Great Highland Bagpipes (GHB) are such a special instrument that has been in wars for hundreds of years, up to WWII leading soldiers to the fighting and even in the current fight against ISIS and terrorism, you have pipe bands, who are soldiers first, and musicians second) playing in an active warzone.
The Royal Scots Dragoons Guards album, Spirit of the Glen was the first album recorded in an active war zone (Basra, Iraq) and you can hear that fact on the Flowers of the Forest track. One of my favorite albums and you can feel the emotions of those Cavalrymen in the music. Drum and Bugle has it's place in parade but bagpipes have stood the test of time in battlefields and civilian life. As an avid piper in Tampa Bay, I've played hundreds of events and I have seen a wide range of emotions and talked with those who have served with Scottish battalions with pipe bands, and heard them in wartime. Known many veterans and even an SAS officer who served in WWII and they all agree those pipers are crazy. I think we all have to be to some level as common side effects of the instrument is hearing loss, upper repertory illness (clean your bags guys), and a steady case of empty wallet syndrome.
 Bagpipes are not for everyone, and I always say you either love'em or hate'em. Next time you hear the mournful bellows of the highland bagpipes and a piper in traditional garb, don't pretend to pop the bag or mess with the drones or the kilt, instead give the piper a smile or a head nod and maybe drop a few dollars his or her way. It's a costly instrument to maintain and don't forget the saying, "time to pay the piper!"
 As much as you might not enjoy it, it could be making someone else's day. Also, as St. Patrick's Day comes, you can only play so many Irish tunes on Scottish pipes. And no, we cannot play Free Bird.

Are you thinking about listing your Charleston house? If so, you will likely be making some fixes and upgrades to the home in order to get it listing-ready. But not all repairs are created equal. You don’t want to make expensive repairs that offer little to no return.
The color of the walls can change the whole look and feel of the room. While the consensus says to stick with neutral tones, adding some warmth to a dark and cold feeling room will change the way people feel when they walk in. You want the colors to be warm and inviting. Find a balance between plain and boring and too bold and off-putting. Lately, we’re loving Repose Gray by Sherwin Williams in our houses. Infuse some personality into the color scheme, but remember you want to appeal to a wide audience, not just those who share your color palette. Wallpaper is seeing a comeback, but not everyone is interested in prints on the walls. If you decide to leave wallpaper up, make sure it is a low-key print that isn’t going to dissuade people from enjoying the space.

Joel Forrester has had a fascinating career. He studied piano with Thelonious Monk, scored early Andy Warhol films, wrote the theme for the popular NPR show Fresh Air , accompanied silent films at the Louvre, and spent years as a principal member of the fondly remembered Microscopic Septet..
He’s also been the driving force between one of the liveliest bands in town, People Like Us, a quartet devoted to Forrester’s quirkily intelligent compositions. Ever Wonder Why collects eleven new and not-so-new Forrester tunes, a typically eclectic assortment that highlights his winning mix of erudition and humor. For those familiar with Forrester, it’s no surprise to find a novelty like “Bebop Cowpoke” alongside dedications to Mary Lou Williams and overlooked hard bop alto saxophonist Frank Strozier, as well as an earnest vocal choir reflecting on Sept. 11th.
As a pianist, Forrester is heavily influenced by Monk, along with Monk’s stride and boogie-woogie predecessors. His primary foil is the marvelous baritone saxophonist Claire Daly, who shares his absurdist sensibility as well as his deep knowledge of the jazz vernacular. The fine rhythm section includes Dave Hofstra on bass and Ronnie Williams on drums, filling the chair held by the late, great Denis Charles.
This is serious music played by serious musicians who don’t take themselves too seriously.

A month ago I posted a link to an article about Crème de la Mer, the very expensive skin cream. In response I received two interesting comments from readers who had tried the product. The first was from Chic & Slim reader Donna who had, by chance, received a sample of La Mer a few days before I posted the Nouvelles about it. The second was from our Chic & Slim Special Correspondent Kat, who has more experience with La Mer.
Today Donna's comments. In the next Thursday Nouvelles, I will share Kat's comments — about La Mer and some other creams with which she compares it.
The best news in Donna's email is in the last paragraph. Nothing pleases me more than when Chic & Slim helps a reader to better health and appearance.
The article you posted regarding Cream de la Mer was timely for me. I had just received a free sample of it when I ordered some lipstick from Nordstrom. I tried the cream a few days before your article appeared.
I was impressed with the cream. It has an unusual feel - like a gel but softer and creamier. I loved the fresh scent as well. It was like nothing I've tried before. I wanted to slather it on my neck too but there wasn't enough in the sample Afterward, my skin looked refreshed and healthy. I have no idea what the long-term benefits would be as I am not going to buy it at the price that it is selling for.
I am a style and beauty writer and have tried many products through the years. I think the price of Creme de la Mer is what has caused so many cosmetic houses to increase the price of their anti-aging creams to such extremes. It really irritates me that even the drugstore brands are much more expensive these days.
It also irritates me a little that Estee Lauder, that great behemoth cosmetic company owns it too. They own so many of the companies. But they have also made some of the greatest advances in skincare which they were able to do with the revenue they earn by their takeovers.
I have yet to find a line to be faithful to - I go by price and packaging and then hope I like the texture and scent of the product and lastly, I care about results. I really don't believe there is a fountain of youth in a jar but if Creme de la Mer were not so expensive, I believe I would use that for the other features I liked.
Merci for your comments. And for the 30 pounds weight loss, that's fantastique !

On 2 April 2019, the Fair Work Commission inserted overtime rates for casual employees into the Horticulture Award 2010.
The new requirement for casual employees to be paid overtime penalties will take effect from 15 April 2019. Employers must pay overtime rates under the Horticulture Award 2010 from the first full pay period that starts on or after that date.
all hours worked by a casual employee on a public holiday (both ordinary hours and any overtime) will be paid at a rate of 225% of the employee’s minimum hourly wage for their classification (inclusive of the casual loading).
On 2 April 2019, the Federal Government handed down its 2019-2020 Budget. The Budget includes allocation of funds to a National Labour Hire Registration Scheme and names horticulture as a high risk sector for labour hire. More information about this can be found here.
The Budget also contained some interesting provisions for additional funding for other agriculture related programs.
incentivising HLS providers to place Australian jobseekers into seasonal work.
The Budget also provides $2.9 million over two years to implement a 12-month pilot program to improve small farmers’ access to workers through the existing Seasonal Worker Programme (SWP). The pilot will simplify SWP requirements, making it easier and quicker for labour hire approved employers under the SWP to recruit and move seasonal workers between smaller farms.
This programme includes $1.6 million for the Fair Work Ombudsman to increase education, monitoring and investigation activities relating to SWP employers participating in the pilot.

I write fantasy fiction and maps have always intrigued me and are a key part of my writing process. Just as the story evolves, so do the maps as I continue to build the world and explore new areas. Let me illustrate how this works using the world of Landmoor as an example.
First off, I am not an artist. Sometimes I sketch my maps on my computer and sometimes I sketch it by hand. There needs to be a mix of mountains, forests, valleys, and rivers. There are little stories behind each of the countries and places and how their history fits into the general plot. I like to keep the borders of my worlds rather vague, suggesting that there are places that have not been discovered yet; where the dragons live, so to speak. It gives me flexibility as an author to continue building the world.
When I was writing my novels Landmoor and Silverkin, I was lucky to have a digital artist friend, Reuben Fox, who took my pathetic rendering and transformed it into the lush map you see above. But the maps always start out as black and white in my head or on the page.
Another question I get asked is how I choose all the place names. This is part of the creative process that I really enjoy and I rarely have trouble coming up with new names. I have a notebook where I write down different character and place names when the flashes of inspiration strike and I often consult that list to pick and choose. I also study maps of this world to be inspired by countries, cities, rivers, and mountains that exist today. But in each of my worlds, there are usually a few key locations which are part of the storyline, the pivot around which the plot rotates.
Take Landmoor—for example. When I was first creating that world, the plot centered around a small fortified town near the edge of a swamp and close to the sea—kind of like a medieval New Orleans. That was the first location I crafted in the world. A moor is a swamp. I stuck the name “land” to it and liked how it looked on paper (I was fourteen when I first imagined that story). I’m always combining words and testing out how they fit together. As the plot of the world began to develop, I realized that there were three different political powers struggling for control over the valley between the two mountain ranges. Because the valley has limited ground, it caused military and political tensions between them. Landmoor became a crossroads for this conflict and provided a place where the tensions intersected and flared up. Add a secret magic hidden in the swamps, some powerful sorcerers manipulating the kingdoms, and soon you have a situation ripe with tension and conflict in which to plop the main character, the son of an eminent trading family who longs to escape his social class and explore the kingdoms outside his stifling cultural expectations.
Now, even though maps are so important to me, I’ve often been asked why I didn’t include one in the world of the Muirwood Trilogy. I do have maps of this world and use them for reference, but I did not include any with the novels deliberately. You see, in Landmoor the main character, Thealos, comes from a trading family and he knows the world he grew up in. He’s familiar with the borders and the politics. In Muirwood, the main character is a kitchen servant who only knows the grounds of Muirwood Abbey where she was abandoned as a baby. As she leaves that world, she is completely lost in a vast world full of locations and politics she knows nothing about. Readers explore the world through Lia’s eyes and there is no looking ahead, trying to use the map to predict the plot or where she may end up. In the first book, she explores the land around her beloved Abbey. In the second book, she gets to see more the kingdom she lives in. In the third book, she leaves her kingdom and travels to another. I left the reader blind on purpose.
One of the neatest things about creating a new fantasy world is that I don’t determine everything in advance. I use a general map as a framework for where the action will happen. But often as the characters wander around a bit, I weave in elements from my own personal travels or places I wish to travel someday.
On that map, I discovered delightful details, like the Cider Orchard which played a prominent role in the story. This was the beginning of the world. Then I hunted down an ancient map of Glastonbury and the environment around and that research led to other opportunities for topography, climate, and story ideas. Before I had crafted the first chapters, exploring this map inspired many of the scenes that would later happen.
World-building doesn’t happen all at once. While mine begins with a map and a general understanding of the plot and characters and how they will mesh together, I explore the world with my characters leading the way and invent the things that need to be filled in.

ACH debit services are not really optional in today's business climate. With fierce competition from the Internet, as well as local businesses, any merchant who wants to not only survive but thrive when businesses are vying for consumer dollars must provide all possible customer services. ACH check processing is essential for fast acceptance of customers' checks.
More consumers are becoming aware of the consequences of high credit card charges. Consumer education has emphasized that high personal debt is not only costly financially, but may jeopardize credit ratings and the ability to get loans for important purposes, such as purchase of a home. In this context, consumers are going the debit route more frequently, as proven by the amazing yearly increase in the value of online checks.
Point-of-sale transactions provide an ultra-convenient arrangement for merchants and customers. When a customer writes a check, ACH debit services convert the paper check into an electronic process. The merchant is spared the necessity of making deposits of paper checks, and the customer immediately receives a validated check as a receipt.
Fraud and risk management procedures are inherent in the check processing system, but processing of the check on the spot gives an extra measure of protection against patrons who write a check without sufficient funds, then hope to cover the check later. Even though funds are not actually transferred immediately, just knowing the check will be verified or rejected instantly is a strong deterrent to writing checks that will bounce. ACH debit permits merchants to accept checks with the same assurance they accept credit cards.

Why do you keep writing the same old things?
Fantastic advice! I’ve always associated being stuck in a rut as being bored of writing and blogging, so I go to other hobbies but I haven’t considered pushing myself as a writer.
It’s definitely a possible factor. :) I’m all for switching to something else to give your brain a rest, but when you’ve been struggling to write for awhile, it’s something to consider. I like to believe there’s always something in the back of our minds we’re itching to create, but there’s always something stopping us from taking that leap and doing it.

By the way, in no manner do I imply that our great ancestors were some pastoral oafs. Indeed they were ahead of their times, inquisitive and used science as a tool. Anyone who has ever visited any Indus Valley Civilization’s ruin — even excepting Harappa & Mohenjo Daro (because they are far too superlative to not impress) — would immediately realise the scientific temperament of the ancient Indians, the town planning, the right-angled streets, the sewer system, the trade mechanism, etc. do provide a glimpse into the scientific past.
And yes there are many epigraphical evidences that can make any scientific Indian’s heart swell with pride, be it Aryabhatta’s mathematical work, from where we had the zero and decimal system, or even the precise value of the Π (Pie). It was the genius Aryabhata who claimed that earth was a planet rotating around the sun, something which even the oh-so ‘scientific’ Puranas seem to have missed, placing Earth at the centre of the creation. Then there is another mathematician Bhaskaracharya, who provided the principles of differential calculus and its application to astronomical problems and computations as back as 12th Century in his book Siddhanta-Shiromani. Coming to medicine, while Shiva replacing Daksha’s head with that of a goat, or grafting an elephant head on Ganesha is not a proof of surgery, Sushruta’s treatise surely is, which even spells out the procedure of cataract surgery. There are also other treatises on medical sciences say by Charaka and Jivika, who have provided detailed exposition on various maladies and how to treat them. If that is not enough to astonish you, we have Kannada who founded the philosophical school of Vaisheshika and authored the text Vaisheshika Sutra. His biggest contribution to science was his concept of ‘anu’ or molecule that was the base of everything. He postulated this molecular theory way back in 6th Century ACE, much ahead of anyone. And not only such high-brow scientific texts, you had a range of scholarly work across spectrum, Kautilya’s Arthasashtra a work on political governance is still much relevant. Even on the literary front you have plenty, there’s Panini for Sanskrit grammar, Yaskacharya on etymology of Rig Vedic words and so on.
So to be frank, there is just no paucity of scholarly and scientific work in ancient India, one just has to dig a bit deeper, look beyond the obvious, do a bit of research. There is a vast body of scriptures to refer to, there are the Angas are six in number: Science of morals and duties, Grammar, Philology, Music and Astronomy. Upangas (again six): Purva Mimansa, Vaisheshika, Niyama, Yoga, Sankhya and Vedanta. Brahmanas are four in number: Aitreya, Shatapatha, Sama and Gopatha. All of them present detailed study in each subject.
In the end, the distinction between what is science and what is not is very elementary and necessary. And if you err on that, and go about searching for science where it is not meant to be. Thus as, unlike, what a respected MP from India said in parliament recently, ancient astrology that predicts future based on astral movements is not a science, but ancient astronomy that tracked the movement of ancient bodies certainly is.
What set Indians apart in the ancient times was the quest for knowledge, the persistence of doubt, the pursuit of learning. Which is immediately obvious in the Nasadiya Sukta, questioning the very basics, doubting the very core, not accepting anything on face value.
We need to rekindle that spirit, regain that trait, renew the zeal, the quest for answers. We need to be that Doubting Thomas’s again, that perennial argumentative race that was never short of why, how and what. So, next time anyone quotes a myth to prove a point, say a Ganesh-surgery story, or a Brahmastra-nuclear one, stop him or her in the track, and ask “Are you really sure, and pray where did you read it”?
There is this beautiful small prayer in the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad (I.iii.28) that kind of encapsulates that spirit. It begins with the moving words, Asato Ma Sadgamaya, or could be translated as ‘lead me from the materialism to immortality’. The prayer is also an admission on the sense of limitedness of mindset, and knowledge, and seeks light through true knowledge. It is this that we need to turn to, knowledge that liberates our pride and spirit, not merely air that swells the heart with pride. Om Shantih! Shantih! Shantih!

On a very rare occasion, Naming/Webtop request fails throwing exception.
This is similar to OPENAM-5632, but the fix be in ServerConfiguration class as well since this class extends ConfigurationBase.
When the datastore notification is enabled with the following, listeners such as NamingService, AuthConfigMonitor, LogConfigReader, ServiceConfigImpl etc will be registered to ServiceConfigSchemaManagerImpl either during server startup or when services are first accessed.
If EventService(monitor which checks availability and modification of datastore) receives ldap error 80, 81 or 90, then it will trigger RetryTask to notify SMSNotificationManager to clear cache.
On a very rare occasion when NamingService request was received while service schema cache is being cleared, OpenAM will get “null” list. And this leads to naming table to have no server information.
OpenAM will recover from this error eventually by itself when naming table is updated and retrieved correct information.

God’s love is for everyone. No exceptions.
We can see that in the text over and over again, but we still forget it.
We cling to the need to accept Christ - or the need to behave a certain way. We cling to rules and guidelines and what makes us feel most comfortable.
But Peter’s report to the church speaks to the capacity for God to love people no matter what their background may be.
Does your worship community welcome everyone? How can you be sure you stay welcoming to all?

After viewing the eulogy for Reverend Celementa Pinckney, by President Obama, we had an idea. There are many public domain spiritually inspired speeches deliverer by our nation’s presidents, which are currently unavailable on web streaming and audio services. So, we here at Heaven Sent Gaming will be highlighting these speeches in our new series Spiritual Speeches. They will be professionally remastered by our team, and will also have highlights of the speech available as separate tracks.
The first album of this series is Spiritual Speeches: President Obama Eulogizes Reverend Clementa Pinckney, and it will include Obama singing “Amazing Grace” as its separate track. Mario was the one behind this remastering process, which mostly involved minimal volume leveling and EQ. We hope you enjoy this first release, and we hope to make the future releases even better. Mario is a libertarian, and pro-gun advocate; no political-charged message is intended, the only intention is the glorification of God. The album is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play, and more.

MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho could still snare Real Madrid star Gareth Bale this summer.
At least that’s the verdict of beIN Sports journalist Richard Keys, who thinks the potential deal won’t be dead until the transfer window shuts on August 31.
Bale has spent the past four years with Real and during that spell he’s won the Champions League three times, as well as one La Liga title.
His future has been the subject of much speculation since the end of last season though with Florentino Perez targeting Kylian Mbappe.
Bale is thought to be the player Real would be most likely to sacrifice in order to generate funds to sign the Monaco forward.
And that situation has seen the 28-year-old heavily linked with a return to the Premier League with United.
Mourinho claimed he had no chance of signing Bale after he featured in Real’s UEFA Super Cup win over the Red Devils.
Keys reckons the Welshman could rock up at Old Trafford before deadline day though.
On Twitter, a fan asked him: "Hi Richard, still think there is legs in the Bale to United deal?"
And Keys replied: "Until the window shuts I do."
Should United bag Bale, he’s likely to cost more than the then-world-record £85m which took him to Real from Tottenham in 2013.
In the meantime, Mourinho's men will be out to make it two wins in two Premier League games when they visit Swansea on Saturday.
They got their 2017/18 campaign off to a perfect start by thrashing West Ham 4-0 last weekend, with new boy Romelu Lukaku bagging a brace.

Here's our shortlist for IT support people. We'd suggest you speak to all of them and see who seems to be the best fit for you. But basically if we were looking for someone, this would be our shortlist. They've all done work for us and/or our clients and received good feedback.
Zoran has worked for a couple of our bigger clients for many years in network/IT Support. He has a long experience in top end corporate IT support. However he also does work well with smaller and even home based clients. He is very experienced and throrough and keeps long relationships with clients.
Darren is highly recommended by an IT guru, Peter, that we know very well. Peter has been in Windows support and top-end warehouse software for many decades but is now not taking on new clients. Darren is the guy he chose to replace him while he was away in Europe. We take that as a pretty big tick. We also know Darren through our local business network. Every one of our clients that he's worked with have been very happy.
We use Patrick for high-end web programming and troubleshooting, he is also very experienced in Windows support. We've found him to be a good guy and very quick and a good troubleshooter (He is often flat out though as he is in high demand).

Private firm Building Craftsmen, owned by Queen of the South boss Billy Hewitson, is set to submit an application to the Scottish Government for help in funding the refurbishment of Devorgilla House on George Street.
A former Dumfries hostel that’s been lying empty for four years could be transformed into homes for young people.
Private development company Building Craftsmen (Dumfries) Ltd is set to submit an application to the Scottish Government for help in funding the refurbishment of Devorgilla House on George Street.
Building Craftsmen could receive 33 per cent of the total cost of the project if it gets the go-ahead.
The council’s housing sub committee will be told next Tuesday that as well as planning to convert the former hostel into a mix of one and two bedroom flats suitable for first time buyers or younger households, another project in the pipeline is the construction of 14 three bedroom family homes at a site on Annan Road.
The projects form part of the council’s Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) which aims to deliver over 840 new homes in the region until 2021.
Building Craftsmen (Dumfries) Ltd wants the council’s support to apply to the Scottish Government’s Partnership Support for Regeneration, which is a new fund introduced last September to assist private developers and promote broader, more balanced communities through a variety of housing options.
Mr Hewitson added: “Hopefully it will get the backing of the council and can eventually be converted via the Scottish Government grant scheme.

How served: 330ml capped bottle poured into an Oerbier glass.
Tasted on: Wednesday December 09, 2009.
Note: This is a 2005 Vintage. This beer held up very nicely, in fact I think it improved a little with age. As you can see there was still a lot of carbonation left in this on. The head you see in the glass was from a slow and careful pour. This beer is made by one of my favorite Breweries. Not only do I love their beers, but I think the art works on their labels are great. In fact I like this brewery so much I made a beer travel company just to visit their brewery. Next October I have very limited number spaces for VIP guests to travel with me through Belgium on a Beercation of a lifetime. Check out Bon Beer Voyage for more information.
From their website: Stille Nacht (Silent Night) is a prestige beer from De Dolle Brouwers, brewed for Christmas. It has the highest density of any Belgian beer (27°Pl). It has been boiling for many hours, brewed with pale malt with white candy sugar in the kettle. The Nugget hops gives an extra bitterness to balance the extreme sweetness due to the density. The taste triangle is completed with some acidity of the fermentation. It is a very interesting beer to age. We have samples of every bottling we have done so far and aging hasn’t decreased the quality of this beer. Keep some samples at 10°C and mark the year on the cap with an alcohol marker. Cheers!!
This is the 14th of my daily Christmas/Winter beers which I will be having until Christmas. There are now only 15 more beers until Christmas!

Despite the success of of Bank Transfer Day, the vast majority of account holders still choose to remain with their current financial institution. A 2014 consumer banking survey reported that 60% of consumers had no plans to move their accounts within the next year. The primary reason? It's too hard. Switching is perceived as a painful process, one most would rather push off. But the decision to stay put could cost you in terms of numerous fees and higher interest rates.
The good news is that there are windows of opportunity- times in your life when the universal forces for change are perfectly aligned.
Sure, when you were running from class to class, having their ATMs right there on campus was great. Now that you're no longer there, does it matter any longer?
2. You get your first (or a new) job.
And on your first day, the human resources department gives you lots of forms to complete. Chances are pretty high that one of those forms will be a direct deposit enrollment form. It's a signal to open a new account and press the re-set button on your banking relationship.
3. You get married (or divorced).
A change in your marital status precipitates a change in your financial status. Regardless of whether you'll be looking for a new joint or single account, the operative word is new. Seize the chance to partner with a different financial institution.
Of course, you don't have to wait around for one of these milestones to happen.
More fees and poor customer service are reasons why you should make a clean break. If you're worried about embarking on a long and onerous process, consider moving over to USALLIANCE where switching is now hassle-free. Our new tool creates a secure, easy, and free path for members to consolidate accounts from other institutions to one at USALLIANCE.

A “Black Lives Matter” billboard is up in downtown Fargo where an “All Lives Matter” billboard previously appeared.
The new billboard is funded by dozens of contributions, including from Moorhead Mayor Del Rae Williams, to an online fundraiser organized by burlesque performer Anytime Jones.
An “All Lives Matter” billboard popped up in downtown Fargo before the “Black Lives Matter” billboard.
2 Comments on "“Black Lives Matter” Billboard Goes up in Fargo"
I lived in Fargo decades ago …. am amazed and pleased this is happening. Maybe there is hope.
With so much racism and bigotry attached to the hate speak by the president elect and with the water Protectors at Standing Rock. I feel like America has reverted to 1963 Mississippi. I love the billboard. I really doubt my fellow North Dakotans do. I lost my connection with people. I have nothing in common with the people around me anymore. They elected Simon Legree president. I fear for the marginalized. it will not be good for them.

Her name is Melissa Simpson and “random.rationale” is the name of her game. At an age of twenty-two years old, she is attending the University of Idaho and nearing the graduation date pretty darn quickly. Melissa is looking to receive a degree in graphic design. She likes skiing, baking homemade bread and taking bubble baths (interesting combination). Most importantly she is also into Space Ghost. This is definitely a really good start.
Her weblog looks sharp and effective, pleasing mix of colors, splitting the white canvas of the page in two with all elements shifted to the left, interesting and clear with a harmonic use of colors. There is even a small picture of her at the top of each page, making the weblog just that much more personal. This is not one of those flashy weblogs that seem to be infecting the Internet lately. It is sweet and simple, and it works.
While she has experience in graphic design for multimedia and more traditional themes, this talent is not reflected very well in her weblog. This is a shame as her portfolio of earlier web designs is pretty good. As a busy student, I can understand her main concern is covering the content of the entries, which is good enough. All energy into that fancy graphical stuff is more than likely being used up in busy classes and exams.
This is all right, but do not expect more. It is not philosophy, nor does it provide deep analysis of recent events. Except for her big toe, that is. In the “toe saga continues” we are shown a close-up picture of big toe after stubbing it on an iron lying on the floor. Okay, it is purple and obviously throbbing from the pain. Is this personal or what?
There are alot of other links leading outside of her weblog, and one is tempted to look around the rest of her homepage. Indeed, there is lots of other interesting stuff on her site. But since it is beyond the scope of this review that by definition must be limited to the weblog, I will only mention them here, that they accent her weblog well.

No one should ever be abused, but anyone can be. It happens all the time. Domestic violence is something that can happen to anyone you know including your friend, relative, co-worker, and more.
Often victims hide the evidence of their abuse. They are ashamed and fearful of people knowing that they are weak. Most victims do not even report their abuse, so that’s why it is essential to understand the signs and report it if you see them.
There are patterns to domestic abuse that are important to understanding to help you identify it. Know these signs and patterns so that you can help others if you see them.
Often abusers threaten or intimidate their victims. They use verbal insults to humiliate and control them. They may threaten to take away the children, suicide, or violent actions and say it is all their fault.
It is essential to the abuser to feel all powerful and that they have complete control. This leads to controlling behavior over the victim’s life.
Having high levels of stress can make patterns worse. Recovering from injuries, job troubles, or trying to come back to society from war can be hard.
The frequent relocations that have to happen because of military deployment etc. can also stress spouses out.
Having to rely on spouses for income or support can also make people more likely to report domestic violence.
You can help in quite a few ways. You can show your concern and offer support and resources to people. It’s crucial that the victim understands the process of getting help and how to get away from them. Be sure to call 911 if you think there is an immediate threat to them.

Men of God are men of substance.
Men of God that have the Word rooted in them are men of substance, because that Word is the Bread of life , that Word is the living Word, and that living Word is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the root, and cause of our success.
With Jesus we are alive, without Jesus we are nothing but dead men walking.
With Jesus we are a somebody, without Jesus we are a nobody.
How could Ahimelech the priest be afraid of a young man like David?
After all, it must’ve been very rare for a priest to tremble at the sight of a young man.
Priests in those days were of much importance, in fact they carried much power and influence.
So why was Ahimelech afraid when he met David?
David always knew who he was.
He was a young and humble shepherd boy, but he was never meek nor was he timid.
David being a shepherd boy never stopped him from knowing who he was in God.
That is why you must never allow your current situation to dictate your potential destination.
David knew his God, therefore he always knew the power, dominion, and authority that he had.
Men of substance are as bold as a lion, and they are as humble as a lamb.
Was this not young David a shepherd boy, when did he begin speaking to a priest with so much authority, and power?
I’ll tell you when it all began, it all began by David always knowing who he was in God, and he knew exactly who his God was and is.
first faced the lion and the bear.
You just need to understand, and know who you are in Christ.
Men of substance show themselves approved by their works of faith.
We all know faith without works is dead.
David needed to prove himself to king Saul, there needed to be evidence that he was more than a conqueror, and he had that.
David proved that he had faith strong enough to move mountains.
David proved that he had the credentials to defeat the enemy, and he did.
Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.
Men of substance are about their Father’s business.
When a man is about his Father’s business then he is favoured in whatsoever he does, and it really does not matter about his credentials or his past experiences, all that matters is his personal walk with the Lord.
A man of substance is favoured by God and men.
That is why even a priest trembles in the presence of such a young man like David.
A man of substance is a man of faith, and his faith cannot be defeated.
A defeated man, is a man that lacks faith.
For you are more than what your current situation dictates.
King Saul later grew jealous of David, and jealousy is nothing but fear.
So Saul eyed David from that day forward.
When God chooses you amongst the few the eye of the enemy is on you, but the Hand of God is upon you.
Therefore no weapon fashioned or formed against you shall ever prosper.
When God’s Hand is upon you, then He shall surely see you through.
The enemy fears those that are on fire for the Lord, never lose your fire.
King Saul sought to destroy David but The Lord favoured him, and Saul continued to fail.
When God says yes no man can say no.
King Saul tried to throw David in the deep end, by giving him something that he believed would be too difficult for him to handle, but the Lord God Almighty favoured him.
When you are in God’s perfect will He will empower you with wisdom.
King Saul grew jealous, he was afraid of David and so he appointed him as captain.
Can you see how foolish the enemy is?
When the enemy is afraid of you he will challenge you, and that challenge will propel you into greatness!
When we are way out of our depth we often fail to activate our faith, and realise that we are in a place of promotion.
The enemy will try and test you but the Lord will prove that you are true, and He will promote you.
King Saul was foolish he tried to intimidate David, but David knew who he was, he knew the good thing that God had said concerning him, so now David was a captain in the presence of the priest and that is what made the priest tremble.
Favour changed the countenance of David, and favour is what caused the enemy to pursue David but the enemy always failed.
David was brought before great men and women at a young age, and he was appointed as captain something that king Saul never believed he would be able to do it, but the Lord equipped him to do it.
When you are in the perfect will of God when he has chosen you then he shall surely equip you in whatsoever you do.
Men of substance are unique, they are set apart, and consecrated.
I pray for a generation of young men that we rise up and serve the Lord in spirit and truth.
These men kept themselves away from the temptations, lusts, and devices of satan in order to be used as vessels for the Lord.
Young man of God I want to ask you, have you really received the Bread of life?
The Bread of life eradicates everything from you that is not of Him.
Are you really willing to be used as a vessel by God, or do you simply just want to be like everyone else?
Men of substance are anointed, and the anointing requires resistance.
You must resist and overcome the works of satan.
Jesus is the Bread of Life, and He is holy.
To be set apart you must first let go of yourself, you must die to self and receive Him.
You must desire purity, and allow the Lord to create in you a clean heart and to renew a right Spirit within you.
Without purity we have no power.
Repent, only when you turn away from the things that do not please God will you become the righteousness of God.
Remember many are called but only few are chosen.
David a young man of God was set apart, and young men followed him.
Young man of God influence and empower a generation in the ways of The Lord.
For the Priest to give David the Holy Bread, and for David to receive it was a prophetic act, also bear in mind that Jesus was a descendant of David.
The Lord shall remember you, and His best shall never be kept from you.
So they all ate and were filled.
Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.
Those who eat of His Body, (The Bread of Life) will be filled with His Spirit.
The twelve baskets of fish and fragments, prophetically represents the twelve disciples who were followers of Jesus, but they were divided, fragmented, and broken.
Until The Lord shed His Blood and broke His body for them, later filling them with His Spirit which united them, set them free, and made them whole.
They later became fishers of men.
Not only did they become fishers of men but also the church, the body of Christ which we now are.
We have become one body in Christ.
Thank You Lord for this deep prophetic revelation.
The Word of God indeed speaks mysteries, that are unfathomable unto man.
His Word is Truth, and is sharper than any two edged sword!
There is no one like the Bread of Life.
Many things He done on earth.
You are The Living Word.
God with us the living Truth.
These are the characteristics of a man of substance, a man of substance is a carrier of The Bread of Life.
He desires holiness, purity, and Truth.
He is humble, but he is a man of faith, and is more than a conqueror.
He is a great leader, and influences others to also become great leaders.
Most importantly, he knows who he is because He knows who His God is.
Brethren, do not be afraid for the Lord is with you.
The Lord shall lead and guide your steps.
The Lord shall empower you for greatness, He shall empower you to do exploits.
The Lord shall favour you, and equip you with wisdom.
Receive Holiness, receive Power, receive the Anointing.
Receive The Bread of Life.

PARIS • American artist Jeff Koons is finding it hard to get Paris to accept his gift.
A site for a controversial art installation and memorial to the victims of the 2015 terrorist attacks in the French capital - that claimed 130 lives - has still not been found, the culture ministry said on Monday.
The brightly coloured, 10m-tall Bouquet Of Tulips, a work of bronze, stainless steel and aluminium that weighs 35 tonnes, has been the subject of tension for months.
The culture ministry confirmed that no decision had been made after a meeting with Paris city officials and the artist's representatives.
But Culture Minister Francoise Nyssen told the Figaro newspaper on Monday that "we will offer him another place".
The tulips should be erected somewhere "popular, visible and shared by everyone", she added.
A park in the north of Paris has been tipped as a possible alternative, according to a source from the park's management.
A person familiar with the discussion said Koons' representatives were not happy to learn through the media that the Palais de Tokyo had been ruled out.
In January, artists, gallery owners and officials, including former culture minister Frederic Mitterrand, signed an open letter objecting to the planned memorial.
The letter described Koons as an "emblem of industrial art which is spectacular and speculative" and slammed the cost of installing the sculpture.
"We appreciate gifts, but free ones," they wrote.

Childhood. A Gift Open to All.
I forgot to grow up. I never intended to grow up and I doubt that I ever will truly grow up. I just don’t see any reason to throw away the joy and excitement that childhood brings. I have completed so many of the grownup expectations. I graduated from college. I received a master’s degree (although I am not certain that I really used it). I had a career. In fact, I have had two very different careers. I married and I am still married after almost 40 years. We had two children. We are looking forward to grandchildren. We have bought two houses. In addition, we have a farm that is lots of fun and lots of work. I am just in charge of the meeting and greeting duties and occasional cooking. I highly doubt that anyone will every ask me to fix a tractor or cut down a tree. The repair costs after my attempts would be prohibitive.
So…I have accomplished a few grown up type items except for the farm repairs. When at the farm, I like to ride four-wheelers (once I have figured out how to get on them). It is so exhilarating to ride up and down the trails through the woods. I am not the fastest rider in Texas as my family reminds me so often. I am afraid for the four-wheeler to lean to the right or lean to the left. A slight lean and I scream. That is part of the fun.
I also have the infamous golf cart that we also ride on the trails. In golf cart circles, I am sure that riding on rough trails is a monumental no-no. However, I am enticed by the idea that I can take three other brave people with me. I always tell my passengers not to worry about wild animal attacks. I have a large hammer for protection. Ha! Ha! They think that I am joking. The hammer is it…really. There are just possibilities of seeing gigantic wild hogs, fox, coyotes, mountain lions (I may have dreamed that one up!), rampaging deer (I would not use the hammer on Bambi), alligators near the creek, and sometimes there might be snakes. Remember, there are rattlesnakes in Texas! Overall, it is a fun and bumpy ride. I have only gotten stuck once and that just lasted two hours at the most. Nothing to be concerned about. Being stuck in mud will eventually be a good memory.
My other childhood memory that I still hold dear are dolls. I love dolls of all sizes, of all shapes. If I see a Madam Alexander doll at an Estate Sale or a Garage Sale, I go almost totally crazy trying to be the first person to pick it up. Don’t get in my way at that time. Danger! I always had Madam Alexander dolls as a child and I do think that they are really beautiful. I still have my dolls and their blue boxes. Some are little dolls and a few are large dolls. I started getting these dolls for our daughter and she just was not impressed. Some people are just not doll people. She cut the hair very short on one Madame Alexander doll. I was completely shocked, but the short hair did look rather cute.
And then…Barbie came along. I did not think that she was cute…what with all those curves and all. She was just a little grown up for me. But, she had some outstanding clothes. Would you believe that I have all of my original Barbies and most all of her clothes? What a total pack-rat. Now that I have recently seen the price of those original Barbie clothes, I might lose the pack-rat title. Maybe I will be called the genius Barbie collector and I didn’t even know that I was a collector.
After Barbie, along came the best doll ever (in my mind)…the American Girl Doll! I was just mesmerized by them immediately. The details on the clothes, the history lessons, the books, the accessories…how could the doll world ever improve on the American Girl Doll? When they first came out, our daughter was about ten years old or so. She was actually just about beyond the doll age and didn’t care for them anyway. But…I had an excuse to get one! I eventually purchased three and the clothes and the accessories. They are worth A LOT now. I am hiding them from my family. They seem to think we could buy a ski boat with the profits. Well…that is a thought!
Ski boats are grown up toys, aren’t they? That might fit in with my mind set. A boat for one of those large lakes in the Ozarks would be very cool indeed. I may need to check out the situation. My main point of this rambling blog is to let you know that you don’t have to totally grow up. What you really liked as a child is what you probably really like today. See if you can make the connection. You just might have an even happier life! Bringing back part of your childhood can be an incredible gift to yourself. Do not be the least bit nervous…finding yourself is truly a joy!
← Turn out the lights in room #119.
Lately, I have been spending several hours a week in antique stores. As I have said in recent posts, I am mesmerized by vintage magazines these days. Naturally, I am also drawn to the vintage toys…especially riding toys and dolls. It is my hope that we all can remember things from our childhood that made us happy! Try to make the connection and you may learn something very important about yourself! Who you are and who you will be are traits that develop early! Do not be the least bit nervous…finding yourself is truly a joy!

The French deputy ambassador to Mosow has been summoned following the arrest of Suleiman Kerimov in Nice. The Russian oligarch and senator is accused of tax evasion.
The Russian Foreign Ministry's press service told the Agence France Presse (AFP) news agency on Monday that senior French diplomat Paul-Bertrand Barets had been summoned for a consultation.
The Kremlin meanwhile added it would spare no effort to defend the rights of Suleiman Kerimov, a Russian businessman and lawmaker who was arrested at Nice Cote D'Azur International Airport in connection with a French tax evasion case.
"We will do everything in our power to protect his lawful interests," President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "The senator status and the fact that he is a Russian citizen is a guarantee that we will, of course, put in all possible efforts to defend his lawful interests," Peskov added.
Meanwhile a French public prosecutor said that the 51-year-old billionaire would be presented to a judge with a view to formally being placed under judicial investigation - a decision that oftens results in trial under French law.
Shares in Russia's biggest gold producer, Polyus, which is controlled by Kerimov's family, fell by more than 2 percent following the news of Kerimov's detention.
According to a French judicial source, Kerimov is accused of tax evasion by purchasing several luxury residences on the French Riviera using shell companies - something that would have enabled Kerimov to reduce taxes owed to the French state.
Russia's state-run Rossiya 24 TV station reported that Kerimov had denied any guilt.
Meanwhile in Russia's lower house of parliament, lawmaker Rizvan Kurbanov said there was no information on why Kerimov was being held, asking the Russian foreign ministry to intervene with French authorities on the oligarch's behalf.
"We have still not received from the French authorities any explanation of the reasons for the detention of our colleague," Kurbanov told parliament.
"All this testifies to an unprecedented demarche by the French," he said, adding that he hoped the Russian foreign ministry would issue a formal protest.
Hailing from Russia's mainly Muslim southern Dagestan Republic, Kerimov built an empire dealing in natural resources.
Kerimov's fortune peaked at $17.5 billion (€15 billion) in 2008 before slumping to $3 billion the next year, according to Forbes magazine, due to so-called margin-calls on his assets triggered by the 2008 global financial crisis. Forbes still ranks Kerimov as Russia's 21st richest businessman with a current fortune of $6.6 billion.
Earlier this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree giving Kerimov the state award "For Services to the Fatherland, second class" for his contribution to Russian parliamentary life.
Suleiman Kerimov has represented Dagestan as a senator in the upper house of Russia's parliament since 2008.

After a three-year hiatus, Disclosure returned this Spring with news of a new album project in the works. 'Moonlight' is the latest release from the forthcoming record, which has yet to be named.
'Moonlight' samples the Swedish a capella group The Real Group's 'When I Fall In Love' cover, and follows comeback single 'Ultimatum' featuring Fatoumata Diawara. They have also released another song entitled 'Where Angels Fear To Tread'.
Their next album will be their third, and the follow-up to 2015's chart-topping 'Caracal'. And while we don't know much about it save for their new singles, it is set to hit shelves in June 2019.


text: Pyrochlore-type oxides (A2B2O7) and glass-ceramic composites have been investigated for nuclear waste sequestration applications due to the remarkable compositional diversity and structural flexibility of these materials. These properties can enhance the incorporation of radioactive waste elements and resistance to radiation induced structural damage. Radiation induced structural damage can be simulated by bombarding materials using high-energy heavy ions. The study has shown how the metal-oxygen bond covalency, cationic radii ratio (rA/rB), and oxygen vacancies of pyrochlore type oxides affect the resistance of these materials to radiation induced damage. RE2Ti2O7 (RE=La–Lu), Yb1.85Ca0.15Ti2O7-δ, Yb2Ti1.85Fe0.15O7-δ, and Gd2Ti2-xSnxO7 were synthesized by the ceramic method and investigated by X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), which allows for the study of the effect of elemental substitution on the electronic structure of materials. Surface sensitive glancing angle and total electron yield XANES (GA/TEY XANES) spectra have been used to study the damaged surface of the materials, as the high energy ions can only implant in the near-surface region (~ 450 nm) of the pellets. These measurements have allowed for an investigation of how the local structure of the materials changed after ion implantation and discussed in terms of coordination number and bonding environment. After investigating the ceramic materials, the glass-ceramic composite materials containing Gd2Ti2O7 pyrochlore type crystallites in a (borosilicate- and Fe-Al-borosilicate) glass were investigated. These glass-ceramic materials were synthesized and analyzed by backscattered electron (BSE) images and XANES spectra. The study has shown how the Gd2Ti2O7 crystallites interact within a glass matrix depending on glass composition, pyrochlore loading, and annealing temperature. Further, the GA-XANES spectra from these materials have shown that the glass ceramic composite materials show a similar response to ion implantation as pure ceramics (i.e., Gd2Ti2O7). All of these studies and techniques could provide a better understanding of how to develop and design materials for nuclear waste sequestration applications.

And yet again VIVA have decided to repeat South Park. At least this time we were spared it starting from Season 1, instead it's season 3!. UN-f'ing-Believale!
Repeats... In the same night?
Why on earth is viva playing the same episodes on the same night. It is literally showing the fish sticks episode 3 times in a row and then margaritaville 3 times. Il be avoiding this channel in the future.
If you think South Park is supposed to be funny because of "swearing" or worse yet toilet humour then you really should go and watch 2 Broke Girls because you're part of the Lowest Common Dominator. South Park is a satire on political, social and topical issues as well as a commentary on fads and trends. It uses black comedy with a satirical edge or creates a surreal story that reflects what is going on in news and politics.
AGAIN with the repeats? This is so frustrating they get to season 12 and then go back to season 6? I HATE VIVA. Not showing that "Trapped in the Cloest" episode was a really really weak thing to do, complete cowards! Horrible channel, almost as bad as "Really".
A crap program for 14 year olds who thinking swearing is funny.
I can't believe they are starting it from Season 1 AGAIN! This is about the 4th time that i know of.

Security experts have warned that hackers from the Middle East are travelling to Eastern Europe to learn their trade from cyber-criminals there, before launching their own attacks on a variety of targets.
US-based darknet intelligence provider Norse detailed in a blog post several cases it has uncovered to support this theory.
The first describes the exchange of exploit and target data between the Iran-based Ashiyane Digital Security Team (ADST) and Romania’s largest hacker community, the Romanian Security Team (RST).
Another case involves a suspected member of the Middle East Cyber Army (MECA), who is thought to have attacked over 3,500 sites and was finally captured by the Bulgarian authorities in July.
The 21-year-old Syrian hacktivist is thought to have been studying in the country at the time of the attacks, although it isn’t clear who trained him.
Norse warned that hackers from the Middle East would continue to develop their skills thanks to help from counterparts in Europe.
“As their numbers, interests and skills grow, the dangers also increase the likelihood of a natural evolution from website defacement and Denial of Service (DoS) activities to truly worrisome cyber-terrorism activities capable of destroying infrastructure and putting real lives at risk,” it added.
Cyber-criminals from the Middle East are gaining an increasingly fearsome reputation, ranging from the headline-grabbing hacktivism of the Syrian Electronic Army to the serious state-sponsored campaigns backed by Iran and others.
Threat intelligence firm Cylance even described Iran as “the new China” in a report last December which revealed the existence of Operation Cleaver, a new information-stealing APT campaign targeting multiple industries in 16 countries.

An ingrown toenail occurs when one side at the top of a nail turns under and cuts into the skin that surrounds it, causing the area to become very sensitive to pressure from a shoe. The nail of the big toe is the one affected most often. If untreated, the tissue around the ingrown nail becomes swollen and inflamed. Continued pressure may also cause small, painful corns to develop in the groove of the nail. An ingrown toenail is usually the result of cutting the nail on a curve instead of straight across, or cutting it too short. Shoes that are too short or narrow can also contribute to the problem. Other precipitating factors include a foot injury or faulty foot structure that leads to an uneven distribution of body weight.
A fungal infection can cause misshapen and ingrown nails.
Ordinarily, an ingrown nail is immediately obvious and does not require any other diagnostic procedure. If there are complications, such as an abnormal gait, X-rays of the foot may be ordered.
When circulation is poor due to diabetes or some other chronic condition, it is important that an ingrown toenail be treated by a podiatrist or a medical doctor who specializes in foot disorders, especially if there are signs of infection. If the area is badly infected, an antibiotic should be administered. In severe cases, a portion of toenail may require surgical removal. This can be done as an outpatient procedure by a podiatrist or a general surgeon. The doctor first numbs the area with a local anesthetic, then removes the part of the nail that has grown inward. If some surrounding soft tissue has to be cut away, a few stitches may be necessary. If infection is severe, it is sometimes advisable to remove the nail itself and the matrix from which it grows. This is accomplished by making a small incision at the base of each side of the toenail. The flap of skin is pulled back so that the matrix is exposed.
The entire nail is removed and the matrix is destroyed by cauterizing (burning) it, or by applying an acid solution that disintegrates it. (If the matrix is not completely destroyed, the nail may grow back in the same distorted way. Once a matrix has been fully removed, the nail will never grow back.) After destroying the matrix, the doctor then reattaches the skin flap to the surrounding tissue with small stitches. Following this operation, the toe is wrapped in a soft dressing, and the patient wears a surgical shoe or uses crutches until the foot can bear full weight. Oral antibiotics are usually given, and medicated toe soaks may be advised. Two days after the operation, the toe is examined to check on healing. Stitches are removed in a week.
Healing progresses more quickly if the patient keeps the foot elevated whenever possible. The toe should be healed completely in six weeks. Sometimes laser surgery is an acceptable alternative, but its merits are open to debate. Proponents claim that laser surgery is faster and less painful than conventional methods. Its detractors believe that conventional surgery is more likely to produce a cure because laser surgery may leave behind a few matrix cells, thus allowing the regrowth of the ingrown nail.
Alternative therapies are of little value in treating an ingrown toenail.
If the problem is due to improper toenail cutting and involves only a small portion of the nail, cutting a notch in the middle of the nail may be sufficient. This redirects nail growth from the edge to the center. You can also cut out the ingrown portion. However, this approach is advisable only in the earliest stage of the condition and should not be attempted if the surrounding area is inflamed, marked swollen, or infected. To prevent ingrown toenails, cut nails straight across. Also, wear shoes that are comfortably wide and round-toed rather than narrow and pointed. Avoid wearing extremely tight socks.
