Little Pandora bags – everywhere!
Well… it is Mother's Day weekend.
I have nothing against flowers, candles and chocolate – but we try to do Mother's Day a little differently. We – and when I say we – I mean I. I WhatsApp everyone to death, dragging them along to a weekend plan and thankfully they oblige. We try to keep the focus on spending time together and making a day of it rather than focussing on the gifts. Last year we went for a long country stroll. This year, the plan for the day was Cannon Hall Farm.
We love Cannon Hall Farm! It's absolutely fabulous and has changed tons in the past few years. We used to go as kids when there were lots of rickety barns, spitting lamas and none of the new fancy features. Even though it's changed a lot there is so much to do and it hasn't lost it's charm.
On Mother's Day weekend, mums go free which was a lovely touch. We got together with my brothers, spouses, kids and my cousin Natalie came with her neice. It was a lovely group of us. We spent the day feeding animals, riding tractors and stuffing our faces in the gorgeous farm shop cafe. The parks and playgrounds are amazing! Plus there's a huge indoor soft play with some crazy cool drop slides.
It's lovely seeing all the cousins together. They're developing lovely relationships and little personalities. We grew up really close as cousins so it's nice seeing this carry on. There are about two years between all of them – very evenly spaced! Holly is the oldest so tends to be either the boss or the ring leader. Olivia is our newest niece and this was her first big family outing. She's just gorgeous!
We went for food in the 'White Bull' cafe. It's gorgeous food and most of the food comes from the farm and the farm shop itself.
The kids menu is fabulous. I have a real pet hate for kids menus that just have fish fingers and chicken nuggets. This one was so varied and you can even get a kids fried breakfast. Us grown ups all tucked into delicious burgers, kebabs, fish finger sandwiches and pork pies. What more could you ask for?
We may have noticed that they also do Bistro Nights which I'd love to go back for. We're all about the food!
So, that was Mother's Day Part One. A lovely family and farm filled day!

Voter Registrations Due Friday
From Communications Director Chris Barnett:
Secretary of State Mollis is reminding Rhode Islanders they have until tomorrow, August 9, to register to vote in the September 9 primary.
Even though the deadline to register to vote falls on a Saturday, his office at 148 West River St. in Prodence will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. In addition, Mollis published a list of the locations in every city and town that will be open on Saturday so people can take advantage of the extra day to register to vote.
"The overwhelming activity we've had so far this year shows Rhode Islanders are passionate about this year's elections. This is their last chance to make sure they are eligible to make their voices heard in the primary," he said.
Completed voter registration forms that have not been turned into local board of canvassers by tomorrow must be postmarked by August 9 in order to make the deadline.
Our District has a Primary due to Sen. Jack Reed being challenged by fellow Dem. Chris Young. Anyone running for a State office (Senate or Reps) will find their names on the ballot if they are a Dem. I do not believe that Republicans will participate in the Primary, although I could be wrong.
You can go to Middletown or Newport Public Libraries from 10 to 4; Brownell Library in Little Compton from 9 to 2; or the Town Clerk's Office in Tiverton from 9-4.

I lent daughter £70k as a home deposit but she has since sold it and disappeared without repaying a penny - what can I do?
I lent my daughter £70,000 as a deposit on a flat in 2008 via bank transfer which she purchased and lived in for four years.
She never made any repayments to me during this period. She sold the flat, didn't tell me her new address and sent an e-mail in 2014 telling me she didn't want anything to do with me, even though we hadn't seemingly had a falling out. It destroyed me.
She added that I wasn't entitled to any money as we never signed an agreement.
No contact: My daughter sold her flat and e-mailed me to say she didn't want anything to do with me. Picture posted by model
Due to the dramatic change in my circumstances I am now living in a homeless shelter and have been for two years. I'm in my early sixties.
I haven't had any contact with her since the e-mail. I don't have a record of the transfer but it should be easy to obtain.
I have to go to court to try and obtain some of the money but don't have any funds myself. What can I do? Via e-mail.
Lee Boyce, consumer affairs editor at This is Money, replies: Our mailbox is choc full of family money squabbles, suggesting that cash continues to drive a wedge between countless families and friends.
Your case is one of the most galling I've read. We only have your side of the story, but for your own flesh and blood to seemingly accept £70,000 and then leave you in the lurch in the manner you have described above sounds brutal.
In the first instance, I would suggest sending another e-mail outlining your perilous circumstances and try to build bridges.
You may also consider gently saying you are willing to take her to court, but you'd rather it didn't come to that.
You will also need to put together as much evidence you can.
You say the payment was a bank transfer, so there should be proof.
If you don't have them already, ask your bank for 2008 statements.
It outlines the need for signed agreements and the power these simple documents can have.
Many who loan money to relatives may believe they never need this as it shows a lack of trust – but circumstances can always change, no matter how solid a relationship is when money is loaned.
This is a case in point.
So what about legal action? That looks likely to be the only option open to you. Given your circumstances, it would be worth heading to Citizens Advice.
On its website, it says: 'You might be able to get help with court fees if you're on a low income.' It then points to the Government website showing what help you can qualify for.
I turned to a legal expert to give an indication of how likely you would be to succeed in a court bid for the cash.
Paul Crowley, senior partner at Paul Crowley & Co Solicitors in Liverpool, replied: The reader has entered into a verbal contract to loan to her daughter the sum of £70,000.
At this juncture it may be difficult to prove the terms of the contract.
I assume that the reader's daughter will allege that the money was a gift rather than a loan.
In those circumstances, a court would find it difficult to decide who was telling the truth.
This will be especially difficult as the reader does not appear to have agreed any terms in respect of the loan and does not appear to have made any attempt for the money to be repaid.

"Giada in Italy"
Sunday, July 19 at 11 AM ET/PT on Food Network
There are certain places on earth that tug at the heart and draw you back time and again, for Giada De Laurentiis that place is Italy. Rich in culture and character, Italy is the place that shaped Giada's sensibility and sparked her culinary passion. Now, she embraces the future by reconnecting with the past, returning to where it all began. This series follows Giada back to her birthplace for an extended holiday, as she revisits family, friends, and the flavors that inspired her life's work.
Emmy Award-winning personality Giada De Laurentiis has become a household name. With an impressive background of culinary training and a unique, personable charm, she is a globally revered celebrity chef who continues to prove her skill and accessibility not only with her expanding presence beyond Food Network but also with the great success of her cookbooks, brand alliances, food products and recurring role on TODAY.
Born in Rome, Giada grew up in a large Italian family where the culture of food was a staple in and of itself. In this series, Giada prepares meals at her family's holiday home in Italy.
As the granddaughter of film producer Dino De Laurentiis, Giada consistently found herself in the family's kitchen and spent a great deal of time at her grandfather's restaurant, DDL Foodshow. After graduating from the University of California in Los Angeles with a degree in anthropology, Giada's passion for cooking remained. She eventually made the decision to commence a culinary career and began her professional training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, specializing in both cuisine and pastry. She subsequently returned to Los Angeles, where her training included positions at the prestigious Ritz-Carlton Fine Dining Room and Wolfgang Puck's Spago in Beverly Hills. She later founded GDL Foods, a catering company in Los Angeles.

We, PhotosNepal, would like to wish you all HAPPY TIHAR & DEEPAWALI. May this Tihar bring a lot of Happiness in your life and in your family.
Tihar or Deepawali is the festival of lights. It is a 5-day long festival. The first day of Tihar is "Kaag Tihar"(Or Crow Tihar), on this day people worship crows and offer them food. The second day is the "Kukkur Tihar"(Or Dog Tihar), on this day people worship dogs and offer them food and garlands. The third day and the main day,"Laxmi Puja" is celebrated by decorating the house and worship it. People put garlands around the doors and windows of the house and At night they decorate their house with lights. These days people use electric lights but sometime back hand made lights were used. People worship cow in the morning and goddess Laxmi at night. Deusi and Bhailo starts from this day. The next day is "Gobardan puja", it is like Laxmi puja. The last day of Tihar "Bhai Tika"(or Brother Puja) is the day where sisters worship their brother for their long and prosper life. On this time, especially at night, you'll see Nepal like never before and I suggest you to go to Swyambhu and see the valley from their.

Stream a Track off Sau Poler's Forthcoming EP on Atomnation
One of Spain's most notable up-and-comers and a frequent contributor to our downloads section, Barcelona-based producer Sau Poler is set to release his next EP titled Memorabilia via the rising Amsterdam-based label, Atomnation.
Offering up five new tracks, Poler seamlessly blends his classic Fender Rhodes instrumentation with that of his precise drum arrangements and the fluid arpeggiator synth lines of his Arp Odyssey for a collection of dance inducing tunes that are serene, complex, and downright moving.
Check out what Sau Poler has to say about his upcoming release in the text below.
"'Memorabilia' is like a link between past and present. The result of this project is a transition that remains back and forth during the creation of it. I've start to experiment more and more with electronic sounds, and feeling really excited about that. It's the reason I've decide to invest on new equipment, aiming to work on longer song structures that can lay on different spots during the track length. 'Jaffe House', 'Esperits' or 'Gone' are a good example of that."
You can stream the track "Jaffe House" from his forthcoming EP in the player below.

Mutations in individual transcription factors (TFs) cause different disease states in particular cells and tissue types, suggesting that regulation of distinct target genes in a context-dependent way is critical for normal development and function. Despite decades of study of developmental gene regulation, it is still unclear how TFs expressed at different times and in different tissues regulate subsets of target genes in context-dependent ways. Furthermore, multiple TFs with similar binding preferences are often simultaneously expressed in the same cells, but how their individual activities are integrated is poorly understood. We propose here a detailed study of context-specific gene regulation by K50HD TFs, a functionally related group that share a critical Lysine (K) at position 50 of their homeodomains (K50HD) and bind a consensus TAATCC core. We will use the well-studied Drosophila embryo and eye as paradigms to address how each K50HD TF binds preferred alternative sites to control context-specific expression of target genes (Aim 1). The K50HD TFs Orthodenticle, Bicoid, and Goosecoid play roles in embryonic patterning, whereas Orthodenticle, Ptx1, Defective Proventriculus, and Goosecoid are important for eye development. We will use Protein-Binding Microarrays to rigorously define intrinsic DNA-binding preferences for each K50HD TF, and competitive gel shifts and transfection assays to verify preferred alternative binding sites. We will perform ChIP-exo (a modified version of ChIP-seq with higher resolution) to assess enrichment of preferred alternative sites in bound DNA regions. We will evaluate transcriptomes in wild type and mutant backgrounds to determine the impact of K50HD TF binding at alternative sites to gene regulation. We will then use enhancer reporter constructs to test the necessity and sufficiency of preferred alternative sites in context-specific regulation.
In Aim 2, we will address how K50HD TFs work combinatorial with other factors to dictate context-specific expression. We will combine DNA binding and transcriptome data to define and characterize a large set of K50HD-dependent regulatory elements (enhancers) that drive expression in the embryo and/or the eye. After grouping enhancers according their differential expression patterns, we will search for over-represented motifs that dictate context-dependent expression. These motifs will be manipulated in transgenic assays to test regulatory functions, and used to identify trans-acting factors that control enhancer specificity via combinatorial mechanisms. Our findings will define how enhancers integrate the binding activities of multiple transcription factors to correctly activate batteries of target genes in tim and space. Our studies will also provide insights into how the fine details of enhancer architecture are critical for regulation by complex milieus of TFs to produce precise context-specific expression.
Mutations affecting individual transcription factors cause differential effects in particular tissues and cell types, suggesting that it is important to eluciate the mechanisms determining context-specific transcription factor activity. We will study how the binding and activity of the K50HD type transcription factors (that bind a similar consensus DNA motif) are modulated to determine differential target gene regulation in the well-understood Drosophila embryo and eye models. Using in vitro and in vivo DNA-binding, transcriptome, and enhancer reporter analyses, we will determine how K50HD transcription factors work combinatorial with one another and other regulatory factors to dictate context-dependent expression.

Acute Transient Vestibular Syndrome
Prevalence of Stroke and Efficacy of Bedside Evaluation
Background and Purpose—The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of stroke and efficacy of bedside evaluation in diagnosing stroke in acute transient vestibular syndrome (ATVS).
Methods—We performed a prospective, single-center, observational study that had consecutively recruited 86 patients presenting with ATVS to the emergency department of Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital from January to December 2014. All patients received a constructed evaluation, including HINTS plus (head impulse, nystagmus patterns, test of skew, and finger rubbing) and brain magnetic resonance imagings. Patients without an obvious cause further received perfusion-weighted imaging. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine clinical parameters to identify stroke in ATVS.
Results—The prevalence of stroke was 27% in ATVS. HINTS plus could not be applied to the majority of patients because of the resolution of the vestibular symptoms, and magnetic resonance imagings were falsely negative in 43% of confirmed strokes. Ten patients (12%) showed unilateral cerebellar hypoperfusion on perfusion-weighted imaging without an infarction on diffusion-weighted imaging, and 8 of them had a focal stenosis or hypoplasia of the corresponding vertebral artery. The higher risk of stroke in ATVS was found in association with craniocervical pain (odds ratio, 9.6; 95% confidence interval, 2.0–45.2) and focal neurological symptoms/signs (odds ratio, 15.2; 95% confidence interval, 2.5–93.8).
Conclusions—Bedside examination and routine magnetic resonance imagings have a limitation in diagnosing strokes presenting with ATVS, and perfusion imaging may help to identify strokes in ATVS of unknown cause. Associated craniocervical pain and focal neurological symptoms/signs are the useful clues for strokes in ATVS.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Assetto Corsa' started by alexrockmola, May 28, 2017.
Is there a way to get some AI cars online? I say it because playing only between 2 its boring...
Why not get a premium membership and race against real people in our club races
Click me
Simple answer is no i think you cant add AI in multiplayer..
Sadly it's not possible :/
Only sim I know where you CAN do that is project cars.
Most of the old games used to do this,
GTL, rfactor, Race 07, Automobilista
I believe you can also add them in rFactor 2.
Not having this option can be a let down for such a amazing game.
Mmm, Assetto Corsa is the best simulator I think, best graphics and mods... but the worst is that we have no IA online...
About PREMIUM I dont know for what I should have it...
No one is saying you SHOULD have it. It was just a hint that you could have fair and nice races with us almost every day without rage quitting and divebombing
IF you want to.
real smooth hahah

Well, Mr. Nathan turned 16 months old in June. We celebrated, but never posted it. Now he's about to turn 17 months, so I figured I'd better get on it! Here's a picture of the girls with the chocolate chip cookies we ate in Nathan's honor. Unfortunately, Peter was already in bed by the time we finished baking them. We used the recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag.
We LOVE cookies! And we can't to eat them with Nathan and celebrate him in person!

Suckling Swiss Webster mice were inoculated with 10(4)TCD50 of coxsackieviruses, group B types 1 or 4. Virulent necrotizing myocarditis resulted in 185 infected mice. Of the latter group, three (14.3%) nurslings on the 17th and 23rd day after inoculations had left ventricular aneurysms postmortem. None of 61 concurrently matched control mice developed aneurysms. Ventricular aneurysm is a suggested but previously undocumented complication of murine, and possibly human necrotizing transmural coxsackievirus myocarditis.

Felix Mendelssohn
Started the Bach revival
We owe him so much!
It's hard to imagine Bach's music falling out of favor. But that was the case as the Classical era began. Composers of the time were looking for a new sound, something more streamlined than the ornateness of the Baroque period. Bach's music, with its intricate counterpoint and Sudoku-esque fugues began to sound decidedly old-fashioned. It was still highly respected, it just wasn't in style. The tail fins of American cars of the 1950s are cool…you just don't want them on your Honda.
And then Felix Mendelssohn came along.
Mendelssohn was determined to present Bach's St. Matthew Passion. He greatly shortened it (some might less charitably say he cut it to ribbons) to keep the audience's interest (normally it would take over three hours; sometimes its two parts are presented in two concerts). And in 1829, at the age of 20, he conducted it. It was a great success.
The fascinating story of how Mendelssohn came to know the music of J. S. Bach can be read here. More details on the 1829 concert and how it came to be can be read here.
Here is the beautiful aria Erbarme Dich from the St. Matthew Passion, sung by Magdalena Kožená.

When I first arrived in Hobart six years ago, I fell in love with the small harbour city immediately. I have always lived near water. First, when I was born in Penang – an island on the west coast of Peninsula Malaysia. It is a small island of 294 sq km, compare to Tasmania of 64, 519 sq km – the main island. Then in 1993, I immigrated to Sydney, which is one of the most beautiful harbour city in the world. However, Hobart is very different. She has her own charm and uniqueness. She is small, quiet and relax. There never seems to be a rush.
Though I have lived in Sydney for 7 years, I found the city busy, congested, noisy and always in a rush. Hobart is just the opposite. It is relaxing here. Time is at its slowest. Well, for me. Hobart's waterfront is one of my favourite spot in the city. It is easy to park and walk around. The waterfront is almost interconnected to few point of interests – central CBD for shopping, the historic Salamanca to browse at art galleries, restaurants and cafes and historic Battery Point.
The waterfront is generally nice and quiet throughout the year, except Saturday morning when the island's most famous market – Salamanca Market, is held and part of the street is closed. And, when the waterfront hosts its annual Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, and the Taste Festival of Tasmania for one week between 28 Dec 2009 and 3 Jan 2010. It is one of the best time to visit Hobart. In the past, I avoid going to the waterfront at this time of the year. It will be extremely busy with visitors from overseas, interstates and other part of Tasmania. Everyone seems to flock to the waterfront at this time. But, the perfect weather gives me no excuse not to visit the waterfront – to enjoy the festivities and to look at the yachts.
It was a perfect day. Many yachts have finished the race and berthed at the waterfront. There was a cruise ship, Diamond Princess. There was an air of festivities. There were people everywhere, Camera in one hand, just like me. Clicking away. It was the busiest time I have ever seen at the waterfront. The population must have doubled with the cruise ship passengers and crews. The funny thing was – even the waterfront was crowded, I was never stressed or rushed. I felt relax. I was taking my time strolling along the waterfront. Paced myself and enjoyed the beautiful day.
That was my first place of interest – the finishing point of Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race. I continued with my walk towards Salamanca Place. I was thinking maybe I should try the Taste.
I have only been to the Taste Festival twice – once for the new year eve's party when I first arrived in Tasmania. It was awful. The weather was freezing cold and windy on 31 Dec 2003. The food was, I thought, expensive and average. The fireworks was nothing to rave about. The entertainment was so-so. That was my memory of my first Taste.
The second year, I decided to try again on a normal day. Again, my memory was not too good. It was extremely hot in the tin shed venue. It was, in my opinion, a horrible venue with poor ventilation and inadequate shelters and seating. The food was not memorable either. So, I vow I will never go back to another Taste.
But I was wrong. The perfect weather has invited me to the Taste once again. I was early, which was good. There was a long queue at the top end of the venue. I walked towards the bottom end. It was almost 11 am, the opening time. There were only ten people at the bottom end. I guess most visitors didn't realise there were two entrances.
This third time I was splendidly surprise, after 5 years! It had improved. The Taste was better organised. There were good selection of food and wine stalls. Some stalls provided a choice of small plate for taste and a larger plate. I was happy to be given the options.
When the gate was opened, I walked in casually. No pushing. Nothing. I walked to the nearest food stall – The Thorpe Farm Produce. I read about the produces and Ploughman Tasting Plate in Rita's Bite. I had to try it.
Thorpe Farm's ploughman tasting plate – venison sausage, lamb kofta, highland cheese, toasted bread, onion pickled. The size was just the right size for me. Only for a taste, which was what I was after. A great start to the Taste for me.
I continued down the shed. Good selection and choices. Then I came to Flathead – a seafood place in South Hobart, which I have been thinking of dining there but never got around to do it. So this was a great opportunity for me to taste the freshly cooked Tasmanian produce. This stall won an award for its creativity of using the local produce. I chose a tasting plate of Char Grilled Pirate Bay Octopus with Greek Salad.
The portion size of the tasting plate was just right and well priced. The octopus was char grilled perfectly. It was tender and had a lovely charred flavour. It was a beautiful dish. And, I couldn't resist but had to try the Thai fish cake. Got one at $2. It was perfect – moist, tangy and flavoursome. My only disappointment was – I asked the guy that took the order the type of fish used. At first, he said it was blue eye. Then, said it was flathead. So I asked whether it was blue eye or flathead. And, his response was both! He got me confused. All I can guess is it was a local fish – but, was it blue eye or flathead or both? Anyone?
After two tasting plates – I was getting quite full. Also, quite thirsty. But I didn't want a wine because I had to drive 60 km to get home. And, I am not a good drinker in day time. I get tipsy too quickly. I had one last stall in mind. The stall banner, display shelfs and bright red vibrant colour kept coming into my mind – the raspberry stall. Yes, the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm. That was my next and final stop. The stall won the best concept stall award. The display was visually effective and pleasing.
There was a long queue. I couldn't let the crowd deterred me from trying this final taste. I waited and got myself a small Raspberry Sundae. All I can say was. It was very, very good. I was like being transported into the land of raspberry world.
That was my best experience of the Taste. Forget about the tin shed venue.
And, guess what. I went back there again on Saturday with my partner. It was busier than the previous weekday. It was the busiest time ever because it was on the same day as the Salamanca Market. We parked the car quite far, at the Cenotaph and walked. Glad we did that. It was nice to walk after the food at Taste. Once again, it was no rush. Easy. And a happy experience for both of us.
Glad to be in Hobart at this time of the year.

movie reviews: Star Trek Into Darkness, Fast & Furious 6
What I love: Special effects, set pieces, the design of Vengeance, the destruction of the city, and the over the top final fight.
What I hate: Utterly predictable plot, tries too hard to be emotional, that pointless strip scene, and the retarded ending.
Sorry but I think the previous movie is sooooo much better than Into
Dumbness Darkness.
Rating: 5/10
Not as good as the previous one but still entertaining. That final battle gets into the ridiculousness which is a few cars keeping the flying plane down that lasts more than 10 min I believe. I never seen a runway this long that's possibly over 3 miles at length. I don't like how this movie retcons a certain event from the previous movies bringing back that character here. So I guess this and the previous movie were prequels to Tokyo Drift since they show Han's death from that scene as the epilogue.
Rating: 6.5/10

During today's elections, Oregon is launching a pilot program which allows voters to cast their ballot on an iPad. The program is designed to allow elderly or disabled people vote on an easy-to-read, easy-to-use app. The app then prints out a paper ballot, which is then mailed to the proper office. An elections board representative monitors the process to ensure fairness.
If successful, the program could bring us closer to an age of digital voting, where casting your ballot from the convenience of your home is the norm. It would drastically improve our voter participation rate if we didn't have to get to the local high school gymnasium for every election. Voter error would also decrease with easy-to-read touchscreens displaying candidate choices.
If the software provided a printable "I Voted" sticker and a smile from an elderly retiree pollworker after each ballot is cast, almost none of that Election Day magic would be lost.
That life is still a far way off.
The Oregon program doesn't send in a user's vote directly from the software, it merely provides a printout which then can be mailed in. It's useful software in Oregon with its mail-in ballot, but won't work in a state like New York where no ballots (except absentee) are sent by mail. Security would need to be ensured, and voters would have to be convinced their choices were successfully counted.
We're making progress toward the goal of voting digitally from home, but evolution in electoral systems is perhaps even more gradual than in biology. For now, Oregon's experiment, if successful, shows a smart use of technology in helping disabled citizens exercise their right and their responsibility to vote.

This has always been a main problem that all photography lovers will question themselves found at some opportunity or an added. Even professional digital first person shooters will using some placement need within order to have any kind of a think concerning where as well as her photography business ventures is travelling. So the specific question which experts state needs to be addressed is immediately how could well we provide more hard earned cash from electrical photography on the net.
It does not need to really particles and organisms whether clients are a brand new professional digital photographer or a great amateur, your corporation only have got to pay off your the time doing the text you love most in order towards make resources from computerized photography online, and most of these following guidelines will help you you construct the a large number of out of your photography business.
What they are about to have an understanding of will help your line of work to do well whether your entire family are selling digital photo taking online through stock wedding ceremony sites, or even within order to your local market place, so let me discover clearly what you are actually able when you need to do to sell a little more of any photography position.
General Photographs Courses against Specialized Courses- General images courses usually target those who want to get an all round idea somewhere around photography. Them courses will cover scoop such so as exposure, formula and bulbs techniques. Many courses give you fantastic outlook amongst the enters of photography and the best to turn in taking photographs career. Conventional Photography Applications are superb for some of those who want to gain knowledge of photography anywhere from scratch. However, if your corporation are a fabulous photographer combined with basic knowledge in range of photography techniques, a precise course can be generally best choice for your. photography marketing
Photo Key phrases Software- Even though Adobe Photoshop is the most famous hit editing software, there are often plenty linked to specialized software programs that will likely make a person's digital camera experience yet better. When you attitude photography as a a career, a significant level involving knowledge is normally required about photo editing softwares as well. Provide sure which will choose a brand new course which in turn offer basic photo using classes seeing as well.
Certification- Some institutes request that his or her own certificate will recognized by way of various corporations. However, view the take pleasure in of these great certificates previous enrolling for a track. If that you are a new successful photographer, certificates quite possibly not quite possibly be much related with a information but needed for beginners, a good solid good camera certificate can be that added advantage.
Fee- The is never necessary which experts claim you be trained more in the instance that you pay more. There are thousands of colleges that charge anyone a higher than average sum nevertheless , the courses may no be previously worth the house. Ask for many the module curriculum and compare of which with other institute's program so who it have the ability to be far more convenient for you to receive out some sort of better assumed about individuals courses.

I noticed this paper on astro ph today by Hou, Goodman, & Hogg describing their "new" idea for marginal likelihood estimation using the geometric path. A quick inspection reveals that in fact the idea being presented is exactly the same as Fan et al. (Jan 2011)'s generalised "stepping stone" estimator, which in turn is an extension of Xie et al.' (2010)'s naive "stepping stone" estimator by integration from a well-chosen reference density — following the ideas of Lefebvre et al. 2010 (and Friel & Pettitt 2008) regarding the connection between the error of thermodynamic integration along the geometric path and the J-divergence between the two end point distributions.
It's odd that the authors didn't mention any of these previous presentations of this marginal likelihood estimator. For one thing, if ever you go on the internet then you will find out that the stepping stone estimator is all up in that like lol cats, memes, and bad selfies. (Just type "geometric path" and "marginal likelihood" into google; see e.g. the review by Baele et al. 2012). For another thing, I sent Hogg & Hou a copy of my recursive marginal likelihood estimators paper (which discusses this stepping stone business and the choice of reference density for geometric path sampling) in October 2013 (and it had been on arXiv since many months before then). I even wrote on Hogg's blog that I thought what I'd heard of their paper sounded a lot like Lefebvre's ideas just a few days ago. At that time Hogg's reply was rather cryptic: "Yes, didn't mean to claim novelty! Just invention." Overlooking the fact that the dictionary definition of invention gives novelty as its implication (e.g. "create or design [something that has not existed before]": link), I would have at least thought they'd cite Lefebvre et al in their arXived version. (Strangely, they did cite my recursive estimators paper in the context of prior-sensitivity; which was nice!)
For those interested in using the stepping stone estimator for geometric path sampling from an auxiliary density it's worth noting here a few other ideas overlooked by Hou, Goodman, & Hogg. First, although they state that "their" method has computational advantages over reversible jump MCMC, parallel tempering, nested sampling, and population Monte Carlo this is certainly not guaranteed in general and will very likely be untrue for the specific cases of multi-modal or fat-tailed posteriors. The point is that since the error of this method depends on the J-divergence between the two end point densities (prior and auxiliary) it can easily happen that one chooses a poor auxiliary with worse J-divergence against the posterior than the prior itself. Indeed for some posterior — auxiliary combinations one can end up in the infinite variance quagmire of the dreaded harmonic mean. As anyone who truly understands marginal likelihood estimation will tell you: it's horses for courses, baby! One way to limit the potential damage caused by unwittingly adopting a poor auxiliary is via a defensive importance sampling strategy (Hesterberg 1995), i.e., taking instead of Hou et al.'s Laplace approximation-esque g(theta) a defensive h(theta) = alpha*pi(theta)+(1-alpha)*g(theta) [for 0 < alpha < 1; alpha small].
It's also worth remembering, as I stress in my recursive estimators paper, that the stepping stone path is not only used by the stepping stone method, but existed previously as the preferred identity for estimating marginal likelihoods via the population Monte Carlo method (e.g. del Moral et al. 2006). In this case it becomes really the mechanics by which the tempered bridging distributions are explored that sets the difference between methods — again which is better will ultimately come down to implementation- and problem- specific considerations. Finally, in my opinion (forged from experience in practical applications, though I only have a heuristic argument to back this up) the biased sampling (Vardi 1985) summation presented in my recursive estimators paper will always provide a more accurate estimator of the marginal likelihood than the stepping stone given the exact same draws — the reason for this being that the pseudo-importance sampling character of biased sampling makes for more efficient use of the available information — and the biased sampling version gives direct access to an efficient estimator of prior-sensitivity. So if you use Hou et al.'s method then you ought to try my (by which I mean Vardi's, Geyer's, Kong's, etc.) summation!

Saudi Arabia supplies Us with less than 15% of Our Oil.
The United States consumes 18.69 million barrels of oil and oil products each day, 10.74 million of which are oil imports from 15 countries, according to data from the Central Intelligence Agency and U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Of those 10.74 million barrels imported each day, 3.77 million (35%) come from the neighboring countries of Canada and Mexico. Comparatively, the U.S. imports 2.03 million barrels (19%) from the African countries of Nigeria, Algeria, and Angola. A near equal amount, 1.89 million barrels (18%), are imported from the South American countries of Venezuela, Columbia, Brazil, and Ecuador. The U.S. imports another 1.66 million barrels (15.5%) from the Middle East; namely, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait. The remaining 1.39 million barrels (12.5%) are imported each day from Russia, the Virgin Islands, and the United Kingdom.

BILLINGS – A new rule prohibiting smoking within 20 feet of public entryways, windows or ventilation systems will take effect in Yellowstone County on March 1.
Rule 7, as it's called, was voted in by the RiverStone Board of Health in December. The rule will also ban the use of e-cigarettes and other vaping devices indoors, putting them under the same restrictions as traditional cigarettes.
"The toll that is taken on society by tobacco products is tremendous," said Michael Dennis, a member of the RiverStone Board of Health. "Given our responsibility in the arena of public health, we thought it very important to proceed with Rule 7."
Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths a year in the United States, according to the Center for Disease Control. More than 40,000 deaths are a result of secondhand smoke exposure.
"This is nothing revolutionary," said Dennis. "Restrictions on vaping and stand back rules in front of businesses is taking place all across the country and we want to be progressive and up to date in our public health initiatives."
Despite the arguments of the health board, there are many who still oppose the new rule. One of the major groups opposed is the Yellowstone Tavern Association.
"The whole thought process behind it is kind of that cradle to grave idea that we're going to fix your health regardless if you like it or not," said Corey Welter, a member of the Yellowstone Tavern Association.
Welter said he supports the Montana Clean Indoor Air Act, and was in favor of prohibiting smoking indoors, but says this rule goes too far.
"This affects everybody," said Welter. "This isn't just a casino, bar issue. This is a restaurant issue, this is a hotel issue, and this is a grocery store issue. How are you going to tell somebody that they can't smoke on a public sidewalk?"
For Welter, the biggest issue is enforcement.
According to the health board, enforcement will be a complaint-driven process. To file a complaint, you'll have to provide specific details like the name and contact information for the business or individual in violation.
Welter said that will unfairly target business owners.
A violation could be someone smoking too close to a business, or just a lack of the proper signage. The first violation will result in a warning, further violations could result in fines and legal action.
"There have not been that many complaints about the Montana Clean Indoor Air Act and I don't believe that there will be many complaints about this one either," said Dennis.
Dennis said the hope is that by posting signs and alerting the public to the new rule, smokers will stay back on their own, and enforcement won't have to be a big issue.
Welter said while he understands the health concerns, pushing smokers out into the street or parking lot isn't the answer.
"We strategically place our ash trays to where they are away from the doors," said Welter. "Our windows are sealed as tight, so I personally feel that this ordinance is just a waste of our time and a waste of the counties money."
The Yellowstone Tavern Association filed a lawsuit against RiverStone Health last week.

XFS vs ZFS Might Not be a Fair Fight
I somehow got sucked into reading more about ZFS tonight.
What's interesting is some of the design decisions they made for this filesystem that while increasing overall stability probably decrease performance.
For example:
All operations are copy-on-write transactions, so the on-disk state is always valid.
I assume that internally this does a read and then another write of that block on another section of the disk. This requires two seeks instead of just one. Of course having to avoid fsck and then having the ZFS snapshot support might easily justify this functionality.
Another stability feature they added might seem to slow down the filesystem:
Once we had ditto blocks, then next question is: Where should we put the extra copies? The answer seems pretty obvious: As far apart as possible.
In a storage pool with only a single disk, we spread the blocks physically across the disk. Our policy aims to place the blocks at least 1/8 of the disk apart. This way, if there is a localized media failure (not all that uncommon on today's drives), you still have a copy elsewhere on that disk.
I would assume the writes here are rare since these blocks are critical and earlier in the filesystem and probably won't be updated very often.
I'd expect XFS to still come in a little faster than ZFS but the added stability that ZFS provides might e worth the hit in performance.

Monday March 27, 2006
We're going to wait for the end of the week before throwing in the towel but I fear that our sale is stuck, well and truly, and is now unlikely to bear fruit. The guy at the start of the chain is, for whatever reason, clearly unable to proceed. It's still possible he may get his act together, miracles do happen, and I'm going to look awfully foolish if he does, but I'm now slipping into accepting the situation and wanting to activate our plan 'B'.
Friday will see the point of no return beyond which we shall have to prepare the house for me to manage, and continue to sell, while Graham departs to Somerset for another season. We'll not quit the deal at that point but when the house is ready to sell once more the argument for going back to the market clear and unencumbered by an offer that has come to naught will be unanswerable. I'd prefer it, should we come to that, for our buyers to force our hand by dropping out ahead of us.
I'm beyond cursing. Under the English system of property conveyance there's nothing to be done about it, no penalty that can be exacted. Up to the point of exchange of contracts it's a deal binding by word only and sometimes you come across people whose word turns out to be a commodity lacking in worth.
Needless to say, we're both of us feeling a little down just now. We'll get through it, but we had really hoped we'd not have to spend another summer apart.
Hey ho. It's a sad fact that the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley.

Seattle General Strike Project
Sources and Research Guide to:
The I.W.W. in The Seattle General Strike
By Colin Anderson
The Industrial Workers of The World (I.W.W.) were an influential radical labor organization that was very active from the late 19th century up until the 1920's, when they declined from prominence. Their political and ideological ideas made them unique from other labor organizations at the time. Essentially, they wanted to make workers more class-conscious and unite them in "One Big Union." They leaned towards the socialist ideas of figures like Marx and Lenin, which were spreading throughout the globe, sparking revolutions of both thoughts and, in the case of Russia, government.
The I.W.W., or Wobblies as they were commonly called, were particularly active in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle was a hotbed for radical activity by the Wobblies, and many Seattlites who were not I.W.W. members sympathized with many of their ideas. The organization came to prominence in the region through the timber industry, which provided its workers with an environment that facilitated the I.W.W.'s spread. Towns outside of Seattle were also penetrated by the Wobblies, and the story of the organization's struggle against persecution includes violent episodes in both Everett and Centralia.
By the time of the Seattle General Strike, the I.W.W. was past its peak of support and was suffering from a red scare in the wake of world events like the Russian Revolution. Although many people still supported the ideas of the I.W.W., it had become dangerous to openly declare oneself a card-carrying member of such a radical organization. Many of the rank-and-file workers in Seattle, as elsewhere, were members of both the I.W.W. and less revolutionary A.F.L. unions.
The records of the events leading up to the strike, as well as historical evidence from the years after the strike, show that the Wobblies did not directly have much to do with the strike. They were, however, the most radical labor organization in a town that was unique for the radical nature of its labor movement in general. It is no coincidence that the first official general strike happened in a town that was a center of Wobbly activity.
Some people believed that the Wobblies had much more to do with the strike than they actually did. There was a widespread fear among the conservatives of Seattle that the strike was a revolutionary action that the I.W.W. was behind. The press generally took a position that lent itself to such opinions, as well. Mayor Ole Hanson publicly blamed the Wobblies for the strike as he toured the country following the strike telling the story of Seattle's general strike. Many Wobblies were arrested following the strike and accused of being behind it. In this way, the general strike probably helped perpetuate the I.W.W.'s decline in the wake of the strike.
The people who were actually involved with the strike, including members of the General Strike Committee, have denied that Wobblies played any official role. Interviews, court records, and literature show us that they actually tried to explicitly distance themselves from the I.W.W., even though they likely agreed with some I.W.W. principles. The truth of how much of a role the Wobblies played is very hard to quantify. It probably lies somewhere between the extreme blame given by conservatives and the denial by A.F.L. labor leaders. What is important to realize is the Wobblies' place in the radical labor environment in 1919 Seattle.
Robert Tyler's book, Rebels In The Woods, is an excellent history of the I.W.W. in the Northwest. It does an excellent job of providing an understanding of the organization's rise and influence in the region.
For a better understanding of the General Strike, including the I.W.W.'s role, Robert Friedheim's book, The Seattle General Strike is the source to consult.
The University of Washington's Suzzalo Library is an excellent place to learn more about the I.W.W., and its place in the strike.
There is a collection of materials collected and researched by Robert Friedheim for his book that is a great place to find primary sources on the strike.
The Industrial Worker and Industrial Solidarity are both I.W.W. newspapers that are a good place to get a sense of the Wobblies' perspective on the strike. Looking at other newspapers, both labor and mainstream publications, is a good way to gain a sense of the difference in perspectives that existed regarding the I.W.W. and the importance of radicals and revolutionaries in the Seattle General Strike.
The library's collections also include I.W.W. pamphlets and booklets that provide their own ideas.
At the National Archives and Records Administration in Seattle, there are other collections with much primary source information on the Wobblies. These collections are: the Naval Intelligence Reports, Records of the 13th Naval District, Record Group 181, and the Military Intelligence Division, Plant Protection, Record Group 165, Box 2.

Well today I was going to go and talk to my Fiance about how I felt. But! He was suppose to be here at 8 to pick me and my daughter up and now I can't even get a hold of him. Now I must say I am even more disappointed. Any advice on how I should go about this. I dont want to over react.
This is the first post:
Tomorrow I was suppose to see my Fiance. Were in a ldr and we talk a couple times through the day. Tonite however our nite call was very short like 2 mins if that, because he was going out with his friends. No problem, but I was hoping he would take time out to at least talk to me for the little 10 mins we do normally. But instead he was rushing me off the phone and not taking trying to give me my time. I asked him if he could call me when he got back home, and his reply was I'm going to see you tomorrow. I didnt want a hour or 30 mins just 10 if that. Sometimes days are harder to get through when I'm not with him, now im not sure if I even want to go tomorrow to see him. He tells me he misses me so much but when his friends come into the picture he throws me off for them. Am I wrong to feel this way?

Thank you very much. It's really a pleasure to be here at the conference again. I want to congratulate the Herzliya Conference and the IDC again, General Rothschild, Harvey Krueger, so many good friends, Ambassador Cunningham. Good to have you all here. And of course, Mrs. Cunningham.
Let me tell you that I do not look at the relationship between Israel and the United States as a dependence but more as an interdependence; although if there was a dependence issue here, I wouldn't want to be dependent on any other country other than the United States. Now, it is true today that with the global changes which get accelerated, no country can live alone. Globalization, I think, unites economies together and commercial interests together; technology, of course. And although we see a convergence on a global scale in the fields of economy and technology, we see that politically there is considerable fragmentation. So, certainly no country can live alone. No country can be without an orientation and without cooperating with like-minded countries.
And I believe that the natural bond between Israel and the United States is just as such; it is a natural bond based on what you mentioned, Arnon: interests and values, and common threats unfortunately. But even more than that, it's an ethos that binds us all together for many years. And I think what makes the relationship between Israel and the United States so unique is the fact that it's not just government-to-government relations; it is really peoples-to-peoples. It is a matter of community relations.
And you go across the United States, from coast to coast, from south to north, and you find people who are just lovers of Israel, and for many reasons. And these are not just Jewish communities; these are also Christian communities, Hispanic communities. We see it in business communities. We have to remember that the United States and Israel are not just bound by strategic or military or intelligence interests but also economic interests. So Israel is very proudly the largest market for the United States, in the entire region of the Middle East. We buy more American products and services than any other country surrounding us, which also I think has a great weight in the relationship.
So it's a multifaceted relationship. This is why, when I look into the future, based on everything that we described, and although interests may vary or change, ideology and ethos do not. And the United States, I think, is unique in the fact that as a superpower it doesn't just predicate its policies on interests but also on ideals; and in many ways, so does Israel.
So if I look into the future, I do not see any substitute or alternative to the American presence and influence here in the Middle East and beyond. I think anyone who believes that there are going to be any quick changes in the international arena – they're either maybe wishful thinkers or I'm not sure that they read the picture correctly. The United States has always been able to reinvent itself, especially in times of challenges. And I would dare say that Israel too is a country which reinvents itself almost every generation or decade.
So as I read the fundamental factors in the United States, as we speak, I think they are already gearing out of economic recession. And without a doubt, and sooner than many think, they will reestablish and reassert themselves as the one economic locomotive that actually drives growth all over the world. And the same will go strategically; the same will go politically.
I think that we in Israel should be very proud that we belong to the American camp, the Western camp. If I look at the United States, and also the political system in the United States – which I think is second to none in terms of not just representability but also governability, which is another issue that we lack, and I would very much like to see our system more like an American governance system – and I compare the American governance system to anywhere else, whether it's Europe with all the fragmentation there, and we see the challenges that they have to bring the EU together, and there are still many problems there, economic and political. If I look at China, with the asymmetry between the economic system and the political system, or I even look at Russia – I don't think that in the foreseeable future we will see any challenge to American leadership. And I, again, want to emphasize that American leadership is not just a leadership out of power; it's also out of an ideology which we all share.
So I think that the relation is just very, very beneficial to both, and I'm very proud to be the best friend and ally of the United States here in this region and beyond. Thank you.

Chris Hemsworth might do the Snow White sequel without Kristen Stewart
As much as I want to attribute this news to Kristen Stewart's very public and very embarrassing scandal where she cheated on Robert Pattinson with her SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN director Rupert Sanders, the truth is that Universal has always said they might move the sequels forward by focusing on Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman character and not Snow White. So it should come as no surprise today that Universal is slowing down the planned Snow White sequel while they regroup and decide where they want to take the franchise. As reported earlier, after SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN raked in over $56 million in its opening weekend, Universal set the wheels in motion to make a sequel. At the time, it was believed that the big three of Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Stewart and director Rupert Sanders would all be returning. But now it seems that Kristen Stewart might be the odd woman out while the series could focus on Chris Hemsworth in more of a spinoff type role. No final decision has been made at this point, but it's believed Universal is eager to keep the franchise going and I would assume they'll finalize the story soon.
As for Kristen Stewart, it will be interesting to see what her scandal does for her career. Sure, many actors and actresses have survived worse scandals, but it seems that K-Stew may have alienated the Twilight fan base that made her a star to begin with. Regardless of how many independent films she does, every actor needs a franchise to keep the money rolling in. As for Chris Hemsworth, it's hard to argue with his star power with THOR, THE AVENGERS and now The Huntsman, he should be able to keep big and steady paychecks coming in for years to come. (Deadline)
So what do you think? Is focusing a Snow White movie on Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman a good idea, or should they bring back Kristen Stewart as well?
