Jane Austen's timeless masterpiece, now in a beautiful new hardcover edition.
Jane Austen's timeless masterpiece, now in a beautiful new hardcover edition.
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

The Presidency on Friday announced the names of the members of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, which will start its work from October 1.
Plans to establish the council were announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his June State of the Nation Address. The council is aimed at ensuring greater coherence and consistency in the implementation of economic policy and ensuring that government and society, in general, are better equipped to respond to changing economic circumstances.
Comprising local and international economic thought leaders, the council will advise the President and government more broadly, facilitating the development and implementation of economic policies that spur inclusive growth.
Members, who will volunteer their time and be compensated for subsistence and travel, are appointed to serve a three-year term.
It is expected that the council will serve as a forum for in-depth and structured discussions on emerging global and domestic developments, economic and development policies and to facilitate socialisation and diligent execution thereof.
It will be supported by a secretariat drawn from the National Treasury and the policy and research services within the Presidency that will, inter alia, feed enhanced economic research into the deliberations of the council. The council is further expected to establish clear protocols for engaging with other critical structures such as the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac).
The council will meet quarterly at first and will, in due course, decide on timelines that will best enable deliberations among members and the council's interface with the President.
The members of the council are:
-Professor Benno Ndulu, who served as the governor of the Bank of Tanzania from 2008 to 2018. He is best known for his involvement in setting up and developing the African Economic Research Consortium.
-Professor Mzukisi Qobo, a professor of international business, who has written extensively on trade and the political economy.
-Professor Dani Rodrik, a professor of International political economy at the John F Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. He has conducted specific research on the South African economy.
-Professor Mariana Mazzucato, a professor in the economics of innovation and public value and director of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at the University College London.
-First National Bank chief economist Mamello Matikinca-Ngwenya.
-Dr Renosi Mokate, a former executive and Dean at the University of South Africa Graduate School of Business Leadership and former deputy governor of the South African Reserve Bank.
-Dr Kenneth Creamer, a senior lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits).
-Professor Alan Hirsch, a director of the Graduate School of Development Policy and Practice at the University of Cape Town (UCT).
-Professor Tania Ajam, who teaches public financial management at the University of Stellenbosch School of Public Leadership.
-Dr Grové Steyn, an infrastructure and regulatory economist.
-Wandile Sihlobo, an agricultural economist and head of agribusiness research at the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa.
-Dr Liberty Mncube, currently a scholar at Wits.
-Professor Fiona Tregenna, a professor in the Department of Economics and Econometrics at the University of Johannesburg.
-Professor Haroon Bhorat, a professor of economics and director of the Development Policy Research Unit at UCT.
-Ayabonga Cawe, a development economist actively engaged as a public intellectual.
-Professor Vusi Gumede, a former chief policy analyst in the Presidency's Policy Coordination and Advisory Service.
-Dr Thabi Leoka, an economist who has worked for various organisations in the financial sector and was recently appointed by Ramaphosa to the Public Investment Corporation Commission of Inquiry.
-Professor Imraan Valodia, an economist and dean of the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management at Wits.
The Presidency is also finalising the appointment of a seasoned economist and leader from West Africa, who has accepted an invitation to serve as a member of the council.
Ramaphosa thanked the council members for accepting the invitation to serve South Africa's development in their capacity as members of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and assured them that their insights, critiques and recommendations would, ultimately, serve to build a sustainable and inclusive economy that meets the needs of citizens and is globally competitive at the same time.

Well hi there, everybody!
As I wave hello to you all, Mr. Sunshine is smiling down on me for the first time in I don't really know how long. And I am smiling right back, as my will to dwell in this most-of-the-time-covered-in-clouds city of Portland has been revived. And as for the loveliest Poor House in all the land, it has every door and window open, allowing all of the fresh cut grassy/fragrantly floral/energizing spring aromas into our space. Ahhhhh!
Speaking of aromas, have I told you that odor played an important role in our early love story? I am referring to Day 1- the day Ri and I met- the day I waltzed across the threshold of my future home, announcing myself to Ri, pausing for a breath, allowing an enticing aroma to fill my nasal orifice. I remember it well. It was distinct. Like a fine wine, complex. Full bodied. Familiar, yet mysterious. It was comforting, welcoming, and well, if I bottled it up I would brand my cologne HOME, by Poor House Love. And life is good like that because, as luck would have it, I now have the luxury of wearing this scent each and every day, just by lingering here in the place I was meant to be.
But here's the thing, you guys. It would be like, fake news to exclusively report all things lovely and perfect in the Poor House- don't you think? That is not the point of this and I don't want my relationship to have that artificial perfectly scripted vibe lingering anywhere around it.
So I'll be honest with you. The last few weeks were really kind of… Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Allow me to back up for a moment. Remember THIS POST HERE where I talk a bit about our "caregiver homeostasis?" I didn't mean for it to sound so perfectly packaged, but it may have. I am guessing you read my words and afterwards thought something along the lines of- "Dang these 2 little lovebirds really seem to have their shit together! What a team!"
And we do. And we are. Usually.
We have mostly learned to take caregiver changes and challenges in stride. So it isn't like it was a big deal when the caregivers dwindled from 4 down to 1 over the last month or so. In fact, it was a decision made with my full support.
Maybe (probably) it was the rain, or maybe it was work pressure that I chose to carry on my shoulders. It likely had to do with caring for our poor pup Quill with the broken and then amputated toe. It was houseguests, training new employees, and the general chaos of life. What I am trying to say here is- I admit it- I got kind of stressed out. Rephrase/confession- maybe I am always a little stressed out.
I typically love this Poor House hubbub. The buzz of activity over at our place feels homey, warm, and busy-busy, but busy in a good way. But I am very human and if I suffer from lack of sleep, hormonally induced irritability, or some other something that turns my perspective askew (if it happens in combo we are really in trouble), the usual welcome and gregarious atmosphere around here feels straight up oppressive. The incessant cycles of comings and goings make my head spin. And the transparency that I willingly accept within our home begins to feels like this big old spotlight illuminating everything about me that, in those moments, I just want hidden.
And here is where it gets complicated. Here is a fact- I live a charmed, able-bodied life (and will hopefully continue to for a very long time). I have the advantage of 2 working legs and 10 agile (albeit surprisingly small) fingers to provide me with absolute physical independence. I can use them to take me places- to physically de-stress. This is a luxury that Ri currently lives without. Ri cannot physically escape my mood, his mood, his caregiver filled reality and all other stressors of life. He can't just walk shit off like the rest of us can. And while I am sure his will was always robust, this reality has made him so incredibly strong, so mentally resilient, and, at times, a bit walled off. It is true and yet, in all fairness, I can be a real handful in times of stress and that dissociative technique makes absolute sense- what else can you do when negative Andrea vibes, opinions, and anxious energy are heading directly for you? Either run or go inward- Ri's only choice is the latter.
I am writing about all of this because I recently had a realization about me myself and I. At the ripe age of 36, I still do not know how to properly self soothe. I rely heavily on the comfort of others, or the refuge of my home (which can't always be a refuge because it is also a place of employment) to help me cope with hard situations. Upon reflection, the former is probably an unfair ask, especially if you, say, work a full time job, manage employees in your home, deal with physical disability related stuff, have many types of relationships to maintain, and in general have a plate piled high to the sky with the complexities of life.
So as far as I see it, I need to add some new tools to my toolbox. Maybe they are in there and I just need to whip them out in the right moments. And maybe this medicinal sunshine could do me a favor and shimmer down on my soul with more regularity. Either way I am really excited and will keep you all posted!
And thank you, Riboo, for always helping me grow without even saying a word or expecting that I do so. Our relationship shines rays of light on these hidden parts of myself- parts I didn't even know existed but am so glad I get to learn about because, ultimately, they are teaching me the most about who I am and how I show up in this world.
Bye Bye for now and thanks for reading my blurbs!!~~

Hi all, I am currently wanting to do deployment using the apigee tool and are getting "Proxy base director . does not exist error"
I have also try using the absolute path but getting the same error
"Proxy base director /absolute/path/to/package does not exist error"
I have also used sudo but same thing happened.
I am currently doing this in a Mac.
Answer by ivancai1 · Jan 03, 2018 at 01:29 AM
I have found a solution, you will need to have be at the path where you have a subfolder called "apiproxy" with all the proxy related files in it. if you are inside the "apiproxy" folder or if you have renamed to something else after download, it will return this "Proxy base director /absolute/path/to/package does not exist error". The error is very misleading, could have been more clear by indicating the "apiproxy" folder does not exist for this particular scenario.
Answer by Gwen Au · Sep 05, 2019 at 07:50 AM
In other words, make sure that you are outside of your apiproxy folder in order to be able to deploy it. It should then work if your apiproxy folder is in your current directory.

Last night I was at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for the Writers' Guild Awards, of which ALCS (on whose Board I sit) is a sponsor. The setting was suitably glitzy and the host, Sandi Toksvig, in scintillating, cheeky form. Among the presenters, nominees and audience were such luminaries as Howard Brenton, Christopher Hampton and Steve Coogan. But many of the winners were unjustifiably less well-known names, as with both radio and TV, as well as in the cinema, it is often the actors and maybe the director who gets most of the credit, not the poor bloody writers. The whole point of the Writers' Guild is to stand up for writers and the annual awards are a good way of highlighting talent and hard work. Among the winners last night were Marcus Brigstocke (Best Radio Comedy: The Brig Society), Rebecca Wojciechowski (Best Long-running TV series: Holby City), Nathan Filer (Best First Novel: The Shock of the Fall) and Sally Wainwright (Best Long Form TV Drama: Happy Valley). There was also a moving tribute to William (Bill) Ash, master storyteller and trade unionist, who died last May. Part of the point of such award events is for people in the industry — many of whom, including me, fit the caricature of the solitary writer in dressing gown and slippers working for hours on end at the computer at home — but the Awards also help promote the work of the winners as well as raise the profile of the craft itself.

Members of my worship team sing off key!?
I'm the worship leader, I have a good ear for arrangement and sound. But the members of my team? Yep, it's about as bad as you can imagine. How do I approach this? I have already gone to the pastor, he told me to pray for God to anoint the tone-deaf people's voices. (I think they just don't want to hurt people's feelings.) But it's EXTREMELY distracting during worship. There are only two other "good" voices on the team, which makes it very hard to carry sound and quality, especially when the off key singers are attempting to back you up. I don't know how else to approach it. I suggested scrapping the whole team and auditioning everybody but that idea was shot down also. Recently the worst singer's daughter joined the team. To me, she snaked her way in. We have never had auditions for the praise team since we have had one and I know people get scared of change. But we are supposed to be pursuing excellence here and I want to start SOMEWHERE.
Let me add that I never said their worship was unaccepted by "my" God or even that it wasn't accepted by me. The awesome thing is, they have the greates hearts I've known. IF we were secular, there would be no question and bad singing wouldn't be allowed in the group. We have a greater purpose, to usher in the presence of God. And as I said, congregation members HAVE mentioned the distraction. And to whoever said it, yes, we are to be kind to everyone as Christians. But we can't be foolish. Love at times begets rebuke and I believe it's an area that can be corrected. Even God said that if He didn't love us, He wouldn't correct us.

It is true that the scriptures encourage us to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. That doesn't mean it has to be something that is hard for the congregation to listen to. As the worship leader, it is your job to coordinate that joyful noise. Look, it is not a sin to point out to the offending members of the praise team that they are singing off-key. Perhaps they don't even know it. A couple of suggestions:
It is very likely that they are not even aware that they are not singing on key. As a subtle way to point this out to them, record the praise team performance, or a rehearsal and get the members together to view/listen to it to critique it. Even let the off-key singers do solos so that it is clearer as to what is really going on. Perhaps this will be enough to get them to either bow out, or work on improving their range.
Singing off-key is something that can be corrected with a coach. Why not seek out a coach for this purpose? Sometimes it is simply a matter of making better choices as to what and where they can best contribute. Find their range and build your arrangements around what they can sing.
Some churches have multiple praise teams that alternate weeks. If your church already does this, then split the poorer singers onto each of the teams to lessen their effect. If your church doesn't do this, suggest it as a means of getting more talent involved, and make sure you are involved in the auditions.
Either way, you are not in the wrong to point out that the members of your praise team are not living up to the minimum requirements of the job. There are many ways of worshipping God on Sundays. Perhaps theirs is taking care of infants in the nursery (something there is always a need for)

I have to disagree with a lot of this because Ps 33:3 says Sing unto the Lord a new song, play loudly with expertise (I think I spelled that right) that loosely means that you should have some sort of talent and you should be good at what you do. I have been a Minister of Music for over 40 yrs and if I had a person that could not carry a tune in a bucket, I directed them to other ministries in the church. As for singing they could sing off key from the pews with the rest of the congregation. Don't get me wrong I know that everyone needs to sing praise to the Lord and that is why there are Hymn books in the pews and we have congregational songs.
Praise teams should be comprised of your best vocalist out of the choir since these people are closely miked. Yes we are a Christian to accepting and forgiving however everyone was not given the same gifts, and if sining is not one of your gifts then it is more merciful and forgiving to be told so rather than be laughed at from the congregation. Everyone must remember that everyone inside the church building is not saved!
Now as far as giving vocal lessons most church musicians do not have the time to do so especially if they are responsible for the music for several groups in the church, nor would there be any point in sending them to a vocal coach or instructor because they will have to audition for them to even see if the instructor will accept them as a student.
I do not know why everyone seems to think that is fine to give the world the best musician, and vocalist and as far as God is concerned well he can have what is left. God deserves our best and that means our best musicians, vocalist, and directors
- recorddealLv 41 decade ago
I'm a Minister of Music for 8 years at my last church.
Well 8 years this Sunday coming up.
Last year my church gave me a CAR....
Totally unexpected.
The tag say's SOWREAP
I've been directing choirs since I was around 15, 16, and 17.
Through it all ....
You have to remember that GOD doesn't hear the voices.
HE hears the hearts and the hearts only.
Man can hear the voice but very seldom hear the heart of a person.
I suggest ....
Working privately with the awful singers with the pure hearts seperately. It's a bad thing to discourage people.
The worst thing on the face of this earth is REJECTION.
No one wants to be REJECTED.
It will be hard at first. Get them to hit one not at a time.
Start with middle C or octave higher or lower.
Depending on what note you can get them to hit faster.
Once you get them to a point that they can hit that note at any time .... then move slowly to rising and falling tones.
Like C C C C D# C C C C B
Try half tones first.
Then try whole tones.
Like C C C C D C C C Bflat
Which ever they can hit first.
Then go from there ...
Be very sensitive .... as sensitive as you can to the ones who sound awful to you. I don't think they would purposely sabotage the Praise & Worship Team.
Scrapping the whole thing is SABOTAGE ... he he he
not meant to be an insult .... If you need any more help on this just ask ... I would be glad to help in anyway I can .... Even help you with the training ...

I once went to a little country church where the only key the choir knew was the one that unlocked the front door. The closest analogy I can think of to describe their singing is a live peacock and a handful of ball bearings tossed into a Cuisinart at high speed.
But the Lord loved those dear, sweet, tone-deaf, sincere worshippers, and you could feel the Holy Spirit moving through that church every time that they sang. Maybe you should ask God to give all your worship team the desire to worship Him with all their hearts. It may not improve their singing, but if their "joyful noise" pleases Him, that's all that matters.
Excellence to God and excellence to man are seldom the same thing, I've found. But if the problem is really that bad, maybe you could offer some singing lessons to those in need of them.
Failing that, buy everyone a small personal microphone. . .and turn theirs off. :-)Source(s): Been there, done that, know how you feel.
- Mama KateLv 61 decade ago
Is your voice trained? Since you are the leader of your group, I would say that if you were to organize them according to the tone of their voice and try and teach them how to sing on key would be good. Think about it, praying together is a very intimate thing, if you can pray with them, you could definitely help them learn to sing and on key. I will pray it all works out.

yes, you really should be having auditions... your worship team could be at its best with members with a God-given gift of singing. As the worship group you lead the worship and try to sound good while keeping praising God at the motive for the group. Push for auditions. :)
but i do agree with those who answered above, glorifying God doesn't have levels of talent, you just do it from your heart and that's the best sound God can hear :)
- ShinigamiLv 71 decade ago
Tape them and play it back while their eyes are closed.
Mind you, there was this nun once (very beautiful woman, tall, willowy, blonde....*sighs*) *slaps self* Anyway, she told us once that she was singing with the mentally handicapped , and this one guy with Down's Syndrome threw her off all the time with his toneless (very loud) voice, which she had right in her ear because he was that close to her.
She had to let go of perfection.
It was a great story.

God, tells you to Praise him, that means on key, off key. praise his name. It might bother you, just asked the lord to help you, to deal with, Because they are doing what he wants, they don't need the prayer. When your singing to him, that is so personal to me as a christian, nothing should be on your mind but him. Pray to strengthen your relationship with God, Because he's telling my spirit that truly that's your detraction. Don't forget why your the workship leader, your true job is to make sure everyone is workshipping him, God doesn't pick or judge who does it better. Just WORKSHIP HIM. Have a blessed day! Stay in courage, don't forget what church is about, no one is perfect, he loves us despite all differences and flaws.
- reinadelazLv 61 decade ago
Making a joyful noise does not necessarily mean to sing beautifully. Ask God to give you the grace to hear with your heart rather than your ears, so that you will be able to serve with these people in a joyful way. God bless.

Today, I was preparing to write this blog post- feeling in my heart that it was time to share a link to some of Micah's creative writing. Then discovered later today that he won four regional awards for four writing pieces in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. It is fitting indeed.
Micah has been taking Creative Writing through The Potter's School this year. It has been a wonderful "capstone" class for his senior year; one that he has thoroughly enjoyed and has helped sharpen his abilities.
Throughout the course, students build a blog to showcase their work and interact with their classmates. They submit assignments through their study place account and also post them on their blogs.
I have often pondered sharing a link or two-
but today, I was delighted to read one of his latest assignments- A Panagram.
And so, I would like to share this piece here via a link (with his permission) to his own personal writing space.

Here at Oblong, we've long been demanding, and creating, a new human-machine interface built with collaboration in mind, and Futurism.com recently gave our very own John Underkoffler an opportunity to explain why it's so important to do so. "It's time," he declares. John points to the fact that the original keyboard-mouse-GUI screen scenario invented more than 30 years ago is woefully inadequate compared to where we should be in by now in servicing the collaborative computing needs of humans in the workplace. "The world… and its problems… demand more sophisticated thinking, tools, and patterns of work," he argued. "We humans have always been capable of infinitely more than that primordial Mac UI lets us express."
Underkoffler points to the need for greater levels of collaboration between workers, and the desirability of expanding into "extended pixel spaces, in which screens and displays turn corners to fill several walls while also interoperating with personal device displays." Underkoffler delivers a powerful call to arms. "New UI is a universal revolution," he said. "The time is now."

In the 1970s, Richard Matheson became associated with director Dan Curtis for a number of television movies, much as he had become inseparable from Roger Corman's Poe films in the '60s. But there was another co-conspirator this time around, maybe the musical equivalent...
It's discouraging that one of Richard Matheson's greatest novels, I Am Legend, has yet to be turned into a wholly satisfying film (unless one counts Night of the Living Dead, which doesn't officially credit Matheson's book as a source, but ...). Two attempts have been...
Matheson wrote another important comedy for AIP in 1964. It boasted, once again, a familiar cast, including Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, and Basil Rathbone, who had played the mesmerist in the final segment of Tales of Terror. But this film wasn't directe...
What follows is a retrospective I worked on with Mr. Matheson in 2003. It originally appeared on Filmfodder.com, and I see no good reason why it shouldn't now take up residence here. In fact, I consider this version to be definitive, as I have updated the style of punc...

Grammar's Part When Telling Your Story
Editing your own work can sometimes be quite a challenge. Everyone's end game is to ensure what you write conveys your message effectively and tells your story. The last thing you want to have is that beautifully-crafted piece discarded due to a grammatical error. To make every moment count and have your voice heard, we have compiled a few tips and tricks to help you avoid getting caught in a tangled web of spelling and grammatical errors.
Embrace spell check. It can be just that simple. For those who do a lot of writing outside programs like Word, there are apps like Grammarly that help catch errors. Spell check is a must and has improved to the point that the software includes a number of common grammar mistakes to help you further.
Reread. Before you send or share something with anyone, you should make it a habit to read the material. It is amazing how our minds work, but sometimes they are not always in sync with what we are trying to say. Reading what you've written before you hit send could make a considerable difference. While you are at it; print out the piece you plan to review. Not only does it make the writing sample tangible and easier to edit, it also allows you to see it in its finished form.
Give it time. Do your best to allow for time between the completed written material and the review. Time can bring clarity and sometimes even inspiration to improve your written piece.
Have someone else proofread your work. You know what you are trying to say, which can place you at a disadvantage to notice a content or punctuation mistake. Someone with a fresh set of eyes often has the ability to see things you don't. This person can also provide valuable input or feedback to confirm that your point is understood.
Confirm the details are correct. Is there a phone number? Confirm by calling it. Is there an address? Confirm it's correct. Is there a date? Make sure the day and the date match, and the year is accurate. Does the piece include URL links or email addresses? Check them to make sure they actually match at the right destination. Nothing kills a party faster than inviting everyone the day AFTER the event has occurred. These details also extend to tracking links. Part of a complete proof includes making sure all links contain the proper tracking information (if applicable) so measurement can be conducted.
Read Aloud. When you force yourself to read out loud, you slow down your reading and have the added bonus of hearing what is on the page. The latest version of Word includes a Read Aloud function allowing your device to read the piece for you. Close your eyes and just listen; after all, you want your readers to listen to you.
Proof titles, headlines, captions and contact information separately. We are often so focused on the main content, we tend to overlook the fine print and words in bold, especially when this content is incorporated into the design of a piece. Take a moment to review and confirm ALL content is accurate before considering the piece finished.
Part of successfully telling the story is to allow the story to shine. A story that contains grammatical errors has the propensity to lose the opportunity to connect and engage with our audience. These simple, but effective tips will improve your outcome and help you create a powerful story. Happy writing!

Nearly everybody has their own hobby or pastime that they can enjoy in their spare time. However, not everyone has explored their hobby sufficiently to get all the can from the experience. This article has so many tips, you're bound to learn something new!
Reading is a truly valuable hobby to have. Reading can take you different places. You can also pretty much read just about anywhere, as long as it's quiet. There are many different choices of books, so you will surely be able to find one you like.
For anyone looking to turn a hobby into a money-making business, first you will need a name. Once a name has been selected, you are on your way. When you are choosing a name, remember that it should be related to your business products and easy to remember.
Hiking is a great pastime that allows you the chance to enjoy nature and get in shape. Finding different paths can be a lot of fun. Take a friend along and have a nice, long picnic lunch.
Ice fishing is a cool hobby. Fishing is sure to always be around as a hobby. It has stood up to the test of time. You will need patience until you land the next big catch. You can either keep the fish or release it back into the water.
Horse riding is a great hobby that gets you outside. On horseback, you can enjoy off road trails, allowing you to find new animals and see hidden spots in the wilderness. Horseback riding also allows you to become friends with your horse, which will provide you with a further connection to nature.
Most people have hobbies, and they are valuable to the people who have them. The fact is, however, most people need to learn a few more things about their hobbies and what they can do for them. It is hoped that you have learned something new today from this article.

Most of the die-hard fans of Peter Pan are now under the charm of Captain Hook as they have found that being part of his pirate crew can actually be more rewarding at Magical Vegas. You can find out by yourself that at Magical Vegas, the great riches are indeed what Captain Hook can offer you with the newly released Hook's Heroes Slot.
This cleverly designed 5 reels 20 pay-lines online video slot is a fantasy creation of NetEnt, and its background is the cartoon-style animated choppy high-seas of Neverland crushing against your boat, while it's trying to reach the shore of the island where great treasures are buried. Features on this game are the Feature Spins and 3 superb Free Spins Feature which are the Fairy Feature, Mermaid Feature, and Pirate Feature.
Watch out for Captain Hook on Hook's Heroes Slot as he adores to go Wild on the reels, and he will favourably set up for all other symbols except the scatter to help comprise winning combinations. Peter Pan in the costume of a crocodile is the rewarding scatter symbol, and any 2 such symbols landing anywhere on the reels on the reels will award you 1 free Feature Spin with a randomly chosen feature.
3 scatters appearing anywhere on the reels will trigger the Free Spins Feature, where you will get the chance to choose which of the 3 Free Spins Features you wish to play. With 4 or 5 scatters landing on the reels, you will get 2 or 3 Free Spins Picks respectively. The Free Spins include features such as Wild overlays, Wild multipliers, and winning combinations with visible identical symbols anywhere on the reels.
Hook's Heroes Slot is themed on one of the world's most popular story, and it's not surprising if you get hooked to this game at Magical Vegas!

HBA: As a famous historical brand, how do you bring Fabergé's heritage to the contemporary watches collections?
AP: In the pre-1917 era, almost everyone knows Fabergé just for their bejeweled eggs, but (and even I didn't know this before starting here) they were actually also creating watches, clocks, integrated eggs and other objects to tell the time in a new way.
When the Bolshevik revolution happened in 1917 everything was stopped, so when we re-launched Fabergé watches in 2015 we wanted to make sure the first ladies model had the same brand values – the Lady Compliquée.
Lady Compliquée timepiece with emeralds, Fabergé
HBA: How does the watch do this?
AP: The 1908 Fabergé "Peacock Egg" inspired the idea for the Lady Compliquée: the peacock was an automaton inside the egg that could be wound so that it would start walking outside. It was very impressive.
This watch only indicates the hours and minutes, but in a very complicated way in terms of movement (that becomes simple once you know how to read it!). You have the rotating bezel indicating the hours so you read them at the crown, and the peacock's moving feathers show the minutes on the little dial. It's more of a poetic complication than anything; we want to tell stories. because today people don't really need a watch to tell the time.
Fabergé's famous bejeweled eggs inspire the collections today, such as the Palais Tsarskoye Selo turquoise locket, Dhs31,630
HBA: What led you to your role today?
AP: I don't have a classic journey at all. I finished engineering school before working in the luxury car industry, finding new materials for their interiors. I really learned a lot, but I need to work with passion and could tell I was not completely passionate about what I was doing.
I didn't know anything about the watch industry, but then one of my girlfriends sent me a job posting for Swatch Group. There I worked with all their brands, discovering watchmaking and the way watchmakers created these complications. I completely fell in love with the product and the passion of the people. That's when I realised I needed to work in product development, and worked with Omega and Audemars Piguet before joining Fabergé in 2013.
Aurélie Picaud, Timepieces Director at Fabergé
HBA: As a woman working in the watches industry, have you encountered any particular challenges?
AP: The challenge is that we are preconditioned by society. I think that as a woman you sometimes think the watchmaking industry is intimidating because it consists mostly of men, and I think that everyone has to just think of themself as an individual asset, regardless of whether you are a woman or a man. Saying that, the watchmaking industry is really changing and more and more women are here, which is good. But as a woman we need to think more "I can do it."
HBA: What is your key advice for a woman looking to buy her first complicated watch?
AP: Look at the brands who are dedicated to women's timepieces – not just quartz and pink dials – but real watches for women with beautiful mechanisms. Understand how the brands are thinking, for example, how the mechanism works and where the production is done. Even meet with the artisans behind the watch if you can – a true luxury brand should be able to offer you all these things.
Fabergé Dalliance timepiece with Gemfields rubies
HBA: What are your personal impressions of female watch tastes in the Middle East?
People are very interested and looking for a unique offering here, so it's a hugely important market. Coloured gemstones really appeal, so sometimes there are special editions for the Middle East.
However, I think the future trend will go towards more unisex watches, because the cliché of creating women's watches in mother-of-pearl in pink or baby blue, or adding a few diamonds to a men's watch that has been reduced in size, doesn't work anymore. The cliché is that women don't care about complications, and I really don't think that's true.

Interdisciplinary Works in Logic, Epistemology, Psychology and Linguistics
Dialogue, Rationality, and Formalism
- Editors
- (view affiliations)
Part of the Logic, Argumentation & Reasoning book series (LARI, volume 3)
Part of the Logic, Argumentation & Reasoning book series (LARI, volume 3)
This book presents comparisons of recent accounts in the formalization of natural language (dynamic logics and formal semantics) with informal conceptions of interaction (dialogue, natural logic, and attribution of rationality) that have been developed in both psychology and epistemology. There are four parts which explore: historical and systematic studies; the formalization of context in epistemology; the formalization of reasoning in interactive contexts in psychology; the formalization of pathological conversations.
Part one discusses the Erlangen School, which proposed a logical analysis of science as well as an operational reconstruction of psychological concepts. These first chapters provide epistemological and psychological insights into a conceptual reassessment of rational reconstruction from a pragmatic point of view.
The second focus is on formal epistemology, where there has recently been a vigorous contribution from experts in epistemic and doxatic logics and an attempt to account for a more realistic, cognitively plausible conception of knowledge.
The third part of this book examines the meeting point between logic and the human and social sciences and the fourth part focuses on research at the intersection between linguistics and psychology.
Internationally renowned scholars have contributed to this volume, building on the findings and themes relevant to an interdisciplinary scientific project called DiaRaFor ("Dialogue, Rationality, Formalisms") which was hosted by the MSH Lorraine (Lorraine Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities) from 2007 to 2011.

Northwind blows into Houston
Saturday, January 20 2007 @ 03:44 pm ACDT
Contributed by: Brett Northey
Views: 3,519
Later today the United States national Australian Football side, the Revolution, take on Canada's Northwind in the first international for 2007. Despite often being very competitive, the northerners have never managed to defeat the Stars and Stripes in Aussie Rules. The following is a press release from AFL Canada's Bill Frampton, previewing the match from the Northwind's perspective, including the squad and some history of their past meetings. WFN believes that the match will see the debut of several new players, including Vancouver's young gun Scott Fleming, probably the first "graduate" of the successful North Delta Junior AFL. The lineup also features players from Ontario's 2006 debut club, the Central Blues.
Northwind blows into Houston
The 2007 Australian Rules football season kicks off this Saturday, January 20th at 1:30 PM CST at Tom Bass Park in Houston when the United States Revolution play host to Canada's Northwind.
This will be the seventh meeting between the two countries and the first of two games planned this year. The teams will meet in a return match in Vancouver at the beginning of August. The Northwind take a 2-game winning streak into this one after finishing the 2005 International Cup with wins over Spain and South Africa.
Northwind players have been training for this game since early November, Ontario Australian Football League players at the Hangar in Toronto and western players at locations in Vancouver and Calgary.
Under the leadership of head coach Mark Block and team manager Marty Walter, the Northwind players are looking for their first win over the Revolution. The team is a blend of veterans from past Internationals and new talent, with captain Stefan Leyhane leading the way in his 18th appearance for the Northwind and seventh as captain.
Northwind fans are well aware that the last two meetings between the teams were close ones with the Revolution winning by two points four years ago in Pittsburgh and 12 points three years ago at Humber North Oval in Toronto. Both teams want a win as they start building toward the 2008 International Cup in Australia.
Here is the Northwind roster for the game:
Mark Block (Toronto Eagles, head coach)
Troy Marsh (Toronto Eagles, assistant coach)
Dr. James Fung (team doctor)
Stefan Leyhane (Broadview Hawks, captain)
Mike Butcher (Toronto Dingos, assistant captain)
Aaron Falcioni (Toronto Eagles, assistant captain)

Frank Luisser (Toronto Eagles)
James Maitland (Lakeshore Rebels)
Dan McIlravey (Toronto Dingos)
Kevin Minaker (Toronto Eagles)
Scott Fleming (Vancouver Cougars)

Why Labor's childcare policy is the biggest economic news of the election campaign
In an election campaign full of giveaways but short on serious economic reform, Labor's proposed change to childcare support is the most important economic news.
It fits in with this year's Grattan Institute Commonwealth Orange Book, which identified getting more women into the workforce as one of the most valuable things the next government could do.
Female participation in the labour force is lower in Australia than in similar countries. It is particularly low for women working full-time.

Dear Parents/Carers
We welcome you and your child to Key Stage 2 and Year 3 Star class. This is to let you know about some of our routines.
Staff – The teacher for Star Class is Mrs Smith supported by Mrs Matthews ( HLTA) .
Early morning routine – Your child can go into the playground from 0820 (with book bag and lunchbox) on Monday and Friday, and when the bell rings at 08:30 the children will line up with their belongings, and then go into the year 3 classroom. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings the children can go into school at 0820 for their response marking and to read before school starts at 0835. The register is called in class at 0835 promptly and closes at 0840.
Fruit time – The children can bring in their own piece of fruit for break at 10:30.
Drinks – Each child will need to bring in a named water bottle to drink water throughout the day.
End of day routine – The day ends for the children at 15:00 with the siblings going outside to be collected and the singles remaining in the year 4 classroom until they leave at 15:15.
Pencil cases– your child is welcome to bring in their own small pencil case, which they are responsible for, it is not however essential.
Uniform – We ask that you regularly check that all clothing is clearly labelled, especially jumpers and coats, including their PE kit, and that all children are provided with a hat in hot weather, and a coat when it is cold or wet. We like to get the children out at playtime every day, even in light rain!
P.E – Our class will have PE/Dance lessons each week, so please make sure their kits are in school each week, these should be brought into school on Mondays and taken home to wash on Friday if necessary. We do only have a small amount of spare kit for anyone to use. Our specific PE days are a Tuesday and Thursday. The children will need both an indoor and outdoor kit. Please make sure the top for their outdoor kit is one without a hood.
Reading – We will be doing various reading activities every day, and therefore please make sure that the children always have their books in their reading bags in school. Every child will continue with their reading record, and it is helpful if you can write in it each time you read with your child, and adults at school will do the same to keep you informed of your child's progress. However, I need to stress that these books are mainly a home reading book, and we will not always hear them read these books.
Homework – The expectation is the children will read daily at home and work on their times tables. We will have a spelling focus and will be expecting the children to use these words within their writing.
Dojo – We will continue to use this for important communication and rewards.
We look forward to working with your children this year.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs S. Smith and Mrs Matthews

If you examine the reasons for installing an auto window film in your car or truck, you'll surely understand why you have not done it before. Bear in mind that these are devised long back and many individuals are unaware of this awesome substance which protects your auto from several elements.
Additionally, it is offered in a whole new assortment of different styles and tints. This awesome material also possesses great properties that can make your driving not just safer but also comfortable.Now let us take a look at a few of the significant features and advantages of vehicle window repair in Los angeles.
1) Reduces Glare
As most of us know it is extremely disturbing to drive the vehicle during the scorching sun because it will get through your eyes and makes you squint. Not just these, it will adversely impact the visibility thereby compromising your security.
As soon as you apply window tinting in Dubai from some of the top car tinting centers nearby for your auto, warmth is significantly reduced and thereby enhancing the eyesight and safety.
2) Reduces Incoming Heat
Through automobile glass, sun rays can enter the car's interior and can make the metal components particularly the seat belt locks warm and thereby making it tough to touch. What's more, it also adversely affects the comfy driving of the passengers.
By the reports, auto window film rejects around 60% of the solar energy entering a motor vehicle. This can in turn radically decrease the excessive heat in the vehicle and will assist in creating a more comfortable temperature in the car.

I don't have much to talk about today, so rather than try to make a cohesive, meaningful post (like I usually do? HA!) I'm just going to throw a bunch of random things out. First and foremost, today is Ray Ray's birthday – H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y R A Y R A Y! Thanks for your support, and I hope you're having fun at Denny's. In honor of Ray Ray's birthday, I drew balloons on the post-it note I left on her desk – normally I just leave plain old post-it notes. She thought the balloons were little sperms, which is a testament to my artistic abilities.
Ray Ray invited me to go to Denny's, but I have either a whole lotta PMS, or a whole lotta pregnant going on, and didn't really want to leave the house. But, I think we should go paint coffee mugs soon – and I do hereby solemnly swear that I will go next time. I wrote it on the internet, it HAS to be true.
I took the first step in changing my name today, and ordered a copy of my marriage license. Yes, I'm actually going to go through with it. I plan to be with Jason for the rest of my life, and bear his child(ren), so I shall take his last name. Ya'll, please let me be pregnant. Please? I know, I shouldn't obsess. I shouldn't. Won't. Moving on.
Today at work I was complaining about the noise level, and told my sister (who happens to work with me) that I was going to bring in ear plugs. She then reminded me of this strange woman that we used to work with, who hated the noises at that place so much that she wore these GIGANTIC, noise cancelling headphone things. The type that look really cool if you're a hip, DJ sort of person, but if you're a zany, Weeble sort of person they make you look like a cartoon character.

Common mode current often enters the victim device via the AC or DC power lines to the device. Likewise, the RFI source device often conducts common mode current through the AC power line where it is picked up by the victim device. The AC or DC path must be choked to suppress the interference. Common mode chokes are used for this purpose.
Choose a choke that physically fits the power cord as a "SLIP ON" or as a "SNAP ON" around the cord. SNAP ONs are very convenient when large power plugs are present or thick cables such as 240 volt lines used to power linear amplifiers. As with all chokes, the more turns around or through the choke the better choking effect it will have. In some difficult cases it may be necessary to cascade or put several chokes in series to get enough choking impedance to reduce the common mode current. The choke impedances are additive in a series connection. A higher impedance gives a lower common mode current (I=E/R).
Mix Selection
Remember to choose the proper "MIX" for the interfering frequency:
Mix 75 for 150 KHz-10 MHz (includes AM broadcast band)
Mix 31 for 1-300 MHz (suitable for most HF amateur and commercial transmitters)
Mix 61 for 200-2000 MHz
Mix 43 for 20-250 MHz (includes FM broadcast, aircraft, commercial radio)
Not sure of what mix to get for your RFI/EMI needs? Try the Ferrite Ring Combo Pack which covers RFI suppression from .1 – 2000 Mhz and solves most AC/DC cable and many coax antenna feed line common mode issues.
Got a noisy switch mode power supply? Here is a set of filters for the AC power line and the DC output line which helps suppress common mode current thereby reducing RFI/Noise radiated or conducted to nearby sensitive electronic equipment. Simple to install and no modifications needed to equipment.
Here are some additional choices for various AC and DC power line chokes (click on product link for pricing info and quantity discounts):
STANDARD Ring Noise Filter (2.4″ OD, 1.4″ ID) – fit typical AC power cords of 120/240 VAC electronics
Typical installations suitable for most AC powered appliances
Application Note: Cordless Electric Drill Battery Charger RFI suppression – use F240-31 on AC power cord with 4-6 turns similar to picture above. Symptom is RFI noise on 20-60 MHz. Just another example of a Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) RFI issue which is usually very broadband in nature.
LARGE Ring Noise Filter (4″ OD, 3″ ID) – fit typical AC power cords of 240 VAC electronics
Excellent for large cables or multiple cables – use multiple cores for higher choking. Also useful when you need high turns count for high choking
Big Clamp On Noise Filter (1″ ID) – for large power cables or multiple turns of standard 120 VAC 20 amp cables
Wall Wart Power Line RFI Kit
Wall wart dc power supplies can be a source of significant RFI noise from common mode current using the DC power lead as the "antenna". To suppress the RFI noise and to decouple the antenna use a small ferrite ring with the DC cord wound through it.
Since most users have many wall wart power supplies for various electronic devices, we have a special bulk supply RFI kit for 10 wall warts.
STANDARD Ring Common Mode Noise Filter (2.4″ OD, 1.4″ ID) – fit typical DC power cords up to 20 amps
Typical installations suitable for most DC powered appliances (excellent for mobile radio transceiver DC connectors to reduce ignition noise and prevent RFI from radio back into car computers and vice-versa). Also excellent noise suppression for AC powered switching DC supplies (SMPS) – use one filter on DC output and another on AC input. Twist wires prior to winding for best results. Use mix 75 for best suppression at switching frequencies.
|F240 on DC cable – 4 turns shown
LARGE Ring Common Mode Noise Filter (4″ OD, 3″ ID) – fit typical DC power cords over 20 amps, also works for AC power cords
Excellent for large cables or multiple cables – use multiple cores for higher choking. Also useful when you need high turns count for high choking
Typical application: Very good for high turn count/high choking on large cables or cables with big connectors. Higher turns count possible than FSB-1 with 3″ hole size.
Big Clamp On Noise Filter (1″ ID) – for large power cables or cables with connectors
DC Common Mode Noise Filter for marine, mobile, portable and fixed station HF operations
The RFI-DC-30 is a common mode noise filter for DC powered equipment up to 30 amps and 600 VDC at 105 degrees C and provides effective dual suppression of common mode current with individual chokes on the positive and negative cables in the HF frequency range from 1-61 MHz (beneficial up to 160 MHz). Very useful for suppressing noise from generators, inverters, battery chargers, solar panels, wind generators, and other noise producing devices sharing the same DC power bus. Simple to install between noise source and noise victim without any modifications to either device.
The enclosure box is a PVC 4″ x4″ x 2″ weather resistant enclosure with 1/4″ stainless hardware for ease of connection to DC voltage circuits and (optionally) to ground for greater attenuation of the common mode current present on the DC positive and negative lines.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A KC man is facing murder and assault charges in a double shooting this week that left one man dead and a woman injured.
Bryant Robinson, 24, has been charged with second-degree murder, first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action in Jackson County.
On Monday, police were dispatched to a reported shooting near 63rd and Manchester where officers found the two victims inside a car suffering from gunshot wounds. Michael Garrett, 40, died from his injuries. The woman driving was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Court records say witnesses told police a silver Dodge Ram pickup was behind the victims' car on 63rd Street when someone inside the vehicle allegedly stuck a rifle out the window and fired numerous times.
Surveillance video showed the truck following the victims' vehicle, and the truck's license plate traced back to Enterprise Rental, court records say. The company said Robinson rented the truck.
According to police reports, Robinson was the victim of a 2013 shooting that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Garrett was a suspect in that shooting, but he wasn't pursued, according to court records, because Robinson declined to cooperate with the investigation.
Prosecutors have requested a bond of $150,000 cash.

Levenger Coupon (and a word of warning)
First, the coupon:
$15 off any merchandise purchase of $100 or more. 9H3022 Before September 20th, 2009.
Second, the warning:
If you have moved sometime in the last little while, and perhaps more so if you do not live in the USA, you might want to pay attention to the following story. I moved in May 2008 and have ordered twice from Levenger this summer, both times with Fedex ground shipping. BOTH times, Levenger made the same mistake: despite the fact that my old address is nowhere to be seen on my side of their web site, they have actually slapped my OLD address on the Fedex forms, while there is also a label on the package with my current address. Of course, Fedex tries to deliver to my old address, where the package is refused, and then it's up to me to run after Fedex to give them my new shipping address.
For this to happen once is annoying. It happened twice and I'm not a happy camper. It looks like customer service did not pass the word to whoever is responsible for the computing mistake there (after it happened the first time), or nobody cared to fix the bug because it's only affecting non-American customers (or is it??). They have refunded the shipping both times, but I'd be happier if I was truly assured they'd fix the problem.
In any case, I'm not going to be using that coupon anytime soon, I'm levengered-out. Happy shopping and if you've moved recently you might want to give them a call before your order ships.
I haven't had this problem
I haven't had this problem with Levenger but with another company.. seems both partys are dropping the ball.. hope they get it straightened out!
There was a "free shipping" coupon...
... but I trashed it 'cause it had a $100 minimum purchase on it.
"I think the surest sign that there is intelligent life out there in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." (Calvin and Hobbes/Bill Waterson)
(I had that problem with eBay once...hadn't erased a bunch of old addresses after I got out of college...and somehow a seller managed to send my purchase to my ex [despite the fact that I'd put in the comments which address to send it to]. Awkward! Now I know: no addresses that I don't want to use belong in my eBay account!!)
New coupon code?
Does anyone have a current code for Levenger? Even a $100 minimum will work, I have to suck it up and buy a desk punch. I just moved so I'm not getting catalogs right now. Thanks.
Did you try pleading a bit over here ... ?

Our Story
Virtual Charity Runs was founded by the dog-loving duo and parents to two lovable rescue pups, Aaron & Shannyn.
Our doggies Bo the Boston Terrier and Matilda the Pug are both from Chicago area rescues and are special parts of our lives. Many rescues struggle to make ends meet with the high cost of rehabilitative medical care for severely abused and neglected dogs, as well as meet the demand to buy dogs out of terrible puppy mill situations where the situation is dire.
We've done 14 races and fundraised $66,520.95 for charity – mainly dog rescues – and with your help, we hope to do more. We donate as much as possible, as often as possible.

An exhaustive review of the instrumentation involved in cable fault finding would require a week's worth of class time and then some. But as a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so does the understanding of instrumentation used for cable fault finding.
First, the important pieces
Three critical pieces of test equipment must be considered when discussing cable fault finding:
Using the Insulation Tester
When a known or suspected electrical problem exists (like smoke coming out of the ground), the faulted cable must be identified. For this step, an insulation tester (megohmmeter) or dielectric test set (high-pot) is used. These are DC test sets capable of medium- or high-voltage output.
The tester is connected across the insulation of the suspect cable, typically phase to ground, but other configurations may be utilized, especially for difficult problems. The applied voltage pulls leakage current through the insulation. No insulation is perfect in all situations (consider what can happen during a lightning strike), but 'good' insulation allows only nano-amps of leakage.
The tester uses Ohm's law to calculate insulation resistance. The operator looks for cables or phases that produce low resistance measurements. Typically these are kΩ to low MΩ values. In the Megger line, MIT400 Series 1 kV handheld testers will do the job for circuits rated at building wiring levels, whereas for higher-voltage circuits, MIT525, 1025, and 1525 are the products of choice. For the highest-rated circuits, the 220 series of dielectric test sets may be used.
Time for the TDR
Once the faulted circuit has been identified, a TDR locates the fault. This instrument works on the same principle as radar detection along a highway - the time it takes a signal to return to the source translated into distance in the case of the TDR (or speed, in the case of radar detection).
The instrument sends an energy pulse through the insulation between two conductors in a cable. Wherever there is a change in impedance, some of the energy echoes back. The time it takes for that to occur, coupled with the velocity of propagation (speed of the impulse through the insulating material), calculates the distance to the fault. The tester displays this first as a trace on the instrument's display, somewhat similar to what you might see on an oscilloscope.
A perfect cable would produce a perfectly flat line, interrupted only by the end of the cable, which can easily be determined by opening and shorting the conductors. The trace will flip up (open) and down (short) as the cable ends are manipulated.
A faulted cable will produce an additional reflection at the point of the fault. The operator then moves a cursor across the screen to the beginning of the reflection and, if the VoP has been correctly set, the TDR will indicate the distance to the fault.
Different types of faults produce distinct reflection shapes, which the operator will be able to quickly recognize and interpret. In Megger's catalog, CFL510G is a good starting point. Additional models offer additional features.
Because telecom, datacom, and control cabling is relatively simple and highly standardized, a TDR is all that is needed to locate faults. For power cable, however, the extreme variability limits the use of a TDR as a stand-alone solution. Power cable can develop what is termed "high resistance" faults (>100 Ω) that may require the addition of what is called a 'thumper' to the test equipment arsenal. Use of a TDR-thumper combination is another situation beyond the scope of this note.
The Cable Route Tracer
Having found the distance to the fault, the operator may now be faced with an "uh-oh" moment. You know it's, say, 350 feet away, but that could be anywhere 360° around you. The fault could be in front of you, behind you, or to the left or right of you. Unless equipped with a reliable wire map…and good luck with that...you will then need a cable route tracer.
Cable route tracers are two-piece devices: a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter puts a high-frequency tracing tone on the cable and can even be used on energized cable. The operator then walks the line holding the receiver, which visually and audibly indicates strength of signal and positions the operator directly over the cable.
Continue in the indicated direction for the distance found with the TDR, and you are then within a convenient working distance of the fault. For route tracing, Megger offers the AccuTrace Cable Route Tracer.
Although it may seem daunting to find a cable fault, by using the correct instrumentation you should be able to locate your fault in no time at all.
