Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Bhuvneshwar Kumar produced a calm and composed performance as they shared a crucial century-run stand to help India clinch a nerve-wracking three-wicket win over Sri Lanka by Duckworth-Lewis method in the second ODI of the five-match series at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on 24 August.
Chasing a target of 232 runs to win, India made a strong start to their innings, with openers Rohit Sharma (54) and Shikhar Dhawan (49) stitching a pivotal 109-run stand to provide the visitors with an initial thrust.
Subsequently, the Men is Blue suffered a dramatic collapse, losing their seven wickets for just 22 runs.
Right-arm Sri Lanka spinner Akila Dananjay wreaked havoc as he scalped six wickets by conceding just 39 runs to take his side on the course of a dramatic win.
However, Dhoni (38) and Bhuvneshwar (53) took India there on and batted sensibly, not giving away any chance to the Lankan bowlers and slowly and steadily ticking along.
Especially, the right-arm Indian pacer who scored his highest ODI score to help his side cross the line with 16 balls to spare.
While Bhuvneshwar becomes the first batsman to score a fifty batting at No.9 or lower in India-Lanka ODIs, he and Dhoni also went on to share a highest-ever eighth wicket partnership.
Earlier, Jasprit Bumrah bagged four wickets, Yuzvendra Chahal two while Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel chipped in with a wicket each to help India restrict Lanka to lowly target of 236-8 in their stipulated 50 overs.
Milinda Siriwardana (58) and Chamara Kapugedera (40) were notable contributors for the hosts.
However, because of the rain intervention during the innings break, the match was reduced to 47 overs with India being set a target of 231.
India, who registered a crushing nine-wicket win in the opening match in Dambulla, have now taken a 2-0 lead in the ODI series with today's win.
The two sides will now lock horns in the third ODI on August 27.

As my mother becomes older it is getting more and more difficult to be around her. For many years my parents had the ability to only "do crazy" in front of me. They had Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personalities and could shift into sane mode instantaneously if unexpected company arrived. Quite a talent don't you think? Now though it seems my mother has lost her ability to shape shift. Or maybe she just doesn't care to hide her true colors anymore.
While visiting them on Sunday my mom brought up the presidential candidates. She said and I quote "I am not voting for that Bama guy, the last thing we need is a black guy as president."
Now you must understand that you cannot use logic with my mother. When talking with a relatively sane person you can try and speak logic, maybe get them to see reason, show them how misguided their opinion is. Not so with a mentally unstable person. Not so with a narcissist. They are ALWAYS right. Reason has nothing to do with it.
She goes on to say she can't stand him and thinks his wife is stupid. STUPID! Oh, that's rich. She wants Hillary to win but if she doesn't my mom says she will break her democratic voting streak and vote republican. I am wondering what the moral implication is of me maybe NOT finding them a ride to the polls this year? I can't stand irresponsible voting.
Apparently my mother in all her infinite wisdom had this same conversation with her in- home care nurse. Her nurse happens to be a very powerful black woman, who obviously has a boatload of patience. My husband joked that he cannot believe my mother hasn't had her meds switched on her. She just laughed. I told my mom I thought she owed **** an apology but I know that will not happen.
As if it could not get any worse she then tells me she knows "they" aren't ALL bad. She said "As a child I lived next to a black family and they were very nice but …..(are you ready for this?) …..they were LIGHT." I kid you not, that is exactly what she said.
The worst part of all of this is that she spewed this crap in front of my kids. My son said to me in the kitchen "I had no idea I had a racist grandma". Ouch.
As we were leaving, the subject got onto my many faults as it always does. My mom made a huge point to tell everyone just how rebellious I have always been. How I have always marched to my own beat and even brought up my second grade teacher who could corroborate her story about my insubordinate behavior.
Quick background: In second grade I was scheduled to read aloud to the class. I was SO looking forward to it and practiced reading my favorite Amelia Bedelia book in front of the mirror for hours. I wanted to be perfect. On the day I was scheduled to read, my mother went to the school and told my teacher that I was behaving poorly which was causing her "heart condition" ( a constant threat in our home) to become dangerously worse. I was 8 years old. My teacher called me into the hallway and told me I was going to be punished for being bad and would not be allowed to read to the class. I wonder if that teacher ever considered whose heart was really being damaged in that home.
Sorry, I got off track there. Anyway, this time when my mother conveyed to my husband AND MY KIDS what a rebellious person I have always been, instead of tearing me up inside like it usually does all I could think was; THANK GOD I had the strength to rebel!!!! I would hate to think I could have been a weaker person and ended up like her.

Super Junior Kyuhyun looks the same pre-debut as post-debut.
Is it just me, or did he look a lot happier back then?

Super Junior's Sungmin imitates Brian from Fly to the Sky. It's so funny! Hahaha. He's so cuuuuuute!!!

Charice Pempengco Sings With Kyuhyun
I just discovered Charice Pempengco recently.
OH MY GOD, she's AMAZING. She's only 16 years old, and she's like 4 feet tall, but her voice is…STUNNING.
Girl's got some pipes!
If you don't know who she is, you MUST watch this video. You won't believe your ears.
The thumbprints! Awww…Boom won't release an album with her.
Heechul talking his usual "Yo yo yo yo man!"
Heechul's dance is PURE GOLD!!!
Yesung thought he was picked. ROFL!!!! The look on his face went from "Who, me?!" to complete disappointment.
There's like a bigillion more videos on youtube of Charice singing "I Will Always Love You" and "I Will Survive". All of her renditions are so wonderful. I hope she continues to be recognized for her talents.

Super Junior's Kyuhyun looks like he's about to funnel that water into his ear.
Ryeowook Imitation
Kyuhyun and Sungmin imiate Ryeowook's high-pitched singing voice. Hahahahahahaha!!! LOL to the max!
Mistaken Identity: Super Junior
If Big Bang was confusing, Super Junior was a colossal headache.
Keeping tabs on 5 people was hard enough, but 13?! That's like reaching the advanced level in fangirliness.
Though some of the boys stood out, for a long time, I was referring to everyone by nicknames, a lot of them derived from their variety show Exploring the Human Body.
Lee Teuk – The leader
Heechul – EVERYONE knows who Heechul is. But seriously, the first time I saw him, I thought he was a girl.
Kangin – Just like everyone knows who Heechul is, EVERYONE knows who Kangin is.
HanKyung – The Chinese one
Kibum – The American one
Yesung – The grasshopper (remember that episode with DBSK where they were testing how high they could jump? Yesung had some pretty hilarious results)
Shindong – The fat one
Sungmin – The really cute one
Eunhyuk – The goat (remember the laughing gas episode where they tried to get a goat to cooperate with them, but then Eunhyuk eventually took over the goat's role of tickling everyone?)
Siwon – The horse. Hahahahahaha. Anyone who's a Super Junior fan knows why.
Ryeowook – The one with the heel lifts
Donghae – Honestly, I didn't have a nickname for him. He was one of the members who would pop up, and I'd be like, "Who are you again? Where did you come from?"
Kyuhyun – See "Donghae"
And then Super Junior added more members for Super Junior-M. Ahhhhh!!! More memorization! Back to the flash cards.
Henry – The violin player
Zhou Mi – The ugly one
PS. For the longest time, I thought Sungmin and Lee Teuk were the same person. It's an honest mistake.
Super Junior Wear Eyemasks
Where can I get my hands on eyemasks like these?!
I'm not 100% sure who's behind the masks, but these are my best guess efforts:
Kyuhyun wearing Spiderman. Hahahahaha. Future superhero in the making?
Siwon wearing the panda. Ahhhh!!! Soooo cuuuteee!!!
Lee Teuk with the bear mask. Hahaha.
Ryeowook with the eyes closed. So appropriately cute.
Heechul with the eyes wide open. That has got to be the funniest look out of the bunch.
Sungmin with the big wrinkle eyes.
Kibum with the angry eyes.

By SHOTARO HAMADA/ Staff Writer

TAIKI, Hokkaido--A start-up backed by Internet entrepreneur Takafumi Horie failed for a second time June 30 to launch an inexpensive rocket into outer space.
Momo No. 2 barely lifted off before plummeting back to Earth and erupting in a fireball.
There were no immediate reports of injuries from the failed 5:30 a.m. launch, the second experienced by Interstellar Technologies Inc.
"We have never seen a failure like this," Horie, the well-known founder of Internet company Livedoor Co., told reporters. "We are thinking about what we can do to maintain some tie to the next step even as the future remains barely visible."
Company president Takahiro Inagawa said engine trouble appeared to have been the cause of the problem.
The Momo No. 2 rocket was 10 meters long, 50 centimeters in diameter and weighed 1,150 kilograms.
Company employees at the command center about 600 meters from the launch pad were ordered to evacuate for fear of being caught by falling debris.
The predecessor to Interstellar Techologies was established in 2003 to develop rockets to launch small satellites into space. The company tried to assemble the Momo rocket using readily available electronic parts as a way to cut costs.
It was seeking to become the first Japanese private-sector company to develop its own rocket capable of reaching space.
The first Momo rocket was launched in July 2017, but the engine was shut down after about a minute, when communications were lost. The rocket had reached a height of about 20 kilometers but splashed down into the ocean.
The Momo No. 2 rocket was initially scheduled for an April launch, but that had to be postponed as nitrogen gas was found to be leaking.

If you are using 1Password you really should set it up so your 1Password keychain is stored on Dropbox. The reason is for ease of syncing and keeping all the places you have 1Password installed kept up to date.
Once you have your keychain moved, for example when I add or edit an entry on my mac, then next time I load 1Password on my Windows machine they are updated automatically, I don't need to think about syncing the machines to ensure I always have the most up to date information. This also comes into it's own with your iOS devices, once you have set up the syncing from your main machine.
Select to sync from your iOS device and then you will always have all your 1Password systems up to date.
To set it up could not be easier, on your Mac for example, load 1Password, then from the 1Password menu select Preferences.
Then select "Move to Dropbox" as shown below
Once this is done, allow dropbox to fully sync up, then from there set your iOS device to sync using dropbox. It really could not be any simpler.
I am always interested in feedback so feel free to add any comments, or you can mail me here, also if you would like to submit a quick tip with full credit and links back to your site then also feel free to contact me.

Verizon FiOS Customers Are Now Getting Super-Fast Netflix Service
For most of 2014, Netflix streaming speeds on Verizon's FiOS fiber-optic broadband service have been falling like a rock. By this summer, average Netflix speeds for FiOS users had slowed to a crawl at less than 1.6 Mbps. That's barely above the 1.5 Mbps connection speed recommended by Netflix for basic streaming.
Some users experienced even worse performance, with long buffering times that Netflix blamed on Verizon. However, in the last few months, average Netflix streaming speeds on FiOS have doubled to 3.17 Mbps. FiOS customers are reaping the benefit of a new "paid peering" arrangement between Netflix and Verizon.
Netflix straining the Internet
In the past few years, Netflix has put increasing strain on the U.S. Internet infrastructure as it has grown its subscriber base, encouraged subscribers to spend more time using the service, and introduced higher-quality streaming options. Netflix now accounts for more than 34% of downstream Internet traffic in North America.
Rising Netflix usage has swamped the capacity of Internet service providers at key choke points during peak hours. Given Netflix's ever-increasing demands on their infrastructure, many ISPs were not inclined to increase their capacity without getting some level of compensation from Netflix for the amount of traffic it was sending over their networks at peak times.
This caused Netflix streaming quality to fall across a wide range of ISPs throughout late 2013 and early 2014. For example, FiOS customers achieved average speeds -- the technical term is actually "throughput" -- of 2.2 Mbps while streaming Netflix videos last fall. That's comfortably above the 1.5 Mbps level Netflix recommends for decent streaming quality.
Streaming speeds fell for most of the next few months, though, bottoming out at less than 1.6 Mbps. Similar slowdowns occurred for Verizon's DSL customers, as well as customers at other major ISPs like Comcast and AT&T.
Holding the Internet hostage?
The slowdowns experienced by millions of Netflix users in the U.S at one point or another in the past year has led to many theories about what is going on and who is to blame. Some users have blamed the Internet providers for deliberately slowing down ("throttling") Netflix speeds.
Meanwhile, Level 3 Communications -- one of the firms that delivers Netflix content over the Internet -- argued that U.S. ISPs were refusing to make basic upgrades to their networks in order to extort big payments from Level 3, Netflix, and other firms carrying large amounts of traffic.
Netflix wasn't quite so crass. Earlier this year, it told investors that it didn't think ISPs were actively throttling Netflix traffic. However, in March, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings began to push for a concept he calls "strong net neutrality." In essence, this would require ISPs to provide sufficient capacity at key interconnection points to all sources of Internet traffic at no charge.
Paid peering, for now
Since this strong net neutrality doesn't exist today, Netflix has been striking "paid peering" deals with various ISPs this year in order to ensure better service for its customers. This involves Netflix paying a fee to the ISP for a direct connection to its network. In essence, Netflix is covering some of the cost to the ISP of upgrading its infrastructure to handle the additional traffic.
Netflix reached this type of deal with Verizon in late April. At first, this didn't seem to fix the problem -- Netflix speeds on Verizon FiOS and DSL connections bottomed out this summer. However, in the last few months, Verizon FiOS has become much faster.
In August, FiOS moved up 2 spots in Netflix's speed rankings among major U.S. ISPs. Then, in September, it jumped all the way from the No. 10 spot to No. 1, edging out a variety of cable companies. Verizon's regular DSL service continues to be near the bottom of the Netflix ISP Speed index, though.
Even the average FiOS speed of 3.17 Mbps still isn't as fast as the average speeds at many Canadian and European ISPs. Still, that could be partially attributable to the fact that Internet video adoption is unusually high in the U.S. While the Netflix-Verizon paid peering deal isn't perfect, it has vastly improved the Netflix streaming experience for FiOS customers.
Paid peering may be here to stay
Obviously, Netflix would love to get the speed improvements it has recently achieved across multiple ISPs (including Verizon) without paying for them. However, Netflix's domestic streaming contribution margin has grown nicely this year despite the payments, indicating that the costs are very affordable for Netflix.
The "strong net neutrality" provisions favored by Reed Hastings are unlikely to become law. Since the days of dial-up, ISPs have advertised based on the maximum bandwidth available -- actual performance has always varied. (Indeed, when dial-up was the norm, at peak times it could be impossible to get on the Internet at all!)
Reed Hastings' suggestion that ISPs should be required to deliver the advertised throughput 24/7 no matter what would force ISPs like Verizon to spend huge sums of money to expand network capacity or reduce their advertised speeds. Neither scenario would help consumers very much.
The status-quo seems to be working well right now. Netflix customers across numerous ISPs are getting better Netflix streaming quality than ever before, with Verizon FiOS leading the way. In the end, that's all that most Netflix users care about.
Your cable company is scared, but you can get rich
You know cable's going away. But do you know how to profit from the rise of Internet TV? There's $2.2 trillion out there to be had. Currently, cable grabs a big piece of it. That won't last. And when cable falters, three companies are poised to benefit. Click here for their names. Hint: Netflix isn't one of them.

The first chorus of José Mourinho's name had gone up even as the teams were lining up for their pre-match handshake, the raucous refrain echoing from Shed End to Matthew Harding Stand. It was maintained as Branislav Ivanovic thumped in the opening goal of the rest of Chelsea's season, and revisited as Pedro Rodríguez skewered a second, before four months of frustration finally came pouring out. "Where were you when we were shit?" bellowed the locals at their own in a din that eclipsed even the celebrations. Their point was made.
Somewhere in deepest darkest Sussex, as he headed back from the Amex Stadium after watching Aitor Karanka's Middlesbrough end Brighton's long unbeaten record, the Portuguese must have offered up a wry smile as he fielded the score updates. Admittedly, his former players were on a hiding to nothing here. Lose for a 10th time this campaign and they risked ending the day as damaged goods in the relegation zone. Suddenly recapture some of last season's sparkle and they would stand accused of selling Mourinho short, of performing only once the man who oversaw last season's title success had safely left the building. This was an occasion to accept the catcalls, shoulder the abuse and merely attempt to arrest the decline while simultaneously impressing the new man looking on from the West Stand.
It all made for a surreal occasion, that undercurrent of unrest never far away even as Sunderland, desperately poor from the outset, were initially overwhelmed with ease. Oscar, such a fitful presence previously this term, was a man possessed, performing his Rabona cross and a flurry of slick back-heels, oblivious maybe to the banner fluttering at the other end of the pitch which declared: "Hang your heads in shame." Other scrawled protests were just as succinct, from "You let us down" to accusations of "Judas players" and demands for the dismissal of Michael Emenalo, the director of football who had opted against mentioning Mourinho's name in his post-sacking interview with the club's in-house television channel on Thursday evening. He was the figure who had publicly mentioned "palpable discord" between the manager and his players.
Throw in the ferocious receptions granted Cesc Fàbregas and Diego Costa, with another placard outing them – most probably inaccurately, as it happens – and the absent Eden Hazard as "the three rats" who had piqued Mourinho's paranoia, and this was a mood of mutiny. The boos rang out again when both Spain internationals were substituted, the striker fixing his glare on his detractors as he strutted from the turf. He had left the stadium, showered and changed, shortly after 5pm, with no incentive to stick around.
"It's not one or two individuals in that position, but all of us," said John Terry. "We're all in this position." If the spite lacked the intensity of the dissent that had greeted Rafael Benítez following his appointment as interim coach back in 2012, an uproar focused on one man and sustained throughout a tenure that did actually yield silverware, then it would still have been noted by Roman Abramovich, surveying the scene from up on high in his box. At his side sat a flat-capped Didier Drogba, an icon in these parts who, while he may not yet be ready to join the coaching staff even on a temporary basis, will surely have a role to play at the club in future. Chelsea insisted his presence here was merely as a supporter.
Then came Guus Hiddink. The Dutchman peered down through his spectacles at those he will inherit for the next six months, unmoved as the first-half goals flew in and studiously becalmed after the break as Oscar converted the penalty that reinforced the hosts' dominance. He will have recognised, even in victory, that the landscape has changed at this club from his time as an interim six years ago.
As comfortable as the first 53 minutes had been, even this disappointingly slapdash Sunderland team gave their opponents the jitters for periods in what time remained. Fabio Borini scored and should have converted another. Thibaut Courtois, still rusty after that lengthy injury absence, was indecisive in some of his handling even if he did summon a smart save from Jermain Defoe late on. Those scares were more indicative of what awaits Hiddink next week: there is a vulnerability that Mourinho could not exorcise, and which the new man must address.
The team he had taken over from Luiz Felipe Scolari had also been underperforming, but nowhere close to the extent of the current crop. The new manager's first selection at Villa Park, in late February 2009, had been bolstered by a spine of Petr Cech, Terry, Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack and Drogba. It was a team that merely needed a gentle reminder of their obvious qualities, a pointer back towards their strengths, rather than one who have been scorched by months of dismal failings to the extent that self‑doubt is everywhere.
The current crop lacks such leadership, for all that Terry remains in the ranks. The fact that Costa, Fàbregas and Hazard, three of last year's inspirations, have been singled out by some reflects the scale of the task confronted by the 69-year-old. Chelsea must hope he, too, can recall how to eke out the best from his squad, given his own recent failings with Russia, Turkey, Anzhi Makhachkala and Holland.
"Guus is a great man-manager as well, and his training is very intense," recalled Terry, though even he could not help but veer off message. "But our thoughts are with the manager." That was a reference to Mourinho. One suspects it will not be the last.

Kevin Durant won the first championship of his career with the Golden State Warriors' win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, and among the first people he celebrated with was his mother.
Durant's relationship with his mother, of course, became famous after his tear-jerking MVP speech in 2014 in which he dedicated the award to her.
After winning the championship, Durant and his mom united at halfcourt and shared a heartwarming moment.

Moments later, in an interview with ESPN's Doris Burke, Durant's mother interrupted him to remind him, "Don't matter what nobody say, you did it!"

Idioms are pretty cool, aren't they?
Once you wrap your head around them it's not rocket science, so hang in there, you can definitely nail them.
When I arrived in Toronto just 5 years ago I was bombarded with idioms I didn't understand. What's the "hang" doing with patience? Why do I need to wrap my ...wait, what?! Head?! How is that … even possible…?
"Recovery" from speaking with locals in Toronto meant, in a strange way, learning how to speak, not from a text book but from (and with!) real life people.
Idioms and everyday expressions play a huge role in that.
So, when my English speaking friends explain the meaning of the idiom they just used, I feel like "Yay! I've found the missing piece of the puzzle" kind of feeling.
The one that makes the meaning complete and adds some spice and fun in the things we say.
So, are you ready to add some spice to your Greek and amaze your friend Nikos when you say:
1. Κάνω τον ψόφιο κοριό.
What does it mean?
Κάνω means I do or I'm doing since Greek has only one Present tense.
A verb in an idiom means that you can conjugate it and change the person according to whom you're talking about. Κάνω is also used as "pretend".
Τον ψόφιο κοριό is in accusative form and it literally means "the dead bedbug". (Really.)
Where & How to Use It
Imagine a dead bedbug. Yeah, it's yucky.
However, you don't notice it since it's not moving so you feel relieved you're finally done with these nasty creatures. You fall asleep without checking twice.
(Next thing you know is waking up with lots of bites; nope, it wasn't dead after all and you better get rid of bedbugs - dead or not!)
This is what this idiom is all about. Someone playing dead, pretending they aren't paying attention so they can escape the consequences. Of course, they do understand what's going on.
Use this idiom in an informal context. If you find it too weird to involve dead bedbugs, you can use "κάνω την πάπια" (the duck) instead. It means the same thing. Without the bites.
2. Την πατάω.
What does it mean?
That's a simple one. It means "I step on her". That's it.
Wait! Who's "her?"
I'll be honest with you. I don't know.
According to this page it's the banana peel which is μπανανόφλουδα - a feminine noun in Greek. "I step on the banana peel" seems pretty slippery doesn't it?
However, there's just the feminine pronoun την in this sentence so we can't be sure if there's a banana peel really involved..
Where & How to Use It
"Την πατάω" means I get unlucky with something, things turn out worse than I expect because I'm not prepared or careful enough.
This is definitely used in casual conversations. For example you can say "Πήγα σήμερα στο μουσείο αλλά την πάτησα. Ήταν κλειστό." (I went to the museum today but "I stepped on her". It was closed.)
3. Ξέφραγο αμπέλι!
What does it mean?
It means "an unfenced vineyard".
Imagine this.
You're walking under the hot Greek sun, trying to get to the golden beach the locals promised you'd find at the end of the hillside.
Suddenly you see red, juicy grapes in a seemingly deserted vineyard with no fence around it. You don't think twice, you just get in, have some and then bring some more grapes with you to the beach.
Where & How to Use It
Greeks use this expression when we complain about a situation out of hand and especially when you feel your rights violated. Use it with the verb to be: "Δεν είναι ξέφραγο αμπέλι εδώ!"
You can say this to your neigbour who keeps stealing your parking lot. (Just don't tell them I told you.)
4. Έριξα μαύρη πέτρα πίσω μου ...
What does it mean?
Έριξα is the simple past tense of ρίχνω, to throw something. Μαύρη πέτρα is the black stone. And πίσω μου means "behind me".
"I threw a black stone behind me". It means to forget everything and anything and start from zero.
Strange? Too dramatic? It is one of those idioms we don't really know the story behind them. Do they describe a habit or ritual of the past? Do they express a lost in the centuries meaning? Still we use it a lot, however.
Where & How to Use It
Anne left her old job.
Once burned out and intimidated by her boss, she now feels very relieved to start fresh and she loves her new job. We can say she "έριξε μαύρη πέτρα πίσω της" as she left this part of her life behind.
Although idioms are usually used in casual conversations, this idiom can be used in almost any dialogue or story since it describes a situation. Anne wouldn't probably say this to her old boss's face, but if she wanted to sound assertive, she could.
5. Παίρνω αέρα.
What does it mean?
Παίρνω means "I take" and αέρα means "air". This has two meanings. It's similar to "get some air", for example outside. It also means someone "I take liberties".
Where & How to Use It
Πάω μία βόλτα να πάρω αέρα. (I'm going for a walk to get some air). The Greek's favourite. When life's overwhelming, just go outside. Have a coffee. Go by the sea. See some friends. Take some fresh air in.
Not too much of it. The other meaning of the sentence is, as we saw above, "take liberties". In this case it's used like this: "Πολύ αέρα έχεις πάρει. Μην μου μιλάς έτσι!" (Too much air you've taken. Don't talk to me like that!).
6. Μου κόπηκε το αίμα!
What does it mean?
It means "my blood was cut". Κόπηκε is the simple past tense of κόβεται and it's the third person in singular.
Since you're talking about yourself, use the pronoun "μου" to refer to something that happened to you. Αίμα is the neuter noun for "blood".
No, this is not an idiom from a horror movie! In fact it means "I was terrified". Probably I was so terrified that it felt as if my blood circulation stopped for a moment; thus this idiom.
Where & How to Use It
I gave this out already: Use it when you watch horror movies! Or when you see cockroaches in the bathroom. Because it's kind of the same thing, right?
7. Κάτσε στ'αβγά σου.
What does it mean?
Κάτσε or κάθησε is the imperative form of the verb κάθομαι, second person of singular.
Στ' is actually the article with the preposition σε+τα , which, after the phonetic rule, loses the vowel. This is why we say στ'αβγά instead of στα αβγά. Αβγά means eggs.
Sit on your eggs. Stay put or stay uninvolved. Don't go looking for trouble.
Where & How to Use It
Well, let's think of a hen who's just sitting there on her eggs, peaceful and calm, avoiding all trouble.
Use this idiom when you're warning someone to not interfere with something or you just say you want to stay out of it.
Or not! As you've noticed, most of the idioms today include verbs so they can be rather versatile, for example we can use the negative form: Θα τους μιλήσω. Δεν θα καθήσω στ'αβγά μου! (I'll talk to them. I won't just sit on my eggs!)
There you have it! 7 + 7 more very common idioms to understand and use. For the first part read and listen here.

Baccarat was, until recently, a somewhat ritualistic game of the high-rollers, available in separate rooms in casinos for improved privacy and security. Later, with the game's popularity rising, smaller scale versions were developed for lower betting casino players. With the growing popularity of online casinos in New Zealand, baccarat became a game accessible for everyone.
Baccarat is quite different from the other popular casino table games, in a lot of aspects – counting of card values, participating in the game, and the rules governing the actions of the players. Also, it requires a much different playing strategy – meaning no strategy. Why? Let me explain.
Baccarat is ruled by pure mathematical probabilities. It's a game of chance, in the literal meaning of the world. There is no way to predict the outcome of any hands, especially when several decks of cards are mixed together in the shoe – the box used for storing and dealing cards in casino table games.
Mathematics have their say: in Baccarat, chances to win are almost exactly 50%. Almost – banker hands win in 50.68 per cent of cases, except for ties. The only one to be sure to win in baccarat is the house – the 5% commission on all winning bets is a steady income.
For the one betting, baccarat is a game of good guessing and money management. It is important to keep your bets at bay, never bet more than you can afford to lose. Try to set your limits – when sitting down at a baccarat table, decide how much is the minimum amount you are comfortable losing, and stick to your limits. Also, don't give in to the 'just one more round' and 'i have a winning streak' urges – walk away with your winnings.
Set your limits: when sitting down to play, set a maximum and minimum limit, and when you reach it, walk away. For example, when you start to play with $100 in your pocket, decide to leave if you lose $50 or win $50. This way you can leave the table either with $50 or with $150, and you also keep your self respect.
By its very nature, baccarat doesn't leave much room to player actions. It's a game of pure chance – the only decision you, as a participant, can make is to bet. Learn the rules – it is important to know exactly what is happening. Other than that – may the godess Fortuna bless you with a winning streak and enough self control to walk away with money in your pocket.

My good ol' Macbook is starting to show signs of the time. It shuts off and the fan becomes noisy. It has already been repaired once, and the guy said to change it whenever I have the chance as it has made its time... and those issues are known for my model/year.
So, my ideal choice would be a 21" iMac with Retina screen. I can either buy it here or abroad.
If I buy it abroad: could it pass unnoticed at the airport, if a tourist friend brings it in? Or since it is a desktop computer, it is an unlikely choice for a tourist?
And what if I bring it in? I thought to buy an older model* so that the invoice price is lower and in case I am busted, the import tax won't be overwhelming.
Last year, I went at the AFIP office in Aeroparque to declar my electronics before leaving the country: my iPhone 5 and my 2010 MacBook were deemed 'too old to be of interest' and so only my 2013 iPad made it on the list. The AFIP guy said that anything that is over 1.5 years old does not interest them. However, I cannot find a reference for this 1.5-year mark. If that is true, I just have to buy an older model while I visit my family in Italy.

Sydney's train network was thrown into chaos after a death on the track left peak hour commuters stranded for up to 50 minutes.
Police said a person deliberately put themselves in the path of the train at Wahroonga station and was killed in the early hours of Monday morning.
Services along the northern line between Hornsby and Gordon stations were shut down for about two hours, only beginning again soon before 8am.
Commuters took to social media in confusion, with a few in Wahroonga saying they saw dozens of emergency services in attendance
Thousands of passengers had to be re-routed through Ryde, Macquarie Park and even Strathfield to reach the CBD and other part of Sydney.
Sydney Trains advised that even though services were running again by 8am, passengers would still need to leave extra time.
Some said it took them up to 50 minutes longer than usual to reach the CBD after being redirected back through Hornsby.
Commuters took to social media in confusion, with a few in Wahroonga saying they saw dozens of emergency services in attendance.
Services along the northern line between Hornsby and Gordon stations were shut down for about two hours, only beginning again soon before 8am
'Wahroonga train station closed this morning. Police, fire and ambos everywhere,' one wrote on Facebook.
The problems were made worse by urgent signal equipment repairs at North Ryde.

ULMA drainage channels in the historical Lord´s Cricket Ground
The home of cricket trust in ULMA for its update.
For any further information you may require, please contact us.
Established in 1814, Lord's Cricket Ground stages some of the biggest and most exciting series in world cricket, alongside housing the world's oldest sports museum.
When a proposed £200 million renovation plan was launched in 2013, sections of the ground were updated to meet the incredible standards of this international sporting venue.
The project took a diverse approach to the capacities of ULMA's F300K00R Polymer Concrete large capacity Channel, installing 50 metres of the drain to house electrical and communications cables between the staging and pitch.

What are common uses of a mobile command center? These vehicles most frequently used as mobile bases and communication centers in the field. These units are often stationed near a crisis center or natural disaster. They are also designed to operate autonomously in areas where electricity, water, and food is unavailable or in limited supply.
Government agencies, law enforcement, fire departments and health care organizations use mobile command centers in different ways, but the reality is you can accomplish almost any desired goal inside one of these advanced units. As long as the command center is preinstalled with the right equipment and designed thougtfully, you can accomplish the same goals as in a fixed facility, albeit usually in a smaller space.
In this post, we catalog common ways agencies use mobile command centers. If you're in the market for a mobile command center, we also recommend starting by organizing a list of use cases for the unit along with specialized equipment needed to complete each task.
It's critical that you work with a manufacturer that takes the time to not just understand the equipment you need installed, but your workflows as well. Otherwise, staff could end up with too little space to operate inside the vehicle efficiently and comfortably. If your organization is planning to operate in areas left without electricity, power requirements must also be considered. By understanding your organizational needs first, an experienced manufacturer will be able to ensure the mobile facility has been designed to meet your needs in the field.
Organizations That Use Mobile Command Centers
Fire Departments: Fire fighters find themselves in remote areas without nearby access to food, restrooms, or shelter for days or even weeks at a time. The mobile command center above has been outfitted to help fire departments provide better support for serious fires. Some of the features in this unit include a decontamination shower and restroom for firemen and women in the field. There is also a built in control room that serves as a dispatch and communication hub while in the field that includes WIFI access. Finally, there is a crow's nest positioned the top of the unit to survey the scene.
Law Enforcement: Police departments are another group that benefit from these units, although the equipment installed is different than fire departments. From a communication standpoint, dispatchers can be setup to provide nearby surveillance using direct satellite communication systems and night vision cameras mounted to remote controlled telescopic poles.
Conference rooms can also be installed that offers a mobile strategy and planning area to conduct sting operations. These units can also be installed with lockers and storage units to transport supplies. Kitchen areas and bathrooms can also be installed to support longer term operations.
Government Agencies: There are many government agencies that can provide support with disaster relief in times that require an immediate response. These units can be equipped to provide basic health care, food service, and temporary shelter for those impacted by a major storm or other natural disaster. Groups that regularly utilize units like this in natural disasters include FEMA, International Medical Corp., and The Red Cross.
Hospitals and Healthcare Organizations: Hospitals often need a mobile command center to provide support where patients need help most. Mobile command centers can aid in processing patients, providing routine checkups, and even conduct emergency on-site surgeries if needed.
Of course these command centers are not only useful in disaster situations. Units can be converted to assist in everyday scenarios by hold blood drives. Other units can travel to areas where patients, including the elderly, may not be able to access high-quality healthcare services.
If you're researching a mobile command center, contact M&R Specialty Trailers and Trucks. We specialize in building mobile units that meet your organizations specialized needs and specifications.

The worst part of visiting the temples of Bagan in Burma was that time it looked like my girlfriend and I might be spending a night on the street.
I should have been better prepared, I guess. In fact, when my beloved Ta told me it was 'Monk Day', a Buddhist holiday, my first priority should have been booking a bus out of there the minute we arrived at the guest house.
Alas, I left it too late. About 48 hours before our planned departure from Nyaung U (a modern town, replete with hotels, just down the road from the plain of ancient temples), I asked the guy at reception if he could arrange transport for us.
"The buses are full," he said. "It's a holiday weekend and people have come here from all over the country. They'll all be going home in the next few days. I'm sorry."
"In that case," I said, "we'll need to stay here another night."
"Well, we're booked up," he said. "So are most of the other hotels. You'll just have to go from door to door, asking if they have a room available."
(Needless to say, I'm putting fluent English words into this guy's mouth.)
To cut a long story short, we found a room quite easily. But to get out of this town – more to the point, to reach the southern city of Yangon (formerly Rangoon) and fly back to Bangkok – I had to shell out $200 for a domestic flight, one day later than we'd planned.
As he booked the tickets over the phone with a local agent, the guy at the hotel misread the name in my passport. He read my surname first, so that the person on the ticket was some fella called Ryan David. Despite assurances that no one would mind, this worried me until we reached Nyaung U Airport, at which point – realising that it didn't even have electronic ticketing – I calmed down.
Our day of sightseeing, incidentally, was tiring but fun. A man took us from temple to temple with his horse and cart, which was charming and quaint enough, but repeatedly climbing in and out of the buggy it in the blistering heat left me feeling like a shattered old codger.
I should also say that Bagan is the only place in Burma where I heard George Orwell mentioned. On two occasions that day, young people tried to sell me a paperback of his first novel, Burmese Days.
I posted this photo on the Orwell Society's Facebook page, noting that the book was probably bootlegged. Orwell's son, Richard Blair, shot back with a rueful comment. "Was it ever thus!"

Dr Farooq, Omar greet people at onset of Rabi ul Awal Ensure devotees all possible civic amenities
Ensure devotees all possible civic amenities, including transport, drinking water, electricity supply: Sagar to administration
Srinagar, November 08 (Scoop News)-National Conference President Dr. Farooq Abdullah and vice president Mr. Omar Abdullah have greeted people on the commencement of the Rabi ul Awal.
The duo said that the month of Rabi ul Awal marks the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the greatest humanitarian that ever walked on earth.
In his message Dr. Farooq prayed that the month advances peace and prosperity in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. "The Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) life is a continuous source of inspiration for the mankind. His detractors also referred to him as "the Truthful" (Al Sadiq) and "the Faithful," he said
Party Vice President Omar Abdullah impressed upon the people to follow the path shown by the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). While greeting the people on the commencing of the month of Rabi ul Awal, Omar said that holy Prophet (PBUH) is the blessing for whole of mankind. "One who returned love for hatred," he said.
Party senior leaders, legislators and functionaries have also greeted the people at the outset of the month of Rabi ul Awal.
Meanwhile party General Secretary Haji Ali Muhammad Sagar on Thursday visited the Kalaspora Shrine and took stock of the Milad arrangement at the shrine.
Sagar impressed upon the authorities to ensure that the devotees doesn't have to face any hitch during the blessed days.
General Secretary in his meeting with the officials from SMC, PDD, Health Department and Revenue at the shrine urged the need of maintaining glitch free electricity and water supply during the blessed month.
He implored upon the governor administration to ensure devotes all possible civic amenities, including transport, drinking water and uninterrupted electric supply.
He said that the incumbent governor administration should make sure that ample arrangements are put in place at Asaar e Sharief Hazratbal which witnesses a huge rush of devotees. He said that incumbent governor administration should also ensure unbridled and glitch free facilities at the shrines of Jinab Sahib Soura, Asar e Shareef Pinjura, Aham Shareef Bandipura, Kaba Margh, Makhama, Sheikh Rajab Sahib, Asar e Shareef Kushaan sahib and Asaar e Shareef Kalashpora.

Flowers are beginning to bloom through the cracks in the foundation that formerly was the economy in the state of Michigan. With the precipitous closure of auto manufacturing plants, and the strong ripples throughout the state's employment base, the state of Michigan has come close to the economic bottom. Now come the opportunities for rebirth.
The popular press is replete with stories about fantastic bargains in the inner-Detroit real estate market, with some foreclosed houses selling for less that $2,000. This is opening the door for non-profits and start-ups to put down roots. With the lure of a 40% tax credit on production costs (42% in the inner city), Michigan has become the locale for movies such as Gran Torino, and various television shows.
One long-lingering question is when would abandoned auto plants be converted to green tech uses? The Detroit Free Press reports that, at least in the case of one old Ford plant, the answer is "soon".
The Free Press says that Ford Motor Company has struck a tentative deal to sell its Wixom Assembly Plant to a battery manufacturer (Extreme Power), and a company that builds photovoltaic ssystems (Clairvoyant Energy). When it made Lincoln Town Cars and Thunderbirds, the Wixom plant employed 5,000 people. When it closed its doors two years ago, there were 1,000 workers. Xtreme would start out with 1,500 jobs, and Clairvoyant another 300.
Key to the deal is legislation that would raise the cap on state tax credits – something that looks like smart public policy under current conditions. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of opportunities to bring workers back to the auto plants, and to make the jobs green at the same time.

text: May 2017 - ROMANIA! May 10, 2017 Words have become worlds and we are officially in Romania!Several years ago the Lord began speaking to us about Europe saying that He was flooding the continent with His presence and that we were to be part of it. Shortly after this we began exploring Eastern Europe in search of need. When Genea and I crossed the border into Romania for the first time, we looked at each other and knew that this was the country He wanted RDSN to be working in.We found a nation with rolling green hills, rich earth, a beautiful people and at the same time overwhelming need. It has been less than thirty years since the fall of communism and the land and the people are still in the process of healing as they embrace the freedom they had been starving for. In such a small country of just over 19 million people, there are over 60,000 orphans and many more children who are living at risk. In the poorer communities family has broken down, the majority of the children do not even make it to the fourth grade. These kids do not know the meaning of family, the very idea of the kingdom. Through a series of divine appointments we found ourselves in the city of Sighişoara which is in the heart of Transylvania. It once was among the most influential cities in the nation, a center of science and the arts. We began to look for vacant land surrounding the city that could serve as a base for orphan and family care as well as a church missions school and base. Over and over we were shown small pieces of property with really big price tags. A friend asked if we would be interested in seeing a clothing factory in the center of the city, to which we declined having our hearts set on building from the ground up. He was persistent in His desire for us to see it, and His persistence paid off and we agreed to take a tour. Our first view of the building was startling, five stories and over 80,000 square feet. All of our main campus buildings in Mexico could just fit inside. As Genea and I walked through the doors of the factory we heard Holy Spirit say "this is it". Immediately, the mere thought of the cost of such a facility was overwhelming and my thoughts ran to, we need to find vacant land and build because of the cost. It was in that moment that the Lord asked me, why would you want to spend 29 years building something that you can have right now. It was right then that He stirred an urgency inside of us as we thought about the lives that could be saved now and not later.We came home to Mexico and began putting together the team who will be moving this June to Sighişoara and raising money amongst friends and partners. It has been a long year of negotiating with the owner of the factory and God has been faithful. We were originally informed the sales price was $3.7 million but over the course of the year was reduced to $1.4 million. Last month we signed a purchase contract for the facility and made the downpayment of $265,000. We are continually in awe of His provision and the generosity of his people. Romania Team (left to right): Brooklyn, Becky, Harrison, Jim, Jonathan, Kerrington, Eduardo, Diana, Jessica and Sierra. We invite you to pray and celebrate with us as we prepare to move the team this summer to begin our part of what the Lord has in store for Romania. We need to raise $1.1 million to finish paying for the building and while that sounds like such a large sum of money it doesn't even come close to the value of the lives that will be saved and transformed.Thank you for being part of the RDSN the Mission's journey, Jimmy & Genea Horner

What GCSE Language Should You Take
Choosing your GCSEs (and more importantly choosing the right ones) can be a pretty big thing; ensuring that you choose the right language for your skillset can be the difference between passing with flying colours and struggling along to scrape a pass.
And if you want to look at it from a purely lazy point of view, the language you choose can be the difference between insurmountable stress and an easier ride. So with all that in mind this guide aims to walk you through the process of choosing between the languages of French, Spanish and German.
The benefits of GCSE Spanish
Spanish can make for a wonderfully exciting GCSE; this language provides a challenge that is quite surmountable with a little work, which is made all the more enjoyable by the structure of the language.
To help you master this exciting language a Spanish tutor can help you from start to finish; for those with weaker skills they can help build from the most basic of bases, and for those that are more advanced, a Spanish tutor can help you achieve that all important A grade.
Spain makes for one of the most popular holiday destinations in the whole of Europe and given the temperatures it offers as compared to many other European countries this is none so surprising. Additionally, if you want to be visiting Ibiza or Magaluf in years to come then this language will serve you well, and you may even be able to jump the queue in local bars with your helpful Spanish language skillset.
The upsides to GCSE German
Whilst many may regard German as the more difficult of GCSE languages to learn this rumour is somewhat ill founded. German is a language that can be easily mastered throughout a GCSE course, and once you've got the hang of the specific way it is spoken, and the unique sounds of certain words, you'll be away in no time.
Like Spanish, learning German can open up a whole new world of culture and way of life. Visiting Germany really is an experience, and becoming accustomed to the efficiency and briskness of the German populous is a surprisingly enlightening encounter.
French: Learning the language of love at GCSE level
French makes for a popular choice for GCSE, however many people we teach at First Tutors find that German and Spanish provide a more engaging challenge. French may also be tempting given that it is generally the language that has been taught the longest, as schools begin to teach this subject during middle school.
Language GCSEs needn't be an uphill struggle, they can be fun, exciting and engaging, and with the help of a tutor you can go beyond an average grade and perhaps even reach A grade level. A tutor will adapt their sessions to suit you, your skillset and ensure that yoursquo;re progressing as you should be.
Having one on one interaction can make a massive difference compared to the crowded class rooms of today, so book today and see for yourself just how engaging a tuition session can be.

I had quite an eventful year and when looking back I can say I am grateful to be surrounded by so many great people and enjoying my life doing what I love. While no life is picture perfect all in all I can't complain and am blessed to have had the opportunities I have been allowed.
Thank you to everyone who has made 2013 so special!
As everyone knows traveling is one of my ultimate favorite things in life and this year has been a record!
Not only did I have a chance to visit my family and friends back in Michigan twice this year spending time in Detroit and camping along Lake Michigan. I was also able to spend a week up in the woods of Upstate NY with a few of my favorite people.
Home has come to mean relaxation for me.
Spain & Morocco. Need I say more? Such inspirational countries. Spain is one of my favorite places to visit. The food, the people, the architecture, the weather. Everything what I look for in a place can be found here.
Morocco was special as my first foray into Africa and while it's only the tip I am sure I will be back. An eye opening experience that left me wanting more.
Also, one word: Alhambra.
Prague. Again, hello? It's Prague. What is not to love. I had been to the city before but sadly it had been 10 years and coming back my love of the city was again awakened. Everywhere you look is picture perfect among the spire of all the buildings and the bridges that connect the city I was inspired. Wonderful people and culture.
Switzerland in general is beautiful. Not a big surprise. For some the ocean is everything but I am always astounded by the mountains. Every. Single. Time. It's perfection. Although Zurich only has the mountains in the background, as opposed to it's French counterpart Geneva, it was nice to have a glimpse.
Last Christmas I spent in Lausanne which was also my first time in Switzerland. Being surrounded by such nature really made me regard it with even more respect than ever before.
Last January I was in Florence for Pitti. It was my first time there and while I had heard much about it none of it made me ready for how beautiful of a city it really was! I have been in several other place in Italy but none of them could compare when it came to the picturesque Italia that Americans think of Europe. Especially living in Germany where so many building shave been built after the war it is quite a surprise to see such awe inspiring history.
Obviously traveling around the country I currently live in happened every weekend. Walking around Dusseldorf, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden... I am hoping in the next year to travel to the south in the coming year.
For Christmas my family came to visit and I was happy to show them my daily life as well as visit different cities (and Christmas markets) in the area. What makes traveling and living abroad all the better is having people to share it with.
I look forward to the coming year knowing that it will be full packed and I am ready for the ride.
Happy New Year 2014!
Let's make it count!
