Perhaps the most ironic, darkly comic, and touching death scene in 20th-century literature takes place in front of Vermeer's painting "A View of the Delft" (1660-1661) in Marcel Proust's novel In Search of Lost Time (1913-1927).

In 1870, Richard Wallace (1818-1890) received a windfall from his employer the 4th Marquess of Hertford which comprised an art collection consisting of Old Master paintings, 17th and 18th century furniture, snuff boxes and perhaps the second largest assembly of Sevres porcelain in Britain (all in addition to homes in Britain and France as well as land in Britain). Ostensibly the inheritance was a reward for the services Wallace had performed for the 4th Marquess as his private secretary and art advisor, but the long-standing belief was that Wallace was the…

At the beginning of February, I talked about cutting back on posting and visiting for the sake of my health. The times I've had for myself as well as family and friends since have been beautifully beneficial. On the other hand, it has and remains a lot easier to update First Night History and Rogues & Vagabonds since I'm either reblogging or transferring from the original R&V.
In the meantime, I have several works in progress but no pieces ready to display, let alone sell so here's a re-post about the work of one of my favourite artists, whose 120th birthday is 16 May!
Tamara De Lempicka is an artist whose work I wish was in the public domain so that I could sell it at First Night Vintage. Alas, she died in 1980 so unless my business becomes a worldwide success in the near future (stranger things have happened!), I cannot afford to licence any of the images…

On the 5th of April 1732, the French painter and printmaker Jean-Honoré Fragonard was born in Grasse, France. He was one of the greatest French painters in the two brilliant and productive pre-Revolution decades; although, due to his highly individual style, he was officially less recognised than, for example, his teacher, Boucher. In his work he focused mainly on large canvases with erotic themes, which he executed in an improvised Rococo manner. A very prolific painter (in his lifetime he produced over 550 paintings), after the Revolution he found himself in a very difficult position as the stern virtues of ancient Rome had become extolled again, and the fame and popularity of classical painters such as David pushed him to the margins of public interest. As a result of this, he died a poor man in 1806.
When talking of eighteenth-century erotic pictorial themes…

On the 14th of February 1890, Welsh artist, writer and bohemian party girl Nina Hamnett was born in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Her emerging artistic skill helped her escape an unhappy childhood. She moved to London where she studied at Pelham Art School, then the London School of Art and in 1914 she went to Montparnasse, Paris, to study at Marie Wassilieff's Academy. Her social life and artistic career rapidly took off.
"A natural rebel, with her tall, boyish figure, short hair, unconventional clothes, and flamboyant behaviour, Hamnett rapidly became a well-known bohemian personality. A self-appointed artistic ambassador between London and Paris, friends and mentors included Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Amedeo Modigliani, Walter Sickert, Roger Fry, and Augustus John. She benefited from her first-hand knowledge of the avant-garde in both cities to develop her own individual style and she made a significant contribution to the modern movement in London from about…

Letter To My Son
(Ilse Weber – 1903-1944).
My dear boy, three years ago today
You were sent into the world alone.
I still see you, at the station in Prague,
how you cry from the compartment, and hesitate.
You lean your brown head against me
and how you beg; let me stay with you!
That we let you go, seemed hard for you —
You were just eight, and small and delicate.
And as we left for home without you,
I felt, my heart would explode
and nevertheless I am happy that you're not here.
The stranger who is taking you in
will surely go to Heaven.
I bless her with every breath I take —
Your love for her will not be enough.
It has become so murky around us here,
Everything has been taken away from us.
House, home, not even a corner of it left,

Comic-Con is, at its root, an escapist event for fans and obsessives of pop culture. This year it made room for public policy wonks as well.
While that sounds a bit like an uncomfortable intrusion of the real world in a weekend built on fantasy, it's also a tidy reflection of 2017 given the always-on state of politics. In a lively panel Saturday morning in room 29AB called "Who Cleans Up the Mess?" a collection of politicians and civil servants looked at how civic life would rebuild if the dazzling (but dangerous) superhero battles seen in blockbusters year after year came to life. And given the good-sized crowd it drew, fans were ready to listen.
"I can't believe anyone showed up to this panel. That's a good sign of who we are as people," said San Diego Councilman David Alvarez, who was one of six city and state officials weighing in on government's role in the aftermath of not-so-natural disasters.
Moderated by activist/blogger Rena Marrocco, the bulk of the conversation took place after watching clips of some particularly destructive superhero scenes, including Magneto relocating the Golden Gate Bridge in "X Men: The Last Stand," and the Avengers laying waste to a city center in the first installment of that franchise.
Former California State Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher referenced his military training in first restoring communications, order and human needs in crisis areas. And California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones looked at the potential for a homeowner's recovery.
"The problem with this one is you have a government actor, right? Captain America. Insurance is not going to cover it," he said as laughter filled the room. "And then you've got a deity, Thor. There's an act of god exclusion. If this becomes the norm, we've got to change the law to stop insurance companies from putting these exclusions in there."
Portions of the panel focused on the real-world policy in place to address disasters closer to home. California State Treasurer (and gubernatorial candidate) John Chiang used the "X-Men" footage as a jumpingoff point to talk about the need for infrastructure repair, and a scene of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man damaging high-rises while trying to stop a runaway train spurred talk of the need for more affordable housing. But the tone quickly turned more playful.
"Within minutes of this happening, Gov. Jerry Brown would say, 'This is why we need high speed rail,'" joked Fletcher, who sported a Wonder Woman T-shirt. "President Trump would have tweeted, he would've blamed Obama. The rest of us here we would've tried to figure out what to do."
Other topics included the limited capabilities of FEMA at least in the earliest moments after a disaster, and the levels of cooperation required among government agencies to rebuild. After talk of other recovery efforts after the San Francisco earthquake of 1989, Marrocco posed the question of who or what was the greatest real-world supervillain. The room erupted in laughter.
"Did you say who? Because that's a really easy one," replied Jones. But the conversation quickly turned to climate change with the response of Esther Sanchez, councilwoman from nearby Oceanside. Fletcher, who recently announced a run for supervisor in San Diego County, brought that idea into focus.
"The convention center you're in has pumps in the basement, to pump the water out from rising seawater," he said, and murmur of surprise ran through the crowd. In a blockbuster-worthy twist, the villain was with us all along.

All teeth whitening methods are safe when applied according to directions. However, no two sets of teeth are alike and may therefore react differently to different methods. No matter, it will always be safest to consult with a dentist before any teeth whitening are applied. This may cause a little inconvenience for a time but then it is always best and for the most part it is only a one time visit. After that you could be on your own and consider home kits and self help solutions. Never though must tooth whitening be done on kids below sixteen years old, pregnant women and lactating mothers.
Following are some of the risks that are frequently encountered.
Increased teeth sensitivity
This is more likely to happen when the treatment is done in a clinic or a health spa because bleaching agents that are used are more concentrated than home bleaching kits. More concentration of the bleaching agents however means faster results compared to home treatment methods that are very much "watered down" to insure safety.
Some of the risks that are likely to occur are sensitivity to touch, temperature and pressure. For persons with sensitive teeth though, toothpastes containing potassium nitrate are recommended. Even without specialty toothpastes, the sensitivity is usually over in two days. However, persons with recessed gums, faulty tooth restoration and cracked teeth are more likely to encounter shooting pains.
Bleaching agents contain peroxides. Peroxides when it gets in contact with the soft tissues inside the mouth will often give a tingling sensation that may not be pleasant to about half of the patients undergoing teeth whitening. Peroxides also have a taste that may be unpleasant to some. In any case though the taste is very bearable and the tingling sensation may be ticklish but the feeling is always a cleaner mouth afterwards.
Normally, irritation of the soft tissues in the mouth could last several days. For most people though, the irritation lasts only while the bleaching agent is in the mouth and dissipates gradually with use or when the strength of the mix is reduced. Again not everyone suffers mouth and gum irritation.
Uneven Teeth Coloration
Mouth whitening and bleaches only affect the color of the teeth. What it does not bleach are crowns, veneers, restorations and other materials relative to tooth repairs. So while the teeth are becoming whiter with every application, those that are not retain its original color and results to uneven coloration.
The best part is, unlike most cosmetic procedures, teeth whitening are really very inexpensive. Teeth whitening price ranges only from $100 to $400 except for complicated procedures but those procedures are rare.
The risks therefore are very much worth it. In days like this when cosmetic surgery reigns supreme, when we are judged by our looks (no matter what the cover of the book says), when Hollywood sets the standard for pleasantness and likability, and when everyone around us spends a fortune to look good, a yellow smile is not an option.

Capital acts as a bulwark against losses and as protection for members when a credit union is experiencing financial trouble. It follows then that when it comes to measuring an an institution's financial stability, capital is key. When it comes to safety and soundness, the more capital, the better.
On our test to measure the adequacy of a credit union's capital, COOPERATIVE EMPLOYEES achieved a score of 16 out of a possible 30 points, beating the national average of 15.65.
COOPERATIVE EMPLOYEES's capitalization ratio of 16.00 percent in our test puts it right in line with the average for all credit unions.
Bankrate uses this test to estimate the effect of troubled assets, such as past-due mortgages, on the credit union's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization.
Having large numbers of these types of assets suggests a credit union may eventually have to use capital to cover losses, reducing its equity buffer. It also means that there are likely to be many assets that are in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning money, resulting in reduced earnings and potentially more risk of a failure in the future.
COOPERATIVE EMPLOYEES did better than the national average of 38.09 on Bankrate's test of asset quality, racking up 40 out of a possible 40 points .
A credit union's profitability affects its safety and soundness. Earnings can be retained by the credit union, expanding its capital cushion, or be used to address problematic loans, likely making the credit union more resilient in times of trouble. Credit unions that are losing money, however, have less ability to do those things.
COOPERATIVE EMPLOYEES did below-average on Bankrate's test of earnings, achieving a score of 2 out of a possible 30.
The credit union had an earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, above the average for all credit unions, suggesting that it's beating its peers in this area.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Our skin changes over time, losing its youthful look and giving way to wrinkles, dark under-eye circles, and laxity. Carboxytherapy is a safe, minimally invasive, clinically proven method to rejuvenate, restore and recondition the skin. Results can be rapid and dramatic. The treatment has no downtime and a single session can take between 45 minutes and an hour. A simple and safe procedure for beautiful, younger looking skin.

What is CarboxyGel Therapy?
CarboxyGel therapy is a new anti-aging skin correcting technology. This breakthrough therapy generates activating bubbles that contain a proprietary formula which stimulates skin to restore beauty, energy and health. CarboxyGel Therapy delivers these amazing results and more in a 60 minute non-invasive treatment that works on all skins and is pain free. Activating bubbles are absorbed into the skin without injection to increase oxygen and the skins ability to assimilate necessary nutrients and eliminate destructive toxins. The benefits of carbon dioxide to skin have been well documented over many years in numerous studies as well as personal testimonials describing its remarkable anti-aging and corrective properties including for acne and temperamental skin. A new level of skin care perfection.
How Does the treatment work?
After the gel is applied there is an activating facial mask to cover the gel. As soon as the mask presses into the gel, skin revitalizing bubbles are generated. Clients will feel a tingling/prickly sensation from bubbling on the skin and the increase of skin surface activity that quickly calms as the power ingredients begin their work. CarboxyGel treatments are safe. THERE ARE NO KNOWN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CARBOXY THERAPY. CarboxyGel treatments have no down time and results are cumulative and apparent from the first treatment! Most facial series are 5 – 10 treatments. For faster results, treatments can be done twice a week.
Carboxy becomes a vasodepressor and this reaction activates blood circulation; since this action discharges wastes efficiently, it has great impact on whitening facial skin. It not only treats hyperpigmentation but also enhances over all skin tone.
Carboxy promotes to activate protein synthesis. This action is directly related to the product's effect on wrinkle care. It improves elasticity of skin, reduces wrinkles, and prevents skin aging.
This product effectively takes care of acne problems by activating fat metabolism and blood circulation, balancing moisture and oil, discharges skin wastes, and its anti-inflammation action. Proper acne care should aim for the inflammation inside of the follicles, instead of just the surface of the skin. It is even more effective with the product's whitening effect which enhances post-acne marks. These reactions not only treat the acne, but also prevent it by recovering the self-regenerative ability of the skin.
Phospholipids are a primary component of the skin layers. By increasing the layer density, the use of Carboxy treatments creates a slimming and firming effect. Also, the product reduces the overly grown subcutaneous layer, which usually appears as sags underneath the eyes or lumps on other parts of the face.
A well-known treatment for damaged skin is to supply moisture to it and help maintain its elasticity. Supply of moisture to the skin is critical. Furthermore, keeping the moisture within the keratin layer of the skin is very important as it maintains the integrity of the skin. Carboxy Treatments are especially effective on dry skin, whether it's genetic or environmentally induced. The product not only provides moisture to the skin, but it also maintains a healthy balance between oil and moisture. Keeping this balance is essential in delaying the damages of skin aging.
Carboxy Gel is safe for all skin types and immediate results can be seen in just the first treatment.

Four red flags to spot before a construction dispute
Construction projects hold a considerable amount of potential and promise for project owners; you are bringing to life a new space, from the ground up. Whether it's residential or commercial space, you are ultimately creating a new, engaging environment.
Main types of construction defects that may lead to lawsuits
There are construction projects occurring every day in Florida. Many homes, offices, apartment buildings and other buildings are being built and there are many designers, construction companies, suppliers and construction workers that are involved in these projects. There are also many different phases of the project and different companies that complete these various phases. This means that there are many different things that can go wrong throughout the project.
Factors used to determine tortious interference with contracts
One of the basic principles of the economy in Florida is that there is competition. Therefore, there are many businesses who offer the same or similar services and products. This gives consumers choices to pick the product that best fits their needs and budgets. It also creates competition between companies to produce better products or services at competitive prices. However, this competition can also cause companies to try to gain an advantage over other companies any way possible.

This video from Tying It All Together demonstrates how to tie a river knot. Holding the rope in your left hand, make a loop to the right and bring the rope down so it lies over the loop. Bring it up behind and pull it through the loop. This makes a loose knot with three overlapping loops. Make another loop on the right and pull the end through the lower part of the right loop. Then make another loop on the left and pull it through the lower part of the left loop. Take the rope from the left side and pull it from the back through the lower right loop then then down through the right loop. Push the end through the right side. Repeat the process with the other rope end to make the knot symmetrical. The step-by-step instructions in this video will help you create a very complicated and beautiful river knot.

Anthony Jenkins, Chief Executive of Barclays, has been ousted by the board of the bank, stating that 'a new set of skills' was required.
According to a statement made by the bank, Jenkins' departure came as a result of differing opinions regarding strategy and where to focus its resources for growth and efficiency.
Barclays' Chairman John McFarlane has been appointed interim Executive Chairman. He commented: 'As a Group, if we aspire to bring shareholder returns forward, we need to be much more focused on what is attractive, what we are good at, and where we are good at it.
'We therefore need to accelerate revenue, costs and capital performance. We also need to become more externally focused and deal with the internal bureaucracy by becoming leaner and more agile.'
He added that: 'Notwithstanding Antony's significant achievements, it became clear to all of us that a new set of skills were required for the period ahead.'
The board's dissatisfaction was brought to a head and led by Sir Michael Rake, Deputy Chairman and Senior Independent Director, who commented that new leadership was needed to accelerate the company's performance.
According to BBC News: 'Jenkins has been fired after falling out with the board over the size of the investment bank and the pace of cost cutting.
'[Jenkins] was told in the last few days that the board no longer had confidence that he was the right man to lead the organisation.'
The board change will come fully into effect on 17 July 2015 and a search for Jenkins' successor is underway.

Angle Snap problems
Blars posted a topic in ArchitectureSo, 5 minutes ago (for no apparent reason) VW2017 simply stopped allowing its polar snap function to use arbitrary angles between those listed in the "Angles From Axes:" dialog for Smart Cursor Settings. I did nothing to provoke this behavior. Not even my usual profane name calling or angry glaring contests directed at VW. After being nice and giving VW a small rest by restarting it and going for some coffee, I returned to find no change in its denial of the existence of angles other than 30 and 45 and 90. Now, instead of letting me use a nice unconstrained angles in my designs, i can use ONLY those listed. This is a problem in every single file i open. I can turn off the angle snap to use any angle, but, get this... only if Im drawing using poly lines. (Regular single lines are still limited to the angles even when angle snap is off.) I have to turn Angle Snap on each time i have to draw a vertical or horizontal line and turn it off when i want an arbitrary angle. I'm not sure why these things happen to me. Other people in the office dont have this problem. Their Angle Snap can use both arbitrary AND listed snap rotations. Am i perhaps not firm enough? If you believe I'm being soft... Please tell me where to kick VW (specifically which part) so it will stop being stupid. Thanks so much,
Roadway Kerb - adjust after creation
Viridian posted a topic in Site DesignHi - after drawing a roadway kerb the 3D view shows it projecting upwards. This feature was covered in a recent webinar but no solution to the problem was given in the video. I can't find a way to bring the high end down to site levels - see screen shot Anne
fxallaire posted a topic in ArchitectureHi, I'm a interior designer and want to achieve Polygonal Architectural walls in my current retail project. I have never used Vectorworks but I heard it would be the best software for the job. I have sketches of what I want to achieve but now it's time to build and I would like to create a 3D concept and export 2D plans for the woodwork. Can someone point out to me where to start... Thanks, FX
Varied Door swing angles for Bi-Swing doors
Blars posted a topic in ArchitectureIs there a way to create a Bi-Swing door that can show the doors swinging at different angles? I want one door to be shown open at 90º and another to be shown at 180º. Is there a way to do this within the door objects themselves without creating a complicated layering of separate objects to get it to tag in the schedule and show properly? Thanks.

Platinum Travel and Uniworld
19 days From €7211.05 (Per Person)
River Cruises
Day 1: Bucharest
Arrive at Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport. If your cruise/tour package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the hotel.
Day 2: Bucharest
At the end of a quiet, tree-lined street, is one of the wealthiest districts of Bucharest. There, sits a seemingly unassuming villa hiding a unique history, one that visitors have only been able to delve into since the building opened to the public in March, 2016. Today, you will have the distinct pleasure of exploring the extravagant interior and grounds of Ceausescu's Palace for yourself, with a history lesson on its infamous former residents.
Day 3: Bucharest, Transfer to Giurgiu (Embark)
Bucharest is a fascinating combination of Communist grandiosity, elegant French-influenced 19th-century buildings and surprising survivors dating from the 1500s. Perhaps nothing more perfectly encapsulates Romania's 20th-century experience than the mind-boggling People's Palace, which you can visit today. Another option is a walking tour that shows you this city from a local's perspective. Later, you'll travel via motorcoach to Giurgiu, where your ship awaits.
Day 4: Rousse (Veliko Tarnovo and Arbanassi or Rousse and Ivanovo)
Bulgaria's foremost Danube port, Rousse is sometimes called "Little Vienna" for its elegant 19th-century mansions and public buildings. You may choose to see some of the town after venturing to a pair of historic monasteries or spend the day visiting two historic hill towns.
Day 5: Cruising the Danube River, Vidin
Vidin is a port town on the Danube the once played an important role in medieval Bulgarian politics, as the great fortress Baba Vida attests. It's your base for today's featured excursion—a visit to the fascinating Belogradchik rock formations.
Day 6: Cruising the Iron Gates, Golubac
Today's main attraction will be the spectacular scenery along the Danube, as you cruise a stretch of gorges known as the Iron Gates. Later, head ashore to explore a Paleolithic site and an extraordinary well-preserved medieval fortress. All along the way, history lines the banks of the river. Keep an eye out for Trajan's Plaque, which the ancient Romans erected to commemorate the road they anchored in the steep cliffs above the water, and Golubac Castle, built in the 14th century and attacked successively by the Serbs, Magyars and Turks. The Turks won the castle in 1458, which helped to reinforce their control of the area until 1867, when they abandoned it.
Day 7: Belgrade
Belgrade, the modern-day capital of Serbia, is one of Europe's oldest cities, dating back some 7,000 years. Signs of its tumultuous history are visible everywhere, juxtaposed with the city's vibrant modern-day present. See it all with a choice of excursions, either a city tour that visits the palace or a guided bike ride. You have two very different ways to see Belgrade today—the choice is yours!
Day 8: Vukovar (Osijek), Cruising the Danube River
Welcome to Croatia! This ancient country has made a remarkable recovery from a brutal civil war, and its beautiful countryside, colorful folk traditions and delicious rustic cuisine make it a most rewarding place to visit. You'll dock in Vukovar, Croatia's biggest port, at the confluence of the Danube and Vuka rivers.
Day 9: Cruising the Danube River, Budapest
Located on opposite sides of the Danube, Buda and Pest each has a distinctive character and allure all its own. Explore this dynamic and multi-faceted city with your choice of excursions—you can see it from a local's perspective on our exclusive walking tour, or cover more ground with a panoramic tour. Vibrant Budapest, Hungary's capital, offers an enchanting combination of East and West, old and new. Even its geography is made up of two parts—Buda (the hills) and Pest (the flatlands)—divided by the Danube. Which part will you choose to explore today? You have two options to choose from.
Day 10: Budapest
Enjoy a day of leisure, exploring the Hungarian capital to your heart's content. Other passengers are heading home today, but you are only halfway through your marvelous holiday. Today you have an opportunity to explore Budapest's treasures at your leisure. It's a mecca for lovers of art nouveau architecture—the building housing the Franz Liszt Academy of Music is a particularly noteworthy example of the style—so perhaps you would like to take yourself on a tour of some of these beauties. For a reminder of the centuries when Hungary was ruled by the Ottoman Turks, take a look at the 16th-century tomb of Gül Baba (and enjoy a Turkish coffee at the adjoining coffeehouse). Treat yourself to a relaxing day at one of the city's splendid spas, such as the Gellért Baths, or borrow one of the ship's bicycles and explore Margaret Island. Your options are many, and all of them are delightful.
Day 11: Budapest, Cruising the Danube River
Located on opposite sides of the Danube, Buda and Pest each has a distinctive character and allure all its own. Explore this dynamic and multi-faceted city with your choice of excursions—you can see it from a local's perspective on our exclusive walking tour, or cover more ground with a panoramic tour. Vibrant Budapest, Hungary's capital, offers an enchanting combination of East and West, old and new. Even its geography is made up of two parts—Buda (the hills) and Pest (the flatlands)—divided by the Danube. Appropriately enough, you have your choice of two different ways to explore it today.
Day 12: Cruising the Danube River, Vienna
A city tour will show you the architectural highlights of the Austrian capital as well as the legendary opera house in the heart of the city. Or, indulge your passion for art with visits to two distinctively different collections—a "cabinet of curiosities" collected by the Habsburgs and the Belvedere's extraordinary cache of paintings by Klimt and other renowned artists. The grand dame of the Danube, Vienna was the heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and remains, to this day, the political and cultural center of Austria. Klimt painted here; Beethoven and Mozart composed here; Freud developed his theories here. It's a treasure trove of splendid architecture, astonishing art collections and inviting cafés—and today it is yours to explore.
Day 13: Cruising the Wachau Valley, Spitz
Sit back and enjoy the ever-changing views as your ship cruises through the Wachau Valley, famous for its apricot groves, Rieslings and natural beauty. Later, enjoy a private sparkling wine reception at Artstatten Castle. You'll want to find a comfortable seat in the lounge or on the Sun Deck today as your ship cruises through the Wachau Valley toward Spitz. Over the eons, the Danube cut a gorge through the foothills of the Bohemian mountains, resulting in a 19-mile (30-kilometer) stretch of riverine scenery so beautiful, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Landscape. Castle ruins dominate hilltops; baroque church towers appear on the riverbanks, marking historic villages and splendid abbeys; and apricot orchards and vineyards cling to the rocky slopes. Some of Austria's finest white wines are produced from grapes ripening on the dry-stone terraces above the river, where grapes have been grown for 2,000 years. Your ship will dock in Spitz, midway through this glorious landscape.
Day 14: Engelhartszell, Cruising the Danube River, Passau
Passau is a crossroads in more ways than one—three rivers meet here and three nations nearly do, making for a fascinating cultural mosaic. Get to know the town and its main claim to fame, Europe's largest pipe organ, or join an invigorating riverside hike or bike ride. Your ship cruises through a scenic highlight of the Danube today, the Schlögener Schlinge—a hairpin loop in the Danube that was once very hazardous for ships and is now a lovely, serene stretch of water—and leaves Austria behind today. Your first German port of call is Passau, where three rivers meet—the Inn, the Ilz and the Danube—and three nations almost meet: Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. Explore the historic Old Town or choose a more active adventure.
Day 15: Regensburg
You have your choice of adventures in Regensburg, famous for its beautiful, UNESCO protected old city center. "Regensburg is so beautifully situated; this region had to attract a town," wrote Goethe in his Diary of an Italian Voyage. And attract a town it did, but not due to its beautiful location alone. Ambitious and farseeing locals built a bridge (Steinerne Brücke, or Stone Bridge) over the Danube back in the 12th century, making Regensburg an international trading hub. Because so many of the handsome buildings from that period remain, UNESCO declared the old city center a World Heritage Site in 2006.
Day 16: Regensburg, Roth, Nuremberg
The Main-Danube canal is a masterwork of engineering: It allows ships of all shapes and sizes to cruise from the Black Sea all the way to the North Sea, through no fewer than 15 countries. Sixteen locks punctuate the 106-mile (160-kilometer) stretch between Kelheim and Bamberg, linking the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers. Building the canal was no small task, especially considering changes of altitude (each river is different); the locks gently lift and lower the ships an astonishing 1,332 feet (406 meters) over the continental divide. Efforts to connect the rivers began with Charlemagne in AD 793, but the present-day canal was only completed in 1992.
Day 17: Nuremberg (Disembark), Transfer to Prague
Disembark the ship early in the morning—leaving your luggage in Uniworld's expert hands. Enjoy lunch on your own and then transfer via motorcoach to Prague, where you'll check into your hotel.
Day 18: Prague
Is it possible not to be completely enchanted by Prague, with its fabled skyline of spires, fortress-like castle, beautifully preserved architecture and iconic Charles Bridge? A magnet for generations of artists, writers, scientists and composers, Prague is famous for its dynamic energy and elegant ambiance (and the beers here are pretty amazing, too). A thousand years of architecture, from ornate Gothic to fanciful postmodern, have been beautifully preserved in Prague, which has been a magnet for artists, writers, scientists and composers for centuries. It also boasts great beer, a lively art scene and up-and-coming fashion designers, making it a fun as well as a beautiful place to visit.
Day 19: Depart Prague
You've experienced the best of the Danube River and Prague, sampling myriad culinary delights and exploring fascinating stops along the way. Now your journey comes to a close. If your cruise/tour includes a group departure transfer or if you have purchased a private departure transfer, you will be transferred to Prague Václav Havel Airport for your flight home. Your Uniworld adventure may be over, but we know you'll enjoy the memories you've made for years to come.

Four Italian ministries may now be heading north, decentralised to Milan and Monza on the demand of Silvio Berlusconi's coalition partner the Northern League.
Leader Umberto Bossi is putting the heat on Berlusconi as he knows the prime minister needs his support more than ever after setbacks in local elections and referendum defeats.
"It's about more than just getting ministries out of Rome, there's also a lot to do for the economy," he said.
A journalist then asked him if there was more behind this: "Will this government go to the end of its term in office?"
"Ahh, that's not a very nice question," was Bossi's evasive reply.
Rome's regional assembly rejected the proposals out of hand, calling them an "arrogant affrontery", but Bossi's demands are unlikely to stop with the ministries.
He is known to want lower taxes for families and the middle class, and early elections to take advantage of the Northern League's new popularity. It means difficult decisions for Silvio Berlusconi if he wants to stay in power.

|A portable low-power blood pressure monitor for smartphones
|Poh, Jacqqie Chao Yan
|DRNTU::Engineering::Electrical and electronic engineering
|Issue Date:
|Blood pressure has long been one of the best indicators to detect the early onset of diseases and health issues. High blood pressure or hypertension often leads to a greater risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease and death. High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" as it often produce no symptoms, such that people affected usually do not treat it until the pressure starts to damage the blood vessels – which is too late. Having regular blood pressure readings is therefore important to monitor health and provide early warning signs of potentially fatal diseases. At present, automated blood pressure monitor devices in the market are usually bulky and uncomfortable. There is a need for automated blood pressure monitors that are portable and convenient to use to entice users to take blood pressure readings regularly whenever and wherever. In this project, a personal automated blood pressure monitor (PABM) prototype is realized. The PABM is small, light-weight/portable, low-power, and can be attached to smartphones. It is non-invasive and employs the oscillometric method to measure the blood pressure by converting the oscillations of arterial blood flow to electrical signals. As the PABM is portable and can be attached to the smartphone, it is convenient to the user to carry the device around and use it regularly. Further, the reading is displayed on the smartphone and it can be transmitted to healthcare professionals for analysis. In addition, the prototype makes use of the accelerometer in the phone to assist users to place their arm above the heart level when taking the measurement so as to achieve a more accurate reading. At this juncture, there is no other similar device in the market offering as much accessibility, portability and assistance as the proposed device. This device fills the gap in the market, and is suitable for potential commercialization.

Liverpool 5
Lucas 27, Benayoun 44, 56, 59, Crouch 90.
Havent and Waterlooville 2
Pacquette 8, Skrtel 31 og.
What does one say? To go on about how well Havent played and made the most of their day would only sound patronizing and I suspect they've had enough of that by now. They didn't get to the forth round of the cup without being a decent side and we haven't found ourselves in the situation we find ourselves these days without being a little fragile. Havent seized on this and made things difficult for us, for while, however we came through and for all the hysteria about us being behind twice it is us that play in the fifth round. Defeat, after everything else that has gone on recently, would have been er interesting. What price Hicks tapping up Havent's manager as another insurance policy!
Rafa made some changes but paid Havent some sort of respect by putting Gerrard, Torres, Carragher and Kuyt on the bench. Their first goal was simply poor defending on our part. Sloppy stuff from Skrtel in needlessly conceding the corner and non existent defending from it to allow Pacquette to score. I guess this rattled us for a while seen with their high ball in the area which Itandje just couldn't seem to get hold of after three tempts stranding himself in no mans land leaving Havent to waste a good chance.
Lucas restored normality with the best goal of the day, a cracking bent shot that gave Scriven no chance. "Ok that's it, now lets get on with scoring lots of goals" Nope, not yet. Finnan's attempts to deal with Potter failed miserably and the ball limped over the line after taking a deflection off Srktel to underline a less than impressive debut. The scorers name gave the BBC Commentator chance to mention Harry Potter for us, defence wise; it was more like Beatrix Potter!
Benayoun then took on the role as the nation's party pooper by leveling after Babel and Pennant worked the ball through the Havent defence, and then shooting in off the underside of the bar from Pennant's cross. His hat trick was completed after Babel cut in from the right a fired a right foot shot that Scriven could only parry into the Israeli's path for a simple finish. It was almost 4-3 when Jordan's point blank header was pawed away by Itandje however all doubt was extinguished when Gerrard's cross was tapped in by Crouch.
After the game the Kop, our players and Rafa were generous in their appreciation of Havent and quite rightly. Although we won by a comfortable margin and five scored once more, this game, as with Luton in the last round, doesn't tell the full story. Once more we've struggled against sides we really shouldn't. Although on both occasions we've won through but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Relief? A bit even though it was never really in doubt and perhaps worth the wobble to see the Soccer Saturday's team reaction to the Havent goals! A lesson not to be complacent? Very much so. A wake up call? Let's hope so but this isn't the first. How many more do we need?
Liverpool: Itandje, Finnan, Skrtel, Hyypia (Carragher 84), Riise, Pennant, Mascherano (Gerrard 87), Lucas, Benayoun (Kuyt 72), Crouch, Babel.
Subs Not Used: Martin, Torres.
Havant and Waterlooville: Scriven, Smith, Jordan, Sharp, Warner (Taggart 40), Harkin, Wilkinson (Oatway 74), Collins, Potter, Pacquette (Slabber 57), Baptiste.
Subs Not Used: Steven Gregory, Taylor.

Introducing Mark Of The Afflicted
Mark of the Afflicted is a fairly simple addon for Elder Scrolls Online which tracks all of your vampire and werewolf characters and monitors their bite timers. In addition, it will (eventually) provide a handy map system for locating vampire altars and werewolf shrines.
Right now, Mark of the Afflicted doesn't do that terribly much, but I want to take it a lot farther. But, to do that, I need feedback! What can be improved with the existing setup? What would you like to see added? Let me know, and I'll see what I can do!

Hey girls! I have the distinct honor today of guest posting for Dana, who has been a sweetheart and a blogger I truly admire. We decided to do fall themed posts for each other, and here's my contribution!
When I think fall, I think of two things: our local huge fair where I eat a lot and Halloween. Since I can't really depict a fair because of my lackluster nail art skills, Halloween it is! I had this whole elaborate mani in mind and... none of my polishes would cooperate. Here's attempt #1 with the fabulous LA Colors purple that Dana sent me that:
- Is a beautiful color.
- Pooled at my cuticles.
- Stained them.
- Took four coats for opacity.
- Refused to dry.
- Once I applied fast-dry topcoat, continued to refuse to dry.
- Which I only noticed when the following picture occured when I lightly touched them five minutes later to check their dryness:
So that polish needs some thickener and it'll be right as rain, but at the moment, I was determined to finish this mani and not get distracted by polishes in need of TLC. So I turned to Wet n Wild Buffy the Violet Slayer, which is a lovely purple but photographs as blurple as you can imagine. I assure you, it's a really vibrant violet and I love it on, but this polish does. not. photograph. accurately.
Then I continued my idea of sorts, a tape mani. However:
- The polish was apparently not dry, when I was sure it was dry.
- The tape I used apparently was too sticky.
- The orange I used (OPI Flit a Bit) was not opaque enough.
- Buffy absorbed Flit a Bit and made a murky brown tip until I had four coats of orange tips over the tape and then I removed the tape for this hot mess:
So, back to the drawing board and I decided on something much simpler but with the same effect. I used OPI Flit a Bit on all my fingers except the ring finger, which had Sinful Colors Black on Black. Then, I used my China Glaze Black Mesh on the orange and my Nail Republic orange crackle on the SC, and voila! My fall-themed crackle mani was born.
Here's a close up of the nails so you can see the details in cracking (the orange usually cracks much better but I think the 3rd mani of the day had something to do with my amount of patience...)
So, I hope you guys like this. Hopefully I didn't make you think more of "fail" than of "fall" ;) I guess third time really IS the charm! Thanks Dana and her kind readers for sticking through this experience with me!

INTRUST Bank Arena Implements Security Enhancements
The SMG-managed INTRUST Bank Arena announced today security enhancements that are being implemented immediately to increase the level of safety provided to its patrons and employees. These new enhancements include stricter guidelines and restrictions on the current bag policy. The new security measures will be in place beginning with the Neil Diamond concert this Friday, July 14.
The Arena's updated bag policy will only allow bags sized 14" long by 14" wide by 6" high or smaller inside the venue. Additionally, backpacks will no longer be permitted at INTRUST Bank Arena events. Diaper bags and medical bags will be permitted, but will be subject to search and a full security screening prior to entering.
The arena started the process of wanding and bag searching, and also implemented a bag policy, in August of 2013 and further enhanced these security measures with the implementation of walk-through metal detectors in February of 2016. INTRUST Bank Arena's security measures are in line with industry standards and security enhancements will continue to be made as needed.
"Safety continues to be and will always be a top priority at INTRUST Bank Arena for both our guests and our employees," said SMG General Manager, A.J. Boleski. "We will continue to look for ways to further enhance our security measures and are always in-tune with industry trends in an effort to provide both a safe and enjoyable guest experience."
Additionally, INTRUST Bank Arena actively promotes and utilizes the 'If You See Something, Say Something' campaign to its guests and employees. 'If You See Something, Say Something' is a national campaign that is a simple and effective program to engage the public and key frontline employees to identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to the proper law enforcement authorities. INTRUST Bank Arena respects the privacy of its guests and the enhanced security measures will only be used to prevent hazardous and prohibited items from entering the venue. For a full list of prohibited items, please visit www.intrustbankarena.com.

Swing by me once in a while
Don't discard me as I'm rascal

Never felt so good she's a beauty
Chicago (musical) - Funny Honey
Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong
But he doesn't care, he'll string along

I know I can't be wrong
Woah woah oh oh
But tell me Miss is this a string along
You occasionally stop me
Let me masher minced
My mind is fleeing don't string along with me
But oops the games is coming
And sing and they'll sing your song-
Laugh while you're getting on-
Smile and they'll string along-
And nobody's gonna know.

(she would fall apart)
so, I string along the days together,
while wishing I could fade away forever.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust has reassured patients that all services remain open as usual after patients have been spotted being tested for the coronavirus outside the A&E hospital buildings.
One person took to social media to express her shock after witnessing multiple patients being tested in the A&E car park at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Greenwich.
But health officials in Lewisham and Greenwich have reassured that all proper procedures are being followed, and no one else is at risk of contracting coronavirus following last week's news that a woman with the disease had turned up at hospital unannounced.
The unnamed patient, a Chinese woman, had arrived via an Uber at University Hospital Lewisham on Sunday, February 9, after falling ill.
She was later diagnosed with the coronavirus, marking the ninth patient with the virus in the UK, and the first in south London.
In a statement today (February 17), Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust responded to media reports about the patient and speculation about the safety of the hospitals.
The trust stated it had ""followed our protocols to ensurer that patients did not come into contact with other visitors to the hospital."
"We have also followed Public Health England's advice for all staff who came into direct contact with the patient.
"Please be assured that if you have not been contacted by us you are not at risk from this case."
The two staff members from the hospital who had direct contact with the woman are currently in isolation under active surveillance at home as a precautionary 14-day measure.
Despite some being shocked at seeing suspected coronavirus carriers being tested in hospital car parks, the trust has said it is continuing to use dedicated areas assigned for testing outside A&E buildings whilst they await the installation of a purpose-built 'pod'.
Greenwich Council also stated that the UK is the first country outside China to have dedicated test centres for COVID-19, the official name of coronavirus.
As of 17 February, a total of 4,501 people have been tested in the UK, of which 4,492 have been confirmed negative and nine tested positive.
The government has also introduced monitoring at airports with direct flights from China, and a team of public health experts has been stablished at Heathrow.

Strength is in every one of us
We find out if we are strong when a tragedy happens or when we find ourselves in direct danger of losing our health and life. Those having people, that are ready to reach out a helping hand in a difficult situation, should consider themselves lucky.
Imagined help
Hardships test people, who are in our close environment. Such moments show if someone is truly a close friend, or if he just shows up, because he sees, that there might be something to gain for him, or if he just declares help, but never does something to help us. There are also those, who use a declaration to provide help as means for their own interest or gain. The managing director of Magnus Facility Management is unfortunately one of such people, one of those that I described last, he should learn the meaning of the word help and care from the residents of Złota 44, and not from his advisors. It's not enough to just declare help by "personally supervise all helping matters for the widow" and then proceed to ignore all writings and forms. This kind of behavior does not provide anything, except disappointment.
Real help and support
I hear words of support from everywhere. I am thankful to the residents of Złota 44 for their concern, warm words and declarations of support. I am very grateful to all of you. Thanks to you I can recover from this tragedy and find support in this difficult time.

Nice Research Mapuaownage…
i should prolly stop using the "mapuaownage" name in my replies. for some reason it just doesnt feel right…. lol
