text: I feel absolutely fabulous at this new age and I thank God I am able to feel this way. Their are a lot of hard decisions that had to be made once I turned the BIG 3-0 and I made a promise to myself that I will always choose happiness no matter what. Peace and happiness are very important as we all get older so that we live long and healthy lives. There's also loads I would like to accomplish and I'm grateful to have already started checking off some things. Excited for the remainder of this new age. :)

Terrorism, the Laws of War, and the Constitution: Debating the Enemy Combatant Cases
Terrorism, the Laws of War, and the Constitution examines three enemy combatant cases that represent the leading edge of U.S. efforts to devise legal rules, consistent with American constitutional principles, for waging the global war on terror. The distinguished contributors analyze the crucial questions these cases raise about the balance between national security and civil liberties in wartime and call for a reexamination of the complex connections between the Constitution and international law.

The PX5000G has two microP2 slots and two standard P2 card slots (Users must select between microP2 and standard P2 card recording), as well as an SD card slot for proxy/metadata recording.
The camcorder will be equipped with Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) to maximize lens performance; Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) function to help compensate for wide variations in lighting; and a highly accurate flash band detection and compensation algorithm that minimizes this effect. The PX5000G delivers seven-mode gamma selection and extensive digital image settings
Its key features include a smart user interface that permits accessibility to the camera's extensive functions from an LCD display on the side of the camera; a 16:9, 3.5-inch, 920,000-dot resolution LCD colour viewfinder, which doubles as a LCD monitor when open; a simplified waveform and vectorscope; a 10-pin remote terminal enabling remote camera operation; and an optional camera studio system.
Standard features include Scan Reverse for use with a cinema lens adaptor; Digital Zoom function for 2x and 4x close-ups; Variable Shutter Speed from 1/12 to 1/2000 sec plus Synchro Scan; and a four-position (CLEAR, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, 1/64 ND) optical neutral density filter wheel. Professional interfaces include MON out (can be set to output HD-SDI), HDMI out, HD/SD-SDI in/out (Optional AG-YA600G HD/SD-SDI Input Board is required), SDI (3G) out, genlock in for multi-camera operation, timecode in/out, USB 3.0 (HOST) and a two-channel UniSlot compatible wireless receiver.

Basic Interview Questions for Machine Learning
By Taha
What questions do Interviewers ask in Machine Learning Engineering placement Interviews?
Interviews are one of the most important parts of a job and that too in a Technical Computer Science Interview. In India, there are a lot of students who are currently aspiring Computer Science Engineering and most of these Students want to stand out on the top when it comes to Placements and other opportunities in their Careers.
However, this is not the end. It merely is just the Starting. Students who are aspiring Jobs with Good Packages should know that they should be prepared for all the elements they are going to face in their Career ahead, and yes, it does include Questions asked in a Machine Learning Placement Interview.
Still, there are a lot of ways by which you can get prepared. The first step includes building a good Resume, actually an outstanding Resume. Make sure you have the Internship Certificates from the best Companies (something which you can get from Verzeo).
Along with that, you might want to make sure that you have a proper Speaking and Listening ability which makes you all ears in front of your Employers. There are a lot of options before you. All you have to do is to identify them.
With this, we would be guided about some of the most asked questions in your CS Interview. If you aren't sure how to respond, don't worry as we have provided you with the most relevant answers to these questions.Are you looking for Programming Internships
So, let's Start:
1. Why do you want to do Internships on Machine Learning with Python?
Machine Learning with Python is one of the most Versatile Courses which Students opt for. Due to its Diversity, it has a lot of Benefits and Spreads across different Fields. The real reason why Students are really interested in this course is that it offers an immense number of opportunities to the students and makes sure to give a lot of chances in fields like Designing and Development.
Our Country is Progressing towards a major change in terms of Technology and that is one of the main reasons why Students are quite inclined towards this Course.
2. What is the difference between Supervised and Unsupervised Machine Learning?
The answer to this is that Supervised Learning needs training labeled data. Suppose for a Classification, you would be needing to label the data which you would use in order to train the model which would classify the data into the labeled groups. However, UnSupervised Learning doesn't need any labeling data explicitly.
3. Just Explain How a ROC Curve Works.
The ROC Curve is a representation (graphical) of the contrast between True Positive Rates and the False Positive Rate as per various Thresholds. It is usually used as a proxy for the trade between the sensitivity of the model versus the fallout.
4. Tell us the difference between the L1 and L2 Regularization.
The L2 Regularization tends to spread the error among all of the terms presents, whilst the L1 reg. It is more sparse with different variables being assigned a 1 or a 0 in weighting. The L1 corresponds to a setting in Laplacean which is before the terms while the L2 corresponds to a Gaussian Prior.Looking for any Certification
5. Among all the Algorithms, what is your Favorite and Explain it in less than a minute.
Such kind of questions test your Knowledge and Understanding of communicating Technical Nuances with Poise and you need to make sure to answer Quickly and Effectively. Always make sure that you have a choice to explain any of the Algorithms Simply and Quickly.
6. What do you understand by Fourier Transform?
Fourier Transform is a very Generic Method that Decomposes Generic Functions into a superposition of the Symmetric Functions. It finds the set of cycle Speed, Amplitudes as well as phases that match any time signal. It also converts a signal from time to the Frequency domain which is a common way to extract the features from Audio Signals.

Sometimes I think "DASH" has some kind of advantage over Bitcoin because it has some rewards not just for the miners, also for the full nodes. Am I correct? Is not this a strength (a prevention) against Sybil attacks?
Does anyone ever thought of any kind of "payback" that could reward the bitcoin full nodes with satoshis trough the lightning network? Maybe just a fraction of the block reward could be distributed to the full node network.
I'm newbie, but the reducing number of full nodes due to the increasing size of the blockchain (or other attacks/technical difficulties) scares me.
Thank you.

My appreciation for Cranberry Relish began the week of Thanksgiving when I was nine. That particular year, my third grade teacher asked each student in our class to bring in a small jar and promised that we'd fill it up with a special Thanksgiving treat for our families. That Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I was beaming from ear to ear when Mama picked me up from school and I got to show off my little jar full of Cranberry Relish. I could hardly wait to see my family's faces when they tasted my delicious contribution to Thanksgiving Dinner (I was certain this stuff was PRETTY FANCY – much different than the ridged kind in the can we usually ate).
I don't remember everything from that Thanksgiving Dinner, but I do remember how proud I was to offer each person at the table a spoonful of "my" Cranberry Relish. I have to applaud Mama, as she made me feel that the little jar of Cranberry Relish I'd brought home from school was as equally important to the meal as the Roasted Turkey she'd spent hours on and the Cornbread Dressing she'd so carefully prepared.
When I think back on that Thanksgiving, I'm reminded that it's the little things we do on holidays (and, in life) that end up being the memories we cherish the most (who knew that I'd be writing about that Cranberry Relish twenty six years later!). And, it makes me think about the kind of parent I want to be – to be like my Mama, and every day remind my children how very much they're loved and valued.
This Thanksgiving, as you're scurrying around trying to get everything "done", remember that each moment is an opportunity to build upon memories and family traditions. You never know what memories or family traditions you'll be creating when you allow your child to help you out in the kitchen with the Cranberry Relish or the Cornbread for the Dressing. Or, maybe it'll be setting the table or handing out pieces of paper for everyone to write down what they're most thankful for. Regardless of what they are, take the time to make the little moments memorable.
Since that Thanksgiving in third grade, one of our family traditions is for me to make the Cranberry Relish each year. Below is my go-to recipe that's super easy to make (hint, child-friendly!) and only requires a few ingredients. . And, don't toss it once the turkey's gone, this Cranberry Relish is also fantastic over a Baked Brie or Goat Cheese with crackers or mixed in with Greek yogurt for a healthy and delicious snack.
So, this Thanksgiving, as you're building traditions with your family, make sure it's a day filled with good food, lots of love, and happy times! Enjoy!
Cranberry Relish
16 ounces fresh cranberries
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
½ cup cranberry juice (NOT cranberry juice cocktail)
½ cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
Combine ingredients in large saucepan. Cook over medium heat (stirring often) about 10 minutes or until cranberries pop open. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 months.

Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm. I Tim 1:5-7
The purpose of this blog today, is those who are confused by the Law. What law are we under? Are we under the ten commandments? What commandments do we follow? I think a good understanding of the law and the covenants are crucial to knowing why we are NOT under the law of Moses.
PLEASE, look up each Scripture. Make it a Bible study. Do not take my word for it. I was blessed to tears reading these Scriptures today, reminded what He has done for us.
But if any one preach the Jewish law unto you, listen not to him. For it is better to hearken to Christian doctrine from a man who has been circumcised, than to Judaism from one uncircumcised. But if either of such persons do not speak concerning Jesus Christ, they are in my judgment but as monuments and sepulchres of the dead, upon which are written only the names of men. Flee therefore the wicked devices and snares of the prince of this world, lest at any time being conquered by his artifices, ye grow weak in your love. *
* ANF01. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus – not recommending, just quoting to show the problem was also prevalent in that day as we see also in Scripture.
- Israel through Moses – Deut 4:7-8, Deut 5:1-3, Deut. 4:7-8; Ps. 147:19-20; Mal. 4:4
- Not made with Abraham – The Lord made NOT this covenant with our fathers, but with us… (Deut 5:2)
- Not made with the Gentiles – Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment. Acts 15:24. ….having NOT the law (Rom 2:14)
NAMES: (This will be important later as you see the fulfillment of Christ dying on the cross and risen again)
• The Law – Matt 22:36 (No one kept the law. John 7:19)
• The Law of the Lord – Luke 2:23-24,27, 39

• The Law at Mt. Sinai (also Horeb) – Gal 4:24
• The Law of Sin and Death – Rom 8:2
• Bondwoman – Gal 4:24
• Hagar – Gal 4:25

• Ministry/ministration of Death (2 Cor 3:7)
• Letters engraved on stones (2 Cor 3:7)
• The Letter (Rom 2:29, Rom 7:6; 2 Cor 3:6)
• Ministry of Condemnation – on stones (2 Cor 3:9)
• Wall of Partition – Eph 2:15
• Handwriting of ordinances against you-Col 2:14-15
O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Rom 7:24
- To show us God's holiness (I Pet 1:15-16, Lev. 11:44-45, 19:2; 20:7)
- To show us God's righteousness (Rom 3:25-26)
- To keep the Jews set apart from others (Lev 11:44-45; Deut 7:6; 14:1-2)
- As a wall of Partition between Jews and Gentiles (Eph 2:15)
- Appoint Feasts and times for worship for Israel (Lev 23)
- To show us we fall short of His glory, and cannot approach Him (Ps 24:3-5)
- Temporarily forgave sin, enabled fellowship with God.(Lev 1-7)
- Kept under guard for the faith, afterward to be revealed. (Gal 3:24)
- Schoolmaster to bring us to Christ (Gal 3:24)
- To give us knowledge of sin (Rom 3:20; 5:20; 7:7, 24-25; Gal 2:19)
- Added because of Sin UNTIL the Seed (Jesus) WOULD COME. (Gal 3:16-19)
- Guilt– Stop our mouths (Rom 3:19)
- Causes us to sin more. This one as one person put it, is strange but true. (Rom 4:15; 5:20, 7:7) Makes us terribly aware of our own sinful state. How merciful God is to show our great need for Him, and His great love for us.
Christ came why?
To FULFILL the law. Matt 5:17 (The very same verse Judaizers will use to compel us to keep the law, saying that He did not come to destroy the law.) No, He came to fulfill the law. It is done. It is finished.
- Road to Emmaus shows fulfillment of the Mosaic Law – Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me." Luke 24:44
- End of the Law – (Romans 10:3-4)
- Law NOT made for the Righteous: Knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person..1 Tim 1:9a
- No longer under the law (Rom 6:15)
- Cast out the bondwoman (Gal 4:23-25, 30)
- Took away the first, so He can establish the second. Heb 10:9
- Dead to the law by the body of Christ (Rom 7:4)
- Set free from the law (Rom 8:2)
- Wall of partition was broken down at Christ's death. (Eph 2:15)
- Law was until John the Baptist. (Matt 11:13, Luke 16:16)
- Nailed to the cross (handwriting of ordinances, Col 2:14-15)
- Law Done away with (The Letter – 2 Cor 3:11)
- Redeemed from under the law, adopted as Sons, when Christ came (Gal 4:4-5)
- Disciples were ministers of the new covenant NOT of The Letter. (2 Cor 3:6)
- A change of Law, no more Levite Priests.
- Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. Heb 7:12-13
- Final Sacrifice once for all – Heb 9:12
- Last Word – He was the fulfillment and the last word. (Heb 1:1-2)
- New Covenant
- Once Christ came, the Mediator of the more excellent ministry established on better promises (Heb 8:6)
- End of the Law – (Romans 10:3-4)
- Road to Emmaus shows fulfillment of the Mosaic Law – Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me." Luke 24:44
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Heb 8:13
The Power of God and the wisdom of God is in the gospel. (Rom 1:16-17; I Cor 1:17-18,24)
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Acts 13:39
In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. Heb 8:13 (see also Jer 31:31-34)
The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, the Law of Christ. (Rom 8:2, Gal 6:2)
- Does not come by the law. (Gal 2:21)
- Is only by His free gift, never the law, (Rom 4-5) through faith in Him. (Phil 3:9, Rom 3:22)
- Does not come by the law. (Rom 3:20; Gal 2:16; Gal 3:11)
- Is only by faith. (Rom 3:28; Gal 2:16; Gal 3:11, 24)
- By the law was temporary.
- Does come by faith in Christ and is permanent. (Acts 20:32; I Cor 1:2; Heb 10:14)
And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. I Cor 6:11
Who became for us:
Wisdom from God
All glory to God! (pp 1 Cor 1:29-31)
Comes by the Blood of Christ
Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. Heb 13:12
Comes by the Holy Spirit and belief in the truth (Rom 15:16; 2 Thess 2:13; I Pet 1:2)
Is by the Word (Eph 5:26; John 17:17)
Comes by the Father who preserves us in Jesus Christ, and He is able to keep us from stumbling and present us faultless, we are kept by HIS POWER. (see Jude 1,24; 1 Pet 1:5, 2 Tim 1:12).
Before God is FOREVER: By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Heb 10:14
Ask yourselves, are you doing it to be made right?
Because you think it commends you to God?
Because you think the commandments are still in effect?
To be justified?
Because you "really love Him"?
Do you travel to Jerusalem to keep the appointed feasts?
How many of the laws do you fall short in?
If you are doing it for any of the above reasons, you have fallen from grace.
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Gal 5:4
Ask yourselves, did Peter, who was the apostle to the Jews, preach the law?
The Righteousness of God is APART from the law. Rom 3:21-22
Can someone follow certain portions of the law? Keep a feast? What if it bothers a Jewish believer to eat pork? Or another believer to eat something that he doesn't know if it was strangled or even mistreated? What if like Paul, he had taken a vow and he kept it and shaved his head?
What if the child of an alcoholic, does not want others to drink wine around them? Or they have come to believe a holiday is pagan and they just feel odd about participating?
These are all matters of conscience, and as long as they do not do it to contribute to their own righteousness, justification, or salvation, OR compel others in any manner to keep the law, then they are free to do what their conscience can handle.
But… remember, BOTH SIDES, do not make the other stumble for the sake of food. Food does not commend us to God, nor Sabbaths, nor Holy days, nor days celebrated nor days not celebrated. (Read Rom 14, Col 2, 1 Cor 10:12-31, Especially read Galatians carefully). You can certainly consider 1 Cor 9:19-22, Paul was all things to men so he might save some.
If any try to live by the law, be justified by the law, they under a curse, for they need to continue in ALL things (not possible) that are written in the law (Gal 3). If you are trying to compel people to live under the law, you are in the wrong.
Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Acts 15:10

Record heat!
According to the Environment Canada website, yesterday's temperature topped out at 36.3°C at the airport. That's just shy of normal body temperature. It was certainly a record for the day, and, based on a Google search, it was an all-time record, the previous record being 35.3°C (96°F) on July 23, 2004. Fool that I was, I did not go kayaking. I will know next time. The alternative is developing a taste for recreational shopping: some of the malls are air-conditioned.

By Helen Lee
People often make the assumption that individuals in the developed world do not experience hunger. If developed countries have the monetary means to become the richest in the world, they should have the means to pay for the most basic of human needs, right? Wrong. Recent findings show that developed countries, such as Britain, have encountered deficiencies in addressing poverty-related hunger.1 With recent economic setbacks, even the seventh richest country in the world cannot guarantee food, clothes, and shelter for all of its citizens.2Hunger is a global health issue, but it is often associated with certain parts of Central America, South America, Africa, and Asia, as highlighted by the 2012 world hunger map.3 Britain ranks very low on this hunger map, so imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon Peter Butler's article in the Guardian, titled "Food poverty 'puts UK's international human rights obligations in danger'." As Silver and Lone point out in another related article, we must acknowledge the fact that there are poor people in every society.4 This means that there are individuals in every country, even developed countries, who suffer from hunger pangs. However, that is not my major cause for concern. What troubles me is the drastic increase in a developed country's hunger rate, and its effects on the people within it.5
How did we arrive at this point in time, when human rights are threatened because of a lack of food, and in a developed country no less? If Britain has the means to support itself, how is it possible that people are starving at one end of the spectrum? I find it shocking that this problem made it so far down the road. You would think that the government would have addressed this problem sooner, as people have realized the implications of food price spikes on food security in the UK since 2008.6 With the warning calls for Britain to review its human rights obligations to the poor, this problem has taken one step too far in the wrong direction. If the basic rights of people cannot be protected, what else can be guaranteed?
Alongside this article on poverty-related hunger, an article on obesity was published in the Guardian on the very same day. It is interesting how one article talks about the major issue of hunger in Britain, while the other talks about the severity of obesity in Britain. On the one hand, Britain is worried about not violating human rights with regards to hunger, and on the other, it is saying that obesity is the "greatest public health crisis in the UK."7 It is just surprising that there are such drastic differences between two ends of the spectrum in just one country. Should Britain focus more on the people who do not have enough to eat, or on those who have too much to eat? It seems to me that they are both equally worthy of being deemed public health crises, and both should be addressed immediately.
I encourage everyone to read and learn more about these issues. It often slips my mind that problems at the "local" level can quickly become large-scale problems, such as the cases of hunger and obesity within the UK. Just because a country is not colored red on a world hunger map, it does not mean that food security problems do not exist. Problems can arise quickly and can spread just as fast. In order to stop problems in their tracks, people must make the right changes in the fastest and most efficient way. Reading this article has changed my perspective on certain things; I realize now that some health problems are directly associated with political and social changes. In order to combat hunger, governments must take an active role to ensure people do not fall victim to further food shortages. Even developed countries are vulnerable to issues such as hunger, and are in need of well-crafted reforms in the people's favor. We must also keep in mind that this not only affects the UK, but other developed countries as well. There are families and children in the US and in Canada who are facing similar problems, as highlighted by Obama's struggle to eliminate childhood hunger in the US.8

Improve Your Memory & Exercise Your Brain
Boost Your Mind & Workout Your Head
Everybody is able to take the appropriate steps to boost their particular mind, in accordance with some time and engage in the majority of people can build the opportunity to remember relatively difficult quantities of records. You put your keys, this article can get you started whether you want to win the World Memory Championships, ace your history test, or simply remember where. Boffins genuinely believe that workouts your head can produce a reserve that is cognitive will help you to remain razor-sharp when you years.
1. you do have a good memory that will improve convince yourself that. As well people that are many trapped right here and encourage on their own that their particular mind was terrible, they are not close with labels, that data merely ease from their brains for reasons uknown. Erase those head and promise to boost your own mind. Agree you to ultimately the work and bask in your accomplishment the difficult to hold driven down every time you make a little bit of progress if you beat yourself.
2. Keep the mind dynamic. Mental performance is certainly not a strength, but frequently workouts mental performance really really does ensure that it it is raising and spurs the introduction of brand-new neurological relationships that can assist enhance mind. By establishing brand-new emotional skillsespecially complex types for example finding out a unique code or teaching themselves to bring a unique music instrumentand frustrating puzzles and games to yourr brain you could well keep your head effective and boost the biological operation.
3. physical exercise daily. Traditional cardiovascular exercise gets better blood supply and results in the system, like for the head, and certainly will help ward the memory loss off that include aging. Fitness furthermore allows you to extra alert and calm, and certainly will thus increase mind use, enabling you to get much better pictures that are mental.
4. Lower worry. Constant tension, though it will not literally spoil mental performance, make recalling way more tough. Actually stresses that are temporary create tougher to properly concentrate on ideas and notice situations. Just be sure to relax, frequently exercise yoga and other stretches, and watch a health care professional when you yourself have serious stress that is chronic.
5. consume really and devour correct. There is a large number of herbs available on the market which claim to boost mind, but nothing need but demonstrated an ability to work in scientific studies (although lightweight research indicates some results that are promising ginkgo biloba and phosphatidylserine). A healthy diet plan, but, plays a part in a wholesome head, and food items that contain antioxidantsbroccoli, blueberries, oatmeal, and fruits, for exampleand Omega-3 efas appear promoting brain functioning that is healthy. Feed such supplements to your brain as Thiamine, vitamin e antioxidant, Niacin and nutritional B-6. Grazing, ingesting 5 or 6 smaller sized meals the whole day in the place of 3 huge foods, furthermore generally seems to enhance functioning that is mentallike memory) by restricting dips in blood sugar levels, which could adversely change the head.
6. get much better photographs. Typically we ignore options maybe not because our very own mind was terrible, but alternatively because our very own skills that are observational perform. One situation that is common this happens (and which everyone can connect with) was satisfying new-people. Typically we do not truly discover individuals labels to start with because we arent truly centering on recalling all of them. Youll find if one makes a effort that is conscious recall similar things, youll perform definitely better. The easiest way to prepare you to ultimately be much more observant is always to see an photograph that is unfamiliar a few mere seconds right after which rotate the image over and explain or record as numerous info as possible regarding the image. Sample shutting your own sight and imagining the pic in mind. Need a photograph that is new times your test this fitness, in accordance with routine training you'll find you are ready to keep in mind more information with actually smaller glimpses in the photo.
7. promote yourself for you personally to means a mind. Recollections are sensitive for the brief, and disruptions will make you easily ignore simple things like an unknown number. The secret to abstain from dropping recollections them is to be able to focus on the thing to be remembered for a while without thinking about other things, so when youre trying to remember something, avoid distractions and complicated tasks for a few minutes before you can even form.
8. generate stunning, remarkable artwork. Your recall records more quickly if you're able to see they. When you need to link a young child with a manuscript, don't see the little one checking out the publication thats as well easy and forgettable. Rather, produce things extra jarring, something sticks, such as the written publication going after the little one, or perhaps the youngsters ingesting the publication. Their your thoughts make artwork as emotional and shocking as it can keeping the interaction stronger.
9. Repeat things should find out. The greater number of era you listen to, discover, or remember some thing, the greater number of remember that is surely youll, correct? Its a no-brainer. It your new coworkers name or your best friends birthday, repeat it, either out loud or silently when you want to remember something, be. Sample creating they all the way down; consider this.
10. team items you want to recall. Random databases of options (a grocery list, eg) tends to be specifically tough to recall. To really make it much easier, test categorizing the things that are individual record. You wanted to buy four different kinds of vegetables, youll find it easier to remember all four if you can remember that, among other things.
11. Organize your lifetime. Hold things that your generally wanted, for example tactics and glasses, for the place that is same times. Need an organizer that is electronic everyday coordinator to keep up with of visits, repayment dates for debts, and various other activities. Hold telephone numbers and details in an address publication or submit all of them to your cell or computer telephone. Increased business often helps relieve your powers up of quantity so you can recall considerably program circumstances. In the event being prepared doesnt develop your own memory space, youll obtain a whole lot in the benefits that are samei.e. you wont need certainly to research your own tactics any longer).
12. sample reflection. Study today implies that individuals who frequently engage in mindfulness reflection have the ability to concentrate much better and may also need much better recollections. Mindfulness (often referred to as insight or awareness reflection) will be the sort typically used in american region and is also very easy to discover. Reports at Massachusetts standard medical facility demonstrate that routine reflection thickens the cortex that is cerebral mental performance by raising the circulation of blood to this part. Some professionals feel this will probably improve focus duration, focus, and mind.
13. have enough sleep. The number of rest we become has an effect on the mind capacity to remember lately read records. Obtaining a great evenings sleeping at the very minimum seven time every night may increase brief mind and long-lasting memory that is relational relating to previous reports executed from the Harvard hospital class.
14. create your memorization toolbox. Discover pegs, mind palaces, in addition to Dominic program. The foundation is formed by these techniques for mnemonic method, and certainly will visibly increase mind.
15. head out and study from your own blunders. Go right ahead and get a stab at memorizing the most important a hundred digits of pi, or, if youve accomplished that already, the most important a thousand. Learn the monarchs of The united kingdomt via your mind palaces, or your own food checklist through visualization. Through thorough efforts you will definitely master the art eventually of memorization.

Part I: Budweis, Czech Republic
In 1950, five years after the Soviets occupied Czechoslovakia, the 17th century Redemptorist cloister in Ceské Budjovice (Budweis) closed. Priests and brothers were imprisoned or forced into secular labor. The Redemptorists returned in the 1990s and re-opened the Church of the Blessed Virgin's Sacrifice. It's adjacent to the school St. John Neumann attended as a boy, and he likely assisted at daily Mass, according to our Redemptorist guide.
However, the pews mostly are empty here and at other churches. Three generations of young Czechs (Bohemians and Moravians) have been raised outside of the Faith. Today, the Czech Republic has one of the highest populations of self-professed atheists — roughly 40 percent.
I find this such a tragedy — particularly because Bohemia was my father's ancestral homeland. But on this pilgrimage, the irony is inescapable: Young John Nepomucene Neumann, named after a Bohemian martyr, could not be ordained at the nearby Cathedral of St. Nicholas because of a overabundance of priests. There were no church posts available.
He traveled to the United States to bring Christianity to the Indians and to the German and Irish immigrants who had been so long without the sacraments that they were in danger of losing their faith. Within four weeks of his 1836 arrival in New York, Neumann was ordained and given his first assignment.
Today, despite the shortage of priests in the States, the demand for missionary work is far greater in the land of Neumann's birth.
This town is only 120 miles from Vienna. So much of the landscape looks familiar — with one significant difference: vast fields and few farmhouses in sight. Germany and Austria had clearly marked boundaries between separately cultivated plots of land. The vacant feel here is undoubtedly a holdover from the days of socialization when private property was nationalized and farmers became commune workers on what may previously have been their own property.
Blooming at this point is rapeseed, which is grown to produce diesel fuel. The effect, in some areas, is a bright-yellow ocean as far as the eye can see.
We noted two active nuclear power plants in the distance (Germany has shut its plants and turned to alternative energy sources). Southern Bohemia also boasts a number of solar-panel farms, one as large as a football field. But we have not yet spotted the mammoth wind turbines that rose above fields in Bavaria.
To our surprise, there are a number of roadside shrines, mostly at the crossroads of country lanes — crucifixes on pedestals or images of the Madonna and Child.
eské Budjovice boasts a handsome collection of Renaissance-era houses, thanks to rebuilding after a 1641 fire.
The site of Neumann's early schooling now includes a bicentennial year display. Upon request, our Redemptorist guide also led us down several streets to the site of the Budweis diocesan seminary Neumann attended.
We celebrated Mass at the cathedral. "Each of us has a vocation," Monsignor Bastress reminded us. "We're called to lead … our role is to pray, our role is to lead and to preach the word of the life."
Neumann understood this call to lead. He became the first professed Redemptorist in America and, five years later, the first superior of the North American Redemptorists. He mastered a total of nine languages (Bohemian, German, French, English, Spanish, Italian, enough Gaelic to hear confessions, and he could read Latin and Greek), in order to serve the melting pot of peoples in America. Named bishop of Philadelphia in 1852, he established 25 new parochial schools and 80 new churches in the eight years before his death.
Msgr. Bastress exacted a promise from us. When we return home, we're not to just kiss our loved ones. "Bless them in the name of the Lord," he said. "So they will know you've received a special grace."
Coming next: Our stop in Prachatice, Neumann's birthplace.
Until later,
Martha Fitzgerald is from Shreveport, LA, and will be blogging her experiences during the pilgrimage.

- nocturia associated with multiple sclerosis where other treatments have failed.
A single dose of Minirin® nasal spray can also be used as a diagnostic test to establish if the kidneys are able to concentrate urine.
Although Minirin® nasal spray aids in decreasing urine overproduction, it does not cure the aforementioned diseases.
MOA (mechanism of action):
DDAVP is a potent antidiuretic which may lead to water intoxication and/or hyponatremia. It emulates the action of vasopressin, a natural antidiuretic hormone. Desmopressin is also a strong vasopressin receptor 2 (V2 receptor) agonist, therefore it has an effect on the mechanisms of urine concentration and maintenance of water homeostasis in the body. Namely, it increases water permeability in renal tubular cells, thereby inhibiting urine overproduction and increasing its concentration. In addition to its antidiuretic properties, Desmopressin also has vasoconstricting activity.
Minirin® nasal spray should be sprayed into nostrils.
The nasal spray pump can only deliver doses of 0.1 mL (10 micrograms) or multiples of 0.1 mL. If doses other than these are required, the rhinal tube delivery system may be used.
Nocturnal enuresis (bed-wetting):
Start with diffusing 1 spray (10 micrograms) into each nostril daily at bedtime. Over time, your doctor will adjust your dose depending on your response and severity of condition. The daily dose should be divided in 2-3 doses. Use the spray for up to 3 months.
The average recommended dose for children aged 3 months to 12 years varies from 5 to 30 micrograms daily.
The dose for adults and children over 12 usually varies from 10 to 40 micrograms daily.
Avoid drinking fluids 1 hour before and 8 hours after using Minirin® nasal spray. You can drink no more than a few sips of water during this period.
The maximum dose is two sprays into each nostril (40 micrograms).
Cranial diabetes insipidus:
The dosage, as well as the course duration, must be determined by a doctor for each individual patient.
For adults the daily dose usually varies up four sprays (40 micrograms).
For children the daily dose usually varies up to two sprays (20 micrograms).
How to use Minirin® nasal spray:
1. Remove protective cap from the bottle.
2. The spray pump must be primed prior to the first use. To prime pump, press it down 4 times.
3. Once primed, the spray pump delivers 10 micrograms of medication each time it is pressed. To ensure dosing accuracy, tilt bottle so that dip tube inside the bottle draws from the deepest portion of the medication. To administer a 10-microgram dose, place the spray nozzle in nostril and press the spray pump once. If a higher dose has been prescribed, spray half the dose in each nostril. The spray pump cannot be used for doses less than 10 micrograms or doses other than multiples of 10 micrograms.
4. Replace the protective cap on the bottle after use. The pump will stay primed for up to one week. If the product has not been used for a period of one week, re-prime the pump by pressing once.
5. Any solution remaining after 25 doses should be discarded since the amount delivered thereafter may be substantially less than 10 mcg of drug. Do not transfer any remaining solution to another bottle.
Before using Minirin® nasal spray alcohol abuse should be excluded.
Minirin® nasal spray is not for injection.
Minirin® nasal spray is for intranasal use only. Do not get it into your eyes, mouth, ears and other parts of the body.
Minirin® nasal spray should only be used in patients where orally administered formulations are not feasible.
Minirin® nasal spray should be used with caution in patients with habitual or psychogenic polydipsia (resulting in urine production exceeding 40mg/kg/24hours) who may be more likely to drink excessive amounts of water, putting them at greater risk of hyponatremia.
Avoid excessive fluid intake during the Minirin® nasal spray treatment course as this may lead to a build-up of water in your body.
Missing a dose
If you miss a dose you should take it as soon as you remember about your missing. If it is time for the next dose you should continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose.
Do not exceed the doctor's recommended dose. The symptoms of Minirin® nasal spray overdose may include confusion, drowsiness, continuing headache, nausea or vomiting, rapid weight gain, and convulsions in severe cases. If any of these occurs and you are feeling unwell, you should seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Store at a room temperature from 20 to 25 degrees C (68 to 77 degrees F) away from moisture and heat. Throw away the tube after the expiration date. Keep away from children.

Nineteen to the Dozen: Monologues and Bits and Bobs of Other Things
Nineteen to the Dozen: Monologues and Bits and Bobs of Other Things
This book epitomizes his ability to evoke the voices of Yiddish speakers. In each of these monologues written between 1901 and 1916, a man or woman comes forward to tell the story. The implied listeners -- a rabbi, a doctor, or the author himself -- say virtually nothing. Aleichem pretends to have has transcribed these private performances for the reader's benefit.
Five women and seven men tell their own tales. They are rich and poor, educated and ignorant. These narratives provide a unique portrayal of Eastern European Jewish society, and they go a long way toward demystifying the shtetl, which has too often been the object of undue nostalgia.

Antique Coins Earrings Replica
per item
Since antiquity, coins have always been used to make jewellery. I was inspired by the great jewellery designer Bulgari and had some replica ancient coins made in order to use them for various creations.
Replicas being a lot lighter in weight than real coins, I set them on a Vermeil frame in a sunshine shape.
I carefully make a matching pair yet irregularities and slight differences are the signature of handmade jewellery.
My pieces are set on gold plated sterling silver. This is called vermeil.
These particular ones are 3,5cm long.
They are dangly and very light on the ear.
This is a unique piece. What you see is what you get.
They come in a lovely organza pouch.

Pevsner Ring Series
These ring designs were developed and then launched at the Goldsmiths Fair 2004. I designed the first one as a commission for Mr. Pevsner. See 'Commissions 2005'. The rings focus on celebrating large beautiful stones. I wanted to avoid the traditional claw settings and used buttresses as a means of supporting a light gold frame setting. In some rings, the buttresses have become a decorative design feature in their own right as well as a structural element. They can be delicately tapering posts or flying buttresses, the stone dictating the final choice. This series is continuing to evolve.

TRENTON — The mayor of New Jersey's struggling capital city was convicted of bribery, fraud and extortion on Friday, joining a long list of the state's mayors to have been found guilty of corruption in recent years.
A federal jury found that the mayor of Trenton, Tony F. Mack, and his brother, Ralphiel, had participated in a scheme to take money in exchange for helping get approvals to develop a downtown parking garage. The deal was fictitious and part of a government investigation.
The mayor, a Democrat, was convicted of official extortion conspiracy, attempted extortion, accepting bribes, mail fraud and wire fraud. Ralphiel Mack was convicted on the extortion and bribery counts but acquitted on the others.
The jury deliberated for one full day before reaching its verdict.
Jurors rejected the mayor's defense that he was unaware of the nature of the building project and had never accepted any bribes. Neither defendant testified during the trial.
Mr. Mack has remained in office since his arrest more than two years ago. Since 2000, mayors of the New Jersey communities of Asbury Park, Camden, Hamilton, Hoboken, Newark, Orange, Passaic, Paterson and Perth Amboy, among others, have been convicted or have pleaded guilty in corruption cases.
In Mr. Mack's case, prosecutors portrayed the mayor as an eager participant in the bribery scheme. They said he agreed to sell city-owned property assessed for well over $200,000 for just $100,000 in exchange for bribes.
The authorities said that $54,000 was passed to Joseph A. Giorgianni — a Trenton restaurant owner and political deal maker known as Jo-Jo, who pleaded guilty in the case last year — in 2011 and 2012 and that an additional $65,000 was agreed on. He was to pass the money to the mayor, authorities said.
