"What do women want? Is sex all that men really think about? Are women really all that complicated, while men simple and straightforward?
Understanding female psychology is really about understanding female emotions. For women, their emotions play a significant part in their lives. What they like, don't like, how attracted they are to a man, how close they feel to their partner or how nice they are to him, will largely depend on how he makes her feel.
When it comes to men, we've been led to believe that sex and fun is all they really care about. But there is more to men then these simple basic instincts. Phrases like "toxic masculinity" have dominated the current narrative. While we figured out and frown at what men shouldn't be, we don't ask enough who they really are.
When a man and women learn how to understand, interpret and react better to one another, their experience with each other will be transformed. In this talk we'll be digging deeper to see what's going on behind the surface of male and female psychology. We'll explore how to decode one another's emotional needs and develop practical skills to interact with one another to foster deeper connection and understanding between the sexes.
Important Disclaimer: While men and women are largely the same, there are some key differences between them. This talk is about discussing some of those differences and honouring them. The intention is not to point out who is better than the other, nor is it about neutralizing our respective differences. The intention of this talk is to help understand each other better and build mutual respect for a more enhance and positive experiences between the sexes.

Fascinating lecture
High profile speaker
Trendy London venue
Unique after-work event


A customer recently purchased a property the village of Chesham and hoped we could improve the appearance of her textured marble tiled floors which had over a number of years become dull and lost the polished marble look one would expect from a floor of this quality.
For polished stone like Marble and Limestone the only way to restore the finish is to burnish the floor and this floor was no different. The burnishing pads are diamond encrusted and come in a setup of four seventeen inch pads for use with a heavy rotary machine, each pad having a different purpose.
So we started with the Red pad which is designed to remove sealers together with a little water, we then took the opportunity to clean up the grout by applying a dilution of Tile Doctor Pro-Clean and scrubbing it into the grout lines to get them clean. Next step was to remove the soiled cleaning solution and wash the floor down with water before moving onto the white burnishing pad which will grind off ingrained dirt and is the first step in polishing the floor. We then completed the floor polishing using the Yellow then Green polishing pads which smooth down the surface and produce a shiny finish.
Once the floor was polished we applied Tile Doctor Shine Crystallising Powder to the marble tile using a rotary machine fitted with a white polishing pad. This last step gives a very deep high shine as well as a tough durable finish.
When the customer returned she asked was it safe to walk on as the floor as at first glance it looked wet; we assured her this is the Tile Doctor high shine appearance and is perfectly ok.
This Marble tiled floor was in the hallway of a house in the historic town of Woodbridge; the floor had lost its lustre was looking dull and in need of a good polish.
It took a day to clean the Marble tiles using a set of 17 inch diamond encrusted Twister burnishing pads fitted to a buffing machine. The pads come in a set of four and you start with the red pad in conjunction with water to remove the existing sealer followed by the white and yellow pads also with water to clean and hone the stone. The tiles were then rinsed with clean water to clean and neutralise the floor ready for sealing.
Once the floor was dry we used the final green pad with a small amount of water to polish the tiles before moving onto sealing. To seal we used two coats of Tile Doctor Colour Grow which does what it says on the tin and enhances colour as well as providing that important surface protection, a five litre bottle of sealer was required to provide two coats on this 35m2 floor.
I'm not the world's best photographer but hopefully you agree from the pictures on this page that the floor has now got its shine back.
Details below of a wet room lined with 10m2 of Marble in old cottage on the outskirts of the medieval village of Great Bricett in the heart of Suffolk. You can see from the photographs staining of the Marble Tiled wall and floor which was left in a mess after a friend of the family had tried to remove the limescale during a visit.
The Marble tiles were cleaned and polished using a set of mini Twister burnishing pads. The pads are encrusted in diamonds are brilliant at restoring hard stone surfaces such as Marble. You start with the red pad to remove the existing sealer followed by the white and yellow pads to clean and hone the stone. The wall and floor tiles were then rinsed with water to clean and neutralise the floor ready for sealing.
The room had under floor heating which helped to dry out the tile and so it was soon possible to use the final green pad to polish the tiles and move onto sealing. To seal we used two coats of Tile Doctor Colour Grow which is a colour intensifying breathable sealer that enhances colour as well as providing durable surface protection, a one litre bottle of sealer was sufficient.
Thanks to the under floor heating we managed to complete the job in a single day and as you can see from the final set of photographs below the stains have been removed and the tiles restored to their original appearance.

San Francisco - Paying the Price for Surveillance Without Safeguards
Matt Cagle @Matt_Cagle
Last week's decision by a federal appeals court allowing an expensive and multi-year lawsuit to go forward against San Francisco is a reminder of the immense cost—both to civil liberties and the public fisc—that can follow a community's failure to have a thorough public discussion about surveillance technology and adopt legally enforceable safeguards if it is going to be used. Several years ago, San Francisco jumped on the bandwagon of cities purchasing automated license plate readers (ALPR), a technology that raises privacy and First Amendment concerns by recording the movements of innocent drivers. Like all technologies, ALPR is prone user error, yet San Francisco adopted it without crafting a formal policy requiring a camera operator to verify the accuracy of plate reads.
Safeguards on ALPR's use could have prevented a very expensive mistake by San Francisco police. In March 2009, an ALPR unit misread the plate of Denise Green, a 47 year-old African American woman, erroneously flagging her burgundy Lexis as a stolen gray truck. With no formal policy mandating that an officer visually verify the plate, Green was stopped and forced to exit her car, handcuffed, and held at gunpoint by four officers while a search took place. Green sued the SFPD, the City, and the patrol officer for violations of her constitutional rights. Last week, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals allowed Green's case to go forward. In a similar incident last month near the Kansas-Missouri border, an officer stopped a car and unholstered his gun before discovering that the driver—a lawyer returning home from his wife's sonogram—was the victim of another ALPR error.
As ALPR and other surveillance technologies proliferate, so too can the many mistakes caused by their unrestrained use. San Francisco's costly multi-year lawsuit should be a wake-up call here and throughout the state. If a community is considering surveillance technology, an essential first step should be a robust public debate about whether that technology is even necessary, and if so, what enforceable policies and procedures should be in place (last week, we saw this process at work in Menlo Park). Communities owe it to themselves to take a critical look at surveillance technology before rolling it out.

Das Porträt Edmund Emundts, erstellt um 1845 von dem Aachener Gesellschaftsmaler Heinrich Franz Carl Billotte, stellt Edmund Emundts dar, den Aachener Oberbürgermeister der Jahre 1832 bis 1848.

Bilddaten
Das Bild ist ein Ölgemälde auf Leinwand im Format H 101,5 × B 83,5 cm. Der Biedermeierrahmen mit flachem Neorokoko-Dekor weist in den Ecken herzförmige Verzierungen auf. Es ist ein Keilrahmen mit Querholz-Verstärkung. Das Gemälde zeigt sichtbare Restaurierungsspuren, diverse Retuschen und einen ausgebesserten winkelförmigen Schnitt auf der rechten Seite in Halshöhe. Auf der Rückwand befindet sich ein Leinwandflicken in Höhe der Halsbinde. Eine starke Beschädigung ist in Höhe der Milz vorhanden.  Seine Standort-Geschichte lautet: Historisches Museum – Museum – Haus Löwenstein Sitzungssaal (Presseamt) – 2010: SLM-Magazin des Suermondt-Ludwig-Museums (NGL 813).

Das Bild hat offenbar eine wenig schonende Restaurierung erfahren, so entspricht das Inkarnat nicht mehr dem vom Künstler üblicherweise gewählten Farbton, vom ursprünglichen Inkarnat sind keine Spuren mehr zu erkennen.

Bildbeschreibung
Das Halbfigurporträt gibt den Aachener Oberbürgermeister Edmund Emundts im Viertelprofil wieder. Vor einem dunklen Hintergrund blickt er den Zuschauer distinguiert an. Eine breite schwere Nase, breite Lippen, starke Augenbrauen und Koteletten, seine linke Wangenpartie im Schatten, hoch gestylte Frisur – dies sind die markanten Gesichtszüge Edmund Emundts, dessen schwachen Tonus die herabgesunkenen Lidränder bezeugen. Konträr dazu hat Billotte seine starke Stirnfalte angedeutet. Im Gegensatz zu seinen anderen Porträts ist dieses Inkarnat sehr hell aufgefasst, wirkt untypisch für Billotte und scheint auf einen Eingriff unsachgemäßer Restaurierung zurückzuführen sein.

Die dunkel gehaltene untere Gesichtspartie deutet einen starken Bartwuchs an. Seine Rechte im für Billottes Porträts typischen Napoleon-Gestus, hat er die Linke auf eine Holzbrüstung gelegt, die gleich einer Barriere in den unteren Bildrand diagonal hineinragt. Dieses Parapetto setzt Billotte nicht nur als künstlerisches Mittel zur Erzeugung von Tiefenwirkung ein, sondern attributiv als Hinweis auf Emundts Tätigkeit am Gericht.

Auf der linken Brustseite trägt Emundts an einem kurzen Band mit seitlichen Streifen seinen Roten Adler Orden III. Klasse. Dessen Punzierung befindet sich an der Schmalseite des unteren Kreuzarmes. Das Tatzenkreuz in weißer Emailleausführung ist mit einem roten Adler in der Mitte versehen. Jeder Kreuzarm ist pastos weiß gehöht. Silber gefasste matte Diamantknöpfe zieren sein Oberhemd.

Zum Frack trägt er eine Weste aus Atlasseide passend zur Halsbinde. Die schwarze schmale Kette, die über sein helles Oberhemd verläuft, könnte zu einem Monokel gehören. Der Frackärmel reicht weit über seinen Handrücken.

Billottes Napoleongestus ähnelt dem in seinem Selbstbildnis. Dies offenbart eine Eigenart des Künstlers: Ein einmal gewonnenes Motiv, das ihm oder dem Dargestellten zusagt, wiederholt sich in seinem Œuvre. Ein Vergleich mit der Photographie des Oberbürgermeisters zeigt auch hier Billottes Idealisierung. Einzig die Nase und Frisur sind nach der Natur gemalt, während die extrem eingefallenen Gesichtszüge des Porträtierten  vom Künstler "geliftet" sind.

Conservative Christianity as threat to democracy – Baptist News Global – Baptist News Global
OpinionDavid Gushee, Senior Columnist | October 25, 2021
Christians should support democracy. This should not be a shocking statement. It should not even need to be said. U.S. Baptists, at least, used to be fairly clear about it.
But today, it is becoming increasingly clear from looking around the world and at our own nation that Christians need to make a fresh case for liberal democracy. That's because some of the most ardent exponents of ideological movements undercutting democracy are conservative Christians.
I can remember the exact day I first discovered that some conservative Christians are not all that into democracy.
David Gushee
It was 20 years ago. My oldest daughter was in third grade at a Christian school in West Tennessee. She came home asking for some help with her social studies homework. When I sat down with her to look at it, I discovered Holly was being taught a neo-Puritan civics curriculum, in which God's design for human government is rule by godly Christian men applying Scripture under the sovereignty of God.
Basically, the political vision of that curriculum was similar to that which dominates Calvinist churches — rule by male elders accountable to God rather than the people. God's power flowed down to the elders who then exerted it in the community on behalf of the well-being of the people but without their control. It was fundamentally anti-democratic.
These days we are witnessing a surging conservative Christian flirtation with authoritarianism. We see its manifestations in countries as diverse as Brazil, Hungary and Russia. Some of the most atrocious regimes of the 20th century were built on the support of conservative Christians for authoritarian, anti-democratic or faux democratic governments — consider Franco's Spain, Mussolini's Italy, Petain's France, Hitler's Germany.
There does appear to be an abiding attraction to authoritarianism on the part of many types of conservative Christians — Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant. Democracy is messy. Its outcomes do not always conform with Christian preferences. God's law (as many Christians understand it) does not necessarily set the parameters for human law. People get a vote whom some Christians would rather not count as equal voices in the national community. A free press constantly challenges authority.
"There does appear to be an abiding attraction to authoritarianism on the part of many types of conservative Christians."
The old saying (attributed to St. John of Kronstadt) that "In hell there is democracy, in heaven there is a kingdom," seems to resonate with some. I have seen it online in this country. Some Christians are yearning for a politics that looks more like a kingdom than a democracy.
Stepping back, we must acknowledge that it's not easy to get from Scripture to democracy. There's little if any democracy in the Bible. Most of the politics we see there is imperial, theocratic, tyrannical. Jesus himself spoke in the monarchical image of the kingdom of God.
It took many centuries of Rome and Christendom, of state churches and crusades and religious wars, for the West to produce the flawed versions of liberal democracy that emerged beginning in the 18th century. Those democracies can be critiqued for their manifest undemocratic injustices, a common theme on the left. But it is easy to forget, at least on the left, that another whole strand of critique of democracy has long survived on the right. It has a particular flavor on the Christian Right, much of which still desires a Christian American kingdom.
"We have reached a moment in which the basics of American democracy must again be defended."
This rightist Christian authoritarianism has been reactivated by Donald Trump, and not just in his corrosive attack on American democracy after he lost the election of 2020 and cried fraud. He was violating democratic norms (and many laws) long before that, all while seducing Christians with promises of their kind of Christian America. He is still around, still pulling at the unraveling threads of our democracy, and still retaining the support of tens of millions of conservative Christians.
It appears we have reached a moment in which the basics of American democracy must again be defended, in Christian terms. That requires us to see that what was born in Philadelphia in 1776 (as modified in 1789) was a Western — Christian — Enlightenment goulash. It is messy. But it is better than the alternatives.
Nobody ever guaranteed that our constitutional democracy would survive in perpetuity. Our generation is just the latest to have to decide, again, whether we will continue the flawed but extraordinary experiment in self-government begun in 1776.

Ebro Foods SA (ehemals Ebro Puleva SA) ist der größte spanische Lebensmittelhersteller mit Sitz in Madrid. Das Unternehmen ist an der Madrider Börse unter dem Kürzel EBRO gelistet. Ebro Foods gehört zu den größten Reisproduzenten und ist der zweitgrößte Nudelhersteller weltweit.

Im Jahr 2014 erwirtschaften rund 4.500 Mitarbeiter einen Umsatz von 2,12 Milliarden Euro. Größte Aktionäre sind Instituto Hispanico del Arroz und die Familie Hernández mit jeweils 15,72 %.

Geschichte

Gründung und frühe Geschichte
Das Unternehmen Ebro Puleva entstand im Jahr 2000 durch eine Fusion der Azucarera Ebro Agrícolas und Puleva. Der bisherige Eigentümer Südzucker verkaufte Ebro Puleva Anfang 2004.

Zur Verbesserung der Marktstellung in Frankreich erwarb Ebro Puleva 2005 den Nudelhersteller Panzani. Die Stellung im nordamerikanischen Markt verbesserte Ebro Puleva im Jahr 2006 durch den Erwerb des Pastaproduzenten New World Pasta für 362,5 Millionen Dollar. In Deutschland stärkte Ebro Puleva 2007 seine Marktstellung im Marktsegment Nudeln durch den Erwerb des Marktführers Birkel Teigwaren GmbH für 30 Millionen Euro. Am deutschen Nudelmarkt hat Birkel einen Marktanteil von 18 %.

Verschlankungsstrategie

2008 verkaufte Ebro Puleva seine Zuckersparte Azucarera Ebro, mit 50 % Marktanteil in Spanien dort der größte Anbieter, an das britische Unternehmen Associated British Foods für 385 Millionen Euro. Der Handel war am 16. Dezember 2008 abgeschlossen. Im März 2009 verkaufte Ebro das Zuckergeschäft (Azucarera Ebro) an British Sugar, das sich im Besitz von Associated British Foods befindet. Ebenso verkaufte es im September desselben Jahres seine Beteiligung an der Firma Biocarburantes de Castilla y León an Abengoa. Dies war im Jahr 2000 zu 50 % von beiden Unternehmen für die Entwicklung einer Biokraftstoffaktivität durch die Bioethanolanlage in Babilafuente (Salamanca) gebildet worden, die seit 2006 in Betrieb ist.

Außerdem verkaufte Ebro 2010 seine Milchsparte Puleva Foods für 630 Millionen Euro an den französischen Hersteller Lactalis. Damit setzte Ebro Puleva seine Verschlankungsstrategie auf Nudeln und Reis weiter fort. Die Sparte erzielte im Jahr 2009 einen Umsatz von 444 Millionen Euro.

Mit dem Erwerb des größten australischen Reisproduzenten Ricegrowers Ltd für 610 Millionen AUS-Dollar wollte Ebro Foods im Jahr 2011 seine Stellung im Reismarkt verstärken. Durch die Ablehnung der australischen Behörden und der Aktionäre wurde die Übernahme abgesagt.

Im Zuge von Umstrukturierungen innerhalb der deutschen Gesellschaften im Jahr 2011 wurden bei der Birkel Teigwaren GmbH zwei Standorte geschlossen und die Verwaltung nach Hamburg verlegt. Die Produktion verblieb in Mannheim. Zum 1. Januar 2014 wurde die Birkel Teigwaren an den italienischen Hersteller von Pasta, Backwaren sowie Molkereiprodukten Newlat Group verkauft.

Im Juni 2014 erwarb Ebro Foods 52 % des italienischen Nahrungsmittelproduzenten Pastificio Lucio Garofalo, S.p.A.

Wow! I know people do become a little calloused to that kind of thing but I don't know if I could. Here in north central FL it's petty armed robbery, gang violence, or drugs. Opioids, bad heroin, or meth (big one) are getting more and more common. The meth heads can cook up a batch to sell in their house, car trunk, and even the homeless cook it up in their hobo camps. Nasty addiction. If you're not caught up in any of those things you are way ahead safety wise. But there's always the chance a hurting addict needs a fix and will do ANYTHING to get it.
Mannlicher and I were camping in the forest and a crazy lady drove in and started some wild stuff with the host. Sam covered him from behind a tree. The poor guy didn't know she had a gun until the next day when Sam told him.
I got lazy for a long time and didn't carry concealed. Not anymore. You guys outside the USA probably don't get the news of just how often a civilian stops a criminal with a legal firearm here. The liberal press doesn't print it. Heck, a lot of US citizens don't get that kind of news.
Cash in transit van driver is off my list of jobs. I don't even think concealed carry would help with that many guns shooting at you. That would definitely qualify for a bad day in Flatrock.
I have another friend that spends some time in South Africa every couple of months. We were discussing this situation just last week and the precautions the people must take to try and avoid these situations.
It appears that the robbers knew exactly where and when the vans would appear. Establishing a routine can be a bad thing.
And once more, gun control seems to only affect the law abiding citizens and insure that robbers have little or no firepower to avoid.
No doubt this is some inside info.. this is only a small part of the crime here.
We have some pretty strict gun control laws , but as pointed out this doesn't help a law abiding person.
The issues we face here are multi-fold.. Its poverty, is political, is lack of jobs and poor policing and corruption.. but all beyond the scope of this form.
Anyway Just thought I share some of the dangers.

Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds. CNN It remains among America's most heinous nightmares: Taken with them on that chilly Friday in December — just 11 days before Christmas — were six adults felled by the same gunman as they refused to abandon their sacred trust to safeguard the smallest among them. Five years later, even those who have never set foot near Newtown, Connecticut, can conjure the scene painted by police of a first-grade classroom transformed into a killing field. Can see the faces of anguished parents desperate for proof of life, then later, tiny caskets overloaded with stuffed animals never to be named. Since the massacre, a new school has been built for the students of a town known, now and for years to come, as a cradle of sorrow — but also as the home of quiet resilience and untold love. The 12 girls, eight boys and six women whose futures were stolen that day will be remembered, always.

Although there is less of a double standard for women, nearly half of students have negative attitudes toward other students who appear to engage in a lot of casual sexual activity, researchers found. While we've come a long way in terms of gender equality, it seems that a large portion of both college men and women lose respect for individuals who they believe participate in too frequent casual sexual activity.
The students were asked if they lost respect for women who hook up or have sex with many people. Based on their response, the participants were divided into four groups: The study revealed that roughly 48 percent of the college students in the survey were egalitarian conservatives. These students judged all other students in the same way and would lose respect for both men and women that engaged in frequent casual sexual activity. The researchers noted that women were more likely than men to have this view.
About 54 percent of the women surveyed fell into this category, compared to about 35 percent of the men. Meanwhile, about 27 percent of the students were considered egalitarian libertarians.

Research suggests the answer is no. Lisa Wade, a sociologist at Occidental College, says something has changed, though:

Email Bio Follow October 24, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos wants a second delay of a regulation known as borrower defense to repayment, a rule that wipes away the federal student loans of borrowers defrauded by their colleges. Katye Martens Brier for The Washington Post Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is proposing another delay of an Obama-era overhaul of rules to erase the federal student debt of borrowers defrauded by colleges.
Department of Education invited public comment on a plan that would give the agency until July 1, , to implement updates to a regulation known as borrower defense to repayment. The rule, which dates to the s, wipes away federal loans for students whose colleges used illegal or deceptive tactics to get them to borrow money to attend. To give that committee more time, the secretary now wants to further postpone the revisions.

Some applicants want to know how good the campus Wi-Fi system is, whether the fitness center offers spin classes or even if the cafeteria has an organic salad bar. Let me suggest that college-bound high schoolers add one more item to their collegiate checklist: If applicants and their parents want to know whether the dating scene at a particular college is geared more towards wild hookups or traditional relationships, the best barometer will always be the ratio of women to men on campus.
How do I know this? But when women are in oversupply—as they are today at most U. With girls continuing to outpace boys in school and young women continuing to attend college in ever-greater numbers, the U. Department of Education now expects the ratio to approach three women for every two men by Sarah Lawrence men have little interest in exclusive relationships. The young man told me he had had sex with more than 20 of his female classmates.
Frost-proof or freezeproof outdoor hose bibbs or sillcocks. We have no relationship with advertisers, products, or services discussed at this website. This article describes outdoor faucets, hose bibbs, sillcocks, or hose hookups, how they work, where they should be installed, freeze-proofing hose hookups, and troubleshooting or repairing stuck, broken, or dripping outdoor faucets.
We describe the component parts of outdoor faucets, how water flows through the faucet, and where drips or leaks occur.
While the thesis features Middlebury, readers nationwide say this is "a necessary read for anyone interested in or experiencing hookup culture." I hope you'll learn and .
But did you know that your state is also a valuable resource for college funding? States work with colleges and universities, alongside the U. Department of Education , to provide a blend of financial assistance for students at all levels. Information you provide on your FAFSA helps tabulate the cost of your education, and estimates your ability to pay for college.
Other states require additional documentation, and deadlines are not always the same. States issue grants directly to students, but institutional grants are also given to colleges and universities. Merit-based grants and scholarships are issued to recognize exemplary performance. Academic grants go to students whose classroom achievements set them apart from their contemporaries.

Show Hide Almost people are dying every day across America from opioid overdoses — more than car crashes and shootings combined.

Pulse Of Radio is part of United Stations Radio Networks, which is "a radio network providing a wide range of programs and programming services for radio stations across the US and elsewhere." Several small radio stations have news via Pulse Of Radio delivered on their site. One of these news items is a short audio clip of Andy Fletcher being interviewed in a hollow room. The URL of this audio clip indicates that the file was uploaded in October 2002, although the interview is more likely to have been conducted in 2001.
Andy: I don't think we ever considered really that we was gonna last 20 years, 2 years, 3 years. I don't know... When we first started, we were just having fun. It was a gradual thing: we was on Top Of The Pops, a famous pop programme in Britain, and I was still at work at the time, which was a bit bizarre. That's what being on an independent label is about: so I did Top Of The Pops to about half of the population in that country, and I went into my work the next day.

Precinct 21 set to get city heart beating
Posted on September 17, 2019 September 17, 2019 by tgmaster
By Chris Lees
It's hoped a new multimillion-dollar commercial precinct will be the catalyst for more retail, food and beverage stores in Townsville's city centre. Precinct 21, a five-level office building at 21 Stoke St and the former offices of AECOM, revealed its $10 million transformation last night.
Thirdi Group director of sales and marketing Luke Berry said it was an important site for Townsville's CBD, with office workers the key to reactivating other commercial offerings like retail, food and beverage outlets in the city.
"The aim is to attract tenants of a scale that will have a positive impact on other commercial offerings in the city and also attract new businesses," he said.
"Above all, this refurbished building presents an unmatched opportunity for commercial tenants to secure a first-class office space in the absolute heart of the central business district."
Mr Berry said millions of dollars of internal and external construction had transformed the site into 5800sq m of A-grade commercial leasing space.
"Precinct 21 is located in a high profile position on the corner of Stokes and Sturt streets with fantastic branding opportunities for tenants," he said.
"The open-plan layout provides flexibility for tenants to custom fit their space to suit their requirements and with an average of 1000sq m floor plates over five levels, there is plenty of space to adapt with changing needs."
The Third Group acquired the site through E Property Group, which has been retained to manage its leasing.

I used to always miss wearing sarees when I had to wear tango dresses. For the clarity of the leg movements in tango, generally, dresses are recommended. Then I had an idea. I used to wear a short saree in Kathak and Odissi dance and a different drape in Bharatnatyam. I wanted to give it a try at the 4th Delhi International Tango festival. You can see more pictures of it here and here. I am also putting videos of me dancing the tango in a saree.
It is the same chiffon saree that I have previously worn here but with a different halter blouse. This blouse, I had previously worn with a Banarasi saree here.
My Kamarband (waist belt) is actually a necklace. I had worn it previously here too. The look was complete with a gajra (jasmine flowers in the hair). For me, there is nothing better than a saree and a gajra. Add tango also to it and life could not be better.


Description: The LG.7F9 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD27, a lymphocyte-specific member of the TNFR superfamily. CD27 is expressed by virtually all mature T cells and by a subpopulation of B cells, mainly memory B cells. In mouse, CD27 has been found on nearly all thymocytes excluding a population of CD46-CD8- precursors. CD27 binds to CD70 and, through this interaction, plays an important role in T cell-B cell interaction. It has been reported that triggering CD27 plays an important role in the maturation of CD4+ and CD8+ effector cells. LG.7F9 cross-reacts with human and rat CD27. Applications Reported: The LG.7F9 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: The LG.7F9 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 µg per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 520 nm; Laser: Blue Laser. Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

Q: How to add a handler for a button in plugin? I am working on my first plugin, and I am having some confusion. I am trying to figure out how to set a handler for a button on my plugin UI. Here is how the button is displayed:

The confusion is how I am supposed to link that to an action. I know using Jquery I could do something like this:
 $('#upload_image_button').click(function(e) {
//Do action here.
}

But what about php? If I had some php I wanted the button to execute, how would run it when the button is clicked?

Why Momentum Matters More Than Progress (And How to Increase It)
Way back in 1936, a Russian Scientist named Vladimir Lukyanov was tasked with finding a way to improve Russian concrete. To do this, like anyone would do in the 30s, he built his very own computer to aid in his calculations.
But… this computer wasn't just any old machine. No, this computer was powered entirely by water.
Just like all early computers, his water-computer was a giant, room-sized contraption. Through a maze of pumps and tanks, water would eventually settle in reservoirs that would represent the result of a calculation.
Vladimir Lukyanov's Water Computer
This insanely cool computer allowed the Russians to make a ton of progress when it came to making better concrete.
While this progress was important, the momentum this invention gave them was even more impactful. You see, this computer paved the way for the Russians to lead the way in analog computing for years to come.
When it comes to our careers, we often want to focus on blazing a trail too.
Are we making more money than last year? Is the game we're working on now "better" than the last one? And on and on.
Focusing just on raw progress, however, may not be the wisest way to move forward. Instead, focusing on the momentum our actions give us will yield far better results in our careers.
So, what am I going to regale you with today?
Part 1: What is Momentum?
Part 2: Why does it Matter More than Progress?
Part 3: How to Increase Your Momentum
Momentum isn't just about how fast we're going
But instead, how hard it is to stop us. When we're really "feeling it" or are "in a groove" we have a lot of momentum.
When we have a lot of good habits lined up and have no problem doing the things we need to be doing, then we have momentum.
Have you noticed that there are some people
Who just keep having success after success? Hit after hit? The sorts of people who are on a non-stop train of good times? Those are the people with momentum.
So long as they manage themselves well, nothing will be able to stop them. If we want our careers and lives to be stellar, that momentum is exactly what we should be focusing on.
Most of us focus on how well we're doing at any given moment
We're concerned about how well we're doing right now. That sort of measurement can start to feel suffocating and can drown us over a period of time.
Have you ever been in the situation where, no matter what you do, it feels like you're just not moving fast enough? That's a hard feeling to get rid of, especially when we're just focused on where we "should" be in our lives.
Instead, when we focus on momentum, we're focusing on what (usually small) daily actions we're making. Are we showing up every single day, even if it's just for 10 minutes? Are we focused when we do show up? Are we, most importantly, having fun regularly, even if it's just a little bit?
When we're momentum-focused, we're not overly concerned about the results of those actions. The results will come (providing the actions are positive.) Instead, all we care about is taking the proper actions themselves. That's it.
And this momentum makes us feel amazing
Which leads to longer lasting, better-feeling, and easier-to-get results. The better we feel throughout the process of doing what we do, then the easier it is to get more stuff done than anyone else.
We've all been in the situation where we have a new goal, and then try to do way too many things at once - all in the name of getting to our goal quickly.
Unfortunately, we've also seen the fallout of this process: we quit the very thing we set out to do, make absolutely no headway, and we're back to square one, or even worse, so burnt out on what we were doing that it becomes harder to ever come back to it.
There are two curves that could represent our careers
This one, as you can see, is full of ups and downs. Lots of peaks and valleys, good times and bad.
And this one is a smooth upward ascent that leads us to a good result in the end.
If we were to try to predict where the first curve goes next, it would be impossible
We have no idea if things are going to go up or down, nor how wild the swing will be.
But what about the second curve? It's a pretty safe bet that it'll just keep going up.
Which would you rather have?
The thing is, both of these curves are accurate
When we focus on our progress, there will be crazy ups and downs. Good times and bad. A constant roller coaster of emotion and worry.
However, when we simply focus on the momentum we have in our lives, then we intuitively know that we're always doing the right thing.
That's all that matters in the long term. Things flow much smoother and we're not nearly as worried day-to-day as we normally would be.
So how do we start focusing on momentum instead of progress?
We begin by focusing on our daily actions, however small they are. We have goals, sure, but we don't worry about when they're going to be hit - only that we take daily action towards them.
If you're like most people in this community, you probably want a career in games (or want to upgrade your already-existing career.) That's awesome.
Here are some small tasks you can do regularly to build your momentum to ludicrous degrees:
Send emails to people you respect in your industry and set up meetings with them
Attend networking events
Practice your craft daily
Share your work on social media
Read - even if it's just 1 page a day
Take an online class
Hang out with high performing friends
Tell people important to you that you love them
Learn to monotask
Get help from any online communities you're apart of
Study personal/business finance
Send thank you messages to industry leaders
"But Akash, you cocoa powder dusting atop a piece of fine tiramisu," I hear you say "won't there be ups and downs in our career no matter what?"
Yes, absolutely there will be.
But, if we're focused on our daily actions - on our generation of momentum - then those down times don't feel so bad, and those up times won't inflate our ego, thus allowing us to keep creating results forever.
Though in our desire to create momentum
It's easy to take on too much at once.
I'd recommend using the Ivy Lee method - where you assign yourself up to 6 work-related tasks a day. If you don't complete all 6 tasks that day - that's totally fine. Just transfer them to the next day and keep chipping away at your work.
And yes, there is such a thing as negative momentum
This is when we have bad habits that gradually drag us back slowly and insidiously.
Most people fall prey to drugs, alcohol, eating poorly, and other escapist behaviors that draw them into a deeper and deeper rut. When I'm dealing with it, I often fall into YouTube rabbit holes watching reviews for things I don't even plan on buying for days on end.
It happens to all of us. The key is to be aware of what's happening and start inserting the good habits back into our lives.
So, let's recap what we've learned
Momentum should be measured over progress
Focusing on our daily actions instead of how "well" we're doing leads to better results in the long term
Increasing our momentum stops the worry that occurs when our progress isn't where we think it "should" be
Water computers whip ass
While we may not be building a water computer anytime soon
We can still learn from the example set by that thing. While it was a great help for Russian concrete, it did much more for Russian computing over the long term than anyone could have predicted.
Focusing on our daily tasks and actions instead of our progress will do the exact same for us - giving us greater direction, joy, and results without constantly wondering why we're not "there" yet.
Where are you going to add more momentum into your life?
Is it going for a walk every day? Showing up to class/meetings a bit early every time? Chipping away at an online course daily? Reading a book about getting your finances in order?
Pick one thing, one area of your life that you want more momentum in, and start doing the small actions today.
Building momentum in our careers is tough
And doing it all alone is even tougher. That's why I've created two free courses to help you find work, network, negotiate, and build a freelance career in the game industry.
