Member of Ukrainian Parliament Valeriy Pysarenko appealed to the Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman to prevent the reduction of investment expenditures of the Kharkiv territorial community. The reason for the deputy appeal is the Draft Law №0000 "On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Promoting Investment Activity in Ukraine", introduced by the Cabinet of Ministers. According to the Politician, the government document provides for the cancellation of the share participation of the customer in the development of the infrastructure of the settlement. And this will lead to significant annual loss of local budgets. Only Kharkiv will not get enough about UAH 00 million, which is 00,0% of the budget revenues of the city. "The Cabinet of Ministers did not provide proper financial and economic calculations and proposals on sources of coverage of losses of local budget revenues, which contradicts Part 0, Article 000 of the Constitution of Ukraine, according to which the expenditures of local self-government bodies that arose as a result of decisions of state authorities are compensated by the state," - stated in Mr. Pysarenko's appeal to Groysman. The MP assures that the initiative proposed by the Cabinet of Ministers will not find support in the Parliament. Therefore, it asks the government to reconsider and submit a revised Draft Law after consulting local self-government bodies on balancing the budgets of local communities.

Dr. Blase A. Carabello, Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina University, 000 Heart Drive, Greenville, North Carolina 00000. A 00-year-old man notes that his exercise tolerance has diminished over the past year and that he is limited to climbing 0 flight of stairs, reduced from 0 flights previously. His physical examination reveals a late peaking systolic ejection murmur, and his carotid upstrokes are delayed. Echocardiography finds a transvalvular jet velocity of 0.0 m/s, a mean gradient of 00 mm Hg, a calculated aortic valve area (AVA) of 0.0 cm0, a body surface area of 0.0 m0, and an indexed valve area of 0.0 cm0/m0. I suspect that most practitioners reading this editorial would find that this clinical picture is consistent with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) and would recommend aortic valve replacement (AVR), yet only the indexed valve area meets guideline definitions for severe AS. How sure are we, however, that the patient's AS is truly severe and that AVR is the correct course of action? Starting with the classic work of Ross and Braunwald (0) and now confirmed by randomized trials, there is no doubt that symptomatic severe AS is a fatal disease treated effectively only by AVR (0,0). There are also truly asymptomatic patients with severe AS who are at increased risk who also may benefit from AVR (i.e., those with very severe AS, those with abnormal stress test results, and probably those with high and increasing levels of biomarkers, especially natriuretic peptides) (0-0). In these asymptomatic patients, certainty regarding severity is even more critical because the benefit is less definite than if symptoms were present. Obviously, the clinical problem posed is in defining the word "severe." In some cases, the diagnosis is apparent but in others, such as in the aforementioned case, the decision is more difficult because severe is as much a concept as it is a number or group of numbers. Severe AS is that level of left ventricular (LV) outflow obstruction that causes more than mild hypertrophy, abnormal coronary blood flow, and diastolic and systolic LV dysfunction that act in concert to cause symptoms, LV damage, and cardiac death. Could we be so naive as to believe that all patients who, despite their varying genetic backgrounds leading to remarkable variation in response to the same stimulus (0), would all get sick at the same gradient, jet velocity, or AVA? I am sure we are not nor do Berthelot-Richer et al. (0) imply that possibility in their erudite work published in the current issue of iJACC. Berthelot-Richer et al. (0) asked the question: which of the various ways of judging AS severity was the best screening tool for predicting outcome and which then best predicted who would benefit from AVR? They found that AVA outperformed other measures in this prediction. In comparing surgical options with so-called medical treatment, extensive propensity matching was required. Although propensity matching always leaves one to wonder whether adequate adjustment was really made, perhaps the most daunting is the presence of coronary artery disease. Accordingly, the investigators performed a separate analysis excluding patients with coronary artery disease, and the results were the same. An AVA <0.0 cm0 was the best predictor of outcome and therefore arguably the best arbitrator of what constitutes severe AS. AVA has the advantage of taking gradient (jet velocity) into the context of flow traversing the valve. The following concept has to be true: the more flow through a fixed obstruction the higher the gradient must be (00). It might explain why AVA would outperform other measures, especially in low flow states, but superior performance of AVA was also found in patients with normal LV function (in whom stroke volume index was also normal). Conversely, because the calculation of AVA requires measurement of flow, outflow tract diameter, and velocity, all which could introduce errors into the results, the simple measurement of velocity (and pari passu gradient) could have the advantage of being directly obtained primary data and of avoiding errors in calculation. But AVA still proved superior. Does that mean that AVA is always superior or the only datum we should rely on? Obviously not! In the example given in the beginning of this editorial, common sense tells us that the information taken as a whole (including the patient's physical examination) indicates that he had severe symptomatic AS requiring AVR although AVA was not in the severe range. Correction for body surface area indicated severe AS according to the indexed valve area, but it adds yet another variable to the calculation. Logically, larger patients have higher stroke volumes and thus require larger valve orifices. Although indexing is a reasonable approach to this problem, it entails new difficulties. Because it is volume of flow that generates the gradient, normalizing a volume-derived element according to area has its own theoretical problems (00). It would have been of interest had Berthelot-Richer et al. (0) compared AVA directly with indexed AVA (their Figure 0 suggests it may not have performed as well). In the end, the left ventricle doesn't know what the valve area is or what the gradient is that it is ejecting against. Furthermore, our calculations are usually made at rest. Because most people are active during the day and because the gradient increases by the square of the output (00), a doubling of cardiac output quadruples the gradient to which the left ventricle must respond in some way. Thus, it is not surprising that assessment of severity at rest is problematic in many cases (00). It is now the 00st century yet we are evaluating AS severity by using the same (but valuable) tools espoused by Gorlin and Gorlin (00) in 0000, made apt for noninvasive evaluation (AVA, gradient, and its noninvasive correlate jet velocity). Given that different subjects respond to a given pressure overload in individual ways, it is time to use the biology of the left ventricle that has responded to the overload to aid in making management decisions. The addition to the mix of biomarkers and degree of myocardial fibrosis is of intense interest and should augment hemodynamic assessment of what defines severe (00-00). It may be that these variables and other specific biologic changes that occur at one valve area or gradient in 0 patient but not in another will better indicate whether the left ventricle is heading for trouble. They may also indicate correction of the overload irrespective of the exact AVA or gradient, provided we are convinced that the outflow obstruction is severe. The hemodynamics of AS will always be important in assessing the pathophysiology of the disease because they cause its pathobiology. Coupling hemodynamics with new tools that examine biology should aid clinicians and their patients in making the correct decisions about disease management. In the meantime, except in obviously extreme cases (i.e., a mean gradient of 00 mm Hg), the clinician must use every tool at his or her disposal to assess severity of AS. These tools include a skilled physical examination, AVA, jet velocity, gradient, dimensionless index, and exercise hemodynamics. Add to that armamentarium emerging biological tools and sound clinical judgment, and we should arrive at the correct answer about what is entailed by severe AS.

It seems one of the first things we want to do to our motorcycles is customize it by adding chrome. It doesn't matter if we bought a blacked out version or one that has so much already on it, we can always find someway to add more chrome. Everyone at K and G Cycles (www.kandsgcycles.com) wants to give you every opportunity to add as much shiny personality (chrome) as you desire. There is never a right or wrong amount of chrome when adding it to your bike, it's what YOU like. In recent years the term given to reflective shiny add-ons is "Bling". So when you hear someone say they have "Blinged out their bike" they most certainly are talking about having added numerous chrome accessories. Even if you prefer to keep the blacked out look of your bike, you can still make it pop by adding black chrome. Black Chrome believe it or not is still very shiny, it just has a darker cast to it, and is sure to bring envy from afar. When you boil it do wn, chrome is the preferred accessory when customizing a motorcycle, even given as a gift, there is never a bad choice. Regardless what bike you own, or are looking to purchase you can bet there will be chrome accessories available from K and G Cycles (www.kandgcycles.com) to fill your every need. Take some time and browse our large selection of chrome available and take the first step to total customization of your ride. Batteries get me Charged Up!

Holiday Giveaway Week continues! Macy's has been linked to the holidays for my entire life - and likely yours, too. My Christmas season kicks off with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and I always end up at the department store to finish my holiday shopping. I've had a blast teaming up with Macy's South County this year to showcase the addition of Macy's Backstage and its newly expanded activewear departments, so I was thrilled to find out the store wanted to partner this season for a special holiday gift guide and, you guessed it, giveaway. Macy's South County gave me a $000 gift card to find my favorite gift-ready items from the store. Scroll down to shop my favorites and to enter to win your own gift card! Festive salad or dessert plates make a fantastic hostess gift, and the low price on this Merry & Bright set is unbeatable. Shopping for yourself? If you're like me, the idea of a full set of Christmas dishes sounds like a dinner party dream, but the investment (and storage requirement) is daunting. Try adding themed salad plates to your existing set instead! I paired these with red and green pieces from our Fiesta collection - as well as my DIY Christmas place card holders and last year's designer-dupe silverware stockings - and love how it turned out. Give the gift of Christmas decorations with a fun nutcracker or themed ornament. I like to add mine, like these ugly sweater ones, to the top of wrapped presents. Recipients who show their holiday spirit on their sleeve may also love items from the Charter Club holiday accessories collection, which is currently on sale. Aren't those bow earrings fun? It gets dark at 0 p.m., which means this is the most important time of the year for coffee. Give the caffeine addict in your life a set of mugs, like these Lenox Naughty and Nice mugs. You can even go bigger and upgrade their coffee corner with a stainless percolator. I found this one from Bella even cheaper in store! The sweater of the season is the cozy chenille pullover, and thanks to its thick fabric and loose shape it is easy to gift. All hail the ever-flattering relaxed fit! I have been dying to find one, and the seam down the front secured this Style & Co. mustard option as my must have. It makes a great gift for the same reasons I love it, and can be easily paired with some comfy socks for a toasty way to stay on trend. It's the perfect gift for your favorite techie that requires no technical knowledge! Why try to remember if they use Android or iPhone when you can grab a present that works regardless of brand AND requires no cords? The hipster of speakers, this phone amplifier acts like a speaker for your phone without any power. Ready to start shopping? Enter the giveaway below for your chance to win one of two $00 Macy's gift cards from Macy's South County. Good luck, and stay tuned for more giveaways this week! Macy's! The quintessential store for the holiday spirit. Excited to win this one! I would buy a winter scarf or mittens! I would use it for Christmas presents, most likely clothes for my 00 year old who loves Macy's lines of clothing!! Thanks! I would purchase a pair of boots if I wont the $00 gift certificate! Either a new purse or boots. I would love to hit their makeup counters! I would buy myself a winter coat! I would get a new pair of walking shoes. I would buy a jacket with the gift card. I would buy a new dress. I would buy an new pair of boots. I would probably buy myself a new jacket or some boots. I am going to buy some soft cozy new pajamas! I would buy my Mom some pajamas.

Today we had our second follow-up appointment with Dr. Nelson. It was nice to see how happy he and the assisting surgeon were with the results of Amaya's surgery. He said the incisions had healed well and the knee now has the same function as the right one does. This is amazing! Her knee no longer dislocates, or buckles. This use to cause her to fall quite often. He wants to see her in six weeks to follow up with her progress and then again in six months to plan for the next surgery. By her next appointment she should be done with her physical therapy. Physical therapy will be three times a week for a month. He was quite happy with how much movement and mobility she had in her knee. Physical therapy will help strengthen her muscles and increase her ability to bend and straighten her knee. He thinks that the next surgery (when he lengthens the femur and releases the muscles in her hip) will happen in about a year or so. They don't typically perform that surgery between the ages of four and six, because cognitively it is a lot for a child that age to handle. And since their is a lot of physical therapy (usually two hours a day), time (about nine months for the lengthening process) and work involved with the next surgery he said he might wait until she is six and a half or seven. He's hoping he can get all of the lengthening done in one surgery, but there is a limit to how much lengthening they do in one surgery. It's usually about three inches, and Amaya will need about four to five. While waiting for Dr. Nelson, the assistant surgeon was talking with us and admitted to not knowing what to expect at this point in her recovery, because only a few surgeons know how to perform the super knee procedure. We are very fortunate to have Dr. Nelson so close to us and to have such good insurance that allows us to see him for treatment. Again, thank you to friends and family for your continued support along this journey, that Josh and I sum up with one word, intense.

The Scout Programs of Adventure Scouts USA, as a part of its Personal Achievement Program, provide all of our Scouts the opportunity to personally achieve to the level they aspire to. We have developed criteria and standards of performance that permit each of our Scouts to earn personal achievements on an inclusive and fully non-discriminatory basis. Our Scouts can launch rockets, climb mountains, and explore far away places. Each of our Scouts, if they choose to earn the requirements, can earn the highest award in their Scout Program. The highest award in the North Star Scout Program is the Challenger Award. The North Star Scout Program has its own personal achievement program. To progress in our Personal Achievement Programs, Scouts need to earn a certain number of Challenges as well as other requirements. Other requirements include base requirements, true proficiency in first aid and outdoors skills, use of P.O.L.E., a planning tool, and completing either the Religious or Ethics Recognition Program. As a part of each Challenge, the Scout is expected to demonstrate to their fellow Scouts their efforts. These demonstrations permit each Scout to uniquely demonstrate the quality of their efforts. By doing the demonstrations, the Scout acquires greater self-confidence and improves their public speaking and communication skills. The demonstrations also enable their fellow Scouts to learn by doing, with the Scout helping the other Scouts to have a hands-on experience. Demonstrations may take any form that is appropriate. Challenges are evaluated by their fellow Scouts during the Did and Do portion of team meetings. Did and Do takes place during nearly every team meeting. For instance, special team meetings that have a single focus likely will not have Did and Do as a scheduled portion of the team meeting. Generally fifteen minutes are allowed for each session, however in cases where more time or space are needed, for example, a Challenge involving building and launching a rocket, arrangements are made so the Scout can fully demonstrate their skill. During the Did and Do session, a Scout is evaluated by their fellow Scouts. Often there are several different demonstrations going on at the same time, and Scouts may choose which to evaluate. Outdoor skills is also something we emphasize in our Personal Achievement Programs. Outdoor Skills are skills our Scouts develop which help them be safe in the outdoors and have FUN. As our Scouts become increasingly more comfortable in the outdoors, the skills they acquire become more complex. The American Camp Association has developed a set of skills they encourage all youth to become familiar with over a course of time, called Outdoor Living Skills, and we use their standards in our Scout Programs. We also instill an appreciation in our Scouts about minimum impact camping.

The 000 Series Liquid Filter Bags contain 00-00 sq. Ft. of usable Filter Media (depending on micron). This compares with only 0.0 sq. ft. for most filter bags. This bag is available in a standard Size #0. This bag can also absorb unwanted trace oils that frequently occur in processed fluids. The high amount of surface area due to the Polypropylene microfiber construction, results in oil holding capacities from 00-00x the filter's own weight. Polypropylene Microfiber materials provide high efficiencies at low a micron rating. The optional addition of a needed punched felt layer provides a prefilter one and results in extended life. This multilayer technology option results in a true graded density material with high performance levels.

Mocopan decides - Sydney or Melbourne? As part of our quest to discover which city does coffee better we spoke to Mocopan's Trent Kiner. As a Sydneysider can we trust your judgement to be fair and unbiased? Trying to discover which city has the best coffee and café scene has plagued me in the same way it's plagued the rest of Australia's coffee community. For this reason I promise to not let my residency choices corrupt the integrity of this investigation. Thanks Trent, Mocopan has a pretty big presence all over Australia, what's special about Melbourne? Well Mocopan can trace its origins back to Melbourne, when Monici, Coppercini and Panettieri installed one of the first roasting facilities in Australia. The three Italian immigrants set up shop in Preston, Melbourne in 0000 - we're still roasting our beans in Preston today. Monici, Coppercini, Panettieri - I just realised how the name Mocopan came to be. Any other fun facts about Mocopan's history you can share? You may not know that, although Mocopan now focuses primarily on roasting and wholesaling delicious coffee beans for cafés all over the country, there once was a time when we forayed into the instant coffee scene. For a little while we even made coffee-in-a-can. Sounds delicious. So we've discovered that Melbourne holds a special place in the Mocopan family's heart, how is Sydney important? I'm based at Mocopan's Seven Hills, NSW office which is obviously where much of the company's creative genius takes place. Does that mean you guys are responsible for coming up with fresh ideas for MICE each year? In 0000 we celebrated 00 years of Mocopan so we made MICE a big party. This year lots of people put their hands up with great ideas - including one of our NSW Trainers who shaved her head for the World's Greatest Shave. It is a collaborative effort! Can you reveal anything that might be in the works for The Coffee Experience? I can't reveal too much...we're looking forward to cheering on the coffee chains in the new competitions though. Finally, who does coffee better? Melbourne or Sydney? Sorry guys, I can't choose - depends on which city I'm in at the time!

Syphilis is not as common as some sexually transmitted infections but can cause serious health problems if left untreated. Symptoms and signs can be difficult to recognise. Early signs (primary symphilis) include skin sores which are usually painless. The will appear 0-0 weeks after contact with the infection (although they may appear sooner). It is important to get tested as soon as possible. Depending on the time frame, if the first test is negative a repeat test will be arranged at a later date. Syphilis is usually treated with an injection of antibiotics (or tablets). At 0fivetwo we provide diagnosis and treatment for syphilis. Call us today on 0000 00 00 000 to book an appointment.

Let's talk about dealing with cat allergies. Are you sick of always having to go out to meet friends or family members because they are allergic to your cat? Looking for information on dealing with cat allergies? You always have to go to their house or out to restaurants. You can never hosts parties at your house or they won't be able to come. This can be annoying and frustrating, but you don't want to lose your friend or your cat. So, what can you do? This article occurs tips on things you can do to reduce the affects of cat allergies so you can have people over your house again. Obviously, the best thing to do is keep your cat away from the area where you will have people over. Your cat will have to be confined to a different area of your home for the entire day of the party so you have time to clean everything. Keep all of your cat's toys, bed, food, etc. with them. That brings us to the next step. Lots of cleaning will have to be done. Vacuum your carpet and furniture thoroughly. Shake out, wash, or remove rugs, curtains, blankets and things that could have cat hair on them. Wipe down tables and countertops. You may also want to use a duster on other things, because not only dust, but cat hair will stick to the duster. Clean anything that could have cat hair, dander, or saliva on it because that's what allergies are actually caused by. Purchase an air purifier if you plan to have guests with cat allergies over often. An air purifier will help keep allergens out of the air. You can also try to regularly brush or bathe your cat to get rid of any loose hair and dander. Following these tips, you can entertain at your house and hopefully not have anyone leave because they are suffering from cat allergies.

Wisconsin state Senator Kathleen Vinehout was involved in a car wreck Sunday morning en route to Milwaukee, a member of her staff told The Progressive. The likely gubernatorial candidate's condition was unclear at time of this story's publication. The staffer said that Vinehout appeared to have injured her arm, and that they were headed to a nearby hospital. There are reports of multiple accidents around Wisconsin, with some counties advising people not to travel if they don't have to. The freeways appear to be the worst as a light, fluffy snow is making roads slippery and treacherous. If you have to go out, please be careful and take your sweet time. Should have taken the state plane, like Walker does when he goes between Milwaukee and Madison. In all seriousness, hope she's OK. We need her voice in the 0000 election cycle. Plane? Don't say that. I already had a Wellstone flashback when I heard about her crash. Please keep us up to date! We are praying for Kathleen and any others who may have been hurt. She is truly a state treasure, as a state senator or as governor.

Since I'm so busy during the week, I usually do all of my cooking on Monday evenings. I prepare all of my dinners, lunches and snacks a head of time. It helps me ensure I eat healthy and it saves me money by not eating out for lunch and if I know I have something healthy already made in the fridge at home than 0 times out of 00 I will go home and eat. Here is what my grocery cart looked like. I was so proud of myself! Minus that bottle of wine in the corner.... I covered this recipe in detail in my previous post. This recipe is so simple, it should be a crime. After you take it out, squeeze fresh lemon over your salmon and veggies. This recipe is super simple. Since the Quorn comes frozen, I placed it in the microwave for a few seconds so it would thaw. You can cook it in a skillet with a little olive oil and seasoning as well. I diced my Quorn and placed it in a bowl, then I added 0 tbs of low fat mayo ,0 tbs of Dijon mustard ,0 tsp fresh lemon juice, 0 tbs of chopped green onion (I nixed the celery). Mix it with a spoon and salt and pepper to taste. Boom, done. For the entire meal, use 0 whole wheat tortilla, some a little green leaf lettuce and a few spoonfuls of myVegetarian "Chicken" Salad. I ate it with a side of steamed veggies. It's a quick, healthy lunch. I usually cut this recipe in half. This full recipe will make 0 pizzas. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 0 or 0 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool spot for about 00 minutes to an hour. Set your oven to 000 degrees. If you cut the recipe in half, place half of your dough on a baking sheet sprayed with PAM. Roll it out with a rolling pin (if you don't have one use a round glass cup) roll it as thin as you can without any holes. Then use a fork to poke holes in the dough. drizzle with a little olive oil to make the edges brown in the oven. Place it in the oven for 0 minutes to ensure the center cooks and gets a little crispy. Then top your flat bread with your marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella and sliced tomatoes and bake at 000 for another 00 minutes. After you remove the pizza from the oven, top with fresh basil. Hopefully my weekly menu gave you some fresh, healthy recipe inspiration! Thanks for the recipes. I'm pescatarian and I often get bored with my meals. These gave me some fresh ideas. BTW, I love Quorn products - they totally beat soy products (which I avoid like the plague). Yes! I love them too. I was able to get Whitney in love with them as well. 🙂 Thanks for your feedback. Like the other comments, thanks for the recipe ideas. Always looking for new suggestions/ideas. These help a lot. I'm the only one in my family who doesn't eat chicken or red meat. I'll substitue the eggs for tofu. Thanks.

North Dakota's energy boom led the state to have the fastest-growing economy in 0000, increasing at five times the national average. Propelled by a massive energy boom, North Dakota once again captured the title of the nation's hottest economy, with a growth rate five times the national average. North Dakota's economy posted a 00.0% growth rate in 0000, according to a report released Thursday by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That's nearly three times as fast as the number two state, Texas, and trounces the national average of 0.0%. This is the third year in a row that North Dakota took the top spot in BEA's state-by-state report on gross domestic product (GDP). The muscle behind the boom is a surge in oil production from the Bakken Shale, an underground rock formation in the northwestern part of the state. Thanks to high oil prices and new drilling technology -- including the controversial hydraulic fracturing, better known as "fracking" -- oil production in North Dakota is now six times higher than it was in 0000. In 0000, North Dakota surpassed Alaska and California to become the second largest oil-producing state in the nation behind Texas, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The boom has attracted workers from all over the country and rippled out to incorporate not only the oil and gas drilling sectors but also other industries that supply them, including wholesale goods and transportation. "There's nothing like an oil boom to get things rolling," North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple told CNNMoney. Unlike some other states, North Dakota has a tax specifically targeting oil and gas production. That tax has allowed the state government to cover 00% of the cost of public schools, greatly reducing property taxes on the local level, Dalrymple said. It also allowed for a reduction in state income taxes, and covered the cost of building roads and other infrastructure to accommodate the influx of workers. There are still downsides to the rapid growth. Housing prices in parts of the state are as high as Manhattan, and some areas are having problems obtaining enough water. But the state's unemployment rate is below 0%, and North Dakota is "hanging on to our college graduates like we never have before," Dalrymple said. Oil and gas is the biggest economic driver, but Dalrymple said his state is also doing a good job attracting other industries. Deere & Co. (DE) and Caterpillar (CAT) are building factories in the state, and an Amazon (AMZN) service center is also in the works. The second fastest-growing state was Texas, which benefited from oil and gas activity in its own shale formations as well as a strong showing in its manufacturing sector. In fact, the manufacturing of durable goods -- things that last longer than three years, such as cars, appliances or software -- grew by more than 0% nationwide in 0000, according the BEA. It was the leading contributor to growth in 00 states, the bureau said. In Oregon -- the third fastest-growing state -- manufacturing contributed almost 0 percentage points to the state's GDP. Computers and electronics dominate Oregon's manufacturing industry, with Intel (INTC) in particular leading the way, said Josh Lehner, a state economist. The company has been expanding its chip manufacturing plants, as well as its research and development unit in the state. Washington and Minnesota rounded out the five fastest-growing states. Washington's growth was led by tech and manufacturing, while manufacturing and finance fueled Minnesota's. The laggards: Connecticut was the only state to see an actual drop in economic activity, with its gross domestic product falling by 0.0%. Connecticut has a large insurance and finance sector, which posted a fairly sharp decline. Economists have said growth in the insurance and finance industry will likely lag other sectors as the market continues to adapt to the fallout of the 0000 financial crisis. The Dodd-Frank finance reform bill, the implementation details of which are still being worked out, is also expected to limit the sector's growth. Delaware was the second slowest-growing state, dragged down by contractions in the construction and wholesale trade sectors. New Mexico, the fourth slowest-growing state, also saw a decline in its construction sector. Declining construction activity was not the norm nationwide. Construction activity grew by 0.0% across the country in 0000, BEA said -- the first annual growth posted by the sector in eight years. South Dakota was also a slow-growing state, and had the sector with the biggest single drop: agriculture, which knocked 0 percentage points off the state's GDP growth. South Dakota is a big cattle-producing state. The drought in the summer of 0000 pushed up the prices of corn and other grains, squeezing profits for ranchers that use the crops for feed.

I'm so excited to be a new member of #SundaySupper, a great group of bloggers trying to Bring Back Sunday Supper Around the Family Table led by Isabel of Family Foodie. This week we are teaming up with LAND O LAKES® to create Simple and Fresh Summer Recipes using their new product, LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt. About LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt: LAND O LAKES® is expanding its popular line of half-stick butter with the introduction of LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt. This new product contains wholesome ingredients: sweet cream, olive oil and sea salt. LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt is an easy and convenient way to simply enhance the flavor of your favorite foods. Available in a premeasured half-stick size, this new product can be used for topping and cooking a variety of foods, combining the two ingredients consumers often combine separately when frying or sautéing foods. The delicious taste of butter and olive oil will add delicious flavor to any dish. The recipe I chose comes from one of my favorite cuisines, Indian. My favorite recipe by far is my Indian Butter Chicken (Chicken Makhani) but this recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala is just as fabulous and so much easier to prepare! I grilled the marinated chicken on skewers which gave it such a wonderful flavor! When summer rolls around, I just want to grill everything! You could either grill on an outdoor or indoor grill. In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, 0 teaspoons cumin, 0 teaspoon garam masala, cayenne, black pepper, and ginger. Stir in chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 0 hour and up to 00 hours. Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and jalapeno for 0 minute. Season with 0 teaspoons cumin, paprika, and 0 teaspoon garam masala. Stir in tomato sauce and cream. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 00 minutes. Add grilled chicken, and simmer for 00 minutes. Taste for salt. Transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with fresh cilantro if you'd like. *If not using LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt, you may need a bit additional salt. This recipe is pretty spicy (just the way I like it). If you don't like things as spicy, use less or omit the cayenne pepper and/or ground black pepper. And now to the GIVEAWAY! One lucky reader will receive a coupon for a free package of LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt! All you have to do is answer this question: What is your favorite recipe made with Butter? A winner will be chosen by random on Wednesday, June 00th at 0:00AM PST. I received a full-value coupon redeemable for LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt, for recipe development and review purposes. All opinions are my own. I LOVE chicken tika masala and haven't made it in forever! Yours looks awesome - great choice for this week's theme! Your chicken tika masala looks amazingly delicious! The chicken in this dish looks AMAZING!!! I'm pinning this one for me to make sometime soon! Chicken Tikka Masala is one of my very favorite things to eat.

00% of users found this page helpful Was this page helpful? 0. Scene Recognition: This is the first step to crime scene investigation and it involves approaching a crime scene in an organized matter in order to determine the size and extent of it. They must ensure that any possible evidence is not compromised in anyway thus they must determine the resources and equipment needed to successful collect evidence in the next phase. 0. Scene Documentation: This stage of CSI involves documenting and processing physical evidence in which case must be accurate and factual. The collection of evidence is done through note taking, diagrams, reports, photographs, and sketches. 0. Collection of Evidence: This is the portion of the job where actual physical evidence is collected. This is done through careful technical and scientific methods to ensure it is preserved as unchanged as possible so that it can later be examined with accuracy. The most common level of degree pursued is a four-year bachelor's degree, as most employers strictly hire candidates with a strong educational background. Even upon graduation, graduates will often need to go through extensive on-the-job training before they are able to work outside of supervision. Professionals often seek post-graduate training when they are interested in holding higher specialized positions within the field. Students enrolled in an associate degree program can graduate with their degree in just two years. This level of program will open up entry-level opportunities for graduates in local, state, and federal agencies. Individuals interested in earning their associate's degree must have a high school diploma or a GED equivalent. Most programs will also require that the applicant take a placement exam to ensure they are placed in the right classes. Students will take part in training that covers both forensic science and criminal justice, which is often comprised of 00-credit hours. Key coursework includes classes like introduction to crime scene technology, crime scene safety, introduction to forensic science, latent fingerprint development, fingerprint classification, courtroom presentation of scientific evidence, and crime scene photography. Students will also be required to complete general education courses. Annual cost of tuition and range from as little as $0,000 to $00,000. This is the most common route that students take in order to start their CSI career. First time freshmen will finish with their bachelor's degree in four years while students who have already earned their associate's degree can finish in two years. The curriculum at this level will cover a variety of topics including the human body's response to trauma, laboratory techniques, and the proper treatment of evidence. Student will participate in classes including homicide investigation I & II, the investigation of white-collar crime, survey of chemistry, introduction to environmental science, and criminal procedure. Students will also spend a lot of time in the lab going over mock crime scene exercises. This fieldwork will give students the hands-on experience they will need to be successful as professionals. Graduates will have to opportunity to go on to work for law enforcement agencies as well as crime labs. Typical job titles include police officer, crime laboratory analyst, and forensic pathologist. In order to qualify for bachelor's degree program applicants must have a high school diploma or a GED. Applicants who have earned college credit will also be required to submit their college transcripts during the admissions process in which they will then be evaluated and considered for transfer credit. The annual tuition for the level of program will vary depending on school of attendance. Private school tuition averages around $00,000 while public school tuition averages around $0,000. A master's degree in crime scene investigation is designed for individuals who are looking to increase their proficiency in forensic sciences. Over the course of two years students will be involved in rigorous scientific training by participating in classes such as science of fingerprints, forensic pathology, medico legal death investigation, bloodstain pattern analysis, firearms and tool mark identification, and digital image processing. Many graduates go on to work as forensic science technicians and hold leadership positions, which can result in higher pay. Individuals who are interested in participating in a master's program must have a bachelor's degree with as least one semester in chemistry and one semester in biology. Respectful GRE scores will also be necessary for admission. Applicants must write a statement of purpose outlining their educational and career goals. Most programs will also require that applicants submit a reference letter from a previous professor or professional mentor who can attest to the applicant's likely success in the program. The total cost of tuition for a master's degree program can range from $00,000 to $000,000 depending on the school being attended. Individuals who wish to build upon their knowledge and skills as crime scene investigators will find that a doctorate degree in forensic science will aid them in their career aspirations whether they be in research or teaching. Students will be immersed in extensive study of forensic science, which will take them five to seven years to complete. Doctoral curriculum includes classes such as crime scene reconstruction, criminal law & ethics, forensic trace analysis, quality management in forensic science, forensic serology, and human molecular biology. Students will also have to write and defend a dissertation, which is usually done towards the end of their studies. Individuals who are interested in doctoral programs will need to have a master's degree in forensic science or a similar field as a background in biology and chemistry is important. Applicants will also need to showcase their work experience therefore a professional resume will be required for admission. The applicant will also need to submit two letters of recommendation from professional or educational references who can attest to the applicant's prior achievements within the field of forensic science. Depending on whether the student is attending a public or private school the total cost of tuition will vary from $00,000 to $000,000. Accreditation plays an important role in the educational process and it should be considered prior to making a commitment to any college or program. For school accreditation, there is either national or regional accreditation. Regional accreditation is awarded by six regional agencies to four-year university institutions. National accreditation is usually limited to vocational or trade schools. Accreditation takes place to ensure that a program is offering the highest quality of education possible to the students involved. By participating in an accredited program students can rest assured that they are being well prepared for their future careers. Accreditation also provides the opportunity for students to seek federal financial aid as it is not available to non-accredited programs. Lastly, students who wish to move on to graduate programs or simply change institutions will want to seek accreditation as it make the transfer process much simpler. Certification within the field of crime scene investigation is not required, however, it has become a commonplace. Individuals can voluntarily seek certification through three major associations, which will ultimately set them apart from their peers during hiring and advancement opportunities. Individuals seeking certification through the ICSIA must have at least two years experiencing working with crimes scenes for a law enforcement agency. They must also poses no less than 00 hours of post-secondary courses. After the requirements have been met the applicant will be eligible to take the written exam administered by the ICSIA, which consists of 000 questions. The applicant will also take another written exam consisting of a mock crime scene that will test proper processing and handling protocols. The minimum requirements to become certified under the IAI includes at least one year in crime-scene related activities and that applicant must have completed at least 00-hours of CSI board-approved instruction within the last five years. If the candidate meets all minimum requirements they will then be eligible to take the exam, which they must pass with at least a 00 percent. Candidates must also submit two letters of endorsement. In order to take the certification exam administered by the ACFEI the candidate must be at least 00 years old. In addition the candidate must have an associate's degree with four years of work experience, a bachelor's degree with two years of work experience, or seven years of work experience in lieu of a degree. The field of crime scene investigation can be somewhat broad therefore there are several different routes that a professional can take depending on their personal strengths and interests. Individuals can prepare for these areas of specialty by taking classes that will support them during their college studies. Crime Laboratory Analyst: These types of professionals are forensic scientists that analyze crime scene evidence in labs to help identify the right suspect. They use principles of genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology to aid them in their investigations. Forensic Engineer: Forensic engineering is the investigation of materials, products, or structures that fail and in which case cause personal injury or property damage. Forensic engineers are most often used in product liability cases. Medical Examiner: Medical examiners are forensic doctors who perform autopsies in order to figure out an individual's cause of death. A medical degree is required for this field of work. Forensic Psychologist: This specific specialty merges the field of psychology with law. Forensic psychologists often work in court settings and evaluate the mental state of criminals and victims.

Many thanks to spinmeister for creating such an amazing remix of BWT's Hayburner - it gave me a chance to remix the remix! I cut up his arrangement a bit and treated it here and there. Please listen in headphones, as on a laptop the mood-making low-end disappears. I don't have working monitors so this is a headphone mix and may need some leveling. Input is welcome.

Shannon Kraiger makes an appearance on D00 Talk Radio to discuss how SRT's Coaching model can be of great benefit to speakers as they hone their speeches. Our resident Powerpoint and digital presentation expert Tom Nixon has a new project creating 0-Minute Speaker Coaching on his website Ready0Speak.com. This is from his video series, 0 Minute Speaker Coaching. Have you ever wondered what the difference between coaching and evaluation is, in terms of public speaking? Think for a moment about a story you tell friends or coworkers about something that happened to you. Were they engaged throughout the entire story? Did they ask you questions afterwards Or did they lose interest and steer the conversation in a new direction? How long did it take for you to get to the point? At Speakers Roundtable we do things a little bit differently than other Toastmasters Advanced Clubs. We use a model of coaching speakers rather than the standard evaluation model. Accredited Speaker Ron Chapman discusses the qualities of leadership essential to a thriving Toastmasters Club at the District 00 TLI Conference 0000. Join us for an excellent workshop on how to create Killer Content that will keep your audience engaged and make an impact. Storytelling as a mentoring tool has been around forever... well, I say that because there's a Biblical record of the prophet Nathan telling Kind David the story of two men, a rich dude and a poor dude, and about the rich dude took something precious from the poor dude which enraged David... and then Nathan dropped the moral of the story on David, that he was the rich man. The story was the vehicle to demonstrate for David why he was in the wrong... and if you know the story, you know he was DEFINITELY in the wrong - like adultery and murder wrong! Shannon Kraiger delivers her professional speech "Bad Boys, Bunnies, and Bangkok". Amy Magner delivers her professional speech at Speakers Roundtable Toastmasters as part of our special format for the evening. Tackling the fear of public speaking is the same as stepping into the gym for the first time. You walk into a room full of strangers who all seem to know what they are doing and they make it all look and sound so simple. "These people are experts on everything", you might say to yourself at first blush, but all of these people have the same thing in common with you; they all started from zero just like you. Coaching session for Tierson's speech "I Believe" Tom Nixon "Remember The Titans" Storytelling continues to be integral to who we are, and mastering telling a great story is a great way to connect with any audience. But how do we craft a great story? And what delineates a great story from a not-so-great story? After all, we've probably all had the experience of hearing or reading a story that just didn't work. Speakers Roundtable Toastmasters pays tribute to our hosts at Campbell-Stone Senior Center with Tall Tales and Scary Stories to celebrate Halloween.

Hinode is the third Japanese satellite for the observations of the Sun, following Hinotori (launched in 0000) and Yohkoh (launched in 0000). Hinode was launched on September 00, 0000, and has been continuously operated till today. The scientific objectives of the Hinode mission are to investigate how the Sun's surface layer behaves dynamically and interacts with the magnetic field, and how the upper atmosphere of the Sun is heated to high temperatures in responding to the activities in the surface layers. The largest instrument onboard Hinode is the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), a 00 cm aperture optical telescope. SOT is the largest space-borne telescope ever flown and has an angular resolution of 0.0 arcsec (about 000 km on the Sun). With its unprecedented resolving power, the Hinode/SOT has discovered many new phenomena. The cover photograph (top) shows thread-like structures (called prominences) which are observed at a wavelength of 000.0 nm emitted by the singly-ionized calcium ions. These threads represent cool plasmas with a temperature of around 000 K, floating in the hot corona of 0×000 K. A time series data show that they oscillate up and down with a period of 0-0 minutes, and their amplitude of oscillation is 000-0000 km. As the threads are believed to delineate the magnetic field lines in the corona, the observed motion implies magnetic waves. Using the estimated density and the magnetic field strength, the wavelength of this oscillation is found to be 0.0×000 km (00% of solar radius), which is much larger than the horizontal size of the observing region of 00000 km so that the threads oscillate nearly in phase all over their length in the field of view. In this volume (pp.00-00), Takashi Sakurai summarizes the researches related to the heating of the solar corona to its million-degree temperature (cover photograph, bottom). In regions of weak magnetic fields, waves can carry the energy to heat the corona. In regions of strong magnetic fields, mechanisms more directly related to the interaction of magnetic fields (the so-called magnetic reconnection) might be the main source of energy. Heating by waves was the oldest idea of coronal heating, but had given way to the reconnection-based models and was less popular until recently. The revival of the wave heating theory is one of the significant contributions of Hinode in solar physics.

I am wondering how to populate new entity classes to database file, so that I could add new instances of these entities to database through explorer. I tried to run com.objectdb.Doctor with model.jar (my entity classes in it) in classpath but it doesn't work (new entities still dont show up in explorer). Could it be possible to add that kind of feature in next relase ? You are right that this feature should be added. The new entity class should be added.

The newest and most expensive carrier ever entered the U.S. Navy fleet Saturday, nearly three years behind schedule and costing about $0.0 billion above plan. When building the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier, the Navy ditched battle-tested features found on previous carriers and instead went with more expensive technology that hasn't always worked out as expected. The ship isn't expected to be fully operational until at least 0000, and its controversial catapult system hasn't launched an actual aircraft at sea. In this handout photo provided by the U.S. Navy, sailors aboard the aircraft carrier Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Gerald R. Ford (CVN 00) man the rails as the ship departs Huntington Ingalls Industries Newport News Shipbuilding for builder's sea trials off the U.S. East Coast on April 0, 0000 in Newport News, Virginia. The newest and most expensive aircraft carrier ever built entered the U.S. Navy fleet Saturday, but almost three years behind schedule and billions of dollars over its estimated budget. With Saturday's commissioning, the carrier will go back into testing and training, and isn't expected to be fully operational until 0000 at the earliest. The ship's catapult has yet to launch an actual aircraft at sea and the vessel has only had helicopters land on its deck. Although it has yet to be put to the test, some already say the USS Gerald R. Ford is an example of the Navy's costly and risky bet on "immature" technology. Experts say the Navy's decision to roll out some untested technologies in its next-generation classes of ships has been a costly lesson. For example, the new Ford aircraft carrier going into the Navy fleet cost nearly $00 billion, or around $0.0 billion above plan. The Navy "made a significant bet on the newest and latest cutting-edge technology, and it bet that all of those technologies would mature as these platforms were scheduled to come online," said Jerry Hendrix, senior fellow and director of the Defense Strategies and Assessments Program at the Center for a New American Security, a non-partisan Washington think tank. Hendrix added, "Unfortunately some of those technologies did not mature. Hence, we're seeing some delays in some critical programs, including the new Ford-Class carrier." Although years behind schedule, the Ford carrier was formally commissioned into the Navy's fleet Saturday in a ceremony in Virginia, which was attended by President Donald Trump. The president had previously visited the carrier in March. In remarks Saturday, Trump called the Ford carrier "the newest, largest and most advanced aircraft carrier in the history of this world." When building the new Ford carrier, the Navy ditched the steam-powered catapult system found on the older Nimitz-Class carriers and went instead with a electro-magnetic aircraft launch system. Similarly, the Navy went with an updated arresting gear to catch planes landing on the ship's deck. The Ford is the first new design of an aircraft carrier in 00 years. Last month, acting Navy Secretary Sean Stackley conceded costs of the carriers were tough to swallow, but insisted the service (and shipbuilding industry) planned to learn from past missteps. Meanwhile, the maker of the new digital catapult, General Atomics, claims on its webpage the system's benefits include a "reduced manning and life-cycle cost." The technology replaced the battle-tested steam catapult that had been used for decades to launch planes. As it turns out, though, the commander-in-chief is not at all a fan of the supercarrier's technology. In a May interview, Trump told Time magazine in an interview that the new digital power system "costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it's no good." Similarly, the Navy has faced cost overruns and other problems with other new classes of warships, including internal electrical issues with the Zumwalt-class destroyer, and struggles with the controversial Littoral Combat Ship program. Trump alluded to military costs and program delays in his remarks Saturday, but didn't single out the Ford carrier. "We do not want cost overruns," the president said. "We want the best equipment but we want it built ahead of schedule and we want it built under budget." Mandy Smithberger, director of the Straus Military Reform Project at the Project On Government Oversight, said some of the mistakes made by the Navy on big-ticket programs have been self-inflicted. The service's tendency to "develop really complex technology that's expensive to maintain and not reliable," has been a major drawback. Added Smithberger, "It's not necessarily that it's new technology but it's immature - so it has to be proven technology." Some analysts said the new ideas for the next-generation ships originated in the 0000s, when there was a "go for broke" mindset by some decision makers. In the case of the Ford-Class carrier, the Navy decided to make all of the key changes in new technology upfront on the first ship in the class, rather than wait for successive carriers. The Navy plans to spend around $00 billion on the first three Ford-Class aircraft carriers. At the same time, the Navy and other services have faced fiscal challenges due to the ongoing effect of the budget caps signed into law six years ago. "The Budget Control Act, as far as it pertains to defense, was wrong-minded and that should not have been systematically reducing defense spending," said Brian Slattery, a policy analyst for national security at Washington-based Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. He also said the inability of Congress to pass regular budgets is "very disruptive" to Navy and other service programs. For the Navy, though, the budget situation is particularly pressing because of Trump's stated goal for a larger Navy fleet. As a GOP candidate last year, Trump pledged the Navy would build 000 surface ships and submarines. He has since accepted the Navy's new force structure goal of a fleet of 000 ships - up from the battle force of 000 ships as of Friday. However, reaching the Navy goal could cost approximately $000 billion more over 00 years than the service's previously stated force goal of 000 ships, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Based on CBO's calculations, the Navy would need to buy around 000 new ships over 00 years to reach the 000-ship fleet. That compares with the 000 ships it estimates would be bought under the Navy's prior force goal. "Cost is probably the biggest challenge reaching the larger fleet size," said Smithberger. "You'd have to increase Pentagon spending a lot to afford everything that they're trying to buy. It will require cutting other services or other Navy priorities, including airplanes." Yet the time it will take to reach a 000-ship Navy also is a concern, given signs the Chinese are aggressively ramping up their own naval forces. Separately, Russia is undergoing a modernization plans of its own, including adding advanced nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines to its fleet. "The Chinese are coming hard, meaning they are going for mass numbers and new advanced technology," said Hendrix, of the Center for a New American Security. "The Russians have made decisions to invest in fairly exquisite platforms, like the new Yasen-Class submarine, a nuclear powered, fast-attack boat which is very advanced," he added. "And if they got two or three of those loose in the Atlantic, and we didn't know where they were, it would cause real complications for the United States as well as NATO." In April, the nonpartisan CBO estimated the earliest the Navy could reach the 000-ship goal was by 0000, though it cautioned that 00-year buildup forecast was based on the service getting "sufficient funding." The CBO also estimates the cost to build, crew and operate the larger fleet would average $000 billion annually through 0000. Regardless, Hendrix suggests there is perhaps a faster way to reach the 000-ship fleet size but not necessarily by adding newly constructed ships. Instead, he suggests the Navy might want to consider taking ships out of mothballs and keeping others in service longer to maintain the 000-ship fleet. Others are not so sure it makes sense to keep ships in the fleet longer than they are scheduled. "You can't just run the same ships well beyond their service lives to assume that you can keep up the same level of capability to deter our adversaries," said Slattery. Hendrix said another option to increase the size of the Navy fleet is to look at some vessels in the so-called Ready Reserve Force ships, which are maintained for national defense and emergencies. Either way, he believes there's an urgent need to reach that 000-ship target sooner rather than later. The retired Navy captain insisted the Navy should strive to reach the 000-ship fleet "within a decade in order to deter both the Chinese and Russians who are looking to challenge us at sea."

Bad Rabbit is a new strain of ransomware, disguised as an Adobe Flash installer, which is downloaded by unsuspecting victims from compromised websites. Experts claim that it is likely to be linked to the "ExPetr" attack, as much of the same code was used. Both strains also used the same list of domains for the attack and both used the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) to spread the malware. Unlike ExPetr, bad Rabbit doesn't use the EternalBlue vulnerability - a Microsoft Windows security vulnerability which allows an attacker to exploit a network file sharing protocol to read and write to files and request services. Instead, it uses a similar type of vulnerability called "EternalRomance", which exploits the same network file sharing protocol, but uses remote code execution (RCE). Most of the attacks targeted Russian news and media websites, although attacks have been reported in Ukraine, Turkey and Germany. The requested ransom is 0.00 bitcoin, which is $000 at the current exchange rate. However, evidence has yet to be accumulated regarding whether or not the attackers will decrypt the files once the ransom has been paid. How can organisations protect themselves from Bad Rabbit? There are a number of things you can do to help prevent the spread of Bat Rabbit in your IT infrastructure. Many of these apply to all (or at least most) strains of ransomware, so it's worth noting them down and referring to it the next time you see something like this pop up in your news feed. If possible, disable WMI service to prevent the malware spreading across your network. Only download software updates from a reliable source - i.e. directly from the software vendor. Make sure that your Anti-virus/malware software is kept up-to-date. Make sure that security patches are installed in a timely manner. Introduce network segmentation in order to help prevent the ransomware from spreading. For example, you may want to segregate assets such as databases, applications and POS systems. Ensure that you have email content scanning and filtering enabled on your mail servers. All attachment types that could pose a threat should be blocked. Always remember to keep backups! Only pay the ransom if you really must. Paying the ransom will only encourage further attacks, and there's no guarantee you will get your files back. In fact, security experts always advise against paying the ransom so only do this as a last resort.

Kerth, 00, was selected from 000 applicants to be the organization's new chief executive. He sits on the board of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District and is a scion of the Kerth family who founded the American Ice Co. and the Iceland skating rink in North Sacramento. He is responsible for the design of ice rinks in what's now called Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento and an outdoor rink at Squaw Valley's High Camp in 0000. Veteran nonprofit leader Pam Saltenberger, who served as Sacramento Habitat's interim CEO for about six months, said she and other members of the executive search team felt that Kerth's experience in the political arena would help the organization lead and navigate discussions about how governments and nonprofits can work together to ensure there's adequate housing for low-income residents. The loss of government funding is not the only challenge for the Sacramento Habitat, which has a budget of $0.0 million for the fiscal year ending in June. Nationwide, Habitat affilitates have begun hearing from some corporate sponsors that want their dollars stretched to help more than just one family. Habitat affiliates across the country have begun offering neighborhood revitalization programs, and the Sacramento-based organization launched its effort last year with a work project in West Sacramento. Habitat volunteers worked on several homes in one neighborhood, doing things like replacing building materials damaged by dry rot, painting homes, fixing or putting on new roofs. Kerth said that, as a community activist and politician, he's seen a new Habitat home turn around neighborhood decay as well. The Sacramento Habitat affiliate has begun to put particular emphasis on interfaith home-building projects, an endeavor that Saltenberg said has taken off with advocacy from board member Jeff vonKaenel, publisher of the Sacramento News & Review. Essentially, she and Kerth said, it's an opportunity for people of all faiths to sponsor a home, volunteer to work on a home-building project or do both. The idea is that, if people of all faiths can work beside each other for a common goal, they can share faith stories if they choose and gain understanding to stem the tide of any negative rhetoric that rises against one particular faith, Saltenberger said. And, they will be working side by side with the person selected to buy the Habitat home, said Kerth, who served on the Sacramento City Council from 0000-0000. He stressed that Habitat is not a giveaway program. Those who qualify to buy a home pay for it with their sweat equity and a no-interest mortgage. Their payments ensure that the organization can continue its mission.

MANSFIELD Town striker Ollie Palmer has joined the Mariners on an initial one-month loan deal - subject to FA, Football League and Football Conference clearance. The 00-year-old signed for the Stags for an undisclosed fee from Havant & Waterlooville and boasts a great pedigree having been voted as 'Player of the Year' in the Conference South in 0000/00, following an excellent season at H&W in which he finished as top scorer with 00 goals. Premiership side Chelsea were reported to have kept tabs on Palmer, who struck on 00 occasions in just 00 starts during his stay at Westleigh Park. However, it was at Woking where the youngster first began to carve out a reputation as a regular talisman, as he progressed through the youth ranks and made a handful of first team appearances. Palmer's best attributes are said to be his strength, style and technique. In total, he netted five goals in 00 appearances during his first season at Mansfield. Catch the first interview with Ollie on Mariners Player soon.

This is a staple recipe in any Japanese household. Even though the title says hamburger, it's not actually stuffed between two buns, but rather, served with rice, and in my case - vegetables! This is a traditional Japanese Westernised dish that's popular all over Japan and most it the time, served with demiglace sauce. Whatever you serve this with, I know you'll enjoy it! You can either choose to cook onions before putting them in the mixture, or opt to put them in raw. You can also use 000g of beef mince and cook patties until medium rare for an even juicer burger. Mix together pork and beef mince, salt, pepper and nutmeg until ‘tacky'. Add bread and egg yolk and mix again. Shape into patties once all ingredients are combined and heat oil in a pan. Put patties in a pan, but don't overcrowd it! Once bottom are browned, flip and put lid on pan to let them steam. You can either leave them in the pan until fully cooked, or put them in the oven for about 0 minutes until clear juices drain out of it. Serves with freshly cooked rice and vegetables.

The word Noor, for many people, brings to mind black or dark, especially coupled with the black motif inside the new jewelry store that bears the name. Maybe you’re thinking the word “noir?â€? Noor actually means light in Farsi (Persian), and is symbolic of friendship and the business union of owners Alexander Raissipour, a Persian American, and Adrian Bray, a British-born SLO transplant. The Noor specifically refers to a pair of infamous diamonds, the Dar-i-noor and the Koh-i-noor that are now part of the Persian and British crown jewels, respectively. OPEN FOR BUSSINESS : Alex Raissipour (right) and Adrien Bray (left) opened Noor, a jewelry store that specializes in one-of-a-kind pieces. # “We’ve been friends for quite a while and decided it would be good to go into business and work together,â€? Raissipour explained. You may recognize Raissipour’s faceâ€"it used to be the one smiling from behind the counter of Blazing Blenders. Bray, too, isn’t a newcomer to the SLO business scene. For more than 00 years, he’s operated in the financial-management field, and both men are involved with local Rotary. “We looked around, and this was perfect,â€? said Raissipour, who still owns the original smoothie shop. He was referring to the old Blazing Blenders storefront where Noor is now housed. Although Raissipour hasn’t yet announced the new location for Blazing Blenders, he said that it will find a new and permanent home downtown. The old smoothie counters cluttered with straws and stacked lids have been replaced with glass cases and shelves filled with treasures. The overall space is on the small side, but Raissipour insisted that it’s just the right size to give customers a positive experience. “One of the ideas in the design is that it puts the pieces very close to the customer,â€? he said. “You can see the piecesâ€"like in a museum.â€? Indeed, very little space is wasted, so the room actually holds much more than you would expect. There are quite a few original pieces in the showroom, including a collection of beautifully handcrafted stars of David, many of them fashioned by local artist Ron Wilson. The stars are uniqueâ€"and apparently not easy to find in our area. “We have been told, by many of our Jewish customers, that they could not find Jewish religious pieces,â€? Raissipour said with some amazement. Noor also carries other work by Wilson: large, earthy stones; twisted metal; and glass pieces. Noor also boasts a jeweler with more than 00 years’ experience. Raissipour noted a corner that’s now filled with chairsâ€"the future location of the shop’s bridal department, where customers can look at the intricacies of the stones and find encouragement toward involvement at all levels of the jewelry-making process. Raissipour acknowledged that SLO already has several jewelry storesâ€"especially in the downtown area-â€"but is positive that shoppers will find something new in his store. “We have a growing and highly affluent community,â€? he explained. He said that he sees the opportunity for SLO to become a jewelry-minded town and that it could be thought of as a destination for high-end jewelry and as a community that values art. Friday, July 0, marks eight weeks of business, which have surpassed expectations for Noor’s owners. To celebrate, Noor is hosting a reception with wine and cheese at SLO’s monthly Art After Dark, to promote local artists and the business as more than a place to buy a ring. Noor also plans to participate with different artists as a gallery for Art After Dark. The grand opening starts Friday and will continue every Friday between 0 and 0 p.m. at 0000 Broad St. For more info call: 000-0000.

Hundreds of Burmese migrant workers are queuing up in Mae Sot for passports and visas with a June 00 deadline approaching. The sun has already set on a rundown apartment building down a quiet narrow alley near the Mae Sot-Myawaddy border. A large group of Burmese migrant workers congregate outside. They have been waiting for the Thai agency to process their visas since the early afternoon. They already spent hours queuing up, in the hot summer sun, on the Friendship Bridge to get day passes to enter Thailand. The agency charged them 000 baht (US $00.00) for the pass, even though it officially only costs 00 baht. The agency is just one of dozens which have sprung up along the border in recent months, cashing on the looming June 00 deadline for National Verification. The new Thai law requires foreign workers from Burma, Cambodia and Laos to be legally registered to work in the country. Answering the call of a Thai labor crisis, thousands of Burmese workers cross into Mae Sot every day, hoping to earn a salary several times higher than in their native Burma. Along the highway leading to the Friendship Bridge, larger crowds of migrant workers wait outside other agencies. With bags in toe, scores of mini-buses wait to transport them to Bangkok and with them their dreams of making money. The scene is reminiscent of a gold rush. However in this scenario, where migrant workers can expect to pay 00 times the official fee (000 baht) for a one-year visa, it's obvious who the prospectors are and who is getting mined. Several years ago, the Thai government announced that all foreign workers must be registered or risk deportation. The deadline was extended several times after rights groups complained about the impracticalities of registering millions of migrant workers throughout the country. There are an estimated 0-0 million Burmese migrant workers in Thailand, making up about 0 percent of the total Thai work force. The annual remittance from Burmese nationals working overseas is more than $0.0 billion, Burma's Deputy Labour Minister Myint Thein told Thai press in April, following a meeting with Thai ministers to iron out the details for the implementation of the National Verification process, according to a Bangkok Post article. Ironically, he praised the significant contributions Burmese migrant workers had made to the country's economic growth. Some people wonder if the real reason Naypyidaw is supporting the National Verification process is to collect taxes from the millions of Burmese working abroad. Others, from ethnic areas where corruption by local authorities is still rampant, worry that the personal information they are required to provide to get a passport will be exploited to extort money from relatives back home. Sam Win is from Karen state. He used to work on a garbage truck in Bangkok, earning 000 baht ($0.00) a day. When heavy flooding ravaged Thailand's largest city causing a mass exodus of migrant workers, he had to leave without collecting his salary. Unfortunately, Sam Win was one of the thousands of migrant workers who got caught in a Thai police net on the way back to the border. Immigration officers delivered him to the Border Guard Force on the Thai side of the Myawaddy River, where he had to pay a 0,000-baht ($00) bribe or risk being sold to human traffickers. Nearly one year later, Sam Win finds himself sitting on a curb in Mae Sot, waiting three days for an agency to process his Thai visa. He is only a five-minute drive, by detention center truck, from the spot where the Thai police deported him. The Thai visa and Burmese passport cost him 00,000 baht, money he had to borrow to pay. Although Sam Win doesn't have a confirmed job in Bangkok, he hopes to return to his municipal employment. Before coming back to Thailand, he tried to make money in his village farming, but gave up because the earnings were too low. His relative, Tin Aung, who is also waiting for a Thai visa, does not have a job either. But he still paid 00,000 baht (over $000) for his Burmese passport and Thai visa because he was in a hurry. For the last eight years, Tin Aung worked on boats in Pattaya. Last month, with the National Verification deadline approaching, he decided to return to Burma to get his passport. "I didn't want to pay the human smugglers to travel back home so I turned myself in to Thai immigration, who deported me to the border," said Tin Aung. Now a month later, he is anxious to return to bangkok where his wife and daughter are waiting. Tin Aung couldn't afford to pay for their documents, which means after June 00, only he will able to legal in the family. Despite all the money he had to borrow to obtain his visa and passport, Tin Aung says he is "happy" to finally have legal status in Thailand. "The last time I worked here, I was always felt afraid of the police. Now I can go wherever I want. For the first time [in Thailand] I feel freedom," said Tin Aung.

The trouble with full time travelling, which I was doing for around a year and a half, is that you never get chance to catch up. I found this lurking in my draft pile, along with some other bits and pieces long forgotten, and thought I'd slot them in over the coming weeks when I'm maybe not doing a lot else. I'm glad I saved this with the photos, as I seem to have forgotten to back up a lot of my Turkey photos and they have disappeared with the demise of my last computer. Ah well; I still saw it all with my actual eyes. I was here in September 0000, so around 0 months ago. Dalyan was highly recommended; Lonely Planet raved about it and Rough Guide featured it in their Turquoise Coast suggested itinerary. I might suggest that the writers of both Lonely Planet and Rough Guides haven't been there for a while. I'm sure (say) five years ago it was a great place to go. Now every bit of it has become chock-a-block with restaurants, hotels and all the other paraphernalia that goes with the tourist industry. Seriously, people can't survive a 0-week holiday without their bacon and pork sausages? These were all over the place. It was quite touristy. After I'd booked I came across a blog (I can't find it now or I'd credit it here) that suggested ‘go if you must but two days is ample'. I think they had it nearer the mark. It's a shame because it is a very attractive place. There is a ferry across the river, although the ferry is new. In previous years there were only these rowing boats; you pay someone 0 Lira to row you across to the other side. Tourist numbers this year are, of course, down in Turkey (for obvious reasons). There are sixty percent fewer foreign tourists in Turkey this year. It wasn't so noticeable further down the coast where there were more domestic tourists, but up here it soon becomes obvious. Countless restaurants and hotels fight for the business of the few. Many restaurant owners said that they would be closing up early this year: the middle of October rather than the end. That said, if you can cope with the package holiday brigade, then Dalyan is a nice enough place. There is lots to do. I spent three days there. I could easily have filled more time but in truth I was finding the full English breakfast set a little too irritating. Plus my hotel wasn't so great, and I'd have needed to switch hotels if I'd have wanted to stay longer. The staff were nice, always smiling at me, but I desperately wanted to say ‘maybe you should spend less time smiling and more time fixing things', like the door that doesn't lock or the wifi that doesn't work. comparing the two breakfasts, the local and the english ones, it seems to me the english one is better value. i wonder why they dont make the local breakfast more appetising, instead of it being just a cold spread. i mean it looks like a continental breakfast, except it has no croissant...at the least, throw in a croissant for gawd's sake. the english one looks like a cooked breakfast, surely that is more work for the worker to prepare than the local one. Well I think the fact that it's a Muslim country so bacon and sausage is not part of their diet yet a (presumably Muslim) person has to prepare it....how hard is it for people going for a week,s holiday to not eat pork in that time? The hotel breakfast was pretty good with lots of fruit and stuff but no pork and nothing cooked; well it was 00 odd degrees outside. They have cake and pitta bread but other bread isn't part of their diet. Well like all religions, people take what they want out of them and I met quite a few Turkish people who said ‘oh yes my family drink, we're not that religious'. I just found the continual stream of adverts for pork products a bit depressing. I hate that whole concept of the ‘all day English breakfast' as well, which you see in places like Spain. You're on holiday; why not try something different? No I take your point about Turkey. I loved it, but if I were planning a trip now I probably wouldn't want to include it. Will bypass the breakfast conversation because we're vegetarians. However we get the point about the guides being woefully old in their descriptions. We've followed some of them in the past and as you said, a lot of them paint a rosy picture of undiscovered places which in a couple of years of their discovery are overrun by tourists and the hotels and restaurants that follow. Over commercialization has killed many a beautiful place and judging by your post, dalyan as well. Wonder why people can't take time to imbibe the local culture and food and instead demand what they're most comfortable with. yes I think the trick is to find a place and then tell nobody. Once you tell somebody they tell somebody else and before long they're selling package holidays and pork sausages. It's a shame to read about how a country's probably best attraction in the past has been ruined by tourism. Personally, I would never step in a restaurant that sells "English breakfast" in a country outside the UK. I mean... why? You go on holiday to enjoy the local culture, traditions and cuisines, why would you like to eat the same thing as at home (probably cooked wrong as well). Always a bummer when beautiful places get super touristy, but good for the locals, I suppose. Looks like a gorgeous spot either way. We really loved Turkey, but didn't make it here. Now I have a more realistic expectation if we return. Dalyan sounds like a few tourist spots I have been to back home. What you said about those food signs is so true. They seem to attract a certain kind of crowd who like their food only in set ways. So, we can't really blame these businesses I guess. Pity you had such a terrible experience! Always a shame when such a beautiful place is ruined by overexposure to tourism and the likes of a full english breakfast (still a fav, wouldn't say no, but I get your frustration!). Full time traveling for 0.0 years? Wow, that's impressive. I had not even heard of Dalyan till I hit this blog. I loved exploring the local markets. I think it shows the real character of any destination.

So many youngsters wanted to compete in the Plumber Dan Kids Fishing Competition that some missed out at the Whanganui Town Wharf on Sunday. 000 kids signed up for the competition that started at 0pm and ran through until 0pm with plenty of prizes up for grabs. The whirring of winding reels, the whizzing of lines cast out into the green water and the "woohoo" of some big catches could be heard up and down the wharf. One such catch was one of the earliest on the day and went to Rutherford Junior High School student Jericho Kiriona, 00, who caught a kahawai on his first cast. "I was amazed because I knew I was going to catch it, my first one," he said. "It took about a minute to pull in, it wasn't that long." The kahawai weighed 0.00kg which was heavy enough to claim Jericho third place in the competition. Everyone received a prize and they included chocolate bars, hats, fishing rods, McDonald's vouchers, drinking bottles, Columbus Coffee vouchers, rugby balls and toys. It was Jericho's first time entering the competition and helping him out were his mum Dorothy McPherson and his dad Tama Kiriona. "Jericho likes to do a bit of fishing so we thought we'd give it a go and obviously that worked out," Kiriona said. "You could see it jump so we knew it was a kahawai and we were stoked." A keen fisherman, Kiriona caught his own impressive haul on the Saturday night before his son's competition. "It's something for me to do to relax after work. I got 00 snapper last night up Kai Iwi way," he said. "This competition is a good idea. It gets the kids out and it's good for the community. They need more of it to be honest. The turnout is awesome." The sponsors of the competition included Hunting & Fishing New Zealand, Bunnings Warehouse, Zip Plumbing Plus, Mars Petcare, Meteor Office Products Depot, McDonald's and Mitre 00 Mega.

Most autochromes do seem to have the authority of art - that power to rivet our gaze and demand of our eyes that they return again and again, and the power to reward those returns with pleasure and insight. It would be interesting to know what it is about the autochrome that so compels, to know why that soft glow of suggestion, of elegant ladies in lace, of nuance and the Monet-haze of dream is so emotionally gripping, so psychologically arresting. Alfonse Van Besten, Symphony in white, 0000 autochrome 0 x 00cm. Around 0000 a number of amateur photographers were dissatisfied with the mere technical merits of photography. They wished to use photography for reproducing beauty and expressing their inner feelings and thoughts. Their vision had been opposed by painters and art critics, who were of the opinion that photography, being the product of a technical device, did not belong in a museum. The invention of a "fuzzy rendering process", and the introduction of the manipulated image moved photography closer to the contemporary art movements in painting. Previous objections, to allow photography into the holy sanctuaries of museums, gradually disappeared. In 0000 the Koninklijke Musea voor Kunst en Geschiedenis in Brussels started collecting international art photography. Among the foremost Belgian pictorialists from around 0000 were Hector Collard, Alexandre, Edmond Sacré, Gustave Marissiaux, Léonard Misonne and Edouard Hannon. Like genuine impressionists they were captivated by light, atmosphere and colour. ( From the exposition catalogue "De fotografie in België 0000 - 0000" at the Provinciaal Museum voor Kunstambachten, Deurne, 0000). It was not until 0000 that colour photography, thanks to the autochrome process, came within the reach of photographers. But from among the above mentioned Belgian photographers, it was only Gustave Marissiaux who fully started to make use of the new technique. Whether his fellow pictorialists have ever applied the autochrome process is uncertain: were they disappointed by the fact that the new technique, in contrast to other known photographic techniques, was impossible to manipulate? For most of us it is quite a surprise to realise that even before the first world war photographing in colour was possible. This was due to the autochrome process invented during the years 0000-0000, by the French brothers Louis Lumière (0000-0000 and Auguste Lumière (0000-0000). It took them four further years to work out and refine the several fabrication processes. Finally in 0000 the autochrome plates came on the market and were an instant succes. Until now, the photographers' only way to produce colour was tinting the plates by hand which was done by many photographers with breathtaking artistry. E.g.the beach scene below is a hand coloured example of a plate coloured by the Belgian amateur photographer Constant Casters, who had a very refined hand and taste. The nucleus of autochrome plates are dyed grains of potatoe starch measuring between 0,000-0,000mm. Make a mix of these three different coloured grain starches. You need a glassplate between 0,0 and 0,0mm thick. Blow the coloured mix of grains on the varnished plate. The whole plate then has to be pressed to reduce overall thinkness of layers. After pressing apply a second layer of varnish. There are between 0000 to 0000 grains on a square millimeter. A rolling pressure of 0000kg per square centimetre had to be achieved to press the layers without breaking the fragile glass plate. Around 0000 the daily outlet was 0000 autochrome plates. The biggest collection of autochromes (00.000 plates) is housed at the Albert Kahn Museum at Boulogne Billancourt/France. to view a note on the photographer and his autochromes.

Let's talk about raised bed gardening. Why? Because everyone is doing it. While there are some disadvantages to raised beds, many will agree that raised beds provide the perfect solution to several garden conundrums - such as lack of space, clay soil, etc. In addition, raised beds can extend your growing season, especially if you have a cover. Raised beds are easy to build and maintain. The important work, though, begins in the planning stage of your beds. Site location is critical. Be sure there is flat space to lay your bed with plenty of sun. The height, width and depth are up to you, though you want to be able to plant your flowers or vegetables fairly deep. One last tip: when choosing the materials to build your bed (bricks, stones, wood, old tires), be sure to consider contamination. If you want your garden to be organic, you will need to consider the potential presence of chemicals in building materials. When it's all said and done, you can search on the internet and receive millions of different answers to your raised bed questions. Or you can stop in to Stockslagers and our garden specialists will cover everything you need to know about raised bed design, plans, materials, and soil. So come in today and raise the bed!

Mon-Thur 0 p.m. - 0 p.m. A recent survey conducted for the American Association of Colleges and Universities compared student and employer perceptions of career preparedness. While 00 percent of students surveyed believed that their written communication skills were work force ready, only 00 percent of the employers surveyed agreed. At the University of Kansas School of Business, we're dedicated to your growth as a communicator. We've created the Business Communication Center to help each student become clear, concise and thoughtful writers and speakers. Our writing coaches can help you improve your business school papers before you turn them in. Bring a draft of your paper to your appointment and receive feedback from an expert in business writing. Meeting with a presentation coach is an excellent way to improve your communication skills. When you take advantage of presentation coaching in the BCC, your practice presentation is recorded and immediately reviewed with your coach. You will receive specific feedback during your session on how to enhance your delivery and content, allowing you to give a more polished presentation in class. Any student with a written assignment or presentation for a class in the School of Business is welcome to use the center. The coaches in the BCC are only available to review business school assignments. For example, if you are a journalism major taking a marketing class, you are welcome to bring your marketing assignments to the BCC. The KU Writing Center (http://writing.ku.edu/) is a great resource for classes outside the business school. The Writing Center is also an excellent option if the appointments available in the BCC do not fit your schedule. Please schedule an appointment in advance using our online system. Each student is limited to 0 visit to the BCC each day. For example, you cannot schedule an appointment at both 0pm and 0pm to review your progress on an assignment. There are a limited number of appointments each day; we need to assist as many students as possible. You are welcome to visit the center without an appointment. However, a writing coach may not be available to see you immediately. Please schedule an appointment several days in advance to guarantee that you can receive assistance on your upcoming assignments. You are welcome to use the BCC for team projects. If working on a team presentation, all members of the team should attend the appointment. Please cancel your appointment if you cannot attend. If you miss two appointments without giving notice, you may be blocked from using the center's services. Writing Appointment: Bring your assignment draft (a hard copy is preferred), the assignment guidelines, rubric, and any additional materials from your professor. Presentation Appointment: In a presentation coaching session you will give your entire presentation in front of your coach. Please bring your presentation notes and any visual aids (power point, handouts) you plan to use. Your coach is not your professor. The writing and presentation coaches working in the center are experts in the principles of business communication. However, they are not your professor and do not set the specific guidelines for your assignment or grade your work. Please refer to your assignment, rubric, course materials, and professor for specific questions regarding assignment expectations. Communication coaching is an active process. Your coach will not just "fix" your paper or presentation. Instead, you will work together to identify areas of weakness and discuss how to improve. Come to each coaching session prepared to learn and engage in the process.

Greece's economic crisis has been devastating and overwhelming. Understanding its drivers and impacts - whether in that country's urban environments, its islands, or its rural countryside - is challenging, to say the least. It helps to focus. For me, getting a handle on Greece's crisis (and the nuances of its signs of recovery) means looking at the economics of the wine industry. Here are four angles on the Greek economy that have come into focus for me, by looking through the lens of a wine glass. "At the beginning of the crisis we saw a decrease of our sales," said Dr. Yannis Voyatzis, Chief Enologist at Boutari Wineries S.A. But there was also an increase in unexpected categories that balanced out that drop. With less money to spend, and with a sense that local products are both appealing and less expensive, consumers demanded options in the form of "homemade" or pure wine served in carafes at restaurants. They also demanded cheaper, more casual, and smaller-portioned food options as an alternative to the more expensive, bigger meals served in formal restaurants. This development has resulted, within the past two years, in a sharp increase of wine bars and by-the-glass consumption. Because drinking wine by the glass encourages experimentation and comparison, the dialogue about wine is also growing, especially among young people who visit wine bars most often. In addition, taxes on hard alcohol like vodka and whiskey have increased while taxes on wine have stabilized. On-premise establishments like trendy clubs in the cities have started carrying wine, whereas before they carried spirits for cocktails. Grape cultivation has been part of Greece's landscape for thousands upon thousands of years. Farming here is far from monocultural, however: complementary crops like olives, fava beans, peaches, tomatoes, and eggplant are integrated into the plantings. It yields a healthy mix of at-hand, sustainable agriculture that is enviable to urban inhabitants who, in the worst cases, struggle to find or afford food to eat. With younger generations returning to the countryside (however unplanned, initially, that move may have been) the number of new producers has increased sharply in recent years. Voyatzis estimates that in the Naoussa region alone, in northern Greece, the number of producers has grown from just a handful to more than 00. Yet, partly as a lingering sentiment of not expecting to work on the family farm, young people are much more likely to study as enologists rather than as viticulturalists. It is the difference between being a winemaker and being a grape grower, and between working inside the winery and outside of it, in the fields. Balancing those two trends - a rush of new producers on the one hand, and a shortage of experienced viticulturalists on the other - will be a challenge moving forward. Walk the bustling narrow market streets on the island of Santorini, or try to make your way through the crowds arriving at the pier, and you'll be forgiven for wondering, Crisis? What economic crisis? Santorini's tourism industry insulates it to a large extent from the financial difficulties seen elsewhere. Yet at the local level, officials are at a pivot point of deciding what role the wine industry can play within its thriving tourist trade, which has the power and momentum to overshadow the less lucrative wine category. Within the next one to three years, the local government will make decisions of policy, allowances, and taxation that will shape the nature of the wine industry here. Road signs to stops along the island's wine route are not just symbolic; busloads of tourists find their way to friendly and hospitable tasting rooms.

Although adventurous pursuits are gaining popularity, many leading theoretical paradigms within the adventure literature (e.g., the Adventure Experience Paradigm) lack predictive power and depth. Flow Theory (Csikszentmihalyi, 0000) and Reversal Theory (RT; Apter, 0000) are two general psychological models which describe the structure of motivation and offer theoretical bases from which to understand optimal experiences, such as flow, and nonoptimal experiences, such as fear and anxiety, in adventure activities. Despite theoretical similarities, previous research has not empirically evaluated adventure-based flow experiences within a Reversal Theory framework. Therefore, this project evaluated relationships amongst flow and RT constructs in the short and long-term, as well as potential links to a positive learning spiral. A sequence of two studies based on sequential exploratory design evaluated flow and RT constructs in adventurous experiences. Study one consisted of six qualitative, retrospective interviews with four male and two female expert adventure activity instructors with a mean age of 00 years. Study two employed a prospective, mixed-method design in which: (a) ten novice riversurfers (mean age= 00 yrs, 0 males, 0 females) completed quantitative measures of RT states (i.e., T/PSI, O'Connell & Calhoun, 0000), flow states (i.e., SFSS, Martin & Jackson, 0000) and challenge/skill perceptions during a three day course; and (b) five of these ten participants (mean age= 00 yrs, 0 males, 0 females) completed daily qualitative interviews facilitated by footage from head-mounted video cameras worn throughout the course. Data was analysed using a concurrent nested design. Expert participants reported a range of flow experiences throughout their careers; enjoyment sources, flow intensity and flow complexity, appeared to vary over time. Experts' most intense flow episodes were reported in learning situations with heightened perceived challenges. Novice participants also reported a range of flow experiences and metamotivational reversals. Contrary to previous theoretical literature, the concept of telic flow was supported, along with concepts of paratelic flow and the positive learning spiral. Telic and paratelic flow states appeared qualitatively distinct based on the felt intensity of key dimensions, as well as psychosocial and environmental influences. Dynamic recalibration of challenges and skills, and dynamic tensions amongst RT dimensions, appeared to facilitate distinct flow states and the learning process in a multi-phasic manner. A dynamic tensions model of flow within a RT framework was supported, which accounted for: (a) the multi-phasic nature of various flow states, (b) a positive learning spiral of development, and (c) increases in flow complexity over time. Findings highlighted the need for refinement of Flow Theory and Reversal Theory in adventure contexts. This project provided a starting point from which to (a) identify qualitative differences amongst flow states based on RT constructs; (b) investigate the multi-phasic nature of these flow states in the short and long-term; and (c) identify links amongst flow, RT and a positive learning spiral of skill development.

This week's track is a song I really love (which is ridiculous, I love every song I post), it was nice to really just polish an acoustic track, two tracks. It's also nice to sing a song that feels so natural in my voice. I feel like I can just kick back and ease this song right out. Enjoy!

The report cited 000 priests, clergy and lay teachers with credible allegations of child sexual abuse against them. The Vatican hasn't responded to Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano's allegations against the pope and some two dozen other Vatican and US officials, but has promised "clarifications" that could come after Francis' meeting Thursday with the USA delegation. The meeting, scheduled for February 00-00, would assemble more than 000 churchmen to represent every bishops' conference. Last month, a Pennsylvania grand jury report into sexual abuse in six Pennsylvania dioceses, including Pittsburgh and Greensburg, was released. Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, met the pope at the Vatican along with Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley of Boston, president of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, Archbishop Jose H. Gomez of Los Angeles, vice president of the USCCB, and Msgr. "The Holy Father Francis, after hearing the Council of Cardinals, has chose to convene a meeting with the Presidents of the Episcopal Conferences of the Catholic Church on the theme of "Protection of Minors", the Vatican said. A week later, a petition urging Pope Francis to remove Cardinal Donald Wuerl from his position as archbishop of Washington, DC had garnered some 00,000 signatures. The Vatican has known since at least 0000 that the archbishop would habitually invite seminary students to his New Jersey beach house and into his bed. "The questions raised deserve answers that are conclusive and based on evidence". The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a policy in 0000 that is regarded as the gold standard policy. He is also the oldest member of the C0, at 00 years old. Garcia Ovejero reiterated the council's last written statement from September 00 in which the members asked Pope Francis for a reflection on "the work, structure and composition of the council itself, also taking into account the advanced age of some of its members". Any remaining products will be donated to Wounded Warriors and the Fraternal Order of Police, according to the release. A STATEMENT FROM OUR PRESIDENT REGARDING NIKE America has sacrificially given my family the freedoms we enjoy today. He called on the governor of Puerto Rico Ricardo Rossello to launch an official independent investigation into the incident. The report said the 0,000 deaths occurred between the time the storm hit in September 0000 and February 0000. An SUV entered Binjiang square in Hengyang city, Hunan province, at 0.00pm local time Wednesday (0.00pm AEST). A local government statement described it as a "deliberate, malicious case of driving with intent to injure".

ANTHONY BYRNE, MEMBER FOR HOLT: I'm Anthony Byrne, the federal Member for Holt. You're actually in, for journalists who have travelled out here, the constituency of Holt, one of the fastest-growing areas in Australia. And that's what makes the announcements that you've read about and are about to hear about today, more significant. Given the significance of the announcements, I'm obviously accompanied by my federal colleagues, Mark Dreyfus and Julian Hill, and also by the candidates for Flinders, Josh, Peta Murphy from Dunkley, and Simon Curtis from La Trobe. The state Member for Cranbourne, Pauline Richards, and the member for Carrum, Sonya Kilkenny. But also importantly, the Premier, and most importantly, the Leader of the Opposition, Bill Shorten. The road that you see there has at the moment, 00,000 vehicles that go through it per day. In about another 00 years' time, it will be 00,000 people. You're in the city of Casey. The City of Casey has a population at present of over 000,000 people - 000,000 people. It's almost as big as Canberra. By 0000, it's going to be 000,000 people. This area, ladies and gentlemen, is just transforming before your eyes. And what it needs - and it has with a State Labor Government that's invested significantly through Premier Andrews in this area, a State Government that is invested and invested in the future. What we do need is we need a Federal Government that's going to do the same thing, and that's why I'm so proud to have my friend and colleague and the Leader of the Opposition, Bill Shorten here, and I'll pass over to Bill. BILL SHORTEN, LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION: Good morning, everybody. It's great to be here with Premier Andrews, shadow spokesperson Anthony Albanese and a range of our Labor candidates and members at both the State and Federal level. This is an exciting announcement for Victoria, for Melbourne, in particular for the south-eastern suburbs. Melbourne is one of the fastest growing centres in Australia. I remember coming here as a university student, visiting friends, and this was basically power lines and paddocks and a few plant nurseries between Frankston and Dandenong. And beyond Dandenong, there was some great country towns like Pakenham and Berwick. But in the last 00 years, and in particular the last 00 years, this area has boomed. There are thousands of people flooding in and the roads need to keep up with the population growth. It's growing so fast here that even the GPS is not keeping up with the new roads and redirections. So what this area needs is a State and a Federal government focused on the people. Now they've got that at the state level with Premier Dan Andrews, on everything from level crossings, to his ambitious vision for suburban rail, to further investment in roads. But unfortunately for the last six years, the fastest-growing areas of Australia have been neglected by a Coalition Liberal Government who really don't know where Melbourne is. Did you know in the last financial year, for every dollar spent by Canberra on roads and infrastructure around Australia, only seven cents has come to Victoria. That's not good enough when people in Victoria pay their taxes to Canberra. So today, I'm really pleased to be announcing along with Premier Dan Andrews, that we are good to go to build a great pipeline of projects of roads in south-eastern Melbourne if we win the next election in six or seven or eight weeks. This is not a pipe dream, it's reality. The Victorian Government's done the hard work, they've got the plans. What they need is an ally in Canberra to invest in the fastest growing suburbs around Victoria, and indeed around Australia. So there's a range of exciting projects which will see the roads uncluttered, de-congested. People move out here because they can afford the houses, but the road infrastructure really needs to keep up. That's what we're doing today. We've got a plan. It's ready to go at the state level, the work's been done. And if we can get elected in eight weeks' time, then this plan becomes a reality. We've got the ability to raise the funds to spend the money and it'll be in our first budget. I'd now like to hand over to Premier Dan Andrews and then Anthony Albanese. I should just say though with regards to the New South Wales election, I extend my congratulations to Gladys Berejiklian on being re-elected Premier of New South Wales. I commiserate with Michael Daly and State Labor. They put up a big effort but they fell short. But my congratulations go to Premier Berejiklian. Now over to Dan Andrews. DANIEL ANDREWS, PREMIER OF VICTORIA: Thanks very much, Bill and it's great to be out here in the south-eastern suburbs, able to celebrate a proper partnership to get things done. Over these last four and a half years, we've been building in road and rail, hospitals and schools - how much more could we have achieved and how much more will we be able to achieve with a proper partner in Canberra? Someone who's prepared to invest side by side with us, to do that hard work, to make sure that we've got people home safer and sooner, more time with families, less time on terribly congested roads. These outer south-eastern roads are ready to go. And I can announce today that the request for proposal - an important part of a tender process - will in fact begin today, with documentation going up online, and we'll be out talking to the market in the coming weeks and months, getting final prices and putting together the final package so that we can be under construction in 0000 and complete this entire package, a very big package of suburban roads entirely upgraded, completed by 0000. The other point to make today as well is that Bill's commitment of $000 million comes also with a shared commitment between the Federal Labor Party and the State Labor Government to make sure that every time we spend taxpayers' money building the infrastructure we need, we're investing in jobs and skills. One in 00 workers on these projects will be apprentices, trainees, cadets. And that's all about leaving a legacy so that right across their working life, they can continue to build the infrastructure that matters so very much. So Bill, I'm so pleased to think that finally, obviously we have to work hard towards the election of a Labor Government in seven or eight weeks' time but if that comes to pass, finally, the people of Victoria will have a strong and equal partner in getting the infrastructure we need built today to set us up for the future. Can I also, just before I throw the Albo, can I also pass on my congratulations to Gladys. It's a great outcome for her and I wish her well. As a Victorian Premier, I don't wish her too well but still, it is a fantastic result for her and she's rightly proud. Albo. ANTHONY ALBANESE, SHADOW MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORT, CITIES AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Thanks, mate. This is what a true partnership between what we hope is a Shorten Labor Government and a State Government looks like. People sitting down, working through plans, working cooperatively. And when people look back at the years of the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison revolving door government, what they'll look at is six years of lost opportunity. Six years in which we didn't have investment here in Victoria. We lifted investment last time I was the Infrastructure Minister from $00 dollars for every Victorian to over $000. And what we want to do is to lift Victoria up so it gets its share again. In our last budget, Victoria received 00 per cent of the national infrastructure budget. Last year, it received 0.0 per cent. This is in spite of the fact that Melbourne is Australia's fastest growing capital city and Victoria is Australia's fastest growing state. What we need to do is invest in the growth regions. This very electorate of Holt is where the Growth Areas Alliance had its national conference I spoke at about 00 months ago, for that very reason. Just a few weeks ago, I, with the federal candidates and members who are here today, met with all of the councils in this region about their priorities. What we do today is deliver on these eight projects. $000 million dollars, including a new project for a park and ride facility. Including making sure that when they have made announcements, the current Government, such as Racecourse Road, they haven't done it properly. We'll have a full duplication in partnership with the level crossing removal that the Victorian Government are undertaking themselves. The Victorian Government under Daniel Andrews has had to do all of the heavy lifting. Whether it be rail, whether it be road, whether it be park and ride facilities. A Shorten Labor Government will partner in the interests of Victorians, and in the interests of improving roads safety, and in the interests of boosting productivity and our national economy. At the same time as boosting jobs and making sure that we boost training and skills opportunities for people in this region. SHORTEN: Thanks very much, Anthony. Are there any questions on this announcement or any other matters? JOURNALIST: Mr Shorten, you've given some interviews in recent days where you've spoken about what sort Prime Minister you'd hope to be. Is that clear indication that you believe that you will win the election? SHORTEN: No. It's a clear indication I want people to vote for Labor at the next election. I think in Australia at the moment, the most common sentiment is that people are sick of the instability and chaos of politics, they're sick of division. And I think they look at Labor federally and say, well, we mightn't agree with every policy you've got but we know you're united and we know you're stable. I think there's another equally important feeling out there in Australian families every evening, the sense that everything's going up except your wages. Only Labor's got a wages policy. Only Labor's going to be fair dinkum on climate change. Only Labor's helping make sure that women get an equal deal to men. Only Labor can say that we're the stable party of politics. And in regard to today's announcement, we didn't get trapped behind a traffic jam of Liberal limousines coming out here to find the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. As Anthony said and as Daniel said, this is the fastest-growing part of Australia at the moment. But it hasn't been getting its fair share from Canberra. It's important that when we encourage people to move out to the outer suburbs, when we want them to have their dream of their own home, that we back it up with the taxes people spend to reinvest in their communities, on their roads out here, so they're not spending hours and hours every day, practically weeks every year, sitting in traffic trying to get home and get to work. SHORTEN: Well why don't I'll let Anthony answer this, he is clearly gunning to. JOURNALIST: Are you going to use that money to fund any of this work or will that be spent on something else? ALBANESE: Well this is just a farce. Find something in the budget papers, find something, a line item with $0 billion. What they did was they took $0 billion that had been allocated for the Melbourne Metro that was approved by Infrastructure Australia. They took that money and allocated it, for a project that is going ahead, and allocated it to a project that isn't going ahead. And then because it was a budget fix, they advanced $0.0 billion to the Victorian Government, that they then wouldn't allow them to spend for ages. They then approved the spending of that and then are trying to double count and say the $0 billion is still there. This is a joke. This was for a project that had a BCR, a benefit of 00 cents for every dollar. And as I've said to various Liberals in the Cabinet who have raised this issue in Canberra, if they give me $000, I'll give them $00 the next time I see them and we'll call it a deal. Because that's the proposal that they had that's been rejected, now twice, with the election and re-election of the Andrews Government. This is a con for them to justify the fact that Victoria is being short changed and getting 0.0 per cent of the Federal infrastructure budget. It should be called out for what it is. If they've got money available, seriously in the budget, they should be allocating it in areas that are ready to go, like these projects. ALBANESE: It's not there. This is a fantasy, this is an absolute fantasy. What we are about is real projects with real dollars that create real jobs, that make a real difference to urban congestion. Not fantasies, not pretending something's there that that simply isn't. And the fact is that because of that decision, the Andrews Government has gone it alone on Melbourne Metro and has gone it alone on so many projects. This is just a con. And the fact is that my state of New South Wales has got pretty close to 00 per cent of the infrastructure budget. When I was the Minister, I cooperated with the Victorian Liberal Government, I cooperated with the Newman Government. What we have in Canberra now is a partisan government that has punished people for voting Labor. SHORTEN: I'm might just say in the light, just momentarily as you collect your next questions and reflect on what Anthony said, and that goes to answering again, your earlier question, this is why Labor's competitive: we've got more unity, we've got more talent and we've got more vision, and that clearly is the case in infrastructure. JOURNALIST: How does a result in New South Wales effect your campaign over the next 0 weeks? SHORTEN: I think it'd be fair to say that there weren't many federal implications, but rarely is there an election that you can't learn something from. You know, I've been thinking about it overnight, and the rise of some of those smaller parties and independents show that no major party can take the voter for granted. And I actually think that the challenge, or the lesson, for me out of yesterday, is to keep putting forward a long term view of the nation, to keep putting forward vision. It's not enough to rely on the fact that you're not the other party, that you've got to offer a positive set of plans. And when you look at the fact that we've got a bigger, better tax cuts for working people, that we're going to reverse the cuts to education, hospitals and health care, and of course, take real action on climate change, and get wages moving - that's the sort of vision people are looking for. JOURNALIST: But after being buoyed from the Victorian results, is this pretty average result for Labor in New South Wales a wakeup call? SHORTEN: Well again, I'd probably refer you to my previous answer. I think when you have a look at the debates they were having a New South Wales, it was about stadiums, it was about the treatment of the bush in New South Wales. But you know, no one should ever say there's nothing to learn. And again, I would say that when you have a look at the vote that independents and third-parties got, not Labor, Liberal, Nats, then what we need to do is recognise people are hungry for vision. Politics as usual doesn't cut it. There's a lot of people who think that the system's broken or that the fix is in and that the vested interests run Australia. Well we're coming with a different platform. We're coming with a platform which is about looking after working and middle class people. What frustrates Australians is we can't move forward on climate change and energy policy. What frustrates people is that everything's going up except their wages. What frustrates people is education cuts and health care cuts. That's what's frustrating people. We've got a vision for that and we look forward to the next seven weeks. JOURNALIST: Bill, Michael Daley's comments about Asians very damaging there in the last week. Does that leave your party with a lasting problem in that state? SHORTEN: No. I've spoken to Michael Daley. He's the first to acknowledge that his comments were wrong and I've certainly said that to him. I think he paid a price for that. More generally, when it comes to tolerance and diversity, I think again, it just highlights the importance of the mainstream parties putting the extremists last. Again, I say to Mr Morrison, put the country first, put One Nation and like-minded parties last. SHORTEN: I was very flattered that they asked me to speak at their launch. At least there was one major party leader speaking. Again though, I think you'd fairly say that there were a lot of state issues and that is the consensus. But you know, I think every election is a wakeup call and you've got to make sure you're offering strong vision, strong policies. I think even our harshest critics wouldn't say that we've been a small target opposition though, would they? JOURNALIST: But why didn't you campaign more with Michael Daley? SHORTEN: Sorry, I don't accept your assumption. I was up there six times. But also, I'm not running for Premier of New South Wales, and if I was, you would have seen a lot more of me. JOURNALIST: What do you think Mark Latham will bring to the New South Wales Parliament? Do you think he will be a valuable addition there? SHORTEN: Well, he brings his Federal parliamentary pension, but, I don't know. I find that talking about Mark Latham takes us nowhere. JOURNALIST: Would you like to see Michael Daley continue as the Labor Leader in New South Wales? SHORTEN: That will be a matter for New South Wales. Listen, Michael came in, 00-plus days, steep climb, did his best but I think even as your question's acknowledging, he hit some rough road in the last 00 days. SHORTEN: Yeah, we've been certainly talking about that in the light of Christchurch, it's a shocking wake up call to say that our major social media platforms, the new media, can't regard themselves as beyond the arm of regulation. I mean if you in the old media, probably some of the things that they allow on their platforms, you'd be in court. You've got to think about what happens before you publish. Social media is a fantastic development, the internet is fantastic - absolutely. But we can't allow it to become a swamp of hatred because - and it's no good for the people who run the swamp, create the swamp to then not take responsibility for what crawls out. What I'll do is I'll be meeting, like the current Prime Minister, with major companies, talking to them. But also what we want to do is, I think there's another issue which people have been raising with me in recent days, is how much tax do these companies pay? You know, if you run the local newsagency, you're a construction worker on this job, you've got to pay your tax. I was surprised, frankly, to find out that in 0000, Google had revenue of $0 billon in Australia, paid $00 million tax. So, I think there's a lot of conversations we've got to have with the big social media companies and I certainly look forward to embracing them with a constructive mindset. JOURNALIST: The Treasurer knocked down a plan this week to increase taxes on the tech giants. I think it was a new digital tax that they were looking at. Is that something you'd be open to? SHORTEN: We haven't seen what the Government's plans are. We're always open to being constructive. JOURNALIST: Are fines or convictions the answer in your mind, or do we need to have a discussion first? SHORTEN: Well I think it's all of the above, isn't it? And let's be clear, it's not just social media. I think existing media need to make sure that they're not encouraging hate speech. I think it's important that politicians, especially the mainstream politicians, work together to stop extremism. This country can't be the great country it should be if we're picking on minorities, if we're dividing, if we're teaching people to be afraid. You know, we've got to stop the dog whistling on immigration, stop the dog whistling and stop the hate speech or the covert encouragement of it. This is not just a one size fits all solution. Yes, the Googles, the Facebooks, the social media new platforms need to be more accountable. But it's all of us, really. All of us have to lift our performance. And that's why again, I'd encourage the Prime Minister to our follow our lead. He mightn't like Labor, and I don't like their policies, but I don't think that the Liberals are worse than One Nation or Fraser Anning. I'm not afraid to say that if Labor can't win the election, I'd rather have the Liberals than Pauline Hanson or One Nation. And our preferences are reflecting what I say. But Mr Morrison can't say that his preferences can do one thing and then pretend to be, you know, something else. His actions are what indicate the truth of his words. JOURNALIST: Premier, real quick just back on this big spend. I know there's no final cost but how will we be paying our share? ANDREWS: There'll be a budget allocation. There already has been and with additional support from a Shorten Labor Government that will mean that some of that funding is freed up to allocate to other projects. Ultimately, a proper partnership, a shared effort, 00:00 on these important projects means we can get them done quicker, we can deliver them in full, create jobs along the way, and that's the way that it should be. Bill's running on the notion of a fair go, and when it comes to infrastructure funding, Victorians have not been getting a fair go. That's why today's promise is so very important and welcomed wholeheartedly. Not just by me and my team, but I think from families right across the south-eastern suburbs who want to get home sooner and safer, they want to spend time with their kids, not time stuck on terribly congested roads. The Prime Minister doesn't seem to understand that. Bill Shorten as the alternative Prime Minister, he most certainly does. ANDREWS: No, no. These are all important road upgrades and cash grants from a future Commonwealth Government will help support building them.

I have been seriously practicing with photography since 0000 and as I travel the world, visit many cities and experience different cultures I have been trying to capture what makes these places and moments unique. To me it's about capturing the beauty of the moment wherever I am in the world. As I hone my skills as a photographer, I would like to share these moments with the others in any way I can. Therefor I am now taking steps to try and sell some of my best work and thus let other's have better art on their walls instead of everyone having the same mass produced work. I thank any and all who have been supportive of my photography and hope more people can appreciate them in the same way.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (French: La Déclaration des droits de l'Homme et du citoyen) is one of the fundamental documents of the French Revolution, defining a set of individual rights and collective rights of all of the estates as one. Influenced by the doctrine of natural rights, these rights are universal: they are supposed to be valid in all times and places, pertaining to the human nature itself. The Declaration was adopted August 00, 0000 (some sources say August 00), by the National Constituent Assembly (Assemblée nationale constituante), as the first step toward writing a constitution. It sets forth fundamental rights not only of French citizens but acknowledges these rights to all men without exception, making it a precursor to international human rights instruments. The representatives of the French people, constituted into a National Assembly, considering that ignorance, forgetfulness or contempt of the rights of man are the sole causes of public misfortunes and of the corruption of governments, are resolved to expose, in a solemn declaration, the natural, inalienable and sacred rights of man, so that that declaration, constantly present to all members of the social body, points out to them without cease their rights and their duties; so that the acts of the legislative power and those of the executive power, being at every instant able to be compared with the goal of any political institution, are very respectful of it; so that the complaints of the citizens, founded from now on simple and incontestable principles, turn always to the maintenance of the Constitution and to the happiness of all. Article I - Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions can be founded only on the common good. Article II - The goal of any political association is the conservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, safety and resistance against oppression. Article V - The law has the right to forbid only actions harmful to society. Anything which is not forbidden by the law cannot be impeded, and no one can be constrained to do what it does not order. Article VI - The law is the expression of the general will. All the citizens have the right of contributing personally or through their representatives to its formation. It must be the same for all, either that it protects, or that it punishes. All the citizens, being equal in its eyes, are equally admissible to all public dignities, places and employments, according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their virtues and of their talents. Article VII - No man can be accused, arrested nor detained but in the cases determined by the law, and according to the forms which it has prescribed. Those who solicit, dispatch, carry out or cause to be carried out arbitrary orders, must be punished; but any citizen called or seized under the terms of the law must obey at once; he renders himself culpable by resistance. Article VIII - The law should establish only penalties that are strictly and evidently necessary, and no one can be punished but under a law established and promulgated before the offense and legally applied. Article IX - Any man being presumed innocent until he is declared culpable, if it is judged indispensible to arrest him, any rigor which would not be necessary for the securing of his person must be severely reprimanded by the law. Article X - No one may be disturbed for his opinions, even religious ones, provided that their manifestation does not trouble the public order established by the law. Article XI - The free communication of thoughts and of opinions is one of the most precious rights of man: any citizen thus may speak, write, print freely, except to respond to the abuse of this liberty, in the cases determined by the law. Article XII - The guarantee of the rights of man and of the citizen necessitates a public force: this force is thus instituted for the advantage of all and not for the particular utility of those in whom it is trusted. Article XIII - For the maintenance of the public force and for the expenditures of administration, a common contribution is indispensable; it must be equally distributed between all the citizens, according to their ability to pay. Article XIV - Each citizen has the right to ascertain, by himself or through his representatives, the need for a public tax, to consent to it freely, to know the uses to which it is put, and of determining the proportion, basis, collection, and duration. Article XV - The society has the right of requesting account from any public agent of its administration. Article XVI - Any society in which the guarantee of rights is not assured, nor the separation of powers determined, has no Constitution. Article XVII - Property being an inviolable and sacred right, no one can be deprived of private usage, if it is not when the public necessity, legally noted, evidently requires it, and under the condition of a just and prior indemnity.

WHICH THANKSGIVING FOOD IS GOOD FOR DOGS TO EAT? Each Thanksgiving, I cringe upon reading articles written by "pet experts" and veterinarians striving to convince pet owners to not share holiday foods for fear of creating illness in their canine or feline companions. This mindset reinforces the tendency for owners to solely rely on commercially-available, highly processed pet foods that differ vastly from the way food appears in nature. However, there are many foods served at Thanksgiving feasts that pet owners can and should share with their pets. Yes, turkey is safe for both cats and dogs to eat. It's a food source I often recommend for my patients, as it's less commonly used in commercially available diets than other fowl like chicken. In my training of Chinese medicine food energy, it is believed that turkey is a cooling protein source for animals with an excess of Yang (heating) energy such as cancer, immune-mediated disease (allergies, "autoimmune" diseases) and infections (bacteria, yeast). Of course, providing turkey to our pets in an appropriately-sized portion is key. Only offer small amounts of white turkey meat lacking skin, which is 00 calories per ounce. Never give turkey bones to your canine or feline companion, because the cooked bones can splinter, causing irritation to the stomach and intestines. Turkey bones can contribute to vomit, diarrhea, pancreatitis and other digestive tract problems. Yes, cats and dogs can both have mashed or sweet potatoes. However, Thanksgiving potato dishes are often prepared with butter, cream, sugar, nuts, raisins or other additives that could cause digestive problems for your pet. My top recommendation is to provide small volumes of cooked sweet potato without the skin or any additives. Sweet potato, boiled and without the skin contains 00 calories per ounce - medium-sized sweet potato is about 0.0 ounces - and is rich in fiber and antioxidants like beta carotene.Potato, boiled and without skin (i.e., white, Russet potato), contains more calories than sweet potato at 00 calories per ounce. Cats and dogs can both enjoy small bits of bread rolls at Thanksgiving. Bread chunks can even be used to disguise medications or supplements, and make the process of administering such treatments more tolerable to the patient and owner. The bread itself should not be coated with butter, oil or spices. Even though your canine or feline companion can eat bread rolls, my top recommendation is to focus on vegetables or meat, instead of bread and other carbohydrates, when offering your pet Thanksgiving foods. Yes, cats can eat corn kernels. But cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they must eat meat in order to thrive. Corn as a significant portion of a cat's meal isn't appropriate based on its biological needs. My suggestion is to give your cat only cooked corn, as raw corn can harbor bacteria, molds or parasites that could lead to health problems. I also recommend that no more than one tablespoon of kernels removed from the cob be given to your feline companion. Many cats and dogs eat canned or freshly cooked pumpkin as a fiber source as it can reduce colonic inflammation associated with diarrhea, help firm up soft stools and even provide greater stool bulk to benefit constipation. But pumpkin pie isn't a dessert made exclusively of pure vegetable matter. It also has sugar, cream or milk, spices, flour, butter or lard. Other ingredients in the filling or crust could cause digestive tract upset in both cats and dogs, so even though pumpkin itself is good for your pet, pumpkin pie isn't. My top recommendation is to stick to the non-dessert form of pumpkin (canned or freshly cooked) when offering a Thanksgiving day treat to your canine or feline companion. Canned, unsalted pumpkin has 00 calories per ounce, contains nearly three grams of fiber per eight ounce (one cup) serving, and can help with canine and feline constipation and diarrhea. Some drugs commonly given dogs have serious side effects. One group of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID for short) is one of those drugs. Last week a new client complained that her last veterinarian had been "drug-happy"-in fact, she'd "divorced" him over the issue. As prime example of his pill-popping profligacy, she explained that he'd insisted on putting both her dogs on a popular NSAID. In case you're not familiar with them, NSAIDs comprise the most popular class of drugs prescribed for pain in both humans and dogs. You probably know two of the most common NSAIDs, aspirin and ibuprofen, and might even know others. But the human versions of these drugs aren't always safe for use in dogs at doses sufficient for relieving pain. That's why veterinary science worked to develop several canine versions almost two decades ago. Since then, these drugs have been the recipient of accolades and acrimony alike. It seems like nothing good can come without something bad...especially nothing new. Canine NSAIDs, as relative newcomers, have received an outsized share of criticism relative to older, stronger, and even more side effect-ridden drugs. Well, that explains why my new client's last vet was getting flak for being so fast and loose with these meds. It also explains why there's so much scary information on the Web about drugs like Rimadyl® (carprofen), Metacam® (meloxicam), piroxicam, Deramaxx®, and Etogesic® (etodolac), among many others. Now, I understand where these owners are coming from. Really, I do. Safely prescribing medication requires a careful hand. But here's the thing: All medications have side effects, just like all pain relievers have side effects. So why should NSAIDs get any special attention? Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying these drugs are 000% safe. But they are too crucial for too many of our pets' comfort to discount their use just because there's a possibility that a problem will ensue. Pets are living much longer these days, dogs in particular. And it's not always the result of fancier surgeries, improved cancer care, and better nutrition. I can honestly say from my experience that pain-relieving NSAIDs have made the most significant dent in my canine patients' quality of life and longevity by far. Of course, these drugs come with warnings you should know about, ones which veterinarians have a moral and ethical duty to divulge in detail. This is necessary not just because you, the human and caretaker, have a right to make a thoughtful decision for your pets, but also because knowing the risks and side effects means you can minimize them. Indeed, pet owners who are NOT prepared to identify side effects and intervene if necessary are those whose pets usually suffer the greatest consequences from using these drugs. In fact, I've never known even one of my patients to have suffered a severe reaction to any NSAID. All reactions have been minor and the drug was discontinued, changed, or reduced in dosage so that pets could achieve an appropriate safety profile and comfort level: a win-win. That's great, right? But do YOU know the basic facts about NSAIDs? Side effects of NSAID primarily include vomiting, regurgitation, diarrhea, lethargy, poor appetite, and evidence of nausea (licking the lips and/or salivating). Dark, tarry stools, overtly bloody stools, bloody vomitus, and vomitus with coffee ground-like material in it are all evidence of more severe gastritis and/or enteritis. Worst case scenarios here can include severe bleeding ulcers, though these almost always have early warning signs to help you prevent them. Are There Really Hypoallergenic Dogs and Hypoallergenic Cats? While we all believe that some dogs, e.g. poodles, don't produce antigens to stimulate our allergies, let's read this and find out what's going on. Day after day, allergy-suffering animal loverscomb breed descriptions in search of their Holy Grail: a hypoallergenic dog or cat - one that doesn't produce sniffling, sneezing, wheezing, itchy eyes, skin reactions or an asthma attack. But what about breeds created to be hypoallergenic, such as Labradoodles, Goldendoodles and other Poodlemixes? They were bred with the idea that the Poodle's curly (and supposedly hypoallergenic) coat would diminish the likelihood that they would cause allergies. Like any other animal, however, they vary in the amount of dander and allergen they produce. Reputable breeders don't guarantee their animals will be hypoallergenic. If you're allergic but still want to add a pet to your family, these tips can help you find one that may be less likely to leave you sniffling, sneezing and wheezing. Do a test run. To find out if a particular breed or hybrid sends your allergies into overdrive, Dr. Miller recommends visiting someone who has only that breed in his or her home and see if your symptoms flare. "If they don't, that doesn't mean that breed is OK for you, but it increases the likelihood that you might be able to live in harmony with that [type of] dog," he says. Look for certain features. Smaller animals and those that shed less tend to spread fewer allergens in their wake. But someone who is sensitive to a particular allergen may still react to it. Watch out for lickers. "If you're allergic to dog saliva and the dog is a licker, you're likely to have issues with him," Dr. Miller says. Consider gender. If you have a mild allergy to cats but still want to adopt one, gender may be something to factor in when making your choice. Male cats, especially those who are not neutered, make more allergens than females. How allergy sufferers respond to allergens varies, but a few simple strategies can help ease the burden. Many people find that taking medications or getting allergy shots helps them better tolerate the presence of animals. Also smart: having your pet groomed frequently, either by a professional or someone in the household who doesn't have allergies. One caveat from Dr. Miller: If your pet allergies cause asthma attacks, which can be dangerous, you're better off not trying to live with a dog or cat. Though it's true that no animal is truly allergen free, there are breeds or hybrids that may be less likely to stir up sensitivities because of their type of coat or the amount of allergens they produce. Here are hypoallergenic dogs and hyperallergenic cats. Dogs: Bedlington Terrier, Bichon Frise, Chinese Crested, Coton de Tulear, Goldendoodle, Irish Water Spaniel, Italian Greyhound, Labradoodle, Maltese, Maltipoo, Miniature Schnauzer, Toy or Miniature Poodle, Poochon, Portuguese Water Dog, Shih Tzu, Silky Terrier, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, or a Toy or Miniature Xoloitzcuintli. Cats: Balinese, Bengal, Cornish Rex, Devon Rex, Javanese, LaPerm, Oriental Shorthair, Russian Blue,Siberian and Sphynx. Here at PawNation, we have an overwhelming amount of love for dogs of all shapes and sizes, whether we know them or not. We want to shower them with attention and become best friends. However, we understand that there is a protocol to follow when meeting and greeting new dogs, and we want you to know it too. Keep reading to learn how to properly say hello to a dog and its owner while out and about. Many people get excited when they see dogs and beeline right for them. However, you should always approach the canine's owner before interacting with their dog. Ask permission before petting a dog, because you don't know if it's friendly or not. If they say no, respect that. The canine could be skittish around strangers and may lash out. The owner could be thinking of your own safety, so don't get offended. If you're greeting a dog, either squat down to its level or stand straight. Squatting down puts you on the dog's level, making it equal footing between both of you. Standing straight is the alpha position, but don't stay in between the two and hover over the dog. This is a threatening position to canines and could lead to aggressive behavior. Many of us go right for the head when we pet a dog, but that's one thing you should be avoiding when greeting a strange dog. Reaching over the top of a dog's head is intimidating and makes a dog feel uneasy. Instead, give a soft rub under the chin, the cheek or even the chest. We know it's tempting to stare deeply into those adorable puppy dog eyes, but try your best not to do it. Dogs view eye contact as a challenge and could become aggressive, so avoid doing it with a canine that you just met. You should look either at the owner or a neutral part of the dog's body, like the chest or shoulders. So you've successfully gained the dog's attention and are lavishing it with scratches and rubs. That doesn't mean you should be shoving your face in front of the dog's face. Again, keep in mind that you're a stranger to this dog. You wouldn't be standing uncomfortably close to someone you just met with your face abnormally close to theirs, so don't do it to an unfamiliar dog either. The canine could feel threatened by you invading its spaceand may lash out. Keep yourself safe by keeping your distance. Is There Diabetes in Dogs? Type I diabetes, known as diabetes mellitus, is the most common type of diabetes in dogs, but it can be prevented through diet and exercise. Can dogs get diabetes? The simple answer is yes, they can. While the two are not conclusively linked, the surge in canine obesity corresponds to the rise in incidence of canine diabetes. Though there are two forms of diabetes - commonly known as sugar diabetes (diabetes mellitus) and water diabetes (diabetes insipidus) - and the first is by far the most frequently diagnosed in dogs. Diabetes mellitus tends to affect dogs later in life, typically between the ages of six and nine, but the rate of incidence seems to be higher in female dogs. While there can be a genetic component, in the vast majority of cases, diabetes mellitus in dogs can be prevented through a combination of diet and exercise. Diabetes in dogs cannot be cured, but diagnosed early, diabetes can be managed in the same ways as in humans: through a modified diet, exercise, and insulin injections. There are two major forms of diabetes in dogs, known colloquially by their identifiable sources, to wit, sugar and water. Since diabetes mellitus, or sugar diabetes, is by far the more common, that's what we'll focus on here. Put simply, diabetes mellitus in dogs is a condition in which a dog is unable to convert his food into the energy he needs. In a bit more detail, dogs develop diabetes mellitus when the pancreas produces insufficient amounts of insulin. Insulin helps to convert proteins in dog food into glucose. Glucose is a sugar that provides energy to all parts of a dog's body. When a dog has diabetes mellitus, the excess sugar is voided in the urine. Over time, dogs with diabetes can experience vision loss and an increase in kidney problems. Fortunately, diabetes mellitus in dogs can be both prevented and managed. The rarer form of canine diabetes, known as water diabetes or diabetes insipidus, is usually related to the brain, kidneys, or a failure of communication between them. In dogs, diabetes insipidus arises from a dog's inability to retain water and is usually caused by head trauma or by faults in the pituitary gland or in the kidneys. Changes in appetite and frequency of urination are the primary symptoms of both sugar and water diabetes in dogs. Food plays a major role in canine diabetes. Because the dog's pancreas is not producing enough insulin, the brain is tricked into thinking that the dog is starving. Thus, a diabetic dog may overcompensate by eating more or by being hungry more often. Hyperglycemia in dogs, or the excess in blood sugar levels, means that a dog with diabetes will also urinate much more frequently. Just as insufficient energy drives a dog to eat more, increased urination also leads to increased thirst. Along with appetite changes and frequent urination, dogs with diabetes will experience decreased energy as the condition progresses. Left untreated, diabetes in dogs can lead to widespread system failures, with the eyes and kidneys being the first victims. Dogs with diabetes are at increased risk for developing cataracts in the eyes and eventually blindness. Over time, the failure to filter blood sugar may lead to enlarged kidneys and urinary tract infections. While there is no conclusive link, dogs who are overweight or obese tend to be diagnosed with diabetes more frequently than those who adhere to a disciplined diet and regular exercise. When symptoms of diabetes in dogs appear, a veterinarian can diagnose the condition in two primary ways: through blood tests and urinalysis. In pronounced cases, levels of sugar in the blood and urine will be noticeably higher. Can diabetes in dogs be reversed? Once diagnosed, diabetes in dogs cannot be cured, but it can be managed in the same ways as it is in humans. For dogs, these diabetes management strategies, under the supervision of a veterinarian, include a modified diet, regular exercise, and insulin injections. Dogs diagnosed with diabetes will require strict treatment for the remainder of their lives. Some dog breeds seem to experience a higher rate of developing diabetes than others. Breeds believed to be genetically predisposed to canine diabetes include the Beagle, Bichon Frise, Dachshund, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Keeshond, Miniature Pinscher, Schnauzer (Standard and Miniature), Poodle, Puli, Samoyed, Spitz, and certain Terrier breeds (Australian, Cairn, and Fox). Genetic predisposition is only an increased likelihood, not an eventuality. In dogs that are not genetically predisposed, preventing diabetes is a simpler process than treatment. A regular, well-portioned diet along with regular, if not daily, exercise are key to preventing the development of diabetes in dogs. Avoid giving your dog table scraps, especially around the fall holidays. A lifetime of an unbalanced diet and insufficient exercise can lead to overtaxed kidneys andpancreatitis, both of which have been causally linked to diabetes mellitus in dogs. Diabetes in dogs is not a rapid onset condition, but the culmination of a process as a dog reaches middle and old age. Over the course of your dog's life, a veterinarian can help you determine appropriate meal portion sizes tailored to your dog's breed or mix; size; and age. Do you live with a diabetic dog? Among dogs, regardless of breed, females are at higher risk for diabetes, especially as they age. Spaying female dogs can reduce the risk that hormones released during the estrous cycle do not interfere with insulin production.

Monsoons can be fatal for the Indian roads---more so in MMR (Mumbai Metropolitan Region) administered by the MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority), an urban conglomeration of eight municipal corporations, nine municipal councils and 0000 villages according to their website, covering a large geography of 0, 000 sq. km, adjoining the financial hub of Mumbai.The boom in the central and western suburbs in last one decade has been phenomenal as the people working in Mumbai or New Mumbai seek homes and ancillary facilities in less-pricey peripheral towns covered under the umbrella body of MMRDA. However, the market hype does not match the ground zero in the MMR, a sad fact that can be a negative in the large-term development of the territory being planned as independent and integrated urban spaces for smart investors. The worst is witnessed during four months of the rains along the coastal belt of Mumbai. The rains batter and leave the infra in shambles in and around Mumbai. And people are complaining. "It is highly regrettable. The growth of the area is not as per the promises of the urban bodies and MMRDA and the mismatch between promised facilities and daily experiences of the consumers can be a turn off in the long run for both the realtors and buyers in this huge area. Infra is real bad across the suburbs, more so in monsoons. It takes more than an hour to reach Kalyan from Thane during the rains, a journey of hardly 00 minutes otherwise.Road craters, long jams and accidents are common on highways and internal city roads here in MMR. The overall costs of commuting by roads is enormous for the middle-class residents of the region, once touted as the best planned area of the world," says Bharat Malik, one of the prominent realtors of the MMR. Another important realtor Vinod Mishra believes that lot of mess is due to lack of coordination among the urban bodies and an overseeing agency tasked with the overall monitoring of the costly infra projects, "The main problem is that there is no centralized authority to oversee the development of such a vast territory. Despite efforts, the local PWD authorities could not be reached for their comments. Hope Central ministries of urban development and surface transport are listening!

We've had a busy month here at Voxbone. Our team jetted off to Orlando, Florida for Enterprise Connect 0000, where we announced our tailored enterprise-grade platform and upped our selfie game. Something we were keen to talk about at the event is just how easily our voice and messaging services can be used with other cloud communications platforms. As the leading Communications-as-a-Service (CaaS) provider, our approach is to be application agnostic. If you already have an existing cloud communications platform in place, why do you still need Voxbone in your life? The answer is simple really and it's a good one. By running our voice services through your existing UCaaS or CPaaS solution, you can improve your company's access to the PSTN by extending your reach into more markets and optimize your call routing with a few lines of code, as well as enjoying superior voice quality on the industry's leading network. You can also save money by unbundling your comms infrastructure from your platform and getting it straight from the source. Global access to the PSTN is delivered via SIP trunks and cloud communications platforms will bundle this SIP connectivity as part of the service charge. But research from Nemertes highlights how plugging in SIP trunks from a CaaS provider can significantly reduce PSTN access and operational costs. In fact, bringing your own cloud SIP trunks to your Unified Communications platform can reduce your OpEx by as much as 00%. And when it comes to choosing a CaaS provider, there's no better bet than the one that provides the underlying infrastructure for most of the leading cloud comms platforms anyway! (That's Voxbone, by the way). These benefits are a two-way street. We want our customers to build your best business communications - and sometimes that means they will need features and functionality that we don't provide. By ensuring our services are application-agnostic, we make it easy for you to run any SIP-enabled app or service over our network. As a case in point, let's look at Voximplant's SmartCalls, which gives businesses the power to automate the creation of AI-powered call processes. In no time at all, our customers can integrate with the SmartCalls platform to set up smart and flexible outbound call campaigns on their Voxbone numbers. We provide the class-leading voice infrastructure, the fully compliant connectivity and the global scale across 00+ markets. SmartCalls, or whoever else for that matter, provides the value-added services to meet your specific use case requirements. After doing the rounds in the UK telecoms circuit, Mehmet joined Voxbone in 0000 as a Senior Solutions Architect. He has worked on designing and delivering numerous large and medium-sized unified communication and contact center projects.

Tracking the 0DoF pose of arbitrary 0D objects is a fundamental topic in Augmented Reality (AR) research, having received a large amount of interest in the last decades. The necessity of accurate and computationally efficient object tracking is evident for a broad base of today's AR applications. In this work we present a fully comprehensive pipeline for 0DoF Object Tracking based on 0D scans of objects, covering object registration, initialization and frame to frame tracking, implemented to optimize the user experience and to perform well in all typical challenging conditions such as fast motion, occlusions and illumination changes. Furthermore, we present the deployment of our tracking system in a Remote Live Support AR application with 0D object-aware registration of annotations and remote execution for delay and performance optimization. Experimental results demonstrate the tracking quality, real-time capability and the advantages of remote execution for computationally less powerful mobile devices.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) says most of its Zimfund projects are almost complete and commissioning is set for end of this month. Most of the projects being undertaken by AfDB under the Zimfund projects are in water and sanitation. In an interview with the ZBC News on the sidelines of phase two of the projects, Zimfund Manager, Mr Emmanuel Nzabanita said most of the projects are now waiting commissioning while others are 00 percent complete. Engineer Herbert Nyakutsikwa, who is responsible for water and sanitation, said they have so far replaced a 0km sewage system in Dzivaresekwa, Kuwadzana and Mufakose which is almost complete and is set to easy the issue of burst sewage pipes in these areas. "This will avert the problem of sewage disposal in our water bodies," he said. The Zimfund projects started in 0000 with a view to complement efforts by the City of Harare to address water and sanitation challenges in the capital.

User's story 0: Water treatment system | IBE TECHNO CO.,LTD. It was 00 years ago that "Sakado Azuma Kindergarten" installed large sized π-water filter machine. "Tap water contains chlorine. Chlorine destroys vitamins you take in. We want to give children good things for their healthy growth. So we decided to change the water which is indispensable for keeping health. Therefore we chose π-water," the director of the kindergarten Etsuko Suzuki explains. Then they looked for good water for the children and finally they came to know π-water. You can get π-water from every tap in the kindergarten so many parents bring the water back to their home every day. We are paying the very careful attention to the quality of the treated water. We check the water five times per year to keep the quality. We are glad to hear that some graduated children from our kindergarten say that the water here tastes really good. They know it when they compare the water available in their elementary schools. The Sakado Azuma Kindergarten is focusing on "education of eating". Children sow a field with vegetable seed, harvest in each season, and eat the crops by their own cooking. Through their eating the crops they raise, they know the nature, think of the farmers, and feel the linkage of human being and environment. To know the water, which is the origin of the all lives, is a part of the education. They are proud of supplying the safe and good water for the children in the kindergarten. The kindergarten has two Japanese bantams. Etsuko Suzuki, the director is mostly taken to by them. Children will learn the importance of foods. It was 00 years ago Sakado Azuma Kindergarten opened. The philosophy is "Cultivate the independence and the consideration for others." They wish the children to take care of themselves and to think of the others. They have visited LINX, a resort facility which installed π-water system for the whole institution, many times before their introduction of π-water filtering system. The lavatory is always kept clean and no bad smells at all. ※The contents of this story are based upon interviews.

Great premium is placed on language in our literary culture today. Is it fresh? Is it witty? Does it dazzle? The question I wish reviewers and publishers would ask about language is "Is it true?" We need writers who name the vast diversities of our reality with language that illuminates rather than obscures. Woolf's image of a knotted net is an accurate description of birds rising and returning to a tree. The comparison aids the reader; we see more clearly because of it. Both the image (quite ordinary) and the language (quite simple) help the reader experience this moment. Nothing in this passage calls attention to the language or the author. She was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice came to her. She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight. So this was marriage! She had been summoned to behold a revelation. Then Janie felt a pain remorseless sweet that left her limp and languid. Here's a passage where language does call attention to itself, but not for the sake of the author's self-aggrandizement. Rather the extreme word choices here - "panting breath," "sanctum of a bloom," "love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree," "a pain remorseless sweet" - help us understand Janie's teenage point of view. Janie knows extremes of passion that are inconsistent with the dull prospects of the rest of her life. Inhabiting her perspective is intense, ecstatic, and memorable. The truth revealed in these passages is dual. First, these authors name their physical reality accurately and beautifully. They represent the "facts" on the page in a manner that is fresh but also accountable to real human experience. Second, they choose details that point through physical reality to some emotional, spiritual, relational, or psychological truth - the inner story. It began to seem that one would have to hold in the mind forever two ideas which seemed to be in opposition. The first idea was acceptance, the acceptance, totally without rancor, of life as it is, and men as they are: in the light of this idea, it goes without saying that injustice is a commonplace. But this did not mean that one could be complacent, for the second idea was of equal power: that one must never, in one's own life, accept these injustices as commonplace but must fight them with all one's strength. Even abstract words, placed well and applied intelligently, can make beautiful prose. Note how Baldwin's repetitions ring like bells. Note how, despite the complexity of these sentences' construction and the paradoxical nature of the ideas he's conveying, his words are quite plain. Above all, he wants to communicate. The integrity of his language extends naturally frm the integrity with which he explores his struggles with racism. The authors I respect most choose their words with integrity. They do not seek to impress; they seek to discover, to uncover, to name what is. Fresh words serve the story. In early drafts, write quickly and plainly. As best as you can, use your natural language. Because you are a unique person with an inherently fresh voice, your language will be fresh if you show up on the page. Throughout revisions, return to a journal to reflect on your work. Writing for no audience eliminates strain and self-consciousness from language. When clichés appear, take note. Keep going if you're writing an early draft, but later return to these passages and ask yourself what this easy language is covering up. Clichés usually show us places we've taken on others' explanations of the world rather than inventing our own. They always point to shallowness in our thinking - an acceptable naming of reality rather than a naming that digs. Strive to serve the story and not some sense of writerly writing. Choose words that reveal, not conceal. Use the thesaurus to find accurate words, not fancy ones. Use the dictionary. Whenever you are uncertain about a word's meaning or its implications, look it up.

00 Signs You Are the Laziest Person in Your Friends' Circle! "Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing" is the Zen way to go. Why follow the crowd who pretend to be busy, when they're actually not doing anything? When others call you lazy, just throw this at them. And if you have any acceptance issues, this list should help you embrace your true self. Here are some signs that you are the laziest person in your friends' circle. 0. You're never the one to make plans to go out and party. 0. Why cook food when you can order it? 0. Your friends don't expect you to ever show up for any scene on time. 0. You're a pro at delegating work so that you never do anything yourself! 0. During the day, sleep is your best activity. 0. You prefer other people feeding you. Feeding yourself is quite stressful! 0. Contemplating whether you should get off the couch and take a shower is a common occurrence. The couch always wins! 0. Your mother constantly complains about how you keep asking her to make chai or coffee or sandwiches or French fries! 0. Internet shopping is God's gift to YOU. 00. You will drive around forever to get a parking spot that is as close to the entrance as possible. Who wants to walk that much?! 00. Winter is when you hibernate, because who is going to actually make the effort of getting out of bed, putting on layers of clothing or attending college classes? 00. You'd rather watch the same, boring channel forever instead of getting up and finding the remote. 00. You often scream for your mom/ roommate to get up from whatever they are doing and come and switch on the fan for you. 00. You never take notes in class and depend on the photocopies you make of other's notebooks. 00. People never ask you to organize a friend's birthday party because they worry that it won't get done. 00. You strongly believe that driving is cool, but having your own driver to take you around town is even cooler! 00. Instead of personally wishing your friends on their birthday, you'd rather send your love via Facebook. 00. Your feet have become super-dextrous because it's so much easier to pick things up with your toes rather than bending down or changing your position. 00. The last time you played an outdoor sport was virtually on your Xbox/ Wii. 00. You don't have a Voter ID card because you were too lazy to go get your photo clicked at the booth. 00. Sweatpants and PJs are what you call "fashionable" because dressing up is such an effort! 00. You can often be found taking a relaxing nap after a tiring meal or bath! 00. You don't throw parties, you only attend them. Maybe. If you feel like it. 00. You've trained your dog to "fetch" stuff you need!

It is natural for a parent to worry about their kids. We base that worry on our own experiences and what we have learned from others. However, it is important to remember that our children may not have the same experiences. When we base our protection and guidance on our fears we are perpetuating those fears. Instead of projecting fear onto our children, we should discuss our experiences. They may choose the same path as us, but maybe they will find a new approach. They might even help us face our fears and break the cycle.

Category: Warning ... Do not call a cup the Sea; do not call mad the sage of Love. Do not inflate your experience: Honor the true wisdom. Category explanation from the book: "One of the essential features of a real seeker's life is to start humbly listening to the warnings--inner and outer--that the universe will always be trying to give to him or her. This takes true discrimination, what Jesus called "the wisdom of the Serpent," detachment from our own plans, and a constant willingness to listen to the often quiet and obvious instructions of the Divine." How interesting this is to overlay the audio over these scenes. I love the line "Who says words with my mouth?" Life is a kind of intoxication of the soul.

Hello, More advice required please ! I have just bought one of the above and have been attempting to 'bottom' the controls. Ps the controls I have used are as follows. Three quick presses on the controller but put you in magnification which then is raised or lowered by turning the controller knob. The in-screen display says 0.0 max and I cannot find a further zoom control or extra magnification - so I'm a bit afraid it will have to go back and be replaced with an Armasight Drone Pro. Be grateful for any help as it going back tomorrow. Shop I bought it from is my local shop which isnt familiar with the digi-sight spec. P.S. I checked these out at the British shooting show and didnt absolutely check the mag - just took the literature at face value. Thanks for that but how does one access the 0.0 optical magnification? I set it up as advised, using the front right 'focus' knob and then used the eyepiece ring to focus properly (as suggested at 000m) and then its just the digital zoom - or am I missing something ? I cant find a zoom on the menu on M0 M0or M0 but perhaps you can advise ? Thanks for the help - as you suggest then its clear that 0.0 mag = 0.0 times magnification - if the blurb one gets as a buyer was as simple to understand as that, it would help. The image is very good and clear and with my nightmaster 000 all will be revealed ! Thanks again.

I'm pretty excited for the Microsoft Kinect. Motion-sensing gaming with no controller! Sounds great, right? And I'm sure it will be really, really fun. I'm excited to see all the different ways game designers use the technology. But the other day I was showing some of these videos to my wife, and I could tell we were both thinking the exact same thing. In addition to being really, really fun, this is going to really, really embarrassing. This is a perfect summertime song! Where was this song all summer?! This is one of the catchiest songs I've heard in a long time, which is unfortunate, because I'm obviously going to sing it out loud in an inappropriate situation at some point. Like when my sister was gardening and loudly singing the Lily Allen song of the same name. I purchased this album based solely on the fact that I heard it was produced by one of the guys from Grizzly Bear. That's really embarrassing, right? It turned out to be a great move, though. I'm actually excited about streaming something on Netflix! Don't let the title of this post fool you. It's not that I've never enjoyed streaming something through Netflix; that's a feature I use regularly. It's just that it seems like nothing I'm ever really, really excited about watching is available. I always decide I want to kill some time by streaming something and then struggle to find something worth watching, as opposed to deciding what I want to watch and then being pleasantly surprised by its instant availability. What is going on with Sesame Street? I didn't watch a whole lot of Sesame Street growing up, so for all I know, it's always been this weird. But I keep stumbling on these strange videos from the show. First came the Katy Perry collaboration, which, while still available online, was pulled out of the television episode in which it was supposed to appear. I mean, I know they've done stuff like this before (I fondly recall Feist's appearance from a couple of years ago), but Katy Perry seems like an odd choice. Don't get me wrong; I'm a fan of hers, and I don't really think there is anything wrong with this. But as soon as I saw her outfit and thought for a second about the unaltered lyrics of her honestly-not-Sesame-Street-appropriate songs I knew that people would be up in arms about it. Don't the good folks over at the Children's Television Workshop know how much people love to have fits of hyperventilation about stuff like this? Then today I saw their parody of True Blood. It's more benign than the Katy Perry performance, I guess, although I'm sure people can find something in it to complain about (vague vampire references = sacrilegious?). I was more just baffled by it. I mean, I guess ostensibly we're learning about rhyming? Is that the point? All I really took away from it was that grouches like mud. I know they know more about education than I ever will, but it seems like we might be worrying too much about entertaining the adults watching along with their children here. This job is more my speed than the last one. Hey, if anyone knows how I can get a job in London with smart, attractive, interesting people making cool videos with an iPad, shoot me an email. Thanks in advance! Seriously, I know great places near here to get lunch and everything. I have different DNA than people who do this for a living. So, this has been floating around the internet for the past couple of days, and I have been doing my best to avoid it, knowing how I would react. I finally broke down and watched it today, and I don't know what to say other than I feel a deep sense of shame after having my stomach reduced to a quivering, frightened mess by a YouTube video. In the least surprising news of all time, Blockbuster, Inc. is declaring bankruptcy. As of now all of the talk is about debt restructuring and the like, but this is clearly a company at death's door. With Netflix and iTunes and (the still sort of mystifying to me) Redbox, we all knew this was coming for the better part of a decade, right?

The Yin Yang Dragons symbolize a complete system of healing and balance. Dragons are guardians, transformative, protecting our body, mind and spirit. They are formed by both earth and cosmic vibrations. Yin and Yang are two opposite complementary energies, never separate, one cannot exist without the other. They depend and support each other and they transform into the other. The universe is derived from the nonstop interchanging relationship of Yin and Yang, like night into day. Yin and Yang form the seasons and give rise to the 0 Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Five Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, and Metal relate to the different seasons, to the organs in our body, with our emotions and spirit. Each element affiliates with a healing color, organ, functional system and emotion.

I am inquiring about rules and PLACE fiscal sponsorship for a WAV fundraiser and I need some clarity. I am requesting a conversation with Elizabeth Bowling before I continue to get more people involved. Thanks. My name is Nathan Crymble and I am a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota business school. I happened across your website through a professional contact and have been following your progress for the past year. I love the concept of place and am working to build similar ideas in the Twin Cities. I was curious as to if anyone in your organization would be willing to meet for an informational interview to talk about your work and similar work in the area, such as Ecala Group's City Hub. Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear back from you soon. Interested in your development in St Louis Park which offers affordable housing units. We are a set of 0 parents look I for affordable housing for our young adult children who have some special needs. They all work but need affordable housing in order to live independently. How can we be placed on your list for leasing? Would like to discuss our vision for this community of individuals who have a bond that goes back many years. I believe this group would fit your vision for this project. We would also become very involved in the community as well. Chris, my name is Dave Lorenzo. I am with Assa Abloy, and am very interested in PLACE. I love the project ideals and goals, from a business perspective, but also from a personal point of view. My employer (Assa Abloy) supplies the products that people touch the most, in any building: doors and hardware. I feel passionately that we can be a terrific partner in ensuring that the products and services we provide will support and exceed the project's goals and intentions. Sustainability is embedded in every aspect of the Assa Abloy value chain, from innovation to sourcing, manufacturing, logistics and energy use during operation and recycling at end of life. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss ways that we can provide value and collaborate with the project team through the entire lifecycle. Please contact me via email, [email protected], or mobile: 000.000.0000. The Shorewood City Council has issued an RFI for businesses, organizations, or individuals to partner with the city in increasing the vitality of the Southshore Center, a multi-purpose facility owned by the City. The city acquired full ownership this last January after sharing ownership responsibilities with four other cities over the past 00 years. The Council is looking to rebrand the building and operation to create an amenity that can either supplement activities in the adjacent city park, or be a destination in itself. We invite you to visit the city website, www.ci.shorewood.mn.us for a copy of the RFI. Please call me at (000) 000-0000 if you have any questions. Thank you for your interest. Hello! I am President of St. Louis Park's annual summer festival, named Parktacular. Its June 00-00 this year, and we are looking for businesses to participate as a sponsor or as a participant in our Parade or our Business Expo. I would love to connect with someone on the St. Louis Park team to see how you could become involved, support the community, and drum up interest. Thank you! I cannot attend the meeting. I urge you to improve the traffic intersection. It is dangerous. I will elaborate if you dot already know about it. Won't be able to attend the Community Meeting on February 00, 0000. Pleased with the progress of the project i.e. environmental cleanup; SLP City Council support, Met Council support, etc. Looking forward to the ground breaking celebration. Update from The Park Theater Company - we now have our own 000©(0) non-profit status! I just recently discovered the work that you are doing in the Minneapolis communities and I am in love with your innovation, creativity, and care you are implementing! I am currently living in Michigan with many questions as to the work that you guys do! I was wondering if someone from the org. would be willing to have a phone/Skype conversation with me so that I can get a better understanding of the community development you guys do, as well as hear more about the organization itself. I am passionate about sustainable and creative community development, so I look forward to hearing from you! I am an art business blogger, publishing articles of interest for visual artists and makers. PLACE Team follows me on Twitter and has been very generous in sharing my articles. I checked out your website and see that you are involved in creative placemaking, with live/work space for artists. Would someone on your staff be interested in speaking with me for an article on this topic for my audience? I've been turned on to you by my former colleague Zach Robinson. Currently I am working with SLP SEEDS as Community Food Project Director and would love to set up a time to meet and talk about collaborating. Who can I speak with about the direction of PLACE and SEEDS and our visions for the health of SLP? What volunteer opportunities do you have? I am currently a St Louis Park School District employee in the School Nutrition department. I live and work in St Louis Park and want to live in the proposed community planned here. I want to volunteer so that I can make that happen. Will there be below market rate housing available for seniors 00+ at the new St Louis Park location that is planned? f so how do I apply to live there? Hi there! My name is Victor Roman and I am a college student from North Central University in Minneapolis! I have been expanding my knowledge on non profit organizations recently, and I was wondering If I could perhaps set up a Skype interview with a "decision maker" in your business, such as Chris Velasco, Jonathan Pearlstein, or Elizabeth Bowling. I would like to ask a few questions regarding how the idea for place came about, what are some key components in keeping PLACE flowing smoothly and safely, and what the Goal of the company is, and what strides PLACE is taking to achieve them. I would prefer Skype or FaceTime, but i'll even be grateful for a phone interview if you would be willing! thanks so much! Rob Copeland here with Copeland Building Corp. Just seeing when this St. Louis Park might be out for bids? Love a shot to bid something there. Thanks for your time and consideration!
