The origin of the Moldavians has a long and complicated history. They trace their descent from eastern Romance tribes (referred to in Russian chronicles as the Volokhs) that migrated to the territory between the Prut and the Dniester, where they began in the sixth century to mingle gradually with Slavs and other local ethnic groups.
The formation of the Moldavian nationality at the foothills of the Carpathians had been completed by the fourteenth century, when the areas they inhabited entered the Moldavian Principality. In the first half of the sixteenth century it came under the domination of the Osman Empire. Without altering the Moldavians' ethnic appearance, the Turkish influence left its mark on their cultural tradition, which is reflected, among other things, in the interior furnishing of the typical Moldavian dwelling. In the late eighteenth century the left bank of the Dniester, and in 1812 also the southern part of Moldavia, known as Bessarabia, were reconquered from Turkey and annexed to Russia, whereupon the final consolidation of the Moldavian nationality was achieved.
The Moldavians, their self-designation being Moldoven, speak a language belonging to the Romance group of the Indo-European family of languages, although they are culturally close to eastern Slavs. Their religion is Christian Orthodoxy. Today, their number totals about 3.5 million, with 2,800,000 living in Moldavia and 172,330 in the Russian Federation.
The Volokhs (or Valakhs) are an ethnic community tracing its descent from the Thracian tribes inhabiting the Carpathian Mountains and the norther part of the Balkan Peninsula and Romanized in the early years of Our Era. Since the sixth century, part of the Volokhs who settled in the eastern Carpathian foothills have maintained contact with the Slavic world.

Police lay new charge after encounter with hit-and-run suspect
The Canadian Press
Published Wednesday, December 12, 2012 1:54PM EST
TORONTO -- Toronto police have laid another attempted murder charge against a man wanted in a multiple hit-and-run incident.
Police say the new charge stems from an encounter with a suspect early Wednesday, when they allege a male driver rammed a car into two police cruisers.
They say it happened as officers tried to arrest the suspect in connection with a number of charges stemming from a hit-and-run collision Friday.
Steven Brunswick, 47, of no fixed address, is accused of driving a stolen vehicle onto a sidewalk that afternoon, hitting three people.
It's alleged he also tried to hit a police officer who was pursuing him.
Brunswick is charged with attempted murder, theft of a vehicle, dangerous driving and failing to remain in connection with Friday's incident, and police say anyone who sees him should call 911.

When you become an owner of Green Top Grocery, you actually become part of something special. Green Top is owned and operated by people just like you – members of the community willing to work together to provide access to local, healthy food.
Co-ops exist to serve the needs of the owners rather than to generate a profit. When the co-op does make a profit, it is cycled back into Green Top or if sufficient profit is made, it is given back to the owners in the form of a Patronage Dividend.
Your ownership investment in the co-op is what makes Green Top Grocery community-owned! It provides working capital and is not a fee, or dues, but an actual share of Green Top Grocery. This also means it can be sold back to us at any time. Ownership is a one-time investment of $200. We know $200 is not small chunk of change.
Co-op ownership is voluntary and all shoppers are welcome at Green Top.
Owner Benefits
Being an owner of Green Top Grocery comes with a lot of great perks including financial and democratic benefits! Do you like saving money, hanging out with like minded people, and having a say at what happens at YOUR store? If so, ownership is for you. To learn more about ownership benefits, click here.

Total payment of $200, plus a $10 administrative fee.
Financial Assistance
The Green Top Grocery Financial Assistance Fund (administered through the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation) allows owners to make tax deductible donations to help make ownership affordable for everyone. The subsidized plans mentioned below are made possible through donations to this fund.
- 20 Month Subsidized Plan: $5 per month for 20 months (total payment of $100, plus Financial Assistance funds of $100).
- Deferred Payment Plan: One-time payment of $20. The remaining equity payments will be paid out of your future patronage dividends.

We LOVE hearing from first time bloggers, here's what you need to know about sharing on our Hop {or any hop for that matter}. Click HERE the video tutorial or refer to our Blog Hopping for Beginners post.
This week's Let.It.Go. topics:
1. Sound of Silence. Truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation. ~ Psalm 62:1 Many people describe their daily time with God as "Quiet Time." How would you describe the time you spend with Him? Is it in the morning? Afternoon? Something new or something you've done for years?
2. Soul Control. Chapter 9. This was one packed chapter {aren't they all}. Which of the five controlling methods listed in this chapter did you identify with and how will you get some Soul Control in the future? Will you memorize a verse? Spend time with God? Have a friend keep you accountable….?
3. What-EVER. Chapter 10. How did God speak to you through this particular chapter? Did it help you understand something that happened in the past or maybe help equip you for the future?
Topics for our LAST Let.It.Go. Blog Hop…
1. Lean on Him. I will say of the LORD, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! Psalm 91:2 AMP. How does this verse speak into your life right now?
2. Stunning or Lopsided. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Of all the chapters and areas of control in your life, which is the one you believe God is calling you to relinquish? Is there an area you feel you have already grown in? We would love to hear how your life is already making changes, bog or small!
3. With That Read. Now that you have finished Let.It.Go., what is the most unexpected thing you've learned? What would you share with the next person who picks up Karen's book?

I recently had a question from a user in the Power BI Community page who wanted to know where the people were coming from based on their IP Address. The IP addresses were stored as part of the dataset, but to try and go and do this with the IP Address database meant that you would then need to go and translate the IP addresses into a number, to cross reference across the IP Address ranges.
My solution below rather uses the web lookup, which will work using any dataset, as well as simple and easy to use.
Adding the Function into your Query Editor
The first thing that you will need to do is to create the function which I did with the following steps below.
Click on New Source, and then select Blank Query
Next rename it from Query1 to fn_GetIPAddressDetails
- You can do this by right clicking and select Rename
Next in the Home Ribbon under the Query section click on Advanced Editor
Now paste in the following Power Query (M) syntax
let Source = (#"IP Address" as text) => let Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://freegeoip.net/json/" & #"IP Address")), #"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source), #"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Converted to Table"), #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table") in #"Promoted Headers" in Source
- Then click Ok.
- Now you should see the following for your function
What the above does is it takes the input of IP Address
- Then what it does it takes the IP Address and then using the above service http://freegeoip.net looks up the IP Address and returns the details.
- Next it converts the JSON to a table.
- After which I then transposed the data.
And finally promoted the first Row as Headers
Using the Function with your Data to output the IP Address details
In this step I will now show you how to use this function to get the output from your IP Addresses, in your data.
I have used a sample file in which I made up the IP Addresses as shown below.
I then went into the Add Column in the Ribbon and clicked on Invoke Custom Function
This brings up the Invoke Custom Function window and I put in the following information as shown below.
- As you can see from above, I gave my new column a name of Details
- I then clicked the drop down and selected my function I created earlier called fn_GetIPAddressDetails
- And then finally the crucial part is where I selected my IP Address Column.
- I then clicked Ok.
When you do this it returns a table as shown below.
Click on the Expand Table Button on the top right hand side, which will then prompt you which columns you want to select
- I left them all selected and clicked Ok.
And as you can see below, here is the first 3 columns from the list
I then loaded my data into my Power BI Model and created a map visual using ESRI
So in conclusion you can see it is very easy to use Power BI to create functions, which can iterate over a your dataset and give you a meaningful output with not a lot of effort, where in the past this used to take a significant amount of effort.
You can download the sample file here: Get IP Address Details.pbix

Copa del Rey round-up
By Mark Kendall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Real Madrid edged past Tenerife on a night of giant-killings in the Copa del Rey.Real Madrid managed to edge past Tenerife after extra time on a night of giant-killings in the Copa del Rey.
In total, eight Primera teams crashed out on Wednesday night to add to the five that departed in the previous round.
Deportivo La Coruna, Sevilla, Real Sociedad, Racing Santander, Levante, Mallorca, Albacete and Malaga all fell victim to lower division teams and join Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza, Espanyol and Villarreal out of the competition.
Real were indebted to Argentine Santiago Solari who produced two superb free kicks, the second in extra time, to ensure that Cristo's opener for Tenerife was not enough for another shock.
Depor were eliminated by Elche courtesy of a single goal from Roberto Peragon after just nine minutes.
Malaga threw away a two-goal lead at Lorca to slump to a 5-2 defeat.
Juan Rodriguez and Geijo seemed to have put Gregorio Manzano's men in control on the hour mark, but a Sergio Francisco double took the game to extra time where a brace from Jorge Perona and a further strike from Huegun handed the hosts a memorable victory.
Mallorca boss Hector Cuper tasted defeat for the first time since his return as two goals from Maciot Devora gave Lanzarote a surprise 2-1 victory - despite Jesus Perera's late reply.
Gramanet saw off high-flying Levante despite the Primera outfit taking an early lead.
Jofre moved Bernd Schuster's side ahead on six minutes, but an own goal from Alexis drew Gramanet level and Miki sealed victory 13 minutes from time.
Real Sociedad fell victim to lowly Mirandes who emerged triumphant 4-3 on penalties after the game had finished goalless after extra time.
Sevilla's good form in La Liga counted for nothing as Cuidad de Murcia sent them packing with a late winner.
Sevilla appeared to have forced extra time when Antonito equalised Carlos's opener eight minutes from time, but Juan Ubeda won the game for the hosts three minutes before the final whistle.
Recreativo de Huelva edged out Albacete thanks to an extra time goal from Moreno, while Racing Santander slipped to defeat at Valladolid.
Oriol Lozano put the Cantabrians one up after just 11 minutes, but two goals in three second half minutes from David Sousa and Aritz Aduritz (49 and 52) turned the game.
Real Betis saw off local rivals Cadiz with goals from Ricardo Oliveira and Juan Canas, while Osasuna snuck past Girona thanks to an extra time strike from Inaki Munoz.
Athletic Bilbao also needed extra time to beat Cultural with Santiago Ezquerro proving the match-winner after Paulino's effort had cancelled out Pablo Orbaiz's opener.
Getafe got the better of Pontevedra in another clash that needed extra time to separate the sides.
After neither side had found the net during 90 minutes, Nano and Riki scored for Quique Flores' men to ensure Charles' late effort was no more than a consolation.
Numancia triumphed 4-3 on penalties over Cordoba after Carlos Merino's last-gasp goal (86) had restored parity following Txiki's opener (58).
Lleida also needed the lottery of penalties to beat Terrassa, while in the final game of the round, Atletico Madrid play Nastic on Thursday night.
Tenerife 1-2 (AET) Real Madrid
Lorca 2-5 (AET) Malaga
Lanzarote 2-1 Mallorca
Cadiz 0-2 Real Betis
Elche 1-0 Deportivo La Coruna
Girona 0-1 (AET) Osasuna
Cultural 1-2 (AET) Athletic Bilbao
Gramanet 2-1 Levante
Recreativo 1-0 (AET) Albacete
Cordoba 1-1 (3-4 pens) Numancia
Terrassa 2-2 (2-4 pens) Lleida
Cuidad de Murcia 2-1 Sevilla
Pontevedra 1-2 (AET) Getafe
Mirandes 0-0 (4-3 pens) Real Sociedad
Real Valladolid 2-1 Racing Santander

REDMOND, Wash. -- For the first two years of Kasen Williams' high school career, Jeff Chandler worked as the Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline athletic director.
He watched as the receiver showed a mix of humility and athleticism that pointed toward a future filled with Division I success.
While Williams has matured into a sophomore standout at Washington, Chandler is now the football coach at Redmond (Wash.). He sees some similarities between Williams and Mustangs sophomore receiver Jackson Keimig.
"At times, he looks like he's a senior, a freshman in college," Chandler said. "He's that mature on the field without ever having been coached. He catches the ball. He's got great hands. His body control is pretty amazing for 15 years old. Amazing might be too high praise, but I was always like, 'Wow, we don't coach that.'"
Chandler occasionally catches glimpses that cause comparisons between Williams and Keimig. But there is no doubt they are different.
"He seems to be pretty gifted, but it's all very subtle," Chandler said. "You could see Kasen Williams was going to be spectacular just because he was so explosive. Jackson has that explosiveness, but he's really smooth."
Keimig played nine games as a sophomore this season and caught 28 passes for 343 yards and two touchdowns.
"I feel like I was successful," Keimig said. "I definitely could have done better, for sure. I think, overall, I did all right."
If Keimig is going to eventually catch the kind of attention Williams did as a prospect, he knows he has plenty to improve.
"Specifically for my position, I need to get faster as a wide receiver, probably getting around to a 4.4 (40 time) by my senior year," he said.
He plans to train with the same intensity in workouts and practices that he plays with during games.
His success is already pushing him to work harder in the offseason.
"It's really exciting for me," he said. "Being successful on the football field makes me hungrier for more success. I would like to be the best receiver in our conference, that's one of my goals. And then also, obviously, a goal of mine is to get a D-I scholarship and play at the college level."
He has yet to hear from college coaches, but he has the size at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds and athleticism that should catch their attention.
He finished his freshman year with a 4.0 G.P.A., so Stanford is his dream school right now. He also likes Washington among other Pac-12 programs. At this point, he is simply hoping to land a scholarship offer.
"To me, that would just show that my hard work pays off," he said. "I would just be so happy that I got something from all the effort I put in."
Redmond's coaching staff gave Keimig a few snaps a running back on a whim during the season.
"When we run zone, he just has such great vision in seeing where the seam is and, again, he's got that body control where he can plant and cut, accelerate and hit that seam quickly," Chandler said.
The sophomore is at his best when he has the ball in space and projects to a big receiver at the next level. Right now, his future depends on how he trains over the next two years.
"It's going to depend on how hard he works for it," Chandler said. "He works hard in the weight room. He does the extra stuff that you need to do now for football. I believe he's a Division I football player."

It was our first visit to Czech Republic and we were ready to be blown away by everything we'd read, especially the music that was going to be waiting for us there. So when a chance to stay at the Aria Hotel Prague popped in, we jumped at it! Imagine a 5-star boutique hotel dedicated to music that would be home for a bit of our stay in Prague…we couldn't say no!
First Impressions
Arriving a little before check-in time, we were set to drop our bags and head out for an early lunch having flown nearly 14 hours. But the extremely polite, friendly and accommodative (as we'd soon find out) staff at Aria Hotel Prague had our room waiting for us and we just couldn't say no. The lobby sets the tone for what waits within the rest of the Hotel. A large sky window at the lobby flooded the place with crisp autumn light and gave us a feeling that we were still outdoors. While completing our check-in formalities, we strolled around the lobby and we're clearly impressed with the art! Hanging on the walls were a series of original works by Marc Chagall. It seemed like we were in an art gallery and not a hotel, walking around admiring the art while faint strains of classical music played in the background.
The Room
As we walked up to the room, we met U2 along the way. Yes, we bumped into U2 many times during our stay as they welcomed us, looking as cool as ever in that sketch that hung along the path to our room. The Aria Hotel Prague isn't just about the classical music that Prague is famous for. The Aria Hotel celebrates all kinds of music – classical, contemporary, opera, rock and jazz. It's where Mozart and Morrison live in perfect harmony, pardon the pun.
Our room was just what we expected. Minimal, spacious and welcoming. Although vibrant, the room didn't flood you with the art and colours. It was a soothing reprieve from the bustling city just outside of its walls. A large double bed, a coffee table with a seating area and a work desk seemed like a perfect way to unwind after a day out in the city. While Rave was all set to soak in the tub for a while, I was happy finding an exhaustive playlist of music on the Apple TV installed in the room. Each room also comes with an iPad and high speed WiFi that worked without a hitch all through our stay.
Common Areas and Breakfast
While travelling, we're usually out early in the morning and return only after dinner to our hotel. But the Aria Hotel Prague made it almost impossible for us to stick to our routine. In a perfectly good way, of course. We started the day at the fitness centre and then hopped down to breakfast later. Breakfast is a wonderful spread of hot and cold dishes and we were really spoiled for choice, not to mention stuffed. Adjoining the breakfast area, again beautifully flood-lit with natural sunlight, is the Music Library and Music Salon. A wonderfully inviting space that wraps you in luxury and takes you back in time. The Aria Hotel Prague also has a Music Director (who holds a PhD in Musicology) who is available to guide guests with advice on current cultural and musical events.
In addition to the private cinema, Aria Hotel Prague also has something special tucked away for it's guests. During the summer (April to October), hotel guests can enjoy a private entrance to Prague's oldest Baroque garden, the Vrtba Garden – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unfortunately for us, we arrived just after season, so we could only enjoy the view through the window.
Aria Hotel Prague is nestled in Mala Strana (Lesser Town), with a lot of great sites within walking distance. The beautiful St. Nicholas Church is just a few steps away and further down is Prague's famous Charles Bridge. The popular Nerudova Street, the Lennon Wall, Kampa Island and Prague Castle are all accessible by foot and there's tram stops just around every corner.
There couldn't have been a better place than Aria Hotel Prague to begin our stay in Czech Republic. It gives you a good preview of what lies in store for the rest of your stay. Warm, friendly people. A beautiful history. And a world filled with music. Just like the rest of the country, we found all of this at Aria Hotel Prague.
This post was made possible by the Aria Hotel Prague. Opinions as always, are our own.

- National carrier Kenya Airways was on the receiving end after Qatar Airways flew Kenya's rugby team from Singapore despite KQ being the team sponsors
- Some attributed Kenya Airways poor financial status in the recent past for its inability to fly the team home after a historic win in Singapore
- But the airline now say it could not fly the team even if it wanted since Qatar Airways was the official carrier for the Rugby Sevens-Singapore and Hong Kong series
Kenya Airways could not fly Kenya's rugby team from Singapore even if it wanted despite the airline being the official sponsor of the history making team from 2008, said KQ Chief Executive Officer Mbuvi Ngunze.
READ ALSO: Kenya's rugby team enter final of the Singapore Sevens Cup
Following social media attacks on why the national carrier failed to seiize the opportunity of flying its brand high by bringing home the winners of Rugby Sevens Singapore main cup, Ngunze said Kenya Airways was just but a sponsor of the team.
Qatar Airways which flew the team to Kenya all the way from Singapore apparently has more rights than any airline to fly any of the teams that was participating in the series.
READ ALSO: Lucky Sevens boys through to Cup quarters
Dutch Bank HSBC is the official sponsor of the IRB Sevens 2015-2016 season and Qatar Airways, it emerges, has bought exclusive rights from HSBC to be the official carriers of the series.
This is part of Qatar Airways marketing tactics and they have to pay a branding fee to HSBC in which case KQ could only fly the team if it had such an arrangement or non existed with any other airline.
The Kenya rugby team arrived back home at 2:10pm on Tuesday, April 19, aboard a Qatar Aiways plane and received by KQ crew on the ground after historically winning the main cup at the Singapore Rugby Sevens series.

This year has been bursting with challenges most of which have been stuffed into the month of June. But I've never been one to turn down an opportunity out of fear. Instead I've bombarded my inner critic with positive verbiage from the likes of
1. Sue Monk Kidd on Super Soul Sunday, in which she says:
Well, you know, as I get older, I try to love the uncertainties more than I do the certainties."
To embrace what we don't know is one of our greatest challenges isn't it? And yet when I look back-my wedding day, the birth of my son, my grandmother's funeral, this past Mom-O-Rama talk with Moms in Hawaii and HMSA have also been a life changing experience. It's what makes life feel magical. Although I'm often full of anticipation and fear, I'm almost always grateful for the growth and opportunity it gave me.
2. Steven Pressfield's book, The War of Art continues to push me to face my fears professionally.
The amateur believes he must first overcome his fear, then he can do his work. The professional knows that fear can never be overcome. He knows there is no such thing as a fearless warrior or a dread-free artist…
The pro keeps coming on. He beats Resistance at its own game by being even more resolute and even more implacable than it is."
Pressfield teaches me that my goal isn't to wait until I'm fearless. My goal is to understand that fear is part of the process. It's to realize that part of being a professional is to accept the discomfort, plan, prepare and then even though I might feel unworthy, inexperienced and awkward and do my best anyway.
Every little girl is told at some point that the world does not want to see the ugly, afraid, secret version of her. Sometimes the people who tell her this are advertisers, sometimes they're people close to her, and sometimes they're just her own demons.
And so she must be told by someone she trusts that this hiding is both necessary and unncessary.She must be taught that, in fact, some people will want and need to hear about her secret self as badly as they need to inhale. Because reading her truth will make them less afraid of their own secret selves. And she must be taught that telling her truth will make her less afraid too. Because maybe her secret self is actually her own personal prophet."

The TIth brothers have done a sublime job on putting together a short clip on the MotorEx street meet which was held in Orange Grove, Sydney. Despite the cold weather, many avid enthusiasts braved the winter chills and brought their pieces of metal out to put on display. There was not a sector of the scene left untouched. From old school Aussie muscle through to candy painted Rotaries; there was something for everyone on the day. On top of the wicked display, the Meguair's MotorEx managed to raise over $2800 for charity, which is one hell of an achievement. We're looking forward to more events of this calibre!
Meguiars Motorex Camp Quality Street Meet
Talk about a massive turnout for the MotoEx Street Meet out at Harry's Liverpool in Western Sydney!! The weather held out for us and there was a great mix of Aussie and American muscle cars, JDM, old school rotors, lowriders and Hot Rods!
The final tally for the money that was raised for Camp Quality on Saturday night at the MotorEx Street Meet was $2664.35, which was a great result! This is equivalent to sending 3 children on their first Camp. Thanks for everyone who attended and to the boys at MotorEx for organising such a great night.

MisAdventures at 32 Weeks Pregnant …..Embarrassments and Getting Stuck in a Window
What. a. morning.
Before I tell you this, you must first envision me 32 weeks pregnant. Okay, it looks a little like this:
and that was actually a couple of weeks ago….
So each day is something of a work out anyway, but this morning was……..especially special….
1st the walk to school was a little rough due to constant false labor contractions. Don't worry, they don't really hurt, and once I quit walking they were gone.
It was "walk to school" day, which I had forgotten about since we walk to school everyday, but we came in on the tail end of it and joined the parade of walking school children. They take a different route than we do, going by a very busy highway.
There was one minor scare/embarrassment when I heard my kindergartener, Caleb, being told to get back on the sidewalk. I thought he was right beside me, but I turned around to realize he'd been darting around in the grass, by the aforementioned busy highway (don't worry we never go that way normally), picking dandelions……gotta love a public bad parenting moment like that.
Then I walked all the way back home, pushing 2-year-old Daniel in his stroller and discovered I'd locked myself out of the house. My cell phone was also nicely locked up.
No lectures, please, Dad.
…….So……first, Dan and I sat in the backyard and cried together. Dan cried, "Daddy, daddy, daddy." But unfortunately, there was no daddy around.
My mind ran through all my options. Finally I decided the quickest fix, perhaps not the easiest, was to simply break in. I might have locked the door, but I knew of a window that I had left cracked (the weather was nice this morning).
…..yep. That was my plan, fit myself through a SMALL window, 8 months pregnant, and this part of the house is slightly elevated. It's a first floor window, but it's a high one, as in over my head.
Daniel and I went into the storage room, and of course, the ladder was in the very back corner of the very full storage room.
And of course, storage rooms freak me out, as you never know what wildlife may be lurking in there!
It took me about 5 minutes to very carefully climb into the window. There was a lot at stake, so I knew I could not misstep and hurt myself, the baby, and possibly even Daniel.
I actually fit into that window more easily than I expected to, but there was a moment where I was afraid the ladder would fall over, and there I was with one leg in the window and one leg out… When you're 8 months pregnant, you don't climb into a window belly down.
You have to go legs first, belly up.
Daniel was cool as a cucumber about that part, watching me climb into the window. I had explained to him that I'd go around to the side door and let him in too.
You can't imagine how excited I was when it actually worked!! I heaved myself through that window, jumped onto the floor, ran to the side door, and there was Dan, waiting for me.
Please no email or phone call lectures about how dangerous I am. All turned out fine.
Anyway, it may not sound like much, but to Daniel and me it was quite the victory, a serious adrenaline rush, and I won't soon forget it, let me tell ya!
Finally inside my house, I took care of Daniel's needs, rested a bit, and headed out the door to my fitness class.
I was dragging a little at my class this morning, but I still put in enough effort to get a good sweat in.
Daniel pooped in his pants during the class, so I took care of that…..
I came home feeling like finally sitting down, so I served lunch to Daniel and me. Daniel finished quickly and moved on to the dining room table to color. Lulled into a false sense of security, I leisurely enjoyed my oatmeal. Now you probably think you know where this is going, but hang with me.
I finished my food, and proceeded to the dining room to take my sweet toddler and lay him down for a nap. (Then I would be "free at last").
What I saw instead was Daniel, happily pouring an entire, very full, bottle of syrup all over the dining room table…..
How could that face ever cause anyone a problem!?
I'll spare you the details, but an hour and twenty minutes later, and all people here having showered, I am finally sitting down.

Garden Flowers
It's always nice with a B&B to put fresh flowers into the rooms and around the house, and it is especially pleasing when the flowers are grown in your garden.
One of the great successes this year has been a sweet pea called "Lilac Ripple". They have been flowering for a couple of weeks now (grown from seed) and even after I cut nearly all the flowers from them after just a few days they are covered in blooms again.
This display in our entrance hall includes Scabiousa and Veronica flowers with the Sweep Pea.

Water reuse and recycling
The production in European greenhouse horticulture is not yet as water efficient as it could be. Soil-less growing systems are becoming common in horticultural practice in most of the European countries, although not in each country on a large scale yet. The advantages of soil-less growing systems compared to soil grown crops are as follows: [1]
Growth and yield are independent of the soil type of the cultivated area;
Better control of growth by use of improved water quality and a better fertilization;
Increased quality of products;
Pathogen-free start by use of substrates other than soil and/or easier control of soil-borne pathogens.
The disadvantages of these systems are:
The required high quality of water;
High investments and high costs for fertilizers;
Low quantity of the water.
In most cases open or run-to-waste systems are adopted. In such open systems, superfluous nutrient solution freely leaches to ground and surface water. Because of economical motives and environmental concerns closed soil less systems can be applied. These closed systems are more efficient with the use of water and fertilizers, and cause less damage to the environment. The disadvantage of the closed systems is the risk of a rapid dispersal of soil-borne pathogens by the recirculating nutrient solution. To eliminate these pathogens, several disinfection methods can be used:
Ozone treatment
Ozone treatment can be used to disinfect the drain water [2]. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in the world and its function is to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors. An ozone supply of 10 g/h/m3 water with an exposure time of 1 h is sufficient to kill all pathogens [3].
UV disinfection
Another way to disinfect the drain water is the use of UV-radiation [2]. Ultra-violet radiation (or UV) is a proven process for disinfecting water, air or solid surfaces that are microbiologically contaminated. For eliminating bacteria and fungi an energy dose is recommended of 100mJ/cm2. For viruses a dose of 250 mJ/cm2 is recommended.
Heat treatment
When heat treatment is applied, a solution is heated for about 30 seconds to a temperature of 95˚C. At this temperature all pathogens are killed[7]. A disadvantage of heat treatment is the consumption of gas. Also warm drain water contains less oxygen.
Slow sand filtration
For several years commercial growers have used a slow sand filtration installation to eliminate pathogens. [4] [5] [6]

Now that you've added the new cost code(s) and updated the cost type assignment(s) in the Admin tool, you'll need to send those changes to the ERP Integrations tool so it can be reviewed by an accounting approver.

It's been an offseason of surprises in Miami, where the Heat's roster looks much different than it did a couple months ago.
After months of posturing over whether or not the team would be willing to offer Hassan Whiteside the max, Miami relented, holding off aggressive rival suitors to re-sign the star center to a four-year deal. However, several days later, the Heat lost their other key free agent, longtime star guard Dwyane Wade, when he decided to head to Chicago. With Wade no longer on their books, the Heat turned around and matched Tyler Johnson's pricey four-year offer sheet from the Nets, an outcome that likely surprised even Johnson.
The Heat also got one of the bargains of the summer when they signed Dion Waiters using their room exception, but the addition of Waiters – along with veterans like James Johnson, Wayne Ellington, and Luke Babbitt – raises questions about the club's plan for 2016/17.
Will Miami hand the reins to young players like Whiteside, Johnson, Justise Winslow, and Josh Richardson, and start looking ahead to the future? Or is this still a team focused on immediately contending with the help of its veterans?
The status of Chris Bosh could go a long way toward determining the Heat's future, at least in the short term. If Bosh can return to the court, the club will have its eye on the playoffs and on the 2017 free agent market, where it could pursue an impact player to complement Whiteside, Bosh, and the team's other core players. If Bosh is deemed medically unfit to return, the Heat may shift into retooling mode. Of course, even with Bosh on the floor, it doesn't look like Miami has enough talent to seriously challenge LeBron James and the Cavaliers in the East.
Complicating matters is Russell Westbrook's recent extension with the Thunder — if the Heat were already looking ahead to the 2017 free agent period, Westbrook likely would have been atop the club's wish list. Instead, he no longer looks like a viable target until at least 2018.
What do you think? How do you think the Heat should move forward? Should they shift into retooling mode, allowing their young players to take on larger roles? Or should the team still be exploring the trade market and looking ahead to next summer's free agent market in an effort to make upgrades and compete immediately? Are those two scenarios even mutually exclusive, or is there a way for the club to do both?
Take to the comments section below to share your opinions on the Heat. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

As promised, here is the continuation of my post regarding the unique birthday treat for myself.
We didn't plan to visit the exhibition at Al Jahili Fort on the said date. It was a spur of the moment decision of yours truly. Since it was my natal day, nobody dared to argue. Hubby, JM and Joel were all cooperative. They all knew that I have a thing for museums and history.
About an hour before the exhibition space built next to Al Jahili Fort close its doors for the tourists and visitors, we had a walk around at the ultra modern museum. Looking at the exterior, nobody will think that the interior is exceptionally beautiful and uniquely built with good ventilation. At the entrance, we were guided by some of the employees of ADACH. Tickets were issued to us although there's no entrance fee. I believe that the tickets were given to count the number of visitors.
I was about to start walking around the museum when I noticed this tray with tea cups, teapot and date fruits in one of the corners of the entrance. For nearly six years of living here in the Emirates, I have learned that offering of tea and date fruits to visitors are part of Emirati hospitality.
These boxes caught my attention when I started walking around at the museum. I learned from Mr.Ali Saleh that these were used in the 1950's to 1960's when there was no museum in Abu Dhabi. All finds that were excavated by the archeologists were packed into boxes and shipped to the museum in Denmark for conservation. In 1971, most of the archeological finds were returned to the UAE after the opening of Al Ain National Museum.
For someone like me with such great interest in Emirati history, I have been to several forts, museums and parks where history can be unfold. I remember asking one of the employees if the things and tools inside the housed glass were replicas or the real ones. I find the replicas of Hili Grand Tomb and the Hafit grave amazing. These are the rest of the photos. Enjoy!

A year ago, I have been to Al Ain National Museum and I have seen a lot of artifacts and archeological finds on display especially the ones from Umm an-Nar culture. For anyone wanting to know the history of Abu Dhabi, this ongoing exhibition is one of the places to visit, but if you want to see more, I suggest that you should head on to Al Ain National Museum located in the heart of the city. If you wish to see the Hili Grand Tomb, Tombs E and N and the other old settlement, head on to Hili Archeological Park located at Al Hili District.
By the way, "The Dawn of History" Exhibition runs through until May 2, 2011. The museum is open from 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM except Mondays and from 03:00 PM to 05:00 PM during Fridays. For information regarding the said exhibition, click here if you wish to be taken to the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage webpage. Special thanks to Mr. Ali Saleh for answering some of my questions.

We're all excited for the arrival of what will
possibly be the year's biggest title, Fallout 4. It's going to dominate headlines for months, maybe even years. There's nothing that will keep us from gluing our butts to the couch in order to enjoy nonstop Fallout fun. There may be a few things, however, that will keep you from gluing yourself so soon. Every game comes with its issues and these four just might prevent folks from playing Fallout 4, at least when it launches.
It's well-known Bethesda games have been plagued with glitches and bugs so it should be expected Fallout 4 will have its fair share of problems when released. They may make for silly and entertaining GIFs, but bring down the quality of experience. Fallout 3 had areas of the game that could only be fixed via DLC and New Vegas had bugs swarming all over the place. We're hoping Fallout 4 won't have these problems, but giving the game a few weeks to a month should allow Bethesda to release any bug-squashing, glitch-fixing patches.
This is sort of a toss-up. While it may be well-worth the bottle caps, it might not be within everyone's range. At $59.99, it's average for the usual blockbuster title, but the timing couldn't be worse. With the holidays right around the corner, vault dwellers around the world will have to scrape by if they're going to buy the game as well as presents for others. If you're in a pinch, try searching for any holiday deals. The only other option would be waiting for a price drop, but that could take awhile. You can always take a seat on Santa's lap and just whisper sweet "Fallout 4" in his ear. He'll give you the hook-up.
New Editions
You know there's going to be some pretty kick-ass DLC coming to Fallout 4, but it won't be for a few months. Plus, with such an open-world and new features to play around with, we may be waiting even longer for DLC. You'll end up paying for each individual pack, whatever it (the price) may be. If you're even physically able to hold out on Fallout 4, though, you might as well wait for some kind of all-in-one deal. Master Edition and Game of the Year Editions of the game will appear on the market, but it'll take some time. At least with these you won't be paying more and more for the game. Wait for special editions or content bundles and the entire game, DLC included, comes with it.
This point won't effect everyone all at once, but buying the game for PC and Xbox One allows players to play with fan-made mods. Fans often come up with their own fantastic storylines for games and let others check them out. It's a great way to keep replaying the game, but it wouldn't be available as soon as the game is released. It'll take some time for creators to come up with content and fiddle with all the new features, develop their stories and implement graphic overhauls. Plus, it's not been determined if players will have to pay for different modifications. Bethesda started testing the waters with Skyrim, but negative reactions caused them to pull back. Mods are a great way to get more for your money, but until those mods are created, there's not as much incentive for dedicated mod-players to check it out yet. Of course, there's plenty to do without them in the time being.
Let's face it, you're going to buy Fallout 4 regardless of this list. It'll be available November 10 for PS4, Xbox One and PC and will basically be the only game you need for years. We're expecting many fans to call out of work for the remainder of the month. Good luck, have fun and hopefully you won't be running into many problems.


text: The 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and 2014 Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition may be the best driver's cars out there. And on this episode of Head 2 Head, host Carlos Lago takes the two high-powered rear-drive coupes to the test track and canyons to find out which one is the better sporting instrument.Both cars feature active dampers and active differentials. They are also similar in length and height, though the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R is nearly three inches wider. The Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition is powered by a rear-mounted naturally aspirated 430-hp 3.8-liter F-6 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R is powered by a front-mounted 550-hp supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 mated to an eight-speed automatic.At the track, the more powerful (and heavier) Jaguar F-Type Coupe R is faster to 60 mph (3.6 seconds vs. 3.9 seconds) and through the quarter-mile (11.8 seconds at 122.3 mph vs. 12.2 seconds at 115.4 mph) than the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. The Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition did, however, stop shorter from 60 mph (101 feet vs 106 feet) and posted better handling numbers (skidpad: 1.00 g vs. 0.94 g; figure-eight: 24.3 seconds at 0.83 g vs. 24.4 seconds at 0.82 g).Next, Lago takes the two sports cars to the canyons to see how they behave on the streets. The sounds emitted by the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R are unmatched. Despite how powerful the engine is, the driver is always aware of the big cat's weight. With its lighter weight and rear-mounted engine (that improves forward visibility), the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition is easy to drive.Check out the video above to see which car wins this Head 2 Head.

Shibu all set to become Jharkhand CM with BJP support
JMM supremo Shibu Soren was today all set to become the Jharkhand Chief Minister with the support of BJP and AJSU.
Ranchi: JMM supremo Shibu Soren was today all
set to become the Jharkhand Chief Minister with the support of
BJP and AJSU.
65-year-old Soren staked his claim before Governor K
Sankaranarayanan to whom he handed over a list of 42 MLAs--18
each from JMM and BJP, five from All Jharkhand Students Union
and one from Jharkhand Janadhikar Manch led by Bandhu Tirkey--
in the 81-member Assembly.
"We have the required majority to form the new
government," Soren, who was twice chief minister of the tribal
state, told reporters.
"We have given the letter of support to the JMM to form
the government under the leadership of Shibu Soren," BJP
legislature party leader Raghuvar Das told PTI after a meeting
of party MLAs.
Soren was accompanied by Das and AJSU legislature party
leader Sudesh Mahato to Raj Bhavan.
The JMM chief told the Governor that he had the required
majority to form the government, which would be the seventh
dispensation in over nine years after the state`s creation.
Asked whether BJP would join the government, its Vice-
President Karuna Shukla said, "We have just given a letter of
support to JMM chief Shibu Soren. We will decide after the
Governor invites Soren to form the government."
To a question about the two MLAs of JD(U), an ally of the
BJP, former chief minister and BJP leader Arjun Munda said the
JD(U) legislature party would meet after which its decision
would be conveyed to the BJP.
In the fractured verdict in the assembly polls, Cong-JVM(P)
combine secured 25 seats, followed by BJP-JD(U) alliance (20),
JMM (18) and AJSU (5).
Known popularly as `Guruji`, Soren resigned as chief
minister in January this year after he was defeated in the
assembly by-poll from Jamtara.
As no combination came forward to form a government, the
state was placed under President`s rule on January 19.
Sporting a flowing beard with the looks of a godman, Soren
has been beset with controversies in his more than four
decades of political career.
Born January 11, 1944 in Nemra village of Hazaribagh
district (now in Ramgarh district), Soren had to cut short his
education after his father was allegedly killed by
Soren became the Chief Minister of the mineral-rich state
following intense manoeuvering after his party backed the UPA
to help it sail through the trust vote in July 2008.
He joined the Union Council of Ministers in May 2004 but
had to resign within two months after a warrant pending
against him in a three-decade-old case surfaced. The case
related to the Chirudih massacre in which 11 people including
nine Muslims were killed.
The tribal leader, who was in the forefront of the fight
for carving out a separate Jharkhand state from Bihar,
returned to the Union cabinet in October 2004, and remained in
the government till March 2005 when he became Jharkhand Chief
Minister. But, he failed to prove his majority in the assembly
and had to quit the post.

I don't know what this will be about but if The Sims 3 has taught me anything it is that if I just constantly blog and blog and blog I'll get followers and they will give me money. Eventually, I'll sell this blog and maybe get a career in Medicine where I'll start as an Organ Donor and become a World Renowned Surgeon - no qualifications or training necessary. I'm already an organ donor, not full time, but it is a start.

All those who hate household chores, please stand up.
No, I'm not alone.
Millions of us routinely procrastinate everything from dealing with dirty dishes to dumping the trash to scrubbing the mold off the bathroom tile.
Dusting? Toilets? The archaeological dig required if we're to approach the black hole beneath our kids' beds? The endless loads of laundry?
And where exactly does "more sex" fit into this picture?
The Dreaded Household Chores
Eventually, we confront the mess or pay someone to do so, to the extent that we cannot strong arm children and spouses to do their fair share. Or so it seems in most American homes, if we read between the lines in "The Case for Filth."
I had to chuckle reading about this marital battleground, as Stephen Marche describes the usual gender division of labor, but notes
Women today make up 40 percent of America's sole or primary breadwinners for families with children under 18, a share that has quadrupled since 1960. And yet in America as well as in several other countries in the developed world, men's time investment in housework has not significantly altered in nearly 30 years.
The irony… I married a man who knew how to clean, and did – when he was around. Kitchens and garages seemed to be his specialty. He was also handy around the house. A regular Mr. Fix It. And I felt grateful.
But I also felt guilty, though I was perfectly aware that in addition to working a 50+ hour/week corporate job, I was responsible for virtually all the parenting duties, the cleaning basics, shopping, cooking – and everything else that falls to the "traditional" wife and mother. But let me be clear, I was never a domestic goddess; I couldn't have cared less about dust and dog hair until things reached a certain level that went beyond "not gross."
And it was years before I realized my now-ex chose to do the cleaning that was important to him, and to a degree, meditative… Faraway look, mind churning…
My duties?
Nothing meditative about them, that's for sure.
Why Men Doing Housework is Good for Your Relationship
Ironically, as I was reading this particular column, the man I'm seeing was cleaning my fridge. And only hours before, he'd rendered my bathroom sparkling. Last night he did the dishes, which is something I don't mind doing. However, because of the bending and reaching and elbow grease involved in certain kinds of scrubbing – due to a nagging injury – the tasks he took on are uncomfortable for me. The assist was incredibly kind.
As for laundry? Occasionally he helps with that, too. And yes, he cooks. And we also cook together.
Do you think that shiny bathtub went unappreciated? Do you think during marriage, had there been more division of labor, more unsolicited acts of assistance, more willingness to help – those deeds wouldn't have been received with a smile and a certain amount of mutually agreeable appreciation?
Not to mention, an equitable distribution of the workload – however you perceive that – means an overworked mother is going to be less tired. Aren't we more in the mood for sex when we're not resentful? Aren't we more in the mood for sex when we're not exhausted?
Fairness and Intimacy
Naturally, it isn't just about sex. But however you package up aspects of a relationship, for many, greater emotional intimacy leads to greater sexual intimacy. This also means that if women are extraordinarily picky (or critical) about how the housework is done, they shouldn't be criticizing and ragging on their partner who is genuinely trying to help. (Note to self: Don't fuss over style differences in loading the dishwasher.)
And while you could say that if it means a great deal to you to have the laundry folded "just so" or the dusting done daily, then go ahead and do it yourself – isn't the take-away that we should lighten up on the need for everything to be spic and span? Allow a guy to assist, and dare I say it – insist on what you determine is equitable.
When he's not willing?
Negotiation is better than harping. Passive-aggressive behavior is bad news, and we know it's the result of conflict that isn't openly expressed. We should all be willing to give a little to get a little, looking for whatever arrangements feel fair.
As for the gentleman who took to the tile with sponge and determination, he knows the tight timelines I work with. He's weary of my weariness, with a schedule that leaves me frequently out on my feet – even as I cruise from one task to the next into the wee hours.
From Filth to Foreplay
While the article in question does offhandedly refer to chores as foreplay, isn't that both sad and true?
I may not be typical in my tolerance for mess – so many years on my own with kids and a dog inured me to most of it, and an organized mind helped offset the rest – but I do understand the need for equitable and non guilt-driven division of labor when it comes to life à deux…
Sure, I have my point of no return at which the mess stress turns toxic, and I find myself in a cleaning frenzy until some small measure of order has been restored. Yet I can't help but grin as I read the Times conclusion that when faced with this 'political' problem in the gender wars, women would be wise to care less and do less.
Those stay-at-home dads I mentioned recently? I bet they're marvels with the mops and warriors with the wash.
Even so – dishes stacked and waiting for a day, floors that aren't vacuumed for a week, shelves that languish under a layer of dust, and shirts that haven't seen an iron since you did your taxes will not ignite the end of domestic bliss as we know it.
Then again, when our partners man up without request, even if they pick and choose which chores they'll take on, if one involves a clean tub, there just may be time for an interactive bubble bath, with all devices in the 'off' position.

We received our DVD in the week. Just wanted to thank you for everything. Everyone loves our album and are very impressed with it. It will certainly be something that is treasured.
Just back from honeymoon had a great time on the wedding day and holiday. Just viewed the fantastic photos you took on our day we both think they're terrific and captured some very special moments and a lovely day. Thanks for all your work on the day Wayne you did us proud. Be in touch soon.
Been meaning to drop you a note to thank you for your work on Sunday. The pics look great and your service was too. We'll be calling you if there is a wedding in the future!
Absolutely wonderful!! I've just got home from a night shift, Emma told me to take a look at the album proof as she loved it. I love it too! Brought a "manly" tear to my eye. Full steam ahead for printing. Thank you so much for your patience, the end result is fantastic and we can't wait to see the album when it's printed.
Thank you so much for all your hard work on Friday. Both Becky and I had a fantastic day and you two both helped make it that extra bit special.
Lots of people have commented on how good our photographers were, and that you had a polite yet professional manner.
Thank you very much for dropping the wedding album off we are delighted with it.
Thanks again.
Received the package on Monday and we love the album and parent books they are super. Thank you for the disc with the digital files on.
Thank you.
May I just take this opportunity to thank you for taking the photo's of our wedding. We viewed them on the internet and thought they looked fabulous and have just received our Graphistudio album and think it is absolutely stunning. It was a great day topped off with great photographic memories.
Thank you very much.
My apologies for not writing earlier. Just wanted to thank you for your work you did with our daughter's wedding last August. Naturally, there is always a worry about choosing such an important role as the photographer but you managed to not only deliver but do it with style and such a personal touch. Since first meeting you at Wootton Bassett you were true to your word. You were reasonably priced and professional and it was a pleasure to deal with you.
It's great to meet people who feel passionate about what they do and have an inclusive approach. We are all very pleased with the albums and especially with your attention to detail. We wish you well for the future and know your business will flourish.
Again, may thanks and best wishes.
We would both like to express our thanks to you all for the fantastic job you did in capturing our special day so amazingly. We will be able to look back in years to come through the whole day told through a story of your photos.
Kind regards
Thank you so much for all your help on our wedding day. We both think the photos are fab and can't wait to get the album – if mum finally decides and approves what's in there!

Democratic Republic of Congo (2016 – present) Emergency Response
President Joseph Kabila's second presidential term is scheduled to end on 19 December 2016. However, the government is citing barriers to holding new elections, which implies an extension of his second term. The subsequent standoff between the Government in Kinshasa and the opposition has led to heightened political tensions throughout the country. In August 2016, Crisis Action mobilised an emergency response in anticipation of the political crisis escalating into violence and further human rights abuses against civilians.
In light of the political deadlock, which many warned could jeopardize the DRC's fragile peace and stability and result in grave humanitarian consequences throughout the region, Crisis Action is working with partners to prevent massive violence against civilians if elections dates aren't announced in the near future. To this end, we will seek to increase pressure on all parties, including on the AU facilitator for the national dialogue, to ensure the outcomes of the talks are acceptable to key opposition figures, and that they agree on a revised calendar for elections in 2017.
