" Where is the restroom? "
It is very natual, but is it found in your travel guide book?
Further, excretion is very important and foundamental behavior. How to do it is one of the conservative custom for everyone. If you travel abroad in a country which has another culture about toilet, It will be very difficult to accept for you.
This site provides you the information about the toilets of the world with their images. You can understand easily what it is like. We hope our site will be a guidepost of your travel.
This site is Link Free: any links are welcome without link from the adult sites, though I would be happy if you could notice us in advance if you like to link. (If you've already made one, just remind us so.) When you link, please make sure that you link to the Home Page (http://worldtoilet.info/). We appreciate your cooperation.

Carriera
Per quanto la sua carriera nel motociclismo sia iniziata alla guida di motociclette Norton e verso la fine abbia guidato anche Yamaha, il suo nome è indissolubilmente legato alla casa motociclistica giapponese Suzuki, con cui ha ottenuto i suoi migliori risultati gareggiando con suoi modelli in quasi tutte le classi dal motomondiale 1962 fino al 1970.

In totale nel motomondiale ha vinto 3 gran premi (il primo in occasione del Gran Premio motociclistico del Giappone del 1963) e nel 1965 si è laureato vicecampione del mondo nella classe 125 alle spalle di Hugh Anderson.

Muore il 17 marzo 2015 all'età di 83 anni, a seguito di una lunga malattia.

Q: How can I change cursor color in VSCode? Is there a way to change the cursor colour in the Visual Studio Code editor window?
I am slightly colour blind, so I would like to change it from red to something else (yellow maybe) to improve accessibility and make it easier for me to read.

A: Try adding this to your global preferences file:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorCursor.foreground": "#ffff00",
    "terminalCursor.foreground": "#ffff00"
}

Also worth noting that if you're colourblind, there are probably some colourblind-friendly themes for vscode out there, though I can't say I have looked for them myself.

PerryGolf's Howie Knodt claims Super Senior title
October 15, 2018 October 15, 2018 Brian Mull
Turning 65 earlier this year opened a new chapter for Howie Knodt in competitive golf as he resumed playing and quickly returned to a familiar place – the trophy presentation ceremony.
Knodt, a PerryGolf Customer Relations Representative, won the Southern California Golf Association Super Senior Championship last month, firing 68-72-140 at Ojai Valley Inn & Spa for a three-shot victory.
Despite a distinguished amateur record, the San Diego resident played a limited tournament schedule in recent years. Becoming eligible for the Super Senior division, however, motivated him to practice. He delivered, withstanding the final round pressure of leading the tournament and holding off two-time defending champion Kemp Richardson.
"It was a chance to see a lot of guys I haven't seen for a long time," Knodt said. "I'm kind of surprised because I haven't been playing any tournaments. Guess it shows I still have a little gas in the tank."
Then again, no one in Southern California should be surprised.
Knodt dominated the Senior Division a decade ago, earning Player of the Year honors in 2009 and 2010 as he won the SCGA Senior Amateur and twice claimed the SCGA Senior Match Play title. He's also a four-time San Diego Senior Am champion and 10-time club champion at San Diego Country Club, which was founded in 1897, has been at its current Chula Vista location since 1921 and has the reputation as the best conditioned course in the region.
In recent years, Knodt has focused on serving as a liaison between PerryGolf and the First Tee, organizing fundraisers for the 150 chapters nationwide. PerryGolf is a Silver Corporate Sponsor of the First Tee, which reaches more than 5 million kids annually, using golf to teach core values and develop healthy, productive citizens.
Knodt also hosts webinars for PerryGolf and escorts guests on a Tour on occasion, impressing several guests with his shotmaking and golf skill on a recent Escorted Tour to Australia and New Zealand.
https://www.perrygolf.com/escorted-tour/new-zealand-escorted-golf-package-nov5.php
Knodt brings a wealth of travel industry knowledge and experience to PerryGolf. Prior to coming on board six years ago, he spent three decades as the managing partner of Carefree Travel, overseeing a half-dozen retail stores across the San Diego area. He also owned and operated Special Event Cruises, providing continuing education programs at sea for doctors and dentists.
https://www.perrygolf.com/golfcruising/new-zealand-sydney-golf-cruise-2019.php
A strong player since college, Knodt received a unexpected stroke of good fortune while playing in a tournament in his mid-50s. He won six free golf lessons with San Diego instructor Bob Madsen and the partnership drove him toward improving his golf fitness and forming a plan that ultimately produced his early senior success.
"He turned out to be an amazing instructor and coach," Knodt said. "He sat down with me for 2-3 hours and asked me what I wanted to try and accomplish. He laid out this plan to try and accomplish these goals. He had an unorthodox approach. The first two or lessons I never hit balls and he never put my swing on video."
Knodt advanced to match play in the 2009 U.S. Senior Amateur at Shady Oaks, the legendary home of Ben Hogan in Fort Worth, Tex., finished top 20 in the British Senior Amateur at Walton Heath and dominated the competition around San Diego County and Southern California.
https://www.perrygolf.com/destinations/england-wales-golf-vacations.php
After selling his travel agency, Knodt's relationship with PerryGolf began via email correspondence and subsequent two-hour phone conversation with president and co-founder Gordon Dalgleish
"I love Gordon and the whole group over there," Knodt said. "They're such a joy to work with and I love their business philosophy."
Winning the SCGA Super Senior earned Knodt exemptions into several of the association major championships next year. He'll play in four or five of those and continue his work with the First Tee, volunteering locally in San Diego and also helping coordinate the golf package auctions which raise money for the individual chapters.
And if you happen to run across him on the course, be certain to take the full allotment of shots your handicap allows. Chances are, you'll need everyone of them.

Myofascial Release Therapy is an extremely effective hands-on technique that works by applying gentle, sustained pressure to eliminate pain and restore flexibility and motion to the fascia (connective tissue). The science behind Myofascial Release states that fascia is a densely woven sheath that interpenetrates and "houses" every muscle, bone, vein, nerve and all of our internal organs including the spinal cord. A good visualization is a web that in effect holds everything together in a neat package, connecting every part of the body to every other part of the body. In its natural healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and has the flexibility to stretch and move without undue restriction. If however there has been physical trauma to the body or scarring, the normally pliable fascia becomes tight and restricted, causing tension throughout the rest of the body. This condition is sometimes referred to as myofascial pain syndrome.
Myofascial therapy is intuitive; it is effortless and applicable for all clients and it addresses all levels of the human structure: physical, emotional and mental. It will also help you, as therapist, to avoid burnout from overwork.
All students will give and receive this valuable work and will be taught to integrate these gentle, yet effective techniques into all their other massage modalities such as Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue.
Practicing the techniques of Myofascial Release Therapy including: melting, lengthening, spreading, and defining of connective tissues.
Refining your skills in assessing and addressing pain throughout the body.
Learning to engage your clients in the healing process through utilizing active and resistive movements.
Focusing on increasing your awareness of patterns that reside in the body including: physical habits, overuse patterns and mental and emotional patterns.
Developing practical skills that get results without producing discomfort.
Learning to slow down, focus your attention, and work with less effort.
Integrating more fun and ease into your professional work.
Students are encouraged to develop a multi-disciplinary approach to chronic pain, exploring such techniques as ice therapy, cross fiber friction, muscle energy techniques, active isolated stretching, orthopedic assessments and self care.


Salt Lake Mayor Ralph Becker signs a document known as the Utah Compact during a press conference where community leaders gathered in support of immigration reform at the State Capitol in Salt Lake City Thursday, Novmeber 11, 2010.
SALT LAKE CITY — Some players in the national immigration reform movement are calling it a "kairos moment."
They say there is national momentum — and an opening — to push Congress to reform the nation's unworkable immigration laws in 2013.
Paul Mero, president of the Sutherland Institute, a Utah-based conservative public policy think tank, said he intends to tell members of Utah's congressional delegation during visits Wednesday to seize that opportunity and to use the Utah Compact as a guide.
"I'm going to tell them, 'You guys have a great opportunity to lead in Congress. You come from the state that has for now created the gold standard how you solve this problem,'" Mero said.
The now 2-year-old Utah Compact outlines principles to guide the state's immigration debate, urging federal solutions and policies that do not separate families. The original signers of the document included business, religious, government and community leaders.
The document's five planks include federal solutions, law enforcement, families, the economy and a free society.
For Utah's elected leaders to bury their heads in the sand would be "an embarrassment," said Mero, who helped draft the Utah Compact and was among the first Utahns to sign it.
"We've already written the text. The narrative is there. Just follow it, and put it on a national stage," Mero said during the National Immigration Forum's National Strategy Session conducted Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
Some 450 faith, law enforcement and business leaders are taking part in the meetings to urge the incoming Congress and the Obama administration to make immigration reform a priority in 2013.
Tuesday's strategy session capped a series of summits nationwide, one of which was hosted by Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff in Salt Lake City in October 2011.
Shurtleff said 2013 is a "kairos moment" for Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
The attorney general said he hopes the national debate can be elevated to the point that leaders recognize the issues are foremost about people and human dignity.
For example, Shurtleff said, "The use of the word 'anchor baby' when we're talking about a child of God is offensive."
Unfortunately, the first casualty of the national immigration debate "has been the truth," he said.
"The only way you pass Arizona-style laws is misinformation and flat-out lies," Shurtleff said.
Utah Compact and subsequent passage of more measured state immigration laws solidified Utah as a leader in the national discussion, said Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum.
While Noorani was aware of these efforts, his perception of Utah's role in the national debate was confirmed during a chance meeting on an airplane with Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius.
Noorani used the opportunity to advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. Sebelius asked him if he had heard of the Utah Compact.
"I said, 'Well, yes I have,'" Noorani said.
Sebelius told him, "What they've done in Utah is change the debate."
Kenneth McClure, counsel for the Idaho Business Coalition for Immigration Reform, said the Utah Compact "defined a higher moral ground. It did it in a way that was inoffensive and nonthreatening."
While Idaho officials declined to develop their own compact, the Utah document was "nevertheless useful in identifying higher ground," McClure said.

Albania and Kosovo to unite, inside EU or not: Albanian PM
Fatos Bytyci, Matt Robinson
PRISTINA/BELGRADE (Reuters) - The unification of Albania and Serbia's majority-Albanian former province of Kosovo is "inevitable", whether it happens through membership of the European Union or not, Albania's prime minister said on Tuesday.

The suggestion was denounced in Belgrade, where a senior official accused Tirana's Prime Minister Edi Rama of "banging the war drums" over Kosovo, which many Serbs regard as the cradle of their nation and Orthodox Christian faith.
Serbia and the West are sensitive to any talk of unification of Albania and Kosovo, something Western powers ruled out when they backed Kosovo's secession from Serbia in 2008.
Kosovo and NATO-member Albania have long said they hope to 'unite' under the flag of the EU, where open borders are more freely crossed by people and goods.
But many people in the Balkans, wracked by instability and war in the 1990s after the Cold War ended, are frustrated by what they see as EU reluctance to open its doors to the region.
"The unification of the Albanians of Albania and Kosovo ... is inevitable and unquestionable," Rama said in an interview late on Monday with the Kosovo broadcaster Klan Kosova.
"The question is how it will happen. Will it happen in the context of the EU as a natural process and understood by all, or will it happen as a reaction to EU blindness or laziness."
Criticizing the EU's reluctance to extend a visa-free regime to Kosovo, Rama said the bloc should think more strategically and "demand that the Balkans should become part of it as soon as possible.
"Then, of course, all ethnicities in the Balkans would be together without the need to deal with borders," he said.
An adviser to Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said Rama should stop "banging the war drums", while Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic took to Twitter to say Albania and Kosovo would "never unite".
"I ask Albanian leaders to stop inciting instability in the region," Vucic tweeted.
Kosovo seceded from Serbia in 2008, almost a decade after NATO intervened with air strikes to drive out Serbian forces and halt the killing and expulsion of ethnic Albanian civilians during a two-year counter-insurgency war.
The young country has been recognized by more than 100 countries, including 23 of the EU's 28 members, but Serbia says it will never follow suit.
"We warn the Republic of Albania to stop banging the war drums, to devote itself fully to respecting its international and good-neighborly obligations," Serbian presidential adviser Marko Djuric told a news conference.

Is it possible for an encryption method to exist which is impossible to crack, even using quantum computers?
Quantum computers are known to be able to crack in polynomial time a broad range of cryptographic algorithms which were previously thought to be solvable only by resources increasing exponentially with the bit size of the key. An example for that is Shor's algorithm.
Researchers have developed a computer algorithm that doesn't solve problems but instead creates them for the purpose of evaluating quantum computers.
Can we still expect a new cryptographic algorithm which will be hard to crack using even a quantum computer? For clarity: the question refers to specifically to the design of new algorithms.
The title of your question asks for techniques that are impossible to break, to which the One Time Pad (OTP) is the correct answer, as pointed out in the other answers. The OTP is information-theoretically secure, which means that an adversaries computational abilities are inapplicable when it comes to finding the message.
However, despite being perfectly secure in theory, the OTP is of limited use in modern cryptography. It is extremely difficult to use successfully in practice.
Can we still expect a new cryptographic algorithm which will be hard to crack using even a quantum computer?
Asymmetric cryptography includes Public-Key Encryption (PKE), Digital Signatures, and Key Agreement schemes. These techniques are vital to solve the problems of key distribution and key management. Key distribution and key management are non-negligible problems, they are largely what prevent the OTP from being usable in practice. The internet as we know it today would not function without the ability to create a secured communications channel from an insecure communications channel, which is one of the features that asymmetric algorithms offer.
Shor's algorithm is useful for solving the problems of integer factorization and discrete logarithms. These two problems are what provide the basis for security of widely used schemes such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman.
It should be noted that classical algorithms for solving the above problems may exist, it's just that the runtime/accuracy of these algorithms is prohibitive for solving large instances in practice. These problems don't appear to be solvable when given the ability to solve the problem of order finding, which is what the quantum part of Shor's algorithm does.
Grover's algorithm provides a quadratic speedup when searching through an unsorted list. This is effectively the problem brute-forcing a symmetric encryption key.
Working around Grover's algorithm is relatively easy compared to working around Shor's algorithm: Simply double the size of your symmetric key. A 256-bit key offers 128-bits of resistance against brute force to an adversary that uses Grover's algorithm.
Grover's algorithm is also usable against hash functions. The solution again is simple: Double the size of your hash output (and capacity if you are using a hash based on a sponge construction).
I suppose there is a type of encryption that is not crackable using quantum computers: a one-time pad such as the Vigenère cipher. This is a cipher with a keypad that has at least the length of the encoded string and will be used only once. This cipher is impossible to crack even with a quantum computer.
Let's assume our plaintext is ABCD. The corresponding key could be 1234. If you encode it then you get XYZW. Now you can use 1234 to get ABCD or 4678 to get EFGH what might be a valid sentence too.
So the problem is that nobody can decide whether you meant ABCD or EFGH without knowing your key.
Yes, there are a lot of proposals for Post-quantum cryptographical algorithms that provide the cryptographic primitives that we are used to (including asymmetric encryption with private and public keys).
To follow up on Ella Rose's answer: most practical encryption schemes used today (e.g. Diffie-Hellman, RSA, elliptic curve, lattice-based) are centered around the difficulty of solving the hidden subgroup problem (HSP). However, the first three are centered around the HSP for abelian groups. The HSP for abelian groups can be efficiently solved by the quantum Fourier transform, which is implemented e.g. by Shor's algorithm. They are therefore vulnerable to attack by a quantum computer. Most lattice-based methods, on the other hand, revolve around the HSP for dihedral groups, which are nonabelian. Quantum computers are not believed to be able to efficiently solve the nonabelian HSP, so these algorithms should be able to implement post-quantum cryptography.

I have been thinking about Conan Doyle this week and the failure at auction of a fine first signed presentation of A Study in Scarlet. It was bought in at £250,000. Possibly the Sangorski rebind was a good excuse not to buy it, a limpid wraps copy inscribed would surely sell. Possibly a warmer inscription or a presentation to a fellow explorer of the spiritual realms-someone like Madam Blavatsky or the boy avatar Krishnamurti would have carried it over the finishing line. The inscription read - "This is the very first | independent book of | mine which ever was | published | Arthur Conan Doyle. | Jan 9 / 14".
There must be several thousand Sherlockian punters worldwide but sadly (for the seller) not one of them with a few hundred grand to spare for the great 1887 Beeton's Christmas Annual. One dealer I met took it as a portent--he also cited a lacklustre Churchill sale and major botanical books that were making less now than in the early 1990s without even building in inflation. 'Prices are dropping like stones' he mused. All is not lost, price changes can often be explained by shifts in taste and one can see new auction records being broken almost weekly in the field of fine modern first editions in fine jackets or with great inscriptions. Follow the money --as the swindler might say.
My favourite Sherlock story is Charles Augustus Milverton. Holmes, master of disguise, in pitted against the evil and resourceful Milverton - a pitiless blackmailer of noble women. Holmes disguises himself as a plumber and heads to Hampstead, where he courts Milverton's housemaid, even managing to become her fiancé. The character of Charles Augustus Milverton was based on a real blackmailer, Charles Augustus Howell, an art dealer who preyed upon an unknown number of people, including the poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Not quite a literary swindler, although he may have trousered some of Ruskin's money. His biographer Helen Rossetti Angeli, could find no evidence to support accusations of blackmail. There is a fine Beerbohm watercolour of him eavesdropping at a door while his lover while Rosa Corder forges Rossetti drawings. He is said to have been involved in his friend Felice Orsini's attempt to assassinate Napoleon III in 1858 and to have persuaded Dante Gabriel Rossetti to dig up the poems he buried with his wife Elizabeth Siddal. His death was equally macabre -he was found close to a Chelsea public house with his throat slit, and a ten-shilling coin in his mouth. There is a suggestion he may have died elsewhere. The ten bob bid treatment was apparently reserved for those guilty of slander.
Re that Beeton's - how many books EVER sell at GBP 250,000 or above? The reality is that it's just the highest end of the market, and thus not much to be read into it. I don't think ANY Sherlock Holmes book has sold at that price, or even close to it.
Slightly surprised that investors weren't more interested as it is precisely these top-end rarities that pay dividends in the long run. I assume Sothebys based their £250,000-£400,000 estimate on the $150,000+ made for an uninscribed copy in 2007 - which seems reasonable but for the fact that 2007 was probably a market peak. Always tough to value these unique (or nearly-so) items.
Wouldn't even need to be fine.

Vineyards are classrooms in FLCC program
James Goodman
@goodman_dandc
FLCC%27s Viticulture and Wine Technology program is in its fifth year
The Finger Lakes region boasts 121 wineries and about 200 vineyards
The program combines education on working in vineyards and the winemaking process
The program will have a much bigger presence come January%2C with the completion of its %244M Viticulture Center in Geneva
Tom Stock doesn't want to spend his life behind a desk. Nor does he want to take a job that could be outsourced.
And the idea of being a winemaker seemed very appealing to Stock, 24, who after graduating from Penfield High School spent four years in the Marine Corps.
He is now getting a taste of what the wine industry is like as a student in Finger Lakes Community College's Viticulture and Wine Technology program.
Stock and eight of the other students in the program were recently tested on how deftly they could maneuver a vineyard tractor before getting a primer on how to plant grapevines in a vineyard used by the program in Yates County.
"I don't want to look back and say, 'I didn't do anything interesting,' " said Stock, who began this two-year program last September.
He likes the fact that the program takes him out to the vineyard — a classroom in the fields.
Now in its fifth year, FLCC's program is designed to help meet the needs of the region's robust wine industry, which has 121 wineries and an estimated 200 vineyards.
"This fills a knowledge gap," said Jim Trezise, president of the New York Wine & Grape Foundation in Canandaigua.
Program's appeal
FLCC has a jack-of-all-trades curriculum that combines skills for working in vineyards — the viticulture part of the program — along with winemaking.
"The wineries are small. You have to know a lot of tasks," said Jana Lamboy, who as an associate professor of horticulture at FLCC launched the program in 2009.
The cold, wet climate of western New York makes grape-growing particularly problematic because they are susceptible to disease. Those working in vineyards should have analytical skills. "They need to look at the grapes and their condition, and if they need assistance," said Lamboy.
Six courses, ranging from basic viticulture technology to introduction to enology, which is winemaking, formed the core of the new associate degree in applied science.
Students are expected to take preparatory courses in biology, chemistry and soil science.
FLCC's program will have a much bigger presence come January, with the completion of its $4 million Viticulture Center in Geneva.
Built mostly with state money, the 9,000-square-foot facility will have a working teaching winery and aging room.
"It is very likely we'll draw students from outside the area," said FLCC spokeswoman Lenore Friend.
This FLCC program initially used an old lab at Geneva High School. But after two years, the program moved its lab classes to the nearby Cornell Agriculture and Food Technology Park, which is a partnership with Cornell, Ontario County and the city of Geneva.
Students also take courses at FLCC's main campus in the Ontario County town of Hopewell and do internships at local vineyards and wineries.
FLCC's program is a prime example of a community college responding to the needs of the local economy.
The wine industry in the Finger Lakes now employs a workforce of about 1,800, including about 300 migrant workers, said Trezise. While the total of about 10,000 acres of vineyards in the region has remained steady, the growth has been in small wineries, which more than doubled from the 55 total 14 years ago.
Paul Brock, who has a master's in enology and viticulture from Cornell, coordinates the FLCC's program and teaches some of the core courses. He also owns a winery in the region.
During the recent session in Yates County, Brock gave the students a hands-on lesson in vine planting — showing them how to dig a hole and then properly put a vine into the ground.
"We want as much energy within the vine as possible to get it off to a fast start," said Brock, warning against pruning more of the root than necessary.
Since the two-year FLCC program was launched, at the urging of the industry, about 100 students have taken courses in this discipline.
Thirty-five of these students have gone on to the second year of the program — with 31 of them earning a degree.
"The romance of the industry draws a lot of people. And the labor of the industry drives a lot of people away," said Brock.
Kris Pearson, who is about to enter the second year of the program, said that Brock has high expectations but looks after his students.
"He's an advocate for us," said Pearson, noting how Brock passes on job openings to the students and promotes the program.
A tip from Brock about an opening at the Toro Run Wineries in Ovid, Seneca County, led to Pearson getting an internship at Toro as he began the FLCC program.
Pearson, who has since been promoted to the position of vineyard manager, moved to the area with his wife, Jennifer, to enroll in the FLCC program.
He had been a high school technology teacher in the Hudson Valley and was ready for a change in careers — and working in a vineyard seemed appealing.
"There is something satisfying about seeing something start brand-new — seeing the whole process, from the bare vines to wine," he said.
Tory Franco, 24, who now lives in the Ontario County town of Phelps, switched from starting a career helping rehabilitate injured high school athletes to working in the wine industry because he wanted to do something more physically demanding.
In addition to his job as an assistant to the vineyard manager at the Knapp Winery and Vineyard Restaurant in Romulus, Seneca County, Franco is a student in the FLCC program — and tells how Brock, in his own understated way, is an inspiration.
"He is passionate about making wine," Franco said.
FLCC's niche
Cornell University's viticulture and winemaking program is an academic anchor for the wine industry in the Northeast, with its graduates serving a wide market. FLCC's program is geared toward the local economy.
FLCC's program maintains good relations with Constellation Brands Inc., which is the largest premium wine producer in the world and is based in Victor. Constellation also buys from local vineyards.
But the FLCC curriculum is designed to serve the small vineyards and wineries that dot the Finger Lakes.
"It's very hands-on," said Mackenzie Green, who as a senior at Marcus Whitman High School in Ontario County was in the first class of the FLCC program in 2009. She is now executive assistant at the Geneva Area Chamber of Commerce.
Green, 21, said the program could offer more in marketing — a skill she learned at Keuka College, where she subsequently attended and earned a bachelor's in marketing.
Brock said FLCC already does much more than most programs.
And the skills that the program has given participants have brought some people immediate returns in advancing careers.
Matt Cassavaugh is a success story. When Cassavaugh started the program in 2010, he was a cellar hand at the Casa Larga Vineyards in Perinton — doing everything from cleaning the wine press to bottling wine.
He continued working and rose to the rank of assistant winemaker and then head winemaker when that position opened up.
"They prepared him with the technical knowledge. What they teach at FLCC doesn't seem like candy-coated glossing over," said Steve Richards, general manager of Casa Larga.
Richards supervises a staff of four that is helped by a crew of migrant workers who come for a couple of weeks in March to prune the vines.
While there is no set salary, Brock advises graduates of the program not to take less than $30,000 for annual starting pay. Many land jobs as assistant to managers in vineyards and wineries.
New careers
The FLCC program attracts venturesome individuals looking for a new career.
Jackie Hays-Beske, a graduate of the program, is helping a small local winery, Young Sommer Winery, in Williamson, Wayne County, expand.
The winery was started by Herm Young, who retired as a mechanical engineer from Xerox Corp. in 2008. He and wife, Wilma, own a 20-acre fruit farm and set aside a half-acre for growing grapes.
That's about the same time Hays-Beske moved here from the Miami area to join her husband, Robert, who had relocated to the region a year earlier to become director of project management at the Ginna nuclear plant.
Hays-Beske, who is now 44, worked as a purchaser for Ginna, but started taking classes at the FLCC program in the fall of 2011. That December, she was laid off by Ginna and she has since devoted her energies toward a new career, with the goal of owning a winery someday with her husband.
She works part-time for the Sommer winery, helping with any number of tasks in the winery and small vineyard.
With the winery completing both the expansion of its tasting room and the building of an events room for parties and weddings, Hays-Beske has taken on added responsibilities.
"So far, so good," said Hays-Beske, who is learning new skills so that she doesn't "jump off a cliff" as she pursues her new career.

Change your perspective and it will change your life is a statement commonly used, but not taken seriously enough.
When we need change and progress in our life, we sometimes procrastinate and do nothing because of fear.
I can't is the dominant force instead of yes I can.
Starting from today, be bold and be focused. With perseverance and determination, you can address and conquer your fears, you can change your life for the better!!

PEGGED as a dark horse through the mayoral by-election, Tony Pantlin doesn't see any loss in this election campaign.
The Fraser Coast mayoral hopeful, who finished up third out of the seven candidates, conceded the by-election yesterday.
At the time of print, he had 8,527 votes, falling about 500 votes short of councillor Darren Everard, who had 9,040.
Mr Pantlin said the outcome was as he expected and said the election had been "very rewarding".
"The interactions I've had clearly show that people support me, and they know who I am and what I stand for," Mr Pantlin said.
Mr Pantlin told the Chronicle he enjoyed a quiet dinner with his family and "a good sleep-in" after polling day.
He said running for mayor had been a great investment in "mind and life wealth."
In a post on his official page on Sunday, he congratulated Cr Seymour on a "well-organised and resourced political campaign" attributing the mayor-elect's success to support from the Labor Party. Mr Pantlin said he was looking forward to "a cohesive, accountable council and delivery on your (George's) commitments".
Greg Schmidt, who finished sixth with 3,982 votes, conceded on Saturday night, saying he was "happy to know people have exercised their democratic right to vote".
Cr Seymour's victory means another by-election will be called for Division 10 of the Fraser Coast.

Lamphey ( ) is both a village, a parish and a community near the south coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales, approximately  east of the historic town of Pembroke, and  north of the seaside village of Freshwater East. The 2011 census reported a population of 843.

Freshwater East is in the community as is the village of Hodgeston.

The village includes the ruins of the fourteenth-century Lamphey Bishop's Palace; a palace of the Bishop of St David's.

Church of St Tyfai and St Faith
The parish church, dedicated to St Tyfai (or Tyfie) and St Faith, is medieval in origin but was largely rebuilt in 1869–1871 by the architect Ewan Christian. The fine tower is thirteenth or fourteenth century. In the chancel a piscina and two lancet windows date from the thirteenth century, but have been repositioned. The font is Norman.

Notable landmarks

Several Georgian-era buildings remain, including the guesthouse, Lower Lamphey Park on the Ridgeway. The village has two hotels/restaurants, The Dial public house, a primary school, a service station with a shop, a hairdressers, and a local bakery which has served the community for generations. There are playing fields. The village hall, with a capacity of 120 people, was completed in 2007.

Bishop Vaughan was responsible for adding the first-floor chapel on the north side of Lamphey Hall in the early 16th century. In 1542, Lamphey Manor was "surrendered to Henry VIII in exchange for the rich rectory of Carew".

The grade II listed Lamphey Court, a Georgian mansion, was built in 1823 to the west of the ruins of the Bishop's Palace. It was the seat of the Mathias family until it was sold in 1978 by Wing Commander Lewis Mathias, the High Sheriff of Pembrokeshire.

Governance
Lamphey, together with Cosheston, forms an electoral ward. The total ward population taken at the 2011 Census was 1,671.

Railway
Lamphey railway station on the Pembroke Dock branch of the West Wales Line is operated by Transport for Wales Rail, who also manage the station. Trains stop here on request every two hours in each direction, westwards to  and eastwards to , ,  and .

River
The Pembroke River rises at nearby Hodgeston Hill to flow through Lamphey to Pembroke Castle.

← Just a Few Words on Grey's
Grey's Anatomy 5.10 – "All By Myself" →
The Incredible Ingrid in Concert…
Maybe I should ask Santa for a time-turner *wonders* Until he will give one to me for christmas I should go on and use the few idle minutes I have left of this afternoon to write about the Ingrid Michaelson concert. I am sooooo happy I found out about that on time, even though I failed to notice the show announcement on Ingrid's myspace site. But on twitter she talked about being in Germany and I checked her site again and only an hour later I had bought the ticket.
The concert took place in "Gebäude 9", a really really small club in Cologne (@oceans77: direkt an der Messe, also falsche Rheinseite *g*), which I never have heard of before. But of course Bro2 knew it and has been there before. He has been to all of the regions' tiny clubs for some kind of obscure concert, I'd guess.
There were about 150 – 200 people at the concert, probably closer to 150 than to 200, so it was small and intimate, which was really nice. Ingrid isn't know in Germany at all yet, and from the conversations I listened to before the show started, I gathered that most of them knew her music via myspace, Grey's Anatomy or her support on the Jason Mraz tour earlier this year. There were a lot of students and listen to all this talk about classes and lectures and finding roommates made me feel sooo old.
I had no idea what to expect and I should have figured before that Ingrid wouldn't have brought a band, but I just realized that, when I saw the sparsely equipped stage. There was a electric piano and a mike on the right side, a mike in the middle and bongo drums and another mike on the left. I stood right in front of the stage and regretted that I didn't take the time to buy new batteries or recharge the rechargables for my camera. I could have taken so many wonderful photos. But on the other hand I wasn't distracted by my camera or the need to take pictures and could completly enjoy the concert.
Ingrid came on stage around 09.15 pm and played until 10.30 pm and came back for a few additional songs. And she was fabulous, awesome and just incredibly sweet and funny. I had such a great time. I'm always happy when during a concert the singer sounds a lot like on CD, because that proves that he/she can actually sing. And Ingrid can not just only sing but play the piano and the ukulele and the guitar, although she says herself, she isn't really good at playing guitar. For a few songs she was joined by Katie Herzig, who is a singer/songwriter in her own rights.
Ingrid started with "Overboard", which is one of my absolute favourite songs and so I was ecstatic even during the first song and I stayed ecstatic throughout the concert :-) She played all kind of songs, from the first album "Boys & Girls", which was just released in Germany and the new one "Be OK". Somehow she reminded me of the german singer Sasha, although the music is so not like the music he does. But just like Sasha Ingrid likes to talk a lot during the songs and to tell funny things and stories from her life or recent days. They both don't take themselves too serious, they like to interact with the audience and they definitely enjoy being on stage. I've seen a lot of concerts in my life, but this kind of performance is rare. Most singers and bands have their set routine on stage and they don't change it a bit even over the years.
I would have been happy to just hear Ingrid sing, but it was so much more entertaining this way. Before she sang "Keep Breathing", which was the song of Grey's season 3 finale and her breakthrough in the US, she talked a little about that . How she was lucky to have her songs been placed in commercials or TV shows, even though she didn't have a record contract yet. I can only agree to what she said about Grey's "They pick some kickass music for their show" and she also talked about how the music supervisors always try to find new artists. I got to know a couple of singers/bands through this show and I love it for introducing these artists to me. She also mentioned that after th song was on the show she could finally quit her day-job and be a musician. And "I actually started selling things… well, records, obviously. I didn't sell mugs or tapestries." :-)
It was such a rewarding and incredible evening and I'm sooo happy I got the chance to be there. I even got my "Be OK" CD signed afterwards. Yay! I would have liked to say a few more words to her and tell her how much I appreciate her music, but there were quite a few more fans around who wanted to take a picture and have autographs, so I didn't dare to say anything more. And I didn't dare to hang around either. Maybe the next time. Because there definitely will be a next time!

Ah, Katie Herzig. Die singt auch auf Peter Bradley Adams' "Leavetaking" bei einigen Stücken die Background Vocals, und das nicht schlecht.
Gebäude 9 hätte mir jetzt auch nichts gesagt, aber gut, dass wir dann jetzt wissen, wo's ist ;-).

The Truth Tester 1846-48 - a vegan journal
The Truth Tester was first published in England in 1845, as a temperance (anti-alcohol) journal.
In August 1846 a new editor, William Horsell, based near London, took over and incorporated 'The Healthian', first published in 1842 by the strictly vegan Alcott House Academy.
In his first introduction to the combined journal the new editor stated it would advocate "…entire abandonment of alcoholic drinks, animal-food, tea and coffee, drugs, tobacco and snuff, and condiments".
Following are some extracts and comments from the next two years:
September 1846 - RECIPE FOR A PLAIN BIRD'S NEST SAGO PUDDING (the earliest known deliberately vegan recipe)
Soak half-a-pint of sago in three pints of water, stirring it occasionally until it is uniformly swelled. Pare and core ten or twelve apples, fill the holes in the centre with sugar, and put them, without piling them one over the other, in a nappy or pudding dish, of such size that the sago will just cover them. The sago, which may be seasoned with spice or sugar to suit the palate, may then be poured on, and the pudding baked until the apples are quite soft. It may be made thicker or thinner at pleasure, by using more or less sago. We sometimes boil the sago before baking, and pour it while hot upon the apples. We think the pudding no better, except that it may be baked much quicker. It must be set in a cold pure air when done, and may be eaten cold or hot.
Who ever heard of a pudding without butter, eggs, or milk? Try it – try it; and may you like it as well, and eat less of it than does A VEGETABLE EPICURE.
May 1847 - A letter from a reader in Hampshire suggested: ". . . has seemed to me desirable . . . namely the occasional or periodical meeting together of vegetarians - or the formation of societies for mutual instruction and encouragement."
This was the first time anyone had proposed forming a Vegetarian Society, and it was quickly followed up by William Oldham, the business manager of Alcott House Academy (at this time the word 'vegetarian' meant what we now call 'vegan'). In the June 1847 issue the lead article was a letter from Mr. Oldham announcing a 'Physiological Conference' at Alcott House on Thursday the 8th of July. We were told later that about 50 people attended.
By 1847 Alcott House was struggling financially, and eventually closed the following year. Meanwhile they had made contact with the Bible Christian Church in Salford, near Manchester, which included some very wealthy and influential people and banned the eating of animal flesh. All very useful to Alcott House at that point – but with the problem that the Bible Christians did not ban the use of eggs and dairy products, making things awkward for the cash-strapped, but strictly vegan, Alcott House.
August 1847 – THE VEGETARIAN TABLE
This was an article, apparently by Hannah Bond, the matron of Alcott House, giving full details of the food served at the 'Physiological Conference'. She included a 'Herb Pie' made with eggs and milk, stating that it: ". . . participates to some degree of the animal secretions, though not of their substance, it is well qualified to become a popular dish in helping passengers over the stream from the carnivorous to the herbivorous region."
We can almost hear Hannah gritting her teeth as she accommodated the preference of their wealthy new friends. But it didn't work, the Bible Christians never did get more than half-way across the stream to veganism.
A second meeting was held on September 30, 1847, at the Hydropathic Hospital in Ramsgate, Kent, which was managed by William Horsell. During this the world's first Vegetarian Society was formally launched, with its objective being merely to 'abstain from the flesh of animals'.
The Truth Tester included occasional viewpoints from eggs/dairy users and even meat-eaters, but the editorial emphasis was clear, as can be seen in a letter from a British reader in India, in the November 1847 issue:
"Sir, - I am a subscriber to the Truth-Tester, and a vegetarian. I address you from this distant part of the world, to enquire whether you know of any such work as a treatise on domestic cookery, for the use of those who confine themselves strictly to a vegetable regimen? . . . I have seen a book on 'Vegetable Cookery, by a Lady,' and suppose it to have been published under the patronage or countenance of the Society of Bible Christians. But it recommends the use of eggs, milk, butter, and all manner of injurious spices, all of which are known by pure vegetable-eaters to be hurtful to human health and happiness. What I wish to know is, whether there be any work on the subject for the use of exclusive vegetarians in the strictest sense? . . . If there be no such work, I think there should be, and a fitter person than the editor of the Tester could not be found, perhaps to cause one to be written. . . Calcutta, June 23, 1847."
The lady who wrote the cookbook was Martha Brotherton, wife of Joseph Brotherton who was the Member of Parliament for Salford, a very prominent Bible Christian, and chairman of the meeting that founded the Vegetarian Society.
No reply to the letter was printed. By the time it was published, the editor, William Horsell, still in the London area, was also the Secretary of the new Vegetarian Society – and James Simpson, the wealthiest of the Bible Christians, was the first President.
Within a couple of years the cracks in this uneasy alliance split completely. Simpson moved all operations of the Vegetarian Society to the Manchester area, where it has been based ever since.

Harvard University's team was one of many that proposed to knit together the various uses that surround the site by extending their characteristics into the site. Along the Allegheny, riverfront connections are strengthened; at the western, Convention Center end, Pittsburgh's cultural district extends into the site; along Smallman Street, the Strip District's existing fabric expands into the site; and at the eastern end, the team proposes to initiate housing to create a higher-end residential district along the river. The jury believed this proposal to be believable and achievable, with strong urban design ideas supported by development documentation.

Humbly I Adore Thee
- J. David Hart
Use: General
Using the chant melody Adoro te devote J. David Hart has arranged a communion motet of exquisite beauty and simplicity. Four verses of English text are set for SATB choir and organ. The first verse is a cappella unison, with organ bridges between the phrases. The second verse, a minor third higher, is for soprano solo, with a strict trio in the organ accompaniment. Verse three, in the original key, uses four-part a cappella choir, singing rich harmonies in alternating meters that enhance the text. The last verse is unison with a descant, ending with a 5-voice Amen.
Mr. Hart began his professional career at the age of 10. He has concertized extensively since then, and has served as National Treasurer and Regional Councillor of the American Guild of Organists. He was Organist and Director of Music at the prestigious Shadyside Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh PA. He also has served as Director of Music at the Presbyterian Church in Oakmont PA (that Pittsburgh suburb along the Allegheny River in which CNP is also located). Mr. Hart currently resides in Florida, from where he travels and concertizes for Johannus Orgelbouw of the Netherlands.

Now a million on SoundCloud – This startup is scaling globally
Mike Butcher	@mikebutcher / 11 years
SoundCloud has just announced they have hit a million users. It followers their deal earlier this year with The Hype Machine, but it's clear this is a startup that is scaling globally now from its base in Berlin.
The audio sharing site that's geared towards those who work in the music industry is an online audio platform which lets musicians collaborate, promote and distribute their music via widgets and apps. It's been variously described as a "Flickr for audio" or a "Vimeo for audio", but whatever it is, it's clearly got the kinds of tools and distribution platform which is winning both the hearts and business of artists.
But it's going way more mainstream than that implies, becoming the source of stories like Lindsay Lohan trying to become a pop star and breaking new tracks and albums from established artists like The Foo Fighters.
SoundCloud had a €2.5 million Series A funding in April 2009 from Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures.

50 Years Ago - Scranton teacher's strike comes to a quick end
BY BRIAN FULTON, STAFF WRITER / Published: January 13, 2020
TIMES-TRIBUNE ARCHIVES Striking teachers in front of Scranton Central High School on Jan. 13, 1970. From left: Francis McAndrews, Joseph Kennedy, Alice Kenney and Frank Weinschenk.
Scranton teachers strike ends quickly
After a two-day strike, the Scranton Education Association ended the work stoppage and urged the teachers to go back to the classroom.
The quick end to the strike came after a meeting between Scranton Education Association President Martin Alfano and the executive committee of the association.
Alfano said of the decision, "We deemed it prudent, in the interest of teachers, pupils and the public, to urge every teacher who is not in school to report to their respective schools immediately."
Alfano noted that if the teachers reported to their schools, even though the school day was over, the district had agreed to record them as present.
He also said fewer than 150 teachers were participating in the stoppage.
It was believed that the strike came to an end quickly because teachers represented by the Scranton Federation of Teachers reported to schools and ignored the SEA picket lines.
Scare at Army ammunition plant
The Scranton Army Ammunition Plant at Chamberlain was temporarily evacuated after a bomb threat.
A caller said a bomb had been placed somewhere in the facility and would go off at 12:30 p.m. Hundreds of workers were evacuated, and Scranton police arrived to search the building.
Once the search began, a security guard alerted the authorities that the call was a prank. The employees returned to work.
Tax on cigarettes rising across state
Warner Depuy, state secretary of revenue, announced that starting Jan. 15 an additional 5-cent-per-pack state cigarette tax would go into effect.
He said dealers would be required to pay the tax, and if they failed to do so they would be subject to a fine of $25 per carton and possible license revocation.
