Mars in Sagittarius: may your aim be steady and true
Has anyone else been feeling the lighter, more outward going energy of Mars in Sagittarius? What a relief after his long stay in intensely introverted Scorpio! Mars entered the sign of the archer on 3 August, after shifting out of its retrograde cycle on 30 June. After traveling at a snail's pace throughout July, Mars is finally picking up speed and we're probably all feeling a lot more energetic and motivated.
However this dynamic energy won't last for long as Mars conjuncts Saturn on 24 August. This transit will last from 17 to 31 August and is likely to feel a little like walking through glue. Mars in Sagittarius wants to get things moving but Saturn will be putting on the brakes. Use this time to assess your actions with the practical, objective wisdom of Saturn and don't be discouraged. The motivation you felt at the beginning of the month will return once this transit has passed.
This Mars in Sagittarius transit coincides with Virgo season which may have a further dampening affect on your enthusiasm. The Sun moves into Virgo on 23 August, joining Mercury, Venus and Jupiter and squaring Mars in Sagittarius. Although only the Sun and Venus actually square Mars exactly, the nature of the signs are inharmonious. Beware of the Virgoan tendency to criticise and nit-pick. Be gentle with yourself and nurture your projects into being.
The good news is you'll probably be feeling a lot more strategic and careful in your approach after Mars conjuncts Saturn. The problem with Mars in Sagittarius is that it tends to be a bit scattered, aiming its arrows willy-nilly and having a hard time deciding where to focus its attention. The conjunction with Saturn will bring clarity around objectives and a more determined, objective-orientated approach.
How Mars in Sagittarius will affect you
Mars in Sagittarius will resonate most strongly for those who have Mars placed in Sagittarius or the 9th House natally. You may also feel it if you have strong natal aspects between Mars and Jupiter. Those with planets or points in Sagittarius will feel this energy kick in as Mars transits these natal placements. The area of your life that will be most affected depends on which house Mars is transiting through in your chart.
Meanwhile, in another part of the cosmos…
Venus is moving into opposition with Neptune in Pisces, forming a t-square with Saturn in Sagittarius, so we may have to face some harsh realities about our relationships in the coming week, especially where we've been in denial about our own or another person's truth. If you've been wearing the rosy coloured glasses, refusing to acknowledge issues that need addressing, this transit may bring disappointment, but it will be worth to see the situation as it really is.
This t-square is likely to be activated as the Moon moves over Saturn on Friday 12 August, even though Venus is still not exactly aligned yet. There may be a feeling of sadness, a sense of something not quite right, that will become clearer over the coming days. Venus squares Saturn on 13 August, just as Saturn turns direct, and opposes Neptune two days later.
Fortunately the Sun will trine Uranus on 17 August helping us channel our disappointment into positive change and growth, particularly in the areas of life represented by the houses the Sun and Uranus are transiting in your natal chart. With both the Sun and Uranus in fire signs this is a vibrant, positive energy that works well with the enthusiasm of Mars in Sagittarius.

Working with Mars in Sagittarius
Are you feeling a sudden urge to get involved in multiple new projects? Do you suspect you may already have bitten off more than you can chew? With Mars in Sagittarius we can be prone to overdoing things and spreading ourselves too thin, giving up when it all gets a bit too much. How have you been experiencing this energy? Please share your thoughts below.

APP breaches its commitment to transparency, local CSO concludes
JAKARTA (foresthints.news) - Asia Pulp and Paper's plan to ramp up the annual production capacity of its new OKI mill from 2 million to 2.8 million tons constitutes a violation of the company's commitment to transparency in implementing its forest conservation policy, according to a local civil society organization in South Sumatra, the province in which the new mill will begin operating in the last few months of 2016."This figure of 2.8 million tons per year is a new figure, but we really believe that this is something APP has planned for a long time. So, for us, APP has breached its commitment to transparency and it means that the company isn't really interested in living up to its commitments," Aidil Fitri, Executive Director of Hutan Kita Institute, told foresthints.news on last Monday (Mar 14) in Jakarta.Aidil, the former executive director of South Sumatra's Friends of the Earth Indonesia, stressed that APP should have explained to the public its plan to increase the annual production capacity of the OKI mill from the outset.He was also quick to point out the ramifications of the APP production increase."There is a big difference between 2 million and 2.8 million tons and it means APP will require a lot of extra fiber supply. The big question for us is how they are going to fulfill this additional fiber supply," he said.He underlined that even with a production capacity of just 2 million tons per year, there were deep concerns that the OKI mill would not be supplied with enough fiber that is not derived from natural forests, let alone with a raised annual production capacity of 2.8 million tons.Aidil also brought up the matter of APP's burned acacia plantation last year and the impact this would have had on the sufficient availability of fiber from its pulpwood plantations."We were already worried about their previous plan, because last year, for example, more than 80,000 hectares of their planted acacia blocks were burned which definitely would have significantly affected their fiber supply," he explained.For its part, the pulp and paper giant has stated that its plan to boost the mill's annual production capacity was still in process and had not yet got the go ahead. APP also reaffirmed its commitment to implementing its zero deforestation policy, which would encompass the OKI mill operating at an annual production capacity of up to 2.8 million tons.Other organizations have also stepped in to register their concerns. WWF, for example, had already declared its misgivings as to whether APP had enough plantation fiber to feed the OKI mill at the initial production level, and these have only intensified since the announcement of the additional annual production capacity.Greenpeace took the opportunity to remind APP of its commitment to implementing its forest conservation policy notwithstanding its increased production capacity plan. Meanwhile, Greenomics Indonesia shed some light on another issue facing APP, revealing that pulpwood plantation concessions linked to the company measuring nearly 400 thousand hectares - more than 5 times the size of Singapore - have had their licenses suspended by the Indonesian government in the wake of last year's massive peat fires on these concessions.

Age Of Heroes Age Of Heroes Chronicles Book 9 Chapter 284
Volume 9: Martial Arts Meet Chapter 284 Imaginary Scape 1
Arial has created Dragon Roar, Dragon Palm, Imposing Presence and the Heaven Punishment Style but all martial art is from the same root.
Levitia. That is his opinion of the martial arts in the Human Continent. All martial arts of the Human Continent traces its existence to Levitia
Arial has decided from now on, he will only use his own technique, maybe creating a school of martial art by himself instead of using the swordsmanship he learns in the library.
It seems Levitia Internal Cultivation technique has helped him to gain some insight in the inner working of technique.
The Heaven Punishment Style is the combination of all the swordsmanship technique he could remember when he is in the library, a fusion of all this technique amalgamated into one style.
Of course, right now he is only able to merge three technique of swordsmanship in the Style.
The three technique Arial have managed to fuse is the Flying Blade technique a technique that enables Arial blade to fly and dances in the air, the Blinding Dance technique a technique where Arial separated into ten images parrying weapon and executing fast strikes, and with a stabbing motion, a high level swordsmanship
And the other one is the Slicing Water technique, a technique aimed to slice enemy head, an offensive, powerful thrusting method of attacking.
Arial want to fuse two more sword technique to his Heaven Punishment style.
He wanted to fuse the Sweeping Star technique, a technique imbuing weapons with internal energy to attack in a sweeping motions, and Light Strike, a fast stabbing attack.
Right now the technique Arial mostly used is this. Wind God technique, an alleviating technique, a lightness skill Arial had always uses in his battle
Swift like the wind and unpredictable footwork and it is very useful in dodging and attacking at the same time.
Then there is also Lion Bite, a hand technique.
It is a technique to take enemies weapon.
And not to forget, there is Dragon Regret, a palm attack that released concentrated internal energy as it throws enemies far away and may even broke bones and kill with one strike.
Arial need to polish it even more.
The Internal Energy Cultivation Technique of Levitia that improve internal energy by leaps and bounds is what supported all of his martial arts techniques
Arial had learned many martial arts techniques and as such, it would not be exaggerated to say, that he had a very solid foundation of technique but not its implementation as a whole.
He also learned the Light Healing Finger Technique used primarily to heal internal energy injury, Snake Slither the Ground technique a technique that use internal energy to be channel to the ankle for swift sidestepping and to give time for better positioning
Then there is Divine Sword Finger Technique, a purer version of Sword Finger technique. It is one of the temple of Linzi technique that Arial got from the Abbot.
This is why it is hard for Arial to refuse the Abbot request
There is also Fairy Steps another lightness technique. The user will disappear from his or her enemies' vision for a while when using it due to the fast movement.
Feet are channeled by internal energy constantly when using this technique.
Then there is Sword Finger Technique, a technique that involves creating invisible sword, and Palm of Wrath, a palm technique, releasing internal energy wave hurting or maybe killing any weak enemies.
Palm of Wrath is fused with Dragon Palm and the other sword finger technique and any sword technique will be into the Heaven Punishment Style.
There is so many other techniques he learns but this is the one he always uses when he is in battle. But he always felt that learning so many techniques, does it make you strong?
WRONG! This is what he believes after his many battles and after looking at everybody else.
That such method of power is wrong.
Levitia is reputed to be the greatest master of martial arts during the Age of Gods but even the Great Savior does not have that many techniques.
Arial think to himself why do he have to learn so many technique and style? Why not fuse all of those technique into a greater level of technique?
An All Encompassing style. One style. One technique. A unifying theory of every single martial art under the heavens.
Such thought about an all-encompassing style might be laughed about in the martial art world if anyone ever heard it but Arial is confident that he could create it with the Levitia Internal energy technique as the base foundation of this style.
More is not always better. He believes in this conviction. Sometimes little is better. Sometimes little is greater.
He decided this a long time ago when he got the internal energy technique from the Abbot.
At that time, he had learned a new way of looking into martial arts with the Abbot himself as his main inspiration.
The Abbot did not need many technique and only needed that ultimate technique of Divine Sword Finger, the technique of the Abbot of Linzi.
With one finger, it could cut apart all kinds of martial arts technique with one point.
Palm technique that he had learned will all be fused in the Dragon Palm technique and any Aura or energy reinforcing technique will be fused in the Imposing Presence and Dragon Roar.
The reason why Arial is so proficient in fusing techniques of martial arts is not because he is some master or genius in martial arts but because the method of Levitia technique which is nothing, encompasses everything.
Like a blank slate or a blank paper, it teaches internal cultivation and some technique but the difference is that in Levitia Internal technique, like a blank paper you can write anything to it.
Like a blank book with a guide in writing.
Arial take a deep breath and focused his mind. He is trying to improve his Imposing Presence technique.
This technique is to release killing intent outward but the power that it brings is in the scale of making people faint and making people feel fear right in their heart.
Imposing Presence if Arial ever master it, will also help him from external and internal attack taking it head on, utilizing completely the massive internal energy Arial had in his body.
It will be like the Iron Body technique of Linzi temple, making his body sturdy as steel.

How Does CoolSculpting Work?

How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting is a fat freezing procedure that produces effects similar to those of plastic surgery—but without needing to go under the knife. It might sound too good to be true, but it really works! Here's how.
Eliminating Fat
It's important to remember that fat reduction is not the same as weight loss. While it might appear to have similar effects, they are very different. When you loose weight, your fat cells simply shrink in size, but there are the same amount of them. With fat reduction, however, the actual amount of fat cells is reduced. You literally have fewer cells.
This makes CoolSculpting less about the number on the scale, and more about how you look and feel in your body. It doesn't matter if you weigh less, because you will actually be thinner. And that fat is gone for good, because cells that no longer exist can't get bigger!
It's Freezing!
But how does the technology work? Basically, the CoolSculpting process involves gradually and gently cooling fat cells that exist under the skin. As they freeze, these cells crystallize and then die. As your body processes fat, it then eliminates these dead cells, leaving your body the way you want. Because of this, it is a great way to get rid of stubborn fat after trying through diet and exercise.
Anyone Can Do It
The process is very easy and quick. A device is placed on the area to be treated, and as it's cooling the cells, you can do whatever you want: read, sleep, work from your computer, play CandyCrush on your phone! It's fast, and simple, and you can return to your daily activities immediately.
CoolSculpting is the only fat-blasting technique that doesn't require you to go under the knife. This makes it much safer than any other procedure, and it requires literally no down time. As mentioned above, you can even work during the freezing process!
Best of all, results are noticeable. You might feel some pain during the process, and the results can take from 3 weeks to 2 months to really appear, but they will come, and they will make you feel so good.

Remember summer afternoons spent with a Hanes T-shirt, a pack of rubber bands, and some buckets filled with Rit dye? You'd tie a couple of random knots, dunk the shirt in a bucket, and voila: Your very own tie-dyed T-shirt.
Think of shibori—an ancient form of wrapping, binding, and hand-dyeing fabric—as tie-dye for grown-ups. Big-deal designers like Stella McCartney, Band of Outsiders, and Michael Kors have recently sent shibori-inspired patterns down their catwalks, and high-street stores like Madewell, Anthropologie, and Free People are all offering up intricately patterned, indigo hued pieces too. Shibori is definitely having a moment.
"Shibori gives fabric a vibrant liveliness that other prints can't offer," explains Kalen Kaminski, who along with pal Astrid Chastka, founded shibori-based clothing label Upstate four years ago. "There are always inconsistencies with shibori that must be embraced."
With that in mind, I asked Kaminski and Chastka to walk me through my very own shibori DIY.
What we used:
—silk caftan (use any white cotton or silk item you like, but be sure to choose 100 percent natural fibers as those absorb dyes best)
—bendable tube (or any cylindrical item—a branch, wood dowel—you don't mind getting dye on)
—string (rubber bands work too!)
—two-gallon bucket
—indigo dye, salt, soda ash, synthropol (try a handy indigo dye kit, priced from $9 to $14, or classic Rit dye.)
What we did:
1. Fold
Fold the fabric in an accordion lengthwise, like you're making a fan. We folded ours about four times. Since we were going for the "Arashi" technique, which literally means storm in Japanese, we werent' trying to be too careful with our folds. "Every crinkle and fold in the binding process registers as a dyed texture, and these are graphic but still organic," Chastka says.
2. Wrap
Lay the fabric on a flat surface and place the tube across it lengthwise so that you can wrap the fabric completely around it. Use a clamp at the top to hold the fabric tightly in place.
3. Scrunch
Starting near the clamp, scrunch the fabric together. You want to push it so it looks like a long hair scrunchie and is about one-third of its starting length. Use a clamp at the bottom to secure it.
4. Tie
Tightly wrap your scrunched-up bundle with string to further secure it. The tighter you wrap, the better: It'll protect the fabric from the dye and you'll end up with more white areas.
5. Dye
Mix your dye bath in the bucket and dunk your masterpiece in. We let ours sit for a few hours to fully absorb. (Follow the directions on your dye packet.)
6. Rinse
Carefully cut the string, remove the clamps, and rinse your fabric in cold water. We soaked ours in a bucket of synthropol to set the dye, then we washed it in a gentle cycle in a washing machine. (Follow the directions on your dye packet.)
7. Enjoy!
Now you've got one heck of a cool shibori item. And it's one-of-kind! "The beauty of shibori is how versatile it is," Kaminski explains. "Each piece is adaptable from day to night, from vacation to office."

This songs pays fast and lose with historical fact. Wade did not build the king a road; although the roads bear his name, he died before construction began. James Watt did not build the first steam engine; his design was based on that of Thomas Newcomen. The railway train was not the "product of a Scottish brain"; George Stephenson, widely regarded as the founder of the modern railway, was English. Beeching was a grammar school boy and therefore not, as suggested by the song, likely to benefit from the practice of favouritism regarded as operating among pupils of British public schools.
The use of "Uncle Mac" to refer to Harold MacMillan was probably influenced by the popularity of "Uncle Mac" (Derek McCulloch) who presented programs for children that were broadcast by the BBC [ ref https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_McCulloch]. Harold MacMillan was widely referred to as "Super-Mac" following his depiction as "superman" in a cartoon published in 1958.
The Fife East Coast Railway closed to passengers in 1965 and goods traffic in 1966 [Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fife_Coast_Railway] and the Leavenmouth rail link closed to passengers in 1969. [ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenmouth_rail_link]
pukka = sure, certain, reliable; genuine, bona fide, correct. Hence more generally: real, not sham; (of information) factually correct; (of persons) authentic, not pretended; proper or correct in behaviour, socially acceptable [OED]
Quack = A person who doshonestly claims to have medical or surgicl skill, or who advertises false or fake remedies; a medical imposter. In extended use: any person who dishonestly calims to have a special knowledge or skill in any field [oed]
That a song expressing such strong pro-Scots sentiments was collected in Worksop suggest that the singer's family may have been among those coal mining families who, during the 1960s and 1970s, moved from Scotland to Nottinghamshire to work in the pits. The surname Kirk has two areas of high incidence one being centered on Dumfries in south west Scotland and the other running from the Nottingham area to the area around Lincoln including Worksop where Mrs Kirk lived.

Trouble - Plastic Green Head
Trouble is an American doom metal band noted as one of the pioneers of their genre, alongside bands such as Candlemass and Saint Vitus. Trouble's music lies with a traditional doom metal style, although their later albums showcase a more stoner-metal oriented style.The band could best be described as combining the riffs and tempos of Black Sabbath with the twin guitar attack of Judas Priest.
Trouble disbanded in 1996, but reformed six years later to release its seventh studio album on Escapi Music.
The nucleus of the band have been vocalist Eric Wagner (replaced as of late by Kory Clarke, ex Warrior Soul), guitarists Rick Wartell and Bruce Franklin, and drummer Jeff Olson.
Trouble's performed yesterday at Debaser Medis/Stockholm Sweden as part of "Dynasty Of Doom" This is a classic band, that really notice, well played rock doom with a nice vocal of Kory Clarke, even if it sounded a little overstrain, but not bad at all, have been listen to their live album thats recorded not long ago and it sounded much as this so i think he is a good replacement for Eric. Great tunes, very old school. I think this was the first time i saw this band live and they did a good job.
Todays tune is the title track from their sixth album "Plastic Green Head", released in 1995.
This video is with Eric, couldn't find a decent one with Kory. Enjoy!

He's here!0
He's finally here!! Things are a whirlwind right now, so I will write more about his amazing birth when things calm down. Baby John was born over the weekend at 8lbs 4.5 oz and 22 inches long; a bundle of pure amazing awesomeness! His birth was perfect and incredible! I can't wait to write about it. In the meantime, here's some pictures to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
The waiting game0
I am SO ready to meet this baby! I know babies come when they're good & ready, but the wait is so hard, especially once your estimated due date comes & goes. This pregnancy has flown by for me. In fact, all the way up til about my 36th week or so, I could never remember how far along I was! But now? Now I have it down pat. And it's going by so slowly.
I've gotten to the point that I'm just simply too pregnant to do anything. It hurts to walk or even just move. I feel like I need a crane just to help me roll over at night! Every time I want to roll over, I have to wake up and hoist my belly over IN INCREMENTS. Four, to be exact. That's right, I have to literally roll over in four carefully executed increments in order to roll from my left side to my right.
I made it this far with working out at the gym, but now that ship has sailed. I know my limits, and my gym days are done until a few weeks after I have this baby. I did great lasting so long with working out, and I'm proud of myself for it! But now it's time to get as much rest as I can before this marathon called labor starts. And my body is definitely preparing. You know all the stories you've heard about women getting a rush of energy right before they go into labor? Not me. NOPE. In fact, the last time I remember feeling so exhausted, so utterly wiped out, was when I had the flu. This is just my body's way of conserving all my energy for The Big Day, whenever that may be. The elusive day. The day that seems like it will never come.
And cue the collective sigh.
Well, in the grand scheme of things, a week or two "late" is really no big deal. It's an *estimated* due date, not an expiration date. There is no eject button. Things will take their course when they're good and ready. And for goodness sake, PREGNANT WOMEN DO NOT POP. Never in the history of mankind has a baby exploded or popped out of a pregnant uterus when it was time to be born. So if you're one of the assholes who says "ohmygah you're about to POP!" I highly recommend you take the opportunity to shut up or you risk those being your final words.
And oh. When a pregnant lady's due date has come and gone, just leave her alone to finish gestating in peace. It's not the end of the world. Unicorns everywhere will not start crying. Twinkle lights all over the world will continue to twinkle merrily. No need to call her a bazillion times asking if she's ok, and for the love of all things that sparkle, do not, I repeat do NOT, ask her if she's had that baby yet. Because it's not like we gave birth, decided we weren't ready, and then had our doctor or midwife shove them back in.
What is it with people and their obsession with due dates? It's like once a woman goes past her ESTIMATED due date, people think ENTIRE GALAXIES WILL START IMPLODING.
Yeah it's really weird. When I mention I'm "past" my due date, people panic a little. "When will you be induced?" "How far will they let you go?" "Is that really safe?" Blah blah blah. What's up with rushing babies? First off, I have the right to refuse an induction or any medical intervention for that matter. Second, nobody "lets" or "doesn't let" me do anything. I am not a little lamb who takes orders. Last, it's a helluva lot safer than artificial induction with Pitocin or Cytotec.
I'm thinking I'm going to start just saying I could still have two more weeks. It would save me from drama. Drama is for llamas, you know.
My personal chef0
This is the lunch Nathan "cooked" me today in his play kitchen. It's a stew consisting of a muffin, a waffle, a hotdog, and an orange slice. He also served me a plate of french fries, a red pepper, and I believe that's a red chili, complete with a cup of milk. Well at least the milk will mitigate the heartburn! This will be quite an interesting meal for sure! I love that boy.
Potty training: Success!!0
Potty training Nathan has been a long, bumpy road. I first started potty training Nathan when he was 2 1/2, but even then I knew he wasn't really ready yet. It was a long, slow process, and we had to take everything in baby steps. First, I had to coax Nathan to sit on the potty fully clothed. (He would usually freak out.) Once he became comfortable, we spent a few weeks sitting on the potty with his pants off but his diaper still on. After that, we finally progressed to sitting on the potty bare-bottomed. But it took a long, long time before he first peed in it. And poop? Wow, his first poop on the potty wasn't until around December or so of '12, shortly before he turned four.
The reason I remember is because he had a stomach bug that day, and I was on the phone with my brother while Nathan was peeing in the potty. Suddenly, Nathan jumped up and exclaimed he had a "tiny, tiny poop." I checked and sure enough, there was a very small amount in the potty. Excited, I told my brother that was Nathan's first bowel movement, and I coaxed Nathan into sitting there to see if there would be more success. There was! I was ecstatic!
So anyway, backing up to before his first poop in the potty, whenever there was a potty success, I'd jump up & down, clap, dance, and just make a huge deal out of it. Nathan loved the attention of it all, but he was still never really motivated enough to go on his own. Around age 3 1/2 or so, he finally started to go pee in the potty more often than not. But not pooping. Nope, not that elusive poop. I tried everything I could think of; bribing with candy (one piece for pee, three or more for poops), tv shows, and even a Poop Prize Box full of special prizes for poops. I tried going cold-turkey on the diapers and putting him in big boy underpants since other parents swore by this method. EPIC FAIL. I tried for a couple weeks, but it was a total flop. Then I tried keeping him in underwear but putting a plastic diaper cover over them, but that was a disaster as well. Nothing seemed to work. And it was *incredibly* frustrating.
I found myself wondering if he was the exception and would be in diapers forever.
And all these parenting experts that warn against getting frustrated when your child doesn't go on the potty have probably not been trying to potty train for a YEAR AND A HALF. It was incredibly hard to keep calm because I knew that Nathan knew where his poop should go. And changing a four-year-old's diaper is hardcore gross, let me tell you. I'd been changing his diaper for four long, tedious years, and now that I was pregnant, I was done.
One day, shortly after his 4th birthday, Nathan had pooped in his pull-up yet again, and I had enough. For the hundredth time, I told him this was beyond ridiculous; he was four years old now and perfectly capable of putting his poop in the potty. I said other kids his age put their poops in the potty, and he needed to as well or he'd run the risk of being made fun of. I don't know what was so different about this time versus all the other times I'd told him the same thing, but it was like a light switched flipped in his brain.
After that, he all-of-a-sudden started peeing AND pooping in the potty. Consistantly. After a few successful potty trips, I started putting him in underwear during the day. He had two accidents and peed on himself the first week, but those are the only accidents he's had. He very quickly transitioned from the training potty to using a seat on the big potty, and from there he transitioned to peeing while standing up. Without peeing all over the place! He's not even had an accident at night. We kept him in pull ups for a few weeks, but went ahead and made the switch to underwear with no problems at all. There was evwn one time a couple weeks ago where he stumbled out of bed at 2am to go pee. I was shocked.
It's the craziest thing. Literally, it was like a light switch flipped in his brain. He decided he was done with pull-ups and that was that. He hasn't looked back since, and we couldn't be any more thankful. Potty training for us was a long, hard road. Now? Every morning, the first thing he does is pee in the potty. And I will only sometimes have to remind him during the day to go potty only because he occasionally gets so engrossed with playing that he'll forget to go.
Hopefully the new baby will be a little less stubborn than his big brother, and potty training will go more smoothly the second time around. And to any parent out there struggling with potty training- it will happen eventually. Not on your clock, though, but on theirs. When they're ready. I don't really think there's a way to speed the process along. And believe me, I know how frustrating it can be. Just give it time.

SHILLONG, Feb 10: The BSF troops deployed at Gujangapara, West Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya observed some suspicious movement with cattle near Intertiol Border. The BSF party encircled the suspected area and squeezed the cordon. As a result, one Indian cattle carrier alongwith 40 no.s cattle while being smuggled from India to Bangladesh. The cattle carrier later identified as Rasidul Miya (40 yrs) S/o Sirajul Miya, resident of Tungichar, Ps Mahanderganj, Distt- SWGH. He confessed before BSF that one Josheph Sangma (21 yrs) resident of vill Govintilla PS- Mahenderganj, Distt- SWGH was the main owner of the seized cattle heads. The seized cattle were to be handed over to the Bangladeshi cattle smugglers who are associates of Josheph Sangma.
The cattle smuggling obviously, threatens our security, undermine and destabilize the peace of our border dwelling people and also destroys the moral values in our society. The attempts of cattle smuggling from India to Bangladesh are still going on rampantly and ubatedly keeping the border guards at their toes.
In another incident, the BSF troops deployed at Beldova, East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya seized 30 more cattle while being smuggled to Bangladesh. The special operation party of BSF laid a trap while some smugglers along with cattle were proceeding towards Bangladesh through a thickly vegetated area.
The BSF troops rushed towards the suspected area before the smugglers could succeed in their nefarious activity, alert Jawans cordoned off the area and recovered a considerable number of cattle.
The border security force troops also seized a huge quantity of liquor at the Indo- Bangladesh border while being smuggled to Bangladesh in the area of Nongzuri and Bholaganj in East Khasi Hills. A special ambush party seized 1,893 bottles of liquor from the spot being smuggled to Bangladesh by the smuggler who escaped taking advantage of darkness and thick vegetation.

Homelessness became a conspicuous facet of Russian metropolitan cityscapes only in the 1990s, when the Soviet criminalization of 'vagrancy' and similar offences was abolished. This study investigates homelessness as a sociostructural phenomenon as well as an individually experienced life condition, with a focus on homeless people in St. Petersburg in 1999 and during the successive years (when anthropological fieldwork was conducted).
To these men and women, homelessness can be concluded with the Russian expression nikomu ne nuzhen, 'needed by nobody' – a dilemma that in their case is twofold. They are 'not needed' as citizens since a permanent address in Russia is the precondition for all civil rights and social benefits (including the permission to work). In addition they have lost, or never had, the intimate social networks that constitute the ultimate social 'safety net' in Russia, and which is the most important context for a sense of 'being needed'. The study investigates processes of social exclusion as well as the sustenance strategies of these 'human leftovers' – or the remaining 'world of waste' of things, tasks, and places that nobody else wants.
The main focus of the study is, however, human worth. Being 'not needed', homeless people are subjected to a forceful social stigmatization, but their situation also deprives them of the social and material prerequisites for acting and relating to others in ways they consider to be 'decent'. This study asks how human dignity is negotiated in the absence of its very preconditions. Which dimensions take precedence, and which cultural resources are employed to restore at least a makeshift sense of being a worthy human?

Diedrick Named to Doak Walker Award Watch List
Nebraska senior I-back Dahrran Diedrick has been named one of 42 preseason candidates for the 2002 Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the nation's top college running back.
Diedrick led the Big 12 Conference in rushing last season with 1,299 yards and 15 touchdowns, earning him first-team All-Big 12 honors. Diedrick rushed for 100 or more yards in seven of his 11 regular-season appearances and scored two or more touchdowns in five games.
Diedrick is one of four Big 12 players named to the preseason list, joining Texas' Cedric Benson, Colorado's Chris Brown and Quentin Griffin of Oklahoma. The SMU Athletic Forum will select eight semifinalists on November 19 and the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee will vote on the winner in late November. The 2002 Doak Wallker Award will be announced live on ESPN's Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2002.

Easyist to remove at 45 degrees, half way between forward and right.It is a 58 panhead and the stop part retained by the wire bail is in the proper recess to limit the movement of the timer. But that is another question . Which pair of holes does the wire bail go in? I never paid attention which ones they were in when I had the timer apart. I did not pull it from the engine so where it is was as driven back when
This is full advance with engine running.The timing mark was just in the window as for the FL. and light just coming on at with the timer at full advanced. So the question is still with the timer at fully advanced is the engine running at full advance or somewhere near?
I have owned eight of these, all of them started easy at full retard, they will start at half retard, the risk of kick back increases.

Bouygues S.A., an industrial group headquartered in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France, designed rugged solar panels, capable of withstanding the weight of an 18-wheeler truck that they are now building into road surfaces and plan to commercialize the technology in early 2018, Bloomberg reports.
"We wanted to find a second life for a road," said Philippe Harelle, the chief technology officer at Colas SA's Wattway unit, owned by the French engineering group Bouygues. "Solar farms use land that could otherwise be for agriculture, while the roads are free."
To resist the weight of traffic, Wattway layers several types of plastics to create a clear and durable casing. The solar panel underneath is an ordinary model, similar to panels on rooftops. The electrical wiring is embedded in the road and the contraption is topped by an anti-slip surface made from crushed glass.
The company began construction on a kilometer-sized testing site last month in the French village of Tourouvre in Normandy. The 2,800 square meters of solar panels are expected to generate 280 kilowatts at peak, with the installation generating enough to power all the public lighting in a town of 5,000 for a year.
The next two sites will be in Calgary in Canada and in the U.S. state of Georgia. Wattway also plans to build them in Africa, Japan and throughout the European Union. "We need to test for all kinds of different traffic and climate conditions," Harelle said. "I want to find the limits of it. We think that maybe it will not be able to withstand a snow plow."

Does a 14 pound 4 ounce Walleye float your boat? Then, you had better click on the link to Lake Heritage's Annual Fish Survey. While the game fish are in good supply the pesky perch, especially the white perch, are persistent. A special thanks to Joe Richard, a long time member of the association and videographer for doing a superlative job filming and editing this video. Two big changes for the 2016 survey: catfish are making an appearance and the water is much clearer. The improvement in water quality has positively affected the quantity and quality of fish. The video is a little more than seven minutes long.

I picked up this book, written by R.W. Livingstone in 1938, a few years ago from a small used bookstore in Newcastle. Socrates has always interested me, and the idea of learning more about him interested me. But how is there any more to learn about him than what we see in Plato's writings? There isn't, really – and so, this portrait consists of Plato's "death of Socrates" trilogy, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo, with annotations and commentary from the editor. His most helpful annotations were the ones regarding the challenges of translating Ancient Greek into English. The word that comes across as "beauty" has a deeper, richer meaning than our word, for example. There was an irritating aspect to many of these annotations, however. Instead of putting them after a section, they generally were listed before a given section, and usually contained a summary of the forthcoming passage, which both broke Plato's natural flow, and somewhat spoiled what was to come next. Before long I stopped reading them, so I could enjoy the natural flow of Plato's writing, which tries very hard to feel like natural conversation. Going back after I finished to read the annotations gave some extra depth. This book was published in 1938 and had at least one previous owner. Interestingly, there were pen marks in the margins, where someone seemed to be noting the places where Socrates was prefiguring Christian beliefs and attitudes. It is remarkable how much he does present a Christian message, especially given that he too was unjustly executed by the state. The Athenians invented democracy, and then used it to execute Socrates. Nobody's perfect, I guess!
One more curious aspect about this book. The editor uses two different typeface sizes: a large one to denote passages that he feels most fully represent Socrates, and a smaller one to indicate ones that are less important for understanding Socrates the man. I had a hard time making the distinction, but I liked the idea of using different sized typefaces to indicate potentially skippable text. In the introduction, the author suggests that if this book received a warm enough reception, that he might create a whole serious of "Portrait of" books. My web search turns up no new ones, which is understandable. It's always pleasing to visit with Socrates, even on his deathbed, but this book would have been much more enjoyable had the editor simply given us some background, and gotten out of the way.

Or to put it another way, the balance of nature.
But before I go into that: I updated the rose page to include pictures of my newest rose (which I actually planted last year): 'Fairy Tale Brothers Grimm'. I'm a bit of a sucker for orange roses, and this one is gorgeous.
Anyway, tomato hornworm is generally not a problem in my garden – I know many people have terrible trouble with them, but in my garden, they don't usually show up until around now, when the tomato plants are winding down and there's only a month max before they have to go on the compost heap. In addition, I never have many of them, and the ones I do get – I don't get for long.
Let me explain. Tomato hornworms are easily confused with tobacco hornworms – they are both the caterpillars of moths of the genus Manduca and they both feed on both tomato and tobacco plants. The easiest way to tell the difference is the colour of the "horn" on the caterpillar's rear end. True tomato hornworms (M. quinquemaculatus) have dark blue or black horns; tobacco hornworms (M. sexta) have red horns. In fact, I was somewhat misleading when I said I don't have much of a probem with tomato hornworms, because the ones that show up in my garden are actually M. sexta. The adults are commonly called hawkmoths and sphinx moths.
Both sorts of caterpillar are commonly parasitised by braconid wasps. The adult female wasp lays her eggs on (or in) the caterpillar. The wasp larvae then literally eat the caterpillar from the inside out before emerging to pupate. This of course kills the caterpillar, so technically the wasp is considered a parasitoid – true parasites are reckoned those that don't kill their hosts.
What you are seeing in the picture is the dangling remnant (exoskeleton) of one such caterpillar – the only one I found on my plants this year. And the only reason I found it is because it was already in the stage you see. The white objects are the pupating wasps. If you look closely, you can just about see the red "horn" near the bottom (the lowest cluster of pupae is actually dangling below the caterpillar by a thread, so the horn is right above it). You can also see that there is just a hollow skin left of the caterpillar itself.
This, then, is the balance of nature. The adult wasps feed on nectar and pollen, so by ensuring my garden has lots of flowers that produce these food sources, I encourage the wasps to stick around. When the caterpillars show up, they do some damage to the tomato plants, yes, but it's not long before the wasps do their thing. And by NOT picking off the hornworms when I see them, I guarantee that future generations of wasps will be present, and future infestations of hornworms will be controlled.

Massively OP had a discussion piece two days ago on difficulty in MMORPGs that was an interesting read, and that generated some incisive comments from the community. I'll cherry-pick a few points to add my own thoughts too in this post:
I think definitely have to separate and break down "complexity" too in this discussion because while combat systems … have stiffened up considerably, we have lost design depth when it comes to other areas of the genre, like crafting depth (hey, Star Wars Galaxies) and housing depth (hey, EverQuest II) [part of Bree's answer]
Bree made several good points but I really liked this one in particular, any discussion of difficulty in MMORPGs generally focuses on combat and she makes the point earlier in her answer that combat has become more complex not less complex; yet that seems to have been balanced in newer games by a simplification or loss of non-combat complexity.
I'd like to see difficulty scaling and/or difficulty settings (set by the player) in MMOs (at least for any solo or instanced content), perhaps with correspondingly adjusted rewards. Such settings are pretty common in SP games.
This comment from Thomas on the article is very close to a pet theme of mine, making content solo-only and then suddenly very difficult (especially if only difficult for certain classes/builds) really annoys me. Thomas goes on to talk about wanting a difficulty slider/setting – common enough for instanced content (e.g. DDOs or WoW's dungeon and raid mode selection options), but that's only one way of empowering the player to vary difficulty. If you allow players to choose group size more flexibly then they can choose to underman or overman content to vary the difficulty in a social manner.
I think this concept [ed: referring to the question on defining difficulty] has been allowed to go on for to long without anyone really setting a precedence. The result of which has lead a much larger than should be group of gamers to believe that "Difficulty = Time Spent."
Then from commenter Dug from the Earth we have the above quote, one which I think is very relevant – repeatedly in recent years games expansions have upped the 'difficulty' by greatly expanding the monsters "time to kill" or inflating their hit points: I'm thinking Mordor in LOTRO, or several different Rift expansions. I can understand the reasoning for doing this, to give veteran and bored long-term players a new challenge, but I think many of these studios do not take into account multi-MMO or casual players in making such changes. I would be happy with an increasing difficulty as you go deeper into such new content, but all too often it seems that the difficulty is stepped up massively from the first mob in the new zones – probably because it is expected that you will be very well geared already from months of repeating the same content while waiting for something new to come along.
For my own part I also want to see more MMORPGs introducing non-combat challenges through puzzles and quests that require thinking to complete (e.g. following lore clues). The Secret World excels at this with its puzzle missions, but I would welcome more challenges that aren't just combat in other games. WoW's last expansion of Legion did take some baby-steps in this direction with the puzzle-oriented Kirin Tor world quest series. I rather enjoyed these for the most part and would welcome more like them in the next expansion.
As Elliot mentioned in his own answer it's hard to approach the subject of difficulty i MMORPGs without breaking it down into more specific sub-topics (like complexity above). The topic more than most is "bracingly subjective" as Elliot phrases it, and so very complex too, but I do find it an interesting one to contemplate.

Vacation Holiday Trips offers travel tips and information for top travel places and best destinations. We feature links, resources and large selection of budget airlines, chartered planes, sea cruises, ferries, travel agencies, land transports and attractions including beaches, medical tourism, retirement homes, historical and pilgrimage tours.
Malta Sports
Football is the most popular sport in Malta. The national stadium is called Ta' Qali Stadium. It is generally noted that the population tends to be split half and half with regards to supporting Italy or England in football, due to the cultural affinities of the island.
The national football team has won several matches over big opponents that reached the final phases in World Cups, such as Belgium , Hungary and Greece.
Rugby union is popular in Malta, with the national men's team currently ranked 49th in the world - the highest ranking that Malta holds in any international team sport. The national squad was given a significant boost early in its history by inviting children of ex-patriate Maltese who had learned the sport in other, higher-level, countries (such as Australia and the U.K.) to improve the level of play. However, in recent years, the national team has included an increasing number of locally based players, while maintaining its position in the mid-rank of European rugby (currently ranked 22nd of 40 competing European nations).
The national women's rugby 7's team has performed very well in recent competitions, earning promotion to, and performing well in, the "A" (second) tier of European competition.
Malta also hosts a snooker round, the Malta Cup, which as of 2008 became a non-ranking event.
In 2008 Malta's Tony Drago was a member of a victorious European Mosconi Cup team, which was played in Portomaso, Malta.
Boxer Jeff Fenech is of Maltese descent.
There are over 1200 rock climbing routes in Malta. The island offers a mixture of both trad climbing and sport climbing and also offers a good variety of bouldering and deep water soloing . The geography and small size of the island makes the climbing easily accessible. The sport is growing in popularity with local communities, as well as tourists and visitors.
In the last decade the aviation sport of Microlight Flying was introduced to the island by the Island Microlight Club. There are now a total of twenty-two microlight aircraft that operate out of the Malta International Airport.
Boċċi is the Maltese version of the Italian game of bocce, French pétanque and British bowls. Other than certain differences in rules and the ground on which the game is played, one of the most obvious differences between Maltese boċċi and foreign equivalents is the shape of the bowls themselves which tend to be cylindrical rather than spherical in shape. Many small clubs (usually called Klabbs tal-Boċċi in Maltese) can be found in Maltese and Gozitan localities, and are usually well-frequented and are quite active on a local and European level.
Vacation Holiday Trips also showcase a unique blend of travel and leisure photos and stories, updates, events and announcements about roads, shopping malls, hotels, bed and breakfast, restaurants, groceries and more. Not just a travel guide but one-of-a-kind discovery of people and places.

Despite the significant advance in our understanding of the molecular basis of light entrainment of the circadian clock in Drosophila, the underlying genetic architecture is still largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify loci associated with variation in circadian photosensitivity, which are important for the evolution of this trait. We have used complementary approaches that combined quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, complementation testing and transcriptome profiling to dissect this variation.
We identified a major QTL on chromosome 2, which was subsequently fine-mapped using deficiency complementation mapping into two smaller regions spanning 139 genes, some of which are known to be involved in functions which have been previously implicated in light entrainment. Two genes implicated with the clock and located within that interval, timeless and cycle, failed to complement the QTL, indicating that alleles of these genes contribute to the variation in light response. Specifically, we find that the timeless s/ls polymorphism that has been previously shown to constitute a latitudinal cline in Europe, is also segregating in our recombinant inbred lines, and is contributing to the phenotypic variation in light sensitivity.
We have also profiled gene expression in two RILs that differ significantly in their photosensitivity, and identified a total of 368 transcripts that showed differential expression (FDR < 0.1). Out of 131 transcripts that showed a significant RIL by treatment interaction (i.e. putative expression QTL), four are located within QTL2: CG32189 (unknown function), Tsp74F (a membrane component), CG5577 (dephosphorylation activity), CG7510 (intracellular signal transduction and trans-membrane transport).

True fans of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) know that the popularization of this genre of music was the work of no other person than the DJ, music producer and songwriter; David Guetta, who has come to be referred to as the grandfather of EDM. Guetta is not only known for EDM but for his contribution to the growth of House music.
He is a multiple award winning artiste and can be credited with influencing the landscape and sound of mainstream music in the 21st century. He has managed to help a lot of other artistes in various genres to tap into the beauty of EDM and the crowd that religiously follows the sound, as well as get some other people who are more attuned to other genres to sit up and listen to what EDM has in store for them. To learn more about David Guetta, keep reading.
David Guetta Biography (Age)
David Guetta was born and given the full name of Pierre David Guetta on the 7th of November 1967. Guetta seemed to know the path he wanted to chart early in life and so started his career in the mid-'90s. He began by working in clubs in Paris as a DJ – in this capacity, he hosted and organized numerous parties, particularly the Broad Club, the Rex, Folies Pigalle. His first song; Nation Rap was released in 1990 and it was a collaboration with Sidney Duteil; a French rapper. The next song he released; Up & Away was dropped in 1994 and just like the last song, was in collaboration with American musician Robert Owens.
His first major hit was the song titled Just a Little More Love and was released in the same year he created his production house; Gum Productions which was in 2001. Guetta continued to put out songs that became hits in his home country of France even if they encountered only modest success in other corners of the world.
His album Pop Life was released in 2007 and this album actually yielded better results gaining him some needed acclaim in the United Kingdom. It, however, stayed up till 2009 before he was able to receive global and international acclaim with the release of the lead single on his fourth album; One Love. On the lead single; When Love Takes Over; he featured Kelly Rowland on vocals which definitely influenced the global reach of the song.
With Kelly Rowland's golden vocals on When Love Takes Over, David Guetta finally gained a deserved spot atop the global charts and peaked at number one on the music charts of numerous countries including; the United Kingdom and the United States. Other songs on the album also maintained high positions on the global charts. One Love became the album that earned him his first Grammy nomination.
The nature of his work and the type of music that he makes seems to require him to work with other top artists, some of which have been Rihanna, The Black Eyed Peas, Sia, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Hudson, Jess Glynne, Zara Larsson among many more others. For his work with The Black Eyed Peas on the song, I Gotta Feeling, the record for the most downloaded song of all time in the United States was set, with 7.5 million downloads.
He was the music ambassador for UEFA in 2016 and wrote the official song for the tournament that year; This One's for You on this song he featured Zara Larsson on vocals. In a career spanning over a period of thirty years, Guetta has released a total of seven albums.
Family Life
David Guetta's father could not be more different from his musician son. For a long time, he worked as a sociologist, a career that is vastly different from the high flying one of music and showbiz. He, however, shares his son's name, Pierre Guetta. He is of Italian and Moroccan-Jewish ancestry. Not much is known about Guetta's mother except that she is of Belgian heritage. Guetta has a step-sister, an actress; Nathalie Guetta who is Franco-Italian.
See Also: Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) Bio, Wife, Girlfriend, Parents, Son, Brother, Family
Wife or Girlfriend
Guetta was once married to French socialite; Cathy Lobe. She previously worked as the manager of a night club. The former couple got married in 1992 and divorced in 2014. They were married for a total of twenty-two years; none of them gave any reasons for the split and in a strange turn of events neither attended the court hearing of their divorce.
With his first wife Cathy, he has two children a boy; Elvis Eric who was born on the 9th of February 2004 and a girl; Angie born on the 23rd of September 2007. The children lead very private lives, hence there is not a lot of information regarding them available to the public.
Guetta, as at the time of this writing is dating Cuban actress and model Jessica Ledon, the two have been dating since 2015.
Net Worth
In 2015, Forbes estimated David Guetta's annual income at $37 million. For a career that has been largely successful and has lasted as long as thirty years, it is not uncommon that his net worth runs into the million. Guetta's net worth is estimated to be $75 million making him one of the top ten richest DJs in the world.

Chemotherapy drug shows promise in relapsing MS
German pharma major Merck KGaA (MRK: DE) has presented a compelling new efficacy and safety analysis from a study of cladribine in relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS), despite this drug being better known as a chemotherapy treatment.
Up until now, cladribine has been used mainly to treat hairy cell leukemia and occasionally other types of leukemia and lymphoma, marketed under the names Leustat or Litak.
But the new cladribine findings, presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, are from a retrospective sub-group analysis of the Phase III CLARITY trial in 289 relapsing MS patients with high disease activity.
They demonstrated a statistically-significant reduction in the risk of disability progression and relapse with cladribine tablets at a dose of 3.5mg/kg compared with placebo in patients who were either treatment naïve or had prior disease modifying drug (DMD) exposure.
Gavin Giovannoni, a lead investigator in the CLARITY studies and chair of neurology at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry in the UK, said: "We know that a proportion of patients with MS have a higher risk of relapse and disability progression than the broader population.
"These data are important since they indicate that patients in the high disease activity subgroup treated with cladribine tablets showed a greater response than that seen in the overall CLARITY trial population."
Luciano Rossetti, head of global research and development for the biopharma business of Merck, said: "Cladribine tablets are thought to selectively target the adaptive immune response in MS, and may be able to address a medical need in those patients already at higher risk of disability progression or relapses."
