My sister is having difficulties with her 17-year-old son. He is an angry young man who resists people who tell him what to do. He does not take on responsibilities around the home, and he comes and goes as he pleases without parental permission.
His behavior changed about three months ago when my sister prevented him from leaving their home by blocking the door. My nephew physically pushed his mother aside and left the home without her permission. My sister works nights, and often comes home to find her house full of my nephew’s friends. What can I do to help? How can my sister handle her son?
Adolescents often rebel, but your nephew’s actions extend beyond typical teenage behavior. It may not be easy, but change can happen. The first step is determining when or why the problems started. What happened three months ago before his change in behavior started? Did a major trauma occur in his life at this time? Has he always been allowed to do as he pleases? Have there been any consequences for his behavior in the past?
It is important that your sister consider each of these questions to see if the answers can explain some of these situations and reasons for his behaviors. Sometimes challenging situations can cause a child to act out in ways he did not before. If he was always able to get what he wanted in the past, he is going to believe that should always be the case. If he never suffered negative consequences for his actions in the past (such as loss of electronics, grounding, etc.), he most likely thinks there will never be consequences.
Your sister’s work schedule is not her fault. But as long as there is no supervision while she is gone, she will have problems. Can she make other arrangements for her son while she is at work? Are there other family members who can get involved? Is there a father or a strong male influence who can talk to him about his behavior? Can she contact her son’s friends’ parents and tell them that their children are not allowed in her home while she is at work?
The bottom line is that she needs to reach out to as many people who can help as she can. If your nephew continues to be unsupervised, he will most likely continue to disobey her.
If your nephew is willing to sit down and talk with his mother, the two of them should have an honest conversation about what is happening. They won’t agree on all points, but it will provide a chance for compromise and hopefully establish a degree of respect for each other.
Your nephew at age 17 is not an adult and therefore cannot come and go as he pleases. With age comes responsibility. Your nephew is not taking responsibility for himself. Your sister can help by showing a little tough love; if she stops providing some privileges and luxuries for her son, he will quickly get the point.
We encourage you or your sister to call our hotline at any time to talk to a counselor and explore other options. The number is 1-800-448-3000. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T10:27:30Z', 'url': 'https://www.boystown.org/parenting/questions-and-answers/Pages/angry-and-disobedient-17-year-old.aspx', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Scotland forward John Barclay will start as he makes his long-awaited Edinburgh debut against Leinster in the Guinness Pro14 at BT Murrayfield.
The 71-times capped back-rower, who was national captain when he ruptured an Achilles playing for former club Scarlets ten months ago, is named in a starting XV that features ten internationalists.
Four of those started in last weekend’s epic 38-38 Calcutta Cup draw at Twickenham as Darcy Graham, Hamish Watson, Ben Toolis and WP Nel all return for tomorrow night’s vital match as Edinburgh look to keep their play-off hopes alive.
Scotland centre Matt Scott also makes a welcome return to action for the first time in over five months following a head injury sustained against Toulon back in October.
Edinburgh coach Richard Cockerill said: “We need to be as strong as we can be because we’ve had some poor results where we’ve slipped up where we shouldn’t have.
The coach added: “It’ll be good to have John [Barclay] back on the field and he can share his experience with the rest of the team.

The Chroma dress features a round neck with a gathered tear-shape keyhole that ties at the front neck. The elbow-length gathered sleeve has a navy lurex elastic cuff that can be pushed up or down.
The Chroma dress can be worn cinched in at the waist with the attached self-fabric tie or loose and relaxed through the body. The curved flounced hem sits just above the knee. The Chroma dress is an easy, over the head style and comes with a soft rayon slip in blush.
This vibrant and fun dress will take you from lunch with your friends to a dinner date with heels. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T18:09:51Z', 'url': 'https://www.gingerandsmart.com/products/chroma-dress', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
As highlighted in a recent blog, higher protein breakfasts may reduce hunger in kids. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania recently confirmed these results in a study that compared the satiating properties of egg- versus two cereal grain-based breakfasts in children.
If protein at breakfast shows benefits, it may help manage or prevent overweight in kids.
Researchers at the University of Arkansas were interested in weight-related physiologic effects of high carbohydrate and high protein breakfasts among school aged kids. In focusing on kids, they noted that “In the U.S. 32% of children are overweight and 17% obese. Obesity is a major public health concern, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia.” [Baum, 2015] As communities and healthcare professionals look for solutions to the obesity problem, researchers are also working to discover ways to address the issue. Breakfast has been the subject of several studies related to weight loss and maintenance.
How Important Is It to Distribute Protein Throughout the Day?
New findings from researcher Il-Young Kim et al. suggests that the answer to the question of whether evenly distributing protein intake throughout the day is beneficial, may depend on several factors, like age, total amount of protein, and whether protein is consumed as part of a meal versus alone (Kim, 2015). What is known is that muscle synthesis efficiency declines with aging, making it particularly important to make every protein calorie count.
Newly updated pediatric report includes specific food recommendations as part of obesity prevention.
This all sounds dire. What is being done in response, and to what extent? International organizations have issued recommendations for policies to turn things around.
Lobstein et al.9 recommend policies to promote healthy growth and household nutrition security, more physical activity, consumption of nutrient-dense foods, and to restrict marketing to children.
Swinburn et al.10 proposed that an improved food environment requires strengthened “accountability systems.” The authors go on further to suggest, “several non-regulatory mechanisms (e.g., quasiregulatory, political, market-based, and public and private communications) are underutilized; these mechanisms will help strength the difficult step of holding private sector to account for performance.
Gortmaker et al.1 assess that “the empirical evidence base for effective interventions is limited but growing.” The authors call for involvement of all sectors: government, international organizations, private sector, and civil society. Their proposed policies include improving the food environment and the built environment, securing more funds for prevention and monitoring, and embedding actions into both health and non-health sectors.
In order to implement policies, what specific programs should be implemented at the local and national levels? Mayne et al.11 reviewed more than 1,000 abstracts and 115 papers, arriving at 37 papers as part of their systematic review of studies of the impact of policy and built environment changes on obesity-related outcomes in what they termed “natural experiments.” Measures included nutrition and diet (intake), physical activity, and effects on BMI or weight.
Results were instructive. For nutrition-related outcomes, improvements in the food environment were positive (bans/restrictions on certain foods; altering purchase/payment rules for food stamps). On the other hand, menu labeling with health information, or new supermarkets, were ineffective. Regarding physical activity, positive impacts were seen with improvements in transportation infrastructure (promotion of cycling, walking). Only one of three studies that directly measured impact on BMI or weight produced a positive effect.
Mayne et al.11 devoted ample discussion to evaluate the quality of reviewed research and how it might be improved. The study designs varied greatly in strength and quality. One serious limitation of most of the studies is that they measured process outcomes, but did not assess ultimate effects on obesity or BMI.
The above deal with higher-level policies. There are numerous proposals for preventing or treating OW/OB: -“wonder” products, elaborate diet plans, physical activity promotions, and environmental modifications among them. Some are undoubtedly ineffective, while others may be worthwhile, if we’re willing to make the effort. Roberto et al.12 note that while personal responsibility is basic and critical in the current setting, it is difficult and wearying to fight an unhelpful (obesogenic) environment.
I am heartened by many examples of local and community efforts to address OW/OB. Of great interest is a recent report13 on an elementary school district in California that has shown a 5% decrease in overweight children since 2010. A collaboration of policy makers, parents and educators devised a comprehensive health and wellness program to increase physical activity (throughout the school day) and add more fruits and vegetables to lunch menus, leading to tangible results that went well beyond school hours.
A final thought is that in addition to assuming more personal responsibility for our health, and participating in well-coordinated community efforts such as they did in California, we should also become involved in broader policy efforts at the local, state and national levels by communicating and counseling elected policy makers.

An estimated 35% of adults and 17% of children in the U.S. are overweight or obese, which accounted for obesity-related medical costs of approximately $147 billion in just one year.
A thorough review of recently enacted programs designed to reverse obesity trends showed that restricting or banning certain foods can be effective; while adding health information to menus, or opening a new supermarket in the community, proved ineffective.
Assuming personal responsibility for weight management is basic and critical, but difficult and challenging in America where high-calorie foods are widely available and heavily marketed. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T07:53:38Z', 'url': 'https://www.eggnutritioncenter.org/topics/weight-management-satiety/page/3/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Now that’s something I wish everyone would learn to respect. I’ve hardly ever been late in my life because I would rather wait than have someone wait for me. I was late for a photo shoot once because I had to wait for a make-up artist who was so unforgivably late. That was a tough lesson because it made me look so unprofessional in the eyes of the photographer. Needless to say, I never worked with the same make-up artist again. Recently, I was late for a lecture because the traffic was much worse than usual and the allowance I gave even for a slight delay was simply not enough. I hated disrupting the flow of that endeavor, especially since I know how much work, time and love the speaker put into it.
Last week I was very upset when my son was nearly an hour late being dismissed from an activity. I had him pulled out of it. I didn’t want to do that but he would have come home even more delayed and I know my children well enough to know how much time they need in between activities so that they do not become overtired. Part of my anger had to do with not being informed of the delay. In this day and age of texting and cell phones, there is just no reason for that. The other is that punctuality is a core value in my family. Honoring time is more than just being on time. It shows respect for another human being and for social order. These are the things of such deep value that we often take for granted. It has to do with adhering to agreements. Our children would do well to learn these things early as it will make them conscientious when dealing with others. It teaches them to honor commitments and treat other people with consideration. We cannot teach them these things by lecturing. We simply have to be the example and hope that they are in environments that support, embrace and live these values as well.
When you are late for something–whatever it is–you exhibit thoughtlessness. My younger child had to wait an extra hour for his brother that day and that didn’t bode well for either of us. He was having bouts of mild asthma so I wanted him to rest, but he had begged to stay longer that day and I relented because I thought it would also be good for him to have some play time, as long as by 3pm, they were both heading home. That was an internal agreement in our family that, of course, no one else knew about. But these are the things that are compromised when others do not respect time. There are so many invisible threads that are broken when we are not disciplined about our time. Would somebody else’s plans be affected if you’re late? It is highly likely. There are so many things we don’t know about other people’s lives that we might be disrupting–even if we don’t mean to–when we take their time for granted. The children came home very tired and out-of-sorts that day, our rhythm was off and I had to play catch-up just to make sure they could get to bed on time doing all the things they still needed and wanted to do.
For us hands-on moms, time is such a valuable tool. I plan my days and weeks around how much time it takes to get from one place to another, what needs to be accomplished before and after, how long it takes to prepare a meal and for the kids to get ready, when they have to be out the door to get to school at a certain time, then working back to when they need to get up, on and on forward and backward, all with the thought of giving them enough time in the day to just breathe out as well because they really need that, too. They need time to come home and just read or play and generally decompress and gather themselves. That is such an important health-giving part of the day for them. They need to breathe between activities and not have their days jammed with action! I cannot run my household or my life and give my children the rhythm they so need if I didn’t have this respect for time! To me, it is a friend and ally and respecting and working with it really helps put much-needed order in our lives. My days flow better when I have planned my time well and we all breathe better because we’re not scrambling due to poor planning.
Having said that, I know that there are instances when delays cannot be avoided, but it helps a lot when we let others know of this delay so that they can adjust or respond accordingly. That is always better than putting people in a position that compromises them simply because they were not informed and given enough leeway to adjust to the change. If our children are the recipients of such sudden and unavoidable changes in their schedule, we can better inwardly carry the change for them if we have been informed. Then the day will somehow move more smoothly because we know what’s what.
There are many values we want our children to learn and imbibe but what we don’t often see how closely related one is to the other and how, if we are lax in one, we are affecting everything else. I hate lecturing my kids because it doesn’t work, makes me feel like a witch, and it’s not the best way to teach anything. I try to just live what I want them to learn. I want them to be respectful about everything towards everyone, or at least carry the honest and heartfelt striving for it. If I am disrespectful, lax and casual about time, I am already being inconsistent within myself about this value that I so want them to live.
When others are late and my children are caught up in it, it really frustrates me. These are the times I feel compelled to say something to the children about honoring time. And I do. When others behave in a way that goes against our core values, then I am forced to show them the discrepancy. I cannot let it slide. I worry that other authorities in their lives are undermined, which is also not healthy, so I never put the element of blame in it but rather talk about the value that needs to be put right.
Punctuality is more than just being on time. It is a spiritual practice that cultivates respect for other human beings. That is a foundation that is best laid for our children from the very beginning. It is also an invaluable practice that instills an attitude of inner discipline in everything. It is a gift that will serve our children well for life.
Panjee, when did you start putting your children in nursery or pre school. As a full time mom, I have no rest except naptime for my 2 y/o, but just curious when did you start putting your children in childcare/pre school to give you some break. Thank you.
I think it was about 2 years old, but in our school that falls into the parent-toddler program, so I was there with them. Where are you from? | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T23:05:47Z', 'url': 'https://waldorfmom.net/parenting/punctuality/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Journaling allows you to record a copy of, or journal of, email communications in your organization and send them to a dedicated mailbox on your Barracuda Message Archiver, Microsoft Exchange Server or other archiving solution. The process of journaling is different from archiving. Journaling is simply a means of recording your users’ messages. Archiving, on the other hand, is a means of storing those copies in a separate environment for the purpose of regulatory compliance, data retention, or server maintenance.
Enter a Destination Email Address. This address should be reserved only to receive these journaled email copies and not for receiving other types of emails. Note that no message body is available for outbound messages that are encrypted by the Barracuda Email Security Gateway. If you are using a Barracuda Message Archiver, see Journaling to the Barracuda Message Archiver below.
Enter a Bounce Address to which email messages will be sent that the Barracuda Email Security Gateway could not deliver to the journal account - either because the receiving server for the Destination Email Address was unavailable or because the server refused the message. In no event will a bounce message be sent to the original sender.
Decide whether or not to journal all messages processed by the Barracuda Email Security Gateway, including potential spam. If you have enabled Per User Quarantine and do not want to journal messages that are quarantined, then set Do Not Journal Per-User Quarantined Email to Yes. This means that messages arriving in user quarantine inboxes will not be journaled at that time. If, however, the quarantined message is then manually delivered from the global Message Log, the domain Message Log, the Outbound Quarantine or the user's quarantine inbox, the message will be journaled. Setting this option to No means that ALL messages processed by the Barracuda Email Security Gateway will be journaled if you provide a Destination Email Address in this section.
Enable mail journaling as described above.
On the Barracuda Message Archiver, configure the IP address and TCP Port of your destination mail server on the ADVANCED > SMTP Configuration page so that incoming messages will be forwarded to your email server. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T16:38:17Z', 'url': 'https://campus.barracuda.com/product/emailsecuritygateway/doc/17106165/mail-journaling/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The small rental house sits on a hill, far from the neighbors. Its solitary perch is what attracted Tim to the place. Shy by nature, he considered it a find when he came across the cozy cabin lookalike even though it was reputedly haunted. In all his 50 years, he’s never encountered any paranormal or extraterrestrial activities and finds no reason to believe in them now.
As he’s wont to do every evening, Tim finishes eating dinner on his kitchen table, sips his rye, and starts talking to the empty chair across from him. Although timid, he likes to hear the timbre of his own voice when no one is around. He continues to spout about his day when the wooden chair transforms into a wooden head with its facial features and hair looking painted on. Its expression appears focused, fully engaged at what he was saying.
It must be the whiskey, Tim thinks to himself. Can’t be delirium. Although he’s been called a drunk, he doesn’t believe it because he can still stand and walk after many rounds of shots.
He rubs his eyes and stares at the chair, slapping his hands on the table just to make sure he’s awake.
“Ho now,” the outline of the mouth blurts out.
“Who are you? I didn’t invite you here.” Tim tries to assert himself.
“What does that even mean?” Bewildered, Tim can feel goosebumps forming on his arms and the hair behind his neck rising, as he’s starting to register the deadness of the wide-eyed expression on the face. Tim inches away from the table as he notices the head shaking a little, as if trying to move from its place.
“I’ve always wanted a body to call my own.” The head nods.
The sudden change of subject and the subject itself are enough to cause Tim to bolt out of his chair. As if powered by an invisible slingshot, the head catapults toward Tim, who loses his balance from the hit. Before recovering from his fall, Tim feels a little top-heavy, almost as if he is wearing a football helmet.
“I also wanted a buddy of my own,” Tim hears in his head, knowing the thought is not his own. Heart thudding, he runs to the bathroom mirror and looks at his reflection. The wooden head stares back at him with a wide grin.
Read it late though but wow!
Great creepy Halloween story Karina! I hope you had a good one!
Thanks, it was fairly quiet in the ‘hood.
That was quite the story! “…as if powered by an invisible slingshot, the head catapults toward Tim…” Bizarre and brilliant description. Happy (late) Halloween!

Subj: Group by Spool estimation.
We have a query that estimates 1.8 Billion rows that will be written to Spool prior to a Group By statement (and that estimates about right).
Looking at the columns I'm bringing into the Spool, I estimate 33 bytes per Spool row (assuming Trimmed fields go through into Spool in Trimmed format, Integers go through as 4 bytes and DECIMAL(18,6) goes through as 8 bytes).
How much extra Spool would you estimate being necessary for a Group By on all columns except the one Decimal column which is the summed measure.
In the past (with other DBMS's) I've assumed 2.5 -3 times the temporary space being required.
Any rules of thumb I can use in order to be able to calculate how much Spool I'm going to need to allow my query to complete? | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T15:29:18Z', 'url': 'http://teradataforum.com/teradata/20030911_121612.htm', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
How is the implementation of all the local government Climate Action Plans developed over the past decade going? Too many times the answer is that efforts could be better, but lag due to lack of funding. There is little research available on the details of how local government organizations set or administer sustainable funding mechanisms for climate action and green infrastructure planning and implementation. Yet, we know that budgets for municipal climate action efforts and green infrastructure are often a low priority and underfunded. At the same time, more planning and implementation will be required to comply with a variety of new state policies (e.g., AB2188 Solar Streamlining Act, SB 350 Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act, AB876 Compostable organics reporting, new stormwater and active transportation requirements), meet new state and local goals (e.g., water and climate goals, RPS targets, Monterey Bay Power CCA formation), and compete for major grants at the federal and state level (e.g. AB 32 CA Global Warming Act Auction Funds). Carbon Fund is a catch-all phrase we use to refer to “Sustainability” or “Green” or “Energy” Funds and these funds can take many different formats. In general, a Carbon Fund is a mechanism to generate contributions or fees from individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and other parties to fund emissions reductions projects and initiatives. In turn, the funds generally disburse monies to sanctioned projects, which are often pre-defined by the fund’s rules. Carbon Funds can provide financing for GHG reduction projects prior to project implementation, thus reducing project risk by providing the upfront investment needed for many projects. Carbon Funds have been implemented at the international, national, state and regional levels, but only a handful of local governments and regional agencies have developed local Carbon Funds. In some cases, Carbon Funds have used carbon offsets as a mechanism to measure and verify reductions and to develop tradable credits. In California, the cap-and-trade program tied to the state’s reduction goals in Assembly Bill 32 (AB32) allows regulated entities to reach their emissions threshold in part by purchasing verified offsets. Many other municipalities and education institutions have some version of a Green Revolving Loan Fund (GRLF), i.e. El Cerrita, CA, San Jose, CA and an emerging UCSC GRLF. Other municipalities hold voluntary contributions from the community or employees in Sustainability Funds. The Issaquah, WA Community Sustainability Fund generates funds for projects and programs like neighborhood cleanups, community gardens, green businesses and bike and walking programs. The Community Sustainability Fund is funded by a voluntary donation on monthly waste and recycling bills. Funds are held in a dedicated account and cannot be used for other purposes. EcoShift is unique in its experience developing Carbon Funds for government, education and non-profit agencies. We can help you understand your options, and assess your fund generation potential. Please see our recent Carbon Fund Webinar slide deck for a more in-depth review of 4 Carbon Fund case studies and best practices. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T20:16:22Z', 'url': 'http://ecoshiftconsulting.com/carbon-funds/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Tree felling is the complete removal of a tree. Where space allows, the tree is felled in a single section using various techniques to control the direction of fall. We can safely dismantle any tree to ground level. We have experience of working with all sorts of trees and sites, including removing very large trees from very restricted sites.
Arbor Call will work closely with either our in-house or your ecology team to ensure that best practice is adhered to at all times.
Trees identified as bat roosts will not be felled until the appropriate consents have been obtained from Natural England and will be felled in a bat sympathetic manor.
Trees with woodpecker’s holes, cracks, splits, cavities and rot holes, can be ‘soft-felled’. This involvers section dismantling by removing the top branches first and working down the tree removing it in sections. A tree identified as having bat roost potential will be lowered sympathetically using ropes to ground level. Each section will be laid on the ground with holes and cracks facing upward for as long as possible (at least 24 hours under suitable weather conditions is advisable); this gives any possible bat a chance to vacate the tree. Please note that cutting through cavities would be avoided. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T11:13:37Z', 'url': 'https://www.arborcall.co.uk/tree-felling', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Monday I did what I actually should have been doing all week; I worked on the comic. I'm in the midst of creating party scenes, which take much, much more time (seven or eight figures, instead of two, plus props, plus three or four additional conversations). Wasn't happy with the final punchline, so I left it. Considered having a "finish the joke" contest. Decided against it.
Then I went to see snottygrrl! She was staying with her brother and his family, so BA, TJ and I met at their house and over the course of an hour, watched the small children, chatted with SIL, and decided on where to go to eat (which took the most time). Unfortunately, it had been so long since I've dined out in Northeast that I'd forgotten that most of the nicer restaurants are closed. Our first five or six choices weren't open, so we settled on a NW-style-MiddleEastern-Cuisine place, which was... interesting. A little odd. The wait staff wasn't too attentive, the ambiance was loud, and the food was hit-or-miss (we each took about two bites of the tapenade, and left the rest), but we enjoyed the company and the drinks. Not a wasted evening, by any means.
I'd like to say I was more productive, but I was not. Bounced between different chores, making the overall level of order better, but no one task got completely done. Well, I did clear out my car, but mostly by stuffing various boxes of into the back or taking them inside. Then snottygrrl called and asked if I was available to visit; and I was. When I arrived, I had to play "Cops" for a few minutes with T (who is about four), and we checked out the crawlspace above the kitchen. He liked that particularly. SIL then managed to get him to go play with something else, and I spent much of the afternoon talking and looking at pictures of snottygrrl's travels. It was very agreeable; aside from a few phone calls, we've hardly gotten a chance to talk without someone else around for... a long time. After a while, though, T couldn't stand having the possibility of something interesting going on without him around, and he came back upstairs to help me look at pictures.
After that, I swooped by to pick up berber_in_pdx, to go to the NaNo meeting! We arrived a bit early; the Librarian was there, but no one else. Then nmaki arrived and we had a few minutes of the four of us, and suddenly there were fifteen or so people jammed in around the ever-expanding table. We got some goodies and did some coloring (we consigned our "Inner Editors" to envelopes for the duration of November, so as to not interfere with our headlong first drafts), and then the group dispersed. sanguinity stayed around after, and we chatted until just before 9:00, when they released the rodents*. We then meandered to Sang's car, where we continued talking. It's always validating when one's friends seem to get along; it means everybody I know has good taste.
Today's highlights were an eye exam and finishing Comic #22. Not very exciting, I know, but I ordered more contacts (I'm wearing my last pair, which is not good if one gets torn or lost), and I came up with a punchline that made me giggle. There's no guarantee that anyone else will be amused, but it was better than what I had, so I went with it. Oh, wait, I got an email from WLS! She and her husband (Yanni), pulled up stakes from Colorado a while back, bought a place in Jerome, Arizona, and are making it into a Bed & Breakfast! Her email had their website, so I looked at the construction photos, read some of her blog, and sent her an email. Turns out she knew my news, because she's been reading my LJ (Hi!). I feel so wired, knowing that with our respective journals, we can keep track of each other's life completely without talking to each other. It's so New Millennium!
Had the Producer Meeting, which you probably read already. Then went to work. I've got a two-day workweek, since Nenslo is taking Saturday so I can go to the NaNo Kick-Off. Two days of work a week is about right. If I could make $1,000 per day on that schedule, I'd be very happy.
Put together a Vote-Incentive comic for the weekend. You should see it when you vote Saturday, if you haven't already. The content isn't vital to following the story, but why would you NOT want to know?
And I think I've got a story idea for NaNo. At least until I decide to do something else.
Tonight, I go to BA's house for a Murder Mystery game. We'll see how this goes; my previous experiences with them haven't been so great, but I have hopes. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T00:41:47Z', 'url': 'https://evannichols.livejournal.com/68599.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
With DrupalCon coming up our busy beavers were .. beavering away on their preparations. There were some other contributions going, so let’s see what happened.
We had a couple of improvements to our toolbox of choice.
Anthony Fournier finished a Webform patch for disabling client-side validation.
Derek Reese fixed a bug in the Session API module.
Matt Goodwin helped with update scripts for Fieldable Panels Panes related to Workflow UX improvements.
Matt also fixed a bug in Page Manager Search that shows up if the Panels pages are deleted but the search index hasn’t been updated.
I worked with Matt on the Fieldable Panels Panes improvements for editorial workflows.
Along with the client sponsored development, some of us had some internal time to work on other tasks.
Anthony, Jason Want, and Matt continued triaging the several marketing automation modules that Mediacurrent’s staff wrote or co-maintain, including Automate, Eloqua, Silverpop Engage, Pardot and Hubspot.
Mark Casias continued improvements on the Smart Trim module.
Mediacurrent worked with Acquia on a code sprint on Matt Davis’ Decoupled Blocks module for Drupal 8, with us sending Bob Kepford, Derek and Mark along.
I worked on some bugs in Backup & Migrate, specifically around the cache table handling and fixed a bug with the option for ignoring data from certain tables.
I released a new update of Field API Tab Editor that fixed some small issues with it and added some tests.
I continued working on improvements and fixes to Fieldable Panels Panes.
Obviously a lot of work went towards planning for DrupalCon, between people helping to organize it and others putting the finishing touches on their presentations. I do hope everyone had a great time in New Orleans! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T06:33:58Z', 'url': 'https://www.mediacurrent.com/blog/contrib-committee-status-review-april-2016/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
About a fly pattern from the outside facade of Williams-Brice Stadium sits a luxurious line of alternative tailgating that makes South Carolina’s gameday scene stunningly different than any other in the country.
The high-end fans don’t tailgate under tents in Columbia. They do it in cabooses. And there are 22 of them, all flashy garnet red ones that sit in a row but never move. They just sit there all year long, but they come alive on fall Saturdays whether the Gamecocks are playing next door or on the road.
They are quite a sight to behold, and provide quite the experience.
The path for South Carolina’s famed, stand-still trains was paved in 1990 by Columbia businessman Ed Robinson, a real estate developer who saw the future not in Gamecocks football but in Gamecocks tailgating. He wanted South Carolina fans to have the best parties, even if they didn’t have the best teams.
Robinson and a partner bought 22 cabooses from Illinois Central Railroad along with a railroad spur from transportation supplier CSX. The spur was placed right along Williams-Brice, just to the southeast, and the cabooses were put on the track, which is near the real train track that bisects the campus where the cars actually, you know, run.
Meanwhile, over in Cockaboose Country, the cars sit still, and the fans sit inside them — and party hard on gameday. The cabooses are privately owned, and at the birth of this tailgating twist they sold for only a few thousand dollars. But according to that Times report, one reportedly went on the market for $300,000, which probably makes the “modest” annual dues and state and local taxes seem like nothing.
The 270-square-foot cars are maintained by a private association not affiliated with South Carolina. And there are knockoff cars farther from the stadium, which brings to mind the saying about how imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It also proves that the Cockabooses are an accepted and celebrated tradition at South Carolina, that they are uniquely Columbia.
South Carolina’s revolutionary tailgating nuance was copied by Louisville, whose dominant color is also red. But there’s that saying again about imitation and flattery, and of course there’s nothing like the original.
The 22-car line must be maintained though, treated with respect amid the season-long revelry that goes on inside every Saturday, because the owners can hang in their cabooses for road games, too. But there are a few rules for the fortunate ones who enjoy the cool view from the perches beside Williams-Brice.
The most important is that while owners have free will to decorate the inside in their own unique way, and they indeed do that, the outside of the cars must not be altered, with “South Carolina Cockaboose Railroad” plastered across in white against that brilliant, garnet red. In the middle of the outside of each car is a cutout of the state of South Carolina with the Gamecocks’ logo mounted to the side.
“It’s the perfect blend of football, hospitality and luxury partying,” wrote ESPN.com’s Wayne Drehs.
And what makes it all the more impressive and unique is that it happens at a school that doesn’t have a strong winning tradition. Before Steve Spurrier arrived, their all-time record was nine games under .500. The Gamecocks are just 8-12 all-time in bowl games. They’ve never won a national title. Heck, their two claimed conference titles precede their entry into the SEC — by over two decades.
But that doesn’t matter in Columbia, where the loyalists pack Williams-Brice every year and for the past quarter-century have done the same next door along those row of Cockabooses. They have air-conditioning and heat, cute kitchens and, of course, bathrooms inside those luxurious tailgating cars, as well as charming, canopy-covered rooftops to gaze out from as you sip your choice of beverage while the food simmers below.
When the football-crazed cabooses opened for business, the first 20 reportedly were snatched up in 48 hours, and there have been few up for sale ever since. The Gamecocks have hardly ever had the best of anything on the football field. But these little cars that don’t move an inch have taken the fan experience in Columbia to elite levels.
Score one then for the grinders of the SEC East, who have been coached in recent years by elite names like Lou Holtz and Spurrier but still are in the long shadow cast by rival Clemson, which is coming off a national runner-up season. But while Clemson has “The Rock” and “The Hill,” the Tigers can’t possibly match those snazzy cabooses.
The trains that don’t move a lick have had a stunning reach that’s gone over oceans, to England, where the Daily Mail picked up on South Carolina’s “railgating” and displayed pictures of the caboose amenities such as built-in stereo systems, big-screen TVs and chandelier lighting.
But the purpose of Robinson’s creation was to give South Carolina football loyalists the best of something during their Saturday experience.
No doubt, to be on Cockaboose Row, you have to have deep passion and deep pockets, as Robinson sought out big school donors who were lawyers, doctors, dentists and real estate developers like himself to get the “train” rolling. The Original 22 helped give the outside of the cabooses a much-needed paint job, then went to work on decorating the inside. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T20:09:54Z', 'url': 'https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/south-carolina-football/cockabooses-give-south-carolina-unique-gameday-tradition/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

I've re-designed the application, and it's now completely asynchronous.
I'll need one more week to fully test it, but i think next week it will be completed.
The application is almost completed, and everything is working very well.
But to summarize, next week i will probably be able to provide a full working version !!!
Great! Will try it on my HP envy X2 when you are ready.
I've removed the Play Folder/Music concepts, now the user just select one music and the player starts that the album playing from that music.
I've tested in both Music Database samples 20K/5K samples and everything went OK.
For the 20K sample, the scan process took 40m.
Please let me know if you discover any problems with the application.
Will you also release a 32bit version of this latest one?
Somehow it keeps stuck on scanning on my side.
Will try to use another smaller music dbase later to see if that gives a difference.
Mike, did the scan process finished with success? | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T02:23:39Z', 'url': 'http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php?topic=12646.msg85195', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The Gennum® GN7355 is a 2nd generation 10G EPON Transceiver chip designed specifically for the ONU (Optical Network Unit). The GN7355 builds on the 1st generation platform (GN7350) and includes performance enhancements and new features that are designed to lower the both overall power and cost of the module.
Through re-timing the high speed signal, the CDR within the GN7355 ensures highest link margin and lowest jitter signal. This provides much needed margin on the IEEE P802.3av 10G EPON standard, simplifies the module design, and enables interoperability with different MAC (Media Access Control) vendors. Gennum's long-standing leadership in CDR technology allows for easy integration of this functionality into the chip, while still meeting the cost structure and low power consumption that PON systems demand.
The GN7355 will be available for sampling soon. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T23:06:46Z', 'url': 'https://www.semtech.com/products/signal-integrity/laser-drivers-transceivers/GN7355', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

So remember this classic dish I made…..
Well, as tasty as this was I decided to remix it!
& what goes better with cream cheese, than a bagel!
…It may look strange…but believe me this one is tasty!
I love it because instead of using mayo in an egg salad I used avocado! GENIUS!
Crisp up bacon strips! Let cool & pat off excess oil. Mince up crispy bacon strips & put in a bowl. Slice up green onions or chives & add to bowl. Combine bacon, chives, cream cheese, salt, pepper, & garlic powder.
Dice up tomatoes, avocado, eggs & combine together with salt, pepper, & garlic powder!
Done! Add some lemon juice to help lesson oxidation of avocados OR** what I learned in culinary school is by adding the seed back into the avocado dish it helps lesson the oxidation.
Any bagel will suffice. I choose a Parmesan cheese bagel! mmmMmmm.
An easy & tasty remix!

Learning watercolor is not a science or technique to make things beautiful, it’s a pure flawless collaborated journey with water and color along with subconscious behavior. It’s highly important to learn the language of water when it’s interacts with color. Always remember that in watercolor painting water plays a vital role to shape-up your imaginative expression.
It all starts with your individual characteristic with water, it may sound inappropriate but the truth is you need to get friendship with the water every painting you make. How much water should be in your brush and how much water you need to mop, all should be driven from your subconscious mind while making watercolor painting. This is gradual learning process which should help watercolor learners to accomplish his/her dream to become a successful watercolor artist.
Thanks wendi for this info.

Route Guide: Start your trip at Haikou’s Movie Town, where you will turn back the clock and step into China’s past, then head down the coast to Bo’ao, a charming seaside town with quaint coffee shops and a truly unique beach.
Located just next door to Mission Hills, Movie Town's streets are laid out like old time movie sets. Dress up in period costumes and take photos on 1942 Street, Socialism Street, or South China Sea Street! The movie theme park also has theaters, restaurants, shops, and special performances to enjoy.
Visitors can dress up in period costumes and have professional photos taken against the historically accurate backdrop of the various streets.

I lived in San Francisco for a couple of years but never visited the cable car museum.
Cable cars are one of iconic things for which San Francisco is known for. I would say every tourist who visits San Francisco rides at least one time a cable car. Even if that means to stand in line for over one hour.
If you want to know more about the history of the cable cars and how everything works, you have to visit the cable car museum. The admission is free and it’s not only a museum building, it’s also the heart of all four cable car lines in San Francisco. I wasn’t expecting to see, what I saw there.
Besides the museum with the history about the cable cars, you will see the big electric motors who drive big sheaves to move the cable car lines. The cable cats itself don’t have any kind of propulsion system. All they do is to grab on to the moving cable which runs below the surface of the streets. You can actually hear the cable running beneath the surface when you walk over them. What you hear is the cable running over the many sheaves and pulleys which guide the cable throughout the city. There are 40 cable cars in the system. On an average day, a maximum of 26 cars are in operation at one time. There are two types of cable cars in use: Single-ended, which need to be turned around on a turntable at the end of the line and double-ended, which can operate in both directions. The single-ended cars run the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde lines; the double-ended on California Street.
Overnight the cable cars get parked in the barn above the museum.
When you enter the building and go down the stairs, you get a glimpse of how it looks like beneath the streets of San Francisco. From here you can see the giant sheaves guiding the cable where it’s supposed to go.
The cable moves at a speed of 9.5 miles an hour and all cables leave and enter the powerhouse under the museum.
When you head upstairs to the museum level, you can see the mechanics workshop, the giant General Electric motors powering the lines and at the far side the tensioning sheaves. This sheaves are mounted on a movable sled, which is attached to a big weight, to put tension on the lines. From 1888 until 1918 the cables were powered by steam engines. If you go outside and walk up Washington Street, you can still see the remainders of the chimney. It’s much shorter now after the 1906 earthquake. The electric motors you see today were built in 1984 by General Electric and have 510 horsepower each.
Cable Car Lines running towards the tension sheaves.
The museum has different exhibits to show how the cable cars grab on to the moving line to get pulled along with it. This is interesting to see. Interesting is also how the drive around curves. Some curves have many pulleys to guide the cable exactly along the center of the curve and the cable car stays attached to the cable. In other curves the cable car let go of the line, coasts around the curve and grabs the cable again. Next to the museum is a small gift shop.
The San Francisco Cable Car System was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964. The museum tells the story of the only working cable car system in the world. The museum has never charged admission and relies on profits from sales and donations to expand the museums operation. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T14:40:18Z', 'url': 'https://gatetoadventures.com/cable-car/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Being able to gain the cooperation of Infinite Intelligence is the key to mastering your desires in life. How on earth can we gain the cooperation of such dynamic force? As Hill point out the actual performance of transmuting Desire into money, involves the use of auto-suggestion or self-talk. This is the agency by which one may reach, and influence, the subconscious mind.
This is only half of the picture. Picture is a good word to use, because autosuggestion and self-talk must be accompanied with being able to see a visual picture of your desire.
Over the past years I have used what is known as a PICO board, also called a Vision Board. On these boards you put pictures of your desires. I was always amazed at the closeness of the items received to desired items that where to the pictures on the boards.
We become what we think about and we get what we repeatedly suggest, visually to ourselves, better known as auto-suggestion and self-talk. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T15:58:08Z', 'url': 'https://www.thinkandgrowrichlessons.com/post.php?post=4339', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

If you think it's better to make a post stirring up drama than to actually take the time and resolve whatever conflict happened by talking to management, maybe you should step away from your computer for a bit and calm down.
But to me you're just strenghtening my reason to leave and let me see i dont fit in with your habits.
I dont see how such a small thing needs to have a big outcome.
I tried to remove something unrelevant to make place for something relevant because the spawn is opening monday, but apparently it had such a big emotional value to some people that i had to be banned.
I might have not seen the fun out of it or just missed the point. But to me its the last straw breaks the camel’s back.
Yeah as Held said, you've chosen to leave instead of making your case. This management listens to feedback about changes, and it also reverses bans if they were unfair. What more can we do? If your ban was actually unfair then we can sort it out. I've seen quite a lot of ban, appeal and goodbye threads, and typically people don't just up and leave when they haven't done anything wrong. So you can wait for things to cool down and someone, probably mbl, can take a look at this, or you can move on. That's your choice, no one's forced you out.
Alright, didn't realise this was about a ban before - ban appeal threads (which this isn't exactly but it seems close) as a rule get locked on sight. Not gonna lock this one yet but I will say that if there are personal problems then you guys need to sort it out privately (i.e don't drag it into the forums) or come see me/someone else from management if you think something's gone really wrong.
I'll leave this unlocked in the event that this stays drama free and people actually want to say goodbyes but if it's just going to be people airing dirty laundry in public it's getting locked and probably deleted/moved. I'm not taking sides in this yet and as a rule it's usually sad to see people go but just saying you guys need to keep it sane.
Hey there. Hate to see you go man, and I hope you change your mind. You aren't actually banned (If you were, you aren't now), just removed from the whitelist. You still have [M] and everything that goes along with that, you'll just have to wait with the rest of the crowd for the official release. There wasn't much communication going on while you and the other group were building near each other, so I'll try and explain. You were all trying to do the same thing: add an interesting flair to the spawn landscape, and each of you had different ideas on going about it. Rather than each side communicating what they were doing, where, and why, it seems that destroying was simpler. Now there's some fault to be had on both sides here, and just some simple communication would've resolved it much more easily.
Again, I hope you change your mind and we see you again, but if not, best of luck to you in the future. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T08:05:44Z', 'url': 'https://forum.specialattack.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15817&view=next', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The stock market falls on the back of the EU Referendum has hit an ABS-owning property company the most, as well AIM-listed legal businesses with a personal injury (PI) element, a Legal Futures analysis has shown.
The PI hit looks surprising given that the current state of political uncertainty is likely to be good news for the claimant market, as planned reforms that will hit their businesses may not be seen as a priority at the moment.
Shares in Countrywide plc – owner of alternative business structure Countrywide Property Lawyers – has tumbled since Friday in line with other property companies. The estate agency and property services group closed on Thursday at 350p but was trading at 248p at the time of writing.
Government consultations on personal injury – to raise the small claims limit to £5,000 and removing general damages for ‘low value’ whiplash cases – and to introduce fixed fees in clinical negligence work were both expected once the referendum was over but the surprise result has thrown everything up in the air.
NAHL Group – the company that owns National Accident Helpline – has fallen nearly 20&, from 241p on Thursday to 200p today.
Redde – the owner of NewLaw Solicitors and the most successful listed legal stock in 2015 – has gone down from 155p on Thursday to 137p today, while Fairpoint, the owner of Simpson Millar, fell from 109.5p to 99p.
In Australia, Slater & Gordon was seen as one of the companies whose significant investment in the UK left it exposed by the vote, and its share price fell from 41c to 37.5c today.
However, the likes of national commercial law firm Gateley and litigation funders Burford and Juridica have not seen similar instability – Burford did initially drop around 5% but it has since returned to its pre-referendum level. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T14:44:20Z', 'url': 'https://www.legalfutures.co.uk/latest-news/listed-legal-businesses-property-pi-focus-hit-stock-market-turmoil', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The first to bring you this very special organic sencha from a small plantation located on the sloping banks of the scenic lake Imuta in Kagoshima which is famous for its rare dragonfly species which has led to the area becoming protected under law (The area is both a Ramsar Site and a Natural Monument of Japan). A very beautiful and natural setting for organic tea to grow without a doubt. Mist and sunshine are plentiful, the soil is mineral rich, and the lake provides a great natural water source.
Not only that, but this organic sencha is made from the grand saemidori cultivar and is light steamed a far cry from the heavier steamed saemidori sencha from Kagoshima. The aroma of the tea leaves is fantastic and the taste is wonderfully delicious, such a clear and clean taste, and certainly relax inducing, too. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T00:55:52Z', 'url': 'http://www.yuuki-cha.com/organic-green-tea/sencha/imuta-sencha', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
afrol News, 29 January - The newest report on the situation in Libya concludes on dramatic challenges for the North African country. State-building reforms are going to slow, endangering stability, and the Mali conflict may spill over to Libya, the UN warns.
Tarek Mitri, the head of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), briefed the UN Security Council on developments in the country. While praising the new government of Prime Minister Ali Zeidan, in office since 14 November, Mr Mitri's report mainly focused on challenges and dangers.
In particular the fragile security situation in Libya was of concern for Security Council members. One member, the UK, has already urged all Western citizens to evacuate Benghazi, Libya's second city, over intelligence reports a terrorist attack may be imminent.
Mr Mitri confirms these security concerns, especially highlighting the fragile situation in Benghazi and the vast south of the country, where government seems to lack control of the situation.
He also drew up a new and grave security concern: "Security along Libya's borders also remained a concern," Mr Mitri said, "particularly given the possible impact of recent developments in Mali."
As the Islamists, originally armed after the collapse of the old regime in Libya, are driven out of Mali's cities by French troops, they are fleeing into the Sahara desert. There are concerns they will seek to establish new strongholds on territories where state control is lacking or minimal.
ontrol the Tripoli government has over the southern desert part of the country.
In addition to threats of foreign insurgencies and local militias, the UN representative highlighted the threats to stability by the slow paste of state-building reforms. The transition process in Libya is going too slow, adding to security problems in the extensive country.
"It is worth insisting that many difficult decisions have yet to be taken in the areas of constitution-making, transitional justice, reconciliation and, it goes without saying, security sector reform," Mr Mitri insisted.
Pressure has been mounting for progress in the constitution-making process but parliament has not yet determined whether the members of the constitution-drafting body are to be appointed or elected, "an issue intertwined with regional politics," Mr Mitri said.
On the positive side, Mr Mitri said that recently installed Prime Minister Zeidan "appeared to enjoy broad support from the elected legislature, the General National Congress, political parties and the public." Also, security reform had gained momentum, with over 20,000 revolutionary fighters having enlisted with the Ministry of Interior's training process since security restructuring plans were announced in December.
Libya has been undergoing a transition toward a modern democratic state, after decades of autocratic rule and the toppling of the regime of Muamar al Ghaddafi. The former leader ruled the North African country for more than 40 years until a pro-democracy uprising in 2011 led to civil war and the end of his brutal regime. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T00:57:29Z', 'url': 'http://www.afrol.com/articles/38099', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
A week ago Saturday, Yang and I had the pleasure of biking on the rail trail from Pittsfield to Adams, MA. We couldn’t have asked for a better day with the sunshine, pellucid blue October skies, and mild weather. Fortunately for us, the foliage was just moving into peak, giving us some lovely sights. Here I go!
The following photos start at the end of the trail in Adams because we wanted to make sure we could get that far, so we didn’t stop for photos on the way down. To our surprise, the trail had been extended by about two miles along the new rail tracks and the Hoosic River. After 12.5 miles, we had to take a little break. The sun softly and warmly lit the surrounding hills, but I don’t think my camera could quite capture the magic. Still, I think the image is pretty neat. Also pretty neat is Yang taking a break and noshing on a Honey Crisp apple. We’ve got way too many, since I accidentally bought a bag of them instead of Macs for apple pie.
Coming back through Adams, we saw a gorgeous Great Blue Heron skim by along the Hoosic, but we couldn’t catch up to him to get a shot. Nevertheless, as we came back through town, I managed to get this picture of the twin spires of a Catholic church rising between the town buildings and the warm seasonal colors of the surrounding hills. What must it feel like to live nestled in the arms of autumn glory?
Going into Adams, along the trail, you rush down a steep slope, accompanied by the galloping river. It’s a kick to ride down. Going back up it is a kick in the pants! What an incline! I still managed to charge up to the top without stopping. This old gal can still make it without having to walk her bike. Yippee for me! Once you get to the top, there’s a bridge over the pooling river where you can rest – and fish! We met a young dad taking his son fishing. They were after trout, but further toward Pittsfield I had talked to a young guy who’d caught a pickerel. Didn’t think to get a picture, though. Anyway, here’s the other side of the bridge with the handsome Yang looking profound and happy.
On the ride back, we luxuriated in watching the surrounding hills changing into their fall vestments! Lovely, right?
There were other trees that created a wondrous concert of colors: blending with one another or even displaying a deliciously complimentary palette all in one tree. Delighting in these gorgeous crimsons, oranges that flamed or shone a gentle peach, yellows pale or startling, I thought of the fourth novel I planned in my Jessica Minton series. It will be set in a Maine in a vibrant autumn show of color. The beauty of this season, the liminal sense of freedom and haunting adventure draws me to create a tale of delicious mystery and spirit.
We rode toward the end of our journey, with visions of crepes and tea dancing in our heads – 25 miles works up an appetite! But the beauty of New England fall never deserted us. So, enjoy the ride along with us.
So glad you like it, kathy. Aren’t we lucky to live in new England? | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T18:10:48Z', 'url': 'https://sharonhealyyang.com/2017/10/15/return-to-pittsfield-for-fall-beauty/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

A distillation column can be used to separate liquid and gases based on their different boiling points. Using a heat source (wood, coal, lava, or other hydrocarbon fuels mined in Polycraft) and buckets of water, different items ranging from agricultural items (apples, wheat, potatoes) to crude oil can be separated into their different components. The distillation column is needed to convert crude oil into its more useful individual components such as natural gas (methane) and fuels such as diesel, gasoline and jet fuel. Food items such as wheat, potatoes, apples, carrots and nether wart can be distilled into alcoholic beverages like wine and brandy. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T08:45:37Z', 'url': 'https://polycraft.utdallas.edu/index.php?title=Distillation_Column&oldid=4405', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Translated, the name Las Ventanas al Paraiso means “the windows to paradise” and this magnificent hideaway on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula certainly live ups to the name.
Las Ventanas is recognized as a premier AAA Five Diamond resort in Latin America and is considered among the very best worldwide.
With 71 lavishly appointed suites, exquisite decor and architecture, the intoxicating ambiance of this resort is just a 26 minute drive from Los Cabos International airport and 15 minutes from both San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.

BrailleMe Wins Touch of Genius Prize!
National Braille Press held its Adjudication Committee meetings last week to deliberate on this year’s Touch of Genius Prize winner. This year there were nineteen applicants from three countries that submitted very competitive and engaging ideas, concepts, and products.
The Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation was awarded to Innovision, a company from India that created the refreshable braille display, BrailleMe, which will offer an affordable option for getting braille into the hands of as many blind people as possible. The committee was impressed with how their unique engineering design produces quality braille at a very low cost. The BrailleMe uses a magnetic actuation with only one moving part to raise and lower braille dots. This simplifies the manufacturing process and eliminates many possible sources of failure compared to legacy braille display technologies.
Honorable mentions include: LightHouse for the Blind San Francisco for their improved developments with TMAP, software that produces tactile maps, and American Printing House for the Blind for the BrailleBlaster, a free braille translation software to help get more braille textbooks to children across the country.
NBP will be awarding the prize to Innovision at the CSUN conference in March, where the BrailleMe will be on display.
This week on Spotlight the Cool Blind Tech Team features Claria Zoom.
Claria Zoom is an all-in-one application helping elderly & people suffering from eye diseases (AMD, glaucoma…) stay active and independent.
Claria Zoom won the Golden Silmo award at the 2014 World Optics Fair in Paris. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T00:28:56Z', 'url': 'https://coolblindtech.com/brailleme-wins-touch-genius-prize/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Flying is one of the safest ways to travel, and statistically is much safer than driving. However, you really never want to be on a flight when something goes wrong as your options are limited, and passengers on a Japan Airlines flight from Tokyo to Boston can count themselves lucky today.
The Japan Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner used for the flight caught on fire after landing, but thankfully after passengers and crew had left the plane. The fire is thought to have been caused by a battery that forms part of the auxiliary power system on the aircraft.
The battery apparently overheated and one of the maintenance workers noticed smoke appearing on the exterior of the aircraft. The fire broke out in the rear of the Dreamliner.
A full investigation is now underway by the FAA with Boeing involved for assistance on figuring out the cause. As the Dreamliner is still a fairly new aircraft it could just be a minor problem. However, if it turns out to be a design flaw then this could be a very expensive fix for the company.
The Dreamliner has already experienced a number of electrical problems, with one even forcing an emergency landing last year. Even so, a fire is one of the worst things that can happen to an aircraft considering how much fuel they carry.
The worst case now is if a major design fault is found and the FAA decide to take further action due to the other faults that have already been identified on the aircraft. For now, I’m just glad I don’t have a flight booked on a Dreamliner anytime soon. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T16:43:56Z', 'url': 'https://www.geek.com/geek-cetera/overheating-battery-causes-fire-on-boeing-787-dreamliner-1535153/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

There is a warning in a recent Inner House decision that people should be very careful about what they agree in a Pre-nuptial or Post-Nuptial agreement.
The purpose of each of them is broadly the same – to make a binding and enforceable arrangement about money and assets without having the details imposed by the court. Scots Law has always encouraged parties to reach their own agreements if possible, subject to the protection (s16 of the Family Law (Scotland) Act 1985) of the party who has been disadvantaged by the terms of an agreement which was not reasonable when it was entered into.
The recent case emphasises how difficult it can be for anyone to overturn their agreement in circumstances in which there was the opportunity to take legal advice, even if the advice was not followed.
In the recent case the husband and wife entered into an agreement whereby the husband paid the wife £60,000 in full and final settlement of any claim she may have on any of the matrimonial property. It seems likely that the deal was a very poor one from her point of view. The wife had the opportunity to take legal advice and did in fact consult a solicitor who was wise to put in writing the fact that he advised her against signing the deed as it stood. She claimed that the husband had subjected her to abuse and pressure to make her sign the deed and had failed or at least delayed to disclose some of his assets.
The court said that in the absence of other relevant circumstances which might include evidence of poor mental health affecting cognitive ability, of one spouse taking unfair advantage of the other’s vulnerability, or of a lack of poor legal advice, neither a very unequal division of assets nor a poor state of mind gave rise to a necessary inference of unfairness or unreasonableness for the purposes of Section 16 of the 1985 Act. The court found that the wife had suffered from a moderate depressive illness but said that that could not be determinative since she had received sound and proper legal advice and chosen to act contrary to it.
The message is plain that the bar is set quite high for anyone who tries to set aside the terms of a formal legal agreement, especially if they have received independent legal advice, whether or not they have chosen to reject it. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T16:31:26Z', 'url': 'https://www.btofamilylaw.co.uk/pre-nuptial-and-post-nuptial-agreements-sign-with-caution/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

So, you’ve watched too many episodes of Silicon Valley and have decided to found a startup. Awesome! Let me guess: you spend a lot of time on this startup. And when I say a lot of time, I mean all of your time. And when I saw all of your time, I mean you live and breath this business.
Without you, your company would cease to exist. This isn’t just me being overdramatic – your company is simply too young to survive the loss of a founder.
That’s why you shouldn’t be surprised to see something called "key person insurance" on the term sheet of a Series A or B fundraising round. Well, you might be surprised if you’ve never heard of key person insurance (sometimes called key man insurance).
So what is it? Key person insurance is a life insurance policy, but instead of the death benefit going to a spouse, partner, child, or trust, it goes to the company. The company will pay the premiums, too.
It can provide a buffer period where the company can look for new leadership.
If your company decides to close, it can be used to pay off debts, investors, and give a severance to employees.
In both cases, the company uses the death benefit to give itself time to regroup after a tragic loss.
Now it probably makes sense why it’s required on your term sheet, right? Your investors are pouring millions (and millions) of dollars into your business, but they’re not just investing in the business – they’re betting on the founder’s vision.
Investors may want to insure more than one key person. An example: let’s say your startup relies on a specific person’s expertise and losing that person would set your company back years or make it impossible to deliver on your goals. You’d want them covered by key person insurance.
Key person insurance does not replace a personal life insurance policy, as none of the money from key person insurance would go towards family members. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T00:47:43Z', 'url': 'https://www.policygenius.com/blog/why-startup-founders-need-key-person-insurance/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

On the chance you were beginning to doze, I thought that I would throw that in there: "sexual"... But in all seriousness -- this is something that is only too obvious now to everyone except the most repressed fundamentalist of one sort or another -- we are very sexual beings: we are not just interested in, or driven by, the desire for sexual play, union, and reproduction: but everything about human beings and of all existence is unabashedly "sexual": I mean, ee-gadz, even our atoms are not "ours alone", for they fly off constantly, inter-penetrating everyone, anyone, and everything!

This month, March 2019, more than 7,000 athletes from almost 200 nations worldwide arrived in Abu Dhabi, along with 3,000 coaches and over 20,000 volunteers, to compete in the 2019 Special Olympics World Summer Games. RNN'er Jill was one of those 20,000. She played her part in the games by joining #TeamIreland for an unforgettable trip. This week’s WWW is dedicated to Jill and her experience.
My ’WHO’ must go to my comrades, the 74 #TeamIreland volunteers, and in particular my media team volunteer buddies! Travelling as the ‘wolf-pack’ we were responsible for sharing the contagious content out to whoever would listen – the stuff you see on the TV, in the papers, on Insta, Twitter and FB came mostly from this amazing team!
As part of the media, we were privileged to have ‘access all areas’, and it really was a privilege. We got to know the athlete’s personalities, witness the pride of families and watch the amazing coaches encourage their teams throughout this whirlwind ten days.
Need an excuse to smile today? Check out the click that has gone viral, the magic moment golfer Mark Claffey discovered that he had won GOLD for #TeamIreland at the Special Olympics World Summer Games.
The spirit of Special Olympics was alive at the star-studded Opening Ceremony in the iconic Zayed Sports City Stadium in the heart of Abu Dhabi, the largest sports venue in the Persian Gulf!
The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi officially welcomed more than 7,500 athletes and 3,000 coaches, representing 200 nations , to a crowd of thousands who had packed into the stadium to watch the incredible live show that weaved together amazing live performances, music, dancing, inspiring speeches, colourful displays and fireworks.

@Chuck, Thank you sir. Every wizard I know has been mischievous.
@Pat, You're too kind. Because I use a laptop they can take a really long time to do. So I've slowed a bit.
Vivid imagination I'd say....Tim how can one get bloodied by a bubble? As good as ever!!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm trying to catch up and get around to all my usual blogs...so bear with me! It's good to be back, but it's tough to take such a long break away, too! LOL.
@Brad, Yeah, can I hitch a ride back through time since you have a machine?
Jo, How could you not?

This is Part 2 of a three-part series on climatologist, Dr. Cameron Wake. Read Part 1 here.
Dr. Cameron Wake’s research started with the analysis of ice cores from the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau and evolved to include cores from Arctic glaciers. He studied the composition of water and amount of dust that existed in the layers of the glaciers formed over thousands of years ago. He said that this research led to three at first seemingly uninteresting discoveries that added up.
The first of such was that his team’s research defined “the spatial and temporal variation of precipitation chemistry in central Asia.” Wake explained that the study of ice cores is the study of changes over time, but central to the understanding of what those changes over time mean is the understanding of how the basic chemistry of precipitation varies over space and time.
The analysis of the change over time of precipitation chemistry led to the second significant result of Wake’s research in the Arctic: the development of a relationship between changes in ice core chemistry and changes in summertime sea ice extent. Lastly, his team tracked changes over time of various pollutant deposition in the ice.
During this exploration and research, a new batch of ice core scientists were educated by working on these research projects.
“[The paleoclimate record] has provided me with a perspective that allows me to say with confidence that humans have now become a major geological force capable of changing the climate system,” he said.
Climatology…on ice! Cameron Wake, Researcher and Professor at the University of New Hampshire, is passionate about ice. He plays on it and he works on it. Hockey and ice cores shows Cam how ice is part of the fabric of life in northern New England. And the ice itself has a story to tell. For over 100 years the ice has told of the effects of climate change by marking the day of its departure from lakes in the region. And as that date gets earlier and earlier over the passing decades the ice tells the story of a warming world, even in spite of winters with snow to spare.
With a 2011 Gallup poll showing only 50 percent of respondents concerned about climate change, there seems to be an obvious rift between the climate science that Wake studies and public understanding or opinion on climate change risks.
Wake pegs part of such climate change denial on citizen inclination towards certain beliefs, such as whether or not the government should interfere with business or with individual decisions. He said that climate change denial advertising campaigns paid for by Exxon/Mobile and big coal companies appeal to individuals who are predisposed against government intervention.
He says he grapples with climate change denial a lot because it has a big impact on how climate scientists, ecologists and environmentalists go about solving the problem.
“I think for 20 years scientists have basically said, ‘Hey look, we just need to do good science and public policy will follow,’ and in fact, that’s not the case,” said Wake.
Wake does his best to take part in this engagement through a variety of means. He talks at dozens of events each year to share the results of his research with the general public and has written a series of reports on climate change for a broader audience. He also served on the governor-appointed NH Climate Change Policy Task Force that wrote the climate action plan for the state and he currently serves on the NH Energy and Climate Collaborative, a group that seeks to facilitate and track progress towards implementation of the climate action plan.

In the last few year, I have learned so much from grief.
…Right there, in those ashes you find out that you are so much more.
Most of the loss can never be replaced of filled - so you grieve, but you also live. And life has this amazing way of not wasting anything.
So… We survive. we breathe. we wake up, somedays easier than others.
We meet new people. We find new passions. We find new Projects. We try new things.
People who we never knew we missed, but when you meet them, you know that they are supposed to be part of the fabric of your life. Passions that were there along, but didn’t have space to grow.
Life opens up in these spaces and new things grow right in the ache and tears. Nothing is replaced, it can’t be, but the new comes. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T00:33:38Z', 'url': 'https://www.brandonjbrown.com/humanblog/left-behind', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Team RSBC are taking on the London Marathon 2019 to ensure no child grows up to be poor or lonely just because they are blind..
I started running in March 2018 to lose a little bit of weight in order to keep up with my 20 month old son Rhys. I soon started to achieve my goals and set new goals of which I met again and again.
I never thought I was capable of some of the challenges and runs I have completed, and it was this thought that made me realise that I could inspire Rhys and hopefully others. He could look at me (in the future) and think 'my dad did that'!
When completing my first 10K race in London, I met a huge amount of fellow runners who were running in order of multiple charities. It suddenly occurred to me that I too could give something back and combine this with my running.
As such I researched the 'Royal Society for Blind Children' who do such an amazing job supporting uk based blind children and their families. I look at Rhys everyday and am so grateful he is in good health, something we take for granted everyday. I personally cannot fathom the struggle and anguish families and children must endure - its simply tear-jerking.
I recently ran the London Parks Half Marathon for this charity and am so proud of their achievements and the work they do, I have decided to run my first ever marathon for them.
Any kind of support you can give is hugely appreciated.
No child in the UK should grow up to be poor or lonely just because they are blind. 90% of those who lose their sight in youth won’t work for more than six months in their lives. Most will never have someone to share their life with. RSBC believe in a better life for blind children. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T18:01:58Z', 'url': 'https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/davebetts', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
It’s been a week full of awards, and a Gordon Bell Prize, for the Tokyo Tech GPU supercomputer team at SC11.
The team’s Tsubame 2.0 supercomputer was recognized as the most energy-efficient petaflop scale supercomputer by the Green500 list for the second year in a row. Powered by Tesla GPUs, the Tsubame 2.0 is currently the 5th fastest supercomputer in the world, according to the Top500 list.
Most notably, the Tokyo Tech won the Gordon Bell Prize at SC11. Known in industry circles as the “Nobel Prize of supercomputing”, the prize was awarded to the team for their research on creating lighter, stronger metallic materials.
Their research sheds new light on metallic materials’ internal microstructural patterns, called dendrites, which determine a material’s strength and weight. Rather than relying on computationally limited computer models and simulations, the Tokyo Tech team’s petaflop Tsubame 2.0 supercomputer has resulted in breakthrough insights into dendrite formation. In time, these insights will help manufacture metals that can ultimately be used to build more fuel-efficient cars with lighter and stronger metallic materials.
Here’s a link to a video of their research, showing dendritic growth in an Al-Si alloy solidification with 4096x1024x4096 mesh on 512 GPUs of the Tsubame 2.0 GPU supercomputer.
And, if that’s not enough, Tokyo Tech and Tsubame 2.0 also won several additional accolades, including three HPCWire Reader’s Choice Awards, and two ACM Awards (ACM Special Recognition Award for Perfect Score in Technical Paper (Bautista et. al.), ACM George Michael Memorial HPC Ph.D. Fellowships Honorable Mention (Bautista et. al.)).
Kudos and our warmest congratulations to the Tokyo Tech team. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T06:10:40Z', 'url': 'https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2011/11/29/tokyo-tech-research-team-nabs-gordon-bell-prize-at-sc11/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Although it's an established destination for Japanese role-playing games, the Game Boy Advance's opening months were particularly empty when it came to the stat-heavy, time-intensive genre. Save for the occasional port (such as the excellent Breath of Fire) it was up to Nintendo themselves to show how things should be done. Enter Golden Sun, an entirely new property developed by Camelot, creator of the fan-favorite Shining Force series on the Mega Drive, as well as more cutesy offerings like Mario Golf and Mario Tennis.
In some ways, Golden Sun was a very traditional role-playing game, with its standard turn-based battles and predictable cast, namely its silent protagonist whose village is destroyed at the start of the game (yawn) and a cast of brightly colored and floppy haired characters to contend with. What it lacked in imagination, at least in terms of starring line-up, Golden Sun absolutely made up elsewhere. Although it was an overhead, 2D adventure on a handheld, it featured some stunning visuals, with a glossy, rounded CG-esque art style, and battles framed in a dynamic camera that were topped off with some impressive spell effects. And while its characters were pretty ordinary, the quest's set-up was an interesting one, which saw humble villagers Isaac and Garret pursue members of an evil clan attempting to light ancient lighthouses, as well as rescue their childhood friends, who they have held captive.
Two particular elements set it apart from role-playing games of its ilk, notably when it came to skills and exploration. The game world's form of magic, Psynergy, could be used both in battle and in the field to help explore new areas. Abilities such as Whirlwind would sweep away foliage while Frost would create ice towers to fill in cliff gaps, and practically all dungeons used these to create some clever puzzle situations. The other element was Djinn; a fleet of brightly colored, elemental monsters that were collected along the adventure and could be assigned to characters. Equipping one would reap several benefits, such as stat increases, new classes and what Psynergy they could use. It was an element that worked hand-in-hand with exploration, where new Djinn opened up routes in the environment, and that many old areas hid away bonus creatures to go back and find. For a genre where dungeons were designed to hold items and monster encounters, this approach was a breath of fresh air.
It was these elements that made the game unique, and perhaps more importantly, added plenty of longevity. Unlike most role-playing games, Golden Sun was unusually short lived. Apparently designed to be one complete game but split into two due to cartridge size constraints, players were tasked with stopping an enemy party from activating four lighthouses, but the campaign only covered two. However, the game's length was extended with ultra-powerful classes to discover with the right Djinn combinations, a hidden bonus dungeon with extra challenges to play through, and the chance for players to pit their parties against one another over system link, which again like many of the game's elements, was something very few RPGs offered.
The sequel Golden Sun: The Lost Age soon finished the story, and offered a far wider, larger world to explore, as well as a unique twist where players started off as the enemy characters rather than protagonists Isaac and Garret. While it remained a popular franchise that fans hoped would return, last year's DS follow-up Golden Sun: The Dark Age was released with little fanfare from Nintendo, despite being received well by fans and critics alike. While Golden Sun appeared to be a run-of-the-mill RPG franchise, it offered some refreshing and very well-implemented ideas, not to mention one of the best battle themes I've ever encountered. With the tease that Nintendo is planning to revisit GBA titles in its 3DS eShop, I hope this is one of the titles earmarked with the downloadable treatment. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T06:19:21Z', 'url': 'https://www.gamingunion.net/features/2011/rpg-gems-golden-sun', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The European Commission has reportedly dropped its proposals to close depleted cod grounds in the North Sea, Irish Sea and the west of Scotland.
The decision was made after opposition from the UK and other EU member states with a North Sea coastline.
The closures were put forward by the Commission two weeks ago as a means to help conserve stocks.
Talks on national fishing quotas have started in Brussels between government ministers and the commission.
UK fisheries minister Ben Bradshaw told the BBC of the decision to abandon the closures on Tuesday.
French fishing boats have been blocking some northern ports in protest at the Commission's proposed quotas.
Conservationists are also demonstrating at the annual haggling marathon because they say the cuts do not go far enough.
At stake is the future not only of the dwindling stocks of cod and other pressure species but also the livelihoods of traditional fishing communities around the UK and across Europe.
On 16 December, Mr Bradshaw told the BBC News website that he would oppose the EC plans at the meeting.
Mr Bradshaw said the UK had already made some tough decisions and that this was not the year to introduce closed areas. He said other EU nations would support the UK to block the EC proposals.
EC fisheries commissioner Joe Borg says that some countries - principally the UK - have made great conservation efforts, but better enforcement of fishing restrictions is needed.
The European Commission is asking fishing fleets to absorb reductions in their catch of up to 60% for herring, 34% for cod - although there will be no change in the cod quota for UK waters - and 27% for mackerel.
A report in October by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (Ices) went further than the European Commission's proposals.
The scientific advisory body called for a ban on cod fishing in the North Sea, the Irish Sea and west of Scotland in 2005.
The Commission said that, after studying scientific reports on the state of fish stocks, its proposals for 2005 balanced the urgent need for reinforced conservation measures with the equally urgent need to keep the industry in business.
Ahead of the talks - which could last three days - the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO), a group that represents mainly English and Welsh trawlermen, backed the UK government stance.
It believes the existing UK steps taken to conserve cod stocks should be recognised by the Commission and other EU fisheries ministers.
NFFO president Arnold Locker said: "Over the last three years we have seen our cod quotas slashed by 80%, our mesh sizes increased by 20%, half our boats scrapped and our time at sea cut to 15 days a month.
"Partly as a result of these measures, the biomass of cod, according to the scientists, has increased in two successive years.
"No one is suggesting that we are out of the woods on cod yet, but this is not the time for a further suite of new measures.
"This should be a period of consolidation to allow those measures already in place to work. Cod stocks are slowly rebuilding." | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T02:58:40Z', 'url': 'http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4113927.stm', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
From relaxing on the beaches of St. Lucia to eating your way through Italy, we teamed up with TripAdvisor to find the best ways to spend your post-wedding getaway.
We're not going to lie: If you're glowing with the warmth of love and riding on the adrenaline rush of the wedding and the excitement of a brand-new marriage, there are probably a lot of places in the world that can make you happy on your honeymoon. (Trust us, finding the right guy to spend the rest of your life with was a much harder process!) Still, when you find the perfect collaboration of your heart's desire and his, that first vacation together in your new life can be — as magical as a first kiss.
You'll notice that our results span the globe, from exotic to domestic and everything in between. The lesson here? When you're talking about travel, romance comes in a rainbow of flavors. And we see the appeal of them all. While many couples reach for the relaxation of lazing on a beach in a bikini under a palm tree with a frozen fruity drink in hand and sand between well-manicured toes (this could be anywhere from the Maldives to Maui, Fiji, or St. Lucia), others want only to explore the cities of France and Italy one boutique, museum, historic monument, epic meal, and iconic selfie at a time.
Chances are, you'll spend a little more on this vacation than ones in the past and pay more attention to the details. But Instagram ops and amazing souvenirs aside, what really makes this the undeniable trip of a lifetime is the ring on your finger and the guy on your arm.
There's a reason the overwater bungalow was invented here. The oceanscapes surrounding these 118 isles and atolls are so otherworldly, couples want to spend every second of their trip on, in, or near them. Pick your oasis: Tahiti, home to the cafés and markets of Papeete; Rangiroa, beloved by divers for its teeming reefs and epic lagoon (the second largest in the world); or Bora Bora, famed for jade peaks and chic resorts. Better yet, take a few weeks and island hop; with an escape this far-flung, you'll want to hit as many spots as you can in the neighborhood.
These atolls in the Indian Ocean have a Robinson-Crusoe-meets-luxury vibe, with tiny palm-covered isles that are each topped with a luxury resort, often with thatched roofs that add to the faraway feel. The can't-be-beat diving is just a bonus.
This volcanic Greek isle is known for its white and blue buildings, insane Aegean Sea views, and doorways at the top of the island that seem to lead to clouds. Enter, and you'll walk down steps to restaurants that specialize in just-plucked-from-the-ocean seafood and romantic whitewashed hotels.
This Hawaiian honeymoon haven has a relaxed surfer vibe and tons of luxe beachside resorts. Wake at dawn for a sunrise bike ride down Mount Haleakala, and set aside a day to drive the Hana Highway, pausing for hikes to waterfalls and dips in the ocean.
This cluster of isles in the South Pacific is a land of ancient warriors and newlyweds. (Seriously, look around the plane and try to find a traveler who isn't paired up.) Book a room in a thatch-roofed bure (bungalow), catch a fire-walking ceremony, and snorkel or dive the legendary reefs.
These exotic tropical islands in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Asia offer a sense of adventure. The properties here are more rustic than some other island resort destinations, but the diving is unforgettable.
Hawaii's sleepier side offers a mix of quiet and adventure. Hike through lush rain forests to waterfalls, or take a helicopter ride over them, then hop a boat tour of the Na Pali Coast's cliffs or sign up for a snorkeling excursion to swim with giant sea turtles.
Thanks to Eat, Pray, Love, this Indonesian isle is now a hot spot for women travelers, but it's been a honeymoon mecca for years. And when you see the lush terraced rice fields, Hindu temples, and hushed beaches, you'll know why.
Just a short boat ride from St. Martin, Anguilla has some of the most spectacular resorts and white-sand beaches in the region — plus a rep for being a foodie's paradise.
This sleepy West Indies isle, once home to sugar plantations, is a little harder to reach but worth the trek for its off-the-radar atmosphere. The biggest draws: sea turtles, the rain forest full of velvet monkeys, and a famous barefoot-in-the-sand bar.
For many couples, Italy is a romantic dream. The good news: A honeymoon here can actually live up to the hype. Walk the line between trying to see everything — you can come back again! — and taking the time to enjoy la dolce vita.
St. Lucia is known for its twin green Piton mountains, but it is most famous among the honeymoon set for its own unique indulgence: the three-walled room, which leaves couples in a luxurious yet open-air setting.
The self-proclaimed sunniest of all the Caribbean isles — it sits outside the hurricane belt — Aruba is also known for wide white-sand beaches and adventure sports. Because of its omnipresent tradewinds, windsurfing and kite surfing are especially popular, though you can also water-ski, tube, snorkel, and parasail.
Framed by mountains, beaches, and vineyards, Cape Town has a rep as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. But for some honeymooners, South Africa is all about the safari. Explore Kruger National Park, camera in hand. You'll be on an epic search for the Big Five — lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos — plus hippos, giraffes, and zebras.
The appeal of these tropical islands? They're so close, yet feel so far away. That and the fact that the sand is such a pristine white, and the water is such a gorgeous pale blue, you'll think you've just stepped into a Photoshopped paradise.
Sailors love the British Virgin Islands, but even if you're looking for a vacation on dry land, there are great choices here — including more than a few private-island resorts. You can learn to sail, borrow a boat, or just get a ride out to one of the beach bars that are reachable only by water.
On these islands, you can have your Caribbean vacation on U.S. soil without a passport, language barriers, or foreign currency. To sweeten the deal, 60 percent of one of the isles — St. John — is made up of national parkland.
This Central American hot spot is known for its laid-back and natural vibe, surfer towns, yoga retreats hidden deep in the forest, and ecoconscious lifestyle. Our favorite thing about a trip here: hiking through the lush, monkey-filled jungle.
Book a Hawaiian vacation and chances are you'll fly into Oahu. There are three good reasons to spend a few days here before moving on: The best shopping in the state is in Waikiki, as are some of the most acclaimed restaurants. And if you're a surfer, you'll want to hit the legendary breaks on the North Shore.
Even if you took Paris out of the equation — and why would you? — this would still be one of the most romantic places on earth. Think lavender-carpeted fields in Provence, vineyards and tasting rooms in Champagne, and the chic beach towns on the French Riviera. Oh là là. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T06:46:31Z', 'url': 'https://ap-prod.brides.com/gallery/best-honeymoon-destinations-2015-05', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
THE remaining provisions of Cambodia’s Anti-Corruption Law have come into effect four months ahead of schedule, causing a stir among internat-ional companies that do business in the Kingdom.
One of the law’s provisions made illegal the payment of so-called facilitation fees, or informal payments to government officials for various services, insiders said yesterday.
Although insiders said companies generally supported the law, which came into effect on August 1, they questioned the speed with which the provision was implemented, given Cambodia’s entrenched culture of informal payments.
“The international business community is scrambling to try and reconcile this new law with what is a common business practice in Cambodia,” Matt-hew Rendall, managing partner at the law firm Sciaroni & Associates, said.
Businesses are still digesting the law and its effects, but Rendall defined illegal facilitation fees as any payment that is not formalised and scheduled. Offenders could face up to five to 10 years in jail, he said.
But that definition comes in sharp contrast to allowances made by some of the Kingdom’s main trading partners. Countries such as Australia and the US allow facilitation fees to be paid in countries where they are legal.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions does not deem facilitation payments illegal, though it does discourage the practice.
Companies now face severe penalties for making those payments in Cambodia, according to the law.
“What business person wants to take that risk?” Rendall said.
David Carter, president of the Aust-ralia Business Association of Cambodia, said the law was the right step forward for the Kingdom.
Still, Carter is concerned that the government’s move to call the law into effect so abruptly could have negative consequences in the short term for businesses.
“People are simply unprepared. So what businesses are doing now is figuring out how to live with it,” he said.
Carter called for the government to formalise and schedule as quickly as possible the payments that businesses have been forced to pay on an informal basis.
That would be the only way businesses could avoid prosecution by the Anti-Corruption Unit and continue operations as normal, he said.
Carter is also the chief executive of Infinity Insurance.
Others in the business community argued that although the law was now in effect, its implementation had yet to be determined.
Bretton Sciaroni, partner at Sciaroni & Associates and president of the American Cambodian Business Council, said the business community had been in discussions with the Cambodian government about the adoption of the law for some time. Those discussions were ongoing, he said.
Sciaroni said the law could have “a very dramatic impact on how business is conducted in Cambodia”, as he understood it would be strictly enforced. But he said it was too early to project about possible consequences.
“In a sense, it’s a bit premature [to discuss possible effects], because we still need to know how it’s going to be implemented,” Sciaroni said, emphasising that American businesses would comply with the law.
Further education about the law needed to take place in both the public and private sectors, Sciaroni added.
Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan reacted to concern that the law was put into effect too quickly by saying those challenges would be met.
“With a commitment from the people and a commitment from the government, we can overcome any inconvenience,” he said. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T10:41:43Z', 'url': 'https://www.phnompenhpost.com/business/informal-payments-rules-cause-stir', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

Yes, I have one. You will need a null modem. If you just want to test it you can just run it as a stand alone unit.
Good luck, they are a great machine.
Sorry Trev, you can use mine if you like :-). Thanks guys, I'll make a null modem cable, it's coming from the US and is untested. I have another question directed at yourself John, do you need the calibration extender to calibrate the programming modules, ie uni or logicpaks? I have read through the manual and there's a procedure for voltage calibration and module dc calibration, is this necessary to calibrate the unipaks also?
I have never had to calibrate mine as programming yields have always been high. I wouldn't worry about it unless you are having problems programming which is directly related to this issue.
I bought mine from the US a while back and work and ther matters overtook me so I haven't played with it as much as I wanted to.
I made the null modem cable and put the unit into remote mode but can't connect to it. I got the null modem pinouts from a leopardcats.com web archive, The baud rate selector on the back of this is cactus but I don't know if i could use someone else in it place, any ideas? What pinouts did you use john?
I'm using this under windows xp with mikes PROMLINK 6.10 xp patched app, the software works fine but can't talk to the programmer. I've played with rhw programmer stand alone mode although i wasn't game to copy anything just let.
Yes with no UniPak etc plugged in, the programmer just beeps. With the UniPak plugged in the programmer should pass the self test.
I have no idea about any rotary dial?
All good mate, it was the cable i used. I got cheap and cut up an old serial cable from the 80s to make my null cable. After a trip to jaycar spending $1.40 on 1m of serial cable I was able to wire up a working cable. I've managed to successfully burn 2 x 2532 eproms for my crazy kong pcb, got 2 bad and waiting for some replacements via epromman.com. The rotary switch is on the back of the Data I/O to select the baud rate. I managed to guess 9600 baud. Thanks for the info, what site is useful, got the manuals from there but it seems to be down and only available via web archinve now. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T14:04:49Z', 'url': 'https://www.aussiearcade.com/archive/index.php/t-14139.html?s=6583261a1139df20a27cc3a9ecbedbb9', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The Firm’s Director & Officer (D&O) Litigation practice has been a mainstay of Munsch Hardt for decades, with senior attorneys providing invaluable advice and counsel to corporations and sophisticated organizations in the midst of challenging disputes with former officers and directors. More specifically, Munsch Hardt focuses on representing trustees and creditors’ committees in actions on behalf of defunct companies against their directors and officers for breaches of fiduciary duties, self-dealing and fraudulent transfers. Our attorneys are well-versed in handling tough issues such as in pari delicto, the Business Judgment Rule and the establishment of gross negligence against the fiduciaries of bankrupt organizations.
While a significant portion of our practice focuses on prosecuting officers and directors, we are also frequently called upon to represent such parties, as well as managing directors, general partners and other fiduciaries in either defense of claims or to provide preventative advice. Regardless of whether the best resolution is to quietly settle out of court or pursue a trial in state or federal court, it is our experience on both sides of the table that enables us to aggressively and successfully represent our clients’ best interests.
Finally, when working with Munsch Hardt, clients benefit from the Firm’s multidisciplinary approach. In addition to our D&O litigators, we also bring to the table a combination of Corporate and Insurance Coverage expertise. Our Corporate & Securities practitioners understand the full range of governance issues, while our Insurance Coverage team understands D&O Insurance policies and can guide claimants in order to maximize recoveries under those policies. Even before we draw on our experience litigating, arbitrating and/or settling coverage disputes, our attorneys will provide in-depth advice related to the coverage available under these policies. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-20T09:01:26Z', 'url': 'https://www.munsch.com/Services/Litigation/Director-Officer-Litigation', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The original KING OF THE KYBER RIFLES was set during World War I. It was a fantasy adventure story inspired by two novels by H. Rider Haggard: SHE (1886) and KING SOLOMON’S MINES (1885). The original Capt King was an officer of British Intelligence. He was chasing German or Turkish enemy agents stirring up rebellion against the British Raj when he blundered into a lost palace in the mountains, piles of diamonds, the perfectly preserved bodies of a Roman general and his lover, and a beautiful Indian queen who rules a horde of savage tribesmen. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-24T04:00:56Z', 'url': 'http://www.classicmoviesontheweb.com/classic-movies-to-watch-free-online/classic-adventure-movies-on-the-web-free/king-of-the-khyber-rifles-1953-tyrone-power/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

The right Mast Camera (Mastcam) of NASA's Curiosity Mars rover provided this view of the lower stratigraphy at "Yellowknife Bay" inside Gale Crater on Mars. The rectangle superimposed on the left image shows the location of the enlarged portion on the right. In the right image, white arrows point to veins (including some under the overhang), and black arrows point to concretions (small spherical concentrations of minerals). Both veins and concretions strongly suggest precipitation of minerals from water.
The scale bar in the left image is 50 centimeters (19.7 inches) long. The scale bar in the right image is 10 centimeters (3.9 inches) long.
Mastcam recorded this view in the morning of the 137th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's surface operations (Dec. 24, 2012). The image has been white-balanced to show what the rocks would look like if they were on Earth. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-18T18:28:48Z', 'url': 'https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA16569', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho has blamed “everybody” for his side’s 1-0 defeat to Basel in the Champions League tonight.
The Red Devils dominated in a goalless first half where Marouane Fellaini and Marcos Rojo hit the woodwork.
But they were shell-shocked at the death as Michael Lang turned home Raoul Petretta cross to spark wild celebrations from the home faithful.
But Mourinho was less than impressed with his side’s inability to guarantee their place in the knockout stages.
United top Group A, but Basel and CSKA Moscow are three points behind, meaning qualification will go down to the final game.
Jose Mourinho blamed his entire team for the defeat to Basel.
We have to blame everyone on the pitch because we had so many chances.
Jose Mourinho speaking after United's defeat to Basel.
The Red Devils must avoid a 6-0 defat against CSKA Moscow to guarantee a place in the last 16.
"We lost because in the first half we should be 5-0 up but we could not score one goal after being so dominant,” Mourinho told BT Sport.
“It looks for many periods in the first half it was impossible not to win.
“I think the majority of the second half the feeling of everyone was OK, it will be 0-0, but they got the late goal.
Mourinho defended Daley Blind (left) from criticism.
"It is not fair for (Daley) Blind to blame himself. He had a very positive game. We have to blame everyone on the pitch because we had so many chances.
"We don't need to win the (final group) match, we don't even need to draw, but obviously we will try to win."
United return to domestic action on Saturday with a home clash against Brighton (3pm).
They will be hoping to close the eight-point gap on league-leaders Manchester City, who travel to Huddersfield on Sunday (4pm).
But Roy Keane insists United can win the Champions League despite faltering against Basel last night.
"The big plus for United is that their form has been that good in the Champions League that they gave themselves room to slip up tonight,” Keane told ITV Sport.
“When United have their strongest team out, they will compete with a lot of the teams in Europe.
“There are five or six players that played tonight that won't be in their strongest team.
“Mourinho is looking at the bigger picture – forget about tonight and move on. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T22:41:27Z', 'url': 'https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/883161/Man-Utd-news-Jose-Mourinho-blames-EVERYBODY-Basel-defeat', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
Having trouble deciding on which entry-level GPU to pick up? Sparkle’s Calibre series might make your decision easier with it’s P850+. In addition to DX10 support and a unique LED-readout, it offers an additional 200MHz on the core and 320MHz on the memory over reference 8500GTs.
When the time comes to purchase a new GPU, there are many names that might come to mind. eVGA, XFX, Sapphire, BFG and so on. But one name not likely to be thought of in North America is Sparkle. You might be surprised to know though, that they’ve been around for quite a while.
Established in 1982 in Taiwan, they are one of the world leaders in manufacturing NVIDIA-based graphic cards, and are most popular in Europe, where their cards can be found for purchase quite easily. Months ago, they decided to to dip their toes into the North American market, and should be slowly leaking their products into our favorite e-tailers in the coming months.
Calibre is a branch of Sparkle that specializes in GPUs for enthusiasts, so when compared to their regular line-up, Calibre’s will always look better, be more powerful and include unique features. Comparing a Calibre 8500GT to a Sparkle 8500GT is like night and day. While Sparkle’s version clocks the card at 450/400MHz (Core/Mem), the Calibre version clocks at 650/720MHz (Core/Mem).
As I have come to find out, Calibre’s version of the card is the highest-pre-overclocked card on the market. Stock 8500GT’s are clocked at 450MHz on the core, but Calibre’s upped that by 200MHz to settle at 650MHz. That’s quite the overclock, and the closest competitor I could find had theirs clocked at 600MHz. How much further can it possibly be pushed? You might just be surprised.
As you can tell by the chart below, this card is not for high-end gaming. Rather, it’s suited for those who want a decent gaming experience without a) spending too much cash and b) don’t want the bare minimum. Since Sparkle’s cards are difficult to find in North America, I have no idea on pricing. However, current prices for 8500GT of this ‘calibre’ average at ~$85USD on these shores.
The packaging is like none other. It’s pure black with a subtle pattern, curved at the edges and opens up at the top. What strikes me though, is that it’s difficult to tell what’s inside… you have to look very close to find model information. It’s found on the side, in very small font.
Included in the box is software, manual, VGA-to-DVI adapter and also a video-out cable.
The 8500GT might not be the most powerful card on the market, but does Sparkle ever have a knack for making it look great. Anything cloaked in a pure black scheme is usually a winner with me. It’s stylish, clean and has flames! Could it get much better than that?
At the back, you can see the two DVI ports as well as the video-out.
What the heck is that LED readout, you ask? I asked the exact same thing, but once installed I found out it’s to read the GPU core temperatures and also for diagnostic purposes if there is a problem. I quickly compared temperatures taken with this readout and also Everest 4.0, and both were identical. It’s bling, really, but it looks cool and serves a purpose.
Lastly, the obligitory shot of the back of the card.
With our look at the physical card out of the way, let’s jump into our testing methodology and then 3D Mark. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T05:26:50Z', 'url': 'https://techgage.com/article/sparkle_calibre_p850_8500gt_512mb/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |

I am so happy this dress finally fits properly. I bought it 4 years ago and first it was too tight, then too loose but now it is just perfect! I styled it with my denim jacket and black mules. I wanted to dress it down for a Friday night dinner date.
How are you guys liking the 70's sunglasses come back? I love it!
Cheery trees bring me happiness! The pink color just makes me smile and they are a great reminder that Spring arrived.
I wore this outfit two weeks ago to a brunch at MT Fuji. If you are in the area, this place is a must see. The food is delicious and the views are amazing. Since I knew I was probably going to eat more than usual, I wore a very comfortable pair of pants, that were gifted to me by Ryan' s mom.
Since that day I have worn them more times, not because I was going to over eat, but because I truly love the comfort lol.
The middle of the week is here friends!!!
As for the shoes, oh man, they are just pretty to look at because my feet were killing me after. I am sure we all have the "just for sitting" shoes in the closet and like me can't seem to part with them. For now they are back in the closet and will probably stay there for a long, long time.
Am I the only one who misses the time between Spring and Summer?
I have these pair of jeans for a long time, and they are one of my favorites. They have traveled with me to Vegas and Paris and they for sure will make the cut for Montreal.
I am so excited about my upcoming travel adventures. One of the many things I love about Ryan, it's how he is always on board with all my ideas. It was no different when I mention Canada.
With that said, any recommendations will be appreciated!
The Spring/Summer finally arrived and I couldn't be more happy. To celebrate I decided to take this oldie, but goodie blazer out for a spin. I have this blazer for over 5 years and it is still one of my favorites. I am a big believer on taking care of the pieces you like, even if they didn't cost a lot of money. I got it for $34 dollars and it is still intact, to me that is winning. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T00:20:34Z', 'url': 'http://www.yaudysstyle.com/2018/05/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} | c4 |
