Lost Suction This is my second hoover steamvac and i am having the same problem with my new one as i did with the old one that i tossed out. I have used it about 12 times and it worked great the first 6 times... Now i'll empty a full tank of water and only half will get sucked back up. I have tried taking it apart and cleaning and also the rubber seal had some gaps so i sealed those thinking that it was leaking air from there...can anyone help? I am so close to chucking this one and buying somet

The N7 Piranha is an assault shotgun designed for the Reaper war. When the N7 program began training alien resistance forces, the lighter-bodied species wanted a low-recoil weapon with a wide pellet spread for dealing with hordes of husks. The result was the Piranha, which hit a sweet spot in close-range firepower. Its rapid-fire capability tears apart not only husks but most opponents unlucky enough to be in its way.
The N7 Piranha is available after downloading the Mass Effect 3: Groundside Resistance Pack.
Player Notes Edit
- The N7 Piranha can be devastatingly powerful, especially if the damage or fire rate is bumped up through powers. Its potential is limited to the close-range game, however, as the weapon suffers from a very steep damage reduction at longer ranges.
- The recoil on this weapon is very easy to control, requiring little to no correction.
- The Piranha is fully automatic, and can chew through ammo quickly if the player is not careful.
- When aiming down sights, instead of the typical shotgun's circle reticle you will see cross-hairs like that of other weapon classes. The cross-hairs will give the player a spread covering almost the entire screen. Firing from cover can remedy this.
- Because of the spread of the N7 Piranha, it is not a bad idea to fire without aiming down sights, since the accuracy and recoil of the weapon are very forgiving. The damage done to a target will usually be enough to stun them, giving you the perfect opportunity for a salvo of follow-up shots.
- However, a Shotgun Smart Choke will drastically narrow the pellet spread, making it somewhat more viable for mid-range combat, especially against large targets such as Atlas mechs and Brutes.
- The N7 Piranha at level I is more powerful than the M-23 Katana X with matching mods. A Vanguard armed with this weapon is one of the most deadly forces on the front lines. Using a Biotic Charge to stagger an opponent will buy you enough time to empty the clip and run back for a reload before the opponent recovers, if they survive the first clip.
- Weighing in at 1.5 times the Katana X's weight, it still leaves space for a light sidearm. Having one is a must as six (standard) clips go amazingly fast with the Piranha's fire-rate.

“Federal prosecutors are fighting to shield the identities of FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force members who were involved in the shooting of suspected terrorist Usaamah Rahim two years ago for fear their names will be used by the Islamic State to inspire attacks in America.”
Why would defense attorneys want to reveal the identities of these agents? This will only inhibit others from fighting against jihad terrorists in the future. Which side are these attorneys on?
“Rahim told Wright hours before he was killed that he was abandoning a plan to go to New York City and instead would ‘go after’ the ‘boys in blue’ in Boston, saying he welcomed the opportunity to ‘meet Allah’ through ‘jihad.’”
He wasn’t planning to go to New York City to see the Statue of Liberty. He had been planning to go there to murder Pamela Geller for daring to showcase drawings of Muhammad — in other words, he was going to go there to enforce Sharia blasphemy laws. Instead, he decided to attack Boston police.
“As terror trial looms, prosecutors fight to protect identities of task force agents,” by Laurel J. Sweet, Boston Herald, July 17, 2017:
Federal prosecutors are fighting to shield the identities of FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force members who were involved in the shooting of suspected terrorist Usaamah Rahim two years ago for fear their names will be used by the Islamic State to inspire attacks in America….
Prosecutors are asking Young to bar Wright’s attorneys from asking witnesses the names of the police officers and federal agents who confronted and killed the knife-wielding Rahim in a Roslindale parking lot on June 2, 2015. Authorities said they believed Rahim, 26, planned to behead police on behalf of ISIS armed with the 13-inch fighting knife he was brandishing.
“In addition to being irrelevant, the public disclosure of the identities of Rahim’s shooters will likely be used by ISIS in their propaganda materials and calls to commit attacks in the United States,” Assistant U.S. Attorney B. Stephanie Siegmann wrote in her filing.
To illustrate her point, Siegmann said three months before Rahim died, “ISIS posted the names and addresses of 100 U.S. military service members on the internet and instructed their supporters to ‘kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking they are safe …’ ”
Wright, formerly of Everett, is accused of conspiring to provide material support to ISIS, conspiring to commit acts of terrorism and obstruction of justice.
The FBI recorded Rahim days before his death telling Wright over the phone, “I just got myself a nice little tool. You know it’s good for carving wood and like, you know, carving sculptures … and you know …”
Rahim told Wright hours before he was killed that he was abandoning a plan to go to New York City and instead would “go after” the “boys in blue” in Boston, saying he welcomed the opportunity to “meet Allah” through “jihad,” according to both court papers and an investigation into his death last year by Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s office. Conley ruled Rahim’s shooting was justified in self-defense….

Local fire personnel rescued a Cambria father and his 12-year-old son June 23 after their kayak flipped over.
The call about a kayaker in distress came in about 2 p.m., according to Emily Torlano, captain with the Cambria Fire Department. She and fire engineer Ryan Maloney went to the scene with the North Coast Ocean Rescue (NCOR) boat, as other Cal Fire and Cambria Fire personnel also responded.
Waves and surf just south of the rocks at Leffingwell Landing were “very high, double overhead,” Torlano said, and the duo was in “a really, really hairy position, right where the waves break. The father was in the water, and the boy was on his belly on the kayak.”
With Maloney at the helm, the firefighters fought to maneuver the rescue boat into position to toss a rope to the father. “We towed them out of the breakers,” Torlano said, “and then were able to get them both on the boat and a rope on the kayak.”
She said the man told rescuers he’d been fishing in that area for six years. After the rescue, he and his son “were fine, a little scared, a little cold, but fine,” Torlano said. Apparently, the kayak had a drain problem and had filled with water.
She also said that NCOR, a group of volunteers trained in water rescues, is short of participants, which is one reason fire personnel performed this rescue.
According to the Cambria Community Services District website at www.cambriacsd.org, NCOR volunteers are dispatched through the 911 system to ocean emergencies from Morro Bay to Piedras Blancas Lighthouse. NCOR was formed in July of 1994 by volunteers and members of the CCSD Fire Department and Cambria Community Healthcare District. Today, NCOR is funded by the CCSD and community donations and operates under the direction of the fire department.
Anybody who would like to join NCOR can contact the department at 805-927-6240.

We all know there are TONS of diets out there – keto, low fat, macro counting, low carb, and the list goes on and on. One question I’ve been getting lately is: do blood type diets really work? The idea of the blood type diet comes from Peter D’Adamo, and rather than being a diet that eliminates or cuts back on a certain macronutrient (fat, protein, carbohydrate), individuals are advised to eliminate certain foods based on their blood results. Supposedly by eliminating these foods, a person will digest food more efficiently, will lose weight, and will have more energy and less disease.
D’Adamo has created specific diets for all four blood types: O, A, B, and AB. These diets do not take into consideration food allergies such as gluten or lactose intolerance. The diets also don’t allow much room for personal food preferences; if you’re type O and a vegetarian, you won’t be happy, as D’Adamo encourages those with type O blood to eat a diet high in lean meat, poultry, and fish. The opposite is true for those with type A blood – they are advised to avoid meat all together. The diet for those with AB blood is similar to that of those with type A in that they are advised to avoid meat other than seafood and to focus on green vegetables.
There has not been tons of testing done on blood type diets, but the studies that have been done have concluded that there is no evidence that this type of diet is valid. This means that following the diet specific to your blood type will not guarantee any health benefits nor is it guaranteed to keep you from developing disease or illness. While following the diet for your blood type likely won’t hurt you (as long as you keep any allergies you may have in mind), it probably won’t provide the benefits it claims to.
What might be a better alternative to following the blood type diet is to eat for your body type. Although this type of eating doesn’t directly take food allergies into account either, it allows individuals to eat foods based on their preferences and any allergies they may have. Precision Nutrition defines three body types: ectomorphs, endomorphs, and mesomorphs. Although not everyone falls 100% into one of these categories, people can typically relate to one of these body types more so than the other two.
Ectomorphs are described as individuals with a small stature and thin limbs (think long-distance runners) and do well with diets higher in carbohydrates, a moderate amount of protein, and lower amounts of fat. It is advised that these individuals eat carbohydrates at every meal and to include a large serving of carbs after exercise as well as including vegetables and fruits at every meal.
Endomorphs are characterized as having a larger bone structure and more body mass –linemen on a football team fall into this category. Endomorphs benefit from a diet high in fat and protein with fewer carbohydrates. Endomorphs should eat almost all of their carbohydrates only after exercise as well as including vegetables and fruits at every meal.
Mesomorphs are fall between these two as they have a medium bone structure and are athletically built with lean body mass (gymnasts and wrestlers), and mesomorphs do best with a fairly equally balanced diet of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. Carbohydrates should be consumed mainly after exercise but may also be included in moderation during meals throughout the day as well as including vegetables and fruits at every meal.
Unfortunately there is not one diet we can all follow that will prevent us from gaining weight, guarantee weight loss, or prevent illness – even diets that are specific to our blood type, body type, etc., cannot guarantee this. If you do choose to follow a diet that is specific to your needs, make sure you do your research, and always consult with your doctor and/or a dietitian before making any drastic changes in your eating habits.
Think positive, stay active, and smile. -A

These two petite floral bouquets are carved from elephant ivory with the flower stems made from elephant hair. They are stained with watercolor. All combined, that makes for two very delicate sculptures. The damage you see in the top photo is very common; broken joins and missing pieces. The reconstruction requires the use of dental picks, tweezers and micro drill bits.
There were a few flowers missing, so reconstruction had to take into consideration both the original placement and the option for best visual placement. The end result is two beautiful sculptures that can once again be put on displayed.

Nature is full of many beautiful and incredible flowers to behold, and they can come in an almost infinite variety of colors, shapes and sizes.
Different people have their favorites, and the lily flower is one of the most popular of all of them.
It’s one of the most beautiful and elegant flowers of them all, and learning how to draw a lily flower can be just as fun as admiring a real one!
Drawing flowers can sometimes be harder than expected though, so you’ll want to read all the way through to the end of the guide.
We hope you enjoy recreating this classic and beloved flower in our step-by-step guide on how to draw a lily flower!
How to Draw A Lily Flower – Let’s Get Started!
To begin this guide on how to draw a lily flower, we will start with the part of the flower known as the stamen.
These are some long, thin stalks that extend out from the center of the flower with pollen at the ends of them.
To do this, you may want to use a ruler to draw the stalks as they can get a bit fiddly to draw. We will be drawing six of these stamen, and they will all be of varying lengths.
You could replicate the lengths that we used in our reference image, but you could also change up the lengths if you wish!
Once you have drawn these stalks, you can then finish off by drawing the pollen at the ends of them by adding some rounded shapes.
Step 2 – Next, draw the petals of the flower
You have the central stamen of your lily flower drawing done now, so in this second step we shall start on the various petals for it. For now, we will focus on the petals and leaf on the right-hand side.
The petals of a lily are quite thin and curved, and you can draw the first one coming out from the center of the flower and curving downward.
Then you can add a curved line inside of that petal for some more detail.
There will then be another petal above that, and that will curve over to the back of the flower. Then, between them you can use another curved line for a leaf.
Then you can finish off the leaf with some vein details before it’s time for step 3!
Step 3 – Draw some more petals and leaves
In this third step of our guide on how to draw a lily flower, we will be adding more petals and leaves to the flower.
You can draw another of the ling petals in the center of the flower, and it will also flap to the back of the flower as shown in the reference image.
Then, we will be adding another petal beside that, and it will look very similar to the previous one.
Finally, add another leaf to close off this third part. There will be a space left at the bottom of it as we will have petals and leaves in front of it later.
Step 4 – Now, draw the front of the flower
It will be time to add some petals and leaves to the front of the lily flower drawing in this step. First, we will be drawing one on the left-hand side flopping down.
There will also be another leaf, but before we draw that we shall first add another petal to the front center of the flower.
This one will be thicker and flatter than the previous ones, and it will also have a line down the center of it.
Once that is done, we can move on to some final details in the next step!
Step 5 – Finish off your lily flower drawing
In this step of our guide on how to draw a lily flower, we will finish off with some final details. First, finish off by drawing one more leaf on the right-hand side of the lily flower.
Once you have drawn that leaf, you have finished all of the details in this guide!
Before you move on, now is your chance to show off how creative you can be by drawing your own cool details and elements.
You could draw some more lilies to go with this one, draw some more of your favorite flowers or draw some animals and other elements to go with it!
These are just a few of the ideas that you could try, but the sky is the limit!
Step 6 – Finish off your lily flower drawing with some color
This is the final part of your lily flower drawing, and this is where you can finish it off with some amazing colors!
A lily flower can come in many different colors and shades, and in our reference image we showed you just one way to color it in. This is just a suggestion, and you should go ahead and use any colors that you love to finish it off!
Once you know which colors you would like, then it’s just a matter of choosing which art mediums and tools you will use to complete it.
There are mediums like acrylic and colored pens that are nice and bright, but you could also go for more subdued ones like colored pencils and watercolors.
We will be looking forward to seeing what colors and mediums you use to finish off your artwork!
Here’s how you can make your lily flower drawing even better…
Make this pretty lily flower sketch even better with the help of these 4 tips.
When you see a lily flower floating in the wild, they will often be joined by other lilies. Now that you know how to do this drawing of a lily flower, you could add some more to this artwork!
They could be scattered all around this one, and it will create a beautifully elegant scene. Little changes can be made to the details to make each lily flower unique.
How many lilies would you like to add?
Adding other lily flowers is one way of populating this artwork. If there are other flowers you like, then you could also add them to create a floral arrangement.
You could go for other kinds of lilies or go for a bolder flower such as a rose. These are just a few of the beautiful flowers you could have in this image.
What are some flowers you would like to add to this arrangement to make it even prettier?
Another way that you could add some life to this lily flower drawing would be by adding some small animals and wildlife to the picture.
One example of this would be to draw a cute frog sitting on or near the lily flower.
Or, you could go for other small animals such as birds or fish. These little creatures would help to bring some life and vibrancy to the picture no matter how many flowers you do or do not include.
Finally, once you are happy with the scene you are creating in this lily flower sketch, you could make it even more defined by adding some background details.
We already spoke about adding more flowers or animals, but you could also add some water details, plants and even a landscape. If there is a pretty place in nature that you love, you could use it as a model for this drawing.
What sort of larger setting would you like to create for this image?
Your Lily Flower Drawing is Complete!
That will finish all of the details and colors in this guide! By breaking it down into some smaller more convenient steps, our aim was to make this an easy and fun drawing for you to take on. Hopefully we succeeded in this goal for you!
We also ran through a few ideas that you could go with to finish off the image. These ideas included adding some more flowers and objects, but this is your chance to show off your creativity!

Combining Literature and Art.
Mrs van der Merwe, Prep I Form Teacher, describes an exciting Prep I cross-curricular activity. Prep I have been exploring the excellent world of literature with ‘Owl Babies’ and expanding that into some great art work using natural materials from our grounds.
Mrs van der Merwe explains, ‘Over the past two weeks, as the new Prep I class have been settling in, they have been studying the classic picture book, ‘Owl Babies’, written by Martin Waddell and illustrated by Patrick Benson. The story is about three little owls who miss their mother and how their mother always comes back to them.
Prep I have loved the story and have been inspired to get busy making their own owls out of clay and feathers. They have been learning the key words from the story and using them to decorate their owl sponge painting. They have been using wooden spoon puppets to retell the story and also making owl masks. Prep I have also been learning and writing about owls and using natural materials gathered from the meadow to make nests for our little peg doll owl and her three babies.’Categories: Prep Priory Post

Secretary of Transportation: Retired fighter pilot Chris “Iron Jockstrap” Ledbetter, responsible for seventeen chicken incidents in the eastern Mediterranean and South China Sea, currently living in a trailer house in the Chihuahua Desert but willing to move to D.C. if he can implement his “all jets, all the time” transportation strategy, which would create a system of single-occupant commuter planes in order to relieve rush-hour traffic congestion while providing a major boost to the energy industry since the amount of jet fuel consumed would cause a 50 percent hike in the benchmark price of West Texas Intermediate crude.

Say goodbye to back pain, tired arms, and fatigued leg muscles – startup company SuitX promises to take away some of the strains caused by lifting heavy packages with their exoskeletal outfits which can boost your back, legs, and shoulders.
Although the suit won’t make your Iron Man dreams come true just yet, it can still help a lot of people, especially those working in the manufacturing industry and others whose jobs require heavy manual labor. The exoskeletal suits are a welcome innovation not just because they help ease workloads but also because they were meant to assist humans with their work, not completely replace them like most robots being invented today.
The U.S.-based Venture Capitalist offers three types of outfits with different modules: the BackX is sold for $4,000 and is used for carrying or lifting heavy items; the ShoulderX costs $4,000 and is used for reducing arm fatigue from working on something above your head. Lastly, the LegX is sold for $5,000 and is used for boosting leg strength.
According to Nathan Poon, a member of the SuitX team, “The modules use springs and clutches to provide the boost, and the LegX gets a battery boost as well.” To prove the products’ efficacy, SuitX co-founder, Michael McKinley tried on the LegX module at the TechCrunch robotics conference.
McKinley showed how the exoskeletal outfit immediately stiffens with a click once the user bends his/her knee. He commented, “I could squat for hours.”
Each exoskeletal suit works by making your body feel lighter and the task at hand seem easier. The back brace can reduce muscle exertion by about 60 percent while the shoulder brace can reduce it by about 80 percent. Meanwhile, the leg brace makes it seem like your body is 30 to 50 percent lighter.
“You have less likelihood of injury and longer stamina,” Poon shared. The products were designed to be worn either individually or combined. (Read: DARPA developing mechanically augmented ‘super soldiers’ using motorized exoskeletons.)
So far, SuitX main customers are those in the field of manufacturing, aerospace, and logistics. In fact, big automakers Ford Motor and Fiat Chrysler have both given the SuitX a try.

Everyone from Big Foot to Edward Scissorhands was spotted at the Baptist Collegiate Ministry’s Monster Mash Music Fest Oct. 31, in front of the Student Union.
The night was filled with performances by SE students and alumni, a silent art auction and booths informing students of BCM mission trips to East Asia, South Asia and South America.
Blake Moore, junior psychology major, and a performer at Monster Mash said, “I thought it was a very encouraging outreach from our BCM to the student body as a whole, in terms of advancing the arts at SE without forsaking their values.”
Moore dressed up as Abraham Lincoln that night. A costume contest was held during the Monster Mash’s festivities. Many students participated, but the winner was Bryant Adams, senior psychology major, dressed as Edward Scissorhands, who said his costume took over four hours to put on.
The focus of the night was mission work.
As a way to fund future BCM mission trips, a silent art auction was compiled of art pieces made and donated by students. Cookies and coffee were available for free, but donations were taken as well.
The pieces donated ranged from paintings of all sizes to chalkboards and decorated kitchenware.
Sheridan Hill, senior psychology major, performer and silent auctioneer, said the auction made at least $50 all together.
Booths were set up with information, photos and artifacts from each place of mission work: East Asia, South Asia and South America. Students were able to ask questions directly from those who went on the trips and take away information on future trips to the same places.
“I think it did a good job of introducing people to the idea that we [the BCM] do mission work,” said Moore.
This past summer, Moore said he was one of seven SE students to travel to East Asia to do mission work.
The students took language and culture classes, worked at three college campuses and spent time getting to know the locals. Moore still stays in touch with some of his East Asian friends.
One of Moore’s closest friends went to the very same place in East Asia. He told Moore about the people, the ministry there and everything that was going on in that part of the world.
“As soon as he told me my heart sort of leapt out of my chest. Hearing about all the ministry and God’s work going on there, I felt like there was no other option but for me to go,” said Moore.
Jeremy Burns, junior arts and sciences major, traveled to South Asia during the summer with five others.
“Women would go to an orphanage and teach English and math,” said Burns.
In South Asia, women and men aren’t allowed to talk to one another, it’s viewed as disrespectful, and so the men of the SE group weren’t allowed there. They had to share their faith in a different way.
“We men would wake up, pray together, and head to a college and play basketball. From there we would share the gospel with them. It was intentional EV (evangelism) with locals.”
Burns plans to go back to South Asia for six months next year from July to December, missing his fall semester.
“ It’s wholeheartedly that the Lord is calling me back. I have no personal desire to live there. It’s God that’s calling me there,” said Burns.
In South Asia they don’t have ice or sweets. Burns loves his sweets so much that he took 15 pounds with him to South Asia.
“I love sharing about the mission trip because it’s an easy way to share the gospel with people if they don’t know Jesus,” said Burns.
The funds received from the night’s donations and silent auction will fund future BCM mission trips.

Like everything here, their dimensions are adapted to the surroundings and are not at all ostentatious, reflecting the delicate simplicity of Mediterranean Islam. The hospitality of its inhabitants and its rich souks will beckon you to discover the alleyways of the towns.
A Shimmering Jewel Among Djerba Resorts
Marvel at the stunning architecture of our Djerba resort hotel in Tunisia. Gracing 35 acres of lush gardens with its exquisite "half-moon" shaped silhouette, the Hotel Riu Palace Royal Garden is located within walking distance of one of the most beautiful Mediterranean beaches.
Sidi Mahres beach
200m from the lush gardens of the Hotel Riu Palace Royal Garden you will find this beach, which stretches for kilometres with its golden sand. The majority of the hotels on the island are located here; so don’t expect solitude. This is a place to enjoy the sea and the tourist infrastructures it has to offer. Children will love to splash around in the warm Mediterranean or ride on a banana boat. Anyone looking to windsurf, sail or water ski will find what they want here, as its calm waters are ideal for these activities.
Djerba Explore Park
In the heart of the tourist zone stands this complex that houses a crocodile park, a museum and a local cultural centre. The traditional-style buildings integrate into the landscape well, although its streets do lack that Arab essence. But since it is so close to the hotel zone and has different attractions, it is an interesting place to visit:
Crocodile Park: The numerous lagoons contain an important collection of Nile crocodiles, which can measure up to 7m. The facilities are of very good quality and focus on the enjoyment of the whole family as well as on the comfort of the reptiles.
Lalla Hadria Museum: The museum’s 15 rooms house an interesting and colourful collection of Islamic art in its different forms: calligraphy, ceramics and fabrics. The creation of this museum has given a cultural boost to the island, which needed a centre like this to satisfy the needs of its growing tourist sector.
Le Village: Literally “the village”, its design recreates the typology of a traditional town. In its unpolluted streets and small white houses you can sit down and drink a juice or a mint tea, or purchase craft objects. Visually, a stroll here is very pleasant, although it lacks the atmosphere of the real villages.
The capital of the island is also its commercial centre, as its name, which literally means ‘market’, indicates. The intricate network of streets hides interesting markets rich with products and with that Arab essence that awakens the senses. The aroma of spices mingles with the hustle and bustle of the merchants and tourists avid for oriental treasures. If you are overwhelmed by the persistence of the sellers don’t hesitate to explore its labyrinthine streets at night, when the commercial activity dies down, and is replaced by the provincial charm of the town.
The elegant uniformity of its whitewashed buildings makes it one of the most picturesque towns in Tunisia. One outstanding feature is the ‘fondouks’, former boarding houses on two levels that fulfilled the double purpose of being inns and warehouses. Nowadays many have been restored and converted into tea shops, guest houses or private residences.
Another big attraction is the town’s mosques, which have hardly any decoration and low minarets. Their modest construction, void of opulence but full of character, is the best reflection of the island’s particular way of perceiving Islam. The most outstanding ones are those of Sidi Ibrahim, which houses the tomb of the 17th-century saint; the Mosque of the Foreigners, with its multiple domes; and the Mosque of the Turks, in the same walled style as the former ones, but with a single, typical Ottoman minaret, that reveals its origin.
The town also has aformer Spanish fortress, as well as numerous Byzantine mosaics with that speak of the sea. On entering the Borj el Kebir, a fortress that was once Spanish but was conquered by the Turks, it is interesting to reconstruct history through its Roman statues and observe the Islamic seal added by the Ottomans.
On the seafront lies the fish market, where the fishermen auction off strings of fish in front of their customers. Unlike in the souk, the sellers here will not approach you. Tourists do not play a main role here; they are merely spectators of a parallel industry.
Although the population is almost exclusively Muslim, the island also houses one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world. In Hara Seghira, of old an important Jewish town that has dwindled due to emigration, the El-Ghriba synagogue still stands. Whilst its structure is recent, the site goes back to 586 BC or 7 AD, depending on the different versions. Its ornamented, colourful interior contains one of the oldest Torahs in the world.
Every year, during the month of May, faithful locals and foreign pilgrims organise processions where they carry the community’s sacred books through the village streets.
Whilst relations between Muslims and Jews have been relatively peaceful throughout history, the attacks against this place of worship in 2002 weakened what was already a fragile Jewish community on the island, calculated at a few hundred souls.
The inland towns cling onto their traditions and know-how, perfected by years of struggling against a difficult environment. Leaving the tourist centres you will come across a Mediterranean garden dotted with palm, olive, fig, pomegranate, apple, orange trees and others. Amongst all the green are white houses and their fertile gardens.
Of the numerous mosques spread around the countryside we should highlight that of Cedoukech, built underground, of which only its white domes emerge.
The multiple wells that penetrate the island have allowed for a very singular agricultural development, like the Cedghiane oasis: a refreshing landscape where the palm trees provide enough shade to enable the citric fruit trees and other crops to subsist.
Ras Remel Peninsula
The main attraction of this northern zone is the important colony of red flamingos that visit it in winter. When they come, these birds add a touch of colour to the landscape which is otherwise dominated by the blue of the sea, delighting tourists and the odd ornithologist.
Explore the island
Djerba is flat and very easy to discover by bike, on foot or with any motorised vehicle. The small trails of the interior will lead you to places not usually visited by tourists and help you discover the island’s traditional way of life.
In contrast with the locals in the coastal towns, the people here have nothing to offer you except their generosity and hospitality. Don’t be surprised if, as you are walking around a quiet village, one of the locals invites you into their house for a mint tea.
Djerba Golf: Bordering with the Riu hotel, it actually has an 18-hole course and a 9-hole one. The longest one is more appropriate for experienced players whilst the smaller one is ideal for beginners. Both of them run between dunes, lagoons and palm trees, and offer beautiful views of the sea. RIU guests will receive a discount on the green fee.
Djerba’s cuisine is very similar to that of the rest of Tunisia, but with a few singular touches. Barley is added to the fish, dried anchovy or meat couscous, as well as the typical wheat semolina. Octopus and squid are also common, either plain or stuffed with vegetables and spices. And the traditional mint tea can also be drunk with leaves of a local geranium variety.
You will also be able to find the typical dishes common in the rest of the country:
Couscous: Tunisian couscous consists of a combination of vegetables, (potatoes, onion, tomato, carrots, pumpkin, etc.), wheat semolina and lamb or beef, merguez or fish.
Tajines: The succulent tajines, different to the Moroccan ones, are an egg loaf with lamb, vegetables, potato, maluska leaves and cheese, cooked over a low flame.
Condiments: The tajines, couscous and other local specialities are accompanied by harissa, a spicy pepper paste that adds a little more flavour – if indeed that is possible – to the dishes.
Desserts: The patisserie highlight is the small, extremely sweet cakes made using natural products such as dates, almonds, pistachios and sesame. Many of them have honey and lots of sugar sprinkled on them.
Mint tea: As in the whole of North Africa, this aromatic drink served with plenty of sugar, delights both locals and tourists.
Juices: Get ready to try some excellent juices made using fruit from this region. The orange juice, and above all the fig juice, are outstanding.
Houmt Souq: Every corner of this city’s souks is used to exhibit colourful carpets, ceramics, jewellery and many other items. The influx of tourists has made prices shoot up, so you will have to make the most of the art of bargaining. The areas destined to local consumption focus on the sale of spices, clothes and food products.
Guellala: Many prefer the market of this town, a great ceramics producer. Whilst it may not have the atmosphere or variety of Houmt Souq, you can find cheaper and sometimes, better quality products here.
Djerba Explore Park: This cultural and shopping centre combined contains craft objects from the whole country. Bargaining is less frequent here and as you can imagine, the atmosphere has nothing to do with that of the traditional souks. This is a quieter option, but also a more diluted one.
Go to the casino
Casino: A casino on an island that clings to its Muslim traditions may seem paradoxical, but its games rooms, fruit machines and nighttime shows form part of the enchantment of this place.
Discotheques: In the tourist zone, where most of the hotels are, you will find a good selection of clubs.

Score one for reality over alarmism.
The argument for maintaining the new rules for union-representation elections at U.S. airlines received a major boost—or at least it should have—from a vote in August by JetBlue Airways pilots. Proponents of the new rules, which the National Mediation Board (NMB) implemented last year, should be using the election as Exhibit A in the case against the push by some airlines and Republicans to have Congress overturn the changes.
This is why: Under the new NMB rules—which make union representation elections the same for airlines and railroads as for every other industry in the U.S.—workers actually have to cast a ballot in order to make their voices heard. Under the old rules, for union representation elections initiated before July 1, 2010, workers who did not cast a ballot effectively were counted as a vote against union representation. In fact, not casting a ballot was the only way to vote “no.”
That made it more difficult for unions to win those elections because it mixed workers who wanted to vote “no” with workers who did not care one way or another.
Many airlines cried foul. They argued—and still do—that this change to make airline union representation elections like all other union representation elections (and pretty much any election) is a blatant attempt to heavily tip the scales in favor of the unions.
But that argument never really made much sense. Under NMB rules, the union representation elections last for weeks, with secret ballots cast by Internet, phone or mail. That gives workers plenty of time and opportunity to vote. It does not take much effort to vote “no.”
The JetBlue pilots’ vote is a vivid illustration of that. Out of 2,108 eligible voters, 2,050 cast valid ballots—a 97% participation rate. Furthermore, the pilots rejected union representation by a significant margin: 1,193 to 857. That is not an aberration: I know of only one instance so far in which the change in the rules resulted in a union victory that would have been a union loss under the old system. Even at Delta Air Lines, probably the new rule’s most vigorous and persistent opponent, several worker groups have rejected union representation under the new vote-counting method.
That is just the reality.

Mercosur and the European Union will exchange trade proposals in April, a key step for the long delayed trade and cooperation agreement between the two blocks and which has gained strength since the change of administration in Argentina with president Mauricio Macri.
Argentina's Finance Ministry finally released its fiscal results for the 2015 period, which showed a deficit amounting to more than 5% of GDP. The figure is likely to be subject to much controversy and discussion, as the government of president Mauricio Macri introduced new methodology to calculate its figures.
By Nick Cunningham of Oilprice.com
Argentina offers one of the few places on earth where oil companies are not suffering from the full force of the collapse in prices. Argentina regulates oil prices, a policy originally intended to insulate the public from the whims of the market, protecting people from triple-digit crude prices. But with the crash in prices since mid-2014, the effect of the regulation has reversed: motorists are now effectively subsidizing the oil industry.
Mar del Plata bishop Monsignor Antonio Marino met with the swimmers that are planning to cross the Falklands' sound, or Identity Crossing, and blessed rosaries they will be taking to the Argentine memorial in Darwin.
United States appeals court put on hold a United States District Judge Thomas Griesa ruling lifting injunctions that have restricted Argentina from paying off some debts in light of the country’s US$6.5 billion offer to settle litigation over bonds in default since 2002.
More than a million people have poured onto the streets of Brazil to demand the removal of the country's president Dilma Rousseff. The president is struggling to hold on to power in the face of a massive corruption scandal and the worst recession in decades.
Argentina's foreign minister Susana Malcorra made a quick working visit to Cuba where she held talks with her peer Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla to address bilateral issues and also met the representatives from the Colombia-Farc peace talks which are taking place in Havana.
Brazil's largest political party and decisive member of the ruling coalition said on Saturday it will take 30 days to decide whether to break with President Dilma Rousseff as she faces an impeachment battle. Calls within the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, PMDB, to ditch the coalition have been growing as Rousseff faces a bruising recession, a spiraling corruption scandal and a probe of alleged electoral violations, as well as possible impeachment.


The NHL — and, to be honest, my employer — seem to have struck gold by playing hockey games outdoors on New Year’s Day, so they shall continue the tradition on 2012. Well, except in 2012 it won’t be on New Year’s Day, it will be on January 2nd because the NFL likes to ruin everything by scheduling games opposite cool things like outdoor hockey on New Year’s Day. Whatever.
Next year: Citizens Bank Park. Sounds like a cool choice. Although really, the NHL has to do something about this northern bias they’ve been showing in their Winter Classic site selections. Why not play outdoor hockey in Atlanta? Nashville? Dallas? Sunrise, Florida? There are both hockey teams and perfectly good ballparks in those places that are sitting empty in January!
In other news, I’m not a very knowledgeable person when it comes to hockey.
FORT WORTH, Texas — A former Angels employee has been charged with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl in connection with last year’s overdose death of Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, prosecutors in Texas announced Friday.
Eric Prescott Kay was arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, and made his first appearance Friday in federal court, according to Erin Nealy Cox, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas. Kay was communications director for the Angels.
Skaggs was found dead in his hotel room in the Dallas area July 1, 2019, before the start of what was supposed to be a four-game series against the Texas Rangers. The first game was postponed before the teams played the final three games.
Skaggs died after choking on his vomit with a toxic mix of alcohol and the powerful painkillers fentanyl and oxycodone in his system, a coroner’s report said. Prosecutors accused Kay of providing the fentanyl to Skaggs and others, who were not named.
“Tyler Skaggs’s overdose – coming, as it did, in the midst of an ascendant baseball career – should be a wake-up call: No one is immune from this deadly drug, whether sold as a powder or hidden inside an innocuous-looking tablet,” Nealy Cox said.
If convicted, Kay faces up to 20 years in prison. Federal court records do not list an attorney representing him, and an attorney who previously spoke on his behalf did not immediately return a message seeking comment.


I missed days and days of news, but I opened my paper up to this gem:
Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will ask for approval to open up to 25 charter schools in Detroit as part of what he calls an aggressive push to provide parents with quality education options.
YEA! Detroit schools, especially the middle grade on up, are horrible. Test scores are abysmal, as are the graduation rates. Sending my children to the DPS was never even a glimmer of a consideration. Efforts to improve the schools are fought tooth and nail. But, this is the fun part:
Kilpatrick, in an exclusive interview, said that by early summer, he will ask Gov. Jennifer Granholm and the Legislature to raise the cap on charter schools to allow his office to partner with cultural institutions and businesses in the city to create a string of small middle and high schools, the first of which would likely open in fall 2008.
Oh, I can't wait. If it weren't for the unions (auto and teacher's), Jenny wouldn't have gotten re-elected. "Beholden" is an understatmente. So, is she going to come up against the teacher's union and approve an increase of charter schools? Kilpatrick, mind you, is also a democrat, but he has come to realize that the Detroit schools are unlikely to turn around very quickly; especially since the unions are determined to protect it's own, not improve the schools.

The Leviathan DLC for Mass Effect 3, which was teased a while ago, was given a release date last week; we’ll all be able to explore what is rumoured to be the story of a rogue Reaper on August 28th. Well, most of us will…for some odd reason, people playing the game on PlayStation 3 in Europe only will have to wait until the 29th. Because mua ha ha, that’s why. Here’s hoping the new DLC can boost the otherwise kind of pitiful completion rate for ME3!
Is Mass Effect 2 one of the greatest games ever made? It’s certainly a good game, though I’d hesitate to go so far as to list it among the greatest. Well…maybe I’d go that far, but I’d have to see how long a list I’m allowed to write first. Honestly, I still prefer the original Mass Effect to its two sequels. Though to be fair, it was only in Mass Effect 2 that you could pull off space graffiti…
Command & Conquer: Generals 2 was, in effect, re-announced last week, this time as a free-to-play title. It’s actually being released as the flagship title in what Electronic Arts is evidently hoping will be an ongoing series of C&C titles across all three of the franchise’s established timelines (Tiberium, Red Alert, and Generals). The game won’t feature a single-player campaign at launch, however; multiplayer is going to pave the way.
A new trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic was shown at GamesCom, which took place in Germany this past week. Not everyone was impressed. Still, it was announced that new content, including a new planet, would be coming to the game, which is certainly interesting. Honestly, I’m looking forward to playing the game again, once the single-player campaign is available as free-to-play. (I maintain my usual steadfast disinterest in its MMORPG elements.)
Oh, and in an interesting footnote, it would appear that many of those let go by BioWare Austin in recent months were picked up by Firefall developer Red 5. Good for them!
Now, here’s something that I’m sure many of you will wince and/or scream at: according to BioWare Montreal director of online development Fernando Melo, some players actually want day-one DLC. Which, I suppose, is technically true: most would want it in the game to begin with. (I’m a bit more sanguine about it, personally, though I can understand the frustration many feel with the concept.)
The big news this week — or rather, the big news letdown — was Dragon Age 3, however. Thanks to a typo, the game was briefly listed as being on the docket for GamesCom, and shortly thereafter some supposed plot details about the game surfaced. The French-themed land of Orlais is rumoured to be the game’s setting (which I suppose would make sense), and a fake logo (and probably fake survey question set) were also released. One of the possible titles of the game is apparently Inquisition, but don’t put any stock in that rumour just yet.
Here’s one piece of DA3 news you can take to the bank, however: BioWare are looking for artists to help develop the game.
