still has the “mother” meaning it still has the potent value intact, which is a cluster of proteins, enzymes and beneficial bacteria often removed during processing.
C. Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar:
Lastly, although apple cider vinegar is healthy and safe for most people, consuming large amounts can lead to some negative effects on health. Apple cider vinegar side effects include erosion of tooth enamel, burning of the throat or skin and decreased levels of potassium.
Most importantly, be sure to always dilute apple cider vinegar in water instead of drinking it straight to prevent negative side effects. You should also start with a low dose and work your way up to assess your tolerance.

en | N/A | N/A | Has anyone thought about NOT putting an amphitheater in Lakewood’s Steilacoom Park? The park is one of the last quiet, natural and beautiful habitats for hawks, eagles, birds, waterfowl and humans to enjoy a space free of noise, pollution, trash and loud music! I use the park daily and love it just the way it is! Is there anyone else who feels as I do?
Total agreement. There are enough venue options, far more than nature spaces.
AMEN!!! there is NO reason to have an amphitheater in Ft. Steilacoom Park!! PERIOD!
I tend to agree with Judy. The proposed venue will be noisy and expensive and used only occasionally. why not spend money reclaiming the “red barns” and turning them into crafts areas, meeting rooms, indoor farmer’s markets etc that draw people together for greater use of our beautiful park?
I agree as well. Surely there are more important causes/needs for the level of funding they are seeking. And then there are the ongoing costs associated with such a venue.
In this world of stress, where can someone go to relax and rejuvenate? The park is a wonderful place to go for families, young children, older folks and yes, dogs. Why spoil it with more cars and traffic, noise, and excess litter? There are other places to go for people who are looking for that sort of venue.
I”m glad to see that others feel as I do–that Ft. Steilacoom needs to remain as a park, not an entertainment center.
A number of members of our “daily dog walk family” are quite upset with the idea. When a Rotary member was asked about the “proposed” amphitheater, the response was “It is a done deal.” We wonder if there was any discussion, outside of the Rotary Club, about the idea and if there was any opportunity for public input/comment. How much will the city of Lakewood be expected to pay, in addition to the $300,000 the Rotary plans to raise, for the facility and will it result in a tax assessment/increase? There is also concern, in addition to those above, about how much we taxpayers will be responsible for to support the amphitheater for park and road improvements, maintenance of amphitheater facilities, new parking areas being created for the 2,500 individuals for which seats are planned, security before, during and after events, etc., etc., etc..
I agree with you Judi and the other comments. Leave the park the way it is. I can give 100 reasons why but one really sticks out. That most people in Lakewood WANT it to stay that way due to a natural surrounding and having quiet and solitude to walk their dogs, bike, talk and stroll around the lake. This is a Lakewood gem, do not abuse it. Please.
Leave our park as it is! A wonderful asset for Lakewood both mentally and physically. We do not need more noise, traffic, polution, trash in our park. It is so peaceful with all the wildlife, natural meadows, woods and lake. Very few communities have what we have. People playing with their kids, walking their dogs, riding bikes and horses, enjoying being outside….rain or shine. Leave our park as is!
The park is for all of us.
Naturalists, dog enthusiast, athletes, historians, the young and the old.
Having one activity monopolize the use of the park is not good for all who use it.
Some contend that monopolizing activities already exist to the detriment of other activities.
Adding an amphitheater, incorporating rolling grassy knolls and trees, architecture that suggests the farming-flavor of the nearby barns, in a place which has many natural qualities of an amphitheater, surely will not destroy the park. It will be a civic center which will allow a wide variety of activities limited only to the imagination.
Some see athletic events awards ceremonies or graduations, others envision outdoor theater and small concerts, festivals and farmers markets and still others see it as a gathering place for historical park tours.
All this, bringing people and their money to Lakewood stores, restaurants, gas stations and hotels.
Most of the time it will be a quiet monument. A place to sit and reflect, to watch the barn owls and the eagles and the sunset.
The historical park is in a state of decay, the barns of the hospital are collapsing, the non-indigenous plants that formed the “English Gardens” overgrown, the lake, toxic, the road around the lake, an ankle twister. Leaving the park the way it is, is impossible.
An amphitheater placed in proximity to the barns would focus the need for revitalization and restoration–it would be a beginning of additional monies dedicated to this.
Far from a done deal, Rotary is in the beginning of the process, looking for good ideas and positive input.
The best kept secret in Lakewood is Rotary.
In it’s history, Rotary has raised over 3 million dollars for the community, supporting Lakewood organizations, schools, parks and funding projects that no other organization would tackle.
I say good one, Rotary.
Leave the park as is…a quiet, lovely well maintained park for all ages, groups and dogs, thank God. |
en | N/A | N/A | This is a 'special edition' on my Belize blog. My kids are due to arrive shortly, so I asked on the Facebook forum for advice.
Big problem with new arrivals with the soft, untanned, yummy tasting flesh are the sand flies!
I brought along a 'tropic strength' insect repellent when I came. Well, yeah … these sand flies obviously can't read. One evening during sunset I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. My legs were covered in bites. And they ITCH like HELL !!! For a looooong time – a VERY long time! So my advice is to really take precautions in the first few weeks. Once you have this leather skin, they leave you alone (I was told).
Right now I am using a product called 'OFF! DEEP WOODS' by S.C. Johnson & Son. It contains 25% DEET. I am not sure if I want to put that on my skin on a long term base. But for now, anything is better than a week of itching!
Vicks VapoRub is another recommendation (but not tested by myself) to repel Doctor flies & mosquitos and relieves bites of any kind.
Coconut or Baby Oil – if you don't mind sand sticking to your skin after a walk along the beach. Tried it, but I felt so sticky.
Avon Skin So Soft Insect Repellent – we have very contradicting information here. Some say it works, others say it doesn't. I usually have a shower before I go to bed and have used the lotion afterwards. The lotion does have a nice feel to it and I am sure my sunbaked skin can use a bit of hydration. So far I have not been bitten during the night – but that might be due to the ceiling fan running all night.
Vitamin B …hmmmm.. Again, some say it works, others say it doesn't. That leaves me with the conclusion that every person is different. My kids will take a Vitamin B complex for 10 days before arriving. It can't hurt.
Let's move on how to treat once you got bitten.
DO NOT SCRATCH – DO NOT RUB !!!
Sand flies – If I am at home, I quickly get my hairdryer and blow hot air for as long as I can onto the area. For good measure, I rub Benadryl cream on. And I have to say, the bites just disappear within the hour. No itching, no swelling. Just a red dot that can be forgotten.
Some people recommended to place a hot spoon on the bite. I have not tried that .. YET!
Benadryl is apparently also good for scorpion bites!
Aloe Vera – cut a piece of the plant and rub it onto stings or sunburn. Apparently it will also repel insects.
Someone else suggested Bentonite clay.
NO, not THIS meat tenderizer!!!
Well, if the bite is infected, swelling up and turning into a big red blotch, it's time to treat it from the 'inside'. Take an anti-histamine tablet.
And to help the itch use a cortisone cream.
To protect from sunburn is just as important. For the first days I strongly recommend using the highest possible SP factor you can get. Apply it regularly – especially after swimming!
If you plan to go snorkeling, bring some UV resistant clothes. Your shoulders (and your bottom) will be burnt in no time. Sitting in a boat, ensure that your knees are covered! A hat doesn't just protect you from sunburn, but also keeps your head cool. Do NOT wear a wet hat – heatstroke can be caused this way (happened to me when I was a kid).
I personally do not like to apply sunscreen when swimming around a reef. The oil will get into the water. Multiply this by a few thousand tourists every day and you can imagine what impact that will have on marine life.
Okay, you did get sunburnt after all – wh all of us!
Very practical! Can't imagine the garlic body rub though. A quick, though short-time relief for bug bites that I learned from Ecuadorians, is to rub on the juice from a fresh-squeezed lime or lemon. They thought lime worked better, but lemon in a pinch.
Anything that is a base will neutralize the acid in a bug bite. Fire ants are the worst bits ever. I actually use clorox right out of the bottle and put in on the site. Yes you smell bad for a bit. Here in Texas Chigger X is a great product to put on bits and it also works.
Tea bags will help with a sunburn pain. All I had when I was a kid. Now I use a lidocaine product. |
en | N/A | N/A | Quickbooks Enterprise 14 is running on a terminal server. My users occasionally can't open a company file because it asks for windows administrator permissions for dbmanagerexe.exe. (See attached screen shots.) What causes this?How can I resolve this?Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Larissa-after reading through that information, I don't think it applies to this situation. It is, however, an issue I've encountered in the past so it was good to read an explanation!
I've tried your suggestion. Since I can't reproduce the problem on demand, I'll simply have to give it some time and see if the issue re-occurs. If I don't experience the issue again in the next couple of weeks, I'll come back to give you BA points for this and assume that took care of the problem. If it does, you are a genius, my friend!
This seems to have taken care of the problem. You, sir, are a genius!
Good, tip!Thanks, macgyverated!
Thanks, but I actually grew up here in Pennsylvania myself. And I really dislike it. I've tried leaving before, but somehow I keep ending up here again. I've actually been dreaming about moving to Texas myself. I've visited Texas twice so far-Houston and Austin-and thought it seemed like a fairly good place to live-friendly culture, warm climate, and good economy. Sadly, public transportation is poor in both of those cities, but I would consider compromising on that criteria since I could drive a motorcycle most of the time. How do you like it?Do you live in a city or in the country?
Your car/motorcycle won't get rusty here. That's a plus!
Also, make sure Windows and Quickbooks are fully updated. Sometimes Quickbooks automatic updates don't work correctly (especially for major updates) and you have to manually download and install updates. (http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/productupdates.aspx) The latest release of QuickBooks Enterprise 14 is R8. Are you running that?
Was there anything in the system log around the time of those errors?
Of course, working around Quickbooks crashes wouldn't be a thing we would need to discuss if Intuit would just fix their crappy program...
Do you think turning off UAC would help?
Sorry I'm just jumping back in on this guys. I've been out of work a lot lately as my grandfather passed away a couple weeks ago, and our Mastiff got sick we had to put her to sleep on Monday. Anyway...
I know this sounds off the wall, but...
Do you ever use the built-in Quickbooks backup utility within the software, or do you just back up the server partition/disk and call it good?
Lastly, how many concurrent users are accessing the file, and how much RAM is in your server, and does it perform any other functions?
RubenDN-could you try setting the QBCFMonitorService to restart on failure rather than the QuickBooksDB24 service?
A co-worker and I have been battling this as well and he just found this (see link below), which I've just tried as well, but we won't know until a reboot whether or not that (or another change) will make the difference...
I'm guessing that either the QuickBooksDB24 or QBCFMonitorService service isn't starting correctly automatically. Check this by rebooting the server, then obefore anyone opens Quickbooks. Check the status of these two services-are they running?Is the Startup Type set to automatic (it should be automatic for both of the services)?
Are both service starting using the Local system account (see best answer post above)?
The issue IS that the service keeps switching from automatic to manual and QuickBooks can't figure out why. I did just see a nice How To created by Matt_5754 that may help some of us...Cross-linking it here: http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/111761-how-to-create-a-shortcut-in-your-start-menu-to-run-an-... |

Clean Run | November 05 </s> Georgia produces more chicken than any state in the USA, and as a resident of the good old state of Georgia, as well as a God fearing consumer, I do my part to support this fowl, prosperous industry. Boiled in ripping hot fat is the favorite chicken cook method, but I even boil it in water on occasion. Though, the skin is never crispy that way. Oh, how the boiling medium can effect the results.
It was a Monday, and I ate a light breakfast in anticipation of a planned meal at Busy Bee Cafe, on MLK Blvd, just over the tracks near the aquarium. Two piece, dark, with greens and mac. Ham hocks on the side. The chicken – crusty, small pieces of Southern heaven. Tender. Salty. A group of young men walk in, smelling heavily of weed. My dining parter asks why it smells like weed in here? Silly question. If I was on the dope downtown, Busy Bee Cafe is a likely destination.
Took them home, traveled surprisingly well. Large but crispy outside and juicy inside. Classic buffalo sauce style, with an added red pepper flake punch. Perfection.
Dinner ideas? More chicken. Springer Mountain, packaging defaced by Paula Deen. Salted. Wishbone removed, spatchcocked. Paprika, fennel, cumin, duck fat. Four hundred fifty degrees, twenty five minutes. Rested well. Torn apart, eaten with hands.
The chickens…they keep coming, and I keep eating, but the day of chickening is coming.rch 2014

Shabby cabins way overpriced!
While the setting is lovely and the inn itself is charming, our cabin was very disappointing and rather shabby. There were bare light bulbs in both the living area and the bathroom. There were some electrical wires sticking out of the ceiling. The hodgepoddge furnishings looked and felt as if they had come from an auction of used roadside motel furniture. I don't know if the rooms in the inn are better, but if you choose to stay here, my advice is to avoid the cabins. You won't get what you pay for!
Normaway - way to go!
One thing the innkeeper desperately needs to do is provide directions to the inn on the website. Although it's not impossible to find, the oddly named town of Egypt Road is further on than you'd think. We kept thinking we must have missed it and wondering whether we should turn back. Don't despair -- you'll get to it eventually!
My mom and I stayed at the Normaway and were very disappointed with the cabin and the guest services. First of all, it can be difficult to find and is several miles from any other businesses. We called to get directions are were told that they had lost our reservation. They wouldn't even give us directions to the inn! |

Add’l comments: “Turns out, the presenters did not focus on a wide spectrum of neurodiversity, instead on personal experiences. I did like what they were saying but WOW really not the workshop described in the book.”
Mariah’s responses-
Re: suggestion of medical/psychological folks on panel, more scientific info
I wanted to center the voices of neurodivergent people, rather than “experts” on psychology et al. since we usually hear those voices the most, they get prestige and profit off of their expertise, whereas “patients/consumers” get stigma and often are not listened to by the public.
Negative comments- well I don’t know which comments that referred to, but likely there was some frustration expressed by panelists (and attendees) towards the medical-industrial and educational establishments. I tried to maintain an overall positive tone, since we are bringing our experiences into the open and neurodivergent people have more opportunities for activism and public education than ever before. But we are going to be speaking out against oppressive people and power structures, so yes that is going to be somewhat negative. However, it would be the same case in any of the other intersectional workshops.
It seemes like it was a very enriching and rewarding experience! Glad to read that it turned out well.
It’s extraordinary that neurodiversity is only now being deemed as important! Sounds like a great experience. </s> Looking for a way to cozy up this winter? Below we suggest some seasonally appropriate films to enjoy, as well as some hot chocolate selections to pair them with!
It’s not only one of the cheaper brands, but it also tastes pretty good. Sometimes I add an extra spoonful of cocoa to make it even more chocolate-y!

This hot chocolate solves the problem of the included marshmallows dissolving before your hot chocolate is cool enough to drink. How? The marshmallows are significantly larger than the usual packaged kind!

In this 3-hour Budapest Jewish Quarter tour, we’ll look at the vibrant and ongoing history of Jews in this city. The Jewish Quarter is once again emerging as the heart of a contemporary city and together with our local expert, we'll trace the development of Jewish culture in the city from the Middle Ages to the present.
Our tour will also grapple with the experience of World War II in Budapest and the persecution of Jews here by the Germans. We’ll trace the course of the walls erected as part of the ghetto where Jews were confined and search out remnants of the so-called “yellow star houses” that the Germans used to indicate Jewish residents. In the company of our guide, a historian with expertise in Jewish history, we will discuss the deportation of Jews from Budapest and frame our discussion within the larger context of the Holocaust throughout Europe and visit several synagogues, including a carefully restored masterpiece by the renowned Secessionist architect Otto Wagner, the Dohany Synagogue or so-called Great Synagogue of Budapest—one of the largest synagogues in the world. We'll also find a ritual bath (mikvah) and several kosher shops to learn about Judaism in practice today.
When we finish our time together, welife of Jews in Budapest and in Hungary. Thanks to the local perspective of our expert guide, we'll be able to place this history in a European and global context, as well as recognize how Jews have contributed to the social development of Budapest itself.

Please note that in the previous volume of the FILLM Newsletter we wrote that the deadline for submitting abstracts for ALFAL's 18th Congress in Bogotá, Colombia is 30 March 2017. This was incorrect. As you can also see below, the actual deadline is 24 November 2016. We apologise if this has caused any inconveniences.
The Modern Language Association joins FILLM!
We're extremely pleased to announce that The Modern Language Association (better known as the MLA, of course) has joined FILLM. Perhaps, it's more accurate to say that the MLA rejoins FILLM after a few years' absence. Either way, though, we're very happy to have the MLA as part of our community and we're sure their membership will be of great benefit to everyone involved with FILLM.
The MLA hardly needs introduction, but if you would still like to know a bit about the association you can find a brief introduction on the FILLM website alongside a few words of welcome from FILLM President Meenakshi Bharat.
If you want to know more than that, we strongly recommend that you check out the MLA's own highly useful website.
Finally, we would like to point out here that the MLA will be represented on the FILLM Committee by its Executive Director, Rosemary G. Feal.
As we hope most of you are aware, the next FILLM Congress will take place from 15-17 March 2017 in New Delhi, India. It is hosted by Sri Venkateswara College, University of Delhi and the local organizers are FILLM President Meenakshi Bharat and the University of Delhi.
The deadline for submitting abstracts for the Congress was today (15 September 2016) and we hope everyone got their proposals in on time. Everyone will be notified about whether their paper has been accepted by 30 September 2016. To see other important deadlines, check out the Congress webpages...
The preparations for the Congress are in full swing and we can tell that detailed information about location, venue, travel and accommodation will be made available on 30 September 2016.
As some of you may know, we recently had a brochure designed which briefly introduces FILLM, its mission and purpose, and our Member Associations.
The leaflet is intended as a tangible way of spreading knowledge about FILLM, so if you're attending an academic gathering where you feel people might be interested, feel free to print a few copies and distributed them. You can download the brochure here...

en | N/A | N/A | 6 Sigma Only for Giants? Deming's Thoughts?
About this six sigma matter, as I recall, Deming did not have a very positive attitude in his last book.Why? Does it work? Works only for giants like Motorola?
Juran is not positive about the six sigma process either.
My question is, why stop with six sigma? Why not go on with 9, 12, 15,18 . . . ?
We could go on forever, the tails of the curve will never go to "0".
As I understand Dr. Deming's less than supportive comments concerning Six Sigma (this is just my interpretation/opinion), it all stems from the philosophy of conforming to specifications. Conformance to specifications does not take into consideration the loss associated with variation. While a process can be within specification, the variation around X-bar may be widely dispersed. Even with special causes of variation eliminated (the process is considered "in control"), the goal should be to reduce the common causes of variation to obtain a tight grouping around x-bar, not maintain conformance to specifications. By adding a Taguchi Loss Function, it is possible to observe that, the further a process moves from optimal, the greater the loss to the customer. That should be the goal - reducing the loss to the customer, not conformance to a specification. As Dr. Deming states, "al reduction of variation about the target through improvement of processes." (The New Economics, Chapter 10).
Now, my thoughts on Six Sigma (taking Dr. Deming's System of Profound Knt into consideration) are that Six Sigma focus's too much on the short term benefits derived from a Six Sigma project (and the financial gains derived from it). It lacks the long term focus necessary to fundamentally change the company culture to one of, say, Kaizen. Six Sigma seems to be looking for those big gains, overlooking the small incremental changes to a process that can reduce common causes of variation and tighten the process to get ever closer to the target value. Another problem I see with Six Sigma is that the focus is on large dollar projects. For example, at the onset of a Six Sigma program, projects will only be accepted if the expected payback exceeds a certain dollar figure, say $750,000. Eventually, those projects will be come more scarce as the number of "big ticket" projects diminishes. Then what? Lower the expected payback value? Ok... sure - drop the payback to $500,000. Eventually, those projects will also dry up. If the target payback keeps getting smaller, eventually the cost of a implementing a project will exceed it's payback. Yet, in all this hoopla about Six Sigma, where are those small changes to a process that the person on the shop floor can tell you about that can make a process a little better, get the product manufactured a little easier or a little quicker. There aren't any huge $$ gains, just the small incremental increases that lead to enhanced productivity, reduced variation and more contented line workers who feel that management is listening to them and they have control over their process.
Now - I am not saying Six Sigma is a bad thing. It is a step in the right direction. Training people in process improvement, SPC, DOE, etc., cannot be a bad thing. Like ISO or QS, it is a good start towards a process of continuous improvement, and that (continuous improvement) should be the ultimate goal of management.
So... does Six Sigma work. The short answer is, yes, Six Sigma works. Does it only work for giants? Don't know... Motorola is huge and has gained a great deal of notoriety because of Six Sigma. I don't know of any small companies that have implemented Six Sigma because you just don't hear of them.
I like your style of thinking. Maybe after 6 sigma we can have 8 sigma, including all the new books, training, and associated costs. |

Weeks later they would say they have no wish to speak to him again because they found out he is unemployed or homeless or has just come out of prison. Fine, good decision, but they could have asked him about those things before meeting and saved time on pointless meets.If you have children and it is important to you that your man loves children too then do not meet every guy who asks you to meet and then find out which ones like children, suss them out on this deal breaker before and probably instead of meeting.

en | N/A | N/A | North Olmsted spending $315,000 for new Service Department vehicle purchases
Updated March 7, 2018 at 10:43 AM ; Posted March 7, 2018 at 8:10 AM
NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio -- City Council is expected to approve the $315,000 purchase of four new Service Department vehicles.
The city is spending $148,000 for a new 926M Wheel Loader Caterpillar. The large front-end loader is used in the wintertime to put salt into trucks or the salt barn. In the summer, it is used to load stone, sand and gravel, as well as pick up concrete.
Glauner said the city is trading in its old front-loader for $7,500.
"It came down to a Komatsu and a Caterpillar," Glauner said. "Caterpillar also gave us a five-year, bumper-to-bumper complete warranty.
"We'd like to get going on the purchase. If we wait and every other city gets their trucks ordered, it'll be October or November until we receive ours," he said.
The Service Department is also spending more than $130,000 to purchase new trucks, including two Ford F-550s at $62,000 each from Valley Ford Truck Inc. The vehicles will also have plow blades added, for a combined cost of $10,000, from Best Truck Equipment Inc.
"They're replacing regular pickup trucks that were two-wheel drive, which don't plow very well in the snow," Glauner said. "So these are all four-wheel drive. The 17-year-old trucks will be auctioned off.
The last purchase is a $35,000 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Sierra Crew Cab Pickup, which includes a plow blade, from Morris Cadillac Buick GMC for general maintenance use at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
"Overall, we're just keeping the equipment running so we can continue our services that we need to provide for the residents to keep the streets clean during the wintertime and get the work done during the summer," Glauner said. |

East won the first trick with his king of diamonds and returned the jack of spades. This augured ill for the possibility of the spade break that would allow South to discard a club on dummy's fourth spade. But East's opening bid virtually exposed the club king in his hand, since without that high card his strength must be well short of opening-bid requirements. Thus South was clearly warned that the normal plays for the slam would fail.

en | N/A | N/A | Omer Haciomeroglu’s Clean Concrete Recycling RobotPosted: December 2nd, 2013 | Author: Sally Parker | Filed under: Brilliant Design | Tags: Advanced Product Design, ARCHITECTURE, Atlas Copco, Cement, Concrete Deconstruction Robot, ERO Concrete De-construction Robot, Green Building, Green Concrete, Omer Haciomeroglu, Sweden's Umeå Institute | Comments Off on
The main component of concrete is cement, the manufacture of whichin our atmosphere. Cutting back on our use of cement and concrete is a hardship, the stuff is tough and relatively cheap compared with alternatives.
Recycling concrete is becoming much more common, in of itself however, it’s not such a green practice. Concrete demolition usually ends up with as much discarded landfill as recyclables, once concrete reaches the recycling yard it’s reprocessing takes almost as much energy as making the stuff from scratch.
ERO is only a concept at the moment, but the principles for the Concrete Deconstruction Robot are clues to the near future of demolition and recycling possibilities.
Omer Haciomeroglu’s concept replaces several pieces of heavy machinery, it erases buildings a section and layer at a time. The ERO’s would be deployed on site, moving about on it’s clever omnidirectional tracks – developed by Osaka University – like a crab. Haciomeroglu says the tracks allow ERO a freedom of not only movement, but also simplify the mechanics and loses the need for heavy hydraulic stabilizers.
“Trials at the same time as de-construction.” Haciomeroglu said. “ Current techniques tend to pulverize with brute force which creates a lot of dust and uses a lot of energy. The main goal of the ERO project was to provide a smart, sustainable near future approach to the demolition operations that will allow recycling as much as possible.”
As well as saving the planet, the other side of ERO is cost saving, demolishing a building often costs as much as erecting the one pegged to take it’s place. ERO is designed to deconstruct efficiently, losing the need for multiple material separators, the robots separates all of the buildings materials via Hydro/Centrifugal Decanter.
High pressure water is jetted against the surface to scarify the concrete, leaving the reinforcing steel intact. The Centrifugal Decanter then spins the slurry at speed, separating the materials from water, which is recycled through the system.
“This project is an excellent solution for the complexity of today’s demolition techniques which consumes a lot of energy to create a lot of waste.” Haciomeroglu said. “Around the world, concrete structures are being demolished to make way for new concrete structures every day, ERO simply turns Waste into Asset.”
ERO Concrete Recycling Robot efficiently disassembles concrete structures without waste.
Strategically placed in a building ERO would scan the environment, determine the optimal route of operation and execute the demolition with no human intervention. The robot – or team of robots – cleverly switches between pulverizing and smart deconstruction modes, tearing buildings down layer by layer. The robots are also super power efficient, with it’s own hydro-electric generator.
“The packaging unit provides the system with vacuum suction and electrical power, turbulence dynamos placed within the air suction route also produce power.” Haciomeroglu said. “ERO uses less than what it gets, nothing is land filled or sent away for external processing.”
Omer Haciomerogluthe robot was designed for construction equipment company Atlas Copco. ERO won the 2013 Industrial Designers Society of America – IDSA – Student Design Award, while studyinge.

past 30 years has been our aging population, over the coming decades this aging will polarize, affecting not only the lifestyle choices of the greying population, but the economy of successive generations as well. As Baby Boomers seek to downsize responsibility, are they biting at chunks of the property market also sought-out by Gen Y?
A decade ago a house on a quarter acre block might have been the dream lived out by the average Aussie Baby Boomer, but new research suggests they are increasingly looking at apartment living, the same corner of the market chased by their grandchildren.

en | N/A | N/A | We in the West were witness to the horrendous brutality that ISIS was capable of when it came to dealing with those captured Westerners – including their beheadings on a regular basis, but other groups were also willing to engage in equally savage treatment of innocent Westerners.

Levin explains that, until 2015 when the Russians intervened on his side, Assad appeared amenable to a negotiated settlement, especially when rebel forces were inflicting terrible damage on his own forces.
This lengthy preamble to my review of the book was necessary to provide some context for what the book is all about. Since the story that Levin tells – and the events which he describes are all true - although he has changed the names of most of theindividuals whose lives might be in danger, even years after the events which he describes.
Reading “Proof of Life” is like reading any well-written, fast paced thriller – except in this case, knowing that what you are reading really did happen will often leave you feeling physically ill when you realize to the present day. And I’m not just talking about the depravities of various armed groups around the world, many of which are Islamic it must be said (whether in the Middle East, Africa, the Philippines or any other of a number of areas in which offshoots of Al Qaeda or ISIS still hold sway).
What follow sin the book is a complex series of encounters with some fascinating characters, most of whom are Arabs of varying nationalities, in locations including Ankara, Beirut, Washington, Amman, and Dubai, as Levin pursues a trail replete with scattered bits of information that bring him ever closer to the one character who he is certain can reveal what actually happened to Paul Blocher.
Throughout reading this book I couldn’t help thinking that Levin, who doesn’t at all hide his Jewish identity, was quite fearless in his willingness to seek out individuals whose reputations would leave just about anyone else terrified to even go anywhere near them, let alone try and arrange to meet them.
“Amphetamine use by fighters is commonplace
As Levin pursued his quest to find out what happened to Paul Blocher, he was led ever closer to the one man who, it is had become apparent from a variety of sources, would be able to tell Levin what happened to Blocher.

The best that it can be……On the face of it, this is a good statement: the positive approach to our life and the way we live it. Why should it, our life, not be the best that it can be?Thr packaging off the food in her fridge otherwise they would throw it out if it was anywhere near its date. Then I watched Countryfile on the BBC and they were showing how a whole new industry was growing around waste food collection and its use to create energy for our homes. Then I read an article in Positive News where a tribe in India stood to lose their land because a huge conglomerate wished to mine for bauxite (raw aluminium – this is such a toxic substance that mining for it poisons all the land and the people). The article was in Positive News because the Tribe won their case. Sadly there are many other stories where the outcome is not so happy.
We humans, mostly in the West, but I regret to say our influence is spreading, have come to believe we deserve the best. We have interpreted ‘the best it can be’ into all aspects of our lives. This means we should aspire to the best house, best kitchen, the best car, furniture, clothes, television, computer, mobile phone, and, of course, the best food. Our food has ‘Best Before’ written on it, so subconsciously we see it is not good enough for us if it is near that date, or that the apple has a blemish or the potato and cucumber are a bit knobbly, so we throw it away; for are we not worthy of the best?
How much does the best cost?
The consequences of all of these choices are that currently the world is at war over mineral rights, (Darfur is only one example of genocide and destruction based on the greed of the west for a mineral used in mobile phones and other electrical equipment), men and women are used as slave labour to make our clothes, the planet is being carved up and the rivers polluted for the copper, zinc etc. to go into our newest and best electronic ‘toys’, such as mobile phones, computers and flat-screen TVs. Billions of tons of food is thrown away each year because it is considered not to be the best it can be, whilst those that live in the countries that grow our food starve.
I am not advocating a hair shirt, sleeping under a hedge, or eating rotten food and starving, but in all things there is a balance. And yes, I do have a mobile phone which is second hand, over six years old and works perfectly for the rare emergency calls I make. The balance is I do not feel I need to change it every time a new improved model comes on the market. Millions of mobile phones are put into landfill and are not recycled.
The price we may pay for misunderstanding ‘the best that it can be…’ is monumental. There are many people affected by our choices that we never see or think of. The people who grow the food or mine the mineral do so at a very high price. If a people lives on a land that is rich in minerals, that land will be torn away from them, they will be placed in camps, and the reason why – is you.
Our misunderstanding of what makes us special, a success, admired, is now tightly bound up with possessions, material goods, ‘if I do not have the best and newest of everything I will be judged a failure’.
A complete consciousness
It is the best that we can be, as a human and as a complete consciousness. The best that we are is not made up of, or lack of, possessions. It is about how we live our lives in relation to the rest of the universe and in particular, with each other.
It is we, the so called civilised world, who are so insecure in who we are as souls that we need the third world to be plundered so that we can surround ourselves with our props, and say to the world ‘Look I am worthy I have the best that there can be’.
In his book The Human Soul [171046], my husband, Chris Thomas, asks that we Think About It. Think about the consequences your actions will have on others, and then make the choice that feels right to you. It is your choice, and you cannot blame the consequences on anyone else.
Everything we buy is made from the planet itself. This is the planet which has given us the choice of physical life rather than a free-floating soul. Chris has said in his book that we are here to prove that it is possible to have a full soul in physical form, and that the whole of our existence has been to prove that that is possible. Everything that is happening on Earth, our solar system, our galaxy and the universe beyond is currently happening in order to help us to be the best human beings we can whilst remaining on Earth. The Human Soul can help you to determine where you are within that process.

en | N/A | N/A | Q: Euler formula, polyhedron with a hole I'd like to ask help for this question. I know that I need to have a little more concept on what kind of polyhedra that Euler's formula is valid.
a) F = 12
d) Euler's formula F + V - E = 2 applies
e) All above are true
Actually, by looking at this picture we can conclude that E is correct, since all of them seem to be true. However, shouldn't this formula be F + V - E = -2, since the genus is 2 ?
A: The number of faces is listed as 12. There are ten vertical faces and two "horizontal" faces (namely, top level and bottom level of the polyhedron). However, the latter pair are not admissible as faces because a face has to be a convex polygon for the formula to apply.
A: See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_with_holes#In_polyhedra
$V=20, E=30, F=12, H=4$ (2 faces each with 2 holes)
\implies g=2$ so it's $2$-holed polyhedron. |

Is saturated fat healthy? Many studies have gone back and forth over this topic and the answer seems unclear. This recent study attempts to answer this question.
Who isn’t a fan of greasy bacon, juicy steaks, and succulent sausages? Despite how tasty those things are, and some studies seem to suggest they may not be entirely bad for your heart, it may not be the wisest decision to stuff your face fullu should be careful about the amount of saturated fat you consume. A study the consumption of vegetable oil is still healthier overall.
The reason why it seemed unhealthier in the first place is because people were replacing their saturated fat sources with refined carbohydrates which impacted their risk of cardiovascular disease.
Is Saturated Fat Dangerous?
ss saturated fat and more polyunsaturated vegetable oil helped to reduce cardiovascular disease by 30%.
Many studies over the years had actually failed to take into account the type of carbohydrates being consumed, and as a result, the results were skewed against the healthier polyunsaturated fats from plants.
Dr Sacks’ general advice based on the research “is pretty straightforward: conls and replac suggests that fat from animal sources aren’t as good as they seem.
“[Dairy fat is] n,” said Dr Willett. “Y
With many conflicting studies done over the years about what is good and bad for you, it may be difficult to keep track of what truly is healthy. But you should still think twice before going for another serving of fatty meat when you’re at a buffet.

Victoria Grayson is about to learn about Charlotte's unplanned pregnancy. Watch the sneak peek from the Revenge Season 2 finale to see her reaction EOS 7D Mark II rumors surface
In common with the stories about a new Nikon DX camera scheduled for 2013 release, there are also rumors surfacing about a replacement for the Canon EOS 7D. Petapixel list the specifications for the new camera as having a 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor, dual DIGIC V processors, dual memory card slots, a new ergonomic design, a new type of battery, and 10.2 frame per second burst mode. Northlight Images claim the new camera will be aimed at:
Release date is predicted to be February 2013. Please bear in mind that the above are rumors which may or may not be true! </s> FORT WORTH – Stephanie Stephens was afraid thieves would pick over her SUV if she left it on the shoulder of a highway in Fort Worth as she was told to do. And that's exactly what happened.
So too was the car seat, a computer game, and new clothes belonging to her special needs daughter. Sensitive medical papers were gone, too.
It didn't start out as a big deal.
"They said someone would arrive within 70 minutes," she said.
"7:38. And then again at 7:41. Then again at 7:43. And again at 8:20," she says, reading down the list on her phone log.
More than three hours later, there was still no tow truck. Stphens said the last time she called, they told her to leave the vehicle and they would come and get it.
"They canceled the service," she said. "They said they couldn't find me."
"But you know," Stephens fumed, "I have to pay the $500 deductible for their negligence."
She said that's $500 she can't afford as a single mom staying home to care for her daughter.
Stephens' insurance agent said he's trying to fight for his client. A company representative said the insurer is trying to determine what went wrong. Allstate sent the following response:
We are deeply concerned about this incident and what our customer experienced in this incident.
Our response time goal with Allstate Roadside Assistance is a 15 minute turnaround. This fast service occurs the vast majority of the time. We are investigating the circumstances thoroughly to determine what went wrong, including which towing companies were involved and why couldn’t they respond more quickly.
W are also looking at how we can work with the customer to make it right with her. </s> $700 last month from a 70-year-old man.
Police believe the victim had just finished his transaction at the Bank of America ATM on East Main Street, but failed to sign out from the machine. That allowed the next person in line to take advantage.

Der Mesner kam herausgelaufen, als ob dieser ehemalige Kanitz der leibhaftige Fürst Orosvár wäre, und teilte beflissen mit, daß der Priester mit dem Beginn der Messe warten wolle; ehrfürchtig gesenkten Hauptes bildeten die Leute Spalier, und sichtliche Rührung bemächtigte sich ihrer, sobald sie die Hinfälligkeit Ediths wahrnahmen, die von Josef und Ilona gestützt und geführt werden mußte. Immer erschüttert es gerade die einfachen Leute, wenn sie erkennen, daß Unglück sich nicht scheut, auch die »Reichen« gelegentlich grimmig anzufassen. Ein Rauschen und Raunen entstand, aber dann brachten die Frauen geschäftig Kissen heran, damit die Gebrechliche – selbstverständlich in der ersten Bankreihe, die sich rasch geleert hatte – möglichst bequem sitzen könne; fast hatte es den Anschein, als zelebriere dann der Priester für uns die Messe mit besonderer Feierlichkeit. Ich selbst wurde von der rührenden Einfachheit dieses Kirchleins sehr ergriffen; der helle Gesang der Frauen, der rauhe, etwas ungelenke der Männer, die naiven Stimmen der Kinder schien mir reinere und unmittelbarere Gläubigkeit zu bekennen als die viel kunstvolleren Zelebrierungen, wie ich sie im heimischen Stephansdom oder in der Augustinerkirche sonntäglich gewohnt war. Aber von eigener Andacht wurde ich wider meinen Willen abgelenkt, als ich zufällig auf Edith, meine Nachbarin, blickte und geradezu erschrocken bemerkte, mit welcher brennenden Inbrunst sie betete. Nie hatte ich bisher an irgendeinem Anzeichen vermuten können, daß sie fromm erzogen oder gesinnt sei; nun gewahrte ich eine Art des Gebets, das nicht wie jenes der meisten eine eingelernte Gewohnheit war; das blasse Gesicht gesenkt wie jemand, der gegen großen Sturm geht, die Hände angeklammert an das Pult, die äußeren Sinne gleichsam nach innen gezogen, und nur unbewußt die Worte mitmurmelnd, verriet sie in ihrer ganzen Haltung die Gespanntheit eines Menschen, der ein Äußerstes mit aufgebäumter und gesammelter Kraft erzwingen will. Manchmal zitterte die dunkle hölzerne Kirchenbank bis zu mir herüber, so inbrünstig ging das Erschüttertsein und Beben dieses ekstatischen Betens in das starre Holz. Ich begriff sofort, daß sie sich an Gott um ein Bestimmtes wandte, daß sie von ihm etwas _wollte_. Und was diese Kranke, diese Gelähmte begehrte, dies mitzufühlen war nicht schwer.
Auch als wir Edith nach beendetem Gottesdienst wieder in den Wagen geholfen hatten, blieb sie noch längere Zeit ganz in sich gekehrt. Sie sprach kein Wort. Nicht mehr wandte sie sich übermütig neugierig nach allen Seiten: es war, als hätte diese halbe Stunde inbrünstigen Ringens ihre Sinne erschöpft und ermüdet. Selbstverständlich blieben wir gleichfalls zurückhaltend. Es wurde eine stille und allmählich schläfrige Fahrt, bis wir knapp vor Mittag im Gestüt anlangten.
Dort freilich erwartete uns besonderer Empfang. Die Burschen der nächsten Umgebung hatten – offenbar von unserem Besuch verständigt – sich just die ungebändigten Pferde des Gestüts herangeholt und jagten uns in einer Art arabischer Fantasia in schärfstem Galopp entgegen. Prächtig waren sie anzusehen, diese sonnverbrannten jauchzenden Jungen, offen das Hemd, bunte, lange Bänder wegschwingend von den niederen Hüten, weiß und breit die Pampashosen; wie eine Beduinenhorde stoben sie auf den ungesattelten Pferden stürmisch heran, als wollten sie uns in einem Ruck überrennen. Schon spitzten unsere Gäule unruhig die Ohren, schon mußte mit angestemmten Beinen der alte Jonak die Zügel scharf halten, als sich die wilde Bande auf einen plötzlichen Pfiff hin kunstvoll zum geschlossenen Zuge formte, der uns dann als übermütiges Cortège bis zum Hause des Gestütsverwalters begleitete.
Dort gab es für mich gelernten Kavalleristen allerhand zu sehen. Den beiden Mädchen dagegen brachte man die Fohlen heran, und sie konnten sich gar nicht fassen über die ängstlich neugierigen Tiere mit ihren eckigen, ungeschickten Beinen und dummen Mäulern, die noch gar nicht verstanden, den dargereichten Zucker richtig zu knabbern. Während wir alle so heiter beschäftigt wurden, hatte der Küchenbursche unter Jonaks sorglicher Leitung einen prächtigen Imbiß im Freien angerichtet. Bald erwies sich der Wein als dermaßen kräftig und gut, daß unsere bisher gedämpfte Fröhlichkeit sich immer übermütiger äußerte. Alle plauderten wir gesprächiger, kameradschaftlicher, unbefangener als je, und so wenig wie irgend ein Wölkchen den seidenblauen Himmel, überflog mich während all dieser Stunden der schattende Gedanke, daß ich dieses schmächtige Mädchen, das am herzlichsten, am lautesten, am glücklichsten von uns allen lachte, immer nur als Leidende, als Verzweifelte, als Verstörte gekannt oder daß dieser alte Mann, der die Pferde mit der Kenntnis eines Veterinärs prüfte und abtätschelte, mit jedem Burschen spaßte und ihnen Trinkgelder zusteckte, derselbe war, der mich vor zwei Tagen aus irrsinniger Angst wie ein Traumwandler nächtens angefallen. Auch mich selber erkannte ich kaum, so leicht und wie von warmem Öl aufgelockert gingen mir die Glieder. Ich probierte nach Tisch, während man Edith im Zimmer der Frau des Gestüts Verwalters ein wenig rasten ließ, hintereinander ein paar Pferde durch. Um die Wette sprengte ich mit ein paar der jungen Burschen über die Wiesen und empfand in diesem Lockerlassen der Zügel und meiner selbst ein nie gekanntes Gefühl der Freiheit. Ach, hier bleiben können, niemandem Untertan, frei in den freien Feldern, flughaft frei! Das Herz war mir ein wenig schwer, als ich, schon ganz ins Weite galoppiert, von fern den Ruf des Jagdhorns vernahm, das zur Rückkehr mahnte.
Für diese unsere Rückkehr hatte der wohlerfahrene Jonak der Abwechslung wegen einen andern Weg gewählt, vermutlich auch, weil diese Straße längere Zeit durch ein kleines kühlendes Wäldchen führte. Und wie schon alles glückhaft sich fügte an diesem gelungenen Tage, erwartete uns noch eine letzte, eine beste Überraschung; einfahrend in ein unscheinbares Zwanzighäuserdorf, erwies sich die einzige Straße dieses abgelegenen Fleckens als fast gänzlich versperrt durch ein Dutzend leere Leiterwagen. Sonderbarerweise fand sich niemand zur Stelle, um für unsere mächtig ausladende Karosse Platz zu schaffen; es war, als seien im ganzen Umkreis die Menschen vom, Boden verschluckt. Jedoch bald klärte sich diese übersonntägliche Leere auf, als Jonaks geschulte Hand mit der riesigen Peitsche einen Knall in die Luft hieb, der einem Pistolenschuß durchaus ähnlich war, denn kaum daß einige Leute erschrocken herbeiliefen, entstand ein heiteres Mißverständnis. Es ergab sich nämlich, daß der Sohn des reichsten Bauern der Gegend mit einer armen Verwandten aus einem anderen Weiler gerade Hochzeit feierte; vom Ende der für uns versperr |

Today, while running some errands in Prati, I finally had the chance to test out a new eatery that popped up in June. It's called VERO- FOOD TO MOVE and it kicks ass. It reminds me of Pret a Manger or Eat: a nice variety of quick, healthy food. Of course we'd all like to have the time and luxury to sit around and eat a leisurely one-hour lunch but that's not always an option, so being able to grab soup (I love me some soup) and a sandwich or salad TO GO, is a real necessity nowadays in Rome. Their desserts are pretty tasty as well.

Her face is shadowed by darkness, and only two glowing eyes reveal that this statuesque figure is indeed alive. The whole consitutes a nightmarish vision of woman as, simultaneously, desirous and repulsive.
A different and particularly revealing portrait of the feminine is offered by
virago?
A SERIES OF DISQUIETING SELF-PORTRAITS
(c. 1923), his foppish appearance leads us to wonder. By the time we come to
we are left with little doubt: this image offers a mirror reflection of his own effeminate qualities - his hip gently rounded, his right hand bent at the wrist, and a most coyish look in his eyes. Strangest of all, his sex is concealed by a black veil, but the background is loaded with roses and an arch - Freudian symbols
of the feminine sex.
Stranger still is his
(1925), in which two figures dance in wigs, heels and campy ballet outfits. The figure on the left is clearly feminine, while the one on the right - upon closer observation - is Kalmakoff himself. The feminine has overtaken his personality so completely that we are hardpressed female partner. They both dance in the same manner, with their hands in the same positions (holding staffs topped, once more, with roses). They glance at one another as if glancing into a mirror.
As told in Ovid's
of that pool, a comely young maiden, also became entranced by his beautiful image in the water. This, it appears, is the moment Kalmakoff has captured in his work.
called aloud
'May the Gods so ordain that we never be separated in future time, neither you from me nor me from you.' And, as Ovid tells,
"the Gods accepted her prayer. For their two bodies were joined together as they entwined, and in appearance they were made one."
Henceforth, he was called Hermaphroditus, for he bore the features both man and woman. (Ovid,
This painting symbolizes Kalmakoff's final attempt to render an image of himself as masculine and feminine - desiring for them both to be one and united within his own person. Was this utter madness on his part? Pride, vanity, narcisism? The labyrinth takes another strange turn.
Hermaphroditus,
narkh,
meaning the numbness associated with narcotics) was born a most beautiful young man. Tiresias prophecied he would live a long life, provided
"he does not come to know himself."
While Narcissus rejected the love proffered by others (particularly the nymph Echo, who echoed all that he said), heHe lamented:
"If."
But this story ends in a different manner. Narcissus, alas, could not embrace his watery image. Withstanding the separation no longer, he finally proclaimed
"
And so he disappeared from the banks of the pond, drowned in his own reflection. All that remained wastre the narcissus flower. (Ovid,
In Kalmakoff's
(or Hermaphroditus), the decadent artist is forever frozen in this pose - gazing at himself longingly, male and female, apart and yet desiring to be one, knowing that their union would only bring tragic self-destruction.
THE EVER DYING AND RISING GOD
Self Portrait as Adonis
(c. 1924) shows the artist once more, but now dead and mourned by a long line of women. The
had indeed fallen into the pool of narcisstic self-destruction. Adonis lies supine on the tomb, his body slender and white with curly red hair. The women, who we can imagine are his past lovers, mourn him with eyes closed and faces downcast. Though veiled in black from head to toe, their slender nude figures parade by the tomb, carrying perfume oil to annoint the body and bands of cloth to swathe it.
For the myth of Adonis, we must turn once more to Ovid. And here we learn that this young lover of Venus died while hunting a wild boar. Indeed, the savage beast |
en | N/A | N/A | Arthritis is a known condition consisting of inflamed muscles and joints lasting for many years and possibly throughout a full lifetime. There are different types of arthritic diseases that display unique conditions and race.
Arthritis symptoms often include restricted motion, muscle stiffness, pain, and swelling. These symptoms typically range from mild to severe, can hinder or prevent completion of daily activities, and become much worse over time. More than 50 million people worldwide report cases of arthritis - many with specific complexities such as infections, joint vulnerability, and other problematic symptoms. Arthritis is more frequent with women and develops mostly with older individuals
Clinical trials have shown CBD soothing inflammation and hypersensitivity through creams, gels, and other topical applications. With such an easy administering method with CBD-infused substances, the cannabinoid quickly absorbs into the skin while providing higher bioavailability by its aversion of first pass metabolism. Data from published studies imply that topical CBD for arthritis offers remarkable healing relief without any unwanted or detrimental side effects - making CBD a more viable and natural alternative for intense arthritic pain. |

Presidential Politics and American Destiny →
Prons
The fact is that because the Governor of Louisiana and other statewide officers will be elected this year on the year before the President of the United States is elected these elections will not be linked to the mood and will of the country which elects the next President of the United States in the same way that the sates which elect their governors on the same day will be linked to the election of the President. One very significant link is that Governor Bobby Jindal is currently running for President. His candidacy does not seem to be gathering a lot of momentum. But if he does continue to pursue his candidacy he will do so for an entire year after he has been term limited out of the Governor’s office.
Of course even for us who live in Louisiana the closer governor’s election is receiving no more attention than the more distant Presidential race and there is more advertising for the Governor’s race here so far but it is not all that heavy and the message is not driven by the same level of scrutiny and debate. Several newspapers I examined on Friday ,June 21 2015 had almost no mention of the Governor’s race with an October Primary this year. All of them have covered the race many times but on this day they had little. The Daily Advertiser had a prominent editorial cartoon about David Vitter having a zoo custodian clean up the excrement of an elephant representing the state’s budgetary mess — but there was little else in terms of reporting or opinion. The cartoons by La Rochelle are a somewhat independent process I believe. So where does one go for such information? For those who want to access a good primer for the basic facts of the election cycle I recommend clicking here. Reading this post is also a start.
I love Louisiana for all of its faults and I am eager to see the race given its due. Senior United States Senator for Louisiana are the candidates who have made the best showing in the circles I have informally consulted about who is running for Governor of Louisiana. All three of these men are Republicans. Our Open Primary System will weed the field to two if nobody wins an outright majority straight off. There are some other candidates who while they may be less significant contenders in my view may come on as time progresses but most of all together will help to deny anyone the outright majority in the first race. If you click any of the candidates names below you should get some kind of link except Jeremy Odom in whose case the only link I found functioned too badly to be placed here.
The whole slate as far as I know consists of three major contenders in this paragraph and another paragraph with the also rans. The links are not equal or fair but simply links you may find things with Google that I did not find. All the three top contenders are white men: Scott Angelle, Public Service Commissioner, Ex-Lt. Governor & Ex-St. Martin Parish President. Jay Dardenne – Lt. Governor, Ex-Sec. of State, Ex-State Sen., Ex-Baton Rouge City Councilman & Attorney. David Vitter- US Senator, Ex-Congressman & Attorney.
All the remaining contenders are men. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco had the misfortune to have served as Governor of Louisiana when the Monster Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the state. That did in a sense leave people with an impression that the first Louisiana Woman to be Governor had a disastrous tenure in office. However, it may be that she had little to do with the damage caused by these double catastrophies. So here are the other men running Black and White citizens of the Pelican State: Gerald Long– State Sen. & Retired Insurance Agent . . John Bel Edwards– State House Minority Leader, Attorney & Army Veteran. Tony Clayton – Attorney & Southern Univ. Board Chair. Jeremy Odom Baptist Minister, Tax Consultant & Army Veteran.
My mother poses in the square between the elegant buildings built by the Baroness Pontalba a native of Louisiana she is in front of the statue of the Hero of New Orleans who fought the British Empire and become President and the Church of the Sainted Crusader King.
By reason of being a citizen of Louisiana and for other reasons I want to write this post about the connections,s Presidential Elections and the Louisiana Governor’s race. First and foremost the Presidential elections will matter a great deal to the Governor and other citizens of Louisiana. I am not the only one who is very interested in the outcome of both of these contests. But Louisiana does not vote very early in the primaries and it doesn’t have a great number of electoral votes. The clear sense that America continues to evolve in an uncertain and disorganized way as regards its federal structure is evident in our state elections.
The Governor’s role will be shaped by the Federal regime. Barack Obama will still be President when our Governor of Louisiana is elected and a lot may happen in that last year of his tenure. Some things that could happen worry a lot of people. We now have election of Bill Cassidy but one is running for Governor. The connection between the systems is complex enough without referring to Bobby Jindal’snext Governor may have to deal with a massive crisis in the United States which will shape all that he does in office. We remember the BP MACONDO Oil Leak as a great ecological disaster, Katrina as a great natural disaster, Rita the country does not remember but it made Katrina far worse even without counting its own damage and the country remembers the recent Grand Theater shooting in Lafayette. But all those stories were not only Louisiana stories but American stories. We need to see the way the two races are related before we can even begin to make the right choices.
Jindal has raised taxes on smoking, gotten a BP settlement, cut a lot of spending and made some structural changes which arguably make him much more credible as a candidate than he was a year ago. Our budget is less of a mess I believe than it was. But impressions were formed as he launched his campaign and he has never gained back all that much enthusiasm from the home crowd. Perhaps half of Louisiana is very positive about Vitter for what he has tried to do in Washington. I do not think all that many people would say his actual achievements there have been stellar.
So we face a convergence of two processes. We will see how the election of our Governor has small but real effects on the Presidential Race later.

Socks of Chaos is a family game for 2-3 players I created in my study at Denmark's Design School.
All the socks got mixed together in the washing machine so now it's time to pair them. The player that matches the most pairs wins! This game is only a prototype.
Two to four players embark on an underwater expedition in submarines trying to find unexplored and rare sea creatures. In order to win you must discover creatures that are more extraordinary than your fellow explorers. The ocean has strong currents and you must steer your submarine with the flow to find the sea creatures. After everybody has moved their submarines, the ocean currents change! The player with the highest valued sea creatures in the end WINS!
The inspiration for the metaphor came from 20.000 Leagues Under the Seas (1870), written by Jules Verne. For the sea and the sea creature tokens I looked at old maps from a time when beliefs of monsters and extraordinary creatures reigned. I found two maps very fitting, one of Iceland called Abraham Ortelious Islandia, drawn around the year 1590 and the other the earliest map of the Nordic countries known of, called Carta Marina, drawn over a 12 year period in the 16th century . This game is only a prototype.
Samburu is a board game for 2-4 players with a playing time of about 30 minutes. The goal of the game is to maneuver your giraffe in the savannah and be the first one to pick one fruit from each tree. The trick is that your giraffe needs to be the same height as the tree to be able to pick the fruit.
The game is my master project from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. The premise of the project was to combine paper folding techniques and board games. In Samburu the giraffes' necks and the trees are made with a paperfold which can be raised or lowered. The graphics are inspired by the colorful bead-art of the Kenyan tribe Samburu. The game is only a prototype.
In February 2014 I participated in The Nordic Game Jam. Game Jam is an event where you can join a team to make a game in 48 hours.
I made graphics for a team that had an idea for a board game called Hungover. The concept was that you wake up after a night out and don't remember what you did last night but your friends know what you did. Since time was very limited I made the graphics very simple. I then used a provided laser cutter to make all the components and the board. This game is a prototype. |

en | N/A | N/A | CHALMERS A. SIMPSONv.WALMART SUPER STORE, ET45-2009 (Chester County Ct. of Common Pleas). We initially deniedand closed this case, because Plaintiff did nothis action. After Plaintiff filed the requisite account statement, we issued an order notifying Plaintiff that, if his petition were granted, he would still have to pay the $350 filing fee. Our order gave Plaintiff 20 days to notify the Court whether he wanted to proceed and pay the filing fee. Our order also warned Plaintiff that this action cou, even if he paid the filing fee. Plaintiff did not notify the Court in a timely manner that he wished to proceed and this case remained closed. Plaintiff has since filed a "Motion to Proceed With Action and Pay Filing Fees" and a "Motion to Commence Action on New Complaint." We have conducted the screening of Plaintiff's Complaint and proposed New Complaint required by 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e) and 1915A, and for the following reasons grant Plaintiff's," deny his "Motion to Commence Action on New Complaint," and dismiss the Complaint and New Complaint.
Plaintiff maintains that the charge against him arose from a false claim that he committed retail theft at the Walmart Super Store in Parkesburg, Pennsylvania on April 7, 2009. (Compl. Ex. A at 3; New Compl. ¶ 10.) The Complaint and proposed New Complaint allege the following facts. Plaintiff was accused of stealing a charger for his T-Mobile phone that he had purchased, along with other items, and then plugged into a wall outlet near Walmart's cigarette machine so that he could charge his phone. (New Compl. ¶¶ 12-19.) While Plaintiff's phone was charging, he was approached by Walmart employees, Police Officer Smith, and Security Protection Associate Michele Swinty, who accused him of stealing the phone charger. (Id. ¶ 20.) Plaintiff was detained for over an hour, and then released. (Id. ¶ 22.)
Judge Gill held a preliminary hearing, which began on May 28, 2009 and continued on June 19, 2009. (Id. ¶¶ 26, 32.) Plaintiff represented himself before Judge Gill on June 19, 2009. (Id. ¶ 27.) False reports were given to Judge Gill during that hearing, and she ignored Plaintiff's evidence. (Id. ¶¶ 28, 33.) Plaintiff was also denied his right to a pretrial line-up prior to his preliminary hearing. (Id. ¶ 29.) Plaintiff's detention continued at the Chester County Prison following his preliminary hearing. (Id. ¶ 34.)
After Plaintiff's preliminary hearing, his case was sent to Judge Anthony A. Scarciongiven Chester County Court of Common Pleas docket number CR-2445-09. (Id. ¶ 24.)*fn2 Plaintiff filed five motions asking Judge Scarcione to recuse himself because he was biased against Plaintiff, but Judge Scarcione denied his motions. (Id. ¶ 26.)*fn3 Plaintiff was also denied his First Amendment right to have representatives of the media attend his trial and was denied rights, under state law, to access the evidence against him. (Id.) Prior to the conclusion of Plaintiff's criminal trial, attorneys for Palmer, Reifler & Associates, P.A. filed a civil action against Plaintiff on behalf of Walmart, seeking $425.00. (Id. ¶ 25.)*fn4
Plaintiff conteas follows: $5,000,000 from Walmart Department Stores; $100,000 from t; $100,000 from Magisterial District Judge Nancy A. Gill and a constable; $1,000,000 from the Parkesburg Police Department; $100,000 from Police Officer Amber L. Smith; $100,000 from Police Officer Alan Manning; $2,000,000 from the Security Company used by Walmart and its personnel; $1,000,000 from the Coatesville Police Department; $100,000 from Police Officer MacElroy; and $100,000 from each of the John Doe Police Officers.
Plaintiff is a prisoner of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and employees of governmental entities. We are thus required to review his Complaint and proposed New Complaint, "before docketing, if feasible...." See). Four of the Defendants to this lawsuit are not alleged to be officers or employees of any governmental entity. To the extent that we are not required to screen claims asserted against private citizens pursuant to § 1915A, we perform the same review of claims against non-governmental entities, officials and employees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, because Plaintiff filed this action in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A using Walker v. Hensley, Civ. A. No. 08-685, 2009 WL 5064357, at *4 (E.D. Pa. Dec. 23, 2009
Since Plaintiff entered a guilty plea to the charge in case no. CR-2445-2009, he cannot satisfy the favorable termination rule. Consequently, Plaintiff's claims for arrest, the evidence against him, and his trial, which are asserted in the Complaint and proposed New Complaint, are barred by Heck..").thus fail to state any claims pursuant to the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, or Fourteenth Amendments upon which relief may be granted.
We have determined that all of the claims asserted by Plaintiff in the Complaint and proposed New Complaint are based on "indisputably meritless legal [theories]." Roman, 904 F.2d at 194. We conclude, accordingly, that the instant action is frivolous. It is, therefore,b)(1).*fn7 |

en | N/A | N/A | Consider These Programs as Short Term Plans
always look at the No Down Payment approach as a short-term method used to obtain long-term gain.
Always remember that the No Down Payment program is only used to get you into the property. Once you obtain the right property, you will soon be able to refinance to a lower, more affordable rate..
The investor can do this because of the property's appreciation or equity. At the time of purchase, the no down payment program's Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio is 100%; the inverse of the LTV ratio is the down payment, which in this case is zero.
- A $100,000 loan on a $100,000 purchase is an expensive 100% Loan-to-Value (LTV) mortgage loan.
- A $100,000 loan on a $110,000 appraisal value is lower-rate 90% LTV refinance. |

en | N/A | N/A | Five Methods:Exercising to Lose WeightRapid Weight Loss DietsMaking an Eating PlanDoing Weight Loss TreatmentsOther Proven DietsCommunity Q&A
Make time for exercise. Exercising might actually make you gain a few pounds of muscle when you first start, but it's an essential component of any long-term, sustainable weight loss plan. Regardless of how busy you are, it is essential that you make time to exercise each day if you actually want to lose weight and keep it off. Even little things like walking instead of driving to the store can affect how quickly you lose weight.[1]
Take up cardio training. While a combination of cardio and resistance training are important for overall body health, cardiovascular training
For best results, include both moderate and high intensity aerobic exercise.[2]
is what will help you shed those pounds quickly. Weight and resistance training do not lead to immediate weight loss, but can trigger your metabolism to use energy more efficiently.
Do a juice cleanse. This method is also known as the Hollywood diet. There are many different kinds
Most juice fasts last one or two days. Three days is an extreme fast.
of juice cleanses out there. However, the main concept is to only consume juices made from raw fruits and vegetables. The cleanse will remove toxins from your system, helping you lose weight while also making you feel more alert and healthy.[6]
You can either buy a cleansing package from a health store or company online, or you can buy your own juicer.[7]
Some of the most popular cleanse brands include Cooler Cleanse, BluePrint, and Life Juice.[8]
This is an extreme, short-term diet. It is not recommended for healthy, long-term weight loss.
The master cleanse is a liquid-only diet that consists of a “lemonade” (lemon, cayenne pepper powder, maple syrup, and water), a salt-water drink, and herbal laxatives. The diet lasts for 16 days—three days of easing into the diet by only eating raw fruits and veggies, 10 days of the liquid only diet, and three more days easing back into solid foods.
Try the water diet. This diet involves drinking a daily total of about 64 fluid ounces (8 cups) of cold water,
This is not a water-only diet! Continue to eat healthy meals. A water-only diet is dangerous and can lead to later weight gain due to a slowed metabolism.[9]
at regular intervals throughout the day. Drink a glass of water before each meal to suppress your appetite. Doing this will help you get into the habit of limiting the portions of food you consume during each meal. By drinking water, you will feel full before a meal, thus helping you consume less calories.
Try the fasting diet. The idea behind this diet is that our bodies were built to go through both times of feasting and times of famine--as such, we should occasionally recreate the ‘famine’ part. This diet requires that for two days each week, you should only eat 500 (if you’re a woman) or 600 (if you’re a man) calories. On those fasting days, dieters should stick to eating only vegetables, seeds, legumes, and some fruit.[10]
Consider the HCG diet. This is a highly controversial diet that combines injections or supplements of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)
Warning: HCG injections are not supported by scientific evidence, and may be dangerous to your health.[11]
with a severely restricted calorie intake.The calorie restriction alone (only 500 to 800 calories per day) is enough to promote weight loss in most people; it is significantly under the recommended daily calorie allowance, even for people attempting to lose weight. People give themselves doses of HCG via injections or in drop form.[12]
Count calories. Knowing how the minimum amount of calories your body needs to function correctly will help you make your own personalized healthy eating plan and lose weight in a way that's quick but sustainable. Your individual calorie needs will vary based on age, gender, height, and activity level. There are online calculators you can use to determine the amount of calories you should be consuming each day.[13]
The DASH diet, the TLC diet, the Mayo Clinic Diet, the Weight Watchers diet and Volumetrics all provide great meal plans to help you lose weight starting today. Run an internet search on any of the diets and meal plans to find out more.[14]
Keep a food diary. Write down every meal, snack, and drink you consume as well as the approximate quantities for an entire week. Writing down what you consume actually helps us to remain mindful of what we put into our bodies and acts as a motivator to stay healthy. If you can, write down the number of calories that go along with each meal or snack you eat.
Don’t forget to include coffee mix-ins, condiments, and other additions to your daily diet.
Watch your portion sizes. Incorporate appropriate portion sizes into your meal plan.
Stronger flavors can help you control portion size. For example, dark chocolate or a dark beer are satisfying in small amounts, but difficult to consume rapidly.
For instance, a healthy snack of almonds and dried cranberries can turn into a huge calorie source if you don’t pay attention to quantities. Also, preparing pre-apportioned healthy snacks can help you avoid mindless overeating and can make it convenient to grab a healthy snack.[15]
Consider eating vegetarian a few days each week. By replacing meat with nutritious foods like beans, tofu, or lentils, you can cut significant amounts of your daily calorie intake while adding many nutrients to your diet.
Stop drinking sugary liquids. Sip on water, tea, black coffee or seltzer instead of soft drinks, juice energy drinks, flavored coffees, and martinis. Cutting calories with substitutions can be a lot easier than you might think. For example, a tall latte in the morning may pack 500 calories. Since a pound of body fat (lost or gained) is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories, replacing that rich beverage with black coffee can help you lose a pound per week[16].
Drinking water instead of soda, coffee, alcohol, juice, or milk may help you cut hundreds of calories per day. Increasing your water intake can also help your body efficiently use nutrients, keep you energized, get the most benefit from your exercise routine, and feel full longer.
If you can handle substituting water for all other drinks for a week, you can expect faster weight loss and see dramatic improvement in energy levels and even appearance very quickly.
Doing Weight Loss Treatments
People with blood pressure or heart problems should not use saunas, nor should young children.[17]
If you are losing weight for a wrestling or similar weigh-in (a widespread unhealthy practice), go do that before you rehydrate.
Get a lipase body wrap. Lipase body wraps are another quick-slim beauty treatment that follow a two-step phase. First, an enzyme wrap is applied to rid your body of fat tissue near the surface of the skin. A second mineral wrap is then applied, designed to tighten and smooth your skin. [18]
Get a colonic. Some spas offer colonic irrigation treatments, which involve physically flushing your colon
Colonics may be harmful if performed incorrectly, or purely for the sake of weight loss. Talk to your doctor before you decide on this treatment.[19]
with large amounts of water to remove fecal accumulation. This process may help some people who suffer from bloating, gas, and constipation and claims to spur weight loss in some individuals.
Consider liposuction. Liposuction is a surgical option for fast, targeted weight loss, generally only recommended for people with one or two specific areas of highly fatty tissue but otherwise relatively healthy body weight. Because it is a surgical procedure, it carries significant health risks and should only be performed by a licensed professional.[20]
Do the Mediterranean diet. While no diet out there has been proven to work, the Mediterranean diet may come closest. It's based on the traditional ingredients and cooking styles of people living near the Mediterranean sea. Research has shown that people adhering to this diet have reduced risk of heart disease - plus it helps you shed pounds and look lean and trim.[21] Focus on eating the following foods (and eliminate bread, dairy and processed foods):
No artificial sweeteners or grains are allowed.
Some people incorporate intermittent fasting into the paleo diet as well, to speed up weight loss.
Do the Whole30 diet. The idea behind this diet is to eliminate all processed foods from your diet for 30 days to cleanse your system of artificial ingredients and other processed items that are hard on your digestive system. After 30 days, you'll notice a reduced waistline and higher energy levels.[22]
Dietitians warn that a long term raw food diet may leave you without essential nutrients.
The raw food diet consists entirely of foods that have not been cooked. You lose weight by consuming loads of fresh vegetables and fruits. Coconut milk, nuts, seeds and other uncooked foods are also allowed on the raw food diet.[23]
How can a 14-year-old lose 20 pounds without cutting key nutrients, and still keep caloric intake at a minimum?
At this age, you need to focus more on exercising other than dieting. Continue eating proper meals with all the key nutrients. However, cut out all the junk food, including pop drinks, chips, candy etc. And remember, if you want to lose 20 pounds, take it slowly; your body is still changing at such a young age.

Will running make me lose weight?
It depends on your diet. If you are eating more calories than needed a day, then you probably will not lose weight. If you are eating the right amount of calories for your weight and amount of exercise you will lose weight. Walking will give you better results though. You actually burn more calories doing an energized walk than a run.
I can't eat many veggies per day because they really hurt my stomach. What are some healthy alternatives?
Veggies should not hurt your stomach -- try steaming them. Nuts and other natural and unprocessed foods are what you should be eating, even if you are not trying to lose weight. Portion control is the biggest factor in weight loss.
That is an unsafe goal and cannot be achieved. Consult a doctor or registered dietician (NOT a nutritionist) to help devise a good plan for you.

If not and you don't want to draw their attention while working out, you can do things in your room where they won't see what you're up to.
Would any of these change if you are younger?
A diet is not recommended for sub-adults without the guidance of a licensed nutritionist or doctor. Many of these diets cut out important nutrients or otherwise affect the body, and can affect important growth and development.
Lose Belly Fat Quiz
Keep in mind that one mistake doesn't mean you have failed. If you have taken a step backwards, re-center yourself and get right back into the habit of following your plans.
Remember that healthy weight loss takes effort, dedication, and consistency.
No matter what a magazine article says, spot improving is a myth! When your body burns fat, it takes it from all over your body, even if all you do are crunches. No amount of crunches will get rid of that gut if they are not backed up by proper aerobic exercise and diet! Washboard abs do not come from millions of sit ups; they come from having low levels of body fat. So if that is your goal, make sure you do plenty of aerobic exercise in addition to your ab routine.
The healthiest way to lose weight quickly combines a healthy and nutritious diet, proper hydration, and a moderate and varied exercise routine. If you use a fad diet or other rapid weight loss technique to drop a few pounds very quickly, switch after a few days or weeks to a long-term weight loss plan that promotes healthier weight loss to protect your health and promote sustainable weight loss.
Fast weight loss for a specific event may be good temporary motivation, but developing a few specific goals for your long-term weight loss plans is also helpful and may keep you accountable for a weight loss plan after you achieve your initial goal.
Consult a physician or dietitian before adding supplements to your diet plan, as multi-vitamins and supplements are not necessary for everyone, particularly if you follow a balanced diet.

A: The strategy of choosing the most frequent letter in the pool of possible words maximizes the probability of guessing a letter correctly on that specific turn. However, this strategy does not maximize the overall winning probability. @Reinstate Monica's answer demonstrates this fact (which applies for much more than just the hangman game).
Nevertheless, it still is a really good algorithm in terms of speed, simplicity and winning rate. I coded it for Portuguese (my native language) and it seems to guarantee a 97% winning probability within the standard 5 mistakes or less.
A: Choose a letter that divides the remaining valid words in 2 sets of nearly equal size. With positional information there could be more than 2 sets. Repeat until your set has size 1. That is the best way. The proof is left as an exercise.
</s> Q: Is there a way to use a real-world programming language in a MW-template? Since MW-templates tend to get very obfuscated when using the parserfunctions-extension and useless without it, I am curious if there is any extension that would me allow to write templates in a realworld scripting language like PHP, Ruby, Perl, any other? I would preffer Ruby, but if it would even be possible I would be glad about everything else that looks cleaner than parserfunctions...
Of course, whatever scripting language is used, it should really be sandboxed for security.
</s> Q: Divide container into chunks, C++ Given a vector of N elements v = ( 1, 2, 3, 4, ... , N ) return range iterator over all chunks of size K<N. The last range can be smaller than K if N%K!=0.
*for loop - is it needed?
*if you write i+K instead of min(i+K, v.size()) algorithm crushes, one needs to pay additional attention to boundary case. This looks ugly and distracts.
Can you propose more elegant solution?
By elegant solution I mean the use of a general algorithm, build in or provided by commonly used library (such as boost).
const int K = 2;
v += "a","b","c","d","e";

en | N/A | N/A | / The Lady, or the Tiger?
We read this short story, The Lady, or the Tiger? If you've read it before, skip to the fourth paragraph.
Basically, it talks about a princess who loved this peasant boy, and when the king finds out, the boy goes through a "trial". This trail basically consists of "Pick a door, any door. Oh, and one has a savage tiger on the other end... but if you're innocent, God will save you, so...meh." Behind the other door was a girl that he would marry immediately after the trial, if he picked the right door (no way out of this, it's set in stone). This girl happened to be a woman the princess despised with every fiber of her being. So, she knows which door the tiger is behind, and when the boy looks at her as if to say "Which one?" She makes a gesture to her right. No one was aware of the transaction.
But, the story stops right before he opens the right door. And it asks which she chose to lead him to, the Lady or the Tiger.
In class we did a sort of poll to see what we thought she picked... and I have to say, humanity is more fucked up than even I imagined. Four people out of 28 or so people, said that she chose to lead him to the tiger. Umm... what? I didn't even think of that as an option, as even the beginning of a possibility. Remember, that their love was described as passionate, and real. Personally, if I loved someone, I'd rather see him happy, or at least alive, rather than... y'know... torn to pieces by a hungry tiger.
The author never did say what she picked in the end, and he successfully managed to take it to his grave (Even after a sequel, which was equally mindfuck-y). But, he did say that it was a hard decision for her.
Also, I'd like to add, the "mathematical" answer
The Lady and the Tiger: Answer
Here is the answer to the lady and the tiger puzzle: the prince should pick the other door. I 1/3 chance of finding the princess behind it./3.
Don't feel bad if you didnt quite get the answer. Many mathematicians didn't get it right when a version of this problem appeared in Parade magazine in 1990. The answer is a little counter-intuitive. Read on for an explanation.
There are three possible scenarios for the prince from the very start: either the princess is behind the first door (1/3 chance), the second door (1/3 chance) or the 3rd door (1/3 chance). Once the prince picks a door for the first time though, the king then reveals a tiger from one of the other two doors -- so these two unpicked doors collapse into one unpicked door (minus the tiger). The two doors each had a 1/3 chance of having the princess behind them, so together thats 2/3 chance now. Think about it for a bit and it makes sense.
Another way to consider the puzzle is imagine there were 1000 doors, with 999 tigers and one princess. The prince picks one door, and the king then reveals tigers behind 998 of the other 999 doors, leaving the prince with two choices: his original pick, or the one door left out of 999. Clearly, the prince would not want to open his original pick.
An even simpler explanation: Before the King reveals anything behind any of the three doors, there is obviously a 1/3 chance that the prince picks the correct door at the start. Since the King does not do anything to affect what is behind the door that the prince first picked, there must always be a 1/3 chance that the princess is behind this door. Therefore, after the King reduces the number of doors to just two, there has to be a 2/3 chance the princess is behind the other door -- since the probabalities must add to 1.
^ tl;dr (for hidden text): Once again, mathematicians think everything on earth is mathematical sequence and probability, devoid of all emotion... plus they forgot to take into account that there is no third door, so they fail at life.

The sequel was about a prince that asked the same king as before to marry one of his court's wimminz. At first he was like But then he was like "OKAY!" So, he blindfolded him and married him to a random woman, and then lined him up in front of 40 or so girls and said "THAR YOU GO! Your wife is somewhere around here. Oh, and if you pick the wrong one, it's OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! Have fun " So, after awhile, one girl smiled, and one frowned. He realised that one of the two was his wife, and after a minute of thinking, picked the correct bride. The storyteller then said "Now, if you can tell me who he chose, then I will tell you which the princess lead the man to, the lady, or the tiger."
I raged and lol'd at the same time.
