Roland Barthes, the French intellectual and semiotician, introduced three levels of mythic language: the denotative level, the connotative or symbolic level, and the ideological level. He believed that the development of mythology, where some particular thing that exists in a specific cultural context develops into something timeless and general, can also be found in pop culture and its products. He called this process of transformation “Mythicization”. By applying this perspective to one of the advertisements of Baedal Minjok, we can see that the brand strategy of Baedal Minjok can be laid out in Barthes’ three different levels of mythic language. Additionally, we will examine how the messages found in the advertisement supports the mythicization of the brand.
Mythicization is very appealing to modern brands. As names like Nike and Hermes, or the Starbucks mermaid symbol show, brands are trying to build a strong association through storytelling or unique imagery in order to become a part of culture, rather than just a product. In the 1960s, Barthes also paid a special attention to advertisements and tried to decode their cultural meanings embedded in deeper level. In “Rhetoric of the image”, he deconstructed an advertisement into linguistic and iconic messages and then uncovered the symbolic meaning (connotative level) under the surface meaning (denotative level). While the fact that Barthes applied these two levels of mythology analysis to advertisements contributes deeply to our understanding of the pop culture, they are not enough when trying to understand the strategies of contemporary brands and their mythicization. Brands now communicate more diverse channels in a bigger and global market. In this highly competitive environment, one well- written ad copy or a famous good-looking model won’t guarantee the same level of cultural impact that Barthes may have witnessed in the past. The messages of brands these days try to permeate our culture in a deeper, more diverse way. That is where the ideological level, the final level that Barthes introduced in the language of mythicization, kicks in. Ideologies are “the belief system within people’s collective conscious” (Dobson “Mythology and Ideology”). The ideological messages in myths and fairytales have a pedagogical function as they pass values and old wisdom on to the listener. The ideological messages of brands help them to stay in people’s awareness and affect their attitudes toward a brand’s product. For example, seeing at the words “Innovative”, “Simple” or “Perfection” many people may instantly think of the brand Apple, and Coca-Cola will be associated with the words such as “Happiness” or “Fun”. In other words, successful brands in contemporary culture contain ideological messages and succeed in making strong associations with those messages in the cultural context.
Korean’s most successful food delivery service, “배달의 민족 (Baedal Minjok, meaning the Nation of Delivery)” is often seen as a modern success story in the Korean business world due to its fast growth. Even though ordering food delivery from home, office, or even from parks or public outdoor places during any time of the day has been a big part of food culture in Korea for a long time, Baedal Minjok, was the first startup in Korea that came up with the idea of acting as a delivery service that connects customers and restaurants (like Grubhub or Seamless in the US) and now is regarded as a symbol of Korean food culture. One piece of evidence for the brand’s impact is the cultural phenomenon of other companies and individuals copying or parodying the brand’s imagery, visual style, and way of storytelling. What makes this brand even more worth investigating for our analysis is its global expansion. Despite of its strong base in localized service and the Korean culture, the company was invested by global investment companies such as Goldman Sachs and is actively expanding to the global market. Just like good stories can be shared and understood across borders and cultures and become a myth over time, brands, like a modern myth, can show us deep understanding of culture and human communications.
The image above shows the advertisement that we will analyze. The linguistic messages shown in the ad are the ad copy: the phrase written in Korean on the left side, “우리가 어떤 민족 입니까” (What kind of nation are we?) and the brand name: the black colored letters written on the metal container, “배달의 민족” (Baedal Minjok — the Nation of Delivery).
Baedal Minjok, the brand name, literally means the nation of delivery. By putting Baedal (Delivery) in the name, it intuitively informs people that the brand is related to a delivery service. If one tries to understand the deeper meaning and origin of the brand name, he or she reaches the connotative level, where contextual interpretation is involved. Putting the word “delivery” and “nation” together implies that the business is targeting the whole nation and it is fully dedicated to the delivery service. Originally, however, Baedal Minjok has been familiar to Korean people in a different meaning — the phrase is originally a colloquial expression for saying the “Korean people” in a sophisticated way (“Baedal” is also the name of the mythic founder of Korea, so Baedal Minjok can be read as Baedal’s Nation). By using a familiar expression as the brand name, the brand achieves not only a sense of humor but also a strong feeling of nationalism. In Korean society, where a single race speaking one language has been regarded as a virtue for many decades, the sense of community and nationalism prevails in people’s collective conscious. This feeling of nationalism is what the brand embraces at the ideological level. The ad copy is a question that leads to an answer, the brand name. It may be seen as a simple format on the denotative level, but on the connotative level, this format puts the emphasis on the brand name and its dual meaning. Moreover, by using the subject ‘we’ and the concept of ‘nation’ in the phrase, it ideologically plays to the patriotism and the connectedness of the viewers.
➊ The scene represents a man riding a horse to deliver food to his customer. The background image is a parody work of a historical mural of Goguryeo Tombs, one of Korea’s UNESCO cultural heritage sites (see Figure 7). The original mural describes the hunting scene of the former ancient kingdom, Goguryeo, where people were known for skillful horse riding and hunting, bravery, and quick in action. This historical background is connected to the word “nation” shown in both linguistic elements mentioned earlier. This historical context of the brand name not only emphasizes its sincerity in achieving high quality of service in the connotative level, but also identifies the brand image with the agility and energy of the ancient culture, representing the ideological level.
➋ Comparing the Baedal Minjok advertisement and the Goguryeo’s mural art painting above, the biggest difference is what the rider is holding in his hands. The bow in Goguryeo culture symbolizes their agility and accuracy that were known for the hunting skills. The ad, through the parody process, replaced the bow to the metal food delivery container (see Figure 6). The metal food delivery container is considered as one of the most symbolic items in the Korean contemporary food culture. Just like a beer mug indicates beer, the color, shape and the size of the metal container in the image is an icon in Korean culture for the delivery food. By putting the brand name “Baedal Minjok” on this iconic metal container image, the ad not only clearly indicates the business type of the company (connotative level) but also symbolizes itself as a part of Korean food culture at the ideological level.
➌ The man who is playing the delivery horseman in this image is the Korean film actor, Seungyong Ryu. He is known for his charismatic and heroic character in many successful Korean films. Therefore, his presence in the ad connoted the message that his personal brand endorses Baedal Minjok. Given the fact that Baedal Minjok was from a small, new startup with comical advertisements, the juxtaposition of a serious actor in a comical pose added additional interest to the ad.
➍ The copy functions not only for the linguistic message but also for the iconic message due to its visual aspect: the font type. The font used in the copy, Hanna, was created for Baedal Minjok. Because of the high attention of the public, the company even shared the font publicly so that anybody could download and use it. The style is chiseled with square shapes but gives a fun impression as it accentuates curves in the letters. The unique look and feel of neatness but fun at the same time support the connoted message of the brand: we are new and fun but our business is reliable. At a deeper level, the font also contains a strong ideological message. Inspired by “the hand-drawing letters used in educational propaganda posters for children in Korean elementary schools” (Kim), the font type was designed to bring a prompt attention from the viewers, like a propaganda, but in a friendly way similar to the educational posters do for young kids (See Figure 7). Due to this motif, the overall advertisement resembles the traditional propaganda posters which encourage patriotism, ideal national characteristics, and community spirit.
Even though these four main elements are “discontinuous and not linear” (Lanir), they are coherently tied to certain messages. On the connotative level, all the elements imply the idea that Baedal Minjok provides fast, accurate and friendly nation-wide food delivery service that can satisfy all the country. While this message can be interpreted as a marketing message for introducing the new business, the ideological level is closer to the collective conscious, especially tied to Korean culture. Each element — the historical motif of the overall image, the symbolic metal delivery food container, the nationally popular actor, and the unique font inspired by Korean education — is linked to the patriotism and the celebration of “Koreanness”.
The coded messages discovered in this image of “What kind of Nation are We?” campaign are continuously reproduced in their further Baedal Minjok campaigns. For example, they released a series of print ads which only feature the actor, the font, and their witty copy (See Figure 8). Furthermore, applying another parody work in the movie poster format, the brand continues to use the font, the actor and the motif of artistic content (with the movie poster replacing the historical painting on the artistic vehicle).
These variations are diverse in format and channels but consistent in messages. In other words, for the brand the ad we analyzed in this paper and its messages became a new doxa, “the rules and regulations of a culture,” (Dobson “Fairytales: From History to Theory.”) and mythicize the brand by applying the their own doxa to their further communications.
With the elaborately executed brand strategy demonstrated in the advertisement we analyzed, Baedal Minjok could be in Korean people’s awareness not only as a high quality food delivery service brand but also as a symbol of Korean food culture that celebrates Koreanness. As a result, Korean people think of Baedal Minjok when they see the words like “national” “connectedness” or “love for Korea” — even though it’s not a national enterprise. When a brand can be remembered in a cultural context beyond its product and its usage, it is mythicized and passes the ideology on to the next generation as a modern myth.

Pursuing a career in biology can be immensely rewarding and exciting. Studying biology teaches us to ask questions, make observations, evaluate evidence, and solve problems. Biologists learn how living things work, how they interact with one another, and how they evolve. Their work increases our understanding about the natural world in which we live and helps us address issues of personal well being and worldwide concern, such as environmental depletion, threats to human health, and maintaining viable and abundant food supplies.
Carleton University Biology graduates are continuously successful at gaining employment in industry, government, and academic sectors.
The degree program is designed to be a qualification in itself and many Carleton graduates take positions in government and industry directly upon graduation. The degree is also an entry point for various graduate (Master’s and Doctorate) programs.
Health care: Biologists in health care may develop public health campaigns to defeat illnesses such as tuberculosis, AIDS, cancer, and heart disease. Others work to prevent the spread of rare, deadly diseases, such as the now infamous Ebola virus. Veterinarians tend to sick and injured animals, and doctors, dentists, nurses, and other health care professionals maintain the general health and well being of their patients.
Primary and secondary schools: Teaching younger students requires a general knowledge of science and skill at working with different kinds of learners. High school teachers often specialize in biology and teach other courses of personal interest.
How can I prepare for a career in biology?
If you are interested in becoming a biologist, there are some things you can do along the way to prepare yourself.
Explore your university options. Deciding where to go to university and what to study can be a daunting task. Research schools of interest. Talk to your guidance counselor, as well as to admissions counselors, faculty, and current students at these schools. There are excellent programs at a wide range of institutions, from large research universities to small liberal arts universities.
Have fun! While studies are important, remember to get out and enjoy yourself as well. Participate in any extracurricular activities of interest: a school club, a science fair, a sports team, or volunteer work. You’ll learn teamwork while developing leadership and social skills, making you stand out not only as a future biologist but also as an individual.
Consider how long you want to be in school. Most life science careers require at least a bachelor’s degree and often an advanced degree, such as a master’s degree. Research jobs typically require a doctorate, which may take five or six years of intense and demanding training.
Ask your professors about part-time jobs. Many professors hire student assistants to help with library, field, and laboratory research. Not only will you earn some money and experience, but you’ll also develop a professional relationship with someone who can give you career advice and write letters of recommendation.
Find summer internships. Internships are a good way to learn about a career, make contacts, and gain experience in biology. Some internships may provide opportunities to do an original research project—a very rewarding experience that will show you how science works and get you thinking about graduate school.
Where are the best university biology programs?
Most faculty members hold PhD degrees and have active, productive research programs. The faculty is an accurate representation of the diversity of biological disciplines: botanists, evolutionary biologists, zoologists, biochemists, cell biologists, ecologists, physiologists, taxonomists, and so on. Either the biology program contains faculty members in diverse fields, or the university has several individual departments that complement each other.
Courses are taught by faculty members, not graduate students.
The institution has an active faculty advisor program and an active career advising/career development program.
The curriculum includes a variety of courses that provide a strong background in the natural and social sciences, humanities, and writing, while still allowing students to pursue their individual interests.
Well-equipped libraries with Internet access to biology journals, and easily accessible computer labs for student use.
Faculty welcome students into their research groups as part-time workers, interns, and research assistants.
Opportunities are available for undergraduates to pursue independent research projects.
There are programs and centers that suit a student’s particular interest, for example, a field station to study ecology, proximity to the coast or a marine station to study marine biology.
Read about the Carleton Advantage.
What is the job outlook for the future?
Job growth is expected in a number of areas, biotechnology and molecular biology in particular. In addition, the number of openings in federal government agencies charged with managing natural resources, such as Environment Canada and Agriculture Canada, is expected to grow. These openings will become available as many senior-level biologists and life scientists retire in the coming years.
A 2003 survey in conjunction with the Abbot and Langer Company found that biologists with less than one year experience have a starting salary of around $35,000 per year. Data from a 2003 US Bureau of Labor Statistics report show that the field of life sciences as a whole has a mean annual salary close to $55,000. As biologists gain more experience and education in their field, those in private industry may earn salaries of over $80,000, while those working in government, academia, and the nonprofit sector earn around $60,000 to $70,000. Those with over 30 years of experience have a median salary of around $103,000. Keep in mind that salaries may vary greatly depending on geographic location, job type, and experience and education.
As you can see, higher salaries are found in private research companies and government agencies, where you may have more job security, advancement opportunities, and independence in your work. While jobs in nonprofit groups or academic institutions may in general have lower salaries, many biologists find great personal reward in working for an organization that is affecting change and has an emphasis on teamwork and collaboration.

If there is one thing I would recommend us to change or improve on this year it’s the battles we choose to fight. We probably don’t realise this but sometimes we pay so much attention to things that really do not add value to our lives. And this is exactly why I want us to focus on battles that are worth fighting, battles that one can someday look back on and think ‘wow I’m a warrior’.
But that is only possible if we become selective of the problems, arguments, and confrontations that we engage in. That’s why it is important to always ask yourself if tackling that particular problem outweighs the costs before engaging into it. That way you can decide if you should fight the problem or abandon it, because not all problems are important.
Truly some battles just don’t hold water and they simply don’t matter especially in the long run. Imagine fighting so hard just to pull another woman down or simply being judgmental about other people’s lives. Encounters with rude people are another. Gossip is another thing – there is no way you want to live your entire life paying attention to what people say about you. For as long as you breathe, people are going to talk about you. These are things that you cannot allow to weigh you down by rather letting them go.
After all, there are many other things worth worrying about. It’s better to concern yourself with your big rocks and Quadrant 2 goals, other than petty problems that have no place in your life. Some problems may seem pressing, but the payoff from addressing them doesn’t outweigh the costs. Battling such problems will only waste your time and energy since the costs outweigh the benefits. This year let’s choose battles where the benefits outweigh the costs.
Instead of getting involved with everything, you save your time only for the important situations, the ones that will give you the best payoff, and the ones where there is a good chance of success. As humans, we also need to remember that we have limited time and energy on Earth and that is why we need to conserve our resources for the things that matter.
It’s all about winning the big war. In life, you are going to face countless problems. Do you want to spend your life battling petty problems that do not make a difference in the long run? Or do you want to battle the big rocks, like carving out your dream career, building your ideal relationship, being financially free, and living the life of your dreams? You need to choose your battles and focus on the big rocks to win the big war of life.
Let’s choose our battles wisely, battles that will help us become better versions of ourselves and battles that will help us put bread on the table. Not every battle is worth fighting. | 2019-04-19T16:31:21Z | https://thepatriot.com.na/index.php/2018/01/19/choose-your-2018-battles-wisely/ |

Would You Spend $100 on a Hot Dog?
As the recession wears on and drags every formerly luxury-appreciative bit of excitement right out of us, things that were formerly considered a bit low-rent are getting polished up and primped with fancy makeovers in response to consumer interest in the accessible.
Food trucks are emerging as a notable alternative to restaurants in big cities, amassing a following like the hip eateries of yore. Cupcakes remain popular, semi-fancy and generally cheaper than a whole cake. And restaurants have done a swift trade in revamping cheapie classics to be a bit more luxurious than their regular offerings, but still cheaper than a fully-posh alternative.
Case in point, the DougieDog Hot Dogs’ Dragon Dog. At $100, this is not a Grey’s Papaya experience. But the Canadian weenie-slinger has put a bit more care and ingredient selection into the Dragon Dog, billed as the world’s most expensive hot dog and unseating a $69 hot dog currently on the menu at New York City’s Serendipity. And while flush diners of the early 00’s might have opted for a $500 steak dinner, this $100 hot dog features Kobe beef, lobster, and $2,000-a-bottle Louis XIII cognac, as well as truffle oil.
Still, dude, it’s a hot dog. And everyone knows you need to eat at least two of those or you get hungry in like an hour. Would you drop $100 on a hot dog, even if it does have lobster and fancy cognac? | 2019-04-24T07:59:51Z | http://www.fortytwotimes.com/427/100-hot-dog-dragon-dog/ |
Until recent years, Calvert County was a rural area with dusty narrow roads, acres of planted fields, and far from everything. Although Southern Maryland was the first part of the original thirteen colonies to be settled by Roman Catholics (as early as 1634), Catholicism in Calvert County had a long and difficult path to follow. By 1706 there were 3,611 people living in our county but only 48 were Catholics.
Father Maurice B. Alexander, pastor of Our Lady Star of the Sea in Solomons, started our parish as a mission in the late 1920’s. In 1937 our Church was built. Following Father Alexander’s death in 1946, a succession of short term pastors served both Our Lady Star of the Sea and the Prince Frederick mission. In 1965, we became an independent parish with 100 families and Father Naughton as our first pastor.
St. John Vianney Parish has progressed from a mission church to a rapidly growing community requiring larger facilities. In 1990, we celebrated our twenty-fifth anniversary. Several years before then we became a tithing parish and through tithing we have witnessed many blessings and a strengthening of our growing faith. God has blessed us with much growth and change.
The son of a small farmer, Jean-Marie Vianney was born near Lyons, France on May 8, 1786. At age 20, he started his studies for the priesthood. During Lent in 1807, Jean-Marie received the sacrament of Confirmation. He chose the Confirmation name "John Baptist" after his favorite saint. Jean-Marie was ordained August 12, 1815.
In 1818, Jean-Marie was made the parish priest of Ars, a small sleepy village France. Today, Ars is known over the world for this priest, a "model of goodness."
For more than thirty years, Ars was a place of pilgrimage for people from all over France. They came and waited two or three days to go to confession to the Curé . They went back home with new courage and hope.
Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney was the parish priest of Ars for forty-one years. He died on August 4, 1859. Eighty six years later he was canonized by Pius XI, and in 1929 he was declared the principal patron saint of parish priests throughout the world.
1903 Rev. John McNamara was named pastor of St. Francis de Sales, Benedict. He served the areas of Benedict, Solomons, and Prince Frederick.
1920 Rev. Maurice B. Alexander became the first pastor of Our Lady Star of the Sea, Solomons. He also celebrated Mass in Prince Frederick until 1938.
1937 The cornerstone was laid for the new church in Prince Frederick under the patronage of St. John Vianney, Patron of Parish Priests.
1938 Mass was celebrated for the first time in the new church.
1965 Archbishop Patrick O’Boyle designated St. John Vianney as a parish and appointed Father Joseph Naughton as the first pastor.
1966 Present rectory was purchased.
1979 Parish Center (Vianney Room) was built.
1990 Parishioners observe the 25th Anniversary of the canonical establishment of St. John Vianney Parish.
1993 New wing on Parish Center was built which contains the parish office, classrooms and a library. The entry foyer was capped with a square cupola to reflect the waterfront areas of our community. It is symbolic of the church’s role in being a guiding light to those who live in the community.
1995 The adult religious education program, Pathways, began.
1996 Christian Beginnings, the parish pre-school, along with a playground was established. A new porch and arbor were added to the Church along with additions to the Church’s Community Room including a handicapped bathroom and a kitchenette.
1997 A Catholic cemetery was established on the Church grounds. The parish assisted with the establishment of a crisis pregnancy center, Birthright, and a homeless shelter, ECHO.
2002 Dedication of new church.
2006 Safe Nights program started.
2007 Completed church basement build out.
2008 Started Nicaragua housing program.
2010 Parish became debt free.
2011 Vianney Room renovation and expansion completed.
2014 Expanded cemetery to area along Main Street with a second columbarium. | 2019-04-24T17:52:51Z | https://www.sjvchurch.net/parish-history |
For for those of you who need specific classroom rules, we will begin the year with the following (very simple) Classroom Code. We can update it as necessary throughout the year.
No drinks or food - except water.
Your letter grade is based on a standard 100 point scale. Additional information related to grading is included below.
No more than 1 unexcused absence.
Students are required to keep a Class Notebook for class notes and assignments. You may use your notebook on all tests/quizzes (unless I tell you otherwise ahead of time), so keeping it up-to-date and organized is a good idea.
Projects will be assigned throughout the class. Assessments will consist of in-class and take-home tests & quizzes.
Assignments (classwork & homework) will typically be given EVERY day. Typically, time will be given in class to complete most, if not all, of your assignment if you use your time wisely. See the HW Rubric & Sample for more details on how HW assignments will be graded.
All work is due on the scheduled date or, in the case of excused absences, consistent with PHS Absence Policy. The only exception to this rule is when a request to complete work at an alternate time has been discussed with me ahead of time. In this case, I will typically be quite flexible.
Students will occasionally use a calculator or computer in this class. Personal calculators/computers are not required but are recommended. If you do not have a calculator/computer one will be provided during class.
You can check out a calculator for overnight use from the library. NOTE: If something happens to the calculator while it is in your care you are responsible for the replacement cost ($90).

Silver Star’s customer email provider has implemented SPF checks to help reduce the amount of SPAM emails that our customers receive.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email validation protocol designed to detect and block email spoofing by providing a mechanism to allow receiving mail exchangers to verify that incoming mail from a domain comes from an IP Address authorized by that domain’s administrators.
Messages that fail SPF checks will be quarantined and they will appear as spoof when viewed in the digest. When you login to the digest, you can see further details by navigating to the messages tab. It will list out which IP’s are not specifically listed in the SPF record that should be added as an exception.
Inside of your personal dashboard, you will see a field entitled SPF Exceptions. If you know the sender to be valid, we encourage you to first reach out to the sending domain and let them know that they are failing SPF checks. The domain administrator should be able to accommodate this request. If that is unsuccessful, you can add the domain/sender to the exceptions list and they will be allowed through.
Please contact the Silver Star Service Center at 877.883.2411 for additional assistance. | 2019-04-21T14:06:09Z | https://www.silverstar.com/spam/ |

Writing with icons (such as emojis) could allow for a storytelling that mixes what’s good about prose (the efficient, denotative communication) with what’s good about comics (the array of visual data) and that regards a computer and digital culture not as a threat but as a necessary tool. It’s only by being willing to change and adapt and evolve that the novel — be it of prose or of comics — can continue to live up to the promise of its name. Xu Bing’s Book from the Ground: From Point to Point is just that. The rarest of novels. One that’s legitimately new.

In this research the production of resistant starch (RS) from normal corn starch using heat moisture treatment (HMT) in combination with ultrasound assisted acid hydrolysis (HMT-USAH) or conventional acid hydrolysis (HMT-AH) was studied. USAH was carried out as follow: starch sample was suspended in 10% citric acid for 45 min at 45 ̊C under sonication (400 W, 20 kHz). AH starch was prepared similarly while no sonication was applied. Subsequently, USAH, AH and native starch were heat moisture treated at 120 ̊C at 30% moisture content for 8 hours. Resistant starch content of starch samples were increased from 8.3% in control sample to 13.2, 21.4 and 36.8 for HMT-native, HMT-AH and HMT-USAH samples. HMT-acid hydrolysis methods reduced the swelling power and gelatinization enthalpy of starch samples while, solubility, oil absorption, emulsion stability and gelatinization temperatures were enhanced. X-ray diffraction results revealed that HMT-USAH didn’t change the diffraction pattern of native starch. | 2019-04-18T10:49:21Z | http://fsct.modares.ac.ir/browse.php?a_id=19960&slc_lang=en |

We flew into Chisinau not really knowing what to expect, and we were pleasantly surprised! The city doesn’t have many highlights, but there are some great restaurants and bars around.
For dinner we went to Gastrobar, a great place serving modern Middle Eastern cuisine, with plenty of veggie options. Make sure to reserve a table in advance. Dinner for two including drinks and tip for 1,000MDL.
We also visited Propaganda, a popular restaurant with quirky decor serving yummy food. A light dinner for two including drinks and top for 400MDL.
Wine: Moldovan wine is amazing and very cheap! Most restaurants and bars have a great wine list and you can find a good selection in supermarkets too.
Stay: We stayed in one of these apartments. It was spotless and ideally located.
One of the few places remaining for us to visit in Europe was Liechtenstein, so we flew into Zurich for the weekend to check it out.
We were really impressed by the food in Zurich. There are plenty of vegan and veggie options clearly labelled in most places. In supermarkets, vegan items are clearly labelled and options are plentiful.
Hiltl Haus: The oldest vegetarian restaurant in Europe is a popular place with a buffet and a la carte options. The food is varied a really delicious. Dinner for two including drinks and tip for 79CHF.
Stay: We stayed at Swiss Star Apartments, a good self-catering option located just 10 minutes from the Central Station.
Vaduz is a small town surrounded by picturesque snow-capped mountains. The main attraction is the walk from the centre up to Vaduz Castle. The castle itself is not open to tourists but the walk gives you the most amazing views.
Kunstmuseum: This modern art museum has a small but good selection of works in a nice space. Tickets for 15CHF.
Go: From Zurich to Vaduz in Liechtenstein the best option is to take a train to Sargans where you can get bus n. 11 to Vaduz. You can buy tickets online here (choose option Vaduz, Post, which includes the bus transfers), about one month in advance.
We were going to visit San Marino, so we decided to spend a couple of days in nearby Rimini.
Rimini is a riviera with sandy beaches overlooked by cool modernist hotels.
The Old Town is beautiful and includes a good collection of Roman and Medieval landmarks. It is also the birthplace of Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini.
For lunch we visited Bar Lento, a cool cafe serving delicious vegan snacks and drinks (lunch for two including tip for 18.50€).
Rimini is definitely a good place to visit and relax for a couple of days!
San Marino was one of the few European countries we hadn’t visited yet, so we decided to check in out in January.
It is located high up in the mountains, giving it amazing views over the region. Unfortunately when we visited the place was right in the middle of the clouds, and we couldn’t even see further than a few metres ahead.
We spent a few hours exploring the narrow roads and visiting the main towers, even without being able to see much.
For lunch, we stopped at Laminona, which serves piadinas and offered a few vegan options.
San Marino is picturesque and I’m sure we would have enjoyed it more on a sunny day!
Go: We flew to Bologna, where you can get semi-frequent buses from the airport to Rimini. You can reach San Marino from Rimini taking a regular bus which departs just outside the train station (return for 10€ per person). The trip takes 50 minutes each way.
This was another year full of adventures!
We kicked off the year with a weekend with friends in Edinburgh.
Then we headed to amazing South Africa for a wedding – we hung out with elephants and enjoyed the breathtaking views.
In March we braved the cold to discover fun Riga.
In April we travelled around Sicily, eating all sorts of treats along the way.
In May we relaxed in sunny Paphos, Cyprus.
Then we headed to Berlin for a weekend full of amazing vegan treats.
I went to Paris for a beautiful weekend of chilling in the sun.
In September we had an adventure in the Balkans: we visited Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania – a great trip!
In October we flew to Barcelona and took the train to Andorra.
I finished the year with Christmas in Rome!
Another year full of amazing adventures!
And I have big plans for 2019: I may actually finish visiting every single European country! | 2019-04-22T04:54:49Z | https://juliaseuropeanadventures.com/author/juliajfb/ |
Practice: Sunday 5.00 to 6.00 followed by service ringing.
1st Sunday at various towers to be arranged, 3rd Sunday at Plymouth Emmanuel.
We are a society which was formed in early 2011 of young ringers aged 30 and under who ring in the Plymouth area.
The Society is now thriving with members aged 6 to 28, who meet every other week on a Sunday evening at one of the towers in Plymouth City Centre. This allows the Society to be giving back to the churches who allow them to ring there by ringing for Sunday evensong, and calling people to worship, which is after all the sole purpose of church bell ringing.
Practice nights are well attended with 14 or 15 at each practice, along with a positive atmosphere which makes ringing a pleasure.
As well as achieving a decent standard of striking, the society is focused on allowing members to “have a go” at methods that they have wanted to try in a non-intimidating environment. This has already seen results with members making rapid progress on plain hunt, and others having the chance to ring Stedman and touches of Cambridge. The Society has already made its mark by coming 3rd in a local striking competition, and we plan to go on to do bigger and greater things!
Our summer weekend away in 2011 to Thorpe Park and London went very well with a large group making the trip to the "Big Smoke" and especially enjoying ringing on the new bells at St Magnus. In 2012 we visited Alton Towers and rang at a few towers in Derbyshire.
With more exciting outings and events to happen in the pipeline, and always enjoyable practice nights, it seems Plymouth Youths is the place to be for young ringers! If any young people in the Plymouth area would like to join us, they are most welcome. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Sunday evening of the month at various towers so it is advisable to email first to find out where and when we are ringing. | 2019-04-19T00:40:29Z | https://devonringers.org.uk/education/plymouth-youths |
In a sea of salads, Sunkissed Kitchen thought it was time to bring you some real comfort food this winter! A baked mac and cheese with a surprise layer of buffalo chicken — now that is a meal that we can totally get behind any day of the week. The combo of spicy and creamy is truly out of this world! This recipe is kept gluten free by using a gluten free pasta and then blended brown rice crackers for a crunchy, golden brown topping.
However, if you do not wish to have the gluten free element to the recipe, feel free to use traditional pasta and flower instead of arrowroot. Our Sharp Chef Michelle used a combination of Sharp appliances to create this tasty dish. The Sharp Induction Cooktop was a great tool when making the delicate cheese sauces and the Superheated Steam Countertop Oven was an excellent tool to bake the casserole in only 12 minutes! This recipe is a creamy comfort food classic elevated with a spicy buffalo chicken base! If you’re a mac and cheese lover like we are, this is not to be missed! | 2019-04-22T18:18:17Z | https://simplybetterliving.sharpusa.com/tag/yum/ |
The New York Times on Thursday printed a special section featuring portraits of nearly every member of the record number of female lawmakers in Congress.
A viral Twitter thread from the Times’ design editor, Josh Crutchmer, includes a video of the covers the night before publication that has been viewed over 320,000 times as of Thursday morning.
The photos, which were taken on Capitol Hill over five days by Times photographers Elizabeth D. Herman and Celeste Sloman, are meant as “a testament to what power looks like in 2019,” according to the paper.
“Like the work of Kehinde Wiley, who painted Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaChina, Russia, Iran rise in Latin America as US retreats Castro wants to follow Obama's lead on balancing presidency with fatherhood Trump's regulatory rollback boosts odds of a financial crisis MORE’s official presidential portrait, these photographs evoke the imagery we are used to seeing in the halls of power, but place people not previously seen as powerful starkly in the frames,” the feature reads.
There are 131 women serving in the House and Senate this term, a record class that includes a number of other “firsts,” including the youngest woman elected to the House, the first two female Muslim lawmakers, and the first two Native American female lawmakers. “Redefining Representation” features 130 portraits – Rep.

My father, when he was young, was interested in becoming a musician. His father (my grandad) said no. So he became an engineer instead, but his deep love and longing of music never waned. My mom also, was on her way to becoming a piano virtuoso, but had to change course due to life and work circumstance. This was all before I was born. Right before my first birthday, my father passed away from liver cancer at the age of 49. It was his last wish that my mom and I go to New York for me to live, go to school and thrive.
Michal Jackson. There will never be another. I still can't really wrap my head around the fact that he's gone.
That, my friends, I cannot say :) ...But, the second most fun thing I've ever done is play on a float raft to thousands in a New York City parade.
I'd love to be in a cereal commercial. Lol. I don't know why, but it's been a silly dream of mine. Or a makeup commercial. Maybe that's more suitable. I'd love to go on an arena tour with another artist. I sang the National Anthem to 30,000 people at Staples Center and it was quite a rush. I can't imagine what singing my own songs to that many people - who know the words - might feel like. | 2019-04-19T10:42:29Z | http://www.newyorkstaroftheday.com/saniy/ |
Help Send a Leader to CLS and change their life.
Meet Justin, a 7-year leader and a recent graduate of Central Leaders School.
Justin’s CLS adventure began in 2010 as a 12-year-old as a 6th grader. He was really excited because, as one of the classes he takes during the week, he got to take Learn to Splash; a class that teaches the basics of a variety of swimming strokes, how to play water polo, how to do synchronized swimming and basic life-saving skills. He didn’t know how to swim but was very interested in learning. He had such a great time that he took it every year of the 7 years he attended Central Leaders School.
The confidence he gained from taking Learn to Splash inspired him to try out for his school swim team, train to become a lifeguard, and eventually get a job at his local YMCA lifeguarding. He says his experience was life-changing. “I had been through a lot, I grew up on the streets and the Leaders program kept me away from all that.” Justin received a scholarship to attend Harris-Stowe State University and is pursuing a degree in criminal justice.
Justin, like so many other leaders, could experience Leaders School because he received financial support from the Alumni Scholarship Fund, a fund that supports students who want to attend CLS but need assistance getting there. This fund would not exist without your generous support.
You can give a tax-deductible gift on the form below or via text by texting CLS to 71777 and following the prompts.
Thank you for enabling students like Justin to continue to be able to come to CLS and experience life-transforming experiences. | 2019-04-19T06:39:59Z | https://leaders-school.org/support-cls/ |
A man and a woman who were found in possession of vast quantities of substances commonly used in the production of Class A drugs have today (23 May 2017) been jailed at Carlisle Crown Court.
Alex Hardie, 53, of Bents Road, Baillieston, Glasgow was jailed for six years and eight months. Amanda Thomson, 37, of Shettleston Road, Glasgow, received a four-year jail sentence.
The court heard how Cumbria Constabulary officers stopped a BMW in Carlisle being driven by Hardie, with Thomson as a passenger.
Hardie claimed the pair had been to Blackpool but his behaviour caused officers to become suspicious and they searched the car. The officers found approximately 50kg of Benzocaine – a drug commonly used as a cocaine bulking agent by drug suppliers. They also found a further 50kg of a substance which was a mixture of caffeine and paracetamol – substances commonly used as heroin bulking agents.
The substances were found inside a number of barrels and bags being transported in the car.
The amounts of Benzocaine, caffeine and paracetamol could have been used in the production and had the potential to produce 50kg of cocaine and 50kg of heroin. Each kilo of heroin has the potential value of £50,000 to £100,000 and the cocaine at least £40,000 per kilo.
In his police interview, Hardie refused to give any comment to the questions asked of him.
Thomson supplied a statement in which she denied any knowledge of the substances being in the car or any involvement in drug supply but refused to answer any questions.
Both Hardie and Thomson denied a charge of being concerned in the supply of heroin and cocaine but pleaded guilty at court.
Detective Constable David Hetherington said: “This was a vast quantity of substances which we know are used as bulking agents for cocaine and heroin in order that the dealers can increase their profits. | 2019-04-23T00:20:25Z | https://www.cumbriacrack.com/2017/05/23/jail-duo-concerned-class-drug-supply/ |

Original article (Justice Named WBB Head Coach) on the Sam Houston State University’s athletic website gobearkats.com.
Sam Houston State has named Ravon Justice as its 10th women’s basketball head coach in the 48-year history of the program. Justice joins the Bearkats after two successful seasons as the head coach at Prairie View A&M, her first two years as a head coach.
As a head coach at Prairie View A&M, she helped resurrect and refocus the once prominent women’s basketball program. In her first year, she had a school record five non-conference wins against teams from Conference USA, the Southland and the MEAC. Justice was able to lead the Panthers to an 11-2 home record in her first season along with coaching a second team all-SWAC selection and second team Box-To-Row All American selection in Alexus Parker.
This past season, the Panthers posted a 12-6 SWAC record, a five-game improvement from the season before, and missed earning a share of the league title by one game. She led the team to the SWAC semifinals for the first time in three seasons.
Prior to coaching at PV, Justice was an assistant coach at the University of Houston. In Justice’s first year at Houston in 2010-11, the Cougars enjoyed one of their finest seasons in program history, posting a 26-6 overall record and returning to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2004-05 season.
With Justice’s guidance, Houston point guard Porsche Landry earned Conference USA first team honors and became only the fourth player in Cougars’ women’s basketball history to tally more than 1,000 points and 300 assists during her career. Justice also made an immediate impact on the recruiting trail after taking over those duties following the 2010-11 season, as various recruiting services such as Dan Olson’s Collegiate Girls Basketball Report (No. 22) and ESPN HoopGurlz (No. 39) ranked the early six-player class that signed in November of 2011 among the nation’s top-40 recruiting hauls.
Justice joined the University of Houston staff after five seasons as an assistant at Houston Baptist. Before helping the Huskies’ team transition from the NAIA to the NCAA’s Division I classification, Justice was a part of the 2005-06 team that completed an undefeated run to the Red River Athletic Conference’s regular season and tournament championships. HBU repeated as tournament champions the following season.
The Huskies also made two trips to the NAIA Division I tournament during Justice’s tenure with the team, including a trip to the quarterfinals in 2007.
During her own collegiate playing career, Justice attended Nicholls for one year before transferring to Clarendon College. As a Lady Bulldog, she was named a junior college All-American in addition to receiving Western Junior College Athletic Conference Player of the Year honors.
Justice earned her bachelor’s degree in sociology from USAO in 2004 and received her master’s degree in liberal arts from Houston Baptist in 2009. | 2019-04-25T12:52:45Z | http://thebdsagency.com/4-12-18-ravon-justice-named-head-coach-at-sam-houston-state/ |

Star midfielder Yaya Toure will be at Manchester City for the club's Premier League title defence.
The Ivory Coast international, 31, had been linked with a move away from the champions throughout the close-season.
Despite all the speculation, Toure said he wanted to see out his contract, which expires in mid-2017.
"There has been a lot of speculation but they [City] have always been good with me and good with my family," he told Sky Sports News on Saturday.
"I want to say that I will always honour my contract and stay as long as possible and don't think about all the speculation saying that I’m leaving.
"For the fans for all they have done for me and the club as well, I need to say it's a big pleasure to stay and continue and try to enjoy the next season."
Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk had appeared to be angling for a move for his client, even saying racism was the reason he was underrated.
Linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, Toure said his focus was on the upcoming season.
"Everything is fine now. There was a lot of speculation about people sending me away and people were sending me everywhere," he said.
"I think sometimes it can be disappointing and I need to do something for the fans because people love me and people want to hear about what is happening.
"It's important as well to keep them in a good way and let them know that the team are preparing well and we’ll try to do it again next year."
There were reports Toure was unhappy with how City treated him for his birthday despite the club giving him a birthday cake.
Seluk said Toure would continue giving his best for the club.
"He has a contract and he will work very hard and I hope that next season Yaya will be the best player in the club," he said.
"I hope now everybody is very friendly and I hope for his next birthday they will celebrate together." | 2019-04-25T19:44:23Z | https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/toure-insists-he-will-remain-man-city |
Prudential has fired the starting gun on a four-way break-up of a ?10bn UK annuities book that could herald a broader exit by Britain’s largest insurer from its home market.
Sky News has learnt that the Pru has begun contacting potential buyers of chunks of the pension annuities business in the last few weeks.
The company has informed them that a €10bn portfolio will be divided into four parcels of between €2bn and €3bn each, according to someone briefed on the company's plans.The packages being earmarked for sale by the Pru comprise different profiles of assets to appeal to a range of buyers, they added.Specialist buyers of pension assets such as Rothesay Life, Legal & General and Pension Insurance Corporation are expected to be among those interested in bidding for the annuities business.The sale process will be closely watched by investors, both to discern the Pru chief executive Mike Wells' intended use of the capital generated by it, and for clues about the company's longer-term ambitions about its presence in Britain.The FTSE-100 insurer was founded in 1848, and now has a major presence in the US and Asia, where it is the region's second-largest life insurer.It would have become by far the biggest player in the Far East if a $35bn takeover bid for AIA in 2010 had been successful, but the deal ultimately blocked by investors.
The Pru has since withdrawn from the UK retail annuities market and has been reviewing its back-book amid new, more capital-intensive, regulations.Speaking to Bloomberg in August, Mr Wells confirmed that the company was examining the sale of part of its UK annuities back-book."I think that the key is long-term shareholder return, not short-term cash, so we're not in any hurry to do any transactions in that space."We have exited that space on a retail basis but we wouldn't do anything that would affect the consumers that own those products adversely or do anything that would diminish total shareholder return."Insiders said that Mr Wells would not sanction the sale of the €10bn of UK annuities portfolios unless he could secure attractive offers for the assets.It is unclear whether the Pru has formally appointed advisers to handle the sale, although sources said that UBS and Perella Weinberg & Partners were likely to be in contention to advise on the disposals.The Pru declined to comment on Monday. | 2019-04-21T02:43:55Z | http://vectornews.eu/news/business/55692-pru-kicks-off-10bn-uk-annuities-sell-off.html |

I used to strive for long, flowing blonde hair. I always had longish hair as a child and always feared getting it chopped off. However, recently I took the gradual journey to short hair and I don't regret a thing.
1. Long hair is hard to maintain.
If you have, or want nice long hair you know you need to keep it healthy, duh. When you're like me and like to change your hair every so often, you will likely incur some damage which can make the hair feel as dead as it looks. I also found that long hair knots and matts so easily whereas with short hair that issue hasn't occurred for me. I do however have the constant 'oh, I miss my long hair' thoughts so if you are wanting long Haim like hair, LOOK AFTER YO' LOCKS.
I have had numerous encounters with friends who have said short hair suits my face shape better but also makes me look my age, rather than looking younger. I do now look at some photos and react with a 'I GENUINELY LOOK 12 AND THIS WAS TAKEN THIS YEAR' remark.
4. If you need a change, your hair is a good option.
Sounds silly but something as simple as a hair cut can be the small change you need to be happier. Like in TV shows when there's a break up so the character has an image change, it can be a real mood and confidence booster. YOU OWN IT.
If you really want to just go for it, go for it. Start off gradual and see what works, or what doesn't. At the end of the day, your hair will always grow back.
It really suits you! I know for a fact that short hair doesn't look good on me, so I'm striving for that long hair again!
I wear hair extensions at the mo as I want my hair to rival Rapunzel's, but I do have random moments where I envy girls with shorter hair. It looks stunning on you, think you've found the perfect length!
It looks so great on you and this post makes me so tempted! | 2019-04-23T16:07:42Z | http://www.trudyjohanna.co.uk/2015/06/5-reasons-why-you-should-cut-your-hair.html |

A few days ago, I discovered in the daily Gospel readings, that we were switching from the Book of Mark to that of the book of Matthew, and rather than starting at the beginning, the Church chose to lead with the Beatitudes. Delving further into the daily readings, I discovered that the rest of this entire month was dedicated to going through the entire Sermon on the Mount.
What a surprise and a delight to come upon this.
Reading through the entire three chapters, I sensed a pervading peace and awe of the words, and that prompted me to put the entire sermon on our website. In doing so, I rediscovered a treasure of wisdom for myself and just had to share it with you.
Rather that one large helping, I chose to break it down by individual teaching and commentaries, I found it best to consume the Sermon in small portions so as to be able to savor every bit of it.
It is also said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so I also looked for a video to accompany this piece and came up this gentleman from Ascension Presents. He talks about his journey to the Father and it reminded me of my journey through the Sermon on the Mount this week.
I pray that you are blessed by the words and witness shared on these pages. | 2019-04-22T18:03:23Z | https://www.mysvdpparish.org/sermononthemount00.html |
Whether you want to take your mum for lunch or your lover for dinner, Clos Maggiore has that special “touch of magic” with an added soupçon of Gallic ooh-la-la. Love is always in the air at this “gloriously romantic” restaurant – especially if you’re lucky enough to get a table amid the twinkling fairy lights, blossoms and foliage in the glass-roofed conservatory (open to the stars on balmy evenings). Bookings aren’t guaranteed in this inviting space, but you can always settle for one of the less enticing dining areas: either way, expect finely tuned French-accented cooking with some noticeable Mediterranean nuances. “Simply delicious” starters such as hand-picked Dorset crab with anchovy mayonnaise and char-grilled cauliflower or pan-roasted Les Landes duck liver with roasted fig and smoked duck ham open proceedings, ahead of a thumping dish of herb-smoked rack of lamb with goats’ curd and gratinated smoked aubergine for two to share. Vegetarians also fare well, while tricksy desserts feature the signature ‘caramelised chocolate sensation’ with burnt honey ice cream and Armagnac jelly. Clos Maggiore’s huge (but accessible) wine list also warrants serious exploration.
We booked a table for 2 at 1pm. We were ushered upstairs to a pleasant but small room and to a table where my seat was too close to the kitchen door, so plates of food were passing very close to my head as meals were served to other diners. The waitress was quite frosty, from the beginning we had the feeling that she couldn't wait to finish her shift. Rather than let us choose the bread we would like she tossed 3 types of bread on each of our side plates. We didn't want bread as it happens. First course of Dorset crab with anchovy mayonnaise and chargrilled cauliflower, simply delicious as was my guests Sicilian aubergine with sweet peppers. I chose Mas de Daumas Gassac white wine which would cost £60 -£70 in most restaurants but strangely it was only £29 which is excellent value. Main courses of pan roasted halibut and Goosnargh duck were tasty but not spectacular. As we were finishing our main courses the other 5 tables had completed their meals and left the restaurant. It was only 2.30pm and the waitress was buzzing about at 100mph laying the tables for dinner. There was this feeling that we were getting in her way so we wolfed down a house chocolate Sensation and a Lemon sorbet and headed for the Savoy Hotel for coffee and brandy. The meal was good value for money but I like to relax in a restaurant and that didn't happen unfortunately.
It is a bold claim for any restaurant to make suggesting that it provides an ‘unforgettable dining experience’, and all the more so if you have also been voted London’s ‘most romantic’ restaurant. Such is the standard that Clos Maggiore is forced to live up to. My comrade and I certainly thoroughly enjoyed a recent Saturday night here, but perhaps not as much as our initial visit around five years ago. In some ways, Clos Maggiore has become a victim of its own success; customers go here expecting to be both wowed and wooed. It is a place for special dinners and also for tourists, much more so than it can be considered an integral part of the high-end London dining scene. The main dining room definitely impresses: a beautiful conservatory adorned with apple blossom, fairy lights and a log fire, comprising just seven tables. We were lucky enough to benefit from one of these, although diners going here with high expectations may find them dashed should they be seated in the somewhat less glamorous ante room. We also could not help noticing, however, that even the atmosphere of the more intimate conservatory was slightly marred by the constant clicking of cameras and requests for couples to pose for obligatory photos taken by servers. Furthermore, table-turning is very much an active strategy here – particularly given the location of the restaurant proximate to theatre land - and so we also felt the ambience also diminished by the constant entry and exit of new couples, awaiting their experience. Nonetheless, before readers get the impression that this is a negative review, the above observations do constitute quibbles from a seasoned and sceptical London diner. On the positive side, the food and wine merit high praise and pricing is very competitive relative to other comparable locations. The approach at Clos Maggiore is billed as one of contemporary French cuisine, although the name of the restaurant also hints at a strong Italian influence too. Being a celebratory event, we enjoyed a glass of crisp and refreshing house champagne before moving onto the tasting menus, omnivorous for me, vegetarian for my comrade. We noted their relative originality (no scallop or steak on my menu, rather crab and duck as the highlights) and also a focus on simplicity rather than each dish comprising a list of obscure ingredients, coupled with jus and/or foam. Even something as relatively basic as my comrade’s papardella with wild mushrooms and grated fresh truffle was prepared superbly with the flavours speaking for themselves. The paired wines also scored well, both for quality and originality. The sommelier had sourced good and inventive matches from Austria, Italy and Chile (among others) with relatively little reliance on France. For all this, at £55/head (or £90 with wines included), it is hard to complain. A little more charisma from some of the servers would have improved things further. In conclusion, Clos was pretty good, but it will probably be at least five years until we return again, given how many other options there are across London, whether for romantics or for fine diners.
A quality experience from start to finish. Service unhurried but attentive. 5 course tasting menu delicately balanced and flavoured. Well informed and helpful sommelier.
Just have to keep coming back!
Strategy a wonderful fresh and clean combination on the palet. Main excellent and the duck succulent. Sweet, had to have it Black Icecream there's nothing like it; not too sweet and lovely to finish off.
Clos Maggiore has been around for many years, tucked fairly inconspicuously in King Street behind the Royal Opera House. Despite its well-appointed interior and charming door staff, you might just have a lingering initial suspicion that it's yet another over-priced, over-styled Covent Garden restaurant. You'd be wrong. This is the real deal: superb French food - with exotic Caribbean influences - and a magnificent wide-ranging wine list, all avaiable in a delightful, cosy, elegant setting at prices which are on the high side but not outrageous for what's on offer. In fact the food is nowadays so excellent that it seems inconceivable that a Michelin star has not wafted their way, but my advice is - get in there now before the award is made (as it surely must be!) and prices rise. Even the £29.95 set menu (available at lunchtime and for pre- and post-theatre dining) offers a tempting choice of six starters, six mains and six puddings, and for a further £10 includes a half bottle of wine - their choice, not yours. It's hard to choose what to eat, as everything on the menu sounds so attractive - but which then turns out to exceed expectations! After a half-dozen visits over the years, Clos Maggiore has now gone right to the upper end of my London dining lists, and maybe - at this price-level and in this area - right to the top. The only downside is the occasionally slightly grim-faced table service, but don't let that put you off. All in all the place is a treat. Go try.
We had an excellent meal for our anniversary yesterday. The restaurant is quite small and we had to wait a few minutes for our table. The service was excellent and the food we had was memorable; scallops on pigs trotters followed by loin of pork with delicious sauce.
After a train down from the Midlands, a walk in the drizzle around the Tower of London to see the stupendous poppy installation, then to the National Gallery for the wonderful exhibition of Rembrandt's later works it occurred to me that a meal at 5 o'clock prior to our journey home might struggle to match the earlier part of the day. I needn't have worried as Clos Maggiore remains one of my favourite restaurants. A warm welcome then a chilled glass of champagne before our table was ready got my wife and I off to a good start. We were able to choose from the pre-theatre menu which is excellent value. I enjoyed my foie gras starter and my wife loved her herring and prawn dish. Mains were the chicken leg for me and smoked cod for madam. I loved mine, and the cod too was enjoyed, though possibly ever so slightly too salty. My whisky rice pudding was delightful and also my wife's chocolate dessert, most of which also came my way. The house white was perfectly acceptable, though I really enjoyed reading the wine list, which hopefully we can choose from at our next, more leisurely visit. Service really is very good and if you have never been then you certainly should go.
Perfect for romantic dinners. But not just romantic dinners!
I last visited Clos Maggiore about 10 years ago for dinner with friends and it was so good I hadn't been back. Sounds weird but I had it in my head that I should return for a really special romantic dinner and of course the 100% perfect excuse never quite arose. So I was delighted when a friend gave me another reason to visit when he booked the private dining room for a leaving-for-far-flung-shores lunch one weekend. It was the perfect spot for the occasion. There was just enough time and space for a pre-lunch mingle, lubricated by bubbles served by our discreet waiters. The room is quite tight, taken up mostly by a large dining table, but that keeps it intimate and antiqued mirror walls stop you feeling too boxed in. The table accommodated eighteen of us quite comfortably and it is sociably square shaped so you can still hold a conversation with everyone else around it. I don't normally like to be told there's a set menu with no choice but when it's Clos and it starts with a chicken liver and foie gras parfait it's a different matter. Every course was beautiful: think juicy show-stopper scallops and honey roast duck with tart roasted red plums. The only bum note was a pineapple parfait that had a strange half ice-cream/half sorbet texture. Top marks for fuss free amendments for those with dietary requirements (no seafood! no gluten! no taste!). The matched wines complemented the food well but the highlight for me was an intense, sticky port which accompanied the cheeses. Service throughout was great: professional and well paced, leaving us to enjoy the food and wine without pressure. The bill (5 courses, wines, coffee) came to £110 a head which I thought was reasonable but does put the restaurant in the "special occasion" category. I will have to find another such occasion before I another 10 years pass.
I saw a review of this restaurant in magazine and as it was dubbed ‘most romantic’ restaurant in London so my husband and I decided to book. We booked at the end of February for a date in May and when we arrived we were not seated in the main restaurant. Instead we were seated near the bar in what looks like an add on for people who just happen to pop in on the off chance. The website and pictures are very deceiving. I asked if we could move tables to be in the main part and was told that they only have 5 tables for 2 and the people seated at them booked before us in January. My main message to anyone thinking of going is that when you book you must make sure that you ask to sit in the main garden part otherwise you could just as well be in any other restaurant in any other part of London. Most disappointed and feel very cheated by Clos Maggiore.
Over the years the romantic atmosphere has not diminished and the cosy, faux foliage and conservatory with it's fire and mirrors still deliver a special romanticism. The fixed price evening menu for either 2 or 3 courses with a choice of 3 dishes per course is excellent value and unusually for a “prix fixe” the dish sizes are the same as from the a la carte menu. Wines offered stretch over the price and global range. The only negative is the service can be rushed as they openly try to turn the tables rather quickly, although they can be slowed down if you ask! | 2019-04-25T18:05:53Z | https://www.squaremeal.co.uk/restaurants/clos-maggiore_972 |

1) Easy Way: Beat the career on Hard (including the battle with Lou) with a guitar, let it save and turn off your console. Now turn on you xbox, and start the game with a controller, select career from the main menu and the profile that you had beat hard using the guitar, and the achievement will now unlock, without ever playing using the controller.
2) Legitimate Way: To do this legitimately, you will need to use the controller. Hard difficulty won't start off too bad, but Tier 7 and 8 will be huge pain (literally) as some songs have fast strum sections that are nearly impossible using the controller. I wish you lots of luck, practice, and all the patience in the world. You can always use the guitar method (in way #1) if you are struggling with a song and are decent at guitar to help you move on to the next song. The method above will work if you mix your completed songs with guitar + controller as well.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s never too early to be thinking about fantasy football. The more time spent doing research during the offseason, the more edge there is to be gained over your less-obsessed opponents – who are lazy and weak, whose minds will atrophy in the offseason, wasting precious time and energy preoccupied by trivial thoughts of work and family, or even worse, sports other than football.
For the true fantasy football addicts amongst us, below you will find my “never too early” 2019 tiered rankings for the tight end position with accompanying analysis. We already tackled the quarterback, running back, and wide receiver positions.
This information is also now actionable, thanks to best ball leagues with drafts taking place today on DRAFT.com and BestBall10s.com.
Owning any one of the “big three” tight ends offered you a massive edge over your opponents in 2018. I went more in-depth on these players here.
For all of the reasons outlined here, I think Henry has the best chances of joining the Tier 1 tight ends and turning the “big three” into a “big four.” He rightfully stands in a tier all his own.
I’d bet Howard becomes a fantasy superstar at some point in his career. Across the PFF era (2007-2018), Howard’s 2018 season ranked top-15 in yards per route run by a tight end. Howard leads all tight ends in yards per target (11.5) over the past two seasons, and, in 2018, ranked sixth at the position in fantasy points per game (12.1). Still, concerns involve Cameron Brate’s presence and new head coach Bruce Arian’s constrained usage of tight ends throughout his career. … Engram has less upside than Howard but is less risky as well. Over the past two seasons, Engram ranks fifth at the position in fantasy points per game (11.1).
Walker and Olsen are deserving of injury discounts. Walker played on just 39 snaps in 2018 before suffering a season-ending injury but finished (across the previous four seasons) sixth, sixth, third, and seventh among tight ends in fantasy points per game. Olsen missed time with a fractured foot in 2017 and then re-fractured it and played through that injury for most of the 2018 season. He finished top-five in fantasy points across each of the previous three seasons. It seems unlikely at the moment, but there is a risk he retires before the start of the season. … If Gronkowski announces he’s back for another year, I’d be fine moving him up to Tier 2, but I think it’s more likely than not he’ll announce his retirement sometime soon. That said, even if he’s back for another year, Gronkowski seemed a shell of his former self in 2018, recording career lows (outside of his rookie season) in fantasy points per game (10.6) and PFF grade.
Assume a massive gap between Tier 1 and Tier 2, and then a larger gap between Tier 2 and Tier 3, and then an even bigger gap between Tier 3 and Tier 4. The gap between Tier 4 and Tier 5 is a jump across the Grand Canyon in comparison to any of the other tiers. Njoku is a young player (22 years old) with plenty of talent, though we’ve yet to really see that talent materialize on the field. In 2018, he led the position in drops (8), but also ranked fifth in routes run (490), seventh in targets (83), and eighth in receiving yards (639). I think it’s likely he takes a step forward in Year 3. … Ebron’s production was terrific in 2018, but he was also out-snapped (331 to 164) and out-targeted (32 to 22) by a banged-up Jack Doyle in games both were active. … Graham played the near-entirety of the 2018 season with knee and/or thumb injuries, and (as a result) didn’t play well, but is still tethered to a top-three quarterback and top-five NFL offense.
Unlike the other tiers, there isn’t much of a gap between Tier 5 and Tier 6. Cook finished fifth at the position in fantasy points per game (12.1), but it was far and away the best fantasy season of his 10-year career and is an unrestricted free agent this year. … Reed was once a top-three fantasy tight end whenever he was on the field (though that wasn’t often), but the 2018 iteration of Reed looked nothing like the older version. … Doyle is tricky for me. I may actually end up swapping him and Ebron, but for now I’ll have to yield to the Indianapolis tight end who stayed healthy and scored more points. | 2019-04-22T05:07:24Z | https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/fantasy-football-rankings-best-ball-draft-tiers-at-tight-end |

I like how the Compassionate Communication workshops are designed to be very interactive. It went straight to the point by skipping all the lectures and went straight to the practice. That’s the part I liked most…Tony has a unique personal character/style that creates an atmosphere that is warm, relaxed and casual. The way he speaks and interacts with others makes people willing to open up and be honest during the workshop. The Compassionate Communication workshops affected my philosophy of what it takes to be an effective communicator. To be an effective communicator, you first need to listen and understand the needs of the others. That’s how you win other people and make them more willing to listen to your needs. After that, you will be able to work out the different and conflicting needs.
I was not planning on attending the workshop because there was too much going on in my life. Work was really hectic and I had a deadline coming up. But once I got to the class I realized it was more relaxing to be there, spending sometime focusing on myself, rather than being at home worrying about all that I had to do.
Tony’s facilitation for me was authentic, skilled, vulnerable, accessible. I believe he modeled compassionate, empathic listening. Specifically, I observed his sensitivity to participants’ needs and struggles and he was able to diffuse what I perceived to be potentially dangerous and painful exchanges. He did this with skill and grace….I find myself being very rigid with the structure of communication and I liked Tony’s flexibility and the inclusion of other ways to say the same things. I felt a “looseness”, “softer edges”, a less demanding approach which helped me see more usefulness in this process…. It was a great experience and I look forward to my own continuing practice and future opportunites to work with Tony. I am already seeing that I am more in the moment, more conscious of my feelings and needs. It’s exciting!
I like the fact that Tony gave personal examples, which were helpful, and showed him as real, willing to show his vulnerability, as well as his astute knowledge of what creates healthy communication. He has a lively presentation, interspersed with exercises, and a genuine love of what he teaches…I’m becoming more conscious of how much I assume, interpret, guess wrongly, etc. I’m also more aware of the person I communicate with, leaving blame and judgment out of most of it now. I do hope we will be able to continue with Tony’s help and start using what we have learned in Compassionate Communication in every day communication.
I found Anthony to be very open and caring abut our group of individuals. He was a very good listener and at the same time was able to keep us on target. I liked his openness and positive feedback. He also gave us some excellent quotes from sources that could help our compassionate communication in the future….I think I’ve always been a good listener, but now I’m affected in listening with more empathy as well as understanding my own feelings. Overall, I was very pleased to have had this opportunity.
Tony was an excellent leader .
Tony taught Compassionate Communication by example, which is the best teacher. He shared from his heart and helped to create a safe space for others to share. I like his gentle, supportive manner – clear and always caring. Tony was well-prepared and inclusive, open to suggestions but usually on target….Thank you for a most helpful and productive approach to a new way of communicating.
I experienced Tony as a very sensitive, authentic, and experienced group facilitator. He was patient, non-critical or judgmental, inclusive, positive, picked up on participants’ positive actions and rewarded them, allowed less confident members to join in or not, and never missed a teaching point. It is so important to me that [my partner] and I have this group to learn and grow in, that you build a trusting environment in the group. He has very little group experience and is slower to trust so it is important he feels he can trust the leader. I am very comfortable with your style and approach to Compassionate Communication, especially not being rigid, but flexible in its use. I loved the workshop. Come back soon!
I liked most that Tony was very including and remembered names and encouraged participation. He was non-critical and allowed people to flow without interruption. He was also not too dogmatic, and allowed departure from strict rules.
I found his overall approach helpful.
Tony has a wonderful way of expressing himself. He is a very good listener and seems to go right to the meat of the situation. I didn’t know what to expect, so all of this was new to me and it worked well. I would definitely like to learn more about it. | 2019-04-26T09:54:26Z | http://www.leadglobal.org/compassionate-communication-testimonials/ |

Hydra is a module that can load-balance between symmetric Dataworks Enterprise sources.
It is used to spread the load of client requests amoungst multiple sources that can all potentially provide the same data.
Hydra is commonly used where the underlying data source suffers has some form of bottle neck associated with obtaining the data, and where this can be aliviated by having multiple handlers to access the data.
For example, when the number of requests made by the Global Topic Handler becomes very high the Global Topic Server to which it connects may drop updates (with a notification) to prevent buffer over flows. One solution to this is to run multiple GTHandlers against one or more Global Topic servers each mounting seperate sources. Hydra may then be used to combine these multiple but logically equivalent sources into one, spreading the requests for GlobalTopic data amoungst each base source.
Hydra has been a standard Dataworks Enterprise component since Dataworks Enterprise release 1.0.0.137.
When the client of the Hydra's out-going source makes a request, the hydra applies the request to one of its available in-coming heads (input sources). It does this by choosing the 'least-loaded' head calculated on the basis of the number of currently active requests on each head.
Hydra also supports a single backup head (or input source) to which it will direct requests when, and only when, all other heads are unavailable. In this situation it will return requests back onto the first normal head that becomes available again.
Hydra can also be configured to place a limit on the maximum number of requests that it will apply to a given head. If this maximum is reached for all available heads then further requests will be given a RTStale status and will then be queued until such time as a head becomes available that can process the request.
All Configuration is performed using the Hydra.USR file. For specific details please consult the installed configuration file.
Hydra presents just one outpur source which has the behaviour of the underlying input sources.
NB All the input sources should all be equally capable of servicing any client request.
Hydra does not rebalance requests once they are made. Requests are always applied to the 'least-loaded' head at the time that the request is made and remain on that had until the request is cancelled.
At present Hydra sends a client request to the least-loaded head calculated on the basis of the number of currently active requests on each head. A forthcoming version will be able to use an alternative, source-specific algorithim by interogating each source for its relative loading factor using a well-known instrument. | 2019-04-19T21:24:19Z | http://dtg.tfn.com/product_info/components/connectivity/Hydra.html |

Centuries Old, Hemp Grows Hemp Building!
The Cover photo from Harmless Home of hempcrete blocks for a home project in British Columbia. The woody fibers of the cannabis plant — it grows from seed to harvest in about four months — when mixed with lime produces a natural, light concrete that retains thermal mass and is highly insulating.

Battling the plant’s powerful drug connotation might be the toughest hurdle for farmers and builders and is possibly a more formidable obstacle during the Trump administration.
The plant is still highly regulated.
Still, in the United States, special permits are needed to build with hemp, and the requirements can vary by county and state. The first modern hemp house was constructed in 2010, in North Carolina. There are now about 50 such homes in the country.
Hemp was rediscovered in the 1980s across Europe, where cultivation is legal, and France has become the European Union’s largest hemp producer. Hundreds of buildings across the continent use the substance as insulation to fill walls and roofs, and under floors in wood-framed buildings. | 2019-04-20T05:00:47Z | https://hempingtonpost.com/centuries-old-hemp-grows-popularity-home-building/ |

This lesson explores the cultural and cultic mandates of the human race, and explores in more detail the idea of humankind as coregents of God. All this reveals God’s fundamental purpose in creating us is that we should look like him as a ground and consequence of fellowship with him. This basic truth of humanity is the basis of all human culture, politics, art, and worship- a co-creating with God, and bringing his creation to its most created perfection in intimate union with himself. This union is sacramentally expressed in creation in the union of man and woman as one flesh in the covenant of marriage.
Please click here to view the video on our Facebook page.
This lesson explores the basis of all God’s other claims and titles from the human perspective: he created all things. He defines all things, establishing their limits and proper function. He orders all things to reflect his rule, fashioning created agents of his rule (to be co-rulers under him) in increasing degrees of complexity. He creates humankind most especially to reflect his sovereign glory, calling us to co-rule his creation with him by filling it and ordering it on the basis of the pattern he establishes. His rule is benevolent, his creation designed to flourish: it is very good.
God Becomes Man, Lesson 1: Why Bother With the Bible?
On Wednesday, September 13, we launched our new Wednesday night Christian Education curriculum. From now until the end of May, we will be working our way through the story of salvation in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Entitled "God Becomes Man," we will discover how the Scriptures tell God's story of entering our world in Jesus Christ to reconcile all people to himself.
Lesson 1: Why Bother with the Bible?
This lesson will orient us to studying the Scriptures as narrative. The basic narrative arc will be unpacked, from Genesis to Revelation, with an emphasis on how to read the whole Christologically. In particular, the major thrust of the Old Testament will be unpacked in terms of “God becoming man” and the New in terms of “man becoming God,” with Jesus Christ as the hinge on which the narrative turns. | 2019-04-18T11:18:16Z | http://www.trinityhillsdale.org/blog/archives/09-2017 |
Get the chance to win an 80-day all-expense paid trip around the Philippines with Juanderlust.
TravelBook.ph and StopSleepGo.com officially launched Juanderlust, an online global competition in search of the Chosen Juan tasked to travel around the Philippines and experience 80 wonders in 80 days, on August 12, 2015. Registration began at 6PM and the event kickstarted at 6:45PM. The event presented what Juanderlust is all about along with the mechanics for signing up.
Juanderlust is a contest open to everyone worldwide. Anyone over the age of 18 can apply no matter what their race, religion, age, or nationality (although foreigners must have a valid passport to travel to the Philippines next year). From all the entries, 100 Hopeful Ones will be chosen. Before the end of the year, they will be trimmed down to the final 10. The Chosen Juan will be announced on January 2, 2016. His or her journey begins on the second week of January and ends in March. All applicants need to do to join is answer a short question in words and video.
A big highlight of the event was the short Q&A with the heads of the competition, including both CEOs of TravelBook.ph and StopSleepGo.com. The panel was asked questions such as if there was an age limit to the contest (anyone 18 and over can apply) and whether or not celebrities can join (they can as long their management will allow them to travel for three months). One of the most interesting questions came from MensHealth.com, asking what the potential Chosen Juan should be doing now in preparation for everything. The panel answered that aside from getting into shape and improving their physical fitness, it’s all about psychologically preparing yourself for the long journey and trying to get through all the stages and tasks at hand.
So if you are open-minded, willing to take risks, and enjoy traveling around the Philippines, this contest is for you. Signups for Juanderlust are open until November 15, 2015. Participants just need to visit https://www.travelbook.ph/juanderlust, fill out the application form, and submit a brief answer to the question “Why should you be the Chosen Juan?” in text and video format. The final winner will be announced on January 2, 2016.
Juanderlust is the brainchild of two accommodation booking sites, TravelBook.ph and StopSleepGo.com.
TravelBook.ph is a hotel booking site that began in 2010 as the largest online catalog of Philippine hotels and resorts. Since becoming an online hotel booking service in 2013, TravelBook.ph has gained over 1,500 hotel and resort partners from all over the Philippines. The company’s aim is to help every Filipino travel more with value for money accommodations in every corner of the country.
StopSleepGo.com is an online vacation accommodation service, providing varied and unique places globally for the travelers' convenience. The company’s goal is to encourage people from all over the world to list and rent out their properties to travelers, helping locals earn extra income while providing travelers with accommodations for every occasion.
Juanderlust is co-presented by GetGo, the official rewards program of Cebu Pacific, earn points every time you fly.

Always burn your candle in a safe, heat-resistant place, away from children and pets, draperies, loose bedding, fans and drafts.
Never blow out your candle. Always extinguish the flame by dipping the burning wick into the wax to put out the flame and also prime the wick for the next burn. You may use special 'wick dippers' for this, or even a kitchen knife or pencil. Make sure the wick is then in an upright position.
After the wax cools and solidifies, trim the wick to 1/4 to 1/2 inch long, and remove any trimmings from the candle. | 2019-04-20T22:39:05Z | https://www.soyphisticatedcandles.com/candlecare.html |
The female Seba`s Short-tailed Bats give birth about twice a year. The newborn babies weigh only about five grams and are completely dependent on their mothers. Like all mammals, they only drink their mother’s milk at first. When about three weeks old, the young bats start trying to fly by themselves. After eight weeks they get weaned and have to hunt for their own food. They have to eat a lot to acquire their final weight of 18-19 grams, which they reach when they are ten weeks old.
Giving birth and raising Pim was too much for his mother, so she died when he was only a few weeks old. On March 12, 2011, the keepers found little Pim lying on the floor of the bat enclosure. He was so starved and weak that he was trembling all over and couldn’t hang from the ceiling by himself. Banana pulp was needed!
Patiently, the little nursling was fed and cared for. With each day, Pim grew stronger and livelier. A few weeks later the day had come when the little youngster could be put into the enclosure with the other bats. At first, the change from banana pulp to whole fruit and a lot of flying around was very hard on Pim; quite a few times the keeper saw him just hanging there, taking a rest. Meanwhile, though, he has settled in and gets along fine with his fellows. Still, he remembers his keeper well. Sometimes he lands on her hand just like he used to when this was the place where he got his daily banana pulp.
Like all mammals, baby bats depend on their mothers at first. They get fed, cleaned and protected. When the mothers hunt for food, the little ones come along, holding tight to their mother’s belly. | 2019-04-25T04:24:16Z | https://noctalis.de/en/our-animals/baby-bats.html |
Here's How To... have a warm w..
What REALLY happens when you g..
They often say the best things in life are free. After five hours and 43 minutes on one of Richard Branson’s finest (as a treat for being major delayed for our wedding), that isn’t always the case. They’re so comfortable, and the on-board first class service is, well, first class, but 343 minutes?! That’s a lot.
As you can imagine, as we arrived into Edinburgh we were fairly keen to get our lovely long weekend off to a flier. Laura had sorted us some amazing accommodation through Airbnb, and after a short taxi ride, it was time to put out feet up.
Except who travels all that way to stay in their room? Not us (although I’m sure if you ask Laura she might have a different answer), so we headed out. After four days in the Scottish capital and much Gluhwein and Drambuie Hot Toddies, here’s our guide to eating in Edinburgh. There are so many pictures, so instead of taking up loads of room in this post, just slide through on the gallery above!
Even for us nestled in the city centre, this little cafe come restaurant was located short taxi ride away in the middle of another busting neighbourhood, Stockbridge. Nonetheless, braving the freezing air, we made our way to one of our favourite meals of the day. ESPECIALLY when it involves Eggs Benedict, which is exactly what we had. Hamilton’s looks fun and is pups friendly, and as we took our seats we were glad we’d made the effort. Sadly, this was where the fun ended.
We asked for soya milk with our lattes, but they didn’t have any – cue: grumbling bellies full of frothy milk all day. The eggs came with more of a cheese sauce than hollandaise which looked like it had been sitting out for a while, and the eggs themselves bordered on undercooked – we’re not fans of jelly eggs unless Haribo is involved.
Despite the breakfast itself being a bit meh, the service was excellent and it’s exactly the kind of place we think is a local favourite. We can picture socialising with friends without having to yell over loud music here. It’s dog-friendly with plenty of Chesterfields to relax on too. There were a few people enjoying a lazy Saturday morning with the paper and a coffee, or chatting away with the family on the sofas.
An early lunch awaited, and boy did we love it. Located within a haggis’ throw of the Glasshouse and our Airbnb apartment, Treacle enticed us with their promises of home-made STILL IN THE PAN cookies and FRESHLY MADE WAFFLES. How could we possibly refuse? The menu – rather like The Blackbird (below) – was full of variety and catered for everyone looking for a light bite to a hearty pie, which is exactly what I had.
Laura instantly decided on the Katsu Curry with Pad Thai noodles, so everyone was happy. We were even happier when we finished, as the food was beautiful. I can vouch for both, being the human bin I am.
The highlight of the afternoon was the bacon-infused Jack Daniels cocktail. There are many beautiful things in life. Bacon and JD are two of those, so you can only imagine my excitement when I saw the menu.
Drinks were ordered and arrived about fifteen minutes later, and food was about the same. The longest wait, though, was for the cookie. And this was totally forgiveable given it arrived still sizzling in its own cast iron pan. Served with a lashing of ice cream which was melting deliciously over it all, I don’t know that any other dessert will ever beat it.
Tucked away in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End, the Blackbird is no more than a 10/15 minute walk from Princes Street. If you’re staying around Haymarket, even better. We arrived and were promptly seated, a surprise as it was pushing on 7.30pm on a Friday night. The bar was heaving, and tables were getting filled left, right, behind and in front.
A fellow bearded chap called Josh showed us to our tables and ran through the ‘What we’re drinking’ winter cocktail menu (priorities, obviously). Laura found the greatest cocktail ever (her words, not mine) involving sherbet and a strawberry lollypop, and I found mine had a little too much ice but lots of fruity flavour.
One of the best things about the Blackbird is their food menu. It will change as the seasons do, but what we loved was the dishes vary EVERY DAY. Laura’s starter of mussels (BLEURGH) are cooked in a different broth every day, the fish varies on a daily basis and even the cuts of meat. Very impressive. Laura went for the crispy chicken schnitzel and noodles for main, and I had the mushroom and spinach burger. Both were delicious.
I’m not even in the same postcode as a vegetarian, but it was truly outstanding.
The only drawback we could see was the location. It’s a really cool bar, with an outside garden area, mirrors everywhere and the hint of a winter cinema club – it was almost Shoreditch in Edinburgh. But, as tourists in town, there is so much going on around the Old Town and Princes Street it can be quite difficult to drag yourself away.
Like any city you go to, it’s off the beaten track you find the gems, and The Blackbird is one of those. Laura’s just gutted she’s 500 miles away from the best cocktail she’s ever sipped. | 2019-04-18T22:23:24Z | http://bigcitylittlenurse.co.uk/2014/12/eating-in-edinburgh.html/ |

A new wooden nave altar, constructed by Matthew Burt of Hindon, will be dedicated by the Rt Revd Andrew Rumsey the Bishop of Ramsbury, in a special Parish Communion service on Sunday 7th April at 0930.
Matthew Burt’s new work replaces a stone altar which has now been repositioned in the Lady Chapel. The obvious advantage of the new altar is its mobility. Up till now the stone altar (shown in its former position below) has restricted the amount of space for concerts and other functions. | 2019-04-26T04:37:53Z | http://www.tisburyparishchurch.org/new-nave-altar/ |
Often have the frontend crash when entering a netvision channel. This seems to be caused by something in the paththumb download. If I update the database to set all the paththumbs of the channel to be the same local file image no crash. Also after a few crash if all the paththumb images are download and are in the cache then also no crash. Looks like mostly occurs for channels where there are many directories (~10 or more) Downloading of video thumbnails do not cause a crash.
Downloading of the paththumbs looks quite strange. Starts with no images, then images blink on and off as they download, then when all are downloaded, all the images pop up.

Chris, can you look at this and decide whether it's anything we need to deal with? The crash is actually in Qt code, I cannot reproduce, but it's called from within MythDownloadManager?. Gut says it's a Qt bug, but worth one more look.
Auric, your backtrace is a crash, not a hang. No further info needed.
For general info, qt version.
Seems like there are some thread safety issues in MythDownloadManager?. The attached patched tries to solve them.
Fix race condition and potential segfault in MythDownloadManager?.
Put a lock around the creation of the MythDownloadManager? to make sure we don't get two created by a potential race condition.
Put a lock around access to the QNetworkDiskCache when called via MythDownloadManager::GetLastModified?().
Fixes #9231 using ideas from Jonatan from comhem.se, but most of the patch (and potential issues) are mine. | 2019-04-21T20:35:09Z | https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9231 |

Open the Recording dialog to set how the camera should store events (alarms).
The recording methods are independent of the selected video codec (JPEG, MxPEG). In order to obtain the highest frame rate and the most efficient storage method, however, you should use the MOBOTIX MxPEG codec.
The effectiveness of Limit Frame Rate When Idle setting in the Setup Menu > General Image Settings dialog will be reduced when using high frame rates in continuous recording or pre-alarm images, or when using pre-alarm image intervals that are too short.
For the time defined in Recording Time, the camera continues storing the video stream as MxPEG clips (or the Post-Alarm Images in Snap Shot mode).
The camera records only when the respective custom signal is true.
The camera records only when the master camera's Recording is armed.
Note: Actions and Messages are not connected to recording and the camera will execute these functions even if recording has been deactivated.
In order to arm the camera in a time-controlled manner, you need to select a Time Table Profile.
Arm Recording in this dialog (see above) has to be set to Enable or can be set to work with the camera's signal input (e.g. with a key switch) using the SI Closed (low) or SI Open (high) options.
The camera signs the recorded data using the X.509 certificate of the camera's web server.
The function will automatically stop the recording of images or video clips if one of the selected events occur once the Time Before Terminate has been used up. Use this option if you would like freeze the stored images or image sequences and to prevent them from being overwritten.
Note: The selected event(s) must have been activated in the Event Settings dialog; deactivated events are shown accordingly.
If the recording has been terminated, the action symbol TR will be displayed in yellow: TR.
Set Retrigger Recording to All in order to combine all events in one event folder with the one event number.
Note: Event Recording is only available for Secure cameras.
Event recording stores MxPEG Clips (M00001.jpg, M00002.jpg, ...; max. ten seconds recording time each) that can also contain audio data (the Record Audio Data option has been activated). One of the advantages of this recording method is the efficient recording method that results in a high increase in server performance (e.g. up to 100 cameras can record on a single standard PC (P4, 3 GHz)). On the other hand, this method also allows storing lip-synchronous audio (sound) data of the camera.
Note: Continuous Recording is only available for Secure cameras.
Continuous recording stores MxPEG Clips all the time (M00001.jpg, M00002.jpg, ...) that can also contain audio data (the Record Audio Data option has been activated). The advantage of this recording mode is a continuous recording with reduced frame rate and permanent audio recording where the camera automatically increases the frame rate if it detects an event.
Similar to Event Recording, the Recording End (RE) event is triggered once the recording has been finished (including retriggered—i.e. prolonged—recording).
The HD (1280x720) and Full HD (1920x1080) resolutions available in the live image and in the image profiles are not available for this mode. Since these resolutions do not have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (letterbox), full image recording would clip parts of the image at the top and the bottom of the image. | 2019-04-22T22:30:56Z | http://webcam.hlidarfjall.is/help/help?action-recording |

Great buying experience, from sales to finance. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Great Mark Martin museum, very clean facility. Nice people, good coffee.
They did their best to get the price down to where I needed it.
They were conducive to our needs and wanted us to perfectly satisfied with the vehicle we purchased. Since the purchase, my wife has stated several times that she has never been more satisfiedwith a car purchase and usually completes that with, "I just love it".
The entire process was very easy. It was definitely worth the drive from LR.
They were just good to work with.
They had the car I wanted. I got a better deal than expected. They were nice. | 2019-04-21T22:37:06Z | https://www.markmartinkia.com/mark-martin-kia-dealership-customer-reviews |

I have just returned form the Retina Society meeting in Washington DC. A most interesting meeting, where a large group of retina specialists meet up and present recent data and research. Of course this is not the largest meeting in Ophthalmology, the largest is the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), which is a comprehensive meeting that includes not only retina, but every subspecialty for the treatment of eye diseases. For now let me give you a brief summary of what was of interest at the Retina Society, before I jet off to Chicago early November for the AAO. By the way, I have not had any specific requests for a particular topic, so have assumed you are happy for me to pick and choose. If not, please let me know!
I hope you enjoy the newsletters and I look forwards to hearing from you.
The results of the safety and efficacy of Ranibizumab (also called Lucentis) in the RISE and RIDE trials for diabetic macular oedema confirmed what we expected to hear, that is a significant benefit for vision and anatomic end-points up to 3 years after treatment. However, treatment arms involved monthly injections, a very difficult task to endure as a patient. Delayed treatment however did not result in the same visual acuity benefits. Other research on the development of macular oedema after cataract surgery in diabetic patients was presented. Macular oedema is a cause of reduced vision following cataract surgery, which is more frequently observed in diabetic patients. The incidence of diabetic macular oedema in the study presented by Dr. S. Kim showed an incidence of 7-15%. This clearly highlights the need to develop effective treatments for macular oedema in order to prevent visual loss after uncomplicated phaco cataract surgery.
I often would consider administering an anti-VEGF such as Bevacizumab or Ranibizumab in a diabetic patient after vitrectomy surgery for proliferative diabetic retinopathy if there is a post-operative vitreous haemorrhage. A study by Dr. M. MacCumber showed the benefit of such an approach in a small series of patients, indicating that post-operative vitreous haemorrhage can be managed by intravitreal Avastin rather than repeat vitrectomy surgery.
The poor outcomes in 12 patients secondary to a severe intraocular infection with a Streptococcus following intravitreal injections with Bevacizumab (Avastin) from one compounding pharmacy in Florida were presented. This is a very virulent organism, outcomes were very poor and treatment of very limited efficacy. This highlights the importance of every step in the process from making up the intravitreal injections in pharmacy to the administration of the drug using aspetic techniques.
There were several presentations of novel imaging techniques for the retina and the choroid (the back of the eye), with some of the newer methods potentially being used in the operating room at the time of surgery, so that retinal surgery such as the peeling of membranes off the retina can be assessed per-operatively using imaging rather than clinically alone. This is analogous to the use of OCT (an imaging modality I use in clinic very regularly) during surgery as part of the operating microscope.
The impact on quality of life of floaters were also presented using visual function questionnaires and the benefits of removing floaters were confirmed in patients whose symptoms were severe enough to warrant surgery. Surgery was performed either with conventional small gauge vitrectomy (key hole surgery), or a even less invasive vitrector called the Intrector (single port instead of 3 as used in conventional surgery).
Of course, there is no retina meeting that would not discuss vitreomacular traction (also called VMT), a condition where the vitreous inside the eye causes traction on the retina and results in distortion of the retina and reduced vision. Sometimes, this traction results in a macular hole, and the vision deteriorates even further. The FDA in the United States has approved last month the use of Ocriplasmin, which is administered by intravitreal injection and causes the resolution of VMT, thus improving the vision. In case of macular hole, the release of traction can also result in closure of the hole. The MIVI Trust studies showed that VMT resolution in 30% of injected eyes, but 10% of placebo treated eyes also developed resolution of VMT. Macular hole patients also showed closure of the hole in 40% of cases with an associated visual benefit. Ocriplasmin is therefore an exciting new drug as part of our armamentarium in the management of patients with VMT and macular hole. Ocriplasmin has not been approved in Europe yet, but this is likely to follow soon.
2 monthly at a dose of 2 mg is equally effective to monthly Lucentis 0.5 mg. Elyea has a good safety profile. We are currently awaiting the approval of Eylea in Europe and in due course NICE approval. So is Eylea going to replace Avastin or Lucentis? Watch this space, as we start to gain clinical experience with the new drug. The main benefit to patient is of course the reduce number of injections, a major factor that needs to be taken into consideration! Finally, radiation therapy is possibly back, with recent data suggesting some benefit to stereotactic radiation in combination with Lucentis for wet macular degeneration, so watch this space as studies are still under way.
Please let me know if you would like to bring up any topics of interest. I realize that my newsletters are heavily retina biased, but it is clearly time to include more common anterior segment topics and this will feature in my next newsletter early in the New Year.
Finally, I would like to wish you all and your families and loved ones a very happy, healthy and successful New Year. | 2019-04-24T16:18:47Z | http://retinacare.org.uk/newsletter/autumn-2012/ |

It seems every day, even when I’ve thoroughly researched a subject or a person and am in the middle of writing about it or her, a simple session of Internet research turns up new sources and resources that at the very least enrich, at the most reinterpret what I’m doing. This is a blessing and a curse.
I love the research, as I’ve said elsewhere on this site. Once upon a time, when all we could use were books and original sources from archives, the research phase would have to finish at a certain point or we’d never start writing. Now, despite the pitfalls of stumbling on inaccurate or misleading information about one’s subject, the Internet is always there, all the time, as a resource to mine.
I think I’ve found just about everything useful for my project, and then one day I word a search slightly differently and come up with something that sheds new light on it, or fills in a blank I’d just decided to work around. It’s wonderful, but it can also be treacherous. This shiny new object I’ve just discovered—surely there’s a place I can put it in my novel? Maybe. Maybe not.
Writing is editing: There’s never been a truer word said. As writers, we’re constantly making judgments about what to include and what to leave out; what to say and leave unsaid. The true genius in a novel is getting that balance right. And that goes for research as well. I may delight in knowing the exact route of a trolley in 1910 New York, but I don’t have to take my reader on a ride with it.
So why bother with that depth of research? Even without laying it in front of the reader’s eyes, everything I know and understand about the place, period, and personages involved informs the story. Depth of knowledge creates a solid foundation that helps ensure characters don’t take missteps into anachronism.
I just discovered the video above. It was only uploaded a few days ago, so I couldn’t have discovered it before. I’m in the middle of a complete rewrite of my WIP and immersed in 1911 in New York as we speak. I didn’t learn anything much new from this video (except something about how many people fit into a car of the time), but it gave me an atmospheric view of this period I’ve been working in for years. I could watch it over and over again. | 2019-04-22T08:50:11Z | https://www.susanne.susanne-dunlap.com/2018/04/15/treasures-of-the-internet/ |
When this show My Village (ບ້ານຂອງຂ້ອຍ / ban kong koy) aired in 2013 it became likely the first national television show aimed at pre-school aged children with the goal of teaching early language skills in Laos. It even included 2 young hosts, claymation, voice over work and adorably the theme song was song by young Lao kids.
It was supported by UNICEF and produced by the Ministry of Education and Sports, Lao National TV, and Lao Star TV.
Episode 1 is shown here. There's 23 in all in its first season. | 2019-04-23T10:27:17Z | http://www.laoconnection.com/2016/12/laos-first-educational-childrens-tv-show.html |
My parents were in town for the past two weeks, so I got to show them the sights of Beijing. It was pretty gray and wet most of time, so we spent a lot of long afternoons lingering over lunch and ordering second and third cups of coffee. We managed to get out to Hong Kong and Macau for a few days. I’m really glad they were able to make it out here. | 2019-04-22T10:59:23Z | http://shuandjoe.com/?p=58 |
In simple terms, a sales process is a systematic approach involving a series of steps that enables a sales force to close more deals, increase margins and make more sales through referrals.
The 'series of steps' are customer-centric and help the sales force of a company to retain customers and increase sales volume as well as revenues. The 'series of steps' are systematic and not haphazard. Random acts produce random and uncertain results. In sales, random acts can be used occasionally, but a systematic and well-defined best practices approach can assure predictable results.
Predictable Outcomes - desired and predictable outcomes through a series of actions that could lead to more sales and higher margins.
Relevancy for Others - A good sales process may be cloned to suit other organizations and they may emulate a successful sales process model. A group of companies may apply a particularly productive sales process to all or some of its divisions.
Simply having a sales process in place doesn't guarantee anything, just like simply buying and installing exercising equipment doesn't lead to a chiseled body. Proper use makes the difference. Actively using and a desire to become willing to implement a sales process could lead to more sales.
Any ordinary sales process may produce the desired results in normal times. But an effective sales process has elasticity to accommodate extra ordinary situations. Is your company prepared to meet a sudden spike in demand for your products or services?
Does your sales process have the elasticity to deal with fluctuations in customer buying trends? Is your customer database current and up-to-date? Does your sales process take in to account the change in buyer tastes and preferences?
Effective sales processes stand the rigors of changing times and market conditions and produce the best possible results in most circumstances. An effective sales process produces sales results with unerring precision as a manufacturing unit produces finished products. An effective sales process manufactures customers. It's a 'customer manufacturing system'. Isn't that an awesome productivity tool for any company to own?
Just as a manufacturing unit uses raw materials, strategy, technology, and manpower to produce finished goods, a sales process can be viewed as an integrated method where manpower refers to the sales force, the product or service is the raw material, strategy refers to sales plans and methods, and technology refers to the latest communication and sales technologies.
Identifying and qualifying leads so as to take in to account only those prospects that truly have the potential to buy according to their importance to assign the right resources to each of them. Successful salespeople spend more time with their top revenue producing accounts.
Talk about the 'need' of the customer and develop customized value propositions to solve their business issue.
Convince the customer that your company is the one that can take care of the 'need' and none can do it better than you.
Larger percentage of profitable sales.
Forge stronger bonds between the company and the customers through the sales staff.

Old Mutual Limited has assured golfers of continued sponsorship despite its recent rebranding.
The investment and financial services group recently rebranded from Old Mutual plc to reflect its fresh customer-led approach and stronger focus on Africa.
Old Mutual chief operating officer Khumbo Phiri made the commitment when they hosted a golf tournament at the Blantyre Sports Club (BSC) on Saturday to sensitise their customers to the development.
“The theme of the tournament was Bringing Out the Champion in You, meaning that we thrive to ensure that you achieve all your financial goals.
“And as Old Mutual Limited, we will always be with you along the way. We thank Blantyre Sports Club for hosting us here as well as golfers for taking part,” he said.
BSC vice-golf captain Keta Mulwafu thanked Old Mutual for its commitment to continue supporting golf.
Geoffrince Kondwani and Hariet Marian emerged winners in men’s and women’s categories, respectively.
The 14-handicapped (h/c) Lilongwe-based Kondwani registered a 67 net-score that was spiced up by three birdies and a couple of pars.
He counted out another Lilongwe-based golfer Ken Manda (13 h/c) who had a 68 net score while Gabriel Kambale (3h/c) finished third on net 69 after counting out Gift Chidya Gondwe and Khumbo Mkandawire in that order.
In ladies’ category, Marian (22h/c) came tops with a 71 net score. She counted out Margret Mkwanda (30h/c) who had a 71 net score.
Marian said playing the game while sober was the centrepiece of her triumph.
“I came sober, alcohol was not in play in anyway and I guess that did the trick. I was also confident and relaxed,” she said.
Sophie Kalambule had the longest drive on hole eight in ladies’ category while Chidya Gondwe did it in men’s section on hole four. Linda Kunje was nearest to the pin for women on hole 14 while Peter Matiru achieved the feat in men’s section on hole 12. | 2019-04-25T12:02:28Z | https://mwnation.com/old-mutual-pledge-to-continue-sponsoring-golf/ |
‘As I Lay Dying’ is a popular group especially among American teens. The bands front man Tim Lambesis has posted a $2 million bail in a murder-for-hire case. The 32-year-old singer was arrested earlier this month after police alleged he tried to hire a hit man to kill his estranged wife.
The hit man turned out to be an undercover police officer, and Lambesis was arrested after prosecutors claim he gave the officer an envelope that contained $1000, personal information and a photo of his wife.
Lambesis lawyer Thomas Warwick is committing to an unusual defense. He is claiming Lambesis’s judgment was impaired by steroid use. The singer is rumored to be a serious body builder and a spokesman for nutritional supplements. He is due back in court on June 10th, if convicted he could face up to nine years in prison. | 2019-04-18T18:58:38Z | http://thethinkering.com/articles/2013/05/31/i-lay-dying-front-man-released-2-million-bail |
Teachers and scholars at the Vassal Lane Upper School celebrated summer reading as a community on Friday, September 7th.
Last spring, every faculty member at Vassal Lane selected one book to read during the summer, and the staff created a Faculty Book List to share with incoming scholars. Each scholar was required to read one book from the Vassal Lane Faculty Book List and to return back to school in September ready to discuss the book in a small book group.
On the first Friday of the school year, teachers and scholars met and discussed their books in more than forty small book groups. Book groups met outside on the field behind the school on a beautiful, sunny afternoon.
One Vassal Lane scholar noted that students made their book selections both based on interest in the book and on their connections with particular teachers. Book groups had a mix of sixth, seventh, and eighth grade scholars, giving everyone a chance to get to know each other a little better outside of their regular classroom schedules and groupings.
The most popular books on the Faculty Book List were The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, Every Day by David Leviathan, and Wonder by R.J. Palatio. In addition, a large number of scholars enjoyed two of the nonfiction titles on the Faculty Book List: A Black Hole is NOT a Hole by Carolyn DeCristofano and Race: A History Beyond Black and White by Marc Aronson.
Faculty members and scholars are looking forward to the next opportunity to share books together as Vassal Lane continues to strengthen and celebrate its growing community of readers. | 2019-04-19T07:02:44Z | http://vassallane.cpsd.us/school_news/vassal_lane_upper_school_celebrates_summer_reading |
New drive has 'front-of-house' quietness!
Rotate one pattern, what you see is what you get!
Add a 'still' in the pattern holder and the rotating patterns will animate the still pattern, making leaves rustle, flames dance and stars twinkle!
TwinSpin™ rotates two 'B' size patterns (Jr. Takes "M" size) in opposition to each other, at variable speeds and slides easily into the drop-in iris slot of a 6 inch ellipsoidal. You can see any combination of two GAM Patterns rotating together by clicking on "Virtual TwinSpin".
When you use a single pattern in TwinSpin™, 'what you see is what you get'. The design you choose looks the same as it would if you placed it in a standard pattern holder - but motion is added. Rotating fast or slow, the single pattern can make a simple eloquent visual statement. It is effective as a downlight as well as projected on a cyc, scenery or on people. TwinSpin can also be used as a tool to adjust the position of a pattern by remote control. - See Indexing TwinSpin™ model.
When you project two patterns of the same design, TwinSpin™ rotates them in opposition to each other. The look you achieve is different from the original look of the pattern. It often has a shimmering or sparkling quality. High speed dazzles. Slow movement creates a mesmerizing, dream-like effect. Changing lens focus can change the appearance dramatically. Add GamColor® in your color frame for more variety.
Two different pattern designs used in the TwinSpin™ create a new design-a-hybrid with its own unique visual expression. As the patterns turn, shapes change. Areas of light projection may appear and disappear. It is important to choose two compatible designs so that one doesn't block out too much light and cancel out the other. With mixed doubles, lens focus can emphasize one or the other or center on both.
You can place one or two patterns in the TwinSpin™, then add an additional design in the pattern holder of your fixture. The rotating pattern or patterns will animate the 'still'. With some experimenting, you can make leaves rustle, flames dance, stars twinkle.
Add color to the gel frame, try a split gel by taping two pieces together for more variety.
Hundreds of Great American Patterns are available in 'B' size and are suitable for use in the TwinSpin™. To see any possible combination of GAM Patterns rotating, click Virtual TwinSpin™. | 2019-04-20T04:56:15Z | http://www.gamonline.com/catalog/twinspin/index.php |
Since Tommy wrote about our DIY fence project yesterday, I thought I’d follow it up with a blog about our deck.
FYI, the photo above captures the state of our backyard pre-fence construction. Tommy wasn’t kidding – the brush, pine limbs, and poison oak were out of control. Our trips to Patient First for poison ivy treatment were frequent last summer.
One of the first things we did when we moved in last spring was re-stain our deck. Originally, the deck was a (little offensive) red-orange that like our back yard, showed signs of definite neglect.
We chose to stain our deck because it wasn’t in great shape to begin with, and we knew we weren’t in a place to rip the current deck off and rebuild yet. So we chose a taupe brown stain to match the back door.
We were also fortunate enough to inherit a patio table and set of four chairs from Tommy’s mom and step-dad.
The white chairs and table frame (above) looked a little stark, so we decided to freshen those up with some chocolate brown paint, too.
Everything else, with the exception of the blue bench (more on that later), we were able to purchase at a discount.
I think the best thing about updating a deck or patio is that it can be done cost efficiently, since most of the stuff you buy is seasonal and is guaranteed to go on sale at some point towards the middle or end of the summer.
• We found the blue mosaic outdoor pillows on sale at Restoration Hardware in July for $10 each.
• We bought the umbrella on sale at Pier 1 for about $60, and we didn’t have to wait late into the summer for that to get reduced. I think we bought it in early June.
• The glider were purchased at Home Depot at the end of the season – and despite the fact that the stain has faded, it has held up great.
• The doormat I just bought at Target a couple of weeks ago for $19.99. | 2019-04-26T09:48:48Z | http://tommyandellie.com/index.php/2011/03/29/our-cheap-deck-update/ |
Arlo Smart is a product that allows you to add AI features to your Arlo cameras. The cameras can not only trigger when sensing motions, they can record the motion, highlight what caused the camera to trigger the recording mode, and is programmable to ignore certain triggers.
You can set it, for example, to ignore certain animals or traffic. You can also set it to ignore motion in certain parts of the field of view, only triggering if there is motion outside of allowable areas – perfect for monitoring a high-traffic area with a restriction space, or for monitoring an animal pen or a room with a pet or guard animal inside.
The software learns, too, so a false trigger one day shouldn’t happen again the next day, allowing you to filter out certain things that are only subtly different than those you want to detect.
These features reduce the stress and alarm caused by false triggering of the device, which adds to the peace and security you and your family will feel.
Arlo puts a lot of R&D investment into algorithms and machine learning technology, and is seeking to solve automated security problems we currently grapple with, as well as those we can foresee as issues in the future. | 2019-04-25T16:02:59Z | https://thesmarthome.guide/brands/arlo/ |
Letters of presentation are among the essential elements of the employment application procedure. After that, you must verify the letter. The letter must also contain the company’s logo, in addition to the signature of the person who writes the letter. It must also be dated and signed correctly. Most employment verification letters include the name of the person, their department in the business (sometimes they must include their precise job title) and the total amount of time they have been employed.
To be brief, a letter of verification is not a reference, just to offer proof of employment. The letter of verification should incorporate the appropriate format for small businesses, correct greetings, along with vital details about the current state of employment. An employment verification letter is a letter that is used to verify which employee currently holds a certain position. Typically, employment verification letters will be written by a manager on behalf of the workers.
If contact information is provided, contact all companies listed for verification. It is very important for an employer to verify all information written on the applicant’s resume to protect the organization and its current employees. Understanding how to ask concise reference questions about work developed to obtain genuinely valuable information can facilitate the contraction of time.
Some people use third-party verification to authenticate the presence of the business enterprise. In the future you will have to submit a medical verification that you are under the care of a doctor if you need future periods of unscheduled absences. The verification of income for a single-business entrepreneur, independent contractor or independent professional need not be more challenging than for someone who receives a salary or normal salary.
Many times, it is someone who has been in a company for more than three years. Then the company must give an employment verification letter. Be professional and respectful once you contact the corporation. Many companies also choose to include the background check as part of the pre-employment course of action. Be sure not to omit any provider. You can check the business and your contact information by looking up the name and contact number of the company in the white pages. So, even when it is a small business, you must be adequately prepared to write a clear and professional letter.
Verifying past employment is crucial. Any employer can choose to send a conditional employment letter to a different employee in any market, but it is very common in the public sector. Some employers offer only standard information about work history, such as the dates you worked and if they would rehire you. The applicant may offer information during the interview, but it is up to the employer to verify the credentials and verify the applicant’s claims regarding their background. Finally, ask the contact if there is anything else he would like to inform you about the applicant. Especially if someone is applying for a job that requires driving, finding a driver’s record is critical because it will reveal tickets and accidents. Check the individual’s curriculum. | 2019-04-22T09:12:47Z | https://charlotteclergycoalition.com/letter-to-verify-employment/ |
It feels like Disney is about to bear a serious loss as the much awaited sequel of the Pirates Of the Caribbean has been stolen from their servers.
We believe that the real pirates are in action now!
So the story started when the hackers accessed the servers of Disney and managed to swipe the forthcoming sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Well, the story did not end with the plundering and took a very interesting turn when the hackers started their threatening game.
A ransom has been demanded from Disney, a rejection of which can result in the online release of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Now there is a twist in the ransom too, they need the digital currency- bitcoins! No doubt, the real life pirates are playing quite safe.
Interestingly, the spokesperson of Disney maintained silence over the movie’s name that has been purloined, yet, it is strongly assumed to be the next sequel of the pirates of the Caribbean series.
According to some sources, Disney is not in favor of addressing their demands and has sought the help of police to unveil the faces behind the crime.
Well, a successful mass media company like Disney taking such a major risk makes us wonder the possible reason behind its refusal to pay the ransom.
One possible reason could be that Disney is not willing to support its opponents to repeat their act for the sake of making money again.
Well, the sequel is scheduled to be release on the 26th of May, and is expected to do a great business.
Fans are eagerly waiting to watch their favorite actor Johnny Depp as Captain Jack sparrow, more than the movie itself.
Johnny Depp is all set to make a remarkable comeback in this upcoming sequel of Pirates and the Caribbean and we are simply expecting him to weave his same old magic again! | 2019-04-19T02:43:21Z | https://watchotc.com/hackers-demand-ransom-from-disney/ |

Keshava, the washerman had a donkey. They worked together all day, and Keshava would pour out his heart to the doneky. One day, Keshava was walking home with the donkey when he felt tired. He tied the donkey to a tree and sat down to rest for a while, near a school. A window was open, and through it, a teacher could be heard scolding the students. ‘Here I am, trying to turn you donkeys into human beings, but you just won’t study !’ As soon as Keshava heard these words, his ears pricked up. A man who could actually turn donkeys into humans ! This was the answer to his prayers. Impatiently, he waited for school to be over that day. when everyone had gone home, and only the teacher remained behind to check some papers, Keshava entered the classroom.
‘How can I help you ?’ asked the teacher. Keshava scratched his head and said, ‘I heard what you said to the children. This donkey is my companion. If you made it human, we could have such good times together.’ The teacher decided to trick Keshava. He pretended to think for a while and then said, ‘Give me six months and it will cost you a thousand rupees.’ The washerman agreed and rushed home to get the money. He then left the donkey in the teacher’s care.
The headman understood someone had played a trick on Keshava. ‘I am not your donkey !’ he said. ‘Go find the sage in the forest.’ Keshava found the sage sitting under a tree with his eyes closed, deep in meditation. He crept up and grabbed the sage’s beard. ‘Come back home now !’ he shouted. The startled sage somehow calmed Keshava. When he heard what had happened, he had a good laugh.

Our lifestyles may not seem important now when we think of our old age - that far far future that is inevitable. But somehow I think it might just be important to start thinking of the now to prepare myself for those days!
After a morning at the salon.
It’s amazing how a little bit of pampering can go a long way in helping life seem just a bit more normal. While I’ve written about this topic before I think it deserves a “redo” as I was reminded again this morning of its importance to Mom’s overall wellbeing. | 2019-04-23T22:28:39Z | https://alzheimersdementianamibia.wordpress.com/2014/07/ |
A very warm good morning to the respected teachers and my dear friends gathered here. Today we are gathered here to celebrate this auspicious occasion of Independence day on 15th of August. We celebrate this day with lots of enthusiasm and joy every year because our country got freedom at this day in 1947 from the British rule. We are here to celebrate nth number of independence day. It is great and most significant day for all Indians. People of India had suffered cruel behavior of Britishers for many years. Today we have freedom in almost all fields such as education, sports, transportation, business, etc just because of the years of struggle of our forefathers. Before 1947, people were not so free even they were restricted to have rights on their own body and mind. They were slave of Britishers and forced to follow all the orders of them. Today we are free to do anything because of the great Indian leaders who struggled hard for many years to get freedom against British rule.
Independence day is celebrated all over India with much pleasure. This day is of great importance to all Indian citizens as it gives us opportunity to remember all those freedom fighters who had sacrificed their lives just for giving us a beautiful and peaceful life. Earlier to the independence, people were not allowed to get education, eat healthy food and live normal life like us. We should be grateful to those events responsible for the freedom in India. Indians were treated more badly than slaves by the Britishers just to fulfill their meaningless orders.
Some of the great freedom fighters of India are Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhiji, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpath Ray, Bhagat Singh, Khudi Ram Bose and Chandra Sekhar Azad. They were famous patriots who struggled hard for the freedom of India till the end of their life. We cannot imagine that horrible moment struggled by our forefathers. Now, after many years of independence our country is on the right track of development. Today our country is a well established democratic country all over the world. Gandhiji was great leader who taught us about effective way of freedom like ahimsa and sathyagraha methods. Gandhi dreamed of an independent India with the non violence and peace.
India is our mother country and we are its citizens. We should always be ready to save it from the bad people. It is our responsibility to lead our country ahead and make it a best country of the world.
Very good morning to the honorable Chief Guest of the day, respected teachers, parents and my all dear friends. I wish you all a very Happy Independence Day. We all know the reason of get together here in such a big crowd. We all are excited celebrating this great day in such an excellent manner. We are gathered here to celebrate nth independence day of our nation. First of all we hoist our honorable national flag then give a salute to all the heroic deeds of the freedom fighters. I am feeling so proud to be an Indian citizen. I have such a great chance to give a speech on the Independence Day in front of you all. I would like to say thanks to my respected class teacher that she has given me an opportunity to share my views with you all about the freedom of India.
A very good morning to the excellencies, respected teachers and my dear colleagues. We are gathered here to celebrate nth Independence day. I am very happy to speech here on this great occasion. I am very grateful to my class teacher to give me such a special opportunity to say my views on the independence day of my country. At this special occasion of independence day I would like to speech on the India’s struggle for getting freedom from the British rule.
Long years ago, great Indian leaders were made a tryst with the destiny to give us a free and peaceful country by sacrificing their comfort of life. Today we are gathered here to celebrate independence day without any fear and having happy face just because of our brave forefathers. We cannot imagine that how the moment was critical at that time. We have nothing to give our forefathers in return for their precious hard works and sacrifices. We can only remember them and their deeds and make a heartily salute while celebrating the national events. They would always be in our hearts. After the independence India get new birth with happy face of all Indian citizens.
India got independence on 15th of August in 1947 from the clutches of British rule. Indian people all over the country celebrate this national festival annually with lots of joy and enthusiasm. It was great day for all the Indian citizens when India’s tricolor flag was unfolded by the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, at the Red Fort, Delhi.
A huge celebration takes place in New Delhi at Rajpath every year where national anthem is sung after the flag hoisting by prime minster. Together with the national anthem a salute through 21 guns firing and showering of flowers through helicopter is given to the national flag. Independence day is a national holiday however everyone celebrate this from their own places by hosting the flags in schools, offices or society. We should feel proud to be an Indian and try our best to save the honor of our country. | 2019-04-22T22:39:10Z | http://www.whatsappcity.in/2016/08/indepenence-day-speech-2016.html |
Is it safe to move memory cards from older versions ?
I recently installed PCSX2 1.4.0 after the old 1.2.1 which I played some months ago. I noticed that all my save files from games (God of War, Crash Bandicoot, MGS3 etc...) has been reset (probably new ones created from the new version), so I'm wondering can I copy/paste my previous memory cards or should I avoid doing this ?
