It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. AIDA64 is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
AIDA64 implements a set of 64-bit benchmarks to measure how fast the computer performs various data processing tasks and mathematical calculations. Memory and cache benchmarks are available to analyze system RAM bandwidth and latency. Processor benchmarks utilize MMX, 3DNow! and SSE instructions, and scale up to 32 processor cores. For legacy processors all benchmarks are available in 32-bit version as well. AIDA64 Disk Benchmark determines the data transfer speed of hard disk drives, solid-state drives, optical drives, and flash memory based devices.
From: Developer's Page
Usually, AIDA64's FPU benchmarks are the least exciting of all when writing a RAM review. This is because the way results are obtained is usually highly dependent on the tested processor; so much to an extent that the outcome is practically irrelevant to the speed or latencies of the installed memory modules. That said, it seems to us the extremely small differences between each set of RAM ended up tipping in favor of the Patriot Viper Xtreme Division 2 PC3-15000 2x4GB we are reviewing today. It is considered negligible if it is only one or two tests, but if all of them come out that way, then this really means something.

When we think of British cuisine, images of fish and chips, Yorkshire pudding, and a traditional Sunday roast often come to mind. While these classics are undeniably delicious, British gastronomy has evolved over the years, incorporating influences from around the world and embracing new flavors and techniques. In this blog post, we’ll explore the fascinating world of British tourism cuisine and uncover some hidden gems that will tantalize your taste buds.
No visit to the UK is complete without indulging in a full English breakfast. This hearty meal includes bacon, sausages, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, and toast. It’s the perfect way to start your day and fuel up for a day of exploring. Don’t forget to try black pudding, a traditional British delicacy made from pork blood and oatmeal. It may sound unusual, but its rich flavor is worth a taste.
Another British institution that should not be missed is afternoon tea. Originating in the 19th century, this quintessentially British ritual involves enjoying a selection of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and an assortment of pastries and cakes. Pair it with a cup of freshly brewed tea, and you’ll experience British elegance at its finest.
Venture down to Cornwall, and you’ll encounter one of Britain’s most beloved culinary creations – the Cornish pasty. Dating back to the 13th century, this handheld pastry is filled to the brim with a mixture of beef, potatoes, onions, and turnips. Its unique “D” shape and crimped edge make it instantly recognizable. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal on-the-go, the Cornish pasty is a true taste of Cornwall.
For the adventurous foodies out there, Haggis is a Scottish specialty that shouldn’t be overlooked. This savory pudding is made from sheep’s heart, liver, and lungs, combined with oats, onions, and spices. Although it may not sound particularly appetizing, Haggis has a distinct flavor that reflects the rugged landscapes of Scotland. It is traditionally served with ‘neeps and tatties’ (mashed turnips and potatoes) and enjoyed on Burns Night, a celebration of the renowned Scottish poet, Robert Burns.
While we can’t forget the classic fish and chips, we must delve deeper into this iconic dish. Crispy, golden fried fish and chunky chips are a pillar of British cuisine. Whether enjoyed by the seaside or in a cozy pub, the combination of flaky fish and perfectly cooked chips is simply irresistible. Don’t forget the mushy peas and tartar sauce to complete the experience.
British cuisine has undergone a revolution in recent years, with chefs turning traditional dishes into modern masterpieces. Michelin-starred restaurants across the country are pushing culinary boundaries and redefining what British food can be. From innovative seafood creations to beautifully plated desserts, these establishments elevate British cuisine to new heights. They blend traditional flavors with modern techniques, resulting in an unforgettable dining experience.

When Sherry Dudas and farmer Jim Kinsel began dating in 1997, he was poised to take his successful Community Supported Agriculture (“CSA”) farm program to the next level. A CSA program is a type of “cooperative,” where a consumer financially commits to a season of produce in advance of the growing season, thus becoming a “member” of the farm. Each week from June to November, members receive a variety of freshly harvested produce which may, depending on the season, include vegetables, flowers, herbs and fruits (including strawberries). Begun in Pennington in 1991 as Watershed Organic Farm, Kinsel’s was the first CSA in NJ operated on certified organic land.
In 1997 Kinsel was just beginning to turn a profit and exploring ways to become more profitable. He knew that in order to increase the number of members he could serve, he needed to increase the acreage he was farming. Dudas’s unique work experience turned out to be exactly what Kinsel needed at that critical time, as she had years of conservation and farmland preservation experience, having worked for Rutgers’ Gardens, the Delaware & Raritan Greenway, Green Acres and the NJ Farmland Preservation Program, where she administered the Right to Farm and Farm Link programs, and had experience matching farmers with available farmland.
After several years of searching for farmland to acquire to expand the CSA program, the couple (who were married in 2007) purchased two permanently preserved farms in Chesterfield Township, where they now live.
“The most rewarding aspect of my job is connecting people with the land that nourishes their bodies and souls. We often hear from our members that their weekly farm visits are a treasured time where they can unwind, meet up with friends or family, or use the farm as an outdoor classroom for their children. We are grateful to be able to offer them an opportunity to get fabulous locally grown organic produce at an affordable price and to encourage them to think of the farms as a respite from their otherwise harried lives,” Dudas remarked. “I also love introducing new members to the produce we’ve become renowned for, like our richly flavored heirloom tomatoes.”
Now known as Honey Brook Organic Farm, its members can pick up fresh produce from farm locations in Pennington and Chesterfield, and they also deliver pre-boxed shares of produce to 32 communities throughout NJ and eastern PA. Check out honeybrookorganicfarm.com for more information.

Love should be celebrated, whether it’s a brand new promise of partnership or a lifetime’s worth on your 50th wedding anniversary! We live busy lives and often don’t take time out to just be together and enjoy each other’s company. A beloved session is a beautiful way to reconnect just as you are. It’s also heaps of fun and a memorable experience in itself!
I love the way she can capture feeling of a particular moment through her compositions and use of natural light. She seems to instinctively know how to work with each photograph to create a work of art you can’t wait to hang on your wall Emma Colfelt
This kind of session doesn’t have to be restricted to young couples, it could be with your best friend, adult siblings or any other important relationship in your life that deserves celebration. I would adore to photograph older couples who have been around the block a few times and really understand, in the way only experience can teach us, the value of love!

The highest number of betting coins is 5 per spin but after having chosen to perform all 9 paylines the guess goes around 45 coins per spin. The best number permitted on a 9 payline guess is 9 coins (1 money x 9 paylines = 9 coins). The really amazing bit about my Situs Bandar Slot Online is that players may skip between subjects at the click of a button.
Opening new gates and possibilities in the internet casino industry My Position (online movie slot) provides internet casino players the chance to improve and personalize their own movie slot. That latest technology of on line casino slots allows players to publish their own pictures, seems and shade subjects therefore supplying a fresh and special casino slot knowledge to anyone playing the game. The My Position movie slot is a innovative principle cast by on line casino industry game makers Microgaming(TM).
When having saved any casino supported by Microgaming’s pc software, the installment technique of the very game is simple. All players need to do is choose My Position from the bouquet of shown slot activities and wait for the game to be uploaded for their casino lobby.
When the game has been uploaded to the player’s casino reception, one can start adjusting the look and feel of the game by hitting each image exposed on the activities ‘create new theme’ interface. The simple game has preloaded preset symbols such as for instance alarms, cherries, bar symbols, oranges and a wad of income because the large paying symbols.
My Position is a 5-reel, 9 Payline slot which also contains the Crazy and Spread symbols designed at giving the gamer with heftier winning possibilities – they’re found on the top correct corner of the ‘create new theme’ program and are also quickly substituted with alternative images.
After the gamer has engaged on the picture he or she has determined to change, the player’s personal ‘my pictures’ folder is instantaneously opened where the gamer can make and publish the picture of his/her choice. If the picture picked isn’t situated in the selected pc picture folder there is obviously also the option of choosing any directory.
Giving that it contains an image. There are number picture size limitations and players may modify all photographs with the helpful symbols editor. This specific tool is straightforward to use and permits the gamer to pick a desired element of the preferred image.
The color concept alternative is located at the end left corner of the concept interface. Here players can change the backdrop shade of these slot complementing the photographs previously selected. If you’ve got chosen photographs of character, then perhaps the ideal choice of a foundation shade would be green or atmosphere blue. All colors are evident since a choice can be made from an entire shade spectrum available at the base of the colour concept selector.
My Position players can also adjust the melody accompanying their gameplay. All they need to do is go through the ‘change’ button found on the base right-hand corner of the ‘create new theme’ interface. Players are now able to choose a common tune or noise in order to make the My Position knowledge an entirely unique affair.
When all variations have been concluded, all that’s left to complete is save the brand new concept you have created. Merely do this by giving your concept a name and by hitting the ‘save’ button at the end of the ‘create new theme’ interface. When players did so, they could start playing their completely new and individualized movie slot.
Players can cause numerous slots depicting anything of these choice such as for instance favorite (and not too favorite) nearest and dearest, beloved pets, preferred automobiles, discrete holiday places, pop stars, stone stars, movie stars etc. The My Position movie slot has hours of fun and imagination in store for the internet casino participant – the options have today become virtually endless.
Playing My Position is equally as easy as playing every other on line movie slot. Being truly a 5-reel, 9 payline movie slot, the game delivers numerous betting options to the player. Players can choose the number of paylines associated with each spin – the more paylines they choose, the more the likelihood of getting larger returns.

Segmenting the heart and lungs from chest X-ray images is essential for accurate disease diagnosis, enabling the calculation of image-derived digital biomarkers for cardiopulmonary health assessment. Furthermore, creation of annotated data sets can enhance development of machine learning applications in disease detection, reduce image noise for better clarity, or promote standardization for tracking disease progression or treatment effects. Generation of manual segmentations is time intensive process and it also requires access to trained medical professionals to verify the quality and accuracy of the scans. Originally made to train heart and lung segmentation/detection models for cardiomegaly diagnosis, the manual segmentations in this data paper are published here in hope of aiding development of AI models relating to heart and lungs identification in chest X-rays. This database presents the heart and lung segmentations for 200 semi-randomly chosen MIMIC-CXR/MIMIC-CXR-JPG posterior-anterior chest X-rays for the purpose of training detection and segmentation networks. Additionally, it contains the heart segmentations for the 138 posterior-anterior chest X-rays in the Montgomery Country tuberculosis database.
X-ray scans are one of the most common medical imaging modalities in hospitals and clinics worldwide . However, there is a global shortage of trained radiologists, leading doctors unable to meet imaging and diagnostic demands . This places X-rays, specifically chest X-rays, as a prime candidate for the development of AI powered diagnostic aids - these have the potential to relieve the burden placed on doctors and increase the quality and equity of healthcare worldwide [3,4]. When developing AI tools for medical purposes a large number of high quality ground truth segmentations are a fundamental requirement. This can be a major hurdle as each segmentation is time intensive and qualified medical personnel is needed validate the accuracy and consistency of the segmentations. This database of 200 manually segmented lungs and 338 manually segmented heart, was originally curated for , a study developing multimodal diagnostic tool for cardiomegaly. Specifically, this database was used to train Faster-RCNN and Mask-RCNN models to build an pipeline to automatically retrieve cardiothoracic ratio and cardiopulmonary area ratio biomarker values. We hope this database of segmentations can be used to train novel segmentation and detection networks and ease the burden of manual segmentations by increasing the pool of widely available scan/segmentation pairs.
This database contains:
- Heart and lung segmentations relating to 200 posterior-anterior (PA) chest X-rays which were semi-randomly selected from MIMC-CXR  /MIMIC-CXR-JPG .
- Heart segmentations relating to all 138 PA chest X-rays from the Montgomery County tuberculosis database .
The 200 scans from MIMIC-CXR/MIMIC-CXR-JPG with ground truth segmentation masks in this paper, were selected randomly after the application of 3 exclusion criteria. The exclusion criteria were:
- Scans have to be from the posterior-anterior (PA) view (i.e. all other views are excluded)
- Scans had to be of high quality – visual quality control was implemented to remove scan in which the chest is centered and clear visible
- Scans cannot have 'positive' or 'negative' cardiomegaly labels, rather having 'missing' or 'uncertain' labels in order to avoid the samples used for cardiomegaly classification in . Labels were generated by combining NegBio and Chexpert labels in MIMIC-CXR-JPG.
The definition of the lung area for used for the ground truth lung segmentations is taken from  and explained as "any pixel for which radiation passed through the lung, but not through the mediastinum, the heart, structures below the diaphragm, and the aorta. The vena cava superior, when visible, is not considered to be part of the mediastinum." Similarly, the definition of the heart area used for the cardiac segmentations is taken from  and explained as "pixels for which radiation passes through the heart. From anatomical knowledge the heart border at the central top and bottom part can be drawn". To aid segmentations, particularly of the heart, non-medical contributors were given guidance on identification and segmentation of anatomical markers in a PA chest X-ray by an experienced NHS clinician.
Segmentations were generated based on DICOM files using ITK-Snap software  and exported into binary JPG files in a 3 stage process:
- Initial heart and lung segmentation were generated by non-medical professions
- Segmentations were examined and review by an experienced NHS clinician, compiling feedback on an image-by-image basis to achieve gold-standard segmentation
- Feedback given by NHS clinician was implemented for gold-standard segmentation, and final masks were exported in JPG format
The dataset consists of two folders,
mgmy_masks, according to source of the scan.
mimic_mask has a file and two subfolders,
/heart/, which contain segmentations of lungs and heart respectively. The
MIMIC_links.csv file links between mask files and corresponding DICOM file paths from MIMIC-CXR.
mgmy_masks contains segmentations of hearts from the Montgomery County TB database.

Note that while the segmentations were verified by an NHS clinician to ensure a maximum level of consistency and accuracy, they were completed by 3 different non-medically trained researchers, as such there may be inter-segmenter variability.

Cultural Awareness Workshop
6 Hours excluding Breaks – 1 Facilitator – 20 People maximum
Prerequisites for attending
The attendees are expected to have had experiences with working across cultures of some kind so that they can relate to the subjects we cover.
After the Course
After the course the attendees will understand and accept why we are different culturally and that there is more than one right way to do things! The attendees will have acquired the tools to analyse the outlines of a cultural conflict.!
A classroom is needed with Whiteboard and a projector where a computer can be connected
Most cultural conflicts arise because we interpret other people’s behaviour and appearance the wrong way. We can only change that if we develop a higher level of Cultural Intelligence, which is the purpose of this intensive course module.!
Cultural Intelligence is firstly the ability understand and accept that our differences in cultural preferences lead to different behaviours and different value systems. Secondly Cultural Intelligence is the ability to leverage from that diversity instead of ending up in a conflict. This course module covers the first part.!
• There is more than one right way to do things.
• The layers of Culture.
• Identifying other people’s norms and values.
• Cultural Identities.
• How to change your own behaviour.
Developing Cultural Intelligence is like climbing a ladder; the higher you get the more you can see and the more you will understand.!
The workshop will be facilitated in such a way that the participants experiences will be blended with the academic content presented by the facilitator. There will also be individual reflection exercises when each participant is developing his or her action plan for change in order to become more cultural intelligent.


Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the only vehicle emissions control technology that is proven to be as good for business and vehicle performance as it is for the environment. Not only is SCR the only technology that meets the strict EPA 2010 standards at the tailpipe, but with the difficulties of a struggling economy, one can't help but focus on the fuel-efficiency of diesel vehicles as well as their ability to run more cleanly.
In the trucking industry, where operations and profitability are key, the future is SCR. With the ability to deliver better fuel-efficiency than alternative engines using massive rates of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), the greatest benefit of using SCR is its performance advantage. Initial results show that SCR will increase fuel efficiency by about 3-5%, returning $3,000+/year (based on diesel prices around $4-5 per gallon), a significant operational savings per truck for a typical North American fleet. In Europe where the technology has been in use for several years, SCR has also been shown to lower operating costs and increase resale truck values because it is the only technology that optimizes fuel efficiency while allowing the engine to run cleaner. SCR is reliable and, as the dominant emissions control technology in Europe with more than 500,000 SCR-equipped trucks in operation, SCR is proven.
Did you know? According to an online study conducted in May 2009, more than half (51.2%) of truck buyers are likely or very likely to consider the purchase of SCR to meet the 2010 EPA standards, compared to only 31.2% that are likely or very likely to consider increased EGR. Find out more by clicking here.
New Ways of Thinking on Performance
As a vehicle emissions control technology, SCR requires a shift in mindset from expecting one engine to do everything in exchange for trade-offs and inefficiencies to an engine system of proven components that each perform specific and focused functions with precision. To that end, the biggest challenge SCR faces is not one of performance, but education. The purpose of FactsAboutSCR.com is to offer true, timely, substantiated and accurate data and reports on SCR while dispelling some of the myths surrounding it.

Donald Trump had been making the claim for a while, initially to some skepticism.
Now, a new poll has shown that America absolutely agrees with what the mainstream media initially tried to mock Donald for.
Russia would NOT have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump was still the American President.
The poll, conducted by Harvard Center for American Political Studies, revealed on February 25 that 62% of respondents believe that Donald Trump as president would have prevented Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Splitting the figure along party lines, 85% of Republicans and 38% of Democrats held that belief.
Not only do people think that Trump would have prevented the situation, nearly 60% of America believes that Joe Biden is actually encouraging Russia to run amok because of the weakness he radiates.
According to The Hill:
A majority of Americans polled — 59 percent — also said they believed that the Russian president moved on Ukraine because Putin saw weakness in President Biden, while 41 percent said that it was not a factor in Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.
The poll results prove that Donald’s claims about the war were more than just hot air.
“I knew that he always wanted Ukraine. I used to talk to him about it. I said, ‘You can’t do it. You’re not gonna do it.’ But I could see that he wanted it. I used to ask him. We used to talk about it at length,” Donald said. “Had I been in office, not even thinkable. This would never have happened.”
Biden also tried to tell Putin not to invade Ukraine, back in December 2021.
Putin didn’t listen.

Sometimes, a photo session goes SO perfectly, that I honestly cannot believe my eyes.
Expect to see many more lovely images from this couple’s maternity photo session, very soon.

As an Issaquah Family Photographer, I am often contacted to provide party or event photography, and I squeal a bit on the inside when it happens. These events are more fun and exciting than a trip to the carnival! I love my work as a Seattle event photographer.
This sweet little boy had a traditional Korean “Dol” that was such an honor to witness. It was held in the waterfront Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland, WA, which provided for some beautiful views of the water.
Prior to his grand party, we had a sweet and calm lifestyle family session in their Issaquah family home. There’s no better way to unleash the personality of these sweet little people, than when they’re having fun with their very own toys!
If you’re interested in booking a Lifestyle Family Session in Seattle, WA and the surrounding areas, or photography coverage of your upcoming event, please contact me using the form below!

As a Kirkland family photographer, cheeky 3 year olds and babies are simply my favorite subjects. It’s really hard to narrow it down, with all the other beautiful subjects I photograph, but there’s something about their funny personalities that make each and every session pure FUN! This lovely crew joined me for their family photo session in Kirkland, WA over at Juanita Bay Park. It’s a lovely location, and definitely a beloved favorite.
Abby & Jack brought their lovely parents along with them (hello, toddlers can’t drive!) to their session, and we had a blast. The flowers were in bloom, the sun was shining, and a deer joined us, too!

Sunshine, green grass, happy toddler, beautiful family. What more could I ask for? This summer has been filled with more rainy days than I can remember in the last 5 years in the beautiful North West, but it’s made me treasure these sweet summer days.
The Matote family might look a bit different from the outside, but I can’t describe how amazing it was to meet them and witness their love for each other.
Through a personal project, I met the lovely Love and her family while documenting Adoption Family Stories. Here is their story:
We are George, Love and Isaac. Our family came together through adoption after 10 LONG years of infertility. I knew I was meant to be a Mom, and I couldn’t fathom why God would put that desire so deeply in my heart if he wasn’t going to fulfill the promise.
About the same amount of money most people would spend on a new car, we spent on medical testing and fertility treatments, and still no kids. To our surprise, fertility testing revealed my husband had cancer! When we heard the “c” word, all thoughts about children flew out the window. We focused on surgery, treatment and healing. Hubby is well and has been cancer free for over 5 years. Thank you God!
At first, my hubby was not open to the idea of adoption. But after the long and winding journey we were on, I asked him about adoption again. It turns out he had been listening to a radio station featuring adoption stories for a whole month. God had been working on his heart through that radio station, and I didn’t have to say a word.
Our son Isaac came into our family in April 2013. We met him at the hospital when he was 2 days old. We met his birth mom and dad for about half an hour, and they chose us to be his forever family.
We thank God every day for the gift of Isaac, the gift of family. And we hope to add to our family again this year through adoption.

As the warm days continue, I have been privileged to photograph some stunning women during an especially wondrous time for them. The soft glow of a new life, is evident in every photo.
You deserve to look and feel like a Queen during your pregnancy. Together, we will go to majestic or hidden places to create jaw-dropping images that will forever leave you breathless.

As a Seattle newborn photographer, I feel contentment deep within my soul when meeting brand new babies. Lifestyle newborn sessions are a wonderful way to capture life with this tiny bundle. Being able to capture so many real-life moments, as they happen, is a treat. The more I continue on this journey, the more I realize how much more impacting a shot can be when captured in the moment. Real life shines through sessions like these, and each one is solidly unique to your own family. The interactions you see happened right before my eyes, with each moment being true to life.
There’s no timeline that must be kept to–no 14 day deadline. This sweet baby was 2 months old when I met her for the first time in her family’s beautiful Seattle home. Harper was a doll to photograph–her eyes followed my every turn. She was expressive, happy, and all too adorable.
As a Seattle family photographer, it is my delight to present these types of sessions as a new and exciting way to capture the new addition to your family.

Being an Issaquah family photographer is such a blessing. It’s such a beautiful area, and filled with stunning places for family photos.
Where would you be the most comfortable for a family photo session? Is there a particular place that showcases your family and it’s dynamic personality? When planning a family photo session with clients in the Seattle, WA areas, so often we head to the great outdoors. This is never a bad or wrong choice. The results are simply beautiful, and I enjoy these sessions and their outcomes very much, as do my clients. This year, I’m offering a new approach.
Have you considered having an in-home lifestyle family session? The photos you see below is just one example of a gorgeous and fun experience I had with a beautiful couple and their handsome (and so sweet) twin 2 year old boys, in their very own home. Thank goodness we chose this route, because this particular day was one of the worst wind storms of this year.
As you can see below, a lifestyle session allows for so much more versatility. Your children are more comfortable in their own environment, and are more likely to show genuine smiles while showing me their favorite book (sharks!) We laughed, we cuddled, we spoke softly, and we played. Pure, genuine love simply shines through the photos from this session.

I am spoiled, as a Seattle maternity photographer, with the gorgeous scenery of our picturesque state. Venturing a bit farther than my usual area, I drove to Snohomish, WA to meet this lovely lady at McCollum Park–something I try to do with every client. The park provided to us a beautiful woodland backdrop for her maternity photo session. We took a walk along the trails and got to know one another a bit, and left with warm smiles.
Beautiful, soft spoken, and with a wonderful smile, I quickly felt like Lindsey and I were old friends. As a very shy person, that’s an unusual occurrence. When we met for the first time, I knew this session would be smooth and turn out to be one of my best.
A couple weeks later, with her husband and beautiful daughter, Lindsey shined amidst the tall trees in her royal blue gown. Could there have been a better color to wear in that forest? Absolutely not. This photo session went longer than usual, but we soaked up every last inch of light shining through those trees. It was wonderful.

I love the excitement of an impending new arrival. This lovely mama was due for an induction on Monday, February 29th, but woke up to the welcome surprise of her water breaking! Nolan arrived that afternoon as a Leap Year baby!
As a Seattle family photographer, being able to photograph a brand new, tiny person, is perhaps the most rewarding part of my profession. Providing these memories for families is just a small part of the joy that fills me during these sessions. I get to see and hold sweet babies!
Nolan, welcome to this big, crazy world. Your siblings and parents are beyond excited to have you! I feel so blessed to be one of the few people to have met you in the first 24 hours of your life.

Meet Maya. She is my sweet, loving, annoying, yappy, stubborn, and adorable Shiba Inu. She pretty much does her own thing (the stubborn part) and expects non-stop loving attention from us humans. I was never a dog person. In fact, I was far from being a dog person. They smell, they drool, they’re needy. But one lick from this sweet girl was all I needed. The cute fluffy tail wiggle might’ve helped a bit, too. She turns 7 in one week…. makes me realize how little time we have left with her. My life has been forever changed by her furry little face and I cannot image my life without her.

A few more sites revealed little and there was no sign yet of the Caspian Gull at Amble. A stop at Cresswell gave excellent views of the Curlew Sandpiper, feeding with around 20 Dunlin, just north of the causeway.
Shibdon tonight hoping that the Caspian Tern would arrive from Big Waters. No luck, but a Fox took a wander along the back of the pond.

In 2012 we started looking for our first Rhodesian Ridgeback, after visiting different kennels in Italy we decided to wait for a litter from Patrizia Graneris (Kifahari Kuzaa) and her husband Beppe, near Turin. Finally, on 29th March 2013 the litter was born, 7 healthy and correct puppies, the father was the most famous and stunning dog Wa Kishujaa Dakari owned by Markus Winkler. About 50days later we went to visit the litter and we were really excited, we were looking for a female puppy and we definitely fell in love with Miss Green. Some days later, Patrizia told us that she would have been our girl… the dream came true!! So, in the mid of June 2013 Kifahari Kuzaa Gimbya (aka Andy) arrived at our home and all started.
In 2014 we visited the first dog show in Milan without attending, but just to get more info about what&how to do in the ring. Later we decided to begin this path with Andy, obtaining soon great results and meeting a lot of new people in different countries.
In the meantime, every day we were more and more connected with Patrizia & Beppe becoming friends, sharing not only dog experiences. We are lucky as we didn’t find only a breeder, but true friends always ready to give us advices or simply a good word.
Almost 3 years later, we’ve decided to take our second RR, Kifahari Kuzaa Linje Mtoto Wa Arif, on Feb 2016. Linje is the most friendly ridgie we have seen so far, he is a clown, always happy with his unstoppable wagging tail and he is of course a very “gentleman” with all bitches. He is a studdog, making 4 litters and from one of these we’ve got our 3rd dog, the LiverBoy Kian, Kifahari Kuzaa Njata Kian. He was born in a perfect litter of 7 puppies always brood by Patrizia and her awesome bitch Kifahari Kuzaa M-Golden Eye.
We live in the Northern of Italy, in a small town near Como and close to the Swiss border, we share our daily life and our vacations with our beloved dogs who come always with us.
Enjoy reading of our website.

MUNICH/BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany announced plans on Monday to close most shops, limit restaurants’ opening hours and ban religious services to try to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The decision took Germany a step closer to a total lockdown similar to those in Italy and Spain, where most people are confined to their homes.
The virus that has infected 5,000 and killed 12 in Germany is also taking a toll on Europe’s biggest economy, ending hopes of a first-quarter upswing and set to weigh on the economy until at least the third quarter, the Economy Ministry said.
Under guidelines agreed by the federal government and state governments, bars, clubs, theaters, zoos and brothels must close. Gatherings in churches, mosques or other religious establishments, or in sport or social clubs must also cease.
Grocery stores, pharmacies, banks and delivery services can remain open, the government said, but restaurants may open only between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Schools have already been closed.
Chancellor Angela Merkel was due to hold a news conference at 6 p.m. (1700 GMT).
The Economy Ministry warned that even in a best-case scenario, where the severed supply chains that link Germany’s export-dependent economy to the world are quickly repaired, stabilization would come in the third quarter at the earliest.
But with disruption being felt across the economy, it is not certain that will happen, even with the help of aid programs unveiled by federal and state leaders.
Flagship carrier Lufthansa said it would scrap 90% of long-haul flights and run only a fifth of flights initially planned within Europe. Holiday operator TUI, said it would scrap most operations and apply for state aid after demand fell.
The federal government has advised citizens against non-essential trips abroad. Lufthansa is planning further flights to repatriate thousands of stranded Germans.
Baden-Wuerttemberg, the southwestern state that is home to carmaker Daimler, is closing Stuttgart and Karlsruhe airports to try to contain the virus.
Germany temporarily reintroduced border controls at the weekend with Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg and Denmark. Borders are normally open in the European Union’s Schengen passport-free travel zone.
- Germany to counter coronavirus impact 'with full force': Scholz in letter
- Germany to shutter most shops, bars, churches
The federal government has also loosened insolvency rules that risked forcing companies into declaring bankruptcy while they waited for state aid to arrive.
Bavaria, the wealthy southern state where some of Germany’s biggest companies are based, including carmaker BMW and engineering giant Siemens, has launched a 10-billion-euro ($11.13 billion) fund to let the regional government buy stakes in struggling companies.
“The situation is very serious and changing daily, unfortunately not for the better,” said Bavarian premier Markus Soeder. “We will not abandon anyone.”

If you’ve ever wondered about the suitability of coconut for your feline companion, you’re not alone. Cats and coconut seem like an unlikely pair, but the question remains – can cats safely indulge in this tropical treat?
While the answer may surprise you, it’s vital to consider a few crucial factors before offering your cat a taste of this exotic fruit.
So, what does the verdict say about felines and coconut consumption? Let’s explore this intriguing topic further.
- Cats can safely enjoy natural coconut in moderation for essential nutrients.
- Avoid processed coconut products and coconut milk due to digestion issues.
- Incorporate coconut oil sparingly for potential skin and coat benefits.
- Consult a vet before introducing coconut to cats, especially those with health concerns.
Safety of Coconut for Cats
Coconut presents minimal risks to cats but should be offered in its natural, unprocessed state to prevent potential digestive issues. Cats can safely enjoy coconut as it’s non-toxic to them. However, due to its high-fat content, coconut should be given in moderation to avoid any stomach upset. While cats are obligate carnivores and don’t require coconut in their diet, offering small amounts as an occasional treat shouldn’t pose significant health concerns.
It is important to note that cats are lactose intolerant, and coconut can serve as an alternative snack without dairy. Processed coconut products or those containing added sugars should be avoided for cats, as they may lead to unwanted health issues. Before introducing coconut into your cat’s diet, especially if they’ve preexisting health conditions, consulting with a veterinarian is advisable to ensure the safety and well-being of your feline companion.
Freshly shredded coconut, when given in appropriate portions, can be a safe addition to your cat’s diet, but careful monitoring is essential to prevent any potential risks, such as hepatic lipidosis.
Risks of Feeding Cats Coconut
Feeding cats coconut can pose risks due to its high fat content, potentially leading to health issues such as hepatic lipidosis. Cats are prone to developing hepatic lipidosis, also known as fatty liver disease, when their diet is high in fat.
Overconsumption of coconut can also contribute to obesity, triggering related health problems like hyperlipidemia and pancreatitis. Processed coconut, especially those with added sugars, should be avoided as they can lead to digestive issues in cats.
It’s crucial to consult a vet before introducing coconut to cats, especially if they’ve existing health conditions. By being cautious and mindful of the risks associated with feeding cats coconut, you can help prevent potential health complications and ensure the well-being of your feline companion. Remember, moderation and awareness are key when it comes to incorporating coconut into your cat’s diet.
Coconut Milk and Cats
When considering coconut milk for your feline friend, be aware that cats lack the necessary enzymes to digest it effectively. Coconut milk contains plant proteins that can be harder for cats to digest compared to animal proteins, potentially leading to digestive issues.
Regular consumption of coconut milk can result in weight gain and upset stomach in cats, as they don’t gain any specific nutritional benefits from it. In fact, coconut milk may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and obesity in cats, making it unsuitable for their diet.
Due to these potential adverse effects on your cat’s digestive system and overall health, it’s best to avoid feeding them coconut milk. Opting for cat-friendly alternatives that align with their dietary needs and digestive capabilities is crucial to ensuring their well-being.
Incorporating Coconut Oil
If you want to enhance your cat’s skin and coat health, consider incorporating coconut oil into their diet cautiously. Here are some important points to keep in mind when introducing coconut oil to your cat’s diet:
- Coconut oil can be sparingly added to a cat’s food for potential skin and coat benefits.
- Introduce coconut oil gradually to monitor for any digestive issues in cats.
- Coconut oil should only be a small part of a cat’s diet due to its high fat content.
- Cats with sensitive stomachs or health concerns may not tolerate coconut oil well.
Before making any changes to your cat’s diet, especially when it involves introducing new foods like coconut oil, it’s essential to consult with a veterinarian. They can provide guidance tailored to your cat’s individual needs, ensuring that any health concerns or digestive issues are taken into consideration.
Benefits of Coconut for Cats
Coconut offers essential nutrients for cats, including healthy fats like medium-chain triglycerides and vital proteins, iron, selenium, and manganese. These nutrients support your feline friend’s energy levels, aid in tissue repair, and promote joint health. Additionally, coconut provides antioxidant properties that can help boost your cat’s metabolism and overall well-being.
Shredded coconut can be a delightful occasional snack for your cat. When given in moderation, it can be a safe addition to their diet. Opting for freshly shredded coconut in small amounts ensures that your cat can enjoy the benefits without risking any potential digestive issues. Remember, moderation is key when introducing new foods to your cat’s diet. By offering shredded coconut as a treat in controlled portions, you can provide your cat with a tasty and nutritious snack that complements their regular meals.
Quantity of Coconut for Cats
Incorporate freshly shredded coconut into your cat’s diet in small amounts to ensure their well-being and avoid potential digestive issues. Cats can safely eat small portions of coconut as an occasional snack, but it’s essential to introduce it gradually and in moderation. Due to its high fat content, avoid feeding cats large quantities of coconut to prevent any health issues. Remember to consult a vet before incorporating coconut into your cat’s diet, especially if your cat has any underlying health concerns.
Start with a small portion of coconut to gauge your cat’s tolerance.
Introduce coconut to cats in moderation to prevent digestive issues.
Avoid feeding cats large quantities of coconut due to its high fat content.
Consult a vet before incorporating coconut into a cat’s diet, especially if the cat has health concerns.
Commercial Cat Food With Coconut
When considering commercial cat food options, be mindful of the inclusion of coconut as an ingredient for potential flavor enhancement and added nutritional value.
Some commercial cat foods may contain processed coconut, which mightn’t provide the same benefits as coconut in its natural form. It’s essential to check the ingredient list of commercial cat food to see if coconut is included and in what form it’s present.
While coconut can offer certain benefits to cats, it should be fed in moderation to avoid potential digestive issues. Consulting with a veterinarian is recommended to ensure that commercial cat food containing coconut is suitable for your cat’s individual health needs.
Final Thoughts on Cats and Coconut
Consider incorporating coconut into your cat’s diet cautiously, keeping in mind their digestive sensitivity and overall health. While coconut can offer some potential benefits, it’s essential to be aware of the risks associated with it.
- Nutrition: Coconut can provide some nutrients, but it shouldn’t replace balanced cat food.
- Digestive Issues: Cats may experience vomiting and diarrhea due to the high fat content in coconut.
- Vet Consultation: Before introducing coconut or any new food to your cat’s diet, consult a vet to ensure it aligns with their health needs.
- Avoid Coconut Water and Milk: Due to high potassium levels and fat content, coconut water and milk aren’t recommended for cats.

Spring is here, which of course means spring cleaning. But spring cleaning is not, and should not be, limited to your home.
When winter came around, you prepared your car for the colder weather. Now that warmer weather is right around the corner, it’s time again to get your car ready for the change. For example, your winter tires, those used specifically for driving in snow and mud, should be replaced. Spring and summer require tires that are made of harder rubber. Many vehicle owners have two sets of tires, and they either hire someone to change them out or do it themselves.
But changing tires is not as simple a task as it may seem and should be just one of many facets to consider when preparing your vehicles for the transition from winter weather to the spring and summer seasons.
Auto skills centers operated by military bases around the KMC offer tools, hydraulic lifts and expertise from qualified employees to help make the experience a positive one.
With regard to tires, it is responsible thinking for vehicle owners to at least broach the subject of tread wear. Most people with knowledge of auto repair and maintenance are in agreement that braking is the main saboteur of tire tread.
If a vehicle’s tires have low tread, there could be criminal charges brought when that person is involved, at fault or not, in a collision or event that is injurious to another person.
Vehicle owners should conduct a full inspection of lighting, including turn signals, brake lights, high and low beam bulbs, and head and tail lights. These inspections are easy for individuals to do themselves and should be completed at least four to five times a year.
Air conditioning got more use last summer than was normal for this region, and the somewhat light winter we’ve had this year could be an indication of more high temperatures in the coming months. To prepare for this, the entire air conditioning and heating mechanism should be checked for deficiencies. If needed, vehicles can receive air conditioning recharges with new Freon or other chemical mixtures added. Also, auto coolant or antifreeze will drain from a vehicle faster if the air conditioner is running more, so all of the various fluids should be checked and topped off or refilled at this time of year.
With the safety of military members always at the forefront of ownership and operation of personal owned vehicles, German police and U.S. military vehicular patrol units make it their business to routinely check that tires, rims and other areas of the vehicle meet the proper specifications.
U.S. drivers in Germany should be aware that cars, trucks, and vans here are accustomed to being driven at high speeds and most are manufactured to handle it. Domestic vehicles from the U.S., however, are often not manufactured with these European variables in mind, and they in turn take a beating from drivers who push them past their usual limits.
In short, know your car and know its limits. Each season’s turn is an opportunity to do a complete checkup and perform routine maintenance as well as to make any changes to your vehicle that will enhance its performance. The best drivers will often prove to be the smartest drivers, and smart drivers take the time to make sure their car is up-to-date and well maintained.

eBay has pulled all of its paid search ads from Google's AdWords network in the U.S., an eyebrow-raising move likely to be interpreted in the industry as a sign of deteriorating relations between the two Internet giants.
However, eBay has kept its AdWords campaigns outside of the U.S., eBay spokesman Hani Durzy said Wednesday.
Durzy characterized the decision to pull the U.S. Google ads as an instance in a continued experiment eBay does to determine the best allocation of its advertising and marketing budget.
However, a source familiar with the situation said the move is an angry reaction by eBay's management to Google's decision to hold a protest party concurrent with the start of eBay Live, the company's annual conference for merchants. Google has been reaching out to media to promote the party, aimed at eBay merchants who are upset that eBay doesn't allow them to use Google's Checkout online transaction system. eBay Live begins Thursday evening in Boston, which is the time and place Google has chosen for its protest party.
This person also said the situation is fast-developing and fluid, with high-ranking eBay executives holding meetings right now to discuss the extent of the decision.
eBay has said that Checkout, introduced about a year ago, doesn't have enough of a track record yet, while Google argues that eBay is just trying to protect its own PayPal online payment system.
Durzy said the decision to "reallocate" the Google ad budget elsewhere isn't tied to the Checkout protest party, but he acknowledged that the Google event hasn't gone down well inside of eBay.
"This is a regular thing we do across the different channels we use for marketing, but, having said that, we are disappointed that Google has chosen this time to detract from our annual event that gives online sellers a chance to learn how to grow their business in eBay and in other channels," Durzy said. "It's not the kind of activity one partner normally does with another."
The pullout breaks the link between the largest paid search advertiser in the U.S. and the country's largest paid search ad network, and will likely create a situation that hurts both companies.
In March, eBay ranked first in the U.S. among paid search advertisers with 802 million sponsored link exposures, or 4.1 percent of the total, according to comScore Networks Inc. eBay's pull is even bigger if one factors in its comparison shopping engine Shopping.com, which ranked third on that list with 357 million sponsored link exposures, or 1.8 percent of the total.
Meanwhile, Google topped the list of search engine referrers, handling 57.3 percent of all paid search ad clickthroughs, comScore said. Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news) took a distant second place with 26.1 percent of clickthroughs.
In other words, this situation likely creates a significant hole in paid search referrals for eBay and in paid search ads for Google in the U.S.
Relations between eBay and Google have been strained in recent years, as Google has morphed from a partner into a partial competitor with new products like Checkout and its Google Base listings service.
In May of last year, eBay and Yahoo struck a wide-ranging partnership that, among other things, made Yahoo the exclusive provider of search and display ads within U.S.eBay sites.
Although Google performs a similar function for eBay sites outside of the U.S.,the eBay-Yahoo tie up was seen as a defensive move by eBay and Yahoo against Google.
eBay doesn't have a timetable for when it might reinstate its paid search ads in Google's U.S. AdWords system, Durzy said. "We need time to evaluate the impact" of the pullout, he said. "We don't have a time for when we might turn them back on."
eBay pulled the ads "a couple of days ago," he said. "We're in the midst of an experiment and we'll see how it goes," he said.
In its official party announcement, Google clearly stated its intention to rattle eBay during its merchant conference this week.
this week? If so, join us for a celebration of user choice at the Google Checkout Freedom Party on Thursday night (6/14)," reads Google's blog posting invite .
The party will be held at the Old South Meeting House, where in 1773 mass protest meetings were held, leading to the Boston Tea Party.
Google hasn't replied to requests seeking comment.

Like everyone I recommend the ravioli. But also ask your wait or for a wine recommendation they really know their stuff.
The ravioli was perfect as well as their aperol spritz! Lovely atmosphere
Very good variety of wine served by the table. The food is also good, a bit expensive though for the place, the service is nice but beginner.
Food was good but terrible service! Our waiter ignored us for most of the evening and when we managed to get his attention it's like he couldn't be bothered.
delicious food and great choice of vine!
We ordered 3 beefsteaks - huge portions but disappointing- the meat was fried too much and fatty. Low quality. Enttäuschend!


NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana, United States – Hurricane Isaac on Tuesday, August 28 (Wednesday, August 29 in Manila) made landfall in Louisiana and barreled towards New Orleans, seven years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the “Big Easy” and killed 1,800 people on the US Gulf Coast.
Isaac, which reached hurricane strength earlier in the day and was packing maximum sustained winds of 80 miles (130 kilometers) per hour, lashed the area with heavy rains and strong winds, as residents hunkered down.
The US National Hurricane Center said the category one storm had generated a “dangerous storm surge” along the northern Gulf Coast, with surges of up to 9.5 feet (2.9 meters) reported in Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida.
States of emergency were declared in Louisiana and Mississippi, allowing authorities to coordinate disaster relief and seek emergency federal funds.
More than 4,000 members of the Louisiana National Guard were activated, with 48 boat teams deployed around New Orleans, according to the office of governor Bobby Jindal, who had warned residents to prepare for the worst.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said the city could expect up to 16 inches (40 centimeters) of rain or more because the hurricane was moving slowly over the area.
“We have dodged a bullet in the sense that this is not a category three storm,” he said, “But a category one at this strength… is plenty big enough to put a big hurt on you if you fall into complacency. Let’s not do that.”
US President Barack Obama urged people to take the threat seriously, warning of the possibility of major flooding and damage.
“I want to encourage all residents of the Gulf Coast to listen to your local officials and follow their directions, including if they tell you to evacuate,” Obama said.
“Now is not the time to tempt fate. Now is not the time to dismiss official warnings. You need to take this seriously.”
Obama said he had managed a wide-ranging effort by federal and local governments to make preparations.
His televised appearance showed the power of an incumbent to intervene at politically advantageous moments, just as Republicans met to nominate Mitt Romney as their candidate for the November presidential election.
A full-blown hurricane warning remained in effect for metropolitan New Orleans, a city known as the Big Easy for its jazz and easy-going life-style.
Isaac’s powerful winds downed power lines — Entergy New Orleans said on its website that more than 120,000 customers were affected.
As of 0100 GMT Wednesday, the hurricane was “moving slowly” northwest along the Louisiana coast and its eye was about 75 miles (120 kilometers) southeast of New Orleans, the center said.
“Some slight strengthening is possible before Isaac moves inland,” it said.
The US Coast Guard said it had closed major ports along the Gulf Coast, and shut down navigation on the Mississippi from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to the mouth of the river.
Jindal said his state contacted Washington about getting reimbursed for hurricane-preparation spending — an allusion to agonizing delays in getting federal help after Katrina blasted the city.
“We sent a letter yesterday to the president. We have learned from past experiences that you can’t wait. You have to push the federal bureaucracy,” Jindal said.
While most New Orleans residents heeded calls to hunker down in their homes, a steady stream of more adventurous souls headed to the banks of Lake Pontchartrain to feel the power of the wind and watch the crashing waves.
“It’s awesome!” Scott Schneider, 40, told AFP after climbing down a grass-covered levee to get a picture of the flooded lakefront park.
Dozens of die-hards also spilled into the handful of bars still open in the famed French Quarter, but the streets were practically deserted as heavier rains and darkness fell.
The timing of the storm — set to bear down on New Orleans on the seventh anniversary of Katrina — nevertheless had many here on edge.
“It brings back a whole lot of memories,” said Melody Barkum, 56, who spent days stranded on a roof without food or water after Katrina struck. “I’m not afraid. If I can survive Katrina, I can survive this.”
Katrina left behind a devastating sprawl of destruction and death when it hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005, and a bungled response by the Bush administration tarnished the president’s second term in office.
Thousands of people were left stranded on the roofs of their houses for days after Katrina’s storm surge smashed levees long-warned to be inadequate, flooding 80 percent of the low-lying city.
Those who made it to dry land faced deadly violence and looting as the city descended into chaos and officials failed to even provide water and food — let alone security and medical aid — in the sweltering heat.
Officials insisted billions of dollars spent to reinforce the city’s storm levees and pumps will protect the Big Easy from inundation this time, and Isaac is nowhere near Katrina’s strength.
Mandatory evacuations were ordered in a number of coastal counties in Louisiana and Alabama, where people typically build their homes on stilts.
The slow-moving and massive storm could dump as much as 20 inches (50 centimeters) of rain on isolated areas and spawn tornadoes, the NHC warned. – Mira Oberman, Agence France-Presse
