This visit to Istanbul is my fifth and Bev’s fourth so we have visited most of the iconic attractions like the Blue Mosque, Topkapi, the Grand Bazaar and the Galata Tower but there is one place we have not visited and that’s the Basilica Cistern so today we decided to go there. The cistern is the largest of many underground water tanks in Istanbul and was built in the 6th century. Around seven thousand slaves worked their innards out building the one we hoped to visit today. Unfortunately the queue to get in was a mile long and there is one thing we don’t do and that’s queue unless it is absolutely essential like for when buying a bus or train ticket.
Failing that tour we thought we would visit the Blue Mosque but there was also a queue which started at the main entrance and snaked out to near the kiosk (lower right of photograph). I did a rough head count and estimated there were around three hundred and fifty people lined up waiting to get in. It seemed we were going to be restricted to outside activities today.
Near the Blue Mosque is the Hippodrome, an area of immense historical significance to the readers of ancient history. The Hippodrome was constructed in 203A.D. and was a “u” shaped arena used for chariot racing and other entertainment. Today a motorbike sped up the Hippodrome and a police car zoomed out from its hiding place in hot pursuit; so the Hippodrome is still being used for its original purpose.
Standing in the middle of the Hippodrome is the Obelisk of Emperor Theodosius, who had it brought from Egypt and had it erected here in 390 A.D. One reference stated it was made in 1479-1425 B.C. Prior to it being erected at the present site various rulers moved it around, apparently as an exhibition of their power. Back in Egypt when it was first erected it stood 30 metres high but now it stands at a lesser 18.5 metres. Regardless, it would have required super human effort and a lot of engineering skill to get it into the vertical position as it stands today. I tried to imagine what it must have been like when it was unveiled — the hierarchy standing back and saying to themselves, ‘Not a bad job. That will impress the local plebs and let them know who’s boss in these parts now’.
The keen observer will see that the apex of the obelisk is not symmetrical, it is weighted to the south (left) in the direction of Egypt. It also has a slight Leaning Tower of Pisa look.
The pedestal at the base of the obelisk.
The darker blocks of stone at the corners of the obelisk are pieces of porphyry; I assume they were placed there to provide added stability.
Detail around the outside edge of the marble plinth.
The bas-relief images on the plinth depict court scenes, the winner of a chariot race being presented with a prize and workers using a windlass to get the obelisk into position.
From the Hippodrome we went into the Grand Bazaar, a crowded but moving sea of people. It’s reported that on a busy day like today there may be in the area of old Istanbul, where the bazaar is located, up to two million people at one time. We have come to the conclusion that if you don’t the crowds the best time to come to Istanbul is in winter. All our previous visits have been mid winter and it can be extremely cold but we would prefer the cold to the people.
Rugged up for winter. On top of the Galata Tower in 2006.
The Grand Bazaar in the old quarter of Istanbul.
Istanbul is at the end of the Silk Road and so Istanbulites have been selling, trading and wheeling and dealing for centuries so when accosted by touts it’s better to think it’s their culture rather than think it is an annoyance. Today one tout grabbed my arm and attempted to pull me into his shop so desperate was he to sell me something.
Vaulted roof in the Grand Bazaar.
I think this vault could be described as a Groin vault. It’s nothing compared to the decorated ceiling in the following image but what I like about this view is it allows one to see the placement of each individual brick. Amazing.
A Tunnel vault with inset windows.
The yellow and maroon ceiling colours here are actually small glazed tiles. In fact, it’s a huge mosaic.
Sketch shows various arch types.
I should explain the primitive arch. The first altars were simply a small enclosure made by burying four saplings in the ground. They were pulled together and at the top secured. Thatch was placed on the outside to form an enclosure. When the saplings were secured in this way they formed an arch now refer to as the Gothic arch. The Gothic arch was reserved for use in religious buildings only because the point represented heaven.
Ferruh leads us through the bazaar. He was constantly turning to make sure we were not lost or waylaid by the touts.
Bev and I have a strategy when in crowds. Before we enter a crowded forum we decide on a place to meet in the event of misplacing each other. We have the address written in the local lingo on a piece of paper and money in case a taxi is required. We have never lost each other yet but today there was one anxious moment when we lost sight of each other but because I always wear my hat (locals do not wear hats) it’s easy to spot me.
Fire is the big danger when in a crowd like this. You are more likely to die by being trampled to death than by suffocation if a fire was to start. I know it is impossible to think of every eventuality but it’s good to have a plan like keeping to the edge of the crowd so you can grab a wall projection to hang onto in a stampede.
There is nothing you can’t buy in the Grand Bazaar. There are many antiques for sale but you have to be careful. You know the old adage, ‘Beware of gold bracelets filled with sand’. Another beware factor is pickpockets. When in a crowd like this one realises the value of a money belt.

Anybody my age knows that NSW Fire Brigade helmets were not as flimsy-looking as this one. The originals were heavy-duty solid polished brass. However I’m sure the seller of this helmet would guarantee it was genuine.
Turkish Delight coated in sunflower seeds.
Old world tea set. If you will excuse the pun, ‘not our cup of tea’.
A modern teapot, more to our liking.
The top pot contains strong tea and the bottom one has hot water. The hot water in the bottom pot keeps the tea in the top pot hot and is available for adjusting the strength of tea in your cup. One of the things about travel is you get new ideas; I’d like to make one of these teapots when I get home. Steve, is there a grammatical definition for a phrase such as ‘top pot hot’?
Caviar is unfertilised fish egg. Most people think that Caviar comes from the Sturgeon species of fish but this is not strictly true. The word sturgeon is the common name for a number of fish harvested for their eggs and because these fish are slow growing they have been exploited to the point that are on the critically endangered list.
Spices in the Grand Bazaar. Chilli lovers’ delight!
Leaving the Grand Bazaar we headed for home across the Galata Bridge.
The Galata Bridge across the Golden Horn in the late 1800s.
Under the bridge these days it’s wall-to-wall restaurants; the actual thoroughfare is between the diners’ tables.
On top the bridge. Fishermen line its entire length like this every day of the week.
A thoroughly exhaustive day but worth the effort, even though we had to rub shoulders with the masses.
Love the brick vaulted roof, amazing! Love the old world teapot set! The modern one should be called the Fred and bev set, the one with tea for Bev and the hot water for Fred 😉 Turkish delight looks awesome.

In 2009, 1E and the Alliance to Save Energy, an independent research on the awareness and behavior of PC users and server administrators in the largest companies in the world in order.
The PC Energy Report found that nearly half of all PCs used for business purposes are not turned off regularly in the U.S. overnight. This means that about 108 million PCs remain switched on at work overnight and cause unnecessary electricity costs in the amount of 2.1 billion euros. At the same time about 20 tons of carbon dioxide are emitted, which corresponds to the pollution of about 4 million cars.
From the Server Energy & Efficiency Report is apparent that unused server cost 18 billion euros of hardware, maintenance, management, power and cooling costs annually. About one sixth of these servers (15%) do no meaningful tasks. Turning off non-productive servers could save 2.8 billion in electricity costs and avoid the emission of 11.8 million tons of carbon dioxide ( the amount of 2.1 million cars caused ) a year.
2010 issued 1E Vanson Bourne commissioned to determine the efficiency of help desk. The report of this research project refers to a number of problems for IT departments. For more than a third of users has the money to spend their IT departments every year for them, with little or no value. About 50 % of users have with any of their requests nachhaken at least once to really get the software requested by them, and more than two thirds (68 %) of users are of the opinion that they could even find and install the required software faster as the IT helpdesk.
From the 2011 Fast IiS, Opinion Matters and IAITAM publish software efficiency report shows that there are unused in the UK alone software and shelfware worth 2 billion euros. 47% of respondents said that their company still uses spreadsheets to list of software licenses. 6% still use a management system based on paper and amazing 16 % use either electronic or paper formats.

Exposure to traffic noise increases your risk of having a heart attack, according to research published in the journal Deutsches Ärzteblatt International.
The research, which forms part of the Noise-Related Annoyance, Cognition, and Health study, aimed specifically to investigate the health consequences of noise pollution caused by traffic.
The researchers analysed data gathered by statutory health insurers on over a million Germans over the age of 40.
The addresses of participants were mapped and precisely matched to road, rail, and traffic noise exposure measurements made in 2005.
They found a ‘statistically significant’ association between noise exposure and death caused by heart attacks. They also found that the slight increase in risk is most pronounced in proximity to road and rail traffic. It is believed that this is because air traffic noise only briefly rises above 65 decibels.
The study’s authors believe that the number of people affected by noise pollution warrants ‘intensive’ public health efforts to reduce traffic noise.
The researchers compared the exposure to traffic noise of 19,632 patients who had suffered a heart attack with 834,734 people who had not suffered a heart attack. They found that people exposed to noise levels of 60 to 65 decibels had a nine per cent increase in risk, and those exposed to more than 70 decibels a 13 per cent increase.
Does this mean that traffic noise would be all right if it didn’t (allegedly) increase the rate of heart attacks?

Few people alive today can claim to have witnessed the frantic, sodden dashes from surf to dune, the cratered sandscape, the sooty sea air and the wild-eyed adrenalin that was D-Day, the military operation that enabled the Allies to force their way back into mainland Europe having been unceremoniously evicted by Hitler’s forces in the early stages of the Second World War.
The battalions of soldiers who crouched on landing craft, silently praying for a swift passage to the far side of the sands on the Normandy beaches, are rapidly diminishing. Those airmen who terrorised Wehrmacht positions, immeasurably assisting advancing troops, are fewer in number each year. Many of the sailors who, at huge risk, helped ferry invading forces across the English channel have died in the intervening sixty years since D-Day. Paratroopers who called on hitherto unknown reserves of personal courage as they were dropped behind enemy lines are likewise dwindling in number. Only one in five Germans alive today experienced the traumas of the Second World War. There were very many, of course, of numerous nationalities who did not survive to tell the tale.
Yet the courage of all these men who refused to be thrown back into the sea, not to mention the audacity of the military planners, is a recurring topic even in the 21st century. This multitude of heroes fought for the noble principle of freedom and that helps them loom large in the collective consciousness.
Map showing the furthest extent of the Nazi Third Reich, circa 1942.
This is breathless history. It was as much an assault on the senses as on German-held France and most of us can vividly imagine the array of sights, the barrage of sounds, the taste of fear and the odour of impassioned warfare. This book aims to provide a reference for those who may have difficulty in summoning up relevant or accurate images. Crucially, it goes beyond D-Day and its immediate aftermath. D-Day indeed put the Allies on the road to victory but it was by no means decisive. The German grip on the European continent may have been loosened, but it would take almost another year of gruelling fighting before the final order of surrender of all German arms was signed by Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz, leader of a broken nation after Hitler’s suicide in his Berlin bunker on 30 April 1945. Victory in Europe is the story of those final gruelling months of the European theatre of the Second World War.
With hindsight, it seems inevitable that once the Allies had a foothold in Normandy, they would blithely roll through France, into Germany and straight to the heart of the Third Reich, ending Hitler’s boast of a thousand-year reign. In fact, the advance could have stalled, or even been thrown back, on numerous occasions. If the Führer’s promise of secret weapons had amounted to more than just a promise, Europe and the world might today be of a rather different character.
Although in popular imagining the D in D-Day stands for ‘Deliverance’, in actual fact D simply stands for day: the day of any military operation is referred to as D-Day, just as the exact hour of its launch is known as H-Hour. That the term should today carry quasi-religious overtones stands as testimony to the unspeakable evil of the regime from which mainland Europe was liberated. The resolve to free Europe took shape almost at the moment the last soldier of the BEF, the British Expeditionary Force, was evacuated from Dunkirk in May 1940. The USA became equally convinced of the merit of liberation after Hitler hastily, and somewhat unwisely, declared war on the US in 1941 following the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Even prior to this incident, however, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was convinced that a Hitler allowed to consolidate his territorial gains would ultimately come to threaten the security of the US itself.
In the modern era, it is unthinkable that a brutal dictatorship could hold sway over Europe: this, however, is exactly what did happen for four long years after German tanks rushed through France in 1940. The Nazis – their power by now unchallenged in Germany – roared across the continent to the blood-curdling sound of the Stuka dive-bomber, reaching the French coast in just six weeks, a feat the generals of the First World War were unable to achieve in four years.
Having lost large numbers of men and materiel in France, the British army was severely understrength and under-equipped and had Hitler decided on a full-scale invasion of the British Isles, there is the likelihood that he may have succeeded. But the Wehrmacht was unprepared for an amphibious assault on this scale, and the High Command was canny enough to recognise this. Disputes between the German army and navy about the logistics of the invasion persuaded Hitler to postpone Operation Sealion, as the operation had been code-named, turning to Göring’s Luftwaffe to win control of the skies as a prelude to invasion. The future of the war lay in the hands of the few Royal Air Force pilots – and they prevailed. Operation Sealion was shelved indefinitely.

Still clinging to the hope that Britain would sue for peace, Hitler turned his attentions to the Soviet Union, giving British military planners precious time to plot the liberation of Europe. Outside the occupied territories of Europe the conflict raged across many fronts, and the Allies began to have serious discussions about the hazards of invasions.
Valuable lessons were learned with the aborted invasion-style raid on Dieppe in August 1942 although the price was high: the death or capture of some 4,000 Canadian troops.
Firstly, the operation at Dieppe underlined the need for secrecy. At the French port the defending Germans were expecting some action and were well-prepared. Secondly, the Navy’s heavy cruisers and battleships would be sorely needed during a large-scale action. At the time the Dieppe raid took place, the Royal Navy was exercising extreme caution in permitting ships into the exposed English Channel and, on this occasion, allowed nothing bigger than a destroyer into the waters to protect the men going ashore. Air supremacy also proved to be crucial, another element missing at Dieppe. Poor communications between beach and operation commanders meant waves of men were sent ashore when they had no hope of survival. This was a further issue that urgently needed addressing as was the lack of meaningful reconnaissance. Many soldiers deposited at Dieppe had no idea where to exit the beach. There was, following Dieppe, a clear need for specialist amphibious craft to protect men emerging from the waters. Perhaps most importantly, the Dieppe fiasco served to highlight the perils of attempting any invasion against established fortifications. As for the Germans, the debacle at Dieppe made them feel impregnable and perhaps contributed to an air of complacency.

There were other, more successful landings for the Allies to consider, such as the attack at Vaagso in Norway at the end of 1941, the sabotage of St Nazaire in March 1942 and the so-called Torch landings that propelled additional Allied troops into North Africa in the wake of the success at El Alamein. However, all were on a much smaller scale than D-Day, with far less at stake.
Plans were drafted and re-drafted. Whatever his personality clashes with higher officers may have been, the British Field Marshal Sir Bernard Law Montgomery was swift to assess an initial plan as too small. He wanted a much bigger and broader thrust into France in order to prevent the invading forces simply being squeezed back into the sea.
The Allies had a fair idea of what awaited them in France. For several years the hierarchy had had access to Germany’s military secrets after the Reich’s highly complex Enigma code was broken. Germany had been producing Enigma machines since before the war, which, simply put, were ‘typewriter’ style devices with rotor wheels and plug boards that automatically replaced one letter for another to provide a uniform code. Message recipients also in possession of an Enigma machine simply adjusted their rotors to read off the correctly transposed words. The rotor settings changed on a daily basis. Without specialist knowledge the codes were hopelessly obscure. In fact, the complexity of the encoding system was such that the code-breakers had a one in 150,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance of stumbling across the right answer purely by chance. The German generals sincerely believed the system was impregnable simply because no one would have the time to tackle it. They overlooked some obvious weaknesses: that numbers had to be written in full, that no letter could stand for itself, and that each message began with a weather forecast. They also reckoned without the brilliant mathematicians in Britain who did crack the Enigma code and used it to help Britain win the Battle of the Atlantic by guiding shipping away from known U boat movements.
Still, the Germans had no idea that many of their plans were being shared with the British eavesdroppers working at Bletchley Park, 50 miles north of London. Every effort was made to ensure it stayed that way. It meant that sometimes the military leaders in Britain uncomfortably sat back and let German plans unfold, rather than pre-empt enemy campaigns and jeopardise the access enjoyed by the Allies. It was an advantage they clearly did not want to lose. So when an American task force captured a German U-boat complete with its Enigma code books on 4 June, a mere two days before Overlord was scheduled, Commander in Chief of the US Atlantic Fleet, Royal E. Ingersoll, was quick to ensure that not a word of the capture was released until after D-Day was over. Had Germany realised the code was being broken they might have switched systems and closed the window the Allies had on German movements in Normandy just when it was most needed.
The activities of the Allied code-breakers were vital in ensuring that D-Day took place in 1944, rather than, as some analysts believe, 1946, by which time Hitler’s secret weapons – the V2 rocket, the so-called ‘London gun’ and the jet aircraft – may well have been in operation, and the conclusion of the conflict might have been seriously delayed or even altered.
The decision to embark on the D-Day offensive was not entirely straightforward. Britain was already at war on two fronts, in Italy and in Burma. The war in Africa was largely won but had sharply brought into focus the unlikelihood of achieving swift victories over the German army. America was dedicated to squeezing the Japanese out of the Pacific.

Anand Mahindra-owned television channel Epic, best known for its focus on history and mythology, is set to reposition the programming that will include a wide array of original content across various genres.
Epic's expansion and strategic repositioning of the channel proposition has come in the light of an increasing demand for programmes about India.
On the new direction of the channel, Aditya Pittie of Epic, said, "The infotainment genre is a content driven destination colonised by international players and syndicated programming with infrequent home-grown shows available. There is an evident and growing discrepancy in what is available and what popular sentiment demands. In this divide is the opportunity that Epic is best positioned to capitalise on."
The new programming line-up, to be revealed soon, includes a show hosted by former Indian opening batsman Virender Sehwag.
Epic's new position will be that of the first Hindi infotainment channel with India-centric localised content.

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb..
An atheist was walking through the woods one day in Alaska, admiring all that evolution had created. "What majestic trees! What a powerful river! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 13-foot Kodiak brown bear beginning to charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could down the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was rapidly closing on him. Somehow, he ran even faster, so scared that tears came to his eyes. He looked again and the bear was even closer. His heart pounding in his chest, he tried to run faster yet.
But alas, he tripped and fell to the ground. As he rolled over to pick himself up, the bear was right over him, reaching for him with its left paw and raising its right paw to strike him.
The sounds of the forest resumed....and the bear dropped down on his knees, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, thank you for this food which I am about to receive."

AFGRI, the leading South African agricultural services and diversified foods group, announced on 29 January 2014 their active participation in the sponsorship of Blue Bulls rugby in South Africa.
Chris Venter, CEO of AFGRI, said at an official Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd press conference today that AFGRI is pleased to be associated with a winning culture.
AFGRI draws its history in South Africa back 90 years and so too the Blue Bulls are no strangers to transformation, tenacity and a fighting spirit. The Blue Bulls hold no less than 23 ABSA Currie Cup titles in South Africa and three titles in the Super Rugby competition which has been in place since 1996. This approach to winning appeals to AFGRI since the sponsorship will also contribute towards sport, player and community development some of AFGRI’s areas of operation.

I had a few pieces of luck this weekend that resulted in a fantastic wildlife experience at Chambers Farm Woods in Lincolnshire. The first piece of luck was whilst wondering where to go this weekend I was browsing the web and saw a note on the Butterfly Conservation website that black hairstreaks had been seen at Chambers Farm Wood.
The second piece of luck (bearing in mind I had never been there before, the place is massive and the black hairstreaks are confined to one very small place) was that I bumped in to a chap who was actually looking at them as I walked up to him.
What was quite difficult was to see them settled as they spent most of their time flitting high up in the canopy and settling out of sight, but during the time I was there on or two individuals spent no more than 5 minutes at a level where they could be photographed.
Eventually one did pose long enough for me to get some reasonable shots that I was happy with.
There was plenty of other insects around including a brimstone, white admiral, broad bordered hawk moth, a couple of dragonflies and two types of longhorn beetle.
There were also plenty of biting insects around but nothing could spoil the experience of a close encounter with some quite beautiful and very rare butterflies.

The zone of proximal development (sometimes abbreviated ZPD), is the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can do with help. It is a concept developed by Soviet psychologist and social constructivist Lev Vygotsky (1896 - 1934). Vygotsky stated that a child follows an adult's example and gradually develops the ability to do certain tasks without help or assistance. Vygotsky's often-quoted definition of zone of proximal development presents it as "the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers."
Vygotsky among other educational professionals believes the role of education to be to provide children with experiences which are in their ZPD, thereby encouraging and advancing their individual learning.
The concept of ZPD has been expanded, modified, and changed into new concepts since Vygotsky's original conception.
The concept of scaffolding is closely related to the ZPD, although Vygotsky himself never mentioned the term; instead, scaffolding was developed by other sociocultural theorists applying Vygotsky's ZPD to educational contexts. Scaffolding is a process through which a teacher or more competent peer gives aid to the student in her/his ZPD as necessary, and tapers off this aid as it becomes unnecessary, much as a scaffold is removed from a building during construction. According to education expert Nancy Balaban, "Scaffolding refers to the way the adult guides the child's learning via focused questions and positive interactions." This concept has been further developed by Ann Brown, among others. Several instructional programs were developed on the basis of the notion of ZPD interpreted this way, including reciprocal teaching and dynamic assessment.

My bishop says that everyone has his own cross. Our job is to figure out what it is and take it up, cheerfully and with faith that God will give us the strength to carry it.
What is my cross? I've been thinking about it a lot during the past few weeks, in preparation for my Advent confession. Of all the things I struggle with, what particular burden did God intend for me to bear? And how can bear it unto salvation, for myself and for those around me?
When I consider my trials of the last year, the things that have stretched and pushed me out of my comfort zone and into despair, the recurring theme is that I cannot do enough for my family and friends; there is simply not enough time, not enough lunches or e-mails or handmade gifts, to properly love all of the people I love.
Can love be a cross? Is it possible that I simply have too many friends?
The idea sounds ludicrous. And several years ago, when I received an e-mail from someone who apologized for having been irresponsible in cultivating too many relationships, spreading himself thin beyond what he could reach, I was taken aback. But over the years I've remembered his words again and again, each time with a greater degree of sympathy, until I now think I could have written them myself.
It's never fun to have someone break up with you; in fact, it's downright miserable. But what about the person doing the breaking up -- the person who knows she is doing the right thing, but hates to do it? What about the awful feeling of having caused someone else pain, coupled with the inability to do anything to alleviate it? That is what I feel each time I have to say no, each time I don't call or miss the party: as if I'm letting you down, allowing my humanity to get in the way of our friendship. If only I could finish my work more quickly, go to bed a little later, slide by with a little less alone time! If only I could do what I want instead of what I don't!
I stand in church and cannot hear the life-giving words of the Gospel; instead, my eyes drift over the congregation, resting on each brother and sister I have not reached out to the way I wanted. And herein is the problem, I think: in the end, it's not about others at all, and certainly not about following the path God intends for me. It's about running my life the way I want to run it, setting my own priorities and calling all the shots myself; trying to be everyone's best friend, everyone's rock. But there is only one rock, and He is Christ.
So, dear friends, your Christmas cards are going out late for a reason. Just thought you should know.

If there’s one thing the holidays are inevitable for, it’s good food and a lot of it. People will typically handle holidays one of two ways: avoid outings and parties like the plague or accept weight gain and eat ruthlessly.
Good news. There is balance between the two, and it’s outline by a few simple tips.
Regardless of what parties, activities or dinners you go to, keep your routine as constant as possible. Start every day with a plan. Make sure that includes tracking your food intake, keeping up with water consumption and eating foods that you typically do. Just because it’s the holidays doesn’t mean you have to take nibbles of everything that co-workers bring into work.
Sometimes, staying on track means packing food. Trust me, it wouldn’t be the first time I packed a tupperware dinner to a holiday party. When I do, I’m less likely to overindulge.
Even on Thanksgiving morning, I make time for a workout. The best option is to find a gym that is open and get a day pass. If you’re somewhere where that is not an option, do some kind of HIIT workout to get your heartrate up.
A simple workout could involve rounds of burpees, push ups, jump lunges and plank jacks. Do this for time or reps for 15 minutes to start your day off.
Your mind is racing at a million miles per hour during the holidays. Always keep lists of where you need to be with a few reminders or alarms set.
When you head into Christmas, chances are there will be tons of food you’ve looked forward to all year, including Aunt Ruth’s cookies. When I go into a feast, which I would consider Thanksgiving or Christmas, I take the day off from tracking. I start the day off with a high protein breakfast with plenty of water. At the dinner, I fill my plate with what I’m craving. I don’t snack on things just because they’re sitting out.
Rule: If I would regret not eating it the next day, I eat it. If I would pass it up any other day, I skip it.
We all go overboard at times. The worst thing you can do is punish yourself with low calories, cardio and guilt. Chug water. Stick to your diet. Get a workout in. Move on.
Remember, life is too short to track every calorie. If you are on top of your fitness game 365 days a year (or 363), one day will not harm you. Expect to feel bloated for a few days, but know it will all settle.

Reading through the rack of get fit magazines (Shape, Fitness, etc.) boasting a quick burn 250 calories in 20 minutes - Fact or Fiction? YOU DECIDE!
If you dislike exercise, a quick, calorie blasting workout is circuit training. (No special equipment needed.) Take activities you can do (walk, march, stair climb, jumping jacks, the Twist, jump rope, skip) and alternate two activities with one strength exercise (such as crunches, push-ups (modified or regular), plank, and lunges) put them together starting with one of your easiest activities first and gradually increase the activity to something more difficult for you.
1. Write down 7-10 activities you can do and 4-5 strength exercises.
2. Cut out each idea from a piece of paper and place them in front of you.
3. Organize them this way: 1) easy, 2) harder, 3) hardest, 4) easier, and 5) easiest.
4. Find an area free of clutter (5 feet is good). Set each piece of paper in order around you - alternate 2 -1 exercises with cardio and strength.
5. Get out your egg timer and set it to ring at 1 minute intervals to start. Each time the timer rings, move on to the next exercise. You pick the exercises you like best and do them again. It's THAT EASY! As the workout gets easier, write down different exercises or increase to 1 and 1/2 minute intervals.
Getting kids involved can be a good way to feel motivated and make exercise fun!
Do you have different ideas that work for you? Share them here.

Community Responders are required to attend 999 emergency calls in the area, but are never called to road traffic accidents, childbirth or gynaecological issues, or calls which may involve violence or disorder.
These are 999 calls which the Ambulance Service deem to be “serious and/or life-threatening” needing medical help to arrive as quickly as possible - usually within the first eight minutes from the 999 call being made.
Our Responders are already living or working in the community so can often get to the call quicker. This is when lives can sometimes be saved – and it has been proved that patients’ chances of recovery are significantly increased.
More than 70% of sudden cardiac arrest cases happen out of hospital and another 10-15% occur at work, so it is unlikely that an ambulance will be on scene straight away.
Responders can often get to the patient quicker and give basic life-saving support until the ambulance arrives and it is in this immediate timeslot that treatment could make all the difference, especially in rural areas where it is not always possible for the ambulance to reach the patient straight away due to volume of calls, traffic hold-ups or remote locations.
The SAFeR Scheme gives local people increased chances of a healthy future.

My laptop has been a bit long in the tooth for a while now. It’s a 12″ Mac Powerbook G4 circa 2003. It actually runs OS 10.5 pretty well, which is impressive considering it originally came with OS 9 (that’s — count ’em — 6 operating systems ago). The most noticeable issue is that it struggles to play video such as YouTube, and if I’m working with a particularly large file (150+ MB) it struggles to handle it.
So I needed a new one, but didn’t want to drop a grand on it. What to do? Well, I found a fixer-upper on eBay for just over $400. Impressively, it’s last year’s model Macbook with maxed out RAM and a good size hard drive. The down side is that it lacks an optical drive, and the keyboard is en Español.
Got the computer in the mail Tuesday. Thanks to “Target Disk Mode” via Firewire, I was able to wipe the drive and install the OS without an optical drive. Had a small hiccough transferring my old data from my Time Machine backup, in that I had forgotten that my backup doesn’t include my applications. Re-doing the transfer from my bootable backup drive fixed that nicely.
So — I’ll be putting about another $100 into the computer, as I got an English keyboard assembly for $30, and an optical drive for about $75 (both on eBay). I even found an online auction for the *brackets* for the optical drive, which is handy since the computer I bought had the drive completely removed (“it was making a funny noise” I’m told).
So now I get to do surgery. Cool! 🙂 I replaced the hard drive in the Powerbook a couple years back, so I have a bit of experience with cracking open laptops. Should be an interesting exercise, involving steady hands and very, very small screwdrivers.

I've been eyeballing these Cuppow BNTO lunchbox adaptors for awhile. When I saw that Shop Peppermint had them in stock, I hurried over to get one.
These are perfect for separating foods like yogurt and granola, salad and dressing or in the case here, veggies and dip.
Does your BNTO leak? Several reviews I've seen said it does, and others say it is amazing.
No, it didn't leak but the first jar I tried it on, the lid wouldn't screw the whole way down. The second jar was fine.

Visage Imaging (“Visage”) is a provider of diagnostic imaging and advanced visualization software solutions for healthcare institutions worldwide. Leveraging server-side processing, Visage’s solutions deliver ultrafast access to multi-dimensional (2D, 3D, 4D) imagery across a range of devices, enabling physicians to access and interpret medical images with greater speed and ease. Visage’s leading solution, the Visage® 7 Enterprise Imaging Platform, allows organizations to consolidate what has traditionally required multiple viewers into a single customizable viewing platform—delivering faster, more robust images complete with an incredibly deep set of clinical tools, all from a single viewer. This enables radiologists to deliver higher quality radiology reports, to provide referring physicians premier access to the same set of customizable tools (directly and via the EMR), and lets IT leaders streamline imaging infrastructure and reduce costs. Visage 7 is app-based, rendering images on the server-side using NVIDIA Quadro GPUs and then streaming them via thin-client to Windows and Mac desktops, as well as mobile devices, offering flexibility, security, and scalability.
As healthcare continues to experience an increasing frequency of facility acquisitions and consolidation, it is common for a single health system to have acquired multiple hospitals over time, each running a different picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), frequently from different vendors. On the surface, it seems logical for health systems to consolidate to a single vendor solution. However, the cost of change is organizationally disruptive and expensive, particularly in PACS where in recent years the benefits of swapping ‘one PACS for another PACS’ has not exceeded the opportunity cost of sticking with the status quo.
Visage aimed to develop a platform that would be well worth the change. They were not interested in developing a marginally better platform, but one that offered a tangible, generational improvement over legacy PACS—delivering a single, customizable viewer for users to immediately display any imaging study or studies, regardless of the type or size of the stud(ies), from nearly any location. The Visage engineers believed the key to this flexibility would be to develop a server-side architecture that could be easily integrated into existing infrastructure, and place the heavy lifting of image processing onto NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, removing the processing burden from client devices.
With NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, Visage is able to make its imaging platform excel in nearly all areas of performance, including raw speed and native multi-dimensional image visualization. Visage 7 leverages NVIDIA’s powerful flagship Quadro K6000 GPU to quickly render images server-side and then rapidly streams images to a variety of supported client and mobile devices. A single viewer—an open platform that works with all common diagnostic imaging modalities, as well as non-DICOM images—provides enormous flexibility for radiologists and other physicians across numerous disciplines, and eliminates legacy PACS restrictions such OS, device and browser-specific access limitations. For instance, users can use the full power of Visage 7 on a MacBook Air, even though the device lacks a dedicated graphics card.
One of the biggest benefits for Visage’s customers is speed. Faster rendering and access allows radiologists and physicians to achieve greater productivity—which, in healthcare, is critical. NVIDIA Quadro K6000 GPUs provide an unparalleled 12 GB of memory to render and stream massive imaging studies faster than any other GPU on the market—for example, a 6 GB file for a 3D mammography exam (e.g., Digital Breast Tomosynthesis) can be losslessly displayed and fully interrogated by any supported device in merely 2-3 seconds, even over broadband speeds (6 Mbps or greater). And Visage 7’s server-side processing frees up users from the limitations of slow bandwidth connections, leveraging adaptive, intelligent streaming.
Visage 7’s speed and harmonious approach to IT benefits its customers every day. Using Visage 7, institutions can save on overhead for the maintenance, training and support of various viewers and professional-tier thick-client workstations, consolidating numerous viewers, with a single viewer. Individual radiologists read rapidly, from a single desktop—providing faster, more informed diagnoses to referring physicians, with no clinical limitations even when offsite. IT administrators applaud the ability to centralize and scale image viewing with the simplicity of one viewer, removing the complexities, redundancies and restrictions of a hub and spoke multi-PACS network. And for those healthcare institutions that have spread a common EMR across their enterprise, the ability to have the same viewer accessible by referring physicians from the EMR, as well as by radiologists for interpretation, is the optimal state of image delivery.
Ultimately, the longstanding partnership between Visage and NVIDIA allows them to keep pioneering new enhancements and anticipate graphics demands as new industry trends emerge. For instance, when legacy PACS vendors faced and continue to face staggering challenges to handle the recent boom in 3D mammography, Visage 7 users were rendering and streaming the massive, complex breast imaging studies with ease. As the standards for women’s healthcare rapidly change, Visage already has the tools for success in place, supporting the simultaneous display of multi-modality breast imaging presentations.

Is Afterschool the Future of School?
Could great afterschool education become the model for the school day of the future? Schools have requirements that afterschool programs do not. But if afterschool programs build innovative learning experiences in STEM or other content areas that young people gravitate to and even love, the answer to this question should be an emphatic “Yes.” The boundaries between afterschool and school are already softening. Many schools share a focus on exploration, hands-on activities and group work, and afterschool programs often take responsibility for enriching academic learning. Can we build a school day that is founded on the idea of the whole child, identity development and the exploration of how the world works? Can that happen in environments that do not constrain students to the inside of buildings? And can students participating in this new, “flexible school” show real academic gains?

This newfound fame found by Playboi Carti can be accredited to his single “Magnolia” which has now gone platinum. On “Magnolia”, Playboi Carti demonstrates his upbeat and repetitive style which leads to many of his listeners having his lyrics playing on repeat in their heads.
Playboi Carti lets the beat drives his music which makes them perfect for concert settings as they make it nearly impossible not to move along with them. Playboi Carti has begun to get recognition for his music as he was selected as of 10 artists on the XXL Freshman List in 2017. His performance in both his freestyle and his cipher showcased how beat-driven his music is and how his use of ad-libs created a layered texture to his music that is commonly appreciated in many of today;s biggest rap hits.

Generally there are two options when getting a main board repair, the cheapest and fastest method of the two would be a reflow and the more expensive option which requires skill, expensive equipment and some serious patience is a reball.
Because of the nature of the repair the reball method is as good as having a motherboard replaced, with this service we offer at a 90 day warranty where as on a reflow we can only offer 30 days as we are repairing the chip but not the under lying problems which may be causing the damage.
That said our success rate is 90% on our reflows and we've had many a customer return to us 2 years down the line with a working laptop - Be sure to check this when obtaining a quote as the job may cost less..but it may cost twice!
main causes; blocking the fan by either dust caught in the fan or placing a laptop on a soft surface which blocks the air flow.

Actor Priyanka Chopra, who married singer Nick Jonas in twin ceremonies on December 3 and 4, has finally shared pictures of their big destination wedding.
For three days, nearly all of the social media platforms were flooded with the pictures and photos from Priyanka and Nick's wedding. PeeCee looked radiant on the most special day of her life and she was definitely the happiest bride we have ever seen.
Chopra posted a video on Twitter on Tuesday morning showing her Ralph Lauren gown and 75-foot-long veil, which required nearly a half-dozen people to hold up behind her.
For the Hindu ceremony, Chopra changed into a choli and lehenga in traditional bridal red, covering her head with a floor-length lace-trimmed dupatta. And though there's a lot to love about both of Chopra's wedding gowns (her 75-foot-long veil and her 2,380,00 sequins, for starters), what we love even more secret messages and tributes she sewed into them.
The celebrity couple exchanged vows on Saturday at the opulent Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, in the western desert state of Rajasthan, with fireworks lighting up the sky. The newlyweds are all set to celebrate their wedding with friends and families at the Taj Palace Hotel in New Delhi on Tuesday. I think I was nervous and scared.
Ralph Lauren, who designed one of her dresses, sent out a release with so many awesome details it'll make your head spin.
"I always knew I wanted a red traditional silhouette for my wedding but Sabya brought in incredible French embroidery to the mix and with incredible jewelry and Western-inspired veil it was just such an amalgamation of who I am", Chopra told the magazine. Honestly, I could not have imagined it would be as flawless as it was.
Another pre-wedding ritual, the Sangeet is a musical evening where the uniting families perform song and dance. "It was highly emotional", said the star of the former The Jonas Brothers band.

Yuhanna Ibn Zabdi, known as “Yuhanna the Apostle” , “Yuhanna Enjili” and “the Divine Yuhanna” was the author of one of the four Gospels. His father was Zabdi, his mother Salumeh and his brother Yaqub the Apostle (Yaqub the Great). He, his father and brother were fishermen. Yuhanna and his brother were titled “the sons of thunder” by Christ, because they were in favour with God severly. Yuhanna was one of the most favourite students of Christ. He was a kind and patient man. When Christ was captured by the Jews, Yuhanna was in ####company with him. He always sat on the right side of Christ and appearantly was the youngest Apostle. Previously he was one of the students of “John the Baptist” and believed in Christ by his guidance. He lived in Jerusalem, after the death of Pols, was resident in Ufus in Asia Minor. In 59 was exiled to Patmus by the then emperor, but again returned to Ufus and lived there until his death in 100 at the age of 94. He wrote his Gospel after the other Gospels at the end of the 1st century. Out of the 33 miracles of Christ, 7 of them have been mentioned in Yuhanna’s Gospel, while in other Gospels, only one of the miracles is written. In his Gospel, Christ is described as “the son of God” and “ the assistant from God”.
Generally it is believed that the book “Revelation” and his letters which were written in 96-97 are supposed to be the last New Testament books.

Why do Bouncing Stilts ‘wow’ audiences more than normal stilts?

In reaction to the controversy surrounding the Iranian nuclear program, the chair of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) Nikolaus Schneider called upon concerned parties to do everything in their power to avoid military escalation in the region. "We of course view with great concern the growing threat of armed conflict due in part to Iranian policy," Schneider told the Evangelical Press Service "epd." But the attitude of the Israeli government was also problematical, he said.
Schneider, who has been awarded the Buber Rosenzweig Medal of the German Coordinating Council of Societies for Christian-Jewish Cooperation said the State of Israel was not exempt from criticism. The EKD Council chair and president ("praeses") of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland criticized the construction of settlements in violation of international law and the curtailment of civil rights in the Palestinian territories. Terrorism and violence on the part of Palestinians were also sharply criticized. "The critical limit has been reached when a state's fundamental right to exist is threatened or when, in the case of Israel, the criticism takes the form of anti-Semitism," the Protestant theologian argued.
The EKD Council chair called the relationship between Christianity and Judaism to be unshakable. Following the Nazi period, Protestant Christians redefined the Christian-Jewish relationship. Schneider recalled that this new theological departure, which included abandoning the mission to the Jews, was made possible by the Jewish side's willingness to dialogue. "Today knowledge about our permanent roots in Judaism is a stronger component of Protestant theology." Binding commonalities can be emphasized without ignoring our differences. Indeed, this basic mutual trust between Christians and Jews had to be nurtured and strengthened.
With this non-monetary distinction, the Societies for Christian-Jewish Cooperation wish to acknowledge Schneider's many years of effort to promote understanding between Jews and Christians. The praeses contributed substantially to the realization of the "pioneering 1980 synod declaration of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland on the 'Renewal of the Relationship between Christians and Jews.'" The award ceremony marks the launching of this year's "Week of Fellowship," which was organized for the first time 60 years ago and the theme of which in 2012 is "With responsibility for others."

"This was my first incident, and it totally spoiled me. Not only the best I`ve seen them play, but arguably the best I`ve seen anyone play, ever. The energy was insane, and everyone seemed to know it and feed off it. The first set blew me away, dripping with the funk. The Birdland opener was crazy, best I`ve heard them do. Chameleon was immaculate, almost note for note. I could go on for days analyzing every song, but suffice to say, any head worth their mettle must, must, MUST hear this show. If only you were there..."
"This show was off the hook. The first set was so amazing that at end of the set they had to remind us it was only the first set the born on the wrong planet has the bass jam that still sends chills up my spine every time i listen to it It was the greatest fourth of july i have ever had thanks guys!!!!"
"Can`t believe nobody reviewed this one - I think the band actually amazed themselves during parts of this show!"

I'm excited to share about everything that has been going on in Focus over the past month. It amazes me how God works through inexperienced, weak, and sinful people like us to accomplish his good will, and how he somehow manages to pour out blessing after blessing on us along the way. God is good.
I'll start this update by talking about something that's been really exciting to me. We have partnered with another Christian group on campus to focus on beginning friendships with people from the Middle East. We were approached by this group because they saw how there wasn't much purposeful contact between American Christians and Middle Eastern students. So we began to meet in a small room on campus Friday mornings from 10:30 to noon. We call this Turkish Coffee Time. It is a time to meet students from the Middle East, eat and drink their customary coffee and snacks, and have conversations about life, culture, religion, and other things. We have met twice so far and it's been really cool to see our students coming and meeting people. We plan to do this every week and establish this as a way to continually reach out to this student group.
Our times of worship this semester have been really meaningful. We have 12...yes, 12 different people leading our worship this semester. We've moved away from the paradigm that the worship leader needs to be a male singer with a guitar, and decided that we want to develop worship leaders no matter what their musical gifting. So we gave each student a week to lead our community in worship. After they think through some ideas about what to do they get with Cody, our intern, and the two of them finalize the worship plan. The result has been deep, engaging, and meaningful worship led by young students who are seeing, some for the first time, the endless possibilities in worshipping our God. We've had prayer nights, times to write out our thoughts to God in praise, different people share about why songs are important to them, and more.
To finish up, this month has not been one marked merely by good tidings and easy sailing. We have encountered resistance from the enemy on multiple fronts. People getting gravely sick, spiritual attacks, deception, and a host of other issues have made this month a difficult one. I ask that you please be in prayer over these things. Pray for the Ephesians 6 kind of strength that we need to overcome these things. Remember us, who are working on the campus on behalf of Christ, and pray for our endurance. We need your help here more than anywhere. We are confident of the Lord's hand in these things, and trust he will continue to lead us now, as he always has. Thank you so much for your partnership and support. We are so grateful to have allies such as you in this battle!

Agreed. I caught the bottom right away, but I can't see the top one at all.
What makes them so clever is you presume one lap around the tree equals one loop of the gif.
Watch the tree shadows in the background. It loops on the second lap just like the bottom one.
Awwwwwwww. My dog growing up would dig holes and then lay in them!
Now that, there, is one comfortable dog.
I can't help it. Everytime I see a Corgi, I think of Cowboy Bebop.
Well Ein is like the best Corgi ever.
In all honesty, most corgis are the best corgi ever.
Can any other Corgi hack? I think not!
Ein is pretty much the reason why Corgis are so damned popular now. Definitely the reason I wanted one, and the reason my local Corgi-owning friends got theirs.
Fad dogs are a thing. Currently Shibas (and for the less clever, Akitas) are in high demand due to Doge.
That being said, I probably will get a Corgi someday, and Cowboy Bebop had some part in that.
Ein is pretty much the reason why Corgis are so damned popular now.
I dunno, both my sister and mother have been into them for a very long time, and while I don't know about my sister, I'm dead certain my mom never watched Cowboy Bebop.
I suppose it's possible that they picked it up from people who'd seen Bebop, though.

They’re serious watches for people who don’t take themselves or their watches all that seriously. Too many brands put too much effort into adding gravitas to their aura with their marketing. It’s just a watch!!! Our designs are handsome, and they’re a good value. We want the brand to be fun, for people to love their watch without worrying about what anyone else thinks about the brand.
Who are the people behind Lew and Huey?
It’s just me – I do all the designs, the fulfillment, the marketing, everything. My wife helps out a little. But we get a ton of support from people on Watchuseek.com and other forums. I think a lot of people feel a certain pride about the brand, because they helped shape the designs and the brand attitude. I like that. It’s “the people’s watch.
How did you get the idea and inspiration for your designs?
I take a lot of inspiration from great watch designs I see – the Zenith El Primero, the Omega Aqua Terra, the Stowa Sea Time, the Patek Philippe Nautilus. All of my designs incorporate some styling cues from other designs, but I still try to make each design original in its own right. They’re not homages or copies of anything else, but they do pay homage with their style.
I never thought about it. Men, I guess, although people keep asking me to make a woman’s watch. I think people tend to look at watches as either being dress watches, or sport watches, but those labels don’t always fit perfectly. I think there are a lot of people who work in more casual environments, and appreciate clothes and accessories with a lot of versatility. That’s the sort of look I’m generally going for with the designs – something that can be dressed up or dressed down.
But they’re affordable watches, so obviously they’re for people who appreciate value. If someone collects Rolexes or Omegas, they may not “get” the brand, with our name and logo. I think of our watches as a smart alternative to the fashion watches or Invictas in the same price range.
So, the target audience – smart people who appreciate value and versatile style, and don’t need a prestigious brand name to enjoy their watch.
What is the essence of your watches and what makes them unique?
I’m not sure. It’s probably for other people to say. For me, I say a lot, “you’re not the boss of me” – I like to do my own thing, and do things my way. I could make another Rolex Submariner homage, but I think that’s boring. There are plenty of RolSub homages already. I try to do different things with my designs, but it’s impossible to always break new ground. Everything’s been done one way or the other.
So I take the styling cues from watch designs I admire and try to re-combine them in a fresh way. It’s almost like I’m commenting on the entire history of watch design, like people liking posts on facebook or instagram – I’m saying, “I like these lugs on this Omega, I like the angular shape of this Stowa, I like this style from the ’70s.” If everything’s been done, then how can I do something differently? That’s a question I try to answer with each design.
What has been the most challenging part of your process?
Without a doubt, dealing with the success itself. I expected criticism, and I was ready for it. I wasn’t prepared for the level of praise that’s been heaped upon me and my brand. People write me messages or comment that I’ve inspired them in some way. I think of myself as a very regular guy, and I’m never really satisfied with anything I do, so it was hard for me to accept that so many people really liked what I was doing. It’s taken me a while to make the appropriate adjustment and accept that this is real, it’s actually happening, and I have to act like the owner of a successful (so far) brand.
That said, I think if the brand is going to continue to be successful, then I can’t lose the attitude that pushed me to do things and gave the brand its attitude. Everything I do, I’m doing for the first time, it’s all a learning experience.
Design is hard too, especially since I haven’t just been making copycat designs. If I was just going to make a RolSub homage, it would be easier. We know what they look like. But I’m always trying to imagine something that doesn’t yet exist – something with a case like this, lugs like that, dial like this, hands like that, but in these colors, in this size, etc, etc.
Where do you want to take Lew & Huey?
Right now I’m still just looking right in front of me, and the long term stuff is somewhat vague. My goal for next year is to sell enough watches that I can do this and only this – the business supports itself and my family. Beyond that, the sky’s the limit, I suppose, but I think there are two very different roads I could go down.
If I want the business to be really huge, it would mean abandoning what’s been driving the success so far – the value, the attitude, staying very close to my customers. I can’t do that if we’re going to sell a hundred thousand watches per year. I’d have to hire designers, outsource fulfillment, hire customer service people, lower my costs, increase my prices, etc. In short, I’d have to go from being a one-man micro-brand to being a corporation – cold, impersonal, analytical.
It sounds great when I think of those huge numbers, and the money that comes with them, but I don’t see myself doing that. Right now I work from home, by myself. My wife and sons help me a little bit, but I don’t need any employees. My business is simple. I figure I could manage it this way up to maybe 6,000 watches per year. I’d make more than enough money, but still have a “lifestyle” business, where I could shut everything down and take a vacation for a week or two, without worrying about what’s going on back at my office.
Money isn’t everything, especially once your basic needs are taken care of. I’m more interested in doing something I enjoy, without feeling pressure from having a boss or shareholders. Right now, I can do whatever I want when it comes to design and how I take care of my customers. My customers and my family are my only stakeholders, and they’re the only ones I think I need to care about.

Coming down heavily on state opposition leaders, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday accused them of "always scheming and plotting" against the state government but being scared to face her or listen to her government's response to their allegations.Both the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) and the Congress dismissed her accusations.I have always seen that they are always busy scheming, conspiring against, or foul mouthing, the Trinamool Congress and spreading confusion inside the house (state assembly). But they are not reasonable enough to listen to our answers. Because they cannot face me," Banerjee told the assembly."They are scared of listening to the government's answers. I want you to check how many times were they (opposition MLAs) present in the house during my speeches. May be just one or two times. It is totally planned," she said.Banerjee hit out against a section of opposition members, whom she accused of constantly trying to interrupt her speech, for resorting to "cheap tactics of creating controversies" to draw attention of the electronic media.
"Their only intention is to come on television. It seems that they do not even come out of their houses if they are not shown on television. These are cheap tactics. If I want I can make television news in every second but that is not my intention," the Trinamool supremo said.Banerjee also attacked Leader of Opposition Abdul Mannan, of the Congress, claiming that he is "over-enthusiastic" in his protest to grab the media attention as he was informed by a local television channel about the live telecast of her speech in the assembly.Referring to the recent bypolls results where both Congress and CPI-M have performed dismally, Banerjee said the leaders of those parties to reflect on their result instead of blaming the ruling party and asked them not to underestimate the people's verdict."They have no shame at all. They cannot keep their mouth shut even for a day after performing so badly. I suggest them not to underestimate people's verdict and belittle them so much," she said.
"...so many people have voted for us. How can they say it was rigged? Observers and central forces were deployed at all the election centres. Are they also our people?" she asked.Responding to Banerjee, Communist Party of India-Marxist's Sujon Chakraborty said opposition parties' duty is to raise the voice for common people and unfortunately, her government does not pay heed to common people's questions."We are compelled to walk out from the assembly. She is happy to speak at the house when opposition members are not present," he said.State Congress President Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said: "We have seen didi's (Mamata Banerjee) development benefitted her party leaders. We raised questions about the development for the unemployed youths of Bengal. Can you reply to what the Congress has been raising?"

If you are anything like me, chocolate chip cookies are pure nostalgia. I hope you enjoy this version with oats and flax.
I draw so much of my inspiration from dining out- try this Duck Salad inspired by one of my favorite Thai dishes.
Most Chinese restaurants use soy sauce that contains wheat, and that can make our Chinese take-out options very slim.
This Almond Cake is great on its own. But really, it’s just a blank canvas for your own creativity. Experiment with it- go nuts!
Is there anything better than a picnic on a gorgeous July day? These recipes are great served at room temperature.

Winter is approaching, and vulnerable communities are yet again to be left out alone facing the blistering cold. For many of us, winter time is a reminiscent of joy and a synonym for family warmth as we sit inside looking at the sight of the peaceful scenery of snowflakes and staring at the cheerful raindrops on the window glass.
However, for hundreds of thousands of refugees and displaced people out there, it is not really the case while living in a field of mud and tattered tents. For them it will be their eighth consecutive winter in displacement, living in flimsy tents and overcrowded camps and makeshift settlements. For many refugees and displaced persons winter stands as a synonym for bottomless misery and dire lack of essential needs. There will be a severe shortage of fuel, food, shelter and clothes, children will starve, sick people will not be able to access medical assistance, and many families will sleep in the open air.
Vulnerable people like women, children and the elderly are the first to be affected by the freezing cold and low temperatures. Their lives will be at risk if no prompt actions are taken to help.
Join Qatar Charity this winter to save the lives of thousands of refugees and displaced persons across the globe. Support the Below Zero campaign and please donate to help vulnerable displaced families survive the cold as we work to provide them with Food baskets, blankets, heaters, medical assistance and proper shelter.

Any idea why it is showing in yum please?
KernelCare updates only security bugs/stability bugs in kernel. It doesn't change the whole kernel.
That is why yum shows available updates.
Thanks Vladimir, yum update gave me the latest.
So, presumably I dont need to restart the server?
There's no need to restart the server when KernelCare is running and updating the running kernel.
