Future Loss in Practice: Periodical Payments and Lump Sums
Future Loss in Practice: Periodical Payments and Lump Sums offers the first comprehensive treatment of the subject with a detailed analysis of the implications from both sides of the 'litigation fence'.
Product description
The new periodical payments regime is one of the most important reforms to personal injury practice of the past decade. The Government is determined that its use will be widespread. The courts now have the power to impose periodical payments orders for future losses, either in addition to or in substitution for lump sum compensatory awards. The reform has profound financial implications for claimants and compensators alike. Every advisor must be fully appraised to avoid giving negligent advice, and this book offers the first comprehensive treatment of the subject with a detailed analysis of the implications from both sides of the 'litigation fence'.
This handy text provides:
* A resumé of the basic tenets of compensatory awards
* Consideration of the conventional lump sum mechanism
* Detailed analysis of the reform itself
* Commentary on the indexation issues in Flora, Thompstone, and Corbett; and also on the Sowden, Crookdake and Crofton appeals with respect to care provision and local authority input
* Analysis of the procedure and practice of periodical payments; tactical merits and demerits
* Helpful case study illustrations of when periodical payments are appropriate, judged against taxation, benefits and funding considerations
* A useful final chapter offering a tactical appraisal, examining different areas of potential risk and suggesting practical solutions for claimants and compensators alike to limit their risk exposure
* Full appendices including, specimen pleadings, orders, statutory materials and authorities
* Judicial comment from Langstaff J and Master Lush
The book is an essential handbook for periodical payments. It provides expert practical advice specifically tailored to the needs of the judiciary, lawyers, financial advisors and compensators alike.

The Wildcats returned home today after a 13-day road trip. While they were away JayVaughn Pinkston hit his 1,000th point in the game against Seton Hall, and he was honored before tip-off commemorating his milestone achievement. However, for the bulk of the game, the spotlight was on sophomores Daniel Ochefu and Ryan Arcidiacono. The two combined for 28 points and carried most of the load on offense until the Wildcats established a sizable lead deep into the second half.
The game started off a little slow for both teams. A combination of poor luck and good defense led to missed shots and early turnovers, affecting both teams. A Josh Hart three pointer would give Villanova the 10-8 lead with 11:47 remaining in the first half. His three pointer fueled the crowd and got them going after being mostly quiet up until this point. However, the Blue Demons continued to scratch and claw their way to keep it close. The Wildcats would later be able to get some separation in thanks to a four point series by Ochefu that began with a beautiful dunk and then coming back shortly after with a layup. Arcidiacono would make the last shot of the half and the Wildcats would take a 33-24 lead over DePaul.
The second half was all Villanova, a team that has established themselves as a great second half team this season. Ochefu got the scoring started in the second half for the Wildcats with an and-one. He would finish with 14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks. It was the best game of his Villanova career thus far, and was great on both sides of the court. Arcidiacono would then score to give Villanova a double digit lead. The Wildcats' lead would never fall below double digits for the rest of the game. The duo would help the Wildcats to a 16 point lead, when Jay Wright would change up the floor in favor for a smaller lineup. Despite the comfortable, almost decisive lead with less than ten minutes remaining in the game, the Wildcats did not take it easy. They continued to pour it on the Blue Demons, expanding their lead to 20, before finally finishing the game 88-62. Towards the end of the game, it was a little chippy on the floor. Hart and DePaul's Brandon Young got into an altercation where elbows and words were exchanged, resulting in technical fouls being handed out. Ochefu also got into a verbal exchange with a DePaul player until referees stopped it from escalating and both teams would be warned.
DePaul's bench was not a factor in the game, only scoring eight of their 62 points. On the other hand Villanova's bench scored approximately a fourth of their points, combining for 24 points. The Wildcats also took good care of the ball, only turning it over five times for the whole game.
For Villanova, five players put up double digit figures for the second straight game. James Bell was the top scorer with 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. Arcidiacono and Ochefu each had 14 points to their names. Hart added 13 points including three baskets from long range. Darrun Hilliard had 11 points.
Villanova remains undefeated at home and in conference play. They will be tested when they play Creighton this Monday night in what will be a battle of top 25 teams.

What Exactly is Being Offered?
A book to get clear skin!
By correcting an imbalance in the body. Acne is a symptom of something deeper. Fix the root causes and your skin will no longer show the signs of inflammation.
This Includes:
Digestive – Correcting your gut is a main focus. This is not just about staying away from chips and chocolate. This is about eating foods that nourish the skin, balance stomach flora, clear inflammation, boost the immune system, remove candida, and control your body's natural oils.
Hormonal – Our hormones, predominantly insulin, androgens and cortisol stimulate the overproduction of sebum (our natural face oil) which can lead to clogged pores and inflammation. There is a way to control these hormones, such as through diet, reducing stress, exercising, breathing properly, and limiting toxins. There is also a guide on what to do when you stop taking birth control pills or in relation to acne caused by menstruation.
Skin Care – This is a simple one to fix. For some, the advice on skin care in this book may alone save you. Once you've discovered what you should be doing with your skin, you'll be amazed at how easily and effectively you can manage your skin with overwhelming results.
What Would It Feel Like to Be Confidently Clear of Acne?
Are You Sick Of:
♥ Seeing a friend's smooth clear skin and wondering, "Why me?"
♥ Counting the years go by where you still have inflammation?
♥ Not going out sometimes because you are embarrassed?
♥ Not being the confident person you want to be?
♥ Sick of being covered in pimples?
Did You Answer Yes?
Then your life is about to change big time. A lady has fixed her acne naturally. The way acne is supposed to be cured and can help you too!
A cure exists. Imagine knowing it?
The best acne treatment is NOT ABOUT taking wonder pills or putting harsh creams on your face.
If you're doing that – Don't. It's about correcting acne at the source of its cause.
And, it is found at the website TheLoveVitamin.com.
Where Tracy Raftl (the founder), has been featured on Cosmopolitan, Harvest Your Health, the Wellness Wonderland, and Paleo for Women for her efforts in the fight against blemished skin.
The Blueprint to Curing Acne is Found in this Book
This book is My #1 Recommendation. Why? First, it gives you an understanding of what acne is. How it starts, why it stays, why it gets worse….
Don't let your acne get worse… Please!
This book will change your life and your whole perspective of acne. But not only that (and most importantly) it will give you the formula to clear your skin!
|Other Acne Websites
|Free e-Book Available?
|Promotes Natural Solutions
|Definitely Not
|Tried and Tested Methods
|Low Cost, Economical
|Never (or very rarely)
|Added Benefits?
|No. Usually Side-Effects
|30,000 Subscribers and Counting?
|Informative Blog Posts
|Deliver on Promises Made?
|Actually Works?
|You Guessed it. No
|Do I recommend this?
|Of Course!
Seem Tricky?
No way!
This 200 page book is easy to download. Actually reading it is even easier. You won't be able to put it down because of the insight you'll be gaining. Besides it doesn't take long to read anyhow.
Then you simply can't wait to implement what you've learned. And, watch your skin heal itself, it's such an amazing process. Curing acne from inside out and from the outside in.
You actually want to start and stay that way when you begin seeing results. For most it's a matter of weeks, some a bit longer, for a lucky select few it is a matter of days. And remember, nothing tastes better than how having clear skin feels.
The Benefits?
♥ No More Acne!
♥ Skin that is clear but also glows!
♥ A feeling of pure health and a sharp mind!
♥ A happier you!
♥ Confidence, confidence, confidence!
♥ Moving on to bigger and better things!
Woah, How Much? That's Awesome!
Also included – 2 bonus videos! And, a 60 day money back guarantee.
How much is trying to get clear skin unnecessarily costing you a week already?
The creams, lotions, antibiotics, and dermatologist bills….The list goes on. Scrap all of that because it never ends and it never works!
The best part though? Considering the wealth of knowledge in her book, Tracy values it at $99.
But you can get it right now for $29. That's 70.7% off!
It works out to be $4.15 a day for the next week. You pay that for your coffee! Or, a dollar a day for the next month!
My Story
I suffered bad for skin years! I understand the pain and shame associated with acne. And, I'm happy to say I've overcome this plight and you can too.
I researched for years on what works and what doesn't. I did trials and tests on myself with varied results so I know first hand the foods and methods you should be doing.
My one single piece of advice is that let this book become your "bible". After you've finished reading it, read it a second time. And then read it again, and again. You too, can then become an acne expert!
If you have any questions, no matter how simple or silly you think they are, PLEASE post them below! By doing so you're helping others.

Please take a look at this video by a very dear friend of mine, Kaila Cox. She will show you a little about what it's like getting around in China on the bus. Unlike in America where one can just hop in the car and pop over at someone's place to meet, everything in China takes longer and something as simple as meeting for coffee can be quite a process.

'The Twilight' community-owned theater and auditorium celebrates its one-year anniversary with George Ryan as General Manager.
August 2018 marks the one-year anniversary for General Manager George Ryan of the Twilight Theater in Greensburg.
The Twilight is a community-owned theater and auditorium originally built in 1917 then rebuilt in 2015 by the donations of the citizens of Kiowa County, after the 2007 tornado destroyed it.
"This theater would not be possible if it weren't for the generosity of the people of Greensburg, businesses and corporations that shared in that vision," Ryan said.
In his time as manager, Ryan has reduced spending for the theater almost $10,000 since its original budget when it opened in 2015. Back then, it took $25,000 a month to run the Twilight, in 2016 $28,000 and 2017 $18,350 and 2018 $15,300 a month so far this year.
"The theater is still running a deficit of $5,175 a month," Ryan said. "The reality is though that income for operations right now averages a little over $10,175.00 a month."
Ryan's plan for making up that difference includes increasing sales, sponsorships and corporate donations, screen advertising, personal donations, memberships and the annual gala.
The Twilight Theater board hired Ryan to work 25-30 hours a week, but he has learned it takes a lot more than that to run the theater, so he volunteers an additional 25 hours each week to get everything done.
He and his wife, Serena, are members of the theater and bought seats to support the theater and sponsor a movie each year.
Ryan started in the theater business when he was in high school in New York. He worked in a 1,700 seat single-screen theater, learning hospitality and responsibility. He said the most rewarding part of his job is passing his skills on to the young people who now work for him at the Twilight.

Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high.
Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect her own secret, the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life.
It took me a looong time to get into this book. I liked the world and all the details but I wasn't immediately amazed. Only about halfway through, I started feeling invested.
In short, this is the story of a girl who is stuck between two sides, the dragons and the humans. There has been a peace treaty for years but there are groups on both sides who want that treaty to fail. Seraphina works as a music mistress in the palace, she is super talented but she doesn't have any friends because she has a secret no one can ever know about. She doesn't let anyone close enough to figure it out.
Even though it took me some time to find my way, by the time I finished this book I didn't want it to end. Just because I felt like the story had only just begun, like over half of the book was just introduction and then when it got interesting, it was suddenly over. I felt a bit cheated.
I must say that Rachel Hartman is a master of detail. She created a world with different languages, different countries and a law system to accompany the peace treaty. I respect that, it must have taken a lot of hard work and a lot of creativity. Also, she fooled me completely. I'm not usually fooled but this time she arranged the background so beautifully that I fell for it. If you read this book, you will know what I'm talking about. I don't want to spoil it for you.
I was torn between 3 or 4 stars. I loved the end of the book but I needed more. That's why I hope there will be a sequel soon. There is so much left to write about, it would be a shame to let it go to waste. Building a whole world like that and then not explore it. I wanted more of the romance, I wanted more of the conflict and the possible characters who, in the end, didn't get a voice. So for now, I'll give this book 3 stars, not because it was a bad book but because I was disappointed by the amount of story we got. Information and story should be balanced carefully and that wasn't the case here, unfortunately.
If you like fantasy books, you probably already read this. If you haven't, then I do recommend it. I'm sure this series (if it is going to be a series) will only get better!!
UPDATE: Just found out that the sequel is now available! More information about Shadow Scale can be found here.
I will not change this review because it honestly reflects my thoughts after reading this book.
Did you read Seraphina and if you did, did you like it?
Or maybe more importantly did you read Shadow Scale and is it good?

|All individuals infected with H. pylori will show histological gastritis. But only a minority will develop clinically apparent symptoms or signs. [1]
|Acute and chronic gastritis will cause non specific dyspeptic symptoms[1]
|Nausea, vomiting, abdominal fullness and abdominal pain occur due to inflammation of proximal and distal gastric mucosa. It is associated with the hypochlorhydria [1].
|Peptic ulcer disease when uncomplicated causes epigastric pain, other dyspeptic symptoms. Complicated symptoms due to duodenal ulcer are epigastric pain during fasting and relieved by eating or anti-acids [1,2]
|H pylori colonizes from the prepyloric antrum to the cardia. Clinical features vary on the pattern of chronic mucosal inflammation [2]. Life time risk of developing peptic ulcer disease in H. pylori positives is 3-10 times higher than culture negative population. [1] Infection of non acid secreting antral portion of the stomach (with sparing of the acid secreting body) induces inflammation of gastric mucosa and stimulates the gastrin release which in turn increases acid secretion. Therefore acid load coming to the duodenum increases, damaging the duodenal mucosa, causing ulceration and gastric metaplasia. [2],[3] In development of a gastric ulcer, both body and antral mucosal inflammation occurs to a similar degree. In gastric ulcer due to the severe involvement of body mucosa acidity can be decreased. [2]
|Ulcer complications such as bleeding, Perforation, stricture formation[1]
|H.pylori infection increase the risk of ulcer complications. [4]
|Atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and gastric cancer [1]
|Chronic inflammation caused by H. pylori causes loss of normal gastric mucosa and destruction of gastric glands. This is followed by replacement with fibrosis and an intestinal-type epithelium. This process is called atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. Chronic active inflammation pattern decides the risk for atrophic gastritis [1]. There is a strong association between H. pylori and gastric cancer especially non cardia gastric cancer. Patients who have both fundic and antral mucosal inflammation that causes mucosal atrophy or intestinal metaplasia have the highest risk of developing cancer. [3]
|Gastric MALT (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma [1]
|Normal gastric mucosa does not contain lymphoid tissue, but MALT nearly always appears in infection of H. pylori .[1] Risk of gastric MALT lymphoma highly increased (72-98%) by H. pylori infection. [5]
|Extra digestive manifestations - Ischemic heart disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disorders, functional vascular disorders, autoimmune disorders, chronic urticaria, liver cirrhosis and some diseases of the biliary tract. [6]
|This may be occur due to the fact that some H. pylori cytotoxic strains may induce local chronic release of cytokines, or vasoactive or procoagulant substances by immune cells in susceptible individuals. [6]
|Unremarkable physical examination.[1]
|Many of those infected with H.pylori are asymptomatic. [1]
|Weight loss [1]
|Not common, can occur if there is a gastric carcinoma due to H. pylori infection.[1]
|Anemia [1]
|Bleeding is a common complication in peptic ulcer disease[2]. Chronic blood loss from GI tract is a main cause for iron deficiency anemia[3].
|Upper GI bleeding is a common complication in peptic ulcer disease. [2] This may present as hematemesis or melena (passage of tarry black stools).
|Features of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO)[2]
|This can occur due to ulcer induced fibrosis but it is rare. If symptoms such as projectile vomiting, early satiety, bloating is present it should raise the suspicion of malignancy. Characteristic examination finding is a succussion splash. [2]
|Epigastric mass [1], [4]
|This may occur in gastric cancer, but it is a relatively late sign. [4]
|NSAID induced gastritis/ gastric ulcers [1]
|NSAID induced gastric ulcers also cause symptoms similar to H.pylori infection. It is the most common cause of peptic ulcer disease in those without H. pylori infection. Especially in elderly patients with a history of chronic NSAID use. [1]
|Pancreatitis [2]
|Epigastric pain develops rapidly in acute pancreatitis. Pain radiates directly to the back and is relived when leaning forward. [2]
|Cholecystitis [2]
|Pain occurs in right upper quadrant or in the epigastric area. Colicky, dull and constant pain which is aggravated by fatty foods.[2]
|Cholangitis [2]
|Shows a collection of symptoms called 'Charcot's triad', it consist of abdominal pain (epigastric or right hypochondrial pain), jaundice and fever with chills and rigors.[2]
|Gastroesophageal reflux disease[3]
|Shows symptoms of regurgitation, epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. [3]
|Myocardial infarction[4]
|Occurs with central/retrosternal tightening chest pain/discomfort which patients may describe as heartburn. [4]
|Lower lobe pneumonia[5]
|The patient is febrile with chills and a productive cough. If the pleura is involved pleuritic chest pain (sharp chest pain during inspiration) may occur. Up to 20% of patients may have gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. [5]
|Non invasive: Urea breath test [1],[2],[3]
|The test involves drinking 13-C or 14 - C labeled urea, which is converted to labeled carbon dioxide by urease in H. pylori. In the breath sample the labeled gas is measured[1]. Sensitivity and specificity of the test is more than 90% [1],[2]. It is used as an alternative gold standard test. It is a very useful and reliable test to evaluate the success of H. pylori eradication treatment. [3]
|Invasive: Histology [1],[3]
|Gold standard in routine diagnosis. It requires an endoscopy to obtain a biopsy sample. Specificity and sensitivity is >95% [1],[3]
|Invasive: Culture biopsy [1],[3]
|This is an alternative gold standard test. It can also provide information on antibiotic sensitivity. Requires an endoscopy to obtain the biopsy. Specificity and sensitivity is >95% [1],[3]
|Invasive: Rapid urease test[1],[3]
|A rapid and cost effective test. Endoscopic biopsy specimen is placed in a solution of urea and pH sensitive dye. However it requires an additional test to confirm the presence of H. pylori. Specificity and sensitivity is>90% [1],[3]
|Non invasive: Stool antigen test [1],[2],[3]
|Proton-pump inhibitors to be stopped two weeks prior, H2 receptor antagonists stopped 24 hours prior and antimicrobials stopped 4 weeks prior to the test. As these medications may suppress the infection and reduce the sensitivity of the test. [1] The stool antigen test is is not reliable to evaluate H. pylori eradication after therapy. [3] Sensitivity and specificity is 95% with good patient preparation. [2]
|Non invasive: Urea breath test [1,2,3]
|Reliable test to evaluate the success of eradication treatment of H. pylori but it has limited availability in some centers due to poor availability of equipment. [1,2,3]
|Non invasive: Stool antigen [1,2,3]
|Even though this is a simple, non invasive test it is not reliable enough for the routine evaluation H. pylori eradication therapy. [3]
|Non invasive: Serological test [1,2,3]
|Is a widely available, low cost test, however a positive result indicates past infection rather than an ongoing infection. Therefore it is not recommended for diagnosis of confirmation of eradication, but is used for epidemiology survey[1,2,3]. Sensitivity is 85% while specificity is 79%. [1]
|Advise on hygienic practices [1]
|Poor socioeconomic status, crowded living conditions and poor food hygiene have been identified as major risk factors for developing H.pylori infection. [1]
|First line therapy: Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) based triple therapy [1],[2]
|20mg Omeprazole twice daily + 1g amoxicillin and 500mg Clarythromycin or 400mg Metronidazole together with 250mg Clarythromycin for a duration of seven days. [1],[2]
|First line therapy: Ranitidine Bismuth Citrate based therapy [1],[2]
|Ranitidine bismuth citrate in dual therapy with Clarithromycin for two weeks. Advantage of using this regimen is that it is influenced less by antibiotic resistance than PPI based triple therapy. [2]
|First line therapy: Ranitidine Bismuth based non Clarithromycin therapy [1],[2]
|In this regimen Metronidazole or Tetracycline is used as the antimicrobials. [2]
|Second line therapy [1,2]
|In this regimen Levofloxacin 500 mg twice a day, and Amoxicillin 1 g twice a day, is combined with a PPI twice a day [1].
|Adjuvant therapy [1]
|If the regimens cause side-effects that affect patient compliance. Adjuvant therapy using probiotins such as Streptococcus faecium can be used. [1]

Career and Workforce Education Needs
Dual Credit Courses – Both academic and CTE (career and technical education) courses – must be widely available and affordable to students; reduce the time to degrees or certifications; improve higher education affordability; and be high quality and rigorous. CTE courses should not be conflated with general academic courses and all dual credit must be advised properly by trained and knowledgeable advisors/counselors, who understand both higher education expectations and state and regional workforce needs.
College, Career and Military Readiness Standards – Policy makers should understand and delineate the differences between students being ready to attend and succeed at a 4-year university or college and those being ready to attend and succeed at a technical school or community/junior college or enlist in our nation's armed services. Our college, career and military readiness (CCRM) standards should be updated, better defined, and career and military readiness should not be grouped into one standard – that of university/college preparedness.

Shimogakure (霜隠れの里, Shimogakure no Sato; ; Literally meaning "Village Hidden in Frost"; ) is the hidden village located in the Land of Frost.
The Land of Frost rose in the snowy foothills to the west of the vast region beginning to call itself the Land of Thunder, with a powerful village called Kumogakure. In response and fear of their land being taken over, the people of the land organized themselves, attracting the moderately powerful Yukidaruma Clan to their region, founding a ninja village they called Shimogakure.

By Damian Wyld
A few weeks ago, supporters like you helped us reach a big fundraising target in a very short amount of time.
The response was overwhelming — and the successful result helped the overall campaign effort reach millions more Australians with our message.
Since then, the Coalition for Marriage (of which Marriage Alliance is an integral part) has released several new TV ads, undertaken launches all over the country, and added significantly to its field campaign infrastructure.
We're tracking well, but we need to be mindful that this is a very long campaign — much longer than a normal state or federal election campaign. It still has weeks left to run since many of our fellow Aussies are yet to vote.
We will be working non-stop till the finish line, but to get there, we need your continued support.
Just this week alone, Marriage Alliance needs to set a minimum fundraising target of $400,000.
It's ambitious, but we really need to do it: these funds will be vital to key campaign elements, such as helping to get more TV airtime, and continuing to boost our field presence.
We must chase every single vote.
Knowing our critical need — and seeing what we were able to achieve with your help last time — another generous benefactor has stepped forward and pledged half our target already!
Let me restate that: a donor will contribute half of our $400,000 target this week if we can match the rest.
As you can imagine, our team is pretty excited by this!
Can you chip in $100, $250, $500 or any other amount to help us reach this goal?
I'm humbled by our supporters' generosity.
Marriage Alliance has more than DOUBLED its supporter base in the last eight months — but the growth in financial support has exceeded that figure multiple times over. (And thank goodness, because we've needed every cent to keep up this marriage campaign).
Supporters like you don't just understand what's at stake if we lose this vote — you also understand the odds we face.
We don't have governments and local councils funding us, or industry bodies, sporting codes and big multinational corporations falling over themselves to demonstrate their politically correct credentials.
It's astonishing then that in the face of all this we've mounted such a highly effective campaign. We know that since this campaign started, millions of Australians have changed their mind, and are now supporters of the 'no' campaign.
This didn't happen by accident: it is a direct effect of our community finally starting to discuss consequences.
We still have catching up to do, but when so much hinges on encouraging people to exercise their voluntary vote, anything could happen — hence the need for us to keep going.
Will you click here to help us reach our target and keep the positive momentum going?
I mentioned more TV ads earlier. One of the reasons we need your support this week is to get our new, much longer advert about consequences on TV.
You can view the new, longer TV ad online by clicking here.
Adverts don't come cheap at the best of times, much less longer ones like this, so you can see why we really do need your support.
Meeting our substantial fundraising goal – $400,000 this week – will help us do this and more.
We're running a marathon — it's true. But as we get closer to the finish line, we need your help more than ever.

Successful Web designing Procedures in Singapore
A website that attracts 100 or 1,000 visitors every day must be attractive as well as being attractive. To meet the digital standard of today, you need to work together with a top web development team.
There is no ideal technology today that applies to all websites or web development. It is often about combining different technologies to form a whole that works optimally for the users. It is always important to ask the right questions.
Looking For a 'Showcase Website'?
Some websites do not have to be more than a digital sign or digital business card. They just have to be there, neat eyes, contain the necessary information and good at web design Singapore. Often this involves the development of a one-page that contains the necessary information and the objective of attracting attention and generating conversions.
E-Commerce Plans
The goal of quite a few customers is to sell substantially more, and if possible online. Let's not fool you into vesicles: developing a new website does not necessarily sell much more. But it should be good at internet marketing Singapore: It must be ready to be able to do that. It should be ready to showcase your products and make them affordable.
Blogging or News Portal
Continuing to communicate with your audience or customers is the goal. And communicate in a targeted manner. The right message should go to the right people. With content that interests them. That fascinates them. Content that binds them to your company and website. Specialists also determine the CMS that makes it easy to publish content with the necessary additions. They also link these to the necessary social media plug-in.
Administrative Website or Internet
A website can also earn itself back not only by selling more, but by limiting overhead costs. Integration or linking with your existing CRM systems can ensure that dozens of lists with the same information do not have to be kept. Or that repetitive task should no longer be performed.
Choose open source!
In most cases specialist opt for open source software for building websites and web applications .
Advantages of open source:
- It is widely used, so you have the option later to switch to another service provider (no lock-in);
- No licensing fees, open source software is generally free;
- For widely used open source software, there is a large user community to share knowledge or use each other's customization;
- Because several programmers work on the software in a structured way, this improves the quality.
Project approach
In order to deliver a high-quality product, a project must be tackled in a structured manner. You can expect the following things within a project: Basis of every project is standardization. Specialist use development methods, frameworks, self-prepared guidelines and checklists to make this happen.
Maintaining Air conditioners in Singapore
The specialist advises individuals and companies at least 1 x per year air-conditioning maintenance to be carried out and, if necessary, to repair and clean. This has to do with the fact that air conditioners contain environmentally harmful refrigerants. During such maintenance, the air conditioning service checks the installation for leaks and operation, and the entire installation will be cleaned and inspected.
Is your air conditioning no longer working properly and do you suspect that a repair is needed? Then contact the reliable aircon repair Singapore, your air conditioning specialist. You can request a quote from them so that a professional can come and have the repair to your air conditioning expertly and quickly carried out. Not having your air conditioning repaired in time is not only unsafe; your energy consumption will also suffer greatly. You will notice this in the costs, repair is necessary!
Refill the airco
In addition to the standard maintenance, it is also important to periodically replenish the refrigerant of the climate control system. On average you lose about 10-15% of the coolant per year. The less of this means, the worse your air conditioning cools, and the more wear can occur. However, topping up the coolant is a task that you cannot carry out yourself. You should therefore also connect to an air-conditioning service in your area. The specialist can use the correct techniques and materials to open the air conditioning to fill the refrigerant. They are happy to help you.
Request quote
Does your air conditioning no longer work well and are you looking for an air conditioning specialist or air conditioning service where you can clean your appliance? Then you have to contact with best deal developer sales in Singapore. Contact them via the contact form available on their site and one of the specialists will contact you soon. Together with him you can go through your questions about repairs and he will give you an overview of the costs. Need a maintenance contract? You can also close that with them.
What can you do for maintenance yourself?
Some parts of the periodic maintenance that you can carry out yourself in order to prevent problems are:
- Checking the outdoor unit
To prevent your air conditioner from consuming excessive amounts of energy, or making weird noises during cooling, the outdoor unit should be free of dirt, dust and other obstacles. Check this regularly, and clean the unit.
- Cleaning the filters
This prevents dust and other unpleasant air elements from being blown inwards. Clean the filters by dusting or washing them, depending on the model.
- Cleaning the indoor unit
This is also important, because this prevents any mold on the device.

University Presentation
On Wednesday 30th November, some of the Opportunity Nottingham Team delivered a presentation/workshop at The University of Birmingham. The audience included a mix of local practitioners, Birmingham University students, and students from their partner university, The University of Melbourne.
The half-day session was titled Engagement - why bother? and considered the involvement of Beneficiaries in service development. Students were given background to the Opportunity Nottingham project including the aims of the project, and provided with some examples of our work including case studies. They were then asked to consider how they would involve people with multiple and complex needs in the design, delivery and evaluation of a new service. Discussions were facilitated by Beneficiaries of the project, and they each shared their lived-experience to enable the students to form strong and informed ideas on service design.
Feedback was excellent, with students highlighting the knowledge of the Opportunity Nottingham Team and insight from our Beneficiaries as being particularly impactful. We are now looking at rolling this training out to other institutions. If you would like to find out more, you can call us on 0115 850 4128.

Kevin Thomson: Middlesbrough release Scotland midfielder
- From the section Football
Middlesbrough have released Scotland international midfielder Kevin Thomson from his contract by mutual consent.
The 28-year-old has been plagued by injuries since moving to the Riverside from Rangers in July 2010, limiting him to just 56 appearances.
He broke his leg just a month after joining Boro and has also struggled with calf and hamstring problems.
Thomson, who has three Scotland caps, previously played under Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray at Hibernian.
While at Rangers, the Edinburgh-born player won two league titles, and also played in their 2-0 Uefa Cup final defeat by Zenit St Petersburg in 2008.

The great and supreme powers of ancient Egypt were the Gods and Goddesses of nature. The coming of the annual flood, the blossoming of the lotus, the rising of the brightest star in the sky, the disappearance of the moon, the eclipsing of the sun, the cutting of the wheat – all were occasions in which the Divine manifested on earth.
The religious life of the ancient Egyptians was marked by the celebration of the following kinds of sacred events:
- Festivals dedicated to a particular god or goddess which honored them through the public remembrance of their mythic lives.
- Festivals which honored the dead, bringing together a sense of the tribal community and the ancestral history and marking the cycles of time.
- Festivals which initiated the agrarian work cycles of preparing, sowing, and harvesting, as well as lying fallow.
In all probablity these seasonal festivals were determined by astronomical markers, such as the equinoxes, the solstices, and the rise of particular stars and constellations.
These were sacred events to which the Great Gods and Goddesses provided their blessings, for they were the manifestations of the cosmic cycle of nature. The will of the Gods was made known through the great pattern laid out in the sky by celestial phenomena.
There earliest festivals were those celebrating the mysteries of the Goddess in her appearance as the day and night sky, as both sun and moon. Most of the original ancient Egyptian feast days were celebrated at the new or the full moon. The ancient hieroglyph for "month" was the image of the moon itself. Apparently, the original festival calendar was lunar.
Of course, many Egyptian feast days are moveable feasts; that is, they are lunar festivals timed to phases of the moon. Thus, their occurrence might slip around from one year to the next. Other Egyptian festival dates were set by the motion of the stars, the planets, and the actions of the sun.
In any true sense it would be impossible for us to know the actual recurring dates of many of the festivals. We can, however approximate the ancient dates, which is what most Egyptologists do.
During the season of Inundation more major public festival occurred than at any other time of the year, most of them related to fertility rites and abundance rituals. The feasts tended to occupy the general public during this time because the land was so flooded that little real work could be done.
By comparison, the Sowing season had fewer festivals. Once the waters receded and work in the fields began, the Sowing season was the busiest time of year. The growing season was quickly followed by the Harvest season. But during the final months of the year, when the harvest had ended and the land was dry, the festivals began again, mostly in anticipation of the coming Inundation.
The festival calendar, as it appears to us now, spans three thousand years of Egyptian history and probably was being recorded, observed, and manipulated many thousands of years before that. In those three millennia a great many political and religious changes affected the designated feast days. Some feasts fell out of favor, others were renamed, a few were entirely forgotten.
From: Feasts of Light
"It's like New Year's Day for the dead." That's how Sherly Turenne sums up the celebration for Ghede spirits, led by Baron Samedi, god of death in Haiti's Vodun tradition.
He is anticipated with happiness as the protector of children, provider of wise advice and the last best hope for the seriously ill. Celebrated on Nov. 2, along with the Catholic All Souls' Day, Ghede (GEH-day) is also a day to remember and honor ancestors.
All boons granted by the Ghede must be repaid by this date or they will take their vengeance on you.
About the Ghede:
With a population of 8.5 million, Haiti is 90 percent Catholic and 100 percent Vodun (VOH-doon), a religion that accommodated the practices and principles of captives from Dahomey, Yorubaland, Congo and Angola who were brought to the island during the African slave trade.
The Dahomey/Yoruba term can refer both to the verb gede, to cut through, and igede, incantation, hinting at cutting through to mystery, in this case the mystery of death. Because the Africans combined the elements of their various geographical regions, there came to be in Haiti many Ghedes, several Barons and a creole term referring to a formal god, all referring to the dead and death itself.
Ghedes are part of the pantheon of gods known as Loa (Loh-WAH). Ghede then, as the ruler of death and embodying also the principle of resurrection, governs the preservation and renewal of life. He is sometimes also referred to with affection as Papa Ghede.
The Celebration:
People will put on their Sunday best, and go to church first thing in the morning to pray.
Then they will go home and put on the regalia of the ragtag Ghedes, as the spirits of the underworld are often called, or the elegant Baron Samedi (SAHM-dee) in his black, white and purple color scheme. An outfit can be as simple as a white blouse and skirt and purple neck scarf or can include a black top hat and tails, a baton or cane, a red bandanna or multicolored necklaces.
It is also common to wear makeup – painting half the face white with black around the eyes or even just dusting the face with flour. Once dressed, celebrants go to the town cemetery, where those who have ancestors there will clean the tombs of their loved ones and leave food for them in remembrance.
The spiritual adepts, the women called mambos and the men called houngans (HONE-gahn), joined by drummers and singers, will pray at a cross rising from a tomb, the symbol of Baron Samedi, summoning the spirits. And then the partying begins.
The seeming contradiction may be difficult for Americans to comprehend. The god of death, Baron Samedi nevertheless pokes fun at death and with his raunchy humor and suggestive, lewd dancing makes fun of the human passion that brings life.
A typical altar in honor of Ghede would include cigarettes; clarin, a Haitian white rum spiced with habanero peppers; a small white image of a skull; white, black and purple candles; satin fabric in the same colors; crosses; a miniature coffin; sequined bottles and a chromolithograph of St. Gerard, a saint associated with Baron Samedi. No altar would be complete without the requisite top hat and cane.
Preparing a feast
Oakland dance instructor Portsha Jefferson, whose great-grandmother was Haitian, has been celebrating the holiday for years, both at home and as part of a public gathering. She will prepare a veritable feast for her ancestors, including greens, yams, macaroni and cheese, corn bread, red beans and rice, cabbage, baked chicken and fried snapper, with sweet potato pie for their dessert.
She will begin her day by pouring a libation and offering a prayer in thanks and ask for their blessing. Her altar for Ghede will be refreshed with clarin and set with a vase of fresh flowers and a new white candle. Then she'll pack up her scandalous Ghede outfit, a black gown with silver and purple sequins that is slit on each side to midthigh, borrow the Baron's top hat and go to the community celebration, which she has been planning with partner Lee Hetelson.
It was started by the Petit la Croix dance company's Blanche Brown, who taught Haitian dance in the Bay Area for decades; Jefferson, who took it over in 2003, sends out an e-mail to adepts and dancers asking for volunteers.
"I have people set up on the day-of – decorations, constructing the altar, food preparation, hiring musicians, graphic designers for flyers, administrators for marketing," she said.
Community celebration
Many community celebrations feature special performances, costume contests, dancing and dance workshops, along with the opportunity to have fun. A Ghede feast is a chance for drummers to play and dancers to dance. It has become really popular, with people wearing Ghede's clothes.
The party also seems to have a spiritual impact on participants. "I've been surprised to hear that people – after dancing- it would lighten up their spirit or help them get through whatever problem they were having at the time."
In Haiti, preparations had been go on for weeks. At traditional worship sites, called hounfours (HOWN-for), devotees prepare the altar with drapo (flags or cloth) in black, white and purple, lay out Ghede's attire, and soak habanero peppers in vinegar or water to later be added to clarin for the drink few but the Ghedes can bear to swallow.
The food placed around the altar is very important. It is also important that all the things for other gods are put away. This is to make sure that all of The Baron's needs are there for when he comes.
Spiritual revellers wear white face paint and drink spicy rum during the two day festival. Devotees can be seen eating glass, carrying dead goats, and drinking from bottles of rum infused with fiery peppers at the spiritual bash.
The Haitians head to a sprawling cemetery in the country's capital of Port-au-Prince, where voodoo priests and priestesses gather around what is thought to be the nation's oldest grave.
A man dressed as a "Gede", or spirit of voodoo, greets people as they enter the cemetery
They then light candles and start small fires to recall the spirit of Baron Samedi the guardian of the dead.
The Day of the Dead festival takes place on November 1 and November 2, when voodoo followers remember relatives who have passed away and asks spirits to grant them favours or offer them advice.
Vendors set up in the cemetery and sell things such as rum, candles and rosary beads.
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 egg white
- 1 TBSP. corn syrup
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- colored icing
- 1 fine paintbrush
Sift powdered sugar. Mix the egg white, corn syrup, and vanilla in a very clean bowl, then add the powdered sugar with a wooden spoon. When almost incorporated, start kneading with the tip of your fingers until you can form a small ball. Dust with cornstarch on board. Keep on kneading until smooth, then form into skull shapes. Let dry completely, then paint with colored icing, including the names of the people you are giving them to.
In Italy, the sine qua non of All Souls' celebrations is a cookie called "Ossi di Morto," or "Bones of the Dead."
Here's a recipe:
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 10 oz almonds
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 oz pine nuts
- 1 TBSP butter
- A shot glass full of brandy or grappa
- The grated zest of half a lemon
- Cinnamon
- One egg and one egg white, lightly beaten
Blanch the almonds, peel them, and chop them finely (you can do this in a blender, but be careful not to over-chop and liquefy).
Combine all the ingredients except the egg in a bowl, mixing them with a spoon until you have a firm dough. Dust your hands and work surface with flour, and roll the dough out between your palms to make a "snake" about a half inch thick. Cut it into two-inch long pieces on the diagonal. Put on greased and floured cookie sheet, brush with the beaten egg, and bake them in a 330-350 oven for about 20 minutes. Serve them cold. Because they are a dry, hard cookie, it is good to serve these with something to drink.
There is a Mexican saying that we die three deaths: the first when our bodies die, the second when our bodies are lowered into the earth out of sight, and the third when our loved ones forget us.
Some believe that the origins of All Souls' Day in European folklore and folk belief are related to customs of ancestor veneration practiced worldwide. It is practically universal folk belief that the souls of the dead (or those in Purgatory) are allowed to return to earth on All Souls Day. In Austria, they are said to wander the forests, praying for release. In Poland, they are said to visit their parish churches at midnight, where a light can be seen because of their presence. Afterward, they visit their families, and to make them welcome, a door or window is left open. In many places, a place is set for the dead at supper, or food is otherwise left out for them.
In any case, our beloved dead should be remembered, commemorated, and prayed for.
During our visits to their graves, we spruce up their resting sites, sprinkling them with holy water, leaving votive candles, and adorning them flowers (especially chrysanthemums and marigolds) to symbolize the Eden-like paradise that man was created to enjoy, and may, if saved, enjoy after death and any needed purgation.
Today is a good day to not only remember the dead spiritually, but to tell your children about their ancestors. Bring out those old photo albums and family trees! Write down your family's stories for your children and grandchildren! Impress upon them the importance of their ancestors!
Traditional foods:
Around the world:
The formal commemoration of the saints and martyrs (All Saints' Day) existed in the early Christian church since its legalization, and alongside that developed a day for commemoration of all the dead (All Souls' Day). The modern date of All Souls' Day was first popularized in the early eleventh century after Abbot Odilo established it as a day for the monks of Cluny and associated monasteries to pray for the souls in purgatory.
Many of these European traditions reflect the dogma of purgatory. For example, ringing bells for the dead was believed to comfort them in their cleansing there, while the sharing of soul cakes with the poor helped to buy the dead a bit of respite from the suffering of purgatory. In the same way, lighting candles was meant to kindle a light for the dead souls languishing in the darkness. Out of this grew the traditions of "going souling" and the baking of special types of bread or cakes.
In Tirol, cakes are left for them on the table and the room kept warm for their comfort. In Brittany, people flock to the cemeteries at nightfall to kneel, bareheaded, at the graves of their loved ones, and to anoint the hollow of the tombstone with holy water or to pour libations of milk on it. At bedtime, the supper is left on the table for the souls.
In Bolivia, many people believe that the dead eat the food that is left out for them. In Brazil people attend a Mass or visit the cemetery taking flowers to decorate their relatives' grave, but no food is involved.
In Malta many people make pilgrimages to graveyards, not just to visit the graves of their dead relatives, but to experience the special day in all its significance. Visits are not restricted to this day alone. During the month of November, Malta's cemeteries are frequented by families of the departed. Mass is also said throughout the month, with certain Catholic parishes organizing special events at cemetery chapels.
In Linz, funereal musical pieces known as aequales were played from tower tops on All Soul's Day and the evening before.
In Mexico "Dia de Los Muertos" (Day of the Dead) is celebrated very joyfully — and colorfully. A special altar, called an ofrenda, is made just for these days of the dead (1 and 2 November). It has at least three tiers, and is covered with pictures of Saints, pictures of and personal items belonging to dead loved ones, skulls, pictures of cavorting skeletons (calaveras), marigolds, water, salt, bread, and a candle for each of their dead (plus one extra so no one is left out).
A special bread is baked just for this day, Pan de Muerto, which is sometimes baked with a toy skeleton inside. The one who finds the skeleton will have "good luck." This bread is eaten during picnics at the graves along with tamales, cookies, and chocolate. They also make brightly-colored skulls out of sugar to place on the family altars and give to children.
Collected from various sources
The pan de muerto (Spanish for Bread of the Dead or Day of the Dead Bread) is a type of bread from Mexico baked during the Dia de los Muertos season, around the end of October and the official holiday is celebrated on November 2. It is a soft bread shaped in round loaves with strips of dough attached on top (to resemble bones), and usually covered or sprinkled with sugar.
Another bread in the form of a sphere on the top represents a skull. The classic recipe for Pan de Muerto is a simple sweet bread recipe with the addition of anise seeds.
Pan de Muerto is sometimes baked with a toy skeleton inside. The one who finds the skeleton will have "good luck." This bread is eaten during picnics at the graves along with tamales, cookies, and chocolate.
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup (half a stick) margarine or butter, cut into 8 pieces
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup very warm water
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, unsifted
- 1/2 teaspoon anise seed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions: Bring milk to boil and remove from heat. Stir in margarine or butter, 1/4 cup sugar and salt.
In large bowl, mix yeast with warm water until dissolved and let stand 5 minutes. Add the milk mixture.
Separate the yolk and white of one egg. Add the yolk to the yeast mixture, but save the white for later. Now add flour to the yeast and egg. Blend well until dough ball is formed.
Flour a pastry board or work surface very well and place the dough in center. Knead until smooth. Return to large bowl and cover with dish towel. Let rise in warm place for 90 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Knead dough again on floured surface. Now divide the dough into fourths and set one fourth aside. Roll the remaining 3 pieces into "ropes."
On greased baking sheet, pinch 3 rope ends together and braid. Finish by pinching ends together on opposite side. Divide the remaining dough in half and form 2 "bones." Cross and lay them atop braided loaf.
Cover bread with dish towel and let rise for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix anise seed, cinnamon and 2 teaspoons sugar together. In another bowl, beat egg white lightly.
When 30 minutes are up, brush top of bread with egg white and sprinkle with sugar mixture, except on cross bones. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Today is the Feast of the Einherjar: The chosen heroes who sit in Odin's Hall are the Einherjar. Today we honor those dead kin who gave their lives for Family and Folk. If you have friends or family who died in battle, visit their graves today, if that is not possible, drink a libation in their memory.
- See also: Honoring the Einherjar
Note: Also called Fogmoon, this feast day is held on the nearest weekend to November 1st. A celebration of the war-dead and of Ragnarok, it is dedicated to Odin and Freya.
In the ancient Roman calendar, October was the name of the eighth month of the year. Its name comes from octo, the Latin word for "eight." When the Romans converted to a 12-month calendar, they tried to rename this month after various Roman emperors, but the name October stuck.
In Old England, the month was called Winmonath, which means "wine month," for this was the time of year when wine was made. The English also called it Winterfylleth, or "Winter Full Moon." They considered this full Moon to be the start of winter.
October Weather
A warm October is said to be a sign of a cold February. If leaves wither on the trees and fail to fall to the ground in autumn, it indicates a frosty winter with a great deal of snow, alternatively:
"If October brings heavy frosts and winds,
then will January and February be mild."
The October Moons
The full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox is called the Harvest Moon, and as such, it sometimes falls in October. This moon is also called the Blood Moon, Hunters Moon, Shedding Moon or the Falling Leaf Moon. Coming right before Samhain, it's a time when the nights are crisp and clear, and you can sense a change in the energy around you.
The Blood Moon takes its name not from blood sacrifices, but from the old custom of killing and salting down livestock before the Winter months made it impossible to feed them. Only the choicest stock was kept through the cold season.
Today we still subconsciously begin to make preparations for the coming Winter during this time. We check the antifreeze and tires for the car, gather up garden hoses, and make plans to winterize any drafty spots around doors and windows in the house. Some of us do and an ambitious fall cleaning.
October Magick
Throughout this month, festivals for the dead increase with the waning light, and late harvest festivals continue. The latter often include propitiation to ensure that the Goddess's abundance will keep people whole through harsh or barren times.
Magical efforts accentuated by October's characteristics include clearing away old, unnecessary things or habits so that our mind, body, and spirit are prepared for winter. Any spells for memory, especially commemorating loved ones, are apt. Beyond this, metaphysical efforts for health, luck, and debt paying seem common, ensuring that winter, the season of rest and death, will come and go with the least negative effect.
October Festivities
The Greek festival of Thesmophoria came every year in honor of Demeter and was confined to women only. This was a three-day rememberance of Kores return to the Underworld. At this festival the initiates shared a sacred barley drink and cakes. One feature of the Thesmophoria was a deterrent to offenders against the sacred laws against women. Priestesses read a list of the offenders before the doors of the goddesses' temples, especially the temples of Demeter and Artemis. It was believed that anyone so cursed would die before the year ended.
The first day of the Thesmophoria was the kathodos, a ritual where purified priestesses took sacrificed piglets deep into the chasm where the sacred inner shrine of Demeter was. They left the piglets there and retrieved the remains of the one from the previous year. The second day was Nesteia, during which the remains of the retrieved piglets were displayed on the altar. Courts were closed in honor of Demeter as law-giver. On the third day, the retieved piglets were sown into the plowed Earth as a symbol of Demeter's fertility aspect.
The Greeks also honored the god Hephaestus with an annual festival called Chalkeia.
In Tibet, the Buddhist Lent occured along with the Descent from Heaven festival which celebrated the end of the rainy season.
The Durga Puja in India honors the goddess Durga for four days beginning on the New Moon. It is a time of family reuntions, settling quarrels, and honoring the parents. In northern India this fesival is known as Dasahara. Durga is considered a matriarchal figure and is very popular with the people. She is shown with many arms and in bright colors.
The Lakshmi Puja, or Diwalii, is a fest of lights in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. It occurs right after the Durga Puja. During this Festival of Lights, lamos are everywhere, good things to eat are produced, and Hindu wives dance for their husbands. Lakshmi, wife of Vishnu, is considered the goddess of wealth and prosperity.
In the Pacific Ocean, the ancient Hawaiians celebrated a four-month long festival called Makahiki, beginning of the first Full Moon of this month. The god Lono had a special celebration of five days during this time, filled with games, pageantry, the hula, surfing, feasting, and tax collecting.
By presidential proclamation, Patriot Day is observed in the United States on September 11, or 9/11, in memory of the thousands who lost their lives as a result of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States that involved four hijacked planes. The observance also honors those who came to aid in the aftermath.
Each year on Patriot Day, the U.S. flag is flown at half-staff. Citizens are asked to observe a moment of silence, usually at 8:46 a.m. EDT (when the first hijacked plane struck the World Trade Center in New York City), and are encouraged to devote the day and year to serving their neighbors and communities.
From: Almanac.com
January 31 is Disfest or Disablot which is a day of sacrifice honoring the Disir. The Disir are all the female relatives from the eons of time that have passed over and over see as well as protect their living family members.
In some homes every candle and light is lit in the house to honor them. A sacrifice of the very best food and drink in the house is given to the Land Wights as well. It is a day of remembrance and honoring the females that passed over and to thank them for their loving protection.

We Made A Magic Fairy-Tales Calendar For An Animal Shelter In Pl
Community member
The idea of the fairy-tale calendar has germinated within us long time ago, but was still awaiting its moment. Thanks to the few witches from Korabiewice Animal Shelter, Pl, it has began to take shape in the beginning of the year 2017. First sessions took place in January, with the frost and temperatures below 20oC. The Snow Queen was running on the snow in her wedding togs, smiling through icy tears,while Kai & Gerda were jumping on top of the trailer of a small tractor that belongs to the shelter. The Little Match Girl was crying from cold but she never gave up.
During spring time all kinds of princesses sprinkled to life – starting with the one from seven dwarfs and finishing with the one that slept for ages… There also appeared Alladin with the cats and Polish style sandals with sockets, and Hansel & Gretel with the wicked witch. They were always accompanied by animals – dogs, cats, goats, pigs, horses and cows. The Little Red Riding Hood was running loose with the axe in the forest and the Swineherd was kissing the Princess in the middle of the historical Korabowiece's mud, from which it is hard to take your boots out. Rapunzel seized the stable's window and her knight was chasing steeds away from the visor filled with carrots. Instead of magic beanstalk there appeared a sprouting sweet potatoe in the fridge of our stylist Ania. The culmination of our project was our Korabiewice's Cindirella, who lost one of her wellies marching along with tiny goats in her breast pockets…
Never before I had such an occasion to experience such a huge dose of euphoric joy. Nothing could suppress our explosions of loughter and hundreds of ideas were jumping out of the hidden corners of our imagination. I think all of us, who were involved in this project experienced a great joy and have beautiful memories.
I wish the world was capable of becoming as happy as we were at that time. I wish all the happiness to the animals, in particular, to the ones that are waiting for its dream home…
The whole project was the result of work of the people who fight for the rights of the animals. All the work done was for charity. Help us to make this world a better place: you can buy this calendar here:

I say make it stay the same. What's the reason to increase it to 100? I think the chatbox feature is the best part of D3scene tbh and by raising it to 100, you'll have even less users (many people are going inactive including myself). I know many voted for the 100 rep change but this isn't about how easy it is to get rep and such. It's about a community and that chatbox is a huge feature.
Just dont let elders vouch. there no real need to change it. and as flash says bout the cb.. its a activety booster
If you have any questions about posting or selling your hack here. Read this link.
Raise it, but let the chatbox be aquired earlier?
The problem is that people see elders as trusted and able to vouch for cheats and such which they should be as its very easy to get. like i would have gotten elder 13 times. But as flash says, the chatbox is a big thing that should be enabled for more people.
@koshaan Yea I totally agree with making the chatbox acquired at like 50 while Elder is increased to 100.
Now to find a post of late, you have read to start this race!
The main reasoning behind this, is that malicious users acquire elder rank fast, and then scam the shit out of new people because people trust them because their name is green. People get boosted to elder in minutes with that thanks thing. And all they have to do is post some witty remark that has nothing to do at all with anything on a thread. It happens in the CSGO section all the time. They say stuff like "Oh shit son, detected leib hakens again, fix your shit or get wreked" And BAM. 50 rep from 50 thanks.
If people think a green name equals trust then a green name at 100 isn't completely useless.
Now to find a post of late, you have read to start this race!

I was up to Washington, D.C. yesterday for a work-related meeting, and got to enjoy a snowy day in the capital. It was beautiful, but did cause my flight home to be delayed a couple of hours. When we finally got on our plane at 8pm, the captain announced: "Thank you for your patience. We're not sure why we've been delayed, since we've been sitting here since 4pm, asking for a busload of passengers to be brought out to the plane."
Because of the delay, I missed the first class of the Oral History Workshop at the Friday Center. More about that next week.

The first major step in creating a socialist society took place in Czarist Russia where the Bolsheviks under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin overthrew the old dynastic rule and introduced the Soviet system.
by Dr. Nasir Khan
When the workers of all countries unite for the common cause of a creating a society where the capitalists and owners of the means of production do not control the lives and destinies of the 99% of human beings in the world, any such unity in Marxist thought is known as proletarian internationalism.
The goal of the struggle of the working masses including the peasants and landless serfs is primarily to defend themselves against the power and domination of the owners of means of production that they mostly use for augmenting their own wealth and upholding their privileges. The ideas about the unity of working classes to create a humane world has been the focus of theoretical and practical activities of generations of socialists since the founders of Scientific Socialism formulated their economic and political theories in the 19th century.
The first major step in creating a socialist society took place in Czarist Russia where the Bolsheviks under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin overthrew the old dynastic rule and introduced the Soviet system.
The success of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 was a catalyst for revolutionary activities of the working masses in many countries and also a clarion call to the colonized people to overthrow their colonial masters. As a result, anti-colonial struggles became a powerful force in many Afro-Asian countries. Many countries, big and small, succeeded in throwing off the yoke of European masters.
But in many instances the local ruling classes that emerged had their roots in privileged classes or groups. The struggle for political and economic exploitation became their sole interest. While such leaders plundered their own people and used the political system as a camouflage for furthering their interests, the plight of the poor people remained a non-issue for them. In any case, it is little consolation to the working class, poor or starving people that their "glorious" saviors and leaders have hundreds of millions of dollars stacked in secret banks accounts in Switzerland, France, Britain and America!
However, such exploitation and downright plunder is not incidental. It is endemic, and closely related to how the capitalist political and economic system works. As long as capitalism lives, such exploitation will have its sway. In the third world countries, the problem of institutionalized brainwashing coupled with the exploitation of religion and cheap deceptive slogans at the hands of the ruling elites will continue to play havoc with the people of many Afro-Asian countries.
No doubt, capitalism is wonderful for a few but a disaster for many. To address such issues, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels advocated socialist democracy and a socialist system in place of capitalism. To achieve that goal, political education of working class people is the first step and that education is part of the political activity that is expressed by the unity of the workers.
