World Health Organization (WHO) marks the theme of 31 May of the World No Tobacco Day in 2016 as "Get ready for plain packaging ".
Plain packaging is a measure that restrict or prohibit the use of logos, colors, brand images or promotional information on tobacco packaging other than brand names and product names displayed in a standard color and font style. According to WHO, it is an important demand reduction measure that reduces the attractiveness of tobacco products, restricts use of tobacco packaging as a form of tobacco advertising and promotion, limits misleading packaging and labelling, and increases the effectiveness of health warnings.
Australia is the first country to implement plain packaging in December 2012. A number of countries, including Ireland, United Kingdom and France, have passed the laws to implement plain packaging or in advanced stages of considering adoption.
The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) recommends that Parties consider adoption of plain packaging. Through the World No Tobacco Day 2016, WHO aims to highlight the role of plain packaging as part of a comprehensive, multi spectral approach to tobacco control and facilitate policy development by Member States. Moreover, WHO encourages Member States to work towards plain packaging in a step-wise approach by strengthening packaging and labeling measures and restrictions on advertising, promotion and sponsorship.

St Lucia Rainforest Tours
Many visitors to Saint Lucia see nothing more than the coast, and only the Caribbean coast at that. But the rugged hinterland can offer more than just an exotic green background in your beach holiday snaps. Stretches of untouched rainforest are the green heart of St. Lucia, teeming with vegetation and local species such as the colorful St. Lucia Parrot.
Much of the mountainous, largely unpopulated interior comes under the auspices of the Forestry Department, who control the various trails. Popular routes include the Edmund Forest Reserve, from which you emerge in the shadow of Mount Gimie, the island's tallest peak, and the more demanding Des Cartiers trail, which takes you right off the beaten track in the island's east.
Practical Info
Many areas in the interior are protected and you will need express permission from the Forestry Department to enter them. In some cases you will be assigned a guide.

Maritime Law
Working in the maritime industry is a profitable and successful form of employment for many people, especially for those in areas like the Pacific Northwest, that thrive on the impact the maritime industry has on their economies. However, the perks of being a maritime employee are also weighed against a certain amount of risk. Maritime jobs like working as a commercial fisherman in the North Pacific, or working on a tugboat in Puget Sound are dangerous and come with a substantial risk for injury.
Thankfully, both general maritime law and specific laws like the Jones Act provide a means for recovery for the maritime worker and/or his family when he or she is injured on the job. The special nature of the maritime industry means that the laws are complex. So, when fighting to recover for you or your loved one's maritime injury, it is important to hire a skilled and experienced Seattle maritime injury attorney serving cases throughout the Pacific Northwest and coast-to-coast.
Maritime and Admiralty Laws in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, and California
Since 1977, Anderson Carey & Williams has fought relentlessly for the compensation needs of injured maritime workers and their families. Fueled by a personal passion for a myriad of maritime pursuits, the experienced maritime injury attorneys of Anderson Carey & Williams take their duty to injured seamen and harbor workers very seriously. They work very hard to build a comprehensive case in every maritime accident claim in order to achieve the maximum compensation available.
If you have been injured at port in Seattle, Portland, Bellingham, or elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest or at sea in the North Pacific, Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, Puget Sound, or the Inside Passage of Southeast Alaska, contact the passionate and experienced maritime injury lawyers at Anderson Carey & Williams. No matter if your case is against a third party, vessel owner, or a large insurance company, our qualified maritime injury attorneys will do whatever it takes to get you the compensation you need – even if it means going to court.
Though Anderson Carey & Williams is based in the Pacific Northwest, we have resources that extend beyond those boundaries and will take cases from coast-to-coast, including California and Hawaii. To find out what Anderson Carey & Williams can do for your injury as a harbor worker, seaman, or other maritime worker, call 1-800-262-8529 today and schedule your free initial case consultation.
Effective Nationwide Representation for Maritime Employees
The maritime industry is full of countless positions, many of which are protected by maritime and admiralty law. Whether you work as a server on a cruise ship out of Alaska, or on a stormy deck in the North Pacific as a commercial fisherman, working on the sea comes with severe risk for injury.
If this injury is due to the negligence of a third party, your employer, or to the unseaworthiness of the vessel, you may have a claim as a seaman under the Jones Act or the unseaworthiness doctrine. Anderson Carey & Williams is proud to serve the following employees, as well as other seaman, in recovering compensation for their injuries:
- Merchant mariners
- Able-Bodied Seamen
- Ordinary Seamen
- Mates
- Officers
- Engineers
- Commercial Fishermen
- Fish Processors
- Tugboat Crew and Officers
- Tankermen
- Deckhands
- Ferry Workers
- Commercial Divers
- Cruise Ship Staff
Oil Rig Workers
Additionally, we serve the civil representation needs of recreational boating victims and boat passengers (such as on cruise ships or yachts), as well as the needs of shoreside workers like longshoremen, harbor workers, dockyard workers, shipyard workers, cargo operations, and crane operators when their claim is against a third party or under the unseaworthiness doctrine. The laws regarding what maritime employee can claim what under which legal provision are complicated. An experienced Bellingham maritime injury lawyer will know what paths are favorable for your case.
Admiralty Law for the Protection of Maritime Workers
As a maritime worker, what kind of injury claim you can bring is heavily regulated by maritime law. How, when, and why the injury happened , as well as what your actual job in, all impact the type of claim you can bring and who you can bring it against. This is because different maritime employees and passengers are covered under different laws. It is highly recommended you work with a qualified Portland maritime injury attorney to determine which of the following laws you need to pursue your claim under:
The Jones Act – Also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, the Jones Act gives injured seamen a means for claiming damages for their injury against a negligent employer.
Unseaworthiness Doctrine – This provision under general maritime law protects seamen from vessel owners whose vessel is not seaworthy for its purpose. An injured seaman can pursue action against the vessel owner under this doctrine if it is proven that a negligent condition on the ship caused the injury.
Death on the High Seas Act – Commonly abbreviated as DOSHA, this act covers the death of seamen when it occurs beyond the reach of the territorial waters of the United States. Loved ones who have lost a loved one in these conditions due to negligence can bring a claim under DOHSA.
Longshore and Harbor Worker's Compensation Act – Many maritime workers are employed shoreside and rarely qualify for claims under unseaworthiness or the Jones Act. The LHWCA protects dock workers and other shoreside employees through the provision of automatic benefits similar to worker's compensation.
General Maritime Law – Some claims, such as for injured passengers, have no particular law governing civil justice for injuries. General maritime law could provide the means for a claim depending on the case.
Anderson Carey & Williams | Attorneys for Federal Maritime and Admiralty Law
If you are a maritime worker injured in your job anywhere in the United States, including Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, and California, contact the experienced maritime injury attorneys of Anderson Carey & Williams. They will determine the best legal avenues available to your case and fight for favorable compensation. Your first consultation is free, so call 1-800-262-8529 today and schedule yours.

Brad Miller is currently riding a 16 game hitting streak in AAA, has a hit in 18 of his 20 games since being promoted to AAA, and is hitting .341 - 21 R - 4 HR - 23 RBI - 1 SB in only 20 games at Tacoma.
Now, the reason Miller isn't in the majors is his glove. Sadly, he does have 6 errors already in those 20 games, but he sat out tonight... could this mean an imminent call-up? I really hope so..
Carlos Triunfel started at SS tonight for Seattle. He's hitting .048. Brendan Ryan, the normal Mariners SS is hitting .203 with 192 ABs under his belt. We're gonna see Brad Miller soon and their up the middle tandom of Miller/Franklin will provide the Mariners with one of the better offensive double play combos in baseball for years to come. Yes, I did just say that.
Miller's base autos (2012 Bowman Chrome) sell for about $10, his refractor autos about $15. I'm buying as many as I can get.
Here's a nice article from faketeams.com, backing up my enthusiasm.

Malthusianism: Theory vs Data
Like Curunir, I found Robin Hanson's post on the "Dream Time" interesting. What struck me most is his prediction that our descendants will fall back to Malthusian economics: as the population grows, there are less resources for everyone, and the average wealth per capita is barely enough to survive.
Briefly, Malthusian economics, which held for all of history prior to 1800, is as follows. Start with the per capita wealth at subsistence levels. As technology improves, wealth grows. This allows people to have more children. Now there are fewer resources for everyone, so average wealth falls back down to subsistence levels.
Since 1800, in the First World, the dynamic has changed. As societies progress and accrue wealth, people generally decide to have fewer children, and the population stabilizes. Technology continues to improve, and per capita, people become richer.
The Malthusian skeptic of today sees all of this as temporary. His argument is:
* Forget the term "people". Think rather of "replicating beings". These beings have a strong tendency to make as many copies of themselves as possible.
* There are limited resources in the universe.
* The more beings there are, the less resources each can have.
* Technology can help us use our resources more efficiently, possibly making more resources available to everyone, but there is a limit to how much technology can do this.
* There might be some--or even a large majority of--beings that decide not to make many copies of themselves, but all it takes is a tiny subset that multiply fruitfully, and soon these fecund rebels will replace their less fertile cousins.
* Sure, we do not currently live by Malthusian economics, but sooner or later, Malthusian economics has to re-assert itself. Our wealth and abundance is temporary.
This is one instance in which the theory seems compelling even if it's counter to current trends. It's also depressing to me since I always thought of progress as a given, with people getting richer all the time. The only arguments I can think of against Malthusian re-assertion are that:
1) Beings could decide to enforce limited replication.
2) We don't know everything there is to know about physics. Resources may not be as limited as they appear today.
Factor in strong property
Factor in strong property rights.
Well, first I will mention that I think we are currently grossly underpopulated given modern technology.
Now back to property rights. Suppose a woman has 100 children. What are they going to do? Some of them will find gainful employment. Those children will no net enrich those around them - their employers, their customers. Some of them will turn to property violations to sustain themselves, but strong property rights will eliminate them from the gene pool (and so the woman has an incentive not to have them at all - since they are a waste of her energy). The remainder will be parasites, i.e., they will be unable to offer value for value to anyone. Because of strong property rights, they will be stuck at home. The woman also has an incentive not to to have them either, because they uselessly deplete her resources.
The woman who desires to maximize the survival of her genetic line will therefore optimize. She will have few enough children so that she can then afford to endow them with the gifts that will make them useful to others, i.e., employable. If she has more than the optimal number, then the excess will die and her investment in those will have been wasted.
Property rights internalize costs, and the cost of having too many children is internalized to the genetic line.
However, maybe about ten years ago I was reading a transhumanist paper, which I only dimly recall, which suggested that the mechanism of Malthusian impoverishment would be through economic competition. You can, of course, impoverish your competitors without violating their property rights, and so my above account might have missed that avenue. However, I am not sure this is a negative externality on net, because the only way you can out-compete someone is by offering better value for value. And I think it's the net externalities that are killer in the Malthusian nightmare. What a mother will want to do in response to this is make sure that her children are above-marginal contributors, because if they are not then, again, her investment in them will have been wasted.
Anyway, I offer these half-baked thoughts as a possible alternative to the Malthusian scenario.
Even so
Even with strong property rights, the majority of individuals will be near subsistence level. If some people with a majority of the wealth choose not to reproduce, and if their descendants stick with that plan, then later a majority of wealth may be with rich folks, but still a majority of people would be poor.
I'm not seeing it. As I
I'm not seeing it. As I understand the Malthusian argument, externalities play an important role. That is, if a parent has four children instead of two, then those four children aren't mainly going to be competing with each other for food - they'll go their separate ways and compete with strangers for food. That being the case, there is every incentive to have four, eight, sixteen, 32 children, since each additional child will mostly eat the lunch of some stranger, rather than the lunch of a sibling. But once you internalize the costs to the family, so that additional children take food out of the mouths of their siblings, then you're going to want to limit the number of children you have.
Property rights go a long way to internalizing costs. In that case, what's left of the Malthusian argument? Are you arguing that some parents will choose to have precisely enough children so that the children will all be poor?
Also, I'm not sure what "poor" really means. Bill Gates has a lot of stuff, but conceivably a "poor" person could buy a cheap virtual reality machine that gave him the subjective experience of wealth. Is that ruled out, or is that included in the definition or "poor"? If included, then poverty need not be miserable.
Anyway, this speculation seems to me to involve the distant future. The heat death of the universe might come first. Or the death of the human race.

I have not read the RH's article in full yet. Quick comment.
I think that's a really good point you raised there. Not only will that Virtual Reality Machine muddy the waters for the meaning of "poor" but also, perhaps, all subjective experience. Let's hope the fucker is cheap though eh?
He says:
When our distant descendants think about our era, however, differences will loom larger. Yes they will see that we were more like them in knowing more things, and in having less contact with a wild nature. But our brief period of very rapid growth and discovery and our globally integrated economy and culture will be quite foreign to them. Yet even these differences will pale relative to one huge difference: our lives are far more dominated by consequential delusions: wildly false beliefs and non-adaptive values that matter. While our descendants may explore delusion-dominated virtual realities, they will well understand that such things cannot be real, and don't much influence history. In contrast, we live in the brief but important "dreamtime" when delusions drove history. Our descendants will remember our era as the one where the human capacity to sincerely believe crazy non-adaptive things, and act on those beliefs, was dialed to the max.
I think I object to the bolded statement.
Empirically false
Even with strong property rights, the majority of individuals will be near subsistence level.
Empirically false. It is weak property rights which hare associated wit subsistence living, and strong that are associated with low birth rates.
You have empirical data
You have empirical data about the future? What are next week's winning lottery numbers, if I may ask?
We have empirical data about the past
Stronger property rights correlate with a reduction in subsistence living and birth rates. We are already in the Malthusian future. Malthus was wrong.
You may be failing to
You may be failing to account for the fact that Hanson is talking about a post-singularity future, if I recall his argument correctly.
No mention of singularity
I don't know just looked at it and there is no mention of a singularity. I also dispute that poor and subsistence living are identical. Our poor live a far higher than subsistence living.
I don't know what it going to be like in the distant future but assuming that the majority will be at subsistence with strong property rights is not a good bet. A better bet is that there may not be strong property rights in the first place because the majority do not live with that.
If the world's population
If the world's population hasn't already peaked, it's not far away. The question is whether it will fall because of the lower fertility rate that is associated with the relative wealth and well being that comes with free markets or because of the starvation and wars that inevitably result from authoritarian central planners pursuing their greed for power.
Regards, Don
The current world fertility situation is an accident of current biological preferences.
What happens when we can upload ourselves into computers? If I can upload myself, and earn more than the cost of the computer I run on, then I am going to do so. And I am going to keep making copies of myself, because, why not? That will push the return to the jobs that my uploaded self can do down, and it won't stop until the uploads are break-even - they can only barely earn what they cost.
Same argument goes for AI. I believe uploading and AI are both basically inevitable. Therefore, Malthusianism.

For a long time that need not happen. For a long time, the greater the population, the larger the economy, and the more productive each person becomes. A large city can do more per capita than a small town. Economists have long advocated free trade between countries because that effectively increases the size of the economy, allowing greater division of labor in accordance with comparative advantage.
There will eventually be some hard limit reached, possibly something like amount of RAM or hard drive space to store all of you, but initially the greater number of yous available to sell labor product will be matched by an equally greater number of yous available to buy labor product, and so you will all enjoy greater, not less, wealth.
So why doesn't this happen today?

This sounds just like what my Mormon friend is doing. He and his wife have made 6 copies of themselves, the cost being a middle class existence for the resulting 8 person family instead of an upper class existence for a 4 person family.
So Mormons engage in this behavior. But why doesn't everyone? Why don't people today multiply like rabbits? Why do most people in the First World decide to have fewer children than they could have given their resources? Why won't uploads decide to do the same (make fewer copies than they could)?
Let's take Mormons...
...as Hanson mentioned in his post. I have a Mormon friend who is making a very good salary, is 34, and is on his 6th kid. He and his family could live a very comfortable life with two kids, but he clearly prefers living a less materially wealthy life with 6 kids (so far). His fruitfulness has brought him back down to middle class.
He's like many Mormons I know: smart, hard-working, decent, and fruitful. If we extrapolate into the future, Mormons will outnumber the rest of us. Pretty soon, they'll make up the bulk of the human race, and thus, the human race will be multiplying like crazy, and we'll be back down to subsistence level wealth.
Even if this isn't realistic, there will be "Mormons" in the future, even if they're bits of code running on hardware. Some population somewhere will take the outbreed-everyone-else strategy. Who's to say they won't be successful?
We are grossly
We are grossly underpopulated right now, and we all benefit from each new Mormon born. In the distant future where we run out of resources, if property rights were strong then we may see parents carefully weighing each new birth, because of the resources that it would take away from its siblings, resources which would come out of the family's pool of resources, not humanity's, due to strong property.
I'm with you. Hanson, by the
I'm with you. Hanson, by the way, views this as a positive future, since he's (as far as I can tell) almost solely interested in maximizing the number of people, since he thinks even people in a Malthusian trap are "basically happy".
We are grossly
We are grossly underpopulated right now
I'm very curious, why do you think this?
John McCarthy convinced me
John McCarthy convinced me here.
But he says explicitly: I
But he says explicitly:
I offer no opinion about a "right" population, and I suspect that population will eventually be limited by a sense of crowdedness rather than by material considerations.
I don't disagree that the world "can" hold more people comfortably. My question is why you think that's necessarily desirable.
The main selfish reason to
The main selfish reason to want more people is to increase the size of the economy. The same thing happens when two countries open trade. Their two smaller economies become one larger economy. This increases wealth all around because it allows greater division of labor.
Your quoted reason to want fewer people is that it would be "too crowded". Really? Do you live in the middle of nowhere? If so, how did you send your comment? Clearly you choose to live in an area with far greater crowds than you absolutely must. The world can become far more crowded than it is now without you losing the ability to live in an area with the crowds you are used to. And meanwhile you will be richer thanks to the larger economy.
I had the same reaction
I found Robin's argument convincing and depressing as well. I agree with everything you say. I had an almost identical post in my mental drafts folder, actually.
The Malthusian argument plays population size off against resources. The assumption is that resources are limited, and that we're approaching some serious regions of scarcity. I think our best science indicates this is a false assumption: resources, material and energy, are a constant in the universe. Pair that with a constant increase in knowledge, and you have every reason to expect an on-going blossoming of the human situation -- as long as we use our smarts, which is not a foregone conclusion given the evidence of today's world.
I do not use this to argue for continual increase in population size. I like open spaces. I think such aesthetic senses will keep population size under reasonable control, if we broaden the educational base of the world's people.
Once more unto the breach...
Malthus, like Hobbes, screwed the philosophical pooch when he ignored paleolithic man and aboriginal societies. Also, advocating that population must be kept in check to avoid the (Malthusian) trap sounds a lot like eugenics.
Population drops as the govt assumes family functions
but it will not help because food can now be turned into auto fuel.

We aren't including lynx, we're including elinks instead for Taroon.
Reopening one last time ... feel free to close it ...
Could you then replace the build requirement from lynx to elinks?

Summer Learning – Don't Let Your Child Suffer From Learning Loss
Summer learning has been measured as a necessity for kids to manage the loss of learning during the summer break. There are many programs offered for kids that help them enhance their skills. Educational programs like RARE Learning have been offering filmmaking, reading, math, and science and digital photography programs for more than a decade. These courses are especially designed to boost creativity, teamwork and the freedom of expression in younger ages.
Research has proven that the summer break has a negative impact on children's learning skills. However, if proper attention is given to kids, the loss can be managed. Researchers like Harris Cooper have suggested that a way to overcome this is, either by shortening summer vacations or by adding short courses during the summer holidays. Such proposals are not appealing for everyone, as many families appreciate old-fashioned summer holidays.
Here are some tips that can help you deal with summer learning loss:-
Assessment of Learning Needs:
At first, it is necessary to understand your child's present skills and identify areas for improvement. Their teacher's feedback, previous test reports and personal analysis of your child can be helpful in making an analysis.
Listen to your child reading aloud. Check his level of interest in studies and observe which subject he tries to avoid most of the time. Take note of memorization abilities and encourage him to learn the meanings of new words. Studies have found that if kids are given individual attention, they can become better readers (Connor et al).
Challenge Your Kid:
It's always good to challenge children regularly. Provide them with books that are a bit more challenging for them to read. Studies have found that if kids are allowed to choose their own books they prefer to go with the easiest ones. This approach will not help them enhance their skills. Hence, it is better to provide kids with books of your own choice, making sure that they are a bit tougher than the previous books read by them. (Kim and Guryan)
Unstructured and Flexible Learning:
Researchers also believe that effective learning programs should have clear learning goals, flexible schedules, field trips and new and interesting skills for kids. Educational lessons should also be woven into these programs. This interesting practical experience if paired with the information taught in the curriculum will help kids retain what they have learnt. (SR Bell, N. Carrillo).
RARE Learning offers innovative courses for kids of different ages providing an opportunity for parents to manage their children's learned skills in an effective manner.
Filmmaking and digital photography classes during summer break are their most appreciated programs. These programs are designed to boost self-esteem and creativity and provide an opportunity for kids between the ages of 9 to 15 years to express their own individual perspective on different things.
Besides being taught the art of storytelling with short videos, kids are also trained to use technology to express themselves. RARE Learning will be offering the filmmaking summer workshop in Texas, starting from summer 2017, making it the 11th consecutive year of offering this program successfully.

This was cooked when I decided to make a variation for the breakfast for my boys. Visibly bored of the pancakes and cornflakes, french toasts idlis and dosas, I realised it was time for something "different". Yes, I know the "different" word is every mother's nightmare, but nevertheless, I decided to give it a try. Their aunt who was with us for a short stay decided to make this yummy breakfast that is much liked by Gujrati's. And as the name suggests, this is a Gujrati dish.
For the Garwanu
Wheat flour – 1 tbsp
Ghee – 1 tbsp
Milk – 1 big cup ( approx 300 ml)
Sugar – 1 tbsp
Roast the wheat flour, add ghee and saute for about a minute. Add milk and sugar and cook it till it acquires a semi – thick consistency. The Garwanu is ready.
For the Chillas
Wheat Flour – 3 tbsp
Gram Flour – 2 tbsp
Rice flour – 1 tbsp
(makes about 4 chillas)
Salt to taste
Turmeric – 1/4th tsp
Mix all the ingredients with water to form a smooth batter. Set aside for 10 minutes. Heat a non stick pan, grease it and pour batter and quickly spread it as a dosa. You can use pure ghee to coat each side of the chillas. Serve hot with Garwanu.
Variations : you can add chopped tomatoes, onions, green chillies and grated ginger in the batter for kids who can adjust to the taste of the veggies.

Yes I know, Christmas seems ages away! But in photography, we get booked up in advance as it's our busiest time of the year. It also takes us a while to get your photos edited and ready to collect - because of this, our cut off for orders to be ready before Christmas is 30th November. This means you'll need to have come in and had your photos taken, then come back and chosen what you'd like to order before this date.
Don't worry, we still have some spaces left at the moment! But it's best to get in contact with us and book up as soon as possible so you don't miss out!
If you're worried you won't have a chance to get all this organised in time, but would like to give the gift of professional photography to someone special, we've got the solution for you - a photography gift voucher. The voucher can be given on Christmas Day and the organisation of getting everyone together to have the photos taken can be sorted out in the new year (when we have more availability!) These vouchers can be from £20 upwards, and can be personalised with your own message.
If you'd like to get one of our vouchers or find out more, get in contact or head over to the voucher section of our website.

About James Lovell
James "Jim" Arthur Lovell, Jr., (born March 25, 1928) is a former NASA astronaut and a retired captain in the United States Navy, most famous as the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, which suffered a critical failure en route to the Moon but was brought back safely to Earth by the efforts of the crew and mission control. Lovell was also the command module pilot of Apollo 8, the first Apollo mission to enter lunar orbit.
Lovell is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He is one of only 24 people to have flown to the Moon, the first of only three people to fly to the Moon twice, and the only one to do so without making a landing. Lovell was also the first American to fly in space four times.
About Apollo 13
Apollo 13 was the third Apollo mission intended to land on the Moon. The craft was successfully launched toward the Moon, but the landing had to be aborted after an oxygen tank ruptured, severely damaging the spacecraft's electrical system. The flight was commanded by James A. Lovell; with John L. "Jack" Swigert, Command Module pilot; and Fred W. Haise, Lunar Module pilot. Swigert was a late replacement for the original CM pilot Ken Mattingly, who was grounded by the flight surgeon after exposure to German measles.
The mission was launched on April 11, 1970 at 13:13 CST. Two days later, en route to the Moon, a fault in electrical equipment inside one of the Service Module's oxygen tanks produced an explosion which caused the loss of both tanks' oxygen, depriving the Service Module of electrical power. This forced the crew to shut down the Command Module to conserve its batteries and oxygen needed for the last hours of flight, and use the Lunar Module's resources as a "lifeboat" during the return trip to Earth.
Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat, shortage of potable water, and the critical need to jury-rig the carbon dioxide removal system, the crew returned safely to Earth on April 17, and the mission was termed a "successful failure".

Who is the Fairest of Them All ?
What a dramatic series of press releases, apologies, backtracking and
general political backstabbing this last few days of October 7th to 9th.
Videotapes revealing that "boys will talk like boys" when they
think no one is listening. Trump then held it together through test of
personal fortitude and articulated the very statements about Clinton's
past during the debate, the very questions and accusations that should
have indicted both Bill and Hillary Clinton several times over. They all
have warts and are political elitists. Trump is trying to make like an
outsider however the American people may just become savvy enough to realize that all the current actors in the game are crooks as defined by
folks who break the law or are just folks who make the laws that benefit
themselves. The American people are screwed but at least now everyone, not just those of us who are actually aware of how they play the game, know that the whole deck is stacked by the wart covered elitists who call themselves "public servants." Who will emerge as the fairest of them all?

Being suddenly unable to leave my apartment due to an acute back condition is scary & painful. Premier Homecare helped by taking me to doctors, therapists, food, etc. Knowing I could count on them took a lot of my anxiety & stress away. Not only that, I could talk with the caregiver and the director who showed genuine caring. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Life wasn't supposed to be easy I guess. Remembering past kills me sometimes. I didn't choose that way but it all happened just the way it is. I know regretting is not a solution but can't avoid it anyways. As an ordinary human being, we all are born to do mistakes. I did mistakes too and biggest mistake of all is that I couldn't accept others mistakes and that rude attitude of mine made me loose the most important person in my life. I happened to be simply walked away without any second thought. Your simplicity cannot be replaced by anyone, you are just special. I have expected everything so perfect from you without realizing that I was so selfish in doing so. Mistakes are common, I should have realize this before. It's simply a little mistakes we have done that now we are apart. It hurts and I know we both did. I wish we can come back and be normal as we used to be. I can imagine the beautiful life we have plan for long. But things aren't possible. While trying to become the best, I turns out to be the worst. So ill fated. Life seems not so easy for me.
missed our anniversaries and I missed our conversations. We have been waiting
for our future so anxiously and had to end without living it. Life is such a twist,
we can't change or reform things as you wish. It's been few years pass and I
tried living a normal life but it wasn't so easy. I can't be serious and just
don't like so many things that I used to. That's why people started hating me.
Today, I am trying to be good and because I am afraid of becoming the worst
again, I keep most things for myself.

Everything happens for a reason and most things in our life are not in our hand. God decides everything.
That's one episode of my life in brief.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry's Wedding: Everything We Know So Far
Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement, Royal watchers and fans have been overwhelmed with news and announcements about their upcoming nuptials. With all eyes on the beloved pair and their non-traditional relationship, the anticipation for their wedding is at an all-time high, so here is everything to know about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming wedding:
13. Where/When
On November 27, 2017, the Royal family announced Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's engagement and simply said the wedding would occur in the Spring of 2018. A couple of weeks later, on December 15, Kensington Palace announced the wedding would take place on Saturday, May 19, 2018. It was also confirmed the pair would wed at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle with the ceremony beginning at 12 p.m. London time (7 a.m. EST; 4 a.m. PST). The Dean of Windsor will conduct the service and the Archbishop of Canterbury will officiate as the couple takes their vows.
12. The Guest List
There are a lot of people that would love to make the guest list for Markle and Prince Harry's wedding, but only a select few will actually make it. When it comes to the guest list a number close to 600 people have been invited to the service and luncheon while only 200 guests will attend a private reception given by Prince Charles at Frogmore House. Due to Prince Harry being sixth in line for the throne, the couple are not required to invite diplomats from around the world and in April it was revealed the two would not be inviting any political leaders at all. While there has been nothing confirmed, it is rumored that many stars, thanks to Meghan's Hollywood career, have also been sent invites. In addition, 2,640 people have been invited to watch the bride and groom and their wedding parties arrival on the castle grounds.

Welcome to the Moab 240 2017 Images!
The most purchased option is the "bundle" for $130 ($90 for triple crown). While we understand $130 is a lot of money ... this often breaks down to <$10 per high resolution image. These photos have a forever shelf life. In 20 years, someone in your family will find them and recount the inspiration of your grit. When's the last time your running shoes still functioned well after 20 years? ... or even 20 months. Invest in those future moments and invest in those that had a hand in creating them with you. We know it is not cheap, but we do think it is worth at least as much as a new pair of shoes. Thank you so much (Scott & Howie)
FAQ - All Runners
How do I purchase? - The best way is to scroll through each location and in the upper left of the thumbnail photo is a heart ... add the photo to your favorites. Then, in the upper left of your screen, view all of your favorites. In the top right will be an option to "Buy All". Select this and choose which package option you'd prefer.
What can't I order all the images of the other runner too? - While the system provides the freedom for you to choose any photo, we still restrict your order to photos of yourself/pacer. We have had people select all images of themselves and all of other runners ... I will not fill that order. If you want images of other runners you ran with, please reach out to that runner.
Why is my order awaiting approval? - I personally review each order for multiple reasons. One is that runners don't always catch all of the images they're featured in...so I'll go through and add those to your order. I shoot to fill orders within 48 hours, but sometimes (Oct 27-29) I don't have service. These are a priority, so I work them as soon as I can.
Scenic Images - These images come at full resolution and are slightly higher priced than the individual race photo. They are a STEAL. The same image we sell to you for $40, I sold for $300. ...and ask Harold, they look great framed in an office. Unfortunately, the system does not let me force the $40 price AND allow bundle packages. So...it's on your own honor. If you'd like one of the scenic images, at checkout select the "Digital Scenic" product. NOTE: there are packages setup that include and lower the price of the scenic images.
I can't find myself - I know...there's a few thousand images out there and despite our efforts to make it easier, it can still be difficult. If you are going to purchase the bundle, please email me and let me know you're having trouble. I look through these images enough, I'll be able to find all of you and share that set back to you. email@example.com
FAQ - Triple Crown Runners
If you've purchased 0 images to date: Then purchase package "Triple Crown All" for all of your bundle images ($270). You don't even have to find them all to place the order. I'll take care of that task.
If you've purchased just Bigfoot Bundle: Then purchase package "Triple Crown Tahoe/Moab". ($180)
If you've purchased Bigfoot and Tahoe bundle: Then purchase the normal race bundle and use code "Triple" to apply the discount for the Moab images.
...any questions, don't hesitate: firstname.lastname@example.com or 309 278 3951
Thank you
Scott & Howie

An infected (abscessed) tooth may be more sensitive to hot and cold. Pain and increased sensitivity when eating are also common with an infected tooth. If you are experiencing either of these issues, it is best to call Barrie/Toronto endodontist, Dr. Adam Chapnick at (877) 606-6462 right away to schedule a thorough examination.
Not Always Painful
Tooth infections are not always painful. Additional symptoms that should be brought to the attention of Dr. Chapnick include:
An abscess may also result in fever, nausea, or a general sense of discomfort. Particularly when paired with other symptoms of tooth infection, these issues should prompt a call to Dr. Chapnick for an endodontic evaluation.
Treating an Abscessed Tooth
Tooth infections are treated with root canal therapy. This procedure allows our Dr. Chapnick to remove infection and debris from the inside of the tooth and helps prevent the need for extraction. Depending on your specific needs, your root canal may be completed during a single office visit; but deep infection often requires at least two. Dr. Chapnick will discuss what you can expect during your initial endodontic evaluation.
Endodontic treatment is no more invasive than a typical dental filling. However, if you are uncomfortable with the idea of a root canal, we can discuss options such as mild sedation to help you feel relaxed and at ease throughout your entire visit.
If you suspect you have an infected tooth, please contact our experienced Barrie/Toronto dentist to schedule your consultation today. Dr. Chapnick welcomes patients living throughout Central Ontario

The F#.NET Journal just published an article about meta programming:
"Reflection has many practical applications but is significantly harder using the built-in API that it can be if consideration is restricted to F# types as they are used in messages. This article describes a simple library that allows non-recursive F# types and values of them to be converted to and from an abstract representation in the form of a union type. This makes it much easier to write fast serialization libraries for a variety of different serialized formats..."

HONG KONG — The Asia Adult Expo debuted last weekend at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center (HKCEC), resolving an ongoing head-butting between the fair's organizers and dubious city officials.
According to the South China Morning Post, the HKCEC initially denied the adult fair its exhibition grounds, claiming that the venue was fully booked for the foreseeable future. But organizer Vertical Expo Services believed that the rejection was due to discrimination of the Asia Adult Expo's erotic theme.
"HKCEC was initially worried about the fair's racy image, but we've proved an adult trade fair can be just as professional as any other trade show, " Vertical CEO Kenny Lo Yuk-wa told the Morning Post.
Prior to its premiere Hong Kong showing, the expo was held in Macau. Lo explained that Macau was a less fitting location for the fair because of its leisurely atmosphere.
He explained, "… everyone knows Hong Kong is the place to get serious business done."
The three-day B2B expo hosted around 150 exhibitors, who touted their adult paraphernalia, including sex toys and hi-tech gadgets.
Adult Asia Expo was held in tandem with the Intimate Lingerie Asia fair and was not open to the public or visitors under 18 years of age.
The fair featured both local exhibitors and western-based companies like Pipedream, which displayed a large pink, white and black BDSM-themed poster.
While many of the companies, China-based included, said they focused their wares mostly on western markets, there seemed to be an upswelling interest in Asian consumers.
Rosstar spokewoman Minnie Zhang explained that younger Asian generations are less conservative then eras past. Rosstar is located in Shanghai and was promoting its product "Mini Vibra," an iPhone-controlled personal massager/music player, at the show.

Watch: Kim Go Eun and Park Bo Gum Couple Up in Behind-the-Scenes CF Clip

Capps, Blakeslee unite
In this era of mean-spirited partisanship, it's heartening to see Lois Capps and Sam Blakeslee working together to advocate for those they represent—all living under the shadow of Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.
On the hill, Rep. Capps got a little feisty recently, as you can observe in the recording of the May 4 hearing, available on her website. Why, she asked Chairman Jaczko, has the NRC not yet responded to repeated requests to halt Diablo's relicensing application until the completion of advanced seismic studies?
The Fukushima Dai-ichi accident hovered like a specter in that hall, as Capps reminded Jaczko that Diablo Canyon sits within five kilometers of four active earthquake faults.
Quoting from a USGS report, Capps also informed the committee that, "Given our current state of knowledge, we cannot rule out the possibility of a rupture on the Shoreline Fault triggering a rupture on the Hosgri Fault, or visa versa"— a possibility that begs further study.
Thank you, Lois Capps, for asking why the NRC is stonewalling a stay on Diablo's relicensing process. And to both Capps and Blakeslee, thank you for understanding that the safety of your constituents is a nonpartisan issue.

Thanks from Del Mar
On April 10, Del Mar PTA and its 194 members held our 5th Annual Art Auction and BBQ at Del Mar Elementary School in Morro Bay. The event was a dynamic success, raising funds that will be used to support our school by providing all field trips, assemblies, art supplies and enrichment programs for our students and families.
This would not have been possible without the generous donation of time and energy by so many in our community. A sincere heartfelt thanks goes out to all those who donated auction items, such as gift certificates for local restaurants and services, hand-crafted items and beautiful works of art. Thank you to our parents, school staff and community volunteers and those who donated and purchased items as well as the incredible people who gave countless hours of their time.
Janet Gould principal, Del Mar Elementary School
Kinda screwy
OK, let me get this straight: PG&E is going to be allowed to raise rates (May 6) to cover the cost of replacing meters that were not worn out with SmartMeters that it appears that no one wants, in order to reduce the cost of reading meters?
David Carter
Arroyo Grande
PG&E is different
On May 6, The Tribune reported that PG&E was given approval to raise its rates to charge its customers "slightly" more to make up for profits lost when SmartMeters were installed. In an earlier edition, The Tribune reported that installation of SmartMeters was a cost-savings program for PG&E.
This seems to be a bit of double dipping by PG&E. Most private companies use their efficiency gains to offset the capital investment made to achieve it, but PG&E is obviously not one of most companies.

Eat Ski Telluride for the whole family
While the weather is gloriously warm in Dallas, up in Telluride, Co. snow conditions are at it's peak. "We are having our best ski season now," says Stephen Roth, executive chef of culinary services at Telluride Ski & Golf Resort. And the resort has cleverly peppered a range of on-mountain dining options for hungry skiers seeking a warming bowl of soup or a hot chocolate break at snack time without having to ski off to a central touristy food area.
First get your hands on a trail map which also marks all the different restaurants on the mountain and work from there depending on your skiing abilities. There's Bon Vivant, an outdoor bar and restaurant under a 40 foot heated umbrella serving French country cuisine and crepes at 10,000 feet; Giuseppe's for po boys and creole food; Allred's for modern Colorado cuisine housed in a warm airy lodge; Crazy Elk Pizza which sells a pitcher of Belgian beer and any large pizza for just $25 (a tip from Stephen Roth) or Tomboy Tavern a lovely gastro pub serving 32 different local craft beers.
I was there to write this travel article for the Dallas Morning News and loved the experience of the two towns – quirky Telluride and it's glitzier and newer sister, Mountain Village. We stayed in the heart of Mountain Village at Hotel Madeline which was perhaps the best of both worlds for us with kids. They have condo style luxury accomodations with all the ease of hotel amenities like room service, concierge, a fine dining restaurant called M's (Pikelet & Lollo loved M's) and a casual bar restaurant.
Mountain Village is the epicenter of the Telluride Golf and Ski Resort where tourists take their ski and snowboarding lessons or try the latest craze, snow biking. There was hardly any wait time at the 18 different chair lifts that takes you to the Goldhill Ridge for extreme back country skiing or Prospect bowl for a slower pace beginner.
A free gondola service connects Mountain Village to the small historic town of Telluride. We loved the 'lived in' feel of Telluride which aims to keep a quaint, laid back way of life like Austin only it's set in a box canyon of picturesque mountain ranges.
The Main street drag is filled with a myriad of restaurants for the discerning, shops (mostly local, non chain stores), galleries, a small school, public library, grocery store, local radio station and medical facility. The lack of souvenir shops pleasantly surprised us.
And for the kids, there's Ski & Snowboard school and Eco Adventures which takes them on hikes to see beaver dams and keeps them occupied with science experiments like making ice cream by packing ice and salt into an ice cream making ball and kicking it in the snow for fifteen minutes. They even offer babysitting which is highly recommended if you have a reservation Alpino Vino the most elevated dining experience in North America. A snow cab takes only 26 diners to an intimate 5 course prix fixe dinner with wine pairings.
For more information on Telluride Ski & Golf Resort and all that good stuff, click here.
Till our next Happy Meal (on or off a mountain top)!
Epilogue – Unexpectedly I suffered from altitude sickness when I arrived and I wanted to put in a good word for the staff at Hotel Madeline who were not only knowledgeable about my condition but acted quickly to get me medical help. You guys were amazing! THANK YOU! Check the Institute for Altitude Medicine (located in Telluride) for information or consult a medical professional prior to your trip as there is prescription medication you can take which will help alleviate altitude sickness.

Nice piece! I'd just add that visitors should aim to stay in historic Telluride — that's where the action in terms of great independent restaurants and shops. The Mountain Village is way nicer than most "base areas," but what makes Telluride so special is that it doesn't need a base area as the ski mountain descends right into this great, authentic Old West town. I recommend the Ice House and Camel's Garden.

text: OK, just found a PR 6 expired domain at one of the registrar's auction, I am getting it for around $200, auction is still going on. I just want to know what may happen if I buy this domain? 1. Will the PR stay? 2. Does it drop if I start my own website on it (Since the content is changing drastically) I just did a little research about the domain, didn't found it to be associated to malicious or porn related thing. I know that this auction may go very high as it is PR6, but I want to know some things about dropped domains so that I can decide my limits. This is the first time I am buying a domain which is expired. Always bought fresh domains. Also please advice me how can I use this domain to make most of the profit. I may not have covered any area of advice, so you can pour in your advises about this, thanks in advance.

data got loaded to billing cube in bw .there was no error and load was successful.
but after few days i noticed some difference in value coming on bw and source system sap.
on analysis i observed that on one particular date and between particular time just a few bills that were created have not got uploaded and that is why difference is coming.
Surprisingly data load shows successful on bw for that day.
How is this possible...? what may be the cause...? where should i check...? how to get the missing data...?
Any help...
