RE: The nature of the Syrian regime
Two articles by Ben Taub in recent issues of The New Yorker magazine give information about the murderous practices of Syria's Assad regime and how these are tied directly to the higher-ups in Bashar Assad's government. The first, "The Assad files", appeared on April 18. Its focus is on one war-crimes investigator -- Bill Wiley -- who has compiled hundreds of thousands of pages of documents generated by internal offices of the Syrian government. These documents show orders being given from the very highest reaches, up to the president himself, to police and army units that deal directly with anti-regime activists. They document that the inhumane practices being carried out by the police and military, as well as bombing runs of the Syrian air force, are not the result of a "few bad apples" in the Syrian armed forces, but are the direct result of orders sent out from the center of the regime. Bombing hospitals, mutilating little boys, poison gas attacks, burning people with welding torches, hanging, electrocuting, etc. -- these are not accidents of a badly organized regime, but directly organized plans to practice terror against broad sections of the Syrian population.
The documents have been collected from two major sources: 1) defectors from the regime who previously worked in sensitive departments and gathered the information before fleeing Syria; 2) army and police headquarters buildings that have been captured by anti-regime forces and whose file cabinets yielded a treasure trove of documents. One of the main sources was Abdel-majid Barakat, a young man who was hired to process paperwork for Bashar Assad's Central Crisis Management Cell. This was a secret security committee set up by Assad in 2011 to coordinate a crackdown against the protests breaking out all over Syria and the Arab world. It was chaired by Mohammad Said Bekheitan, highest-ranking official in the ruling Baath Party, and comprised of high-ranking members of the military, security and intelligence agencies, and Assad's cabinet. This Crisis Cell met every evening and received reports from local areas about demonstrations against Assad; they then sent out orders to the local areas telling them how to respond. Occasional members of the Crisis Cell included Assad's vice-president and his younger brother Maher, the most aggressive advocate of violence against demonstrators.
Barakat's job was to write summaries of reports from local areas and deliver them to the Crisis Cell, then to copy and transmit orders. The Cell also transmitted minutes of their meetings to Assad, who would sign them and order implementation, sometimes with handwritten notes. No security decision, no matter how small, was done without Assad's approval. While doing his job Barakat also managed to copy certain documents and leak them to the world press, which eventually earned him the suspicion of higher-ups. In 2012, after being interrogated, Barakat managed to copy thousands of pages of documents and then escaped to Turkey with them.
Shortly afterwards, in June 2012 a meeting of the Crisis Cell was blown up by a bomb. Some of its leading members were killed, including its chairman, the head of the National Security Bureau, the minister of defense, and Assad's brother-in-law. At the time there were rumors of a coup, and it appeared that Assad's regime was about to collapse. Some top military and government officials, including the prime minister, defected to the opposition.
But Assad managed to survive by doubling down on his savage repression, doing what he could to disunite the opposition, and gathering international support from Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia. He didn't hesitate to use poison gas against the opposition, killing thousands of civilians with sarin, and according to recent reports still using chlorine gas. The opposition has been faced with many difficulties, but continues to hold the support of large sections of the Syrian population, who demonstrate their hatred for Assad whenever they can. The opposition also controls some territory including most of Aleppo, Syria's largest city, despite strafing and bombings from Russian and Syrian warplanes. Wiley and his team of investigators continue to gather documents and witness testimony from Syrians who have lived through the repression, and ensure that when Assad's regime does fall, he and his minions will not be able to find refuge in any country that pays lip service to international law. This will complicate things for the American government as it tries to arrange an Assad-style dictatorship for Syria, only without Assad; but that's their problem.
A second article by Taub, "The Shadow Doctors," appeared in the June 27 New Yorker. This article details the activities of a few doctors, especially those of Doctors Without Borders, to set up functioning hospitals in areas controlled by the Syrian opposition. When Assad's police and military began shooting peaceful demonstrators, this was a shock to the people of Syria, but their response was to hold even larger demonstrations demanding an end to the regime. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets and bravely stood up to the guns of Assad's henchmen. When the soldiers opened fire -- as they always did -- the result was scores of gunshot wounds. Their family, friends, and fellow demonstrators then tried to take their wounded comrades to local hospitals. But Assad's soldiers stationed snipers on the tops of hospitals and other area buildings, and they would shoot anyone trying to obtain medical treatment. This became a standard practice of the regime's forces: it wasn't enough to kill many demonstrators and wound many more, the soldiers made a practice of killing off the wounded -- and anyone who tried to help them.
For those who did manage to get into hospitals, their fate was often even worse, as Assad's soldiers would comb through the hospitals, arresting the wounded and dragging them off to be tortured and later killed. The article contains some grisly details of inhumane treatment meted out to such prisoners. Medical personnel who tried to help the demonstrators were also similarly targeted, with the result that very soon 95% of them had fled Syria to neighboring countries.
Stepping into the gap in medical care, foreign doctors have been working underground with Syrian doctors to set up "shadow" hospitals. These are inconspicuous buildings -- sometimes just private homes -- where opposition activists and other civilians who have been injured could obtain medical care. For awhile, as the opposition consolidated control over quite a bit of territory, these hospitals began to function quite regularly. They were chronically short of drugs and equipment and medical personnel, but by spreading training around they were able to deliver a lot of medical care to those in need. This was sorely needed, as Assad's forces began using artillery, aircraft bombing, and poison gas. Helicopters of the regime would regularly fly over rebel-held territory, rolling out barrel bombs over markets, schools, and hospitals.
Specialists in trauma care trained Syrian doctors and nurses how to care for gunshot and shrapnel wounds, and these in turn trained assistants at the various local hospitals. The doctors worked with LCCs -- Local Coordination Councils -- of the opposition but were trained to help anyone in need. Their job was complicated by the rise of pro-ISIS fundamentalist forces, which targeted medical personnel just like Assad's forces did. But the article points out that, while the fundamentalist fanatics have killed a few score medical personnel, Assad's forces have killed over 700.
The article focuses on David Nott, an English surgeon working with Doctors Without Borders, who spent time in Syria providing care by day and training other doctors at night. Using video equipment, Nott and his fellow doctors were able to spread medical knowledge through the areas controlled by the opposition. Today Nott is back in England, but he still consults with Syrian doctors by way of cell phone. He maintains close contact with some Syrian doctors who have refused to leave the country despite the savage repression carried out by Assad's regime. The latest setback to these "shadow doctors" was the bombing campaign carried out by Russian warplanes. Their intelligence was able to locate numerous shadow hospitals and begin a bombing campaign against them. Just since early June a number of shadow hospitals in Aleppo have been destroyed, while others have been hit and are barely able to function.
Still the "shadow doctors" continue their work of bringing a little bit of humanity to Syria. Their savage persecution by Assad's forces emphasizes the need to rid Syria of this murderous regime. []

Artichokes, Historians believe the Artichoke originated in the Mediterranean countries, possible Sicily or Tunisia. From the 16th century to the end of the 20th century, the Artichoke was made a gourmet item in Paris, France. The Artichoke was thought to have been an aphrodisiac during the 16th century. In fact, consumption of this rare vegetable was reserved only for men for it was thought to enhance sexual power.
The word Artichoke comes from the Arabic word al-qarshuf. The name passed into Spanish during the Middle Ages. The Old Spanish word alcarchofa was variously modified as it passed through Italian. The name articiocco was then modified in English, once introduced to the English.
The Artichoke was introduced to California by the Spanish during the nineteenth century. During this time, many Italian immigrants settled in the coastal city of Half Moon Bay. In the 1950's, Artichokes earned fame in the state of California, thus giving the status of the official vegetable for Monterrey County. Today, California provides nearly 100 percent of the Artichokes of the United States Crops.

If you've ever had the misfortune of googling 'personal development', you will find pages after pages of websites which will make you more confident, outspoken, fearless, achieving, happy and the list goes on. Most of these websites carry listicles which will tell you 30 ways to become happy, 20 ways to find your true love, 15 ways to become successful right now and so forth. There is nothing wrong about these websites, and occasionally I have benefited from some of them. However, the problem lies in their definition of self-growth and the formulaic approach they adopt towards it.
I recently attended the introductory session of self-development program at the insistence of a friend. The program promised to bring about positive, permanent shifts in the quality of life and create power, freedom, full self-expression, and peace of mind for the future. As I entered my session, I was greeted by individuals who looked very confident, had a smile on their faces, and loudly introduced themselves. Everybody had their name tags on and the insistence was on addressing everyone by their names. The fellow participants were a motley bunch of people who were either troubled by life, had been invited by a friend or were curious enough to attend it on their own. There was an enthusiastic home-maker, who wanted to contribute more to her husband's happiness and improve her relation with her in-laws, a businessman who wanted better relations with his brother, a shy engineer who wanted to become a writer, a master's student who wanted to pursue his doctorate, a man who was feared by his family because of his anger, a painter who wanted to find his own voice, and others who remained quiet for the rest of the session. As the program began, everybody was encouraged to open up, to see their lives from the suggested point of view. The session leader selected two people who volunteered to for case studies. The session leader had all the answers in his mind, all he needed to do was to fit everyone's problems in a template and provide answers. By the end of the session, the leader successfully convinced everyone, that all their problems would change with a shift in their perspective, that by joining the program they would all become the strong, confident, expressive people they always wanted to be.
In the midst of all this, nobody questions why do we all want to become a prototype? Every person is unique and that's what makes us special. An introvert need not share everything with the world, they have other avenues to do so. Not everything is in our control. It is okay to aspire for confidence but it is also okay to not be so. Anxiety and self-doubt are as much necessary as positivity and optimism. Everyone should not be the confident, extrovert which are most visible to us. There are other ways to measure success than what is taught to us. Most importantly, solutions cannot be generic. Everybody lives their own journey, and the path to self-development for each of us cannot be the same.

While won't see Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner in the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War," the film does offer us a first glimpse at both Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther and Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Speaking with EW about the growing nature of this cinematic family, Robert Downey Jr. said he's in awe at how big this thing is getting:
"[Don] Cheadle and I are just going, 'Wow, dude, look at this'. We're now like the old guard, and our storyline carries real weight just because of our history in the [canon]. But we're also looking around like, 'Who thought that Falcon and Black Panther and Ant-Man and now Spider-Man…?' I mean it's like wow, this thing is just crazy."
Boseman meanwhile spoke about his Black Panther costume, a suit infused with vibranium in the film which allows him to absorb attacks from an opponent:
"The vibranium is a metal that is dynamic. It can change how it's used. It's not a liquid, but it has the ability to change shape and change form and still have its strength. … It's not just about being durable, it has the ability to absorb energy. It's not just like you hit it and it doesn't take it. It has the ability to absorb the attack of another person and repel or respond to that attack. That's part of the power."
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige meanwhile confirms that Martin Freeman's character in 'Civil War' will only be a brief appearance, but it's a role that will be expanded upon:
"He's under the cloak of secrecy. There are a lot of amazing actors in this movie. Some of them play larger roles than others. And in some cases there are some you will meet ever so briefly in this film and then will be expanded upon in future films. [Martin Freeman's character] falls into that latter category."
"Captain America: Civil War" is set for release on May 6th 2016.

Department Of Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after Military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. It is traditionally broken in to several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geo technical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, surveying etc. Civil engineering takes place on all levels; from Govt., Semi Govt, state & urban bodies to private sector and MNC`s.
• Making department the best place of learning that provides total education based on thorough fundamental theory concepts and application of the same through advanced practices and experiments.
• Creating the environment that ensures emergence of the fullest potential and ability to research in the students.
Why Civil Engineering?
A crystal clear purpose of engineering and technology is to serve mankind in the most sustainable way. Civil Engineering is one of the core engineering disciplines which takes care of utmost basic need of living being on the planet. Its functional importance can be easily realized as the entire construction technology aspect has been thoroughly discussed in "Shala Suktam" of Atharva Veda. According to modern business management principles and theories of economics, products or services which directly align with basic needs of the people are the most promising. Looking at UN millennium development goals – prior and post 2015, large scale infrastructural development is expected at global level, which is possible only with technological advancement of Civil Engineering.
What's Civil Engineering All About?
This is the discipline of engineering that encompasses the widest range of personal and public utility works across the globe. This includes design, construction and maintenance of residential buildings, commercial buildings, industrial structures, bridges, highways, waterways, tunnels, dams, canals, airports, docks, transmission towers, sanitary works, drainage system and traffic control systems. For successful and efficient commencement of these works, the entire civil engineering system has been founded on various core sectors like: Research, Planning, Analysis, Design, execution of work and maintenance of work coping up with legal policies and acts. The most important emerging need of the time is disaster management. The sector is also being looked after by Civil engineering technocrats.
Future of Civil Engineering
Innovation is the mantra of current generation. With a view to achieving inclusive growth, pattern of linear thinking is gradually losing its popularity. Scope of creativity is unlimited in the field of Civil Engineering. Creative and unique building design, use of alternative materials to preserve exhaustible resources, novel ideas to strengthen disaster management system, energy management through green building concept are the areas which play a key role in building glorious future of civil engineering. UNDSD is continuously planning and aiming for the activities which promote sustainable development only. Construction industry is one of the major pillars of World's economy hence the 3 I formula : Impact through Innovation to achieve Inclusive growth shall be very well implemented through civil engineering.

The Health Benefits of Vitamin K
Introduction & Biological Activity
Vitamin K is an essential, fat soluble vitamin, discovered in the first half of the 20th century. It's well known role in helping form blood clots led it to be called "antihemorrhagic factor" and interestingly, the name "K" comes from the German/Danish word koagulationsvitamin (clotting vitamin). Vitamin K also refers to a set of structurally similar molecules such as phylloquinone, phytonadione, or menaquinones ( MK-4, and MK-7).
Because vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin, it requires a functioning pancreas and biliary tree to adequately absorb. It is protein bound, and pancreatic enzymes strip it off the proteins, then it gets absorbed into enterocytes (gut cells) via micelles, attached to chylomicrons (a lipoprotein) and transported to various destinations, namely the liver.
Vitamin K is an essential component of the coagulation cascade, which is part of the process by which your bodies blood clots. This is a normal part of how your body manages and stops bleeding, and not referring to things like DVT or strokes.
It is also a co-factor for some proteins used in bone formation and certain glycoproteins. Although it shares some relationship with managing bone mineral density, it's ability to prevent it via supplementation is not well documented in the literature.
Vitamin K Supplement Options: http://amzn.to/2pqVBYs
Potential Medical Benefits
Alzheimer's disease
It may be neuroprotective against diseases like alzheimer's
Cardiovascular disease.
May reduce coronary artery calcification, although it's impact on cardiovascular events is not well studied. Because it promotes synthesis of coagulation products, it's utility in the treatment of vascular disease is unlikely.
Healthy Bones
Early evidence suggests it may improve bone mineral density and reduce risk of fracture.
It may reduce the risk of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of liver cancer.
Toxicity is exceptionally rare. The tolerable upper limit is not well known.
Clinical signs and symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include easy bruisability, mucosal bleeding which is bleeding in your GI tract, splinter hemorrhages which are tiny blood clots under the nail, and blood in stool and urine. Essentially, your body develops a diet-derived bleeding disorder. Deficiency of vitamin K is usually associated with malabsorptive diseases such as cystic fibrosis or diseases of the gallbladder and biliary tree.
Deficiency is also associated with bone diseases (osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, etc) and increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Interestingly, it is a common problem in newborns and they receive a vitamin K dose shortly after delivery. If it is not replaced, they are at risk of vitamin K deficiency of the newborn, which presents with bleeding similar to what I described above. The reason for the deficiency is because of the immature liver in the newborn is incapable of efficiently utilizing vitamin K.
Best Dietary Sources
Dark green or leafy green vegetables. This is why people on coumadin are supposed to be very attentive to their salad and spinach intake! It is also produced in the gut by intestinal bacteria.
Recommended Daily Allowance
The RDA in women is 90 micrograms in women and 120 in men in the US, and is based roughly upon 0.75-1 mcg/kg bodyweight. It can be supplemented in one of three forms; Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) or one of two possible Vitamin K2s (menaquinones), MK-4 or MK-7. Supplementation, however, is not generally required as most people obtain enough from dietary sources.

I issued a github pull request for a non-profit / charity project I was working on. I have already forked his git repo, and I pushed my changes to my fork in github. After looking at how other contributors issue their pull requests (request to merge a branch to jorgej's master branch), I realised that I issued a pull-request from my master branch. It was actually a bit awkward to develop and make changes on my master branch, it makes it difficult to merge updates from jorgej's upstream remote master branch.
So what I wanted to do was:
- close my initial pull request
- create a branch starting from jorgej's latest commit (e.g. fix_branch)
- cherry-pick my commit to that branch
- issue a pull request to merge from my 'fix_branch' to jorgej's master branch
- reset my master branch (on my github fork) to jorgej's latest commit
- also needed to reset my master branch in my local machine, i.e.:
git reset --hard HEAD^
You need to make sure that no other users of this repository are fetching the incorrect changes or trying to build on top of the commits that you want removed because you are about to rewind history.Then you need to 'force' push the old reference.
git push -f origin cc4b63bebb6:alpha-0.3.0
You may have
receive.denyNonFastForwards set on the remote repository. If this is the case, then you will get an error which includes the phrase
[remote rejected].
In this scenario, you will have to delete and recreate the branch.
git push origin :alpha-0.3.0 git push origin cc4b63bebb6:refs/heads/alpha-0.3.0
If this doesn't work – perhaps because you have
receive.denyDeletes set, then you have to have direct access to the repository. In the remote repository, you then have to do something like the following plumbing command.
git update-ref refs/heads/alpha-0.3.0 cc4b63bebb6 83c9191dea8


text: Michael Essien will be at the heart of the Ghanian midfield [AFP] But the experienced French coach, in charge of a team at a record sixth Nations Cup tournament, expects a tough assignment. "They have an excellent squad," he said of Guinea. "A lot of attacking players. They are very skilful. We are aware that it will be very difficult against them." In video Watch Al Jazeera's report on Ghanaian boys' dream ticket out of povertyGhana are counting on the 40,000 crowd at the newly-refurbished stadium to get behind the side. But they will have to shift around their midfield after injury ruled out captain Stephen Appiah. Winger Sulley Muntari is likely to be brought into the middle, with a first starting berth on the left given to 18-year-old Dede Ayew, the son of former Ghana captain Abedi Pele. A key figure for Ghana now is Muntari's fellow central midfielder Michael Essien, who missed out two years ago because of injury. Le Roy, whose side will also face Morocco and Namibia in Group A, said he has told his men to relish the experience of the tournament, saying: "Not many players will get this opportunity." Guinea, who arrived on Wednesday, have spent the last two weeks training in Spain and beat Sudan 6-0 and 1-0 in two friendly matches in Malaga. "It is no easy task to play against the host nation in a tournament like this, but it is also an honour to compete in the opening match," Guinea coach Robert Nouzaret said. SOURCE: Agencies

Chia Seeds
We have the new season Chia seeds back in store.
Chia promote heart health, supports joint function and mobility and aids a healthy digestive system.
Chia seeds are a gluten free wholegrain. The black and white seeds are equal in nutritional value.
As their flavour is very neutral they can be used on sweet or savoury dishes. Good on your muesli, salad, in your smoothie or in your bread. If you mix them with water they become gel-like, and very filling.
Chia is very high in dietary fibre - 80% of which is insoluble fibre that promotes healthy digestion. Chia seeds are very high in Omega 3 essential fatty acids. They contain over 20% complete protein with all 8 essential amino acids which is very rare for a vegetarian source of protein.
Storage at room temperature is fine.

AMA concerns on smartcard legislation failing privacy test
AMA President, Dr Mukesh Haikerwal, has urged Federal MPs to vote against the Government's proposed Health and Social Services Access Card (Smartcard) legislation because it fails to offer adequate protection of private information and discriminates against younger Australians.
Dr Haikerwal said the AMA recognises and supports the potential benefits of the Access Card but is dismayed that the deficiencies of the legislation undermine these benefits.
The AMA's major concerns are:
- Future function creep– the legislation gives such broad powers to the Minister and Secretary of the day to allow almost anything to be added to the list of uses and purposes of the Card and the Card number
- Age discrimination– automatic access to the Card is available to people aged 18 years and over, with those aged 16-18 having to make special application [the Medicare Card is automatically available to people aged 16 and over]
- Ownership– the Bill states that the individual owns the Card but actively disguises the fact that the individual does not own the information contained on the Card. Dr Haikerwal said the legislation provides inadequate protection against the misuse of personal information and any possible future uses of the card other than those that the Government has already specified.
"The AMA has serious concerns about the privacy and security of people's personal details that would be contained on the Card," Dr Haikerwal said.
"Others, including the Chair of the Access Card Consumer and Privacy Taskforce, Professor Allan Fels, and the Federal Privacy Commissioner, Karen Curtis, have raised similar fears over privacy.
"And there are also reports of Government members who are very worried about future misuse of the information contained on the Card.
"The Government should produce a Bill that respects and protects the privacy and rights of all Australians."
Dr Haikerwal said the Government is also yet to explain why the Bill raises the age of automatic access to the Card to persons aged 18 years and over, while the current Medicare Card is automatically available to people aged 16 and over.
"The Government must tell the Australian people why it is seeking to restrict the privacy, independence and health choices of young Australians," Dr Haikerwal said.

I've been following www.susannahconway.com this summer through her blog and through her Unravelling e-course. Tonight I found she's organising a great idea which is free to participate in and should be great fun. I have cut and pasted her initial instructions below but you will find the full instructions on her blog if you're interested. I'm looking forward to it.
"The plan is you simply share one photo (or more!) per day on your blog – Monday to Friday, or every day. Or whenever you feel moved to share. Using any camera – DSLR, compact, Polaroid, Holga, iPhone (my choice), Instax, film or digital – with or without words – anything goes! – for the whole of August. No pressure – just looking at August through your camera lens as a way to be more present this summer. And to have a little break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging.
There are NO RULES, people! Just sunshine (hopefully) and a bit of fun. And lots of lovely photos to look at.

If you are flying nut like me you probably have a couple of adventures you always wanted to try. What stopped you?
Your banker, wife, partner, the FAA, Father Time etc.
Read on because the Sky Fantasy will show you how to make these dreams, reality!
How many pilots have quit flying because their wife thinks it is too dangerous. Partners don't want you risking your life because it could cripple the company. Doc crashed breaking his back and almost lost his companies!
Flying can be dicey and cost far more than it is worth, but the Sky Fantasy Motion Flight Simulator gives you the thrill and satisfaction with none of the risk.
The purchasing and flying a small plane like a Cessna, Piper, Mooney or LSA Aircraft such as Carbon Cub, Cub Crafters, CTLSi, Jabiru, Remos, Rans, Tecnam, Vans etc. costs can be prohibitive, fuel, insurance and hanger rental or purchase make it something most can't afford, but what if you want to be an airline pilot. I know they get paid to do this, but the cost of getting your commercial license is high and you will be in the backwoods flying a Dash 7 or other boring craft until you earn your wings as the captain of an Airbus 380. You then get to fly where they tell you. Only very few like Richard Branson can afford their own airline.
How about being a fighter pilot. First you may not have the education or physique that fits the profile. If you qualify to go through the training, you might make it, one in a hundred does, you will have to give up your life to live on an air force base away from your family and risk being killed every day or worse still sit, on your hands doing boring paperwork waiting for the action.
Many of the things I have done in the Sky Fantasy Motion Flight Simulator would have landed
me in jail, the hospital or the morgue. I flew under the Eiffel tower and Golden Gate Bridge and
some of the places I've landed.... You might get a nasty letter from Bill Gates but the FAA doesn't
give hoot what you do. You should see the aerobatic show I put on at Oshkosh.
You are only limited by your imagination.
We all get old and sick and the flight surgeon tells us to hang up our flying goggles. Sky Fantasy Motion Flight Simulator doesn't care. If you black out from the stress you place on your body… no-one dies, not even you!
You're probably thinking you can do them on your present desktop Flight simulator and you can, but is it as authentic as you want?
Air Forces and Airline understand that adding a little motion will fool your brain into thinking it is real and use motion simulator extensively. An airplane doesn't go exactly where you point it like it does in an arcade game. You have to lead it in and out of a maneuver or it will oscillate and be very hard to control. Even the most expensive motion flight simulators don't have this feature until now. The Sky Fantasy has it which makes it the most realistic simulator in existence. You have to initiate an action a split second before you need it like a real aircraft. Our patented Human Interface System will introduce this lead. Instructors that tried it feel the Sky Fantasy is so realistic that it will help someone get their licence with as little as ten hours in the air.
The Sky Fantasy Motion Flight Simulator will let you experience these adventures with more realism than you could ever imagine.
Whatever you dream, you can do in the Sky Fantasy at an affordable cost.
Sky fantasy is an unpowered basic motion flight simulator. It duplicates the motion of a flying machine without the complexity of hydraulics, pneumatics, linear actuators, servos or complicated software. The cockpit is a gimbaled chair which uses pressure on the control stick to upset the balance forcing the chair into the desired attitude. This tells the computer where it has moved and displays it on the screens creating the lead so hard to duplicate. This is accomplished without the risk of a hydraulic oil spill, a fire from a pinched, shorted wire or a ruptured airline. The reliability of this system is unbelievable.
The design has been refined steadily for more than ten years and the finished product is astounding;
What does this cost?
Almost nothing when you figure an hour rental in a Cessna will be over $150 wet and the insurance you need to cover you flying the plane will be several hundred dollars per year. It is a bargain.
If you are flying an F-18 or Boeing 777, Taxiing to the runway will burn more $$$ in fuel.
The price is $3,495
Sun 'N' Fun was a blast... see you at Oshkosh!

After getting lost in the jungle, a little dachshund discovered he was being stalked by a leopard. The dachshund had to think fast. Looking around, he spotted an animal's carcass and started gnawing on one of the bones. Before the leopard could pounce, he said, "Ah, that was the tastiest leopard I have ever eaten."
The dachshund's words made the leopard so fearful he ran away. But a certain monkey saw how the little dog had deceived the great jungle cat. Considering this an opportunity to profit from the leopard's protection, he told the leopard what the dog had done to him. This made the leopard furious. With the monkey on his back, he raced back to the dachshund and prepared to make a meal of him.
Without even flinching, the dachshund said, "Monkey, how nice of you to bring me another leopard! Why did it take you so long?" The little dog escaped the mouth of the leopard once again.
Every individual who has put his faith in Jesus Christ has been delivered from the mouth of a lion, the devil. We did not escape on account of our ingenuity or our ability to deceive the enemy, but we were spared because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Yet many Christians who have been delivered from the tyranny of Satan's oppression return to their former sins. Some flirt with danger by seeing how close they can come to the ugly lion's cage. Others stay away from the lion's cage on Sundays, only to play inside it during the week. These things ought not to be so.
What can we do to avoid returning to the debilitating sins from which we have been delivered? We need to establish personal boundaries. No one knows us better than we do. If we see a tempting situation, then these boundaries will keep us from compromising.
Wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry? Think about some boundaries you can set up for yourself, and implement them today.
He that will play with Satan's bait will quickly be taken with Satan's hook. — Thomas Brooks
Devotional by Pastor Jim Scudder, Jr.

As the days go on, I'm finding I have less time to take photos that I'd like to. That huge gap of 6 hours I have between classes seemed like so much, now it's just enough... between laundry, reading, and catching up on my homework, photos are having a hard time finding space in the mix.
Today started like a pretty typical day. Alarm rang at 7:45AM, ate breakfast, then went to art history class. Afterwards, we got sandwiches from this little deli right up the street. Two words: too delicious. I got a sandwich with provolone, panchetta, and mortadella. Such a simple yet fantastic combination. I've a new-found love for such simple pleasures. After indulging myself, I eventually headed to photo class.
Our photo teacher just gave us actual pinhole cameras to work with for photo class! I've worked with homemade pinholes in high school photo class, but I've never worked with a real one. For those of you who don't know, a pinhole camera is essentially a camera without a lens. It's simply a box with a tiny tiny hole that the light goes through which will cast an image onto film of the other side of the box. The most basic form of a camera. I'll be out shooting with that soon, so hopefully I'll get some photos up here and maybe I'll even be able upload the film images from the pinhole camera!
Tonight, we went to see an Italian film. At first it was a bit of a pain with the captions and what not, but soon enough, I found that I was watching it like any other film. We also met one of the actresses from the film which was pretty interesting.
Despite how busy I've been, at the end of each day when I decide it's time to write my blog I always think "Well... what did I do today?" Just an interesting point. Probably because so much happens in such a short amount of time, it's hard to recollect every single detail.
Off to bed for now, I'll be back soon with photos!

Starter24 is a part of a Europe-wide assistance provider, collaborating with many local partners to offer a variety of services and get to their clients in need as fast as possible. One of their services is car assistance, which they provide through a broad network of partners.
Starter24 wanted to build a mobile application for their field partners. The app was to send tasks, track the assistance vehicles based on GPS signal, set the status of the task and send detailed reports to Starter24 customer service centre.
To create a solution for field contractors and make it simple, clear and intuitional.
- Designing a robust application with simple task management.
- Pulling data from distributed databases.
We started with a deep understanding of how Starter24's processes work and who is going to use the application the most.
- The team held daily meetups with Client 's team in order to prepare the designs.
- The Client was present at team's daily standups.
- After each release, our team collected feedback from the users and proposed ways to implement it.
Implementing the application in Starter24's group allowed our Client to:
- Have more conversations with clients thanks to time saved on calls with contractors.
- Send an interactive map of assistance location with GPS points collected by the application.
Backend development
Frontend development
Mobile development
The short development time was impressive. Briisk thought about our application from a business point of view—as a customer, not as a developer. They deduced solutions before we presented the problem. Everything went well for us, so I have an excellent opinion of Briisk.

Editorial: Japan should play active role to create new order after US-N. Korea pact
(Mainichi Japan)
During a campaign for the general election in fall last year, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called the situation concerning North Korea a "national crisis" for Japan, as he fostered a sense of emergency among the public and used it to keep his administration afloat. However, following the recent agreement at the summit meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the Abe government can no longer resort to such a method.
- 【Related】Kim expressed readiness at Trump summit to meet Abe: Japan source
- 【Related】Pompeo: US wants major N. Korean denuclearization by Jan. 2021; talks with Pyongyang next w
- 【Related】Kim Jong Un returns to N. Korea from summit with Trump: KCNA
- 【Related】US, Japan, S. Korea foreign chiefs to meet after Singapore summit
Washington and Pyongyang have begun efforts toward establishing a new bilateral relationship following the first ever summit between the two countries. Japan-North Korea relations will inevitably move in tandem with U.S.-North Korea ties.
A joint statement signed by the U.S. and North Korean leaders made only vague reference to the denuclearization of North Korea, and made no mention of the missile issue. Yet, Abe had no choice but to express his support for the U.S.-North Korea accord because the prime minister has stated that Tokyo and Washington "have completely agreed" on their response to Pyongyang.
Japan-North Korea negotiations are part of the process of Japan settling postwar problems along with the issue of signing a peace treaty with Russia. Tokyo and Pyongyang have held intermittent negotiations but public criticism of the abduction of Japanese nationals by North Korean agents heightened following then Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's first visit to North Korea in 2002. Hurdles to the settlement of the abduction issue subsequently became higher due to North Korea's development of nuclear arms and missiles.
Japan can use economic cooperation to draw concessions from North Korea. However, such aid is not as attractive to North Korea as before since China's economic influence on Pyongyang has increased and South Korea is poised to provide large-scale assistance to the North. Therefore, Tokyo now faces tougher negotiations with Pyongyang than ever before.
Regardless, the Cold War structure that remains in Northeast Asia has begun to change following the latest U.S.-North Korea summit. Although there is criticism of the content of the agreement, the move undoubtedly marked the first step toward easing tensions in the region. Japan needs to proactively work to pursue a new order.
The fact that President Trump raised the abduction issue in his talks with Kim should be regarded as a positive move, but this will not lead to a fundamental solution. How Kim responded to the matter remains unclear. Therefore, Japan should not regard the move as a diplomatic achievement.
Prime Minister Abe has recently stated that Japan aims to normalize its diplomatic ties with North Korea based on the 2002 Pyongyang Declaration between the two countries. However, Abe's announcement appears to have come abruptly. Improvements in Tokyo's ties with Pyongyang are vital for Japan's security. Therefore, the Abe administration should display its enthusiasm about the issue by, for example, holding a meeting of the leaders of ruling and opposition parties in an effort to share the government's policy on North Korea.
Fortunately, the United States, South Korea and other countries concerned hope that Japan will improve its relations with North Korea. Tokyo should proactively work to boost its ties with Pyongyang and seek public understanding of the government's policy while cooperating with neighboring countries.

Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy)
This is the step where your allergic symptoms and you get better.
Immunotherapy, known as allergy shots, is a preventive treatment for allergic reactions to substances such as grass, trees and weeds pollens, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores and bee venom. Immunotherapy involves giving gradually increasing doses of the substance, or allergen, to which the person is allergic. The incremental increases of the allergen cause the immune system to become less sensitive to the substance, probably by causing production of a "blocking" antibody, which reduces the symptoms of allergy when the substance is encountered in the future.
Before starting treatment, the allergist and patient identify trigger factors for your allergic symptoms. Skin or sometimes blood test/such as RAST test are performed to confirm the specific allergens to which the person has antibodies.
The allergy shots are also known as subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and are the most commonly used and most effective form of allergy immunotherapy. This is the only treatment available that actually changes the immune system, making it possible to prevent the development of new allergies and asthma.
Allergy tablets are a form of SLIT, or sublingual immunotherapy, that offer a way to treat certain allergies without shots. Like shots, tablets reduce symptoms by helping the body build resistance to the effects of an allergen. Unlike shots, tablets only treat one type of allergen and do not prevent the development of new allergies and asthma. FDA-approved SLIT for are available to treat allergies to ragweed and grass pollen.

Welcome to Artist Magnet!
About Artist Magnet
Artist Magnet is an LA-based arts service organization with the mission of empowering Artists by connecting them through Shows and Venues everywhere. The company's services include professional development for local Artists, sponsorship of nonprofit arts organizations and productions, consulting services for arts companies and online services for Artists.
Founded in 2008 by Artist and Producer David Mack, Artist Magnet's featured project, currently in development, is to launch its interactive, artist-driven social network this fall.
The backbone of the network includes customizable, hyperlinking Resumes that Artists can build for free (or pay a monthly rate for premium features). Artist Magnet is unique from other networks because as the Artists build the work they have done, are currently doing, or will do in the future into their hyperlinking Resumes, they instantly start to connect to other Artists and Theatres in the following ways:
- The Productions on their Resumes instantly hyperlink to Production Pages, which link to the Resumes of all the Artists (who sign-up) who have worked in those Productions.
- The Theatres in their Resumes instantly hyperlink to Venue and Company Pages, linking to all the past, present and upcoming Productions associated with those Theatres, which in turn link to all the Resumes created of the Artists who have worked in those Productions.
- The Directors on their Resumes instantly hyperlink to the Directors' Resumes, or if the Directors have not yet joined, they can be instantly email-invited to join the network.
So in effect, the network becomes a six-degrees-of-separation for the LA Theatre world. Artists are able to build and link to the Production, Venue, and Company Pages free (Venues and Companies can manage their pages for a fee). Moreover, at every step of the process, Artists have easy access to a portal to instantly invite their Directors and fellow Artists to join the network and build their own Resumes so they can be linked to each other through their work (the Resumes are custom built for many different types of Artists, including: Actors, Singers, Musicians, Dancers, Directors, Designers, Playwrights, Dramaturgs, Choreographers, Stage Managers, Stage Crew, Puppeteers, Composers, etc.)
Because the content is being built from the ground up through the grassroots by the Artists themselves, rather than a database of information built by a coder or group of producers, Artists will be incentivized to join the network and build their Resumes in order to connect with their friends and colleagues. In addition, Artists will be able to store, save, share and print their Resumes through the network, making it easier to manage their professional artistic life in one place through the site. And Theatre Companies will be incentivized to join and manage their pages once they see that many of their Artists and potential customers are in the network. The network will start as a members-only site, meaning only Artists will be able to join and utilize the network; eventually, it will be opened to Producers, then fans and the general public.
The Artist Magnet team developed a 4min promotional film with support from the Pasadena Playhouse, which will be presented as a kickoff to a Kickstarter campaign in May and June to raise an additional $2,500 for the project. Next, the team will spend the rest of 2015 finalizing the coding, integrating the design templates, and promoting the upcoming launch at strategic Theatre festivals, Arts convenings and events. The launch date is now set for the summer of 2016, with a goal of 1,000 Artists using the network within the first 6 months. Once that goal has been achieved, the team will strategically roll-out new features (i.e. a comprehensive search engine, a messaging system, and an integrated network for fans and audiences to connect with their favorite Artists and Theatres) and eventually expand to LA-based musicians, visual artists, and Artists in other arts fields.
Proposed Outcomes
The online theatre network will empower Artists by giving them professional development tools and helping them build stronger connections with their theatrical colleagues. Currently, similar networks (e.g. LA Casting, Actors Access, IMDb, About the Artists, etc.) are controlled by a handful of producers and corporations who have access to all the data. These well-funded special interests often charge Artists up to $50 per month to upload their basic data into the site, even though many of these Artists struggle financially, especially early in their careers when they are most in need of these services. Meanwhile, these establishment casting directors and production companies get instant access to thousands of Artists' data, often free of charge. Artist Magnet plans to invert this model; on Artist Magnet, any Artist is able to build a Resume, upload their data, and hyperlink it to their Shows, Venues and Directors, connecting to other Artists they work with – all for free. In turn, the Theatres and Companies pay in order to access this data. This model advances Artist Magnet's mission to empower Artists by supporting their local networks and how they connect with each other.

This is the last weekend of the season to fish for wild coho in the Coquille River. Beginning Monday, Oct. 11, the fishery will be closed because the harvest quota of 1,200 fish is projected to be met, ODFW fishery managers said.
"Earlier this week, the harvest estimate approached 80 percent of the allowable quota. With the rains coming Friday night, coho will be on the move and, with higher weekend effort, we're projecting a high catch rate this weekend," said Mike Gray, ODFW fish biologist. "It's been a fantastic season, and we're glad we could give people the opportunity to take a wild coho salmon."
ODFW received approval from NOAA Fisheries Service to implement conservative harvest on ESA-listed coho salmon, for populations that meet certain criteria. The ability to implement fisheries on listed coho depends on managing the harvest within allowable quotas.
The Coquille River remains open for fall chinook and hatchery steelhead. The fall chinook fishery continues to be excellent in the Coquille River this season.

Physical- Will's physical well being is affected because he started stuttering and standing disappointingly.
Social- His social well being was affected as he communicated with his family developing their bond.
Mental/emotional- His mental/ emotional was affected because he was feeling happy but then he felt hurt and sorrowful.
Spiritual- His spiritual well being was affected because he told the truth which shows he values his family and honesty.
His well being dimensions were affected in both negative and positive ways. His physical well being was affected in a negative way as he started talking unclear because he was in wrong and standing in a head down position affecting his ability to move. Will's social well being was affected in a positive way because he decided to communicate with his family and tell the truth rather than lying to them which influenced growth in their family relationships and in trusting one another. His mental/ emotional was affected in a negative way. Although he started off happy the guilt and feeling of right doing kicked in, when Will told the truth he felt sad, disappointment, sorry and blameable, his feelings were then negative about himself and his doings. His spiritual well being was affected in a positive way, it was positive because his values of honesty and his family stood when he told them the truth.
Overall Will's well being was affected because it became unbalanced and the dimensions weren't all supporting each other.
Will valuing his family and honesty (SPIRITUAL) connected to him telling them the truth because he gained a sense of achievement by doing so. His decision to communicate with his family improved their relationships (SOCIAL), as while telling them he became more emotional and sad (m/e) affecting his feelings and thoughts about himself which further influenced his body positions and stance (physical) to change affecting his ability to move.

Mahalo Mango®, Pina Koolada® Smoothies Beckon the Thirsty, Free Smoothies for Kids Every Monday and New Robeks Great-Taste Guarantee Debuts
MANHATTAN BEACH, CA--(Marketwire - May 2, 2008) - Robeks Corporation, a premium fruit
smoothie and healthy eats franchise chain, kicks-off its 2008 "Summer of
Fun" Campaign on May 1st with a basketful of summertime favorites from
tropical-cool "Mahalo Mango and Pina Koolada" promotion to "Monday
Kids-Free Smoothie Program." A centerpiece of this year's campaign is
Robeks' New Great-Taste Guarantee Campaign.
To help fight childhood obesity and get healthier beverages into the hands
of children, Robeks will offer one FREE 12-ounce smoothie (Tropical, Berry
or naturallylight™) to kids under age 12 with the purchase of one
24-ounce smoothie every Monday, all day, all summer. The program will be
reinforced with residential mailers and coupons. Flyers will be distributed
to Boys & Girls Clubs, schools and churches to spread the word.
No summer is complete without tasting the refreshing pleasures of fruit.
With the Mahalo Mango and Pina Koolada smoothie promotion, customers can
get into their diet up to four servings of fruit in each smoothie, out of a
recommended 9 - 13 daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Only DOLE fruit
is used in Robeks smoothies, which is flash-frozen for optimal consistency
and off-the-vine freshness. What's more, Mahalo Mango has only 174
calories in a 12-ounce size, and delivers 60 percent of daily Vitamin A and
43 percent of Vitamin C requirements.
"Summer is a time when we want to sport our swimsuits or shorts and feel
healthier. Our smoothies are a great way to lose or manage weight, increase
exercise and fulfill nutritional needs. And, if your smoothie isn't just
the way you like it every time, let us know and we'll make it right," said
Brian Tademy, vice president of marketing.
Robeks Great-Taste Guarantee Campaign originated with the continuous stream
of comments from customers that Robeks' smoothies taste 'better' than the
competition. Robeks stands behind its recipes 100 percent and
differentiates itself with premium-quality ingredients, proprietary
nutritional boosts and made-to-order smoothie taste and texture that can be
customized to each guest's favorite fruits.
