Of all of the brands we stock at Style Lyrical HQ, the Wyse cashmere jumpers are, by far, the most comfortable item we have in stock. When you slip on one of their simple, but funky, jumpers you're immediately drawn to the softness.
Marielle Wyse is the creative genius behind the brand. She has created stylish and affordable cashmere jumpers that you can throw in the washing machine. Her original designs and unique cuts make Wyse jumpers flatter every body shape. After working for the fashion department at Elle Magazine and for 5 years at BBC as a documentary maker, she turned to entrepreneurship and created Wyse London 2 years ago.
The goal was twofold: to create a product she would wear herself and to spend more time at home with her family. When she launched in November 2014, she had just six pieces, and none of it was plain or boring.
These jumpers may seem simple, but they are so much more! They are slightly unusual pieces that your friends aren't likely to have. There are tiny details making the jumpers classic, but individual. Sequins and leather elbow patches add a pop of individuality without sacrificing sophistication.
It doesn't matter if you use these gorgeous, cashmere jumpers to smarten up your favourite pair of jeans or dress it up to go on a date; this is the jumper that you'll find yourself living in on the weekends.
The Wyse collection has softer, earthy tones as well as bright, playful blocks to fit your unique personality. Each piece is slightly unusual, with a nod to fashion.
If you want something subtle with a soft outline, you can have it.
Love Breton but want something a little different? No problem.
Cashmere is a wardrobe staple. It's elegant and never goes out of style. Cashmere also says a lot about a woman. It says that she loves comfort, effortless mornings, and appreciates style.
Wyse's 'less is more' attitude is exactly what the busy woman needs filling her closet. It's not about being a slave to fashion – it's about wearing what works and feels right to you.
If you're starry-eyed for Wyse like we are, just mention these jumpers on your Style Consultation. Your personal stylist can make sure that you get one of these pieces in your next Style Box.

NASA's Juno spacecraft has only just completed its orbit around Jupiter, but Google was quickly on hand to celebrate in the only way it knows how.
After an arduous five-year journey to the planet, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced that Juno had made it safely into orbit around the gas giant.
The search engine, meanwhile, got to work with an animated Doodle showing a pixelated version of NASA's ground crew jumping up and down, as Juno beams back potentially crucial emoji from around our solar system's largest planet.
In a blog post, Google called the event an "incredible moment".
"In satellite terms, Juno is a warrior," it wrote. "NASA scientists equipped Juno with titanium shields to withstand pummeling rocks, powerful radiation, and freezing temperatures.
"Its armor will keep it safe and working properly over its year-long polar orbit collecting data about Jupiter."
So there you have it - we can now send spacecraft 500 million miles away while celebrating with colorful emoji and GIFs.

Funny thing
as an ordinary German I have not yet met any ordinary German supporting zu Guttenberg either before nor after his Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v episode. He seems to be a typical self-displaying politician with no idea how to lead his ministries but very quick on the CYA.
Exactly the kind drawn to public office who shouldn't be allowed near one.
His wife is very vocal in the "TOFTC - filter all web access" crowd and he is supporting her openly.

Bolivia's interim leader Jeanine Anez said Friday that exiled ex-president Evo Morales would have to "answer to justice" if he returns, as five of his supporters were killed in fierce clashes with security forces.
Morales resigned and fled to Mexico after losing the support of Bolivia's security forces following weeks of protests over his disputed re-election that has seen 15 people killed and more than 400 wounded.
"He knows he has to answer to justice. There is electoral crime. There are many allegations of corruption in his government," Anez told journalists in La Paz.
The former president has said he was willing to return to bring peace to Bolivia.
Five Morales supporters died Friday outside Cochabamba in central Bolivia, a political stronghold for the ex-president, as thousands of coca growers tried to reach the city to join a protest against Anez.
But they were blocked by police, who stopped them from crossing a bridge.
An AFP correspondent saw the bodies at a hospital, though authorities did not report any deaths in the clashes, only that 100 people were detained. Media reports said eight were wounded.
"This is a real massacre, it is a genocide, I deplore all these deaths," Evo Morales told CNN from Mexico.
The protesters carried "weapons, guns, Molotov cocktails, homemade bazookas and explosive devices," Cochabamba police commander Colonel Jamie Zurita said.
"They used dynamite and deadly weapons like the Mauser 765 (rifle). Neither the armed forces nor the police are equipped with such a caliber, I am worried," he said.
The crowd was dispersed after dark by riot police, with the support of the army and a helicopter.
- Diplomacy -
Despite its interim nature, the new government has proved ruthless towards Morales's left-wing allies.
Since proclaiming herself acting president on Tuesday, Anez's administration has set about breaking ties with socialist Cuba and Nicolas Maduro's Venezuela.
Anez's first foreign policy decision was to recognize Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country's president, joining a group of around 50 countries.
Foreign Minister Karen Longaric announced Friday that Venezuelan diplomats would be sent home for "violating diplomatic norms."
"All the diplomatic personnel representing Maduro at Venezuela's embassy in Bolivia will be allowed to leave the country for having interfered in internal state affairs," said Longaric.
Bolivia also fired all its ambassadors except those to Peru and the Vatican.
It is part of a concerted effort to reverse the last 13 years of foreign policy under former union leader Morales.
The government withdrew from two regional blocs -- ALBA and UNASUR -- made up of left-wing allies.
Christopher Sabatini, senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House, said Anez had her priorities wrong.
"Now is not the moment to weigh into the larger ideological battles in the region but to try to repair Bolivia's torn political and social consensus," said Sabatini, also a lecturer in the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University.
"Regional polarization played out on a national stage will only inflame divisions and make it more difficult to find a consensus exit to the polarized divisions in the country."
- Clashes -
In addition to the violence outside Cochabamba, there were smaller clashes between Morales supporters and security forces in La Paz on Friday, with protesters breaking down street barricades and fending off volleys of tear gas.
A group of mostly indigenous protesters had marched from El Alto to the seat of government in La Paz, which was protected by a police barricade.
Anez has come under fire for allegedly attacking the indigenous community in tweets that have since been deleted.
While the worst of those was found by AFP's fact-checking service to be a fake, in another Anez refers to Morales's Aymara community as "Satanists."
Questioned about these messages, Anez accused the Morales administration of using "digital warriors" to falsify Twitter accounts.
Anez, 52, was deputy senate speaker before taking over the top job to avoid a power vacuum -- a move endorsed by the Constitutional Court.
Those further up the political hierarchy had resigned along with Morales, leaving her as the highest ranking official in the country.
Protests have flared across Bolivia since Morales was declared the winner of the October 20 election, beating his nearest rival, centrist Carlos Mesa, by just enough to avoid a second round.
The Organization of American States recommended new elections after it found "irregularities that range from serious to indicative" in virtually every area they reviewed -- technology, the chain of custody of ballots, integrity of the count and statistical projections.

The pom poms, novelty wool and sparkly green foam were all sourced at Lincraft. We had the green tutu already in our dress up box but you could easily make it from scraps of green tule or find one online cheaply. Again, we already had a skin coloured pinkish t-shirt – this one was from Target.
- 1 green headband
- 1 packet of yellow pom poms
- 1 green tutu
- 1 sheet of sparkly green foam
- 1 novelty wool
- glue and safety pins.
- Wind the novelty wool around the green headband edge and glue in place. Leave to set overnight.
- Cut gum leaf shapes from the green foam. Glue a cluster of 3 yellow pom poms on to the top of each leaf. Leave to set overnight.
- Safety pin the top of each gum leaf onto the tutu.
- Tie your child's hair into a top knot or bun to look like the top of a gum nut.

HI Everyone,
Im new to this forum, id like to ask some questions about a topic which is rarely discussed on the internet. I bought a product of the internet from Mr Tom Lang who is well known in the hho circle
Apparently drinking water that has been bubbled with HHo gas is supposed to have many health benefits. So iv been trying it now for 3 months. It has definately made me feel more energetic, less tired etc.
The design of the cell is basic, made from a glass jar and plastic lid, plates are circular in diameter stainless steel grade 316.with about half an inch of space between them
Iv been using mineral water that does not contain chlorine in it, the minerals in the water are calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, bicarbonates, nitrates and sulphates with a ph of 7.8.
The minerals on there own produced gases with out the need for a catalyst.
A brown scum is left
Up unit recently i decided to add bicarbonate of soda, gas productivity increased, no brown scum. i charged the water (gases pumped into separate jar containing fresh mineral water) for about 2 hours as normal, except when i drank it got a headache and stomache ache and a slightly chalky taste?
Ok so firstly what is the brown scum, i heard its the minerals and dirt or is it toxins from the metal plates ie chromium?
Secondly does bicarbonate produce sodium hydroxide solution, co2 and co, if is there a possibilty that the sodium hydroxide solution could be evaporated with the gases intop the drinking water?
I was thinking of having some kind of liquid gas separator any ideas?
Thirdly the manual says you can mix bicarbonate of soda with potassium hydroxide, why is this?
Hope you guys can help thanks

Re: Drinking water infused with hho
Most electrolyzers do not produce HHO, but simply a mix of hydrogen and oxygen ions. Based on your design, this is what you are probably getting.
Mineral scum is usually white (called "soda"); the brown scum is probably from hydrocarbons in the water, particularly if the scum includes stuff like greasy blobs. Water, itself, is very dirty... even distilled water. It is not just the minerals, but everything else it has picked up from whatever is floating around in the environment--and much of that is biological, plants bits, fungi, yeasts, etc. This is actually one of the big problems with producing HHO gas--regular water is too contaminated to generate it.
The more contaminates you put in, the less HHO you will produce (it will be primarily hydrogen ions). Bicarbonate will react with hydrogen to give you the gasses and other things. It may make more bubbles, but they are not good bubbles.
You should include a "bubbler" in your design to eliminate the acids and bases that will be emitted as vapors in the gas before trying to run in into drinking water. The design is simple; take another jar that is half full of water. Stick the output of your electrolyzer in a tube that sticks down into the water of this jar so it bubbles up and out of the water. In the lid of the jar (needs a tight seal), put a second hose to pick up the bubbled gas. This makes for a MUCH cleaner output.
Because it increases conduction in the water to cause more if it to split into hydrogen and oxygen gas. It makes it look like it is doing more, but what you are getting is not HHO... just ions.
We've been doing a lot of work on HHO production but have not had much success so far, because environmental factors have gotten so bad. Water is heavily contaminated, not with just chemicals and biologics, but also invaded by RF emissions from all the wi-fi everywhere. This makes finding resonant points to produce HHO (Browns gas) nearly impossible, since it constantly shifts. Been looking for ways to "clean up" the water first, along the lines of Viktor Schauberger research, but still in progress.
Every dogma has its day...

Well, it's been a few weeks since the 1st of the year, so of course most of us are either dreading or hoping for the question: "How are you doing with your New Year's resolution?" Today, I'm excited to report on one of mine!
At Phase2, we made a New Year's resolution for community management around our products: to increase the amount of documentation we have for OpenPublic, OpenPublish, and Open Atrium. In November and December, we added documentation on section fronts and boxes for OpenPublish and provided information on our Omega-based responsive design themes in both OpenPublic and OpenPublish.
While I'm pleased that we have increased the amount of information available about our products, we want to work hard this year to add more to what we already have. I have taken both the suggestions I have received from the community as well as used my knowledge of what is in each product to create a plan of what documentation we should add. And thanks to members in the community, some of this documentation has already been written!
We will add the following documentation for OpenPublic:
- Introduction to OpenPublic
- Documenting the inclusion of security standards (functionality coming soon!)
- How to add a media gallery node in OpenPublic content
- Detailed overview of apps that are included in OpenPublic and how to configure them
- List of Features specific to OpenPublic
- Accessibility in OpenPublic
- Upgrade path
We will add the following documentation for OpenPublish:
- Product tour
- Explanation of users and pre-defined roles
- How to configure your site using OpenPublish
- More details about content
- Content types
- Images
- Multimedia Content
- Relating Content
- Features specific to OpenPublish
- Detailing site structure and sections
- Themes and Regions
- Taxonomy Basics
- Translation
- FAQs
- Detailed overview of apps that are included in OpenPublish and how to configure them
- Documenting our new magazine theme (theme coming soon!)
We will add the following documentation for Open Atrium:
- How to set up content for anonymous users
- Limiting the number of items in the Recent Activity feed
- How to hide a default page in the notebook
- Creating a new content type for a calendar
- Preventing iCal imports from duplicating
- Theming
- Translation
- Adding icons
- Creating minisites using Atrium
While it looks like a lot, I know we can get it done! We have had several community members contribute to our documentation already and, as you know, I always encourage you to get involved! We have a documentation wiki for OpenPublish and a documentation wiki for OpenPublic. All you have to do is visit the wiki, sign up for an account if you don't have one already, and you can start creating and editing pages.; We also have our community.openatrium.com site that allows you to create and edit pages once you have a log in. Additionally, if you have other ideas, please feel free to share them in the OpenPublic Drupal.org group, the OpenPublish Drupal.org group, or on community.openatrium.com
I look forward to a year when I can say that I have met my New Year's resolution! I can't wait to work with all of you to make it possible!

Residents will get their first chance today to see and question the overall plan for school buildings and curriculum.
Residents will get their first chance today to see and question the overall plan for school buildings and curriculum.
The school district will host a forum at 6 p.m. at Windham Middle School to share its 10-year Facilities Master Plan, existing curriculum choices and the potential for future curriculum options. Those who attend can ask questions during the forum.
While the Board of Education has the final say on curriculum decisions for the schools, it will be up to the voters to determine whether the facilities master plan gets done.
"What we want to make sure gets done is that we coordinate our facilities master plan with our curriculum decisions," Board of Education Chairman Murphy Sewall said at a recent meeting.
The board must juggle the demands of the Strategic Operating Plan it implemented last year with the financial constraints of the town. The Facilities Master Plan is a 10-year, three-phase effort with a price tag of $176.2 million, $50.1 million of which would need to be paid by Windham.
Rob Roche, of Friar Associates, the firm that worked with the district, Tracey Lambert, the chairman of the school board's School Planning and Design Committee, and Superintendent Ana Ortiz will make the presentations at the community forum.
The forum will also include a timeline of renovation projects, two of which have been pulled out of the master plan because of need. The town has already approved the repair of the Natchaug Elementary School roof and the school board is moving forward with a request to repair the roof of Windham High School, which sprang several leaks this school year.
Board of Education Member Luz Osuba has promoted the idea of a forum like this several times.
"We need to keep the parents informed," Osuba said recently.

Inspections and Monitoring: The Weak Link in the Iran Nuclear Deal
Published on Sep 26, 2017 by TheJerusalemCenter YouTube channel – See more Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs Diplomatic Dispatch videos here.
Over the last number of weeks, the great debate over Iran has focused on whether Iran is complying with the JCPOA from 2015. Is it keeping the Iran agreement or is it violating the Iran agreement. Frankly, this story and that question have been put to rest when the national security adviser of the United States, General McMaster, said on Fox News that in fact the Iranians have already violated parts of the agreement.
So then the question is: Does that mean that President Trump will not certify Iran. There's a point here which is not really well understood by many people. The question of certifying Iran or not certifying Iran, which the president will be called to do in mid-October, is not an issue of treaty compliance. It's whether certain specific standards set by the U.S. Congress not long after the agreement was concluded are being met.
As far as I'm concerned, one of the most important of these standards set by the U.S. Congress is whether there are no covert Iranian activities going on in the nuclear field. The Iran agreement gives the P5+1, it gives the IAEA – the International Atomic Energy Agency, in particular – access to certain declared facilities. But what's increasingly coming to the attention of the public is that the agreement doesn't adequately address the question of undeclared sites. It's as though the negotiators forgot some famous names: Natanz – the main enrichment site of Iran; Arak – where the Iranians have their heavy-water facility which will allow them the pathway to a plutonium bomb; and the famous underground site at Fordo near Qom where the Iranians have another enrichment facility for their uranium.
What has to be remembered, and maybe should have been remembered, is that all these sites that were eventually disclosed were all secret, undeclared sites. If the Iranians are ever going to break through to a nuclear bomb, they're going to do it in those kind of secret sites that eventually the West discovered over the last 20 years, and not through some declared facility that was put into the JCPOA.
All this is particularly important because if we go back to 2015, Secretary of State John Kerry was asked by The Times of Israel about the verification procedures in the agreement. And he said that according to the Iran agreement, Iran will be subjected to the most rigorous and demanding verification and monitoring regime ever negotiated for a nuclear agreement. Is that so? The head of the Atomic Energy organization of Iran, Ali Akbar Salehi, has insisted that the requirement put forward by American spokesmen that Iran's military sites be inspected is unacceptable.
Indeed, Dr. Olli Heinonen, a former deputy director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, wrote in September in an FDD policy brief that he has information from an IAEA staff member that the agency has not conducted a single visit to suspected military sites in Iran. They're off the table. In fact, the whole arrangement for inspections and monitoring is the weak link in the Iranian nuclear deal. I'm afraid we're reaching the conclusion that Iran can continue with secret activities that will allow it to reach nuclear breakout sooner than later.

Ever since we moved to the DFW metroplex area, I've experienced an onslaught of creepy crawly creatures in my daily life. The first day we visited Sam's school, the town had a grasshopper infestation and the school was full of them. These things were the size of tootsie rolls, and not the fun-size kind. I could barely walk outside, and I looked like I was picking my way across a minefield. So embarrassing.
I have a problem with bugs. Most girls do. Too many legs, not enough fluffy fur. I am especially terrified of flying bugs. I much prefer bugs to stay on the ground. Of course, statistics like those featured in this video by National Public Radio don't put my mind at ease:
At any given moment, there are three billion bugs flying around in our atmosphere. I know what you're thinking. "But Callie, that's not so bad. There's more than 3 billion people in the United States alone." Oh, no. The three billion bugs applies to a .6 square mile column of land and atmosphere. So, if you drew out a .6 square mile on the earth and put up a 20,000 foot fence, within that fence would be 3 billion bugs.
Yeah, it's gross, I know.
The number one flying bug I hate: moths. I find them absolutely terrifying in every single way. Have you ever seen a close-up of a moth? They want your soul on a plate. Sam loves to tell the story of the time I almost got us in a car wreck because I was screaming about a moth in the car. Imagine my horror at Friday night football games in small-town Texas, when the only light around for miles are the stadium lights:
Unlike most girls, I even hate butterflies. But, you know, I can respect bugs. When they're outside, it's their turf. I get it. They are God's creatures and have their right to a place in the world. That place is not my house.
Our apartment has been under siege over the past few weeks. I don't know if it's the change of weather or if this is just normal for this area of the state, but I've been carrying this spray can with me everywhere:
One particularly horrifying morning involved waking up to see a couple of cookies Sam had left on the counter the night before walking away. A hoard of ants had taken over our apartment overnight, and they were all over our kitchen crawling in our sink and cabinets. I cried. It was so scary. I can never again watch "A Bug's Life" and root for the ants (but I can't root for the grasshoppers, either… hmm…). You can view the extremely disturbing picture here.
I've battled hornets the size of Hot Wheels cars. I attacked a dime-sized spider who retreated into the depths of Sam's Xbox. But, when I don't have my spray, I am a damsel in distress and Sam is my knight in shining armor, prepared to smash crickets (the crickets here have wings and can fly… they go straight for the face), destroy roaches, and crush flies like the warrior he is.
Now, if a hoard of pandas was invading my house, that would be amazing. Hoards of bugs, not so much.
That is why I feel compelled to write a letter to the makers of Cracker Jack. Last night at the football game, Sam gave a bag of Cracker Jack to snack on, and of course I went straight for the prize:
Oh, bitter irony. They gave me a pencil topper with ants crawling on it.
So, beware all you creepy crawlies out there. I am armed.
Beware, man-killing bugs. I have a bug-killing man.

I am an avid gardener, and I love the idea of urban agriculture. Because I like to know where my food comes, I figure the best way is grow it myself! It is so much fun planting seeds and watching them grow and produce fruit. While I would like to have a huge vegetable garden and fruit trees I am limited by space in my suburban setting. I still have plenty of room to grow vegetables to supplement my meals.
Luckily I live in California and can grow vegetables year round. Here are some examples of seasonal vegetables I've tried in my 4'x10′ plot in Davis, California.
Spring: arugula, basil, parsley, cilantro, chard, lettuce
Summer: tomatoes, eggplant, green beans, cucumbers (japanese and lemon), edamame, chili peppers, zucchini
Fall: chard, spinach, lettuce, leeks
Winter: kale, chard, celery, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, arugula, bok choy
I was pleasantly suprised by how well everything grew. The only failures thus far have been carrots and onions.
I highly recommend starting a small garden, even if you are limited by space. As long as you have a tiny space (think planter box) and some sun, you'd be surprised what you can grow. Of course the variety is limited by geographic region. Check out this seasonal vegetable calendar for ideas.

Bible Belt Would Be Better Without God
A Christian writer at On Faith thinks the Bible Belt would be so much better without all that God stuff or something. Newsbusters has the story:
It seems when John Lennon sang "Imagine" (aka. The Worst Song of All Time) he was talking about ... Denmark. That must be the point of a curious piece on The Washington Post's ever-more ironically named "On Faith" blog.Continue reading>>>
In an article titled "One nation Under God and a lot of stress," Alyce M. McKenzie, professor of homiletics at the Perkins School of Theology, was quite taken with her son's description of life in Copenhagen, where he'd studied for a semester. She furnished a laundry list of admirable aspects of Danish society - mostly the usual stuff American liberals cite to illustrate Europe's superiority:

I know that we can create dependencies, hostgroups, servicegroups etc..
I just wonder if there is a plan to one day run discovery of the whole local network, and system would automaticaly generate device dependencies.
I just stumbled upon spiceworks, because I wanted to know, on which switch one device was connected, so I can create correct dependencies.
I think this structure was built with heavy usage of snmp.
Is it (or will it ever be) possible (with snmpwalk, or nmap), to figure out, to which switch is a host connected?

Jean Nouvel's Monad Terrace expected to break ground shortly in Miami Beach
Monad Terrace is expected to break ground by the end of January, Curbed has learned, with the highly anticipated Jean Nouvel development also opening its sales gallery to the public on a similar timeframe.
Located off Monad Terrace and West Avenue in Miami Beach, directly south of the Waverly (14th Street), the luxury waterfront development is unique in that it was designed with Climate Change and rising sea levels at the forefront, as we learned in the announcement last February.
Its "Reflection Machine," a giant lagoon of sorts at the heart of the complex, is designed to invite the rising waters of Biscayne Bay and is capable of withstanding the heavy flooding that typically devours waterfront developments on West Avenue. The project will be comprised of 59 residences, ranging from two to five bedrooms and starting at $1.7 million.
Developed by JDS Development Group with Kobi Karp as the architect, the construction site is prepped and ready for the one-of-a-kind project to ascend.
New renderings have also been released, showcasing a signature feature of the Nouvel-designed residences: honeycomb glass, which makes up the sawtooth façade while protecting privacy in addition to providing shade from glare and heat (the view changes depending on your angle).

The war of words turned out to be fierce enough for all sides to forget about the main topic: the decrease in Russian arrivals and thus in the revenue of the Thai tourism industry.
According to Kasikorn Research Center in 2014 Thailand will see 1.65 million visitors from Russia – 5.5 per cent down from 1.75 million last year. Is this a scary figure for the industry?
The answer is yes and no. The drop alone is not dramatic. But things are not looking bright if what we see is just a beginning of a long-term negative trend. So let us have a closer look at the figures and the factors behind them.
Both Russian and Thai state agencies have already admitted that 2014 is a tough year for Thai tourism. Political disturbances followed by martial law, the coup and curfew hit the arrivals greatly.
Most significantly, all those events took place during the high season from November to May. And the 5.5 per cent drop in Russian arrivals can be explained by the consequences of the negative factors listed above.
Russian tour companies were strongly advised by the Russian authorities to cancel or limit trips to Bangkok and that affected the figures. At the same time Phuket benefited from all the disturbance simply because companies and their clients switched to this destination instead of places perceived as risky.
So 5.5 per cent is a reasonable drop nationwide. In Phuket the drop was less than the national one so now it is time to regain the losses with the new high season coming and the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) guaranteeing safety.
Taking all these observations into account the future of Phuket tourism looks bright.
There remains, however, a list of Russian "domestic" factors that Thai authorities have no way of influencing.
This year Russian authorities started promoting domestic tourism, notably at Sochi (with its Olympic facilities) and Crimea (desperately needing to replace lost Ukrainian tourist arrivals). Both resorts can hardly be listed among Thailand's competitors in the November-to-May season (most of it winter in these places), but have been able to replace it in case of urgent need.
Russia's economy has been badly hit by the consequences of the Ukrainian conflict and the sanctions imposed by the USA and EU. The Russian currency has dropped significantly against both the USD and the Euro -- and the Thai baht. It is widely recognised that leisure and travel expenses are among the first to be cut when people need to save money.
The wave of bankruptcies among Russian tour companies has made people less confident about their safety wile travelling abroad (let alone the negative effect for the industry proper).
A new tax on international flights is being currently discussed in Russia. If accepted it will significantly increase the cost of a vacation in Thailand, thus making domestic destinations more attractive.
Another proposal being discussed presupposes compensation of up to 50 per cent of travel expenses for those choosing domestic resorts. And if these two drafts are accepted as law it will definitely effect international tourism.
None of the five factors alone can threaten Thailand. Separately they are harmless and could not even result in another 5.5 per cent drop. But if combined, they could cause real problems for Thailand.
Just a simple example: Nowadays it is cheaper for a person from Siberia to fly to Thailand than to Sochi. But if overall incomes go down, international flight costs climb and government compensation become real, the possibility of taking advantage of government support and spending Christmas in Russia becomes a definite threat to Thailand. Though not this season, one hopes.

The photo above is from the 'Commons' free images of the Celsus Library 117 AD in ancient Ephesus, a gift of love to honour his late father, Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, Roman Senator of the Province of Asia, from his son Gaius Julius Aquila.
It was probably the Apostle Paul who writes the book of Ephesians in 70-80 AD as a beautiful Hebrew style poem about how God has chosen to bless his covenant people. In Jesus, Messiah, now everyone can join that family and find that grace.
After the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem twice in 597 BC and again in 70 AD and the subsequent exile of the Israelites, rabbis had to translate the texts of the Jewish Scriptures as they read. Few understood Hebrew then. The rabbis also updated the text into current contemporary idioms and contexts. These non-literal translations were called targums.
Below are my two different attempts to follow this practice using a text from Ephesians 3 on God's love – to celebrate St. Valentine's Day week. The first one is my wild artist effort to be outside of the box after watching the 61stGrammy Awards, the second, a calmer version for the more studious among us. Which do you prefer?
Targum #1
Whether God is a black woman like in "The Shack"
Or Jesus of Nazareth, the embodiment of
Old Testament wisdom literature

A whole series of courses in real practical
Wisdom, in fact the cosmic wisdom God wants us

To end up with an A+ doctorate degree
In powerful world leaders and spiritual
Gurus and demons destroying type
Of Matrix surprising power
We have a personal Benefactor
A Patron who has paid for us to
Achieve success
All we have to do is register
And stick with the program
Out of love for our Handmaker
In these individualized 2.0 programs
For kindness ME to WE work
We can contact the Handmaker's
Helpdesk 24/7

To create landscapes and portraits
Sculptures and installations

Program we are in
In fact, in the Wisdom art school
We find ourselves, by faith beloved
The painting, the Hand-pulled
Original print
The sculptures ourselves
The handmade Spirit-living art
Donated to gallery visitors
Installed in the Grand Grammy Awards
Art Show.
Targum #2
- God did this as part of his forever plan. Thank you to Jesus for this in all he did on the Cross.
- As a result, Jesus allows us the chutzpah to come closer to God trusting.
- Please do not be down when you see me having a hard time on your behalf. Others will see and give you perks.
- I fold my body before Abba.
- The One whose vast array of creatures owe him life.
- God is awesome and magnificent. I offer you to God for powerful modelling.
- And so Christ will hang out with you and in you trust. Stay there grounded in deep affection and don't run off.
- I lay you and all Jesus mentees in his imagination to see the great dimensions of this affection.
- This care is actually immeasurable in its excellence and scope. Then all that you are will be God-coloured.
- I ask God to make our New Covenant community do God justice in word and deed fulfilling God's blueprint for humanity and showing the very nature of God to all.
- God is capable of doing in us more than we can request of dream up. May it be so.

It's the Model, Genius
If you're one of those people who hate it when someone gives away the ending to a suspenseful book or movie before you get a chance to read it or watch it, don't read any further. OK, good, we got rid of three well-disciplined readers. For the rest of you, here's a hint: We already know who will be the next president of the United States.
As it turns out, the two-man presidential horse race that just got underway in early June when Hillary Clinton bowed out – the race for the White House pitting John McCain against Barack Obama – is over. Yeah, I know the election isn't until November, the polls have been all over the place, and the two presidential ponies are just now heading into the first turn, but trust me, this race is over.
The reason we know it's over is because Allan Lichtman's mathematical model says it's over. Lichtman, a professor at The American University in Washington,D.C., is a "quantitative historian" who has developed 13 keys to presidential elections; turn enough keys your way and you open the door to the White House. It's the numbers, stupid. Lichtman even wrote a book about it entitled, "The Keys to the White House." Unlike the talking heads on Sunday morning TV, Lichtman's predictions are based on solid statistical evidence. He's hardly ever wrong.
And even when he's wrong, he's technically right. In 2000, Lichtman's mathematical model predicted that Al Gore would win the popular vote for president, and sure enough, Gore did just that. One small problem: George Bush prevailed in the Electoral College, and thus became the 43rd president of the United States. So we must add this caveat: As good as it is at predicting the top presidential vote-getter nationally, Lichtman's model is no match for the nuances of the Electoral College.
Doug Samuelson, a statistician by heart, a principal decision scientist for Serco in Vienna, Va., by trade and a seasoned political railbird by choice (he's worked on a couple of congressional campaigns), recently interviewed Lichtman while researching this issue's cover story.
If you've gotten this far, we know you don't mind hearing the punch line before you hear the joke, but it just wouldn't be right to give away the winner of the 2008 presidential race several months before the election. For that, you'll have to read Samuelson's article beginning on page 16.

Having tattoos on any parts of your body is no big deal but that practice is often frowned on in this part of the world.
There is serious misconception and often people with tattoos are regularly referred to as gangsters.
Andrew, one half of the Hiplife duo, Keche who has about 25 tattoos thinks otherwise.
"I have in a few instances encounter people who see you different because you have tattoos. I am an artist and I really appreciate artistic creations; to me tattoos are nothing but a form of inspiration in a way of appreciating art.''
"Aside art, tattoos are a way of showing loyalty to things that really mean the world to you. Lest we forget tattoos have been around for centuries and have served different purposes. So it is very important to understand why someone inks rather than automatically judge them.''
To him, the three most important tattoos on his body is the daughter's name, the group name Keche and an eagle.
''These three mean a lot to me, my daughter's name (Giovanna) reminds me of that responsible role I have to play each day as a proud father. I decided to tattoo KECHE cos the group is our legacy. We've been through a lot and anytime I look at it puts a smile on my face. For the eagle, it represents my ambitions, the eagle is always flying high and that's exactly what i'm aiming for.''
Rounding up our chitchat, Andrew hinted there is the possibility he might be spotted with new tattoos.
''Why not, if the need arises for me to ink more I will. I will always love art but to the youth my little advice is, fully understand the concept of tattoos before you ink so you don't feel guilty later. It's more like a commitment to your girlfriend,'' he concluded with a smile.

Life has returned to normal in the Ashbury household. Well, as normal as we ever get, at any rate. My beloved is back at work, the cat has forgiven me for leaving her with my daughter, the evil diet-meister, and the dog is once more content in the daily presence of his deity, the daddy of the house.
This week, I have a few more days to myself before routine returns full force with my grandchildren sleeping over a few times a week, and my getting them up and ready for school in the morning.
They're good kids, and not difficult to manage at all. They seem, for the most part, a lot more amenable than my own children ever were. For the record, I think their mother—our 'second daughter' who was our late son's former fiancée—has done an excellent job in raising them.
As I reported to you at the beginning of the year, I never make New Year's resolutions, per se. I do, however, constantly seek to "do a better job" of everything in my life. And nowhere is that a more pressing need than in the area of time management.
I have to try and learn how to make better use of my time. But the older I get, the faster time seems to go. I try, I really do, but more often than not I'm left at the end of the day wondering if I'd been abducted by aliens, who then went ahead and sucked two or three hours of precious time out of my schedule, and my conscious mind.
I think in many ways, I defy definition. In some areas and about some things I am so anal that my family is left shaking their heads in my wake. In case you ever wondered, let me set the record straight right here and now. Yes, there really is only one way to: fold towels, put away clothing, make the bed, set the table, make out a grocery list, prepare juice from frozen concentrate, and vacuum the living room carpet.
But about other things? Holy chaos, Batman, you should see my office! You'd think I had never heard of the word, 'organization'. I have all manner of pieces of whatever under my monitor, around my keyboard, and beside and on top of my printer. My desk drawers would give pause to the most dedicated tidier, and my shoes and slippers can be found all over the darned house.
One of the areas where I am very 'sanguine' is in my (nearly non-existent) time management skills. It's an effort for me to stay on track each day, to keep my mind focused on what I want to accomplish, because at times I can be so very easily distracted.
I know that I'd be better served if I got myself one of those nifty little word processor machines my good friend Lara Santiago has. That way, I could write without easy access to the Internet, and all those wonderful and fun time-sucking ways of being distracted.
Alas, I'm weak.
I know the secret for me lies in my own ability to employ some good, old fashioned self-discipline. And as each day dawns, I fully intend to do just that.
Some days, I do a pretty good job of it, too.
And then we have the other five days of the week.
Just today, as I was composing this essay, I had a bizarre thought. Do you suppose I could be looking at this situation all wrong? Could it be that this fluctuating, nose-to-the-grindstone one day and devil-may-care frittering away of minutes the next might actually, when the two are melded together, simply be my process? We all know that each writer's process is unique unto them. Could that possibly be it?
Sigh. No, I didn't really think so, either. I guess I'm just going to have to try harder.

So You Think You Can Dance Season 7 Top 6 Performance Recap
So You Think You Can Dance Rundown: The Top 6 Compete
So You Think You Can Dance Rundown: The Top 6 Compete
So You Think You Can Dance's 150th show brought a few surprises this week — namely friendly guest judge Kenny Ortega (you know, the man behind MJ's final "This Is It" tour) and another injury.
Like last week, the contestants danced with all-stars and with each other. Billy Bell, who hurt himself and was cleared to dance but didn't feel up to it, sat on the sidelines for the evening and will be in the bottom three tomorrow night. So, instead of six contestants, we actually saw five and got an extra serving of all-star tWitch. On that note, let's judge the performances and vote on who's safe and who may be in danger.

Review by Iris Carden
Sammy's day begins in a manner that would seem strange for most people, but it's only once he's arrested that his day becomes truly weird by his own standards.
After an explosive jail-break, a mad chase by chainsaw-wielding maniacs, and meeting a beautiful girl, Sammy is running for his life and still doesn't know why.
Troy Blackford adds more and more pressure on both his protagonist and his reader, as one improbable and confusing event after another ultimately leads up to..... well, I'm not going to tell you that.
It's a good story. You should read it.

the same one Anet, but since before editing I posted "one of the Henrik Malyans great movies" and I wasnt sure, thats why I edited not from Malyan, I dont think its his movie, I checked all his works and Tgamartik wasnt there.
And speaking of the movie, I just want to mention a scene, where they both (tghamartik) showed up in front of Armen Gigarxanyans door, and the singing and the faces, the expressions on them, half shaven men, etc.......

First of all - there is nothing wrong with your computer - you did see coconut cupcakes yesterday. Secondly, although it wouldn't be totally out of the question - I did not forget to post a new recipe this morning. This is coconut cupcake post - day 2!
Why you ask? After baking my first batch of coconut cupcakes, I felt like there was still room for improvement. I loved the coconut buttercream - so I didn't even try and make any changes to that but I didn't like the way that the cupcakes sunk in the middle after I pulled them out of the oven.
So here I am - the hopeless perfectionist. I simply cannot let a not-quite-perfect cupcake recipe linger on the blog without trying to correct the problem. Fortunately for me, recipe number two worked like a charm. The cake was light and fluffy and didn't sink in the middle as it cooled. The secret - condensed coconut milk.
Coconut Cupcakes
Reduced coconut milk:
- 2 13-to 14-ounce cans unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- Seeds scraped from 1 split vanilla bean or 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup reduced coconut milk (see above), room temperature
For reduced coconut milk:
Bring coconut milk to boil in large deep saucepan over medium-high heat (coconut milk will boil up high in pan). Reduce heat to medium low; boil until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat; cool completely. Transfer to small bowl. Cover; chill (coconut milk will settle slightly as it cools).
For cupcakes:
Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line eighteen 1/3-cup muffin cups with paper liners. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl.
Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until smooth. Add sugar; beat on medium-high speed until well blended, about 2 minutes.
Add 2 eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Beat in seeds from vanilla bean and remaining egg.
Add half of flour mixture; mix on low speed just until blended. Add 1 cup reduced coconut milk; mix just until blended. Add remaining flour mixture; mix on low speed just until blended.
Divide batter among muffin cups.
Bake cupcakes until tops spring back when gently touched and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer cupcakes in pans to rack; cool 10 minutes. Carefully remove cupcakes from pans and cool completely on rack.
Frost with coconut buttercream.
Sprinkle shredded coconut over buttercream.
Coconut cupcakes really are easy to bake - IF you have the right recipe. I love the combination of today's cake recipe (compliments of Epicurious.com) and yesterdays buttercream recipe.

It's great news that the incidence of tooth decay has significantly diminished over the years due to the use of fluorides and an increase in patient awareness. However, teeth are still susceptible to decay, infection, and breakage and sometimes need to be restored back to health. Through improved techniques and modern technology, we are now able to offer more options for restoring a tooth back to its normal shape, appearance and function.
Should your teeth ever require a restorative treatment, you can rest assured knowing we will always discuss with you the available options, and recommend what we believe to be the most comfortable and least invasive treatment. Providing you with excellent care is our number one priority when creating your beautiful smile.
Remember to give your teeth the attention they need today!
Dr Hahn and his staff are the best. I would never let any other dentist work on my teeth except him! His staff is the best. On a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being the best, I give them a 25. Yes they are that good!
Brian G.
I have been going to Dr. Hahn for several years and he always takes the time to explain procedures, options, and is always ready to engage in chit chat. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

In this Criminal action, Defendant-appellant was charged with multiple petty offenses. None carries a maximum term of incarceration greater than six months upon conviction when prosecuted individually.
A New York Criminal attorney said that Defendant was originally charged, under two separate informations, with multiple misdemeanors and lesser offenses relating to two altercations with his wife. By the time of the trial, the charges remaining on the first information were attempted criminal mischief in the fourth degree and menacing.
These are classified as class B misdemeanor carrying maximum authorized jail sentences of three months. The charges in the second information were reduced to three class B misdemeanors, attempted third degree assault, attempted fourth degree criminal mischief, and attempted second degree criminal contempt, in addition to a single count of harassment. The latter is a violation punishable by a maximum sentence of 15 days and the others, as class B misdemeanors, are punishable by a maximum sentence of up to three months. Upon motion by the People, the informations were consolidated for trial.
The Criminal Court rejected defendant's demand for a jury trial. Relying on a case law, it concluded that a jury trial is not constitutionally mandated when the maximum statutory sentence for a petty charge does not exceed six months. Furthermore, the court noted that CPL 340.40(2) requires a trial before a Judge where no one charge carries an authorized sentence of more than six months. The court reasoned that because the two informations here involved entirely separate incidents which occurred on different dates, there was no constitutional authority or precedent requiring a jury trial.
The Appellate Term held that each count was a "petty" offense within the meaning of the Sixth Amendment and, thus, not triable by jury if prosecuted individually. The court found unavailing defendant's argument that a jury trial was required because he could have been sentenced to an aggregate jail term in excess of six months had he been convicted of more than one of the petty offenses joined under the consolidation.
The court reasoned that "[t]he central point of inquiry in determining whether a jury trial is required is the seriousness of the offense with which the defendant is charged, and not the sheer number of accumulated offenses tried on a given day or on a given accusatory instrument". Furthermore, the court noted that "[t]he administrative convenience of litigating these multiple charges in one trial did not serve to enhance the ultimate risk faced by the defendant or to somehow transform the 'petty' offenses alleged to the level of a 'serious' crime"
Finally, the court stated that "the widespread application of rule in our already overburdened criminal justice system would only serve to 'overwhelm the courts and prosecutors by consuming large amounts of time for selecting juries and would cause unmanageable delays' "
Defendant argues that, when a defendant is charged with multiple petty offenses in a joined prosecution, carrying a potential aggregate sentence greater than six months' imprisonment, both the New York and United States Constitutions mandate that the defendant be afforded a jury trial. Defendant urges this Court to adopt the "aggregate-sentence approach" for determining the constitutional right to a jury trial.
The Court rejected defendant's arguments and agree with the Appellate Term that the determination as to whether a defendant is constitutionally entitled to a jury trial hinges on the seriousness of the offense, not the potential aggregate sentence for a series of petty offenses that may be consolidated for trial.
It is well settled that offenses carrying a maximum statutory term of imprisonment of greater than six months are "serious" offenses for which the New York and United States Constitutions unquestionably afford defendants the right to a jury trial. Equally settled is the proposition that offenses carrying sentences of less than six months are "petty" offenses, to which no right to a jury trial attaches. Courts are required to examine each offense in a prosecution individually and separately, to determine whether the Legislature has ascribed a serious level classification fixed by the measurement of whether any of the individual offenses carry a potential maximum sentence of greater than six months. When a court determines that none does, the defendant is not constitutionally entitled to a jury trial.
In a case, defendants were charged with multiple counts of prostitution. They challenged the constitutionality of CPL 340.40(2), which mandates that crimes punishable by imprisonment of six months or less be heard before a Judge. The Court concluded that the statute did not violate the Sixth Amendment. The Court reasoned that the misdemeanors, each punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of three months, were "petty" offenses within the meaning of the Sixth Amendment to which there is no right to a jury trial. The Court stated that "[a]lthough earlier cases may have considered various factors of a crime [citations omitted], recent Supreme Court decisions have emphasized the length of sentence to the exclusion of virtually everything else". Our Court further stressed that "[t]he penalty is deemed of major relevance, a gauge of the locality's social and ethical judgments on the heinousness of the offense".
At one point in time, this Court had even held the view that sex crimes for which the maximum punishment was not greater than one year of imprisonment were not afforded the constitutional guarantee of a jury trial. "the overburdening caseload existing in the criminal courts of the highly populated City of New York [gave] rise to extraordinary and unique circumstances" which provided a reasonable basis for refusing to permit "the more time-consuming trial by jury of misdemeanors"
The United States Supreme Court rejected that temporal extension of the operating principle and has consistently held that defendants charged with petty offenses, defined as those carrying maximum statutory prison terms of less than six months, are not entitled to a jury trial.
In a significant recent development and instruction to our jurisprudence, the Supreme Court answered the question now posed to us from the perspective of the United States Constitution. There, the defendant was charged with two counts of Federal mail obstruction, each carrying a maximum six-month prison term. The Supreme Court reiterated that the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of a jury trial is reserved for the prosecution of serious crimes–those carrying a maximum prison term of greater than six months. It held that the compulsory availability of that right is not implicated when a defendant faces a potential aggregate sentence in excess of six months by virtue of being charged with multiple petty offenses in a consolidated proceeding. The Supreme Court stated that "[t]he fact that the petitioner was charged with two counts of a petty offense does not revise the legislative judgment as to the gravity of that particular offense, nor does it transform the petty offense into a serious one, to which the jury-trial right would apply". Domestic violence was not discussed.
The Court is satisfied that the inescapably interrelated history and development of this Court's and the United States Supreme Court's rulings on the right to a jury trial for prosecution of petty offenses dictates an affirmance of the criminal rulings of the courts below. No persuasive justification is presented for us to adopt defendant's contention that prosecution of consolidated petty offenses, with a potential aggregate sentence in excess of six months, adds up to a constitutionally compelled right to a jury trial. Multiple petty crimes remain "petty" by legislative classification and their nature, and are not transformed by their sheer number alone into matters of a serious level and nature.
In sum, even in aggregate sentence circumstances for petty offenses, the unalterable fact remains that the defendant is not charged with any offense that qualifies as serious, thus invoking the guarantee of a jury trial. Since it is the discrete petty offense itself in these circumstances, and not the accumulation of them, which determines the constitutional entitlement to a jury trial, defendant-appellant's arguments cannot prevail.
The victory in criminal cases does not simply mean that the accused was punished or penalized; rather, it must be shown that justice was rendered. Here in Stephen Bilkis and Associates, our New York Criminal attorneys see to it that justice is done in every criminal case entrusted to us. In case of prostitution, you can consult our New York Prostitution lawyers who will advise you on what should be done in a specific incident.

Interactive forms make it easy for even the first-timer to fill out and file their returns. There is no charge for this service, and taxpayers can opt to have any applicable fees deducted from their federal refund. Transmissions are secure and for filing-to-refund time is greatly reduced.

Since the dawn of sliced bread have we not seen such grand ingenious culinary innovation. Yes folks, in large thanks to Brandeis University professor Daniel Perlman, we're about to take a step into a world where you can sustain a legit caffeine buzz (like several cups worth) off a muffin.
During his interview with Eater, Perlman says, "This flour contains 2.5 percent caffeine by weight, so if you were to put 4 grams of this into, say, a breakfast muffin, it would be the equivalent of drinking a cup of coffee."
Hold the phone. Say what now? And yes, it gets better; this flour's derived from green coffee beans, and rich in major health benefits. The roasting process for these green coffee beans helps retain antioxidant chlorogenic acid, which scientists believe can significantly diminish your risk of heart disease and diabetes.
If you're someone who's susceptible to over self-medicating on that java fix, Perlman says not to worry too much. He explains, ""Unlike some bars that are loaded with chemically purified or synthesized caffeine, this is natural food source caffeine. I would expect it to be absorbed a little more gradually than the caffeine in a cup of coffee, so [it would offer] a more sustained release and longer-term stimulation than you get when you drink a cup or two of coffee."
Perlman additionally informed Eater his coffee flour is a "very user-friendly ingredient", meaning it's pleasingly easy to bake with. Put your hands together and give a warm round of applause my fellow novice bakers.
