Andrea Olivera Centre for Ayurveda Rituals Dr. Robert Svoboda Special Lecture - The Law of Karma - Friday May 10th, 6:30pm to 9pm As the concept of karma has gradually entered into modern popular culture it has become a causative catchword, a universal excuse. People now speak glibly of those with whom they "have karma," and of it being "their karma" to get this promotion or buy that new trinket. This seminar seeks to shed succinct light on the essential tenets of the Law of Karma, and to use those tenets to illustrate and elaborate a few of the implications of the complexities that this universal system of ordering reality generates in our lives. Robert will focus in particular on how various "karmas", including the Panchakarma of Ayurveda and the Shatkarmas of Yoga and of Tantra can be used to assist us in our karmic purifications.

The Law of Karma, which regulates every act that occurs within the manifested universe, is the Law of Cause and Effect, the law of "as you sow, so shall you reap". Better known to us as Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Every action that we perform, physical or mental, with which we identify ourselves as the doer becomes a karma for us and will produce a reaction which we will eventually have to experience.

Costa Rica is a wonderful place to visit with your family or even alone.
Many couples honeymoon in Costa Rica combining romance, adventure and mystical visits to volcanoes, rainforest's, waterfalls, and secluded beaches. Our goal here is to provide a condensed guide that you can print and take with you to use for reference. For more detailed information about Costa Rica our website is the best information source on the web.
Costa Rica is in Central America north of Panama and south of Nicaragua. The Pacific ocean borders the country to the west and the Caribbean to the east.
The citizens of Costa Rica are affectionately called Tico's and Tica's. In all of Latin America, the Tico's are most like North American's in their thought process. There are many cultural differences but tourism and tourists in general are welcomed warmly in this country.
Costa Rica has the highest literacy rate in Latin America. Every four years elections are held with 95% of the population participating in the voting process. Costa Rica has had no military forces since 1946. 27% of the country's budget is spent on health care. Although there are demonstrations occasionally civil unrest is not present. Costa Rica is considered to be the "Latin American success story".
The country has 110 volcanic craters, six active volcanoes,mountain ranges throughout the central portion of the country and secluded beaches with rain forest filled with wildlife butting right up to the shoreline.
Costa Rica has a wet and dry season. The wet or "green" season is from May until November each year. During this time rainfall is more prevalent in most regions (Guanacaste province is the driest area in the country) with sunshine typical in the morning hours with showers in the afternoon and at night. Green season is when hotels offer discounts and crowds are minimized. As mentioned earlier, the northwestern portion of Costa Rica is the best "green" season destination due to rainfall considerations.
Entry requirements for visitors differ depending on your country of origin. US citizens, Canadians, and United Kingdom tourists need a valid passport but do not require a visa. The maximum stay under these conditions is 90 days but can be extended an additional 90 days through a travel agent or within the country through immigration.
Vaccinations are not required for malaria and other diseases to visit Costa Rica.
The water in most areas is safe to drink. Some coastal areas are exceptions however. Bottled water is recommended simply due to taste considerations. If you are at the Multiplaza mall in Escazu for instance the water is perfectly fine to drink. Smaller communities on the coast can be problematic however.
Costa Rica has the best fruit in the world in my opinion. Eat anything and everything in sight!
Electricity is standard 110v like in the USA but generally not grounded. This means that any device requiring a three prong plug will not work without an adapter to two prongs. So, bring an adapter for anything requiring three prongs.
English is widely spoken in tourist areas and major metropolitan areas. Driving a rental car all over the country with no knowledge of Spanish might be problematic. It is generally easy to find someone to help you in English in tourist areas and big cities however.
Medical facilities are available throughout the country. Remote areas, however, only have clinics for minor issues and often have few English speaking staff members. San Jose has excellent medical facilities and English speaking doctors are quite common. Ask the proprietor of the hotel you chose about medical facilities in the area if you have health concerns.
Emergency service in Costa Rica is available by dialing 911.
Holidays are taken seriously in this country. Visit around Easter or Christmas and it will seem that the entire country is shut down. The Easter and Christmas holiday's are celebrated for more than a week!
Violent crime exists in every society. Costa Rica is a safe place to bring your family or to travel alone. Most crime is property theft and pick-pocket oriented theft.
Make sure that you leave your Rolex at home.
Do not keep your wallet in your back pocket. Keep it in your front pocket.
Do not place valuables in backpacks slung over your shoulder.
Many places are perfectly safe to walk at night. Others are not. Ask a local.
A riptide is narrow. If caught in a riptide swim parallel to the shore for a short distance until you no longer feel it pulling you away from shore. Salt water is easy to float in. Don't freak out!
Sharks are prevalent in certain areas of both the Pacific and Caribbean.
Sharks are of concern for fishermen and surfers primarily. If you are not a pro ask about the area you plan to visit. Some of the island's around Costa Rica have huge populations of sharks.
Costa Rica is just north of the Equator. Use sunscreen liberally and drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids while in the elements. I know, now I sound like your mother!
Taxi's have meters. Many unofficial taxi's ply their services in the country. Prior to any trip anywhere, agree on the price before you get in the taxi unless they are using the meter. Many taxi's do not use their meters.
Most hotels, resorts, and bed and breakfast's provide transportation from the airport and are valuable resources to identify the fair cost from one place to another when using taxi services.
Beaches in Costa Rica are not all the same. Some beaches are great for surfing and poor choices for children. Many beaches include amenities close by and plenty of tanned bodies to admire. Others offer secluded splendor and less amenities. Careful planning is necessary to find the right area for a successful vacation here.
The beach options are too numerous to even mention here. Please consider looking at our beaches page for information about some of the best beaches. For surfing we have a surfing page highlighting the best spots to catch a wave.
Some parts of Costa Rica look more like the moon than Central America!
Arenal is an active volcano that offers excellent potential for all the elements of an active volcano. The Tabacon hot springs is a beautiful area offering relaxation, romance, and wonderful atmosphere.
Poas volcano is close to San Jose in the Central Valley and provides eerie views of one of the world's largest volcanic lakes in its crater. Poas is easy to hike compared to other places and has no facility for food and drinks in the park area.
Rincon de la Vieja is in northwestern Costa Rica (Guanacaste province) and is actually a compound volcano meaning that there are more than one composite volcanoes aligned on a ridge. Rincon has 9 eruptive craters, includes bubbling mud pits, and volcanic geysers. Hikes to the summit are controlled by park rangers to keep people from getting lost. Obviously this is more challenging hiking compared to Poas!
Rain forests and animals of the rain forest are one of the big attractions of Costa Rica. Birdwatching, flora and fauna, monkey's, sloths, and many other creatures abound in the rain forests of Costa Rica. Each region has slightly different plant life and animals populating the forests. The lodge and hotel accommodations range from primitive to exotic. Take your time and choose an area that combines activities that you and your family have interests in.
Manuel Antonio is one of the most popular parks in Costa Rica. The park is located in the Central Pacific area and provides great accommodations, rain forest, waterfalls, and beach vacations.
Monteverde Cloud Forest is a wonderland of nature. Located near the Arenal volcano about 3 1/2 hours from San Jose this misty forest is a great place to see birds, monkey's and other wildlife in a well tended easily hiked park.
Corcovado National Park is lowland rain forest and is home to a large population of scarlet macaws. The park features well designed trails, camping, and plenty of ranger stations. The hiking is strenuous, pack your own food and get back to nature in the southern Pacific portion of Costa Rica.
Cahuita National Park provides flat easily hiked trails, and plenty of wildlife in thick lowland forest. White face and howler monkey's are your companions here. Generally rustic accommodations and less amenities are characteristic on the Caribbean coastal areas.
Fun Costa Rica Vacations hopes this visitors guide has been helpful to you. Our goal is to provide useful information to travelers and specifically first time visitors to Costa Rica.
For this reason, if you did not find the answer to a pressing question you have about Costa Rica please contact us at our website about it. We want to provide the most accurate up to date information available to visitors to ensure a fun vacation for all!

Kim Jee-woon: I did theatre in school and I learnt acting then, but people around me told me not to, so I stopped. It was in my early 20's that I learnt that there is someone behind the actors of the stage and that a production needs an overall leader behind everything and that's when I learnt the role of a director.

Boz (prononcé ) est une commune française, située dans le département de l'Ain en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Elle fait partie de l'aire urbaine de Mâcon.

Ses habitants s'appellent les Burhins et les Burhines.

Géographie

Localisation

Boz fait partie de la Bresse, plus particulièrement la Bresse savoyarde, et fait aussi partie du Val de Saône. Commune française du département de l'Ain, à  au nord-ouest de Bourg-en-Bresse à  au nord-nord-est de Mâcon, elle s'étend sur , appartient à l'arrondissement de Bourg-en-Bresse et au canton de Replonges.

Le village est entouré de boisements (chênes, acacias), de cultures essentiellement maraîchères et d'une lande tourbeuse (la tourbière), celle des Oignons.

Communes limitrophes

Hydrographie

La commune est traversée à l'ouest par la Saône. Rivière se jetant dans le Rhône à Lyon, ce cours d'eau vient du nord par la commune voisine de Reyssouze et celle de Saint-Albain, cette dernière étant séparée par Boz par le cours d'eau. La Saône sépare aussi la commune de celles de La Salle et Senozan, autres communes du département de Saône-et-Loire. Les effets de ses crues peuvent se faire ressentir puisqu'environ une tiers de la superficie est situé en zone inondable. Mis à part une mineure part des logements, les habitations sont épargnées par ces risques étant donné qu'elles ont été construites en dehors des zones dont l'aléa est fort ou modéré.

Un affluent de la rivière précédemment citée, le bief de la Jutane est un cours d'eau d'une longueur de  qui prend sa source à Chevroux. Pénétrant le territoire communal par le sud-est, la Jutane reste à la frontière que Boz partage avec Ozan qui celle qu'elle partage avec Asnières-sur-Saône. Le confluent du cours d'eau et de la Saône se trouve au Port Celet. Ce dernier possède lui aussi un affluent se nommant le bief de Nieuse dont la source se trouve à Reyssouze. Traversant la plaine inondable de la Saône du nord au sud, il se jette dans la Jutane près du Pré de la Cure.

Enfin, il existe près l'Étang des Frettes des deux confluents précédemment cités. Cette retenue d'eau sur la Jutane servait autrefois au rouissage du chanvre.  Le rouissage consistait à faire macérer le chanvre dans l'eau pendant plusieurs jours pour faciliter la séparation de l'écorce filamenteuse d'avec la tige, qui servait à fabriquer de la corde.

Climatologie
Le climat est tempéré à légère tendance continentale. Les données climatologiques sont celles de Mâcon qui est la station de référence pour toutes les données. Les valeurs climatiques de 1981 à 2010 sont les suivantes.

Voies de communication et transports

Axes routiers

La route départementale 933 est l'axe le plus important de Boz qui le traverse du sud au nord. En prenant cette voie par le nord, les automobilistes peuvent rejoindre Pont-de-Vaux tandis qu'en se dirigeant au sud, ils peuvent aller vers Ozan, Manziat, Feillens et Replonges. Au niveau départemental, cette route relie Sermoyer au nord à Massieux au sud. Avant 1972, cette voie faisait partie de la route nationale 433 qui reliait Saint-Germain-du-Plain à Lyon mais cette dernière a été déclassée en trois voies en fonction des trois départements qu'elle traversait.

La seconde voie traversant le centre est la route départementale 1c qui l'artère principal du bourg du village. Faisant la liaison entre le route D 993 près du cimetière communal et la route D 933a près du canal de Pont-de-Vaux, la voie permet de traverser Boz ainsi que Reyssouze.

Tout à l'est, à la limite avec Chevroux, le route départementale 58 est une voie reliant Pont-de-Vaux à Bâgé-le-Châtel.

Aucune autoroute ne traverse Boz mais trois se trouvent à proximité. De l'autre côté de la Saône, l'autoroute A6 est un des axes routiers les plus importants de France étant donné qu'il relie Paris à Lyon, ville où la voie devient l'autoroute A7 jusqu'à Marseille. L'autoroute A40 (Mâcon - Genève), portion de la Route Centre-Europe Atlantique Bordeaux/Nantes - Annemasse, passe au sud de la commune à Feillens où se trouve une gare de péage pour rejoindre Mâcon gratuitement et Paris ainsi que Bourg-en-Bresse et Genève. Enfin, l'autoroute A406 relie les deux autoroutes précédemment citées et forme le contournement sud de Mâcon.

Voies ferroviaires

La ligne de Trévoux à Saint-Trivier-de-Courtes, gérée par la Compagnie des Tramways de l'Ain empruntait l'actuelle D 933. La gare fut desservie de 1899 jusqu'en 1937, date à laquelle la ligne fut fermée. Plus aucune trace physique de ce moyen de transport ne subsiste sur le territoire, la gare étant détruite. La route entre l'église et le cimetière nommée route de la Gare reste le seul témoin de ce passé ferroviaire.

Aujourd'hui, aucune voie ferrée ne traverse la commune mais quelques-unes sont situées à proximité mais la ligne traditionnelle Paris - Marseille via Dijon passe de l'autre côté de la Saône et notamment à Mâcon. La gare de Mâcon-Ville est desservie par des TER Dijon - Mâcon - Lyon et quelques TGV reliant le Nord-Est de la France à la Méditerranée.

Transport fluvial

La Saône est navigable à grand gabarit européen depuis Verdun-sur-le-Doubs jusqu'à Lyon. Elle constitue un axe de transport fluvial important entre l'Est et la Méditerranée et est appréciée pour le tourisme fluvial. Mâcon possède trois ports fluviaux : le port de plaisance, un autre près du quai des Marans et l'Aproport, l'un des ports fluviaux les plus importants de France.

Transports en commun

La commune est reliée au réseau départemental des bus car.ain.fr par l'intermédiaire de la ligne 155. Les bus font des allers-retours entre Pont-de-Vaux et Mâcon et desservent l'arrêt Mairie qui est le seul du village.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Boz est une commune rurale. Elle fait en effet partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de Mâcon, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de  à moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (71,4 % en 2018), néanmoins en diminution par rapport à 1990 (73,2 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
prairies (39,5 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (31,9 %), forêts (16,2 %), zones urbanisées (7,8 %), eaux continentales (4,6 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Toponymie

Boz a été citée dans cette phrase latine « Pratum unum, qui est in Luduneuse, ubi a Bosco vocatur » au début du  dans une charte de l'abbaye de Cluny, puis Villa Bo en 1031 et 1061, avant d'évoluer vers Bos au , puis Bosc en 1533, on verra un Bouz et un Boz coexister en 1734 dans une description de la Bourgogne, avant de prendre son nom actuel.

Ce toponyme dérive de Bosc signifiant bois rappelant en ces lieux l'existence d'une zone boisée suffisamment caractéristique par rapport à son environnement.

Histoire

Au Port Celet, les archéologues ont trouvé, dans le sol, des silex et des ossements datant de l'âge du bronze. À l'époque gallo-romaine, ce site fut sans doute très fréquenté et les habitations nombreuses : on a retrouvé dans les berges des poteries romaines, des médailles et une petite tête de bronze. Il s'agit également d'un ancien passage à gué.

Le village est mentionné dès le .

En 1601, après la fin de la guerre franco-savoyarde qui se termine par le traité de Lyon, Boz devient française avec l'acquisition par la France de la Bresse, du Bugey, du Valromey et du pays de Gex. Elle est par la suite intégrée à la province bourguignonne.

Politique et administration

Rattachements administratifs et électoraux
Lors de la création des départements par la Révolution française, elle est intégrée au département de l'Ain et au district de Pont-de-Vaux. En 1800, après la suppression des districts, elle intègre l'arrondissement de Bourg-en-Bresse et reste dans le canton de Pont-de-Vaux.

Jusqu'en 2012, elle faisait partie de la quatrième circonscription de l'Ain pour l'élection des députés. Avec l'ajout d'une nouvelle circonscription, Boz intègre la première circonscription de l'Ain cette année-là.

En mars 2015, à l'occasion des élections départementales, le décret du  portant sur le redécoupage cantonal des cantons de l'Ain entre en vigueur. Ainsi, la commune ainsi que toutes celles du canton dont elle était le chef-lieu sont intégrées au nouveau canton de Replonges.

Du point de vue judiciaire, la commune relève du tribunal d'instance, du tribunal de grande instance, du tribunal pour enfants, du conseil de prud'hommes, du tribunal de commerce et du tribunal paritaire des baux ruraux de Bourg-en-Bresse. De plus, elle relève aussi de la cour d'assises de l'Ain, elle-même située à Bourg. Enfin, Boz dépend de la cour d'appel, du tribunal administratif et de la cour administrative d'appel de Lyon.

Administration municipale

Lors des conseils municipaux, le maire est entouré de quatorze conseillers municipaux.

Liste des maires

Intercommunalités
Boz faisait partie de la communauté de communes du canton de Pont-de-Vaux jusqu'au  qui avait été fondée le . Depuis le , la commune est intégrée à la nouvelle communauté de communes du pays de Bâgé et de Pont-de-Vaux. Cette intercommunalité regroupe les communes de l'ancienne intercommunalité à celles du pays de Bâgé. La structure devient communauté de communes Bresse et Saône le  de la même année.

Toutefois, ce n'est pas la seule structure intercommunale dont fait partie la localité bressane. On peut mentionner le syndicat mixte Bresse Val de Saône créé en 1995 et regroupant 40 communes. Son but est de négocier les procédures que proposent l'Union européenne, l'État ou la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes qui pourraient développer un territoire plus vaste que la simple communauté de communes.

Enfin, comme la totalité des communes du département de l'Ain, le village appartient au syndicat intercommunal d'énergie et de e-communication de l'Ain, organisation fondée le . Le syndicat est compétent dans la gestion des réseaux d'électrification, de gaz, de l'éclairage public, de la communication électronique. En plus de ces compétences, la structure accompagne les communes pour qu'elles puissent maîtriser leur consommation d'énergie, gère un système d'information géographique et a mis en place dans le département, par l'intermédiaire de sa régie Réso-Liain, un réseau de fibre optique pour avoir accès à Internet à très haut débit.

Jumelages

La communauté de communes du canton de Pont-de-Vaux dont la commune faisait partie jusqu'en 2017, année de dissolution de l'intercommunalité, était jumelée avec Dornhan depuis 1994. Cette commune, composée de sept villages est localisée dans le Bade-Wurtemberg à l'est de la Forêt-Noire en Allemagne. L'idée de ce jumelage est née à la suite des échanges scolaires entre le collège Antoine Chintreuil de Pont-de-Vaux et la Realschule de Dornhan.

Enfin, l'école de Boz donne un enseignement aux élèves du niveau CM1 et CM2 qui sont répartis dans deux classes.

La poursuite des études dans l'enseignement secondaire se fait au collège Antoine-Chintreuil à Pont-de-Vaux puis sont redirigés vers les lycées de Mâcon.

Toutefois, pour les familles voulant donner un accès à une école privée, l'école Saint-Joseph composée de quatre classes reçoit des élèves des environs à Manziat. Ces derniers peuvent continuer leur scolarité à Feillens au collège Saint-Charles.

Médias

Le Progrès est un journal régional diffusant dans les départements de l'Ain, du Jura, du Rhône, de la Loire et de la Haute-Loire. Chaque vendredi est publié le journal local hebdomadaire Voix de l'Ain.

China's exports to Russia to catch up with "Made in Germany" annual surge in exports 70%.
According to the association's statistics, China's exports to Russia in 2016 worth about 4.9 billion euros of mechanical casting and equipment, while the German machinery manufacturers last year, said the German machinery manufacturing industry association in Frankfurt (VDMA) Of the export of about 4.4 billion euros.
According to the German voice radio website reported on April 12, in the export of Russia on the issue, the current Chinese suppliers have obvious advantages, the Russian market machinery manufacturing industry association expert Monika Hora Hull said, "in the On this issue, China does not have to consider sanctions, and through the provision of loans to Russia to obtain economic benefits.
Statistics show that the "Made in Germany" machinery exporting country ranking, Russia has from the original fourth, down to 11th. Since 2012, Germany's exports to Russia have been reduced by more than half.
Overall, China's total machinery exports in 2016 was 132.2 billion euros, up 3.9 percent year on year. While China's exports to the EU countries increased by only 0.4%. While exports to emerging countries are substantially reduced.
Experts said that last year China's machinery exports to Brazil fell by 31 percent, while exports to Saudi Arabia fell by 27.4 percent.
According to the report, China's annual increase in exports to Russia reached a staggering 70.3%. This shows that in Western countries after the imposition of sanctions on Russia, China has fully played an unexpected market space. It is noteworthy, however, that last year's leaping growth was achieved by a 23% drop in 2015.

First Guess: Poll Shows We Are Lotto Nation
Video via FOK News Channel
source data
unofficial transcript
Pollster confirms we are living in Lotto Nation.
I'm Keith Olbermann in New York with a First Guess.
Two weeks ago I did a piece here called Lotto Nation which tried to answer a viewer's question: why are people who will never be rich so adamantly defending tax breaks for the rich? As I put it then, those who are unwittingly collaborating with the Radical Right, those who should want the government to spend every dollar on the people who need it like themselves, those who are instead protecting the rich are convinced - utterly, profoundly, life-alteringly convinced - that they themselves are going to be rich.
It's Lotto Nation. The more easily led are absolutely convinced that they will win the lottery tomorrow. They could have played it for a thousand days in a row and not even won a free second Lotto card, and they remain convinced. They literally believe money will fall from the sky and they will be rich and they will be damned if they'll let the socialists take the money they don't have, and are never gonna get.
That was my guess anyway. But now the Reuters news service has been kind enough to poll 2000 American adults on their economic futures, and the results are jaw-droppingly startling and stupid. 16% of them consider themselves well-off or upper middle class, just 16%. But asked if they will become well-off within 5 to 10 years, the number who say yes: 50%. Half. While two thirds of those polled admit that they are barely keeping their heads above water right now, and that the economy has yet to bottom out, half still believe that they will prevail. That as the country gets poorer, they will get richer.
My goodness, 60% of them think they'll start moving on up within the next year! Please do not tell them just how mathematically impossible this is, unfortunately. What's worse is that while Republicans are exploiting what is in many ways a commendable, admirable, uniquely American spirit, the very Americans they are exploiting think that the Republican cult's answer to all problems - cutting government expenditures - is a mistake. Two thirds believe reducing state and local spending for police and firefighters and education and roads and bridges and mass transit would have a negative impact on themselves and on everybody else.
I'm suddenly reminded of my friend Dirk Hayhurst's book, The Bullpen Gospels. Dirk is the former baseball major league pitcher with the Padres and Bluejays, now returning to form in the minor leagues after an injury. He woke up one day, pitching in the California state league, suddenly realizing that there were ten teams in that league and about 300 players, but only about five of them would ever make it to the big leagues. Those five guys were the Harlem Globetrotters. The other 295 players were the Washington Generals, the team the Globetrotters hired to tour with them and lose to them time after time and night after night. The other 295 guys were the tackling dummies, the practice wives, the chorus, against which the real prospects could just test themselves.
Yet all 295 of those players thought they were the ones who would achieve the stardom. And suddenly, Dirk Hayhurst was the only sheep to realize that he was a sheep.
66% say cutting services will make life worse. 66% say the economy is yet to bottom out, but 60% think their economy will improve by next year. Only 16% consider themselves well-off or upper middle class, yet 50% expect to become well-off in ten years tops.
They are the sheep, they are the practice wives and they are the Washington Generals to the Republicans' Harlem Globetrotters. And worst of all, they're also rooting for the Globetrotters.
I'm Keith Olbermann, see you on Current on June 20th.


From time to time I post a dessert recipe, but it's usually something tame, like apple slices. Just kidding. But seriously, I don't post a lot of dessert recipes.
YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: Chocolate Avocado Pudding — Shhhh!
The most important part of this beautiful dish is the gorgeous tomatoes. First find the tomatoes, and then organize the rest of your ingredients. The rest will all come together beautifully once the tomatoes are chosen.
Definitely on a roll here with desserts (especially brownies)! It happens.

Eagles take another hit, OT Lane Johnson says ankle has 'collapsed' and his season is over
If you've watched a Philadelphia Eagles game this season, you've seen Lane Johnson either limping off the field or being helped off. It seems that happens multiple times each game.
Johnson's rough season is over. Johnson told reporters that he's going to have surgery to fix an ankle that has bothered him all season.
The Eagles entered Week 12 in first place of a terrible NFC East, but they are just 3-6-1 and losing one of their most valuable players won't help them turn things around over the last six weeks.
Lane Johnson was playing through bad injury
Johnson's description of his injury hints at what he has been playing through all season.
Johnson said, "The inside of my ankle has collapsed," via Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Johnson explained that he needs surgery to restore the funciton of the deltoid ligaments in his ankle, Bowen said. Matt Pryor, a 2018 sixth-round pick with six career starts, could take Johnson's place the rest of the season.
Johnson was the fourth overall pick of the 2013 draft and has become one of the best right tackles in the NFL. The Eagles have struggled to replace him when he has missed games. But given Johnson's physical struggles this season, he hasn't been the same player anyway.

Johnson aims to return next season
Johnson told reporters he wants to return next season and earn his salary. Johnson is slated to make a little less than $9.6 million in base salary next season.
As for this season, the Eagles have yet another hole to fill. They have been battered by injuries and their offensive line has been a problem all year.
Even if Johnson wasn't 100 percent all season, losing him won't make their offense any better.

David Callaghan: Let's Get This Partly Started
A solid ideas-heavy show about ambition and avarice
Admitting that he came up with the punning title of his new show before he had much of a theme worked out, David Callaghan warmly welcomes his crowd into the 'world's first comedy planetarium' (had his concept come first, perhaps he could have plumped for Planetarium of the Japes?). Presumably dressed all in white to give off a sciencey air, he comes across as more of a jaunty painter and decorator on his tea break.
So, those are the things Callaghan doesn't quite get right. What he does achieve is another solid Fringe affair which suggests that something stronger is round the corner. His tech-heavy hour(ish) neatly visualises his ideas about the expanse of the universe and how tiny we all are; and yet we should all still find something to be ambitious about (thankfully he doesn't ask us to 'reach for the stars'). Along the way there's a bit of celebrity-baiting as he proves (in Chris Morris style) just how far the semi-famous will go to get their hands on 20 quid.
He perhaps spends a little too much time and effort trying to prove that Phillip Schofield is the devil incarnate, but David Callaghan can be wholly forgiven as he's delivered another enjoyable ideas-heavy and gag-happy show.

Upcoming cars in India for August 2019: Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki XL6 and More
Loknath Das July 30, 2019 Cars 2019, And, August, cars, For, in, India, Kia, Maruti, more, Seltos, Suzuki, Upcoming, XL6
As much as five new car models are all set to launch in India during the month of August 2019. From compact hatchback to a luxury sedan, the list includes it all. As a result of this, these launches are going to take place in multiple segments and vary in terms of their prices. What remains to be seen is if these new models are able to perform well in the current market scenario which is affected by low demand due to uncertainty among buyers. In this report, we bring the major highlights of these upcoming cars along with their respective launch dates and expected price range. Read along!
Hyundai's upcoming car teaser
Upcoming Cars in India: Next-Gen Hyundai Grand i10 (August 20th)
The compact hatchback from Hyundai, which takes on the likes of Maruti Suzuki Swift and Ford Figo, is all set to undergo a major generation update. The test mule of the same has been spotted testing multiple times in India. The new iteration of the Grand i10 will retain the current model's basic silhouette. However, it will undergo major revisions in terms of its exterior design. Similarly, the interiors will also be updated and the car is expected to get additional features as well. The engine specifications of the next-gen Hyundai Grand i10 are expected to remain the same. However, they could be upgraded to meet the upcoming BS-6 emission regulations for the new iteration.

Upcoming Cars in India: Maruti Suzuki XL6 (August 21st)
Maruti Suzuki is soon going to launch a premium version of its compact MPV Ertiga in India. The same will have a slightly different exterior design in comparison to the current model. The aesthetic changes will include a completely revised front fascia along with the addition of faux skid-plates at the front and back. Along with this, the MPV will get black plastic cladding, roof-rails along with a new set of alloy wheels. The interior is going to remain the same as before, however, it will come with an all-black colour scheme and captain seats in the middle row. Engine specifications of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 will remain identical to the Ertiga. That said, the premium MPV will retail through the NEXA dealership outlets. Prices of the same will be slightly higher in comparison to the Ertiga.
Upcoming Cars in India: Kia Seltos (August 22nd)
Kia Motors maiden product for the Indian market, the Seltos compact SUV is going to launch in India in August. It is based on the same platform as that of the Hyundai Creta, but is comparatively bigger and hence is going to offer more space on the inside. The Kia Seltos will get several feature and creature comforts to attract buyers in a highly competitive compact SUV segment. This compact SUV will be offered with petrol as well as diesel engine options which will be BS-6 compliant. Transmission line-up will include manual, CVT, torque converter as well as a DCT automatic option. Prices of the Kia Seltos as expected to fall in-between the range of Rs 11 lakh to Rs 17 lakh.
Renault Triber
Upcoming Cars in India: Renault Triber (2nd Half August)
Renault Triber, the compact utility vehicle from the French automaker is also going to make its debut in India in August. Despite measuring under 4-meters in length, it will offer a seating capacity for 7 people. The third row of the Triber can be completely removed which transforms the vehicle in a five-seater with segment-leading boot-capacity of 625-litres. The Renault Triber is going to get a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine. The same will be paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. In addition to this, this utility vehicle will also be available with a 5-speed AMT gearbox. Prices of the Renault Triber as expected to fall in-between the range of Rs 5 lakh to Rs 8 lakh.
Upcoming Cars in India: BMW 3 Series (August 21st)
The next-generation BMW 3 Series is all set to make its debut in India. The new iteration of this luxury sedan comes with completely redesigned exteriors as well as interiors. We expect BMW to launch the new 3 Series in two grades i.e. the 320d and the 320i of diesel and petrol derivatives respectively. The 2019 3 Series is based on BMW's Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform. Prices of this luxury sedan are expected to fall in-between the price range of Rs 40 lakh to Rs 50 lakh.

The start of a New Year - opportunities and intentions
By Jeanine Lumsden - Project Leader
A new year and lots of enthusiasm
Dear Angkor Buddhist Organization Friends
Wow, what a time it's been filled with dedication and resilience from students and teachers alike.
We have been so blessed to have such tremendous family and community support. And with your help, we have been able to offer students opportunities that fill them with hope and inspiration.
With the new school year starting, we have 60 students registered, with more coming! We can offer 90 students a placement this year until we find another teacher to join us.
Environmental changes have impacted our school this reporting period, as families living within 400 square km of Angkor Wat Park have faced land use changes. Preserving the beauty of Angkor Wat and keeping it on the World Heritage List meant many families were displaced and relocated from their ancestral homes. This directly affected our school, with many students unable to travel to study. We continue to explore how we can support those students.
As we continue growing as a new school again, we marvel at the students aged between 5 to 17yrs who are coming to learn and grow in their English language skills and develop their values and principles as proud young Khmer children who will one day be our Camobodain leaders. We plan to share student success stories in future reports and intend for their stories to come to life as we all participate in their journeys overcoming obstacles and triumphing toward their dreams.
Til then...
Learning is fun!
Practise and achieving!

Establishing and growing in new areas of Cambodia
Child Rights and Protection Training
Establishing a new school and working to make it future-ready is a challenging task that our Director and staff are all prepared for and fully committed to for students learning experience.
The work becomes more manageable in partnership with the Australian not-for-profit organisation ABO Rural School Siem Reap Inc, which focuses on building future financial capacity for our school. Your donations are a significant part of this financial security.
During this reporting period, our students and teachers learned on-site about Child Rights and Child Protection through a newly developed partnership with SOS Children's Village Siem Reap. The ongoing training will be provided bi-annually to keep our students protected and informed.
As we offer education that students cannot source in the public school setting, creativity and flexibility are attributes shaping the school's direction and growth. We plan, develop, and learn what works well for the school and how we can support students' learning experiences. Your continued support will change the lives of both students and their families.
Outdoor office
Student learning experiences
New beginnings, challenges and new opportunities.
Study Time!
The Cambodian school year has started during this reporting period.
Initially, we had 14 students at registration time, and now, we have 94 students enrolled. After assessing pre-existing knowledge & skills of each student, we were able to allocate individual students to their correct learning levels. The priority for ABO is to improve the ongoing learning and students' success. We are setting students up for success!
Teachers built a comprehensive picture of the impact of covid effects on our surrounding communities during the registration process. Many families struggle with bankruptcy after defaulting on loans with the loss of tourism through the pandemic, and they cannot fund their children's studies. ABO offers no-fee study lessons, working to support struggling families.
Without sustainable funding, ABO continues to prioritise resources to support and develop our student's learning. We value partnership with our local Pagoda, which provides us with a venue to use when state school closes for the day. Venue sharing comes with challenges, limiting flexibility for class times in the evenings.
We are, however, eternally optimistic. With great learnings over many years, we are encouraged with the things we can achieve. Your support will help us reach our vision: Shaping Stronger Futures for 200 kids in Cambodia.
Setting students up for success
Encouraging curiosity
By Larry Black - Treasurer
In the 4th quarter of 2021, Kroch Bopha, Director of ABO, decided to relocate the school, which became another new beginning. This change came about after management changes within the organization. It is now located back at What Po Langkar, Slor Kram Village, Siem Reap. Slor Kram Village has a population of 2,553 people. The Slor Kram commune comprises eight villages with around 220,000 people. The local monks in the village are providing their Pagoda for classes initially. So far, 14 students have enrolled for classes that will begin in January 2022. At this stage, there will be two classes. The plan is to build a new school and develop education and community services as per ABO's previous model.
The change in location and school is in its early days. While this will be a new school, it will have the benefit and experience of Kroch Bopha to lead this initiative. In addition, Mr Phall will join as the Education officer (previous teacher at ABO school). Of course, ABO and Bopha will have the support of ABO Rural School Siem Reap Inc and donors from around the world.
A change in bank account details and the building of new staff and board members have been the focus for Bopha, ensuring that any local regulatory matters are set up correctly. Meanwhile, the Australian incorporated society team members are working on final pieces of documentation to enable the receipt of tax-deductible gifts for ABO in Cambodia. We hope this will be in place during the first half of 2022. Working together, we determine all school needs, including staffing requirements, laptops, whiteboards, supplies and any other material. Once we understand these needs, we will develop a budget for 2022 and determine various ways to raise funds for the school.
We are all excited about ABO entering a new challenge in 2022.
September 2021 - Fundraising, Rice and Chickens.
Overall fundraising for ABO School continues to be slow, primarily due to the COVID pandemic. Schools in Siem Reap remain closed to students, including ABO School. As the borders remain closed to foreigners and no tourists, businesses have sustained substantial financial and social hardship.
Nevertheless, ABO is still open and helping the community. The school recently received 1000 KG of rice from donors in Phnom Penh. The school will provide 70% of the rice to the poorest in the community and will keep the remaining 30% for the school.
With the closing of the borders, Cambodia went from millions of visitors to virtually none. Most jobs in the tourism sector vanished. Lots of parents depended on some or all income coming from this sector. The teachers in the school realized that urgent action was needed. Almost immediately, they started the vegetable garden on the school's grounds, fully constructed by the teachers and pupils. This project also doubled as a "skill development in agriculture program" for the students.
Bopha and Sayouen (founders of ABO) started a Chicken Coop for sustainability. As the Coop grew and the stock increased, the school began to provide 3 hens and one rooster to students' families. To date, we have six sets out with six families. Plans are ongoing to extend this program out to more local families.
We are working closely with supporters across the globe to establishing an Australian NGO to support the school's fundraising activities. The goal is to have this entity set up by the end of the year.
Your financial support continues to contribute toward making all of this possible, and we thank you for caring and assisting in shaping a stronger future for students at ABO school.

A couple of days ago one of my bloggy/quilty friends wrote a post exposing her 'messy' sewing room. I commented that hers is immaculate compared to mine and she asked for pictures. I was going to only share them with her but they say that confession is good for the soul and I am hoping that showing the mess will give me accountability and will get me moving on cleaning things up! I have done a few projects this summer and have worked around the mess but it is time to clean it up to have space to get my fall projects going!
Here is my cutting table and ironing board side of the room. On the table are some of the remains of all the projects from this summer and all of my Christmas fabrics. On the floor you can see the 11.5 yards of barkcloth I got at that garage sale. Since I took the picture I have started cutting the Christmas fabrics. I have had these fabrics for quite a while and really don't use them anymore so I am cutting it up and I plan to sew it all up at the quilt retreat next month. That will give me another bin to put my stash in!
Here is the other side of the room where the quilting machine is. You can't see it but there is also a huge basket of yarn back there for owl hats and mittens. If I need to do some quilting I move all the bins and baskets to the other side of the room and then move them back for binding, etc. The bins in the foreground are all the fabrics waiting to be made into comfort quilts for church (the first one was given this past Sunday).
Unfortunately, I have no other space to store all of the bins so until I use up the fabric they will just be in the way so it is time to get sewing and hopefully I will be able post some pictures soon that show some improvement!
As long as you know where everything is and there's a path to the sewing machine ---- life is good.......so enjoy!!
The problem is Phyllis I can't necessarily find everything right now! I have been looking for a pattern that is somewhere in that room but seems to be hiding!
Sorry, mine looks even worse. But I'm in the reorganizing mode and like I've told my husband - it's going to get worse before it gets better !
Is it going to settle down?

Cadwalader Pro Bono Client Receives Presidential Clemency
In his final full day in office, President Barack Obama commuted the sentence of a pro bono client represented by Kendra Wharton of Cadwalader's Washington, DC office. [To preserve his anonymity and respect his privacy, we refer to him as Mr. H.]
The representation was conducted under the auspices of the Department of Justice Clemency Initiative, through Clemency Project 2014, which was established to identify and provide pro bono representation to federal inmates sentenced under recidivist enhancements that were no longer part of the Department of Justice policy for federal drug sentencing.
Over 16,000 petitions for clemency were reviewed by the Office of the Pardon Attorney, and 1,715 commutations given, including Mr. H.
In 2008, Mr. H. received a 20-year sentence after the application of a recidivist enhancement to the statutory 10-year sentence. In receiving clemency, his sentence was reduced by almost 10 years.
In an August 2013 speech to the American Bar Association, Attorney General Eric Holder endorsed the need to reform federal sentencing laws and practices to reduce the number of people sent to prison and the length of their sentences. Identifying "just sentences" for low-level, nonviolent drug defendants as a Department of Justice priority, Holder issued a memorandum to federal prosecutors instructing them to avoid charging offenses carrying mandatory minimum sentences for certain low-level, nonviolent offenders. He also directed prosecutors to avoid seeking mandatory drug sentencing enhancements based on prior convictions when such severe sentences are not warranted.
Wharton, an associate in Cadwalader's White Collar Defense and Investigations Group, worked with Mr. H for 12 months, successfully advocating for his sentence to be reduced by almost 10 years. The commutation, which is conditioned upon Mr. H's acceptance, sets his sentence to expire on January 19, 2019.
"This is a life-changing outcome for our client, and it is consistent with the Clemency Initiative's position that we all benefit when we rehabilitate, rather than incarcerate, nonviolent drug offenders," Wharton said.
Added Cadwalader partner Anne Tompkins, who supervised the pro bono matter, "Kendra showed outstanding determination and legal acumen and provided exceptional counsel to her client. We are very proud of her and the outstanding work the firm performed with the Clemency Initiative and on all pro bono matters."
In addition to Wharton, a number of other Cadwalader attorneys have done work for the Clemency Initiative, including Joseph Jay III, Peter Carey, Colleen Kukowski and James Treanor.

The giant tomatoes in this spot were created with huge aviation signal balloons covered with cheese cloth and elastometric rubber. We tried a few different compounds and this seemed to work best.

unbowed wangari maathai summary
only a year after we had watched in despair as losers of an election were The introduction, discussion questions, suggestions for further reading, and author biography that follow are intended to enhance your group's conversation about Wangari Maathai's Unbowed, an autobiography that offers a message of hope and inspiration through one woman's achievements on behalf of women, the environment, and democracy in Kenya.
I also feel like I saw education from a different pers.
Maathai's passion is to heal the scarred Kenyan landscape, which no longer resembles the green highlands she grew up in. Finding Mr Destiny Watch Online Eng Sub, Maathai's autobiography tells her life story well, however I felt as though it didn't give me that much understanding of what went on inside, of how she changed from a nice Catholic school girl to a militant defender of the environment, democracy and women's rights who became a Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Vfw Bar Near Me, And unlike this year's winners, Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank, which have made microfinance a cornerstone of international efforts to tackle poverty, Maathai's Green Belt Movement has found its greatest success in Kenya. Island In The Sun Chords,
The Green Belt Movement fought this by planting trees on public land scheduled for private development, then using the media to draw attention to their efforts and to the land in peril. When Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977, she began a vital poor people's environmental movement, focused on … My introduction to Wangari Maathai was through the children's books by Claire Nivola and Jeanette Winter, which focused on her tree planting efforts.

Path To War Movie Questions And Answers, Wangari Maathai was the first African woman to be awarded the Nobel peace prize. Grist is powered by WordPress.com VIP. In Unbowed, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai recounts her extraordinary journey from her childhood in rural Kenya to the world stage. In the way of all biographies, where a few breezy paragraphs cover years of lived experience, she skims over the tremendous work that must have gone into building an extensive rural enterprise that involved nurseries in remote areas, cash payments for tree cultivation, and verification systems that relied heavily on people who had powerful incentive to confirm that all was going well.

Why should an environmentalist receive a prize that was identified with peace and human rights, voiced the critics.

The appeals judge resigns rather than show favor to Kim's side. Wangari Maathai is certainly a commendable and tenacious woman who overcame many obstacles in Kenya to become an activist in ecology. Read Unbowed , Maathai's autobiography, and you'll quickly understand that her focus has always been on her country. Unfortunately, her writing style throughout is pretty dry; she probably should have worked on the book with someone. Refresh and try again. Author Bio, First Published:
Bitcoin Fork Checker, The first Kenyan woman to earn a PhD, Maathai's professional status and personal life suffered from the Victorian-era gender norms of 1970s Kenya. Some micronations found themselves stranded between two neighboring countries. At the beginning of this year, I resolved to read 12 memoirs/biographies of women, and with less than 3 months for the year to end, while I am not entirely sure of finishing the quorum, I am nonetheless glad that I made the resolution; for it is one of the things that pushed me to picking up Unbowed, a memoir by Nobel Laureate and Founder of Kenya's Green Belt Movement, Wangari Muta Maathai.
Like her father, she was lithe, with high cheekbones and straight hair, characteristics more typical of Maasais than Kikuyus.

Though he had separated from his wife Lena in 1974 (she died three decades later, believing to the end that she would one day be reconciled with him), the president sneered that divorcées such as Maathai had no role in public life.
As I read it I wasn't impressed with the writing, especially in the beginning, where I thought the writing flat, childhood life over-idealised and no depth to that part of the story. main page. $39 for a year. In one memorable episode, Maathai recalls sneaking into Karura Forest in northern Nairobi through a back way, fording through a cold stream, and planting trees on a forest site given over to private developers.

Q: How to calculate the probability of an event when you don't know the initial probabilities? Say there are two coins: coin A is fair, but coin B always comes up heads.
A friend then flips one of the two coins, and you observe that the coin came up heads.
How do you calculate the probability that this was coin A, when you don't know if your friend chose the coin randomly or not?

A: If you don't know your friend's motivation for picking the coin, it's very difficult to come up with a theoretical probability.
You have to somehow identify your current probability that your friend picked the fair coin... in Bayesian probability this is called the "prior" - your assessment of the probability before you collected the data. In the situation you describe, this might have to be a subjective decision. There is extensive discussion of "uninformative priors" at the link provided.
Remember, that probability is based on the information that you have, and can change depending on what new information you collect.
For example, if your friend makes some knowing wink or comment, you might interpret this as a reason to change your prior probability.
If I have some reason to know that my friend would have picked coin A (like, she prefers tails), then I might assess the probability of coin A to be 1, or under other circumstances 0, or indeed anything in between.
Suggestion: Unless you have some reason to believe that your friend picked in a particular way, it might be sensible to set your prior as though your friend chose randomly (in that case, the posterior probability of coin A would be 1/3).
If your chosen prior probability that your friend picked coin A is set at $p$,
then the resulting posterior probability (after you observe a head) that your friend picked coin A will be $(0.5p)/(1-0.5p)$.
Typically, the 'heads' observation will revise your probability of coin A downwards from the probability you initially thought (unless $p=0$ or $p=1$).

A: Assuming that your friend chose the coin randomly, what we are looking for is what is the probability that your friend chose coin A given that when he flipped it he got a heads. Note that this can we written as $P(\text{coin A}|\text{heads})$. To solve this we use the well known $P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$. Therefore we get $P(\text{coin A}|\text{heads})=\frac{P(\text{coin A}\cap\text{heads})}{P(\text{heads})}$. Using a tree diagram we can find that the probability of choosing coin A and then getting a heads is $\frac{1}{4}$ while the probaility of getting heads is $\frac{3}{4}$. Therefore we get $P(\text{coin A}|\text{heads})=\frac{0.25}{0.75}=\frac{1}{3}$

A: You can never arrive at an exact answer - you can only guess at how your friend chooses the coin, and then see how likely your guess is to be true.
You might make the hypothesis that your friend always chose coin $B$.  In that case, the probability of getting a head would be $0.5$ - you might not think that was likely enough, but most hypotheses are rejected only when they predict that the observed behaviour will occur with probability at most $0.1$.
You might suppose that your friend chooses the coins at random.  In that case, the probability of getting a head would be $0.75$ - that seems likely enough.
The fact that the coin landed heads is, unfortunately, not enough to tell you anything about how your friend had chosen the coin.  If it had landed on tails, then you would know that your friend had chosen $B$, and you would know that she had not adopted the strategy 'always choose heads', and you could be reasonably confident that she had not adopted the strategy 'choose heads with probability $0.99$; otherwise, choose tails'.  Of course, in that case, you would know that your friend had chosen $B$, but...
So you really have nothing to work with.  What you need to do is to repeat the process a number of times, assuming that your friend uses the same strategy each time.
Suppose we wish to test the hypothesis that your friend chooses the coin randomly with probability $\frac{1}{2}$.  Get your friend to toss the coin $10000$ times.  Now we define the $95\%$ confidence interval for the number of heads under our hypothesis to be a range of values for the number of heads such that if our hypothesis is correct, there is a $0.95$ chance that the number of heads lies in that range.  A quick calculation (details of which I am happy to provide) shows that this interval is [7415,7585].  So if your friend tosses $7503$ heads, you can be reasonable confident in your hypothesis.  However, if she tosses $8703$, then you are probably wrong.
Suppose you have good reason to believe that your friend is choosing the coins randomly with probability $\frac{1}{2}$, and you observe her toss $7503$ out of $1000$ heads.  Then you have no evidence to reject your hypothesis, so you accept it.  Now suppose your friend tosses again and gets a head.  Using Emile's method, you know the probability she chose coin $A$ is $\frac{1}{3}$.
