Blockchain technology has been slowly infiltrating the public sector with national cryptocurrencies on the rise and blockchain verified legal apparatuses. Now the distributed ledger technology permeates out from the courtroom and banks, as a sea-faring blockchain technology is deployed at the Abu Dhabi Ports.
New South Wales plans to record property transactions and port tests to bring a new level of transparency to the trades coming in and out of Abu Dhabi Ports. This should work to improve trade flow and remove outdated pen-and-paper protocols from the shipping industry.
International seaborne freights transporting between Abu Dhabi Ports' subsidiary Maqta Gateway and the Port of Antwerp signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch the blockchain pilot program, Silsal. The pilot will test how involved parties will manage international trade documentation on the blockchain-based ledger. The goods traded between Belgium and Abu Dhabi will be tracked via Silsal platform to bolster the chain-of-custody.
Abu Dhabi Ports manage 11 major ports across two separate countries. Mohamed Juma Al, CEO, believes that Silsal platform will usher in "fast, reliable, and secure," transport and deliver improved services. Seaborne freights aren't the only early blockchain adopters, mega shipping companies like FedEx have their own plans to track deliverables.
In early October, one of the bigger ports in Spain rolled out plans to integrate blockchain to construct a "smart port" on the coastal city of Valencia. The U.K.'s major port operator Associated British Ports is also working to get their logistics on-chain to reduce costs and automate processes via smart contracts.
It is expected that blockchain will help to save millions, if not billions, across the shipping vertical and create a more streamlined protocol for back-office operations and physical shipping freight logistics from manufacturer to end-user. Traceability to crucial for high-functioning global resource distribution and the blockchain makes this data secure, immutability, and updated in real-time.

On "I Dream of Jeannie," what was Jennie's sister's name?
On "The Flintstones," what did Barney Rubble do for a living?
What's the longest running series in history?
The longest-running show in primetime TV is "The Simpsons" which began in 1989 and is still going strong. That is 28 uninterrupted years. In terms of the longest-running live-action show though that title is currently shared between was the western "Gunsmoke," which began on the air in 1955 and didn't sign off until 1975, and the original "Law & Order" that also ran for two decades, 1990 to 2010. At the rate the "Law & Order" spin-off "Law & Order: SVU" is going, it might overtake its parent, however; "SVU" is currently in its 18th season.
What's the shortest running show in TV history?
"Turn On's" is an extreme case but it was not the first show to have its first show be its last show.
On "Get Smart," what was Agent 99's real name?
Though in one episode, she says her name is "Susan Hilton," 99 (Barbara Feldon) later states that that was just an alias for that particular mission.
The producers of the series went to great lengths to keep 99 nameless. When she married Max late in the series' run, the part of 99's vows where she states her name was drowned out by someone's snorting and coughing. When 99's mother visited, she always referred to her daughter only as "dear," "darling" or something term of endearment, never by her name.
What is the story behind the famous three-note chimes sound used by NBC?
Who were the first couple to be seen sharing a bed on TV?
And, actually, though they were usually seen in twin beds, from time to time Lucy and Ricky were seen in the same bed in some episodes of "I Love Lucy."
As far as TV characters regularly being seen sharing the same bed, that honor probably belongs to Herman and Lily Munster of "The Munsters" which began in 1964. Perhaps the cartoon-ish nature of that program alleviated any moral concern on the part of network censors.
And a few things you might never have wondered about but are still kinda interesting….
Did you ever notice that all of the Muppets are left-handed?
ABC news and their news shows like "20/20" always have a heavy blue color scheme. Is there a reason for this?
In 1941, stating that the ownership of two broadcasting systems could be considered a monopoly, the FCC forced NBC to sell off one of its two networks. Since the company's red network was larger and more successful, they of course chose to hang onto that one and sell of the "blue." The Blue Network eventually became the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) and in homage to their origins, the general color scheme of the network has remained blue.
Why is NBC's logo a peacock?
The original bird graphic was, of course, multi-colored and had eleven feathers. The logo was first animated by the network in 1957. Over the years, the peacock's look has continued to change and evolve, usually simplified. The logo that is used today was introduced in 1986 and has six feathers which—at the time—represented the six divisions of the NBC network.

Have you ever moved 12.5 million units of anything? Music? Dollars? Grains of rice? Almost certainly not. Would you agree that this is a lot? If you were to move this many units in music, it would be a good success, right?
Well, apparently, if you're the music business, moving an extra 12.5 million units is a sign that the business is all but over. Huh? Say whut? The reason is because that 12.5 million units was in digital downloads and was representative of a 1% increase from 2009 to 2010. Everyone from Forrester Research to Reuters to local PBS stations has been sounding the death knell for the format. When looked at against 13% and 28% increases the previous years, there is indeed reason to be concerned about growth opportunities in the format. But let's be honest, when you get to 1.1 BILLION transactions of anything (including downloads), the curve for large percentage increases becomes very difficult.
But something funny happened on the way to the download's death bed. It grew. So far this year, digital downloads have increased 4% and added nearly 5 million downloads to last year's total over 5 weeks. Adding a million units a week in a notoriously slow sales period isn't easy. So what is actually going on?
Quite simply, there are more hits and those hits are getting bigger. The Top 20 digital downloads have an average sales increase of 11%, nearly triple the overall rate. By this point last year, there were 10 songs that had sold "gold", but this year there are 14. As hits keep getting bigger, this also means the "middle class" will keep getting squeezed. Even with an overall 4% increase, the #200 selling song of 2011 is down 7% from the #200 selling song of 2010.
I would contend that the Paradox Of Choice is likely coming into play. With so many more releases to choose from, people are relying more on guidance to choose what to listen to and buy. In iTunes case, this means focusing on the Top 10 charts and the promoted items. Since the featured content for music has diminished in favor of highlighting movies, TV shows and apps, more focus and sales will be given to fewer hits resulting in higher concentration at the top. Oddly, featuring fewer choices is quite probably driving bigger sales.
This will create an interesting problem for the music business in the years ahead. If hits sell more and become more profitable, then spending money to make them hits makes more sense. On the other hand, that increased competition will inevitably result in some "surefire hits" failing because of the added titles. The movie business is going to be facing that exact problem with their blockbusters this summer.
All is not lost for the middle class of artists, though. While they may have struggles making as much from digital download sales, the revenue will be more than made up by diversifying amongst the multiple potential revenue streams in the years ahead. I've made some great new charts that focus on this that I will be debuting in Movement #1 next Tuesday at the New Music Seminar in Los Angeles. Make sure to get there early. If you haven't registered, there's still time!

Getting an "Unpaid Bill" report
In the Accounting module under Supplier Invoices and Customer Invoices, it is possible to get Unpaid Bills by performing a search. Can this same task be achieved through Odoo reporting?
@Mudi Vand,
what are the other possible report categories we can add to dash board ( i.e. Profit and loss , Balance Sheet etc. ) and how?
All the filtered views can be added to the dashboard as in the above example. But, I am not sure about printable reports such as P&L and Balance Sheet. Sorry about that. Only way I can think of is that doing it through menu items and views in technical settings (Settings -> Technical) or by developing a new custom module. But I have not tried those alternatives yet.
This platform is for beginners and experts willing to share their Odoo knowledge. It's not a forum to discuss ideas, but a knowledge base of questions and their answers.Register

The band's concert at St George's Hall in Liverpool on Saturday 16th April in aid of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity was out of this world!
Musical director Paul Andrews was on top form as he wowed the audience with a variety of numbers, including "Force of Destiny", "Les Miserables" and "Liverpool Fanfare", which was specially composed for the event by the band's new resident composer, Adam Taylor.
Given the location of the concert, there were some Beatles numbers included, and as a mark of respect to the victims of Hillsborough, the band also played "You'll never walk alone ", in a deeply thought-provoking finale.
Our guest soloist for the evening, David Thornton (principal euphonium at Fodens Band), impressed both the band and the audience with his virtuosic renditions of several pieces including "Czardas" and "In Christ Alone", and played a beautiful duet with the band's principal euphonium player, Chris Robertson, who is a student at the prestigious RNCM.
The concert closed with Sinatra's "My Way" to a standing ovation from all the audience…I think Wingates Band have made some new friends in Liverpool!
The band raised in the region of £1400 for the charity, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the process!

Budgeting In The Cloud
There is a good article published today on thought leadership site The IT Insider - "Budgeting in the Cloud". They have really hit the key points, very succinctly, on why organisations are making such a meal of the planning process.
They asked me about the demand for cloud solutions, and this is indeed something that is coming up more and more often.
Read the article here: https://www.theitinsider.co.uk/articles/2016/budgeting-in-the-cloud/
Ultimately of course, whether a solution is based on-premises or in the cloud, the decision on software must be to find the best fit to functional requirements. It is here that IBM's cloud based Planning Analytics, with TM1 at its core, is such a strong solution. And for public sector and not-for-profit bodies, Planning Analytics is now really easy to procure as InfoCat is now offering the service through G-Cloud on the UK government's Digital MarketPlace, by-passing the need for formal tender processes.

JANSSEN, Hermina 1896-1964
Posted By: Tammy (email)

Mrs. Janssen Dies In Hospital Friday
Funeral services for Mrs. Hermina Janssen, 68, were held at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the home and at 1:30 p.m. at St. Peter's United Church of Christ with the Rev. John Schortinguis officiating.
Burial was in the church cemetery.
Special music for the service consisted of a duet by Marilyn Eilderts and Frederick Vanderwerf. Mrs. Vanderwerf was organist.
Casket bearers were George W. Boelman, George C. Boelman, Raymond Boelman, Folkert Boelman, Carl Boelman and Harm Kuper. Flower attendants were Mrs. John G. Abbas and Mrs. Henry Hippen.
We have gathered to honor the memory of Mrs. Hermina Janssen, who was called home Friday, Oct. 2, 1964 around 6:30 p.m. at the Grundy County Memorial hospital.

On February 2, 1919 she was married to Henry C. Janssen in the St. Peter's United Church of Christ by the Rev. H. E. Mueller. This marriage was blessed with 6 children. After their marriage they lived on a farm in Franklin County, and in 1929 moved to Pleasant Valley township. In 1936 they moved to Grundy Center where they lived for one year, after which they moved to a farm place in German township near Ackley. After the death of her husband she moved to Wellsburg in the year 1951.
Hermina Janssen was baptized in the St. Peter's United Church of Christ on April 24, 1898. She was a long time member of this church, and Women's Guild.
Mrs. Janssen was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Henry C. Janssen on December 22, 1950, a son, George Louie on April 7, 1941, one grandson, Michael Boekhoff in 1954, and 4 brothers.
She is survived by 3 sons and 2 daughters: Chris Janssen of Prescott, Arizona; (Tillie) Mrs. Sam Boekhoff of Wellsburg; Louis Janssen of Wellsburg; Harley Janssen of Wellsburg; (Dorothy) Mrs. Cletus Jamison of Cedar Falls; 10 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; 4 sisters and 2 brothers; Mrs. Fannie Boelman of Ackley, Mrs. Minnie Boelman of Aplington; (Tillie) Mrs. Edd Finger of Aplington; (Gertie) Mrs. Folkert Kuper of Ackley; George W.

PSP2 "coming soon," according to IGN
IGN's rumouring that a second PSP, replete with multi-touchscreens, will be with us sooner rather than later.
From the piece:
IGN has learned from several credible sources that the PSP 2 is indeed on the horizon, and will be packing multi-touch technology. According to our sources, the PSP 2 will feature a widescreen multi-touch interface comparable to that of the iPhone for both in-game control and menu navigation.
Talk's gathering pace on this. Eurogamer ran a piece in December saying a new PSP unit, described by the site as "PSP-4000," would release in 2009.
Sony promptly flattened the chat. Just make sure it's a phone as well, please, Sony.

How Big Is A Corner?
Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; Where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people and your God my God… Ruth 1:16
And with these words Ruth commits herself to her mother-in-law as they travel, poor and destitute to Bethlehem, leaving the loss, sorrow and misery they experienced in Moab behind. Naomi is bitter but her young former daughter-in-law is determined. And finally Naomi gives up trying to send Ruth away and they travel together to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is Naomi's former home, the home where Naomi grew up, where her family lives, where she has old friends. But for Ruth, Bethlehem is a foreign place in a foreign country. Bethlehem is even a potentially hostile place for Ruth, after all Israelites and Moabites don't like each other very much and the Old Testament recounts much animosity and violence between them. Nevertheless Ruth is committed to Naomi and she is resolved.
But after arriving the first order of business is something basic – food. These widows have nothing, even in Naomi's ancestral home they are still poor and hungry. But it so happens that the law of Moses makes provision for widows such as Ruth and Naomi. Farmers were expected to leave the edges and corners of their fields unharvested so that the poor could come into the fields and glean whatever they could find of what was left over, missed or fallen. (Find this in Leviticus19:9-10 or Deuteronomy 24:19-22). The problem was that there was no authority who would check up on these landowners – they were expected to perform this duty on their honor. So some farmers were very generous in defining how big a corner should be and how wide to designate as the edges; and others defined it as narrowly as possible and went out of their way to discourage gleaners. Not only that but the environment for gleaners was very harsh. Not only was the work itself backbreaking and physically demanding, but the experience of dealing with the other gleaners could be very difficult. The strongest, the most aggressive would be the ones who collected the most grain. Gleaners would push and jostle for position; they would intimidate others as well. There would be violence at times and an unattached young woman would have been especially vulnerable to harassment and assault. But the word has gotten out that one landowner, Boaz, is a particularly devout and generous man. He is gracious and allows the gleaners to have more than they can get at other fields. Not only that but he seems to take issues of honor and safety seriously and as a part of his own responsibility and he specifically instructs his foreman to make sure this one vulnerable young woman in particular is treated honorably and fairly.
So Ruth gleans and is successful. She also is not shy. She actually goes to Boaz and makes an outrageous request: she asks to be allowed to go where gleaners are never permitted to go – to work besides the field hands! In other words she asks to be allowed to collect grain right out of the field itself. What nerve! Gleaners always came last and they were usually only permitted into the fields once the hired workers were done. Gleaners always got the leftovers! But Ruth asks for more, Ruth asks to be allowed to take of the first fruits! And she does this, not for herself – but for her mother-in-law Naomi! And Boaz agrees! Boaz gives of his first fruits to a poor widow women who he does not know! And why? Out of a sense of responsibility. And not only that but he does it cheerfully!
There is a lot going on in the story on a whole of levels, but I want to focus on this particular point today: Boaz gives of his first fruits – he defines a corner as large as possible – he does not give his leftovers! On this weekend when we focus on our own giving, Boaz becomes a model for us. How often do we simply give to God and the work of Christ's church the leftovers in terms of both money and time? I am going here, I have this activity and that, but I have a little tiny bit of time on….. (you can fill in the rest). Or - I like to spend my money on this activity and that gadget and those things, and I have this little bit left over, so I'll put that in my envelope. Are we guilty of that? Yes, we all are.
God calls for us to follow the model of Boaz and give of our first fruits – which means 10% right off the top; God calls for us to define the corners of our lives much broader than we might be inclined and to put participating and contributing to the ministry of Christ as a high priority. The Gospel in this wonderful story of Ruth for this day is a challenge to us to give back to God out of our abundance, willingly and gratefully – both in terms of time and financial support. Recognizing that the gifts that God has given to us cannot even be defines, and in gratitude for this we give back willingly and gratefully.And so, this is the challenge of our text today: how big as a corner?

Hope is a valuable commodity in itself. Add some financial aid to that a you can have real change!!
It is all too easy to get lost in frustration and despair in the war for rhinos. Each life means so much, and each death weighs heavy in the heart, BUT each victory is just as significant.
My gift to all of you this holiday season: HOPE.
There is reason to believe we can bring the rhino back from the threat of extinction. We can stabilize the population, control the poaching.
#1-Thanks to programs that transform poachers to rangers like what AfricanParks has done in the Congo, minds are changing. (see: Second Chances: Success in the Congo)
#2-Community incentives that give people a reason to be invested in their own wildlife and rewarded for that investment, like in Zimbabwe (see: Zimbabwe Leads the Way)
#3-Zoos have a new role in conservation, through in-depth scientific analysis (of rhino dung) they have learned more successful methods of breeding rhinos including…

The Center for Applied Plant Sciences aims to build a community where researchers interested in advancing science through the development of robust Broader Impacts (BI) come together to ideate and collaborate. To that end, CAPS is pleased to provide its members with support for BI development and engagement.
Broader Impacts Brainstorming
This opportunity is meant to serve as an informal brainstorming session designed to support individuals who are currently writing a proposal with the development of their BI activities. Come prepared to share a summary of your project and the BI activities you are considering. Through constructive feedback, suggestions for partnerships, idea sharing and open discussions participants will gain insight that will help them refine their BI plans.
This is a new opportunity that will be tailored to meet the needs of the participants. To start, BI Brainstorming will take place quarterly in January, April, July and October. The group will meet from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in 102 Rightmire Hall, with the option to video link to the OARDC campus. Each session will open with a short presentation focused on one aspect of BI and/or proposal development, such as building community partnerships, evaluation, etc. Attendees are invited to bring their lunch for this informal, yet informative working meeting. Specific dates for each brainstorming session will be announced via the CAPS listserv.
Community & School Outreach Programs
The Center for Applied Plant Sciences, together with the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center, participates in a variety of outreach programs each year. From classroom visits, to field trips, to events on campus and at community organizations like COSI – CAPS and ABRC reach thousands of people of all ages each year. Build your BI portfolio by getting involved with our outreach initiatives.
There are multiple opportunities for faculty, postdocs, staff and graduate students to get involved. Hands-on activities are planned and prepared by the CAPS Education & Outreach Specialist, so all you need to do is show up and talk science! For researchers who are interested in focusing on their specific field of expertise, opportunities to brainstorm, develop and showcase new activities are available.

School staff have identified 41 students to apply for one of 30 spots in the rigorous program, which will meet twice a week before school for six weeks, Assistant Superintendent Richard Schwarzman told the Elizabethtown school board at their meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22.
The Elizabethtown Area School District's role is identifying students, regardless of academic ability, who could benefit from the program, which will be funded by the Elizabethtown Area Communities That Care organization, said Schwarzman, who oversees support services and compliance. The goal, he noted, is to help students believe in themselves and realize that anything is possible.
The program, to be launched Feb. 3 with a brunch for the students and their families, will start that week, with meetings at 5:30 a.m. at Emanuel Baptist
Church, located across East High Street from the district campus. The program will be offered just in the spring, Schwarzman said.
Schwarzman said the impetus for starting the program here began with data from the 2015 Pennsylvania Youth Survey, which measures at-risk behaviors, indicating that many students felt a sense of disconnectedness. (The 2017 survey showed a similar trend.)
In 2016, at the EACTC Turn Around recognition breakfast, administrators met Jordan Steffy, who runs the Lancaster- based Attollo program, founded by the Children Deserve a Chance Foundation. (Attollo means "Rise Up" in Latin.)
According to the program's website, the Attollo Recruit program is centered around six core "pillars": strong mind, competition, resiliency, accountability, sacrifice and finish strong. A key component is learning how to solve the Rubik's Cube in less than a minute and a half.
"Once you can solve the Rubik's Cube, you can pretty much do anything you want to do," Schwarzman said.
In a follow-up from the December board meeting, where the possibility of getting a therapy dog was discussed, Schwarzman reported that a trial run took place last week, when a KPETS dog visit was held during finals exams.
Schwarzman said that a high percentage of students informally surveyed felt the dog relieved stress (97 percent) and believed a permanent therapy dog would be beneficial (98 percent). Another dog visit will be held during mental health screenings for 11th-grader students in February. A proposal for a therapy dog program will be presented at the March workshop meeting, he said.
In other business, two high school faculty members gave presentations on how the district's educational vision is carried out in the classroom. Art teacher Kevin Goss presented a video on opportunities offered by the family consumer sciences and arts programs. Science teacher Nichole Wilkinson discussed methods that more fully engage students, such as collaboration and use of technology.

I grew up about an hour from the beach in Southern California. Unless you know you are going to the beach, it feels more like you are stuck in traffic. A lot of traffic. And smog.
But then you turn a corner and there it is- the sand, the waves, the beach.
You don't know what is around the corner.
Sometimes, you can't even guess.
Keep going.
There is more to see.
God has so much to show you.
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. (Psalm 65:8 NIV)

Even in the event you don't keep that region of your home office spotless all the time, you need to have a way of cleaning this up quickly.

Regardless of the name, the procedure is the same. The therapy contains by using a fine tattoo needle that is the identical configuration as being a hair follicle to implant pigment in the scalp.

MANILA, Philippines – There is one thing that will strike you when you watch Adolf Alix Jr.'s Whistleblower.
The story is over familiar and so are the characters.
But in the film's closing credits, we are reminded that the characters in the film are fictional.
In this one-hour-fifteen-minute film, the shift of character turns to Nora Aunor as the financial consultant of the scam queen played by Cherry Pie Picache.
The reporter (played superbly by Angelica Panganiban) is an objective witness but is soon shocked that her concern might cost her her own life.
Meanwhile, the NGO employees caught in the crossfire of controversy are scared as hell as they are being led from the comfort of their homes to the NBI protective custody called the safehouse.
Scriptwriter Rody Vera gives us an idea how these small people cope with scenes of the mother (Nora) calling her son (Carlo Aquino) to stay put and not to worry.
But the characters playing employees of the fake NGOs know that they are being made into virtual pawns by the powerful men who helped set up this scam. They know the truth but in the process of saving their families' lives, the truth has to be selective, names of powerful people should be deleted from their collective memories and so on.
Midway into the movie, you see one of the main protagonists, the reporter (Angelica) who got to interview the scam queen with an urgent favor asked. But she, too, is put into a bind and suspects that her editor is recipient of a lucrative pay-off.
Nora with Cherry Pie Picache in a scene from Whistleblower
Angelica has her good moments in this film and she connects admirably with the plight of the character of Nora.
As it is, the movie gives us a good portrait of the scam queen (Cherry Pie) as human being. The children are spoiled, she has a philandering husband and her employees are virtual slaves reduced to to the regular routine of withdrawing millions from the master's fat bank accounts. One character says that in the past when her income was just modest, she was generous to a fault. But when the millions started coming, she held on to her money as though her life depended on it. As the story went, she could only afford a salary increase of P200 for employees withdrawing millions from her bank account.
In the senate hearings and in the closed-door meetings, you could see evil in the soul of the public servants played incredibly well by Laurice Guillen and Ricky Davao.
As it is, this is a star-studded movie. All character actors of consequence are in this film from Anita Linda to Vangie Labalan, Liza Lorena, Art Acuña, Sharmaine Arnaiz, Ina Feleo, Vangie Labalan, Dennis Marasigan, Bernardo Bernardo and Carlo Aquino, among others.
Alas, after a glimpse of the characters and what their families are going through, the film is over at one hour and 15 minutes. After watching the eight-hour Lav Diaz film, this regular feature film looked like an entry in the short film category.
What one can say is that after the MRT and NAIA 3 debacle, the Bangladesh bank heist and the perennial traffic, Whistleblower only managed to give us another nauseating slice of the rotten political system in the country.
The characters in the film are deemed fictional but the highlights looked like another news sequence from ABS-CBN's TV Patrol and GMA News TV's State of the Nation.
But after all the exposés and a litany of small lives coping with big-time power-brokers, you end up yearning for something substantial to wrap up your encounter with the ultimate scam queen and her helpless allies.
Cherry Pie carved a hateful but vulnerable portrait of the scam queen; one's eyes were on Laurice as her face twitched wickedly to reveal a scheming character.
Indeed, one reason you should see this film is the topnotch acting of Nora, Cherry Pie, Angelica, Ricky and Bernardo Bernardo, among others.
True enough, the painful truth Whistleblower says about our public servants is horrible enough to make you skip the coming elections.
There is utter hopelessness in this film as it ends with the news reporter (Angelica) crying out in disgust for the subject she thought she could help but couldn't.
The film reveals a lot that we already know from just reading the newspapers and following the evening news on television.
One expected some kind of catharsis or illumination to follow after being numbed to death by these shocking man-made scams.
But none came and here we are almost given the go-signal to ignore the coming elections as they are most likely another instrument with which future scams will follow.
The film has its share of shock value but it doesn't guide us how to right the obvious wrong.
We are told that this government sucks and it will most likely continue to be such after the elections.
Rightly or wrongly, Adolf's film is an indictment of our democratic processes.
Sadly, it doesn't give us a glimpse of any hope for the future.
Whistleblower is now showing in cinemas.

What is facetime?
Facetime is an application where you can video call with your friends or your families. This app is developed for the Ios platform so that they can facetime or video call anytime and anywhere they want. The face is the abbreviation of the word that it means that during your video call, you can work or see your loved ones on the other part of your mobile phone. There are times when you will get the issue of facetime not working, and this means that there are some bugs on your phone or on your ios device which can be solved in legal ways.
How to use it?
Facetime is a similar app like the video call applications you have for your phone. This means that this app has features identical to Google Hangout. You have to ring someone or the person's contact name and then only you can have it worked out. There are issues and problems like facetime not working which can happen when a big appears for your phone, but it can be solved as quickly as that. Facetime is like an application which manages your video call in every situation and with even the lowest of internet connectivity in your phone.
Why is this problem caused?
There are some issues and problems which can happen to Apple Facetime. The question which appears on your ios device goes by the message of facetime not working. Reported bugs have said to work during the video call that you make, and this is when facetime goes down — wondering if you are offline or online? Well, a lot of users have reportedly found a problem during the usage of facetime, and this is not the first time which has happened to them. Facetime is said to crash a lot, and this is because when your phone gets heated, it shuts off automatically the application which is running in the background.
How to solve it?
To fix the issue of Facetime not working, you need to do the following things.
- Go to the Wi-Fi Settings and then see if your connection is stable or not.
- Most of the time, internet connectivity can cause a downfall in the usage of facetime.
- Look for the allowance of your mobile data. This means that if you exceed your mobile data, then it can cause a problem for face timing.
- And the last thing to do is delete all the caches from your Apple phone. If you don't then your crash will start crashing down a lot.
What to do if it happens again?
There are a lot of ways through which the facetime is not working can be solved, and these are just the basics. If your facetime still starts to crash more and more, you have to take your phone to the market and get it fixed because there must be heated usage of your phone's power back up or battery damage. All the points given above are said to solve the problem but if it still happens, check for your connectivity or your usage of mobile data.

Good question.
I'm going to try to control my lollipop/sweets habit next year, because if I don't, soon my teeth are going to be broken stumps.
Try to keep my place neater and be more organized.
In the new year I will not worry about what others may think of me and live life to the fullest possible.
On another note, is it a prerequisite for females to be absolutely gorgeous to become a SCI or does it just seem to occur like that? Hotties everywhere around this place.
To not get overwhelmed with new years resolutions. They are not healthy.
To get involved in more social activities, to become an advocate for outdoor activities for the disabled (specially Wheelchair users). Well, they are not resolutions they are goals.

Passover is just days away and, as is the case every year, my phone is ringing with people asking for "new" recipes. I decided to do some research, this year. Why do we always eat the same things? Why are the "laws" so different for Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews? Do we really want "new" recipes or is there comfort in the familiar? When I was growing up, we only served Manischewitz Concord Grape wine and the kids drank it too. As a matter of fact, we looked forward to Passover and the opportunity to get a little drunk on sweet wine and say the word "ass" over and over again. It seemed to be a right of passage. Of course we ate the same menu every year. Now kids get grape juice and modern hagadot use different language. The answer to the difference between Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews Passover diet is easy yet complicated. To oversimplify it greatly, it's all about stubbornness.
Originally, the prohibition against leavened food only applied to "the five species of grain". This includes wheat, rye, barley, oats and spelt. Since other grains don't rise (rice, millet, beans and lentils) no matter what or how it is kneaded and manipulated, they were allowed.
Fast forward a couple of centuries and the subject came up again in the Mishneh and Talmud. Somehow, the Mishnah in the 3rd century says its okay and the Talmud of the 5th century says no dice. Later law codes of the Ashkenazim hold a "stringent" line and don't eat from any species of grain and the Sephardim who usually follow Maimonides only abstain from the original five species of grain. I was raised Ashkenazi but find the Sephardic way, much easier to follow.
As for the menu, as I read through website after website looking at menus, it seemed most followed the same pattern. You must have matzo ball soup, gefilte fish, brisket, some sort of vegetable dish, some sort of potato dish and dessert. Jews have a long history as nomads. Consider the term "wandering Jew". As a result, "our" food history is one of adaptation. Each time the Jews had to move to stay alive, they would take the recipes and traditions they had and convert them to work with the local food availability and the new culture they were in. Because they were forced to move around, and often didn't have a lot of money to start with, they looked for inexpensive foods items and preparations that would stretch the uses and make less palatable ingredients, taste better. Brisket started out as an inexpensive cut of meat. We got a hold of it and now it is a cultural icon. Nobody would accuse chicken livers of being designer, but we took it and made chopped liver another iconic preparation. I would like to propose that this year when you are thinking about being enslaved and then being freed; think about your menus, your recipes and your traditions. Free yourself. Take the menus and recipes that have been handed down to you and make them your own. Judy Zeidler published The Gourmet Jewish Cookbook in 1999. While there are a lot of "gourmet" Jewish cookbooks and even some specific for Passover, this is still my favorite. Judy gives you several Passover menus and recipes from all over the world. Before I give you a few recipes to try, I'd like to offer up one more tradition on the newer side. Place an orange on your Seder plate to represent Women and in recognition of the LGBT community, widows, orphans, Jews who are adopted and anybody that may have felt marginalized by the Jewish community. Susan Heschel started this tradition in the late 1980's. At an early point in the Seder she would ask each participant to take a segment of the orange, say the blessing over fruit and then eat the segment. If you come across a seed, spit it out as if to cast out any discrimination. The orange is there to remind us that we are all part of a whole and that each segment sticks together. I will post pictures to my instagram, Facebook and twitter pages. Chag Sameach!
Whitefish Quenelles
- 6 cups store bought fish or veggie stock
- 1 bottle dry, white wine
- 1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/4 lbs. pike fillets, skinned, cut into medium pieces
- 1 1/4 lbs. whitefish fillets, skinned, cut into medium pieces
- 1 1/4 lbs. carp fillets, skinned, cut into medium pieces
- 2 eggs, plus 2 additional whites
- 3 Tablespoons matzo meal
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons super fine sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- a couple of passes of fresh nutmeg on the grater
- 1/2 cup ice water
For the Quenelles: Pulse the onion in a food processor until finely chopped. Add half of all the fish and process until smooth. Scrape down sides as needed. Transfer to a large bowl and puree the other half of the fish. Then return the first portion and pulse to incorporate all flavors together. With the food processor running, add eggs and egg whites; process until just combined. Pour this mixture into a large bowl and stir in matzo meal, salt, sugar, lemon juice, pepper and nutmeg. Add the ice water, slowly, stirring until all in. Press through a large, fine-mesh strainer and refrigerate, 30 minutes. (you can do up to here a day in advance of next step) Bring stock and wine to a gentle boil, in large stockpot. You can add additional herbs for flavoring if you'd like. Try dill or parsley. Using two, wet, tablespoons, shape the quenelles. Use one spoon to get a mound of the fish batter and holding the spoons opposite each other, use the other to shape it. Spoon back & forth a few times to get a smooth surface (they make oval shape ice cream scoops too). Drop each quenelle into stock after forming. Cook until the float. You want to work in small batches at a time. I usually do 8 – 10 at one time. As they float to the surface use a slotted spoon to transfer them to large shallow dish. I like a lasagna glass dish. Strain some stock over quenelles, to keep them moist. Cool, then cover and refrigerate over night. The day you are serving take the quenelles out and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Serve as you would gefilte fish, with horseradish. I like a little drizzle of the stock over the fish. Figure 2-3, per person.
Almond Cake with Mixed Frosted Berries
- 2 ¼ cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- pinch kosher salt
- 1 pound mixed berries
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup fine granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon rosewater (optional)
In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder and salt. Using a hand mixer, in a large bowl beat the eggs, sugar and rosewater, at high speed until thick and very glossy. Fold in the flour mixture and about 2/3 of the berries, (The rest will be garnish). You will want to work in alternating batches, usually three. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch spring-form pan, bottomed lined with parchment paper. Bake at 325, until toothpick comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Let cook for 10 minutes, unmold and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar For garnish berries: Whisk together 1/3 cup egg whites with 1/8 of a teaspoon fresh lemon juice, until frothy. Toss, gently, the berries in the egg whites and then strain the egg whites off and lay the berries on paper towels to absorb excess egg whites. Do not let them dry. Working quickly but in batches, toss the berries lightly in 2 cups of superfine sugar. Shake off excess and mound in center of cake. Serve immediately.
Passover Chocolate Caramel Torte
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Mrs. Richardson's caramel sauce
Place 1 cup of chocolate chips and butter in a glass or ceramic bowl. Heat in microwave 30 minutes at a time until butter is melted and chips are all but melted. Stir to completely melt the chips. Stir in salt, espresso and vanilla. With a handled mixer, beat n eggs, one at a time, until just smooth. Add the cocoa powder until just combined. Pour batter into a greased tart pan with removable bottom. I line my pan bottom with parchment paper. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes Cool in pan for 5 minutes then lift out onto serving plate and cool completely. For the next step, heat the cream in a saucepan until it is just simmering. Meanwhile put the other cup of chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl. When cream is simmering, pour it over the chocolate and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Stir until smooth and thoroughly melted. Pour chocolate sauce over the cake and allow to set. Warm the caramel slightly, in microwave. Spoon the caramel over the top of the ganache. Some of the ganache may melt into the caramel, that's fine. Serve at room temperature.
1 Comment on Passover, new traditions and old answers!
So I was the LUCKY recipient of the 2 deserts above, baked for my daughter's birthday/1st night of Seder and I have got to say that these were 2 of the BEST deserts I have ever had (& I Love deserts so I am well versed here!). I can not believe they were for Pesach and still amazing. The chocolate caramel cake is melt in your mouth fabulous! And the almond cake has a fantastic flavor, I am still enjoying both of these a few days later. I HIGHLY reccomend either or both!

brock did great in surgery. they found two places that were bleeding and cauterized them. they also took some fluid from his sinus cavity to send for culture.
we're still waiting on the official results of the ct scan but the resident that i talked to this morning said that his lung and abdomen looked about the same as the last scan.
so now the two most pressing concerns are getting him to gain weight and figuring out why he's doing this head-tilting thing. we're going to consult with GI about the weight issue and i'm not sure what they've decided about the the eye/brain/head-tilt thing. i'm still waiting to talk to the doctor today.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that President Vladimir Putin had agreed to a proposal by German Chancellor Angela Merkel for German experts to monitor the Kerch Strait near Crimea.
Lavrov said Putin had agreed to the request a month ago, but that the Germans had still not arrived.
In November, Russia detained three Ukrainian navy vessels and their crews in the Black Sea near the Kerch Strait, fuelling tensions between the two countries.
Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.

When people think of tonsillitis, they imagine a child with a red, inflamed throat. In severe cases of tonsillitis, people tend to imagine a child with glands so badly swollen that they will need to have their tonsils removed. The fact of the matter is that while tonsillitis does involve swollen glands, it does not affect children exclusively and surgery is not always the most effective treatment. In fact, the best treatment for any tonsil infection is the prevention of the infection occurring. This article will provide information on different prevention methods to assure you do not experience tonsillitis.
What Is Tonsillitis?
Acute tonsillitis involves the tissues of the tonsils becoming infected with harmful bacteria and swelling as a result of poor oral health. The tonsils are two small, oval-shaped glands located in the back of a person's throat and their purpose is to block bacteria from entering the body via the mouth. This is why removal of the tonsils should be a last resort as the surgeon will be removing a gland that protects the body from bacteria.
Tonsil infections are typically bacterial in nature and the majority of these cases are caused by a virus known as streptococcus pyogenes. The most common treatment for these infections and sore throats is medication, including penicillin. Unfortunately, this treatment is not always effective as a long-term cure; moreover, it presents with side effects to people who are allergic to penicillin. As is mentioned, the most effective method to treat tonsillitis is the prevention of tonsil infections.
Other Infections
Tonsillitis isn't the only tonsil infection that causes many people trouble. Tonsil stones are also a very stressing infection, for example. Most people get their symptoms confused so good to be aware of both.
Maintaining good oral health, drinking enough water and gargling apple cider vinegar are good ways for removing throat stones for good. If you want to learn more on a daily basis then I recommend you check out the Get Rid of Tonsil Stones Facebook Page.
What Are The Different Symptoms Of Tonsillitis?
While the most common symptoms of tonsillitis include inflamed tonsils and a sore throat, there are other signs that point to a tonsil infection. The other symptoms include the following:
• Problems swallowing
• Redness around the throat and tonsils
• Yellow or white coating on the tonsil glands
• Tender lymph nodes on the side of the neck and throat
• Painful ulcers or blisters on the throat
• Pain when talking or loss of speaking voice
• Pain in the neck and in the ears
• Vomiting or nausea
• Loss of appetite
• Bad breath
• Headaches
• Chills or fevers
What Are The Different Ways To Prevent A Tonsil Infection?
1. Good Personal Hygiene
Good personal hygiene is potentially the most significant factor to ensure that you are and remain healthy. For example, you should always wash your hands before eating, after using the toilet, or after coughing. Washing your hands regularly and covering your mouth when sneezing or coughing (or when another individual is sneezing or coughing in your personal space) are methods of remaining clean.
2. Avoiding Cold Drinks
Believe it or not, a person's throat is more prone to infections when drinking cold beverages. To prevent any tonsil infections, it is recommended that you avoid drinking too many cold beverages during the day. If you are thirsty during a warm day, you should try drinking a cool beverage that is not too cold. Furthermore, you should wait until your body is relaxed and you are not perspiring as drinking while perspiring is not beneficial for the body.
3. Drinking Herbal Tea
A highly effective method of preventing tonsil infection is to drink herbal tea daily. Herbal teas can eliminate bacteria in the throat and can aid the immune system in cleansing the body. Ideally, you should drink cinnamon or green tea to purify your body. It is also recommended that you drink chamomile tea at night to help you sleep.
4. Cleaning the House
In addition to keeping good personal hygiene, it is essential that you maintain a clean living area. This means that you should wash your bedding and clear the house of dust regularly. By removing dirt, you will prevent germs from settling in the home and causing infections.
