The Structure of Jupiter's Ring System as Revealed by the Galileo Imaging Experiment
Ockert-Bell, Maureen E.

Veverka, Joseph
Belton, M. J. S.
Klaasen, Kenneth P.
The jovian ring system was observed during four orbits of Galileo's nominal mission, when 25 clear-filter images of the rings were taken at spatial resolutions of 23 to 134 km/pixel; the ring appeared fortuitously in an additional 11 images. The tenuous jovian ring system (normal optical depths<10-5) has three components: the halo, main ring, and gossamer ring.
The innermost component, atoroidal halo, extends radially from approximately 92,000 to about 122,500 km (near the 3 : 2 Lorentz resonance) and has a full-width, half-maximum thickness of 12,500 km; its brightness decreases with height off the equatorial plane and decreases as the planet is approached. Themain ringreaches from the halo's outer boundary across 6440 to 128,940 km, just interior to Adrastea's orbit (128,980 km); at its outer edge, the main ring takes nearly 1000 km to develop its full brightness. The ring's brightness noticeably decreases around 127,850 km in the vicinity of Metis' semimajor axis (127,980 km). The precise location and nature of the main ring's outer periphery may shift slightly from image to image; the same is true for the "notch" near Metis. The main ring has a faint, vertically extended component that thickens as the halo region is approached. Brightness variations of ±10% are visible in the central main ring and may be due to vertical corrugations, density clumps, or "spokes" in the ring. Unexplained differences between the near- and far-arm brightnesses are visible. We have discovered that thegossamer ring, lying exterior to the main ring, has two primary components, each of which is fairly uniform: one originates just interior to Amalthea's orbit (181,366 km) while the other is situated radially interior to Thebe's orbit (221,888 km). Very faint material continues past Thebe, blending into the background at 250,000 km. The gossamer rings have thicknesses that are comparable to the maximum elevations of these satellites off Jupiter's equatorial plane; from Galileo's nearly equatorial view, the gossamer rings present rectangular end-profiles with greater intensities along their top and bottom surfaces. The rings seem to be derived from the satellites.

Michael Phelps, Tony Parker cherish winning more with age
By Jon AckermanJul 18, 2016, 12:56 PM EDT
The U.S. Olympic swim team is training in San Antonio, and last week was greeted by two kings of the town, Gregg Popovich and Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs.
The king of the Olympics, Michael Phelps, got some one-on-one time with the basketball legends, affording he and Parker, who will make his second Olympic appearance for France in Rio, the chance to discuss the athlete's experience at the Games.
Having won four NBA titles, Parker gave Phelps some perspective as the swimmer embarks on his fifth and final Olympics.
"He said – and I thought this was really cool, I thought about it a lot last night – you don't remember your first championship or Olympics, but the more you do, the harder it gets and the more you appreciate it," Phelps said of Parker's comments during a press conference. "I think that was really cool to listen to."
If they had the time, Phelps said he could have listened to them for much longer.
"Pop's awesome," Phelps said with a smile. "I mean, he's just so cool. I literally could have sat there and talked to him and Tony for hours…. Pop's a straight shooter. I like people like that. There's no B.S.; he just kind of gives it to you how it is.
"I think that's something that is really special and I think it talks a lot about how good they are and how passionate they are. There's a reason why [the Spurs are] always up there."
Popovich has led the Spurs to five NBA championships since 1999.

Flambeau, Wisconsin
According to baptismal records, Flambeau served as a mission of Chippewa Falls as early at 1866. In 1879, the Franciscan Friars were given charge of the mission. They built a church starting in the spring of 1880. Bishop Kilian Flasch of La Crosse dedicated St. Francis of Assisi Church in 1881. In 1884, a 26 by 30 ft. dwelling was erected in the rear of the church building. Records show that a Franciscan Fr. John Gafron served the mission from 1879 to 1882, traveling by foot from Bayfield. In 1907, Bishop Augustine Schinner assigned Fr. Peter Rice, pastor of St. Mary Church in Bruce, to serve as pastor of St. Francis. It remained a mission church of St. Mary until 1989, when it was assigned to St. John Parish of Sheldon. In 1999, St. Francis became part of a cluster with Bruce, Weyerhaeuser and Strickland. St. Francis celebrated its centennial in 1981 and still remains. It is listed on the historical registry. In 1994, under the pastorate of Fr. Gerard Willger, the church was renovated. The original church building became the church hall. A new church was built onto the existing building, replacing the old rectory built in 1884. Today, St. Francis serves the lake front community of the Lake Holcombe area.


Our kittens were six months old again this week – they were somewhat new to us and so still shy, but they were adopted by the end of the weekend anyway.
There was also a pair of black ones that never got photographed, they were adopted too.
I am so happy for them and their lucky new families.
They're all very cute. How awesome that they all got adopted so quickly!

HAWAII'S KILAUEA VOLCANO ERUPTS
One of the most active volcanos on Earth is erupting on Hawaii's Big Island. Officials with the US Geological Survey confirmed Wednesday that an eruption has begun in Kilauea volcano's Halemaumau crater at the volcano's summit.
Webcam footage of the crater showed lava fountains covering the floor of the crater and billowing clouds of volcanic gas were rising into the air. The same area has been home to a large lava lake at various times throughout the volcano's eruptive past.
The eruption is not in an area with homes and is entirely contained within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
"All signs indicate that it will stay within the crater," said Ken Hon, the USGS scientist in charge of Hawaii Volcano Observatory. "We're not seeing any indications that lava is moving into the lower part of the east rift zone where people live. Currently all the activity is within the park."
The volcano's alert level has been raised to "warning" and the aviation code changed to red.
Earlier Wednesday, officials said increased earthquake activity and ground swelling had been detected, and at that time raised the alert levels accordingly.
Kilauea had a major eruption in 2018 that destroyed more than 700 homes and displaced thousands of residents. Before that eruption, the volcano had been slowly erupting for decades, but mostly not in densely populated residential areas.
Before the major 2018 eruption, Kilauea had been erupting since 1983 and streams of lava occasionally covered rural farms and homes. During that time, the lava sometimes reached the ocean, causing dramatic interactions with the water.
Over four months in 2018, Kilauea spewed enough lava to fill 320,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools, burying an area more than half the size of Manhattan in up to 80 feet (24 meters) of now-hardened lava. The molten rock reduced landmarks, streets and neighborhoods to a vast field of blackened boulders and volcanic shard.
After the 2018 eruption the summit lava lake stopped erupting and for the first time in recorded history began to fill with water, raising concerns about the possibility of an explosive interaction between lava and groundwater.
The same area of the volcano that began erupting Wednesday also erupted in December and lasted until May.
Hon said these types of eruptions could be happening for years as the volcano fills up.
"We do know that one thing that happens is that the magma keeps coming in to Kilauea at a pretty constant rate and so it's either filling the inside of the volcano and repressurize it or it's coming out to the surface."
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park spokesperson Jessica Ferracane told The Associated Press that she had not yet arrived at the park, but that colleagues reported seeing some lava spatter and glow within the summit crater.
"He saw that from Volcano House, which is at least 2 miles away from the eruption site, so I suspect … we'll be able to see a pretty glow, and who knows what else," she said.
The Volcano House is a hotel and restaurant within the national park adjacent to the visitor center. The park is open to visitors.
Ferracane said the area that is erupting is not close to where people can hike or drive. Trails downwind from the eruption have been closed for years.
"The park is open and there are no road closures at this time," Ferracane said.
Ferracane added that officials are expected tens of thousands of visitors to flock into the park and that people need to be very careful both in terms of natural hazards and COVID-19.
"This eruption is going to draw many people to the park, we're already seeing people come into the park, drive in after dark tonight," Ferracane said. "Really need people to remember that we are in the middle of a pandemic and they need to stay safe and to keep us safe, too."
She said people must maintain six feet of distance and wear masks.
"If you're sick, please don't come. Come visit another day. Enjoy the views from the webcam," she said. "We really want to not have these current eruption conditions increase the spread of COVID."

India batsmen to improve show in 2nd ODI
Edited By Odishatv Bureau Published By Odishatv Bureau On Dec 1, 2011 - 2:11 PM
Visakhapatnam: After narrowly escaping defeat in the series opener, India would look to guard against complacency and hope for an improved showing from their batsmen when they take on the West Indies in the second cricket one-dayer here tomorrow.
The opening match of the five-match series in Cuttack two days ago saw an inexperienced Indian bowling restrict the Caribbean side for a paltry 211 for nine. But chasing the modest total, India`s much-fancied batting line-up faltered and if not for comeback man Rohit Sharma`s 99-ball 72, the home team could have been down 0-1 in the series.
India`s inexperienced pace trio of R Vinay Kumar (1/27), Varun Aaron (2/47) and Umesh Yadav (2/33) not only excelled with the ball in Cuttack but also showed amazing calmness while batting to set up the thrilling one-wicket victory for the hosts. Needing 11 runs off 23 balls under tense situation, the last wicket pair of Aaron and Yadav kept their calm and saw India home with seven balls to spare.
And the Indian thinktank obviously will not want a repeat of the Cuttack episode, especially on a run-belter at the Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, where the hosts have an all-win record in the three matches they played here. India`s stand-in captain Virender Sehwag, who is leading the side in place of regular skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has already cautioned the batsmen after the Cuttack match, saying there should not be any excuse for poor show.
"There is no excuse for anybody not scoring runs," he said about India`s batting collapse in the first ODI. We have to back our batting. We have some exciting youngsters playing for last three four years," Sehwag said.
But Dhoni, who has been rested for the series keeping in mind the upcoming tour of Australia, will be sorely missed by the spectators here. Hosting a match after more than two years, the venue remains a testimony of Dhoni`s rise to stardom as it is this ground where he scored his maiden ODI sentury, a blistering 148 off 123 balls against Pakistan in 2005.
But in the absence of senior players like Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh and Sachin Tendulkar, the cricket-crazy crowd of the port city would be looking towards Sehwag to produce a gem of an innings tomorrow. Sehwag, who was bowled by an incoming Kemar Roach delivery in Cuttack, would also be keen to improve his batting record as captain. He averages a poor 21.50 with 44 being his best score from eight matches as skipper.
Wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel also would be eyeing to make amends for his poor show in Cuttack and cash in on yet another oppotunity with both bat and gloves in place of Dhoni.
Among other Indian top-order batsmen, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina, who all disappointed in Cuttack, will be desperate to avoid yet another collapse by returning among runs tomorrow. Apart from Rohit, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was the other Indian batsmen to provide some resistence in the first ODI with a gritty 62-ball 38, and he would be hoping to convert his starts into big scores.
The inexperienced Indian bowlers, on the other hand, impressed all and sundry with their performance in Cuttack. The three-pronged pace attack of Vinay Kumar, Yadav and Aaron stood up and grabbed their chances with both hands so far in the absence of seniors like Zaheer Khan and Praveen Kumar, who are out with injuries. And the trio would once again look to strangle the West Indies batsmen with a tidy performance tomorrow.
On the spin department front, R Ashwin, who bowled tightly in the first ODI, would like to continue his dream form. Ashwin will share the responsibility of spin attack with Jadeja and part-timers Raina and Rohit as India are all set to field an unchanged side tomorrow in search of a 2-0 lead.
West Indies too have problems galore in their batting department which they need to sort out immediately to stand in with any chance of upsetting the home team in the ODI series after the 2-0 loss in the Test rubber. In the first ODI, all the West Indies top-order batsmen got starts but except Darren Bravo, no one could capitalise on them. Bravo, who scored a 74-ball 60 in the first match, will be the batting mainstay for the Caribbean side, which is full of allrounders.
But the need of the hour for captain Darren Sammy is a solid opening foundation and he would bank on Lendl Simmons, who has a good record against the Indians, and Adrian Barath for that. For the West Indies, the last match was another so-near-yet-so far story in the series. And it remains to be seen whether they learn from the mistakes, having let India win from a precarious position in the first ODI.
With good knowledge of subcontinental conditions, big-hitting all-rounder Kieron Pollard will be the key man for the visitors and the West Indies thinktank may just look to bring him up the order. "We all have seen what he (Pollard) has done here in IPL.
Last time he played in the World Cup, he batted well. He has a lot of knowledge about the Indian conditions and Indian players having played here for three seasons," skipper Sammy had said. "We look forward to his knowledge and experience. We will look to use that into effect," Sammy added.
The Kemar Roach-led West Indies bowling attack, however, showed in the last match that they have what it takes to trouble the famed Indian batsmen on their home ground. In the absence of Ravi Rampaul, who was rested, Roach, who picked up three wickets, and his colleagues dished out lethal performance to make life diffuclt for the Indian batsmen.
But the spin department remains a worry for Sammy and the visitors may just look to strengthen the area by handing out a debut to off-spinner Sunil Narine, who was impressive in this year`s Champions League T20 in India.

A: У вас функция ищет максимум. Чтобы она искала минимум нужно исправить на f(ml) > f(mr). Можно написать универсальный вариант :
Поиск минимума / максимума :
// если направление левой части такое же как в середине
// то левую часть отбрасываем
if((f(l)-f(ml))*(f(ml)-f(mr)) > 0)
    l = ml;
else
  // если направление правой части такое же как в середине
  // то правую часть отбрасываем
    if((f(ml)-f(mr))*(f(mr)-f(r)) > 0)
        r = mr;
    else {
      // если обе средние точки равны, то их
      // и выбираем обе
        l = ml ;
        r = mr; }

или попроще, без умножений :
if(((f(l)>f(ml))&&(f(ml)>f(mr))) ||
   ((f(l)<f(ml))&&(f(ml)<f(mr))))
    l = ml;
else
    r = mr;

Sedating Agitated Patients: A Comparison of Five Regimens
Sumit Patel, MD
Physicians treat agitated patients on a daily basis in the emergency department (ED). In many cases, it is challenging to distinguish the cause of the agitation, and these patients require thorough workups. A recent study, published in Annals of Emergency Medicine, provides us with better quality data to help guide our utilization of particular intramuscular medications used to treat acute agitation.[1]
In this prospective observational study, researchers compared the efficacy of four agents that can be utilized for undifferentiated agitation in the ED. The study was conducted at an inner city level 1 trauma center with an annual census of more than 100,000 visits between June 2017 and October 2017. In total, 737 patients were enrolled. Medications were dispensed according to a protocol that involved using one specific study agent during 3-week blocks. The intramuscular medications and doses tested included haloperidol 5 mg, midazolam 5 mg, olanzapine 10 mg, haloperidol 10 mg, and ziprasidone 20 mg.
The primary outcome was the proportion of patients adequately sedated at 15 minutes, using the Altered Mental Status Scale to quantify level of sedation. The only inclusion criterion was a patient requiring medication for acute agitation. Exclusion criteria were age younger than 18 years and being a prisoner or under arrest. The median age for enrolled patients was 40 years, with a range of 18-77 years. Researchers requested the treating medical professionals to categorize their suspected cause of the patient's agitation into one of the following: alcohol intoxication, drug intoxication, psychiatric, medical, or a combination of causes.
Data revealed that midazolam 5 mg had the highest proportion of patients adequately sedated at 15 minutes compared with the other medications. Olanzapine had a higher proportion of patients adequately sedated at the 15-minute mark than did haloperidol 5 mg, haloperidol 10 mg, and ziprasidone. Complication rates were low overall and similar across the various medications.
What Medications Do You Commonly Use to Sedate Patients?
This study was helpful, as it directly compared several medications used to treat undifferentiated agitation in the ED setting specifically in a prospective design. While a randomized controlled trial would have been ideal, researches explained at length that they had intended to conduct this type of study initially but ran into approval issues with the US Food and Drug Administration. The study certainly has important limitations, as it was conducted in a large urban academic ED. However, researchers did enroll a sufficient number of patients to power their study based on their calculations.
In my own practice, I have utilized intramuscular haloperidol with or without intramuscular lorazepam and diphenhydramine the most. I have also utilized ziprasidone, ketamine, and midazolam. My preferred option was midazolam, as I anecdotally had good results with this drug. However, midazolam has been on shortage in many of the departments in which I currently work, thus requiring the use of alternative options.
While this trial's results do not suddenly mean that we should all use intramuscular midazolam for the acutely agitated patient, it does provide some evidence to suggest it may be the right way to go in most cases. Ultimately, all medical professionals working in the ED will need to carefully determine which medication to use, and it can vary significantly case by case owing to the patient's age, prior medical history, allergies, and the suspected cause of the agitation. It is without a doubt that future studies will likely build on this trial and, hopefully, provide stronger evidence to help our decision-making for patient care.

Life had not turned out the way I had hoped and planned. And I wasn't happy about it.
In fact, I was discontent with everything. It's not that I wanted "more," I just wanted "different." I found myself feeling stuck in a life I didn't love and powerless to change it.
When life is hard, heartbreaking or even just disappointing, it's easy to start disliking life altogether. Especially when we feel as if life should be one way, but instead it's another way entirely, and it may not even be our fault. When this happens, we can easily get stuck in a negative mindset — not only about life, but possibly about God — both of which open the door for discontentment to settle in.
We can feel stuck when a difficult situation rages into our lives and we don't like it one bit, yet can't escape it. We can feel stuck when it seems we've done everything possible to bring about change of some sort — yet nothing seems to ever change. Or when we're constantly trying to manipulate things to go our way, control things out of our control, or change people whom we have no power to change.
When our lives are filled with obligations we "have to" meet, or responsibilities we know we "should" or "must" do, we can feel as if there is no way out and be unhappy about the perception of being stuck.
In these moments, it's easy to lose sight of all of the good things about our lives. Through faith alone, I've finally come to realize that even if it seems justified, I don't have to let discontentment poison my heart and mind. I don't have to let the things that are not perfect cause me to take life itself for granted. And I certainly don't have to let unhappiness with some things blind me to all the wonderful things in my life God has given me that bring me true joy.
Considering the apostle's difficult life, this is a pretty amazing attitude. He wrote these specific words while sitting in a prison cell. He'd been arrested on false charges by corrupt officials and faced the possibility of execution, yet he wrote that he'd learned to be content with whatever he had. Which at the moment was literally nothing, not even his freedom. How could he feel that way after all he'd been through … and while he was in prison?
In Philippians 4:13 we find the answer. Paul said, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." (NIV) Regardless of his circumstances and despite having endured much persecution and loss, Paul could live with peace and contentment because his heart was right with God. He knew his unwavering faith was the foundation for lasting contentment.
Life is not always exciting. It's not always easy. It's not always fair. It's not always overflowing with opportunity and adventure. Consequently, we're all going to feel a sense of unhappiness or discontentment from time to time. But we don't have to stay stuck there.
The life we are living today, with all it includes (or doesn't include), is the life God has given us. We can choose to be content and joyful in it, or choose to be the opposite.
Lord, help me be content with the way my life looks right now, rather than wishing it were different or better. Help me break free from feelings of discontentment and learn to live with a heart full of gratitude and love for the life You have given me, no matter what it may look like. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

SCHOTT manufactures its 100 millionth Ceran® cooktop panel and transforms the kitchen into a place for encounters.
Cooking is currently in and receives a great deal of media attention. But even far away from the tv cameras, more and more people are devoting a lot of their spare time to cooking. Nevertheless, the focus isn't always on elaborate recipes, but also on the kitchen as a meeting place. SCHOTT has contributed towards this development with its customized and futuristic products. Today, the kitchen is a room in which design and appearance are of major importance. This has not always been the case, however. At the beginning of the 20th century, kitchens mainly performed a practical function and offered very little technical support or design. Cooking technology continued to develop during the postwar period. Electric coil ranges became mass products, yet offered hardly any latitude for individual designs. They were also difficult to clean and extremely sensitive to scratches. Cooking on glass ceramic was hard to imagine back then.
This finally changed in 1971 when a company called Imperial presented the first Ceran® cooktop panel at Domotechnica. It was developed from the ceramic material Zerodur®, which had been used as a mirror substrate for astronomical telescopes. This product innovation marked the beginning of a new era for the home appliance industry and revolutionized the stove in terms of both technology and design. This smooth and easy to clean cooktop panel made everyday life a lot easier, saved time while cooking and gave the stove and, therefore, the entire kitchen a more luxurious look.
In the meantime, SCHOTT Ceran® has managed to become an important design element; therefore manufacturing of this glass ceramic has nearly doubled over the last five years. In the fall, SCHOTT will manufacture its 100 millionth cooktop panel. "The expansion of capacities in order to meet rising demand and the quality expectations of our customers was largely responsible for this increase," says Dr. Ioannis Kosmas, Vice President of the Glass Ceramics Business Segment. "This included automated manufacturing techniques and a patented technology for the melting process that is unique in the world today," he adds.


This royal blue tie is an eye-catching accessory that will elevate a smart-casual look. It is crafted from luxurious pure silk with a subtle weave that lends a textured effect.
This design has a contemporary slim width, which will still appear sophisticated even when you remove your jacket.
An all-over triangle print in white gives the piece a modern edge – perfecting for pairing with the corresponding lapel pin for a discreet coordinating finish. Slip it on with a tailored blazer and a matching waistcoat for a day at the races.

The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards announced that eleven Montana teachers have successfully earned National Board Certification (NBC).
According to the Montana Professional Teaching Foundation (MPTF), which administers the program in Montana, Montana now has 139 National Board Certified Teachers.
"These educators are GREAT representatives of Montana teachers who work every day to give our students the absolute best education possible," said MPTF Chair Eric Feaver.
Achieving National Board Certification is no easy feat. Candidates have up to three years to complete four component entries documenting their teaching performance. There are three classroom-centered components one of which must include videotaped evidence of quality instruction. Most candidates spend from 120 to 200 hours preparing these components with the intent of subjecting their performance to rigorous professional peer evaluation.
Once they have submitted their classroom components candidates sit for a written performance assessment targeted to measure ability to instruct and convey information to students.
Candidates do not learn if they have successfully earned National Board Certification for nearly six months after they have completed all their work.
The state of Montana provides a stipend of up to $2,000 per year to National Board Certified Teachers. In addition, many local school districts likewise provide an annual NBC stipend.
Following are the Montana's eleven new National Board Certified teachers, their school districts, and their NBC specialty.

Oil on panel, 11" x 14". This is the twelfth painting in the never-ending series of still life paintings with movement. I love planning and painting these studies in shadow manipulation. Especially fun for me was the magnification the linen weave in the transparent green marble.
Oil on panel, 11" x 14". Falling eggs. Easter Egger hens have lovely colors. Natural colors.
This painting is an homage of sorts to Jackson Pollock. His famous splash paintings are directly opposite from my style. I couldn't resist these falling paint brushes.
It was only in the gallery for a couple of weeks.
A commission for the birthday of a young friend whose chicken, Edison, laid her first egg. It was blue! This is the first time I've used a light colored frame. I like it, it doesn't overpower the painting.

Not that I've noticed. Haven't had any other comments about it.


A bunch of new prints suddenly appeared on chopshopstore.com and are even nerdier than a whole boat load of robot icons. Nerd Rider (left) is actually the original version of a tshirt that has mysteriously disappeared from our collection due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. The Craftsman (center) was inspired by the video game World of Warcraft and the actual real-life appearance of most of the "warriors" that play the game. Finally, The Squid and the Robot (right) was inspired by the prevalence of of both squids and robots in tshirt designs during the year 2009.
All digital prints are produced and printed on archival Moab Rag Bright white and the weight is 190 GSM. The size of these particular 3 pieces is 13″x19″.

Собор Христа Спасителя (/Saborni hram Hrista Spasa u Prištini) — недостроенный православный храм Сербской православной церкви, расположенный в Приштине, Косово.

История
Старая Сербская православная церковь Христа Спасителя была построена в 14 веке в старой части города Приштина. В 13-м и 14-м веках сербские короли возвели 12 других православных церквей и монастырей в Приштине, где также был королевский двор, используемый сербскими монархами. С приходом османской оккупации церковь Христа Спасителя была снесена (как и другие христианские святыни), а ее материал был использован для строительства мечети Пиринез (одна из главных приштинских мечетей сегодня). Только в 19 веке сербам было разрешено построить свою первую церковь в Приштине после четырех веков. Это была маленькая церковь Святого Николая. Однако с увеличением сербского населения Приштины сербы решили построить новую церковь после Второй мировой войны. Коммунистические власти категорически отказались дать свое разрешение и даже конфисковали всю церковную собственность в городе. Только после 1989 года земельный участок и разрешение властей на строительство были наконец получены. Строительство церкви началось в 1993 году. По проекту профессора Спасое Крунич и профессора Любиса Фолиц. Золотой крест был установлен на вершине купола в 1999 году, когда здание пришлось остановить из-за восстания ОАК в провинции и бомбардировки НАТО Сербии. Церковь была оставлена недостроенной, и после трех лет постоянной защиты СДК теперь остается окруженной только колючей проволокой. Косовские албанские экстремисты подожгли церковь 13 июля 1999 года, а через несколько недель в здании произошел взрыв.

Возведение храма на территории кампуса Приштинского университета было начато в 1992 году и должно было закончиться к 1999 году. Это строительство не приветствовалось населением Косово, исповедующим преимущественно ислам.

С началом Косовской войны строительство было остановлено. Различные представители косовской интеллигенции, называя собор символом правления Слободана Милошевича, призывали к его сносу.

В настоящее время право собственности на здание и землю, на которой оно расположено, оспаривается между Сербской православной церковью и современным Приштинским университетом.

10 июня в храме впервые за 20 лет прошла литургия, приуроченная к празднику Вознесения Господня. Событие вызвало негативную реакцию албанской оппозиции и студенчества (храм находится на кампусе Приштинского университета). Брат бывшего премьера Косово Рамуша Харадиная и кандидат на пост градоначальника Приштины — Даут Харадинай от имени ветеранов «Освободительной армии Косово» назвал литургию «оскорблением граждан Косово» и провокацией.

11 июня на стенах храма появились оскорбительные граффити в отношении сербов. Перед храмом днем провели акцию протеста косовоалбанские студенты с лозунгами антисербского содержания. Представители Сербской православной церкви (СПЦ) осудили действия провокаторов.

При съемке клипа для Эры Истрефи собор попал в кадр, этим возмутились в СПЦ. Позже сторона певицы заявила что не было намерения оскорблять сербов, и что у них было разрешение снимать видео у входа в церковь.

Film and video student already paving his path
April 14, 2011 June 17, 2015 Brady Bowers / News Writing Student
Dojo Studio in Norman is the brainchild of OCCC student Dylan Johnson.
"I wanted to not follow any rules or conventions of typical business models, and give myself a place to work, meet clients, and give artists and musicians a dirty underground place to play shows and hang art," Johnson said.
He said he worked on web design at Orange Coast College in California, but took most of his multimedia and computer classes at OCCC where he graduated with a degree in diversified studies.
At the moment, he is finishing up coursework for his degree in Film and Video Production.
Johnson said he and others associated with Dojo Studio have produced websites, rock shows, music festivals, art shows, clothing designs, photography, videography, logos, press releases, business cards, fliers, and "pretty much about everything in between."
The inspiration to create his studio came from his firsthand experience at a party in Los Angeles, at a place called BoxEight.
"It reminded me of Hansel's house in 'Zoolander' because it was so cool it was almost comical," he said.
The images stuck with Johnson and helped shape his own ideas about making a similar setting.
He said Dojo Studio became his ideal work and play place. He wanted to create something that had not been done yet in Oklahoma.
When he lived in Costa Mesa, Calif., Johnson said, he visited different art galleries, bars, and studios, collecting his thoughts and reflecting on each place he saw.
Dojo Studio's name came about more or less by happenstance.
The word dojo in its origin means place or way.
"But the conception was not that deep," he said.
When Johnson and his friends noticed the last occupant of the venue left behind little karate guy clipart on the windows, it produced the idea of a dojo, a training place for martial arts.
The name of the studio ultimately originated out of an inside joke, but they tried to keep the name pretentiously meaningful.
"I'm still surprised when I meet people from out of town who have heard of the studio," Johnson said.
"I am happy every time I book a new photo shoot or website. But, at the end of the day, we just try to live by our creed. What would Don Draper do?"
Dojo Studio has been open for more than a year now. For more information, go online at www.whatisdojo.com.

Badminton Courts in George Town Penang
Filed Under (MM2H Guidance)
Malaysia is a country that places a lot of importance in badminton as a sport, while Penangites are people who enjoy a good game even if they are not going for any competitions or championships. Every child would have had played badminton in school before during recess time or after school while waiting for the school bus from a bus leasing company. So it is not surprising that Penang has several sports complexes offering badminton courts as one of the many facilities.
Permata Sports Complex
One of the popular courts in Penang is the one situated at Farlim, Air Itam, called Permata Sports Complex. It is a sports complex with tennis courts, squash courts and swimming pool as well, and the indoor badminton courts are often fully booked especially during the weekends. The courts are nicely spaced, and the roof is high enough to allow for good ventilation. Some people may go for a swim after a good game of badminton, and for those who are training professionally, they may opt to go for some weight training at the gym.
There is a total of 9 courts altogether in the hall. Since the courts are so popular, operating hours had been extended until 1 o'clock in the morning. For those who are there ad-hoc, badminton rackets are available for rent at RM1.00 per hour. There is also stringing services at the badminton shop at the entrance of the badminton court that also sells shuttlecocks, rackets and grips. Hence, you may get the full services for your badminton needs while you are playing at the court.
Penang Badminton Center
The Penang Badminton Center is in Bukit Dumbar, a popular venue for joggers errain. runners through an upward hill terrain. The court there is a little bit dark, hence the need for strong lightings. The courts are usually fully booked, and there is also small shop just outside of its entrance for stringing services, also selling rackets, some badminton clothes and shoes. They have an association running the centre, which is the Penang Badminton Association.
Aside from the jogging and running facilities at the Bukit Dumbar, plus the other usual facilities in the recreational parks in Penang, there is nothing else there, perhaps just an Indian temple. However, they do have an in-house trainer for those who are going for professional tournaments.
One of the halls in PESTA had been converted into a badminton court a few years ago, and it is run by WRC Sports Enterprise by ex-national player, Ong Ewe Chye. He trains a team of young players there, and the courts are also open for booking. It is a popular court for those working in the Penang Free Industrial Zone and other factories, and some have made regular bookings of the court. Stringing service is available, and there are also some sports equipments too, though not restricted to badminton. Squash and tennis rackets are also available.
Each year during the PESTA Pulau Pinang affair in December, there will be a badminton championship which draws players from around Malaysia and from other countries as well. Players from Taiwan and some of Malaysia's big names that had carved their reputation overseas such as Allan Tai had also joined the tournament before, for the fun sake of it. Other players will include the regulars who rent the courts at PESTA and joining the championship is only for the sake of finding an opportunity to play with the stars.
There are ten courts available at PISA, although sometimes it can be quite a disappointment when the courts had to be closed to make way for exhibitions and other functions. It will be difficult to make long-term bookings at PISA courts because of this.
The badminton court at YMCA is just a small one, perhaps because its original intention was to build the facility for those staying at the hostels. There is a sports shop just next to it where stringing services are available, together with the sales of shoes and sports attire. There are regulars at the courts, and most are veterans. For example, every Friday there are two groups: one group with players in their late 30s and early 40s, while another group are players in their 50s and 60s.
Other sports clubs do have badminton court facilities. Among them are CRC, Penang Sports Club and Yesterday Club. They may not have a lot of courts available, and priority is given to their members. Schools may also offer courts such as the Sri Pinang school, Chung Hwa Confusion Primary School, St Xavier Primary School, Chung Hwa Secondary School, Chong Chen Primary School and Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Meanwhile, associations such as the Ramakrishna, the Headquarters of the Boy Scout and Girl Guide, St John Ambulance and the Leong or Gan Kongsi also offers their court for rental to public. Some residentials have facilities for their residents, such as the N-Park and U-Garden apartments. Two other unlikely places that have badminton court facilities for rent are Batu Lanchang market and the Island Park Holy Spirit Church.

The questions you ask before getting a credit card have a major effect on how successful your financial strategy becomes. Are the credit card yearly fees worth it? Where will you use the card? What is the value of having a card?
First, what is the value of a credit card? If you lost your card or if it was stolen, your losses can run into thousands to millions of dollars especially if it was used by an identity thief. But, when it comes to the value of the plastic card itself, credit card companies can charge a certain amount for the card replacement. Others replace it for free.
Second, why would you use a credit card? Credit cards actually make sense, if you use it wisely. It can establish and improve your credit record especially if you pay on time; you can get discounts from stores, and it gives you instant money during emergency. There are also rewards; it comes with merchant protection guarantee and insurance on items you purchased with your credit card.
Third, are the credit card yearly fees worth it? This question is applicable to those who want to use credit cards as a tool in rebuilding their credit.
Too often, borrower's sign up for credit cards without considering the period in which they plan to use the card. For example, let's say you signed up for a credit card with $1,000 credit limit. You have 12 months in a year to consume it. When are you planning to use it? When will you stop?
Some people use their credit card for everyday purchase while others use it as an emergency fund. Be very clear about the purpose in using a particular card to avoid paying more than what you originally intended when you took the card.
People often take credit cards for long-term use and max out the limits for short-term goals. The problem with this attitude is that it increases your risk of borrowing more than what is necessary. Of course, one or two cash advances or big purchases may happen once in a while but if you do this long enough, you may end up broke. Match your credit cards with a time limit. You'll be much more comfortable with your finances if you do.
Can I afford to keep this credit card?
Do you have a long-term income to repay your credit card debt? Too often, people take out cards, max them out, fail to pay them off and end up with a bad credit. The way to avoid this situation is to think about your capacity to repay your credit card debt-even with unforeseen financial emergencies, before you get a credit card. Think about the credit card yearly fees, why you would use it, and its overall value.
If you have multiple credit card debts and you want to get rid of them, but your income is not enough to pay them all at once, why not try Australian Lending Centre's credit card debt consolidation? With a single loan, you can repay all of your debts. You no longer have to worry about the different credit card yearly fees, rates and limits.


Let plenty of lovely light in: Whatever addressing you use for the bay windows, be sure that the addressing can be used both in the real ways, i.e. permits light to enter and it can be used as a medium to boost privacy. Already these windows are constructed in a home by having an aim to enable maximum natural light to access your home. To incorporate one thing graceful to it, search for lightweight rollers, pleated blinds or plantation shutters that induce a lovely ambience by permitting sunlight to gently filter into the home.
Cozy up fully-lined fabrics: The bay windows are often covered with cup as compared to normal windows. But, if you think that glass coverings could make your place much more chilled than you can consider incorporating cosiness to your dwelling by using breathtaking fully lined materials in other words. curtains or blinds because they are ideal to help keep home insulated and in addition helps keeping in mind adequate amount of heat inside the space itself.
Select shutters for a striking impact: Shutters are all time favourite coverings for the windows of the house apart from blinds and curtains. All of the proprietors choose boosting the appearance of their house by setting up bay window shutters. They are customised and tailor-made to fit the space that is available. To obtain additional light enter your room, make certain you use shutters with large louvers. But, when your bay windows face a busy street, contemplate using shutters with small fans.
Trying to place the finishing touches in your interior decor, but can not determine which pair of window shades will suit that is best your needs? If practical procedure and sleek lines appeal to you, then plantation shutters and classic horizontal blinds are your two best options. So just how do you select between your charm that is rustic of shutters and the polished appearance of horizontal window blinds? Each design caters to property owners with different issues, including power efficiency, budget-friendly prices, durable durability, and versatile function, so that it is your responsibility to determine which criteria are the most important.
To be aware of read this and this link, kindly visit the internet site our website.
Horizontal blinds and plantation shutters may look comparable, but they each provide various advantages to homeowners. When searching for the window that is perfect for your home, weigh the good qualities and cons of each and every style.
That you gravitate toward blinds rather than drapes as your go-to window treatment if you prefer modern, clean lines over soft draping, chances are. But even once you've made that design choice, you've got a variety of certain blind and shutter choices to choose from. In addition to tackling details such as for instance material and color, you need to pick a window treatment structure that is basic. Horizontal blinds and plantation shutters will both give you a clean, sleek appearance you could personalize to fit your design scheme.
Horizontal blinds generally mount at the top of the window framework and hang down. You are able to open and close, raise and reduced the blinds using an connected cable, and can leave the blinds hanging the main means down the screen, if desired. Plantation shutters, having said that, are installed totally into the screen framework, and do not progress and down. They frequently available and close via a rod that manipulates the shutter that is entire louvers at once, or the whole shutter could be opened in to the room such as for instance a home.
Both blinds that are horizontal plantation shutters can be purchased in a myriad of colors and materials, though the selection is greater for conventional blinds. Most plantation shutters are manufactured from lumber or faux wood with tiny slats, although plastic normally an option; blinds can feature wider slats and can be found in plastic, aluminum, and other materials. Whenever selecting between the two, in addition to considering your selected colors, slat sizes, and materials, take into account the character regarding the room under consideration and whether the type of blinds or shutters would most useful complement that decor.


Lobbyists are destroying the democratic process.
As each new lobbying scandal is revealed, it becomes clearer and clearer that much of our so-called 'democratic' process is distorted by their hidden and insidious influence. There should be general outrage at the manner in which vested 'for profit' interests are allowed to play such a large part in determining policies which have such potentially damaging, even life-threatening, consequences. The conflict of interest in the energy companies' hold over government, juxtaposed to peak oil production and dangerous global climate change, takes the activity of lobbyists into a different league of global nihilism.
Three months before last year's election, David Cameron described commercial lobbying as the "next big scandal waiting to happen". He said it had "tainted our politics for too long" and "exposes the far-too-cosy relationship between politics, government, business and money".
But in spite of David Cameron's assertion, there have been many extremely troubling disclosures about lobbying over the last 18 months…. private health providers being deeply involved with Andrew Lansley's NHS reforms, employment protection insurer, Unum's help in constructing the Welfare reform bill (1); Atlantic Bridge, Werrity, Liam Fox; and now the boasts of easy access to top Conservatives by PR company, Bell-Pottinger (The Independent 5.12.11).
At least 50 employees of companies including EDF Energy, npower and Centrica have been placed within government to work on energy issues in the past four years, the Guardian can reveal. The staff is provided free of charge and work within the departments for secondments of up to two years.
… Consultancies with major energy practices also supplied expertise, including KPMG and Ernst & Young.
In a bi-lateral manner, civil servants are similarly seconded into energy industries, such as Shell and Horizon Nuclear Power (whose aim is to build nuclear power stations in the UK)… but notably not into the Renewable industries.
This is of particular currency, given Osborne's catastrophic Autumn Budget Statement, which provoked a flurry of letters to the Observer (4.12.11) from a broad alliance of countryside campaigners, wildlife groups and green activists. They accuse George Osborne of a "stunning disregard" for the environment (3).
Osborne told the Commons last Tuesday: "We are not going to save the planet by shutting down our steel mills, aluminium smelters and paper manufacturers. All we will be doing is exporting valuable jobs out of Britain." … he wanted to ensure that "gold plating of EU rules on things like habitats" was not putting "ridiculous costs" on firms…..
With the government outlining cuts in solar energy subsidies, reforming planning regulations and introducing tax support for energy-intensive industries, the chancellor's rhetoric has infuriated the green lobby. "Following the chancellor's autumn statement, we can say that the coalition is on a path to becoming the most environmentally destructive government to hold power in this country since the modern environmental movement was born," states one letter, signed by the green campaigners George Monbiot, Tony Juniper, Jonathon Porritt, Caroline Lucas, leader of the Green Party, and others.
That the Conservative Party has again revealed itself to be the 'nasty party' only interested in profitability, over-exploitation of natural resources and the 'redistribution of wealth upward… and offshore', is of little surprise.
However, that it has such total disregard for the findings of climate change scientists is nothing short of homicidal, particularly for those populations dwelling in the climate-vulnerable low lying countries.
New data revealed at the UN climate talks in Durban, show that carbon dioxide levels have increased by 49% since 1990, and this significantly reduces the world's chance of avoiding dangerous climate change.
She said the problem was urgent, as the chances of holding global temperature rises to less than 2C above pre-industrial levels (which scientists regard as the limit of safety) beyond which climate change becomes catastrophic and irreversible, were dependent on emissions peaking by 2020 at the latest.
However, far from abandoning fossil fuels, it is clear that the Tory-LDs are intent on expanding our reliance on gas fired power stations, and 'crowding out' renewable energy sources.
'The construction of new renewable energy generation capacity has fallen dramatically, as the big six energy suppliers pursue a "dash for gas" policy that could put the UK's climate change targets out of reach and leave households with higher bills.
The number of new wind turbines built this year is down by half on last year….
The pipeline of new projects has also stagnated – this year, 2,058MW of windfarms were submitted for planning permission, compared with 2,080MW in 2010, and the number approved dropped markedly, from 1,366MW in 2010 to 920MW.
This contrasts with the 30GW of new gas-fired power stations that are at planning stage. These will require tens of billions of pounds of investment, coming mostly from the big six energy suppliers.
And now we learn that nuclear is crowding out renewables. Total investment in UK renewable energy fell last year by 70%, the £200bn needed to create a low-carbon UK energy sector by 2020 is nowhere to be seen, and fossil-fuel gas-fired power stations are being given the go-ahead everywhere. The addiction to fossil fuels, so far from being broken, is actually tightening, even though over-dependence on gas exposes Britain to big energy bill rises from high and unpredictable world market prices.
And she could have added the one in four living in fuel poverty to her list.
And how do politicians determine their policies? At least part of the answer is given by the journalist behind the Independent's news story about Bell-Pottnger (9).
For there to be a democratic process in government, there needs to be transparency, and to remove the lobbyists, the transnational consultancies, and the industry placements, completely or at least, much further away from government policy making.
The big six energy providers have government over a barrel, and they do not want to see their profits or power disappear with de-centralised micro-generation of renewable energy; Hence, Exxons funding of climate deniers discrediting climate scientists; Hence, misinformation about the capacity and security of renewable energy production; Hence, the inflated claims for CCS (carbon, capture and storage).
The Centre for Alternative Technology have developed fully researched blueprints for rapidly de-carbonising the UK by 2030 but they are largely ignored by the political process (10). ZCB 2030 demonstrates that nuclear, gas-fired power stations, oil and expansion of coal mining are simply not necessary, and, furthermore, are not financially justifiable.
The only purpose that continued use of fossil fuels, serves is in creating profits for, and maintaining the political power base of those, who pay the PR consultancies and lobbyists.
Green capitalism just 'isn't working'.. and it is certainly 'hurting' the global biosphere. We desperately need politicians who put the needs of people and the environment before the profits of vested interests.

My mistake but brownie points for pointing it out. Thanks.


For our premium retreats we are very pleased to offer attendees the experience of staying in The Monastary - a very special venue steeped in history and amazing atmosphere.
No longer a purely christian venue The Monastery have opened their doors for corporate and retreat hosting, and welcome us to come and soak up the energy for our weekend retreats of Yoga, Meditation or Empowerment.
The Monastery property had several owners before being purchased by the Passionist Community in 1896.
The original 16 acres of land, including grapevines, was owned by Mr Arthur Hardy. In 1847, ownership passed to Mr Joseph Barrow Montefiore (whose brother was the inspiration for Montefiore Hill) who built a grand house in oriental design, named 'The Glen'. He surrounded it with well chosen, rare and imported trees and plants, some of which still grace the grounds, including a huge Morton Bay Fig and two fine Norfolk Island pines.
The property had two more landowners until 1896, when the Passionist Community purchased it for 2500 pounds.
Due to council recommendations, the original building was demolished in the early 1940s and gradually rebuilt to suit the changing needs of the monastic community. The unique Spanish styled architecture, with spacious verandahs and high ceilings, lends itself beautifully for use as a unique conference and function venue.
