Most religious dogma defines how to demonstrate submission, and can become a social cause if other people accept the dogma as truth. Your acceptance of religious claims is identifiable through your religious behavior.
Religious behavior is shown by ritual submission - often by coordinated body movements that signal compliance. The rules for religious behaviors are culturally transmitted - the external triggers for such behavior such behaviors include authoritarian commands and symbols, while the internal triggers include feelings of anxiety, rage, loss or gratitude.
In most communications, the word "god" is
synonymous with the word "luck".
Watch people in military organizations saluting and parading, watch political supporters and football fans chanting slogans. Ritual behavior requires a show of faith - a show of believing ideas that cannot be proved. Yet if you accept a proposition by faith, you may become unable to judge that proposition by evidence.
Many religions seem to have failed because they were too complex. A philosophy beyond the comprehension of average people must be simplified into a dogma - and the people who do the simplifying may be called saints.
Religions are as irrational as atheism.
The word heresy is from the Greek hairesis, which means "choice". People who prefer to choose may have to evade bigotry, persecution and murder by people who prefer to comply.
What is Spirituality?
Spirituality has so many meanings. Spirituality can refer to an ultimate reality or a way to stop thinking or the purchase of ornaments. Some practices, such as meditation, prayer and contemplation, are often hoped to lead to experiences of connectedness with a larger reality, with a 'true self'; with other people or with a divine realm.
Most religious people will leave you alone if you leave them alone.
Our spiritual coaching has inspired or helped many people orient themselves. We help people explore immaterial realities and transcendental experiences - without dogma. We also help people replace unwanted habits or deadly sins with desired behaviors.
Spiritual counseling requires clarity, preparation and a proven methodology. We often help people explore experiences that some call ecstatic or enlightening (see Psychobiology of Enlightenment).
Evidence or Faith?
Judaism, Christianity and Islam were founded
on a story of a man
People who demand verifiable or testable evidence before they show submissive behavior may be called agnostic, atheist or worse. Members of tribal or authoritarian societies may be punished if they do not show appropriate submission or if they criticize accepted dogma. Members of multi-cultural societies have more choices, including a choice of whether to not engage in submissive behaviors.
... almost any sect, cult, or
religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires
The primary consequences of religious behaviors are acceptance by people who behave in similar ways and rejection by people who prefer to show other or no submissive behavior. Religious behavior is rationalized by dogma and bounded by taboos. If people who consider themselves religious break their taboos - they may burden themselves with guilt and risk ritual punishments.
Consequences of Religious Dogma
Adults who age regress become more naive, more eager to comply and easier to manipulate. Common ways to induce age regression include threats that elicit emotions such has anger, sadness, fear and guilt. Age regression and compliance are often produced by speeches about punishments - both before and after death.
Blasphemy is the disrespectful use of the names or claims of accepted esoteric entities or religious dogma. It includes using sacred words as stress expletives.
Fundamentalism is a disease.
It is an invasive, violating thought-virus
Consequences of Religious Faith
Faith includes believing what cannot be proven. Although there appears to be no hard historical evidence that the biblical Jesus, Joseph or Mary ever existed, millions of people have faith that they lived, and that they are still alive, over 2000 years old.
Primacy: what you believe first you
believe longest ...
Most children adopt their parent's beliefs, no matter how irrational. Most children taught a belief system, will follow it without question. Children who question an adult's beliefs may be punished. Religious education is sometimes synonymous with child abuse.
When people damage their inner
You can learn about a religion, philosophy or therapy when you see how it shapes the behavior of those people who use or follow it.

By Barbara Liston
SANFORD, Fla (Reuters) - The SeaWorld killer whale that drowned his trainer in 2010 in Orlando, Florida, was known for refusing to let go of objects he found in his pool, a senior trainer said on Tuesday in a federal hearing.
But a SeaWorld executive, in the same hearing, defended the safety of close human contact with killer whales and noted that the company had recorded just one other trainer death before Dawn Brancheau was drowned in front of park guests in 2010.
SeaWorld is challenging federal safety charges against the resort that stem from the drowning of 40-year-old Brancheau, who was pulled underwater by Tilikum, a 12,000-pound orca bull, in front of park guests.
The most serious charge leveled by the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is classified as a "willful violation," meaning SeaWorld showed "plain indifference to or intentional disregard for employee safety and health."
The theme park company faces a $75,000 fine. More importantly, SeaWorld might be forced to end physical interaction between trainers and killer whales, company lawyer Carla Gunnin had said in her opening statement on Monday.
Performances at SeaWorld's Shamu Stadium long featured iconic moments of trainers surfing on the backs of killer whales and getting launched from the whales' snouts. But SeaWorld trainers have not performed or interacted in the water with killer whales since Brancheau's death, with one exception in a medical emergency, Gunnin said.
Senior trainer Lynne Schaber, called to testify by federal lawyers at the hearing in Sanford, outside of Orlando, said trainers had to receive special approval from management to work with and touch Tilikum.
A separate section of the trainers' handbook was devoted specifically to Tilikum because "we did not get in the water with him," Schaber said.
"Tilikum displayed behavior that he did not return objects in the pool ... I could assume, possibly understand, that it could include people," Schaber said.
SeaWorld corporate animal curator John Tompkins defended close interaction with killer whales, testifying that trainers were able, because of their training and experience, to predict the killer whales' behavior "to a very high degree."
In the two decades before Brancheau's death, Tompkins said trainers filed 101 reports about episodes in which they thought a whale might become aggressive.
Of those reports, 12 involved trainer injuries. One death occurred in December 2009 at Loro Parque in Spain, which is not owned by SeaWorld but uses SeaWorld whales, trainers and training procedures.
After investigating the 2009 death, which was attributed to human error, the company did not believe an overhaul in safety measures was needed, Tompkins said.
"We didn't feel like we needed to make radical changes," Tompkins said. "It's human error. It doesn't mean the process broke down."
Tompkins and other SeaWorld employees testified that trainers are taught to recognize "precursors to aggression" to protect themselves from physical harm.
On Monday, SeaWorld Orlando animal curator Kelly Flaherty Clark testified that Tilikum gave no indication that he would act aggressively toward Brancheau, one of the Orlando theme parks most experienced trainers, before he pulled her to her death.
Federal lawyer John Black had said in his opening statement on Monday that SeaWorld's primary method of protecting its trainers from killer whales was to teach them how to recognize visual cues indicating an animal might turn aggressive.
"Relying primarily on training the trainers to be careful leaves gaps," Black told administrative judge Ken Welsch, who is presiding over the hearing.
The proceedings are expected to last a week, and a final ruling could be months away.

The Life & Love of TreesBook - 2009
Life and love of trees
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
This is a Treasure book, full of 1-2-full-page spectacular images taken by various international photographic artists. Absolutely stunning, a treat for the eyes and food for the soul. Leaf through it quietly with your feet up and a cup of tea. (re "description" and other "comment" - scary / friendly trees? Trees are as are all trees - harmless other than that we much more intrusive and careless species might be in their way).
Very large coffee table book.
I am very interested in trees and the book has beautiful pictures but I could not get into the text although I found the quotes both inspiring and interesting.
I would have preferred that the pictures were labeled in the body of the book rather than in small print at the end.
Worth taking a look at.
Pretty much all photography, with a bit of text. I prefer photos of friendly trees, so there are only a couple of photos where I might have taken a close-up of some feature but not of the whole thing.

We thought it best to move this from the Garritan forum to the main page.Originally Posted by thesoundsmith
Thats a great question. So what is the answer? I would love nothing more then to post full details and beta demos but I must refrain from doing so. I will share what has already been posted on our users forum and take the liberty to omit
From our perspective, being that of using most all the significant organic instrument and choral libraries, we think Giovani is somewhat of a different breed. While most libraries go for perhaps an overly polished, almost surreal sound, Giovani has a really nice intimacy to it. Sort of what you would expect a "real world" childrens choir to sound like. It doesnt sound like it has been auto-tuned to death, which is certainly fine by us.
It is just that Giovani is different. Not airy or spacey, but real. We also really like the room that the children were cut in. Sits nicely in mix.
mgr, Legacy Lab / USA
What I can say from what I have used of the library so far is, that the voices sit very nice and easy in the mix. They add a real natural vocal feeling to the music. As with DIVA, Giovani will be rather useful for soft and atmospheric or angelic music. The sound is very pure and human. The VC concept (Vocal Control) will make it easy for the vocals to sound even more real.
Markus Schmidt
As a Classical Music trained composer looking for Classical Music simulation tools, I'm really happy participating in the test: the Giovani library is something that a performer musician or a choir director can really appreciate. The nice sound and the natural recording of samples are working with an interesting set of expressive controllers. The final result is a rendering, the nearest to real performance I actually may expect from a PC based tool. If the final release will be similar to the beta preview we are testing, I think that also Music Academies and Composition Teachers will be VERY interested.
The sound is then respecting the reality, and you wont find here thundering power or screaming "fff", and no icy pure distilled sounds (that no boys choir in the world is able to produce).
My humble opinion is that the benefit of a real sounding choir (emission, intonation, noise, ambience) will be enjoyable even in more fantasy oriented soundtrack mix, or every time a touch of intimate realism is requested.
Best Regards
Fabio Vicentini / Italy
A view from the other side...
Well you're heard here some experiences with Giovani by some pro's, but I thought I'd chime in with a review from the normal guy. You know, the guy with not so perfect pitch, not so good hearing, and not so good at music.
Anyway, Frank let me hear Giovani some months ago and I was lucky enough to put it through some paces recently. My initial reaction with this library was one of supreme enjoyment. There is an unparalleled intimate character to the voices that really lends itself well to the style I associate myself with. This is not to say that Giovani isn't just as capable at other types of music, but I feel that Frank was aiming at dark, romantic, intimacy with the character and nailed it.
The actual sound of the environment in which Giovani has not presented any problems to me while mixing and is a very nice sound. I've heard some dialog that an impulse will be included for those that want an easier mix. The overall dynamic level of the library has been much debated, but I feel that where it is now is perfect and usable for most any type of music I've placed it in. And of course, you may adjust that at will yourself from within your sampler of choice. The sound? Giddily wonderful. The other guys are right. It isn't 'in your face' or 'clinical' or 'mechanical.' Its a living, breathing sound. If you want it to be, its haunting. If you like lifting, it can do that to. Versatile, capable, and beautiful. What more do you want?
There's a lot of good programming on hand to give users ample ways to use the library. Particularly the Vocal Control and Attack Control. I won't bore you with too many details/words, but let it be said that these two programming features make it infinitely easier to fit Giovani into your tracks. Without it you'd be much more limited on the use of the library.
Giovani, at current, is simply stunning. Nothing sounds sampled. The ethereal tone of the children begs the attention of the film composer.

I wanted to be inspired by finding someone like me, who is not the fastest runner. I wanted to feel connected to another 'average' runner.
I still love reading blogs - Skinny Runner, Hungry Runner Girl, Sweaty Emily, Ali, and Sarah Oual - you know the girls - but I will admit that they all seemed to run at a pace that will forever be out of reach for me. But they give me hope.
And with none of my friends into running, I love reading running blogs and books because I can feel like I'm having a 'conversation' with a friend about running.
And when I had read every post and got myself caught up on all the running blogs I read religiously, I needed something else to read. So I started with the books. And there are some really great running books out there folks. Not just the technical books that lay out training plans, but the ones where people lay everything out there for you.
And needing a bit of inspiration these days - I picked up this one I've been meaning to read for quite awhile:
In honour of this awesome read, I thought that I would share with you some of the other amazing 'running' books I've read. In no particular order:
This books has inspired so many since it was written - it's a great read.
- Running on Empty by Marshall Ulrich
- The Long Run by Matt Long
- Mile Markers: The 26.2 Most Important Reasons Why Women Run by Kristen Armstrong
- Run! 26.2 Stories of Blisters and Bliss by Dean Karnazes
- Eat & Run by Scott Jurek
Have you read any running-inspired reads that I haven't mentioned? Or do you like/dislike any of the ones here?

Question: My daughter is 15 months old and never slept through She is a very restless sleeper, tossing and turning the whole night, waking up 8 – 12 times a night. In the beginning I tried to keep to a strict bed time routine making her sleep in her cot but eventually I could not do it any more and just let her sleep in the bed with me and her dad, as it was easier to just lay next to her and pat her back to sleep, than get out of bed 8 times a night.I am now trying to get her to sleep in her cot again but I am not having any luck. I am letting her fall asleep in her cot and not in my arms, but this is very frustrating and the process contains a lot of tears. She then sleeps for maybe ½ an hour – 1 ½ hrs and then she starts waking up and crying continuously. I try to pat her back to sleep, sometimes it works (but not for long) it usually does not work as she just cries & cries & cries and I eventually give in and just put her back into bed with us, where she still continues to wake up through out the night. Savanna goes to crèche during the day and they say that she has a nap between 10 & 10.30am and she usually sleeps for about 1hour to 1 1/2 hours she then has another nap at 2pm and usually sleeps for 1/2 an hour. Then when I pick her up at 5pm we go home, she has her dinner (that's also a problem, because she is very fussy and usually does not have much to eat in the evenings, sometimes nothing) then bath time is around 6.30 / 7 and then a bottle (formula) and bed. I have spoken to the crèche about her eating and they say she eats very well during the day.I don't mind co-sleeping but her dad gets a bit irritated as she is so restless and keeps him up. But we will try anything to improve her sleep!!Also she had a dummy from when she was 3 days old and I took it away about 3- 4 weeks ago... I cut the tip off and she eventually would not take it anymore, I don't now if that may also be the reason why she is so restless, but even when she had her dummy she still did not sleep.What else can I do to get her to sleep in her cot and through the night ( I don't mind if she wakes up 2 – 3 times a night but not 8 – 12 times!!)Kind regardsChanelNote: There is a follow-up post at 17 months here: 17 month old daughter still won't sleep ...Heidi's Answer: Hi Chanel, There's a number of possible reasons for Savanna's restless sleeping. She may be in a sleeping schedule that does not fit her well and so have developed irregular sleeping patterns. She may be having food during the afternoon that keeps her from sleeping well. She may have a structural bone/vertebrae problem which often remains hidden during the day but results in difficult sleeping (because lying down is not comfortable). The co-sleeping will not be the single cause since she sleeps restlessly when in her cot too. Still, even if your presence may be enough to reassure her, it can also wake her up from time to time. Also not having the dummy anymore may indeed play, even if she did not sleep much better before, it can still be a factor. You have been doing very well with keeping a regular schedule and having a recognisable evening routine. The patting and putting back to help her sleep in her cot was good too, but as you have noticed it is not guaranteed to work.To help you find better sleep for Savanna, I suggest the following:1) Change her sleep schedule: You will need the crèche's help here because it would be best to shift the afternoon nap to later, say at about 3.30-4pm, when she'll probably sleep a bit longer and then come home less tired so she can have a good meal. I know crèches do not always have enough flexibility for different nap times but you should be able to negotiate a temporary change in the schedule, just so you can test the effect on Savanna's sleeping at night (which may be quite important).2) Avoid stimulating food or drinks like sugary (fizzy) drinks, sweets, chocolate, … Keep in mind that the stimulants take several hours to leave the body so do not offer them from the afternoon onwards. 3) Decide on one sleeping place: I think both her cot and co-sleeping can be good for her to sleep well but it is important to pick one place and stick to it consistently. If you choose co-sleeping then decide to keep it like that for now (and do not try the cot irregularly). Or, if you choose the cot, be consistent with that and do not transfer her to your bed at night, 'giving in'. From your story, I would be in favour of the cot. Babies who start co-sleeping at a later age (i.e. later than birth) often sleep restlessly in their parents' bed because they are less used to sharing the bed. So you may be waking her up more than she would in the cot. On the other hand, she may need your presence for reassurance and therefore be scared when alone in her bedroom. A cosleeper (side car bed, such as the Arm's Reach Cosleeper) or placing the cot in your room may be a good middle solution then.4) Work with self soothing: Let me refer you to this page on self soothing. Work with the gentle progressive method (putting down asleep then half asleep first, then drowsy, …) at naps or night time bedtime and also when she wakes at night and use the extra tips as well. It may take a little while but it's more than worth your patience. Being able to self soothe will also help her find sleep again during the nights, waking (you) up less frequently.5) Try a new dummy: Since she's practically always had a dummy, this may not be a good time to take it away. Unless of course you think she wakes up because she loses it at night … You may need to try out a few models but having a good dummy she likes, can be a great help right now.6) Get a health check: make sure nothing is bothering her. An osteopath specialised in babies may spot a nerve in her spine that got stuck or similar, and that may make her uncomfortable when lying down and wake her up regularly.While doing all the above for a couple of weeks, keep a sleep log. Write down when she goes to sleep and when she wakes up. Also at night if you can, but if it disturbs your own sleep even more, do not bother to scribble during the night but try and note it down the next morning.If we see no improvement after a few weeks, we'll then work on with these logs.Good luck for now!Thank you for sending in the lovely picture, she may not be a great sleeper (yet!) but she is a real cutie!Kindly,HeidiCheck the follow-up post here: 17 month old daughter still won't sleep ...

While many businesses wind down at the end of the year, Dawsons have been increasing their staffing levels in readiness for another busy New Year. With more than 13 sales and lettings branches throughout Swansea and Llanelli, Dawsons were looking to recruit staff for several new roles within the company which will bring their staffing levels to more than 120.
Dawsons are a locally-owned business, established in 1991 with many years' experience in the field of Residential and Commercial Property Sales and Rentals, together with their highly successful Auction Department, Land and New Homes, Survey, Financial Services and Fine and Country Departments. 2017 proved to be another very successful, busy year with the acquisition of a smaller local letting agent and to top it off winning the Relocation Agent, Best Agent Regional Winner 2017.
The new staff (pictured above) were all employed in the last quarter of the year and are spread throughout the company covering several different roles from Administrators, Sales and Lettings Negotiators, Inspectors to Mortgage Advisers,. They bring with them a diverse wealth of knowledge and experience within their field.
Dawsons Sales Director Jo Summerfield said: "We strive to employ the highest, quality staff to ensure we uphold Dawsons core value in delivering excellence. Customer service is key to our hugely successful operation, therefore maintaining, year on year our No 1 position of independent agents."

Love these tables Review by CMAC
Love these tables, but I would buy them from another store. They told me 1-4 weeks for delivery up until the 4 week point. Then they said it'd be another 3 weeks. After constant complaining it took a total of about 6 weeks to schedule a delivery. (Posted on 7/24/14)

DURHAM, N.C. – After tallying a goal and an assist over the weekend, including the game-winning score against No. 16 Florida State, Duke sophomore Ella Stevens was named to TopDrawerSoccer.com's Team of the Week, the publication announced Tuesday.
This is the fourth TDS Team of the Week honor for a Blue Devil this season, as senior Imani Dorsey earned the honor three-straight weeks from Sept. 5 – 19. This is the second TDS honor of the season for Stevens, as she was named to the TopDrawerSoccer Third Team Preseason Best XI on Aug. 14.
Stevens began her weekend with an assist on Duke's second score in a 2-0 win against the NC State Wolfpack, sending a cross into the box to Ashton Miller, who flicked it to Chelsea Burns for the score. It was the team-leading fifth dime of the year for Stevens.
The Grayson, Ga., native followed it up with a spectacular one timer on Sunday, putting one touch on a Dorsey cross and banking it in off the right post to put the Blue Devils up 1-0 in the third minute of play. Her third goal of the year was also her second game winner, as she put in the game winner in a 2-0 victory against Auburn on Sept. 3.
Stevens' efforts helped lead the Blue Devils to their 13th-straight victory, extending the program record streak set in a Sept. 21 win at No. 18 Notre Dame. It also pushed Duke to a 6-0-0 ledger in ACC play, marking the best start to league action in school history.
The sophomore helped keep the Blue Devil attack at the top of the charts statistically, as Duke finished the weekend atop the ACC and 16th nationally with 33 total goals. Duke's 2.36 goals per game average stands second in the conference and 20th in the nation.
Stevens joins teammate Schuyler DeBree as the second Blue Devil to earn a weekly honor on Tuesday, as the senior defender was named ACC Co-Defensive Player of the Week.
Led by standout performances such as Stevens' and DeBree's, the Blue Devils held strong at No. 4 in all three polls on Tuesday. Duke has been ranked in the top five in the United Soccer Coaches, Soccer America and TopDrawerSoccer.com polls for four-straight weeks.
The Blue Devils also remained at No. 4 in the latest NCAA RPI rankings, which were released Monday.
After taking down the Wolfpack and the Seminoles, Duke will now turn its attention to its final home match of the regular season on Sunday, Oct. 15. The Blue Devils will host the Miami Hurricanes on Senior Day, with kickoff set for noon ET. The match will be broadcast on RSN. Fans can also access the broadcast on ACC Network Extra, which can be accessed on WatchESPN.com and the ESPN app.

Like a Lilliput around the titanic Grecian columns of the Olympieion, in a brazen ochre haze of eroded limestone and very few people around, I suddenly felt the thrill to have made it, to Hellas. After a pocket-friendly ride with Etihad and Aegean airlines from Bombay (Price INR 17K only! Check out tips and tricks to bag cheap flights in a separate post following soon) we reached the city where you can hop from 2016AD tram to 550BC Hadrian's gate in few minutes. Without a wormhole. It is amazing how modern urban life warmly embraces the historical remains.
With history spanning over 3400 years, with established glory as the cradle of European culture and extremely tourist friendly infrastructure, Athens was our first destination of choice in Europe. In blogs and other conversations Athens' economic crisis often come up as a big question mark to the tourist safety and other travel issues. But once in the fairly cosmo atmosphere, helpful citizens and cultural grandeur will be the first things you notice. Metro rails, suburban railways, trams and ample buses make Athens transport scenario fairly easy. The Greek alphabets are only too known to anyone who have studied even a li'l bit of maths and working out the names on you own becomes a fun. Free maps are tugged in roadside posts for free tourist reference. The city is big but in a 3 day tour you can only rush to finish the central attractions.
We stayed in Evaggelismos, a very nice neighborhood, only about a kilometer from Acropolis. With generous help from downloaded off-line google maps we took shortcuts like pro-Athenians and reached the first ever Olympic stadium of the world. In every tourist site you can see the hop-on hop-off buses, generally crammed with elderly touristy crowd. The buses are convenient but I would suggest walking as the roads are clean and there is so much to watch all around! Just like this little florist shop on the roadside:
"Ruins", as they call it, are really a big pile of rubble saving some huge structures who still stand today defying all challenges of time and …my,..my…their immaculate precision, the geometry and sheer size awes you, the hike across Athens Acropolis slopes, on a bright sunny day to the very top to reach Parthenon, The temple of Roma & Augustus, The alter of Athena and the view of entire Athens from the top make it all worthy. The theatre of Dionysos where ancient Greek drama took birth and flourished still stands with the rounded galleries and central stage, broken but proud, the idea of such an open air theatre was conceived at such an ancient era. Goose-bump-ey stuff.
Exploring the urban web of ancient Athens encompassing whole of Acropolis hill and its slopes through main roads, such as the street of tripods, we moved without a guide, following tell-all history plaques without any problem. Audio guides from rick Steeves kept us informed. Downloaded offline google maps made navigation easy. We shopped groceries, gobbled peaches, hunted for vegetarian food, tasted suvlakies and falafels, sipped greek frappe, bnb'ed in a local greek Naval architect's home and I secretly eyed awfully handsome greek policemen who were everywhere ensuring tourist safety.
On the road, outside Acropolis grounds, a greek kid played a song in her flute. It was "Teri meri prem kahani" from Bodyguard movie. I later found out the song has plagiarism claims from "La Betleem Colo-njos" , a Romanian carol. Weird things like this sum up to our travel and that is what keeps us going.
Some quick helpful facts:
1. Flight cost booked 4 months ahead of travel from Mumbai/Delhi to Athens can come down as low as INR 15K per person.
2. 3 day accommodation in comfortable BnBs around Evaggelismos/Kritonos cost around INR 7K for a couple room.
3. Greek VISA will cost around INR 6K per person and take a maximum of 2 weeks to get issued.
4. A detour to beautiful Santorini/Mykonos islands for 2 days can be taken for an added budget for INR 30K for 2 people. Refer post Santorini: Five absolute budget hacks
5. Athens sight-seeing consists mainly of the 6 stop for 30Euro per person. This will include Acropolis and slopes, Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, The library of Hadrian, Olympieion, Kerameikos, Lykeion of Aristotle.
Of the above mentioned 6 places Acropolis and slopes and Olympieion are the most beautifully preserved. The rest of the sites are more ruins than actual structures, frankly. If you are not a major history buff and cannot switch on your imagination then you may find these a little overkill. In that case consider taking separate tickets for Acropolis and Olympieion at the Acropolis gate. Students with valid student IDs will have free entries! Check out the Syntagma Square at the city center and watch the drill of guards at the Greek Parliament, feed the numerous pigeons and ride the red touristy tramcars. The Athens tram is a beautiful mode of transport, take a ride to the Pireaus, Faliron beaches, 30 mins from city center. The beaches are pristine with crystal blue water and rocky golden sand. The best part is that the beaches are very calm with very few people around (I don't know if it was so for the particular day I visited). A serene afternoon in the beach with a drink watching the sunset can be very relaxing. The ride back to the city in tram is also scenic as a large part of the track is parallel to the coastline. With the opening of the coastal tram and the continuation of the Athens Metro all the way to Glyfada, the towns of the Athens Gold Coast, or the Athenian Riviera, specifically Glyfada, Voula and Faliron, have seen an influx of foreign travelers. And why not? All these towns are really extensions of Athens with shops, restaurants, cafes and the one thing that central Athens does not have: the Aegean Sea.

First releasing in November 2013, the PS4 has been on the market alongside Xbox One for almost five years. Of course, we've had iterative upgrades with PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, but many are still waiting for news of the next generation. Could we receive an announcement on such a thing soon?
Trusted Reviews has compiled everything we know about PS5 including all the latest news, rumours, potential specs and more.
PS5 news and rumours – what's the latest?
Bethesda's Pete Hines has dropped some cryptic hints regarding the next generation, stating that the company is "privy" to a few things. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Hines said, "I'm privy to some stuff which obviously I can't really talk about, but there is also a lot that I'm not sure on what it's going to look like. And more importantly how big a shift we can expect."
"How much of that will change [with the next consoles], I don't know," Hines continued. "The rest of it doesn't matter to me because I'm not drawing art or coding or designing. What really matters is what the developers think. What do they need and what are the kind of power and features they are looking for."

In other news, A Kotaku report states the PS5 may not arrive until 2020 at the earliest, which may disappoint some, but it's hardly surprising considering how successful Sony has been of late. With the PS4 and PS4 Pro so far ahead of the rival consoles from all parties, Sony won't be in much of a rush to spend vast sums of money releasing new hardware.
According to the report, many developers questioned, including those at Sony's first-party studios "have not yet been briefed on the existence of a PlayStation 5."
Schreier writes: "In summary: There is information about the PlayStation 5 floating around at both first- and third-party companies, but it's far more limited than it would be if the console's release was imminent."
PS4 and PS4 Pro continue to sell incredibly well and the system's exclusive library has plenty of support leading into 2019 with titles like The Last of Us Part 2 and Death Stranding still to come.
Buy the PS4 Pro from Amazon UK | Amazon.com
Whether it's next year, the year after or the year after that, the PS5 will certainly become a reality at some point. Trusted Reviews has compiled everything we know including a wishlist for the potential hardware.
PS5 release date – When is the PlayStation 5 coming out?
Sony hasn't actually said a thing about a new console – yet. The PS4 continues not only to be the current best-selling console on the market but one of the best sellers in history, so it makes sense to not announce a successor yet.
Microsoft has come back swinging with Xbox One X, so the PS4 is no longer the dominant machine from a specs perspective. Logic would point to Sony having to respond in some fashion.
Related: PlayStation Mini
PS5 dev kit – Is it already in the wild?
Coming from SemiAccurate (via ResetEra), the outlet is reporting on potential specifications for Sony's next console, claiming dev kits are already in the hands of developers.
According to the article, PlayStation 5 will use AMD's Navi as its base architecture while it will utilise a Zen CPU from the same company.
Virtual reality "goodies" will be baked in at a system level. If true, this suggests Sony has no plans to abandon PlayStation VR in the coming years.
However, we at Trusted are taking this rumour with a very generous pinch of salt for numerous reasons. Firstly, the PS4 is still the best-selling console on the market, despite Microsoft's efforts with the Xbox One S and One X. So although Sony may well be thinking about its next console, actually dishing out dev kits seems very premature.
Secondly, putting a dev kit together all but locks in the hardware specs for the machine, meaning that said hardware already begins to age. Minor adjustments can be made, but the core capabilities of the supposed PlayStation 5 will be there. Considering our belief that Sony won't be launching the PS5 for a good while yet, it would be surprising to lock in hardware specifications at this stage, which could be massively outdated come launch.
PS5 Specs – How powerful will the PlayStation 5 be?
Again, without any announcements, we can't fully assess what the PlayStation 5 will look like from a hardware perspective. We can, however, take a look at the competition, and see how Sony will compete.
Let's take a look at the Xbox One X. It has an eight-core 2.3 GHz CPU, paired with 12GB GDDR5 memory and a GPU sporting 40 compute units operating at 1172MHz. In layman's terms, this is a mid-range 2017 gaming PC, but with lots of clever software and hardware tricks to squeeze maximum performance out of it.
Related: PS4 Pro vs PS4
As is ever the case with console launches, manufacturers have to balance cost with performance. The PS4 has been so wildly successful because it's been able to offer better performance on third-party titles over Xbox One.
Now the balance of power is swinging in Microsoft's favour (albeit with a more expensive console), Sony will want to redress that and offer a console even more powerful than the One X. Or perhaps Sony will be able to counter with a less powerful but better-value console come that woolly 2018 launch date.
PS5 Price – How much will it cost?
As we don't even know its specs, we can't accurately guess how much the PlayStation 5 will cost.
The Xbox One X currently retails for £450 or so. Knowing this, Sony will probably aim for a similar price point if it hopes for its next console to remain competitive.
PS5 Backwards Compatibility – What can we expect?
At the launch of the PS4 Pro, system architect Mark Cerny clarified this was not the start of a new console generation. "I believe in generations. Generations are a good thing. So, philosophically, we believe in them. We believe they continue, and this is a mid-generation release," he is quoted by Gamasutra.
Sony was at pains to make sure consumers saw the PS4 Pro, a modest improvement over the base console, as a mid-cycle refresh.
Microsoft, meanwhile, sees the One X as the beginning of the end of console generations. Microsoft's head of marketing, Aaron Greenberg, told Engadget "We think the future is without console generations."
Both with very different outlooks, but both doing something important: allowing players to carry over their game libraries.
Related: Upcoming PS4 Games
Sony made a misstep in a lack of PS4 backward compatibility. Microsoft capitalised by offering extensive Xbox One backward compatibility via consistent updates, with new games added almost weekly.
Both Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, as they're not fully fledged 'next-gen' consoles, play all current and future Xbox One and PS4 titles respectively, but with improvements over being played on base consoles.
The PlayStation 5 simply must offer backward compatibility so that all PS4 games work on the machine.
PS5 Games – What will we get?
2017 has offered some of the best PS4 games the console has seen. So let's look at which series are due a sequel and judge which titles might be around at launch of a new console.
With the likes of God of War, The Last of Us Part 2, Spider-Man closing out this generation, those series are pretty much locked down for the foreseeable future. Plus with Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy and Persona 5 all available now, we wouldn't be seeing those titles arriving with the PS5.
It'd be more likely we'd see brand-new IP with the new console, or a return of an old favourite like Infamous or the Resistance series.
PS5 VR – Will we get a new headset?
PlayStation VR has proven a big success for Sony. Even today it's hard to find a headset in stores or online.
It also has a great library to support it, with new releases arriving on the PlayStation Store frequently for current owners of the headset.
Related: Best PSVR Games
However, as a console VR headset, it naturally couldn't match the power and fidelity of its PC counterparts. If the PS5 is significantly more powerful than the PS4, could we see a hardware revision to offer a better virtual reality experience?
It would make sense, as Microsoft is planning on offering VR with the Xbox One X, though based on the company's showing at E3 this won't be a big push at all.
What do you hope to see from the PS5? Are graphics top of your list or do you just want a huge list of great exclusives? Lets us know on Facebook or @TrustedReviews on Twitter.

Robert and Martha Hanrott
About Us
We live in Washington DC and London and enjoy writing and creating music together.
Robert studied singing under the opera singer Anne Ferry, and has sung with the Malcolm Sargent Festival Choir, Swanbank Music in London, and the New Dominion Choir in Washington D.C. He wrote and recorded an album of songs in collaboration with lead guitarist, Mick Wayne, available on this website. He has a head full of melodies and wishes he remembered the names of people as well as he remembers music and lyrics from the past.
Martha studied music theory and orchestration at Catholic University and has had private tuition on harmonization and arranging of melodies with Scot Hawkins. She is currently studying classical and jazz piano at Levine School of Music with Jeffrey Chappell.
Our first joint composition was the incidental music for Studio Theatre's production of Alan Bennett's "Talking Heads" in 1996. We then wrote two one-act musicals (one for children) and a full-length musical based on the life of Pamela Harriman. Latterly, we have concentrated on composing chamber music and short piano pieces with the advice of several experienced composers — Andrew Simpson, Jonathan Leshnoff and Massimo Flugelman. Our first chamber piece was a cello sonata, now on this website. Other compositions will appear here as they are professionally recorded. We would like to thank all those who have helped us along the way!
We have three publications, also described on this website:
- Telling Tales, a book of short stories inspired by our walk from Canterbury to Rome in the summer of 2000.
- Foxtails: the Adventures of Freddie Fox, a CD of stories with music for adults and children.
- Hippos on Holiday, an adventure book of cartoons for small children
And we have web pages featuring political satire, light verse and poetry, and cartoons. The political satire comes under the heading of Mild Subversion; it covers topics ranging from events in the Middle East to "Sound Science".
Finally, Robert runs the Epicurus Blog, whose objective is to make the ideas of the Greek philosopher, Epicurus, relevant to the modern world.

PICKENS COUNTY — Upstate Saving Pickens County Animals (SCPA) has announced the agency is waiving all adoption fees for the first 50 animals adopted out of the facility, effective immediately.
Sharon Johnson, media relations for the county stated in a release the agency was pleased to announce the first animal was recently adopted out — an abandoned puppy.
"A family was heartbroken after someone stole their beloved dog," she said. Although nothing can heal the heartache of losing a pet, the family made the decision to give another animal a second chance.
According to Johnson, the family searched for weeks for their missing dog before they gave up hope of being reunited.
While searching through the Upstate SPCA website, the family found a 6-month-old Doberman Pinscher puppy available for adoption.
They drove from Williamston, S.C. to take him home.
Johnson said the family had adopted before and was prepared to pay the adoption fees but were pleased to find there was no cost thanks to the recent promotion.
"Your loving pet is waiting for you at the Upstate SPCA in Pickens County," said Johnson in the release. "All you have to do is find the right pet and take him home. It's that easy and free for families of the first 50 animals adopted from the shelter."
Johnson said the fee is being waived due to the high number of animals in need of a home and also to help spread the word as the agency expands its services throughout the county.
"Our pets have been vaccinated, spayed and neutered and now need a good home," she said. "You can also help Upstate SPCA animals in so many ways."

text: ← back to list September 22, 2014 @ 05:35 PM Dancing to an upbeat rhythm It's back and now more affordable than ever. By Arvinda Kumar It's back and now more affordable than ever. By Arvinda Kumar It's been the question on everyone's mind since Honda teased of the new Jazz being cheaper than ever before and their promises have been kept. new Honda Jazz Grade S will retail at RM70,704, while the middle child, the Grade E for RM77,522 The and the top trump Grade V at RM89,974. Accessory packages include the Mugen and Modulo packages for RM4,900 and RM2,650 respectively. There's also a DVD multimedia package which is a RM3,220 option. Power comes from Honda's 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine capable of producing 118bhp at 6,600rpm while 145Nm of torque becomes available at 4,600rpm. The Jazz sees the return of CVT gearbox, although this time spruced up with Honda's Earth Dream's tech. Central to the Jazz's prodigious versatility is its new ULTRA Seats. They can be folded and flipped into four modes to accommodate anything from bags to bicycles. Lovely new features now grace the interior such as touch panel auto air-cond and audio. Start/Stop button and LCD meter clusters. The Jazz is also chalked full of safety features such as six airbags, vehicle stability assist (VSA), ABS and hill-start assist. Reverse sensors are also standard fare. Five colour options are on offer which now graces newer Honda design ethos. This includes sharper looking headlamps and a beefier grille up front, to a pronounced shoulder line leading up to handsome looking rear LED tail lamps. The new Jazz is offered with a five year unlimited mileage warranty and a new maintenance schedule of 10,000km service intervals. Honda is ready for your orders. 10 questions to Honda about the Jazz's tune. Q. If I place a booking today how soon may I receive my Honda Jazz? A. If you book your Jazz today, you should receive your car within a month. However the lead time could possibly vary based on booking volumes. We have also worked closely with our panel financial institutions to provide interesting finance packages with low or even zero percent down payment. Q. Is there a reason the 1.5-litre "Earth Dreams" four cylinder powerplant was not chosen for the locally offered Honda Jazz? A. The engine choices are widely based on the evaluation of regional market requirements. Therefore, the 1.5-litre i-VTEC was chosen due to what suits the context of this product best. Also, it's an engine that we feel suits local driving conditions and driver's requirements more precisely. Q. Is the 'Smart Entry' system fitted to the Jazz the same as the unit on the Honda Accord where you don't need the key to open the door. A. Not exactly, one still has to push the button on the door handle to unlock the doors. Once inside, press the 'Push Start' button for engine ignition. Q. We understand that Honda has achieved significant weight reductions for the new Jazz, where have these reductions been achieved? A. A 10% reduction has been achieved from the car's body in white versus the old car. The redesigns of the door's interior panels have netted a reduction of 3kg. Even the engine and gearbox have gone through a weight pinching exercise. Q. Are there intentions for Honda to include paddle-shifters for the new Honda Jazz? A. Upon conclusion of an in-depth market study, we found that paddle-shifters rated rather low among most customers' wish list. The deletion of that feature meant we could allocate more for safety features such as curtain airbags. However, this is a point of continual study for Honda, if market requirements begin to dictate otherwise, we will definitely look into it. Q. The previous generation Jazz, rated rather low on the IIHS small-overlap safety program, is there any improvements to the new car, now that the fuel tank effectively sits closer to the impact zone. A. The whole body construction has been redesigned, to include reinforced panels, stiffer side sills and impact absorbing crumple zones. There's been a lot learnt from the two previous generations of the Jazz, all of which have contributed to bettering this car. We are confident of attaining the ANCAP's 5-star rating for this car. Q. Has the coefficient of drag been improved over the last car? A. Yes it has, we have achieved a 0.33 CD factor for the new car. Q. In regard to the Mugen brand, previously owners could obtain Mugen add-ons through independent aftermarket channels, by now including it as part of your catalogue; does it mean Honda is now the official distributor? A. With regards to the new Honda Jazz and Civic, Honda owns the rights exclusively. Q. Will the new Honda Jazz be used as a platform for competition in the Sepang 1000km endurance races as the older generation did. A. Why don't we cross that bridge when we get to it? It will be exciting news indeed if it does, but if we reveal everything now, there'll be no surprises then. Q. On a lighter note, why are there nine cupholders for a car that only seats five? A. Good question, in any market, more is always better. In Malaysia especially, now you can have your 'teh tarik' and your mineral water on your drives. Honda can also sell you reusable hot flasks so you don't have to use plastic bags. Connect to Car Magazine : Malaysian Edition! Like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

In Enemy Front you will experience the story of a soldier during the Warsaw Uprising, you'll mmove to other countries, through the memories of a hero with missions taking place in Norway, France and Germany.
Enemy Front is based on CryEngine 3 technology. The title, however, does not look as beautiful as Crysis series on PC, it's been developed primarily for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Still, the game has its moments, including the Warsaw Uprising, which was reproduced as faithfully as possible.

ecabs on new computer
I recently set up a new desktop computer in my office and installed the latest ecab version, I am currently using ecabs on a laptop. I was wondering about the best way to bring my modified cabinets, jobs, material pricing etc. into the desktop version of ecabs from the laptop. I wasn't sure if just copying the Back up folder and installing it in the new version was the right way to go or do I replace the individual folders. Any info would be gladly accepted as I'm hoping to save myself time recreating what I've already done.

Re: ecabs on new computer
Run a backup on the laptop, then restore on the desktop and you should have exactly what you had.

Solar-powered plane starts five-month global flight
March 9 , 2015
A solar-powered aircraft attempting to fly around the world in a first-of-its-kind journey took off from Abu Dhabi.
The single-seater Solar Impulse-2 will move from continent to continent over a period of five months, making several stops and crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on the way.
The plane is being manned by Swiss national Andre Borschberg; later, Bertrand Piccard, also from Switzerland, will take over. The two men will take turns piloting the plane on its epic journey.
The plane has 17,000 solar cells attached to its wings and lithium ion cells for powering night-time journeys.

Unions have held an anti-austerity demonstration as EU leaders met in Brussels.
Unions urge EU to come up with 'Plan B' to austerity
Unions urge EU to come up with 'Plan B' to austerity
They say it is time to change course on spending cuts and labour reforms.
They argue such policies are deepening Europe's economic woes, putting the continent's much-vaunted social model at risk.
"Europe is impoverishing people of all classes across the continent in an inhumane and criminal way," said one protester.
One man on the march said he opposed the attack on welfare state spending.
"We are rising up to protect the social rights that our grandparents fought for," he told euronews.
The European Commission's own forecasts make for gloomy reading.
Growth in the eurozone will shrink by 0.3 percent in 2013, whilst unemployment is predicted to hit 12.2 percent in the single currency area by the end of the year.

Dwayne Wade confirms the birth of his new child
January 1 , 2014
Dwayne Wade confirmed that he had indeed fathered a new born with a woman who wasn't his fiancée. Reports suggest that Wade and Gabrielle Union were on a temporary break at the time and the child is about one month old now.
Wade called him a "blessing" and said he has always shown his importance in the lives of his children and that doesn't change now.
"So I'm moving on. ...I, my lady, and my family have continued to move forward, and I think that's evident with the ring and the proposal that I gave her, with our lives," the Miami Hear star said.
Actress Union still hasn't addressed the whole thing in public.

The Internet Can Be A Bad Thing Sometimes

There are several stores in my area that will not accept internet printed coupons. Since I love my coupons and there are so many good coupons online, this really sucks for me. Many times people copy the coupons, print up fake coupons, and more for free items. Do stores in your area accept these coupons? Always someone messing up something for us all....

In some places they do. Most compnies the legit ones put percisions on their product to keep reproduction down to a minuim. Such as a watermark that is only visible if printed or coppied. Those who don't do such things and turning away cupons are just people who are hurting themselves more or less. However, I do know places that won't accept print-outs, but you can make your purches online and select to pick it up. Pizza hut is one of those places.

I have never had a problem as of yet. In fact I used one yesterday at Old Navy for 25%off of my purchases. It was great and I saved alot since thing were already marked down. People always find a way to cheat and make it bad for others. People like this make me sick.

I think it is more of a problem for free items. The signs I have seen have said somethinfg about free too.People print 5 or 6 off ans use them I guess. You are right people are going to do it on everything and find a way to do it.Which sucks and makes us all pay.

It has been a while since I've used coupons that I have printed off of the internet because I haven't got any ink in my printer. However, before I ran out of ink, I never did have a problem redeeming the coupons that I had printed online. I was able to use them at Kroger, Wal-Mart and Target. I never did try them at Meijer because I seldom shop there. It really made for a great deal for me as well because Kroger would double the coupons so I was getting things for little of nothing.

No It don't! Indonesia doesn't have store that accept coupons from Internet as I know. But, Indonesia accept ticket from internet. We just need to screen capture the ticket from the browser then You can use it.

Tashi Delek
A group of sixth form students have recently returned from a two week adventure to the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The group were based in a Tibetan settlement of Bylakuppe, at the incredible Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, which became their home for the duration of their visit. The monastery holds close ties with Queen Elizabeth High School and has done for many years. We are the only school group that has the privilege of visiting this Tibetan settlement, or any Tibetan settlement we think, where we are able to secure permits allowing us into this closely protected area.

ENCINITAS, Calif. – A man suspected of a home burglary in Encinitas was shot by a deputy after a short pursuit Monday afternoon, San Diego County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman said.
Deputies were called to a neighborhood in Encinitas around 2:30 p.m. to investigate a burglary, sheriff's department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell said. After watching a man get into a car and drive away from the area, the deputies followed him.
The suspect pulled over on 101 Leucadia Boulevard, got out of the car and started running, she said. A deputy ran after the man until the suspect pointed a handgun at him.
Video shows burglary suspect on ground after being shot by deputy
"The subject turns around and pulls out a handgun and points it at the deputy," Caldwell said. The deputy fired an unknown amount of rounds from his gun at the suspect.
The suspect, later identified by investigators as 35-year-old Joseph Ramos, was hit and taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
A second man and a young boy who had been riding in the suspect's car were uninjured, as were all involved law enforcement personnel, authorities said.
Carlsbad police said they were shutting down southbound Highway 101 at La Costa Avenue due to the investigation.
Amtrak and the Coaster trains were halted between Poinsettia Lane and Encinitas due to the investigation, according to North County Transit District. They said passengers should expect up to a two hour delay in service.
