A 12-member strong Business Delegation led by H.E Humaid Mohamed Ben Salem, Secretary General of UAE Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry visited Mauritius from 23rd to 25th October 2018.
In this context, the Economic Development Board organized a Business Forum & Networking Event, themed "Mauritius-UAE: Embarking on a new era of economic collaboration" on Wednesday 24th October 2018.
In his welcome address, Mr. Francois Guibert, CEO of the Economic Development Board, has reiterated the commitment of Mauritius to further enhance and consolidate bilateral ties with the United Arab Emirates with a view to bolster economic and trade between our two countries. It is worth noting that FDI inflows from the UAE to Mauritius has averaged USD 16 million annually over the past 5 five years, with an upswing of USD 28.6 in 2016.
Investment from the UAE into the Mauritian economy represents 4% of total FDI to Mauritius and the main sectors of interest being Real estate, Manufacturing, the Hospitality industry and Business services. Both countries have signed a Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) and an Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (IPPA) which has resulted in more than USD 10 Billion of investment flows between Mauritius and the UAE structured through the Global Business Sector. Mauritius can be a strategic partner to UAE companies venturing into Africa.
The keynote speaker, His Excellency Humaid Ben Salem, Secretary General of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the United Arab Emirates invited the Mauritian business community to take advantage of the UAE's economic and competitive strengths, as major gateway to the east and west regional markets. He further elaborated on the opportunities which exists in various sectors like agriculture, food, infrastructure, logistics, transport, tourism and telecommunications whereby both Mauritius and Dubai can cooperate, strengthen relations and create investment opportunities which can lead to potential joint ventures.
Mr. Marday Vencatasamy, President of the Mauritius Chamber of Commerce & Industry emphasized the long-standing partnership between Mauritius and Dubai on a number of economic and trade issues. In 2017, Mauritius imports from UAE was approximately USD 100 million worth of goods, while Mauritius exports was approximately USD 50 million . A Gross Direct Investment of nearly USD 50 million has been recorded from Dubai over the last two years, mainly in manufacturing, business services and real estate sectors. The collaboration between Mauritius and UAE is represented through the extensive air connectivity, with over 14 scheduled weekly flights.
The event provided a unique opportunity to showcase investment opportunities in both countries, act as a B-to-B platform and further consolidate economic ties between the two countries. It is anticipated that the networking sessions will allow economic operators to find avenues to further strengthen the economic corridor between the UAE and Mauritius.
Mauritius will participate in Dubai 2020 Expo with a full-fledged Pavilion which represents an excellent opportunity to showcase Mauritius' unique history, diverse culture and diverse economy.

Not a huge bug but one that is quite annoying to me.
I make a monk to start, got 16 wisdom (+3) and high dex, as to get a stupidly high ac. Well anyway, I make my character, get it to level 20 (as it is a test char) with ten levels in monk and ten in shadowdancer.
Now the shadow evade skill which gives you +20% concealment, +4 AC and +3 Soak 10 at level 10, well doesn't with this character. It only gives me +1AC. So after some tinkering I came to the conclusion that the shadowdancer bonus is added in the same way the monk wisdom bonus is, but these do not stack.
Extra note: it was a legal char with only basic items.
I'm sure I saw on the Bioboards that various SE bugs will be fixed in 1.31.
Also it could be that you are already using something with the same type of AC bonus as SE, therefore +1AC is because the SE bonus is only one over what you already have.
Just have to have that 65 ac, don't you?
Aye, living without 65 AC would be like living without a +39 AB.
+47 Base attack bonus? BASE?!?! Blimey, but bards do get high ABs, you ever tried matching a bard with an arcane archer? Nasty.
Toss a true strike scroll into that mix and HOT DAMN.

Big positive news for the all the US STEM Masters students and prospective highly skilled workers planning to come to America on H1B visa. Today the Comprehensive Immigration Reform ( CIR) passed the Senate Judiciary committee after a long debate. There are many aspects of the immigration bill, which got passed…But, in interest of our blog readers, we will cover the summary related to H1B Visas, Green card and Startup Visa and Comprehensive immigration bill changes.
The annual H1B Visas cap for highly skilled workers will be increased from 65,000 per year to 110,000 per year.
The advanced degree H1B cap for STEM degree holders from US schools, will be increased from 20,000 to 25,000 visas.
There are provisions mentioned in the bill that the H1B cap could be potentially increased to 180,000 per year, if there is extreme demand for highly skilled workers that fiscal year.
More stringent rules on H1B Visa approvals for companies that have about 15% of their workforce as H1B visa. Essentially, strict rules for someone who are planning to abuse the H1b program.
No Green Card limits for individuals with extraordinary abilities, especially research fellows, Professors, MNC executives, athletes.
A new 250,000 merit based visas to immigrate to USA. The point system will be based on education, employment, length of residence in US, etc. The 55,000 diversity visa lottery program that is currently used today will be removed to cater to needs of employment and merit.
We will post detail in-depth analysis in the upcoming articles. The Comprehensive Immigration reform is a mammoth 867 Page document …Phewwwww!
Next Steps on 2013 Immigration Bill and H1B Visa changes – Process ?
Current state is that the comprehensive bill passed Senate Judiciary committee with a 13 to 5 vote yesterday. Next step is to have this comprehensive immigration bill introduced in the Senate in next month for full round of debate. We will keep you posted with updates.
What are your thoughts ? Do you think these changes are good enough for future H1B visa seekers?
Your English is not that great either.
— Don't you know anything else "Chinatown"?
I want to go to amirca, to develope and get more eduction.i am 30 years old and i have passed my fsc in 2011.
Any News on CAP Increase or Is this BILL Dead as John Bohner said ? With the Election coming UP ?
Special if we avoid these three companies- TCS / Infy – Everybody will get a visa and it will never go to lottery at all.
See TCS Does 20,000 H1B Every Year Out of 65,000 CAP Limit.
So is Infy as well.
Read the Top VISA SPONSORS in My VISA JOBS Site.
Why don't you google it and find it out by yourself??
Besides your vocabulary is poor too.
We Should try to read English in Chinese Vocabulary.
Any news about CAP count increases?
No changes announced yet. Seeing the disinterest in Republican party for the Senate bill, don't have high hopes of anything happening anytime soon.
H-1B program is flawed beyond repair. It should be abolished in favor of something smarter. Corporations have no place being immigration middle men. Immigration is about something much more pure and sacrosanct than corporate profits. It needs to be abolished in favor of permanent immigration as opposed to corporate sponsorship. Immigration should be limited to 5% of net job gains each year. In years when we have job loss, It should be restricted. Off course there will be more people would applying than we have openings for. Then acceptance should be based on first come first serve basis. The case is about economics and national interest, and has nothing to do with race. The reason H1B visa holders are so easily exploited is because of corporate sponsorship. Green cards in sustainable numbers would make them equal players in the labor market. An H-1B visa amounts to second class labor and corporate sponsorship gives companies leverage against American workers wages and salary. This hurts American workers directly and it hurts us as a nation indirectly.
is there any updated news regarding CAP count increases to 110,000. will this pass for 2014 ?
I believe this is a beautiful and worthfull bill for candidates who die to go USA and settle there !
For those who wanted to work in USA liking the work culture over there, please move thru Merit based VISA's, i guess thats the only legible option we have.
They are not completely banning the entire H1 system they are just modifying it.
So the below will not occur.
Canadidates that do not even know english talking and understanding come to USA make money for 7 yrs (extn+extn) buy a apartment, one villa then settle down in india.
These guys thru High MNC's come and work like 24 hrs a day and set wrong trends. why, when you are paid only for eight hours ? that too very less.
then say americans work only 8 hours we work more, for what are you doing this ?
Low Wages and High Work times ????
Smart work and technically strong guys will resolute at a shorter time, for sure.
All Mainframe/OLD Tech -even domain knowledge workers like bank employees become— managers, never understand the technical abilities frm the resources and simply send onsites for those are managers pets ???? what a politics within the company, playing GOD ???
process so many H1B and many of my friends having a valid H1 never went onsite only because the manager did not release him, finally fed up, he loses all 3 years in india itself then the manager release him ? How Cruel ?
All these games will come to an end now with this BILL.
What MNC's did was ?
Took dog like working resources, with repetative work and send them onsite. get all the pay from client and pay you pennies 4900$.
Now resources who like to go, Go thru merit based Visas or Direct Client and get your pay and enjoy the work.
Dont go to USA and say i dont like USA but just because of the dollar value am staying here, i have heard this atleast from 90% of all employees in H1, that is one way stealing ??? You are blocking the opprtunity for the GOOD people who wanted to buy home, live the american life and worship the culture.
I know many of my sentences above are TRUE TRUE TRUE. and only the right readers will appreciate it, many of the ppl fall under this category.
Still dreaming of a onsite ?? for 7 yrs 8 yrs 9 yrs.
No More dreaming this is the time to make the step.
If there is TOEFL/IELTS, it would be even better, beating down all the stupids who do not know english or butler english can stay back and almost 50% of population will stay back.
People with Good English Skill, Smart Tech Skills, Aspiring to USA for the life style, if they only travel onsite it would be awesome,….
Hey Ram!, r u in USA? if not please don't come, local people will make fun of India because of your english..!
Pavan and saurabh, this statement is wrong I believe- "H1 visa holder placement at client site is banned as per new rules". I think the immigration bill suggests that of all the employees based out of the US only 15% can be on H1B. All others need to be Green card holders or US citizens. So still 15% of the US employees (i.e H1B folks) will continue to work at client sites as they do now. Dont think that H1B working at client side is totally banned. That restriction was for L1B and already L1 rejection is at an all time high this year. Obama seems to be focussed on getting the immigration bill passed in 2014. Cant say for sure though.
Thanks for your time . I have one consultant offering me H1 placing at client site . I f this new immigration bill becomes law, I suppose I will not get visa stamped because H1 visa holder placement at client site is banned as per new rules. Please tell me if this will be implemented from Oct 1 2014 .
The immigration bill is not the most important issue in front of US Congress at this moment. So don't know when it will be passed but definitely not this year. Even then, we don't know what the final version will be as the House can tweak the version passed by the Senate.
I just don't get how Indians can be so nationalistic about their country when you look at the hordes of Indians on this website who are looking for a way out of their own country. Either stop being so nationalistic and accept what India really is, or hold your nationalistic views and remain in your country.
Have you ever thought how many of the US companies are doing business in India?
Do you know all the MF investments in India finally made their way back to US as most of the players are from US.
Being nationalistic is one part but what prevents any nationalistic to travel for employment.
And let us accept US is the country built by the immigrants. Started with the Europeans, then the Africans, then the Far east population.
I do not agree that some body is pushing Americans to become smart. Americans have been and are always smart but unfortunately they are not being recognized under this corporate wall street driven greedy management looking for short-term business profits at the expense of American's jobs. Also what is really happening is the offshore consultants are being brought onshore to copy the work of US citizens at work and doing continuous KT to other offshore teams so that the companies don't have to hire US citizens again and can simply switch between the offshore consultants when their visa expires. This used to happen in Technical development area before and now it has spread to business functional consulting as well. Any US citizen can experience this when they work as a contractor or FT role for any Indian IT firms such as HCL, Wipro, Cognizant etc. There is literally video recording of business sessions, KT sessions during day time by the offshore consultant being onshore and knowledge transfer to offshore team during the night. Unfortunately the pitiful thing is that the higher management folks in these companies who are US citizens are encouraging this for their own selfishness and to earn big bonuses. The only way this kind of practices in addition to abuse of temporary immigrant visas can stop is when the US citizens write to their senators and congressmen to describe this kind of employment practices so that this will be stopped some day and Americans jobs are protected and they are respected the way they should be. I sincerly urge this.
A majority of Indians don't come here just for employment. Employment is what brought them here, but once they are on L1B's or H1B's they are always eager to get their green cards with the eventual goal of becoming US citizens. It is because of this immigrant intent that Indians pay consultants to file for new H1B's or transfer their H1B's from Infosys, TCS etc (who don't file for green cards). These people then become walking contradictions when they express their nationalistic view about India and how it is the best country in the world and how they wish they could go back to visit. Those idiots need to realize that you can't have your cake and eat it too.

DIAMOND DIRT: Prince Fielder's best fit is D.C. - If you ask me, the best bet for Prince Fielder is the Washington Nationals.

Adébayo Bolaji on his 'Bitter Nostalgia' exhibition in London
We meet the British-Nigerian artist to talk about the motivations and inspirations behind his striking painting practice
Wednesday 11 January 2023 By Soho House
London-based artist Adébayo Bolaji is a man who has already lived multiple lives. Graduating with a law degree from London Guildhall University, he shifted his sights to acting and directing, training at the Central School of Speech and Drama, before setting up his own theatre company named Ex Nihilo shortly after. Now, at 39, Bolaji is an acclaimed painter whose work has been exhibited internationally with artist residencies in New York and Margate in the UK, including one with Yinka Shonibare MBE Guest Projects.
With his latest exhibition, Bitter Nostalgia, currently showing at London's Saatchi Gallery, we caught up with Bolaji to talk about his storied journey to becoming a multi-disciplinary artist.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
'I was born in west London to Nigerian parents. I'm an artist working mainly with paint, but other mediums too.'
'I have an exhibition called Bitter Nostalgic at the Saatchi Gallery at the moment, showing works alongside Hyangmok Baik. I'm also building my first public art piece – a sculpture for Acton Gardens.'
Did you always want to be an artist?
'As a child, I was restless, but whenever I was in a creative space – whether it was a theatre or an art lesson – I'd settle and focus. So, I've always known instinctively, but that desire became clearer in the last 10 years.'
How did you develop your skills?
'I think they've really developed through the difficulties I've faced. You can, of course, learn techniques with classes or via a teacher or mentor, but skills become defined when life challenges happen. Those are the times when we find out if what we have learnt actually works. They are not tricks, they're purposeful tools to realise something.'
Where do you get your inspiration from?
'I deliberately look for or create an environment that encourages inspiration for a specific context. I say that because inspiration arguably happens all the time. It's like conscious bias – when you're obsessed with something your mind begins to look for it.'
How do you keep motivated?
'When I have a vision. If there's no clarity, there's confusion, which can create a feeling of being overwhelmed or anxious, and leave me feeling debilitated. If I'm calm and I welcome and give space to clarity and ideas, I then invite ways to execute those ideas and ultimately have something pulling all of this forward.'
In your Instagram bio, you write 'there was never a plan b'. Could you tell us what plan A was?
'There was a point in my life that I gave up on my plan A. I was basically living out someone else's idea of me. Later on, I experienced some misfortunes that would then bring me into a space that I always wanted to be in – an artist expressing his own ideas. This was my plan A.
'One way to think of that statement is that we have fixed ideas of how our dreams will play out, not realising the dots that will join to eventually bring those dreams to life. So, the plan B that I thought my life was going to be actually became the ingredients that formed plan A.'
What do you like to listen to when you work?
'I jump between genres, as I'm dealing with mood and my emotions a lot. Sound is huge for me. I sometimes listen to one track over and over again or one artist because of the tone in their voice, and then I'll jump to another artist or genre because of the tempo. When it comes to music, I'm looking for how it makes me feel, what world those sounds create in me, so I can then use it as a resource, as fuel.'
Tell us more about your current exhibition, Bitter Nostalgia.
'The show is a visual dialogue and response to the idea of nostalgia. In my work I try to answer: why do we experience it? And what purpose does or can it serve? The exhibition is interestingly and purposefully called Bitter Nostalgia to play on ideas about spectrums, directions and belief systems.'
How has community played a part in your career?
'It's played a massive part – I'm standing here today because of it. I think art can potentially make one very insular – introverted and inward, as it's such a delicate process. That said, I don't create out of nothing. And once creation is done, it's not really done. The meaning of the work is then enhanced by its connection to others.
'Also, I've been able to continue my craft because there have been communities throughout the years that have supported what I do. Without them, I simply wouldn't be here.'
Why did you join Soho House?
'You mentioned community – I think everyone needs community. You want to find a space that has like-minded people, as well as those who can show you something new. This is how we grow. Because of how Soho House is set up, it's culturally diverse, creatively open, and there is always something happening. It's encouraged me to keep evolving. Also, consistency is key. It's a space that stands for something. This makes it a reliable place to spend my time, because I know and trust what kind of service I will get.'
Where in the Houses would we most likely find you?
'I'm there every week having a glass of my favourite red wine, taking part in conversation or maybe looking through the design racks on the ground floor at 180 House.'
Adébayo Bolaji's current two-person exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, Bitter Nostalgia, alongside Hyangmok Baik, is on now until 26 January 2023.

A: It is a server issue. The MySQL server seems to be down on the related host.

Figlio del poeta e giornalista Richard Henry Dana Senior, dopo aver abbandonato nel 1834 gli studi a Harvard (anche per problemi alla vista), a 19 anni si decise ad andare per mare, imbarcandosi a Boston come marinaio semplice.

Scrisse quindi il libro considerato un vero classico delle letteratura nautica Two Years Before the Mast. A Personal Narrative of Life at Sea (tr. Due anni a prora), cronaca di una navigazione durata due anni (1834-1836) intorno al continente americano all'epoca della corsa all'oro.

Durante il viaggio, da Boston fino in California (allora ancora parte del Messico), Richard doppiò Capo Horn. Uno dei primi esempi di narrativa di questo genere, servì da apripista ad una generazione di romanzieri del mare, a cominciare dall'Herman Melville di Moby Dick.

Per la prima volta senza eccessi di romanticismo e avventurismo, ma con descrizioni efficaci del lavoro giornaliero, dei rischi della navigazione e di rapporti con il comando, le vicende marinaresche acquistano una forma letteraria di stampo realistico e tuttavia ispirata, con il ritratto dei capricci umani e di quelli pericolosi del mare che fecero apprezzare il libro dal grande pubblico, tanto da decretarne nel 1840 l'enorme successo.

Twenty-Four Years After (tr. Ventiquattro anni dopo, 1869) riprende il viaggio principale verso la California come una sorta di ragionamento su quei tempi americani (in edizioni moderne lo scritto è spesso in appendice).

The Seaman's Friend (tr. L'amico del marinaio, 1841), il libro successivo, affrontò le caratteristiche e le tecniche della navigazione, comprese indicazioni di diritto internazionale. Infatti al suo ritorno Dana si laureò in legge, specializzandosi in diritto marittimo.

Divenne poi un attivo sostenitore dell'Abolizionismo negli Stati Uniti d'America, aiutando a fondare il partito contrario alla schiavitù Free Soil Party nel 1848 e prendendo la difesa legale dello schiavo in fuga Anthony Burns, nel processo di Boston del 1854.

Nel 1853 rappresentò William Green Morton, scopritore delle proprietà anestetiche dell'etere dietilico, nel suo tentativo non riuscito di brevettarne l'uso.

Nel 1859 Dana visitò anche Cuba, che in quel momento si dibatteva in Senato se inserire tra gli USA.

To Cuba and Back (tr. Cuba andata e ritorno, 1859) è il resoconto del viaggio, con descrizioni entusiaste della città di Avana, delle piantagioni di canna da zucchero, di combattimenti di tori, con descrizioni di chiese, ospedali, scuole e prigioni, e ragionamenti sull'influenza spagnola e sulla cultura specifica dell'isola.

Journal of a Voyage Round the World, 1859–1860 (tr. Diario di viaggio intorno al mondo), racconta i 14 mesi di circumnavigazione che portò Dana in California, Hawaii, Cina, Giappone, Malaysia, Ceylon, India, Egitto ed Europa. Con la consueta curiosità e attenzione descrittiva, il diario ritrae anche alcuni eventi storici, come la vita di frontiera dei cercatori d'oro californiani, i rapporti consolari con le isole Hawaii, la seconda guerra dell'oppio in Cina, lo sviluppo del mercato internazionale grazie al nascente telegrafo e alla maggiore velocità delle navi a vapore rispetto a quelle a vela.

Ricoprì anche qualche carica politica minore e sperava di intraprendere una carriera diplomatica che non gli fu concessa. Morì a Roma e fu sepolto nel cimitero acattolico di Roma.

Tra le sue opere anche un suo An autobiographical sketch, 1815-1842 (tr. Schizzo autobiografico) e il suo The journal (stampato nel 1968 a cura di Robert F. Lucid, presso la Belknap Press of Harvard University Press di Cambridge).

Lontano dall'arte narrativa e dall'immaginazione di Conrad, Stevenson o Melville, come pure dagli slanci di certe poesie di Marianne Moore e altri, le caratteristiche della sua opera furono l'essenzialità quasi giornalistica nel descrivere gli avvenimenti di bordo e la precisione tecnicamente ineccepibile dei particolari di navigazione.

Francis used to have his sprinters – some of the most explosive and powerful athletes in the world – perform what he called "tempo runs" on lower intensity training days. These tempo runs generally consisted of short sprints of 12-15 seconds at 75% or less of their maximum speed with about 1 minute or so of rest between sprints. Even though the short sprint events Francis coached were extremely explosive and anaerobic in nature, he believed these lower intensity aerobic intervals played a key role in building work capacity and improving speed.
Karate, especially Kyokushin and other full contact styles, has proven to be effective in the sport as it is one of the core foundations of kickboxing, and specializes in striking techniques.[107][108][109][110] Various styles of karate are practiced by some MMA fighters, notably Chuck Liddell, Bas Rutten, Lyoto Machida, Stephen Thompson, John Makdessi, Uriah Hall, Ryan Jimmo, Georges St-Pierre, Kyoji Horiguchi, and Louis Gaudinot. Liddell is known to have an extensive striking background in Kenpō with Fabio Martella[111] whereas Lyoto Machida practices Shotokan Ryu,[112] and St-Pierre practices Kyokushin.[113]
UFC Gym lives up to their motto "Train Different" by providing classes that combine strength training with cardiovascular conditioning. Instead of conventional cardio, you'll push sleds, flip tires, and slam sand bags in their Daily Ultimate Training class. Modeled on high-intensity interval training, these taxing bouts of work and short recovery periods strengthen your cardiovascular capacity and torch calories long after you leave the gym.
The history of modern MMA competition can be traced to mixed style contests throughout Europe, Japan, and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s.[19] In Japan, these contests were known as merikan, from the Japanese slang for "American [fighting]". Merikan contests were fought under a variety of rules, including points decision, best of three throws or knockdowns, and victory via knockout or submission.[20]
We did think the impeachment story would make a good episode. We were only worried that the story would come across like preaching to the choir. That's when (we) hit on the idea that the firm, in pursuing all the avenues toward impeachment, became more and more like the worst aspects of the president they wanted to throw out of office. That felt like a concept that could sustain a story.
There are two primary training methods in this phase: random flowing and sparring. In random flowing there is a level of cooperation, where practitioners are helping each other to learn with a level of give-and-take. Specific goals may be worked on. In sparring, practitioners are only indirectly helping each other to learn. The focus of sparring is on beating your opponent in live training.
Wrestling (including freestyle, Greco-Roman, and American folkstyle) gained tremendous respect due to its effectiveness in mixed martial arts competitions. It is widely studied by mixed martial artists and credited for conferring an emphasis on conditioning for explosive movement and stamina, both of which are critical in competitive mixed martial arts. It is known for excellent takedowns, particularly against the legs. Notable wrestlers in MMA include Khabib Nurmagomedov, Chael Sonnen, Randy Couture, Brock Lesnar, and Olympians Daniel Cormier, Dan Henderson, & gold medalist Henry Cejudo.
One of the most important aspects of mixed martial arts training is cardio-vascular training for stamina. As fighters bounce around the ring like boxers, engage in grappling and wrestle to the ground, the necessity for premier conditioning is obvious. Boxers go 12 rounds so cardio is more important than strength. When two fighters are engaged, or grappling each other for a dominant position the constant use of their muscles leads to extreme fatigue. As a result MMA fighters spend lots of time on cardio. Many of the same cardio exercises that are used for boxing are used by MMA fighters. This includes the basics like jogging and jumping rope, to biking, swimming and pretty much any other kind of fitness machine you would find in your local gym.
We fight for great public schools, for economic opportunity and security. We fight for healthcare so nobody is one illness away from bankruptcy and for a secure retirement. We fight for our democracy and for a society that is safe, welcoming and sane and that means fighting against hatred and bigotry in all forms. We fight for jobs, justice and freedom for all.
The high profile of modern MMA promotions such as UFC and Pride has fostered an accelerated development of the sport. The early 1990s saw a wide variety of traditional styles competing in the sport.[72] However, early competition saw varying levels of success among disparate styles. In the early 1990s, practitioners of grappling based styles such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu dominated competition in the United States. Practitioners of striking based arts such as boxing, kickboxing, and karate, who were unfamiliar with submission grappling, proved to be unprepared to deal with its submission techniques.[73][74][75][76][77] As competitions became more and more common, those with a base in striking arts became more competitive as they cross-trained in styles based around takedowns and submission holds.[77] Likewise, those from the varying grappling styles added striking techniques to their arsenal. This increase of cross-training resulted in fighters becoming increasingly multidimensional and well-rounded in their skill-sets.
Education is the greatest weapon against ignorance. By studying education and becoming an educator, you have the ability to arm the next generation of Americans with knowledge and to instill in them the critical capacities to fight racism themselves. You can help stop the spread of ignorance, and simultaneously, create new allies in the march of progress.
The new rules included the introduction of weight classes; as knowledge about submissions spread, differences in weight had become a significant factor. There are nine different weight classes in the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts. These nine weight classes include flyweight (up to 125 lb / 56.7 kg), bantamweight (up to 135 lb / 61.2 kg), featherweight (up to 145 lb / 65.8 kg), lightweight (up to 155 lb / 70.3 kg), welterweight (up to 170 lb / 77.1 kg), middleweight (up to 185 lb / 83.9 kg), light heavyweight (up to 205 lb / 93.0 kg), heavyweight (up to 265 lb / 120.2 kg), and super heavyweight with no upper weight limit.[53]
The FMMAP is recognized by the Portuguese government as a non-profit sports federation and oversees Amateur MMA competition and coaching nationally. Based in Vila do Conde, the Federação de Mixed Martial Arts de Portugal (FMMAP) was founded as a collaborative effort between six existing non-profit organizations in 2012, as Portugal's first dedicated MMA Federation. This is in line with government requirements for all sport federations in Portugal which stipulates that they consist of at least three associated, non-profit groups. The composite FMMAP organisations are all involved in the coaching and promotion of MMA with a shared goal for the amateur sport, but come from various martial arts that include Karate, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Pankration Athlima, Mixed Martial Arts, Jeet Kune Do, Freestyle martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling. Affiliated groups at launch were AAMU - Associação Artes Marciais, Associação de Artes Marciais e Desportos de Combate (Açores), Associação Areagon (Chaves City), Associação Mirandelense de Artes Orientais (Mirandela City), Associação Portuguesa de Ciências de Combate/JKD Unlimited Portugal (Lisbon City), KMD MMA system (Porto City), Barcelos Gym (Barcelos City). The FMMAP is affiliated to the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF).[247][248][249]
The best diet for losing weight is Weight Watchers, according to the experts who rated the diets below for U.S. News. Volumetrics came in second, and the Flexitarian Diet, Jenny Craig and the vegan diet were third on this overall weight loss ranking list, which takes into account short-term and long-term weight loss scores. Some other diets performed as well or better in our rankings for enabling fast weight loss, but long-term weight loss is more important for your health.
Freeze – never end up here… when you are so shocked that you don't know how to react…. imagine some 6'9″ 300 lbs muscled up bad dude yelling at your face in threatening manner or like standing few inches away from grizzly bear (assuming the bear is behind the zoo cage) but still… your brain will be filled with rush, fear, anxiety, freeze, etc… understand yourself… understand what you are fearful of, why and ways to conquer that.
Studying history, you can learn to identify patterns that define racist behaviors, and recognize these patterns in the present. You can see how racist rhetoric and actions have shifted over time, and how they continue to exist and affect us today. This insight will provide you with an understanding of how to better fight these patterns, and how to make racism a thing of the past, a subject of history.
And that's why MMA Specific Programming and Periodization is so important – because it allows you to train strategically AND synergistically, working the right attributes at the right time, avoiding these major MMA training screw-ups and resulting in consistent gains while completely eliminating excessive soreness, fatigue, overtraining and injury.
Just as the name implies, these intervals are designed to push your cardiovascular system to its limits and improve VO2 max – the maximum amount of oxygen your system is capable of delivering to your working muscles. These intervals are designed to strengthen the most important muscle in your body, your heart, and are as grueling as they are effective at doing so.

About DSquared2
Dean and Dan Caten, twin brothers from Willowdale in Toronto, started their path in fashion at the Parson's School of Design in New York City in 1984. Eight years later, the Canadian duo moved to Italy with their sights set on creating their brand.
DSquared2 was launched in 1995 and the designers presented their first men's collection under the label in 1995. In 2000–01, Madonna commissioned the brothers to design over 150 pieces for her Drowned World Tour 2001 and "Don't Tell Me" music video. The presentation marked the debut of DSquared2's runway show extravaganzas, which captured the attention of journalists and buyers from around the world.
DSquared2's philosophy is an edgy mix of Canadian iconography, refined Italian tailoring and playful sensuality. The collections are a seamless melding of contrasts: sporty and glamorous, laid back and extravagant, masculine and feminine, creating a distinctive concept of alternative luxury. Recently the DSquared2 collections have gained a sophisticated edge while maintaining the sexiness embedded in the brand's DNA.

What is the significance of Socrates' name and what does the logo mean?
The Park's founder, visionary sculptor Mark di Suvero, named the Park for the philosopher Socrates to honor the large Greek immigrant community in Astoria. There are no sculptural representations of Socrates the philosopher at the Park, and we do not provide information about Socrates on-site at the Park or on our website. The Park's logo is a graphic representation of a steel I-beam. di Suvero is well known for incorporating this industrial material – often used as architectural support – into his sculpture practice. The I-beam symbol is also similar to the Chinese character that translates to English as 'work,' 'project,' or 'labor,' – words that reflect the grassroots and hardscrabble ethos of the Park.
Please call 718-956-1819 or email info@socratessculpturepark.org and we will respond as soon as possible. Our office hours are Monday – Friday, 10AM – 6PM.

An extension of StompDecoder that buffers content remaining in the input ByteBuffer after the parent class has read all (complete) STOMP frames from it. The remaining content represents an incomplete STOMP frame. When called repeatedly with additional data, the decode method returns one or more messages or, if there is not enough data still, continues to buffer.
A single instance of this decoder can be invoked repeatedly to read all messages from a single stream (e.g. WebSocket session) as long as decoding does not fail. If there is an exception, StompDecoder instance should not be used any more as its internal state is not guaranteed to be consistent. It is expected that the underlying session is closed at that point.
Create a new BufferingStompDecoder wrapping the given StompDecoder.
Decodes one or more STOMP frames from the given ByteBuffer into a list of Messages.
Calculate the current buffer size.
Return the configured buffer size limit.
Get the expected content length of the currently buffered, incomplete STOMP frame.
If there was enough data to parse a "content-length" header, then the value is used to determine how much more data is needed before a new attempt to decode is made.
If there was not enough data to parse the "content-length", or if there is "content-length" header, every subsequent call to decode attempts to parse again with all available data. Therefore the presence of a "content-length" header helps to optimize the decoding of large messages.

Each year, the housing industry is showered by new trends in terms of design and styling. The year 2014 is no different with predictions coming from various experts and professionals. But how varied will this year be? It all depends in the trends that will surface one after another. Here are the top 5 home design trends to watch and follow this year.
Neutral base colors will be at the forefront of many home improvement endeavors. The ease of matching them with other colors, prints, and patterns make them fantastic options. For instance, sofa sets with neutral base colors will complement throw pillows with prints and patterns. Mixing and matching neutral colors with accents are also best options if you want to achieve varied styling looks in your room without spending too much.
Apart from the use of neutral colors in furniture, walls will be given touches of drama, class, and elegance. They will bear darker colors which will become perfect backgrounds for furniture and fixtures that have metallic accents or are metals themselves. The use of dark colors in walls will also pave way for making rooms appear warmer and more inviting. A lot of homeowners who frequently accept visitors are expected to go with this flow.
The lives of vintage displays never stop in a year or more. They are to stay for decades. What make them long-lasting design elements are the intriguing factors behind their existence. Whether they are cabinets, frames, and other vintage pieces, they will surely become great conversation starters among guests. The appeal of vintage art will also fuse with what other interior designers call as urban nostalgia. Figurative and abstract paintings will also become more popular wall displays.
Wood, metal, and fabric will become more prominent in layers. More of their appealing combinations will be seen in many parts of the house particularly the living room. The differences in their colors and textures will be great to play with. Considering the beauty and appeal of fabric designs and prints, they will become great accents to wood and metal furniture. When it comes to wood, the less expensive and knotty varieties will become competitors of the expensive fine-grained woods like white oak and walnut. Apart from their use in cabinets, they will also become prominent in floor and wall panels.
Comfortable living will rely more on smart home options. The past years have seen the rise of surveillance cameras and other home security systems. Several homes have also utilized thermostat systems and lighting systems with time sensors. Robotic cleaners with scheduling capabilities and traffic sensors will also become more feasible options to make home cleaning chores easier. Other home appliances will establish greater connections with the smart phones of their owners. More applications will give greater control over their use.
These are just five of the many home design trends that will grace the homes of many individuals. More are expected to diversify how homes will look this 2014. The choice is yours to make to impart more beauty to your own living space.

The bags will have a lot of the same themes as their dresses- silk rosettes, heavy beading, embroidery, and corset-like details. They will also incorporate elements of jewelry and every bag is topped off with a hand-cut rock crystal. Chapman has also collaborated with Steven Webster on a line of jewelry to launch this fall.
To get a similar look, focus on three things: lux materials (faux croc can totally pass), stone details, and tassles (for that '20s glam they love).
