A public lecture with a discussion on this topic was held on the 11th of April in the 310 audience "Prof. Petar Mutafchiev" at the New Bulgarian University in Sofia.
H. E. Mr. Stavros Avgoustides, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Cyprus to the Republic of Bulgaria, spoke to students and guests on the topic of "Cultural Diplomacy or Diplomacy for Culture - The Power of Creation". Moderator was Dr. Ivan Nachev, Head of the Department of Political Science.
"Learn, stick to your principles, love your family and culture and be creative. If you are creative, you will be happy. If you are happy, then the people around you will be too" said H. E. Mr. Stavros Avgoustides to the students. An emphasis in his speech was "the quest for quality education, through which the world could become a better place".
The event is part of the University's seminar "Diplomat of the 21st Century: Getting to Know Diplomacy and Diplomats", which takes place under the auspices of H. E. Mr. Stefano Baldi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Italy in our country and Dr. Georgi Tekev, Executive Director of the NBU. The seminar is aimed at students that are in their bachelor's and master's programs in the Departments of Administration and Management, Economics, Political Sciences and many others; and it aims to acquaint them with some specific aspects of the international relations, in particular with the work and the role of the ambassadors.
The lectures and discussions included in the program allowed young people to exchange views and ideas on the activities and responsibilities of the diplomats in the 21st century. Until now, besides H. E. Mr. Stavros Avgoustides, a lecture was also led by H. E. Mr. Stefano Baldi on "The Diplomat in the Internet Age". There are two more to come - H. E. Mr. Michael Forbes, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Ireland to Bulgaria, who will talk about "Political Analysis and International Relations in the Ambassador's Work" on the 30th ofMay; and H. E. Mr. Dušan Štrauch, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Czech Republic who will talk about the "Economic and Trade Diplomacy: the Ambassador's Role" on the 13th ofJune.

Temperamental Car: Reasons and Fixes for Hot-Start Failure
A long drive in hot weather can mess up the engine of a car. When you try to start the car after a short break, the starter responds but the engine does not catch up. Such a condition is known as a temperamental car and this particularly happens with some old Honda models. What does cause this hot-start failure and how to solve this issue?
The Reasons for a Temperamental Car
Hot weather and long drive are definitely responsible for a car to act up this way but these are not the only reasons. In fact, any car in perfectly good health can drive hour after hour under the scorching sun without facing this issue. The main culprit here is the fuel pump relay.
You will find the relay by looking under the dashboard at the driver's side floorboard. In older Honda models, this relay stops working when it gets overheated. Although Honda has fixed this problem decades ago, many vintage models are still running.
The owners of such a model are quite aware of this problem. It only happens because the fuel pump relay stops working when hot weather turns the car into an oven.
The relay closes when you start the vehicle. By doing so, it sends power to the fuel pump, so it can send fuel to the engine through the fuel injectors. However, an overheated relay does not close, which means no fuel goes into the engine. As a result, the car does not start.
How to Solve the Hot-Start Failure Issue?
As the problem occurs due to the fuel pump relay getting overheated, your car will run again if you can get the relay back to the normal state. So, if you are driving an old Honda and it's hot like hell out there, be careful that the interior does not turn into an oven.
There are two kinds of fixes for this problem — temporary and permanent solutions.
Temporary Fixes
If the car does not start on a hot day, waiting for 20 to 30 minutes may work. Don't forget to keep the doors open or rolling down the windows. It will cool down the relay, which will start functioning again.
Some people think that hosing down the hood will solve this hot-start failure issue. Well, it does nothing except for wasting plenty of water. The main key is cooling down the passenger compartment.
Your car will start after keeping the doors and windows open for a while. However, it will possibly be a rough start and you need to add plenty of fuel to the gas tank and rev the engine a little for the car to run smoothly.
Permanent Fixes
The best way to solve this annoying problem is to replace the fuel pump relay. It's a really cheap fix as a new relay costs around $50. Once replaced, it will last for approximately 10 years. So, it's better to get rid of the temperamental car problem in this way and enjoy a day trip on a summer day without facing any hot-start failure.

The CW's New Superman & Lois Posters Highlight Lana Lang's Family
Clark Kent and Lois Lane may share top billing on Superman & Lois. Regardless, this doesn't mean that characters outside their family can't get their own posters for the series. The CW has just revealed new key art for the show's ongoing first season that spotlights all three members of the Lang-Cushing clan. You can check them out for yourself below.
You can't resist their small-town charm. Catch up before new episodes return on May 18: https://t.co/LpX1i14uj0 #SupermanAndLois pic.twitter.com/j1hRHHmf96
— Superman & Lois (@cwsupermanlois) May 3, 2021
Lana Lang-Cushing (Emmanuelle Chriqui) is the focus of her own poster, as are her husband, Kyle (Erik Valdez), and their daughter, Sarah (Inde Navarrette). Their family has been a big part of the Kents' lives since they moved back to Smallville. Lois and Clark's sons, Jonathan and Jordan, have struck up a friendship with Sarah, who struggles with her own mental health issues. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Lana has been clashing with Kyle over his suspicious dealings with Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner).
So far, Superman & Lois has been a ratings success for The CW. The network renewed the show for a second season just one week after airing its pilot, which quickly became the most-streamed episode in The CW's history. The series has been on hiatus since late March due to a coronavirus-related speedbump. However, this gives new viewers time to catch up on its first five episodes. HBO Max announced last week that fans can stream all of these episodes for free until May 17.
The next episode of Superman & Lois will air on Tuesday, May 18 on The CW.

The letter was sent by Latvian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LTRK), Latvian Employers' Confederation (LDDK), Latvian Advertising Association (LRA) and retail companies.
LTRK Board Chairman Jānis Endziņš said in an interview on Latvian Television January 22 that the industry had the task of consolidating its views in order to come to the concept of safe retail.
Retail locations must ensure conditions that no crowding is possible, namely a specific area of square meters per person, and the rules must be enforceable and controlled.
This arrangement is in line with the police, who monitor compliance with security measures in the country as a whole.
According to Endziņš, the whole trading sector "is plagued" – lists of what goods can be sold or not place an additional burden on entrepreneurs. Part of the stores are open, part is closed, said Endziņš, adding that "it is better to work with different restrictions than not to work at all". The head of LTRK said he doesn't think retail is "the main place we spread the virus. No data has indicated it".

THQ was torn apart like Osiris yesterday, its studios and best-known games scattered all over the world in the hands of new owners. Koch Media got Volition, Crytek got Homefront, Ubisoft got South Park and, as predicted, Sega got Relic. But as far as we can work out, Relic left perhaps their most venerable series behind.
That's why a small interactive media company are setting out to buy the rights to Homeworld themselves.
teamPixel have until now specialised in web design, web development, desktop software, and mobile applications, but a little experience in locally-commissioned game development has been enough to persuade them that they're the best team to make Homeworld 3.
"We here at teamPixel, LLC are tired of waiting for the next Homeworld game and would like to rally fans together to bring the franchise back," reads their IndieGoGo project's blurb.
"The THQ bankruptcy has given all of us a massive opportunity to put Homeworld back in the hands of gamers. teamPixel respectfully requests the support of Homeworld fans everywhere in helping us raise funds to acquire the Homeworld franchise from THQ during their bankruptcy."
And what do teamPixel intend to do with Homeworld? Their plans are threefold. First, to release the original games on GOG and Steam to ensure the series will "no longer be confined to scratched CDs and illegal file sharing".
Second, to adapt the original game for touch devices. "We've been testing several prototypes, and we've found the experience to be incredibly immersive and intuitive," write teamPixel. "It's almost like the games were meant to be played this way."
Lastly, they intend to develop Homeworld 3.
If $50,000 sounds like a laughably small amount with which to both purchase the Homeworld rights and develop two games, that's because it is. Consequently, teamPixel plan to buy the IP with the IndieGoGo cash and use pre-order campaigns to fund the production of the new titles. They're also planning to draw on "equity funding, credit, and even the pocket change of our staff".
Fortunately, this long-shot in space is safety-netted by a refund guarantee should some rather larger company swipe the Homeworld rights from over teamPixel's head.
"We will make every effort to continue to pursue the Homeworld franchise from THQ and any subsequent buyer," says campaign organiser Robert Santos.
"Given the separation of Relic and Homeworld at THQ and Relic's production timetable leaked during bankruptcy proceedings, I currently believe the bankruptcy did not interrupt the production of any unannounced Homeworld games, and it is possible Sega may have no interest in the series either given Relic's recent work.
"If that continues to be the case, we will pursue every avenue toward bringing this franchise back to life."
Edit: We asked Sega whether theydid in fact have the Homeworld license, and they replied rather crypticallyas follows:
"It is true that SEGA took part in the bidding of all shares of THQ Canada Inc. and THQ's IPs related to the titles developed by THQ Canada Inc. SEGA won the bid as the court announced and the deal will be closed tomorrow, after which SEGA will release detailed information."
Tomorrow, then. If teamPixel do get the chance to bid for Homeworld, though, would you like to see them succeed? And, if not, who would you prefer to see develop a new sequel?

[July 15, 2020] Some say emotional abuse is the worst kind of abuse to heal from. Others say it's not even a real thing, that the person is just weak and can't handle criticism. There's a huge stigma around it because of those views. I can tell you that EMOTIONAL ABUSE IS REAL!
Emotional abuse completely destroyed me, leaving me with absolutely nothing. I had to start everything over, become my own person again, learn who I am, what I like and dislike, figure out what works best for me to parent my kids. The relationship I was in was lopsided; my feelings were ignored because his were more important, I became someone who was centered around pleasing someone else and ensuring he was okay, that I didn't matter anymore.
The biggest example of this that comes to mind took place on the day of my grandmother's funeral. I was visibly upset at the loss of my grandmother, and he came home from work, in a bad mood. Seeing me upset, he told me that if I was going to be "depressed," I should go somewhere else, because I was bringing him down. This made me feel like my feelings weren't valid.
Growing up, we always said that saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." While the concept is about building a "thick skin," it blinds us to the fact that words can sometimes hurt much more than sticks or stones.
It didn't click in my mind that what I was going through was abusive until very recently. When I looked at what I was experiencing from my kids' perspectives - the constant name-calling and seeing him put me down over and over again - I realized that if they were experiencing that, I would call it child abuse. No one deserves to be treated that way.
Victims of emotional abuse are often unsure if what they are experiencing is even abuse, because they believe every negative word about themselves the abuser put into their head. People who suffer emotional abuse are so often overlooked and under protected. Even though I was terrified of him, I could not get a restraining order based solely on the emotional abuse. Though emotional abuse can be just as dangerous as other types of abuse, it is the least recognized form of abuse, it is not a crime, and there's no justice.
- Helen, SOAR Member
SOAR members educate audiences about all forms of abuse. One tool used for educational purposes is the Power & Control Wheel, a tool developed by the Duluth Model in Duluth, MN, which describes eight tactics of abuse commonly seen in domestic violence relationships. Emotional abuse is included in the wheel as being a tactic that includes using put-downs, making the victim feel bad about him/herself, making her feel guilty, humiliation, and more. If you are in an abusive relationship or know someone who might be, or if you are looking for resources for a child who has witnessed domestic violence, call the Rhode Island statewide Helpline for 24-hour support and information at 800-494-8100.

A son knelt beside his beloved father's body in the middle of a Brooklyn street on Monday — clutching his dad's cap — after the man was mowed down trying to stop a thief.
"All you're going to hear is good things,'' Anthony Dellegrazie told The Post through tears when asked about his father, Phil, 63.
Phil Dellegrazie, an ironworker, was carrying boxes outside his shop, A&D Iron Works in Greenwood, at around 9 a.m. when a thief hopped into his brand-new flatbed truck and zoomed off, police and witnesses said.
The father of three jumped into his white Lexus SUV and raced after the truck, which had had the keys inside.
"At the next corner, the truck stopped at the light. [Dellegrazie] got out of his car and ran to the window,'' recalled Pablo Rodriguez, who works at A&D.
"The guy pushed him and then ran over him. Then he got out of the truck and ran off.
"[Dellegrazie's] sons came in their truck,'' Rodriguez said. "The younger son, Anthony, asked me, 'Hey, what happened?' I said, 'Your father had an accident. He died.' He got out of the truck and ran to his father. He was crying.''
Anthony Dellegrazie's Instagram account is peppered with admiration for his tough-as-nails father. One photo posted to the account shows a smiling Phil Dellegrazie working in his 24th Street shop.
"Real reason why I love working Saturdays, just to spend extra time with my father,'' the son had written in the caption.
"He's the hardest worker that I know and hopefully one day I can be half the man he is. Couldn't have asked for a better father, he's my inspiration and what motivates me everyday. Couldn't say anything bad about him, he's truly amazing. I love this guy."
The photo has the hashtag "#couldntaskforanythingmore."
A selfie uploaded a few months later shows Anthony and his father in a red Ferrari, with the dad at the wheel.
"Doesn't even workout he's got a bigger tricep than me . . . Not bad for 62 huh,'' the son wrote.
Phil Dellegrazie's friends said it was no surprise that he would stand up to a thug who stole his truck.
"He was a very old-school, take-no-s- -t-from-anybody kind of guy,'' said Elizabeth Santana, 48.
"Someone tried to steal his truck; he went after him. That was the kind of guy he was," she added.
An ambulance happened to be right behind the truck when it struck Dellegrazie, and an EMT jumped out to try to revive him, said Salem Jwayyed, who works in a bodega across the street.
"She was doing CPR for at least 15, 20 minutes," Jwayyed, 37, recalled.
"Her partner blocked the traffic while she was on top of him, trying to revive him. But I think he was dead on impact."
Cops busted Joshua Colon, 24, late Monday for the crime. He was grilled at the 72nd Precinct station house and charged with murder and grand larceny.

I'm a filmmaker now. Did I mention this before? Yep, it's official. Get my name on those shortlists. "And the Oscar goes to….Uncle Danno." I'm slowly getting my sealegs when it comes to technique. I'm a long way from anywhere but at least I can fumble through post without wanting to jump off the roof.
I'm a believer that one of the most important things a photographer can do is to photograph their own family. This can be effortless or a battle that leaves all parties spent and foaming at the mouth. Portraiture is a specific psychological game and practicing with family can really help out when you venture forth and begin to work with strangers.
For most of my life, my mother was the family documentarian. Armed with her trusty Pentax K1000 and weathered Haliburton case she snapped year after year, chronicling the good, the bad and the Milnor ugly. Then one day she stopped, handed the baton to me and said "Time for you to drive."
Recently I aimed Dusty south and ventured to my mom's cabin to photograph her and to learn how she came to carry the camera that recorded our lives.
If you don't photograph your family you really should. Even those members who fight tooth and nail to avoid the lens. In fact, start with them. Go forth my photo-children.

Human rights are considered ethical demands that operate at an elevated juridical level. They have become popular legal constructs that contribute to the traditional instrumentalist and the more esoteric functions of law. While there is often considerable criticism leveled against human rights, as creatures of law and as legal mechanisms possessing unique characteristics, they are also uniquely situated and able to perform a singular mediating role in the human-environment interface. The recent mushrooming of rights to a healthy environment, environmental-related procedural rights and other substantive political and socio-economic rights bearing on environmental interests, is testimony to their increasing popularity. Yet, despite their prevalence in the environmental regulatory domain, the arrival of the Anthropocene is possibly set to require a complete rethink of the way in which we use human rights to mediate the human-environment interface. This is because the Anthropocene presents an urgent call for dramatic regulatory interventions of a kind hitherto unseen. Accepting the continuing prevalence of human rights as part of the environmental regulatory domain, this article argues that there is every reason to believe that their traditional role, nature, objectives and construction should change because of the Anthropocene. The article carries this argument by discussing the Anthropocene and its features that might influence conceptions of human rights and the environment as they are currently embedded in the social institutions of environmental law and governance. The argument then uses climate change as a useful explanatory context to identify and to understand the different types of rights issues that might arise in the Anthropocene. The next part of the discussion then takes stock of human rights in the environmental context by evaluating the way in which they currently mediate the human-environment interface. The article concludes with suggestions founding a re-imagination of the relationship between human rights and the environment in the Anthropocene.

Consult the labeling of concurrently used drugs to obtain further information about interactions with hormonal contraceptives or the potential for enzyme alterations.
No drug-drug interaction studies were conducted with Tri Femynor.
7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on Combined Oral Contraceptives
Substances decreasing the plasma concentrations of COCs:
Drugs or herbal products that induce certain enzymes, including cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), may decrease the plasma concentrations of COCs and potentially diminish the effectiveness of COCs or increase breakthrough bleeding. Some drugs or herbal products that may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives include phenytoin, barbiturates, carbamazepine, bosentan, felbamate, griseofulvin, oxcarbazepine, rifampicin, topiramate, rifabutin, rufinamide, aprepitant, and products containing St. John's wort. Interactions between hormonal contraceptives and other drugs may lead to breakthrough bleeding and/or contraceptive failure. Counsel women to use an alternative method of contraception or a back-up method when enzyme inducers are used with COCs, and to continue back-up contraception for 28 days after discontinuing the enzyme inducer to ensure contraceptive reliability.
Colesevelam: Colesevelam, a bile acid sequestrant, given together with a COC, has been shown to significantly decrease the AUC of EE. The drug interaction between the contraceptive and colesevelam was decreased when the two drug products were given 4 hours apart.
Substances increasing the plasma concentrations of COCs:
Co-administration of atorvastatin or rosuvastatin and certain COCs containing ethinyl estradiol (EE) increase AUC values for EE by approximately 20 to 25%. Ascorbic acid and acetaminophen may increase plasma EE concentrations, possibly by inhibition of conjugation. CYP3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole, grapefruit juice, or ketoconazole may increase plasma hormone concentrations.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/Hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors:
Significant changes (increase or decrease) in the plasma concentrations of estrogen and/or progestin have been noted in some cases of co-administration with HIV protease inhibitors (decrease [e.g., nelfinavir, ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir, (fos)amprenavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, and tipranavir/ritonavir] or increase [e.g., indinavir and atazanavir/ritonavir])/HCV protease inhibitors (decrease [e.g., boceprevir and telaprevir]) or with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (decrease [e.g., nevirapine] or increase [e.g., etravirine]).
7.2 Effects of Combined Oral Contraceptives on Other Drugs
- COCs containing EE may inhibit the metabolism of other compounds (e.g., cyclosporine, prednisolone, theophylline, tizanidine, and voriconazole) and increase their plasma concentrations.
- COCs have been shown to decrease plasma concentrations of acetaminophen, clofibric acid, morphine, salicylic acid, temazepam and lamotrigine. Significant decrease in plasma concentration of lamotrigine has been shown, likely due to induction of lamotrigine glucuronidation. This may reduce seizure control; therefore, dosage adjustments of lamotrigine may be necessary.
Women on thyroid hormone replacement therapy may need increased doses of thyroid hormone because the serum concentration of thyroid-binding globulin increases with use of COCs.
7.3 Interference with Laboratory Tests
The use of contraceptive steroids may influence the results of certain laboratory tests, such as coagulation factors, lipids, glucose tolerance, and binding proteins.
8.1 Pregnancy
There is little or no increased risk of birth defects in women who inadvertently use COCs during early pregnancy. Epidemiologic studies and meta-analyses have not found an increased risk of genital or non-genital birth defects (including cardiac anomalies and limb reduction defects) following exposure to low dose COCs prior to conception or during early pregnancy.
Do not administer COCs to induce withdrawal bleeding as a test for pregnancy. Do not use COCs during pregnancy to treat threatened or habitual abortion.
8.3 Nursing Mothers
Advise the nursing mother to use other forms of contraception, when possible, until she has weaned her child. COCs can reduce milk production in breastfeeding mothers. This is less likely to occur once breastfeeding is well-established; however, it can occur at any time in some women. Small amounts of oral contraceptive steroids and/or metabolites are present in breast milk.
8.4 Pediatric Use
Safety and efficacy of Tri Femynor has been established in women of reproductive age. Efficacy is expected to be the same for post-pubertal adolescents under the age of 18 and for users 18 years and older. Use of this product before menarche is not indicated.
There was no significant difference between Tri Femynor and placebo in mean change to total lumbar spine (L1-L4) and total hip bone mineral density between baseline and Cycle 13 in 123 adolescent females with anorexia nervosa in a double blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, one-year treatment duration clinical trial for the Intent-To-Treat (ITT) population.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Tri Femynor has not been studied in postmenopausal women and are not indicated in this population.
8.6 Hepatic Impairment
The pharmacokinetics of Tri Femynor has not been studied in subjects with hepatic impairment. However, steroid hormones may be poorly metabolized in patients with hepatic impairment. Acute or chronic disturbances of liver function may necessitate the discontinuation of COC use until markers of liver function return to normal and COC causation has been excluded. [See Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2).]
8.7 Renal Impairment
The pharmacokinetics of Tri Femynor has not been studied in women with renal impairment.
There have been no reports of serious ill effects from overdosage of oral contraceptives, including ingestion by children. Overdosage may cause withdrawal bleeding in females and nausea.

Malema disciplinary hearing adjourned to next weekend
South Africa's ruling ANC has adjourned the disciplinary hearing against youth leader Julius Malema until next Sunday, it said in a statement Saturday.
The case had been set to resume on Monday after the ANC's national disciplinary committee on Friday turned down a bid to have it thrown out.
Malema, an outspoken 30-year-old whose racially charged rhetoric has made him one of South Africa's most controversial figures, faces internal charges of "sowing divisions" in the African National congress and bringing the party into disrepute.
The statement said that "arguments will be heard on 11 September 2011 and a finding handed down in due course."
Three days had been set aside for the completion of the hearing, said the statement. It justified the delay the "availability of parties to the hearing".
The charge of sowing divisions comes after media reports linking Malema to a movement to oust President Jacob Zuma as party leader.
Zuma is hoping to be re-elected at the party's polls next year that will allow him to stand for a second term as president in the country's national elections in 2014.
The youth league would like to see him replaced by Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe — a change that would almost certainly make Motlanthe South Africa's next leader.
Malema was found guilty of criticising Zuma in another ANC disciplinary hearing last year, and faces possible expulsion from the party if found guilty again.
The charge of bringing the ANC into disrepute stems from his call last month for regime change in neighbouring Botswana. Malema later apologised for the remarks after a public rebuke from the ANC.
Despite his political base among impoverished blacks, Malema has become known for enjoying the high life. He lives in the upmarket Johannesburg neighbourhood of Sandton, wears a Breitling watch and has a taste for fast cars.
His wealth became the subject of a police investigation after a local newspaper reported he was the beneficiary of a trust fund that allegedly received kickbacks from businesses that won valuable government tenders.

Many moons ago, when I started this blog, I thought out in advance a sort of governing code of ethics. I do a lot of ranting, a lot of mocking. There were some ranting stories I wanted to tell, but I felt uncomfortable with them because they were stories about regular joes. Ultimately, I decided I would rant about public figures, Rolling Stone magazine's various lists, and I'd tell stories where I am the goat, but I would never write a negative story about a regular joe.
And then I met Blake.
Blake who hates water.
Blake is a server at an airport restaurant. Ursula (who recently turned 90, by the way) and I went to this restaurant while we were waiting for Evan's plane to come in. As it turned out, his flight got delayed, which was convenient, as we were at this restaurant for about a month and a half.
We arrived for an early dinner and the restaurant was close to empty. On the menu was a french dip sandwich, and Ursula shocked me by telling me she'd never had a french dip with au jus. So we decide to both order the french dip. Now, it took us awhile to come to this decision, and I start looking around for the waiter who'd seated us. He is oddly absent. (Hint, hint, this will become a theme.)
Eventually, he shows up and informs us they're out of the french dip. For the best, I say to myself, I should really get the chicken breast and veggies anyway. Blake then informs me they're out of vegetables. VEGETABLES. So then I order a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, which they can make. Riddle me that, fanfreakingtastic readers. You can make a Philly cheesesteak but you can't make a french dip and you have no vegetables. So, peppers and onions aren't vegetables? A french dip is not the exact same thing as a Philly cheesesteak minus said vegetables? Apparently not.
During the conversation wherein Blake informs us we've actually time traveled back to late 80's Soviet Russia, where there is little food and even less logic, Blake starts to give off a real punk kid kind of vibe. I didn't like him from the first but now I really don't like him. Before he leaves we ask for glasses of water. He'd successfully delivered cups of coffee when we first arrived, back when we were young and innocent. Ursula has dry mouth really badly, a relic of her past fight with thyroid cancer, and it's super hard for her to eat without water.
Ursula and I settle in to wait for our food. Several months pass. Ursula turns 91, and it's sad because no one is there to help celebrate. Finally, finally, finally, Blake returns with our food. "We really need water," I say. And then Blake says this, "I'll get to it when I can." I then watch him as he cleans off dirty tables, seats people, takes orders, and generally does everything he can do other than get our water.
Two enormous African-American men sit down behind us. They remind me tremendously of Grizz and Dot Com from 30 Rock. They sit in silence, both absorbed by their iPhones. After a certain point, I swivel around in my chair so I can watch for Blake unemcumbered. It's been a long time since my last sighting of the elusive Blake, and I don't want to miss a chance to glimpse this most rare species. When they see me turn around, the two men say, "If you want anything, you best just go get it yourself." I take it they are regulars.
And there he is! I've spotted him! Blake is approaching and I'm ready to reach out and nab him. But another woman gets him first, saying, "We've asked for our waters three times now." Blake raises his hands angrily and says, "It's going to be awhile." He leaves, and the woman and I exchange murderous looks. I think about forming a cabal to jump Blake and pummel the water out of him. Because, really, it's all about the water hate for Blake. He will consent to bring you food, even coffee. But water? The hell are you thinking? Asking for water! IT'S BENEATH HIM. And why do all this people want water, anyway? WATER IS FROM THE DEVIL.
At this point, Ursula has choked down her chicken tenders without water, and I've eaten my sandwich. I just want to get the hell out. As he walks past, intent on ignoring us, I shout that I want the bill. We wait for about another six weeks.
He brings us, simultaneously, the bill and two waters.
I hope that it goes without saying that the bill was filled with errors.

A disturbance over the Yucatan is expected to increase rain coverage on the Gulf Coast for the first half of the week. No development expected in the Gulf of Mexico.
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the Yucatan Peninsula and surrounding waters are associated with a surface trough and an upper-level disturbance located over the eastern Bay of Campeche. Locally heavy rains are likely to continue through tonight over that area. The system is forecast to move slowly northward or northeastward over the central and then northeastern Gulf of Mexico over the next few days. Although upper-level winds are currently unfavorable for development to occur, they are expected to become marginally conducive for tropical cyclone formation by late Tuesday. The disturbance is then expected to cross the southeastern United States beginning midweek, and some development will be possible once it emerges over the Atlantic waters by late this week.

A land of sweeping plains, of rugged mountain ranges, of drought and flooding rains…
– an immigrant's story
When Dorothea McKellar wrote those words more than a hundred years ago, having far horizons and jewel seas to love would have been a great lure for immigrants. Even I wanted to be a "jillaroo" when I was young as you can see!!
My early life and dreams though, were far removed from a wide brown land that I now proudly call my home.
Shenyang was my hometown, the ancient capital of the Manchus. My Chinese name, Shihui, represented my parents' wish that I would live an artistic and filial life and my nickname was "manman", which means "dancing to romantic music" and I've always done my best to live up to their traditional ideals.
I was born into a family who loved music and art. Our home was constantly filled with music, partly because mum would sing Beijing Opera, something she still loves today. My musical destiny was set, and I discovered a passion for the traditional Chinese musical instruments; I learned to play the bamboo flute, the stringed guzheng, and the haunting melodies of the gourd cucurbit flute, an ethnic instrument from Yunnan.
By the time I was ten, I was studying piano and singing at the Shenyang Conservatory of Music. Later, I began learning the aesthetics of beauty and was taking those classes too. Then at eighteen my life was turned upside-down when mum remarried. Rob, who was Dean of the Business School at a Shanghai University, was Australian, and we moved to Melbourne; I left my many childhood and university friends and began life again in a foreign country I knew nothing about, except that it had kangaroos and people who spoke English.
I had a hard time at first; I couldn't go back to university with my lack of English, so I felt lost, homesick and extremely lonely. I went to a beginner's English class at a local TAFE and met others in the same situation – migrants and refugees mainly – trying to adjust to our new lives. Thinking back now, it was hilarious, there were so many different nationalities, plus gender and cultural barriers in the classroom, that no teacher could possibly communicate with everyone and the classes usually descended into mayhem. Later, I went to other schools and of course dad spent endless tutorial hours with me.
I also taught myself English. For example, at the supermarket, I would read the labels on the jars and cereal packets out loud, then check the meaning of the words on my phone. Shopping took me a very long time and I got strange looks from other shoppers. I called these lessons "survival English". I got better.
I'm very lucky to have the family I have who always gave me their support and love, but I knew I must find a job to lessen my family's burden of worrying about me.
I bought a bicycle and would pedal to the train station a few kilometres away and catch the train to the city. My idea was to take my resume to places looking for work. Apart from blistered feet, I had no luck until one day I found a restaurant with a piano. The manager gave me a part time job on weekends playing piano from 9.00 pm until midnight for $50.00, not much, but I was very pleased with myself for finding my first job.
I usually didn't want to bother my parents to pick me up because we lived in the suburbs, but unfortunately, I had only memorised the name of my own station and could never find it on the screen, so I missed the last train time and time again and found myself stuck in the city, sometimes not getting home till the next afternoon until I learned which line my station was on. The job didn't last long because of the restaurant's failure, which was a bonus as I was losing money every day. Then I found waitressing jobs locally which was easier to manage. It was hard to give up my musical career, as a teacher and performer, but until my language improved there was no choice
I was meeting a few people and through them, their friends, so after a few years I was standing on my own feet. It was then I decided to start my own little beauty business. I called it "DreamT", it means "Tiffany's wonderful dream". Although I had to give up my music profession, I studied hard and helped many people solve their skin problems, helped them regain their self-confidence, and feel fulfilled by my second career. I still have my treasured piano at home and love the opportunity to play for myself, friends and my family sometimes.
I'm now twenty-nine and life is good, though I remember when I was desperately unhappy trying to find my way. But we say that a person who cannot tolerate small misfortunes can never accomplish great things.
These days, I'm very aware of the traumas of children who do not have my good fortune, mainly brought about by my mum's experience in labour camps in her childhood and the stories my dad told me about the wars in Cambodia and Vietnam and the children who suffered. Perhaps in a small way, by my own rather trivial struggles. I convinced my parents to launch the Sunlight Foundation Charity because I wanted to help those children who are suffering their lives in darkness with little hope of rescue. I took this conviction to my heart and put myself forward as a participant in Miss Australia International; I want to be a voice for these children. I believe life is a journey, there is only what lies ahead.

Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is growing each day rapidly in its presale, and the crypto community is excited as it looks to explode before Christmas.
The question on everyone's mind is, will Big Eyes (BIG) bring the bulls back and reach the top of the rankings with other high-ranking cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL)?
Let's see if we can predict Big Eyes' (BIG) rise to fame and what the next few months will bring.
Big Eyes Coin (BIG) – will its unique, sustainable features secure its future?
The Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is a meme coin currently growing in the 5th stage of its presale. It has raised 7.5 million at the time of writing and is set to race through its presale stages with an average of 500k per day.
The meme coin is a community token created with the aim of bringing purpose and value into the wider crypto ecosystem. This coin has got people interested and engaged from within and without the world of crypto, starting with its charitable drive to save the oceans.
The Big Eyes Coin team has earmarked 5% of its total supply of 200,000,000,000 tokens to donate to a charity that is currently working to protect and preserve our oceans and the sealife within them.
These tokens will be held in a visible charity wallet so everyone can rally around a cause that centers their future and that of the planet.
Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is making it super easy to be a part of positive, sustainable action; with its low entry barriers to investing and tax-free shopping, everyone can invest and at the same time support the continued efforts to save our natural resources.
Post Ethereum merge (ETH) – sustainable investment is winning for Big Eyes
The timing of Big Eyes' Coin (BIG) presale and subsequent launch is significant. It coincides with the Merge, which saw Ethereum (ETH) update 2.0 to proof-of-stake (PoS) systems.
This highly anticipated switch to PoS means that cryptocurrency has finally managed to adapt its systems to create a much more sustainable mining alternative.
This shift was initially started by Solana (SOL), but now that other older blockchains have also updated to PoS, there is no longer a barrier between sustainably conscious investors and crypto.
This Merge has therefore welcomed a whole new potential market to the crypto community, and Big Eyes (BIG) sustainable core values are already attracting large swathes of investors who are now at ease with the wider crypto ecosystem.
With this influx of new potential investors, it's likely that Big Eyes (BIG) will thrive. It has a long way to go before it reaches the heights of Ethereum (ETH), but with its core sustainable values and cute meme qualities, it is likely to shine in a market full of new buyers with sustainable standards.
Inflation and cost of living crisis press in – will Big Eyes be as strong and supportive as Solana?
Solana (SOL) was created to be more efficient and scalable than its predecessor Ethereum (ETH). Based on the proof-of-stake (PoS) and proof-of-history (POH), this cryptocurrency can manage 250 transactions per second. This makes it very attractive to businesses that want to streamline their global operations and finances.
With inflation and costs rising, cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL) will thrive because they can decrease costs and save people time and money, two very valuable commodities.
Big Eyes (BIG) is also keen to save people money wherever possible and create wealth for everyone. Big Eyes (BIG) has therefore canceled taxes on shopping and fees. This will help more people invest and more people join the community.
Final thoughts
There are some really good signs that Big Eyes will succeed in the current market because of its sustainable core values and community focus. I think a lot of people won't be surprised when Big Eyes Coin races up the crypto rankings.
Big Eyes is currently offering a bonus code to use when purchasing BIG tokens. Use this code to get more BIG: BEYES821

Trillium Gold Mobilizes New Drill To Newman Todd and commences major drill campaignInternet Wednesday, 28. October 2020
br />
25,000 to 30,000 metres of drilling planned across Trillium Gold\-\-s advanced and early stage projects
Multiple follow-up holes planned to test additional high-priority targets
Geological Team has increased to four full time geologists under the leadership of VP of Exploration, Bill Paterson
Continuing to explore previously untested structures and geology with attention to optimizing drilling direction
Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV:TGM) (OTCQX:TGLDF) (?Trillium? or the ?Company? – https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/trillium-gold-mines-exploring-multiple-gold-properties-in-famous-red-lake-mining-camp/) is pleased to report that the Company has initiated a major drill program at the Newman Todd Property in Red Lake along with its other earlier stage projects. This is the second phase of drilling in 2020 at Newman Todd, and it is expected to increase to more than 25,000 metres as new targeting methods demonstrate more positive results.
Rodren Drilling Ltd. of West St. Paul, Manitoba has been awarded the contract for this next phase of drilling, which is expected to continue well into 2021.
?Having built a strong team of geologists, most have spent much of their careers in Red Lake with Goldcorp and Rubicon Minerals, Trillium has assembled a team with more than 100 years of combined exploration and production experience in the Red Lake Greenstone Belt? states William Paterson, Trillium Gold?s Vice President of Exploration ?We continue to test our geological and structural concepts with this second phase of drilling. The drilling and outcrop data collected over the summer and fall should allow us to complete a targeting model for more than 1,000m of strike length within the Newman Todd Zone, and it is our expectation that our precision in targeting will increase with this better understanding? Paterson continued.
Russell Starr, CEO of Trillium Gold comments ?The initial assay results have proven to be very encouraging. We have tested new drill angles and azimuths which were not tested previously.
These are now proving to be very meaningful in understanding the mineralization controls in the camp. With multiple high-priority drill targets, we expect that we will likely increase the phase one drill program from the current 8,000 metres to over 25,000 metres by drilling these carefully thought-out drill holes.?
Results from the remainder of the Phase One drilling program continued to show positive outcomes. Hole NT20-171, again drilled opposite to the majority of the historical drilling, was designed to test the north-eastern end of the Newman Todd Zone and returned 5.14 g/t gold (Au) over 3.85m from 72.4m depth in a sulphidized, cherty, magnetite iron formation. Hole NT20-172, testing the south-western extension of the Newman Todd Zone, showed visible gold at 158.62m in quartz veining and assayed 16.8 g/t Au over 0.3m from 158.57m depth.
The full set of significant assay composite results from Phase One is included in the Table below
Bolded assay composites are new and not previously reported.
The Newman Todd Zone is currently a 2.2 km long and up-to- 200-metre-wide structural target which is situated in the Red Lake Gold Camp. Drilling from 2013 and earlier had mostly focused on testing the zone by targeting the footwall with drilling toward the southeast, now known to be sub-parallel to gold mineralized veining and structures, potentially missing high-grade intersections or undercutting much of the targeted zone. Newman Todd is a highly prospective target with 41% of the 165 historic drill holes having intervals of greater than 20 g/t gold over various lengths. In addition, nearly all drilling has been to depths less than 400m. The Red Lake Camp is famously known for high grade gold mineralization at depth with Evolution Mining?s Red Lake Gold Mine currently reaching depths of several thousands of feet. Trillium will continue to test various drill orientations in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of the mineralization and structural controls and test the depth potential of the Newman Todd Zone. Figure 1 below shows the location of the Newman Todd Project as well as its relative location to the producing and past producing mines within the Red Lake Camp.
The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by William Paterson QP, PGeo, VP of Exploration of Trillium Gold Mines., as defined by NI 43-101.
All drilling was supervised by Paul Barc, PGeo. Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core facility on site.?Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to the SGS Laboratory in Red Lake, ON, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. All samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 10.0?g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods.?Duplicate assays of approximately 5% of the samples are also obtained from the coarse reject of the original sample. Selected samples with results greater than 1 ounce per ton are also analyzed with a standard 1?kg metallic screen fire assay.?Certified gold reference standards and blanks are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Trillium Gold?s quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC).?No QAQC issues were noted with the results reported herein. All drill intercepts reported are down-hole core lengths.

In order to send or receive the gifts in Fortnite, at least you have to enable the Two Factor Authentication feature on your Epic Games account. Even though it is a simple way to do but in fact there are many users who seem indisposed to enable it. Then, you may also wonder whether you can receive the gifts without enabling 2FA or not. Check the facts out!
Receive the gifts in Fortnite by enabling the 2FA
Of course, we emphasize that you totally can receive the gifts in Fortnite after enabling the 2FA on your account. It means that you cannot receive or send the gifts in Fortnite if you do not enable the 2FA first. In other words, without enabling 2FA, you cannot receive the gifts in Fortnite.
Well, here are some facts you should know for gifting's system in Fortnite:
- You should enable Two-Factor Authentication before you send a gift.
- You have to reach level 2 or higher before sending a gift.
- You already have at least one friend for 48 hours before you can send a gift.
- The gift cannot be refunded.
- You can only gift three times to different friends within a 24 hour period.
- A gift can be sent which is currently available in the Fortnite Item Shop.
Well, those are some requirements that you should notice when you want to receive or send a gift in Fortnite.
Of course, not all items can be sent as a gift in Fortnite. Some of them are forbidden items to send as a gift. Here are some items that you can't send as a Fortnite gift:
- V-Bucks
- Battle Passes
- Offers that use real money
- Items are not currently in the Item Shop
- Items are already in your Locker
To note, all gifts are non-refundable items so make sure to not refund the gift.
The gifting feature is exclusively available in some platforms including Android, PC, PlayStation, Switch and Xbox One. Say sorry for iOS users, you definitely cannot send and also receive a gift. Well, the gifting feature is not available on iOS as Apple's policies prohibit it.
How to send a gift to your friends after enabling the 2FA?
You may also wonder how to send a gift to your friend after enabling the 2FA on your Epic Games account. If you are really interested in sending a gift to your friends, let's follow some ways below!
- First, make sure that you've enabled the 2FA on your Epic Games account.
- Then, go to the Fortnite in-game store.
- Now, you will be presented with two option: "Purchase Items" and "Buy As A Gift"
- Because you want to send a gift to your friends, make sure to choose the "Buy As A Gift" option.
- Make sure to select one recipient from your friends list.
- Once you choose the option, you can add a custom message if you want.
- Then, send it and you are totally done to send a gift to your friend.
- Finally, you will see the gifting pop-up screen in which you successfully sent a special gift to your friends in Fortnite.
Congratulations! Your friend now receives the gift that you sent.
Getting an error to send a gift!
However, there are some reasons why you are getting errors when you want to send a gift to your friends. Here they are:
- You'll fail when you try to give an item to a player who already has that item.
- You just can send a gift at least 5 gifts per day. If you exceed the total amount of gifts, we guarantee that you will fail to gift. To enable it back at least you need to wait for 24 hours before you're able to send more gifts.
- If you are trying to send a gift to your friends which you have for less than three days, the gifting will totally fail. Moreover, you should already have at least one friend for 48 hours before you can send a gift.
Here's how to enable the 2FA!
Well, how to enable the Two Factor Authentication on Epic Games account? So, let's follow multiple ways in enabling the 2FA below!
- First thing first, go to official Epic Games site at epicgames.com
- Once you access the site, log into your Fortnite account
- After that, you need to open account settings at the top right of the screen.
- In this step, select PASSWORD AND SECURITY.
- Scroll to the bottom until you find Two-Factor Authentication Menu.
- Here, you can see three methods to enable the 2FA, including Enable Authenticator App, Enable SMS Authentication and Enable Email Authentication.
- Make sure to choose one of them or you can try one-by-one if needed.
- After that, you can follow for the next steps until the 2FA is successfully enabled.
- After you have enabled the 2FA, you certainly will get a security code over a short period of the time.
- Moreover, the security code here will be sent to you depending on the verification method that you can choose in your account settings.
- After you receive the security code, of course, there is none who can login to your account even if they have your email and password to log in.
- Finally, enabling the 2FA on your Epic Games account is successfully done.
Well, that's a great way to make your account still safe and secure, isn't it?
Now, it is a good time for you to protect your account from unwanted things at all. Ensure to follow our ways without any missing steps.
Get the rewards after enabling the 2FA!
After you enabled the Two Factor Authentication on your Epic Games account, you absolutely will get:
For Fortnite Battle Royale: You'll unlock the Boogie Down Emote.
For Save the World mode: You'll unlock some rewards including:
- 1 Legendary Troll stash Llama,
- 50 Armory Slots
- 10 Backpack Slots
Unfortunately, if the rewards are not showing, you can try to restart Fortnite. The reward fails to be claimed is generally caused by any Fortnite's system issue. So it's better for you to restart the Fortnite app as soon as possible after enabling the 2FA.

Driving up to the William P Hobby Airport in Houston TX is a visually stunning experience. The columns, canopies, and reflective windows exude clean, futuristic, high-tech modernity. The lines are dynamic, the angles are sharp, and the Y-shaped columns have a beautifully implicit aeronautical influence.
The process for Hobby Airport was unique in that we sent individual fab tickets to confirm the dimensions of every panel with the customer before fabricating. We gathered and planned these dimensions from a combination of shop drawings, field measurements, and 3D ExactSite™ scans of the building.
The architect's initial vision and the limitations of metal panels yielded several rounds of revisions. MDSI made adjustments to panel sizes to ensure that grain direction and joint lines were aesthetically pleasing and not distracting from the architect's design.
The engineering and geometry of the canopy feature presented challenges in panel fit and performance. We encountered some substrate surfaces that required panels to be adjusted onsite to fit the contour of the substrate. However, the use of the 3D model helped us to anticipate and avoid most of these situations.
All in all, MDSI is proud to have contributed to such a beautiful project.
Project details
- // Number of Panels: 2135
- // Square Feet of Material: 61239
- // MDSi System(s) Used: 20
- // Color(s) Used: Bone White - Titanium Metallic
- // Year Completed: 2017
- // Location: Houston, TX

I started reading this comic a long time ago but got sidetracked with other things. Is this the VERY beginning of the comic and is every page posted? I'd like to know because I need to start re-reading it from the very beginning so I won't be lost when I get caught up with the current page (whichever one that is when I get caught up).

The Apples in Stereo – Science Faire
This one is too good not to mention. Basically the impetus, the spark of life of the Elephant 6 rests in this release. E6-001 is The Apples' (as they were known then) first EP, Tidal Wave (though really its just an eponymous EP). This is the seed that built an empire without walls. E6, for those that couldn't get enough resurgent psychedelia in the '90s, brought back a homegrown and humming version of the chiming, fuzzed, chatchy-as-hell and slightly freaked out version of the '60s that we never got to experience. Robert Schneider's adhoc collective, that would become a label/not label began here and would eventually sprout the Olivia Tremor Controls, Neutral Milk Hotels and Circulatory Systems that would burn just as bright as that first EP, if not brighter. But his is where it started. I grabbed this, now sorely out of print CD in the late '90s and it was one of the introductions to the family of Elephants, that begat a longtime obsession.
Science Faire culled together the eponymous Apples EP, The Hypnotic Suggestion EP on Bus Stop Records, a split with OTC on Small-Fi, a split with Sportsguitar, and a split with The Heartworms. All of these are restored into a 7″ box that replicates the original art and tactile feel of the originals on their intended short form format. There are a ton of other inserts reproduced from the original runs here, as would befit any product produced by Chunklet. The label has been instrumental in getting some of the early and seminal E6 material back into print and its clear that the original members trust Owings with their legacy. This box is full of Apples gems that speak to the long run that Schneider and co. had, perfecting the jangly, fuzzed nugget for all it was worth. There are a lot of reissues in any given year, but few have this kind of attention to detail and connection to the source material. This one's on the essential list, for sure.
