The ad for weight loss said "This Christmas gift your husband another woman" or something to that effect. Two minutes later my friend stood in front of the mirror and panicked "If I don't move my butt – read flabby – it really will be another woman. Good God!"
You empathise with her. Being all squishy like a bean bag and creaky as a rusted hinge is definitely not a good thing. You'd love to exercise but you stand in front of the gigantic hurdle faced by every Superwoman professional – The word 'BUT'. "BUT I don't have the time." "BUT where can I exercise?" "BUT I get home so late. BUT I have to spend time with the kids." So what's the fix? Make a career of fly-fishing? Send the kids to boarding school and get the husband to cook (which is not so bad an idea the more you think about it.) You've been through all the diets. The Protein Diet to the Fruits Only diet. And you look less like Naomi Campbell, and more like the women from the Renaissance paintings.
So what do you do? You could always sneer at the 'ugly bulimic things on fashion TV." But that will get you nowhere.
Here's hope. As I've discovered, between dirty dishes and dangerous deadlines, the strategy is sneaking the exercise into the gaps in your schedule. Not creating a separate time slot but letting it become a part of the ordinary everyday things that you do.
Research shows that you don't have to eliminate major food groups from your diet or become a competitive athlete to lose weight. Concentrate on small changes and you'll see a big difference a lot faster than you think. So here are a few low-impact exercises that strengthen the heart and tone up the muscles. Exercises designed to make getting on the weighing scale an occasion to throw a party and invite all your friends, relatives, neighbours, even the saleswomen who directed you to maternity section at the clothes store. Routines that will tone up distinct muscle groups. Pectorals or chest muscles, biceps or arms and obliques, those muscles now considered 'in'.
Now before you run in the other direction – which will also be good for you if you keep going for 100 metres every day – let me reassure you. You don't have to go attacking the Nautilus machines. Do not have to invest a fortune in trainers. And the lycra, well you can save for after you've metamorphosed into Elizabeth Hurley or Madonna. I'd like to call the regime the 'Let's get out the black lingerie and surprise husband" fitness routine. Yes, I know you want to feel fit and younger, blah blah blah, but we're talking big incentive here. Of course you could also choose "I'm going to get into that mini skirt" or " the mechanic won't look under the car when my bones creak."
Now considering you spend half your life at home, half your life at work and the other 200% getting from one to the other we'll start there.
Exercises while Travelling
In the car:
Stuck in a traffic jam? Turn off the ignition, take off those shoes and pretend the brake and accelerator were the pedals of a bicycle. Then move feet as though you were pedalling. And when you stop at the signals do a few neck exercises. Bend your head forward and then far back, then sideways left to right. This loosens the muscles and stretches the spine, invites a few puzzled looks. Watch for the signal.
In the train:
If you're a regular train traveller here's three simple fixes. Of course you can always get a free massage if you travel second class but we're not discussing that now.
- Raise one arm to reach for the grips. Pull. Then drop the arm to your side. Follow the same steps with the other.
- Another routine to follow and very good for the calves is to lift both feet off the ground a few inches. Stay in that position for a few moments, then drop heels to the floor. Remember that that the train is in motion and grabbing the emergency chain will only find you in prison with ample time to exercise.
- The train is actually a good place to practice a good ten or fifteen minutes of Leg Lifts. Sit up straight. Lift your leg to waist level. Hold for a few seconds. Drop. Next leg.
At the bus stop:
A close friend finds that the best place to pace is the bus stop. She paces like she was outside the maternity ward waiting for her husband to deliver. She figures if a person walks 140,000 km in a lifetime she better do it now when she doesn't have a walking stick for company. She also makes sure she stands tall. Consciously pulling her stomach in, contracting her stomach muscles and relaxing them. The therapist says it's equal to doing a few crunches. And done coupled with floor crunches a day, at a 45 degree angle, could give you a toned tummy flat as a washboard.
At the Workplace
At the desk:
Now let's march to the workplace. Like your smart grey cells have already guessed, you don't have to leave your work desk to exercise. Sit in your chair, back erect. Then bend from the waist down to try and touch your toes. This 'Touch Toes' method is supposed to make your back more flexible, increase your range of motion and flatten your stomach. Keep a picture of Brad Pitt at your feet, as an incentive to reach down again.
During meetings:
At some time of our lives we have to walk away from our desks to meetings. Now while I wait for a meeting to begin, I attempt a few Leg Lifts. Of course all this happens under the privacy of the conference table and out of touching distance of the CEO who should not be provoked to sue for sexual harassment. Sit up, back straight. Lift leg up to chair level keep there till you feel the slightest pull, for about ten seconds then lower to the floor and repeat with the next leg. During meetings, while everyone is looking intelligent while doodling daisies I give my shoulders, arms and chest muscles a good workout. Clasp my hands together at chest level and press against one another for a few moments, then let them drop. Or I concentrate on my rear. Contract the buttocks, then relax them. Again and again. It is known to tighten the muscles and combined with sit-ups, give you a tush that could belong in Baywatch.
While reading a report:
Get a little inventive and you could workout while you're reading a report or while on the phone. The neck rotations recommended while at a traffic signal are perfect while you make those business calls. Besides relaxing the taut nerves they flex the upper spine. The creaking you'll hear in the beginning is just your body reminding you that you have 33 vertebrae in your neglected backbone.
Now while you race through that interesting report on "What amoeba do in their spare time" flex your hamstrings. Face the table. Place your foot on a table that's about hip high or a chair, whichever feels comfortable, and let it stay there while you read. You will feel the stretch in your thigh.
Change leg. Do the same routine standing side ways, to stretch the inner thighs. Another innovative fat-free exercise at the work desk is lifting two fat books as substitutes for dumbbells while you ideate. I would suggest you don't overdo it…unless you want to be auditioning for the female version of Terminator.
Take the stairs:
Finally whatever happens I will be a fanatic evangelist for 'Taking the stairs.' A definite must-do. Plug in the walkman. And play "Sexy thing" from the Full Monty or "I'm every woman" by Whitney Houston. And from those shapely legs and envious looks I can tell you'll soon be burning more than just calories.
In the ladies' room:
Some more routines for work. Don't just use the ladies wash room to powder your nose but to touch your toes. Ten counts and you'll be a new person. Ready and raring to make your presentation. And don't just use the potty to think. Do some Shoulder Curls. Place hands on shoulders and rotate your arms, clockwise then anti-clockwise. Ten times each arms and raise the level every week. Soon you will have converted your arms from the flabby somethings that promised to evolve into wings to what will only make men melt when you get into a sleeveless number.
Conduct short discussions with a colleague as you walk – not stroll – around the office building. The change of environment will stimulate the brain into generating new ideas. And bring your legs into circulation again.
On Home Ground
When you're done at work welcome home. To another spot reduction technique: Try to touch your nose with the tip of your tongue. Get rid of the double chin.
In the kitchen:
And while you're in the kitchen don't just stand there watching the milk boil. Stand facing the kitchen platform a few feet away from it, hands resting on it. Now slide down on your haunches then raise back to standing position. Ten everyday and you should be able to pull out the pair of Elvis the back of the cupboard since 1975.
While watching TV:
And if you want to watch TV do it at an angle of 180 degrees. A position that will be a lot more beneficial in the long term. Stewart Smith, Author of Five Star Fitness says you can work out during commercials (10 to 12 minutes per half-hour show) or while watching your favourite shows. Smith suggests stretching and strength-training exercises that can be done while standing, sitting or lying in front of the television. So prepare for "Letterman Lunges" and "Primetime Pelvic Lifts", the "Brady Bunch Crunch" or the "Oprah Obliques." I personally believe that 'happy' hormone serotonin released during exercise will make the news sound less depressing but for those who want to raise the 'inspiration from envy' factor, I'd say exercise during Baywatch.
In the shower:
Round off the routine with a dance in the shower. Pretend you are Jennifer Lopez. Blast the music. Wiggle the hips and waist then take a measure tape to them and see the difference. And while you're at it, exfoliate the skin with a loofah. The circular movements will tone arms, while it loosens cellulite on the thighs.
In the bedroom:
And last but certainly not the least. A friend discovered an amazing book on exercise. It's called the Kamasutra. And if you've heard that sex raises heart rate, it's true. It is one of the best ways to stay fit. Not to mention bring back the fire into your relationship. And unlike other exercise routines there is little chance of boredom., which of course, could always be taken care of by trying a new position.
So keep an open mind. Use up every spare moment you get and it will add up to half hour of a good work out everyday. Of course, in the beginning you will start to notice aches from muscles you can't believe existed. And if you feel like giving up just visualise the woman you'd love to present your partner this anniversary. And how you'd like to gift-wrap her.

Ethos, Pathos and Logos in Select Articles
In the five identified articles, Ethos, Pathos, and Logos have been used. Ethos is the form of persuasion where the persuader convinces the person of interest based on his good moral character, his goodwill, and good sense (Henning, p. 14). However, in the changing world, where one's influence is now based on the outward appearance or the material possessions, the perception of ethos has changed, and is not based on a person's moral character, but on his influence. Pathos is the persuasive argument based on engaging the party's emotions to make him agree with the persuader. The persuader gains support of the person he or she addresses by creation of some emotional sense in relation to the subject of interest. Logos involves convincing the other party basing one's arguments on logic. Logical appeal may be inductive based on creation of a conclusion from a series of similar results over a period (Stockwood and Spiro, p 19). Alternatively, it can be deductive where a certain amount of similar results in the past is taken and used in the creation of a conclusion. The conclusion does not always apply in all cases. When deducting the argumentation employed in any story or article, it is important to understand the background of the characters and the topic in question. The context in which the character was compelled to convince others of the correctness of his argument is also important. The unifying elements in the five different articles are their basis of argumentation and the principles involved. The Aristotle's argumentation have been applied variedly based on the situation fro example in the story "Where are you going, where have you been?" there is a man, Arnold, and a 15-years-old girl, Connie. Arnold uses the Pathos argumentative approach to convince Connie to come along with him, since he threatens her family's safety if she refuses. In the story by Arthur Clarke, "The Nine Billion Names of God", the theme is about monks trying to come up with all the possible names of God, which would consequently lead to the end of the world, as God's purpose for the man on earth would be completed. In this story, relating to the moral character of monks, indicates the application of the Ethos principle where the monks put out their argument to the computer operators. In the short story "Man to Send Rain Clouds", the argumentative principle applied by the two brothers to the priest was by appealing to his emotions, as they knew that the priest had a helping heart, so they were certain that he could not refuse to help them. In "The Declaration of Sentiments and Revolutions", the women are outraged, fighting for their freedom and their rights. This occurrence is explainable based on the logical theory that is the Logos Aristotle's argument, where women are convinced based on the logical evidence available. "My people" is a speech by Chief Seattle towards the white settlers about their disregard for ancestral land. This emotive speech applies the Pathos principle, as it reaches human character on reverence for land and the dead ancestors.
Where are you going, where have you been?
The theme of this article can be described as informatory. This is because the author provides information about how kidnappers use persuasive language when they want to get their victims. The claim of this article is about Connie who is left alone at home only to encounter a stranger who wanted to kidnap her. The audience of the article include parents and young individuals who may fall victim to the tactics used by kidnappers. The tone that has been adopted in the article is descriptive. This is because the article describes how events takes place in the story. In one instance, the author narrates how Connie related with her mother and other members of her family including the father and elder sister (Oates, p. 1). In addition, the author offers a description of how Connie is visited by the...

US screening of controversial Russian film ends in ruckus
WASHINGTON (AP) — A controversial documentary that claims that a Russian whistleblower whose death in prison had inspired a major U.S. human rights law was responsible for the very fraud he had accused Russian officials of perpetrating was shown in Washington on Monday, drawing harsh criticism from his supporters.
The screening at Newseum ended with the shouts "Shame" and "Lies" from the audience and a planned question-and-answer session turned into a heated exchange between supporters of the late whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky and the movie director, Andrei Nekrasov.
Magnitsky died in a Moscow prison in 2009 at the age of 37 after accusing Russian officials of stealing $230 million from the government in tax rebates using the companies that he represented. The Russian presidential council on human rights said he was beaten and denied medical treatment in jail. Magnitsky was a lawyer for William Browder, a British-American investor who made millions in Russia after the Soviet collapse, but then was expelled from the country in 2005.
FILE - In this Nov. 30, 2009, file photo a portrait of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in jail, is held by his mother Nataliya Magnitskaya, as she speaks during an interview with the AP in Moscow. A documentary premiering June 13, 2016, at Washington¿s Newseum is generating controversy by claiming that late Russian whistleblower Magnitsky, who had inspired a major U.S. human rights law, was responsible for the very fraud he had accused Russian officials of perpetrating. (AP Photo/Alexander Zemlianichenko, File)
Magnitsky's case has become a symbol of human rights abuses and corruption in Russia. In 2012 Congress passed a law in his honor that imposed sanctions on nearly 40 Russian officials deemed implicated in the case and in other rights violations. The sanctions, which Browder actively lobbied for, involve travel bans and asset freezes in U.S. jurisdictions. Russia reacted by banning American families from adopting Russian orphans, citing safety concerns.
Browder has denounced the movie as a smear campaign and has succeeded in blocking its screening in Europe. But the Newseum, a museum dedicated to media freedom, stood by its decision to rent its theater for the screening, saying it is a matter of free speech.
In the film, which blends elements of a documentary and actors re-enacting Magnitsky's time in jail and other scenes, Nekrasov disputes the widely accepted narrative that Magnitsky was arrested and abused in jail because he had uncovered a massive tax fraud scheme perpetrated by Russian officials. Nekrasov, who has made movies critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin, claims that Magnitsky never actually accused two police officers at the center of the case and contends that it was in fact Magnitsky himself who perpetrated the tax fraud. But a transcript of Magnitsky's testimony to Russian investigators, which Nekrasov references in the movie, shows him naming the two police officials before his arrest many times.
Nekrasov also alleges that Magnitsky was not tortured in jail, even though there are photos showing multiple bruises on Magnitsky's body and a prison report saying that a rubber baton was used against him.
Nekrasov claimed that Browder, who has been convicted of tax evasion in Russia and sentenced to prison in absentia, invented the Magnitsky story as a public relations stunt.
"He made up the Magnitsky story so that the accusations of the Russian government against him would be regarded as politically motivated," Nekrasov told The Associated Press ahead of the screening. Nekrasov said he initially set out to document Browder's version on the events in his film, but then discovered evidence that changed his mind.
Browder vehemently denied Nekrasov's allegations and said the film is an attempt by the Russian government to get the Magnitsky Act repealed. Browder's campaign has led several countries, including the United States and Switzerland, to open money laundering investigations and freeze assets in connection with the fraud.
"It's part of a Kremlin-sponsored smear campaign to try discredit the Magnitsky Act and to ultimately repeal the Magnitsky sanctions," Browder told the AP. "This movie is spitting on the grave of a Russian hero who stood up against Russian corruption and gave his life for his principles, and it's a terrible insult to his family who are still deeply traumatized and destroyed by what the Russian government did to their husband and their son."
Russian Embassy spokesman Yuri Melnik said that statements that the Russian government was trying to influence U.S. legislation were "completely groundless."

Wrapping presents is one of my favourite holiday to-dos. When the boys were younger, I liked to choose one paper for each boy. This helped to keep things organized come Christmas morning when excitement is at a fever pitch. Now it's about me. When the kids are in bed, I spread out the wrapping and all the accoutrements pour myself a glass of wine and get started. Wrapping is my thing – do not ask me to cook the turkey dinner.
Wrap It Up!
I remember as a teenager reading in YM Magazine that Tori Spelling's mom had a room devoted to gift wrapping! My giddy reaction was a sign for me to stop reading teen-y bopper mags and make the move to Living and drool over Martha Stewart's organized gift wrapping station at her Connecticut home. I don't have the room nor the inclination to give up precious real estate to a gift wrapping station, but I do make sure that I have a fully stocked box of supplies before I start. I discovered the store Creative Bag, and they have everything you need for the holidays from party supplies to ribbons, bows, and a swoon-worthy collection of papers.

LONDON -- The FTSE 100
But wherever the index overall is going, many individual companies in the various FTSE indexes are performing well. Here are three that have gained today.
Gulf Keystone
Gulf Keystone Petroleum perked up 4% to 213 pence after announcing a significant development in its Shaikan Field in Kurdistan, Iraq. In what was described as an important milestone, the company told us it has submitted a Declaration of Commercial Discovery for the field, and it will now move on to creating a development plan.
Gulf shares have been erratic this year, but they've put on a strong 47% since the end of June, and there are strong forecasts for 2013.
Lonrho, which invests in agriculture, infrastructure, and other sectors in Africa, rose 5.8% to 8.4 pence on the release of interim results that saw like-for-like revenue up 29% to 123 million pounds in the six months to June 30. Gross margin increased by 3.6% to 25.6%, and net debt was reduced by 23% to 78.7 million pounds.
The boost came mainly from the company's focus on agribusiness, but its no-frills airline FastJet (backed by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou) helped it to a 32.5 million pounds pretax profit, up from 23.7 million pounds. A dividend is expected to be introduced in 2013.
Dixons Retail continued its strong run with a 3% rise to 16.5 pence on the acquisition of a further 22% of PIXmania for 8 million pounds cash to add to the 77% it already owns. PIXmania owns the e-commerce platform that Dixons uses in the U.K. and Ireland, and the buyout improves Dixons' control over its online and other multichannel business.
Dixons shares have gained 72% since their 2012 low point in January, suggesting the high-street retailer has turned the corner, with forecasts suggesting nearly 30% earnings-per-share growth this year and a further 40% next year. However, there won't be much of a dividend for a while.

The Kesgrave Conference Centre, Ropes Hall, Twelve Acre Approach, Kesgrave IP5 1JF.
All the details are now on Suffolk Coastal website – there is only 1 item on the agenda - a report on the progress of the LDF/Core Strategy. Here is a link to the agenda page
You can click on to the report headed "LDF update and next steps" to read the report – the section on the JR shows a misunderstanding of the legal process or perhaps is deliberately misleading. There are a number of additional documents for the meeting including the following. Appendix C gives the list of all respondents – it is not in alphabetical order or submission order so is difficult to check. It is interesting the those described as "developer" are at the top of the list whilst "pressure groups" are at the bottom . It is also interesting that they have put Suffolk Wildlife Trust into this category along with NANT and STAG. Anyway, if you made a representation you might like to check that your name is included.

I've just compiled the version MySQL 8.0.12 in a Ubuntu 16.0.4.
After following the instructions in the website and making the following my.cnf file:
[mysqld]datadir=/usr/local/mysql/datasocket=/tmp/mysql.sockport=3306log-error=/usr/local/mysql/data/localhost.localdomain.erruser=mysqlsecure_file_priv=/usr/local/mysql/mysql-fileslocal_infile=OFFlog_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log# Remove case sensitive in table nameslower_case_table_names=1
I get the following error:
2018-08-11T19:45:06.461585Z 1 [ERROR] [MY-011087] [Server] Different lower_case_table_names settings for server ('1') and data dictionary ('0').
What should I change so that data dictionary is aligned to server settings?
So this is the brief:i need to input something like:
BaSe fOO ThE AttAcK
and return:
attack the base.
As you can see to decode this i need to start by reading the words in reverse order and if the first letter of the word isupper() then make it lowercase and append it to a list which i will later print. This is what i have so far:
# Enter your code for "BaSe fOO ThE AttAcK" here.default = input('code: ')listdefault = default.split()uncrypted = []for i in range(len(listdefault)): if listdefault[:-i].istitle(): # doesn't work i = i.lower() # dont know if this works, Should convert word to lower case. uncrypted.append(i)solution = ' '.join(uncrypted)print(solution)
Can someone show me how to get this program to work? Says that i can't use the istitle() method on a list type..
I have a table like this on postgres. the table below is a part of a CSV file which has been imported into a postgresql Database using "fast-csv" library via node.js:
------------------------------------names | slug------------------------------------St.John | ------------------------------------Prince-Duke Ed |------------------------------------
I'm trying to generate the data from column "name" and put it in column "slug" by lowercasing it, replacing spaces with dashes, and cleaning special characters like dots.
I couldn't find any syntax in Knex.js to do this duplicating and manipulating data . How can I do this using Node.js dynamically?
I am trying to run a query using Eloquentthe $vars['language'] is in lower case but the language column is not necessarily in lower case. How can i do this search using eloquent but still have the lower case in the query
Item::where('language', $vars['language'])
What i want to do is this even though i can't find anywhere how to do this
Item::where('LOWER(language)', $vars['language'])
so that they are both in lowercase and then i can get them to match.
Here's my data:
Id var_map1 {'email_count': 3.0, 'outgoing': 90.0}2 {'Email_Count': 5.0, 'outgoing': 91.0}
What I did is
df['var_map'] = score_data['var_map'].str.lower()
The result is different with why I expected, the error is are this
Id var_map1 NaN2 NaN
How do I suppose to solve this

Siem Reap, aptly called 'Temple Town' for reasons related to the stunning Angkor temples, has slowly emerged with offering a new wave of products and services for customers who want to add a bit of variety to their stay, and what not better than seeing the landscape from above and leisurely from a biking saddle. Once exploring with us, you will see a different side of Cambodia's varied tourism opportunities. From soaring through and above the canopy and pedal towards the impressive Roulos Group, this day of fun-filled activities will result in some stains and sweat, but the pleasure will be lifted to new extremes.
Your guide and driver are ready to transfer you from your booked accommodation in Siem Reap at around 08:00 hrs in the morning. The drive through Siem Reap and its rural surroundings will take approximately 30 minutes to the starting point of the bicycle trip, away from Siem Reap's town centre. It is green and rural all the way this morning, starting from the first bend over not-always smooth paths further into the reign of nature and farmland. Accompanied by an expert of the Siem Reap countryside, the next 15 kilometres (in total 1 hour and 30 minutes' cycling, excluding rest and photo stops) will bring you to the authentic side, where farmers tend their fields in an effort to bring the finest and freshest produce to the customer and where tree lines, dusty roads and the occasional local settlement with its hospitable residents. Cambodia's invigorating way of life can hardly be better portrait better than when pedalling leisurely and with ample stops to satisfy your needs to document your experiences. The tour ends at a local Buddhist temple, where fresh coconuts are served to quench your thirst before we head back in the direction of Siem Reap. Lunch is not included in this full day experience.
With memories of the lushness of Siem Reap's countryside still fresh in your mind, it is zip lining time! A stone's throw away from the magnificence that is called Angkor, we head to one of the most challenging and adrenaline-pumping activities around Siem Reap. Keeping quality at incredible high standards, the people behind this zip line adventure will ensure that you will be able to maximize on fun without a single shred of worry. With the safety briefing done, it is zip lining all the way into the late afternoon. The area covers anything from heights up to 50 meters and swooshing through the tree lines up to 350 meters with the canopy so close, you can almost touch it. You'll experience the thrill of sky bridges, suspending between trees, learn the basics in proper abseiling and enjoy short hikes between starting and ending points of time among nature.
Additional Information
Hotel pickups commence prior to this time, you must contact the local service provider to verify your exact pickup time.

Products & Technology
Technology Overview
About the Lumicell System
The Lumicell System was designed by leading engineers and scientists in partnership with leading breast cancer surgeons to fit seamlessly within the existing surgical workflow. The Lumicell System is in late-stage development for patients undergoing surgery for breast cancer and also under investigation for colorectal, esophageal cancers and brain metastases.
LUM015 is an optical contrast agent that targets the tumor microenvironment and is designed to fluoresce near cancer cells at the tumor margin when activated by proteases.
LUM 2.6 Imaging Device is a hand-held (15 cm x 3.1 cm), lightweight (500g) single-cell resolution imaging device, designed to fit into the lumpectomy cavity to scan for residual cancer at the margins. Proprietary decision software produces real-time images indicating location of residual cancer.
Clinical Studies
Lumicell has completed two clinical studies to date:
- A Phase 1 safety study at Duke University Medical Center in the lead indication of breast cancer as well as sarcoma with no adverse events observed
- The first part of a two stage feasibility study at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) demonstrating the first ever use of the Lumicell System for invivo imaging in breast conserving surgeries. The study results show that the LUM Imaging System differentiates between tumor and normal tissue in vivo and ex vivo with administration of LUM015 just a few hours before the surgery with no impact to pre-operative and surgical workflow. Most importantly, it displayed 100% detection of residual cancer. Based on these results, the feasibility study has been expanded into a larger cohort of breast cancer patients in which the Lumicell System will be used in vivo to guide the resection of tumor and evaluate the reduction in positive margins and re-excisions.
The company is starting Part B of a two stage feasibility study under an FDA-approved IDE in breast cancer at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Clinical trial information can be found here https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02438358.

In a Chinese firework shop you find both fireworks and crackers.
- Originally fireworks were associated to happy events such as Chinese new year
- Crackers were used both for sad and happy events such as a burial, a wedding (EDIT I was mistaken... sorry). In fact, firecrackers are thought to have the power to fend off evil spirits and ghosts that are frightened by the loud bangs.
Nowadays it doesn't matter that you use for fireworks and crackers.
The more noise and the more lights, the better.
Hunan Province his a world famous producer place for fireworks. Most companies are based in a city called Liuyang and they export worldwide. Liuyang is the birthplace of firework. A Chinese monk named Li Tian, who lived near the city of Liu Yang in Hunan Province, is credited with the invention of firecrackers about 1,000 years ago.

As intellectual property valuation experts, we have been asked to analyze the impact of negative statements about a business that were classified as either defamation or disparagement. Although the definitions differ, the financial and economic impact can be substantial and tends to have the greatest effect on the value of a company's brand and reputation.
'Defamation' is defined as "the act of making untrue statements about another that damages his/her reputation. If the defamatory statement is printed or broadcast over the media it is libel and, if only oral, it is slander" (www.dictionary.law.com). 'Disparage' is defined as "to speak of or treat slightingly; to bring reproach or discredit upon, lower the estimation of" (www.dictionary.reference.com).

Here is today's vestry prayer which I posted on Thursday but for some reasons has disappeared from the blog.
Ordinary 16.
Readings: Mark 6 v 30-34 + 53-56; Psalm 89 v 20 -37;
Eph 2 v 11- 22; 2 Sam 7 v 1 - 14a.
Lord of the miraculous we gather for worship today acknowledging that we abide in heavenly love and that we have no need to fear.
Help us to remember this Lord as we sing your praise, read your word and bring our prayers to you.
Use your servant N to speak to us today, help us to hear as they bring your word and to act upon that word being doers of the word as well as hearers.
We ask all these things in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl has been moved to the top of my to be read pile.
A few of my girlfriends loved it, and are insisting I read this book ASAP before the movie comes out on February 14th. Looks like I'll have plans with my girls on Valentine's Day!! Yay me!
From Goodreads
Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.
In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.
Ohhhhh, "….one secret could change everything." I'm very intrigued by this story being told from Ethan's POV, so we are discovering Lena's world through his eyes. Different.
Who's read this book? There are mixed reviews.

Topic 1 | Political Stability in the Middle East
+ More Information
The Arab Spring is one of the great political upheavals in our era. It spread like wildfire and upended the politics of the Middle East and North Africa. The string of democratic revolutions, however, also precipitated bloody civil wars and widespread turmoil. Some uprisings were successful, some were not, and a few are brutally ongoing; all led to increased political and social instability in the region. That instability has led to humanitarian crises, skyrocketing refugee populations, famine, and persecution. It has devastated economies and jeopardized regional trade. Even though most countries are not at war, many face significant and destabilizing issues. This topic seeks to address that volatility and improve political stability in the Middle East.
Topic 2 | Protection of Indigenous Minorities
+ More Information
Indigenous populations are one of the most at-risk groups in the world facing an array of cruel circumstances and severe treatment. From uneven laws to outright persecution, indigenous groups are rarely afforded the same rights and treatment as citizens of the country in which they live. Indigenous peoples are disproportionately affected by environmental destruction, have significantly shorter life expectancies, and are culturally ostracized. Even in developed nations, they suffer far greater rates of medical problems than others. This topic seeks to address this humanitarian inequality and improve the livelihood of millions around the world.

Copyright ©2016 OFFICE OF THE SHERIFF - PIERCE COUNTY, GA Privacy Policy
Rev. Jason W. Long, (912) 282-2201, email: firstname.lastname@example.com
It has been proven that the law enforcement profession is both emotionally challenging and physically dangerous. The Georgia Sheriffs' Association Chaplains' Division is part of a state-wide strategy for equipping an effective and efficient law enforcement chaplaincy response team.
Chaplains serve the entire sheriff's office, from uniform patrol to special operations units. They specialize in caring for the unique needs of the law enforcement family, providing services such as:
· Spiritual Counseling
· Death Notification
· Post-Shooting Counseling
· Disaster Response Teams
· Family Relationship Enhancement
· Weddings
· Memorial Services
· Post-Traumatic Stress Counseling
· Professional Referrals
All counseling services provided by the GSA Chaplains are strictly confidential.
Law Enforcement Chaplaincy is a Called Ministry
Serving as a chaplain for law enforcement officers is a called ministry. It is not for every pastor or layperson, but for those who have a heart for the men and women in uniform. Those who are called to protect society are a closed and close-knit family. They face the evils of the world with which the public cannot identify. The chaplain's role becomes a ministry of presence to let the sheriffs and their staff know that someone cares, someone is there for them without passing judgment, and someone is praying for them.
Ready to Stand
Law enforcement chaplains must arm themselves with the knowledge they will need to stand and be prepared for situations that arise on a daily basis in the sheriff's office and other law enforcement agencies. The Georgia Sheriffs' Association Chaplains' Division offers basic and advanced certification training programs to prepare chaplains to minister to the staff of the sheriff's office. Each year, chaplains from all over the state meet to hone their skills and learn how to become an asset to the office or agency they serve.

Legal toothfish fishing occurs in a number of regions around the Antarctic continent, in the high seas waters of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic, as well as in several Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) in the Southern Oceans. An EEZ is a declared region of water, out to 200 nautical miles from the coastline of a country, which that country is responsible for in terms of resource management and control over fishing and other activities.
COLTO members operate in many of these regions, including waters surrounding territories of Argentina, Australia, Chile, Falkland Islands, France, South Africa and the UK. Unfortunately, in the past there were some unscrupulous operators who also chose to operate illegally in those regions, and COLTO members worked and continue to work together with industry, governments and conservation groups to keep these illegal activities at bay.
COLTO is proud that our toothfish fisheries are well managed (7 of which are now MSC certified as sustainable and well managed), and that effective surveillance and enforcement exists to stop illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing activity. Since 2005, there has been virtually zero IUU fishing in any of the main EEZ regions, or the Ross Sea (which is the only substantive CCAMLR high seas fishing region), and since 2015, with Sea Shepherd's Operations Icefish 1 and 2, IUU fishing on the high seas for toothfish has been virtually eliminated.
We do recognise that, left unchecked, any remnant IUU activity that may still exist in some of the high seas areas has potential to spill over into the existing well managed and sustainable fisheries. From 2006, that IUU activity shifted from demersal longlines to demersal gillnets and also moved from Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) to Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni).
Governments, industry, conservationists and international management groups have worked very hard to combat IUU fishing, and COLTO has contributed to the successful reduction in IUU fishing for toothfish, with a recent study concluding COLTO was the second most influential body (behind CCAMLR) in substanitally reducing IUU fishing in the Southern Ocean. With our international industry linkages, we have a unique ability to provide assistance, support and surveillance information to Governments, managers and conservation groups in the fight against IUU fishing.
In the past, COLTO has worked with conservation groups to publicise and identify IUU operators, their companies, boats, individuals and trading names. This has helped the public be more aware of the need to buy legally caught toothfish products, and demonstrated the actions being taken by legal industry members to ensure the toothfish that they are eating is sourced from sustainable, well managed fisheries in the southern oceans.
In total, COLTO members represent legal catches of around 85% of the total global legal production of toothfish, which is around 30,000 tonnes (green weight).

The gold price is treading water today, failing to find a direction but according to some, a further break to the upside is inevitable as the year unfolds.
According to James Luke, fund manager at Schroders, the market has got it all wrong, and higher interest rates in the US will not be a burden on the gold price and if history is anything to go by the precious metal will rise right alongside interest rates,
"Although past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, the gold price has tended to rise from the beginning to the end of Federal Reserve hiking cycles. In the last four instances when the Fed embarked on a hiking cycle, in three of the four instances gold saw +10% to +20% returns from beginning to end."Mr Luke said
"The environment for gold investments remains positive. In the background, global record debt burdens have not magically vanished. These make global growth highly sensitive to any real increase in interest rates and the cost of servicing these debts. He added.
Also according to Mr Luke, another driver of the gold price will be when investors begin to diversify their portfolios away from Assets such as real estate and the stockmarket to reduce exposure and mitigate risk,
"Given investors' high exposure to the traditional asset classes, there is an urgent need to find uncorrelated and attractive alternative investments. Liquid and tangible portfolio diversification options are limited, making gold and gold related investments unique and of use to many investors". He said.
Risk warning: Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, your level of experience and preparation of taking risk. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or of all of your initial investments and therefore you should not risk more than you are prepared to lose. Please seek independent financial advice if necessary.

Q: Is it true that caffeine-containing drinks have a diuretic effect and result in a loss of fluid?
Q: How accurate are scales that claim to measure body fat percentage?
Q: Are beets a nutritionally sound choice?
Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN
American Institute for Cancer Research
Q: Is it true that caffeine-containing drinks have a diuretic effect and result in a loss of fluid?
A: No. Despite the popularity of this long-held belief – even among some health professionals – research does not support it. While it's true that caffeine in large amounts can temporarily increase urinary fluid loss, studies show that beverages containing moderate amounts of caffeine, like coffee, tea and soft drinks, hydrate our bodies just as well as drinks without caffeine. When it comes to calculating daily fluid intake, caffeinated drinks should be counted along with other liquids.
Q: How accurate are scales that claim to measure body fat percentage?
A: These scales merely estimate body fat by measuring how much resistance your body provides to a tiny electrical current. The scales rely on bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA), which evaluates how current is slowed or stopped as it passes through various materials. More body fat equals more resistance. Based on that resistance and other information you enter (including height, gender and age), the scale uses predetermined formulas to calculate an estimate of your percent body fat. While these scales can produce results close to the "gold standard" method of underwater weighing, studies reveal that the estimates can vary. In general, the scales tend to be better for watching changes in body fat over time, rather than for pinpoint accuracy in identifying body fat or for measuring short-term change in body fat.
Results are affected by anything that changes your fluid balance, including consumption of alcohol or caffeine, medications, hormonal changes, recent exercise, drinking or urination. For best results, test yourself at the same time of day and try to keep all of the above influences consistent. Also be sure to follow directions for cleaning and standing on the electrode spots. When purchasing a body fat scale, choose among models carefully. Since the body fat figures are based on standardized calculations, people who exercise even a few hours a week should get a model with an "athlete" mode that uses an adjusted calculation.
Q: Are beets a nutritionally sound choice?
A: With a low calorie content despite their sweet taste, beets are delicious and nutritious. They are an excellent source of folate, a B vitamin that is essential for producing and repairing DNA and may play a role in cancer protection. In addition, their red hue results from the presence of betacyanins, a type of phytochemical with antioxidant properties that may provide additional heart and cancer protection. Animal studies suggest that beets may also prevent carcinogen formation and increase production of immune cells and enzymes that help fight cancer development. To best preserve the nutrients, eat beets raw (for example, simply peel them and grate into salads). While canned beets are still nutrient-rich, gently home-cooked beets are almost three times higher in folate and twice as high in potassium. Cooking beets at home is easy. To start, leave about one inch of the stem intact to minimize color loss while cooking. Next, roast them in the oven or steam them lightly. Finally, pop the beets out of their skin after cooking and enjoy; you might want to wear rubber gloves at this point to avoid temporarily pink-stained fingers.

Is it possible to display a document on two displays without mirroring? I have a cintiq 13 HD and a large NEC monitor.
