That's the only way we can describe Oprah's interview with Beyonce. The legendary host held nothing back and she got all up in Beyonce's business, asking her all the questions we want to know.
In this teaser clip for the interview, which airs Saturday, Beyoncé talks to Oprah about her daughter Blue Ivy, what Jay-Z is like as a father and as a husband, letting her father (music executive Mathew Knowles) go as her manager, her heartbreaking miscarriage, and what's next for her career and her life.
Basically everything you ever wished to know about Beyonce.
If you can't wait for Beyonce's interview, she sat down with Oprah again at the screening for her HBO Documentary Life Is But A Dream, and Beyonce said, "OMG. What did I do."
Beyonce also talked to E! and spoke about how she's following in friend Gwyneth Paltrow's footsteps and plans to keep her daughter Blue Ivy Carter sheltered in order to allow her to have a childhood.
Beyonce said:
"She is incredible," the "Love on Top" singer told E! News of Paltrow, 40. "She's a great friend on every level. I think for us, protecting our daughters is so important and … keeping things on our own terms, so I will still be protective and make sure [Blue Ivy] has a childhood and a great time."
We love this new open Beyonce – and while we respect Bey's parenting skills, we still can't wait to get a little peek at Blue when Bey's documentary airs THIS Saturday at 9pm on HBO.
Plus you can catch Oprah's interview with the King right before at 8pm on the OWN Network.

ITunes attracts crowds / Listeners download 70 million songs during its first year
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, April 29, 2004
Music fans downloaded 70 million songs from Apple Computer's iTunes Music Store in its first year, and the service is on pace to double that number during the next year, chief executive Steve Jobs said Wednesday.
The number of music downloads, which cost 99 cents per song, fell short of Jobs' bold expectations of 100 million in the first year.
Still, the co-founder of the Cupertino firm was upbeat, saying the number exceeds the company's "wildest expectations." He later added that the music store made a small profit last quarter for the first time.
"A year ago, if anyone had said (we would have) 70 million downloads ... you would have been laughed out of town," Jobs said in a conference call to mark the online music service's first anniversary.
The total includes 5 million free downloads from a Pepsi promotion that promised to give away 100 million songs.
Josh Bernoff, an analyst at market research firm Forrester Research, said the promotion didn't live up to its promise because Pepsi couldn't deliver all of the soda bottles that had caps with the download codes to stores in time.
On Wednesday, Apple also released a new version of the iTunes music jukebox software that adds functions such as allowing users to post their own playlists for others to see. Customers can also print inserts for CD jewel cases and watch music videos.
Apple also increased the number of computers that iTunes songs can be loaded onto from three to five. However, it reduced the number of times users can copy a single playlist from 10 CDs to seven. That reduction was the result of pressure from music labels, Jobs said.
"It's hard to imagine why an honest individual would make even seven copies of their playlists," he said.
The new iTunes software, which is a free download, can also convert songs that are in Microsoft's WMA file format to Apple's AAC format.
"It's a poke in the eye on Microsoft," Bernoff said.
Jobs continued to balk at the idea of offering a subscription service in which users pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited access to music. He said it's not a viable business model because consumers want to own music, not rent it.
However, RealNetworks Inc., which has such a subscription service, refuted Jobs' contention in a statement Wednesday. The Seattle Internet media company referred to a report last week that it has 450,000 subscribers to its online music services Rhapsody and RadioPass.
RealNetworks also reported $12.3 million in revenue from digital music, which includes sales from Rhapsody and RealPlayer Music Store, a 55 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2003.
Nevertheless, analyst Bernoff said it's difficult to ignore Apple's success with its combination of iTunes and iPod, its popular portable digital music player.
Before iTunes, "what we had was a bunch of pathetically unusable music download services. Now we've got on the order of 80 or 90 million dollars of music that's paid for, and the majority of it is going to Apple," he said.

— "Duff Man! Can't breathe! Oh, no!"
— "That's a mug you don't want to chug!"
— "This brown spot needs a little H2-oh, yeah!"
— "Duff Man… says a lot of things! Oh, yeah!"
— "New feelings… brewing in Duff Man! What would… Jesus do?"
— "Yeah that's swell, Duff wholeheartedly supports the designated driver program. Now! Who wants to Party!"
— Duff Man: "Duff beer is brewed from hops, barley, and sparkling clear mountain what?" Titanya: "Goat!" Duff Man: "Close enough!"
- For every beer drinking Simpson fan this should be a must in your family cupboard. Even your youngest of kids will enjoy the wonderfulness of the Duff Beer…glass.

Football: St. Ignatius pounded by Granite Bay in NorCal championship game
By Jeremy Balan
SACRAMENTO – A week after being crowned as the best team in the Central Coast Section, the St. Ignatius football team quickly faced a harsh reality on Friday night.
It is not one of the best teams in Northern California.
In its first appearance beyond CCS play in school history, the Wildcats were humbled in a 45-17 loss to Granite Bay in the Northern California Division I regional championship game at Sacramento State University.

How to Maintain your Lifejacket
1. Storage
Never put your life jacket away damp. Open it out, rinse off any salt in fresh water (if it is auto-inflating, make sure you remove the auto-bobbin first!). Allow the jacket to air dry, then re-fit the bobbin and repack it.
Out of season, the life jacket should be partially inflated to remove any creases in the material, and stored on a non-metal coat hanger.
2. Check the gas cylinder
The screws in CO2 cylinders in life jackets can work themselves loose and should be checked for tightness every month. Check manufacturer's expiry dates on cylinders and bobbins and replace as recommended.
3. Carry a re-arming kit
Always carry re-arming kits for each type of jacket you have on board. If a life jacket is accidentally inflated, you will be able to get it ready for use again straight away.
4. Check for corrosion
Check the CO2 bottle for corrosion every 3 months. Rusty cylinders should be replaced and not used. Also check any areas of material that were in contact with the rusty cylinder as the fabric may have been damaged.
5. Check the webbing
Check the webbing every 3 months and the stitching that holds the webbing together. A life jacket with a coloured thread that strongly contrasts with the webbing makes it much easier to spot worn stitching. Also check zips, buckles and other fastenings.
6. Check for Leaks
Every six months inflate the life jacket manually with a hand pump. Using a hand pump will avoid moisture build-up inside the life jacket. Leave it inflated for 24 hours to ensure there are no leaks or damage. Repack the jacket according to the manufacturers folding instructions.

The Joe Andruzzi Foundation Story
Jen and Joe Andruzzi were active locally during Joe's football career with the New England Patriots including many visits to patients to lift their spirits. Within the community, they met a young man named C.J. Buckley who only a month prior had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. CJ touched their hearts in an unusual way, and he and his family became extended family members to the Andruzzis. His passing left a hole in their hearts. In 2003, the Andruzzis started the C.J. Buckley Brain Cancer Research Fund at Boston Children's Hospital years before battling cancer became personal.
On May 30, 2007, Joe was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Burkitt's lymphoma, predicted to double in size within 24 hours. He had an aggressive chemotherapy treatment over several months both at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Joe fought the disease with strength and courage helped by the support of his own family, the Buckley family, friends, doctors and nurses by his side. Thankfully, Joe was told that there was no sign of cancer in his body by the fall of 2007 and remains cured today.
The Andruzzis clearly recognized their new goal and on May 22, 2008 founded the Joe Andruzzi Foundation. They are committed to raising funds that help cancer patients and their families with utility payments. Your generous support makes a real difference during a difficult time. Additionally, the Joe Andruzzi Foundation funds pediatric brain cancer research in memory of C.J. Buckley.
"I know first-hand how much your daily routine changes during and following cancer treatment," said Joe Andruzzi. "Please team up with me in helping others."
"We fought the toughest fight of our lives and are grateful that Joe is living cancer free," said Jen Andruzzi.

Cleaning Spain's Troubled Banks
Remember all the confusion about whether the Spanish government would still have to take final liability for losses on the recapitalization of its banks – even once the euro zone has empowered its new bailout fund to prop up failing lenders "directly"?
The European Union's economic-affairs commissioner, the head of the current and future bailout funds, and the chairman of the group of finance ministry officials who work out the technical details to euro rescues said no. The German finance minister said presumably yes, and Germany's chancellor said the issue hadn't yet been decided.
Looking at the current technical set-up of the Spanish bailout – this is now, when the European Financial Stability Facility rescue money is still going first to the Spanish government before being funneled into the banks – all of them may be right.

Viewing Distance to Get an Optimal Representation of the Perforated Pattern
To design a better perforated pattern and to make the pattern reflect the original image optimally, a designer should consider the viewing distance between the perforated sheet project and the people who will see it. The viewing distance has a relation to the average hole size and the centre-to-centre distance between holes as well as the open area. Thus, if a perforated pattern is supposed to be seen at a distance of about 10 meters (eg: a car park building fascia), at this optimal viewing distance they will automatically recognise the image that appears on the perforated sheet.
However when people see it at around 3 or 4 meters distance, they will just see the perforated pattern as a scattered, meaningless, hole pattern on the sheet.. On the other hand, if people see it from 20 or 25 meters away, they will see it as a dot image or a plain picture without automatically knowing that it is an art work created from a perforated pattern.
The pictures below illustrate what people see when the perforated pattern design is too close or too far away.
Viewing distance is too close
Viewing distance is too far away

He's 6 feet tall and 190 pounds. He makes music and has a large local following, he is a martial arts prodigy, and he's extremely good at getting good at things in general. He is shy in some situations, talented creatively and athletically, and has a good heart. The only thing is he is eccentric has weird activities, does things that don't make sense to others at times, doesn't always think like everyone else, and has a genius level IQ. Another thing is he use to have depression and anxiety problems in the past.

None of those things matter to me if we don't click. If we click, most of the things you listed will be a plus in my book. But if we don't click, I literally couldn't care less about his hobbies, level of intelligence etc. If we were friends, I'd care for him as a friend. But it's not like I'd think "hey, this guy is talented and smart, that totally makes me want to date him". Because that's not how it works for me. I need more than that. Most of it simply depends on whether we have a connection or not, and whether the connection we have makes me think of him in a platonic way or in a romantic way.11|00|0

Very Disappointed!
By Paige on
Vehicle2006 Volkswagen Rabbit 4dr Hatchback (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
ReviewFirst 3 years, I loved the car! It has 127K miles on it now & I have to have the transmission rebuilt. I am very disappointed in VW. I would have continued to purchase VW and drive them for the rest of my lift until now. There is absolutely no reason I should have to have the transmission rebuilt yet. It should last me to 250K or more with the proper service and believe me I have had it all done. I loved everything about the car but this has totally changed my mind on VW and Audi for that matter or probably anything foreign except Honda & Subaru. Such a huge disappointment. And on top of it all VW wanted to rebuild it for $5150.00. Didn't go that route, no way!

Serge Ibaka spent his first seven seasons in the NBA with the Oklahoma City Thunder before being shipped to the Orlando Magic on draft night for Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova, and the rights to Domantas Sabonis. Ibaka will spend at least one season in Orlando, where he'll make $12.3 million before becoming an unrestricted free agent. Once he hits the market, according to Doug Smith of the Toronto Star, the Toronto Raptors are expected to make a vehement run at him.
"Rest assured, at this moment – and all know how things can change – I know a free agent Serge Ibaka is very much on their minds and without knowing the total math or 2017 numbers, I imagine they have a scenario in mind where it could work."
Ibaka landing in the North isn't far fetched by any means, and he would bring a ton of value to a team order tramadol online overnight cod that's right on the cusp of being a contender. Although they signed Jared Sullinger this off-season, the talent level favors Ibaka; versatility also benefits Ibaka as he can play either the power forward or center position.
His developing jump shot brings just as much value as what he does on defense, since spacing the floor allows more room for Jonas Valanciunas to work in the post, and would open up more driving lanes for DeMar DeRozan.
Defensively, Ibaka is still a stopper despite his numbers taking a dip in 2015-16. That doesn't reflect him, however, as OKC's team defense had dipped over the last two seasons since they adopted a more dynamic offense fueled by Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant before he departed.
Air Congo still managed to swat 1.9 shots per game last season, a number that would've led Toronto.

If so, what was he/she like when you first met them, and did the emotional abuse escalate to physical abuse? How did you know it was emotional abuse?-signs
Thank you. Please share you experiences.
Most Helpful Guy
Yes. She separated from her husband because he was "too controlling." So we started dating and it soon became apparent that she was the one who was the controlling one. I lived in the area for far longer that she did, yet she felt she needed to give me driving directions, even to my own house. She complained because I wouldn't exceed the speed limit, which was really funny when I passed by her one day on the interstate while a cop had stopped her for speeding. He husband found out we were dating and didn't care. I think he was happy to pawn her off onto someone else. She would literally call me 15-20 times a day, every day. She even got fired from her job for making too many personal phone calls. I warned her it would happen but she ignored me. We broke up soon after, but she kept trying to contact me. I came very close to having to obtain a restraining order against her. I found out later that her kids were taken away from her and placed with their grandparents because she tried to strangle her oldest son to death. Bullet dodged. :-/00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
Yes, I have been. Things were better when we first got together, but his own mental issues got worse as time went on. I was blamed for many things, put down often, etc... It never hit the physical abuse level thankfully.00|00|0

Hollywood And Green Groups Get Tough On Trump For Picking Climate Change Skeptic To Head EPA
Leonardo DiCaprio Thursday is reported to have visited Trump in New York
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's pro-energy, anti-regulatory stance that has won him great favour with the oil, gas, coal, and other industries was advanced a major step further on Thursday with his selection of Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt as head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
But no sooner was the selection of Pruitt, who opposes president Barack Obama's climate agenda, announced than the bastion of limousine environmentalists - Hollywood - swung into retaliatory action in the form of Leonardo DiCaprio visiting Trump in New York to lecture him on the importance of a green economy.
DiCaprio also presented him with a copy of his new climate change documentary, Before the Flood.
Scott Pruitt, attorney general, Oklahoma
I intend to run this agency in a way that fosters both responsible protection of the environment and freedom for American businesses
Meanwhile, environmental groups are urging their supporters to lobby the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee to reject Pruitt prior to his confirmation hearing next Wednesday - although this is seen as an uphill battle, in part because the committee is to be headed by Republican John Barrasso.
Although billionaire hedge fund manager and climate activist Tom Steyer blamed Trump for continuing "to appoint people who are seriously unfit and unprepared for the jobs they need to do," resource industries as well as many scientists have long argued that the climate change issue has been overly hyped to the fiscal advantage of green groups and power hungry regulators - and to them, Pruitt is a welcome breath of reason.
Pruitt has also won favour from U.S. constitutionalists for joining 26 other attorneys in suing to block Obama's Clean Power Plan, on the grounds it "is an unlawful attempt to expand federal bureaucrats' authority over states' energy economies, in order to shutter coal-fired power plants and eventually other sources of fossil-fuel generated electricity," according to the attorney-general.
Still, EPA staff are said to be understandably nervous over the nomination, and Eric Schneiderman, attorney general of New York, promises to "use the full power of my office" to compel the EPA to uphold federal environment laws.
The mainstream press is also doing its part to discredit Pruitt, with The Guardian mocking him as having "spoken darkly of a `climate change agenda' that threatens the economy and even free speech" and lumping him together with other Republicans as questioning the "overwhelming" scientific evidence of man-made global warming.
It remains to be seen whether Pruitt will assume control of the EPA or - even more importantly - whether he will be successful in his bid to dismantle some of the more onerous regulations governing the resource industry; but on Thursday he made it clear he intended to do so by stating, "The American people are tired of seeing billions of dollars drained from our economy due to unnecessary EPA regulations, and I intend to run this agency in a way that fosters both responsible protection of the environment and freedom for American businesses."
Throughout his election campaign, Trump slammed Obama for passing onerous regulations against the oil and gas sector and has repeatedly gone on record as calling man made climate change "a hoax."

MICHAEL Ngoo is fired up for Kilmarnock's Scottish Premiership clash against Dundee United tonight after scoring a second-team hat-trick in midweek – but he refuses to view his bid for a place in the side as a fight with team-mates.
Ngoo has made only two starts for Kilmarnock since picking up a minor injury after his winning debut against Ross County on 16 August.
Josh Magennis has established himself up front, with the likes of Lee Miller and Robbie Muirhead also vying for a place, and Rory McKenzie returning from injury ahead of tonight's game. Ngoo will focus on helping the team out when he can rather than stressing about getting in ahead of team-mates.
After scoring three in a development league match against former club Hearts, he said: "I trust my ability and I know that, when I get an opportunity, I can take it. It does boost your confidence getting a hat-trick. It got my fitness up too. I'm not really bothered about competition, I'm bothered about getting a job done for the team.
"Other people might see it as competition, and I have to do better than my opponent, but it takes your mind away from doing the right thing, which is playing well, scoring goals and helping the team."
Ngoo stated his ambition was to win the Premiership when he first joined the club, a target that raised more than a few eyebrows. But his side have exceeded other people's expectations, sitting level on 14 points with Celtic after eight games. They can move third if they beat leaders United.
"Personally I didn't feel I was being ambitious," he said. "Obviously people will say, 'He's being a bit ambitious'. But we have played many teams this season but not one has actually fazed me. I still think we can do well if we stick together and work hard as a team."
Kilmarnock will need to continue their improvement if they are to turn around recent results against United – they have lost the past five games between the teams, conceding 16 goals in the process. Manager Allan Johnston said: "They are a good team. They have been scoring a lot of goals this year as well. They are really fast on the counter so we just have to make sure, when we've got the ball and we're attacking, that we don't get caught with the sucker-punch. There is nothing to be scared of."
United manager Jackie McNamara has warned the league leaders they will face equally confident opponents.
"It will be a very tough game. Kilmarnock have been doing well this season and Allan will have his players ready for this match. They had a great result against Partick Thistle in their last game so their confidence will be high. We have seen them play and they have some good young players, like Craig Slater and Chris Johnston, who've been doing well for them. They gained some good experience last season.
"We're under no illusions but we will be ready for it like any other game we go into."
McNamara will not be upset if they have to work hard for a scrappy win. "We are showing we are able to grind out wins as well, which is important," he said.

The Green Party today called for an inquiry into the safety of buildings on Dublin's Mountjoy Square, as it emerged that last Monday's fire in No.'s 1 and 2 Mountjoy Square was a near carbon-copy of a similar fire ten years ago in which 35 people were rescued from the same buildings in similar circumstances.
The Green Party's Councillor Ciarán Cuffe who represents the North Inner City ward said: "I am concerned that near identical fires have occurred in the same two buildings a decade apart. It is a miracle that no-one was killed in either fire. I will be seeking a full report from our Chief Executive Owen Keegan on what actions were taken by the City Council subsequent to the 2006 fire, and whether statutory notices were issued, or complied with.
"We need to ensure that all landlords are fully aware of, and compliant with their statutory responsibilities, and ensure in particular that over-crowding does not occur. Local residents have raised concerns about the condition of these, and similar buildings in the past. I want be reassured by City Council officials that they have responded appropriately to these concerns, and that they will redouble their efforts to tackle planning and fire safety concerns in the future."
Mr. Cuffe has submitted the following Motion for consideration at the March meeting of Dublin City Council:
"That the City Council investigate and report on all planning enforcement, fire and other notices issued in regard to No.'s 1 and 2 Mountjoy Square given that fires resulting in the hospitalisation of residents occurred on 27th December 2006 and 20th February 2017. This inquiry and report shall give details of all complaints received relating to the building, investigate whether the building was over-crowded, and in compliance with all regulations, and provide details of any Section 59 Endangerment Notices issued under the Planning and Development Acts."

Chautari Fellowship on Public Life and Public Knowledge
Martin Chautari (MC) established a fellowship under the title 'Chautari Fellowship on Public Life and Public Knowledge' in the year 2010. This fellowship will be awarded to Nepal-based Nepali academics or public intellectuals who, in the analysis of the executive committee of MC, have demonstrated competently their commitment to public life and public knowledge in their domains of work in Nepal. Thus this fellowship falls under MC's larger commitment to expanding the quality of the public sphere and building the social contract between the state and citizens.
Initially only one such fellowship will be awarded per year and later, funds permitting, its number can be increased. It is expected that the fellow will use the one-year tenure of the fellowship to complete a major piece of work that will enhance public life and public knowledge in Nepal. This could be in the form of research and writing for academics, writers, print journalists and others for whom writing is the chief mode of production. It could also come in the form of an audio-visual product for documentary makers, broadcast journalists and others for whom such products are the chief mode of production. It could also come in the form of art work (any genre), theatre show or related public events for those engaged in such work in their capacity as public intellectuals.
The fellow will also be expected to deliver a public lecture or a similar event on a topic related to his/her work during the fellowship tenure, make 2-3 presentations in MC's regular discussion series, and participate in all major MC events. The fellow is also expected to interact informally with MC researchers and others in a regular basis during the fellowship period at the MC premises.
Each year, the executive committee of MC will come up with a few names of people who could be awarded this fellowship based on their track record. Among these, it will rank some individuals and approach them in order of the ranking. Once MC's offer has been accepted by a potential fellow, details of the fellowship tenure, work to be accomplished, and mutual expectations will be discussed and finalized. A memorandum of understanding describing these terms will be signed between MC and the fellow.
In most cases, the fellowship will be for a period of one year, coinciding if possible, with the reporting annual cycle of MC (mid-July one year to mid-July the following year). If that is not possible, the fellowship tenure period will be decided through discussions between MC and the fellow. The fellow will be provided with a stipend (the amount of which can vary each year) and when appropriate, working space within MC premises. S/he will have borrowing privileges from the MC library, access to related facilities and will also be provided partial research assistance when appropriate. S/he will also obtain gift copies of MC publications that appear during the fellowship tenure.
For 2011-12, this Chautari fellowship has been awarded to the engineer turned historian Yogesh Raj. During the fellowship year (November 2011 to October 2012), he will work on a research project entitled 'Travels of the Newar Potters: A History.'

There are three kinds of main rail routes that can say the longest single continuous service in the world. The first main route is the Trans-Siberian which has 9,288 kilometres (5,772 miles) length, spanning 8 time zones and taking about 7 days to complete its journey.
The second primary route is the Trans-Manchurian, which coincides with the Trans-Siberian as far as Tarskaya (a stop 12 km east of Karymskaya, in Chita Oblast), about 1000 km east of Lake Baikal. The third primary route is the Trans-Mongolian, which coincides with the Trans-Siberian as far as Ulan Ude on Lake Baikal's eastern shore. From Ulan-Ude the Trans-Mongolian heads south to Ulaan-Baatar before making its way southeast to Beijing.
In 1991, a fourth route running further to the north was finally completed, after more than five decades of sporadic work. Known as the Baikal Amur Mainline (BAM), this recent extension departs from the Trans-Siberian line at Taishet several hundred miles west of Lake Baikal and passes the lake at its northernmost extremity. The weekly Trans-Mongolian (train 4 eastbound, train 3 westbound) train leaves Moscow for Beijing every Tuesday night.
The 7,621 km (4,735 mile) journey takes 6 days. This train crosses Siberia, cuts across Mongolia and the Gobi desert, then enters China and passes through the Great Wall. There's a second weekly train between Moscow and Ulan Bator (train 6 eastbound, train 5 westbound). Alternatively, there are daily trains between Moscow and Irkutsk and a daily train between Irkutsk and Ulan Bator (train 263/264). There are two trains a week between Ulan Bator and Beijing.
Trains from South to Mongolia.
It is a Beijing – Ulaanbaatar
The train departs every Tuesday all year around. And in Summer from middle of June to middle of October, on Saturday, the additional train makes a voyage between Beijing and Ulaanbaatar.
Further, train # 3 stopovers in Ulaanbaatar every Thursday on the way to Moscow. It is a Beijing – Ulaanbaatar – Moscow express.
The next train from China is train # 33. This one is Hoh hot to Ulaanbaatar direct train, departs from Hoh hot every Friday and Monday.
The last one is Erlian – Ulaanbaatar train # 21, leaves from Erlian every on Saturday and Tuesday.
And then, all trains from China; make travel again to China from Mongolia. So, train numbers will be even numbers. Chinese and Mongolian trains alternatively make a journey according to their timetable.
The only train is Chinese one is train # 3, even it becomes train # 4.
Train from North to Mongolia.
Mongolian Railway has 60 years history and makes international train travel in the south to Asia and in the north to Europe. From this year, the next biggest establishment is under the construction to the west. Hope we can take a train to go directly East Europe not soon after.
Train # 6 and 4 come from Moscow to Ulaanbaatar every on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
But, train # 6 departs in the winter time 2 – 4 times travel. And then, departs to Moscow from Ulaanbaatar, every on Tuesday and Friday, Thursday.
Mongolian train # 6 goes to Moscow on Friday and then return on Wednesday and Russian train # 6 departs from Moscow to Ulaanbaatar and return to Moscow on Tuesday.
The next train not from Moscow is train # 264. It is also named 362. It is a only 1 train. Make a journey to Ulaanbaatar everyday in the evening and running 2 days.

Was Scipio a Charlatan?
The Primary Record
Scipio was a legend, even in his own times, when Polybius said of him that he was 'almost the most famous man of all time' (Polybius 10.2.2). In his life time he acquired adulation status – elected Consul on a landslide in 205bc and, on his return from Africa in 201bc, awarded the title 'Africanus' and offered the posts of Consul-for-Life and Dictator. After he died his death mask was kept, not in a shrine in his own home, but in the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill – Scipio had become one of the Lares (household gods) not of his family, but of the Roman empire.
Secondary historians
Scipio's reputation has survived down the ages. He became a hero of the Renaissance: 'As the sun conquers the shining stars with its rays, so Scipio excels all others', wrote the 14th century Italian poet Petrarch.
Hyperbole? 'He stood like a beacon above his contemporaries on the strength of his brilliance', writes the modern historian Richard Gabriel (2008), who regards it as a 'cruel paradox' that it is Scipio who is forgotten today, whilst the man he defeated – Hannibal – has 'captivated the imagination'. Gabriel sees on Scipio much more than merely a war-winning general:
Scipio seems to have been the first to grasp a sense of Rome's destiny ... he did not make war to destroy, but to create a new Roman world order in which Rome stood as civiliser of the world.
Scipio is one of the few generals in history who never lost a battle. The 20th century military historian Liddell Hart (1926) acclaimed Scipio 'greater than Napoleon' – the greatest military commander in all antiquity.
Polybius and Mommsen
Not everyone has hero-worshipped Scipio. In his own day, Cato regarded him as a corrupt and very dangerous man, with his new-fangled ideas.
Polybius was
a Scipionic client, and anxious to eulogise him – but even he presents a very wooden and unrealistic man, whom he
struggles to describe other than in formulaic terms. In particular, Polybius-the-rationalist found it hard to praise Scipio's superstitious/religious nature – he
seems to have come round to the idea that Scipio was just
pretending to be religious to win the support of the mob
(see also
Livy 26.19):
Polybius, Book 10, Chapter 2
Reading this, the 19th century German classicist
Theodor Mommsen accused Scipio of hypocrisy … of being a charlatan.
'As an officer, Scipio rendered at least no greater service to his country than Marcellus'.
Reading this, the 19th century German classicist
Theodor Mommsen accused Scipio of hypocrisy … of being a charlatan.
'As an officer, Scipio rendered at least no greater service to his country than Marcellus'.
It is VITAL that you read the commentary on Livy's account of Scipio's speech at his meeting with Hannibal, here.
1. Look back through your notes - and, particularly, study the commentary on his speech in Livy - which describe Scipio and his actions.
Use your notes to make a list of all the POSITIVES about his military and political record.
2. Write an answer to the following question:
''Scipio was the man who saved Rome.' How far do the ancient sources support this opinion?
In your answer you should:
• give a brief account of Scipio's achievements;
• explain why Scipio succeeded;
• show knowledge of the relevant sections of Polybius and Livy;
• consider how reliable you think these sources are. [30]

Lux Humor Guide by ShadoRage
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Most likely a Death Star...
Lux Build
Middle Lane
Your power cell!
Charge the cell, baby!
grabbing that AP!
Nearing completion!
The Death star is fully operational!
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Getting Lux in ARAM right from the start creates a thorn in your enemies side for the entire game, but with this full ap build (of doom) they will fear you so much they will have to turn into MR tanks, or constantly die by your insta-death laser, and your slowing mini suns.
this build is only for fun, and if you are a serious ARAM player it may hurt your feelings.
Runes, and Masteries
for this build to be absolutely correct you will need go for the Full AP thing in your Runes, and Masteries as well (as seen above).
Your starting voyage
As Lux, seeing as all of her abilities are useful you should get a point in each, but max the Q first for play-making genius, but along with that you have the AP advantage thanks to the runes, and masteries, getting the tear is crucial for this to work (only source of mana this build will allow).
after you died...
your next item shall be the archangel's for the obvious reason of "mana" <----common theme.
Then start work on your Deathfire.
A hat, and an hourglass
this is an extensive purchase for ARAM standards, but it is just so necessary to your damage pool which is now over 400 AP with them added.
More of those?!??!
while it may seem really dumb, and redundant to buy two more dfg's it actually is not, because for each one you buy you get an extra 120 AP, and 10% cdr, and it is really the only item in the 120 AP range worth more than one item spot
This makes your AP skyrocket to about 720 (not counting runes and masteries).
My closing Regards
with each ability maxed, Lux equipped with this build will:
> deal 260 + 506 AP (766) with her untouched Q (130 + 253 AP (383) with the second strike).
> shield 180 + 253 AP (433) as a damage shield over her allies, and herself with her W.
> deal 240 + 434 AP (674) with her E.
> deal 500 + 543 AP (1043) with her Death Star laser ultimate. (also activates passive for even more damage)
hopefully I will start seeing some people on the Howling Abyss use this guide.
Thanks for reading

iOS 10 lets you remove default apps in iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch: Remove Apple Watch, Apple Maps, Stocks etc
I the next version of iOS, the iOS 10, you will gain ability to remove stock apps from iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. So instance, I do not do stocks so currently I have tucked it away in a folder like I am ashamed of it.
Same goes for Watch app on iPhone which is useless for me since I use a Rado watch and want a mechanical watch to tell me the time instead of childish digital watch. Other apps that we are tired of is the atrocious Apple Maps which is not as complete as Google Maps both in terms of maps detail and application features. You will be able to delete that as well and gain some free space.
Same goes for iBooks or Podcasts app that do nothing but clutter up space and screen real estate. That said, if you miss a particular app, you will be able to download it from app store. Apple does say that removing certain apps will lead to system functions or information. For instance, when you delete weather app, it will remove weather info from notifications as well as from that stupid Apple watch.

- 1 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Fresh coriander, roughly chopped
- Use a knife to remove silver skin from underneath the ribs
- Mix together soy sauce, honey, wine, chilli sauce, garlic and ginger. Add ribs and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in fridge (overnight is even better).
- Place ribs, marinade, star anise and cinnamon in a large heavy-bottomed pan. Pour in just enough water to cover. Bring to simmer and cook for about 1 hour until tender.
- Remove ribs and set aside. Turn up heat to reduce the sauce until it is thick and sticky.
- Pre-heat oven to 200°C (or 400°F).
- Brush ribs with reduced sauce and place in oven to roast for 10 to 15mins. Turn ribs once and brush with extra coatings of sauce every few minutes.
- Remove from oven, slice into individual ribs, and garnish with coriander.

Kanye says 'South Park' put him in check
NEW YORK (AP) -- "South Park" may have accomplished the impossible getting Kanye West to check his ego.
The Comedy Central show skewered the famously self-important rapper on its show Wednesday night.
West responded Thursday on his blog, saying the show was funny, but that it also hurt his feelings and has helped him realize that maybe he needs to stop saying how great he is.
Said West in his typical all-caps mode: "I JUST WANT TO BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM."

Flymaster TAS Air Speed Probe - Hang Gliding
RRP: £149.00Price: £149.00
Customer Reviews ( 5 stars is best )
Flymaster TAS - True Air Speed Probe for Hang Gliders !NEW LOWER PRICE!
The TAS Probe uses a Pitot tube for determining air speed. Consequently, it does not suffer from problems related to impeller type sensors, which can lose accuracy due to contamination from dust and damage. The Flymaster TAS Probe connects to your Flymaster flight instrument using a built in wireless interface, creating a flexible and robust solution to air speed measurement.
Using air speed data, your Flymaster instrument can provide useful information for flight performance and safety, by more accurately calculating wind speed and direction, and providing additional features such as Stall Alert, Speed-to-Fly and Energy compensation.
Thermal Sniffer
The TAS Probe also includes a fast (low thermic inertia) and high resolution temperature sensor, capable of detecting tiny variations in airflow temperature.
Combining temperature data with information from the renowned high accuracy Flymaster varios and GPS's, the system can potentially detect nearby thermals, creating an unbeatable thermal hunting solution.
By wirelessly receiving the temperature data from the TAS Probe, the Flymaster flight instrument can display and register the temperature during flight. By doing so, the Flymaster instrument can identify patterns which can be used later to evaluate the thermal potential of an area or spot thermal proximity.
- Air Speed measurement from 5 to 180 km/h (1 km/h resolution)
- Temperature Measurement from -20 to +60 ºC (0.1 ºC resolution)
- Power: 1 AAA battery (not supplied)
- Maximum communication distance: 5m

020: George Magnus on The Age of Ageing, China and the EU
George Magnus is an independent economist, consultant and commentator. He has a distinguished career that started with some teaching assignments but was spent mostly in the financial services industry.
Before going solo in 2012, George was the Senior Economic Adviser at UBS Investment Bank having previously been the Chief Economist for 10 years. In almost 30 years of working experience in the City, he has held senior positions at SG Warburg, Chase Manhattan Bank and Bank of America. He is a well-known and highly regarded economist in the financial community and has won many accolades in professional surveys as one of the top global economists.
George is well known for his commentaries and interviews in newspapers, journals, TV and radio, most notably for the Financial Times, CNBC and Bloomberg.
George, gained widespread acclaim for declaring in early 2007 that we would face a Minsky Moment – or systemic banking crisis – and a decade of slow growth, has extensive experience of writing on, explaining and speaking about the global economy.
His first book, The Age of Ageing: How Demographics Are Changing The Global Economy And Our World was published in 2008. His latest book, Uprising: Will Emerging Markets Shape or Shake the Global Economy was published at the end of 2010, and assesses, in particular, whether China is set to dominate the world system.
Economic Themes:
In this interview, George mentions and discusses: bubbles, crashes, business cycles, demography, pensions, labor, emerging markets, life expectancy, debt-to-GDP, monetary union and fiscal union.
In this interview, George mentions: Hyman Minsky, Thomas Malthus, J.K. Galbraith, James Galbraith (son), Thomas Picketty and Michael Pettis.
J.K. Galbraith
In this episode, you will learn:
- about bubbles and why we never learn from them.
- how demographics are changing the world economy through declining fertility and rising life expectancy.
- about the need for a policy agenda to cope with an ageing society.
- why age-related commitments and promises such as pensions and health care schemes are unaffordable.
- why there is a pension crisis to come and how it mimics a Ponzi-scheme.
- about the fastest ageing country – China – and what problems will exist in the future.
- if economies can experience positive growth rates if population declines by relying on robotics.
- how the second machine age may bring problems to those whose jobs have been automated.
- if there will be a strong Luddite presence in the future given the pace of technological change.
- about the failure of the BRIC emerging countries to live up to their expectations.
- if China is all hype.
- what the real problem is in Europe in terms of its monetary union.
- why the EU should have started with a fiscal and political union first and then build a monetary union on top.
- about George Magnus' band 'Prisom' and his love of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.

What's Preventing You from Making Online Income?
A lot of persons want to earn an online income and to do well at it, live comfortably and be able to pay the bills, no boss to worry about. They also dream sometimes of earning more than the boss' salary.
However, the truth be told, you can infact be in a much better position to earn significantly more than the boss, you just need to have the right mindset.
For example, the average senior manager may be your boss and earns roughly $300,000 per year. This person stands the risk of losing all of this in the event of downsizing, illness or other acts of nature. The risk is that although the earning potential is high, it is coming from only one source, making this individual vulnerable.
But let's consider another scenario, a lower level manager such as a middle manager earns roughly $100,000 per year. However, this person also owns real estate which is rented out for $150,000 per year, earns another $30,000 from other investments. His risk is not high as a lot of his earning potential is still secure since it is not from one source. Are you following so far? Good, let's continue.
In the second example, the source of income can also be passed on thereby securing wealth for his family and to top it off there may also be other sources of income.
Now, if you sit around and wait for business opportunities to come to you, it will not happen as fast as you would like and you most certainly will become frustrated and disillusioned. The thing to do is go out, be bold and create your own business opportunities. The person with a business mindset will always see opportunities to create wealth while the person without this mindset can only see obstacles. You need to be keeping the right perspective and keeping an eye out for generating income.
As long as you are generating your wealth honestly, you need not be concerned from where it comes, rather, use that energy to create more wealth. With the new thrust and interest in technology, it is being widely used to create wealth and the internet is one such. If you are already operating an online internet business, already you have value and you can make online income while you are asleep or when you are at your salaried job.
Among the countless number of products and services being offered for sale online, you should be able to create online income with your own products or services. Whichever way you choose you will need a platform from which you can communicate effectively with prospective customers.
There is a lot to learn but all this is easy but takes time, no one was born making money, it is a learnt activity which had to start somewhere.

I am including Thursday because even though I went to work on Friday, Thursday contained weekend activities. AKA a ball game. And for once the evening was nice and warm! My brother, mom and mom's friend came to keep me company in the stands.
A week just isn't a normal week without a trip across the border. We went to our mailbox to pick up a few packages we ordered online and then had dinner at Applebees. Applebees is so good, great prices, and free wifi!
It feels like Christmas morning when online shipments arrive. I bought mostly clothes and I think I will be keeping everything! Win!
Big Brother Canada just ended last week and the whole cast was in Niagara Falls. We kept our eyes peeled for someone familiar while we were driving through but had no luck. I was trying to find out details on their social media accounts to hopefully see them. I would loved to have gotten a picture with Kevin and Pili! #showmance #BBCAN3
Saturday I visited one of my girlfriends and her adorable daughter. Her fiance is a pilot and is often away so I am so happy to visit and hang out with them a little bit! We didn't do anything exciting other than just talk. Sometimes us girls just need to have girl talk, amiright??
Mike had a doubleheader scheduled starting at 9am on Sunday. We woke up to pouring rain but since the games are in a different city about half an hour away, we didn't know if it was raining there too. So we got in the car at around 8am and found out the games were cancelled when we were 5 minutes away. Doesn't it always happen like that?
We made the most of it and visited my mom and brother who lives nearby. We had a yummy lunch, played cards, video games, and chatted with my grandparents via Skype.
And just like that it's Monday. And June!
This week (and the next couple of months) will be nuts at work. We are entering a very busy period and I think I'm prepared for it all! Fingers crossed!
Hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing weekend! Tell me how it went!
~Linking up with Biana at B Loved Boston for her Weekending series!

DAYTONA BEACH, FL and TAMPA, FL — (Marketwired) — 06/11/14 — J. Scott Penny, Chief Acquisitions Officer of Brown & Brown, Inc. (NYSE: BRO), and Frederick K. Gaston, IV, the majority shareholder of Gaston & Associates, Inc., today announced that Brown & Brown of New York, Inc., a subsidiary of Brown & Brown, Inc., has acquired certain assets of Gaston & Associates, Inc.

Mr. Rollins stated, "Gaston & Associates has lengthy and remarkable history of serving its business clients in New York and beyond. Over the years, the agency has built an impressive reputation as a result of its highly personalized approach to meeting its clients' risk management needs. We are honored that Fred and his staff have chosen to become a part of our organization."
"We feel very fortunate for the opportunity to join Mark and his team and to become a part of the Brown & Brown family," said Fred Gaston.

All forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this release, and Brown & Brown does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur or of which Brown & Brown hereafter becomes aware.

Ethiopian wolves numbers on the rise
The rare Ethiopian wolves, Africa's most threatened carnivores, are beginning to recover from three tough years in their stronghold in the Bale Mountains of southern Ethiopia.
They are the rarest of the world's rarest dog family, but recently wolf packs in the Web Valley, Sanetti Plateau and Morebawa have seen 28, 22 and 10 pups recorded respectively.
Time shave been hard for the species in recent years, with outbreaks of rabies and canine distemper virus, as well as a serious drought, threatening their numbers, and there are fewer than 500 Ethiopian wolves remaining in the world. They are threatened by loss of habitat, hybridization with domestic dogs and the spread of lethal diseases.
The Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme (EWCP), funded by Born Free and led by Born Free's Head of Conservation, Claudio Sillero, has been protecting the species for more than 20 years.
EWCP Field Coordinator, Eric Bedin, said: "By the end of January this year, the number of pups located has been impressive. Nearly all wolf packs have bred successfully and some have 'split', increasing the number of families and breeding pairs. We still need to find a few more dens, while pups have not yet emerged from others. This season is incredible and we hope indicates a good recovery of the wolf populations in the Bale Mountains after three tough years."
Professor Claudio Sillero, added: "Seeing the pups emerging from the den, and cared for so lovingly by the mum assisted by all members of the pack, reminds me why I'm in the business of wildlife conservation. These highland wolves are so fragile, and yet so resilient. Perched on the roof of Africa, they are a flagship for the protection of these special Afroalpine habitats and many other wild animals found nowhere else."

The Frenemy on the carpet

He can't contain himself. Because we're going to the Canucks game tonight. Round 2, Game 1. And it's warm. Which means the hockey whores will probably come almost naked. Amazing!

My first question was: were they Asian? Of course they were. Incredibly, on a sunny day, their masks were not accompanied by those massive satellite dish visors to block out the UV rays.
Sigh. I don't want to look like these two assholes. See below.

Keep Your Plants Alive While on Vacation
I've written before about how I am a notorious plant killer. I was worried my house plants would die while I was on vacation last week. That's why I'm so glad I came upon this tip from RadMegan. She has a tutorial on using old bottles as "aqua globes" for watering your plants. I have some of those aqua globes for my smaller plants but I didn't have one big enough for my palm tree. I grabbed an empty beer bottle and cleaned it out. Filled it with water and quickly flipped it over and shoved it into the dirt. The water will slowly release into the dirt. The bigger the plant, the bigger the bottle you can use. I am happy to report I arrived home to all my plants alive and happy!

It's a VOLUNTEER force and for anyone who signs up that means they CAN be sent to parts unknown to do dirty, dangerous jobs for far less pay than the average civilian gets for their safe IED-free desk job.
JP--love the horse, and it reminds me of my trip to Fort Myer, where they have a lot of big gray Percherons in the Army. The Spec3 who gave me the stable tour explained they try to recruit for the Caisson platoon from OUTSIDE the Old Guard because their uniform standards are...hard to get used to compared to units like the Tomb guard. An NCO once came up to him before a funeral and demanded to know "Why are there all those white hairs on your uniform!" He said he pointed to the six huge white Perches hitched to the caisson and said "Sir, they're shedding, sir!"
Though I admit, my heart's more with Mike over there. Go Navy!

I actually did just that and they said that they had no coupons or patient assistance but that they had a generic for the generic. I have to say these pharmaceutical companies run a pretty good racket if you ask me. Thanks for your response.
