Super-motards are a lot of fun and how could a company which is known for making fun motorcycles stay away from it for long? So here is Ducati's offering in the super-motard class in the form of the Hypermotard.
The 2019 iteration of the Ducati Hypermotard 950 and Hypermotard 950 SP have been unveiled at the Ducati World Premiere just days before the EICMA show. The new-generation motorcycle comes with a plethora of improvements to make it a better package overall. For starters, the weight of the chassis is down by 4kg and the ergonomics have been revised with slimmer seat for better dynamics.
The 937cc Testastretta 11° engine has been retuned to produce 5PS more (115PS) and 80 per cent of the 96.1Nm peak torque output is available from 3000rpm onwards. Keeping the powertrain in check are Bosch Cornering ABS with slide by brake function, traction control EVO, wheelie control and an optional bi-directional quickshifter.
A more premium variant, the Hypermotard 950 SP, comes with a flat seat, long-travel Öhlins suspension for better lean angles, lightweight Marchesini forged wheels and a standard bi-directional quickshifter.

While the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program is still being put together, USDA announced the January 2019 income over feed cost margin was $7.99 per hundredweight (cwt), a mark that would trigger a payment for some producers under the program.
At the time of sign up, producers who elect a DMC coverage level between $8.00 and $9.50 would be eligible for a payment for January 2019. USDA said that a dairy operation with an established production history of three million pounds that elects $9.50 coverage level on 50% of their production could receive $1,887.50.
DMC offers protection to dairy producers when the difference between the all milk price and the average feed cost (the margin) falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer.
USDA and FDA on Thursday released a formal agreement to jointly oversee foods made from cell-cultured meat, detailing a regulatory approach largely supported by cell meat companies, livestock producers and other stakeholders.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) essentially codifies an approach described by the two agencies last November. FDA will conduct premarket consultations, and oversee cell collection, development and production through the time of harvest. Oversight will shift to USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) during the cell harvest stage and FSIS will then oversee the production and labeling of cell-based meat products.
The MOU includes language detailing that both agencies will share information in order to ensure a smooth transfer of regulatory oversight. The agreement covers meat made from cells of livestock and poultry, and FDA retains sole oversight of cell-cultured seafood bar catfish.
Under the MOU, companies would need to comply with FDA requirements, including facility registration, Current Good Manufacturing Practices and preventive controls regulations. As needed, FDA will develop requirements for cell bank and cell culturing facility conditions and take enforcement actions if these facilities are not in compliance.
“HHS-FDA shall not inspect activities solely regulated by USDA-FSIS and shall rely on the USDA-FSIS regulatory process for information regarding such activities,” the MOU said.
USDA plans to conduct inspections in establishments where cells cultured from livestock and poultry are harvested, processed, packaged or labeled that must meet HACCP and sanitation controls. Labels must be preapproved and then verified through inspections, as required by FSIS regulations, the MOU stated.
New Commerce Department data are revealing a sharp increase in the U.S. global trade deficit in goods to $891.3 billion in spite of administration policies, the New York Times says this week.
The Times goes further, stating “a case of textbook economics catching up” with some of the administration’s unorthodox policies. Economists have long warned that the recent tax cuts would “ultimately exacerbate the trade deficit” it has vowed to reduce.
The trade war with Beijing also widened the gap, the Times said. Stiff tariffs on Chinese goods helped slow China’s economy, crimping American exports, which declined nearly 50% in December from the same month a year before.
In December, the overall deficit in goods and services, which includes everything from computers and washing machines to tourism and intellectual property, rose to $59.8 billion—to the highest level since 2008 when the American economy was mired in recession.
Several global economic factors explain the wider deficit, the Times said. China’s slowdown has reduced consumer appetite for American goods, as has slowing growth in Europe. The strength of the dollar in global currency markets has made it cheaper for American consumers to buy foreign-made goods and more difficult for foreign customers to buy American-made ones.
The Times report focuses heavily on the widening gap, which it calls a “particular irony:” By his own metric, the president is failing to right America’s global trading relationships, the Times concludes.
Many observers were not alarmed by the new data. “The stronger trade deficit in the short run is telling you we’re importing more, so it’s not a particular alarming development,” said Lawrence Summers, a Harvard economist who directed the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama.
That is particularly the case with China, which President Trump and many business groups say tilts the balance of power by providing state subsidies, blocking foreign competition and engaging in other unfair tactics. While the Chinese have offered to make large purchases of American products, including soybeans and liquefied natural gas, they have resisted US efforts to force structural reforms with specific dollar targets for the trade balances, arguing that such metrics are largely beyond their control.
For example, the value of China’s currency, which is determined partly by the market and partly by the government, weakened against the dollar last year, blunting the effect of the administration’s tariffs by making Chinese goods even cheaper. The currency began rising again in the fall, as President Xi Jinping of China met Mr. Trump in Argentina late last year to begin hammering out a trade pact, said Brad Setser, a senior fellow for international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations.
“China certainly allowed the market to push the value of the yuan down against the dollar over the summer,” Setser said.
The relative strength of the United States economy is also a large factor in the widening deficit, along with the $1.5 trillion tax cut Trump signed into law in 2017, which accelerated growth last year and which is “helping to swell the federal budget deficit, which Trump pledged to eliminate as a candidate.” However, the most recent Treasury figures showed the deficit widening, and it is on track to top $1 trillion this fiscal year.
Now, Federal Reserve officials and some economists continue to warn that federal borrowing is growing too quickly and will ultimately swamp the American economy, with the United States paying huge sums of interest on the debt, and even diverting funds from social safety net programs like Medicare and Social Security. The Fed chairman, Jerome H. Powell, warned lawmakers at a House hearing last week that the federal debt was on an “unsustainable” path.
Powell was asked during the hearing if he would also say that the trade deficit was unsustainable. “I don’t think I would say that,” he replied.
The debate over trade policy metrics has been going on for some time and is increasingly ensnarling many participants who have favored outcomes—including many of the same groups who now are criticizing the administration for its difficulty in justifying its current policies. The fight seems increasingly bitter, one that likely will continue for the foreseeable future and which producers should watch closely as it persists, Washington Insider believes. | 2019-04-19T18:34:42 | https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/columns/washington-insider/article/2019/03/08/u-s-trade-deficit-grows |

Loss of memory from Alzheimer’s is a big fear for a lot of people – but it’s not the only cause of memory loss. Some memory loss can be combated by methods used to protect ourselves from other diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes.
Get mental stimulation. Brainy activities stimulate new connections between nerve cells and may even help the brain generate new cells. Draw, read, learn and explore new hobbies.
Exercise increases the number of blood vessels that bring blood to the brain and spurs development of new nerve cells. In one study, for every mile a woman walked each day, her risk of cognitive decline dropped by 13 percent.
Improve your diet. Reduced-calorie diets have been linked to a lower risk of mental decline. Also remember your Bs: folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 can help lower homocysteine levels, and high homocysteine has been linked to an increase in dementia.
Improve your blood pressure. High blood pressure increases the risk of cognitive decline.
Improve your cholesterol. High levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol increase the risk of dementia, as do low levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
Avoid smoking. One study said smoking doubles the risk of dementia.
Don’t abuse alcohol. Excessive drinking is a major risk factor for dementia. Limit yourself to two drinks per day if you choose to drink.
Protect your head. Moderate to severe head injuries early in life increase the risk of cognitive impairment.
Build social networks. One study linked frequent social interactions with a 42 percent reduction in dementia risk. | 2019-04-21T16:54:27 | https://www.experthomecare.com/steps-to-fight-age-related-memory-loss/ |

“Weekly Mashup” would be like any other late-night talk show, but with guests who are famous from the social media world, including famous tweeters.
For weeks, Fallon had been talking about buying a trucking, resulting in automakers pitching him their trucks. Ultimately, the Ford F-150 won, and 10 Ford dealers from around the nation are going to compete to sell it to Fallon by placing their hands on an F-150 on an aircraft carrier in New York City.
“F–king douche bag!” she reportedly shouted after confronting Juan Pablo at an Atlantic City Hotel.
VH1 has signed a development deal with the former “Real World” star, which includes a reality show based on her AOL series, which was based on her Twitter feed.
Svetlana Shusterman from the Key West season claims Brandon Boyd is threatening to kill her. But his rep says he has no idea who she is.
“A” was good, but not perfect, says Rob Bricken, “because it was kind of unwieldy and really two stories crammed together as opposed to one coherent whole, but it did have one unified message, and that message was kind of heartbreaking.” PLUS: It demonstrated that Robert Kirkman's vision is a savage hall of mirrors, “The Walking Dead” is at its best when it put morality lessons aside, and a “Talking Dead” viewer recreated the “Love Actually” scene for Andrew Lincoln. | 2019-04-22T12:09:57 | https://uproxx.com/hitfix/amazon-renews-alpha-house-orders-6-new-pilots-including-chris-carters-the-after/ |
Google PlayGround, The Game Center of Android?
The coming week begins Google I/O, the event for developers that will take as absolute protagonist to Android and that many new developments are expected. Among them could be one that we had not counted, and that by the name of Playground.
That nickname appears capitalized on invitation to a talk on May 15 at 9 in the morning (Pacific time), and some media indicate that it could be dedicated to the launch of a new gaming facility for Android You emularía some of the features of the Game Center Apple.
Although everything is hypothesis, the fact is that invitation – actual – effectively targets a release in the field of games with that phrase of its slogan, “Let’s play together” (“Let’s play together”) and which could make reference to that Android games Center, or perhaps just to their evolutions in the expected Ingress augmented reality game, He spoke recently in Xataka Android.
However, the appearance of that Assembly that is reminiscent of “Space Invaders” leave us in doubt. It could be an Assembly, but it also we may have surprises in this sense. Do you think that Google needs a gaming facility of iOS-style? | 2019-04-20T00:41:32 | https://www.communitycollegesinusa.com/google-playground-the-game-center-of-android/ |

Compact and durable enough for travel, it gently lifts the scent of your favorite essential oils into the air to transform the mood of your space. The Connect Diffuser delivers up to 6 and a half hours of continuous runtime. It features a color-changing light and an Essential Oil Starter Kit with three samples.
Connect Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by bbrose from Great for a small room Bought this on sale. Essential oil aroma can be too strong for a small room when you are in it for a long period of time, and uncomfortable for sleeping. This is perfect for it. Only wish that it blows more mist. Note: if you want stronger smell, add more essential oil. We prefer lavender.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AmberD from Love it Got it as a Christmas gift. The samples I got were great. Mist was what I expected. And I really love the color changing lights.
Rated 4 out of 5 by 32jj32 from Works Fine Been curious to try out one of these aromatherapy diffusers so I got this on sale at Canadian Tire. I was expecting a little more mist to come out and despite the essential oil smelling really strong when I was adding it to the tank, you can hardly smell it in the mist. Otherwise, it works as advertised and I really like the colour changing light.
Is the diffuser battery operated?
No. The diffuser need to be plugged into a 120 volt household outlet.
Thank you for your question. You can use any 100% pure essential oil in your diffuser, however please remember other companies oils have not been tested in our diffusers. We would recommend cleaning the unit after every use.
Is it made with medical grade plastic? If not some oils will disintegrate it. What size room is it suitable for?
I personally think... for a small bedroom.
We are sorry to hear this. The instructions can be downloaded from HoMedics.com at the bottom of the home page. If you need further assistance Please call Consumer Relations at 1-800-466-3342.
We love our diffuser! We've only ran it twice since we got it and have noticed that it does leak through the bottom quite a bit. There doesn't look like there is any cracks or damage on the outside or inside. We don't fill past the max line. Tips???
We are sorry to hear this. Please call Consumer Relations at 1-800-466-3342 for assistance.
I love this thing, but eventually the bulb will burn out....what kind of replacement do I need when this happens?
The bulb is a LED so you should never need to replace it.
Does it have automatic shutoff?
Yes, it will turn off when the tank is almost empty. | 2019-04-26T12:37:11 | https://www.homedics.com/spa/ultrasonic-aroma-diffuser-1.html |

Munich-born rapper Ebow has been performing for over a decade, having broken into the male-dominated world of hip-hop as a teenager.
We caught up with Ebow about her musical influences, sharing a stage with other women, and her latest album, “Komplexität” (in English, that’s “Complexity”). To Ebow, this release symbolized a major step in breaking away from the influence of older male figures in the industry. “At a certain point I stopped believing in my own aesthetics, my own style, because people kept telling me that…we should do it differently…I had to think about who I wanted to be surrounded with,” Ebow says. | 2019-04-24T19:45:26 | https://kcrwberlin.com/2018/10/rapper-ebow-on-komplexitat-sisterhood-and-standing-up-for-herself |

Among visceral aneurysms, the splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is the most common, representing 60% of such lesions. There are 400 cases of SAA reported in the literature, 100 of which occur during pregnancy. It is also the third most common site of intraabdominal aneurysms after the aorta and the iliac arteries. Although arterial aneurysms are more common in males, SAA occurs predominantly also in females, , being four times more common, and most of the women are pregnant when the lesion is first discovered. A splenic artery aneurysm is usually single and isolated and is ≤ 3 cm in size, whereas giant aneurysms (diameter ≥ 10 cm) are rare. , It is usually located in the mid or distal portion of the splenic artery, frequently at an arterial bifurcation. The exact prevalence is unknown as most SAAs are asymptomatic, although autopsy reports reveal a prevalence of 0.01-10.4%. They are found incidentally on 0.78% of angiograms ,, and in 7.1% of patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension. Ruptured SAA is not often considered as a differential diagnosis of abdominal pain or, more importantly, in sudden collapse.
A 42-year-old mother of four and 5/12 postpartum, presented to the King Fahad Medical City emergency room with a history of sudden onset of left-sided abdominal pain lightheadedness and repeated vomiting and hematemesis during the last two episodes. She was not on any medication or contraceptives. Her initial vital signs were stable, but a few minutes later, she became hypotensive (BP = 65/50 mm Hg), tachycardiac (HR = 110 bpm), and acidotic (pH = 7.1).
She was resuscitated and stabilized. The results of her initial investigations revealed normal plain X-rays. The complete blood count showed leucocytosis of 22,000 cells/dL3 and Hb = 6.8 g/dL. A spiral computed tomography (CT) of the chest and the abdomen revealed a 1.5-cm SAA about 1 cm from the origin of the splenic artery, a second 1 cm aneurysm in the middle of the artery, and a third larger aneurysm that measured about 4.5 cm at the hilum of the spleen [Figure 1]. No intravenous contrast leak was noted. The celiac axis and splenic arteriograms confirmed the CT-scan findings [Figure 2]. The distal of the two aneurysms were successfully embolized using both an absorbable gelatin sponge cube (Gelfoam) and an intraarterial coil. Because of the position of the proximal SAA, which was proximal to the celiac axis, and because of possible catastrophic complications, it was left alone as it was not the source of the intraabdominal bleeding. The patient remained hypotensive despite aggressive management and therefore, underwent surgery.
A midline laparotomy was performed and supraceliac aortic access was obtained. Proximal control was achieved by double ligation and by the division of the splenic artery close to its origin. A splenectomy was then performed, after which the patient had an unremarkable recovery and was discharged in a stable condition.
Pathological examination showed two intact proximal aneurysms and a ruptured distal aneurysm, the widest measuring 3.5 x 2.1 x 4.5 cm , with an intraluminal thrombus. Microscopic examination (chromatin stain) revealed a very thin wall of the aneurysms and a lack of elastin with a large infracted area. There was no evidence of vasculitis or neoplasm.
Although the rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, it is a very important item in its list of the differential diagnosis, especially when it is associated with hypovolemic shock. This topic was identified by literature searches in Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. The search string (free Text Terms and Medical Subject Headings [MeSH]) for rupture splenic artery aneurysm consisted of a combination of acute pain services, abdominal pregnancies, and splenic artery. The searches were limited to English language journals.
In patients with hilar aneurysms such as the one presented here, coil/Gelfoam embolization is a viable option. If selective catheterization of the aneurysm cannot be performed, embolization of the entire splenic artery is an alternative option. Patients should be alerted to the potential for severe pain from splenic infarction. Our patient underwent embolization of the distal ruptured aneurysm to stabilize her hemodynamics. Unfortunately, she continued to be hypotensive despite aggressive resuscitation. She underwent an open excision of the splenic artery with splenectomy.
Endovascular treatment is an emerging therapy for SAA and other visceral aneurysms with constantly improving results. These minimally invasive endoluminal techniques may offer a distinct advantage to conventional repair. However, because of the relative paucity of visceral artery aneurysms, long-term results are yet to be reported. It offers the potential benefit of maintaining splenic perfusion while excluding the aneurysm, thereby eliminating the risk of rupture or infarction. , The natural history of true splenic artery aneurysms involves the elongation and increasing tortuosity of the vessel. Subsequently, stent delivery to a mid-splenic or distal-splenic artery aneurysm may be technically unattainable. As such, endovascular stent grafting of these lesions may be confined to the proximal splenic artery. Further assessment of this mode of therapy is warranted for the treatment of splenic artery aneurysms. This mode of therapy could not be delivered to this patient because of instability of this patient as well as the presence of three aneurysms in the same vessel; one of which has already ruptured.
A diagnosis of ruptured SAA should be considered in any woman who presents with severe left upper abdominal pain or hypovolemic shock. Successful treatment of SAA requires a high index of suspicion, early recognition, and prompt management. Treatment usually is challenging. However, safe surgical treatment can be applied by a carefully planned approach based on adequate exposure and proximal and distal arterial control.

It's been more than a decade since Eminem's one and only starring role in 8 Mile, and you would be fair to assume his acting career had begun and ended right there. But the erstwhile Marshall Mathers was in the running for years to play the lead role in Antoine Fuqua's boxing drama Southpaw, which, like so many other projects, wound up languishing in development. Now the project has been picked up by the Weinstein Company, and though Eminem isn't technically out of the running, he may be on the verge of being replaced by some of the biggest starts out there.
We’re talking to several other actors that I like a lot. I like Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner. I’ve spoken to Bradley about it; I’ve spoken to Jeremy about it. There are a handful of guys I’d be thrilled to work with. There’s Ryan Gosling. But that process has just begun.
It's hard to know how serious any of these talks are, and the fact that Fuqua simply rattles these names off suggests that there are no actual talks happening-- this is more of a wish list than anything else. And it's also unclear how starry a cast Fuqua can actually muster. His Olympus Has Fallen, with Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart in the major roles, is clearly the second-tier version of this summer's White House Down, starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx. But if Fuqua is hoping to drop these names in order to drum up buzz and get the attention of even more A-listers… well, he's succeeded. Well played, sir. | 2019-04-23T10:05:40 | https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Bradley-Cooper-Jeremy-Renner-Eyed-Replace-Eminem-Boxing-Drama-Southpaw-36097.html |
Atypical chemokine receptor that controls chemokine levels and localization via high-affinity chemokine binding that is uncoupled from classic ligand-driven signal transduction cascades, resulting instead in chemokine sequestration, degradation, or transcytosis. Also known as interceptor (internalizing receptor) or chemokine-scavenging receptor or chemokine decoy receptor. Has a promiscuous chemokine-binding profile, interacting with inflammatory chemokines of both the CXC and the CC subfamilies but not with homeostatic chemokines. Acts as a receptor for chemokines including CCL2, CCL5, CCL7, CCL11, CCL13, CCL14, CCL17, CXCL5, CXCL6, IL8/CXCL8, CXCL11, GRO, RANTES, MCP-1 and TARC. May regulate chemokine bioavailability and, consequently, leukocyte recruitment through two distinct mechanisms: when expressed in endothelial cells, it sustains the abluminal to luminal transcytosis of tissue-derived chemokines and their subsequent presentation to circulating leukocytes; when expressed in erythrocytes, serves as blood reservoir of cognate chemokines but also as a chemokine sink, buffering potential surges in plasma chemokine levels (By similarity).

Also known as Atypical chemokine receptor 2 (C-C chemokine receptor D6) (CCR10-related receptor) (Chemokine-binding protein 2) (Chemokine-binding protein D6).
CCBP2: Receptor for C-C type chemokines including SCYA2/MCP-1, SCY3/MIP-1-alpha, SCYA5/RANTES and SCYA7/MCP-3. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Also known as Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7) (CXC-R7) (CXCR-7) (Chemokine orphan receptor 1) (G-protein coupled receptor 159) (G-protein coupled receptor RDC1 homolog) (RDC-1).
CMKOR1: Receptor for chemokines CXCL12/SDF1 and CXCL11. Does not elicit classical chemokine receptor signaling; chemokine binding does not activate G-protein-mediated signal transduction but instead induces beta-arrestin recruitment, leading to ligand internalization and activation of MAPK signaling pathway. Acts as a scavenger for CXCL12/SDF1 and, to a lesser extent, for CXCL11. Required for regulation of CXCR4 protein levels in migrating interneurons, thereby adapting their chemokine responsiveness. In glioma cells, transduces signals via MEK/ERK pathway, mediating resistance to apoptosis. Promotes cell growth and survival. Not involved in cell migration, adhesion or proliferation of normal hematopoietic progenitors but activated by CXCL11 in malignant hemapoietic cells, leading to phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (MAPK3/MAPK1) and enhanced cell adhesion and migration. Plays a regulatory role in CXCR4-mediated activation of cell surface integrins by CXCL12. Required for heart valve development. Acts as coreceptor with CXCR4 for a restricted number of HIV isolates. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Also known as Atypical chemokine receptor 4 (C-C chemokine receptor type 11) (C-C CKR-11) (CC-CKR-11) (CCR-11) (CC chemokine receptor-like 1) (CCRL1) (CCX CKR).
CCRL1: Receptor for CCL2, CCL8, CCL13, CCL19, CCL21 and CCL25. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. | 2019-04-20T12:28:23 | https://www.mybiosource.com/proteins-family/atypical-chemokine-receptor |

Once in a while you see the publication of a book with a title that is so well chosen that you just have to pick it up. In this case I'd love to talk a little about The Unofficial Middle-earth Monster's Guide written by The Mordor Collective and carrying the subtitle Hunts Hobbits, Hoard Treasure and Embrace Your Villainous Nature. Now that is a cocktail that promises a whole lot of fun!
The Unofficial Middle-earth Monster's Guide offers tongue-in-cheek life lessons inspired by the evil things that lurk in Middle-earth.
Just in time for the second installment of the Hobbit film trilogy, The Desolation of Smaug, this book gives readers insights into the minds and lives of the dragons, trolls, and orcs of Tolkien lore through essays, interviews, and diary entries.
The introduction starts off very good, "Where to begin ...? It was all Morgoth's fault. That's the place to start. I'm not saying our side didn't make some bad decisions - the One Ring may have been one of them, as I think back on it now - but mainly it was Morgoth's doing", and then tells the whole history of Middle-earth as seen from the 'other' (or evil) side: Hobbits, portrayed as the drug lord of the Shire, the story of dwarves and Smaug who ends killing himself over Laketown, The Elves who in a thousand years only come up with lembas and Orcs that accomplish some balance in Middle-earth. The whole book is written in the first person and so we follow the story and get to interview dragons, encounter trolls and see the whole history unfold.
"You're not evil. You're just... misunderstood", we read on the back cover. In The Unofficial Middle-earth Monster's Guide, orcs, goblins, trolls, dark wizards - and one especially articulate dragon - serve as the perfect role models for aspiring evil-doers. "Coveting that corner office? Crush the current occupant with your bloodthirsty Uruk-hai army? Contemplating revenge on a past love? Blast him with a ball of fire? Want that kid's cookie?", this book brings all the answers.
You will find advice on attacking and cooking hobbits, elves, dwarves and pesky white wizards. Read all the philosophies of evil told by several creatures that inhabit Middle-earth: balrogs, orcs, spiders and even squirrels (yes, squirrels). You even get fashion advice and tips on spying, being sneaky and cooking tips. And above all will be laughing from begin to the end of the book.
The Unofficial Middle-earth Monster's Guide is the only compendium of evil you'll ever need to conquer all of life's challenges - and the world!

Ever since I learned how to use Fusion 360 and a desktop CNC machine, I have been a stellar gift giver. Nothing says thank you more than a handmade present. That’s why for this Father's day, I designed and built something my dad could enjoy inside and out of the office. A good way to relieve stress or to unwind after a hard day is to playing ping pong. I challenged myself to create a versatile ping pong kit that is compact and could travel with you wherever you go.
The kit consisted of two primary pieces: the paddles and net holders. Each net holder would clamp to the side of a table of other surface of just about any width or height. Once placed on the table, the net would be wound up using the knob on top. A neat feature about the paddles is that the handle can fold up, leaving it with a minimal footprint.
Before even jumping into Fusion 360, I went ahead and made several sketches of my idea. By doing this, you eliminate the need for an excessive amount of prototypes. This is done in Industrial design to help save money and time when working with a client.
Here, I create a side profile for both the net holder and paddles. This is done by using simple lines, rectangles, and circles. The attached video is a quick tip video on using the sketch palette.
To start, we will use the Press and Pull tool to extrude the faces of the planes we had just created. On the net holder, I added a fillet along the edge to give it a clean look. Also with the net holder, you will get the piece as one body. To separate this, you need to use the Split Body command in the Modify drop down. The video above will help explain this process.
So this is where the process of making these two parts will diverge, and I will let you know which instruction is for which piece.
Net Holder: Create a new sketch on the back of the design for clamp to lock into. We also need to realize that id these pieces are loose, they will not come together properly. Thats why I created two more sketches showing how to add tabs to the design possibly for rubber bands. You will also need to make the bottom piece a bit smaller to fit in the hole you have extruded.
Paddle: After separating the two bodies, copy and move the handle on either side of the paddle. This will allow for a good grip to ensure maximum performance. I also made 2 slots in my design, that allow for the handle to be assembled, and to be folded up to a smaller form. In the negative of this space I created a E shape looking piece to fasten the handle. Finally, you will need to add a 3/4 inch x 3/4 cylinder to secure the two parts of the handle together and allowing it to pivot.
Now that we are all done with the paddle, lets move onto finishing the net holders. As can be seen in the drawing, I needed to create a middle section that can hold the velcro end of the ping pong net. It also needs to spin to allow the user to adjust the net length to their table size.
First, I will offset the opening, and create a top cap for the design. After pulling it, I will create another offset on the bottom of the cap. This dimension will be based on the thickness of your main body. I will then extrude the offset section up into the design to cut the piece.
Start a new sketch on top of the cap and draw a circle in the middle, then cut through the shape.
Next, we will be making a new sketch to revolve. This will be a piece that allows for a similar functionality to a bearing in that it can spin but wont allow the piece to fall out of the cap. Once modeled, make a new sketch on the bottom of the bearing piece. This will be extruded and will need two 1 inch rectangular holes for the velcro straps to slip through.
In the top cap, edit the face to match the bearing. Simply make a convex wall on the cap and a concave sketch. that will be revolved, for the spin piece.
This is optional, but in Fusion, you can add color to your design by dragging in a particular material or appearance. To reflect the classic ping pong theme, I went ahead and chose white and red for the colors of my model.
My desktop machine of choice is Boxzy CNC. It is a versatile 3 in 1 tool that gives you a new level of possibility that didn't exist before in a 3d printer or desktop CNC machine. I used the Boxzy Lab at Techshop Pittsburgh to produce my parts.
I love the project and your documentation! Under appreciated I think, but keep up the good work. Out of curiosity do you work for Autodesk?
Thank you man! I interned at Autodesk this past summer, but I am still passively working on some projects for them. | 2019-04-20T23:39:26 | https://www.instructables.com/id/Fusion-360-Portable-Ping-Pong-Kit/ |

A Zimbra theme is a set of styles, images, and layouts that describe the end-user interface of Zimbra site. Our themes are completely portable and customizable for your community's experience.
The theme includes the body style, the paint color, the layout of the interior, and the dashboard.
The rest of the community (i.e., platform itself) includes the engine, suspension, transmission, and everything else that actually makes the car go.
A theme provides the layout for a general-purpose, Internet-based internal or external community.
A theme can be customized with changes ranging from very simple appearance changes to rewritten widget code. The default theme and its framework have been designed with customization in mind - whether you want to make simple changes that don't require developer knowledge or make large-scale site tweaks as a developer in order to meet precise specifications.
To describe the components of a theme in more technical terms, a theme consists of script files, cascading style sheet (CSS) files, images, and a theme configuration XML describing the default look and feel of the community (as well as any changes to the generic page layout and widget placement). These themes are stored in / filestorage for this release.
If you are upgrading or have upgraded your previous Telligent site to Zimbra Community 8.0, the new release adds the Social theme to theme choices; however, your pre-existing theme will remain in use on the site.
The header widgets are configured through the UI in Zimbra Community 8.0 and appear above the configurable content area. A footer widget is similar to a header widget in that it is configured in the UI, but it renders below the configurable content area of your site. All other content widgets appear within the configurable content area which is configurable through the user interface. Widget configuration articles for each type are located in this documentation section.
All Zimbra Community 8.0 headers, footers, and content presentations included in Zimbra Community 8.0 are implemented using widgets and can be customized in the Control Panel Widget Studio with alternative HTML, CSS, and behavior. Our widgets generally follow the guidelines of this Style/Markup guide.
All style and image inclusions in Community's application themes are defined using CSS, a style-definition language that uses a hierarchy of styling options. CSS enables you to customize the theme without editing its base styles. The standard markup supports CSS targeting, enabling generic and specific styling. All default themes support adding custom CSS styling rules through the theme's configuration page in the Control Panel Dashboard (System Administration > Site Administration > Site Content > Site Theme > Custom Styles). | 2019-04-19T00:18:18 | https://community.telligent.com/community/archive/w/8-user-documentation/39516/about-themes |
Holy toot it’s Thursday afternoon … I’ve changed my outfit 3 times (2x spit up and 1x getting into my running outfit) I’ve also fished cubs outfit 3x … as you guessed cause she spit up! I’m now laying on the ground next to her while she naps and I watch suits.
This morning we went to FM Kitchen for brunch – I’ve been dying to visit this place in like forever! It was too cute, casual, service was amazing and food was deliciously healthy! I couldn’t go without taking a picture with the most adorable wall art in Houston! Right?!
We then stopped by Cantina the B E S T and only place for a decent coffee (trying to be good so passed on the pastries!) it’s rated top coffee spots in Houston just FYI I know where it’s at !
Next stop Houston’s up and coming shopping district in the heart of downtown ‘greenstreet’ – I love ‘make her boutique’ which combines 4 of Houston’s local talent mix of beauty products, jewelry and clothing!
They also have cutest colorful wall… again would be rude not to take picture!
So one more day of maternity leave … how will I spend it? Exploring more of what houston has to offer?!

"Sans élégance de coeur, il n'y a pas d'élégance."
-Yves Saint Lauren, who said it first & best.
I lost my balance as I struggled to take down a string of lights at church. "You would've fallen on your back. And I would've laughed at you." The new acquaintance made me pause and consider the matter, and then I grinned.
"Are you kidding? I would have laughed at myself!"
Yves Saint Lauren. It means, "without elegance of the heart, there isn't any elegance." As much of a cliche as that sounds right off the bat, it's truth. Good manners are just a matter of culture. Fashion is one of my favorite topics, and if I could just map out my life today, I would go work in fashion in New York. Kind of like Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wear's Prada (one of my favorite movies in existence). But again, as much as I love fashion, true elegance is found elsewhere. It is the way we behave with others.
It sounds cheesy. But y'know? Here I am, struggling between cultures in a place where drinking your coffee without your counterpart of the meeting being there is considered rude if they decide they wanted to get theirs with you. True elegance, I've chalked it up to, is knowing when one should just be cheesy.
I'm at ease with myself..I've always been. Sharing with another person, though? No, thanks. I'd rather run sometimes. I'm a passionate person, only insecure about what others perceive since I can pretty much guarantee that the walls are thick and there's no way they can dive in & feel from my brain. But I digress. At one point in time, I was shy. Painfully so. I enjoyed people; no one would know I was introverted or shy around them, but it was the known truth when I found myself in the car on the way home and breathed a deep sigh as I stuck my nose in a book.
Laughter is different; it's the same ease that happens when strangers gather around a table to partake in a meal together, and leave as friends. People laugh, and so they open up. "Why are you so serious?"
Relaxation with at least one or two others is so necessary; if you already live your life like that, I applaud you. So I asked myself the question when I was fourteen years old: "How do I make them feel at ease with me?" I was tired of forging friendships that didn't feel authentic. I had more recently joined my Shakespeare troupe, which I will still name off as a highlight of my life thus far, and longed for connection. With two or three in there were instantaneous "clicks," and are still the only few I happen to keep in contact with since they were and are so dear to me and so formative of my life at the time.
I learned to laugh at myself. It was one of the best lessons of my life thus far. My quirks and shyness melted. It would throw people off, cause them to laugh, and changed the energy in the conversation. The authenticity was so bright it was almost blinding. Because no longer was I afraid of anyone, I also stopped thinking that other people were thinking "about me." Most people, in fact, do not have you in the forefront of their minds (my mum told me for years and I just didn't get it).
"Am I blushing? 'Cause it feels like it!" Human. Honest. Simple. Not everything is a joke or should be taken as one, and so I suppose the point of all this is simply being comfortable with yourself; of course, easier said than done.
I had begun retreating into my shell again recently. Counseling has helped, but that's another story. I'm twenty-something years old, feeling each month and day and passing week this summer already. As people, we fall into the trap of self-consciousness. In the American culture specifically, it has become all about the facade. Perhaps some of the struggle stems from a particular downfall of our modern Western societal take on things — the too much pressure to Become Somebody, to Be the Change You Want to See, to Just Follow Your Dream (along with all the Disney princess music), and not even in just ten years or five or two, but tomorrow. Yesterday. Why, oh why, haven't you accomplished it already?
Progress isn't made in our comfort zones, and it's believable enough to me that things can never become quite as honest as they ought to be without allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. So, friend. If you happen to fall on your backside, I hope you laugh, in grace that you have a place to land. | 2019-04-18T11:14:06 | https://www.imsierramackenzie.com/www.imsierramackenzie.com/comfortandvulnerability |
There are so many hair color trends I'm loving right now, balayage on top of the list, but I haven't made the change yet because like it happens with most hair makeovers, this one requires real maintenance, and I might be too lazy for that right now. But thinking of those of you who have commited to the change, today I'm sharing three expert recommendations on how to take care of your dyed strands to make it last for as long as possible looking healthy.
When you color your hair, it's important to use a color protecting shampoo and conditioner so that the color doesn't fade. You can ask your hairstylist or any professional to recommend the best product according to your hair type and color. Also, stay away from clarifying shampoos and conditioners that will strip the color from your hair a lot faster.
Also, make sure you rinse with cold water. Unfortunately for all of us, washing your hair with hot water can damage it considerably, even if it's not colored. And when it is, the color fades a lot faster, so try to wash it with cold water instead.
Last, but not least, protect your hair from heat. As hard as it sounds, try to limit the usage of hot tools, since heat in direct contact with your hair makes the color fade more quickly. Also, sun rays strip the color when there's direct exposure, so before going out, apply a hair serum with SPF. This will keep your hair more hydrated and shinier.
These are my tips for maintaining dyed hair healthy. Any other tip you could recommend?

That is what it’s like living with a chronic illness; an assorted box of chocolates, each one with a surprise filling and unknown consequences.
It’s like biting into chocolate, thinking the centre will be a delicious gooey caramel, but instead you’re unpleasantly surprised to find the center of yours is empty.
That is what it is like waking up every morning when you have fibromyalgia. You think you know what is in store for the day, but you quickly realize you were mistaken. You have these sweet visions of how your life will be, but then there’s the bitter taste left by chronic illness.
It’s hard describing to healthy, able-bodied people what living with multiple chronic illnesses is like, especially when you’re young. Your friends and peers of the same age are moving forward and enjoying their youth, unhindered by their health. Meanwhile, I’m sat at my laptop typing yet another story inspired by fibromyalgia, chronic migraines and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) flare-ups. My 20s aren’t quite as glamorous or as sweet as others. It’s like comparing rich, decadent, artisan chocolate with a chocolate coin; it’s still chocolate, but it’s not the same quality.
While my friends are going to their jobs each day, partying, traveling and making plans in general, I’m dealing with a mind that is eager and ready to work, but a body that, at times, won’t even allow me to leave the house. It is exhausting and heartbreaking, trying to get yourself ready for work, while running to the bathroom to be sick in-between doing your hair and makeup, and the whole time trying to convince your body to cooperate so you can leave the house.
Unless you have experienced the pain, the fatigue and the sickness, how do you fathom that people deal with this on a permanent basis? How can you explain how desperate you are to be able to wake up each morning, automatically knowing you will be able to go to work that day? How can you make people understand that while they’re enjoying their sweet, caramel-filled chocolate, you’re still here reeling from the shock someone forgot to fill the center of yours?
In the game of life, there are those fortunate to be able-bodied and healthy, and those whose health isn’t 100 percent. But, that’s why they say, “Life is like a box of chocolates, You never know what you’re gonna get.” I just hope those who are fortunate enough to have something tasty appreciate what they have.

ALPHA President and founder, Kingsley Ekweariri writes: " I am thrilled and delighted to be part of this year’s World Trade Organization Business forum in Geneva."
WTO business forum 2018, offered an incredible opportunity to network, connect and partner with delegates from the world’s top policymakers and firmly put our platform at the hands of key decision makers around the world as we seek recognition as Africa largest Industrial business platform and to promote the launch of Africa’s largest Trade, Transport and Energy Summit in Ghana next year October, 2019.
Africa represents what is probably the biggest continent with large infrastructural projects and a wealth of mineral resources. With vast infrastructure projects available in line with the greatest landmass and growing demand for export commodities. Substantial extent for these commodities originates from major industries, procured out of Africa, manufactured abroad and exported back to Africa.
ALPHA was developed because of growing domestic consumer demand, rapidly increasing African infrastructural development and a steady increase in continental trade. With endless logistics opportunities becoming available as Africa places itself squarely at the center of the global value chain, ALPHA is an initiative to connect a vital continent in transition to the heart of the global supply chain market.
As trade and investment activity between Africa and the rest of the world increases, the need for high level and well-informed discussions on the realities and complexities of doing business at this major event is more necessary than ever. There is a huge demand from people outside of Africa to gain accurate insights into how to succeed in what can often be undoubtedly very challenging and difficult trading conditions. Next year, our platform launches an incredible business networking platform called ATTES and the first of its kind in the Africa soil.
The launch will welcome a diverse range of well-informed professionals and is designed to put ALPHA firmly on the world’s map as a new and rapidly developing force, capable of opening up new business horizons and profitable trading opportunities, while founded on the bedrock of expertise, an extensive communications network and high levels of cooperation.
The event will provide a chance to find answers to key questions in relation to doing business in Africa today, to meet and network with influential investors and potential business partners, while rubbing shoulders with those at the heart of current economic growth on a continent that is witnessing a sea change in terms of its trading outlook. | 2019-04-19T10:50:32 | https://www.uswccc.com/news/uswccc-proud-partner-spotlight-alpha-wto-geneva |
Today is a wonderful day for our country, we had a transfer of power from one administration to another that was peaceful and without incident.
It demonstrates that we are the greatest country in the world. There are many parts of the world where this transfer is contentious or occurs under the threat of a gun. Not here.
It was a wonderful day, a wonderful ceremony and a wonderful parade (even though it went quite long).
The one thing that upset me is the members of the audience booing former President George W. Bush when he was introduced at the inaugeration ceremony. Despite your political views or thoughts of the President Bush, he is still the President and deserves the respect of the office.
Very true. Though, to play Devil’s Advocate, while the U.S. inauguration doesn’t occur under threat of a gun, it does occur under scope of a gun. I imagine there were dozens (more?) of snipers scattered throughout the city, keeping watch. | 2019-04-24T08:48:21 | https://milehighsoapbox.com/2009/01/20/20090120a-wonderful-day-for-this-country/ |

Even the most optimistic forecaster would have had a tough time predicting the amount of success U.S. runners would experience in 2009.
But indeed it was a good year, a year with a world championships in Berlin inspiring many top performances and a new sense of American self-worth among distance runners. That was fueled in part by the Olympic medal performances of Deena Kastor and Meb Keflezighi and continued success in the sprints.
The excitement truly began at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games in February. Shalane Flanagan, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, ran 14:47.62 to shatter Marla Runyan’s U.S. 5,000-meter record of 15:07.33 from 2001. She adds the record to her U.S. marks at 3,000 meters indoors and 5,000 and 10,000 outdoors. Next stop, half marathon.
Then back in Boston, new sensation Kara Goucher and veteran Ryan Hall snagged thirds at the world’s oldest continuous marathon in April.
August brought the world championships in Berlin, the focus meet for most U.S. professional track and field athletes. High times for Dathan Ritzenhein (sixth) and young Galen Rupp (eighth) in the 10,000, University of Colorado senior Jenny Barringer (fifth in a U.S. record 9:12.50) in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, and Bernard Lagat just missing gold but nabbing silver in the 5,000 (adding a 1,500 bronze later in the week).
Days later, Ritz went on a blitz, crushing the U.S. 5,000 record at Zurich, nixing Bob Kennedy’s 13-year-old mark. This capped a brilliant performance by the 26-year-old, earning the first U.S. medal at the World Half Marathon Championships and also becoming the second-fastest American all-time on a record standard course behind Ryan Hall.
Then Keflezighi closed a phenomenal year for U.S. distance running by helping America take back New York from the international competition.
Keflezighi, who arguably co-championed the beginning of the return of the American distance runner along with Kastor, ended a 27-year American drought with his victory at the 40th New York City Marathon in November. He earned $200,000, but more important, he had the opportunity to read the “Top 10” list on “The Late Show with David Letterman” and share a float ride with Miss America at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
But looking ahead, it was not just Keflezighi’s win but the fact that American males took places 1-4-7-8-9-10 and American females 6-7-8-10, a throwback to the glory years of the 1970s and early ‘80s.
It also was a great year for ageless American Colleen De Reuck, who at 45 finished eighth in an amazing 2:35 at the Boston Marathon.
It was not such a good year for former Northern Virginia resident Alan Webb, who finally got going to a Nike training program in Portland, Ore., where his longtime critics had advised him to go years ago. Maybe 2010.
It was a mixed year for South Africa’s Caster Semenya, the 18-year-old whiz kid who ran away with the women’s 800-meter final at the world championships. After much drama and emotion, track officials agreed to let her keep the gold medal and prize money she won, but she will have to wait until 2010 to find out whether she will be allowed to continue to compete as a woman. | 2019-04-22T07:03:51 | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/dec/27/on-running-a-red-white-and-blue-ribbon-year/ |

Austrian group Strabag will build a 3.7-kilometer road segment in the Parang mountains, in Western Romania. The new road will be located at an altitude of over 1,500 meters and will connect the hotels and guesthouses in the Parang ski resort.
The investment in this project is over RON 17 million (EUR 3.65 million) and is financed by the Hunedoara County Council through the National Program for Local Development (PNDL). The new road should be finalized in 27 months, according to Adevarul.ro.
The Parang Mountains also have the highest road in Romania, Transalpina, which reaches an altitude of over 2,000 meters. The highest peak in these mountains is Parangul Mare, 2,519 meters high.

The 31st Legislative District is home to the second largest import-export warehousing district on the west coast. Moving forward with the Northwest Seaport Alliance, the marine cargo joint venture of the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, is critical to the shippers and exporters located throughout the 31st District. During the 20 months since we launched the Alliance, we have improved the gateway’s competitiveness and won back cargo and jobs. We need to continue strengthening the Alliance, including finding a new home for Alliance staff that is separate from Seattle or Tacoma. Auburn, which straddles the two counties, would be a good mid-point between the two harbors.
In addition, we have been working to double the economic impact of the cruise industry to Washington State. Part of that strategy is to get visitors to stay longer, see more of the County and spend more money with local businesses. I would like to work with the Auburn Chamber of Commerce and other groups in the 31st to help create opportunities to increase the number of visitors to the 31st, whether it be to attend the Pacific Northwest Scottish Highland Games, stop off for lunch on the way to Mount Rainier or otherwise.
Preserving industrial lands, particularly in north and south Seattle.
Ensuring freight mobility from our seaport and airport to manufacturers and exporters located across our state.
Training the next generation of maritime and industrial workers as the baby boomers age out of the workforce.
In 2014, when the Commission was looking to hire a new port executive, the global shipping industry was in turmoil and we were losing market share (and jobs) at our marine terminals. It was clear that, if we kept doing business as usual the Port would continue to decline. We decided to cast the net wide and look for someone who could bring new thinking to the Port, a change agent who could drive that change through a large, complex organization.
We hired Ted Fick, our first Port CEO from the private sector. He had an impressive resume: 17 years at Paccar followed up by heading a private truck component company in the Midwest. He said all the right things about having grown up in Tacoma and now wanting to come back to the Puget Sound and give back to his community through public service.
Ted’s initial results were excellent. He did drive change through the Port, shaking up an ossified bureaucracy and breaking down silos between divisions (the airport used to operate almost like a separate fiefdom, often ignoring commission policy on labor or small business issues). He hired the most talented executive team that I have seen at the Port, and one that was diverse in thinking and background – our seaport director is the first openly gay woman in the position and our airport director is originally from Jamaica.
Most importantly, he listened to the Commission. When I told him that labor was such a critical stakeholder that he needed to make his labor relations director a direct report (not buried three reporting levels down under the CFO as had been previously) he not only followed my advice, he hired David Freiboth, the head of the King County Labor Council and a forceful voice for labor, as his labor relations director.
However, as time went by, it became clear that Ted did not have the best personal judgment and was not reflecting values appropriate for a public agency director. In early 2014, he got a DUI. He later expensed the $6,000 cost of a port industry party at his house to the Port even though he had previously told me and my fellow commissioners that it was his party and he was paying for it himself. He included himself and the entire executive team in a retention bonus that the Commission approved for a demoralized rank and file staff (he and the executive team ultimately paid it back). And there were other issues.
Serving as Commission President last year, I was responsible for leading the CEO’s performance review. I met with my colleagues to get their feedback and determine whether we should give Ted a critical review and put him on a performance improvement plan or part ways. We ultimately decided the latter and Ted resigned.
We put in place as interim CEO David Soike, a 35 year Port professional and steady hand well-liked by Port staff. Starting the search for a new CEO we are doing something I have advocated for the last 12 years – changing the title from CEO to Executive Director to better reflect our values as a public agency.
I primarily use social media to communicate with constituents, both Facebook (Seattle Port Commissioner John Creighton) and Twitter (jwcreighton3). The Port of Seattle has a strong presence on social media, as well as communicating with King County residents through regular email updates and notices. | 2019-04-26T06:33:42 | https://31stdistrictdemocrats.org/john-creighton/ |

Energy or "life force" is all around us. Everything on the planet is made up of electromagnetic energy vibrating at different frequencies that align with color, light and sound. Many traditions believe that "life force" extends throughout the Universe and each person is part of the whole. Most Eastern philosophies share this common belief of universal spirit and connection. The Chinese refer to this energy as Chi or Prana in Hindu, present in every living thing. The human body is made up of pure energy with an energy field unique to each person. Each of us has a network of energy flowing through our meridians or energetic pathways to maintain good health.
Often stressful times can play havoc on our emotions which can have a profound effect on the body. Both thoughts and emotions are energy, each vibrating at their own frequency. Sometimes emotions can be felt and processed immediately, while others get too intense and remain stuck inside our energy field as emotional baggage. Trapped emotions can occur at any age, can be absorbed from another person or can be inherited. These emotions are often the underlying cause of such feelings as depression, anger, anxiety or low self-esteem.
Energy healing is based on establishing an energetic connection to release emotional blockages or trapped emotions. Energy healing does not diagnose or treat illness or disease. Instead energy healing restores energetic balance, honoring the basic tenet for blissful health. Since our energy fields are part of an interconnected whole, the use of focused intention by one individual can aid the wellness of another. Energy healing resolves old hurts, allows us to let go of the past and to move forward to achieve our goals in all areas of our lives.
How does remote energy healing work?
"Energy knows no barriers of distance. Your intention to heal, and your belief that it can be done make it so. . . Proxy testing works like a cell phone. Our bodies have a built-in capacity to quickly and easily "dial" someone else, and create an energetic connection with them."
-Dr. Bradley Nelson, author The Emotion Code and holistic physician, creator The Body Code.
Energy is truly everywhere and fills up every microscopic space. The connection between the client and practitioner by proxy on Skype or telephone is as powerful as the connection is in person. With permission, the practitioner "becomes" the client being tested and allows their body to be used to benefit the client. Proxy testing is beneficial when someone is unable to be physically present. When the practitioner releases trapped emotions from a client across town, in another city or country, it is a form of remote or distance healing.
Muscle testing is a form of kinesiology to access the subconscious mind in order to evaluate the body's imbalances and to determine its needs. The subconscious mind is a binary holographic computer that catalogs every second of our lives. We can ask "yes" and "no" questions to tune-in and gain accurate information. This is safe and gentle. Our body does not lie and our subconscious knows exactly what needs to be released in order to heal. When I do a session either in-person or remotely, I use muscle testing to communicate with the client's subconscious. This acts as a direct messaging system to release trapped emotions and to find and clear the underlying causes of illness or pain in their bodies. | 2019-04-21T06:31:09 | http://www.blissenergyhealing.com/faq.html |

Ever have a burning passion to learn about disposable coffee cups? Well, look no further. Here’s a brief history.
It’s a Monday. You stayed up until two o’clock last night finishing your homework. You roll out of bed fifteen minutes before class starts, throw on some decent clothes and groggily make a stop at the silver lining for all college students: Starbucks, or The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, or Einstein’s… The distributor is not necessarily important — it’s what they sell. And it has left a mark on your car seats, your favorite t-shirt and Western culture.
For most of us, coffee is a major aspect of our everyday lives. We spend way too much money at our favorite shops and might even depend on the caffeine to function, and yet you have probably never given a second thought to the container of your liquid heaven: the disposable coffee cup.
They are underappreciated, they are always a bit too hot, and there is probably at least one on the floor of your car or forgotten somewhere in your room… but if they didn’t exist, we would have to finish our coffee inside the shop of wherever our drink was purchased. Imagine having to squeeze in to the constantly busy Starbucks at the Student Union to enjoy your beverage. No thank you.
The forefront of the disposable coffee cup’s history starts at the beginning of the 20th century. Thanks to the growth of the temperance movement, plain water had become more and more popular since the end of the Civil War. Whether people drank from the fountains, barrells, wells, and wagons dotted around cities, they passed around a cup of metal, wood, or ceramic. Yes, a communal cup… shared by everyone.
Eventually, more and more Americans began to learn about germs and how they take part in disease. In 1907, Lawrence Luellen — a Boston lawyer and inventor — invented a paper cup that could be thrown away after use. He called it the Health Kup, but five years later changed it to the Dixie Cup, named after a popular line of toys: the Dixie Dolls.
Everything was used and reused before the Spanish flu erupted in 1918.
People began to appreciate the effectiveness of the likes of Dixie Cups. Therefore, disposable cups had rooted themselves into culture and were here to stay.
Disposable cups were not only limited to holding water, of course. People began to use them for hot beverages such as tea and coffee, as well. With the 1930s came a boom of invention for handled cups, given that no one wanted to burn their hands. Sydney Koons invented a handle that attached to paper cups in 1933, and in 1936 Walter Cecil invented a paper cup that came with handles.
William F. Dart and son William A. Dart managed to make use of an expanded polystyrene by manufacturing it into foam cups. Nowadays, Dart Container Corporation makes 70 percent of the world’s foam cups.
Czech immigrant Leslie Buck kickstarted the disposable coffee cups’ focus on aesthetics in 1963, when he designed the blue-and-white-with-bronze-lettering Anthora cup. New York Times declared this particular cup “the most successful cup in history” in a 1995 article.
In 1964, 7-Eleven became the first convenience chain to sell coffee in to-go cups. Beforehand, taking your beverage out of a store was not possible. Think of a cozy coffee shop that plays indie music and is known for their latte art. You probably go there to sit down, enjoy the ambiance and drink your coffee. Before 1964, this was the only option.
In 1967, Alan Frank filed a patent for a tearable coffee lid. By doing so, he finally acknowledged that people tend to drink coffee as they travel. Imagine how many spills occurred beforehand! But maybe we aren’t all dreadfully clumsy.
Innovation of the disposable coffee cup seemed to hit a lull throughout the 70s, with the most exciting development being the pull-back tab on lids.
However, a second movement of disposable coffee cups came in the 80s. Americans were starting to buy less regular coffee and leaned more toward fancy drinks, such as cappuccinos and lattes. To keep the signature frothy crown intact, to-go cups had to come with domed lids that not only kept the coffee hot, but also left room for the foam.
In 1984, the Traveler lid came along, which had a functional lid that left room for foam, a protruding rim that helped cool coffee before it reached the drinker’s mouth, and even a small dip in the middle that prevented the drinker from smashing their nose against the plastic. Yes, smashing their nose. This style of lid is still common today.
During this time, the previously celebrated foam cups had declined in usage, for people had begun to realize their negative impact on the environment. Paper cups made a huge comeback, especially with the decision made by the owner of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, to have their stores carry paper to-go cups as opposed to foam.
In the 90s, more and more people became worried about their safety while drinking their coffee. The downsides of paper became apparent — it was a terrible insulator.
“Consumers began double-cupping their hot coffee, which was not only environmentally wasteful but also cost stores twice as much on as they expected,” Park wrote.
To combat this problem, Jary Sorenson invented the cardboard sleeve in 1991. Meanwhile, paper cup manufacturers developed double and triple-walled cups, which helped improve insulation.
More recently, Think Coffee and Australia’s KeepCup are encouraging the usage of reusable cups, which could bring the history of disposable coffee cups back into the pre-Dixie cup days in a nice circle. But don’t count on it; many believe that disposable coffee cups are here for good.

In Onkyo vs Yamaha receiver comparison Onkyo is a runner-up on a commercial scale because no one can be compared to Yamaha’s popularity. However, Onkyo is a representative of modernity among electronic devices. Yamaha vs Onkyo price range is pretty similar, but Yamaha receivers on a budget have more high-end functions versus Onkyo. However, the Yamaha App is the most complete and the best due to its quick connectivity and it doesn’t lose it when you return to the home screen of smartphone. So, a remote controller is out of use.
Onkyo is an electronics manufacturer that specializes on audio and home cinema equipment. The company’s first name was taken after Osaka Denki Onkyo ("sound harmony") in 1946, but it wasn’t related to Nippon Denki Onkyo, which later became Denon. Currently, Onkyo has bought Pioneer's 'Home Electronics Corporation'. Onkyo Corporation includes the Integra, Integra Research divisions, and Onkyo Corporation by itself. Mainly it manufactures merchandise in Japan, Osaka, but some low-priced models are produced in Malaysia.
Currently, Onkyo produces nine models in the high-end line-up of TX-NR receivers (TX-SR353, TX-NR555, TX-NR656, and TX-NR757) and a new line on a budget. Except for TX-SR353, they all are Dobly Atmos-ready along with DTS:X decoding that gives a more customized sounding with subtle nuances in music sources.
2006 − HT-S990THX was released − the first THX-certified home theater package. Customers finally received theater-quality sound at a reasonable price. Also, in this year a modern X-T1 component system was introduced that had original Onkyo audio enhancement technology.
2007 − TX-SR605 – the first AVR with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio was unveiled.
2009 − TX-SR607 − the first audio-video receiver with Dolby Pro Logic llz surround-sound, which combined two height or two rear surround channels. In this year, Onkyo released the first Windows-certified A/V receiver with Pandora.
20th Anniversary of THX Partnership − the feature-loaded 9.1-channel TX-NR929 A/V receiver was released.
2014 − World’s First Dolby Atmos − a convenient HT-S7700 home theater package at an affordable price presented the object-based audio of high quality, with a speaker system customized to this new format.
2015 − Onkyo and Pioneer amalgamated.
Today Yamaha is a huge conglomerate combining different directions of production, from musical instruments (one of the largest piano manufacturers in the world) to motorcycles that became a separate company in 1955. It is a Japanese company named after a founder that still produces its merchandise at three Japanese factories Kakegawa, Toyooka, and Tenryu.
Yamaha receivers lines are slightly more expensive than others, but they have a plenty of features both in the ‘low’ and ‘high’ priced ranges like stereo sound and Bluetooth in the most widespread Hi-Fi lines R and RX. RX-V777BT in addition, is capable of streaming both on a projector and the TV. RX-V supports Wireless Surround Sound, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio; the RX has Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the HDMI ports for HDR 10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma, and BT.2020 WCG compatibility; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Spotify, AirPlay, Pandora, SiriusXM Internet Radio, and Tidal. ‘Aventage’ line has some noticeable price and feature flaws that dramatically affect its surround sound systems functionality. "10000 Series" has been released to the 100-year anniversary of Yamaha that surpassed in the quality the previous A-2000 greatly; it includes the HCA, CD and DAT, the Mega Direct in the circuit. The latest line is MusicCast 2018 at a high price range. | 2019-04-25T00:59:01 | https://helptochoose.com/compare-av-receivers/yamaha-vs-onkyo |

Pune: Home healthcare, which is in its nascent stages now, is the next big thing in the country.
This is what experts observed while speaking at a panel discussion in the pre-conference symposium of the three-day international conference — SYMHEALTH 2017 — on Thursday.
“Home healthcare is essentially the service of a doctor at your doorstep. Various health parameters such as blood pressure can be checked without leaving home. This comes handy for the patients who are aged or undergoing long-term treatment. Employing this service, time of a specialist as well as that of the patient can be saved,” Rajiv Yeravdekar, gynaecologist and dean of the faculty of health and biomedical sciences at Symbiosis International University, said.
The home healthcare segment, which is currently valued between $2 billion to $3 billion in the country, is expected to be worth $6.21 billion by 2021. However, this growth does not come without challenges.
Anuradha Sunil, chairperson and managing director of Indicare Health Solutions Pvt Ltd, said, “The home healthcare segment comes with challenges too. Primary among these is the perception barrier in the country where a home nurse is looked upon as a maid and even asked to carry out domestic chores,” she said.
Mahesh Joshi, chief executive officer of Apollo Homecare, said a major issue here is accreditation. “There is no standardisation for the segment in India. The accreditation standards are not difficult to chalk out, but implementing them in India will be a challenge,” he said.
The session was chaired by group captain Suchitra Mankar, founder of the Doorstep Health Services. | 2019-04-25T02:03:37 | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/future-bright-for-home-healthcare-segment/58524423 |

Once Owned ONLY By The 400 Wealthiest Families In The World!
Now Available For YOU To Instantly Download!
Chances are if you’re reading this right now it’s because you have been on a mission to find “The Book of Wealth” by Hubert Howe Bancroft…a book you may have just now heard about, am I right?
Maybe you’re like me and you’ve know about The Book of Wealth for quite some time, desired to own it, but you haven’t been able to find it (it’s extremely rare) or afford the hefty price tag that accompanies it if you did indeed come across it.
I first learned of The Book of Wealth in 2005 when I heard Dr. John F. Demartini (One of the Stars of the hit movie, The Secret) talk about it from one of his wealth building seminars.
I was captivated from the moment he mentioned it and the history behind it.
Here’s the “cliff notes” on the book if you are just now learning about it.
Apparently, Mr. Hubert Howe Bancroft wrote this book in 1895. And at the time of its publication, only 400 copies were produced. Each of these copies were then distributed to the 400 wealthiest families on the planet.
That’s right, up until now, the only people who have owned this book are the Ultra Rich…the Global Elite…the ones that some people refer to as “The Illuminati”.
You see, on 21st February 1898, Hubert Howe Bancroft placed this advertisement in the New York Times promoting his infamous 10 volume book. This detailed analysis of wealth creation sold at a cost of $2,500 per copy for the first or cygne noir edition. The second or fin de siecle edition cost $1,000 per copy. By today’s standards, The Book of Wealth would cost a staggering 25 times as much as it did back in the late 1800′s! …adjusted for today’s inflation, this book would cost you almost $63,000!!!
The information revealed within the pages of the rare volumes was not meant to be seen by the everyday man.
For years, the only way to gain access to The Book of Wealth was to be born into one of the wealthy families privileged enough to possess a set of these scarce books.
Passed on from one generation to the next, only rarely did one of these priceless sets of books find its way onto the rare book market, only to be eagerly snapped up at great cost by a savvy collector… most likely himself a person of considerable wealth.
Now, 117 years after the original publication of The Book of Wealth, I’m offering you the opportunity to join the ranks of the privileged few. You’ve been granted a chance to learn the ancient wisdom contained within The Book of Wealth.
The Book of Wealth examines the history of the wealthiest individuals, families, dynasties and empires throughout recorded history. Read their stories. Study their methods. Learn their secrets.
What better way could there possibly be to achieve great things than to model the behavior of the greatest wealth builders throughout history!
As I said earlier, only limited numbers of this rare book were ever published. This naturally increased the scarcity of the book.
Such paucity (or small quantity) has also intensified the mystery surrounding the contents of The Book of Wealth. Whenever copies have come up for sale at auction, there has often been fierce bidding. Despite being first printed in 1895, the vast majority of the public have not had an opportunity to read these wealth building secrets.
Consequently, The Book of Wealth has been confined to the richest individuals and families.
The Book of Wealth was distributed to the world’s 400 wealthiest families. Families like the Rothchild’s, the Rockefellers, the Morgans, the Vanderbilts, the Kennedy’s, the Fricks, the Carnegies, the Fords, etc…the list goes on.
…and you would have to wait for this book to become available on auction, as only 400 copies were ever produced.
And believe me when I tell you…The Book of Wealth RARELY comes up on auction!
Now is your chance to own the book that has brought these families untold amounts of wealth and fortune.
Why Is The Book of Wealth The “Next Big Thing” For You?
The biggest reason why this is your biggest opportunity to build wealth beyond measure is because hardly anyone knows about The Book of Wealth and the wealth of knowledge and wisdom contained in it’s pages.
It is just for the chosen few who find this website.
Building vast amounts of wealth through the Principles taught in The Book of Wealth has never been shared with anyone outside the Global Elite’s Inner Circle.
This book will give you the opportunity to rise in the ranks and become independently wealthy, more powerful and influential. This is the opportunity your lifetime, so don’t let it pass you by.
Now you have all the opportunity to discover the brilliant wealth building strategies contained in The Book of Wealth.
You’ll learn the exact same wealth building strategies used by those who are sitting at the “top of pyramid”.
The ten volumes of The Book of Wealth contain the accumulated knowledge of the ancient wealth builders, going back thousands of years and extending all the way up to the brink of the 20th century.
How and why they did what they did to accumulate wealth.
How they wielded the power that great wealth can bring.
And which of their methods increased their stores of wealth and which behaviors led to the downfall of once-great empires!
Don’t wait another minute. Act Now! …you’ll be glad you did!
Ready for you to download instantly onto your home or office computer so that you, too, can now have unlimited access to the wealth secrets of the ages.
The Book of Wealth is the ultimate product of Hubert Howe Bancroft’s lifelong quest for wealth building knowledge.
The Book of Wealth was originally produced in a very limited edition, and available only to the wealthiest families and individuals around the world, this incredible set goes back through recorded history — beginning with the Sumerians, the Egyptians and Babylonians — and explores the wealthiest individuals, institutions, organizations, religious foundations and nations that have ever built great wealth.
Tracing the creation, acquisition and movement of wealth from the earliest civilizations to the dawn of the 20th Century, The Book of Wealth analyzes what the wealthy did and how they did it. What was their mindset and what was their motivation for accumulating great wealth?
An absolute must have for any person who is interested in building great wealth and power! | 2019-04-22T22:25:19 | https://www.buythebookofwealth.com/ |

We are pleased to be able to provide a further update on the current closure of the Shaky Bridge at Glen Lednock near Comrie.
We propose to undertake a temporary repair using adjustable steel props bearing onto sound parts of the sycamore tree that forms the north abutment of the bridge, and to remove the remains of the old timber A frames which are not required. In addition we have asked our tree surgeon to look at undertaking modest crown reduction to alleviate the stress on the decaying tree trunks. This work is in line with recommendations in Allen Gordon’s engineer’s report incorporating the Council’s Tree Officer’s report, a copy of which is attached for your reference.
The intention is to undertake the works to the tree first then carry out the repairs to the support for the bridge starting on site during the week beginning 6th June. Due to the nature of these works there can be no public access over the bridge during this time, but once complete the bridge will be reopened for public use – all being well by late June. I will advise about actual dates as soon as I have them.
It should be noted that whilst the above works will ensure the bridge remains stable in the short term, it does not remove the risk of damage to the bridge if the tree fails.
For a longer term solution, decisions will need to be taken about removal or significant reduction of the sycamore tree to eliminate the risk of it failing and taking the bridge down with it. The engineer outlines a course of action to allow the tree to be removed and new a new supporting structure put in its place on the north bank. This would allow the existing bridge to be retained for the remainder of its serviceable life. We are aware that removal of the tree will not be popular but feel that needs to be balanced against potential loss of the bridge. As such we would welcome further discussion with the Community Council and other stakeholders and will organise some consultation on that in due course.
As previously noted , whilst the Council have resources to cover the temporary repairs, it is highly likely that the longer term proposals will need to be a partnership project to ensure it happens, involving the community, landowners and Council.
I plan to write in similar terms to the Community Council on Friday so I’d welcome a quick chat before that. I’ll endeavour to call you this afternoon or on Thursday morning. | 2019-04-21T19:09:25 | http://www.comrie.org.uk/shakey-bridge-latest-news-2/ |

It appears EXE-CREATE is coming with a new “Asdivine-type” game. It’s called Sephirothic Stories (セフィロティックストーリーズ), and it’s probably based or connected to Tree of Life in Kabbalah. It’s also a 3D game, so might feel a wee bit new to the players.
I was in a hurry, so I didn’t notice that, but it appears the game will be released in March, so pretty soon.
BTW, the main character’s name is “Happy” (ハッピ), so it really must be a happy game ;).
Unfortunately I don’t have happy news to share… From another site I read that the free version will be a trial version, and will be like old EXE-CREATE games were at some point one had to purchase the full game to be able to continue playing.
It’s time for Maidame Curie! I wonder what she’s going to look like this time around?
It’s great to see they’re going full 3d rather than the battle only stuff they EXE usually does. It seems those guys really want to try new stuff, but are hamstrung by the amount of releases they have to make. I can see it in how they’re paying more attention to the field screen and doing things with movement, even if they’re minor bits of busy work. I’m not expecting Myst style puzzles in my mobile rpgs (I’d play Myst for that), but it’s nice to see them doing more. Skills all being linked to MP is a bummer though. I really liked the BP system in Cross and Hearts.
Nothing wrong with demos I don’t think. I wish more Mobile devs made demos for their games.
I doubt she will be in this game. Whenever Maidame Curie and her sister appear, Kemco’s characters page show us them. This time they are not there, so probably they’re not in the game too.
About demos, maybe You are right, but You also must remember that most of EXE-CREATE games (with some rare exceptions) were free to play (with optional IAP). If this will continue, we might stop getting free games to play, and get only paid games. It’s not something everybody would want to see to happen.
EDIT: Anyway, Yoyaku page states that the release date of this game was moved to April.
Well.. So I might as well consider buying it but only if I’ll like it because the worst thing that can happen is buying something that isn’t going to be touched at all.
Brah, When you become a kemco fanboy, you dont even have to ask which games you should buy. The answer is clear, You should buy them all.
I know but I have bought some games that turned out to be really not for me on consoles.. | 2019-04-19T00:31:05 | https://www.rpginsanity.com/forum/non-english-kemco-games/27480-sephirothic-stories/ |
We were asked to suggest criteria for the restoration of a historic architectural site in order to recover a building from its functional obsolescence and provide it with a new use for the public. Based on this premise, the Old Palacio de la Diputación is transformed to literally express the idea of a sustained dialogue between the historic and the contemporary; a new building within the existing one that becomes a setting for conciliation, social exchange and cultural exhibits.
In order to achieve this, the least valuable part, an addition built in the 60’s, was replaced with a new interior vacant space. A new entrance took the place of the old office complex, with a geometry that allows for a rational floor plan. This operation has generated a series of dualities between the old and the new elements, which substantially enrich the reading and experience of the building. Namely: a second interior volume of similar dimensions to the old patio, which remains covered with skylights; a second staircase of monumental character to reach the first and second floors; a second entrance into the building from the Alfonso XII street, which solves the present lack of accessibility. Three new elements –void, staircase and entrance– combine into one unit for restoration purposes, distributing the spaces for work, offices and a conference room on the new lower level accessible from the Alfonso XII street. The rest of the program requested for the ground floor –temporary exhibits, reading and consultation and reception– is distributed throughout the various rooms that remain intact.
In the area of the Palace being preserved the restoration seeks to introduce a certain unity and simplification of its most important pieces: patio, staircase and rooms. The floor of the patio is raised to the level of the ground floor and its windows become doors. Only the flooring is treated in the remaining rooms and staircase and a dividing corridor between the Palace and the new restoration fulfills the functional modernization of both floors of the building by housing new rest rooms, elevator and support rooms. | 2019-04-21T03:08:15 | http://suarezsantas.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=49&Itemid=51 |
WebGoTravelTop Costa Rica Travel Questions Answered – Why Costa Rica?
Home » blog » Top Costa Rica Travel Questions Answered – What is so Special about Costa Rica?
What is so Special about Costa Rica?
Want to know which is the most puzzling Costa Rica travel question for me? Why is Costa Rica so special and why do I prefer it over other Central American destinations.
Costa Rica is a privileged country boasting of a wide range of flora and fauna, within the borders of this relatively small country every corner oozes with vibrant energy and beauty. If good things come in small packages and so does Costa Rica. I am always amazed at how it is possible that within this small country there is so much diversity.
Just think of it, if you are staying in San José either the nearest beach or volcano is but a two-hour ride. There are not many countries in this world where you can have such a great accessibility to different types of ambiances within a relatively short distance from the capital.
The weather is definitely a plus, yes there are plenty of Central American countries and I have been to a few of them too, however Costa Rica has the perfect weather for me, it is not too hot and it is also not too chilly.
Maybe this is only my experience, one of the main reasons I love Costa Rica is because of the people in general. I have always been greeted with a smile even when they did not understand what I needed or wanted, their intention to help me out was good enough to win me over. I guess Costa Ricans are optimists at heart, don’t get me wrong, they have their hardships in life, however that does not affect their outlook in life.
Somehow every time I visit Costa Rica I feel it is an inner journey that leads me back to my essence, my soul and even my purpose.
For the last couple of years I have been traveling to Costa Rica every chance I get to catch wild waves. My friends think I am already a local and bombard me with questions all the time so I think it is just fair that I get a chance to write about it and share it with you.
How much in advance should you book when you are planning your vacations in Costa Rica?
The answer behind this frequently asked Costa Rica travel question lies in a simple logic: during high season make sure to make reservations at least 3 or four months in advance. If it is the green season you can perfectly reserve with just a month or maybe two in advance. The high season goes from December to April and the green season from May to November. Besides taking note about the season, it is also wise to take note about the local holidays. December and January are months full of cheer and festivities and I would certainly recommend that you book at least 3 months in advance. This same situation will also occur during April, especially during the Easter Holidays as locals will most probably flood to the beaches. The month of July is also a very popular month for locals to travel so make sure to make your reservations early. As for the months of May, June, August, September, October and November you can easily book with just a month or two in advance.
A great tip to make most of offers is to follow your favorite hotels through social media and subscribe to their newsletters so you will always be on their mailing list to receive “Early Bird” offers and other promotions. One of my favorite places is the Best Western Jacó Beach Resort, an all inclusive hotel where I can always relax and forget about practically everything. Jacó beach attracts surfers from around the world year round and it is only a two-hour ride from San José.
Money, money, money, it makes the world go round and although the concept is global the denominations are not. Back in the days traveler’s checks were widely used for traveling purposes, it did take you a visit to a local bank to cash the check and it would also involve some cashing fees.
Thankfully, now all you need to do is to take your debit or credit card with you along with some cash and you are set to enjoy the best that Costa Rica has to offer. Is it really that simple? Yes it is, well at least in Costa Rica. You have no idea how many times I have been asked about this simple Costa Rica travel question. Many of my friends worry if they should carry large amounts of money and if they need to change all of that cash at the first currency exchange they find.
Carrying all your cash is not only unnecessary it is not practical at all and in my experience the best exchange rate is provided by banks. Costa Rica is a very civilized country and chances are that you will be able to use your debit card at most ATM’s and withdraw just the necessary amount of Costa Rican colones for your specific purpose. You will also find ATM’s very accessible and some hotels, for example the Best Western Irazú Hotel & Casino has an ATM at the lobby where you will feel comfortable and protected to make you transactions.
Personally I always carry the amount of around $200 in $20 and $50 notes, you know, just in case you ran out of colones (the Costa Rican currency) and you need to pay in cash. Take note that for security reasons most shops and restaurants will not accept hundred dollar bills.
Just one small word about the currency exchange rate in Costa Rica, most banks will show you two prices, the selling price (venta) and the buying price (compra). When you have US dollars or any foreign currency and you are buying colones, the corresponding exchange rate is the one listed as “compra”. If however you own colones and want to buy US dollars then they will sell you those dollars under the exchange rate listed as “venta”. | 2019-04-24T18:31:49 | http://webgotravel.com/2016/11/15/top-costa-rica-travel-questions-answered-special-costa-rica-2/ |
“air+electricity” examines these two effective media that form the essence of digital and new media art. The undeniable physicality and immediacy of light and sound amplification is realized in this performance – exploring the relation between the physical and immersive nature of light and sound. The technology over technique argument is examined as old and “obsolete” technologies are informed and enlightened by the concepts of the digital age. The mutability of forms, the transformation and filtering of content – the sensibilities of new media, expanded cinema, virtual/digital art are reapplied to the surfaces and spaces from which they came – reactivating existing spaces by moving from the screen and the soundcard to the very room itself through the direct and unmediated deployment of the elements constituting the projection and sound: space, time, texture and form.
Overhead projectionist Katrin Bethge works directly upon the surface of the projector: from still images and overlaid objects, to using substances such as sand, food-materials, oil and water applied to these surfaces in glass basins upon the surface of combinations of projectors .The realtime development of the visual material is paired with the work of sound artist Robert Curgenven who explores the harmonics of the performance space via custom dubplates, turntables, fans and contact mics to manipulate the roomtone in realtime via harmonic feedback. This is underscored by minutely detailed field recordings from Australia’s remotest regions, employing an emphasis on real sounds suffused within a surreal post-architectural expansion of space.
Robert Curgenven (1974) suffuses immense fields of constantly shifting sound with an elegant tactility and mesmerizing detail. His compelling work spans immersive resonances created with turntables and custom-made vinyl, instrumental harmonics and guitar feedback to carefully detailed field recordings from remote areas in which he lived for many years.
Curgenven has performed throughout Australia and Europe, including Club Transmediale , Ultrahang Festival (Budapest), Gallery for Contemporary Art (Leipzig), Feste dell Acqua (Vicenza), C/O Pop (Koln), Alice Springs Desert Festival and Darwin Festival. He has presented sound installations at Transmediale (Berlin), 10 Years of Microsound (Diapason Gallery, New York), galleries throughout Australia, Italy, France, Poland, UK and Germany. His 2010 album, “Oltre”, a documentation of two months of live concerts across Europe in 2009, was announced by Boomkat as “The best LINE/12K release in ages”.
air+electricity has performed widely across Europe, including Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art (Gdansk), Nachtstrom (Basel), Mikro_Makro festival (Slupsk), Radial System V (Berlin), Die Remise Sommercamp (Maria am Ostbahnhof, Berlin), Skam Gallery and Kultwerk (Hamburg) and Lothringer (Munich).
Takahashi’s Shellfish Concern combines abstract expressionist visual art with experimental electronic-acoustic music to accentuate the similarities of both during improvised exchanges. We hope to facilitate an event in which the audience is prompted to consider this merger of music and art as a single expression.
The visual information functions in the space sound has traditionally functioned during instrumental exchanges. Further reinforcing the aural/visual relationship, the canvas is miked, and its sounds are the sole sound source that the musicians may utilize [/manipulate]. This effectively transforms the canvas surface into an instrument, as well as a sound gateway.
Angela Guyton is a Colombian-American artist from Miami now living in Manchester, England. She explores mark-making and sound in combination, within the context of live improvised performance, and performs regularly in her performance art group, Takahashi’s Shellfish Concern. TSC is comprised of herself and two other musicians: Rodrigo Constanzo and Anton Hunter.
Angela and Rodrigo have been performing together, exploring interdisciplinary performance, since late 2004. Anton Hunter joined the duo when they moved to the UK in 2007.
Angela is currently pursuing a MA in Contemporary Fine Art from the University of Salford, and Rodrigo is currently pursing a MA in Electro-Acoustic Composition at The University of Manchester.
This generative, audiovisual work is based on a modified Lorenz attractor, a three-dimensional dynamical system and a model of atmospheric convection. It is implemented in the programming environment Max/MSP/Jitter and during performance, parameters are modified in real-time.
The work as a virtuality, describable through its differential equations alone, is a model of natural-world phenomena that is completely deterministic. In theory, the same performance can be re-actualised by reproducing the same parameters and adjustments unlike many works based on genetic algorithms or stochastics.
However, it is sensitive to initial conditions and seemingly insignificant deviations produce widely and unpredictably differing results; after all, it was through this attractor that the phrase the “butterfly effect” was coined where a butterfly beating its wings may eventually result in a hurricane, but also due to the attractor’s lemniscate-shape. These parameters form a non-linear, multi-dimensional plane, or a manifold in itself, and as such, possibilities of controlling or learning to “play” the piece can be limited and illusory.
A diverse variety of behaviours are observed, ranging from periodicity to chaos. These yield interesting results as audio, either as signal data in nonstandard synthesis or control data such as rhythm, pitch and panning (no pre-recorded samples or conventional oscillators are used apart from sine waves), and as 3D-visuals. Nonetheless, the two domains do not remain mere mirror images of each other due to independent emergent phenomena arising from the system’s inherent complexity.
Ryo Ikeshiro is an electronic and acoustic musician working in the fields of audiovisual composition, improvisation, interactive installations and soundtracks. He gained a 1st Class in BMus (Hons) from Kings College London, and later a MPhil in composition at Cambridge. He is currently studying for a PhD in studio composition at Goldsmiths College. Research interests include the use of chaotic systems in generative, emergent structures and nonstandard synthesis, punk aesthetics in electronic music and new forms of interaction and presentation of works.
Recent projects include: presentation of the paper “GENDYN and Merzbow” at Xenakis International Symposium 2011, London; performance of the generative work Construction in Self and presentation of the accompanying paper “Generative, Emergent, Self-Similar Structures: Construction in Self” at ICMC10, New York; PulseCubes, an interactive sound installation at re:new 2010, Copenhagen; and David Tudor’s Rainforest IV, London. He is a member of ry-om, whose tracks have been featured on Resonance FM; their recent studio project was for Creative Sources Recordings. His orchestral works have been performed by the Britten Sinfonia. As an events organiser, he has started a series entitled ABA where a performance of a work is proceeded by a talk and a discussion with the composer, followed by a second performance of the same piece.
Hydro-Acoustic Study is a live cinematic exploration of sonically activated hydrological events, specifically evolving waveforms, proto-cellular bubbles, and meniscus’s that grow and exhibit behaviour in direct response to sound. Within this simulated rheological environment a hydro-graphic narrative unfolds orchestrated by sound as an organising principle and nourishing substance. The work takes inspiration from a number of scientific studies in the cymatic properties of water. It attempts a speculative inquiry into future possibilities in the study of the effects of sonic frequencies on water.
This piece was originally commissioned by Optofonica Lab, Amsterdam as a collaborative piece with the sound artist Francisco Lopez. It has subsequently been developed as a standalone.
Hydro-Acoustic Study uses a variety of techniques to translate sound directly into visual material – from real-time algorithmic sound analysis methods, such as beat detection and frequency analysis, to direct translation of generative sound mapping to the visual output via OSC (Open Sound Control) and MIDI data transmission.
Paul Prudence is a audio-visual performer and installation artist working with computational, algorithmic and generative environments. His work, which had been shown internationally, focuses on the ways in which sound, space and form can be cross wired to create live-cinematic visual-music experiences. He is also interested in data visualisation techniques, process-based environments and emergent systems.
Paul maintains the research weblog Dataisnature in which he writes about the interrelationships between natural processes, computational systems and procedural-based art practices. Dataisnature has been used on a number of academic course syllabus’s worldwide. Paul has given lectures and workshops to a wide range of audiences and venues – from BA and MFA students to art-science conferences and through to digital arts festivals. He has presented his personal work and his inter-media research at venues such as The Royal Institution and The Science Museum in London, The School of Visual Arts in New York City, and a number of academic institutions in the UK and Holland.
The art of Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) is known for its pure abstraction and ultimate simplicity. It seems so close to music that the artist himself described it with such terms as counterpoint, rhythm, syncopation or harmony. Inspired by musical variation form the video transforms, deconstructs and reconstructs five of Mondrian’s paintings in three movements: Moderato, Lento and Boogie-Woogie.
Fruits and music have a lot in common. Both can be geometric and bright-colored but even when arranged in formal compositions they are never truly abstract. Anchored in visceral sensations, they can evoke emotions or associations of taste and smell. Even the simplest melodies or commonest of berries can make strong impressions. At times, both can be sensuous and juicy.
The installation/performance is a search for traces of Chopin’s music in minds and faces of people from around the world. To carry it out Kapuscinski performed personal concerts for nearly 150 volunteers in places where Chopin is very popular but where he never set foot: Tokyo, San Francisco, Wellington, Sydney, Seoul, Beijing, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Helsinki, Buenos Aires, Santiago and Mexico City. The work is a re-composition of video documentations from these encounters and of Chopin’s Preludes op.28.

Chasing Waves is an audio visual performance based on analog recordings made in the Experimental Television Studio. Simple tones, buzzes and glitches were made visual using voltage controlled video synthesis and commited to miniDV.
Using a proprietary program written in Max/Msp three to four video files, drawn from over 30 hours of recordings, are remixed live into a 30/40 minute performance, with each video played back on a separate part of the screen. When a number of these recordings are juxtaposed, complete with audio, new rhythmic and harmonic, audio visual complexities emerge.
The program allows the playback of any file, in any screen position at variable tempo/ pitch. Material can be looped, pitched dynamically, triggered from any playback position, offering a wide range of performance possibilities and variation.
Paul O Donoghue aka Ocusonic is an Irish composer/ audio visual artist based in Dublin, Ireland. He has released music under a number of pseudonyms for a variety of labels and produced music for television and radio. To date his audio visual work has screened internationally in more than 140 festivals and galleries in over 40 countries.
His current work is entirely audio visual and explores a disparate collection of methods and techniques for the creation of visual music. Underpinning all of these disciplines is Ocusonics, the real-time generation of synchronous audio and visual material.
The work as a virtuality, describable through its differential equations alone, is a model of natural-world phenomena that is completely deterministic. In theory, the same performance can be re-actualised by reproducing the same parameters and adjustments unlike many works based on genetic algorithms or stochastics/probabilities.
However, it is sensitive to initial conditions and seemingly insignificant deviations produce widely and unpredictably differing results; after all, it was through this attractor that the phrase the “butterfly effect” was coined where a butterfly beating its wings may eventually result in a hurricane, but also due to the attractor’s lemniscate-shape. These parameters form a non-linear, multi-dimensional plane or a manifold, and as such, possibilities of controlling or learning to “play” the piece can be limited and illusory.
A diverse variety of behaviours are observed, ranging from periodicity to chaos. These yield interesting results as audio, either as signal data in nonstandard synthesis or control data such as rhythm, pitch and panning (no pre-recorded samples or conventional oscillators are used apart from sine waves), and as 3D visuals. Nonetheless, the two domains do not remain mere mirror images of each other due to independent emergent phenomena arising from the system’s inherent complexity and audiovisualisation methods.

One of the worst mistakes you can make is not having a backup of your database. When something goes wrong, you will be sorry. And the thing about backing up a database is that not everyone knows how to do it. There’s no simple drag and drop a copy and you’re done. Since there is an extra step involved, many people just skip the whole ordeal. Then they lose all of their data when a hard drive dies.
And replace “myusername” with your database user’s name, “mydatabase” with your database name and “thebackupfile.sql” with whatever you want your back to be called. Now you can copy that file somewhere on a different machine to be extra safe from catastrophic data loss.
You can check out how to import the backup, also. | 2019-04-25T22:26:06 | https://magnatecha.com/how-to-backup-mysql-database/ |
PTO can be earned or awarded, depending on the employment contract.
Though most companies do offer vacation time to employees, there is no federal law that states that you must provide it. This means that it's up to your company to create its own vacation policy. You'll have a lot of choices to make, but you should try to offer policies that are similar to other companies in your area. An insufficient vacation policy could send your best employees looking for jobs elsewhere.
You'll need to establish a policy about whether you'll pay for time off or not and when you'll pay for it. Some companies offer separate "vacation" and "sick" days that employees can use throughout the year. Others offer "paid time off," which applies to both sick and vacation days. Most companies will pay for a certain number of vacation days and some may even allow employees to take more days off without pay.
If you've decided to offer paid vacation days, you need to decide how many days you will offer employees. Typically, this works on a tenure system, with employees who have worked at the company receiving more vacation time than those who have just started. A typical vacation plan may look like two weeks the first year, three weeks after the third year and four weeks after five years.
Some companies institute a waiting period--usually 6 to 12 months--before the employee can start to use his vacation time. For example, if you have a 1-year waiting period, the employee will technically accrue his 2 weeks vacation time during the first year, but he cannot take a vacation until his 1-year anniversary. After that, he receives the full 2 weeks and starts to accrue his vacation time every paycheck.
Consider whether you want to allow employees to "roll over" their vacation time. This would allow employees to save up their vacation days in order to take a longer vacation. For example, instead of taking two 1-week vacations during the first year, an employee might decide to take a 3-week vacation halfway through her second year.
You should set a requirement for how much notice your employees must give before they can take a vacation. For example, you might require an employee to submit a request for vacation time at least a month in advance. Vacation time should be awarded on a first-come-first-served basis. If another employee has already requested the time off, you may have to deny the request to the second employee to ensure adequate coverage.
You can also set a policy regarding whether you'll "pay out" vacation time or whether you have a "use it or lose it" policy. When an employee leaves the company, for example, she may have accrued a significant amount of vacation time. You can offer to pay this out as money that she's earned.

When it comes to Going Green there are truly very few home improvements that can out weigh the benefits of solar panels. The Suns light is the greatest renewable source of energy known to man. By allowing your home to draw its energy from the sun you eliminate your dependence on the electrical companies that use mostly fossil fuels to create the energy. Switching your home to Solar power is a wonderful contribution to your environment and a great step forward in reducing reliance upon depleting fossil fuels. The solar energy market has risen a steady 30% a year for the last 15 years and grew by 57% alone in 2007(Global solar center.) The wave of the future is renewable, waste-free solar energy.
Solar panels, although a relatively new product to storm the market, utilize a technology that was revealed in 1839 when a French physicist discovered the photovoltaic effect.
WHY DOES SOLAR MAKE SO MUCH “CENTS” IN AZ?
As someone looking to install a solar energy system in Arizona, you really couldn’t be in a better place. We’re not just saying that – there really is no better state in the country when it comes to the number of sunny days and solar exposure we have. On average, Arizona residents spend 85% of our days under the sun. Our closest competitor, Nevada, only sees the sun for 79% of their days. 3 of the top 5 sunniest cities in the country are right here in Arizona. What does this all of this mean? Well, looking at it from a purely financial standpoint, it means this: The solar energy system you install on a home here in Arizona is going to produce more energy and save you more money than if you installed that same system anywhere else in the country. The return on your investment, or ROI, of solar energy in Arizona is unbeatable and it is simply a function of living in the right place at the right time. Did you know how lucky you are?
SEIA REPORTS: The U.S. Solar industry achieved another record year in 2014, growing by 34% over 2013 to install nearly 7,000 megawatts (MW) of solar electric capacity. Within the photovoltaic (PV) sector, over 6,200 MW of capacity was installed, led by the residential and utility segments, which grew by 51% and 38%, respectively. The concentrating solar power segment enjoyed its largest year ever with 767 MW of capacity installed. Together, the solar industry istalled 32% of all new electricity generating capacity in the U.S. – second only to natural gas. This growth is expected to continue, with an additional 20,000 MW of solar capacity projected over the next two years. | 2019-04-21T11:11:40 | https://www.pesolar.com/solar-panels/ |

A fiesta-like atmosphere engulfed the Multi-Purpose Court (MPCC) last August 25, 2012. It was a Friday night and the student body was ready to kick the weekend off to a great start with Cultura Pilipino. Conceptualized by Cultura, this event is regarded as an annual tradition that students look forward to during the month of August.
Upon entering the event area, the first thing that got everyone’s attention was the band; they were jamming to Filipino songs – the type that makes you want to sit back and reminisce the good old times with your “barkada.” The rest of the night offered an interesting mix of well-loved favorites such as the much awaited boodle feast, traditional Filipino games like pabitin, and a variety of performances. A group performed the Tinikling dance and asked some people from the audience to join them. Another performance was made by Anyo, as well as a student from Mr. Jun Talegon’s Filipino class. Her monologue received a lot of praise from the crowd since it was a modern and creative way of portraying nationalism for our motherland.
The MPCC turned into a runway towards the end of the event. The fashion show showcased Enderun students wearing traditional Philippine garments. Among the models were Michael McDermott, Mara Yee, and Maria Angela Go.
The host of the event, Sheila Garces, concluded yet another successful and signature Cultura event. | 2019-04-24T12:42:13 | https://ink.enderuncolleges.com/2012/09/03/cultura-pilipino-2012/ |

Acute chest syndrome is a complication of sickle cell disease and represents the highest cause of mortality in those afflicted with the disorder. Pregnancy represents an increased risk for complications of sickle cell disease in both the mother and fetus. We present a case of a 20-year-old patient with known sickle cell disease who was at 25-week gestation and developed acute chest syndrome refractory to conventional therapies and requiring emergency cesarean section. Following delivery, the patient developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The patient and infant eventually made full recoveries. This case highlights the importance of aggressive management of ACS and careful monitoring in a pregnant patient.
Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a complication of sickle cell crisis (SSC) defined by radiographic densities, fever, and respiratory symptoms . About 50 percent of patients with sickle cell disease will experience an episode of ACS sometime in their life, which carries a mortality of approximately 4 percent. We present a difficult case of ACS in a pregnant patient causing fetal distress prompting emergency cesarean section and eventual extracorporeal membrane oxygenation due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
A 20-year-old female with a past medical history significant for sickle cell disease (SSD) (unknown genotype) and current pregnancy (G1P0; 25 weeks, 3 days) was admitted for acute sickle cell pain crisis.
Shortly after admission, the patient experienced fever to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, tachycardia to 122 beats per minute, and tachypnea with a respiratory rate of 58 breaths per minute. She remained normotensive with an oxygen saturation of 96%. Physical exam was remarkable for moderate distress and diffuse bilateral pulmonary rales. Laboratory testing was significant for white blood cell count of 53.3 G/L, and differential included 88% neutrophils, 4.5% lymphocytes, 3.3 G/L monocytes, 0.15 G/L basophils, 3+ poikilocytosis, 2+ polychromasia, 1+ Howell-Jolly bodies, and 1+ vacuolated polymorphonuclear lymphocytes with target and sickle cells present. Hemoglobin was 8.1 g/dL, with reticulocyte index of 21.8%. Chest X-ray demonstrated bilateral airspace opacifications, worse on the left (Figure 1).
She was initially treated with exchange red blood cell transfusions, noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, IV fluid resuscitation, broad spectrum antibiotics, and IV pain medications for suspected acute chest syndrome.
Shortly after admission, fetal distress was noted which was attributed to intermittent hypoxia and narcotic effects. The patient developed progressive respiratory acidosis and required emergent fetal delivery and intubation with mechanical ventilation. Despite continued management, the patient required increasing positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) up to 14 and 100%, respectively. She further required manual PEEP maneuvers without improvement. Repeat chest X-ray showed progression of pulmonary opacities (Figure 2) and the decision was made to pursue venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Following cannulation of the right internal jugular vein, ECMO was initiated and ventilator settings were weaned. Over the next several days, she had marked clinical improvement and was successfully extubated and decannulated. She continued to receive supportive blood transfusions to keep HgbS concentration below 30% and hemoglobin above 10, in total requiring 7 units of packed red blood cells. She received a total of 10-day antibiotic therapy and was discharged home on day 12. At present, both mother and son are doing well.
Acute chest syndrome is a sickle cell crisis involving the pulmonary vasculature and tissues. It is characterized by pulmonary densities on chest imaging, fever, respiratory distress, hypoxemia, and chest pain . Acute chest syndrome is the number one cause of mortality among patients with SSD . The mainstay of treatment for acute chest syndrome involves RBC exchange transfusions to remove the irreversibly sickled HgbS and replace it with normal hemoglobin. This reduces the total HgbS concentration, lowering potential for vaso-occlusion. Goals for exchange transfusions include a HgbS concentration of less than 30 percent.
Pregnancy complicates SSD and results in an increased risk of acute pain crises and ACS.
Over 55% of women with SSD will have at least one pain crisis during their pregnancy . Other complications in SSD during pregnancy include hypertension, preeclampsia, venous thromboembolism, and increased risk of cesarean section. Risks to the fetus include intrauterine growth restriction and fetal demise due to placental hypoperfusion . Some have proposed that pregnant women undergo regular blood transfusions in an attempt to prevent acute pain crises. However, in one retrospective study, prophylactic transfusions in pregnant patients with SSD did not improve SSD-related pregnancy complications . More recently, a prospective study demonstrated improved outcomes for mother and baby with prophylactic transfusions . This remains a controversial topic and there are no clear recommendations for or against prophylactic exchange transfusions in pregnancy.
Overall, management of a pregnant patient with ACS remains similar to that of a nonpregnant patient. Antibiotics, pain management, aggressive fluid resuscitation, and, in severe cases, exchange transfusions remain the mainstay of therapy. Potential complications during pregnancy include placental vasoconstriction secondary to opioids and direct placental damage secondary to active sickling . These two factors place the fetus in grave danger of placental insufficiency during an episode of SSC or ACS. Thus, continuous fetal monitoring with EFM is paramount in the management of a patient in acute crisis. EFM and a multidisciplinary team approach in our patient allowed for timely detection of fetal distress leading to intervention which ultimately saved the life of the infant.
ACS progressing to ARDS remains a rare, but life threatening condition. As with any cause of ARDS, early intervention is of utmost importance. One of these interventions is ECMO which provides a means for reversal of hypoxemia and hypercarbia. ECMO will not fix the underlying pulmonary process; however, it provides supportive management, allowing time for resolution of ARDS in situations when mechanical ventilation is inadequate or there is concern for ongoing lung injury secondary to ventilation. Indications for ECMO include severe ARDS plus either a PaO2/FiO2 of less than 80 or pH of less than 7.25 for 3 or more hours despite attempted interventions .
In a gravid patient with severe acute chest syndrome, aggressive oxygenation and exchange transfusions must be performed in order to ensure safety of the fetus and prevent the progression into or worsening of ARDS. Close collaboration of a multidisciplinary team is recommended to achieve the best outcomes for both the mother and fetus. In cases where ACS progresses to ARDS, ECMO and treatment of the underlying problem may improve outcomes.

Hey, I get to be the first response! Just had to catch up on my PigBear status since I’ve been out of town for four days. I thought about you guys when I turned on CNN in the hotel and saw the blizzard in Colorado. Thought of you again while sitting in the airport listening to the boarding announcemenet for a flight to “Huntsville, Alabama”!! Looks like PP had super colossal birthday party; certainly no more than she deserved. I’m lovin’ all the pix, and I agree that May May came thru big time with the threads. Props, yo!
i have the same images…from exactly 6:37…amazing when you compare, isn’t it!
What a Big Girl she is and oh so cute. I wish I could just get on the floor and play with her all day.
Please give her a big kiss for me and a few rounds of Creepy Bug.
Soooooo, sweet!! Love the one with the puckered-up lips. I want Meghan to make me a special outfit…Ha!
Just keep those pictures coming.

Went to see Woody Allen’s ‘Midnight In Paris’ the other day. It was an afternoon showing. Snuck into the cinema after the lights had gone down with a very large sandwich I’d just purchased. Was very hungry after a busy morning and realised I’d have to unwrap the sandwich real fast before the film started. The noise of the sandwich being unwrapped seemed to fill the entire cinema. Suspected that some of my fellow cinema goers wondered whether I was going to be the person with big packet of sweets in plastic bag. The plastic bag that sounded like thick rain on a tin roof every time she dipped her hand into it. Munched on my sandwich determinedly. Thankfully chomping did not make much noise and there was no-one sitting near me. I’d had the sort of dutiful somewhat complex week, with flurries of bureaucracy, that just makes you glad you are sitting down. Sitting down in a cinema. I haven’t been to a film on the big screen for quite a while. Sort of slumped there gratefully. And then the film started and I was transported to Paris. It was a fabulous, evocative film. Very much understood the main character’s sense of nostalgia for another era. Loved the humour and light touches. Fantastic acting. One of Woody Allen’s best. Didn’t even mind that I hadn’t bought a packet of Murray Mints beforehand. I savoured every moment of that film. And was very grateful I’d had a chance to eat my sandwich before it started.
Have only made some brief visits to Paris myself. In my teens, when visiting a boyfriend in France, spent a night in the waiting room of the Gare du Nord. Was awoken by a young man saying “Give me fire”. Realised he wanted me to light his cigarette. Was catching a train very early the next day. A station official asked me and another young woman to come into his office…we were somewhat doubtful about this until he gave us both a glass of Pastis. The last time I visited France I traveled home to Ireland via England. My trip on Eurostar was vastly enlivened by getting into conversation with a very pleasant young French man who told me about his large collection of spiders…I think he even had some in his luggage! | 2019-04-20T13:17:41 | http://www.gracewynnejones.com/midnight-in-paris-and-the-sandwich/ |
A big cheer for our volunteers!
With the start of Volunteers' Week today, our Chief Executive Angela Culhane celebrates the 2,000 men and women who give their time every year to help beat prostate cancer and explains why they're such an important part of the team.
In my time as Chief Executive at Prostate Cancer UK, I’ve met many of our volunteers.
I’ve walked with them, following their footprints during Jeff’s March down the spine of the UK. I’ve worked with them, and used their input to help shape and influence key programmes and activities. I’ve listened to them, heard why they volunteer, and spoken of the tragic loss of partners and loved ones. I’ve marvelled at their individual spirit and collective determination, and witnessed how powerful it can be.
This year, we launched an ambitious new strategy – 10 years to tame prostate cancer – at London City Hall, and asked a panel of experts to discuss in front of an audience how we can make our plans a reality. Having a volunteer on the panel was a no-brainer. Diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2003, Ian Liston has volunteered for Prostate Cancer UK on countless occasions, and his input at our launch – explaining how he had benefited from clinical trials, was one of the highlights of the night.
Volunteers are part of the team at Prostate Cancer UK. It’s that simple. Ask any member of staff what they’re working on at the moment – be it a fundraising event, a campaign, or information development – and the chances are high that a volunteer will be involved somewhere along the line.
We’ve got volunteers who work in our offices, volunteers who collect cheques, support events, raise money, and campaign for change. We’ve got bucket collectors, social media volunteers, photographers, speakers, writers, case studies, literature reviewers, peer support volunteers – the list goes on and on, as does the energy of the 2,000 men and women who volunteer for us every year.
On behalf of everyone at Prostate Cancer UK, I’d like to thank all of our volunteers – past, present, and future – for their support. It may be National Volunteers Week, but we celebrate our volunteers 365 days of the year.
Interested in volunteering with us too? Search for an opportunity that suits you.

So as it turns out, it’s incredibly simple to move to another country. I arrived in Prague on a Friday. I had a job interview on Monday and an offer by dinnertime. I had a second interview that Thursday and yet another job offer before even leaving the office. So there’s only one thing missing: a long-term visa to legally live and work in the Czech Republic.
There are two ways to get into the Czech Republic: the first way is to get sponsored by an employer. This requires you to sign an employment contract for a specific amount of time and apply for an employee card which is tied to that employer. This card gives you the ability to live and work in the country for as long as you are employed by that company.
The second way, the route that I am pursuing, is obtaining a business license and a long-term visa. This allows you to work as a freelancer for a variety of companies and it is valid for one year, with the ability to renew each year. As an English teacher, most of the work available here is on a contract basis and not full-time, which makes this the default option for me. Though another benefit is that you don’t have to hold a full-time job if you don’t want to. You can live here and work remotely in the US. Or you can live here and blow your savings on Czech beer and trdelnik. Whatever floats your boat.
Actually, whether you’re working in Prague or not, you should be having a lot of trdelnik.
A signed affidavit by your landlord certifying that you have a place to live in Prague.
A signed letter from the landlord consenting to use of that address as a business. Though I don’t intend to give English lessons from my apartment, this is still a requirement as a freelancer.
An affidavit signed in front of a notary at the American Embassy in Prague certifying that you have never been charged with a felony in the United States and that you are eligible to apply for a business license in the Czech Republic.
Another affidavit certifying you have never committed a crime that might prevent you from entering the Czech Republic.
A bank letter, which must be translated, indicating that you have sufficient funds to support yourself. What they consider sufficient funds for one year is $6,000.
A letter of intent to hire from a language school (or several) in Prague, which I don’t believe is necessary but helps the process along.
All of these documents have to be original, including the bank letter, which can take a few days to obtain since you’ll have to have it mailed to you in the Czech Republic. The good thing is that all the other forms are basically signatures. The biggest hassle is the affidavit from the U.S. Embassy, but as it turns out that also was not much of a hassle. You make an appointment online, go at your scheduled time, and ask them for the proper form. After you’ve filled it out and paid your fee for the service ($50), you are sworn to the statement on the affidavit and you sign the document. The process took all of 15 minutes including the security clearance to enter the building. And it was nice to talk to another American for a few minutes.
Once you have all the forms and signatures, you need to apply for the visa in person at the embassy in Berlin. This is probably because as part of the Schengen zone, a Czech Republic visa gives you access to move about freely throughout the EU. This also requires an appointment, but unfortunately not one that is easy to obtain. They are booked at least a month in advance. After you get an appointment and you’ve applied, you have a month or two of processing time and your visa will be ready to be picked up from the embassy.
Seems pretty straightforward right? It is. The only problem is… time. I’ve been in the Schengen area for almost a month and a half, which leaves me another month and a half to stay legally before I begin to overstay my 90-day tourist visa. Getting caught illegally carries the risk of a heavy fine, deportation, or a temporary or permanent ban from the entire Schengen area.
Risk it and live as a fugitive immigrant in Prague until my visa is approved, hoping that no one looks at my passport too closely.
I haven’t decided what I intend to do, and if I had, I’m not sure I would publicize it on my blog. But there’s a good chance that in a few months I’ll either be writing about how to successfully overstay your visa in Europe or how I got deported back to the United States. Both of those sound like really great stories, so for the moment, I’m not all that worried about it.
I can’t wait to read the folow up to this post! | 2019-04-20T16:44:45 | https://www.gnometrotting.com/obtain-visa-czech-republic/ |
