As wine is now one of the most popular alcoholic drinks, demand has risen for professionals who serve wine properly. Understanding correct serving practices and demonstrating detailed knowledge of the different types of wine is important if you want to deliver a high standard of service to your customers. The Introduction to Wine Course will provide you with the skills to serve wine properly, show you how to taste wine and teach you what wines compliment specific foods.
Course Content
Our Introduction to Wine Course is broken down into 3 easy to follow modules: -
The Wine Production Process - In this section of the course you will learn about the entire winemaking process – from planting the grape vines all the way through to bottling the wine.
Grape Varietals - The type of grapes that are used to produce wine will have a significant impact on how it tastes and looks. Here you will learn about the most common grape varietals, and the wines that they produce.
Serving Wine - Now that you have a background understanding of wine and how it is made, we will show you what to look for in a wine tasting, how to serve wine correctly and which wines to pair with various menu items.
This course is presented in easy to follow units, with Test Your Knowledge sections that allow you to check your understanding. At the end of the course you will need to complete and pass a multiple-choice assessment to obtain your certificate.
Duration and Time Limit
The course can be completed in approximately 1 – 2 hours, although there is no time limit and you can do the course at your own pace.
After finishing the course and successful completion of the final assessment you can download a PDF certificate, which is fully accredited by the Institute of Hospitality and CPD Approved.

While doing some shopping this weekend I saw a beautiful 4-shaft diamond twill throw at a Big Box Store. My first thought was that I could weave a similar throw on my 22-inch 8-shaft loom thanks to the magic of doublewidth doubleweave, but then I had second thoughts because I have a jack loom. I know jack looms aren't the best looms for weaving thick pieces, and I'd imagine weaving a doubleweave throw on one might be problematic, although not impossible. While I'm sure I can weave the throw on my loom, I'm not sure what sorts of problems I might encounter. What tips or advice do you have for somebody attempting to weave a moderately thick piece of doublewidth doubleweave on a smallish jack loom? (Well, besides getting a bigger loom or a countermarche loom.) Is it worth trying? Thanks! Miranda
Hi Miranda!
I'm thinking you are concerned that the warp will be so dense that the weight of the shafts will not be enough to keep the threads down that are not being raised; i.e., friction among the closely sett threads won't allow them to separate from the threads that are being raised. There are several variables involved: the density of the warp threads (the particular sett), the fiber content (from slippery as in pearl cottons to sticky as in lofty wools), and the shaft weight (which depends on the particular jack loom you are using).
I have woven many doubleweave pieces on my Baby Wolf looms (some full width at 25") without difficulty, usually using 10/2 pearl cotton at 48 ends per inch (24 ends per layer). A sticky wool might present a problem, however. Remember that it is shaft weight that holds the warp threads down, so there would be the option of adding weight to the shafts. If you are weaving full width, you will also lose the weight of unused heddles. Metal heddles are an important factor in giving shafts enough weight to pull the warp threads down.
I would definitely give this a try, however. There are several ways to add weight to shafts (remembering that you will be lifting all that weight when you step on the treadles). Depending on the tie-up needed (for two layers of twill this is not really possible), if you raise the shafts in the up shed one at a time, the threads on individual shafts can be easier to separate than raising them all at once.
I'd go for it!

Eʋe nationalism is a socio-political philosophy and a sovereign state of mind based on the consciousness of unity, oneness and solidarity; a people in possession of common unique characteristics, ancestry, civil codes, varied genealogies and fraternity. It is neither tribalism nor partisanship but pure nationalism.
We are thereby made to observe and uphold the freedoms that our deceased progenitors have won us, aiding the unwritten laws of the province to operate severely on those who habitually infringe upon our sovereignty. The end-goal of Eʋeto is to develop the Volta Province into a show-piece by erecting the model province of the Republic. This requires the finest expertise of Eʋe citizens, dedicated to a renaissance of the province, backed by the popular will of the people.
The case for Eʋeto is the same today as of ancient times — the steady demand of millions of people inhabiting a distinct geographical area of earth, speaking the same basic mother tongue more or less, practising the same general customs, enjoying a common cultural background and association of interests — to peacefully coexist together under one political administration, so they achieve peace, prosperity and progress unhindered, without fetters, strings or provocative encumbrances.
The renaissance of the Volta Province would be in itself revolutionary once the status quo of a substandard quality of life, which the people of the region furiously reject, yet are subconsciously accustomed to, is refined and a nouveau civilisation is built. The humanistic aspirations of the renaissance are for our collective economic independence. It is my sincerest hope that, in 2020, at the threshold of a new reign of such great promise, that the Volta province is transformed by great public servants, dedicated to a higher purpose, and citizens of goodwill the Republic over travel to the province to participate in manifesting this dream.
Eʋe people are slowly but painful learning that there is very little to choose between the two dominant political parties - the National Democratic Congress and New Patriotic Party. We desire freedom and progress. Our people are fast losing confidence in the deliberations of statesmen when, year in year out, they make representations in Parliament and nothing ever happens. They are beginning to think, I hasten to say wrongly, that the current social order holds no plans of development our province.
Partitions of Eʋeland.
The forceful unilateral partitioning of Eʋeland by the 7th Parliament of the 4th Republic, under the administration of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is widely regarded as the greatest injustice against Eʋes. The 2018 Oti Region was carved out of the present Volta Region; Eʋe territory. This has been the 5th partition of Eʋeland.
The 1st partition of Eʋeland (1884-1890) split the Eʋe territory between the Gold Coast and Togoland into two.
The 2nd partition of Eʋeland (1914-1918) occurred when German Togoland was conquered; western Togoland, including Lomé, went to Britain and eastern Togoland went to France.
The 3rd partition of Eʋeland (1919-1920) under Article 119 of the Treaty of Versailles — Germany renounced all her rights over Togoland in favour of the principal Allied and Associated Powers. On 7th May 1919, the Supreme Allied Council requested France and Britain determine between themselves the future regime of Togoland and to recommend its adoption to the League of Nations. Under the terms of the Milner-Simon Declaration of the 10 of July, 1919 Britain and France agreed to determine the frontier between them. In 1919, the situation was reversed and in 1920 Britain handed over two-thirds of former Togoland to France and held one-third of Togoland and within six years (1914-1920) some Eʋes had to adjust themselves to three different colonial systems and learn to speak German-English and French.
The 4th Partition of Eʋeland (1921-1956) the League of Nations in July, 1921 conferred a Mandate system on Britain and France to supervise the government of Togoland. The boundary was the same as for 1919; the mandates were made definitive in 1922 and 1946 they became trusteeships and remained in force until 1956 dividing (a) Eʋeland under the Gold Coast Colony (b) Eʋeland under Britain — (British Mandated Togoland) (c) Eʋeland under France — French Mandated Togoland. The decision which creates a Trust territory under the Permanent Mandates Commission of the United Nations Organisation, failed to take into account the recommendation laid down in the Joint Anglo-French MEMO of May, 1919. The British Trusteeship was terminated in 1957 at Ghana's attainment of Independence after a Plebiscite on 9th May, 1956 and a subsequent referendum on the creation of the Volta Region of Ghana. The French Trusteeship was terminated in 1960 on Togo's attainment of Independence.
Ward on page 216 of his "History of Ghana" records the Togoland Plebiscite of May, 1956 and states crucial question posed thus: "Would you rather be part of an Independent-Ghana, or would you rather go on as you are and be governed as a Trust territory?" 93,000 in the BMT wished to part of Ghana while 66,500 in the same BMT wished to remain Trust territory.

Last week I posted about EU 261 which dealt with delays and compensation because of the delays from EU country to EU country OR flying on an EU carrier to an EU country from a non-EU country (like the United States) OR flying home from an EU country to a non-EU country on any airline. If you want to read that post again, click here.
We had a seven hour delay which entitled us to the compensation of 600 euros. I've heard from many people that it is difficult to get reimbursement from the US carriers. They often deny that mechanical is a valid reason for getting compensation even though the EU Court of Justice did rule that mechanical delays allowed for compensation.
This weekend, as I attended the Chicago Seminars, I learned of a company that could help you out. It is Get Air Help. Your flight can go back three years and they will still work for you. They gather all the paperwork and submit it to the airlines. If they are still unsuccessful they will even take them to court! Of course there is a fee and that is 25% of your reimbursement from the airline.
Howie, over at Frugal Travel Guy, wrote last week about another company Botts & Co, solicitors in the UK. They will do the same as Get Air Help however their commission rate is 25 euros plus 25 % 27% of your reimbursement. If you are awarded nothing, then you owe nothing to the company.
If you have been delayed and didn't know to do anything or had difficulty with the airlines, you might want to consider one ofd these companies to help you get your legal reimbursement.
I have not dealt with either company and do not have personal knowledge but thought that I would pass the information on in case you want to learn about these companies and know that there is help for you.

"You see various characters acting out not only their use but also we see hints of the things that cause them to need this escape," the band says of the video. "The figures appearing in a black void, searching for meaning in their solitude, reaching out for a hand, only to be free when they accept that they, themselves are all they need."
So Numb, Sannhet's third full-length, is a 9-song compendium evoking unique personas of drug users. Descending into the melancholia of addiction, the album's emotive soundscapes showcase what Sannhet does best: moving between extremes to create a dynamic that feels both climactic and anticipatory, dramatic and comfortably calm. Recorded and produced by Peter Katis (known for his work with Mercury Rev, Interpol, the National, and Oneida among others), So Numb denotes the band's most melodic sound to date.
Sannhet have always been a bit of an anomaly in their own craft. Since 2010, the trio's has effortlessly toyed with juxtaposition—heavy and light, cinematic and intimate, dense yet minimal. With So Numb, Sannhet builds a world from a grain of sand, crafting complex narratives with mere sound. Since their inception, Sannhet toured the United States several times over with bands such as Liturgy, King Woman, A Place To Bury Strangers and more, and have played highly coveted sets at Basilica Sounscape, Northside Festival, Hopscotch Festival, Tinnitus Music Series, NXNE and so on.
More details regarding So Numb will surface soon. In the meantime, pre-order the album directly through Profound Lore and see Sannhet this August in Brooklyn:

On 4th of May 2017 EURES will host an "Online European Job Day" from Cork. This interactive online event is focused on showcasing technology and business services career opportunities in Ireland. It aims to attract jobseekers with software/ IT skills or Business Service skills from across Europe and Ireland to work in the Irish technology sector. The event will take place exclusively online from 10am to 1.30pm, and will be broadcast from The Republic of Works in Cork. A number of leading Irish based multinational companies are participating including Apple, Dell, Google and Logitech as well as leading Irish SMEs such as Cregg Consulting, Eazy City Cork, Tracy's International and Wisetek solutions Ltd.
On 11th May 2017 EURES will host a National and European Jobs Fair at the Blanchardstown Centre, Dublin from 10:00am to 7:00pm. The event is aimed at unemployed people who are looking for work either locally or considering opportunities across Europe. It will be attended by local employers including Paypal, Keywords Studios, Keelings, HMSHost Ireland, PrePayPower, Cower Care DAC, 1 Plus Security, Rosie & Jim and UNICEF . A number of locally based Employment / Training and Advice Agencies will be in attendance.
Throughout the week, EURES services and opportunities in the European Labour Market will be promoted throughout the Department's Intreo Offices to interested and suitable clients. EURES Ireland National Coordinator Muriel Cleary said "European Employment Week is our key annual event showcasing the many opportunities and supports available to jobseekers in Ireland and Europe. EURES Ireland also supports employers with specialist hard to fill vacancies including language skills. We look forward to a successful week bringing European employment opportunities to local jobseekers as well as matching European candidates to the needs of Irish enterprise."
DETAILS RE. CORK EVENTThrough the event's website and its interactive elements jobseekers will be able to search and apply for jobs that match their profile in advance of the event, make contact with employers and book one or more job interviews. Participants can join us for company presentations, ask questions and chat with Irish employers and other exhibitors. Furthermore, they will be able to attend virtual presentations on 'Your First EURES Job'/ 'Reactivate' (European financial supports available when moving for work to another country).The Event Programme will include presentations on topics, such as:
For more information visit: https://www.europeanjobdays.eu/en/events/cork-where-it-check-it-out
Or contact EURES Ireland at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
DETAILS RE. DUBLIN EVENTIrish companies including Paypal, Keywords Studios, Keelings, HMSHost Ireland Ltd., PrePayPower, Cower Care DAC, 1 Plus Security, Rosie & Jim and UNICEF among others will be in attendance and recruiting for the following vacancies:
A CV Workshop will be in operation at the event to assist jobseekers to update and present their Curriculum Vitae. Workshops on CV presentation and Interview skills will run throughout the day.
EURES Advisers, who are specialists in international recruitment, from Germany, Belgium, Denmark, France, Spain, Sweden, Italy and Poland will be at the event to advise those interested in employment and career development opportunities in these countries. The EURES service is free of charge. For further information contact your local EURES Adviser or log onto www.eures.europa.eu.
Note for Editors
EURES Services EURES (European Employment Service) is a European-wide initiative that has been in place since 1993 and assists jobseekers take up employment within the EU. It is a network of all the public employment services in the European Union and the European Economic Area. Through EURES, public employment services share their employment vacancies and services with each other. The role of EURES is to provide information and advice on job opportunities in the EU/EEA. The EURES service is free of charge. For further information contact your local EURES Adviser or log onto www.eures.europa.eu.
For Jobseekers:The two main obstacles for Irish jobseekers in availing of opportunities in the European Labour Market are language and financial support. EURES Ireland provides key supports to address these challenges for jobseekers. Full details are available on the EURES website www.euresireland.ie.
Any such employment opportunities brought to the attention of jobseekers by the Department of Social Protection outside of Ireland are completely voluntary and people who do not avail of any such opportunities will not lose their social welfare entitlements here. It is an opportunity for jobseekers in Ireland to seek work in other EU countries in the wider European market and equally, it provides jobseekers abroad with an opportunity to find work with companies based here in Ireland where such vacancies cannot be filled by jobseekers in Ireland.
For Employers:Supporting employers with specialist hard to fill vacancies including language skills is a key objective of EURES Ireland to help attract and retain multinational companies based in Ireland particularly in the Technology and Business Services sectors. The labour market in Europe (EU) is a single market and all vacancies in every Member State are available to all citizens in every Member State. There is a legal obligation on the Department of Social Protection to make every European vacancy available to Irish citizens. In the same way every Irish vacancy is available on an equal basis to every European citizen.

PATHS and Spirulina
This is a link to a great thread on spirulina
Forum PATHS Forum: Spirulina
Spirulina Importance & Other Green Foods
Hi eveyrone,
Spirulina is the key to allowing the brain to have enough very absorbable aminos in order to create the connections corresponding to the instructions that the PATHS technology delivers. If not enough gasoline, the engine won't run right and will just bog down.
It is absolutely CRUCIAL to make sure than anyone starting the modules are on a minimum of 4 GRAMS of spirulina daily for at least the first week. After that, they can get a feel if they need more or less. But it is better they have a little more than they need to PREVENT getting bogged down and thinking the technology doesn't work. The fact they get bogged down with not enough shows that the technology not only works, but has a powerful effect on the brain/mind.
Some people only need about 2-3 grams daily and some need up to 12 grams daily. Everyone is different.
Tablets and capsules are usually 500mg each so 8 per day would be 4 grams daily. Powder, they'll just have to follow the suppliers instructions on how much is 4 grams.
I recommend taking some 30 minutes before breakfast and also some 30 minutes before lunch and they can also take some 30 minutes before dinner. The 30 minutes before hand is so the body can fully absorb the aminos without competing for absorption with food in their stomach. It is a good idea to take it with at least 8 ounces of water each time.
As a general rule, it is good that they take several 8 oz glasses of water daily because the brain needs a lot of water anyway.
For most people, it is a very healthy thing to fast 3 hours after dinner before going to bed without snacking. Then the last thing before brushing the teeth before going to bed and turning out the lights is to take some spirulina. When the stomach is empty right before bed and you're not eating any food, take some with 8 oz of water and it is VERY VERY absorbable. There is a benefit here. The body repairs itself most in deep DELTA sleep and the brain gets in that state about 4-6 times throughout the night in every sleep stage that repeats. In that state, the body can use the spirulina to help build some muscle mass...it isn't a large volume of protein but because of the absorbability, it is useful. Also, when sleeping the brain unravels a lot of the daily activities, etc... and makes use of the PATHS instructions and having some spirulina before bed on an empty stomach by fasting 3 hours after dinner can do wonders.
NOTE: Of course if you have blood sugar problems and need some sugar boost,
do what you need for your own body.
This is very recommended especially for anyone on the Take It Off module for weight loss. If anyone wants to lose weight, fasting 3 hours after dinner and taking a dose of spirulina with 8 oz of water as the last thing before turning out the lights is a booster.
Anyway, never underestimate the power of spirulina in conjunction with PATHS. Even if someone is health conscious and they think they are already on a good diet, it is your job to ensure them that they still need it.
Spirulina Quality If you want to look for a good spirulina here in the states at least and want to know that it is a good quality bottled with good manufacturing practices, look for the NNFA logo. National Nutritional Foods Association. They initiated the GMP - Good Manufacturing Practices. Any company that has NNFA or GMP logo on the bottles means they are holding up to some very strict guidelines.
I have been in various areas of the supplement business about 10+ years and the NNFA/GMP is a very respectable and credible endorsement.
NNFA is now known as the Natural Product Association so I don't know if the logo will change.
The purest spirulina you can get will be pure powder. Check your sources to make sure it was grown in heavy metal free water, tanks, etc...
Capsules are fine too and will have less "other ingredients" than tablets. The capsules are usually gelatin or vegetable cellulose for vegans. I prefer those if I can find them.
If you are using tablets, make sure there are a minimum amount of ingredients. It is difficult to avoid magnesium stearate that is part of the tablet making process and some encapsulation processes. But avoid any food colorings, and other wacky ingredients and if there are ingredients that you can't pronounce, you probably don't want them.
There are some liquid spirulina products, but I'm not very familiar with them. I have had Odwalla's Superfood green drink with spirulina in it. A little spendy but I think it taste good and I felt fine on it. Probably ok for road trips or something, but very spendy if a daily thing.
I hope this helps,

Here's a crazy question! Can Spirulina cause your body to detox? I think I read somewhere that it can. I'm a very big water drinker, but even still, I came down with an awful cold within a couple days of beginning the supplement. All is well and I'm feeling much better. I'm just curious.
Yes, all the Green foods help detoxify! About 10 years ago I started taking Spirulina/AFA and boy did I go through a flu symptom type cleansing!! But after the three days of feeling ill, I was feeling great!! It really helped on many levels this particular cleansing. My body almost refused to eat sugary foods after this.
It was so odd!, but I was better for it.
Love and Gratitude RUTH
Yeah! It's weird. I totally felt ill for the last 3 days. Dizzy even. And then this aftternoon I perked right back up and felt all better within about 3-4 hours! That's what got me thinking - hey! This is probably detox! Not a "real" cold/flu! I would much prefer this over the real thing. All to make me stronger.

Substitute for Spirulina
Spirulina is tried and proven for PATHS.
AFA (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) is another blue-green algae from Klamath lake that some of us are finding is a very suitable replacement but is more expensive.
Chlorella is similar to spirulina, but the nutritional profile is not as nutritious or absorbable. There are some chlorella products... Sun Chlorella is the best... the cell wall is broken more than any others so the nutrients that are there are absorbable, but the quantity of nutrients don't compare to spirulina.
SPIRULINA ALLERGY? There may be rare exceptions where anyone would be allergic to spirulina. Spirulina is detoxifying so it is possible that someone could detox too quickly releasing toxins in the blood stream causing some headaches or uneasy feelings. It is important to take plenty of water. Juice, coffee, tea and other drinks have water in them but they are NOT a substitute for plain water by itself.
Some people take spirulina on an empty stomach and if that doesn't agree with the stomach very well, it can be taken with food. It is a whole food by itself so can be absorbed very well all by itself on an empty stomach with a glass of water. Also, take capsules or tablets if the taste isn't agreeable in powder form by itself or in juice, etc...
If necessary to have a replacement for spirulina for the aminos, there are protein tablets at health food stores that has all the aminos..not as absorbable as spirulina... "predigested whey protein", etc... are available for more easily digestable and absorbable aminos.
There are soy, whey and other sources if necessary. Basically, if you take a substitute and you feel fine and PATHS is working, the substitute is probably working fine for you.
If you have a lot of junk in your body that has accumulated over the years and then start taking something with a cleansing affect like spirulina, it's gonna stir up all that stuff in your body and that's what will cause you to not feel so well at first, until it leaves your system. So it would be important to drink extra water during this time time, to help flush all that stuff out of your system. It sounds like you guys already know this, but I thought I would put that in here for anyone that is new to all this stuff.
Real products that activate dormant spiritual abilities
Bumping this thread. Also. . . .
The amount of aminos someone needs on PATHS varies from person to person. It depends on other factors in their diet, etc.
Recommendations are given but most import is to experiment yourself for any aminos you use.
There is a difference between lack of aminos and other changes due to PATHS.
Lack of aminos while using PATHS will result in feeling groggy. (This can also happen if you are not getting enough water and/or sleep on PATHS.)
Other changes from PATHS, not caused by a lack of the above, could be 1) cognitive dissonance or 2) PATHS taking effect level by level.
1) Cog dis is when your mind is processing conflicting beliefs such as "I hate my hair" and "I am beautiful." I experience this as being a little spaced out, but it's a different feeling than groggy. Groggy is when I feel like I just woke up but can't wake up all the way. Spaced out is when I could be alert but my mind seems to be processing a lot unconsciously, I'm just not having much conscious thought but it seems like a lot is going on up there.
2) PATHS will start to work and once it has resolved surface issues, it will move to deeper ones. You see it working and then as it goes deeper you wonder why you seem to be having less effect. Then over time you see that it is facing and improving deeper issues.

hair growing faster using spirulina
Okay, so I just realized this yesterday and wanted to post it.
I get my hair done every 3 months because my hair grows so darn slow...like 1 inch every 3 months. I had my hair done about 3 weeks ago, and its already half an inch long. I know most people hair grow this fast normally, but for me, its fast!
My nails have been growing faster too, and they seem whiter than usual. I could never keep my nails white, they alwasy turn yellow and break, but now theyre whiter and stronger.
Thought I'd share this too.
link to cheap spirulina
Hey all I just wanted to share with everyone a great link for really cheap spirulina. I just want to say that I am in no way affiliated with this company, I just know that paths users go thru alot of this stuff ( I take about 20g a day)
Spirulina - 500 mg./ 100 tablets
Buy 2 get 3 free
Here is a buy 2 get 3 free on the blue green algae.
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae | AFA blue green algae
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae | AFA blue green algae
The Truth about E3Live Aphanizomenon flos-aquae | AFA blue green algae informatio
I was wondering if anyone had an examples of what might happen when you first start taking Spirulina - I've just started taking it in powder form for the last few weeks, and have had to find through trial and error how to take this stuff.
Right now I'm taking it like a shot with water, but once my powder is finished I think I want to take it as a Capsule as it's quite hard to mix by hand with water without it all clumping together.
Anyway one thing I've noticed is that I'm getting acne on my face since taking Spirulina - and whats suprising to me is how quickly new acne spots appear after taking a dose of Spirulina ... which I'm hoping is a sign it's working an getting rid of toxins within my system - has anyone else experienced this? Any idea how long it will last and how t lessen the acne? I'm guessing just drinking water is all I can do?
Any advice is gratefully received.
Also does anyone know of a cheap supplier in the UK?
I saw some links on previous posts but the shipping costs to the UK are like $50
If the acne is a result of detoxification from the spirulina, it seems that there will come a point where you are detoxified and the acne will slow down or stop.
Unfortunately I do not know a good source for spirulina in the UK.
Google is your friend.
btw, I take tablets...capsules and powders....I don't like so much.

Hi LondonGuy
I'm also in the UK (Gloucester) and I get my Spirulina from:
Chlorella World : Product Catalogue
It's the best price I've found, but still excellent quality. They're based in the UK (I think they're in Kent?) and I've always had great customer service from them.
Hope that helps.

Spirulina before Bed ?
I don't think I could sleep, it gives me so much energy. Does anyone take it at bedtime?
To speed up the detoxification process, one can take something that contains clay in it, like azomite mineral powder. It contains many important minerals plus clay particles, which bind to pathogens and some toxins and remove them from the body. You will have to search where to get it because I am not sure.

Leaked List Of Arsene Wengers's Replacement Emerges
Follow ooh to be a Gooner on Facebook and Twitter for more latest Arsenal news, match analysis, transfer news, injury news, team news and rumours from reliable sources around the World.
Arsenal have reportedly started the process of drawing up a short list of contenders to replace beleaguered manager Arsene Wenger, with Germany boss Joachim Löw believed to be a leading contender.
The Sunday World newspaper and several English publications have run the story that Germany's 2014 World Cup winning coach is Arsenal's first choice to take over from Wenger, who is now expected to be replaced as Gunners boss at the end of the season.
The Metro claims that Löw could be joined in a new-look Arsenal management team by the Gunners German defender Per Mertesacker, who has confirmed that he will end his playing career at the end of this season.
While reports in Germany have suggested Löw (above) is not ready to jump into a high-profile club management job once his duties at this summer's World Cup finals have ended, an offer to take over at a club of Arsenal's stature may change that stance.
Meanwhile, Wenger heads in Thursday's game against AC Milan under huge pressure after a week that has seen his side slump to two damaging 3-0 defeats against Manchester City and a 2-1 defeat to Brighton that appear to have turned a majority of the club's fans against him.
Another defeat in the upcoming Europa League last 16 tie with AC Milan means Arsenal could end the season empty-handed, with Wenger conceding that would make this campaign worse than last year and all the calls for him to leave that came along with it.
"This season is worse than last season because last season we won the cup and we made 75 points," said the Frenchman.
"I don't deny that, but we'll analyse that at the end of the season. Don't worry, I can live with reality. At the moment, we lost a cup final and we lost a big championship game.
"What are the underlying things? We have to focus on what we did well tonight and what we didn't do well tonight. We need to correct it.
"I've been in sport long enough to know that we played against a top side who is at its best at the moment, and we have to say 'Thank you, well done'."

Director: Hansal Mehta
Cast: Rajkumar Rao, Keval Arora
Rating: 2 stars
It should be established at the onset that this review will look at the film in its entirety since it is based on the life of a man whose (mis)achievements are well-known. This review is, therefore, technically spoiler-free.
In one of the early scenes of Hansal Mehta's Omertà, Omar Sheikh, under the guise of Rohit Verma roams the streets of Paharganj, where he befriends four foreign tourists and later abducts them because of the atrocities their respective governments committed on his "Muslim brothers and sisters". When they plead that they haven't personally harmed anyone and all the atrocities are their governments' doing, Omar responds with a curt, "But you chose your government." This exchange sets the tone for the rest of his brutalities.
A student at London School of Economics, Omar is moved by the plight of the Muslims suffering in the Bosnian War. He collects newspaper cuttings of articles and images, no matter how gruesome, to motivate himself to fight the fight. Any shred of vigilantism is shed when he starts meeting the local maulana in London, who puts him in touch with his counterpart in Karachi. Thereafter begins Omar's descent into hell: militant training camps, indoctrination about the virtues of the "holy war", and fundamentalism ensue. In the meantime, Omar's father, played by the Delhi University Professor Keval Arora in his Bollywood debut, cuts a poignant picture of a man suffering in silence as he watches his son tread the wrong path.
One of the fundamental problems that ails Hansal Mehta's take on the life of the Pakistani-British terrorist is the lack of clarity with regard to its genre. Although claiming to be a biopic, it confuses itself for a documentary, where real-life images and video footage of terrorist attacks and ensuing trials are merged with their dramatisation. It works for Waltz with Bashir (2008), for instance; an Israeli animated documentary about the 1982 Lebanon War that ends with a news clip because it is a documentary. In the case of Omertà, however, it reinstates its plasticity and self-awareness. The filmmaker seems to struggle with trying to make a feature film on real events by juxtaposing them with the real events, as though trying to convey the idea that Omertà is above all the films "based on a true story" that take liberties with the truth.
Additionally, if someone's LinkedIn profile could be set in motion, perhaps this how it would look. The film shifts from one catastrophic event to another — abductions, the hijacking of IC-814, the attack on the World Trade Centre, the assassination of Daniel Pearl, and the 2008 Mumbai attacks — with the effect of presenting the audience with highlights of Omar Sheikh's career, without spending a truly convincing moment on the mastermind's psyche. The worlds of literature and cinema have seen villains with what Samuel Taylor Coleridge called "motiveless malignity". He used the phrase to describe Iago from Shakespeare's Othello, who caused strife with the knowledge of not gaining anything materialistic in return, but the same can also be applied to the Joker from The Dark Knight (2008). The way these villains revel in chaos makes them memorable. Omar Sheikh, as he is portrayed by Rajkummar Rao, in spite of his repeated insistence on jihad, is banal and devoid of introspection, even if his introspection is about ridding the world of "infidels". A lot of staring into the space, a lot of laboured London accent, and sudden bursts of rage characterise Rao's performance. The London accent, in particular, sticks out — perhaps because of the nonlinear nature of filmmaking — as it oscillates between artificial and effortless from one scene to another.
Mehta has tried to keep the film taut by clocking it at 98 minutes. The audience gets the gist of how extremely and unstoppably dangerous this person is with the news footage, but more so when intertitles of Omar Sheikh's present state of existence in a Pakistani prison (where his death sentence has still not been carried out) immediately follow the events of 26/11 and his role in it. To its credit, the film maintains a neutral tone and does not humanise Omar Sheikh. Perhaps five more minutes of dwelling on what makes one a fundamentalist wouldn't have harmed the film's prospects. As a nod to its title, which refers to a code of silence among Mafias when questioned by the police, the film gives away nothing except facts.

SEOUL -- South Korea's state research institute has developed a lightning-fast internet technology capable of downloading a 3GB movie file in a blink of an eye, which is ideal for fifth-generation (5G) services, virtual reality and augmented reality.
The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) said in a statement Tuesday that its researchers have developed a core source technology to boost the current maximum internet speed of 2.5Gbps to 25Gbps. The new technology enables the transfer of a small data packet in one-thousandth of a second.
Commercialization of the technology named "Tic-TOC" (Time Controlled-Tactile Optical Access) is possible next year by using existing optical communication cables for internet connection and upgrading communication devices.
Also, ETRI has developed a latency control technology which can be installed into a single device with an optical cable transmitting module. The optical network device boosts the internet speed of buildings.
According to researchers, the new internet technology would vitalize interactive VR and AR markets which require fast network connections. ETRI researchers said their technology was effective in the remote controlling of robots because they reacted quickly with no latency.

Like us (humans), decisions continue to grow until they are killed by another decision, or by fate. Small things need small decisions – what candy to pick. Big things demand big decisions – which house to buy. As simple as that. But what if the thing is either small or big, or neither small nor big? What if it's abstract, like faith and hope? What if it's love? How do we measure that? Are we supposed to be talking size? Or length? Or size? No, not that green mind.

The Story Of My College Life Part 2
Taking baths three times a day was the most that happened in my second year in college. And Bordo Burgers! And silogs. Darn, it used to rain graces coming straight from…the kitchen! (*grin*)
Anyway, college life was almost entirely new since that afternoon I left Men's Dorm, except that I was still a UPLB student and a DevCom major. And I was still the girl who loved wearing jeans and shirts; who never cared about her hair; who spoke in soft voice; who ate with "princess-y" etiquette; who never enjoyed drinking water; coffee-lover; frustrated singer; frustrated guitarist; frustrated "shopaholic" and a lot lot more. And of course, I was still far away from home, so I was still the girl who had been missing her mom and dad.
SKADOOSH! Don't call me "poor little girl", I swear I enjoyed the freedom. "Give me liberty. Or give me death." Right, brother? Oh, that's another thing: I was still the baby sister who was a big fan of her brother and her sister. Just the way they write!
And importantly, I was still with one of my first roommates. (*smiles*) Thanks to you, Boy! So, after all, life wasn't entirely new.
I was most serious with my schooling during my second year in college, believe me. School girl, yes! "Who's the pro?" "Yes? Anything?"
Kidding. I couldn't be any happier for myself whenever friends told me how down-to-earth I was for being able to hold back the cockalorum, keeping the big news behind my throat, and never caring to spill'em out at all. Oh dear friends, how would you know? You weren't friends with my parents. They endured all of my bragging. I drowned them in my loud ways of self-glorification and left them no option but adore their little daughter more and more. Yeah, classical conditioning, right Ivan P.? It worked for me in a way like I was a puppy always begging for bones that sound crunchy, like an audience's applause every time I took a bite. But that was all okay. I worked all that for self-fulfillment, anyway. And to make my parents happy, more than proud, was the big part of that so-called self-fulfillment.
Back in first year, I almost lost myself to Math. D*mn those numbers! And x. And y! I'd rather watch old Pinoy action movies like "Papunta Ka Pa Lang, Pabalik Na Ako" than an hour with college algebra.
Oh, I see! I see. I've never known what I'm allergic with. Not until now. College algebra (*scratching hand*). College algebra (*scratching right leg*). Oh, amen to that!
I hated Math because it hated me. That was my way of paying obedience to the golden rule: "Do not do unto others what you don't want others do unto you." But of course I ended up in no fair game. I had to clip up my nose while pouring out a glassful of love potion into my mouth so I'd fall for Mr. Math because I had to. Else, I'd fail ECON 11, STAT1, and my thesis. Summed up, that would be…failing my college education. So, I placed the bulk of my attention to ECON 11, and I kind of enjoyed my choice. I could only count the times I failed to review previous discussions or do advance reading before going to my ECON class. Like…one or two. Three at maximum. No, I'm not a braggart.
It often felt awkward entering a huge lecture hall where everyone was a stranger. Well, at least later on I got to talk with my groupmates in the recitation class. "Hi!" "Hello!" "Here's your part. Answer numbers 2 and 3. Then we meet up on Wednesday afternoon, after class. Alright?" And one more thing was that our professors prepared seating arrangements so I didn't have to worry and bother anyone asking if someone was sitting in this and that chair. Good enough.
Thanks to the love potion, I passed my exams in the lecture class, and my exercises in the recitation class. I thought I just made a good deal with ECON 11. At the end of the semester, guess what! I got a…2.0. Told you I'm not a braggart. With a flat 2.0? Nah, never mind. But I swear that flat 2.0 was precious, like piso to make for my jeepney fare, saving me from walking my way home. And working hard for it made me look like a pro! (*lol*)
It was a long year then. Things happened. I made a lot of new friends; a lot of new favorites including Bordo Burgers and silogs; lots and lots of sleepless nights, bad hair days, eye bags…and courage…and then -SKADOOSH!- good grades.
That year, I was able to actually see and operate an audio console. I mean, an old audio console. And it was extraordinary feeling I had after I got my 'corrected but uncorrected' DJ's spiel with a flattering combo remarks of flat 1.0 and "Very good!" on it. No, I'm not bragging my FLAT 1.0 and my "VERY GOOD!" Anyway, in that broadcasting class, we were each given an hour to air our music program. I compiled like eight Disney songs and went on air, with a medium pack of Holy Kettle Corn, until my signing off as the hour's DJ. That was a lot of fun, I swear to that old audio console! So, I thought I could join the jocks. Unluckily, when it was my turn to audition: D*mn words! Why are you guys so little? -_- C'mon, grow big, let me read you… -_-
But I just immediately got over it. I just thought it wasn't written in my fate. Perhaps. Or…
"Dear Fate,
Can I just mind my own life, and you mind yours?"
That same year, I almost auditioned for official membership in SJ or Street Jazz, a famous dance group in the university. But even sooner than my second practice session with an SJ friend, I decided not to. It would require me to stay at the Baker Hall until 10:00 PM everyday. That was a no-no. ECON 11 was my thing.
Although I didn't find myself in SJ's late night practice sessions, I caught myself at free fall, my back landing flat on my bed, shoes untied, after an extraneous warm up and an evening-long dance rehearsal for the Loyalty Day. Cramps. And cramps. And cramps. But they paid off! The rehearsals made a good stretch to my muscles and refreshed my dance moves. I regained my winning poise, which made me look like I was on high profile.
Dancing was definitely my thing!!! Despite the paralyzing cramps, the several rehearsals and the final performance during the celebration of the UPLB Loyalty Day 2007 surely took me on a high. I was there. I danced. Front line. At first, I had to repeat it to myself that I was placed at the front because I was small. But no, it wasn't that. The next thing I knew was that I had to stop my ears from flapping, 'cause I just heard the assistant DI said to our DI: I want her in front and in the middle. She's effortlessly graceful. And then, I died of liver enlargement and suffocation in flattery. (*lol*)
In December, I danced again, that time for my college's presentation in the UPLB Faculty Follies. After the program, I went out for dinner with the other performers and a few of our college instructors. At the resto, one of our college instructors was invited by his Japanese friend to his table, and not long he came back to our table with his Japanese friend next to him.
Suddenly, this Japanese man pointed at me and said: You. You. It's you! Surprisingly, I saw myself on the screen of his laptop. It was a medium shot of me during the dance performance. Surprised, I just smiled, speechless.
I'm getting lots of flashbacks now. But this is already going too long so I should cut it here. All the rest of my 2007-2008 remain in here —> ❤ (*wink*)
Running Through Chapters
Cliche is that, life is like a book, running through chapters. Words written, and then they happen. Words read, and then the story seems real. But of course, life is far more exciting, without question, and with all the fun, all the pain never surreal. Just real. Where would authors take their stories from? Life, of course. Or death. Somehow.

As a child of the recession, I don't really have a lot of money to spend. On anything. But when I find myself with an extra ten dollars, it unequivocally goes toward a paperback from Melville House, home of the lusciously sexy Art of the Novella series.
Started ten years ago by founder Dennis Johnson, Melville house stands a fearless contradiction to the frantic fears of the publishing world which has been causing larger and smaller presses to throw themselves blindly into the Moloch of the giant online markets. Melville House's philosophy is simple, and a direct assault on the churn-em-out ethos of Google and Amazon: let the thing speak for itself. Come to a book because you want to, not because it suddenly resembles a more exciting form of media.
The experience of opening a Melville House paperback, slight and brightly colored, 'like candies in a bowl', is a sensual one. The bare title in block lettering with one evocative, enigmatic quote on the back is an erotic challenge–it defies the one not to pick it up, not to give oneself to it fully–rapturously.
"We wanted a very stripped down experience," says Johnson, "and yet we still wanted the thing to be beautiful. Most of all we want the thing to speak for itself. I mean, you don't really need to know anything other than Tolstoy, for example. There's really no need. It's hard in this culture to let that happen, to just let that word, Tolstoy, tell you what this thing is. Everyone wants to shape it in a certain way for an audience and we basically say fuck that. There's got to be enough people out there with enough wit to look at this thing and say, 'Oh! Let's open the cover'. I've got enough information. I can think for myself. We don't include introductions or afterwords and things like that for the same reason. You don't need someone telling you what to think about this. You figure it out. You're not an idiot. Or maybe you are. In that case, good luck."
Though it's possible to become less of one, if you make it a habit of reading things that do speak for themselves. In this same line of thought, Melville House has come out with a new series this year called the Neversink Library, a collection of rare, previously unpublished classics in new translations.
"The Neversink series is not necessarily going to have a name that you'll recognize. Who knows Irmgard Keun?" He holds up the first paperback in the series, Keun's After Midnight, a 1937 novel of civilian life under Nazi rule. "She's actually amazing, and this book has never been translated and printed in the U.S. before. I can't believe that because this lady, she was a writer in the 20s and 30s in Germany, and she got on the Nazi shit list. They were going to arrest her and kill her so she escaped Germany. She escaped and staged her own suicide and snuck back into Germany under an assumed name and hid out for the length of the war because she just couldn't bear to leave her country to these barbarians. I just think that's one of the most amazing stories I've ever heard—she was writing about life under Hitler–a woman writer who wrote from the belly of the beast.There's very little women's writing about just normal life under the Nazis. After Midnight is about this kind of naive young girl who's just trying to get to a party with her girlfriend but the Fuhrer has come to town to make a speech and the roads are closed and shit, and this is just fucking up her party life and it's so funny but dark–it's an amazing perspective. There's no reason in the world that should be out of print."
The democracy of Melville House's method extends to the new series–Johnson encourages readers to send suggestions to Neversink (here). Even in our enlightened age, the thought of having direct communication with publishers about what actually gets printed is somewhat radical.
"We think we're really helping culture." says Johnson. "We're trying to stay, we know there are a lot of you out there that are like us, that just really like to read and to understand the world through literary comprehension, and feel there is wisdom to be gotten from these other people and other places and other times."
So BULLETT's advice to you in the Summer months is not to spend your money on some huge, ridiculous glossy magazine for the beach (with the exception of our own, of course). Instead, be better. Be someone you'd actually want to have a conversation with.
Read Melville House.

In April, 151 intrepid Wisconsin 4-H'ers, 15 bold youth counselors and 20 brave adult advisors went on a mission. That mission was to travel to a place many young people dream of: Space Camp.
Founded in 1982, Space Camp is located at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, a 14-hour bus ride from Wisconsin. One of the first science camps, Space Camp uses the U.S. Space Program as a means to promote science, technology, engineering and math — known as STEM — to young people.
This experience was Bridget Dean's third time at Space Camp. Dean, the 15-year-old vice president of the Washington County 4-H Leaders Association Board, participated in a weekend-long robotics camp while also leading activities for younger campers.
She and her fellow youth counselors programmed Lego Robotics Mindstorms bots using a computer program. They ran the robots through an obstacle course that included levers and buttons that activated devices like lights, doors and conveyor belts.
"It was a really fantastic teamwork exercise and showed what our team had been practicing the past days as counselors," Bridget says.
Bridget explained that NASA uses robots to explore areas humans are incapable of journeying to. NASA robots also produce rockets, conduct research and make repairs outside of the International Space Station.
Bridget's Space Camp experiences have led her to consider studying aeronautics.
"Since camp, I have been finding opportunities to learn about airplanes, pilots' licenses, air camps, and even the Air Force," Bridget says. "Before Space Camp, I never would have thought about flight and space being my passion!"
While Bridget built robots, a "crew trainers" guided younger Wisconsin 4-H Space Campers through the same tests that astronauts use to prepare for space missions, teaching them about STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) along the way. The 11 teams built and launched rockets and anti-gravity and moonwalk simulators. This training helped them on their simulated space mission.
The groups each worked together in different roles: mission control directed the astronauts who worked together to solve problems during the mission while other team members performed a spacewalk. The Wisconsin 4-H teams capped off the weekend with a Space Bowl quiz contest on what they'd learned through the weekend.
During their stay at Space Camp Wisconsin 4-H'ers had the opportunity to see real space vehicles. They visited the Rocket Boneyard, a collection of decommissioned rockets from past NASA space missions. The center's museum houses the actual spacecraft used on the U.S.'s first human spaceflight program, Project Mercury, from 1985-1963, as well as a replica of the International Space Station

Can anyone recommend a plugin that can place ads within post content?
Much like the wpmu dev plugin "in post ads" but one that actually works?
Again I find myself having to search out a plugin that works because the ones
that I have paid for here do not and I cannot get support.
The in post ads plugin is actually redirecting post to ads in other browsers now too.
If you are using it, check at least that is is working in Opera browser as if it is broken
like mine is, and you continue to use it, you could lose your Adsense account
for displaying ads on pages with no content… not to mention the reputation of your blog.
"who is this moron who redirects me to his ads?"
Ideally I would like the one that I have paid for to work, but cannot wait forever.

Katy Perry locked lips a 19-year-old boy. On American Idol Saturday premiere, the 33-year-old show judge kissed a contestant Benjamin Glaze from Enid, Oklahoma which became a night to remember for him.
During his audition, Benjamin, who is an electronic store cashier, admitted to Katy and fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan that he has not shared a smooch with anyone before.
He said,
I've never been in a relationship. I can't kiss a girl without being in a relationship.
With no hesitation, the Roar singer stood up from her seat and said,
Come here, Benjamin. Come here right now!
As the boy went in for a simple kiss on the cheek, at the last second, Katy turned her head and landed a kiss on the lips.
Take a look!
American Idol also shared that very beautiful moment on the show's official Instagram account. Check it out.
After the kiss, which caused Benjamin to fall to his knees, the 19-year-old sang his heart out during his audition. But unfortunately, he failed to convince the judges to send him to Hollywood.
Katy said,
I really enjoyed meeting you today. You gave my heart a flutter. I think you're really sweet but truthfully, there are just some people that are outsinging you right now and so I don't think it'd be fair to put you in that kind of competition. Next time just take your time. I think you were a bit rushed and I think that's because I sped up your BPM of the heartbeat.
Although he didn't get the golden ticket to Hollywood, there's no doubt that he got one of the most memorable days for Benjamin.
He said,
It was an eye-opening experience. I very much learned I am a terrible kisser!
Check out some social media reactions regarding Benjamin's smooch with Katy.
