The Tibet memory project founded by Tsering Topgyal and Tsering Choephel aims to document through digitalization, old photographs kept in the homes of elderly Tibetans in the settlements of India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Tibet memory project will collect the stories linked to the photos as the individuals recall them. Likewise, they will interact with the elderly in each settlement and film what the individuals choose to share with the public.\nThe project will be showcased at TCV and CTA Schools. This is of importance since it is a way of educating younger Tibetans about their history, about the traditions, aspirations, and struggles of the first Tibetans in exile. The project is an ensured way to make a significant contribution to the preservation of unifying Tibetan identity in exile.\nOn November 4th, 2017 they started their journey to seek photos of early Tibetans in exile. They went to places such as Shimla, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Mainpat Pending settlement and Bhandara Norgyeling settlement. Throughout their journey, they met numerous elderly and families of early Tibetans who had a story to share. They also received a number of photos which are posted with the stories that correspond to the photos if accessible. They are hoping to visit many more places to gather further photos to display to the public.

If you were watching re-runs of NCIS on USA this afternoon at 4.30 then shame on you. You should have been glued to PA Live where you could have seen Moving to NEPA on live television in all it’s glory.\nThis is not my first television appearance. As many of you will know, at the height of punk, as an 8 year old, you could spot my jacket in the crowd at Southampton vs Man Utd fixture in 1979 on Match of the Day. Plus my Auntie Pauline spotted me on the 10 o’clock news at a poll tax demonstration that got slightly out of hand in Bristol.\nSeriously, thanks to everyone involved at Nepablogs and PA Live. It’s amazing that blogging is so popular in this part of the world that it’s deserving of such media attention.

Paolo Bacigalupi, New York Times best-selling author and National Book Award finalist, dives once again into our uncertain future with his first thriller for adults since his multi-award-winning debut phenomenon The Windup Girl.\nWhen rumors of a game-changing water source surface in drought-ravaged Phoenix, Angel is sent to investigate. There he encounters Lucy Monroe, a hardened journalist with no love for Vegas and every reason to hate Angel, and Maria Villarosa, a young Texas refugee who survives by her wits and street smarts in a city that despises everything she represents.\nWith bodies piling up, bullets flying, and Phoenix teetering on collapse, it seems like California is making a power play to monopolize the life-giving flow of a river. For Angel, Lucy, and Maria, time is running out, and their only hope for survival rests in each other's hands. But when water is more valuable than gold, alliances shift like sand, and the only thing for certain is that someone will have to bleed if anyone hopes to drink.\n©2015 Paolo Bacigalupi (P)2015 Audible Inc.\nVery Credible near-future thriller - elegantly conceived and written - superbly read by Almarie Guerra. Has resonances in strong states-rights, water shortages and internal refugee migrations. The ending is surprising and believably satisfying.\nSlow to start, this book became very exciting. Who isn't affected by drought?\nThis book will grab you......AND what if?\nWater rights on the Colorado River have been debated and negotiated for almost 100 years and the existing agreements are actually rather complex. The southwestern US, arid by nature, is completely dependent on water from the Colorado River which originates from the north. Upper Basin States are bound by "The Law of the River" to let the water flow south to support the needs of California, Nevada, and Arizona. So what happens when the climate changes and the available water is only a fraction of what is needed for all involved? Well, you find yourself in the dusty, apocalyptic setting of the Water Knife where law and lawlessness exist in equal measure within the southwestern US.\nDue to a lack of water many southwestern cities have gone dry and the constitution is modified to no longer guarantee safe travel between the states. States borders are closed to limit population growth and patrolled by state military and local militia. The federal government sits back and lets the individual states handle border disagreements on their own but they loom as an ever present threat should any state go too far in their dealings with their neighbors.\nThe Southern Nevada Water Authority is a bully of an organization with a private army willing to do whatever is necessary to gain control of as many water rights as possible. These rights are being used to build sustainable "arcologies" for the wealthy that keep Las Vegas alive and profitable. With California more than able to protect itself from Nevada, the SNWA turns its military and legal might against Arizona. Phoenix is just about out of water and has become a hell hole of poverty where lawlessness has the upper hand. #phoenixdownthetubes documents the slow death of the local population for the rest of the world to see online and there is little hope of a better future.\nPaolo Baciagalupi inserts a cast of interesting characters into this setting and Almarie Guerra brings them to life with an excellent narration. Her reading of the story kept me interested from beginning to end and the characters felt like real people in an all too possible apocalypse. I was intrigued enough by the story to do a little extra reading on "The Law of the River" to improve my understanding of how the water rights of this region have been handled over the years and that made the scenario all the more plausible.\nSo if you like apocalyptic fiction and are up for something different from the standard fare of zombies, epidemics, and nuclear war then you have come to the right place.\nI loved this book! I couldn't guess how it would end and I couldn't stop listening until I found out.\nThe story is standard-for-the genre explorations of good vs evil, idealism vs realism, perceived vs real power, and the human drive to survive at any cost, but each of the characters grew more relatable throughout. Some even surprised me with not-so-standard for the genre explorations of how much the power players really know and control.\nOn the one hand, I share the complaints of other listeners re the narrator's mis-pronunciation of common English words. Each time, the fact that the decimated word might be found on a middle school vocabulary test is more distracting than the mis-pronunciation itself. Where were the producers?!\nOn the other hand, I liked the narration. A lot. Ms. Guerra does a fine job with both male and female voices and I had no problem moving from character to character. In my opinion, the reader captured the tone of the novel and the voice of each character. Were it not for the pronunciation errors scattered throughout, it would be a near-flawless reading. And I listen to A LOT of audiobooks with a A LOT of narrators, from great to awful and everything in between.\nUse a credit and get this book!\nA much better performance. I love books and audiobooks are a great way for me to "read" while I exercise. Unfortunately, my mind kept on wandering because the performance was so poor.\nI couldn't even get through the book to get to the ending because of the performance. Too bad because the story description really had me excited.\nWhat didn’t you like about Almarie Guerra’s performance?\nThe voices didn't really change. It was fairly monotone.\nI think the world is big, and we broke it.\n(My favorite quote from the book.) This was the first book of Bacigalupi's that I've read, and I think it's going to stick with me for a long time. At least for now—having just finished it—I feel like it has simultaneously renewed and destroyed my faith in mankind. Disaster inspires the most selfless acts of kindness in some people, and the worst kind of avarice in others. The key players struggle with which kind of person they're going to be. Bacigalupi tells the story in stark reality.\nWith the southwestern US currently suffering from a megadrought, this story could hit terribly close to home for the people who live there, and I almost want to caution them not to read it, because it could give them nightmares. I would also caution anyone sensitive to violence. But if you want to think deeply about some of the potential consequences of climate change and untangle a web of corporate and governmental lies and deceit at the same time, this is the book for you.\nI couldn't get into this audio book at all. The story was boring and I never cared one bit about the characters.\nI read, and liked, the Windup Girl Chronicle, by the same author. In this, the setting was compelling and the characters and story engaging. But I didn't like the graphic torture, and lost interest.\nWould you try another book from Paolo Bacigalupi and/or Almarie Guerra?\nI might try another book by Bacigalupi But the Narrator seemed intent on destroying the book. Not only did every Male charecter have an eerily similar mexican "chollo" accent but distinguishing the charecter was near impossible while Almarie Guerra was reading. I literally stopped my audio book after several hours and bought the hard copy to finish.\nWould you recommend The Water Knife to your friends? Why or why not?\nWould you be willing to try another one of Almarie Guerra’s performances?\nWas The Water Knife worth the listening time?\nThis is a well written book performed by someone who cannot do different voices for charecters making it hard to follow. And I would truly recomend just buying the hard copy of this book and staying away from the audio version.\nThe storyline is a great idea, water will likely be the next crisis, but the author just could not pull it off. I know other people seem to like him but I just didn't enjoy his writing at all. The narrator certainly did not do a believable or accurate chollo or cholla accent. I am a retired army officer and native Texan living in a border town working at a county hospital so profanity, gore, violence does not bother me but this was senseless and disgusting sensationalism. All in all just a poorly done book. Sad to say I believed the Audible reviews and they lied to me AGAIN!\nWorth your time and credit!\nThis book gets it right on so many levels.\nThe characters, their journeys and motivations are very clear. The story is engaging and intelligent without being self-important. AND, I can emphasis this enough, it actually has an interesting plot that propels action forward.\nI've read so many books where plot is just a starting point for a lot of long winded prose and character development. Then somewhere towards the end you get a resolution that is completely unsatisfying or ridiculous. So actually reading a book that starts out good and continues to be good all the way through was such a breath of fresh air.\nI loved the premise of the story. A world in which water is such a precious commodity that technology and politics revolve around the control of it. I liked the characters, too. I lost interest, however, when there were a couple of torture scenes that were, in my opinion, over the top graphic and violent. Just not my thing, so I didn't finish the last 1/4 of the book.\nLoved his other books, this author just gets better and better. Stunningly realised world with wonderful characters that stay with you long after you've finished the book. The story is matched by the narration which is excellent. My fave audio book so far this year.\nI did enjoy this but it felt like an episode of a TV series rather than a movie. There were a lot of incidental characters that felt a little underdeveloped (although the main characters were well created and fleshed out.) I feel it could have done with another major story arc to really 'deepen' the story. Still enjoyable - just a little 'empty'. Definitely worth a read or listen though.\nA slow and slightly confusing start but then I'm not used to listening to books, I like to read. It got going for me in the 5th chapter and though there are some gory scenes, nothing a light weight like me couldn't handle as it wasn't gratuitous and moved the plot along. I found it really engaging and wanted to know what was going to happen next. I came to love the very dodgy water knife 'Angel' and am strangely missing him already. Oh dear, maybe that says a lot about me.\nThis isn't science fiction, this is slightly projected current events.\nAll too believable, scarily concievable. I loved Wind-Up Girl and this is even better.. so much grittier and closer to home.\nI had no idea how Paolo was going to manage an ending that didn't sell out or frustrate... but he managed it perfectly.\nThe narration was also excellent.. to the point I was starting to use some of the Hispanic phrases and expressions in my head.\nAnother totally immersive read. I need to brush up on my Spanish. I need to buy water shares and dig a well!\nWould you try another book written by Paolo Bacigalupi or narrated by Almarie Guerra?\nProbably not. The narrator is very poor. The bad accents and strange cadence hurts my ears.\nThe performance should have been a bit more neutral. Every line sounds over the top and far from natural. Cringing.

Sometimes, when we study hard and get some sort of opportunities in respect to salary packages, positions, and safe future, we drive our self to that corporate life but with the time, you start feeling that it’s not your cup of tea.\nYou start thinking that you should do business rather than the boring corporate job and probably, that’s the reason you are on this page and reading this article. Quitting your boring corporate career is always a difficult thing to do; either you are 21 years old young guy or you are 45 years old man having 2 kids.\nA 21 year old has to look for his own pocket money, needs to complete his family demands or have many questions for their future whereas a 45 year old guy has to look after their family, kids and saving plans for the future of his family.\nIn both the cases, quitting the job is very tough but if you follow the way I did for quitting my boring corporate career then you will be in a better position to successfully launch your own business.\nIf you are in your 20s, you should not worry about money. Your primary focus to learn about is the relationship. Yes! Build relationships. Every person has a few comfortable friends in their life but doesn’t stick to them! Go and meet new people, someone older or wiser.\nConnect yourself to the industry peoples, don’t drag yourself directly into business. Know the more wealthiest guy in your community and take your time for picking a decision. This is what I personally did in my life and achieved the taste of success.\nSecondly, my focus was to keep myself engaged with novels, biographies and keep learning from them. Don’t stop reading, learning, asking questions and challenging yourself.\nWhen you leave your corporate job, you leave your monthly salary. Now, you are in the business where you have to invest, wait and watch, keep hustling, no office time and keep learning from your failures. Most importantly, you have to follow your passion and never quit once you are in.\nYes, Ask Yourself! Do you want to quit the job or do you need to quit the job? There is always a difference in these two and you need to keep yourself straight and forward about your thinking.\nIf you are bored from your corporate job, start preparing yourself for launching your own business. There is a timeframe for everything. Don’t quit the job just because you have motivation or an idea to start the business. Sometimes, an idea is not enough and you need to have proper plan/knowledge for proceeding with business.\n1. Are you ready to live without money for 2-3 years?\nYou might have a good investment for now but with the launching and for carrying out this business, you may not have a sufficient balance for your daily life. Are you ready to give your time and money for the next 2-3 years at least? A job could provide you sustained income but that’s not true with a startup. It’s not about money only, you might not be able to find time for your family. are you ready for that?\n2. Any evidence or proof that you could trust in your business idea?\nIf you are bringing something new to the market, what’s your Unique Selling Point (USP) and how will you market your service or product? Do you have any sort of evidence or proof that your idea or business will fly up high?\n3. What if some sort of obstacle comes your way and doesn’t get solved?\nWhile doing business, we start facing problems within or outside the market. We start competing for the market. It might be possible that they can provide some better packages in terms of price or service so what would you do? What would you do if you face any legal issues? Are you the person who loves to solve the problems?\nIf you are honest and have paused in answering these questions, then think about looking for a different job which is fascinating or interesting than starting a business.\n4. What should you do before quitting your job?\nThere is a word “Time Management”. Whenever you start doing more than 2 things, you need to manage the time accordingly. You need to increase your work efficiency, start working on your idea till late night and get as many pros and cons as much you can.\nStart meeting new and wiser people, communicating with them and start making a relationship. Sometimes, your connection with them is more than enough for running your startup.\nStart making short goals, achieve them and then admire by gifting something to yourself. Short goals will lead you to fulfill your dream. Make your daily tasks, complete them and then go for the next one. Once you are 100% sure about your working plan, leave the corporate boring job and start hustling into the business world.\nThis is what I did for myself and that’s why I recommended you to look at these things. My motto was not here to demotivate or motivate you but to keep you straight with the points.\nWhat is your experience from leaving your corporate job to starting your own business? Please leave your thoughts below!\nJitendra Vaswani is a professional blogger, speaker and an influential digital marketer.

Recruiting is one of emc design's biggest challenges and finding the right person can be hard, as is finding the right job if you’re a designer. So one of the best ways you can stand out at the early recruitment stage is to have a stellar design portfolio. It’s not always just about what content you put in your portfolio though! So emc design gathered together a couple of our top tips for making sure your portfolio is in top shape for 2016!\nThis can be something simple; a page at the beginning of your portfolio to introduce yourself and the work you’re presenting.\nLimit the number of projects you choose to put in your portfolio. Selecting the right ones can be hard, so make sure to choose the ones that best highlight your skills and the area of design you are interested in, as well as the ones you enjoyed the most. This will give you the advantage of showing off your best skills and will show confidence in your work as you’ll be able to talk in depth (and enthusiastically) about each one at interview stage.\nTry not to cram as much as possible onto one page. It’s hard to focus on a single piece of work when there are lots of other things around it. You want to highlight your work and show a clear thought process by laying it out in a clear and concise order. Consider how to structure your work, do you want page numbers, headers, a contents page? As well as thinking about the navigational features. Use the design of your portfolio as another way to show off your skills.\nIf you show that you have taken the time and have the ability to brand yourself consistently on each page you will definitely stand out as one of the better designers. It also makes it easier to see which work belongs to you when laid out next to other portfolios at the selection stage of recruitment.\nMake sure the work you’re presenting is your own work and ideas. Although it’s good to see you can work within a team try to avoid using projects that you have worked on in a group. Unless it is obvious what work was solely your own, it can sometimes be hard to distinguish who did what and whether ideas were yours or others in the group. If you are going to include group work perhaps consider showing a page of your thought processes and ideas too, which will help demonstrate the contribution you have made.\nMost designers have an online/digital portfolio, which is fantastic, especially as it shows recruiters you have technical skills in digital software. However, if you’re going to use a tablet or laptop to present your work, don’t forget the printed version. This is important as it physically demonstrates your ability to select work and present it in an orderly and beautifully designed way. As well as helping recruiters, at selection stages, to have something of yours to hand.\nIt goes without saying really, but make sure you have thoroughly spell checked your portfolio. Grammatical errors and typos are real bugbears of ours. As are sloppy things like pixelated images, fonts that aren’t embedded and pages that you have to rotate the right way up!\nTry not to build and bulk out your portfolio with old and irrelevant examples of your work. Refresh it and have a clear out a couple of times a year to make sure it’s at its best. Remember your portfolio is a work in progress and is never truly finished.\nYou may end up having 3 or 4 different versions of the same kind of work but tailored slightly differently. For example, if you are applying to emc design put your best and most relevant editorial samples at the front of your portfolio. If you’re applying to a marketing agency put your logo and branding work at the front.\nThis post originally appeared on emc design's blog in January 2016.

"It will be painful, but I am certain I will manage, yes." Ossica replied to Felicity's question. The medic who had wrapped her leg shook her head slightly.\n"The more you walk on it, the longer it will take to heal. There's some muscle damage that can't be fixed except with bacta and time."\nOssica waved off the comment. "I will rest when it is safe to do so."\nThe man who oversaw the safe house frowned in Felicity's direction. "Your best bet for rest is right here. This is the most hidden safe house in the city, and they'll be swarming all over the city right now. At least wait until we can set up another place to move you to, and get a plan together."\nSeraphine's walk down the ramp of her shuttle had more in common with a fashion model's strut than that of an approaching dignitary. She used sensualism as a practiced weapon, and it was seldom that it missed its mark.\nHer step faltered ever so slightly, however, as she reached the bottom of the ramp and looked at Leland's face. It was not an expression of happiness at seeing her, nor a cool professionalism, but was more a dourness as if he had been forced upon with a bitter brew.\nHis name was barely off her tongue before a detachment of troops flanked her from all sides, making it quite apparent that fleeing was not an option.\nHer two bodyguards sprung into action, imposing themselves between the danger and their mistress as best they could. They were trained warriors, but their function was much more ceremonial than practical, and even were that not the case, there were too many opponents to make such a fight worthwhile.\n"Stand down. Stay with the ship." She signaled her guards, who backed away to the edge of the ramp.\nSeraphine turned her attention to Leland, trying to glean as much as she could from the situation, suppressing a tremor of fear that passed through her body.\nBetrayal? From Leland? Of course it was not out of the question, she had known going in to their little arrangement that betrayal was one of the more likely outcomes, but this did not feel quite right. Leland seemed legitimately unsettled by what was happening, not to mention that if betrayal had been his intention, he was jumping the gun by striking so quickly. It would have been much more beneficial for him to wait until she had passed some truly useful information along.\nShe looked Leland in the eyes as his guards approached her, putting her hands in binders behind her back.\n"What is the meaning of this, Sir Leland?" She spoke as calmly as she could, but there was so keeping the edge of fear out of her voice. "I come bearing aid in the name of House Borrocor, and I am to be treated as a criminal?"\nLeland sighed and looked away for the briefest of moments. When he finally resolved himself he looked her directly in the eyes. "Forgive me, Lady Seraphine, but I have misjudged my father. I invited you here under the pretense of friendship but my father had other ideas. It seems he believes that Lord Borrocor was somehow implicit in the attack that put my sister in the emergency room."\nHe cast a glance from her back to the two guards standing behind her. He absolutely hated having to do this but he could not defy his father. "Please have your guards lower their weapons and surrender themselves and if you would be so kind inform your pilot that he is to disembark unarmed."\n"Whether we leave now or not it won't make a difference," Felicity said, glancing back at the man behind her, "The only way out of here is the spaceport on top of the central pillar, correct? Charles knows that and as long as he can guard it he can take all the time he wants looking for us cause where else are we going to go? At the very least if we leave now there's a chance his people won't be in position yet."\nThe overseer's frown deepened further. "The turbolift to the spaceport is likely to be heavily guarded," he said, "There's no way you and your companions will make it to the top."\n"Not from the inside," she answered simply, "Is there a way we can get in from the outside?"\nAt first no one answered her and Felicity looked at each person in turn, imploring them to help her. "Is there a way," she repeated.\nAgain there was silence until a moment later a small voice spoke up from the back. "There is," a man near the entrance of the room said quietly, "There's a platform above the pillar just below the dome. You'll find a maintenance hatch there that will lead directly into the spaceport. I've used it several times back when I used to work there."\n"Do you know where this maintenance hatch is? Can you lead us to it," Felicity asked and the man nodded in response. "Now all we need is a speeder," she said, then she turned to look back at the overseer, "Do your people have access to a vehicle?"\nUnless Lord Ducant had evidence that her father had been involved. If that were the case, then she had just practically walked in as a sacrificial lamb for whatever retributions were to take place. She half considered running for the shuttle, but she knew that was beyond pointless. Even if she could make it to the shuttle, there was no chance of escape.\n"I..." She tried to think of something to say that would change her situation, but there was none. She would just have to ride this out until the political situation between her father and the Lord Ducant came to some sort of resolution.\nSignaling to her guards, she gave a slightly jerky nod. "Lower to your weapons." The guard were quick to do so; any loyalties aside, they knew a hopeless situation when they saw one.\nA minute or so later, the shuttle crew likewise was on the landing pad, unarmed and at the mercy of their captors.\n"Please tell your father that I am an emissary of peace with humanitarian aid. This treatment will not get him either sympathy or advantage." Seraphine's voice had a slight waver to it, much to her internal annoyance, but she managed to at least sound halfway composed.\nThe man nodded. "Yes, we can get a speeder once the patrols have died down a little. I will make some calls." He moved to excuse himself and Titus approached Felicity, lowering his voice to speak to her more privately.\n"This is a bold plan, Fel- my lady." He corrected himself, noting that Felicity looked slightly uncomfortable at her new found title. "Operating outside of an atmosphere is a difficult task, even for someone who's trained. Putting someone who hasn't developed that discipline in that environment..." His eyes cut meaningfully over to Autumn. "Could be disastrous. We both need to make sure she is as focused and mentally prepared as possible before we attempt this."

According to the Washington, DC-based Coalition / Against Insurance Fraud (CAIF) for the insurance industry, and for the public as well, insurance fraud costs $85 billion per year. With such substantial damage, it is no wonder that the industry is making significant efforts to battle this cancer. The industry has decided that increasing public awareness of fraud is its main course of action. The coalition strongly believes that public attitudes are crucial to curtailing fraud. There are no easy solutions to the problems of insurance fraud. Consumers, legislators, regulators, and insurers must work together over the long term to create an environment that either prevents insurance fraud or detects it easily when it occurs. The first step in this process is creating a baseline understanding of the problem and potential solutions .\n- Know and identify Insurance Fraud Facts.\n- Understand how Insurance Fraud is The Hidden Tax.\n- Know and understand Concerns About Consumer Attitudes.\n- Know and identify Indicators of Application, Property, Casualty, Catastrophe, Rental and Vehicle Theft Fraud.\n- Understand how Staged Collisions - Fraud on the Road - work.\n- Understand Bodily Injury Insurance Fraud.\n- Know and identify Indicators of Workers' Compensation and Workers' Compensation Premium Fraud.\n- Know and provide Consumer Tips.\nTo many repetitive questions, take out the repetitive questions and reduce the amount of questions.

Condiments: That date on the side of the jar tells you how long the product will stay good if it remains unopened. Once you open it; however, it's a different story. Most unopened condiments like mayo, mustard, ketchup, and salad dressing stay fresh for six months or more. Once opened, you should toss them after three months to prevent them from becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. Now that you know that, you should rethink that jumbo bottle of dressing next time you're at the grocery store!\nFound some yogurt in the back of your fridge and wondering if it's still safe to eat? Don't just rely on smelling it or looking for mold to decide. For single serving containers that are unopened, check the date on the container. For larger, previously opened containers of yogurt and sour cream, you should usually toss them after being opened for two weeks.\nButter should only be stored in the fridge for three months, but don't feel pressured to use it all now--you can store unopened sticks of butter in the freezer for up to a year.\nOf course, if anything ever tastes, smells, or looks suspicious, go ahead and toss it. It's better to be safe than sorry! Proteins:- Eggs actually stay fresh past the best-by date if they are kept in the fridge at 40 degrees F. The date actually indicates when they will change grades, which has more to do with the shape of the yolk than it does with spoilage (a grade A yolk stands up from the white; a grade B yolk is flatter, more flush with the white). In general, eggs will keep 2-5 weeks after you buy them.\nFish should be used or frozen within 2 days of purchase. All of the above should be kept refrigerated or frozen at all times.\nFrozen fruit: As the weather gets warmer, you will probably be craving something cold and sweet. Frozen fruit like berries will keep for about a year in the freezer, so it's perfect to stock up on now so that all summer long, you will have easy access to delicious fruit to throw into a smoothie, use as a topping for yogurt or eat as-is for a snack.\nNuts: By now you know that nuts are a superfood, so including them in your daily diet is a great thing. Buying a large bag will allow you to do that at a good price. However, if you've been shying away for buying nuts in bulk because you're afraid they won't keep, you'll be glad to know that storing nuts in the refrigerator will extend their shelf life from three months in your pantry to six months in your fridge. Put them in the freezer, and they'll last even longer-up to two years!

Many thanks to QuickRelease TV for providing a few of these.\nIn their cars, the world is reduced to mere equation. “What is the fastest route from A to B?” one will ask as they start their engine. This invariably results in a cascade of freeway concrete flying by at incomprehensible speeds. Their environment, the neighborhoods that compose their communities, the beauty of architecture, the immense societal problems in distressed areas, the faces of neighbors… all of this becomes a conceptually abstract blur from the driver’s seat.\nYes, the bicycle is a marvelously efficient machine of transportation, but in the city it is so much more. The bicycle is new vision for the blind man. It is a thrilling tool of communication, an experiential device for the beauty and the ills of the urban context. One cannot turn a blind eye on a bicycle – they must acknowledge their community, all of it.\nHere lies the secret weapon of the urban renaissance.\nPrevious post: Vote for Bikes!

Strength. Pride. Integrity. Respect. Intensity. Tradition.\nThose six words sum up H.H. Dow High School's Charger SPIRIT, and are emblazoned everywhere as the school year has begun with a new leader.\n"This is what we're about," said Principal Pam Kastl, who was named Dow's new principal in June. The former principal, Dan Gilbertson, left after just one year for a position in Florida.\nKastl already has made the principal's office her own. There are pictures of her family scattered throughout, including one taken five years ago with everybody in Charger sweatshirts.\nThe wall is decorated with several green and gold school banners, and a large candy bowl - filled with M&M's, Hershey's Kisses, mints and more - sits square in the middle of a large table. The candy bowl symbolizes Kastl's open door policy for both students and staff.\n"There's an open invitation to come in. I keep the doors open," she said." As she spoke, someone quickly ducked in and plucked a tidbit from the bowl.\n"We have had two great days," she said last week after the first couple of days of school. "It's been a smooth opening."\nPart of that opening was introducing Charger SPIRIT. Jordan Dasher, a Dow High graduate, came up with the graphic about five years ago, and talked about the idea with teacher and coach Jason Watkins. Watkins came up with the SPIRIT acronym, and after Dow High staff met this summer, "this is what we came up with."\nKastl has a long history of Charger spirit. She has been married for 28 years to Pat Kastl, and they have three children - Cory, 23; Mackenzie, 21; and Garrett, 17. The two oldest children are Dow High graduates; Garrett is a senior.\n"I feel pretty blessed to be here," she said. "It's a wonderful opportunity."\nKastl graduated with a bachelor's in special education from Central Michigan University in 1980. She began her educational career as a resource room teacher at Beaverton High School, and also did some Title I support work at the district's elementary school.\nIt was a busy year - she was asked to be the junior pompon coach, and remembering her days as a cheerleader, decided to go for it. Finally, she also was the junior class adviser.\n"I learned a ton," she said of that first year of teaching.\nNext Kastl worked for Gladwin Community Schools, teaching special education at the high school and first grade at the elementary school.\nShe worked in Gladwin for four years and then the opportunity to teach in the Midland district arose. She had done her student teaching at Midland High School, and the open position was for a learning disabilities teacher at that school.\nEven though Kastl's teaching endorsement was for working with children with emotional impairments, she was hired. That was 22 years ago.\n"I was welcomed into the very awesome Midland High special education department," she said.\nKastl later returned to CMU and earned her master's in learning disabilities. Her education has been ongoing - she also has taken graduate classes in educational leadership both at CMU and Saginaw State Valley University.\n"My long-range goal was to be an elementary principal," she said. "So I was really trying to build my portfolio (with) lots of different experiences."\n"I think it's very important that administrators have classroom experiences (and) teaching expertise," she added.\nKastl taught at Midland High for six years. She then worked as a special education resource room teacher at Longview Elementary School.\nAfter two years at Longview, she made a different kind of career choice and went to Northeast Middle School to work as an administrative assistant. Kastl was there one year when Pete Conarty, who was Northeast's assistant principal at the time, retired. She moved into his position.\nAfter two years as Northeast's assistant principal, Kastl was able to realize her long-term goal - she became principal at Longview.\n"I think you know in your heart when you're ready to take that leap," she said of becoming a principal.\nHer last several years at Longview were filled with additional duties, including directing team meetings for special education students at both Dow and Midland. She also took responsibility for the district's post-secondary program for students in special education ages 18 through 26.\nKastl split her days during her last year at Longview - still Longview's principal, she also was principal of the former Franklin Center. The alternative school for eighth through 10th graders was closed in the spring due to budget cuts.\nShe plans to be very visible - hence the open doors and ever-filled candy bowl - as Dow High's principal.\n"I want the (school) to be supportive and safe," she said. She stressed that it takes everybody - students, teachers, staff and parents - to create a positive "learning community."\nKastl has plans to stay at Dow High.\n"I'm devoted and dedicated to Midland Public (Schools)," she said.\n"So I'm going to work very hard and I care very much," she added. "I want this to be my legacy when I end my career."

Green tea is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet. It is loaded with antioxidants and various substances that are beneficial for health. Many studies have shown that green tea can increase fat burning and help you lose weight.\nIn order to burn fat, it must first be broken down in the fat cell and moved into the bloodstream. The active compounds in green tea can aid in this process by boosting the effects of some fat burning hormones.\nGreen tea causes your metabolism to consume fuel at a faster rate. The faster your metabolism, the more fuel it needs. Normally, we store fat as fuel for our body. Your metabolism, consuming fat at a faster rate, causes you to lose fat weight.\nGreen tea also makes you feel full, which makes it a very effective appetite suppressant. When your body is no longer constantly craving foods, you can concentrate on healthier eating habits.\nThe role Ginger plays, is to help you improve digestion and also to add a little flavor to the tea. Remember no sugar or milk in this remedy.

As more and more second homebuyers snap up property in Croatia, savvy investors are turning their attention to traditional stone cottages, with a growing number of real estate agents based in the UK , Germany and Croatia adding these properties to their portfolios.

The family of Aharon Joseph Zindani, a Yemenite Jew who was murdered in his native country in May, is urging Yemen’s remaining Jews to emigrate to countries that are safer for Jewish people.\nMr. Zindani, a native of Yemen who moved to Israel ten years ago, had returned to his native land in 2010 to sell his family’s remaining assets, after financial troubles plagued his father in Israel. Zindani’s brother-in-law explained that Zindani, who had become a community leader in his two years in Yemen, hoped to buy a small synagogue, among other things, in Rehovot, his hometown.\nThe attack on Zindani was anti-Semitic in nature, according to Zindani’s family and the Jewish Agency, and is not the first one to occur in Yemen, a hotbed for rising Islamists and an ambivalent government . In 2008, Moshe Naish al- Nahari, a Jewish teacher of Hebrew and father of nine, was gunned down by a Muslim Yemenite who demanded al-Nahiri convert to Islam. Mr. Zindani was stabbed in his head and neck in the marketplace of Sanaa – Yemen’s capital – at the hands of a Muslim who claimed Zindani had bewitched and ruined him.\nAfter a long and protracted extraction process, the Jewish Agency in conjuction with Israel’s Foreign Ministry convinced Yemen’s government to allow Zindani’s burial in Israel, a luxury not granted to al-Nahiri, who was buried in Yemen in 2008. Zindani’s remains were accompanied to Israel by his family, who plans to stay in the future in Rehovot, where they buried Zindani last May.\nThe attack has motivated Zindani’s family, influential in Yemenite circles, to exhort Yemen’s remaining Jews to emigrate to safer countries like Britain, where the plight of Yemeni Jews has been a topic of conversation among British MPs. Israel and the Jewish Agency have also offered to resettle Yemen’s Jews, who mostly live in government compounds for fear of anti-Semitic attacks. However, Yemen’s few hundred Jews have opted to stay in their communities, which, at thousands of years old and thought to date from the time of King Solomon, are some of the oldest Jewish settlements in existence. Heavily populated by about 60,000 Jews in the first half of the twentieth century, these settlements dramatically shrank after the 1949-1950 airlift of Yemen’s Jews to Israel, under the code name “Operation Magic Carpet”, leaving only a few hundred Jews left in Yemen.\nZindani, whose age has been reported to be between 46 and 50, is succeeded by his wife and eleven children.

…and looking at that list, it’s obvious that I’m reading a lot of books at one time! I’m taking my New Year’s goal of reading what I want to read when I want to read it very seriously, even if it means I’m not finishing books as quickly. I’m allowing myself to be a little more fickle about what I read in the name of maximizing my enjoyment.\nI’m glad you’re enjoying your year of reading what you want when you want! Some times that’s just what you need. I’m in the final book of Terry Brooks Word & Void trilogy and am debating delving deeper into Shannara, but probably won’t just yet! Good reading in Febraury!

Hello everyone and welcome to August! While last month I may have reported on the long-awaited favorable conclusions on several key issues we faced as a united Industry, it should come as no surprise to any of us that as one set of issues finds its conclusion, a new set of proposed legislative changes demands our joint attention. A package of bills emerging in the city council, with one particular bill aiming to establish a 12-month moratorium on the issuance of for-hire vehicle licenses to conduct an impact study, of sorts, is already demanding our attention, and that is just one of five bills. Let’s dive right into it.\nFirst, before venturing into the realm of new legislative proposals, let’s re-visit the settlement reached between the NYC TLC and the for-hire vehicle (FHV) industry, like I discussed in my column last month. After unsuccessful rounds of negotiations with the TLC and a massive lobbying effort by the FHV industry, not to mention two lawsuits (federal and state), the settlement allowing bases to satisfy FHV WAV compliance mandates via a centralized dispatch option was reached. The TLC is holding a public hearing on an amendment which would allow for there to be an unlimited amount of approved Accessible Vehicle Dispatchers (AVDs), so long as they can show, at the time of application, that they are servicing a minimum of 10 FHV bases.\nThe TLC hearing is set to take place 10am on Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 33 Beaver Street, 19th Floor in Lower Manhattan. All parties of interest are sure to be coming out to voice their positions, so keep track of that. Also, don’t forget that the entire TLC Board of Commissioners is still required to vote on and approve the details of the settlement reached; if it is not approved, the settlement terms are voided and the lawsuits would be able to proceed.\nNow, on to the new legislation we face. We are at a very early stage so here are the facts you need to know: First is a bill introduced by Council Member Levin, Int. 144-A, which calls for a 12-month moratorium on the issuance of new for-fire vehicle licenses (not including new WAV licenses), giving the TLC time to conduct a study in conjunction with the Department of Transportation (DOT) to determine and set “vehicle utilization standards.” These new “vehicle utilization standards” would be determined by the TLC “for the efficient use of FHVs based on the time spent and/or distant traveled by FHV drivers while transporting passengers or while they are available to accept dispatches from a base; and the number of passengers transported by such drivers.” Also worth mentioning is that the TLC would have the discretion to issue additional FHV licenses to increase the availability of for-hire services in areas of the city historically underserved by mass transit options, so long as the issuance of such additional licenses would not contribute to traffic congestion. During the 12-month cap and study period, the TLC would be required to report to the Mayor and City Council on the progress every three months.\nThe next key piece of legislation to surface is Int. 838-B, introduced by Council Member and For-Hire Vehicle Committee Chair, Ruben Diaz, S.R. This bill seeks to require “an entity that dispatches or facilitates the dispatching of 10,000 trips a day by one or more licensed black car bases, luxury limousine bases or livery base stations through an app or their similar passenger-facing booking tool…” become a new category of “high-volume for-hire service.” The number of daily trips would be calculated from the number of trips dispatched by all bases operating under the same name. Other legislative initiatives brought forward include measures to set minimum wage standards for drivers, waive the licensing fees for WAVs and reducing the penalties for unauthorized solicitation of business by drivers, more commonly known as street hails.\nI will keep a close watch on the movement of these items through the city council and report back; with some of the bill package expected to be voted on by the city council as soon as August 8th at its upcoming stated (full) meeting.\nAs always, stay tuned to social media for the latest as it happens! Should you wish to keep track of the legislation yourself, visit http://legistar.council.nyc.gov/Legislation.aspx and utilize the search function to look up the following bill numbers for the most accurate updates: Int. 144-A (12-month vehicle license moratorium), Int. 890-A (minimum driver wage), Int. 838-B (regulating “high-volume for-hire service”), Int. 634-A (waiving licensing fees for WAVs) and Int. 958-A (reducing penalties for unauthorized street hails).\nFinally, I am excited to announce that The Black Car Fund, in conjunction with the Independent Drivers Guild Benefits Fund, will be rolling out a brand-new van to promote our new driver vision benefits! This van, set to hit the road within the next one to two months, will make its way to driver hotspots throughout the area conducting on-the-spot vision tests! Drivers who have driven a total of 85 consecutive hours per month with passengers in the car for three consecutive months are eligible! For more information on this benefit, as well as to determine for sure your potential eligibility for this service, please visit www.DriversBenefits.org or call the Drivers Benefit Hotline at 1-833-814-8590.\nAlso, I am thrilled to announce that as I write this, IDG Benefits Fund is currently working on a benefit management app for drivers to organize and keep track of all of their benefits! They’re really piling up!\nAs always, until next time, follow the BCAC and Black Car Fund on social media. Have a great August!\nIra Goldstein is Executive Director of the New York Black Car Fund, Chief Operating Officer of the Black Car Assistance Corporation and Treasurer of the Coalition of Transportation Associations.

Barcelona is one of Europe's most popular destinations for mini-breaks. Its size and high concentration of tourist attractions make it a enthralling place to come for a weekend. The city's energy and creativity always seem to ensure that people leave feeling revived and with a new-found lust for life. When planning a weekend away it is essential to find a balance between doing all of the things that you want to do, whilst returning home feeling that you have actually had a holiday, rather than a nonstop box-ticking grand tour.\nI have put together a list of ideas for things to do on a weekend break to Barcelona - places to stay, eat, see and tips to make your life easier.\nOn a short break it is essential to get your bearings in the city as quickly as possible. An open top tour bus ride can be a good option to do this. You can either use it to do one full three hour tour of the whole city or as a 'hop-on, hop-off' service. On your way round make sure that you keep a mental note of the places that you like the look of, so that you can return to them and spend a bit more time there.\nOne of the best ways to truly see Barcelona is by walking. Hidden down every small side street you are likely to find a gem of some kind. Just take a wander and do not be afraid to get lost in the streets of the Old Town - this is probably when you will make the best discoveries, and you will always find yourself back on the Ramblas at some point.\nI have put together a guide for a day walking through the city centre. Rather than covering the major attractions it gives some ideas for some things to see and do that are slightly off the beaten track.\nThe homemade cava is cheap and the specialities are homemade sun dried tomatoes and the infamous 'picante' (tuna wrapped in a very spicy piquillo pepper).\nThis tiny Catalan bar sell small plates of deep fried anchovies - a must for seafood lovers.\nBased in the Barceloneta district - the smartly dressed waiters will serve you solomillo (steak) that will change your life!\nA favourite of the famous Spanish chef - Ferran Adria. The tiny bar specialises in tinned seafoods of the highest standards.\nIf you're feeling lazy and you'd like somebody else to do the navigating there is always the option of taking a tapas walking tour of the city.\nWhen planning your day in Barcelona it is important to bear in mind that cafés and restaurants in Spain often keep more specific hours than in other countries. There has been many a day when I have been forced to resort to a soggy sandwich as I have left it too late to have lunch and most of the best places are closed. Lunchtime in Barcelona is generally between 13:00 - 15:30. The traditional way to eat lunch is as the largest meal of the day - a big ol' three courser. Look out for signs offering 'Menu del Dia' (the dish of the day).\nOne of my favourite restaurant's for Menu del Dia include El Lobo.\nWhen visiting a city with a beach it seems a shame not to make the most of Barcelona's seaside location. In the winter you can take a breezy walk along the promenade and in the summer you can ensure that you have a tan to take home to your friends. In our guide to Barcelona's beaches you can have a look for the one that is most suited to you.\nIf you are coming to Barcelona for a short visit it is essential to get your accommodation sorted before your arrival. If a conference or major event is taking place in the city you will find that all of the hotels and apartments get booked up quickly.\nIf you are more interested in staying in a hotel then there are a wide variety on offer in the city: spa, value, boutique, luxury and romantic.\nWhen booking your flights it is worth considering your accommodation. Many short let apartment agents will not rent an apartment for less than a certain amount of days.\nSo, all in all, Barcelona is a fabulous place to come for a short break. With a mixture of forward planning and leaving things to take their own course, who knows what adventures might be in store?

Chennai: As companies rush to add data science and machine learning to their business capabilities, demand for the mathematics professionals is witnessing an increase. Across sectors, enterprises deriving insights from huge volumes of data and leveraging AI in their products are looking to hire candidates specialising in maths and statistics, alongside technologists. Industry executives and HR practitioners TOI spoke to said data analytics, machine learning and AI require deeper understanding of math going beyond knowledge of spreadsheets, prompting companies to look towards talent specialised in maths, statistics, and econometrics. Linear algebra, probability, regression analysis and other math and statistics concepts are key to excel in such roles, they said.\nDr Yogesh Kumar Bhatt, VP, Education and Training, Manipal ProLearn, a professional learning platform, says an in-depth understanding of maths and statistics is indispensable for data analytics roles. Based on his interactions with companies, Bhatt says large multinationals across banking and financial services and the manufacturing, are hiring PhDs for roles in data science and AI R&D units in India.\nFor instance, software products major Ramco Systems has been evaluating and hiring skilled candidates in maths and statistics for helping them add AI-powered features in their ERPs. “Companies are looking at various ways and means to leverage historic data to study patterns and predict future events with better capabilityWe’ve hired close to 20 math specialists over the last one year,” Virender Aggarwal , CEO, Ramco Systems, said.\nChennai-based SaaS enterprise OrangeScape is on the look-out for MSc’s and PhDs in mathematics, among other similar qualifications to build their team. “With a deep statistics knowledge, math specialists can help identify patterns in large volumes of data,” OrangeScape founder Suresh Sambandam said. In a recent survey by edtech platform Cuemath, over 90% of CEO’s said that mathematics is key to career progression in a world of automation, with majority jobs of the future requiring a stronger math aptitude than that is typically required in STEM.\n“Though pure-play analytics companies have always looked towards statistics institutes for talent, as demand for data science picks up, demand for math specialists is increasing across sectors,” Anandorup Ghose, partner and head - EMs, Aon, said. At educational institutes, the mathematics programs are seeing increased corporate interest, as it’s still early days for data science-focused programs.\nIIT- Madras has seen almost a 30% increase in enquiries from industry partners looking to hire math talent for their analytics needs.\n“We are currently in the process of revamping the curriculum for our M.Tech in Industrial Mathematics to suit industry needs based on feedback,” Sudharshan R, Research Affairs Secretary, IIT-M, said. Courses on statistics such as regression etc. will be deepened and brought forward in the course, he said.\nThe placements cell of the Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) is also seeing increased corporate engagement in the past one year, with companies looking to hire candidates with strong math skills. CMI has launched a Msc Data Science course this year, which includes a focus on maths and statistics as part of curriculum.

Where does one begin to articulate one's thoughts around a tragedy such as that which occurred at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007. As a mother, step-mother, aunt and cousin to children who attend universities across Canada, I am saddened beyond belief for all of the victims, families, friends, colleagues, and community of Virginia Tech. I send my heartfelt wishes for all of their recovery from such an atrocity and pray for them. I feel grateful that my family and friends were/are safe.\nI am angry at the easy accessibility of handguns around the world and this event only strengthens my convictions that gun-laws need to be reinforced for the safety of all humanity. I also feel tremendously sad for the family and friends of Cho Seung-hui,as I am sure that no amount of time or space will allow them to have understanding and peace for the actions of their child.\nWatching the events as a shocked spectator, I was so moved by the actions of Liviu Librescu - protecting his students to the end. I was proud to be a Jew in that moment. After surviving atrocities of the Shoah that none of us can truly imagine, Mr. Librescu truly lived a life dedicated to the service of others - his family, friends, students and peers should feel that proud as well.\nPosted by Tania Little at 10:38 a.m.

This Monday coming is Victoria Day in Canada. The holiday was celebrated before the formation of Canada and originally marked the day of Queen Victoria’s birthday but now is recognition of the name-day of both Queen past and present, Victoria and Elizabeth II. For most Canadians, however, it is the unofficial beginning of summer. Thus, in salute, I shall blog about the appropriate celebratory beverage of Victoria Day…Victoria’s Vino.\nIt seems that Victoria was fond of a drink called Vin Mariani wine, “…a popular French tonic…” made from Bordeaux wine treated with coca leaves. As a tonic, it was known for its medicinal qualities. Undoubtedly…the ethanol in the wine acted as a solvent to the cocaine in the leaves thereby altering the drink and no doubt, the drinker! Well, Vickie was in good company as this popular 19th C drink was enjoyed by a few Popes and Thomas Edison alike.\nThis next one thrills me to bits. Queen Victoria enjoyed Champagne. James Bond and Vickie would have gotten along as her preferred Champagne was Bollinger (I know, I know…not all Bonds drank Bollinger). Indeed, Bollinger received Royal Warrant in 1884 from Queen Victoria as the House Champagne (Castle Champagne?). I have a fondness for Bollinger as it is the Champagne I first fell in love with oh so many years ago. Stylistically, the wines are Pinot noir-driven, mostly fermented in oak and undergo malolactic fermentation, giving them a rich and round personality abounding with complexity and classic toasty/brioche notes.\nAlthough I’m sure the Queen’s list contained more than 3 favourite drinks – she was obviously fond of a tipple or two – I will finish with Riesling. It is no coincidence that one the top Hochheimer vineyards in the Rheingau region of Germany is named “Konigin Victoriaberg” and she enjoyed Riesling. Nor is it a coincidence that she is given credit for the term “hock” used to describe the Hocheimer wines, which she tasted through in order to select yet another House Wine. For those of you embarking upon a typical Canadian long-weekend activity, garage sale shopping, watch out for the classic Hock wine glass as I’m sure there are plenty lurking in the corners of many a household.\nA fair selection I might say. Bollinger and Rheingau Riesling are not difficult to come by in Calgary, but Vin Mariani??? I leave you with this. In the late 1800’s, Vin Mariani was copied by a clever American businessman in the U.S. and became known as Pemberton’s French Wine Coca. Upon the passing of Prohibition, the alcohol was removed along with its potential hallucinogenic qualities and became Coca Cola. Stick with the Champagne or Riesling!!!\nEverything Wine and Fine Vintage Wines Inc. are excited to announce the launch of a new home delivery wine club.\nWine lovers in B.C. will now be able to have wines selected by James Cluer delivered to their door by Everything Wine. James is one of 30 Masters of Wine in North America, considered the highest credential in wine.\nA weekly series of videos will also be shown on the website www.FineVintageWineClub.com. The videos, shot on location, feature the best producers in Champagne, Bordeaux, Napa valley and elsewhere.\nEverything Wine is the leading private retailer in B.C. with 3 stores, and has a massive selection of wines that you cannot find in government Liquor Stores. Everything Wine will deliver your order to anywhere in the Province, free of charge.\nMembers of the wine club will have a mixed 12 bottle case of wine delivered to their door every three months. There are 3 different membership levels to suit your needs – Gold at $199 per quarter, Platinum at $300 and Diamond at $480 per quarter. We will be expanding the selection in future months to include many more choices for members for quick delivery times.\n“We created a website that would educate and entertain, and allow wine lovers to experience fantastic wines. Everything Wine is a dynamic retailer with a vast selection and I’m delighted to be working with them”, explains James.\nTrent Anderson, GM at Everything Wine, added “we buy large volumes of wines, some of which are exclusive to us, and so we are able to obtain exceptional pricing. James is the most accredited and experienced wine expert in B.C., and now he is able to recommend his favorite wines to you. Everything Wine manages the club, including all the transactions and deliveries from our licensed retail store”.\nAh yes, there is much debate about this one but I’m just going to be out with it: Oregon is the Pinot capital of the New World. And I am certainly not alone on this one. If you have not been, or have yet to stick your nose into a glass (or several) of Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley, you simply must. Not only are the wines some of the top-rated in the world and the climate and terroir a natural and perfect fit for the likes of Burgundy’s Drouhin family, but the beauty of the place and the people are a strong and charming force that is sure to draw you in.\nJoin us for an exclusive opportunity to discover and taste the outstanding wines of the Willamette Valley. This premier region produces some of the best Pinot Noir of the New World, with constant comparisons to the grape’s homeland, Burgundy, France. The wines are revered by the most respected experts in the industry, including Jancis Robinson and Robert Parker Jr., and are consistently awarded top scores in major publications.\nOn this tour we will visit the leading estates and we will be hosted by proprietors and winemakers for an unparalleled intimate experience. We will stay in a luxury inn and spa and dine at the top culinary destinations of the valley.\nWe will be visiting some amazing wineries, including Domaine Drouhin, Serene, Lemelson and Beaux Frères (co-owned by Robert Parker Jr.), just to name a few. We will enjoy some of the region’s best culinary experiences, winemaker’s dinner and lunch, get to taste some special library wines and get down in the dirt with the region’s top biodynamic viticulturist.\nAll of the details for the trip and to book can be drooled over and found here on Wine Shed – we have just a few spots remaining!\nAs my Calgary WSET Advanced class nears the end, I see a faint look of panic in students’ eyes because for most, if not all, soon will come the time when they will be judged on a blind tasting. The fun and games go out the window for one night – exam night.\nMy heart truly goes out to them and everyone that sits through an exam tasting. It is a nerve-wracking process. The preparation for blind tasting is pretty much the same, regardless of the educational body. The wine is assessed by appearance, nose and palate and conclusions of its quality, life expectancy and value are made. There are a few empirical elements that exist such as sweetness, acid, and tannin. Although we all have slightly different thresholds for said elements, we usually end up in the same ballpark. The key to ensuring you land in the same ballpark is concentrating on the taste and feel of them.\nI think the part that is most terrifying is describing the flavours. For example, in a Puligny-Montrachet, I find notes of linden flowers, Meyer lemon, lime zest, star fruit, minerals, toasted almonds and fresh honeycomb. In the same wine you find notes of summer fresh daisies, key lime, peach, chalk, resin and Werther’s Original. How can either of us be wrong? Can’t this particular example of Puligny-Montrachet have so much complexity that it displays a vast array of flavour characteristics? Of course it can. That is the beauty of tasting.\nIt is that beauty, however, that can be muted in an exam tasting. The challenge is the fact that the taster and judge must both speak the same language and, for the most part, the language is narrow. It is broad enough to cover the major flavour elements found in all things vinous, but it can be limiting and confusing to many. It simply can’t cover the realm of most people’s vocabulary and memory bank. It is the memory bank of taste and vocabulary that we rely on when blind tasting. Why is red currant on the list but not pomegranate or cranberry…I’ve never had red currant? To that, I say, “Don’t miss the forest for the trees.” In essence, we ARE talking the same language as the essence of red currant, pomegranate and cranberry is the same – acidic red fruit. The key is to not get too caught up in the details…and the semantics.\nWill these words help any of my students? I hope so. My sage wine-selling husband once said, “…by the time you get through tasting the wine, it comes down to one of two choices really…you have to keep it simple.” True, true, oh so true. There is immense pressure in any exam, be it math or philosophy or wine…so keep it simple.

Two influential business lobby groups are staying out of the fight over the taxation of the private equity industry, leaving buy-out chiefs with few powerful corporate allies to help their case in Washington.\nThe Business Roundtable, an association of more than 100 top chief executives, and the Financial Services Forum, which represents the banking industry, have decided against taking a position on two proposals in Congress that could significantly raise taxes for private equity groups and their executives.\nBuy-out groups could find ways to get round a proposed US tax rise by developing new financing structures or by offsetting some of the burden by cutting returns to pension funds and other investors, a private-equity executive said on Tuesday.\nBruce Rosenblum, chairman of the Private Equity Council and a top executive at Carlyle, said big groups such as his would be able to “weather the storm” if Congress passed a bill that would greatly increase tax on private-equity and hedge-fund managers’ earnings.

This is a five reel, three row online slot offering twenty five paylines, and belongs to the cute and cuddly genre. The world of soft toys sets the scene for this Eyecon game, which features Free Spins and Coin Pusher bonus games, and an RTP of 95.3%. We’re proud to offer the game to you right here at UK Slot Games, where you can also play over 600 slot games, including ‘Starburst’, ‘Rainbow Riches’, ‘Fluffy Favourites’ and ‘Bonanza’.\nThe first Fluffy Favourites game was such an outstanding success that it took the entire online slot world by storm. Nobody really appreciated quite how much demand there was likely to be for a slot game based on childhood themes; most developers have spent years finding new ways to pitch to the adult market, and although nostalgia comes up as a topic occasionally, nobody’s ever been quite as direct about it as Eyecon were when they released that first game back in 2006. Given the phenomenal success of the first game, a sequel was always likely, and here it is.\nIf you missed it first time around, or you’re new to online slots, Fluffy Too (a play on ‘Fluffy Two’) is a classic style online slot; nothing too complicated, and not too many confusing additional features; it just happens to be adorable to look at. It’s set in a world populated by stuffed toys; the kind you used to cuddle up to at night. Many of us, especially Brits, will have childhood memories of trying to win soft toys from inside glass cabinets at seaside amusement marks, and it’s that exact sense of nostalgia that this game appeals to.\nThe background of the game sets the action on a beach; so either the toys have gone on holiday, or we really are back in that seaside town again, trying to win those soft toys and pestering our parents for more money to have another go! A rainbow colourfully decorates the sky, and there’s a tall structure there which may or may not be a representation of the world famous Blackpool Tower overlooking the beach.\nFor the uninitiated, there are no standard card symbols on the reels on this game, just adorable toy animals for as far as the eye can see. Like entering Noah’s Ark, they come in pairs of values, and in ascending order they are the goldfish and the duck, which both have a maximum value of 100 coins per payline; rhino and giraffe (200), lion and tortoise (300), gorilla and panda (500), and then the pink dragon alone (dragons don’t pair up with anyone or anything outside of the Game of Thrones world), which has a maximum value of 1000. The most valuable symbol, confusingly, isn’t the dragon. It’s been superseded by a purple hippo, who pays off in multiples. If the hippo appears on your reels 2, 3, 4, or 5 times on the reels, you’ll accordingly win 10, 100, 500 or 5,000 coins; that top prize is the equivalent of 200 times your original stake.\nFans of the original will already know and love the pink elephant as the wild symbol, and it’s back again for the sequel, replacing all symbols other than the scatter, which is a coin (more on that in a moment). Any winning combination involving the pink elephant doubles in value.\nAs we hinted at earlier on, the point of Fluffy Too is that it’s adorable to look at and easy to play; throwing a wide range of complex bonus options would spoil the simplicity of its appeals. There are two though, and both of them could have a major impact on him much money you can take from the game.\n1. Free Spins: Free spins do what free spins always do; any combination of three, four or five pink elephants anywhere on the reels will award you 15, 20 or 25 free spins. Any winning combination found during a free spin trebles in value. The free spins can also re-trigger if the right number of elephants land on the reels again, and the process can repeat up to a maximum of 400 free spins. That’s a big number, and should mean big money.\n2. Coin Pusher: Coin Pusher is a new feature in this game, and one of the main things that makes Fluffy Too stand out as being different from Fluffy Favourites. The original game offered you a Toy Box bonus where you had to select toys using a claw, as you would when trying to win them at an amusement arcade. The Coin Pusher bonus sticks with the concept of trying to recreate an old amusement park game, but this time it’s penny pushing; the game where you insert a coin at the top of a machine, and hope that it pushes the coins at the bottom off a ledge so you can collect them. In the online slot version that Fluffy Too offers, you merely need to make selections on the screen to choose your prize. The maximum value here is 100 times your original stake, but even if you miss out on that, you’ll still get a multiplier.\nPerhaps no game has demonstrated that so well as ‘Fluffy Favourites’, which was launched in 2006. It’s the jewel of the Eyecon crown, still as popular today as it’s ever been. Over ten years later it’s still recognized as one of the most played, and most loved, online slots of all time. That makes it an obvious choice to be featured here at UK Slot Games. It also explains why you’re currently reading a review of a sequel to that game!\nThe Fluffy Favourites franchise, which has arguably become the jewel in Eyecon’s crown, is of tremendous importance to them. Their excitement about the games comes through every time they make any statement about it, such as this description of Fluffy Too from their website:- “As you may know, Fluffy Favourites Slots is one of the most popular online slot games around. And now you can enjoy the sequel just as much!\nThe sheer number of exclamation marks there just screams excitement, and it’s well justified. If you owned the company behind Fluffy Favourites and you saw how well it was performing for you, you’d be excited too!\nAs it’s not the only game in the Fluffy Favourites franchise, there are of course several related games to Fluffy Too. It’s part of a whole family of Fluffy-inspired games by Eyecon, and we can only imagine that family growing larger in the future. The games include the first game, a sequel beyond this one, and some jackpot variants of all three games. Here’s the detailed breakdown for you.\nThe original game in the series, and an iconic legend in the land of slot games. When this game was released, it was considered to be close to slot game perfection. It’s still full of charm and joy, and with its gentle volatility and 95.3% RTP it still attracts plenty of regular players, even though more modern takes on the formula are now available. One of the key differences between the original and the later games, other than the vastly improved animation and sound, is the bonus features; instead of the Coin Pusher mode that Fluffy Too offers, there’s a Toy Box feature instead, re-creating the process of trying to grab a soft toy from a glass booth using a claw. Anyone who went to a British seaside when they were a child will know exactly what we mean!\nAnother game in the series that was made by Instant Win Gaming as opposed to Eyecon, and another fresh take on the online slot experience. If you’ve ever played ‘Tetris’ - and who hasn’t? - then you’ll intuitively know how to play this game already. Play takes place on a 9x6 grid full of the adorable animals from the Fluffy Favourites game world. All you have to do is find five or more matching animals to win a prize. Once you’ve matched them up, they’ll vanish from the grid, and more animals will take their place (exactly like making lines on Tetris!). You just carry on matching them up until there are no more left to match. The more matches you make, the more points you get. And what do points make? Prizes! It’s worth noting that not all of the animals are worth the same in this game; fifteen purple hippos will net you 10,000 times your initial stake, for example, whereas fifteen yellow ducks only get you fifty times your stake. That’s still a good multiplier! There are a few bonus games thrown in for good measure, including the kind of ‘prize picker’ rounds that make ‘Fluffy Too’ so popular in the first place.\nWhen ‘Fluffy Favourites’ became a huge hit, the entire gaming industry sat up and take note. There may not have been many games themed around the ‘cute’ genre before; perhaps because the developers didn’t think it would appeal to adults; but they were wrong. In any event, there have been several games made since that have a few things in common with the Fluffy Too game world, but are either made by completely different development teams, or have nothing to do with the Fluffy Favourites franchise whatsoever. Here are just a few of them.\nBig Top: Big, bright, bold colours? Check. Adorable animals on the reels? Check. A circus or fairground setting? Check. ‘Big Top’ may have a lot of the same dressing as ‘Fluffy Too’, but it confines itself to staying in the circus tent itself instead of venturing into the fairground outside. That’s why the animals on the reels are joined by circus clowns, and the animals themselves are performing tricks. There’s even a lion in a top hat! Who let him be ringmaster? This game was made by Microgaming, and it’s one of their older titles. That age shows, even though it’s still fun to play. There’s no background music at all, barely any animation even when a winning line is found, and a one dimensional graphical style. It’s a fun game that’s easy to understand and easy to play, but doesn’t offer any bonus games other than a few multipliers.\nNextGen Online have made something that feels a little closer to ‘Fluffy Too’ in ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’. The visuals are just as adorable and soft, and if you ignored the title this could be mistaken in look and style to a ‘Fluffy Favourites’ game. They’ve just moved the animals away from the fairground and taken them out on a picnic for the day. In an interesting theme, the teddy bears have lost all the items they need for their picnic, and if you can find their food and cutlery they’ll pay you quite handsomely for them! There are a few bear-themed bonuses, too; scattered picnic basket symbols can pay out up to 100 times your bet if you find them in the right combination, and there are even some missing bears to find, too! This is a non-traditional online slot in that it doesn’t offer free spins or a ‘prize picker’. It’s the ‘prize picker’ aspect of ‘Fluffy Too’ that really makes it stand out.\nWe don’t usually think of wolves as being cute, but that perception completely changes the moment you load up ‘Wolf Cub’. These adorable baby wolves would never bite you; would they? This is a wintry, and perhaps even almost Christmassy, game which features fluffy wolves out in the snow, needing your help. Unlike ‘Fluffy Too’ there’s only one type of animal on the reels here, but if you like wolves and huskies we doubt you’ll mind. This is a NetEnt game; yet another developer who’ve seen the success of ‘cute and fluffy’ games and decided to join in. There are free spins, bonus games, wilds and scatters; all the mechanics of a traditional slot are here for you to enjoy. Sadly no pink elephants though!\nSomewhere between ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘Fluffy Too’ lives ‘Furballs’. The creatures within the game haven’t been drawn with the same level of charm or lovability as the Fluffy Favourites gang have, but they’re an undeniably cute and endearing bunch; and there are a lot of them! This is a crisp, clean, sharp and simple game that won’t win any awards for stunning design, but the minimalistic layout means it’s easy to play on mobile formats. There’s a free spins bonus feature, which is what you’d expect as a minimum, and also ‘energy ball’, ‘lightning ball’ and ‘virus ball’ wilds which is where the ‘Space Invaders’ comparison comes from. Find one of these balls and they’ll have an effect on the furballs around them, either changing their colour or destroying them completely. That could make it easier for you to find winning lines, or it could make it harder. This is a Core Gaming slot game, which isn’t as innovative or immersive as ‘Fluffy Too’, but has a definite appeal of its own.\nWhat if the fluffy favourites in the ‘Fluffy Too’ game weren’t actually cute stuffed toys? What if they were cute baby dinosaurs instead? That’s the major difference between ‘Fluffy Too’ and this title. If you remember the sitcom ‘Dinosaurs’ from the 1990s you’ll immediately see where this online slot got its inspiration from; right down to the dinosaurs in nappies! The adult dinosaur on the reels is the wild, matching with any of its children to create winning lines. The egg is a scatter, and can bring you free spins. Is it as in-depth or expansive in terms of bonuses as ‘Fluffy Too’? No, but it’s still a fun game to play, and cute to look at!\nEyecon are a company with one eye on the future; they know that mobile gaming is only going to increase as a percentage share of the market as time goes on, and they’re ready to move with that trend. They do an exceptionally good job of adapting their games for the mobile format, and Fluffy Too is yet another example of that.\nNothing has been lost in the move from the desktop or laptop to the smartphone or tablet version. The graphics are of the same quality, the sounds are still there, and the features are unaffected. The only difference between playing on a computer or on your phone is that you’re using your finger to do it.\nThe game is even aware of whether you’ve viewing it in landscape or portrait mode when you load it up, and if you change the perspective, it will adapt itself accordingly. Instead of shrinking the play area or the buttons, it moves them to a different area of the screen, making sure they’re always accessible, and the play area is always in focus and clear. As an added bonus, you get a much better view of the scenery when playing on a hand-held device, because of the way the screen ratio works. That means that we can now quite clearly see that the tower in the background is definitely supposed to be Blackpool Tower, and there’s a much better look at Blackpool’s beach, and the fairground down the road. The game makes a great advert for Blackpool’s tourist board!\nFluffy Too, and the entire Fluffy Favourites franchise, are big news within the gaming industry. Because of that, they often find themselves in both the mainstream press and the gambling press. Not all of that attention is positive; when you’re on a pedestal, people tend to throw stones at you.\nThat was certainly the case in this Daily Mail article, which uses an image of Fluffy Too to illustrate what it claims to be evidence of gaming companies advertising directly to children; they and some regulators are concerned that children could be attracted by the imagery of the game, and this could cause them to become interested in gambling. Whilst it’s true that if any company is marketing at children directly there should be consequences for that, the article doesn’t take into account that many adults also find Fluffy Too to be a charming game to play.\nThere are positives too; Fluffy Too and the franchise it belongs to have been such a runaway success that Eyecon became very desirable to investors. Playtech decided to spend £50m on acquiring them and having them as an in-house brand. The news is seen as part of Playtech’s plans to expand into the online gaming world and further develop their technology capabilities. ‘Fluffy Favourites’ is considered such an important asset from the Eyecon range that it’s the only one of their online slots to be mentioned by name in the article!\nWhy Is UK Slot Games The Best Place To Play Fluffy Too?\nThanks for taking the time to read this review. We hope it served as a good introduction to not only the Fluffy Too slot game, but the entire Fluffy Favourites universe, and that you’ll have potentially found not just one but several new online slots to play. We’d love you to stay right here on ukslotgames.com and play it with us.\nSecondly, we don’t force you to deposit money when you first sign up. Everybody is welcome to make an account, and you can then browse our entire catalog to find a game you really want to play before you hand over any money. Fluffy Too is a fine place to start, but there’s no reason to stop there! In fact, we do the opposite of forcing you to hand over money. When you sign up, you could win up to 500 free spins on our games just for doing so!

As Lord Faulks reminded us yesterday, this week marks the one year anniversary of Theresa May’s big intervention in the EU referendum debate.\nIn it, to the undoubted horror of many on the Remain side, the then-Home Secretary argued that it was much more important for Britain to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, and the jurisdiction of its court, than the European Union.\nThis policy has vanished since May became Prime Minister, despite Faulks and Dominic Raab having been working on a consultation on the issue when she took office. Now today’s papers report that it won’t be in the manifesto.\nAs Faulks concedes, there are plenty of reasons for the Government to file this problem away for the time being, not least the fact that Brexit is surely going to consume most of its constitutional attention over the next few years.\nThe devolved issue is also likely looming larger in May’s mind than it did in his piece. Whilst it isn’t true that either the Scottish Parliament or the Northern Ireland Assembly depend on the Human Rights Act constitutionally, they will nonetheless be one of the biggest political hurdles to repealing it and the Prime Minister may have decided that this is too sensitive a moment for the Union to put any further strain on it.\nEven as a staunch supporter of what Faulks calls the “full fat” option – full repeal of the HRA, withdrawal from the ECHR, and letting British law and institutions uphold our rights as they did before – I think May has likely made the right call. But there are a few caveats.\nFirst, silence would be far preferable to any commitment not to withdraw. Although our relationship with the Court is currently peaceable Faulks is right to warn that it may flare up again – especially if we deploy troops somewhere – and such a promise to the electorate would rob the Government of important leverage.\nSecond, if May is serious about getting this reform through at some point then she ought to at least start paving the way in this Parliament. That means tackling the heavily entrenched anti-Conservative majority in the House of Lords.\nAn elected upper house remains as bad an idea as ever it was, but she should seek a way to reinforce the traditional operation of the Lords, restore the balance of power to the cross-benches, and penalise those peers who behave like partisan senators.\nFinally, it’s worth noting that this retreat on the ECHR fits into a pattern of stories that suggest indecision on the part of the leadership about the manifesto. The 0.7 per cent aid spending floor was going, then it wasn’t. The papers thought the ‘triple lock’ might go, but then they report it might be in after all. And that’s notwithstanding Patrick McLoughlin opening fire on Philip Hammond in the middle of the campaign.\nAdd too many such stories together and the impression is given of indecision and a lack of purpose. Despite the polls, this isn’t an election the party can coast through: Tony Blair recognised that he needed to sprint to the finish in 1997, and if the Tories want their own 1997 they need to do the same.\nThat means having a coherent, positive policy offering to supplement the Corbyn-bashing. Nick Timothy, at least, is not short of ideas for what Mayism could look like. Avoiding very difficult promises on the ECHR may be wise, but it’s no excuse for a timid manifesto. Not at this election.

Many people love Denver because even in the winter, there is sunshine and warm(ish) temperatures that melts the snow that falls often. However, when the snow turns into water and melts from your roof, it can cause problems. If your roof isn’t in top shape, you may experience unpleasant leaks or other issues from the excess snow and water. Learn some ways to prepare your roof for winter and see if you need to contact Denver roofing professionals to ensure it is a smooth season.\nPrior to the winter, be sure to safely inspect the quality of your roof and look for damage. You can take a ladder and safely glance in each area. As you look, keep an eye out for curling, misshapen or broken shingles. In House Logic’s article, Inspecting Your Roof to Get Ahead of Problems, they also advise to look for flashing with rust spots or cracked caulking, excess wear around vent pipes or large areas of moss and lichen. Minor problems such as popped nails you can fix yourself. For the larger issues, it is best and safe to contact your local roofing expert to handle the issue.\nBefore winter fully sets in, make sure your gutters are clear. When gutters become clogged, it can create a plethora of problems that damage your roof and home. Gutters need to be able to direct water off your roof and away from your home and its foundation. Over time, small twigs, leaves and other debris can weigh your gutters down, especially during fall. The heavier they get, the more they drag down which causes unnecessary weight. In addition, gutters flowing with leaves and other debris can be a breeding ground for unwanted bugs such as ants or rodents. Plus, if they find a way in your home in the winter, that will not be a fun expense to pay to exterminate them!\nPrior to winter, be sure to trim trees. This will help snow from bearing weight on trees causing them to break. It can also help from extra leaves and twigs from falling into gutters. Also, even though your roof is on the outside of your home, you can do some interior maintenance to help keep your roof in good shape. First, make sure there is excellent insulation around the exterior edges (i.e. attic or basement). Too much heat that moves through the roof can melt snow too quickly and may cause frozen water to accumulate causing ice dams.\nFor go-to advice and help with your roofing needs, you can trust the experts at The Roof Doctor. We specialize in residential and commercial roofing and storm drain repairs throughout the Denver metro area and Colorado. With over 45 years of experience, our customers have been with us for years and are always willing to refer us as their trusted roofing experts. Read about our premier residential roofing services to see how we can help prepare your roof for winter. Call 720-606-ROOF to get started!

There are assorted considerations to be made relating to the highly rewarding and enjoyable vocation of physical therapy. These considerations should be made prior to even starting your career journey. The path to becoming a physical therapist may be daunting with several challenges. Having said that, this can be what ensures the journey interesting and challenging! We wrote this guide to offer you some understanding into the measures required to become a physical therapist.\nThe essential function of a physical therapist is to aid individuals that have lost the use of their body because of trauma or disability, get that function back. There are numerous tasks and difficulties that a physical therapist might confront. It is essential to take these into consideration.\nSome therapists in this field manage individuals dealing with severe medical conditions demanding challenging treatment, including sufferers of head and spinal cord injuries or those with Parkinson’s disease. You will need to cultivate the ability to serve these patients over time. This requires persistence and perseverance.\nYou should be looking into a postgraduate degree in the medical field first and foremost. Some physical therapists have gotten by however with only a bachelor’s degree. Due to the quality and intricacy of the work, a strong academic background will be vital to your success. This is more vital if you are going into the field of neurology.\nMake sure to get admission info from Dunedin FL schools early in the process!\nOne of the most crucial steps to become a physical therapist is to obtain experience in the field. It is necessary to finish a postgraduate residency after graduating; having said that, it is advised that one seek out volunteer work in rehabilitation centers throughout undergraduate study. This will help in achieving practical experience in physical therapy, specifically when finding clinics focusing on neurological rehabilitation. Hours achieved through this type of volunteer work will be attributed to your post graduate residency.\nOnce entering physical therapy graduate school it is strongly recommended that one choose a coach in the neurological department. Mentors may be helpful as they will provide knowledge concerning the profession and offer advice on a variety of factors of the physical therapy position.\nOne of the final actions to become a physical therapist is to achieve state certification. In every state you will be obligated to complete licensing exams for certified physical therapy associations prior to having the ability to practice. Once you have achieved your initial state certification, you’re going to have to be certified in an additional state before you can practice. Don’t be dissuaded by the challenge. The satisfaction of a rewarding profession is well worth it.

So you've decided to rent out your home. But where to begin? Everyone knows having tenants can be risky, so how do you go about ensuring you will get reliable tenants?\nThe best chance of finding responsible tenants is by word of mouth. Once you start looking around, let your friends know. You may end up with a friend of a friend who is someone you can trust. As this isn't always the case, and you might have to deal with strangers, conduct thorough interviews. Have the potential renter bring references from any other apartment they were in, and ask them to sign for a credit check. It is important to know some history about your potential tenant ahead of time to avoid some serious problems later on during the tenancy agreement. Don't rent out your home to just anyone! Check them out thoroughly.\nDuring the interview process, be sure to include specific questions. If you allow pets, make sure you know prior to the tenant moving in what pet they have, how many, etc. If you have a "no pet" rule, be very up front about this as well. Same goes for smoking. You'll have happier tenants if they know what your expectations are on them, and you'll be assured that they will comply.

Stamford Bridge side look to Zenit forward to resolve fire-power issue.\nChelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly closing in on a deal to welcome back Jose Mourinho as a permanent successor to interim boss Rafa Benitez according to the Daily Star.\nIndeed plans are well and truly in the pipeline for a busy summer of transfer dealings with moves that will see elder statesman John Terry and Frank Lampard leave Stamford Bridge as the Russian billionaire looks to freshen up the Blues squad.\nBrazilian defender David Luiz is lined up to replace John Terry as Chelsea captain with the England centre-back being strongly linked with interest from Istanbul giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.\n34 year old midfielder Frank Lampard will not be offered a new contract and with his current deal set to come to an end this summer the England man can leave on a free transfer.\nIncoming boss Mourinho will set about strengthening the areas in most need of beefing up and to that end the Real Madrid manager is keen to bring in Zenit St Peterburg striker Hulk.\nThe former FC Porto man has struggled for form since his £32m move to the Russian Premier League side last September, managing a pedestrian total of eight goals in 25 appearances.\nPrior to his move to Russia the 26 year old powerful forward has impressed many with his displays at Porto, where he managed 78 goals in four seasons at the Estadio Dragao, during which time he collected three Primeira Liga titles and a Europa League winners medal.\nA move for Hulk would not come cheap and one would imagine such a swoop would leave Chelsea likely to offload Spanish flop Fernando Torres, who has now gone 15 Premier League games without a goal in his latest barren run.\nHulk would probably jump at the chance of a move to the Premier League side, where he would team up with national team colleagues David Luiz, Oscar and Ramires.

Whether Attorney-General George Brandis' telco metadata retention scheme saves lives remains to be seen. But what's clear is that it will impel millions of Australians to take their privacy into their own hands, in a way that hasn't been seen before. An email hit our inbox last week that highlighted the extent of the grassroots reaction to the new law.\nThe Law Institute of Victoria isn't what you'd call a technologically progressive body. So when its president circulates the legal profession promoting virtual private networking as a response to concerns that government authorities will use metadata to spy on law firms, it's clear the law has struck a nerve.\nIn a video post that's available on Youtube, president Katie Miller explains that "under the data retention scheme, law enforcement agencies can access [data about] the communications of lawyers and their clients without a warrant". Criminal lawyers, the president says, are concerned that "if law enforcement agencies know which witnesses you're talking to, then they can piece together your defence strategy."\nTo mitigate this kind of odious risk, the Institute suggests that the use of virtual private networks and offshore-based email systems like Gmail should be considered. The novelty of this kind of subversive stuff emanating from the normally stuffy lawyers' association can't be overstated. Something new is happening here.\nNot long ago, talk of virtual private networking would have sent Australians, including their legal advisers, to sleep. But necessity is the mother of invention, and when most of a million households found it necessary to access US Netflix programming before the service was available to antipodean customers, they figured out that accessing the service via Buffered, ExpressVPN, blackVPN or TorGuard solved their problem. For about US$10 a month, their computer acquired virtual US residency and could access content only available to Yankee subscribers.\nThe same technology can bypass the data retention law, preventing your internet service provider from knowing much more than that data is coming and going from the office of Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel, Attorneys. What the traffic is, and even where it's really going, can be invisible.\nThe Law Institute's reference to Gmail reflects the fact that the data retention law doesn't cover services that are facilitated offshore and accessed over a vanilla internet connection by Australian users. Gmail servers are located beyond the reach of the Australian Parliament. Your ISP can detect when you're communicating with Gmail, but it has no idea who you might be messaging.\nFive years ago, the notion of a law firm routinely using Gmail would have been frowned on. "The law firm doesn't control the server. That's no good." "Law firms shouldn't trust overseas email systems. No guarantee of security." Today, the very facts that these services are not Australia-based and aren't readily amenable to Australian law are proclaimed as their virtues.\nBy the time the data retention law reaches full speed in April 2017, we face the real possibility that only the dumbest of criminals and the dullest of lawyers will be using services that are covered by the law. Voice calls through Facetime, Skype and a bevy of clones will bypass the retention regime. Encrypted messaging apps like Wickr and WhatsApp, both favourites of that wily former lawyer Malcolm Turnbull, are provided through overseas infrastructure that is immune to Canberra's data law.\nEven without data retention to drive the move to unregulated communications services, it was always inevitable. Half the point of a superfast national data network is to allow services that have traditionally been delivered using Australia-based infrastructure to be challenged and even replaced by virtualised alternatives. A PABX was once a box full of circuit boards and sockets installed at your premises in Sydney. To our kids, it will mean a software program running on virtual servers provided by Amazon or Google, maybe in a data centre in Sydney or maybe in Singapore. It's all the same in a high speed, high availability broadband world.\nAnd here's the rub if crime fighters are serious about ensuring visibility on potentially rogue communications. It follows, as night does day, that the use of services that bypass data retention must be regulated or even banned. If that sounds unlikely, remember that for years the United States banned the export to Australia and elsewhere of strong encryption tools, hoping to prevent non-Americans from communicating secretly. If the authorities come after the secure messaging services, it won't be the first time.

Google’s not backing down in the fight for the smart home. On Thursday, the tech company said it’s releasing the first of several home assistant devices with screens slated for the summer.\nThe Smart Display, built by Lenovo and running Google’s Android Things software for Internet-connected devices, hits stores this weekend. Like Google’s Home, Home Mini and Home Max, the Smart Display lets you control it with your voice, and focuses on playing music. But it also has either an 8-inch or 10-inch screen, on which you can watch YouTube videos, have a video chat or get better answers to some questions.\nIt may seem puzzling for smart speaker makers to add yet another screen to the home, when the point of voice control is that you don’t have to touch a thing.\nBut adding a screen gives Google a better way to answer questions about things that require some visual assistance. Recipes, for example, benefit from short videos or written instructions rather than a robotic voice reeling off ingredients. A screen augments other information, too, such as restaurant suggestions that can show pictures of favourite dishes, or a peek at the five-day forecast when you ask for today’s weather.\n“Our research shows that consumers want a richer experience,” Adam Wright, researcher at marketing intelligence company IDC said. Down the line, the implications for connecting these devices to Google’s growing entertainment plays and its interest in home security will make screens even more valuable, he said.\nAsking questions is the second-most common use for a smart speaker, after listening to music, according to the research firm Activate. Google’s background in search gives it a strong foundation on which to own this part of the smart speaker skill set.\nAmazon has released a few devices that use the screen in conjunction with voice as part of its aggressive smart home play, including the stand-alone Echo Show – a clear competitor for the new Smart Display. Amazon has also taken some of the layout for visual answers from Show and applied it to the television and also its tablets.\nGoogle has roughly 30 percent of the smart speaker market to Amazon’s 66 percent, while other competitors such as Apple make up the remainder, according to eMarketer.

For three turbulent centuries, the glimpse of a square sail and dragon-headed prow on the horizon struck terror into the hearts of medieval Europeans. Indeed, the Viking Age, from A.D. 800-1100, was the age of the sleek, speedy longship. Without this crucial advance in ship technology, the Vikings would never have become a dominant force in medieval warfare, politics, and trade.\nWith their invention of the longship, the Vikings spurred a literal sea change in medieval European affairs.\nThe drekar, or dragon-headed longships, were stealthy troop-carriers. They could cross the open oceans under sail and then switch to oars for lightning-fast hit-and-run attacks on undefended towns and monasteries. Far surpassing contemporary English or Frankish vessels in lightness and efficiency, longships carried Viking raiders from northern England to north Africa.\nViking expertise in naval craftsmanship soon led to the evolution of other types of ship. Among these were the knarr, or ocean-going cargo vessel, which facilitated far-flung trade networks and the colonization of Iceland, Greenland, and America. The knarr drew on similar design principles as the longship but was higher and wider in relation to its length and had only limited numbers of oars to assist with maneuvers in narrow channels. Cargo decks were installed fore and aft.\nThe secret of the Viking ship lay in its unique construction. Using a broad ax rather than a saw, expert woodworkers would first split oak tree trunks into long, thin planks. They then fastened the boards with iron nails to a single sturdy keel and then to each other, one plank overlapping the next. The Vikings gave shape to the hull using this "clinker" technique rather than the more conventional method of first building an inner skeleton for the hull.\nNext, the boatbuilders affixed evenly spaced floor timbers to the keel and not to the hull; this insured resilience and flexibility. They then added crossbeams to provide a deck and rowing benches, and secured a massive beam along the keel to support the mast.\nDiscovered in Norway in 1906, the Oseberg ship, the best preserved Viking ship ever found, reveals its Norse shipbuilders' graceful construction style.\nThe longships' light, economic construction was a major factor behind their success. Modern replicas have achieved speeds of up to 14 knots. In marked contrast to modern sailboats, the ships' lack of a big, vertical keel meant that they were highly maneuverable and could easily penetrate shallow surf and river estuaries. Seafarers steered using a single side rudder on the right, the 'starboard' or "steering board" side. (The term 'starboard' is thought to have originated in the Viking era.) They could also reef the square sails in strong winds and adjust them to permit rapid tacking.\nFamous discoveries of Viking ships at Gokstad and Oseberg, Norway, in 1880 and 1906, respectively, established the classic image of the dragon-headed warship. Longships from both sites were preserved almost intact, with lavish carved decoration, in the waterlogged clay of royal burial mounds. Built around A.D. 890, three quarters of a century after the Oseberg ship, the Gokstad vessel shows great improvements in design, particularly in the sturdiness of the mast supports. Not surprisingly, this era, during which the Norse perfected longship design, coincides with the eruption of seaborne Viking raids on the monasteries and towns of Europe.\nAstoundingly, a veritable flotilla of sunken Viking vessels turned up on the grounds of the very museum being built to house other Viking boats.\nThe modern phase of Viking ship investigation began with the recovery of five vessels at Skuldelev in Roskilde fjord, Denmark, between 1957 and 1962. The excavation involved building a coffer dam around the ships, which Norsemen deliberately sunk in a desperate bid to barricade the fjord against invaders.\nThe major revelation at Skuldelev was the variety of the vessels, which ranged from a stocky cargo ship with a capacity of 24 tons to two sleek longships. The larger of the longships, measuring 95 feet in length, had made at least one successful crossing of the North Sea, for tree-ring analysis of its oak timbers revealed that they had been cut down around A.D. 1060-70 near Dublin, suggesting the presence of a major shipyard at this key Viking stronghold in Ireland.\nEven more remarkable discoveries were to follow in 1996, when contractors began expanding Roskilde's waterfront museum, originally built to house the finds from Skuldelev. As astonishing as it sounds, no fewer than nine wrecked medieval ships eventually turned up in different spots around the building site, including one under the museum's car park.\nThe most striking discovery was the biggest longship yet found, 119 feet long, with room for at least 72 oars and a crew of 100. With its draft of only about three feet and a huge, 2,175-square-foot sail, the ship must have been swift and formidable. The excavators speculate that this ship, like the others in Roskilde harbor, may have gone down in a severe storm, then become hidden in silt. Tree-ring analysis of the high-quality oak used for its timbers suggests a construction date of around A.D. 1025.\nCountless sailing experiments with replica ships continue to confirm the excellence of Viking ship design. Much less is known about Viking navigation methods on the high seas, although one of the Icelandic sagas—narratives of Norse history and legends written in Iceland in the 12th and 13th centuries—includes sailing directions from Norway to Greenland that rely on distant landmarks and the presence of birds and whales to signal the position of land. The Vikings had no compass but undoubtedly steered by the sun and stars.\nDid they have other aids? The sagas contain intriguing references to a solarsteinn or 'sunstone' used for navigation. Scholars believe it possible this stone was feldspar, a mineral found in Iceland that polarizes light. Theoretically, a polarizing stone might have helped indicate the direction of the sun when clouds obscured the view. Its practicality is doubtful, however, since it would require some blue sky to work and would thus have proved useless in total overcast.\nDid the Vikings, as the sagas suggest, really use a sun compass for navigation? If so, what form did it take?\nThe evidence for a so-called "suncompass" is equally shaky. Some have viewed a fragment of a small wooden disk found in a Greenland monastery as a kind of bearing dial for finding north and south. The disk has a hole in its center, and the theory suggests that it originally fitted over a central pin or gnomon to cast a shadow. Markings around the edge of the disk could then have helped the navigator determine north-south. While similar modern devices do work successfully (as seen in the NOVA program "The Vikings"), many have questioned if the Greenland disc was actually used in this way. It is less than three inches across and the markings around the perimeter are so crudely carved as to make the interpretation doubtful.\nWhen at length they were all gathered, they went on board the towered ships...On one side lions molded in gold were to be seen on the ships, on the other birds on the tops of the masts indicated by their movements the winds as they blew, or dragons of various kinds poured fire from their nostrils...But why should I now dwell upon the sides of the ships, which were not only painted with ornate colors but were covered with gold and silver figures?...The blue water, smitten by many oars, might be seen foaming far and wide, and the sunlight, cast back in the gleam of metal, spread a double radiance in the air.\nThis feature originally appeared on the site for the NOVA program The Vikings.

Repl.it - Can you make the notifications page work?\nThere is a page Notifications, that does nothing. I think that it could have good potential if it was actually used. I think that you should get notifications when someone up votes your post, comments on your post, or pings you. Also, you could make it so that it told you when you moved a position on the leaderboard. It could also tell you whenever a new competition started, or when one of your posts got pinned.

Alfredo Gioventù starts to work with stone pottery in the Seventies, used at first as support for majolica elements and then to mount on it fragments of objects, both ancient and modern, as testimonies of some-thing which does not exist anymore, and therefore capable of evoking melancholy atmospheres.The keepsake object, the Goccia nel mare , of 1982, signs a new stage in his artistic reflection,now tending to the further elaboration of the relationship between memory and natural data.\nThe experimentation of the use of stone pottery leads Alfredo Gioventù, as from the Nineties and to this day, to employ this material to perfectly imitate the grey stones with white streaks of the Ligurian shores.By associating grey ceramic with woods and terracotta smoothed by the sea,the sculptor has created a line of objects with great emotional drive capable, in their formal essentiality and their direct reference to the experiences of the local reality, to fully represent the relationship with nature as the place of memory. And indeed this strong link with the Ligurian tradition is expressed by one of the most important researches on the expressive possibilities carried out at the Ceramic Factory Alfredo Gioventù of Sestri Levante: the research on the technique of the risseu, the flooring realised with sea stones artistically placed side by side to create a motif. It is important for the purposes of restorations to hand down the secrets of the creation of these particular kind of mosaic, typical of Liguria, and in fact those who are trained in the Factory are expert in this art, but for Alfredo Gioventù this is also a technique to be reinvented in new works, such as the risseu he has realised in front of an inn of Sestri Levante.\nOpificio Ceramico Alfredo Gioventù s.n.c.

On December 2, 2011 the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) published its new regulations prohibiting the use of hand-held mobile (cell) phones by drivers of interstate commercial motor vehicles, which include busses and trucks on interstate routes (“CMV drivers”). The new regulations take affect 30 days after publication, i.e. on January 1, 2012.\nMore specifically, the final rule prohibits CMV drivers from holding, dialing or reaching for a hand-held cell phone. CMV drivers are allowed, however, to use a hands-free device so long as that device does not require the driver to take his/her eyes off the road. Further, because some hands-free devices require the user to touch the phone, the rule allows CMV drivers to initiate, answer or end a call by touching a single button on either the mobile device or the headset. It is important to note that although this ban extends to push-to-talk functions on hand-held cell phones; it does not ban the use of CB radios because, oddly enough, the DOT does not consider CB radios to be cellular technology.\nFurther, the rule bans a CMV driver from reaching for any cellular device in an “unacceptable and unsafe manner” and requires the driver to be in “close proximity” to any compliant device that he/she intends to use.\nIndividual states will suspend a driver’s commercial driver’s license after two or more serious traffic violations, which include violations regarding hand-held cell phones.\nEmployer Liability. The rule’s language makes an employer liable for a driver’s actions while on the job or carrying out company business regardless of whether the employer allowed the driver to use a hand-held cell phone.\nApproximately four million commercial drivers will be affected by this final rule. Therefore, employers of DOT covered drivers should review their policies to ensure they are consistent with the new regulations. For questions please contact Jim Sherman or any of our experienced attorneys in our five offices in MN; WI; IL; or IA.\nWritten By: James B. Sherman, Esq.

As my colleagues awaited the Auburn presser, I headed back to my post to cover this game, passing a somber Bruce Pearl, Jared Harper, and Bryce Brown on the way.\nThe ending of the last game left a weird taste in my mouth, but when the lights went down and the opening ceremonies began, my feeling of excitement returned. This game should be epic.\nTech and Sparty are probably the two most representative fanbases here in Minny. The Raider faithful traveled extremely well and it was impressive how loud they made US Bank Stadium – like near home game atmosphere. Of course, with these two squads it’s much easier to pick out the respective fans (green and red versus orange/blue, orange/blue), but the advantage was clear in the stands from the get go.\nOne of the key things I was looking for in this one was which team could crack the other’s lock-down defensive shell. In the Final Four preview, I raved about how good Michigan State was at taking what the defense gives them and adapting their style of play. Sparty decidedly did not accomplish this feat tonight. Tom Izzo admitted during post game that his primary goal was to try and punch it inside, something he’s done all season, but Texas Tech was unrelenting in the post. To make matters worse, Nick Ward picked up his second foul mid-way through the first half, leaving Sparty without its main post threat. Cassius Winston and Matt McQuaid tried to keep the ship afloat, but ultimately couldn’t carry the load.\nThe first half was an absolute rock fight. Tech and Sparty combined to shoot 15/49 (30.5%) and managed a measly 44 points in 20 minutes. Tariq Owens started Tech off on the right foot by cashing a three on the first possession of the game, just his 8th triple of the season. Sparty’s ball movement looked crisp enough early on, the rock becoming a pinball catapulting off the MSU flippers, but Tech’s help defense countered every swing and motion of the attack. On the other end, Tech appeared to be settling for isolation possessions, as guys like Jarrett Culver were baited into taking tough shots. Culver struggled all game long to find his stroke, starting 1/9 from the field and scoring just one point in the first half. Chris Beard blamed himself for Culver’s ineffectiveness, saying he should have coached his offense better. Beard regretted that Culver wasn’t getting the ball back for a second touch after his initial give-up, and this trend forced the sophomore stud into trying to attack off the first touch, something Beard thought much too difficult against the Sparty defense.\nMSU won the first eight minutes behind the play of Matt McQuaid, a senior wing who’s known for his all-out style of play. McQuaid had nine of Sparty’s 14 points heading into the under-12:00 timeout and Michigan State enjoyed a three-point lead. Izzo clearly instilled a specific gameplan on his players to counter the talented Culver. Every time he touched the ball, the Spartans collapsed on him and forced him out of a rhythm. Despite a clutch Matt Mooney three to cut a five-point deficit to three, Tech appeared to be in trouble with Norense Odiase picking up his second foul halfway through the first half. But then things changed. Ward went out with his second foul and the Tech role players began their ascent to stardom. Brandone Francis nailed a three to put the Raiders up one heading into the under-8:00 and finished the game with nine crucial points off the pine to go along with Kyler Edwards’ six.\nThe rest of the first half was marked by offensive futility. Sparty finally broke through on the offensive glass, but it resulted in just three points in the final eight minutes. Two different Spartans missed the front-end of a one-and-one and MSU stumbled into the 2:30 stoppage of play after missing their last 15 attempts. TTU, too, was busy building houses of their own, scoring just four points in the final 8:00. Once the dust from the brick laying settled, Texas Tech went into the locker room up two, fueled by the play of Owens, a human eraser inside the paint that made getting buckets near the rim an impossibility. Izzo said his team was fortunate to be down just two at half after his offense stagnated and his inside execution failed.\nMichigan State threw the first punch of the second half, corralling an offensive carom and sticking the ball back through the hoop. Maybe it was time for the Spartans to start dominating the glass, an area of concern for the Raiders heading into the game. Sophomore PG Davide Morretti, nearly invisible in the first half, answered Sparty’s stick-back with a three off an unselfish look from Culver. Beard’s Lottery Pick wing still struggled to find his shot, even missing a couple open looks in the heart of the MSU defense. Morretti followed up his three with a tough drive to the hoop before McQuaid knocked down a triple of his own. Tech continued hitting tough shots and playing absolutely stellar defense, opening up a 32-28 lead heading into the under-16:00 timeout.\nOnce play started again, Nick Ward finally announced his presence at the game. After being shut-out in the first, Ward drew a foul and then converted a tough layup against Odiase in the post. Sparty started gaining a little momentum and then apparent disaster struck for Texas Tech. With 14:43 to play in the game, Tariq Owens went down after turning his ankle 90 degrees. It was a tough play to watch and something you never want to see happen to such a key player on this stage. At that moment, I felt fairly confident Sparty was going to win this game. Boy was I wrong.\nSparty was down but they didn’t panic, maintaining a steady diet of post-feeds. Izzo and his Spartans had been in this situation countless times before and won, so why should this moment be any different? MATT MOONEY, THAT’S WHY! The former Air Force Falcon and South Dakota Coyote played like a man possessed, pouring in yet another trey bomb and taking his point tally to 20. Cassius Winston coolly answered Mooney’s triple, but Culver decided it was about time he added a bucket of his own. Tech punched hard but Sparty rolled with the blows and kept the game competitive, even gaining on the Raiders since the last media timeout. In the midst of the boxing match, Owens made his triumphant (and unfathomable) return to the court, running out from the locker room to a cheering crowd of Raider faithful. Whatever they gave to Owens in that locker room to make him able to jog out and reenter the game, I’ll take two.\nWhen the final eight minutes started there was a feeling in the air that Sparty catalyst Winston wasn’t done yet. The Big Ten Player of the Year started putting his team on his back, as he’d done countless times this season, and his Spartans slowly started to creep closer to the TTU total. Culver remained cold and Tech started to force tough threes, ultimately going three minutes without a score. As my colleague Jim so eloquently put it with 4:32 remaining, “Tech’s buttholes are tightening.” Despite yet another Sparty one-and-one front-end miss, the Tech lead was just five with less than 4:00 to play.\n… except it wasn’t, guys; we know the end to this story. Culver stepped up like the star player he is and buried a clutch two; Winston committed a bonehead offensive foul trying to free his teammate for a shot at the top of the key; and Odiase just TOOK the rock from Xavier Tillman out on the perimeter, extinguishing the Spartan run. Culver confidently stabbed the dagger in the Spartan heart with a three-pointer and the TTU student section erupted, throwing beer in the air and ruining their freshly purchased Final Four gear. The game was over and Texas Tech had won. Tech fans cheered, Sparty fans cried, and the NCAA fainted at the thought of a Virginia / Texas Tech National Championship.\nThis game can be summed up in a few short sentences: Sparty was cold. Texas Tech was lock-down defensively. Matt Mooney went Super Saiyan. MSU’s frontcourt was a non-factor.\nBeard was proud that his team went toe-to-toe with one of the best programs in the country.\nIt was apparent the amount of respect Izzo held for Beard, a coach he knew looked up to him. He complimented the way Beard built this Tech program.\nThe toughest part of the presser was seeing the demeanor of Matt McQuaid and Cassisus Winston, both great players forced to answer questions on stage after losing the biggest games of their lives. Winston was poised and answered tough questions with honesty and humility. McQuaid’s responses were absolutely heart wrenching – I literally had to look away because I was about to cry. The senior said there was no excuse for the way he played down the stretch - he was tired but there was no excuse for being tired in the Final Four. McQuaid said Izzo hugged him at the end of the game and said he was sorry. He described how much he was going to miss playing for Michigan State, how much he was going to miss going to talk to Coach Izzo after practice or after class, how much he loved his coach and this program. Izzo holds McQuaid in the highest regard saying, “Some kids like it, some kids love it, some kids live it.” He said McQuaid is one of the all-time great guys and hardest workers he’s ever coached.

While the deaf and hard of hearing communities and the special education world in general have debated the meaning and reach of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for more than 30 years, it is beyond contention that when provided appropriate language learning and academic opportunities deaf and hard of hearing children can and do attain high levels of achievement. The population of deaf and hard of hearing children is diverse, and their needs for access to language and communication are diverse as well. These include access to American Sign Language and English and communication through sign language, spoken language, sign and voice, visual technology, auditory technology, and other supports and services. When access is not provided, children fall behind in linguistic and cognitive growth and ultimately educational achievement. Support for each child's language and communication development is the key to the child's success.

Restaurant critic Amy Pataki and her family decided to rent chickens this summer. This is the sixth in an occasional series on backyard livestock.\nI live with six females: three human, three feathered.\nEach has her own qualities, habits and looks.\nParents know this to be true of children — as do chicken experts.\n“Each chicken has a unique personality,” says Gail Damerow in animal husbandry bible Storey’s Guide to Raising Chickens.\nSo, I felt up to the challenge when my editors asked me to profile our chickens’ personalities.\nWe’ll start with Julep, the black-and-white beauty my daughters fought over before they ever met her.\nJulep is our gentlest chicken. She’s easy to pick up, even by visitors.\nJulep is also the least comfortable being on her own. When the rest of the flock wanders away from her in the backyard, she run-flies after them in a flapping panic.\n“She needs to be with the others. She gets distressed if she’s away from them,” notes Rebecca.\nYou can’t confuse the chickens for each other.\nBlair, for example, is a Red Star. This hybrid of a red male and white female results in coppery plumage laced with ivory. She has inquisitive eyes and a melodious voice.\n“I used to think Blair was a very docile, calm chicken,” says Ella, her nominal owner.\nBlair is the explorer, undaunted by stairs or patio furniture. She strikes out in her own to peck and bathe in the dust.\nZazu is the last bird in the flock. She is a Black Star, a mix of a red male and a barred Plymouth Rock female. Her orange-and-black plumage looks like glowing embers.\nZazu was skittish when she arrived — and as fast as a running back. After one 15-minute chase to get her back in the coop, Janos and I had to admit our four combined university degrees didn’t prepare us for farm life.\nNow that she’s settled in, Zazu is proving quite agreeable. She slays with her long eyelashes, holding a pose for Star photographer Richard Lautens like a model. She’s also the most consistent layer, producing a daily egg since her arrival.\nEach daughter claims her chicken is at the top of the pecking order. They’ve displaced their sibling rivalry onto the hen house.\nThey bicker about which chicken has the reddest comb or the nicest tone of voice. I’ve heard them claim their chicken lays the most eggs or smells better than the others (not a fact).\nWe didn’t think having chickens would smooth out the sisters’ relationships but it has.\n“Before there’d be rivalry with test marks. Now it’s about whose chicken did what. It’s better than competing over which human is better,” says Inara, Zazu’s champion.

60 kids are a step away from their dream. Help them build it !\nRatna Nidhi Charitable trust is seeking a grant to expand our Educational Scholarship Program (ESP) for Children affected by terror. This is with the objective of providing financial support to these children to continue their formal education. We intend to continue this project with the aim of helping these children with the further education, and furthermore help them to be in a position to find a suitable employability in future.\nOur ESP is based on the success of our past similar projects, where we supported children belonging to the family affected during the terror attacks took place on 24th of August, 2003 at Zaveri Bazaar & Gateway of India and the one that took place on 7th July, 2006 at various sub urban railway stations of Mumbai.\nOn 26th November 2008 Mumbai faced terror attacks which drew worldwide global condemnation, 188 children were identified for the Educational Scholarship Program in the first round. Of these, 35 children were selected for the additional assistance of 10,000 (INR) per year for their higher education. In all 252 terror affected children were helped during the course of 10 years.\nWhile we were still in the thick of the Terror Project, another calamity occurred in the form of triple bomb blasts at Zaveri Bazar, Opera House and Dadar on 7th July 2011. This time RNCT covered more 48 children under their ESP.\nPosts reviewing the cases through constant supervision the ESP team recommended to re‐ launch the program for its Phase II. In this phase we have identified 60 cases of children who are at a crucial stage of learning and need hand holding in terms to their education.\nYour help will go a long way in creating a new life for these children. #IamNewIndia.

Après avoir analysé les fondements de l’utilitarisme classique, dans cette sixième leçon nous vous invitons à une réflexion sur l’héritage de Bentham, du XIXe siècle jusqu’à nos jours. Ce sera l’occasion de découvrir de quelle manière John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) a réorienté l’utilitarisme benthamien, mais aussi d’aborder ensemble quelques cas pratiques d’application de l’éthique utilitariste dans le monde contemporain.En plus des séquences vidéo à regarder, nous vous proposons comme lecture de référence le quatrième chapitre de l’ouvrage "L’Utilitarisme" de John Stuart Mill. Nous vous invitons également à consulter la bibliographie du cours et à compléter le test d'évaluation QCM. Les forums de discussion restent à votre disposition pour toute question ou commentaire : n’hésitez pas à participer. -------- After analysing the foundations of classical utilitarianism, this sixth lesson invites you to reflect on the legacy of Bentham, from the nineteenth Century to the present. This lesson is an opportunity to discover how John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) reoriented Bentham’s utilitarianism, but also to jointly address some practical applications of utilitarianism in our contemporary world. In addition to watching the video clips, we suggest you read the fourth chapter of the book "Utilitarianism" by John Stuart Mill. We also invite you to consult the bibliography for this lesson and to complete the multiple choice assessment test. Discussion forums are available for any question or comment. Feel free to participate.\nin response to the objections raised against classical utilitarianism.\nif it maximizes the happiness or pleasure of the greatest number.\nnot the sum-total of pleasures, but the sum-total of people's preferences.\nensure that they be satisfied, in the aggregate, as much as possible.\nthat is, not only humans but many species of animal as well.\npleasure and pain, i.e., whether it can suffer.\npleasure and pain to focus on the satisfaction of preferences.\nany moral consideration, has become commonplace in our everyday life.\nto strengthen and refine itself as a theory.\nand utilitarianism's response to them.\nand my life will be devoid of any personal fulfillment or pursuits.\nto promote or further the satisfaction of others' preferences.\nhave preferences, but the sum-total of these preferences.\ntrying to calculate an entire country's fuel consumption.\nrather than individuals first and foremost.\naccepts sacrificing individuals to the common good.\nJohn Hospers, I believe, gave the following example.\nfind the accused guilty, because doing so is less harmful than freeing him.\nThis clearly flies in the face of our intuitive conception of justice.\nthat that is how the utilitarian sum comes out?"\nillustrate the sacrifice of the innocent (and of one's life projects).\nPedro will free the remaining 19.\nThe question is, of course: should Jim accept this bargain?\nall 20 will be shot to death?\nto sacrifice one innocent life to save 19 others?\nto lessen the number of victims?\nseems very unsatisfactory and disturbing.\nrespond to this kind of objection?\non how to maximize well-being and satisfy preferences <i>overall</i>.

In addition to the ranges of Nylon and Aluminium plugs and Inflatable Stoppers, the HFT Pipestoppers® Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®, also manufactures a range of Steel plugs from 1.5" to 72" in diameter.\nThese plugs are typically suitable for more arduous duties such as long immersion in water and use at higher temperatures or for contact with acidic or alkaline environments for which the Nylon and Aluminium plugs might be unsuitable.\nThe plugs are merely inserted into the pipe and the wing nut tightened to force the top and bottom plates together, thereby expanding the rubber ring to seal tightly in the pipe. The patented Friction Free washer enables easy tightening of the wing nuts.\nThe Steel Plugs are manufactured with 1/2", 1" & 2" outlets.\n2" outlet for 20" and greater diameters.\nThe standard seals are made from natural rubber although special rubber seals are available for applications which may need a greater chemical resistance and/or higher temperature tolerances.\nAll plugs conform to British Standards BS 8005 for low pressure testing and sealing of pipes.\nIn addition to the ranges of Nylon and Aluminium plugs and Inflatable Stoppers, the HFT Pipestoppers® Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®, also manufactures a range of Double Steel plugs for pressure testing and stopping all pipe work from 50mm (2") upwards.\nA double seal can be even more effective for more arduous duties such as long immersion in water and use at higher temperatures or for contact with acidic or alkaline environments for which the Nylon and Aluminium plugs might be unsuitable. The test pressure capability of the single stoppers is limited and the double versions increase that capability, while offering a greater stability in the pipe. As single plugs approach their pressure limits, they can tend to tip over like a butterfly valve. The double plugs will prevent the tipping and guarantee the seal.\nThe Double Steel Plugs are manufactured with 1/2", 1" & 2" outlets.\nAs with the other steel, nylon and aluminium plugs the natural rubber seals can be exchanged for Silicon, Viton, Nitrile or other chemically and temperature resistant rubbers.\nDouble length plugs give greater stability in pipes and holes. The double length prevents them from tipping or "butterflying" and losing their seals.\nThe double length seal give greater protection against the leakage of hazardous fluids or gasses.\nSome extra resistance against higher pressures is given, however like all plugs, they should be braced for safety purposes when gas pressure testing is employed.
