Column: Reviewing the year based on every club in the bag

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — The value of one shot was a place in history, another was worth $15 million in the bank. One drive introduced a young Scotsman on the world stage, one fairway metal helped to make a young American a major champion.
All were shots that shaped the year in golf.
What follows is a review based on every club in the bag. And in perpetual honor of Arnold Palmer and his beloved shootout at Bay Hill, this bag isn't limited to 14 clubs:
Bryson DeChambeau gets attention for cutting off most of the lake on the par-5 sixth hole at Bay Hill, and thrusting both arms in the air like a strongman. The best shot hit with a driver was three weeks later at the WGC-Dell Match Play.
Robert MacIntrye of Scotland came to the 371-yard 18th hole at Austin Country Club needing to win the hole to advance out of group play. He hit a bullet onto the green 3 feet from the cup, right next to the feet of Dustin Johnson's caddie.
3-WOOD
Daniel Berger was tied for the lead on the par-5 18th of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am when he laced a 3-wood onto the green to 30 feet. He holed the eagle putt for a two-shot victory and was on his way. By the end of his year, Berger was a Ryder Cup player.
Nelly Korda won her first major and moved to No. 1 in the world with a powerful performance in the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. And that power was never more evident than on the par-5 fifth hole at Atlanta Athletic Club. She hit 7-wood that stopped a foot away for eagle that gave Korda the lead for good.
3-IRON
Harris English was one shot behind on the downhill, par-5 closing hole at Kapalua in the season-opening Sentry Tournament of Champions. From a downhill lie, he hit 3-iron from 268 yards to 10 feet. That set up his birdie to tie Joaquin Niemann, and English beat him with a birdie on the first extra hole.
English might be the best reminder that the best way to raise one's profile is by winning. He won twice this year and was part of his first Ryder Cup team.
Justin Thomas has a short history of big shots on par 5s, and this was a big stage. Thomas and Jordan Spieth were all square against Viktor Hovland and Bernd Wiesberger in Saturday foursomes at the Ryder Cup. On the 569-yard 16th hole, Thomas hit 4-iron to 8 feet that Spieth converted for eagle, and they went on to a 2-up victory.
The Masters was wide open on Saturday afternoon when Hideki Matsuyama hit 5-iron that never left the path of the flag on the par-5 15th, landed softly and rolled out to 5 feet for eagle. That gave him the lead for the first time, and it started an eagle-birdie-birdie run that sent him to a four-shot lead and ultimately a green jacket.
Patrick Cantlay had a one-shot lead over Jon Rahm playing the par-5 18th hole at East Lake with no less than $15 million riding on the outcome. From the fairway, he smoked a 6-iron from 218 yards to 12 feet — the closest of anyone all day at the Tour Championship — that set up birdie to become the FedEx Cup champion.
Sam Burns twice failed to convert 54-hole leads in his pursuit of his first PGA Tour victory. His last challenge at the Valspar Championship was the 16th hole. From 186 yards, he had a 6-iron until caddie Travis Perkins felt the wind die and called him off. Burns instead hammered 7-iron to 18 feet for birdie, sending him to his first title.
Collin Morikawa was coming off two birdies and was in the lead at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai when he found a bunker off the tee. With an 8-iron, he hit a high fade to shape it around the water to 12 feet. That set up a par that kept up his momentum, and he finished off a victory that made him the first American to become the European Tour's No. 1 player.
Sergio Garcia already had beaten Lee Westwood in the opening session of the Match Play and then faced him in a playoff two days later to try to win the group. On the 161-yard fourth hole, Garcia hit 9-iron just beyond the pin and it trickled back into the cup for an ace. That prompted Westwood to say: "Well, 28 years on tour and I thought I had seen everything. I hadn't!"
DeChambeau is swinging faster and hitting it farther, and it's not just the driver. On the par-3 eighth hole at Torrey Pines in the final round of the U.S. Open, he hit pitching wedge from 175 yards, slightly uphill at sea level, that came within inches of falling for a hole-in-one. The tap-in birdie gave him the lead for the first time. Ultimately, he couldn't hold on.
GAP WEDGE
Max Homa's hopes of winning at Riviera looked lost when his tee shot on No. 10 in a playoff settled at the base of a tree, while Tony Finau was 7 feet away for birdie. Homa hooded a gap wedge to get some spin, somehow bumped it up the hill to the front of the green and escaped with par to stay in the playoff. He won with a par on the next hole. Along with the incredible shot, this was among the feel-good wins of the year — an LA kid, winning at Riviera, getting the trophy from Tiger Woods. "I don't know if I can do anything cooler in golf than this," he said.
52-DEGREE WEDGE
The return of Spieth this year also brought back his short-game magic, none more memorable than the opening foursomes session with Thomas at the Ryder Cup. The ball was buried in deep grass on the side of a steep slope left of the par-3 17th. Spieth opened the face of a 52-degree wedge and swung so hard that the ball shot straight up in the air, and his momentum sent him racing down the hill to the edge of Lake Michigan. The ball came down 6 feet away. Thomas missed the par putt. No matter. It was the shot everyone wanted to see that day.
SAND WEDGE
Xander Schauffele had the Tokyo Olympics in mind all summer, and he came to the final hole of Kasumigaseki Country Club with a one-shot lead. He hit into the trees on the right and had no choice but to chip back to the fairway. From 98 yards, he hit sand wedge about 15 feet behind the hole and watched it spin back to 4 feet. He made the par for the gold medal.
LOB WEDGE
Phil Mickelson had a one-shot lead in the final round of the PGA Championship when he put his tee shot in the front bunker on the par-3 fifth hole at Kiawah Island. Always skilled with a lob wedge, he blasted out perfectly and it trickled into the cup for a birdie surprise, widening his lead and sending the 50-year-old into the record book as golf's oldest major champion.
The clinching birdie putt for Jon Rahm in the U.S. Open was the 18-footer on the final hole at Torrey Pines. The winning putt? That might have been on the hole before. Rahm was one shot behind Louis Oosthuizen when he rolled in a sharp-breaking 25-foot birdie putt to tie for the lead. Behind him, Oosthuizen bogeyed the 17th and Rahm was on his way.
The story has been corrected to show that Korda made eagle on the fifth hole, not third, and Thomas' 4-iron led to eagle, not birdie, for Spieth.

The Hell Run
It's the dark days of World War II. The Norwegian resistance had been fighting a quiet battle against their Nazi occupiers by sending vital information back to the allies. But when they start taking a more aggressive role the occupiers decide they must be eliminated. The liberty ship John Ireland, after surviving the dangerous North Atlantic and Arctic trip to Murmansk, is chosen to become part of the effort to rescue Norwegian civilians and carry them to safety in England before the Nazi's can carry out the order to wipe them out. Based on a real, but little-known mission during World War II.
Rhode Island Rendezvous
Patrick MacPherson is not the man she claims to be… Newport Rhode Island: 1765 The Seven Years War is over but unrest in the American colonies is just heating up. Maintaining her disguise as a young man, Patricia is finding success as Patrick MacPherson. Formerly a surgeon's mate in His Majesty's Navy, Patrick has lately been employed aboard the colonial merchant schooner Andromeda, smuggling foreign molasses into Rhode Island. Late October, amidst riots against the newly imposed Stamp Act, she leaves Newport bound for the West Indies on her first run as Andromeda's master. In Havana, a chance meeting with a former enemy presents unexpected opportunities, while an encounter with a British frigate and an old lover threatens her liberty — and her life.
Tempest on the Outer Banks
After fifteen years working on the mainland, Kurt Salter returns to his boyhood home on Croatan Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The bustling village of his youth, fueled by a menhaden reduction factory, has faded into an economic torpor after the closing of the plant. All Salter wants is to find some peace of mind and a place to pursue his photography. But the barrier islands have their own capricious history that is heedless of the aspirations of its residents. Kurt begins to find solace and even blunders into a relationship, but he and his new love, Regina, are swept along in island grudges and mischiefs not of their making. When Regina, a novice scuba diver, discovers the body of a murdered waterman floating in Pamlico Bay, she and Kurt become part of the flotsam and jetsam of simmering land feuds that hark back to the Civil War. The couple ally with the feisty quasi-mayor of Backtown, a shadowy black hamlet on the island, in which the murdered waterman lived. The murder leads the trio to the tortuous saga of the drownings of ten watermen from the factory ship, The Last Run, in the Graveyard of the Atlantic during hurricane Gladys in 1968. It will require the efforts of the whole village, including Backtown, to confront the tragedy of 1968 and bring the island back to life.
Finding Paradise
Ellen Schmidt finds herself out of step with the world around her. Considered a spinster in her community, her closest friends are the slaves that her family owns. After her father arranges her marriage, she must face a cruel set of circumstances and the beginning of the Civil War, setting her on a path that seems to be out of her control. Strong and independent, Ellen continues in her own unique way to forge a future that can include a paradise of her own.
The Tsar's Locket
Julian Blunt, a former sea captain and a despised Catholic, is stunned when Queen Elizabeth proposes that he help carry a betrothal locket to Tsar Ivan the Terrible in Moscow. It means an alliance between England and Russia is brewing, and the queen warns that should the locket fall into the hands of the Pope or his minions, it could mean war. Julian joins the queen's messenger, the lofty and spirited Jessandra Calcross, in a perilous voyage across the Baltic Sea and into the very heart of Russia. When a papal assassin determined to prevent the royal marriage strikes, Jess turns to Julian as the only man she can trust. Although at odds over religion and station, a slender emotional bond grows. Stalked by the relentless murderer, Julian is soon torn between abandoning his mission so he can better safeguard Jess, and fulfilling his vow to the queen. If he fails the queen he'll never captain a ship again. But if he and Jess continue on to Moscow, they face a darker peril in the mercurial and sinister Tsar Ivan—a peril that will drive courage and dawning love to the breaking point.
The Golden Age of Piracy. The mighty British Empire held to ransom by a rabble of thieves. They went where they chose, did what they wanted, and stole whatever took their fancy. To the governors, merchants, and planters trying to build an empire, they were a threat. To the blue bloods of London, Boston, and Charles Towne, no one was more hated than the pirate captains who stole their gold. Until the noose and cannon snuffed them out, they held the world at their mercy. This is a story of one of those tales.
The Cobbler's Daughter
1872. When virginal Jenny Crispin is dumped at the altar by a chauvinistic cad, she does what any other modern Victorian girl would do—ditch her corset, move to New York City, and join Glorianna Talmadge's free love presidential campaign. But free love and women presidential candidates aren't particularly popular with the powers that be, and Jenny finds herself chased by a sadistic vice detective through the back alleys of New York. Homeless and penniless, she seeks out the one person in the city with the guts and knowledge to save her: a brothel hopping, virgin fearing, explosives expert named Britt Salter. Too bad he's tied up trying to assassinate the visiting King of Egypt. "The Cobbler's Daughter opens with a literal bang and surges ahead from there, giving lovers of muscular historical novels everything we want: brave heroines and bold heroes, daring escapades, and fictional encounters with real, legendary figures, set against a backdrop of exotic period details." —George Weinstein, author of the historical novels Hardscrabble Road and The Five Destinies of Carlos Moreno
The Ship's Carpenter
Caught between Great Britain and France in the mid 1700s, Abraham struggles to pursue his passion for shipbuilding. Kings and captains interrupt his quest for a peaceful life as he encounters and overcomes barriers in two opposed and stratified cultures. From the streets of old London to the Citadel of Louisbourg and lands between, sea-faring battle action and love's complexities entwine to create a dramatic story centered on the carpenter and his love, Yvette. The fastest frigate on the seas links a host of historical characters, with warriors, nobles, shopkeepers, and lovers crossing paths in the wake of la Renommée. "The Ship's Carpenter tells a satisfying story that will be welcomed by anyone with a taste for well-researched Historical Fiction." —Alaric Bond, author of the Fighting Sail Series

Abby Bannister, the CEO and founder Gimps Serving Gimps, is being interviewed for a spot on the local news. A major gimp herself, she is a champion for the rights and independence of all people faced with physical, mental and emotional challenges. Once aired, the interview draws the attention of three people. The first is her best friend, a gay gimp looking for love in all the wrong places. The second is Abby's long-lost cousin, Fey. Homeless, she has an ax to grind and sees Abby as the perfect grindstone. The third is a self-declared angel of mercy who believes Abby is in need of his special services. As Abby whizzes around Tucson, Arizona in her supped-up electric wheelchair, she is oblivious to the grave danger she is in.

G. Davies Jandrey's evocative prose, great dialog and stinging humor, balances darkness with wisdom, hope and humanity. The wheelchair-bound, homeless, the reject and the refugee… all are given authentic voices and draw the reader in to that haunting human border between loving and being loved.

" 'The difference between a flower and a weed is perception,' as Abby learns from the tag on her bag of Karma tea. The realities of handicap, loneliness, homelessness and betrayal are beautifully balanced between well-researched detail and perceptive points of view, all hauntingly told in a story as agile and gripping as a pole dancer caught between delight in her body and the need for cash. By turns scary, sad, glorious, wise and forgiving, Deep Breathing offers wisdom to endure, mercy to change our point of view, and hope to believe in karma, God, or fate's generosity. I'll never look at a handicapped or homeless woman the same way after reading Deep Breathing. This novel is both bleak and totally beautiful, from beginning to its wondrously satisfying end." Sheila Deeth, author of 'Divide by Zero, Infinite Sums,' and her latest mathemafiction, 'Subtraction.'

Death Beneath the Waves
It's early 1942 and America is unprepared for the war it has declared on Japan and Germany. The enemy, however, is not. Soon after President Roosevelt's declaration of war the German Navy dispatches U-boats to the U.S. east coast, Operation Drumbeat was known by the U-boat crews as the 'second happy time.' The hunting was good. Despite the odds, America's war machine and merchant mariners continue to deliver the goods. Through U-boat infested waters, the crew of the tramp steamer Arrow sail on, now with a detachment of Naval Armed Guards onboard, they have to learn how to survive in a hostile world. Picking up survivors, they feel lucky until one day they are the target of the torpedoes and find themselves engaged in a fight for their lives!

To succeed in any endeavor, we have to know what we're doing and why we're doing it. That doesn't mean we have to have all of the answers, but it does mean we must have solid foundation of skill, ability, and knowledge. The people under our leadership will only continue to follow us if they are satisfied that we are qualified to lead. It's not that they believe we'll never make a poor decision, but that they trust us to guide them well.
As leaders, we must be able to explain why one path is better than another, why our marketing strategy and sales approach are appropriate for the products we're trying to sell, why our practice regimen is this way and not that, or why we expect this play to work against the other team's defense. Again, we don't need to have all of the answers, but the people we lead must be confident that we have the competence to lead them in pursuit of the organization's vision and mission.
Integrity is one of the building blocks-if not the cornerstone-of any leader's success. Especially leaders who desire to add value to the lives of those they lead. Leadership skills must be built on a proper foundation. If people in your organization can't rely on you-whether on the big things or the little things-how are they going to follow you? They may follow you for a little while, but it won't be with passion or full commitment.
The reason is simple: When faced with uncertainty about a decision or direction, they won't know whether the person making the decision or pointing them in that direction can be trusted. They may follow for a time, but only conditionally, haltingly, or with misgivings marking every step. If you have integrity model it. If you have a problem with integrity, take care of it quickly before your reputation is established as one who is not to be trusted.
Trustworthy leaders need to exhibit confidence, not false bravado, but an inner sense of security-the kind of confidence that doesn't need to be surrounded by yes-men or people trying to curry favor. From my perspective, a genuine sense of self worth-the kind of confidence that can't be shaken by circumstances-is best obtained through a relationship with God. The knowledge that He created me and cares for me does more than any self-help book ever could. I am both humbled and empowered by the knowledge that Jesus Christ performed the ultimate act of sacrifice for me. To know that God loves me that much is powerful. Leaders who are secure enough in who they are will invest themselves in helping others grow and develop to their full potentials. Secure leaders are free to lift others up who will eventually replace them.
To be approachable and secure, to be trustworthy and loyal, you can't be a phony. Above all, leaders must be genuine. People know a fake when they see one. I am naturally quiet, but as I get to know people better, I begin to open up more and will joke around. Still, I look more serious in public than I do in private. That's who I am, and to be anything else in order to achieve something would be insincere and phony. Someone else can perhaps engage people more easily or be the life of the party. But I don't need to be someone I'm not, nor should I expect others to be something different from who they are. Whatever gifts God has given us, we should make use of them.
People will know who you're not.
And they will know when you are-and be drawn to that.


Discussion in 'Installation/Configuration' started by KenKnight, May 20, 2010.
to restart the server. How in the heck do you do it on ISPconfig 3? I searched the entire drive for ispconfig and all I see is ispconfig_update.sh.
I also search the faqforge and ispconfig.org to no avail. Any suggestions?
ISPConfig 3 is webapp, whick means there are no running services like ISPConfig 2.
What is the goal of restarting ispconfig for you ?
very interesting. I'd made some changes to the phpmyadmin stuff and it wasn't refreshing the variables. Even after restarting apache2. The only fix was to finally restart the VM.
This does not sound like a problem that is related to ispconfig. If you change values with phpmyadmin in a mysql database, ispconfig is not involved in that process.
If you changed values in phpmyadmin, maybe it was about the mysql server... So you had to restart mysql server.

Using some spraypaint experiments done on heavy watercolor paper, I fashioned a pouch to hold journaling supplies and collage fodder I collect during the day while in Italy. This will go in my bag so I can write while exploring. Plenty of duct tape add strength and flexibility. When I get back from the day's adventures I'll reinsert the pages I've written into my travel log.
Another envelope for saved and found scrap materials. Receipts, bus tickets, and interesting street trash. My eye is constantly scanning the sidewalks honing in on stray notes, numbers, lists.
When I wrap up Visual Journal #9 I plan to dust off the container of little boxy canvases that have been sitting in the garage for the last few months. Without the journal to distract me I'm hoping to collage & stencil my way through the entire container. This is unlikely to happen in reality, but in my mind every one of the canvases is already finished.
LA is cooling back down. 59 degrees with 72% humidity right now. Rain is on the way. I hope the garden gets one last drenching before the long dry spell begins.
The Pride of Madeira offers up her tiny blossoms one by one, until the entire stalk is saturated with the bluest shade of purple.
Your journal is looking so very good!
The beautiful mosaic along your doorway, in the climbing rose picture, caught my eye. What a whimsical beauty to have along your doorway. Beautiful.
I envy you with your blooming flowers and rain. We have hail, and not all the snow is melted yet haha.
Aside from the abundance of color and life from your garden photos, I couldn't help but notice the mosaic border around the purple door. What a lovely accent!
Hope you are well. What a gorgeous journal – all of the layers of paint are fabulous – I must whip out some spray paint, as you definitely inspire.
Some of your patterns remind me of batik.
Isn't this marvelous? I love the creativity. Lately I've been getting into cardboard. No, silly, not as a cuisine! Is there any cardboard in your creation? Anyway, it will serve you well, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to it while it's in Italy.
You ARE going to post from Italy…YES? YOu wouldn't make us wait until you get back!!!!
drinking in the blooms here….our tiny tiny purple flowers on the vinca vine are currently under snow.
I love Mary Oliver. Her visuals are so strong, they almost make me ache. Your flower photos are a lovely compliment to them. Can hardly wait until Spring decides to bloom here.
Oh you clever girl, you! What a sumptuous creation that journal is- what are its (almost) final dimensions? How thick has it grown? and, what does it weigh? Did you put in the tile mosaic around the doorway? It is inspiring to see peek at your yard. So far not inspiring enough to start working inn mine – it has so much basic cleaning and maintenance before fun stuff that I have successfully spent spring break avoiding it altogether. I did do a lot of playing in my journal however. More stamps and a new stencil.


Lin He, Srichand Jasti, Rajaraman Suryakumar, Ramesh Sarangapani; Comparison between simulated and clinical visual performance in pseudophakic patients with trifocal intraocular lens. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2018;59(9):249.
Purpose : Recent innovative trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) have been shown to provide patients with great visual acuity at distance, intermediate and near. Defocus curve has been studied as an essential visual performance endpoint to evaluate range of functional vision of multifocal IOLs. The purpose of this study was to simulate the population-based defocus curve and compare against the clinical results.
Methods : One-hundred virtual eyes have been generated using two-surface reduced eye model. Monte-Carlo approach was adopted by iterating different corneal power and aberration, anterior chamber depth and pupil size. Light-in-the-bucket (LIB) were calculated at varied defocuses from -3.5 D to +1.0 D and transformed to visual acuities and defocus curve. Defocus curves were also measured in patients from two clinical trials (n = 148 and 93 respectively).
Results : From -3.5 D to +1.0D, simulated mean defocus curve was generally consistent with the two mean defocus curves from the two clinical trials (Figure 1). The largest difference between the simulated visual acuity and clinical visual acuity was 0.059 logMAR and 0073 logMAR while the largest difference between the two clinical studies was 0.038 logMAR. The averaged absolute difference at varied defocus levels was 0.023 and 0.042 logMAR respectively. Between -2.5 D (40 cm equivalent, at near) and 0 D (at distance), simulated and clinical visual acuities were all above 0.1 logMAR, indicating superior visual performance compared to functional visual thresholds (20/32) for daily visual activities.
Conclusions : The simulated visual acuity and defocus curve using population-based LIB metrics have been generally consistent with clinically reported defocus curve for the trifocal IOL. The population-based simulation of defocus curve can serve as a useful tool for lens design optimization and IOL trial planning.

Scandi crime cracking as Sweden gets quirky
March 30, 2022 December 5, 2013 by Roger Packer
Dragon's flame is flickering: the boom in Scandi crime could be over.
The worldwide boom in Scandinavian crime fiction could be coming to an end as Sweden turns towards more quirky books.
Global rights platform IPR License has been looking at two contrasting publishing markets, focusing on Sweden, which is seeing a continued boom in foreign sales for fiction, and the UK, where publishers are gripped by fear of failure.
Scandinavia in general dominates the international rights scene, especially for crime-based fiction, and ironically one of the most receptive markets for Scandi crime is the UK.
IPR says while UK publishers aren't performing badly internationally, its research points to the need for UK publishers to maximise international rights which are an important revenue stream.
Here are more some of the findings from the research.
Elisabet Brännström, Director at Storytellers' Agency, says the Swedish fiction export can no longer be considered hype or a bubble but a genre that will be around for a long time.
But she adds there is a shift away from the domination of thrillers and crime. Top-selling titles in Sweden over the last four months have included wry humour (Fredrik Backman's My Grandmother Sent Me to Tell You She's Sorry and Jonas Jonasson's The Analphabet Who Knew How To Count), erotica (E L James) and upmarket women's fiction.
Crime titles made up fewer than half of the books on the Swedish bestseller lists in the last four months, a big change on previous years, with the move towards quirkier and more literary titles.
Brännström thinks there will be a broader range of Swedish titles in translation. She points to feelgood women's fiction such as Katarina Bivald's recent foreign rights success, The Readers in Broken Wheel Recommend, and off-beat tear-jerkers like A Man Called Ove by Frederik Backman, that break the mould and rewrite the rules.
Her personal hot tip is to look out for the next Swedish literary, subversive, sci-fi blockbuster.
Lauren Parsons, Commissioning Editor at Legend Press and Paperbooks, looks at the UK market and sees unease among British publishers, reflected in stagnating book sales, higher discounts becoming compulsory and the number of outlets diminishing by the week.
She points to the overwhelming amount of celebrity autobiographies or cookbooks on bestseller lists and says homegrown debuts are down significantly.
Parsons considers UK publishers are gripped by fear of risk and could miss out on the next big thing because it doesn't fit into a niche.
One very interesting observation is that she believes the short story is starting to re-emerge. She gives examples of shorter works such as Victoria Hislop's The Story and Cassandra Parkin's debut novel The Summer We All Ran Away.
Parsons advocates going against the grain to provide readers with what they crave rather than a generic rework of something they have already read.
IPR License is a platform that helps publishers, agents and authors to get international exposure for their books. It was set up in early 2012 to specialise in licensing rights.
Self-published authors are welcome to sign up with the site. The service costs £99 for the first year, covering upload and registration of up to five full-length works, while annual renewal costs £60.
Membership of the site offers a third-party independent copyright record and makes your work available to be viewed by publishing professionals around the world. You will be eligible for IPR's agent recommendation scheme and inclusion on the global rights bulletin to publishers.
Some of the IPR License research findings are published at Publishing Perspectives.

Press Center Daily News 2019 Chris Peterson heading up film outreach at Chimney Group
Chris Peterson heading up film outreach at Chimney Group
NEW YORK CITY — The Chimney Group (www.chimneygroup.com) recently welcomed Chris Peterson to its New York office as the studio's new EP of longform entertainment. He will help build upon the company's successful longform credits, which include The Dead Don't Die, Atomic Blonde, Chappaquiddick, The Wife, and Her.
As head of film outreach, Peterson will leverage his expertise in film finance, tax credit maximization and technical workflows to grow Chimney's feature film and television capabilities. He brings over two decades of experience in production and post production, and a credit list that spans the television, film, technology, advertising, music, video game and XR industries.
For the past eight years, Peterson has been board secretary of the Post New York Alliance, which was co-founded by Chimney North America CEO Marcelo Gandola. The PNYA is a trade association that lobbied for and passed the first ever post production-only tax credit, which was recently extended for two years. He is also a member of SMPTE.
"Chimney combines the best of both worlds: a boutique feel, and global resources," says Peterson. "Add to that the company's expertise in financing and tax credits, and you have a truly unique resource for producers and filmmakers. I couldn't be happier about joining the team, and bringing these resources to my friends and clients."

Is the fast of cardiac patients invalidated when they use sublingual pills?
The sublingual pill placed under the tongue in some cardiac diseases is absorbed through the mouth tissue, mixes with the blood and prevents heart attack. Since that pill is absorbed and disappears in the mouth, it does not reach the stomach. Therefore, sublingual pills do not invalidate fasting.


What are Textured Needles? These needles are sanded and textured and then is given a soft polish on the tip of the needle. This leaves the tip rough and not smooth like it normally would on a Non-Textured tattoo needle. These needles will hold ink better on needle and is great for packing in color into the skin.
Our Beyond® Tattoo Needles is our signature needle that we've been selling for over 20 years. Our Beyond premium needles go through strict quality control to make sure you get a great high quality tattoo needle. We recently updated our box design (originally purple box with rainbow dragon).

"Isolated" Russia Begins Testing De-Dollarization-Driven Payment System
Having announced its intention to create an alternative to the SWIFT payment system (following calls from Western politicians for SWIFT to cut off Russia - which the 'independent' firm rapidly denied), Russia recently said it would be ready in May. However, it seems the rapid drop in the Ruble (and the Yuan in recent days) has escalated the need for this de-dollarized payment system and, as RT reports, Russia's Rossiya and SMP banks, which fell under Western sanctions, are among the eight lenders that will start testing the country's new national payment system on December 15.
As RT reports,
Russia's Rossiya and SMP banks, which fell under Western sanctions, are among the eight lenders that will start testing the country's new national payment system on December 15.
"The pilot project involves SMP Bank and Rossiya Bank, those for which the story is very critical and important. These are quite large banks," the head of the Russian National payment system (NPS) Vladimir Komlev said in an interview with Rossiya 24 TV.
The move comes as a part of Russia's ambitious initiative to move away from the Western dominance of its financial markets. Last month the Russian Central Bank said it would have its own international inter-bank payment system, an alternative to the global SWIFT network up and running by May 2015.
Another bank involved in NPS testing is Russia's second largest VTB. Recently its management has been vocal about the need to make Russia's financial system more self-sufficient and ditch the US Dollar, Vedomosti reports.
Komlev said the new system's principle of operating will remain the same. The use of the existing formats will be more convenient for banks; they won't have to reconfigure their software.
The latest version of the NPS technology is being tested by the Russian Openway Solutions company.
"The modules themselves are something unique, independent, only partly related to the Openway. Now all this belongs to us: our code, the knowledge of how the system is built, and its logic. We are able to develop it and provide support," said Komlev.
NPS was established in 2014 after a number of Russian banks were hit by US and EU sanctions. In March international payment systems Visa and MasterCard stopped servicing cards issued by the banks following the introduction of the sanctions.
It appears that as sanctions and oil-price-declines pressure Putin, he is accelerating his gold-hording de-dollarization as unintended isolated consequences boomerang back at the US Dollar's hegemony.

This week's Fashion Inspired by Art is centered around Johannes Vermeer's "The Girl with the Pearl Earring." Read on to learn more about the painting and to see some outfits inspired by this classic work of art.
Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) was a painter from the Dutch Golden Age. His small body of work focuses mostly on domestic scenes with women. While now regarded as one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age, he died in relative obscurity, as he sold most of his works to a local patron and very few paintings reached larger markets like Antwerp or Amsterdam. However, interest in his work was reignited after an art historian recognized Vermeer's "The Art of Painting" had been wrongly attributed to another painter.
"The Girl with the Pearl Earring" is probably the most iconic portrait to come out of the Dutch Golden Age, thus earning the name "Mona Lisa of the North." Despite what the novel based on the painting's conception would suggest, nothing is known about the girl or if the painting was commissioned or not.
I adore this piece for all of its contrasts – the dark background and the lit figure, the relative simplicity of the girl's dress and the luxury of her massive pearl earring, the broad strokes in the fabrics and the more detailed rendering of her face… the list goes on!
Historians note that the girl's turban is rather odd, not something one would expect to find on a 17th-century Dutch girl. Some speculate Vermeer employed the turban for an exotic touch, while others say it was used to showcase his painting abilities. Because of the girl's outfit, some categorize the painting as a tronie – a face or bust study featuring an unconventional expression or costume.
Channel Vermeer while staying cool in the heat with a head wrap, the turban's more accessible cousin. Apply Vermeer's favorite color scheme with a mustard kimono and ultramarine bottom (skirt or shorts – it's up to you!). A white top creates a neutral base amongst those two shades, while understated sandals and a cross-body bag are classic choices. And, of course, the ensemble wouldn't be complete without a pair of pearl earrings.
Vermeer's hometown, Delft, was famous for their porcelain, also known as Delftware. Porcelain prints have been seen on the runways at Rodarte, Mary Katrantzou, Valentino, and more, and the trend is slowly reaching high street retailers.
Add another dose of Dutch art with these printed trousers (or skirt) paired with a basic black top. Ankle strap shoes are a stylish pick, while a blue bubble necklace makes quite the statement. Keeping with the "pearl" theme, opt for some floral pearl studs, then take a cue from Chanel with pearl hair pins that you could also easily DIY.
Another famous pearl connoisseur is Giambattista Valli. Whether he's wearing a v-neck or a tuxedo, he's almost never without his signature pearls.
Balance a casual pullover with a string of pearls for a sort of "ladies who lunch" street style look. Keep the contrast going by pairing masculine Chelsea boots with a feminine skater skirt. The porcelain print scarf is a nod at Valli's last couture collection, inspired by porcelain from around the world. For the finishing touch, paint your nails a bold yellow hue.
Is "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" your favorite Vermeer? Or is there another iconic portrait you like? What do you think about the inspired outfits? Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below, I'd love to hear your opinions!


Elite Preston Smith Jersey – dnbsource – official drum & bass downloads!
Elite Penny Hardaway Jersey One storyline making headlines ahead of the NBA-All Star Game involves prominent players speaking out on social issues that continue to affect the United States, including powerful words from LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Some of the comments created controversy within the media, but in an interview on NBA TV, commissioner Adam Silver reiterated his support for NBA players using their platforms to raise awareness. The support isn't always the case for commissioners of a league, but Silver wasn't holding back as he offered some praise for those athletes speaking out in a positive way.
So I think it's fantastic and other people don't have to agree with everything they're saying. I'm comfortable with people disagreeing as well and I don't agree with everything the players say, but it's about the platform and it's the opportunity to express themselves.
Durant's contract allows for Riley Dixon Youth jersey a $26.25 million player option for next season. Even if the chances he'll leave are infinitesimal, why haven't teams been clamoring for his attention like two offseasons ago? Simple. He got out ahead of it this time.
In his last go-around of the free agency circus, Durant was heavily criticized for signing with the Warriors. He ultimately got the last laugh when he won his first championship and NBA Finals MVP, but re-signing with a team you're already on seems like a decision that would add a lot less scrutiny than going anywhere else, so it makes sense that Durant wants to avoid that.
What's unclear: The exact dollar amount and length of Durant's future contracts.

He was accused of drug doping athletes in the theft of his victories
Martin, Foodfoto: Murad Sezer / Reuters
Five-time Olympic champion, French biathlete Martin Fourcade spoke on the topic of doping scandals in the sport. His words quoted by Le Parisien.
"I'm sure some of the victory was stolen from me dopingliste. But I'm one of those athletes who can afford to say that didn't dope and have achieved a lot and I have no one stole nothing," said Fourcade.
The veteran also commented that the World anti-doping Agency (WADA) has opened an investigation against the International biathlon Union (IBU). "The doping control we have permanent. Someone caught someone unpunished. However, I don't think that doping in biathlon too common," said the athlete.
At the end of March in an interview, "Match TV" Fourcade said he was not sure of the involvement of Russian biathlete Anton Shipulin to doping scandals. "I'm not ready to give a hand to bet that he never used," — said the Frenchman.
The Frenchman has repeatedly support to the Russian athletes. In his opinion, the Russian Olympians had the right to pass under its flag at the closing ceremonies in Pyeongchang.
29-year-old biathlete is a two-time winner of the Olympic games in Sochi and three-time champion of the Games in Pyeongchang. In addition, the athlete won 11 gold medals at the world Championships.

This book presents research on superconductivity. The first chapter discusses the physical properties of two nonmagnetic noncentrosymmetric superconductors, LaRhSi3 and LaIrSi3. Chapter two reviews the SrFe2As2 and FeTe0.8S0.2 compounds, which are perspective for developing new superconducting materials on their basis. The possibility of selective excitation of the nonlinear lattice vibrations in high-temperature superconductors formed from layers or thin films opens the new perspectives in the manipulations and control of quantum field in superconducting phase, which is further discussed in chapter three. Chapter four begins with a detailed derivation of the three coupled integral equations associated with the so-called generalized Bose-Einstein condensation formalism of a many-fermion system. Finally, chapter five proposes a microscopic theory of superconductivity based on the spinfluctuation mechanism of pairing.

Much has been made of President-elect Donald Trump's phone call with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen and his statement in a recent interview that he does not understand "why we have to be bound by a One China policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things," Some have criticized Trump for unnecessarily shaking up a delicate understanding on Taiwan that has underpinned decades of U.S.-China relations.
Others have expressed a range of cautious optimism for Taiwan's sake, to outright praise for Trump for refusing to "kowtow" to the Chinese. And some, including the student leaders of the 2014 Sunflower Movement that began in opposition to a Beijing-pushed trade deal, have decried the use of Taiwan as a "tool to score political points." But the real issue is this: Trump's gambit won't work, because Beijing doesn't believe it owes Washington anything for recognizing Taiwan as a part of China.
Trump is not the first president to try to use Taiwan as leverage with Beijing. Richard Nixon, while negotiating the opening of relations with China from 1971 to 1972, tried to link American concessions on Taiwan to Chinese cooperation in Vietnam. Around this time, thousands of U.S. troops were deployed in Taiwan as part of the United States' mutual defense treaty with the Republic of China (ROC).
Nixon and Henry Kissinger knew one of Beijing's greatest priorities was obtaining American recognition of Taiwan as a part of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and getting U.S. troops off the island. Thus, they decided to link the withdrawal of American troops from Taiwan to China's pledge to help the United States achieve an "honorable exit" from the Vietnam War. The two American leaders suggested to their Chinese counterparts that they should pressure their ally, North Vietnam, to sign a peace agreement with the United States if they wanted a quick exit of U.S. troops from Taiwan.
But Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai categorically rejected the quid pro quo. Zhou insisted that because Taiwan was a rightful part of China, Beijing had no reason to reward the United States for leaving the island. In fact, Zhou said, making such a demand was as ridiculous as China taking exception to the United States' sovereignty over Hawaii or Long Island. While the bargain failed, rapprochement proceeded with a general understanding that the United States would gradually withdraw its troops from Taiwan. Beijing, however, continued to support North Vietnam's war efforts and provided significant amounts of military assistance to its ally between 1971 and 1973.
Ronald Reagan also tried to strike a bargain with Beijing that involved Taiwan when he first arrived in office. Reagan had campaigned on the platform that the Carter administration had conceded too much to the Chinese while normalizing relations with the PRC in 1979, and suggested he would re-establish official relations with the ROC if he were elected. After assuming office with this tough stance, the Reagan administration was immediately obliged to confront the issue of arms sales to Taiwan, and especially with the question of whether it would proceed to sell FX fighter jets as had been discussed during the previous administration.
Beijing objected not only to the potential sale of the FX, but also to all arms sales to Taiwan as an infringement upon Chinese sovereignty. With the knowledge that Beijing coveted advanced American-made, dual-use technology and weapons, the Reagan administration decided to offer an implicit bargain to their Chinese counterparts. Beijing was told it would be granted the status of a "friendly, non-aligned state," making it eligible to purchase American arms if it acquiesced to the United States' arms sales to Taiwan.
Even though the reward was very appealing to the Chinese side, they immediately rejected the bargain, because accepting the deal would not only undercut China's sovereignty, but also damage the Chinese leadership's standing among their citizens. Furthermore, the Chinese refused to move forward with any other aspects of the bilateral relationship until the issue of Taiwan arms sales was resolved. Finally, after months of negotiations, the two sides agreed to the Aug. 17, 1982, communiqué, which resolved the bilateral impasse with the United States' declaration that it would gradually reduce arms sales to Taiwan in light of China's declaration that it would strive for a peaceful solution to the Taiwan question.
China simply will not engage in bargains that call into question its sovereignty over Taiwan. Trump's attempt to use the One China policy as a bargaining chip rests on the false assumption that Beijing sees the policy as something to be negotiated. This is perhaps one of the few times the routinely hyperbolic Global Times can be taken literally when it states that the notion of "One China" cannot be "bought or sold." China has stood by this principle consistently, even in the face of enticing deals.
Nixon and Reagan attempted their bargains when China was both weaker in the global arena and less vulnerable to domestic criticism. Today, the PRC is a global power that is recognized by the vast majority of states as the official government of China, many of which see Beijing as a critical trade partner they cannot afford to antagonize. At the same time, Chinese leaders are much more vulnerable at home due to the rise of officially encouraged nationalism, a slowing economy, and mounting societal grievances. As a result, Chinese leaders know they cannot afford to look weak in front of their own citizens. All of this makes Taiwan a genuine red-line issue that cannot be manipulated to elicit Chinese cooperation in other areas.
If Trump truly seeks to win China's cooperation on trade, North Korea, and in the South China Sea, he should use his business acumen to sell his ideas and desired policies to Beijing instead. He should persuade the Chinese that evening the playing field for international businesses in China, doing more to pressure Pyongyang, and refraining from provocative activities in disputed territories are in China's ultimate interests. The best way to win genuine and long-term cooperation from Beijing, or any partner for that matter, is to change leaders' minds about how best to pursue their state's fundamental interests.
Taiwan understandably desires deeper ties with the United States and greater diplomatic space in the international arena. And there are ways in which the United States can help Taiwan, a friend and fellow democracy, on such efforts. But as history tells us, destabilizing the long-standing agreement with Beijing on the One China policy is certainly not one of them.

Home » Blog » Partnering Process » Is an Assistance Dog Right for You?
Assistance dogs are wonderful working animals that literally change lives for people with disabilities and their loved ones. These intelligent, adaptable, reliable, supportive, highly trained canine partners can perform an astounding array of tasks, help mitigate many aspects of many types of disability, and provide invaluable companionship.
It's easy to gush about the countless benefits of assistance dogs, especially for those of us who've already partnered with one. However, it's important not to be dismissive of the responsibilities that come with having a guide, hearing, or service dog, or of the fact that's it's a big decision that can't be made lightly.
The truth of the matter is that partnering with an assistance dog won't be a good match for every person. Lots of individual considerations come into play when figuring out whether an assistance dog is right for you. Below are some of the big questions you need to ask in deciding if you want to pursue this avenue, or perhaps turn instead to assistive technologies and other sources of support.
While thinking about money might seem secondary to such an emotional issue, it's extremely important to understand the financial commitment of partnering with an assistance dog. Acquiring an assistance dog is far more involved—and costly—than adopting a pet dog.
Depending on where you get yours, the process of applying for, choosing, training, and getting your assistance dog can be lengthy and cost as much as $5,000 to $25,000. Remember, too, that this isn't even counting the ongoing costs of dog food, treats, supplies, toys, bathing products, veterinary appointments, medications, maybe a dog walker or professional groomer, and all the rest. Dog care costs average around $150 per month, or $1,800 per year.
You'll also have to spend time training with your new partner. Also, many hearing, guide, and service dogs require occasional ongoing training, which typically means spending additional time and money on the process.
Having a dog in your home comes with a number of responsibilities that require your time, money, involvement, and commitment. Some of the big ones include feeding her a nutritious diet, providing her plenty of physical and mental stimulation, ensuring a sanitary environment, allowing access to the outdoors, tending to her bathroom needs and cleanup, keeping her clean and well groomed (which is especially important for being able to take her out in public), offering daily attention and affection, providing veterinary care and any necessary treatments, parasite control, and more.
Think about how this will all work with your daily life. Partnering with an assistance dog means you're accepting responsibility for appropriate care. Be certain that you can consistently deliver it. Of course, you don't have to do it alone; family, friends, neighbors, and professionals can always lend a hand.
It's important that you and your loved ones have realistic expectations about the help provided by an assistance dog. Make no mistake, they are amazing animals that do amazing things. While they can make a huge difference to your quality of life, in-depth conversations with your doctor and a professional assistance dog trainer are necessary to determine whether you can get the help you most need from an assistance dog.
Also, while your partner will be highly trained for about two years, and while she'll generally be very well behaved, she won't be perfect. No person is perfect, and no dog is either. She may sometimes need to be controlled in public, she will need to be corrected for service infractions, and again, she may need corrective or additional training at some point.
There are many places across the US from which to source an assistance dog, so choosing a good one is critical. Start by deciding whether you prefer to work with a local trainer or organization, or whether you're comfortable traveling. Remember, partnering with an assistance dog means being immersed in the process of finding a great match and training with her.
You also have to choose between smaller and larger providers. There are advantages and disadvantages with each. For example, smaller and regional organizations usually mean shorter waiting lists and more personalized attention; larger organizations tend to offer more financial assistance thanks to greater donations, access to grants, etc.
Look into whether an organization gets dogs from shelters, too, which is more common with smaller providers. Reputable providers thoroughly screen dogs for health and behavioral concerns, but there may still be unknown background factors that don't exist in the dogs a larger organization breeds itself.
For more information about this aspect of acquiring a guide, hearing, or service dog, please see our article about choosing a reputable assistance dog provider.
Every organization and trainer is unique, and so is each one's process. Often, it begins with sending a letter of interest that explains your situation, needs, and hopes. Sometimes, you can go straight to filling out and submitting an application via the provider's website.
Once your application has been reviewed, the next step is generally to meet with a representative for a chat and interview to further explore your needs and expectations and make initial determinations about what sort of match might be best for you. This is also your chance to evaluate the facility and staff, educate yourself in-depth on the program and its process, and check out some assistance dogs in training and at work. Go to the meeting prepared with a list of your questions.
After your application is approved, you go on the provider's waiting list. You'll be contacted when a fully trained assistance dog that the provider believes is a strong match for you becomes available. An assistance dog's training can range from 3 to 32 months, but it typically takes about 12 to 24 months, and it covers basic and advanced commands.
Training processes and timing differ, but should always at least meet Assistance Dogs International's (ADI) minimum training standards. Training also often includes a temporary living arrangement with a volunteer family who cares for and helps socialize the dog.
Your provider matches you with a dog in full consideration of your best interest and hers. You train with your new partner for one to several weeks to ensure everyone's happy with the match and so you and your assistance dog learn to work together properly. This happens either at the provider's facility or at your own home. There's more structure and support on-site, while training in your home can be more helpful for the transition as you and your partner learn about your new life together.
There's no official certification for assistance dogs, and you don't ever have to provide one for protection under the ADA and other laws. However, your provider may require you and your new partner to pass public access testing to confirm you're both ready to be in a variety of public situations together. ADI's public access test is widely used. The organization or trainer you use may give you certifications that confirm your assistance dog's training and/or passing the public access test.
We hope this has given you some direction in deciding whether an assistance dog might be right for you or your loved one. Don't make the decision lightly, and recognize the extent of the commitment you're making. If the decision to partner with a guide, hearing, or service dog is made for all the right reasons and with realistic expectations, it should work out wonderfully for all parties involved.
Also, be prepared to be persistent. Just because one provider doesn't approve your application of find an appropriate match for you, that doesn't mean this will be true with other providers. Again, each one has its own criteria and processes, so keep at it.

Q: Program doesn't stop after exception I am using eclipse in Ubuntu 12.04. I use some exceptions in my program and when they are caught it gives me cout correctly. But the program continues to the end. Is there a way to stop the program after exception?
This is the code I am using:
try{
        if(BLER==-1) throw 12;
    }catch(int exception){
        cout << "ERROR: BLER value is invalid for x= " << x << ", BLER_input= " << BLER_input << ", m= "<< m << endl;
    }

A: Some solutions:

*

*use return from your function (and do that accordingly to your return value) if you're doing this in the main() routine

*use exit(n) where n is the exit code (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/exit/)

*abort() if that's a critical issue (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/abort/)
Notice: as noted by James Kanze, exit and abort will NOT call the destructors of your local objects. This is worth noticing since you're dealing with classes.

A: If you can / must handle the problem in the current function, you can (and should) terminate right there:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

if ( BLER == -1 )
{
    std::cout << "BLER value is invalid." << std::endl;
    std::exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
}

Exceptions are meant to be thrown when you have an error condition, but no idea how to handle it properly. In this case you throw an exception instead of an integer, optionally giving an indication of the problem encountered in its constructor...
#include <stdexcept>

if ( BLER == -1 )
{
    throw std::runtime_exception( "BLER value is invalid" );
}

...and catch that somewhere up the call tree, where you can give a yet better error message, can handle the problem, re-throw, or terminate at your option). An exception only terminates the program by default if it is not caught at all ("unhandled exception"); that's the whole idea of the construct.
Throwing an integer and catching it in the same function is (ab-)using exceptions as in-function goto.

A: Use the function exit: exit(1);, where 1 is the exit code (normally non-zero signals an error). You can use also abort() if you consider the exception as critical error.

A: try using the return command like this
 return 0 //for successful termination or your preffered int status returned
 //or just
 return;
 //or (C++)
 [std::exit]

A: To stop execution of a program after catching an exception, just call std::exit() in the catch block:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

int main()
try
{
  throw 42;
}
catch(int i)
{
  std::cout << "Caught int: " << i << ". Exiting...\n";
  std::exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

Live demo here.
This works outside of main as well. You can substitute EXIT_FAILURE with any int value you want, portably in the 0-255 range.

A: The catch handler in C++ allows one to handle the error outside the normal execution path for the code. Once handled, C++ assumes it is safe to resume normal operation or the program.
If this is not the case, say you just want to log the error, you are free to rethrow the exception which causes to error to propagate further up the stack.
If the exception does not get caught at all, the C++ function std::terminate will get called. The default behavior is to call abort.
Is probably the best thing to do you your case is just rethrow the exeception by calling throw at the end of the catch block.


All my ceramics are designed, handmade, finished and packaged by me in my home studio.
As my ceramics are completely handmade you will find slight imperfections and marks left by the making process. These contribute to the uniqueness and beauty of the forms and are part of the character of each individual and unique piece.
Care - Hand washing is recommended for hand made ceramics. Stoneware pieces can be cleaned in the dishwasher, but over time, repeated washing will dull the glaze. Unglazed and matte glazed surfaces can become stained if they are in prolonged contact with food, so tableware should be rinsed clean as soon as possible. Terracotta pieces are low fired and therefore still slightly porous, so soaking should be avoided.
Sometimes everything on my page is sold out - so sorry for any disappointment! Making ceramics is a slow process and I am not a production potter, so it often takes me a while to get re-stocked, especially if I am preparing for an exhibition or a design market. I am happy to take enquiries via my contact page, but don't always re-make past work. Unfortunately I don't do custom work.
Original artworks are painted with acrylic and mixed media on wood panels, which are braced, wired and ready to hang. Paintings are varnished with Langridge Wax Varnish to protect against UV damage moisture and dust.
Shipping is free within Australia and a flat rate of $20 for international orders. Unfortunately ceramics and artwork cannot be shipped together due to different packaging requirements.
Currently I am not taking commissions but if you sign up to my newsletter, you will receive previews of new work.

Brussels Airlines, formerly SABENA World Airlines, Belgian airline whose predecessor, SN Brussels Airlines, was formed in 2001 following the bankruptcy of SABENA (Société Anonyme Belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation Aérienne; Belgian Limited-Liability Company for the Development of Aerial Navigation). The airline serves cities in the United States, Europe, and Africa. Its headquarters are in Brussels.
SABENA was formed on May 23, 1923, as Belgium's national carrier and flew its first flight the following year. Its initial efforts in the 1920s were to establish a network across Belgium linking London, England and Cologne, Germany; France and Scandinavia; and the Low Countries and Switzerland. In 1925 air service began within Belgium's major colony, the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), though regularly scheduled service between Brussels and Léopoldville (Kinshasa) did not begin until 1935. World War II interrupted further development, but the postwar recovery led to a new expansion of networks, soon exceeding those of 1939. The Brussels–New York service was inaugurated in 1947. By the early 21st century SABENA's routes reached throughout the Low Countries and the major cities and resorts of Europe and also overseas to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Africa, the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and Japan. SABENA's subsidiaries consisted principally of airlines and hotel chains.
In the late 20th century SABENA began experiencing financial difficulties, and in 1995 a 49.5 percent stake in the airline was sold to Swissair, which was also granted operational control; the Belgian government owned 50.5 percent. Although SABENA in 1998 posted a profit for the first time in a decade, its finances worsened, stemming in part from overexpansion and the decrease in air travel that followed the September 11 attacks of 2001. Swissair then failed to make a promised investment in the Belgian airline in 2001 and later that year declared bankruptcy. Unable to obtain financial backing elsewhere, SABENA went into liquidation in November 2001. Parts of the airline reorganized and flew under the name Delta Air Transport, which was a regional subsidiary of SABENA. Starting in 2002 the new airline operated under the name SN Brussels Airlines, but the carrier changed its name again in 2007 through a merger with Virgin Express, a Belgian airline formerly owned by British entrepreneur Richard Branson. The new carrier, Brussels Airlines, began service in March 2007.

Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Laurinburg, North Carolina?
There are numerous drug and alcohol treatment facilities possibilities to folks living in the Laurinburg area. You will need to recognize each of the types of treatment choices that exist in Laurinburg, AB., to be able to find the suitable rehabilitation approach for yourself or a family member. Choosing the proper alcohol and drug treatment center in Laurinburg is the most important factor in the treatment of substance abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This information will help ensure you understand your numerous rehabilitation choices allowing you to have the maximum potential for an ideal end result.
Let's take a look at the many alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Laurinburg, North Carolina choices that correlate with the condition of the person in search of rehabilitation.
Inpatient drug rehabilitation in Laurinburg, AB. is often a rehab option ideal for people who will need health-related intervention during rehabilitation or individuals with considerable drug use histories. Women and men will experience both mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a short time period, so inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Laurinburg is regarded as the most effective rehabilitation choice in the majority of scenarios. Due to dependence and addiction, men and women will frequently struggle to make a full recovery with the minimal services offered by outpatient treatment centers in Laurinburg, North Carolina where drugs and alcohol continue to be easily accessible when they leave the outpatient center. In addition, men and women in rehabilitation who receive outpatient rehabilitation instead of inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Laurinburg continue to be vulnerable to negative influences and situations which may get in the way of their recovery process. If a person resides with an abusive companion or maintains associations that entail abusing drugs, any rehab endeavours in outpatient rehab will be in vain. This is why in-patient drug and alcohol rehab in Laurinburg, AB. will most certainly produce more tangible outcomes that will prove long lasting contrary to an outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation program where advantages could be very minimal and acute.
In Laurinburg there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. Short-term is a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient drug rehabilitation in Laurinburg, North Carolina is a lot more in depth and rehabilitation can last 3 to 6 months on average. It is really an excellent environment for clients since it is a completely drug-free setting where they're able to heal both mentally and physically without distraction. Ideally, women and men proceed in a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Laurinburg for the optimum period of time permitted, to be able to handle anything that might jeopardize their sobriety once they leave rehab. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can require 2-3 weeks alone, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient drug rehabilitation in Laurinburg will be time spent well and significantly more efficient than short-term programs.
The main factor of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a drug abuse or addiction problem is to do something about it, make calls and seek advice from trained addiction professionals and get an assessment and rehabilitation possibilities to guarantee the biggest opportunity for a recovery.

today I installed for the first time Gentoo on a Sony Vaio PCG-971M, by following this manual http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml: now I'm having some troubles.
While installing Gentoo from stage3 my connection was wired, and all worked fine[/url], but now I want to enable the wireless connection to stay physically in my bed and continue exploring this very interesting distribution.
I considered to use ssh to do that, and using Gentoo from another machine, but I want first try to enable my wireless connection.
Actually I only have eth0 and lo listed by ifconfig. By reading http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=4 I thought maybe by installing wpa_supplicant the driver of wlan0 interface can be auto-installed and work out-of-the-box (but now I'm no more sure of that).
Unfortunately while doing that I was really tired (the installation/kernel-compilation/reading of the manual, takes me 7 hours!) and I only typed "emerge wpa_supplicant" and not "emerge net-wireless/wpa_supplicant" like stands in the manual.
Now this emerge script is working since hours, it will emerge and install 60 (!!!) items. How is this possible? Are all this 60 items needed? If not, how can I safe un-emerge this things? What is all this stuff?
During the installation I runned "net-setup eth0" and my wired connection was quickly and easily configured, now this command is no more available.
Is possible now to do something like this for wlan0?
means that no driver is installed for the wireless NIC.
you will need wpa_supplicant although first you will need a driver for the wireless NIC.
the additional files being merged are required to support installing and running wpa_supplicant as determined by the use flags selected and the ebuild. parts 2,3,4 of the handbook may be of interest.
I don't want to emerge wgetpaste now... is enough if I post the output of those two commands manually?
and post the entry for your wireless.
if a pc card wireless that does not show in lspci find a label or technical manual and identify it.

← Tides Win 4-0 over Chiefs: George Shines While Aubrey and Reimold go Yard
Padre Steve's Tides and Orioles Report: A Look at Where we Stand →
Aubrey Homers and Drives in 4 Runs but Tides Lose 8-5 to Chiefs
Michael Aubrey hit his 11th home run and drove in 4 in the losing effort
Norfolk Tides First Baseman Michael Aubrey is definitely back in fighting form after being injured early in the season and struggling to get his form back. Aubrey has hit 5 home runs is the past 6 games and on Tuesday he turned Harbor Park into his park hitting his 11th home run of the campaign and driving in 4 runs in a losing cause.
Tim Bascom was roughed up again for 6 runs in 1.2 innings
The game began badly for the Tides as starter Tim Bascom was shelled in the 1st and 2nd inning giving up 6 runs on 5 hits, one of which was a 2 run home run to Leonard Davis and 4 walks in just 1.2 innings work. Bascom (2-5 7.39 ERA) who is 0-3 in his last 4 starts giving up 19 runs on 23 hits with 9 walks and 4 home runs in 13.2 innings work with a 12.27 ERA took the loss. His last win was on June 27th against Louisville where he pitched 6 innings giving up 2 runs but living dangerously giving up 11 hits. It is possible that he could be sent back to AA Bowie to get back his confidence and work on his mechanics and if I was in the Orioles management I would do exactly that. With Chris Tillman being optioned back to Norfolk today following the beating that he received at the hands of the Rays on Monday the probability of this move has increased.
Tides relievers Mike Hinckley, Cla Meredith, Alberto Castillo and Denis Sarfate pitched the remaining 7.1 innings giving up 2 runs on 8 hits striking out 7 and walking none.
The Tides were held in check for the first 6 innings but in the 7th came alive. Matt Angle singled to lead off the inning and scored on Robert Andino's 23rd double of the season. Nolan Reimold walked to bring up Michael Aubrey who has turned into a home run machine in the past week. Aubrey belted the ball over the right field wall on a pitch by Chiefs starter Ron Villone who was pulled from the game after the hit. The Tides threatened in the 9th inning when Jeff Salazar walked with one out and moved to third on a single by Nolan Reimold. Michael Aubrey came to the plate and drove in Salazar with a sacrifice fly but Rhyne Hughes struck out to end the game.
The Chiefs had 8 runs on 12 hits with no errors leaving 10 on base. The Tides had 5 runs on 5 hits with 1 error stranding 1 man on base in the losing effort. Tim Bascom (2-5 7.39 ERA) took the loss and Erik Arnesen (3-5 4.35 ERA) was the winning pitcher. The teams meet Wednesday with Troy Patton (6-9 4.91 ERA) on the hill for the Tides against the Chiefs Jason Jones (1-4 4.82 ERA).
Up in Baltimore the O's came back in a see-saw game against the Rays. Down 8-4 in the bottom of the 7th the Orioles tied the game and scored the winning run when Julio Lugo hit a walk off single to score Cesar Izturis with 1 out in the bottom of the 13th inning. Former Tides infielder Scott Moore tied the game in the bottom of the 12 after the Rays had taken a 10-9 lead.

The Masonic Temple in Washington, District of Columbia is a building from 1903. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, and is also on the D.C. Inventory List of Historic Sites. The building currently houses the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

History
The  Masonic temple is a Renaissance Revival style building. The building was the headquarters of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia.  It replaced an older building constructed in 1870 at 9th and F streets (which as of 2013 is still standing).  Initially drafted by architect Waddy B. Wood, the main building was completed in 1908 in an effort to bring the City Beautiful movement to Washington, D.C. Notably, Wood was recognized as being especially supportive of women architects during his lifetime. The lot that was known as "Seven Oaks" was bought for $115,000 in 1899. As the building was originally designed, the upper floors were reserved for Masonic rites, the middle floors were office space, and an auditorium on the first floor was meant to be rented out as a source of income. From 1941 until 1983, the auditorium was used as a public movie theater.

In 1983 the building was put up for sale by the Freemasons and was purchased that year by the National Museum of Women in the Arts.  The interior of the building was renovated, with the auditorium converted into a special events space.  The museum opened in 1987.
