-Best tomatoes you can find (I get mine from the Farmer Market during the Summer and Fall) or buy the deepest red colored tomatoes I can find. Roma tomatoes would be the best if your going for looks because they slice up nicely. I'm more concerned with taste so I go for whatever kind looks the sweetest and most ripe. -Fresh Mozzarella make sure it's the squishy kind and not the hard kind. If they have handmade fresh at the store I usually get that one rather than the kind that's shipped in. Jungle Jim's has a fresh mozzarella rolled with Pepperoni that is to die for!!! -GOOD Olive oil-- What is good olive oil? The kind that smells fruity and peppery, if it smells like olives they picked them too ripe and it won't give you the same flavor. It's also not as good for you as the kind made with the lesser ripe olives. Don't ask me why this is what we were told when we went olive oil tasting in Chianti, Italy and I think the Italians know a thing or 2 about good olive oil. -Balsamic Vinegar- Sometimes I make it with the cheap stuff and sometimes I use the aged Balsamic. Aged Balsamic is nice because it's thicker and sweet. The perfect medium between the cheap stuff and the glaze. If you really like sweet things get the Balsamic Glaze from Trader Joe's I think it's only like $4 and it's amazing!! Plus you can make fun little designs on the plate with it :) You can make balsamic glaze on your own, I've tried and burned it every time. Just simmer a little honey and a bottle of balsamic until it coats a spoon. -Flat leaf Parsley- I would not buy this specifically for a Caprese salad but a lot of the time I have it in my fridge. I say if you have it use it!! It will add a fresh green taste to your dish since it's not sweet like basil. Just finally chop it confetti style and mix it with the basil. -Red Onion- Don't bother if your going to use a white onion the red onions are the best here. Just give it a Julianne cut or cut them however you want. It's really just to flavor the tomatoes and cheese. I like to cut mine paper thin if your not good with a knife cut the onion in half and use a vegetable peeler to achieve the thin slice. -Roasted Garlic- Yes, It has to be the roasted kind. If you use fresh you will be burping up garlic for the next 4 hours and if you use the powder your adding fake flavor to your fresh meal. You can find it at your groceries olive bar or you can roast your own but that's a whole other blog post! -Pesto- Pesto is one of the most amazing things on the planet!! Anytime you have a bunch of leftover fresh Italian herbs you should be making this stuff!! You can use it in anything!! So if you have some or want to make some it would be great on the Caprese!! -Arugula or Romaine- Make it into an actual SALAD!! Arugula goes good here because it has that peppery taste to it that syncs with the olive oil. - Roasted Red peppers- I didn't think this would be good until I had a Caprese with them in Napa and it works beautifully!! After I made roasted red pepper pasta sauce I started roasting my own peppers I think it gives it a more homemade taste. Although they are really cheap to buy canned at the store I prefer them homemade. If you make them on your own make sure you get some of that burnt skin mixed into the salad it will add a smokey flavor. Use different colored peppers to create a diverse salad. **After plating and before serving put the entire plated salad in the fridge for about 15 minutes. It will chill your tomatoes and give the salad time to marinate. The plate itself will get cold allowing your salad to stay cooler longer. One of the best Caprese salads I have ever made!! Roasted red peppers, fresh market tomatoes, paper thin sliced red onion, good olive oil, aged balsamic, basil, parsley, and fresh cracked sea salt and pepercorns! This is a Caprese I made when I was craving ALOT of basil. I literally chopped up the whole pack to put on here and it was amazing!! This is the Caprese salad with the Roasted Red Peppers. It was amazing with the Chardonnay we had! This is in Italy when we learned how to make fresh mozzarella. This lady was talented and made a mozzarella wreath!! Fancy!!

$168 Million Awarded in California Sex Harassment Suit Physician assistant says she was tormented in cardiac surgery unit. By ENJOLI FRANCIS Woman Wins $168M Harassment Suit Against Mercy Hospital California hospital employee claims she was sexually harassed by medical staff. March 2, 2012 — -- The California woman who won close to $168 million this week in a harassment suit against a Sacramento hospital -- possibly the biggest employment verdict for a single employee in U.S. history -- is "reeling" from the victory, her lawyer told ABC News. Ani Chopourian is extremely grateful and humbled by her victory against Mercy General Hospital, her attorney Lawrance Bohm told ABC News today, and she hopes it will send "a very powerful message that you cannot attack and defame a whistleblower for raising good faith complaints about workplace conditions, patient safety and sexual harassment." On Wednesday, a federal court jury awarded the 45-year-old former cardiac surgery physician assistant $125 million in punitive damages, $39 million for mental anguish and $3.5 million for lost wages and benefits. The award came nearly four years after she says she was terminated for filing complaints repeatedly to the hospital's human resources department. Chopourian said she was tormented and sexually harassed by surgeons and the medical staff in the cardiac surgery center at Mercy General from 2006 to 2008. She said that one surgeon stuck her with a needle, called her a "stupid chick" and said she did surgery "like a girl." Bohm said it was a very bullying and inappropriate environment where even patients were used as tools for passive aggressive behavior. This same doctor also referred to patients as "pieces of sh--." Surgeon Greets Others: 'I'm Horny' Witnesses confirmed that another surgeon greeted everyone he knew with "I'm horny" and daily detailed his lack of a sex life with his wife. The male medical staff including the housekeepers and nursing assistants took the trashy sex talk in the operating room to another level by touching, Bohm said. "One harasser told me one day, 'You'll give in to me,'" Chopourian told ABC News affiliate KXTV in Sacramento. "I'd look at him [and say] 'I'll never give in to you.' I'd look at my supervisor and say 'Do something.' They'd just laugh." Bohm said it was a "raunchy, vile, toxic workplace" in which his client was targeted by harassers because she continued to complain about the working atmosphere. He said she stayed because she loved heart surgery and the hospital was prestigious. Her parents also lived in the area. In a two-year period, however, Chopourian filed about 18 written complaints covering patient safety to sexual harassment to the fact that meals and break rules were not being followed. Her last filed complaint was received by human resources July 31, 2008. She was terminated Aug. 7, 2008. In court, the hospital said that she'd failed to show up for an on-call shift and was reportedly found sleeping on the job. "I couldn't believe they would do something like that to me," she told KXTV. "How can you ignore a person who is trying to do something about their environment?" After Chopourian was released from Mercy in 2008, she kept her physician assistant privileges at the hospital and started working for a new doctor in gynecologic oncology. Bohm said she worked with the doctor at Mercy and another hospital until she gave her deposition in her lawsuit against the hospital. Several months into her new job, Mercy denied Chopourian's privileges and she lost her job. Educated at UCLA and Yale, Chopourian has been unemployed for 2.5 years. Having her privileges denied rendered her unemployable. Cardiac Surgery Unit: 'A Powerful and Thick Shroud' Bohm said today that although the verdict vindicated her and delivered on her message, Chopourian still was in danger of losing her home and currently lived off donations of food and money from friends and family. "It's a very powerful and thick shroud when you're talking about cardiac surgery in Mercy Hospital. It's a huge moneymaker for any particular hospital to have a cardiac surgery unit. We need heart surgeons. But there has to be boundaries established and enforced. Hospitals have to control the environment. You can't let the lunatics run the asylum," he said. In a statement to KXTV, Mercy General Hospital said: "We are disappointed by the jury's decision. We are committed to providing a safe working environment, free from sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior, which is backed by strong policies and practices to protect our employees. We stand by the actions we took in ending our relationship with this former employee and we will appeal this decision." ABC News affiliate KXTV in Sacramento contributed to this story.

General Hockey Discussion What a Joke... 6 Outdoor Games Next Year By dsl135, April 17, 2013 in General Hockey Discussion dsl135 0 Favorite Team(s):Philadelphia Flyers Favorite Player(s):Jeremy Roenick, Chris Pronger, Mike Richards, Claude Giroux, Mario Lemieux, Ray Bourque Favorite Jersey(s):Flyers, 2004 All Star Game Mods, feel free to move this, but I figured it might be appropriate to go here... The NHL will announce an "Outdoor Game Series" next year. 6 games in total. https://twitter.com/LD10/status/324312365107671042/photo/1 Jan 1 - Toronto at Detroit (Michigan Stadium) Jan 25 - Anaheim at LA (Dodger Stadium) Jan 26 - New York Rangers at New Jersey (Yankee Stadium) Jan 29 - New York Rangers at New York Islanders (Yankee Stadium) Mar 1 - Pittsburgh at Chicago (Soldier Field) Mar 2 - Ottawa at Vancouver (BC Place) Complete joke if you ask me, and this will kill the idea. Let alone, how stupid it is that Pittsburgh and NYR will be in their 3rd games... I mean if you're gonna do this many games in a year, at least bring in teams that haven't done it. lfcjari37 0 Location:New Zealand Interests:Not rugby Favorite Team(s):Sabres, Flyers, Flames Favorite Jersey(s):Islanders 97/98 Away Rangers 10/11 3rd Flames Heritage Classic Current Flyers Starter Mesh!

Although not sure how i feel about 2 Rangers games. But think about it, each time with specialized jerseys for the game? I mean you guys go crazy over winter classic jerseys, television rights will also bring in cash. It does make a lot of sense, and if it means i get to see either Vancouver Skate jerseys or Millionaires jerseys on the ice again, i'll be happy. Flyers845 0 Location:Philadelphia PA Favorite Team(s):Flyers Favorite Player(s):Chris pronger danny briere Favorite Jersey(s):Flyers winter classics I'm surprised the flyers are not in 3/4 of that list. It's a shame too because I seriously lover the winter classic doesn't matter who's in it. I went to the Boston wc and the one in Philly. Such a great day of hockey hatryk 0 Location:Long Island, NY Interests:Hockey Favorite Player(s):Ryan Callahan Henrik Lundqvist Brad Richards Mark Messier Adam Graves Luc Robitaille Favorite Jersey(s):CCM mesh Authentic Messier Home 2.0 WC Brad Richards I love the WC but now it cheapens the whole idea. I understand they want to showcase big market teams but if they did one game on New Years Day it could be Columbus Vs Phx and it would still get ratings if done at the right venue. Give us new teams. Chicago, Detroit, Ny, Pitt have all done it. Move on and put other teams out there. Also, I liked it better when Canada had the Heritage Classic and the USA had the Winter Classic. Now they're just messing it all up. I went to both too, and had an absolute blast. But that's the thing, if this many games becomes a regular thing, you can almost count on the Flyers being in it every year, or at least every other year. The novelty will wear off, and it will become less fun. I have enjoyed every Winter Classic, but even the year with the Heritage Classic I didn't watch the whole thing. The interest level will plummet, I can guarantee. The very first one was the best. I was on the edge of my seat the whole game at home.

I agree it would also be nice to have new teams in it but they obviously will go for sure things, teams that will sell jerseys, teams that will sell advertising and teams that will draw TV interest. I do not agree that Columbus & Phoenix would succeed, I'm a huge hockey fan but wouldn't sit and watch that game just because it's a winter classic, and outside of hardcore collectors and fans of that team merchandise wouldn't move at all. You have to remember they need to feed to the masses, not us. Sluggermatt15 0 Favorite Team(s):Pittsburgh Penguins Favorite Player(s):Andy Bathgate, Ron Stackhouse, Dave Schultz, Trevor Linden, Matt Bartkowski Favorite Jersey(s):1967-1968 Pittsburgh Penguins My take on 6 outdoor games: -Pittsburgh should NOT be in one. -Chicago should NOT host AGAIN. -The NHL appears to fail to see that there are other teams located in climates where it snows/is cold during the winter that can participate, such as Minnesota, St. Louis, and Colorado. -Will the NHL have the teams design special uniforms for these games? That has been the trend for the Winter Classic. But if you continue to add more outdoor games, it sort of takes away from the flair of the event. Over time there would be so many new jerseys it might seem pointless that a team would have to make a new one every 2 or 3 years for an outdoor game. CJ Matthews 0 Pain in the Arse Favorite Team(s):New York Rangers Favorite Player(s):Zuccarello Zuccarello Zuccarello Zuccarello They can barely make enough for one game to sell to the fans, let alone 6 games. 4 out of every 5 jerseys you see from these events are fakes. cowboys 0 Location:Grimsby Ontario Favorite Player(s):Mark Recchi Rick Tocchet John LeClair Reggie Leach Favorite Jersey(s):Any Hockey AllStar jerseys cash grab I don't think the NHL fails to see anything, I think the NHL just looks for $$$$$$. Chicago is one of the most popular teams in the country, watch all the away games and see what the stands look like in many places and who the cheers go for. They are also one of the most watched teams on the national broadcasts which is why they keep getting them (which as a fan I hate because that means no Pat Foley). It's a cash grab, and I'm sure the NHL realizes after losing half a season this is not the time to be taking risks. Minnesota, St Louis and to some extent the Av's would not do great on a national level and the local population is not all that huge. New York has millions, Chicago has millions and the Penguins have a huge fan base so it's a no brainer. The money the get comes more from the non jersey merchandise and advertising more than anything else, but there is the extra jersey dollars they'll bring in of course. The only real risk I see in the 6 is the Kings/Ducks game but even that doesn't seem all that risky. I'd love to see some new teams get into the fold but I get why the NHL is doing what they're doing this year, even if I personally find it dumb. St. Patrick 0 Favorite Team(s):North Stars, Leafs, Wild and Av's. Favorite Player(s):Too many to list. Favorite Jersey(s):Too many to list. Agreed. The Winter and the Heritage is good enough. And who wants to play outdoor hockey in Southern California??? After the game last night, I was the one who broke the news of the Isles-Rangers to Matt Moulson. He didn't seem to believe me though. I told him TSN confirmed it and he said hopefully they are right and it will be cool to play. As an Islander fan, Im glad I am included in this. It makes sense they have all 3 Metro-Area teams involved. RageATheM 0 Go Ducks! Location:Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada Interests:Hockey, Comics, Tattoos, Music, MMA Favorite Team(s):Anaheim Ducks Winnipeg Jets (New & Old) New York Rangers Favorite Player(s):Paul Kariya, Teemu Selanne, Guy Hebert, Brian Leetch, Mike Richter, Adam Graves, Ryan Getzlaf, Bobby Ryan, Corey Perry, Andrew Ladd, Andrew Cogliano, Devante Smith-Pelly As a Ducks fan I'm happy to see the Ducks included as well, but am scared for the ice conditions. That being said, being on the east coast of Canada I never get to see any NHL games let alone Ducks, but I will be planning my honeymoon around the outdoor game Having 6 in one year is a bit much but it'll spread to other cities much faster. Either way the games will sell out regardless if there were 6 or 10 games being played They should play the cali game on synthetic ice...that might be cool. As much as I'm against multiple games I do think it makes tons of sense to try and utilize the ice they build, having a couple games at Yankee stadium does make sense from a financial side of things. I completely see what you're saying. I just don't think it's fair to the other clubs and their fans that they do not have the opportunity to participate in these NHL signature events. There are clubs like St. Louis, San Jose, and Minnesota who have played well over the past few years. It's a nice reward to have them featured in these outdoor games. Shouldn't good play be rewarded (I know the same is true for teams like Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, etc.)? I believe the NHL would make the game even more appealing by allowing other teams to participate who have not previously. But I do agree that the league is (unfortunately, IMO) concerned about $, drawing the best possible tv ratings, and promoting itself. It is a business. ConcreteCharlie 0 Favorite Player(s):Rod Brind'Amour, Claude Giroux, Mike Richards, Mario Lemieux Favorite Jersey(s):SHOW ME WHATCHA GOT! I don't hate it, I feel like the event is a lot more popular in cities that have had it and this certainly expedites that process. Sure, there are some repeats, but let's not forget that these games are also money makers. They charge more than regular season games and have two, three, four and even five times the capacity at these facilities. Honestly, having been to a couple of Winter Classics, I am not going to defend any tradition and sanctity of the event. It's a gimmick to promote the sport and nothing else, so why not suck its appeal dry? There's no special significance to the games and they are usually choppy as hell, even where the games are close/exciting. Go To Topic Listing General Hockey Discussion

Lyons Teams Headed South for Upcoming Break SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. – As spring break approaches, several Mount Holyoke College teams are preparing to head South for various training trips and contests. Five Lyons' teams will be in action next week during spring break, including lacrosse, golf, tennis, rowing and swimming. Lacrosse, under the direction of eighth-year head coach Miriam Esber, heads to Bradenton, Fla., and will play a pair of games as part of the 19th Annual Spring Fling event at G.T. Bray Park. The Lyons will square-off against Bowdoin College on Monday and will then face Concordia (Wisc.) on Thursday. Both games are set for a 12:30pm start time. The MHC golf team, led by fourth-year head coach Tim Walko, heads to Port St. Lucie, Fla., for its training trip. The Lyons will get in quality time on the links in Florida, including a match against Hamilton College – which is currently scheduled to kick-off on Tuesday at 12pm. Heading the furthest South will be the Lyons' tennis team, led by 22nd-year head coach Aldo Santiago. The squad will travel to Santiago's native Puerto Rico to train and play. The Lyons will face off against the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez on Tuesday, before facing off against the University of Puerto Rico Bayamón on Wednesday. Both matches are scheduled to begin at 10am. Rowing, under the direction of first-year head coach Heather Putnam, will spend the majority of the coming week training on the waters in South Carolina. MHC will conclude its trip with a scrimmage against some critical competition. On Friday, the Lyons will face-off against Smith, William Smith and Trinity at Lake Lanier in Georgia. All three teams represent some of the best in the Northeast and several of MHC's toughest competition for the Spring schedule. Wrapping up the spring break travels is junior swimmer Cathleen Pruden, who heads to Shenandoah, Texas to compete at the 2015 NCAA Division III Swimming & Diving Championships. Accompanied and guided by 17th-year head coach Dave Allen, Pruden returns to Nationals for the second straight season and will compete in the 200-IM (Wednesday), the 400-IM (Thursday) and the 1650-freestyle (Saturday). Last season, Pruden became the first MHC swimmer to garner All-America honors (top-eight), finishing fourth overall in the 400-Individual Medley. She enters this year's National Championships ranked second in the nation in the 400-IM, after winning the event at the NEWMAC Championships with a school-record and personal-best time of 4:21.83. Additionally, Pruden enters Nationals ranked 11th in the 1650-free (17:07.26) and 15th in the 200-IM (2:05.41). Continue to follow all the action on the Mount Holyoke Athletics website throughout next week. Results will be posted for all teams as soon as the information comes in! Go Lyons!

Q: Calculating number of equivalence classes where two points are equivalent if they can be joined by a continuous path. Q. Let $G$ be an open set in $\Bbb R^n$. Two points $x,y \in G$ are said to be equivalent if they can be joined by a continuous path completely lying inside $G$. Number of equivalence classes is * *Only one. *At most finite. *At most countable. *Can be finite, countable or uncountable. This question was asked in the NET exam December 2016. We can discard the first option by taking $n=1$ and $G=(-\infty,0) \cup (0,\infty)$. We can reject the second option by taking $n=1$ and $G=\cup_{k \in \Bbb Z} (k,k+1).$ Now fun begins. Can we get an uncountable number of disjoint open path connected subsets of $\Bbb R^n$ for some $n$? If so, then we can take $G$ to be their union. For $n=1$, this method fails because that would give us the contradiction that the set of irrational numbers is countable. A: It is impossible to have uncountably many equivalence classes. Note that each equivalence class is an open set, since balls are path-connected and so if $x\in G$ then any open ball around $x$ contained in $G$ is in the same equivalence class. Now any nonempty open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains an element of $\mathbb{Q}^n$, so each equivalence class must contain some element of $\mathbb{Q}^n$. Since $\mathbb{Q}^n$ is countable, there can be only countably many equivalence classes. More generally, this argument applies with $\mathbb{R}^n$ replaced by any locally path-connected separable space. A: As an open subset of $\mathbb R^n$ is the union of at most a countable number of open balls (centered on points with rational coordinates and having a rational radius), response 3. is the right one.

Yet in 2009 organic farmland was still only 2.46 per cent of France's utilised agricultural land. Leading players in the market have found two ways to satisfy consumer demand: large-scale imports and the development of intensive, industrial organic farming. The concept of organic farming was developed in Europe in reaction to the chemically reliant and productivist agriculture that became widespread after the second world war. In the early 1960s a network of French organic smallholders and consumers established Nature et Progrès (N&P). This organisation attracted many city dwellers who felt a need to get closer to the land. It established links with ecological and political movements such as the smallholders' union Paysans-Travailleurs and the anti-nuclear movement in the 1970s, and Confédération Paysanne and the anti-GMO (genetically modified organisms) movement in the 1990s. N&P integrated into its charter diversification and rotation of crops, autonomy for individual farms, renewable energy, the defence of smallholders, biodiversity, the use of seed produced by farmers themselves, food sovereignty and a ban on synthetic products. To re-establish links between the producer and the consumer, organic products were sold through local markets, fairs and purchasing groups, which eventually led to the creation of the Biocoop network. N&P's charter inspired that of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (Ifoam), adopted in 1972, which linked ecological, social and humanist objectives to agronomic criteria. But this agricultural and social movement lacked coherence. In the 1980s N&P's officially approved standards were in competition with those of over a dozen other movements. In 1991 Brussels took the confusion as an excuse to impose a set of rules for the entire European Union; food produced in France under these rules carries the AB (agriculture biologique) logo. The creation of private, commercial certification bodies went against the spirit of participatory regulation, in which producers, consumers and processors had all been involved. The cooperatives have been at the forefront of this process. Their profit margins are considerable, because they also grow and supply poultry feed to farmers. The old French regulations required organic livestock farmers to produce at least 40 per cent of the feeds they used on their land. The new EU regulations have severed this link to the land; farmers now buy all their feeds from the cooperatives. One of the major ingredients is soya. In 2008 organic chicken production in France rose by 17 per cent, but organic soya production fell by 28 per cent, and it became necessary to use imported soya, which is far cheaper. In November 2008 several hundred tons of Chinese organic soya imported by a subsidiary of the French cooperative Terrena were withdrawn after tests revealed they contained very high levels of melamine. Terrena has ceased trading with its Chinese supplier but still buys soya on the international market – dominated by brokers, who are not keen on transparency. Organic soya from Italy – which may have been grown in Romania or Poland – has to compete with soya from Brazil, grown in the states of Paraná (by small farmers dependent on major exporters) and Mato Grosso (where organic fazendas, large estates, can cover as much as 5,000 hectares). Mato Grosso is the state most implicated in the destruction of the Amazon rain forest. According to WWF France, soya cultivation is directly or indirectly responsible for the destruction of 2.4m hectares of forest in South America every year. There is no requirement for organic soya imported from Brazil to be certified as having played no role in this. Although organic farming is only a small part of the activities of the big French cooperatives, they are keen to assert their supremacy: Terrena has bought out Bodin, the leading French organic chicken producer; Le Gouessant has acquired the animal and plant health and nutrition specialist l'Union Française d'Agriculture Biologique; Euralis has a major stake in the union of organic agricultural cooperatives, Agribio Union. Many regional inter-professional associations for the promotion of organic farming and almost all chambers of agriculture, which are increasingly involved in managing organic farming, have fallen under the influence of the cooperatives. The Institut National des Appellations d'Origine (which regulates French agricultural products with protected designation of origin and is also responsible for applying the EU regulations in France) is headed by Michel Prugue, president of Maïsadour, which markets a range of genetically modified seeds. There may be a link between the growing influence of cooperatives with financial interests in the GMO sector and the European Commission's decision to permit a GMO content of up to 0.9 per cent in organic products, although the European parliament had been opposed to this. France imports more than 60 per cent of its organic fruit and vegetables. Based in southwest France, ProNatura is the country's leading distributor to specialist stores and supermarkets. In less than a decade, ProNatura's sales have increased tenfold and it has absorbed four other companies; 25 per cent of what it sells is produced in France, but the rest is imported from Spain (18 per cent), Morocco (13 per cent), Italy (10 per cent) and 40 other countries. ProNatura was the first in France to market organic fruit and vegetables out of season. This does not stop its founder, Henri de Pazzis, from preaching respect for the land, the environment, the smallholder and the consumer. The rules imposed by the supermarket operators are far removed from these principles: "They have adopted the same destructive purchasing mechanisms for organic products that they use for conventional farming products," said de Pazzis. "They are aggressively encouraging competition. They have dropped some of our products because other suppliers are asking far lower prices." This price war leaves little room for social considerations or respect for the environment. For the last 12 years, ProNatura has been importing organic strawberries from Spain, grown by Bionest. That company's bosses Juan and Antonio Soltero own 500 hectares of greenhouses in Huelva province, in Andalusia, which at first glance seem no different from the thousands of conventional greenhouses that cover the plain, wrecked by a monoculture of strawberries that is polluting and exploitative of agricultural workers. Bionest is located in Doñana National Park, which is on Unesco's World Heritage list. According to WWF Spain, the number of greenhouses in the park is growing, and this is having a serious impact on the environment, particularly because of the threat to water reserves. Bionest uses much the same methods as conventional growers: its plants are fertilized via a drip-feed irrigation system; it shows no regard for biodiversity (the few varieties it grows are the same as those in conventional greenhouses); and it is engaged in monoculture. But Bionest is entitled to call its strawberries organic because its inputs are certified. The crop is harvested by hundreds of women from Romania, Poland and the Philippines. The latter are particularly vulnerable to exploitation. It's a sensitive subject, and the Solteros are unwilling to answer questions about it. Bionest is not an isolated case. In Almería, another Andalusian province, Agrieco produces over 11,000 tons of "organic" tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers a year. Its greenhouses use the latest technology, its inputs are certified organic and its workforce is made up of Romanian and Moroccan women. Its president Miguel Cazorla is confident that the company will grow. In early winter, Agrieco's vegetables are on the shelves of specialist stores and supermarkets throughout Europe, competing with those grown in the "organic" greenhouses of Italy, Morocco and Israel. The trade war around the Mediterranean is growing in intensity, to the benefit of the middlemen. When La Verde publicly accused Andalusia's ecological agriculture committee (CAAE), Spain's main certification body, of favouritism towards organic big business, it was subjected to an avalanche of inspections. Its members have created the largest farmers' seed bank in Spain, which allows them not only to grow crops from their own seed but also to supply all the organic smallholders in the region. They now fear repression. "There are laws and standards that take away our ancestral right to grow our own seed and prevent us from certifying the ancient varieties we have preserved," said Zapata. The EU regulations on organic farming require farmers to use seed certified as organic. If they don't have it, they have to buy seed on the open market. "For the moment, we are just about legal, but if we were banned from selling our products tomorrow, we would have to use organic seed sold by Monsanto." (See the Grain report, "Whose harvest? The politics of organic seed certification", Barcelona, January 2008.) La Verde is thinking of following the example of some members of N&P and withdrawing from the organic certification system. There are similar cases in Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, India, Italy and France. Resistance to organic big business is growing across the globe. More and more smallholders, rural communities and small farmers' cooperatives are defending smallholder farming and other forms of agriculture that emphasise farming on a human scale, respect for biodiversity and food sovereignty. Many choose not to apply for organic certification and have created participatory guarantee systems founded on exchange and trust between producers and consumers. Networks have been formed to defend the right of farmers to grow and sell their own seed. In France, the associations for the maintenance of smallholder farming (Amap) that put consumers in direct touch with producers, bypassing the market, are so popular that they are unable to satisfy demand. The Terre de Liens organisation raises and provides funds to help young people establish themselves as organic farmers. To set itself apart from the EU regulations, the Fédération Nationale de l'Agriculture Biologique (national federation for organic farming) has created a new brand, Bio Cohérence. This will complement official certification, requiring users to maintainfar higher standards and follow principles inspired by those adopted by Ifoam in 1972. N&P continues to defend its ideals of organic smallholder farming. The future of organic food and farming depends on whether or not social and ecological values remain part of the concerns of producers, processors and consumers. Will it become just another sector of the market, governed only by neoliberal economics? Or will it continue to offer an alternative?

Workplace bullying has detrimental effects on victims and organizations. Research from the bully's perspective is lacking resulting in unknown causes for the aggressive behavior. Research indicates some child bullies have histories of maltreatment and that bullying may persist throughout adulthood. The purpose of this non-experimental quantitative study was to examine associations between workplace bullying and childhood abuse/neglect, actual or perceived current victimization, attachment style, and the desire to gain social dominance. An examination of the possible influence of social dominance on the relationship between abuse and workplace bullying was also included. Social dominance theory and attachment theory provided the framework for the study. The sample consisted of 126 adult men and women. The survey instrument included the Bullying Behavior Scale, Social Dominance Q-Scale, Social Dominance Orientation Scale, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Coercion and Conflict Scale, and Adult Attachment Scale. Data analysis included ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and linear regression. ANOVA results indicated significant associations between low- to mid-range incomes and certain industries and workplace bullying. There was a negative correlation between the relationship workplace bullying and childhood abuse/neglect. Results for domestic violence, social dominance need, and attachment style were not significant. There were no moderating effects of social dominance on the occurrence of workplace bullying and childhood abuse/neglect. Improvements to workplace environments and coping programs for bullies might result from this study's outcome.

Sicilian Bread- Making Workshop for our Home Economics Students. On the 23rd of November 2012 the Home-Economics department was visited by a Sicilian lady Maria Concietta Micieli who comes from the region of Ragusa. This was a very unique opportunity for the Grade Eleven students as she was very happy to share with us some typical Sicilian culinary skills. Mrs. Micieli demonstrated the different bread shapes baked on typical feast days. The students not only had the opportunity to watch her but also to practise on their own piece of bread dough and make their own unique shape. She later also demonstrated the making of Torrone which is a typical Sicilian sweet made with whole almonds, honey, sugar and cinnamon. It was a very enjoyable afternoon indeed and all the students will surely remember the different skills they learnt.

Thread: How often do you performing DJs use the filters/EQ/FX/samples during sets? Whatever your opinion of this guy, Cole Plante, I have to say at least in this performance, he used a lot of EQ/FX/utilization of samples really tight in a few minutes but do performing DJs usually do this for hours? I could conceivably try to do this for 30 minutes but for an hour, much less 2 or more, to do this much activity outside of just spinning seems impossible to me now. The music starts after the 6:10 mark and lasts for a few minutes. I'm also assuming for this type of performance, all his songs are definitely beatgridded, time sync is enabled, so he wouldn't have to worry about beat matching and could focus on the triggering of samples and FX. tons of eq use for me, i also use the delay, loops and reverb alot. But if you use it right them it sounds good. Sometimes Im a bit heavy handed other times Im pretty much hands off I usally throw a sample or 2 into the mix as well. i watched it, kind of an awkward video, I feel like those kids are not feelin it. Word. But good effort nonetheless. I love using filters to mix but not like those harsh Pioneer filters. I also eq like crazy and sometimes prefer to eq out a track than messing around with the fader. I use eq for every transition, fx about every 3-4 songs - depending on the genre, and tend to use a sample clip/loop once every set.

The Importance of Timely Performance Appraisals By Ruth Mayhew What Are the Dangers of Employees Talking Negatively at Work? Multitasking Effects on a Worker's Performance How to Measure the Effectiveness of an Employee Evaluation Process What Makes a Poor Employee Evaluation? Importance of HR Audits During the hiring process, recruiters and hiring managers tell employees when and how they will receive performance appraisals. Employees trust employers to follow through on all promises -- from paying employees on time to giving employees holidays off to evaluating their performance. Therefore, conducting performance appraisals is an important consideration when it comes to placing value on the company's human capital. Salary and wage increases often are based on performance appraisal results. Untimely appraisals can throw off compensation practices and cause more work for payroll processing. In addition, employees mark their calendars for annual increases and potential bonuses. Preventable delays in delivering employee performance appraisals cause frustration among employees and additional work for payroll processing clerks responsible for calculating retroactive and pro rata increases. Employees look for opportunities elsewhere whenever they feel unappreciated or when they have reason to believe their employer doesn't think highly of the work they perform. When supervisors procrastinate on performance appraisals, it conveys the message that employees aren't important enough to set aside sufficient time to conduct evaluations. An untimely performance appraisal essentially says the work employees perform isn't critical to the business model and that other matters take priority over employees. Human capital is your largest investment and an on-time performance appraisal is the best way to demonstrate your appreciation for an employee's effort. Most employees perform at an average level. If you use Jack Welch's practice of differentiation, roughly 10 percent of your workforce is operating at a marginal level. This suggests that better than half of your workforce will need to make performance improvements at some time during the working relationship. Untimely performance appraisals further delay performance improvement. The sooner you let employees know how to improve their performance, the sooner you can see the results from improvements. Factors such as compensation, satisfaction and performance, when combined, seriously impact your organization's productivity. Employees who exhibit signs of low job satisfaction and low employee morale are less productive. In turn, low productivity affects your company's business cycles because it becomes difficult to meet customer demands. Like dominoes, untimely performance appraisals disrupt employee productivity, which ultimately presents obstacles in achieving organizational goals. The failure to conduct a performance appraisal or to conduct a timely performance appraisal can increase your organization's exposure to claims regarding unfair employment practices. If your supervisors and managers put off the performance appraisals, employees begin to wonder why they haven't received an appraisal. When employees file formal complaints about discriminatory employment practices, courts may take into consideration the manner and timeliness with which supervisors evaluate employee performance.

West make the short trip to Irlam hoping to spark an unlikely survival bid. Last weekend's defeat to Squires Gate left West six points adrift of Hanley Town and Winsford United, though a West win at Silver Street could be pivotal with both their relegation rivals out of action until they face off against each other next weekend. Irlam made a superb start to the season, remaining unbeaten in all competitions until 22nd September and winning away at Prescot Cables in the FA Cup preliminary round. They also enjoyed an extended run in the FA Vase, but have faded since the turn of the year and last weekend's win over Charnock Richard was just their third in 11 games.

" What were all these policemen doing in front of us and the trade-union? Now, we have to ask those who stand against us even when we talk about the union bosses, even when we say the unions should be questioned: if there is a 15 thousand-strong police barricade in front of us and the trade-union, why do the trade-unions exist? If you ask me, it is quite natural for the police to protect the union and the union bosses, because don't the union and the trade-unionists protect the government and capital?" Turkey: solidarity with Tekel workers' resistance against government and unions (part 3) & Lessons: Why do the trade unions exist? What is their function? We offer of warmest thanks to the Tekel worker who wrote this article which covers the period from March 2nd and April 2nd, and draws a balance sheet of the general process. On March 2nd, despite all our rejections, the tents were taken down by the union bosses and the street in front of the Turk-Is HQ was cleared with us being told we had to return home. 70 to 80 of us stayed in Ankara in order to discuss what we could do for the next three days. After these three days, 60 of us returned to our hometowns, and 20 of us including myself stayed for two more days, so although the Ankara struggle lasted for 78 days, we stayed for 83. We agreed that we had to work very hard in order to advance the struggle, and I too eventually returned to Adiyaman. As soon as I got back from Ankara, 40 of us went to visit our class brothers and sisters involved in the Cemen Tekstil strike in Gaziantep. The Tekel struggle was an example to the class. I was, as a Tekel worker, both proud and also thought that I thought we could do more for our class and that I had to contribute to our class. Although my economic situation did not allow it and despite the exhaustion of 83 days of struggle and other problems, I had to do more than I could to move the process further. What we had to do was to form a formal committee and take the process into our own hands. Even if we couldn't formalize it, we at least had to form it by keeping in contact with workers from all cities, since we were to return to Ankara on April 1st. We have to go to everywhere we can and tell people about the Tekel struggle to its last detail. For this we have to form a committee and unite with the class. Our job is harder than it seems! We have deal with capital on the one hand, the government on the other and the trade-union bosses on the other hand. We all have to struggle in the best way. Even if our economical situation isn't good, even if we are physically tired, if we want victory, we have struggle, struggle, struggle!!! Although I was away from my family for 83 days, I stayed at home only for a week. I went to Istanbul to tell people about the Tekel resistance without even having a chance to catch up with my wife and children. We had many meetings of the informal Tekel workers committee especially in Diyarbakir, Izmir, Hatay, and I participated in many meetings with fellow workers from the informal committee in Istanbul. We had meetings in the Mimar Sinan University, one in Sirinevler Teachers' Hostel, one in the Engineers' Union's building, we had discussions with pilots and other aircraft workers from the dissident Rainbow movement in Hava-Is [a trade union], and we met with law employees. We also met with the Istanbul chairman of the Peace and Democracy Party and asked for Tekel workers to be given the chance to speak on the Newroz holiday. The meetings were all very warm. Our request from the PDP was accepted and they asked me to participate in the Newroz demonstrations as a speaker. Because I had to return to Adiyaman, I suggested a fellow worker from Istanbul as a speaker. While I was in Istanbul, I visited the struggling firemen, Sinter metal workers, Esenyurt municipality workers, Sabah newspaper and ATV television strikers on the last day the struggling workers from the Istanbul Water and Sewers Department (ISKI). For half a day, we talked with these workers how we can make the struggle grow bigger and also we told them about the Tekel struggle and discussed. What the ISKI workers told me first was that they started their struggle with the courage they got from the Tekel workers. Every demonstration I went to, every struggle I visited, this I heard, 'We got courage from Tekel', in the week I spent in Istanbul, this made me feel the happiest. The time I spent in Istanbul was very fulfilling for me also. There were also bad things, of course, unfortunately a close relative of mine passed away but I still decided not to leave and stay the whole week as planned. Speaking of bad things, in this period, 24 student class brothers and sisters were kicked out of their school (Mehmetcik High School) for supporting the Tekel struggle. Also, in Ankara, a class sister of ours from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), Aynur Camalan, was fired. When capital is attacking us workers like this, so ruthlessly, we have to unite against it. Thus we made two press announcements in Adiyaman and showed that our friends were not alone. We also had been preparing for the demonstration on April 1st. What the trade-union bosses wanted was to go to Ankara with 50 people from every city, with a total of one thousand. As the informal committee, we increased this number from 50 to 180 in Adiyaman alone, and I myself came to Ankara with ten other workers on March 31st. Despite all the announcements of the union to make the number limited to 50, we managed to help 180 workers come (with us covering the costs, not the union), because we were aware of how the trade-union wanted to manipulate like they did before. We had meetings with lots of mass organizations, associations and unions. We visited Aynur Camalan, the TUBITAK worker sister, who had lost her job. On April 1st, we gathered in Kizilay [the centre of Ankara, the capital of Turkey] but we had to make a lot of effort to get to the street in front of Turk-Is, because 15 thousand policemen guarded the building. What were all these policemen doing in front of us and the trade-union? Now, we have to ask those who stand against us even when we talk about the union bosses, even when we say the unions should be questioned: if there is a 15 thousand-strong police barricade in front of us and the trade-union, why do the trade-unions exist? If you ask me, it is quite natural for the police to protect the union and the union bosses, because don't the union and the trade-unionists protect the government and capital? Don't the trade-unions exist only in order to keep the workers under control on behalf of capital? On April 1st, despite everything, 35-40 of us managed to cross the barricade one by one and went to the street in front of Turk-Is. Our purpose was to have a certain majority and to manage for other friends of ours to get there, but we failed, unfortunately our majority couldn't deal with 15,000 policemen. The trade-union had declared previous that only 1000 of us would come to Ankara. As the informal committee, we managed to increase this number to 2300. 15,000 policemen were blocking the way of 2300 people. We gathered on Sakarya street. We were to at least spend the night there, with all those who came to support us. Within the day, we had been attacked twice by the police with pepper gas and police batons. Our purpose was of course to spend the night on the street in front of the Turk-Is HQ but when we came up against the police, we stayed in the Sakarya street, but during the night the trade-unionists silently and cunningly called for fellow workers to leave the area. We remained only as a certain minority. The trade-unionists called myself too several times and told me to leave the area but we did not heed to the call of the union bosses and stayed as a certain minority. When the supporters also left around 23:00, we had to leave as well. There was to be a press announcement on April 2nd. When we were about to enter Sakarya street at about 9:00 in the morning, we were attacked by the police, who again used pepper gas and batons. An hour or so later, about a hundred of us managed to cross the barricade and had a sit-in. The police kept threatening us. We kept resisting. The police finally had to open the barricade and we managed to unite with the other group who had remained outside. We started marching towards Turk-Is but the union bosses did what they had to again, and made their press announcement 100 meter away from the Turk-Is HQ. No matter how we insisted, the union bosses resisted to going to the street in front of Turk-Is. The union and the police joining their hands, and some among us actually falling for what they stood for, we ended up not managing to go to where we wanted to go. There was an interesting point among the things the trade-unionists had said. They said we will come back on June 3rd and stay in front of Turk-Is for three nights. It is curious how we will manage to stay there for 3 nights, as we didn't even stay for a single night this time. Afterwards, the police had to first protect the trade-unionists from us and aid their escape, then we were left alone with the police. Regardless of the threats and the pressures of the police, we did not disperse and then we were once again attacked with pepper spray and batons and had to disperse. In the afternoon, we had a black wreath made by some flourists in order to condemn Turk-Is and the government, which we left in front of the Turk-Is building. We the Tekel workers say that even if our head hits the ground, still we shall leave an honorable future for our children.

Accountants Behaving Badly: PCAOB Fines Australian Firm, Larcenies In Massachusetts, Slammer Time Plus, a former chartered accountant in India is accused of murder, and a U.K. accountant is jailed for three years for stealing thousands of pounds from car dealership. PCAOB fines Australian accounting firm $50,000, revokes registration for not following auditing rules too well [PCAOB] The PCAOB recently revoked the registration of Sydney-based HLB Mann Judd and fined it $50,000 for violating PCAOB rules and auditing standards in connection with the firm's audits of an issuer client's financial statements for six fiscal years, as well as violating quality control standards. The PCAOB also fined auditor Darryl Swindells $15,000 and auditor Aidan Smith $10,000, and barred each for being an associated person of a registered public accounting firm for three years and one year, respectively. HLB Mann Judd can reapply for PCAOB registration after three years. And here's a nice little summary of what HLB Mann Judd, Swindells, and Smith did poorly: Swindells was the engagement partner who authorized the issuance of the Firm's first three audit reports on the Issuer A engagement, and who had final responsibility for the audits of Issuer A's FY 2012 through FY 2016 financial statements. Smith was Swindells' successor on the engagement, served as the engagement partner who authorized the issuance of the Firm's fourth audit report on the Issuer A engagement, and had final responsibility for the audit of Issuer A's FY 2017 financial statements. When HLB Mann Judd accepted Issuer A as an audit client and performed audits of six years of Issuer A's financial statements, the Firm was not in a position to adequately audit issuer clients under PCAOB rules and standards. It failed to (i) train its personnel to perform issuer audits in accordance with PCAOB standards and (ii) staff its audits of Issuer A with auditors qualified and knowledgeable to perform issuer audits in accordance with such standards. The Firm also lacked quality control policies and procedures that addressed the requirements of, or otherwise referenced considerations distinctive to, issuer audits. As a result, the Firm violated PCAOB rules, auditing standards, and quality control standards. Swindells and Smith also violated PCAOB rules and auditing standards in connection with their audits of Issuer A. They did so in connection with three aspects of those audits: client acceptance and continuance; audit planning and performance; and documentation. With respect to audit planning and performance, those deficiencies arose in key areas of the audits: risk assessment for Swindells, and revenue testing and goodwill valuation testing for Swindells and Smith. Former town accountant accused of stealing more than $729,000 from Uxbridge, Monterey and Millville [MassLive] Justin Cole, the former accountant for the town of Uxbridge, has been charged with stealing more than $729,000 from multiple municipalities, including more than $650,000 from Uxbridge, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced on July 7. Cole is also accused of stealing $24,597 from Monterey and $47,600 from Millville. Cole, 38, was indicted by a statewide grand jury on five counts of of larceny over $250, two counts of larceny over $1,200, four counts of false claims, four counts of securing an unwarranted privilege, and a single count of unlawful financial interest of a municipal employee. Former Newburyport-based accountant charged with larceny, embezzlement [Salem News] Patricia Lindau, a former Newburyport accountant, was charged with larceny and embezzlement after she shuttered her bookkeeping business, left clients with unpaid taxes, and moved to Maine, according to the district attorney in Essex, MA. Lindau, 60, who ran payroll services firm Northeast Abacus Inc., was charged with two counts of larceny and two counts of embezzlement by a tax preparer. She is expected to be arraigned July 21. Authorities launched an investigation after receiving complaints from two former clients of Lindau's. The complaint alleges that Lindau stole an estimated $60,300 from two small businesses, located in Danvers and Haverhill, when she failed to pay their state taxes. Lindau and her website disappeared in May, leaving her clients owing back taxes to the state and the IRS, according to several business owners. Orange County man sentenced to 2½ years in federal prison for embezzling $1.8 million from commercial real estate company [Justice Department] Duy Duc Nguyen was sentenced recently to 30 months in federal prison for embezzling more than $1.8 million from his employer, Anaheim-based Milan Capital Management, a commercial real estate management company and developer. Nguyen, 38, was also ordered to pay $1,812,331 to Milan Capital Management. He pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud last January. Here's why the feds are locking Nguyen up: Milan Capital employed Nguyen as an accounts payable clerk in its accounting department from July 2014 to December 2017. Beginning in January 2015 and continuing until March 2018, Nguyen stole the password of Milan Capital's treasurer, then used it without permission to alter the bank account and routing information listed in certain vendor accounts in the company's accounting system, replacing them with his own bank account and routing numbers. As a result, Nguyen fraudulently caused Milan Capital to make payments directly into his bank account while seemingly paying the actual invoices of legitimate vendors. Nguyen also altered company records and lied to company executives when they asked about vendors' complaints of non-payment of various invoices. The company ultimately paid the actual vendors in what amounted to a duplicate payment. After Milan Capital terminated Nguyen in December 2017, he continued to steal money from the company until his scheme to defraud was discovered in March 2018. During this period, Nguyen unlawfully gained entry into Milan Capital's office by using an improperly retained key and by misusing one or more passwords to gain access to the company's accounting system and fraudulently cause the company to transmit more money into his bank account.

The difficulty with this one in my experience is not with keeping your own assets, but with getting all four towers before the enemy's reinforcement count hits zero. Not requiring the last two towers, or only one of them, would be a welcome change. We managed to do that achievement today with a group of ~20 people using preform AB enabler. 6-7 people including a couple healers rush the 2 Dun Baldar towers and wait 5 minutes for them to be destroyed. The other players make sure Galvagar stay alive and should be enough to block alliance from capturing any tower. DON'T kill Balinda ever or the alliance will run out of points before you can destroy the 4 towers. Once the 2 north towers are down , the 6-7 people go suicide in Vandar room or recall back to the base. Then focus on the 2 remaining towers while keeping yours alive. Make sure none of your towers are under attack when you win or you won't recieve the achievement. The safest way is to keep at least 2/3 players in every horde towers once you destroyed the alliance ones and then wait for the win. I just did this Achievement with a Premade. We did it in one try. This tactic is for the HORDE. Got this while trying to get Little Helper - must have joined the right group! I got this in my second AV ever. Before this, horde's last victory was in 2008, or so at least people told me. Somehow managed to get this achievement on my DK.Pure PuG AV.Hell I didn't even know we were going for it. We just sort of rolled over the Alliance and continued to stomp them over and over every time we met them.Of course, we usually used to win when numbers were even.Now with games not starting until 40 on both sides, I think a lot more Horde on my battlgroup will be getting this. This Achievement is somewhat strange. I have been playing an AV game that took quite a long time to complete and when it ended for reinforcements victory I saw one of my raidmates getting it. My guess would be this one behaves like time completion achievements for others battleground, meaning it only considers if you win AFTER you've joined and the towers and the captains have already been killed. Would really like to know or if anybody can hand out some help on this, since I was quite disappointed by seeing it happen. This seems to have changed. Either it's bugged or intentional, but this achievement seems to be being awarded if you only have Galvangar alive, regardless of if you have destroyed all their towers or you own all of yours. Had this awarded to people with 2 of their towers still alive, 2 of our bunkers burned and only Galvangar alive. I met all the criteria for this achievement yesterday. We won the Alterac Valley by killing Vanndar, Galvangar was alive, North- and Southbunker were tapped, Stonehearth and Icewing destroyed. Yet I didn't get the achievement. I demand justice. I wrote a ticket and I'm going to make a drama about it. I have 150 AV wins now. How did your ticket go? I was in AV 1h ago, we had all towers up, ally had 3 towers down, DBS was capped, Galvangar alive, Balinda dead. Also opened ticket, waiting for response. I somehow expected bug, so I took screenshots 10 secs before win. I got achievement in following games, while was waiting for GM answer. It was total PUG. And random as hell. We did kill Balinda, then destroyed all 4 towers. - Ask at start if people are up for achievement. Communication is first step towards completion. - Focus healers at Galvangar (good addon to help you with that is "Healers Have To Die". Use your Schlachtstandarte der Horde as well. - With a decent number of people, after you defend Galvangar, go and cap SH bunker. Defend SH with 5 people at least. - Alliance gets mad after they fail with Galvangar and they will try to defend. - Don't rush. It will take time. - It's good if you can destroy IW without capping SH gy. If that is your scenario, immediately take few stealthers and rush DBN and DBS while your group distract (read: farm) alliance on SH gy. - Keep 1-3 people at IB and TP to prevent ninja caps in last minute. For Frostwolf Keep 1-2 person is enough to cover both towers. - 1 person should stay at Galvangar and alert if somehow big number of Alliance passed and they are going to attempt kill him. - If your group killed Balinda, letting alliance to have both mines is nice way to extend game enough to keep all 4 towers down. DONT COUNT ON BUGS. They are either fixed, or work in randomly created scenarion where you join after something is destroyed etc. Good luck, you will need it! BY FAR the hardest part of this achievement is finding 39 other people willing to do it right. Honestly I wish Blizzard would remove this from the meta, if they're not going to provide a way to queue a premade 40-member group. On a few occasions in a random BG we've been close enough to get this if people would hold off on killing the other side for a minute or so (so as not to run out of reinforcements before destroying a final tower or two), and nobody listens. In fact they mock me for caring about it. I've seen several people get this achievement undeservedly in non-qualifying matches. It makes me wonder what proportion of people who have it got it fairly. Not really; after a few days of attempts I queued with a friend of mine today (38 people random), we got a fail-alliance group (saying this because we managed to beat them even where we were outnumbered) and a good horde group, for once willing to listen, also. Usual tactic, defended at galvangar at start; after a few alliance wipes, 1-2 of us always kept an eye on galvangar while a few groups were going to take back our towers\graveyards; a few went north to take bunkers and defended them till actually we got them. They tried to come again to galvangar when they had lost all of their towers, so we formed a big group and wiped them again; we had like 520 reinforcements when alliance had around 100, we were temped to go kill balinda, but feared they might have killed galvangar fast (not even 4 millions hp), so we didn't risk, and kept farming them in the field of strife. They probably tried to ruin our achievement, assaulting Tower Point when they had around 15 reinforcements, because if we hadn't defended it before they reached 0, we'd have failed. The game ended around 500 to 0 reinforcements, so the answer is: "Yes, this achievement is still possible at 85 in random groups, just need the right circumstances and a few people reporting incoming assaults". Been farming AV for weeks now. Had to complete 100 victories and now this is the only achivement I'm missing for Battlemaster. It is so frustrating to que AV again and again and see people not even trying to get it just saying "lose fast please" I get this achievment yesterday with a 27 or 28 man premade from US-Ragnaros with the addon "Preform AV Enabler" 1) Send 15 to defend Glav. 2) Send 4 dps (2 rogues 2 ferals) to defend West tower in our base. 3) Send 1 tank and 1 healer to defend East tower in our base. 4) Send 6 people with all the non-premade guys to cap DBN an DBS. Before defend Galv we let 3 dps and 2 healers with Glav and send 5 (2 healers 1 tank) to Bloodice and 5 (2 healer 1 tank) to Point Tower and defend it (we have to backcap Point toweer and that was the hardest part cause there was like 12 allys there). When left around 1.5 minutes to cap DBN and DBS we cap all gys in the middle and south part, so allys spawn in their start camp. When we cap DBN abd DBS we send the 10 people who was in there to cap the 2 missing towers (one by one). When we cap the 4 allys tower we send 1 dps and 1 healer to kill Ballinda and we have again 10 peoples in Glav and 5 in each base (Point Tower and Bloodice). Allys try to attack or Bloodice or Glav but we wipe they like 3 times. When we kill Balind we left like 40 resources to win and just stay there defending towers and killing allys one by one. Maybe if we have controlled both mines we just need to kill Ballinda to win. Just curious if anyone has tried to do this in MoP? Are premades of that size even still possible now with RBG in the game? The hardest part of this achievement is preventing the enemy from running out of reinforcements before you take all the towers. Don't kill Balinda, let them have mines, and don't kill any more than you have to. Saw the other faction get it twice. Which confirms that this can be done without premades. Still hope for some of us! Got this achievement today. It probably helped that the Alliance team featured a 10-man multiboxer. Just got this today - we didn't have ALL of the alliance towers, we still needed dun baldar north & south towers, but had galv up and none of our towers down. so the acheiv might need to be updated to just say "without losing any of ur towers or captains". Unfortunately the win ratio for Horde on Alterac Valley is extremely low given the sheer volume of Alliance premades that now play this particular BG so just winning is now an achievement. That being said, here is what you will face, make your plans accordingly. - A paladin or DK will be running full speed straight for your frostwolf GY, you must have 1-2 people waiting for him or Alliance will cap it and will then spawn next to Drek making this achieve impossible. - A major stand must be made to defend Galv at the onset. A good tactic here is to do the run-by in middle but turn the troops around and run in on Galv while Alliance are still attacking him, otherwise you will have to take out 35 of the 40 players since they are all headed in this direction already. - After the above two things are accounted for the main group must kill Balinda and work up the map quickly, likely going all in extremely early. This will require most of the troops to be up north with just a handful of defenders recapping bases. The GOOD news is that Alliance premades often leave Alliance players confused or indifferent when their regular tactic doesn't work. If you can break the plan early, and stick to your plan, premades can be beaten in this 40 man bg. - Make a stand for Balinda at the onset but wait for Horde to be attacking her before coming in behind them, many will not break off their attack on Balinda and so can be easily cleaned up. If they SEE many Alliance waiting at Balinda they will bring more troops, stand on the west side of the keep, outside, and wait for the 15-20 who will blindly rush in. - A small recap team will do just fine, Horde is notorious for capping and then running off. I rarely see more than 2-3 protecting any tower/bunker. Hope this helps, I thought this needed updating because the previous tactics are years old. Guys, any suggestions on how to do this achievement 5.4+++? I've played a lot of games, but most of the time we (horde) loose on our battlegroup. Got this on my lvl 70 Alliance char back in 2008, no premade. I also managed to get it today, 8 years later, on my lvl 100 Horde char, still no premade. I think we got really lucky, considering that Horde loses most of AV's. I think we just had people willing to cooperate at the start. I suggested to have at least 10 people on each tower, and surprisingly people followed this. We skipped Balinda at the start and killed her after the towers. Really lucky tho! I advise everyone to try going for this achievement while the game is on the Pre-Expansion Patch. Right now guards are lvl109 while we are still lvl100. The graveyard guards can kill any players easily, while the tower's crossbow equipped guards are bringing down your hp by 15-20%/shot. The bosses Galvagar, Balinda. Vandar Stormpike, Drek'thar are much stronger. Adding all this together, you can guess that defending the objectives is much easier, and usually there is no "go straight for the boss" games. Seems like the quest is bugged as of BfA prepatch (and I think onwards since they didnt fix it in the first few sets of AV bugs). Bugged in the sense that the achievement can be randomly gotten without meeting the criteria of it (as long as you win). I've seen people get it from 10-20 wins on average, I got mine after 50 wins. You will notice every once in a while from a winning game that some people in your raid group get this achievement, you just have to be lucky to be one of these people. I'm not sure if its bugged as the last comment mentioned but it does seem the requirements have changed slightly. I just achieved this in a pug group last night. We didn't take down every alliance tower (only 2) but we did not lose any of our towers. We win the game by the alliances resources hitting "o" and this achievement popped for a quite a few people. tend to turtle and its hard to push all the way to end. Now if my battlegroup could only win this one more then 25% of the time I could get the AV achievements wrapped up. :) Happy Hunting! Gewinnt im Alteractal, ohne einen Turm oder Hauptmann zu verlieren. Ihr müsst auch alle Türme der Allianz kontrollieren.

Home / Uncategorized / Fun-filled and Entertaining Pirate Party Games for Adults Looking for some fun pirate party games for adults? If yes, you are on the right page. Read on for some interesting games… A few years back, pirate parties meant a fun birthday event, organized by parents, for a ten year old. Today, this no longer holds true! Adult pirate parties are becoming quite a norm these days. Adventure, romance, a feeling of eternal youth – this is what pirate parties are meant to provide to the invitees. That's why, right from the invitations, decorations, food, dresses, to the games, everything at a pirate party should scream fun and adventure. Suggested below are some of the most interesting pirate themed games for adults, which can be easily made a part of any such party. Have a look… Pirate Party Game Ideas for Adults One of the most interesting games is a treasure hunt. Before the guests arrive, keep a number of things that remind you of pirates, such as headbands, eye patches, bottles of rum, chocolate coins, etc., hidden at various places at the party venue itself. If the party is at your home, keep such things in the kitchen, bedroom, living room, your lawn, balcony, etc. Next, draw a map which leads from one of these things to another. Have five – six copies of this map printed out. Once the guests arrive, divide them into three or four teams. Next, give each of these teams a map. Also instruct them that the team has to get hold of all the "pirate goodies" by finding its way through the map. The team which comes back first with all the "hidden treasures", is declared the winner. Sword Fight How about organizing a sword fight contest at the party? Sounds fun, doesn't it? Start with writing the names of all the guests who wish to participate in this game on small chits of paper. Fold the chits and keep them in a bowl. Next, take out two chits. The guests whose names are on the chit will be the first ones to fight. Give each one of them a sword and protective eye gear. When you whistle, they have to start fighting with a sword. The one who is able to touch the other one's heart with his sword is the winner and moves onto the next round. Again, a chit is taken out and the person whose name is on it, is the next opponent, and thus, comes to fight with the winner. Likewise, the game is played with one person moving into the next round and one getting eliminated. Finally, the person who remains in the end is the winner of the sword fighting contest. Cross the Bridge Take a few planks and join them together, as if to form a long bridge. Next, divide the guests into two teams and blindfold all your guests, except for the two team leaders. The rule of the game is that the team leader has to guide his team, from the start to the end of the bridge, in such a way that none of the team members fall off. So, one by one, the team members start to cross the bridge, with the leader giving instructions as to where to take the next step. In case a team member falls off the plank, the entire team has to start all over again. Likewise, the other team crosses the bridge too. In the end, the team which crosses the bridge in minimal time, is declared the winner. The Best Bartender This game can be played with five guests at a time. Give each of the guests a blender, juices, sodas, ice, honey, lime juice, and various types of rum. Next, ask them to come up with a rum-based cocktail of their own! The participants have to garnish the drinks as well, as they will be judged, both on taste and presentation. Appoint three judges who would taste the drinks and then give marks for the same. Likewise, each and every guest in the party is invited to make a rum cocktail. Change the judges after every five participants are done making the drink, so that everyone gets to taste the innovative cocktails. This activity can be a lot of fun at a pirate party. Aren't these games simply fantastic? So plan to keep a couple of them at your party. Give some good gifts to all the winners. If you are able to pull this off successfully, you will find the adults having as much fun as the kids, without a single care in the world, at your pirate party!

The Less 'Hoping & Dreaming', More 'Believing' State Of The Union Post-Mortem President Obama unveiled 12 key executive actions in his 6,778 word tome this evening at a reading level that was lower than the average of George W. Bush's SOTUs and the same as Clinton's (Flesch-Kincaid 9.8). From 'raising the minimum wage' to 'myRA' savings plans ("a guaranteed return with no risk"?) and from redesigned high schools to teach real-world skills (like EBT-card-usage?) to increasing college opportunities (blowing that bubble even bigger), it was a corporate-bashing, hopeful-job-creating manifesto that had less "hopes" and "dreams" than MLK's speech, but more "believing." Joe Biden loved it... The speech summarized...in words... for a quick comparison - MLK's "I have a dream" speech had 3 "believes", 4 "hopes", and 11 "dreams"... Tonight's SOTU had 10 "believes", only 1 "hope", and a disappointing 9 "dreams" Priorities for the Fed - Jobs 39 - 2 Stocks So much for inequality - Rich 1 - 1 Poor in pictures... and in headlines... *OBAMA URGES CONGRESS TO RAISE NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE TO $10.10 *OBAMA SEEKS TO LIMIT RETIREMENT TAX BREAKS FOR WEALTHIEST *OBAMA TO START 4 NEW MANUFACTURING INSTITUTES IN 2014 *OBAMA TO MEET CEOS THIS WEEK ON HIRING LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYED *OBAMA REITERATES CALL TO END FANNIE, FREDDIE `AS WE KNOW THEM' *OBAMA ANNOUNCES 12 EXECUTIVE ACTIONS IN STATE OF UNION SPEECH *OBAMA TO RAISE FEDERAL CONTRACTOR MINIMUM WAGE TO $10.10/HR *OBAMA PROPOSES NEW INCENTIVES FOR ALTERNATIVE-FUEL TRUCKS *OBAMA SEEKS TO REVIVE EXPIRED TAX CREDIT FOR BIOFUELS *OBAMA SAYS IN STATE OF UNION `GIVE AMERICA A RAISE' *OBAMA PLANS INFRASTRUCTURE TAX CREDIT FOR ALTERNATIVE FUELS *OBAMA SEEKS TO CREATE BUSINESS ZONES AROUND FRACKING *OBAMA SAYS 2014 CAN BE `BREAKTHROUGH YEAR' FOR U.S. *OBAMA REITERATES VETO THREAT ON POSSIBLE NEW IRAN SANCTIONS The 12 Key Executive actions... The President's top priority remains ensuring middle class Americans feel secure in their jobs, homes and budgets. To build real, lasting economic security the President will work with Congress and act on his own to expand opportunity for all so that every American can get ahead and have a shot at creating a better life for their kids. Middle Class Security & Opportunity at Work Raising the Minimum Wage through Executive Order to $10.10 for Federal Contract Workers. The President will also continue to urge Congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 across the nation because no one who works full-time should have to raise their family in poverty. Creating "myRA" – A New Starter Savings Account to Help Millions Save for Retirement. The President will take executive action to create a simple, safe and affordable "starter" retirement savings account available through employers to help millions of Americans save for retirement. This savings account would be offered through a familiar Roth IRA account and, like savings bonds, would be backed by the U.S. government. Building a 21st Century Workplace for America's Working Families. The President will host a summit on Working Families to highlight the policies that will ensure America's global economic competitiveness by supporting working families; showcase companies doing exemplary work in this space; and highlight model laws and policies from cities and states across the country in areas such as discrimination, flexibility and paid leave. Jobs & Economic Opportunity Launching Four New Manufacturing Institutes in 2014. American manufacturers are adding jobs for the first time in over a decade. To build on this progress, the President will launch four new institutes through executive action this year. These institutes will build on the four the President has already announced. Government-wide Review of Federal Training Programs to Help Americans Get Skills in Demand for Good Jobs. The President is directing the Vice President to conduct a full review of our federal job-training system to make sure programs are higher performing and driven by the needs of employers which are hiring so that they lead to well-paying jobs. In the coming months, we will help community colleges build partnerships with businesses so that as industries' skills needs change community colleges can quickly adapt. Partnering With Many of America's Leading CEOs to Help the Long-Term Unemployed. Later this week, as part of an ongoing effort that the Administration began several months ago, the President will convene a group of CEOs and other leaders around supporting best practices for hiring the long-term unemployed. Expanding Apprenticeships by Mobilizing Business, Community Colleges and Labor. This year the President will mobilize business leaders, community colleges, Mayors and Governors, and labor leaders to increase the number of innovative apprenticeships in America. Increasing Fuel Efficiency for Trucks. The President will propose new incentives for medium- and heavy-duty trucks that run on alternative fuels like natural gas and the infrastructure needed to deploy them, and the Administration will set new fuel efficiency standards for heavy duty vehicles. Partnering with States, Cities and Tribes to Move to Energy Efficiency and Cleaner Power. The President has directed his Administration to work to cut carbon pollution through clean energy and energy efficiency. Schools & Education Opportunity Connecting 20 Million Students in 15,000 Schools to the Best Technology to Enrich K-12 Education. The FCC is making a major down-payment on the President's ConnectED goal of connecting 99% of students to next-generation broadband and wireless technology within five years. In the coming weeks the President will announce new philanthropic partnerships – including by companies like Apple, Microsoft, Sprint and Verizon. Redesigning High Schools to Teach the Real-World Skills That Kids Need. This year, the Administration will announce the winners of a $100 million competition supporting redesigned high schools that give high school students access to real-world education and skills. Increasing College Opportunity and Graduation. Building on the success of the President and First Lady's College Opportunity Summit, in the coming months the President is asking colleges and universities, nonprofits and businesses to work with him on ways to improve students' access to and completion of higher education. And a key paragraph for all (even Tom Perkins?)... Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled. The cold, hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery, too many Americans are working more than ever just to get by – let alone get ahead. And too many still aren't working at all. Our job is to reverse these tides. It won't happen right away, and we won't agree on everything. But what I offer tonight is a set of concrete, practical proposals to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class, and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class. Some require Congressional action, and I'm eager to work with all of you. But America does not stand still – and neither will I. So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that's what I'm going to do. Ron Paul sums it up... Well, I certainly didn't learn anything new from this sp Full speech below: SOTU 2014 by zerohedge

Spiraltoppen is the roof of Drammen. To get to the top, you can walk from the town or drive up the unique Spiral Tunnel, reaching the top through six spirals over 1650 metres inside the mountain. The tunnel leading up there was completed in 1961, but the top has always been a popular goal for Drammen citizens on their days out. Spread over Spiraltoppen are a number of sights. At the viewpoint (you can see as far as Kongsberg) below the Spiralen Cafe is the old Vestre skanse entrenchment, fortified in 1902-05. In the northeast is Østre skanse. The cannon road goes in northwesterly direction along the edge of Bragernes ridge from Spiraltoppen to Jutultønna and further down to Årkvisla in Lier, offering several splendid views.

Trauma Pain Neuropathic General Pain Management Pediatric Pain Management Sports & Overuse Injury Home » Topics » Pain Comorbidities Dealing With Suicidality-Associated Psychological Pain Batya Swift Yasgur, MA, LSW "People who are acutely suicidal feel pain akin to losing a limb." Suicide, the 10th leading cause of death in the United States, has risen in incidence by 24% from 1999 to 2014, with the greater increase observed in the latter half of that period.1,2 At the opening session of the 169th Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), President-Elect Maria Oquendo, MD, identified suicide prevention as an urgent and central goal for APA.3 Psychiatrists in outpatient and inpatient settings are faced with difficult, anxiety-provoking decisions about what to do when a patient reports suicidal ideation and may either overestimate or underestimate suicidality.4 For this reason, it is essential for clinicians to be "adept at conducting a thorough targeted assessment."4 "There are no shortcuts," Igor Weinberg, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, told Psychiatry Advisor. Unbearable Pain Pioneer suicidologist Edwin Schneidman coined the term "psychache" to refer to the unbearable psychological pain that catalyzes suicidality.5 "People who are acutely suicidal feel pain akin to losing a limb," according to Aruna Jha, PhD, LCSW, Research Assistant Professor, University of Illinois at Chicago. "The clinician's role is to understand the nature, magnitude, intensity, and frequency of that pain." But many suicidal people experience difficulty describing these internal states, making assessment more challenging and demanding a high level of skill, Weinberg observed. Establishing Trust and Safety The starting point of suicide assessment is "creating a safe place where patients trust you enough to share their struggles," Jha told Psychiatry Advisor. This is accomplished by "demonstrating that you are okay with whatever they share and you are not afraid to talk about suicide." Reassurance is conveyed through verbal and nonverbal communication (eg, eye contact or tone of voice) and "acknowledges that, while the patient might find it hard to talk about suicidal thoughts, clinicians are accustomed to hearing them." Another important component of creating a trusting relationship is "the skill of talking to the person about painful emotional states without immediately trying to 'fix' them and without giving too many reassurances at first," Weinberg added, acknowledging that this is "difficult" because many clinicians would like to "do something right away to allay their own anxiety." But rushing in with premature solutions conveys that the clinician is impatient or unable to tolerate the patient's pain. Moreover, it is important to understand the patient's state in the moment. "We do not have an X-ray of how people think and what is going on in their minds." So before offering solutions, "it is important to get as close to an 'X-ray' as possible," he emphasized. Harnessing Your Curiosity Once a trusting relationship has been established, the clinician can move to the specifics of understanding what the patient's suicidal thoughts are. "Curiosity is your best tool, and it will guide your questions," Jha said. "For example, ask, 'how do you experience your suicidal thoughts? What time of day do you feel them the most?' You can further narrow it down by asking, 'do you feel suicidal in the evenings or mornings? When you are alone or with other people?' Try to elicit specific events that might be triggers." These questions are also part of laying the groundwork for psychoeducation, she said. "I explain that suicidal thoughts are like other thoughts. They ebb and flow in their intensity. If you do not act on them or do anything to aggravate them further, they subside in time." She encourages patients to note the pattern of their thoughts as related to suicidal impulses, and communicates that one can "make a choice to give in or not give in to the impulse." The Role of Assessment Tools According to the American Psychiatric Association's 2010 Practice Guideline for Assessment and Treatment of Patients with Suicidal Behaviors, self-report scales may be helpful framework in structuring the assessment process.6 However, the guideline warns against over-reliance on these instruments and emphasizes that rating scales "cannot substitute for thoughtful and clinically appropriate evaluation and are not recommended for clinical estimations of suicide risk."6 Jha recommended starting with an assessment tool and following up with a clinical interview. She warned clinicians "not to administer these tools in a mechanical manner" because "patients report not feeling comfortable or validated if the clinician's agenda is to check off boxes." Instead, she advised, sit next to the patient and complete the form together, using the patient's language to describe the symptoms and making sure that trust has been established first. Commonly used assessment tools are listed in Table 1.

Instead, patients feel cared for and appreciate the concern and detail." She added, "Patients who are suicidal sometimes say that their thoughts are like a dark cloud over their heads. If clinicians do not ask about those thoughts, it is as if they do not see the dark cloud, which feels invalidating." Tips for asking questions can be found in Table 2. How To Ask About Suicide Ask the most important question of all: "Are you thinking of killing yourself?" Ask after you have enough information to reasonably believe the person is suicidal Ask in a way that is natural and flows with the conversation Do not ask as though you are looking for a "no" answer ("You aren't thinking of killing yourself, are you?") Listen more than you speak Maintain eye contact Ask and act with confidence Do not argue Use open body language Limit questions to gathering information casually Use supportive and encouraging comments Jha A. Clinical Tech www.ctacny.com/…/ctac_suicide_prevention_training_-_aruna_jha-_7-17-13_1.pdf. Accessed: May 27, 2016. The "Suicide Cone" Jha explores with patients the frequency of their suicidal thoughts (eg, every week, every hour, every fifteen minutes). "If there is no interval between the thoughts, the patient is too vulnerable to leave the office," she said. The image of a cone is useful in shaping the discussion. "I explain that when the thoughts are few and far between, this is like the base of a triangle. As the state of mind intensifies or the triggering situation worsens, the thoughts tend to become more frequent and the cone becomes narrower, until suicide seems to be the only way to escape from the unbearable pain." Patients can identify their place on the cone, which helps the clinician determine the intensity of thought and lethality of intent and further expands the discussion. Using Warning Signs and Stratifying Risk The American Association of Suicidology has created a mnemonic, "IS PATH WARM," to assist clinicians in being alert to warning signs either reported by family, self-reported, or emerging via an assessment tool (Table 3).8 Additional warning signs are listed in Table 4. Based on these signs, and a broader evaluation of the patient's psychosocial support system, risk level can be stratified (Table 5). More detailed resources can be found in Table 6. IS PATH WARM: A Mnemonic for Recognizing Warning Signs Ideation: Suicidal statements or other communications Substance use: Increased use of drugs or alcohol Purposelessness: Feeling of meaninglessness, no purpose in life Anxiety: Agitation Trapped: Feeling sense of entrapment, no way out Hopelessness: Feeling no sense of hope Withdrawal: Withdrawing from friends, family, employment, society Anger: Rage, uncontrollable anger, revenge-seeking Recklessness: Risk-taking, reckless behaviors, seemingly without thinking Mood changes: Dramatic changes in mood American Association of Suicidology.

Accessed: May 27, 2016. Creating a Formulation for Suicide Risk Beyond an initial interview to assess immediate suicidal intent, a second assessment includes a more detailed interview that arrives at a "formulation of suicide risk," Weinberg said. "A 'formulation' is a meaningful understanding of how a particular person operates in multiple domains—for example, dealing with stress or life events such as loss, failure, or legal difficulties." It takes into account psychiatric or medical diagnoses, personal history, strengths and weaknesses, and relationships in "an attempt to understand how the various factors interact with each other and under what circumstances a given person might become suicidal." In ongoing treatment, it is important to conduct regular assessments, Weinberg said. "Once I have a formulation, I can keep track of where a patient stands in terms of risk. For example, if someone is particularly sensitive to loss, I am more likely to become alarmed and inquire about suicide if the person is experiencing a loss." Ambivalence and the Desire to Live There are 3 typologies of suicidal individuals: those with a wish to live, those with a wish to die, and those who are ambivalent.9 "Understanding how the suicidal mind works involves understanding ambivalence," said Weinberg. "The wish to die but also to stay alive creates the suicidal struggle." Ambivalence is one of the most important reasons that people acknowledge suicidality. "The part that wants to stay alive is what collaborates with the clinician, and what makes it more likely that the person will tell you about the wish to die," he said. Jha agreed. "Tap into the ambivalence and find out why the person wants to live," she advised. "Ask straightforward questions. For example, 'considering how difficult things have been for you, what has kept you alive so far? What is important to you now?'" When patients acknowledge why they are alive—for example, the "sheer joy of a relationship, or worry about what would happen to loved ones after they die"—this is the "clinician's instrument for working with the individual to increase the desire to live and diminish the desire to die," Jha said. She emphasized that this is a crucial component of the assessment. "Look for the attachment to someone or something positive and reinforce that."

Home » Lexelle Brokernet » Motorcycle Racing Sponsorship » British Superbike Championship – final race of 2019 approaches 16 Oct, 2019 in Motorcycle Racing Sponsorship / News by Susan Clegg The final race of the 2019 Bennetts British Superbike Championship takes place at Brands Hatch on 20th October. Lexelle-sponsored riders Tarran and Taylor Mackenzie will be hoping to consolidate their positions in what has been a season of highs and lows. The penultimate race at Donington Park brought disappointment for both riders. In Superstock 1000 Taylor made a perfect start from pole position and led the rest of the field before the safety car was deployed following an incident. Soon after, he suffered a large highside at Coppice Corner and had to retire from the race 5 laps in. Commenting afterwards, Taylor said: "Gutted doesn't even come close. Everything was running like clockwork this weekend, right up to the safety car period when I lost a lot of temperature from my rear tyre, which caught me out after the restart. It's my first DNF of the season, which as well as the missed opportunity to push for the win today, is also a source of frustration. I took a bit of a beating today, but nothing lasting, so I'm already looking forward to Brands Hatch and riding this new S1000RR again". It was a challenging weekend for Tarran as well. Conditions were wet for the warm-up, but the races were dry, so the team were unable to test any improvements in dry conditions ahead of race one. Tarran finished race 1 in 12th and 8th in race 2. "As we didn't get a dry warm-up, we couldn't try something different so we went into race one a little blind," he said. "The bike didn't feel the best and I struggled a lot on the front. We made a change for race two which definitely helped the bike, I had a lot stronger pace and was a lot closer to the guys in front which was good. I'm feeling better in myself and on the bike and gaining a lot more confidence. Brands was good for us earlier in the year until the crash so hopefully we can end the year on a high." Both riders are looking forward to the 2019 season finale at Brands Hatch. ← BIBA Knowledge Forum Leeds – key updates for brokers 2019 British Superbike season finale →

Electric scooter-sharing scheme launched in Barcelona Urban Transport Antonio Pasolini The Motit electric scooter-sharing scheme is currently being trailed in Barcelona While bicycle sharing schemes are now commonplace in the world's major urban centers, the city of Barcelona in Spain is giving the idea a jolt by adding electrification to the equation. The scheme called Motit was launched this European summer with a trial run that includes 50 all-electric scooters which, as well as being quiet and producing no tailpipe emissions, add a dash of purple to the Mediterranean city famous for its funky street life. The locally-produced bikes can reach an top speed of 65 km/h (40 mph), have a range of 40 to 60 km (25 to 37 mi) and include an on-board screen for navigation. The plan is to increase the number to 500 bikes by mid-2014. Users have the option to pay for a single trip or buy monthly and tourist packages. The first step is to download the free Motit app from the App Store or Google Play in order to book the point-to-point service. Users must be at least 21 years of age, have a car or 125cc motorcycle license. Going Green, the company behind the project, has tried to keep the cost of the scheme relatively low. Local people who use the service frequently have access to priority (€0.45/km, $0.59/h) and standard reservations (€0.55/km, $0.73/h). If they opt for the hourly rate it costs €4/h ($5.27/h) and €5/h ($6.59/h), respectively, while tourists will pay €6/h ($7.91/h) for an hour-long ride. For frequent users, a round trip fee of €54/h ($71.16/h) per month is available, besides other options. The bikes are approved to carry a passenger and in order to ensure a safe ride, Motit provides helmets. Insurance is also included, but the user is responsible for the first €50 ($65.89) of damages.

I absolutely love photography and it has done so much for me as a person. I have a love for the art and I know that I will always be working to grow in my craft. I have many dreams and goals for my photography, but on the journey to reaching them I love that it gives me a creative outlet to express myself while also providing a service to others by giving them special memories to cherish forever. This means more to me than any goal I could ever set for myself. I'm from a small town in Central Arkansas. I love what I do, but above all I love my family. I spend what little free time I have building furniture or making projects with my husband. Many of the props that I use in my shoots are designed and made by me so you can always know that nobody else is capturing the same thing. I'm typically a homebody, but I love to explore and get a major case of wanderlust if I go to long without traveling. My life as a wife and sister to four siblings has truly taken me to new heights in my never ending journey as a photographer. There is nothing I would love more than to capture the true essence and special bond between a family, provide a special keepsake for an individual, or stop time and keep your kids young forever because children grow wings and fly before we are all really ready to let them go. I hope you give me the privilege of documenting that which is most special to you. Your own family, your story, you. Don't be a stranger, come get social with me.

John Gherashe's love of lawn bowls and Terang Bowling Club first blossomed from a church social day some 30 years ago. "I put my first bowl down and I knew straight away I was hooked," he said. "I just started with Chicken Run on a Thursday night, but then Dan Morrison asked me why don't I play pennant? I said to him I was going to wait until I retired to play pennant. "He looked me in the eye, and said 'John you might be dead by then'. So I started playing pennant straight way." Gherashe's passion for the sport has now extended to daughter Filumena, 21, who is embarking on her first season of pennant. "She had nothing to do one afternoon and I was going to practice, so she asked to come along," Gherashe said. "She was hooked straight away too." Gherashe said his daughter had a lot of potential and was a "very keen" participant. "She'll go and practice in the morning, and then want to go back in the afternoon," he said. The retired Warrnambool College electronics teacher wears several caps at Terang, from player to selector along with a decade-long (and counting) stint as secretary. "When I retired (11 years ago), our secretary at the time stepped down, so Kevin Lee, one of our doyens at the club came to me and said 'John, you can use a computer can't you? Good, you're the new secretary'," he said. "I've been the secretary ever since. I make sure everything keeps rolling along and answer heaps of questions over email and phone. It's not uncommon for me to spend three or four hours a day doing behind the scenes stuff." On the greens, health issues have seen Gherashe move into the role of second this season after previous stints as third and skip. "I'm enjoying that role," he said. "I can put the bowls down and sit down if I need to; there isn't that intense pressure that can be on the skip." Gherashe said he enjoyed being a part of a "tight knit" group at Terang. "It's a good little country club," he said. "We're developing well at the moment, we've got new uniforms and built a new barbecue shed. And we've upped our sponsorships; the local community supports us really well." In division one weekend pennant, City Red defeated Terang Green 63-43 on Saturday, while Warrnambool Gold rose to top spot on the ladder after its 10-shot win over City Gold. Port Fairy Red hung on for a seven-shot victory over Warrnambool Blue, while Timboon Gold defeated Mortlake Blue 60-49.

Check out this story on montgomeryadvertiser.com: http://on.mgmadv.com/2f0BwpG Auburn: Major League Assessment Gabe Gross Special to the Advertiser Published 1:45 a.m. CT Nov. 4, 2016 Gabe Gross at Auburn University on Wednesday, July 29, 2015. (Photo: Albert Cesare / Advertiser) Games are made by matchups. Last week, the Ole Miss game was a tough matchup for Auburn. Ole Miss took away Auburn's strength on defense by not really attempting to establish much of a running game. The Rebels don't need to run the ball to be successful. They lead the SEC in passing, and so they instead relied primarily on throwing the ball. The Rebels threw 59 times primarily on short quick routes to get the ball out of the hands of Chad Kelly and keep Auburn's pass rush at bay. Kelly was surgical with the placements of his throws nearly all night, and Ole Miss put up over 400 yards passing, scored 29 points and nearly pulled off the upset. Vanderbilt on the other hand is not built the way Ole Miss is. The Commodores are dead last in the SEC in passing, and therefore won't have the luxury of abandoning their running game. The good news for Vanderbilt is that they do have one of the SEC's best running backs in Ralph Webb. He is second only to Auburn's Kamryn Pettway in the SEC in rushing. The bad news is that Auburn has given up just over 86 yards per game on the ground over its last four contests and stopping the run has become the strength of the Tigers defense. Barring a rash of turnovers or busted assignments, it's going to be difficult for Vanderbilt to move the ball with consistency against the Tigers. On the other side of the ball, Vanderbilt can be dangerous. For most of my recent and distant memory, Vanderbilt football hasn't been able to score points, but they seem to always play good enough defense to keep them in the game with a chance to win late in a lot of games. They rarely do win those games, but it does happen every so often. Just ask the Georgia Bulldogs. Defense is where Vanderbilt will make its stand. Renown run stopper middle linebacker Zach Cunningham leads the SEC in tackles by a wide birth, and Vanderbilt has yet to allow an SEC opponent to score more than 20 points in a game. They have won their last two games, including the upset of Georgia in Athens and are coming off a bye week. Vanderbilt will no doubt be fresh and ready to play when it enters Jordan-Hare (Stadium) on Saturday. I just don't think it's going to matter. I think the defensive advantage Auburn will have over Vanderbilt's offense is going to be too big to overcome. Vanderbilt's defense is indeed pretty good, but it's played four of the bottom six offenses in the conference so far. I don't think it has seen anything like what Auburn will show them, and I will be shocked if Auburn doesn't blow the 20-point mark out of the water. Overall, Auburn has better talent, and the matchups favor the Tigers. I love the position Auburn's football team finds itself. It's coming off a vastly disappointing season and coupled that with a poor start this season. In spite of that, it was able to turn the corner and slowly build a season. It has gained momentum and confidence with each of their last five wins. What you are left with is a highly talented team that is motivated by past disappointment with loads of confidence derived from recent success. Better mixes in a football team are hard to find. Gabe Gross is a former major league baseball player. He played football (and was a starting quarterback as a freshman) and baseball at Auburn.

Mo'Nique Sues Netflix For Race And Gender-Based Discrimination Gina Cook BEVERLY HILLS, CA - JANUARY 25: Actress Mo'Nique poses onstage at the 83rd Academy Awards Nominations Announcement held at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on January 25, 2011 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) There's nothing like a woman scorned! Apparently the Queen of Comedy is still fuming over the streaming giants disrespectful $500K offer to do her own comedy show. Oscar-winning actress and female comedy legend, Mo'Nique has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Netflix accusing them of race and gender-discrimination. HipHollywood.com reports the suit stems from the same fallout the star had with the media company back in January 2018. Below the superstar diva spills the tea in her own words via her Instagram page: The star whose real name is Mo'Nique Hicks is furious with the production company for refusing to renegotiate their original offer. She brought her argument to radio and TV, saying her resume' made her just as valuable and demanding Netflix raise the bar and pay what she was worth. Though Netflix acknowledged Mo is indeed an icon, they stood by their offer because that's how much they thought she would bring their service at the time of the offer. That she didn't do anything recent enough, to warrant more money. CBS reports in court docs the Precious actress accused the media streaming company of short-changing her because of her race and gender. She , she was offered far less than her Hollywood counterparts and s and and claimed the hell in court, where the Oscar-winning actress Netflix responded to her lawsuit and released the following statement: "We care deeply about inclusion, equity, and diversity and take any accusations of discrimination very seriously. We believe our opening offer to Mo'Nique was fair — which is why we will be fighting this lawsuit."

In An Absent Dream is the fourth story in Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series and although each book can be read as a standalone I think you're best to at least start with Every Heart a Doorway as all the other books feature characters we first met there. This is Lundy's story and if you read the first book you'll probably remember her as the old woman stuck in a body that has been ageing backwards since something went wrong with a deal she made at the Goblin Market. Seriously she's in her 80's but she only looks about 7 so you can imagine how weird her life is! Anyway, this is Lundy's story from when she actually was a child - in age not just physically. Like all of the children in Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children Lundy never quite fitted into the world she was born into, she was always a little too bookish and too prone to daydreams to have any interest in the people around her and when she stumbled upon a strange door in a tree she'd never seen before she suddenly finds herself in a place that feels much more like home. The Goblin Market isn't like any of the other worlds we've seen in this series, it's magical and full of weird and wonderful creatures but at the same time it can be incredibly dangerous. If you treat people fairly and are willing to contribute an equal share of the work you'll be fine as long as you're careful but anyone who cheats, steals or doesn't pull their weight will pay a high price. Lundy is very young in this story, she's intelligent and well read for her age but sometimes she thinks she knows more than she actually does so she doesn't always comprehend the consequences of her actions. She tries hard to deal with the Goblin Market fairly but she doesn't always get things right and that has a huge impact on her. If you've already read Every Heart a Doorway then you'll know the direction Lundy's story takes but I found it really interesting to see how she ended up in that situation in the first place. I found the whole Market fascinating and enjoyed the characters we meet along the way. This series is so much fun to read, I love how each book is completely different to the last and that there are still so many worlds we've not had a chance to explore yet. I'm happily going to continue to devour these stories as fast as Seanan McGuire can write them & hope we have a lot more to come.

Salt water makes lithium batteries safe September 07, 2017 //By Nick Flaherty Researchers at the US Army Research Laboratory and the University of Maryland have developed a lithium-ion battery that uses salt water as its electrolyte and provides 4.0 V for electronic devices without the risk of catching fire. "In the past, if you wanted high energy, you would choose a non-aqueous lithium-ion battery, but you would have to compromise on safety. If you preferred safety, you could use an aqueous battery such as nickel/metal hydride, but you would have to settle for lower energy," said Dr. Kang Xu, ARL fellow who specializes in electrochemistry and materials science. "Now, we are showing that you can simultaneously have access to both high energy and high safety." Many research teams are looking at solid state batteries to tackle the problem but the liquid cells can be more flexible. "This is the first time that we are able to stabilize really reactive anodes like graphite and lithium in aqueous media," he said. "This opens a broad window into many different topics in electrochemistry, including sodium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, multiple ion chemistries involving zinc and magnesium, or even electroplating and electrochemical synthesis; we just have not fully explored them yet." Previous research had produced a system that reached 3V. To make the leap from three volts to four, University of Maryland assistant research scientist Chongyin Yang designed a new gel polymer electrolyte coating that can be applied to the graphite or lithium anode. The hydrophobic coating expels water molecules from the vicinity of the electrode surface and then, upon charging for the first time, decomposes and forms a stable mixture of breakdown products that separates the solid anode from the liquid electrolyte, called the interphase. This protects the anode and allows the battery to use desirable anode materials, such as graphite or lithium metal, and achieve better energy density and cycling ability. "The key innovation here is making the right gel that can block water contact with the anode so that the water doesn't decompose and can also form the right interphase to support high battery performance," said Chunsheng Wang, Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering.

Chuang Tzu (Chuang Chou, ca, 360 BC), along with Lao Tzu, is a defining figure in Chinese Taoism. Chuang Tzu probably authored only parts of the first 7 chapters of the present text, the socalled Inner Chapters.

(Also transliterated as Chuang Chou, Zhuangzi, Zhuang Zi, and Zhoung Zhou) Chinese philosopher. Chuang Tzu is known as one of the most significant and Chuangtzu is one of the most significant interpreters of Taoism; his work is considered one of the most definitive texts of Taoism. ChuangTzu taught what can be understood of the Tao. Chuangtzu is famously known for his tale of his wifes death. Chuang Tzus Perfect Man Essay Sample Chuang Tzu was a brilliant, original, and influential Chinese philosopher who lived around the 4th century BCE. The background from which he arose involved a period of strife, conquest, oppression, and an attempt to preserve traditional societal values. Chuang Tzu Essay 878 Words 4 Pages. Discussion on making all things equal from the inner chapters of Chuang Tzu by Aven Fisher Through comparing different translations of the same texts one can get an idea of the meanings for the Chinese words used by Chuang Tzu in his work. In his Basic Writings, Chuang Tzu delineates the nature of what he believes is the perfect man, and he does so using three basic rhetorical devices. The most obvious are paradoxical anecdotal passages in which illogical statements push the mind into a state of deeper contemplation to discover an underlying truth. The main body of the essay consists of detailed discussion of his philosophic and literary masterpiece. As is obvious the original work is in the Chinese language, hence the main source of this essay is the translation of Chuang Tzu's complete work by the another famous orientalist A.

Schools Building Projects Status Cian O'Callaghan 299. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if funding will be provided to a school (details supplied) to create additional classes to meet the needs of the 150 applications that have applied for the 48 available places for the upcoming school year; if his attention has been drawn to the number of families living very close by including in Balgriffin, Dublin 13 that are considered outside the catchment area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5210/20] Written answers (Question to Education) Minister for Education and Skills The school to which the Deputy refers is currently in interim accommodation on the Grange Community College site pending delivery, when easing of the Covid-19 restrictions allow, of its intended interim accommodation on its permanent site on Belmayne Avenue, Belmayne. In addition to the interim accommodation for the post-primary school that site will also facilitate interim accommodation for a primary school and construction of the permanent building for the post-primary school. In that regard, there are restrictions on the amount of temporary accommodation that can be placed on the permanent site. Therefore it will not be possible for the school referred to by the Deputy to increase its enrolment intake beyond the current intake level (which is up to 48 pupils for its 1st year intake) for 2020/2021 academic year. In relation to School Planning Areas, in order to plan for school provision and analyse the relevant demographic data, my Department divides the country into 314 school planning areas and uses a Geographical Information System, using data from a range of sources, to identify where the pressure for school places across the country will arise. With this information, my Department carries out nationwide demographic exercises to determine where additional school accommodation is needed at primary and post-primary level. In April 2018, the Government announced plans for the establishment of 42 new schools over the next four years (2019 to 2022), including a new 1,000 pupil post-primary school which was established in 2019 to serve the Donaghmede_Howth_D13/Belmayne/Clongriffin school planning area. Patronage of the new school was awarded to Educate Together and the school opened in suitable interim accommodation in September 2019 pending delivery of the permanent accommodation for the school. For school planning purposes, Balgriffin is located in the adjacent Portmarnock school planning area. As the Deputy may be aware, a new 1,000 pupil post-primary school was established in 2018 to serve the Malahide and Portmarnock school planning areas as a regional solution and has just under 70 pupils enrolled in the 2019/20 school year. New schools established since 2011 to meet demographic demand are required, in the first instance, to prioritise pupil applications from within the designated school planning area(s) which the school was established to serve. This does not preclude schools from enrolling pupils from outside of the designated school planning area where they have sufficient places. In relation to school admissions, it is the responsibility of the managerial authorities of all schools to implement an enrolment policy in accordance with the Education Act, 1998. My Department's main responsibility is to ensure that schools in an area can, between them, cater for all pupils in the area seeking school places.

Das KZ-Außenlager München-Riem (OT, SS-Reit- & Fahrschule), teils auch kurz KZ-Außenlager München-Riem genannt, war ab Februar 1943 eines der 169 Außenlager des Konzentrationslagers Dachau, das zweitgrößte in München. Meist 300 bis 600 KZ-Häftlinge mussten nach Bombardierungen im Auftrag der Organisation Todt (OT) Aufräum- und Instandsetzungsarbeiten an den Rollbahnen des Flughafens München-Riem und den Werkstätten vornehmen. Sie waren in den etwa zwei Kilometer entfernten Pferdeställen der SS-Reit- und Fahrschule untergebracht. In München gab es zudem die KZ-Außenlager Agfa Kamerawerke und München-Neuaubing (Dornier), sowie mehr als 30 weitere Münchner KZ-Außenkommandos. Betrieb des KZ-Außenlagers Die Pferdeställe des KZ-Außenlagers in Münchens östlichem Stadtteil Riem waren mit Stacheldrahtzaun umgeben und wurden von der SS bewacht. Die Häftlinge stammten vor allem aus "Russland" sowie Polen, Frankreich, Italien und dem Deutschen Reich. Etwa 200 Sinti und Roma waren unter ihnen sowie eine unbekannte Zahl von Juden. Als "Russen" wurden die Gefangenen aus der Sowjetunion bezeichnet, sie standen bezüglich ihrer Nationalität am unteren Ende der Hierarchie und wurden besonders hart behandelt. So wurde ihnen zur Demütigung eine "Straße" ins Haar rasiert, sie durften keine Pakete empfangen und wurden auch keine Funktionshäftlinge. Die Gefangenen mussten schwere Erdarbeiten verrichten, doch die Ernährung war mangelhaft. Neben dünnem Kaffee gab es mittags wässrige Kohl- oder Kartoffelsuppe, abends Kaffee und etwas Brot. Im Ergebnis waren viele durch Unterernährung geschwächt und wurden bei Arbeitsunfähigkeit zurück ins KZ Dachau überstellt. Bei alliierten Luftangriffen brachte sich die SS-Mannschaft in Schutzräumen in Sicherheit, die Häftlinge waren den Bombardierungen ausgeliefert. So wurden am 9. April 1945 mindestens 41 getötet, am 11. April insgesamt 94 Verwundete ins KZ Dachau transportiert. Teils wurden Verwundete auch vor Ort von der SS erschossen. Im Frühjahr 1945 wurden 20 russische Häftlinge mittels Genickschuss vor Ort auf dem Appellplatz erschossen. Auch die meisten Fluchtversuche endeten so. Letzter Lagerführer war SS-Hauptscharführer Franz Xaver Trenkle, der Gefangene beim nichtigsten Anlass erschoss. Räumung des Lagers Zum Monatswechsel März/April 1945 wurden hunderte Gefangene der Räumungen der Außenlager des KZ Natzweiler-Struthof hierher gebracht, wie aus Neckarelz oder dessen Außenkommando KZ Neckargerach. Die verspätete Stärkemeldung vom 26. April 1945 gab 1542 Gefangene in diesem KZ-Außenlager an. Doch bereits am 24. und 25. April waren die jüdischen Häftlinge mit Lastkraftwagen in das KZ Dachau transportiert worden, sie wurden dort am 29. April von der US-Armee befreit. Todesmarsch Richtung Bad Tölz Frühestens am 25. April mussten sich etwa tausend KZ-Häftlinge auf den Todesmarsch Richtung Tirol machen. Etwa 500 kamen wohl über Trudering, die anderen über Großhesselohe, Grünwald, Deiningen und Dettenhausen (Egling) über Unterleiten (Dietramszell) bis kurz vor Bad Tölz. Fotos aus Grünwald zufolge handelte es sich wohl vor allem um Russen. Die Marschstrecke selbst ist durch die Toten in Egling, Unterleiten und Hechenberg gut belegt sowie die in Kirchbichl und Ellbach. Überlebende berichteten von Misshandlungen und Erschießungen derjenigen, die zu schwach zum Gehen waren. Befreiung des Lagers Im Außenlager München-Riem wurden nur die 137 dort zurückgelassenen Gefangenen von der US-Armee befreit. Juristische Aufarbeitung Der letzte Lagerführer Franz Xaver Trenkle wurde im Dachau-Hauptprozess Ende 1945 zum Tode verurteilt und im Mai 1946 in Landsberg am Lech hingerichtet. Die Staatsanwaltschaft München I stellte die Ermittlungen zu den Misshandlungen und Morden 1977 ein, da dieser Hauptverdächtige bereits verurteilt worden war. Erinnerung und Gedenken Viele nach diesem Todesmarsch angelegte KZ-Friedhöfe und -Grabstätten wurden zwischen 1955 und 1959 aufgelöst, die sterblichen Überreste der Todesopfer auf den KZ-Friedhof Dachau-Leitenberg und die Gräberanlage für KZ-Todesopfer auf dem Waldfriedhof Dachau umgebettet. Die ehemalige SS-Reitschule fand ihre Nachnutzung in der Polizeireitschule. Vor Ort gibt es keine Erinnerung an dieses Außenlager.

Lukaku names manager to succeed Roberto Martinez as Belgium's new coach Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku has named Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry as the manager to succeed Roberto Martinez as Belgium's new coach. Lukaku said Henry knows Belgium's staff and players, adding that he is the ideal person to take over from Martinez. Martinez ended his tenure as Belgium's head coach following the team's early exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The Spanish tactician was appointed back in 2016 and was out of contract after the 2022 World Cup. "I say it openly: he [Thierry Henry] will be the next coach [of Belgium national team]," told Sky Italia. "He has the respect of all the players, he has won everything. He knows how to coach, he knows what we have to do to get there. "He knows the team, the league, the staff. For me, he is the ideal coach for our national team. [If it isn't Henry], then I don't know who they will hire. But I don't think Belgium should start from scratch."

Whopper! I should get this stuffed! A big bass is an abnormally large bass caught while big net fishing at any big net/harpoon fishing spot. Since players can only get it while fishing for bass, it requires 46 Fishing to catch. Big bass are a very rare catch (1/1000), and catching one prompts the message "You catch an enormous bass!" instead of the usual "You catch a bass." To stuff the big bass, players must take it to the Taxidermist in Canifis. She will charge the player 1,000 coins and turn it into a stuffed bass. Once its stuffed, players can mount it in their Skill Hall at 36 Construction, using a stuffed bass and 2 oak planks, producing a mounted bass. A big bass may be cooked into a regular bass for the standard cooking experience.

UN To Honour Ghanaian Peacekeepers Five Ghanaians peacekeepers are to be honoured by the United Nations as part of activities marking this year's International Day of Peacekeepers today, May 29. Commander Seth Amoama of the Ghana Armed Forces, currently serving with the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations in New York, will receive a peacekeeping service medal, a statement signed by Lieutenant Colonel Dzotefe Mensah of the Army Public Affairs Directorate and copied to the Ghana News Agency last Saturday had stated. The statement said four other officers who died while on duty at different UN Peace Missions would be honoured posthumously. They are: Corp Christian Azumah Mensah, who died on February 8, 2005 while serving with the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) and Staff Sergeant Mark Akpor, who died on March 19, 2005, while serving with UN Operations in Cote d'Ivoire (UNOCI). The rest are; Sergeant Emmanuel Megbetor, who died on September 4, 2005 while serving with the UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) and Chief Inspector Robert Amoako of the Ghana Police Service, who died on November 21, 2005 while on duty with the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). They are among 124 peacekeepers being honoured posthumously. Their medals will be received by representatives of the respective permanent missions at the United Nations and forwarded to the next of kin. The medals would be presented by the UN Secretary-General for Peacekeeping, Jean-Marie Guehenmo. According to the statement, in December 2002, the General Assembly designated May 29 as the International Day of UN Peacekeepers, to pay tribute to all men and women who have served and continue to serve in United Nations Peacekeeping operations for their high level of professionalism, dedication and courage and to honour the memory of those who have lost their lives in the cause of peace. The date, May 29, was chosen because on that day in 1948, the first UN Peacekeeping Mission, the United Nations Truce Supervision Organisation (UNTSO) began operations with a group of unarmed military observers in Palestine. UN Peacekeeping, built on almost 60 years of experience in the field, remains an indispensable tool for the Member states to use in tackling threats to international peace and security. Currently, there are almost 90,000 personnel serving on 18 UN Peace Operations on four continents. Ghanaian soldiers and policemen and women have served in UN Peace Missions in Lebanon, Kosovo, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Haiti, Georgia, Eritrea-Ethiopia, East Timor, Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cote d'Ivoire and Western Sahara. This year, Ghana has chosen the theme; "Keeping the Peace without Arms". to focus on the role of military observers, who served unarmed despite all the risks associated with peacekeeping. To honour Ghana's peacekeepers, there would be a flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony and parade at Independence Square in Accra today.

Since marijuana is a gentle and natural form of medicine, it may be hard for some people to believe that a person could be allergic to it. But, just like we can be allergic to other plants, it is possible that one could be allergic to marijuana. We are beginning to notice that more and more people are allergic to marijuana. Perhaps this is because of the growing numbers of people using the plant to medicate for various types of health issues. Studies show that some people can experience a mild or severe allergic reaction to marijuana. It wasn't until recently, however, that cannabis was even classified as an allergen. For years, this allergy wasn't common knowledge to scientists. What is a Marijuana Allergy? The most recent information on marijuana allergies showed up in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, in 2015. In this journal, a study conducted by Dr. Thad Ocampo showed, most notably, that the luminal binding protein RuBisCo and specific parts of the ATP synthase in cannabis was responsible for marijuana allergies. Like hay fever and other allergies, exposure to certain proteins (in this case, in cannabis), can trigger abnormal immune responses in some people. The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology published a study in 2012 that identified cannabis as an allergen. In the noted case study, 17 patients received skin-prick tests that used a cannabis extract. All patients developed adverse reactions, including hives and rashes. Of the patients, 15% experienced wheezing and a runny nose. These are common symptoms with people who have cannabis allergies. In severe cases, anaphylactic shock and even death can occur. Marijuana allergies are similar to pollen allergies, and when a person is allergic to one, there is a good chance of allergy to the other. A cannabis allergy can also act like a food allergy. Dealing with these types of allergies can be difficult, but the good news is that they can be treated and eliminated through desensitization techniques, often in the form of inoculations. Hopefully, you're not allergic to cannabis since it can be an effective way to deal with pain and other symptoms associated with certain health issues. So if you are not allergic to it and are looking for a cannabis delivery company who can offer medical marijuana delivery to you in the Los Angeles area, contact Green Door West.

The H&Y Revoring Filter System Transforms to Fit Any Thread Size Jaron Schneider H&Y has announced the Revoring Filter system and new clip-on filters in what it claims is the first filter product that can attach to lenses of different thread sizes and eliminates filter adapter rings. Stop Using Step-Up or Step-Down Rings? The Revoring has a unique "self-retracting blade technology" with threaded ends that secure on the front of lenses. The company says that each threaded end has been designed to overlap and therefore any possibility of light leaking has been removed. This "self-retracting blade" is visible in the first few seconds of the demonstration video below: The rotating blades allow the Revoring to adapt to multiple filter sizes quickly and easily. It does have many moving parts, however, and how these will work over time and with the added element of dust and sand is still questionable. The claims about totally eliminating adapter rings might be technically true, but it's not a single miracle product either. H&Y offers three versions of the Revoring that cover three filter size ranges: 46-62mm, 58-77mm, and 67-82mm. Clearly, there is some overlap among them, but to cover the entire range of filter sizes, at least two will need to be purchased. ND and Polarization Filters In addition to the Revoring technology, H&Y has also launched a set of clip-on ND filters and its first circular polarizer. The ND filters come in ND4, 8, 16, and 400 in three sizes that match the three Revoring sizes. The circular polarizer uses German Schott B270 glass and includes anti-reflective coatings which the company says virtually eliminate all flare and reflections from the front and rear surfaces along with a light transmission of 97%. The company also claims that the use of accelerated inert-gas ions condense the deposited material into solid layers, making the glass dust and moisture resistant. Magnetic Clip-On Filter System H&Y made each of the Revorings and their protective caps out of aluminum, but the front of the Revoring and the rear of the caps are magnetic, making it easy to pop them on and off and keep the filter glass protected. Those same magnets are compatible with a large number of H&Y filters which easily pop on and off but are held in place securely when in use. The company says that the magnetic system was developed with the sole purpose to solve the cross-polarization problem that takes place on traditional ND filters. Cross polarization is a physical phenomenon that all variable neutral density filters have when paired with a wide-angle lens and is visible as an "X" pattern as the ring is turned. H&Y says that combining the magnetic clip-on ND together with the H&Y Revoring VND filters achieves a higher ND stop with no visible X-pattern. For instance, to use a 16mm lens with 10-stop ND, users can turn the ND level to 1.5 stop (on the Revoring VND filter) and use an extra 8.5 stop (Clip-on ND) to achieve a 10-stop long exposure effect. The H&Y Revoring is available for between $184 and $259 depending on the selected size, the new circular polarizer is available for between $129 and $139, and the variable neutral density filter is available for between $184 and $259. All of the products that are compatible with the Revoring can be seen on H&Y's website.

Dog found in trashcan along road might have been alive when dumped, authorities say Investigators say dog might have still been alive when dumped.

Authorities are trying to find out who left the dog there. (Photo: Provided) UPPER TWP. - The trashcan alongside a quiet Cape May County road stood out, and not just because of its bright yellow color. It wasn't one of the cans issued by the Upper Township municipality, and seemed out of place. When a public works employee went to investigate the can in the area of Cove and Harbor roads Thursday morning, he saw something terrible. A dead dog was inside. She had suffered a broken leg and other injuries, said Linda Gentille, owner of Shore Animal Control, which contracts with the state as a first responder in animal-cruelty cases. The public works employee called Shore Animal Control to report the discovery at 10:18 a.m., authorities said. The contents of the trashcan led investigators to an even more gruesome possibility: The dog might have been alive when she was dumped there. "The dog could have been hit by a car. There was feces and urine in the trashcan, so the dog might have still been alive when she was left there," Gentille said. The dog, which was white with tan patches, weighed about 35 to 40 pounds, and appeared to be a corgi-terrier or cattle dog mix, according to the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office, which is now handling the animal cruelty investigation. "An investigation has been initiated by detectives of the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office to determine if a crime has taken place relating to the death of the dog," stated a press release from the prosecutor's office. Neighbors' video footage might be able to help authorities, said Gentille, who added she hopes the investigation will "find some resolution for this poor dog." Meanwhile, some who saw Shore Animal Control's now-viral Facebook post about the dumped dog are trying to do their own detective work. "I just called two local hardware stores to find out if they sell this type of can," one woman said. Other Facebook commenters expressed their outrage over the incident. "There is no punishment harsh enough for who did this," said one woman. "Don't know whether to cry or explode," added another, who said she just had to put down her own dog. The case isn't a first for Shore Animal Control, Gentille said. "We see a couple cases a year of a dog dumped in the woods," Gentille said. "About a month ago, we had another deceased dog that was just thrown into the wildlife management area and left there." That was a case of ignorance, she said, because the dog's owner believed two men who told him they would bury the dog for $25. However, "putting a dog in a trashcan in a deserted road and not even covering it" takes it to another level, she said. Owners who leave their dogs in the woods or otherwise improperly dispose of them often don't want to spend the money on cremation, said Gentille. "Some municipalities do allow people to bury their dogs," she said. She urges dog owners to explore their options by calling animal control agencies like hers to find out resources might be available. Anyone who has information related to the investigation of the dog found in Upper Township is asked to call the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office at 609-465-1135. Tips can also be left anonymously through the Cape May County Sheriff's Tip Line at cmcsheriff.net, or through Cape May County Crime Stoppers at 609-465-2800.

Holy crap. I did it again. I spent another whole November writing 50,000 words and now I'm DONE! To Pandora.com: Thank you for providing me with free endless hours of moody music to be inspired by. To Purple Bunny Pencil Warmer: You just sat there the whole time and said nothing. No judgment, no harassing me to type faster, no telling me to stop filling out crossword puzzles when I was supposed to be writing. That means a lot to me, buddy. To the Java Bean in Ballard: Thanks for running one of the most cozy, most relaxed coffee shops in town. I bet you didn't know I wrote almost 10,000 words in a single Sunday afternoon while tucked into one of your tables, did you? You make a divine London Fog, by the way. To that damned meowing cat keychain my sister brought home from Iceland…. okay, you made me laugh, damnit. I admit it. I needed you, too. To Kevin, or John, I can't remember which one of you now first turned me on to NaNoWriMo: THANK YOU for pushing me to do this. To Layla and Tara, who talked me through my mid-novel moral quandary about incorporating too much "real life" into a work of fiction: Thank you for being fellow artistic souls and taking this endeavor seriously and shaping it into something real. Your insight was just the thing I needed to keep going. To Victoria, who urged me on with a mother's faith that it would all work out if only I just went to my room and typed. You will always be my favorite Cheerleader of the Suburbs. And finally, To Mr. Burdy. Thank you for being my snack-fetcher, tea-maker, movie-watchin'-in-the-other-room, writer's-block-solving man-servant, and the recipient of more "Get the hell out of here, can't you see I'm COMPOSING?" evil stares than I can count. I can't promise this thing is going to go anywhere. It may sit on my computer forever and never see the light of an editor's office. I'm just happy to have committed to something and FINISHED it. And now, dear Internets, I'm going to watch some TV and paint my nails. In one and a half hours, it's December. Hoo-freakin'-ray. Well, happy halfway mark, fellow writers. It's November 16th, which means that, sitting in computer files all around the world, half baked novels are awaiting their as-of-yet-unthought-of endings. I'm dragging my feet today because I'm under the weather. It's making me not want to write, or go to work. About the only thing I can get excited for is the new Bubble Burst game I installed on my phone. I'm trying to be okay with not filling every second of my day with writing. It's tough. I feel like I should be dedicating every spare moment of my time to this thing, but there's also other stuff to do. Stuff like surfing Craigslist on Saturday morning, making a snap decision about a piece of furniture, driving out of town to pick up friends truck to haul said piece of furniture back to house, bug downstairs neighbor (still in pajamas) to haul said piece up the stairs, turn house updside down in attempt to fit new piece of furniture in house, and then decide maybe buying piece of furniture was not the best idea I've ever had. The only part of the house untouched by chaos is Burdy's half of the office. My part of the office is a minefield of unfinished art projects and boxes full of fabric and sewing paraphernalia, which you have to walk through to get to Burdy's side, so the poor man has about four square feet all to himself. I did finish hemming all my pants that needed hemming, so at least I won't be flopping around like a moron in too-long pants this winter. So, you know. Hooray for that. It's November again, isn't it? Guess I'd better get out the arm restraints and the coffeepot. It's time to write another (terrible) novel. It's National Write Till Your Fingers Bleed Month! Internets, I have made a contract with myself. I'm going to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. That's right. It's National Novel Writing Month, and people the world over have agreed to ignore their spouses, hygiene, and housecleaning for thirty days while they sculpt 50,000 words into a quasi-meaningful plot under duress! All for the prize of being able to say, "I wrote a novel in thirty days". Isn't that thrilling? Kinda makes you want to run at full speed into a barbed wire fence. Because that would be less painful. Oh, and in case that wasn't ambitious enough, I've also agreed to post 30 times in 30 days to this blog. Know why? Because it's also National Blog Writing Month! So, now you get to enjoy the antics of CLH and me (and the Leagues of Indignant Seattlites I live amongst) EVERY DAY for thirty days. Who knows? This could really turn my commitment-phobia around. The only problem with this whole situation is that I am master dilly-dallier. Tonight, for example, I scoured my pantry for the oldest, hardest legumes I had so that my split pea soup for dinner would require hours of watching the stove (and not my computer screen). I also opted to clean out my spice drawer, catch up on the Oprah show, and paint my nails. All so I wouldn't have to come in here and write. Clever, huh? The soup has been simmering for two hours now. CLH wants to know why my vegetarian split pea soup smells so good. Is there ham in it, he asks? No, honey. The secret ingredient is procrastination.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – There "may never be a clear answer" as to why a biology professor at the University of Alabama in Huntsville allegedly shot and killed three colleagues and wounded three others, campus police said Saturday in a news conference. Amy Bishop, 42, was charged Friday night with one count of capital murder, which means she could face the death penalty if convicted, and authorities said Saturday more charges are pending. She reportedly had been involved in a tenure dispute on the campus. Police said a 9 mm gun was found in a restroom in the science building on the University of Alabama's Huntsville campus, where the shootings occurred Friday afternoon. Bishop, a Harvard-educated neurobiologist who became an assistant professor at the school in 2003, was taken Friday night in handcuffs to the county jail. As she got into a police car, she said, "It didn't happen. There's no way. ... They are still alive." Students' assessments of Bishop varied. Some recalled an attentive, friendly teacher, while others said she was an odd woman who couldn't simplify difficult subjects for students. Sammie Lee Davis, the husband of a tenured researcher who was killed, said his wife had described Bishop as "not being able to deal with reality" and "not as good as she thought she was." Davis said his wife was a tenured researcher at the university. In a brief phone interview, Davis said he was told his wife was at a meeting to discuss the tenure status of another faculty member who got angry and started shooting. University spokesman Ray Garner said that Bishop was up for tenure, but that the faculty meeting was not called to specifically discuss tenure. Davis' wife, Maria Ragland Davis, was among those killed, along with Gopi K. Podila, chairman of the biological sciences department, and another faculty member, Adriel Johnson. Andrea Bennett, a sophomore majoring in nursing and an athlete at UAH, said a coach told her team that Bishop had been denied tenure, which the coach said may have led to the shooting. "She's well-known on campus, but I wouldn't say she's a good teacher. I've heard a lot of complaints," Bennett said. "She's a genius, but she really just can't explain things." Amanda Tucker, a junior nursing major from Alabaster, Alabama, had Bishop for anatomy class about a year ago. Tucker said a group of students complained to a dean about Bishop's classroom performance. "When it came down to tests, and people asked her what was the best way to study, she'd just tell you, 'Read the book.' When the test came, there were just ridiculous questions. No one even knew what she was asking," Tucker said. However, UAH student Andrew Cole was in Bishop's anatomy class Friday morning and said she seemed perfectly normal. "She's understanding, and was concerned about students," he said. "I would have never thought it was her." The space agency has a research center on the school's campus, where many scientists and engineers from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center perform Earth and space science research and development. The university will remain closed next week, and all athletic events were canceled. The wounded were still recovering in hospitals early Saturday. Luis Cruz-Vera was in fair condition; Joseph Leahy in critical condition; and staffer Stephanie Monticello also was in critical condition. It's the second shooting in a week on an area campus. On Feb. 5, a 14-year-old student was killed in a middle school hallway in nearby Madison, allegedly by a fellow student. Mass shootings are rarely carried out by women, said Dr. Park Dietz, who is president of Threat Assessment Group Inc., a Newport Beach, California-based violence prevention firm. A notable exception was a 1985 rampage at a Springfield, Pennsylvania, mall in which three people were killed. In June 1986, Sylvia Seegrist was deemed guilty but mentally ill on three counts of murder and seven counts of attempted murder in the shooting spree. Dietz, who interviewed Seegrist after her arrest, said it was possible the suspect in Friday's shooting had a long-standing grudge against colleagues or superiors and felt complaints had not been dealt with fairly. Gregg McCrary, a retired FBI agent and private criminal profiler based in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said there is no typical outline of a mass shooter but noted they often share a sense of paranoia, depression or a feeling that they are not appreciated.

The African securities market has witnessed serious development since the early 1990s, but the central African region has not benefited from this evolution. According to an article dated the 2 of April 2015 byThis Day Live, prior to 1989, there were just eight stock markets in Africa of which three were in North Africa and five in sub-Saharan Africa. Today, there are over 22 stock exchanges in Africa. Alongside the rapid expansion of stock markets on the continent, there has also been a significant growth in market capitalization and the number of listed companies. At present, over 50 per cent of the 54 countries in the continent have formed securities exchanges. In an effort to promote regional cooperation, individual African securities exchanges created an African Securities Exchange Association (ASEA) in 1993. The ASEA was incorporated in Kenya in the same year. Recently, there have been calls by interest groups for business combination of West African stock exchanges in other to foster unity and a wider securities market to ensure speedy development of the region in line with the ASEA objectives. Why has the Central African region not followed the example of West Africa? Is it a problem of lack of adequate constitutional and legislative parameters in the region? Is it a problem of lack of political will? Is it lack of personnel and institutions? If so what can be done to change the status quo for harmony and unity in the stock exchange market in the Central African region and in Africa at large? Issues like the rule of law, property rights, protection of investor's rights are fundamental to the constitutional and legislative environment governing Africa's stock markets. According to the Doing Business Reports for 2013 and 2014, states in the Central African region like Chad and Cameroon still lag behind with respect to the above mentioned indicators, reason why this part of the continent lags behind when it comes to fostering unity and a wider securities market to ensure speedy development of the region in line with the ASEA objectives. Lack of political will remains a canker worm in the African stock market environment. Many politicians, bureaucrats and lobbyists still prefer to make African stock markets weak because of selfish economic gains, especially making sure that their businesses are financed to the detriment of other growing businesses as argued by Sam Mensah and Todd Mos in a past article on African Capital Markets. These lobbyists also influence the activities of stock markets so that they can control government shares in privitised companies. Institutions like Central Banks and government ministries of finance called upon to coordinate affairs of the stock exchange markets in Africa remain wanting. These institutions still find difficulties in understanding and participating in the activities of Africa's stock markets. Cultural factors also contribute enormously to the Central African regions slow progress in the stock exchange sector. A lot of preference is still given to hand to mouth consumption. Consumers and investors remain reticent to invest in stock markets because of the risks involved. Another factor which contributes to the poor stock exchange market environment especially in the Central African region include ignorance on how the system functions and non-familiarization with the financial markets culture. There is thus need for a change of events. Giving constitutional and legislative importance to property rights in the Central African region would make owners of property to be confident enough to engage in activities of stock markets especially in obtaining financing for their property. Additionally if investor's rights are protected constitutionally and with sound legislative instruments, this will equally make them trust stock markets and eventually contribute to fostering unity and harmony in stock markets in the Central African region and in Africa. Bureaucrats, politicians and lobbyists would definitely not stop influencing the activities of stock markets if there is no external push. It is this important for think tanks, journalists, university dons to continue to put pressure on them to allow the stock exchange sector function free from political influence and pressure. Revamping Institutions like Ministries of Finance and Central banks called upon to coordinate affairs of the stock exchange markets in Africa is very important. Personnel working with financial Institutions in the Central African region need to be schooled about the activities of stock markets especially in Africa. Respecting Africa's cultural values is germane, but if such cultural practices impede on the development of the continent then we cannot continue to talk of Africa's renaissance. States like Gabon and Equatorial Guinea most understand that collaboration with other states like Cameroon and Chad is necessary for unity and growth in the stock exchange sector regardless of whatever cultural differences. Asanji Burnley is a diplomat by training from the International Relations Institute of Cameroon (IRIC). He is President and co-founder of the Cameroon based Central African Centre for Libertarian Thought and Action (CACLiTA), a partner of the Atlas Network. Great addition Mama Ninisco! Strenthening security and intelligence is definitely important. Gracias.

We were invited to Aldo Valentine's preview. I have always been in love with Aldo's stylish shoes. In fact two of my favourite pairs were from there. This year, Aldo introduces the Love to Love collection for the upcoming Valentine's day, featuring the red lips on high heels, perfect for the special occasion. If this design is too daring for you, There are other colours to pick from, but seriously, aren't they gorgeous. As we browsed the shoes at this special VIP event, every now and then, some food and prosecco circulate around. Shoes always go with bags. These two designs, with the strong colour and the delicate emboidery, caught my eyes. That hint of oriental flare was calling me to them. If high heels are not your thing, these flats are chic and stylish, perfect for day-to-day wear, offering that casual yet professional look. We enjoyed the evening very much and were given a goody bag at the end. For a moment, we thought it was a pair of shoes. In fact, it was a can of REAL maple syrup (real ones come in a can), some lip shape sweets, cleansing wipes and a gift card. We can make use of the box as well. It seems like Cotton has already taken over the box as her new toy. I have always said, this girl loves fashion as much as I do. Here she is, too eager to see what's in the box. These red lips certainly suit her very much. And here is a message for my darling bunny. You know the drill, we go to events, then we eat. Such an irony that after a Valentine's preview, I have gone to Five Guys, although not the conventional type of 'guys'. Perhaps, in my little fantasy, I have wished to date five guys. Actually, probably not, can you imagine the troubles there would be dating them! I'd rather just eat, where I can be sure that I will end up being happy without any emotional baggage. Here is my complaint: the burger is simply too big. Although I asked for a 'little burger', I was still so full from it. Perhaps, Five Guys should introduce miniature burgers for people like me. On the bright side, there are 15 free toppings you can choose from: pickles, sauces, onion, mayo, pepper, mushroom… Their hot chili sauce is not so hot, so go and knock yourself out. Bottomless soft drink, just at the press of a button away. Here is my food. Again, I asked for a small portion of chips, yet the portion is huge… Apparently their philosophy is when the cup is full, add another scoop. The chips were hand cut and cooked in peanut oil. Being very honest here, I enjoyed the chips more than the burger. Here is another thing, there is no way you can eat elegantly at five guys. I ended up with the sauce dripping everywhere. Get tissue on standby when you dine there. Thus concludes the evening of Valentine's preview and food at Five Guys. The shoes are gorgeous, so get your guys (whether 5 of them or not) to treat you for those. If not, treat yourself this Valentine's. Who needs guys anyway, when you can have shoes and good food? That looks like a soggy burger….

The America Invents Act 500: Effects of Patent Monetization Entities on US Litigation November 30, 2012 dukelawtechreview Patents & Technology Leave a comment By: Sara Jeruss, Robin Feldman, & Joshua Walker Any discussion of flaws in the United States patent system inevitably turns to the system's modern villain: non-practicing entities, known more colorfully as patent trolls. For many years, however, discussions about non-practicing entities have been long on speculation and short on data. In 2011 Congress directed the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office to study the effects of non-practicing entities on patent litigation. At the request of the GAO, we collected and coded a set of patent lawsuits filed over the past five years. This article presents our analysis of the data and its implications. The data confirm in a dramatic fashion what many scholars and commentators have suspected: patent monetization entities play a role in a substantial portion of the lawsuits filed today. Based on our sample, lawsuits filed by patent monetizers have increased from 22% of the cases filed five years ago to almost 40% of the cases filed in the most recent year. In addition, of the five parties in the sample who filed the greatest number of lawsuits during the period studied, four were monetizers and only one was an operating company.

By Sia in Mobile. Updated on November 23, 2017 . Browsing the internet privately is made easy these days as many internet browsers come with their own version of "Incognito" mode. However, enabling this private browsing session requires one to dig through the browser's settings. In an attempt to provide a private browsing appearance right from the get go, Mozilla has brought its Firefox Focus browser online. Currently available only on iOS devices, Firefox Focus is a browser that is built around privacy. From the moment you boot up the browser on your device, Firefox Focus is set to block ads, analytics and social trackers by default. All of these settings can be toggled on and off via a slider found in the menus. If that isn't enough for you, you can set Firefox Focus to block additional content trackers and even disable a website's custom web fonts, so you get to browse the website faster. The trade off for doing so is that you might risk breaking site compatibility. To take the whole privacy shtick a step further, Firefox Focus comes with an "Erase" button located at the upper right hand corner of the browser. Tap it and Firefox Focus will immediately erase your current browsing history, leaving other people none the wiser about your browsing habits. While Firefox Focus' dedication to privacy is admirable, the browser itself is rather rough around the edges. Features that are standard on other browsers such as multiple tab browsing isn't available on the current build of Firefox Focus. Despite the general "early-build" feel that the browser has, Firefox Focus is an interesting browser to have when privacy is of utmost importance. While the browser itself won't be competing against the likes of Safari or Chrome just yet, if Mozilla decides to properly support Firefox Focus, the browser may prove to be a worthwhile addition to your iOS device in the long run.

Abstract. Poincaré wrote in 1899: "For half a century we have seen a mass of bizarre functions which appear to be forced to resemble as little as possible honest functions which serve some purpose. Formerly, when a new function was invented, it was in view of some practical end. Today they are invented on purpose to show that our ancestor's reasoning was at fault, and we shall never get anything more than that out of them. If logic were the teacher's only guide, he would have to begin with the most general, that is to say, the most weird functions." How did the notion of functions evolved? And in particular, what is its effect on the teaching of calculus?

The Child Care Health Project at the SF Department of Public Health teamed up with the UCSF School of Dentistry and UCSF School of Nursing April 25th and May 2nd to screen 120 children at Parkside's Pre-School and Kindergarten in San Francisco, CA. This school attracts a high Asian, mostly Cantonese and Mandarin speaking, population. The Asian population in San Francisco has consistently shown to have an increased rate of early childhood caries. With the generous donation of dental supplies provided by Henry Schein, we were able to screen our target population of children most in need. We found a high rate of decay, with one third of the children screened having cavities and requiring follow-up care with a dentist. Additionally, with the donated dental supplies, including masks and gloves, we were able to apply fluoride varnish to 83% of the children, a vital component in reversing early caries and preventing future decay. With Henry Schein's donations of bags, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss, we made goody bags for each child to take home. Not only do goody bags enhance the children's dental screening experience, but they are filled with the necessary tools for parents to immediately begin improving their child's oral health at home. Caries are completely preventable and no child should ever have to experience this pain and suffering. Thank you Henry Schein for helping us get one step closer to eliminating early childhood caries in our San Francisco child care centers! Picking out her Henry Schein mouth mirror! A little boy checks out the fluoride varnish.
