Preheat oven, if using, to 400 degrees F.
Lightly coat asparagus spears in extra-virgin olive oil. Season the asparagus with black pepper. Take a quick count of the spear tips. Divide the total number by four. Gather that number of spears and use a slice of bacon to wrap the bundle and secure the spears together. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
To grill, place bundles on hot grill and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes until bacon is crisp and asparagus bundles are tender.
For oven preparation, place bundles on slotted broiler pan. Bake 12 minutes.

Tuesday, July 10, 2018: PHIX Photonics assembly (PHIX) moves forward in the next step of its growth due to the recent acquisition of LioniX International BV by Magic Micro Co. Ltd . As part of this acquisition and the further implementation plan towards high volume assembly of Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) modules, LioniX International has increased its share in PHIX. This will strengthen its position as a vertical integrated supplier of PIC based modules.
In parallel to this change in ownership, PHIX also secures financial support for the upscaling from semi- automated to fully-automated assembly lines. Both Magic Micro and Panthera International (the original main shareholder of LioniX International) are committing to financially support PHIX for further upscaling. This growth is needed to serve current customers and market demands.

Repost from old blog, 8/15/2009I was having a crappy day on Wednesday; an outcome of the extreme financial stress we’ve been having lately. I’d been so overcome by my problems, so paralyzed by the future, that I knew I needed to do something to escape.
I took a walk through a field near my house. I was picking wildflowers when I saw a family of deer: three does, three fawns. They spotted me almost instantly but kept walking toward me. They would stop, look around, look back at me, then continue toward me. They got about five yards away from me before one of them made a snirfing sound and they bounded off – all except for one adult, whose body was pointed toward where the rest was running but whose neck was craned back to look at me, as if too curious to run away. Finally I clapped to scare her and she ran.
But I was thinking about how the deer have to be constantly alert to danger. They kept looking up, looking around, then going back to what they were doing. All animals have to be like that, to varying extents. It’s important to be aware of danger, but equally important to go on with your life when no immediate threat is present.3 Comments

Condor Airlines is based in Frankfurt, Germany. It operates scheduled flights to Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. Founded in 1955, Condor Airlines has the ability to bring over six million passengers annually to over 75 destinations that span all over the world. Condor Airlines can meet all your flight needs.
Condor is founded on December 21st as “Deutsche Flugdienst GmbH” by the four partners Norddeutscher Lloyd , Hamburg-Amerika-Linie , Deutsche Lufthansa and Deutsche Bundesbahn . Condor’s hub is Frankfurt am Main. The fleet consists of three British-made Vickers Viking two-engine propeller aircraft, each with 36 seats.The company’s tourism flight operation begins on March 29th with a pilgrimage flight to the “Holy Land”. Within the first year of operation, Majorca and the Canary Island of Tenerife are already added to the flight schedule.Condor takes modern Boeing 757 and Boeing 767 jets into service. They had been initially operated by the production company Südflug, a 100 percent subsidiary of Condor. Condor is the first tourism airline to introduce a separate, more comfortable class into its aircraft: The new Condor Comfort Class creates new quality standards. In fall 92 the subsidiary Südflug is integrated into Condor.
Thomas Cook becomes the integrated international tourism brand: Condor is transformed into the new brand, “Thomas Cook powered by Condor”. In Germany, the Condor and Condor Berlin airplanes gradually bear the new Thomas Cook design: The fuselage sections of the aircraft feature the Thomas Cook name, and the tail unit displays the Thomas Cook logo. The reference “powered by Condor” makes it clear that the new airline brand is relying on the tried-and-true Condor quality. In June of 2002, the first aircraft takes off displaying the new livery.Beginning in May, the Thomas Cook AG airline in Germany returns to the skies under the Condor brand name. As the first and up to now only German airline, the new Condor also begins offering discount prices on long-haul flights: Starting at 99 Euros, guests can fly with Condor to America, to the Caribbean, to Africa and to Asia.In March, Condor Flugdienst GmbH celebrates its fiftieth birthday. Its exciting history is relived through a number of different campaigns. In the anniversary year of 2006, Condor flies a declaration of love around the world, the uniquely designed Boeing 757-300 called “Willi”, after Wilfried Meyer, who for 30 years was the defining influence for Condor’s image. On October 16, Condor welcomes on board its 15 millionth passenger since 1956.
After the devastating earthquake in Haiti and successful transport of relief supplies, Condor and the aid organisation “Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen e. V. – Wings of help” set up a partnership in June. Condor furnishes its Airbus A320 fleet with a new cabin interior. Condor provides the latest news, travel tips and more on Facebook.The Thomas Cook Group plc decides to renew all short – and long-haul distance fleets of all airlines. In September, Condor integrates an additional Boeing 767 in its long-haul fleet. In December, the Airbus A320 with the registration D-AICA is painted in nostalgic design of the 1960s, and named Hans in commenoration to the first tour operator chartering Condor, Hans Geisler.Condor merges with the airlines Thomas Cook Airlines UK, Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia and Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium to form the Thomas Cook Group Airline. Since October 1st, all companies within the Thomas Cook Group plc. are united under a common symbol: The Sunny Heart.
All Condor long-haul aircraft undergo an extensive cabin refurbishment. The cabin refurbishment includes the installation of a completely new cabin with in-seat entertainment in all classes and new fully automated, comfortable angled-lie-flat seats in the new Condor Business Class. In February and April, the first new Airbus A321-211 with Sunny Heart design and extended wings, so called Sharklets, are delivered to Condor. In a survey by Focus and Focus Money, Condor is awarded as sustainable airline. Condor receives the gold seal.Condor offers a Germany-wide unique concept Airshoppen. Guests can use Condor’s Airshoppen service with more than 950 products at home before their flight to shop tax-free and save up to 60 percent. The goods will be brought to the passenger’s seat on the booked outbound or return flight Portland, Oregon, and Providence, Rhode Island, are new Condor destinations for summer 2015.For already the third time in succession, Condor has been chosen as the airline with the most satisfied customers in Germany and can claim the title of “Germany’s most popular airline” for itself. With three new US destinations; New Orleans, Pittsburgh and San Diego, the North America portfolio for the leisure airline has been extended.

TikTok will now require “mandatory verification” for US-based political accounts.
The video-sharing platform has also announced plans to ban all political fundraising on the TikTok app.
In a blog post, Blake Chandlee, the president of global business solutions at TikTok, explained: “TikTok is an entertainment platform where people come to share their stories, and understand other people’s experiences, too. Those stories can touch on all aspects of their lives, including current events like elections and political issues.
“As we have set out before, we want to continue to develop policies that foster and promote a positive environment that brings people together, not divide them.
“We do that currently by working to keep harmful misinformation off the platform, prohibiting political advertising, and connecting our community with authoritative information about elections.
“Today, we are building on that approach by making a series of changes to government, politician, and political party accounts that we believe will help ensure TikTok remains a fun, positive and joyful experience.”
Blake also suggested that TikTok’s policy could be introduced in other countries in the coming weeks and months.
Blake said: “Verification lets our community know an account is authentic and belongs to the user it represents, which is a way to build trust between high-profile creators and their community.
“While many political accounts have added the verified badge to their profile already, doing so is currently optional. Starting today in the US, we’ll be trialling mandatory verification for accounts belonging to governments, politicians, and political parties through the midterm elections.”

Searching for Air balloon flights in Salem? You've come to the page you want! Finding a ride provider to provide Air balloon flights is easy. Additionally, you can stop by additional pages here, or look in your local yellow pages.
Enjoying Air balloon flights is something everyone can participate in, but it is also a popular way to celebrate a birthday! When you speak with the firm you are considering booking with, always to ask how many passengers will be flying with you.
When it is time for your flight, your pilot will offer to let you help with the assembly and inflation of the balloon. Go ahead and do it - it adds to the experience!
Deal direct with the company you fly with:
Our guide is unique since it lists the actual ride companies in a particular area. This offers many advantages over the 'Prepaid' ride companies.
First, you can visit with the company and find out all you need to know, including their specific terms and practices. Secondly, when you book directly with the flight company, you know exactly where you'll fly, how long the flight will last, and what is included. Our directory also allows you to comparison shop when there are multiple operators in an area.
The companies that advertise 'hundreds of locations nationwide' usually contract with a single operator in an area and pay them only a fraction of what you paid for your flight. Passengers that come from these 'aggregators' are used to fill vacant spots on existing flights, and it may be more difficult to actually schedule your flight if all seats are full during the most desirable times of year. As with most things, you get what you pay for!
Famous Balloon Quote:
There's something in a flying horse,
There's something in a huge balloon.
— William Wordsworth, 'Peter Bell,' Prologue. Stanza 1.
The pilot heats the air in the balloon to rise, and lets the air cool to descend. An experienced pilot has absolute control over the balloon's altitude, but can't turn against the wind. The pilot steers the ballon by finding different air currents that are moving in the direction he wants to fly.

Ballon rides in Topeka
Hot air balloon trips in Grand Prairie
Hot air balloon rides in Worcester
Ballon rides in Columbus
Hot air balloon rides in Burbank

Balloon flights in Aurora
How do you become part of a chase crew? You can look up in the sky and follow the next balloon you see until it lands. Please allow the crew to pack the balloon away before you approach the basket. Then all you have to do is tell one of the crew that you are interested in ballooning. You will more than likely be directed to the pilot, who will either snatch you up for their own crew, then and there, or place you in contact with someone who can find you a home.

The UFC was the center of attention from 7 am to 9 am on ABC’s morning show “Good Morning America.” On the program the UFC announced that Jon Jones will fight Daniel Cormier at UFC 200.
From the UFC press release:
The biggest stars of the UFC from yesterday and today will appear on ABC’s popular morning show from 7-9 a.m.
UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell, No. 1-ranked pound-for-pound fighter Jon Jones, bantamweight champion Miesha Tate, strawweight and current Dancing With the Stars participant Paige VanZant, UFC President Dana White and more will join “GMA” throughout the morning.
The true test of the UFC turning mainstream was not being on ESPN regularly. The test was the UFC making morning shows and weekend network shows that were not centered on sports. Michael Strahan taking over for Regis Philbin on the now named show “LIVE with Kelly and Michael” was a testament to how strong the NFL is the American population’s mind.
Fighters such as Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey had previously made appearances on prominent morning shows.

Tenerife: Full-Day Port Leave!
We woke up excited for a full day of exploring the island and everyone made sure to finish provisioning and cleaning stations as fast as possible. As soon as we were finished some people got picked up by their parents and others went in groups of four together. I made sure my parents got to the boat early so I could spend as much time with them as possible.
Once my parents picked me up, we headed to the place they had rented so I could take a long shower – that was more than the 1-minute long showers we have on the boat. Almost everyone with parents or relatives who came to visit went to their hotels to shower or use the beloved Wi-Fi (I admit, I had spent the previous day at the rental place using the internet). Once we got there I showered, changed, and gathered all the stuff I needed for the long ride to the Southern part of the island. We had been really hoping that the weather would be better there since it had been rainy for the past couple of days where the boat was docked in Santa Cruz. Of course the few days the Gulden Leeuw was in Tenerife it was during the only 14 days a year that it rains!
Once we arrived in the Southern part of the island we were happily surprised to find out that it rarely rains at all in this part of the island. So we had perfect weather and it was a beautiful change of view compared to the rainy past couple of days. It was really nice spending time with my family and walking around exploring. Eventually I began to realize how I can’t simply get candy whenever I want with my parents around, or how there was always a plan on what to do – something that was new after being able to freely explore and wander in our groups of four in other ports. Although it was a change to what I had adapted to, it was really nice to spend time with them.
For lunch we went to the Hard Rock Café. I had never been to one before, so it was an interesting and cool experience. I expected to see some artists I knew on the wall of signed records but most of them were Spanish; although, Britney Spears’ shoes were in a glass case! We sat down and ate some mediocre food, but I got a chocolate shake so it was all good.
After eating we headed down to the boardwalk and walked along the ocean and caught up on all the stuff going on in our lives. They told me about all the things I had missed that were going on back home with my sister, my friends, my family, and of course, my dog. I told them about my new amazing friends, my super cool teachers, and all the fun times we have together. By the time we had finished talking and wandering around it was sunset, so we went to the beach and watched all the amazing colors before us in silence, taking in the moment.
After that sweet moment we headed to a place called the Oriental Monkey for dinner. It was a sushi place! I love sushi, and it was always my family’s tradition to go out for sushi on Sundays. We always went to my favorite sushi restaurant, Yumi, and to this day, I have not been able to find a sushi restaurant that tops Yumi. The Oriental Monkey had good food, and some stellar Miso soup, so it was nice to have a nice Sunday dinner with the family. I ate so much I could barely move (not really, but still it was good!). After dinner we still had some time before curfew so we went and got some gelato and thought about what we wanted to do next.
After finishing my mint-flavored gelato we started heading to the car. We had decided to take the long way back, all the way around the other side of the island so we could take in some new scenery. We got back to the car and got comfortable for our 2-hour ride. Even though it was dark it was still really interesting because there were lots of tunnels and my Dad and I would hold our breath whenever we went through them, just like old times.
It was a nice calming ride. We got back to the rental place with some extra time on our hands so I took some time to FaceTime my sister. We talked about school and about how our mutual friends were doing. It was nice to talk to her.
Then it was time for us to head back to the boat. We got all the stuff my mom had brought for me from home into a big bag and started walking back to where the boat was docked. We took our time, knowing that it would be a while before we would all spent a day together like this again. I will never be too old to hold hands with my parents, so that’s exactly what I did, and it was nice. Once we got closer to the boat we met up with people also on their way to the boat, so we all walked the rest of the way together talking about each other’s days.
Once we got to the boat I said goodbye to my parents and gave them extra big hugs, saying our last goodnights for a while. It was a sad moment, but now I have the next time I see them to look forward too! I miss them already.

|Paper title||Bleeding risk of cerebral cavernous malformations in patients on beta blocker medication: A cohort study|
|Form of presentation||Poster|
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are frequently diagnosed vascular malformations of the brain. Although most CCMs are asymptomatic, some can be responsible for intracerebral hemorrhage or seizures. In selected cases, microsurgical resection belongs to the preferred treatment options. Treatment with the unselective β-blocker Propranolol has been presumed to stabilize and eventually lead to CCMs size regression in a limited number of published case series (1-5). However, the underlying mechanism and the evidence for this effect remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk for CCM-related hemorrhage in patients on long-term β-blocker medication.
A retrospective single center database containing data of 408 patients harboring 542 CCMs was interrogated for a time period of 35 years. Descriptive and survival analysis were performed, focusing on the risk of hemorrhage at presentation and during follow-up in patients on long-term β-blocker medication versus not. Follow-up was censored at the first occurrence of either new hemorrhage, surgery or last clinical review. β-blocker medication was divided in the following main subgroups: any β-blocker, β1-selective β-blocker and any unselective β-blocker.
Of 542 included CCMs, 81 (14.9%) were under a treatment with any β-blocker, 65 (12%) received β1-selective and 16 (3%) any unselective β-blockers. 136 (25.1%) CCMs presented with hemorrhage at diagnosis. None of the β-blocker subgroups was associated with a lower risk of hemorrhage at the time of diagnosis [any β-blocker (p=0.64), β1-selective (p=0.93), any unselective β-blocker (p=0.25)]. 496 CCMs were included into the survival analysis, for a total of 1800 lesion-years. Follow-up hemorrhage occurred in 36 (7.3%) CCMs. β-blocker medication was not associated with a decreased risk for follow-up hemorrhage [any β-blocker (p=0.70; HR 1.19, 95% CI 0.49-2.90), β1-selective (p=0.78; HR 1.15, 95% CI 0.44-3.00), any unselective β-blocker (p=0.76; HR 1.37, 95% CI 0.19-10.08)]. Multivariate cox proportional hazard regression including brainstem location, hemorrhage at diagnosis, age and any β-blocker treatment showed no reduced risk for follow-up hemorrhage under any β-blocker treatment (p=0.53; HR 1.36, 95% CI 0.52-3.56).
In this retrospective cohort study, β-blocker medication does not seem to be associated with a decreased risk of CCM-related hemorrhage at presentation or during follow-up.

A few hours ago, the NDA for the publication of full reviews of GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB video cards expired. Technical journalists, who were able to get the appropriate adapters for testing earlier, finally shared the results of their research. The whole list of publications with posts of reviews is available.
For a superficial analysis of the first results, we will use the indicators obtained by colleagues from TechPowerUp, which tested a reference model GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Founders Edition.
First, the most interesting chart with the average relative performance of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB in Full HD mode based on the results of tests in 25 games. As you can see, the capabilities of the new product are very close to those of the GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB and almost identical to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB. That is, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is only 12-15% faster than its predecessor, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB. A relatively modest performance boost compared to what we’ve seen with the top-of-the-line models of the new RTX 40xx series.
If we talk about absolute indicators, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB managed to provide an average of about 130 fps in Full HD mode with maximum quality settings (without RT and DLSS).
Of course, the average fps is lower in the most difficult projects (The Callisto Protocol – 78 fps; RDR 2 – 89 fps; Cyberpunk 2077 – 93 fps), but in general, these are very comfortable indicators.
In modes with ray tracing, the situation does not fundamentally change. On average, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti managed to outperform the GeForce RTX 3070 by 1% here.
The advantage of GeForce RTX 40xx models is the support of Frame Generation and the DLSS 3 scaling technology implemented on its basis. The support of this version usually allows a noticeable increase in performance. And yes, it will help, including the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. NVIDIA recently reported that the number of games with DLSS 3 has already exceeded three dozen.
The power consumption of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is also excellent. The declared TGP of 160 W initially set benchmarks. Practical tests confirmed the indicators. And for games, the video card consumed about 152 W. A very good result for graphics adapters of this class. The similar performance GeForce RTX 3070 required 232 W. With nearly identical fps, it’s not hard to appreciate the overall improvement in power efficiency.
NVIDIA is initially positioning the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti as a solution for games in Full HD mode. But despite the 128-bit bus and low memory bandwidth (288GB/s), even at 1440p and 4K, the 8GB model doesn’t look bad at all. So, in 1440p it is inferior to GeForce RTX 3070 by 4%, and in 4K the difference increases to 9%. However, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, even in “uncomfortable” conditions, is still ahead of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB and the Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB. However, 4K is definitely not for video cards of this class, especially if there is a desire to use modes with maximum image quality.
In general, after the first acquaintance with the results of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, mixed feelings remain. On the one hand, we get a graphics card with an MSRP of $399 that has RTX 3070-level performance with an MSRP of $499. At the same time, the novelty is much more economical than the previous generation model and supports the promising DLSS 3. On the other hand, compared to its immediate predecessor – GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, with an identical starting price, the new model has a performance increase of only 12-15% in Full HD, about 10% – in 1440p, and 5–6% – in 4K mode. Not too modest an improvement considering it’s been 2.5 years since the RTX 3060 Ti was introduced?

A picture of the Cuyahoga River on fire that appeared in Time Magazine in 1969 and was widely considered to be the impudence for President Nixon subsequently creating the EPA and enacting the Clean Water Act. The symbolism was not lost on RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, who said, “We hope this amazing spectacle will give us the final inspiration we need to get rid of the job killing EPA once and for all. This is the main reason we chose Cleveland as the location for our convention. In fact, awarding it to Cleveland was contingent on them agreeing to doing this for us. We’ve also made arrangements for delegates, dignitaries, and candidates to witness the fire from lobbyists' yachts."
Donald Trump, one of the many Republicans calling for an end to the EPA, commented, “Until we get rid of the Department of Environment (sic) we are going to keep getting beat by China. They’re killing us! How can we compete with all these stupid liberal regulations.” After being reminded that the pollution in China is so bad that they can’t see the sun, Trump responded, “I’m pretty sure my penthouse apartment in Trump Tower will be above the smog.”

Healthy Forests, Healthy Waters
The National Forest Service was created, in part, to safeguard the wooded areas supplying most of the nation’s drinking water. An ongoing rules review will put greater emphasis on watershed protection and restoration. On February 10, the NFS proposed a new forest planning rule, the agency’s first comprehensive rules revision since the Reagan administration. The planning rule will guide management decisions in 193 million acres of forests and grasslands. Specific actions will be a local decision, but each agency unit must identify priority watersheds for restoration, describe watershed conservation practices and monitor their progress. The draft rule is available for public comment until May 16.
Duck, Duck, Reviews
A management review for the National Wildlife Refuge System(Adobe PDF) is also underway. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has posted a draft ‘vision plan’ for managing the 150 million acres in the refuge system. Among the nearly 100 broadly-worded recommendations are appeals for greater scientific involvement and assessments of water quantity and quality to ensure ecosystem health.
Parts of the Great Plains and Midwest are at risk of major floods this spring because of saturated soils and a heavy snowpack, according to forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Areas of concern include Devil’s Lake in North Dakota; the Red River, which forms the North Dakota-Minnesota border; the mainstem of the Mississippi from St. Paul, Minn. to St. Louis; and the James River and Big Sioux River in South Dakota.
To Dust You Shall Return
As the phenomena contributing to climate change become better understood, scientific focus is emphasizing feedback loops—the interaction between processes that can speed up warming trends. One such case in the American Southwest is documented in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of California, Los Angeles used a 20-year land cover record in southeast Utah to show that sustained drought conditions coincided with a decline in vegetation and an increase in airborne dust. This follows a joint NASA-USGS study released last September showing that dust accelerates the melting of snow and reduces runoff from the mountains that feed the Colorado River. More dust, less runoff. Less runoff, less vegetation. Less vegetation, more dust… Dry and repeat.
Southwest Water Shortages, You Say?
The Utah Board of Water Resources has applied for a permit to study the feasibility of the Lake Powell Pipeline project. The 139-mile pipeline, still in its planning stage, would deliver water from Lake Powell to St. George, Utah, one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the U.S. The permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission allows the water board to study the energy generating capability of turbines placed throughout the system. Turbines would be located at regulating reservoirs and within the pipeline itself to recover energy from the moving water. The permit does not allow for any construction. Public comment on the application ends April 23.

Rahul Gandhi meets Chinese, Bhutanese envoys amid Chinese aggression
10 Jul 2017
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi is reported to have secretly met envoys of China and Bhutan at the height of the ongoing Sino-Indian border tension in Doklam, a move that th3e Congress party has failed to explain.
The Congress vice-president met Luo Zhaohui over the weekend though the Congress kept the place and time of the meeting secret.
After keeping the meeting secret for days, Congress media head Randeep Surjewala opened up and admitted that the meeting indeed took place and said Gandhi also met the Bhutan ambassador to India.
The party, however, downplayed the meeting and did not specify its venue or time.
Surjewala termed it a "courtesy call" and said envoys of G5, as well as neighbouring countries, keep meeting Congress president Sonia Gandhi and the vice-president from time to time.
"Be it the Chinese ambassador (Luo Zhaohui) or Bhutanese ambassador (Vetsop Namgyel) or former national security Adviser Shiv Shankar Menon, Rahul Gandhi met all three of them. Nobody should try to sensationalise such normal courtesy calls to term them an event like the sources of the ministry of external affairs are attempting to do," he said.
Surjewala said Rahul and other opposition leaders are "fully aware of our national interests" and are concerned about the "grave situation" on the Indo-Chinese border as well as "the situation arising in Bhutan as also in Sikkim".
Some media reports, meanwhile, said the Chinese embassy today posted the information of Gandhi meeting Zhaohui on its website but later retracted it.
Earlier in the day, the Congress had denied media reports as "fake news" that Rahul Gandhi met a Chinese envoy Luo Zhaohui amid the China-India border standoff at Doklam in Sikkim.
China and India have been engaged in the standoff in the Doklam area near the Bhutan tri-junction for the past three weeks after a Chinese Army's construction party attempted to build a road.
Doka La is part of Bhutan, which Bhutan recognises as Dokalam, while China claims it as part of its Donglang region.

The best time to visit Costa Rica is during the dry season, between December and April. It is noticeably hotter at the coast than in the center of the country. Coastal areas are hot, with temperatures of around 30 degrees, whereas the central area remains temperate all year round and experiences temperatures of around 17 degrees. Costa Rica is a superb country to discover and explore, consisting of mountains, forests and heavenly beaches, and with one of the most favorable climates you could wish for.

Arc de Triomphe is one of the more popular tourist destinations in Paris. I remember arriving at night in Paris for the first time and this was the first monument I saw so it was quite memorable. The structure is actually quite big up close. You can’t cross it from across the street because of vehicular traffic. You need to go underground and emerge right across. You can actually go up the arc by stairs (no elevators) and the admission fee is currently at 8 euros.
We went further down and noticed that there were the cyclists all over town especially here at Champs-Elysees. It’s because of the Tour de France and the finals will be the following day at Champs-Elysees where the finish line would be.
For 20 euros, you get a bag with a T-shirt, a flag, bandana, toy keychain and ribbons. The material was really nice so my cousin and I bought a bag each. They don’t have this kind of thing everyday so we thought that it would make a great souvenir. :)

Wednesday, August 8, 2012
She agreed at a Wednesday evening court hearing to cooperate in an evaluation scheduled for Monday.
Fridley’s close-lipped inmate, “Jane Doe,” made a brief appearance in Anoka County Court this afternoon for a hearing related to the question of whether she is psychiatrically competent to stand trial. At her first appearance in court, Jane Doe identified herself both as a 2-year-old child and the child’s mother. Anoka County authorities discovered her real name, Tammy Thomas, on July 27—but not before her refusal to cooperate with police won her the Anoka County Jail record for longest holding-cell stay. Thomas faces three counts of ID theft, and one count each of trespassing and receiving stolen property, after Fridley police caught her July 9 in a vacant house on Rice Creek Way NE where they said she had draped the windows, hung a …
Thursday, August 2, 2012
She now appears with photo and name 'Tammy Anquinette Thomas' at jail's online roster.
Jane Doe, the woman who wouldn't give authorities her real name or allow jailers to take her photo or fingerprints, has relented after more than three weeks. "She did go through the booking process yesterday at about 12:30 p.m.," Fridley Police Lt. Mike Monsrud said Thursday. "She allowed them to take her photo and fingerprints, but that was about it." The Anoka County Jail online inmate roster for the first time shows her in a pair of booking photos. Her listed name changed from Jane Doe to Tammy Antoinette Thomas last week after police were able to use fingerprints from drinking glasses in jail to trace her to arrest records in DuPage County, IL, just west of Chicago. According to information in those records, Thomas spent her birthday …
Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Tammy Antoinette Thomas won't let Anoka County jailers take her picture or fingerprints, but Fridley police found both on file in Warrenville, IL.
Here are two past mugshots of "Jane Doe," now identified as Tammy Antoinette Thomas—the woman who has refused for three weeks to give Anoka County and Fridley authorities her real name or let them take fingerprints or a booking photo. The photos come from the Warrenville (IL) Police Department. Warrenville, a city west of Chicago, is listed as Thomas' hometown in local arrest records dated June 13, 2011. That's approximately where Fridley police had theorized she might have come from—working backwards from the vacant house in Fridley where they arrested her July 10, 2012, through a series of Wisconsin cities that appeared to trace a route from the Chicago-Gary, IN area. Fingerprints and Photographs But it wasn't the a less-than-ideal photo…
Monday, July 30, 2012
Criminal complaint now bears what Anoka County authorities say is her real name: Tammy Antoinette Thomas.
Here is the amended criminal complaint originally called "Jane Doe" because she wouldn't give law enforcement or the court her real name. It includes new identity-theft charges based on other people's paperwork that police said was in the vacant Fridley house where they caught her July 10, 2012. More:
Fingerprints from jail drinking glasses helped authorities ID her as Tammy Antoinette Thomas.
The woman known as "Jane Doe" because she wouldn't give her real name after her arrest in Fridley three weeks ago now holds the record for longest holding-cell stay at Anoka County Jail, according to Lt. Paul Lenzmeier of the Anoka County Sheriff's Office. "She just beat the record," Lenzmeier said Monday. The woman has yet to be booked into the jail. She remains in a holding cell because she refuses to cooperate with procedures such as allowing jail staff to take her fingerprints or a booking photo. That hasn't changed since last week, when Anoka County authorities identified her as Tammy Antoinette Thomas, age 37. Read the amended criminal complaint that names her and adds three counts of identity theft to previous charges. "The odd …
Saturday, July 28, 2012
How authorities found the 37-year-old's true identity is unclear, the Star Tribune said.
Fridley's famed "Jane Doe" now has a name: Tammy Antoinette Thomas. Anoka County authorities discovered her true identity on Friday, according to a Star Tribune report late Saturday afternoon—but it's not yet clear exactly how, the newspaper said. The woman—held at Anoka County jail since July 10, 2012, on trespassing and receiving stolen property—had given only false names and refused to cooperate with jailers' efforts to take her fingerprints or photograph her, as reported first at Fridley Patch on July 12. On July 13, authorities released a photograph of her with her eyes closed. Amended Complaint An amended criminal complaint (see original complaint here) had more specifics about what authorities allege, the Star Tribune reported. …


I love “The Shawshank Redemption,” and so do a lot of other people. It’s number one on IMDB’s list of the top 250 films. But as much as I love that movie, the studios and the actors love it even more.
The product that keeps on giving
Shawshank is still paying residuals to the performers, after more than twenty years. It’s good for the studios, too. As Russell Adams writes in his Wall Street Journal article, “The Shawshank Residuals:”
“In a shifting Hollywood landscape, film libraries increasingly are the lifeblood of studios.’Shawshank’s’ enduring appeal on television has made it more important than ever—a reliable annuity to help smooth the inevitable bumps in a hit-or-miss box-office business. When studios sell a package of films—many of them stinkers—a ‘Shawshank’ acts as a much-needed locomotive to drag the others behind it.”
The product as annuity
You already know that you should developing products will help secure your future. What you’re going for is an information product that keeps on selling with little or no marketing effort. I call those products “annuity products.”
I’ve got two of those. One is a niche information product that’s now in its third decade of revenue generation. The other is a digital product for supervisors called “The Working Supervisor’s Support Kit.” That one’s been selling for almost ten years.
There’s no secret formula
I used to think that there was a formula for making this Shawshank kind of success happen. Now, I’m sure there isn’t.
My experience and the experience of my clients is that there’s no one way to create that annuity product. But there are some guidelines.
Guidelines for creating an annuity product
- Create the best information products you can.
- Create a lot of good products.
- Promote them.
- Spot the big and the steady sellers.
- Promote them just enough

The model, DJ and activist is excited about her new campaign.
Last week transgender model, DJ and activist Munroe Bergdorf was dropped from L’Oreal’s #YoursTruly diversity campaign after she posted a Facebook status about racism and white privilege.
The announcement, which followed an inflammatory article by the Daily Mail, sent shockwaves around the country as Munroe appeared on programmes including BBC News, Channel 4 News and Good Morning Britain.
In an interview with The Guardian, she said:
“I don’t regret what I said. I’m an activist. Being an activist means calling people out, not just saying what everyone else is saying and what everyone else wants to think and upholding the common consensus. L’Oréal knew that when they hired me.”
It has now been revealed that Munroe will be the face of make-up brand Illamasqua.
The beauty company have long been supporters of Munroe and have featured her in their campaigns before.
Fans took to social media to congratulate the model on her new role. Twitter users also called on pop star Rihanna to make Munroe the face of her new range of cosmetics, Fenty Beauty.

Murray continues hot streak against Troicki
Thursday 23 October 2008
Andy Murray kept his winning run going with a comfortable 6-3, 6-3, first-round victory over Viktor Troicki at the St Petersburg Open yesterday.
The British No 1 is the defending champion and top seed for the event, and after breaking his Serbian opponent in the fifth game he did not look back.
Murray is on a high after making it back-to-back Masters Series victories with a straight-sets win over Gilles Simon in Madrid on Sunday.
He only arrived in Russia yesterday and could have been forgiven for being below par in his first meeting with the 22-year-old Serb, but Murray prides himself on his fitness and was never in any danger of making an early exit.
The 21-year-old racked up his first break point in the fifth game, but Troicki saved it with an ace. The Briton was not to be denied on his second opportunity, however, and moved into a 3-2 lead.
Troicki, who is at a career-high ranking of 53rd, won the first two points of the next game but Murray recovered to cement his break.
Troicki was now struggling and the top seed claimed another break of serve to take the set 6-3. He then made it five games in a row to open up a 2-0 lead in the second set.
Troicki finally ended Murray's run of six straight games to get on the board in the second set, but it was merely delaying the inevitable as the champion easily served out the match.
The Scot will face a tricky test next against exciting young Latvian Ernests Gulbis, who beat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, 6-0, 6-2 in the first round.

The Lake Oromeeh Biosphere Reserve is located at Lake Oromeeh in the north of Iran and forms part of the Caucasus-Iranian Highlands. Salt flats can be found around the lakeshore, while the islands host pistachio forests and Artemisia steppe communities. Other habitats found in the reserve include wetlands, river estuaries, and sandy soils and coasts.
Designation date: 1976
Regional network: South and Central Asia MAB Network (SACAM)
Ecosystem-based network: Wetlands
Surface : 1,077,900 ha
- Core area(s) : 98,380 ha (marine)
- Buffer zone(s) : 79,836 ha (marine)
- Transition zone(s): 358,799 ha (marine); 540,885 ha (terrestrial)

The Lake Oromeeh Biosphere Reserve is one of the most important and valuable aquatic ecosystems in the country. The lake is surrounded by several freshwater wetlands, that produce an area of high ecological significance. Lake Oromeeh is also the largest water body of its kind in the country and is listed as a Ramsar Site for its unique natural and ecological values.
Around 177 flora species have been identified around the reserve and approximately 174 flora species are found on the islands. Among the major plant families around the lake are the Asteraceae family, which includes 33 species, and the Poaceae family, which includes 21 species.
The lake and its surrounding wetlands constitute the main habitat for large algae populations, which play an important role in the food chain of the lake. For this reason, Lake Oromeeh is home to many migratory birds during winter months. In addition, the islands in the lake provide habitats for a large number of breeding flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) and white pelicans (Pelecanus onocrotalus), while 11 aquatic bird species found in the region are at risk of extinction. The southern islands also provide habitats for two endangered mammals: the Iranian fallow bear and the Armenian mouflon (Ovis orientalis gmelini).
The core and buffer zones of the Lake Oromeeh Biosphere Reserve are un inhabited, but the transition zone hosts more than 36 cities with a population of over 2 million people. The ethnic origin of over 70 percent of the population is Turk, while 7 percent are Kurds and the remainder belong to various other groups. People in the area engage in agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, handicrafts, apiculture, mining and industry. Extraction of salt by traditional techniques and ecotourism are the main economic activities within the reserve.

The company is targeting adjusted earnings-per-share growth of 12% or more through 2020. It's planning to accomplish this goal in part by increasing sales of QuantiFERON-TB and by capturing at least 20% of the oncology benchtop sequencing market share for GeneReader NGS. Better buy I suspect that Qiagen might be able to deliver on its goals, which would likely push the stock higher. However, my vote between these two stocks goes to Opko. The 20% drop in Opko's value following the disappointing clinical results for hGH-CTP provides a good opportunity for a rebound. While there's definitely a risk that more bad news for the human growth hormone could weigh the stock down, I think the company has enough irons in the fire that something will serve as a positive catalyst this year to send shares higher. 10 stocks we like better than Opko Health When investing geniuses David and Tom Gardner have a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the newsletter they have run for over a decade, Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has tripled the market.* David and Tom just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy right now... and Opko Health wasn't one of them!

Bulgaria’s caretaker government voted unanimously on March 8 to call for the European Commission to terminate the contract with Pfizer-BioNTech for the purchase and supply of vaccines against Covid-19, caretaker Health Minister Assen Medzhidiev said.
The other option was to take into account the needs of the EU member states, to request specific quantities, with a specific expiration date, and to pay after delivery, Medzhidiev said.
Bulgaria will put this position at a meeting of EU health ministers to be held on March 14 in Brussels.
“We are categorical in this position, with which we protect the state interest. We were also supported by the Minister of Health of the Republic of Poland, and in recent days we received support from six more EU member states,” Medzhidiev said.
On February 27, Medzhidiev said that more than 1.3 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine against Covid-19 delivered to Bulgaria have been scrapped, and in all so far the country has scrapped just more than 2.3 million doses of vaccines against Covid-19.
In the current year 2023, nearly 2.8 million doses are to be scrapped, Medzhidiev said.
With anti-vaxxer sentiment high in Bulgaria, and in spite of credible qualified medical specialists and institutions emphasising the benefits of vaccination, the country has a rate of completed vaccinations against Covid-19 of only about 30 per cent.

For some tenants, past-due rent was forgiven
Their rent past due, some tenants were apprehensive when the landlord showed up at their door.
But these landlords carried balloons and some good news. The rent was paid up.
They were among 45 Santa Ana property owners participating in program in which the city paid landlords up to 80% of overdue rent if they agreed to forgive the balance.
The money came from the Santa Ana Cares Act program, funded by federal dollars. It helped 323 families in Santa Ana, including some who hadn’t been able to pay rent since the year’s first lockdown in April.
“The sense of relief given to these families was very special. It was almost like hitting the lottery,” said Claudia Shaw, a loan specialist in the city’s community development department, which administers affordable housing programs.
Some people cried. One woman dropped to the ground and put up her hands in prayer. Another tenant smiled broadly and asked: “Are you serious?”
Those were just the tenants at five properties operated by Advance Management Company, which participated in the program and hand-delivered letters and balloons to notify the tenants in early September that they didn’t have to pay the back rent.
“They were so happy,” said Vicki Binford, director of property operations for the Irvine-based company.
“We tried to make it an event. That made it meaningful for everyone,” Binford added. “The people who delivered the letters were in tears too.”
Twenty-two more families at a sixth property, River House Apartments on Seventeenth Street, will be notified this week.
Of the 45 landlords who participated, 30 property owners have complexes with multi-family units and the rest are individual owners with one or two rentals, Shaw said.
The program ended Dec. 18 and paid out $1,140,957 to the landlords, who in turn forgave $285,239 from the tenants, Shaw said.
The idea came about as city officials pondered how to distribute $28.6 million in federal dollars via the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act. City officials had several conference calls with property owners to hash out how much of a cut they would be willing to take if the city agreed to cover past due rents.
As part of the agreement, the landlords cannot “go after the tenants for the last 20 %,” Shaw said. They also agreed to other stipulations, including not raising rents or evicting tenants for non-payment for six months from the date of the agreement they signed with the city.
That round of landlord assistance was coupled with a separate program that directly helps (different) tenants with their rent, paying up to $3,000. Combining the tenant and landlord programs, Shaw said the city helped 1,125 families.
Santa Ana also used CARES Act money on a mobile health resource unit that provided free COVID-19 tests, masks and other resources at parks and neighborhoods around the city.
And for those who already have COVID-19, the city offered free hotel rooms to family members living with someone who came down with the virus. The “isolation assistance program” helped 207 people stay at two hotels near Orange County’s John Wayne Airport, the Holiday Inn Express and the Embassy Suites. That, in turn, allowed some 81 Santa Ana residents to distance themselves and recover at home, without endangering anyone else, said Sylvia Vazquez, a city economic development specialist.
“We had one situation with 10 people in a home and mom (who) wanted to get away with her three kids,” Vazquez said. Another woman who is a diabetic stayed at a hotel with her daughter to avoid the disease, while others in the program included people who rent rooms in larger houses. “In one scenario, the renter was sick so we offered assistance to the family,” Vazquez said.
The hotel stays were good for up to 14 days, although some people were allowed to stay longer. The program ended Dec. 16.
Santa Ana, a densely packed city with a large low-income Latino community, has been hit hard by the virus. On Dec. 17, city and school officials launched a public awareness campaign along with the local non-profit Latino Health Access to encourage mask use and other precautions.
With possible new federal money coming, Santa Ana officials anticipate reviving the assistance programs, or at least some form of them, Shaw said.
“I’ve had people who missed the boat (because) they didn’t apply in time,” Shaw said. She told them to call back in January.

Drake’s new album For All the Dogs was supposed to hit the shelves next week, but we’ll have to wait for it a little bit longer. The Canadian rapper pushed back the release of his eighth studio album for October because he’ll need more time to finish it up.
For All the Dogs was supposed to hit the shelves on September 22, but it’ll now be released on October 6. Drake decided to delay its release once again to focus on wrapping up his ongoing It’s All a Blur Tour with 21 Savage, which will conclude on October 9.
“Okay, my dilemma I am faced with is I either cancel shows to finish the album or I complete the mission and drop the album before the last show. I owe you all these memories we are building and anywhere we have missed to date we will be spinning back for sure,” wrote Drake on social media.
The release of For All the Dogs has been delayed several times after Drake shared its cover art, drawn by his son Adonis, back in August. “Search & Rescue” was released as its lead single back in April, while Drake dropped the second single “Slime You Out” ft. SZA just this Friday.

One of our favourite Sharp products at Clarity Copiers Glamorgan currently is the new smart atmospheric water generator. Why do we love it so much?
Because the Skywell 5TE is ahead of the game! Rather than spending heaps of money on bottled water for you staff or using conventional plumbing, the Skywell 5TE delivers clean and pure water to your office. But that’s not the best part...Skywell’s water source is simply the ambient air in your office.
Yes, that’s right, it takes the air around us and turns it into water. This is done through a series of condensation, filtration and purification processes.
But, how does it create safe clean water? Well, Skywell comes equipped with a built-in monitoring system that frequently checks the quality of the water being produced, so you’re guaranteed to have high quality and fresh water, every time. The magic happens all thanks to the air filtration. This system works by using a series of electrostatic air filters, which takes all the particles in the air and removes them before the water condenses on the coil. Any remaining particles left will be removed through finer strainers.
For the next stage of the process, the water is filtered through a Granular Activated Carbon Filter, this is simply a carbon block filter. Finally, the Ultra-fine Filter filters the water down and creates a comprehensive barrier against viruses and bacteria.
Once the filtering stage has been carried out, the water is then exposed to Ultraviolet Light Disinfection. This stage exposes the water to a patented UV light which will then disinfection the water. As an additional layer of water quality protection ozone is introduced into the top tank. A final filtration Stage is then carried out to the pre-dispense lines using a 0.2 micron “Ultra Fine” Filter in the cold line and a 200 mesh filter in the hot line just before dispensing, this ensures that the purest and cleanest water reaches the glass each and every time.
Encourage your staff to stay healthy and hydrated today!

Dumb me down
Latest news on the That’s Outrageous! I’m Outraged! Harrumph Harrumph front:
n April, at an otherwise mundane meeting of the school board here, Brittany Hunsicker, a 16-year-old student at the local high school, stood up and addressed the assembled board members.
“How would you like if your son and daughter had to read this?” Miss Hunsicker asked.
Then she began to recite from “The Buffalo Tree,” a novel set in a juvenile detention center and narrated by a tough, 12-year-old boy incarcerated there. What she read was a scene set in a communal shower, where another adolescent boy is sexually aroused.
“I am in the 11th grade,” Miss Hunsicker said. “I had to read this junk.”
Less than an hour later, by a unanimous vote of the board (two of its nine members were absent) “The Buffalo Tree” was banned, officially excised from the Muhlenberg High School curriculum. By 8:30 the next morning all classroom copies of the book had been collected and stored in a vault in the principal’s office. Thus began a still unresolved battle here over the fate of “The Buffalo Tree,” a young adult novel by Adam Rapp that was published eight years ago by HarperCollins and has been on the 11th-grade reading list at Muhlenberg High since 2000. Pitting teachers, students and others who say the context of the novel’s language makes it appropriate for the classroom against those parents and board members who say context be damned, it is a dispute illustrative of the so-called culture war, which, in spite of its national implications, is fought in almost exclusively local skirmishes. The board was set to meet the evening of June 1 to reconsider its decision.
Miss Hunsicker, who is sixteen, is having problems with a book that, according to the School Library Journal is intended for grades 7 and up:
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up. The brutal world of a juvenile detention center is the setting for this compelling story of survival and redemption, re-created through a 13 year old’s inventive use of language.
Why is this happening now? It’s a sign of the times:
According to the American Library Association, which asks school districts and libraries to report efforts to ban books – that is, have them removed from shelves or reading lists – they are on the rise again: 547 books were challenged last year, up from 458 in 2003. These aren’t record numbers. In the 1990’s the appearance of the Harry Potter books, with their themes of witchcraft and wizardry, caused a raft of objections from evangelical Christians.
Judith Krug, director of the library association’s office for intellectual freedom, attributed the most recent spike to the empowerment of conservatives in general and to the re-election of President Bush in particular. The same thing happened 25 years ago, she said. “In 1980, we were dealing with an average of 300 or so challenges a year, and then Reagan was elected,” she said. “And challenges went to 900 or 1,000 a year.”
…and the evangelicals are feeling their oats (if that’s not a sin, of course):
Muhlenberg is a township of modest homes and 10,000 people or so, a bedroom community for the city of Reading, in the southeastern quadrant of the state. It is conservative politically and almost entirely white, and there are a growing number of evangelical Christians. Miss Hunsicker had just returned from a two-week church mission in Honduras when, encouraged by her mother, she made her public complaint.
..and what follows is the local columnist who is ‘agin’ it…even though he hasn’t read it:
In May a column appeared headlined “The Upside of Censorship,” by a regular columnist, John D. Forester Jr., who wrote that after reading only “passages” of “The Buffalo Tree,” “I am actually applauding the efforts of parents to have books banished in their school libraries and classrooms.” A few days later, an editorial took the opposing view.
…and another one of those dreary well-meaning sensible mothers who wants her babies to remain babies:
Several students spoke with more reasonable passion about the value of the novel, and one high school senior, Mary Isamoyer, offered to replace the missing library copies of “The Buffalo Tree” with her own.
“Do not insult our intelligence by keeping this book from us,” she said.
Tammy Hahn, a mother of four and perhaps the most outspoken of the book’s opponents, responded that the students’ view was irrelevant. She was not about to let her daughter take part in a classroom discussion about erections, she said, adding that it amounted to harassment to subject a girl to the smirks and innuendoes of male classmates who would have no sympathy for her discomfort.
“This is not about a child’s opinion,” she said of the students’ defense of the book. “This is about parents.”
Congratulations Tammy, you’ve just opened the door to making your daughter the Erection Queen of Muhlenberg High School. When she slams her door on you while screaming “I hate you! I hate you! You fat drunken cow!” you can look back on this moment and be proud.


Three Nights Exploring New York City’s Intimate Music Scene
As a passionate (and admittedly addicted) traveler, I make it a priority to fully immerse myself in the local culture of the places I visit. While some may prioritize visiting famous landmarks and tourist hotspots, I find myself drawn to more intimate experiences. One such experience that never fails to rejuvenate me is discovering hidden music venues featuring talented local musicians who may not have gained widespread recognition.
Big cities offer ample opportunities to indulge in gastronomic delights, visit museums and art galleries, watch theatrical performances, and take in the culture. But for me, the magic of exploring these cities lies not in the typical popular spots but in discovering hidden corners where locals go to experience the city’s culture.
One such hidden corner was the Jazz life at Arteria, a jazz club that I visited in Tbilisi, Georgia. It was a cozy little venue that didn’t look like much from the outside, but inside, I felt like I had stepped into another world. The dimly lit interior with red velvet curtains, candlelit tables, and a small stage set the perfect ambiance for jazz music. The musicians, who hailed from Georgia, Russia, and Italy, were incredibly talented and passionate about their craft, making it a mesmerizing experience for everyone in the audience.
Similarly, the Harris Piano Jazz Bar in Krakow, Poland, is another hidden gem. This is a small venue in the basement of a building just off Market Square in Old Town. The intimate space, which can hold around 60 people, offers an unforgettable experience for jazz enthusiasts. The venue boasts a decor that is both minimalistic and refined, while the genuine stars of the evening are the jazz musicians whose passion and flawless skills ignite an electric atmosphere for the captivated audience.
There is a certain charm to these lesser-known venues that big music halls or concert arenas can never replicate. The intimate setting, the rapport between the musicians and the audience, and the raw talent on display create a unique atmosphere not found elsewhere.
I recently journeyed to New York City to spend time with my nieces, Emily and…

I made eight of these and a bunch of fall and Halloween wreaths! That left little time for papercrafting!!! I have a whole bunch of scrap goodies that I purchased on my trip that I've been just dying to play with!! Soon....** sigh***
I managed to spare a few moments to play along with the current card sketch over at Cardabilities. Here is the latest sketch:
And here is my interpretation of this sketch........
I started off with a kraft cardstock base and then a chocolate brown cs layer. My patterned paper is from Basic Grey called Paper Cottage,which I distressed and inked. I used a chicken wire stencil (The Crafter'sWorkshop) and some gold embossing paste ( Dreamweaver Stencils;Studio 490).... I love the texture of this paste. For a bit more color, I splattered inks from Ranger's Dylusions line in yellow and gold. The journaling block( distressed and inked) and flower are from Prima and the sentiment is rom C.C. Designs. I adhered a scarp of burlap , just because !!! A few Doodlebug Designs sequins and my card is finished!
Thanks for visiting my blog today.... have a wonderful creative day!!!

The argument for this duty-based perspective is made by examining two particularly contentious duties: duties to aid the global poor and civic duties. These two duties serve as case studies and are explored from the perspectives of political theory, jurisprudence and moral philosophy. The argument is made that both these duties can only be adequately defined and allocated if we adopt the perspective of duties, as the predominant perspective of rights either does not recognize them to be duties at all or else leaves their content and allocation indefinite.
This renewed focus on duties does not wish to diminish the importance of rights. Rather, the duty-based perspective on morality will strengthen human rights discourse by distinguishing more strictly between genuine and inauthentic rights. Furthermore, a duty-based approach enriches our moral landscape by recognizing both duties of justice and duties of virtue. The latter duties are not less important or supererogatory, but function as indispensable complements to the duties prescribed by justice.
In this perceptive and exceptionally lucid book, Eric Boot argues that a duty-focused approach to morality will remedy the shortcomings he finds in the standard accounts of human rights. The study tackles staple philosophical topics such as the contrasts between duties of virtue and duties of justice and imperfect and perfect obligations. But more importantly perhaps, it also confronts the practical question of what our human rights duties are and how we ought to act on them. Boot's book is a splendid example of how philosophy can engage and clarify real world problems.

A lively and enjoyable defence of the importance of our having duties to fellow human beings in severe poverty. At a time when global justice has never been more urgent, this new book sheds much needed light.

My dog is a chocolate lab mix with the sweetest disposition. She loves to play; she loves to fetch, to run, to snuggle. She is a great dog. As we left the shelter we immediately named her Sugar. It just seemed the perfect name for her. In short, we love our dog.
Our house has hard flooring throughout the main level. When she gets playful, Sugar slips and slides across the floor with joy as she runs to play with you, her feet spinning because her nails can’t get a good grip. When I come home from work—or even leave the house for five minutes—she races to the door to meet me, tail wagging, as though I had given her complete joy and fulfillment. She follows me almost everywhere I go. She comes when I call (most of the time). Sugar is a great dog.
Many trainers say the you should bend down and approach backwards when you first meet a dog, as it shows that you are not a threat. I have done that with aggressive dogs, but never with Sugar. With her gentle demeanor she even allows our kids to pull and tug on her, to sit on top of her and ride her like a horse. Although we are continually telling them to be gentle, Sugar is patient. You can see the love in her eyes. She loves people.
This morning when I was playing with her she rolled over onto her back (as she often does) as though to say, “Please, will you rub my belly.” As I reached to pet her a thought came to my mind. When a dog does that, they are telling you, “I am vulnerable. I am completely open and trusting you. You could hurt me right now if you wanted to. But I am trusting you.”
My pastor mind kicked into gear. There was a lesson here, even if it was a lesson from a dog. Then it came to me. As Sugar was being completely trusting and vulnerable to me, so we should be with God.
Yes, our tendency is to close ourselves off, to stay in a position of defense. Often this is because we have been hurt in the past. We don’t know who to trust.
But with God, things are different. We can be open and exposed before God. We can trust that He will not hurt us.
The Book of John gives us some understanding as to why. In chapter 14, verse 18, Jesus says, “I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” He goes on to say, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends,” John 15:13.
Jesus came and surrendered His life for us. His love for us was so great that He gave us His surrender. Will you surrender all to Him? Jesus would do anything to be with us; in fact He did. He died…for you. If you will give your life completely to Him, if you will let Him rule your time, and your choices, if you will be vulnerable and open your heart to Him, He will never hurt you. He promises to provide for you in greater ways than you can imagine. And God always keeps His promises.

What is a Legally Compliant OPEB (Retiree Healthcare) Trust in Texas?Categories: OPEB/GASB 45/75,PARS News,Texas Developments
Prefunding retiree healthcare (OPEB) benefits through a legally compliant trust can help entities lower long-term OPEB liabilities, preserve positive credit ratings and generate investment income through diversified investing. But these benefits can only be realized if the OPEB trust is in compliance with GASB 45/75 rules as well as Texas and federal law.
To be legally compliant, it is important to remember that the trust must:
- Be irrevocable
- Be dedicated to retiree healthcare benefits only
- Not be accessible to creditors
- Have dedicated and signed trust documents that establish how the trust will be governed
With 20+ years of OPEB trust administration experience and over 300 clients, PARS’ comprehensive OPEB trust program already complies with each of the requirements listed above. Our signature-ready implementation documents have received an IRS Private Letter Ruling, and have been reviewed by attorneys both in Texas and nationwide. Additionally, we provide ongoing compliance monitoring to reduce the burden, costs and workload on participating agency staff.
To learn more about the PARS OPEB Trust Program and to begin the process of addressing your agency’s long term retiree healthcare liabilities, please contact:
