New Samsung Galaxy S5 Lollipop Release Confirmed
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Lollipop release has been confirmed for another Canadian carrier and if its website is any indication, this new Galaxy S5 Lollipop update should start hitting devices in the near future.
In December, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Lollipop update started rolling out for the first time bringing new features, enhancements and fixes to Samsung's former flagship. Slowly but surely, Samsung and its carrier partners have been rolling out Galaxy S5 Lollipop updates though the Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 release is still quite limited.
In North America, its rolled out to a trio of U.S. carriers including Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile. AT&T says that it's working on an upgrade but it hasn't outlined a specific Galaxy S5 Lollipop release date. Canada will also get the Galaxy S5 Lollipop upgrade and we're now up to two confirmed Canada-bound Galaxy S5 Lollipop updates.
Weeks ago, Canadian carrier Rogers confirmed a Galaxy S5 Lollipop release for February or March. With February now over and done with, the carrier is now committing to a release sometime this month. It appears that it will be joined by Bell, another Canadian carrier that's now confirmed a Galaxy S5 Lollipop release of its own.
Android 5.0 Lollipop is now available to Bell's Samsung Galaxy S5 customers! To learn more, please visit https://t.co/XeEpTw62Rv
— Bell (@Bell) March 3, 2015
Bell's website says that the current OS version for its Galaxy S5 is Android 5.0 Lollipop and it has confirmed the roll out through its Twitter account though it's not clear if the update is rolling out just yet. SamMobile's firmware page, which is generally accurate, does not list a roll out. Often times, announcements come shortly before the start of the OTA so we should see some movement from the carrier in the near future.
The update will bring Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop features along with it and Bell says that it will also deliver various improvements to its version of the Galaxy S5. It does not say what those improvements are. We expect all Canadian Galaxy S5 Lollipop updates to mirror Bell's version of the update. Samsung Galaxy S5 Lollipop update's have focused on Google's features and the changes to TouchWiz but they've also come with changes unique to the carrier.
Samsung's Galaxy S5 Lollipop update has made a great deal of progress in the weeks since its initial release though there is still a long way to go before it's complete. The upgrade has landed for several international models though it remains missing on many others. Most carriers remain silent, even the ones that typically aren't silent, and we're still not sure when or if we'll see the update roll out in full force.
The company has also confirmed a Galaxy S5 LTE-A Android 5.0 Lollipop release and Rogers has also confirmed an arrival for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active. It's not clear when those updates will start rolling out though Samsung, at the time, said that it was committed to pushing out the Galaxy S5 LTE-A Android 5.0 Lollipop update in "early 2015."
Samsung France has also confirmed a Q2 Lollipop release for the Galaxy S5 mini though a specific release date for the smaller Galaxy S5 variant remains out of reach.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Lollipop release isn't the only software moving out. Samsung's also begun pushing out Android 5.0 Lollipop updates to the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4, and Galaxy Note Edge. The four updates are in various stages of release and all four are expected to hit U.S. and international carriers at some point in the future.
None of these roll outs are expected to finish up any time soon and we should see Samsung continue to roll them out as get deeper into the year.

Watch out before you update your Samsung S5 because the update will eat up your battery life and all of your apps will load slower and u lull probably have problems with your wifi connection. I'm sorry I ever did this so called upgrade. If you ask me, it's a downgrade.

Tektro D40.11 brake pads are intended for use with the Tektro Dorado (HD-E710) hydraulic disc brakes for E-Bikes. For use with 180mm rotor. Each set replaces the inside and outside pads for one (1) wheel. To replace the pads for one bike, you will need two (2) sets.
How to identify your brake pad type
Start by identifying which brake system is on your bike. The easiest way is to look at the lever. The table above will help you identify the brake system based on the lever design. You can also look at the caliper to confirm the brake system type. Take note of the pad type in the last two columns. Most of our e-bike use the Shimano B01S compatible pad.
Tektro HD-E715 vs. HD-E710These two brake systems appear alike, however, they are different. The brake pads are not interchangeable between the models. The HD-E710 has a larger pad which is more difficult to find online and at your local bicycle repair shop. The HD-E715 uses the commonly available Shimano B01S brake pad. Check the marking on the lever to determine which 700-series brake system you have.

'Twas the write before Christmas #4
'This one will do fine, this one is perfect!.'
The tree I have happy memories of. It's the tree that took me on an adventure with Daddy.
The forest was filled with trees, but to find the perfect one, wasn't my choice at all, it was Daddy's choice. He knew which one was best to take home, he knew which one would make Mummy smile. Riding in the rusty pick-up was always the adventure I looked forward to every year, I'd stretch my neck to see the road, but Daddy knew the way, he always found the way. I was content to ride in that rusty truck, it was my time with Daddy to go on our special trip to find our special tree. Not too small, and not too big…the perfect tree. Our Christmas tree.
I knew that scent, the perfume of pines. I love the smell of the pines, the undercroft bed of pointed needles, just like a prickly porcupine, and the intriguing shape of the pine cones scattered on the forest floor.
Each large footprint my Daddy would leave I would jump into and follow his trail. We smiled and laughed together as we sang Christmas songs,
'There she is' said Daddy. 'What a beauty, she's a perfect tree'
Daddy chopped it down with one full swoop, and I hid to keep out of dangers way. Our trail back to the pickup was different as we covered our previous tracks.
I couldn't wait to see Mummy's smile when we opened the door and she saw our tree. Our special tree.
Mummy had taken all the boxes down from the attic, and the warm coziness of the crackling fire in the study was welcoming. Now this was the start of my time with Mummy as we filled the tree with colours and lights. Angel wings and baubles. Coloured strings of tinsel…nothing else to do but put the little baby Jesus in his bed, and the bright shining star on the top of our tree. Here's my job…my special job to finish our special tree. Daddy picked me up..up up high and all I could see was the love of my family, the joy in Mummy's and Daddy's voice and the smile on their faces and the heartbeat of my Daddy's heart as I fell asleep in his arms.
I miss you Daddy.

Greenville, TX
On October 1, 2018, I underwent an MRI at Chatuge Regional Hospital in Hiawassee, Georgia. One week later, I received the results from my doctor. The MRI showed three compression fractures in the lumbar area of my back. The diagnosis was not surprising. In fact, it validated the mounting pain I had started feeling. The one measly time I had not had myself checked out at Care Now was the one time I tripped sideways over the handle of a "killer" rolling duffel bag and landed on my lower back. At the time it happened, Jeff and I were too busy moving out of our house and into a totally new lifestyle: full-time RV living. After he helped me up, I thanked God for the carpeting on our bedroom floor.
Since May 2018, soon after we moved to Georgia, my pain increased. Still, we continued to take in trade shows, arts festivals, and other activities that involved strolling along on uneven ground or concrete surfaces and standing around and talking to people. Surprisingly enough, walking at a clip was far easier for me than slogging along like a snail on gravel. Finally, I got fed up with hurting and arranged for an MRI.
Although I was relieved to find out that the pain I was feeling wasn't only my imagination, I hurt even worse and parked my injured carcass on the nearest bench or chair every time we ventured out. The doctor in Georgia recommended a "kyphoplasty", a procedure in which the surgeon inserts a balloon into the fractured part of the spine. When we checked with our health insurance, we decided that it would be cheaper to do it in Texas, once the campground where we worked closed for the winter. While the procedure was a minimally-invasive one, it would require day surgery or, at the worst, an overnight stay in the hospital.
In January, two months after we arrived in Greenville to oversee a horse-boarding ranch-in-the-making, we visited Hunt Regional Hospital where I got hooked up with a neurosurgeon who sent for the MRI done in Georgia. After studying it, he arranged for his office to schedule an epidural steroid injection in my lumbar spine.
On February 5, four days ago, I underwent the procedure. After one nurse inserted an IV, the doctor bustled in and drew a circle where he would inject the steroid. Before long, the OR nurse met me in the hall as I was emerging from one last trip to the bathroom. I hopped on and away we went to the OR. My last pre-op memory was of that nurse inserting a cannula into my nostrils.
Those must have been some heavy-duty 'I don't care'-drops, as the next minute, it seemed, I woke up in another room where Jeff awaited my return.
The whole procedure must have taken only about fifteen to twenty minutes. Thanks to the anesthesia, I slept through the whole process. When I awoke, another nurse brought me two containers of apple juice.
"Ready to go home?" she asked.
"Well, yeah," I slurred, "as soon as I get out of there."
She and my husband exchanged winks.
"It's over, girl," she said. "You're good to go!"
Clutching my discharge instructions and taking to heart her advice to be "a little lazy" for a couple of days, I left the hospital with Jeff where he dashed into Wal-Mart for a few items before we stopped at CB's Sandwich Shop for a couple of juicy, home-style cheeseburgers before heading home. As another friend said I would do, I went "tim-berrrrrr!" onto the bed and enjoyed a heavenly nap until I woke up at supper time.
Later, that day, I braced for post-op pain of some kind. After all, hadn't the doctor prescribed a high-octane muscle relaxant? I was pleasantly surprised that I had no pain — none whatsoever — on that day or on the days that followed. The only effect of the procedure was the best one I could have asked for: the ability to walk upright and pain-free, again.
This afternoon, when Jeff suggested a trip to Wal-Mart just to get out for a while, I jumped at the chance. After all, I have a brand-new back. The best place to remove the "shrink wrap" and give 'er a spin was Wal-Mart, a place that always made me ache by the time I returned to the car. The only times I felt pain had nothing at all to do with my back and everything to do with aisles congested with confused people and rowdy children and slow-moving checkout lanes on a rainy Saturday.
Anyone who has spent any time on Facebook knows that it is full of 'lore'. Everyone has an opinion. And everyone who has been through the same procedures is eager to share his or her own experience. Some have had to have three or more injections.
"You may need another one in six months," said a friend, "or one shot might get it the first time."
I believe I'm one of the blessed. Now if only I can steer clear of those dastardly duffels!

Recently The Oregonian/OregonLive did a story about a home that hasn't sold yet, which is quite amazing actually. The house is modeled after the cottage where the fictional Snow White lived with the grumpy, happy Seven Dwarfs.
You can find this magical storybook residence at 3395 SE Hidden Valley Way in Olalla, Washington. The price dropped $50,000 today to $775,000 while the owner is still looking for the perfect prince of a buyer.
Here's the full story on this adorable cottage, via The Oregonian:
High-energy DIY builders Richey and Karen Morgan spent three decades crafting the personalized fantasy house and had it only half finished before selling it to the current owner in 2005.
A milk chocolate-colored roof looks as if it has melted over the structure. From its highest pitch near a pointy stone chimney, the roof spills all the way down stucco walls that are as bumpy and character-filled as anything Walt Disney drew.
The roof stops just short of the foundation of the house, where walls swoop into a slight curve like a long gown Snow White might have worn in her kingly father's court, after returning from being banished to the forest by her evil stepmother.
The adorable home is known as Snow White's cottage and is commonly joked about being large enough to house a princess and seven dwarfs. Richard Ellis of John L. Scott is skeptical about it's listed 2,800 square feet.
"How do you measure something that has no straight lines, right angles or corners?" he asked. "I don't know how (builder) Richey Morgan handcrafted it. It's more like a carving or a boat than a house. It represents an incredible, crazy amount of time and effort by a guy who's hyper."
"The trouble is people want to see it, but they don't want to own it," he said, acknowledging that someone would need a lot of money to buy it and fix it up. But at the sale price of $277 a square foot, he says, "no way could you reproduce it for that. It's a work of art with a lot of heart."
Maybe Disney would be interested? Ellis suggests it would be a great bed and breakfast. Let us know in the comments what you think. Would you like to live here?

I'm reading a lot of Philip K. Dick at the moment — so far A Scanner Darkly made me a real fan; Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said made me a devotee; and Ubik…well…it's just amazing.
But if you're not a fan yet, a potent gateway drug into the world of Philip K. Dick are his collections of short stories. My best guess is that there are four million Philip K. Dick short stories, but this is only a rough estimate based on the number of additional shelves I've had to buy to hold my books.
One of these collections, entitled I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon, starts with an introductory essay (originally intended to be a speech) entitled How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later, and it's almost the best thing in the collection.
How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later is a brief analysis by the author of his writing process and a meandering overview of Dick's personal philosophy which influenced his prolific creative output.
The essay weaves in and out of reality, starting with a visit to Disneyland before jumping to a series of fantasies which provide a touchstone for many of Dick's more trippy novels. Along the
I've read a lot of the well known Dick classics — Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, The Man in the High Castle, the usuals — but it wasn't until I start reading some of the more obscure PKD novels and shorts that I really started to "get" Dick's writing. And it wasn't until I read the introduction to I Hope I will Arrive Soon that I started to understand more about the author himself.
You can read How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later as the introduction to the collection I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon, but Uncle Google can also sort you out if you know where to look.
I'm about to read Dick's biography "Divine Invasions," so I'll report back more as I uncover it.

"Half of the world is below age 25, and also half of the world is also women. Not only to have the youth as token voice but also to have youth at the table – is the key."BKMC CEO Monika Froehler said to the representatives of the CTBTO Youth Group that visited the Centre today. The group was briefed on the Centre's mission and work and discussed on the topic of the SDG implementation and rooms for improvement. Coming from all different countries such as Russia, Mexico, Iran, Egypt, Austria, the US, etc., the young leaders gathered raised issues on the lack of education provided on the SDGs, lack of local, national and regional strategies for implementing the SDGs, and lack of acknowledgement of the notion of global citizenship or awareness on global issues such as climate change.
"Only 7% of humankind knows of the notion of global citizenship," said Froehler.She stressed that young people and individuals should take concrete actions, no matter how small they may be: from signing petitions to talking to local politicians and to gathering youngsters to inform them of knowledge and to make changes together. Global Citizen was given as a good example of young people taking actions. It started as a small NGO founded by a couple of young people who made their small steps counted and grew their NGO to now a big entity that has influence on making social and political changes in the international community..
Froehler quoted former President of the United States John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."

So, my planning for a higher daily word count post is a good idea. Only problem? I've had a few thoughts since then—I mean, that was like, what, six whole days ago? ;)
It's a good plan, to be honest. I've just made a few tweaks and I thought I'm bring it up here again to help solidify the plan in my head before the week starts over tomorrow.
I'm behind my August goal, which is simply to maintain a 3,000 word a day average for the month. I haven't made it to 3k words once since the 1st. Bummer, that. But that's also part of the change, so let me just get to the re-planned plan here.
Instead of a goal of 3,000 a day, I've revised my goal to 2,464 words per day until the end of the year, which is the word count I actually need to average daily to write the books I'd like to write before December 31.
What was the point in pushing for a word count higher than what I really need? I decided there wasn't one.
On the other hand, I would actually like to try to get ahead this month by averaging slightly higher than that minimum, but I decided there was no point forcing myself to do more than I have to on the days when writing isn't going so well. Why add stress for no real reason?
I'm still going to stick to trying to get in four blocks of 725 words each and use the 5 minute sessions to do it. That should give me some leeway to reach slightly higher word counts this month, or at least allow for some slow sessions without it meaning I have to squeeze in more sessions.
Now, I've got to get to writing today, because so far, I've been doing everything I can NOT to write. :D Just one of those days where nothing is good enough and everything is a distraction!

I was shocked and saddened to see the impact Monsanto was having on agriculture and ultimately our food supply by forcing GMO (genetically modified organisms) into it. Initially, their intentions were pure, according to Deborah Koons Garcia, the director of the 2004 documentary, The Future of Food. Originally, they were trying to come up with a way to grow enough food to feed the world. However, according to the U.S. Government Data, the research already reveals that the areas where GMO's are used has created a drastic reduction of total food production overall.
Genetically modified foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. GMO's have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques such as mutation breeding, selective breeding, plant breeding, animal breeding and somaclonal variations.
Now I know most us couldn't get past the Mendel plant experiments in high school and find genetics seriously boring. Yet, when it comes to your food and ultimately your health, we need to stop being an apathetic society and start paying attention. Mutation breeding used in creating GMO foods is where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. Basically, Monsanto, a company known for creating pestisides, has found another
way to introduce chemicals and toxins into the food supply.
Our children are at greatest risk. Independent studies confirm on baby rats, drastic changes in the immune system, smaller brains, livers, and testicles, partial atrophy of the liver, and potentially
pre-cancerous cell growth in the intestines or tumors in these young animals. Although I value our children higher than rats, I am sorry to see animal experiments. Yet, the general public is not aware of these studies on the potential harm of GMO foods.
In addition to unknown allergens in genetically altered food, there are other causes for concern. In May 2011 a study was conducted by Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Sherbrooke Hospital Centre, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. It was on maternal and fetal exposure to pesticides associated to genetically modified foods. The study evaluates the correlation between maternal and fetal exposure to pesticides associated with genetically modified foods and
to determine exposure levels of the pesticides and their metabolites. The findings reveal the presence of pesticides associated with GMO foods in both non-pregnant women and pregnant women and their fetuses.
Additionally, Monsanto seems to be trying to own the intellectually property rights to every type of seed to known to man. Traditionally, farmers save their own seed from year to year. The saved seeds are used in the annual planting process. In recent years Monsanto has filed lawsuits
against small farmers to maintain and protect "their" intellectual property rights. The only way to prevent contamination is not to grow GMOs. Agriculture does not take place in a laboratory. Pollen travels. Seeds travel. Food travels. It does not travel in nice, neat predictable patterns. Insects can transport pollen over miles and miles. The wind also contributes to the seeds spreading naturally.
GM contamination of conventional and organic food is increasing. An unapproved GM rice that was grown for only one year in field trials was found to have extensively contaminated the U.S. rice supply and seed stocks. In Canada, the organic oilseed rape industry has been destroyed by contamination from GM rape. In Spain, a study found that GM maize has caused a drastic reduction in organic cultivations of this grain and is making their coexistence practically impossible.
Due to growing health and environmental concerns, many EU, Latin American and African nations have refused US food exports due to GMO foods, most notably, Monsanto's MON-810 corn and rice. A strong health concern is for the presence of unknown allergens in foodstuffs. If a plant is genetically modified with genetic material from nut plant, individuals with nut allergies will sustain attacks from eating genetically modified foods. For example, Pioneer Hi-Bred tested the
allergenicity of a transgenic soybean that used a Brazil nut seed storage protein. They had hoped the mutated seeds would increase the levels of the amino acid methionine. After conducting several tests on individuals who are allergic to Brazilian nuts, they found that those individuals were highly allergic to the new soybeans. Pioneer indicated that it will not develop commercial cultivars containing Brazil nut protein because the protein is likely to be an allergen.
GMO is a hot topic of research right now because there is a lot of corporate profit at stake here, while your health is at risk. My advice is the same advice I gave for artificial sweetners (use natural
herbs Stevia, Lo Han Guo) or fruit. If its not natural and organic, don't eat it.
Let's promote natural farming methods that increase crop yield. Let's promote whole food diets to increase the world food supply. Choose non GMO foods and support local farmers.

Carnegie Mellon University's "assistive technologies" project is what would happen if a more socially minded MacGyver got his hands on a 3D printer.
Created by a pioneering research team at CMU's School of Computer Science, the project's goal is to build life-changing prosthetics for people in need — and to do it more cheaply than would have been possible before.
Recently, the team used its considerable expertise to create a prosthesis allowing a would-be cello player with only one arm to play his instrument of choice. Thanks to the tool they built, the Pittsburgh-based budding musician was able to play at his grade school recital.

We see hundreds or even thousands of images a day, and almost all of them have been digitally manipulated in some way. Some have gotten basic color corrections or simple Instagram filter effects, while others have received full on Photoshop jobs to completely transform the subject. It turns out humans aren't very good at recognizing when an image has been manipulated, even if the change is fairly substantial. Hany Farid is a professor of computer science at Dartmouth College who specializes in photo forensics, and while he can't share all of his fancy software tools for detecting editing trickery, he has shared a few tips for authenticating images on your own.

Someday, moviegoers may be able to watch 3D films from any seat in a theater without having to wear 3D glasses, thanks to a new kind of movie screen.
The new technology, named Cinema 3D, overcomes some of the barriers to implementing glasses-free 3D viewing on a larger scale, but it's not commercially viable yet, the researchers said when describing their findings.

A large spinning hunk of hot, vaporized rock that forms when rocky, planet-sized objects collide
Earth may have taken on a jelly doughnut shape early in its history. The rocky planet was spinning through space about 4.5 billion years ago when it smacked into a Mars-sized hunk of rotating rock called Theia, according to one theory (SN: 4/15/17, p. 18). That hit may have turned Earth into a synestia, a blob of mostly vaporized rock with an indented center, resembling a slightly squished jelly doughnut, new simulations suggest. This synestia wouldn't have had much of a solid or liquid surface. And the structure could have spread to about 100,000 kilometers across or more, much larger than its original 13,000 kilometers or so. The added girth would have come from rock vaporizing and continuing to spin quickly, which would puff up and flatten the shape.

IF THE FILM is rare, highly flammable, and was made before 1951, there's a good chance it'll end up on George Willeman's desk. Or more specifically, in one of his vaults. As the Nitrate Film Vault Manager at The Library of Congress' Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation, Willeman presides over more than 160,000 reels of combustible cinematic treasure, from the original camera negatives of 1903's The Great Train Robbery to the early holdings of big studios like Columbia, Warner Bros, and Universal.

Harry Styles performed a new track during his impressive Saturday Night Live (SNL) solo debut.
The 23-year-old took to the stage for the first time as a solo artist with his latest single Sign of the Times on Saturday, and later surprised fans by performing his second track from his upcoming self-titled new album, the ballad Ever Since New York.
Following in the footsteps of frequent SNL musical guest Justin Timberlake, Harry didn't just stick to singing, and showed off his funny side in a few of the show's sketches.
Hilariously impersonating a 1970s-era Mick Jagger in a game of Celebrity Family Feud: Time Travel Edition, the singer poked fun at his solo efforts outside of One Direction.
"Solo? Why would anyone in a successful band want to go solo?" he joked while dressed as the Rolling Stones frontman. "That is insane."
Harry teased his fans ahead of his SNL debut by having trays of kiwi fruit delivered to those in the standby line for the sketch show in New York. The singer has a track called Kiwi on his solo album, leading fans to speculate he was going to perform the song during the show.
Melissa McCarthy also made a triumphant return to the show on Saturday with her impersonation of White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who made headlines this week after controversially arguing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is worse than Adolf Hitler.
Spicer also claimed Hitler didn't use chemical weapons during the Second World War, and called Nazi concentration camps "Holocaust centers."
Melissa's Spicer was dressed as the Easter Bunny, and came out to offer a half-hearted apology. "Everybody shut up so I can apologize," she joked. "Yeah, I know they're not called 'Holocaust centers.' I know that. I'm aware. I clearly meant to say 'concentration clubs,' Okay? Let it drop."
Alec Baldwin also reprised his impression of President Donald Trump during the comedy sketch show, with host Jimmy Fallon impersonating Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner.

Airlines and airports literally keep the world moving. Vast quantities of people and goods are moving by air around the world around the clock. Air transport plays a vital role in business, trading and personal relationships within and between all regions of the world. More than three billion people and 50 million metric tons of cargo were transported by air in 2013.
Airport operators and the airline industry face critical challenges. Airlines and airports have the lowest return on invested capital in the whole air transport value chain. They are global industries where competition is in many senses more global than in other sectors. Investments have increased capacities in airports as well as airplanes and this competitive dynamic goes on. Regulatory pressures are considerable.
There is a constant pressure to lower the cost base but, at the same time, there is the need to innovate product and service offerings to maximise a share of the growing air transportation market. Growth itself is a big challenge for many airport operators as they strive to expand infrastructure capacity to match demand.
This statement of our capabilities addresses some of the most prevalent challenges in the aviation industry and some of the many ways we can help.

This tour begins with a drive past some of Athens' most famous sights such as the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the largest in ancient Greece, taking over 700 years to build, the Old Palace and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the Parliament where you can witness the changing of the guards.
Next, the tour will take you to the Panathenian Olympic Stadium where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896. From here, you will continue on to the Plaka, one of the oldest districts of the city. Bordered by the Acropolis to the south and the Ancient Agora to the west, the Plaka was built on top of the residential areas of the ancient town of Athens and seems to have a little of everything from the ancient ruins of a Roman forum, the Greek Agora, and Byzantine influenced churches, to restored 19th century neoclassical homes and modern day stores, boutiques and cafes sprinkled throughout.
This district is home to the New Acropolis Museum and the Greek Folk Art Museum. If you want to go shopping instead you will find Greek souvenirs, clothing as well as jewelry shops. Do not leave unless you have tried the pita-souvlaki or gyro, a popular Greek fast food consisting of small pieces of meat and sometimes vegetables grilled on a skewer.
If you want to sit down and enjoy a leisurely meal, look for where the locals are dining, which is almost never on the major streets, but usually on smaller side streets. Be aware that any time you sit at a cafe in the Plaka, you pay for the experience, and outside seating carries a higher charge than inside seating.
For guests who wish to visit the Acropolis, the admission fee is not included in the price of your tour and the cost is approximately 12 Euro /person to be paid cash. No fast track tickets available. On request, we can hire a licensed guide for approximately 2 hours for 120.00 euros extra. Kindly be advised that guests must be able to walk approximately 1,5 miles over steep inclines, 200 steps and uneven surfaces making this site not accessible to wheelchairs. Depending on the number of visitors, the Acropolis may be closed for security reasons so some waiting time may be involved.
The visit of the Acropolis takes you through the Propylaea, its monumental gate, to the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, to the Erechtheon, a site associated with some of the most ancient and holy relics of the Athenians, and the small temple Athena Nike, which stands on a steep bastion, protecting the gate of the citadel. The view from the , you can look down on the Ancient Agora, the Tower of the Winds, Herodes Atticus Theater, and the Theater of Dionysos. At a designated time and place, you will meet your driver and head back to the port.

…every pantry has a story
Hooray, it's a summer holiday weekend!!! There will be all types of gatherings over the next few days, and this salad will fit right in. It really packs a flavor punch, the best part is, you can make a lot on the cheap. As the saying goes, cool as a cucumber. During the summer cook out season, the onslaught of pasta, macaroni, and potato salads begins, this one stands apart, and no mayonnaise to get rancid. It is tangy, crunchy, and light, perfect if you are watching carbs, and almost effortless to make.
For best results use a bowl that the cucumbers and onions will be, for the most part submerged in, which allows all the tangy goodness to happen. It is best to make a day in advance, or let the salad sit overnight, that said I have made this on a few hours notice, with great results. Try to find cucumbers that are fairly narrow, the fatter they are, the more seeds they will contain. I always tine the cucumber, simply run a fork down the cucumber, repeating all the way around. This creates a great visual appeal, and adds more great cucumber flavor to the brine as well.
I made this just the other night for a 4th of July potluck lunch at work, it was a big hit. I was feeling rather good, (or should I say smug) about coming up with a dish, that is so quick, and easy to prepare. I stopped at the grocery after working my part time job, picked up cucumbers and an onion, and headed home. I quickly get started, tine the cucumber, slice it thinly then set to work on the onion.
This never happens on TV, but I am certain, it has happened to countless cooks across the world. Sometimes, no matter how careful you are with selecting produce, there is a surprise inside, that you do not want.
I had no idea what evil lurked inside this onion. This was an unfortunate set of circumstances, it was at least 9:30 pm, I was tired from working both jobs, no way was I going out to the store. On top of that I had eggs cooking on the stove, for the deviled eggs, I also volunteered to bring. Which reminds me, what the heck is with the price of eggs?
I peeled off the out gross parts, washed the remainder, and luckily had a half of sweet onion in the fridge. I do have an infinity for onion sandwiches, sweet onions are pretty much a staple in my house.
Cucumber Onion Salad
3 large cucumbers, tined and sliced thinly
1 medium sweet onion, sliced thinly, then into about quarters
2 cups white vinegar
1 cup water
1 ½ tsp salt and
¾ tsp pepper
Combine cucumber and onion, toss gently until mixed together, salt and pepper. You can be fairly liberal with the salt and pepper, so do this to your taste. Add vinegar and water to cucumbers, stir to combine. The cucumbers should be as submerged as possible, add more vinegar or water to adapt to the bowl. Refrigerate salad overnight, or for at least a few hours, the longer you allow them to sit, the more tang they will have. Serve with a slotted spoon.

In this article, we will discuss Illinois Orders of Protection for neglect or exploitation of a disabled adult, including: what is the definition of a "high-risk" adult with disabilities in Illinois?, what constitutes "neglect" for Illinois Orders of Protection?, and what constitutes "exploitation" for Illinois orders of protection.
Illinois Orders of Protection are court orders intended to prevent abuse between family or household members, or abuse, negligent harm, or exploitation of adults with disabilities by a family or household members. For some foundational information about Illinois Orders of Protection, check out our article: Illinois Orders of Protection Explained.
A petition for an Order of Protection may be filed by a petitioner on behalf of a "high-risk" adult with disabilities who has been abused, neglected, or exploited by a family member or member of his or her household. There are a few important prerequisites to filing:
Personal caregivers and assistants are considered "household members" for the purposes of Illinois Orders of Protection.
"Neglect" and "exploitation" are not valid causes of action giving rise to an Order of Protection unless a "high-risk" adult with disabilities is the individual to be protected by the Order, but an Order of Protection may be obtained for "abuse" whether or not a "high-risk" adult with disabilities is involved. "Abuse" includes behaviors such as harassment and threats. For more, check out: What Constitutes "Abuse" for the Purpose of Illinois Orders of Protection?
The Illinois Domestic Violence Act defines a "'high-risk' adult with disabilities" as an individual who is at least 18 years old and "whose physical or mental disability impairs his or her ability to seek or obtain protection from abuse, neglect, or exploitation."
The Illinois Domestic Violence Act defines "neglect" as the "failure to exercise that degree of care toward a high-risk adult with disabilities which a reasonable person would exercise under the circumstances."
Neglect includes, but is not limited to the following behaviors:
"Exploitation" of a "high-risk" adult with a disability occurs when the respondent illegally manipulates a high risk adult or illegally uses his or her assets. The behavior of the respondent must be in itself illegal. This includes tortious behavior that would give rise to a civil cause of action, such as misappropriating the disabled adult's assets through undue influence, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, deception, or extortion.
If the court issues an Order of Protection, remedies can include a prohibition on future abuse or neglect, monetary damages, and requirements that the respondent stay away from the protected party. Check out our article: Remedies for Illinois Orders of Protection.

Why do house hunters find FHA home loan interest rates advertised online to be different than the interest rates offered to them by a lender? Many borrowers want to know what the difference in rates will be and why.
The answer is that several variables combine when your lender is reviewing your application for a new mortgage. Your interest rate will be offered based in part on those variables.
What are some of these variables?
FHA Home Loan Interest Rates And Daily Market Conditions
FHA home loan interest rates are affected daily by investor behavior, breaking financial news, politics, even natural disasters and holidays. The daily changes in mortgage rates may or may not be passed on to the consumer in the form of an actual higher or lower rate; your loan could have adjusted closing costs instead of a new rate.
Or the changes in rate may be strong enough to warrant issuing a new interest rate offering to those who have not yet entered into a mortgage rate lock agreement with the lender.
FICO Scores Affect The Mortgage Rate You Are Offered
FHA loan rules say that FICO scores will affect the amount of down payment you are required to make; FICO scores also affect what interest rate your lender may offer. FHA borrowers with good FICO scores are viewed as less of a credit risk and may be offered more competitive interest rates as a result.
FHA Home Loan Interest Rates May Vary Depending On The Type Of Loan
Borrowers applying for a fixed rate FHA mortgage will get a higher interest rate than those who choose an FHA Adjustable Rate Mortgage. The trade-off here is that the FHA Adjustable Rate Mortgage (also known as an ARM loan) will not maintain that lower interest rate forever. The low initial rates you get on an FHA ARM loan are scheduled to change depending on the type of ARM you apply for.
Your low introductory rate could last a year, three years, or longer depending on what you and the lender agree to.
Interest rates for FHA ARM loans are only permitted to be adjusted according to a specific schedule, but the rates WILL change at some point. Borrowers who use ARM loans often plan to sell or refinance before the interest rate gets adjusted too much.
Online Interest Rates Assume A Well-Qualified Borrower
The interest rates you see quoted for home loans online may be calculated using the most ideal conditions possible; the "best execution" mortgage loan interest rates assume high FICO scores, excellent credit history, stable employment, etc.
Ideal conditions are not possible for all borrowers but the best execution mortgage loan interest rate is a way to show what rate you COULD be offered if you are a well-qualified applicant.
Those interest rates are not a guarantee that the same will be offered to all applicants.

The Tragically Hip have a unique space within the pages of barfblog.
They are kinda our house band.
Multiple posts have included references to their music, lyrics and videos. The music they created, meshes Canadiana, hockey and storytelling; sorta like what we try to do.
Gord Downie, lead singer of the band, passed away today after a battle with brain cancer. I've read a bunch of eulogies to Gord over the past couple of hours and nothing really captures his impact.
Tonight I'll head to the arena, lace up my skates, race around the ice (somewhat terribly) as Hip songs play in my head.
That's my tribute.

literally in front of my new pad.
Shot up Hollywood, machine gun style - engine still running, all the tires blown out, gas pouring from the tank.
My neighbor came over and helped me put in a gas line so that I could hook up this dryer I've had sitting idle for a month. I'd need it to run for when my family comes and invades my home later in the day. We watched the car sitting there and then walked to Home Depot to get parts for the line, it was strange like dang there's a shot up car but 'we got things to do'. Spent the entire day working on this, from dusk til dawn. I can't thank the guy enough - I seriously have no idea what to get a diabetic, retired contractor, whose wife is a nutritionist. Note: If installation guys charge you less than $200 to get a line installed you're getting a deal.
the layers of my floor
Family's starting to come in. Picked up the first batch from SFO - the floridians.
Morning exercises - gotta think about sustaining the aesthetics of the pristine beaches in the far off land I'm about to invade.
Ants invading my house - I had to launch a slaughtering campaign underneath my house - thwarting the ant invasion more urgent bc I have a family invasion coming.
Covered in webbing, dead bugs, raid and mud I was forced to take a shower. There's something so soothing about warm water flowing over your head and down your body that's both relaxing and creates the perfect haven for thought. It's like the opposite of chinese water torture. The shower is my thought chamber, plus it's the only point in my day where I'm completely alone and there's nothing going on around me.

When you think of Kenyan music, the first people who come to your mind are the likes of Sauti Sol, Kidum, Nyashinki, MDQ, Sage, H_art The Band, Blinky Bill, Mayonde, Khaligraph, Fena, Phy, Dela, Le Band, Wangeci, Otile Brown, Naiboi etc.
These are all super-talented musicians who have treated us to great hits and continue to do so. In one way or the other, they have helped shape the Kenyan sound. They are a good representation of what our music is.
However this is changing fast. Kenyan music is no longer beautiful. It's vulgar and provocative simply because new age musicians are drawing inspiration from Ethic, Ochunglo Family, G-Rock, just to name a few.
Let me explain, don't throw stones just yet. You see, Ethic used some nasty words in Lamba Lolo and got away with it. Their song was one of the three biggest hits in 2018 alongside King Kaka's Dundaing, Naiboi's 2 in 1 and Sauti Sol's Short and Sweet.
Ochunglo Family and G-Rock, the group behind the Matako hit, followed suit and used some tasteless words in their songs and no one seemed to give a hoot. What's even more is that all these singers shot risqué videos. Surprisingly, these songs are even played on TV.
Believe it or not, these vulgar artists an inspiration to many new age musicians. They have made their peers bolder. The logic is that "If Ethic did this and got away with it. We can also do the same."
These days, young boys and girls are picking up their cameras and recording whatever vulgar words that come to their head and releasing a song. Because this has now become the norm, nobody bothers to interrogate the words that were used so long as the song is catchy.
I've always wondered what goes through their minds as they are recording these songs, what do they intend to achieve? The answer is nothing. These young boys and girls just want to be famous and make some coins.
While at it, they are ruining the Kenyan sound. I honestly feel that this needs to trend needs to come to an end. Instead of moving forward, we are going back to the early 2000s when vulgar music defined the Kenyan sound and this is wrong.
Listen to Ethic's new single Pandana below. What are your thoughts on this?
Well this is a nice article,but how is kidum a kenyan artist?

Mister Pompadour Classic Wax is a traditional styling aid inspired by the formulas that have been used by men to improve the manageability of their hair for generations; however, the formula is an update on these traditional formulas, as it contains natural ingredients that help to boost hair health. The styling wax comes ready for use in a 2-ounce jar that will last through many styling sessions, as only a tiny amount is needed to produce big results.
Men with hair of any length can use Mister Pompadour Classic Wax to assist with styling. The formula is great for adding definition by separating the strands. While its ability to define a style is very pronounced, the formula has a less intensive hold than other products. For coarse, thick and long styles, the styling aid should be considered a light hold product, while it will function like a medium hold formula for men with finer, thinner and shorter hair. Regardless of hair type, the wax does not harden completely, so it keeps hair pliable and flexible. Once applied, the wax leaves the hair looking very lustrous for a look that borders on wet.
Very easy to work through hair of any length, Mister Pompadour Classic Wax is enriched with natural ingredients that will leave your hair easier to manage and more attractive to the eye even without styling products. Coconut oil and sweet almond oil work together to deeply moisturize the hair strands. This helps to reverse brittleness that can undermine the strength of the strands and lead to breakage. It also makes the hair less likely to absorb humidity in order to combat frizz. The hold in the formula comes from natural beeswax, not from chemicals, making it a gentle solution for any man's hair care routine.

Many emerging markets have suffered currency volatility in 2018, primarily as a result of US monetary tightening and the strengthening US dollar. In a few instances a combination of factors, including external imbalances, political instability and poor policy-making have led to full-blown currency crises.
More recently, despite the adoption of a more cautious monetary policy from the Fed, market sentiment towards emerging markets has started to worsen again, after a recovery in late 2018/early 2019. Although external pressures such as the trade war between the US and China are having a negative effect, volatility in emerging markets is so far largely contained to domestic issues, predominantly centred around political instability, poor policymaking and structural deficiencies. However, broader pressure on emerging markets as a group could accelerate if market risk appetite deteriorates further than we currently expect. One trigger for this could be if a number of major emerging markets were to fall into crisis, either through domestic issues and/or the impact of external pressures such as the US-China trade war. Indeed, several are already at risk, including Brazil, Turkey, Mexico and South Africa. Alternatively, with the market consensus now being that no further Fed rate rises will take place in 2019, a shift to tighter US monetary policy in 2019, possibly following an end to the US-China trade war, would increase pressure on emerging-market currencies.
In either of these scenarios, capital outflows from emerging markets could become more indiscriminate and severe, forcing countries with external imbalances to make painful adjustments, with the most vulnerable falling deep into crisis. Emerging-market GDP growth would fall sharply as a result, weighing on the global economy.

|Erin Elder
In a day where many games were canceled due to rain and bad field conditions, the varsity softball team traveled to Westbrook on Saturday, April 25 to take on the Blue Blazes.
The Lady Eagles started strong and early, with Whitney Wilson, #7, hitting a home run in the first at bat. Chloe Wilcox, #22, kept up Windham's momentum by hitting an inside the park home run to right field. After Erin Elder, #24, walked, later in the inning she was able to score, leading the Lady Eagles three to zero.
In the top of the second, Windham could not be stopped. Kayla Gorman, #15, slammed a double into left field. Wilson got a base hit, and Gorman scored. Wilcox hit another home run, this one outside the park. Wilcox and Wilson scored, six to zero - Windham. Wilcox got another homer in the top of the third.
In the bottom of the second inning, Whitney Wilson brought three batters to the plate and sent three batters away on a pop fly and two strikeouts.
Fast forward to the top of the fourth inning, Windham was up ten to zero. Brooke Phillips, #10, hit a single, Amanda Foss, #5, got a base hit on a ground ball and Lily Beaton, #12, got a single. Phillips and Foss scored. Beaton scored after Wilcox grounded out to first base. Erin Elder singled and brought in W. Wilson and Ellen Files, #8. Ellie Wilson, #2 got a base hit. Sarah Elder, #9, hits an inside the park home run E. Elder and E. Wilson scored to bring Windham's total to an impressive 18 to zero.
The bottom of the fourth had W. Wilson bringing three batters up and sending three batters away via a ground out and back-to-back strikeouts.
W. Wilson repeated this in the bottom of the fifth and final inning to close the game and throw a no-hitter, with the final score remaining 18-0.
"They had to get in the mindset that we had to come out and play; both teams were playing in the same weather. Whitney threw an awesome game today, really good control of the ball and everybody contributed offensively, defensively; just great all-around game," stated Coach, Fred Wilcox.

However, the United Nations has sent a stern warning to the Congress, citing that numerous heads of state have informed them, that sending Kanye to their country to live will be considered an act of war.

#549 closed change (fixed)
allow users to enforce ABP being loaded completely at Firefox startup, even if delaying it
|Reported by:
|trev, arthur, mapx
|Blocked By:
|Verified working:
|Review URL(s):
As the start of ABP at Firefox startup is not fast enough to not significantly delay the whole Firefox opening, we decided to let Firefox start even if ABP is not fully loaded yet. Apparently, this leads to pages with ads and tracking in some cases like #418. Until we were able to speed things up sufficiently, we now want to allow the users to choose whether ABP should definitively start with Firefox, even if this delays the whole startup.
What to change
Allow users to enforce ABP being loaded completely at Firefox startup, even if delaying it

Windows 7 x64
Firefox 29.0.1
After installing the latest ABP dev build and changing the FF preference, ABP appeared to work as desired after its first restart. All subsequent restarts resulted in ads being loaded on various pages.
comment:11 Changed 6 years ago by trev
This preference effectively reverts changes made in #117 but not in #153. So while the processing happens synchronously with it, reading from hard drive doesn't. Reading the data was asynchronous before #153 as well, it just wasn't implemented too well so pages loading before the data was read was a rare occasion - apparently not any more. I assume that a slow hard drive and large data files (many filter subscriptions) make it more likely to happen.
Blocking Firefox on an async operation is complicated to say the least, it will likely lead to crashes and other stability issues. In other words, we would need a separate, synchronous reading path triggered by this preference - not really something I would be happy with.

Why does this ticket say it's fixed? It's not fixed!
Constant bypass of filters on MSN - MSN.com has been my home page for years.
I also remember a time in the recent past when Adblock and Firefox loading together simultaneously was never an issue. Wouldn't mind going back to that. Even if it means waiting another 2 or 3 seconds for Firefox to load. I'd rather have a slightly slower Firefox startup than have to put up with shitty ads from the likes of Capital One and Visa.
These ads don't always disappear after loading unless I hit F5 and reload the browser page.

Got a brand new laptop 3 days ago, installed FF 31 and ABP 2.6, and ads were blocked 50% of the time if I was lucky. Had to downgrade all the way to 2.2.4 - the version on my desktop - before it would work reliably again. Just going back to 2.5 didn't change anything.
If this is your idea of improving your product, please just stop. 2 extra seconds on the FF startup time is nothing compared to how much cumulative time I wind up wasting waiting for ads to load.
comment:18 Changed 6 years ago by tempuser1231
I opened an issue related to privacy and security, which got closed as a duplicate of this one. I don't feel the discussion here matches the gravity of the issue, and there is no indication of progress or if it is being worked on. As I wrote in the other issue, privacy and security are two of Adblock's main features according to the web site, and currently they don't work reliably. Even with the hidden "extensions.adblockplus.please_kill_startup_performance" option set, pages get loaded before Adblock is ready. The result is that tracking cookies are set, tracking servers are pinged, ads (which may include malware) are loaded, social networks get more info through their buttons, etc.
Seeing slow startup described as "certainly worse" than having unreliable privacy and security in #418 isn't reassuring. Could the authors please clarify their stances on privacy and security on the blog? If they don't care about it, please don't advertise the features on the web site. After all, what good would security tools like a firewall be if it didn't reliably block connections?
Also, why does the option have a negative and misleading name? It would be more precise to call it "please don't jeopardise privacy and security without telling the user", which maintains the tongue-in-cheek rather nicely.

In response to countless requests from the world's DJs, this CD was produced with the consent of the musicians. The band's only condition was that it should be a Reggae remix album on the basis of their last studio CD "Uprooting". This CD climbed to fifth place on the European and first place on the German world-music charts, is meanwhile to be found in the Polish pop charts and whets your appetite for the new studio album "Infinity".
Delirious is the outcome of an unusual encounter between two entirely different musicians. Charles Petersohn on the one hand, a jazz DJ, electronic music producer, singer and "street poet," Jasper van't Hof on the other, World Music and jazz pianist, composer and arranger, internationally renowned through Pili Pili and other projects. The key to their collaboration is football in the broadest sense.

|AHYMSIN NEWSLETTER, ISSUE - August 2017
Christmas & Children at SRSG
by Namita Sinha
"Baalyena tishthaashed baala-sva-bhaavah"
Quoting from Su-baala Upanishad (Upanishad of the Beautiful Child), Swami Veda Bharati welcomed all children for the very first Children's Retreat in December 2011 at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama.
To those who knew him in his physical body, know how well he embodied this principle – always living in purity and joy as that of a child. And for this reason he said, the retreat is open to all children from 0 to 100 years; he even called himself an "80 year old Swami who attended the retreat".
Both Gurudeva Swami Rama and Swami Veda laid great emphasis on family life as a training ground for children. Swami Rama says, "Families are central training ground for the entire life. Family life is a preparation to accept and love the whole of humanity." (Love and Family Life, Pg 4-6).
Swami Veda Bharati's call for the retreat was:
"So that the grace and the practices and the teachings of meditation in our lineage may continue into next generations and meditation may become a family centered experience."
The retreat is an experience of Himalayan Yoga Tradition as taught by Gurudeva Swami Rama and Swami Veda Bharati. The retreat offers a holistic program for families that includes theory and practices of yoga, breathing, meditation, hatha yoga and activities to learn the application of yoga principles in family life.
Children get a rare opportunity to learn dance and music from classical Indian artists, share a joyful bond of friendship with other children from multi-cultural backgrounds, take nature walks by river Ganga, and participate in art-craft activities and plenty of play time in serene, open spaces of the ashram.
The retreat dates this year are 24th to 31st December, 2017, at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama, Rishikesh, India.
Please save your travel plans for a special Christmas for your family and join the retreat.To know more about the retreat, write to Divya and Namita at [email protected].
