When I present my red caviar plate at a party, those who dare to taste it are intrigued to find out how I make it. When I resolved to make caviar, I could not find much information in English about how caviar is made. The basics I learned from Russian forums online from people in Siberia where they work at caviar processing plant, they told me how they make for commercial use and how they make for themselves. Since commercial production requires chemicals, and neither I or them were favorable of that, they were kind enough to share their recipes with me. Even though i had pretty good guidelines, i still had to practice and experiment on my own. It was quite a quest, but I love the results and I enjoyed the process. Hope you you will too!
First of all, you need to have fresh caught whole salmon.
The best species for caviar are
1. Chum (dog) salmon
2. Coho (silver) and
3. large Sockeye (red).
Pink salmon are my last, pink salmon eggs are pale in color, and while they taste fine, their presentation is not remarkable, and considering how much work it is to make caviar, and that I have the best available, I use the best. However, if I had only pink eggs, I would gladly use them.
Salt water King salmon make excellent caviar, but they are not very abundant in recent years.
Its better to use the salmon roe immediate after it has been taken from the fish.
But if you must collect salmon roe for later, put them into zip lock bags, so that they remain moist, and keep them cool on ice until you're ready to begin. I'd not use them after two days.
Before you start, you need to make a brine. I use 4 parts of water, 1 part of salt. The salt MUST be real salt: either rock or sea salt, or kosher salt, NOT table salt. Look at the ingredients, if there is more than one ingredient, its not salt. Use salt only. Real salt is essential, at first I tried to use table salt, which has a dozen ingredients, and it was disappointing. When I switched to real salt, the result became excellent.
This brine need to be boiled until the salt is dissolved and then it needs to cooled down. The fish eggs will be soaked in cold brine. You need to make brine in advance, because it takes a long time to cool.
When the brine is ready and cold, and fish egg sacks at hand, the work on separating individual eggs from the skein begins. (The skein is the membrane that holds the eggs together).
UPDATE: i now also preserve roe in skeins, which is from Italian tradition called bottarga, and from Japanese – karasumi. Alaskan natives also preserved in skeins. For my upcoming tutorial stay tuned and sign up for newsletter
In the picture that follows, I am using a cookie rack as a screen to work the eggs off from the skein, and a baking pan as a receptacle. You also need a small bowl for discarding the membranes, and some paper towels to clean hands when it becomes necessary.
Take one fish egg sack at the time and gently open flat. The roe sack will only open from one side, you'll see, the skein does nor completely encircle the eggs. Its like making butterflying steak, but without knife. Then, gently drag that open side on the rack holding with one hand and the other hand massaging (but gently) and the eggs will start falling through the rack down to the pan. The sack is very fragile, you will tear a few apart until you'll learn how to do it gently. It takes some time to get most eggs out, but some always stay and those you can share with seagulls.
When your finished separating the eggs from the skein, you will have a bowl of separated fish eggs. These eggs you will mix with the cold brine to cure them into caviar.
I pour brine over the eggs, I usually don't measure that part, as much brine as to cover the eggs and maybe an inch more. But the time to soak them you need to measure. About 5 minutes are required and you gently and slowly swirl the eggs around with a wooden spoon.
Next, pour the eggs over a sieve, and repeat the process again, but this time soak for about 8-10mins, in new batch of brine, discard the old one. Yes, the time window is pretty small. All together eggs have to be soaked about 15-18mins. If you forget for a half an hour, that's it, it will be too salty. If you soak the eggs for just 10 minutes, then they will not be sufficiently cured to last in the refrigerator until the holidays. There is some room for variation, if the caviar is going to be consumed immediately, then you can soak a few minutes less, if they are for sometime in winter, then more time is needed. If they taste too salty for your palate, then keep them in your fridge for a few months, the salty flavor moderates with time.
After the eggs are soaked and strained for the second time, its time to dry them. When I say dry them, I do not mean until they are crunchy, but only that they have to be allowed to drip off excess moisture.
I have large, wide sieves, I bought from Asian market. Spread the caviar in a thin layer. Cover with plastic wrap or tea towel, so flies wont get in.. Allow the caviar to drip for 4-6 hours, a little less if its warm outside, a little longer if its cool.
After your caviar is dry its ready to go to the jars and be stored to the fridge. Caviar is perishable, even though preserved naturally with salt, you need to keep it refrigerated also . It can last in the fridge until next fishing season or you can enjoy it immediately. Fresh caviar is delicious, but the classic caviar flavor is gained only after the eggs have matured for a few weeks.
How to use caviar check my next post
If you don't have access to fresh salmon, but would like to buy some caviar at the store I'd recommend that you check your local Russian or Eastern European store. Most cities have them. Usually caviar costs around $30 per lb. If you have seen imitation caviar and if you are wondering why it cost so much less, and what nutritional value it has, or what is it made from, then check out the following link. This lady agreed to share her video on imitation caviar. I'm grateful for this lady to show how its made, but i'd personally would never buy imitation caviar.
Did you know that caviar is the best source of vitamin D? I'm pretty sure, thats what kept native Alaskans healthy in long dark winter months. There is excellent book about traditional diets by dr. Weston Price "Nutrition and Physical degeneration"
Have you ever made caviar?

Is it possible to use freshwater steelhead eggs to make caviar?
I am SO impressed by your work!! I just found you today & look forward to sharing more of your posts! Two of my best friends are awesome Alaskan women. 🙂 Blessings & thanks for all you share!! 🙂

Quick question for you: Last night I taught on the 4 keys at a pastor friend's church. I passed out to each person the "4 Keys" wallet cards that you give freely on purchased orders. Anyway, my question is this.
I had everyone (about 22 people) close their eyes and practice using the eyes of their heart by 1st envisioning a red car, and secondly by envisioning Peter walk on the water to Jesus, fall, and Jesus catch him. I shared the slide from your book where it shows one screen but 3 projectors; ours, the devil's and God's. So obviously this exercise was using the "my projector" screen. So when I asked them to envision a red car, there were 2 people who couldn't envision that. I found out later that they could see the car but not the color red. They don't see colors in visions or in dreaming. Do you have any insights into this or thoughts you could briefly share about this? I prayed with one of them asking God to give him color in his visions and dreams. As I think about it I realize that I don't typically have strong colors in my dreams. They aren't black and white but the colors don't stand out necessarily either. I haven't encountered this before and was curious to any insights you might have.
Eric Morgan
Answer: Normally the more left-brain the person is, the less color they see in dreams, visions and Godly imaginations. Conversely, the more right-brain a person is, the more vivid the colors in their dreams, visions and Godly imaginations.
I have polled probably 20 groups (by show of hands), asking who sees color and who doesn't and then determining if those who don't are left- or right-brain. I find they are left-brain.
Some actually teach that if your vision is from God it will have color in it and if not, then it will be black and white. I don't see any biblical evidence for this, and my polling and my own personal experience do not confirm this. When I began seeing visions they were generally black and white and now, after purposely using the eyes of my heart for a good time, I note that I see more in color.
Bottom line, when leading others in a visionary prayer, I don't push colors much.
Response Back: Ok, that makes sense. I actually mentioned to him something similar to this because he told me he was very left-brained (computer programmer type of person).
What about you? Are your visions usually black & white or full color? Has the clarity increased or colors intensified during different times in your life? Please share your experiences in the comments below.

Black and white visions

I too sometimes have that same problem. Could it also be from stress?
Color or not in Visions
by Anonymous
My experiences in vision is this; I see in both color and black & white but sometimes it is like looking into a 35 milometer negative. It depends on God and what he wants to get through to the person I am talking to or for myself.
As the years go by there more intense in color and in the black & white is even more intense. Also it is happening more frequently.
My dreams are very colorful and very real. At times they have been very physical in the real time and I would wake up feeling like someone pinched me or one time I woke up because the rat that was biting me in my dream hurt so bad it left teeth marks on my thigh when I woke up from the nightmare.
And yes, I am a right brain.
Why Are My Visions in Black and White
by Anonymous
Thanks for looking into this. There seems to be so much range in dream, vision and also impressions that the LORD speaks through. Sometimes they may start out either in color or B & W and grade by stages or by scenes all the way to brilliant colors and light, Or important things may be highlighted with sharp colors and an inner glow. Voices/ knowings may be more important than imagery in certain cases. Perhaps if a person tests near the middle, neither right or left brained this would more often be the case? Maybe the part of the brain a person is predominantly in at the time may have an effect on how colors are seen or not. It also seems to me that spiritual warfare dreams can be in black and white to full on realistic color also. It is commonly taught that they are B & W or muted only.

"Genocide continues. Rapes in and around the (refugee) camps continue. Humanitarian assistance is still hindered. More than 5,000 displaced persons die each month."ICC PROSECUTOR WARNS UN AGAINS SUDAN COVERUP
UNITED NATIONS, Dec 03 2008 (Reuters) report by Patrick Worsnip:
The International Criminal Court prosecutor told the United Nations on Wednesday to be prepared to arrest Sudan's president on genocide charges and to guard against any coverup.Note the prosectuor's sweeping statement: "More than 5,000 displaced persons die each month". Surely of the 4.7 million people in Darfur currently receiving UN aid, many thousands are expected to die each month anyway - as is the case each month in every other country. What is Mr Moreno-Ocampo basing his numbers on? Is he implying 5,000 Darfurians are killed each month as a result of conflict?
ICC judges in the The Hague are considering a request by the prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Campo, for a warrant against President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on the charges for crimes in the war-torn Darfur region. A decision is expected next month.
Moreno-Ocampo told the 15-nation U.N. Security Council it "must be prepared. If the judges decide to issue an arrest warrant against President al-Bashir, there will be a need for united and consistent action to ensure its execution."
Moreno-Ocampo accused Bashir of promising ceasefires then ordering bombing raids in Darfur, of denying that mass rapes were taking place and of promising justice while torturing witnesses.
"Genocide continues. Rapes in and around the (refugee) camps continue. Humanitarian assistance is still hindered. More than 5,000 displaced persons die each month," he said.
Bashir's "criminal actions should not be ignored," the prosecutor said. "The international community cannot be part of any coverup of genocide or crimes against humanity."
African and Arab states have criticized Moreno-Ocampo's attempt to bring Bashir before the ICC and suggested the Security Council should delay any proceedings.
In a separate, written report to the council, Moreno-Ocampo called on U.N. member states to back up any arrest warrants by severing nonessential contact with indictees and imposing travel bans and asset freezes on them.
The prosecutor has also requested warrants against three Darfur rebel commanders whose names have not been made public.
Sudan's U.N. ambassador, Abdalmahmoud Abdalhaleem, accused Moreno-Ocampo of "political blackmail."
"He's increasingly transforming the ICC into a tool that has nothing to do with justice," Abdalhaleem told Reuters, adding that most countries in the world want the Security Council to suspend the investigation against Bashir.
U.N. officials say up to 300,000 people have been killed since the Darfur conflict erupted five years ago and that 2.7 million have been driven from their homes. Khartoum says 10,000 people have died. (Editing by Doina Chiacu)
Here's another thing. Since when was it proven that Darfur was or is genocide? Mr Moreno-Ocampo behaves like judge and jury. The text here below that I have highlighted in red seem to me to be statements of opinion, not facts. Mr Moreno-Ocampo sounds like he has a vendetta against the Sudanese government. He does not appear to be even handed.
Aren't people accused of genocide innocent until proven guilty? When people's lives, reputations and country are at stake, including the security of neighbouring countries, facts and evidence are what we expect from the ICC, not speculation and opinion from the one and only prosecutor. Shame on the ICC for allowing such brazen and damaging unprofessional remarks. To be fair, perhaps Mr Moreno-Ocampo has been working too hard and needs a holiday. Or, who knows what's really going on behind the scenes, maybe he is on his way out.
Here's another reason I can think of. Since Mr Bashir is being blatantly prejudged by the ICC he could never get a fair trial as too much stuff was floated in public. I know what I am trying to say but am too tired right now to find the right words.
Right now I am feeling deflated and disillusioned by so many twisted lies and machinations in the press. I actually feel sorry for Mr Bashir because I believe he has worked tirelessly to hold Sudan together and has done a good job. Sudan could so easily have gone under and turned into a Somalia. Sudan is not a failed state as some pundits predicted, thanks to Mr Bashir and his hardworking team. They deserve more credit and respect. Some readers here might find it odd but I find reports out of Sudan more truthful than those bandied around by Western groups driven by self interest.
The other reason I feel so disappointed is that this latest news from the ICC is music to the rebels ears and emboldens them along with millions of their uneducated followers sitting doing nothing at the expense of millions of hardworking, law abiding tax payers around the world. I wish that Britain would stop sending aid to Africa and have a rethink. We are now in a recession and cannot afford to waste more money on lowlife rebels and their followers when the lives of our own citizens are at risk because of a shortage of resources for adequate medical care, medicines and fuel for heating. Poor people are also suffering in the UK. Most Africans don't ever appreciate our help anyway, in fact a lot of them resent it and see it as interfering, harking back to "colonialism". I say let's take a break to take care of our own country and let them get on with theirs.

December 03, 2008 Deutsche Presse-Agentur report via Africa News
New York - The United Nations' top prosecutor said Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir was destined to face justice if he is indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) later this month for his role in the deadly Darfur conflict.- - -
ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo earlier this year requested an arrest warrant for al-Bashir on seven counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Sudan's war-torn Darfur region. Moreno-Ocampo said he expects the ICC's judges to rule on his request some time in December.
The ethnic conflict in Darfur has pitted Khartoum-backed Arab militias against African rebel groups, resulting in more than 300,000 deaths since 2005 and more than 2.5 million refugees. The US has labelled the militants' campaign genocide.
Moreno-Ocampo, briefing the UN Security Council in New York on his investigation, accused al-Bashir of 'inciting violence' over the charges and threatening UN peacekeepers in the region.
The UN Security Council originally tasked Moreno-Ocampo with building a case against the perpetrators of war crimes in Darfur. But some have criticized Moreno-Ocampo's case against al-Bashir as politically motivated and endangering ongoing peace talks in the region.
The Arab League and African Union have called on the 15-nation Security Council to block al-Bashir's indictment if it goes ahead. Moreno-Ocampo defended his decision, telling reporters that his job was to 'follow the evidence' wherever it leads.
Two people have already been indicted by the ICC - the country's interior minister and a member of the Arab Janjaweed militia - and Moreno-Ocampo is seeking arrest warrants for four more, including al- Bashir.
Moreno-Ocampo said he has received 'zero' cooperation from the Sudanese government in his investigation but held out hope that al- Bashir would be brought to justice eventually, even if Sudan, as expected, does not deliver him to The Hague-based international court.
'Realistically, I think he will face justice - I don't know (if) in two months or two years,' Moreno-Ocampo said. 'If he is indicted, realistically al-Bashir's destiny is to face justice.'
An ICC indictment means al-Bashir would potentially face arrest any time he travelled outside of Sudan.
December 03, 2008 UN News Centre report
The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) today called for concerted action by the Security Council to enforce any arrest warrant against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for allegedly committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur if the judges issue one.- - -
"Genocide continues. Rapes in and around the [internally displaced persons'] camps continue. Humanitarian assistance is still hindered. More than 5,000 displaced persons die each month," ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said in a briefing on the west Sudanese region, where more than five years of fighting between Government forces, allied Janjaweed militia and rebel groups have killed an estimated 300,000 people and driven another 2.7 million from their homes.
"The international community cannot conceal the crimes. President al-Bashir's criminal actions should not be ignored, statements of ceasefire followed by bombings, denial of massive rapes or promises of justice while torturing the witness should not be supported," he added, citing numerous such examples that he said had occurred over the past year.
"The international community cannot be part of any cover-up of genocide or crimes against humanity."
Mr. Moreno-Ocampo requested the arrest warrant in July. "The Council must be prepared. If the judges decide to issue an arrest warrant against President al-Bashir, there will be a need for united and consistent action to ensure its execution," he told the 15-member body, whose decisions are binding.
Asked at a news conference later what could be realistically expected if a warrant was issued, he replied: "Realistically, I think he will face justice, I don't know if in two months, or two years." He said that in the case of a warrant, within Sudan it would be up to the courts to act, but Mr. al-Bashir would be arrested if he flew around the world.
Referring to the joint UN-African Union mission in Darfur (UNAMID), the prosecutor told the Council peacekeepers and aid workers should not be forced to work in an environment where the crimes they are trying to prevent are ordered by Mr. al-Bashir himself. "In such an environment, their efforts will never be enough," he added.
The prosecutor said three human rights defenders were arrested in Khartoum last week and tortured for giving information to the ICC and that so-called "suspected ICC witnesses" are arrested and tried for treason.
Mr. al-Bashir used the illusion of militia/Janjaweed autonomy for years to disguise the Darfur conflict as a tribal one and "this helped him to continue to carry out the genocide in the face of international scrutiny," he added.
The ICC has already issued arrest warrants for Ahmad Muhammad Harun, former Minister of State for the Interior and currently Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs, and Janjaweed militia leader Ali Kushayb. Mr. Moreno-Ocampo has also requested arrest warrants for three rebel commanders, whose names have not yet been disclosed, for their role in last year's deadly attack against peacekeepers in Darfur.

Here's Nicholas Kristof's opinion piece at NY Times blog December 3, 2008::
Arresting President BashirI couldn't disagree more. See Sudan Watch Thursday, August 21, 2008: Sudan's leader al-Bashir says ready to go to war.
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno Ocampo, briefed the U.N. Security Council today on his investigation of genocide in Darfur. Moreno Ocampo indicted Sudan's President, Omar al-Bashir, in July for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, and the court is expected to issue the arrest warrant in January or perhaps February, so he used his speech to urge the Security Council to get ready:If Security Council members can act together, the crimes will stop and millions of lives will be saved. If different interests prevent a strong and consistent position in support of the Court's decisions, if they give room to false promises, rapes will continue, destruction will continue. An opportunity is coming. A united Security Council can make a difference…. No political support, no financial aid should be provided to those individuals subject of an arrest warrant or those protecting them. For those assisting the indictees, individual travel bans and freezing of assets should be considered as appropriate….An indicted person travelling on the territory of an UN member State should be arrested and surrendered to the Court.The Bush and Obama administrations need to work with other countries to prepare for the indictment. It's absolutely certain that the court will issue the arrest warrant in some form. There is a possibility that the counts will not include genocide, but only crimes against humanity and war crimes, but in any case the arrest warrant is coming and we need to get ready. If we can ensure that there is a united front around the world — particularly including China and African countries — then Bashir will be out by spring. If, for example, China sent word that it wouldn't transfer weapons to Sudan if its head of state were an indicted war criminal, then Sudan's elites would quickly throw Bashir under the bus (and there are lots of rumors that such a step may be coming).
So lets hope that the indictment will be a step toward an end to the Darfur genocide, and that U.N. member countries will agree to cut ties with Bashir once he is indicted. We have a ray of hope in Darfur now, for the first time in a long while.

Remember the time when Instagram just started and we all just used it for the filters and didn't even realise people could follow us on there? I used to post like ten pics in a row for the 'Earlybird' filter and then stick um on my blog. I do cringe A LOT at how overly processed those pictures were on my very basic first iphone camera but I still have a huge soft spot for apps that give you that analogue feel.
I've been experimenting with a few and thought I'd pop some of the results on here just for fun. Anyone remember the days you'd take your disposable camera out on nights out and pick it up after a couple of days with no memory of what was on there? God I feel old sometimes!
I edited these with the Kuji Cam app which actually does all the editing for you, I like the simplicity of just adding the photo and seeing how it turns out.
I'd love to know what you think, are you a fan of vintage apps? x

"Listen, we got an 8 and a shoe came off," he told reporters. "Honestly, I'm very happy. I'm excited." Alley later laughed off her latest dancing mishap on Twitter. In a message to fans, she wrote: "Hello!!!!! We love you!!!! So sweet to stand by us through thick or thin..... Or NO shoes.... Thank u!!.. So sweet!" Asked who was to blame for the show mishap, she jokingly told People.com, "I think that the other girls came into my dressing room and tampered with my shoe. And I'm not going to name any names ...

Centre of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) at ISB - Partnering to Cultivate Innovation
CENTRE OF INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (CIE) AT ISB - Partnering to Cultivate Innovation
Nestled in the boulder strewn and skyscraper-speckled landscape of Hyderabad's IT suburb, the Indian School of Business has continually strived to make a mark on its immediate environment and the larger economic ecosystem. ISB is doing its part to catalyse local and national growth and innovation and help Telangana live up to its potential as a global nerve centre for entrepreneurial vitality and industry-relevant knowledge creation. The government of Telangana is its natural and foremost ally in this endeavour.
The School's Centre of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) has played an instrumental role in a number of initiatives in collaboration with the state government as well as other entities with complementary resources and aligned goals. The Technology Entrepreneurship Programme (TEP), T-Hub, and the Research and Innovation Circle of Hyderabad (RICH) are among these initiatives.
In July 2014, ISB launched the TEP to encourage engineering students to consider technology entrepreneurship as a viable career option and enable a culture of entrepreneurship in the region. In association with the governments of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the TEP seeks to embed entrepreneurship education in engineering disciplines, linking entrepreneurial and innovative behaviour to educational and career pathways. The programme also seeks to guide budding engineers in developing and launching business ventures, thereby driving the creation of investable technology-based start-ups.
ISB faculty are playing an important role in training the faculty of the participating engineering colleges. From an enrolment figure of 700 high-performing students in 2014, the number of students trained through the TEP has grown significantly, reaching 1,500 annually. From 14 colleges at the outset, over 35 colleges are associated with the programme today.
The Telangana government, in partnership with ISB and other academic partners, set up the T-Hub, one of the largest incubator in the world. Its physical infrastructure, a 70,000 sq. ft. building called CatalysT, is intended as a vibrant laboratory, network hub, and repository of resources for entrepreneurs (it is currently in a phase of further expansion). CIE also provided strategic inputs, helping to shape and resource the T-Hub's programme offerings.
The multi-stakeholder RICH comprises 30 leading academic institutions in the region, coalescing around the strategic goal of nurturing and institutionalising innovation mechanisms and optimising inter-institutional collaboration and research potential towards this end. It works to identify and incubate IP from research and enable the quick commercialisation of industry-relevant innovations in multiple fields, serving the larger purpose of stimulating economic growth and development. One of the components of RICH is a Research to Market Fund, which assigns growth capital and risk capital. RICH is headed by the former dean of ISB, Ajit Rangnekar. CIE also played a pivotal role in its creation, in that the Centre was responsible for drafting the concept note based upon which the entity was founded by the state government in 2016.

Infants can never have a lot of hats. The fact is later or sooner, infants will grow up, which may be the only time to dress up them. Picture perfect moments can snap as they strive various exquisite infant hats on their kids. Apart from raising the cuteness of the baby's with layouts and its distinct comical colors, infant hats may also give added protection to infants that are precious.
Hats with assortments of appearances, shapes, and sizes can be worn anytime, anyplace. For every season of the year, there's an appropriate hat to wear. Summers and springs give rise to the popularity of sun hats, bucket hats and caps which do not give design, but also shield the infant as they keep the harsh sunlight and wind from infants ' head and face. A broad-brimmed hat can be utilized to do babies' sensitive skin against the sunshine. The fall and winter seasons change from the warm summer breeze to cold, bitter gusts of wind will bring distress and health risks to infants. Infants ' heads can be kept dry and warm if they've for covering up hats. Special winter hats' fabric may be made with fleece and they may come with or without ear flaps. Types of winter hats comprise cotton hats and wool hats, among numerous others. Not only are infants healthy and snug kept by these infant hats, but these may also be fit with any of the ensemble to perk up the kid's trend style of the baby's.
You can find also distinctively designed hats accessible for special occasions. A broad collection of colors and drawings can be seen in infant bonnets. Flower prints, polka dots, neon colors, and Stripes are there to identify a number of. Absurd hats can also be up for grabs in the marketplace. Cute and amusing looking elf hats, jester hats, and plenty more fashions can make infants seem more charming and eye-catching. Some have layouts with many other animal ears, bear, panda, and pig.
Even from the beginning, when infants were born in the hospital, they were given a cap in order them to remain comfy and warm. Since that day, an infant hat continues to be an essential part of the clothes of the baby's. When the weather is hot, infant hats can shield them from harmful sun and prickly heat. When the weather is chilly, infant hats help retain heat as a way to keep the infant's little head comfy and warm.
Apart from the requirement of defending infants in the harshness of climate conditions that are altering, infant hats may also be valuable in adding the dash to picture perfect minutes. The head-spinning options in the array of designs and colors available can be utilized in finishing an attention catching ensemble to make a fashion statement for special occasions or the typical pictures. Infant ladies can wear crochet styled hats adorned with decorations that are big or flowers which will definitely give more stares of admiration from individuals. A character can be given by infant hats and improve good looks.
So irrespective of what the season or occasion, there will continually be a prepared hat for infants to wear. Choose note that hats do not just make infants seem great, they also shield against outside elements. Now's the best time to begin accumulating all types of infant hats for those special little ones.

Mission Control Center
The crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis was awakened at 3:04 p.m. CDT to the song "God of Wonders" by the group Caedmon's Call. On this, its third day in space, the five-member crew of Atlantis is focusing on a rendezvous and docking with the International Space Station around 9:53 p.m.
The day's rendezvous operations began at 4:34 p.m. with Atlantis trailing the station by about 250 statute miles and closing the gap by 230 miles every orbit. Yesterday, the crew powered up the shuttle's docking mechanism and installed a centerline camera that will help line up the orbiter's docking mechanism with the station's docking port.
Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition Two crew Commander Yury Usachev and Flight Engineers Jim Voss and Susan Helms awoke at 4 p.m. The Expedition Two crew spent its orbital morning preparing the station for the arrival of Atlantis, and some initial cargo exchanges.
Another successful firing of Atlantis' orbital maneuvering system engines at 6 p.m. refined the shuttle's approach. A final burn, called the Terminal Intercept (Ti) burn, is scheduled for 7:33 p.m. when Atlantis is about 50,000 feet behind the station. After the Ti burn, the shuttle's rendezvous radar system will begin tracking the station and providing range and closing rate information to Commander Steve Lindsey and Pilot Charlie Hobaugh. When Atlantis reaches a point about a half mile below the station, Lindsey will take manual control of the shuttle and slow Atlantis' approach, flying to a point about 600 feet below the station. Mission Specialists Michael Gernhardt, Janet Kavandi and Jim Reilly will assist, operating additional range-finding tools and documenting the approach with an IMAX camera mounted in the cargo bay. Lindsey will trace a quarter-circle around the station, bringing the shuttle to a point a little more than 300 feet in front of the Destiny laboratory and Pressurized Mating Adapter 2. From that point, Lindsey will move Atlantis toward the station at a speed of one tenth of a mile per hour until the two vehicles are just 30 feet apart; there he will pause for a few minutes to check his alignment. Lindsey will gently close the distance until the shuttle's spring-loaded docking mechanism makes contact with the station. The mechanism will be retracted and latches commanded to close, completing the docking process.
After docking, the crews are scheduled to open the hatches between the two vehicles about 11:30 p.m. and greet one another in a brief welcoming ceremony.
The next mission status report will be issued about 6 a.m. Saturday.

Subscribe To Why The Captain Marvel Movie Is Looking Even Better In Retrospect Updates
I've already subscribed
When Marvel Studios announced last month that they are in active development on a Captain Marvel movie, the geek community cheered. The character will be the first female superhero to get her very own solo movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it's an event that fans have been calling for for years. But if you need any further proof that that making the film is a good idea, all you have to do is look at the sales numbers for the current run of Ms. Marvel comics.
Sales numbers have been coming in, and in the comic book world there doesn't seem to be any character hotter than Ms. Marvel. Diamond Comics has posted their list of the top selling graphic novels and trade paperbacks from their distributors in October, and reports that the collected first arc of G. Willow Wilson's recent Ms. Marvel comics was the best selling book of the month. What's more, the New York Times Best Sellers list for paperback graphic novels had the book ranked at number two behind the children's book Sisters from author Raina Telgemeier.
As regular comic book readers know, however, the interesting twist that comes with this story is the fact that the Ms. Marvel featured in this best-selling book isn't the same Ms./Captain Marvel that will be featured in the upcoming 2018 feature film. As was confirmed by Studio President Kevin Feige during Marvel's special presentation last month, the new movie will feature Carol Danvers - the original Ms. Marvel - as the lead character, but G. Willow Wilson's books instead feature the reinvented Ms. Marvel who got her own series beginning this past February. Centering on a Muslim teenager named Kamala Khan (shown above) who is transformed into the new Ms. Marvel, the new books were a critical success, and, as you can tell from the trade paperback's sales, very popular with comic book readers. Regardless of who the person is under the costume, though, what this news tells us is that people are not only ready, but excited to start seeing more stories with female superheroes.
Of course, if readers wanted to start reading current Captain Marvel comics featuring Carol Danvers, that's an option as well. The current run, which began in March and is being written by Kelly sue Deconnick, will be publishing its ninth issue this Wednesday, Digital versions of the available issues are all available for preview and purchase on Marvel's official site.
Back on the movie side, it may be a few years until we start hearing any firm details about the Captain Marvel film - as it is still about four years away - but it's entirely possible that Carol Danvers will be showing up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before that point (with or without her alien-based powers). We're definitely keeping our eyes peeled.

Posted: June 14, 2007
A friend recently asked for advice for a young person graduating from law school. I did my best to provide these thoughts:
This is just the start of your career. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't begin exactly like you thought that it would. When I was a young associate in NY City, I would think to myself, "I took out all of these student loans just to become a lawyer, and now I spend my life working as a lawyer just to pay off my student loans." However, as time passed, and my career blossomed, I became very thankful that I took out (and have now paid off) those student loans.
True, I still spend most of my days in an office or in court (while a few lucky people are enjoying the sun). And admittedly, my dream job was not to be a lawyer (but who really has their dream job). I mean the Los Angeles Dodgers already have a coach, and I don't think that the Dodgers would be considering me even if they needed a new one. I was born to a middle class family and was destined to work my entire life.
So, if I was to live a happy, fulfilling life as a lawyer, I knew that I was the only one who could make that happen for me. In 1997, I started my own law practice and have been in business ever since. I run the office the way that I believe a law office should be run. I make sure that my staff is happy. I am proud of my work. And I couldn't have owned my own office right out of law school. Especially, doing the variety of cases that we handle. All of the work that I did for those large law firms, prepared me for the work that I do in my office in Hawaii.
The moral is that this is just the start of your journey. The job you currently have is not necessarily where you will end up. My journey began in giant law firms in NY and Virginia and, in 22 years, took me to my own office in Hawaii. Attorneys have to find the practice in which they feel most comfortable. Some attorneys like big firms, other like small firms. Some people thrive doing criminal law, while others would be miserable. Each new lawyer must look within herself and decide what she needs in life to be fulfilled, and then go for it.
Above all, strive to be happy. And when you find happy, don't try too hard to improve on happy. In fact, don't mess with happy.

News Hub: Pimco Lost Billions on Lehman Bets
WSJ's Mike Spector has the story of bets placed by Pimco on Lehman Brothers cost the firm more than $3 billion. Photo: NICHOLAS ROBERTS/AFP/Getty Images

Gou ... the euro ... very ... bad before and during two thousand a financial crisis but nothing in Lehman Brothers it wasn't one that Mike Spector and others have the story in today's Wall Street Journal and Mike joins us now ... on set me on my history has already generated controversy what is it you know ... a lot people lost money on Lehman said filly's in such a surprise that can cut it as one thousand person who says that Bill Grannis the co-founder and co also really loves to use Twitter but just to talk about investment strategies ... yes exact words but not wet to dry them so aam looks so you know can co losing money and meaning is necessarily knew everybody lost internal and the what's new is ... the ... Pimco was forced to file a document and the Lehman bankruptcy ... and that literally shows you ... every single trade in a certain box from now basically late nineteen ninety nine and sell March this year while there's ... a lot of trades ... um ... and so what you can see there is you can actually put a number to the Lawson and this was in a mark to market a long time ago right after Lehman failed so it's not like Pimco's realizing losses now we can put a Number two and it looks like the losses are at least three point four billion thing you can really see ... is these are looking into trades these are looking at their biases that on some of the senior bonds in a holding company level for women ... no they're buying more than a billion dollars worth of bonds as Bear Stearns is going in the toilet so there's lots of stuff going on lots of carnage on ... you but you know Bill Kristen and co buying up alot Lehman bonds going on CNBC saying you know ... there's basically under percent probability that Lehman and other banks aren't going to fail I know it can be seen putting his money where his mouth was there to say he was telling people ... we have confidence we stop going to fail I he was backing that up with the we doing in the market again ... I mean you don't get much credit for being very prescient Brian which can credit for at least be ... open and when everybody else that DustBot that when he was going to be just trying to up ... but yet I was at the MIT said that they can really see he conceded the talent just even though he along with a lots of other investors as you know as the market now ... is spiraling downward and no we didn't execute calamity or until the government might mean and go but ... as you know you can see everybody says in retrospect no Bear Stearns is is is creator and ... and ... how could we haven't we not perceive that Helene Intime failure was possible and then you know Bill Gross is right there a lot of people I grew up on ... Parpart that ... exactly and now we have all these records I'm sure this also shows a lot of other firms have been doing and is also shown more about his trading activities aside from ... well done this is just we just have the training ... data on the Lehman bonds so so this is very specific to the winning this one thing we do see from the references that there are distressed debt investors like Paulson John Olsen's hedge fund ... Owl Creek Asset Management others ... who after Lehman failed said ... um and these things are like trading at thirty cents on the dollar and there they went as low as ten o ... six cents or one point you know around Christmas time ... in as everybody's things up because three years from now you know ... it's going to be like a bad recovery but it's up to eighty six cents ... ALM so you know yet folks like John Paulson ... who have pop up pop bought after the family there and they're looking at making hundreds of millions of dollars so on ... as one of my colleagues of SmartMoney


text: Fossils of thumb-sized fish that lived about 385 million years ago hint that the oldest jawed vertebrates copulated and fertilized their eggs internally, pushing back the origins of this form of mating by at least 10 million years and into more primitive groups of these fish than previously known. A new analysis of Microbrachius fossils, which include the most primitive subgroup of vertebrates with jaws, called antiarch placoderms, reveals that some of these armored fish (presumed to be males) have a deeply grooved bone that extends from each side of their pelvis. That feature resembles the "claspers" used by modern-day sharks, skates, and other cartilaginous fish to channel sperm during mating—and, the researchers report online today in Nature, likely served the same purpose in these ancient swimmers. Microbrachius fossils that don't sport the grooved bones, presumed to be females, instead have dermal plates beneath the pelvis; ridges and bumps on the inside of those plates probably helped the females firmly hold the males' organ during side-by-side copulation (artist's representation above). Today's paper also suggests that external fertilization, or spawning, in fish evolved later than internal fertilization—precisely the opposite of what most scientists have long proposed. One big question now is whether even more ancient species within the antiarch placoderms bred in the same way as the fossils described here. If so, that would push back the origins of copulation within the group to 430 million years ago.

ONLY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE GUNS (CONT'D): "Jerome M. Hauer, Gov. Andrew Cuomo's director of homeland security, took out his handgun and used the laser sighting device attached to the barrel as a pointer in a presentation to a foreign delegation, according to public officials. . . . These officials, one of whom claimed to be an eyewitness, said that three Swedish emergency managers in the delegation were rattled when the gun's laser tracked across one of their heads before Hauer found the map of New York, at which he wanted to point. . . . Hauer, commissioner of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, was disabled by a stroke a few years ago and can be unsteady. He isn't a law enforcement official. He carries the loaded 9-millimeter Glock in a holster into state buildings, an apparent violation of state law barring state employees from bringing weapons to the workplace, several witnesses say."

You'll agree that there are numerous effective marketing techniques that we should put effort into. However, it's not practical to use all the strategies to grow our business.
It gets difficult to determine what to leave out and use. Digital signage is one of the marketing trends that many ask about. So let's discuss digital signage and whether it should be part of our marketing efforts.
What is digital signage?
It is the display of content such as video, digital images, streaming media, and other information using LED, LCD, and projection. The screens are placed strategically in areas with high traffic of people to create an impact and reach potential clients.
The key to the success of using this form of marketing is to create attractive displays that quickly catch the attention. Also, place the screens in a strategic location to reach as many people as possible.
It is advisable to have a strategy in place to make the signage work for you. Add new content, incorporate music and engage the users. Remember, the key is to provide information that will spark interest in your product or brand. Having a well-though-out plan will ensure you enjoy the benefits of digital signage which include;
Brand engagement and exposure
The brand gets more exposure making a business stand out from the competition. It plays an important role when there are many companies offering the same product. The reach of potential clients greatly increases if the screens are conveniently located and well-designed to attract attention.
Personalized experience
The use of interactive screens gives users a personalized experience that creates trust and confidence. A good example of a digital signage that allows customer interaction is self-serving kiosks, interactive digital maps, and art. They are more effective and bring a higher return on investment especially if a link is created by the exchange of contact information.
Low costs
Once set up, the cost of maintaining the screens is low compared to other forms of marketing. Furthermore, they run consistently without the need of having a person present. The cost per impression is, therefore, lower and there are numerous energy benefits since they complement other marketing strategies.
With the growing use of digital signage, the prices of the screens and software are decreasing making it more lucrative to use for marketing. The best part is there are various products for all types of budgets.

Operation Of Induction Heating Equipment Should Pay Attention To What The Essentials!
The so-called induction heat treatment equipment refers to the generation of Eddy current electric heating by electromagnetic induction phenomenon, to heat the surface heating. Since this equipment compared to coal-fired boiler and other vintage equipment in unmatched production efficiency, low energy consumption and easy to automate production, energy saving, emissions reduction environment is also affected by a favourable control advantages, it is widely used.
Equipment generates an alternating electromagnetic field frequency, can be divided into the high frequency, medium frequency and power frequency three categories (high frequency frequency 30~500KHz; frequency 1~10KHz; industrial AC power frequency 50Hz). Induction heating equipment used in power supply voltage for 220~380V, but some devices internal voltages up to 10kV.
When using induction heat treatment equipment, must pay attention to high voltage electrical safety and electromagnetic radiation pollution problems. Safe operation of high-frequency induction heating equipment. Induction heating equipment operation be sure to watch the 4 main points:
1, before the work should close all the doors, door installed electrical interlocking devices, ensure the door has not been closed not before transmission. After high pressure closed, should not be to the activity, open the machine door is strictly prohibited.
2, must have more than two people to operate high frequency equipment, and head of operations. Wear insulated footwear, insulated gloves and other protective equipment.
3, the workpiece should be to remove burrs, iron and oil, or heating, easy arc phenomena with the sensors. ARC ARC of light can damage the eye, also easy to break sensors and damage the equipment.
4, the operator must be familiar with the operation of high frequency induction heating equipment, should be checked before starting the equipment cooling system is normal, normal rear transmission, and operate strictly according to the rules.

Lord of the Rings – Gandalf
As explained in The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf spent the years between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings travelling Middle-earth in search of information on Sauron's resurgence and Bilbo's mysterious ring, spurred particularly by Bilbo's initial misleading story of how he had obtained it as a "present" from Gollum. During this period he befriended Aragorn and first became suspicious of Saruman. He spent as much time as he could in the Shire, strengthening his friendship with Bilbo and Frodo, Bilbo's heir.

When you set your children up in politics – especially Illinois politics – there's always a danger they'll get indicted by federal prosecutors and ruin the family name. That's just what Jesse Jackson Jr. went and did. The name "Jesse Jackson" used to represent civil rights activism and philandering. It now represents embezzlement from campaign funds and philandering.
Let's look at some other political brats who have brought shame upon their ancestors:
- REP. DAN ROSTENKOWSKI: Rostenkowski's father, Joe, was alderman and committeeman of the Near Northwest Side's 32nd Ward. He got Danny into the General Assembly at age 24, then sent him to Congress six years later. Danny rose to the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee, but in 1994, he was indicted for ghost payrolling and using federal funds to buy gifts. As a result of Rostenkowski's legal troubles, he not only lost his own, the Democrats lost the House of Representatives, as Republicans campaigned against the corruption he embodied. Danny eventually served 15 months in a federal prison.
- ALD. ISAAC CAROTHERS: Carothers's father, William, was an alderman who was convicted of conspiracy and extortion after trying to shake down a hospital for $15,000 to remodel the ward offices. That wasn't enough to ruin the Carothers name on the West Side, though. Carother was elected alderman of the 29th ward in 1999 – a job he held until he, too, was sent to prison, for trying to extort $40,000 in home remodeling from a developer, in exchange for a zoning change. Don't look for another Alderman Carothers.
- REP. WILLIAM LIPINSKI: Son of Rep. Daniel Lipinski, he's not corrupt, but his only notoriety has been as an answer to "Know Your Goofy-Looking Congressmen," a comedy bit on "The Late Show with David Letterman."
- OTTO KERNER: The son-in-law of assassinated Chicago mayor Anton Cermak was elected governor, but went to prison for taking Arlington Park stock as bribe to site freeway exits near the track.
- GEORGE W. BUSH: He's not an Illinois politician, but he so wore out the public's patience with the Bush family that even his mother is sick of it. Asked whether George's brother should run for president, Barbara Bush said, " We've had enough Bushes.
To be fair, Illinois has had plenty of brats who've served honorably: Secretary of War Robert Todd Lincoln, Gov. Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Adlai Stevenson III, Attorney General Lisa Madigan, and Ald. Edward Burke, to name a few.

WITH SUBSTANTIAL MATERIAL NOT INCLUDED IN THE DOCUMENTARY Academy Award winner Oliver Stone was able to secure what journalists, news organizations, and even other world leaders have long coveted: extended, unprecedented access to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Putin Interviews are culled from more than a dozen interviews with Putin over a two-year span—never before has the Russian leader spoken in such depth or at such length with a Western interviewer. No topics are off limits in the interviews, which first occurred during Stone's trips to meet with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in Moscow and most recently after the election of President Donald Trump. Prodded by Stone, Putin discusses relations between the United States and Russia, allegations of interference in the US election, and Russia's involvement with conflicts in Syria, Ukraine, and elsewhere across the globe. Putin speaks about his rise to power and details his relationships with Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, and Trump. The exchanges are personal, provocative, and at times surreal. At one point, Stone asks, "Why did Russia hack the election?"; at another, Stone introduces him to Stanley Kubrick's 1964 Cold War satire "Dr. Strangelove," which the two watch together. Stone has interviewed controversial world leaders before, including Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and Benjamin Netanyahu. But The Putin Interviews, in its unmediated access to one of the most enigmatic and powerful men in the world, can only be compared to the series of conversations between David Frost and Richard Nixon we now refer to as "The Nixon Interviews" of 1977. The book will also contain references and sources that give readers a deeper understanding of the topics covered in the interviews and make for a more robust reading experience.

Alcoholics Anonymous, or AA for short, is an organization dedicated to helping people quit drinking using their own unique set of methods and teachings.
There are many AA groups spread throughout the world, all arranging regular meetings. These meetings are designed to bring together those who wish to stop drinking alcohol. These meetings give individuals the chance to share with and listen to those who are suffering from the same affliction.

Call 877-322-2694
24/7 Helpline
There are, of course, those who cannot get to meetings for whatever reason. As such, an alternative way for many alcoholics to get together to talk about their problems is through free AA chat rooms.
AA free chat rooms are also a good resource for those wishing to 'sample' AA before actually going to a meeting.
Going to an AA meeting can be intimidating, so AA chat rooms are an ideal environment to test the waters.
The best thing about the chat rooms of AA is the fact that you get to select your own on-screen handle, or nickname. This enables you to remain largely anonymous to the people you interact with unless you decide to reveal your identity.
Alcoholics will hence be able to more comfortably talk about their issues and experiences with this addiction.
There area large number of chat rooms floating around the internet and it does not take much searching to find a list of them.
It is highly recommended for you to try out a free AA chat room to see if you are comfortable with the whole experience.
Some of these require you to download special software but many are simple to use and browser-based.
Try to maintain a proper social etiquette and good manners just as you would in an actual, face-to-face meeting. Do not act out of character and spew insults just because you can hide your true identity.
This is important for you to get to know others better and enjoy the interaction which can be of great benefit to all those taking part.
In addition, if you have never tried chatting online before, it would be useful to accustom yourself with a list of acronyms and lingo commonly used in chat rooms.
With the plethora of acronyms used on the Internet these days, this might sound like a daunting task to a new user.
To make matters worse, certain AA chat rooms also have their own unique lingo which you will only learn after spending some time there. However, bear in mind that you do not need to remember everything.
Just getting to know the popular ones will enable you to chat comfortably through any online or text-based media.
Read AA online meeting and chat room acronyms for a full list of popular AA acronyms.
It is also important for you to remember that AA chat rooms were initially created to replace actual, formal meetings for those unable to attend. Hence, do try to take things seriously when you join the room.
As every chat room is made up of different individuals and people tend to stick to their few preferred rooms, try to seek one that allows you to comfortably fit in.
If a particular free Alcoholic Anonymous chat room seems hostile and makes you feel unwelcome, do remember that you always have the choice of moving on to the next one.
Only by feeling relaxed among a group of people you can relate to can you truly maximize the power of an online AA chat room.

I use this dell machine at work for extended periods and usually have it connected to a 23" external monitor. Every now and then, a wavy flickering pattern appears on the screen and moves rapidly. It makes me dizzy as if I was on a boat at sea X(
It has the Intel Graphics on board and I have the opensource driver installed by default. I don't think any propitiatory driver is available for this chip.
Linux mymachine 3.0.0-16-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 17:44:39 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
This happens, or at least largely visible, on the external monitor. The image on laptop screen appears fine. I am sure the screen is in good working condition, I have double checked by trading my external monitor with a work mate and I can still see the issue on my screen. I only have Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop so I cant confirm that this is not a hardware issue with my motherboard. If there is anything that could help me identify the source of issue (besides loading other OS on it) I would happily give it a shot.
The graphic card is an onboard intel chip:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
Let me know if I can add any more information to the question to help debug this issue.

I've been granted some wonderful days as a writer. Selling my novel Cuckoo (twice), writing for Doctor Who, handing in the first draft of my Hiram Grange novella and knowing it was good. As in all things, those days are counterbalanced by the dour days. Today was one. Today, in a sixty-five minute period, I had two different novels rejected by two different publishers, on two different continents.
Ouch, frankly. Cue shadowy conspiracy theories on a grand scale.
On the other hand, just as I was cursing the fates and demanding that they throw me a fecking bone, they actually did. Ten minutes after rejection number two, our estate agent confirmed the sale of our house.
As my friend Mark pointed out, the moral of the story seems to be that it's better to be a builder. Budding writers be warned.

Problem 2: The Timber Auction, (K Narayan Kumar, CMI)
The GoC Timber Mafia is notorious for its deforestation activities in the forests near Siruseri. These activities have increased multifold after the death of the bandit who used to lord over these jungles. Having lost the battle to prevent the Mafia from illegally felling the teak trees in this forest, the government of Siruseri came up with a novel idea. Why not legalise the deforestation activity and at least make some money in the process? So the Government decided to lease out parts of the forest to the Timber Mafia.
Most of the teak trees in the forests of Siruseri were planted during the colonial times, after the native trees had been cut. Like everything European, the forest is very regular and orderly. It is rectangular in shape and the trees are arranged in uniformly spaced rows and coloumns.
Since the trees differ in height and girth, the timber value differs from tree to tree. The forest department has collected data on each tree and knows the volume of wood (in cubic feet) available in each tree in the forest.
The forest department maintains this information in the form of an M × N array of integers, where the (i,j)th entry is the volume, in cubic feet, of the jth tree on the ith row (or, equivalently, the ith tree on the jth column). We assume that our rows are numbered top to bottom and the columns are numbered from left to right. For example, such an array could look like
This array tells us that the volume of the tree at position (3,4) is 15 cubic feet and so on.
Any rectangular piece of land with trees at each corner can be leased out. In order to fix the lease price for any rectangular plot of the forest the forest department needs to know the amount of wood available inside the plot.
A rectangular plot is described by the positions of the trees in its top left corner and the bottom right corner. For example the positions (2,2) and (3,4) describes the following part rectangular part of the above forest.
The total amount of wood available in this rectangular plot is 76 cubic feet. Similarly (4,2) and (4,2) describes the rectangle with just one tree and its volume is 20 cubic feet.
Your task is to write a program that helps the forest department to compute the total volume of the trees insides any specfied rectangular plot.
Input format
The first line of the input contains two integers M and N indicating the number of rows and columns of trees in the forest. The following M lines have N integers each. The jth integer on line i+1 denotes the volume (in cubic feet) of the jth tree on the ith row. Line M+2 contains a single integer C indicating the number of rectangles for which the total volume is to be computed. Each of the following C lines (line M+2+1 ... M+2+C) each contain four integers x1, y1, x2 and y2 (with x1 ≤ x2 and y1 ≤ y2) and describes a rectangle. The rectangle has its top left corner at the tree in position (x1,y1) and its bottom right corner at the tree at position (x2,y2).
Output format
Your output must contain C lines with one integer on each line. Line i must contain the total volume of wood in the rectangle described on line M+2+i in the input.
Test Data:
You may assume 2 ≤ M ≤ 1000 and 2 ≤ N ≤ 1000. You may also assume that C ≤ 1000000. Further in 30% of the inputs C ≤ 100.
Here are the inputs and outputs corresponding to the example discussed above.
Sample Input
4 4 3 4 15 23 14 20 12 9 3 8 12 15 12 20 7 5 2 2 2 3 4 4 2 4 2
Sample Output
