ACRN, a non profitable cultural association ruled by the French Law of 1901, was created in order to:
- Gather within an amicable structure all persons deeply attached to the symbolic image which the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of St-Nicholas sets in Nice, expressing there the long friendship ties that exist between France and Russia;
- Arrange an informative structure able to communicate and take action on all aspects related to preserving and valorizing the Cathedral of St Nicholas;
- More generally, promote knowledge and favor overall protection of the Russian orthodox cultural heritage in Nice and on the French Riviera.
- Facilitate and reinforce exchanges between the citizen of Nice, of the French Riviera, and of elsewhere, being themselves of Russian origin or having assembled family or friendly ties that demonstrate their affection for such values;
- Locally contribute even more widely to magnify moral and friendly ties as well as cultural exchanges between France and Russia.
To whom does belong the Russian Cathedral of Nice?
Here is the question which bustles all people…
The answer seems nevertheless simple to me: The cathedral is and will remain the symbolic and timeless house of all Christians who come here to pray, parishioners or travelers, all with no exception, being or not a member of the local worshiping association that is far to assemble the Russian orthodox congregation in Nice.
Because the Russian orthodox cathedral of St Nicholas is before all a place where to pray.
Let us not also forget that this monument is the most visited one in Nice (not to say on the whole Riviera) and also officially registered as an inalienable portion of the French historical patrimony.
It matters little whether one or the other organization is its temporal legal owner. Providing that such has and maintains full financial capacity to carry all and any heavy expenses needed to properly maintain and renovate the monument.
It happens that French Justice has just decided that the Russian Federation is now its legal owner. Well, why would this judgment embarrass us? Here is a friendly state, competent and fortunate, which will manage at its own expense this wonderful architectural and religious property, contributing to the good fame of the city which shelters it.

Full article
According to the latest USDA forecast for turkey production, during the first six months of 2011, turkey meat production was X.X percent higher than the same period in 2010 (X.X billion pounds). However, the forecast for turkey meat production in the second half of 2011 is X.X billion pounds, down slightly (less than X percent) from the same period in 2010. Higher feed costs and slow growth in the domestic economy are expected to keep production relatively flat for the foreseeable future.
The odds are that crop production forecasts, especially those for corn, will get smaller in the near term, not larger. Feed is XX percent of the cost of producing a turkey, so if production of crops such as corn and soybean shrink, meat and poultry production will grow slowly, if at all. The turkey industry will continue to work toward amending to these new economic realities.
Turkey demand has been excellent this year, especially for exports. Current estimates project XXX million pounds of turkey meat will be exported in 2011, which comprises about XX percent of total turkey production. In 2010, XXX million pounds of turkey were exported. The top three export markets for U.S. turkey meat were Mexico (XXX million pounds), Hong Kong (XX.X million pounds) and Canada (XX million pounds). Boneless dark meat (XX.X%) is still the top turkey product being exported, which is important to the turkey industry's economic health.
Renewable Fuels Policy
The U.S. government's renewable fuels policy is still a top priority for the turkey industry. NTF and its members were successful in achieving significant grassroots victories this past year. The Senate voted to repeal the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit and the tariff on imported ethanol, while the House on the same day voted to prohibit USDA from spending funds in the coming fiscal year to install ethanol "blender pumps" at gas stations, a key part of the ethanol industry's plan for the future. Despite these victories, NTF and its members recognize that the battle to reform federal renewable fuels policy into something more sensible is far from over.
As for the Renewable Fuels Standard, the turkey industry would like a flexible policy put in place that creates a practical, automatic and meaningful safety net to protect against a poor corn harvest. The turkey industry understands and supports the need to develop domestic sources of energy, but an adequate feed supply is a crucial priority. Food and energy should never be forced by government mandates to compete with each other for key inputs.
GIPSA's Proposed Marketing Rule
USDA's Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) proposed poultry and livestock marketing rule, if implemented, will increase regulatory and legal uncertainty for all segments of the turkey industry. USDA is finalizing its economic assessment of the GIPSA rule, but there still hasn't been confirmation from the agency that they will submit the study for public comment before finalizing the rule. Ultimately, the turkey industry would like Congress to include appropriate changes to the rule in the 2012 Farm Bill so that any new regulations would conform to Congress' specific recommendations in the 2008 Farm Bill.
Free Trade Agreements
The turkey industry supports the pending U.S. Free Trade Agreements (FTA) with Korea, Colombia and Panama. Combined, the three FTAs represent nearly $X.X billion in new agriculture exports and could generate up to XX,XXX new U.S. jobs. For example, by USDA estimates the Korea FTA alone would reduce tariffs on frozen turkey cuts from the current XX percent ultimately down to zero over the next seven years.
Food Safety
After recent recalls, NTF members convened a summit to discuss an aggressive, comprehensive response to enhance Salmonella controls in turkey products. The summit allowed turkey processors to work together to identify a range of strategies to reduce the incidence of Salmonella in turkey.
The turkey industry prides itself on producing safe, nutritious and delicious food for the American consumer. Because the industry places the highest priority on food safety, NTF and its members already have created numerous best management practices (BMPs) to ensure the production of the highest quality, safest product possible. They include Food Safety Best Practices for the Production of Turkeys, Best Management Practices for the Production of Ground Turkey and Best Management Practices for Immersion Chilling. The industry will continue to research emerging technologies to reduce naturally occurring pathogens in turkey products.
Upgrade It! with Turkey Campaign
NTF and Shape Up America!, the healthy weight campaign spearheaded by former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, commissioned a new survey that finds many parents are not equipped to assess their children's weight status and lack the information to improve the meals children eat outside the home.
In response to the survey findings, NTF stepped up its efforts to show parents how to improve their children's weight status by adding new extensions to the Meal Upgrade Calculator. Besides showing consumers how to "upgrade" favorite breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, this interactive Web site now gives parents the means to assess the weight status of their children and reduce the calories and fat consumed in meals served at school and in restaurants.
The Meal Upgrade Calculator is a way for NTF to show consumers that turkey offers a positive and simple step they can take to "upgrade" the family diet. Along with new tools to improve family meals, the calculator features information to help parents recognize overweight in their children and a new Family Activity Calculator that allows parents to select a favorite family activity--from taking a walk to playing tag or jumping rope--and then calculates the number of minutes it will take to burn an extra XXX calories.
Shape Up America! estimates that by taking advantage of these meal and activity "upgrades," families can save an average of XXX calories a day through improvements to family meals and another XXX calories through increased physical activity--XXX fewer calories a day. These savings are significant and show that small changes in meal preparation and increased physical activity can pay off in meaningful health improvements.
The extensions to the Meal Upgrade Calculator are available at MealUpgrade.com.

One of the benefits I have found to practicing daily is that I sometimes practice when I don't want to. You may think this seems excessive and certainly when I first started practicing I would just practice on the days I wanted to. After all I am doing this by choice right ?
I practice daily, 6 days a week and mostly I love it. It's some time to myself in each day and it reignites my passion for teaching through my own experience. However as much as I love yoga, some days I just do not want to do it. However, I have never practiced and wished I hadn't though so I now know I need to just get on with it. There are all sorts of reasons why I might not want to practice, if you have been practicing for a while you may find some of them familiar.
- I want to do something else
- I have to do something else – I have lots of work to do
- My body feels stiff/ tired/ not what I am used to
- It's winter, can't I just stay under the duvet until Spring?
- My mind is on hyperdrive – note I usually don't notice this at the time. It reveals itself as a resistance to the silence of practice.
I'm sure there are more…
There are times when you should not practice if you are really ill for example. We discussed this in my post about what to do regarding practicing yoga when you're unwell. There are also times when you might have to do a shorter practice or a less intense one. Having a daily practice or however many days you are ready to commit to is about showing up. It's about doing a gentle practice when you are tired. It's about being patient with your body when it's tight. It's about allowing your mind to buzz in silence and sometimes it's about giving yourself some time to be with your emotions when your mind wants to run and hide. Most of the time it will feel great and empowering but sometimes it will be challenging, and you will have to face yourself, to accept each moment just as it is.
Sometimes you get the most from the practices that you don't want to do. They give you a chance to accept you are inperfectly beautiful just the way you are. They offer you a chance to find some space when you don't want to, they reveal what you are hiding from and show you who you are. This is where the yoga journey really begins………..
Have you ever practiced yoga when you didn't want to? What was your experience?

Squirrels chew through vinyl siding
Q. Help! Starting last fall, I have had a recurring problem with squirrels chewing through the vinyl siding on my fireplace to access the cavity between the fireplace box and the outer wall.
The fireplace is brick for the first eight feet with a cement ledge, then siding all the way to the top. The squirrels sit on the cement ledge and chew through the vinyl as though it were paper.
I hired a wildlife removal company which trapped one squirrel. We left the trap for a week after the initial squirrel was trapped and it remained empty so I had the vinyl siding repaired and thought everything was fine. However, just this weekend, there's another hole. I am having the wildlife removal company set traps again today but what I need is a long-term solution.
I live in a townhouse community so my options are limited as far as changing the outside of the house to a different material. Do you have any suggestions?
A. Did your wildlife people offer any ideas why the squirrels are attempting time and time again to get in the space between the fireplace box and the outer wall? It almost seems to me as if they are looking for a place to build a nest in a warm and cozy place.
If your wildlife people can't suggest a way to prevent them from chewing your siding, try applying a solution of strong hot peppers over a sizable portion of the siding in that area. Make a batch and apply frequently, hoping that they will ultimately get the message.
If that does not completely end the chewing, less aesthetic alternatives would be to get bird spikes from a hardware store or online at www.nixalite.com or www.bird-x.com. Another alternative is to apply a small section of hardware cloth (buy in hardware stores).
Bird spikes or hardware cloth can be fasteedn to the vinyl siding with small dabs of caulking or construction adhesive.
Anyone in the blue yonder with better suggestions?by

Startup Weekend Adelaide
July 17th, 2015
We've started our engines!
– Matt Hardy
We're up and away – Startup Weekend Adelaide kicked off last night at the Flinders at Tonsley, hosted by New Venture Institute, in a whirlwind of energy, ideas and activity.
Although many nervous faces were visible as our 100-plus participants began to arrive, by the time they'd all enjoyed a bite to eat (thanks Bing Boy!) and realised their peers were all in the same boat, the nerves were quickly replaced with infectious enthusiasm.
Among the highlights were:
- Guest speakers Mal Chia, Uber Australia's Marketing Manager and former Startup Weekend Adelaide winner, and Andre Eikmeier, VinoMofo founder, highlighting the critical need for participants to focus their efforts on developing an effective business model, rather than fixating on the "idea".
- Andre getting everyone in stitches – and more importantly, relaxed – with stories of his many and varied failed personal enterprises prior to achieving his current phenomenal success. "Don't let fear stop you, just f*#$ing do it!"
- Close to 100 one-minute pitches that ran the gamut of human enterprise, with plenty of innovative thinking on show. Although, having said that, we have to admit the opening line that got the most deafening cheer of support may have been, "Who likes beer?". Nothing wrong with innovation that quenches a thirst, of course!
- The buzz and hum of a room full of people all chattering away as they formed the teams that will develop, over the next two days, the top 16 ideas presented on the night. The spirit of collaboration was absolutely wonderful to be part of.
So now the hard work starts.
With team's formed and roles within them identified, they'll regroup this morning and, with their mentors' assistance, start working through the long list of commercial considerations that every startup business must address.
Bring it on!

Following in the proud tradition of Darth Vader, Princess Leia, and Lando Calrissian before him, Chewbacca is getting his very own limited comic book series this fall.
What's it about?
Gerry Duggan and Phil Noto are teaming up for this story set after the Battle of Yavin. After crash landing on an Imperial planet, Chewie finds himself cut off from Han and the rest of the Rebel Alliance. There he meets a young woman who needs his help, and Chewie must find a way to defend her home from the Empire's forces.
It sounds weirdly like a classic Fistful of Dollars/Yojimbo set-up, and that's pretty awesome.
Of course.
And when can I read it?
Chewbacca #1, the first of a five issue limited series, will be out on October 14.
In the meantime, here are the covers for the first issue, along with a few teaser panels:

§ 24. Mr. MORRELL
asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he has yet received reports with regard to the continuance of that form of field punishment known as "crucifixion"; and when he will make any statement on the subject?
§ 28. Major HAYWARD
asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that there is inequality in the administration of justice in the British Army in France owing to the varying practice of commanding officers, some awarding field imprisonment No. 1 only for grave offences while others do so for minor irregularities; whether he is aware that this form of punishment is not only degrading to the victim, but by creating feelings of indignation and discontent in the minds of British soldiers who witness it tends to destroy the moral of the Army, besides leaving a bad impression on the minds of our Allies the French population; and whether, seeing that field imprisonment No. 2 is precisely the same punishment as No. 1, with the omis- 1283 sion of the part known as crucifixion, the Government will take immediate steps to abolish it and substitute field imprisonment No. 2?
§ Mr. MACPHERSON
I must, in the first place, protest against the term "crucifixion." By its continued use, unfair and unnecessary prejudice is introduced. In accordance with the intention indicated by my right hon. Friend the present Prime Minister, reports were sought from all the General Officers commanding Armies in the field. I would remind the House that it is upon these officers and not upon any of those who sit here that the responsibility—I must say the very onerous responsibility—lies of maintaining effective discipline without which, not only the safety of the Armies, but also the success of operations will be jeopardised.
All the responsible commanders consulted except one agree that it is impossible to do away with field punishment. The General Officer Commanding-in-Chief in France, whose experience in this matter, of course, covers the widest field, strongly desires that this form of punishment should be retained, and in particular thinks that the abolition of Rule 2 (b) would have disastrous and far-reaching consequences. He attributes the rapid building up of discipline in the New Army units largely to the judicious use by commanding officers of the power of awarding field punishment, and he fears that the result of its abolition must inevitably be that recourse to the death penalty would become more frequent. I am sure that the House will recognise that civilian standards of what is suitable form of punishment are quite inapplicable to the necessarily stern conditions of active service. In such conditions punishment must be summary and concentrated; it must not, by being spread over a long period, deplete the fighting line and provide men, even men of good character, with a chance they may find it difficult to resist of getting away from field conditions. The essentials in field punishment are the infliction of physical discomfort and the stimulation of the sense of shame.
The desire of the military authorities to use the necessary power of awarding exemplary punishment for its just objects, and for no more than its just objects, has, I think, been conclusively shown in the Army (Suspension of Sentences) Act, the provisions of which are well known, but in 1284 regard to which it may not be equally well known that the principle and details of the measure were suggested by the then Commander-in-Chief in France.
Although, therefore, field punishment cannot be abolished, the Army Council see their way to provide some additional safeguards and to standardise the carrying out of the punishment when it is inflicted, but this requires some further consideration, and I am not in a position to furnish any details to-day.
§ Mr. MORRELL
Are we to understand that a written report will be laid before the House upon the subject? Can the hon. Gentleman tell us when he will be in a position to furnish further details?
§ Mr. MACPHERSON
I cannot say that. If my hon. Friend will consult me in private I shall give him all details I have in my possession and arrange with him to discuss the thing in this House if necessary.
§ Mr. PRINGLE
Will the articles on this form of punishment appearing in the newspapers associated with the present Secretary for War now be suspended?
§ Mr. OUTHWAITE
Will inquiries be made as to the methods adopted in the French Army for maintaining discipline without this form of punishment?
§ Mr. MACPHERSON
My right hon. Friend has made those inquiries.
§ Mr. HOGGE
Will the reports from the commanders in the field which the War Office has received be published?
§ Mr. MACPHERSON
I have not consulted my right hon. Friend.
§ Mr. PEMBERTON BILLING
Will the hon. Gentleman give an assurance, pending these decisions, that field punishment No. 1 shall cease in this country?
§ Mr. MACPHERSON
As far as I know, field punishment No. 1 has never been enforced in this country.
§ Mr. BILLING
If I give the hon. Gentleman instances will he assure the House that it shall not occur again?
§ 27. Major HAYWARD
asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office how many sentences of field punishment No. 1 have been inflicted on British soldiers in France since the commencement of the War; how many of such sentences have been awarded by courts-martial and how many by commanding officers under their 1285 summary powers, respectively; and whether this form of punishment has been inflicted for such minor offences as galloping mules on the highway, losing steel helmets, losing iron rations, firing a round of ammunition by accident when practising rapid loading, and first offences of simple drunkenness unaccompanied by aggravating circumstances?
§ Mr. MACPHERSON
It is not practicable to give the information which the hon. and gallant Member desires, but I would remind him, as has previously been stated in this House, that under the provisions of Section 44 (5) of the Army Act, field punishment may be awarded for any offence.
§ Mr. MORRELL
Will the hon. Gentleman obtain particulars of the case in which it is admitted by the War Office that men suffering field punishment died under the infliction?
§ Mr. MACPHERSON
I have no knowledge of any such admission made by the War Office.
§ Mr. PRINGLE
Will my hon. Friend see that those persons who have circulated reports that men have died under crucifixion are dealt with according to law?
§ Mr. BILLING
What is the most junior rank of officer who is capable of inflicting the punishment of crucifixion?
§ Mr. SPEAKER
The hon. Member should give notice of that question.

Delicious popcorn with my movies is something I could never live without. But buttery crunchy, poofy goodness is not exactly compatible with a healthy lifestyle. And because I have to continue eating this for the rest of my life, I had to come up with a healthy popcorn snack.
Tools for Healthy Popcorn Snack
Before you start, there is a tool you need. You need a hot air popcorn popper. This kind is important because air doesn't add any calories and still gets the popcorn out of its kernel state.
I included all the ingredients I use. You could also substitute the Pam for an Olive Oil spray. I just haven't tried it, but I think that would work fine and be a little healthier.
How to Make Healthy Popcorn Snack
Pour a 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels into the hot air popcorn machine. As the popcorn is coming out in the bowl, spray each layer of popcorn with the Pam. Usually I have about 3 layers.
Then sprinkle with sea salt. It is very important to use sea salt instead of regular salt. Iodized table salt is granular and doesn't stick as well. Sea salt is more of a powder. When you sprinkle it, just rub it between your thumb and index finger. It will stick to the fine layer of Pam sprayed on the popcorn.
Husband Approved, but not Husband Adored
Austin likes this okay, but if truth be told, he would much prefer big globs of butter. He suggested spraying more of the Pam and adding more salt. You'll have to play around with your own portions for taste.
With a little adjusting, I think Austin and I will have a healthy popcorn snack that we both adore, but for now, it is just approved.
I'm all about full-disclosure.
I have more yummy snacks to share with you too.

Great opportunity, a particularly attractive haven for children and busines
A romantic mountain valley
With paved road to the entrance of the property, plenty of water, electricity, landline and internet; a rustic farm with a trout river that crosses it. This river forms at one point a small island with a centuries old oak in the middle, a magnificent waterfall, a suitable legalized bridge for 75 tons along a private road which it allows to drive up to door of four of the five buildings that are offered. The main house is located 5 meters from the river (minimum authorized distance) on a wooded lot with over 300 trees or more, including oak, beech, ash and some hollies and hawthorns, abundant grass for animals and a very bucolic view as those a fairytale in a tourist and protected area between the two main paths that connect with Castro Valnera (the biggest mountain on area)
Large flat areas
Although the mountains, river and forest, the estate of over 33,000 m2, has about 10,000 m2 of flat land in a closed view from the outside that allows passage with vehicles to buildings valley. This farm offers a great attraction for tourism related nature business or a beautiful place of private recreation
Great opportunity, exceptional beauty
Less than 4 hours drive from Madrid, this property is a great opportunity, not only for its low price but for its unique beauty and practical impossibility of finding something similar. With minor reforms and completion of the already undertaken whose conclusion has not been able to finish owner, can have a wonder of nature only available to a select few.The area is gastronomically rich and the sea is about 50 km (31 miles), roughly the same distance to Santander city. A local 6 km road invite you to travel such distance by cycling through the sounds o f the birds and the wind in contact with the trees, connecting you from the door of the farm to Vega de Pas, a little town of great tourist attraction.
LIC zone (protected natural area)
The farm is located in a SCI area (Site of Community Importance) where is currently not permitted the new housing construction, but you can remodel the old buildings, which it offers a unique setting that allows from now onwards the private enjoyment of nature in its virgin state. It offers a total of 5 buildings, one of them is a unfinished building with 2 semi-detached houses and 3 cabins zone style. One of the terraced houses, about 100 m2, is habitable, with concrete roof and all mod cons inside, like hot and cold water, kitchen, bathroom and fireplace, next to a large living room and two bedrooms, plus a fourth storage of two heights of 10 m2 each. The other house is in absence of doors, windows and interior layout; beamed ceiling and pillars of genuine solid oak and roof flakes waterproof stone, once completed, will allow invite friends or family without losing privacy of all or connect them to set a property of more than 200 m2, with porch, gazebo, terrace and large balcony to relax watching the river and vegetation from a comfortable sofa or armchair.
Built with authentic stone pasiego style and two floors each called "cottages" are all in very good condition to rebuild and turn them into beautiful homes, as you can see in the below picture. Two had in the past the function of "reside cabins" and the third cabin has had function of animal stable and haystack, which facilitates keeping horses and other animals if desired. All cabins can be easily remodeled and converted into precious area style houses by investing a little quantity of money, like the one shown wrapped in snow in the below photo. Two of them can be reached up to the door with any vehicle, including trucks, while the third is located about 20 meters high on the west side, which is accessed through a trail and offers spectacular views. The largest cabin (above right picture) is located in a perfect place for your eyes; in the back (west) according to photograph, the river and the beautiful waterfall and the front (south) the river makes a bend and behind it, under such waterfall, there is a small meadow surrounded by beech, forming a little ravine made by water from the waterfall, who channeled it to the river, what shows a visual treat
Mild temperatures all year
Although it is a mountainous area, the farms are located just 420 meters high from see level, which means that the temperatures are mild and pleasant, never extreme, allowing the enjoyment of property in each of the seasons, since the average winter temperature is about one degree higher than that of Madrid. Snowfall, very casual, are of great appeal when they occur, as seen in some of the photos.
Seasons, flora and fauna
Winters are mild and rarely freezing temperatures are reached, allowing spend pleasant seasons in the light and warmth of the fireplace, for example: at Christmas.
Springs offers a symphony of light and color with plenty of water, where the river provides even greater pleasure to the trout that inhabit it and where frequently we are visited by wild animals such as deer, wild boar, squirrels, various types of weasels, birds of all kinds with frequent sightings of vultures who clean the fields of those animals whose age did not survive the winter or sometimes heron perch on the roof of a house trying to surprise the elusive trout; kites, titmice, robins and occasional other animals, rejoice both sight and hearing.
Summers are ideal to get away from the heat of other areas and enjoy beautiful beaches or bathing in the pools of our river, which, although rivers are never private in Spain, this born in a nearby place and has the main entrance from the farm, offering several places to swim in clean and clear water who have not yet contacted to any other persons than you, including the appeal of which is comfortably accessible only to those places from the farm. In addition. Summer is perfect to visits the fishing port of Santander will allow savor dishes products exquisitely cooked sea and always at affordable prices, especially tuna, which has its fishing season in summer and is widely known as "Albacore".
Autumns, like spring, offer another symphony of color, hardly observable in the same condition from places farther south; diversity of deciduous trees throughout the area produces many shades and colors each more beautiful. It is an area of chestnut and walnut trees that allow planning excursions to collect these fruits which later will roast in the fireplace with oak wood offering an authentic and perfectly seasoned with such wood flavor.
Great opportunity
Although there is talk of a valley, in reality it is 2 farms. However, before buying were three farms, which for practical reasons decided to join two of them forming a single, which means that if interested, can dissociate again.
Without concessions to the mistake, we can say that we are talking about a field of the most beautiful that can be found even if you think the whole planet. As already said, the two farms form a valley that has a single entrance, forming a bend that it obscures the interior from outside the valley, so privacy is warranted from those who do not go inside; an exquisite, private and at the same time well connected bucolic setting, where rain becomes a delicious and where children can be in direct contact with a variety of flora and fauna while they are in their own home. This valley so rich in nature is on sale for a price within the reach of almost anyone.
East side farm of the valley
Estate of over 11,000 m2; It is observed on page 2, which is accessed through the aforementioned private bridge 4 meters wide and suitable for loads of 75 tons .By finishing the main building and rehabilitating the big pasiega cabin (you can connect all three houses into one), you will get an enormous house of around 400 m2 or more in the woods, counting with the same amenities offered any housing in the city. It also has a concrete road over 3 m wide and parking of identical material suitable for 5 cars, but since the road is private, you can park as many cars as you like.
The price of this property is 146,000 euros and as mentioned, it offers a total building surface of over 400 m2, so although unfinished, you can habit the mentioned 100 m2 house while you repair or prepare the property as your own taste: you have water and hot water, electricity, phone with internet and fireplace, among other services, as well as many trees including oak, beech and ash trees, which comes out for something less than 13.3 € / m2 counting the buildings, the road, the parking and the proportional part of the bridge and gateway.
Farm on the west side of the valley
This farm, about 22,000 m2, is the largest of the two and between the two make up the entire valley, so, although it is possible to buy them separately, if so the charm of having a property that spans the valley would be broken and destroying the privacy of the place. It has two double floor pasiegas cabins; one (used as live house in the past) of 60 m2 and the other (block and barn) of 50 m2, both equally with water, electricity and access to fixed phone along with the waterfall, over 300 trees or more ( I've never counted), where most have oak and ash and the proportional part of the bridge and gateway.
The price of this property is 96,000 euros which means has a rate of 4.36 €/ m2, including a total buildind of over 110 m2 in stone 70 cm thick and waterproof roof stone flakes. The living cottage is located on one of the edges of the private road, which provides access to inside parked at the door of it. The other cabin with of block and barn functions, is somewhat smaller (50 m2) but you can rehabilitate and convert it into two beautiful apartments, one on each floor and enjoy views across the valley to the side of large oaks you have, hollies and right next to the waterfall. Reiterating what has been said, all cabins have connections for electricity and telephone access.
Farm 1 – 146.000 Euros
- House 100m2, unfinished but habitable and all services: electricity, hot and cold water, telephone, etc..
- Two-storey house in the absence of doors, windows, interior, with 2 large rooms, hall, terrace, balcony, etc.
- Two floors cabin of 11 x 6 m (136 m2) plus a detached 3 x 8 m (24 m2) Total 160 m2 authentic stone wall.

- Prestressed concrete walkway in front of the large cabin, legalized and including all materials, but unfinished.
- Private road and concrete parking on the east side.
- Meadow of about 1,500 m2 surrounded by trees along the river.
- Island about 200 m2 with old oak trees and with easy access to river water for bathing.

Size optimization defines ideal component parameters, such as material values, cross-section dimensions and thicknesses. Shape optimization is different from freeform (topology) optimization in that it is used once the component's topology has already been defined. Topology optimization is used to generate material layout concepts whereas shape optimization refines and improves the topology within the concept.
In shape optimization, the outer boundary of the structure is modified to solve the optimization problem. Using finite element models, the shape is defined by the grid point locations. Hence, shape modifications change those locations.
Free-shape optimization uses a proprietary optimization technique developed by Altair Engineering Inc., wherein the outer boundary of a structure is altered to meet with pre-defined objectives and constraints. The essential idea of free-shape optimization, and where it differs from other shape optimization techniques, is that the allowable movement of the outer boundary is automatically determined, thus relieving users of the burden of defining shape perturbations.
Topography optimization generates an optimized distribution of shape based reinforcements such as stamped beads in shell structures. It is an advanced form of shape optimization in which a design region for a given part is defined and a pattern of shape variable-based reinforcements within that region is generated. The approach in topography optimization is similar to the approach used in topology optimization, except that shape variables are used rather than density variables. The design region is subdivided into a large number of separate variables whose influence on the structure is calculated and optimized over a series of iterations. The large number of shape variables allows the user to create any reinforcement pattern within the design domain instead of being restricted to a few.

Paul (MD of Change Works) is so passionate on his work. He has been terrific throughout the course hes designed specifically for our young leaders.
Pressure facing young leaders in our current high tech, fast changing world is immense. Some of the participants attended the course left us after realizing that their life goal do not align with the company culture. Others who are still with the company has been tremendous, a revolution and is the bedrock of the company culture, cultivating younger leaders for the future.
I have enjoyed Paul's method; full of fun, laughters and sometimes tears. I will not hesitate to recommend Paul to anyone and he is worth every penny!

Sir Cliff heads for the top
Sir Cliff Richard could confound his critics again if early chart figures are proved right - and go to number one with his Millennium Prayer single.
The song is 6,000 sales ahead of the new Boyzone single, Every Day I Love You, in the midweek charts.
If his lead holds up, he will be top of the new chart on Sunday, delighting fans who have fought to have Millennium Prayer - The Lord's Prayer sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne - played on radio.
The 59-year-old singer joked: "I've got everything crossed for Sunday. I thought I ought to start looking for my own radio station."
But the lack of initial radio airplay has helped Sir Cliff defy this rule, as has promotion through the internet. The Christian Herald has also sent out free copies to churches, who played it to their congregations.
The huge publicity generated by fans, who were outraged when BBC Radio 2 left it off its playlist, will have also contributed to sales.
Sir Cliff was depicted as the victim of musical snobbery by newspapers such as the Daily Mail - and fans went into the record shops to see what the fuss was about.
The song - released on the tiny Papillon label rather than his usual company EMI - will receive further exposure on the BBC's Children In Need appeal on Friday night, when Sir Cliff makes a guest appearance.
Children In Need is one of the organisations making up Children's Promise, the charity which will benefit from sales of the single.
Sir Cliff has always insisted he was not aiming for the coveted Christmas number one slot with The Millennium Prayer - and is bemused by the controversy his record has stirred up.
"I don't understand where the fuss has come in. I can't use my usual criteria for judging rock 'n' roll as I would have done for [his 1979 hit] Devil Woman as I would have done for this song - it's completely different."
In contrast to Sir Cliff's modesty, Friday's Daily Mail trumpets the possibility of his return to number one as "a punch in the nose for the musical snobs who sneered" - comparing his 'exclusion' from Radio 2 with the BBC putting Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel on a restricted playlist in the 1950s.
Sir Cliff may feel in need of a rest when the publicity dies down - fortunately for him, he is already taking the year 2000 off to visit Australia.

The journalist Terenia Taras has spoken of her relief and anger after prosecutors cleared her over allegations of phone hacking more than a year after she was first arrested.
After spending 13 months on police bail, Taras was one of three journalists told by the Crown Prosecution Service on Tuesday they would face no further action.
The other two journalists cleared by the CPS were Raoul Simons, a former Times reporter, and Ross Hall, who wrote for the News of the World under the pen name Ross Hindley.
Taras said she was pleased to finally restore her professional reputation. "I have been on police bail for 13 months. It has been incredibly stressful and I'm extremely glad it is now over, with my integrity no longer in question," she said in a statement.
Taras, a freelance journalist, was the fourth person arrested under the Metropolitan police's Operation Weeting probe on 23 June 2011. She is the former partner of Greg Miskiw, the News of the World's former assistant editor (news), one of the eight individuals who were charged on Tuesday on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept communications.
Taras added: "I have never had any involvement in the deplorable practice of phone hacking and believe I was dragged into the investigation by association and the fact that I'm an investigative journalist who has worked on some very sensitive stories recently.
"I haven't written for newspapers for the past five years whilst I've been establishing myself in broadcast media. Hopefully, now I can get back to doing what I'm passionate about – working on investigative documentaries and current affairs programmes as part of this country's strong journalistic tradition."
The CPS confirmed that Hall and Simons would face no further action in relation to phone hacking. Hall was arrested by detectives from the Metropolitan police's Operation Weeting unit on 2 September 2011, and Simons was held on 7 September.
Hall worked for the News of the World until September 2006 and is now a consultant at a London PR firm. He is the nephew of Phil Hall, who edited the News of the World from 1995 to 2000.
Simons is a former deputy football editor at the Times. He joined the News International title from the Evening Standard in August 2009.
Neil Wallis, the former executive editor of the News of the World, has been rebailed by Scotland Yard until September, with the CPS having asked for more information in relation to his case.

February Goals
So, I plan to try and set four to five monthly goals at the end/beginning of each month. The goals will vary and will cover several different aspects of life: work, personal, and blog. I'm gonna try and set at least one goal that will cover each category.
1. Read 5 books. I have really been slacking it in the reading department so far this year. I only got through 3 books in January and if I want to accomplish my goal of reading 75 this year I need to read more. My problem has been not knowing what to read. I have so many books on my TBR list that it's difficult to pick which to read next! So I WILL read at least 5 books this month.
2. Clean out my closet. I need to do a bit of pre-spring cleaning in my closet. I have so many items that get zero wear that all they're doing is taking up space. But I also need to take an inventory of sorts of the clothes I do have and put together outfits so I'm not tempted to buy anything new. Because I really don't NEED any. But boy do I sure WANT new everything!
3. Print photos for my frames. I have 4 really pretty photo frames sitting in various spots around the apartment that are empty. And have been like that for months. So I need to settle on four and just print them already. It'll be bring a little more personality into my little space!
4. Open up a separate savings account. This is something that needs to happen ASAP. I currently have saving account but it's connected to my main checking account and is visible to me at all times. Which is a problem because I can easily transfer money between the accounts and so basically it's just too easily accessible for me. I need an account where money is automatically taken out of the paycheck and put into a completely separate account that I do no see on a daily and or weekly basis. I've realized that is the only realistic way I will be able to save any significant amount of money.
Alright, for my first set of monthly goals I think that's pretty good start. It's gonna be fun to cross these off my list. I've written them in my planner so that I'm constantly reminded of them! I plan to do the something for March.
I can't believe it's already February. I feel like I'm gonna blink and the school year is gonna be over. (Which is a-ok with me because I have an epic summer lined up!)
Hope you're February is off to great start!
Linking up with Jenn and Jess for What's "Ha-Pinning"!

The savings account is a great idea--and definitely one that you don't see every time you open the bank account.ReplyDelete
I'd say just look for books that you enjoy instead of feeling pressured to read 5 or 75 or whatever. As long as you're enjoying it, that's what matters! Thanks again for the Throne of Glass rec!
5 books? Please get me on this motivated train! You got this!ReplyDelete
I'm never good at creating my own monthly goals, but I love reading when other people share them! I definitely fall into the same issue of not knowing what to read next and always worrying I'll make the wrong choice (so stupid, haha).ReplyDelete
we have a capital one 360 savings account and it is great because it's taken out automatically and you can't see it unless you log in. plus it accrues interest, not a lot but still. good luck with the books! deciding what to read next is sometimes SO hard.ReplyDelete
Can you please give me the secret to reading more? I was happy with the fact I read 1 book so far this year hahahaReplyDelete
Great goals! I'm starting to make monthly goals for myself too, I stick to them more when they are smaller and more manageable than yearly ones I find.
Happy Wednesday!
You need to join a reading challenge! If you choose books that you already own or are on your TBR list, it helps you to pick what book you want to read next. The first thing I did for Erin's Challenge was to go through my Netgalley list and fit books in there and then I went through my Nook. I totally need to print out pictures too! They're all just sitting on my computer, and they need to be out for everybody to see!ReplyDelete
I love goal setting! I totally need to clean my closet out! I have been putting it off for too long!ReplyDelete
I hope you get all your books read this month! I read a lot in January, but February is a shorter month so I made my goal 5 books. I hope to get more than that though!!ReplyDelete
These are all great goals! I wish I could get through one book a month. I need to step up on my reading. It seems to take me forever these days to finish even a book I love. The savings account is also an awesome idea. I can't see our main savings (I'm sure my husband did that on purpose) and its nice to not know it is there.ReplyDelete

I could feel the weather finally start to cool down. It was the first week of October but nearing 1pm the temperature inched towards 90 degrees. I slid on a pair of jeans and a light cardigan and rolled my bike out the front door. I rode slowly towards the center of town, as always marveling in the beauty around me.
As I passed the Dar Chebab where I work I casually looked over my left shoulder, checking for traffic on the deserted road and wondering what Abdelwahb's family was making for lunch. I hadn't visited their house in months and as I turned left thought about how excited I was to see them again.
The next thing I knew I was laying on the ground, my lungs burning and gasping for air. A small SUV sat parked twenty feet away from me, the driver still in his seat, unsure if he should get out or just drive away.
Slowly I put the pieces together. I had been hit by the car.
I looked down and realized I could barely feel my left leg. I tried to crawl out from under my bike which was laying on top of me. A crowd of men had already formed and were asking me questions in rapid fire – Do I want to call an ambulance? Do I want to go to the hospital? Do I want to call the police? Do I want to file a police report? – I answered none of them, shock still ringing in my ears and my lungs desperately searching for air.
With the help of two of the men I stood up and hobbled to the side of the road. Someone else found my shoes, which had flown off and scattered in the road, and brought them over to me. I asked for my phone and called my doctor from Peace Corps. She could barely hear me over the shock in my voice and the group of bystanders which had now amassed more than 20 people. I asked her if I should go to the local hospital (which I was explicitly instructed never to do). She said it was up to me. I asked if I should talk to the police. She said it was up to me.
Confused, and crying now, I hung up. The questions from the crowd continued. I didn't know what to do.
I called my Moroccan dad, but he didn't answer. Arabic failing me now, I needed someone to make decisions for me. I called one of my best friends, who coincidentally was in an accident in the very same spot just six months earlier, to come help me.
Ayoub arrived on the scene a few minutes later, out of breath as I was being led slowly into an ambulance by the local firefighters. I called another friend and told him to meet me at the hospital.
The emergency room was deserted on that sunny Sunday afternoon as Ayoub led me into the examination room. I was instructed to sit on the examination table and Ayoub was asked to leave. I slowly hoisted my leg onto the table and recalled my last and only other visit to a hospital in Morocco – the Hassan II Hospital in Agadir where Ayoub had surgery on his knee last spring after the accident.
Hassan II Hospital is notoriously known as the worst public hospital in Morocco. When I went to visit him his mom and I had to walk through blocks of rooms that almost looked like large jail cells. Ayoub's section was dark, with floors that looked like they hadn't been mopped in weeks. He was staying in a room with five other male patients with severe leg injuries. There was no nurse in sight and if he ever needed real assistance he often had to bribe someone with money to do so. He told me stories about how he had to hide his belongings because people would come in and steal them at night while they slept. He had been transferred there from our town's hospital more than a week previously, and would have to wait more than another week to receive the surgery that would insert metal rods to repair his fractured knee.
As I pulled my own damaged leg on to the examination table at the Tata hospital, I couldn't help but think of my friend who sat on the other side of the door and the horrible experiences he had gone through – yet knowing selfishly that if I had seriously injured my leg, I wouldn't have to go through that. I would be rushed to a hospital in the capital or more likely, flown back to see doctors in America. In that moment the power of my privilege – my citizenship – hurt more than the leg I was unable to move.
Just then my friend Ilyas rushed into the room, panic-stricken and out of breath, interrupting my train of thought. As soon as he saw my face he breathed a sigh of relief while I consoled him – "I'm fine, I'm fine," a motto I would stick to in the coming weeks while my limp persisted. He stated his purpose as my translator and refused to leave the room.
The nurse walked toward me and began applying red anti-bacterial ointment to the road rash cuts still bleeding on my knuckles and tops of my feet. He never washed them with soap and water. He then began to examine my leg. It had been crushed so hard between the car and the bars of my bike that the swelling was clear from across the room. It was so swollen that I couldn't roll up my jeans above my ankle for him to examine the injury. He never asked me to change. He moved his hands across my calf and shin, over my jeans, never feeling my foot or above the knee. He stated what I believed to be true already – it wasn't broken. Then he stepped away from the table and the exam was over.
He never asked if I had hit my head (I did). I was never given tests to check for a concussion. I was never given tests to check for internal injuries. No x-rays were taken. He never physically saw the injury to my lower leg, nor the bruising and cuts on my upper thigh.
The doctor sat on the other side of the room and never examined me. She only asked if I was up to date on my shots, prescribed pain medication, and gave us a serious attitude.
The whole encounter lasted less than ten minutes.
I received a call from Peace Corps the following afternoon requesting that I immediately make the more than sixteen hour journey to the capital. No Peace Corps contracted drivers were available that week so I had to make the entire journey via public transportation, further aggravating the severe swelling to my lower leg.
Upon arriving to Rabat thirty-six hours after the accident I was walking on my own, albeit slowly and with a noticeable limp. I had also developed severe whip lash pain in my neck that made it difficult for me to lift my head on my own. There, in Morocco's capital city and in the care of Peace Corps, I received all of the tests my local hospital had neglected to give me. My head was checked for a concussion (negative). My body was checked for internal injuries (negative). I had more than ten x-rays taken of my neck, left leg, and left foot (all negative).
Everything came back clear. I was going to be okay.
I'm not writing this story to garner sympathy. I am not concerned about the status of my health care. I know that in the case of an emergency I would be given the best health care Morocco has to offer. In the case of an extreme accident I would be airlifted out. I would be flown to America. I never would have to go through what Ayoub did. I would never be taken to the Hassan II Hospital in Agadir. My citizenship guarantees that.
Someone asked me while I was visiting in America a few weeks ago what the hardest part of serving in the Peace Corps is. He asked me if it was hard to see things that I know I can't change. This situation is exactly what he was asking about.
One of the cornerstones of being a Peace Corps Volunteer is learning to live just as your community members do. Sure, I speak the local language, I shop at the local markets, I work at the local centers with local women and youth. I eat the same food, drink the same water, live in the same type of house. I don't have hot water or modern plumbing or air conditioning or indoor heat.
But I have disproportionately better health care. If I so much as cough funny Peace Corps will pay for me to go to the capital to be checked out by our doctors. I see a dentist once a year for a check-up. I know that in the case of strife I would be one of the first people out of the country and out of harm's way.
My community members don't have that.
If you've ever heard of Peace Corps Volunteers or humanitarians or aid workers talking about the guilt they feel – this is it. The harsh reality that we never will understand everything, never will be fully integrated, never will be just the same.
Because our privilege prevents it.
Over a month after the accident, I still feel butterflies in my stomach every time a car passes me. But it's not because I'm afraid of getting hit again. I'm afraid one of my friends or one of my students or one of my neighbors will.

Jazzy Kinds Of Blue
For born-and-bred rockers, it's pretty darn tempting (not to mention gratifying) to blast through the blues' three-chord construct in mindless "full shred ahead" mode, riffing on a pentatonic minor scale ad nauseum. But logging some serious shed time conquering the art of playing on top of the changes—a classic jazz approach that crafts lines based on the tones of the underlying chords—can turn the same old blues into a whole new ballgame and offer new chordal and melodic contours to your sound no matter what stylistic stomping ground(s) you call home. So grab your hollowbody jazz box, (or vintage Tele, or cutaway Breedlove acoustic, or Ibanez 7-String, or Line 6 Variax) and explore some new ways to make I-IV-V come alive!
A good point of entry for a jazz indoctrination is mastery of some tasty new chord shapes. Don't be freaked out by numbers greater than 7. Think of 9ths and 13ths as 7th chords with extra color. They're all derived from the same scale and jazz musicians will use these extensions interchangeably.
Imparting the wisdom of blues classics like Miles Davis' "Freddie Freeloader" or TBone Walker's "Stormy Monday," Ex. 1 builds a riff with an A7 chordal stab followed by a chromatic-leading-tone slide into the 13 (the F# on the 7th fret of the B string). Note that the second chord is a rootless voicing of an A9, and that the A13 refers to the overall harmony of the entire lick.
This same phrase transposed over the IV chord is the basis for Ex. 2. The F# in the previous measure is now the 3 of the D9. Dig how the 3 of the A9—the C# on the 3rd string— drops down to a C, which is the 7 of the D9. This little half-step drop is a can'tmiss way of implying a I-IV change.
Most guitarists know the classic E7#9 that opens Ex. 3 as "the Hendrix chord" but jazzers were hip to this grip long before Jimi ever kissed the sky. Using a sliding 7#9 voicing to suggest a V-IV-I cadence this is a tasty way to nail the last four measures of the 12-bar vamp.
Once you have the above examples solidified, plug them in to their corresponding harmonies (Ex. 1 over the I chord, Ex.2 for the IV, and Ex. 3 for the turnaround) to complete a sweet-sounding 12-bar comp.
New and exotic chord shapes sound pretty rad when played block-style but they can also serve as the lattice for crafting intricate, melodically adventurous single-note lines as well. The E9 four-finger spread that kicks off Ex. 4 is a useful tool for playing jazz, blues, rockabilly, or Western swing. Here, it is arpeggiated high to low, then bumped down a whole step to spell out a D9 before morphing into a more traditional A minor pentatonic lick. When played up to tempo, you should clearly be able to discern the underlying VIV- I-V turnaround harmony even though the line is almost entirely derived from single notes. Heed the suggested fingerings to stay on top of the rapid-fire position shifts in the first two bars.
Set over the I-IV-I-I motion typically found in the opening four bars of the blues, Ex. 5 makes heavy use of chromatic leading tones. The Bb to B nudge that helps delineate the 3 of the implied G13 in bar one is replicated as an Eb to E kicker for the C13 in bar two. For bars three and four, reach for the D on the first string with your pinky to nail the tricky lick. This allows you to replicate the Bb to B leading- tone approach—now up an octave—with a smooth-as-silk first-finger slide.
Listen to single-note-line jazz guitar masters like Grant Green and Charlie Christian to catch the vibe of Ex. 6, a phrase that also spans the first four bars of the 12-bar blues. The funky swagger of bars one and two is copped from a Bb minor pentatonic scale with a lowered 5 and 6 added. The D in the 3rd measure nails the 3 of the I chord, then in the 4th measure comes the kicker—a brief detour to the key of Eb to outline a Fm7 to Bb7 to Eb progression. That's right— a classic II-V-I jazz turnaround!
For Ex. 7, let's stake out some minor blues territory. Bar one suggests an E alt (short for altered) chord. This is an E7 chord with all the diatonic extensions, plus some non-scale chord tones such as the #5, b9, #9 and #11. This exotic-sounding line starts on the root of E before ascending to the b9 (F), the 3 (G#), the #5 (B#), and the #9 (G). It eventually resolves to the E on the 5th fret of the second string— the 5 of the Am I chord—but not before feigning one half-step above and below this target pitch. These colorful chromatic dance partners can be woven around any given note and are often referred to as orbit tones.
Modally-based blues forms such as Miles Davis' "All Blues" or Charles Mingus' "Nostalgia in Times Square" let the first four measures of the 12-bar pattern function as an extended vamp. This expansiveness works out especially well in 6/8 allowing the creation of long flowing melodic ideas like the descending sequence in Ex. 8. Cool move alert—by changing all the Ebs in this run to Es, you can imply a chord substitution of Fmaj7 for the F7. Now, go practice 'til ya turn blue!

Love Me Some Karaoke
I totally love Aaron's family. They are so much stinkin' fun to be with. One of our favorite things to do is karaoke. We spend literally hours doing this. My sister-in-law, Julie, is one of the funniest to watch because she gets SO into it. Here are some videos we took when we did karaoke on Christmas Eve. It's more impressive than it looks, since the karaoke CD that we have for Newsies doesn't have the words. Adam and Julie, I hope you guys don't get too embarrassed that I'm posting this! You're AWESOME!!

Reflecting on 2008
A friend of mine suggested that instead of looking at the old year, agonizing over all the things we did or didn't do, and then resolving to change everything in 2009, we should examine all the great things we accomplished in 2008. While I'm still in favor of resolutions and setting goals, I think that reflecting on the positive things that have happened this past year is a wonderful idea. So here's my list:

Martin Brummel, Head Groundskeeper at FC Ajax NV, has made a commitment to alleviating all chemicals by 2020, to abide by the new environmental law set by The Netherlands—a genuine leader for a new standard of sustainability. While the EU has an agreement to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in 2020 by 20% on 1990 levels, the Netherlands maintains it's aggressive efforts to remove chemical use by then.
Read the details of the decisions made here: A General Union Environment Action Programme to 2020 'Living well, within the limits of our planet'
The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) calls on European delegates to promote an ambitious international framework beyond 2020, based on their commitments to release the European Strategy for a Non-Toxic Environment by 2018. The release of such a strategy would make Europe a leader in the SAICM discussions and inspire much needed progress on safe chemicals management.
Magnation is poised to be the solution for not only saving water (which came in handy during the tremendous heat wave this summer), but also assisting the removal of chemicals from turf management (and Ag!) protocol.
The good news is it won't be so difficult for the Toekomst, the elite training facility for internationally acclaimed, champion-studded professional soccer club out of Amsterdam. Magnation was installed two years ago and as of this summer has amplified the benefits by adding a couple more double-duty Aquabolts to their facility.
The fact that Magnation impacts soil health and promotes moisture retention with balanced distribution is one reason soil amendments can be removed from the menu. Need greener greens? Nature has a way of doing that by absorbing optimal amounts of nutrition… which can be done by way of improving root structures and improved capillary action in the soil, making room for delicious and nutritious molecules to funnel straight up into the vigorous turf those blessed players pound on daily. These things add up, especially when aiming to reduce emissions and significantly curtail the impacts of chemical use.
We keep it simple. Leveraging natural physics is our remedy.

Boeing has reportedly pushed back first flight of its 787 aircraft from the end of September into October.
The Seattle Post Intelligencer, citing people familiar with the matter, reports the manufacturer has pushed back the first flight mainly as a result of the complexity of installing and integrating various systems on the 787.
In particular it says it has taken longer than expected to get the critical flight control systems and software up and running, and communicating with the other systems.
Boeing rolled out the 787 last month. Boeing CEO Jim McNerney subsequently said that, while still aiming for a September first flight, the company had put contingency plans in place in case it slipped into October. He maintained that, even with a slip, delivery of the first aircraft to All Nippon Airways in May 2008 would remain possible.
The US manufacturer could not immediately be reached for comment, but the Seattle Post Intelligencer says Boeing would not confirm the first flight of the aircraft was scheduled for October.
"We remain on schedule for entry into service in 2008," Boeing said in a statement to the paper. "The pockets of behind-schedule condition vary. Since recovery plans are in place, our overall assessment is that we are on schedule."

It seems that Gigabyte made a slip up to confirm that Nvidia will be launching its GeForce GTX 880 in September, something that's kept quiet until now.
The news was first leaked in EXPReview when they published an interview (now removed) with a Gigabyte representative. It is confirmed that the company would be launching its G1.Gamer variant of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 880 desktop graphics card by September. As one would imagine, if Gigabyte's representative is sure enough to talk about the launch date, its obvious other AiB partners will launch their variant of the GTX 880 as well.
In the interview, the representative pointed out that its non-reference version will have a larger than standard-size GPU cooler which is capable to help to dissipate 650W of heat once it reaches high temperature as the fans are temperature-controlled. Any other specifications were not revealed, but it will be based on Maxwell architecture.

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo insists his "future is in Madrid", reiterating his statements earlier this week that he would like to stay in Spain as speculation about a possible return to Manchester United continues. Speaking in Monaco's Hotel de Paris on Thursday evening, the 28-year-old striker reaffirmed his commitment to La Liga. "I enjoy of course to play there [Real Madrid], I play there for four years so I want to continue there," he told reporters. Ronaldo praised Monaco for their acquisition of Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez, Joao Moutinho and former Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho while stopping short of saying he would like to join the club. "It is not the best day to speak about my future. I am going to have time to speak about that at the beginning of preseason," he said. "This is a good club with a fantastic owner. Monaco are back in Ligue 1. I wish them the best. I do not say that I would never go to this club, but now I'm happy at Real Madrid. I just want to come to Monaco for the holidays." Ronaldo has yet to sign a new contract with Los Blancos - with his current deal expiring in two years - and former club United are reportedly lining up a big-money summer bid for him. Earlier this week, the Portugal star, who has scored a remarkable 201 goals in 199 games for Madrid since arriving from Old Trafford as the world's most expensive player in 2009, spoke fondly of his time in Manchester. But he stressed that he is content with life at the Bernabeu. "I really miss English football. For me, it was some of the best years in my career when I was there in Manchester United," Ronaldo said as he paid a visit to a school in Singapore. "Everyone knows that. It is the club that is still in my heart and I really, really miss [United]. "This (Manchester United) is a club that is in my heart for a long time. Everyone knows the passion that I have for this club. But my future is at Real Madrid."
I really, really miss Manchester United but my future is at Real Madrid

Pulao as street food ? Yes that was my exact reaction when I saw a dish called Tawa pulao on the menu of a stall for the first time in khaugalli (a place in Mumbai famous for street food). One can find Tawa Pulao on the menu of almost every Pav-bhaji stall in Mumbai. Interestingly this dish has almost all the Pav-bhaji ingredients in it. The original recipe involves preparation on a hot flat pan, also called as a tawa and hence the name. We participated in a potluck recently and the theme was Mumbai night. I was the last one to select the menu and decided to make this dish. Spicy tawa pulao can be a one-pot meal. Go ahead and try it if you havent !! Here is the recipe.
Rice - 3 cups (cooked)
Peas - 1/4 cup
French beans - 1/4 cup
Carrots - 1/4 cup
Cauliflower - 1/4 small cubes
Potatoes - 1/4 cup peeled, sliced
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 Tbsp
Pav-Bhaji masala - 11/2 Tbsp
Lime juice - 1Tbsp
Butter and oil
Chopped Cilantro and onion wedges for garnishing.
1. Cook some rice (3 cups). Cut the vegetables and half-cook all the vegetables except the tomato and onions.
3. Put Pav-bhaji masala, salt, half-cooked vegetables and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Then add rice, butter, salt and lime juice.

Regression analysis is a statistical process for estimating the relationships among variables. It includes many strategies and techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables when the focus is on the relationship between a single or more variables. This is most commonly used in a mathematical setting where giving examples of certain things on which has the greatest impact.
If you want to see different options of this analysis, we offer downloadable formats in excel document that you can make use of. These are best if you are asked to make an analysis in an excel template. Less hassle and more convenient.Analysis Template samples are all here for you to check out.
Creating a regression analysis does not focus on one term, there are numerous aspects in which this type of technique is being utilized. One example is when finding out the total value of two compared variables in a form of cost regression analysis.
In this, there are two certain variables being compared, and then right after, a total value will then be computed. This is mostly used in a store business or any related business that deals with product selling. Business owners will then find it more easy to check how much they earned for a certain day, week, month, and so on.
Though some may use different computation, but this way is the most common and widely used. We also offer a template for this. And not just that, we also have Competitive Analysis Template and Market Analysis Template samples.
Another most common aspect where regression analysis is used is in the financial field such as in the bank, accounting department, business setup, project plans, and other related areas. For this, we referred it as financial analysis. It is the process of evaluating businesses, projects, budgets, and other finance-related entities to determine their performance and suitability.
When looking at a specific company, a financial analyst conducts analysis by focusing on the income and expenditures or balances. And again, this is mostly done with a used of an excel document for better and precise presentation.
Financial Analysis Template can help you when you are planning to create this type of analysis. We offer all sorts of regression analysis template in Excel. We also made it this way so that it will match what a certain person wants. These are all downloadable and can be edited easily. If you want to add more variables or change the format or perhaps add a different formula for the computation, an Excel document is the best choice. That is why we've created these Excel templates. Make life easier and free from all the hassle. You can download these templates now!
