"The Night Before the Second Exam" (二次試験、前夜, Niji Shiken, Zen'ya) is episode 398 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
At night in Sunagakure, a masked individual breaks into the Kazekage's office building. Kankurō confronts him, and questions his identity, which he claims to be one of the extremists seeking reform in the Land of Wind. As the assassin makes his escape, Kankurō pursues him. Seemingly cornered, he attempts to commit a suicidal attack, but Temari arrives in the nick of time to save Kankurō. The next morning, Kankurō and Temari alert Gaara that his rebels are stepping up their efforts against him, but the Kazekage refuses to cave in under pressure. Elsewhere, the main teams of the Konoha 11 all arrive safely to the Demon Desert checkpoint to secure their qualification, while those that arrive late are eliminated and are instructed to return to their respective villages. During dinnertime, a fight breaks out between the genin after the Konoha shinobi accidentally ruined the food. As Fū arrives and is seemingly hoping to make friends, the other genin leave the cafeteria, much to her dismay. Back in Konohagakure, Kakashi reports to Tsunade of his failure to infiltrate Amegakure, suspecting the state of things after having not met Hanzō in person. Meanwhile, Chōji sneaks out to the building where the jōnin are, hoping to get food. Sakura and Ino follow him, and they are all attacked by a giant scorpion. Fortunately, Fū arrives to their rescue. Arriving to the scene, Gaara notices the similarity between Fū and Naruto due to her unique charisma. The next day, the second phase begins, and, as in the previous Chūnin Exams, half of the teams are given the Scroll of Earth, while the other half are given the Scroll of Heaven, meaning each team must retrieve the counterpart scroll to pass the exam.
- Even though it takes three days to travel to Suna from Konoha, no matter the route, Kankurō and Temari were able to reach the village in two days.
- A kunoichi from Suna in one frame was shown to have failed the exam as she didn't make it to the Demon Desert in time and in the other frame was shown sitting with her fellow Suna genin, albeit with a slightly different colouring palette. Whether this was on purpose or an accident is unknown.

Nepalese Bronze Statue Dancing
Devi Goddess
Origin: Nepal. Circa: early 20th century H
15 in.(38cm), W 7 in.(18cm), D 5 in.(13cm)
Minor cast imperfection, very good condition!
naked and sensual Dancing Dakini represents the primordial consciousness in pulsation;
a cosmic force of pure joy stripped of defilement. The Dancing Dakini is lifelike
and radiating in rapturous bliss, her face is divine in features and serene in
expression, body well proportioned and vigorous in movements. As her upper torso
is swaying in an arc, she is dancing with a bell in her raised right arm, with
left hand holding a symbol, and arm extended to counter her right foot in mid
air, striking a perfect balance with her bending left knee, which resulted in
a sinuous and graceful dance rhythm. In spite of a few minor casting faults, the
eloquence of the Divine Feminine remains vivacious in this spirited dancing goddess.

Wireless Microphones and Audio Systems for Classrooms that reinforce a "Sound Field" have the unique ability to not only raise student test scores, but it is the only school technology that directly benefits teacher health.
Sound Field Benefits
Higher Sound Intelligibility
- Improve on-task behavior
- Increase subject matter retention
- Reduce vocal strain caused by projecting and repeating
Higher Sound Intelligibility
- One classroom audio system for all multimedia sources
- Integrate page, fire, and security systems to ensure the message is clear
- Reduce teacher absenteeism due to voice related health issues
Higher Sound Intelligibility
- A must-have for students with language comprehension issues
- Longer lifespan than computers and other visual hardware
- Proven increase in academic achievement with same curriculum
What System do you need?
Why Choose TeachLogic?
Because we're the true Sound Field brand.
The main point of a classroom Sound Field system is to improve clarity.
What good are microphones and speakers if the sound quality is poor and students can't understand what's being said? At that point the classroom isn't getting Sound Field; they're getting hot air. And that's a wasted investment that schools can't afford.
Our collective job as technology professionals is to provide value to our customers. For us audio professionals, it's to provide the best sound for the best value. TeachLogic, hands down (or up as far as the students are concerned), provides the best sounding wireless microphones and audio systems for classrooms at a reasonable price point. So when a school needs Sound Field, why risk a bad investment with someone else? Go with the proven performer. Go TeachLogic!
"In my eighteen years of teaching I have found using a microphone in the classroom as one of the most helpful tools. Using a microphone makes collaboration and group work easier to manage. English Language Learners can hear my instruction more clearly; I have found they follow directions better and turn in higher quality work because they have a clearer understanding of what I'm trying to teach. I used to get sick at the beginning of every year because of overusing my voice, but that has changed with the microphone. I can speak normally and students are able to clearly hear."

Despite Nakuru being known as the Vegas of Kenya…(everything fun happens here from hosting big rugby tournaments to headliner concerts) it has also emerged as a hub for young entrepreneurial minds. We got to interact with Charles Kambo, popularly known as 'Lastborn', a resident in Nakuru town who is so passionate about the welfare of youth in the town.
This passion comes to life when he is taking up his role as the chairperson of a group dubbed 'Youth4Youth Initiative' which focuses on helping the youth discover their potential and talents, as well as to nurture them. Lastborn, being the leader, helps the group organize for edutainment platforms which address issues such as relationships and sex, poverty eradication as well as drug and substance abuse. Such platforms have seen many youth in the town enlightened and leading more responsible lives.
Charles was given the name 'Lastborn' by the former governor of Nakuru county – Kinuthia Mbugua, who was captured by his outgoing spirit, and ability to influence people despite being the shortest in the crowd. When he is not mentoring youth, Lastborn emcees at events organized by Kenya Power in Nakuru town, as well as those held in his college – East African Institute of Certified Studies – Nakuru branch where he is pursuing a Diploma in Mass communication.
Lastborn has also been very helpful at the community Tingg chat events we hold monthly. His zealous nature of seeing youth get education drives him to help coordinate more youth to take part in the events as well as secure a sign language interpreter for the participants who are deaf.

Australia's most loved online eco store. Our core value is to help Australian families reduce their household waste by providing reusable and sustainable products for their home, so they can cut single use plastics out of their life for good!
How It All Started...
A couple of years ago I travelled to the Canadian Rockies and lived in some of the most beautiful national parks in the world. These places strive to be model environmental communities, adopting and implementing innovative programs to protect and enhance their natural environment. I began to realise the importance of protecting the environment, and how easy it was to make small changes in my lifestyle to help reduce my daily waste.
I started using reusable products instead of disposable ones, shopping at bulk buy shops and farmer's markets instead of big supermarket chains. I hit thrift shops for a new vintage outfit instead of buying fast fashion, which also improved my bank account. My housemates and I started to switch to wood, glass and metal utensils in our house instead of plastic. They were all really easy sustainable swaps around the home, and I wanted to show Australian families how easy it was to ditch the single use plastics consumed most in family homes.
One single person on average generates 1.5 tonne of rubbish per year in Australia. Most of that rubbish ends up in our oceans or landfill, only a tiny percentage of our waste actually gets recycled. All these little changes help reduce your carbon footprint. I want to share these tips and resources with other people, as well as make sustainable products easier to access in Australia.
Small changes will make a world of difference.
You might think that a few small, personal changes won't make a difference to the large scale waste generated by the industrial sector. How do we change this? We actually have a lot of power! If we ALL individually change our purchasing habits to more sustainable options, and begin to use reusable products instead of consumables, the big companies will have no choice but to change with us to ensure they stay in business. Social media is also driving corporate social responsibility. These big companies don't want negative publicity, as they need customers to make money, therefore, our money is our voice.
Start shopping sustainably and use your voice today.

Questions and Answers
Questions and Answers
Q. Chris asks: The paint on my outside wall is peeling. What is the best way to remove it before I put on a new coat of paint?
A. Paint removal by a do-it-yourselfer is most easily accomplished with a pressure washer. Although pressure washers are available for rent, if you are a homeowner we suggest you seriously consider buying one. The uses around the house are endless. But you need to be careful. If you aren't, you could damage the siding below. Pressure-washing takes patience, attention to the matter at hand and a careful touch.
Once you have finished pressure-washing, you might want to touch things up with a paint scraper. Also, sand areas where the pressure washer lifted the wood grain. Next, use sandpaper to feather in all the edges between the remaining paint and any bare wood. Finally, apply a coat of high-quality, oil-base primer and then your finish coat. We suggest high-quality acrylic latex.
Q. Joe asks: I have two questions. I have cracks in my concrete basement floor from which I believe radon gas is creeping in. What is the best way to seal those cracks? How can I decide what type of heavy-duty snow shovel to buy? I want one that doesn't get its edges rolled up by snow and ice?
A. Before you do anything about that cracked floor, test for radon. Better yet, have a professional make the test for you. Another reason for contacting a professional: you might need to install a system to exhaust the vapors if radon is present in a dangerous concentration. The concentration of radon should be checked both before and after the concrete is sealed.
Sealing the cracks in the floor of your basement might be all that you need to do. Then again, perhaps more work will be needed. We hope you will not have to install the exhaust system we mentioned. In any event, use a polyurethane concrete caulk. You are dealing with simple, old-fashioned gas vapors. There doesn't seem to be much pressure associated with radon vapors, so most concrete caulks will do. We have recommended the type that bonds the best and that holds up the longest.
As far as snow shovels are concerned, we suggest you contact someone at your local tool rental store for unbiased advice. The brand that they buy will be the one that probably holds up the best and will, more than likely, have been purchased locally. It, therefore, should be readily available to you, as well.

Exoticism (from 'exotic') is a trend in European art and design, influenced by some ethnic groups or civilizations from the late 19th-century. First stimulated by Eastern trade in the 16th and 17th centuries, interest in non-western (particularly "Oriental", i.e. Middle Eastern or Asian) art by Europeans became more and more popular following European colonialism.[1]
The influences of Exoticism can be seen through numerous genres of this period, notably in music, painting, and decorative art. In music, exoticism is a genre in which the rhythms, melodies, or instrumentation are designed to evoke the atmosphere of far-off lands or ancient times (e.g. Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé and Tzigane for Violin and Orchestra, Debussy's Syrinx for Flute Solo or Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio espagnol). Like orientalist subjects in 19th-century painting, exoticism in the decorative arts and interior decoration was associated with fantasies of opulence.
Exoticism, by one definition, is "the charm of the unfamiliar". Scholar Alden Jones defines exoticism in art and literature as the representation of one culture for consumption by another.[2] Victor Segalen's important "Essay on Exoticism" reveals Exoticism as born of the age of imperialism, possessing both aesthetic and ontological value, while using it to uncover a significant cultural "otherness".[3] An important and archetypical exoticist is the artist and writer Paul Gauguin, whose visual representations of Tahitian people and landscapes were targeted at a French audience. While exoticism is closely linked to Orientalism, it is not a movement necessarily associated with a particular time period or culture. Exoticism may take the form of primitivism, ethnocentrism, or humanism.
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (29 August 1780 – 14 January 1867) was a French Neoclassical painter. The revival of ancient Greek and Roman art left behind the Academy's emphasis on naturalism, and incorporated a new found idealism not seen since the Renaissance.[4] As classicism progressed, Ingres identified a newfound idealism and exoticism in his work. The Grand Odalisque, finished in 1814, was created to arouse the male view.[5] The notion of the exotic figure furthers Ingres' use of symmetry and line by enabling the eye to cohesively move across the canvas.[6] Although Ingres' intention was to make the woman beautiful in his work, his model was a courtesan, which arouse debate.
Édouard Manet's Olympia, finished in 1863, was based on Titian's Venus of Urbino.[7] Olympia was a popular play about a courtesan called Olympia. This subject was extremely controversial for an artist to portray a woman like this because of traditional vision of the Academy. Manet was being very different from the accepted academic style by outlining and flattening space that created a distortion of classical elements. Olympia is provocative in her nudity that implies she is naked, not nude.[8] She is looking out in a very confrontational way, and setting the viewer as a man coming to the prostitute, although Olympia's hand suggests she is not ready to engage with the customer.[9] The African servant calls on racism and slavery in France, because showing someone of color participating in French life was unheard of, furthering the work's exotic nature.

Episode 013: Hashtag Dad
This week's episode covers the following stories on 8bitdad.com for the week leading up to January 16th, 2012: A Toddler Learning To Walk, Goodfellas Style; Father & …
Read More
Coming up on the Opening Ceremony for the 2012 London Olympics on July 27, I'm reminded of a story I didn't quite pay attention to until I became a father.
Derek Redmond is a retired British athlete who held the British record for the 400 meters sprint, and won gold medals in the 4×400 meters relay at the World Championships, European Championships and Commonwealth Games.
He's most notably remembered for his performance at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona where he tore his hamstring in the 400 meters semi-final but fought through the pain and, with assistance from his father, managed to complete a full lap of the track as the crowd gave him a standing ovation.
Twenty years later, Derek's father is being honored in a very special way.
We all love a good Occupy Wall Street story. Usually, they've got to do with a bunch of well-meaning young folk championing some common-man economic problem and exposing an evil empire's exploitations. And sometimes it ends up being poorly-deployed news. If you're into the latter and not the former, mother-hivemind Cafemom and the New York Post both have a story about Wise Ahadzi, a single father of two daughters whose house was just occupied in the name of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
Ahadzi had bought the house in Brooklyn, New York, in 2007 for over $400,000, and made his normal payments for about two years. Then, in 2009, he lost his job, just as the housing crisis slammed the value of the house down by more than half of the original cost. Ahadazi has been in foreclosure proceedings with Bank of America since then. The single father even moved down the road to a smaller and more affordable apartment during the court battle.
Ahadzi still, according to everyone involved, still owns the house – even through the lengthy foreclosure proceedings.

What is the actual incident, hidden, behind the mysterious death of the British couple at Egyptian Red Sea Resort, in their own hotel room?
The millions of tourists from different countries, the travel agents of that victim couple and also the British and Egyptian authorities raised this question. The answer can be disclosed in next week, as the top executives of the renowned travel agency, the couple used to book for their trip, and also Egyptian authorities have taken a vow to find the actual reason of this unfortunate incident through the strict investigations.
Above all the question and answers, this unfortunate death created a major interruption in the tourism business sector of Egypt, which is the fundamental source of acquiring foreign currency in this country.
Along with daughter and three grandchildren, the British couple John and Susan Cooper reached in the idyllic city of Hurghada, on the tour arranged by Thomas Cook, an international travel agency of Britain. In the photos posted on social media, by the couple, they are seen smiling and tanned at Steigenberger Aqua Magic hotel, before a couple of hours of their death.
Kelly Ormerod, the daughter of the victim British couple, said at Sky News, that she mate her parents lastly around 1.30 am after a family meal on Tuesday. Later, she discovered her parents ill.
In an immediate statement, Egyptian authorities informed that John Cooper of 69, had died at 11 am in his hotel room due to sudden failure of heart and respiratory systems, and Susan Cooper of 63 was sent to the hospital in a senseless condition and she died after 5 pm. due to heart failure.
But the daughter of the British couple is not ready to believe that her parents died of natural causes.

It is designed to work in the harshest conditions such as on the excavator surface mines, steel mills, cement plants etc. Ultrasonic level measurer measures three levels of lubricant in the tank and its scope is made according to customer's needs. We recommend that you do the amendments using a supplement pump for because of the purity of the lubricant and prevention from trapping air in the lubricant.. Pump is piston, fitted with a pressure gauge and safety valve that prevents its overload. Motorized valve when reached the required pressure at the end of the highway receives a command from the control cabinet and switches the flow to the second bus, and the micro switch signals that the lubrication cycle is completed. After you turn on the pump, manifold automatically charges the second highway lubrication with thelubricant and repeats the cycle.

What is the Green Deal and what can it do for you?
At the time of writing, it's March and in most parts of the UK it's a quite frankly astounding 20 degrees outside. There is little doubt that the significant number of people who warn us year on year as to the perils of global warming, will be smiling smugly at such unseasonal warmth.
Of course, a balmy March is no proof in itself that Global Warming is a very real and immediate danger. Indeed, the record temperature for this time of year was established over forty years ago and there were quite possibly warmer days long before records began. That said, as these warm springs continue to be a regular occurrence and other evidence lends weight to the theory of Global Warming, it would be silly to not try everything in our power to reduce the potential for catastrophe.
This is all very well and good, but how is this relevant to the average home owner and reader of this blog? Well, following a commitment in 2008 to make the UK a 'low carbon economy', the two subsequent governments have put in place a number of initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by the year 2050. One the main initiatives in the plan is the Green Deal.
The central aim of the Green Deal is to improve the energy efficiency of homes and business premises in the UK as the two together account for roughly 50% of all carbon emissions in the UK. That said, making a home energy efficient is easier said than done and can be a rather expensive business; this is where the Green Deal comes in.
As an incentive to homeowners wishing to make their home more energy efficient, the Green Deal will provide loans of up to and around £10,000 which will have no up-front cost and will be paid back with minimal interest through electricity bills. The loans will be spent on a variety of different areas in the home such as wall, floor and loft insulation, double glazing and energy efficient boilers.
If the Green Deal sounds like something you'd be interested in, here's how it'll work. Following its launch in the Autumn of 2012, homeowners (and commercial property owners) will be able to register interest with a Green Deal Assessor who will visit the relevant building and evaluate its eligibility for the scheme.
Should their property prove to be a suitable candidate, its owner will then be subsequently pointed in the direction of local Green Deal suppliers who, upon agreement of a quote, will carry out the work required. With the work complete, repayments on the loan will immediately commence through the property owner's electricity bill. It's really that easy.
Ultimately, the Green Deal will mean that bills are lower, buildings are warmer and the environment stands a better chance in the long run! Everyone's a winner.

Madrid, March 2019
eProsima representatives Jaime Martin Losa (CEO) and Borja Outerelo Gamarra (Senior Middleware engineer) among other European robotics experts participated in the European Robotics Forum 2019 in Bucharest on 20-22 March 2019. eProsima presented on the publicly-funded project OFERA to create the micro-ROS robotic framework.
After its start in San Sebastian in 2010, The European Robotics Forum has grown into a major annual event on robotics with hundreds of attendees every year. This year it was already the Forum's tenth edition and its 2019 programme covered a broad range of topics on robotics and artificial intelligence.
During the first day the speakers presented on innovative robots for automotive end-users, robotics for logistics and transport, spoke about collaborative robots for industrial and professional service tasks, miniaturized robotics for biomedical applications and big data.
The next day continued with themes on AI, aerial robotics, automation and robotics for terrestrial large working machinery, marine robotics and field applications in EU: witnesses and TG meeting.
During the last day of event topics on cybersecurity, construction robotics, open and sustainable robotics software ecosystems for Europe, safety engineering in robotics software and programmable electronics were discussed. To see all the programme press here.
The European Robotics Forum 2019 was organized by euRobotics under SPARC, the Public-Private Partnership for Robotics in Europe and hosted by E-Civis Association.
To maintain and extend Europe's leadership and secure the economic and societal impact for Europe, the European Commission decided in 2012 to initiate the Public-Private Partnership in Robotics (SPARC). With €700M in funding from the Commission for 2014 – 2020, and triple that amount from European industry, SPARC is the largest civilian-funded robotics innovation programme in the world.
SPARC is a contractual Partnership of the European Commission and the European Robotics Community. The European Robotic Community is represented by euRobotics AISBL which is, a non-for-profit association according to Belgian law and with seat in Brussels. It was founded in September 2012, to provide the European Robotics Community a legal entity to engage in a contract with the European Commission.
SPARC aims to make available European robots in factories, in the air, on land, under water, for agriculture, health, rescue services, and in many other applications in Europe which have an economic and societal impact.
euRobotics AISBL (Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif) was founded on 17 Sep 2012 and is a Brussels based international non-profit association represented by more than 250 companies, universities, and research institutions, ranging from traditional industrial robotics manufacturers to producers of agricultural machinery and innovative hospitals.
One of the association's main missions is to collaborate with the European Commission (EC) to develop and implement a strategy and a roadmap for research, technological development, and innovation in robotics, in view of the launch of the next framework program Horizon 2020.
Towards this end, euRobotics AISBL was formed to engage from the private side in a contractual Public-Private Partnership, SPARC, with the European Union as the public side.
The objectives of euRobotics are to boost European robotics research, development and innovation and to foster a positive perception of robotics. It aims at:
- strengthening competitiveness and ensuring the industrial leadership of manufacturers, providers, and end-users of robotics technology-based systems and services;
- the widest and best uptake of robotics technologies and services for professional and private use;
- the excellence of the science base of European robotics.
The event gave a chance to eProsima and other participants to meet people and experts on robotics, to network among high-class researchers, engineers, innovators, and a growing number of robotic entrepreneurs from all over Europe.
eProsima is Middleware expert company which open source product eProsima Fast RTPS is adopted by ROS 2 and eProsima Micro XRCE-DDS being base of micro-ROS. It is contributing to the robotic development and innovation.
eProsima team presented the publicly-funded project OFERA to create the micro-ROS robotic framework where it collaborates with the other OFERA members: BOSCH, PIAP, FIWARE Foundation, and Acutronics Robotics.
micro-ROS is a project to create a platform for integrating micro-controllers in a robotic system extending the existing ROS2 framework. This platform should serve to a seamless integration of resource constrained devices in the robot ecosystem preserving the ROS2 concepts and at the same time allowing communication between micro-controllers based solution (micro-ROS) and general ROS2 solution using a client-server architecture.
The participation in the European Robotics Forum gave the chance to discuss our project's goals with the European community of roboticists. The organization of the event has been extremely good, with good networking and the opportunity to meet agencies, public authorities and private entities.
eProsima is an SME company focused on networking middleware with special attention to the OMG standard called Data Distribution Service for Real-time systems (DDS).
eProsima believes in the Open Source model and provides such Open Source Middleware solutions as eProsima Fast RTPS that is adopted by ROS 2 and eProsima Micro XRCE-DDS that gives access to DDS for eXtreme Resource Constrained Environments: Microcontrollers and which is the base of Micro-ROS. Its other products eProsima RPC over DDS, eProsima Non-Intrusive DDS Recorder, eProsima Dynamic Fast Buffers or eProsima Shapes Demo are widely used as well.
Selected by OSRF (ROS), Apex.ai, Clearpath Robotics, Amazon, Auterion, Dronecode, 3D Robotics, Intelligent Robots, and others, eProsima focuses on the customer needs and provides personalized solutions as per demand.

We gather to study the psycho brain. What makes it tick? What causes it to malfunction and what causes it to produce anti-social behaviors. The concern is Psychopathy from youth to adulthood.
Search for a Reason for Being
Why is this site dedicated to Psychopathy? This site is the product of my finding a "reason for being."
For some decades, I wandered aimlessly from college-to-college, with periodic breaks of menial work. I was seamlessly easing into becoming a pub habituate and a connoisseur of "prepettes".
In 1991 I was a 40-year-old student at the University of Southern California, living in the midst of slums and barrios, surrounded by crime and criminals. The sound of gun battles, car chases, sirens and hovering police helicopters carried me to sleep each night. By this stage in my life, college student-role playing became unbearable, and it segued into becoming a student of the criminal mind. What better place than to begin than observing first-hand this culture in the surrounding 'hoods! The intellectual stimulus and adventures and danger of it all! Being a mature student was weighing on me. What to do? My age and lack of raison de etre was pressing on me! I fearlessly ventured into these 'hoods to socialize with these creatures affected by psychopathic and antisocial behavior disorders. After months of reckless abandon, interacting with these criminals, I experienced a brain hemorrhage from blunt force trauma at the start of the summer of 1992. Somehow, I registered and took classes during the Fall Semester; all of which is a blank to me. Again, somehow I registered for the Spring Semester. On January 8, 1993, the Friday before the start of the semester, I was hit by a car, which broke both legs and inflicted another traumatic closed head wound.
Reason for Being
After embracing my survival instinct and recovering from the injuries, I went back to studying the criminal mind, this time from an intellectual perspective, reading the works of experts in the field, and keeping my distance from the subjects. In the present time, I plan to sit safely in a court room recording the trial of 2-child psychopaths, and interview others involved in the case.
I feel it is my destiny to tell the public about the menace of the high priest of criminals, the psychopath. Dr. Kent Kiehl calculated that psychopathic behavior in the United States costs the public $250-to-400 billion annually. This includes the costs of trial and imprisonment, the loss of life, limb, mental health and property damage.
1-in-100 men in the general population are psychopaths, while the incidence among women is estimated at 1-in-300. 15-to-25% of the inmates in the USA and Canada are Psychopaths. This site will attempt to describe the psychopaths amongst us, and to provide the public with ways to recognize them before they strike one with ruination.

Greece: Allegations of reckless use of firearms by border police
With the approach of summer, the number of Albanians seeking to enter Greece illegally is likely to increase substantially, together with the potential for further incidents to occur.
The letter to the Prime Minister said: 'The majority of illegal border-crossers will not be dangerous criminals, but people driven by poverty and unemployment at home to seek work elsewhere, as was the fate in the past of generations of Greek citizens. Greece has indeed the right to control immigration, but Amnesty International would strongly urge you to ensure that law enforcement officials on border duties use firearms only when a suspected offender offers armed resistance or otherwise jeopardises the lives of others and less extreme measures are not sufficient.'
Amnesty International also requested copies of two draft laws on the use of weapons by police and police training which are to be introduced in parliament.
The letter highlights several cases in which firearms may have been used recklessly and unlawfully in border areas. On 21 April 2002 a border guard or soldier is alleged to have shot and wounded 26-year-old Sokol Mulaj as the latter was seeking to flee after being detected near the Greek border.
Six weeks earlier, on 8 March 2002, Ferhat Ceka, aged 67, was apprehended by soldiers as he crossed the border into Greece. He has alleged that they first beat him, and then one soldier ordered him to walk on ahead and shot him in the back. He was taken to hospital in Kastoria, where he underwent an operation for the removal of his kidney and part of his liver, before being returned to Albania for further treatment. The Greek authorities are currently investigating this incident.
Afrim Salla, a boy aged 15, is said to be permanently paralyzed from the waist down. In June 2001 he and some other young men who had entered Greece illegally fled after being sighted by Greek border guards, who allegedly fired after them, shooting Afrim Salla in the spine. The incident was reportedly investigated and shelved.
Amnesty International also expressed concern about incidents in the Athens area in October and November 2001, in which two men, a Rom and an Albanian citizen, were fatally wounded by police officers who afterwards stated that their guns had fired accidentally. The organisation stated that if these explanations were valid they indicated an urgent need for improved professional training of police.
The government should ensure that the use of firearms is in line with international standards and that all incidents in which people are shot and wounded or killed by law enforcement officials are promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigated, and that the findings and methods of such investigations are made public.

A mesh router system is one of the latest advancements in the field of Internet networking and is being made available at a mass level. The mesh router network is basically a combination of multiple routers working together to create a network within your home of office. At first these mesh router systems were only used at corporate level as they were very expensive and not very practical for home use now even Google's Wi-Fi system is proving to be a very good match for domestic use.
Mesh Router System
We are all familiar with conventional single router system, the single router system is a important part of the home networking solution as it provides us the ability to share resources and connect to the Internet at the same time. The single router system works well in a four bedroom normal sized home and provides good coverage throughout the house but when the house has a bigger covered area than 1000sq.ft that is generally where the conventional single router gives in and the mesh router system come into play.
Mesh router system consists of multiple routers which work in collaboration with each other to provide faster and efficient network connectivity throughout your home. One of the routers act as the base router while other act as a router node which is receives the signal from the nearest node to pass it onto connected devices. The routers are not just working to pass on signals from one node to another they are also dividing the work load of the whole network.
Benefits of Using Mesh Router System
Mesh Router System has it's benefits and there are some cons to it as well but we all know no technology is ever 100% perfect and what matters is how well it outperforms it's predecessor.
The first benefit we noticed is that even though you will have multiple nodes and routers and they will be providing your home the network connectivity you will be needing, the SSID of your Internet connection will remain only one. Unlike Wi-Fi extenders if you are using multiple devices you will have multiple connections in your home to connect to.
These routers are smart as you roam around your house connected to the Internet the nodes will determine the strongest possible connectivity to your device and will connect your device to that node which is transmitting the strongest signal. In other words you don't have to worry about getting a weak signal anywhere within your home or office.
The nodes in mesh router system are not just a signal extending devices like the Wi-Fi Extenders they are proper routers supporting each other and almost in every case they will have the same specifications of the base router with minor adjustments. This will benefit you in this way that you will not have dip in performance levels or have any issue with performance lag if you compare nodes signal transmission to the base router's signal transmission. This is not the case when it comes to Wi-Fi Extenders which affect your Internet Connection's performance when transmitting the signals further.
Difference Between Mesh Router Systems
There is no considerable difference among the Mesh Router Systems available in the market as all of them work on the same principle. The only thing you have to keep in mind that if you install one of these systems you have to stick with them for a while. If you want to upgrade or change the system every device will be replaced so basically it's all or nothing.
Only minor difference you will find among the mesh router systems is that one type of mesh routers will be able to work with your current wireless router and the other one will take over from your current wireless router.
This is useful if you have a powerful wireless router in your home and you don't want to replace that one but to enhance it's capabilities you can select the mesh router network which can work in collaboration with your previous wireless router.
Your conventional high-end powerful wireless router produces speeds of around 500mbps if your device is connected to it in close proximity and if you connect to conventional wireless router with a brick wall obstruction in between you'll get around 300mbps of speed and that drops down to 100mbps if you are connecting to it from upstairs room or a room on the same storey with two or three brick walls obstructing the performance.
Now if you are using mesh router system in your home and you have base router at ground level and other nodes at first and second stories of your house you will, on average, will get 300mbps speeds consistently. Because of the large coverage from these devices the consistency is enough for you to connect multiple devices to the Internet and surf the web and stream videos simultaneously.
The speed factor has a limitation which you have to address. Your devices and the mesh router system should support the latest wireless standards, if there is difference between them, you will not be able to experience high speeds on your connectivity because one of the devices either the router or the mobile device will be operating at older wireless standard that limits the speed it can handle.
There are not much downsides of the mesh router system as such, it's very easy to install and there is not much maintenance to do after installation either.
The downside is a matter of choice, if you are a avid gamer and play games online you will require the best internet connectivity at all times to experience real time gameplay. The wireless connectivity is not the best option for online gaming to start with because of the loss of signal when transmitted and you will not get the best ping times if the signal has to travel a distance to reach your gaming console. The best option for online gaming is the hardwire.
The second downside you will experience if you are tech geek that the mesh router system is not very flexible when it comes to customizing your network experience you don't get a web interface all you have to make do with is a mobile app which is not very much to make do with.
If you have read through all of this publication you must have realized by now that mesh router system is a glorified Wi-Fi extender but without the performance dip factor that you experience in a Wi-Fi extender. One of the alternatives to mesh router system that we suggest is the Wi-Fi extender as it is cheaper to own and will do the job of extending the range of your wireless router as well that is if you can bear the latency factor.
The other option is the good ol'wired connection. If you are experience a poor signal problem in your home you can just get Ethernet cable measured out for the distance between your router and the area of poor signal. The only limitation you will have to make do with is that you will not be able to improve wireless connectivity in that area but you will have the same powerful performance in the form of wired connection.
The other alternative is that you can use an old wireless router and create a new access point in your home. The old wireless router will receive the signals from the new wireless router and you will be able to increase the range of wireless connectivity in your home as well.
What Does Future Hold?
Mesh Router System is still in it's infancy and in the near future we will witness cheaper and more efficient mesh router systems. The only thing we can do right now is to wait and anticipate and make do with what we have got.

When I said goodbye my heart ached to stay.
I sat on the plane and tried to work, but my mind was on my children.
When I checked my watch and noticed it was bedtime and I could not call, I longed to hear their voices.
I got off the plane and could not talk to my husband. It was 2 a.m. in Charlotte. I wanted to say I love you.
I am not the same person today as I was just a few years ago. My heart is forever with my family.
How does one let go of their heart?
I know that my job will involve travel. I'm that girl who loves traveling and soaking in new places and experiences. It is just so hard without them. I am learning the same lessons I am teaching them. We will be okay for a few days. It's no big deal. You'll have so much fun with Daddy.
I know this will be a wonderful trip. I will make new friends. I will learn. I will embrace the experience. In all honesty, just hours ago I felt like I needed a break. I need to remember that and let go just a little.
Still, I lay here in my hotel room and wish for those same kids who sometimes drive me crazy. I would be overjoyed to hear Violet's tiny voice at 2 a.m. singing Twinkle, Twinkle. I want to hear how Miles' blue puppy is feeling at 5 a.m. I might even miss breaking up fights before the sun comes up.
I just miss them. And that is okay.
This is motherhood.

JEROMESVILLE -- Though her last two minutes of Tuesday night's game were spent cheering her teammates on from the bench, the energy that Nikki Weber had shown for over three and a half quarters of the game held strong through the final buzzer as the Loudonville girls basketball team defeated Hillsdale 59-21.
The sophomore finished with a double-double in her teams second consecutive win, posting 26 points and setting a new school record with 16 steals.
"I can't overstate how important she is to our team," said Loudonville coach Tyler Bates. "She brings an attitude to practice everyday that equals a lot of hard work."
"I try to motivate my team and get them excited," Weber added. "Our positive energy during practice carries into games and we play a lot better."
Weber also added seven rebounds and a handful of assists -- working as hard for to her teammates as they work for her
"We love passing to each other for shots and for scoring," the sophomore said. "Without them playing playing defense hard, and nice passes, I wouldn't be able to score."
The Redbirds (2-0) were feeling great from the start, jumping to a 15-0 lead after a triple by freshman Emily Seboe with 2:22 left to play in the first quarter.
Loudonville continued to power through the second quarter, tacking on six more points for a 22-4 lead before Hillsdale's offense started to come together.
After only scoring four points in the first period, the Falcons (0-2) scored eight more, six by Emily Dalton -- who finished with a team-high eight points and eight rebounds -- and one free throw from both Laine Marth and Taylor Rebman.
"Though our scoreboard doesn't show it, these girls are working a lot harder and putting in a lot more effort," said Hillsdale coach Dave Swartz.
The Redbirds continued to separate themselves on the scoreboard on jumpers from Weber and Emma Hinkle and a three-pointer from Annie Seboe for a 34-12 lead with 1:23 left in the first half.
With a 22-point lead going into the second half, Loudonville's defense came to life.
"The team felt like the defense wasn't where they expected it to be," said Bates of his team at halftime.
Weber and her squad kicked it up a few notches by collectively recording 13 steals in the third quarter and preventing Hillsdale from scoring while scoring 18 straight points to put them ahead 52-12.
"We weren't talking on defense," Weber said. "But then we got out there and said, 'Let's talk, let's talk, let's get tips. It's a lot easier to play defense when all five of us are talking."
The Falcons didn't give up as they added nine more points to their total in the final quarter.
Jordan Taylor and Gracie Keets each finished with four points, while Laine Marth added three.
"I thought our team did a really good job not giving up which is a huge positive," said Swartz of his team's fourth-quarter efforts.
For the Redbirds, sophomore Emma Hinkle finished with 10 points for the Redbirds and freshman Emily Seboe added nine.
"I told the girls that anytime you beat a rival, you've got to be thrilled," Bates said. "Hopefully we're celebrating a lot more than we're sulking this year."

Reflections on this past gardening seasonBy FELDER RUSHING,
Fri, 12/21/2018 - 2:47pm
Time to 'fess up about 2018's garden foibles and failures. I've had 'em.
Some garden experts opine that it's best to always be positive. But as much as I'd like to gloss over how gardening isn't always rosy, I'd rather maintain credibility with folks who know better. So here are some highlights of the low points.

Kitchen Lab is emitting…. Sauces!!!
Sauces from all over the world!
Don't underestimate the power a sauce can have! It can truly transform a meal!
I have come up with some delicious sauce recipes from all over the world for you! Use them to add a whole new depth of flavor for fish, meat and vegetable dishes!
Try the wonderful Romesco sauce. One of the better-known Catalonian recipes; whose sweetness blends perfectly with chicken, fresh onions, calamari and quail.
The Brazilian Molho Campanha, is a perfect companion for steaks and fillets. It's also great for grilled corn on the cob and salads.
In the Canary Islands, we come across the Green Mojo. Although this sauce suits fish and meat, on the islands it is usually served with baby potatoes in their skin!
Another sauce is the Sriracha, which is a chili sauce that comes from Thailand. It goes very well with fried meatballs!
Who says barbeque sauces are only found in Texas and Australia?! This Korean Style BBQ Sauce is a truly authentic Korean recipe and transfers its delicious taste to pork in seconds!
If you are looking for the perfect sauce to use on steak, you've found it! Try making some Chimichurri sauce. It comes from Argentina and is the perfect sauce for meats!
A sauce that we come across in Indonesia is the Bumbu Kacang. It contains various vegetables and is slightly spicy. It's a perfect match for chicken!
And.. last but not least, is the Apple Sauce. It is commonly used in England, many European cities and the States… It's great with pancetta and potatoes!
Be inspired and cook..
Good Luck!!

Be cautious of people who do 'mann ki baat': Akhilesh Yadav
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Aliganj (Uttar Pradesh) [India], Jan. 30 (ANI): Launching another scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Monday alleged that its election manifesto was a rip-off of the Samajwadi party's. Akhilesh also taunted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his monthly radio address 'Mann ki Baat' and warned people to be wary of people who do 'mann ki baat' as the 'mann' is 'chanchal' or daft. "There's nothing new in the BJP manifesto. It was copied from ours. Whatever they wrote in the manifesto, we had already mentioned in our manifesto," Akhilesh said. "Be cautious of people who do 'mann ki baat'. We have been told that people who do that know that 'mann' is 'chanchal'. The Samajwadi Party talks with the heart. So we have assigned daily doses of milk and ghee for the young girls and pressure cookers for women," Akhilesh added another sardonic remark. Calling the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) 'haathhi waali party', Akhilesh remarked if it comes to power, they will erect the elephant statues everywhere. "If the 'haathhi waali party' comes to power, they will start erecting 'haathhi' everywhere. And we don't even know how large that elephant will be," he said. Expressing confidence in the SP-Congress alliance, Akhilesh said nobody could compete with them, neither the 'kamal' (the BJP's symbol) nor the 'haathhi' (the BSP's symbol). He also said, while referring to his father and Samajwadi Party's patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav's visible disagreement with the alliance, that the win in these assembly polls will only increase Netaji's honour and respect. "We have always said the Samajwadi Party will win and when the Congress has sided with us, we know we will win more than 300 seats in the assembly. And this will only increase Netaji's honour and respect among the people," he said. The poll process in the state begins on February 11. 73 constituencies in Western UP will go in polls in this phase. Uttar Pradesh is set to have a seven-phase polling between February 11 and March 8. (ANI)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that there are about 4 million people with Type 1 diabetes and 30 million people with Type 2 diabetes in the United States (roughly 9.3% of the population). In North Carolina alone, diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death.
Below, we examine some of the common questions related to the prevalence of diabetes as it relates to children.
At what age do you typically see children develop diabetes?
In children, the majority of diabetes cases we see involve Type 1 diabetes. Roughly 45 percent of Type 1 diabetes cases in children occur before the age of ten. Type 1 diabetes, however, can occur in adults – even as late as 50-60 years of age.
The two most common ages for children to develop Type 1 diabetes are:
For children with Type 2 diabetes, almost all cases in overweight or obese children occur after 10 years of age, and in children who have already gone through puberty.
Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are becoming more common among children. Recent studies indicate that both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in children increased 20 – 30 percent between 2001 – 2009.
Because we do not fully understand what causes diabetes (especially Type 1 diabetes), we do not know why it is becoming more common. For Type 2 diabetes, the increasing number of overweight and obese children is a major contributing factor to this increased frequency.
Only your pediatrician can diagnose your child as diabetic. However, there are classic signs of diabetes that occur when the body is not making enough insulin. These symptoms include:
If it is not detected early, undiagnosed diabetes may present in the following symptoms as well:
If your child develops any of these symptoms, he/she should be immediately evaluated by a pediatrician. Because most children have Type 1 diabetes, they will develop the symptoms listed above (which are associated with a lack of insulin). Because most adults have Type 2 diabetes, they often do not have any symptoms initially.
The only known risk factor for Type 1 diabetes is having a family member (especially a sibling or parent) with Type 1 diabetes.
Because most children have Type 1 diabetes, in which the body no longer makes insulin, the only treatment is insulin. Insulin gets broken down by stomach acids, so it has to be given into the fatty layer of the skin through small, daily injections or an insulin pump.
Type 1 diabetes CANNOT be prevented at this time. We know that some individuals are at greater risk of developing diabetes (ex: those with a sibling or parent with Type 1 diabetes). However, we still do not understand why some children ultimately develop Type 1 diabetes and others do not.
At this time, we are unable to stop the immune system from attacking the pancreas, which is what causes the body to stop making insulin over time. Therefore, children cannot "grow out of" Type 1 diabetes.

Katherena bags are vegan friendly (made from non-animal materials), limited and stylishly designed for all occasions. They are premium products, but have an affordable price tag and catch people's attention when they are seen on the streets. Don't you hate seeing so many people wear the same thing? That's exactly why there is a limited number of each bag made, and any future bags will never be identical.

This week I'm happy to feature Brandon Redlinger, Director of Growth at Engagio. Brandon is a wicked smart marketer who covers a ton of ground across numerous marketing (and sales) channels. Here in his own words is how he gets stuff done.

Number of unread emails right now? 28 unread, 35 total in my inbox.
First app checked in the morning? It's usually LinkedIn. I actively avoid email and Slack because it puts me in reactive mode and ruins my morning routine.
First thing you do when you come into work? Review my calendar for the day, and if I have time, update my weekly tasks/priorities on a sticky note. I use to prioritize daily in my notebook, but found that I was filling the pages with unnecessary tasks and I only updated it 1 or 2 times each week. But switching to stickies, it forces me to focus only on the few things that really matter.
What is your email management strategy? I follow some principles of Inbox Zero and Getting Things Done. As you can see, I'm not perfect, but as long as I don't have 2 pages of email, I'm happy. I've noticed once emails overflow into a second page, I'm going to forget about them. So I guess my strategy is keep emails on one page.
Most essential app when traveling? The Apple podcast app. I'm always listening to podcasts, whether I'm traveling, working out or doing chores. Some of my favorite podcasts right now are The Way I Heard It, What Trump Can Teach Us About Conlaw, and You Are Not So Smart. Then I have my staples which I've listened to for ages: Tim Ferris Show, RadioLab and Freakonomics.
How do you keep yourself calm and/or focused? I wouldn't consider myself a stoic, but I do follow and practice stoicism. It's a great remidner of your humanity and keeps things in perspective.
What's your perspective or approach to work/life balance? I find it very hard to separate work and life. I believe you should love what you do. I could work all day, everyday if I had to. But when I am spending time with my family or friends, I unplug from work completely. That means removing my email and slack from my phone. Everyone has to find their own balance but I think a fine distinction is this: if you work a lot and enjoy it, but you're able to step away without anxiety and arrest, you have a healthy balance.
Are there any work rituals critical to your success? I have a daily 5-minute gratitude and mindfulness practice. I wouldn't go as far as to label it meditation, but maybe I'll get there someday.
What apps/software/tools can't you live without? Engagio, Marketo, Salesforce, Slack, and LinkedIn.
What's your workspace like? I was recently joking with my wife that if she or my mom walked into the Engagio offices, they'd be able to spot my desk instantly. There are some sports memorabilia and items on top of the desk and a pile of books on the floor. I tend to keep my workspace clean and organized with minimal distraction and clutter on my desk.
What's your best time-saving shortcut or lifehack? Keyboard shortcuts. I can navigate my MacBook Pro, Gmail, Slack, etc. without having to touch my mouse. It makes me 10X quicker and so much more efficient while I work.
What are you currently reading? Primed to Perform and How To Measure Anything. I also read plenty of blogs. Some of my regulars are HBR, Farnam Street and First Round Review.
Last thing you do before leaving work? Most commonly, it's probably email, then checking in with my team to make they're supported and have everything they need from me.
Who are some mentors or influencers you wish to thank or acknowledge? Seth Braun and Jim Corcoran are two mentors that have had a major influence on me. I'm also a big believer of finding mentors from afar. You don't have to meet with a mentor regularly or even know him/her personally. If there is someone you'd like to learn from, study everything they do. If they put out content – even better. Consume everything. Some of my mentors from afar are Tim Ferriss, Dan Kennedy and Morgan Brown.
Name some supportive people who help make it possible to do what you do best? Jon Miller – I'm honored that he asked me to come run content, digital and inbound marketing at Engagio. I've learned a lot from him, and it's been a pleasure working for him. It's also been a pleasure working with other extremely sharp marketers like Charlie Liang and Heidi Bullock.
What's the best advice you've ever received? You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. I deeply believe you have to choose your friends wisely. In the digital age, this also has further reaching implications. As I mentioned about finding mentors from afar, people you don't know personally can have a tremendous impact on your life. I believe the 5 people you "spend the most time with" include the people you "spend time with" on social media. Who do you follow in twitter? Which creators do you watch regularly on YouTube? Who are you connected with on LinkedIn? It's important to "spend time" with the right people.
Name a guilty pleasure TV show. Game of Thrones.

Hello Arroyo Partners:
The drought situation here in the Rio Grande Valley is getting worse. A cold front blew through the Valley last week and did lower the temperatures but did not bring any rain and we are expecting record breaking heat all of this week. After weeks of negotiating, Mexico has agreed to release some water into the Rio Grande River. Initially, everyone was relived until it was determined that the size of the release would not help very much. So once again, our public officials are urging Mexico to release enough water to get us through the summer. I will keep you posted.
I want to make a special announcement; now available on the Arroyo Colorado website: Water Trends Maps and Water Quality Data. This exciting new feature allows you to see water quality trends and data from the various monitoring stations along the Arroyo. Check out this great new resource.

Mother Tells Of Nightmare Moment When Uber Driver Took Off With Her Baby On Back Seat.
A mother was left screaming in panic after an Uber driver accidentally drove off with her seven-month-old daughter in the back of his car — and didn't realise for almost an hour.
Elisabeth Katompa, a nurse, had visited her mother in Enfield with daughter Olivia-Hope before taking a minicab home to Tottenham with her sister. When the car pulled up outside her home just after 11pm, Mrs Katompa and her sister got out.
As they made their way to the other side to unstrap the sleeping baby from her car seat directly behind the driver he set off, oblivious.
"My sister and I chased him down the road and he didn't even know that we were chasing him," said Mrs Katompa, 31. "We couldn't catch up with him
The pair called 999. Uber has a lost property service brought text that allows drivers to be contacted but it's not a phone number... Mrs Katompa said: "The panic that I was in… I was screaming and shouting and what-not. I called the police because that was the only thing I could think of."
When officers arrived she showed them her email receipt, which had the driver's first name but not the numberplate. Without further details, police said they could not immediately track the driver down.
"I got so worried because you hear about things like that happening when someone just takes a child and then you never see them again," Mrs Katompa said.
"I wasn't thinking straight. I didn't know if he was aware that she was still there, I didn't know if he did it on purpose… I didn't know what to think."
driver had meanwhile accepted another fare, a man who did not question the sleeping baby's presence. "He didn't say anything," Mrs Katompa said. "Maybe he assumed she belonged to the driver."
Only when a second fare asked the driver if he was aware of the baby did he realise what had happened.
He took her to Bishopsgate police station, about five miles from the home Mrs Katompa shares with her husband Oliver, 31.
"One of the officers on the radio said someone had just dropped a baby off at the police station," Mrs Katompa said.
"The police blue-lighted us to the station. I was just hoping it was her... I was hoping that she was well. I was worried that it wouldn't be my baby. I just wanted to see her. It was scary."
When Mrs Katompa got to the station she was reunited with Olivia-Hope, who was asleep. "She wasn't aware of anything that was going on and the officers were taking care of her," she said.
Uber said it was the first time such an incident had happened. It added: "We normally hear about drivers finding mobile phones or keys in the back seat of their car but never a sleeping baby.
"As soon as the driver and a following passenger realised what had happened they drove to the local police station to safely reunite mum and baby."
The Met said it was called at about 11pm on Saturday to reports of a missing baby. It said: "Officers responded and made urgent enquiries to trace the vehicle.
"Just after 12.10am, the driver attended a central London police station to report a baby in his car. The baby was reunited with her mother."
No crime was recorded. Mrs Katompa said: "I'm still shaken up by it. Even when we got home, I didn't want to let go of her."
