Who is Adrian “Covan” Kowanek?
Adrian “Covan” Kowanek was the former lead vocalist of the death metal bands Atrophia Red Sun and Decapitated, had the chance to tour with the technical death metal band Sceptic, and performed concerts all over the world. He always had a good sense of humor, he was curious about the world around him and an extraordinary yet quite normal guy.
On October 29, 2007, the touring bus of the Polish death metal band Decapitated collided with a logging truck on a forest-lined roadway near the Belarus-Russia border. As a tragic result, the drummer Witold “Witek” Kiełtyka (23 years old) passed away four days later on November 2nd, 2007 and Adrian, the vocalist, was severely injured and was transported back to Poland where he underwent a highly complex neo surgical operation, at the University Hospital in Krakow. His eight-hour surgery initially proved a success. Thirty-six hours later, his situation took a turn for the worse: With no one attending his bedside, he experienced breathing problems so when the hospital staff became cognizant of his situation, they placed him into an induced coma. Due to the severe lack of oxygen supply, Adrian suffered both cardiac arrest and cerebral hypoxia, an impairment of brain function due to low oxygen levels in the blood. After six months, he is finally brought back home.
Three years back, the family scheduled Adrian to undergo specialized cell treatment at a clinic in Germany first, then another one in China but both German and Chinese governments had to close the clinics. The Kowaneks didn’t lose their faith and hope, especially when Adrian shocked them talking few little words such as “Hello, Yes, No, Eat” and squeezed Leszek’s hand. “We would like to purchase a hyperbaric chamber for Adrian, which is very costly and without the help of a donation it won’t have a chance to be successful. Thankfully, a portion of this money has already been collected when we had planned for the cell treatment “, Leszek stated.
Adrian and his family won’t make it alone. Lots of bands supported them as Morbid Angel, Decapitated, Ogotay, Deicide, Vader, Ragehammer, Pandemonium, and more.
On February 2, 2015, Adrian tested ‘Cyber Eye’ program to communicate with the environment using a computer, thanks to a large part of the funds collected by the crew of Rock’n’Roll tattoo and the people who supported Covan.
The family would like to transfer him from a present trauma to a normal life and improve his house conditions (replace old equipment, install a lift, etc…) and in order to do so, they need our help.

Some homeowners are being impacted by GST and AirBNB. We have put together a blog covering some of these issues to ensure that people think carefully before becoming an AirBNB host.
AirBNB is proving to be a very popular way of generating some spare cash for homeowners with spare bedrooms. The online platform has been growing exponentially worldwide and many New Zealanders are also taking advantage of it. It’s causing quite a bit of disruption in the hospitality industry.
Residential rentals don’t attract GST as residential rent is specifically excluded in the legislation. Inland Revenue refer to it as an “exempt supply”.
As a result, a lot of people think that income from AirBNB is also exempt from GST. After all, they are offering accommodation in a residential home.
They view AirBNB transactions as offering accommodation on a short-term basis. Your guests won’t be occupying the house as their “primary place of residence”, a key part definition of the term “dwelling” . As such, its highly likely that by offering AirBNB, your “dwelling” will become a commercial operation.
At present, the compulsory threshold for registering for GST is $60,000, so if your income from AirBNB is likely to exceed this amount during any 12 month period, you must register.
This will mean accounting for GST on the money your receive through AirBNB, and filing a GST return two-monthly or six-monthly.
That all seems fair enough, but there are other considerations.
What if I’m already GST registered?
If you are already GST registered as a sole trader for another unrelated activity, and you own your home in your own name, your AirBNB income would become part of your GST activity.
That would mean that your home would fall into the GST net.
Very careful consideration is needed by anyone contemplating AirBNB in these circumstances.
You would be entitled to claim back the GST costs paid when you acquired your home. There are some very specific rules around just how much you can claim with each GST return. The amount of GST that can be claimed is determined on the percentage of business use.
If your home is owned by a Trust or a company, there may be a requirement to charge a “deemed market rental” for a proportion of the home dedicated to private use. GST would be charged on this figure.
If you trigger the GST threshold but subsequently decide to stop offering AirBNB accommodation, you would probably decide to deregister from GST.
You’d file a final GST return and that would be the end of it. Right?
Wrong. Even though you haven’t sold your house, you trigger an obligation to pay GST on the market value of your home. That could be a great deal of money.
Of course if you happen to sell your home, the same rules would apply.
The exception here is if you sold your home to someone who is also GST registered and the purchaser continued to use the property as a “taxable supply”. In this case the transaction would be zero rated for GST.
Registering for GST has very significant consequences, some of which might be unintended. We strongly recommend you seek advice on this matter.
This article is specific to GST. There are income tax considerations with AirBNB which we will cover in another blog. This article is general in nature and current at the time of publication. You should always seek advice specific to your circumstances.

During winter when the weather cools , I look forward to Rasam a nourishing South Indian soup. Everyone in my family is down with cold and this Ginger Lime Rasam is my favorite remedy~ Ginger, Lime and other ingredients in the Rasam have the ability to cure cold. There are many variations of Rasam with each ingredient imparting different flavors. I especially love the Ginger which has a subtle taste in this preparation.
Rasam with Chicken varuval was our dinner yesterday~A a perfect combination to enjoy.
FYI: Ginger is commonly used to treat various types of “stomach problems,” including motion sickness, morning sickness, colic, upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, as well as loss of appetite.
Other uses include treating upper respiratory tract infections, cough, and bronchitis.Fresh ginger is used for treating acute bacterial dysentery, baldness, malaria, poisonous snake bites, rheumatism, migraine headache, and toothaches.Dried ginger is used for chest pain, low back pain, and stomach pain.
Dry grind the ingredients given for Rasam powder.
Make a smooth paste of ginger and tomato.
Now combine the paruppu thani//diluted dhal water, cilantro, curry leaves, tomato ginger paste and rasam powder. Gently squeeze with your hands the ingredients to combine well and to bring the flavors of the fresh ingredients.
I normally cook about a 1/2 cup of Toor dhal with 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder for Sambar and when cooked, I add about 4 cups of water to the dhal. The dhal settles down leaving a clear soup on top. I then use the clear soup to make Rasam.
Seasoning at the end is optional. You can season in a kadai and then add the combined rasam and bring to a boil. Amma insists seasoning at the end.
Really very soothing when having cold & during winters too. I feel Rasam is quite close to Tom Yum in terms of this!
Very flavorful n lovely rasam,nice clicks!!
adding ginger gives nice aroma and taste...perfect for this season!
very nice and unique recipe.Great variation from the regular milagu rasam that I prepare.
Super comforting and flavourful rasam..
My vote goes to rasam always and with ginger it is a winner. Perfectly presented and nice clicks.
I love this a lot, always want to make it :) Lovely presentation!
Cilantro, what an excellent recipe! I can confidently say this cured my cold . I have never tried rasam with lime juice and ginger and now I am never going to stop.
Hi Cilantro. Thank you so much for all your delish recipes! I love them!

We Heart It, an image-sharing site used by 40 million teens as of a couple of years ago, is informing users their personal data may have been compromised. The company was alerted to a possible security breach last week that involved over 8 million accounts, it said on Friday. The breach took place a few years ago and includes email addresses, usernames and encrypted passwords for We Heart It accounts created between 2008 and November 2013.
Although the passwords were encrypted, they are not secure, the company notes.
“…the encryption algorithms commonly used to encrypt passwords in 2013 are no longer secure due to advancements in computer hardware,” reads a We Heart It blog post detailing their findings.
The company adds that, since that time, it has made improvements to its systems, security protocols, password security and its database.
It has also taken the immediate step to encrypt all current users’ passwords with additional encryption using the secure bcrypt algorithm. This process was still underway at the time of the announcement.
Over the weekend, We Heart It sent out emails to affected users to alert them to the breach.
Users are being asked to change their password if it has not been updated since 2013, as well as change that password on any other site where it’s been re-used.
Unfortunately, the company did not proactively reset users’ passwords on their behalf, as many companies do following a security breach involving account information.
However, We Heart It says that it has not found any evidence of unauthorized logins or wrong doing at this time.
We Heart It today operates two apps in addition to the We Heart It website. Its service allows users to find and save images they love like fashion inspiration, photography, wallpapers, quotes, and more, similar to Pinterest. A couple of years ago, the company released a second app, Easel, to create images and quotes using your own photos or those a pre-set selection. These apps are primarily used by teenaged girls and young adults, ranging in age from 15 to 24, and the majority (80-90%) of whom use the service via mobile.
The We Heart It app is not quite as popular as it once was. In 2015, the app was ranked in between the 40’s through 60’s in the Top Social Networking apps list on the U.S. App Store. Today, it’s ranked #85, according to App Annie.
Though nowhere near as significant in size and scale as some of the data breaches we’ve seen in recent months, like the Equifax breach or the Yahoo one, the We Heart It breach is a reminder that even old apps you’ve since abandoned can come back to haunt to you years later.

One of the Made in Italy worldwide key-player, Lema through its Contract division has been chosen by the prestigious Hilton Hotels & Resorts to furnish the new Hilton London Bankside hotel, situated in the heart of the Bankside area, just a stone’s throw away from Globe Theatre, Borough market and Tate Modern gallery.
Perfect mix between design and comfort, the new building of 292 rooms opened on November 26, developed on a project by Twenty2Degrees architects and the collaboration with Arcacia Consulting Ltd project management, is part of the process of exciting urban renewal that is affecting the whole Bankside neighborhood.
For this new unique project that reflects the vibrant character of Bankside, in the architecture and interior design, Lema has signed all the fixtures and furniture of all the rooms and suites included the presidential suite (doors, boiserie, TV wall units, bed sets, walk-in closets, wardrobes, desks, bathroom furniture, armchairs, desk chairs) as well as part of the common areas.
An exclusive supply designed and fabricated ad hoc in the plant of Giussano, headquarters of Lema Contract division which, thanks to the work of a team of experts that interfaces with architects and designers, is able to cater to both consumers and trade professionals.
For Hilton London Bankside, the company has also provided a series of furniture such as tables, chairs (like the Lucy chair also used for the hotel restaurant), night tables, console derived from the proposals of Lema Casa catalogue, thus confirming the strength of Lema Group that lies in the synergy between the two divisions, exploiting then the peculiarities of mass production next to the advantages offered by a tailoring design.
Lema has been therefore the ideal choice for the newest member of the Hilton family, confirming in this way its role as a strategic partner for major supplies to multi -apartment, hotel industry and any other expression of the contract.
Hilton London Bankside has become part of the increasingly rich portfolio of Lema projects in the UK.
A positive trend due to the opening in London in March 2015 of the first flagship store managed by the company, a prestigious space in the heart of Chelsea, that is dedicated to the description of the two divisions of the Group, Lema Casa and Lema Contract.

Our business is affected by healthcare reform just like yours. Of the 2.7 trillion dollars spent on healthcare, over two-thirds of the expenditure is going towards salaries and wages—that productivity in healthcare has been negative year over year. Simply put: the US is not getting it’s money’s worth.
There are many factors that contribute to the lack of alignment between spending and outcomes: 1) Unnecessary admissions 2) Unnecessary readmissions 3) Unnecessary doctor visits and referrals 4) Unnecessary tests, just to name a few.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is expected to add about 30 million new patients to the healthcare system. Addressing the needs of these new patients by simply adding more labor will only increase healthcare spending and further reduce productivity without correcting the underlying problems such as those outlined above.
The ACA, HITECH Act, and the Health Data Initiative are designed to mitigate these challenges. They are intended to make the US healthcare system more productive and reduce health care costs for employers and consumers.
As we all navigate and usher in the reform in our healthcare it is our responsibility to find new and creative ways to service our clients and keep them informed about the opportunities. We know these opportunities start with good, clear communication of the changes to the employees that work for your employers. Communications of benefits is only going to become a more critical component of effectively managing benefits. Voluntary benefits and gap coverage be can be utilized effectively for those groups that are thinking about adopting Health Savings Accounts for their employees.
Remember, when change occurs it creates tremendous opportunity to find new creative solutions, and, in most cases, those changes can create positive economic benefits for both your employers and their employees.

Want to make a quick buck? Grab a level designer for a classic arcade series, make up some uninspired, confusing new levels, throw in a couple of pointless gameplay "twists," and slap the old logo on a DS game box. Voila! Nostalgia-filled gamers will come thronging.
So it goes, sadly, with Bubble Bobble: Double Shot, the latest, half-assed retread of a game that - let’s face it - hit its peak in 1988. Gameplay is pretty much what you remember from previous Bubble Bobble incarnations: you take command of a cute, dinosaur-like thingy, jump around a lot, and blow bubbles at enemies to trap and kill them.
The twist this time is that there are three different dinosaurs you can play, each of a different color. Some enemies are only vulnerable to bubbles from a certain color dinosaur, and some require a particular combination of colors to kill. Problem is, unless you’re playing co-op with two friends, this extra layer screws up the core Bubble Bobble formula with unnecessary complexity. Now, instead of having fun with the simple act of trapping and killing enemies, you’re forced to constantly cycle dinosaurs with the right shoulder button, always wondering what combination of colors will get the result you want.
But Double Shot’s problems go beyond misguided gameplay tweaks. Of the game’s 100 levels, the majority are either totally uninspired or ridiculously difficult. While they span both of the DS’s screens, making them larger than previous Bubble Bobble levels, more does not equal better. Also, Double Shot shoehorns in a variety of lame mini-games that you must complete if you want to continue playing after you die. And while we’re talking about continues, why on earth does Double Shot not have some form of save-game/password system so that players can turn off their DS’s and come back to their games later? For a game designed for portables not to have that kind of functionality is simply inexcusable.
If you’re a die-hard Bubble Bobble fan (and you have a couple friends to co-op with), you might find a few smiles in Double Shot. Everyone else should stay away.
Description It can't be good when the words "tacked-on" jump to mind as soon as the game spouts the words "touch screen minigames."

A quick way to obtain a basic report card on your practice can be found by calculating the full-time equivalent (FTE) number of optometrists and staff members and then expressing those values in relation to financial production. I use the FTE numbers to get a rough idea if a practice is producing a high level of revenue (total sales) and also to determine if it has the correct number of employees. It’s really easy, so take a minute and do some rough calculations for your practice.
Full-time equivalence is simply a way to count the number of workers in an organization even when some are full-time and some are part-time. We use a 40 hour work week as the standard for full-time status, even though the legal definition may vary on that. Another way to look at full-time is five days of work per week at eight hours each day.
As an example, let’s determine how many FTE staff members you have working in your office by adding up the typical hours per week each person works. This includes all employees who are not doctors. Let’s suppose you have four full-time staff members and three part-time. The full-timers work 40 hour weeks, two part-timers work 15 hours per week and the third part-timer works 20 hours per week. The total hours for all seven employees is 170. Divide this weekly hour total by 40 hours and we get an FTE of 4.25. This means that this practice has 4.25 full-time employees.
A practice with five optometrists, with each one working 15 hours per week, has 1.87 full-time equivalent ODs. The total OD hours worked per week is 75, divided by 40, equals 1.87.
We can look at national data to determine the median collected gross revenue for a practice with one full-time OD. The Management and Business Academy pegs that at about $686,000 per year and the AOA data is close to that as well. That is the middle range of gross revenue per OD FTE, but what is the high end? It is debatable, but I would use the round figure of $1 million. I know many practices that exceed that figure on a per-OD FTE basis, but it is a good yardstick for a highly productive practice.
Now that you have determined how many FTE optometrists you have in your practice, all you need is your collected gross revenue for last year and you can compare how you are doing. Divide your annual collected gross revenue by your optometrist FTE; if it is above $686,000, you are producing above the mid-earning practice. If it is close to the $1 million mark, you are in the very top echelon of production.
If your revenue per FTE OD is less than you would like, what can you do about it? Well, determine what the problem is. Do you need more patients because the schedule is not very full? Do you need to be more efficient in order to see some of your backlog of appointments? Do you have too many doctors and if one left the practice, the remaining docs could still see all the patients?
You can do the same calculation for your employees. I like to see the collected gross revenue per FTE staff member at about $135,000. The normal value for this metric is sometimes cited as high as $150,000. This statistic is tricky because unlike the OD production, where the higher the revenue number the better, I don’t want to see the production number per staff person too high or too low. If the revenue per staff member FTE is lower than $135,000, there is a good chance you have too many staff and if the number is above $150,000 you may be understaffed. Both are bad. A very high production per staff person many not simply mean you are doing awesome; it could mean you have a stressed-out staff with poor customer service and a low amount of delegation. In that case, you may not be able to sustain that high production.

Depending on the size and design of the tile, you may need to do some cutting. A manual snap cutter is easy to use if you need to cut straight lines on ceramic or porcelain tiles. For glass, other natural stones, or large tiles you�ll need to use a wet saw, which requires a certain amount of DIY comfort. If you have any doubts about your ability to use a wet saw, consider hiring a professional.

Each May, the annual Medieval Congress is held in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This year, I joined a panel of bloggers organized by Kisha Tracy and John Sexton to think about how we use the medium of blogging to share our work and our passion about medieval culture.
Kisha and John blog at MassMedieval, updating folks about things medieval in the context of the Massachussets State University system but also medieval, and sometimes personal, topics more broadly. John made a comment at the panel that I think captures the particular blending of the personal and the academic in the blogosphere–‘We are medievalists, and people too.” We are all learning how to navigate those identities.
Beth Anderson will help your heart soar with a sonnet a day from Petrarch at her blog Voi che ascoltate. She presents a sonnet (a lyrical 14-line poem) in modern English and Italian and gives insights into the poem, making connections to contemporary ideas about love, friendship, books, common sense, and much more.
Peter Konieczny and Sandra Alvarez are professional bloggers with the amazing blog medievalists.net, which carries the tag line: where the middle ages begin. At their site you can read essays, watch videos, read reviews and find out about, well, just about everything in the juncture of the medieval and the contemporary, both in academia and in popular culture.
Shaundra Lamaute shared some info about her site Beyond Borders, a collaborative blog by several medieval art historian colleagues. As an art historian, she is particularly interested in the intersection of text and image. The most recent post is about the beautiful, intricate ceiling of the Rosslyn Chapel, which achieved pop culture status through the Dan Brown book, The DaVinci Code.
A robust suggestion of the panel was to include other bloggers in your site–are there any erstwhile Roman War campaign commentators out there? Let me know if you would like to contribute a post to PassionateGeography!

Admit it, you've never watched beyond the final credits in L: Change the World. I'll admit it. It never occurred to me to continue on.
For some, it's painful enough to get to the credits, let alone sit through them. Particularly when they're not subject to subtitles translating the beautiful kanji sailing past.
Which means that we all missed the semi-secret poignant scene sneaked in there - beyond all acknowledgements, but one.
It depicts L sitting before a desk, upon which lies a lever arch folder, closed over a pile of tidy case-notes. L stares at a photograph of Mr Wammy for long seconds, before stepping from his crouch upon the chair and walking off camera. The scene ends with a black screen, upon which white words form: L Lawliet, Rest in Peace.
He's gone back to Watari. At least that's the only interpretation which salves the heart of onlookers.
So what's this got to do with Mello? For a start, those case-notes. We're not told which ones they pertain to, but my imagination tells me that there are three cases in there and they'll be referenced or retold in the novel Another Note. But that's conjecture.
More blatant is the fact that the sequence begins with a loud snapping of chocolate.
We hear it before we see Lawliet perched in situ. For a instant, we suspect we're about to see a blond Mafioso smirking from the shadows. And perhaps we do, at least in nodding acknowledgement towards those who died in the cause of Kira.
Just look at L in this scene. And smile through your pathos. It was a hint, but we caught it.
It's reminiscent of our final glimpse of Near, in the manga, nomming chocolate out of respect for Mello. That acknowledgement was admitted by Ohba in How To Read - the official guide to Death Note. However, we haven't finished with Mello and this movie yet.
There was another obscure Mello hint in the previous final scene of L: Change the World. By that, I mean the last one before the credits, wherein L takes the tiny Thai child to Wammy's House and names him Near.
Is that not a nod towards Near's own Yellow Box denouncement of Light in the manga? When he said that he alone couldn't surpass L. But with Mello alongside him, they could collectively succeed where L had failed.
The whole scene is reproduced below, though no-one on YouTube - insofar as I can find - has captured that final part beyond the credits with the chocolate.
Is all of this just the rabid ravings of an obsessed fan-girl? You tell me!

GRANT COUNTY, N.M. - "Everywhere I go, the kids call me the book lady," Dolly Parton said.
She may be known for her country hits, but for years Dolly Parton has been giving out books to homes all over the country, with the help of people like Barbara and Loren Nelson.
"Dolly started in an underserved mining area. And we thought we know an underserved mining area," Loren Nelson said.
These retired school teachers began Dolly's Imagination Library in Grant County with just a thousand dollars of their own money and donations from a few dozen businesses.
"There's great poverty. The people in Grant County can't afford to buy books," Nelson said. "We know because of all kinds of research how important it is to have books in the home. And quality books, not just for reading, but the snuggle, the family bonding. And so we decided this is going to be our passion."
While Dolly takes care of choosing and shipping the books, the local affiliates are in charge of raising the funds.
"We kind of work month-to-month-to-month, but we've been able to keep the program going," Nelson said.
Now, they've expanded into 22 of New Mexico's 33 counties. 18 of those are just partial expansions, and Bernalillo County is one example of that.
"I only have funds to work with families that work with zip codes in 87105 and 87121. And as we raise more money we'll open up more zip codes. We're anxious to do that," said John Heinrich, President of Libros for Kids, Imagination Library in Bernalillo County.
If you'd like to sign up for the program, go to imaginationlibrary.org and you can see if your zip code participates. Or to donate, go to that website as well to connect with a local affiliate.

(July 7, 2011)—The Cloud Foundation is outraged at the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) lack of transparency and avoidance of public input pertaining to the Kiger/Riddle Mountain roundup happening now outside of Burns, Oregon. The herds are famous for their Spanish Conquistador ancestry as well as Disney's hit movie, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. The Foundation asks Congress to stop the illegal roundup now in order to save these herds from being destroyed. BLM's plan would reduce the two herds to grossly non-viable populations of less than 50 animals each.
As soon as The Cloud Foundation realized they had not received the EA, nor had anyone they knew, Oregon wild horse advocate, Kathleen Lewis, contacted Portland Attorney, Geordie Duckler. He quickly filed a request for a temporary restraining order. It was denied by Federal Judge Hernandez and this denial allowed the roundup to begin today.
“This is one of the sleaziest BLM tactics I’ve seen in 16 years of documenting wild horses and dealing with the agency,” states Ginger Kathrens, EMMY Award-winning filmmaker and Executive Director of The Cloud Foundation. “BLM's actions appear to be a carefully designed strategy to keep the public in the dark and subvert the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process which promotes public involvement."
"If BLM succeeds in flying under the radar, the wild horses and American taxpayers will pay the price," explains Kathrens. "We want this roundup to be put on hold right now so we can have at least 30 days for public comment."
The Cloud Foundation believes BLM’s actions are a violation of the public trust and they vow to continue to fight for the rights of America’s wild horses and burros to roam freely on their legally designated ranges. They encourage members of the public to contact their U.S senators and representatives and request intervention on behalf of our nation’s wild horses and burros before they are managed into oblivion.

Here at Calvary last week, we marked the kick-off of a new initiative to get you involved with building our new home. The Good Hope Kitchen: 100 Days to $100K program is a grassroots fundraising opportunity that will provide the kitchen at our future home of Calvary Women’s Services on Good Hope Road and all of the programs that will take place there.
The kitchen is often considered the “heart” of a home – and things are no different at Calvary. Every year Calvary provides the women in our programs with more than 20,000 nutritious meals. At the Good Hope Kitchen, this will grow to over 35,000 meals each year.
Meals focus on promoting healthy living by providing women with nutrients that homeless women often lack – including whole grains, fresh fruit, and vegetable dishes. We offer healthy options for women living with or at risk for diseases like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, heart disease and cancer.
Volunteer chefs and nutritionists will continue to lead hands-on cooking and nutrition classes in this state-of-the-art kitchen, and we have good news for our meal volunteers, too… the new kitchen will for the first time allow volunteers to cook side-by-side with Calvary’s residents and staff!
Calvary’s supported employment program will also double in the Good Hope Kitchen. We will soon be able to employ two formerly homeless women preparing for culinary careers instead of one.
You have 100 days to make a difference and help bring us one step closer to ending homelessness in DC.
In the 100 days leading up to December 15, supporters like you will host fundraising events within the community to build towards the project’s $100,000 goal. Funds are matched by sponsors and foundations like the Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, who has offered their support by matching the first $50,000 raised through project.
Members of Calvary’s Board of Directors, major donors, volunteers, and other community supporters have committed to hosting events over the next 100 days to benefit the program. A sampling of the events already set for the next 100 days include a fashion show and an “Iron Chef”-style competition with local chefs and food critics as competitors and judges.
You might be wondering… what happens at the end of the 100 days? At the close of the project, we will hold a special ribbon cutting ceremony at the Good Hope Kitchen, with event hosts and sponsors in attendance. Stay tuned for more info!
For additional information about the Good Hope Kitchen: 100 Days to $100K project – or if you’re interested in hosting an event – please contact Heather Laing at (202) 548-0596 or information@calvaryservices.org.

The best vegetarian meal that I have ever tasted with faux meat or mock meat. Cheap and delicious and always something that I must have when visiting Lantau Island. The vegetarian banquets made by the temple is good value and makes me feel good eating it and a healthy alternative. I would go vegetarian if all mock meat and faux meat dishes tastes just as good. 😋😋😋😋.
Featuring - (all vegetarian versions) - lemon chicken (fried tofu), vegetarian stir fry, mushroom soup, vegetarian spring rolls, mango sago drink, 豆腐花 and Mango mochi. .
But if you try to inform, may be afterwords you will eat them.
Pss: il vous reste jusqu’à ce soir 00h pour profiter des -30% sur tout le site de @nu3_fr avec le code FITSPAU (code valable à partir de 60€ d’achat) !
SAVE THIS super simple recipe!
On my stories last night I posted how I can’t get enough of baked veg. They are ALWAYS my go to.
They’re super quick to prep and then you can continue on with work/chores/relaxing while they’re cooking.
👉🏽Chop veg and evenly spread them on a pan or lined tray.
👉🏽Drizzle with Extra Virgin olive oil and cover with dried herbs (my fave is thyme) and a sprinkle of salt.
👉🏽place in oven and bake for 20 mins, move veggies around and turn some over, then bake for another 20 mins.
Finally broke my @pfchangs virginity in Vegas.
The flavours were device. I could taste the Ginger which made my day and the veg was perfect and still crunchy. Really tried hard to get in my veg while I was away.
I couldn't eat all of this so I ended taking the rest with me, so you could actually have this dish to share as it came with unlimited rice. .
Aujourd'hui j'avais envie de vous parler de la cranberry ou cannebergue pour une raison particuliére.
Il y a quelques années de ca, je faisais énormément d'infections urinaires, dit cystite.
Je ne m'en sortais pas. Infections urinaires à répétitions, antibiotiques, un enfer !
Lorsque j'ai commencé ma formation de praticienne en santé naturelle à l'école EIBE, il y a maintenant 5 ans , j'ai pris conscience de l'effet que pouvaient avoir l'alimentation et mes émotions sur mon corps.
J'ai changé mon alimentation en diminuant petit à petit mes aliments inflammatoires comme le café, la viande et les produits laitiers industriels, l'alcool et le sucre industriel.
En paralléle j'ai travaillé surmon état émotionel.
Je suis tombée sur le magnifique livre de Michel Odoul "dis moi où tu as mal, je te dirai pourquoi". Pour lui les infections urinaires sont étroitement liées à un choc émotionel ou une rupture amoureuse. Ca vous parle?
Avec ce travail de longue haleine, j'ai réussi à m'en sortir. Plus d'antibiotiques, plus de récidives.
Réguliérement je fais des cures de cannebergues en prévention.
Cette petit baie m'a en partie sauvé.
J'espere que ce post aidera quelques femmes à mieux vivre comme moi ces désagréments féminins.
Tumis bumbu halus dengan sedikit minyak,masukan telur di orak arik lalu tambahkan udang dan 🍅 tuang segelas air.tunggu mendidih masukan indomie dan bumbunya + saus sambal dan masukan kangkung aduk rata bumbui sedikit garam dan gula.tes rasa dan angkat..sajikan👌 .

I'm well aware of the irony of becoming a bachelor after getting married.
You know, that you did the right thing, when you leave the company building on your last working day, and the first thing comming to your mind is: Free at last!
Daniel Baumann writes, that Debian wouldn't comply to some licenses due to embeded copies of syslinux binaries in its debian-cd package. To be exact he wrote: [..] if debian-cd is embedding a syslinux binary with a different version, it must contain the sources for it [..] (accentuation by me).
And -- since both debian-cd and syslinux are licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public Licences 2 (as statet in its copyright file) -- he is wrong. To comply to the license it is completely okay to Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, [..] . (Section 3b).
To the best of my knowledge we do archive all sources of all uploads (even if not public accessible, ask an ftp-master for details about source-morgue ). So we do comply to the license.
Update: source-morgue doesn't guarantee all sources to be present. But all the syslinux sources mentioned by Daniel are present.
PS2: In future it's planed to have snapshot.debian.org for that; don't know about the state of that, yet.
The other day I had the "pleasure" to debug some PHP code. It always showed the very useful error message Database Error.
As it turned out, this error message is printed out at over 38 (!) different places of the PHP script I had to debug. It also included several other PHP scripts, which printed the very same error message.
You might have noticed, that the latest issue of the Debian Project News was delayed. It where ready - more or less in time (thanks for those helping us), but for some reason it didn't passed the spam filters of our listserver.
Today listmaster explained we why. The reason: I mentioned and linked to a Debian birthday party, which was celebrated virtually in second live. It took place on their free and open Island which has the URL www.freeandopenisland.org.
Noticed anything? I'll write it down again: www.freeandopenisland.org.

Beauty by Earth’s All Natural Argan Oil for hair leaves your locks filled with volume and personality. You can get the luscious curls and waves you love without damaging your hair with curling irons and chemical-filled gels. Intrigued? Read on to find out how.
Style your hair with Argan Oil right after you step out of the shower (your hair should be dripping wet). Comb out your hair, then gather it all to one side. If your hair is naturally wavy, dispense five drops of oil into the palm of your hand. If your hair is naturally a little curly, use a little less. Rub your palms together, then start scrunching! Work the oil into your hair by squeezing from bottom to top, adding volume and curl. When all the oil is worked in, move your hair to the other side and repeat.
Once you’ve scrunched to your heart’s content, let your hair dry for ten to fifteen minutes. When it’s no longer sopping, repeat the steps above, this time only using two drops of oil per side. The more you scrunch the more oomph you’ll end up with, so don’t be afraid to really go for it. When you’re done, give your hair another fifteen minutes to dry a little more. Work another two drops of Moroccan Oil into each side, and enjoy.
We loving using our all-natural Moroccan Oil as an alternative to conventional hair products because it lets you avoid all the damage caused by curling irons and hair spray. Instead of loading hair down with gunk, you end up adding moisture and nourishing your scalp with vitamin E and antioxidants. No more of that crunchy look you get from gels. Instead, your hair looks soft, volumized, and naturally radiant. We’re not the only ones who love Argan oil: check out this list of celebs who swear by it.
When it comes to using Argan Oil for hair, natural curls and waves are just the beginning. The Crunchy Moose has a great guide to even more Argan Oil benefits, including some useful recipes. We also have plenty of tips in our blog (including this guide to using Argan Oil to reduce frizz). And, as always, Danielle’s videos are here for a step by step walk-through. Check it out to get all the details.

So what do you do with 3 hours to kill at the airport? Make use of the pretty marble tables and blog of course! I did feel slightly ridiculous getting my DSLR out to take these photos of my nails but at least I was being productive.
The gorgeous gold foil polish is Innisfree's Eco Nail Colour Pro in 131. When I saw it in the store I thought it would go really well over a black base. I love polishes like this with different effects since they make it look like I've made a huge effort when really these took about 10 minutes.
Well I am on instagram and twitter half the time anyway!
And thanks! I just had to use a nail polish for this, but maybe I could find some regular foil and try a nail art tutorial with that. Doing tutorials sounds fun so I think I should start doing some!
this looks so cool, definitely something i would wear!

The acting commissioner of Inland Revenue in Papua New Guinea says there is nothing she can do to help an Australian couple who have to pay 8,000 US dollars on a car they donated to charity.
Sydneysiders Edward and Alvina Renyard sent a 1993 Mitsubishi Pajero to Caritas in Madang to help the work of aiding Manam Islanders displaced by volcano eruptions.
Mrs Renyard's relatives are among the displaced people.
But acting inland revenue head, Betty Palaso, says all imported vehicles, even those bound for charities are subject to duty.
"I think it's just unfortunate that Internal Revenue Commissioner was not consulted before these things were brought in. Otherwise we would have advised them that duty would be applicable on this vehicle."
Betty Palaso says she feels for the Renyards but she cannot work outside the law.

In this penultimate quarterfinal game, we’ve got Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, and Harvard. Who will be moving on to the semis?
A roller coaster of a game tonight, with a shout-out to someone’s graduation year.
Here’s how I’d handle each player’s situation.
Julia should go all-in, as her score is not quite good enough as it is (14th percentile).
Thanks to her big wager, Julia locks up the second wild-card spot, joining Kevin Chen of UCLA as a semifinalist. Tucker might have some buyer’s remorse.
Each day I’ll update the standings with my estimated chances of advancing for the wild-card candidates. These are based on past data compiled for my tutorial.

Shop for signed Brazil football memorabilia including signed Brazil shirts, football gloves and autographed photos. All of these items come with a certificate of authenticity, most with an actual photo of the item being signed. We dispatch worldwide with fast EU shipping and a Free UK delivery service.
Brazil has long been heralded as one of the world’s football hotspots – thanks to a nationwide love for the game and its reputation for producing world-class players and trophy-hungry national teams. It’s in their blood – a key aspect of the national identity. Brazilians even often refer to their country as ‘o Pais do Futebol’ or ‘The country of football’.
Despite the fact that football is now ingrained firmly in Brazilian culture, it was in fact once an unfamiliar import, brought over by a Scottish expatriate named Thomas Donohoe. British expats joined him and with that the sport quickly expanded, with clubs beginning to crop up around Sao Paulo.
Brazil has long been feared at the FIFA World Cup, beating off rivals including Uruguay and France to secure the top spot an incredible five times. They have also triumphed in the Copa America cup, winning three times throughout the tournament’s history.
Brazil’s distinctive and unique style of play is renowned worldwide, dominated by dribbling and creative passes and footwork. It is often described as unusual or unorthodox, as it’s guided by passion rather than the rules of the game. The country is famously home to Pele, statistically the most successful footballer of all time. Those following in his footsteps include Neymar, Coutinho, David Luiz and Ronaldinho.
Signed Brazil football memorabilia fetches record amounts thanks to the country’s popularity and prominence on the world stage. Our fantastic collection includes a wide variety of items including signed Brazil shirts, gloves and autographed photo displays. All items are provided with a certificate of authenticity and guarantee, so you can be sure that you’re making a sound investment. Browse now to find the perfect gift, display or commemorative item for your collection.

A dozen O&R overhead electric technicians, along with supervision, are working in the town of Surry, Va. today to restore power to the Dominion Virginia Power customers in that community whose electricity was knocked out last weekend by Hurricane Matthew.
Since the O&R contingent arrived Monday in Richmond, it has worked in Carrollton, Rescue, Suffolk and today Surry, Virginia on a number of electric service restoration projects.
Dominion has made strong progress in restoring electric service. On Monday, Dominion counted approximately 113,000 customers without service. Tuesday, that count was down to 44,400 customers at about 2,500 separate locations. And, today, at this hour, those outage totals stand at 11,500 customers without power at 1,200 work locations.

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 15 – When Felix Cordero Sr came up for sentencing on April 15 he faced a guideline sentence of 120 to 150 months in prison as part of a gang that sold crack in Hunts Point in The Bronx. In the courtroom of U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory Woods there were only the judge and his deputy, a court report, a lone Assistant US Attorney and defense lawyer, Cordero, two U.S. Marshals - and Inner City Press. The tale that emerged what that Cordero Senior was previously imprisoned for conspiracy to commit murder, then for trying to sneak heroin into jail, then for fleeing the halfway house to which he was assigned. He then moved back to Hunts Point to work for a gang run by his own son Miguel Ramirez. In a reversal, Felix Senior took phone calls for his son, including inquiries into whether his son had guns for sale. Later Felix Senior was in a car with a Mr. Alicea, less than 18 years old at the time, fleeing the police. Alicea threw drugs and a gun out of the moving car.
Judge Woods went through this history in detail before sentencing Cordero Senior to 120 months. His lawyer asked that he be assigned to the same prison as his soon. Judge Woods said no, he would not recommend that. We'll have more on this sprawling case.
As if in a parallel universe the previous week at sentencing Will Baez spoke about his seven year old daughter and dream of opening an auto body shop. His lawyer spoke of conditions in the MCC: 26 men on 13 bunk beds in a unit with one toilet and one shower and rodents in the walls. There was no discussion of the safety value provisions of the First Step Act, which later in the day got a reduction for another defendant caught with five kilos of what he thought was heroin. Judge Abrams showed those in the courtroom the sentencing guidelines book and said Baez need not be defined by the worst day in his life. But ten years are ten years. He waved as they led him to the elevator of 40 Foley Square in shackles.

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 32). May your love be upon us, O Lord, as we place all our hope in you.
Second Reading (Hebrews 14:14-16). Let us be confident in approaching the throne of grace. The Christian community to which this letter was addressed was suffering some trials and was tempted to forsake faith in Christ. The author had already reminded them of the importance of continuing faithful to Christ, warning them against unbelief (Hebrews 3:7-19). In this present reading he gives further basis for fidelity and trust in Christ. In the Jewish liturgy the high priest was central to the Day of Atonement services. For Christians Jesus was priest, high priest, even the great high priest. Christ made atonement for sin. But as High Priest he was no remote figure. At his ascension, his exaltation, he passed through the heavens, so to speak, to be seated at God’s right hand, but to make intercession for sinners and sufferers. At the right hand of the Father he was still the incarnate Son of God who had become fully human and had lived, been tempted, and suffered as is true of all mortals. He fully understands human weaknesses. This calls for unbounded confidence in his followers when they are tempted to abandon faith in him. They should approach their great High Priest with confidence. He fully understands them.
Gospel (Mark 10:35-45). The Son of Man came to give his life as a ransom for many. In the passage immediately preceding this one, Jesus has given the third prediction of his passion, describing in great detail the humiliations, suffering and death in store for him in Jerusalem, but with the prediction that on the third day he would rise again. Jesus is presented as walking ahead of the band of disciples. In this reading the two brothers James and John, two of the three intimates of Jesus (the third is Peter), come forward to make their request, one that indicated that they had no understanding of the sad events that were soon to take place, or of the mystery that was the saving plan of God through Jesus. For them their self-interest came first. Their request was for the two best positions (at Jesus, right and left hand) in his future “glory”, by which, presumably, his earthly coming kingdom is meant. Jesus’ reply as to their ability to drink the cup he must drink probably refers to his passion. In Gethsemane he will ask the Father to remove, if possible, “this cup from him”. The “baptism with which Jesus is to be baptized” is a metaphor for overwhelming calamity, represented by flood waters (see Psalm 42:7; Isaiah 43:2). The two brothers say they are able to drink the cup, and are told they will. One of them, James, was early put to death (Acts 12:1-2). Jesus reminds them that the giving of honours was not his affair, but that of his Father, The “glory” of Christ, the “kingdom” that would emerge after his death and resurrection were far removed from what James and John had expected.
The second part of the reading is a warning against self promotion among the apostles, and Church leaders. Christ must be their model, who came to serve, not to be served, and in the words of the reading “to give his life as a ransom for many”. In a sense these words are similar to those of the blessing over the chalice: “This is my blood of the New Testament which will be shed for many” (Mark 14:24). A ransom can have many meanings, a common one being money or its kind paid to redeem a pledge, a pawned object, a slave, captives – hardly the meaning here in Mark. In the Bible, in the context of the liberation, redemption, from Egypt it can simply mean redemption, without any money or its kind being paid. Jesus’ death will redeem the new Israel, as God did for the forefathers, freeing, redeeming, them from Egypt.

Walkworth double (4’ 6”) bedframe with storage (ottoman storage) for sale. Super bed - have it in another room too. Only 6 months old but now need smaller bed in this room. Storage is excellent.
Bought in Ez Living 6 months ago and used only occasionally so as new. Happy for viewing. See other ad as also selling memory foam and pocket sprung mattress to match.
New it’s €650, selling for €550. Bedframe is as new as used only occasionally and frame has had zero wear and tear.
Combining both top notch design and practicality, the Walkworth is an essential in any bedroom. This elegant and modern ottoman bed is abundant with storage space, boasting nearly 4 times worth what a standard drawer divan can offer. The clean lines of the buttoned headboard is ideal to compliment any bedroom décor and make you the envy of all your friends and family.
@Barbaracinbox Hi Barbara not a huge amount of negotiation in there given the original price and how new it is. However open to reasonable offers. You’re welcome to view it.... thanks for interest.
I can offer 500 including mattress.
sorry offer wasn't meant to offend. they may have been 1100 new but if you take the vat off thats less than 850. plus the mark up put on by good quality shops like EZ Living is min twice the wholesale. Just missed the exact same bed in a liquidation store for 299. no joke it was identical. I have been looking at these beds for a while. second hand mattress are not the most desirable things in the world for a lot of people... offer of 500 still stands, its not a bad offer.
@sallinsshopper: ok grand.... not sure why you're saying about taking off the VAT and the shop markup. Of course if you do, it'll be a lot less but when we're buying things, they're included.... so when i quote a price to sell at, i'm going to work off what I paid for it. I appreciate 2nd hand mattress doesn't sound the best, what's relevant here is that this is 6 months old and was in a spare room and has been slept on a handful of times. Also, I'm happy to facilitate viewing. There won't be a mark on it. Thanks for the offer - at the moment, it's much too low.

Political tension over Kosovo had led to away fans being banned already.
An already tense soccer match in Belgrade between the national teams of Albania and Serbia has been suspended after a drone flew over the field waving a Greater Albania flag. Based on online footage, the drone appears to be a DJI Phantom or a Phantom 2, which retails for roughly $500 to $800 depending on the model.
The Tuesday game, which was to be a Euro 2016 qualifier match between the two sides, was the first time they had met in the Serbian capital since 1967. According to The Guardian, away fans were not allowed in the stadiums in either Belgrade or in the upcoming rematch in Tirana, the capital of the Republic of Albania.
The two sides’ enthusiasm for soccer has been overshadowed by a larger political issue: Kosovo, a republic that broke away from Serbia in 2008. Kosovo, which has a majority ethnic Albanian population, is not formally recognized by Serbia but is recognized by the United States, Canada, Australia, France, the United Kingdom, and many other states.
According to the British newspaper, the drone was flown by fans outside the stadium and was brought down by Serbia's Stefan Mitrović.
According to commenters on Deadspin, many Serbian fans in attendance were chanting “Ubi ubi ubi šiptara,” which translates to “Kill Kill Kill Albanians,” a rallying cry also heard at a match in 2011 between a Serbian and an ethnic Albanian club team from neighboring Macedonia.

It appears strange, that at a time when everybody is better educated, they don’t recognize, or treat their physiques his or her best buddies. Absurdly, your body is often mistreated through the deliberate, or passive, consumption of toxins, towards the extent it enables you to question whether education is on course. It appears to fail, insofar as coping with natural health is worried, and equipping individuals to avoid health issues, that are frequently that belongs to them making.
Instead of developing their very own natureal defenses, people have started to depend on outdoors help contrary goes completely wrong. They appear to become not aware that many years of abuse, or loss of focus, or eating foods that cause problems has led to their lack of ability to deal. Let’s reiterate that individuals very frequently tendency to slack sufficient attention and time to searching after their most precious asset, their very own body, that’s the temple that they live.
You are able to only pull off kids on your own correctly for such a long time, prior to the crunch comes. You might use orthodox western medicine for something to repair the various components individuals which have gone wrong, not understanding that even when it will work, it won’t be for lengthy if you don’t change to some more natural health lifestyle.
Oddly there are lots of who dismiss complementary medicine as rubbish, or at best something that isn’t shown to be associated with a value. Eastern traditions of drugs have the effect of Yoga, some types of meditation, along with other techniques which are broadly recognized in the western world. Did you know you will find trustworthy insurance providers, within the U . s . States, who reduce existence insurance costs for individuals who practice TM? It’s generally recognized that acupuncture relieves discomfort and it should be stated that the growing quantity of western doctors, include some type of Eastern medicine within their services.
It’s been recommended that you’re your food intake, but who want to awaken one morning like a grease laden sausage or hamburger? The example is true because naturally grown fruit and veggies are extremely far better inside your pursuit of natural health. Consider the odor of fruit, like a recently peeled orange, or fresh plate of bananas. Consider the texture and color of this type of food, and contrast it using the odor of losing fat. Be assured the advice to eat between 5 – 9 vegetables and fruit each day is nice, and then try to err for the upper finish from the range.
Everything we all do requires some energy, and in this way meals are our fuel. A maximum of we’d consider filling our cars with sand, don’t let fill our stomachs with grease and fat. Similarly its no use getting a fish tank filled with the best fuel if you don’t burn it wisely, that is where exercise is available in, to sustain our natural health. There are plenty of methods to expend energy usefully, and enjoyably walking, swimming, golfing, exercising at the health club, to mention however a couple of. Obviously a number of your calories are utilized up at the office, however for your natural health’s sake choose something of positive benefit if you have here we are at yourself.
