Weekly Horoscope: 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope for All Zodiac Signs
18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope: Take a look at the weekly horoscope of and discover what awaits you for this week. Get Free Weekly Horoscope of December 2017.
Weekly Aries 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
Even if nothing of importance takes place this week, that Saturn reaches the zenith of its solar chart (20) and joins the Sun the next day says a lot about the abrupt turn that life is about to take. The March Arians will be the first to experience the rewards and challenges that this planet brings, mainly with respect to professional and life goals, but the Aries team is advised to sharpen their swords and line up from this moment. Saturn is not the fun bunny of the solar system, so do not be surprised if the joy of Christmas seems a little muffled this week. Face a difficulty, work hard and honour your elders, and soon you will feel the joy.
Weekly Taurus 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
The area of distant horizons is har boring the Sun and Saturn; the first for only four weeks and the second for more than two years. So, if you find yourself immersed in a conversation about your plans and future arrangements that would challenge a troop of soldiers, you will be testing for the first time what will come. This is not a particularly easy week, and if you go on vacation, you may find long delays and other types of frustrations. Keep reminding yourself that everything is part of "fun" Christmas. On Saturday, Mercury becomes direct and, from that moment, you will find communications of all kinds much, much simpler.
Weekly Gemini 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
More than one astrological development is a radical change, first of all when it comes to money, which can be immediately recognisable or could take a few more weeks. The entry of Saturn into one of the key financial zones of your solar chart will make a difference in the role that money plays in your life and in a relationship. While there is a possibility that the funds are more difficult to obtain, the next few months will also allow you to form a solid trade association. Since this is the season of generosity and jubilation if Saturn could speak, I would probably advise you to keep the funds saved in reserve for a rainy day, which may well come at the end of January.
Weekly Cancer 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
Well, this is: the great moment. Saturn enters your opposite sign and during the course of the next few years it will help you to put your life on a firmer path. Saturn in his best role is the great architect and engineer, which allows him to build solid structures, however, this process often involves a painful lesson or two. If you are currently contemplating marriage or joining / forming a company, you are absolutely in tune with your stars; Similarly, if you are discovering more and more defects in a work or romantic relationship, it is necessary to address the writing on the wall, and sooner rather than later. The first ten days of January are powerful, to say the least.
Weekly Leo 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
Mercury takes the course just before Christmas Eve, so it's worth waiting until the last moment before assuming that an event is off or that someone is not interested in communicating with you. Trips, on the other hand, can still be tried a little on Saturday. The entry of Saturn into his own sign will allow him to participate in the field work, especially with work-related efforts, but he can also reveal the drawbacks of a job that, in his heart, he already knows is not his true calling. This Christmas may be too early to put together a master plan for your great career, but it's not too early to start taking notes …
Weekly Virgo 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
Saturn's residence at the base of his table has made everything related to home, family and property a long day of night travel; now this planet is moving to help you to be noticed and taken more seriously; the hopes can be brought to reality. The next couple of years can still produce an occasional setback, but, especially with regards to the loves and the efforts close to your heart, such obstacles have a useful purpose. You want perfection, right? The period leading up to the festivities may lack some sparkle this year, but you can establish what is real, who really is worth it, and what really counts.
Weekly Libra 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
Saturn's arrival at the base of his solar chart marks the beginning of a period of two and a half years in which he should be able Take root and establish the cornerstones of your future. The process of build a stronger and more stable future for you and your family not It will always be easy, it is never the way of Saturn, but with what you end up. They have been worth all the effort. To celebrate this important occasion, do one thing intention to add substance to your life, and at least make a promise that Whatever is necessary, no matter how long it takes, you will never give up.
Weekly Scorpio 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
On Wednesday, Saturn leaves the financial zone of his solar chart and moves forward to help him acquire knowledge and skills that will give him a better lifestyle and a larger platform. Fortunately, the lessons he learned from this planetary director with respect to money will be useful for the investment in his talent to present few financial problems. On the other hand, if this planet has left you little in your piggy bank, expanding your knowledge and skills is still the way of the future. During the weekend, Mercury turns direct lightening into a mystery and allows you to go from A to B without constant delays and detours.
Weekly Sagittarius 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
This is one of the most important weeks of 2017. A full moon in its sign (the only one this year) inspires closure and completion, and with Saturn leaving Sagittarius (Wednesday), the end of a chapter is extensive in its stars . Maybe there is no event to commemorate this great occasion, but if you encounter an obstacle of some kind, see it as Saturn's farewell gift. However, one more lesson to keep in mind before school ends! However, you may not yet feel the Christmas spirit, but instead of fighting the tide, try to correct the mistakes, even if that means simply being in touch with someone you have not talked to for a while.
Weekly Capricorn 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
Twenty-nine long years have passed since Saturn adorned your signal, so prepare the welcome car on Wednesday morning. Get this passage on the right foot. In theory, Saturn will add substance to his life in the coming years, but surely there will be a period in which he will believe otherwise. Think of this moment and the events that occur as a coming of age through which you will emerge wiser, stronger and more compassionate. Next week is not the brightest and brightest of the year, and surely there will be someone acting like Scrooge. Take everything in your step. Put on those Saturn boots of yours.
Weekly Aquarius 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
If it seems that everyone, except you, is having the best time, accept it to the Sun-Saturn conjunction, which is at its peak on Thursday. Persistent doubts or seemingly insoluble problems can be even more pressing, but once this aspect has faded in the distance, you will feel much more positive. On the contrary, if you are one of the Aquarius who feels blessed by good fortune, do your best to not lose control of duties and realities that could burst your bubble if you forget to deal with them now. A style in time is a cliche for a good reason.
Weekly Pisces 18th to 24th December 2017 Horoscope
The journey of Saturn through the area of professional goals and life has come to an end, but this planet has not abandoned its horoscope: it is moving towards the area of collaborations. From now on, it will be important not only to make a living, but also to experience job satisfaction, and working in a friendly and cooperative environment will be conducive to your success. It may even be that next week's events reveal how important this is. The conjunction of Thursday between the Sun and Saturn may not be the happiest time of the year, but what happens at this time will allow you to sort some priorities and set the stage for a productive 2018.

The Director's NotesWhen I first read about the news report on an armless girl student who kept forging ahead in spite of her adversity, I was moved to tears.
There was also news about university students who committed suicide. Those who could otherwise be valuable participants in building the society instantly became the eternal sorrow of their parents. What in the world did they lack in their spirit?
There are hundreds of millions of teenagers in China. They enjoy the richness and serenity of life. Their living conditions are becoming better and better. But in the face of setbacks and adversities of life, are they mentally ready?
What films do we choose for our children to see, so that their genius can be revealed in adversity instead of being concealed in fortune, and that their tender hearts can be hammered healthier?
In view of this, my wife Zhao Huili and I decided to do this story and we spent two years working on the script and finally put it onto the silver screen. Through the story of an armless girl who is not mentally down while physically disabled and studies hard to repay her mother's kindness, we try to present the purely Chinese special terms of endearment between mother and daughter, explore a deep theme of humans challenging the limits of life and display the splendor of humanity and life in their extremes.
In the making of this movie, we overcame all kinds of difficulties and used up all our family savings. Our persistence moved the leaders of the China Disabled Persons' Federation and many friends like Wang Meng and An Zhen, whose help was instrumental in the smooth completion of this film. In the making of this movie, the crew members were often moved to applaud and tears.
Dear audience, in seeing this movie, if you are somewhat moved or if you still remember some of the scenes in the film after three years, that will be the best affirmation and prize to our work.

Yes I could bore you to death rhapsodizing about the huge slab of chocolate cake at the restaurant at the Mondrian, and don't worry, I will (it's disgusting, in a word), but the best meals my out of town guests and a few lucky fair-goers and I had were at some local favorites. And so I trade in the 'usual suspects' for my own list of 'UNusual suspects'. Starting with the required trip down to Li'l Havana for some 'Cuban' cigars. And that brought us to 'Mi Rinconcito', about which I've rhapsodized many times, including in the Miami SunPost http://www.miamisunpost.com/1025bites.htm , and elsewhere on this blog.
The new and improved Mi Rinconcito is still the best Mexican food in Miami. The special the other day was 'Tortitas de Pollo en Salsa Verde con Nopales'. I did not know what to expect so I was surprised at what looked like crabcakes, but with chicken (the waitress had described them as "like chicken meatballs", which they weren't at all). The 'nopales' are fresh cactus that is first boiled and then cut into strips, and laid over the chicken patties, which are basically poached chicken breasts that are shredded, formed into a patty with egg whites, and then finished on the grill (or griddle, if you prefer). The nopales really reminded me of okra, which I love, but a little less slimy. Incredible. Also the green sauce was just like I had remembered it, smooth and spicy. The chicken held its flavor, and had a crunchy crust that was an added bonus.
This restaurant has doubled in size, but the service has stayed smooth and friendly, and, just as importantly, the Tecate is still frosty and inexpensive. One of the best restaurants on Calle Ocho, incidentally, and a nice break from Cuban food. More to come on their holiday treats. They have added a bakery and have one of the most interesting dessert items I've eaten this year, corn cheesecake. As I have said earlier, incredible.
The one on the top left is the corn cheesecake, which they also sell by the slice.

Learning to read can be a daunting task. Writer Ruth Rocha and illustrator Madalena Matoso, have done a phenomenal job in immersing the reader in a journey that is wondrous and enlightening. LINES, SQUIGGLES, LETTERS, WORDS was born in Brazil, but with a little help by translator Lyn Miller-Lachmann, can now be enjoyed by children this side of the equator.
The story is so simple in its telling, yet so powerful in its execution. At the centre of the book is Pedro, a little boy who is very observant. He hasn't yet learnt to read, but as he looks out into the world, he is bombarded with messages and visuals everywhere. None of it makes any sense to him. Imagine his frustration. Despite his mom's attempt to assign meaning to these random posters, billboards and signs, all Pedro can see around him is a bunch of squiggles, and drawings, which apparently represent various things.
Then one day a wonderful thing happens. Pedro's teacher showed the class a big colourful board. The big A she writes on the board starts to slowly take on meaning in Pedro's mind.
What a wonderful adventure it is for the reader, as they step into a brand new realization of knowledge and intrigue. I felt like a kid again exploring and understanding the world, one letter at a time.
Very rarely do I come across a children's book that absolutely floors me. Ruth Rocha's LINES, SQUIGGLES, LETTERS, WORDS is conceptually smart and visually engaging. The perfect marriage of words and images.

OSIsoft releases security update in PI Web API 2017 R2 SP1
The PI Web API 2017 R2 release introduced a potential escalation of privilege vulnerability if the server instance is configured to use both Kerberos and Basic as authentication methods. This vulnerability does not apply to installations of the PI Web API 2017 R2 configured with a single authentication method, such as Kerberos authentication or Basic authentication.
OSIsoft recommends upgrading the affected software package to address this vulnerability issue. The resolved issue was rated Critical (CVSS 9.0 - 10.0) using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would allow access to the PI System in context of the service account user.
Exploitation of this vulnerability would not allow the attacker access to the underlying operating system.
Affected Software
This issue applies to PI Web API 2017 R2 only, and in a configuration where both Basic authentication and Kerberos authentication are used. PI Web API 2017 R2 is installed with either the PI Vision 2017 R2 installation kit or with the PI AF Services 2017 R2 installation kit.
By default, PI Web API configuration has only Kerberos authentication specified. There are three main use cases where the non-default configuration of using both Kerberos authentication and Basic authentication is appilcable:
Case (1): PI Vision WITH non-Windows, non-domain, or mobile clients AND using Events Table and XY Plot.
Case (2): Custom PI Web API applications WITH non-Windows, non-domain, or mobile clients AND using the indexed search feature.
Case (3): Custom PI Web API applications WITH non-Windows, non-domain, or mobile clients AND domain clients.
To check which authentication methods are configured on your instance of PI Web API, enter the request URL below and replace the example FQDN with the server name for your PI Web API instance:
Upgrade to PI Web API 2017 R2 SP1, which addresses this vulnerability. PI Web API 2017 R2 SP1 is available in the PI Vision 2017 R2 Update 1 installation kit for PI Vision deployments or through the PI AF Services 2017 R2 Update 1 installation kit for other deployments.
Kerberos-only authentication is the recommended configuration for all releases of PI Web API.
When OSIsoft issued this security bulletin was it aware of this vulnerability being exploited?
No exploits to this vulnerability have been reported.
Defensive Measures
To fully address this issue, OSIsoft recommends upgrading to PI Web API 2017 R2 SP1, as this security update addresses this vulnerability. If upgrading is not an option, there are defensive measures available to reduce exposure.
Authentication Methods
This issue is only exposed when Basic authentication is used in conjunction with Kerberos authentication. Using one of the following approaches is recommended as a defensive measure:
Configure Kerberos only
More secure, retain SSO for domain users.
Non-domain, mobile or non-Windows users will in most cases be unable to authenticate with Kerberos.
Configure Basic only
Non-domain, mobile or non-Windows users will be able to authenticate.
Less-secure and will not support SSO.
In cases
(1) & (2)
the indexed search crawler will be unable to update the index without Kerberos.
Use two PI Web API installations: a data access instance with basic and one with Kerberos to update the search index
Functionality, compatibility and security is preserved.
Additional administrative burden of configuring and managing additional installation.
Use different port than PI Vision for PI Web API and block remote connections to that port. (
LiveLibrary Instructions
Preserves most functionality for non-domain, mobile or non-Windows users.
Only practical in case
. Events Table and XY Plot will no longer be accessible to non-domain, mobile or non-Windows users.
PI Web API configuration data is stored in the PI AF Configuration database. For more information on setting PI Web API configuration settings, see
PI Web API configuration
in Live Library.
Least Privilege
Configure least privilege mappings in the PI System for the PI Web API service account user. While this does not remove exposure to the vulnerability, it can reduce the impact if exploited. If the PI Web API service account user is a domain account, the implicit default mappings are to the Everyone and PIWorld PI identities, which typically serve read-only access roles. Since the PI Web API impersonates requests, the service account does not require read access to data to function.
Communications Whitelisting
Use a host-based firewall to limit access to PI Web API port 443 to only trusted workstations and software.
Please consult your IT engineer for advice on how to best implement these firewall restrictions in your organization's architecture.
General Considerations
Microsoft provides general guidance and information regarding
authentication, which is more secure than

Travel Tips And General Information For Your Trip To Vietnam
Vietnam covers and area of 330,363 sq. km and is about as big as Italy or New Mexico. The country has three main geographic regions - the tropical south dominated by the Mekong River estuary, the dry central region, and the more temperate north comprising the Red River delta and mountain highlands.
Vietnam's climate is very diverse because the country covers a wide range of latitudes and altitudes.
The North: The cold season is between November and April when average temperatures are around 60°F/16°C and it is often wet and chilly. In the hot period, between May and October, the average temperature is about 86°F/30°C.
Central: Central Vietnam offers a combination of climates: that of the north and the south of Vietnam. The southern part has less rainfall and the temperatures are similar to those in the south. The northern part has more rain and significant changes in temperature. The rainy season in the center lasts from September to December. Especially during the months of October and November central Vietnam is hit by typhoons with strong winds and heavy downpours.
The South: The temperatures in the south are constant all year, ranging from 77-86°F/25-30°C. The dry season is from November to April and the wet period from May to October.
Vietnam has 76.5 million inhabitants, and ethnic Vietnamese constitute almost 90% of the population. Originating in what is now southern China and northern Vietnam, the Vietnamese people pushed southward over several centuries to occupy the entire eastern seacoast of the Indochinese Peninsula. This expansion began in 939 AD, after a millennium of Chinese occupation. Although Vietnamese culture was strongly influenced by traditional Chinese civilization, the struggle for political independence from China developed a strong sense of national identity in the Vietnamese people. Nearly 100 years of French rule (1858-1954) introduced important European elements, but the Vietnamese still attach great importance to the family and continue to observe rites honoring their ancestors, indicating the persistence of tradition.
Various ethnic groups make up the remaining 10% of the population, with the approximately 1.2 million Chinese, concentrated in southern Vietnam, being the most numerous. The second largest minority, the southern Montagnards (mountain people) comprises two main ethno-linguistic groups - Malayo-Polynesian and Mon-Khmer. About 30 groups of various cultures and dialects are spread over the highland territory. The third largest minority is the Khmer Krom (Cambodians), numbering about 600,000, who are concentrated in the southern provinces near the Cambodian border and at the mouth of the Mekong River. Most are farmers. Other minority groups include Cham (remnants of the once-mighty Kingdom of Champa, destroyed by the Vietnamese in the 16th century).
Vietnam supports adherents of all the major world religions, as well as followers of religions that are peculiarly Vietnamese: Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism, Protestant and Catholic Christianity, Taoism, Confucianism, Islam, Cao Daism, Hoa Hao and Hinduism. In addition spirit and ancestor worship, To Tien, is also practiced. Confucianism is probably the most pervasive doctrine of all.
Art & Architecture
The first flourishing of Vietnamese art occurred with the emergence of the Dongson culture on the coast of Annam and Tonkin between 500 and 200 BC. The inspiration for the magnificent bronzes produced by the artists of Dongson originated from China: the decorative motifs have clear affinities with earlier Chinese bronzes. At the same time, the exceptional skill of production and decoration argues that these pieces represent among the first, and finest, of South-East Asian works of art. This is most evident in the huge and glorious bronze drums that can be seen in museums in both Hanoi and Saigon. If there was ever a 'golden' period of the Vietnamese art and architecture it was that of the former central Vietnamese kingdom of Champa, centered on the Annamite coast. It flowered in the 10th and 11th centuries. Only 20 of 250 former sites have survived the intervening centuries, the most famous being My Son and Dong Duong. Characteristic of Vietnamese art and architecture are the pagodas and palaces at Hue and in and around Hanoi, although Chinese prototypes are evident.
The Vietnamese language has a reputation for being fiendishly difficult to master. Its origins are still the subject of dispute - at one time thought to be a Sino-Tibetan language (because it is tonal), it is now believed to be Austro-Asiatic and related to Mon-Khmer. During the 9th century, when Vietnam was under Chinese domination, Chinese ideograms were adapted for use with the Vietnamese language. The script - chu nho ('scholar script') was used in all official correspondence and in literature until the 20th century, though whether this replaced an earlier writing system is not known. As early Vietnamese nationalists tried to break away from Chinese cultural dominance in the late 13th century, they devised their own script, based on Chinese ideograms, but adapted to meet Vietnamese language needs. This became known as chu nom or 'vulgar script'. Therefore, while Chinese words formed the learned vocabulary of the intelligentsia - largely inaccessible to the people on the street or in the paddy field - non-Chinese words made up a parallel popular vocabulary. Since World War One the Latin-based quoc ngu script has become widely used.
Dance & Theatre
Classical Vietnamese theatre, known as hat boi, shows links with the classical theatre of China. Since the partition of the country in 1954, there has developed what might be termed 'revolutionary realist' theatre and classical Vietnamese theatre is almost defunct today. However, the most original theatrical art form in Vietnam is mua roi muoc or water puppet theatre. Plays are based on historical or religious themes: the origins of the Viet nation, legends, village life and acts of heroism. Some include the use of fireworks - especially during battle scenes - while folk opera singers and traditional instruments accompany all performances. Performances usually begin with the clown, Teu, taking the stage and acting as a linking character between the various scenes.
The Vietnamese used to greet one another by clasping their hands, prayer-like, in front of their faces and bowing slightly. Unfortunately, this charming custom has been replaced by the handshake. When trying to gain the attention of a Vietnamese, try not to point or gesture excessively. This is regarded as rude. Call out their names if possible, if not beckon by using the whole hand, palm downwards. Again, as in the other countries of South-East Asia, do not touch people on the head as it is regarded as spiritually the 'highest' part of the body. Expect to be the center of attention outside Saigon, Hanoi and the main tourist centers. React accordingly and be a good ambassador.
Holidays & Festivals
Participating in Vietnamese festivals is the best way to experience the culture and tradition of the country. These festivals are an expression of a truly distinct culture accessible and close to all.
It is strongly recommended that you carry a small first aid kit with you, even if you are traveling on business. In the event of an accident or emergency health problem in Vietnam, you should have a travel insurance policy with coverage that includes emergency evacuation to Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok for treatment. Medical attention in Vietnam is reasonable, but equipment and medicines are in chronic short supply.
No vaccinations are officially required by the Vietnamese authorities, but immunization against cholera, hepatitis, typhoid, tetanus, polio, and Japanese encephalitis is advised. Rabies is widespread in Vietnam, so you are advised to avoid dogs and other animals that may bite as a precaution.
Malaria is widespread in Vietnam, especially in the Central Highlands and some parts of the Mekong Delta. The best protection against malaria is to avoid being bitten in the first place. Check with your physician about taking a course of anti-malarials. If it is considered necessary given your itinerary, you might need to begin before your trip and continue for a time after you return.
Dengue fever, which is also transmitted by mosquitoes, is often mistaken for malaria. Its symptoms are severe pain in the joints, high fever, and extreme headache. Aside from avoiding being bitten altogether (this mosquito is active in daytime and is often a striped variety), there is no prevention available. Hospital treatment is urgently required.
Food & Water
As with most underdeveloped countries, stomach upsets and diarrhea are a common problem and can ruin a visit. Most problems stem from contaminated water. Unless it has been thoroughly boiled, do not drink tap water. You should also avoid ice in drinks, especially in the countryside. Imported bottled water is available in most cities, but beware of bottles that have been refilled with tap water. Soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are fine and in hotels you can use the hot water in your room to make Chinese tea. You should have no problems with thoroughly cooked food, but stay clear of anything that looks like it has been reheated from a previous meal. Take care with seafood and avoid undercooked meat. Only eat fruit that you have peeled yourself, but salads should be given a miss.
In 111 BC ancestors of the present-day Vietnamese who inhabited part of what is now southern China and northern Vietnam were conquered by forces of China's Han dynasty. Chinese rule lasted more than 1000 years (until 939 AD) when the Vietnamese ousted their conquerors and began a southward expansion that, by the mid-18th century, reached the Gulf of Siam. Despite their military achievements the Vietnamese continued to suffer from internal political divisions. Throughout most of the 17th and 18th centuries, contending families in the north and south struggled to control the powerless kings of the Le dynasty.
Vietnam was reunited following a devastating civil war in the 18th century but soon fell prey to the expansion of European colonialism. The French conquest of Vietnam began in 1858 with an attack on what is now the city of Danang.
Fiercely nationalistic, the Vietnamese never truly accepted the imposition of French rule. By 1930, the Vietnamese Nationalist Party had staged the first significant armed uprising against the French, but its virtual destruction in the ensuing French repression left the leadership of the anti-colonial movement to those more adept at underground organization and survival - the communists.
A prolonged three-way struggle ensued among the Vietnamese communists (led by Ho Chi Minh), the French, and the Vietnamese nationalists (nominally led by Emperor Bao Dai). Ho Chi Minh's Viet Minh forces fought a highly successful guerrilla campaign and eventually controlled much of rural Vietnam. The French military disaster at Dien Bien Phu in May 1954 and the conference at Geneva, where France signed the Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities in Vietnam on July 20, 1954, marked the end of the eight-year war and French colonial rule in Indochina.
By 1963 the Vietnamese communists had made significant progress in building a strong network of supporters in South Vietnam. Nevertheless, in 1964 Hanoi decided that the Viet Cong (VC) cadres and their supporters were not sufficient to take advantage of the political confusion following the overthrow of Diem in November 1963. Hanoi ordered regular troops of the North Vietnamese army (People's Army of Vietnam - PAVN) into South Vietnam, first as 'fillers' in VC units, then in regular formations. The first regimental units were dispatched in the autumn of 1964. By 1968, PAVN forces were enduring most combat on the communist side.
In December 1961 President Diem requested assistance from the United States. President Kennedy sent US military advisers to South Vietnam to help the government deal with the instability that plagued the southern part of Vietnam. By the spring of 1969 the United States had reached its greatest troop strength - 543,000 - in Vietnam.
While the United States withdrew from ground combat by 1971, it still provided air and sea support to the South Vietnamese until the signing of the ceasefire agreements. The peace agreement was concluded on January 27, 1973. At the beginning of 1975, the North Vietnamese began a major offensive in the South that succeeded in breaking through the central highlands defenses. After taking over provincial capitals in that area, a combination of forces from the demilitarized zone area and the highlands led to the withdrawal of South Vietnamese forces.
For the first few months after the war, separate governments were maintained in the northern and southern parts of the country. However, in mid-November 1975, the decision to reunify the country was announced, despite the vast social and economic differences remaining between the two sections. The assembly ratified the reunification of the country and on July 2 renamed it the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV). It also appointed a committee to draft a new constitution for the entire country.
The currency of Vietnam is the Dong. All goods and services can and should be paid for in Dong. Exceptions are made in hotels and when buying international air tickets. Shops and restaurants in the bigger cities will also accept US dollars, but you should be aware of the fact that usually a lower exchange rate will be used. It is therefore advisable to change a certain amount of Vietnamese Dong to cover your day-to-day expenses.
Must be in US dollars. You can change them to Dong or to US dollars (with a 2% commission). Those issued by American Express, Bank of America, Citicorp, First National City Bank, Thomas Cook, and Visa are accepted. They are also accepted at major tourist hotels, but not in most shops. Vietnam is still very much a cash economy. Credit Cards
Visa, Mastercard and - with exceptions - American Express are accepted in virtually every hotel in major cities throughout the country, as well as in upmarket restaurants especially in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Vietnam is not yet a shopping paradise like Hong Kong or Bangkok, but there still a huge variety of souvenirs and traditional handicrafts available. Popular buys include lacquer ware, ceramics, embroidery, silk and paintings.
As with most countries, the Vietnamese Government does not allow the export of any item of historic or cultural significance. Saigon has the best buys for modern goods like CDs and clothing.
The Vietnam of today is influenced not only by its ancient traditions and culture but also by its checkered and often tragic past. Vietnam is finding its way back to its ancient roots of serenity and family oriented lifestyle. Experience a country still unspoiled and tolerant, a country quite unique in the world.
Vietnam's lovely capital contradicts the prejudices we have of socialist cities: the beautiful old center with its narrow alleys and wide tree-lined boulevards are reminiscent of French small towns. The French colonial period left much deeper marks than 40 years of socialism.
Halong Bay
This bay is one of the most impressive landscapes on earth: thousands of small islands and limestone cliffs full of caves and caverns in emerald-green waters make the legend seem true: that on his flight into the sea a dragon left this beautiful piece of nature behind. Legend also has it that he still lives there but until he re-appears you can enjoy the peace and tranquility on an all-day boat trip.
Dien Bien Phu
In the far northwest of Vietnam near the Laotian border in a beautiful valley, the last and decisive battle with the French was fought in 1954. The journey to this remote region passes through impressive and picturesque mountain terrain with glimpses of ethnic villages - a very special experience.
Hoa Binh
The capital of the province of the same name is the starting-point for excursions to the Muong and the Thai - minorities still living in their traditional pile-dwellings. See traditional dances and taste traditional tribal food prepared especially for visitors from afar.
Cuc Phuong National Park
The largest national park of Vietnam is home to unique flora and fauna and several of the species are no longer found anywhere else in the world. Excursions under the expert guidance of park rangers help visitors experience this unique habitat. The park includes the largest jungles remaining in Vietnam.
This imperial city was the cultural and intellectual center of Vietnam. The old imperial palace, the citadel and the Thien Mu Pagoda which is one of Vietnam's landmarks are only a few examples of the sights of Hue. There is also a boat trip down the Perfumed River, which leads to the six impressive imperial tombs.
The road from Danang to Hue crosses the famous Pass of Ocean Clouds, one of the most spectacular parts of Highway One. Danang City has not much to offer the tourist but the Cham Museum, the Marble Mountains and China Beach are all in close vicinity, the latter being famous for the wave surfing GIs of the Vietnam War.
Hoi An
For many centuries Hoi An was one of South-East Asia's most important ports. Fortunately Hoi An was spared much of the destruction of the Vietnam War. No other town in Vietnam has such well-preserved ancient buildings. Today Hoi An is unsurpassed for its charm and has blossomed into an artists' colony.
Nha Trang
Is simply a seaside resort in Vietnam. It features miles and miles of empty beaches, deserted bays, numerous islands and coral reefs. Swim, snorkel and dive all day. Nha Trang has many good mid-range hotels. There are beach cafés, fine seafood restaurants and one beach resort.
Vietnam's honeymoon town nestles in a mountain valley at an altitude of 5000 ft. (1500 m). The climate is temperate and the cool evenings attract newlyweds from all over Vietnam. The area is dotted with lakes, waterfalls, evergreen forests and gardens.
Once again the city has become the effervescent economic center of Vietnam. To some it's a hectic and terribly noisy city, to others the former 'Paris of the East' with Vietnam's best restaurants and cafés and an intense nightlife. Saigon has restored famous hotels like the Majestic, the Continental and the Rex and boasts recently opened Asian luxury hotels a la Bangkok or Singapore.
Mekong Delta
It is difficult to highlight individual towns in this huge river delta. The Mekong River divides into nine branches to encompass an area of endless paddy fields and mangrove swamps. Especially worth seeing are Vinh Long, Chau Doc, Ha Tien, Soc Trang and Tra Vinh with their large Khmer pagodas.
Con Dao
The notorious penitentiary island Con Dao is the home of the 'tiger cages', made famous by movies on Vietnam.
Vietnamese Cuisine is a mixture of Chinese, French and a little Thai. It is probably one of the best cuisines in Asia. The basic ingredients of Vietnamese cuisine are rice and the famous fish-sauce, nouc mam.
One of the specialties of Vietnamese cuisine is spring rolls, the ingredients and size vary depending on the region of the country. The traditional breakfast, chicken soup (pho ga) or beef soup (pho bo) is available at most of the food stalls on the main streets of nearly every city in Vietnam
It is customary to tip your guide and driver. Each traveler should budget approximately $1 USD per day for the guide and $0.50-75 USD per day for the driver. In nicer restaurants and bars you can leave a small amount, about $1 USD should be sufficient. You can also leave a small amount (pocket change) in your hotel room when you check out for the housekeeping staff.
All visitors to Vietnam (except Thai and Philippine nationals) require a visa. Tourist visas are usually issued with a validity of one month.
It is no longer required that you get a visa in advance. Visas may be obtained upon arrival with an invitation letter, $25 USD in exact change and 3 visa photos.
Please provide your passport details and occupation one month before departure so that we may obtain the invitation letter. The invitation letter is included in the cost of our tour packages. If you are booking minimal services such as "hotel only", an additional charge will apply.
We hope you have a wonderful trip and thank you for choosing China Travel Service Inc. for your travel arrangements!

"Lost sales: What a waste! Let's only work on the winnable ones" – Interview by John Smibert
Businesses regularly spend up to five times longer losing a sale than winning a sale (EY). Wayne Moloney explains why this is so – and what we need to do about it.
In particular he emphasises the need for a stringent qualification process to ensure we know our opportunity is winnable.
He said "Spend your time on opportunities that have got the greatest chance of success". To help make these decisions he offers us some simple qualification questions that will assist us determine if we should invest in furthering the opportunity.
Wayne Moloney is a leading business strategist specialising in sales and business development. Wayne has a very specific specialisation in 'lean selling'.
See more of the 'TALKING SALES' series here
John: Welcome back, Wayne!
Wayne: Thanks, John!
John: Last time we discussed waste, and how to look for and eliminate waste in the sales process, part of the 'lean selling' process.
Wayne: Yes.
John: One of the things you touched on was the waste in working on opportunities that never go anywhere, that never get to a conclusion.
Wayne: Yes, people can waste time on opportunities that really should be qualified out early. An interesting statistic came up last year – Ernst & Young here in Australia did some research on sales processes and on sales individuals. They found out that businesses could spend up to five times longer losing a sale than actually winning a sale.
John: Wow.
Wayne: And that comes down to poor qualification.
John: I guess it does, I guess it does.
Wayne: Yes.
John: I mean, I'm as guilty as a lot – I've worked on a lot of deals in the past, and…
Wayne: Haven't we all?
John: Yeah, multi-million dollar deals that we'd work on for a year or two, and we lose it and we go back and look at why we lost it; either we shouldn't have been there in the first place, or we got our strategy wrong.
Wayne: Look, you can really break it down to four very simple questions- "is there an opportunity? Can you compete? Can you win? Is it worth winning?" They're four simple questions that I carry with me on every opportunity that I look at, every time I talk to a prospect.
John: Great questions, yeah. Great questions. I think I've heard you call it something.
Wayne: Yeah, I turned that into an acronym, BANTA. That really just comes down to – BUDGET, is there money allocated to the project that you're looking at, and is there authority to spend that? That leads into AUTHORITY. Are you dealing with influencers and decision makers? Bear in mind, this may change throughout the sales cycle. The person you start dealing with as an influencer may need to change to be the decision maker.
John: So qualification is not a one-off exercise early in the sales process, it's a continuing process.
Wayne: Absolutely. The same as with need, so B-A-N; the NEED. That need could change slightly as well, because as you move through the individuals that are involved in that decision making decision-making process you may find and uncover that they've got slightly different needs to the person you were talking to before. Are you delivering something that will solve the problem that they've got?
John: It's tough for a sales guy though, isn't it? You know, I've got a deal that I'm working on, I've already invested a few months and whatever. It's tough to make that decision to say "Hey, let go – find another one in the funnel."
Wayne: Yes you've got to make those tough calls. But that comes down to the timeliness as well. You know, does the client have a TIMEFRAME for purchase? You may have heard it referred to as a compelling event.
John: I call it a compelling event all the time.
Wayne: Exactly, yes. So, is there a time frame to purchase? Now, if there's not and there's no compelling event then maybe it's time to cut your losses and get out. And the last one, the last "A" is "ATTRACTIVE", and that comes back to value again. Is what you're delivering attractive to the person that you're making the sale to? If it isn't then you need to have a look at it and say "Am I really delivering value that this customer will find attractive?"
John: So, bottom line: if we look back on the Ernst & Young statistic. What was it, five times as long to lose an order as to win an order?
Wayne: Yes
John: If something's happening along that, a lot of waste is occurring, and our productivity is going to go down.
Wayne: Spend your time on opportunities that have got the greatest chance of success.
John: And if you haven't got those opportunities in your funnel go find them.
Wayne: Absolutely.
John: Don't waste time on the ones that you're not going to get.
Wayne: Yes.
John: Love your advice, Wayne – thanks for talking with us! Look forward to our next discussion.
Wayne: Pleasure, John – thank you!

Not every. but most mornings Jonah wakes up in SUCH a good mood.
I usually hear him making a kind of fussy, but not really upset sounds over the monitor or being that he's right next door - I hear him 2xs as much.
But then, when I go to his crib to get him out. BAM! It's like he's running into your arms. Friday morning he was lying in his crib facing the wall - away from me and not really making much noise, but I knew he was awake. So, I gently rubbed his back and turned over so fast and just let out a happy squeal! Like he was playing BOO! I died. My heart swelled and I questioned HOW can I love this kid more and more everyday? and WHY can't I wake up like that!?

He is just so sweet! My favorite time is in the morning when I get to pick my little one out of her crib. She is just so excited to see me. I miss her terribly at night.ReplyDelete
Awww. I like getting my kids in the morning too. They are almost always happy at that moment!ReplyDelete

Well thank you Michael for my first comment. Michael Minella had posted this article in response to a comment I made about telling Prototype I was never coming home after being with JQuery. I thought Glenn made a nice fair argument that Prototype is NOT dead and JQuery isn't such a god send that we should never look at it again.
I'm still not coming home.
Without going into specific differences between the two (I think there are plenty of articles on that), what I personally enjoyed about JQuery was the almost configuration based approach to instrumenting events on the DOM elements, thus keeping all of the JavaScript in one place. Sure I learned after the fact that you can do it in Prototype too but JQuery kinda prescribes it with the $(document).ready() function. So I thank JQuery for opening my eyes to this style of instrumenting DOM elements.
Many people seem to use performance in this debate. I never noticed Prototype to be "slow" unless benchmarked against JQuery (slickspeed). But 1ms vs. 6ms? Come on it's the web! Where else do developers get so say to hell with shaving milliseconds? Most of my performance concern is server side where you are saving seconds or preventing a complete meltdown during peak hours. Sure if I were building an ACID compliant DB in JavaScript I might profile my JavaScript it but for making a <div> wiggle, the differnce in imprecivable. So any points about JQuery performance hold little water with me.
If performance were the primary concern, I would have prefered Dojo over Prototype. I'm sure Dojo's excellent in its own ways but the syntax always felt more geared towards developers instead of designers . When I'm knee deep in content, I prefer to keep my designer hat on. JQuery and Prototype/Scriptaculous both seem to keep me in my happy place, which is especially necessary for me when doing any front end development.
When it comes down to it, the tangible reason I now prefer JQuery was its suggestion that one should instrument elements in the ready() function, which in turn keeps event based function calls out of the HTML. That little trick was enough to make me really enjoy JQuery and I haven't missed anything that would make me come home. Honestly, I wouldn't mind using either or at this point. They really are pretty similar as far as what you can get done and community support, even though JQuery seems to have the momentum at this stage in the game.
So, I'm sorry Prototype. I'll never forget the awesome times we shared . Should we meet again, don't be surprised if I pull out some tricks I learned while away.
JQuery vs. Prototype

Bathroom remodeling can be a fun project! If you are planning to have a new look for your bathroom, you might be interested in a repaint job, upgrading the flooring, refurbishing, new plumbing fixtures or a thorough overhaul. Hiring professional contractors for this job is an excellent idea, because a professional approach incorporates specialized input of trained individuals and in most cases the outcome is certainly better than what you can do on your own.
What Steps are Involved?
Even when you hire a contractor to remodel your bathroom it means you also have a few things to do. You should be prepared to do the following:
- decide on a budget
- create a wish list of the design and materials
- get estimates from qualified contractors
- create an itemized price list of the wish list
- match the expenses from your wish list to your budget
- if you are over budget then start trimming items from your wish list
- work with your contractor to get the project to within your budget
How Much Does It Cost and How Long Will It Take?
The average cost to remodel a bathroom is between $8,000 – $10,000 and will typically take 3 – 4 weeks to complete (depending on the scale of the project).

Types Of Bathroom Remodeling Projects
Luxury Bathroom Remodels
Ultimate bathing luxury in a lavatory that lives up to your expectations and exemplifies the veracity of the bathroom of your dreams is not a distant idea anymore. If you are not happy with the existing shower or the bathtub and want advanced replacements that exude style and grace, or you want to add a bit of luxury by getting modern alterations to the overall décor, our luxury bathroom remodeling services can help. Bathroom remodeling is often considered one of the best ways to increase the value of your home. We can help you transform the visualization of your specific luxury bathroom into a reality.
Modern Bathroom Design
Geometric patterns, clean lines, and natural materials are often design elements associated with modern bathrooms. If you are looking to have a contemporary ambience for your bathroom and scheduling to revive it in a way that it emanates modernity and sophistication in all respects, and at the same time you want it to excel in its functionality as a top rated bathroom, we can help you achieve all the specifications you are aiming to attain in your bathroom.
Tip: Fixtures for a modern style bathroom can be more expensive so consider this in the planning phase.
Kids Friendly Bathroom Design
Stapleton is a hotbed for people who have children. Remodeling a bathroom to make it more kid friendly can be a great idea. A bathroom for children has a light hearted approach with respect to the décor and ambience; however, it is not entirely whimsical and fun. A number of activities happen in a family bathroom such as brushing teeth, bathing, washing and playing in the tub. Thus, it is a multipurpose room that should include durable fixtures, ample storage facilities and easy to reach surfaces.
Tip: A double sink bathroom is great for kids!

There was little doubt that China's annualised growth would dip from the previous reading of 7.7 per cent - the question was by how much.
The result of 7.5 percent growth in gross domestic product (GDP) in the second quarter was welcomed because it was in line with forecasts, and to use jargon from the global financial crisis, "less worse than expected" given recent sombre data releases.
AUDIO: China's economy continues to slow, but still remains strong (The World Today)
Today's result is a long way from the 12.08 per cent annualised growth achieved in 2010, as Chinese authorities continue with their strategy of a managed slowdown.
China's economy has now slowed in nine of the past 10 quarters.
|Rollercoaster economy - China GDP since 1999 Source: Bloomberg
Newly-appointed Federal Treasurer Chris Bowen would also be watching the China numbers with interest, given his recent downbeat comments about Australia's economy.
Despite the slowing, the pace of economic growth in China remains stellar: urban investment grew at an annualised 20.1 per cent; retail sales expanded at an annualised pace of 13.3 per cent; and industrial output grew at an annualised 8.9 per cent
China's National Bureau of Statistics has described the results as "stable", suggesting the government does not see the need for stimulus to protect the economy from a hard landing.
While the Chinese government's official growth target for 2013 is 7.5 per cent, it remains the slowest pace in 23 years.
A significant concern for Chinese authorities is whether the slower economic times add to the jobless rate, which could result in social unrest as workers are turned away from cities when projects dry up.
The Australian dollar jumped to 91.09 US cents after the data hit, suggesting investors remain confident that China's demand for resources will continue to underpin Australia's economy.
But it is now very clear that any piece of data from China will be scrutinised and anticipated as investors hedge bets on the lifespan of the China growth story.

The optimist temptingness of the malodorous aromatherapy taper has seduced umteen of us. But unless you're lighting the apt candle, you may in actual fact be polluting the air in your den.
Toxic wax
The utmost joint candles are ready-made from wax wax, a bargain-priced mire idle away goods of the fossil oil commercial enterprise.

Unfortunately, this atomic number 6 has the toxins saved in diesel, which ends up as deposit on walls, ceilings, fabrics and even in the improvement group. Those beautiful gel candles may be crystal evident but they too are toxic, made from petroleum-based wax or synthetic hydrocarbons.

Lighting up lead
Even more chancy are candles near metal-core wicks, number one because they don't dive concluded into the wax when lit. But golden wicks truly unfetter lead into the environment. Jerome O. Nriagu, Ph.D., a academician of biological chemical science at the University of Michigan, plumbed the amount of metallic element free in 14 diametric brands of candles near metal-core wicks.

While prevented in Europe, the U.S. and Canada, atomic number 82 is not moving wide utilized in Asia and South America, some starring exporters of the aromatherapy candles oversubscribed in North American stores.
According to the National Candle Association (NCA) supported in Washington, D.C., most aromatherapy candles now and then comprise prime oils. Even if they do, the amounts can never be ample sufficient to breed a real aromatherapy issue. Most U.S. and Canadian manufacturers marker their candles for inferno safety, but they are not in somebody's debt to break hazardous, nephrotoxic or cancer compounds previously owned as ingredients.

The newest DLC for April has been announced in the form of two new map packs. These maps are called Sanctuary and Foundation.
This was announced by the Call of Duty Elite twitter team (if you remember, Robert Bowling resigned from from IW last month.)
Anyway, this specific map pack will be available to XBox Live COD Elite premium subscribers tomorrow, according to the Twitter update.
Judging by the screenshot above, Sanctuary seems to be a map that is based around a church or a monastery. Foundation sounds like it might have something to do with "metal works" or a construction site. Here's a screenshot of the Foundation map:
If you're a PS3 player, the first DLC drop for you will occur on the 14th of April, which is in 4 days time.
For your viewing entertainment, here's some knifing in gun game reactions (WARNING: BAD LANGUAGE)

Draining the Progressive Crybaby Swamp
How painful it was to watch President Obama hold his final press conference (at least for 2016) Friday 12/16 as he attempted, with great difficulty and inordinate patches of blankness and silence, to contrive some alien legacy of success which he can only wish he had forged. He appeared rather angry or disturbed while choosing words of vacuous meaning. Again. The only legacy this hopelessly progressive fraud will be awarded by fair historians recording history as it unfolded is one of substantial ego, pseudo-intellectualism, weakness and failure. And frequently hosting performances by potty-mouthed "entertainment" folks whose presence does little but taint the White House hardly scores as a reason to document this inept chief executive as a national hero, for starters.
We just love watching the Obama bunch complain and agonize about presumed Russian hackers interfering with the elections, when these are the same folks who sent operatives to Israel, hoping to influence that nation's votes. On the same note, we are far from ready to dismiss Julian Assange, who claims no Russian involvement, while we also hear reports that the Democrats may have suffered from an "inside job" of hacking by one of their own supporters who rightfully thought Bernie Sanders was unfairly done in by the Hillary Clinton people.
Queen Hil', meanwhile, appears to blame both the Russians and FBI director James Comey for her loss. We don't know about the Russians, but if Comey's nationally broadcast TV presentation had any bearing on the country dodging a Hillary Clinton bullet, give this man the Medal of Freedom. Well done, sir!
Still, crybaby variety Democrats do what they always do when elections are lost -- they scream, they protest, they childishly whine, they accuse, they engage in tantrums for the news cameras -- and the most dedicated anarchists and socialists among them do violent things. Never let a good crisis go to waste -- remember that one? Why is it that these sad losers, who never, ever blame themselves for their predicaments, actually believe that Democrats are destined to rule in a one-party fantasy system forever? We might suggest they "grow up," but it's quite obvious and unfortunate that they have little capacity to do so. When it comes to national maps showing zilch support for their progressive nonsense pretty much everywhere between California and New York, this fact remains somehow irrelevant. Banging one's head against a USA/Mexico Trump wall is about as effective as making evidence contrary to their own errors count with this bunch. The current mix of shock-ridden Democrats, unwilling to acknowledge the crushing beat-down of their own party for perhaps decades to come, reminds one of angry family members attending a funeral, sniping at and crabbing about the deceased, but unable to amend their situation because, try as they might, they can't revive the dearly departed's corpse.
Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Reid and so many party clingers of lesser station are merely elected squatters who spent plenty of time embracing party longevity, all the while enhancing their personal fortunes, but laws not so much. And look at Democrat responses to the Electoral College! Threats of violence, even death, directed toward the electors continue to the end, instigated by party faithfuls who have truly become (or always were) dangerous lunatics. What happened to reasonable Democrats? Gone, gone, gone.
What next? Now that Kanye supposedly had an emotional fix-up, I would surmise him as ineligible for the full presidency, just like the last Democratic V-P candidate who burst forward with mental institution inmate credentials. This probably means that, even as this is typed out on a keyboard with neither mercy nor comprehension, the Democrats are mulling over Tom Hanks, Will Smith and a number of entertainers for next time around in four years. They must -- unless the Democrats can find an entertainer with popular appeal, they have nothing else to offer, nothing to hide the empty suit and aimless calling card their party has become. Yes, the celebrity factor shall be their calling card following Trump's first four years. Nothing titillates like glitter without substance. A little singing here, a little dancing there, and what do we have? The same old song and dance.
Welcome back, Donna Brazile: Ah yes, so heartening it is to watch the return of ABC-TV's favorite Sunday morning political matron and DNC Chair Donna Brazile. We ponder, however, whether she personally provides George Staphylococcus (thanks to Dr. Michael Savage for that apt name) the questions intended for her own response?
China grabs our stuff: Oh, how we wish our outgoing cop-hating president wasn't diplomatic to the point of probably wearing pink panties when engaging the Chinese. When I'm president of the world, every underwater drone we launch in international waters will be self-detonation capable, and when uninvited foreign hands (China, hint, hint) apprehend one, an appropriate bomb will blow -- perhaps a super-glue explosive destined to mess up one's pretty boat, or how about a dog feces bomb (hey, it works in burning paper bags on porches at Halloween. . .)? Something to leave a lasting impression on the captors. The Obama bunch? I suppose it is (sigh. . .) beyond expectation to expect one criminal administration to punish another.
Speaking of punishment. . .Wow, you folks in Germany really need to arrest Angela Merkel and try her for importing the radical Islam Trojan Horse, though you might take things a tad further and charge her with war crimes against her own country. She, Obama and a host of other national "leaders" who systematically condemn their nations to identity death by welcoming an invasion of people who will conquer, but never assimilate, engage in some form of treason, of criminality, of detached cultural homicide against the population they swear to serve. This is deadly serious stuff.
Your brain on gestation: A new study suggests that women's brains change dramatically while pregnancy takes its course, probably aiding in proper womb nurturing of the growing fetus and then baby care This somehow reminds me of a study we've mentioned previously regarding how weird cat germs invade human and prey (e.g., mouse) brains, causing the recipient to do what the cat desires. In terms of mice, something about contact with cat urine causes the critters to stick around and peculiarly wait for a pouncing feline. The lesson here: Don't be a rodent if you can help it, and never play in the litter box.
Readers: I'm experiencing computer problems where I do the actual writing and am not sure about the frequency of future entries, at least in the short term -- and, of course, there's the weather. Have a nice 2017!
