http://www.myriobiblos.gr/texts/english/prayerbook/main.htmI am under the impression that this is the best translation of the Akathist hymn to the Theotokos, could someone share with me where the music for this text is located?Specifically the music which is the oldest melody, preferably from the constantinopolitan tradition, but any melody older than 500 years is acceptable.http://www.allmercifulsavior.com/Liturgy/Acathistus.htmlI'm going to see if I can match and edit the melody and words to this latin text, which is not identical because it is from a slightly different 9th century text originating in southern italy.
This isn't what you're looking for at the moment, but maybe in future?

Microsoft hit with second Skype patent suit
CopyTele alleges VoIP service encryption systems infringe its IP.
Microsoft has been hit with a second patent infringement lawsuit in the space of a fortnight, once again focusing on its Skype voice over IP (VoIP) offering.
The suit, which has been lodged in the Eastern District of New York district court, comes from professional patent monetisation and patent assertion outfit CopyTele Inc (CTI), although the plaintiff is its wholly owned subsidiary, Secure Web Conference Corporation.
It is questionable whether software patents act as a reward for innovation in or whether they actually inhibit invention
In a statement announcing the suit, CTI's president and CEO Robert Berman, said: "With coverage on web conferencing technology across an industry that generates over $4 billion in annual revenue, these encryption patents are a prime example of the enormous, untapped potential at CTI.
"The new management team was attracted to CTI because of the tremendous value of its patents that were masked by its previous business model. We expect to launch additional assertion programs with significant revenue opportunities as we continue to mine CTI's patents, and acquire additional patent portfolios from third parties."
It is statements such as this that have, according to Forbes, led some to label CTI a patent troll – a company that engages solely in filing patent suits against large companies with no other source of income.
This is largely in line with CTI's own description of activities, as stated on its website.
Berman told Forbes his company invented the technology used by Skype decades ago, adding CTI had been "in the tech development business for 30 years ... [and] only recently moved to patent monetisation as a business model."
This is the second time Microsoft has been hit with a patent infringement suit in as many weeks. On 23 April VirnetX Holding filed a case alleging the Skype software infringed six of its patents.
VirnetX won a $200 million settlement from the Redmond giant in 2010 over patents relating to private networks.
Commenting on the CTI case, Frank Jennings, tech lawyer and partner at DMH Stallard, said: "Patent infringement claims are big business in the US tech sector and there have been many criticisms of so-called patent trolls.
"There is nothing wrong in principle with buying up patents and then seeking to enforce them. After all, the patent was genuinely granted even if the inventor has then sold it. The real difficulty is twofold.
"First, it appears the process of determining whether a software patent should actually be granted is not as robust as it could be, certainly in the USA. Also, it is questionable whether software patents act as a reward for innovation in or whether they actually inhibit invention."
In April, Google hit out at the practice of patent trolling, jointly submitting comments to the US Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice with BlackBerry, EarthLink and Red Hat on what the organisations claim is the growing harm patent assertion entities are doing to business in the US.
A Microsoft representative told IT Pro the company was not commenting on the case at this time.

|Positive Effects
|Long Term Negative Effects
|African economies expanded greatly due to the increase in the demand of African goods on the international markets.
|With the Europeans taking over Africa's natural mineral wealth it caused a scarcity in the mineral wealth of Africa. This deprived the countries of Africa of its natural minerals.
|Sanitation in Africa improved greatly, and the life expectancy rate increased tremendously.
|There was no way Africa was able to develope and compete with the rest of the world due to the rivalry with Europe.
|Due to European colonization, Africa became industrialized.

For centuries, wild pearl oysters and mussels were fished in the quest for natural pearls and shell material. This eventually led to the drastic overexploitation of oyster stocks in many areas of the globe.1 Scientific innovation and entrepreneurship eventually unearthed a solution: Researchers discovered a way for humans to farm pearl oysters and induce the formation of a cultured pearl. A century after this discovery, many pearl farming regions are vulnerable to climate change and coral and coastal habitat destruction. Pearl farming might provide a win-win opportunity for such communities.
Overcoming Biodiversity Loss
At present, marine biodiversity is facing huge threats in the Pacific region as a result of climate change, overfishing, and unregulated coastal development.2 The preservation and conservation of marine resources have become a priority in many areas and regions. Corals and fisheries are the basis for functioning marine ecosystems on which humans rely for food and well-being, and these ecosystems must thus be preserved and rebuilt.3,4 Conservation biologist Joe Roman and colleagues have argued that "in the long run, the most effective forms of conservation will be those that engage local stakeholders; the cultivation of sustainable ecosystems and their services must be promoted along with conservation of endangered species and populations."5 There is ample evidence that for conservation to work it needs to also provide tangible benefits for local communities.6
Clearly, great opportunities lie in combining the conservation of marine biodiversity with viable economic activities for local people in order to preserve highly sensitive ecosystems.7 Given that cultured pearl farming is one of the few economic activities in which sound environmental management and conservation are a prerequisite to economic success, the sector offers some interesting insights with regard to sustainability in the marine realm. In Mexico, pearl oysters of the species Pinctada mazatlanica and Pteria sterna were declared in danger of extinction and put under protection in 1940. This was the first marine conservation measure in Latin America.8 Could pearl farming today promote environmental conservation by providing financial incentives that are frequently lacking in environmental conservation projects?9
An Introduction to Pearl Farming
The production of a cultured pearl is a complex process that requires a thriving marine ecosystem, important knowledge and skill, and several years of patience. In Australia, pearl farmers can collect wild adult oysters under a strict quota system. Otherwise, young oysters can either be collected as spat from the wild during natural spawning seasons, using artificial collectors, or be artificially spawned in hatcheries. Two to three years after the birth of an oyster, it can be seeded, an operation during which a nucleus and mantle tissue are implanted to induce the formation of a cultured pearl. After this, the nucleus is gradually covered with nacre (mother-of-pearl) by the oyster. This period of growth of a cultured pearl takes a further one to two years, depending on a range of factors. From birth of the oyster to the harvest of the pearl usually takes at least three to four years.
Not all oysters will survive, and not all oysters will produce a beautiful pearl. Estimates suggest that 95 percent of a pearl farm's income comes from 2 percent of its pearls.10 The skills of the seeding technician play one important role. Environmental deterioration or sudden ecological changes will also affect the oyster and hamper its potential for producing a high-quality pearl, as pearl oysters are remarkably sensitive organisms. Consequently, financial and ecological sustainability are intimately and inextricably linked.11 The more pristine an environment, the healthier the oysters are and the higher the likelihood of harvesting valuable, high-quality pearls. Ultimately, for a pearl farmer, it pays to maintain a thriving ecosystem.
Using Local Resources and Promoting Natural Capital
Despite procedural challenges, pearl farming can be one of the most profitable forms of aquaculture and may be carried out in isolated islands where there are otherwise very limited economic opportunities.12 Cultured pearls have become important economic pillars in French Polynesia and the Cook Islands as main sources of export revenue. In French Polynesia, pearl farming has reduced pressure on fish stocks, stemmed outer-island emigration, and provided economic alternatives for an economy otherwise heavily reliant on French financial assistance and tourism. At its peak in 2000, the pearl sector provided employment to 7,000 people in French Polynesia.13 In the Cook Islands, black pearl production can be carried out within existing forms of indigenous socioeconomic organization.14 Other small island developing states in the Pacific have attempted to emulate these successes and tried to establish pearl farming operations, but most have failed to sustain the production of commercially viable pearls at a community level.15
A recent and tentative success story is in the Federated States of Micronesia where a community pearl farming project has been envisaged as a model for combining marine conservation and community development, thereby providing economic opportunities using local resources. There, a new integrated marine plan is being implemented in which pearl farming complements lost income that artisanal reef fishing communities have to incur due to the introduction of no-fishing zones and marine protected areas. This new source of income has created an incentive for conservation by reducing pressure on reef fish stocks, and it is increasing the resilience of these communities in the face of climate change. This reflects findings of a recently published United Nations Environment Programme report on the green economy that revealed that "there is a clear link between poverty eradication and better protection and restoration of habitat, marine fishery resources and biodiversity."16,17
Maximizing Revenue: Emphasis on Quality and Innovation
The business of selling cultured pearls has become challenging for many pearl farmers. With the effects of the 2008 global economic crisis, issues of high production and changing demand, fragmentation both at a supply and distribution level, and rising competition from Chinese freshwater cultured pearls, the marine cultured pearl industry finds itself in a difficult business environment.18 In French Polynesia, a number of pearl farmers who worked farms of varying size have gone out of business in recent years. The average price of exported pearls from French Polynesia has been divided by four in the past decade. This price decline can be explained by overproduction, a reduction in the average quality of pearls produced, and a host of other market factors.19 However, research has shown that prices for large, high-quality cultured pearls have not dropped.20 A pearl farm with a focus on quality pearls produced through responsible farming practices still very much has its place in the international market. Demand for cultured pearls should be strengthened by creating further incentives for luxury consumers. Pearls could be marketed as a sustainable alternative in an increasingly ecologically conscious jewelry market.
Nevertheless, the revenue streams of pearl farmers are changing and diversifying beyond the simple sale of pearls.21 Ecotourism that allows for direct purchase of raw pearl, jewelry, and culinary products is one option, although the remoteness of some destinations like Micronesia and Polynesia limit this avenue.
Another option is to explore the additional uses of oysters beyond the pearls they produce. Historically, oyster shells were used in button manufacturing. Today, shells are again in demand for furniture and ornamental purposes. A pearl oyster shell consists of 95 percent calcium carbonate. Ground and purified, it can be used for medicinal purposes in relieving osteoporosis,22 in bone replacement therapy,23,24 as a source of calcium for dietary supplements,25,26 and in beauty products. The properties of the oyster shell's periostracum (the outer, organic-rich layer of the shell) have even been investigated for military and maritime uses.27 Adductor muscle meat of pearl oysters is frequently sold for human consumption and the dried meat of the oyster is being used to enrich soils in certain countries, such as the United Arab Emirates. Clearly, these many different uses provide opportunities for pearl farmers to diversify their sources of revenue and allow them to minimize resource waste.
Pearl oysters have also been investigated for environmental remediation based on their filtering abilities. They are among the filter-feeding marine organisms with the highest clearance rates. A single Pinctada margaritifera oyster in French Polynesia can filter between 11.5 and 25.9 liters per hour per gram of tissue dry weight, thereby serving as an important buffer and regulator of water purity and quality.28 Pearl oysters have been investigated as a tool for heavy metal remediation in coastal ecosystems in Australia, with a study showing that pearl oysters could assist in the removal of pollutants from coastal waters while producing commercially viable cultured pearls.29 Thus the oysters could also provide an ecosystem service that should be accounted for in cost-benefit analyses of different possible development paths. Given that pearls are a saleable good themselves, their price could be calibrated to account for the services they provide. Such an approach provides a means of internalizing a market for ecosystem services through a particular product (thus circumventing the usual "market absence" critique of payment for ecosystem services approaches).
Furthermore, the ocean is the world's largest carbon sink and is an important regulator in global carbon storage, sequestration, and release. It is estimated that "the most crucial, climate-combating coastal ecosystems cover less than 0.5 percent of the sea bed. These areas, covering features such as mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses, are responsible for capturing and storing up to some 70 percent of the carbon permanently stored within the marine domain."30 The ecosystem services provided by pearl farmers are further reaching than the conservation of sensitive corals and fisheries. They could play a growing role in the management of "blue carbon." Pearl farming in the Federated States of Micronesia and the United Arab Emirates is carried out in coastal mangrove ecosystems, which are protected by the pearl farmers because their oysters are dependent on the nutrients provided by the mangroves. Such pearl farms would be ideal candidates to qualify for funding from a future blue-carbon credit-trading scheme.
At present, within pearl farming, the difficult business environment presents an obstacle to promoting sustainability. But consumer demand could increase the sustainability benefits the sector provides to coastal communities and ecosystems. Responsible consumer choice for pearls as a jewelry product rather than other gemstones should be further encouraged. Scientists need to conduct more research into understanding how marine pearl farming's potential in marine conservation and restoration can be extended and to find better ways of cohabiting and engaging with nearby fishing communities.
Ultimately, traders and consumers of pearls could further strengthen the livelihoods of pearl farmers and the positive ecosystem services they provide. Consumers of jewelry should be made aware of the positive synergies that lie in the process of cultivating marine pearls. Indeed, if the farmers who operate in the waters of the Pacific do not prosper, the ecosystem services provided by these waters will cease to exist.
As a model of private entrepreneurship in small island developing states (e.g., Fiji, the Federated States of Micronesia, and French Polynesia), pearl farming has modestly emerged as an economic activity that can offer alternatives in a time of climate change. It can offer many valuable lessons for development opportunities in remote coastal communities. It also provides evidence that marine conservation can be integrated within a viable economic activity leading to sustainable long-term growth in vulnerable Pacific environments.

- In a baking dish, place peppers cut side up this time and fill with meat and cheese mixture. Top with remaining one cup of feta. Bake at 375 degrees for an additional 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
- Garnish with fresh mint or basil.

This was a nice change from what I am used too, I usually stuff my bell peppers with cheese, I used mintfor the garnish, and I cut back on the onion a tad, not much though. Very easy to prepare, and make. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.
I made this for lunch today. DH & DS enjoyed it very much. I did leave out the sun-dried tomato because I didn't have any. Made for Newest Zaar Tag

On the prowl! Danniella Westbrook wears leopard print coat for night out with Hollyoaks co-stars at X Factor Live
She's in the middle of re-launching her soap career, and she's certainly not keeping a low profile.
Former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook made sure that she stood out from the crowd at the X Factor Live tour in Liverpool on Wednesday, wearing a leopard print coat and towering stilettos heels.
Joined by her new Hollyoaks co-stars for their second night out this week, the 39-year-old actress posed for the cameras ahead of her return to TV screens later in the month.
Making an impact: Danniella Westbrook makes sure that she stands out in a leopard-print coat and sky-high stilettos at the X Factor live tour in Liverpool on Wednesday
Clearly out to make an impression, Danniella made sure that she didn't blend into the crowd as she turned up at the gig at the Echo Arena.
The former drug addict covered up in a black and beige knee-length Fern dress from Amy Child's collection and wore her trademark blonde hair up in a retro-style beehive.
Adding a touch of soap-style glamour to the look, the actress added the eye-catching leopard-print coat over the top and pulled it open to show off her outfit for the cameras.
Sultry pose: The soap star tries to show off her sexy side for the cameras as she poses outside the Echo Arena
Image re-vamp: Danniella seems keen to update her image ahead of her return to screens in Hollyoaks
The star went bare-legged for the gig and wore a pair of sky-high burnt orange stilettos, giving herself some added height.
Proving just how well she's integrating with her new Channel 4 co-stars, Danniella chose to spend the night with Bronagh Waugh and Kieron Richardson.
Soap star Bronagh looked a little more dressed down than Danniella, wearing a casual blue jumper and a pair of skintight black leggings, but added neon pink stilettos.
Night out: The star has another night out with the Hollyoaks cast after partying on Monday night
Retro look: The actress wears her blonde hair in a high beehive, opting for a 1960s style
New friends: Danniella poses with Hollyoaks pals Kieron Richardson and Bronagh Waugh
Pucker up: The soap star kisses co-star Kieron as they wait around outside the arena before the concert
Kieron looked far more suitable for a pop concert, wearing a T-shirt and jeans and adding a pair of black trainers, looking relaxed as he posed with his work friends.
Blonde star Danniella clearly had a great night at the concert and posted pictures of herself backstage with Rylan Clark, James Arthur and Christopher Maloney.
'@RylanClark Essex & proud always babe .. Were just missing @MrHarryDerbidge and @MissAmyChilds #Essex,' she wrote.
Party time: The new friends cosy up together outside the venue, before hearing the X Factor stars perform

Giving it his all: The Celebrity Big Brother winner gives the crowd a treat on stage
Despite being an old hand when it comes to soaps, she recently admitted to feeling nervous about her new Hollyoaks scenes, which will be shown on February 18.
'I was more scared on that first day of Hollyoaks than I've ever been on EastEnders or even on Dancing on Ice, she told The Sun. 'I was scared to do something different.'
'There are all these Hollyoaks honeys. I'm so glad I'm nearly 40 and don't have to worry about being a Hollyoaks honey,' she added.

Nations from China to Brazil are considering increasing the International Monetary Fund's lending resources to help stem the European debt crisis, Group of 20 and IMF officials said.
Policy makers are discussing an expansion of the IMF's firepower as part of a global G-20 agreement next month in Cannes, France, according to three officials, who declined to be named because the discussions are not public. Talks are in preliminary stages as potential contributors wait to see what measures Europeans take to end the debt turmoil at an Oct. 23 summit, they said.

Becky wants to knock her school down
If only young Becky went to a decent school: maybe one like the Hershey Montessori Farm School in Ohio; or Athena Montessori College in Wellington. Ah well. At least the pur wee t'ing has a solution.

Lucky she's not in NZ, she'd be done for Sedition.ReplyDelete
I met a whole bunch of the Athena staff on my Workplace First Aid course; a bunch of funny, personable and friendly people.
"Athena Montessori College is a professional school and the students are expected to work a 40 hour week. Normal school hours are from 9:00am to 3:30pm which represents a 33 hour week."
Doesn't sound a soft option to me :-)
It gets me so pissed off when I think about the monotony and stagnation of public schools. And whenever someone thinks of something innovative to do, it has trouble fitting into the bureaucratic system which kills any new ideas in education (doesn't comply, ya know).
Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

By SUSANNE KAPPLER, Fort Jackson LeaderApril 1, 2010
FORT JACKSON, SC -- Members of the Fort Jackson community now have a new way of calling for help in case of an emergency. Cell phone users can now dial 751-9111 to connect directly to the Fort Jackson 911 center.
In the past, the only means for cell phone users on Fort Jackson to call in an emergency was to call 911. Cell phone calls to 911 are answered by the Richland County 911 operator. The callers have to identify their location on Fort Jackson to be routed to the 911 operator on post, who then dispatches the responders.
Typically, the time it takes to transfer calls is less than one minute, said Bill Forrester, Fort Jackson fire chief. However, Forrester said the Directorate of Emergency Services wanted to provide cell phone users a way to connect to the correct emergency center without any delays.
Callers who dial 911 from any landline phone on Fort Jackson are automatically routed to the correct operator.
"(The new) number does not replace what's already in existence. It's just an additional avenue you have now," Forrester said. "Really, we were targeting the cell phone user audience. Still any hard-wire phone on Fort Jackson -- you dial 911, you're going to get a Fort Jackson 911 operator."
Forrester said that callers can still call 911 from their cell phones, but have to remember to immediately tell the operator that they are on Fort Jackson to avoid unnecessary delays. He said he encourages members of the Fort Jackson community to program the new number, including the area code, into their cell phones.
Fort Jackson residents who use Internet phone services should ensure that 911 calls are routed to the correct location, Forrester said.
"It's essential that if you have an Internet phone service ... you need to contact your provider and register your 911 number with the local 911 center, which is Fort Jackson," he said.
Members of the community should not be afraid to call 911 or 751-9111, Forrester said.
"Never, ever, ever hesitate to call 911," he said. "We hear all the time, 'We didn't want to bother you. We're not really sure if it's an emergency.' Let us make that determination; 911 is there to help you. If you even contemplate that it may be an emergency, call 911."
Callers who do make the call should never hang up until they are told to hang up, he added. Forrester also emphasized that it is important to have as much information as possible when calling 911.
"Always be prepared to give the operators all the information they ask for. At a minimum, you need to provide an address," he said. "If (the callers) don't know an address, then we don't know how to get to them. And that is particularly important to the military units. A lot of times (callers) don't know what building number they're in. They know they're in unit 2-13, for example. We can get the address from that information; it's just going to take us a little bit longer."
Callers who don't call from a building should give the operator information that makes it easy to be located, such as street names, range number, fire break identifier or GPS coordinates.
Finally, callers should always leave a phone number, Forrester said.
"The operators will obtain pertinent information to start a response," he said. "Then they're going to dispatch to the corresponding fire, police or Emergency Medical Services units. Then they're getting back with the caller to get some more detailed information to provide to the responders."

This was asked in an IBM ISL interview.
I went through the question, How to find the middle node of the single linked list in single traversal (if length of list is not given) but it does not contain the answer I am looking for so posting here again.
I have a single linked list, let us say number of nodes are odd. Tell me 2 ways of finding middle node by traversing list only once?
I answered, take 2 pointers p1 & p2 move p2 by 2 nodes and p1 by 1 node. When p2 is null, p1 is at middle node.
Interviewer responded: That's the simplest way using 2 pointers. Tell me one more way. Hint: is there a compiler property that can be used?
Can someone give me a way using the hint?

Funny how they at one time would have been considered "evil commies" and "godless aggressors" by the same people (what, 20 years ago?!)....Once again this proves that many religions will easily change their tune if you play what they want to hear.
*shakes head*
Like Ive said, Pentecostal Christians are taking over Latin America, Africa, and eastern Europe. They have made it their priority to bring their brand of fundamentalism to other regions of the world.
Having grown up SacTown (in a pentacostal school), I can attest to this.
A lot of the Russian/Eastern Eurpoeans are racist assholes too.
Judging from the Russians I've met, it seems really hard to imagine them in a Pentecostal church or really any Protestant church. Those churches are so animated and in many ways, optimistic, and all the Russians I meet are so dour, subdued, and pessimistic. I almost expect that a Protestant missionary would try to proselytize and they'd frown and say, "I don't know why I should bother. Even if I accept Jesus Christ and my personal lord and savior," I'll probably still go to hell."
But, Gitai, that's the core of old-school Calvinist belief.
According to the article, most are not Russians, but Ukranian, Georgians and Belorussians. Makes sense since Pentecostals go for the poorest, and most uneducated countries and Pentecostals have some history in the Ukrane. I think the Slog post got it wrong. It should read former Soviet Republic immigrants, most Russians here are atheists and Jews.
Seme --
You're right. Most of the immigrants in question are from former Soviet republics like the Ukraine, so they're not "Russian" in the current post-Soviet-Union political sense.
But the LA Times still refers to them as "Russian" in parts of its story, and a lot of Americans do the same when speaking colloquially. I know this sometimes offends immigrants from the former Soviet Republics, but on the other hand "former Soviet Republic immigrants" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue and, more importantly, it can be confusing to readers.
It's a hard problem to write around. But I'll see if I can fix it in the post.
Ok, fixed it, I think. Thanks, Seme.
but it does seem that the fundies are doing a lot of missionary work in all of the former Soviet states...Russia included.
Just as pure personal experience, between 2002 and 2005 I was traveling to Russia about once every two months and I'll be damned if I can recall a single trip where I did not meet some fundy Xtians who were there either to do missionary work or pick up their adopted baby (arranged for by their sister church).
Seme, Russian is a useful catch all because for these immigrants, their two common languages are English and Russian. This isn't really a new thing. In Israel, where they absorbed 200,000 "Russians" in less than a decade. Yes, many of them are not from Russia proper, but newspapers for their communities are always printed in Russian, as are public notices and subtitles (actually, public notices are printed in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, and English). It's a common, unifying factor, akin to the Francophonie.
This is surprising. Russians are well-known for their open minds, enlightened attitudes, and general empathy towards their fellow man.
Most Ukranians loathe Russians, almost as much as Estonians and the residents of the other Baltic republics. Its no big deal, but I just think the distinction helps because as the article points out, Russian comunities in other parts of the country are very different than the Sacramento Russian speaking communities. I think Eli's correction works since I think the language is the unifyer, but he is right in that its hard to get a grasp on the proper term, without sounding too PC. I wished the LA times article had done the same.
Most of the Russians I have met here are atheists; whereas the south king County Ukranians tend to be more of the fundie kind..
And Gnossos is right, the pentecostals are stepping it up all over the world. Specially in Latin America and Africa. Everytime I go back to Nicaragua for a visit, the plane is full of snake handling pentecostal missionaries from the US south.
stupid russians. I have a whole group of them living in an apartment complex 2 blocks away. these bastards are so poor that I think that the entire nation of russia has moved to this apartment complex. seriously, there are like 30 people living in each apartment. Fuck you you russian assholes. I, a gay man, live in a a 3 story house just for me while you live in a quarter of the space that I have and in this timy space you live with 20 other people. FUCK YOU
I made a song!!!
Russians are so smellyyyyyy.....they smell like vodka and farts
Their women are so fat and do not shave their body parts
How can a russian man hate gays when his wife looks like a man?
I don't really know...I guess because he can.
i am dam proud russian and anti-gay, i believe in the truth bible and yes russians are dam anti-gay, so to the guy who lives in his gay three story house what you happy about that you getting fucked in your asshole how can you find dam happiness in that, ohhh dam if even went to my mother land for one day and people found out that you a gay fruit you prabably would not come back alive to u.s.
and to tell u the truth you dont even know how most russians do better finacially then born citizens in u.s.
we be riding in bmws and mercedes while you gay americans be riding in
pontiac american garbage.
you gay asshole dont know much thats just that one apartment,
i bet you that the ratio of sucess between gay american compared to russians is really low, let say maybe for every 1

Degas in Process: Why Monotype?
For the past five weeks, we have organized a series of weekly monotype printmaking workshops, Degas in Process: Make a Monotype, in conjunction with the exhibition Edgar Degas: A Strange New Beauty, on view on MoMA's sixth floor through July 24. Taking Degas's innovative use of the monotype as a starting point, these workshops are led by teaching artists—Justin Sanz, Sophy Naess, Neil Berger, Kerry Downey, and Bruce Waldman—each of whom brings a unique creative approach to their session and offers a glimpse into the sustained relevance of the monotype technique in contemporary artistic practice.

See & Do
Give yourself more time
Just nine miles by five, Jersey's size makes it easy to fit plenty into a weekend. With heritage discoveries on your doorstep and miles of beaches and bays to explore, how will you spend your island time? From beach walks and coastal driving routes to memorable food experiences overlooking the sea, relaxing weekends in the fresh salt air and boat trips with stunning views, live Jersey's island life to the full.
Where would you like to be?
Select an area
Head north for a range of family activities that take you face to face with some pretty wild life, from rare and endangered animals at Durrell, home of Gerald Durrell to walking with dinosaurs at Tamba Park.
Exploring Jersey's east coast brings the island's unique history to life, from the medieval fortress of Mont Orgueil castle with its torture chambers to the fishing ports and harbours of Gorey, St Catherine's breakwater and Rozel.
Choose from town-based museums and historical locations like 16 New Street to visit, or head out to the promenades and sweeping sands of St Aubin's Bay for land and sea activities from cycles and funbikes to jet ski hire, wakeboarding and banana boat rides.
The stunning natural landscape of Jersey's west coast is the backdrop to adrenalin-raising adventure activities from the zip wires of Creepy Valley to toboggan rides at the aMaizin! Adventure Park and wave riding at the surf spots of St Ouen.
CulturalBe inspired by Jersey's history
Look closely and the whole history of Jersey is written into its landscape. How will you discover it? Find ancient standing stones - traces of Jersey's neolithic past - within sight of the sea, and trace the footsteps of invading armies through a 12th century castle to reach battlements overlooking the sea. Spot Jersey's Martello Towers, built to keep the French at bay, and step back in time to the island's occupation at Jersey War Tunnels. Add the finishing touches with a vintage bus tour around the island's coastline.
FoodieTaste Jersey's fresh island produce
Everything's closer in Jersey - including our local food. This is an island where Jersey Royals can go from field to fork in hardly more than a day, where the tide brings an abundance of fresh shellfish, crabs and lobsters close to the island's shores, and where you can forage for wild sea herbs along the coast. Take time to savour the authentic taste of Jersey everywhere from farm shops and field-side stalls to Michelin-starred feasts at top-rated restaurants.
RelaxingFind space to escape, unwind and relax
Jersey's a small island but you'll find plenty of space to breathe here, from walking along calm beaches in the fresh sea air to invigorating cliff path walks on paths lined with sweet-smelling gorse and wild flowers and exploring the peaceful gardens at Samares Manor or the Eric Young Orchid Foundation. Or perhaps you'd prefer to switch off at a luxury spa - Jersey has several top-rated spas, including the Ayurvedic Ayush retreat at the Hotel de France. Choose a spa with a sea view for the ultimate relaxation therapy.
AtmosphericExperience the real Jersey
Dive into a few of Jersey's signature experiences during your stay and create some unique memories. As an island, we just seem to have more sky than other destinations, so make the most of it by soaking up the starry nights - the clear North coast is the best for near dark sky star watching - or timing your first taste of Jersey's local brew - Liberation Ale with a perfect sunset at St Ouen. Or why not take a fast RIB trip out to forgotten islands and reefs where you can walk for miles, spot dolphins and seals before heading back to circle Jersey's coastline.
Plan your island time
From local farmer's markets to vibrant music festivals, low water walks to guided cycle tours, outdoor film screenings to sporting challenges, there's so much going on in Jersey. Why not plan your visit around one of the island's vibrant annual events or festivals? Find out what's happening while you're here.

Asmussen Says EFSF Is Ample, Banks Healthy, CNBC Says
Germany sees no need to increase the European Financial Stability Facility from the current 440 billion euros ($635 billion), Deputy Finance Minister Joerg Asmussen said in an interview with CNBC television.
The package, combined with the International Monetary Fund's contribution, is sufficient to limit debt contagion in the euro area, CNBC cited Asmussen as saying.
The EFSF "as a tool has enough to limit contagion and this is a real step forward," Asmussen said. "When we come to the size, we are building up an effective lending capacity of 440 billion euros. On top of this you have IMF money available. So I think the size of the EFSF is enough."
Asmussen also sees no immediate need to recapitalize Europe's banks as capital ratios increase, according to the report. "One needs to be prepared and this is why we have the new tool at the EFSF if something happens in the future," he is cited as saying.
The Deputy Finance Minister expressed confidence that European leaders will find a solution for Finland, which is seeking collateral for a second Greek bailout, CNBC said.
"This is a very thin line," Asmussen said. "We have some time to go because the secondary program will not reach us, let's say, before October but I'm confident that we will find a solution."
He repeated Germany's rejection of joint euro bonds, according to the report.

Recent changes to 195: BibTeX Export Formatting Improvementhttps://sourceforge.net/p/jabref/patches/195/2013-01-13T21:26:51Z#195 BibTeX Export Formatting Improvement2013-01-13T21:26:51Z2013-01-13T21:26:51ZMorten Omholt Alverhttps://sourceforge.net/u/mortenalver/https://sourceforge.neteac323be2921bce7f62053a945da118dc294040b

1-3: Great!

4: Ok, I got the impression that the patch would overrule the sort order selection to sort according to title. Adding it as an option is a good idea.

5: Ok, so the camel-casing is hardcoded for the standard entry types. Applying it at the writing only should be safe. As you say, the type and entry type names are lower-cased internally.

#195 BibTeX Export Formatting Improvement2013-01-12T16:05:20Z2013-01-12T16:05:20ZJan Kubovyhttps://sourceforge.net/u/kubovy/https://sourceforge.net2bcc7bfc8f03daadaa912d1a9138f0f416b9b48c

Ad1: Sorry I was wrong again: It does it honor BibTeX restrictions on string order. This is ok too.

#195 BibTeX Export Formatting Improvement2013-01-12T15:55:21Z2013-01-12T15:55:21ZJan Kubovyhttps://sourceforge.net/u/kubovy/https://sourceforge.net5f92c253b9333f3572d08eecbf797d62cfbdff87

Ad1: It doesn't honor BibTeX restrictions on string order. This has to be done.

Ad2: The worst thing what can happen is that a @String will be identified as OTHER and not AUTHOR, INSTITUTION or PUBLISHER. Which will not cause any real problem since the BibtexString.Type is used only for grouping @strings while writing them into a file. Example:

@String { aDoe = "Doe, John" } will be internally identified as author.
 @String { adoe = "Doe, John 2" } will be internally identified as other.

for Bibtex are both the same so in the mentioned example if "aDoe" or "adoe" is used somewhere the value "Doe, John 2" will be applied.

Ad3: Writing files yes. I am assuming that reading should work too since BibTeX supports both ways.

Ad4: You mean the "Save/Export in current table sort order"? I was thinking that sorting by title may be important enough to get its own option :-) But this is not included in this patch. I wrote it to the description by mistake. See ticket #196.

Ad5: I believe that there are no problems with that. This is applied only when writing a file not before nor are those values changed internally. BibTeX is case-insensitive so JabRef is obviously converting everything to lowercase (or uppercase) and this behavior was not changed.

#195 BibTeX Export Formatting Improvement2013-01-12T14:18:58Z2013-01-12T14:18:58ZMorten Omholt Alverhttps://sourceforge.net/u/mortenalver/https://sourceforge.netede7131a2cc3cd070d881e4d7da30aa215a0e41c

This patch makes a lot of changes at the core level (the BibTeX format), so we need to make sure it doesn't cause regressions:
 1. It affects the ordering of strings in the BibTeX file. Does it honor BibTeX restrictions on string order? Strings referring other strings must come after those referred.
 2. Case sensitive handling of string names. I don't remember, but there may be some places in JabRef where names are expected to be lower case only.
 3. The ability to choose between '"' and '{', '}' as value delimiters makes me worried. Does this play well with all the internal handling when reading or writing files?
 4. "Entries are sorted by title.". We already have options for controlling the sorting of entries, so doesn't this stomp all over the existing options?
 5. "The entry types and the field names are camel-case." In what way is this camel-casing applied or used? JabRef doesn't support case sensitive field names, and there are many places you could get in trouble if you try to change this.

BibTeX Export Formatting Improvement2013-01-11T08:45:14Z2013-01-11T08:45:14ZJan Kubovyhttps://sourceforge.net/u/kubovy/https://sourceforge.netc83a58a1a22c3a8f84f121db58d29d692d6a13a6

The proposed patch updates formatting of BitTeX to improve readability. The motivation was to be able to use this tool and not to mess up our GIT repository where we keep our BibTeX files.

1. Strings

There are four types of strings: author, institution, publisher and other. The type of a string is identified by the first character of its key:
 - a: author
 - i: institution
 - p: publisher
 - everything else: other

For the first three types the second character should be uppercase. Since BibTeX ignores case, this is only to improve readability of the BibTeX file.

The fields author and editor of an BibTeX entry are both using the author string type.

2. Entries

2.1 Keys

A new key generating type "authEtAl" added which is the same as "auth.etal" with the difference that the authors are not separated by "." and in case of more than 2 authors "EtAl" instead of ".etal" is appended.

2.1.1 Institutions

An author or editor may be and institution not a person. In that case the key generator build very long keys, e.g.: for "The Attributed Graph Grammar System (AGG)" -> "TheAttributedGraphGrammarSystemAGG".

An institution name should be inside {} brackets. If the institution name also includes its abbreviation this abbreviation should be also in {} brackets. For the previous example the value should look like: "{The Attributed Graph Grammar System ({AGG})}".

If an institution includes its abbreviation, i.e. "...({XYZ})", first such abbreviation should be used as the key value part of such author.

If an institution does not include its abbreviation the key should be generated form its name in the following way:

The institution value can contain: institution name, part of the institution, address, etc. Those information should be separated by comma. Name of the institution and possible part of the institution should be on the beginning, while address and secondary information should be on the end.

Each part is examined separately:

We remove all tokens of a part which are one of the defined ignore words (the, press), which end with a dot (ltd., co., ...) and which first character is lowercase (of, on, di, ...).

We detect a type of the part: university, technology institute, department, school, rest

University: "Uni[NameOfTheUniversity]"

Department: will be an abbreviation of all words beginning with the uppercase letter except of words: /d[ei]part.*/, school, faculty

School: same as department

Rest: If there are less than 3 tokens in such part than the result will be by concatenating those tokens, otherwise the result will be build from the first letters of words starting with and uppercase letter.

Parts are concatenated together in the following way:

If there is a university part use it otherwise use the rest part.

If there is a school part append it.

If there is a department part and it is not same as school part append it.

Rest part is only the first part which do not match any other type. All other parts (address, ...) are ignored.

2.2 Fields

There are three types of fields an entry can have based on the entry type:

required

optional

unofficial

In the BibTeX those key groups are separated by an empty line.

To improve readability of the output BibTeX file the first field in an entry is always the title. Followed by the required group ordered by the field name. Followed by the optional group ordered by the field name. Followed by the unofficial group ordered by the field name if such unofficial group exists.

2.3 Values

The option to choose between '"' and '{', '}' as value delimiters added to Preferences -> Advanced -> Export Options.

The option to include a complete list of required and optional entry fields, even if those are not filled out, was added to Preferences -> Advanced -> Export Options.

3. Other

In the exported BibTeX file the Strings are grouped by type and ordered by key in each group. Each group is separated by an empty line. The equal signs are aligned according to the longest string key.

Entries are sorted by title. Fields in each entry are also aligned of the file. The entry types and the field names are camel-case.

I need advice. I was recently shopping around for engagement rings, and went into a Zales. I was asked by a clerk there if they could run my credit to see what I was eligable for.

I do not want this to hurt my credit score, and it is very important that I can have credit available soon. It is just infuriating! Thanks for any help.
Wow that sucks. I don't know the answer to your question but it does look like it was already answered. I do want to say, however, that most retail people work on commission and/or get some sort of incentive if they can get people to app for store cards.
In any sales environment, the chance for less than honest sales ppl rises. If no means no, then just say no.
Yeah, and it's backfired because not only will I not be shopping at Zales, I definitely would never buy it from that woman. It can be hard out there for people (like me and a lot of young adults) to navigate their credit when you don't know much about it, plus you have people everywhere trying to use your lack of experience to con you out of your credit score just so they can make a commission. Is it so much to ask that people just be kind?!

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is an organisation dedicated to fighting for the preservation of traditional British beer and traditional British pubs. Once described as 'the most successful consumer pressure group in Western Europe', the Campaign was formed by 4 journalists in 1971 who were horrified at the declining quality of British beer.
By the end of 2015, the total membership of CAMRA topped 175,000 members. These members are located throughout the United Kingdom organised into more than 180 branches similar to West Berkshire CAMRA.
