At one time these gastronomics were so heaped up that they reached the level of the staircase where the cellarer stood.


Seeing this rotund monk with his shining face, his vast abdomen, standing on this pedestal of comestibles which he watched with the eye of a gormand, one would have called him the genius of good cheer.


According to the quantity or quality of his tribute, each tenant, after having received a word of blame or praise from the cellarer, withdrew with a slight genuflection. The Reverend Father even deigned at times to withdraw from his long sleeves his fat, red hand, to give it to the most favored to kiss.


There was brought to the cellarer a savory caudle in a silver bowl borne on a tray of the same metal. The Reverend Father swallowed this consommé, a perfect specific against the morning cold and fog. At this moment the lay brother complained of having in vain twice called James, the tenant of the farm of Blaville, who owed ten hens, three sacks of wheat and one hundred crowns for the rent of his farm.


Ah, well! said the cellarer, where then is James? He is ordinarily exact. For fifteen years that he has held the farm of Blaville, he has never failed in his rent.


From out the crowd of farmers came two children, a young boy and a young girl from thirteen to fourteen years of age; trembling with confusion, they advanced to the foot of the staircaseredoubtable tribunal!holding each other by the hand, their eyes downcast and full of tears.


The little girl fingered the corner of the apron of coarse cloth covering her petticoat of whitish cloth rayed with wide black stripes; the young boy convulsively grasped his cap of brown wool. They stopped at the foot of the staircase.


Very well! and the ten hens, and the three sacks of wheat, and the one hundred crowns from your father? said the reverend man severely.


The two poor children pressed against each other, nudging one another with the elbow, as an encouragement to answer.


Finally the young boy, having more resolution, raised his noble, handsome face, which his coarse garments rendered still more remarkable, and sadly said to the monk: Our father has been very ill for two months; our mother is taking care of himthere is no money in the house; we have been obliged to take the wheat and the rent to support the day laborer and his wife who takes my father's place in the farm work, and then it has been necessary to sell the hens to pay the doctor.


It is always the same story when tenants fail in their rents, said the monk roughly. James was a good and punctual farmer; this is how he spoils all, just like the others; but in the interests of the abbey as well as in his own, we will not let him wander into the bad way. Then, addressing himself to the children, he added severely: The father-treasurer will consider thiswait there.


The two children withdrew into an obscure corner of the shed. The young girl seated herself, weeping, on a bench; her brother stood near her, looking at his sister with gloomy sadness.


The roll-call finished, the monks re-entered the abbey, the peasants regained the horses and carts which had brought them, the two children remained alone in the court, waiting with sad disquietude the decision of the treasurer with regard to their father.


A new personage appeared at the gate of the little court. This was a tall old man with large, white mustache and neglected beard; he walked with difficulty with the help of a wooden leg, and wore a uniform-coat of green with an orange-colored collar; a wallet of leather slung on his back carried his modest baggage; he supported himself on a thick cane made from the dogwood tree, and on his head was a big Hungarian cap of black worn fur, which descending to his eyebrows, gave him the most savage air in the world; his hair, as white as his mustache, tied with a leathern string, formed a long queue which fell to his shoulders; his skin was tanned, his eyes were bright and lively, though age had bowed his tall stature.


This old man entered the court without seeing the children; he looked about him like a man seeking to find his way; perceiving the two little peasants, he went straight to them.


The young girl, startled by this strange figure, or rather, by this enormous cap of bristling fur, gave a cry of affright; her brother took her hand to reassure her, and although the poor child wished to withdraw it, he advanced resolutely toward the old man.


The latter stopped, struck with the beauty of these two children, and especially the delicate features of the young girl, whose face of perfect regularity was crowned with two bands of blond hair half concealed under a poor little child's cap of a brown color; she wore, like her brother, rude wooden shoes and wool stockings.


You are afraid of me then! Zounds! you will not tell me, then, where the Abbey of St. Quentin is? said the old soldier.


Although he was far from wishing to intimidate the children, the tone of his voice frightened the young girl still more, who, pressing closely to her brother, said to him in a low tone: Answer him, James, answer him; see what a wicked air he has.


Have no fear, Angela, have no fear, answered the boy. Then he said to the soldier: Yes, sir, this is the Abbey of St. Quentin; but if you wish to enter the porter's lodge is on the other side, outside of this court.


When the young girl called her brother James the old man made a movement of surprise; but when James, in his turn, called his sister Angela the old man started, let his stick fall, and was obliged to support himself against the wall, so violent was his agitation.


Come, said the soldier, whom the reader has doubtless already recognized, I am an old foolbutthe union of these two namesJames�

Does a bank need to die and reincarnate itself to survive digital revolution? Chris Skinner says the difficulty with launching a new bank is commitment to let it grow without interfering and giving it time, without cutting costs halfway through as the returns are not showing. Another question is how existing margin and profit can be maintained at the old bank.


The biggest banks made a huge leap forward in boosting digital sales capabilities last year, according to a recent report. But W.UP’s experts warn that the overall picture is not so rosy.


It may come as a surprise to many that nearly half of financial institutions don’t have a digital strategy. How do they need to start building one?


Is there a simple litmus test to check if a financial institution is really a digital one? Perhaps the way it speaks about digital banking could help answer that question. How can you tell if a bank is only aspiring to become a digital bank and is not yet one?


Banks should understand their customers’ needs to build an outstanding mobile banking app. Not to mention selecting the best method for authentication. Here are some tips and suggestions from The Financial Brand to make a mobile banking offering blow away the competition.<|endoftext|>4C12.03 is on the borderline between relaxed doubles and classical doubles. There are low-contrast "warmspots" at the end of each lobe, but in the south the the lobe centre is about four times brighter than the warmspot (presumably there is a longer pathlength, so the emissivity in the two regions is similar).


The host galaxy is at the centre of the structure, (marked by a tiny red dot in the picture). A slight peak in the brightness at this position is probably the core (not clearly visible here). Straddling the core to north and south are elongated structures, unresolved in width, that are probably segments of jets. It would be useful to check this interpretation with a higher-resolution image.


The most remarkable feature is the pair of faint secondary lobes or wings at an angle of about 60° to the main axis. Another example of this kind of structure is 3C 315, the prototype winged DRAGN.

Through the construction process several agreements were made for changes to the original agreement, but were not officially documented. The amendment to the IGA updates the final work and documents the District’s compliance with the park construction. Council agreed with the amendment and asked that it be sent to School Superintendent Aaron Miller for approval. The School District and City are attempting to close out the project and have final funds (approximately $500,000) for the construction released from escrow.


Inactive Account Adjustment- Council approved a request from staff to waive fees that were inadvertently charged to a water/sewer account during the process of changing how Inactive Accounts are handled by the City.


Council Tables WWTP Timeline Decision- Council tabled a discussion and made no decision on a timeline they were presented for the Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade project. Councilor Bruce McNair raised questions about the bidding process and the costs associated with the proposed extended construction schedule and asked that more information be provided at the next Council meeting. Council agreed to table the discussion.


Culture in the media slowly loses its place, wether it


1256902  in the meantime, bugger it. It's Character.


Forget your underfloor heating, dpcs and insulation, this is what you want under your quarry tiles...


The replacement tiles were from the hearth in Bedroom 1, which was causing the ceiling below to sag,


so we reused them here. The black glazing on the sides was later removed during the restoration and the colour


Searching tinterwebz for how to restore a quarry tile floor mainly results in links to professional firms who will either come over to do it themselves in return for a lorra, lorra money or sell you the stuff to make a half-baked job of it yourself.


The photos and videos of the pros doing it look amazing, but that's the idea. You wouldn't want to hire a team of sweaty salad-dodgers to paw ineffectually at the floor and leave it looking like nothing had happened, would you? But it's all marketing and I wanted to tackle the job myself, so my only option was to buy tins of 'product' and have a stab at it.


The very first, and arguably most important part of bringing the Living Room floor back from the dead over a year ago was to remove the carpet and underlay to start it releasing its moisture again, and that was followed by olivine blasting (top picture) to get rid of the glue and rock-solid filth left on the faces of the tiles.


After this it was left as it was for some months due to the rest of the work that needed to be done in there but for the most part (discounting tarps being laid now and then) it was allowed to breathe properly and dry out.


Once the main dirty work was finished in the room we stripped everything out and I gave the floor a thorough powerful vacuuming, crawling around on my hands and knees to trace every joint and crack with the nozzle.


This was followed by two lots of damn good mopping with, again, me on my hands and knees to vacuum up the excess water from the faces and in the joints so it would dry as fast as possible. Anyone looking through the window would think I was playing submissive at a 'Chore'-themed BDSM party.


Dawn had already done a bit of research last year and bought a bottle of Lithofin Tile Restorer for Ceramic Tiles which was supposed to bring out the ingrained dirt and give the surface a thorough, thorough clean.


Except it didn't, really. I'm not criticising it because I don't have enough experience doing this, but even after working the cleaner in tile-by-tile with a scrubbing brush - really agitating it - and drying the faces with a hairdryer after a rinse, they didn't look any different. The only noticeable difference was the black glazing on the tiles that were laid along the edge of the Pantry. It lifted that off really well.


My two trains of thought were that either the cleaner wasn't doing its job or the floor was already nice and clean because of the attention it had already been given. I'm erring towards the latter.


So not wanting to waste the bottle I tipped it in the mop bucket and threw in a couple of litres of brick acid, hoping that a chemical reaction wouldn't make it explode in my face, which fortunately it didn't.


That was mopped liberally on the floor in the hope of obliterating any proper ingrained muck (destroying the mop head) and it was washed off with clean water a couple of times, followed by me on my knees again.


I had been doing some research myself in to what to do next, if anything, and I discovered Tile Doctor Colour Grow which promised to deepen the colour of what, essentially, were unremarkable matt pinkish tiles, while protecting them from spills but still allowing them to breathe. And that was everything I wanted in one £40 container.


The instructions suggested up to five coats on quarry tiles with no damp-proof course (dpc) beneath, and we applied the first coat easily in just half an hour with a couple of new, clean paint pads... which is when the container ran out.


Unfortunately with 95% of the tiles having no glaze they were very porous which meant they pretty much guzzled up the Colour Grow, but to be fair the transformation was incredible by morning. The red was deeper and the particularly-pale tiles, which contrasted starkly with those surrounding them, had blended quite well so I ordered another bottle and hoped that two coats would be enough.


Again the floor remained this way for a couple of weeks during more work and when everything was shifted back out and more rounds of mopping/vacuuming had taken place (using Tile Doctor Neutral Tile Cleaner) we gave the floor another two coats of Colour Grow from the new tin, because the first coat had made the tiles less porous.


The finished floor. Sorry to use this picture yet again but I forgot to take a specific 'restored' one.


Again, the results were great with the red deepening a bit more but our mistake of forgetting to dab up any excess liquid while were going meant that in the morning the few patches of tiles which had a hint of glazing were still tacky to the touch even through they weren't wet, as such.


I tried to remove the stickiness with everything from water to - you guessed it - brick acid but because the surface was also more resistant to liquid now nothing would touch it and I eventually gave up the ghost.


So we left it and hoped for the best but now after 36 hours it seems to be improving, meaning we won't have sticky footprints all over the rug, which looks better without that kind of thing, frankly.


And speaking of footprints we're trying to get in the habit of leaving our boots at the door now but that's already showing signs of falling by the wayside...<|endoftext|>Jake Winkle shows you how to paint moving figures in watercolour to add scale, depth and movement to your watercolours


A painting may be about figures, or it may be about a place populated with figures. To capture figures in movement, we artists have to detach ourselves from the knowledge of what we are painting and concentrate instead on the shapes that we are making.


When I look around I see a lot of abstract shape and colour rather than detail, unless I consciously focus on a specific area, in which case I notice that the area in clear focus is actually very small. So, most of the time I am aware of objects that I don’t see clearly, unless I focus on them in the small area in the centre of my field of vision. Focusing in this way is useful when it comes to capturing the essence or gesture of the figure.


With Podcast Movement just completed, what drove a much larger presence by radio producers and as podcasters, why should we care if radio takes up podcasting?


This episode of Podcasters’ Roundtable isn’t the first to talk about podcast sponsorships, and I’m certain it won’t be the last. However, there was a very big contradiction that basically proves my point that podcast sponsorships are rarely a good thing for podcasts.


Early in the episode there was a discussion about how better metrics will bring in more advertisers to the space. That can’t be bad. And it was discussed that better reporting and measurement of playback statistics could help someone demand a higher CPM. That’s good too.


But later in the episode – especially when talking about radio getting into podcasting – it was said a number of times that people hate ads. Even one roundtables said, “and now the radio was intolerable to me” – Tyler Stalman.


It was interesting that Rob Greenlee commented about how radio might reduce the number of ads they normally play on radio, 16 per hour, to something like 4 per program in a podcast. **Sure. I’d love to hear a bunch of ads in my podcast.


I don’t believe Tyler was expressing his dislike for produced ads vs host-read ads. On the contrary, it sounded like he was complaining about “wasting time listening to the same ad” and highlighting the same feeling he has that most podcast listeners have – a distaste for most ads.


We, the podcast industry, focus way too much of our time on podcast sponsorships when the majority of listeners hate ads. Yes, there are shows that do a fantastic job with their sponsors, and it certainly helps when a show finds a sponsor that fits the same niche/genre as the show.


To be fair: There are some podcasts that do fantastic host-read ads that work. In every case, I’ve seen the ads become content for the show, or a facsimile


But I’ve seen way too many people launch podcasts with the hopes of making money through ads because that’s the model that we are familiar with (radio, tv, newspapers) and the echo-chamber keeps talking about it.


Sponsorships aren’t the answer for the majority of podcasts. Services like Cast.Plus and many others only work for shows with 5k downloads per episode. Shows with fewer numbers have to work long and hard to find sponsors that fit their niche – or end up getting pennies for selling their audience to disassociated products. Selling AdvoCare on a real estate podcast probably won’t be effective.


I’m sorry to say that I don’t have the answer, other than to say there are other ways to monetize a podcast that would probably work better: Selling your own products (book, courses, coaching), offering bonus content for monetary support from listeners, or having affiliate relationships with products and services that fit your niche. Yes, that last one sounds a

After repairing my computer by deleting Malware or Trojan with BleepingComputer (www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic389668.html), during the following days I noticed that ONLY at our favorite site (www.cyberpresse.ca) certain parts move as if in a tremor. The main page which contains the titles of all the articles, is ok. But when I click on a detailed article that's when the tremors start. The detailed article contains several boxes for related articles and those boxes move up and down with certain lines of the article that are situated near the bottom of the boxes. This doesn't happen with other sites. I checked the same site with our neighbor computer.The fault is in my computer. Can u help me ? Thank you !


I found the answer to my problem. When I click on a detailed article, there is an icon, mostly on top of a box, "F recommended" (F recommender) that causes the tremor. It seems that it is a Facebook problem that they are trying to resolve. I switched off "Compatibility view" in TOOLS of Internet Explorer. Now it moves only once when the icon "F recommended" comes on. Another solution, is to switch from Internet Explorer 8 to Internet Explorer 9.

Resetting the security level, deleting files and cookies, and ensuring 128-bit security have all failed. Anyone that has an idea, please post, my PC is pretty much useless to me otherwise. Thanks.


Well I will try to be descriptive as possible in the issues and how they came to be. Additionally, I have followed all steps in the "pre-post" with the exception of Updating Windows. The reason being, I cannot go to windows update through mozilla and if I open internet explorer ... my computer will be bombarded.

I should note here that I was told that there was a virus running in the memory (that warning is no longer occurring with the anti-virus/spyware/etc.


It's possible there's spyware on it that is affecting why I cannot log into hotmail, or even when I try to access the home page, I get the message Cannot connect to this site, or DNS error.

You may want to try checking and making sure your privacy and security settings aren't set too high. To do this, go to tools>internet options>privacy tab then make sure it isn't set any higher than medium, in fact you might want to drag the slider all the way down just to test it, then over to security and do the same thing. Then click on restricted sites, then the sites button and make sure it's not in the list. After you've done this, check to see if it works. If it still doesn't I'd recommend going back to the general tab and click delete under browsing history, then delete files, delete cookies, and delete history. After that, get back to internet options and click on the content tab, then click clear ssl state and restart internet explorer afterwards. If this doesn't work, post back again with exactly what version of internet explorer you're using and word for word what the error says.

First up is the book haul, for February so far I have bought a total of eight books and one bookish candle!


First up, over on Twitter I traded for a Caraval candle, Resist by Sarah Crossan which is the sequel to Breathe and Nightshade by Andrea Cremer and I also bought a Caraval Fairyloot signed edition off of her which came with the Fairyloot letter!


Next through another trade over on Twitter, I got The Taking by Kimberly Derting! I loved The Pledge and have been meaning to get this book for a while!


I went to The Works the other week and couldn’t resist buying the BEAUTIFUL US editions of Magnus Chase: The Sword of Summer and The House of Hades, both by Rick Riordan, they were £3 each, £6 in total which was a right bargain!


I took a chance on Amazon used section when I saw City of Fallen Angels in hardback for less than a fiver, I didn’t have high hopes for it to actually be a hardcover, but alas it was, in perfect condition too!


Lastly, I bought Marie Lu’s Batman: Nightwalker from Book Depository in hardcover because it’s absolutely gorgeous, I’ve ordered Wonder Woman from Amazon which surprisingly they still had! I can’t wait for that to come so that they look beautiful on a shelf together.


Next up books read! I’ve managed a total of five books this month and two of which were review books.


Furyborn by Claire Legrand – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – this was such an interesting book, I loved the two different times in which the book is set in.


The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – I buddy read this with Suzanne, @bookmarvel over on instagram, I loved the fairytale aspect of this, it was so good, I’m definitely going to get the hardcover for it eventually!

He said that was no longer necessary, since LTC went into effect. And that you only are required to show your LTC if they specifically ask for this.


Don't know if this has been repealed or not. I always show law enforcement my handgun license if they ask "for identification."


I think it was two Legislatures ago, maybe three, that the Leg removed the penalty for failing to display a CHL when you are carrying and a Texas peace officer asks for identification. The requirement to display was left in the code, but the legal penalty for not doing so was removed in a special session.


Sec. 411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE. If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder's person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder's driver's license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder's handgun license.


As far as I know, there is no legal requirement to obtain either a DL or an "identification certificate" so it could be entirely impossible for one to comply with this law as written.


Can you even get a LTC if you don’t have either a TDL or a state-issued ID card? I genuinely don’t know the answer to that, but if I had to guess, I’d guess that you could not get a LTC without having some other kind of state issued ID. That begs the question.... if you’re applying for a non-resident LTC, do you have to have photo ID issued by your state of residence?


DPS requires a copy of resident state DL or ID for nonresident applicants. I'm not sure what they would do if somebody sent a copy of their passport instead.


There is probably a lot of misunderstanding, regarding, showing your LTC, while carrying, when interacting with LEO. My understanding, ( and Charles, please weigh in if I am mistaken) when you are stopped/ detained, for any violation, i.e., a traffic stop, you are required, to show your LTC, but, if it is a situation, described by the OP, it is not required, unless, asked for, by the LEO, in all of my traffic stops, since obtaining, my LTC, I have produced, it, along with my DL. In all cases, it was handed back, with not much more than a cusory, glance. I have absolutely no problem, showing any LEO, my LTC, and whether or not, it is required, is not an issue, for me.


All of my interactions, with LEO, have been positive, but, I have never been asked to produce my LTC, even when OC, by any LEO. JMHO

In order to maintain the success, it is important for the entrepreneurs to keep meeting new people. They have to make time for networking. They can organize an event and invite all the potential customers. It is important that you follow up the clients to show that you care about their presence. Business owners can arrange dinner or lunch meetings with their partners.


The worst mistake that you can make is neglecting the phone system. Your customer’s experience when they call your company will have a significant influence on whether they continue to do business with you.


Most business owners have the misconception that they will only have to hire an attorney when their business is in crisis. However, the best course of action is to continually seek legal advice throughout the life of your business. This is to assure that your business doesn’t get into crisis.


There are millions of ways an attorney can make your life easier. They can ensure that you are running your business in a way that complies with state and federal laws. This is important because you don’t want to be subject to punitive fees for unknowingly breaking a law.


If you’re like many other business owners and you feel the need to doing everything yourself, stop. Now. Not only will you burn yourself out, you will not be as effective as you would like. This is why you must learn to delegate effectively.


It is important that you surround yourself with the right people. Make sure that you build a team of talented individuals that will make up for the areas in which you are weak. Even if you have a small business you cannot succeed without a proper team.


You have to learn to be an effective leader. In order to prevent turnover, it is essential that you stay connected with your team. Show them that you really care about their talent and they are important to your business.

1256907 , making encounters with them rare. Unlike the forests in Ifrane where the monkeys have become accustomed to visitors, the macaques of this region will flee when approached. Yet their isolation from human settlement in the dense interior of the Rif’s coarse mountain terrain has not prevented the number of macaques from declining.


A thick forest area where BMAC has yet to thoroughly survey, but where they suspect macaques are living (MEE/Matthew Greene)


Barbary macaques are considered endangered according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In 1975, the population of macaques in Morocco was about 17,000, but by 2004 the figure has dropped to below 10,000. Today the number has fallen to as low as 5,000, although exact figures do not exist. And current trends project the macaque population to continue decreasing from threats such as deforestation and poaching.


The international ban on the trade of Barbary macaques was uplisted this past summer, strengthening existing legislation seeking to put an end to the market for the species, who remain favourites among exotic pet collectors.


“We’ve seen Barbary macaques being kept as pets in Egypt, and as far away as Dubai,” says Waters, adding that much of the trade is carried out through online animal bazaars and even on Facebook and Instagram pages. Most are captured during infancy and sell on average between 100-200 euros.


Over the last several years, Morocco’s High Commission for Water and Forests has strengthened Morocco’s domestic legislation on macaque conservation. It has granted macaques a protection status that prohibits “the capture, hunting, possession, sale and hawking” of the animal. Plans of action also consider how to improve local ecosystems, raise public awareness and implement restoration programmes.


But in Morocco, where macaques are fixtures at public squares frequented by tourists like Marrakech’s Jmaa El Fna, authorities are not always consistent at enforcing these regulations. They view macaques as part of Morocco’s cultural history, and are therefore less likely to crack down on opportunistic individuals who tour the macaques around city centres for photo opportunities and other forms of entertainment.


A man watches over his two macaques while he awaits visitors to stop for photographs (Moroccan Primate Conservation)


One entertainer from Meknes told Middle East Eye that authorities have yet to confiscate his macaques despite being in violation of the law, which includes a 1000 MAD penalty ($99). Though he added it would be rather easy to find replacements if they were taken off him.


“It is easy to buy these monkeys around here if you know the right people. You can even do it yourself if you know what you are doing and are careful.”


Waters and her colleagues have backtracked their stance on confiscation of photo prop macaques for this reason, worrying that they were contributing to the market for macaques.


“We started to become more concerned that by taking away macaques we were creating a greater demand for them to be captured or sold.”


'We started to become more concerned that by taking away macaques we were creating a greater demand for them to be captured or sold'


She adds that it is a common misconception among people that by purchasing macaques from shopkeepers or entertainers they are doing the animals a favour.


“People see the living conditions of macaques held in captivity and think that by taking them away that they are helping or rescuing them when they actually may be making the problem worse because they increase the demand.”


Many who hold macaques will look to sell them before they mature to full size and become unmanageable. The macaques who do not find sympathetic buyers are then typically returned to the forest.


With few exceptions, dumped macaques do not acclimatise to life back in the wilderness after spending time in captivity. Those who release them back into the wild are relegating them to an inevitable death that can be slow and cruel. In some cases, former captive macaques will even become aggressive and hostile, leading to skirmishes with their peers and people.


Persuading residents in these mountain villages of the pressing need to end macaque poaching and trafficking was a challenge at first. The BMAC has had to be careful to avoid a common mistake made by wildlife protection groups that appear to value endangered wildlife species over the people in local communities.


“We cannot approach people and tell them that they should do this or that. It isn’t effective, and it also comes off sounding a bit colonialist,” Waters remarks.


'We cannot approach people and tell them that they should do this or that. It isn’t effective, and it also comes off sounding a bit colonialist'


What has worked is a patient approach of building relationships with rural residents through public outreach programmes that address the needs of rural communities.


The group now arranges health clinics by bringing a health outreach team out to villages where healthcare services are non-existent. They have also run programmes to vaccinate stray dogs to protect people and domestic animals against rabies, as well as a series of workshops to build villagers’ capacity to improve their lives themselves.


Today, villages who share the forests with macaques play a pivotal role in helping BMAC realise its conservation goals. They employ a handful of local shepherds who monitor areas throughout the park while herding their goats and sheep.


In addition to the intimate knowledge that shepherds have of the surrounding area, they are trained to count macaques they come across according to age and sex, and track their location using a GPS system. The data they collect gives the small team of the BMAC the tip-offs they need to focus their surveying of the region to specific zones of the forest, which is too large for the small team to scan alone.


On the day Middle East Eye visited, the team travelled to the small village of Slalem in hopes of recruiting a new shepherd for an area of a mountain where they know macaques are living. It is a site the team has surveyed infrequently, where crowded trees and steep hillsides make the area almost impenetrable unless explored on foot. Shepherds know these areas intimately, and the more that shepherds are employed, more ground can be covered, and more macaque groups can be monitored.


In return for the knowledge and support provided by shepherds, BMAC pays a salary to supplement their annual incomes.


“It gives them and their families a steady supplemental income, which can make a lot of difference in these poorer marginal villages,” says Waters.


The group is optimistic that its rural outreach programmes will continue developing positive relationships with village communities. Much has changed from a decade ago when attempts to strike up discussions about the macaques would yield responses of jokes and banter.


“I was sometimes laughed at because I took an interest in the monkeys,” recalls Ahmed Chetwan, a former shepherd who is now a project assistant with BMAC.


“But things are improving little by little. People in this area have an important relationship to nature and the environment, and when they start to see that wildlife is in danger, they start to understand that other changes are happening around them.”


Meanwhile, in nearby Tetouan, where the day-to-day connection to nature among city dwellers is more distant, the team has learned that simply making information about macaques available to the public is the best means to raise awareness.


“A villager would probably never take in a macaque as a pet, but they do in cities. They are both ignorant of the harm that captivity causes to macaques, as well as what captivity really entails. They agree to take in a macaque as a pet thinking it will stick around for just four or five years, unaware that they can live up to 20 years,” says Waters.


To combat these misconceptions about macaques prevalent in cities, BMAC organises local soccer tournaments, public exhibitions, and visits to schools across the country for the purpose of raising awareness and supplying general information. The campaigns have been surprisingly successful, surpassing the expectations of the group, explains Waters, as they initially assumed the public would find the information uninteresting.


“There is a genuine interest wherever we go. People not only in Tetouan, but from all around Morocco sometimes are not even aware that macaques are unique to the country, so some Moroccans will begin to take more pride in the creatures after our events.”


The group believes that mobilising public awareness in both urban and rural areas is essential to realising their conservation initiatives in a sustainable manner. It has taken nearly a decade of patience and dedication, but the group has witnessed a significant swing in public opinion, says Waters.


“We do genuinely think that all of our hard work has made a difference. We have achieved many of the goals we set for ourselves, even if it has required several years to do.”


They now hope to see their efforts begin to reverse the decline that macaques have faced over the last few decades for a brighter long-term future.

1256908 .com/dillmagazine showing off their first edition and selling subscriptions. They are a quarterly, $20 an issue. (With the recent shutdown of Lucky Peach, I wonder if this one will survive.)


I ordered the first issue. There's some good stuff in there (including 5 regional variations on pad thai), but I'm not sure it's worth $20/issue. Definitely doesn't have the hip cache of Lucky Peach, very basic layout work, but some solid food journalism. An article by Mike Sula (I forget the subject), another translated by and recipes interpreted by Leela "shesimmers" Punyaratabandhu. The first issue focuses on noodles, from ramen packets to laksa and everything in between.


For its first time, I was pretty impressed. There were quite a number of food offerings. My lone complaint here is that some of the restaurants dumbed down their menu (crab rangoon!). Overall, Rainbow had the most unique menu in my opinion, offering their sausage, catfish curry custard and fish cakes. I actually loved that fried chicken larb excelsior mentioned - had some nice heat, loved the crispy skin and it was pretty unique.


Lines tended to be a bit long and some places just weren't prepared for that, so you needed to exercise some patience. But overall, a large crowd though not to the point where someone who tends to be really crowd-averse (like me) would feel very pained.


I'm guessing all of the restaurants learned a thing or two and will be even better prepared next year. But generally, a big success in my book.


re Dill Magazine, it does not appear they have kept to their "quarterly" schedule of issues. Their Facebook page references their second issue "in the works" as of December 2017, but no listing/version of it on their website. It then references the upcoming issue "out in March" which I assume is still issue #2 since that seems to be a short turnaround time for the third issue.


Dill Magazine is mentioned in this article, although it seems they have released only two issues so far:


It appears this might have been rebranded as the Thai New Year Water Festival and moved to May, when it was colder and rainy. They had a lot of the same restaurants (although to me it felt like a lesser quality), vendors, entertainment, and wares for sale. The big difference was that they had water-related activities like water guns and a water tank although when I was there I did not see either in action.

These have a nice tone and last a long time for a fair price.


These are steel strings as opposed to nickel wound so I guess this has something to do with the lasting tone and good longevity.


Also, I believe these strings are cryogenically frozen (!?!?) to -300 or thereabouts which apparently causes the string/metal to contract and squash out the spaces that would normally be between the winding of standard strings. This is supposed to be better for tone and promotes less transients and odd, unwanted sounds from the strings. Apparently.


I'm not 100% sure on this technique but they do seem to sound really good so I'd suggest Mr Markley's scientists know more than I do about the subject.<|endoftext|>LaFiesta offers a wide selection of online casino games and new players will be welcomed with a great 400% Bonus.<|endoftext|>long layered curly hairstyles with different types of waves long layered curly hairstyles with different types<|endoftext|>Rotherham Apartments is a family owned and operated complex, small in quantity, but big in service.

Happy May! This is a big month as schools finish the year, and we’re all wondering when our favorite TV shows will come back. In the summer more young people watch TV, play video games and go to movies than any other time of year, so PLEASE pray for them. Also, did you know that May is all about “TV Upfronts?" That’s when all the TV networks sell advertising for their new season. We know that needs prayer because those decisions affect every single one of us! Before you start praying, click here to read some insight into the Upfronts.


HPN and Mastermedia International hosted a miraculous event on the National Day of Prayer on May 3rd called LEGACY: An Evening of Story and Prayer. Over 450 Christian industry professionals gathered on a CBS soundstage for a night of amazingly inspirational stories and prayer, and we are praising God for His faithfulness to our community and for what He's doing in us and through us! You can see some photos and testimonials on our Events page below.


Tuesday evening, May 15th began the month of Ramadan, ending on Thursday evening, June 14th. It’s a time of fasting and prayer for Muslims worldwide, to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad, according to Islamic belief. It’s also the biggest time for TV binge-watching for Muslims. TV advertising prices double as shows reach the growing audience that break their daily fasts with dinner and then TV binging! Let’s pray that the influence of television will open all the viewers' eyes and hearts to the love of Jesus during this month.


Pray for 74 year old Chad Allan, an influential Canadian musician who is still struggling with paralysis after suffering a stroke last year. Chad is a strong Christian and was the founding member of The Guess Who and also Bachman-Turner Overdrive. A good friend of Chad and his wife Christine has asked for our prayers for his healing and his continued Christian influence on his family, friends and fans. For more info:


Pray for the top influencers in Hollywood. Time Magazine's "100 most influential people of 2018" list came out, and we are asking you to use it as a prayer list! There is an "Artists" section of about 20 people that you can focus on for your prayers. Influencers are often lonely, isolated people and they need to hear from the still voice of God to guide them, give them strength and keep their influence positive. Please pray through the list below.


Pray for Woody Harrelson and his spiritual journey. Woody grew up in a Christian home, went to a Presbyterian college and his mother is a committed believer. But he is adamant about not being a Christian, as some celebrities are who grew up in Christian homes. Would you pray for the Lord to renew the hearts of those who know who He is, but have been hurt, turned off or drawn away through the years.


Pray for the nominees, the winners, the losers and the fans of the 79th annual Billboard Music Awards that’s airing on NBC on May 20th. Kelly Clarkson is hosting the 3-hour event from Las Vegas and every artist who has made the Billboard Charts this past year will be there. We want the Lord to be present there and for the musicians to find their pleasure and fulfillment in Him, and not in fame, drugs or rock n' roll!!


We praise God for the power of stories. They remind us that no one is hopeless in God’s eyes and we should all be loving everyone around us with the unconditional love of Jesus. We are thankful for the amazing transformation of ex-Playboy Bunny actress Andrea Logan White, who tells of how Hugh Hefner and the dark side of Hollywood led her to Jesus. She is now married to David A.R. White, the co-owner of Pure Flix Entertainment. Never give up on anyone to be touched by the miraculous hand of our God, especially in Hollywood!


Pray for the professional musicians in America. Composers, orchestrators, arrangers and music engineers who live and work in LA are often forgotten about since many of them are not celebrities. Let’s ask the Lord to bring Christian friends and co-workers to them, that they can encounter the living God, and that they will know that their music is a gift from the Lord and a crucial part of society. Music is the language of the soul and the people who create and produce it need our prayers. For instance, composer, orchestrator, arranger, J.A.C. Redford has written scores and orchestrated for some of the biggest films in Hollywood and he is one of the many committed believers who is making an eternal difference in his life and work. Please pray for J.A.C. and so many others like him, who are being creative witnesses for the Lord. He has also written an amazing book about his journey out of Mormonism and into music, which is our Book of the Month at the end of this newsletter.


Pray for all for the filmmakers, executives, distributors and buyers who are at the Cannes Film Festival. It began on May

Al Capone. Pablo Escobar. Now you. Join the list of criminal masterminds by following these pointers to help reduce the price of airfare to a level that might as well be stealing.


A domestic round-trip flight at the end of last year averaged $366, according to Airlines for America, the trade association for the largest airlines. If you travel as a family of four, that means you’re out over $1,400 without even factoring in the cost of baggage fees or transportation to and from the airport.


However, there are some ways to cut costs without sacrificing your next vacation. A group of people dedicated to scouring insider blogs and scoping airlines’ social media feeds, today’s travel experts offer the not-so-frequent flyer tips on scoring the best deals.


Click to find ways to cut costs on your next plane fare. Just know that you might feel a little bit like this just has to be criminal when all is said and done.


Few “insiders” are really looking for flight deals on Expedia, Orbitz or Kayak anymore. The rule seems to be that the more people know about a site, the less likely it is to offer rock-bottom prices.


If you want to look for flights outside of the airlines’ websites, experts say you are better off heading to lesser-known options to get big savings. These include Skyscanner, Momondo and Airfarewatchdog.


Other good sites include View from the Wing, The Flight Deal, ExpertFlyer and FlyerTalk’s forums. So, if you’re looking for the “black market” for flights, these options will all feel pretty illicit when you see how much you’re saving.


Credit card sign-up bonuses are “the easiest way to rack up miles quickly,” said Sam Huang, founder of Top Miles. And you should be able to find plenty of travel credit card deals.


Many major credit cards offer 50,000 miles or more when you sign up. How valuable are such miles? You can fly Singapore Airlines’ hotel-room-in-the-sky suites from New York to Frankfurt one way for under 60,000 miles, Huang said.


Be warned, though: You typically need good-to-excellent credit to qualify for these kinds of offers. In addition, the cards might come with fees. And if you are not responsible with your credit — meaning you do not pay off your monthly bills in full at the end of each billing cycle — your interest payments might wind up erasing your savings.


“Getting a free ticket via getting bumped is arguably more common today than it was five to 10 years ago since airplanes are flying regularly at full capacity now, making the need to bump greater,” said Scott Keyes, founder of Scott’s Cheap Flights.


Keyes has done this dozens of times and has a clear, five-step method for getting bumped, scoring a free ticket and keeping the cost of a vacation low.


Figure out your odds of getting bumped. Look at a seat map when checking in at the airport. If there are just a few or no extra seats, your chances are good.


Sit as close to the agent desk as possible. Keep your eyes and ears open. “On multiple occasions, I’ve beat out other potential volunteers by sitting closer and jumping earlier,” Keyes said.


Know when to pull the trigger. Keyes said airlines usually start offers at $250 and then ratchet up by $50 every five minutes until they get enough volunteers. “I typically pull the trigger early — usually the first offer,” Keyes said. However, he also requests to have his offer upgraded to match any final offers the airline grants to other volunteers later in the boarding process. “Most of the time they’ll agree,” Keyes said.


Leverage your offer. Recent FAA rule changes force airlines that bump passengers involuntarily to give out up to $1,350 in compensation, depending on the length of your delay. Airlines want to avoid this fine, so you can make some demands, such as a more direct route or a first-class seat. For a full look at your rights when getting bumped, read the federal government’s rules.


You can also score a free airline ticket by exploiting wacky — borderline illegal — promotions. Gilbert Ott, founder of God Save the Points, said he once took a free private jet from Boston to Washington, D.C., by finding a coupon code that offered a free flight credit.


“It was intended for people who became members of a really expensive membership program, but the code was accepted in the app, and we booked successfully without paying a dime,” he said.


While the experts admit that scoring tickets this way is pretty rare, if you know a guy who knows a guy — who searches online for free flight credit coupons or promo codes and follows major airlines’ social platforms for promotional giveaways — you might just get lucky.


In all fairness, this method does involve buying a ticket to get a free ticket. But if you are free-spirited, flexible and love to travel, it can be worthwhile.


The idea is to watch out for routes that earn double or triple miles and book a cheap flight just to earn them. These offers typically arise when airlines open a new route and want to promote it. Thus, they create opportunities to earn heavy miles.


Find the right balance of fare cost and miles earned, and you can wind up with what amounts to a great buy one, get one free deal without actually having to break the law.


Exploiting your credit card-offered miles takes some expert timing. Jason Moore of Zero To Travel wrote that he once got a free ticket by simply opening up a new credit card and then using it to pay his taxes. The combination of the sign-up bonus miles and the number of miles earned on this large “purchase” meant he earned a free ticket in less than 15 minutes.


Consider following this course with computers, televisions, major appliances or even home repairs with a contractor who accepts credit cards. These big ticket items or costly services — paid back immediately from your checking account, of course — can mean instant free flights with some offers.


Obviously, this doesn’t mean buying things you do not need, but the miles earned might help you turn a great deal on the new stereo you were already going to buy into a free flight as well, maximizing what you’re getting for your money.


One of Ott’s favorite ways to find great travel deals is to make online purchases through airline shopping portals. Essentially, you log in to your frequent flyer account on an airline website, go to the airline shopping portal and earn miles just for making purchases from your favorite retailer.


“It’s kind of like a referral program,” Ott said. And certain retailers will offer 25 or more miles per dollar. “If you buy a laptop from your favorite online store, it might be enough for a free flight. It’s so easy and can mean thousands of miles and endless free flights if you shop online.”


Like the previous tip, you will have to spend money to earn a ticket. But when it is stuff you need anyway, you might as well earn the miles.


In the flight-hacking world, mistake fares — or error fares, as they also are known — are fares so low they seem like a mistake because they often are. They happen more often than you think, said Janice Waugh of Solo Traveler.


Both Waugh and Huang recommend searching the website Secret Flying, which specializes in digging up these kinds of fares. Like a mileage run, this method is also something of a buy one, get one free situation and means taking long-haul flights in coach.


“For example, I am scheduled to fly from Taipei to San Jose, which will net me at least 11,000 miles round trip, for $165,” Huang said. He noted that 12,500 miles is enough for a one-way ticket within the United States.


An airline charges for fuel separately — you will see this charge itemized when you purchase tickets. Sometimes, that charge is the most expensive part of the ticket.


So, a fuel-dump ticket is one for which the airline has dumped the fuel charge thanks to some magical combination

"Having maintained a focus on U.S. policy in Central America and the Caribbean throughout the 1980s, the IRC turned its attention to the changing U.S.-Mexico relationship in 1990, producing a number of books on politics and development in Mexico as well as on U.S.-Mexico relations.


"Through our work on U.S. policy toward Mexico, we developed projects on cross-border organizing and the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, including our U.S.-Mexico Project and our Border Information & Outreach Service (BIOS). The work carried out under both of these projects is now consolidated into our Americas Program.


"The acceleration of the globalization process during the 1990s prompted us to establish our Global Affairs Program and its flagship project, Foreign Policy In Focus project (FPIF). A collaborative effort between the IRC and the Institute for Policy Studies, FPIF offers policy critiques and prescription aimed at making the U.S. a more responsible member of the global community.


"Over the course of the past two decades, the IRC has confronted the ever-changing landscape of U.S. foreign policy to ensure that alternative information and analysis are available to those committed to social change, winning recognition for our ability to bridge the gap between academic research and popular education and between the policy community and activists."
