The software industry is about to change, the stage is set and corporations will have access to better and more innovative practices, like they have never seen before. All without investing a dime.
Are you confused? I spent the last year trying to figure it out. Sorting out words like SaaS (Software as a Service), and now PaaS (Platform as a Service), from CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Web 2.0 (Microsoft's strategy to delivery apps like Word, Excel over the net), On-Demand, (pay for it when you use it), Cloud Computing (what are they thinking when they came up with this term? The Cloud is infrastructure like storage, computing power, and all the stuff you need to run SaaS.)
Trying to sort out who is playing in what arena changes daily, but what is fundamentally true is that computing is about to change forever, and corporations better be ready to shed their over-staffed computing departments. Following the credit melt down in 2008, corporations won't be able to build their business on margin. The $100 million annual computing and IT budgets are gone and leverage is going to have to happen differently now, and not through the credit markets.
To gain that accelerated edge in the market, leverage will come from grabbing solutions as you need them to march into a specific market and pay for only what you use. Global best practices will be online for anyone to use and exploit. The days of carrying hundreds of staff for the eventuality of market execution are over. The days of IT running the corporation and the bottleneck for everything, are over.
This revolution provides scale and leverage without the debt and margin from the 1980-2008 that have killed corporate America.
Every major technology company is racing for this market now, from Microsoft to Google, from Oracle to SAP, even IBM and HP.
In 2009 you will see the emergence of companies that take advantage of this trend. We won't have a Dot.Com boom on our hands, but over the next few years, many companies will be created and significant returns will be realized by investors and the customers that use these systems.

Choosing The Best Online Gazebo Canopy Retailer To Buy From
Nowadays on-line shopping for garments has become extra like a day by day activity for the trendy girls. On-line lingerie stores do not advertise your name all over the Internet. As part of the Woolworths group, Telsyte's Steven Noble says alcohol retailer Dan Murphy's is part of one of the solely retail conglomerates with online operations that have really obtained the moves on in this nation".
Drop ship success might be perfect strategy for small online retailers who have financial constraints and likewise restricted sources. Internet buyers who choose to do their buying online particularly as a result of they work odd hours may have quite a lot of issue returning merchandise.
1000's of outlets and industry companions read NRF SmartBrief, a day by day e mail with the newest trade information. Little do you know, the retailer you were purchasing will not be positioned in your nation. Buyer belief – it can be difficult to establish a trusted brand name, especially with out a physical enterprise with a observe report and face-to-face interplay between clients and sales employees.
Automated gross sales and checkout lower down on the necessity for personnel and web sites price less than physical shops. Walmart has splashed out $16bn (£12bn) to grab control of India's largest on-line retailer Flipkart, strengthening its international fight against US rival Amazon.
And Profitable's key to promoting on-line? The website is neatly organized and the products categorized for purchasers to easily navigate by way of, with pertinent data corresponding to model number, measurement, the store the place the gazebo was purchased, and so forth. Additionally, in terms of returns, the online retailer is not going to cost a restocking payment.

Über mich
Ruhig bleiben & digitale Medien nutzen
Denn digitale Medien sind die Zukunft der Bildung
Consistency: one litte word that can change everything
Posted on 22 Nov 2011 in
Black Forest Ramblings
0 comments
I don't like many German songs but there are a few that I have come across in the past few years that really got to me. One of those songs is "Irgendwas Bleibt" by Silbermond:
The song is about a woman asking for a sense of security in today's ever-changing world. She says that she needs this to have something to hold on to when she feels lost, to know that there is at least one thing she knows will not change.
I have been thinking a lot about the fact that things never seem to stay the same and also about this urge certain people have to always be on the move, God forbid they ever stand still for a second.
Even though I often feel restless, too, I have realized quite some time ago that I still need some things that I feel I can "come back" to no matter what happens, something like a safe haven, because otherwise I will feel terribly lost – especially if there are things around me that make me feel like I'm constantly spinning and unable to get hold of something to slow me down… and I don't think I am the only one feeling that way.
What I have recently noticed though is that increasingly fewer people are able to give you this "something that stays the same" (in German: Irgendwas das bleibt"). In general this isn't a problem when it comes to most people because you wouldn't expect complete strangers or people you hardly know to give you this sense of security. However, when it comes to your friends, it's different because friendship not only means having someone to have fun with when you feel good, it also means having someone who doesn't tell you one way or another "that's your problem, deal with it yourself instead of bothering me" when you don't
feel good.
For not feeling good happens to everybody every once in a while and real friendship (vs. a make-believe friendship) means that you try to make your friend feel better and that you allow them to make you feel better vice versa.
What is particularly unsettling though is not so much the fact that today's world never seems to stand still for a second but that there are people who make you feel like they're your friend but they seem to have become so focused on moving (maybe because they feel restless and think that moving is the only thing that will make them feel better) that they don't realize that a possible remedy for their restlessness might actually be having a safe haven themselves and that maybe their restlessness is not so much caused by their wish not to waste one second of their lives, not to deprive themselves of one more thing they think they need in order to be happy just to find themselves all restless again right after. So without saying that you should settle for this safe haven and recounce everything else that you think might make you feel good, maybe knowing it is there would actually enable you to live your life to the fullest instead of locking you away.
I think that as long as you
this safe haven is there, somewhere, without even being physically close to it most of the time, nothing can do you any harm. However, if you're constantly made oscillate between someone's attention and indifference, one second feeling like you matter and the next as if they couldn't care less, it makes you terribly vulnerable, even more vulnerable than if you had never had this impression that there was this safe haven, the affection that you could rely on, that would convince you everything is going to be alright as long as it is there.
So I can't help but wonder why there are people who convince you they care about you but are all over you for a while – drawing you close and giving you the feeling that you matter and that they increasingly enjoy being close to you – just to back off any minute, withdrawing completely and giving you the impression you're not important enough for them to dedicate just a little bit of their time only to you, and then once more drawing you close to push you away again. In other words, these are the people who are the living proof that the people you love don't always do you good (but sometimes, no matter how badly you wish you could get them out of your system, tear them out of your heart, you can't because your heart picked them and won't let them go … because it must have been fate you met).
Do they get scared off by this closeness because they equate closeness to being tied down, thus becoming unable to move? Haven't they understood yet that restlessness doesn't necessarily mean you need to keep moving to find the Holy Grail (= whatever makes you 100% happy) but that slowing down, having something that you know will be there for you to slow you down so you won't get dizzy whenever you feel like the world is turning too quickly might be the prerequisite for finding the Holy Grail in the first place and that as long as you don't allow yourself to accept that unique safe haven offered to you you will always be wandering the earth, looking for something that has been right under your eyes for like forever, something you need for your quest for happiness to be successful?
And finally, never forget that you needn't always move alone, that there are other restless people out there who you might mean the world to, who want to give you a safe haven as much as they need you to give them one, and that maybe moving
them might be an option to consider because what could be more fulfilling than discovering the world on your own if not discovering it with someone?

Alpha Bank on Thursday reported after tax earnings of 53.4 million euros in the January-September period.
The bank's CEO, Demetrios P. Mantzounis commenting on the results stated: ?We continue to make progress in de-risking the balance sheet by further reducing NPEs, while we are expanding the restructuring solutions offered from our network to borrowers. Our liquidity profile continues to improve with increasing deposits and reduced reliance on ELA, while our capital position remains the strongest amongst Greek banks. Operational performance has been resilient, supported by strong gains from our bond portfolio, despite pressure on NII arising from lower interest revenues as we continue to deleverage. We remain focused on improving the profitability of the Group, which is still affected from an elevated level of impairments and enhancing value for our Shareholders?.
More specifically, sector leading capital position with Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (CET 1) at 18.3% while Tangible Book Value was at 7.8 billion euros in the nine-month period. The bank reported continued progress on Asset Quality with NPEs declining by 4.4 billion euros and NPLs down 3.6 billion in Greece y-o-y. The NPE ratio in Greece at the end of September 2018 stood at 49.5% vs. 53.7% in September 2017. Liquidity position continued to improve with Group deposits up by 1.5 billion euros on a quarterly basis, to 38.6 billion euros at the end of September 2018. Deposits in Greece up by a further 0.4 billion euros. Loan to Deposit ratio for the Group reduced further to 106% in September 2018 vs. 129% a year ago. Significant reduction in Eurosystem funding, down by 6.3 billion euros so far this year. In November 2018, liquidity drawn from ECB maintained at 3.1 billion euros, while ELA further reduced to 0.8 billion from 8.4 billion at the end of Q3 2017. NII at Euro 1,329.4 million, down 9.1% y-o-y, mainly due to a lower contribution from loans. Income from financial operations in Q3 2018 of Euro 134.8 million, primarily attributed to realisation of gains from our Greek Government Bonds portfolio. Total income from financial operations for the nine-month period of 2018 stood at 398.4 million euros. Profit Before Tax was 163.4 million euros in the January-September period. Income Tax for the Group stood at 110.1 million in 9M 2018, driven by higher taxable profits. - Profit After Tax at 53.4 million euros vs. 85.1 million in 2017.

Method assists biochemical research at X-ray lasers
Biological samples studied with intense X-rays at free-electron lasers are destroyed within nanoseconds after they are exposed. Because of this, the samples need to be continually refreshed to allow the many images needed for an experiment to be obtained. Conventional methods use jets that supply a continuous stream of samples, but this can be very wasteful as the X-rays only interact with a tiny fraction of the injected material.
To help address this issue, scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and other institutes designed a new assembly-line system that rapidly replaces exposed samples by moving droplets along a miniature conveyor belt, timed to coincide with the arrival of the X-ray pulses. The droplet-on-tape system now allows the team to study the biochemical reactions in real-time from microseconds to seconds, revealing the stages of these complex reactions.
In their approach, protein solution or crystals are precisely deposited in tiny liquid drops, made as ultrasound waves push the liquid onto a moving tape. As the drops move forward, they are hit with pulses of visible light or treated with oxygen gas, which triggers different chemical reactions depending on the sample studied. This allows the study of processes such as photosynthesis, which determines how plants absorb light from the sun and convert it into useable energy.
Finally, powerful X-ray pulses from SLAC's X-ray laser, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), probe the drops. In this study published in Nature Methods, the X-ray light scattered from the sample onto two different detectors simultaneously, one for X-ray crystallography and the other for X-ray emission spectroscopy.
These are two complementary methods that provide information about the geometric and electronic structure of the catalytic sites of the proteins and allowed them to watch with atomic precision how the protein structures changed during the reaction.

If using Google Web Designer, be sure to set up your project for the "Non-Google Ad" environment. This will generate functions for interactions to which eyeBuild functionality can be added. eyeBuild cannot be added if a GWD project is exported for the Google-specific environments. Also, do not select the publish option to "minify" code, as this further interferes with the ability to make modifications or fixes.
IMPORTANT! eyeBuild cannot be used for files that Eyereturn is not serving (ie – most CPC placements)
Importing & Initializing eyeBuild
The current version is:
In the html file that requires Eyereturn tracking, include the eyeBuild js:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://quickresource.eyereturn.com/eyebuild/eyebuild_1_19.js"></script>
You need to include the js file in all files that require Eyereturn tracking. Before calling any tracking methods, call:
If your document has a function that is executed when the unit has loaded, the initialize call should be included in that function. If you are unsure where to place this call, you may also place it in an empty script tag, as seen below:
<script type="text/javascript"> eyeBuild.initialize(); </script>
Note: initialize() only needs to be called once. If multiple files include the eyeBuild js, call initialize() before the first use of any eyeBuild methods.
|Initializes eyeBuild. This must be called upon load and initialization of the ad unit, and before using any methods of eyeBuild.
|eyeBuild.doClick(n, val1, val2, val3, redirURL)
|Clickthrough Wherever you handle the clickthrough event, call the doClick method. If your ad has multiple clickthrough destinations, pass the ID number of the click as a parameter to the doClick call. The default clickthrough ID is 0, therefore additional clickthroughs begin at 1. Be sure to make your contact at Eyereturn aware of which URLs correspond to each clickthrough IDs, as they will be responsible for ensuring the URLs are called by the appropriate click events.
Note: For almost all standard ads, n is the only parameter needed. Eg eyeBuild.doClick(0) invokes clicktag 0.
Dynamic Clickthrough Some clickthroughs need to be dynamically constructed, including variables from the ad unit as part the destination. In these cases, you may pass up to three strings as optional arguments to the doClick method.
For example, imagine that your ad unit features ten cars, each a different colour, and a mix of car models. All the cars are clickable to the same destination, but you need the colour of the car clicked included in the query string in order to affect which version appears on landing page.
To accomplish this, all of the clicked cars should make slightly different doClick calls. Specifically, the Black Sedan indicated by the above URL would be called as follows:
eyeBuild.doClick(0, "Black", "Sedan", "None");
Provide your contact at Eyereturn with instructions on how to construct the URL from the variables passed. In this case, they would need to know that the clickthrough needs to be constructed as follows:
|Event Tracking - If your ad unit requires tracking of content specific interactions (ie: a replay button, or the tracking of transport controls in a video unit), you must implement a doIAT() call when the event occurs. Each call requires a corresponding ID to be passed as an argument to the call.
The following are the standard IATs for the most common tracking events. Implement these wherever applicable in your ad unit. For events not covered here, use the doCustomIAT() method as described in the next section.
| eyeBuild.doCustomIAT(i)
|Custom Event Tracking - For unique events not covered in the previous section, the doCustomIAT() method allows you to create up to 100 of your own tracking events, which will appear in reporting with the names of your choosing. First, create a list of the events you wish to track with the event name to be displayed in reporting, and a corresponding ID number, starting from 0 and incrementing for each new event. You will need to provide this list to your Eyereturn contact upon delivery of the ad unit.
Feel free to use both standard doIAT() and custom doCustomIAT() tracking events in the same unit as required, but for continuity in reporting we prefer that the pre-defined doIAT() calls are used wherever applicable. For instance, we would advise against creating a custom event for "Send" where the "Submit" event doIAT(18) would suffice.
|Drops an image pixel.
|Drops a script pixel.
|Used to display the expanded portion of an expanding ad unit. Only click-to-expand banners require a doOpen call; the more common rollover-to-expand configuration does not require a doOpen call, or any code to detect the user's rollover. All expanded files require a close button with the doClose call.
|Used to close an ad unit. Necessary in the expanded portions of expanded ad units, in vokens, etc.

- Rev. Owusu Bempeh is saying former President Mills was killed
- He says though was diagnosed with cancer, he did not die a natural death
YEN.com.gh brings you the latest news in Ghanaian politics
Rev. Owusu Bempeh, founder and leader of Glorious Word International Ministry has made yet another shocking revelation that, former President J.E.A Mills was diagnosed with cancer, but did not die a natural death.
According to the man of God, the late Prof. Mills was brutally killed. Though he refused to give details as to who orchestrated the untimely death of the former NDC leader.

The late Ghanaian leader, passed away July 24, 2012, five months into the 2012 elections, after he returned from the United States for medical treatment.
Years after his sudden demise of Prof Mills, the cause of his death is still a mystery as several rumors have it that, he may have died after battling throat cancer.
PAY ATTENTION: Get all the latest news on the go with the YEN.com.gh app right here
But Rev. Owusu Bempah, in his latest outburst has disclosed that, the late President was murdered and did not die of cancer as being speculated by his NDC party members.
"Anyone who will say Atta Mills died his natural death is not telling us the truth. His death was not a natural death, I am a spiritualist and we don't come out with everything we see. Why do you think I was seriously saying someone had died on his fingers, so God has taken his anointing from him…?" he queried.

The Rev. Minister however insisted that, he could not fathom why some characters within the opposition NDC, will blame the recent killing of policemen on President Akufo-Addo. When they are unable to tell Ghanaians exactly what killed their former leader after years of an autopsy report.
"There is no country that people don't die. Even in the USA with their sophisticated security measures, people still die. Those NDC members screaming about insecurity, have suddenly forgotten about the death of Prof Atta Mills. We didn't understand his mysterious death under NDC, and in fact till date, we still don't know what killed him", he demanded to know.
Owusu Bempeh however, lashed out at some NDC members to desist from such unwarranted and needless attacks on President Akufo-Addo over their so-called security claims in the country.

"If they [NDC officials] don't want a problem, they shouldn't speak like angels, they shouldn't speak like no one died under their regime. If you see a tree shaking don't blame the tree blame the wind." he warned the opposition members.

- The Solar Analytics Smart Monitor is IP50 rated (front display) and must be installed inside an closed enclosure within the main sub board (with a lid for outdoor) or IP-65 rated external enclosure.
- The Solar Analytics Smart Monitor is typically installed at the point of common coupling for a house or business.
- The KR-63 / SC-23 must be mounted on a DIN Rail.
- The KR-63 / SC-23 requires only 2 pole spaces on a DIN rail.
- Additional space may be required for any additional equipment.
- All operating environmental conditions must be met (See KR-63 / SC-23 Data Sheet).
- The mounting location should not be exposed to direct solar irradiation.
ATTENTION: For 3 phase installs, it is recommended to install an additional 3 phase 10 A circuit breaker (CB) to power the KR-63. For additional information see Connecting the KR-63 to a Voltage Supply.
Recommendations for Mounting
- If installation space permits, vertical orientation is recommended for the mounting of the Solar Analytics Smart Monitor
Mounting the KR-63 / SC-23
The Solar Analytics Smart Monitor is typically installed at the point of common coupling for a home or business. This is because the CTs will have proximal access to the required circuits for measurement.
Here are some examples of the Solar Analytics Smart Monitor installed in various configurations.
Figure 1 KR-63 in separate DIN Enclosure
Figure 2 KR-63 in Main Load Centre on DB
The only way to mount a KR-63 is via DIN rail. Taking into consideration the space requirements mentioned above, an additional enclosure may be required to house the monitor. The black clips on the back may need to be pulled open slightly before clipping the KR-63 onto the DIN rail.
In the event that there is not enough space in the existing load centre of the distribution board, an additional enclosure may be required for the device to be installed.
Required (recommended) additional equipment
- DIN enclosure to fit 5 poles (2 for KR-63 and 3 for 3 phase CB). It is recommended have to a few of these extra in the truck when performing multiple Solar Analytics installs as each installation can be different.
Serial Number Sticker
It is important that the serial number sticker provided be affixed to the front of the DIN enclosure and to mark the circuit breaker which powers the Solar Analytics Smart monitor. Two stickers are provided in the box in a zip lock bag with the CT phoenix plug
Demounting the KR-63
Once mounted you will require a flat-head screwdriver (or similar flat rigid tool) to unhook one of the two back clips to demount the KR-63.
CAUTION: When doing this – fast and rough movement may cause the clips to break.

Italy has a new prime minister
Image via Prime Minister Enrico Letta's blog.
From Wikipedia:
Letta received from the president Giorgio Napolitano on 24 April 2013 the task of forming a new government, after weeks of deadlock following the 2013 general election. On 27 April 2013, Letta formally accepted the task of heading a new grand coalition government (with support from his party, right-wing People of Freedom and the centrist Civic Choice) and presented the list of members of his cabinet.
The third youngest Italian to become head of state, Letta became Italy's first prime minister to appoint an African Italian to a government post when he made Cécile Kyenge his minister of Integration.

Pepperoni pizza: avoiding a false cognate in Italy
We've written about "false cognates" (also known as "false friend") here before.
One of the most common false cognates — words or expressions that have often comically different meanings in Italian and English — is pepperoni pizza.
If you order a pep[p]eroni pizza in Italy, the pizzaiolo will make you a pizza topped with bell peppers (peperoni in Italian).
If you want a pizza like the one above (akin to the American pepperoni, made with salty and sometimes spicy dried sausage, thinly sliced), you need to order a pizza alla diavola, a devil's style pizza, a name owed to the fact that spicier sausage is generally used in Italy for this type of pizza.
Ciao, one of the Venetians' greatest gifts to the world
Ciao… It's a word that you hear nearly every day. Whether Italy, France, Germany, England, or the U.S.
It's one of those words — a popular salutation — that has become a thread in the fabric of our lives. From teenagers to their grandparents, from celebrities to Joe the Plumber, from New York to Los Angeles and every neighborhood in between, even if you don't use the word, you know what it means…
In English ciao is used exclusively as a salutation when saying good-bye.
In Italian, it's used as both a greeting and a farewell. And when saying good-bye, Italians will often say it twice: ciao ciao…
The word comes from sixteenth-century Venetian dialect, ciao from the Latin sclavus meaning slave.
It was commonly used at the court of Venice (at the height of the Most Serene Republic of Venice) to express respect as in the saying, "I am your humble servant."
In English it's commonly pronounced similarly to the word chow (/ˈtʃaʊ/).
In Italian, the oh in the (letter) o is more prominent (ˈtʃaːo).
The Venetians, who have a five- as opposed to seven-vowel system (like that in Italian), emphasize all the vowels: chee-ah-oh.
Such a small word but such a great legacy. All stretching back to a form of courtesy in Renaissance Venice.

Working on sunday is very grace according to St John Vianney
....very grace...?
I still have enough time to get to Mass. But I just found out I will be required to work Sundays now so I guess the question is no longer relevant.
This is a Jew-owned company. They have the nerve to claim their structure is like an upside-down pyramid, with the common worker at the top, the big, flat square of the pyramid base, and these common workers hand down their ideas to their supervisors and managers, who are BELOW them in the diagram, with the president of Home Depot at the very bottom where the point of the pyramid is..

Parents Protest Against Playground Apartments
As a last attempt to stop apartment houses being built in a school playground, parents have written to the United Nations children's organization UNICEF. In the letter they say the planned construction of the two seven storey buildings violates the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The parents say the apartment buildings would take away more than 40 percent of the playground next to the Engelbrekt school in central Stockholm.
The city of Stockholm says instead the children will be getting an underground sports facility, and the local councillor responsible says the lot in question has never been used as a playground. This is disputed by one of the parents, who tells the newspaper that children have played there for a century.
Another parent says the new underground facility won't be an acceptable replacement as according to the schedule some children will only be allowed to play there one hour a week.

Nico Hulkenberg announced yesterday that he would be joining Renault at the start of the 2017 season. Here at F1Today, we look at why the move makes sense.
He gets to work with a manufacturer team
"It has always been my dream to work for a manufacturer team."
A direct quote from Hulkenberg who admitted that working for a works team is a dream of his. The biggest benefit of a works team is that they will be more financially suited to adapt to the expensive fees in Formula One.
Renault have a much, much bigger budget than Force India and are expected to make bigger gains than the Silverstone based team in the coming years.
He may get a shot at the world championship
The second reason is intertwined with my last point. Renault will more than likely make more progress on their car than Force India due to the sufficient budget and this may result in Hulkenberg fighting for a championship down the line.
It is quite an ambitious target but at 29 years old, Hulkenberg needs to take a risk and move somewhere else if he wants to take all out glory. Renault themselves have set the target of becoming constructor champions by 2020 and if their prophecy comes to light, then the race winning car could be enough to give Hulkenberg the championship.
He will more than likely be a team leader
Hulkenberg never really got the opportunity to take command in a team and be the leader when he drove alongside more experienced drivers such as Rubens Barichello and Adrian Sutil, and similarly experienced drivers such as Paul di Resta and Sergio Perez.
However with six years of F1 experience on his back, Hulkenberg looks to be paired with a lesser experienced team-mate, with Kevin Magnussen, Jolyon Palmer and Esteban Ocon looking to fill the seat.
Hulkenberg's talent has not gone unnoticed, especially through the eyes of other drivers. Fernando Alonso produced a comment earlier in the year stating he was astonished that the German had not yet found himself in a front running team.
To escape the comparison to Sergio Perez
Few would argue with that since their partnership in 2014, Perez has done the better job on-track, most notably taking four podiums. When the Ferrari seat was on the table, Perez was favourite to take it, while Hulkenberg was rarely mentioned.
Hulkenberg may feel the need for a new team-mate to escape the talks of how his team-mate is performing better than him, and also to take on a new challenge of overpowering a new team-mate.

So many choices between Nice, Cannes but i added Monaco because i think it is a place that is worth a visit, for a walk around and sightseeing if nothing else.
Read more on each destination below
Oradour Sur Glane
Oradour-sur-Glane is a commune in the Haute-Vienne department in the Limousin region in west-central France. The original village was destroyed on 10 June 1944, when 642 of its inhabitants, including women and children, were massacred by a German Waffen-SS company. A new village was built after the war on a nearby site but on the orders of the then French president, Charles de Gaulle, the original has been maintained as a permanent memorial and museum.
Oradour – Collonges la Rouge 139km
Collonges la Rouge
Collonges-la-Rouge is a village in the Corrèze department in the Limousin region of France. Collonges la Rouge is entirely built with red sandstone from the local quarry and has been in exsistence since the 8th century ( The marketplaces date back to the 16th and 17th centuries, and the covered passage is listed as a historical monument.), when the monks of Charroux Abbey founded a priory. Peasants, craftesmen and tradesmen all move to the area and propspered around the abbey walls on the trade of Pilgrims who were travelling to Compestelle in Spain from Rocamadour.
Collonges la Rouge – Padirac 35km
Gouffre de Padirac
Padirac or Gouffre de Padirac is a cave located near Gramat, in the Lot département, in France. The chasm itself is approximately 99 m (325 ft) around its rim with a diameter of approximately 35 metres (115 ft). Visitors descend 75 m via a lift or a staircase before entering the cave system. The cave, at a depth of 103 metres (338 ft), contains a subterranean river system that is partly negotiable by boat. This cave system is regarded as "one of the most extraordinary natural phenomena of the Massif Central".
Padirac – Rocamadour 14km
Rocamadour, For nearly a thousand years, the narrow, lonely canyon of the Alzou has been home to a cluster of buildings clinging to the rock half way up the sheer cliffs; and from this improbable spot, a powerful call has gone out, drawing millions of the faithful to the shrine of the Black Virgin of Rocamadour. From very early times, a chapel dedicated to Our Lady existed here, looked after by a few Benedictine monks, but it was only after the discovery of the perfectly-preserved body of Saint Amadour in 1166 that a pilgrimage began to develop.
Rocamadour – Cahors 62km
Chief city of the Lot, Cahors lies in a meander of the river as it has for about 2000 years since the Romans founded it. That era was prosperous, although relatively few vestiges are visible (the underground car park contains a 55 m section of wall from the amphitheater). The medieval city, which timidly reformed after the upheaval of the Roman Empire's fall, was much smaller, confined to the eastern side of the meander by ramparts, and centered on the cathedral with its two domes.
Cahors – Carcassone 204km
The Cité de Carcassonne is a medieval fortified architectural group located in the French city of Carcassonne, in the department of Aude, in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. It is located on the right bank of the Aude, on the hill, in the south-east part of the actual city. It was the historic city of Carcassonne. The Cité de Carcassonne was founded in the Gallo-Roman period. It derives its reputation from double surrounding walls (3 km in length) with 52 towers. The town has about 2,500 years of history: it has seen the Romans, Visigoths,Saracens and Crusader
Carcassone – Arles 224km
Arles, is the third largest town in the Bouches-du-Rhone in population, but it is the largest township ("commune") in France in surface area. Arles is listed on three different types of UNESCO World heritage lists. Arles is the gateway to the Camargue, the delta of the Rhône River, among the most beautiful natural sites in Europe. Its fauna and flora, protected by the Regional Park of Camargue, are exceptionally rich and varied. To the north of the city stretches the Regional Park of the Alpilles, the second park in the Arles area, with agricultural land and Mediterranean forests, habitat for more than one hundred rare or protected species.
Arles – Carro 62km
Carro, located on the Côte Bleue on the Mediterranean coast is a port town, well known for its windsurfing, fishing and its rescue stations which has been in use since 1868, and still carries out many sea rescues thanks to its "unsinkable canoe". The port is home to 30 professional fishing vessels and can accommodate 200 pleasure boats in its port. The beach is next to the port where windsurfers take to the waves throughout the day. There is also a large motorhome "Aires" where you can park and watch the waves. There is electric hook ups, water and waste emptying facilities.
Carro – St Tropez 173km
St Tropez
St.Tropez can be dated back to ancient times when it is believed to have been a fishing village established by the Phoenicians. The town took its name from Torpes, an important Roman nobleman who converted to Christianity and was later martyred in 68AD. His body came ashore here (accompanied by a rooster and dog, the rooster who flew off to give Cogolin its name, he gave the town and the bay a patron saint who is still celebrated in festivals to this day.

I asked God
If it was okay to be melodramatic
And she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
And she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
Or not wear nail polish
And she said honey
She calls me that sometimes
She said you can do exactly what you want to
Thanks, God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
My letters
Sweet cakes God said
Who knows where she picked that up
What I'm telling you is
Yes yes yes.
-Kaylin Haught "God Says Yes To Me" from The Palm Of Your Hand
I'm amazed at the way I am blessed. Not that I want much, but the fact that I have everything I've ever wanted sometimes shocks me. My gratitude list is long and varied as I look around my life and see the results of all my asking. I have a loving relationship; my children are well and are being raised in the house I grew up in. We have material comforts, sure. Homes and cars and toys… more importantly we have a life in which we seek balance. Perfect.
What I've been bickering with God about lately is that a lot of my prayer's answers are equal parts blessing and burden.
- The big house with the big yard is a pain to paint, plow and mow.
- The college degree only begs more, to complete the set. A PhD. is on my bucket list, with the best of 'em.
- My calm and happy baby now knows how to spell. Even big words. Private, spelled chunks of conversation have been filed away in the baby book, with locks of hair and mini-footprints.
And, today, all of the gods of things mechanical were after me. The garage door opener was broken, one car had a flat, and the other needs an alternator. The motorcycle stalled in the driveway. Of the three lamps in my office, only one had a working light bulb. The television doesn't work, and I only found that out after finding the remote under the couch.
I mean, really.
Every single event, result, and person that is in my life today is the result of God saying yes to whatever I want. Even horrible things I've said like, "I hate that person." The answer was yes, and my hate only grew. "I want a cookie" (and another and another and another). The answer was yes, and it showed in my jeans.
It's time to ask for something else. Not stuff, which is bound to need an alternator on the same day every other thing in the house decides to break. Seeing as how the answer is yes, I'm going to ask for big things. Things like loving my neighbor, Like radiant health. Like abundant kindness. Stuff I can keep.
Thanks, amen.

How would you react hearing that your teenage daughter was caught making out with a guy in the neighbourhood? Like most of our parents, that child would be beaten and forced to believe kissing is a sin which ultimately leads to pregnancy. I am sure the only sex conversation some of us had as teenagers, were with our mothers and this was because we had just started menstruation; the two major advise then was 'don't talk to guys and don't allow guys touch you because you will get pregnant.'
Sex and everything around it is not something we freely talk about in this part of this world; it is a very sensitive topic only discussed amongst the elderly. But with the recent increase in child rape, rape, sexual assault and it's like this conversation is now beginning to get the necessary attention it once sought for.
As parents in this part of the world, dealing with sex-related discussions is a lot of work talk more about dealing with teen romance. It will be surprising to note that some of our parents still don't know how to own discussions like this and they end up scaring the child away.
Teen romance is not a new phenomenon and I am sure it is something we all experienced at some point in our lives. Every now and then, teenagers crush on their peers, celebrities and are actively engaged in the 'hunt for a partner'; knowing how to handle this stage and own this discussion as a parent is important in other not to sound judgemental or cause more harm than good in your teenager's life.
How should parents handle the teen relationship?
- Whatever you do, don't ridicule your kid no matter how unrealistic the crush or inappropriate the relationship. Your child's feelings are real and should be respected.
- Communication is key. If you make fun of his or her feelings, your child may become secretive about this one as well as future relationships.
- Try not to be judgmental. Discuss with your child what is important, in your family, about dating, sex and the bottom line when it comes to who your kid can become involved with.
- If you have reason to believe that the relationship has gone too far (the kids are experimenting sexually, for instance), you must step in. First, talk with your child alone, and discuss the reasons for refraining from sexual activity (the possibility of sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy).
- Some kids can be sneaky at times so it is important to have a curfew, stay involved in that child's life, don't allow that child stay home alone without a responsible adult present and if possible randomly check up on the other parent especially when your child sets up a sleepover at his or her friend's house.
To end this piece, read below this interesting post I found on Instagram about a young girl whose parents took her teen romance affair to the extreme and due to their actions, she isn't the same anymore.

What did I just READ?? 😰🤯… It's amazing how a "PASTOR" who thought his daughter was having sex and got pregnant(out of wedlock) sent her for an "ABORTION" instead of leaving her to bear the consequences… if you were really that mad at her wouldn't that have been the right thing to do as a PASTOR?? Now her life is ruined!!🙂 SWIPE!!!

A fresh salad is the perfect quick and easy summer meal. It takes minimal preparation and fills you up without weighing you down. Plus, it's a great way to use the produce that's in season: Think juicy berries, refreshing melons and sweet peppers. Now that summer's in full swing, we're sharing our five favorite summer salad recipes that are sure to be a hit with you and your family.
1. Indian-inspired salad
Chicken salad can be high in fat and calories, but this curried chicken salad with grapes and walnuts is diet-friendly and packed with health benefits. Sweet grapes help keep your blood pressure in check. Crunchy walnuts are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol. And flavorful curry powder can help improve digestion. Learn more about curry powder's health benefits in this video with Sharecare expert Kulreet Chaudhary, MD.

NYC, October 15, 2018- Dr. Robert Bard, medical director of Bard Cancer Diagnostics launches his official male-dedicated imaging and analysis program to support the growing male breast cancer cases in the northeast.
According to the Male Breast Cancer Coalition, government health reports show an est. of 2550 new cases in US with a mortality rate between 280-480. This indicates that over the past 10 years, new cases are up by 22% and mortality rate is up by about 19% from previous years. Advocates collectively attribute much of these numbers due to the lack of public information, misdiagnoses and the emotional resistance in men about a commonly "female" disease. "Our Mission is to educate people all around the world to the risk of breast cancer in men, ultimately giving men the same fighting chance that their female counterparts have... just like Lung Cancer, Brain Cancer and Liver Cancer-- it knows no gender, age or race." says MBCC co-director Cheri Ambrose. "We hope to have breast checks included in all annual physicals for men one day- combined with updated intake forms asking for cancer in families will go along way in helping to change the way breast cancer is viewed."
Dr. Bard's arsenal of high-end scanning solutions delivers real-time, accurate and non-invasive diagnostic conducts wide range of cancer diagnostic protocols including PREVENTION and EARLY DETECTION. As a seasoned "cancer hunter", Dr. Bard is a highly-published clinical authority in some of the most common cancers cases including prostate, (female) breast, lung and skin. Adding to his list of targeted programs, his design for male breast cancer screening means a special calibration of imaging paradigm to identify and pre-determine traces of IDC invasive ductal carcinoma and other malignancies in the tissues of the male breast often found in specific areas by studying the behavior of the tumor vascular flow under the skin. The program also addresses continued monitoring for RECURRENCE PREVENTION (which has been reported in a significant percentage of male breast cancer cases)."
Aside from a longstanding career in advanced cancer imaging, Dr. Bard spends additional time conducting educational seminars for the medical community and awareness projects on the public front. He allied with Awareness for a Cure, a non-profit group supporting the membership and fundraising of all local cancer orgs. He was recently elected as one of the top members of the Medical & Scientific Advisory Board for the Male Breast Cancer Coalition for his contribution to building a male cancer scanning and recurrence prevention program.

Solar Energy for Remote Locations
Solar energy is ideally used in situations where a remote source of power is needed and connection to the grid is too expensive. Some applications of solar energy in remote locations are as follows:
- Telecommunications
- Monitoring stations
- Traffic signs and remote phones
- Cathodic protection
For example, solar photovoltaics is a cost-effective solution to the problem of installing cellphone bases and other communications stations in remote areas. Telecommunications repeater stations, which usually consist of a receiver and transmitter, are ideal situations for the use of a small solar electric system with a battery backup. Today, thousands of these systems are found around the world. In addition to their low costs at installation, they are also low maintenance in the long run.
This same cost effective approach is used to power traffic signs, remote lights and remote telephones.
At remote monitoring stations around the world, weather data is collected, and again the need for reliability, independence and cheap power make solar installations ideal. You can read a profile of remote solar energy use at a location.
Cathodic protection is a unique industry.

Building Blocks: A Pet First Aid Kit
Just like you (hopefully) have a first aid kit for yourself and your family, it's important to also be prepared with a pet first aid kit. Nicks and scrapes are bound to happen if you have pets. And although none of us likes to think about it, natural disasters, injuries, and illnesses can and do happen both close to and far from home.
A first aid kit is a critical first step in being prepared should a pet emergency arise. With a little preparation and planning, pet parents can perform on the spot care to help or save their pet's life. Once stabilized, it will likely be important to have your pet seen. Animal Kind Veterinary Hospital is always here to answer questions, and if you are worried about your pet, don't hesitate to seek veterinary care immediately.Continue…
Wine and Whine? How to Teach Your Pet Table Manners
Do you spend each meal trying to ignore puppy dog eyes? Does dinner prep involve tripping over the dog or shooing the cat off the counter? If you struggle with poor pet table manners, you're not alone. Fortunately, Animal Kind Veterinary Hospital is here to help!
Are You Part of the Problem?
It doesn't take much to reinforce undesirable behaviors in pets. If you feed your dog from the table or pet your cat each time they're on the counter, you're actually contributing to poor pet table manners. The first step toward having a more polite pet is to check your own behavior and make any changes that might be necessary.Continue…
Out and About: The Rules and Limits of Dogs in Restaurants
Dining with dogs sounds like a great idea, but is it truly as fun as it sounds? For well-behaved, fully vaccinated dogs and canine lovers, it's a dream come true. For everyone else, well, dogs in restaurants are tolerated as long as they abide by the rules enforced by the Health Department. The al fresco experience isn't lost on dogs, and when it's done the right way (at the right place), everyone wins.
State and City
A few years ago, New York state legislature passed a bill that eased restrictions for dogs accompanying their owners on the patio or outdoor seating area. It's been three years now since NYC's health department followed suit, but each individual establishment can decide if they want to allow dogs on their property.
Troubled Waters: Saltwater Poisoning in Pets
When we think of beach and ocean safety, certain ideas immediately come to mind – drowning, sunburns, jellyfish, etc. Drinking too much salt water generally isn't one of them, but for our pets, this should be of particular concern.
Saltwater poisoning in pets is a serious and often overlooked risk. Review our beach safety tips to keep your day at the shore from turning into a tragedy.
Too Much of a Good Thing
Ingesting too much saltwater is toxic to dogs, cats, and humans. When the intestines contain excess salt (a condition known as hypernatremia), it causes water from the bloodstream to enter into the intestines. Many problems can result from hypernatremia, including death in extreme cases. Continue…

The scientists who discovered the strange feature are calling it a "lachrymal sabre", but for the predators who dare to mess with this type of stonefish, the unique switchblade just means trouble.

"We report on the discovery of a remarkable defensive specialisation in stonefishes that was identified during a [genetic] study of scorpionfishes and their relatives," opens a new study detailing the strange animal, now in the science journal Copeia.
A "remarkable defensive specialisation" indeed. When predators approach or attempt to eat this resourceful creature, the boney switchblade suddenly appears. The University of Kansas researchers who discovered the lachrymal sabre say it could act as a visual deterrent, or as a literal pain the mouth: Any larger fish who dares to swallow the stonefish is in for a rather unpleasant surprise. But it's also possible that the switchblade is used in fights between members of the same species.
Not much is known about stonefish, a colourful and strange-looking fish native to the Pacific and Indian oceans. And that's probably why the team, led by William Leo Smith of the KU Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum, were the first to discover the protuberance, which doesn't exist in any other fish known to science.
In addition to finding this previously-unknown feature, the genetic analysis revealed that stonefish are more closely related to flatheads, sea robins and scorpionfish than previously thought - a finding based on the analysis of 113 different physical characteristics and 5280 different genetic traits of 63 different stonefish species all equipped with the lachrymal sabre (phew, sounds like a lot of work).
"I don't why this hasn't been discovered before," said Smith in a statement. "It's probably because there are just one or two people that ever worked on this group. We took five or six families and were able to resolve the problems in their classifications. To have this really strong anatomical feature visible from the outside is really helpful. To have a big map of how everything is related and evidence for it is what we're all hoping for. We have this feature and get into the genetics of how it could have evolved."
All stonefish species with the sabre had it on their cheek below the eye. To unleash the switchblade, the fish trigger an unusually large number of ligaments and muscles that are attached to the lachrymal sabre system.
"There can't be any other reason for those muscles and ligaments except to control this mechanism," said the KU researcher. "This whole group of fishes is called the 'mail cheek fishes' or Scorpaeniformes, where the bones under the eye attach to the gill skeleton. Because all these muscles are attached to the gill skeleton, it allows for all this force which causes the lachrymal sabre to deploy."
Should the switchblade fail, the stonefish can rely on another potent defence: Venom. Stonefish are among the most toxic fish in the world, featuring poison strong enough to kill a human.
Nasty things, these are.

So I've been faithfully taking these pills that the acupuncturist gave me this morning for my lungs. They are a Chinese herbal preparation—or so I thought. Until I happened to look at the Ping Chuan Pian ingredients, which clearly list:
- apricot seed
- morus
- codonopsis
- licorice
- cynanchum
- cordyceps
- gecko
- citrus
- lapis
Yes, you read that right: Gecko. I have consumed Gecko. In fact, I took this "Chinese Herbal Food Combination" for weeks last winter as well. WTF? I guess I thought it was some kind of gecko plant. I don't know what made me notice it today and then search the interwebs, but from everything I can find, it is definitely not a plant: http://www.tcmassistant.com/herbs/ge-jie.html. Note this site calls it an herb and then goes on to call it a drug: "The drug is captured in summer, removed from the viscera, wiped, opened with bamboo piece to make the whole body flattened and straight, and dried at a low temperature." Another site had a picture of a gecko flattened in this manner. Hello, this was a living being, not an herb or a drug, no matter what you do with it after you kill it.
Definitely not vegan.
So I'm not taking an asthma pharmaceutical because it's tested on animals, has lactose in it, and is potentially harmful to my health, and now I'm not going to take this not-so-herbal preparation because it has geckos in it. I am going to keep my albuterol inhaler on hand for urgent situations, even though albuterol was likely tested on animals as well. But I'm going to keep looking for alternatives.
I wanna new drug, one that won't make me sick (in more ways than one).
