Dear Dr. Xuân & Thư,
Thank you for an excellent smile! I had 2 crowns and 7 veneers done. The result was fantastic! The service was great and Dr. Xuân was very attentive and thorough. Could not ask for a better result, ever in Australia! I would highly recommend this team of high quality dentistry. My daughter had a filing and teeth whitening and she was very happy.

article by Elizabeth Wagmeister via variety.com
ABC is developing a new drama with one of the networks most trusted stars, Kerry Washington. The "Scandal" star is on board to executive produce "Patrol," a workplace drama about four female LAPD officers who attended the police academy together five years ago and are forced to reconnect after a high-stakes, traumatic secret returns to haunt them.
The project marks the first to fall under Washington's new overall deal with ABC, which she inked this April to develop new projects for ABC Studios — the studio behind "Patrol."
Washington is producing the potential series by way of her recently-launched production shingle Simpson Street. The actress has been expanding her behind-the-camera work lately. Simpson Street came fresh out of the gate with HBO's "Confirmation," in which Washington starred as Anita Hill, marking the company's first project.
Chitra Elizabeth Sampath, who served as a writer/producer on the first season of ABC's "Secrets and Lies," wrote the "Patrol" script and will serve as a co-executive producer. Along with Washington, executive producers are Groundswell Productions' Michael London and Janice Williams, plus Washington's Simpson Street producing partner Sharla Sumpter Bridgett.

Late night talk shows have dominated water-cooler conversation recently, but most of the conversation has centered on the male ego. Bill Carter of the New York Times has pointed out that "very few women make it inside the writing rooms for late-night television hosts, despite that women make up a larger proportion of their audience than men." This event will examine the legacy of women who have contributed to the late night genre, as well as the challenges of increasing representation.

Ahead of the Autumn Statement on the 23rd November, online lettings agent Upad is calling on the Government to have a re-think on buy-to-let tax changes. This is in order to relieve some of the pressure on both landlords and tenants and to help cut-down on arrears.
At present, 62% of landlords in Britain are experiencing rent arrears. Rents are forecasted to rise quicker than house prices over the next five years and with changes to mortgage interest tax relief coming into play in April 2017, the situation is set to worsen.
Rising rent arrears
Despite a fall in the number of tenants in arrears since the recession, Upad claims the problem is growing again. In August, nearly 10% of tenants in the UK were behind with their rental payments. There were 34,000 possession claims issued between July and September of this year.
This is why it is imperative for investors to protect their investment with rent guarantee insurance.
Savills has also predicted that rents will rise by 19% between now and the year 2021, with post-Brexit uncertainty dampening confidence.
Growing problem
James Davis, CEO and Founder of Upad, observed: 'Rent arrears are becoming the fastest-growing problem for landlords, as well as tenants across the UK and this will no doubt be their biggest issue in 2017. Not only have investors had to contend with the new 3% stamp duty surcharge this year, but from April 2017, they are also facing plans to prevent landlords deducting mortgage costs from rental income and limiting tax relief on mortgage interest payments. These increased landlord costs will only make matters worse, especially for tenants who in some of the most expensive areas, such as our capital, are paying up to two thirds of their salary on rent.'[1]
'The Chancellor needs to think carefully about the damage that is likely to be done, primarily to tenants, particularly if people are relying more on the lettings market than the sales market going forwards in the wake of Brexit. Over stretched landlords will try to recoup these additional taxes by increasing rents, but if wages struggle to increase more than inflation, landlords will struggle to secure rises, putting the entire lettings financial model at risk,' Mr Davis added.[1]

Really fun physics
I got 534. And In my opinion this is the best game in ludum dare 36, the graphics are incredible the physics are so good, and the idea is great. This is way better then my game.
WOW you pretty much nailed every aspect of the game! The graphics looks lovely and cute. The character movement was perfectly responsive. The triple / double jump is ridiculous and make me feel like my character is a badass ninja. The shooting mechanics feels great, shooting that spear is very satisfying especially when I hit multiple fishes. My only minor complain is that the sharks were buggy, a lot of the time they were swimming upside down. Sometimes it became 2x bigger as well. Also, I wish I can get life so when I make mistakes I don't have to play the levels over and over again when I die to the sharks :(
Overall this is the best game I have seen by far. Give me a full game and I will pay for this!
It. Feels. So. Good. Just damn good. Very smooth gameplay, controls and physics. And (should I say?) astonishing visuals. I don't know how you did it, but it's a very beautiful and fun game.
The most polished and solid entry of LD36 so far.
Great job!
Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.
Good physics
Really nice game. Good looking and good physics. But getting eaten by shark while standing on the boat doesn't seem fair to me.
I love the art and the effective mechanics, awesome game
Nice game with great graphics
I loved this game!!! "+1 jump... I don't need that...." Strauss said 5 seconds before being ate by a shark.
I loved the graphics, the gameplay, the physics.. One of the best games that I have played.
Great game! Nice graphics, cool physics and mechanics~ Though one time I got killed right after the character jumped off the boat T_T Anyway great work!
You must sign in to comment.
Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it'll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you're a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Many solo participants enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn't support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it's an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that's okay. It happens. We're flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like "porting" to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN'T SHOW UP: If you can't find your game, it's usually because the URL to your downloads are missing 'http://'. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it's because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select "Empty Cache and Hard Reload". This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.

On-line nitrates derogation applications and plans can be submitted on-line
The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Simon Coveney has announced that, for 2013, Nitrates Derogation applications and plans can be submitted on-line by farmers and their agents registered with agfood.ie. Both the on-line system and postal applications will be available from Monday 18th February 2013.
The Minister also announced that the Nitrogen and Phosphorus statements for 2012 are now available to all farmers on agfood.ie. "These statements are there to assist farmers in deciding whether or not they need to apply for a Derogation", Minister Coveney said. He added that "this is the ideal time to consider whether or not to apply for a Derogation in 2013. Intensive grassland farmers are allowed to exceed the general limit of 170 kg of Nitrogen per hectare per year from livestock manure on their farm, up to a limit of 250 kg, provided that they have an approved Derogation".
Farmers between 150 and 250 kgs Nitrogen per hectare, who are registered with the Department for text alerts, will receive their figures by text message. Written statements will only issue to those herd owners in breach of the 170/250 kg limits. The Minister encouraged farmers that expect to exceed the stocking rate limit in 2013 to apply for a Derogation or take other remedial action and thereby avoid penalties being applied to their scheme payments.
The Minister confirmed that, as in previous years, the closing date for receipt of paper Derogation applications by the Department will be the 31st March 2013. Applications will, however, be accepted using the on-line system until the 14th April 2013.
Farmers not already registered for agfood.ie can do so by logging onto www.agfood.ie and clicking the 'Register' button. To register a mobile phone number for future SMS text alerts log on to https://www.agriculture.gov.ie/mobileupdates/ to access the sign-on form, or alternatively contact the regional office.

From our previous posts (the Kodi 17 FAQ and Kodi 17 or Bust?), we know that Kodi 17 requires Android 5 or higher.
Some devices can not be updated beyond Android 4.4, often because the manufacturer of the main chip has not released required files.
Changes were made in Kodi 17's code that meant more HTTPS links could be connected to, and some people have been working hard on ensuring that this won't miss people with older hardware.
Possible Solution 1
If your only reason for wanting to use Kodi 17 is the HTTPS update within, then FTMC is another possible solution.
It is based on Kodi 16.1, with the same HTTPS code updates that are found in Kodi 17. Sean99 from our forum drew our attention to it. Sean also does some great work with other areas of Kodi and DBMC.
Possible Solution 2
If you really want to use Kodi 17 for the new look, one answer can be found with Mygica's Media Center.
It has had some testing with a DroidBOX T8-S running Android 4.4.2 and seems to work well. Our thanks to Angela and everyone else in the DroidBOX community that have been raising awareness.
Installing FTMC
To install FTMC, first check whether you have a Rockchip or Amlogic based DroidBOX device.
If your box came from us, and is called one of the following, it is an Amlogic based device:
T8-S, M5, K5, M8, T8, EM8, iMX6Q, iMX6, M6 or M3
This version of FTMC can be downloaded from the DroidBOX Market or by visiting http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/general-tv-player-dicussions/xbmc-talk/575588-ftmc. If you use our DroidBOX Market (see https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/droidbox-market if you don't have this on your device already), open it and click on the "TV & Movies" section, then the "Kodi DBMC SPMC" area. Click on "FTMC 16.1 Amlogic Build 26" and then the Install button.
If your DroidBOX model is instead one of these, then you will need to remember it is a Rockchip chipset inside:
X7, X7 Ultimate, X8 Ultimate, Q7, Q8, V9, V9 dongle, Go projector or PlayOn handheld console
For these devices, you will need to download the APK file from http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/general-tv-player-dicussions/xbmc-talk/575588-ftmc . Make sure you click on the Rockchip version.
Installing Mygica
To install Mygica's Media Centre, open the DroidBOX Market application (see https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/droidbox-market if you don't have this on your device already). Now click on the "TV & Movies" section, then the "Kodi DBMC SPMC" area. Click on "Kodi 17 for Android 4.4 Devices. MyGica Media Center" and then the Install button.
As both these applications have their own directories for storing data, you may not need to uninstall Kodi first. Please don't forget that setting up these apps with add-ons will take up more storage space, so make sure you leave at least 1Gb free once everything is configured.
Checking how much space you have left differs a little between models, but in general you will want to look for an icon of a cog or two on your homescreen and click it. If you see a monochrome interface, look for a STORAGE entry to click on. If you see something colourful, click on the OTHER tab, then the MORE SETTINGS button. Now look for that STORAGE entry.

The rumor mill is a buzzing about a possible new couple in Hollywood, Eric Stonestreet and Charlize Theron? So is there any truth to this lateset love rumor? I have the lowdown for you and you are not going to want to miss it. According to The Daily Mail Eric and Charlize are dating. That is not all either, apparently she and her adopted son are so happy with her new man Stonestreet. How does The Daily Mail know this, well they have a source of course? Someone might want to tell that source that he or she has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. In fact perhaps the source should check out this Tweet from Eric, who too had heard these rumors. "I wish people would stop spreading rumors that Charlize Theron and I are dating. Its starting to make Halle Berry jealous." First of all how hysterical is he? What a great comeback to all those rumors and so fitting of what a funny guy he is. If that wasn't enough I just saw Ryan Seacrest ask Eric if he was actually dating the Oscar winning actress. Stonestreet in his own very unique and very funny manner [...]

Yes the latest Rocking Dog quilt is beginning to come together. It's great to have a project to take my mind off the problems of living in a very old and crumbly house!
There have been many problematic instalments whilst living here for nearly two decades. Defunct Death Watch Beetle, no damp course, THE windows, the roof, a collapsed sewerage pipe etc… etc… The latest issue is electrical. With electrical folks at their wits ends to solve the unpleasant shocking issues, it could come to a complete rewire! The prospect is a truly unpleasant and expensive. Carpets up, floorboards up, kitchen tiles broken to retrieve wiring, furniture moved etc… etc… and ideally for the ease of the electricians we would need to move out for a week… Agggghhhhh! As with the medical field there is to be a second opinion. I hope there is a miraculous and simple turnaround! I can see why the past inhabitants sold up and moved to a new build. Very sadly for us they decided to take their handmade cobbled together four poster bed with them.
Enough of wattage, wiring and wistful new house living! Progress on the quilt continues with rows sewn together and pressed to give a flat finish ready for "stitching in the ditch'. This is a technique whereby the quilter top sews between the squares to attach the pretty top layer to the batting. I have chosen to use bamboo batting as it is eco friendly and very soft. Though eco friendly there are some air miles to factor in, for it has come all the way from Fort Worth, Texas.
Before sewing recommences there has been a session of collecting things together to complete the quilt. Old fashioned pillow ticking will form the backing, and dog tooth check will form the border. I have chosen a selection of buttons to embellish the quilt, and there is green embroidery thread when hand sewing finally beckons. Vintage French ribbon from my treasured haberdashery box will neatly enclose the three layers. The only thing I am still debating is as to whether I give the quilt a border of eclectic vintage braids. Some of these braids are ones I remember from my childhood, so are sentimental. There are braids too which are Swedish and have come from a now deceased bohemian neighbour. I do like the thought of this piecemeal border as it sits well with the whole ethos of patch working. Evidence of patchwork has been found in Egyptian tombs and ancient China, whilst a huge revival of the craft came about during the Great Depression (1929-late 30's) when American women recycled worn clothing into warm quilts.
The special two sole walking plate is about to be fitted to Beloved Bernina for the task of quilting to begin. I always think that this sinister foot looks like a Scarab Beetle. I must add that thankfully I have never seen one in real life! The damage caused by that old death watch beetle has been enough for me!
With all the components collected, it is time to indeed bring the quilt together in anticipation of the cold wintry nights ahead. Brrrrrrrr!
Stay cosy and I hope you have a quilt or crocheted blanket to snuggle under. x

The British Labor Party's official song is more auld hat than Auld Lang Syne. At the party's annual conference in Brighton last week, the leaders as usual linked hands on the platform and (to the tune known in the U.S. as Maryland, My Maryland) chanted the quaint lyrics:
The People's Flag is deepest red.
It shrouded oft our martyred dead . . .
There were no Socialist martyrs at Brighton, but Prime Minister Harold Wilson, just back from Washington, had a hard time keeping that old Red Flag flying and showing just the right hue. Wilson's major troubles...

Are you considering a debt consolidation program to help solve your current financial difficulties? If you are then you may be curious to learn two important things.
Sidebar: Debt consolidation is also called debt management and the two terms are often used interchangeably. A third term, "credit counseling", although used by some people to refer to debt consolidation/management, is not the same thing. It should also be noted that debt consolidation is not the same thing as a debt consolidation loan.
Let's tackle the first question 'first', ie. how much could you save?
A solid debt management plan, put together by an experienced credit counselor, will save you money by reducing the interest rates that you are currently paying on your unsecured debts. And, in addition to negotiating lower interest rates with your creditors (sometimes as low as 0%), the credit counselor may also negotiate lower monthly payments on your behalf in order to relieve some of the burden that your debts are having on your other monthly financial obligations.
Example: If your current credit card debts total $10,000, and the
interest rates you are being charged are 20%, by getting those rates
reduced to 0% you would be saving about $166 per month.
Question number two. Do you qualify for such a debt relief program?
To determine this, answer these questions...
If you answered with three "yeses", then a debt management program
may be a good fit for you. The best way to find out is to get a free,
online estimate of what your savings could be. There are several
reputable companies that offer this service and the best part is that
there is no
commitment on your part. If a company asks for a commitment up front, look elsewhere.
And if you answered "no" to at least one of those questions, then you may want to look at some other options for solving your debt problems.
In addition to saving you money, working with a credit counseling company can save you two more things.
First, because they will now be the ones dealing with your creditors, they will save you a lot of stress and time.
Second, they can save you from getting into more debt in the future. One of the things that you should receive from a good debt consolidation program is help to improve your money management skills. In addition to that, they will help with the preparation of a solid personal or household budget so that you will avoid future debt problems like you are experiencing now.

Strange Heart Beating, by Eli Goldstone
Leda is dead. She was killed by a swan — well, what else? She leaves in her wake a widower, floundering in grief. Sorting through Leda's things, Seb finds a box of letters in Latvian, to someone named Olaf, a cousin he never knew she had: letters to a relative Leda had never talked about, about a childhood they'd never discussed, in a language Seb has never been able to speak. Unmoored by grief, Seb travels to Latvia to piece together her story. But with every day that passes in the hallucinatory wilds outside of Riga, with every curious apparition he meets from Leda's old life, Seb comes to realise that he knows less and less about his wife.
Strange Heart Beating could easily turn into an existentialist dirge about how one person can never know another, but Seb's narrative voice makes it more than that. Eli Goldstone has crafted a masterwork of minute bathos in Seb. A somewhat effete art historian, he is extravagantly sorrowful as only a self-confessed "slavish aesthete" could be — he carries a lock of Leda's hair and wallows in baroque pity. He is also uniquely ill-suited to the dark corner of Latvia where Leda comes from, and where he rocks up, hapless and unwitting. Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Hampstead anymore. The endless sandy beaches lose their allure when the mosquitos come out at dusk and those tangled, dark woods look less romantic when Seb is dragged along hunting wolves by cousin Olaf and his sidekick, the ambiguously sane Georgs. And all the while, the 'real' Leda slips further and further from Seb's grasp.
Interspersed between Seb's travails are snapshots of the life he came to Latvia to uncover, in the form of diary entries written by Leda herself over the course of a lifetime — snapshots that Seb never gets to see — ranging from the scribblings of a child who only dimly realises that she is having what might be termed a traumatic childhood, to the cynical posture of a young woman who realises she has to get out of Latvia, to leave the country and her own past behind.
Moving, tender, and poignant, but also richly peopled and crackling with a savage wit, Strange Heart Beating is not just a deliciously strange and oneiric attempt at answering a philosophical question — can we ever really know another person — but also a sympathetic sketch of human grief.
Eli Goldstone, Strange Heart Beating, Granta (London: 2017)
Granta kindly provided me with a review copy of Strange Heart Beating.

The estate extends on the whole on 100 ha of which 44 are planted with wine. It was born firstly as cattlefarming and milk production together with the running of the existing vineyards and the setting of new ones, while the first bottling line dates back to 1992.
The cultivation of vineyards is historically of 'Gavi' or 'Cortese di Gavi', an autochthonous vine which is named from the village with the same name and in this area it shows its best features thanks to mixed calcareous clayey soils with sand bed.
The farm with its vineyards in the neighbouring Alto Monferrato puts together with the cultivation of Cortese considerable yields of 'Dolcetto' and 'Barbera' grapes.

July 13th is Embrace Your Geekiness Day
I guess that in contrast to Geek Pride Day, May 25th, this is an attempt to get the "normals" to let loose and geek out a bit.
Credit apparently goes to WellCat for coming up with a list of quirky holidays. And to @girlwithflask for bringing it to my attention.
I embrace my geekiness daily, so this is really just another excuse to give a shoutout to all my geeky brothers and sisters. Geek on, my friends, geek on.
Are you going to celebrate? What will you do? Leave a comment!

Lawful Permanent Residence ("green card") status requires that an individual intend to reside permanently in the United States. Among the many benefits of holding a green card, a Lawful Permanent Resident ("LPR") may work in the U.S., travel abroad, and ultimately pursue U.S. citizenship. However, while an LPR may travel abroad temporarily, extended stays outside of the U.S. may jeopardize his or her LPR status, affect eligibility for naturalization, and any travel abroad could subject an LPR with certain criminal convictions to new grounds of removal.
Abandonment of Permanent Residency
As the title implies, lawful permanent residents must intend to permanently reside in the U.S. If an LPR no longer intends to make the U.S. his or her permanent home, his or her LPR status can be deemed abandoned and the U.S. government may revoke his or her green card. However, if a visit abroad is only a temporary one, then LPR status is not deemed abandoned.
When LPRs return from foreign travel, they must present their green card or passport with the LPR stamp to the Customs and Border Protection ("CBP"). With each entry back into the U.S., LPRs are subject to questioning and inspection by CBP, and, particularly after an extended absence, an Immigration Officer may challenge an LPR about abandonment of LPR status.
- Short Trips Abroad of 6 Months or Less.
- For most short trips abroad of six months or less, an LPR should be able to reenter the U.S. with a passport and green card (or passport stamp of LPR status).
- Trips Abroad of Over 6 Months
- However, an LPR risks having his or her LPR deemed abandoned when he or she is absent from the U.S. for longer than six months.
- Reentry Permits
- Therefore, prior to departing on such an extended trip, an LPR should apply for a Reentry Permit. This is particularly critical for trips of over a year. LPRs need to plan ahead for such trips because they must be physically present in the U.S. when applying for the reentry permit and should remain in the U.S. until their fingerprints are taken.
A reentry permit is valid for two years and allows LPRs to reenter the U.S. prior to expiration without having to return every six months to preserve LPR status. A reentry permit is not renewable, but an LPR may return to the U.S. before expiration in order to apply for a new one.
It is important to understand what a reentry permit will—and will not—do. Possession of a valid reentry permit prevents Immigration from relying solely on the length of the absence to establish abandonment of residency. However, whether an LPR has abandoned his or her residency is a factual determination specific to each case, and possession of a reentry permit does not prevent Immigration from questioning whether residency has been abandoned.
- Merely Visiting the U.S. Every Year or Even Every 6 Months is Not Enough
- Similarly, although helpful, merely visiting the U.S. every year, or even every 6 months, also does not prevent Immigration from inquiring into whether residency was abandoned. For instance, if an LPR lives abroad and returns to the U.S. only on brief annual visits on round-trip tickets, an Immigration Officer could challenge if the LPR has abandoned his or her residency.
- Evidence of LPR Intent
- Therefore, an LPR making a lengthy trip(s) abroad should also maintain and carry evidence that he or she intends to reside in the U.S. permanently, and that the trip abroad was only a temporary one. This can include evidence that:
- - the purpose of the trip was temporary
- - the visit was for a fixed period of time, with a fixed end date
- - any delay in returning to the U.S. was outside of the LPR's control
- - the LPR always had the intent to make the U.S. his or her permanent home (such as family ties, income tax returns, property ownership, organization membership, etc.)

"R"-Radiethesia(science of pendulum dowsing-T.C.Lethbridge). I hope that is the right spelling
"T"- TengYingfen............8th century Ch'an sage who decided to shock his students by not taking to his deathbed but to stand on his head until he died.This was in the hope he would give some of his students enough of a psychic shock they would instantly attain "satori"(enlightenment). Phew
"Y" Yoruba religion
Yoruba believe in a supreme being, in primordial divinities, and spirits that have been deified. God is known as Olodumare (the one who has the fullness of everything) and Olorun (the owner of heaven, the Lord whose abode is in the heaven above). Other names are also used that reflect the Yoruba belief that God has all the possible attributes of a person. As the Supreme Being created heaven and earth, he also brought into existence hundreds of divinities, and the spirits (Orisa, or Imole, and Ebora). Other historical figures, such as kings, culture heroes, founders of cities, etc. were deified, and are invoked along with personifications of natural forces such as earth, wind, trees, river, lagoon, sea, rock, hills and mountains. As in other African societies, Yoruba also believe in the active existence of the deceased ancestors.
"Z" Zeitoun...Egypt.
In 1968 thousands of Copts witnessed a vision of the "Virgin Mary" at Zeitoun.
p.s. is no-one else playing?
F..ollowing on from"E" I think,
Fox sisters (Kate, Leah, and Marggie) played important role in founding of the Spiritualist Church.
"G"...Golem...Jewish legend that certain Rabbi's can create a human slave from clay.Are never allowed to leave the house and are kept in by having word "emeth" (truth) written on their forehead.Golems do not stop growing and when they get too big the letter "E" is removed leaving "meth" (he is dead) and the Golem returns to clay.One supposedly grew so big that when he crumbled he crushed the Rabbi.
Hi P.J., Sorry I did not see you through the trees, I did try to reply a few minutes ago but when I hit the reply button I was returned to the main page and was showing as being logged in as a guest! Strange things happen in these enchanted woods.
Yes, George Fox did found the Quakers (only he knew they were missing obviously) and he travelled in North America for a while around 1671, I believe. His wife's name was Margaret as was one of the Fox sisters so it's quite possible there is some relationship, but as far as I know his sons lived in Nottingham and Leicester and were tradesmen so I don't really know. Now I sound like Mavis.
But wasn't Tolkien Jewish himself? (sorry S.F.)
Haven't seen the X-Files for years but I see a new movie is about to be launched, should be good, I used to like that programme.
Absolutely and what's more no offence taken or given.
like the word, kinda streamline thoughts...

The New Alternative Masculinities and the Overcoming of Gender Violence
Research about masculinities gathers different topics from diverse disciplinary perspectives. One of the topics has been the analysis of the perpetuation's effect of the traditional heterosexual model of masculinity in the violence against women. Recent scientific evidences about the reproduction of this social problem have evidenced the existence of three different types of masculinities (in the sense of the weberian ideal types): dominant traditional masculinity (DTM), oppressed traditional masculinity (OTM), and new alternative masculinities (NAM). The first two types contribute to perpetuate gender violence, while the latter allows preventing it and, consequently, it leads to its overcoming. This article approach the existence of these three types of masculinities and analyzes both, theirs characteristics and their consequences for violence against women. It presents evidences that what makes NAM providing a preventive effect is its linkage between the language of ethics and the language of desire.

Barbara Picower, who along with her husband, Jeffry, established the Picower Foundation in 1989, said in a statement on Friday that the foundation's grant-making would cease "effective immediately" and that it would "close its doors in the coming months."
She wrote in the statement that Madoff's "act of fraud has had a devastating impact on tens and thousands of lives as well as numerous philanthropic foundations and nonprofit organization."
Madoff is accused of swindling investors of $50 billion in a massive Ponzi scheme. He was ordered on Friday to remain in his Manhattan home under 24-hour surveillance and to hire security guards for protection.
The Picower Foundation has given millions to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Human Rights First and the New York Public Library. It also funded diabetes research at Harvard Medical School. It is based in Palm Beach, Fla., and has offices in New York.
The foundation, whose assets were managed by Madoff, said in its 2007 tax return its investment portfolio was valued at nearly $1 billion.
The foundation is by far one of the largest national philanthropic organizations to become mired in the financial mess created by Madoff's alleged scheme.

Integrated Supplements 100% Creapure Creatine 200 servings 1000 grams
List Price: unavailable
Sale Price: $25.99
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
Product Description
Although all creatine powders may look alike, looks can be deceiving. The fact is that potentially harmful impurities such as dicyandiamide, thiourea, and dihydrotriazine may be present in creatine products produced via some low-cost methods. And because many supplement companies simply use the cheapest creatine they can find (or whatever type of creatine happens to be "hot" at the moment), quality often varies widely from one brand of creatine to the next. That's why top researchers, medical professionals, and knowledgeable health-conscious individuals alike seek out Creapure Creatine Monohydrate - the patented product recognized worldwide as the benchmark for creatine quality. Only Creapure Creatine Monohydrate is produced using a unique patented process (U.S. patent 5,719,319) which guarantees the highest purity, and potency. Each batch is produced using Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) in an FDA-registered plant in Trostberg, Germany and is rigorously tested using state-of-the art high pressure
- 100% creapure micronized powder
- Improve exercise recovery and performance
- Increasing strength and energy

College Basketball By The Tweets: A Big Weekend and #FreePJ In CameronPosted by David Harten on December 17th, 2013
With Saturday marking the first weekend where college football didn't dominate the sports schedule, college basketball took full advantage, with some pivotal non-conference games on the docket, a few featuring Top 25 teams and some others that made an argument to be ranked.
If you're starting with Top 25 teams, you have to begin with No. 18 Kentucky at No. 11 North Carolina on Saturday, where the Tar Heels kept their head-scratching narrative going with an 82-77 victory in the Dean Dome. Marcus Paige dropped 23 points, including a 10-of-10 performance from the free throw line. After losing to Belmont at home and UAB in Birmingham, UNC has now notched victories over several of the top teams in the nation, beating the AP's top three preseason teams in America. As you'll see, you can attribute their elevated play to hot shooting against elite defensive teams, but it's pretty impressive that Roy Williams' bunch is doing all this without P.J. Hairston in the lineup (more on him at the bottom).
Marcus Paige has been terrific in the second half. UNC again rising to the occasion. Another inspiring performance by the Tarheels.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) December 15, 2013
Wow. North Carolina shot a combined 55.1 percent in the second halves of wins against Louisville, Michigan State and Kentucky.
— Brett Dawson (@BDawsonRivals) December 15, 2013
From last night … It's hard to watch North Carolina without thinking about the Hairston/McDonald NCAA debacle. http://t.co/M2Za7px4NX
— Ryan Fagan (@ryanfagan) December 15, 2013
Soooo the Tarheels have beat the #1 #3 and #11 without their #1 scorer and #3 best player? #dope. Can't wait for conference play. Ya dig.
— • (@iVoryBabyBaby) December 17, 2013
Another game that really caught the public eye on Saturday was No. 1 Arizona heading to the Crisler Center to take on Michigan. The Wildcats came back late and held on to win to preserve their spot at the top of the polls. While Brandon Ashley led the Cats with a team-high 18 points, Aaron Gordon put up his own nice performance of 14 points, five rebounds and two assists, but saved his best for what he did defensively in the second half against a red-hot Glenn Robinson III.

We, current humanity as a whole take way too much drugs. I'm not speaking about illegal substances here, but perfectly legal stuff. In the giant void of the modern world many of us ingest enough «medicine» to fight off depression to kill an elephant. It's widespread, all over the world. We carry the void, the emptiness with us, wherever we go.
There is enormous general suffering, and to keep the stark truth of the modern alienation at bay, we eat drugs like candy. The government and the Pharma-industry encourage this behavior, both because of greed and to keep our most powerful and (in their eyes) dangerous emotions from expression themselves.
I have never used any kind of anti-depressive or its like. I love my emotions and love them even more when they ascend into disorder. There should be far more disorder. It's a healthy reaction to an insane world.
But most people prefer the even calm, the death of strong emotions. They don't want to admit to themselves the horror that is their lives. And they do as they are told. Some, and an increasing number even kill themselves, because they can't live with themselves and the world, as it has become.
Ever more diseases and «psychological disorders» are introduced, are invented in order to explain away what those in charge don't want explained.
We are told to take a pill for any tiny malady and perceived mental instability and we do.
Therapists and government spokespersons claim to be surprised when the use of anti-depressive drugs increases, but they aren't, of course. To them it's both an expected and desirable development.
I'm not surprised either. Anybody fairly aware isn't and shouldn't be. Once again: you don't need a crystal ball to see the obvious.
One more thing: I will encourage people to not kill themselves. They shouldn't, but should be angry, very angry.
«I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore»! - Howard Beale - Network
«In the postmodern void that is the United States today, tens of millions of all ages take anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication. It's not unimaginable that before long, psychotropic drugs will be routinely prescribed for everyone, beginning in infancy. And this is just one example in a list of well-known pathologies that bridge the personal and social spheres. Why are people willing, even eager, to accept a drug-induced state as normal in themselves and their children»?

Entering a new basketball season as a free agent meant a new team, new city, and new country for us. This new season brought us to Spain in a small city in the Basque Country – Vitoria-Gasteiz. We had been eager to get into Spain since the beginning of this career because of its competitiveness and, of course, because it's Spain – as an American, who wouldn't want a chance to live here and/or visit?! Continue reading "A new home in Spain"
Revisiting Barcelona!
We are spending the beginning of this new season in Spain, in a city up north about an hour from Bilbao called Vitoria-Gasteiz. I just arrived last Monday and have been battling the jet lag pretty poorly…(Unfortunately, my body is taking too long to adjust so I've been delaying sharing a sneak peak of our new home away from home (coming soon though :)).
Regardless, I planned a quick trip to Barcelona just a few days after arriving, the location of the first game of the regular season. How could I pass this up?! Barcelona might be my favorite city out of all the European cities I've visited and lived in. This was my second time visiting, which gave me more time to truly enjoy the city without the pressure of making sure all the "famous" sites are explored. Continue reading "Revisiting Barcelona!"
Moscow in the Spring
Much to our surprise, Matt got a few off days in the Spring, but, unlike in December, was not long enough to go as far as Switzerland, especially given the difficult travel from Krasnodar. Therefore, after much deliberation, we decided to spend a few days in Moscow for him to actually enjoy the city outside of basketball. Continue reading "Moscow in the Spring"

St. Petersburg and Moscow in the middle of Winter
This past January I was able to finally venture out of Krasnodar and into two of Russia's most well-known cities: St. Petersburg and Moscow. An opportunity to travel within Russia should never be forgone… ESPECIALLY when you already live there and have a multi-entry 3-year visa. My family was able to visit for 9 days, and we definitely took advantage…enjoying sufficient time in each. Continue reading "St. Petersburg and Moscow in the middle of Winter"
Go-to Makeup Products
I only started getting into makeup at age 25. Up until then I only really dabbled here and there with some face powder, but mostly just used blush, mascara, and occasionally some dark eyeshadow to create a smokey eye. For whatever reason I always related any "real" makeup (foundation, concealer, and the like) with covering bad skin and was always afraid to use it…mostly because I was just ignorant as to how fun makeup could be! However, when we lived in Istanbul I just remember a girlfriend convincingly enticed me to try a NARS tinted moisturizer, and that's when it all started! Continue reading "Go-to Makeup Products"

£10 each
?uestlove (3 Hour Set)
Spin Doctor (The Doctor's Orders)
Eric Lau (Ubiquity)
& DJ Excalibah
Few names in music carry quite as much kudos of that of our headline DJ ?uestlove. He has worked with such a phenomenal array of talent while always leaving his own distinctive mark on each one. The list reads like a who's who of modern Hip-Hop & Soul; Jay-Z, Al Green, Erykah Badu, J-Dilla, Common, Joss Stones & De La Soul to name just a handful. All this before we mention The Roots for whom this is an official after party for the live show at Hammersmith Apollo.
As a drummer he is a funky metronome that has brought to life so many tracks originally created through samples, drum machines and computers. Just check out his leadership of the ever morphing group of musicians that calls itself the "Illadelphonics" on Jay-Z's unplugged album (Roc-A-Fella) and Madison Square performance in "Fade To Black" (Paramount) or at "Dave Chapelle's Block Party" (Rogue Pictures) for an example of this. As a producer, both on his own and as part of the Soulquarians alongside J-Dilla, Q-Tip & Ali Shaheed Muhammad, his musical knowledge and understanding has seen him bring the classic Al Green sound bang up to date on "Lay It Down" (Blue Note) as well as bring the very best out of performers like D'Angelo & A Tribe Called Quest.
He'll be making the most of all of these phenomenal attributes as he blesses The Doctor's Orders crowd to what, if last year's show was anything to go by, is sure to be a real treat for all Soul and Hip-Hop fans alike. With only 350 tickets available this is sure to be another packed house so grab your ticket now and get there early to get your spot on the dance-floor.

This years theme will be "Deep Oceans"
The instructions are to design and make an outfit that is entirely, or mostly, made from materials that were originally bought and used for a non-clothing purpose. For example, discarded DVDs, video or audio tape, chicken wire, fly screen, wall paper, tea towels, kitchenware, cutlery, plastic bags, hessian bags, office supplies, polystyrene packing, or car seat belts. There are two categories, Secondary School (Years 7 to 12) and Open. Please see the competition terms and conditions.
Last year I entered the Fashion Less Waste 2011 competition myself, in an outfit inspired by the birds of paradise. Whilst I did not make it to the finals, there were some wonderful, and really inspiring entries, you can see the finalists talent here.
I am yet to decide if I will enter this year's competition, but if I do, here is some inspiration for the theme "Deep Ocean"

In all my years as a convert, I've learned many prayers. It was during a most difficult time in my life that I learned to offer up the Eucharist for someone else.
Our parish was going through a consolidation and my husband and I were struggling not only with the changes, but with some of the people involved. I was pregnant with our daughter and my emotions were raw.
I felt unworthy to receive the Eucharist because of my feelings towards the people we were working with, but I had a concern for our baby's health so I offered up my Communion for her.
We eventually left the parish. It was never a question of leaving the Catholic Church, but of finding one where we could practice our faith again without distraction. We wanted to heal from the lies and disrespect. It took a while, but we were able to move on.
What was the result of offering up the Eucharist for our daughter? She is an adult now who attends Mass, practices and defends her faith.
When another family member experienced a crisis recently, I remembered the most powerful prayer and I offered up my Communion for them also. That person is now in the process of healing.
On the Feast day of St. Alphonsus Liguori (August 1), I read these words of this great saint in the Magnificat:
"If you desire to find him immediately, see – he is quite close to you. Tell him what you desire, for it is to console you and grant your prayer that he remains in the tabernacle."
And this:
… hear Mass every day; practice mental prayer and the visitation of the most Holy Sacrament; go to Communion at least once a week; fly from evil conversations; walk always with God; and you shall see that, by such a life, you will enjoy that sweetness and peace which the world, with all it delights, has not hitherto been able to give you.
Since I've had the opportunity to attend daily Mass, I've been offering up my communion for various people. One day, as I approached the altar, I asked the Lord to save a small piece just for me.
Have you ever offered up your communion for anyone else? Were you able to witness the results?

I have been slacking a bit with my blog posts. I often stated that as a coach I use a three phase cycle. First, the phase of information-acquisition such as reading, listening, and observing. Then the second phase of processing and implementing the new information, basically experimenting or trying things out in real life. And then there is the third phase of evaluating and sharing the information, which comes down to get to the core of the information and writing and lecturing. These last couple of months I have gone back to first phase: gathering information. I bought and downloaded several thousands of books covering a very wide spectrum of subjects.
The buying and downloading might been a matter of days, but reading them takes a little bit longer, even though my reading speed is beyond the scale and many books contain overlapping information. No, I did not read them all yet. This is the issue of reading a lot: it becomes more difficult to read something really new. I also cautiously started working with the new information. Next to the specific information for my work as educator and coach, mainly about sports, I always try to read about a range of different subjects. First of all to stay sane and to not become myopic or lost, and also to keep seeing things in perspective and to avoid boredom.
Of course the summer season saw a lot of turbulence in sports e.g. the Olympics in Rio.
One could observe a few things during the Olympics in Rio: as I have stated before, despite the deceiving numbers presented by the organizers, I saw more empty seats than ever before – it was shocking sometimes. To me it shows again that the Olympics are past their expiry date.
We also saw the ban of the Russian athletes at the Rio Olympics. A useless symbolic political move which does not at all affect the Russian system which is blamed for the systematic state supported use of doping. No, I am pretty sure the Russian designers and controllers of the system were watching the Olympics from their VIP seats in Rio. It shows once and again that sport is heavily "polluted' by global politics. It is just a large and expensive circus with the expected outcome for the organizing city: the city of Rio is bankrupt and had barely have enough money left to stage the Paralympics.
Olympics: milking and manipulating the masses for the profit and power of few. Athletes have become just an alibi, disposable pawns for personal interests of few powerful people. Too bad seeing this happening over the years.
We also saw that WADA, the crusaders for clean sports, did really nothing to support whistleblower Julia Stepanova and her family. Her case was moving fast from one organization to another: IOC, WADA, IAAF, CAS, nobody had the courage and took the responsibility to stand up for her. And even worse, WADA isn't even capable of protecting the confidential data of the where-about system of Julia, thus putting her life and the lives of her family in danger by having their database system hacked. Who knows who now knows Julia's last address. It forced her and her family to be on the move again. This definitely is not a motivation boost for any whistleblower, unless they want to commit social and financial suicide.
But we also saw incredible performances. For me stood out: the unbelievable 400 m of Wade van Nieuwkerk. He became Olympic champion and broke the world record from the outside lane. The performance of the US 4×100 women, smart enough to finish their race after the mess at one of the exchanges, then qualifying running all by themselves, and to top it off by becoming Olympic champion from lane one, beating the Jamaican team. The Olympics are also the opportunity to watch and observe other sports, the ones that you don't see nor watch normally, in my case e.g. archery. What a nerve wracking event, I became a fan immediately!
In between all these I had my lecturing tour in the USA, felt a little bit a rock star, but then without the groupies and the drugs. Yes, a few excellent local beers, but that was about it. First to CVASPS in Richmond, in my top 3 of best seminars at the moment, taking everything into consideration and getting better every year.
This year my dear friend and colleague Jay deMayo came out with "The Manual" Vol.1 a collection of chapters by different authors in which I wrote the chapter about Muscle-fiber specific training.
Then off to Madison, seeing two other friends and colleagues: Jim Snider and Erik Helland, in the great city between the lakes, great university too. Last stop was Minneapolis, home base of my dynamic friend Cal Dietz. Lecturing with Cal and Chris Korfist, who I know for the longest time already, working with vibration platforms and power-measurements.
Also in the last few months, I finished my first book about sprint and sprint training published by Elite Athlete Concepts and just is about to come out. But believe me, writing a book is a time consuming activity.
One of the main topics of my recent studies is ways to improve organ and cellular functioning by modifying signaling pathways. We do this all the time e.g. by living, by nutrition and by exercising. But for me that is not enough, I would like to do this more specifically and selectively, thus supporting the processes already being modified by nutrition and exercise. These pathways can be stimulated by bioactive compounds of which there are many thousands, or by electro-magnetic waves with the right waveform, frequency and amplitude.
Every cell has many ion channels, receptors or transporters that are dependent on electromagnetic forces as well as the presence of chemical substances like hormones, neurotransmitters or ions. It is not an easy task comprehending all of this, I can tell you. But the combined knowledge of many researchers, published in many of those thousands of books and oh, still I forgot the thousands of articles next to those, helped me a great deal in understanding the ways this can be done. I found some extremely interesting concepts and applications and am currently experimenting with these to see if the theoretical possibilities will match real life challenges.

KINGSTON — Lisa Marie Cathie has been named president and CEO of Ulster Savings Bank.
KINGSTON — Lisa Marie Cathie has been named president and CEO of Ulster Savings Bank.
Cathie is currently senior vice president and CEO of Orange County Trust Company.
Albert Gruner, chairman of Ulster Savings' board of directors, gave Cathie an enthusiastic endorsement:
"Lisa brings an impressive combination of vision, leadership, financial acumen and executive management in banking to Ulster Savings, and will ensure we continue to exceed our customers' expectations and significantly contribute to the communities we serve,"
At Orange County Trust, Cathie directed the overall operations of the organization, including branch administration, information technology, business development and loan servicing.
Over the past three years, she guided the bank's branch expansion to nine from five, almost doubling Orange County Trust's assets.
Cathie replaces Marjorie Rovereto, who resigned in Ulster Savings in March. That was shortly after investigators began looking at the bank's contract with the Kingston Police Gold Shield Society, a nonprofit offshoot of the Kingston Police Department. The society came under scrutiny when its leader, former Kingston Lt. Tim Matthews, was accused of stealing money from police operations.
Celebrating its 160th Anniversary this year, Ulster Savings has 14 branch offices in Ulster, Dutchess and Greene Counties and mortgage origination offices in Ulster, Orange, Dutchess and Suffolk Counties with total assets of more than $730 million.
Cathie resides in Highland with her husband, Bruce, and their two children. She will begin with Ulster Savings on Oct. 24.
