Soup Cleanse > Juice Cleanse
by Soupergirl | Sep 25, 2015 | Uncategorized, Health Tips |
Juice cleanses are the latest fad in the health world, hailed by nutritionists and celebrities alike. Don't get me wrong — it's great to supplement your diet with that cold-pressed kale or beet juice (as long as it's local!). But if you're looking to lose weight or "detoxify" your body, there's many reasons why a diet exclusively made of soup (a Soupergirl cleanse!) is healthier than one that consists solely of vegetable juice. Here are some reasons why a "soup cleanse" is healthier than a "juice cleanse:"
Fiber, fiber, fiber. "Fibre" if you're British. While juices are high in antioxidants and phytonutrients, the process of extracting the liquid from the vegetables also extracts the fiber, which is crucial for healthy digestion and overall functioning of the body. Soup, however, lets those vegetables shine in their full form — fiber and all!
Diversity of nutrients. There's many extremely nutritious ingredients, such as garlic and olive oil, that just don't work in juice form. While it's physically possible to run garlic through the juicer, the taste will be enough to kill several vampires.
Expense. Let's face it. Juice is expensive. And if you're making your own, it takes time. As a sustainable diet over multiple weeks, Soupergirl soup is a much more affordable alternative to juice.
Lasting energy. Vegetable juices can be high in sugar, and while it's not the evil processed kind, it's still enough to cause a brief spike followed by a crash — especially when it's all the body is taking in. Soup that is rich in healthy grains, vegetables, and legumes, however, provides the body with a natural, protein-packed boost of energy that lasts through the day, and leaves the body leaving refreshed and cleansed!
Let us know on our Facebook page if you would like to participate in a "Soupergirl cleanse" and monitor the results — we'd love to help!!

In this modern globalized economy one needs to continuously learn new skills or update otherwise one will lose one's competitive edge. It is very exciting that our new Kalon Tripa plans to have professional development as a top priority. In the past much of our debate within our community was between our goal of independence or autonomy. A basic question we often lacked was about how we will run a future free Tibet? Successful professional development of our community both in Tibet and exile should answer this question. In addition, this would better position us to achieve our goal to manage our own affairs. In the area of professional development I would like to highlight one area of concern.
Many Tibetans in Tibet are currently in professions like subsistence agriculture and nomadism. Occasionally we in exile equate this as part of our cultural preservation. I believe this attitude needs to change just as we do not consider sticking to selling sweaters in exile as cultural preservation.
Of course this is not to endorse the Chinese government's policies to force Tibetan farmers to grow certain types of crops or use this pretext to forcefully resettle Tibetan nomads. However, I believe if there are NGOs or even Chinese government officials/people who are qualified and sensitive to our community, we should support their efforts to help our people adapt to the changing economy. I believe it is in particular important to teach our subsistence farmers and nomads occupations where they can best leverage their skills sets or do better in what they are currently doing.
For example with the degradation of Tibetan grasslands and increase in population there is much pressure on grazing land. Friends who live in the region mentioned that Tibetan nomads even kill each other in disputes over grasslands. There maybe opportunities for NGOs and socially conscious entrepreneurs to develop sectors such as eco tourism which would be a natural fit for Tibetan nomads who know the land and will be great guides to tourists or organizers. Such shifts in occupations for interested nomads should be welcomed or at least different options should be offered.
Similarly our farmers can be given sales advice to get a higher premium for their products in the towns, improved farming technique to increase produce or make value added products for exports and if possible get into the higher margin commodity trading area of the business.
In the early 1900s if one stuck to one's forefather profession of horse carriage manufacturing business one will be having a difficult time to make a living. No amount of improvement can compete with the automobiles. With the recession and globalization it is becoming even more important to adapt and retool oneself. If necessary, one also has to change careers. Proactive adaptation to new skills leveraging on technology and global economic changes will prevent us from becoming marginalized and give us more confidence in dealing with Chinese immigrants.
Prior to 1959 we prayed and pleaded to gods and other foreign countries to protect Tibet. Today if we continue to pray and plead to gods and other foreign countries the results will be no different. I believe the only way we can survive is if we Tibetans focus on becoming competitive (and not on protection). A competitive Tibetan will be like a hot knife cutting through butter. Otherwise, we will be like the Tibetan saying "butter that will lose whether one hits a rock or the rock hits the butter. " Preventing immigration in Tibet is impossible. Many of us in exile are immigrants ourselves to foreign countries and should know better. If Tibetan people in Tibet are able to develop their competitiveness, this alone will allow them to survive. Otherwise, they will become disgruntled and marginalized. This is neither good for Tibet nor China.

We sit down with Professor Gino Dal Pont from the University of Tasmania on Ethics in Practice for Tax Advisers to chat about the keynote speaker presentation he'll be presenting at the upcoming 29th National Convention in March 2014 in Hobart.
I am a Professor at the Faculty of Law at the University of Tasmania, with principal interests in equity and trusts, and professional responsibility. I have also taught tax law on and off for years at the Faculty, and retain a continuing interest in the area.
I was a member in the early 2000s, as well as member of State Council (Tas) and National Education (for one year).
What does National Convention mean to you, and more broadly, to the tax industry?
I cannot comment on the broader industry, but I perceive it as the premier tax conference in Australia.
What is the topic that you are presenting at the 29th National Convention?
I am presenting the Ethical issues for tax practitioners from the perspective of conflicts of interest and conflicts of duty.
Attendees can hopefully secure a heightened perception of the way courts may approach issues of conflicts of interest and conflicts of duty.
Every year in the main common law jurisdictions there is litigation over conflicts of interest and conflicts of duty for lawyers and accountants, which have on various occasions involved tax practitioners. Attendees can expect to receive a current and contextual presentation to this end.
It will assist attendees to understand the engagements they may legitimate undertake, as opposed to those that are ethically and legally questionable.
I am only peripherally knee-deep in tax, and spread my work interests around. Outside of work I attempt a holiday overseas each year.
You're invited to join us in Hobart for the 29th National Convention 26-28 March 2014. The Tax Institute's National Convention is widely recognised as the essential annual event for tax professionals. But hurry! Advanced pricing ends this Friday!

Every industry has its own unique jargon that can seem like a foreign language to someone unfamiliar with it. The construction and real estate worlds are no different, and if you're about to embark upon building and/or purchasing a home you'll want to brush up on the following terminology to help you better understand the processes relating to both.
The APR refers to the interest rate of a mortgage.
Gross income is your total amount of income before any taxes or deductions. Likewise, net income is your total amount of income after taxes and deductions are removed.
A down payment is an upfront (cash) payment of a portion of the property's overall cost.
Closing costs are the fees of ownership transferal, such as lender's fees, property taxes, etc.
A fixed rate means you pay the same amount on your mortgage every month. An adjustable rate means that the payments fluctuate.
The pre-approval process determines a specific amount of money a buyer can borrow, and provides formal documentation of such. Pre-qualification is an informal process that determines how much the buyer might be able to borrow, based upon credit score.
This is the amount of money your lender allows you to borrow.
This is the warranty received through the builder (on a new-build) that insures (or protects) you against systems failing within the home. Warranties vary from builder to builder.
PMI is a protective policy that lenders require of buyers who pay less than 20% for their down payment. Typically, the cost is added into your monthly mortgage payment.
The title is the paper proof of property ownership.
This determines whether or not a buyer is able to obtain a loan on their mortgage.
These are construction rules and regulations set by the governing municipality, required to be met for home and building safety.
This is the formal permission obtained by the builder from the governing municipality, required to begin construction.
This certifies that the construction of the home has met all building codes, passed all inspections, and is safe for occupants.
An acre is a unit of measure: 43,650 square feet.
The elevation is the way the building looks from the outside. Typically, one house plan will have two or three different front elevations.
This is the structured support of the building, and the skeletal outline of the rooms within.
This refers to permanent goods, such as lighting and plumbing.
This is the design for openings in the home, such as windows and doors.
The floor plan is the design or layout of how the home will be set up (rooms, hallways, etc.).
Insulation prevents loss of heat/AC as well as protects the building from exterior elements.
This is the concrete base of the home placed directly on the dirt/ground.
Concrete flatwork refers to poured concrete patios, sidewalks, garages, basements, etc.
Siding is the exposed, decorative (painted) exterior walls on a house.
The truss is the support for the roof of the house.
Understanding this terminology is the first step towards successful home building. Sheffield Homes is dedicated to providing homeowners and home builders with outstanding service and quality construction that transcend the mainstream. We serve homeowners in the Denver metro area and northern Colorado. If you are interested in learning more about this process, or if you have further questions regarding your custom home, contact us today.

I don't want to like it, but I do – HubNut – celebrating the average!
The Land Rover Freelander is a car I really don't want to like, but must admit that I do.
The whole idea of soft-roaders is fairly disagreeable after all. If you want an off-roader, buy an off-roader. If you want a chariot to take the kids to school, buy an MPV. Your kids will probably be safer in it for a start. The whole idea of buying a 4×4 to use for anything other than heavy towing or off-roading does seem peculiar. It'd be like picking a stilleto as the ideal shoe for running a marathon.
So, the type of vehicle it is certainly grates. What else? Ah yes. The fact that it's quite rubbish. Engines consist of head-gasket blowing petrols (1.8 K-Series or KV6 if you're really brave), and really quite good diesels. Don't get carried away though, as the transmissions seem to have all the robustness of a Citroen BX 4×4, and there's no low-range option. You do get hill descent, but that's a bit like making friends with your computer rather than actual people. And it's so dangerous on ice and very slippy surfaces that the handbook tells you not to use it. "Just stay in with a cup of tea and a nice book," it says. Possibly.
Build quality is also what you'd expect from Solihull. Rubbish. Bits will fall off and electrical components will impress with the way that they fail. On the plus side, all these problems mean that there are lots of forums where owners share their latest disasters and look for a shoulder to cry on.
Yet I really like them. That must come down purely to the looks. They got this one about spot on really. It looks like someone took the Vauxhall Frontera Sport – another 4×4 I'm sadly quite fond of – and gave it a smart makeover. The front end is chunky and menacing without being threatening, the 3-door looks solid and purposeful and the rear end, despite what should be complete and utter tail-lamp carnage, looks really quite pleasant. The gimmicky drop-down rear door glass is the sort of gimmick I hate myself for liking.


Some of the best theater at a golf tournament — especially on the PGA Tour Champions — isn't the final putt on 18 or a holed bunker shot. It's the stories on the practice range. Perfected over time, told again and again, the tales elicit hearty laughs, not-safe-for-print nicknames, firm backslaps and occasionally a pause for reflection.
Such was the case Monday at TPC Twin Cities when the handful of players already in town for this week's 3M Championship offered thoughts on 2001 tournament winner Bruce Lietzke, who died Saturday after a 15-month battle with a rare brain tumor known as glioblastoma.
Indeed, stories are ample of Lietzke's aversion to putting in much time on the craft away from the course. Yet, he won 13 times on the PGA Tour and another seven events after turning 50, including the 2003 U.S. Senior Open.
His final victory on the regular tour came at the 1994 Las Vegas Invitational, then a 90-hole event. Lietzke shot 28 under, beating Robert Gamez by a shot.
And not just on the golf course.
University of Houston teammate Fuzzy Zoeller remembers their fishing excursions just as much as golf successes.
Monday's pro-am featured a handful of local sports celebrities, with former Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway and Vegas Golden Knights forward Erik Haula drawing the most eyeballs among onlookers.
Haula, who played for Shattuck-St. Mary's, the Gophers and the Wild before his 55-point season helped the Knights to the Stanley Cup Final, warmed up next to Hall of Fame defensive tackle John Randle, who marveled at Haula's striped practice shots.
"Look at right here — The Great One!" Randle beamed.

Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) had lasting impact on natural resource management and policy in the early to mid-twentieth century and his influence has continued to expand since his death. It was through his observation, experience, and reflection at his Wisconsin river farm that he honed the concepts of land health and a land ethic that have had ever-growing influence in the years since his death. He published more than five hundred articles and three books during the course of his geographically widespread career, but it was time at his shack and farm in Wisconsin that inspired most of the disarmingly simple essays in A Sand County Almanac that so many have found so thought-provoking.
The Aldo Leopold Foundation was founded in 1982 by Aldo Leopold's children--Starker, Luna, Nina, Carl, and Estella. The Leopolds all became respected scientists and conservationists in their own right. They established the foundation primarily because they realized that the shack and farm would be a focal point for their father's legacy for generations to come. A 501(c)(3) public charity, ALF owns and manages the Leopold Center, including the Leopold Shack and 264 surrounding acres in addition to several other parcels, and also manages much of the adjoining 1,800-acre Leopold Memorial Reserve established by neighboring landowners as an early land trust in 1967. It acts as the executor of Leopold's literary estate, encourages scholarship on Leopold, and serves as a clearinghouse for information regarding Leopold, his work, and his ideas. It provides interpretive resources and tours for some 5,000 visitors annually, cooperates with partners on education and other off-site programming, and maintains a robust website and numerous print resources. The Aldo Leopold Foundation manages this Goodreads page.
Leopold's life story, the development of his career as a conservationist, scientist, writer and philosopher, and his open-mindedness, his vision, and the evolution of his thinking throughout his life inspire others to start or further their own intellectual journey of discovery. A closer engagement with Leopold's story, his writing, and the place that inspired him and his family helps people better to understand the contours of American environmental history and the role of nature in American culture, and to reflect on their own place in the complex weave of the way our society relates to land. Leopold's vision of a society that cares about people, land, and the connections between them provides a starting point for thinking about modern-day cultures, economies, ecosystems, and communities.

This is one of the first chapter books I read as a kid, when I was in grade one or two. I read a lot of books about dogs back then. You know, where the dog is the hero None of the classics in that genre, if you're wondering, at least none that I can recall. Anyway, Have Spacesuit Will Travel is about a young boy, Kip, who wins a real, albeit really run down and useless, space suit in a contest. He rebuilds it and gets into an exciting alien adventure where he has to use his intelligence to prevail. The title is a take-off of the cowboy show Have Gun – Will Travel. Kip is your typical 1950s science hero but being your atypical 1980s kid I loved it. This is the book that got me into reading science-fiction. I never really read any more Heinlein, though. I was more of an Asimov fan.
I think this is my Dad's favorite science-fiction novel. He told me to read it at least once a year for years and I never did. Until I read The Art of War and I wondered if it had any connection. I confess I don't remember too much about it and I'm not even sure if it is related to The Art of War. I seem to remember being disappointed that it wasn't related. I do remember it having some cool bio-feedback ideas in it and an interesting idea about military strategy. Mostly I remember it for it's cover. I wish I could find a better quality image of it. It has one bad dude on the cover.
Only when [the mythological Proteus] was captured and constrained to a particular manifestation could the future be determined with certainty … strangely reminiscent of the collapse of the quantum-mechanical wave function.
Sometimes, late at night, I'm afraid I sound like that.
I like the new site design. I think. I feel like I'm hanging upside down in mid-air.Your post has inspired me to post about three books I got from MY dad, one of these days.


From now until basically the end of the school year, the Flaten Art Museum is host to the Senior Studio Art Show. This capstone display features works from all of the graduating studio art majors, who curated selections of their work to be displayed in the Center for Art and Dance (CAD).
The display is not only confined to the inside of the Flaten Art Museum. The senior show also extends into the Groot Gallery, and a kite-inspired installation by Bess Clement '18 hangs across the ceiling of the space between. There is also a continuation of the the showcase downstairs in the lower level of CAD.
Unlike many other Flaten Art Museum shows – which usually center around a theme, such as Meg Ojala's recent exhibition on art inspired by bogs and fens – the Senior Show is as diverse in content, themes and styles as the artists themselves. For example, Jon Pfeifer '18 created illustrations that depict people in awkward situations as cartoonish monsters, to reflect the humility of those kinds of moments. Mary Koehler '18 constructed an ornate, circular, three-dimensional frame that zeroes in on a sketch notebook. Alex Madsen '18 built a vaguely transparent room out of wood and plastic. And these are just a few of the works on display right now.
There are also paintings that celebrate femininity, undoctored photographs promoting the beauty of racial diversity, ceramics that represent nostalgia for one's upbringing and so many other wonderful displays.
The Senior Studio Art Show will continue to be on display in the Flaten Art Museum, the Groot Gallery and the lower level of CAD until May 28. Admission is, of course, free as always.


Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman 2 Interview - Patty Jenkins Says Wonder Woman 2 "Totally Different Movie"
Patty Jenkins appears to be on board to direct, thank god.
It takes place in the '80s—but not the spandex wearing, giant hair '80s. More like the Cold War, this could be an episode of The Americans, '80s.
Chris Pine might be in it.
So basically, information is pretty sparse—which is why we're so excited that Patty Jenkins is finally opening up about the movie and spilling details. Very, very small details, but details nonetheless—the most important of which is that Wonder Woman 2 won't be anything like its predecessor.
"The most exciting thing about [the sequel] is literally seeing her loose in the world now, living those classic stories," Jenkins said during a recent interview. "'Here's Wonder Woman, and what can she do?' It should be a totally different movie, but a grand and now full-blown Wonder Woman in the world."
This seems to imply that Diana Prince will have lost some of the lovable naiveté that she captured so well in the first film, and will be much more aware of how completely unique she is. It'll be interesting to see if this shift changes her character/attitude, especially as it relates to her embrace of femininity. You can read more about that below, and in the meantime: CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE.

Ex-NSA Worker Accused of Stealing Trove of Secrets Offers to Plead Guilty
Posted January 3, 2018 8:36 p.m. EST
By SCOTT SHANE, New York Times
BALTIMORE — A veteran cybersecurity specialist for the National Security Agency and other intelligence organizations, accused of taking thousands of secret documents home over two decades, has decided to plead guilty later this month to a single charge that could carry a 10-year sentence.
But under the terms laid out by prosecutors, the intelligence contractor, Harold T. Martin III, would have no guarantee that the government will drop 19 additional felony charges. Martin appears to be making an unusual gamble that his penitence and cooperation will eventually persuade prosecutors to dismiss the rest of the indictment.
According to court filings on Wednesday, Martin is expected to plead guilty Jan. 22 before Judge Marvin J. Garbis of U.S. District Court to one count of willful retention of national defense information in connection with his taking home a single classified NSA document. But charges involving 12 other NSA documents, five from the military's Cyber Command, and one each from the CIA and the National Reconnaissance Office, would remain in place.
A detailed letter filed by prosecutors in federal court marks a step toward resolution of a highly embarrassing case that exposed gaping holes in the government's system for safeguarding secrets.
Martin, 52, described by his own lawyers as a compulsive hoarder, took home highly classified documents from the NSA and other agencies beginning in the late 1990s, stashing them on paper, hard drives and flash drives in his house in Glen Burnie, Maryland; a shed in his yard; and his car. His serial theft, totaling a staggering 50 terabytes of data, went undetected until his arrest Aug. 27, 2016.
Martin had worked for the NSA's hacking unit, then known as Tailored Access Operations, and the material he took included most or all of the agency hacking tools that ended up being offered for sale on the internet by a group calling itself the Shadow Brokers.
In the scramble to trace the breach, investigators stumbled upon Martin's thefts. But officials have said investigators have been unable to prove a connection between Martin and the Shadow Brokers, who are widely suspected to have ties to Russian intelligence.
The Shadow Brokers disclosures, which continued for more than a year, have been devastating for the NSA, where morale has been hurt by the continuing hunt for a possible leaker. The stolen tools have been used by North Korea and Russia to carry out cyberattacks around the world.
If Martin can convince investigators that he had nothing to do with the Shadow Brokers' disclosures and assist them in other ways, he may be able to limit his exposure at sentencing. The prosecutors' letter, however, says that his proposed guilty plea "does not preclude" the use of any admissible evidence "at the defendant's trial on the remaining 19 counts of the indictment."
A schedule laid out by Garbis sets dates for continuing legal action on the additional charges after the Jan. 22 plea hearing. Martin's lawyer, James Wyda, the federal public defender for Maryland, declined to comment. Prosecutors did not respond to a request for comment.
Martin's lawyers have indicated that they will argue for a lesser sentence on the grounds that he suffers from a mental disorder that caused him to take the material home year after year; that he never tried to give it to the news media, a foreign country or anyone else; and that he is a Navy veteran and a patriot who served his country for years.
But prosecutors may be loath to offer leniency for Martin's repeated, brazen violations of his secrecy oath. He is charged with taking a volume of information that dwarfs even the data taken by Edward Snowden, the NSA contractor who fled the country in 2013 with hundreds of thousands of secret documents and gave them to journalists. They may also be wary of a condemning tweet from President Donald Trump, who has vowed to be tough on leakers and has shown no reluctance to criticize his own Justice Department.
After the disclosures by Snowden, who lives in exile in Russia and faces charges should he ever return to the United States, NSA officials spent millions of dollars toughening security and installing software to detect unusual downloads. But Martin appears to have blithely continued his theft of secrets without trouble from the stepped-up safeguards.
In addition to Martin, two other former NSA workers have been charged with illegally removing classified material from the agency, which eavesdrops on foreign communications and hacks into computer networks overseas.
Last month, Nghia H. Pho, 67, of Ellicott City, Maryland, pleaded guilty to one count of willful retention of national defense information. He is scheduled for sentencing in April. His case revealed what officials believe was the use of Kaspersky Lab anti-virus software by Russian intelligence officials to steal classified documents from Pho's home computer.
In addition, Reality L. Winner, 26, awaits trial on charges that she took a classified NSA document about Russian hacking attacks on a voting software company and sent it to the online publication The Intercept last year.
Those cases do not appear to be related to either the Shadow Brokers disclosures or a parallel leak of hacking-related documents from the CIA to WikiLeaks, which has published them under the names Vault7 and Vault8.
The repeated loss of extremely sensitive material on a large scale from two agencies has raised questions about whether it is possible for the government to protect secrets from determined hackers or insiders who have a political or financial motive to divulge them.

TSS Canterbury was a ferry completed in 1929 to link the Golden Arrow and La Flèche d'Or trains to form the prestige London–Dover–Calais–Paris service.

Construction

The ship was built as first class only passenger ferry by William Denny & Bros of Dumbarton, Scotland for the Southern Railway.

Service

The ship entered service simultaneously with the Golden Arrow rail service.  At this time she was first class only, and while having a capacity of 1700, her projected loadings were expected to be less than 400.

The ship was modified to accommodate two classes of passengers from May 1931, at the same time as third class carriages were introduced on the Golden Arrow train.

Following the Golden Arrow last trip after the declaration of the Second World War, Canterbury was converted to a troop ship.  On 29 May 1940 after departing the east pier at Dunkirk at 16:50 with 1960 troops Canterbury was badly damaged by a bomb near miss but was able to reach Dover.  Following repairs she continued with the evacuation on 3 June 1940 completing five trips for the evacuation.  She then performed some sailings from Southampton evacuations to Normandy and Brittany until the middle of June before resting on the River Dart and serving as a target practice ship of the Fleet Air Arm and a period on the Stranraer–Larne route.

From June 1942, she undertook an eight-month conversion to a troop landing ship and took part in the June 1944 Normandy landings.

Postwar, she initially returned to the Golden Arrow service, but was replaced in October 1946 by the Southern Railways flagship  following that ship's refurbishment.  Canterbury served on the Folkestone–Calais run, and in 1948 moved to the Calais–Boulogne route until retirement in 1964. In 1948, Canterbury became the first English Channel ferry to be equipped with radar.

Fate

The ship was broken up in 1965.

Preservation

The ship's bell and a Second World War memorial plaque are held by the National Railway Museum.

In fiction
In 1951 she made an appearance as the cross-channel ferry in the British comedy film The Lavender Hill Mob.

Reinvention is the mantra of our demographic. It seems that mid-life has made us more interested in creating a higher level of satisfaction in our lives.
Starting in a new direction requires evaluating where we are now and where we want to be in the next few weeks, months, and years.
We're putting together the Flashionista 2011 Reinvention Plan. We'll give it to you a little at a time starting with the 2 most important tools.
Learn how to change the channel. Turn off negative thinking. This is the toughest challenge of all. The biggest measure of success is how strongly we believe in our own capabilities. The mind is a powerful engine of change. If it's exposed to a constant loop of negative thinking and self-doubt that's what it starts to believe.
Have a personal commercial ready to play. The antidote to the negative loop is a positive one. Anthony Robbins built an empire on NPL (neuro-linguistic programming), but it was just a new term for an old idea that worked; changing how we think can change our lives. Learning how to re-program self-doubt into positive forward personal momentum is the key to a successful reinvention.
Self-talk is powerful when it's believable.
We asked psychologist, Dr. Michael C. Friedman how to create a realistic picture of optimism about ourselves that we can work with. READ IT HERE.


12 National teams from throughout Europe were confirmed to play in the European Championship Men`s 2015, which started on 03 of July in Basildon, UK.
This year, teams were offered the opportunity to play the new M500 format. This new format sees a limit on the amount of paint used in the game and has no influence on other Tournament Regulations. According to M500 format, each player may have on the field only a loader and 2 pods full of paint. This gives the players a possibility to significantly reduce their expenses on paint.
There was a great prize for winners, provided by EPBF: the top 4 teams received the opportunity to fly to Malaysia to participate in the World Cup 2015 after the European Championship Men`s 2015! EPBF took the responsibility to cover the team's flights, hotel accommodation, and the entry fee.
The teams were placed in three groups of four teams each, to play the remaining three in their group. The two best-placed teams from each group along with the two best-placed third place teams advanced to the Quarterfinals.
The seeding was prepared on the basis of the National teams participation and results in European Championship Men`s 2014.
National teams gave their fans many reasons to count down the minutes until the Semi-final games! Despite there being no surprises during the Preliminary games, spectators witnessed a lot of exciting moments during the Quarters.
Such countries as France, Russia, Germany and Great Britain were optimistic, as they came to Quarters from the top places in their groups, together with Norway and Belgium. But no one was expecting Poland and Austria to join this top-six as the wild card 3rd places!
Spectators strongly supported the UK National team, who were playing on their domestic field, but even that strong support did not lead the team into the semi-finals, Great Britain lost to Belgium 1: 4.
The spectators even jumped ahead momentarily when Austria defeated Russia 4-3 and threw them out of the Semis. Norway did just the same to Germany (4:2).
Probably for the first time in the European Championship history, the Semi-final games were exciting, hard and totally unpredictable. European Multi-Champion France snatched the final point from Germany during the overtime in a super-complicated battle (4:3). No one could predict the outcome of this game. Austria edged out Norway 4-3 in the same circumstances. Neither Germany nor Norway let their opponents to score easy points.
The French National team`s players were able to recover from setbacks and prepared themselves for the final game – they bet Austria 4:2 in Finals. Despite the loss to France, Austria took second place in the European Championship Men`s 2015.
We believe that France, Austria, Belgium and Norway will write a new chapter in their constantly evolving success story later this year when participating in the Official Paintball World Cup in Malaysia at the end of October!
As usual, we are grateful to all the participants: to the Millennium Series for the support provided for the European Championship organization, to National Teams and also to all the National Federations involved in the organization; and those who helped to produce the very best paintball atmosphere ever - THE SPECTATORS!
We are also grateful to the Euroref guys for their hard referee work.
Also please read Important changes for European Championships in 2015 in order to prepare for the European Championship Men`s.
- 1000 EUR for non-affiliated National Federations.
Players can order the National teams jerseys from any manufacturers they like. The National teams jerseys should meet the requirements of 2015 National Jersey Template.
IMPORTANT: The decision has been made about an exception for Paintball Jerseys Manufacturers logo, so it can be printed as Non-paintball Sponsors logo.
Participants: Men National Teams only, consisting of players from that nationality, but from different club teams.
Format: Race to 4 - M500.
Qualification system: Will be available later.
If you see that this is what you and lacking in existence. Just try it order cialis online and with a high possibility you will not regret. Stage passes much for you.

Enormous X-ray bubbles balloon from the center of the Milky Way
in Space & Astronomy
by Philippa Kaur 9 December 2020, 15:00 199 Views
Two giant, mysterious bubbles spew from the Milky Way's heart, and now it appears the bubbles may have doubles.
Scientists have known for a decade that two bubbles of charged particles, or plasma, flank the plane of the Milky Way. Those structures, known as the Fermi bubbles after the telescope that detected them, are visible in high-energy light called gamma rays (SN: 11/9/10). But now, the eROSITA X-ray telescope has revealed larger bubbles, seen in X-rays. The X-ray bubbles extend about 45,000 light-years above and below the center of the galaxy, researchers report online December 9 in Nature.
Previously, researchers had seen an X-ray arc above the galactic plane (SN: 7/8/20). But no such feature was evident below the plane of the galaxy. That lack of symmetry led some scientists to discount the possibility of X-ray bubbles. With the new results, "this argument now has fallen," says study coauthor Andrea Merloni, an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany. The eROSITA data reveal a faint and previously unknown bubble below the galactic plane, and a matching bubble above. The gamma-ray bubbles are nested inside the X-ray bubbles, suggesting that the two features are connected, says Merloni.
Studying the bubbles could help reveal violent events that may have taken place in the galaxy's past. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way is currently fairly quiet, as far as black holes go. But a past feeding frenzy might have spewed its leftovers outward, forming the structures. Or the bubbles could have been the result of a period when many stars formed and exploded in the galaxy's heart. Further study of the X-ray and gamma-ray bubbles could help reveal the cause.

Blind since birth, Schuur developed an early fondness for country music as a child growing up in suburban Seattle. But the vocal stylist who influenced her bold and remarkably clear singing style was a jazz titan, an artist Schuur is still regularly compared to: the pre-eminent 1950s-era vocalist/pianist Dinah Washington.
"Oh, she was a great influence on me," Schuur said. "She was the first influence, really. There is such a strident, joyful sound that came across in the way she delivered a song. Even with the blues, there was a joyful kind of passion. It was just wonderful. I think people pick up on the fact that I have the same kind of thing."
If Washington's music helped guide Schuur's sense of vocal passion and songcraft, two very different artists helped set her career in motion. The first was genre-breaking jazz saxophonist Stan Getz. The other was a vocal star who knew a sharp singer when he heard one: Frank Sinatra.
Schuur honors both artists on her most recent recording, 2014's I Remember You (With Love to Stan and Frank).
"Stan was a very interesting individual. He could be the sweetest person in the world, or he could be a curmudgeon. He used to tell me that less is more — in other words, try to bring simplicity, have the performance be understated, like he was in his playing.
"Frank and I performed in 1988 at a benefit his wife put on. Liza Minnelli wasn't going to be able to make the date, so they asked me. So I went to Palm Springs — traveled there, I think, from somewhere in Oklahoma. It was my first trip to Palm Springs. Little did I know that I was going to wind up living there. We did the gig, Quincy Jones conducted the orchestra, and it was a lot of fun."
But the orchestra that brings Schuur to Danville on Friday night has maintained a longstanding partnership with the singer. The 1987 album Diane Schuur and the Count Basie Orchestra won Schuur her second Grammy. It teamed her with saxophonist, arranger and Basie alumnus Frank Foster (who took over the Basie Orchestra from Thad Jones in 1986) and the sublime Basie swing jazz guitarist Freddie Green, who died a week after the sessions with Schuur were completed.
"I was in Columbus, Ohio, doing a gig that night at the Major Chord (a short-lived jazz club that closed in 1989). A friend of mine called and said, 'You just won the Grammy for best (jazz) female vocalist, second time in a row.' Of course, I was just really thrilled. That night at Major Chord, Joe Williams happened to be in town and sat in. It was a very interesting time.
"I've worked with the Basie Orchestra through the years for the last couple of decades. Now we've got an opportunity to do so again in Kentucky. I'm pretty excited about it, too."

A Diverse World Of B&BS In BC
Margo Pfeiff
Watch porpoises play from the deck of a seaside retreat; smell homemade bread in rustic ranch luxury; wriggle your toes in beach sand alongside a toasty lakeside fire pit; savor a breakfast of Eggs Benedict with candied salmon while a moose grazes outside the window. Up close and personal moments like this — and getting to know the folks who make them possible — are what brings a trip to life. "Bed and breakfast inns reflect their owner's lifetime of experience, and that is exactly what a B&B traveler wants," says Evan Penner, president of British Columbia's B&B Innkeepers Guild, "and with so much diversity of landscape and character in this province, you're bound to find what you're looking for." Penner should know. He operates the West End Guest House, an elegant immersion into downtown Vancouver's Victorian heritage.
Across BC, innkeepers are making their own special dreams come true, then sharing them with others. Steve Schweighofer and Michel Wagner did just that a short drive outside Victoria. Their spectacular West Coast retreat with high vaulted ceilings is nestled in the rainforest of southern Vancouver Island with views of the mountains of the Olympic Peninsula. "We call Cougar's Crag an 'extreme B&B' because it's all about the outdoors," says Steve. For seven years the pair have hosted hikers and cyclists who come for hundreds of nearby trails including the Galloping Goose. Their two spacious units with lofts and their own entrances to guarantee privacy in the wilderness have been a Mecca for kayakers, beach walkers and especially dog-lovers who enjoy free doggie daycare and wash facilities.
A two-hour road trip including a scenic ferry ride north from Vancouver up the Sunshine Coast, Stonehaven is a dramatic architectural gem perched overlooking Halfmoon Bay, a contemporary B&B of glass, wood and stone. Watch grey whales, sea lions and seals from your own private deck while bald eagles soar overhead. After a gourmet breakfast is delivered to your suite, stroll down three levels of stone patios to the sandy beach, go for a paddle or play billiards in front of the fireplace in the common Club Room. This can be a romantic getaway complete with spa treatments, or an active one. In winter, strap on snowshoes or cross-country skis, then return to warm up in the oceanside hot tub to watch the sun go down.
Heading inland to the Kootenay Rockies, Mirja Vahala has a unique offering: "Call me in advance to arrange classes in acrylic, oil, watercolor painting or drawing while you're here," says the artist whose studio and gallery, Inspiring Minds, is part of Windborne B&B in Castlegar. Vahala is as passionate about art as her husband, Marc Conacher, is about gardening and cooking killer breakfasts like sautéed balsamic pears with brie and cranberry sauce, or mushroom and wine chorizo omelet's. Together, they create a one-off experience at their art-themed B&B with its 60 meters (197 feet) of beachfront on the Columbia River. Arrow Lake is minutes away for summer playing and in winter, there is world class downhill skiing at Red Mountain Resort and Whitewater Ski Resort.
Not far away in the Thompson Okanagan region, Clearwater Springs Ranch is a recent dream-come-true for Sandie and Neil Robinson. For years they owned a safari lodge in Zambia, but longed to run a wilderness outpost in BC. They found a 121-hectare (300 acre) piece of paradise surrounded by the forests and mountains of Wells Grey Park and immediately immigrated. Their B&B opened in 2010, a classic log home with a huge fieldstone fireplace and silence broken only by the sound of a distant waterfall.
Telescopes and binoculars are never far away to zoom in on wolves, bears, sandhill cranes and moose. Clearwater Springs Ranch is a little world on its own with a gym and a literature-filled library with relics from the couple's African past. Hike, horseback ride, canoe or whitewater raft in summer or, in winter, go dog sledding or snowshoeing after a full English breakfast. Return for afternoon tea, cakes and biscuits and follow-up with a hot tub soak. Then head back to spacious suites — each one different — furnished with handmade wooden furniture and antiques and tuck yourself into rustic four-poster luxury.
Rustic is a common theme and lifestyle in BC's Cariboo region to the north. So the Kroekers decided to do something different. "Many Cariboo B&Bs are very casual, log cabin-type accommodations," says Deborah whose husband Vance built their home and one-room suite at Sheridan Lake Bed and Breakfast, about six hours northeast from Vancouver. It opened in October 2010. "We wanted to offer luxury, pampering and something completely private on the lake." The modern five-star king-bed suite has its own entrance with a queen-sized sleeping-loft, fireplace, fully appointed kitchenette, large pedestal soaker-tub and a spacious, secluded lake-front courtyard where you can spoil yourself with a manicure and pedicure. At your own private dock, a canoe, kayaks and row boat await a paddler in search of wildlife and serenity.
In Northern BC's big sky country near Prince George, Norton North Ranch is a creative surprise among ranch-themed B&Bs. The Norton family has been ranching since the 1800s when they drove cattle north from Texas. Their current ranch/B&B dates back to the 1950s and these days they concentrate on horses. In fact, the establishment is BYOH — Bring Your Own Horse — and the Corral Cottage even has its own paddock.
Open the door to each of the three traditional ranching cabins — especially the newly renovated Old Logbarn — and you'll gasp at the chic modern interior. "We wanted luxury in a rustic shell," says Dagmar Norton, known for her welcome basket of fluffy warm cinnamon buns. "We wanted to preserve the heritage exterior, but offer a contemporary interior that would make you open the door and say 'Oh my God!'"
The Nortons call themselves a "bed & bale" place because breakfast isn't included, though they'll create an epic one anytime — 24 hours a day. "It's a voluptuous breakfast," Norton confesses. And even with a full kitchen with granite counters, a convection oven and dishwasher, who wouldn't spoil themselves with a spread of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and home-baked bread with cold cuts and cheese delivered to your room, dressed up pretty like the traditional German breakfast that it is?

The BSE Information Technology index ended 3.40 per cent down at 10,604.47 on Tuesday after the Nasdaq-listed Cognizant Technology Solutions, a IT service provider issued a weak sales forecast. Cognizant, whose rivals include Indian IT services firms such as Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys Ltd said the financial services sector was off to a slow start this year.
Shares of IT majors Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services closed 3.46 per cent down at Rs 1109.30 and 3.68 per cent down at Rs 2281.45, respectively. Take Solutions and Tech Mahindra settled 6.12 per cent down at Rs 145.85 and 4.89 per cent down at Rs 447.65, respectively.
IT services provider Cognizant Technology Solutions forecast its slowest quarterly revenue growth in 14 years for the year 2016, adding to mounting worries about clients keeping a tight lid on technology spending. The share price of Cognizant Technology plunged 7.67 per cent to $54.05 on Monday.
Cognizant which provides both full year and quarterly guidance has projected revenue growth in the range of 10-14 per cent for 2016 as compared to 21 per cent it recorded for the year 2015. The company ended 2015 with a revenue of $12.42 billion and net profit of $1.62 billion.
Even for the first quarter of 2016, Cognizant expects revenue growth to be in the range of -1.5% to 0.3%, indicating a very flattish growth. The three months between January and March is generally considered to be a strong period for the company.

Jose Mourinho should replace Sir Alex at Manchester United according to fans
A few weeks ago we asked which manager should replace Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm of Manchester United when he retires. In hindsight it was a pretty silly question but we thought it was good to get it out there anyway.
An overwhelming 78% of you felt that Jose Mourinho just has to be the next manager with Pep Guardiola, the current manager of Barcelona, coming in second with 9% of the votes. Next up was Old Trafford Legend Eric Cantona, who despite not managing a football club, gained a share of 5%.
Our former Skipper and hardman, Roy Keane was up next with 3%, followed by Martin O'Neill, Luis Van Gaal of Bayern Munich and Ottmar Hitzfeld, who now managers Switzerland we believe.
Whilst the answer was resoundingly obvious, bringing Jose Mourinho to Old Trafford will not be easy, especially if Sir Alex Ferguson calls it a day at the end of this season. Should Real Madrid win some decent silverware this season then you can back the board there to want to keep Mourinho on.
Although most managers never really last for than a few years at most, should Sir Alex feel that the next three years will be his last, then the board will likely be adding Jose's name to a list that should contain no more than two or three names at most.
No one can imagine United without Sir Alex, for many of us it is what we were born with, others have seen the lows before Sir Alex joined the club, but the time will come, that is guaranteed, what United must guarantee is that they have the very best replacement ready and willing, and not just for a few years, but for at least a good decade.

Mother says son died after rationing insulin, now she fights to lower prices
Posted 9:20 am, May 15, 2018, by Ashton Edwards and Tribune Media Wire
ST. PAUL, Minn. – A mother from Minnesota is fighting to lower the price of insulin after a devastating loss just last year, KARE reports .
Nicole Smith-Holt said she lost her 26-year-old son, Alec, from diabetic ketoacidosis last year. She said he'd been rationing his insulin due to the high cost of the drug.
Alec aged out of his parents' insurance coverage June 1, 2017, according to KARE. She said with no insurance, his medical costs would have been about $2,000 per month.
"He was actually found dead in his apartment on June 27," said Smith-Holt. "So he lasted 27 days not being covered."
Saturday, Smith-Holt rallied with other families at the Minnesota Capitol in an effort to lower the price of insulin and to encourage more transparency from pharmaceutical companies regarding how much it costs to make the drugs they sell.
"I should be with my son," she said. "I should not have had to bury him at such a young age. No parent should have to bury their children."

An all-woman team of six engineering undergraduate students at MIT has created an inexpensive, hand-held device prototype that provides real-time translation of printed text to Braille -- which could greatly increase accessibility of written materials for the blind.
Team Tactile was one of the winners of the Lemelson-MIT Student Prize this year for their creation, which translates printed text into the raised-dot language.
Here [is] how it works: The device has an internal camera that takes photos of the printed text, which is then converted into digital text using optical character recognition software. Next, the text is translated into Braille, and a mechanical system raises and lowers pins on the surface of the Tactile that form the characters to be read by ones fingertips.
Though the current version is limited in the number of characters it can translate and display, the team hopes to make the device capable of scanning an entire page at a time and displaying two lines of text at once.
In a world of audiobooks and text-to-audio technology, why is Braille still important? Though audio systems are easier to use, they don't instill the same understanding of language as a written system like Braille does. Studies have shown that Braille literacy significantly improves employment opportunities for the blind -- but right now, less than 10% of blind Americans can read it.
Part of the problem is that creating Braille texts is costly, greatly limiting choices for the visually impaired. The Tactile device has the potential to open up entire libraries of books to the blind. And while there are products on the market that translate digital texts to Braille, there are some drawbacks. Not all documents are available electronically. Also, these devices are very expensive and are designed to work with laptops and computers, making them less than portable. Team Tactile hopes to make their handheld translator available for less than $200.
The six women -- Chen Wang, Chandani Doshi, Grace Li, Jessica Shi, Charlene Xia and Tania Yu -- met freshman year at MIT. The original Tactile was the result of a hackathon they entered "as a team of friends just for fun."
Now, [they are] receiving patent help and mentorship through Microsoft's #MakeWhatsNext, a program that encourages talented women who are creating technology for positive change. Though all six team members are graduating this year, they hope to continue working on the Tactile -- and their larger ambition: to "improve the world, one innovative solution at a time."

Everything's different this year—so why not holiday stress?
How to help your family deal with 2020's special seasonal anxiety
By Vicky Hallett
All the shiny wrapping paper in the world can't cover up what's coming for families this holiday season: canceled traditions, travel restrictions, quarantines, nasal swabs, and plenty of disputes over masked gatherings versus mass gatherings.
Throw in a kid who can't hug grandma, and you're looking at something more like the least wonderful time of the year.
The darker, shorter days of November and December often usher in an uptick in stress levels, especially for folks navigating complex family dynamics and tight budgets, says psychologist Michi Fu, a professor at California's Alliant International University. Unfortunately, the ongoing health and economic crisis will almost certainly exacerbate these problems.
According to a report from the American Psychological Association, 67 percent of Americans say their stress has increased over the course of the pandemic. Nearly one in five adults say their stress level is higher than it was at the same time last year, with parents in particular pointing to their children's school situation as a key source of stress.
Experts worry that the combination of the usual holiday stress and pandemic-related anxiety is a prescription for a very unhealthy holiday, for both parents and children. But by acknowledging that this season has its own unique challenges and focusing on things you can control, Fu says families can keep things from spiraling.
"Try to keep things in perspective," she urges. "In the larger scheme of things, this is one holiday."
What stress does to a body
When humans sense that something's not right, our brains and bodies jump to attention. "It triggers feelings that are normal, almost functional, from an evolutionary perspective," Fu explains. The "fight or flight response," which once helped us produce bursts of speed to escape predators, floods our bodies with adrenaline and cortisol. These stress hormones tell our heart rates to increase, and our blood pressure to rise.
But what works well for lion evasion isn't as helpful for handling the stress from say, a protracted email argument about holiday travel and mounting credit card bills. Instead of returning to our normal state, the stress lingers, setting off a domino effect of symptoms.
Ongoing stress can lead to heart disease, obesity, and other chronic issues. It can cause people to hunch up their backs and necks, resulting in musculoskeletal issues, as well as affect digestion, which can cause heartburn, bloating, and appetite changes. In both men and women, stress decreases sexual desire and the ability to conceive. Stress can even summon acne breakouts and rashes, and make your hair fall out.
Although people might think of stress as an adult problem, kids can feel it, too. Younger children often regress when dealing with stress—for example, a potty-trained child who's now back in diapers. They also tend to act out, says psychologist Rachael Krahn, associate director of outpatient, school-based, and psychology training for Minnesota's Washburn Center for Children. "They're running on empty, so meltdowns are more likely," she says.
For older kids, self-isolation is another sign of stress (as well as a symptom of depression) that Krahn is seeing more of in her patients. "I hear a lot of 'meh' from my teens," she says.
Dealing with kids' holiday stress
Kids have plenty of reasons to feel stressed about the holidays this year. They might be missing large family gatherings or holiday activities. They could be sad over not being able to see friends, and anxious about never-ending remote school situations. Or they could be stressing over very adult concerns, such as financial or health issues.
Psychologist Andrea Bonior's key piece of advice for helping children deal with their stress over the next two months? Empathy.
"Remember that they've already had a ton of loss—of structure and of activities," says Bonior, author of Detox Your Thoughts: Quit Negative Self-Talk for Good and Discover the Life You've Always Wanted. "Let them have their feelings. Let them ask 'Why can't we' questions 10 times in a row."
Moms and dads often feel like they need to know the perfect thing to say in response, but Bonior encourages parents to focus on listening. "It's not about fixing the problem," she adds. "It's about hearing them."
What you pick up either from talking or playing with your kids might surprise you, Krahn says. Maybe you thought everyone had finally adjusted to the "new normal" at your house, but it turns out your kids are still struggling with the idea that the holidays this year won't mean a trip to grandmother's house. To calm them down, Krahn suggests deploying deep breathing exercises and movement games.
Above all, she says, reassure them: "Feelings come and go, and this will pass."
Bonior says that parents shouldn't candy-coat the stressful holiday situation for children or act as if things will be fine; instead, own it. "Let's acknowledge that this stinks," she says. "And let's be creative in what we can do instead." She recommends brainstorming new family traditions, like finding a board game you can play online with cousins or a way to volunteer together.
Dealing with your own family stress
Family conflicts over holidays are nothing new—but this year's additional stressors will look a little different. Relatives may hold opposing views on the safety of indoor festivities. Guilt trips over travel—or lack thereof—might arise.
To defuse the tension, don't think of your family as opposing factions, Krahn says. Instead, blame the root cause. "Take the personal out of it and say, 'COVID-19 is making this so hard,'" she suggests.
Bonior emphasizes the need to be proactive about family self-care to keep stress levels from getting too high. "I'm a fan of working together," she says. "Say, 'I'm going to do a meditation before bed, want to do it with me?'"
To focus on the positive, Krahn says it can help to start a daily gratitude practice for your family—for instance, saying what you're thankful for at every dinner, not just one single meal in November. Healthy diets, good sleep habits, and regular exercise will also help reduce stress for everyone in the family.
That said, sometimes parents just need a break, "like sitting in the bath or binge-watching some shows," suggests Purdue University associate professor Zoe E. Taylor, who studies risk and resilience in youth. But carving out "me time" can be especially tricky for single parents or those who once relied on now-vulnerable grandparents to share childcare responsibilities.
What can help is forming a "double bubble" with another family who has a similar level of risk tolerance, Taylor says. Adults can share childcare duties, kids have playmates, and more folks can squeeze around the dinner table, helping ease some of the loneliness of the holidays.
At some point, though, stress levels are sure to bubble over. And that's OK. Bonior says it can provide an opportunity for parents to model good behavior when apologizing for reacting in anger. "We need to have grace and compassion for ourselves," she says. "Our kids need to see us messing up, and how we handle awkward conversations when we mess up."
That includes coming clean about when you're stressed, which is better both for you and your kids. "Emotions can be contagious," Krahn says.
Adds Taylor: "Acknowledge that we're doing the best we can. The biggest message is be good to yourself and good to one another."

About Charleston, South Carolina, SC.
Charleston is the oldest and largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, the county seat of Charleston County, and the principal city in the Charleston–North Charleston–Summerville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city lies just south of the geographical midpoint of South Carolina's coastline and is located on Charleston Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean formed by the confluence of the Ashley, Cooper, and Wando rivers. Known for its rich history, well-preserved architecture, distinguished restaurants, and hospitable people, Charleston is a popular tourist destination. It has received numerous accolades, including "America's Most Friendly City" by Travel Leisure in 2011 and in 2013 and 2014 by Condé Nast Traveler, and also "the most polite and hospitable city in America" by Southern Living magazine. In 2016, Charleston was ranked the "World's Best City" by Travel Leisure. Charleston languished economically for several decades in the 20th century, though the large federal military presence in the region helped to shore up the city's economy. Joseph P. Riley Jr. was elected mayor in the 1970s, and helped advance several cultural aspects of the city. Riley worked to revive Charleston's economic and cultural heritage. The last 30 years of the 20th century had major new investments in the city, with a number of municipal improvements and a commitment to historic preservation to restore the city's unique fabric. There was an effort to preserve working-class housing of African Americans on the historic peninsula, but the neighborhood has gentrified, with rising prices and rents. From 1980 to 2010, the peninsula's population has shifted from two-thirds black to two-thirds white; in 2010 residents numbered 20,668 whites to 10,455 blacks. Many African Americans have moved to the less-expensive suburbs in these decades. On June 17, 2015, 21-year-old Dylann Roof entered the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and sat in on part of a Bible study before shooting and killing nine people.[85] Senior pastor Clementa Pinckney, who also served as a state senator, was among those killed during the attack. The deceased also included congregation members Susie Jackson, 87; Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr., 74; Ethel Lance, 70; Myra Thompson, 59; Cynthia Hurd, 54; Rev. Depayne Middleton-Doctor, 49; Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, 45; and Tywanza Sanders, 26. On July 10, 2015, the Confederate battle flag was removed from the South Carolina State House. A memorial service on the campus of the College of Charleston was attended by President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Jill Biden, and Speaker of the House John Boehner. Charleston is known for its unique culture, which blends traditional Southern U.S., English, French, and West African elements. The downtown peninsula has gained a reputation for its art, music, local cuisine, and fashion. Spoleto Festival USA, held annually in late spring, has become one of the world's major performing arts festivals. Charleston is known for its local seafood, which plays a key role in the city's renowned cuisine, comprising staple dishes such as gumbo, she-crab soup, fried oysters, Lowcountry boil, deviled crab cakes, red rice, and shrimp and grits. Rice is the staple in many dishes, reflecting the rice culture of the Low Country. The cuisine in Charleston is also strongly influenced by British and French elements. Charleston annually hosts Spoleto Festival USA founded by Gian Carlo Menotti, a 17-day art festival featuring over 100 performances by individual artists in a variety of disciplines. The Spoleto Festival is internationally recognized as America's premier performing arts festival. The annual Piccolo Spoleto festival takes place at the same time and features local performers and artists, with hundreds of performances throughout the city. Other festivals and events include Historic Charleston Foundation's Festival of Houses and Gardens and Charleston Antiques Show, the Taste of Charleston, The Lowcountry Oyster Festival, the Cooper River Bridge Run, The Charleston Marathon, Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE), Charleston Food and Wine Festival, Charleston Fashion Week, the MOJA Arts Festival, and the Holiday Festival of Lights (at James Island County Park), and the Charleston International Film Festival.

Yup. Warm south winds are common here before storms, it seems especially when they come from the NW. This one is mostly going to miss the wasatch though.

A: I just had a similar problem and found that I had to change the package of the Classifier from
org.springframework.batch.classify.BackToBackPatternClassifier

to
org.springframework.classify.BackToBackPatternClassifier

i.e. remove the batch
I am also using spring-retry-1.0.3.RELEASE.jar

A: BackToBackPatternClassifier (and Classifier) is defined is spring-retry module and probably you need to include its jar in your classpath (I can't check now, but latest version is spring-retry-1.0.2.RELEASE)


Christmas and New Year's Eve are around the corner, which means a whole lot of fun parties. If the makeup enthusiast in you is ready to exaggerate the holiday vibe a little more, then you ought to check out the newest eyeliner trend – the candy cane. The merry eyeliner trend perfectly blends with the holiday mode.
Well, agree or not, we all love candy canes, as the sweet treats not only give you sugar rush but are also gorgeous to look at.
From using the classic red and white combination to drawing candy canes and snowman, the colourful eye makeup is somehow weirdly satisfying to the eyes.

>Someone sent this memo around my friend's office. I think this is a case of taking your job way too seriously. My comments are in red.
We have had two occasions now with employee(s) falling asleep in training class while a session is in progress. We had 15 employees present today and THREE employees fell asleep.
Below I have listed my training concerns about this.
Our company provides work time to enhance our skills and gain knowledge etc., so why are our employees falling asleep? Easy, because you are boring and so is the topic.
I have looked at all areas within our training room from lighting, providing food, duration of training and even taking the monitors off the workstation to allow more visibility. The temperature today was adjusted a little due to it getting cold but other than that I cannot possibly find anything wrong with our training environment. More proof that it's you.
When our classes are scheduled we take a head count so we know how many classes to hold if needed. If the demand is high then we will start a wait list and schedule a class for the following weeks/month. For example, if I have an employee that falls asleep in class then what is the employee present for? I could have filled the seat with an employee that is on the wait list. Listen honey, employees don't have a choice. They have to go to training or get fired. Don't kid yourself. This isn't some cool elective like underwater basket weaving. This is TPS report training or whatever.
What about our employee sitting next to the employee snoring. We talk about respecting our time in the training room, cell phone usage etc. (same intro I use for all our classes), do we really understand it? Not to get all Dr. Phil here, but what's the constant in these situations? You are the one leading the training. Boring speaker plus boring topic equals students asleep.
When class ended today, I did speak with the group and let them know that this is neither the time or place to take a nap. If you are going to go off on people sleeping in training, you might want to check your grammar before sending out a dissertation on the subject. As always if I ever need to talk to an employee during training time I will notify his/her supervisor so you are aware. What the hell does that mean? How many times did you edit this piece before sending it out? None?
Training is what we make it…. We want to continue to make it great! Obviously it's not that great if people are falling asleep in class. So, I am asking you for your support and help. Talk with your employees and let them know that our training time is valuable. This will not be tolerated in the training room.
If you have questions, please call me directly.
"Um, yeah. Hi Peter. Lumberg here. You fell asleep in TPS Report training so I have to send out a 7 paragraph memo to the rest of the office making sure they are aware of the obvious." My advice to whoever wrote this memo is to get a life. Spend more time with your kids or enriching your pathetic life in some way.
>Underwater basket weaving was one kickass class.
