We've done a ton of research on different apartments and this is the best one we could find. The location seems ideal and 1100 euros a week fits nicely into our budget. We were hoping for something with more of a "parisian" feel -- but with a one year old we decided to go with modern convenience. Our only apprehension is that I couldn't find anyone here that has mentioned this company before. Does anyone have any experience with this company or any other suggestions? Thank you!
I don't know the company, but the bed looks awfully small for 2 people in the photo, unless you plan to let the child have it and you take the sofabed?
For what it's worth, rue de Buci is a very busy street, with an everyday street market and a lot of cafes and restaurants nearby. Convenient, but potentially noisy.
I don't think the apt. is on rue de Buci, it just says it is nearby. It appears it is at the corner of rues du Four and Bonaparte.
I would also query on the bed as either they have a very unusual distorted photo or do not know what a queensize bed is (it appears to be only 90 cm or so, a twin size). I would also query on the size of the sofabed as that does not look like a queensize in some of the photos, either, but a small-size sofa. Other than that, looks okay to me, if sterile, it is a very convenient location.
I haven't heard anything about that agency, but it does advertise in a long-established e-newsletter on Paris I receive (Paris Insites). The woman who runs that will usually respond to email queries as I've asked a few things at various times, so you could ask her if she has had any feedback on that company or what she knows about it.
Hi, BKP. I was wondering if you ended up booking the apartment with Paris Apartment Tours. I'm thinking of booking a place with them, but am running into the same problem of not being able to find any reviews about the agency. Thanks for your help!
BKP, I just realized that I'm considering the exact same apartment that you were looking at, so any feedback about the actual apartment would be greatly appreciated, too! Thanks!

You can make these with cement and a fruit shaped ice cube tray. They’re super simple to form and then you just have to paint them the colors that you want.
These DIY wood slice kitchen magnets are great, mostly because you get to put whatever image you want on them. You can paint pictures on them or just leave them blank, or even paint them all the same or different colors all over.
They’re pretty easy to make – although you do need access to a saw of some kind. And, this is a great project to repurpose sticks and twigs from around your yard.

Add some natural color to the sides and front of your fridge with these little wine cork succulent magnets. You make these from wine corks and then hollow them out just a bit to plant your tiny succulents.

I can also recommend the Pink Floyd movie The Wall.
Velvet Revolver, Neil Young.....WHO is coming to Halifax in November and I have tickets to!, Tragically Hip.
Generally I'm listening to Club Music. I have over 1500 tracks and a lot of new works. What I can recommend?
Liz Kay - True Faith (Samuraj Extended Remix) -> new version of old New Order's song. Very nice with very nice vocal.
I love folk rock and power metal, right now I mostly listen to Gregorian, Tanzwut, Fintroll, In Extremo and Manowar.
The most likely thing passing through my ears would be Zappa or Bach (the two greatest composers of all time), with Miles Davis, John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Ravi Shankar or Thelonius Monk being in the second rank. Recently, I've also really been enjoying the more current Amy Mann records -- great music, a great voice and she's an excellent lyricist. But the only kind of music I really don't enjoy is mainstream country music -- I'm pretty sure it causes organic brain damage.
When I visited INL I was seriously perturbed by the size of the country music section in the shops around there.
Amon Amarth, Blind Guardian, Ensiferum, Einherjer, Eluveitie, Turisas, Tyr, Moonsorrow, Nightwish, Tristania, and Sirenia. Pandora has given me a few other bands that I've liked, but I cant remember them all off the top of my head.
Currently The Casualties, Lower Class Brats, The Exploited and Copyright Chaos, among others..
Solas, Bothy Band, Altan, Andy Hunter, Red Shift Mantra, Falling Up, Fireflight, and The High Kings (celtic fans should eviscerate me for that last one).
I can't stand Pink Floyd, partly because I had the misfortune of having to play the music as a laser show at a science center. The younger crowd complained that it was too soft, the older crowd filed complaints against me for having it too loud, it was a no-win scenario and all the while the upper managment was just looking for an excuse to fire me. We offered free ear plugs and cranked it nearly to the legal limit with our imax sound system, but we still couldn't satisfy either group. Either they wanted to be completely deaf by the end of the show or they thought they were going to a classical music concert. I was rejoicing the day we closed the show and shipped all the equipment back.
I would be one of the ones telling you to turn it up.
I'll have some 3 Doors Down playing momentarily.
Lately a lot of stoner rock/ stoner metal, like Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Queens of the Stone Age (my avatar), Slo Burn, Hermano, and Unida. Though I also listen to Nine Inch Nails, Death From Above 1979, and some more techno stuff like Daft Punk and Aphex Twin on occasion. I have an MP3 of a QotSA performance of "The Bronze" fomr the 2001 Bizzare Festival in Weeze, Germany and its freakin' good. I might put in on youtube sometime.

8 July 2014 by .
Let’s continue our path together. Today we want to reflect on an important aspect of the message of the Holy Trinity that we are presenting you.
How do you understand the action of God? As a series of catastrophic, magic, sudden or fragmented events?Well, God acts constantly and harmoniously because He is the Love that generates life and takes the universe to perfection. His fundamental action passes through the vibrations of His life. Every creature catches these vibrations according to his/her uniqueness, degree of interior openness and willingness to accept them or not.
The vibration of the divine life isprogressively increasing in the entire universe. It will get to its highest point when the entire creation is recapitulated in Jesus Christ: those who will have accepted Jesus Christ will be taken into the mystical union with God and will be able to fully receive His vibration; those who will have refused Him, will be weakened and be left to themselves. This is the process of division between good and evil and the transformation and elevation of those who accept God.
When external events take place, they are both fruit and consequence of a process leading us to accept or reject the action of God. This process unfolds inside us and reflects on the outside. By now we are sufficiently informed; no-one can remain undecided. Those who accept the action of God should therefore get involved responsibly. Our inner participation is vital; it flows like a prayer that nourishes our life.
As participants in this great love, we pray for each other’s blessing.
“At the beginning of every important period of human history and when God deems it important, the seven great Archangels are sent into hell to announce Lucifer the plans of God. They burst into hell and make it tremble. In fact, the seven Archangels are extremely powerful and filled with such a divine light that the darkness remains confused and frightened. No demon, not even Lucifer, dares to oppose the seven Archangels when they show up in hell; they know that if they rebel against them, they will be hit by the light.
The light of the Archangels is also their power, a spiritual and physical power, which springs of the Love of God in them and can weaken the infernal spirits to the point of making them inoffensive. The demons have no light in them because they do not possess the Love of God; their power springs from the hatred they harbourtowards God and God’s creatures. Even hatred is a physical and spiritual energy with which the demons endlessly hit man and the creation, causing illness and death; those who have suffered a curse from the infernal forces are well aware of this.Spiritual darkness comes from Lucifer’s hatred and fills many hearts and even creation.
It sometimes happens that the demons rebel and lash out against the angels; these, however, reject them with the power of the light that is love; the demons face an impenetrable wall of light that makes them retreat. Even Jesus used this power of light, though Hiswas much more powerful than that of an angel: the episode of the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane is reported in the Gospel of John. The guards came to arrest Jesus and He asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They answered, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He said to them, “I Am.” When he said, “I Am,” they shrank back and fell to the ground.” (Jn 18:4-6). The powerful light that emanated from the Son of God had made them fall to the ground. The same phenomenon is present in the brothers of the universe faithful to God: from their bodies the power of God’s Love emanates and is visible as an aura of light around them.
It is always St Michael who announces God’s plans to Lucifer even when he is accompanied by the six Archangels.He does so by order of God and on behalf of the whole Mystical Body of Christ. The purpose of this announcement is twofold: on the one hand it serves as a reminder to Lucifer and all the evil spirits that God alone is the Lord of all creation; on the other hand it limits the action of the forces of hell, who know that they can do only as much as God allows them.
St. Michael’s has given this announcement before every visit of Mary Most Holy to Earth. That should make you understand the magnitude of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary and with what respect, gratitude and faith you should welcome them. When hell comes to know about them, it trembles; when people of the Earth come to know, they doubt, laugh, despisethem. Only few people really appreciatethem for what they are: an immense gift of God and an extraordinary grace for the Earth.

Inside Worcester’s Development: What’s the Catch?
Nothing symbolizes the revival under way in Worcester quite as pointedly as the new luxury apartment building at 145 Front Street. The grand unveiling is still a couple of weeks away on the blustery day in January when I come for a tour. The building’s director of operations, Michelle Fontaine, meets me out front, impeccably coiffed beneath a white hardhat, and waves me through a gap in the temporary fence. From the outside, the five-story building is gray, tan, and featureless, an architectural echo of the AC Marriott going up next door. I follow Fontaine through the cavernous garage where residents will park their cars, into the finished concrete lobby where a concierge will sit behind a retro-futurist black desk, and down halls dotted with unfinished extravagances. “This is our yoga room and spin studio”—a space where a rune-patterned accent wall evokes the cover of Dave Eggers’s The Circle while a giant TV plays exercise classes on demand—“and this room is our golf simulator,” she says, pointing to a nook where synthetic grass carpet is still lying in patches on the floor.
We step out into a massive central courtyard, crunching frozen grass. “I know it doesn’t look like much now, but underneath these trellis areas we’ll have grills and a fire pit, and toward where those trees are, that’s going to be an outside fireplace,” Fontaine says, “kind of like an outside living room with TVs and whatnot.” In the middle of it all is a pool. Another lawn will offer a bocce court.
There’s never been another building like this one in Worcester, and some locals wonder whether the 365 units will fill at the unprecedented prices the developer, Roseland Residential Trust, is asking. In a city where the average one-bedroom apartment rents for around $1,000 a month, 145 Front Street will start at $1,345 for a studio, with one-bedrooms starting at $1,625 and two-bedrooms starting at $2,100. A stretch in Worcester, sure, but a steal in Boston—or at least the one-bedroom is a lot less than my husband-to-be and I pay for our charmingly scuffed-up apartment in Jamaica Plain, a 45-minute commute from downtown, and which, need I say, doesn’t come with a golf simulator, a concierge, or a pool.
For the record, I love my sun-drenched apartment (so what if the windows stick and the wiring sometimes goes on the fritz); I love having my neighborhood bar across the street and some of my dearest friends down the block. But as a writer without a trust fund, I’ll never achieve the stability of homeownership in Boston. Sometimes, when it’s late at night—or almost tax season—I calculate how much less I’d have to work if I cut my cost of living by a quarter, or a third. I try to tally what I might be costing myself—in vacations, long-term savings, and peace of mind—by living perpetually at the edge of my means. And then I go on Zillow to some rural corner of New England and slowly surf myself to sleep.
The people who are pouring money into the city of Worcester know that people like me exist. When I asked Joe Donovan, vice president of the Boston-based MG2 Group, how his firm came to invest in Worcester, he said, “We haven’t drawn a direct correlation between downtown Boston and downtown Worcester to say, ‘Look, x percent of people or businesses have relocated from Boston because they got priced out,’ but we try to have a sense of where [rents] appear to be a value compared to the next-closest, comparable urban area.” In other words, skyrocketing prices in Boston have everything to do with MG2’s decision to dump $42 million into eight properties bordering the Common in Worcester, a cluster of blocks they’ve renamed “the Grid District,” which includes more than 500 apartments and tens of thousands of square feet of retail and restaurant space.
For most New Englanders, Worcester’s name still conjures abandoned mill buildings and pallid post-manufacturing gloom. But that reputation is overdue for a revision. In the past decade, the region’s second-largest city has razed and rebuilt its downtown, welcomed dozens of restaurants, and turned hollowed-out factories into trendy art galleries and industrial-chic cafés. In the central blocks known as CitySquare, new buildings shoot skyward behind barriers while banners covering just-finished properties broadcast retail and office space for rent.
Much of the revival has been powered by the typical Gateway City combo of education and medicine, or “eds and meds”: Worcester is home to nine colleges and universities—including Worcester Polytechnic Institute, which has become something of a startup hub—and two hospitals, as well as the UMass system’s medical school, a beacon for biotech firms. But the city has also seen an uptick in manufacturing—for example, the expansion of the iconic Table Talk Pies—and a major increase in culture and tourism, such as the 2016 acquisition of the Worcester Railers, a pro hockey team. CSX Transportation added to the rail yard in town; JetBlue will be flying direct from Worcester to New York’s JFK starting in May; and both major political parties will descend on the self-proclaimed “Heart of the Commonwealth” to stage their state conventions this year. By every metric, Worcester is ascendant: Property values are at an all-time high; officials have courted $2.6 billion in recent construction, with more than $300 million already in the works; and the city is finally drawing new residents after losing them for much of a century, on track to crack 200,000 for the first time since 1950.
Before Worcester could go from bust to boom, Boston had to go from boom to breaking point. When Sarah Shampnois and her friends, all recent graduates of Worcester’s Clark University, founded a theater company in Boston’s South End in 1998, the neighborhood was still a good place to make edgy, unprofitable art. Boston’s historical gayborhood was the most bohemian stretch of blocks north of New York’s East Village, the beating heart of Boston’s creative scene. In the preceding decades, painters and sculptors had transformed the old warehouses lining Harrison Avenue into live-work spaces. Though the neighborhood was changing by the late ’90s, it was still possible to find artists inhabiting airy lofts for around $1,000 a month and fledgling theater companies drawing young crowds.
We’re sitting in the kind of restaurant you find in the South End these days, with exposed-brick walls, copper sconces, and a bar cut from an elegantly knotted piece of blond wood. I’m drinking a glass of red wine that the bartender described as created by “the son of the guy who basically saved Austrian wine,” who swears by “minimal interference in winemaking.” (I don’t know what this means, but the wine is delicious, so I’m pretty sure that it worked.) But of course, we’re not in the South End: We’re in Worcester, where Shampnois recently bought a two-bedroom condo for $85,000—a sum that might cover the cost of a medium-size closet in Boston, provided it isn’t too close to the T.
Shampnois never planned to move back to Worcester. Her life was in Boston, and she’d long ago accepted that the hustle of living there would never yield enough for a down payment on a house. Over the years, she worked a hodgepodge of jobs to afford her life in the theater, the steadiest as a nanny for a family in Newton. By the time the kids grew up and the nanny job ended, Shampnois had moved 13 times to stay a step ahead of climbing rents in Allston, then Cambridge, then finally Jamaica Plain, where she had to take on a roommate to cover the bills. Around the time she turned 40, she realized that getting her own place and making her theater gig full-time mattered more to her than staying in Boston.
That doesn’t mean everyone cosigns the priorities of Worcester’s one-party system, where, as a recent piece in CommonWealth magazine points out, everybody who’s anybody is not only a Democrat but also a protégé of Worcester-born U.S. Representative Jim McGovern. His former staffers include City Manager Augustus, Chamber of Commerce CEO and former Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray, and Mayor Joseph Petty. Critics accuse this clique of being too fast to embrace the future, sometimes at the expense of the city’s past. Across from the 145 Front Street apartments, for example, the spires of Notre Dame des Canadiens stand as proudly as ever despite the church’s broken windows. At one point it was slated for demolition, to be replaced by still more upscale apartments.
Of course, food trucks and bike shares alone won’t put Worcester in competition with Boston. Arguably one of the world’s great cities, Boston has few rivals in the country—and none in New England—when it comes to the fields where Worcester is seeking a foothold, such as education, medicine, and innovation. But Worcester’s chief advantage is Boston’s biggest drawback: the high cost not only of living but also of doing business in the state capital.
Finally, in 2010, Worcester-based Hanover Insurance bought the mall with plans to level it, making way for retail and residential projects that were dubbed CitySquare. The area has since absorbed $565 million in investments—including roughly $90 million in public dollars —that include both the 145 Front Street apartments and the new Marriott.
Though CitySquare is a big piece of the puzzle, this time, “We weren’t looking for one big project that was going to turn things around,” Augustus says. Worcester learned its lesson from the mall. City officials are still chasing big-ticket items—for example, they’re hoping to lure a minor league baseball team, the Pawtucket Red Sox, from Rhode Island—but they were just as eager in interviews to list their small efforts to make Worcester more inviting (read: more like a place people spoiled by Boston might live). The hope is that those projects, and the new bars and restaurants slated for the ground floor at Front Street and in the Grid District, will turn CitySquare into a true 18-hour neighborhood—like Boston’s South End, for example—where office workers loosen their collars at the end of the day and stick around for a bite or a beer, and maybe late into the night. It’s safe to say that the downtown isn’t there yet, but Worcester has the feel of a theme park version of a fresh, modern city—where officials and developers are waiting to see how many people will show up.
In the course of writing this story, I decided I should take the commuter rail to Worcester—to get a taste of what it would feel like to live in one city and work in the other, as power players on both ends hope more of us will soon do. It’s snowing when I wake up on the morning I’d planned to go; I can’t get a cab, Lyft and Uber are surging, and the T, once I trudge there, is running behind. By the time I reach South Station, my train is long gone, and the next one doesn’t leave for an hour and a half. I make the mistake of buying a bus ticket and spend the rest of the morning in I-90 gridlock, lightheaded from exhaust fumes and the caustic chemical smell of that blue liquid Peter Pan puts in its toilets. Four hours after leaving my Boston apartment, I finally arrive in Worcester.
Worcester’s revival may be premised on Boston, but the smaller city’s place in the larger one’s orbit depends on realities Worcester can’t do anything about. Exhibit A: transportation, which is nothing short of abysmal. The drive takes two hours in rush-hour traffic and the train chugs less than 50 miles in around 90 minutes—that is, when it’s running on time. Worcester officials spent years pitching the state Department of Transportation on the idea that they needed an express train if they wanted “millennials to live in Worcester, take advantage of the lower housing costs, hop on the train, and get to a job in Boston,” as DOT CEO Stephanie Pollack has put it. At last, they got their twice-daily, one-hour express train in 2016—but because it shares tracks with local service, the “Heart to Hub” direct line doesn’t leave until the tail end of rush hour. In other words, it does squat for the vast majority of commuters, only about 1,300 of whom take a train every day.
These infrastructural failures make the two cities feel farther apart than they are. Still, some Worcester residents are worried about the impending east–west migration and what it will do to their city when it comes. Cara Berg Powers grew up in Worcester and went to Clark, but she’s worked in Boston all of her adult life, now as the executive director of an arts-related nonprofit, the Transformative Culture Project. She briefly moved to the Hub, but after two years, “overage-ing my bank account every month,” she returned to her hometown, where she and her husband bought a triple-decker for $210,000 six years ago.

Ariño Duglass has added Ambience Warmedge to its range of insulating glass, which has a new insert to replace the previous aluminium metal. These new Warmedge inserts are insulating plastic-stainless steel composites.
The new Ambience Warmedge has improved the thermal performance of insulating glass, as the interior glass temperature is more constant across its surface, thereby reducing the risk of condensation on the edges.
To achieve the highest performance in thermal insulation, Ariño Duglass uses triple glazing, with two gas-tight chambers incorporated in the Ambience insulating glass instead of one. By using triple-glazed glass combined with Ariplak Low E-SP glass and argon gas, thermal insulation U values up to 0.6 W/m2K can be achieved, which makes it a very appropriate product for cold weather. Also, the replacement of the conventional aluminium spacer by a Warmedge insert can itself be replaced by Ambience Tri.
*Consult our Technical department for other dimensions and thickness.

Yes, they both stem from the latin "collatio" which meant collection (bringing together).
The word also exists in french : "collation". It's a small lunch, usually right after an event, or during the night.
I Should expect 'tea' as well as 'dinner' for 'kolację' if you are from North England :) it was presented as an option after all!
What will be the imperative case: "Eat dinner!"
how come obiad can also be called dinner?
My husband who is Polish says obiad should be dinner and kolacja should be supper. There is no lunch.
Polish dinner, or obiad, falls between 2-3pm when most people get home work. It typically is the largest meal of the day. Kolacja is usually a small meal around 7pm.
Nowadays we have both lunch and brunch in Poland. It all depends on the area and lifestyle but in Warsaw it's quite westernized.
What is the difference between kolacja and kolacje?
After the verb "jeść" (to eat) you have to use the accusative (biernik) case: kolację. Other examples: Ona je banana. (She is eating a banana). Ja jem ciastko. (I am eating a cookie). My jemy wielki tort. (We are eating a big cake).
That's used in Britain sometimes... anyways, it's a rather rare option.

BEGINNING in March, cyclists Kristina Stoney and Nic Arney of World By Cycle will ride over 30,000 kilometres and across six continents with the aim of bringing adventure and excitement into classrooms to inspire and educate young people.
The goal is to create a greater awareness about "the story of stuff", and to use the expedition - and the adventures they have along the way - to get children excited about learning.
"'The story of stuff' is all about creating awareness about the ingredients in products and the impact they have on the environment," says Stoney. "By doing so we hope to encourage our audience - both local and those following via the web - to purchase products which are sustainable and have a minimal impact on our environment."
But it is becoming increasingly harder to engage young people on such topics. This is the other goal of their adventure.
"When children first hear of World By Cycle they are completely amazed. They can't believe anyone could 'cycle the world'. Throw in the ability to follow the tour via web video, blogs, Google maps and social media, and they are hooked. Suddenly it's cool to find out about changes in climate, learning about different governments, cultures and also having a mock passport to be stamped as we progress. It will be their 'race around the world' from their classroom."
The touring party - which will include education and media teams - will pass through Australia, Uzbekistan, China, Central and South American and the Carribbean.
To find out more about the World By Cycle and to pledge your support to help get the team around the world, go to WorldByCycle.mobilise.
In Australia the spotlight will focus on the treatment of people and livestock in supplying wool to leading manufacturers.
They will share the story of clothing via interviews with children and families involved in the cotton industry in Uzbekistan, and take an inside-look at bamboo fields and processing plants in China.
In Central and South America the emphasis will shift to environmental conservation models in several manufacturing industries.
And in the Caribbean the connection between people's purchasing decisions and the wider culture as both relate to climate change.

Biodynamic agriculture is concerned with the whole ecosystem of the farm. The goal of a biodynamic farm is that everything needed for the health of the soil, plants, and animals comes from the land. A wide variety of farm animals, wildlife, birds, trees, plants and bugs help to create this self- nourishing model. The ideal is that the various parts of the farm are interconnected and supportive of one another.
We follow the best of organic practices by using compost and companion planting in the place of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. In addition to organic practices, we use sprays prepared from natural materials from the land such as medicinal plants, quartz crystal, and composted manure. These sprays, known as “biodynamic preparations” increase the vitality of the plant and animal life on the farm.
Biodynamic agriculture emphasizes the importance of the farmer's personal relationship with the land. Keen observation, walking the pastures and gardens, and following one’s intuition are vital to the success and quality of biodynamic farming.
After 8 years of learning and applying these biodynamic practices, Foxhollow Farm is in the process of becoming a Demeter certified biodynamic farm.
We are very pleased with what the biodynamic method and philosophy have brought to our land and to our farm community. We look forward to expanding our understanding and practice of this profound approach to farming and land stewardship.

I would say that you haven't been conned. While it is almost certainly not a real go pro, that doesn't mean that it will be bad. It might even be decent! But, no, that's not a real go pro. The question here is "are you getting what you paid for?" The answer is "probably!"
MMMM 10 available and 75 sold.??
Let us know what comes in and when.
I bet you receive a product. GoPro probably demanded the auction listing be pulled as was their right for counterfeit products.
KKarioKA sent me a link to that camera, and I didn't have the cash anyway - but it was too good to be true.
Well the situation is that the listing was pulled by ebay, but twenty minutes later it was showing that it had been dispatched so we will wait to the end of february and i will let you know!!!!!
I bought that camera too; but one day later ebay asked me if i wanted my money back and I accepted.
I can;'t remember but is it 60 or 90 days you have to charge fraud on a credit card? And did you use a Credit Card? Not a bank card which means your money is gone the moment after you hit purchase.
Haha i wonder what you will get!
That is complete crap! But, at least you got your money back.
Karma is going to catch that douchebag some day.
Oh no you're not... we're not done saying "I told you so" yet.
Glad to hear it worked out for you. Is he still a seller on Ebay? Or did he close shop and open under a different name?

Responsible to capture this on tape was once again Lawrence Mackrory (Darkane, F.K.Ü). This time things where stepped up a notch as the recording took place in the famous Dugout studios in Uppsala where Daniel Bergstrand also added some spice to the infernal stew. In the land where the craft is polished to resemble something else than brute reality, Lik has no passage as this entity is devoted to make a permanent mark in those who lay down their souls to rock ‘n’ roll. That’s why the recipe will always, and has always been, to record as much live as possible. Keeping editing to a minimum offers a “what your hear is what you get” experience. That’s why it feels like you’re on the spot at a live gig, rather than a calm studio environment when you spin the disc.
With a gained traction as a live band, Lik has played major European festivals like Finlands Tuska Open Air, MetalDays in Slovenia and Gefle Metal Festival in their home country of Sweden. The entity has also done numerous shows with bands like Overtorture and Swallow The Sun. With 2017 being the most hectic year in the band’s history live, the goal is to play even more in 2018, spreading the tunes to a larger audience.

Perhaps that's the motivation the team needed-the sound of their hometown crowd in their ears-as they fought to outlive last year's great defeat, and win the National Basketball Association championship for the second time in three years under head coach Steve Kerr .
He described Hodgkinson as "calm" and "quiet" and said he wasn't on his radar for something like this. He was tended to by fellow lawmakers, including Brad Wenstrup, a congressman who is a physician, before being transported to a hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
Davis said he and some fellow lawmakers fled the scene after hearing the gunshots. "While I was not at the practice this morning, I want to thank and commend the first responders and the Capitol Police officers on site who helped bring an end to this terrible act".
The shooting occurred at a popular park and baseball complex where Republican lawmakers and others were gathered for a morning practice about 7 a.m. Trent Kelly, who was playing third base, from outside the fence. While police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said it was too early to determine whether it was a deliberate political attack, the shooting intensified concerns about the sharp divide and bitter rhetoric in USA politics.
Will shooting of a congressman be a turning point for unity?
He said one of his legislative correspondents was shot. A statement from the White House says 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Ill. The staff member is receiving medical attention, according to Williams. Police initially tweeted that the suspect was among five people transported to the hospital, though Alexandria Police Chief Michael Brown later refused to confirm that.
Only the leaders of Congress get security details. He later died of his injuries, President Donald Trump told the nation from the White House. The proper channels for such disagreements are the ballot box, free speech that entitles us to voice our disagreements, our institutions of checks and balances and values that say we can have such disagreements and all be equally American.
Hodgkinson, who is from IL, is dead. The shooter volunteered on the failed presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders , who issued a statement denouncing the violence, and had several previous minor run-ins with law enforcement.The Belleville News-Democrat reported that Hodgkinson belonged to several anti-Republican and anti-Trump Facebook groups.
Ryan said in a floor speech. Scalise was shot in the hip and some of his security team members were also reportedly wounded. "There was a big oak tree behind me, there's bark flying off the oak tree". "This is exactly why there's a lot of fear of even doing town halls at this point", he said. "This is a game where Republicans and Democrats come together and put fellowship and bipartisanship ahead of party politics", said Democratic Sen.
The president has also spoken to House Speaker Paul Ryan , Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Congressman Scalise's chief of staff. "An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us", Ryan said , to prolonged applause. A uniformed officer got out of a vehicle, drew a handgun and shouted something to the assailant, she said. "I am sickened by this despicable act", he said.
Police have confirmed they were investigating a shooting involving several people. After firing on co-workers, he turned a gun on himself when confronted by police, according to NBC Bay Area and ABC 7. The Congressional Baseball game for charity will take place as planned on Thursday. In a statement, Texas Rep. Roger Williams, one of the team's coaches, said one of his staff members, legislative correspondent Zack Barth, was shot during the incident and is receiving medical attention.
The bill allows to MA cities and towns to block aspects of the marijuana law through a vote of the city council and approval of the city or town's chief executive, like a mayor or town manager, rather than the referendum process laid out in the voter-approved law.

We want Rajeev to do well. Harris doesn't love his wife. All my efforts proved of no avail. Alison told me he was going to commit suicide. Syed believed that John was his brother. I should've followed your advice. Saqib and I ran into each other at the airport. I had loads of fun. The two teams fought very hard. He achieved his aim at last.

I am still clumsy catching batons thrown high up. Every nunnery has its own rules. Wrong. I'm not nervous. Deb cleaned the room. Siping appears to have hanged himself. I thought that went quite well.

The roast lamb is very good. Well? Will you come? Why not live it up? You can't die if you're already dead. I had lunch at a bakery. His bravery is worthy of praise.
He adapted his plan to the new situation. Monty believes Lui made the right decision. I would rather die than yield. They arrested him. But for my family, I would not work so hard. His dog was running in the yard. It won't just happen overnight. Would people complain about that? He dwelt on the complexities of modern life. With just a little more effort, he would have succeeded.
It wasn't my fault. I prefer to be in my own comfort zone. Who can I talk to? He ought to pass the examination, for he is very capable. I don't know and I don't care. I don't have an answer at this time. We can help you find her. Lee was elected to the Senate in 2008. Do you like only the boys? I know bits and pieces of many foreign languages, but am fluent in none.
Jinny was sitting alone in a corner booth, eating his lunch. I don't want to spend my vacation shut-up inside. This mystery has a plot twist that's completely novel. They don't know my name. Lord wasn't happy with Lar's answer. Can we do it another time? Tell him what you told me. Anita's no good at small talk, and finds it hard meeting new people. I'd like you to stay and help me clean up. Who is this strikingly handsome young man?

California Vehicle Code 21058 is intended to protect patients who live in rural areas that may go to hospitals that do not have doctors on staff at all hours of the day and night. There are numerous situations when a doctor may be needed at legitimate emergencies, and getting there fast is essential. If there's a shooting victim, a car accident patient or a woman with labor complications, at a rural hospital it's important to get a doctor to the operating room fast. In rural areas the on-call surgeon may live 15 or 20 miles away from the hospital and it's important for that surgeon to be able to get there in a hurry without worrying about legal repercussions. There are still many rural hospitals in California that still rely on the on-call physician for emergencies.
This law was not designed to give doctors a "get out of jail free" excuse. There are still stipulations as to when the law applies. First, the doctor must be going to a legitimate emergency. Having dinner reservations, or being late to the airport will not constitute an emergency. Second, the doctor must maintain a reasonably safe speed. There is no excuse for driving recklessly, and doctors who cause harm to another person while speeding to an emergency will still be held accountable for their actions. Lastly, the doctors cannot allow someone else to borrow their car for the purposes of using the CMA sticker. This law only applies to a vehicle that is registered to a licensed doctor; if that vehicle is being used by the doctor; while the doctor is on his or her way to a real emergency.
This law does not prevent an officer from pulling over a doctor. The doctor must show that he or she is on their way to an emergency. While most officers will probably not question a licensed physician, an officer that questions the authenticity of the emergency can still issue a citation. The physician would not be held accountable, and would not have to pay the ticket upon showing the court proof of the emergency. However, the doctor will have lost valuable time getting to the emergency while the officer is writing the ticket.
There has been some debate between the California Medical Association (CMA) and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) over the necessity of this law. The CHP argues that the law, which was passed in 1954, is outdated and no longer necessary. The CMA argues that in rural areas the law is still needed and could save lives. For now, the law is still on the books and the CMA regularly gives stickers to licensed physicians to use in case of emergencies.

DAPHNE, Ala. – Noemi Zaharia is an Olympic medalist, world Universiade champion, successful former collegiate swimming coach and now an athletics administrator. She now has another title: doctoral student at the United States Sports Academy.
Zaharia’s impressive swimming record includes two medals in swimming at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, winning silver in the 400 meter mixed and bronze in the 200 meter mixed for Romania. She also won five gold medals, two bronze medals and MVP honors in swimming at the 1987 Summer Universiade in Yugoslavia. She also competed in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. She is currently director of the Aquatic and Fitness Center at Miami (Fla.) Dade College and is pursuing her Doctor of Education degree in sports management from the Academy.
“The education I am receiving from the Academy is priceless as it is focused on sports management, and the professors are very knowledgeable in sports and education,” Zaharia said.
“Having a curriculum that is strictly focused on sports is exceptional as it offers a multitude of angles and aspects of sports. Earning my doctoral degree will allow me to teach, to inspire, and educate the future coaches, physical educators, and sports professionals.
“The online program offered by the Academy has made it possible for me to earn my degree. Due to my very busy schedule I don’t have the time to attend classes in person and, as an Olympian, I am an overachiever who likes to complete my tasks at my own pace, which the on-line program allows me to do,” she said.
Born Noemi Lung in Baia Mara, Romania, Zaharia moved to the United States in 1990. Because of her impressive swimming resume, she was given the opportunity to coach the sport at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) while she pursued her education. Zaharia earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from FAU and a master’s degree in sport and fitness administration from Florida International University (FIU).
After graduation, she married Olympic handball player Christian Zaharia and lived in Europe for some time. She later returned to the United States, where she was asked to return to FAU to continue working as a swimming coach. She was named associate head coach for FAU’s men’s and women’s teams.
In 2002, Zaharia was hired to start a new Division I women’s swimming team at Florida International University, serving as the head swimming and diving coach.
She also worked with as the technical programs director for the American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA), where she certified swimming coaches, developed teaching materials, and created a historical video of the history of the four Olympic swimming strokes, working with the International Swimming Hall of Fame historians.
She also coached a recreational swimming team in Miami Shores for 14 years, coaching youth swimmers to be ready for the sport at the high school level.
Zaharia left FIU to take her current position as director of the Aquatic and Fitness Center at Miami (Fla.) Dade College, where she has been instrumental in developing and implementing college wide wellness center rules and procedures including online membership registration. As the co-chair of the Wellness Committee, she organized and conducted yearly “Wellness Month” events to promote healthy lifestyles for students and employees. She coordinates college-wide activities for employees, such as the Susan G. Komen walk/run and employee wellness fairs. She is also the supervisor for the FIU internship site, where she oversees, evaluates and mentors students to graduation.
“My ultimate dream as an athlete was to be an Olympian and win a medal,” she said.

Business Intelligence is the ability to turn data into information. It is the ability to collect data from various departments, applications or entities and merge them into one central collection, giving you a full view of the information at hand. Seems to be simple enough but in the majority of circumstances it never is and poses a real challenge. Incomplete or unreliable data, complex structures or multiple sources of data are just some factors that complicate the output of our information.
More often than not businesses end up having multiple reports which do not give an actual scenario of the company and its performance but a mere breakdown of the data collected from each source.
Business Analytics is the aftermath of Business Intelligence. It is the concept of forecasting and taking decisive decisions that will affect your business in the future based on the findings that are being presented to you.
In a way Business Intelligence provides you with information that is available now and Business Analytics helps you react on that information and grow your business.

Speaking of being in creative mode, I made a batch of negroni for my oak barrel, and in a few weeks I'll be having my first taste of my own home-made barrel-aged negroni.
It's super simple: Get an oak barrel (I got this one), fill it with water to let the staves expand and make sure there are no leaks, empty it, fill it with your drink of choice, and let it sit for several weeks.
I just filled mine. Will check in each week for the next 3-6 weeks and see when I think it's ready.

Like me, Richard Roeper is a native of the south side of Chicago. He was born and raised in Dolton (IL) and attended Thornridge High School and Illinois State University. He began working as a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1982.
Roeper gained national fame when he teamed with Roger Ebert on Ebert and Roeper at the Movies. Roeper also has written several best-selling books.
I approached Roeper about appearing in our Newspaper in Education (NIE) literacy ad series. Although technically we worked for the same company, it was a bit unusual to have any sort of cross-promotion between the newspapers.
I explained the concept and the value he would bring to the program and Roeper agreed fairly quickly. It was a big deal to get Roeper, especially at this time, since he was gaining national exposure and popularity each day.
Roper's ad also features a plug for his book 10 Sure Signs a Movie Character is Doomed. Adding the book plug obviously was an extra incentive to appear in the series, but it was also a way to get some current pop culture into our newspaper.
Roeper was a local guy who gained national (and international) fame. Getting him for the ad series added a lot to the ad series.
I didn't get on an airplane until I was 17 years old - but as a child I traveled all over the world and I traveled through the magic of reading. Books took me to places and introduced me to characters that continue to live in my imagination, and to this day, reading is as integral to my daily routine as breathing and walking.

Each year contaminated food sickens 48 million Americans and causes 3,000 deaths. As the recent federal sequester highlights, Americans depend on programs that inspect food to ensure a safe food supply. Unfortunately for those who run small farms in New England, the costs of complying with the confusing jumble of federal and state food safety laws can be daunting.
In Maine, nine towns — Brooksville, Sedgwick, Penobscot, Blue Hill, Trenton, Hope, Plymouth, Livermore and Appleton —have passed ordinances allowing food producers and processors to sell their goods directly to consumers without state or federal oversight, exempting them from licensing and inspection laws. These ordinances have created controversy and have landed at least one Maine farmer in court.
The legal issue arises from the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The clause states that Congress shall have power to regulate commerce among the several States. Congress has long used this authority to regulate the safety of food products placed into inter-state sales. The states can separately regulate food safety of products produced and sold solely within state borders. Maine’s Constitution similarly provides that state laws take precedence over local ordinances that frustrate the purpose of a state law.
Recently the State of Maine sued a farmer from Blue Hill Maine. The farmer had been selling unlabeled, unlicensed raw milk at his farm stand under a town ordinance, the Local Food and Community Self Governance Ordinance. Under state law, however, the farmer could not sell his milk without a license and without labeling the raw milk as unpasteurized; he also could not operate a food establishment without a license. The farmer maintained that his sales were legal under the Blue Hill ordinance, which exempts local food vendors from state licensure and inspection, provided they sell their products directly to consumers.
The court’s ruling makes sense in terms of following constitutional law principles and the existing food safety legal regime. The bigger policy issue not addressed by the legal decision is whether the current food safety regulatory structure is one that prices small scale farmers focused on local markets out of business. We think this is an important issue to address and are actively working on it as part of CLF’s Farm and Food Initiative.

Well howdy! How do you do? This little strawberry would like to welcome you to her patch! It's a pretty great place to spend an afternoon—everything is lush, green, sweet, and fun! She's basically the head strawberry around here, and she's the perfect addition to any summer festival, school play, or even a night spent trick-or-treating!
Sure, you could argue that other fruit costumes are just as cute, but why would you try? This Girl's Strawberry Sweetie Costume has all the charm of dressed-up dramatic flair, but it is also made to look like a sweet lil' strawberry. And if there is one thing your girl loves more than anything else, it's strawberries! She'd even opt for 'em over chocolate (whoa! That's really saying something). So give her the best of both worlds—fancy flair and cute fruit—and let her become her favorite treat this Halloween. She may thank you by saving a special place for you in the strawberry patch!
This is a berry-red dress, speckled with allover "seeds" and featuring a shimmery, sheer mesh layer over the skirt. There's a defined waist, a fitted bodice, and a nifty green leaf collar adorned with strawberry blossoms. The headband matches this detail, and the overall look is sweet and snazzy! Dress the whole family up as wholesome fruit and veggies, or just let this little one delight all on her own. It's a foolproof costume, any way you slice it!
Fresh strawberries are rare come October, so your little girl will be a welcomed sight amidst the gourds, dried corn, and hay bales! And who knows, as she rings doorbells to trick-or-treat, her fresh appearance may just earn her an extra piece of candy or two. Of course, she'd rather have fruit snacks, but she's not picky!
