Neighbors in Religion: Miami Gardens should conjure images of fun times, not gunshots
I had scarcely taken word of a drive-by shooting of a man shot in front of his girlfriend's children, when the noon news reported more trouble in Miami Gardens: Early in the morning of Jan. 26, there had been a shooting in a gated community in The Gardens. Another man injured.
And I am thinking ... what's going on here?
The name Miami Gardens should bring to mind a warm and wonderful place to live. A community where young couples shop for their first home because they see it as a great place to bring up their future children.
The name should bring to mind pictures of families in the park with their children; shirtless men — fathers and sons mowing their lawns, and families having backyard barbecues or just sitting on their front porches shooting the breeze. You get the picture. The name Miami Gardens sounds like a place you are not afraid to call "home."
Instead, more often than not, these days whenever the name Miami Gardens is mentioned it conjures up scenes of police cars with lights flashing; yellow tape placed around crime scenes and people who are afraid to come outdoors in the evening.
While I don't have the answers (I wish I did), I do know that this crime war should not be happening —not in my Miami Gardens.
I moved to the Miami Gardens area in 1971. My home was located in what was called "unincorporated Dade County because it was between Opa-locka and Carol City. I'd moved from Liberty City, which was then branded a high crime area. I had two young sons and wanted a safer place for them to grow up. Back then, the neighbors were friendly and thoughtful —we looked out for each other.
Later on my sons and I moved to a different house near Carol City High School. My mom stayed in the first house. It wasn't until my mother had a debilitating stroke that I moved back in our original house to become her caregiver.
It was about that time (in 1996) that I noticed life was not the same in the old neighborhood. There were bars on more windows and fences around yards and security company signs in front yards, warning the would-be crooks. But it didn't seem to matter at all to the young boys who openly sold drugs on a nearby street corner. (A few outcries from neighborhood watchers to the police soon brought an end to that.)
Still, I had hope for our neighborhood. Many of the old neighbors still lived here and a couple of them had keys to our house when my mom was alive, in case of an emergency. Then came the time to vote for a new city. It would be called Miami Gardens.
While some people fought the incorporating of a new city, I voted for it. Dreamer that I am, I thought this would be the chance for this black neighborhood to become the envy of Miami-Dade and South Florida and even the entire country.
Not so. Instead, according to some statistics, Miami Gardens has grown to have one of the highest crime rates —51 per 1,000 residents — in America.
To be fair, not all areas of Miami Gardens have been affected by crime. Yet. And there are some good things coming out of the city. Take Sun Life Stadium and Betty Ferguson Recreation Center, and local neighborhood churches for example. These are bright spots in Miami Gardens, with activities going all all the time. Some churches, in addition to helping schoolchildren with uniforms and school supplies, have organized marches against crime.
But we can do more. We need to organize more neighborhood crime watch organizations. We can't lived behind our locked gates and barred windows and tremble with fear every time we hear gunshots.
We do need to be brave enough to report crimes when we see them happening. We need to care about our neighbors and the children growing up in our neighborhoods. We need to be diligent.
Friends, I fear that if the wave of crime that is stripping our city of its beauty, isn't eradicated real soon, people won't want to come here, out of pure fear.
And we don't want that to happen.

Political networks in the European Parliament Network analysis of the 2013 reform of the Common Agricultural Policy
EU-level decision-making has already been analysed from a number of point of views. Nevertheless, social network analysis in the context of the EU's legislative procedures, particularly in the European Parliament is still limited. The objective of this paper is to analyse the relationships of the Members of the European Parliament during the elaboration of the legislative instruments of the 2013 Common Agricultural Policy reform. Interpersonal networks of EP members have been transformed into networks of EP groups as well as EU Member States. The novelty of this research is the combination of network analysis with the analysis of the legislative amendments of the EP. The results of the analysis show that EU-15 as well as net contributor Member States are more active and cluster together more frequently in the network. Also, Member States with higher economic dependency act together more frequently in the legislative process. Regarding the EP Groups, the most active one is the European People's Party, while the European Conservatives and Reformists Group play the most important role as intermediary in the network.
Enforcement of Competition Policy in the EU Energy Sector
Three EU directives regulating the internal energy market of the European Union have created the conditions for opening up the market in the energy sector. However, corporate behaviour distorting competition as well as member states' acts of intervention in the market have hindered in the realisation of opening markets and liberalization. In order to ensure that market liberalization is implemented in accordance with the directives, the European Commission has applied competition policy measures and sought to eliminate specific anti-competitive positions through proceedings and rulings. Prior EU proceedings initiated for the enforcement of competition have been dominated by cases directly affecting the competitive position of companies and concerned the conduct of those companies, their relative market powers and state aid. Exposing distortions to market competition have in recent years been complemented by new considerations – of environmental and climate protection – that do not concern companies' competitive positions. However, in EU procedures aimed at enforcing competition in the energy sector, adoption of these criteria must be harmonised with the requirement to strengthen the single internal market.
Scientific cooperation between the European Union and Turkey Advantages and possible synergies
The Turkish economy has shown remarkable economic performance over the last decade. Currently, it is the 18th largest economy in the world. To increase its competitiveness, Turkey set research and development as a priority area for the next decade, with the ambitious goal of reaching 3% of GERD/GDP by 2023. Despite several controversies about the EU accession process in general, Turkey is an active member of the European research area. It is an associated member of the RDI Framework Programs since 2002, it participated in and coordinated various scientific projects, policy-coordination actions, mobility programs and won grants for excellent researchers. In the Turkish national STI strategy for 2011-2016, the three vertical and six horizontal axes consist of various scientific areas like ICT, Energy, Defence, Water, Food, which have been also set as priority areas in the European H2020 program. We would like to focus in our article on possible synergies between priority areas, as well as on the role of SMEs in the innovation chain, which are enjoying a special attention in both Horizon 2020 and in Turkish national science and economic policy.
Budget support in fragile states: anomaly or paradox?
In our previous study (Udvari-Pontet, 2015) we analyzed budget support highlighting the fact that many donors expect the increase of aid effectiveness thanks to this aid modality. However, the use of budget support may associate with high risks especially in recipient countries where good governance, political stability are problematic and the level of corruption is high. Though, many donors – including the European Union – emphasize the relevance of budget support in fragile states where the criteria mentioned above are partially or completely missing. This caveat raises the questions how budget support can be successful in recipient countries which do not meet the minimum conditions of budget support, and what reasons may motivate donors to provide this aid modality. The aim of this study is to analyze the appearance of budget support in fragile states with statistical tools. Based on the results it can be stated that economic and social development and institutional conditions of fragile states do not effect on the volume of budget support in these countries, so it seems that the economic and strategic interests of donors are more decisive.

Protection of Public and Private Interest in Rome I Regulation –
some Observation about the Interpretation of Overriding Mandatory Rules
Judgment of the Court in Case C‑463/13 Stanley International Betting Ltd, Stanleybet Malta Ltd
This presentation of some relevant judgments of the ECJ shows how Italy had to transform its regulation concerning gambling and how it has established a much more open model based upon concessions instead of the former monopolistic structure conflicting with EU Law. It is worth to highlight the interaction and demonstrate how the Italian regulation has been modified stimulated by the judgments of the ECJ and how the Court has reacted on these developments. As the result of this conti- nuously ongoing process it becomes obvious, how these judgments of the ECJ have contributed to the transformation from a monopolistic structure to a system based upon concessions. The analyzed judgment of the Court is the most recent element of this progress, the main subject of which is the limitation of the duration of the concession.

We can all probably agree on the fact that travelling can be awesome! Leaving your home for some period of time is beneficial for a lot of reasons : you relax from daily routines and fresh up your mind and body, enjoy time with family or friends, get to know different places and get inspired. However, preparing for travelling plays a huge role in your overall enjoyment. Stick with us and read more about the tips on how to pack your carry-on luggage.
Putting electronics fragile items in your carry-on will keep these items safe, because during a flight there is always a chance for a turbulence or any other occasion that can damage your stuff. You are also protecting it from being stolen while someone is going through your regular bags. By the way, talking about electronics, if you will vape, use laptop, iPad or phones, don't forget to pack batteries and chargers for those devices!
You should put toiletries and some clothes in your carry-on bag as well, because having toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo etc. near you will help you keep yourself fresh, neat and clean. Also, if the travelling time is too long, you will need some clothes you can quickly change and prevent being sweaty and this is when storing some extra clothes in your carry-on bag will come in hand.
This includes packing items in the carry-on bag that you will need to use more often. This, for example, includes your passport, local ID, credit cards, license and tickets during the travelling time. You will need to show some of those items at least two times, so keeping it close to you is a good idea.
Packing the entertainment items is very useful because those items packed in your carry-on bag are always near you and you can always use them to make your time pass faster and more interesting if you are feeling bored. For example, you can bring your favorite book to read during the flight or pen and notebook if you need to do some business.
Having water bottles or towels in your carry-on bag is a great idea. This way you can easily keep yourself hydrated and fresh because those items will be close to you. This is especially the case when your flight takes a longer time. Remember to buy the water bottle after you passed TSA security.

II John, III John/
"For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh" (II John 1:7). John said that true Christians know that Jesus came "in the flesh" (I John 4:2), while "deceivers" teach that He was only spirit. Denying Jesus' bodily humanity led to "spiritualizing" the faith; they preached an abstract idea that ignored the importance of loving real people in sacrificial, concrete ways. Diotrephes, for example, refused to practice hospitality and discouraged others (III John 1:9-10).
"Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do" (III John 1:5). Faithfulness means making our faith visible by our actions, just as Jesus visibly demonstrated God's love for us.

Iran, Syria to continue attacking 'terrorists' in Damascus suburbs: agency
- by Andrea Singleton
- in Global
- — Mar 1, 2018
We can not guarantee that it is suitable for the visually or hearing impaired.
Middle East: The UN Security Council has unanimously approved a resolution demanding a 30-day ceasefire in Syria to allow aid deliveries and medical evacuations.
Warplanes and artillery hit some towns in the eastern Ghouta enclave, said residents, rescuers, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
More than 1,000 civilians, including children and women, have been killed since mid-November in attacks by the Syrian regime and its allies including Russian Federation in besieged Eastern Ghouta, according to a U.K-based human rights watchdog.
In the wake of the adoption of a United Nations resolution establishing a 30-day truce throughout Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the state of affairs in Syria's East Ghouta region with France's President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the humanitarian situation in the region has recently rapidly deteriorated.
Iran's government, also a backer of the Assad regime, said it would respect the United Nations resolution. "Remember that each one of you chose to fight to defend the truth, dignity, and to save Syria and its people", he added.
The war-monitoring body says that led to fierce fighting when anti-government forces returned fire.
With support from Russian Federation, the Security Council adopted a resolution on the ceasefire to allow for humanitarian aid deliveries and medical evacuations, but the measure did not specify when the truce would go into force beyond saying it should be "without delay".
Blake Bortles, Jaguars Finalizing Multi-Year Extension
Bortles, 25, put up the best performance of an otherwise up-and-down career in 2017. I also thought Bortles would be better off resuming his career on another team.
The Syrian regime says it is targeting terrorists inside the enclave, as the draft resolution stated the cease-fire doesn't apply to operations against the Islamic State, al-Qaida and the Nusra Front. "Every minute the council waited on Russian Federation, the human suffering grew", she said. But "parts of the suburbs of Damascus, which are held by the terrorists, are not covered by the ceasefire and clean-up (operations) will continue there", Tasnim quoted him as saying. He said that the people in Damascus are truly suffering due to the acts of the terrorists positioned in the Eastern Ghouta, adding "the appeals of 8 million Syrians do not reach the General Secretariat or the mailboxes of Britain and France's representatives, but the appeals of terrorists do reach them".
Few of Eastern Ghouta's almost 400,000 residents - mostly living in a scattering of towns across the semi-rural area east of the capital - ventured out on Friday.
Meanwhile, Islam Army (Jaish al-Islam), the biggest opposition faction in eastern Ghouta, said that they had killed 25 regime fighters while attempting to advance.
Hamza Birqdar, the military spokesman, said the insurgents had thwarted attacks by pro-government forces trying to advance. The group said it had captured and killed "a number of soldiers" as they tried to infiltrate the area. "The bombing is ongoing at this moment".
The 30-day ceasefire was also binding on U.S. troops and other members of the anti-Isis coalition present in Syria, and on Israeli forces based in the occupied Golan Heights, the Syrian government said.
The Syrian military forces have not commented on the resolution so far.
Pope Francis described Syria as "martyred" on Sunday, calling for aid access and an immediate end to violence.

Pistachio Berry Holiday Granola
Nutmeg and cinnamon lead the way in this festive granola. Make a double batch to have on hand for visiting family and friends or give away as gifts. Great for a breakfast, snack or to sprinkle on your favorite fruit. The possibilities are plentiful!
Technically a processed grain, oats maintain their nutrient value through the refining process because they don't lose their bran or germ like many other grains. Oats are a good source of soluble fiber which is known to help reduce cholesterol levels. This grain is also high in minerals such as manganese, molybdenum, copper and phosphorus.

A gold bar purchased in Ottawa that turned out to contain no gold did not come from the Royal Canadian Mint, the Crown corporation said Tuesday.
But despite the mint's claim that counterfeits are rare, a quick internet search shows such products abound.
"This is not a one-off. Nobody does this once. The real question is, how did this get into RBC's inventory?"
Bosse said most buyers never question the authenticity of gold bars purchased from banks.
"They know they bought it from a bank, so they're sure that it's good. But that concept is now under attack if there's more than one of these out there."

This summer we recruited a design team of Autodesk Student Experts to develop an alpha prototype of our Otter Newborn Warmer. The student expert team included Malory Johnson Industrial Designer, Celine Ta, Mechanical engineer and Kelly Brennan, Mechanical Engineer. The summer design sprint started with a quick orientation at the DtM studio in Salem. We were fortunate that each intern came with experience working on Otter in the past. We were able to dive right into the summer's objectives.
The team began by contacting heating element manufacturers, drawing up circuit diagrams and lots of CAD modeling in Fusion 360. In August, the team moved to the Autodesk BUILD Space in South Boston for alpha prototype fabrication and testing. The Autodesk BUILD Space team in Boston were superlative hosts.
We used this prototyping sprint as an opportunity to pioneer a new process for prototype fabrication: the design and production of custom PCBs using Eagle CAD and our Othermill desktop CNC. Ordinarily, PCB design is a slow process. You design the board and send it out to a fab house to be machined--a process that takes about a week. Using Eagle CAD and the Othermill, we were able to design, build and test PCBs in a few hours, meaning we could generate two or three iterations of a board in a single day.
This was also the first time we fabricated our own custom membrane switches. Outsourcing this component would have cost 75% of our budget and forced us to make design decisions too early such that the part would arrive in time. Given our new ability to make PCBs in-house, we were able to simply print out the interface design and glue it directly to the board with attached dome switches and LEDs. This easy workflow allowed us to iterate on the design until it was right and saved us nearly $1,000.
After a series of late nights, the team finished the Otter alpha prototype. We're excited to begin field-testing this new and improved device early next year, and after user validation we expect it to be a much shorter step to the development of a production prototype--in other words an Otter design that is optimized for cost-effective manufacture at our target volumes.

The tall woman deflected the basketball sized fist and stepped in with a counter punch to the gut of her opponent. The large, dark, well-muscled man folded over the rock hard fist. Spittle flew from his mouth while his eyes bulged. Amazonia followed up with a hammer fist between the man's shoulder blades, putting him flat on the pavement.
"Wow!" Kent Abercrombie, dressed as Blue Avenger, approached the tall woman hero. "Excellent take down." He stood back as the woman straightened.
"By the grace of Apollo and Athena, I was able to defeat the brute." Amazonia touched her forehead then waved to the heavens. She then walked to the damaged building and moved the rubble to the side.
"Look, Amazonia. How about we get together after this. Say over coffee?" Kent moved debris and righted a car.
Amazonia stopped clearing rubble. "Blue Avenger, are you asking me out on a date?"
Kent smiled as he looked her in the eyes. "Not a date. Coffee. It's not really a date."
The tall muscular woman put her hands on her hips. "So then other members of our team will be there?"
"I hope not," muttered Kent as he looked at the ground. "Well, they are welcomed, but they may be busy."
"So it would just be you and me?" Amazonia cocked a hip and tilted her head.
"Uh…Yes. Yes, it would." Kent's eyes sparkled, and he smiled his award-winning smile that had appeared in so many grocery checkout stand publications around the world.
"From what I understand of your language, that is a date."
"Fine. It's a date." Kent rolled his eyes. "Is that a yes?"
"No. It is not a yes." The flat eyes, thin lips, grinding jaw showing on Amazonia's face removed all doubt about the finality of this answer.
"Why not? Do you know how many women would kill to be in your place?"
"Then ask them. You are not my type." Amazonia went back to clearing rubble and debris.
"What do you mean, not your type?" Kent held his hands out and shrugged his shoulders. "I am fit, strong, and I eat healthy. Besides, we work well together."
"Those are not reasons to pair off. Besides, you are not my type. It wouldn't last." Amazonia pushed two demolished pick-up trucks together, then pulled a cab to the same pile.
"You don't know that."
Amazonia paused and looked Kent in the eyes. With a flat expression on her face, she said, "You are correct and I apologize for jumping to a conclusion. It is rude of me to assume you are an ass."
"Thank you." Kent moved some ruined streetlights and dumpsters to the same pile Amazonia started. I am going to let the ass comment go. I am making headway and don't want to blow it.
"How are you two doing?" A smaller woman with wings hovered over to where Kent and Amazonia worked. "Everything cleaned up here?"
"Yeah. We got this area cleared." Kent waved at the flying woman. "Are the other teams done? Is it safe for the construction crews to take over Silverwing?"
"Yes. I think it is. Good eye, Blue Avenger." Silverwing talked to someone on her radio.
Kent turned to continue his talk with Amazonia. He found the tall woman staring at Silverwing. Kent noticed that Amazonia was absently running a hand through her long hair and brushing dust from her uniform. Amazonia's face flushed for an instant when she made eye contact with the other flying hero.
Kent shook his head. Figures.
"Thats it team. We are out of here," Silverwing said over the radio for all team members to hear. She waved at Kent and Amazonia then flew off.
"Blue Avenger." Amazonia reached for Kent's shoulder. "How well do you know Silverwing?"

Pray for Tuscon
On the 15th October, I went to see the Revival Tour roll into London town at the Shepherds Buch Empire. Exactly 6 months prior I had been so excited about this gig, even though I didn't totally know what to expect, that I jumped on the sale of these tickets so fast, I got ticket numbers #3 and #4!
Basically the premise is that it is an accoustic collaborative "event" curated by Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music) and he brings a merry crew of artists to play what can only be described as an awesome night. This time around we had the pleasure of Dave Hause (The Loved Ones), Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio) and Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem), as well as Chuck and backing instrumentalists. In the past I know Frank Turner has done it in the US too.
It went on for about 3 hours, with the guys playing songs together at the beginning, then 4 separate sets from each artist (with people dropping in and out to play/sing when needed), and then they come back together at the end. As each member has recently released solo material, theres a mix of their own songs, a few covers, plus songs from their respective bands. So, for instance, Dan played things from his "Hurricane Season" album, as well as his-penned songs from Trio, like "Emma". Dave played a cover of Joe Strummer's "Coma Girl", which is one of my all time favourite songs. It was a truely special night, and I loved every moment.
Anyway, if you want to see what it's really all about, they have posted an entire night from their gig in Köln on You Tube. I would heartily recommend watching this, or at least put it on in the background to listen to, as it's a spectacular event. It's giving me goosebumps reliving the night :).

Let's dig right in to the third volume of Drzewiecki Design's Polish airports. I've seen a pattern in these three volumes, too. The first in each is a real nice one, very enticing, and though the others in each volume are a little less interesting – visually speaking, anyway – taken as a group they form a very complete regional network for GA and light RJ/turbo-prop acf use. The CRJ would fit in nicely with any of these airports, but the Leading Edge Saab 340 will be perfect. An A318 would be perfect, too, or a 737-500, for that matter, but beggers cant't be choosers. A few of the small Polish carriers use the Saab, so that may be the best option for now, the CRJ coming in a close second. The last airport in this group is the real surprise, however…
So, that said, let's look at the first airport in volume three.
Nice terminal, outlying cargo facilities and maintenance hangers, and a large, well-developed city around the perimeter highlight this airport.
All these airport files state, by the way, that they are version 10 compliant, so true HDR/PBR effects are lacking in this group – yet, by-and-large, XP11 has done a good job making them look good at night. Still, these files need to be updated.
And once again, as you can see, the ramps are naked, and even with static aircraft checked to ON I've rarely seen more than one aircraft at many of these terminals, and often none. I have NOT tested World Traffic v3 here, yet. One thing at a time, I always say.
Still, the ramps are nicely lighted at night, and there's a police helicopter spooling up behind the default MD-80, above.
Also included in this file, a large mesh with a thoroughly build-up collection of custom objects on the ground, representing the city of…
There are prominent city buildings here, sports stadia and housing blocks, and I suppose these could be used as VFR reporting landmarks too, and the overall visual effect is quite nice, very immersive.
And below, you can see the airport off to the left, and this is as good a time as any to mention the downside here. Yup, framerates. I was able to set HDR, rendering, and AA to very high settings here – AND still keep World Objects at MAX…but only with the default Cessna 172.
Add an über-complex, frame-rate busting .acf like the Just-Flight Piper Arrow and the picture changes dramatically. Looking out the windshield in the image just below all you'll find is a smeary mesh and a few isolated buildings, because heavy-hitting aircraft files simply take too many resources away from scenery rendering. So, the choice is yours…you make a choice between lots of buildings and objects on the ground or a hyper detailed cockpit; this is a harsh, but necessary compromise for most of us, as the only other option is to go out and buy a gut-busting GPU, one with at least 8Gb, preferably 11-12Gb onboard. In another year, these huge GPUs ought to be more wallet friendly, too.
With World Objects dialed back to moderate levels, even airport building details disappear, making the choice harder.
Still, I like this airport – and the surrounding city-scape. And because I really enjoy the default Cessna 172, I can enjoy everything this file has to offer.
The Leading Edge Simulations Saab A340 is one of the most realistic, "study-sim" packages available in XP, and though it has yet to be upgraded to full XP11 compliance it is more than flyable in XP11.05. There's no "start with engines running option" to make it easy on you, so, yes, this is a cold and dark file, yet, nevertheless I enjoy-the-Dickens out of this .acf. Yup, you've got to spend a few minutes with checklists getting the engines warm, but this is probably as close as most of us will get to working in one of these interesting aircraft, so why not give it a try?
And EPPO is a good airport to work out of – with the 340, anyway. There's a small pax terminal – but large air cargo facilities. There's a mesh and some built-up city-scape around the facility, and the framerates were friendly enough here to allow use of the 340, a nice surprise – as this is a demanding file.
The Saab's panel is every bit as good as the IXEG 733s, and the LES Saab has a ponderous low speed feel that you really have to stay on top off. It's also a racehorse, and you can find yourself blowing past 200 knots in a heartbeat.
Anyway, a little off-topic, but this is a perfect aircraft to use at many of these airports, and I thought it worth mentioning.
But back at EPPO, note this is a big, sprawling airport, with multiple passenger terminals and dozens of support facilities…things like work shops and warehouses are all clustered around the main ramps, giving EPPO a very workmanlike feel.
The main terminal building has simple photo-textures applied, so no interior modeling to draw you in. Big parking areas, well lighted, add to the visual mix but again, the ramps are a little too quiet.
No Jetways at these terminals, too, just stairs and long walkways on the tarmac.
Cargo ops, to the right (above) give way to a huge number of ramp spots for smaller passenger jets.
And passing over the facility, note the ramps are well lighted, but again, there's no XP11-compliant HDR lighting.
You can see this lack at the GA terminal, above, and below, over the same area…
…as when passing over the main terminal building.
And above, another view of the main terminal building, from the Carenado C208.
Now, the last airport in the series, named after an astronomer for the ages.
Nicolaus Copernicus, in English, by the way, in case you were wondering, and as this airport serves one of the most vibrant cities in Europe you know you're in for something special – and this file delivers.
And this is one more interesting file, despite the usual shortcomings – v10 lighting and fairly bleak ramp activity are the two negatives here, while plenty of custom local cityscapes are included with the nicely modeled terminal buildings. This (below) is the old terminal building, the T1 building complex, and yes, it looks dated. No jetways, small building, and you wonder…if this is such a big, vibrant city…how could this be?
There's some "stuff" on the ramps here, but I supplemented this with the ground handling equipment that comes with the FF757-200, as you can see in the series of images below.
The architecture looks authentic, i.e., with what little I can find in Google covering the area.
But a lot of the things you see on these ramps come to life because of the ground support items included with the 757 file.
Again, that's too bad, for if there's one overriding fault I've found with these airports it's the almost always vacant tarmacs and ramps. Most of these files include an in-house scenery library, so the GPU demands shouldn't be so large that they preclude use of these assets. I think it's a fault that could easily be rectified, and I hope they'll do so in an update, preferably an update that brings full XP11 compliance to these airports.
This is, however, one more "nice" airport, with everything needed for GA and RJ/turbo-prop use, and aircraft as large as the 752 can operate at this terminal, as well.
But…this show ain't over yet. No, not by a long shot. Because there's another terminal, right over yonder…
And here's a little better presentation of the layout, with the old T1 terminal labeled, and the new one T2:
So, let's take a closer look…
…and from another angle…
…and with different lighting…
This is more like it, isn't it? Want a playground for your 767 or A330? Well, here it is…
…and the best part? It's right in the center or Europe, so just about any destination, save the Iberian Peninsula, is just a short hop away.
Dramatic architecture, excellent airport facilities, and close to many of the payware airports you probably already have.
And at this airport, you've got a choice between "Old World" charm (above), or…
…New World sophistication. The newer, T2, looks better at night, though…
And, this city is included in the file, as well it should be. Wrocław is as historically important as any city in Poland, and perhaps more so, yet it possesses an old world feel that rivals many more traditional tourist spots, such as Brugge, in Belgium.
Anyway, it's all here, waiting for you, and the Alabeo Waco makes a fine platform to explore the area. Unfortunately, as with so many other airports in these three volumes, you'll have to choose between framerates and nice scenery textures, for unless you have a very powerful GPU, you can't have both.
Above, World Objects are set to MAX, and so are HDR, textures and AA. Framerates? Wow, don't even ask…glaciers move faster than that poor old bi-plane.
Well, let's wrap up this part of the journey.
First, all these airports are modeled with care. They're first rate, aside from the bleak ramp detail. They include elaborate installation instruction PDFs, as well as PDF chart packages. Again, top marks for that. Installation is, generally, a snap, except for having to install apt.dat updates (included) if using XP10. Simple to do, however.
As you can see on the map above, these Polish airports – all eleven of them – are smack-dab in the middle of the action. Amsterdam, Dusseldorf and Hamburg – are all just an hour or so away by 733 or A320, and most of these airports can easily handle that size aircraft. A few can and do accommodate much larger aircraft.
Want to challenge your IFR skills in winter? Begin at one of these airports and head for ENGM Oslo or ENBR Bergen, in January, or try EETN Tallinn, for that matter.
Our next stops on this Baltic journey will be Latvia and Estonia, to Tallinn and Riga. From there we'll take a look at AeroSOFT's ENBR Bergen, rounding out our trip while covering all of the latest scenery files for X-plane. If, in the interim, something new releases, we'll get out a First Look post, to help guide potential buying decisions.
Thanks for coming along, and we'll see you again soon. – C & A

OKCupid manipulates its users matches to see if opposites attract
OKCupid, you clever little devil, fiddling around with our matches while we pine to make some sort of love connection.
Dating website giant, OKCupid has admitted to experimenting on its users, including putting the "wrong" people together to see if they would connect.
After the uproar with Facebook manipulating the feeds of its users, OKCupid decided it was time to fess up to playing around with user profile matching.
BBC reports how OKCupid is justifying its actions stating…
"If you use the internet, you're the subject of hundreds of experiments at any given time, on every site," it said. "That's how websites work."
Ok so every website is dicking around with us, we get it. At least tell us what you found out about online dating, love and sex…
OKCupid said one revelation was that "people just look at the picture".
OKCupid ran profiles with pictures and no profile text for half of its test subjects, and vice versa for the rest. The results showed that people responded solely to the pictures. For potential daters, Christian Rudder [one of the founders of OKCupid] said that "your actual words are worth… almost nothing".
NO SHIT…tell us something we did not know.
In one experiment, the site took pairs of "bad" matches between two people – about 30% – and told them they were "exceptionally good" for each other, or 90% matches. "Not surprisingly, the users sent more first messages when we said they were compatible," Christian Rudder, one of the founders of OKCupid, said in a blog post on the company's research and insights blog.
Further experiments suggested that "when we tell people they are a good match, they act as if they are. Even when they should be wrong for each other." The company later revealed the correct scores to the participants.
Summing up OKCupid's sheeple experiment for online dating goes something like this:
- People look at photos and don't really care about the 'interests', 'my profile', 'about me' crap.
- When the algorithms gives super high compatibility marks for a match, users send a message.
In essence we want to hook up with hot women, who we convince ourselves, have lots in common with us.

First of all, grocery shopping on Sunday morning before 8am is the BOMB. The entire store was to myself, my daughter (in pajamas of course) and fresh food deliveries everywhere. I got a coffee, a Kind Bar, and set off on a nice stroll through the store for an hour.
I came home, laid it all out on the counter and got ready to clean out the fridge, pantry, and #PrepForSuccess for the week.
The first step is always making a game plan so you don't get overwhelmed with food/options and schedules. It is also MUCH easier to do this when someone is home to play with the kids so you get some alone time.
Here's how I tackle a #PrepForSuccess time.
1. The Recipe. I limit my time spent on a recipe to one or at most 2 easy ones that I can either fully cook or get 80% prepped for to make it easy to throw together when I need it. This week it was Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken and it was awesome! I added quinoa and broccoli to the broth in the slow cooker too to have it later in the week because I honestly hate waiting on grains to cook.
2. The Vegetable Prep. This is always the longest part but the prettiest:). I put all my vegetables and fruit in the sink and give them a bath together. My vegetables included: zucchini (3), carrots, celery, and red & green bell peppers. Once these are done, I feel like I am the healthiest person alive.
3. Roasting Section. I usually have brussels sprouts, broccoli, and asparagus to roast while I slice and dice the other vegetables but today I decided to do carrots (and zucchini which was a mistake) using this recipe and they were DELISH (I added some to my Lemon Chicken above for dinner on top of spinach.)
4. Pantry Plan. I always clean out my pantry during prep time because I don't like to look at boxes and I want to know how much I have left of something, what I have at one glance, and get meal ideas for the week. My pantry process looked like this:
More of my grocery purchases;
- Homemade pizza – sauce, mozz cheese, and shaved vegetables from above.
- Spaghetti squash will microwave it to use with my shaved vegetables one night.
- Corn on the cob- my kids LOVE
- Garbonza beans for roasting or adding to salads
- Annie's spaghetti os for quick meal for kids…also fries, waffles, and ragu cheese to make home-made mac and cheese using whole wheat pasta so I can control the amount of cheese and save $.
And I make my own air popped popcorn now for the kids and I because I can control the oil/butter and salt. This popper was like $15… so worth it!
I hope you get some ideas.. comment below if you have any questions about what I do with some of the food you see. It is all pretty self-explanatory but ask away!
Happy Monday!

New litigation reforms currently being debated in the House of Lords are coming under attack.
The debate surrounds the argument about who should pay the 'success fee' for malpractice and other claims – the claimant or the lawyer.
Currently, the system in practice in Britain is the no win – no fee. However the Government are seeking to change this, by making claimants shoulder much of the burden of taking their claim to court. If the reforms go through as detailed in the Green paper, lawyers would not be allowed to take more than 25% of any damages as a success fee.
The paper also suggests that claimants should not have to pay costs for personal injury claims, even if he or she loses the case.
The reforms however have been attacked with many people including barristers arguing that people will be denied access to the law. Muiris Lyons who is president of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers told the Guardian newspaper: "Firstly, solicitors will be less able to offer a CFA to someone whose claim is complex, meritorious, and difficult to win.
"Secondly, those who are most seriously injured, and have no choice but to sue, are likely to lose money from their damages."
With legal aid also coming in for the chop, the debate over these reforms is set to continue.

Pilot Charged For His Role In International Cocaine Trafficking Conspiracy
NEWARK, N.J. - A Ringwood, New Jersey, man appeared in federal court today to face cocaine distribution, money laundering, and other conspiracy charges associated with his role in a scheme to import large quantities of cocaine from Guyana to New Jersey and New York, Acting U.S. Attorney William E. Fitzpatrick announced.
Khamraj Lall, 50, is charged by indictment with one count each of conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy to structure funds, conspiracy to import cocaine, and conspiracy to distribute cocaine. He was arraigned today before U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp in Trenton federal court and was detained. Lall was arrested July 22, 2015 and has been in custody since that time.
According to documents filed in this and related cases and statements made in court: From April 2011 through November 2014, Lall, a private pilot, allegedly imported large quantities of cocaine from Guyana to New Jersey and elsewhere on his privately-owned jet aircraft and then laundered the proceeds into banks in New Jersey and New York. Afterwards, he allegedly smuggled hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash back to Guyana.
Lall performed, or had others perform, over 1,287 cash deposits totaling approximately $7,549,775 into more than 20 different bank accounts. All deposits were for amounts less than $10,000 in order to circumvent certain banking reporting laws.
The indictment seeks forfeiture of multiple properties as well as two private jets that Lall purchased with structured funds or were otherwise involved in the criminal conspiracies.
The conspiracy to import and distribute cocaine charges carry a minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, a maximum of life in prison, and a $10 million fine. The conspiracy to launder money charge carries a potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. The conspiracy to structure funds charge carries a potential penalty of five years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
The charges and allegations contained in the indictment are merely accusations, and the defendant is considered innocent unless and until proven guilty. Acting U.S. Attorney Fitzpatrick credited special agents and task force officers of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Rochester Resident Office, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James. J. Hunt, IRS-Criminal Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Jonathan D. Larsen, and the Morristown, New Jersey, police department, under the direction of Chief Peter Demnitz, with the investigation leading to the charges.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jonathan M. Peck, Barry A. Kamar, and Melissa M. Wangenheim of the U.S. Attorney's Office Organized Crime/Drug Enforcement Task Force Unit, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Peter Gaeta and Sarah Devlin of the Asset Forfeiture-Money Laundering Unit, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert A. Marangola of the U.S. Attorney's Office, Western District of New York.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who texted me today to remind me what number Tuesday it was. Every week I forget and it's nice to know that there are people out there who have a better memory than I do. Also thank you for all of the messages of support for my last day of chemo, but this week is my off week, so I get to rest before the big day next Tuesday.
Which leads me to my topic of the day: anticipation.
Anticipation is a dangerous thing in some ways. When we highly anticipate something, we're excited. You get giddy just thinking about it. Your mind starts to build up all these different scenarios about how that highly anticipated event is going to pan out. And sometimes, our expectations are met. For example, this past weekend I was highly anticipating dinner with my friends at our fav pizza place, Emma's. Thinking about that pizza actually makes me drool. Said pizza did not let us down. So my expectations were met.
On the other hand, sometimes we can be disappointed. For example, my mom and I were down the shore over the summer and we decided to try Pete and Elda's, a very popular pizza place. So popular that we have actually been there before but left because the wait was so long. My family eats there a lot and talks about it a lot, and I love pizza, so this was a highly anticipated event. I was pumped. I ate my artichoke pizza, stoked that they even had artichokes as a topping because a lot of places don't, tried my mom's meatball pizza, and overrall I was not impressed. And still hungry. Maybe the pizza was good, but I was expecting phenomenal because of all of the anticipation. No hate to Pete and Elda, but I think Emma has better thin crust pizza than you guys :/.
What I'm trying to say is, anticipation can get you in trouble. Though nothing, and I mean nothing, is more satisfying than when you're so excited for something and it finally happens and it meets or even exceeds your expectations. That feeling is euphoric. But it also stinks being disappointed. Like, a lot.
Which brings me to my next point: anticipating my last. day. of. chemo. I am in the home stretch. Honestly, I'm basically home at this point, I'm just fumbling around in my pockets to find my keys to the locked door (which happens a lot here at home, I know the best window to climb through if locked out). These past six months have been filled with boredom and boredom and some throw up and more boredom. And I can't wait for it to be over. I am itching to move on from this chapter of my life. My last chemo is the most highly-anticipated event of the year, maybe possibly of my whole life, and truth be told, it makes me nervous.
I had a rough week last week, my stomach is still not right. And because of that I am anticipating the end of chemo even more. I envision myself, walking out of those hospital doors, with "We are the Champions" blasting and wind blowing in my hair. My doctors and nurses and the staff at NYP cheering me on as I wave like a queen to them. "Goodbye all, I'll remember you when I'm famous," I'll say. And then a ticker-tape parade awaits me on York Ave and we have the police escort us all the way home, as I stick my head out of the car like a dog and say "I AM A FREE WOMAN." And then I get home and there's a plate of hot dogs and a bowl of salad and sushi. And I eat it all. And I don't throw up.
And then my doctor requests a psych consult because that is all DELUSIONAL. I know that's not how it will be. Not even in a perfect world would that happen, because I don't have hair to blow in the wind. In my head when I picture this scenario, I see hair on my head. I actually forget that I am bald.
I think you can see though that this day is going to be life-changing. No, the last day of chemo does not mean I am cancer free, just yet. But it means that I don't have to deal with feeling like doodoo anymore. And that my body will finally start to recover. And my hair will grow back (although leg and armpit hair, you can stay away).
I've been anticipating this day since I started chemo, actually probably since I got diagnosed. And now that it's finally almost here, I just want it to go smoothly. That's all I ask. Honestly, I don't expect a party or being carried out of the hospital on a throne by shirtless men. I would just like to not be stuck in traffic for three hours or not have to wait for chemo to start for another four hours and maybe, just maybe, I won't have to take Neupogen shots. And I can hope that the endorphins or dopamine or adrenaline or whatever is released when you get excited, can put the nausea at bay, so that I can enjoy my first days of freedom without my head being in the toilet. But hey, if all the bad stuff does happen, and my anticipation proves to have disappointed me, I'll get through. Because I've done it all before, and I'll do it all again.
Happy Tuesday my hunnies. It's a beautiful day to do beautiful things. And it's my pal Lilly's last day of freakin' chemo. After over a year of her Tuesday's being spent at the hospital, she can finally say buh-bye. She deserves a parade. She deserves the best dance party in the world. She deserves a good old hamburger.

They said Lt. Colonel Purohit will be placed under same restrictions as an officer in "open arrest" and his movement will be confined to his residential accommodation and camp of his unit.
An officer is placed under open arrest when court martial proceedings are initiated against him. The Army had initiated a Court of Inquiry against Lt. Colonel Purohit in April 2009.
Lt. Colonel Purohit spent almost nine years in jail for his alleged role in the Malegaon blast case. Granting him bail, the top court observed that there were contradictions in the charge sheets filed by different investigating agencies.
The army sources said the Army headquarters will study the Supreme Court's order granting him bail and accordingly a call will be taken on whether to revoke his suspension from service.
They said Lt. Colonel Purohit will have to wear uniform while being in his unit but he may be permitted to wear plain clothes as well.
Lt. Colonel Purohit, who was posted with an unit under Southern Command and was an officer from intelligence corp, was suspended from service soon after he was arrested in connection with the Malegaon blast case in in late 2008.
After the report of the Court of Inquiry (CoI), Colonel Purohit's salary and allowances were restricted to 25 per cent of his total pay but it was increased to 75 per cent following an order by the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT), the sources said.
Colonel Purohit had approached the AFT after the cut in his salary following report of the CoI. "He will have to report back to his unit after getting out of jail. He can be attached to any other unit after that," said a source.
According to defence regulation service rules, while under suspension, an officer will be placed under the same restrictions as an officer in open arrest.
Six people were killed in the blast on September 29, 2008, at Malegaon, a communally-sensitive textile town in Nasik district of north Maharashtra.
The top court set aside the April 25 verdict of the Bombay High Court denying bail to Colonel Purohit, but imposed certain restrictions while granting him relief after he spent eight years and eight months in jail.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Evolutionary Fish Ecology
UEF - University of Eastern Finland - Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences
Joensuu, Finlan
We announce a two-year post doc position in the project "Evolutionary restoration of trout populations impacted by human-induced selection", funded by the Academy of Finland. The project aims to reveal the genetic basis of vulnerability to angling and pace-of-life syndromes especially with respect to migration behaviour in endangered brown trout through artificial breeding, behavioural experiments and RAD-sequencing. The project involves two PhD students.
Candidates are expected to have a strong background in evolutionary and behavioural ecology or in bioinformatics and genetics. At minimum basic knowledge of fishing and hatchery induced evolution is a necessity. The focus area (genomics or conservation-oriented evolutionary ecology) will be tailored for the chosen person, and there is flexibility to modify the research plan according to personal interests. The work will require a 1-3 month stay in Professor Robert Arlinghaus' lab at Humboldt University of Berlin/Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology in 2017. Genetic work is conducted mainly at the University of Turku, and experimental work takes place at the Kainuu Fisheries Research station in Paltamo, located 270 km north from Joensuu.
A person to be appointed as a postdoctoral researcher shall hold a suitable doctoral degree. Positions of postdoctoral researchers shall always be filled for a fixed term (UEF Administrative Regulations 30 §).
The person to be appointed to the Postdoctoral Researcher Position is required to hold a doctoral degree, which may not have been completed more than five years ago at the time of accepting the position. In this context, the 5 years refer to a net period of time, which does not include maternity leaves, parental leaves, or military service, etc.
The languages of instruction at the Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences are Finnish and English.
We encourage applications from highly motivated, mobile international candidates with demonstrated publishing skills and interest on evolutionary genetics, animal personality research and fishing/hatchery-induced evolution. We expect the successful candidate to be fluent in English. The chosen person must be able to participate in teaching courses relating to evolutionary ecology, genetics or fish ecology. The teaching takes at maximum 5-10% of the annual 1600 hour working time.

Tea Time at Lavanda Casa de Te
Karina who authors the El beso blog based in Argentina, thought I'd like a post she wrote about a tea house that she recently visited. Why of course! It's called Lavanda Casa de Te and at first glance you'd think this to be Provence but it is really Frutillar, a small German style town within Chile. What a beautiful place. Doesn't this transport you out of the office today straight into the land of lavender breezes, cozy cottages, and delicious teas and cakes?
This just makes me long to visit South America even more.
