Outside of family, he found other angels who saw his potential and helped him rise to help him rise. A few years ago, I began researching for a memoir I wanted to write called Lonely at the Top—a personal journey to understand the legacy I had inherited. As part of this research I met Frank Sander, an 85-year-old retired Harvard Law School professor, also a Holocaust survivor who clerked on the Supreme Court when they decided Brown v Board. He was the driving force behind the creation of a summer program to try to diversify Harvard. It was through this program that my father was able to gain admittance in 1965 to the law school, giving him the credentials he needed to access the private sector.

If you were asked what Christianity is all about, what would you say? Believing in God? Going to Church every week? Reading the Bible? Being saved so you can go to heaven?
Jesus said the most important thing of all is to love the Lord your God with your whole being – heart, soul, mind and strength. Having a loving relationship with God is what Christianity is really all about. And while all those other things have their place, it is only as part of that personal relationship with God.
For centuries, God's people have engaged in practices that have proved vital for growing that loving relationship with God. We call these 'spiritual disciplines', and in this series you will look at the following seventeen areas of spiritual discipline:
1) Focus on God: worship, Bible study, meditation and prayer
2) Focus on others: fellowship, submission, serving and witnessing
3) Focus on ourselves: simplicity, giving, battling temptation and fasting
4) Focus on daily life: solitude, silence, giving thanks, confession and living for today
It is important to note that these things are not love for God themselves, rather they are a means to that end. Spiritual discipline is really self-discipline that has the spiritual goal of growing that love for God.
As you work through the various areas of spiritual discipline you will see how each, in its own way, works towards this goal of loving God. Each study guide comprises a daily reading and reflection, and weekly questions and discussion points for small groups to work through. There are also free, accompanying video teachings for each of the sessions to really help bring each topic alive!
If you would like to find out more about each of these four small group study guides, you can go to the Small Group Central store, or watch the introductory video.

Roads are rendered really "fat"Posted by Picard-Lindelöf on 20 November 2018 in English (English)
I am noticing that on the rendered map, roads are rendered as really thick lines, which makes complicated intersections in cities look pretty ugly unless you reaaally zoom in on them. For example, I am working on this area
You cannot really even see all the roads as separate roads although the two motorway links (in between the tunnels) to the west of the square are actually drawn 10 meters apart. To the east of the square it is even more of a mess...
Since we create OGF maps for enjoyment and aesthetic beaty, my question is: How do you deal with this?
Have I drawn this way too small? Or should I just ignore it?
Comment from Rustem Pasha on 20 November 2018 at 20:56
Openstreetmap street rendering always was too thick to accurately present roads. As of today it is far better than because the connectors are thinner what allows to draw better interchanges.
But in fact your roads are a bit too small. For example width of one traffic lane usually vary between 2.75 to 4.0 meters (the higher road class the wider) and additionally the roads have shoulders (additional 1.5-2,5 meters) on their outer border. There is also in two way roads like highways cntral reserve (minimum two meters) and inner shoulder with the size of 0.5 metter. That means average two way (two lanes each) highway should have 2*(2.5 m + 2*4.0 m+0.5 m) + 2 m = 24 meters. In the highway of that width (here) you put additionally:
tertiary road - 2*(2.0+3.5) = 11 meters.
crossroads T-type - 12 meters curve (unfortunatelly invisible on the map)
a curve on the access road - another 12 meters.
access road itself - 4.0 m +2*0,5 m = 5 meters
two reserves - 2*2.0 m = 4 meters
So there is a lack of totally 44 meters of width.
Also when you change the layer you must change the height of the road position about 5 meters. That means the access road should be minimum 200 meters long, in high class roads I recommend to double that value.
Hope that helps.
Comment from Picard-Lindelöf on 20 November 2018 at 21:17
Thanks for the calculation! I am actually struggling a bit with this motorway tunnel. Outside the city it is easy to create big interchanges, but in the city with the tunnel it is more difficult.
I think I will have to remake the exits from the tunnel a couple of times before they are right...
Comment from Rustem Pasha on 20 November 2018 at 21:25
I would recommend moving the northern way these 44 meters to the north and then move the access roads to the northern side of Erlentalerstrasse (keeping in mind the required lenght). Also the access to the southern way is too short. I would move it closer to the station and connext with Diedstrasse instead of Lilienstrasse. It's probably the least damaging solution.
Comment from histor on 20 November 2018 at 21:26
And to the 44 m of the clculation of Rustem Pasha you need 8 to 9 m for a two-track streetcar line (or 7 m with 1.000 m spur).
And please do not set an end of the ramp direct at the tunnel. If the forking of the streets are in the tunnel, your ramp must end as tunnel. Or otherweise start or end of the ramp and the motorway lay on open space and at same level.
Comment from histor on 20 November 2018 at 21:33
And why your S-Bahn west of Stephansplatz has a level crossing instead of a bridge over the southern track??
Comment from Rustem Pasha on 20 November 2018 at 21:56
@histor I didn't consider the addition of space for the streetcar because it lays on the ground and can be put above the higway tunnel. Of course it causes some engineering difficulties but they can rather be ignored...
Comment from Picard-Lindelöf on 20 November 2018 at 22:00
I have reworked the area we are talking about. It is now the type of motorway exit with the access roads running parallel to the actual motorway.
Now Lilienstraße has a turn at the end to connect to Erlentaler Straße a bit better.
The motorway tunnel has a width of about 30m and the access road lengths are now 120m in the tunnel plus 50m above ground each (only the one on the southeast is shorter)
The width between Lilienstraße and Erlentaler Straße and the rail tracks is about 10m, so the tram line should fit there.
It still looks a bit cramped but I think this is an improvement over the previous version??
Histor do you mean this crossing? Xou are right I should probably change it. But I think it will be enough to change it from a crossing to two croccovers so a train can change from the north track to the middle track and then from the middle to the south track
Comment from histor on 21 November 2018 at 09:52
(Histor do you mean this crossing? ) - Yes. You have two S-Bahn lines with heavy traffic. State of the art then is no forking with a lot of switches. Uptown from Stephansplatz you may use only a switch, but downtown from northwest to Stephansplatz should be a flyover about the track from Stephansplatz to the southwest. Both tracks to Stephansplatz then run parallel and at Stephansplatz the trains on both tracks stop at both sides of a platform and then - after the platform - both tracks come together via a switch t one track to the east.
Now you have a lot of switches and allways the danger of colision of trains.

Ecclesiastes 7:5
5It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.
One does not simply lick ice cream and put it back in the grocery store freezer. Police say they're in hot pursuit of a cold-hearted ice cream tamperer who went viral last month with her antics. The woman was captured on video licking a tub of Blue Bell Ice Cream, then putting the lid back on and returning it to the Walmart freezer in Lufkin, Texas. The nine-second clip has been viewed more than 11 million times since it was posted to Twitter on June 29. "What kind of psychopathic behavior is this?" a user wrote in a tweet with the clip. Others reacted with shock and disgust to the blatant act of food tampering.
Police say they worked with Blue Bell to identify the location in the video. They quickly followed up and identified the woman through surveillance video obtained from the store.
Detectives believe they have the woman identified and the investigation is ongoing. Police say they intend to file charges. Blue Bell thanked customers for raising concerns about the video in a statement on the company's website. The company says it takes food tampering very seriously and will not tolerate tampering with its products.
Such temptation of going viral, appreciated or followed in social media is addictive. Many uploaders have engaged in crazy activities, created curiosities and dared creativeness. Social media can be used for good purposes to inform others of real issues or challenge followers to be productive and useful to society. They can mislead and dare others to follow their crazy antics that may eventually ruin one's life. It says in Proverbs 15:31-32, 31Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise. 32Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.
How great it would be when social media is used more often to promote smart living. Be smart to follow the wise on social media. Be a decent example to your followers also.
Lord Jesus, protect the integrity of Your servant on social media.

returning to earthsea/of wizards and warlocks
I'm still ruminating about the end of the Harry Potter saga. The mainstream media's reaction has always interested me. They continue to be bemused by the idea of a novel taking the world by storm, and infiltrating popular culture. Never mind the fact that people were writing "Frodo Lives!" on subway walls 40 years ago, or the fact that The Lord of the Rings trilogy was extraordinarily successful, and, as far as wizards go, Gandalf the Grey is as well-known as Merlin, and is arguably the favorite and most-beloved of wizards amongst nerds and geeks world-wide.
I'm not trying to take away anything from J.K. Rowling's accomplishment. It is not an easy thing to write one book, much less seven. And to have them become extraordinarily popular is a wonderful feat.
A quantitative comparison of the Harry Potter series versus the Earthsea Cycle.

Contrast this to The Lord of the Rings, which is only a measly 1,216 pages including the Foreword, Prologue, and Appendices.
Sources: amazon.com, wikipedia
But I think that literary debts need to be accounted for. Whether intentional or not, Hogwarts owes a lot to the Island of Roke, the center of Earthsea, which is the world created by the inimitable author Ursula K. Le Guin.
Interestingly, the titular character of the first book, Sparrowhawk, later known as Ged the Archmage, has a lot in common with Harry Potter. Which therefore means he also has a lot in common with Lord Voldemort. In fact, it seems more apt to compare Ged to Voldemort. Both were orphans, both were born with incredible power, both had massive egos, and both screwed around with the Dark Arts. But while Ged learned his lesson about playing with the Dark Side, and with this hard-earned wisdom eventually became the Archmage of Roke, slaying dragons, restoring kingdoms, returning balance
to the Force, umm, to the balance, and even settling down with a woman, Voldemort went on to be a ruthless mass-murderer and was generally not a nice guy.
Which brings in another comparison: Anakin Skywalker. I suppose he falls somewhere midway in the continuum. While not an orphan, he was born to pretty crappy conditions, considering that he was a slave. But like Ged and Voldemort, he was born with incredible power. Like Ged (and presumably, like Voldemort), he grew impatient with his Master and felt that he was being held back. Like Ged, this eventually leads him to dabbling with the Dark Side of the Force. But whereas Ged learns the error of his ways, Anakin gives himself up wholly to the Dark Side. But whereas Voldemort dies a wondrously anti-climactic death, still convinced that he was going to win, Anakin redeems himself by showing mercy to his son, and, naturally, in the process, ends up dying.
To go full circle, you could compare Anakin to Severus Snape. Both grew up, again, in crappy conditions. Both were extremely gifted in the Force/in magic. Both (probably) turned to the Dark Side both to escape the fear, ridicule, and distrust of their peers, and probably to win back/save the woman they loved. But whereas Anakin marries Padme, turns to the Dark Side, contributes to the cause of her death, gives himself wholly in service of the Dark Side and the Emperor, then attempts to capture and probably kill, or at least pervert, his kids, Snape loses Lily to James, turns to the Dark Side, contributes to the cause of Lily's death, but then ends up switching sides completely, giving himself wholly in service to Albus Dumbledore, and attempts to protect the son of the woman he loves. Both are killed by their respective Dark Lords (Anakin by absorbing all that Force Lightning from Palpatine, Snape by getting killed by Voldemort's pet snake.) And while both end up redeemed, I think Snape gets the raw deal here. Anakin got what he deserved, but Snape just ends up screwed.
(For some reason, finishing Deathly Hallows has only reinforced my belief that I am going to someday die a pointlessly violent death.)
There was a point to this post, but it seems to have eluded me.

Sega and Studio Saizensen's Blade Arcus Rebellion From Shining came out back on March 14th, 2019 for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan. It was a follow-up to the 2016 outing for PS3, PS4, and Steam, featuring characters from Sega and Media Vision's Shining Resonance Refrain. Since the game only released in Japan a lot of news sites in the West skipped over its coverage, but there was one thing that gamers noticed when they had a chance to finally get their hands on the PS4 and Switch copies of Blade Arcus Rebellion From Shining: the PS4 box art censored out Pairon's navel, legs and thighs.
Twitter user Wholesome Tsunderelf posted up a comparison shot of the box art for the Nintendo Switch version of the game and the PS4 version, with the PS4 version cropping the image just above Pairon's navel.
Common Sony, you re just being pathetic now pic.twitter.com/XTIKHrTCGy
— WHOLESOME TSUNDERELF (@XanderStabbity) May 5, 2019
As you can see the cover for the Switch shows off practically all of Pairon's body, which is how she appears in the sample CG art for the game, which you can purchase from over on Okini Land.
Now some people might jump to the defense of Sony, claiming that since the Nintendo Switch's box is thinner and longer it allows them to fit all of Pairon on the cover, and that since the PS4 has a blue bar over the top, they had to crop out her navel thigh and the side of her buttocks. Well, that theory was promptly shot into the dirt when OAG reader GSOne made a quick mock-up using the PS4's box dimensions to create a cover that included all of Pairon's body just like the Nintendo Switch box art.
Additionally, even if the image was too thin, they could have easily widened the canvas slightly so that they would have room for the title and for all of the art featuring Pairon.
We saw a similar bit of peculiar censorship transpire recently with Koei Tecmo's Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland, where the PS4 version cut off the art so that you couldn't see all of Lulua's body, while the Nintendo Switch version of the box art allowed gamers to see the full body of the character. Koei Tecmo claimed that this was due to retail stores in the West blocking off the title of games if they're too low on the box.
Again, some gamers made up some mock images of how the full image of the character could be depicted on the box, keep Sony's blue bar on the top, and the logo for the game without compromising the integrity of the artwork. But the censorship was far less easy to defend with the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, which saw the PS4 box art drastically altered from the Switch version, as depicted below courtesy of Nintendo Soup.
As you can see, Athena was put on some cheap golden armor and all of her midriff and bare cleavage were duly covered up for the PS4 version of the game.
What's so bizarre is that in the case of Blade Arcus Rebellion from Shining, the PS4 comes with a reversible cover that unfolds so that you can get a full look at Pairon as she was intended to be viewed. Those who purchased the game shared the reversible cover, which you can check out below.
So technically the PS4 version wasn't entirely censored… just the art on the front of the box.
Also, apparently the content in the game itself isn't censored either.
Some CG images were shared from within the game showcasing some NSFW outfits that some of the characters sport, along with a CG sequence where the characters attend a hot spring and we get the obligatory fan-service shot. You can check the images out below.
The real kicker here is that Blade Arcus Rebellion From Shining is rated CERO C, so that's a 15+ rating in PEGI terms or a 'T' for Teen rating in ESRB terms.
If I had to take a wild guess as to what was going on, I would say that in order to keep Sony's censorship officers at bay, they issued a very tame cover for the PS4 version while still tucking some eye-catching fan-service images into the game itself. And given that Sony doesn't review every game equally when it comes to their censorship policies, it's completely possible that Blade Arcus Rebellion From Shining was given a pass so that they didn't have to add any of those mysterious lights to the CG images or extra steam.
Of course, the only way we could know for sure is if the censorship officer from Sony gave a rundown of what was and wasn't okay with the game, and if Sega confirmed it. However, Sony has kept a fairly tight lid on what sort of criteria they use to judge and determine how and why a game needs to be censored, so we'll likely never know.
(Thanks for the news tips Voice of Fanservice, Omar Garcia, Red, and GSOne)

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act protects workers during certain types of layoffs. If you're an employer who is planning a layoff, the WARN Act may require you to give a written 60-day notice to your employees and other parties.
Simple time tracking that syncs with payroll.
If you're a small business, the law might not affect you. The WARN Act generally applies to companies with more than 100 employees, though there are exceptions, which we'll cover later in this article.
If you do employ more than 100 employees, however, you may need to comply with the WARN Act. Here's what you need to know.
Who needs to follow the WARN Act?
The WARN Act generally covers companies that employ 100 or more people.
Remember, even if you don't hit the 100-employee threshold, you'll still have other US labor laws to follow when terminating an employee. And keep in mind that most states have at-will employment policies, which means you can usually cut off your relationship with an employee without giving advance warning.
You won't need to count employees who:
- Have not worked for you for at least six months in the past year
- Work fewer than 20 hours per week on average
- Were hired for a temporary project (or hired to work at a temporary facility)
- Were fired for performance issues
- Leave voluntarily
- Were offered another position within a reasonable commuting distance but declined the job
Here's an important note to keep in mind: Employees who have worked less than six months in the previous year and those who work fewer than 20 hours per week are entitled to receive notice. But you don't have to count them in the 100-person threshold.
When does a layoff fall under the WARN Act?
According to the US Department of Labor (DOL), the WARN Act applies if an employer:
- Permanently or temporarily lays off more than 50 employees by closing a single plant or facility
- Lays off more than 500 employees at one location within a 30-day period
- Lays off 50-499 workers and the total number accounts for at least 33% of the total workforce at one location
- Reduces the hours of 50 or more workers by more than 50% for each month over a six-month span
What do employers need to do under the WARN Act?
If a layoff meets the conditions specified under the WARN Act (see above), the law requires you to provide written notice to the following people at least 60 calendar days before the layoff occurs.
These people include:
1. Employees or their representatives (e.g., a labor union)
You need to give notice to managers, supervisors, hourly workers, and salaried workers to help them plan accordingly. If your employees are represented by a union, your company should give the 60-day notice to the union representative, who will decide how and when to break the news to your employees.
Q: What Are Business Certifications? What Are the Benefits?Hiring and Growth
The notice should be in writing and include:
- A clear warning about the upcoming layoff or plant closure
- Whether this layoff will be permanent or temporary (which is defined as six months or less)
- The exact date the layoff will happen
- Details around severance benefits (if applicable)
- An explanation of bumping rights (if applicable). This is when an employee is laid off by being replaced by another employee.
- Who employees should contact for more information
2. State dislocated worker unit
You also need to notify your state dislocated worker unit to help minimize the impact the layoff may have on the community.
The state dislocated worker unit is made up of professionals who help laid-off employees with their transitions. This can include career counseling, job search assistance, and help getting COBRA and unemployment insurance.
3. Local chief elected official
Finally, you need to notify your chief elected official of the impending layoffs. For example, this could be your mayor or state representative. This official can help prepare your community before the layoffs occur and ensure employees receive the services and protection promised under the WARN Act.
What happens if a business violates the WARN Act?
If an employer violates the WARN Act, they can be liable for back pay and benefits for each affected employee for every day the law is violated, up to a total of 60 days.
In addition, the employer can owe penalties up to $500 per day if they do not warn the local government about the layoff. You can avoid this $500 penalty by paying each affected employee within three weeks after the layoff.
For more information about WARN Act penalties, head on over to this DOL FAQ page.
Are there any exceptions to the WARN Act?
You may not have to give the 60-day notice if:
- Your business is considered a "faltering company," which means you're trying to find new capital or get new business and giving notice would ruin your chance of doing so
- You have unexpected business circumstances
- There's been a natural disaster, like an earthquake or hurricane
Q: How Does PTO Rollover Work? Can I Cap the Number of Days Rolled Over?Team Management
If your company can prove any of these conditions have been met, you won't be bound to the 60-day notice. Instead, your business will need to give as much warning as possible and also explain why you couldn't give sufficient notice.
Do states have their own WARN laws?
Yes, some states have their own WARN laws in addition to the federal WARN Act. These include California, Illinois, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
State WARN laws typically impose extra or more restrictive requirements on employers, so be sure to check with check with your state to stay compliant.
As a reminder, the WARN Act doesn't tend to affect small businesses. Instead, it typically applies to businesses who need to terminate 50 or more employees at a time.

A small town in Italy has not seen a birth of a single baby until this week. No inhabitants of Ostana, Italy have given birth to a baby since the 1980s, yet that has all changed with the arrival of the newest town member.
The Washington Post relays details about the small town and the reason for its population decline over the decades.
"According to La Stampa, the town has only 85 inhabitants, including newborn Pablo. Its population has continuously fallen — a fate shared by many other Italian towns and villages."
Mayor of the small town, Giacomo Lombardo, spoke on the matter of the town's decrease in population.
"The real decline started in 1975, with 17 babies between 1976 and 1987, when the last boy was born – until little Pablo."
Lombardo then shared that the town will celebrate the new turn of events and remain hopeful that this may mean a turnaround in the population issue.
Although the mayor is hopeful, the Post notes the issue that may keep any sort of increase from happening.
"[T]he population decline will be hard to stop, no matter what ideas Lombardo comes up with. Younger Italians in particular say there are few attractive job prospects in rural areas. Many have moved to cities, leaving their hometowns to the elderly. Ostana, which is in northern Italy, has only one shop, a bar and two restaurants, according to the Italian news site the Local."
Parts of Northern Italy have experienced the steepest population decline over the past couple of decades and have been the hardest hit in the country due to unavailable opportunities for career and lower quality of life.
For the first time in 28 years, a baby has been born in this #Italian town https://t.co/xSzYICvBDL a tiny town of #Ostana has 85 inhabitants
— Javed Kayani (@Javed_Kayani) February 1, 2016
As the publication notes, some towns have put strict rules in place to help to ensure town members are healthy and to slow down the death rate. One such rule involves making it "mandatory for its inhabitants to attend a health check. The expressed goal of that initiative: slow down death rates to keep the town alive. Skeptics joked that the idea came close to 'making it illegal to die.'"
The town of Gangi offered an attractive incentive to bring people to the town. Part of the island of Sicily, Gangi's council decided to sell about 20 houses for less than $2. Fifty people accepted the opportunity but were expected to renovate their own properties. Gangi is much larger than Ostana, having a population of 7,000, yet the council fears that the town may be facing a similar fate as the town of Ostana.
Baby Pablo was certainly a welcome arrival to the people of Ostana, and Lombardo was quoted as saying, "It's great to finally have someone born here, and it shows that our efforts to reverse population decline are slowly working,"
Lombardo has been busy attempting to create jobs for the town's inhabitants as well as to attract new members to the town. The Washington Post relays how the decline has impacted even the mayor's own family, who were then convinced to remain due to job creation.
"Lombardo has tried to create jobs in order to prevent other young people from leaving the town. Pablo might be the first indication that his strategy is working. His parents wanted to move away several years ago but stayed after they were offered the opportunity to work at a mountain refuge."
The Telegraph shares about an additional small hilltop town in Italy for which a campaign has been launched in order to the save it.
Last year, a campaign was launched to save Civita di Bagnoregio, a spectacular hilltop village, from collapse because of erosion. The village, which once had a population of 3,000, has shrunk to as few as half a dozen residents during the winter, although it is visited by 600,000 tourists a year.

discussion fetishism is built on the outdated and fallacious view that absolute truth can be discovered out of nothing. all arguments are built on assumptions, and productive discussion is only possible when some or all of those assumptions are shared. i will simply never be able to have a productive discussion with someone who does not accept certain things i believe and in many cases attempting to do so only validates disgusting and hateful views.
@dankwraith When there is no shared foundation, the discussion becomes shit-flinging. Which some people enjoy as well!
@dankwraith this really clicked for me when I took symbolic logic in college, and realized that every argument is just a complicated if-then statement
@dankwraith yeah. It's absolutely true with fascists and crypto-fascists. Most other positions share at least some assumptions tho.
@dankwraith this is only true in extreme cases, with most people the task is to find out what your common agreements are and then to demonstrate that your position follows from those beliefs more than the beliefs of the other person. Plus there's always the added bonus that you see holes in your own argument and can refine/adjust it accordingly. I will happily debate with pretty much anyone who is arguing in good faith and shows at least some chance of being willing to adjust their beliefs when presented with refutations of their arguments.

When I think of candy I think of chocolate bars, fruity flavors and lollipops. But it seems some individuals (not judging) would like their candy to be a bit on the disgusting side. So here are some candy choices I don't want to see my children bring home on Halloween night. To be more clear, here is a list of gross candy that I wouldn't eat and I don't want to see my children eat. (shudders). What are your thoughts? Do you like gross novelty candy or would you prefer the simple satisfaction that a snicker's bar or a kit kat can bring. At least you don't have to see these gross candy product that often as they seem to pop only on Halloween with any frequency, much like Dracula, the Mummy and very short ghosts.
But if you are a fan of revolting candy that would make your Mom cringe, here are some of the worst or best gross candies.
Box of Boogers
Tagline: Tandy Gummy Boogies that Look and Feel Real!
Grossest Description: The largest boogers measure about 1 inch long. Amazing!
Flavors: Snottermelon, Sour Green Boogy, and Lemon Loogy
Lauren's Thoughts: I'm so glad they feel real, I'm just hoping these candy boogers don't taste real.
Not sure what they really look like? Well, no problem, here is a better picture and it looks like you get to see a candy booger in action too. Great!
Cherry Liquid Candy Blood Bags
Tagline: Your body won't reject this delicious candy blood
Grossest Description: Red liquid candy is packaged in real blood bags, just like the intravenous bags used at hospitals!
Interesting Fact: The flavor preferred by top heart surgeons and thirsty vampires alike!
Lauren's Thoughts: In some ways this is a precursor for our childrens' futures, as most of them will probably be diabetic with high blood sugar. Get them started early, I say!
Sour Liquid Candy Urine Samples
Tagline: Wait until people see you drinking your own pee pee sample.
Grossest Description: Just unscrew the cap and enjoy!
Good to Know: You've never had so much fun with a medical container
Lauren's Thoughts: Many children will grow up around the influence of drugs. Is it really smart to get them use to handling urine samples? This could easily lead to a life of failed attempts at passing drug tests for their employers. Just saying…
And there you have it, some of the most gross Halloween candy I have come across and wouldn't you know it, they all involve bodily fluids. Mucus (snot), blood and lovely urine. Just what every child wants on Halloween. Enjoy your Halloween this year! Oh, if you are interested in buying these unusual candies, try the Candy Warehouse.

No matter if you hold a grand opening, introducing a brand-new product or service, have a worldwide sale, sponsor a charity event, or only throw a major party, hosting a successful event might improve your brand visibility, and earn plenty of traffic, and significantly benefit your local Search engine optimization effort.
Here are ten advantages to be reaped from event advertising. Get Brand Exposure and News Mentions – A event can attract plenty of media attention if its charity related. Pay attention and see which media reps are currently promoting and attending them. Get names and contact details for your very own event. More unusual and the bigger case, the better the media coverage. Try to come up. All may stop in and will benefit your brand, as will recall the advertising. Be certain you are ready to manage the volume, with staff on hand. You won't only see sales, but you stand to gain more regular clients if you produce a good impression.
Reach a Targeted Audience – In case your event is centered on a certain service or product, then people who attend will be prospective clients who are especially intrigued in that service or product. For example, if you are a salon that specializes in hair extensions and also you put on a demonstration where individuals could see the merchandise and how they are emplaced, ask questions and learn more about the options, then you will probably bring in anyone within a 30 mile radius who's intrigued in getting hair extensions. By tailoring your event to the kind of clients you hope to attract, you're able to target your desired demographics exclusively.
They'll get to see your services or products first hand, and meet the individual behind the company. This creates a memorable impression and also establishes a connection you cannot reach through any other kind of marketing. Make Valuable Connections – In the process of hosting an event, you are bound to produce a slew of valuable contacts and relations as you go about the advertising process. From news press contacts to caterers to neighboring company owners, your virtual Rolodex is going to swell with company cards from a wide range of significant people about town. Next time you host an event or assist a nearby company to host an event you will be ready! – 6. Boost Your Local Search engine optimization Campaign With Valuable Citations – As that you promote your event, you will obviously list it on each local calendar that gets published, online and in print.

In All You Can Ever Know, Nicole Chung shares her experience as a transracial adoptee, pulling back the curtain on the realities and struggles of being a person of color adopted by white parents. From the first page, her memoir captures your heart and mind, asking you to examine your own preconceived notions about adoption. We are honored that Nicole graciously agreed to chat with us about her thought processes of writing and sharing her story.
A special thanks to Sachi Argabright for working with us on these questions. Some links are affiliate links. Find more details here.
In the early passages of your book you talk about the idyllic "tale of your birth parents," and how you were told that their vague story was "all you can ever know" about them. What about that specific phrase resonated with you to the point you chose it as the title of your memoir?
I chose that title before I wrote the book, when it was out on proposal. At first, I liked it simply because it was a reference to that old line I heard growing up, whenever we ran up against the limits of what we knew about my origins: "That may be all we can ever know." The second-person "you" made me feel like I was including the reader in my questions and my discoveries. But when I actually began writing the book, I started thinking more and more about that word, "can"—how it hints at information and secrets and history withheld; how all of that could only be requested, at a certain time, and granted by permission. I think it is both an open and inviting phrase, and an acknowledgment of the real barriers I faced—some self-imposed, many the result of choices made by others—when looking for the truth.
You note in All You Can Ever Know how important reading and writing have been in your life. When did you know you needed to write your story?
Not until several years after I searched for my birth family. I didn't begin writing and publishing pieces about that until five or six years post-reunion, and even then it took me a while to realize that what I probably had was a full-length book, not just a few scattered essays on the subject. I was getting a lot of questions (mostly good ones!) from readers who told me they had never read a transracial adoptee's perspective on adoption before. I never saw my story or stories like mine in the mainstream adoption discourse. I wanted to make a little more space, for myself and for other transracial adoptees, if possible. There were other things I wanted to (and did) write about, too, but I felt as though this particular book would not leave me alone until I at least tried to write it.
Your memoir is separated into four sections, which represent the four distinct parts of your journey to learn more about your birth family. Can you tell us more about why you chose this structure for your book?
The four-part structure was accidental, I'm afraid! I divided it where it seemed to make the most sense—where there were big shifts in the story, a big event or question answered. It used to be three, but then the first part seemed too long; we weren't getting to the search, the big questions, fast enough. And then I restructured the entire first half of the book based on this weird dream I had, and moved the beginning of the search up, and what emerged was a four-part narrative.
Writing about family can be an incredibly difficult process. How did you approach this project knowing that this intimate story about your life would one day make its way into the world? How did that influence your writing process?
It was certainly daunting at times, but I took some comfort in the fact that I always knew I was writing a book focused on my adoption: growing up adopted, questions I had about my origins, my decision to search for my birth parents at the same time I became a mother myself. And I knew I could write about those events and feelings and revelations, because I had done it before. It was never going to be my entire life story, everything that had ever happened to me and how I felt about it—which I think really confused my mother, because at one point she was like, "Wait, you aren't famous; who's going to read your memoir?"
As for writing about my family, I consulted them often, sent them my first full draft for comment, and just endeavored to make sure they were okay with what I was sharing and not surprised to see any of it. Which they weren't, because we'd already had the hard, necessary conversations years before. They were all wonderful and very understanding and respectful of what I was trying to do, especially my sister—which I appreciated immensely. I couldn't have written or published this without their support.
When people think about adoptions, they often imagine them with a fairy tale ending, but that's not always the case. What are some misconceptions people often have about adoption, and how did you approach those misconceptions in your memoir?
There are many, but I think the biggest misconception I personally deal with, on an ongoing basis, is the assumption that adoption is always this straightforward story. Many people see it as something both unequivocally good and far simpler than it truly is. Many believe that a child's race is irrelevant in the face of a family's love. Sometimes I also feel as though some people want or expect me to say something against the entire practice of adoption, and that is also not the narrative I'm interested in advancing. What I want to do is highlight some of its complexities, its nuances, and I also want many more stories by adoptees at the forefront.
As for how I approached the story, knowing that many people think they understand adoption but might not necessarily understand it—I just tried to tell the truth of my life, of my family, of my adoption. One story cannot possibly represent all of the adoptions and adoptive families out there, but one story told well, I thought, could help others understand just a little more about what it is like to grow up as a transracial adoptee in a white family, and then go in search of your lost roots.
You talk about reading being a form of escapism when you were younger. What types of books did you read and how did they influence you?
As I mentioned in the book, I specialized in reading (and writing) stories about spunky heroines. I loved mysteries and fantasy stories. But really, I would read almost anything. I spent so much time in my school and local library, just working my way through those middle-grade and young-adult shelves. I can think of many authors I loved, but probably these stories' shared role—and greatest influence—was just how they made space for me to dream and imagine other lives beyond my life and my small white town.
For readers looking for more books on the subject of adoption, what titles would you recommend?
I am asked this often, and it is honestly very difficult to name many books—the vast majority of books focused on adoption aren't by adoptees. Some books by adopted writers that have meant something to me: Litany for the Long Moment by Mary-Kim Arnold, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal by Jeanette Winterson, The Language of Bloodby Jane Jeong Trenka, The Mistress's Daughter by A. M. Homes.

Smuggler's Hide (World) Synopsis[edit]
Smuggler's Hide is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Denkard Subsector of Gateway Sector.

To wherever you want to take him or her, she will oblige.
There had been a period when the Bangkok get in touch with women had been steadfastly prevented by the important and the famous men in the community. However, things have modified in a big way nowadays in the adult market, and these women are deliberated as to be professional escorts in Bangkok, especially with blond Russian escorts, just like some of the other women working in different careers.

Myself Nina, a resident of the city of Moscow, Russia, a fashion designer by profession, working with Russian69 as an escort, at my leisures.

It has been 2 years, I am associated with Russian69 , and had visited Bangkok several times for accompanying men from round the world. Is my next trip to Bangkok, scheduled for you? Separated at a distance from my relatives and friends, I joined escort services for the purpose to make life here enjoyable and cut down the void that was growing around me.

Russian erotic massage in Bangkok Our Russian Erotic Massage is one of the best service and many of our client avail this. Russian Lesbian show in Bangkok Aside from massage, we are offering a lesbian show that will arouse your sexual feeling.
European and Russian Lesbian massage Who would have thought that the touch of the woman better than another woman? Make the Christmas trip to Bangkok the most memorable one? For Russia Girls Click Here! Streets are filled with aggressive ladyboys. Patpong night market and Patpong Red Light District are one and the same venue … pretty much. The night market is in between the gogo bars and some additional bars are located in adjacent side streets.
Talking about bars, I never recommend Patpong as a place to visit for the simple reason that it has gotten a bad reputation as a place where tourists are tricked into scams.
Best Girl PornstarsQuiet nightlife, not many tourists around. That would also apply to every other Bangkok tourist …. Sure you can, just be aware that different services are on offer.
Female attention, but nothing more. Thai girls go to clubs such as Route66 and Onyx to meet foreign guys. Foreign guys party there to hook up with Thai girls. It works as long as you in the age range of or simply look reasonably young. The only downsides to Route66 would be the Baht cover fee and the fact that almost every other single male tourists goes there as well which means additional competition.
It more of a tourist-version of Thai nightlife but certainly not the place where Thai people party among themselves. Granted, you can meet cute Thai girls at Khaosan Road because many local girls that go there do so in hope of meeting a foreign guy. Most ID cost 1, Baht! To clarify, Soi means sidestreet and in Thailand the sidestreets are numbered. There are venues with free entrance e.
Club Levels — if you combine those with buying alcohol at 7-Eleven, you can have fun with only a few hundred Baht in your pockets. See Cheap Charlie version below! Friday and Saturday are the busiest days. Yes, there are and they are pretty nice in terms of location. All of them are upscale and located at the top floors of high rise buildings. During the week, your best bet will either be Soi Cowboy or Nana Plaza — on the weekend, you have more choices as Route66 and Onyx are also open.
Should you arrive toward midnight or after , then your only nightlife options will be after hours clubs. Soapy, oil and Nuru massages are of course always an option, I decided to not include them here as they are not part of Bangkok nightlife. Prices vary greatly, but you can expect to pay at least 2, Baht for a happy ending massage.
You never know unless you ask, but based on the venue you are at, you can make certain assumptions. Buy drinks at 7-Eleven. Beer, whatever you like. Make sure you do so before midnight as this is when alcohol sales stop. Now you have 2 options in terms of a night out without having to pay entrance fee.
Khaosan Road is the other option where you can basically party on the street and meet girls while you do so. In that sense, Bangkok Nightlife is safe. You yourself are your biggest enemy. Cheap booze, almost unlimited supply of cute girls, warm climate … ehhh, do I need to continue?
Bangkok or Pattaya — Which places has better nightlife? Bangkok is my 1 recommendation for Thailand first-time visitors. For many, the question might seem odd. Russian girls in Bangkok? Why would anyone go to Bangkok and then look for Russian girls? For the most part, you will have to rely on taxis. Taxing a motorbike taxi is cheaper for short distances, but also more risky in terms of accidents.
Any gogo bar that you visit has a few very attractive girls even the ones at Nana Plaza. Where can I meet some? Most regular nightlife venues outside of Red Light Districts are completely void of ladyboys — other then Club Levels few ladyboys occasionally.
Thanks for your post, and I wonder what exact service Nyan Nyan massage offer, could you kindly help me with this question? Before we start, 2 important things to know: Soi Cowboy Soi Cowboy is great.

I contacted the author of the SnowSong sound pack originally created for Minecraft and she agreed to relicense it as CC BY SA 4.0. It includes sounds for all blocks and nodes as well as ambience music. I uploaded it to opengameart for archival purposes, so I'm sharing it here. I know it's not a texture pack, but since there is no "sound pack" section I figured I would post it in this subforum.
