Zipline Stoderzinken – pure adventure! Stoderzinken Zipline – pure adventure! Definitely not for people who are afraid of heights: In the Styrian holiday region of Schladming-Dachstein, the biggest zipline in all of the Alps has been opened. The Stoderzinken Zipline begins at around 1600 m above sea level and sends you down a steel cable suspended as much as 120 m above the ground. On this 2.5 km-long ride, you will reach speeds of as much as 115 km/h. This zipline is unique in all of Europe. It's all about nerve-tingling excitement and an adrenaline kick hand-in-hand with high safety standards. Your speed is regulated by means of wear-free eddy-current brakes. Also meaning that you will be able to break gently just prior to the end of the ride. 30 kg lightweights can rely on them completely, as can sturdier pilots weighing as much as 125 kg.

The Windermere Extreme, a local women’s volleyball club, smashed their way to a third place finish at a B.C. Volleyball Association tournament in Vancouver Dec. 15. They played in five matches, with three of the matches requiring a third game to give the Extreme a total of 13 games. Each regular game goes to 25 points, and each tie-breaker goes to 15. "That’s a lot of volleyball for one day," says team member Jan Budge. "Your arms do get kind of sore after that." The Extreme have been playing together for a number of years at the provincial level, and have 10 practising players. Only seven came to the Vancouver tournament, which meant the team only had one spare. Laura Wetaski and Amy Moore stepped in for the injured Carlee Howell and did "an amazing job of setting," says Budge. "Georgina Titus’s experience was evident as she pounded down several strategic kills while Jodi Rutten and Wanda Chalk continued to put up impenetrable blocks." In the back court, Erica Swanstrom and Budge kept the Extreme in the game with a number of good digs. "We’re actually quite competitive," says Budge. "Most of us have university or club backgrounds, higher than high school, to play at this level. "We could have won this tournament. The team that went on to win we had already beaten in the round robin, and we missed getting in the finals to teams we could have beaten. The games were really close." Windermere Extreme had already played in one tournament, in October, finishing fourth. They will play in one tournament a month, hoping to improve their seeding in the league, until the provincials in March.
It's a sad day in history. It seems that the Bungie Webmaster has died and been replaced by PR people. Just read the most recent Letters to the Webmaster at Bungie.com. Saddened by this turn of events, I wrote the following letter to try and rouse the spirit of our old friend (by "our," I mean people who have been Mac geeks for a long time). By all outward appearances, you've been replaced by an impostor. The January 2006 Letters to the Webmaster on bungie.com lacked the eccentric, venom-filled, obscure-literatary-referencing punch that the replies in all previous installments of your letters section. The Gorilla references were forced, and everything you said seemed to be concentrated through the highly polished lens of a PR department. I'm old enough and have been following Bungie for long enough to have read every Letters to the Webmaster post in the history of Bungie. I've had long conversations with the Disembodied Soul. I'm pleased to say I hold the distinction of getting not one, but two pleasant and on-topic replied from you over the years. I guess I'm old-school. Where are the references to chainsaws and iambic pentameter? Where's the seething, just below the surface rage? Where's the sharp-wit that insults moronic questions in a way the moron can not comprehend? Where is the display of bitter irony about your station at Bungie and life as well? It's a sad day indeed. I can only assume that Frank, or another Bungie newbie has taken up the mantel and assumed your identity. I men nothing against Frank, I was an avid reader of OXM while he was on staff there. Likewise, Bungie has produced works every bit as wonderful as my beloved Marathon trilogy with the new-kids on board so I have no qualms with them either. They just can't compare to you when answering letters from clueless teenagers. You will be missed, O Muse. Now, If I am mistaken and your most recent ramblings are weak due to a particularly intense bender, simply reestablish proof of your identity by eviscerating me with the power and pixel-searing prose of old. If it helps, I have scattered errors in grammar and punctuation throughout this letter.

Bitcoin – the first cryptocurrency – and the technology that supports it, blockchain, didn´t appear from one day to the next. They are the result of more than 40 years of research. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, different initiatives – the majority of them linked to the military – laid the technical foundation for cryptography, a discipline that for a long time was kept in secret by governments. Years later, based on those mathematical advances, a series of algorithms were developed that enabled the creation of “public-key cryptography,” an essential step in the development of blockchain and bitcoin. But it wasn´t until the 1990s that another group of computer projects, linked to freedom of information and the search for a decentralized system, made possible the publication of Bitcoin P2P e-cash, the first milestone in the creation of the cryptocurrency. This entire historical process is linked to a paradigm change with significant economic consequences: the elimination of the figure of the intermediary to validate transactions. Making it unnecessary to have a third party in an exchange of value supposes an enormous cost savings, a fact that has made this technology particularly attractive for companies. As the consultant Iñigo Molero, coauthor of the book Blockchain: The Industrial Revolution of the Internet, said during a recent talk at DevAcademy, “To know where we´re going, it’s important to know where we´ve come from.” His presentation served as the basis for this review of the pioneers of blockchain and bitcoin. Crytpography is essential to blockchain, where information is shared in encrypted format by enormous networks of computers, without any hierarchy. The first sphere of activity to become aware of the power of this discipline –defined by the Royal Academy of Spain as “the art of writing in a secret key, or in an enigmatic manner” – was the military. During the Second World War, governments became aware of the relevance of crytpography for coding and de-coding information. The story of Alan Turing, a brilliant British mathematician regarded as the father of cryptography, is already part of popular culture. As recounted in the film The Imitation Game, he managed to decipher the codes of “Enigma,” – the machine used by the Germans for their communications during World War II, which gave an enormous advantage to the allies. Statue in Manchester, England, of Alan Turing, regarded as the father of cryptography. The Americans did something similar during the War in the Pacific: they deciphered the Purple Code, the ciphering machine used by Japan during the war. These achievements made cryptography an essential discipline for governments, which preferred to maintain it as a state secret because of the sensitivity of its use during wartime. The situation began to change in the 1970s, when a group of visionaries moved ahead with their research to make the freedom of communication offered by cryptography more accessible .Without knowing it they were laying the intellectual foundations of blockchain and bitcoin. In 1976 Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman created the Diffie-Hellman algorithm, with which they hoped to break encrypted keys in two, so that there would be a public one and a private one. With a public key, it´s possible to encrypt a message but to decrypt it, a private key is necessary. Another decisive advance was the creation of the Merkle Trees by the American computer scientist Ralph Merkle. Also, at almost the same time that Diffie and Hellman published their algorithm, Merkel discovered his puzzle. The three are considered the creators of public-key cryptography. Just a year after the Diffie-Hellman algorithm, Americans Ron Rifest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman invented the RSA Algorithm (named for the initials of their surnames) for generating keys, encrypting and decrypting messages. To prove the strength of their code, they published a test for readers of a magazine, which consisted of deciphering a message in exchange for $100. No one managed to do it until the mid-90s, when Derek Atkins, Michael Graff, Arjen K. Lenstra y Paul C. Leyland decided to put different peoples’ computers around the world to work on the same problem, in order to amass more computing power. With these technical bases consolidated, during the 1990s another push was given to the trends that would later crystallize into blockchain and bitcoin. Noteworthy are PGP –Pretty Good Privacy by Phil Zimmermann (1991), the first widely-used encryption software, and Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF, created in 1990), which gave rise to Tim May´s crypto-anarchist manifesto, one of the reference texts in this story. These phenomena were part of the cyberpunk movement, which defended freedom of expression, access to information and privacy as basic elements that should be protected and promoted by technology and cryptography. The seeds of bitcoin had by now been sown, but it´s fair to mention that beforehand, there were other precedents that went by the wayside, such as Digicash, Hashcash, Bitgold, by Nick Szabo (who outlined the concept of intelligent contracts), or B-Money, by Wei Dai. On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published the study he had been working on: Bitcoin P2P e-cash, a system of ‘peer-to-peer’ electronic money without intermediaries. Less than a year later, on January 3, 2009, the first block of the bitcoin blockchain, called the Genesis block, was generated, marking the start of the Bitcoin network. Finally, five days later, on January 8, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator (or creators, as his real identity has not been confirmed) of bitcoin, published Bitcoin v0.1 released, announcing the first transaction with the cryptocurrency.
On behalf of Spellman Law, P.C. posted in Criminal Defense on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. Sometimes, the non-court consequences of criminal activity are as serious as the consequences of a conviction. These "collateral consequences," however, have traditionally come as the result of criminal prosecution. Most of the time, society doesn't inflict serious consequences on people who have never been convicted. On behalf of Spellman Law, P.C. posted in Criminal Defense on Friday, March 15, 2019. On March 15, students around the world plan to strike in order to highlight the global climate crisis and urge leaders to act. Many participants will be skipping school to engage in discussions, lobbying, protests and demonstrations. What happens during your initial court appearance? After the police charge you with a crime, you will need to make an initial appearance in court. Before you enter the courtroom, be sure to know your rights and prepare the necessary materials. What happens before a criminal trial? On behalf of Spellman Law, P.C. posted in Criminal Defense on Thursday, December 27, 2018. An arrest is traumatic for most people. You may wonder what will happen next. After police take you into custody, you will face a series of steps before your case goes to trial in Iowa. You may find some comfort in knowing what those steps are. On behalf of Spellman Law, P.C. posted in Criminal Defense on Wednesday, December 12, 2018. The use of civil forfeitures has been called "policing for profit." The civil forfeiture process usually begins when someone is charged with a crime, either at the state or federal level. At that point, police and prosecutors may find that some of the defendant's money or property is connected to criminal activity. In essence, the prosecutor charges these valuables with being connected to or the proceeds of crime. The defendant bears the burden of proving that they were not. If the defendant fails to prove that, the police and prosecutor's office get to seize the money and property permanently -- even if the defendant has not yet been convicted of any crime. Do you know when to remain silent? On behalf of Spellman Law, P.C. posted in Criminal Defense on Thursday, December 6, 2018. You have probably heard of someone being read their Miranda Rights or "pleading the fifth" when arrested. However, people often misunderstand their right to remain silent and their misunderstanding can hurt their case.
When laypeople conceptualize the detrimental effects of abuse they are likely to focus on the psychological, emotional, or physical pain caused by abusive actions in the immediate moment. But for victims of abuse it’s an around the clock problem, a constant specter hanging over everything they do. This is because of the expectation that abuse could occur at any time, an expectation that is best understood as basic anxiety, meaning the feeling of helplessness in a world perceived as hostile. If you’ve ever been really worried about something you know it didn’t matter whether the thing you were worried about came to pass, that time period filled with anxiety was extremely painful. Abuse sets up a situation where victims are worried pretty much all the time. They’re constantly walking on eggshells, with no idea really of when the other shoe is going to drop. So yes, it’s the pain in the immediate moment caused by abusive actions that prompts their anxiety, but this anxiety extends far beyond the confines of the abusive situation to negatively affect all facets of life. This around the clock anxiety is likely to cause a cascade of detrimental effects, quite apart from the emotional and psychological fallout of concrete instances of abuse, effects like symptoms of PTSD and inhibition of thought and action. Victims take on global strategies for relating and being that have more to do with finding relief from anxiety than with striving to grow and self-actualize. We can see then that suffering through abuse is not just a tragedy because of the immediate emotional, psychological, or physical pain but on a deeper level because it changes personality and alters the life course, keeping people from becoming who and what they can be.

The relation between life and death is a subject of perennial relevance for all human beings--and indeed, the whole world and the entire universe, in as much as, according to the saying of ancient Greek philosophy, all things that come into being pass away. "In this book, the mutual implication of death and life is demonstrated from an astronomical level, in the emergence of human life from the death of stars, to the molecular level where death enables the emergence of cellular life, through anthropological, philosophical, and theological insights, to the realm of medical care for the dying, where it is claimed that 'only theology can save medicine.' A profound and challenging book." "How can Christians defend the place of natural death and the death consequent upon sin, while continuing to insist upon the undying character of true life as such and so the reality of resurrection? These penetrating essays by several of the leading theological thinkers of our times will powerfully help the reader to ponder these crucial matters of our contemporary mortality." "For once, it is not a polite exaggeration to say this is a 'unique' book. The breadth of disciplines represented and the originality of the analysis offered make it an exceptional contribution to current debates. Anyone who thinks the dialogue between theology and the natural sciences is, at best, an exchange of uncomprehending platitudes, will have to think again in the face of these expert, challenging essays, which show that an orthodox theology of our embodied condition can be culturally transformative." "A substantive, important, and provocative volume. The insights of the essays it encompasses will richly reward the reader." The relation between life and death is a subject of perennial relevance for all human beings--and indeed, the whole world and the entire universe, in as much as, according to the saying of ancient Greek philosophy, all things that come into being pass away. Yet it is also a topic of increasing complexity, for life and death now appear to be more intertwined than previously or commonly thought. Moreover, the relation between life and death is also one of increasing urgency, as through the twin phenomena of an increase in longevity unprecedented in human history and the rendering of death, dying, and the dead person all but invisible, people living in the industrialized and post-industrialized Western world of today have lost touch with the reality of death. This radically new situation, and predicament, has implications--medical, ethical, economic, philosophical, and, not least, theological--that have barely begun to be addressed. This volume gathers together essays by a distinguished and diverse group of scientists, theologians, philosophers, and health practitioners, originally presented in a symposium sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation.

Take shorter showers with the use of a timer to help you keep track. Install a 3-star or higher rated shower head. Use a bucket to collect shower water then use the water collected for cleaning, window washing or in the garden. Use half flush for the toilet when possible. Install a dual flush system or a water-saving device so your toilet only flushes for as long as you hold down the button. Check for a leaking toilet by putting food colouring in the cistern. If the colour starts flowing into the bowl you know you have a leak. (Flush straight after this test so that you don't stain the bowl). Use your dishwasher when full and always use economy settings. Don’t use running water when cleaning pots and pans - soak them instead. Wash fruit or vegetables in a bowl, rather than under running water. Install a flow regulator on taps to reduce up to 50%. Ensure any leaks are fixed. Only use the washing machine if you have a full load. Consider using a 4-star rated washing machine. Use ‘sud-saver’ or ‘economy’ option on your machine. Pre-treat stains to reduce the need to re-wash clothes. Hand wash clothes with only the necessary amount of water. Always look for appliances that are 3 stars or higher. Flow control regulators and aerators on taps will cut flow by up to 50%. Ensure sink plugs throughout your house don't leak. Insulate hot water pipes to reduce warm-up time and save water and electricity. A leak can waste a huge amount of water. Read your meter before you go to bed and again first thing in the morning. If it has changed while you have not used any water then you have a leak. Use a hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle, a bucket or a watering can to water plants.Choose drought tolerant plants. Install a drip irrigation system. Use mulch on your garden to reduce evaportaion. Use greywater collected from your bathroom and laundry to water your garden. Use wetting agents to help soil to absorb water more easily. Sweep hard surfaces with stiff bristle broom, rather than watering. Use a compost bin. Compost helps soil retain water and is packed full of nutrients that will give your garden the extra boost it needs. Wash your car using a bucket and sponge. Look for a local carwash that uses high pressure, low volume equipment. Cover up your pool when not in use. Ensure there are no leaks in your pool system. The water level should be halfway up the skimmer opening for maximum water efficiency. Clean out your skimmer often. Only backwash until the water is clear in the sight glass or at the drain point – one or two minutes at the most. In summer, it's best to run your pool filter eight to ten hours a day - especially when people are in the pool. If you have a rainwater tank use the rainwater to top up your pool. Ensure your pool's quality is maintained all year 'round. Have you considered Cyclic Watering? Experts recommend that you water your plants using an efficient method known as cyclic watering. Cyclic watering keeps your garden healthy with minimal water usage. Cyclic watering does not cause excessive pooling or runoff, and helps water better penetrate the soil. The principles of cyclic watering can be applied to all watering methods, including drip irrigation and hand watering. Water a designated area until pooling and runoff begins, and then turn the water off. Leave the area for half an hour to an hour to allow the water to soak into the soil. Water the area again until pooling and runoff begins, and then turn the water off. Again, leave the area for half an hour to an hour to allow the water to soak into the soil. In between watering cycles, dig around to see if the water is reaching the root zones. Then you will know how many times you have to repeat the cyclic watering process to let the water reach areas where it is really needed. You can then program your drip irrigation system accordingly. Remember to water under the allowed times. Has your water usage increased? There are many reasons that your usage may increase and this will ultimately impact on your bill - find out more. If you are starting a new garden or considering a complete overhaul of your existing garden, visit your local nursery, call a garden or lawn care expert for inspiration and great ideas on how to create a sustainable, water-efficient and beautiful garden.

Just as we wouldn't expect David Lynch to deliver a traditional movie, nor should we expect him to deliver a traditional commencement address. "I did an interview with the Des Moines Register and said that this would be a strange commencement speech," the creator of Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, and (with Mark Frost) Twin Peaks tells the 2016 graduating class of the Maharishi University of Management by way of opening not a speech but an on-stage question-and-answer session. The questions came from select students who want to know things like how he sees the world looking in ten years, what makes a good leader, and what makes a meaningful life. One also wants to know how to "reconcile a job or career with our dharma or purpose." To that question, the very first, Lynch can respond with only one word: "Wow." But then, he had to have expected that question from a student at MUM, an institution established to provide something called "Consciousness-Based education" under which you don't just gain knowledge but "your awareness expands, improving your ability to absorb knowledge and see the big picture." Integral to all this is Transcendental Meditation, the technique developed by MUM founder (and guru to the likes of the Beatles and the Beach Boys) Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and which Lynch himself has practiced since 1973. Even if you have no interest in Lynch's memories of the Maharishi (a possible subject of a future movie of his, he implies), or in meditation of any kind, Lynch still dispenses a fair few pieces of valuable advice during these twenty minutes. "I always equate ideas sort of like fish — we don’t make the fish, we catch the fish," he says in response to one student who asks about how he falls in love with the ideas out of which his projects develop. "You fall in love with an idea and for me it may just be a fragment of a whole thing like a script, or a whole film, but this little fragment is so thrilling and you fall in love." And "once you get one fragment, it’s like bait on a hook to catch more fragments." More concretely, another student asks Lynch to go back to his time at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (which draws a "Whoa" from Lynch) and consider whether he'd make all the same decisions again. "I was very lucky," he says of avoiding the drugs in vogue at the time because of the warnings of his friends. "They were all taking them, but for some reason they warned me against it. So I guess I dodged a bullet." But he does admit to, after his daily meditation practice, never failing to imbibe one consciousness-altering substance: coffee. And when an aspiring filmmaker asks for the "one thing that you learned on one of your film sets that then became a life lesson," Lynch reveals something perhaps even more important to him than always getting his coffee: "Always have final cut." Here I was hoping he’d have something inspiring to say, rather than preaching to his choir.
Virginia Beach, Va. – Torrential rain and strong winds suspended the first round of stroke-play qualifying at the 2011 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, being conducted at 6,187-yard, par-72 Bayville Golf Club in Virginia Beach, Va. Round one will resume at 8 a.m. on Sunday, with play proceeding in 10-minute intervals. The second round of stroke-play qualifying is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. Bayville G.C. received approximately 1 inch of rain on Saturday, which fell on ground that was already saturated from the more than 8 inches that had fallen in the past two weeks. Following an initial suspension due to unplayable conditions at 12:45 p.m., the announcement that play had been suspended for the day came at 4:15 p.m. from Championship Director Donna Mummert. Puddling and casual-water accumulations in the fairways, as well as the forecast for constant afternoon rain, were the key factors that led to Mummert’s decision. We had instances where players were having to take relief from casual water a significant distance from where their balls had come to rest, said Mummert, in some cases actually going from the fairway to the rough. That’s when we know that we’re not playing the game properly. The ground was just so saturated that if we were able to get out there and put the squeegees to the fairways, we weren’t buying enough of a break for when the rain would come back. While all 66 players with morning tee times started their rounds, only nine players were able to finish before play was suspended. Marilyn Hardy, 50, of Houston, Texas, is the clubhouse leader with a score of 10-over 82. Seven players from the afternoon wave had begun their rounds before the suspension of play, including 2010 runner-up and Virginia Beach resident Carol Robertson, 28. Defending champion Meghan Stasi, 33, of Oakland Park, Fla., was among the 59 players who did not tee off.

Russell Scherrer is taking another shot at constructing a new auction business, and this time he is promising to provide Wales officials with specific details about his plans. Scherrer and his attorney, Charles Ritter, appeared at Tuesday's work session of the Wales Town Board to answer questions about Scherrer's application for a special-use permit for Auctions International on its current site at 11167 Big Tree Road (Route 20A). The Town Board revoked Scherrer's permit two years ago for failing to comply with town codes and conditions of the permit. Scherrer told the board he has finances and a clearer picture to present to the board. He said his plan calls for the operation to be built in three phases. * Phase I, to be completed by June 15, would consist of an administrative office building housing 15 employees. Outdoor lighting and 40 parking spots will be allowed on the site until Phase I and II are completed. * Phase II, to be completed by next August, would include additional buildings in the front portion of the property and indoor auctions. * Phase III, to be finished by November 2012, would include an L-shaped flea market on the perimeter of the property. When everything is complete, the site would have parking for 150. Ritter asked the board to consider allowing Scherrer to use the current sanitary system for Phase I until the larger crowds are attracted. Jude Hartrich, a board member, told Ritter that the board wants a detailed business plan in writing with deadlines. In another matter, Denise Marshall, a director for the Elma, Marilla and Wales Boys & Girls Club, asked the board to consider an increase of $250 in the board's normal annual donation when the town budget is compiled. Voters in the the Iroquois School District, she explained, defeated the school budget, so the district is required by law to charge rent.
A reader dear to me dropped me a line and I was so charmed by her question that I wanted to share it here, with only the minimum of paraphrasing. Dear Alysia: I've been thinking about "Fairwil" and I want you to know that I'll be sad if Fair and Gomery meet at the diving board in the very last paragraph of the book on the very last line, or don't somehow get together, even if not under the diving board, before the final page. You wouldn't do that to us, would you? Dear Reader: How are you? So great to hear from you. What's new? I've been happily busy, finishing up this last book for a late spring publication. You're all on my mind and I think of you often, even as I'm away from this blog for a bit. Please be well and let me know all that is going on in your life. Also? I wouldn't. I am not said Reader, and the thought hadn't crossed my mind that you wouldn't. Until I read that question and then I got all panicky. I love the sweetly longing and the almost but not quite-ness of it all, but I need me some everloving diving board! And then I read your reply. Whew! Thank you for squashing that panic in the bud.

Iberia Líneas Aéreas de España, S.A. (Iberia Airlines of Spain in English), usually shortened to Iberia, is the largest airline of Spain, based in Madrid. The years following World War I saw a large advancement in aircraft technology with concomitant increase in possibilities for rapid connections between international business concerns. Germany had many business concerns, particularly in Africa and South America, but was still reliant on ships and land routes to reach these. In order to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles stipulation that prohibited German aircraft access to flying over France, agents in Spain explored the possibility an air liaison between Germany and Spain. As such Deutsche Luft Hansa on behalf of German government, established a general agreement with the Spanish government which was signed on December 9, 1927 authorizing an air service between both countries. Iberia, Compañía Aérea de Transportes was incorporated on June 28, 1927 with an initial capital investment by the financier Horacio Echeberrieta and Deutsche Luft Hansa of 1.1 million pesetas. The company obtained Government authorisation to establish commercial daily (except Sunday) connections between Madrid and Barcelona. A fleet of three Rohrbach Roland monoplanes were bought in from Deutsche Luft Hansa. Flight operations started on December 14, 1927 with inaugural flights aimed to coincide at a commemorative show in Madrid. The opening ceremony at Carabanchel aerodrome was attended by Alfonso XIII and the president of Iberia, Horacio Echeberrieta. The maiden flight from Madrid left on schedule, taking off from Madrid at 12:30 and arriving in Barcelona 3½ hours later. However the Barcelona to Madrid flight was briefly forced to stop in Almazán, Soria due to reduced visibility caused by snow. Although this flight had set off at 9:00, aiming to arrive in Madrid at midday, the delay meant it arrived in Madrid two hours after the dignitaries had already left. Passengers in front of an Iberia Breguet 27 Limousine in 1931. Within a year, the company was sponsored by the government to provide postal transport between Madrid and Barcelona. Meanwhile, Deutsche Luft Hansa was favourably rewarded for the 24% investment in the Iberia company when it was granted the regular service between Germany and Spain. On January 5, 1928 the route Barcelona – Marseilles – Geneva – Zürich – Stuttgart – Leipzig/Halle – Erfurt – Berlin was initiated. In July 1928, a twin-engined Dornier Wal was added to the fleet. This seaplane was used on a pioneering route between Cádiz and the Canary Islands. This was used to test the viability of a postal route to South America, by extending the route via Cape Verde Islands. During the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera, it was proposed that the aviation companies in Spain should be combined and become state-controlled as a general interest public utility. This came into effect in early 1928. As a consequence, Iberia was merged into Compañía de Líneas Aéreas Subvencionadas S.A. (C.L.A.S.S.A.) together with the following other airlines Unión Aérea Española (U.A.E.), Compañía Española de Tráfico Aéreo (C.E.T.A.) the pilot training company Compañía Española de Aviación (C.E.A.) and the airship line Transaérea Colón. Although Iberia ceased activities on 29 May 1929, barely eighteen months after having begun operations, the name "Iberia" continued to be registered by Director-General Daniel de Araoz y Aréjula. Of all the airlines that formed CLASSA, Iberia would be the only one to keep in existence after the merger. Following the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931 the LAPE (Líneas Aéreas Postales Españolas) company, the airline that would replace CLASSA, became established. LAPE began operations in April 1932, CLASSA flying under the Spanish Republican Flag for one year. LAPE operated even during the Spanish Civil War, mainly in its Madrid - Barcelona line, although a great part of the planes of its fleet were requisitioned by the Spanish Republican Air Force and used as military transports. As the name "Iberia" was still registered, it was used anew when airline operations began in 1937 in territory held by the rebel faction during the Spanish Civil War. In 1939, after the end of the conflict, the planes belonging to LAPE's fleet were repainted with the Iberia airline livery. When the Iberia company fully restarted operations following the Civil War, it became a purely domestic airline. It won the right to many of the international routes, such as the service between Madrid and Lisbon; which had been previously established in early 1927 by Unión Aérea Española (U.A.E.). Inaugural flight to Bata (Ecuatorial Guinea) in 1941. One eighth of the new Iberia's capital investment was offered to Ala Littoria, fascist Italy's airline. After some deliberation, due to its negative experience in investing in the related Corporacion Sud Americana dos Servicios Aéreos, Ala Littoria decided to invest capital in Iberia in the form of two aircraft which were to join Iberia's fleet. The new Iberia's shares were held by the Spanish government (51%) and private investors (49%). Foreign interests could only own up to a maximum of 50% of the 49% of Iberia shares allocated to foreign investment. Ala Littoria purchased three Ju 52 airframes (without engines) from Lufthansa and gave them to Iberia in lieu of capital. The aircraft were put to work initially on the Rome-Venice-Munich-Berlin route. The company still had close ties with Lufthansa, which during World War II caused considerable difficulties to maintain the fleet as the import of fuel and spare parts was infrequent. In addition the Allied Powers refused cooperation with the company until connections with Nazi Germany were severed.

An Iberia McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The airline was nationalised on September 30, 1944, becoming part of INI. In 1946, using the Douglas DC-4 on the Madrid to Montevideo and Buenos Aires route, it became the first airline to fly between Europe and South America after WWII. The lucrative market to South America was helped by the families separated by the Civil War. However, there was intense competition from Air France, KLM and British South American Airways. Since the company was struggling to meet domestic demand, the Government allowed another company, Aviaco, to operate the domestic routes that Iberia did not use from February 18, 1948. By the Pact of Madrid in 1953, visa requirements were eliminated for US visitors to Spain. This stimulated the commencement of transatlantic flights between Spain and United States the following year. In addition, the amendments made in Montreal to the Convention on International Civil Aviation on June 14, 1954 were liberal to Spain, allowing impetus for mass tourism using charter planes. Iberia responded to the increased traffic by acquiring a fleet of Lockheed Super Constellation long range aircraft and these served the routes to North and South America from 1954. The pressurised twin-engined Convair 440 was introduced to the company's European routes from 1957. From 1961 Iberia had a fleet of Douglas DC-8 four-engined long range jet airliners. The busiest route was Madrid to Buenos Aires. By 1965 a joint board of Iberia and Aviaco was set up to coordinate policies so that services did not conflict. In the early 1970s the company bought Douglas DC-9s and Boeing 747s as it expanded routes to Central America, Warsaw, Athens and Istanbul. In 1974 it launched Europe's first walk-on shuttle service, linking Madrid and Barcelona. That year it established the Serviberia telephone information service, the precursor of today's popular call centres, as well as the 'Red Jackets', uniformed ground staff with the mission of providing special service to customers and to resolve any problems that might arise. A Boeing 747-400 in 2006. By the 50th anniversary in 1977 the airline carried over 10 million passengers in a year for the first time. There was fierce internal and political debates over the use of Douglas DC-9s or Boeing 727s; with the result that Iberia bought Boeing 727s thereby boosting Boeing's flagging production line. However this financial commitment and subsequent failure to anticipate predicted passenger numbers, caused heavy losses for the company during the 1980s. This was especially disappointing in 1982, with the visit of Pope and the football World Cup. By 1987 routes to Tel Aviv, Khartoum, Moscow and Tokyo were added. In the late 1980s/early 1990s Iberia planned a fleet renewal with the McDonnell Douglas MD-87, Airbus A320 and Airbus A340 replacing the Douglas DC-9, Boeing 727 and Douglas DC-10 respectively. A number of Boeing 757s were also bought. At this time Iberia began to build up interests in other Spanish airlines – Aviaco, Viva Air, Binter Canarias and Binter Mediterráneo – and Latin American airlines Aerolíneas Argentinas, Viasa and Ladeco. In June 1990 the company led a consortium to buy Aerolíneas Argentinas for an agreed $2billion for 85% stake and the following year bought 45% stake in Viasa for $145million. In 1991 Iberia set up Europe's first international airline frequent-flyer programme, Iberia Plus, and, in 1996, the airline launched the www.iberia.com website. The company ordered 76 aircraft from Airbus in February 1998, which was largest single consignment of Airbus ordered, and bought Aviaco in 1999 and inherited its fleet. This was the start of Iberia's shift from a Boeing/McDonnell Douglas fleet to an Airbus fleet. By this stage privatisation calls from European Union and Spanish Government were being implemented. In December 1999 the company became semi-privatised with shares distributed 40% shareholders, 9% British Airways for €245million and 1% American Airlines. An initial public offering on October 2000 failed to go ahead, due to internal business difficulties, most notably the failure to offload stock in Aerolíneas Argentinas. Iberia is an international transportation group, operating in about 100 airports in 40 countries, employing more than 26,000 people. In 2002, Iberia celebrated its 75th anniversary making it one of the oldest airlines in the world. During those 75 years nearly 500 million people have been flown by Iberia, placing the company among the five largest European airlines, and important for routes connecting Spain with Europe and Latin America. The Iberia Group encompasses the Iberia Regional/Air Nostrum franchise. In addition to transporting passengers and freight, Iberia carries out many related activities, such as aircraft maintenance, handling in airports, IT systems, in-flight catering, and holiday packages. Iberia Group airlines fly to 97 destinations in 40 countries. Via code-sharing arrangements with other companies, it offers flights to another 60 destinations in 25 countries. With a fleet of almost 200 aircraft, it makes about 1,000 flights each day. In 2002, Iberia carried 28 million passengers and 210,000 tons of freight. In addition, Iberia is an aircraft maintenance company, servicing its own fleet and those of another 48 companies, including some European airlines.[which?] Iberia is the main supplier of aircraft handling services at all Spanish airports, with more than 200 airline clients. Iberia was a founding partner in the computerised air ticket reservation system Amadeus CRS, with an 18.28% stake – this was sold in 2005. It is also a tour operator through its Viva Tours and Tiempo Libre units, and with Cacesa it supplies package delivery services. Iberia is allied with American Airlines and British Airways, and on September 1, 1999, joined the Oneworld alliance. British Airways owns 9% of its share capital. In July 2004, Iberia announced it had decided to move its Latin American hub from Miami, Florida to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Although rumoured plans that the airline was considering to set the hub at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport were discarded with the announcement, Iberia announced that it plans to expand its Puerto Rican schedules to connect San Juan with Central American cities. In 2005, Iberia introduced its new Business Plus Class, on its Airbus A340 aircraft. On February 5, 2006 the new Terminal 4 at Madrid Barajas was awarded to Iberia and the Oneworld alliance members. This provided expansion capabilities for Iberia. Iberia alone is responsible for around 60% of Madrid Barajas traffic. In 2005 Iberia and its regional branch Air Nostrum transported 21,619,041 passengers to/from Madrid Barajas alone. On November 12, 2009, Iberia Airlines confirmed that it had reached a preliminary agreement to merge with British Airways. The merger between the two carriers will create the world's third-largest airline in terms of revenue. On April 25, 2010, it was confirmed that British Airways and Iberia had agreed to a merger, forming the International Airlines Group, although each airline would continue to operate under its current brand. International Airlines Group, established its head office in London and its registered office in Madrid, operating mainly from its two main hubs of London Heathrow Airport and Madrid Barajas Airport with secondary hubs at London Gatwick Airport and Barcelona El Prat Airport. On December 23, 1948 a Douglas DC-3 crashed in bad weather near Gandesa killing all 27 occupants. On March 5, 1973, 68 people were killed in a mid-air collision above the French city of Nantes involving an Iberia Douglas DC-9 flying from Palma to London as Flight 504; and a Convair 990 Coronado aircraft, operating as Spantax Flight 400. The Spantax Convair 990 was able to make a successful emergency landing whilst the Iberia DC-9 crashed killing everyone on board. The accident occurred during a French air traffic controllers' strike. On December 17, 1973, an Iberia McDonnell Douglas DC-10 registered EC-CBN overran the runway upon landing at Boston Logan after a flight from Madrid Airport. There were no fatalities amongst the 168 people on board, however the aircraft was written off. On February 19, 1985, Iberia Flight 610, a Boeing 727-256 crashed after hitting a television antenna installed on the summit of Monte Oiz while landing in Bilbao, killing 148 people. On July 26, 1996 Iberia Flight 6621, a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10-30 flying from Madrid to Havana was hijacked mid-flight. The hijacker, a Lebanese national named Ibrahim Saada demanded the flight be diverted to Miami International Airport. Saada was later apprehended and faced up to 20 years in prison. No one was hurt and the flight later landed at Jose Marti International Airport some hours later. On November 9, 2007 an Iberia Airbus A340-600, registration EC-JOH, was badly damaged after sliding off the runway at Old Mariscal Sucre International Airport. No injuries were reported. According to Airbus, the aircraft was written-off. ^ Luis Utrilla Navarro & Marcos García Cruzado (2005). Madrid: Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea, S.A., ed.

It is one of the important principles in life [a teaching given to me by my Guru Sri Bhagavan, many many years ago], that one has to become aware of any prejudice lurking within oneself, as one stands at the threshold of any new line of enquiry into an ostensibly unknown realm. Such an inward perception, at the very commencement of a new enquiry will enable us to steer clear of any crippling prejudice that we may be harbouring, and of which, we may not be sufficiently aware, without that self-critical internal probing. ‘Endeavours’ is not even the right term in this context, for we are dealing here with massive collective-aspirations which are in the nature of ‘intellectual, social or spiritual movements’. Such movements may come into existence, triggered by some crisis, and then may go on to have a life of their own for some centuries or even perhaps for some thousands of years. For the study of Vedic Astrology, and for unearthing that possible hidden prejudice against astrology itself[which though lying buried within ourselves, nevertheless, decisively restrains us from taking a head-long passionate plunge into its mysteries & farther reaches]; it has become necessary to understand both these movements in human history, and see them in their proper perspectives.

Looking forward for HVS Image while each generation since the HVS Image 2100 has been simplified yet made more powerful we believe that the next generation of HVS Image technology can be a major step forwards both in ease of use and in quality of data - and from that the ability to effortlessly analyse every aspect of behaviour. Part of this means that we are going against designerist fashion trends by enhancing the skeuomorphic user interfaces that made Apple and Windows user friendly rather than forcing the user to learn new obscure symbols. This isn't twee - a well designed skeuomorphic interface element uses metaphors that are easier to operate and since the screen elements will be designed for touch screen in future they need not take up more screen space than standard interface elements. This is particularly the case if they work smoothly with the Metro and Windows 8 operating system interface design standards. And of course skeuomorphic interface elements are a metaphor - not a straitjacket. It doesn't mean that we need to put wood cladding on the side of the water maze - just that we have clearly labelled buttons with picture icons and the design can work alongside custom controls to incorporate numeric input and feedback for accurately setting a value.

Even if you’re not at risk of dying, you can still get other people sick. The number of people who died from the flu in the 2017-2018 season. Estrada Anton // Shutterstock - Even if you will not die from flu, your actions affect others. It feels like up until a couple years ago, the accepted line about the flu shot was that you only needed it if you were a) young, b) old, or c) sick, and that maybe it didn’t work that well anyway because it only protects against certain (the most common) strains. Millennials received this info gratefully; finally, a thing we were not responsible for, an errand we did not actually have to do. Unfortunately, this is wrong; in fact, everyone should get the flu shot. Last year’s flu season was the worst in a decade, worse than the year of swine flu. Over 80,000 people died. There are many factors at work, but a big one that medical professionals attributed to the unusually high rate of deaths and infections was a drop in the rate of adults who bothered to get their shot — yes, those same people between the ages of 18 and 65 who “don’t need” it. To think about vaccines as they affect each person individually is blinkered; sure, you don’t want to get sick, but more than vaccines prevent individual illness, they prevent illnesses from spreading. We see this already with children in locations where it’s trendy among parents to simply not get their kids vaccinated from preventable diseases like measles out of irrational fears; because of those parents, those diseases spread faster and people die more frequently. Epidemics happen because of new, wild, aggressive disease strains, but they also happen for lack of prevention. More to the point, just because you can afford to miss work or buy medication when you get sick doesn’t mean others can. In the same way you don’t not vote because nothing is bothering you specifically, you don’t not get the flu shot because you are very likely to survive it yourself. This is how social contracts work: How a collective action impacts you personally is maybe the least important thing, especially if you are in the most privileged group. Please get your flu shot.
I usually cook a couple of pounds of beans in one day, depending on the size of your cooker (refer to the manufacturers guidelines) about a pound at a time. So yes, I will cook several batches, one after another and then store them in the freezer for an easy addition to soups and other meals. I know some resources say that you can cook the beans without soaking, or ‘quick soak’ them by letting them sit in boiling water, here’s my experience: You know all the things beans are supposed to do to you, the bad things why folks don’t want to eat beans? In my experience, the gentler you prepare the beans the less they cause you to have to forego your upcoming social appointments. 😉 That includes soaking them overnight, draining and rinsing them before putting them in the cooking pot and cooking over gentle heat. Yes, it takes a bit longer but the results are way worth it. Have I ever led you astray? No? See! For most beans: 1 pound dried beans = 2 cups dried = 4 – 5 cups cooked beans= 3-4 cans of beans! Rinse the dried beans in cold water, then to soak overnight place in a good-sized bowl (the beans will swell and get bigger as they soak up the water) and cover with cold water. You want them covered by at least two inches of water. Option A: Regular pot is fine, just cover with plenty of water and bring to a boil then reduce and simmer until tender, can take 1-2 hours depending on the variety. Options B (my preferred method): Pressure Cooker, (following manufacturers guidelines) For mine that means cover with about a finger’s width of fresh water, close the lid and place on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat until the pressure valve gets up to the first red ring, turn heat to low and set your timer (*see below). After releasing the pressure from the cooker by running cold water over it, open and drain the cooked beans in a colander in your sink until cool, then package in snack sized zip top bags, and store 6 to 8 baggies in a gallon sized bag labelled with the type of bean and the date before putting in the freezer. And please understand that every pressure cooker is different, the beans could be fresher or older, so you do need to experiment a little. A lot of times I can tell by the smell of the steam escaping the pot if they still smell ‘green’ and need more cooking. I pre-soak all of these beans, unless otherwise stated. I also find that letting the pot stand off the heat for a while before releasing the pressure by running cold water over the outsides and the top keeps the beans nicer. NEVER EVER try to open a cooker that is still under pressure, this could be highly dangerous as the water still boils inside the cooker long after it’s been removed from the fire! Also too drastic of a pressure change and they tend to burst, same when you cook them at too high a pressure, so stick with the first red ring. This is not an activity to watch TV next to. *Buy beans at a place where they have a quick turnover. WHile they are dry and will keep a long time, quality will diminish over time, just like with anything else you eat. Buy your beans at a latin or indian grocer, folks that eat a lot of beans tend to not have them on the shelf as long. *Do not mix beans from two packages bought at different times. Cooking time varies with how old and dry the beans are as well as by variety and a new bag plus one that just showed up in the back of your pantry could cook at different times leaving some beans hard and some mushy. I wanted to do something a bit special, celebratory for our 1 year anniversary and how better to celebrate than with something sweet and chocolatey? Yes, it is true, today my little blog turns one! And since the weather looked a good deal like fall today I added another good for you ingredient: Pumpkin, to make it moist (also packs vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Iron, Manganese and is a good source of fiber) and chick pea flour to keep it gluten free. I did have a whole big bag of chickpea flour, from who knows what recipe originally that I just rediscovered last week in making Socca. By the way, get Besan from the Indian grocer, much cheaper than other healthfood store brands. As a matter of fact, anything you can buy at an ethnic store will be cheaper. If it is considered a specialty or an exotic item the grocery store will a) buy less of it, making it more expensive, and b) they can get away with charging premium dollar for ‘delicacies’ and ‘gourmet food’.For example, if you have a Asian grocer nearby, get your shallots there, also rice and rice noodles, dried or fresh will be a lot cheaper, so is Tofu, if you have that on your meal plan. Indian grocers usually carry various beans, peas and lentils, spices and almonds are usually less as well. And of course they have Besan, which is the chick pea flour we just talked about. But since it is not sold as a ‘gluten free’ flour… fraction of the cost! In a large bowl mash the bananas and mix in the pumpkin puree, then stir in the cocoa powder. Add the flours and 2 tablespoons of the raw sugar to the cocoa mixture and stir until well blended, then add the chocolate chips or nuts. Bake in the middle of the pre heated oven for 45-50 minutes or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Soft serve state… …or popsicle, fantastic either way! Well, beyond dreaming, this is not going to get much words from me, except it’ only 2 ingredients and a must-try! No added sugar since mangoes are sweet as a dream, and if you use coconut milk, the whole thing is vegan. With the machine running, slowly pour in coconut milk (or half and half, if going the dairy route) until the mango crumbles start to blend into a homogenous mass. Gosh, you have no idea, but just writing about those cookies makes my mouth water, and of course they are already gone… (I see some more baking coming up in this girl’s future) They are chewy and fragrant and yes, the texture is somewhat different than regular oatmeal cookies, after all there are mostly oats in there (and they are made without gluten flour). If you are cultivating your sweet tooth, please feel free to use more ‘sweet stuff’. The cookies here are getting some of their sweetness from the raisins, but they would be a perfect treat for my Dad, who doesn’t really like sweets. I am a big believer in flavor over just plain sweet, or salty for that matter; and these cookies fit the bill perfectly. Stir the flax mix into the bowl with the oats, add up to another 1/4 cup of water if dough looks too dry. Drop cookies by the rounded tablespoon onto a prepared baking sheet, and bake until golden brown on the bottom and just starting to turn golden on top, about 8 to 11 minutes. Glorious colors of fall! Here the leaves have finally turned color and as I am typing this I can see the red and yellow leaves glow in the sunlight, and the bronze and ‘still green’ leaves add depth to the shadows. The birds have returned to the bird feeder in droves, the nights finally have that crisp quality you only experience on an early morning in fall and I am enjoying the view to say the least. To celebrate fall, with its vibrant orange of pumpkins, golden corn field and that last rest of summer’s warmth int he afternoon, I roasted up a brightly colored, mighty tasty and versatile sauce/dip/spread. Enjoy! Roast whole red pepper until blackened in spots all over by holding it over a gas flame or placing under the broiler, then place in paper bag to cool a bit (the steam will loosen the skin making it easier to peel, added bonus, you won’t burn your fingers as much). Peel red pepper (don’t have a guy do this, for some reason their hands are not made the same as ours and they cannot handle heat, as per my experience 😉 ) , this works best using a paper towel and literally rubbing the skin off. Cut in half and discard the seeds, then chop flesh. Place pepper in your food processor or blender. I use a really cute mini processor for sauces and dips. And blend until you have a chunky mess, add the olive oil, blend until fairly smooth. Add the pumpkin and salt and process some more. The result should not have any chunks left in it but be smooooooth. Gently reheat to use over pasta, like the Pumpkin Goat Cheese Ravioli for example or chill and use as a spread for sandwiches or serve cold as a dip for veggies. Yields about 1 1/2 cups. The story goes: After one of the Gods (Brahma) gave the demon Mahish the power not to be destroyed by man (including male Gods) because of doing a good deed for Brahma, Mahish started to cause all sorts of terror. So, the 3 forms of God, Brahma (birth or creation), Vishnu (life or preservation) and Shiva (death or destruction) combined their energies and powers and created a female form of God (Devi or Durga) to destroy the demon, (since no man could vanquish him). She represents the furious powers of all the male gods, and is the ferocious protector of the righteous, and destroyer of the evil. Durga is usually portrayed as riding a lion, and carrying weapons in her many arms. I’ve also heard “Durga” means ‘invincible‘ and she is the personification of ‘shakti’ or divine feminine force! * Make sure that one of these is frozen. If it is still hot outside, both may be frozen or you could add some ice cubes before blending. Put all ingredients in the blender, starting with the banana, add fruit, then the almond butter on top and pour the liquid over top. Enjoy or pack in a cooler or lunchbox and take to work to have throughout the day. Pour into popsicle molds (or any small paper or plastic cups and add one of those wooden sticks they sell at craft stores) and freeze for a sugar free treat later.
Classroom Ready...and a few freebies! My school adopted a new reading program and I've been trying my very best to make sure I am ready and organized in order to do my very best this year. So I've got tons of pictures and freebies to share. I'm also working on my Pacing Guide for this year. It will be available very soon. But first...here's a little taste of some of my wedding news. In 99 days I will be a MRS.! WHAT!! You can't even see the best part of it...I'm so in love!! So here's my classroom. I'll start with first steps into my room. This is the door to my room. I used butcher paper and crumbled it up into long strips to make a rainbow. I wrote my little ones names on clouds and taped them onto the rainbow. I have 23 kids this year! Underneath, I kept my How will you start the day? poster up. Kids choose a hug, handshake, high five, or hollywood kiss. Here's the link for that freebie. This the view as soon as you step into the room. Kids will drop their lunches in the bucket on the right. Straight ahead are the coat cubbies. Kids place their backpacks and coats in these cubbies. The cubbies to the right are for papers that need to go home. Here are a few more close up pictures of the wall on the right. This is how kids will mark their choices for lunch each day. On top of the cubbies are some clothespins. Kids mark their choice and I record it on our daily lunch sheet. If you'd like the sign, "What's for Lunch?", click here. The pictures for the lunch choices were from TpT. The sign says, Welcome to Kindergarten. More on the pennant signs later. Here's a close up of the kids coat cubbies. In the book boxes (which I found at IKEA for super cheap) are the journals and folders the kiddos will need for the year. These are pics of my supply closet (I know I died last year when I found out I had a closet!) There's tons of stuff in there but it works. When the door to the supply closet is closed...this is hanging on the door. This is for the kiddos to use throughout the day. They mostly use the supplies when they are at the creation station (art center) but it holds extra scissors, glue sticks and other daily used supplies. Here's a close up shot. I found the labels on TpT. This is the door to the bathroom. I decided to use it as our birthday door as well. I hope it stays nice and neat...and germ free all year. On each cupcake is a candle for each child's birthday. Here's how I made each candle. I drew some rectangles then covered them with washi tape. Then, I drew some flames (this is where I'll place the number date of each kiddos' birthday). On each candle is a label of each kiddos' name. This is my center chart. After reading Jan Richardson's book this summer, I decided to try a new way to post my centers. I needed a few more pocket charts in order to make it work. The pennant says centers...more on those later. This is my writing center. The sign says, "Writer's Wall". I took a cue from Mrs. Wills and posted my monthly/theme vocabulary words on a string with clothespins. They will be changed out as our units change. I have Back to School words posted. This is another part of the writing center. It's hard to see...but on top are various activities for kids to choose from. I also have writing tools available on the top shelf. The next shelf holds different kinds of paper for the kiddos to choose from. The second shelf has an organizer bin that holds envelopes, index cards and post-it notes. This row also has our class set of dry erase boards and makers. The last shelf has our classroom clipboards. This is the back of the writing center shelf. It's my science wall. The pennant says, "science". More on those later. On the left, are the steps of the scientific method. This is my area. I got rid of my teacher desk last year so I just use the computer/tv desk for my teacher desk. It helps cut down on build up if I have a very small area to work in. It also helps create more student space. This is my small group area. Right now, I have goodies for the first day sprawled across the top. I know it's super tiny...but I don't like jellybean/kidney tables. I can easily fit 3-4 kiddos here. I might need to change it out for a larger rectangular table but...we will see. This is right next to my area and my small group table. The bins on the right hold my small group binders. I was able to fit 3 in each bin. The cart also holds my leveled readers. I need to organize them a little more but I like having everything in one place. The binders hold my RtI paperwork. The rainbow bins on the left hold all the stuff I need for small groups. I was able to fit a few small dry erase boards and markers in a bin. They also are organized by skill. So I have a drawer with rhyming games, another with phoneme segmentation games, and so on. This is my calendar space. Last year I had more space for calendar stuff...but I had to cut it down to this space so I had plenty of room for Fundations. To the left are my classroom jobs. These are a freebie on my TpT site. Click here for your copy. To the right is my Teacher, can I chart. Here is a close up of how I set up my Teacher, can I? signs. I got rid of the Yes/No choice and printed out some thumbs up/down pictures. Now, kiddos will know exactly what their options are! I really like this new change. And...I made sure to add the thumbs up/down option to the download which is free on TpT. Click here to get yourself a copy. This is my Fundations wall. I had to devote a lot of space to the posters we use in Fundations. I like the set up because it's in the center of my classroom so the kids have enough space to see each lesson. It's also in a great place so if kiddos need to work on the carpet or in their seats, they can still see everything with ease. The pennant at the top says, "Fundations". More on those later.. This is going to be my poetry center. The pennant says, "poetry". These are my organization bins for different colored markers, color pencils, or crayons. I'm hoping that when I hear, "I need an orange." Kiddos will head over to these bins and grab what they need. If you'd like a copy of the little crayon color signs, click here. This is my listening center. Last year, I had the signs printed out on larger sized paper...but this year I sized down and just taped the steps on to the table. This is my classroom library. The bucket holds tons of pillow choices for the kiddos. They love to lay out and read. The bags on the wall are take home bags that feature an activity and a book. Kids take home one bag each week. Here's my word wall...I need a little something up at top...It looks a little boring. But I'm sure anchor charts and kids work will fill up that empty space in no time. That was intense!! Lots of pictures...but I'm really excited for my new set up this year. I'm hoping that I'm organized enough to have a smooth year (fingers crossed). I have in my room. Here are a couple of warnings before you download. 1. I made it so that each page could be printed in the ROYGBIV pattern. 2. I had to organize the pages in a different way so the letters are a little mixed up. 3. There are 49 pages of letters. 5. Lastly, unfortunately due to time constraints I can't personalize this freebie. Hey Vera you have been hard at it. You say your room is small but with all the nooks and signs ...it looks huge. Glad to have you back blogging and super excited for you... 99 days and counting. All the best for a great year. I'm your newest follower! I'm also going to be sending you my first SLANT box!! Yay! Ill be emailing you soon with some questions. Fun!
The RAF didn't operate UFOs from Little Fartington. But they never flew them because Boscombe (and the UK) was covered with the wrong kind of air for them to operate. Charles Frederick? He was in the R&D Dept at the same time I was!

Although it is required of attorneys to maintain client confidentiality at all times, it is prudent for clients, especially corporate clients, to examine a law firm’s data security practices before hiring them. Karsof™ Integrated Network Security System can insure the level of security needed to keep your important legal information safe, for both you and your attorney. Law firms are required to implement specific data security practices and they must ensure that all staff and personnel understand and adhere to such procedures. This usually involved password protection and other forms of penetrable encryptions. Even with every protection, these methods are not only penetrable, but they’re outdated technology worthy of being backup, not your main security. Karsof™ Integrated Network Security System is a more secure way to protect yourself and your sensitive legal documents. Law firms need to have distinct rules in order to protect employee to employee document transfers, but most importantly, for arbitration and litigation transfers. Law firms, as well as their corporate clients who may be sharing confidential information, should have a system in place that provides such support regarding confidentiality and takes the utmost precautions to protect transmitted information. Karsof Systems provides that level of security; it offers an integrated network system that unequivocally protects and secures your documents. Undoubtedly, having rules and a system that protects a firm’s document storage, and retention procedures are very important. However, the eventual destruction of those documents is equally as important. Karsof Systems ensured the secure destruction of documents with its patented Integrated Network Security System technology. Many states have laws that require firms to retain documents for a certain number of years, but digital document disposal isn’t as easy as shredding the hard copies of the past. And although digital documents do solve the problem of space, it does pose the problem of eventually needing to destroy a digital document. This is never an issue with Karsof Systems; they ensure only authorized personnel are able to access and fully destroy documents when necessary.
The kids (my niece and nephew) were still pretty little when Nickelodeon started their Nick at Nite programing in the early 1980s. And it was fun to watch Joseph and Emily get such enjoyment out of some of the same TV shows we used to watch when we were kids (The Donna Reed Show, Leave it to Beaver, Dennis the Mennis, Andy Griffith, The Munsters). Because Nick at Nite’s programming was somewhat limited in those early days, my sister would tape some of their favorite episodes, and they’d watch them over and over again. You’d know when it was live or Memorex if the kids knew all the lines. So, here comes Nicodemus, a Pharisee, a member of the highest Jewish council permitted by the Roman government: the Sanhedin. This was a man well versed in matters of faith and tradition; a man of religious letters; a man filled with the self-assurance and confidence and sense of personal eminence which comes from absolutely `knowing’ what was right. And yet – in spite of all that self-assurance and `knowing’ – something compels Nicodemus to seek Jesus out under the cloak of darkness. Some speculate that the Pharisees sent Nicodemus to trap Jesus in an unguarded moment of heresy and didn’t want to alert his followers to their plan. Others suggest that Nicodemus came to Jesus because he was genuinely intrigued by all the things – the signs and teachings – he had been hearing about, but didn’t want his own colleagues to see him meeting with this renegade Rabbi. John’s Gospel makes a really big deal out of the analogy of darkness and light. In fact, he starts his Gospel with a parallel to the Creation Story in Genesis: out of the darkness of the formless void God brings forth the Light of world. Turns out, old Nicodemus is a literalist; has no imagination. I read a story some time ago about a young homeless man who was discovered, by a maintenance person, to be hiding in one of our denominations’ large prestigious churches. Apparently he had been lurking in the church for quite some time; living in the attic, spending his day in darkness, only venturing forth during the night to prowl about the church, feeding on the leftovers from church suppers, moving about in the building only at night, listening in on the daily activities of the congregation from his secret hideaway up in the attic somewhere. Someone who’s been moving about in the midst of the congregation; present, but not really here; wandering around the margins, living in the shadows, afraid of being found out? Do you know someone who is physically – bodily – here, but won’t allow themselves to be fully here; here with the rest of us; here with Jesus Christ? Someone, perhaps, concealing their darkness by personality façade; or secreting deep insecurities behind a mask of bravado; or veiling nagging uncertainty behind a know-it-all attitude? Someone who mouths the words of the prayers and hymn, who goes through the motions of worship, but for some reason the meaning of it all never pierces the depths of the heart. It’s not enough that you know the rules and regulations, the doctrine and polity, the prayers and liturgy. “You have to be born again,” Jesus told Nicodemus. At one point, I’d signed up for a course called, “Early Childhood Education.” It turned out not to be what I thought it was going to be. Two nights a week I found myself, with 15 or so women of various ages, reading dozens of children’s books, and making Halloween ghosts from ping pong balls and Kleenex, and Christmas angels from tongue depressors and construction paper. And, frankly, I was having a hard time engaging in the course work. Now, few other questions can strike such fear into the heart of a Presbyterian. “It is a rallying cry, a code word, for a brand of evangelicalism,” as John Buchanan puts it, “that is not only outside our comfort zone, but with which we do not always agree. I would agree with my esteemed colleague, that that is the wrong interpretation of the phrase “born again.” Jesus was not suggesting that you had to be absolutely sure of yourself or certain of all the answers to life’s tough questions. He was not saying that you had to graduate from seminary or Moody Bible Institute, or have at your fingertips a Bible verse suitable for every occasion. Instead, Jesus was saying something far more remarkable than that: You must be born anew – born like a baby (ibid. 2010). Brought out of the hidden darkness of the womb into the Light of New Life. Innocent of all presumed knowledge; naked and vulnerable; exposed to the light. Instinctively imprinting on the One whom you trust to meet all your needs. And, though she may or may not have meant for this to happen, I did a lot of thinking about that question as I drove home; a lot of thinking about this class I was taking and what – or rather who – it was really for; and my attitude about it all. Interestingly enough, from that moment on, I found the remainder of that course to be a lot more enjoyable, and informative. God works in mysterious ways. The Spirit, indeed, moves where it wills. I’ve been in ministry a long time now; dare I say it, maybe even as long as old Nicodemus. But I still don’t have all the answers to life’s tough questions. What I am fairly certain of, however, is that we all come to this place as people who are seeking Light because, to one degree or another, we are still living in the dark. But take heart, for, in this place, we discover that those who come to Jesus in the midst of darkness – whatever that darkness happens to be – will find themselves being born anew into the Life of the one who is the Light of all people.
K5 went on a visit to "Dolchezze" bakery, next to the Kinder. We tought some vocabulary in English to the employees and owner, and they tought us how they do their job. We learnt a lot and... We received some cookies at the end! Thank you very much "Dolchezze"!!! Escuchamos otra versión de la historia.
We set off on a cold but bright morning from Rowlands Gill and crossed our first viaduct. John engaged us with his well researched knowledge into the industry that used to be on this route - including coal mines, coke ovens and railways. He also pointed out historic features that are largely unknown and unnoticed. We were even treated to an unsolved murder case at an abandoned railway station! We covered approx 5 miles until we came to Ebchester where we availed ourselves of an excellent lunch at the Derwent Walk Inn.

Typically bulging forehead wrinkles, sagging eyebrows give angry or even sad expression, which would becomes even more expressed with the age so making our face look older. But these can be smoothened with small incisions made on the hairy scalp, so stay hidden, and the eyebrow can be raised. The forehead lift can be recommended for all those who would like to correct these characteristics gaining more youthful face with this and it is also can be used as a supplement for the facelift. At the first meeting you can discuss with your plastic surgeon what kind of expectations you have and considering this, the plastic surgeon chooses the suitable procedure (for example there can be a need for the facelift or the wrinkle-filling as well) then reviews the process of the procedure. Under local or general anesthesia from the incisions made on the hairy scalp we strain the skin layer of the forehead, lift the eyebrows, and correct the horizontal and vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows. The duration of the operation is 1 – 1,5 hours. It is recommended to spend 1 night in the clinic after the surgery. In the initial stage of the recovery smaller edemas or haemorrhages around the eye may occur, these can be treated easily. Washing the scalp should be avoided on the next week after the operation, we remove the stitches after 2 weeks. The result of the forehead lift is the more open, fresher face.
One month ago, Full Tilt Poker, the world’s second largest online poker site, held the 17th cycle of its popular Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS). If you missed out on any of the FTOPS XVII action or just want a chance to do it all over again, head to Full Tilt this week for the start of MiniFTOPS XVII. The tournament series begins on Wednesday, September 8th and features the same slate of events as FTOPS XVII, but with buy-ins that are one-tenth as large. Don’t be fooled, though. MiniFTOPS XVII will still feature $6 million in guaranteed prize money. Plus, its Main Event is shaping up to be quite a spectacle. The $75 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament will take place on Sunday, September 19th and post a $1 million guaranteed prize pool. Last time this tournament ran, 14,396 players turned out and “RioMata” banked $124,000 for the win following a three-way chop. Nearly 1,900 players made the money. A MiniFTOPS XVII leaderboard contest will also be held and its winner will take home a buy-in to every single FTOPS XVIII event except for the Two-Day tournament. The prize has a value of around $10,000 and FTOPS XVIII will likely occur before the end of 2010. To sign up for any MiniFTOPS XVII tournament, head to Full Tilt. Remember, the site happily accepts players from the United States.

After a few weeks of planning, everything started up smoothly for DesignMeets Decades of Design — and some extra-nice March weather allowed us to enjoy the warm evening conversation outside on the Hard Rock patio. Around 60 people attended this mid-week event with attendees from a range of industries from software and marketing to communication and other design types. Tero Hollo started the evening with a longish but engaging revelation of how old memes, ideas and designs periodically resurface and mutate into today’s ideas. We ended his period with a brief discussion and few points about being aware and keeping an eye out for opportunities to recycle nostalgic ideas to entertain and reach your audience. Thanks for great organization, the opportunity to be part of a group of amazing, talented speakers and for the chance to share with the Ottawa community. The future looks brighter because of events like DesignMeets where sharing brings more inspiration, solutions and opportunities! Evening anchor Patty Vargas and official photographer for the event, capped the night recapping her journey that helped create key online photography business models and resources by recognizing and embracing change. Her story of how an Ottawa upstart changed the world of online stock photography by finding their own unique business model shows us how important it is to think differently. After the presentations wrapped, almost half of us remained to down a few more pints and to conspire on the next event — always an exciting way to end the night! We discussed the new social thinkspace in Ottawa, Hub Ottawa, and opportunities for growing the design community within our small town. Overall a positive and engaging evening with nuggets of insights and plenty of opportunity for further exploration, we’ll work with our key DesignMeets team and our newest patriots to set another session soon. I see design becoming more recognized as an essential component in how we do things. Businesses are beginning to really see the value design can bring to the table and this will only continue to increase. I also see design diffusing into less specialized fields whereby everyone can contribute to design. The role of the designer may change from an actor to more of a facilitator, guiding collective action through a process of researching, understanding, interpreting and re-interpreting problems and opportunities, and generating, realizing and developing design solutions. Towards a much more participatory future… As technology is emerging to facilitate collaboration like never before, design will change to reflect that. Design will evolve from a practice of a handful of people cooped up in an office towards a process that involves communities, populations, and goes straight to the source of the challenges it’s trying to address. Exciting times lie ahead! Thanks to everyone for a good night! Check out more photos of the event on flickr.

Why must a mixer look like a garage power tool?! Designer Elisabeth Morris asked herself this question when designing the CILO Hand Mixer. Modeled after the OXO brand language and philosophy, the CILO concept foregoes the power tool aesthetic for a more minimal, elegant design. Its low-profile footprint and sophisticated aesthetic mean you can leave it out on the counter as a kind of sculptural piece without taking up much space. It also eliminates 3 common problems with standard mixers: cleaning, comfort, and clarity. To make it easy to clean, a metalized plastic cover overhangs before the ventilation channel and is a cinch to wipe clean. For enhanced ergonomics, it features a handleless design – simply wrap your hand around CILO in whatever orientation feels most comfortable whether that be from below, from the side perpendicular to yourself, or on the top. Unlike other mixers with loads of confusing switches and buttons, the CILO makes it easy to operate by using a standard OXO light-up rotating switch. The single release button is positioned directly over the whisks to make its function intuitive. Additional features of the CILO design include a swivel back that rotates the cord to get it out of your way, a non-slip silicone rubber grip that covers the length of the mixer, and a detachable rear cover that makes repairs and maintenance possible. The motor is housed at an angle for optimum balance and bowl overhang. When you are done, you can quickly wrap and clip the cord around the body of the mixer for consolidated storage.
Crimson was deliberately chosen by the Editorial Group as the colour for this journal as it represents, for us, imagination, intuition, potentiality, struggle and transformation. Designed for this journal by artist, Sam Rolleston: The central Koru indicates growth, activity and action. The mirrored lateral Koru branches indicate reflection. Transformation is shown by the change of the initial plain Koru design to a more elaborate one.

Jacob Abernethy and I have found a computationally tractable method for computing an optimal (or near optimal depending on setting) master algorithm combining expert predictions addressing this open problem. A draft is here. Some extra details: The algorithm is optimal given a small amount of side information (k in the draft). What is the best way to remove this side information? The removal is necessary for a practical algorithm. One mechanism may be the k->infinity limit.
Enjoy the article below. More lawsuits for Chicago City Workers at Taxpayer's expense. Patrick McDonough. Chicago judge OKs plan to bar political patronage hiring Friday, January 18, 2008 | 5:50 PM CHICAGO — A federal judge approved Friday a plan to end political patronage hiring at Chicago's City Hall after modifying it to require officials to log all contacts about hiring from aldermen or the mayor. U.S. District Judge Wayne R. Andersen also warned city officials that court-ordered monitoring of their hiring practices will not end until they stamp out the tradition of giving city payroll jobs to campaign workers. "Court oversight will continue until the city is in substantial compliance," Andersen said in his eight-page order. Patronage — the practice of giving city jobs to doorbell-ringing precinct captains who get out the vote for the mayor and his allies — has been part of Chicago politics since anyone can remember. A court decree banning it has been in effect for decades but has been all but ignored. Andersen approved a patronage-ending blueprint submitted by the city with one modification. The plan requires city officials to report calls involving hiring to a newly appointed hiring process compliance monitor. City officials wanted such reports to be made only if such calls represented "an improper contact based on political reasons or factors from any elected official." Andersen said that placed too much responsibility for deciding what was improper on those getting the call. He ordered officials to log all calls involving hiring. But Andersen found in favor of city officials on another issue. Andersen already has appointed Chicago attorney Noelle Brennan as the monitor to oversee efforts to end patronage practices. But the blueprint he adopted Friday calls for a separate, hiring process compliance monitor to be hired by the city to oversee the plan. Brennan and critics of City Hall such as attorney Michael Shakman had wanted the compliance monitor to report directly to the city's inspector general, David Hoffman, a well regarded former federal prosecutor. Andersen said Hoffman "appears to be doing an excellent job." But he agreed with city officials that there was no reason why the new compliance monitor should not report to the head of the city office of compliance. He said that would work as long as city officials were sincere in trying to make the process work. "He's more optimistic than I am about the willingness of the city to change its ways," said Shakman, for many years the most outspoken critic of the patronage system. He said he doubted that there has been "the kind of change in culture you need to make reforms stick." The battle over patronage hiring at City Hall has been raging in the courts for decades. It was Shakman who in 1969 filed a lawsuit that is still alive before Andersen seeking to wipe out the patronage system. Shakman filed the suit after he was beaten in a race for delegate to the 1970 Illinois Constitutional Convention. He blamed the help his opponent got from a horde of precinct captains and other doorbell ringing campaign workers who had jobs on the city payroll. I find it amazing that the federal monitor says rigged hiring is still rampant but what did she expect. City workers are still in charge of who gets hired. Were federal monitors giving the job interviews. NO. Were federal monitors doing background checks on prospective employees. NO. Were federal monitors in the human resources department going over applications to see who was the best qualified for the job. Of course not. So miss Brennan just what were you monitoring. Having a monitor sit in the room during the interview was a joke. You might as well have had Bozo the clown in there. What did you think the interviewer was going to ask the applicant “by the way who do you know” while he was sitting there. As I have said all along this was all a big scam. The monitor was never there to monitor hiring they were there to give the impression they were monitoring hiring. How else could this be going on right under her nose if they were really there to fix things. The only way rigged hiring is ever going to be rooted out is to have an independant company do the interviews and hiring. Otherwise it’s business as usual in good ol’ corrupt Chicago. (Response) A job well done. More on this soon. The only way…..is to remove those committing the frauds. When a limb is rotten, filled with putrid decay, you cut it off, you don’t put a band-aid on it. When cancerous cells exist, a body with a strong immune system destroys them. A body with a weak immune system allows cancerous cells to flourish, thus, sickening the entire body, leading to eventual death. Our body politic is infested with the cancerous cells of dishonest individuals. Any treatment, other than strengthening our political immune system, is doomed to failure. The citizens are their own immune system, akin to each citizen/voter being an individual white blood cell. In the body, when the white blood cells fail to identify and eliminate cancerous cells, the result is a diseased condition, eventually leading to the death of the body. In the body politic, each citizen/voter must dedicate themselves to doing the job of eliminating the cancerous individuals infesting our governments. The citizen/voters have failed ion their duty to Democracy. Thus, we have what we have. Whining about the cancers infecting our governments and occasionally removing a few cancerous individuals does nothing to cure the patient, does less than nothing to return the body politic to a state of authentic health and only pacifies the body politic into thinking that they are healthy. Just how sickened does the body politic need to get, before the immune system of the majority of citizen/voters will take action? Every election, we, the citizen/voters, have the opportunity to purge our political body of these defective elements. Will we ever have the courage, determination and intelligence to do so?

Way back in the late '90s and early 2000s, many Perl fans could rattle off a list of big projects using Perl: Slashdot, Amazon.com, IMDB. Eyebrows popped up (maybe at one point), as if the fact that billions of dollars of online sales went through Perl were validation of a language. Today much of the online Perl community discussion reads as reactionary, at least to me. Some random Internet argument will degrade into "Perl? Isn't that insert negative description here?" versus "Nuh uh, Perl isn't insert negative description here!" Me, I'd rather hear about interesting new projects written in Perl. Take the recent Duck Duck Go written in Perl story. Repeat this a few dozen times (especially with new projects created in the past year or two) and responses will move from "Perl? People still use that?" to "Wow, people who know Perl can certainly do a lot of interesting things!" I'd rather see the latter message spread than almost any other marketing message—so tell the world, what are you working on with Perl? Chris Hardie has a nice talk about framing any discussion. When you use the same words of the negative frame ("Nuh uh, Perl isn't insert negative description here!"), you beg the question that that frame is valid even though you don't intend to reinforce it. Although chromatic, and most seasoned writers, already know this, every word you use contributes to a proposition that you convey to users. Good writers are good because they don't convey any proposition other than what they intend or care to tolerate. Some people just don't want to know. Only yesterday I made a post on reddit about a project I was working on. Somewhere in the comments a guy asked me what it was written in (which was nothing to do with the original post). I told him Perl, and he replied "Perl might be part of your problem.. no one uses Perl, etc. etc.". I pointed out that many big sites (BBC, Amazon, Craigslist) use Perl. But he refused to even believe these companies used them, or if they did that they were anomalies, and everyone else doesn't use Perl. Ok, so there are always going to be people who refuse to listen to anything beyond their preconceived views... but it's hard to know whether there are so many people who think like this that they'll never look at Perl seriously, or if people will eventually come around and give Perl a chance. It has been said, but it seems like the Perl community values internal infrastructure work much more than outwardly facing projects (websites, applications, etc.) It would be great if more people talked about the fun projects they are doing. I know I am guilty of not blogging about my personal projects. Anyways, I'll try to brag here. :) I started a web-based scrabble clone at www.leisurelyletters.com. I also have a hosted (or standalone) web-based IRC client running at www.usealice.org. The source code for both sites are on github. Neither are particularly popular (yet?!), but hopefully they show people that Perl can be used for the fun stuff too.

Vertical is a Waterloo-based startup developing vision-based intelligence technology for the commercial drone industry. Their core product is a combination of sensors and computing that enables a drone to perceive its environment and function autonomously. Vertical has designed a product that is a computer vision-based object-tracking hardware module that will interface with existing motorized gimbals and drones. This enables filmmakers to track high-speed dynamic subjects that would be impossible for a human operator. Using Vertical, you can film in places you can't reach or aim – in the air with a drone, or in tight spaces on the ground.
This post contains a couple fairly graphic images. If human blood makes you uneasy, you may want to skip it. It’s a continuation of the post “Thaipusam: Masochistic Mayhem,” which I suggest reading first if you haven’t done so already. The Thaipusam festival lasts several days and nights, taking place at the Batu Caves about 13km from Kuala Lumpur. I first arrived around 11pm, by which time the crowds were already out in full force. As far as I could tell I was the only tourist there – or at least the only Caucasian – amongst millions and millions of Indians. The gate to the main festival area. As the festival seemed to be divided into several distinct areas, I decided to explore them one at a time. First was the main “inside” section right at the base of the cave; it contained all the booths and stalls characteristic of most festivals I’ve been to, selling everything from cotton candy and soda to doormats and haircuts. Then of course there were the caves themselves; an absolutely enormous chasm atop 272 near-vertical steps, guarded by the world’s largest statue of Murugan. An ascent to the caves marks the end of the festival’s long procession and the stopping point for its thousands of faithful devotees. I watched as they’d make their way up the steps – exhausted, sweaty, and bleeding – before finally being awakened from their trances. But of course the real spectacle of Thaipusam – and the reason I came all this way – was the procession itself. People with spears through their mouths, hooks tearing at their flesh, and thick tridents going straight through their tongues carry big portable shrines, no two quite alike. I know I’ve said this already – but it was truly one of the strangest and most interesting things I’d seen in my life. And trust me, I’ve seen a lot. The route of the procession, seen from the main road to Kuala Lumpur. On the first night of Thaipusam I stayed until around 2am, when the crowds finally started to wear me down – some areas were so busy that it literally felt like I’d be crushed by the millions of Indians shoving about. So after catching a short concert and fireworks display in the shadow of towering Murugan, I decided to pack it up and get rested for tomorrow. And I’m so glad I did – because shortly after returning the following afternoon, I really hit the jackpot. Well today, I found where the trances begin. This is where I first got to witness the descent into madness described in my previous post – human zombies screaming and writhing as they sink farther and farther from reality. I ended up spending nearly 5 hours in this one little area, photographing and videoing, joining various groups for a bit of the procession and returning to once again marvel at the insanity around me. I didn’t head home until 7pm when the sky suddenly became overcast and rain started to fall. It wasn’t all that intense, but in tropical climates like this I’ve learned that even a single drop of means it’s time to start running; clear skies can transform into torrential downpours in barely the blink of an eye. In the tropics, sudden appearance of black clouds = SEEK SHELTER NOW. Note: These posts are behind realtime; the above took place on January 19th and January 20th. That is incredible…I know you are one to “do as the Romans do”, but I am glad you didnt join in…Safe travels! Definitely bigger than the Vegetarian Festival, although it seems to be far wilder in Phuket. Justin! This is amazing… great shots.
"I wanted to retire," he said. "That's what I wanted to do. "That was definitely on my mind. It was there." How seriously was he considering it? Opara says he isn't quite so sure. But a long injury history — and a look toward life after soccer — made it more than just a hasty reaction. He played only three games in 2014 before suffering a rare chondral defect in his right ankle. "I've been through a lot with all the other injuries," he said. "I wanted to be healthy for my life. "And I felt like I couldn't catch a break. It was like, this again? I just wondered if it would be worth it to go through all that all over again." Opara spoke with his family and friends. He told them he was contemplating retirement — only two months after his 26th birthday and only days after national experts put him in the conversation for Major League Soccer's best defender. Then? A change of heart. It came slowly. After undergoing a minimally-invasive surgery — a recently-developed procedure designed to expedite his return to the field — Opara learned his season wasn't over just yet. Doctors allowed for the possibility of a 2015 return. Maybe. A possibility is all he needed. He began rehab in the following weeks. The pain subsided more quickly than he expected. He regained the urge to join his teammates back on the field. And that's looking more and more likely by the day. Opara has returned to Sporting Kansas City practice, at least for the non-contact drills, with an eye toward returning to the field this season. His coach, Peter Vermes, expects it to happen — whether it be before the regular season concludes on Oct. 25 or sometime during the playoffs. "That's always been the goal (since the diagnosis)," Opara said. "Obviously the way I've been progressing, for now, why not try to push and see where it goes? If we keep doing well as a team and hopefully make the playoffs and make a deep run, I see no reason why I wouldn't be available for that." There are still hurdles to cross, of course. While Opara says his lateral movement is "just as good, if not better" than it was prior to the Achilles' tendon rupture, the linear movements are still a work in progress. He is noted for his athleticism — which makes him a dangerous aerial weapon — but his jumping ability hasn't fully returned yet. There are signs it's close. "Ike was in an exercise the other day. If you would've come out here and you didn't know the team, and I (told) you to pick that guy that you think is injured out there, you would never pick him," Vermes said. "I can tell you that." Even so, Opara isn't near 90-minutes fit. And central defender isn't a typical spot for a mid-gme substitution, though Vermes hinted at an exception. "One of the things you can do with Ike is bring him on late in the game, and he can be an extra guy for aerial duels and things like that," Vermes said. "He has value in that respect." It's an exciting possibility — and a potentially significant one for a Sporting KC team in need of an added aerial threat on offensive set pieces. "I don't know what my future holds. I'm just taking it day-by-day," Opara said. "But it looks a lot better than it did a few months ago. I know that."

Drinking water in the midst of a meal, 5-6 sips causes the meal to be digested sooner.

Mixing up the mum drink and flipping on the black gentle just might lure in some historical Egyptian symbols of fine luck—the scarab.

DJ Khaled and boxer Floyd Mayweather will pay big fines to the government for the way they promoted initial coin offerings. Miguel Gutierrez Jr / KUT Austin. Bennu Coffee is one of four locations in Austin that is home to Bitcoin ATMs. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed charges last week against hip hop producer DJ Khaled and boxer Floyd Mayweather. The two have settled with the government over claims they encouraged fans to invest in initial coin offerings without disclosing that they were being paid to do so. It’s the first case of its kind, and just the latest blow for the once high-flying cryptocurrency market. Tech maven Omar Gallaga says BitCoin’s rapid rise in value last year got a lot of potential investors excited about all kinds of cryptocurrency offerings. But now, prices are way down, and regulators are looking out for scams. And questions about to regulate corn offerings are growing. “Are these securities? Can you call them securities, and if so, are they regulated by those same rules that wold apply to stocks?” Gallaga says.
Latest 2016 Home Renovation Tips and Trends! Doing a home renovation for profit looks easy enough on a renovation TV show but in reality, it is often more challenging. Good research, planning and selecting the right local tradies to work with remain extremely crucial. Open-plan living remains a key trend and feature most home buyers look for. But experts add that there are some who leave the renovation far too open without having any definition. You can have the second lounge connect or open to the rest of the house to achieve this. Your interior designer and builder can help you create an interior living space that can transform into an open-plan area but can also be strategically planned for spaces of privacy. Get some insights from your target market in your area including the percentage of buyers preferring open-plan areas versus private ones. Having a good outdoor space can be enticing to many buyers and add incredible value to your home.

A professional landscape designer can help you install the right features and design the area to make it look more enticing. There are many buyers that demand courtyards simply because they can function as the home’s extension. Add some shrubs, trees or plants to make a great impression. In 2016, it will all be about “re-defining” smaller spaces part of larger spaces to boost property value. You can install a pergola over a big grass area to transform it into an entertaining space. Build in some barbecue grill for added value. Simply re-defining parts of your house can make a big difference.
Lady Lydia, thank you for this comprehensive teaching! I am sure it took a great deal of time to put this together. I have taken your teaching to heart and will look for ways to make my home more peaceful, as much as I can. Thank you so much. This is a wonderful lesson of all that is true and good, how to tell when one gets off track, and how to bring it right through our Lord. What a blessing! Tell the critic to keep his mind on Christ and get his focus off others unless he is building others up. Oh Lydia, this is such a good post, and something that has been on my mind a lot lately. I will have to come back and read it again, as there is so much wisdom here. i never tire from reading your posts...so uplifting, so helpful, so full of wisdom and love. wish i could meet you one day...i feel as though we are friends. love and God bless. Lady Lydia, thank you so much for this post. I look forward to any more teachings you give on this subject, as I have fallen victim to these types of people (passive aggressive, narcissistic, trouble makers) at the place where I used to keep my horse. Sadly, I no longer have my beautiful mare, but these people made my life an absolute misery, to the point where I became depressed and withdrawn. I used to be a confident person, able to deal with this type of thing, but they took all my confidence away, so that now I pretty much keep myself to myself and do not seek out company. As always, a pleasure to read your thoughts and see your lovely photographs.
Every man or woman living in this planet earth is faced by one opposition or the other. These forces of the enemy are out to wreck the lives and destiny of men. If you don’t do anything about these opposing forces, they will make a mess of your life and destiny. That is why you can’t afford to miss what am about to share with you on how you can defeat all your enemies including the very stubborn ones. Let me start by stating that all it takes to defeat your adversaries have been done by one man and handed down to you if only you will receive it. Every adversity established or manifesting anywhere is pioneered and controlled by Satan. No matter what is opposing you in any area of your life, Satan is at the root of all of it. That is why you must be ready to do as am about to unveil to you. The devil, your one and only enemy who manifests in divers ways and media is an already defeated force. If you don’t know this, you will continue to live in perpetual fear and defeat all your life. Jesus came into the world to destroy every works of the devil (1John 3:8). He disarm the enemy of all his weaponry and made a public show of them triumphing over them in victory (Col 2:15). But all these does not transform into automatic victory for you unless you know and do what it takes to appropriate it. I have told you all these to let you know that your adversary is only thriving on your ignorance. And that is the only battle you have to fight right now and each an everyday of your life. You need to fight ignorance because your enemy wants you to always believe he has power over you; that is not true. You can defeat your enemy by changing the way you think. You have made your enemy powerful enough by how you think; it’s time to switch your thinking to the powerful one who overcame for you. “The LORD says, “I am the one who strengthens you. Why should you fear mortals, who are no more enduring than grass? Have you forgotten the LORD who made you, who stretched out the heavens and laid the earth’s foundations? Why should you live in constant fear of the fury of those who oppress you, of those who are ready to destroy you? Their fury can no longer touch you. (Isa 51:12-13 GNB). That’s the good news am sharing with you. God, the creator of heaven and earth has won the battle over your enemy for you. It’s time to start thinking of how big this God is. The more you get conscious of how big your God is, the more irrelevant your enemy will assume. You can arise right now with this understanding and order every stubborn enemy out of your life, health, finances and career in the name of Jesus. But let me warn you; the victory that Jesus won over the devil, your enemy can only be accessible if you are genuinely born again by willingly repenting of all your sins and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. You don’t have to be defeated another day. Surrender your life to Jesus now by going to Him in prayer and see your enemy crumbling under your feet. Defeat, enemy, Gloryland, salvation, thinking like God, Tosin Adeola, True Vine Resource. Bookmark.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is a major financier of national HIV responses and a vital source of prevention investments. By 2015, the Global Fund supported 3.6 million pregnant women to receive ARV prophylaxis to prevent transmission to their unborn children and distributed 5.3 billion condoms. In its new strategy (2017-2022), the Global Fund has set ambitious new targets for HIV prevention. For example, the Fund aims to achieve a 38% reduction in new infections over the 2015-2022 period, including a 58% reduction in HIV incidence in adolescent girls and young women aged 15-24. Investments in HIV prevention are particularly vital for key and vulnerable populations, who face disproportionate burden of disease as well as disproportionate barriers to accessing services. But is the Global Fund investing enough in HIV prevention to meet its targets? The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that ending AIDS by 2030 will cost about $25 billion a year. About a quarter (26%) of this amount is required for HIV prevention. ICASO and EANNASO examined funding requests and signed grant agreements from a sample of 25 African countries over the 2014-2016 funding cycle to determine how much the Global Fund is investing in HIV prevention interventions. The aim of this discussion paper is to contribute to civil society and community groups’ advocacy efforts to increase Global Fund investments in HIV prevention interventions during the 2017-2019 funding cycle. • Among the funding requests examined, an average of 16% was dedicated to HIV prevention. • Of the signed grant agreements examined, an average of 15% of the total funding invested was dedicated to HIV prevention. • The Global Fund’s investments in HIV prevention are largely in line with disease burden. Countries with higher numbers of new infections request and receive more HIV prevention funding. • Among the sample, 71% of HIV prevention funding is implemented by a government Principal Recipient (PR), 24% by a civil society PR, and 5% by a UN agency PR. • Advocacy from civil society and communities is absolutely vital, particularly on urging countries to request greater HIV prevention funding for key populations and adolescent girls and young women.

At Hearing on "Fracking," Capitol Police Arrest Director of "Gasland" Fox faces a court hearing on February 15 on charges of “unlawful entry.” As an independent filmmaker, Fox called on congress to make all meetings and hearings accessible to independent journalists. “The truth that fracking contaminates groundwater is out, and no amount of intimidation tactics – either outright challenges to science or the arrest of journalists – will put the genie back in the bottle,” he stated. This is not the first time that Fox has faced pressure against his efforts to bring attention to the topic of “fracking.” Read his open letter to journalists regarding the pushback he received from the gas industry on his film.

The WavLog: A California Surf Blog: Session 5151: I was in the Finals! I was lying in the bed and looking at the window to see the first light that signifies the start of the day. The competition was at 7:30 and the location is going to be the Francis; a beach that I normally avoid surfing because it can be, or shall I say almost always, seriously gnarly. Usually I am fully up by the time the sky gets lighter, but this morning is a bit different. I have been nervous since I gave that $40 entry fee to the surf shop, and I did not catch any satisfactory wave yesterday on a practice session at the Jetty. It is the same kind of the jittery feeling that I had when I had to take the TOEFL test, or a GRE. Both times, I had to get up early, drive 50-60 miles to the next big college town and take the test early in the morning. I got out of a bed and put on a rash guard and board shorts. The outside was now a full day, shrouded in fog, of course. This is Half Moon Bay in the summer after all. But fog in the morning is a nice thing. It usually indicates a lack of wind and so it would be glassy out in the water. As I gathered the gear and started to load them into the car, I was starting to feel a bit more at ease. I kept telling to myself; "What the hell! This is just a local competition, and I know I would come last so there is nothing to lose." It was only 2 minutes drive from home to the Francis Beach, but the anticipation of the big gnarly waves are taking me over as I get closer and closer to the park, and finally I had to face the moment of the truth. I parked the car and I immediately jumped out of it and ran to the beach. "Oh man! Am I going to do this?" Already there was that familiar sound of, and yes, the gnarly white close outs. Already juniors division was working the waves and some contestants were really good. I wished I started surfing that young! Getting nervous in the morning is not a good thing; my internal organs would do the kind of things that only happen if I ate and drink too much or sick from flu. I was hoping that with the changing tide, and hopefully weakening swells, it can get to the point of "doable." I went up to the tent and greeted Dalyn who owns the HMB Board Shop. He has been quite helpful to me lately (I hope that this is because I buy a lot from him.) At least seeing some familiar faces would comfort me a bit. Just when I was feeling a bit better about the situation, I saw another local surfer that I hang out with said; "Oh, no. This is biiigggg! I am not going to do this today!" Right in front of the tent were three judges already scoring. It was actually quite educational to be by the judges listening on the conversation. There was one time a drop in and they were determining whether to disqualify that ride, and also I hear people vocally making comments about each of the rides the contestants are making. It is exactly like a TV broadcast. The Heat Number 10 is where I was placed. That's about 2 hours away. I continued to watch the competition and then I finally decided to go out and practice some more. Getting out was not easy and I was pushed back a lot as the chest level white water barred my way. I push the nose of the board down, find the tail edge of the board to push the tail edge under to do a duck dive, but I could not feel the tail edge of the board. Darn! This is a long board, I can't duck this guy. I decided to get off the board and waited for a bit, then suddenly there was a moment of a lull between the sets. I dashed out and finally made it out. I was hoping that it won't happen during the actual heat. I tried to catch some waves and they were definitely catch-able kinds, I went for them and I got up on the board but twice I wiped out, and another hard paddle out. This cycle happened twice and I still could not get the first turn to set correctly. If and only if I do that then I can get in to the face even if I am inside. On the third wave, I was finally getting the first turn in and rode some. I was encouraged, finally, and the forth wave was acceptable. Going back for more, another lull started to set in then the sets stopped for a long time. Now I was starting to worry that my heat might begin soon. In these kind of competitions, things are not that well organized, so there really is not a set time when my heat starts, it requires a lot of checking on the participant's part. And, as soon as I went back the organizer is calling my name; "Will Manuba Tokunga, please check in at the desk." I thought "Gosh, it's already my turn?" It turned out that I was going to be in the Men's Longboard Finals? "Finals!" What happened is that 3 of the men who were in two other heats dropped out (actually I was almost going to drop out too based on the practice I just had.) So there aren?t enough people to hold two heats. So in essence some people were zipped as they can surf two heats should there have been the qualifying heat. Now, I have ended up sharing the waves with the best of the breed local surfers. Originally I had a glimpse of a hope that if one of the contestants would not catch any waves and if I did one, then I would go to the second heat! I reluctantly put the blue jersey on, and slowly walk towards where other contestants are about to be entering the water. This is probably the most nerve wrecking part of competition to me. Finally and now it is the time to compete! A man at the tent is signaling for us to paddle out. Everyone jumps over the shorebreak and start to paddle like crazy to get out. They do that so easily! Just that moment the set starts to build. We got about 5 minutes to get out and another 5 to wait in the water to wait for the 5-minute warning horn. I was frantically going out, turtled many times, and but I have barely made the outside. But I did. It would have been awfully embarrassing that even if I did not do that, but the first hurdle is over. While we waited, two sets passed by, and they were good. I thought I could have caught them. A few more minutes passed by, some good short boarders were catching some good waves. Then the blast of the 5 minute warning horn cut through the foggy air. We were all sitting in the outside of the lineup waiting for the flag to turn green, and that's the sign to go. There is a lot of waiting and anticipation in surfing and this is one of them which is really something I am not used to yet. They changed the flag to green. We have now gone live and count back the clock for the next 20 minutes. Now we are waiting for the set, and it took for a few minutes before that darkening horizon came. When it did everyone started to go, and all of them were on the wave. I waited for the second one, and I went for it. It was a good wave, I got up on it, but as I was trying to make the first turn, the board over turned, slipped under me and I wiped out. As I tried to paddle back the sets came after another (and why is it that it always always happens to me?) and I was starting to lose time. I paddled and looked back and I was not making any progress. I was almost going to give it up, and then I thought I would just take it easy and just paddle back for one more wave. I stroked deeper and slower and harder on my paddling hands, breathing deeply and regularly. I was half way between the outside line when the waves were reforming, and I caught one ride. Not a good one but a ride that counts. Then another hard but paddle and I did another ride which was also a countable one. On the next get out though the darn sets got frequent again, and I hard the 5-minute horn again. I was a bit relieved that it will be over soon, and kept paddling out but I was not making any progress. So I decided to call it a day. On the way back to the tent to return the jersey, one guy said, "Hey, you did great!" So at least it was not a total loss. And of course what brings all of these nervous wrecks in the end was a great satisfaction of competing against some of the best of the best in local surfing people and added confidence that next year, may be I can become more of a serious contender. Just may be!
Do you want to make money online from share trading? It is a myth that you need to have huge funds required to step into the stock market. With options trading, you can earn an awesome return on your investment with low capital and limited risk. Although options trading is one of the riskiest things. However, a calculated risk can also reward you with high return. So, let’s unfold the key aspects of options trading and how you can make money online from it. An option is basically a contract between a buyer and a seller having a validity or expiry date. The price of the option depends on an underlying asset at a specific price on or before the expiry date. It is also known as derivatives as its value is derived from its underlying asset. Underlying asset could be an index or stock and normally trading options involve hedging your position to minimize losses. Index assets like benchmark Index Nifty, Sensex, and BankNifty and Stocks assets are like Reliance, Suzlon, and SBI. Let’s unfold the key aspects of options trading and how you can make money online from it. So, you can really make money from options trading. The only thing you need to care about is the trend of the underlying asset which you intend to trade. Focus on the trend and pattern and your system will become a money generator for you. When you buy a call option contract that means you are anticipating the underlying index or stock likely to move higher. It shows you are bullish on that particular index and stock option. When you buy a Call option, the price you pay for it, called the option premium. Call option price and its underlying asset price will move in the same direction but the percentage of return may vary. So, if the underlying asset has gone up by 1 percent, then call option may up by 10 percent or even more. In addition, if the underlying asset has gone down then call option price also go down. When you buy a put option contract it means you are anticipating the underlying index or stock likely to go down. It shows you are bearish on that particular index and stock option. Put option price and its underlying asset price will move in the opposite direction. So if the underlying asset gone up by 1 percent, then put option may go down by say 8 percent or more. Furthermore, if the underlying asset price goes down, then put option price will increase. An option Premium is the price of the option which you pay to purchase the option. So, if a call option for X company having a lot size of say 100 and the price is 10 then the options premiums will be 1000. This means that this option costs you 1000. Remember options trading is done in lots size. The Strike (or Exercise) Price is the price at which the underlying asset can be bought or sold as specified in the option contract. If the underlying asset is trading at 50, then 50 in X August 2017 50 CE call option will be the strike price. So, if you believe the price of X will move up from 50 to 60, then buy call option of X having a strike price 60. Although all the call options with different strike price will also increase but strike price with 60 will give you more returns. You can expect more trading volume in this counter than any other. You can choose a strike price in three different circumstances. Check out them below which will help you to decide which strike price to choose from. Call option – underlying asset price is higher than the strike price. Put option – underlying asset price is lower than the strike price. Call option – underlying asset price is lower than the strike price. Put option – underlying asset price is higher than the strike price. The underlying asset price is equivalent to the strike price. The Expiration Date is the date on which the option will no longer valid and ceases to exist. The expiration date for all listed stock and index options in India is last Thursday of the month.
