About the Holiday
Day 1 - Venice
Discover the magic and mystery of Venice, a city built entirely on water. Along the iconic Piazza San Marco, elaborate buildings attest to its splendor and elegance. But the city's character lies along crooked calli and across little bridges.
Day 2 - Dubrovnik
Set between cobalt seas and the rugged Dinaric Alps, Dubrovnik is a medieval delight. Behind the thick defensive walls of its Old Town, discover lively promenades and narrow lanes lined with churches, monasteries, shops and cafes.
Day 3 - Kotor, Montenegro
Located where the Balkans meet the Adriatic, Kotor sits on a deep bay surrounded by soaring cliffs. A hilltop fortress stands guard over the walled medieval Old Town, where you'll find small piazzas, elegant palazzos, lively cafes and shops.
Day 4 - Cruising
Whether you seek an adrenaline rush or total tranquility, our ships have it all. Try rock climbing, melt away land-based stress with a spa massage, build a scrapbook of memories or simply relax poolside.
Day 5 - Naples, Italy
One of Europe's oldest cities, Naples is vibrant and filled with rich artistic and architectural heritage. Nearby sights include the ruins of ancient Pompeii uncovers, the idyllic resort isle of Capri, and the jewel-like towns that dot the Amalfi Coast.
Day 6 - Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy
From the monuments of the ancient empire to the pursuit of la dolce vita, the Eternal City is an unrivaled open-air museum and a lively modern metropolis. The tiny enclave of Vatican City is home to sacred sites and priceless art.
Day 7 - Cruising
Onboard, dining is about more than just food. Think ambience, variety and the flexibility to decide when and what you savor.
Day 8 - Barcelona, Spain
A top European center for art, architecture, design and cuisine, this stylish city has its own language and culture. The soul of old Barcelona is its Gothic Quarter; outside the medieval district, discover iconic landmarks and more.

VeniceVenice is a city in northern Italy, the capital of region Veneto. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
While there are no historical records that deal directly with the origins of Venice, the available evidence has led several historians to agree that the original population of Venice comprised refugees from Roman cities such as Padua, Aquileia, Altino and Concordia (modern Portogruaro) who were fleeing successive waves of barbarian invasions.
The sestieri are the primary traditional divisions of Venice. The city is divided into the six districts. At the front of the Gondolas that work in the city there is a large piece of metal intended as a likeness of the Doge's hat. On this sit six notches pointing forwards and one pointing backwards. Each of these represents one of the Sestieri.
In short, visitors to Venice will often be hard-pushed to find entertainment beyond their plate of cuttlefish risotto. Most of the action takes place in the early evening, when Venetians take their daily stroll or passeggiata along the Riva degli Schiavioni or to their neighbourhood campo. Sometimes they stop off for an aperitif - preferably a glass of chilled prosecco, the local white wine that fizzes on the tongue.

LONDON (Reuters) – British low-cost carrier easyJet (EZJ.L) swung to a half-year loss on Tuesday after attacks on European capitals and travel strikes put customers off from flying.
For the full-year easyJet said it remained on track to meet market expectations despite posting a pretax loss of 24 million pounds in the six months to March 31, which compared to the 7 million pounds of profit it made last year.
easyJet, Europe’s No. 2 low-cost carrier behind Ryanair (RYA.I), forecast that for the third quarter revenue per seat (RPS) would decline by around seven percentage points, partially due to the attacks in Brussels in March.
Airlines had already been keeping prices down to boost travel demand after attacks in November in Paris, one of the world’s most visited cities, deterred travellers.
Other European airlines including British Airways-owner IAG (ICAG.L), Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) and Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA) have all in recent weeks warned about the impact of tourist caution after the attacks on the two cities.
But easyJet said it remained confident on future growth, announcing plans to increase its dividend payout ratio by a quarter to 50 percent of post-tax income, subject to approval at its annual meeting.
That confidence came even as the airline said it was seeing a more competitive trading environment in European short-haul travel, with airlines cutting fares to reflect a low oil price and Ryanair adding new routes to compete directly with easyJet.
In its financial first-half, easyJet’s bottom line was also hurt by flight cancellations in Egypt and air traffic control strikes in France, which resulted in it not improving its half-year result for the first time since 2011.
Analysts are expecting easyJet to report pretax profit of 721 million pounds for the 12 months ended Sept. 30.

Releasing a new amendment for National Quality Infrastructure Book03/26/2019
This book is prepared to describe briefly the pillars of the National Quality Infrastructure in Egypt, and the services of the entities and institutions.
A technical quality infrastructure is a combination of initiatives, institutions, organizations, activities and competent persons. It includes a national quality policy and institutions to implement it, a regulatory framework, quality service providers, enterprises, customers and consumers (who include citizens as “consumers” of government services).
Setting up a Quality Infrastructure System is one of the most positive and practical steps that a developing nation can take on the path forward to developing a thriving economy as a basis for prosperity, health and well-being.
A Quality Infrastructure is a system contributing to governmental policy objectives in areas including industrial development, trade competitiveness in global markets, efficient use of natural and human resources, food safety, health, environment and climate change. It offers a complete package addressing the needs of the nation’s citizens, of customers and consumers, and of enterprises and other organizations that offer them products and services. The Quality Infrastructure System covers essential aspects such as policy, institutions, service providers, and the value-adding use of international standards and conformity assessment procedures, along with accreditation to ensure competence of conformity assessment bodies.
The National Quality Infrastructure is the institutional framework that establishes and implements the practice of standardization, including conformity assessment services, metrology, accreditation and market surveillance.
We would like to present this book in collaboration with the International Trade Centre, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, the Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality (EOS), and the Engineering Export Council of Egypt to be a guiding hand for exporters and importers to enhance trade exchange.
Breif about the book Amendment:
This first amendment is related to data about "Chemical Administration" and it illustrates detailed data about their contact details, and also data about their laboratory and tests.

Check out this modified cafe racer which is actually a 2013 Bajaj Discover 135 under. The bike looks completely amazing!
Bajaj Discover 135 was very popular a couple of years back. The first one was launched about a decade ago and it was a more premium offering than the CT100 and Platina. It was then a more affordable offering to the Pulsar 150. Discover was offered with 100cc, 125cc, 135cc and a 150cc engines.
Jaipur-based Kunwar’s Customs has made this out of a 2013 Bajaj Discover 135. No way it looks like a Discover. It could probably pass out as a modified version of a Royal Enfield Continental GT. This motorcycle was built in 2019 and costed the owner just Rs 70,000 for all these modifications.
The Bajaj Discover Cafe Racer gets the proper aggressive riding style with low-end clip-on handlebars. Then you have a single-seat, wider five-spoke alloy wheels, rear mono-shock, shorter front fender, rear tyre hugger, metallic silver custom paint job and round headlamps that you can see on many old school motorcycles.
Other upgrades include the addition of LED headlamps, single-pod analogue console, pushed-back footpegs and a custom exhaust system. Most of the parts here are borrowed from Yamaha FZ-S and Bajaj Avenger motorcycles. That is evident from the alloys that are seen on FZ-S V1.
Besides all the cosmetic upgrades, there are no changes done to the engine. It continues to be powered by a 135cc air-cooled engine that produces 13bhp @ 8,500rpm and 11.88Nm @ 6,500rpm, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The same engine also powered the Pulsar 135 LS.
Due to the increased competition, Bajaj discontinued the Discover earlier this year. Due to the BS6 norms and low sales, it was not upgraded to the latest emission norms. In the last iteration, it was available only with a 110cc engine and a 125cc engine. Now, we have the Pulsar serving the buyers in the 125cc segment.

At Parks California, we believe that everyone deserves a world-class park experience that can lead to a lifelong connection with nature. However, documented disparities, such as the lack of transportation or public transit options can be a barrier to fostering personal connections with the outdoors.
To help ensure that all communities, including people who have been historically marginalized, have an opportunity to visit and enjoy California State Parks, Parks California launched the Route to Parks grants program in 2020 to support local organizations that are best able to address transportation and other obstacles faced by these communities.
Together, we are helping people develop a connection, appreciation, and love for nature. Over the past three years, we have provided grants to more than 40 organizations across the state that, in turn, have been able to create transformative experiences in nature for their communities. Focused on providing experiences in State Parks to underrepresented communities, we are proud to offer this grants program for the fourth cycle.
This program is made possible through a public private partnership, supported by private fundraising by Parks California, and the California Department of Parks and Recreation’s Waterway Connections Initiative. Route to Parks is aligned with the goals of California Natural Resources Agency’s Outdoors for All program. Through this partnership, Parks California is excited to expand the Route to Parks grants program this year with increased opportunities for water-related outdoor access and experiences. Through this program, we aim to improve park access for all Californians so they can create authentic connections with nature.
For the 2024 grant cycle, we are seeking proposals that address the following criteria:
- Primarily provide transportation to/from: 1) California State Parks and beaches; 2) California State Park partnerships, such as partner-operated properties, and partner-operated programs at State Park properties, that connect people to inland waterways, including lakes, rivers, watersheds, and water systems
- Offer a valuable recreational, environmental, cultural, or historical learning experiences;
- Reach underrepresented communities who may face challenges getting to or enjoying parks, and/or lack opportunities to create meaningful connections to nature;
- Address those parts of the state with the greatest transportation needs.
Preference will be given to proposals that:
- Include programming and/or experiences at California State Parks, and State Park partnerships that connect people to inland waterways
- Deliver memorable experiences in nature through collaboration with other stakeholders to build expertise and deliver programs that they alone would not be able to provide;
- Provide participants with multiple meaningful outdoor experiences in parks;
- Strengthen collaboration and partnership with CA State Parks;
- Have an innovative and relevant transportation approach for participants.
Eligible applicants include:
- 501(c)3 Organizations
- Federal- and State- Recognized Tribal Governments (Tribal Government Programs, such as Tribal Arts Programs, Heritage Departments, Economic Development Entities, etc.)
- Native 7871 Organizations
- Fiscally sponsored Community Organizations
- Government Agencies
*We aim to distribute grants statewide, but proposals focusing on inland waterways and access to inland water may receive priority. The preference is due to funding currently available for the Route to Parks grant program.
Under this grant cycle, Parks California anticipates grant awards will average $35,000. Applicants should apply for projects that start January 1, 2024, with the intention of completion by December 31, 2024. A preview of the grant guidelines can be accessed here. Proposals will be submitted through Parks California’s grants management system.
Parks California held an informational webinar on August 3, 2023 to discuss Route to Parks Grants goals and address common questions regarding the application process. Potential applicants are encouraged to view a recording of the webinar prior to submitting a proposal. View the webinar recording at this link.
New this year! Please note, applicants are required to discuss the proposed project with California State Park staff in each District where programming is proposed. Due to the summer’s busy season, we highly encourage you to begin conversations with the park, beach and/or land manager you intend to visit as soon as possible. These early conversations can help inform your on-site activities and resources needed. While a letter of acknowledgment is not required this year, you will need to provide the name and contact information of the State Parks employee with whom you discussed your proposal.
Proposals are due by 5 p.m. on September 22, 2023

“This is an unorthodox request and feel free to say no,” began my creative writing teacher, Laura, in a recent email. She went on to explain that Bridges, a non-profit organization, received a grant to create a photography project on the homeless in Newark. The program gave digital cameras to people experiencing homelessness to express themselves and their world through their art. Would I be interested in interviewing a photographer about his or her experience?
She had me at “unorthodox.” I loved the idea of giving homeless men and women the opportunity to learn skills to develop and project their own voices. For ten weeks, a professional photographer worked with a small group of individuals, training and mentoring them as they documented their lives and their community through photographs.
In an interview with Scottie Howard, I learned what it was like to see the world through his lens, as he captured the beauty, the pain and the spirit of the city and its people. I hope you find his story as inspiring as I did.
Scottie Howard, as told to Lisa Tognola
My name’s Howard, but people on the street call me Scottie. I been born and raised in Newark, for 44 years. The day that I started here was the day my life changed because the photography program opened the door for a lot of things.
At first I had the attitude as, I’m not good at taking pictures, I’m not nobody to take pictures, but then I really started seeing what it can do for you and it enlightens you. Every picture that I took, it was a story for me because I didn’t just take pictures to say, that’s a cool picture. I took pictures because that’s what I was feeling.
I didn’t just take picture of trees and parks. I took pictures that meant something. Where you catch a person right there in their element. This man is really sleeping out here. This is really where he’s sleeping every day. You can’t change this picture. Every time that I took a picture it was to inspire people that it can be better. I let them know, I’m just like you. Don’t look at me no different. I was sitting at Penn station on a day like this crying, asking myself, where did it go wrong at? I didn’t know where my next meal was coming from. I didn’t know where I was going to lay my head at the next day. I have nine sisters and five boys but my family’s scattered like roaches.
Everything I learned to do with work and money I did as a hustle. The money was good but I didn’t care about nothing. The four years that I was locked up, that’s what moved me up. I wanted to do something to help myself.
When I first came, my problems I didn’t share with no one. I dealt with my problems by myself. (My photography teacher) he’s a good person, a down to earth brother, and I opened up to him. He let me know if I ever need someone to talk to I could talk to him. The (other photography) students, we laugh. We have fun. We share problems with one another. It showed me that there’s people out there that know what a person is going through. They can see it in your eyes.
That what I did when I looked through the lens of that camera. I seen that a beautiful set of flowers is a smile on a person’s face.
When I came here some lady asked me about a job position. It’s honest. I’ll be able to eat on it. I can’t ask for no more. I have a lot of things I’d like to achieve and one of them is to get my drivers’ license. And I want a family out here. If someone was to ask me what did I get out of this I would say I got understanding. I got a positive look into life.
“We Are Forever: Images Through the Eyes of Homeless Photographers” opened at Gallery Aferro (73 Market Street, Newark) on Thursday, May 26th and runs through June 11. The exhibit is free and open to the public. The photographs featured in the exhibit will be available for sale via Bridges’ website and all proceeds will benefit the photographers.

On Tuesday, Nick Cannon was fired from ViacomCBS for spreading and expressing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on his YouTube show Cannon's Class, comments for which he refused to apologize for. Several other prominent figures, such as Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Stephen Jackson, have shared anti-Semitic remarks as of late. In response to this news and this plethora of comments from famous figures, Josh Gad, who is Jewish, posted a video on Wednesday in which he explained that he stands firm against anti-Semitism.
As he explained in the video, there has been an unfortunate rise in anti-Semitism over the past several years and, more specifically, in the past week, which he called "frightening" and "really disgraceful." He said, "And I've seen it from people in a position who should know better and who have an ability to really send messages to a large swathe of people who I would imagine can benefit from greater messaging than intolerance at a time when there is so much intolerance." The Frozen star added, "You know, I think we all have to do better. I think it is so disgusting that after all the lessons that have been learned from those who have messaged such hate in the past that we would continue to make these mistakes. Yet, here we are."
View this post on Instagram
Gad ended his video by saying that he hopes that people can start to educate themselves so that they aren't spreading any more hatred. He said, "I hope that people can educate themselves. I hope that people can use their platforms in a way that isn't filled with old and tired cliches. And I hope that people can simply find better things to do than discriminate 'cause it's kind of bulls— y'all."
Gad's video was posted a day after Cannon was fired by ViacomCBS for his anti-Semitic comments. During an episode of Cannon's Class, the Masked Singer host had a conversation with former Public Enemy figure Richard "Professor Griff" Griffin in which they discussed anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. At one point, Cannon said that Black people are the "true Hebrews" and compared those who don't have melanin in their skin to "savages." As a result of his comments, ViacomCBS decided to terminate their decades-long relationship with him after he failed to "acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism." While Cannon did release a statement about the matter on Facebook, he did not explicitly apologize for his inflammatory comments. He wrote, in part, "Anyone who knows me knows that I have no hate in my heart nor malice intentions. I do not condone hate speech nor the spread of hateful rhetoric. We are living in a time when it is more important than ever to promote unity and understanding."

11. Results - Price range $30+
In the second part of the results we present the measurements of higher priced cpu coolers aimed at power/overclockers and promise to offer the best possible cooling performance. In each chart we have also added the results of Intel's stock cooling solution.
The new competitors here are the Scythe Orochi, the Nexus HOC-9000, the Scythe Zipang and the Nexus XiR-3500.
At full fan speed without any overclocking, the Scythe Orochi showed very good performance with 53 degrees Celsius. The Nexus HOC-9000 follows closely with 54 degrees Celsius, while the Scythe Zipang kept the temperature down to 56 degrees Celsius A rather unexpected result came from the Nexus XiR-3500.
Below you can find the results with the fan speed set to low RPM. Note that not all products support this feature.
Overclocking is for sure the most interesting comparison among the high-priced cpu coolers. As it was expected, the Scythe Orochi performs really well provided that it is equipped with a single fan. It gave a result of 69 degrees Celsius under full load at 3.60Ghz. The Nexus HOC-9000 was less efficient with 74 degrees Celsius, while Scythe Zipang followed with 78 degrees Celsius The Nexus XiR-3500 followed with 80 degrees Celsius
We proceed to the noise level tests under full and low fan speeds. It is rather hard for most products to compete with Intel's stock option. The Nexus XiR-3500 performed very well while the Scythe Zipang and Orochi were also quiet. The Nexus HOC-9000 got an average rank on this test with a noise level of was at the 55dB.
The Scythe Orochi is "normally" priced at $59, while the Nexus XiR-3500 would cost you $6 more.

Me and my two best friends have always called ourselves the Powerpuff girls because we have blonde, red, and black hair. So a couple of years ago we decided it would be the best Halloween costume ever. I sewed all of the dresses out of a fake silk material and a easy dress pattern. We decided to add another Powerpuff girl so our other best friend could join the fun, and last but not least, the professor. He even dyed his hair black for the costume.. way to take one for the team.
The costumes were simple. Just a dress, white tights, black belt, and black shoes. The reactions once we got to the party were epic. My only regret is we didn’t have a Mo Jo Jo Jo. It really would have completed this look. All in all it was by far my favorite Halloween ever.

Racial inequality is perpetuated less by individuals than by structural racism and implicit bias. Evidence of structural inequality is everywhere: in the grossly disproportionate numbers of young black men and women in prison; in the color of students shunted into remedial and special education tracks; in the stubborn segregation of our neighborhoods and schools; in the lack of recreational and academic opportunities for children of color in poor communities; in the inferior medical treatment that people of color receive; and in the still appallingly small numbers of men and women of color in law firms, corporations and government. It is evident, too, in the history of blatant discrimination against black farmers practiced by the Agricultural Department.
But that does not make doctors, nurses, police officers, judges, teachers, lawyers, city planners, admission officers or others prejudiced. Most are well-intentioned professionals who believe themselves to be free of racial bias. From their perspective, it is not easy to connect individual actions and decisions to broader structural conditions and environments built up over decades and even centuries.
Implicit bias is a reality we must confront far more openly. A growing mass of compelling research reveals the unconscious racial stereotypes many of us harbor that affect our decisions. Such attitudes do not make us prejudiced; they make us human. Those who take the Implicit Association Test often express shock when results show that their unconscious biases conflict with their explicit egalitarian values and ideals. Nonetheless, white and black test-takers match black faces more quickly than white ones with words representing violent concepts and are more likely to mistake a harmless object for a gun when it is carried by a black person. One study found that the more stereotypically black the features of a criminal defendant, the harsher the sentence he or she is likely to receive. Implicit bias has been shown to factor into hiring decisions and into the quality of health care that individuals receive. Mazharin Banaji and Jerry Kang, leading scholars on implicit bias, have noted: "As disturbing as this evidence is, there is too much of it to be ignored."
This is a good analysis, but I disagree with the claim that implicit bias doesn't make us prejudiced. Making pre-judgments that affect our decisions is the textbook definition of prejudice.
The authors must think "prejudice" means a conscious feeling of superiority or hatred toward others. Wrong, as a dictionary would reveal.
In other words, the authors' claim that "it makes us human" is another way of saying humans are prejudiced. The authors may be afraid to hurt their readers' feelings, but I'm not. Some people are explicitly prejudiced and more are implicitly prejudiced. The latter group includes everyone who thinks The Dudesons, hipster headdresses, and Indian mascots are okay.
No one is saying these people are "bad," but we're also not saying they're perfectly good. They have a problem and they need to work to overcome it. Ignorance and apathy aren't acceptable.
If you think it's okay to believe Indians are chiefs, savages, or drunks, think again. Stop acting like a child who believes in Santa Claus and start learning. Educate yourself about Indians and other minorities to alleviate your implicit prejudice.

New lead pastor named at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale
Doug Sauder to take lead pastor position
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale Church Communication Director Mike Miller confirmed Wednesday that a new lead pastor has been named.
The Rev. Doug Sauder will take the role that previously belonged to Bob Coy, who resigned from his position in April after confessing to cheating on his wife, which disqualified him from continuing his leadership at the church.
Sauder, who was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, was ordained to the ministry in October 2004.
He was married in 1993 at Apostolic Christian Church in Plantation and has three children.

Tribune may file for bankruptcy protection: Reports
As per the UK's daily, Financial Times, the concerns over the future of some of the largest US metropolitan newspapers may deepen further with reports about Tribune, which owns Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, beginning preparations for a possible bankruptcy filing.
The report further stated that the group, which had been in negotiations with banks in the hope of renegotiating its $12 billion debt burden, has not made a comment on the issue.
However, the company told its Chicago daily, "It's an uncertain and difficult environment. We haven't made any decision. We're looking at all of our options".
According to a separate report in Wall Street Journal, the media house has hired investment bank Lazard as its financial adviser and law firm Sidley Austin to advise the company for a possible filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The Financial Times report revealed that Tribune's advertising revenues have fallen and limited the groups options in a market, where few investors have shown appetite for buying newspaper assets.
Last month, Tribune reported a loss of $124 million in the third quarter and its revenues fell by 10 per cent.
The company has a $512-million debt payment coming due in June and if the obligation is not paid the lender would face the dilemma of whether to compromise on the terms on the loans or watch the company go to the bankruptcy court.

- Effective adult education is difficult to accomplish all over the world.
- Quality of education is a problem across many countries in Africa at all levels (primary, secondary, tertiary, adult).
For the World AIDS Day, there is a sign at the World Bank that states that taking ARVs reduces rate of HIV transmission by 96%. If this was last year, a sign somewhere may well have read “A cheap microbicidal gel that women can use up to 12 hours before sexual intercourse reduces HIV infection risk by more than half – when used consistently.” Well, sadly, it turns out, so much for that.

I was working with my MainMenu scene, and when I was looking for my Game scene it just desappeared. I wasn’t even using it, the last time I edited the Game scene I’ve saved it and switched to the MainMenu scene. Unity didn’t even crash, the scene just desappeared. This is the most important scene in my game and it’s gone. I’ve already searched everywere on my computer, on the Temp files, on the recycle bin, everywhere.
Is there anything I can do to recover my scene?
Also, I have the .meta file, Unity didn’t delete it for some reason.
Thanks for any help!
Unity doesn’t have a track record of just deleting scenes. Obviously, it’s possible (but unlikely) that there is a bug that caused this. It’s maybe more likely that some AV software has taken a dislike to it and moved it into a secure, hidden area. If you do not have a regular backup, and you’re unable to find the scene, then, I think you’ll be out of luck. In which case, it’s a lesson in how important backups are.
This has happened to me as well. I was actually just about to hit Ctrl+S and then BAM… it wiped out my scene! my entire hierachy, gone! I watched all objects disappear before my eyes!
The worst part is… it happened while I was already in the motion of hitting ctrl+S!
LUCKILY… I was working on the dropbox, which keeps previous versions backed up, so i simply downloaded the most recent scene i could find that was larger than 1kb.
Now… this has happened several times since, and this has only happened for me in ONE particular project. The first time this happened, I’ll admit, I panicked, but after that, when it happened, I simply closed unity (DONT SAVE!!!) and reopened it to my scene, and everything was back.
It actually only wipes out stuff in your scene, and your scene is a file that you are personally responsible for saving, so if you havnt saved already, then no damage has been done to your actual scene FILE.
