Review: A French Taste Adventure at The French Connection
A year ago restaurant The French Connection (TFC) reopened at the Singel, heart of Amsterdam. In 2015 the restaurant was opened but then with a more 'French tapas' feature. That worked less well than thought, and thus a new culinary French vision was worked out: 10 varied à la carte dishes (inspired) inspired by the French regions. We went to taste.
Praise for the host
TFC is located in the basement of the Odeon building (known for many). As soon as you step in, leave the busy city behind you and end up in a beautiful, historic setting where a pleasant ambiance hangs. The same warmth we feel when we are caught by the night's ministry. And especially our host. Nothing but praise for this young man, who makes you feel welcome as a guest, knows a lot about everything we eat and drink and know this in a contagious passionate way. A good entry soon!
Culinary under the pans
We are served a 5 course dinner from the kitchen of the young chef Jef van den Hout. We choose both a vegetarian variant and a meat / fish variant. The dishes are always served very well in terms of timing. You really are a whole evening culinary under the pans, without having to eat you all the way. All dishes are pretty proportionate, making it never too much.
Heavenly gnocchi
Dishes that look really delicious, both in terms of taste and taste, are tomato, strawberry and mustard ice cream, egg salad with eel and a crispy sauce bread, gnocchi and bisque. I have not tasted such a soft, perfectly cooked gnocchi, delicious. Only thing to notice was the size of the piece of duck breast that my table partner had. That could have been something bigger.
In addition, a different wine is poured out at each dish. In addition, we are positively surprised by the types of wine and the combinations that are made. So we drink a surprisingly tasty Grüner Veltliner from Austria (Sohm & Kracher), not so French, but a nice trip. For dessert, we finally get a glass of Willem's Vermoedserved (the roots are also in Amsterdam's Hortus Botanicus), a perfect finish for a very successful culinary evening.
Amsterdam is full of restaurants. Especially in the center it is difficult to choose. But if you want to escape the hustle and bustle, are you prepared to spend something more than average (a 5-course dinner costs 49 Euro) and would you like an evening-filled tasteful dinner? Then this place is definitely the place to be.

If you didn't know already, your website's loading speed plays a crucial role in the user's experience and ultimately, the business' growth. In a recent report by Akamai, 47 percent of the online population expects their webpage to load in no longer two seconds. Perhaps more importantly, 40 percent will close a website if it takes longer than that. Whether increased mobile usage or decreased attention span is the culprit remains to be seen, but if you want to keep customers, you need a fast website.
With an expected average loading time of 7.72 seconds for most websites, many online businesses often lose out on the opportunities to convert visitors to actual paying customers simply because of the slow loading times. On the other hand, companies that invested in optimizing their website speed are cashing in on consumer preferences for faster websites.
So, how do you optimize your website's speed to improve on your traffic conversion? Let's review some of the factors that affect your website loading speed and see how you could best optimize them accordingly.
How to Improve Your Site's Loading Speed
How do you know if your web host isn't performing well? By monitoring the server's, you may identify whether the site's loading speed is caused by the website. Using free tools such as Bitchacha helps you monitors the response time of the web server itself so you'll know if your host is not performing at its optimal capacity. If these problem arise, what are you going to do?
Fortunately, there are several ways to speed up your site without changing your web host even if your web host isn't performing that well. Let's explore the simple ways you can improve your site's loading speed below:
1. Reduce the HTTP Requests
Each action available on a website requires an HTTP request. When your web host lacks the efficiency in handling HTTP requests, just lessen the number of HTTP requests. It's that simple!
This can be done using multiple style sheets in one file or by using CSS instead of images to design your website. You may also consider reducing the number of scripts for your webpage so that your server does not need to handle too many requests than it could usually handle.
2. Remove Unnecessary Plugins and Add-Ons
For many hosts, plugins are quite difficult to handle. If a certain plugin is low quality, it's going to slow down your whole website.
Do a complete evaluation of the plugins you have and see which ones can be taken out. For those using WordPress, you may want to download P3, a tool that helps you evaluate each of your plugins.
3. Enable Browser Caching
Another way to optimize your website's loading time is to enable browser caching. By doing so, you will allow your visitors' browsers to store cached resources.
This way, your viewers will already store some of your site's information in cached form so that most elements will not have to load up again on their next visit in your site. You can do this by using the specific codes on your website.
4. Monitor Your Website Speed
Testing is the best way to guarantee your website is always running well. By monitoring the speed, you will know how to optimize your website properly and adjust them in real-time.
Some of the most recommended website speed monitoring tools are Bitcatcha, Pingdom and Google's PageSpeed Insights. These tools can help detect your website's speed and usually provide recommendations on how to further boost it.

Tabs Pro
Tabs Pro is a module that encapsulates existing page modules inside tabs. It doesn't matter what type of module - it can be HTML, FAQs, photo galleries, document modules etc.
Settings interface:
Widget Provider
The most important feature is the Widget provider - when adding a new Tabs Pro module, Bootstrap will be set by default and, as told above, we've kept the jQuery UI option, so if you want to get back to jQuery UI, you have this possibility by changing the provider from Bootstrap - in this way, when you get back on front end, you'll have the old jQuery UI display.
Why Tabs Pro?
Tabs Pro helps you organize any kind of module inside tabs. A couple of cool features:
- By simply dragging the tabs or event, you can define the order in which the contained modules will be displayed on the front end.
- If multiple modules are displayed in the same tab, an option to display the modules in accordion control is available, optimizing the space on the page:
Key Features
- Tabbed Layout
- Tabs Position
- Multiple modules on a Tab
- Stack modules in Accordion
- Tabs with custom URL
- Easy Administration, Manage Tabs through Tabs
- Themes
- And much more.

Non-profit ACE Foundation Sues Commonwealth Bank of Australia in U.S. Courts Seeking Return of $2.5 Million to Continue Its Charitable Projects
Tax-exempt organization applies technology to address challenges facing economically distressed populations and developing nations
May 26, 2015, 04:55 ET
LOS ANGELES, May 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The ACE Foundation, a U.S.-based public charity incorporated in Delaware with offices in Santa Monica, Calif., that applies cutting-edge technology and consulting to humanitarian causes, has filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court against Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) seeking the return of $2.53 million in ACE Foundation funds being held in Australia.
The suit by ACE Foundation, an IRS-certified, tax-exempt non-profit organization, contends that its funds are being held wrongfully in Australia. The court action requests a jury trial in the U.S. to force the return of the funds, plus damages, so that the money can be used to continue the foundation's mission and complete initiatives in progress since the organization was founded in May 2014.
The foundation's suit rebuts allegations that ACE's engagement with two CBA IT employees was meant to be hidden from CBA, or was part of a secret plot in years past to win corrupt contracts for a bank vendor. The ACE Foundation has been under the direction of its founder/CEO, Andrew Goldstein, since he founded the organization in May 2014. ACE is a 501(c)(3) that has been awarded IRS tax-exempt status for its charitable mission, and operates in full compliance with rigorous reporting and governance rules. As illustrated in the lawsuit, ACE has an independent board of directors and employs internal staff and a wide range of contractors in the U.S. and abroad in service of an ambitious slate of goals and projects.
The ACE Foundation received its initial donation from Eric Pulier, a prominent entrepreneur and frequent contributor to philanthropic causes and non-profit organizations for decades. The ACE Foundation suit provides clarity that because of his responsibilities as an executive overseeing customers and operations across more than a dozen countries, as well as numerous pre-existing obligations to ventures and non-profit organizations and boards, Pulier was not expected to have, nor did he have, any involvement in running The ACE Foundation. ACE's lawsuit points to evidence-- in documents, activities, interviews, official filings and timelines-- that make it clear that Pulier's donation into ACE was intended solely to further its charitable mission. Further, the lawsuit refutes the intimation that ACE's mission, goals or projects are in any way related to CBA, Pulier, or entities associated.
ACE's suit contends that the foundation's funds were never hidden and ACE acted properly at all times. According to the lawsuit, ACE deployed its project budgets and consulting fees with openness and transparency in a manner that guaranteed the bank's review and scrutiny, depositing the funds into CBA's own accounts, in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations. The suit points to evidence that ACE's project budgets were not only put into CBA itself, but also placed in the true names of the employees intended to run the projects, with their consulting organizations called out on supporting documentation as intended agents for the deliverables.
The suit goes on to detail how all actions from ACE were deliberate and purposeful, and how ACE's actions are consistent with its understanding that the bank was fully aware and in approval of the engagement. ACE's suit explains that a small portion of the funds, $100,000, were targeted for the consultants and the remainder was set forth appropriately in accordance with professional accounting advice for budgeted project expenses. The suit also contends that the intent of the consulting and the projects are evidenced in numerous forms, including statements-of-work and invoices that reference purpose, goals and supporting documentation.
According to The ACE Foundation suit:
"ACE's mission is to apply next-generation technology to the most pressing challenges facing economically distressed populations and developing nations. For example, ACE's 'Project LiQuid' seeks to develop a system to improve the distribution of drinking water in impoverished communities. To fulfill its mission, ACE engages consultants with technology experience to build its reusable technology and systems and to assist ACE in developing projects and initiatives. Two of the earliest consultants ACE engaged were Jon Waldron and Keith Hunter, IT employees of CBA. ACE understood that CBA had permitted its two employees to help ACE.
"From May through December 2014, ACE advanced funds to Waldron and Hunter to cover project costs they would incur for ACE. ACE advanced the funds based on professional tax advice it received. ACE was advised that donations it received in 2014 were potentially taxable because ACE would not have its tax exempt status by the end of the year, so it would be prudent for ACE to expend funds in 2014 for known projects to minimize charitable dollars being lost to taxes. Far from being secret payments, ACE advanced funds to Waldron and Hunter to their respective bank accounts at CBA.
"In late December 2014, ACE learned that CBA was taking a position that it did not approve of Waldron and Hunter assisting ACE. Upon learning this, ACE informed Waldron and Hunter that they no longer could assist ACE and requested that they return the funds advanced by ACE. ACE redirected the work to be done by Waldron and Hunter to other consultants. Waldron and Hunter agreed to return the advances to ACE. CBA knew this, but prevented Waldron and Hunter from returning ACE's money. CBA threatened to sue Waldron and Hunter if they returned ACE's money. When Hunter informed CBA that he was returning ACE's money to ACE, CBA made false allegations to the Australian police that the payments were illegal secret payments, even though the payments were made into accounts at CBA. The Australian police froze the accounts of Waldron and Hunter, preventing them from returning ACE's money. As a result of CBA's interference with ACE's relationship with Waldron and Hunter, ACE has been deprived of over $2.5 million, critical funds needed by ACE to fund its projects. ACE brings this action to recover its money that it lost due to CBA's intentional and wrongful interference with ACE's contractual relationship with its consultants."
As plaintiff in the lawsuit, the ACE Foundation "seeks a money judgment for general, special, consequential, punitive, exemplary and other damages in an amount to be proven at trial" versus CBA. The action also seeks payment of attorneys' fees, court costs and interest on its funds being held by CBA.

The doctrine of Tinitarian Monotheism appeared in the Athanasian Creed, formulated in the fourth century, which stated, "We worship on God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the Substance." The church fathers used three important words to stress their belief in monotheism and Trinity: one, unity, and substance. They were careful to point out that God could not be divided into three parts ("dividing the substance") and declared their belief in three persons who had an intrapersonal oneness within the one divine Being.
A popular liberal view is to liken the Trinity to H2O, which can be water, ice, or steam. The fallacy with this view is that God takes on three forms or modes.
The liberal theologians and philosophers from the eighteenth century through the first half of the twentieth century denied the supernatural as well as the inspiration of Scripture. The Trinity of the Godhead fell by the wayside. In the midst of these denials, the Swiss theologian Karl Barth published his commentary, Epistle to the Romans, in 1918. It fell as a thunderclap on a theological drought, meeting the liberals on their own ground. Though considered unorthodox in several of his views, Barth saved Christian theology. He solved the human predicament by attributing to God the power of immediate divine revelation to man and direct intervention in supernatural ways into human problems. He recovered some of the precious truth that was lost and pointed the way to a restudy of the whole theology of today among those still unprepared to accept inerrancy of Scripture.
The key to Barth's study was a reexamination of the views of the early fathers on the Trinitarian problems. He laid down new doctrine on the work of the Holy Spirit and this led to examination of the definition of His Person. His concept of the Trinity is a threefold mode of divine existence or being, less than that of distinct persons but more than of mere modes of manifestation. Barth believed in the absolute deity of the Spirit. He declared, "The Holy Ghost is God the Lord in the fullness of Deity, in the total sovereignty and condescension, in the complete hiddenness and revealedness of God" (Karl Barth, The Holy Ghost and the Christian Life, 1:374).
American and British Neo-orthodoxy perpetuates the old distrust of the miraculous as far as Scriptural miracles are concerned, the work of God in extending grace to man, and in revealing Himself in a supernatural way. Two positions are held in Neo-orthodoxy; it denies the deity of the Holy Spirit or it denies that He is a Person. The key to the Neo-orthodox movement is that they cannot see how an infinite God can communicate with finite man. Therefore, they reject the concept that the Spirit of God speaks with authority either through the church, as held by the Roman Catholic Church, or in the Scriptures, as held by the Reformers (John F. Walvoord, The Holy Spirit, 260-265).

By Brian Hampson, Vice President of Global Manufacturing Sciences and Technology, PCT
Patient-specific cell therapies (PSCTs—those in which cells extracted from the patient or a donor matched to the patient are processed and then returned as therapy to the patient) are still, in many ways, the new kid on the block in medicine; researchers, therapeutic developers, manufacturers, FDA, and payers are still exploring and developing an understanding of the powerful benefits and unique challenges of this growing industry. As we all become more familiar, an evolution will need to occur—as it had to for automobiles, computers, and every technological advance in human history—in order for these therapies to become widely adopted, cost-efficient, market-scalable, and sustainable over the long-term. We must seek to understand what is needed from a manufacturing perspective for us to achieve the future of patient-specific cell therapy.
In light of these challenges, it is crucial for cell therapy developers to invest in a robust manufacturing process that leads to products of high quality, at a reasonable cost of goods (COGs), that is scalable and sustainable throughout the commercial life of the product. This strategy—planning for and implementing a manufacturing process that from the beginning takes into account quality, COGs, salability, and sustainability—is something we refer to as Development by Design (DbD). DbD calls for planning for these four elements well ahead of the realization of each.
To achieve optimal DbD-based manufacturing, the industry needs not only manufacturing processes that are vastly different from the traditional methods of manufacturing biologics, but also from the current standard of cell therapy manufacturing. In order for the cell therapy industry as a whole to become commercially viable in the long-term, we must envision and develop the "factory of the future," likely to have at least some of the following attributes:
- Manufacturing processes in controlled, non-classified (CNC) spaces
- Concurrent adjacent processing of patient lots
- A highly mitigated risk of human error
- An electronic execution system with release by exception
- A highly mitigated cost impact of idle capacity
- A minimal set of unit operations to execute the process
- A very low failure-to-deliver-therapy rate
- A robust, secure, supply chain
What we need is an industry-wide effort of innovation and engineering, an effort that is just beginning to take root at commercialization-focused cell therapy developers, as well as at some of the tools and technology providers and contract manufacturing partners that support developers. This will enable thoughtful and staged rebuilding of unit operations for cell therapy manufacturing from the ground up, to transform cell therapy manufacturing processes and test methods in a way that achieves true scalability and sustainability. Cell therapy manufacturing must move largely away from the clean room model and sent to the "back of the facility," into production spaces more suited to high-volume production. That is not to say that clean rooms have no place in cell therapy; they certainly do. However, any time that automation, integration, and closed processing systems can result in steps whereby one entire processing room can be leveraged over a greater number of processes at any one time and with simpler facility infrastructure, your bottom line will be in better shape for the effort. Only by achieving this can we move together toward a world in which transformative cell-based therapeutics are accessible to all.
Brian Hampson is Vice President, Global Manufacturing Sciences and Technology, tasked with leading PCT's newly created Innovation and Engineering department (I&E). I&E was created to help PCT's Clients think beyond current practices and to develop long-term solutions to the unique challenges faced by the manufacturers of cell therapy products. PCT's E&I solutions accelerate the use of automation, integration, closed processing and other strategies to address the important issues of scale up, cost of goods, quality control and robustness of our Client's manufacturing processes in anticipation of commercial success.

Yep! I would recommend Bark Busters. I found the techniques to be realistic - things we could do to fit our busy lifestyle.
Jeff S., Minneapolis 2nd July 2008
Angel responded so much better to these techniques. I would recommend Bark Busters, even our boys were able to learn and help.
Lisa L., Minneapolis 2nd July 2008
Sandy seemed to adjust right away to the simple techniques. Bark Busters is good at training both the dog and the owner.
Graig and May R., minneapolis 2nd July 2008
You bet I would recommend Bark Busters! This is something that was very easy to follow, use, and utilize over and over again.
Lindey G., Minneapolis 2nd July 2008
Lynne wasn't swayed by Bianchi's breed (pit bull), she was positive and helped move us away from food reinforcement to a more natural voice tone. After four trainers Lynne was the only one who had my dog walking by my side and after one session. Bark Busters helped me with on leash walking and meeting other dogs and getting my Staffy/pit bull on her way to a canine good citizen certification.
Lori H, Minneapolis 2nd July 2008
I was pleased with the natural training. We noticed Darla was more attentive to us. Lynne was great about answering any questions we had.
Judi P. and Casey R, Minneapolis 2nd July 2008
We are very excited about the natural training techniques and feel that it is the appropriate training for us and our dog.
Jill M., Minneapolis 2nd July 2008
We've learned so much about what a dog needs to be trained and happy.
Brian and Tonia B., Minneapolis 2nd July 2008
The training techniques were easy to follow and understand. Lynne is great with children! The training experience was enjoyable and so much better in my home. I would recommend Bark Busters to others. I have given the phone number to my vet!
Susan A., St. Paul 17th December 2007
I was amazed by the results I observed by the end of the training. I really appreciated the fact that I am able to train the girls without treats and especially without cruel measures. I enjoyed the training, although I felt awkward at first...but SO satisfied with the results! I would recommend Bark Busters to others because I feel that it's better to deal with problems where they occur, rather than in a classroom setting. Thanks!
Kathy A., Spring Lake Park 26th November 2007
We loved Bark Busters! It has made an incredible difference in our dog. He's well behaved and seems to really understand the natural techniques-Thanks a lot!
E.S., Minneapolis 24th November 2007
The training techniques were very easy to learn and follow and we noticed immediate response. We would recommend Bark Busters to our friends and neighbors and found our trainer very friendly and comfortable to work with.
Kathy, Oak Grove 20th November 2007
Cathy was ready to take our 6-year-old springer spaniel to the shelter as he had become more and more aggressive to our 12-year-old dog; when she tried to discipline him he started growling at her. Our vet recommended Bark Busters, and Jennifer agreed it would be money well spent if it could restore peace to the household and she knew people in California who had had great success with Bark Busters. John came over the first time for almost 4 hours. Jennifer even flew in for the weekend from her current job site in California so she too wouldn't miss the first training session. John taught us how to start thinking like a dog and we began to learn how we needed to change so our Springer would realize we were the pack leaders and he did not have to be any longer. Our Springer immediately knew John was in charge the minute he started working with him. John has been very patient teaching us humans what we need to do and we have met with him now 3 more times since our initial visit to fine tune our dogs training. People visiting have noticed a huge improvement with our younger dog and both dogs are much more relaxed and understand there are rules and Mom is the top dog now. We take comfort in knowing we can call John at any time and he will come back as often as we feel we need him to. As John said, the dog knows what to do, he is just testing to see if his parents remember.

Lynne talked to my children in a way that they could understand. I found the training experience to be very interesting! I would recommend Bark Busters to my friends and neighbors.
L.C., St. Paul 2nd July 2007
The training techniques were very easy to understand and execute.
Angela K., Maplewood 5th June 2007
John was very generous to work with my husband and I with our rescue and foster dogs, going way above and beyond (he even went to the home of Cooper's new family to aid in a smooth transition!) Our home is a much happier place after John trained us to properly train our dogs. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone.
Lori Marthe, Minneapolis 4th June 2007
The training conducted by Briana has already made such a difference in Hamilton's behavior and I would gladly recommend you.
Molly M., Minneapolis 1st June 2007
Sadie was very responsive to the techniques. Lynne was patient and calm, helped me to understand how important body language is in training. She is very kind and easy to talk to and very encouraging. Sadie and I may have a peaceful happy life together after all!

Revenue sought from unused land
October 17, 2016
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
In a dusty room at the top of a hill, eight men and women met to decide the fate and future of Ohlone College.
The main topic of Wednesday's board meeting: development of the unused property that extends from Witherly Lane to Pine Street, known as the frontage property. The college seeks to lease out the property as a means of generating a source of revenue independent from state apportionments, on which the college currently entirely relies.
Students and community members were allowed to offer suggestions for the development, bringing ideas such as on-campus housing for financial aid and transfer students. Some concerns from the community included an increase in traffic congestion on Mission Boulevard. In response, Sean Absher, an attorney with Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth, P.C. told the board that any environmental impacts, including traffic congration, would be mitigated by whichever developer Ohlone chooses to award the contract.
Absher told the board, "Legally, this is the maximum process by which [the college] can generate revenue for that site".

You know how some books are #UnPutDownable (unable to put down – you keep reading becasue it is so good!) ?
You simply cannot stop reading it! Heart racing, pulse quickening…you almost rip the page as you turn it….!
Every page you turn simply brings a new twist and before you know it, its three in the morning and…you've just read the last line….
Why didn't I know about John Verdon all this time? Why have you been hiding all this information from me!
I read two of his books..on holiday….in 10 days……
( yes I did get to do a lot on my holiday and not just read!)
Think of a number…I totally did not know what was going to happen in this book, every step of the way..
This was the first one I read..lets say it was downhill from there..in the sense that it was so good I couldn't stop!
Now.THIS BOOK.
Has me questioning all kinds of things. A lot of things I ever believed to be true….may indeed not be. Its teaching me how to question everything..
'No matter how much you have invested, only your assessment of the future costs and benefits count'
Stuck in a job or with an investment (a course you are studying, a relationship you are staying in because..well you invested 5 years….) forget about what you have invested in, what will cost to have the future you want?

Mushrooms Florentine
From Dorothy McNett's recipes at www.dorothymcnett.com.
12 fresh mushrooms (white or brown caps)
Using a wet mushroom brush, clean each mushroom, trimming and removing stems. Chop the good part of the stems. Place stems and spinach in glass or ceramic batter bowl. Cut the cream cheese into about 6 chunks and place over the spinach. Cover with a glass or ceramic plate. Cook in microwave 2-3 minutes. Blend well, adding a pinch of fresh nutmeg. Crumble bacon and/or almonds or pecans into mixture. Pile into mushroom caps and arrange on platter or plate. A deviled egg plate is perfect. Heat in microwave 2 - 3 minutes, or until caps are warmed through. Serve warm.

On Friday morning I headed to London to join in with the royal wedding celebrations. I'm not a monarchist, but I had no real quarrel with the wedding, and it's actually really lovely that so many people were getting so excited about it1. Plus, the state of the world has been so unrelentingly depressing for the last six months that a big national celebration seemed entirely welcome, and I figured it'd be nice to be around the capital when it happened.
I wanted to see the Mall crowds, but the main entrances were already blocked off when I arrived at about half 9 (not surprising, given people had apparently been camping for two days). So I veered into Trafalgar Square, where my bag was searched on the way in – they were checking for glass bottles, which I guess makes sense, but that's a new one on me for a public space. The square itself had two large screens and a stage, and the best viewing spots were pretty full, but the organisers had done a good job of keeping people moving around the edges. There was a jolly atmosphere, so I decided this was a good place to stay.
I took a few pictures, then found a vantage point and stopped to watch. The crowd slowly became more dense – I found out later they'd actually closed the square off by this point – and after a while I realised I couldn't escape if I wanted to. But it was good fun being part of the crowd as they reacted to the events on-screen. Bells were pealing all around, and everyone seemed happy and full of life. It was a very pleasant place to be, and as the on-screen events progressed things became more exuberant. The first really big reaction was for William and Harry exiting Clarence House:
We could hear the roar from Whitehall as the car turned out of Horse Guard's Parade, which was pretty cool. Not long after, the first sight of the Queen caused some manic flag-waving, but this was promptly dwarfed by the initial shot of Kate Middleton getting into the Rolls Royce. There were plenty of gasps as the dress became visible en route, and a proper moment of anticipation as the crowd waited for her to get out of the car. This was followed by some bemusement at the tv coverage choosing that moment to talk effusively about fashion and deceased designers.
My favourite point came when the BBC went properly cinematic, with a spinning wide-angle camera zooming in on the happy couple from the Abbey roof, just as the music climaxed and Kate Middleton reached the altar. There was a huge cheer for that. Once the service began aproper, there were more cheers after the vows, and a nice reaction to the moment with the ring:
And one more big roar after 'I pronounce you…'. After this it became even more godly and was clearly going to take a while, so I drifted off. Others clearly felt the same, and the crowds began to separate, and I was able to slip out to the back to hunt for a friend, who I knew was nearby. I figured she wouldn't be hard to spot, as she was wearing a wedding dress. But that's another post.
- plus I generally react badly to curmudgeons, and there were a lot of anti-wedding curmudgeons. My favourites were the people complaining about blanket coverage in the newspapers, as if it's 1995 and the physical size of a newspaper is in any way important. But anyway. Rant over. [↩]

Emersons Bird Dog IPA (330ml Bottle)
After two years of development on tap in our Dunedin Sound Series, Bird Dog India Pale Ale is now in our 500ml bottle. The combination of NZ and US hops in the boil, the hopback, and dry hopping, along with traditional bottle conditioning makes this true India Pale Ale a significant addition to our range. Bird Dog has always been a tribute to The Verlaines album.
India Pale Ale & IPA
India Pale Ale gets its name and unique style from British brewers who were making beer for export to India. This style has an intense hop flavor which was used to preserve the beer for the long voyage. India Pale Ale has a golden to copper color with a medium maltiness and body. The aroma is moderate to very strong. IPAs work especially well at cutting the heat of chili, vindaloo or Sichuan cuisine.

Climate Data Information
Airborne Dust & Temperature
Ice cores drilled in the Antarctic provide a record of temperature and dust going back for 800,000 years. (For more information on temperature see data on ice cores).
Figure 1
reveals the variation of Aeolian (air-borne) Dust and temperature from the EPICA ice-core. This shows that there is a clear inverse relationship between temperature and aeolian dust. In general there seems to be a tendency for rates of deposition of dust to increase during an ice age and to decrease rapidly at the next warm interglacial. The concurrence in the above graph does not appear perfect due to lack of synchronicity in the estimates of ice age used for temperature and dust.
Click Here to Download the Diagram Shown Below
Figure 1: Aeolian (air-borne) Dust and Temperature from the EPICA Ice-Core
It is believed that the increase in dust associated with cold periods has three causes:
Increase desertification,
Increased in land area (due to falling sea levels)
Increased winds.
Of these the predominant one is increased desertification. The increased land area due to falling sea levels is small relative to the area of the earth and lower temperatures would suggest that less energy would be available for winds.
Analysis of the dust shows that most of the dust deposits are from the hemisphere where the ice core was taken. On the other hand the synchronicity of the northern and southern ice-cap records suggests that the increase in desertification in ice ages was a global phenomenon. The corollary is that warm periods are associated with less desertification.

Print artists showing with the Gallery include:
Anita Klein, Ian Stephens, Frans Wesselman, Hilary Paynter and Colin See Paynton. More artists to follow!
These prints have all been created by the artist because they believe that a print – be it a woodcut, engraving or etching is the best medium to present the image the print maker wishes to convey. They are not photographic reproductions of paintings or drawings but have all been made directly on to a plate, block or screen by the artist with the deliberate intention of producing a print.
The artist produces a limited number of prints (an edition) and signs and numbers them. The number of the individual print and size of the edition is indicated by a fraction e.g. 4/50 (number 4 in an edition of 50).
Original prints offer an affordable way of acquiring original works of art and these unframed prints can be ordered through the Gallery.

How to: Manage Local Data Files in Your Project
A local database file can be included as a file in a project. The first time you connect to a local database file, you can choose to create a copy in your project or connect to the existing file in its current location. If you connect to the existing file, it is left in its original location. If you choose to copy the file into your project, Visual Studio creates a copy of it, adds it to your project, and modifies the connection to point to the copy. Other connections, such as those in Server Explorer are also modified.
The default setting of the property depends on the type of database file you are using. The behavior of the Copy to Output Directory property does not apply to Web or C++ projects.
During development, you might want to view the effects of your code on the database without making those changes permanent. You can do that by setting of the Copy to Output Directory property of the file to true. Each time the project builds or you press F5, the file is copied to the bin folder and changes are made to that file, not to the file in the root folder of your project. The database file in your root project folder is changed only when you edit the database schema or data by using Server Explorer, Database Explorer or other tool window.
The following table describes the settings of the Copy to Output Directory property.
|Copy if newer (default for .sdf files)
|The database file is copied from the project directory to the bin directory the first time the project is built. Every subsequent time you build the project, the Date Modified property of the files is compared. If the file in the project folder is newer, it is copied to the bin folder, replacing the file that is currently there. If the file in the bin folder is newer, no files are copied. This setting persists any changes made to the data during run time, meaning that every time you run your application and save changes to the data, those changes are visible the next time you run your application. Caution: We don't recommend this option for .mdb or .mdf files. The database file can change even when no changes are made to the data. Simply opening a connection on a data file (for example, by expanding the Tables node in Server Explorer) can mark it as newer.
|Copy always (default for .mdf and .mdb files)
|The database file is copied from the project directory to the /bin directory every time you build your application. Therefore, if you build your application and save changes to the file in the /bin directory, those changes are overwritten the next time that the original file is copied to the /bin directory.
|Do not copy
|The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. You must manually copy the file from the project directory to the output directory if you use this setting.
To respond to the Local database file dialog box
Click Yes if you want Visual Studio to copy the database file into your project and modify the connection to point to the copy in your project. For more information on working with database files in your project, see Local Data Overview.
Click No if you do not want Visual Studio to copy the database file into your project. Instead, the connection points to the file in the original location and the database file is not added as a file to the project.

Nutrients Supplied By Rebuild
Pryde's have formulated Rebuild to provide a balanced nutrient intake based on the knowledge of the specific needs of horses and the nutrient content of common feeds. Formulations are updated regularly as new research findings become available.
For the best results with Rebuild:
- The daily horse feeding rates should be used as a guide. The amount fed will depend on the quality and quantity of pasture, hay and chaff available, along with the horse's body condition, growth rate and stage of development, pregnancy, lactation or level of work.
- Feed in conjunction with good quality pasture, hay and/or chaff.
- Rebuild should be fed as part of a balanced ration where extra calories and protein are required for conditioning and muscle building.
- Divide the diet into two or more smaller feeds if feeding more than 0.5 kg per 100 kg of body weight of total grain, including Rebuild.
- Introduce into your horse's feed ration gradually over a period of 1 - 2 weeks.
- Clean, fresh water and a salt lick should be made available at all times.

Medical tourism is a term used to describe the ongoing trend of individuals who go to abroad to seek medical attention. Apart from referring to the patients going to other countries for medical treatment, medical tourism is also used for medical practitioners who go to abroad to render their services to people who don't have the means to have their conditions treated. In the world, there are only 50 countries who consider it as a national industry. These countries are found in Africa and the Middle East, the Americas, Asia and Pacific, and Europe.
One of the best companies in the world in the medical tourism industry is Satori World Medical, founded by reputable business healthcare executive Steven Lash. Steven Lash founded this company in 2008 in San Diego, California and they now call it as their global headquarters. In Satori World Medical, the procedures performed include cardiac, orthopedic, plastic, spinal, weight loss, vascular, neurosurgery, respiratory, abdominal surgery, ENT, dental, and GRS (gamma ray spectrometer). Despite its relatively young age in the medical tourism market, the company has already become a global leader due to its great services. Combining the company's outstanding and competent medical team as well as its innovative business model, it would always equal to success.
Since there are also medical tourism companies in other countries, seeking for treatment abroad cannot only be done in United States. What people has to know is that they should be careful with the company they choose since it would be very difficult for them to hold a company, from other country, liable to what happened to them. When talking about reliable company, Satori World Medical is definitely the name. Even though this company does not boast a long credential in the industry, the work it has provided to the people in the years it has been operating is quite unmatched. This company has the best people working for the company thus resulting to them providing the best services possible.
Related Articles:
The hospitals in the medical network contracted with by Satori World Medical do not only perform their different procedures in United States. Instead, these are also being performed in Canada, Costa Rica, India, Mexico, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Turkey. In Canada, it is only limited to cosmetic, reconstructive, and bariatric procedures. Satori ensures that all procedures in those countries are performed at International Centers of Excellence.
Steven Lash has certainly done a good job in establishing this company and putting them on top of the competition not just in the United States market but also in the entire world.

Look at who seems to be ready to take flight- none other than Bella Hadid! It has been disclosed by famous tattoo artist Jon Boy that his latest client to his tattoo parlor in New York was none other than the phenomenal supermodel who had requested for her own pair of angel wings.
He had also revealed pictures of her tattoo of two delicate black and white wings which she had tattooed inside both her ankles. He had also shown a picture of himself commemorating the moment with Hadid who was wearing a university jacket, suave leather pants and heeled boots.
While the real reason and inspiration for the wings is not known, a few possible reasons do come to mind.
It was last year that the 20 year old Hadid debuted on Victoria's Secret Fashion Show with sister Gigi and her close friend Kendall Jenner. She had then shared a wholehearted message that she had finally managed to fulfill one of her childhood dreams.
She had then reminisced on Instagram that she felt excited and appreciative about such a dream coming true. She had also thanked Victoria for giving her a chance to walk alongside some of the most motivational and marvelous women in the world.
So this reason for the tattoo being a tribute to a long-lasting memory does seem logical.
Another possible reason for Bella getting her tattoo may be something related to her split-up with The Weeknd. The lovers who were together for some time had separated in November after the R&B singer was seen getting close with Selena Gomez. That was more than enough reason to make her feel disgusted about the situation.
A trusted source informed E! News that Bella still loved The Weeknd and had not gotten over him. The source also mentioned that while they were on good terms, she was still feeling bitter about his relationship with Selena and that Bella wasn't pleased with the gossip circulating about The Weeknd and Selena.
So with a middle finger, an Instagram unfollow and a pair of tattoos, it certainly does look like Bella is working hard at moving forward with life!

LONDON — XBIZ is pleased to announce that JT, "The YouPorn Guy," will be its special guest keynote speaker for the 2014 edition of XBIZ EU, the international digital media event that draws leading U.K., European and American industry players for three days of education, networking and business opportunities.
XBIZ EU, slated Sept. 25-28, will set the scene for the most extensive conference program since its inception four years ago. This year, the show offers a new and exciting central London venue, The Hilton London Metropole Hotel — the perfect setting for uniting industry players from around the world.
JT was chiefly responsible for guiding YouPorn.com to its user base that grew to hundreds of millions of monthly visitors. After selling to Manwin, now MindGeek, in 2011, JT immediately developed a brand-new portfolio of paysites under the Really Useful Cash network.
In May, JT was featured as the subject of an XBIZ World magazine "Presidential Suite" profile and last year won the CEO of the Year at the XBIZ Executive Awards held in London.
JT told XBIZ that he's excited to be asked to do the keynote for XBIZ's London show in September, and hopes to offer an address that provides some personal guidance where the industry is headed.
"I'm looking forward to speaking about my history, my start in the industry, how we handled the meteoric rise of YouPorn.com, starting ReallyUsefulCash.com and where we are at today with the company," JT said. "I will also touch on the new gTLDs, and, in particular, answer why I am such a prolific buyer of the .xxx domains.
"I will discuss why I believe the industry is heading towards an inflection point and the measures that, as a content owners, we should be putting in place. And finally, I am hoping for a lively Q&A session towards the end of the keynote."
Alec Helmy, founder and publisher of XBIZ, said that JT's success story, as well as his business tips for company executives and entrepreneurs, should offer an enlightened experience for attendees of XBIZ EU in September.
"JT is someone who thinks out of the box, sticks to his dreams and as a result, has attained extraordinary success despite the uncertainties surrounding the biz," said Alec Helmy, founder and publisher of XBIZ.
