Apparently we are in our "Salad Days" of summer here in Chicago if my last two posts are any indication. And why not? It is summer. It is hot. The produce is phenomenal now and when life hands you heirloom tomatoes — well, you make salads.
I believe the perfect salad has got to be the traditional Caprese. But it is salad that, in my opinion, can truly only be enjoyed in summer when the tomatoes are at their peak. The styrafoam-no-taste tomatoes of winter and spring just won't cut it. But even now, when tomatoes are pure perfection, I had to ask myself: "Is there a way to improve upon the quintessential, classic combination of ingredients that make up the perfect salad?" What could possibly make this even better. Bacon!!! Truth be told, I find that "bacon" is often the answer to many of life's ponderables.
So, without further ado, I present this week's Weekly Winner – Hot Bacon Caprese Salad which comes from Southern Living Magazine.
Hot Bacon Caprese Salad
- 2 ½ pounds heirloom tomatoes, cut into ½ -inch slices
- 1 (16-oz.) package fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into ½ -inch slices
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves
- 6 thick bacon slices, coarsely chopped
- 3 to 4 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Arrange tomatoes and cheese on a serving platter, placing basil leaves between slices. Sprinkle with desired amount of salt and pepper.
- Saute chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp. Remove from heat, reserving bacon and 2 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Let stand 1 minute. Add vinegar and oil, stirring to loosen browned bits from bottom of skillet. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. kosher salt and 1/2 tsp. black pepper.
- Drizzle warm bacon mixture over tomatoes and cheese. Serve immediately.

A Dallas Police Officer is in fair condition following a hit and run accident this Sunday on C.F. Hawn Freeway/SH 175.
According to the Dallas News, Officer Samantha Matje was driving down the freeway westbound when an unknown vehicle sideswiped her police cruiser and then immediately left the scene of the car accident. After being struck by the hit-and-run vehicle, the police cruiser than slid into a third vehicle.
Emergency responders to the Texas car accident rushed Matje to Dallas' Baylor Medical Center where she is recovering from her serious injuries.
Texas police do not have a description of the car that struck the officer or the person driving, but tell the media that the involved vehicle most likely has significant front-end damage. Witnesses to the car accident or anyone who might know about who struck the officer are asked to contact the Dallas Police Traffic Unit by calling 214-670-5816 with any information.

Up today I am going to play around a bit with Three.js lighting and material. I have my avatar island pretty much as far as I am going to take it. Before switching back to Gladius, however, I would like to take a quick look at something that Gladius does well: materials.
For the most part during my Three.js experiment, I have been using
The normal material produces a flat, colorful surface on the mesh, even without any lighting:
var material = new THREE.MeshNormalMaterial();
// The head
var head_shape = new THREE.SphereGeometry(75);
var head = new THREE.Mesh(head_shape, material);
head.position.y = (100 + 35) * .8;
// The body
var body_shape = new THREE.CylinderGeometry(1, 100, 100);
var body = new THREE.Mesh(body_shape, material);
The normals, the faces pointing out, are given a nice coloring to make them distinctive from each other. It works well especially when first getting started.
I have also been making extensive use of
var material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x0000bb });This produces:
Again, I do not have any external lighting. This material has its own intrinsic color emanating from it. It is a bit unrealistic in that sense, but it works well for islands, skyboxes and other scenery.
But, if I add a simple light to the scene:
var light = new THREE.PointLight(); light.position.set(50, 150, 150); scene.add(light);I still get the same look:
According to the PointLight documentation, this is to be expected. The
PointLight has an effect with the
MeshPhongMaterial (named for Phong Shading) and
MeshLambertShading (see Lambert Reflectance).
Leaving the
PointLight in place, I change the material to
var material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({ color: 0x0000bb });This results in a more satisfactory 3D illumination:
Switching to
var material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({ color: 0x0000bb });
Produces a slightly duller (more matte) version:
For now, I am going to stick with the Phong material, but up the shininess to 50 (the default is 30):
var material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({ color: 0x0000bb, shininess: 50 });Then I try a series of lights at 10 intensity:
var light = new THREE.PointLight(0xffffff, 10); light.position.set(50, 150, 150); scene.add(light);The point light results in:
Next, a directional light:
var directionalLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 10); directionalLight.position.set(50, 150, 150); directionalLight.target = head; scene.add( directionalLight );Which results in:
The spotlight is defined as:
var spotLight = new THREE.SpotLight( 0xffffff, 10); spotLight.position.set( 50, 150, 150 ); scene.add( spotLight );And looks like:
That is a pretty hectic introduction to all of this stuff, but I have a better grasp then when I started. There is also a pretty excellent example app demonstrating the differences between different materials with a flying light source.

How to bring Simplicity to your Web forms
October 10, 2010 6 Comments
Using White Space
Most of Web 2.0 pages are flat. Actually designers use empty space of a page to make it simple and focused. For example, imagine that you have a page with a Top Menu and a Main Content area, to get focus to your Main Contents you have to use a simple Top Menu and some white space between menu and Main Contents, by this, your Top & Main Sections will separate completely and visitor will determine the content area as easy as possible. It helps that Top Navigation and Main Contents, focus to their own content with no conflict to other parts.
Using Solid Area
You can use white space to split your page areas up in which your page sections are seperated from each other, or using Solid Areas for integrate sections. This approach help those which doesn't like White Spaces on page and want to design an integrate page, so that, to make focus, use some Solid Areas on page. Simplest approach to make Solid areas is to use Color. You can assign different colors to different areas to distinct them. But note that you have to use different range of color for each section and finding a good composition is not so easy.
There are some Websites that gives you idea to have a good composition. One of the best one is http://www.ColorLovers.com. I like it so much, most of the time I choose one composition from suggested colors.
You have to make sure that your different areas are completly seperated by using different colors and they are in touch with each other with a good composition.
Bigger and Bold Texts
Text size in web pages can split your content areas. Actually when you got focus to an area (like Main Content or Top Menu or etc) you can break it into some local regions. You have some choices to do this, for instance, you can use images, Icons, Bold or Bigger Text sizes. (I'll talk about using Icons and images later in another post). Using text to separate regions has some advantages like:
- It is Search Engine Friendly
- Cause to higher rank in search results (if you use standard html tag – h1, strong)
- It is easier to implement
- Users can understand it at a glance
- It is integrate with your contents
If you are familiar with some other approaches to make pages simpler share it with me.

Suit: Bad Hair Transplant Caused Suicide Attempt
PITTSBURGH - Michael Potkul says he was told he would have a scar no wider than the stroke of a pen if he underwent surgery to rearrange his scalp to get a full head of hair.
Instead, he claims, he ended up with scars from his temples to his neck and depression that drove him to attempt suicide. And he's still losing his hair.
Potkul, 33, took off his hairpiece yesterday to show the marks to a jury - including three men with thinning hair - that is hearing his $1.3 million malpractice lawsuit against Dr. Dominic A. Brandy.
Potkul said Brandy sugar-coated the risks of surgery and operated repeatedly despite the deterioration of his scalp. Brandy claims Potkul signed a consent form that mentioned scarring, then abandoned treatment before a final, essential operation.
"If you do enough cases, you're going to have patients here and there who will voice their displeasure in a courtroom," said Jerry Brandy, the doctor's brother and executive director of his practice.
Potkul said he contacted Dominic Brandy six years ago after seeing him on a talk show. Potkul's hair was beginning to thin, and his brothers were being teased about going bald.
"Everything depends on looks. You can turn on the TV at night and see 30 infomercials about everything you can do to your body - diet videos, all that stuff. I wanted to look like everybody else. I wanted to look good," Potkul said during a break in the trial in Allegheny County Court.
Brandy performed five operations to stretch hairy skin from the back of Potkul's head to the top and to transfer grafts of hairy scalp to cover bald spots, Potkul said. The sixth operation would have been another scalp graft.
But Potkul said he was so depressed by the results of the first five operations that he shot himself in the chest in 1992. The bullet missed his heart and went out his back.
Brandy severed key arteries as he tried to stretch Potkul's scalp, stunting hair growth instead of encouraging it, said Dr. Ernest Manders, Potkul's new plastic surgeon. He said he is reluctant to alter Potkul's scalp any more because the skin could die.
Manders said that, as an associate editor of a medical journal, he once rejected an article submitted by Brandy on scalp reconstruction because the methods were "potentially harmful" and had "significant limitations."
Brandy has been in practice for 15 years and runs an ad campaign for his services in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.
"Dominic Brandy is a salesman who just happens to have a medical degree," Potkul said. "He really needs somebody to come along and wake him up to what he is doing and make him clean up his act."

Better Down Where It's Wetter!
Dude, I don't care how stupid it is. I dig the new Chemical Brothers video!
"The Salmon Dance"! With scenes straight out of The Little Mermaid, the Brothers educate us on the habits of this tasty animal! Fatlip as a rapping fish is even better than Fatlip as a clown! There's also a beatboxing blowfish! What's not to like?
Oh, I guess everything that the above Stereogum readers complain about.
Sure, "The Salmon Dance" isn't much more beyond the same generic electronic beats (along with some unnecessary vocal processing) that the Brothers have been providing for years. But now it's playful! I can get behind that.
Plus Finding Nemo makes me weep like a baby.
Tears Of A Clownstep
Because Wikipedia is awful, they have endless articles about Drum and Bass subgenre subgenres!
For example, I really don't need to know anything about clownstep. But now I do.
As described, clownstep comes off as the Happy Hardcore of Drum and Bass. Yuck! Drum and Bass is painful enough. Listening to a subgenre like clownstep may cause my dick to cut itself off.
I would much prefer if clownstep was actually just music by Fatlip.

10th February 2017
With 'Dry January' now out of the way, it's time to start thinking about booking a potential city break away in Europe, where you can have fun and enjoy a few well-deserved drinks. A brewery tour is the perfect day out for a beer enthusiast, and there are many across Europe for you to choose from.
Whether you're a family or a couple, or even if you're not too keen on beer, there's plenty more to do on these tours besides drinking. You can learn about the history of the area, or keep yourself entertained in the souvenir shops, as well as exploring the beautiful European cities which surround the breweries.
Here at Asda Money, we've picked a few of our favourite brewery tours around Europe, where you can learn all about the history behind the beer and the brand, whilst enjoying a tipple or two!
Amsterdam is well-known for its numerous canals, quirky coffee shops, and the seemingly endless tourist attractions; one of them being the Heineken Experience. Established in 1864, Heineken is one of the largest beer producers in the world, and you can now learn all about it in this exciting, interactive tour of the original brewery.
The facility was built as the first Heineken brewery in 1867, but it closed down in 1988 and moved to a larger facility. The building now lives on as the Heineken Experience, which features a museum and many interactive attractions for visitors to explore. As well as learning about the history of the Heineken family, visitors also get the chance to have a little fun by making their own music video! What makes this tour special is its multimedia exhibit, where visitors 'become' a beer, and get shaken up and sprayed with water!
Amsterdam is charming in the colder months, and it's also the cheapest time to visit. Airfares are at their lowest in November and February. There are also plenty of attractions surrounding the brewery, including the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum, and Vondelpark.
Sitting in Southern Germany, close to the tourist hot-spot of Munich, is Erding, a small town best known for the family-run Erdinger Brewery. Since 2000, visitors have been able to take a tour around the world's largest wheat beer brewery, where they are taken on a journey through the world of Erdinger Weissbier.
Here you will get to see the brewers in action! You'll learn all about how the beer is brewed, what happens in the bottling plant, as well as some of the brewery's best kept secrets.
After this educational and exciting three-hour tour, you'll get a chance to try the full range of Erdinger wheat beers, whilst enjoying traditional Bavarian snacks such as white sausages and pretzels.
There's plenty to do in Erding, including walking around the picturesque city, learning about its history at a range of museums, and taking a dip in Therme Erding; the second largest thermal bath complex in Europe! March is the cheapest time to fly to Munich.
If you're heading to Belgium on your next European trip and you're a beer lover, then the Stella Artois Brewery in Leuven is a must! Here you can see with your own eyes how Stella Artois has been successfully brewed for over seven centuries.
The best thing about this attraction is that there are different tours depending on how curious you are; The Classic Tour, The Beer Tour, and The Draught Tour. If you're a real beer enthusiast, then The Stella Artois Draught Tour is for you. Not only will you learn about the fermentation process and get to sample the product, you'll also receive a special draught course.
When you're not taking a tour around the brewery, there's plenty more to see in Leuven, including Botanical Garden Kruidtuin, the Town Hall, and the Old Market Square. You're also only 45 minutes away from the capital of Belgium, the City of Brussels. March is the cheapest time to visit Leuven and Hotels are fairly cheap around this time of the year too!
If you're visiting Copenhagen and you're a beer enthusiast, then Visit Carlsberg should be at the top of your to-do list. The Carlsberg Brewery dates back to 1847, and has since been converted into a popular tourist attraction, where you'll get to experience the history behind this popular beer throughout time.
This exhibition is located in J.C. Jacobsen's original brewery, so you'll experience a real-life brewing atmosphere when on the tour. The tour begins in the old granary, with an introduction into the history of Carlsberg and the Jacobsen family. You'll then go on to hear all about the process of producing beer, and Carlsberg's big investments in science and developments over the years.
As well as a tour around the brewery, you can also take part in beer tasting, where you will learn about the ingredients and the brewing process, including how these affect the flavour.
Once you're finished at Visit Carlsberg, there's plenty more to do and see in Copenhagen, including Copenhagen Zoo, Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park, and the beautiful Kronborg Castle. Like many other European destinations, the cheapest time to fly to Copenhagen is in the winter months of February and March.
Whichever brewery tour you choose to visit on your next trip to Europe, don't forget to buy your travel insurance and collect your currency beforehand. Get yourself excited for your brewery tour by trying some of Asda's beers from their European beer range.

Q: What is a subluxation?
A: When one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves. Think of a garden hose when you bend it. Water will still come out but not at 100%. The goal is to return to 100%.
Q: Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
A: Yes. There are, however, in rare cases where chiropractic treatment is not suitable. This will be determined during the examination process.
Q: Does an adjustment hurt?
A: No. A vast majority of patients say there is a feeling of relief. A chiropractor's focus is to deliver a low pressure, high velocity thrust to correct spinal misalignments (subluxations).
Q: Can I adjust myself?
A: No. Some people like to give bear hugs to each other to hear the spine "pop." This however, is not an adjustment. It's no different than cracking your knuckles. An adjustment is a specific technique that takes years to learn. A chiropractor must also see a chiropractor to get adjusted.
Q: How long do I have to come to the chiropractor?
A: The number of adjustments depends on the health goals of the patient as well as the severity of each case. Understand that most cases don't just happen overnight and therefore cannot be corrected with one visit. They take time to manifest themselves as pain and as a result take time to reverse. There isn't a doctor out there that just wants to see you once in your lifetime. Repeated visits to your chiropractor will help keep your body at optimum level.
Q: Will chiropractic make my spine loose?
A: No. A chiropractor will only target spine segments that are "fixed or locked up," thus returning them to their normal motion.
Q: Isn't some pain normal?
A: No. Pain is the body's way of telling you that something isn't right. Pain is the "last to show and first to go," when it comes to subluxations. However, since most of us can adapt to minor aches and pains, we will shrug off most cases. While the pain may go away on its own, the underlying problem is still present and getting worse, making it more difficult and more expensive to treat.

Shooting has broken out in the Sudanese capital Khartoum between the army and disgruntled elite troops from an agency once loyal to ex-leader Omar al-Bashir.
The agency, the General Intelligence Service, is being disbanded.
Heavy gunfire could be heard for hours in parts of the city, and the airport is closed.
The government describes the row as a mutiny over severance pay, but there are concerns this could be an attempt to derail the political transition.
A senior member of the ruling Sovereign Council, Gen Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemeti, has accused former intelligence chief Salah Gosh of being behind the unrest.
He said that while he did not consider the incident a coup attempt, such action would not be tolerated.
BBC World Service Africa Editor Will Ross says there have long been fears that the stability of Sudan could be tested by once powerful figures who are against the major reforms carried out since Bashir's overthrow in April last year.
Soldiers from the intelligence agency posted videos of their colleagues firing heavy weapons into the night sky in a show of force.
Reuters news agency quoted residents as saying there was some fighting in a northern district of Khartoum, and a security building was seized by mutineers near the airport.
Meanwhile Agence France Presse said five people were wounded when shots were fired at the unit's bases.
The country's main protest group called for an end to "these irresponsible operations that are causing terror among citizens".
At least 170 people were killed during the months-long crackdown against the protest movement last year. The unit, then known as the National Intelligence and Security Service, played a major part in the crackdown.
Bashir was eventually overthrown by the military, 30 years after he took power in a coup.
He was sentenced to two years in a social reform facility for corruption in December.

The development of chairside "CAD/CAM" (Computer Assisted Design/Manufacture) of porcelain crowns has changed patients experience and improved the quality of patient care in a variety of ways.
If you have had crowns placed in the past, you may recall the traditional methods. A dentist will get the area numb and prepare the tooth for the crown (also commonly referred to as "cap"). This portion of the appointment is the same whether it is done the traditional method or through CAD-CAM. Using traditional techniques, your dentist then "takes an impression." Which means they place "PVS" a rubbery goo on a tray and you hold still while the material sets.
At a traditional crown appointment, a temporary crown must then be fabricated and temporarily cemented. Your first appointment concludes when the dentist has checked the bite and temporary crown fit. Meanwhile, the impression is sent to a lab where a technician pours up a stone model of your tooth/preparation and fabricates the crown out of all gold, PFM (porcelain fused to metal) or all porcelain. Typically, your second appointment is scheduled 10-14 days later, to test fit (and if all is well) permanently cement your crown.
Utilizing CAD-CAM method, your appointment and experience will be quite different than the traditional workflow. Following the preparation of your tooth, the prep is then digitally scanned.
At this point, you, the patient, have a 30-40 minute break (bring a good book, an iPad or laptop and enjoy our complimentary WiFi!) Once the digital scans are complete, the dentist designs the crown using computer software. This typically takes 10-20 minutes. The crown is then sent to a milling machine, located in our dental lab where a small block of porcelain (typically either Empress or IPS E.Max).
Once milling is complete the porcelain crown is then test fitted in your mouth, to ensure that the real crown feels and fits as well in reality as it does in the digital design world. Once that determination has been made, your crown is either hand-polished or baked in a porcelain oven. Then it is permanently cemented. One appointment, typically around two hour duration, and you leave the office with your permanent crown in place for good!
Carpe Diem!

A few copies of Cemetery Heritage in Quebec: A Handbook are still available directly from the offices of the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN).
Published by QAHN in 2008 as part of its Cemetery Heritage Inventory and Restoration Initiative (CHIRI), the illustrated, 52-page handbook, which is now in its second printing, contains a wealth of information on cemetery law in Quebec, cemetery associations, registered charities, fundraising, municipal citation of heritage sites, cemetery maintenance, gravestone repair, recruiting volunteers, and more.
As rural populations dwindle, assuring the care of historic cemeteries is becoming increasingly challenging. This handbook regards cemeteries "not merely as repositories of the dead, but as tangible links to the past, a part of our heritage to be cherished." It is designed as a reference guide for cemetery trustees and caretakers, and as a starting point for everyone interested in the preservation of Quebec's pioneer heritage.
To order a copy of Cemetery Heritage in Quebec: A Handbook, send cheque or money order for $15.00 (includes shipping and handling to anywhere in Quebec) to QAHN, 400-257 Queen, Sherbrooke (Lennoxville), Quebec, Canada J1M 1K7.
For more information, contact QAHN at (819) 564-9595 or at: firstname.lastname@example.com .

12 team - H2H - 7 keepers
My current keepers would be Kemp, Cargo, Stanton, Longoria, Castro, Hosmer, and Carlos Santana. I would leave behind prospects Bauer and Rizzo.
I recently traded my pitching(Strasburg, King Felix) for Cargo and Kemp because my league has NO innings limit. No innings limit means I've been rolling out 6 good/great relief pitchers and I've been winning 4 or 5 out of 8 categories every week. So starting pitching is not something i highly value. Even if an innings limit is instituted next year, I can focus on pitching because my bats would pretty much be set.
That being said, is Hosmer/Bauer too much to give up for JUpton?

Fjällräven Räven 28 Backpack blue ridge
30 day return policy
Free delivery for small parts from £991
40,000 items
600 brands
Simple and durable everyday backpack made from durable G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco in recycled polyester and organic cotton. Simple design and practical details make it perfect for commuting or everyday outings. It has a separate, padded pocket for a laptop computer (up to 15 inches in size). A little fleece-lined pocket with a zipper has room for sunglasses, a phone etc.
Two spacious zippered compartments with internal pockets give flexibility when you want to keep your gear organised. There is also a zippered front pocket and two side pockets for drink bottles and other items you want to keep close to hand. Comfortable padded shoulder straps and foam frame sheet.

G-1000 Heavy Duty
G-1000 is robust, but G-1000 Heavy Duty goes one step further. It is impregnated with Greenland Wax on both sides, making it tougher than ever. But because it is less breathable than the original G-1000, Fjällräven uses it for products where durability is more important than air permeability. For example, as a reinforcing material in places that are particularly stressed and for many of the bags and backpacks.
G-1000 Eco
G-1000 Eco consists of recycled polyester and certified organic cotton, making it the ecological alternative in Fjällräven's G-1000 product family. Like the original G-1000 fabric, the G-1000 Eco fabric is also highly durable and functional.

In case you missed it…
The TV show "Glee" has done a lot for America. It gave rock stars something else to complain about. Made musicals at least somewhat socially acceptable. And — maybe most importantly — gave hopeless romantics another way to propose marriage to their soul mates.
I'm talking about the "Glee" flash mobs, of course. One planned in Seattle's Westlake Center Saturday was briefly interrupted when one of those so-called "Gleeks" asked his girlfriend to marry him.

Jesus has some final words to Peter, and Saul hears Jesus speaking to him on the road to Damascus in the selections for the third Sunday of Easter. Those passages include: Acts 9:1-6, (7-20), Psalm 30, Revelation 5:11-14, and John 21:1-19.
Acts 9:1-2 – Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Persecution seems to occur all too often between people of different faiths. Let's begin this week with prayers for peace between all people of faith.
Creator God, give us wisdom to understand our neighbors. Help us to see their differences as part of the creative tapestry that you have woven. Amen.

Devyaani thanks him and comes to meet Muskaan. Muskaan says I thought you will not come today. Devyaani says I came today, but I did not meet you. Muskaan says why. She says I can't tell you. Muskaan says I m going from here forever so I thought to meet you once. She says bye. Devyaani stops her and says take care. Muskaan says I don't know what happened between you and dad, but I know you are very nice.
Devyaani smiles. Muskaan leaves. Muskaan comes home and lies to her dad. Her dad understands that she met Devyaani. Devyaani thanks Bau ji and says I m very happy. Bau ji says I know its big day for you. He gives her sweets. Muskaan's dad gets emotional. Muskaan says sorry I did not wish to hurt you, so I lied, I went to meet mum. She says I wanted to talk to her. He says I know why you went.
He gets angry and says I want to save you from here, she is not good. Muskaan says she is not bad, she is very nice. Her dad is shocked. Akshara and Naitik come home from office. Naksh keeps warm clothes. Naitik says don't keep this, its not so cold. Naksh says my packing is not good right. Naitik says I will do your packing. Bhabhimaa jokes that Naksh is like Naitik. Devyaani tells Akshara that Muskaan told me nice and she does not hate me, she will talk to me and our relation won't end.
Akshara says Naman will also come soon. Devyaani is shocked to see her ex husband coming. Bau ji asks who are you. He says I m Suresh, Naman and Muskaan's dad. Everyone are shocked. Bhabhimaa welcomes him. Naitik asks Naksh to go to his room. Bhabhimaa asks what happened, is everything fine. Suresh says I m Devyaani's first husband. Bhabhimaa is shocked.
Naitik says we know but why did you come here. Suresh says to warn her again to not meet my children. He scolds Devyaani. Devyaani cries. Everyone are shocked. He says now you are married in such a big house, so take care of them and forget my children, stay away from them. Akshara asks how are you talking to her. Devyaani scolds him and asks him to keep her family away from this. Suresh says how dare you and is about to slap her. Bau ji stops him. Everyone is shocked. Naman and Muskaan see this.
Bau ji says how dare you slap my wife. He says you can't do this with my family. Naitik also scolds him. He says if you misbehave, we will not leave you. Akshara says you have threatened her asking her to not meet Muskaan, but we all are with her. Bau ji says we are with her. Suresh says stay away from my children. Devyaani says I did not……Suresh says I love them a lot, if you try to make them away from me, you don't know what I can do. Akshara says you are mistaken, you ask your children.
Suresh turns and is shocked to see Naman and Muskaan. Akshara asks Naman and Muskaan did Devyaani tell anything against their dad. She says tell him that we did not force you. Naman and Muskaan take Devyaani's side and leaves. Suresh is shocked. Akshara says you got your answer. Naitik asks him to leave. Devyaani cries. Bau ji pacifies her. He takes her to the room.
Ananya comes home with Shaurya. Naitik and Akshara talk to Bhabhimaa about Devyaani and says Bau ji came to know this yesterday. Bhabhimaa says I understand her problem. Varsha tells Shaurya we are lucky as we have everything set for us. Devyaani cries. Bau ji says now your children knows, don't worry, they will understand. Devyaani says I knew this would happen. Bau ji says you should tell us why you are afraid. She says you should have raised your voice against him.
Akshara says how can he slap Devyaani. Naitik says I regret that I slapped you once. Devyaani tells Bau ji that Suresh did not listen to her. Bau ji says you kept quiet and your children had to lose you in such a young age. Bau ji says they will think positive about you. Akshara says we should leave the decision to them.
Naitik tells Bau ji that Bhabhimaa's passport did not come.

According to an unpublished list that was revealed in some Swiss papers, Switzerland wants only five of around 120 bilateral treaties with the European Union to figure in a future institutional framework agreement.
A reportexternal link on foreign economic policy published on Wednesday stated that an institutional framework agreement would apply to those bilateral agreements that allow access to certain areas of the European Union's (EU) internal market. The Swiss want this to span five bilateral agreements: the free movement of persons, mutual recognition of conformity agreement, agricultural products, overland transport and civil aviation.
The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) was behind the selection of the list of bilateral agreements, which was revealed on Thursday by the papers Bund and Tages-Anzeiger. SECO confirmed the Swiss position and added that future agreements on access to the European market, such as the one on electricity, could be added if the deal was successful.
The list of bilateral treaties that make up the institutional framework agreement is of strategic importance. If Switzerland disagrees with a European Court of Justice ruling over a dispute, it might have to face compensation measures that could include suspension of bilateral treaties covered by the institutional framework agreement. Thus the Alpine nation could stand to lose access to important sectors of the EU market and it is in its own interest to minimise the damage of such an eventuality. The EU on the other hand, wants Switzerland to become more integrated into its internal market, laws and regulations and favours a overarching agreement over a patchwork of bilateral ones.Full story here Previous post See more for Next post

Adecco-Districom Court Case In France Group
Adecco-Districom court case in France
L'Oréal is confident in the decision of justice.
The strength of its ethics and its longstanding conviction that diversity is a cornerstone of its success.
Clichy, May 20th 2006 Respect for individuals is a principle that sits at the core of L'Oreal's culture.
At L'Oréal, we treat individual difference and diversity as a virtue and as a source of enrichment. We do not tolerate any form of racism or discrimination whatsoever.
Legal proceedings have been started with relation to occurrences that date back several years at a service provider that at that time was working, among others, with one of our subsidiaries based in France.
We are surprised to find ourselves implicated in this matter. All the more so, because for many years, we have been actively engaged in promoting diversity as part of all our activities; in particular, through the multi-ethnic brand, Garnier, which totally embodies this principle.
According to the information accessible to us, these allegations are completely unfounded.
During the nine hours of proceedings on Thursday May 18, L'Oréal, through its lawyers and the testimony of Laurent Dubois, managing director of Garnier at the time of the occurences, did not cease to reiterate its total commitment to diversity and its rejection of all forms of discrimination.
Laurent Dubois stated that his company never gave any instructions as to the ethnic origins of the persons that were hired: "I refute these allegations, which are not based on any concrete facts. This affair concerns a series of events by the Fructis Style brand, one of the first brands in France to have featured people of all ethnic origins in its advertsing campaigns. This is therefore not only contrary to our ethics, but would also have been counter-productive."
Yves Baudelot, the lawyer representing the Halde (High Authority for the fight against discrimination and for equality) said during his summing up: "The Halde found no objective fact that allows to affirm that Garnier gave instructions to Districom asking the brand not to hire people from ethnic minorities."
Mrs. Coulange, an employee of Districcom, affirmed during the proceedings that she had written the incrimating fax on her own initiative.
The verdict will be delivered on June 1st. L'Oréal is confident in the decision of justice. The strength of its ethics and its longstanding conviction that diversity is a cornerstone of its success.

Our 2018 craft and nature-inspired workshops held at our Nottinghamshire-based Rural Antics location started with a chicken!
Yes you read that correctly, our fabulous guests who attended our Willow Weaving workshop on Saturday, weaved themselves a wonderful chicken and bird feeder.
Everyone had a lovely time, chatting, drinking tea, eating cake and learning the art of working with willow. Having spent the morning session making a lovely cute bird feeder and getting to grips with the willow, they then set about making the body of their chicken.
Once they were well underway with this task they were treated to a well deserved, delicious 2 course homemade buffet lunch and a glass of local wine. Feeling even more relaxed, our group then wrapped up the afternoon drinking more tea, and finishing off their creation.
What a perfect way to spend your day – trying something new, being creative and being looked after!
Some of our guests loved their time with us so much they have booked further creative craft workshops with us. We are really looking forward to welcoming them back soon. Thank you to everyone who joined us and we hope your chicken takes pride of place in your garden this summer!
Join us at our next Willow Weaving Workshop and make a bird feeder and obelisk for your garden. Space is limited so book now!

Hop to It!
3 & ½ popcorns
By Michael S. Goldberger
film critic
The kids whooped and hollered in gleeful approval of director Will Gluck's adaptation of Beatrix's Potter's "Peter Rabbit." This even included the 10-to-12 contingent, usually too sophisticated to admit endorsement of an entertainment that might indict them of liking "baby stuff." And while the littler ones among the audience of fully engaged firstnighters whose space I recently invaded brought fingernails to lips whenever the title character risked cottontail and whiskers for ill-gotten vegetation, they, too, were otherwise charmed.
I was heartened by several insights, not the least of which was the erudition evinced by these young moviegoers to grasp the rather heady script Mr. Gluck and co-screen writer Rob Lieber reverently fashioned from Miss Potter's time honored classic. But the most satisfying takeaway shouldn't have come as a surprise. Judging by the alternate cheering and jeering in reflection of this animated adventure yarn that at its heart is a morality tale, I was gladdened by the apparently uncorrupted devotion to truth and ethics. It gave me hope for the future they might demand.
However, lest I give the false impression that this beautifully filmed mix of animation and blue screen magic is one part Hammurabi, two parts Solomon the Wise and several smidgens of Descartes, note that there's plenty that'd win the Marx Brothers's approval, too. While neatly enveloped by a love story about two humans who argue over the civil and property rights of the rabbits who lay claim to the rich bounty produced in mean Mr. McGregor's garden, this is a pretty wild, revolution-tinged free-for-all, with lots of action between smart meditations.
Interspersing the cutting-edge, filmic sorcery, reproductions of the original art work pleasantly temper Gluck's contemporization of the source material. This is where the battle line will be drawn, with purists saying the work should be presented unadulterated. So call me a Philistine. But I feel the same as I do about restomods, those classic cars that have been retrofitted with modern brakes, engines and A/C., making them functional in today's world. Of course it still behooves us to preserve examples of the original, whether in museums or private collection.
Continuing my argument, the analogous museum would be parents reading the bona fide Beatrix Potter to children at story time, while concurrently elucidating that the translation to cinema brings with it all the demands Marshall McLuhan said would intervene. It's quicker, faster, jibing with the apparent evolution of comprehension wrought by a digital insurgency that multitasks like nobody's business. The in-home tutorial in comparative mediums might even help put the kid to sleep.
In short, our analysis of how today's purveyors of Kiddie Lit and its silver screen spinoffs try to discern what children will find entertaining is in itself a valuable barometer of the times in which we live. Like the man said, "Out of the mouths of babes." Indeed, unvarnished young minds as yet uncompromised by the company line perceive truths and fallacies with stunning result. And like us, they enjoy seeing their impressions of the world corroborated in picture and word.
But putting all this bombastic, faux intellectualism aside, "Peter Rabbit" is a real hoot. So much so, in fact, that you may not want to pawn off moviegoing duties to Pop-Pop and Nanny in this episode of little Beau and Epiphany's pilgrimage to the Bijou. Auteur Gluck manages that rare feat in that he has fashioned a film that adults will like not just because the ragamuffins enjoy it while learning a lesson or two, but because it is witty on a grownup level as well. Plus, experiencing that smart 12-year-old of yours digging the hip satire is worth its weight in gold.
Anchoring the harebrained hijinks, intermeshing the human perspective with the lapin point of view, is the sweet love story, replete with a primer on compromise, sensitivity and the joyful woes attendant to the battle of the sexes. Inheriting the plant-rich McGregor estate after Old Man McGregor exits the picture under humorously dark circumstances, prim and decidedly OCD'ish Thomas McGregor, amusingly played by Domhnall Gleeson, has plans to cash in and open a toy shop in London. But what he didn't plan on is told in my next paragraph.
While love is generally welcome whether it hits you in the eye like a big pizza pie or is carefully arranged by Dolly Levi, I'm partial to the serendipity sort…neither party consciously looking for their emotional corruption and downfall, and mercilessly swept off their feet. It is thus obliging that living next door to where young McGregor will assume the family tradition of victimization by diabolical bunnies, is comely animal activist/artist and defender of rabbits, Bea, winsomely played by Rose Byrne. The typical but nonetheless whimsical courtship that ensues is the crowning touch that makes "Peter Rabbit" a 24 carrot affair.
"Peter Rabbit," rated PG, is a Columbia Pictures release directed by Will Gluck and stars James Corden (voice), Domhnall Gleeson and Rose Byrne. Running time: 93 minutes
