NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are rising Monday as technology companies, retailers and household goods companies gain ground. Some of the world's largest technology companies, including Apple and Microsoft, are leading the way, although Facebook is lagging after the New York Times reported that the social media company shared user data with dozens of device makers. The company is disputing that report. Health care companies are mixed as investors react to results from studies of cancer drugs at a top medical conference.
KEEPING SCORE: The S&P 500 index climbed 8 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,743 as of 11:35 a.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 178 points, or 0.7 percent, to 24,813 behind gains from aerospace company Boeing, retailers Walmart and Home Depot, and payment processor Visa. The Nasdaq composite gained 17 points, or 0.4 percent, or, 7,581. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks lost 1 point, or 0.1 percent, to 1,646.
The S&P 500 rose 1.1 percent Friday after the government said employers added 233,000 jobs in May, a strong gain.
LEADERS: Apple climbed 1 percent to $192.19 as investors waited for the start of its annual developers' conference. Alphabet, Google's parent company, gained 1.5 percent to $1,151.59 and Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices added 1.9 percent to $14.67.
Microsoft made a more modest gain. It rose 0.5 percent to $101.27 after the company said it will pay $7.5 billion in stock to buy GitHub, a popular site where software developers can go to host and review each other's code. Around 27 million software developers around the world use its platform to share code and build businesses.
Retailers also moved higher. Under Armour rose 3.5 percent to $22.10 and Target gained 4.8 percent to $76.33 while Walmart picked up 2.5 percent to $85.04.
FACEBOOK POKED: The New York Times reported Sunday that Facebook struck data-sharing deals with at least 60 device makers, including Apple and Amazon, raising more concerns about what users give up when they use Facebook. Facebook said it disagreed with the reporting. Ime Archibong, vice president of product partnerships, said in blog post that Facebook has maintained tight control over the technology and that it is not aware of any abuse by the companies that it teamed with.
Facebook lost 0.5 percent to $193.05. Earlier this year the stock skidded and Facebook's handling of user data was criticized after allegations a firm linked to the Trump campaign improperly harvested personal data from as many as 87 million Facebook accounts. Wall Street's concerns about the stock gradually faded and Facebook closed at an all-time high Friday.
CHINA'S WARNING: The Chinese government said Sunday that it won't step up purchases of American products if President Donald Trump taxes billions of dollars' worth of Chinese imports. China had promised to buy more goods from the U.S. last month, an announcement that led Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to say that the proposed tariffs were suspended and a potential trade war was "on hold." But more recently, Trump has renewed his threat to impose 25 percent tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese high-tech goods.
Chipmaker Micron Technology fell following reports that it and two other companies are being investigated by the Chinese government. The stock lost 1.2 percent to $58.05.
HEALTH CARE: Companies reported results from cancer drug studies at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Nektar Therapeutics plunged 39.3 percent to $54.88 after it and a partner disclosed data from a potential treatment for pancreatic cancer. Analyst Debjit Chattopadhay of H.C. Wainwright said investors were concerned by mixed results from the study and a lack of information and a lung cancer drug study.
As of Friday, Nektar stock had more than tripled in value since early November. Shares of its partner Bristol-Myers Squibb lost 5.7 percent to $50.11. Merck gained 2.6 percent to $62.15 after it reported encouraging results from studies of lung cancer treatments.
ENERGY: Energy companies traded lower as benchmark U.S. crude dropped 1.7 percent to $64.71 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, fell 1.8 percent to $75.44 per barrel in London.
BONDS: Bond prices dipped. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.92 percent from 2.90 percent late Friday.
CURRENCIES: The dollar rose to 109.65 yen from 109.51 yen. The euro rose to $1.1690 from $1.1662.
OVERSEAS: Germany's DAX rose 0.4 percent and France's CAC 40 added 0.2 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 climbed 0.4 percent. The benchmark Nikkei 225 in Japan rose 1.4 percent and the South Korean Kospi gained 0.4 percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rallied 1.7 percent.

DescriptionIt's a struggle finding words to describe the sheer opulence of Chalet Ormello, but we will give it a try. Managed by the five star Les Airelles hotel, this freestanding luxury ski chalet is a self-contained universe of luxury and sophistication, set in the most exclusive corner of Courchevel 1850.
Take a deep breath of the rarified atmosphere of Chalet Ormello as you sink into the deep-cushioned sofa in front of the huge fireplace. From the butler serving your champagne to the security manager keeping you safe, the service is second to none. Perhaps it's a gathering of friends, or perhaps it's a group of several different families you've assembled. One thing is certain – this will be an unforgettable experience.
Tread carefully on the beautiful Persian rugs, and the classical works of art; run your fingers along the weathered wood panels and plush upholstery. The stately home atmosphere of Chalet Ormello is intoxicating. And best of all is the location – just a few steps from the Bellecote piste, yet close to the heart of Courchevel 1850. Whether you ski to the door, or make use of your private chauffeur, getting around is a cinch.
Within the 1,000 square metres of Chalet Ormello you will find every luxury imaginable. From the wellness area with its state of the art gym and counter-current pool, to the shadowy opulence of the cinema room and private bar. And in the unlikely event that you tire of your surroundings, all the facilities of the nearby Les Airelles hotel are also at your disposal. Here you can dine in the Michelin starred restaurant, take a spin on the private ice rink and book pampering treatments at the hotel spa.
It's not just a playground for adults though, because Chalet Ormello has a fantastic children's playroom, packed with toys and games for kids of all ages. Just make sure that you savour every moment here, because it will come to an end all too soon.

With up to fifteen people in your party, you may find that some like to eat at different times, or have a different menu. As well as the main dining area, the chalet has smaller dining spaces and kitchenettes for flexibility.
Children's suppers can be served earlier than the main evening meal, so your little ones don't have to wait around, tired and hungry. You can discuss menus in advance with your chef and it really is a case of 'whatever you want'.

And of course, there are numerous fine wines to choose from, and a fully stocked bar to keep the party going strong.
Every day the chef prepares a range of breakfast treats to set you up for the day, delicious afternoon teas, and a seven course evening meal – according to your instructions. Fabulous feasts, simple suppers or fragrant oriental dishes can be served for all or just a few of your group. After all, there may be nights when you venture out to dine at one of Courchevel's many celebrated restaurants.
ReviewsThere are currently no reviews for Chalet Ormello.
KidsChildren have the best of everything at Chalet Ormello and there is no shortage of entertainment on offer. Within this luxury ski chalet itself there is a wonderful playroom with all kinds of toys and games from computer games to train sets. And of course, the concierge service is on hand to arrange any ski lessons, childcare and transport, so you can just relax.
Why not set up a great family film in the supersized cinema room for the kids to watch while you have a massage and a swim? Just ask the chef to make the children's favourite things for supper and sit back with a glass of champagne as they head off to bed, exhausted after a thrilling day on the slopes.
And on top of all this, you have free access to all the facilities of the renowned Les Airelles hotel. That includes a merry go round and an ice rink. Surely these are all the ingredients for the perfect family holiday.

As indicated on the syllabus, your first Progress Report on our class project is due this Monday, March 17, by the end of class. The progress report should take the form of a correctly formatted, hyperlink-rich post to this blog. Each group needs to make only one post, but you should work together on the post and will be assigned a grade on the report as a group. Note that the report needs to show your progress, even if you haven't yet completed all the tasks assigned to you. The groups/tasks we assigned last Monday are as follows, but keep in mind that groups and tasks will shift as we move forward.
Collect Information about MS and AR Ads
Since we are interested in comparing the language in Texas runaway ads with the language in other states' ads, Kaitlyn and Daniel are going to look more closely at the ads from Mississippi and Arkansas that have already been digitized for the Documenting Runaway Slaves. They will collect information about:
- How many ads there are in each of the files for those states
- How many ads there are in particular newspapers
- How many ads there are in the time period we are interested in (1835-1860)
As we saw today in class, using regular expressions to search may help answer those and other questions.
Explore Methods for Comparing Corpora Outside of Voyant
Aaron and Alyssa are going to look into other ways we might be able to compare two documents to gauge their similarity. Some of the text mining resources listed here may provide some good leads, though we don't have to limit ourselves to a TF-IDF method.
Write an Introductory Historiographical Essay
Clare is going to draft an essay presenting the historiographical disagreements among scholars about the extent to which slavery in Texas was similar to or different from slavery in other parts of the South. This essay will help to frame the significance of our attempts to compare the language used in Texas runaway ads with the language in other states.

By A. H. KOSCHMANN and M. H. BERGENDAHL - USGS 1968
Click here for the Principle Gold Producing Districts of the United States Index
The first gold discovery in Nevada was in Lyon County in 1849 in Gold Canyon in the Silver City district. This discovery sparked the discovery of the Comstock Lode, in Storey County, 10 years later.
Lyon County is on the west edge of the Great Basin; the Sierra Nevada is immediately to the west. Mining districts are in the narrow, north-trending mountain ranges, typical of the Great Basin province. The most important gold districts are Silver City, Como, and Wilson. The major copper district of Yerington has not produced significant quantities of gold and is therefore not included in this report.
Total gold production for the county from 1903 through 1959 was 254,722 ounces.
The Como (Palmyra, Indian Springs) district is 10 miles southeast of Dayton. Quartz veins were discovered in the early 1860's and, with the Comstock fever still raging, people nocked to this new area, and a town was built before the deposits were properly evaluated (Stoddard and Carpenter, 1950, p. 76). For the next 50 years there Was no significant production from the district. Several attempts were made in 1916, 1929, and in more recent years to mine the low-grade ores, but none could be considered an unqualified success.
The Como mines produced ore valued at $212,698 through 1936 (Stoddard and Carpenter, 1950, p. 77). The Hully and Logan mine produced a total of $76,995 worth of ore from 1900 to 1940, and the Star of the West mine produced $1,118 in 1939. These data are admittedly incomplete. Though gold was the principal commodity, the amount of gold included in these totals is not known; however, 10,000 to 15,000 ounces seems to be a reasonable assumption.
The rocks of the district are Tertiary volcanics, primarily andesite, several thousands of feet thick (Stoddard and Carpenter, 1950, p. 76). Quartz veins, striking east, contain gold, silver, and small amounts of copper in a quartz gangue.

There was a ray of light with this full moon in the form of a grand water trine. The full moon in Scorpio trined Jupiter in Cancer and Chiron in Pisces. It inspired me to tweet:
"Potential for healing in relationships today with moon Trining Chiron and Jupiter. Lots of water energy." Surprisingly, this was my most popular tweet of the week on Twitter. On a personal level, this manifested for me by allowing me to compassionately set a boundary with a friend who was requesting free astrological advice while I was working on a client's chart. I was elated that she was not offended because I have never been good at setting boundaries; I either gave in and seethed with resentment or bluntly told the person off. So I regard that as a healing opportunity to transform my negative Scorpio traits into more compassionate Cancer and Pisces ones. I ditched the sarcasm and resentment and embraced the traits of being compassionate yet was able to set a boundary. I'll savor my victories when I find them.
But Venus in Aries has been a key player this week, especially during the full moon. How could it not be in the sign of Aries, still in the crossfire of the recent Grand Cardinal Cross? On the day of the full moon, Venus squared Pluto in Capricorn. This aspect prompted me to tweet: "Venus square Pluto today calls for us to let go of our obsessions and transform relationships with influence of full moon." I have a natal Venus Pluto square, so I am very familiar with the nature of this energy. Obsession rules with this aspect. It played out in a very unusual way for me—I became obsessed with solving a computer related issue on my tablet and I wound up spending more hours on it than I cared to. It isn't resolved yet, but my obsessive research led me to some potential solutions that I hope to implement in the near future. I am still not clear how this full moon will play out for me regarding relationships, but I do know that there are imminent financial changes for me in the near future with my Venus in the second house. I trust that more will be revealed in the coming days. I went to my weekly meditation group that night and the minister who usually leads it was not present. Mercury was up to its trickster antics that night when the CD started skipping and breaking up during the meditation, but I still managed to have a relatively peaceful meditation. I did experience a sense of my deceased parents and grandparents surrounding me with love during the meditation, so it was definitely not a bad experience. Did I mention that transiting Mercury in Gemini was conjuncting my natal moon in the 8th house? I shouldn't have been surprised to feel their presence. A full moon in Scorpio is an intense emotional experience, no doubt about it.
On Thursday, May 15th, Venus conjuncted Uranus in Aries. I sensed that this could definitely open doors for new, unconventional ways of relating. Elizabeth Taylor had Venus conjunct Uranus in Aries and she certainly had an unconventional love life. Mercury in Gemini was sextiling both Venus and Gemini, so communication was definitely a major theme. Unfortunately for me, my communications were feeling the ill effects of this transit when my computer froze after some Windows updates. The moon also entered the sign of Sagittarius that day and squared Neptune in Pisces, which may have obscured reality somewhat with the mutable energy of these two planets and a tendency to view things with rose colored glasses. But I think that most people experienced a feeling of relief when the moon entered the sign of Sagittarius after having been in intense Scorpio since Monday night.
On Friday, May 16th Venus is trining that moon in Sagittarius. This is a great way to start the weekend and enjoy nurturing, relaxing activities. I am getting my hair done and I think that is an optimal use of this transit. On Sunday, May 18th Venus in Aries will be squaring Jupiter in Cancer. Normally squares are considered to be challenging, but with these two planets involved, the worst case scenarios would include excessive optimism, overindulging, overspending, exaggerating our feelings and feeling lazy. There could be far worse ways to spend a Sunday.

One of the overarching trends in mileage program promotions over the past two decades has been targeting. Targeting takes many forms, from offering more miles exclusively to past customers who have flown on a particular route to the now common practice of requiring customers to register in order to receive bonus miles for completing a specified activity.
From the airlines' standpoint, targeting is just financially responsible marketing.
But consumers have inevitably been losers. In particular, we're rarely if ever treated to those juicy offers of old, which promised double miles for all flights during a given period.
So I was heartened to discover a new Delta promotion offering double miles for purchases at every retailer in its SkyMilesShopping.com mileage mall between February 1 and March 10.
Even during the Christmas shopping season, the mileage mall bonus offers were limited to a handful of participating merchants. So this promotion is an attention-getter.
Is this a new trend back in the direction of network-wide promotions? No. Which is all the more reason to take advantage of the double miles before the offer expires.

|Recent Results on Non-invasive Beam Size Measurement Methods Based on Polarization Currents
|We present recent results on non-invasive beam profile measurement techniques based on Diffraction Radiation (DR) and Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR). Both methods exploit the analysis of broadband electromagnetic radiation resulting from polarization currents produced in, or at the boundary of, a medium in close proximity of a charged particle beam. To increase the resolution of DR, measurements were performed in the UV range at a wavelength of 250 nm. With such configurations, sensitivity to the beam size of a 1.2 GeV electron beam below 10 um was observed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK, Japan. In the case of the ChDR, a proof of principle study was carried out at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) where beam profiles were measured in 2017 on a 5.3 GeV positron beam. At the time of writing an experiment to measure the resolution limit of ChDR has been launched at ATF where smaller beam sizes are available. We will present experimental results and discuss the application of such techniques for future accelerators.

Big data is usually about the collection and analyzing of information that can then be processed for company so that they can be able to make much better decisions and be able to give better directions. One thing that you should realize is that big data has been used by a number of companies in the world today and they have been able to create a very high level of efficiency and have been able to enjoy benefits. Some simple things that can help you to understand much more about big data is that it's usually made of three factors and these include, the high-speed, high-volume but in addition to that, you also be able to get a high variety of the data. Both small and big businesses can be able to use big data to be able to increase the level of efficiency in the operations as shall be discussed in this article. It's going to be very much easy to make decisions whenever a company decides to use the data and in the end, this helps to reduce costs in a very big way. Another reason why some costs have always continued to increase in many businesses is because of errors that are done during recording and transacting and therefore, big data can help you to eliminate these.
Enterprise Analytics Visualization is also very beneficial when it comes to time management, it helps it perform things much faster because of the different digital platforms that you can be able to use for the operations of the company. People that are keen enough to use big data will be able to save a lot of time in performing of tasks many that, they can even decide to do much more, activities that are going to be beneficial for the company.
How you do pricing at the company also becomes much easier and much better the moment you decide to use big data.

What does a lawyer do on her tropical honeymoon?
Swim with the Sharks of course!!
We went snorkeling in the Bahamas on our honeymoon. The final snorkel was a "shark dive." Now, I have a fear of sharks, a rather impressive, illogical, irrational, they can get smart and grow legs and come eat me on land kind of fear. Therefore, I was not intending to get into the water while there were any sharks around at all. However, during one of the reef dives, there was a lone shark fairly near by, and he didn't hunt me down with "jaws"-esque intensity so I began to relax. Lee said they weren't going to attack a lawyer anyway, professional courtesy and all. Being our honeymoon, I decided to forgo the requisite violent response.
Then we got to the last dive. The shark dive. I looked into the water and saw an ocean teeming with sharks.
I felt faint, I felt certain this was a bad idea, I felt I had to do it anyway. (I never said I am always intelligent.)
Yes, in spite of my inner brain, which at this point was screaming loudly while attempting to make my arms and legs cling to the ship, I entered the shark infested waters.
I followed the rules, followed the rope out into the water, and looked down. There were a lot of sharks, about 20 - 30 of them investigating the bait box below. However, the bait box was really, really far below, about 30-40 feet deep, so the sharks weren't so bad. I started to calm down. I spent some time ogling the fiercesome predators in their environment, I started to enjoy myself. Then I saw movement out of the corner of my right eye. I looked to the right.... and calmly ambling towards me with the best of intentions was a frackin shark! It was perhaps 10-15 feet away, near the surface of the water, peering at me as if to say "What's all this then? Got any food?"
Well at this point I choked a little on seawater because one shouldn't actually say "This is a F&*&ing bad idea" while snorkeling. (Who knew?)
So I began to edge towards the boat with an outward calm. It took far too long to get out of the water, but eventually I was on dry land again. Whew.
Then they called everyone in and pulled up the bait box. And fed them.
This is what a shark frenzy looks like...
This is what sharks do when they are being taunted with dead fish by young Bahamian divers.
Notice the surprising amount of boat underneath that shark! The sharks started coming up out of the water and onto the back of the boat. Yes my friends, it seemed as though they were indeed growing legs and coming to get me on dry land! But there were no legs, they were leaping on the to back end for the fish, and there was about 6 inches of boat wall between me and the sharks. Tee hee hee.... heh.
Anyway, I survived, and enjoyed it! Though the experience has not really eradicated my shark fear, but then again, I admitted it was irrational. I am not sure I would ever do this again, but I can certainly say I am pleased I was able to greet my fellow sharks personally, without the assistance of a set of cement galoshes.

I really rather liked the cement galoshes line, if I do say so myself. The line about professional courtesy? Not surprised it was made by Lee at all.
Congrats for getting in the water anyway! Too bad no one on the boat took a picture of you in the water with them!
- Scylla said...
We were all in the water... surprisingly enough! I am rather proud of my momentary bravery!
- The Observer said...
Hmm I think I have a new additional life goal . . .
- Scylla said...
I definately think we should all swim with sharks. At least all our group members. Then we can all get matching shark tattoos!!

Most of my winter clothes are black and grey. Which is chic, but can be dull. Stripes help give dimension.
I tried different colour pumps but anything other than black with black tights looks cheap, especially light colours.
One of the best wardrobe staples is a grey blazer because it goes with everything from high waist flares to cocktail dresses.
Add some J-Lo hoops for a bit of tame bling and a cute striped scarf (similar) Dotty ring – Bangkok boutique

This little dress (similar) is an old favourite. I love the texture, it feels wintery warm.
Add a snuggly long cardi, ankle boots and a cute pink bag!

Finding a perfect over-coat for Autumn that looks good dressed up for work or casual for weekends is certainly a challenge.
This little gem fit my criteria perfectly. Great length, warm, fitted, simple lines and easy to throw on over anything. I wore it withskinny jeans and flats on the weekend (and two women stopped me to ask where I bought it!!) and here for work with heels and a frock
The hood is cute but I wouldn't wear it up because it would mess with the hair, BUT, it creates a really pretty silhouette
I love the simple high waist tie but the structure of the coat is good enough to wear open without it looking like a sack

It was our 5 year anniversary recently and Robbie bought me this gorgeous pendant.
The design was inspired by a birds nest. I love the pink jade tear-drop. This entire outfit was planned to be a good back-drop.
Top – Zara (useful staple, I have them in three colours)
Pendant – Shanghai Tang

Well, not singing exactly, but posing YES, in my flattering cream & black high-waist frock
I love the rain, as long as its not cold or dripping on my suede two-tone platforms
I got this dress from Mango, last year Spring collection. Now that I think about it, it was the last time I actually bought something in Mango, perhaps I have out-grown the brand

First dengue death in Odisha; situation alarming as 48 test positive
Bhubaneswar: A woman died reportedly of dengue shock syndrome at a private hospital in Bhubaneswar on Thursday, making it the first confirmed dengue death in Odisha this year.
The deceased was admitted to the private hospital two days back along with her sister-in-law who has also tested positive for dengue.
"So far we have not received official report but the patient was undergoing dengue treatment at a private hospital. We have taken all possible precaution to tackle the situation and asked Municipal Corporation to source reduction of aedes agypte mosquitoes that spread dengue virus. Spraying of anti larvicide oil work is being undertaken in all major drains in the city," stated health director, Braja Kishore Bramha.
Bramha further informed, this year 48 dengue positive cases have been reported from 20,000 blood samples that had come for tests from different parts of Odisha. A total of 45 samples had tested positive out of 10,000 samples during the same period last year.
Out of the total 48 dengue positive cases, eight have been reported from Khurda district followed by five positive cases from Puri.
"Already there is a standing instruction that only Elisa test will be taken into consideration for dengue positive cases which are conducted free of cost in government hospitals and district headquarters hospitals across the state. We also urge people to seek proper medical assistance instead of treating common fever all by themselves," Bramha added.

Published at Sunday, July 28th, 2019 - 19:29:54 PM. Wedding Dresses. By Adalhard Keller.
If you have prominent hips and a smaller bust area, then your wedding dress size will be based on your hip size. Once you get your wedding gown, you need to check if alterations need to be made for a perfect fit. Most brides find that alterations are necessary to get the size right. Ask the boutique or shop owner for estimates on how much you're going to have to pay for dress alterations to determine if you're getting a great bargain or a rotten deal.
Know the importance of finding the right skirt style and dress shape for your body. Much like wedding dresses, brides come in different shapes and sizes. Take into consideration your physical assets, your overall body shape and your problem areas when making your choice of skirt style and dress shape. For example, if you're shaped like an inverted triangle, with prominent shoulders and small hips, then a ball gown would balance your proportions creating the perfect silhouette and hourglass figure.

How to Make Slime Without Borax
Explore this Article Making Basic Cornstarch Slime Making Edible Slime Making Baby Powder Slime Show 1 more... Show less... Article Summary Video Questions & Answers References
The wikiHow Video Team also followed the article's instructions, and validated that they work. Learn more...
The most common recipe for homemade slime uses borax, but not everyone has borax readily available at home. Luckily, it is still possible to make slime without borax, and this wikiHow will show you how.
Cornstarch Slime
- 1½ cups (350ml) of water
- 13 drops of food coloring (optional)
- 2 cups cornstarch
Edible Slime
- 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Tablespoon (14 grams) of corn flour
- 10-15 drops of food coloring
Baby Juice Slime
- ½ cup glue
- Food coloring
- ½ cup baby powder
Powdered Fiber Slime
- Water
- Food coloring
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) powdered fiber
- 1 cup (237ml) of water
Making Basic Cornstarch Slime
1Add 1 cup (250ml) of water to a small saucepan. Heat until the water is warm but not hot or boiling. You do not want to use boiling water because then you will have to wait for it to cool before you can use your hands to mix the slime.
- You can also pour the water into a microwave-safe bowl and place it in the microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute to heat up the water.
2Pour the cup of the warm water into a bowl. Add three to four drops of green food coloring until the water is about a shade darker than you want the slime to be. When you make the slime, the color will be diluted slightly. Mix the water well with a spoon.
3Measure 2 cups (140g/500ml) of cornstarch. Cornstarch is known as cornflour in the UK and elsewhere. Place it into a separate large-sized bowl.
4Empty the colored water into the bowl with the cornstarch. Pour the colored water in slowly. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients together. Thoroughly blend the mixture into the consistency of a thick paste.
5Regulate the consistency of the slime. You can add more cornstarch if the slime is too thin. Add more warm water from the amount remaining in the pan if the mixture is too thick. This is a matter of personal preference.
- Keep doing this as much as needed to obtain a mixture that is of the right slimy consistency for your needs. You should be able to put your fingers into the mixture easily. When you run your finger along the slime's surface, it should feel dry.
6Add items to the slime to make it extra fun (optional). You can use rubber worms, plastic insects or eyeballs, etc. This is a great idea for a Halloween party, a science party or for a party or camp based on nature or environmental themes.
7Place your slime into a plastic bag. Seal the bag well to preserve it.
Making Edible Slime
1Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan. You can also use a pot.[1]
2Add 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of cornstarch to the sweetened condensed milk. Turn the heat on low and simmer the mixture. Stir constantly.[2]
3Remove the mixture from the heat when it has thickened. Add the food coloring. Add as much as you need to reach your desired color.[3]
4Allow the slime to cool. Once it has cooled, you can play with (or eat) it. Keep in mind that it might stain lighter colored clothes or carpets.[4]
Making Baby Powder Slime
Making Powdered Fiber Slime
1Mix 1 teaspoon of powdered fiber with 1 cup of water. Be sure to do this in a microwave-safe bowl as you will be putting the mixture in the microwave later.[5]
2Add drops of food coloring until the water and fiber mixture is your desired color. This will be the color of your slime. It will not be diluted later. Stir thoroughly.[6]
3Place the mixture and microwave-safe bowl in the microwave. Heat it on high for four to five minutes. Check on the mixture regularly to make sure that it does not boil over the bowl.[7]
4Let the mixture stand for two to four minutes and stir. The mixture should be relatively cool after this amount of time.[8]
5Repeat the boiling and cooling process two to six times, stirring the mixture each time you let it cool. The more times you repeat this process, the thicker your slime will be.
6Let the slime cool in the microwave. Let it sit for 10 or so minutes. Make sure not to handle it before it is fully cooled as it will be very hot.[9]
- You can place the slime on a plate or cutting board to cool.
Community Q&A
QuestionHow can I make slime with soap?Community AnswerYou can make slime with soap, especially with liquid soap. Mix liquid soap and baking soda, then chill in the refrigerator to firm.
QuestionHow do you make simple slime?Community AnswerAdd some glue into a bowl with liquid laundry detergent and mix until it no longer sticks to your hands. Be advised, organic detergent won't work.
QuestionIs there an easier way to make slime?Community AnswerYes, although this slime may turn out thick. In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of white glue and 1 tablespoon of liquid laundry detergent. Stir to combine, then wait a few minutes for it to turn gooey. If you want to make colored slime, stir in a few drops of food coloring into the glue before you add the detergent.
QuestionCan I make slime with powdered laundry detergent?Community AnswerYes. Mix the powder with warm water, then pour that mixture into glue for slime. Food coloring is optional.
QuestionWhat is the slime used for?Community AnswerMaking slime is a great science experiment for children. It is also fun to play with; kids love playing with icky, gooey, and sticky things. Also, slime can be used as a sensory activity for very young children--under strict supervision, of course, in case the child decides to eat the slime.
QuestionCan I make slime with a solid glue stick, instead of the other glue mentioned?Community AnswerYes. Add 4 cups of cornflour, 2 tablespoons of water and a whole glue stick. It may be lumpy at first but continue stirring.
QuestionWhat age do I have to be to make this kind of stuff?Community AnswerA child could do it under supervision, so any age is fine as long as you have permission.
QuestionIf I use the simple way of making slime, what kind of glue do I need to use?Community AnswerAny glue will do. I recommend something like Elmer's glue (clear or white, it doesn't matter), not tacky glue.
QuestionIs the cornstarch version is sticky?Community AnswerYes, it may stick to your fingers a little but if that happens, then add more cornstarch to prevent the stickiness.
QuestionWhere can I get the items to make the slime?Community AnswerYou can find most items in the baking department of your local grocery store (ie: cornstarch, food coloring, etc). You can find the glue in an office supply store or in an arts and crafts store.
Article SummaryX
To make slime without borax, first, mix together a fourth cup (60 milliliters) of glue and 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of water in a bowl. Add a few drops of your favorite food coloring if you like. Next, add in 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of liquid laundry detergent and mix until combined. Continue adding 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of laundry detergent to the mixture at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Knead the slime with your hands and enjoy.
- If you want crunchy slime, add foam beads.
- You can add hand soap to make it more stretchy when making the slime!
- If you add lotion your slime will be stretchier.
- When you make slime, be sure to wash your hands when you're done.
- Never add nail varnish for colour.
- If you decide to leave yours in the freezer, don't leave it in for too long.
- Don't leave your slime out overnight because it will dry if you do. Make sure you put your slime in a ziplock bag or an airtight container when you're not playing with it.
- Making this slime will be a messy venture. Wear old clothes and be sure to cover surfaces that might be spoiled if splashed or slimed.
- If your slime is too sticky, add cornstarch.
- As an alternative to food coloring, you can mix powdered tempera to the cornstarch before you add it to the water.
- You can add baby oil if you want the slime to be glossy.
- Do not get slime on your clothes, because it can stain them.
- If you want your slime to be dark, add 5-8 drops of your desired food coloring. If you want your slime to be light, add 2-3 drops of the desired food coloring.
- You can add shaving cream to make it fluffy.
- Stick greaseproof paper onto the table when you are making slime, as the clean up after will be easier.
- Do not add too much activator because it will be really hard.
- Add more glue to make your slime extra sticky.
- If you add to much flour then it will turn into a dough.
- Rolling your slime in a ball makes it much easier to transport.
- Use vinegar to get slime out of clothes.
- Though Basic Cornstarch and Slime Powdered Fiber Slime are made without Borax, supervise and do not let children put it in their mouths or eat it as it's not a food product. For very young children, it could be a choking hazard. However, should a child swallow some, provided choking isn't occurring, this slime should pass through without issues. This does not apply to Edible Slime.
- Do not put the slime on easily stained areas like marble flooring. Clean immediately in case of a spill.

DEAR ABBY: I'm writing to you about an experience I had that might be useful to girls my age and older. I'm in eighth grade and friends with more boys than girls. Because I'm a tomboy, fitting in with them is easier.
In manufacturing class today, I was hanging out with my friend Ian. We were in a larger group of boys and he started bragging about how a girl sent him a topless photo. He proceeded to pass around the photo.
Adults around us always tell us not to send photos to people you don't know and never to send inappropriate pictures. That lesson sure hit home with me when Ian showed that photo.
I want to warn other girls about this. Pictures don't stay as private as you might think. I feel bad for that poor girl! – Saw Too Much in Pennsylvania
DEAR SAW TOO MUCH: Thanks for the letter. Nobody likes to be lectured, and adults already do enough of that. I hope your message will resonate with young women because it's very important.
DEAR ABBY: I have a question about etiquette. I recently encountered a counselor I had gone to for many years. We exchanged the normal social amenities, and nothing was said about any therapy issues.
Abby, she holds a special place in my heart. I hadn't seen her in five years. She didn't look well at all. In fact, she looked awful. I was shocked.
Although I was concerned, I said nothing because I didn't know the correct way to handle the situation. What can I say to her to let her know I care? – Approaching in the Midwest
DEAR APPROACHING: Drop your former therapist a note, telling her what a difference she has made in your life and that she will always hold a special place in your heart. Explain that you were concerned when you saw her – and ask if there is any way you can be helpful, because you would very much like to be. Do not go into detail about how awful she looked, and don't expect her to start a social relationship with you. If she's well enough to practice her profession, doing so might be considered unethical.
DEAR ABBY: My husband's older brother comes over every few weeks to do his laundry. While he's here, he helps himself to my snacks. My husband's younger cousin also comes over every now and then to do his laundry and eat (at our expense or my labor).
We are better off financially than both of them, but I think the way they mooch off us is inconsiderate. My husband says it's normal and that's how family is. But we don't do that in my family, nor do we arrive anywhere empty-handed. Are his family using us, or is this normal? – Tired of It
DEAR TIRED: It's normal for your husband's family. Make an attempt to schedule these clothes-washing sessions at your convenience, and stash your snacks someplace you know the relatives won't find them.

EPF Wiki Installation Guide
This guide describes how to install EPF Wiki 1.6 using the Windows Web Server 2008 with IIS. EPF Wiki 1.6 is based on Rails 3.1.4. This guide can be used as starting point for creating a production environment for EPF Wiki based on IIS. Any edition of Windows Server 2008 may be installed without activation and evaluated for 240 days.
The recommended production environment for Rails (and so for EPF Wiki) is Linux/Ubuntu, see
EPF Wiki Installation Guide for Ubuntu. Linux/Ubuntu will give you a much, much smoother experience when it comes to running Rails applications. You should expect to spend ten times as much timeinstalling and maintaining.
It will take a few hours/half a day to complete the installation. Most of that time we will be waiting for MS Windows to download, install - also many bits we don't need - and do many, many reboots, for some reason.
If you have any questions about this guide or EPF Wiki please use the Eclipse Process Framework Project Developers List. More on information on EPF Wiki is in the EPF Wiki User Guide.
- 1 Requirements
- 2 VirtualBox (optional)
- 3 Windows Web Server 2008
- 4 UnxUtils
- 5 Install MySQL Server 5.5
- 6 Helicon Zoo
- 7 Install EPF Wiki
- 8 Configure EPF Wiki
- 9 Create IIS site for EPF Wiki
For the purpose of creating this guide a trial edition of Windows Web Server 2008 was used that can be downloaded from Microsoft.com. Using the Web Platform Installer (WPI) that is part of IIS we can easily install most of the required components for running EPF Wiki by selecting the Ruby Hosting package provided by Helicon Zoo. Helicon Zoo is a repository of web frameworks and applications for Microsoft IIS.
|VirtualBox (optional, recommended)
|Ubuntu Software Centre or download for Windows
|Windows Web Server 2008
|EPF Wiki 1.6
|Web Platform Installer (WPI)
|Part of Windows Web Server 2008
|MySQL Server 5.5
For your convenience most of the install files can be found in one location on Dropbox
VirtualBox (optional)
Installing EPF Wiki as a virtual appliance is a convenient way to use or evaluate EPF Wiki. For the purpose of creating this guide VirtualBox 4.1.12 was used. This can be installed using Ubuntu Software Centre.
Of course you can use any other virtualizer: VMWare, Parallels on any other platform.
Windows Web Server 2008
Create a VM for MS Windows 2008 with following properties: 1024MB, 20Gb, enable PAE/NX, enable VT-x/AMD-V, enable Nested Paging. More...
Add a dynamically expanding D-drive of 15GB to hold EPF Wiki sources and the process descriptions you will deploy.
Download Windows Web Server 2008 iso. In VirtualBox mount the ISO as CD/DVD and boot and install Windows Web Server 2008. Select the Windows Web Server 2008 (Full Installation) edition.
For your convenience it is recommended to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions. Share folder TODO
After installation finishes, boot the machine and Logon as Administrator and add IIS as a server role using Server Manager. More...
Role services selected:
- Common HTTP Features
- Application Development
- Health and Diagnostics
- Security
- Performance
- Management Tools except IIS 6 Management Compatibility
Wwwroot on D:
This step is optional but the remainder of this guide assumes you will put wwwroot directory on the D drive. So EPF Wiki will end up in D:\wwwroot\epfwiki_r1_6_20120916_0722 (rather than C:\inetpub\wwwroot\epfwiki_r1_6_20120916_0722).
- Logon to the VM and shutdown IIS using IIS Manager.
- Start Server Manager and add/create the D-drive using Disk Management.
- Copy C:\inetpub\wwwroot to D:\wwwroot
- Rename C:\inetpub\wwwroot to wwwroot-renamed
- Open Administrator: Command Prompt and make a symbolic link
mklink /D "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" "D:\wwwroot"
- Copy security settings from wwwroot-renamed to wwwroot. Notably settings for IIS_ISURS shoud be the same.
- Start IIS and check that the default site http://localhost is still working.
UnxUtils is used to unzip uploaded zip files with content. To install it:
- Creat folder with path C:\UnxUtils and download and extract there
- Add the entry C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin; for UnxUtils to your PATH variable
After these steps yo-u should be able to run unzip from any folder. To test it:
C:\Documents and Settings\Vmware>unzip --help UnZip 5.42 of 14 January 2001, by Info-ZIP. Maintained by C. Spieler. ... C:\Documents and Settings\Vmware>
Note: if you intend to upload via FTP rather than the web interface and there will be no uploaded zip files to extract, this step is still required. This is because UnxUtils is also used when the first administration account is created.
Install MySQL Server 5.5
mysql-5.5.24-win32.msi was used with Typical as the setup type, Standard Configuration as the configuration type. Installed as Windows Service and included bin directory in Windows PATH.
TODO C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\my.ini
Helicon Zoo
Helicon Zoo is a repository of web frameworks and applications for Microsoft IIS. We use this the Ruby Hosting Package and the WebMatrix Templates. These components are installed using Web Platform Installer (WPI) by Microsoft.
- Logon to the VM as Administrator
- Start IIS Manager, select Default Web Site and select Web Platform Installer.
- Select Options and enter the Helicon Zoo feed http://www.helicontech.com/zoo/feed/ as Custom Feed and check Enable configuration of all web application parameters
- select Add feed and OK.
- You should now see a tab Zoo. Select that and Add the following components
- Ruby Hosting Package
- WebMatrix Templates
MS Windows needs to reboot several times to complete this step. After each reboot you need to
start WPI again. When you do, the installation continues. Repeat this until after this WPI does notseem to want to install anything anymore.
While MS Windows is busy downloading/installing you can complete the next step: create MySQL database user.
Install EPF Wiki
Download epfwiki_r1_6_20120916_0722.zip and install it by extracting it to the folder D:\wwwroot\epfwiki_r1_6_20120916_0722.
After extracting it, change security settings of the folder. Give IIS_ISURS full control on this folder. The EPF Wiki site will run with anonymous authentication under IIS_ISURS so this users should have privileges to execute file but also to delete files, folders.
Create the MySQL Database User
From the same command prompt window as used in the previous step you can now create the MySQL Database User Account.
- In the Command Prompt logon to MySQL as root
- Create the user epfwiki with the password ikiwpur.
- Grant privileges and usage to this database user.
Of course you can use a different database user and password, you should change the database configuration file config/database.yml accordingly.
C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\My Web Sites\EPFW>mysql -uroot Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 5.0.27-community Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> create user 'epfwiki'@'localhost' identified by 'ikiwpur'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec) mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to 'epfwiki'@'localhost'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec) mysql> grant usage on *.* to 'epfwiki'@'localhost'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Edit the database configuration file config/database.yml. Make sure that the production entry matches your username and password from the previous step.
production: adapter: mysql2 database: epfwiki host: 127.0.0.1 username: epfwiki password: ikiwpur encoding: utf8
Vendor Gems
Deployment using IIS is less straightforward compared to for example Ubuntu as a result of the security model of IIS. For this reason HeliconTech recommends you put the package the required gems in vendor cache. More...
For you convience all files that are required for IIS deployment are in a separate download epfwiki_r1_6_20120916_0722_iis.zip. You can download that file and merge it with EPF Wiki sources to complete this step.
The following steps in this section are not required. There are provide in case you need to recreate the vendor gems
In case you need/want to package gems yourself, the procedure advised by HeliconTech is as follows. Install Ruby and EPF Wiki on a separate MS Windows box. Install bundler.
gem install bundler -v=1.1.4
Install gems by opening command prompt and navigating to EPF Wiki folder.
bundle install
Package the gems.
bundle package
Now the gems will be in a special folder vendor/cache. HeliconTech you put those gems in a folder vendor/gems and upload to the IIS server to the vendor/gems directory. Now these/any gems will be installed automatically when you (re)start because the deploy.rb contains a line to install them.
bundle install --local --path vendor/gems
Bundle Install
Rename folder vendor/gems to vendor/cache.
Via Start > All Programs > Ruby 1.9.3-p0 > Start Command Prompt with Ruby. Navigate to the application folder and enter
gem install bundler -v=1.1.4 bundle install --local --path vendor/cache gem install rails -v=3.1.4
Note that this command will also run each time you restart the server as it also present in the deploy.rb file.
Edit deploy.rb and change bundle install command so that it install vendor/cache.
MySQL Connector/C
bundle install at the outputs a message similar to below, with instructions to download and put libmysql.dll in Ruby bin directory. I downloaded my version of the connector mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32.zip from dev.mysql.com downloads.
====================================================================================================== You've installed the binary version of mysql2. It was built using MySQL Connector/C version 6.0.2. It's recommended to use the exact same version to avoid potential issues. At the time of building this gem, the necessary DLL files where available in the following download: http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-C/mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32.zip/from/pick And put lib\libmysql.dll file in your Ruby bin directory, for example C:\Ruby\bin ======================================================================================================
Create the database schema
Start Command Prompt with Ruby as in previous step and navigate to the application folder. Issue the following commands to create the database schema.
set RAILS_ENV=production rake db:create db:migrate
Note: if you need or want to recreate the database you can run the command rake rake db:drop db:create db:migrate
C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\My Web Sites\EPFW>set RAILS_ENV=production C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\My Web Sites\EPFW>rake db:create db:migrate (in C:/InstantRails2.0/rails_apps/EPFWiki) == 1 Initial: migrating ======================================================= -- create_table("checkouts", {:force=>true}) -> 0.0160s -- add_index("checkouts", ["user_id"], {:name=>"checkouts_user_id_index"}) -> 0.0160s ... (lines deleted) ... == 8 AdminMessages: migrating ================================================= == 8 AdminMessages: migrated (0.1250s) ======================================== == 9 CreateUpdates: migrating ================================================= -- create_table(:updates) -> 0.0160s == 9 CreateUpdates: migrated (0.0160s) ======================================== C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\My Web Sites\EPFW>
EPF Wiki uses the rich text editor TinyMCE which is a separate download and install. To integrate TinyMCE with EPF Wiki:
- Download TinyMCE 18.104.22.168 from tinymce.moxiecode.com.
- Extract the contents and copy the folder tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce to [application install dir]\public\javascripts. The folder javascripts\tiny_mce should now contain Javascript library tiny_mce.js
The 1.6 release of EPF Wiki was tested against TinyMCE 18.104.22.168. If you can't find that download, you can also download from my dropbox share.
Configure EPF Wiki
In EPF Wiki folder you might want to edit the configuration file for the production environment production.rb. At this point the three three configuration settings at the are the most important.
ENV['EPFWIKI_APP_NAME'] = 'EPF Wiki' ENV['EPFWIKI_REPLY_ADDRESS'] = "firstname.lastname@example.com" ENV['EPFWIKI_HOST'] = "localhost" # used for jobs, when there is no host variable in the environment
The no-reply address is rendered in every email as the from address.
EPF Wiki uses jobs (Scheduled Tasks on Windows) to send reports and update Wiki sites. Such a job is unaware of the Web server configuration as no Web server is involved in the operation, so we have to tell EPF Wiki the host and port the Web server is using. Note: include a port number if you are not using the default port 80 e.g. ENV['EPFWIKI_HOST'] = "myepfwiki:8080"
Edit web.config in the root of the EPF Wiki directory. Remove the following element.
<security> <authorization> <remove users="*" roles="" verbs="" />
<add accessType="Allow" users="ostraaten" /> </authorization> </security>
Specify the details of your SMTP server
EPF Wiki uses email extensively (for registration of new users, change reports), so an important step for any production environment is to add the details of your SMTP server. To do this edit the file config/initializers/setup_mail.rb. Change the file to match your SMTP server settings. An example for the Gmail SMTP server is
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com", :port => 587, :domain => "epf.eclipse.org", :user_name => "email@example.com", :password => "****", :authentication => "plain", :enable_starttls_auto => true }
If you don't have a SMTP server you could also use the following line in that file. That way you can use EPF Wiki without error messages being generated. In the log file log/production.log you will find extracts of email message send. There you should be able to find for example the sign up links send to users to create an account.
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test
Start EPF Wiki using WebRick
Before we run EPF Wiki using IIS, we run EPF Wiki using the embedded WEBrick webserver. If something is wrong the WEBRick console will give us more clues what needs to be fixed. Open command prompt and navigate to EPF Wiki folder
set RAILS_ENV=production rails server
If the WEBrick starts without errors, navigate to http://localhost:3000/. You should see the screen to create the administrator account.
If something is wrong the log file log/production.log will have more detailed information about errors.
Add Scheduled Task(s)
There are two jobs you can run using a scheduled task. One is used to update Wiki sites with new baselines which you can run as often as you like. One is used to send reports which is meant to be run once a day. If you run it more often, users who subscribed for a daily report will get multiple daily reports.
To update Wiki site with new baselines you execute the following command from EPF Wiki application root:
rake epfw:update RAILS_ENV=production
To send reports you run
rake epfw:reports RAILS_ENV=production
Or you could run both jobs as one task, updating first and then sending reports
rake epfw:update epfw:reports RAILS_ENV=production
Create IIS site for EPF Wiki
Now you can create a IIS site for EPF Wiki using IIS Manager. Point the site to the physical folder path e.g. D:\wwwroot\epfwiki_r1_6_20120916_0722. Navigate to the site, now you should also see the page to create the first administrator account.

The Calendar Tool in WebCT is a great way to keep the students aware of what is due when, but it is a slow process to update especially at the beginning of a semester when multiple entries need to be added. Another approach is to create the entries in a comma delimited text file, and then import the data into the calendar all at once. Excel makes this task even easier. It is an efficient way for designers to add multiple calendar entries. WebCT allows the designer to import calendar entries from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

This installment of Foundations of Audio explains one of the most essential ingredients in audio mixing, reverb—the time it takes for sound to bounce, echo, and decay during a live performance or recording. Reverb gives a natural richness to your recordings, which is possible to reproduce. Producer and audio engineer Alex U. Case covers the acoustic, mechanical, and digital means for creating reverb, and charts the parameters (room size, density, etc.) you'll need to know to take advantage of the original recording space and enhance it in post. He then shows how to simulate reverb digitally with effects, adding timbre, texture, and contrast, and improve the sound of your mixes with a sense of space and depth. These techniques can be practiced with the free Get in the Mix sessions, currently available for Pro Tools and Logic Pro.
Topics include:

I've been knitting since I was about 8 years old, and those who know me know that has been a long time. I handspin and do a little weaving too. When I am teaching people to knit or spin the first thing I tell them:
"Don't use your teeth for tools" you would be amazed how many people hold needles in their mouth and snip thread
with their teeth. Trust me just don't do it! The next thing
"If you are going to spend your time, and talent on doing a project that you, or someone you love is going to live with for years, for goodness sake make it out of the best stuff you can get!"
Just a thought;
The finer and more exotic the fibre the finer the yarn usually is, hence more valuable and more expensive. That 1000+ yd ball of lace weight yarn at $25 that will make a wedding shawl and will provide hours of knitting pleasure, whereas a chunky acrylic 84 yd ball at $5, that will need 3+ balls can make a hat and scarf and be knit in a weekend. There is a place for both. I postulate that in any other area of our lives we comparison shop. Does this meet my needs with quality and value? How much time am I investing in this and what will be its planned obsolescence, a season, a year, 5 or 10 years (I have socks I knit with really good stuff 10 years ago and with care I expect them to last another year or 2). You'd be asking these questions buying an appliance, why not when knitting a project?
I guess that I wish more people cruising the yarn aisles of the big box stores would take a moment to think, am I knitting for my own enjoyment and/or to make something for those I love, including myself, do I know why I knit? I would also observe that the people who seem to get the most pleasure out of knitting have answered these questions.
I know I have.

Budva – Budva's tourist organization for the first time will present itself individually in some of the EU countries and on the tourist market in Prague, which will be held from the 15th to 18th of February.
On a separate stand the offer of the metropolis of tourism for the 2007 will be promoted.
Budva's tourist delegation will be led by the mayor Rajko Kuljaca and the vice president of the municipality, Lazar Radjenovic.
During this year, says the director of the local TO, Tanja Kazanegra, the offer of the town will be presented on 11 fairs in the region, as well as in the countries of Europe.
– The total budget for this year, for the fair presentation, is 150.000€, as much as the cost for renting and arranging the stands is, and the printing of the propaganda material – said Kazanegra on a yesterday's press conference.
She reminded on the friendship of Czech Republic and Montenegro, as well as on the fact that Budva is adopted brother with the Czech town Valski Mezerichi.
– Numerous Czech tourists for years have been coming on our Riviera. Just for the last year Budva was visited by 9.248 tourists from Czech Republic, which compared to the year 2005 is 10% more. Compared to the year 2004 it's even 37% more – said Kazenegra and added that she is expecting an even bigger number of tourists from that country.
After Prague, the offer of Budva will be presented on the market in Berlin and in Moscow, on the stand of the national TO.
On the stand of the tour operator "Techno tourist" they will have the onset on the market in Milan too.
– Individually we will present ourselves on the stand in Belgarde, while with the TO of Bar, Kotor and Tivat we will present ourselves in Ljubljana and Banjaluka – said Kazanegra.
She added that the preparations for the international tourist market in Budva – METUBES are in progress, which will be held from the 28th of February to the 2nd of March.
