Getting between airport and hotel can often be a real pain, but with you it was as easy as it could be. Very much appreciate the email confirmations and reminders, as well as your all-inclusive fare.

Secondary scoring had its fair share Sunday night at TD Garden, but league leader in goals, David Pastrnak is not done producing by any means as he added a goal and an assist in the Boston Bruins, 4-1, winning effort against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Jaroslav Halak (6-1-2, 1.72 goals against average, .945 save percentage in 11 games played) made 37 saves on 38 shots against (.974 SV%) in the win for Boston, while Malcolm Subban (2-1-0, 3.17 GAA, .885 SV% in 4 GP) turned aside 33 out of 37 shots faced for an .892 SV% in the loss for Vegas.
Both teams were playing their second game in two nights, with the Bruins having hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday and the Golden Knights having visited the Montreal Canadiens as part of their four-game road trip.
Boston finished their four-game homestand, 3-1-0, while Vegas went 1-3-0 on their Eastern Conference swing.
The Bruins improved to 10-5-2 (22 points) on the season, good enough for 3rd in the Atlantic Division– tied in points for 2nd place with Toronto, but trailing by one regulation-plus-overtime win.
The Golden Knights fell to 7-10-1 (15 points) so far this season and remained in 7th place in the Pacific Division with the loss– four points ahead of the Los Angeles Kings from the basement of the division.
Bruce Cassidy made two changes to his lineup on the blue line as a result of an injury, but didn't mix things up among the forwards. Cassidy announced Sunday morning that Brandon Carlo was "questionable" and would be a game-time decision with an upper body injury.
Jeremy Lauzon was an emergency recall on Sunday and would be in the lineup in place of Carlo if No. 25 in black-and-gold wasn't ready to go.
Matt Grzelcyk slid up to the first defensive pairing with Zdeno Chara, as Lauzon played on the third pair with Steven Kampfer. Torey Krug and John Moore were left together from Saturday night.
Cassidy also indicated that he expected to talk with Tuukka Rask about his return from a personal leave of absence with a decision in place by Tuesday before the Bruins hit the road for a four-game road trip. Cassidy suspects Rask will rejoin the team on Tuesday, but wouldn't commit to a definitive answer until having the appropriate time and place discussion with the goaltender.
Noel Acciari remained a healthy scratch on Sunday, with Urho Vaakanainen (concussion), Charlie McAvoy (concussion) and Kevan Miller (hand) still out of the lineup for Boston.
Rushing through the neutral zone early in the first period, Danton Heinen worked the puck to Anders Bjork as the Bruins forwards entered the attacking zone. Bjork flipped the puck back to Heinen (2) for the game's first goal as No. 43 tipped a redirection past Subban to give Boston a 1-0 lead at 2:54 of the first period.
Bjork (2) had the only assist on the goal.
Fellow third liner– and centering the line for the second straight game– Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson had a run in with the penalty calling threshold after he got his stick between the legs of Golden Knights forward and former Bruin, Reilly Smith.
Forsbacka Karlsson went to the box for tripping at 5:43 and Vegas went on the power play for the first time of the night. The Golden Knights failed to convert on the skater advantage.
Almost four minutes later, Pastrnak hooked Jonathan Marchessault and was sent to the sin bin at 9:27 of the first period. Vegas failed to score on the ensuing power play.
For the fifth time in three games, Kampfer found his way to the box with a tripping minor against Ryan Carpenter at 11:55, but the Golden Knights weren't able to make the Bruins brass pay on the resulting skater advantage.
Late in the first period the Golden Knights caught Halak out of position and sent a chance through the slot that was intercepted by Moore as the Bruins defender was in the right place at the right time with his stick.
Moore then sent Sean Kuraly on rush back the other way and with a dump into the corner and Lauzon chasing, Subban came out of his crease to make a play on the loose puck– except Subban overcommitted.
With a gift sent by the hockey gods themselves, Lauzon (1) had the easiest conversion on his first career National Hockey League goal at 17:51 of the first period. Kuraly (2) and Moore (2) had the primary and secondary assists, respectively.
William Carrier tripped up David Krejci at 18:29 of the first period and gave the Bruins their first power play of the night.
Not to be outdone, while on a rush to the net, Brad Marchand got tripped by Subban in front of the goal, yielding a 5-on-3 skater advantage for Boston at 18:58 that would extend into the second period if the Bruins didn't score by the end of the first.
Krejci dove to keep the puck in the zone as time was expiring in the opening frame and generated one last chance before the first intermission on all-around dominant 5-on-3 opportunity to close out the period.
After 20 minutes of game action, the Bruins led, 2-0, on the scoreboard and trailed the Golden Knights, 15-11, in shots on goal. Boston held onto an advantage in blocked shots (3-2), takeaways (5-4) and face-off win percentage (81-19). Vegas led in hits (11-6) after one period and both teams had one giveaway each.
Entering the dressing room for the first intermission the Golden Knights were 0/3 on the power play, while the Bruins were 0/2. That would change in the first minute of the second period.
Patrice Bergeron sent a pass to Pastrnak that got bent out of shape just enough by a Vegas defender for Pastrnak's only option in the low slot to be to send the vulcanized piece of rubber back to Bergeron off a body.
From there, Marchand (6) was in front of the goal at the right time to receive a quick bumper pass from Bergeron and redirect the puck with elevation into the twine just as the power play was expiring.
Bergeron (16) and Pastrnak (7) had the assist's on Marchand's goal at 58 seconds of the second period and the Bruins led, 3-0.
Midway through the middle frame, Alex Tuch stripped Moore of the puck in front of the Boston goal and prior to breaking into the trapezoid, Tuch slid a one-handed pass back to Cody Eakin (5) for a one-timer that beat Halak as Krug was out of position behind the play.
Vegas was on the scoreboard and cut the lead to two-goals as the B's led, 3-1. Tuch (5) had the only assist on Eakin's goal at 10:55 of the second period.
Late in the second period, Vegas again gave Boston a 5-on-3 power play for 42 seconds after Brayden McNabb was penalized for holding Marchand at 15:05 and Tomas Nosek was called for tripping Bergeron at 16:24.
The B's did not convert on either power play opportunity.
Entering the second intermission, Boston led, 3-1, on the scoreboard and, 28-27, in shots on goal. Vegas had an advantage in blocked shots (6-5) and hits (17-13), while the Bruins led in takeaways (9-6), giveaways (7-3) and face-off win% (63-38). The Golden Knights were 0/3 on the power play after 40 minutes and Boston was 0/4.
Vegas notched another penalty as a team at 6:42 of third period having sustained a delay of game face-off violation bench minor infraction. Tomas Hyka served the penalty for the Golden Knights and the Bruins went on the power play.
The B's did not convert on the ensuing advantage.
Moments later, Kuraly exchanged words with former teammate and current Golden Knights defender, Colin Miller, at 12:04 of third period and earned himself a minor penalty for roughing. Vegas did not score on the resulting power play.
Late in the third, the Golden Knights sent themselves back in momentum with two consecutive tripping penalties being called at the same time thanks to Max Pacioretty tripping Bergeron and Deryk Engelland subsequently getting his stick between the legs of Marchand and bringing the Bruins forward down at 15:40.
Boston converted on the 5-on-3 power play after working the puck around from Pastrnak to Krejci, then across the point to Krug for a bumper pass back to Pastrnak (16) whereby the league's leading goal scorer one-timed a shot past Subban to give the Bruins a three-goal lead.
Krug (6) and Krejci (13) had the assists on Pastrnak's power play goal at 16:08 of the third period and Boston led, 4-1.
At the final horn, the Bruins solidified a 4-1 victory with a 7-0-1 record when scoring first this season. Boston also improved to 8-0-0 when leading after two periods.
The B's led in face-off win% 58-42 and the Golden Knights dominated just about every other statistical category after 60 minutes. Vegas led in shots on goal (38-37), blocked shots (8-7), giveaways (9-8) and hits (25-20).
Boston finished the night 1/7 on the power play, while the Golden Knights were powerless on the skater advantage, finishing 0/4 on Sunday night.
One consolation prize for the Vegas franchise is that through 100 regular season games in franchise history, the Golden Knights have the most wins among all expansion franchises in their first 100 regular season games with 58.
Sunday night was former Montreal Canadien and noted Bruins mood-killer, Max Pacioretty's first matchup against the Bruins since being traded to Vegas, while it was also Danton Heinen and Sean Kuraly's 100th career NHL games.
The Bruins carry a two-game winning streak heading onto the road for a four-game road trip beginning in Colorado (Nov. 14th) and swinging through Dallas (Nov. 16th), Arizona (Nov. 17th) and Detroit (Nov. 21st) before returning home for Black Friday's matchup with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

This is one of my favorite art projects we have done in a while. I am a pintrest troll and came across this project about a month ago. I thought it was a perfect spring project for my students. First I drew out a template for the grass and copied it onto green paper. I like to use nice thick lines so my students are able to cut with ease. Next, my students glued the bottom (uncut) portion of their grass to white paper. Once their grass was placed I had grids of insects that my students were able to cut out and glue under the grass.
Go ahead and download your freebie kit and try this out with your students! Let me know how much fun you have in your classroom too! What are some of your favorite fine motor building activities?


text: Granny handjobs. Its always good to have a grandma who is still horny as fuck. At her age its surprising just how horny the milf still gets and that's exactly what happens to Joey when he encounters his Aunt Ciara Blue. Over 40 granny Ciara loves to still tease all the guys in the neighborhood, hell, with a banging body and soft perky tits, its not far fetched that all the men still want to fuck her older pussy still. Joey is a young stud and has a problem with his cock getting hard all the time, but that's OK because Aunt Ciara loves to make the young boy cum with her hands. While visiting his aunt, Joey gets the urge to masturbate and starts giving his mushroom tip a tug. He gets into it and is just about ready to cum but aunt Ciara walks in on him. She rushes to grab his cock before he nuts, and starts to jerk him off. Seconds later Joey spurts his goo all over himself and Ciara laps it up with delight. She is one cum loving granny indeed. Take a look at the video below for more of this handjob scene!

cPanel is a web hosting control panel. Hetzner offers licenses for cPanel. There is one license that is offered, allowing an unlimited amount of domains to be managed:
|Monthly Price
|€ 25.13
Price plus VAT, if applicable.
cPanel can be installed either automatically or manually, depending on your needs.
When ordering a new server an operating system can be selected, which is then pre-installed on the server. One of these operating systems can also be installed along with cPanel.
Currently cPanel can only be pre-installed with the following Operating System:
- CentOS 7.5 (cPanel 70)
If the server is already online, cPanel can be activated and installed automatically (along with an OS) via the "cPanel" tab of the server in Robot. Once you have restarted the server the installation will be automatically performed. You will get an email with the login details of both the OS and cPanel once the installation is complete.
Please note that this installation will erase all data on the drives in the server.
cPanel can also be installed manually. This is useful if, for example, it needs to be installed on an OS we don't pre-install it with.
The client needs to install cPanel themselves, we do not help with that. The license can be ordered directly via the "cPanel" tab of the server in the Robot, and is assigned to the IP of the server. To assign the license to an additional single IP or a subnet IP, a support request is required via the Robot.
Please note that cPanel cannot be installed on Windows, it is only supported on Linux.
Once cPanel has been installed you will have access to two different webinterfaces: WHM and cPanel.
WHM is the administration interface and is reachable under the following URL:
https://<IP Address of the server>:2087
In this interface you can setup accounts which will have access to cPanel.
cPanel is the account-level interface and is reachable under the following URL:
https://<IP Address of the server>:2083
In this interface you can setup a mailbox for each account for example.
Using the Hetzner name servers
After the installation of cPanel the Hetzner name servers are automatically configured as the default name servers in the cPanel configuration.
To use the Hetzner name servers as slave name servers you must first be sure that the Hetzner name servers are allowed the zone transfer.
To allow zone transfers from your name servers managed through cPanel/WHM you must include the following information in the /etc/named.conf configuration file (under "options"):
options { // Additional details allow-transfer {22.214.171.124;184.108.40.206;220.127.116.11;}; notify yes; }
Then, the configuration must be reloaded using the following command:
/etc/init.d/named reload
In Robot when you now create a DNS entry, you can select "Slave DNS Entry".
Where can I find answers to my questions concerning cPanel/WHM?
The support resources offered by cPanel can be found on their website:
The cPanel licensing seems to have failed - what can I do?
Sometimes, the license does not properly synchronize with the cPanel licensing server. In this case, please enter the following command on the command-line, which will manually synchronize the license:

The OCMS server was down for several hours during the night.
The server was up and running the whole time, but IIS had stopped responding, and restarting IIS did not remedy the problem. After rebooting the server, everything was up and running again.
I have been monitoring errors and warnings in the logs for a while, and the server had been running for like 4 months straight, so there was alot of memory being used that wasn't being released: SQL Server was using 700MB by itself! I am in process of moving several functions onto their own servers (mail, sql, etc), to help alleviate this. Right now everything is on one server, and they all fight with each other for memory.
I have 8Us of server space and am only currently using 1U of space! I'm working on a seperate mail server and extra storage, plus adding a few other network-related hardware goodies.
Server was slow over the weekend of St. Patrick's Day…

How long have they been next to each other? I think it is going to take these two a long time to accept each other, if they are going to. Every time you have to stop the meeting you risk going back to square one, although I know you've got to be very sure they are OK before leaving them to it!
I don't personally think female pigs are easy bonds. Easier than rabbits, yes, but I do think the personalities have to be right: either two easy going pigs, or one dominant and one submissive obviously works well. You've obviously got two fairly feisty pigs there (one especially), but they will also be reacting to the stress of the new bond.

No problems here ? MacAskill's statement contains no references to sectarian or racially motivated homicides yet at least SEVEN cases are suspected of having some level of sectarian motivation. With today given over to the Scottish Parliament's wave through via the SNP majority of the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill, the Scottish Government obviously felt it a suitable day to bury other bad news, namely the soaring murder statistics in Scotland which, strangely enough in a country where Roman Catholic churches have been desecrated & burned, letter bombs have been sent to high profile Catholic public figures & football supporters, and Catholics appear to be treated with a clear level of bias to the point of facing the statistical likelihood of being imprisoned more than other religious denominations, the desperate need to pass today's much mocked & badly worded anti-bigot bill to tackle such sectarian crimes does not apparently extend to tackling sectarian murders in Scotland where there is NOT ONE single mention or admission of any sectarian or racially related murders in the Justice Secretary's considerably long, defensive statement on the Homicide statistics.
The full report on Homicide statistics for the past year can be read online here : Statistical Release Crime and Justice Series: Homicide in Scotland, 2010-11. SLR's report on Scotland's sectarian crime statistics is HERE which were published in a vague format, after the historical figures showing much more detail including it is thought sectarian related murder cases, were deliberately destroyed by Crown Office officials on political orders.
The failure of Mr MacAskill and Scottish Police Forces to admit to any sectarian related homicide in Scotland in the past year is somewhat at odds with the feelings of communities & Police on the ground, where, as Scottish Law Reporter revealed earlier this week, at least SEVEN murders in the West of Scotland this year which have been well reported in the media and are generally accepted by many to be 'religion related'. Yet there is no mention of any of this in the official statistics, on a day when the SNP controlled Scottish Government claims they are tackling sectarianism head on.
The Scottish Government's Press Releases & Mr MacAskill's statement :
Scotland's Chief Statistician today published Homicide in Scotland, 2010-11. The publication provides information on crimes of homicide as recorded by the police in Scotland in 2010-11.
The main findings are: In 2010-11, there were 95 homicide cases recorded by the police in Scotland, an increase of 19 per cent compared to 2009-10.
The 95 homicide cases recorded in 2010-11 resulted in the death of 97 victims, an increase of 18 per cent compared to the 82 victims that were recorded in 2009-10. This represented a rate of 19 victims per million population in Scotland, compared with 16 in 2009-10.
There were 77 male homicide victims in 2010-11, 79 per cent of the total number of victims recorded. The rate of male homicide victims (30 per million population) was more than 4 times the rate for female homicide victims (7 per million population).
Of the 95 homicide cases recorded in 2010-11, a total of 138 accused persons were identified. The majority (80 per cent ) of accused persons were male, with nearly half (45 per cent ) of all accused being males aged between 16 to 30 years.
The most common method of killing in the 10 year period covered by this statistical release was with a sharp instrument. In 2010-11, 61 homicide victims were killed by a sharp instrument, accounting for 63 per cent of all homicide victims recorded.
For 96 of the 97 homicide victims recorded in 2010-11, 1 or more accused persons had been identified. The police were able to establish what the relationship of the main accused was to 93 (97 per cent ) of these 96 victims. The main accused was known to 88 per cent of these 93 victims: 15 per cent of victims were presumed to have been killed by a partner or ex-partner, 16 per cent by a relative and 57 per cent by an acquaintance.
The alcohol and drug status was known for 97 (70 per cent ) of the 138 persons accused of homicide in 2010-11. Of these 97 accused, 79 per cent were reported to have been drunk and/or on drugs at the time the homicide was committed (53 per cent were drunk, 7 per cent were on drugs and 20 per cent were both drunk and on drugs). 21 per cent of accused persons were reported not to have been under the influence of either alcohol or drugs.
Strathclyde police force area, which contained 43 per cent of the estimated population of Scotland in 2010, accounted for 64 per cent (61) of all homicide cases recorded in 2010-11, increasing from 55 per cent (44) of all cases in 2009-10.
Official statistics are produced by professionally independent statistical staff. (with no political orientation, slant or bias whatsoever ! – Ed)
Booze & drugs appear to cause most homicides, and there are no religious or racially motivated murders according to 'Higher Power' MacAskill :
Alcohol-fuelled violence is costing lives, Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said today as statistics showed 97 people were victims of murder last year, with the vast majority of those accused under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Mr MacAskill said: "Every single life lost is one too many and every murder is a horrific tragedy for families, loved ones and for communities. I take today's figures very seriously and can assure every man woman and child that this Government will continue to work tirelessly to make Scotland a safer place.
"Although the murder rate is down by 30 percent since 2004/05, last year saw a rise from 2009/10. The statistics speak for themselves - most murders are carried out indoors, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, by someone known to the victim. These senseless acts are usually carried out by men, under the influence of cheap booze and drugs.
"Police cannot patrol every home and every doorstep, but we can take steps to stop these dreadful crimes taking place. We have put 1,000 extra police in communities across Scotland and our streets are still safer, with overall crime at its lowest rate for 35 years.
"But these figures confirm what we already know - bargain basement booze can have a fatal price. We will not shirk from taking tough action on alcohol abuse and we cannot allow this mindless violence, which has devastating consequences for families and communities across Scotland, to continue.
"Scots drink more than any other part of the UK. In a society where a man's weekly alcohol limit can be bought for about £4, tackling price is nothing short of essential. Our alcohol minimum pricing Bill, which has the support of police, doctors and nurses, will end pocket money prices on cheap supermarket white ciders, lager and value spirits and save lives.
"We have invested a record £155 million in tackling alcohol misuse since 2008, introduced a ban on quantity discounts and promotions in off-sales have been restricted. Meanwhile our Alcohol Framework outlines more than 40 measures to help prevent problems in the first place and improve support and treatment for those already experiencing them.
"Today's figures also show that the vast majority of killings involving knives are carried out indoors by perpetrators under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and not on our streets.
"Let me be crystal clear - tackling knife crime is an absolute priority for this Government and Scotland's prosecutors and courts have my backing in using the full force of the law to punish anyone who carries or uses a knife.
"Tough enforcement backed by education is key to tackling knife crime. That is why just this week the Lord Advocate announced a zero tolerance crackdown on knife carrying in a pilot project targeting Scotland's town and city centres. It follows on from this summer's strengthened prosecution policy which will see even more of these offenders facing the toughest of sentences of up to four years in prison.
"Ending Scotland's knife culture is not going to be an easy task - every incident or life lost, as these tragic cases show, is one too many. However, we are working hard to tackle the problem across the country and there will be absolutely no let up in our efforts."

Friday's 2A-State tournament results
Lady Oiler Emily Ryan's shot is blocked by a Lady Dragon Friday in Manhattan. I/R photo by Mark McCoy
MANHATTAN — The top-ranked,undefeated and three-time defending 2A champion Lady Oilers of Central Plains defeated the Lady Dragons of Valley Falls, 53-41, Friday getting one game closer to claiming a fourth consecutive 2A State basketball championship trophy in Manhattan.
It was a costly victory however, as Lady Oiler Kylee Kasselman, the team's fierce rebounder and a top scorer, rolled her ankle in the middle of the fourth quarter and did not return to the hardwood.
The Lady O's will compete against Wabaunsee for the title at 4 p.m. Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum on the campus of Kansas State University in Manhattan.
On the boys' side, the St. John-Hudson Tigers defeated Bishop Seabury Academy 52-51 in six overtimes — although the Warriors won possession of the ball at the tip-off and literally held the ball for three minutes and 45 seconds of several of the four-minute periods.
The Tigers will face the North Central Activities Association's Sacred Heart at 6:15 p.m. Saturday.
Keep up with the Lady O's tournament results on this website and read about the games in the March 16 edition of the I-R.

AS PREDICTED last week, the Palm Pre is to be launched before the Apple Worldwide Developers' Conference. It will be debut on Saturday, June 6, two days before Apple's expected announcement of iPhone updates. Priced from $200, the new Pre will be limited to the US market initially.
There has clearly been intense pressure on Palm to launch the phone before Apple's conference and the company hope to take advantage of the marketing opportunity created by the expiration of the first batch of two-year-old AT&T contracts. It remains to be seen how many iPhone users, most of whom have invested time and money into building up their application libraries, will be prepared to ditch Apple and try a new platform.
The majority of iPhone users who are also Mac owners will probably stay with the Apple OS for reasons of compatibility. But Windows users who have bought iPhones could well be tempted by Palm's innovative offering.
The choice of June 6, D-Day, for the introduction of the Pre could be significant and, probably, the coincidence has been overlooked by Palm in the haste to get in first before Apple. It will be interesting to see whether this will be a D-Day for Palm or for Apple.
The impending Pre launch is the first piece in the June phone-wars jigsaw. While we know that the iPhone 3.0 software will be announced on June 8, the appearance of the new updated iPhone hardware is less certain. There will certainly be pressure on Apple to bring forward the announcement. Meanwhile, no news from Microsoft and Zune.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner denied that there was any talk of a "quid pro quo" between senior State official Patrick Kennedy and the FBI regarding the declassification of at least one of Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's emails from her private server.
Toner called the allegation "insulting" on Monday as he took answers from the media.
Toner added that there was no discussion of a quid pro quo. He also said that there was no discussion of an exchange regarding classification procedures and FBI positions in U.S. embassies.
These statements contradicted information revealed Monday that a senior State Department official proposed a "quid pro quo" in an effort to convince the FBI to remove a classification from an email from Hillary Clinton's server. In exchange, the FBI was to be allowed to expand its operations abroad, the New York Post reported.
Documents revealed an unidentified individual who said that he was "pressured" to "change the classified email to unclassified."
"(Redacted) indicated he had been contacted by PATRICK KENNEDY, Undersecretary of State, who had asked his assistance in altering the email's classification in exchange for a 'quid pro quo,'" the 302 states. "(Redacted) advised that in exchange for marking the email unclassified, STATE would reciprocate by allowing the FBI to place more Agents in countries where they are presently forbidden."
Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz told Fox News the discrepancy was a "flashing red light of potential criminality." He and others have called for Kennedy's removal, as well as a misconduct investigation into the matter.
It's hard to disagree with him — unless you're a Democrat.
The sheer amount of corruption associated with Hillary Clinton and just this one scandal is staggering.
The State Department, the FBI, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and President Barack Obama are all in on this mess, and it only proves that the investigation into Clinton's emails was a sham before it ever started.

The stunning victory of Austerlitz. ended the Third Coalition against Napoleon, with the surrender of the Austrian Empire, the demise of the Holy Roman Empire and the creation of the Confederation of the Rhine, an amalgum of 16 minor states within the Holy Roman Empire that were supportive of France.
Despite this victory, Russia vowed to fight on in the Fourth Coalition, backed by Britain, the inveterate opponent of Napoleon. Prussia, the other major European power, nervously watched Napoleon create the Confederation of the Rhine in July 1806 as the balance of power in Germany swung towards France. Intrigues with Britain over the fate of Hanover (promised first to Britain, then to Prussia as a means of securing peace) formed the Casus Belli for Prussia, and she joined the Fourth Coalition in October 1806.
With typical rapidity, Napoleon launched an attack against Prussia in the autumn of 1806, culminating in the great French victories of Jena and Auerstädt.
The Prussian army collapsed in the ensuing pursuit, and Napoleon had achieved the seemingly impossible; destruction of the once vaunted army of Frederick the Great. In truth, the Prussian army had ossified, after the passing of their Master, and were no match for the French army at their peak.
After entering Berlin, Napoleon took time to visit the tomb of Frederick the Great declaiming "If he were alive we wouldn't be here today".
But despite the crushing victory, the Prussian king Frederick William III would not surrender to France, and drew the remnants of his army towards the Polish/Russian frontier. Napoleon, frustrated at this turn, created the Continental System to economically bring Britain to negotiations.
The struggle would still continue on, so France faced another campaign against Russia to impose his will.
The French army entered Poland, with the intention of subsuming the captured Prussian regions of Poland into what would eventually become a new political entity, The Duchy of Warsaw, allied with France. This lay in the future, once Russia was subdued.
By early December, La Grande Armée held Warsaw and the territory around the river Vistula. Russian troops were concentrating around Pultusk, and Napoleon launched a number of Corps across the rivers in the area in an attempt to force a major battle.
This lead to inconclusive actions at Tscharnovo, Pultusk and Golymin in late December, 1806.
The failure of these battles to destroy the Russian army, together with the deteriorating weather, forced La Grande Armée to concentrate around Warsaw for the winter.
He found time for extra diversions, in the form of Countess Marie Walewska who became his Mistress.
Russia did not enter winter quarters. By mid January, the new commander of the Russian forces, Count von Bennisgen ordered a series of advances, hoping to press the French towards the Vistula.
Napoleon issued plans to try to split the Russian advance into two halves near Allenstein, allowing the destruction of each. However, the Realm of Chance intervened and the French orders for advance fell into Russian hands.
Bennisgen ordered his troops to concentrate at Jenkendorf/Ionkovo. A brief action took place here on the 3rd February. Napoleon's dispersed forces were unable to pin down the Russians, who put up a stout defence of their position. They escaped at night, retreating towards Eylau.
'Until this very moment, the enemy has been hard pressed. It is now clear that he appreciates our manoeuvres, though only with some difficulty, and wishes to escape – a fact that makes me think he is informé
Napoleon's army had become strung out during the manoeuvres. On the evening of the 7th February, he had the Imperial Guard, IV Corps (Soult), VII Corps (Augereau), Cavalry Corps (Murat), amounting to 45,000 men and 200 guns. Two further Corps were nearby within a day's march. (III, Davout & VI, Ney), a possible extra 30,000 men.
After a brief rearguard action at Hoff, the Russians arrived at Eylau (present day Bagrationovsk) at the beginning of February.
Bennisgen had approximately 67,000 troops and 460 guns, with a further 9,000 Prussians under General L'Estocq nearby. Bennisgen ordered General Bagration, to cover the approaches to Eylau from the south with 15,000 men whilst the rest of the army formed up on the ridge to the north of the town.
Jean Baptiste Marbot, ADC to Marshal Augereau in 1807 left the following record of a conversation between Napoleon to Augereau, regarding the combat on the 7th February.
'The Marshal [Augereau] mounted the plateau to find the Emperor already there, and I heard Napoleon say to Augereau: "Some of them want me to storm Eylau this evening; but I do not like night fighting, and besides, I do not wish to push my entire too far forward before Davout has come up with the right wing and Ney with the left'.
Despite this, the French did press on into Eylau, with a skirmish leading to a full battle between Soult's corps and the Russian rearguard centred on Ziegelhoff, which went on from 2pm until midnight.
Soult's corps approached Eylau and were met with a fearful fire from the Russian infantry. The French "was dispersed by the volley of grapeshot and almost slaughtered and pressed back after that horrible bloodshed."
"Both artilleries fired on the streets at a distance of several metres…the bullets poured as hail, and cannonballs pierced our infantry, that crowded in the streets…"
Eylau eventually fell to the French on an extremely cold night. The troops of both sides made shelter as best they could and prepared for the next day's ordeal.
'When you have resolved to fight a battle, collect your own force. Dispense with nothing. A single battalion sometimes decides the day'.
Maxims of Napoleon, XXIX
Napoleon's knew his army was outnumbered on the morning of the 8th February. He also knew that the III Corps (Davout) & VI Corps (Ney), another 30,000 men in total were likely to appear that day and factored them into his intitial battleplan.
This double envelopment would depend upon IV Corps (Soult) being able to pin down the Russians, whilst the flanks attacks from the south III Corps (Davout), and north VI Corps (Ney) would draw Russian reserves away, before la masse de décision from VII Corps (Augereau), Cavalry Corps (Murat) delivered the final blow. Early arrival of III and VI Corps was therefore essential if Napoleon was going to overcome the intial odds of 2:3 in favour of Bennisgen's Russians.
The battle was fought in heavy snowstorms, hampering visibility throughout the day, restricting the troops ability to see unfolding events.
The battle began with an artillery exchange.
About 8:30am, Soult and Lasalle advanced to engage the Russians and begin the pinning attack.
General Tutchkov led his Russians forward against Soult's men
Meanwhile from the south on the French right flank, Marshal Davout appeared with the first division of III Corps, led by Friant.
Tutchkov's men began to drive Soult back towards his starting position, with Lewal's division under pressure on Windmill Hill, on the French left wing.
Meanwhile, the Russians performed a cavalry attack on Davout's men on the French right wing in order to pin them down.
Napoleon ordered Augereau and his division to attack the Russian left wing to relieve the pressure on the French flanks.
In the thick snow of the blizzard, VII Corps got lost and under the sway of the realm of chance emerged directly before the guns of the Russian main artillery.
"There are on the field of battle, circumstances when one must sacrifice some troops in order to preserve the great majority and ensure victory. General Corbineau, the Emperor's aide-de-camp, was killed by a cannon shot near to us while bringing to Marshal Augereau the order to advance. The marshal passed between Eylau and Rothenen and led his two divisions boldly against the enemy centre, and already the 14th Line regiment who made up our advance guard had seized the position which the Emperor had ordered to be taken and held at all costs, when the guns which formed a semi-circle about Augereau hurled out a storm of ball and grape-shot of hitherto unprecedented ferocity. In an instant, our two divisions were pulverised under this rain of iron!
"Augereau's Corps was almost entirely destroyed. Out of fifteen thousand combatants under arms at the beginning of the action, there remained by evening only three thousand, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Massy: the Marshal, all the Generals and all the Colonels had been either killed or wounded."
General Desjardins was killed and General Heudelet gravely wounded; however, they stood firm until the corps having been almost entirely destroyed, the remnants were compelled to retire to the cemetery of Eylau, with the exception of the 14th, who almost entirely surrounded by the enemy, remained on the little hill which they had occupied. The situation was made even worse by a gale of wind which blew a heavy snowfall into our faces, and reduced visibility to about fifteen paces, so that several French batteries opened fire on us, as well as the Russians. Marshal Augereau was wounded by a bullet."
"I can see no way of saving the regiment. Return to the Emperor and give him the farewells of the 14e Régiment de Ligne which has faithfully carried out his orders, and take him the Eagle he gave which we can no longer defend; it would be too terrible to see it fall into enemy hands during our last moments."
The regiment was overwhelmed, the Eagle lost,
and Marbot was wounded, but survived the battle.
The Russians swept forward, reaching Eylau and a fight broke out around the cemetery, later made famous in Victor Hugo's poem.
The Russians continued their advance into Eylau, and almost captured Napoleon's command post, only being saved by the self sacrifice of his personal escort.
Two battalions of the Imperial Guard arrived to retake the town and stabilise the situation.
'In war the General alone can judge of certain arrangements. It depends on him alone to conquer diffiulties by his own superior talents and resolution.'
Maxims of Napoleon, LXIV
The French position was precarious, with the initial battleplan of double envelopment overtaken by events. One part of the masse de décision (VII Corps) has been bloodily repulsed. That only left the Imperial Guard or the Cavalry Corps under Murat. Napoleon ordered the cavalry into position in the French centre.
Marshal Murat formed the cavalry Corps up, some 10,500 troopers, comprising Cuirassiers, Dragoons and Chasseurs.
The charge swept into the Russians, scattering all before them.
To cover the retirement of Murat's cavalry, Napoleon ordered the cavalry of the Imperial Guard forward in another charge.
Murat's cavalry charge, arguably one of the most successful in history, swung the odds back towards the French, for the loss of some 10% of Murat's Corps.
The French received reinforcements as Davout's III Corps had finally arrived at the south.
About the same time, General L'Estocq and his Prussians were arriving at the Northern edge of the battlefield, having successfully fought rearguard actions against Ney's VI Corps pursuing them.
Napoleon ordered Davout's III Corps to attack the Russian left flank.
The odds had swung towards the French. The Russian line, slowly bending back upon itself from these attacks was close to breaking. At this critical juncture, General L'Estocq's Prussians began attacking Davout's III Corps exposed flank.
The odds began to swing back again to the Russians and Prussians.
The allied force slowly pushed Davout's III Corps back towards their starting position. As daylight failed and night drew on, VI Corps under Ney finally arrived. They immediately attacked towards the village of Schloditten.
Night eventually fell across the battlefield.
"The uncertainty about the outcome of the day was so great that both sides ordered a retreat during the hours of darkness. Marshal Davout, who spent the night with the most advanced troops, confided to someone who shortly after told me that he was on the very point of beginning his retrograde movement when an officer arrived from the picquets to tell him that loud noises were emanating from the enemy camp…Putting his ear to the ground he recognized the distant sounds of cavalry and guns on the move, and as the noise was receding…He no longer doubted the enemy was in full retreat.
ED Pasquier
Napoleon was in possession of the field of battle and the victor by the terms of warfare of the period, but at the cost of enormous casualties to both sides.
The French army was in no position to pursue the retreating Allied force. The next day, Napoleon and his Marshals surveyed the horrors of the battlefield., captured in the painting by Antoine-Jean Gros.
Given the earlier sweeping victories in the Prussian campaign, the extent of losses were disguised. Napoleon claimed that the French had only 7,700 casualties in the battle, which was clearly propaganda.
"Spread the following reports in an unofficial manner. They are however true…The Russian army is greatly weakened – that the Russian army demand peace…"
"The Emperor was exceedingly anxious that everyone should view that event as he himself viewed it".
The phrase "mentir comme un bulletin" (to lie like a bulletin) was never more true.
The Battle of Eylau was commemorated in Victor Hugo's poem.
The extent of the battlefield losses forced both sides into winter quarters. Ahead lay the spring campaign of1807, culminating in another bloody day; the Battle of Friedland.

Javel-ein is a 2D platformer in which players have only one javelin to use for the entire adventure. Once you've thrown your javelin to kill an enemy, you'll have to retrieve it before you can use it again. Your quest involves gathering lost treasures like a sceptre and crown from each of the four chapters, where there are a total of sixty levels to play through.
Certain levels also have bonus collectibles to pick up, though reaching them will require some skill and persistence because they're usually hidden in the furthest corners of any room. There are twelve fabled jewels to be found in every chapter. Originally created for the Ludum Dare 28 competition, positive response from the community spurred Daniel Linssen to produce a new version that includes more stages, multiple boss fights, and several other welcome additions.
Javel-ein is available to download now from Daniel's site.

The Apollo 70-640 series bronze two-piece three-port diverting ball valve has a lever handle and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on all three ends. The body of this valve is made of bronze for higher strength and corrosion resistance than brass, and the ball and stem are made of stainless steel 316 for greater corrosion resistance than standard steel. This three-port valve has a ball with an L-port flow pattern to allow fluids to flow from the inlet to one of the two outlets in an L-shaped path; a quarter turn of the lever switches the flow between the two outlet ports. It has a zinc-plated steel lever handle with a vinyl sleeve for changing the direction of the flow, and it is standard (or regular) port for reduced valve size and cost. Reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (RPTFE) seats and multifill polytetrafluoroethylene (MPTFE) stem packing reduce the possibility of leakage, and the valve has NPT threads for creating tighter seals than straight threads. The maximum pressure rating is 400 pounds per square inch (gauge) (psig) for water, oil, and gas (WOG), and the temperature range is -20 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. This ball valve is for use in water lines, processing plants, and agricultural applications and meets standard MSS SP-110 for quality assurance.
Ball valves use a spherical disc to control the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses. Flow is allowed when the hole that pierces the ball-shaped disc is in line with the inlet and outlet of the valve. Flow is blocked when the ball is horizontally swiveled 90 degrees, so that the hole of the ball is perpendicular to the opening of the valve. Ball valves can be referred to as full port or reduced port (also known as regular or standard port) depending on the inner diameter of the valve. A ball valve is full port if the hole of the ball is the same size as the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline (resulting in lower friction) and is reduced port if the hole of the valve is one pipe size smaller than the pipe, resulting in less flow through the valve than through the shaft of the pipe. Ball valves may have a handle or lever that aligns with the ball's position (open or closed) for manual operation. They are primarily used in air, gas, liquid, and steam applications.
Apollo manufactures ball, mixing, and relief valves, actuators, water gauges, marine fittings, heating and plumbing products, and backflow prevention devices. The company, founded in 1928 and headquartered in Matthews, NC, meets International Organization for Standardization ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and makes products that meet ISO and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards.

The 1ha site is located on Princes Highway, Rockdale approximately 10 mins drive south west from Sydney Airport, 30 mins from the CBD and is 400m from the Rockdale Train Station. The site is bounded to the east by the Princes Highway, to the north by Subway Road (a minor local road), a drainage channel to the south and an area of 3 storey walk up apartment buildings to the west. The site is also on the southern edge of the Local Government Area (LGA)'s and forms part of Rockdale's southern gateway. The site is currently used as a car dealership and service centre for Stewart Toyota and has been in operation for many years. The site is criss-crossed by a number of major water and sewerage easements that create a series of impediments and design challenges for the configuration built form, basement construction and vehicular access. Due to the proximity to the airport there is a vertical limitation to future buildings in the form of the Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) which means that buildings need to be contained within a specific Australian Height Datum (RL 52.34 AHD) limiting the height of buildings on the site.
Our architectural brief was to create an optimal residential development on the site that integrated a substantial public open space on site with through-site connections in both north-south and east-west directions and create a benchmark for apartment and environmental design and innovation. With the site's longest street frontage to the north the opportunity was afforded to create a central park space facing due north and completely open to Subway Road and then locate buildings around that central park space to create a sense of place and community. This strategy allows the central park to be protected from southerly winds and traffic from the Princes Highway. The residential entries and one retail shop are located mid-way along the central park space. We have located a minor amount of retail/ showroom space on the Princes Highway/Subway Road corner only so not to detract from the commercial viability of the main Rockdale Town Centre retail strategy being pursued by Council.
The architectural concept involves 3 similar shaped buildings of differing sizes to create a "family of forms" with the primary two buildings being located east and west of the central park space and the minor third building being located further west. Each of the two primary buildings have been connected with a bridge link style structure over a number of the lower levels to create an cradling or podium effect around the south part of the central park space. The east and west buildings have atriums and these interior spaces are punctuated with corridors or natural light and ventilation. These design strategies ensure a high level of environmental performance for the buildings but the segmented floor plans allow each building to be broken down into 5 different elements which provide the opportunity to express a varied architectural character and break down the apparent scale, bulk and mass of the development.

Handbook of Human Resource Management in Emerging Markets
Edited by Frank Horwitz and Pawan Budhwar
Chapter 13: Compensation and total rewards: trends in emerging markets
Jaime Bonache and Carmen Paz-Aparicio
Expatriate remuneration has traditionally been the focus of the literature on international compensation (Lowe, Milliman, De Cieri and Dowling, 2002). There is no doubt that the design of an expatriate's compensation package is of the utmost importance in multinational corporations (MNCs) directly investing in emerging markets, given the visibility of these employees, their cost, and their strategic role in such enterprises (for a recent review of this topic, see Bonache and Stirpe, 2012). Nevertheless, this does not mean the subject in any way exhausts the field of international compensation for those corporations. Quite the contrary, in fact, as the bulk of compensation decisions and costs involve local or domestic personnel. The way of remunerating domestic personnel from emerging markets is a strategic decision for numerous reasons, including its impact on costs (Gerhart, Rynes and Fulmer, 2009), its influence on staff engagement and motivation (Prendergast, 1999) and its ability to attract and retain more highly skilled employees (Lazear, 1986). The compensation of domestic personnel from emerging markets (as opposed to expatriates) is therefore not only an important subject but also one that has been underexplored. Even when demarcated in this manner, the subject is vast, given the large number of areas that may fall within the category of 'Compensation and Total Rewards' for domestic personnel. This chapter will focus on the examination of a limited number of areas, specifically: issues related to monetary remuneration, individual pay for performance (IPFP), group incentives, and pay disparity.

ASUS ROG GTX 1080 Ti Poseidon Platinum Review
Up Close
Published: 1st June 2017 | Source: ASUS | Price: £899 |
Up Close
Starting, as is so often the case, with the famous red box with silver lettering so characteristic of the Republic of Gamers brand. It is the antithesis of the gaudy Strix design, although we like both of them equally. As for the card itself it is another step up from the Poseidon coolers of old. Whereas the earlier Poseidons had two slot width coolers, the new DirectCU revision on the Poseidon Platinum is now two and a half slots wide, which gives a much greater area for the air-cooling part to work its magic. The fans are capable of going all the way down to off, perfect for if you choose to use the G1/4 water-cooling connectors to plug the Poseidon into your loop. Another area that is quickly becoming a regular feature on ASUS graphics cards are the in-built connectors for system fans and AURA RGB lighting strips. A good way of helping you harmonise your system without forcing you to purchase solely ASUS components.
We don't often mention build quality in our photographs page, but when the card is this heavy and the metal employed is this thick it is nearly impossible not to do so. As you can see from our 5th and 6th pictures the heatsink on the Poseidon is thick enough to double as armour plating on a tank. Lastly at the right hand edge there is a mirrored, illuminated ROG logo, for all your showing off needs.

Seems to perform very well compared to the older models, but I'm not sold on the Hybrid thing anymore.
Asus have been doing this for a few generations now and if it wasn't selling it would be on the scrap heap.Quote
It looks like you only test Air and Water separately.
I would have like to see how much extra °C it would bring when the Water cooler is also Air cooled.
A bit disappointed about the test.Quote

London Mayor teams up with Thames on tap water
Ken Livingstone has joined forces with Thames Water to launch a new campaign to persuade pubs, clubs, restaurants and hotels to offer their customers tap water rather than bottled mineral water as first choice.
The London on Tap campaign seeks to highlight that tap water is just as good and almost indistinguishable in terms of taste.
The campaign is sponsored by Green Party London Assembly Member Jenny Jones and backed by Environment Minister Phil Woolas.
Its aims are to:
The centrepiece of the campaign will be a competition, open to all London based designers, to design an iconic carafe made from recycled glass to be used in bars, restaurants and hotels across London to serve tap water to customers.
The competition will kick off in May this year, with the challenge to come up with a design that matches good looks with environmental sustainability.
Mr Livingstone said: "My message is very simple: don't be embarrassed to ask for tap water when you eat out. You will save money and help save the planet.
"By drinking less bottled water, we can cut the climate change carbon emissions coming from its production and transportation, and cut the problem of disposing of used bottles.
"Choosing tap water is cheaper and a perfectly acceptable alternative to bottled water, and it will help to protect the environment.
"I have joined forces with Thames Water on this campaign to help people feel more confident in asking for tap water rather than bottled water in our restaurants and cafes, and to encourage businesses make it easier for their customers to make that choice."

Happy Monday!
Good morning, today l have a layout to share using papers from Maya Design. I really like this line and they go well with the smoky background of my photo.
For once l didn't add any texture in the form of stencilling, paste etc, just some paper layering. I have added colour to the top of my ribbon with a gelato and inked my paper edges
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

I am itching to play more with the silver clay. Not just making charms and beads and buttons but actually creating with the ones that are already made! Sweet little charms sit patiently in their cozy wooden box waiting to see the light of day. Patience my precious...
Did you notice the little crack in the heart? At first I was sad about it. All that work and then... POP! A little crack and a nice reminder to slow down and be patient. I rather like the little crack now. This piece knows me. The universe must too... patience.

Another net neutrality bill?
Washington recently passed a bill that will neutralize net neutrality repeal. Oregon is doing the same thing, and Connecticut may follow suit. The House of Representatives has put forward an insignificant bill, and now it's time for Senate to act.
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy recommended an associated version of the Open Internet Preservation Act. This capably reproduces the House resolution presented by Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn. Yes, it defends net neutrality but not totally and some conditions that would make it challenging to deal with other offenses.
Technically, the regulation would prohibit internet providers from barring and throttling contents. However, it will allow paid prioritization also known as vertical prioritization. It is the upgrade of data transfer charge for dominant providers in return for payment. It could create "fast lanes" for large media sites as well as service providers like Facebook, Netflix, and Google.
ISPs could also apparently establish tangible "slow lanes" for contending services through the provision of standard speeds except for paying extra for faster connections. The measure would also curtail the FCC's power to face other violations and prohibit states from legislating their own net neutrality bills. The petition is more likely about restricting regulation instead of securing free access and competition.
Kennedy's proposed bill is not anticipated to advance in the Senate just like Blackburn's who hasn't performed much in the House. But then again, his application emerges a few days after senators presented a Congressional Review Act. This ordinance will reverse the communication agency's decision to eradicate net neutrality.
Kennedy purportedly considers support for the CRA. However, his motion opposes it. It is not an entirely overwhelming attempt and is predominantly figurative. His proposal would come across on the telecom industry's desire for the Congress to straighten out the issue.
Without net neutrality rules, ISPs will have the opportunity to control the content that users can directly gain access to without their permissions. It is necessary to maintain net neutrality because it is the internet's guiding principle. Thus, it preserves our right to connect online with others freely. It means an internet that gives authority and offers refuge to free speech.
Net neutrality advocates are concerned that if rules like the bill that Kennedy has proposed becomes law net neutrality rules will be forever taken over with unsteadier protections. He introduced his proposal on Wednesday that would impede telecom companies like Comcast and Verizon from jamming or suppressing web content.

Finally, your first paycheck has arrived. You drool in anticipation as you rip open the envelope, thrilled beyond belief to be earning $6.50 an hour working as Chief Ball Pit Manager in the PlayPlace over at McDonald's. It doesn't provide a life of luxury, but the confused sobs you hear as you rescue children from a suffocating, muffled death really makes it all worth it.
You prance into the bank and grab one of those pens that are attached to the counter with a chain. Resisting the urge to swing it around your head like a lasso and take out everyone standing in line behind you, you calmly bring it to the back of your check and begin to sign your name. Unsurprisingly, however, this pen has been dried up since the Reagan administration. You'll have to use your own.
You reach into your pocket and procure a writing utensil, gleaming with delight, almost as excited to be participating in fiscal responsibility as you are. You eagerly start to John Hancock that sucker, then stop for a second. Should you use cursive? Or calligraphy? Perhaps a dash of hieroglyphics? While pondering this conundrum, you reflexively put the ticking time bomb into your mouth, and it's all over from there.
Ink everywhere. Your hand. Your clothes. Your face. Your mouth. Some of it has drifted up into your hair. Frenzied handprints begin to dot the bank counter, illustrating for posterity the journey of a person desperately searching for some form of paper towel or other wiping device. Your face and mouth now resemble that of a swamp monster, grunting and shrieking incomprehensibly, perhaps partaking in some sort of mating call. And your clothes are ruined forever, unless of course you choose to wear them for the purposes of impromptu Rorshach tests.
So if you want to suck at life, explode a pen. You may swallow more ink than recommended, but Poison Control assures you that there will be minimal permanent damage. Unless you value your brain cells, which, let's face it, there weren't too many of to begin with.
