Iowa football opinion polestar Marc Morehouse likes to say that certain guys have "union cards" that guarantee them a starting spot, generally due to intangible factors. Never was it more on display last season than linebacker, where the staff started singing the praises of a bunch of extremely unknown young guys in the spring and had installed them ahead of more highly-touted prospects by mid-season. Results were not good (to be fair, they were fairly terrible with the former guys, as well). A wave of offseason transfers included two linebackers who had apparently been frozen out.
And then, earlier this week, the ice broke, and we don't really know what to think. We're just running out of time for definitive information.
MLB: Josey Jewell (#43, Sophomore (RS), 6'2, 230 lbs., Decorah (Iowa) HS)
We didn't think much of Josey Jewell when he committed to Iowa. Jewell was a two-star afterthought and UNI commit, thrown an offer just three days before Signing Day when Iowa's other options went elsewhere. He was a project, a flyer, a potential contributor three or four years down the line but certainly not a top prospect. Iowa takes guys like that all the time. No big deal.
We didn't think much of Josey Jewell when all three starting linebackers were drafted following the 2013 season. Iowa had built-in starters for all three positions, including a junior-to-be at outside linebacker who had experience and fit the part. Sure, Phil Parker was telling anyone who would listen that Josey Jewell had a nose for the ball and would be used somewhere, but that was probably special teams and mop-up duty.
We didn't think much of Josey Jewell when he eventually won the weakside linebacker spot last season. He was Iowa's defensive MVP in the Taxslayer Bowl, a caustic award if there ever was one, and his prior performance (as a backup and in three games as starter at weakside linebacker in place of Reggie Spearman) showed no sign of improvement over the lackluster play of those preceding him. There was some talent there, to be sure, but there was also a naivete and lack of focus understandable, if not expected, from a freshman.
But now? We think quite a bit of Josey Jewell now that he's in the position he seems built to play. Middle linebacker in Iowa's defensive system is perfect for the ball-hounding short guy, so long as his defensive line can keep interior linemen off him. Jewell's coverage responsibilities will be limited, or at least more limited than they were on the outside, and the leadership qualities touted by the staff can shine through as they have for multiple-year starters at middle linebacker in the past. It won't be easy: It took James Morris two years to learn the position, and even Pat Angerer wasn't flawless until he'd been in the program for a few years. But it's a better fit, and a better chance for Jewell to do what the coaches all think he's capable of doing.
Skinny B
OLB: Ben Niemann (#44, Sophomore, 6'3, 225 lb., Sycamore (Ill.) HS)
At the same time Iowa's coaches were hyping Josey Jewell as the next big thing, they were also highlighting true freshman Ben Niemann. Frankly, we were even more skeptical. Not only had Niemann been a two-star recruit whose only FBS offer had come from Northern Illinois (where his dad is defensive coordinator), but the only three non-Iowa schools to offer Niemann had recruited him as a wide receiver. He was MAC-receiver fast, but he was also just 185 pounds as a high school senior. There was no way he was going to play linebacker anytime soon.
He didn't even redshirt. Instead, Niemann ended up on special teams for most of the season, blocking a punt and returning it for a touchdown against Northwestern and recording 13 tackles over the course of his first campaign. He filled out to 225 pounds, adding 40 to his frame in about 16 months. He impressed coaches so much that they offered his younger brother later in the year. And he put his name in ink at strongside linebacker.
Outside linebacker is an extremely difficult position for any player, and Niemann will certainly struggle at times. He will be tasked with shadowing tight ends and wide receivers, holding the strongside edge in the running game, and occasionally getting after the quarterback. And when Bo Bower didn't have the grasp of the position needed to overcome his size and speed last season, Iowa's defense struggled with him. But if Niemann's performance and his growth are any indication, he is the future of Iowa outside linebacker, probably the most important position on the defense. He has the frame of guys who have excelled at that position, the speed and agility needed to do everything involved, and the pedigree to understand the game and his position in it. We'll see if that's enough.
Bo Knows Fishing
WLB: Cole Fisher (#36, Senior (RS), 6'2, 235 lbs., Millard North HS (Omaha, Neb.)
WLB: Bo Bower (#41, Sophomore (RS), 6'1, 230 lbs., West Branch (Iowa) HS)
We were convinced that Bo Bower was the absolute, locked-in starter at weakside linebacker. He played significant minutes last season, he looked good during the open scrimmage two weeks ago, and he was another "good story" guy, a "union card" guy, who kept getting playing time despite visible and obvious struggles last season. Iowa had shuffled the positions on these guys, but Bower was going to get his continued opportunity.
And then, earlier this week, Iowa quietly announced that Cole Fisher was the starter at weakside linebacker, at least for the moment, and so we had to scrap the paragraph about how Fisher was destined for a career of special teams duty. We now have a surprising depth chart cage match that should play out through September.
We're still thinking Bower wins. Despite the fact that he's two years Fisher's junior, he already has more experience. Despite joining Iowa as a walk-on, he was good enough in practice to earn a scholarship before playing a game. He entrenched himself as a starter at outside linebacker in August ahead of presumptive starter Travis Perry, picked off a pair of passes, and recorded 5.5 tackles for loss and a sack. He's moving to a position that makes much more sense, where his deficiencies on the edge can be hidden. And if there's one thing we know he can do, it's tackle, which is just about the only thing that an Iowa weakside linebacker needs to do.
If there is going to be someone to usurp Bower, it would be Fisher. He's a three-time academic all-conference selection and special teams dynamo. He's a senior, which always carries more pull (especially in a linebacker corps lacking in senior leadership). He's a blank slate as an every-down player, which provides some tantalizing upside in a position where Iowa can't seem to find a starter. He's even got that Reese Morgan recruit stamp of approval.
In the end, what happens on the field should matter most, and the devil Kirk knows will probably beat out the devil he doesn't. But that's not at all certain, and an Iowa defense in desperate need of improvement at this position will need certainty soon.
While You Wait for the Others
Travis Perry (#39, Senior (RS), 6'3, 235 lbs., Urbandale (Iowa) HS)
Last year was supposed to be Perry's breakthrough season. He'd been studiously backing up Christian Kirksey for two years. But the Bo Bower Power Hour hit, and suddenly Perry had lost his presumptive starting spot before August camp had even ended. Perry got two starts at weakside linebacker as Iowa flailed for a tackler, but was injured late in the Minnesota game and didn't return until the bowl. Perry's a two-time special teams award winner, and will be the linchpin of an Iowa special teams unit pleading for some senior leadership. Anything beyond that is Ben Niemann struggles or injuries somewhere.
Aaron Mends (#31, Freshman (RS), 6'0, 210 lbs., Winnetonka HS (Kansas City, Mo.))
Mends was moved to fullback last year, but returned to linebacker this spring and was thought to be Bower's backup at weakside linebacker. Fisher's move to the weakside and ascendance to the top of the depth chart makes playing time for Mends all the more difficult to find. He's still about 20 pounds light to play linebacker, as it is, and we'd expect him to make his move next season.
Angelo Garbutt (#22, Freshman, 6'2, 210 lbs., Hebron HS (Carrollton, Tex.))
Garbutt's story is a bit weird: He was originally an Oregon State commit when now-Nebraska coach Mike Riley was there. When Riley went to Nebraska, he offered Garbutt, and everyone assumed that he would move to Lincoln. And then he went for a recruiting visit, and before you knew what had happened, Garbutt had committed to Iowa and Nebraska's coaches were telling anyone who would listen how he had abruptly left.
This weekend, I got an email -- I kid you not -- from Garbutt's mom, Toshika Robinson, saying that they did not leave Lincoln early, and that there was no incident with Nebraska. All of this, she said, was just due to the fact that Riley's staff "misrepresented and misreported information about that weekend." So it's good to see that Mikey Smiles is getting along well with others already. It's like Bo Pelini is still there.
Anyway, Garbutt probably redshirts or gets some time on special teams. I just wanted to get that out there for Ms. Robinson. Hope that fixes things, ma'am.
Justin Jinning (#21, Freshman, 6'2, 210 lbs., The Colony (Tex.) HS)
LeVar Woods went a bit crazy on Texas linebacker recruits this year. Jinning doesn't have the pedigree or offer sheet of Garbutt, which means he'll probably be starting next year. For now, with the depth chart a crowded mess of underclassmen, it's special teams duty at best.
Jack Hockaday (#48, Freshman, 6'1, 215 lbs., Maroa-Forsyth HS (Forsyth, Ill.))
Between Niemann and Hockaday, Iowa is going into the Illinois small-school deep cuts in a way that was previously reserved for Iowa and eastern Nebraska. If your basic belief is that competition in the usual suburban private school recruits is too steep, that could make some sense in a Moneyball-ish way. It's working in Nebraska and Iowa, so why the hell not?

A Breath of Desert Air: Sandstorm at Depo
ArtDog Istanbul, 13 November 2020
Co-authored by Matt Hanson & Rana Kelleci
"There are always millions of tons of dust in the air, just as there are millions of cubes of air in the earth and more living flesh in the soil (worms, beetles, underground creatures) than there is grazing and existing on it." Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient
How can an urbanite make sense of a sandstorm? While the closest we get to a sandstorm in İstanbul's city center is the dust of ever-growing construction sites, the common phenomenon of Middle Eastern sandstorms at best evokes indistinct images. The theme of the Istanbul Design Biennial — empathy — leaks into my thoughts. How can we empathize with something we never experienced? How can we draw connections and why does it matter?
There are many kinds of storms that whip through the deserts of the world. In the Middle East, their diversity, lure and power is mythical, epic, puncturing the veils of popular culture, as in the novel and film, "The English Patient". The enigmatic Hungarian protagonist spoke, seducingly, "Let me tell you about winds", before Arabic colloquialisms fell from his lips in the Cairene night.
Voiceovers reciting a poem in an unknown language, Sumerian and Akkadian, speak in their obscurity of the distance between us and the land, its ways of existence, its history, its peoples. "Planting Gilgamesh" (2020), Ayat Najafi's multimedia installation, occupies a corner on the second floor of Depo's latest exhibition Sandstorm — And Then There Was Dust. The spell of such poetic, ecological phenomena comes with a rare gust of presence by Iraqi, Iranian and Turkish artists, and with the urgency of environmental justice.
"Sandstorm — And Then There Was Dust", and this particular curation at Depo also offers a refreshing demographic representation for contemporary arts and culture in Turkey, which typically exhibits creative, socially engaged work by the citizenry's majority to reflect mainstream, national concerns aligned to more Westward trends.
The exhibition, albeit the mythical evocations of its title, opens with a piece that explicitly states the raison d'etre of this exhibition that is the environmental urgencies of the region. The piece Habitat Loss (2020) by the Istanbul-based climate artivist collective Birbuçuk brings together the voices of researchers Akgün İlhan, Adnan Mirhanoğlu and Sinan Erensu.
Voices are conveyed through two headphones, alongside with a poster noting the keywords and the waveforms of the sound clips. I sat down and started to listen to one, a dual talk. In my right ear, a woman was mentioning the dams built in the southeastern region of Turkey, which left several settlements under floods. Meanwhile, in my left ear, a man, in a slightly lower voice was talking about wells and droughts. The other pair of headphones held a broader view on the issue of ecological destruction, drawing links to neo-liberalism and protests against government-backed projects.
The show's curator, Berlin-based art historian Sarah Maske opened the exhibition with a large-format piece, rightfully titled, "Sand In A Whirlwind" (2015), an archival pigment print by the Urfa-born photographer Sinem Dişli. The tornado of a blistering funnel halving the image blasts from the heavens to the vulnerable earth, which by comparison is wretched, bleak and exposed against the descending force of nature.
I was reminded of the curious tendency of natural disaster to coincide with human affairs, such as when, a decade ago, I, a student in Cairo, witnessed the immense horror, the unimaginable scale of the Sahara Desert's sands taking flight in a burst of gales, looming over Tahrir Square just before bread riots encircled the storied square.
And rounding the bend of Depo's interior, the ground floor of the old stuffy tobacco warehouse opened to reveal a complicated panoply of installations integrating sculpture, video, photography, virtual reality, and texts printed onto flowing, hanging fabrics. I gravitated to the video interview that Maske produced with environmental toxicologist Mozhgan Savabieasfahani, an eloquent Iranian-American woman.
"We have technology to clean up these areas of highly polluted soil. If it is not contained it has the possibility to go everywhere, into water, into soil, into air, into vegetation, into your food," said Savabieasfahani. "The dust that's created Iraq includes a lot of pollutants that can easily get out across Iran."
Mostly caused by military waste left by the U.S. Army in Iraq, war's material toxicity, as spread by increasingly volatile sandstorms, has regional impacts. In this light, the shared histories between Turkey and its eastern frontiers is of immediate environmental concern.
Right next to the interview a corner gift shop was erected, caps, mugs and hanging t-shirts read; Uranium Generation Design. Black walls, shelves and frosted showcases display a somewhat wide array of merchandise including uncanny creatures which at first can be mistaken for cute stuffed mascots. Mahmoud Obaidi's spatial installation Uranium Generation Design (2020) exhibits dolls and animals that are mutated and wrecked, constituting explicit symbols for the effects of mining on the regional habitat.
Not only with the extraction of subterranean resources that the habitat suffers but also with the introduction of capitalist entertainment concepts, often with aims of repurposing no longer profitable facilities into a profitable venture. It reminded me of what I witnessed on a trip to South Africa's Johannesburg gold mines, once a lucrative source of wealth for the colonizing empires, yet since transformed into a mock-village exhibiting the lives of the settlers and miners. There is no need to mention its gift shop.
In a way, one can sense a similar disconnect in the exhibition space.Between the dazzling VR-installation, "Al-Mashroof" (2020) by Tehran Platform on the ground floor, and the ethereally abstract video, "Rotor" (2020) by Kerem Ozan Bayraktar located on an isolated room at the upper floor, the drier, informational maps of disappearing Mesoptomian marshlands by Tehran Platform, Mahmoud Obaidi's turtles installation, sound excerpts from environmental seminars, or even Dişli's compelling "Fields on Fire, Urfa (North Mesopotamia) photo collage are at a loss for integrated design. To engage with such pedagogies of studied reflection and aesthetic admiration demands the meticulous attention of the visitor. It is comparable to confronting the opaque and impalpable convolution of a sandstorm, only one cerebral and disjointed.
If "Sandstorm — And Then There Was Dust" is a manifestation of approaches by which to visualize, comprehend and empathize with the victims of these noxious sandstorms, it is rife with failure and success. Maske departed from the phenomena of sandstorms to draw out unifying motifs between Turkey, Iraq and Iran to explore concepts related to ecology, discipline in the natural sciences that stresses symbiotic interactions between organisms. As a brief investigation of humankind's disastrous relationship with its land, waters and air, the exhibition proposes alternative forms of interaction.
Negar Farajiani's, "Tehran Monoxide Project" is one viable alternative, realized as the result of many independent projects with artists and citizens from Tehran since 2011. The exhibition hosts extensive documentation of some projects which, in curator Sarah Maske's words, "examined the changing ecologies of Iran and the communication of these within the Iranian school system". These documents include the photos that children in Tehran schools, taken in response to the question, "What pollutes our city's air?", including project posters, a video and albums of photographs.
Select photos from the workshops are compiled in albums and presented on desks with a comfortable seat and a desk lamp, proposing an environment of hospitable interaction with socially engaged artistic practices as well as with the overall idea of the exhibition as a kind of ecology in and of itself, however theoretical and removed from the soil and dust of sandstorms.

Q: Issue related to APN names I am using simcom900 modem,I am successfully able to establish GPRS connection and send data from my module to server.I am using 2g Airtel SIM and I have given APN name as "airtelgprs.com".I have also tried by giving different APN names which are not related to airtel network then also I could establish connection and transfer data to server.
Please let me know how is this possible?

A: With the SIM unlocked, try entering
AT+CGDCONT?
Now you should see all the stored contexts, something like this:
+CGDCONT: 1,"IP","airtelgprs.com","0.0.0.0″,0,0
+CGDCONT: 2,"IP","other apn","0.0.0.0″,0,0
+CGDCONT: 3,"IP","other apn2","0.0.0.0″,0,0
Now try to activate each context in turn
AT+CGACT=1,1  (first parameter activates the context, 2nd parameter defines which context is activated)
You should get "OK" if the activation was successful.
Now deactivate context number 1 with
AT+CGACT=0,1
OK
Now, try to activate one of the wrong apns:
AT+CGACT=1,2
You should get something like:
+CME ERROR: no network service
(switch on error reporting with AT+CME)
Now delete the stored contexts with the correct APN, by setting them to empty:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"","","",0
OK
Check that they are gone:
AT+CGDCONT?
(get only contexts with wrong APNs)
Now try your AT command again, with a wrong APN:
AT+CSTT="some wrong apn" etc.
You should hopefully see that it doesn't connect.  If it doesn't connect, maybe AT+CSTT always connects on the saved context number 1, even if you give it a different APN.  It should be easy to test that theory by playing with AT+CGDCONT and the stored contexts.
AT+CGDCONT and AT+CGACT are standard AT commands, you can find the full reference in 3GPP TS 27.007.

A: Most of the operators are using special features (usually called APN Redirection) on their networks to fix wrong APN names to some default APN name. E.g. when you are trying to establish PDP using APN name "iternet" it will be automatically redirected to APN name "internet". So, it seems that you have faced with that behaviour.

A: APN redirection is active for your provider where your APN will be corrected automatically to some default APN or selecting the one you have subscribed based on your subscription profile in HLR.

A: You face this issue, or rather lack of an issue, most probably, because Airtel doesn't check for APN at all while connecting via GPRS.
I have tested this with different SIM cards, and different SIM plans.
Operators that strongly check for APN-
1. Idea
2. MTNL
3. Vodafone
 Note: All the operator info mentioned here is stricly for the region on India. I don't have experience of other regions.

years ago i had looked up to see what my egyptian asrtrology sign was... Osiris.. but it had also said that on my birthday March 4th it was considered an unlucky day by the ancient egyptians.. i have always wondered why March 4th?
Actually there wasn't astrology like we have today (that came from the Greeks). No one was born under a Netjer, so you really weren't really born under the name of Wesir. The reason that idea came to be is the New Age movement and has no historic basis. The Dendra zodiac that people use was created by Cleopatra VII during the Greca-Roman period.
The Cairo Calendar the is the list of good and bad days would be the one used by the ancients. Also remember the calendar of Ancient Egypt wasn't based on the Julien calendar that we use. And if you follow the calendar you will notice that the good and bad days may change due when Wep Ronpet happens. Not sure there's a reason why that date is a bad day, but as I said that may change year to year.
Sorry about the brain dump.

Silver Bluff is a mining town with a twist – sprung up as little more than a better camp, it began in a promising manner…but then, the mine's silver started to run out. Let's just say that the local population did not take kindly to these changes and the ramshackle ethnic composition alongside the lack of a governing body mean that this is very much a dangerous place to be.
The vast chasm that separates the camp from the mine is also one of the reasons why this village is haunted by howling windstorms, which also influence the dressing habits of the place. The pdf does feature notes on nomenclature, appearance of locals and 6 rumors for your convenience. The village also features notes on the local tavern, paranoid representatives …this is not the nicest place to spend your time, though e.g. mountain climbing equipment and a local dwarven cleric can help adventurers here.
The pdf also features no less than 6 sample events…and one glorious hazard, which would be the semi-sentient, disintegrated machine that slowly regains its sentience and becomes a lethal, unique hazard – stopping it will be hard…and I wished it and hazards like it had been more prevalent here. Big kudos for the 5e-conversion here, which retains the deadliness of the cloud and properly recalibrates it for 5e's rules.
In an example of less is more, the notes of what's hidden in the chasm feel a bit less intriguing and tied to the settlement – by emphasizing the wind theme instead, it would have become even more compelling…but that may just be me.
Mike Welham's Silver Bluff is an evocative village with unique hazards and a nice theme. While it does not reach the apex of the series, the village still remains an excellent purchase and is well worth the low asking price. The 5e-version retains all the aspects that made the PFRPG-version work really well. My final verdict will clock in at 5 stars.

Home Manhattan Transfer Op-Ed: Don't Fear a President Sanders, Europe!
Op-Ed: Don't Fear a President Sanders, Europe!
Edward Knudsen , March 4, 2020
Should Europeans feel, or fear, the Bern? Although the Vermont Senator wouldn't return to business as usual between the US and EU, Europeans have little to fear from a Sanders presidency.
© REUTERS/Caitlin Ochs
Frustrated by three years of US President Donald Trump's chaotic presidency, many European leaders have openly wished for a Democrat to defeat him in this November's general election. Their opinions of Senator Bernie Sanders, though, might be different. Sanders, who emerged as the main rival to Democratic front-runner Joe Biden after this week's Super Tuesday results, seems unsettling to many EU foreign policy-makers. One senior diplomat told the Washington Post that Europeans are "all praying for Biden." Others remarked that they would see a Sanders victory as further evidence of an isolationist turn in the United States. The Economist went so far as to describe a potential Trump-Sanders match-up as "appalling choice with no good outcome."
Such fears are misguided, however. Although Sanders may not speak the language of the Cold War American foreign policy consensus, he does not represent as stark of a break with it as his critics fear (and many of his supporters hope for). In many areas—such as climate policy and reducing tensions with China—the Vermont Senator may actually hew closer to European views than Biden does. The "old continent" has little reason to fear, and should even hope for, a Sanders victory.
The US commitment to NATO
One of the main anxieties that European leaders express about a Sanders presidency is his commitment to mutual defense. They often focus on his past opposition to NATO's expansion in Eastern Europe, which he argued would provoke Russian aggression. They allege that this is proof of 'isolationism' and an anti-Western outlook. Leftists like Sanders, however, were hardly alone in this opinion. George Kennan, an arch-realist and the architect of America's Cold War containment policy, felt the same way. In 1990, he argued that NATO expansion would prove to be a "fateful error" which would "inflame the nationalistic, anti-Western and militaristic tendencies in Russian opinion" and could prompt a resurgence of East-West animosities. This not a niche viewpoint; a group of dozens of senior American diplomats shared this view at the time.
Although he opposed the expansion initially, Sanders has not expressed any desire to renege on the US' existing commitments. In a recent interview with 60 Minutes, he said he would be willing to use military force to defend American allies and that he "believes in NATO." Furthermore, even if Sanders wished to limit the US commitment to NATO, he would almost certainly be constrained by Congress, which is strongly supportive of NATO.
In one sense, European NATO members might even find a Sanders presidency a relief. California Congressman Ro Khanna, who often speaks for Sanders on foreign policy, has said that as president, "Sanders is not going to push countries to be increasing their defense spending." It is unlikely that Joe Biden would exercise similar restraint.
Sanders' long-standing opposition to free trade agreements (FTAs) is also held up as an area of concern for European policymakers. While he is skeptical of the relative lack of labor and environmental standards in current FTAs, Sanders hardly has an autarkic vision for the United States. His policy platform states that "trade is a good thing, but it has to be fair." He emphasizes stronger protections for workers, the environment, and human rights—all issues the European Commission prizes in negotiations. Far from signaling an end to transatlantic trade, a Sanders-appointed US Trade Representative would likely share more views with his or her EU counterpart than a Biden-appointed USTR would.
Sanders approach to the US' geopolitical rivals sets him apart from more mainstream Democrats in a way that is uniquely beneficial to Europe. As the EU works to find middle ground between the US and its 'great power' rivals, Russia and China, a less confrontational US president may be exactly what it needs. Whereas the Trump Administration insists that the EU reduce ties with China, a future President Sanders is more likely to defuse tensions with America's rival superpower. This could spare Europeans the painful decision between their security guarantor and one of their largest trading partners. Significantly, Sanders has also been one of the Democratic candidates who said he would re-join the 2015 Iran nuclear deal with no preconditions. This would reduce transatlantic tensions and lessen the chance of conflict with Iran, both of which would be a relief to Europe.
A Rejuvenated Multilateralism
Far from being an "isolationist", Sanders would seek increased engagement on many issues that are of substantial importance to Europeans. He has the most ambitious climate plan of any candidate, which would allow for critical US-EU cooperation to combat carbon emissions. He also supports strengthening international institutions, which is also a key tenet of European foreign policy.
Where Sanders would continue a rupture with the pre-Trump business as usual—such as limiting the US' military footprint and curtailing support for FTAs—Europe must realize that the status quo ante was unstable and unlikely to persist. With crumbling infrastructure and declining life expectancy, it is improbable that the US can maintain a global military footprint in its current form for much longer. Because Washington views China as its chief rival, it will likely shift the US' finite resources away from Europe toward East Asia, regardless of who occupies the White House. Similarly, a country that has experienced hundreds of thousands of lost jobs from free trade agreements should not be expected to support unfettered global markets indefinitely.
Should Europeans still harbor any doubts about whether Sanders may be disinclined to use American resources to solve global problems, they can take solace in the Senator's own words. When asked to name the best foreign policy decisions that the US has ever made, he listed the United States' post-WW II Marshall Plan aid to Western Europe and the establishment of the United Nations. As two of the most significant internationalist and pro-European actions the US has ever taken, leaders across the Atlantic can rest assured that a President Sanders would serve their interests well.

Interaction of amylin species with transition metals and membranes
Mawadda Alghrably, Iwona Czaban, Lukasz Jaremko, Mariusz Jaremko
Biological, Environmental Science and Engineering
Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP), also known as amylin, is a 37-amino-acid peptide hormone that is secreted by pancreatic islet β-cells. Amylin is complementary to insulin in regulating and maintaining blood glucose levels in the human body. The misfolding and aggregation of amylin is primarily associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is classified as an amyloid disease. Recently, the interactions between amylin and specific metal ions, e.g., copper(II), zinc(II), and iron(II), were found to impact its performance and aggregation processes. Therefore, the focus in this review will be on how the chemistry and structural properties of amylin are affected by these interactions. In addition, the impact of amylin and other amyloidogenic peptides interacting with metal ions on the cell membranes is discussed. In particular, recent studies on the interactions of amylin with copper, zinc, iron, nickel, gold, ruthenium, and vanadium are discussed.

To prepare the rice, use 1.5 cups of rice to 4 cups of water.
Bring water to a boil, add thyme, oil, and coriander. Put the heat on low and cook until all the water is gone. About 10-15 min. If a bit f water left, turn of the heat, close the lid tightly and let the water absorb.
To prepare the meatballs, in a blender mix all the vegetables, spices and eggs, besides the meat.
Place meat in a large glass bowl, add the mixture from the blender. Mix until even consistency.
Preheat an oven to 300 F. Line a cooking sheet with foil. Make 20 round meatballs, line them up, pore 1 cup of low-sodium chicken stock.
Cook for 90 min. Cooking meatballs on low heat and with stock prevents them from being dry.
Server over rice with steamed asparagus.
My first part of the competition prep was extended for 4 weeks instead 3, I was sick so needed the x-tra time to see results. With a new part of the training coming up, below is my plan for the next 4 weeks. I will be introducing a HIT session and increasing food intake by 200 calories. Also increasing workouts sessions per week and decreasing reps while increasing sets and weight.
Stretch and enjoy a post workout snack.
In a bowl combine white balsamic vinegar, garlic and onion powder, red pepper flakes, basil cilantro, and olive oil then place two Salmon stakes and coat them evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a fridge until the sweet potatoes and zucchini are almost done.
Lay foil on a cookie sheet, and place layers of sweet potatoes evenly spreading over the entire area of the lined cookie sheet (the thinner the layer the crisper they will get). Season with garlic and onion powder, red pepper flakes, basil cilantro, and sprinkle a bit of virgin olive oil.
Preheat the oven to 200 C or 390F.
Lay foil on a cookie sheet, and place layers of chopped zucchini evenly spreading over the entire area of the lined cookie sheet (the layers should be even so they cook at the same time). Season with garlic and onion powder, red pepper flakes, basil cilantro, and sprinkle a bit of virgin olive oil.
Bake for about 20 min or until desired sweet potato crispiness level is achieved. I have to racks in the oven so I placed sweet potatoes on the higher level to cook them and then on the lower rack to get them crispier.
. Set it to 375 F. Take the salmon stakesout of the fridge and place then on the griddle. Cook for 6 min or less depending on the stake size and thickness.
When ready serve Salmon Stakes with Roasted Sweet Potatoes Fries and Zucchini Circles and decorate with chives.
Here is new routine to build your shoulders and back. Have fun and always give yourself a pat on the back one done. Enjoy the process and celebrate even the smallest wins. Have fun.

All tagged FATF
May 2 Europe Tries to Sidestep the U.S. Finance System
Lionel Laurent
◢ The standoff between the Trump administration and Iran is escalating, and Europe is caught in the middle. Brussels and national governments in the U.K., France and Germany, meanwhile, have been criticized by Iran for their response to U.S. sanctions. Europeans "speak eloquently", Iran's foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in February. "They also need to walk the walk." But it would be wrong to dismiss Europe's efforts as hopeless.
Apr 18 Iranian Bankers Fear IRGC Terrorism Designation Dooms Vital Financial Reforms
Maziar Motamedi
◢ Reform-minded Iranians, especially those inside the ailing banking system, are worried that the US government's step to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization has doomed a years-long effort to get the Islamic Republic off a consequential global blacklist.
Oct 11 Bankless Task: Can Europe Stay Connected to Iran?
Ellie Geranmayeh and Esfandyar Batmanghelidj
◢ With US sanctions on Iran's banking sector due to come into effect soon, European countries are now considering measures that would facilitate trade transactions with Iran through a new legal and institutional structure. European governments have been reviewing this legal entity, known as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), for months. The timing of this public announcement suggests that they have a degree of confidence that the SPV can become operational, and that Europe can use the model to showcase its ability to deliver on its commitments.
Oct 8 Unintimidated, Iranian Lawmakers Pass Counter-Terror Financing Bill
◢ Over the last six months, the public debate in Iran around FATF-related reforms has reached a surreal crescendo. Seldom do countries experience such intensive political debates over measures as technical and obtuse as financial regulations. But 143 lawmakers voted bravely to pass the final of four bills required by the FATF action plan, in a landmark vote that may increases chances that Iran maintains ties with international financial institutions in the face of returning sanctions.
Jun 29 Europeans Beat Back Americans as FATF Gives Iran More Time on Financial Reforms
◢ At its plenary meeting in Paris, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) opted "to continue the suspension of countermeasures" related to Iran's inclusion in the so-called "blacklist" of countries with deficiencies in anti-money laundering (AML) and combating financing of terrorism (CFT) standards. The suspension will be in place until October 2018. The suspension can be seen as a victory for European and Iranian multilateral cooperation in the face of the increasingly hostile American posture.
Jun 22 FATF Faces Test of Fairness on Iran at Plenary Meeting
Fatemeh Mahjourian
◢ Iran is facing the end of a four month extension given by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for the reform of the country's AML/CFT regulations. Iran will be hoping for a further extension of the suspension of countermeasures at the June plenary of the FATF. Some FATF members have sought to characterize such extensions as exceptional. However, extensions are a common procedure, and FATF ought to treat Iran's case in fair recognition of this fact.
Jun 21 High Stakes for Iran in Upcoming FATF Meeting
Matthew Spivack
◢ A few days ahead of an international meeting in which Iran's efforts to improve anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) standards will be reviewed, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appeared to pour cold water on the reform process. Yet, it is premature to assume that Iran's consultations with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) are suddenly over after two years of close coordination. As the FATF's plenary meeting approaches, the stakes are high for Iran, which is seeking another extension for implementation of its action plan.
Apr 30 Iran's Currency Crisis Spurs Action in Financial Reform Efforts
Navid Kalhor
◢ Forced to respond by Iran's recent currency crisis, the Central Bank of Iran is approaching regulatory reform in the financial sector with new energy. A critical deadline to meet standards set by the Financial Action Task Force is forthcoming in June. Iran needs to demonstrate progress in tackling financial crime estimated to include at least USD 27 billion in transactions annually.
Jan 30 A Swedish Training Program May Hold the Answer to Iran's Banking Challenges
◢ Iran's inability to link with the European banking system stems in part from a lack of capacity in key governance and compliance functions.
◢ In the 1990s, European governments launched substantial "training and technical assistance" programs to help post-Communist states raise standards. Iran needs similar programs, and a model from Sweden may be the most effective.

Laborfest: Film: The Young Karl Marx
Laborfest
518 Valencia, San Francisco. 16th St BART
The Young Karl Marx, 2017 (118 min.) Germany
FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival
Directed by Raoul Peck (Germany)
Karl Marx: May 5, 1818 to March 4, 1883
On the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx, his ideas are as relevant today as they were when he and his collaborator, Frederick Engels, were writing and organizing. The growing crisis of technology, creating great wealth then as technology does now, while lives of the mass of workers become increasingly difficult, is wealth disparity. The film, The Young Karl Marx, looks at the early lives of Marx and his collaborator Engels, whose father owned a factory in Manchester. The industrial revolution began in Manchester where we see the conditions of working people in this period,the struggle that took place to understand this economic revolution and its effect on working people. More than two hundred years since his birth, his theoretical understanding continues to be critically relevant to our lives today and we see in this film where his ideas come from and how he organized to put them into practice. Fundamental to understanding capitalism is a reading of his 3 volume work, Capital, his shorter writing, the Communist Manifesto, written in 1848, and his labor view of history.

Amazon unveils the synopsis of the 'Lord of the Rings' prequel
Amazon Studios has finally unveiled the official synopsis of its highly-anticipated 'Lord of the Rings' prequel.
After three years of acquiring the rights of the series, the streaming giant finally has taken steps towards formalising it. The new series will be set thousands of years before the events of JRR Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings'.
"Amazon Studios' forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history," TheOneRing.net reported.
The most heartbreaking deaths of Bond girls in 007 movies
"This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of JRR. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone."

Hibernian Homme, writer of an eclectic, personal, and very entertaining blog, having been nominated for a Beautiful Blogger award, nominated me as one of his seven. Very kind, very flattering. I had once before been tagged, and had to perform the required exercise, to tell seven things about myself that my readers might not know (for that list, click here). Now I had to overcome my natural modesty ( I ask my friends to be quiet here, no chortling) and tell seven more of my most personal secrets. Okay, needed a couple of days for that. One does not give up personal details too easily in print.
I had little time to ponder this question, for THEN the divine Barbara of It's About Time, and Early American Gardens tagged me, and the essay she wrote for her seven nominations was both so kind and lovely, and her list of what she loves so dazzling, that now the bar had been raised impossibly high. And again the question of math? Do I do a list for each nomination, or just seven of each for all? And in nominating Barbara back, do I nominate both blogs or just the blogger? Hmmmm…….
So, how do I handle all this acclaim from my fellows, other than with becoming modesty? Where are my lists? Tune in tomorrow for the answers. Right now, I have to go and finish whitewashing a plank ceiling. Don't ask what shade….
Brad, I love these watercolors!!! Thank you so much.
We, your faithful readers, are on stand by.


Imagination Technologies said on Wednesday that the proposed sale of its chip business, MIPS, no longer needs investor approval after a third party confirmed it was no longer actively considering making an offer for the chip designer.
Late last week it emerged that Imagination had agreed to be taken over by US-based, Chinese-backed private equity firm Canyon Bridge Partners for £550m. The company also said it had agreed the sale of its MIPS business to US-based Tallwood VC for a cash payment of $65m.
That sale needed shareholder approval under the UK Takeover Code as one party had not confirmed that its interest in Imagination had terminated. Now that Imagination has received confirmation the party is not interested, the sale of MIPS - expected to complete next month - can proceed without shareholder approval.
At 1000 BST, Imagination shares were down 0.7% to 170.25p.

by Jean Bourgeois, Professor of Archaeology, University of Ghent, Belguim.
England, France and Flanders; sometimes so close and similar, and yet sometimes so distant and different. The exhibition 'Beyond the Horizon' focuses on the similarities that are certainly present between both sides of the Channel and the North Sea. It is even possible to observe that at a certain moment in the Bronze Age there was such a striking similarity that one can speak about a single cultural group; the 'Manche-Mer du Nord' group. However, in Flanders, differences also appear, showing that this part of the coast had relations with other parts of Europe, more to the north and the centre of the continent.
Recent research in Flanders over the last two or three decades has revealed a lot of new sites and data about the Bronze Age, mainly thanks to aerial photography and to large scale excavations. This lecture will seek to put forward an overview of these new results. For example, it will show how closely similar the burial practices of the Bronze Age can be on both sides of the Channel, but will also reveal some differences, stressing the fact that each area has also its own characteristics, its own identity. The same goes for settlements and buildings, where similarities with the Netherlands are obvious and certainly more evident than the similarities with England or Northern France.
Building up a general overview of the Bronze Age archaeology of Flanders, this lecture will seek to find a balance between stressing common identity and revealing mutual differences.

Free radicals. It sounds like something they give away at protest rallies. But in your body, they are cells with unpaired electrons that attack other molecules to achieve stability, damaging the DNA of those molecules and spreading disease.
Enter the antioxidant -- compounds the body uses as its defense system to fight free radicals and keep them from setting off chain reactions of cell mutation that can lead to a host of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's [source: Davis].
One antioxidant getting a lot of attention on the free radical fighting scene is Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). Also known as thioctic acid, ALA is naturally produced in the body, as well as absorbed from certain foods we eat, such as red meat, spinach, potatoes, broccoli, yams, carrots, beets and yeast [source: American Cancer Society].
For 20 years, ALA supplements have been used to treat HIV, sciatica, cancer, liver problems, hepatitis, strokes, vascular disease, diabetes, cataracts, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, burning mouth syndrome and Alzheimer's. Some doctors believe ALA can even help slow the aging process [source: National Toxicology Program].
But because they are not drugs, ALA supplements are not subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration. Respected medical journals haven't jumped on the antioxidant bandwagon and more studies are needed to test its effectiveness in humans.
In the following sections, you'll learn about some of the research surrounding ALA and how this antioxidant works in the body, along with its benefits, side effects, and impact on weight loss and peripheral neuropathy -- numbness in the hands and feet.
First, let's investigate how Alpha Lipoic Acid works in your body.
ALA is a fatty acid both produced by the body and absorbed from the foods you eat. When it binds to certain proteins, ALA plays an important role in our metabolism -- namely the Krebs cycle, the body's main process for converting carbohydrates into energy. And unlike other antioxidants, ALA is both water and fat soluble, enabling it to work throughout the body. That's why it's found in varying concentrations in all your muscles and internal organs [source: Larsen].
Your body typically produces enough ALA for its role in creating energy. But when there's an excess in your system, ALA does not bind to protein and acts as an antioxidant. When in this "free" state, ALA deactivates a wide variety of free radicals, such as heavy metals, circulating through your body. It may also help regenerate other antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E to fight more free radicals [source: Berkeley Wellness Letter].
Because we produce less ALA as we age, some researchers believe that taking a supplement may help slow the aging process. ALA, combined with acetyl-L-carnitine, has been touted as an anti-aging and vitality supplement [source: National Toxicology Program]. To learn more about the benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid, read on.
Available in doses between 30 and 100 mg, you can order ALA tablets or capsules online or buy them at health food stores. It is recommended that ALA supplements be taken on an empty stomach. However, no one has established a safe and effective dosage, and the National Institutes of Health's Office of Dietary Supplements does not have a fact sheet on ALA., so you should consult your doctor before adding it to your daily regimen [source: Office of Dietary Supplements, Higdon].
Many of the health benefits attributed to ALA supplements are based on lab testing on animals, primarily rats. Whether humans would experience similar results from ALA's antioxidant powers has not been studied enough to produce definite answers.
Early animal studies suggest that ALA may help in treating Alzheimer's and other diseases that affect the nervous system [source: Larsen]. Additional studies have shown that a combination of antioxidants (including ALA) has helped cancer patients regain their appetite and weight. While early lab experiments suggest that ALA might cause cancer cells to self-destruct, it is unknown if the same effect can be replicated in animals or humans. Researchers are studying ALA as a possible therapy for reducing the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. Research is also underway to determine if ALA can help prevent nerve damage that may result from some chemotherapy drugs [source: American Cancer Society].
Another potential benefit of ALA is the treatment of diabetes. Although some studies have found that ALA has a positive effect on insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism and diabetic neuropathy, more research is needed to determine whether ALA supplements provide substantial benefits for type 2 diabetes and its complications [source: National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine].
ALA supplements may also decrease the buildup of plaque within the arteries. One study found that ALA reduced heart damage caused by chemotherapy drugs. Another found it beneficial in treating cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy -- a condition characterized by an irregular heartbeat that's common in diabetics [source: Higdon, American Cancer Society].
There are also reports that ALA may have health benefits in relation to cataracts, seizures, kidney damage and liver disease, but additional studies are necessary before any definite conclusion is drawn. In addition, ALA, like just about any other medication or supplement, is not without its side effects. Read on to find out more about ALA's side effects.
Scientists first discovered the ALA compound in bacteria back in 1937. At one time scientists believed ALA was a vitamin -- substances the body needs, but can't produce on its own. But in 1998, it was identified as an antioxidant crucial to energy production in the body [source: American Cancer Society].
Research has shown that patients can take 300 to 600 milligrams of ALA a day with relatively few side effects, such as skin rashes, stomachaches, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. However, the jury is still out on the long-term effects of taking ALA supplements. Anyone with pre-existing medical conditions should exercise caution. Children are not advised to take ALA. Pregnant and nursing women should consult their doctors before taking it.
Diabetics who take ALA must monitor their blood sugar levels carefully, because the supplements may lower blood glucose levels [source: National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine].
ALA may also lower levels of thyroid hormone and thyroid-regulating medications (Levothyroxine). Hormone levels should be monitored closely for those taking thyroid hormones and ALA supplements [source: University of Maryland Medical Center]. There is also concern that ALA might interfere with radiation therapy or chemotherapy by making the treatments less effective [source: American Cancer Society].
Unlike prescription drugs, supplements like ALA capsules don't have to be approved by the FDA before they are released on the market. Nor are they tested for their adverse affects when taken with other medication. In 2005, supplements accounted for almost 24,000 calls to U.S. poison control centers [source: American Cancer Society]. That's why it's always best to check with your doctor before taking any herbal remedy.
Read on to learn how ALA may help you lose weight.
It takes a variety of antioxidants to protect a cell from free radicals. ALA may be able to convert other antioxidants to their active forms, namely vitamins C and E, Coenzyme Q10 and glutathione [source: Treadwell].
If you have a rat with a weight problem, ALA supplements might help get rid of some of that cheese you feed him. But if you're a human looking to slim down for bikini season, you should probably stick with your diet and exercise plan. At this point, ALA hasn't proven its effects on the human body.
Recent studies have shown ALAs can regulate metabolism and inhibit the metabolism of fat in the liver. Unfortunately, those findings are based on lab experiments involving cultured rat liver cells and skeletal muscles -- not bathing beauties [source: Treadwell]. So, there's no indication the same results would occur in humans.
One study conducted at the University of Ulsan College of Medicine in Seoul, Korea, found that ALA decreases the activity of fuel sensors in rats, causing the rodents to eat less and expend more energy, resulting in "profound" weight loss [source: National Center for Biotechnology Information]. But until the same effect is observed in humans, there's probably no point in popping an ALA supplement to achieve weight loss.
The bottom line is further research is necessary concerning ALA's effects on humans in regard to its use for weight loss. In general, it's always best to use extreme caution when taking supplements. And if you do decide to incorporate ALA or any other supplement into your diet, be sure to share that information with your physician.
Next up, learn about ALA's effect on numbness and tingling, or peripheral neuropathy.
When ALA is chemically synthesized, the compound has two isomers, R and S. ALA synthesized by the body has only the R form. Most, if not all, of the studies performed in humans have used a racemic 50/50 mixture of the R and S isomers. It is not clear yet whether R-ALA supplements are better than racemic ALA supplements [sources: Treadwell, Higdon].
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition characterized by pain and numbness in the hands and feet that occurs in patients with diabetes, nerve pressure (from abnormal bone growth or a tumor), vitamin deficiency, kidney or liver disease and alcoholism. Cancer treatment chemicals can also cause it and HIV patients are prone to it [source: Mayo Clinic].
More than 20 percent of diabetic patients develop peripheral neuropathy -- the leading cause of lower limb amputation. Oral and intravenous ALA is approved for use in Germany for treatment of diabetic neuropathy and in the U.S., research has shown that ALA may be helpful in treating nerve damage in diabetics and in cancer patients [source: American Cancer Society].
In a clinical trial, diabetic patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy who were given 200 mg of ALA intravenously for 21 days reported a reduction in pain. A larger study of diabetics with peripheral neuropathy who were injected with 600 mg of ALA a day for three weeks, followed by 12 weeks of oral supplements, also experienced relief [source: Larsen].
A small study in Austria found that more than half of the cancer patients who took ALA after getting the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin reported an improvement in neuropathy symptoms [source: American Cancer Society]. The National Cancer Institute is currently conducting a phase-3 study on ALA's use in preventing peripheral neuropathy in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment [source: Higdon, American Cancer Society].

In 2007, the FDA established new regulations to improve the consistency and safety of dietary supplements. Manufacturers are required to comply with the new standards by 2010, including making sure the supplements don't contain contaminants or impurities and are properly labeled [source: American Cancer Society].

Numerology studies the symbolism of numbers, to uncover insights and relationships between numbers and people, real world events, contexts and life in general.
Everything is a form of energy which vibrates on a certain frequency.
Numerology is the tool that helps you uncover relevant life information via digging into the significance of numbers associated with you, others and various life events.
All numbers, no matter how complex, can be reduced to single digits numbers, except for 11 and 22, which are special numbers.
So there are eleven numbers we use to develop numerology charts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22. For the larger numbers, we add the digits together until their sum is one of the core numbers.
There is just one exception to the rule of reducing numbers to single digits: the 11, 22 and 33 master numbers. Their significance is intensified versus 2 and respectively 4, which are the single digit numbers they replace.
Most people associate numerology with the date of birth interpretation. As a first step, you can use this date (in the numeric format mm/dd/yyyy) to determine the Lifepath Number.
Life Path Number 1 (10/1, 19/1): Natural born leader. Watch-out on being a follower.
Life Path Number 2 (11/2, 20/2): Highly developed on the spiritual side. Watch out not to go to extremes.
Life Path Number 3 (3, 12/3, 21/3): Great on creativity and communication. Watch-out on becoming superficial.
Life Path Number 4 (4, 13/4, 22/4, 31/4): Very practical, with huge drive to make things happen. Watch-out on being caught in the routine.
Life Path Number 5 (5, 14/5, 23/5, 32/5): Progressive, aiming to make the world a better place. Watch-out on losing the direction.
Life Path Number 6 (6, 15/6, 24/6, 33/6): The ultimate nurturer. Watch-out on the rejection of responsibility.
Life Path Number 7 (7, 16/7, 25/7, 34/7): Amazing thinker. Watch-out on high-low shifts.
Life Path Number 8 (8, 17/8, 26/8, 35/8): Very ambitious and goal-oriented. Watch-out on damaging relationships due to workaholism and obsession with success.
Life Path Number 9 (9, 18/9, 27/9, 36/9): A philosopher and humanitarian. Watch-out on fighting the daily realities of life effectively.
You can use numerology to assess the relationship compatibility based on looking at different sets of numbers.
Most people do this to estimate the long-term compatibility potential with a potential partner. You can use the insights also to improve existing relationships and generally to address relationships challenges of any kind.
Remember to keep in mind the big picture and use constructively the insights you uncover.
Life Path number is the most important element when it comes to assessing relationship compatibility.
* The Master numbers 11 and 22 are reduced to 2 and respectively 4 in this context.
Negative: same as number 2 (see above).
Positive: same as for number 4 (see above), with an even stronger focus on achieving extraordinary results.
Negative: same as number 4 (see above).
What is the Destiny Number?
The Destiny Number (also called the Expression Number), is the birth date number, resulting from all the letter of your full birth name.
This number indicates the meaning you have in this life, the lessons you need to learn and the opportunities you can take advantage of to fulfill your destiny.
How Do You Calculate the Destiny Number?
Then add the numbers corresponding to each name and once again reduce to a single digit number.
Destiny Number 1 (1, 10/1, 19/1, 28/1, 37/1): destined to grow on the path of becoming a leader.
Destiny Number 2 (11/2, 20/2, 29/2, 38/2): destined to develop through a meaningful spiritual journey.
Destiny Number 3 (12/3, 21/3, 30/3, 39/3): being an inspirational figure for others via leveraging creativity and positive energy.
Destiny Number 4 (4, 13/4, 22/4, 31/4, 40/4): destined to grow as a 'master builder' on the path to achieve stretch goals.
Destiny Number 6 (6, 15/6, 24/6, 33/6, 42/6, 51/6): growth via making significant contributions to the community, out of love and a greater sense of responsibility.
Destiny Number 7 (7, 16/7, 25/7, 34/7, 43/7, 52/7): destined to push the boundaries of wisdom further via cutting edge thinking abilities.
Destiny Number 8 (8, 17/8, 26/8, 35/8, 44/8, 53/8): destined to reach the top of the ladder in the material world.

This number represents what your soul craves for. It uncovers your deepest desires, likes, dislikes and cravings.
When you live in alignment with your soul urges, you have a sense of inner peace and fulfilment.
How Do You Calculate the Soul Urge Number?
You need to convert to numbers the vowels (a, e, i, o, u) from your full birth name.
Here is the letter – numbers correspondence to be used: A = 1, U = 3, E & W = 5, O = 6, Y = 7, I = 9.

What is the Inner Dreams Number?
This number is associated with your secret dreams and desires. Some of these dreams may never be realized.
However, sometimes they are so strong in your subconscious, that they are projected in the outer world as a personality trait.
How Do You Calculate the Inner Dreams Number?
*Don't count W and Y as consonants if they meet the conditions to be counted as vowels (see the explanation given at the soul urge number, above).
Add all the numbers that are corresponding to all consonants in your name and repeat the sum up operation until you reduce them to single digit numbers.
Inner Dreams Number 1: you dream of reaching beyond the highest heights and be recognized for courage and leadership.

Home London Shopping Why You Simply Must See Soho When Visiting London
Why You Simply Must See Soho When Visiting London
By David -
Fun loving, diverse and hardly ever quiet, Soho attracts an ample mix of people. It is simply a must see for tourists, and Londoners, thanks to its venues, history and atmosphere. You might have made an innocent mistake if you thought that Soho was all about trendy people, hipster restaurants and salacious back alley sex shops. There is so much more to this buzzing district than may initially meet the eye.
Soho is the place to be if you're looking for live entertainment, a pulsing nightlife, and interesting food. The hours will fly by as you browse the quaint boutique shops, catch a West End show, and gobble down a hearty meal finishing it off with a delicious cocktail. There is as you probably know, a distinct risqué vibe to the area, as this is one area of London where you will find many sex shops lined up along back streets, gay and lesbian bars, and burlesque dancing shows. There are other equally interesting areas within walking distance of Soho including Chinatown, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden and Mayfair.
Soho is located in the heart of London's West End. With a 2.6 square kilometre radius, it's easy to explore on foot, and is very close to Oxford Street, Leicester Square, Regents Street and Charing Cross Road. If you plan on being in London for more than a day it'd be a smart idea to invest in a Visitor Oyster card which is conveniently delivered to your home before you arrive in London. A day spent in Soho shopping is a day well spent. Some of the capitals most intriguing boutiques are found along the cobblestoned streets of Carnabystreet, Berwick street and in Kingly Court. Soho is also home to some pretty acclaimed stores such as mock Tudor department store Liberty, and classical toy shop Hamleys. There is also Agent Provocateur, where you can shop for high quality lingerie and Paul A Young, a shop with luxury, handmade, mouth-watering chocolates.
Theatre Nights In Soho
Primarily focused in the West End, London's theatre scene has been entertaining visitors for a long time. There are a number of Soho theatres including the Prince Edward Theatre and the Prince of Wales Theatre where you can watch everything from big budget movies and off-the-wall cabaret, to stand up comedy and even classical plays from a time since passed. There's a shows to suit all tastes, so you'll never have to worry about finding something you like. Most of the West End shows do incredibly well and are smash hits so ultimately you are in good hands if you choose to visit a theatre in this district. A great example of a show that's done very well and is a must see is Stomp, a highly physical theatre performance which uses the body and everyday objects as instruments. Then there's also the spectacularly poignant Les Miserables, which has been seen by over 70 million people around the world and is the worlds longest running musical.
Dining Out In Soho
In tune with the rest of area, the Soho dining scene has a lot of offer. Soho has a diverse and exciting array of food options dependant on your style and food preferences. From the opulent, to the quirky, to down-to- earth and traditional, Soho has it all, and you won't have to look far to see the bright lights of the stunning restaurants all around you. If its cheap food you're after you might want to enter the cosy, and rather charming YallaYalla, which offers some pretty fantastic Beirut street food. Or if you've stayed in London for the night you could do brunch at the small but mighty Breakfast club cafe, where your fry-up and coffee fantasies meet reality. If you really want to treat yourself why not stop by one of Soho's Michelin-starred restaurant. Social Eating House and Yauatcha, and Arbutus are renowned for their eclectic, buzzing, atmospheres and of course- great food. Meat, has also become a firm favourite, have become more prevalent on many restaurant menus across London. If burgers, steak or chicken are your cup of tea then try out Honest Burgers, Mash, or ClockJack Oven.
Soho is, without a doubt at the soul of London's clubbing and live music scene, but there are also secret clubs and casual bars to be found. Some of the most popular including Bar Soho and The O Bar supply plenty of cocktail for your night out in the West End. There is a high concentration of gay and lesbian bars and clubs in Soho, which is also a hub for the Pride In London festivities each year. Jazz music made its appearance in the UK thanks to Soho, with clubs such as Ronnie Scots offering excellent nights of mellow melodies and earthy grooves. If you prefer to do the singing yourself you could always check out the Lucky Voice karaoke bar, which promises you an unbeatable night out where you can scream, shout and sing your heart out.
When it's time to wind down for the night, you should check out the stunningly modern boutique hotel The Piccadilly London West End Hotel. It's the perfect end to a rip-roaring night out!

Breaking boundaries in the world of business and disrupting South Africa's male-dominated security sector is entrepreneur and owner of GlobeScope Security Solutions, Glynn Mashonga. She has been running her electronic security installation business successfully for the past nine years and believes that she will continue to do so for the next 50!

I am very fortunate in that I run my own company which has always been a dream of mine. We specialise in security systems.

My most vivid childhood memory would have to be my first puppy – Tammy. I can still remember her smell.
3. If you could invite any three people, dead or alive, for dinner, who would they be and why?
My job is very stressful and comedy always makes me feel more relaxed. So I would most definitely have the following people for dinner; Marc Lottering, Trevor Noah and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory TV series). It would be a blast.
4. If you ever found yourself auditioning for a music reality TV show, what song would you sing and why?
I would sing 'Magic' by Coldplay – it's the perfect description of my relationship with my husband.
