|You can't stop thinking of her: this is how you explained it, a proof of your being in love.
|The way that light attaches to a girl
|When she woke up, her hands were still dreaming
|Buying your first mountain
|A journey ended begins again
|She wears her failed relationships like a shield
|How I invented Anna and made her a character in all my stories
|when I touch her I hope it's you that smiles
|Takeoffs are optional, landings are mandatory
|She asked me to copy my poem into her notebook
|Including her knees and a dragon made from a sock
|The End
|Blade Runner
|Military economics: an equivocal song
|Paperback: used. Condition: tear-stained.
|Five modes of minor pentatonic for guitar
|Guided at night by factory lights
|I am the child with her nose pressed up against the window.

Great thank you gift. I especially love the mustard bee fabric. For some reason I have fallen in love with that 50's colour mustard lately and I am sure to embarrass my son with it as he grows up. I think that is part of my job? Anyway, love it all and aren't you super generous to begin with! :)

No. 27, Part I, 07 February 1996
We welcome you to Part I of the Open Media Research Institute's Daily Digest. This part focuses on Russia, Transcaucasia and Central Asia. Part II, distributed simultaneously as a second document, covers Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe. Back issues of the Daily Digest, and other information about OMRI, are available through our WWW pages: http://www.omri.cz/Index.html ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^TODAY'S TOP STORY^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ DUDAEV THREATENS WESTERN EUROPE. Speaking at a press conference in the Chechen village of Roshni-Chu during the night of 56 February, President Dzhokhar Dudaev asserted that he no longers plans to wage war against Russia, but intends to attack Western Europe, which he accused of provoking the war, Radio Rossii reported. Dudaev further accused the OSCE mission in Chechnya of inciting hostilities and claimed that the U.S. government had given Moscow $6.5 billion to help finance the war--a claim that the U.S. Embassy in Moscow swiftly denied. In Grozny, thousands of Dudaev supporters demonstrated for the third consecutive day to demand the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya. NTV reported on 6 February that Dudaev's chief of staff, Aslan Maskhadov, has issued orders to his field commanders not to hold any further talks with the pro-Moscow government of Doku Zavgaev. -- Liz Fuller ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ RUSSIA COMMUNISTS PROMISE NEW CONSTITUTION IF THEY WIN PRESIDENCY. A new constitution is atop the agenda if a communist candidate wins the presidential elections, State Duma Chairman Gennadii Seleznev told Rossiiskaya gazeta on 6 February. Seleznev suggested that the proposed new constitution would eliminate the presidency and restore the supremacy of parliament. -- Penny Morvant CHERNOMYRDIN BREAKS VACATION. A government spokesman said on 6 February that Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, on vacation in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, would return to Moscow on 7 February for two days of meetings, Russian media reported. Chernomyrdin will attend a meeting of the Security Council and meet a Danish government delegation. Chernomyrdin's departure on vacation at the weekend prompted speculation in the press that he was about to be sacked, but he has denied the rumors. -- Penny Morvant CONSTITUTIONAL COURT STARTS HEARINGS ON DEPUTIES' IMMUNITY. The Constitutional Court began hearings 6 February on President Boris Yeltsin's request to test the law on Duma deputies' immunity status, Russian media reported. The constitution says members of the parliament cannot be arrested, or subjected to investigation except when detained at the scene of a crime; they also cannot be subjected to body searches. Yeltsin objected to the widening of the immunity limits, which, according to the law, covers a deputy's housing, luggage, transport, correspondence and documents, and excuses a deputy from testifying in court. The Duma representative to the court, Sergei Baburin, defended the existing norms of parliamentary immunity as necessary to preserve "the deputy's freedom of political action," and protection from possible political manipulation of the legal system. The court is expected to announce its verdict this month. -- Anna Paretskaya FEDERATION COUNCIL REJECTS LAW ON SUBSISTENCE MINIMUM. The Federation Council rejected the draft law on the subsistence minimum on 6 February, Russian media reported. Under the law, which Yeltsin has rejected on two occasions, benefits would be paid to people whose income is below the subsistence minimum. Last year, an average of 37 million Russians lived below the poverty line, which was set in December at 327,000 rubles ($69) a month. The upper house acknowledged that the law is essential but was concerned that it would require 30 to 60 trillion rubles not provided for in the 1996 budget. St. Petersburg Mayor Anatolii Sobchak said that if the law was passed in its current form it would share the fate of the law on veterans, which has never been implemented because of financial constraints. -- Penny Morvant LAWS STALL IN FEDERATION COUNCIL. At its meeting on 7 February the Federation Council also failed to overcome President Boris Yeltsin's veto on four other laws which had previously passed both parliamentary chambers. The laws pertained to financial support for the northern regions, the regulation of public meetings, the governmental structure of regional subjects, and the securities market. The law regulating the securities market, which is urgently needed, has been en route through the legislature since 1994. -- Peter Rutland REMAINING PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL MEMBERS ENDORSE YELTSIN. Several members of the advisory Presidential Council, including Andranik Migranyan, Sergei Karaganov, and Emil Pain, expressed their continued support for President Boris Yeltsin in an open letter published in Izvestiya on 7 February. The letter was written in response to the recent resignations of several members of the council, including human rights advocate Sergei Kovalev and Izvestiya commentator Otto Latsis. The authors argued that Yeltsin remains the "main bulwark of democracy in Russia." They contended that in the face of "a rising threat of Bolshevik restoration," supporting Yeltsin was the "only reasonable course of political action." The authors did, however, express strong disagreement with Yeltsin's Chechnya policy, and urged the president to take immediate steps to reach a peaceful settlement of the conflict there. -- Scott Parrish FOREIGN MINISTRY SLAMS AMBASSADOR TO VATICAN. Foreign Ministry spokesman Grigorii Karasin harshly criticized the Ambassador to the Vatican, Vyacheslav Kostikov, on 6 February for his comments in a 4 February interview with NTV, Russian and Western agencies reported. Kostikov, who served as President Yeltsin's press secretary until December 1994, gave the interview in connection with the upcoming release of his memoirs, excerpts from which have already been published in Argumenty i fakty. In the interview, Kostikov painted a negative portrait of Yeltsin as power- hungry and lacking a "democratic ideology of his own," adding that Yeltsin's inner circle of advisors conducted a "constant, exhausting struggle" for influence over the president. Karasin said that Kostikov's comments were "a violation of moral and professional rules and norms" since it is "unacceptable for an ambassador to make negative comments about the leadership of his own country." -- Scott Parrish ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST ARRESTED FOR SPYING. Aleksandr Nikitin, a Russian employee of the Norwegian-based environmental group Bellona, was arrested by the Federal Security Service in St. Petersburg on charges of espionage, ITAR-TASS reported on 7 February. In a press release from Oslo, Bellona described the arrest of Nikitin, a nuclear expert who used to serve in the Northern Fleet, as a "serious blow against democracy and environmental efforts in Russia," according to Western agency reports. Bellona, which was founded in 1986, specializes in charting radioactive contamination of the Kola peninsula. The organization has been subject of a criminal investigation since the release of a report in October on the appalling state of a nuclear waste dump used by the Northern Fleet that the Russian authorities claim revealed state secrets. -- Penny Morvant IRAN BEGINS PAYING FOR BUSHEHR REACTOR. Grigorii Kaurov, a spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Nuclear Energy, told journalists on 7 February that Iran had begun making payments for the completion of the controversial Bushehr nuclear power station, Russian and Western agencies reported. Kaurov said that under the terms of the estimated $800 million Russo-Iranian contract that went into effect on 12 January, the first VVER-1000 reactor bloc on the site will be completed by 2000. Russian technicians continue to prepare the site for full-scale construction, which Kaurov predicted would begin no sooner than May. The possible construction of three other reactors at the site has been discussed with Iran, he said, but has not yet been finalized. Kaurov also noted that Iranian specialists for the plant will be trained at Novovoronezh power station. -- Scott Parrish BALTIN GLAD TO BE RELIEVED OF COMMAND. Admiral Eduard Baltin, the former commander of the Black Sea Fleet, told Russian media on 5 February that he was "deeply grateful to the Russian president for relieving me of the burden that rested on my shoulders." Baltin said that the could not hand over part of the fleet to Ukraine, as he had been ordered to, because it represented "not only history but also a part of Russia." He said that he therefore had been dismissed because of "pangs of conscience." Baltin turned over command of the fleet to his deputy, Vice Admiral Gennadii Suchkov, on 5 February. -- Doug Clarke RUSSIA AND CHINA COMPLETE SU-27 DEAL. Russia and China have concluded a secret agreement which allows completion of the delayed sale of 72 SU-27 fighters to China, The New York Times reported on 7 February. One-third of the planes had been delivered under a 1992 deal, but further deliveries stalled because of Russian complaints about the barter goods China was using to cover two-thirds of the estimated $1 billion purchase price. The new agreement settled the payment terms, clearing the way not only for delivery of the remaining planes, but also for a contract allowing China to produce the SU-27 under license, (see OMRI Daily Digest 5 February 1996). -- Scott Parrish CONTROVERSY OVER NORILSK NICKEL INTENSIFIES. The Duma set up a commission on 2 February to investigate the privatization of Norilsk Nickel, and on 5 February Procurator General Yurii Skuratov announced that he was opening an investigation, ITAR-TASS reported the same day. In November Oneksimbank won control of the state's 38% stake in the firm in return for a $170 million loan, in an auction which the bank itself organized. Norilsk Director Anatolii Filatov has refused to allow the bank to appoint any new directors, and successfully went to court to block a bank request to call an emergency shareholders' meeting on 2 February. Norilsk Nickel has annual sales of $1.2 billion, and produces 90% of Russia's nickel and cobalt, 75% of its copper, and all its platinum. Due to chronic wage arrears the firm's trade unions are supporting Oneksimbank in its effort to take over the firm. Krasnoyarsk Krai governor Valerii Zubov, who sits on the Norilsk board of directors, is taking a neutral position in the dispute, according to Russian Television on 23 January. -- Peter Rutland POSSIBLE REVISIONS TO SHARES-FOR-LOANS SCHEME. In the wake of criticism of the results of the 1995 loans-for-shares auctions, the government is considering repaying the loans and repossessing some of the shares, Russian media reported on 3 February, although it is not clear where the money for such an operation would come from. If the loans-for-shares auctions are restarted, the rules will probably be altered. Likely changes include barring the State Property Committee's agent banks from participating, and allowing bidders to pay part of the required deposit with treasury bills. -- Natalia Gurushina DEFENSE CONVERSION HOPES IN SVERDLOVSK . . . Overall production at defense plants in Russia has fallen by 44% over the past two years, radio Ekho Moskvy reported on 6 February. Conversion programs have been hindered by a shortage of investment for retooling. However, the special agreement signed by Sverdlovsk Oblast with the federal government (see OMRI Daily Digest 12 January 1996) allows the oblast to divert federal tax revenues directly into conversion projects at local defense plants. Thus the Mias rocket design center in Sverdlovsk Oblast is building a line for the production of city trams, formerly imported from Czechoslovakia, Russian Television reported on 6 February. -- Peter Rutland . . . BUT ST. PETERSBURG ROCKET PLANT IN TROUBLE. Like many defense plants, St. Petersburg's Severnyi Zavod is on the brink of financial collapse, NTV reported on 5 February. The plant produces Patriot-style surface to air missiles, but has been reduced to making toboggans and other consumer goods. The last purchase order from the Russian government was for 62 rockets, in 1994. They managed to sell 120 S300 missiles to China last year, but had to accept payment in barter goods (such as lighters, thermoses, and china dogs) which they gave out as wages. Two local banks that accepted Severnyi promissory notes, Kredit Petersburg and Metal Invest, have gone bankrupt. -- Peter Rutland TRANSCAUCASIA AND CENTRAL ASIA NIYAZOV VISITS TURKEY. The Turkish papers Cumhuriyet and Zaman reported on 6 February that Turkmen President Saparmurad Niyazov is in Turkey for discussion of the gas pipeline project running through Iran and Turkey to Europe. Confusingly, some international agencies were still reporting that Niyazov will not visit Turkey until next week. Rumors are circulating in Ashgabat that Niyazov's health is poor and that he may be going to Turkey for medical treatment. -- Lowell Bezanis UN GROUP ARRIVES IN UZBEKISTAN. A delegation to evaluate Uzbekistan's human rights record arrived in Tashkent on 5 February, Uzbek television reported, as noted by the BBC. Under the auspices of the UN Development Program, the group will meet with various government officials, NGO's, and political party leaders. They are also scheduled to meet with several opposition figures whose parties are currently not registered with the government. -- Roger Kangas FBI TO TRAIN KAZAKHSTANI OFFICIALS TO FIGHT CRIME. Following a meeting between Kazakhstani President Nursultan Nazarbayev and FBI Director Louis Freeh at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the FBI promised to help Kazakhstan train its law enforcement agents to fight crime, Western media reported on 6 February. This meeting was a follow-up to an agreement reached between the two countries in March to cooperate to combat nuclear weapons smuggling, drug trafficking, and other organized and financial crimes. -- Bhavna Dave [As of 1200 CET] Compiled by Pete Baumgartner The OMRI Daily Digest offers the latest news from the former Soviet Union and Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.

LONDON (Reuters) - Iran's foreign minister said he had a constructive meeting with EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini on Tuesday, and he was optimistic Iran's interests in the nuclear deal could still be preserved despite the U.S. withdrawal from the pact.
"It was a nice and constructive meeting," Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency. "We are on the right track to make sure the interests of the remaining signatories of the JCPOA (the nuclear deal), especially Iran, are guaranteed."

Billy Graham was a son of the segregated South. He grew up, as did I, with signs declaring "Whites Only" and "No Colored Served Here." Division by race was the abnormal accepted thing. It was understood that black people who showed up at "white" churches would be met at the door and redirected to a church for "their kind."
Billy Graham became a national figure in 1949 with the Los Angeles crusade. Invitations to conduct city-wide crusades poured in, including invitations in Southern cities. During the first Southern city-wide crusades, whites and blacks were seated in different sections, as was the custom. But the Holy Spirit began to trouble Billy's heart.
The defining moment came in 1953, before the Montgomery Bus Boycott and Martin Luther King, before lunch counter sit-ins, before Civil Rights marches. It happened in Chattanooga, a southern city with deep racial division (what southern city didn't have deep racial divisions?).
The stadium where the crusade was to held had been divided into white and black sections, as was the custom. Ropes marked the division.
When Billy Graham came to the stadium prior to the first night of the crusade, he saw the ropes. This time, he said, "No." With holy passion he mounted the steps of the stadium and began to pull down the ropes and the signs. Local Crusade organizers tried to stop him. He bluntly told them, "Leave the ropes down or you can have the crusade without me." The ropes stayed down. The gospel was preached. Whites and blacks came forward together to receive Christ. Because one man said, "No."
It is hard now, in 2018, to realize how courageous this act was. Just three years after Chattanooga, Billy Graham's pastor, W. A. Criswell, would proclaim to the South Carolina Legislature that "anyone who believes in integration is dead from the neck up." Graham quickly made a statement to the press, saying, "My pastor and I have never seen eye-to-eye on the race question." What Graham did not say was that a great number of his financial backers expected Graham to support segregation or at least stay silent on race. But Graham would not budge. Every crusade would integrated – period. For more than twenty years, Billy Graham refused to hold a crusade in South Africa, until segregation laws were repealed.
True, Billy Graham did not march with Martin Luther King, Jr. By his own admission, he became too involved in politics during the Nixon Administration. He was not perfect, nor did he claim to be.
But for millions of Americans who had been touched by his ministry, a new thought formed: "If Billy Graham says 'no' to segregation, maybe I should say 'no' too."
I remember as a child seeing televised crusades. The camera would pan over the choir and I would see black people singing next to white people. I had never seen that growing up in rural Florida. Even in my child's mind, something said, "This must good, if it's happening at a Billy Graham crusade."
Billy Graham has always been my hero. He preached the gospel. Millions came to know Jesus. He used modern media to share Jesus. He made it okay to have music that sounded contemporary in Christian gathering. He spoke as the prophet America needed to hear, once saying to a white audience, "We have been proud and thought we were better than any other race, any other people. Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to stumble into hell because of our pride." He was the nation's pastor, a calming voice of faith when tragedy struck.
And he tore down the ropes.
Thank you, Billy Graham, for saying "No."

I made this little hummingbird and bleeding heart necklace. I am going to put it into the "Tatting" category in the fair.
I was going to put something else in that category, and put the necklace in the jewelry category, but I just finished a beaded necklace, so, I am switching things around. It is only 1 week until things have to go to the fair! I need to print out some stuff an get it all ready to go.
By the way.. here is the beaded one. I am doing a Doctor Who swap on Ravelry, and got inspired to do a Dalek necklace. It is all hand beaded...not made on a loom.

About Us
Call MVP Electric, Heating & Cooling for Preventative Generator Maintenance Services in Kansas City, MO
While it's important to have a backup generator in our area, the hope is that you will be using your generator infrequently. Unfortunately, when generators sit, they can become coated with dirt and dust, and the fuel line may develop some issues. As such, it's important to schedule bi-annual maintenance for your generator so that it will run when you need it most. Homeowners can do their part by running their generator every couple of months, but maintenance should always be left to trained professionals, like the ones at MVP Electric, Heating & Cooling. Our experts will cover your entire generator front to back to make sure it's in the best shape possible, as well as its connection to your electrical panel. No one wants to find out during a power outage that their generator needed maintenance, so get ahead of yours and call our experts today!
MVP Electric, Heating & Cooling provides preventative generator maintenance services in Kansas City, MO and the surrounding areas. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Give us a call today or schedule an appointment online.
What Happens During a Generator Maintenance Appointment?
When a MVP Electric, Heating & Cooling specialist performs maintenance on your backup generator in Kansas City, MO, it isn't a quick once–over of the unit; it is a full tune–up that includes cleaning, lubrication, inspection and system checks. Typical tasks include:
- An oil change
- Air filter change
- Check of all electrical components, including wiring,
- Check of all connections
- Performance testing
All moving parts will be properly lubricated and any dirt, dust and debris will be cleaned from the unit to ensure optimal operation. If any issues are discovered that require repair, you'll be alerted immediately so you can schedule a repair appointment.
Can I Do Maintenance Myself?
For an in–depth maintenance appointment, it's important to always call one of our experts. But there is something you can do every month or so, and that's run your generator for about 20 minutes. Just as you would start an unused car weekly to keep the battery charged, you want to run your backup generator to make sure the system can do its job. Look for signs of potential problems, such as strange sounds, abnormal odors, poor operation or an inability to power your home adequately. If you do find any kind of issue, call our experts and schedule a repair appointment.
Does Maintenance Differ Will Fuel Type?
Some homeowners have concerns that certain fuel types may be more problematic than others when it comes to maintenance of their system. Where the difference comes with fuels is cleanliness: some fuels burn more cleanly than others. For instance, gas is the cleanest–burning fuel of all fossil fuels; as such, there won't be a lot of mess to clean up. Propane is also quite clean, but not as clean as natural gas. Diesel will be the least–clean fuel, so your technician will likely have more work to do during a maintenance appointment if this is the fuel your generator uses.

Commercial Power of Hip Hop!
After emerging from the streets of the Bronx and other subcultures, Hip-Hop has become a dominant force in American and Global pop culture. Once a local art form of street stories and freestyle poetry, the Hip-Hop sound, style and slang now provides incitement for mainstream movies, television, radio, fashion, advertising, news media and of course, The Internet. "Hip Hop" has permeated popular cultures and its influence has become worldwide in an unprecedented fashion. Because of its enormous universal appeal, "Hip Hop" culture is the great unifier of diverse populations. It has gone from the fringes, to the suburbs, and into the corporate boardrooms. The Hip Hop culture has challenged the system in ways that have unified individuals (particularly the youth) across a rich ethnic spectrums throughout the world.
This is evident as Doritos and Mountain Dew slam us with a Super Bowl LII commercial featuring "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage lip-syncing Busta Rhymes's "Look At Me Now" and Morgan Freeman lip-syncing Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On."
Dinklage will #SPITFIRE. Freeman will be #ICECOLD. But only one can win #DoritosBlaze

The Purposeful Planning Institute hosts teleconferences which feature Thought Leaders and Industry Innovators addressing twelve different themes across a wide spectrum of interests and issues.
Best Practices for Trusts, Trustees & Beneficiaries
Harvard Professor Robert Sitkoff has suggested trusts are moving out of the "Age of Distribution" and into the "Age of Management", where the primary purpose of trusts will be to manage assets for multiple generations of a family. We believe there is another more exciting possibility: trusts are entering the Age of Relationship where they will, if designed and managed purposefully, have a more positive impact on family systems and beneficiaries. Past topics have covered a wide range of cutting edge concepts such as the Generative Trustee, the Keys of Purposeful Trusts, the Financial Skills Trust, the Life Plan Trust, the uses and abuses of Trust Protectors and much, much more. Our guests have included James E. "Jay" Hughes, Jr., Hartley Goldstone, Jon and Eileen Gallo, Timothy J. Belber, Larry Hause, Justin Anderson, and John A. Warnick.

2011 Missouri Fourth of July Car Crash Statistics
The Missouri State Highway Patrol released its complete list of Fourth of July car accident statistics today. The counting period extended from July 1st to July 4th and over those dates, 259 crashes were reported. According to the report, 10 deaths resulted from traffic crashes over the holiday weekend and 130 injuries were reported as well. 168 individuals were arrested this year for DWI's. In comparison to last year, 281 crashes were reported, 134 individuals were injured and 6 fatalities were reported. Similarly, 169 individuals were arrested for DWI's last holiday weekend.
Fortunately, there were no boating deaths in Missouri this year. However, 10 boating crashes were reported and five individuals sustained injuries. 33 individuals were arrested this holiday weekend for boating while intoxicated. One drowning fatality was also released as a 26-year-old man drowned while attempting to swim across Current River in Carter County, Missouri. Prayers go out to wounded individuals and the family and friends of all those who passed away this holiday weekend.
Although Fourth of July weekend has come and gone, it is still important that drivers use careful and cautious driving tactics. While a driver can safeguard himself by driving carefully, he or she cannot be safeguarded from the negligence of others. If you or a loved one has been injured or even killed in an accident that was caused by the reckless driving of someone else, you may be entitled to compensation in a claim for wrongful death. Call a Missouri injury lawyer today to discuss your potential case. Call toll free at 855.402.7274 or at 314.409.7060.

Disney Channel is a Bulgarian language children's television channel that began broadcasting on September 19, 2009 (as announced in a TV promo), after replacing Jetix CEE. Like all new CEE Disney Channels, it will be operated under a formal agreement by Jetix Europe NV to lease its channels to sister company, Disney Channels EMEA (in both of which Giorgio Stock is part of the company management).[1] Like Jetix CEE, Disney Channel will be distributed in Bulgaria by Media Link, who will also provide translation for the channel's series.
The channel was founded in 1999 as Fox Kids Central and Eastern Europe, following the 1996 start of the UK channel of the same name (now Disney XD). Fox Kids' programming consisted mostly of older shows from Fox Children's Productions, which were aired in the US Fox Kids block, and shows from its co-owners, Saban International. Saban also supplied the channel with the series from the Marvel animated universe. Most Bulgarian operators made it available in 1999, often with Russian audio. Later, they mostly switched to the English track.
Meanwhile, in 2000 a new Bulgarian channel bTV owned by News Corporation at that time launched and had a Fox Kids block, which aired on weekday afternoons and weekend mornings. In 2004 the Fox Kids block was renamed to Jetix. The block was removed in 2008, although bTV still airs shows from Jetix, but not part of any block.
In 2001, The Walt Disney Company announced its intention to buy Fox Kids' majority owner, Fox Family Worldwide, along with Haim Saban's entertainment companies, which in turn partly owned Fox Family. After the deal, new original programming got less than before, as Saban's animation studio was not bought by Disney and was split off as a separate company - SIP Animation. In 2002, Disney created the Jetix brand, set to replace Fox Kids (the name of which was related 20th Century Fox). However, it only appeared in Europe in 2004 as a block on all Fox Kids channels. Finally, on January 1, 2005 all channels were re-branded to Jetix.
After Robert Iger became Disney's new chief executive officer, the company started to rename some of its properties in order to focus more on its key brands - Disney, ABC, and perhaps ESPN. Maybe as a result of this, in 2008 Disney announced it would close its US Toon Disney channel, along with its Jetix programming block, and replace it with Disney XD - a new channel aimed at a different audience (boys aged from 6–14 years) with more action-oriented shows. After Disney XD successfully launched on February 13, 2009 in the US, the Disney-ABC Television Group re-branded Jetix France to Disney XD on April 1, 2009 and it was expected to be rolled out to other European territories in 2009.[2][3] On May 26, 2009, however, Disney announced that the Jetix channel in certain countries (namely Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria) will be renamed to The Disney Channel, marking that channel's first introduction in these countries. An exact date was not mentioned but it was expected that the change would happen by the end of 2009.[4] The first Disney Channel promos "coming soon", but on August 2, 2009 new promos appeared that stated the launch date as September 19, 2009. It was also announced to the media a few days later.[5] On June 1, 2011 the channel changed logo. On July 21, 2014 the channel changed its logo again with the current variation, used in the US version.

FT. WORTH, Texas — Richard Grand, vice president at a local medical devices company, got saved last year at age 42 and quickly shed his reserved manner.
"He's gotten super huggy," says one fellow church member. "I walk into the foyer and before I know it he's on me like a blanket."
Grand was a hard-driving businessman who had attended the church for years, but didn't give his heart to the Lord until recently.
After that, his personal manner "changed dramatically," says one friend. "We all thought we knew Richard. No way. The guy's a hugging machine."
Grand now greets friends and strangers alike with a full-body embrace. Whenever someone defensively offers their hand to shake, Grand moves right in.
"He hugged my wife, me, my three children and my mother who was visiting from Wisconsin," says one man. "There was nothing we could do to stop him."
Some say they don't mind brief hugs, but Grand's tend to last for five seconds or more.
"It gets uncomfortable," says one friend. "When you're thigh to thigh with another guy, even a Christian, it's creepy, I don't care how full of God's love he is."
Some people resist the hugs, backing off and putting their hands up. But Grand chases them down happily saying, "Now come back here!"
Grand has even taken to telling everyone he loves them, leaving them wondering what to say in return. Some say, "I love you in the Lord, Richard." Others say, "That's great, Richard" or simply "Thank you."
For his part, Grand says he's "so full of the love of the Lord, there's no way I'm keeping it inside. The Bible is clear that they will know us by our love."
But others hope Grand finds another way to show it.
"I'd prefer a firm, brief handshake," says one man. "That would be a lot more meaningful to me." •

Make everyone ask, "where did you get that rug?" It's bold…it's contemporary…yet, this rug still brings comfort and warmth to a room with the braided construction and warm wool blend color palette.
MATERIAL: 65% Polyester /35% Wool
CONSTRUCTION: Braided
FEATURES: Wool, Reversible, Made in USA
Retain the beauty of these fine products by regular vacuuming using the hard surface attachment. Do not use the beater bar on your rug. Remove spots with any dry cleaning fluid. Periodic professional dry cleaning is recommended. Accessory products may be machine washed, cold water, laid flat to dry.
If threads which hold the braids loosen or break simply sew together with a needle and strong thread. Trim, never pull loose ends. What may appear to be an irregularity in color or construction is actually part of the homespun look. Reverse for twice the wear.
Floor padding is strongly recommended to prevent yarn color dye transfer and provide comfort, safety, and durability.
Slight irregularities are inherent to all products. Minimal size, dye lot, and pattern repeat variations are to be expected from handcrafting. Due to tight packing for shipment, product may not lay flat; starting from the center, work wrinkles out with hands or pole.
* Cleaning and care may differ depending on product contents.Tip: We recommend the use of a non-skid pad to keep the rug in place on smooth surfaces. Use of a rug pad is recommended to extend the life of your rug and prevent shifting and sliding.

Hi everyone. Apologies if anyone had got the impression that I've dropped off the map for the last 3 weeks.
My excuse is the usual one – I've been really busy!
I've had a couple of shadow puppet workshops in schools. The first one was a little performance of "Edward Lear's Nonsense" by me as well as a little lecture demo. about different kinds of puppets. This was followed by the kids making their own shadow puppets using Prokofiev's "Peter & the Wolf" as a theme.
The second was with Nursery & Reception classes at a school in Wigan where they were having a "Geography Week" and their group was looking at Asia & China and therefore wanted to do shadow puppets. So they had a performance from me of "Jabberwocky!" as well as looking at different places in the world shadow puppets come from. Then we made some Chinese dragon puppets to a design that I'm rather proud of and we did a bit of a dragon dance round the room with the puppets and some music. The kids were very sweet and gave me many compliments on my show and seemed to enjoy their puppets and the dragon procession a lot.
In between these Tim did Rough Magic Theatre's Mad Hatter's Tea Party walkabout for an Art & Literature festival in Stretford, Manchester which I went along to as well.
I have also been doing a secret shadow puppetry project with another theatre company. I've been asked to keep it under wraps as they want it to be a big surprise for the audience but I will be able to tell you all about it soon.
I'm also doing a Christmas Event in Lancaster coming up soon – which I will put up on the "Where You Can See Me" page as soon as I've got more details for you.

A round up of news stories this morning about Manchester United.
The Daily Star claims Manchester United are one of the sides interested in signing Barcelona defender Martin Montoya.
Montoya has struggled to break into Luis Enrique's long term thinking at the club and is being tracked by several European clubs.
His agent confirmed there are sides in England who have made contact with United thought to be one of them.
Manchester United are reportedly closing in a deal to sign Enzo Perez from Benfica.
The 28-year-old Argentine is one of several players to have been linked with joining the club in recent weeks.
TalkSPORT has suggested that United have taken pole position to negotiate a deal, which would go through in January.
United have also become one of the latest sides linked with a move for German World Cup star Christoph Kramer.
The £20 million rated central midfielder has been strongly linked with moves to Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur.
Kramer is thought to be appealing to Louis van Gaal because of his age and potential.

Pretoria – The Department of Home Affairs says Minister Naledi Pandor has set up a mechanism to ensure that the number of days each illegal immigrant spends at the transit centre, Lindela, does not exceed 120 days, as stipulated by law.
Addressing the media in Pretoria on Thursday, Home Affairs Director-General Mkuseli Apleni said the department would continue to enforce the observance of the immigration laws of the country within the framework of the Constitution.
The department said the court case brought against it by the Human Rights Commission and People against Suffering, Suppression, Oppression and Poverty (Passop) was withdrawn in court on Tuesday, 13 November. The case sought to ensure that inmates at Lindela were not detained for more than 120 days.
"The withdrawal arose from the fact that by the time the case was brought against the department, the 39 inmates on whose behalf the case was brought had already been released or deported," said Apleni.
"The challenges that had previously led to inmates overstaying the stipulated 120 days arises from, among others, a deliberate attempt to subvert the law by refusing to supply officers at the transit centre with details of their origin and/or nationality," he added.
Lindela is a place where illegal immigrants are detained and thereafter deported to their countries of origin. Pandor is expected to visit the centre to interact with inmates and staff members.
Apleni said extended stays at the centre were also due to some embassies and high commissions not being forthcoming to assist the department in identifying their nationals, thus delaying the process of deportation.
"These issues are a matter of concern and continue to receive the attention of the minister with a view to finding an amicable resolution to these challenges." – SAnews.gov.za

Last month, we released our official 2013 Employment Background Check Trends Survey report. The report includes findings from nearly 1,000 Human Resources professionals in various industries across the United States, who responded to our survey on background checks for employment at the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013.
One of the questions we asked was if their organization asks candidates to self-disclose past criminal history on their job applications.
Despite the guidance issued by the EEOC in April of 2012—recommending that employers should not ask candidates about convictions on job applications—79% of respondents say they are continuing to do so (see chart below). Only 9% say they do not ask candidates for self-disclosure. However, the EEOC's guidance did open up a bit of gray area, as it said that employers who do inquire about criminal convictions on job applications should limit their inquiries "to convictions that are job-related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity."
The guidance opens up continued debate on the subject, and the results show that employers continue to put a high value on criminal record self- disclosure at the application stage of hiring. It is important to note that some employers in regulated industries simply can't hire those with any or specific types of criminal records. As employers search for qualified talent, they will have to continue to balance fair treatment of candidates against their own need to make informed hiring decisions.
Some Tips Regarding Applicant Self-Disclosure
- Make sure you understand and consider the EEOC guidance on this subject. It doesn't mean that you have to change your practices, but you should be informed.
- Make sure that there are no state or local laws that prevent you from asking the question on your job application; so-called "Ban the Box" laws.
- If you choose to remove the question from your application, don't forget to ask it later in the hiring process.

Shop Internet Configuration
Internet-Minimum speed requirements
o Ping: Less than 20ms Ping represents the reaction time of your connection. The higher the number, the more likely you will have latency (delays) in data transfer to and from the web. o Download: 1mbs per device o Upload: 1mbs per device Example: If your shop has 5 computers, 5 VoIP phones, 10 employee cell phones and 10 tablets, that equals 30 devices so your minimum Download and Upload speed would be 30mbs/30mbsWireless-Minimum hardware requirements
o High Performance GB Wireless Router o Router should be centrally located in the building- Shops are built mostly of cinder block and metal framing. This architecture can limit the range of your Wi-Fi connection and create weak signal strength in the middle of an open space. When outfitting your shop with Wi-Fi, the primary high performance wireless router should be centrally located in the building. - Once the Wi-Fi is available, the signal strength should be tested at all areas in which Mobile Manager Pro will be utilized. If necessary, add wired wireless access points to strategic areas of your shop that will provide strong signal strength where needed. - The SSID and Security Key for each access point should match that of your primary wireless device. This allows for the devices to transition seamlessly while moving around your shop. Your Local Area Network (LAN) must be on the same network. This is achieved by having only one device on your network serve DHCP and all devices that need to communicate with each other must receive their DHCP from that device and have permission to communicate with each other across the network. We recommend the following device:
o Netgear WNDR4500 N900- If you decide to seek other types of routers using the minimum specifications, we cannot guarantee the device will perform sufficiently. Selecting a non-recommended device can cause poor performance and lower results.
Data Host Computer- The data host computer should always use a wired internet connection. Using a wireless connection for the data host computer reduces the ability of the computer to serve the data by 50% when using a high performance wireless router. This especially holds true when the database is a MS Access database as corruption will occur if there is even a brief interruption to the Wi-Fi connection. When Used as A Workstation - Recommended Requirements
o Core I7-6700K or equivalent processor o If custom building your unit, be sure to select a motherboard that will support the processors capability. o High Performance gaming quality video card o 16 GB RAMWhen Used Only as a Server - While a Xeon processor is listed in this section, please consider whether your requirements for the server require this higher cost processor. In most small and medium sized automotive shop implementations, the Core I7 processor listed above will do just fine at a fraction of the cost. - Recommended Requirements
o Xeon Processor E7-4809 v3 o 16 GB RAM with room for expansionWorkstation Computer - Although minimum specifications from the Shop Management System companies may indicate lower specifications for a workstations computer, we recommend the following computer specifications due to the computer being used for more than just the shop management system itself for things like running reports, add-on programs such as Bolt On Technology, web browsing and research for parts and how to video tutorials. Recommended Requirements
o Core I7-6700K or equivalent processor o If custom building your unit, be sure to select a motherboard that will support the processors capability. o High Performance gaming quality video card o 8 GB RAM with room for expansion

Salmon is one favorite fish to cook and eat. It is readily available, can be cooked in so many ways, and is a tasty fish to enjoy. Many don't know that salmon skin is absolutely delicious when deep-fried with skin on. It is crispy and tasty, but cooking it without burning is rather an acquired skill. The skin, making direct contact with the pan or grill, is most likely to burn before the inside of the salmon is cooked.
The best way to ensure the fish is thoroughly cooked is to use the method of sous vide. It is a French method of cooking, where the food, in this case the salmon, is placed inside the food bag, along with its seasoning or herbs. It is then vacuum-sealed using a vacuum-sealer, which locks in the flavors of the seasonings and herbs. The vacuum-sealed food bag is then given a water bath in a sous vide water oven or using a sous vide immersion.
Source: https://www.pinterest.co.uk
It is important that the food bag is tightly sealed to lock in flavors, and to prevent water from entering the bag, thus ruining or diluting the flavors. As important as the sous vide equipment is the vacuum-sealing system you use. According to Abigail's foodsaver reviews, a countertop vacuum sealer can do the trick, and most models these days are automatic, making it so easy to use. After the pre-set cooking time is done, remove the salmon, and give it a quick searing on the grill or pan to make the skin crispy.
Another way to enjoy salmon is poaching it. It is a method of cooking where the food is submerged in water, or in this case, we are going to use extra virgin olive oil for added flavor and to make this meal totally healthy and good for the heart.
Ingredients: (good for 4)
- King salmon fillet, center-cut, skin and bones removed, 1 lb.
- Fennel bulbs, stalks trimmed off, fronts removed for later use, 2 pcs.
- Granulated sugar.
- Kosher salt.
- Extra virgin olive oil.
- Canola oil.
- Orange, 12 segments.
For the glaze:
- Blood Oranges, 8 pcs.
- Granulated sugar, 3 tbsp.
- Kosher salt.
- Extra virgin olive oil.
Brine for poaching:
- Kosher salt, 3.5 tbsps.
- Granulated sugar, 3 tbsps.
- 1.5 cups iced water.
- 1.5 cups warm water.
- Fleur de sel (garnish).
- Mix the ingredients for brine;
- Put the salmon in the brine mixture, rubbing it on the fish for 10 minutes, then rinse off the brine and pat-dry the fish with paper towel;
- Rub olive oil all over the salmon, then place inside food bag;
- Vacuum-seal the food bag;
- Put the vacuum-sealed food bag inside the water bath at 60 degrees Celsius for 8 minutes to get medium rare salmon;
- Remove from water bath and put aside;
- Put the fennel bulbs inside food bags, vacuum-seal;
- Put the food bags inside the sous vide water bath at 85 degrees Celsius for 1 hour and 15 minutes;
- Put salmon on plate, with fennel bulbs on the side. Pour the orange glaze on top of the salmon;
- Put some fleur de sel as garnish, and enjoy.
This dish is a burst of flavor with the buttery-texture of salmon and the acidic taste of the oranges. Salmon is brain food, rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Extra virgin olive oil is good for the heart. This dish gives you delicious food, and also nutritious food.

While scouring French decor magazines from the 1950s and '60s, I came across a feature on the first lady of couture Nina Ricci's Paris flat. There was no mention of Castaing, but the print on the walls (which you will see A LOT of in the book) and the pink striped tenting of the entrance, below, made me pause.
Castaing's grandson Frédéric confirmed that the Riccis had indeed been clients and so here for your pleasure are the photos which sadly didn't make the final cut. Nina was well into her seventies and had already set aside the reins of her maison de couture when this was published in 1961. However there are several touches which speak to the client's fashion background which veer from the classic Castaing canon, such as the abundant use of silks, grey carpeting, and general restrained use of patterns.
A mahogany bookcase and writing table cut a bold profile against the grey walls and black-bordered white carpeting in Robert's masculine study.
In contrast to Robert's sleek space, Nina's bedroom was layered with flowers, books, and her collection of glass. The carpeting is mouse grey over which is layered an "Eastern" carpet which MC expressly disliked. Love that long fringe!

"As a mentor in the Accelerating Social Transformation professional course, I met an incredibly high caliber of passionate individuals. They are ready to take on more challenging roles or pursue new career avenues. Their participation in the course has given them new insights, exposed them to innovative techniques and prepared them to lead national or worldwide initiatives. Companies, institutions and leaders should be drawing talent from Accelerating Social Transformation immediately."
– Dana Manciagli, President, Job Search Master Class®, Global Career Expert
"From the moment I arrived in Seattle I realized I was in for the learning experience of a lifetime with a unique and special window into the world of philanthropy and the world of practitioners of social transformation. The potential for tension and power imbalance between these two is real but Akhtar curated an experience that allowed us to both hold that tension and the potential for the good that can come together when the multi-sectors come together and "taste the ground" together. This course surpassed my expectations."
– Ann Verhey-Henk, Managing Director, Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship, University of Michigan School of Public Health
"Accelerating Social Transformation was an eye opener and unique. The leadership of Akhtar Badshah was inspiring, amazing power of collaboration, high level Networking and sharing of real time experiences. The speakers gathered under one platform was commendable. This program is a must who sets his/her mind to change the world for better."
– Naila Chowdhury, Director, Social Impact and Innovation, University of California, San Diego
"Accelerating Social Transformation is a one-of-a-kind program, providing participants with the rare opportunity to learn from a diverse group of experts, apply knowledge directly to their work, and collaborate with peers through engaging conversations.
Those of us currently working within the social impact space are doing so at a time like no other. AST was strategically built around 4 key changes taking place: changes in philanthropic giving and funding models, impact and the value of SROI, exponential growth in technologies available, and discussions around effective scale and systems level change. The benefits of AST vastly exceed the 3- day course, by creating a network of change-agents, it was just the start, partnerships were built and conversations sparked that will continue for years to come."
– Melissa Edmiston, MPH, Vice President of Operations, Mavuno
"Participating in the inaugural Accelerating Social Transformation professional course has helped set me up for success in my new role to lead national skills initiatives for Microsoft Australia. The opportunity to meet so many creative, compassionate and intelligent people working to make a positive impact in our world was inspiring, and the structure and content of the course strongly facilitated deep learning for action."
– Dr. Eva Balan-Vnuk, National Skills Program Lead and State Director South Australia, Microsoft Australia
"If you're a change maker who would like to learn from top global foundations in a superbly designed world-class program that continues to provide support after you graduate, then this is definitely the program for you."

At first it looks like a terrible idea, but it doesn't take long to realize that this is pure joy captured on video.
The clip was filmed in late November by Jonas Landmark and Karin Bäckborns on Lake Blanktjärn in central Sweden. Their dogs Trissa and Vilma tagged along too.
While the ice is actually around 10 cm thick, it looks paper thin (you can actually see the fish swimming underneath their feet).
From the looks of things, this is an example of congelation ice, which can form on a freshwater lake that is mostly free of impurities. Stanford scientist Miles Traer recently explained to io9 that the ideal scenario for ice like this involves "a slow freeze, big ice crystals, close to no air bubbles and water devoid of dust and other particle impurities."
Landmark told the Weather Network that the lake doesn't usually look this but that the conditions were just "perfect."
"It was as being at an aquarium," he said.
So. Freaking. Cool.

Editor's Note: EarthTechling is proud to repost this piece courtesy of Future360.
After some extensive polling, we discovered that cleantech isn't exactly well known. In fact, most people have no idea what it is. So that's why we're launching Operation Cleantech to let everyone in on the best kept secret in the world. First thing we need to understand is just how many people don't understand cleantech. We sent out reporter Bryan Erwin out onto the streets of downtown Los Angeles to find out.
Answers ranged from a cleaning service to crime scene clean up to alternative transportation. However, once Angelenos learned that cleantech referred to superior technologies that use less resources — like green buildings, renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric vehicles — they were supportive of clean technology overall.

Today's the day that Fargo 2 became the only Fargo.
Now starts the process of showing everyone all the cool stuff it can do because the CMS is in the user's machine not in a central server. And I look forward to helping lots of people get their publishing systems up and running, so it isn't all dependent on me.
It all works so well because of JavaScript and Node.js. These are great tools and environments. Made greater because they are becoming the standard platform for app deployment. My free Heroku server is running smoothly. And when I need more power, I can just slide the scroll bar to deploy more instances. I've been wanting to develop this way for many years. We never got there with Frontier. That's life!
Anyway, here's the blog post to Fargo users announcing the change.
Lots more to come in the weeks and months ahead now that this is no longer just a development project, it's now a platform.
