Mister Baby Dermocosmesi Face cream
Face cream
7 Active Ingredients to preserve a baby skin natural hydration and health.
The skin at birth and during the first years of life has physicochemical properties different from the adult skin. Its structure and functions are not yet fully developed and is not yet completely able to create the natural protective barrier of the hydro-lipid film. For this reason baby's skin is extremely delicate, more sensitive to chemical, physical and environmental agents and therefore more subject to irritation and dryness.
The Mister Baby Advanced Research Center put the knowledge of its pediatricians, obstetricians and dermatologists and its prestigious collaboration with major universities to the service of children. From their great experience comes the innovative NMF7, the new active component developed and patented after years of research by the Advanced Research Center that replicates the natural action of Natural Moisturizing Factor in hydrating baby's skin. Its seven natural components, some of which naturally and physiologically present on the skin, give this principle the ability to recreate the moisturizing mix of the dermis, keeping the right degree of humidity of the corneal layer and bettering the barrier function and the absorbent power of the skin.

text: The costume design for Hamlet was based on the Edwardian era. They include silhouettes and stylistic elements of that time period but also were blended with a modern view. Video was incorporated with light and sound to play a pivotal visual role. This can be seen even in the costumes as the Ghost was created both of fabric and video/light/sound. This production included two runs. First in Minneapolis and then reprised in St. Cloud six months later. These pictures are from both productions.

In S@udi you probably need to get use of the presence of soldiers everywhere. We were surprised at the numerous checkpoints along the way. But there are more later. Entering Elisa's compound you will find armies guarding the place complete with guns with names like AK47 and some combination of letters and sounds like M16, C3PO, R2D2, RO51 and the likes. There was the tank like car, and a small hut supposedly a ready sniper sits there aiming at you. The group of men complete with uniform and looking like the middle east soldiers you see on TV. It was almost intimidating.
But if you know S@audi, you'd probably appreciate how much secure the compound residence would feel with the presence of extra guard. My kids are happy at Elisa's place. Compared to where I am staying now, which is not a compound, they'd prefer Elisa's anytime. haziq, rode the bicycle like he has never seen one for ages. err which is quite true actually.
And when he had a chance to play the quad bike (ATV - all terrain vehicle), he went ramming with glee. We let them loose for a while at the Half Moon Beach. Is it Shatarul Nisful Qamar?
In Khobar I ate alot! My goodness. there were invitations everyday. On top of that Elisa took us to all the places that she frequent. I dare not go up the scale up till today. Takkuuuttt! And stuff are so cheap in S@udi (compared to Qtar). The S@udi government, in the effort of combating inflation, subsidise the basic groceries which are logical for such a rich country like them. Ramai rakyat Qtar sendiri keluar ke s@udi pada hari minggu untuk membeli barangan runcit. Tak taulah ni legal ke tak memandangkan hak keistimewaan subsidi barangan runcit adalah untuk rakyat dan residen S@udi. I myself bought a few things.
Oh Elisa took us to this one great place to buy Arabian look stuff. You can check out the website at Desert Designs. I bought a few things. You know simple stuff like coasters, fridge magnets, a little table-stool, and a wooden tray. Elisa bought her prized kilim rug. he he. Eh I bought this little woolen bag, like the one that they hang on the camel's saddle. But I am too lazy to take photo. Plus its not hung yet.
But as I was looking at that thing, the owner came (I think he is the ownerlah) and explained that it is actually a bag that they put on the camel, so you can put stuff in there. I replied since I don't have camels, I shall just put it on the wall. He said, oh yes. We all still hang it on our camels. They are all parked outside at the parking lot. Buahahahahha.
The pots are bought in Qtar though. Haggling to 5 Riyal each on the basis that they are saghir (small).
I think this must be our most relaxing holiday ever. We lazed about in the house and chat till late night. Stuff ourselves with masakan Elisa. She even broiled us crayfish(?) and prepared in advance her famous panacotta.
I end this with a big thank you for the warm and wonderful hospitality. We had a good time.
The only picture in S@udi is the children playing ATV HERE.

I had a delicious pasta salad at Diner En Blanc and wanted to do a spin on that, but wasn't sure what that might entail. Luckily, a few guesses led to a great dish! You'll need:
- Farfalle pasta
- Fresh basil
- Sun Dried Tomato pesto (you could make your own, or cheat like me)
- Some kind of special spice mix that makes it extra delicious. I used this Crazy Chicken spice I picked up in Savannah.
- Boneless skinless chicken tenders
- Boil the farfalle, and at the same time, cut up your chicken tenders into smaller pieces and season with salt, pepper, your spice mix, maybe a little garlic powder and whatever else suits your fancy.
- Heat the chicken in a skillet with olive oil, and be liberal with the spice because the combo of the spice, olive oil and pesto is going to create your "sauce" for the pasta.
- Once the chicken and pasta are done, toss the pasta in the skillet and mix well, adding spoonfuls of the pesto to taste, along with the basil. I topped with a healthy sprinkling of grated parmesan and it was delicious!
The best part? Sean liked it, and you need to know this is a man who only ordered spaghetti the entire time he visited Italy. He's never met a bolognese he didn't love and he's never met a cream sauce he was willing to try. But this, he liked!

There are several factors affecting the cost of cleaning wastewater, including energy, chemicals, and reinvestment in the collection and treatment systems. Pollutants in the wastewater must be removed to ensure the protection of public health, aquatic life and the environment before returning it to the environment. The cleaned water must meet water quality requirements.
Tomahawk is only one of several factors that causes rate increases every year.
By increasing the size of the plant, we will no longer need to send 60 percent of our wastewater which is treated at the Tomahawk Creek facility to Kansas City, Missouri for treatment, allowing us to better control our costs and be much more efficient. Therefore,t he Tomahawk Project will significantly lessen the amount of rate increases in the future.
JCW's rates are among the lowest in the metro and have been consistently so for many years because we have pro-actively reinvested in our system with activities such as repair, replacement and preventative maintenance. Our collection system is a huge investment worth $1.7 billion. See how JCW compares to other wastewater utilities.
In 2019, JCW's revenue requirement increased by 7.75 percent, which equates to $2.70 a month for the median household or $5.40 on each bi-monthly bill. The revenue requirement represents the total amount of money JCW must collect from customers to pay all costs. This increase is higher than those in previous years due to several factors as well as the Tomahawk Plant expansion, which will help keep rates lower once the project is completed in 2022. We are investing now to save more over the long term.
There are several reasons for annual rate increases. They include:
The increase in rates over the past two decades has climbed, but the comparison to the bill then versus now is not a clear-cut one.
The capital and operating rates are now combined into a single rate because we changed our capital rate methodology to be the same as our operating rate, which is based on water use. This change means it is not possible to accurately calculate the percentage increase of rates when comparing current rates to those charged prior to 2014 without assistance from JCW staff.
Please call the Johnson County Wastewater Customer Service Center at 913-715-8590 to report all billing issues.
Yes. However, if you are out of town during the winter months you may be eligible for an adjustment. Please contact Johnson County Wastewater. Your account will be reviewed and any appropriate adjustments will be made. The minimum user charge for months you are gone is an amount that is at least equal to the Customer Service Charge. For months that you actually reside in your home, you will be charged the default value user charge. The default is based on the average residential winter water use for all residential customers.
New customers moving from outside Johnson County Wastewater's service area will be assigned a default value user charge that is equal to the average winter water use for all residential customers. If new customers provide Johnson County Wastewater with their previous account information, Johnson County Wastewater will calculate an appropriate average winter water use using the information provided. Johnson County Wastewater customers who move within the sanitary sewer district may request to transfer the average winter water use from their previous address.
Winter water usage is used in the wastewater bill calculation to avoid charging for usual heavier summer uses such as watering your lawn and garden, washing your car, or filling your swimming pool. If you don't fill your swimming pool during the winter months, it won't affect your water usage information for your wastewater bill. All of these water uses do not impact the wastewater treatment system.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The Federal Reserve Bank of New York bought $7 billion in Treasurys maturing between 2013 and 2016 on Monday, the first of two buyback operations this week. Dealers offered $18.151 billion to be purchased. When the central bank last made purchases from this maturity range, it bought $7.5 billion. The buybacks are part of the Fed's plans to keep a lid on borrowing costs, though Treasury yields and mortgage rates have increased lately in spite of the Fed's efforts. Short-term debt remained supported by concerns about the trajectory for growth in the global economy while longer-fated debt was weighed by a slew of bond auctions this week. Yields on 2-year notes TMUBMUSD02Y, +0.00%, which move inversely to prices, fell 5 basis points to 0.94%.

- Bill R. Baltazar
The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Bill R. Baltazar for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a B-52G Navigator over North Vietnam on 26 December 1972. On that date, Captain Baltazar was responsible for the long-range navigation of his aircraft to and from the target area in probably the most massive concentrated bombing raids in the history of aerial warfare. Assisting in effecting successful weapon release on the assigned target, with the loss of the radar system's primary bombing function, Captain Baltazar displayed superior skill in contributing to further negate the opposing forces' capability to wage war and persisted in his duties despite the large number of surface-to-air missiles fired at his aircraft. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Baltazar reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.

What costs should one expect for a simple web site? We will look at some ways that will make the costs reasonable and minimal. The cost items listed below assume that you want to just want to use your web pages to present your message to viewers. Things will be more complicated it you want to do internet business.
Would you like your own internet domain like "mybusiness.com"? Assuming that you don't insist on a "premium" name, domain names are relatively cheap. If you would be satisfied with a longer .com name or one of the newer names like .us or .biz names, expect to pay $20 or less per year. You may see them advertised for less than $10 but be cautious about hidden charges and expect the cost to go up when you renew your annual contract. In some cases, a free of extra cost domain name is included in the web hosting.
A web host stores your web pages and sends them to viewers so they can look at them in their browsers. The cost can vary considerably but there are lots of options. We will look at a few of them.
You may be eligible for special consideration because of your associations. Cost and usability may vary. I'll be happy to look at your possibilities.
Your internet provider/e-mail server may provide free of extra cost web page serving. Usability may vary. The password may be a significant problem unless there can be more than one. (I don't want to have access to your e-mail or billing information.) But this type of service would work especially if you are willing to upload pages.
For small companies (or individuals), Google provides free server service including customized mail addresses. The problem is that they try to make it easy for beginners to write simple web pages. This makes it hard for professionals to create sophisticated pages. To see the difference, you can compare http://www.webmasterdesignsolutions.com with https://sites.google.com/a/webmasterdesignsolutions.com/webmaster-design-solutions/home. Some people have concerns about privacy issues when using Google. However because the price is right, you may find a Google site meets your needs.
Godaddy provides server service as well as selling domain names. They provide a full range of developer tools and allow the webmaster to be creative. (They also provide simplified web page design but don't restrict users to it.) There prices start as low as $1 a month. This includes a large number of customized mail addresses. The Blueberry Festival uses this server. But be aware that the advertised price is only for the first year. Cost go up when one renews.
This service is probably a little more expensive than Godaddy but the seem to provide better service which may reduce my time and your costs. They also provide a number of design helps. This site uses SiteGround.
The servers listed above are just those that I have had some experience with. There are many other companies that provide server services.
Sometimes a lower cost server may place restrictions what can be done. For example, it might charge extra if you need extra storage space. Because videos are often require a large amount of storage space, it is common to take advantage of the free YouTube service for videos and just provide links to them on your web site.
Because I am retired and have low overhead, I can create your web pages at a minimal cost. I'll begin be discussing your options and then look at what message you want to present to people viewing your pages. I'll ask you about how the site should look. You will be asked to provide wording and pictures. I'll write your pages, arrange for your domain name, and set things up so search engines find your page.
There are few other possible expenses. You may want to have pictures taken to show on your web pages. If you don't already have one, you may want a logo. Depending on your situation, you will probably want update you web site from time to time.
Some servers such has Google and Godaddy provide services that allow inexperienced people to create their own website. Doing so can save the cost of hiring a webmaster. However, do-it-yourself webmasters may like to get hints on how to improve their site. For example, issues may include obtaining a domain name, a server, download speed, improving site visibility to search engines, ways to improve the site using HTML, and so on. For such consulting, I just charge a low hourly fee.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, such as those that have had the financial sector on high alert since September, make the headlines on an almost daily basis. With some of the biggest organizations in the world falling prey to the tactic, one might think that many - if not most of the general public - has at some point been inconvenienced by a DDoS attack. Yet according to a new study commissioned by Public Interest Registry (PIR), the nonprofit operator of the .ORG domain, the majority of Americans (85%) are "uninformed or ill-equipped to deal with a DDoS attack."
The survey also revealed that only 17% of respondents understood what the acronym D-D-o-S stands for, and 77% admitted flat out that they really had no idea what the commonly used abbreviation even means.
"These findings only show that there is real misunderstanding about DDoS across all ages and levels of expertise, so we must do our part to engage with other Internet service providers and registry operators worldwide to discuss how we can be better prepared and prevent future attacks," said PIR CEO Brian Cute in a press release on the study.
Additional findings from the PIR study reveal:
- The higher the household income, the more knowledgeable Americans were on the subject of DDoS attacks
- Respondents with college degrees were not more likely than those without a degree to correctly identify DDoS or know how to respond to an attack
- Men were generally more informed on the subject of DDoS attacks than women, with 24% correctly identifying DDoS as a type of network attack compared to 10% respectively
- Only 36% of Americans would know where to consult in the event of a DDoS attack, and of those nearly half of respondents 65 years and older know where to find help, compared to only 28% of those 18-24 years old
"It's in all of our interests – public and individual – to ensure that the Internet remains a safe and protected place for all users... At PIR, we pride ourselves on being a name that people trust, and we're committed to helping strengthen the safety and security of the Internet by providing the information people need to protect themselves from these attacks," Cute said.
DDoS attacks are known to be increasing in both frequency and severity. A recent study by the Poneman Institute and security provider Radware found that as many as 65 percent of organizations reported being the victim of at least three DDoS attacks in the past 12 months. Another study carried out by Vanson Bourne earlier in the year found that 38% of enterprise survey respondents experienced at least one attack in the past 12 months, and both studies found that the attacks were fairly evenly spread across all industry sectors.
"No organization connected to the Internet is exempt from possibly experiencing a DDoS attack," said Stephen Gates, Security Evangelist at Corero Network Security.
Gates notes that today's traditional technologies like firewalls and IPS solutions were not designed to stop application layer DDoS attacks, and that many of the attackers know this. In fact, in some DDoS attacks, network disruptions may not even be the end goal, as the attackers may be seeking to create a diversion in order to penetrate a network and carry out a more serious attack. Gates says that in order to do that, they may actually target the network's firewall.
"What organizations put in place to protect them actually is being used against them," said Gates. "A new first line of defense has to be put in place to stop unwanted traffic before it hits the firewall and IPS – allowing those technologies to do the jobs they were built to do."
Those concerned about their organization's potential for exposure to DDoS attacks are encouraged to take a free DDoS preparedness assessment test, which provides a customized evaluation and subsequent recommendations based on answers to a short questionnaire. The DDoS assessment, which employs a series of analytical algorithms, can be conducted in a matter of minutes by following the instructions here: DDoS Preparedness Test

It was a rocky start, but softly spoken Frances displays her steely side too
THE first day in a new job is always a bit fraught. And thus in an ideal world, Cabinet reshuffles take place before a parliamentary recess in order to give the newbie ministers a chance to read into their briefs.
But most reshuffles are creatures of events, and such was the case this week when Frances Fitzgerald was catapulted overnight from the calm waters of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs into the roiling, shark-infested seas of the Justice Department.
It wasn't so much a case of the Dublin Mid-West TD and former social worker hitting the ground running on her first day, as hitting the ground and zigzagging through a field of unstable landmines, any one of which was liable to detonate if she put a foot wrong.
Her first task after completing the round robin of media interviews on Wednesday was to sit at her new desk overlooking Stephen's Green and read the grim findings contained in the Guerin Report into the treatment of garda whistleblowers.
And the 365-page damning litany of failings in both the gardai and her new department must have left her with no illusions of the enormity of the task ahead of her.
The day got off to a rocky start for Frances Fitzgerald. A gaggle of photographers had assembled at the entrance to the Justice Department for a scheduled photo-call with the new minister and the interim Garda Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan.
However, there was a disorganised feel to the set-piece; the two women paused briefly at the top of the steps, shook hands awkwardly and immediately disappeared inside, leaving a pack of disgruntled photographers behind them.
But this is a department that has been under siege for months on end now, punch-drunk from a flurry of blows, and the smooth running of a photo-op wasn't high on its list of priorities.
The Guerin Report went up online just before 1pm, and a press conference was hastily organised at 1.30pm, with journalists scrambling to make it into Government Buildings, only to be told that it was delayed by half an hour.
In the end, it was almost 2.30pm when the minister emerged. In contrast to her predecessor, Alan Shatter, who rarely stinted from applying the verbal boot to those who had displeased him, Frances took a more piano approach, doling out her criticisms in a measured manner.
She viewed with the "utmost gravity" how complaints are dealt with by the Justice Department. She spoke about "root-and-branch reform" of the police force.
As the press conference progressed, she did her utmost to dodge one great big landmine plonked in front of her. Three times, Frances was asked if she had faith in the secretary-general of her department, Brian Purcell, and she strove mightily to deliver neither a nay nor yea.
The minister was taking the emollient approach, but it would be an unwise person who failed to spot the flash of steel behind the power suits.
Frances Fitzgerald is a political scrapper, albeit a softly-spoken one. Her mettle was tested in 2002, after she lost her seat to the PD's Michael McDowell in the leafy milieu of Dublin South-East.
She was elected to the Seanad in 2007 and was made leader of the opposition, and it was during this time that she made a brace of decisions which was to prove fateful and propel her on the comeback trail.
In 2010, her party leader Enda Kenny announced out of the blue that he would hold a referendum on abolishing the Upper House. His bombshell caught his party on the hop, but Frances backed his decision without any equivocation while some of her fellow Fine Gael senators were less supportive.
She also – with more prescience than some of her more apparently astute colleagues – stood firmly on the side of the embattled leader during the heave in the summer of 2010.
With Lucinda Creighton now firmly defending her turf in Dublin South East, Frances threw her hat instead into the ring of the grittier, newly expanded four-seater of Dublin Mid-West, and surfed into the Dail on the anti-Fianna Fail wave of 2011.
Her reward was immediate, Enda Kenny being a leader with a long memory who puts loyalty high on his list of priorities when it comes to picking his team. She was appointed Minister for Children, a portfolio which suited her background as a zealous campaigner on social and family issues.
Frances Fitzgerald has risen through the ranks with dizzying speed. But there's little doubt she'll have to channel her inner scrapper to remain at this lofty height.

They have both been married previously, and had been on the application for approximately one year. I think it's safe to say that Tim is a romantic because their first date was on a rooftop overlooking New York City. We asked Katie her opinion of their first date, and she thought that Tim had "interviewed" her a tad. Tim believed her comments to herself after their first date were that he was a "nice guy, but kind of boring." Althogh, speaking with Katie will give you another impression. She was very much interested by this new man in her life.
However, Tim didn't stop there. For their second date, he invite Katie aboard a schooner circling Manhattan at sunset. There a connection was formed between the two of them and we've been together ever since.They quickly moved in together after six months of dating. Tim explains, "Katie has quickly become my best friend and I couldn't imagine an apartment with out her".
They had originally planned a wedding in the St. Martin's, but the severe weather had other plans for them. They had a small ceremony with some of their friends and family late in 2017. But there were some family members who couldn't attend. So, Katie and Tim kept their heads up and took advantage of a family trip that was planned for Mexico. Along side their parents and siblings, Katie and Tim turned a weekend family vacation into an intimate elopement that couldn't have been prettier. Their hotel was beautiful, the weather was gorgeous, and the family was happier than ever. Katie and Tim say they won't waste any time in starting a family and have plans to begin trying when they return from their honeymoon. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Buckley!

Corvette marked its 25th anniversary in 1978 with two commemorative editions, the most desirable of which is the famous Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Replica. The first Corvette to pace the 500-mile classic, the 1978 version was distinctively finished in two-tone Black and Silver Metallic with Red pinstriping, and rolled on polished aluminum wheels with wide aramic radials. The lengthy list of standard equipment included front and rear spoilers, tinted glass roof panels, air conditioning, all power accessories, AM/FM/cassette stereo sound, power antenna, tilt/telescopic steering and specially contoured bucket seats scheduled for 1979 production Corvettes.
Unique and rare, this remarkably well-preserved 1978 Pace Car Replica is still on the original MSO from Bob McDorman Chevrolet and shows a mere 27 original miles. Along with that long list of standard equipment, it is optioned with the desirable L82 350/220 hp V-8 with automatic transmission, FE7 Gymkhana suspension, K30 Cruise control and UP6 AM/FM CB Stereo with power antenna. Like all super-low-mileage McDorman Collection cars, this Corvette Pace Car is in completely original condition, including the window sticker on the passenger door glass; it is possibly the best example of this valuable collector Corvette.

Austin Peay hires Chattanooga assistant Healy as head coach
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Austin Peay has hired Chattanooga assistant Will Healy as its head coach and is counting on the 30-year-old to turn around a program that has won just once over the last three seasons.
The school released a statement Monday saying Healy would be introduced at a Wednesday news conference. Athletic director Ryan Ivey called Healy ''a rising star in the profession.''
Healy replaces Kirby Cannon, who was fired after going 1-34 in a three-year tenure that included an 0-11 mark this season.
Healy has spent the last seven seasons at Chattanooga and held the titles of receivers coach and passing game coordinator this year. Chattanooga reached the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs each of the last two years. Healy played on Richmond's 2008 FCS championship team.

Abstract for:
Individual Choice and Social ExclusionJulian Le Grand, December 2003
Paper No' CASE 075: Full paper
Tags: poverty, exclusion and equalities; poverty and social exclusion; social exclusion; poverty; choice
Abstract:Why is social exclusion a problem? What about ¿voluntary¿ social exclusion ¿ when an individual chooses to exclude him or herself from the wider society? Brain Barry has addressed these questions in a recent CASE book, arguing that social exclusion, voluntary or involuntary, offends against social justice and social solidarity. This paper contends that Barry¿s arguments are weak for voluntary social exclusion and argues that, perhaps surprisingly, a better case can be made for treating voluntary social exclusion as a problem on welfarist grounds.

We use the term Remote Procedure Call here to mean any type of procedure call between one process and another. All of the remote procedure calls we're talking about here (up to now) are all really between processes on the same machine, not across machines.
This greatly simplifies the security aspects of this design, since ClientAuthentication is much simpler when clients are local on the same machine.
Normal (synchronous) remote procedure calls are performed by:
Asynchronous remote procedure calls are performed similarly, but the return result is sent later.
Server validates the request, assigns it an AsyncRequestId, and queues it for execution
Server packages the AsyncRequestId (or error return)
Server performs the request specified by the AsyncRequestId
Server sends return results to client as an AsyncEventMessage
Client reads AsyncEventMessage to learn the real return result from the request.
The process of "packaging up arguments into a big blob" and doing the unpackaging goes by various names. Common names include marshalling/demarshalling, pickling, or serializing.

The Quad Cities nuclear power plant in Illinois
Exelon has announced that it is considering closing two nuclear power stations in Illinois because they are no longer profitable.
The utility claims that the impact of natural gas on the electricity market has driven down the price of electricity so much that the nuclear power plants are no longer able to keep operating without financial losses.
In a last-ditch effort to keep the two nuclear facilities open, Exelon and ComEd are lobbying legislators to pass "the Exelon Bill" (SB-1585) which would subsidize the two plants by granting them a rate increase.
According to Exelon, in the last 6 years the Clinton and Quad Cities nuclear power plants have cost the utility over $800 million.
If the rate increase is not approved by May 31st – when Illinois legislature adjourns, and Exelon is unable to find any additional income, they may close the plants.
Illinois is a net exporter of electricity, even if the two nuclear power plants close it will not affect grid capacity or stability.

Europeanization and Integration as Matters of Perception
This article examines the concept of Europeanization from a Cognitive Constructivist approach beyond New Institutionalisms in Integration theories. The objective is to review the concept of EU integration as a resource for Europeanization, democratic culture, and institutions rather than a political consequence from the economic spillover. Referring to levels of sociological knowledge, ontology is assumed as the foundation of epistemology, which directs to empirical observations. The empirical grounding is then provided by considering significant interdisciplinary areas of Integration Theories and communication studies by adequately acknowledging existing literature on how Europeanization is conceptualized and by anchoring theoretical framework to events of societal mobilization in three nonmember states with European integration prospects. In the conceptual modeling of the article, cognitive concepts related to Integration Theories are used to help the reader understand and test the subject of Europeanization through the Norbert Elias model of integrating disciplinary perspectives and micro-macro level and theory-method-data. By relating the smallest parts (such as words in an actual discourse) to the largest wholes (such as general theories, social institutions, historical periods, and civilizations), the explanatory logic concludes that in representative democracies with autocratic tendencies, Europeanization is conceptualized as something to struggle and fight for rather than an automatic outcome. The effort to bring historical evidences from the ground through media reports and direct testimony of the events, in a comparative approach, aims to provide a more complete framework on recent events occurred almost contemporarily. The cases of the Albanian "November Movement," Ukrainian "EuroMaiden," and Turkish "Gezi Protests" are chosen for their assumed and proven similitude of new political actors such as civil society, protesters, investigative and social media, and human rights international organizations or observers present in domestic environment. The article demonstrates the role played by assumptions, emotions, and instincts in building theoretical perspectives of European integration in both economic and political terms. On the other hand, it recommends that the interchanging of the New Institutionalisms as suggested by Hall and Taylor may be the appropriate approach to understand local events and the influence played by the sociopolitical context in Integration Theory and the concept of Europeanization.

Liberalism was once a gentle, fragrant breeze blowing through American political culture. Liberals - often flawed, sometimes pompous, sometimes self-inflated, but more often just decent Americans - cherished the American people and the land on which we live. Liberals imagined a Great Society in which everyone got three good meals every day; everyone lived in a clean, decent house; every child got a good education, every worker had a safe, secure, good-paying job; every sick person received good medical care; the disabled were supported out of compassion for their predicaments, and the disadvantaged were assisted until no more assistance was needed. All the subcultures in American society would be able to keep their traditional beliefs, customs, and languages but would also embrace fundamental American values (this was not too well thought out). Worshipers of all faiths could proceed with safety and dignity to their chosen church, tabernacle, mosque, temple, or cathedral on holy days, but no faith would try to impose its beliefs on others or claim official sanction. Culture would be rich with publicly supported art, music, and drama. Schools would operate on an 18 hour schedule, filled with kids learning their ABC's during the day and adults learning household accounting, cake decorating, poetry appreciation, country-western dancing, Southern literature, and CPR at night
In a Liberal society, intersections would not be populated by homeless bums, children would not go to bed hungry, and no one would have to choose between paying the electric bill or filling a prescription. Crime would diminish over time because the fundamental decency inherent in every human spirit would emerge and flourish in such a nation.
Liberalism was a secular form of Christianity, ripped from the pages of the New Testament and made real in our laws and customs by the earnest Protestants who invented it. The central concept of Liberalism was that the human spirit - made by God in His image - is innately decent unless crushed by poverty, injustice, oppression, or illness. Remove these deprivations and the human spirit will resume its natural growth like a drought-stunted tree resumes its growth when the rains return. Liberalism was casual and friendly; everyone would be on a first-name basis. Class distinctions were an embarrassing anachronism left over from the brutal and shallow aristocracies of the past. Liberals imagined a middle class world where the distribution of income was pretty flat: nobody was too rich and absolutely no one was poor.
When Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men are created equal, he referred only to adult white males who owned real estate. When Liberals said that everyone is created equal, they meant every living man, woman, and child on earth: rich and poor, old and young, smart and stupid, sweet and mean, healthy and sickly, President and dog catcher, pale and swarthy, CEO and secretary, male and female, you and me.
Except in the areas of foreign policy and war, every one of these Liberal initiatives were steadfastly opposed by Conservatives, who tried to protect the right of the rich to exploit the land, pollute the air, poison the water, and work employees long hours for little money under dangerous conditions. If you eat nutritious food, breathe clean air, work in a safe environment for a decent wage, or speak your mind in public, then you owe a debt of gratitude to Liberalism. If you or your children received government loans or grants to go to college, you should thank Liberalism for the handout. If you are a woman who is earning the same pay as the man in the next cubicle, you should appreciate Liberalism a little more every payday. If anyone in your family has ever received a check from Social Security or medical treatments paid for by Medicare, light a candle to the memories of Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. If you are happy that Communism and Fascism did not come to rule Europe, Latin America, and Asia, then remember Liberalism in your prayers tonight. If you are a nonwhite Republican voter, remember that it is the ghost of Lyndon Johnson who is parting the curtains to admit you into the voting booth. If you have been divorced or had an abortion (most of us are included in one of these groups), then you should realize that without Liberalism you would still be married to the same jerk or you would have an unplanned, perhaps unwanted, child in your house right now. If you've ever received unemployment compensation, disability compensation, or food stamps, then go shake a Liberal's hand in gratitude. If you have ever lived in subsidized housing, write a thank you note to Liberalism and tack it to your bulletin board. If your children ever eat breakfast at school, give them a book on Liberalism to read while they are eating. If anyone in your family is handicapped, then you should get a stencil and spray-paint "Thank you, Liberalism" on every wheelchair ramp, reserved parking space, and Medicare-paid-for motorized wheelchair that you see.
The list of Liberal leaders is a Who's Who of Twentieth century politics, including judges, mayors, governors, legislators, city councilmen (and women), civil servants, Senators, Representatives, and seven great presidents: Roosevelt, Wilson, Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter. The list of non-Liberal Twentieth century presidents includes McKinley, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Clinton - not so impressive a list. Eisenhower alone comes to mind as both great and yet not especially liberal. (The current President Bush is still working on his legacy, so his historical significance is not yet ready to be commented on.) After Carter's defeat, Liberalism pretty much fell apart. Soon thereafter, Liberalism died an unnoticed and unmourned death, and its like will never be seen again. Liberalism has now joined the other great philosophies and movements of the Twentieth century - Socialism, Communism, Fascism, and Feminism - in the mausoleum.
To be fair, we must acknowledge that, out of their ineptitude, Liberals also gave us unwieldy and Byzantine government bureaucracies, a habit of fuzzy thinking about ethical and political issues, and political correctness. They also left us in a world that contains thousands and thousands of ready-to-launch nuclear weapons. Remember that Liberals invented nuclear weapons and only a Liberal Democrat - not a Communist, not a terrorist, and not a dictator - has ever ordered atomic weapons to be dropped on cities. Liberals' anti-Communist fanaticism made them willing to get into bed with any tyrant as long as he was non-Communist. Mopping up the messes left in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia by those Liberal-supported dictators will take generations. In its day, Liberalism was inventing a new world - a Great Society - and there were no rule books to follow. They made it up as they went, and hindsight tells us that they made some mistakes - some big ones.
Now, in the first days of the Twenty-first century, the accomplishments of Liberalism are being systematically undone, one by one. Drilling and logging are returning to the wildernesses from which they were once forbidden. Food inspection laws may still be on the books but there are no food inspectors. American corporations are happy to underpay women, use child labor, and use slave labor in their third world sweatshops, so they obviously did not internalize the Liberal values of equality and compassion. They will be equally happy to treat Americans in the same way, we speculate, after legal constraints are removed. Art, music, and drama are fading away in the public schools. Child nutrition programs are being replaced with pizza and soft-drink vending machines in school cafeterias by school boards who are being bribed by pizza and soda pop vendors. The national infrastructure - roads, power grids, railways, water purification plants, etc. - is degrading, unrepaired and unreplaced. Services to vulnerable women, children, and elderly citizens are being cut back. The National Endowments and PBS are under attack. The patchwork fabric of Teddy Roosevelt's Square Deal, Wilson's New Freedom, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, Truman's Fair Deal, Kennedy's New Frontier, and Johnson's Great Society is being unraveled by a combination of neglect and Conservative revisionism. The very term Liberal is avoided as poison by our current generation of gutless politicians. Liberalism, amazingly, is now defined by many Americans as a perverse preference for high taxes, government waste, and homosexuality.
The Liberal dream - a stable culture characterized by rich civic dialog, civility, mutual caring, prosperity, and protection for the weak - never really came fully into existence. Our society aspired for three-quarters of a century to the Liberal vision of greatness, but we failed to achieve it and have now abandoned it. Why? First, the generation of Liberal leadership that followed the Johnson administration had no fire in the belly and they caved in to their critics. Second, those who passionately hated Liberalism were relentless, brilliant, and merciless in their opposition. Third, Liberalism failed because the Liberal vision of human nature turned out to be false. As Machiavellians knew all along, human beings are primates - not angels. Those who benefited most from the policies of Liberalism abandoned it later, as is typical of human nature. Give a poor student a government grant so he can go to college, Liberals learned, and when he becomes successful and prosperous he will vote against similar grants for others.
The Great Society is no longer politically achievable, not because it is impossible but because we, as a nation, don't have the desire. Liberalism has been blown away by the wind of change. It was a moment in history, never to be repeated. Liberalism, I predict, will be little discussed and not long remembered. It's heroes, except for the presidents mentioned above, are not symbolized in statuary or murals. And, even those great presidents are remembered more for their successes or failures in war than for the existence of dams, roads, day care centers, schools, hospitals, universities, highways, pollution control devices, national parks, scholarship programs, the Peace Corps, vaccines, space ships, irrigation systems, continuing education programs, child vaccination programs, abortion clinics, and water purification plants.
If you have listened to Conservative rhetoric, you might have thought that Liberalism was alive and on the verge of bankrupting the country and legalizing polygamy. However, modern Democrats in Congress are to Liberalism what grape juice is to good port. It looks like the real thing, but it is a very different substance. Liberalism was a serious effort to rid the world of sickness, poverty, war, ignorance, and exploitation. In their place Liberals would substitute health, security, peace, education, and cooperation. Every human being would have not just an opportunity for happiness, but encouragement, support, and protection in its pursuit. Liberalism took on this enormous challenge with the energy of Teddy Roosevelt, the compassion of Franklin Roosevelt, the middle-class goodness of Harry Truman, the intensity of the Kennedy's, the determination of LBJ, and the spirituality of Jimmy Carter. The motto of Liberalism was articulated best by Robert Kennedy when he asked, "If not us, then who? If not now, then when?"
The current Democratic agenda is a feeble effort to slow the Conservative destruction of the remnants of the Great Society. Democrats wear the tattered uniforms of a once-great army, but they have long ago surrendered their guns to the enemy. Unlike real Liberals, they have no notion of remaking the world into what it could be instead of what it is. They would give a wounded man an aspirin to reduce his pain but have no plans to remove the bullet. They would distribute diet soda and nutrition pamphlets to the starving. As Theodore Roosevelt said in reference to a Supreme Court Justice for whom he had little respect, "I could carve more backbone out of a banana." Those who mistake 21st century Democrats for Liberals might also mistake a house cat for a bear.
Perhaps an alternative vision will be hatched by a future generation that will once again try to create a nation of gentleness, caring, compassion, equality, and civility. Perhaps they will look back on American Liberalism with understanding and respect. Perhaps a better world and a better America will be the result of their efforts. But, don't count on it in your lifetime.
What does the demise of Liberalism mean to the Machiavellian? It means that you are on your own. Do not count on your government - federal, state, or local - for squat. The people who run our institutions are not interested in you or your welfare. They are interested in their own power, income, and status. If you plan to retire, you had better make the money to retire on - or change your plans to include being a greeter at Walmart until the day you die. If you want your kids to go to good schools, you had better make the money for private school tuition. If you think you might get sick, make sure you have the cash in the bank to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medicine. If your teenager has asthma, don't expect the government to clean up your air. Instead, make the money to buy a nice home in the country many miles from any city. Think carefully before you speak your mind in public; unpopular opinions are becoming very unpopular. Think carefully before you speak your mind in private; recording devices are everywhere.
The most powerful people in this global economy - those who govern us and those who control them - are looking out for number one. They are not concerned with the welfare of the weak, the poor, the humble, the homeless, the sick, the young, the female, the elderly, or the unlucky. They are certainly not concerned with you. Like I said before, you are on your own. Good Luck.

Samia Mounts
SEOUL, South Korea — Samia Mounts, a 34-year-old singer and author, grew up in a small American town with a twist. It was in the heart of Seoul surrounded by concrete walls topped with concertina wire.
For decades, the Army's Yongsan Garrison has offered American troops and their families all the trappings of home even as a burgeoning Asian metropolis sprouted up around it.
"I was really struck by the juxtaposition of this really safe, heavily fortified military compound where all these people are trying to live normal, quote unquote, American lives" and the city outside, said Mounts, whose father was an Air Force officer assigned to Yongsan in 1989.
Most South Koreans were left to wonder what was inside the sprawling 630-acre installation, which includes several smaller bases and is bisected into a main post and south post by a busy thoroughfare near the trendy neighborhood of Itaewon.

Collegiate Baseball All-America Release
TUCSON, Ariz. – Ohio Baseball senior INF Rudy Rott (Holmen, Wis.) has been named to the 2019 Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division I All-America Third Team, Collegiate Baseball announced on Thursday (May 30).
The teams were chosen by performances and statistics up to the NCAA Regionals and were voted on by the staff of the Collegiate Baseball newspaper.
Rott - a sport management major - earned All-America honors for the first time in his career after being named Preseason All-America by the same publication before the 2019 season started. Rott was also named a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American in 2016.
Rott is one of two players from the Mid-American Conference to be named All-America and is joined by RHP Drey Jameson of Ball State. He is the first Bobcat to be named All-America since Logan Cozart was named a Baseball America Third-Team All-American in 2015.
Earlier this season, Rott won MAC Player of the Year, becoming the first back-to-back and two-time winner of the award in the league's history. Rott was also named First Team All-MAC. During the MAC Tournament, Rott became Ohio's all-time hits leader and finished his career with 293 hits and a career .339 batting average.
Rott led the Bobcats in batting average (.382), hits (81), doubles (18), home runs (10), RBI (47), slugging percentage (.618) and on-base percentage (.464). His .382 batting average was No. 28 in the nation and second in the MAC. Rott was second in the league in slugging percentage and tied for third in home runs.
Rott and the Bobcats finished the season 20-34 and 12-14 in the league and earned the No. 6 seed in the MAC Tournament. Ohio won two games in the MAC Tournament, including a 17 inning elimination game over Miami, 6-5. The game was the longest in MAC Tournament history.

Albatross Ownership
2012 - Present
In December 2012 Albatross was acquired by Enghouse Systems Limited, a leading global provider of enterprise software solutions. Albatross is now part of the Enghouse Networks group who develop and market network software and visual computing solutions for a broad range of utilities including Telecommunications Service Providers.
2001 - 2012
Albatross was originally called Inabler and changed name in April 2010, as part of a portfolio expansion beyond IN solutions.
Inabler was founded in March 2001. The ex-management team bought out the former owner in 2002 and in order to remain independent decided to operate without venture capital. This decision was based on long-term thinking, but to counter short term instability the company had to be run in an extremely cost efficient way. This is a working practice retained to the present day.
During 2003/4 revenues grew significantly as new customers signed contracts and existing ones expanded their business. The company has been profitable since 2003 and reinvests all profit into expanding system capacity (to meet growing traffic volumes) and improving service reliability.

"A truly 21st century idea." "Bigger than the Internet." "More important than the personal computer."
These were just a few of the early impressions of the Segway Personal Transporter, one of the most celebrated innovations of the last several decades. The first technological marvel of the new millennium, the scooter was expected to revolutionize transportation. Inventor Dean Kamen predicted his two-wheeled device would be to the car "what the car was to the horse and buggy."1
So much for great expectations.
When the much anticipated invention went on sale in 2002, the public yawned. Shortly thereafter, new-age observer Wired magazine went so far as to sneer, "It ...

Automakers gained $25 billion in taxpayer-subsidized loans and oil companies won elimination of a long-standing ban on drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as the Senate passed a sprawling spending bill yesterday.
The 78-12 vote sent the $634 billion measure to President Bush, who was expected to sign it even though it spends more money and contains more pet projects than he would have liked.
The measure is needed to keep the government operating beyond the current budget year, which ends Tuesday. As a result, the legislation is one of the few bills this election year that simply must pass.
White House spokesman Tony Fratto said the bill �stands as a reminder of the failure of the Democratic Congress to fund the government in regular order.� But, he said, it �puts the United States one step closer to ending our dependence on foreign sources of energy� by lifting the offshore drilling ban and opening up huge reserves of oil shale in the West.
The Pentagon is in line for a record budget. In addition to $70 billion approved this summer for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Defense Department would receive $488 billion, a 6 percent increase. The spending bill also offers aid to victims of flooding in the Midwest and recent hurricanes across the Gulf Coast.
Such a huge bill usually would dominate the end-of-session agenda on Capitol Hill. But it went below the radar because attention focused on the congressional bailout of Wall Street.
The measure settles dozens of battles that have brewed for months between the Democrats who run Congress and the White House and its GOP allies.
The administration won approval of the defense budget. Democrats wrested concessions from the White House on $23 billion for disaster-ravaged states, a doubling of low-income heating subsidies, and smaller spending items such as $24 million more for food shipments to the elderly.
The loan package for automakers would reward them with $25 billion in below-market loans, costing taxpayers $7.5 billion to subsidize the retooling of plants and development of technologies to help U.S. carmakers to build cleaner, more fuel efficient cars. Companies would not have to begin repaying the loans for five years, drawing objections from Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., who predicted they would return for more help when the money is due.
Republicans made ending the coastal drilling ban a central campaign issue this summer as $4-plus per gallon gasoline stoked voter anger and turned public opinion in favor of more exploration.
The action does not mean drilling is imminent and still leaves the oil-rich eastern Gulf of Mexico off limits. But it could set the stage for the government to offer leases in some Atlantic federal waters as early as 2011.
Also in the bill is money to avert a shortfall in Pell college aid grants and solve problems in the Women, Infants and Children program delivering healthy foods to the poor.
In addition to the Pentagon�s budget, there is $40 billion for the Homeland Security Department and $73 billion for veterans� programs and military base construction projects. Combined with the Defense Department�s spending, that amounts to about 60 percent of the budget work Congress must pass each year.

Hong Kong announces plans to charge for the rubbish you throw away
By staff writer, with additional reporting by Ben Pang
The environment minister yesterday unveiled the plan to charge for disposal of municipal solid waste. The charges could be in force by the second half of 2019 at the earliest. Each household will have to pay HK$1.70 each time they use a prepaid 15-litre bag, or HK$1.10 for a 10-litre bag, says Secretary for the Environment Wong Kam-sing.
The "by bag" method will apply to premises such as residential estates, which use refuse collection services provided by the government. The cost depends on the bag used, and they come in nine sizes, from three to 100 litres. If the trash exceeds the 100-litre bag, the household has to buy a special HK$11 label from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD).
People will be able to buy the bags from more than 4,000 locations, such as convenience stores, supermarkets and post offices.
The FEHD would refuse to collect any trash without the special label or prepaid bags. In the first three months after the launch, the FEHD officers would only give verbal warnings to offenders, but repeat offenders would be charged a HK$1,500 fixed penalty.
The plans will be discussed next week by members of the Legislative Council's environmental affairs panel.

Case Study
System restart ancillary services
"I've been able to carve out a unique position for myself here."
By Christiaan Zuur, Director
At the AEMC, we work across a broad range of subjects, so I get to apply and enhance my skills and experience in different ways, to master engineering concepts, and use my writing skills to communicate these concepts in ways people can understand.
In 2015/16, I worked on a project called System Restart Ancillary Services. That was all about how you restart the electricity system if you get a catastrophic blackout. As events in South Australia in September 2016 have shown, it is important to be prepared for such major supply disruptions. The project involved much engagement with industry and government stakeholders. It became about setting up good governance frameworks, and distributing and confirming responsibilities and accountabilities amongst the parties.
I've been able to carve out a unique position for myself here, and having a sense of ownership over the outcomes of your work is very fulfilling. If you have the intellectual curiosity, and the ability to drive your own development, this is a great place to work.

I had a fantastic May day photographing the wonderful Cheshire Wedding of Gemma and Andrew at a new venue to me the delightful Wincham Hall Hotel near Nantwich. I thought I'd share just one image taken in the evening with very threatening clouds and a lovely white umbrella on hand to ward of the approaching rain. Being May it was taken after the first dance probably about 9, it was dark and gloomy and already light was fading fast. I wanted to capture an image with the hotel in the background and taking advantage of the long driveway as a leading line up to the hotel. As Wincham Hotel was now dark I also illuminated the venue and Gemma and Andrew. Gemma's dress is stunning, every little detail of the lace shows in the photograph. She looks amazing. Andrew looks pretty dame good also. A wonderful wedding and I can't wait to start editing it and sharing more with you.
One thought on "A little taster from Gemma and Andrew's Cheshire Wedding"
HI Joe,
We have looked at your website and love what we see.
Would you be available to photograph our wedding at wincham hall Northwich on 14th July 2018. We would be arriving at the venue shortly before the wedding at 12 noon so it would be photos from then to first dance. Please advise on cost and deposit required.
Many thanks
Viv Aitken

It was hard rain day but gathering ten more Bassfly anglers. And we went to on the water by own small watercraft.
|Float tubing is really good craft for bass.
|It was hard rain almost in all day.
|I was fly fishing from inflatable kayak.
|And first bass on the day.
|On yellow gurgler.
|Second bass I fished on red balsawood popper.
|See you!
|And nice bluegill.
|I caught several nice size bluegill on popper.
