A cut above the rest; cutting through the muck; clarity; linear; sharp; sharp-tongued; witty; learned points; mastery; shining through; crowning glory or crowning achievement (related to head and brain).
Crown, olive branch, palm leaf, sword, six golden lights (flames?) divided equally by the sword, hand of Spirit or God, cloud, mountains.
It's the olive branch and palm leaf-bedecked crown hovering around the top of the sword that reels me in to this card. There's something ethereal – magical, mystical, otherworldly – about the crown hovering in that way. It takes the general braininess of the suit of swords and imbues it with a "higher calling," as I just heard.
And then there's the symbology of the crown (power, victory, immortality, righteousness) in conjunction with the olive branch (perpetual – heard "everlasting" – peace) and the palm leaf (victory, triumph, eternal life and, also, peace). I hear, "leads the way" and consider how the aces within Tarot can oftentimes be indicative of a fresh start or the beginning of a new leg of a journey or path.
In this case, it would seem the head may lead the way and yet it could be said it's greatly impacted by spirit or soul – at least, it's meant to be.
White, gold, red, green, orange, silver, gray, blue, brown.
It's all that white that stands out here. White, in this instance, speaks (shouts, screams) of clarity. It feels like everything extraneous is cut away and what's left is the sharp, high-definition vision of the truth.
"A hand issues from a cloud, grasping a sword, the point of which is encircled by a crown.
Okay. Well, I get the force aspect given the sword and its general human usage: a show of force. Hatred, though? I guess if that force is generated from a form of hatred – perhaps as it could be said war is generated. Maybe it's because war is a concept I can't (and won't) get behind that I'm not willing to add hatred as a keyword for this card.
The childbirth aspect is interesting and possible, if you consider the penile nod of a sword's design. It's very masculine, though, so that feels a stretch to me.
Deity raising its hand in a show of strength.
The coronation of a monarch.
Adversity overcome through wit and wisdom.
Shining above as with high intellect.
Head in the clouds, and yet able to see through the clouds.
Sharp of mind and body.
Achiever in terms of academics and business.

In my previous post I described the simplicity of installing and using Ericom Blaze, our new RDP Acceleration and Compression product. As I explained in that post, one reason Ericom Blaze is so simple to use is that it does not include or require a centralized management / brokering component (some have called Ericom Blaze "brokerless"),. There are situations, however, where such centralized management and brokering is desired, or even required. For this reason we are also integrating the Ericom Blaze technology into PowerTerm WebConnect, our enterprise-wide desktop and application access solution. PowerTerm WebConnect provides managed access to Terminal Servers, virtual desktops (VDI), and Blade PCs / remote workstations, in a single unified solution. And Ericom Blaze can accelerate and compress RDP access to all these host types. In addition, like PowerTerm WebConnect itself, Ericom Blaze is hypervisor agnostic. This means that it will work with most any virtualization platform, supporting heterogeneous environments and avoiding vendor lock-in. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,845 |

The most famous aircraft of all time ?
1st September 2020 1st September 2020 Gaëtan MarieBoeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Illustrations, World War II
Click to view HD version
"Memphis Belle" was a Boeing B-17F-10-BO Flying Fortress and one of the first B-17 to complete 25 combat missions. It was named after pilot Robert K Morgan's girlfriend Margaret Polk, a resident of Memphis, Tennessee. After completing its tour of operations, the aircraft returned to the US for a war bond tour and propaganda. After the war, it remained in Memphis until the 1980s, slowly degrading due to being outdoors and constantly vandalized by souvenir hunters. The aircraft had been donated to the Air Force by Memphis in the 1970s but remained on location until the National Museum of the United States Air Force recovered it and began a lengthy restoration process. It was unveiled on 17 May 2018 in the WWII Gallery at the NMUSAF, where it still stands today.
The bomber's paint scheme evolved during its career, and even more so after it toured the US after its return. It is represented here as it looked in May 1943 when it completed its 25 combat missions.
"The Belle", as it is sometimes called, was the subject of 1990 movie. It's arguably the most famous aircraft of all time, along with Charles Lindbergh's "Spirit of Saint Louis" and the B-29 Superfortress "Enola Gay" which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Can you think of other aircraft that might be as famous as these three ? Please leave a comment below if you do !

Toronto FC has signed forward Hugo Mbongue to a Homegrown contract through 2025, with an option for 2026.
Next up @hugoldinho_ | #TFCLive
— Toronto FC (@TorontoFC) September 13, 2022
Mbongue now becomes the 31st player in club history to sign for the first team from the academy.
"Hugo is a talented young striker who has worked hard to improve his overall game," said Toronto FC head coach and sporting director Bob Bradley.
"We look forward to seeing Hugo's progress in his professional career and are confident that he's going to become a player who can help the first team for many years."
The 18-year-old forward, who is the younger brother of former TFC midfielder Ralph Priso, scored four goals and provided five assists in 14 MLS NEXT Pro appearances for Toronto FC II.
As some will remember, Mbongue was one of several TFC II players that joined up with the first team squad for preseason training ahead of the 2022 campaign. The forward notably scored a late equalizer in the Reds' 1-1 friendly draw with Sporting Kansas City.
The Toronto native signed his first professional contract with the Young Reds on May 27th, 2022. Now, just over three months later, Mbongue has made the step up to the first team, a hint that he may be in line for a senior debut in one of TFC's final three MLS regular season games of 2022.
A current Canada U-20 international, Mbongue will have his sights set on making his mark within the Toronto FC first team ahead of next season and beyond. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 9,850 |

Anatoli Alexejewitsch Iwanischin (; * 15. Januar 1969 in Irkutsk, Oblast Irkutsk, Russische SFSR, Sowjetunion) ist ein ehemaliger russischer Kosmonaut.
Militärische Ausbildung
Nach Abschluss der Sekundarschule Nr. 11 in Irkutsk bewarb sich Iwanischin 1986 erfolglos an der Höheren Militärfliegerschule für Piloten Tschernigow. Daraufhin belegte er für ein Jahr am damaligen Polytechnischen Institut Irkutsk das Fach Flugzeugbau. Im zweiten Anlauf 1987 wurde er an der Pilotenschule Tschernigow angenommen und schloss diese 1991 mit einer Goldmedaille ab. Anschließend diente er in einer Kampfeinheit der russischen Luftwaffe in Borissoglebsk (Oblast Woronesch), wo er das Mehrzweckkampfflugzeug MiG-29 flog. Ab 1992 diente er als führender Jagdflieger im 159. Luftregiment in Petrosawodsk (Karelien). Dort flog er während seines Dienstes den Luftüberlegenheitsjäger Su-27.
Iwanischin hat den Rang eines Obersten der Russischen Luftstreitkräfte im Ruhestand inne und kann mehr als 550 Flugstunden sowie mindestens 180 Fallschirmsprünge nachweisen. 2003 machte er das Abschlussexamen in Wirtschaftswissenschaft, Statistik und Informationstheorie nach einem Fernstudium an der Staatlichen Universität Moskau.
Raumfahrertätigkeit
Bereits 1997 stand Iwanischin in der engeren Auswahl, jedoch scheiterte seine Kandidatur an den damaligen strengen Kriterien für Sojus-Raumschiffe, er war ein paar Zentimeter zu groß. Am 29. Mai 2003 wurde er dann als Pilot der Luftwaffe ausgewählt, seine Kosmonauten-Grundausbildung schloss er im Juni 2005 mit Auszeichnung ab. Im Oktober 2009 nahm er im Kosmodrom Baikonur an einer Ausbildung für das Miniforschungsmodul 2 teil und er trainierte für einen Langzeitaufenthalt auf der Internationalen Raumstation, u. a. war er Ersatzmann für Dmitri Kondratjew als Kommandant des Raumschiffs Sojus TMA-20 zur ISS. Danach war er Ersatzmann für Andrei Borissenko als Bordingenieur der Mission Sojus TMA-21.
Iwanischin startete am 14. November 2011 zusammen mit Anton Schkaplerow und Daniel Burbank im Raumschiff Sojus TMA-22 zur ISS. Er arbeitete dort als Bordingenieur der Expeditionen 29 und 30 und landete am 27. April 2012 wieder.
Iwanischin startete am 7. Juli 2016 mit Sojus MS-01 zu seiner zweiten ISS-Langzeitmission. Zunächst arbeitete er als Bordingenieur der ISS-Expedition 48. Danach übernahm er das Kommando über die ISS-Expedition 49 und kehrte am 30. Oktober 2016 zur Erde zurück.
Danach wurde Iwanischin als Ersatzkommandant für den Flug von Sojus MS-16 eingeteilt. Nachdem sich der vorgesehene Kommandant Nikolai Tichonow zwei Monate vor dem Start im Training verletzte, rückte Iwanischin nach. Am 9. April 2020 startete er zusammen mit Iwan Wagner und Chris Cassidy zur ISS. Dort arbeitet er als Bordingenieur der ISS-Expeditionen 62 und 63. Die Rückkehr erfolgte am 23. Oktober 2020.
Privates
Anatoli Iwanischin ist verheiratet und hat einen Sohn, der 1993 geboren wurde.

Kansas transfer Dwight Coleby commits to Western Kentucky
Rick Stansbury strikes again.

Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
Kansas transfer Dwight Coleby committed to Western Kentucky and will be immediately eligible, according to Jon Rothstein of FanRag Sports.
Kansas grad transfer Dwight Coleby tells me he has committed to Western Kentucky. Immediately eligible.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) June 10, 2017
The Hilltoppers will be Coleby's third stop in his college career. He spent the first two seasons at Ole Miss before transferring to Kansas, and then ultimately to Western Kentucky.
Coleby has struggled to make a major impact at either of his Power 5 stops. The best season of his career was during his sophomore year at Ole Miss. He averaged 5.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in limited minutes off the bench. He was never able to find consistent minutes in the Jayhawk rotation, however, and his role likely would not have increased much next season.
As a senior, Coleby has an opportunity to provide a veteran presence on a team that has been lauded for its incoming freshmen. A frontcourt consisting of Coleby and McDonald's All-American Mitchell Robinson could prove to be a major problem for opponents in Conference USA.
Most importantly, his commitment shows that Rick Stansbury remains one of the biggest forces on the recruiting trail when he has his eyes set on a recruit. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 9,857 |

Home bird flying to from zero to heroine
Kodiac: is the best yet to come?
By Andrew Caulfield 07 November 2018

A long, long time ago, before racing became so specialised, it wasn't uncommon for the Cheveley Park Stakes to be won by a future Classic winner, the finest example being Pretty Polly, the 1903 winner who went on to take the 1,000 Guineas, Oaks and St Leger.
The betting for the 2018 edition suggested that victory would go to the similarly-named Pretty Pollyanna but the Prix Morny heroine gave the impression that six furlongs was now on the sharp side for her.
Instead victory went to the sprint-bred Kodiac filly Fairyland, who extended the terrific influence exerted on the race over the last nine years by the Prix de Diane winner Rafha.
It was Rafha's Green Desert colt, Invincible Spirit, who was responsible for Hooray and Rosdhu Queen, the Cheveley Park winners of 2010 and 2012. Now Kodiac, Rafha's son by Danehill, has matched his older three-parts-brother, as he was also responsible for the 2014 winner Tiggy Wiggy.
Kodiac and Invincible Spirit will continue to make an impact on the Cheveley Park
Kodiac has also been represented by Madeline, third behind Clemmie in the 2017 Cheveley Park Stakes; Besharah, third to Lumiere in 2015; and Terror, fourth behind Tiggy Wiggy a year earlier, when Invincible Spirit's daughter High Celebrity was third.
There's a strong chance that Kodiac and Invincible Spirit will continue to make an impact on the Cheveley Park and it is possible that the Australian-raced Pride Of Dubai, whose dam is a half-sister to Rafha, will also get into the act with his Irish progeny.
Tiggy Wiggy a notable first
Kodiac's first taste of Group 1 success came via Tiggy Wiggy, a winner of six of her eight starts as a two-year-old, including the Lowther Stakes. Although her second season proved far less successful, the bidding soared to 2,100,000gns when Tiggy Wiggy was offered at the end of the year.
The buyer was M V Magnier and it will surprise no-one that Tiggy Wiggy's first two foals are colts by the great Galileo, who has done so well with mares with Danehill blood.
Magnier and the Coolmore team were also prepared to pay a very substantial price – 925,000gns – to secure Fairyland as a yearling and their gamble has paid off handsomely, with the Tally-Ho-bred filly becoming Kodiac's third Group 1 winner.
As his fee has risen, it is possible that the type of mare being sent to him is also changing
Another top-level winner to emerge in 2018 is Godolphin's Best Solution. He captured a pair of German Group 1 races over a mile and a half before winning the Group 1 Caulfield Cup in Australia over the same distance on October 20.

It could be argued that three Group 1 winners isn't an especially impressive total for a stallion who will be 18 in 2019. However, it mustn't be forgotten that Kodiac didn't cover his first mares until he was six or that he was priced at between €4,000 and €7,500 during his first seven years as a stallion.
It was only as a 13-year-old in 2014 that his fee reached five figures (€10,000) and only as a 14-year-old that his fee soared to a more substantial €25,000.
Needless to say, the level of a stallion's fee is usually reflected in the standard of the mares he receives and this is exemplified by Kodiac's first two Group 1 winners.
Tiggy Wiggy's dam Kheleyf's Silver was rated 86 after winning a maiden at Windsor and was sold by Darley for only 15,000gns, whereas Best Solution's dam Al Andalyya was rated 65 by Timeform after she had failed to reach the first three in five appearances.
Even the high-priced Fairyland is out of the unraced Queenofthefairies, who was a 32,000gns cull from Darley.
Kodiac didn't cover his first mares until he was six
The Pivotal link
Fairyland's broodmare sire Pivotal has established a profitable partnership with Rafha's stallion sons. His daughters' statistics with Invincible Spirit stand at 19 winners from 28 starters, led by the July Cup winner Mayson and the Listed winners Requisition and Rivellino.
Kodiac has four winners from eight starters, the best of them being Fairyland, the six-furlong Listed winner Never Back Down and Fairyland's brother Atletico, who has a Racing Post rating of 107 on the all-weather.
Even though Kodiac will soon be turning 18, there is good reason for hoping that the best is yet to come from this son of Danehill.
His 2018 yearlings were sired at €45,000 and his fee then rose to €50,000 in 2017 and 2018.
As his fee has risen, it is possible that the type of mare being sent to him is also changing. While the emphasis seems to still be very much on speed, the broodmare sires of the Kodiac yearlings in Book 1 of the October Sale include such as Authorized, Montjeu and Daylami.
This means that there may be more middle-distance horses like Best Solution and Danehill Kodiac in Kodiac's higher-priced crops, with Rafha's Classic middle-distance ability also playing its part.
Hands-on feedback better than genes testing
Call me old fashioned, but I have yet to be persuaded of the necessity for some of the services based on genetic testing. It has always been my view that if the trainers and jockeys know what they are doing – and most of them do – their feedback should be enough to establish a young horse's optimum distance.
Of course, some pedigrees represent more of a challenge, when the parents come from different ends of the distance spectrum, but there is a wealth of statistics and video footage out there which can help establish a horse's requirements.
For example, there was always a good chance that Fastnet Rock's son out of Magnolia Lane would never exhibit the speed that had made Fastnet Rock a champion sprinter. Magnolia Lane is a sister to that great stayer Yeats, a four-time winner of the Gold Cup, so was anyone surprised that her Fastnet Rock gelding, Torcedor, became a middle-distance winner at three before becoming a Group 3 winner over a mile and three quarters?
The latest season has illustrated how much Magnolia Lane's stamina has dominated Fastnet Rock's speed, with Torcedor finishing an admirable third in the Gold Cup and a fine second in the Goodwood Cup.

One which might have foxed everybody – but clearly hasn't – is Shadwell's homebred filly Tantheem, who has Teofilo as her sire and Dubawi as her broodmare sire.
Teofilo has an average winning distance of 10.5f, having sired winners of such races as the Irish St Leger, Irish Derby, Yorkshire Oaks, the Lonsdale Cup and the King Edward VII Stakes, as well as the Prix du Cadran in France.
Dubawi has also sired plenty of middle-distance horses, in the process of establishing an average winning distance of 9.6f.
When other Dubawi mares were mated to Teofilo, they produced Mildenberger, runner-up to Roaring Lion in the Dante Stakes, Key Victory, a Listed winner over a mile and a quarter, and Festive Fare, a very useful performer at around a mile and a quarter.
Delve a little deeper into Tantheem's pedigree and you will find that her dam Riqa raced 11 times at up to nine furlongs in France, where she won twice and was second three times in Listed races over a mile.
The breeding purists will also have noted that Tantheem is inbred 4 x 5 to Allegretta, the celebrated broodmare whose juvenile career comprised victories over eight and nine furlongs followed by a good second in the Zetland Stakes over a mile and a quarter.
So how come Tantheem has proved fast enough to win the Group 3 Prix de Meautry over six furlongs and then the Group 3 Prix du Petit Couvert over five?
The answer appears to lie in the third generation of Tantheem's pedigree, as it contains Danzig's fast sons Danehill and Anabaa. Danehill was at most effective over six furlongs, as he showed with his victories in the Group 3 Cork & Orrery Stakes (now the Diamond Jubilee) and the Group 1 Sprint Cup.
Anabaa, for his part, reeled off six consecutive sprint victories as a four-year-old, with the July Cup and Prix Maurice de Gheest among them.
It is worth adding that Danehill and Anabaa crop up together in the pedigrees of several other Group winners, most notably the top Australian colt Dissident, whose five Group 1 successes included two over seven furlongs and two over a mile.
We had another example of the latent speed in Teofilo's pedigree when his grandson Havana Grey became the first winner of the Flying Five Stakes as a Group 1 event. Havana Grey's sire, Havana Gold, ended his career over a mile and a quarter, having raced mainly over seven furlongs and a mile.
Havana Grey is a son of Havana Gold – Photo: George Selwyn
He needed every inch of the mile when he gained his most important success, in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat.
Bearing in mind that Havana Gold was never asked to race over five furlongs and only once over six, I didn't envisage him siring a colt as fast as Havana Grey, who has now won five black-type races, all over the minimum distance.
Havana Grey is arguably the best representative so far of Green Desert inbreeding
Havana Gold was no doubt helped by the fact that Havana Grey's dam Blanc de Chine was a five-furlong specialist by the fast and precocious Dark Angel, Also, don't forget that Havana Gold is inbred 4 x 4 to that great speed influence Danzig, via Danehill and Green Desert.
More Danzig blood has been added to the mix to produce Havana Grey, as his second dam is also by Green Desert, creating 4 x3 to the former long-serving Shadwell stallion.
Havana Grey is arguably the best representative so far of Green Desert inbreeding, but there are several other examples. Hellbent, a six-furlong Group 1 winner in Australia, is inbred 3 x 3, through Invincible Spirit and the champion New Zealand stallion Volksraad, and Fairyland's very useful half-sister Now Or Never is inbred 4 x 4 to Green Desert and 4 x 5 x 5 to Danzig.
We have also seen Monitor Closely win the Group 2 Great Voltigeur but his 2 x 4 inbreeding to Green Desert clearly didn't inject speed. The same can't be said of Barraquero, who is inbred 3 x 3 via Invincible Spirit and Oasis Dream.
He looked to have the makings of a smart sprinter when he won the 2017 Richmond Stakes but has managed only one subsequent start. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 9,859 |
Soldiers from New Windsor find love amid war, plan August wedding
NEW WINDSOR — The bride limped into the troop medical clinic with a pink towel over her eyes, a migraine and a busted foot.
The groom jabbed a needle in her arm, pumped her full of pain medicine and put her in a dark room to rest. There wasn't much else he could do that night in his makeshift quarters in Iraq.
Army Reserve Spc. Chris Munro of St. Louis saw dozens of patients a day, thousands during his 22 months deployed. The night he met his soul mate, Chris said, "I never saw her face."
But a year and a half later, Chris found himself in a military shuttle, hitching a ride to a clinic outside Fort Dix, N.J., when he heard a familiar voice in the back seat.
"I know you from somewhere, don't I?"
They got to talking and soon figured out that Army Spc. Erica Minckler of Liberty was the "broken-foot girl" with the headache from Iraq. She'd had surgery on the foot and was on her way to an appointment.
They exchanged numbers and later met for lunch at a little German place.
"We just started hanging out from then on," Chris said.
Erica left active duty, moved back to the Hudson Valley and joined the 411th Engineer Brigade, an Army reserve unit based at Stewart Air National Guard Base.
When Chris visited, she introduced him to her new unit and jokingly asked a superior if there were any openings for medics.
Next thing you know, Chris moved in with Erica and took a knee.
In August, they'll march down the aisle, pledging to love one another in good times and bad, sickness and health, war time and peace.
At their New Windsor apartment, bridal magazines and honeymoon brochures mingle with flak jackets and combat boots. The pair expects to deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan within a year. Though the military tries to keep spouses together, there's no guarantee.
Some would call this a bad idea. Erica, 22, will be more than a war bride. She'll be a soldier first, assigned where needed, regardless of her husband's missions. Chris, 29, said he'll need to adjust to having his wife surrounded by guys.
Nearly half of the Army Reserve is married, according to a 2005 Department of Defense demographics report. Of those, 7 percent are in dual-military marriages — both husband and wife wear a uniform.
Erica thinks it's easier to share the worst parts of war with someone who's been there.
"We don't always like the same movies or music," she said. But if she needs to talk about something awful she saw in Iraq, or if he needs to swerve around potholes in their suburban neighborhood, "we know," she said. "We know."
To get in shape for their next tour, the couple sometimes run around town wearing combat gear or lift weights in the living room or practice yoga.
"We also want to look good for our wedding," Chris said.
"Want to see the dress?" Erica ordered her fiance to stay put and dashed into the bedroom.
Gently, slowly, she lifted a white gown from the closet and carried it to the bed, her face twinkling like the Fourth of July.
And here's the garter: black lace around a camouflage band.

We get the age of rocks, and religion retains the rock of ages; we study how the heavens go, and they determine how to go to heaven.
Or, science gets the descriptive and the quantitative, religion gets the prescriptive and the qualitative. Facts on one side; values on the other.
'Two Separate Domains' is an essay I read some years ago; yesterday, I discussed it with my philosophy of religion class. On this revisitation, I was struck by how weak and narrowly focused Gould's arguments are.
I do not doubt that one could find an occasional nun who would prefer to teach creationism in her parochial school biology class or an occasional orthodox rabbi who does the same in his yeshiva, but creationism based on biblical literalism makes little sense in either Catholicism or Judaism for neither religion maintains any extensive tradition for reading the Bible as literal truth rather than illuminating literature, based partly on metaphor and allegory…and demanding interpretation for proper understanding. Most Protestant groups, of course, take the same position—the fundamentalist fringe notwithstanding.
Gould's irenic stance is admirable, but I cannot see that the strategy adopted in this essay advances his central thesis very much. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,862 |

What are most convenient ways to explore the Black Forest ? Can if be donebin a dsy trip? If so, whuch us thw nearest city to be ?
The Black Forest is 11,400 square kilometers so planning to see much of it in a day trip is probably not possible. Pick an area to explore and then plan a future trip to explore another area.
There is a 60-kilometer-long Black Forest High Road, the Schwarzwaldhochstraße, that runs between Baden-Baden and Freudenstadt if you have a rental car. It's a beautiful drive.
Baden-Baden and Heidelberg are probably the two most famous towns in the Black Forest.
Not sure where I would suggest basing yourself since we've usually stayed in France and driven over. Freiburg is quite nearby and is a beautiful German town with lots of accommodations. That might be a possibility. It would help to know where you are coming from, i.e. a day trip from where? What do you want to see in the Black Forest? What are you using for transportation? If you don't have a car, you'll ned to stay where you can find tours into the park.

Neither Heidelberg nor Baden-Baden is directly in the Black Forest. Baden-Baden is at least close, but Heidelberg is about 50km to the north of it. Just to make you aware of that.
Depending on when you travel, you can see parts of the Black Forest without a car. There are good bus connections in winter during the height of the skiing season, and even better ones in summer when hikers flock to the Black Forest in masses. As a tourist, you might want to get the KONUS card which gives you free transport. Be aware that though there are many buses, they don't run incredibly frequently, so that you might need much longer than by car. Then again, in high season many of the Black Forest's roads are overrun by tourists and traffic jams are common.
I'd say that getting a first glimpse of the Black Forest is easily doable in one day, but it won't be much more than a first glimpse. If you really want to experience the Black Forest, you'll need to go out and about, i.e. go hiking, skiing, cycling... In that case, I'd base myself in Freiburg (lovely city with lots of accommodation, just outside the Black Forest) or any of the smaller places directly in the Black Forest (e.g. Triberg or Titisee-Neustadt). Many people come back to the Black Forest year after year, and they will always manage to see something new.

Baden-Baden is a spa town in the Black Forest although on the very edge. Heidelberg is north of the Black Forest but is given good mention in the Black Forest Tourist Information web site and is a lovely day trip.
Freiburg is also in the Black Forest and as king golo and I have both suggested would be a good base for your exploration. It's a fairly large town with lots to do and good accommodation. I suspect if you don't have a rental car that you could book tours or take public transportation from Freiburg. One of my favorite things in Freiburg is the Bächle that was originally constructed for watering cattle and as a fire precaution. It's like a tiny canal that wends it way through the town. You can easily step across it. There is also one in Mittenwald which is a picturesque village in Bavaria.
I hope you have more than a day to explore the area because it is absolutely beautiful.

Shamsersingh, you don't give your citizenship.
Many citizenships (e.g. Indian, Chinese, Egyptian etc etc) need a Schengen Visa in order to visit Germany or any other Schengen country.

Thanks to every one who have so kindly and thoughtfully helped and added to knowledge. I am from India and this would be my wife and my first trip to Germany (though I briefly visited Aachen on work earlier). We will have a Schengen visa and will come first to Munich before visiting the Black Forest area. We are planning to stay for a couple of days at Baden Baden or Freiburg (I felt that BB is closer) and hope to see "a bit" of the beautiful forest. Rental car may not be possible but lets see what best to do when we arrive. Hope BB has sights to offer as well like Frieburg though I may have made a mistake in choosing BB over F as halting point for the visit the area.

That whole area is beautiful. I think you'll be happy with your choice. You can always return and visit. The other later. It's fun to plan future trips. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,864 |

Green space, agricultural lands and farming
Home/Living in Niagara 2011/Environment 2011/Green space, agricultural lands and farming
Green space … Niagara covers 1,854.17 square kilometres and has a population density of 230.5 persons per square kilometre. Ontario has a population density of 13.4 persons per square kilometres.
Source: Statistics Canada, 2006, Community Profiles
[pull_quote align="right"]Ecosystems and Natural Areas: in 2060 Niagara will have healthy, well-maintained and resilient natural systems that boast a wide range of species, clean air and water, and a green landscape.[/pull_quote]Agricultural lands and farming: Niagara has rich agricultural lands for growing tender fruits, wine grapes, vegetables, field crops (soybeans, corn, wheat), greenhouse vegetables and flowers, as well as livestock and poultry. Niagara re-designated 129 hectares of land that were originally designated for agricultural purposes for other uses during 2006, higher than the Ontario Municipal Benchmark Initiative (OMBI) average of 77 hectares. A total of 1193 hectares of Niagara's agricultural land has been re-designated for other purposes since 2000, higher than the OMBI average of 318.4 hectares. In 2007, 1,130 hectares of land were returned to agricultural purposes. Source: OMBI, CAO 2009
The Greenbelt … Both the Escarpment Plan and the Ontario Greenbelt Plan (2005) identify areas not suitable for urban growth and a majority of Niagara's land base is classified as Prime Agricultural Land. As the world's largest greenbelt at 1.8 million acres of working countryside, it spans across the Greater Golden Horseshoe and extends to the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. Source: http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/Page187.aspx
It has been advocated that creating land use policy such as the Greenbelt needs to be balanced with the existence of a framework that allows for families whose farm properties have been included in the Greenbelt to make a reasonable living growing crops and being stewards of the land.
[pull_quote align="right"]Agriculture and Food: in 2060 Niagara will have an abundance of agricultural land that produces quality products, supports a strong farming community, fosters a unique sense of identity, and an agricultural sector that continues to be an important economic driver.[/pull_quote]Farms… Niagara Region is home to over 1,500 farms; most are less than 52 hectares in size, with an average size of 35 hectares. The sales per farm are nearly 32% above the provincial average with fruit production being the dominant agricultural economic activity in Niagara. Based on the 2006 Farm Census, Niagara's farms reported a total of just over 23,000 hectares of tender fruit. With two-thirds of Ontario's tender fruit orchards located in the Niagara region, these orchards account for the majority of the province's peaches, cherries, pears, plums, prunes and grapes. In addition to tender fruit, Niagara grows soybeans, vegetables and other crops. Floriculture and greenhouse crops are the leading crop. A Niagara Agricultural Impact Study was developed in 2003 (update in 2010). Niagara has dairy and beef farms and one of the highest concentrations of poultry farms in Canada.

Niagara Parks Commission … Niagara is also home to the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens and School of Horticulture which was established in 1936 in Niagara Falls, Ontario and remains Canada's only residential school for Horticulture studies.
Niagara College … In 2000, the Niagara on the Lake campus of Niagara College established the Winery and Viticulture Technician program which was the first of its kind in Canada. Presently located amidst 38 acres of College vineyards, the teaching winery allows the students to have immediate access to a hands-on experience in a real-time working environment to produce award winning wines. In the fall of 2008, Niagara College has opened doors to the new post graduate certificate program in Wine Business Management which is also the first and only Wine Business Program in Canada.
Brock University … has a Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Program (CCOVI) which was developed in partnership with the Grape Growers of Ontario and the Wine Council of Ontario in 1996. CCOVI is an internationally recognized research institute focused on research priorities of the Canadian grape and wine industry and the continuing educational and outreach services needs of that community. The vision of CCOVI is to be Canada's centre of excellence with respect to the generation and dissemination of knowledge on cool climate viticulture, oenology, wine business, policy, wine tourism, wine culture and policy issues. CCOVI provides continuing education, professional development opportunities and outreach services for the grape and wine community and the community at large, to facilitate the advancement of the industry.
Vineland Research and Innovation Centre … located on a site gifted by Moses a Rittenhouse in 1906 to benefit the tender fruit and grape sectors and more recently the wine and greenhouse industries as "An internationally recognized centre of horticultural research and innovation excellence and a force in the delivery of horticulture technology."

You may recognize Samantha DeBianchi from Bravo's 'Million Dollar Listing Miami'. But did you know she's the founder and real estate maven behind DeBianchi Real Estate, one of Florida's top real estate firms? Her massive success comes down to two things: a work ethic ingrained in her since childhood, and an relentless determination to take the bad and make it an opportunity to grow and succeed.
My first job ever was… Working for my dad. I literally had to work for my dad since the day I was born. But that instilled an immediate hustle. My father paid me and made me understand the value of a dollar and how you can create your own life when you work hard.
I decided to be an entrepreneur because… I knew from a very young age I couldn't "work" for anyone else. I had my own ideas, my own plans and I knew I couldn't answer to anyone but myself.
My background prepared me for my career by… Teaching me that the word "no" just meant I needed to try harder.
My proudest accomplishment is… Quitting everything and starting my own business (and never turning back).
My boldest move to date was… Same as above — quitting everything and starting my own business (and never turning back).
I surprise people when I tell them… I'm extremely shy outside of the business world.
My best advice to people starting out in business is… Put blinders on. Don't look at what anyone else is doing. Focus on your craft, seek out your goal, and go after it.
My best advice from a mentor was… Be yourself. As simple as that sounds, it's rare that people are their real selves. I'm fortunate that being myself is what's built me an empire.
My biggest setback was…. Having a rare brain tumour called Cushing's Disease. It made me look different (overweight, excess hair on face, etc.) and feel different (depression, etc.), so my middle school and high school years were very tough for me as I was heavily bullied by other kids. It wasn't pleasant but it actually helped mould me into the person I am today. It made me stronger, more resilient and taught me to not listen to people who didn't support me or believe in me.
I overcame it by… Realizing early on that I had two choices: Succumb to the teasing and crawl up in a hole and be really upset about it. Or, I could ignore them, go about my business and be the person I was meant to be. I chose the second option.
Being a woman in real estate is… Not easy. I'm constantly having to "prove myself" but I come prepared every time.
Work/life balance is… Overrated. There's no magic recipe with how much you should work and how much you should do anything else. I enjoy work — the hustle, the grind, and everything in between. When I want to work, I work and when I want to play, I play. Being able to do what I want, when I want is balance to me.
If you googled me, you still wouldn't know… My real age. For some reason, Google has me younger than I am (no complaints). I am 32.
I stay inspired by… Traveling the world. Seeing different cultures, different ways of life, and bringing back ideas and creativity from my explorations.
The future excites me because… Anything is possible when you focus, visualize, work your tail off, and execute your thoughts and goals. The fact that I can do anything I put my mind to excites me. I try to live as limitless as possible.
My next step is… Growing my brand of real estate, business and lifestyle to the next level.
What's next… I never liked the question of "where do you see yourself in 5 years". You can't predict tomorrow, let alone the future. Success isn't something you should think about for "the future" but rather a mindset of the present. If you think you are successful, you will in fact become it. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,869 |
I have a good friend, Kyra Quinn who lives in Pennsylvania, but for a short time a couple years ago lived in Charlotte, NC. In need of an orthopedic doctor and having just arrived in town and with no regular physician to refer her, she began looking through the greater Charlotte area yellow pages and stumbled onto a familiar name and photo.
There in full color was an ad for the Metrolina Orthopaedic Sports & Medicine Clinic. Featured in the ad was a familiar face and name - - Dr. Joseph Estwanik, M.D.
Sound familiar to any of you old school wrestling fans from the mid-to-late 1980s? Dr. Joseph Estwanik was the orthopedic doctor who appeared on television treating Dusty Rhodes in 1985 for the ankle injury he suffered at the hands of Ric Flair and the Andersons in the lead up to Starrcade '85. He reappeared four years later treating Ric Flair for an injured neck after Terry Funk piledrove him into a ringside table in Nashville, TN at Wrestle War '89.
She snapped a photo of the ad with her cellphone camera and texted it to me. We laughed and had a nice trip down NWA memory-lane over that, but for different reasons. You see, Kyra was a young and impressionable wrestling fan when that segment with David Crockett and Dr. Estwanik aired two days before her 9th birthday. She believed! And right off the bat she believed Dr. Estwanik was a real doctor. I mean, he's sitting there with David Crockett and David Crockett says he is, right? I, on the other hand, was much older, in my mid-20s when that angle took place. I was already somewhat of a jaded cynic, and just loved that Flair and the Andersons had beat the crap out of Dusty Rhodes.
So her reaction nearly 30 years later was something like, "Wow, isn't it cool Dr. Estwanik is still practicing in Charlotte after all these years?" while my reaction was "Holy crap, you mean there really is a Dr. Estwanik??"
Yes Virginia, there really is a Dr. Estwanik. Honestly, I never really thought that there was a REAL Dr. Estwanik because...well, it was wrestling, and I just figured Dusty's ankle wasn't really hurt and it was all just the American Dream's big plan to build sympathy for his dramatic John Wayne-like return, right?
So it was very cool indeed to learn that there was a real Dr. Joseph Estwanik and cooler still to know he is still practicing orthopedic sports medicine and rehabilitation in a very successful practice in the Queen City.
As part of a series of features next week to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Starrcade '85, Kyra actually spoke recently with Dr. Estwanik and will share with us some of that conversation, including his insight and great respect for the wrestlers and the wrestling business.
In the mean time, check out Kyra's earlier article written for the Gateway, "My Secret Charlotte", on her short time in Charlotte and the wrestling memories it rekindled for her. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,870 |
Best friends Horace, Morris, and Dolores do everything together. So when they try out for the chorus and Dolores (who sings notes no one has ever heard before) doesn't get in, she feels hurt and angry and -- not like Dolores at all -- sorry for herself. But mostly she feels lonely, with her friends too busy rehearsing to have time to share adventures with her. So Dolores does what she does best and takes matters into her own hands. But can she prove to Moustro Provolone that there's a place for every kind of voice in the chorus? | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,871 |

23415 Moorefield Road is a $1,710,000 home on a 171.00 acre lot located in Mission, TX.
171 Acres available outside city limits, but still close to town. Great investment opportunity. This property has plenty of potential, indefinite possibilities of opportunity. This land can be developed for residential subdivisions, farming, commercial property, ranches and much more. Property is fenced and not being used for any specific purpose, mainly brush and pasture. Land is surrounded by ranches and homes on acreage. Call us for more information, make an offer.
I am interested in 23415 Moorefield Road, Mission, TX 78572. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,873 |

Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last Stand was a 2013 comic book crossover, set within the Ultimate Marvel imprint.
Editorial history
Cataclysm is a sequel to the Age of Ultron crossover, set in the mainstream Marvel Universe. At the end of that story, Galactus is displaced to the Ultimate Marvel universe. Unlike the Ultimate Galactus Trilogy, this is the character from the mainstream universe, and not a reimagination. The story was published in two parts, "Hunger", set in space, and "The Ultimates' Last Stand", set in Earth. The second part has tie-ins with the three ongoing Ultimate Marvel comics at the time, Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, Ultimate Comics: X-Men and Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates. The "Survive!" one-shot narrates the aftermath of the event. After the event, the Ultimates and X-Men comics were closed. They were replaced by the "All-New Ultimates" (with a complete new cast of characters) and "Ultimate FF". The Spider-Man comic was renamed as "Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man".
The "Hunger" miniseries was made by Leonard Kirk and Joshua Hale Fialkov, who had been working with Ultimates. Fialkov commented that he was a big fan of Galactus and his creator, Jack Kirby. He pointed that the Ultimate Marvel imprint had always tried to keep the superhero fantasy as grounded as possible, and that he intended to use Galactus to place the characters into a complete unexpected crisis: "What I hope comes across is the sense of wonder that's being brought into the Ultimate Universe... with the smart, modern tone Brian has established." Hunger explored the cosmic characters of the Ultimate Universe, in particular Rick Jones: "Brian created a unique and interesting take on Rick Jones that's really smart and fun. He's like Spider-Man taken to the extreme... with great power comes great responsibility, but he just wants to have fun and be normal." He also commented that he had been checking all the recent events at the Ultimate imprint, trying to write a cosmic story that would be unique to it and that could not take place at the mainstream universe. As the story was set in the space, "Hunger" had no tie-in comics.
There were rumors at the time that Marvel would close the Ultimate imprint, which were fueled by the name of the publication and the reunion of Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley for the main comic. Bendis and Bagley had started the imprint in 2000 with Ultimate Spider-Man. When asked about those rumors, editor Mark Paniccia simply replied: "Let me say this, there are some stunning resolutions coming across all the titles!" Bendis dismissed it as "unsubstantiated rumors" at his Tumblr account.
Plot
Galactus is displaced into the Ultimate Marvel universe. When he crosses the portal, the Gah Lak Tus swarm senses his energies, and submits to him. He decimates the Kree and the Chitauri alien races, and he is opposed by Captain Mar-Vell, Rick Jones (with powers granted by the Watchers) and Silver Surfer. Mar-Vell dies, attacked by the swarm, but Rick Jones takes his suit and activates a bomb that destroys it. Rick Jones and the remains of the swarm fall into another dimension, and Galactus heads to planet earth, killing Vision in the process. Sensing the reality Galactus hails from, Vision manages to send a cryptic message to Earth, pleading for the Ultimates to ally with Reed Richards before she shuts down.
Galactus turns out to be more powerful than the Ultimates and the conventional military; realising the desperation of their situation, the Ultimates ally with the inexperienced Miles Morales, the traitorous Reed Richards and the outcast X-Men. Tony Stark discovers that he comes from an alternate reality, so Richards and Morales are sent to it to find information. Arriving on Earth 616, they sneak into the Baxter Building and retrieve information about Galactus, who that reality's Richards had defeated before. The two are discovered by Valeria Richards, who recognizes Richards as not her real father, but manage to escape.
The Ultimates' plan is set into motion: Kitty Pryde receives the Giant-man serum, so that she can destroy Galactus' machine and attack him while in giant size. They also employ Jean Grey to telepathically read Galactus' strategy, but when he senses them and attacks, Steve Rogers sacrifices himself to buy the Ultimates more time to execute their attack. While Galactus manages to seriously harm Pryde in spite of her intangibility, her sacrifice is ultimately a distraction: Richards opens a portal to the Negative Zone, intending to swallow Galactus into it where he will starve with no energy to feed on. Galactus resists the portal's pull, which threatens to tear apart reality if open too long, so Thor sacrifices himself to push Galactus inside; a reluctant Stark and Richards close the portal with Thor still inside.

Playing night crawlers isn't nearly as fun as playing Wormax.io on GameFarm.io!
Wormax is a game that's very similar to Agario. The aim of the game is to go around the map and eat small dots in order for your character to grow. Another important goal is to avoid contact with other players as failure to do so will result in your character being killed. Something interesting about Wormax that helps you achieve the goal of not touching other players is the ability to pull off a dead stop. This means that if you suddenly run into another player it's easier to avoid them. If you want to collect dots and level up quicker, then you can speed up for a limited time. The speed ups and dead stops are power-ups that of course have to recharge over time after usage. It will be more difficult at the beginning when you are controlling a smaller character as you take up a smaller surface area which means it will be harder to eat dots. Also, the larger characters can eat you a lot easier. However, if you manage to grow you'll be on your way to being great in no time! Overall this is a really exciting and fun game, and for a free game you can't ask for much more in terms of quality. If you're looking for a fun alternative to Agario, then this is for you!
Control your character with your mouse.
Use your speed and stops frequently. These are really useful power-ups that can help you at all levels.
In the beginning focus on sticking to less populated areas. You'll be smaller, so do this to avoid getting eaten by giant players.
Avoid contact with other characters. This is a very simple tip, because if you don't do so, your characters will die. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,879 |
'We Lost Our Own.' Typhoon Survivor Rebuilds Ministry
CWN082214_HD720_1493.182_1644.071
In the aftermath of typhoon Haiyan that struck the Philippines, one pastor and his wife mourned the deaths of several of their loved ones.
Pastor Dante Dolor and their four children were holding on to the beam of their ceiling hoping to survive the storm surge caused by typhoon Haiyan.
Unfortunately, the strong waves swept away their house, drowning three of their four children and 13 other family members, including Dolor's mother and sisters.
The event paralyzed their ministry as they were overtaken by grief.
"I miss my children so much. We work hard to give them a good future but all of that is gone. We served in church. It's painful because we were feeding the children and now we lost our own," Dolor said.
Nine months later, a CBN Disaster Relief (LINK) team visited them. Dolor had a new glow on her face.
That's because she and her family are once again running their feeding ministry for the children, one of the favorite activities that Pastor Dante and Dolor did with their own children.
Not only does this bring beautiful memories of their children, but feeding these children also brings healing and the opportunity to share Jesus to them.
"When I am with the children, I don't feel so lonely anymore. And I'm happy to be able to minister to them," Dolor said.
Aside from food, Dolor and her husband feed them with spiritual food.
"We teach them the Word of God because it is important for them to learn how to love God," Dolor said.
To help Dolor overcome her grief and earn some income, CBN presented her a sewing machine that she longed to have. The president of CBN Asia and Operation Blessing, Peter Kairuz was there to award the gift.
"Thank you CBN and Operation Blessing for providing the gift that I asked from God!" Dolor said.
With Dolor's new source of income, not only is she occupied with her sewing, but she has also found a new means to help more children.

The revolution in functional genomics has provided a windfall of expression, functional and protein interaction data. These have led to remarkable advances in molecular profiles for cancer, assembly of genetic regulatory hierarchies, genome-wide analysis of development and systematic searches for drug targets. The success of functional genomics has relied heavily in interdisciplinary interactions from diverse fields such as genetics, computer science, medicine and engineering. A current challenge in functional genomics is to develop analytical methods and data mining algorithms to keep up with the avalanche of data being generated. Methods are also needed to integrate data from diverse genome-wide expression profiles and to apply common themes from model organisms to human disease. Progress in holistic approaches will shed light on complex biological systems, such as cancer profiling, developmental morphogenesis, and quantitative genetics. The goal of the meeting is to integrate advances in human disease, modeling of genetic networks, quantitative trait mapping, and data mining techniques.

I look forward to your word challenge!
I assume most readers on this forum know English quite well. Here I'd like to make some comments in English on what sources or dictionaries I use to look up etymological information on words of French, Spanish, German and Italian.
By far the easiest and most user-friendly source is wiktionary.org. If you use its English version, i.e., en.wiktionary.org, the pages for many words will have an Etymology section. It's brief and yet to-the-point. In many cases, the pointers in that section will trigger a good association between the word you want to memorize and a cognate you may have learned before.
does not have etymological information. Click Deutch and on the German page, you'll see the Herkunft section.
Another web site not limited to a specific language is myetymology.com, which complements wiktionary.org in both the information provided for each word and the words it collects. But it's missing meanings of the words and there's no other useful information such as conjugation or deflection. The most inconvenient restriction is that you must enter the word in its dictionary form (verb in infinitive form e.g.), or you would not be able to find it.
is an excellent dictionary written by an extremely methodical erudite. Each word entry has clear explanation of the evolution of letter or letter combination from earlier language sources, in the strict scientific manner. About one fourth of the book at the front outlines how syllables and phonetics changed in history along a systematic and almost predictable track. Not a scholar in etymology per se, I would not sit down reading through all these pages, but instead choose to use the book, or rather, the remaining three fourths' of the book, as a reference only. The systematic summary of French etymology, however, can be occasionally consulted to harden the understanding or memory of such changes.
Take "honneur" as an example. It says "from L. [i.e. Latin] honorem. For -orem = -eur see sec. 227". If you need to study this Latin -orem to French -eur change, just go to Rule 227 at the front and read up on it. The author painstakingly created 284 rules about spelling change from various languages into French, each based on certain examples, turning etymology from hazard guess into a real science.
presents him as a top-notch hyper-polyglot conversant with all major European languages, plus Latin, ancient Greek, Old Icelandic, Old English, Gothic, Old Teutonic, Sanscrit and many others.
The book, however, is not as readable as other etymological dictionaries are to a non-professional in philology, partly because headwords are in Faktur typeface and because some pages are no longer clearly legible. But more importantly, the author's writing style is such that, let me guess, his intended readers should be at least half as knowledgeable as he is. Convoluted and more detailed than digestable by an amateur or dilettante, each entry should be read through and quickly scanned again to get the main points, discarding the "Who cares?" part. Fortunately, wiktionary.org has already done this work for us, as many entries on the web site have extractd the essential part out of Mr. Kluge's dictionary.
One little disppointment at the dictionary is that the words collected are far from comprehensive. There're probably less than 5000. Furthermore, many fairly common words are omitted apparently because they are a root, which is in the dictionary, with a prefix. But as we all know, some prefixes do not have a clear meaning; ver-, for instance, changes the meaning of the root so much that the word hardly has any semantic resemblance.
Wiktionary, and another good German source, the prestigious Duden dictionary, online at duden.de, more or less solve this problem. In Duden, for which there's no English translation, many words have the Herkunft section. This can be consulted conveniently from a wiktionary.org page since the latter frequently links to it.
When it comes to Spanish, here's a small mystery to me. Currently this is the most popular foreign language studied in the US (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_commonly_learned_foreign_languages_in_the_United_States, or my unique way of measurement: http://yong321.freeshell.org/english4chinese/off-topic-what-language-is-popular.html). And yet its etymological dictionaries are the least available. Not only can you not find one at any local bookstore, in spite of by far the largest quantity of the general Spanish dictionaries among all foreign language books, but I also failed to find one with expired copyright. People speaking English may be insensitized to the word origin section of the headwords in most English dictionaries, in paper form or online. How do we explain the extreme scarcity of such information of the second most popular language in America? Could it be related to relatively low level of academic learning and attention paid to it on the part of the Spanish speaking population?
Out of the very few such books I found, I bought Guido Gomez De Silva's "Breve diccionario etimológico de la lengua española", published in 2006. It has an English version, "Concise Spanish Etymological Dictionary", though at an unreasonably higher price so it's not worth it. But the description of it written by somebody on amazon.com is interesting, "another of its aims is to help students learn vocabulary, e.g., the English word 'sky' does not help English speaking persons learn the Spanish work 'cielo' but the English word 'celestial' does." The author clearly has the Spanish-learning students on his mind all the time.
Unlike the two books I talked about above, one on French and the other German, this Spanish dictionary is in its own language. So moderate reading skills in Spanish are required. Fortunately, this is a relatively easy language, and understanding etymoligical descriptions of words has a higher demand on vocabulary than on grammar and rhetoric. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,884 |
With one skein of a pretty yarn and a handful of multi-colored glass beads, this is a wonderful beginner project for working with beads. Thread all the beads onto the yarn and start stitching. The main part of the headband is just three basic stitches, and it's edged with a subtle scallop. Simple and fun! The beads add sparkle to a great, year-round accessory - it ties securely and the ties are adjustable so one size fits most adults. A perfect quick gift idea for anyone who loves a little boho style! | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,885 |
Suncheon: Korea's ecological capital
A variety of food produced from the clean area is expected to add to the pleasure of visiting Suncheon, municipal officials said, forecasting further growth in tourist arrivals in the second half. The growing number of tourists is expected to further elevate Suncheon's status as a global ecological hub and South Korea's ecological capital.
Suncheon gained international fame in 2006 when Suncheon Bay, a coastal wetland featuring wide tideland, fields of reeds, salt swamps and habitat for migratory birds, became the first Korean coastal wetland to be included in the Ramsar list of protected wetlands.
In 2018, the entire city, including Suncheon Bay and Suncheon Bay Ecological Park, was designated as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO.
Back in the 1990s, Suncheon Bay was an abandoned wetland where the Dongcheon estuary featuring vast reed fields and a variety of wetland organisms and animals was located.
The bay drew public attention in 1993 when a private developer's project to extract marine aggregates became known.
The project was halted due to objections from citizens and environmental activists wanting to preserve the bay's reed fields. Following an ecological survey in 1996, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries designated Suncheon Bay as a wetland preserve in 2003.
The hooded crane, one of the most endangered species in Korea and state-designated natural monument No. 228, was first spotted in Suncheon Bay in 1996, and as many as 2,176 hooded cranes visited the area last year alone.
With Suncheon Bay growing popular as an ecotourism destination, tourists have flocked there in increasing numbers.
The city hosted the Suncheon Bay Garden Expo and created Suncheon Bay National Garden in order to better preserve the Suncheon Bay Wetland Reserve.
Government heads of 18 areas in seven countries where Ramsar sites are located plan to hold a global conference in Suncheon from Oct. 23-25.
Seonam Temple on Mount Jogye in Suncheon was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in June last year. The temple is known for Seungseon Bridge, which is designated as National Treasure No. 400 and is said to be Korea's most beautiful arched stone bridge.
Naganeupseong Folk Village, designated historical site No. 302, is a well-preserved town castle of the Joseon Dynasty, featuring straw roof houses and daily dwellings indigenous to the southern area with kitchen areas, clay rooms and Korean-style verandas.

Marty's Musings: regular season review
By Steven Martano@SMartano Oct 4, 2016, 3:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Marty's Musings: regular season review
Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports
Welcome to 'Marty's Musings', my weekly column of numbers summarizing the past week in Major League Baseball and looking forward to this week's key matchups. I am your guide for taking an analytic look at the previous week in MLB and previewing some of this week's key matchups, identifying numbers that are generally not found in a standard box score.
In this week's edition, we celebrate the best player in baseball and mourn his far too early October departure, look at the awfulness of the Reds pitchers, and put some numbers behind the return of the longball.
5 - Years in a row that Mike Trout led the Majors in fWAR. Trout posted a 9.4 fWAR this season, following up on a 9.0 fwin season in 2015. He finished one full Win ahead of second place Kris Bryant. The last player to lead the league in WAR in five consecutive seasons was Babe Ruth. August Fagerstrom wrote about just how good Trout has been in an historical context.
1005 - Career hits for Buster Posey who went over the thousand mark on Tuesday night. Post launched number 1,000 against the Rockies at Coors Field. The Giants prepare for Wednesday night's winner-take-all wildcard game against the Mets.
4 - Earned runs given up by Zach Britton all season including only one at home. Britton is [somehow] in the Cy Young race for his exceptional performance through 67 innings. His sinker has become one of the most lethal pitches in any bullpen. The O's would be wise to get the ball to Britton as quickly as they can on Tuesday night in Toronto.
24 - Consecutive seasons of at least .500 baseball for the New York Yankees. The Yankees are just never bad. They are at worst, on the fringe of the playoffs, playing meaningful games well into September. Despite selling seemingly every player on their roster over the age of 25, New York was still alive just a few weeks ago (until the Red Sox soul-crushingly beat them four-straight at Fenway).
0.725 - Clayton Kershaw's WHIP through 149 innings. It's a record for any MLB pitcher who threw over 100 innings. He also put up a 172:11 strikeout to walk ratio (one was an intentional base on balls). Kershaw missed a good portion of the season due to injury but should be healthy going into the playoffs.
43 - Home runs hit by Mariners journeyman Nelson Cruz. Cruz joins only Babe Ruth and Mark McGwire as the only players to hit 40+ homers in their age-33 / 34 / 35 seasons. His 4.2 fWAR was the third best of his career and so far he's already amassed 10 Wins in two seasons for the M's. Although the signing was roundly mocked last year, Cruz has been excellent for Seattle and the Mariners barely fell short of the wildcard this year.
36 - Number of one-run wins for the Rangers, who finished 36-11 in one-run games, a .765 winning percentage. While it's shy of the Brooklyn Bridegrooms .778 record, Brooklyn was only 14-4. The Rangers won the AL West and cemented the top AL playoff seed via some unlikely sequencing but they are healthy and well-positioned to make a postseason run with the AL winner having to go through Arlington.
111 - Players that hit at least 20 home runs in 2016. Last season only 64 players hit the mark. This year's list includes unlikely players such as Ryan Schrimpf, Adam Lind, Tommy Joseph, and Gary Sanchez (who hit 20 in only 229 plate appearances).
38 - Home runs for David Ortiz in his last season. He set the record for the most homers in a swan-song season, and finished the year with a 4.5 fWAR, his best mark since 2007. The Red Sox celebrated the slugger with weekend long ceremonies at Fenway and look forward to continued postseason heroics over the next few weeks.
7th - Brian Dozier's place on the all-time Twins leaderboard for home runs in a season. Unsurprisingly, Harmon Killebrew holds the top six spots (as well as eight through ten) as Dozier's career year puts him in elite company. It was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise abysmal season for the Twins.
103 - Losses for the Twins, setting another franchise record. Dozier had a great year, the rest of the team...not so much. The worst record in team history was 60-102, but this year's squad eeked out the win...er loss….at least they had Dozier and Byron Buxton.
-.05 - The combined fWAR for all Cincinnati Reds pitchers. The Reds ranked 30th well behind the 29th ranked Angels, who posted nearly six Wins. Jeff Sullivan wrote about just how bad Cincy was on the mound this season. The Reds also set the record for the most homers given up in a season at 258. The record previously was held by the 1996 Tigers at 241.

Yeah I started to understand what all these facial expression meant.
there was a feeling in my gut which told me that this person might think this and feels that.
normally i just have my mind and think about everything.. but when on mdma I have this inner voice.. this feeling in my gut.. which tells me everything. if i see somebody is angry.. it feels for me like he is angry.
its like i feel a small part of the others person emotion. also when i watch movies.. faces appear much bigger and much more the center of everything. you understand every intend behind the worlds etc.
I get better recognition of facial expressions on LSD, not so much on MDMA. But on MDMA I get extreme boost to confidence and outgoingness. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,894 |
Is Brexit Mentioned In Bible Prophecy?
In a June 23rd referendum, the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union (EU). The media labeled this British exit from the EU "Brexit." The vote surprised some of those who study bible prophecy. After all, many pointed to the EU as the revived Roman Empire of the end times. Now, after the UK's vote, some have started to doubt that. But should they? Is Brexit a step backward for bible prophecy? Does it mean the EU isn't the alliance foretold for the end times?
No. If it happens, the exit of such a large and powerful nation will weaken the EU. But it hasn't happened yet. And while some say Brexit signals the end of the EU as the revived Roman Empire, I don't think so. To me, it's yet another reason to believe some form of the EU will become that empire. Why? Let's look at what the Bible tells us about the Antichrist and the empire he will use to rule the world.
The Last Empire
The Bible says one last empire will rule Israel. It will be the last human empire on earth. Daniel says the Messiah will destroy it with His coming (Daniel 2:44). But before that happens, Daniel gives us details as to what this empire will look like. It will be a kingdom:
Of ten nations (Daniel 2:41, Daniel 7:7)
Ruling the entire world (Daniel 7:23)
From among the ancient Roman Empire (Daniel 9:26-27)
Made up of weak and strong nations (Daniel 2:42)
Of nations trying to strengthen themselves by forming alliances with each other (Daniel 2:43)
That fails to hold together or "gel," just as iron and clay don't stick together (Daniel 2:43)
Divided (Daniel 2:41)
A Global Empire
As this article is written, no empire rules the world. And that includes a global empire of ten nations or ten kings. So the EU in its present form is not the global empire foreseen by Daniel. However, it is most likely an early stage of the Antichrist's global empire. There are several reasons to believe this.
1) A Revived Roman Empire – The global empire foreseen by Daniel will be built on the ashes of the ancient Roman Empire. Why do I say this? First, the ruler of this global empire is the Antichrist. According to Daniel, the Antichrist will arise from the nation whose armies destroyed the Temple and Jerusalem in A.D. 70 (Daniel 9:26). Those armies belonged to Rome. So the global empire's ruler will come from Rome.
Second, when explaining Nebuchadnezzar's dream, Daniel describes five empires that will rule Israel before Jesus returns - Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and a ten nation alliance (Daniel 2:36-45). He describes each successive kingdom, but he makes no distinction between the fourth kingdom and the ten nation alliance (Daniel 2:40-43). In other words, the ten nation alliance will be a new form of the fourth kingdom - Rome.
Later, Daniel has another vision. This time, he sees four beasts, each representing a world power (Daniel 7). We know the fourth beast is Rome because it conquers the third beast, Greece (Daniel 7:6). But we also know it will come back. Why? Because it "will rule the whole earth" (Daniel 7:23), and it will be ruled by the Antichrist (Daniel 7:24-25). Rome neither ruled the whole earth nor was it ruled by the Antichrist. Also, this empire is yet again described as a ten nation alliance (Daniel 7:20), and the ancient Roman Empire never took the form of a ten nation alliance.
Today, the EU sits on the ashes of the ancient Roman Empire. Ancient Rome occupied nearly every part of the current EU member nations, including Italy – home to Rome itself.
2) An Alliance of Weak and Strong Nations – The global empire described by Daniel will be made up of weak and strong nations. Does this describe the EU? Yes. As of this writing, the EU contains the world's 4th, 5th, and 6th largest economies (Germany, the United Kingdom, and France). It also contains the world's 103rd, 112th, and 136th largest economies (Estonia, Iceland, and Malta).
When it comes to military spending, the EU contains the world's 4th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 18th largest militaries (the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain). Yet, it also contains the world's 80th, 87th, 91st, and 93rd (Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia).
Alone, not a single EU nation is a world power. Together, they are the world's greatest economic power. Combined, their military spending is second only to the United States. No doubt about it - the EU is a superpower. It's a revived Roman Empire made up of weak and strong nations. And this is what the Bible says will exist just before Jesus returns.
3) A Divided Alliance, Loosely Held Together – The global empire described by Daniel will be divided (Daniel 2:41). It will struggle to hold itself together, just as iron and clay struggle to hold themselves together (Daniel 2:43). Do we see this type of alliance when we look at the EU? Absolutely!
Since its inception, the EU has been an odd collection of governments, economies, currencies, and militaries. From the Schuman Declaration in 1950 to the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007, the rise of the EU has been marked by a struggle to agree on important issues. These include arguments over a single currency (the United Kingdom and Denmark opted out), disagreements over how to handle debt crises (the Greek bailouts), and disputes over open borders (the Syrian refugee crisis). Each step along the way, the EU struggled to survive.
And Brexit? Brexit is only the latest example of the EU's struggle to stay together, "just as iron and clay don't hold together." In the June vote, citizens of the UK voted to leave. Will they really leave? I don't know. Is the UK's exit mentioned in bible prophecy? No. Not directly. However, I believe Brexit serves as the latest example of the EU as a divided alliance (Daniel 2:41) - a union of weak and strong nations struggling to bond together (Daniel 2:43).
The word Brexit doesn't appear in the Bible. However, the Bible does mention a revived Roman Empire in the last days (Daniel 2:40-43, Daniel 7:23-24). It will be an empire made up of weak and strong nations (Daniel 2:42). It will be divided against itself (Daniel 2:41), and the effort of these nations to come together and strengthen themselves will be volatile and unstable (Daniel 2:43). Does this sound familiar? It should. Sounds a lot like the EU, doesn't it? It's the story of an empire born from a decades-long process marked by division, volatility, and instability. The UK vote to exit from the EU is just the latest event in a process that signals the rise of a global empire. It's yet another sign Jesus is Coming!

How to Get a Title for an Abandoned Vehicle in Iowa
by Nicole Schmoll
An abandoned vehicle, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation, is one that is left unattended on public property for more than 24 hour and which does not have current registration plates, is completely inoperable or has been impounded by police and has not been claimed within 10 days. Obtaining a title for an abandoned vehicle involves both the Iowa Department of Motor Vehicles and your local police department.
Contact your local police department to inquire if an abandoned vehicle left on public property for more than 24 hours is stolen. Locate the vehicle's VIN number and provide it to police. The VIN is usually located on the inside of the vehicle, on the inside of the driver's side door.
Wait 30 to 60 days for an owner to claim the vehicle. After determining that the vehicle is abandoned, the police will post a public notice about the vehicle, giving the owner 30 to 60 days to make a claim for it. If unclaimed, request a notice from the police department listing the vehicle's VIN and declaring that the car is abandoned.
Complete an application for Registration and Bonded Certificate of Title for a Vehicle form with the Iowa DMV to gain possession of the vehicle. Bonded certificate of titles are used when a person cannot provide proper title documents. Provide the notice of abandonment from the police department to the DMV.
Wait as the DMV determines whether an active title exists on the vehicle and gives the owner 10 days to claim the vehicle. If unclaimed, you will receive a bond paper from the DMV. Sign the bond paper and return it to the Office of Vehicle Services.
Wait for the DMV to send a bond receipt and letter to the Dept. of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Enforcement authorizing the County Treasurer to issue a title and registration for the vehicle to you. Speak with an investigator who will contact you to verify the information on your application for title is correct. Within 30 days of meeting with the investigator, take the bond receipt and authorization letter to your county treasurer's office, apply for a certificate of title, pay appropriate fees and register your vehicle.

St. Louis is an independent city in Missouri with scores of registered stock and commodities brokerage firms and investment advisory offices. With so many brokerage firms comes the potential for stockbrokers, financial advisors, and representatives who may engage in conduct which violates securities and commodities industry rules and procedures.
For example, Sheldon Harber, a former representative with the St. Louis, Missouri branch of Cambridge Investment Research, Inc., submitted an AWC to FINRA for allegedly engaging in private securities transactions without the approval of his member firm. Without admitting or denying FINRA's findings, Sheldon Jay Harber consented to the sanctions and to the findings that he participated in private securities transactions by investing and facilitating investments for other investors in a private company and failed to provide Cambridge with the required written notice. Mr. Harber and the other investors invested $435,000 in the private company. Consequently, Mr. Harber was fined $10,000 and suspended for four months from association with any FINRA member in any capacity.

Montana Frameworks & Gallery now featuring "The Abstract Fly Collection"
My "Abstract Fly Collection" is now available in the Flathead Valley. I'm happy to say that I'm now a featured artist at "The Montana Frameworks and Gallery" in Kalispell, Montana. Jake Russell will be featuring a selection of Original Canvases, Limited Edtion and Signature "Open" Edition prints on paper and giclee LTD Edition prints on canvas.
We had a great visit and I'm excited with the pieces he chose for his presentation, the work will be featured during the Holidays this year, with a Holiday Art Walk planned for Friday Dec.7th.
The Gallery has several options in price points and formats available from the Fine Art Note Cards to a couple of different prints to large format canvases.
The Gallery is easy to find, in the Heart of the Flathead Valley, on Highway 93 as it maps right through Kalispell as Main Street. Stop in and say hi to Jake and the crew and check it out.
We'll be featuring art works from my other Collections in the months ahead as well.
New Year & New Stuff!
It's always a good idea to start the new year off with new ideas and positive moves. So I've taken what I've learned in this past year, streamlined it and refined it a bit to make things with my online biz simpler and more effective.
Here's some things I learned, I wanted my new website last year to be cool, with a wiz bang Flash based format so I could have lots of slide shows and cool music and stuff. Was it cool? you bet, did it work well and help my Biz, NO, the Flash format was huge mistake, with the proliferation of smart phones, pads, notebooks and devices the flash wasn't readable by them or Google or Yahoo etc. talk about shooting myself in my foot, geeeze! So we took the basic premise of the web site back to a static format, with the help of Network Solutions, we've got our new 2012 version of www.tomhansonarts.com if you've gotta moment, you should check it out, it's nice!
One other thing you'll notice, is I removed the web store for the time being, in this format I've found using E-Bay as my web commerce site for my LTD Edition prints is the handiest and most cost effective way to go for now. I'm easy to find, just key in Tom Hanson Prints or Tom Hanson Arts, to the search and you'll go right to them, click here to see the link, E-Bay. Also, if a customer is interested in purchasing Note Cards or placing custom orders for art, they can contact me here at the studio and we can place phone orders with the major credit cards.
So much for the Biz stuff, what about new art? I've been busy in the studio and have some new pieces I'm finishing up on, pictured above is a new canvas of Giant Springs, a major landmark in my home town of Great Falls, MT.
I'm also finishing up a nice piece of Mirabeau Falls here in Spokane Valley, I'll have images of that piece in my next post.
I'd like to thank all my friends, family and customers for making 2011 such a great year, and hope that 2012 will be a terrific year for us all. Best Wishes to you all!
A thought to keep in mind for 2012, buy local, support your small businesses, support your local artists and the arts! If we don't... who will?

Until recently, I was a beauty products neophyte.
I didn't know much about serums and eye creams and was always hesitant to try new products especially on my face.
I have a combination skin type, which means that I have some oily areas (not super oily), and other dry areas. Basically it's a balance of oily and dry skin but neither is on the extreme ends for me.
For this reason, I never experiment with anything store-bought.
Not just skin-care products; I was a stranger to make-up products and their application.
Till this day I know how to apply minimum foundation, an eye liner on my lower lids and a very light dash of lipstick. I never wear mascara, eye shadows, or any highlights, or do any contouring etc.
The only time I ever wore eye shadow was during my wedding 5 years back.
Before diving into the Sephora isle, I used to try many homemade natural skincare products.
Using things straight from my kitchen was fun, cheap, and effective too!
I have tried all the homemade natural skincare concoctions below; some more than others. These remedies have been good for my combination and semi-sensitive skin, and have help fight several skin issues.
My favorite scrub always includes turmeric or honey or both.
A few drops of coconut oil (you can use whatever oil you prefer on your face – basically something light and that won't give you acne).
Mix all the ingredients above and apply on your face in circular motions. Wash you face about 10-15 minutes and pat dry it.
Honey is an antioxidant, lemon evens still and tightens your pores, sugar unclogs pores and oil prevents over-drying.
After applying this mixture, I never need to put any moisturizer because the oil does the trick! However, you can skip the oil and use your regular moisturizer if you prefer that.
Mix all the ingredients above and use a flat brush to apply it all over your face. Make it pasty and not runny so it stays on your face. Wash only when the paste dries up.
Gram flour (besan) exfoliates skin, removes tan/facial hair, and reduces oiliness. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and helps calm acne, tightens pores, and diminishes blemishes and scars. I love this mixture and use it at least once every few weeks. If you have dry skin, please skip this mixture altogether.
Mix both ingredients together and apply it on your face evenly.
This mask helps deep clean your skin, and gets rid of dead skin, and dirt giving it a fresh and glowing look.
If you want to skip yogurt, mix lemon and honey and it will give you the same result.
Mix all the ingredients well. Sugar should be fully dissolved. Apply it on your face and leave it for 10-15 minutes.
I love aloe vera gel! We have a big pot of it in the nursery and I try to use it as often as possible. Aloe vera is an anti-inflammatory, and is really good for scars, wrinkles, dark spots, and anti-aging.
I love using the toner. I was a habitual user in my 20s but have lessened the use in the last several years (I usually skip it when in a rush and the last several years have been hectic daily).
My favorite natural toner is rose water. I also love aloe vera gel and apply it after washing my face to even the skin's texture.
I have heard that apple cider vinegar is also good, but I have never tried vinegar or baking soda on my face ever.
Growing up my mom always applied natural coconut oil on our face. It was the only thing we ever used growing up. Due to its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and moisturizing qualities, it is a great moisturizer for your entire body, including your face as well as hair.
I used coconut oil during pregnancy because I could not stand the smell of any other product. And, it did wonders for my dry skin and hair during and after pregnancy.
To scrub dry, chapped, and peeling lips, I use sugar, coconut oil, and honey mixed together. It removes all dry skin from my lips and makes it super soft and moisturized.
I buy lipstick only to wear them once or twice, but for the most part even today, I hardly use lipstick. I love the above concoction and use Burt's Bees lip balm to moisturize it further.
Mix equal parts of the two ingredients and apply it generously in the shower. Use warm water to wash it off and enjoy soft, glowing, and cleaner skin.
So, there you have it ladies!
Despite our busy lives, I think everyone should give themselves a spa day once a week and try some homemade natural skincare products. They can be time-consuming to prepare or apply maybe, however, they are much better than department store products which we know can be harsh and packed with god-knows what kinds of chemicals.
I hope you try the above recipes and enjoy them. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,901 |
SEA WALL / A LIFE
Tom Sturridge stars in Simon Stephens's Sea Wall at the Public (photo by Joan Marcus)
The Public Theater, Newman Theater
425 Lafayette St. by Astor Pl.
Tuesday - Sunday through March 31
www.publictheater.org
The Public Theater's pairing of two one-act solo plays, Simon Stephens's Sea Wall and Nick Payne's A Life, is no mere combination of works by star British playwrights performed by a Tony nominee and an Oscar nominee, respectively. Instead, it's a powerhouse double header of intimate explorations of loss and love, of what it means to be a husband, a father, and a son, that will leave you emotionally exhausted and exhilarated. American actor Jake Gyllenhaal and English actor Tom Sturridge wanted to work together, and they ultimately decided to share an evening of one-man shows written by playwrights they felt a kinship with; Gyllenhaal was previously in Payne's If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet and Constellations, while Sturridge was in Stephens's Punk Rock and Wastwater.
As the audience is entering the Newman Theater, Sturridge walks onstage, looking more like a member of the crew. He grabs a beer from a small desk, adjusts a light, and sits at the top of a ladder, having a drink and checking his cell phone. When the audience realizes it's the star and instantly hushes, he says, "That's all right; you don't have to be quiet yet." It's a line that might not be in the script but establishes him as just one of us. A few minutes later, he turns off the lights himself and becomes Alex, starting a riveting monologue about his daughter, Lucy, his wife, Helen, and his father-in-law, a proud soldier. He wanders slowly all over Laura Jellinek's strikingly bare set, which features a piano to one side and a large brick landing in the back. Talking about photography, he advises that "if you possibly can, then take [a picture] from below the subject. It renders the subject actually oddly, what it does is it renders them not more heroic, not more god-like, oddly it renders them more human." Having been so instructed, we understand that when he climbs the ladder and walks along the higher part of the stage in the back, he's just another person, no different from anyone else. He talks about Lucy's birth, going diving with his father-in-law, the existence of God, and the surging strength of the ocean. Forty-five minutes after he begins, he turns out the lights, and intermission offers a brief chance to recover from the affecting drama we have all experienced.

Next Gyllenhaal takes the stage and turns out the lights, standing in one spotlight for nearly his entire fifty-five-minute monologue, which also deals with family. (The actual lighting designer is Peter Kaczorowski.) A Life was originally Payne's deeply personal memory about his father's illness, but he has expanded it by adding the story of the birth of his daughter, so it fits extraordinarily well with Stephens's Sea Wall. As Abe, Gyllenhaal quickly goes back and forth between his character taking care of his ailing father and getting ready for his wife to give birth to their first child. It all happens so fast that it's sometimes hard to follow the transitions, but it adds to the excitement as the tale plays out like a procedural. Payne avoids most of the traps of a clichéd life-death exchange as each part heads toward its gripping conclusion, with graphic details that will make you squirm in your seat. Like with Sturridge's Alex, Gyllenhaal's Abe is so honest and forthright, capturing every key moment, that you'll think you're seeing the events they're describing with vivid clarity, watching his father's decline and his wife's tense pregnancy as they collide toward a bittersweet ending.
There are numerous similarities between the two shows, several of which are purely coincidental; both include lines about aging, skin cracking, the television show ER, three generations of family, and holes in the body, real and metaphorical. Director Carrie Cracknell (A Doll's House, The Deep Blue Sea) skillfully allows them to intertwine ever so subtly with deft touches that pack a terrific one-two punch. Early in A Life, Gyllenhaal says something that zeroes in on many aspects of each play: "I remember reading somewhere or maybe someone telling me about this idea that there are three kinds of deaths. . . . The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when we bury the body, or I guess set it on fire. And the third is the moment, sometime way in the future, when our names are said, spoken aloud, for the very last time. I'm thinking to myself but I don't say it, I wonder who's gonna say our child's name for the last time?" Gyllenhaal (Sunday in the Park with George, Brokeback Mountain) and Sturridge (Orphans, 1984) might not be acting face-to-face onstage, but the characters and the actors' individual performances relate organically to each other; they rehearsed together to make it all feel cohesive and tried out many variations in previews, and the actors still make minor adjustments every night depending on audience reaction. Sea Wall flows beautifully into A Life, as if Stephens (Heisenberg, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) and Payne (Elegy, Incognito) had collaborated extensively from start to finish, which is not the case, but Cracknell, Sturridge, and Gyllenhaal transform them into one interconnected piece that deals with some very difficult yet compelling topics.

Q: android - widget help I've recently trying to practice making a battery widget that shows the current battery status.
I've typed the source code :
The java file :
package cam.widget.batterywiz;

import android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.widget.RemoteViews;
public class batwiz extends AppWidgetProvider {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onUpdate (Context c, AppWidgetManager awm, int[] id) {
c.startService(new Intent (c, UpdateService.class));
}
public static class UpdateService extends Service {
public void onStart (Intent intent, int startId) {
RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews (getPackageName(), R.layout.bat);
rv.setTextViewText(R.id.battery, "80%");
ComponentName thiswidget = new ComponentName (this, batwiz.class);
AppWidgetManager m = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this);
m.updateAppWidget(thiswidget, rv);
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}
}

</receiver>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
</manifest>
can you guys try to figure out my mistake ??
because in my emulator it says "problem loading widget"
THX for the help..
A: The problem is in your manifest file, it says @xml/bat.
And your provider info should be in your /res/xml folder.
Also, you'll need to change your RemoteViews creation to
RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews (getPackageName(), R.layout.bat2);,
and ImageViews don't have a SetText method.
EDIT:
changes
RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews (getPackageName(), R.layout.bat2);
android:resource="@xml/bat" />
(and move bat.xml from layout/ to xml/)
rv.setTextViewText(R.id.battery, "80%");
This will not work, ImageView is not a child of TextView and so it doesn't have a SetText method.

PML-N chief in Pakistan due to BB
Our Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD - Information Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan on Wednesday asked PML(N) President Nawaz Sharif not to unleash a covert war in Sindh province in disguise of sympathising the people of flood-hit areas. Addressing a press conference, the minister further asked the PML(N) leadership to come up with political dialogue rather adopting character assassination. The character assassination of the symbol of the Federation could destabilise the democratic process in the country. "The credit goes to PPP leadership (Benazir Bhutto) to make possible his return from exile. He should be obliged," she said, urging the Nawaz Sharif to prove him a patriot and avoid politics of allegations. She said that PPP leadership always believed in resolving the issues of masses. "In an attempt to get support of flood-affected people Sharif was shedding crocodile tears," the minister said, adding that despite making covert political attacks Nawaz Sharif should make political move which would be welcomed by the PPP. She said that there should be respect of mandate of political parties. "Who are targeting PPP leadership have actually entered a blind alley. Actually they are confused. They should avoid such politics and heal the wounds of flood affectees," she added. The minister further said that incumbent government did not file any case against any politician; rather the government had tolerated its political opponents. "No one should indulge in distorting the image of any individual, as political forces should resolve issues with dialogues. Our leadership has asked us to remain silent and we are keeping mum but we can not remain silence in such circumstance when our leadership comes under attack," she added. To a question about 'Go Zardari Go campaign', Firdous Ashiq said that it was not new plan of PML(N), as they always wished to remain in government in democratic setup. "It is responsibility of the information ministry to respond the undue criticism on the President and PM," she added. Criticising the comments "Dako Raj", she said that leadership of PML(N) should concentrate on real issues and try to provide relief to the victims of flood-hit areas. When asked about possible reshuffle in the federal cabinet, she said that it was prerogative of the leadership to change portfolios. "We will welcome any kind of decision from leadership and question of such possible change is a piece of news for me," she added. To yet another question about the boycott by parliamentarians in protest to the convening of the meetings of the standing committees of defence in the GHQ, she said that it was prerogative of the Chairman of the committee to decide the venue of any meeting. Talking about relief activities, she said that 14 districts of Sindh had been declared calamity-hit areas and in this regard the federal government and Sindh governments were making all out efforts. She said that President Asif Ali Zardari had stayed in Sindh for nine days and he himself had taken several meetings to help the affectees. She said till now, 13 videoconferences meetings have held so far to help the victims and oversee the relief efforts. She said the President held an important meeting with NDMA Chairman, Chief Secretary Sindh and other to evolve strategy for flood-affected people of the area. National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) had apprised the meeting that over 300,000 tents, over three million ration packs of 18-kg each, over 200,000 mosquito nets, plastic sheets, blankets and other necessary items have been distributed among affectees. She said that 39,000 Pakistan Cards had been distributed among the affectees and initially 1.7 million affected families are going to be provided with Rs 10,000 and for the purpose, Rs 17 billion would be needed.

I don't see the problem with "adieu". Here's why: it literally means "with God" and is used to mean "go with God". No English word properly carries this meaning.

It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1926 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

<description>TSPS data viewer</description>
In application.properties I have:
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp
server.servlet.path=/DataViewer
My main class is:
package com.clarivate.dataviewer;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;
@SpringBootApplication
public class DvMain extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
static Logger logger = LogManager.getRootLogger();
public static void main(String[] args) {
logger.debug("DS1A in main()");
SpringApplication.run(DvMain.class, args);
logger.info("DS1C finished.");
}
//@Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) {
return builder.sources(DvMain.class);
}
}
My MainController.java has:
@GetMapping("/tspsPatentSearch")
public String tspsPatentSearch(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("tspsPatent", new TspsPatent());
return "tspsPatentSearch";
}
The war file unpacks fine and there are no errors. In catalina.out we have:
2018-10-04 12:09:09.954 INFO 12950 --- [ main] s.w.s.m.m.a.RequestMappingHandlerMapping : Mapped "{[/tspsPatentSearch],methods=[POST]}" onto public java.lang.String com.clarivate.dataviewer.controller.MainController.tspsPatentSearch(com.clarivate.dataviewer.model.TspsPatent,org.springframework.ui.Model,org.springframework.validation.BindingResult)
and no errors. I've tried this ie my package structure is correct and this ie my jsp's are in the correct location (data_viewer\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\jsp)
and i'm now running short of ideas. Any help much appreciated
Edit: If I copy tspsPatentSearch.jsp into the war file top directory then tomcat finds it. So it looks like tomcat is ignoring:
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/jsp/
or not finding application.properties at all.
A: Add this to your application.properties:
server.servlet.contextPath=/
I've taken your sample code and, assuming you annotated your MainController simply as @Controller, put a deployment together. I changed a few things around, but I believe this was the bit that did it. I haven't been able to find any references explaining why it might be required by Tomcat, but I intend to keep looking. I'll update you if I find anything.
Edit:
I noticed some duplicate logging in Spring 2.0.2 related to this issue: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/13470
The problem appeared fixed in 2.0.4 therefore I upgraded.
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.0.4.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
Additionally, I removed the server.servlet.contextPath=/ entry and tada I still can reach the Hello World jsp I set up. If upgrading is possible for you, maybe you could try that before adding something to application.properties which could be considered duplicated functionality. At least I can promise you a better logging experience.
Edit #2:
No smoking gun, so far, but these (from 2.0.4) could be related:
Provide a consistent way to discover the primary DispatcherServlet's path
Dispatcher servlets with a custom servlet name are not found by the mappings endpoint
Nothing looked likely on a surface scan of 2.0.3. I'm going to give it a rest for now and give you a chance to try some stuff. Good luck!
Edit #3:
I'm sorry to continue suggesting you switch environment stuff around, but one difference I noted between what I tested and what you're working with is that you seem to be using Tomcat-9.0.0.M20 where as I was testing with 9.0.12.
Whether you want to upgrade or not, a few things to note and/or do:
1) Update your question with what you've got now if it's different than before. Include the server.servlet.contextPath=/ in your application.properties just so anyone else looking can see what you've done.
2) The exclusion you have for spring-boot-starter-tomcat under spring-boot-starter-web doesn't appear to do anything - you can verify by comparing the output from running mvn dependency:tree before and after removal.
3) I'm not sure that your spring-web dependency is needed either, as that's brought in by default under the spring-boot-starter.
4) Now to your output. Spring Boot is coming up (note the banner) and your classes are being found and acted upon.

And I do indeed note the mapping to /error that's returned for your request at 09:32:11.
I find this strange:

And it's different in DS.log:
2018-10-12 08:36:56.136 DEBUG 6992 --- [nio-8081-exec-1] o.s.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet : DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcherServlet' processing GET request for [/DataViewer /error]
Specifically /DataViewer/DataViewer/error - have you tried requesting http://localhost:8081/DataViewer/DataViewer/tspsPatentSearch
In general this appears as though everything is coming up but there is a misconfiguration somewhere that isn't allowing a request to map to the handler.
A: To confirm.
Tomcat adds the war file name to the end point, so if we create DataViewerX.war and set :
server.servlet.path=/DataViewer
then the end point when running on an external tomcat is:
myServer.com/DataViewerX/DataViewer/tspsPatentSearch
but when we run on Eclispe, using the source code, then the end point is:
http://localhost:8081/DataViewer/tspsPatentSearch
which is a bit annoying but not a major problem. A way round this is to call the war file ROOT.war, then tomcat ignores the war file name and the 2 end points are the same, but I have multiple war files in the webapps dir so this solution isn't acceptable for me.
If anyone know's a way to allow the 2 end points to be the same then please say so, but it's not that important.

It also wasn't long ago that we heard about Sidney Crosby's astounding recovery thanks to chiropractic treatment. Even further back, during the 1997 Skydome race against Michael Johnson in Toronto, Donovan Bailey received treatment from his chiropractor just minutes before sprinting to a first place finish that maintained his title as the world's fastest man for three more years. On an even larger scale, the 2010 Winter Olympics were proud to be the first to fully integrate chiropractic into host medical services. Even with this recent success, chiropractic doctors were already working directly with sports teams and Olympic athletes decades before the Vancouver Games.
History has shown us that chiropractic is widely recognized in the athletic arena. Professional sports teams understand the importance of retaining a team chiropractor who can attend to players on the sidelines during games. The list of examples is endless (golf pros, MMA fighters, hockey players, extreme snowboarders, etc.). Whether an athlete is on a team or participating in an individual sport, chiropractic has probably played a role in their athletic development. There is a staggering amount of evidence and research that supports the effectiveness of chiropractic, but it is even more telling to note just how many athletes depend on chiropractors to keep them in the game.
Athletes are backed by healthcare teams that consist of several different medical professionals and more often than not include a chiropractor or two. This team approach is key to the athlete's well-being and efficiency in their sport. As such, athletes receive some of the best health care available from a wide range of qualified providers.
Having a chiropractic doctor as part of the healthcare team is even more important when you consider the forces and stresses athletes subject themselves to. Their bodies are pushed to the limit which means they must be in peak physical condition at all times. Training and performing at this level may cause the athlete to be more susceptible to injury. Some of the demands of the sport may also be unnatural to the human body, say for example, taking strides while skating, which can pose increased risk. Let's not forget environmental hazards where athletes compete: a slippery field, a hard running surface, high altitudes or blistering heat just to name a few. By working with coaches and athletes themselves, chiropractic doctors can recommend specific exercises and techniques to promote quality movement specific to their sport and help mitigate the risk of injury.
The truth is chiropractors are well positioned to work with athletes. Musculoskeletal and neurological function forms the core of a chiropractic doctor's scope of practice. Biomechanics, physiology and biochemistry are just a few of the topics chiropractic students will study during their 7-8 year education. In conjunction with the expertise offered by other health professions, the athlete is at the centre of care and is able to take advantage of multiple perspectives.
Of course, not all of us are pro athletes, but many of us still receive the benefit of chiropractic care. Approximately 80% of Canadians will experience a spine or spine related problem and that's not just the high performance types. The one thing we do have in common is that we all have a back, something all chiropractors understand very well. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,915 |

Q: Order hierarchy members by natural order I have a SSAS cube with the following dimensions:
Time
DayName <- Hierarchy
Item
Description <- Hierarchy
In the Measures dimension I have a measure for the LostAmount.
I want to query the cube so that I can get the sum of lost amount per week day. The following query works:
select
except(Time.DayName.members, {Time.DayName.[All]}) on 0,
except(Item.Description.members, {Item.Description.All}) on 1
from Cube
But when returning the results the order of columns is not the natural order of week days (i.e. the order of columns is Friday, Monday, Sunday etc).
How can I have the result columns in the natural order of week days i.e. Monday, Tuesday etc.?
A: If you look at your screenshot, the days in the Time.DayName level are being sorted in natural order: it's the alphabetical order of the member names.
There's no way that SSAS can "know" what the order you want is. I'd suggest adding a Key column to this dimension, numbering the days in the order you want, and changing the dimension attribute's OrderBy property to Key rather than Name. (Perhaps you already do have a key: but OrderBy=Name will naturally order the members by their name).
Addition: There is a dimension attribute Type property in SSAS, which can be set to "Day of Week" - but I've never used it, and don't know whether it would correctly detect that your member names are the names of weekdays. Or whether it will order your week starting on the "right" day that you want to start your week from. You could try setting it and seeing what happens.
A: While it's definitely better to change the cube structure, sometimes it's not a feasible option. In such cases, it has to be handled inside MDX code(which is slower). Below is one way.
WITH
MEMBER measures.weekdaynumber AS
CASE Time.DayName.CURRENTMEMBER
WHEN "Monday" THEN 1
WHEN "Tuesday" THEN 2
WHEN "Wednesday" THEN 3
WHEN "Thursday" THEN 4
WHEN "Friday" THEN 5
WHEN "Saturday" THEN 6
WHEN "Sunday" THEN 7
END
SELECT
Order
(
Except
(
Time.DayName.MEMBERS
,{Time.DayName.[All]}
)
,Measures.weekdaynumber
) ON 0
,Except
(
[Item].[Description].MEMBERS
,{[Item].[Description].[All]}
) ON 1
FROM [Cube];
A: I have found a workaround for the ordering issue by defining additional members on the Measures dimension and outputting them in the desired order:
with
member Measures.Monday as
sum(Time.DayName.&[Monday], Measures.LostValue)
member Measures.Tuesday as
sum(Time.DayName.&[Tuesday], Measures.LostValue)
member Measures.Wednesday as
sum(Time.DayName.&[Wednesday], Measures.LostValue)
member Measures.Thursday as
sum(Time.DayName.&[Thursday], Measures.LostValue)
member Measures.Friday as
sum(Time.DayName.&[Friday], Measures.LostValue)
member Measures.Saturday as
sum(Time.DayName.&[Saturday], Measures.LostValue)
member Measures.Sunday as
sum(Time.DayName.&[Sunday], Measures.LostValue)
select
{
Measures.Monday,
Measures.Tuesday,
Measures.Wednesday,
Measures.Thursday,
Measures.Friday,
Measures.Saturday,
Measures.Sunday
} on 0,
except(Item.Description.members, {Item.Description.[All]}) on 1

'We Must Keep Reforming': EU Parliament Marks 70th Anniversary
The European Parliament may not be perfect but should keep pushing to reform and strengthen its democracy while celebrating its diversity, European leaders said at a ceremony to mark the institution's 70th anniversary.
Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, kicked off the commemoration of the creation of the Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1952 by stressing it has since evolved into "the only directly elected multilingual, multi-party, transnational parliament in the world."
"I am not here to say that we are perfect. We are not," she told her fellow MEPs and European Commissioners who had convened in the French city. "Our process is sometimes frustrating, progress is not always fast enough or deep enough or easy enough. We must keep reforming. We must keep pushing for positive change, day in and day out," she said.
"But I am proud of our achievements as our way of being a beacon of the defence of democracy, of the way that we have never been indifferent." The actual anniversary was on September 10 but a number of commemorative events are scheduled through next summer to mark the occasion. When it was first created, it was a consultative assembly made up of 78 appointed parliamentarians drawn from the national parliaments of the six member states: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
It got its actual name in 1962 with the first direct elections held in 1979. Now, it is the EU's law-making body, with 705 MEPs hailing from 27 member states. "It was no coincidence that the EU flag was raised over Kherson after so many months of occupation. It is because it symbolises hope, courage and belief. This is the legacy of our Europe. The legacy of this House. The legacy of the last 70 years," Metsola added.

Regional stadium development
Stadiums and sports grounds
The development of Casement Park, Windsor Park and Ravenhill Stadium in conjunction with the IFA, Ulster Rugby and the Gaelic Athletic Association.
Examination of options
In conjunction with the Governing Bodies of the three major ball sports in Northern Ireland - the IFA, Ulster Rugby and the Gaelic Athletic Association - consultants were commissioned by the Department/Sport NI to complete an Outline Business Case (OBC) to examine the sports' stadium options (and other options) for meeting their long-term needs.
The preferred options arising from the OBC have been accepted i.e, the IFA will redevelop Windsor Park, Belfast; the GAA will build a new stadium at Casement Park, Belfast and Ulster Rugby will redevelop its grounds at Ravenhill, Belfast.
The Northern Ireland Executive has endorsed a funding package of up to £110 million over the next four years for this purpose. The Governing Bodies are now working with the Department to take forward the practical requirements (eg, planning) of developing the three stadiums.

New data highlights the need for reform, says UK civil service chief
By Matt Ross on 23/01/2019
Manzoni: civil service is trying to do too much (Image courtesy: Institute for Government).
Brexit increases the pressure on the UK civil service to reform its operations and processes, Civil Service Chief Executive John Manzoni said yesterday, in comments that revealed the difficulty of making plans when the government has not won Parliamentary support for its chosen exit deal.
Manzoni has consistently said that the civil service is "doing 30% too much to do it all well," he noted. "And we're certainly trying to do much if we try and add on Brexit. If I think through what's important right now, right in front of us is delivering a good Brexit. Take your pick as to what that looks like – but delivering a good one remains very important."
Asked how long it will take to prepare for Brexit, Manzoni replied that he'd "steal Jon Thompson" – the HM Revenue & Customs Chief Executive, who last November repeatedly told the Treasury select committee that a two-year project to build new border controls can only begin when the government has determined which systems will be required. "From the moment we decide exactly what border we want, it will take several years to put it in place," Manzoni said.
Projecting ahead
The civil service's corporate head was speaking at the launch of Whitehall Monitor 2019: an annual analysis of the UK civil service's size, shape and performance, produced by think tank the Institute for Government (IfG). Even including the potential two-year extension of the planned transition period, noted the IfG's Head of Data and Transparency Gavin Freeguard, the four-year timescale for delivery is far shorter than for many much smaller government projects – with the Olympics, automatic pensions enrolment and Universal Credit benefits reforms all taking over ten years.
The Whitehall Monitor also reveals a steady slide in delivery confidence over government's major projects, which are assessed on a 'traffic light' system by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority. Excluding Brexit-related projects, Freeguard said, the proportion awarded a green or amber/green rating has fallen from nearly half to about a fifth since 2013, whilst those given red or amber/red scores has grown from less than 20% to 36%.
Picking out a selection of the 100+ metrics in the Monitor, Freeguard highlighted the extraordinary rate of ministerial resignations under PM Theresa May. Tony Blair saw 29 ministers resign during his 10-year premiership, he pointed out, and Margaret Thatcher lost 24 in 11.5 years. But 21 ministers have quit since the 2017 general election, less than two years ago.
"Ministerial turnover can disrupt the passage of legislation, the delivery of policies and the conduct of government," the report says; and Freeguard pointed out that the government has only passed five of the Acts required for Brexit, suggesting "quite a legislative rush over the next weeks and months."
Accelerate, don't displace
Freeguard: ministerial turnover rates disrupting policy delivery (Image courtesy: Institute for Government).
The report's data, said Manzoni, emphasises the need for "many of the changes that we've been attempting to introduce: the implementation of more collaborative working; the cross-cutting structures; the functions and professionalisation. All of those things come to the fore in the current context, because Brexit is one of those events that is a complex policy problem and a delivery problem to a set timeframe, and we have to bring all that together."
Given how "thinly spread" the civil service is, he argued, it's essential that the pressures created by Brexit "accelerate those changes as opposed to displacing them, as quite frankly those changes are absolutely required to deliver a successful Brexit."
Decisions will also have to be made over prioritisation and what is "moved to the right" on the timeline, he added. "How do we balance what is pressing and urgent, and make some space for the other things that are happening?"
Laying down career paths
To build the skills it needs, said Manzoni, the civil service is creating career paths through government – particularly around the specialist professions. "The next generation of civil service leaders, I believe, will have had a different career path from the ones we see today," he said. But this is a work in progress, demanding "quite a lot of rewiring of the structures so that a young civil servant can come in and build a career."
Many of those future leaders, he added, may have spent periods outside the civil service. "We should be absolutely fine with people going out for a bit, because I know they'll come back," he said. "That's how the world works, it's what the outside world looks like – but it's not what the civil service looks like."
As the specialist functions expand their role in developing and managing civil servants, said Manzoni, the emergence of a "matrix structure" built around them will need to be reconciled with the traditional, vertical organisation of the departments. "One of the evolutions that Mark [Sedwill, the Cabinet Secretary] and I are discussing is how do we reflect in the governance structures of the civil service itself the fact that we have now have a matrix structure across the civil service," he concluded. "We haven't actually changed the structures of the civil service to reflect that matrix structure, to the point of putting functional leads on an accountable board" – one that would combine departmental and functional leaders.
John Manzoni will be speaking on 28 February at Global Government Forum's Innovation 2019 event: an international conference on civil service innovation, run in association with the Cabinet Office. The event is free of charge to public servants from around the world: more details at https://innovation.globalgovernmentforum.com/

EU report warns of AI risks to human rights
Good luck bringing specialists back in given current pay and rewards. Likewise a matrix structure given how pay is tied to vertical position.
Since the GFC in 2008 successive governments have used austerity measures as the excuse for reducing the size of department budgets by 20-25% in every spending round (4 years). This has been achieved by drastic cuts in both the numbers of civil servants and their terms of conditions including pay, leave, pension entitlements etc. Tier 1 & 2 positions in departments were filled in many instances by individuals on fixed term contracts on double the senior civil service rates for the roles. If the post was filled internally the civil servant was awarded a paltry 6% pay increase…. no wonder so many left public service. And now the Head of the Civil Service is saying how important that civil servants are in delivering Brexit and core services and that we need more to deliver government priorities…….where was all this concern and support over the last 10 years..,, And people don't want to work in the public service – go figure….shameful leadership….lions led by donkeys comes to mind….

Dynamo center back Geoff Cameron on Thursday took a major step toward his dream of playing in Europe when U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann named him to the squad that will face Italy on Wednesday.
Cameron, 26, who has made three appearances for the national team, has earned five calls to national team camps. But this one is his first with a squad that could generally be considered America's A team.
Cameron, the L.A. Galaxy's Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle, and Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando are the only MLS players invited to the 21-player camp. The other six defenders called up play in Europe.
After excelling in Klinsmann's camp in January with a group made up mostly of MLS stars, Cameron earned a call alongside the biggest names in U.S. soccer, including Fulham's Clint Dempsey and Everton's Tim Howard of the English Premier League.
"It's a great opportunity even to be training with those guys," Cameron said. "We'll be there in Italy for a couple of days with the guys. Obviously my goal has been from day one to play at the highest levels and be a regular with the national team. It's just one step closer. Obviously, it's kind of an honor to play with the first team."
Cameron dropped from the midfield to center back last September. Soon after that move, the Dynamo went on a nine-game unbeaten streak that didn't end until they lost to the Los Angeles Galaxy 1-0 in the MLS Cup final.
Strong, tall and fast, Cameron looks the part of a typical U.S. national team center back at 6-3, 185 pounds. He also can do wonders with the ball at his feet, cutting in and out of traffic to evade pressure and get out of danger with ease.
More than that, the former central midfielder steps up in the attack or crosses the ball with precision with his right or left foot.
"I think they want to keep bringing him in, which I think is wonderful for Geoff," Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear said. "This could be a big year for him domestically and internationally."

Putting Customer Satisfaction First
Posted on June 25, 2019 by NT Voice and Data
Read about the work we have recently done & how this is helping our clients improve their own customers' experiences & satisfaction.
Customer Satisfaction at the forefront of what we do – we have helped Scrivens eliminate their lost calls, keep caller wait times to a minimum while offering the best telecoms solution to fit their individual needs as a business.
About Scrivens
Scrivens Opticians and Hearing Care is prized for its fantastic customer service at a local, personalized level. Founded over 80 years ago, the family-owned and operated optician and hearing care specialist now supports over 180 branches across England with plans for further expansion—all while maintaining the core values on which the company was built.
People are at the heart of Scrivens' business model. The ability to provide personal service based on individual requirements and preferences is at the heart of all innovation plans. Critical to the company's vision is stable, scalable and sustainable growth that enables Scrivens to deliver experiences that matter.
This means maintaining high quality phone service for customers calling to book appointments, obtain advice or discuss service issues, even when staff are busy caring for customers instore. It means securely expanding while preserving the local feel and human touch that has garnered Scrivens respect and admiration through the decades. Ultimately, it means finding the right technology partner who understands their mission and shares in their customer values.
NT Voice and Data Solutions together with Avaya heard them loud and clear (see what we did there?). Puns aside, we offered the proficiency and product value for Scrivens to seamlessly, securely and cost-effectively grow while continuing to deliver on its promise of fantastic service and clinical excellence. Here's how…
Eliminating the Dreaded Wait
Companies need to go beyond minimization to fully eliminate long wait times. This was a key concern for Scrivens in its quest to grow—delivering value to greater communities—while maintaining the quality of service its brand was best known for. A few years ago, the company noticed some roadblocks in its ability to answer calls in a timely manner. Those obstacles eventually turned into barricades that prevented the company from delivering care in the ways its customers needed and expected.
Scrivens' IT Director David Hewitson shared his vision behind the development:
If branches were tied up or calls weren't answered within just a few rings, we wanted them to be automatically rerouted to our contact center. We needed to ensure calls would be answered quickly, intelligently and attentively, no matter how busy a branch was."
Research shows that all it takes is waiting on hold for one minute for almost 60% of customers to hang up when calling a company. We wanted to take Scrivens above and beyond, so we made it our shared goal to connect every store branch to a central contact center so that all calls would be answered within 20 seconds flat.
Scrivens' existing system couldn't intelligently connect all branches to the contact center in this way. The company needed an adaptable and integrative system that was easy to use for the company's 1000+ staff, while doing the legwork of connecting every branch to a central contact center for improved response time. Also of interest was the ability to integrate additional communication channels like email and Web chat to expand customer care on their terms.
"We wanted to take things one step at a time, but we understand the importance of having multiple, dynamic forms of communication for customer engagement and satisfaction."
Avaya IP Office™ Server Edition turned out to be the perfect fit for Scrivens. The system could seamlessly connect the entire company to a central contact center with integrated UC capabilities to support more sophisticated customer interactions when they were ready. And with support for cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployments, IP Office empowered Scrivens with the ability to migrate from one to the other when the time was right.
Demolishing Downtime
The top factor in Scrivens' decision-making was reliability.
"With thousands of calls a day, downtime is not a word in our vocabulary. We hadn't gone for full IP in the past due to concerns around scalability and failure. We have had outages in the past."
As the brand grew, it needed a solution that would deliver instant failover if any element in the call flow failed.
Together with NT Voice and Data Solutions, Avaya curated a continuity approach that provided Scrivens with this much-needed assurance. The approach was carefully implemented and delivered outstanding results. We checked in with Scrivens one year after system deployment to learn that Avaya IP Office was delivering the reliability and redundancy the company needed for sustainable, long-term growth.
"Multiple levels of protection have been built into the system to eliminate any single point of failure. Our main SIP routing incorporates 3 levels of failover, 2 of which are fully automatic and we have a backup Avaya IP Office Server on permanent standby. In the case of a local branch broadband outage the Avaya system automatically diverts calls to the contact center levels with no potential loss of business. Now, we're approaching zero lost calls."
Scrivens also amplified its communications infrastructure using Avaya IP Office Contact Center, enabling agents to resolve inquiries quickly and with greater personalization at the individual account level. Specifically, the company introduced skills-based routing—a core element of IP Office Contact Center—to pair customers with the right subject matter expert enterprise-wide, turning the contact center into a revenue-generator. The result: an increase in number of sight tests, contact lens and hearing appointment bookings at a lower operational cost.
Continuing a Legacy of Excellence
In an age defined by business closure, it's clear Scrivens is doing something right. The company is rooted in service excellence and will continue that legacy with Avaya's technology foundation, all while enjoying competitive cost benefits.
"Even with the initial capital expenditure, we estimate that three years from now we'll be saving money compared to what we were spending before. Other providers could have offered us something similar, but not at the same cost."
Don't make a spectacle of yourself (we couldn't resist one more). Learn more about Avaya IP Office and IP Office Contact Center here.

Neem has antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, anti-viral tendency. Therefore, it is the best mosquito repellent component. Neem seed oil smell keeps mosquitoes far and has its effect for 8 hours approximately. Apply this oil by mixing equal amounts of coconut oil on exposed parts of your body. Neem seed oil also uses as pesticides to keep bugs away from crops.
It has both properties, insecticide as well as repellent. It is more beneficial and gives strong results than another herbal pesticide. Apply it on the skin by adding soybean oil to it. Both together, work and enhance oomph and longevity without causing unfavorable side effects. It will be more serviceable if you spray around your home, using a spray bottle full of water and few drops of lemongrass oil in it.
Consuming garlic covers almost all body disease. Garlic cloves have a component named as "allicin." Allicin is the essential oil of garlic that has a strong and pungent smell. Mosquitos hate this scent. This scent is highly allergic to all the mosquitos or parasites and prevents the many diseases spread by them. So, smear this oil on your outer skin. You can boil crushed garlic with water and spray it around your house. This method has durable validity.
It is used to keep environment pollution free. It fights against impurity when it discloses to the environment and hence kills mosquitos and restrict their generation. That's why sprinkle coffee grounds or power in still water neighbors your living region. It kills mosquitos and also their eggs even before incubating.
Lemon as well as eucalyptus are the enemies of mosquitos and prevent you from their bites. Cineole is a substance found in and an excellent source of eucalyptus oil. Its nature is antiseptic and repellent that provides mosquito free atmosphere. So, mix lemon oil and cineol and spread this mixture on your body surface. Or, you can place lemon slices with cloves on it, on your entry gates, windows or elsewhere near your house.
It has antibacterial and antibiotic properties. It acts as a mosquitos repellent as it does not allow them to come near it. Plant basil around your house that will make a vicious trap for mosquitos to keep them away. You can use basil oil for your skin. Drop basil in your home cleaner and clean floors, windows, etc.
Lavender flowers attract humans, but it welcomes all insects and mosquitos. It has a high and impermeable smell that loathe mosquitoes entry. It operates as a room freshener. So spray lavender oil in your home or directly on your skin. You can use this oil by adding in a body or facial cream.
It is a panacea use to get rid of mosquitoes. It damage flies family members (insects, parasites, bacteria, and mosquitoes) and treats as an insecticide. Crush the peppermint leaves between palm and obtain its oil. Then pet these leaves on mosquito bite that heal and prevent you from fevers or diseases. You can just apply the oil on your skin or can use it with any other remedy. But if you are allergic to this oil, never try this.
It attracts mosquitoes towards it to kill them because it releases carbon dioxide and mitigates the supply of oxygen near them. To get rid of mosquitoes put dry ice in a container by making certain distance away from you and then burn it. When a class of mosquitoes comes to it close the container that will undoubtedly lead them to death. This process is a time-consuming method but pretty much effective than others.
Camphor obtains from the extract of a tree. Mosquitos do not stay even a half minute near it. It is a superior toxin and natural repellent of parasites. It provides a mosquito free environment in a friendly way. Because it made of oil, you can rub it on your skin. But if you are hypersensitive to camphor then a very acceptable option is to light a camphor in your bedroom for just half an hour.
This oil obtained from distilled oil of various varieties of grass. It prevents the landing of mosquitos in nearby regions. It is a natural repelling agent. It can use as a vaporizer. But many prefer candle infusing using citronella oil.
Mosquitoes home is mainly unmovable water. They live here in the stagnant water. They lay eggs daily in a large quantity and multiply rapidly. So the very first procedure against mosquitoes is to drain standing water. Check tires, puddles, pails, container, cooler, etc. because these are the place where water is motionless. And you store water yourself, cover it all the time.
Mosquitos bites can lead one to several diseases so, use net while you are sleeping. Though it is not a complete method to get rid because a crowd of mosquitoes attacks human. Thu, it is quite safe.
Salt is also known as sodium chloride. It has a superpower to insist mosquitos to run away. Make a paste of salt by adding few drops of water in it and apply it on the skin. You can spray of salt water near you and your house that will also be worthwhile.
To get the absence of mosquito, make a trap for them at home by cutting a plastic bottle in half. Fill it with warm water and then pour the mixture of yeast and brown sugar. Paint or wrap the container with black tape or cloth around it. Place this at dense mosquito part. You will find lessen mosquito staying. Remember to change the bottled water within two weeks.
There are also little things to do that cause significant effects to keep area mosquitos free.
Keep clean your house and nearby areas.
Plant more and more herbs near your home or in the garden.
Do not allow their entry by keeping doors and windows closed.
Be cautious of still water for the time.
Use LEDs, yellow light, or sodium lights.
Kill flying mosquito immediately after seeing them.
Do regular trimming of garden grass.
Use dustbin instead of throwing away of the garbage. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,925 |
Abstract: We discuss the Sagnac effect in standard Minkowski coordinates and with an alternative synchronization convention. We find that both approaches lead to the same result without any contradictions. When applying standard coordinates to the complete rim of the rotating disk, a time-lag has to be taken into account which accounts for the global anisotropy. We propose a closed Minkowski space-time as an exact equivalent to the rim of a disk, both in the rotating and non-rotating case. In this way the Sagnac effect can be explained as being purely topological, neglecting the radial acceleration altogether. This proves that the rim of the disk can be treated as an inertial system. In the same context we discuss the twin paradox and find that the standard scenario is equivalent to an unaccelerated version in a closed space-time. The closed topology leads to preferred frame effects which can be detected only globally. The relation of synchronization conventions to the measurement of lengths is discussed in the context of Ehrenfest's paradox. This leads to a confirmation of the classical arguments by Ehrenfest and Einstein. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,926 |
Q: Set new page access group to parent page access group In TYPO3 it is possible to set the access group of new pages using TSConfig:
TCEMAIN {
permissions.groupid = 1
}
However, we want to set it to the same group that's set for the parent page without having to manually set this TSConfig for all pages where it is changed. Is this possible? If so, how?
A: I've been looking for a similar solution in the past week, something like groupId = inherit would be great.
Can you open up a new issue for this? https://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3cms-core/issues/new
Hopefully we can add this rather sooner than later (but not for v9 unfortunately), however I'm pretty sure this change could be built by an extension for v9, maybe one of my clients needs this as well at some point (hopefully rather sooner than later).

Claire holds a BSc in Ecology and an MSc in Biodiversity Conservation and Management. She worked in Nigeria for CERCOPAN as Deputy Director from 2007 to 2009 and as Director from 2009 to 2012. Prior to joining CERCOPAN, Claire was the Wildlife Co-ordinator for the World Society for the Protection of Animals managing animal welfare and conservation projects in Africa, Asia and South America. She has also worked with wild primates in the Amazon and Madagascan rainforests and with captive primates in the Banham and San Diego Zoos. Claire now lives on a remote rainforest property in Far North Queensland with husband and fellow trustee Graham Brown and is pursuing a career as a writer.
Robert spent 10 years in Nigeria as a child, and recently completed a further 10 years in country, working in the former capital, Lagos. With a love of nature as a hobby, he travelled all over Nigeria as Chair of the Lagos branch of the Nigerian Field Society, before deciding to spend most of his free time in Cross River State, with CERCOPAN in particular. Apart from providing voluntary logistical support to in-country operations from Lagos, Robert also conducted a major survey of the butterflies of Rhoko during his vacations, confirming the presence there of more than 550 species. From his new base working as a geologist in Moscow he continues to contribute by providing fundraising and administrative support.
Graham volunteered as a veterinary with CERCOPAN from August 2010 t January 2012. He holds a BSc (Veterinary) and a BVSc and conducted his thesis on for sedating non-human primates. Graham specializes in wildlife veterinary medicine and has worked in a number of veterinary clinics in Australia dealing with both wild animals and domestic pets and has also worked with the Johannesburg zoo. Graham is currently associate veterinarian in Cairns, whilst providing veterinary advice and support to the team in Nigeria.
Zena arrived in Nigeria in 1991 and founded CERCOPAN in 1995. With a BSc (Hon) in Zoology, an MSc in Biology and Animal Behaviour and veterinary nursing all listed amongst her qualifications, Zena has been passionate about wildlife and animals all her life. Discovered the joy of travelling first in Asia and then in Africa after returning to university as a 'mature student'. Like many people, Africa beckoned again, which brought her to Nigeria as a CUSO volunteer. Very soon after arriving in Nigeria, the plight of primates grabbed her interest, and the more she got to know about them the more committed she became. After studying many different types of wildlife, from hummingbirds to wolves, primates are the ones which really won her over! That and Nigeria – its people, its rainforests. Zena is now based in Norfolk, UK. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,928 |

On This Day In History January 28
January 28 is the 28th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 337 days remaining until the end of the year (338 in leap years).
On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson nominates Louis Brandeis to the Supreme Court. After a bitterly contested confirmation, Brandeis became the first Jewish judge on the Supreme Court.
A graduate of Harvard Law School, Brandeis quickly earned a reputation in Boston as the people's attorney for taking on cases pro bono. Brandeis advocated progressive legal reform to combat the social and economic ills caused in America by industrialization. He met Woodrow Wilson, who was impressed by Brandeis' efforts to hold business and political leaders accountable to the public, during Wilson's 1912 campaign against Theodore Roosevelt. Brandeis' early legal achievements included the establishment of savings-bank life insurance in Massachusetts and securing minimum wages for women workers. He also devised what became known as the Brandeis Brief, an appellate report that analyzed cases on economic and social evidence rather than relying solely on legal precedents.
Louis Dembitz Brandeis (November 13, 1856 – October 5, 1941) was an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1916 to 1939. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, to Jewish parents who had emigrated from Europe. He enrolled at Harvard Law School, graduating at the age of twenty with the highest grade average in the college's history.
Brandeis settled in Boston where he became a recognized lawyer through his work on social causes that would benefit society. He helped develop the "right to privacy" concept by writing a Harvard Law Review article of that title, and was thereby credited by legal scholar Roscoe Pound as having accomplished "nothing less than adding a chapter to our law". Years later, a book he published, entitled Other People's Money, suggested ways of curbing the power of large banks and money trusts, which partly explains why he later fought against powerful corporations, monopolies, public corruption, and mass consumerism, all of which he felt were detrimental to American values and culture. He also became active in the Zionist movement, seeing it as a solution to the "Jewish problem" of antisemitism in Europe and Russia, while at the same time being a way to "revive the Jewish spirit."
When his family's finances became secure, he began devoting most of his time to public causes and was later dubbed the "People's Lawyer." He insisted on serving on cases without pay so that he would be free to address the wider issues involved. The Economist magazine calls him "A Robin Hood of the law." Among his notable early cases were actions fighting railroad monopolies; defending workplace and labor laws; helping create the Federal Reserve System; and presenting ideas for the new Federal Trade Commission (FTC). He achieved recognition by submitting a case brief, later called the "Brandeis Brief," which relied on expert testimony from people in other professions to support his case, thereby setting a new precedent in evidence presentation.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson nominated Brandeis to become a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. However, his nomination was bitterly contested, partly because, as Justice William O. Douglas wrote, "Brandeis was a militant crusader for social justice whoever his opponent might be. He was dangerous not only because of his brilliance, his arithmetic, his courage. He was dangerous because he was incorruptible. . . [and] the fears of the Establishment were greater because Brandeis was the first Jew to be named to the Court." He was eventually confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 47 to 22 on June 1, 1916, and became one of the most famous and influential figures ever to serve on the high court. His opinions were, according to legal scholars, some of the "greatest defenses" of freedom of speech and the right to privacy ever written by a member of the high court.
Psychic Reading Apocalyse Ranch
Welcome, come one and all to the first annual psychic reading at the Apocalypse Ranch. Will Obama declare martial law over raw milk vaccine deniers Sandy Hook Googleopians 911 truthers OWS past participants Oath Keepers from Arizona and or drone hackers anonymous and or Gordon Duff from Veterans Today. What is real? We have zero clue and we are going to have continued zero clue as THE news reads like a zombie survival game. A Belgian MP said it so eloquently, what is fuck you in French/Belgian, no, I mean several times. Zebignew Bresinski must be completely pissed. They, them them, the Illuminati, well the entire world is saying fuck you to well the western world. I kind to celebrate this but not.
So, how difficult is it to own a gun in Japan?
Applicants first must go to their local police station and declare their intent. After a lecture and a written test comes range training, then a background check. Police likely will even talk to the applicant's neighbors to see if he or she is known to have a temper, financial troubles or an unstable household. A doctor must sign a form saying the applicant has not been institutionalized and is not epileptic, depressed, schizophrenic, alcoholic or addicted to drugs.
Gun owners must tell the police where in the home the gun will be stored. It must be kept under lock and key, must be kept separate from ammunition, and preferably chained down. It's legal to transport a gun in the trunk of a car to get to one of the country's few shooting ranges, but if the driver steps away from the vehicle and gets caught, that's a violation.
There are 120,000 registered gun owners and more than 400,000 registered weapons, yet the most current official statistics from 2011 show that 7 people were killed by guns while 9 were killed by scissors. Obviously Japan needs to enact a Constitutional Amendment outlawing the sale of scissors.
First, anyone who wants to get a gun must demonstrate a valid reason why they should be allowed to do so. Under longstanding Japanese policy, there is no good reason why any civilian should have a handgun, so – aside from a few dozen accomplished competitive shooters – they are completely banned.
Virtually all handgun-related crime is attributable to gangsters, who obtain them on the black market. But such crime is extremely rare and when it does occur, police crack down hard on whatever gang is involved, so even gangsters see it as a last-ditch option.
There is no good reason why a civilian should own a handgun.

Q: I recently watched a called 'Before Sunrise' which is considered a masterpiece. It starred one of my favorite actors, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. The movie was about a meeting between a girl and a boy on a train by chance. They spend time getting to know each other just for a day by talking constantly. The story leads to next series, 'Before Sunset' reuniting after about ten years of separation. And then the final series of 'Before', 'Before Midnight', tells their married life. I've been into their story and love, seriously. soa natural?
A: watched a movie (lol)
I would put a comma after hawke. it's called the Oxford comma, and some people use it while others don't. but to me, as it is now, it sounds like one of your favorite actors is named "Ethan hawke and Julie Delpy" which is a strange name.

Q: That's a masterpiece that can be appreciated by the refined and the vulgar alike. soa natural?
A: Natural, but I would expect to read that sentence in a newspaper or magazine. It's a little formal to say to a friend, I think.
Less formal or more conversational would be something like: "That was a great movie, I think everyone would like it."

Tigers Sink Sea Horses 33-22... Big Second Half for MUHS Gridders
After a valiant, total team effort on the road at Barttleboro the preceding week, loosing by a wisker, the MUHS Tigers were at home this past Friday night October 10th 2008 to host the Burlington Seahorses, a team that they have had excellent success against in recent years. The Tigers came into this one with only a single win in their division.
The Seahorses were also in a "down-cycle" with respect to overall numbers of players this year and came into the contest with a no win record. First year BHS Head Coach Kevin Carney knew he would be facing a rebuilding season similar to the one he faced at Spaulding in Barre several years earlier. Carney fashioned the Spaulding program into a winner one season later and is working to do the same at Burlington. Like Spaulding, BHS is a team with a proud high school football tradition.
Combining Different Missions: Three Days of Service at VUHS
Every year, testing of large percentages of students in each high school in the state must be accomplished. Last year, VUHS looked at those testing days through a very different lens, and decided on a new approach. For three days in October and again in May, parts of the school community are committed to diligently taking state and national tests, performing at their personal best. While three hundred students test, the other four hundred set out on a three day odyssey of a different sort. The Freshman Class spent two mornings in the community raking, clipping, stacking, chopping, organizing and performing tasks for city, non-profit and religious organizations. On the third day they visited Champlain College, the University of Vermont and St. Michael's College exploring possibilities and beginning the process of seeing themselves reaching for goals past high school. The Sophomore Class completed both testing, one day of community service and one day of college visits. The juniors were testing the whole three days. The senior class took the lead in a new project that brought together the reality of cancer, the devastating effect the disease has on people in Vermont and the fact that teens can mobilize to make a difference about it. The Class of 2009 collected sponsors and walked a total of 18 miles from Vergennes to Porter Hospital in order to make a donation to the Cancer Screening and Prevention Program for Addison County people. Porter Hospital President James L. Daily accepted the donation on behalf of the hospital.
Around And About Addison County—Orwell
By M. Stuart Parks
Although Orwell was chartered in 1763 it remained unsettled for the better part of ten years. In the meantime that part of Orwell that jutted into Lake Champlain became of strategic importance in the War of the Revolution. Champlain is very narrow here and just across that strait a small peninsula of New York land noses into the water that is the home of Fort Ticonderoga. In June of 1776 General Philip Schuyler and the American Troops built a huge fortress and called it Mount Independence in honor of the Declaration of Independence. This fortification was three hundred feet above the Lake and was a complex of batteries, parapets and blockhouses built to safeguard the southern route from the British armies who saw Lake Champlain as the gateway to America from the North. Fort Ticonderoga was in poor condition while the massive new fort on Mount Independence with its twelve hundred troops was ready for action. In October of 1776, the British fleet, commanded by Sir Guy Carleton, sailed in sight and was so intimidated by what he saw on both sides of the Lake that he turned around and sailed back to Canada. The rebel army now had time to prepare for future invasion. [ more ]
Carleton's Raid on the Champlain Valley
By Jessy Sturtevant
Christopher Carleton was a fighting man and a leader. He had lived among natives as a young man and had learned their ways. He was liked by all the men under his control. So, in 1778, when Fredrick Halimond, the Governor General of Canada, was looking for a man to lead a raid down Lake Champlain to the Otter Creek Valley, he chose Major Christopher Carleton. Carleton proved to be a good choice. In July of 1778, a smaller raid on the Onion River Valley (today known as the Winooski River) had failed because of troubles with the Indians. Carleton, however, could understand and work with them. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 9,932 |
The Chicago and Southern Railroad built a rail line in northeastern Illinois, extending south from Chicago to Thornton. It now mainly forms part of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, while the north end has been operated by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, the Illinois Northern Railway, and most recently the Central Illinois Railroad.
History
The Chicago and Southern Railroad was incorporated on April 7, 1874, and was opened in 1876 under lease to the Chicago, Danville and Vincennes Railroad, which used it as its access to Chicago. (Prior to 1876 the CD&V had entered Chicago via trackage rights over the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central Railway from Dolton, several miles north of Thornton, where the CD&V ended.) The Chicago and Southern headed northwest from Thornton, crossing the Illinois Central Railroad at Harvey, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad at Blue Island, and the Chicago and Alton Railroad at Corwith before curving east along 26th Street, crossing the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central Railway and ending just west of Western Avenue at a junction with the Lumber District of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. The narrow-gauge Chicago, Millington and Western Railway briefly used the portion on 26th Street.
The CD&V was reorganized in 1877 as the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad, and on July 31, 1878 the Chicago and Southern was sold at foreclosure to representatives of the Grand Trunk Railway, which reorganized it as the Chicago and State Line Railway. In the next two years, the Grand Trunk completed a line between Port Huron, Michigan and Chicago, consolidating its components on April 6, 1880 to form new subsidiary Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway. To provide improved access to Chicago, the Grand Trunk Junction Railway was incorporated in 1880 and opened in 1881, branching off the old line at Elsdon and following 49th Street east past the Union Stock Yards to the Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad, a terminal railroad that was later controlled jointly by the Grand Trunk Junction and four other railroads.
The Chicago and St. Louis Railway opened a line between Pekin and Chicago on December 21, 1885, initially using the Chicago and Grand Trunk between Corwith and the end in 26th Street. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which had acquired the Chicago and St. Louis in December 1886 through subsidiary Chicago, Santa Fe and California Railway, bought the line between Elsdon and 26th Street on July 20, 1887. Santa Fe subsidiary Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in Chicago completed a more direct entrance to Chicago in 1888, and in 1902 the Illinois Northern Railway, controlled by the International Harvester Company, which owned a plant near 26th Street, leased the entire line except for short sections at the junctions at Corwith and Elsdon. The Santa Fe also retained its Corwith Yard between these junctions.
The Santa Fe eventually bought control of the Illinois Northern, and merged it in 1975. Successor Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway leased the line north of Corwith to new shortline Central Illinois Railroad in 2000.
As for the line south of Elsdon, it remains owned and operated by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad as part of its Elsdon Subdivision.

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley issued the following statement regarding the nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
"Anyone who comes forward as Dr. Ford has deserves to be heard, so I will continue working on a way to hear her out in an appropriate, precedented and respectful manner.
"The standard procedure for updates to any nominee's background investigation file is to conduct separate follow-up calls with relevant parties. In this case, that would entail phone calls with at least Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford. Consistent with that practice, I asked Senator Feinstein's office yesterday to join me in scheduling these follow-ups. Thus far, they have refused. But as a necessary step in evaluating these claims, I'll continue working to set them up.
"Unfortunately, committee Republicans have only known this person's identity from news reports for less than 24 hours and known about her allegations for less than a week. Senator Feinstein, on the other hand, has had this information for many weeks and deprived her colleagues of the information necessary to do our jobs. The Minority withheld even the anonymous allegations for six weeks, only to later decide that they were serious enough to investigate on the eve of the committee vote, after the vetting process had been completed.
"It's deeply disturbing that the existence of these allegations were leaked in a way that seemed to preclude Dr. Ford's confidentiality. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,937 |

Translate English to Chinese
Our Chinese translation services involves translating Simplified Chinese to English by skillful Mandarin translators.
Simplified Chinese refers to the writing script that is usually used in Mainland China to represent spoken Mandarin. When people mention Standard Chinese, they usually refer to Mandarin, which is based on the Beijing dialect. Mandarin is spoken by over 1 billion speakers all over the world and is an official language in a number of countries and regions including Mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. In addition, Chinese communities can be found on nearly all continents and many countries see the use of Chinese on a regular basis. Notable Chinese communities can be found in the United States, many countries in Europe, Japan, Korea, Australia, and more. We can translate English into Mandarin and provide Mandarin to English translation as well as English to Traditional Chinese and course we can translate Chinese to Malay.
All Chinese varieties, which is what linguists designate dialects and languages, are considered part of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages. Languages in this family include Standard Chinese (Mandarin), and major dialects like Cantonese, Hokkien, Wu. While the spoken varieties have developed in a certain way, the writing might not necessarily reflect these developments and the development of written Chinese has been more steadily tracked, mainly due to existing records.

Written Chinese are considered logograms, where in general, the characters represent concepts and ideas. It is categorized as either traditional or simplified with the latter heavily influenced by reforms in the writing system made at the governmental level and promoted since the 1950s and 1960s. Other iterations of Chinese writing have also spread to neighboring countries and the languages of these countries have adopted these elements of the Chinese writing system into their own. Simplified Chinese is officially used in Mainland China and Singapore, while Traditional Chinese is used in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Written Chinese can either be written from left to right, read from the top to the bottom of the page, or vertically with the columns of text occurring from right to left. Perhaps the most notable characteristic of the script is the amount of characters that users of the language have to know in order to be considered literate. 6,000 characters are designated as common with thousands more required to read more technical texts. The script normally does not denote sounds but rather concepts represented in iconic form, something that vastly differs from more Western scripts. A minority of the characters do, however represent sounds. Many changes of the script have occurred throughout the history, which may have buried the original meaning or sounds of the characters.

The nature of the script makes learning Chinese for those who are not familiar with Chinese characters a daunting task. In addition, the use of certain characters to convey nuances in the writing that might not be conveyed purely through speaking adds more considerations for those who have to deal more exclusively with written genres, such as writers and translators.
The Chinese language has a long history that reflects the cultural shifts that have occurred throughout the Sinosphere throughout history. Furthermore, the different rates and paths of development between written Chinese and spoken Chinese make it quite an interesting artefact of study in historical linguistics. In terms of speaking, this history includes the development of dialects of Mandarin, Cantonese, Wu, and more. Some are mutually intelligible while others are not and have evolved in different ways. Writing, however, has evolved more steadily and in a more standardized fashion. Thus, while certain speakers might use dialects that are not mutually intelligible, there is a common ground in terms of written form.
The history of the Chinese language can generally be divided into three eras. Old Chinese, also referred to Classical Chinese or archaic Chinese, was the language that was used during the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. Not much known exists about the actual spoken language as it has mostly been analyzed from a written perspective, even though clues into aspects such as pronunciation and dialectal differences can be drawn from the literature and poetry at the time, as well as from other languages that were heavily influenced by Chinese, such as Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese. During this time, the oral language was one where tone did not play much of a role. The start of the character system also emerged, with most characters being basic logograms, corresponding to basic elements that were important for everyday living as well as literary and poetic expression. As time went on, these logograms evolved into the more complex and nuanced characters that we see today.
Middle Chinese usually refers to the language used between the 6th and 10th centuries, and these are more similar to the Chinese varieties of language that are found today. There was development of tones and vocabulary. The writing system was also further refined, and more similarities can be seen from the writing system at this time to the writing of contemporary Chinese.
Modern Chinese remains an extremely important language. With the sheer number of speakers in a number of countries and with literacy rates having increased significantly in the past years, Chinese remains a vital mode of communication.
The number of Mandarin speakers continue to increase as education in countries outside the Sinosphere emphasize it as a foreign language, especially in the United States and European countries. Moreover, it's influence on global politics and business, as well as its cultural spread makes is a vital language of the world.
When non-Chinese speakers think of Chinese, they think of the massive amount of characters in the script of course, which was described above. But also, it is the prototypical example of a tonal language, where the change of a syllables tone can change the meaning of words. Another interesting characteristic of the Chinese language, especially in Mainland China, is the regulation and standardization of it. The Chinese language tends to have less loan words as Chinese versions of the words are created and promoted within the education system.
What's the difference between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese?
Sometimes, people are confused between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. In addition, due to the variety of dialects that exist both in Mainland China, and other Chinese-speaking territories, the linguistic atmosphere in the Sinosphere is quite complicated to people from the outside.
Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese refer to the writing systems and would be more accurately referred to as Simplified Characters and Traditional Characters. As the name states, Simplified Characters are simplified versions of Traditional Characters, which tend to have more strokes, a more complicated stroke order, and more. The characters were simplified in the People's Republic of China by the government and used in printing starting in the 1950s as a way to improve literacy rates, as they were deemed easier to learn and read.
Simplified Characters are used mainly in Mainland China, Singapore, and the Chinese community in Malaysia. Traditional Characters are currently used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, as well as many communities of overseas Chinese, even though this is changing as immigration patterns change.
Sometimes, people confuse the terms Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese with spoken dialects. However, Simplified and Traditional do not refer to the spoken language but specifically to writing systems. Chinese dialects refer to the regional varieties of Chinese spoken in Chinese speaking regions. These include Cantonese, Hokkien, Wu, and many more. Linguists estimate there to be hundreds of varieties. Some major dialects, while called dialects for political reasons, are considered languages by the people who speak them and have a larger media presence, and political sway in terms of administrative use. This is especially true of Cantonese where a large movie and music industry exist. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 9,939 |

Even if you haven't been following medical marijuana news, you probably heard that marijuana can have some mind blowing effects on patients suffering from debilitating conditions, one of them being Alzheimer's disease. You also probably heard that most medical marijuana patients prefer strains that have more CBD, rather than THC because THC makes them stoned rather than better. That trend soon marked a spike in genetically modified marijuana strains that have almost zero THC but are filled to the brim with CBD; one obvious example being Avidekel – a CBD only strain produced by a company called Tikun Olam from Israel.
However, marijuana is a plant that is heavily under researched and only with the rise in support has the industry seen a rise in research as well. We couldn't be happier about that as this will ensure that the plant receives credit on a more scientific level. That's right, personal testimonials weren't enough, as they simply didn't provide a base to build on further research. There have been some studies that claim marijuana could be beneficial to patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. For a while, it has seemed that research regarding that particular disease has come to a halt. Luckily, the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease published results of a research study in September, which claims that THC could benefit patients suffering from Alzheimer's.
When you look at the statistics, over five million American are currently suffering from the disease and that costs the US over $200 billion dollars per year. The University of South Florida and Thomas Jefferson University researched the effects THC has on Alzheimer's disease and came to the conclusion that it not only slows it down but that it could stop it altogether. What is really interesting about this is that the THC seems to be the main component responsible for battling the disease. On top of that, the researchers also found out that THC boosts the mitochondria, the so-called energy factories of the cells.
It is well known that THC has antioxidant properties but it wasn't known that it had such an effect on the brain. However, when you think about it, that perfectly makes sense because is believed that Alzheimer's disease stems from brain inflammation that has been present in a persons life for decades or maybe even a lifetime. Since THC and CBD reduce the inflammation in the brain, it was perfectly reasonable to try and test these assumptions on actual patients.
Some neuroscientists believe that getting high in your twenties may be the best possible way to avoid an onset of Alzheimer's disease in the future. Even the Time reported that marijuana slows aging of the brain. It would be great if we could state that marijuana was a fantastic choice during those college years and that anyone who was stoned in their twenties was actually doing himself a favor. But, to be perfectly honest, all we know for now is that if you had a history of Alzheimer's in your family, then it wouldn't hurt to vaporize a bit of weed every now and then.
My wife is 54 and has a diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's. Since her diagnosis I have read many articles and studies pertaining to the illness and it's treatment. The most optimistic of which has been medical marijuana. The problem is however, i live in England and because it is a band substance our family member's are unable to see or accept this as a possible therapy. This also applies to my wife . I am lost as to how to move forward in terms of aiding her and stearring her toward what I see as the only promising treatment available at this time. Thank you for your information and continue with the good work. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 9,941 |
