Better late than never!
Day number 2 arrived and even though we got to sleep late the night before, daylight was burning so we got up early in search for coffee. The Aria has the most wonderful coffee shop which is attached to the Jean Philippe cafe. They have an exquisite array of chocolate goodies and several displays made of chocolate. Since Halloween is approaching, most were themed in this way. The coffee is really good too but just about as expensive as Starbucks. Two regular no-frill coffees came to almost $6.
Our plan for this day was to go downtown before the crowds hit. If you walk across the walkway to Walgreens and Planet Hollywood, here is a bus stop right there. We caught these guys singing at the bottom of the escalator. What are these guys doing on the strip? They need to go on America's Got Talent – I could've listened to them for hours!
Bus passes are done a little differently now than the last time we went downtown several years ago. Used to, you would just give exact change to the driver (from what I remember). Now there is an automated machine in which you choose the pass you want and insert your money. You show the driver when you board the bus. It was $8 for an all day ride pass. Much cheaper than a cab.
There are many stops between the Aria and downtown so it took us a really long time to get there…approximately 45 minutes or so. However you get dropped off right in front of Fremont Street and granted you get a seat…it's a comfy ride.
Downtown was a ghost town since it was pretty early. First stop was into the "D" Hotel and casino where I could see the gleam of an old-style Elvis 3-reel slot machine calling my name. These used to be a favorite for my husband and I. We still love them but haven't seen them in years. The "D" has one right up front. After sinking in a $20 and making $15, we headed to the players club to see about a card (I know, we should've done that first) Here we find out that the "D" is actually the old Fitzgerald's…which we both already had cards for. So, we weren't eligible for any of the new player card sign up free play (I think it was only $10 anyway).
Fremont Street was decorated for Halloween. Looks like it would be a pretty cool place to be on Oct. 31. We stopped to take a picture with a friend:
Next was the casino next door and I have no memory of what the name of it is! I think it was the 4 Queens? I know that we tried the slot pull out front and didn't win anything. We walked around a bit to see what was there and then enjoyed some more coffee at Starbucks. We then walked into what would be our favorite place of the day.
"Le Bayou" is a little tiny casino with only slot machines. They still spit out coins! The ladies stand out front with beads and entry tickets into a drawing that they have every 30 minutes for a pull on their promo machine. This is the casino that my husband told me about where they have a bank of 4 Elvis slot machines. I made a B-line for the back while my mom heard the Penguins calling her name again. I sat at the first machine…2 pulls…got the SPIN…Elvis sang and bam! $15.00 (60 credits). Started cashing out my coins and put another $20 in the next machine…1 pull this time and SPIN! Elvis and $15….I literally did this on every one of the machines. In a row. Made a quick $45, all in quarters. It was beautiful. In the meantime, my mom was making a profit on the Penguins. They were having a good old time leaping and swimming around racking up credits.
Seeing as how it was nearing noon at this point, I used some of my winnings and treated myself to a yummy drink (something with Vodka in it) from the small daiquiri bar in the back. While we waited for the 12 noon drawing, I lost probably another $10 in some other machines (damn Davinci Diamonds struck again!) but all in all, it was a lot of fun.
In order to balance out the drink, it was time for shrimp cocktail. Last time we went to Golden Gate for their famous $.99 shrimp cocktail….it was in fact $.99 and it was served from a walk up counter, which was more or less cafeteria style. Now, it is $2.99 and you have to go into the restaurant and wait to be served. We just sat up at the bar and devoured two very yummy shrimp cocktails. Total bill with tip was about $10. Now that's what I call a cheap lunch!
Next was the Plaza which we didn't visit last time. We got players cards and entered their slot tournament for new members. Not that I thought we would win anything, but it was a fun way to waste some time. And, waste time we did because we didn't even come close to 1st or 2nd place! I still wonder what that guy won.
I had to try Kitty Glitter and some panda machine that my husband was telling me about. Apparently he and my dad did really well with the panda but I just lost $15. Then on the way out I saw another one of my husband's favorites Dirty Dancing and won a really small progressive. When you watch the video please don't think that is my normal voice – remember I had just finished my yummy drink and was feeling very happy!
I took my $10 and we walked over to the opposite side of the street. This is where I see the signs for "Golden Goose" and "Glitter Gulch". Even in spite of the large "Gentlemen's Club" banner….I ask my mom "What is that? We should go in there and check that casino out!" She says "No Jenn, that's a strip club I think"…I say, "Nah, it's not! I'm pretty sure it's a casino"…she says "Uh Jenn, look at the sign.." I looked up, pulled down my sunglasses and said "Ooooooohhhh Yeeeeeaaaahhh, ok let's not" . Like I said, I had just finished my drink with nothing more than 10 shrimp and a coffee in my stomach.
Binions was next and I'm always lured by the giant slot machines so $15 in and nothing out – hey, it was worth a shot. We signed up for their card and got a free deck of cards. It was close to 1pm by now and actually was getting really crowded. We took this as our cue to go back to the strip for the remainder of the day. I passed by this hotdog stand and just thought the sin was funny so I took a picture of it:
Going Northbound, the bus picks up on the corner right outside of the Heart Attack Grill. It was a really long ride back, almost an hour and the bus was packed to standing room only by the time we got to our stop at the Wynn.
We visited the Wynn and hit some slots there. The most I won was a $50 fish pick on "Reel 'Em In" (the fun 3 reel one with the fishing bonus). I lost at pretty much every other machine I touched. After the Wynn, we made our way over to the Palazzo and Venetian. My mom found and fell in love with the new Wicked Witch of Oz machine and even though she didn't profit much, I heard a bunch of squealing and laughing coming from her direction as I was getting slapped around by my machine around the corner.
The Venetian, as usual was brutal. I never win a damn thing there and don't know why I even continue to play in that casino. We had planned on eating at Noodle Asia but my mom is allergic to MSG and the lady at the hostess stand told us that they do include it in their food. Total bummer because we were really looking forward to it. I don't understand why Asian restaurants still use that in their cooking, it's really not necessary.
At this point we were hungry but had no idea where or what to eat. We decided to go into Paris and eat at one of the places within the Bally's/Paris walkway. I took this picture as we entered the casino just because it says "Le" Casino and reminded me of Le Clown. There you go Le Clown, you even made it into one of my vacations!
We had eaten at the pizza place in there once and it was pretty good. Before we got to the pizza place there was an Italian restaurant called Le Provencal. (Another "Le" place) It was really nice inside but very empty. We should've taken that hint. Our waiter came over and started to describe the special, which was a $45 per person steak dinner….I had to cut him off and let him know that we are both vegetarians before he wasted all that breath. You would've thought I told him we were lepers! We got a very snide "Oh" and a frown as he took the special menus off the table. I ordered a salad and mom ordered a small cappelini to go with the two flatbreads. Well….the flatbreads were Le Gross.
Both flatbreads were cooked to a saltine cracker like consistency and very greasy. I ate half of mine (2 pieces) but mom only ate one of hers. We told the waiter it was horrible and he asked if we wanted more! The sauce on the cappelini was watery and bland. Everything was just nasty and our bill came to over $40. We watched as the manager walked around playing on his iPhone and chatting with the cooks. I don't think that our waiter said anything to him about the food being less than favorable. I made sure to take a picture of the menu so I can pass the word along to everyone – DON'T eat here!
Shortly after (and I mean very shortly after), my stomach was protesting that garbage which I had just ate and I spent a good 30 minutes in the restroom. No kidding – three trips, back and forth…back and forth…. This is probably way too much information but I was feeling a lot better after my visits to the porcelain god!
By this time it had gotten dark and I have to admit, I hate walking around on the strip after dark. I just feel vulnerable and creepy. Even with my husband, I'd rather just stay inside. We jaunted back to the Aria and walked over to Monte Carlo via the indoor walkway – I love that you can get to a totally different casino/hotel and never go outside. We played there for a while…I tried mom's favorite Penguin machine and didn't do so well. Then I found a Hangover machine which is only $1.00 to play all 4 games. I hit a few bonuses. Here are a couple of them:
Nevermind that I didn't make much, I love those bonuses. I tried to show mom how to play craps via the bubble craps machine and quickly lost $10. Talk about bad luck….first come out roll was snake eyes….2nd roll was a point on 6 and then the next was 7 out. Ridiculous! I was like "yeah, I don't like this machine anyway…stupid machine."
We spent the next several hours plugging away at the slots…trying a bunch of new ones along with some regular favorites like the Playboy machine. I was playing at a bank of about 8 of them and was able to hit small bonuses on each one. I got one on video.
We called it a night around 1am and still had to get our stuff together for the morning, since it would be check out day. I didn't profit any for the evening and retired with only about $250 of my bankroll still in tact.
Part III
After getting up early to try and enjoy the last few hours of our time in Vegas, my mom and I ventured over to Planet Hollywood to grab some coffee and walk around. I played a few machines there but ended up $40 in the hole. I decided that was it for my play this trip.
I was extremely….and I mean beyond extremely exhausted by the time we went back to the hotel to grab our bags and head to the airport. Our flight wasn't until 245pm but I was so tired it didn't bother me that we got there 2 ½ hours early. We grabbed a sandwich at the Port of Subs inside the terminal ($12 for a sandwich, drink and chips!) and later had a beer before getting on our very packed flight. I slept almost the entire flight.
So there you have it, our quick mother daughter Vegas trip. It was a good time and although we didn't win the big one, that's ok because memories make me rich. Going back in February with the hubs!

The Tucson Metro Chamber has rolled out a new partnership aimed at helping to link military veterans with aerospace and defense jobs.
The chamber is teaming with Futures, Inc. to launch the Southern Arizona Veterans Workforce Initiative, a website and job portal that helps veterans, Reserve members and their families connect with meaningful employment by making it easier for employers to get a grasp of the job skills of individual veterans.
Futures Inc. has developed the program in collaboration with the Defense Department, with a goal of reducing unemployment among veterans, who can struggle to find work after they leave the military. According to Bureau of Labor statistics, veterans ages 25 to 34 have a higher unemployment rate than nonveterans. This problem is compounded in Tucson, which suffers from nearly a full percent higher unemployment rate than the rest of the nation.
Southern Arizona is an ideal location due to multiple nearby military bases and local colleges, according to Amber Smith, Tucson Metro Chamber president and CEO.
"We are extremely well positioned for this," she said. "Ultimately we'd like Arizona to be the aerospace and defense hub for our country."
She added that the website would be one-stop shopping for veterans who are looking for work.
"We're not duplicating our efforts," Smith said. "We're enhancing them and putting them into one gateway."
The job pipeline's website is aerospacejobs.usmilitarypipeline.com. The mobile-friendly site combines military occupation codes with civilians' skills and certifications. It also includes factors like security clearances and military work experience.
"It is the day and age where technology can allow us to do all things better and faster," said Ian Roark, Pima Community College vice president of workforce development.
The Southern Arizona Veterans Workforce Initiative is working with PCC, automatically routing students in and to their desired two- and four-year programs. Roark said this employment tool will allow the college to connect student veterans to employers almost instantaneously, and it is allowing the college to do a 180 to align with the industry.
As part of their collaboration, Tucson Metro Chamber and PCC will host a face-to-face hiring event 1 to 6 p.m. Oct. 23 at the PCC main campus.
"The communities that solve this labor shortage are the ones that are going to win," said Joe Snell, Sun Corridor Inc. president and CEO.
Tucson was also marked as a great city for the veteran jobs pilot program due to our abundance of aerospace and engineering companies, including Raytheon, Caterpillar, TuSimple and more.
"Labor drives all market decisions," Snell said. "I think Tucson's best times are ahead of us."

Laundry is a necessary evil for all Canadians but with the right tools, this chore can be a breeze. Washers and dryers are designed to make your life easier, but they can't do that without proper maintenance. Take dryer vents, for example; without proper cleaning, these unseen areas negatively impact functionality, air quality and can even lead to fires.
It is easy to neglect basic maintenance of major appliances – until they stop working. Running a hand through a lint trap might be commonplace but it is not enough to keep pipes clean. With every load, small bits of debris sneak passed screens and become lodged inside ducts. As material begins to stick to the side of interior components, it creates a foundation to trap and hold new, lighter, materials. In a single-family home, it can take years for this process to create concerning blockages but shared laundry facilities are at greater risk.
As clogs form, they restrict airflow through vents. Without the ability to circulate air, dryers aren't able to work properly, leaving clothes damp. This sort of inefficiency means loads are done multiple times, driving up electricity bills and adding to established blockages. Without proper care, this cycle can continue for years. Everyone knows that lint is a fire hazard but it can cause respiratory harm as well. Lint and laundry debris are a perfect breeding ground for mould. Damp climates like those on the west coast see tons of issues related to improper ventilation. Dryer vent cleaning in Vancouver is a highly popular service due to the increase in shared living spaces. Instead of contending with improper air flow and health risks or inefficient machines, consider the benefits of regularly scheduled maintenance practices. The frequency of care around your property is dependent on use, environment and the appliance itself. Consulting with a professional can give you the leg up that you need in order to extend the life of your dryers and to breath easier.
While vent cleaning is important, it is also difficult. Struggling to reach interior areas can leave unseen clogs deep within your system, posing new and unexpected issues. Calling a professional property maintenance firm means a complete clear out of vents, ducts and surrounding areas. Structures such as apartments and condominium complexes, assisted living centres and hospitals are excellent candidates for professional cleaning services.

The study of the athletic action, knowledge of training methods, biomechanical analysis, knowledge of materials, epidemiological data, and preventive factors are some of the important aspects of the cultural heritage that qualify under sport traumatology.
The population's tendencies to practice sport have increased exponentially in recent years. This stimulates the need for the knowledge and treatment of multiple traumatic injuries that various sports can cause during exercise. Same as in other sectors, also in Sports Traumatology the benefits of the studies and research applied to high-level athletes decrease as a result of all patients with practical applications of great importance and utility.
The muscle and tendon injuries, joint injuries, diseases and increasingly recurrent and traumatic overload of bone tissues, cartilage, and ligaments, are the areas of most interest to those involved in sports injuries and sports traumatology.
The knee joint is also very stressed in particular for those who do not practice sport activities, who walk normally and those who must be functional for a long time. Skeletal, ligament, meniscus, and degenerative trauma, and deviations of axis represent the forms of pathological involvement.
The advent of arthroscopy with closed and minimally invasive techniques has changed the history of recent knee surgery, as well as the advent of new models and prosthetic devices has given a big boost in joint replacement surgery.
The orthopedic specilists from the orthopedic of the knee and sports traumatology unit provide as a service all this knowledge in order to provide appropriate therapeutic indications and innovative surgical solutions ranging from arthroscopic techniques, the repair of cartilage, the tendons and muscles, the use of biotechnology and prosthetic replacements.

Your resume should be about success, beginning with the opening statement. You can accomplish this in two ways: the resume objective or the resume summary statement. In a lot of circles, the resume objective has become something of a dinosaur. This is mostly because far too many candidates are using the objective to state the obvious. This is why the resume summary is becoming the go-to for resumes. Potential employers appreciate that it quickly gives the reader a breakdown of what follows on the page. Still, the resume objective can be a vital tool — if managed correctly. What follows is unique content showing you how to write an administration and office support resume objective or summary statement.
How You Used to Write an Administration & Office Support Resume Objective
As noted above, the typical administration and office support resume objective is used by candidates to state the obvious. It may provide information the employer doesn't need. However, if you are changing careers, looking for an entry-level position, or searching for a role with increased responsibility, the resume objective is still a useful tool. Here are two examples of how to write an administration and office support resume objective.
Sample #1
Administration and Office Support professional looking for job in a fast-paced environment where vast experience can be used to keep operations running smoothly.
Sample #2
Experienced Administration and Office Support Assistant with background in back office management, recordkeeping and accounting looking for challenging position with a firm that can use this skill set.
How to Write an Administration & Office Support Resume Summary Statement
While an administration and office support resume objective might have been acceptable once upon a time, today, it has evolved. It is now a targeted statement that defines a candidate's career potential, using specific language and detail that addresses the company the candidate is applying to. If written with flair, a resume summary statement summarizes skills and experience that highlight the strong sense of value you can bring to anyone's operations. It should effectively introduce what the remainder of the resume will present in greater detail, tying together your brand and potential. Resume summary statements can quickly illuminate accomplishments and abilities, areas that you excel at and what makes you the prime candidate for the position.
- The summary statement should be approximately four to six lines and should provide an overview of your experience. List two or three major skill sets along with some valuable personality traits.
- Write your summary statement in paragraph form. It is acceptable to use sentence fragments, but Don't use first person. Use strong verbs and avoid passive voice.
- Think of the summary statement as a 30-second pitch; grab the reader's attention and show why the company should hire you.
Example of an Administration & Office Support Resume Objective
Administration and Office Support Assistant with extensive history in inventory and supplies, file, budget and project management, and technical support. Background in managing correspondence, coordinating repairs and maintenance, planning corporate events and supervising support staff makes for ideal candidate for management trainee with executive responsibilities.
If you want to spend less time worrying about the structure and content of your resume, use MyPerfectResume's Resume Builder. it's a streamlined tool that creates standout resumes with only a few clicks.

-"A constitutional revision first, then signing of a bilateral agreement", said Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos on Tuesday in Athens.
During a meeting with Portuguese counterpart Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the Greek president referred to the country's open foreign policy issues, including the name dispute.
According to Pavlopoulos, the constitutional revision was not a Greek requirement, but one "referring to the European Union, the European legislation and respect for international legislation in general."
"The constitution of our neighboring country needs to change prior to the treaty coming into force, because we Europeans, having this democratic mentality, cannot imagine that a country signs an international agreement by saying: our constitution is not that important, we can move forward and see when this can be done", said Pavlopoulos.
He added that the name dispute should be resolved in a way that respects history, European and international law.
Pavlopoulos underlined that Greece supported Macedonia's European and Euro-Atlantic perspectives only if the name issue was resolved, because "the Union is not the place to solve disputes."

The work ethic of New Zealand's batsmen has been questioned by Ric Charlesworth, their departing high performance manager, who believes the side is still five years from seeing major batting improvement. Charlesworth, who announced in October he was leaving New Zealand Cricket, said the team's Test collapses in South Africa were simply the latest in a long line of top-order woes.
"A couple of Test matches against a very good team in difficult circumstances has highlighted it to everybody," Charlesworth told Radio Sport. "But we in New Zealand Cricket have been aware for a long time, we don't have quality, sustainable batting and that's the area where we are most deficient."
New Zealand failed to reach 200 in any of their four Test innings against South Africa. One of their biggest problems has been their struggle to find a quality opening pair since the retirement of Mark Richardson - they have not had a century opening stand since June 2004.
Charlesworth said Richardson was a player who had "wrung every ounce of talent" from himself but few of the current New Zealand top order could say the same. "We have to be very ambitious," Charlesworth said. "We want to be world class, not just playing for New Zealand.
"Because there's not a competitive environment around the team, then there isn't quite enough hunger and the work ethic that there needs to be. The question has to be asked of some of those players - do we prepare well enough?"
A damning indictment of New Zealand's top order came with the latest ICC player rankings, which featured only one New Zealand player - Stephen Fleming - in the top 30 Test batsmen in the world. Fleming is at the back end of his career but perhaps even more alarming is that the second New Zealander to appear on the list is Daniel Vettori at No. 31.
"We need a critical mass of outstanding players in that team, not just one or two," Charlesworth said. "If you had to have 100 players playing international cricket, we'd struggle.
"But you only have 11 in a team, so we have enough talent to produce an outstanding team. We've lost some very good Test players in the last couple of years and that hurts you in the short term but there's some very good talent who will eventually be competing for New Zealand."

text: Plan to be with friends at Christmas – and don't drink too much! 16 Dec 2010 If you're likely to be spending Christmas by yourself, without your family and you know it will be hard, think ahead and arrange to spend time with people you like – and make sure you don't drink too much! Clinical Adviser to Beyond Blue: the national depression initiative, Associate Professor Michael Baigent, says Christmas is often thought of as a time to relax and forget about the pressures of the past year. However, for many Australians it can also be a time of increased stress, disappointment or loneliness. "Being alone when everyone else appears to be with their families may heighten feelings of isolation and for people who are already vulnerable, Christmas can trigger symptoms of depression and anxiety." Dr Baigent said. "It's a time when many people focus on their losses, for example, family separation as a result of distance, divorce or bereavement. Christmas can bring back painful memories or evoke strong emotions." Dr Baigent says some people may use Christmas as an excuse to drink too much – and drinking and feeling down is not a good mix. "For many people, the festive season is an excuse to drink a lot. If you're depressed and you drink too much, it can make the depression and anxiety worse," he said. "Drinking out of necessity to cope with life's events, low mood or the symptoms of anxiety is a dangerous pattern to fall into and can set people on the path to problem drinking and severe depression." Mark Gable, who is the lead singer of Aussie rock band The Choirboys and a Beyond Blue ambassador, has experienced depression – and loneliness at Christmas. "During the summer of 1998, after splitting up with my wife, I was in a severe state of depression heading towards Christmas," Mark recalled. "It was the first time I wouldn't be spending Christmas with my family and I didn't realise it would have the impact that it did. I was in the flat by myself and the sense of loneliness was unbearable." Mark says if he was ever faced with that situation again, he would plan to be around friends and do anything else other than hang around the house by himself. "I think that if you have to face Christmas alone, then whatever you do – don't drink," he said. "Drinking to overcome your problems is one of the worst things you can do, especially when you have depression. Alcohol invariably ends up dropping us off in a place that is far worse than when we started drinking." Dr Baigent concludes: "Social isolation is a risk factor for depression, so it is important to think realistically about the holidays and try to spend time around people who can support you."

Gael was written in Vienna in 2014. Or at least that's where the writing begun. The journey started when first I set foot on a famine grave as a six year old boy, with my father in West Cork just outside Skilbereen. Irish music was always in my house and in my ears. The Irish story and our history however did not come to me as pleasantly as the sweet melodies or soulful laments.
I was a page turner. What I learned as I read through page and paragraph broke my heart several times over. For a youngfella looking into his past I was soon to realise that my sound was not the sound from the television or the invader. It was not the beat of a foreign drum. I was Irish.
Gael could be a song about coming to terms with where you are from. It could be about who you belong to. No matter… it's just a song and imagination has no border!

They are perfect
Not normally a "stockings woman"-- I bought these for a special occasion. Putting them on, while keeping the seam straight took a bit of practice but finally got there with a little patience. My worry generally with hold ups is that they won't hold up. But soon as I got used to these, I had no worries and felt super confident.

In this tutorial, we learn how to insert eyes from the back of a Reborn baby doll. To do this, you will need: a cutting knife, glues, and the correct type of eyes for your baby doll. Start off by cutting the vinyl on the back of the head, using your thumb to push the socket back into the head. After this, cut the bottom half just enough to push the eye through the socket. Insert the eyes into the cuts that you made, letting it sit flush to the vinyl. Look at the front of the doll to make sure the eye is situated properly, move it around if you need to. Insert both of the eyes, then when you are finished, glue the vinyl to the eyelid and enjoy the doll when dried!

Lyft, Budweiser to offer free rides to fight drunk driving
Lyft and Budweiser are once again teaming up to fight drunk driving.
Starting this Thursday, Budweiser will offer free round-trips via Lyft in nine states, including Texas.
The booze company will offer a total of 150,000 free round-trips until the end of the year, with 10,000 being made available each weekend.
LIST: Free replacements, repairs for Harvey victims
To snatch a free ride, bar goers can follow Budweiser's Facebook or Instagram page and wait for the company to share a unique code around 1 p.m. CST. The promotional code will be good for up to $10 per ride.
Budweiser teamed up with Lyft last year for a similar pilot program where it delivered 35,000 free trips.

How To Choose Catchy Analytical Essay Topics: Helpful Advice
The students of the 21st century are so lucky as compared to the children of even the late 20th century in all kinds of ways that have to do, mostly, with learning and technology. Today's students have limitless, quality internet resources and the best in library databases they can access remotely from their own home, turning any students room at home or in their dorm into the equivalent of a study carrel in the Harvard University Library—an enviable place to be in terms of quality of research, literature, and scholarship – a room any student wants to be in when they compose an essay, research paper, master's thesis, or dissertation.
And it is not only easy to find quality information today, it is also easy to find quality essay topics, from the unique to the conventional. There are all kinds of ways to find unique, catchy analytical essay topics. Let me discuss a few and suggest a few topics as well.
Make Your Google Searches Count
Google searches do not have to be boring. You can make them as unique as the kind of content you want to find or discover. For example, why not find out about some unique topics essay contest winners have written about in the United States? Or other countries? You could even particularize this search to state wide essay contests. You could search for national essay contest winners in the Untied States or other nations. Or you could even find out unique topics that international contest winners or world wine essay contest winners have discussed too. Or try simply search for the exact content you are looking for—but one thing, do particularize it by at least the scholastic level you are at—for examples, "award wining 8th grade writing contest winners" or high school writing competition winning ideas" or "state wide winning high school essay contest winning essays" and then you might not only get ideas for content but you can also read these papers/essays to help you improve your own essays as well.
Also, try Reddit. You can find out all kinds of essay topics on this highly unique search engine that can teach you a thousand new things every day.
Titles and Uniqueness
Also, make your title catchy, not just your content—try a two-part title such as From Blue to Black: Opiate Pill Regulations Lead to More Heroin overdoses worldwide.

December: What's Open
Christmas Eve
New Year's Eve
Christmas Eve » 24th December 2020
Christmas Eve is the most festive day of Christmas in Prague and the Czech Republic. People spend the day at home with their family, and in the evening give presents and enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner. Merry Christmas to one and all: Veselé Vánoce!
Christmas Eve in Prague
Christmas Eve is the most important day of Christmas for the Czech people, so most locals stay at home.
With fewer people around, it is a wonderfully peaceful time to explore Prague, and can be especially charming if the squares are dusted with snow or a heavy frost, giving the city a real 'olden day' charm.
There is still entertainment and sightseeing to enjoy, but the operating hours are limited, and only certain restaurants and shops are open. So the day takes a little planning.
Planning for Christmas Eve
The Christmas markets are open from 10am to 10pm.
Some morning sightseeing and walking tours of Prague are running, but there are no excursions to places outside Prague. The lunch cruise is the only river cruise running -
For entertainment, in the afternoon and early evening there are some wonderful Christmas concerts and ballet performances -
classical concerts & ballet
For dining, some restaurants close completely, while those that remain open have limited opening hours.
It is advisable to make reservations for both lunch and dinner, as most restaurants are booked out in advance. You can see what menus are available and make a booking via our
Prague Christmas Planner
Some churches hold an afternoon Christmas mass for children, normally at 16:00.
Tyn Church
at the Old Town Square has a mass at 16:30. Entrance is free, just turn up. Arrive early.
An open-air Christmas Mass is held on the stage at the
Old Town Square
at 21:00. Entrance is free, just turn up.
A Midnight Mass is held at
Strahov Monastery
and at other churches around Prague. Entrance is free, just turn up.
For detailed information on what is open and when on Christmas Eve in Prague, and to book restaurants, entertainment and sightseeing, see the
Christmas Planner
Traditional Czech Family Christmas
To discover what a traditional Czech Christmas is, one has to naturally look at the family and at food.
Czech people generally spend the afternoon of Christmas Eve at home, dressing the Christmas tree and preparing food for the evening celebrations.
During the day, Czechs traditionally are not allowed to eat meat. Instead, they eat a dish such as sauerkraut soup. This ensures they will see the golden piglet (bringing them wealth in the year ahead). This lasts until after sunset, when Christmas dinner is served.
Carp is the central ingredient of a Czech Christmas dinner. The fish is typically bought live from street sellers in towns and villages in the days running up to Christmas - to see carp on sale in central Prague, go to Republic Square (Namesti republiky).
The fish is brought home, often stored in the bath, then prepared, coated in breadcrumbs and fried. It is served with potato salad as the main course.
Fish soup forms the starter, with apple strudel or Christmas sweetbread (vánočka) for dessert.
Presents are brought by Jezisek (little Jesus), not by Father Christmas or Santa Claus.
No-one knows what Jezisek looks like or how he does it, but after dinner when the family moves from the dining room to the lounge, presents will have magically appeared under the Christmas tree while they were eating, without anyone noticing! Children are amazed at how it happens, but that is the wonder of Christmas.
Later on, with the presents open and a nicely dressed Christmas tree in the corner, the evening is spent playing games, watching traditional children's stories on television and chatting.
There is always a good supply of home-made pastries and snacks to enjoy throughout the evening. Plus for adults, plenty of
Czech beer
, wines and local spirits!
Later on, families may attend midnight mass at their local church.
If you are spending Christmas in Prague and would like to try a traditional Czech Christmas dinner, we list the restaurants that offer it in the

What you might not know about Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security income is that there is a way to make the application process go faster. The truth of the matter is that there is a very long wait for benefits – even if you got accepted to one of these programs the day you applied, there would still be a six month interim period between getting accepted and getting For many people who have life threatening conditions and are unable to work, however, this wait is just too long. Because of this, there is something that is called a Compassionate Allowance, for certain disabilities that require money and immediate medical condition to manage. Depending on the severity of your disability and the threat it makes to your life, you may be able to get your disability payouts quicker due to the compassionate allowance.
There is a list of 100 different disabilities that qualify individuals for fast track acceptance to either Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income. The list itself is available on the Social Security Administration's website at www.ssa.gov, but if you'd like some quick stats on the eligibility of individuals for fast track, here they are:
The good news is that if you qualify for expedited processing, your case will generally be processed within two weeks. The bad news is that if you are not qualified, the case could take between 500 and 700 days on average. Be sure to check if your disability is on the qualification list for expedited processing.

A Fishy Story
There are those who claim that finding errors in The Japan Times is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. Maybe this excerpt from an April 10, 2005 editorial (A shark goes free) illustrates what they are talking about:
"An ocean away from here in Monterey Bay, Calif., aquarium officials last week freed a great white shark they had held captive for more than six months, a record for the much-mythologized species. While the creature's release was hailed by animal rights activists, the fact that she had been held at all has added fuel to the long-running debate over the treatment of large marine mammals — a debate that often focuses on Japan."
That all sounds well and good, until you sit back and ask yourself, "Are sharks mammals?" As someone who has read "Hark! A Shark!: All About Sharks" (from the Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) I can tell you they are not. The editorial however goes on to mistakenly refer to sharks as mammals at least two more times before it reaches its final teeth clenching conclusion.
The shark is in fact a fish as reader Sally Ann Sykes pointed out in a letter to the editor that was published in the Japan Times' digital and print editions a little more than a week after the erroneous editorial hit newsstands around the globe. In her letter, Ms. Sykes stated:
"As one of many volunteers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I would like to point out one fact in response to the fine editorial April 10 ("A shark goes free") on the white shark. The shark is not a mammal like whales and other cetaceans, but a fish. The only marine mammals on display at the Monterey Bay Aquarium are rescued sea otters that could not survive in the wild."
It's good news that the letter correcting the error was printed in the paper. The bad news is that the editorial was never fixed. On top of that Ms. Sykes' correspondence appears to have slipped through a hole in the internet. It no longer seems to be on the Japan Times website, which really makes the whole story sound fishy.
JT Cassidy has contacted The Japan Times
Bug History
Discussion Leave a comment
The Japan Times recently overhauled its website so I guess the letter to the editor correcting the error in the editorial got lost in the shuffle. If the paper had just fixed the mistake in the online version of the editorial though, there would be less confusion for readers and I would think less embarrassment for the editors.

This tutorial explains how to create regular expressions in Java by using the Pattern and Matcher classes.
This tutorial can be realized with a simple text editor like « Notepad » or an IDE like « Eclipse » or « Netbeans». This tutorial requires some basic knowledge in Java.
Using the Pattern and Matcher classes
When we need to perform matches with performances, it is preferable to use two classes of the « java.util.regex » package: Pattern and Matcher.
The first class is used to compile the regex, the second is used to parse the String that we want to scan.
Compile the regex into a Pattern object
The first step is to call the static method « Pattern.compile() », passing in the regex. This method returns a Pattern object.
Pattern object is an internal representation of the pattern in a form that makes it efficient to perform matches.
Here is how to create the pattern:
Pattern patt = Pattern.compile("[0-9]+");
Construct a Matcher object
To check whether a particular string matches the pattern, we call the « matcher() » method on the « Pattern » object, passing in the string to match:
Matcher m = patt.matcher(str);
Parsing the string
For more information on how to use these objects to parse a string, you can read the tutorial that explains how to parse a string with the Matcher object.

PUTTING ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD by Keith Hunt During the Feast of Unleavened Bread it is important we look at the fight we are in and the armor we need to be victorious. The apostle Paul knew that Christians were in a fight, a fight that was especially against Satan and the demons, powers of the heavenly realm, who are literally physically much more powerful than us humans. Why they can perform many acts that would come under the term "miracle." The false prophet of Revelation, THE greatest false prophet of all time will be able to perform signs and wonders, miracles we would call them. Satan and his helpers can come looking like they are "angels of light" (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). Then there is the fight we have with our own carnal nature that wants to keep pulling us down, pulling us away from God and Christ, pulling us into sin. The apostle Paul talked about that fight, even getting very personal, opening up himself, telling us he did at times feel very wretched. We find his description of this battle in Romans 7. Yes, Paul knew we were in a fight, a battle, a war so to speak, and to win that war we needed the WHOLE armor of God. His description of this armor is found in Ephesians 6. "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil ... Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Eph.6:11-13). (1) WRAPPED ABOUT BY TRUTH The first piece of armor Paul mentions is TRUTH. I have four books in my library devoted to helping ministers with preparing sermons. "Swindoll's Ultimate Book of Illustrations and Quotes" (650 pages) - "Stories, Illustrations, and Quotes - the Ultimate Contemporary Resource for Speakers" (833 pages). These two books contain NOTHING about the subject of "truth." The last two books of the four do contain remarks on "truth" - I will give them to you. Quotes: He who begins by loving Christianity better than truth will proceed by loving his own sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Devotion, Christianity) The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it. Flannery O'Connor (Courage, Relativity) The very amount of information that computers make available threatens us with cognitive overload: Overwhelmed with facts, people tend to mistake data for truth, knowledge for wisdom. With a mind-set fixed on information, our attention span shortens. We collect fragments. We become mentally poorer in overall meaning. Michiko Katkutani (Significance, Information) Hard are the ways of truth, and rough to walk. John Milton (Courage, Honesty) I never give 'em hell. I just tell the truth, and they think it's hell. Harry S. Truman (Speech, Honesty) Truth does not blush. Tertullian (Conviction, Honesty) Western culture has made a fundamental change in its religious base. We have exchanged that one who said, "I am the Truth" (John 14:6) for the incredibly expensive doctrine of Freud and the words of all his various disciples. Our new religion says with Pontius Pilate, "What is truth?" and teaches that our status is one of "original victim" rather than "original sin." Carol Tharp (Religion, Blame) A man can't be always defending the truth; there must be a time to feed on it. C. S. Lewis (Spiritual Growth, Apologetics) You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. Aldous Huxley (Honesty, Anger) Peace, if possible, but the truth at any rate. Martin Luther (Peace, Honesty) From "1001 Quotes, Illustrations and Humorous Stories - for preachers, teachers, and writers" by Edward K. Rowell Truth: From the book "750 Engaging Illustrations for preachers, teachers, and writers" by Craig Brian Larson, we find this: Sodium is an extremely active element found naturally only in combined form; it always links itself to another element. Chlorine, on the other hand, is the poisonous gas that gives bleach its offensive odor. When sodium and chlorine are combined, the result is sodium chloride--common table salt-the substance we use to preserve meat and bring out its flavor. Love and truth can be like sodium and chlorine. Love without truth is flighty, sometimes blind, willing to combine with various doctrines. On the other hand, truth by itself can be offensive, sometimes even poisonous. Spoken without love, it can turn people away from the gospel. When truth and love are combined in an individual or a church, however, then we have what Jesus called "the salt of the earth," and we're able to preserve and bring out the beauty of our faith. Love, Saltiness Truth: The purple dinosaur named Barney is loved by millions of children. According to Reuters, on July 15, 1997, Barney had an accident. During filming of the Barney & Friends show, a cooling fan inside the sixty-pound dinosaur suit short-circuited and started to smoke. The actor playing Barney quickly got out of the suit but suffered smoke inhalation. He was taken to the hospital and soon released. The story of the accident was carried on the news, and it upset many children. Scores of parents called the television station to say their children were afraid that Barney had been burned, or worse, that he was a fake. A spokeswoman for the producers of the program said, "It can be really devastating to a three-year-old. They love Barney and they think that something terrible has happened to him, or that he's not real." Fantasies like Barney can bring a person good feelings. But a fantasy is a fantasy, and sooner or later the truth comes out. There are all sorts of fantasies. Those hostile to the God of the Bible must hold on to a great number of fantasies to justify their thinking and behavior. Sooner or later those fantasies are seen for what they really are. Truth: In Discipleship Journal author Mack Stiles tells the story of how he led a young man from Sweden named Andreas to Christ. One part of their conversation is especially instructive: Andreas said, "I've been told if I decide to follow Jesus, He will meet my needs and my life will get very good." This seemed to Andreas to be a point in Christianity's favor. But I faced a temptation - to make it sound better than it is. "No, Andreas, no!" I said. Andreas blinked his surprise. "Actually, Andreas, you may accept Jesus and find that life goes very badly for you." "What do you mean?" he asked. "Well, you may find that your friends reject you, you could lose your job, your family might oppose your decision - there are a lot of bad things that may happen to you if you decide to follow Jesus. Andreas, when Jesus calls you, He calls you to go the way of the cross." Andreas stared at me and asked the obvious: "Then why would I want to follow Jesus?" Sadly, this is the question that stumps many Christians. For some reason we feel that unless we're meeting people's needs they won't follow Christ. Yet this is not the gospel. I cocked my head and answered, "Andreas, because Jesus is true." Those on the side of truth come to Jesus. Truth: When the new technology of high-definition television came on the scene, it had an immediate effect on how things were done in the studio. Low-tech television had such poor picture resolution that the visual details of a studio did not show up on the screen. Actors and newscasters wore thick pancake makeup to hide wrinkles, moles, and blemishes, but the makeup was invisible to the relatively crude camera. Fake books rested on shelves, and cardboard backdrops with painted wood grain stood as walls. Still, with low-tech television, the viewer was none the wiser. Says Jim Fenhagen, a set designer who works for the major networks, "With the old TV, you can get away with murder." But high-definition television, using high-resolution digital technology, changed all that. The studio camera picks up everything from scratches on the desk to blemishes on the skin. That has forced a change in how things are done. Like television personalities facing an unforgiving high-definition camera, when we come to God, we come to the one who sees us as we really are. We must be completely truthful with him. .......... THE BIBLE AND TRUTH The Bible has much to say regarding the topic of "truth." The saints are to worship God in truth - John 4:24, with Ps.145:18.

It is the fulfilment of promises in Christ - 2 Cor.1:20. It is the fulfilment of His covenant - Mic.7:20. God deals with truth to those who keep his covenant - Ps.25:10.

YOU MAY LIKE TO DO A BIBLE STUDY ON ALL THE ABOVE PASSAGES - READING THEM OUT LOUD - LET THEM SINK DEEP INTO YOUR HEART - MEDITATE ON THEM! .......... We know that Jesus said God's WORD was truth. We know Jesus promised that when the Spirit came it would GUIDE His disciples into ALL truth. Truth is not given in a few minutes or a few hours. When Paul was called and chosen to do the work of the Lord, he went away into arabia for about 3 years before returning to start preaching and teaching the Gospel (Gal.1). I'm sure he spent a lot of time in prayer and he was a student of the Lord. Truth is usually given to us over a period of time. As we study and are willing to be led by the Spirit, then more truth will be added, given to us. And God weighs the heart and mind and our efforts. Sometimes, maybe most of the time, truth is given after we have SEARCHED the Scriptures as those at Berea were willing to do when Paul and Silas preached among them (Acts 17). They are called "noble" - they were willing to spend much time in searching the Scriptures. It is sad to say, but today most who go under the name of "Christian" are spiritually LAZY Christians. They will read books and watch DVDs by the dozens of people saying they are the ministers of Christ. They will stand is some "awe" of preachers with DR in front of their name or PhD after their name, and read their books and watch their DVDS by the hours, BUT they will not read their Bibles. They will not SEARCH the Scriptures. They will not read the Bible from cover to cover. They do not have a burning desire to ask God for the truth, neither will they take the time to search for it. Paul was inspired to give a VERY BLUNT AND POWERFUL WARNING to those, especially in the end times when THE man of sin, THE false prophet of Revelation appears on the world scene, coming in the name of Christ, looking like a great shinning light of righteousness, but who will actually be AGAINST Christ - teaching and preaching false doctrines, that will lead tens of, nay, hundreds of millions, into DECEPTION and SIN! Paul gives a WARNING to those who will NOT love the truth, that they might be saved. And so God will send STRONG DELUSION on the earth, that they should believe a LIE. And so will be judged for not yearning for the truth, but have pleasure in UN-righteousness (2 Thes.2:7- 12). Righteousness is DEFINED by God, the Bible INTERPRETS itself! Righteousness is ALL OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS - Psalm 119:172!! We shall in future studies come to the armor of righteousness - the breastplate of righteousness that goes around and over the heart. For now our attention must be "truth" - and God's WORD is truth. Make sure you are reading it, studying it, searching the Scriptures. Only by doing so will you be able to KNOW the truth and find who are the true servants of the Almighty God - who is by His very nature - TRUTH! .......................

"Public organizations should play a pump-priming role for the Korean economy to achieve innovation-led growth," President Moon Jae-in told heads of public organizations on August 29. Moon stressed job creation while emphasizing the public nature of public organizations. However, he did not refer to their chronic problems and inconvenient truths such as high wages, irresponsible and ineffective management, and debt problems.
"We are now pushing forward with a big economic paradigm shift based on income-driven growth, innovation-powered growth, and a fair economy," Moon said in an address to participants in the 2018 Public Organization Workshop in Wonju, Gangwon Province. "Change is not a matter of choice but a matter of survival. The government will do everything it can do to change the structure and constitution of the Korean economy and maximize its growth potential. "
President Moon asked heads of public organizations to give more support to and make more investment in new energy industries, smart farms and smart cities. "I hope that you will also actively consider ways to contribute to the creation of an innovative ecosystem by sharing public organizations' data, facilities and equipment," he said, adding, "In that regard, I promised to guarantee autonomy at public organizations so that they can freely try new things for innovation."
In addition, Moon said, "In short, the goal of public organization innovation is to restore their public nature." In that connection, he referred to public organizations' recruitment irregularities and abuses of power, and told them to deeply reflect on themselves.
"We cannot deny the responsibilities of the government and society that place a top priority on maximizing efficiency and profit in the evaluation of public organizations," Moon said. "The proportion of the public sector in the national economy is getting bigger. For example, the total budget for public organizations is 1.6 times that of the government budget. I hope that ministries will respect public organizations as partners in state administration and cooperate closely with them." This is interpreted as a message to increase the hiring of full-time workers by actively utilizing the finance of public institutions in line with the government's income-led growth and job creation policies.
In fact, Kim Dong-yeon, deputy prime minister and minister of economy and finance, laid out a "plan to reform public organizations" right after the president's address. "We will run a self-regulatory employee quota system with budget management organizations. We will change the management system of public organizations in the direction of expanding their self-regulating operations," Kim said.
President Moon and Deputy Prime Minister Kim emphasized the public nature of public organizations, especially in connection with job creation. Some experts say that their emphasis on the public nature of public organizations is intended to ease the serious employment shock in a short period of time. However, they also say that this message should be accompanied by an additional one to prevent the first message from being misinterpreted to mean that the government will not touch moral lapses by some employees at state-run companies.
Public organizations' debts totaled around 520 trillion won in 2014, but the figure fell to 495 trillion won (US$445 billion) last year through management rationalization. However, management efficiency still faced trouble and net profit dropped to seven trillion won from 11 trillion won (US$9.9 billion) in the same period. Meanwhile, the number of employees at public organizations soared, reaching 320,000 in 2013 and 270,000 in the second quarter of this year. Their average annual salary hit 67.07 million won (US$60,300) last year, far exceeding that of employees at the largest 100 companies in Korea, which was 54 million won (US$48,600) as of September last year.

Diabetes is not a mild disease. When not properly managed it has been identified as a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, lower limb amputations. It is also known to result in stroke, heart attack, and erectile dysfunction. Not only these, experts say people with diabetes are also at an increased risk of other medical conditions such as hypertension and raised cholesterol. People also deal with nerve pain, but there are nerve renewel treatments, you can see there reputation here. Unfortunately, experts say a majority of people living with diabetes still cannot effectively control the disease. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) says in spite of new treatment measures, 60 percent of those with type 2 diabetes currently have glucose levels above the recommended targets (HbA1c less than 6.5 percent), putting them at increased risk for serious complications such as cardiovascular disease – the leading cause of diabetes-related death.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or alternatively, when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar.
For now, it is not curable but experts say it needs not be a death sentence either. If properly controlled, an individual with diabetes could be in good health all year round – all it takes will be a strict adherence to the glucose control guidelines – the "10 steps to better Glucose Control," launched in 2005 by the Global Partnership for Effective Diabetes Management in collaboration with multinational pharmaceutical company, Glaxosmithkline. The guidelines seek to create awareness on the disease and acquaint patients, doctors and health worker on the best way to achieve a control of the disease.
The guidelines require, among others that:
• the patient should strive to monitor his condition regularly
• aggressively manage his blood sugar level, hypertension and blood fat (hyperglycaemia, hypertension and dyslipidemia).
• every new diabetes patient should see a specialist first who will initiate appropriate management procedure before referring him to a general practice medical practitioner
• the patient and his doctor should not spare any management method to achieve a control. Such methods should include diet, drugs, exercise etc.
"If you can combine these, you will not see many cases of stroke, erectile dysfunction, blindness and many other complications diabetics often have," an endocrinologist, specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the glands, told National Mirror.
Unfortunately, 8 years after the "10 steps" were introduced many Nigerians living with diabetes still find it difficult to achieve control, using the guidelines. For instance, full adherence to the guidelines require that laboratories would be available and well organised to offer necessary monitoring checks for diabetes (learn more information). Investigation by National Mirror reveals that this is still a problem in the country. According to a doctor, there are only few laboratories in Nigeria that could provide the HbA1c test recommended in the "10 Steps". Glycated haemoglobin or glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) test is used as a very good guide as to determine what the individual's average blood glucose level has been during the past three months.
Where available, the tests are expensive and well beyond the reach of a majority of diabetes patients in the country.
Endocrinologists however say people living with diabetes must strive to achieve some measure of control, even if they find it difficult to undergo expensive tests such as the HbA1c. This simply means ensuring that one's blood sugar, or glucose, is kept to the desired range. This should be achieved through appropriate medications (insulin or pills) as recommended by the doctor, right diet and exercise.
"People with diabetes should ensure they take enough fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. These provide extraordinary support to your digestive system and the liver. Daily exercise also helps to stimulate the respiratory system," an endocrinologist told National Mirror.
