One of the dishes that can not be missed in a tavern in Madrid are the "broken" or "crashed" eggs. It is a traditional dish that, of course, can not hide its Spanish origin in any way. In fact it was very common in the most humble social classes, but given its exquisiteness it soon spread to all levels.
The base of this dishes are eggs and potatoes and, if you could, meat from the pork slaughter was added to make the dish much tastier. Currently, "chistorra" (a type of red sausage) and prosciutto are usually used, and it is also usually accompanied with peppers.
Obviously, the fundamental element of the dish is the fried eggs, and although it does not look like it, this has a long history. It is believed that this custom appears at the same time that the hens begin to be domesticated, in India and in ancient Egypt.
Apparently it was the Phoenicians who made it possible to cook the first fried egg, since they traded in olive oil, then an indispensable component. Thus, it is estimated that the first fried egg was cooked by the year 1000 BC.
The first written reference on this delicacy was the Arab philosopher Averroes, who pointed out that to fry an egg well you had to use a lot of olive oil with low acidity.
In addition, we have an excellent visual reference of 1,618 thanks to our universal painter Diego Velázquez, in his work "Vieja Friendo huevos". It must have been around that time when broken eggs appeared as we know them now, thanks to the popularization of the potato that had come from America years before. But it was not until 1846 when the Hispanist Richard Ford, in his work "Gathering from Spain" already spoke of this dish as one of the most basic in the humble Spanish classes.
But this is only a theory. So, the best you can do it is to try them in El Anciano Rey de los Vinos. Here we continue making them in the traditional way. So when are you coming?

Q: Order by in a subquery Here is my query :
select count(1) into isMyCarExists
    from CAR
    where ID_MODEL = (select ID
                        from MODEL
                        where TYPE = 'SUV'
                        and rownum <= 1
                        order by DATE_UPDATE desc);

I want to count how many rows in CAR have the latest version (DATE_UPDATE desc) of the MODEL 'SUV'.
With this query, I got ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis...
I'm using Oracle Database 10.

A: Even if you fixed the query, it wouldn't do what you want.  The where is executed before the order by.
If the ids are assigned in increasing order, then this should work:
select count(*) as isMyCarExists
from car c
where id_model = (select max(id)
                  from model
                  where type = 'SUV'
                 );

Alternatively, use analytic functions:
select count(*) as isMyCarExists
from car c
where id_model = (select m.id
                  from (select m.*, row_number() over (order by date_update desc) as seqnum
                        from model m
                        where m.type = 'SUV'
                       ) m
                  where seqnum = 1
                 );

A: Forget about that error first. Your query is wrong functionally. Order by and rownum don't go together.
Since you are not on 12c, you need to have the order by first and then use where rownum = 1 in the outer query. Else, in 12c, it is quite easy using TOP-N query as fetch first 1 rows only

Litigation prompts Indiana to drop Medicaid work requirement for now
Indiana has suspended its work requirements for Medicaid enrollment, little more than a month after a lawsuit was filed challenging the rules.
As a result, enrollees who were in danger of losing their Medicaid coverage in January will retain their benefits.
However, state officials are still encouraging enrollees to submit work data so they may be connected with other programs.
Like several other red states that have permitted the expansion of Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act, Indiana has recently imposed work requirements on enrollees in what is known as the Healthy Indiana Plan. It requires Medicaid enrollees to report they are working at least 20 hours per month, or are engaged in activities such as seeking a job or job training.
However, the practice has long been criticized as a way to cut the Medicaid rolls — in part by making the reporting requirements for individual enrollees too onerous for them to maintain ongoing compliance. Indiana officials indicated the work requirements might reduce its Medicaid rolls by about 5%, or 70,000 out of a total enrollment of 1.4 million.
A recent Government Accountability Office report found the controversial requirements cost taxpayers more than $400 million and warned of lack of oversight.
That hasn't kept Trump administration officials from promoting more deregulation in the federal-state program. This week at the HTLH conference in Las Vegas, CMS Administrator Seema Verma said the agency will "soon outline new opportunities for states to flip the Medicaid paradigm and free themselves from federal micromanagement."
HHS was sued in September for allowing Indiana to obtain a work requirement waiver. Indiana's is known as the Gateway to Work initiative.
The lawsuit, Rose v. Azar, was filed in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia by the National Health Law Program and Indiana Legal Services. It accuses the Trump administration of bypassing Congress to "fundamentally transform Medicaid."
It is one of numerous pieces of litigation challenging Medicaid work requirements. Federal judges have blocked similar initiatives from being put into place in Arkansas and Kentucky. During oral arguments in October, judges with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals seemed highly skeptical of the requirements in those states
According to a statement issued by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, that agency is suspending the work requirement "to allow time for the Rose lawsuit to be resolved and so that the court can address the challenge to HIP after similar legal challenges to programs like Gateway to Work in other states have worked their way through the appeals process."
However, the agency indicated it would still encourage Medicaid enrollees to report their activities either working or seeking jobs or training so they could be connected to other related programs at the state and local levels.
"We remain committed to operating the Gateway to Work program and to continuing to build on the early successes of the program, through which HIP members are reporting successful engagements in their workplaces, schools and communities," Indiana Medicaid Director Allison Taylor said.

Beaver County Times
DA: Beaver County officer placed on leave following Industry man's death
Garret Roberts, Beaver County Times
CENTER TWP. – A Beaver County police officer is on administrative leave as state police investigate his role in the recent death of 48-year-old Ken Vinyard.
Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier said in a Thursday news release that the Center Township officer in question was placed on administrative leave shortly after the Nov. 6 incident in Center's Walmart parking lot.
The officer has yet to be publicly identified by investigators or the Center Township Police Department, but will remain on leave until the investigation is complete, Lozier said, noting the investigation is "largely complete."
Attorney Joel Sansone, who is representing Vinyard's family, says that witnesses have identified this officer as John Hawk of the Center Township Police Department. As of Friday evening, no formal charges have been filed under this name.

Investigators have not yet determined a cause and manner of death for Vinyard, Lozier said. An autopsy has been conducted, but Lozier said lab and toxicology results would not be available for "several weeks" and "do not come back for an average of six to eight weeks."
"This delay must be frustrating to the public, but this is the normal course for forensic lab results," Lozier said. "This is not television. No determination of the cause of death, or the manner of death, may be made until the investigation by the coroner is complete."
More:Family remembers Industry man allegedly killed by off-duty police officer
Witnesses say Vinyard was killed by an off-duty police officer while helping a shooting victim in the Walmart Plaza parking lot. Attorney Joel Sansone, the lawyer representing Vinyard's family, said Vinyard was killed after the plainclothes officer forced him to the ground unprompted, causing him to hit his head. He died at a Beaver County hospital shortly after.
Lozier in a statement criticized the conversation surrounding Vinyard's death, saying he wished to "re-state what has happened and what will happen."
"Sadly, in spite of releases by the Center Township Police Department, the state police, and my office, speculation has run rampant," Lozier said.
Officials from the Center Township Police Department have not commented on the incident, but released a statement that read, "The Township of Center and the Center Township Police Department offer our thoughts and prayers to the family of Kenneth Vinyard. This matter is currently being investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police."
Ken Vinyard's sisters, Debbie Little, left, and Lisa Sylvis, right, demand justice for their brother at a news conference.
In a Nov. 9 release from state police, investigators indicated an off-duty officer was in the area to respond to the shooting and used force on Vinyard. The release states that as a result of this use of force, Vinyard impacted the pavement and lost consciousness. It also states that Vinyard was treated at the scene and rushed to the hospital, where he later died.
Once a determination is made regarding Vinyard's cause of death, Lozier said the case will be handed to an "outside, objective agency" to make the determination on the use of force.
"We ask that the community be patient so that we can do this right," Lozier said. "All of Beaver County wants this process to be done carefully and for justice to be done."
Sansone commented on the update from Lozier on Friday afternoon, critical of the re-framing used on the process.
"I think that's nonsense," Sansone said. "Whether or not Mr. Vinyard died of a coronary episode or a skull fracture is irrelevant to charging this police officer. Either way, he caused whichever of those causes of death is ultimately determined to be what happened."
Sansone says that charges should be filed, no matter which agency is currently taking the lead in the investigation.
"The lab results will not change the the liability for this officer in terms of causing the death, because the ultimate cause of the death without question was officer Hawk," Sansone said. "Any further delays, in terms of a charging decision based upon that conclusion, we think are suspicious."
In addition to the county's results, Vinyard's family has ordered an independent autopsy to be conducted as well.
This is the second recent incident involving Center Township police under investigation. State police also are looking into the circumstances that led to a man apparently shooting himself to death Aug. 12 while being driven in the back of a police cruiser on Brodhead Road near Pleasant Drive.

Sydney is Australia's oldest city, the economic powerhouse of the nation and the country's capital in everything butname. This amazing city buzzes with multicultural energy and offers everything anyone could ask for in a travel destination: a staggeringly beautiful harbour spanned by an equally striking bridge (known as 'The Coathanger'), the famous Opera House, a pleasant climate, heavenly beaches and surf, plenty of great restaurants, bars and nightlife, and interesting neighbourhoods. In short, Sydney is Australia's international darling.
It is ironic that a settlement that began life as a British penal colony has been transformed in just over 200 years into one of the world's most tolerant and diverse societies, with a mix of ethnic groups contributing to the city's cultural life. Chinese newspapers, Lebanese restaurants and Greek Orthodox churches are as much a part of the city as its English and Irish traditions. Evidence of the region's original inhabitants survives in the Aboriginal stencils to be found in coastal caves, and in the indigenous names of many streets and suburbs.
The harbour divides Sydney into north and south, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Harbour Tunnel joining the two shores (the suburbs north of the bridge are known collectively as the North Shore). The city centre is roughly from Circular Quay to Central Station. To the west is Darling Harbour, while to the east lie Darlinghurst, Kings Cross and Paddington. Three kilometres further southeast, along the coast, are the ocean-beach suburbs of Bondi and Coogee.
Sydney is blessed with a balmy climate, rarely dropping below 10ºC at night, with average summer temperatures of around 25°C and over 300 sunny days a year. Summer temperatures can reach 40°C and high humidity can make it oppressive, but heavy downpours often break the heat between October and March. Winters are cool rather than cold. The weather in March-April and October-November is delightful, with clear, warm days and mild nights.
Despite Sydneysiders' fixation with waterfront properties, the city's corporate culture has always been balanced by the knowledge that the best things about life here – the beaches, the mountains, the surf and the much-loved harbour – are open to all, and are free. Along with a strong outdoor culture Sydneysiders enjoy an equally vibrant arts culture, with an impressive array of world-class galleries, a thriving theatre and dance scene and, of course, the Sydney Opera House – the heart of performance in Australia. While it's the opera that really shines here, you can also witness theatre, comedy, music, dance and ballet. While Sydney doesn't have as dynamic a music scene as Melbourne, you can still find live music most nights of the week.
There's some seriously stunning stuff to see in Sydney; just walking around all day being amazed by the beauty of the city's harbour, dramatic cliffs and stunning beaches would be entertaining enough. You'll never run out of things to see and do in this superb city, but here are a few ideas to get you started.
Photograph, walk or best of all climb Sydney Harbour Bridge, one of Australia's most imposing and iconic sights. If you're low on money, check out the spectacular view from the Pylon Lookout, or, if money's not such an issue, you must do the once-in-a-lifetime BridgeClimb.
Surf, swim, sunbathe or spectate at Bondi Beach (Campbell Pde), Sydney's most popular sweep of sand. It's also well worth taking the two-hour coastal walk from Bondi Golf Course to Coogee Beach, especially for the Aboriginal rock engravings. If you prefer less-populated beaches, try one of the many fabulous northern ones, such as Bilgola, Palm Beach or Whale Beach.
Take a scenic ferry ride to Watsons Bay and head to Doyles Palace Hotel for the time-honoured tradition of a beer in the beer garden, while enjoying the fabulous view of Sydney Harbour.
Discover the richness of Australian marine life at the magnificent Sydney Aquarium, with its three 'oceanariums' moored in the harbour and transparent underwater tunnels.
Go shopping! The hub of city shopping is Pitt St Mall, but it's much more relaxing to shop for fashion on popular innercity strips such as Oxford St, Paddington; for furnishings and antiques on Queen St, Woollahra; for CDs around Crown St, Surry Hills; and for souvenirs at Paddy's Markets in Chinatown.
Sydney loves a party, and any excuse will do. The city has plenty of festivals and special goings-on year-round. Following is a small sample; for more, visitor information centres will be able to advise you what's on when you're in town.
Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras – This world-famous, month-long festival, held from February to early March, includes a sports carnival, the Blessing of the Mardi Gras, theatre performances, a film festival and much more. It ends with an amazing parade (first Saturday in March) and the Mardi Gras Party.
City to Surf Run – On the second Sunday in August more than 50,000 runners pound the 14km from Park St in the city centre to Bondi Beach; some take it seriously, while others dress up in costumes and are just in it for fun.
Festival of the Winds – Held on the second Sunday in September at Bondi Beach, this kite-flying festival with a multicultural theme includes competitions for the best home-made kites and music and dance performances.
Sculpture By the Sea – This free outdoor sculpture exhibition utilises one of Sydney's greatest natural settings, the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk, to display stunning artworks from local and international artists.
Sydney Hobart Yacht Race – On 26 December, Sydney Harbour is a sight to behold as hundreds of boats crowd its waters to farewell the yachts competing in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.


You will no doubt have checked your car over before heading out on any kind of long trip but unfortunately things can and do go wrong and when they do it can be a real lifesaver if you have the right tools to hand.
Breaking down is never fun but if you have a few key essential tools with you, it can make all the difference between fixing the car up enough to get it to a garage, and having to sit for hours by the side of the road.
This is a small tool which was created in the Netherlands and can facilitate escape from a car in the event of a crash. It is small and portable so can be mounted anywhere in the car using tape or Velcro.
This multi-purpose tool can be used to cut through a seat belt or to smash a window, to help you and passengers get out of a car if it has been damaged or even overturned following an accident.
You can mount it somewhere visible but it also has a glow in the dark feature helping you to find it no matter what the circumstances might be.
This was recommended to us by Darren at Big Motoring World and is a fantastic tool – you just need one wrench but it is capable of working with many varieties of nuts and bolts of different sizes so perfect for working on a car. It's also quite compact, only around 10 inches long, so easy and convenient to keep in your car.
If you need to change a tyre urgently or undo any other nuts and bolts following damage to the car, this is an ideal tool to have in the back of the car just in case. It's much easier to carry one of these around than a full toolkit.
Much stronger than a rope, a two strap is made of webbing and double-stitched for extra durability. One of these can be up to 30 feet in length and capable of pulling around 30,000 pounds in weight.
A tow strap can be used for towing but also if you need to pull something heavy out of the way, for example, a fallen branch blocking the road and it will hold enough to pull your vehicle out of a difficult situation if you need it.
Having a portable battery charger with you, which doesn't take hours to charge your car, can be a life saver, helping you to boost the battery and at least get you enough juice to get to a garage to change the battery if it has died.
A multi-tool or Swiss army knife is the perfect tool to have in the car for any kind of emergency situation, or even if you are heading off into the great outdoors for a spot of family camping!
This tool can strip wires, bend into shape, cut plastic and open bottles. It contains pliers, scissors, screwdriver, wire cutters and knives so can come in incredibly handy for many situations involving your car.
As an extra tool which is always handy just in case of a puncture or other tyre damage, a tyre repair kit and portable tyre inflator are really handy tools to have in the car. These will enable you to get your tyre into a position that you can get the car to the nearest garage potentially, particularly if you can't use the spare for any reason.
Driving should be a fun activity but when your car breaks down, or worse, you are involved in an accident, it can be a frightening and worrying time, particularly if you find yourself alone and at night.
However, by having these five handy tools in your car, you will have a much better chance of being able to get out of a damaged car, or of repairing damaged tyres and other problems so that you can get your car across to the nearest garage for a full repair.
There are many other useful things to take with you, particularly on a long drive, but these five tools could make a big difference.

Sports > Football > College Football Coaches in High School
College Football Coaches in High School
By Howard Foxx on December 11th, 2012
Being able to relate to a high school age kid is a major part of being a successful college football coach. Coaches spend much of their time away from the field talking to high school players and their parents, trying to convince them to come play for them. At the same time, it's hard to imagine those same coaches, with their outsized egos and big paychecks, as high school players themselves. The folks over at USA Today's High School Sports page have made it so no imagination is necessary, putting together a gallery of pictures of some of the biggest names in college football as teenagers. We've selected our five favorites, to see more visit the full gallery.
5. Bill Snyder
We love this picture for two reasons: First, we are thrilled to have photographic evidence that Snyder, the Kansas State coach, was actually young once, and second, he has a little "Al Bundy at Polk High" look to him.
4. Dabo Swinney
Dabo Swinney already is considered one of the coolest coaches in college football, and this picture does nothing to hurt that reputation. Swinney, the coach of the Clemson Tigers, looks like he is ready to hang out with Zack Morris, AC Slater and the rest of the cool kids at Bayside High.
3. Mike Gundy
Mike Gundy, the Oklahoma State boss, made national headlines five years ago for challenging a reporter, yelling "I'm a man, I'm 40". It's nice to look back and see a time when he was still a teen, and we can understand why he was standing up for his beleaguered player.
2. Frank Solich
Everything about Solich's picture just screams "nerd", from the narrow little bow tie to his list of activities, which includes Glee Club, Mechanican Drawing Club and his perfect attendance award. We would never dare to say that to the face of the current Ohio and former Nebraska coach, though.
1. Les Miles
The Mad Hatter of college football, even Les Miles wouldn't want pictures of himself in a singlet getting out. We imagine that this picture will be posted on every SEC message board within 24 hours.


Netflix made a huge impact on the TV landscape with its landmark show "House of Cards". Their agency, Omelet, devised a unique way to put the show front and center at live events, creating an actual voting booth kiosk as part of the marketing efforts. "Voters" entered the booth and saw a variety of top shows to choose from to cast a virtual and fake Emmy ballot. Animax developed the kiosk's interactive elements in HTML5.


Here we go with a better look at The Surge just before the big showcasing that is slated for next week. Well at least a better view at the general story that is being set up here by Deck 13 as this seems to be a bit more of a cinematic trailer than anything that shows off some new gameplay. Seeing as story is an important role in an action-RPG, I guess it is good that The Surge is looking to have a solid one for us to explore and in turn survive. Dystopian futures are some of the worst ones out there and we all may need a bit more training on this as of now so I guess it's good that it will be here in May for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC for us all to ingest.
As it look, in The Surge we are playing a guy who happens to have had the worst first day of work ever. He's just going about the normal routine of getting his company mandated exo-suit grafted to his flesh and bones and wouldn't you know it, a catastrophic event happens and things go insanely wrong from there. Sure he's a bit stronger and faster but at what cost as now all of the robots and other employees in the build have all gone crazy and are out to end him. That is more or less the gist of what The Surge will have in store for us from the trailer and its subsequent explanation. Although my version sounds a bit more comedic than the seriousness that I am sure the team is going for.
Freshly recruited as an augmented worker at CREO, Warren's first day coincides with a catastrophic event during the routine surgical operation meant to graft — through flesh and bone — employee exo-suits. This marks the first in a series of brutal events, turning this first day at CREO into a hellish nightmare of robots gone haywire, crazed employees with fried cranial implants, and artificial intelligence who all want Warren dead.
Now equipped with a state-of-the-art exoskeleton, you'll have to improvise in order to survive — tools manipulated by CREO workers, while not originally meant for combat, make for effective lethal weapons. The equipment pieces compatible with your exo-suit will make you faster, stronger, and sturdier. During battle, target your enemies' limbs, slice them, and retrieve the attached equipment to improve and power-up your own suit — allowing you to delve deeper in the CREO complex and attempt to put an end to the madness initiated by The Surge.
So far the story for The Surge sounds rather interesting here. The recent gameplay we saw from the alpha build kind of left things a bit more wanting in my book but that is the great part of early gameplay; it can and will hopefully change. May isn't that far off so that does raise a few concerns out there, but maybe next week we will see a version of The Surge from Deck 13 that will live up to this rather cool story that they are weaving here. A gamer can hope and that is just what I am doing until I see otherwise here. Please don't show me otherwise though as I still have the hopes for The Surge as of now.
So what do you think about the story of The Surge as it stands right now? Do you think it is an interesting idea or something that you will most likely be passing on? Do you think that we will get to see some gameplay that will redeem what we had before so that we can play this story as I hope the developers wish us to or will it just be about the same? Let us know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss how you wish. As we get more on The Surge we will have it up on the site for you. Be sure to keep checking back in to make sure you are able to keep completely up to date on all of it as it comes.


Larder is speedy bookmarking for developers. GitHub stars synced as bookmarks, mobile apps, and extensions for all major browsers. Sign up for free because it's honestly really good.
If you're using Auto Layout to write layouts in code for iOS, it can easily get tedious and verbose. DSLs (domain-specific languages) wrap the underlying APIs to make it easier and faster to read and write code. There are plenty of these for Auto Layout, and even a couple that support manual frame layouts, too.
Here are some I've come across that I've added to my Larder (don't forget you can star repos on GitHub and have them automatically sync to your Larder account).
I've been using SnapKit for a while now, and Masonry before that. SnapKit is the Swift successor to Masonry, but both worth with similar ideas.
One thing I love about SnapKit is that you can chain .labeled() to give your constraint a name, which will show up in Xcode when your constraint conflict. It helps enormously to figure out which constraints are the problem and get your layouts working, but you don't need to create a reference to each constraint in order to give it an identifying label.
EasyPeasy offers a nice way to add multiple constraints to a view at once. With SnapKit, you can constrain different aspects of your view in the same way, e.g.: view.leading.trailing.equalToSuperview() but you can't chain together constraints for leading and trailing that are different.
On iOS, you can also access context about the UITraitCollection of the view you're constraining, in order to adjust your layouts more easily for different devices and orientations.
Stevia is part of freshOS, a project to bring together a set of libraries for iOS developers to use in their projects. While Stevia has some similar ideas to SnapKit, there are a few differences that make it really intriguing.
With a little set up, you can also get live reloading working with Stevia, to make development a lot faster.
Unlike SnapKit and Stevia, Mortar doesn't offer chaining at all. It's a highly opinionated library that purposely avoids chaining to improve readability.
Like Stevia, however, it does offer a visual layout API, as well as very concise syntax for creating Auto Layout constraints in code.
I'm a bit turned off by the heavy use of symbols in Mortar, but it does make the syntax extremely concise. I imagine once you get your head around the syntax, it could be a lot faster and easier to read and write constraints in Mortar. It's also nice that Mortar doesn't leave out constraint attributes that some of these other libraries don't support, such as firstBaseline.
While Bamboo seems similar to the other options I've mentioned, it does have some unique aspects that make it worth exploring. One thing I love about Bamboo is its fill methods. For starters, you can simply call fill() to pin all the edges of a view to its superview. But you can also call, for example, fillLeft() to pin the left, top, and bottom edges of a view to its superview, or fillWidth() to pin the leading and trailing edges.
Another set of methods I love are before(), after(), above(), and below(). I often think about positioning my views in this way, so it's nice to be able to express my constraints in code that matches my thought process. Each of these methods takes an optional spacing argument, so you can easily lay out a view after another one, with spacing between.
// Constrain on each item.
// e.g., Set each item's width to 10.
// Constrain between every two items.
And finally, Bamboo also offers similar syntax for handling manual frame layouts, for those times when Auto Layout won't do the job.
There are some other Auto Layout DSLs I came across but didn't add to my Larder or include here. Mostly this is because they're either old and not actively maintained, or they're very simple and didn't seem to offer anything particularly unique. That doesn't mean they're not useful, but I was looking for what's most interesting and unique about these different approaches to Auto Layout sugar.
Hopefully you'll find something new to try out from this list! If you think I've missed a library that's worth exploring, please share it with us on Twitter at @LarderApp.

Russia Plans To Continue With International Currency Intervention, Wants To Continue Selling Yuan In 2023
Bennie Kincaid January 14, 2023 3 min read
Russia has recently made an announcement about its plans for currency intervention. The country has made it clear that they have the intention of causing international currency intervention.
For this purpose, the country will continue selling international currencies in the open market to bring the values of the currencies lower.
The country wants to deal with the economic and financial crisis that it is reportedly facing due to the growing sanctions.
Russia Wants to Keep Selling Yuan
The Russian government has announced that they have been dealing heavily with the Chinese yuan. Therefore, their plans are to sell as much Chinese yuan in the market to cause an intervention.
According to the Russian capital, their entire goal is to make sure that they are able to deal with the Western sanctions. For this purpose, they are aiming for higher economic stability.
The west is constantly tightening its net around Russia with the sanctions. They are tightening their grip on the Russian markets and all the sectors where the country excels, as they want to cripple it.
However, Russia is allied with some of the world's most powerful countries. Therefore, it is not easy for the West to take down Russia as easily as they had anticipated.
The sanctions are being imposed on Russia because of the ongoing war the country with Ukraine. These are the strictest sanctions the Western block has launched against any nation ever.
Still, Russia is able to hold its own against the sanctions and it seems that the country is doing quite well. The country's economy is proving to be very strong and resilient against Western pressure.
The strongest Partnership is Being Formed
It is a fact that Russia and China have two major rivals where the first one is none other than the United States and the second one in Europe.
Both countries have joined hands against the West and they are ready to do whatever they can to help each other out.
Russia's President, Vladimir Putin has recently announced that they are going to form a strong partnership with China. Their partnership will have no limit and is going to stay permanent.
Both Russia and China are touting their partnership and that has the entire West extremely worried.
China has taken its partnership with Russia to another level as it has sent students to Russian universities. This way, Russia is never going to feel that it is being cut off from the entire world.
Russia is also taking things further as it has started to put signs in its jurisdictions, especially at the tourist spots that are in Mandarin.
Russia Plans to Sell Roubles as Well
In addition to selling the Chinese yuan, Russia is also planning to sell the Russian rouble in the market.
The Finance Ministry of Russia has announced that they are planning to 54.5 billion roubles in the open market. At the time of writing, the particular figure translates to $798 million.
The country has announced that they have planned on doing this because of the low revenues they are expecting to generate from gas and oil.
The Chinese Yuan is Growing Bigger in Russia
For a long time, Russian soil had to accept the US dollar as the most powerful currency. The US dollar gained power in Russia after the Soviet Union's collapse, and it was hailed as the king of the country.
However, Russia is now changing its strategy toward the adoption of the dollar. Given the current circumstances, the country is well aware it cannot compete with the USD.
As the Chinese yuan has a strong chance of winning against the dollar, Russia has decided that it is going to provide full support to the Chinese currency.
The yuan is now becoming a major player in the Moscow markets and the economy. Russia may be able to make the yuan, the largest reserve currency in the entire world, and the year 2023 is the best opportunity.

In the late afternoon you will meet our staff members who will brief you on your trip (in Italian, German, French or English). Then we recommend a short walking tour in the old town of Lecce, the 'Florence of the South'. You will fall in love with its Spanish baroque style and its Roman ruins.
Once you arrive at the bridge of Ciolo, here begins the footpath of the Cipolliane that winds through walls and terraces and a constantly exciting sea view. The vegetation is a mixture of huge 'fichi d'india' (prickly pears), imposing agaves and capers. We will see the stones polished by time, air and salt, which form the unusual but always harmonious shapes of the walls constructed to protect the small fields from the strength of the sea and the wind. We will visit the caves of the Cipolliane, an interesting complex of caves where you can admire stalactites and columns, tunnels and fossils, and birds colonies.
This day is dedicated to the discovery of the small treasures of the Cape of Leuca and the beautiful city of Gallipoli. Firstly you will cross ancient paths that connect the small villages. The first stop is Patù with its 'Centopietre', an enigmatic monument created with a funerary function and then used as a religious chapel (traces of Byzantine frescoes are visible).
From the old town of Nardò you will walk through ancient cuttings between dry stone walls and olive groves and at the base of the slope of the Alto promontory where, on the upper plateau, you'll find the Tower of Santa Maria dell'Alto whose construction dates back to 1568.
You will visit the town wandering through the streets of the center until you reach the magnificent Basilica of St. Catherine of Alexandria where you can admire the many frescoes of Giotto's influence.

CBIC for physical verification of entities to check invoicing fraud in India
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) proposes to carry out physical verification of the entities that have been granted a deemed GST registration sans Aadhaar authentication in a bid to counter fake invoice frauds.
The department of revenue (DoR) in the Finance Ministry had come out with Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 'instructions' to be followed by the tax officers for carrying out the physical verification of entities that will be required in order to ensure authenticity.
The SoP has been finalised as part of the strategy to counter GST fake invoice frauds via search and surveys leading to arrests and booking of cases against fake entities involved in availing and passing on input tax credit (ITC) fraudulently.
CBIC sources said that this SOP would effectively curb the fake invoices menace and ITC frauds while at the same time this would ensure proper facilitation of ease of doing business for the genuine applicants/entities without any overreach. This is the further follow up of the high level review meeting that was held in DoR recently.
Meanwhile, according to the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) sources, the DGGI and CGST Commissionerates have so far arrested 92 persons for availing or passing on ineligible ITC fraudulently through fake invoices and have booked 994 cases against more than 3161 fake GSTIN entities identified across the country during its ongoing nationwide drive launched in the second week of November against GST fake invoice frauds.
CBIC Sources in the know of the matter said that an entity having deemed registration where the applicant either has not opted for Aadhaar authentication or where such authentication has failed, has to go for mandatory physical verification of the premises, or in cases where the physical verification is difficult, certain additional documents may be called for verification by the tax officer (upon approval of an officer not below the rank of Joint Commissioner) before deciding upon grant of registration.
According to CBIC Sources, the Board in an "Instruction" to its field formations has said that the registrations granted sans Aadhaar authentication during the period from August 21 to November 16 on deemed basis require verifications to ascertain that they have genuine business or intends to carry out so. All such deemed registrations would be subjected to compulsory post registration verification and the list of such deemed registrations would be circulated zone wise to the field formations for confirmation which has to be completed in a time bound manner within three weeks and a weekly status report has to be submitted to the Board.
Sources said that pending the physical verification, notice in FORM REG-17 may be issued in specific cases based by the proper officer on certain risk parameters seeking explanation from the registered person regarding the differences and anomalies noticed, if any, where FORM GSTR-1 is filed and FORM GSTR-3B is not filed either for August or September, 2020 tax period and where the difference in tax amount, as reported in FORM GSTR-1 and FORM GSTR-3B is more than INR one lakh (US$1358).
On receipt of the reply to the notice, the proper officer would complete the proceedings as per the CGST Rules. Also, in the interest of revenue, the tax officer in addition to the physical verification may further carry out the preliminary financial verification of the registrants by seeking certain documents.

Interview with DJ Pain 1 [Podcast]
DJ Pain 1 is a prominent hip-hop producer, and over the years he's worked with names you know like Young Jeezy, Public Enemy and Ludacris. He's also a Madison local and active community member who volunteers for non-profits. We had the great pleasure of having him here at the Murfie office recently.
In this interview, he brings up some important topics—like the pressure that Madison police put on venues that try to book hip-hop shows. Unfortunately, the lack of hip-hop in Madison makes it hard for talented acts to really blossom in town. What you might not know about DJ Pain 1 is that his real name is Pacal Bayley. He's a true lover of all dedicated musicians, a physical music collector, and a mushroom hunter—although he'll never tell you where he finds morels.
Now, I don't want to give away all the best parts. Here's a transcript of our interview along with the recorded version (below) on our Soundcloud player.
Note: This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Who: DJ Pain 1; interviewed by Kayla Liederbach
Where: Murfie HQ, Madison, WI
When: Wednesday July 1st, 2015
K: So I am currently in one of the Murfie warehouse rooms surrounded by discs with DJ Pain 1. Welcome to the office, first of all.
DJ: This is kind of surreal.
K: It is. Being surrounded by so much music kind of makes you think about all the albums that have come out over the years.
DJ: Well all I see is boxes, so I'm just smelling cardboard—and there are all these boxes with numbers written on all of them. It's like musical coffins or something.
K: That's one way to think about it, for the people who store their CDs here. We do have people who get their CDs digitized and shipped back to them. But I suppose it is a good resting place, and these boxes are actually like water resistant and temperature—
DJ: Oh they are?
K: Yeah we make sure everything stays nice and cozy in there. But you know there are a lot of things to talk about in music, especially someone like you who is involved on all these different levels. So over the years as you've gained all your experience, the music industry has changed a lot, especially recently, in terms of the way people listen to music, and the way it's being released. So in your opinion, is the music industry changing for better or for worse?
DJ: I think it's always a duality. I think access is a good thing, and access has been improving for decades now. And so what access begets is saturation. And of course it changes the landscape as far as fans are concerned and their expectations of artists. They expect a lot of music, and they expect instant access, and they expect free most of all. And so that's not necessary a bad thing, because it's forced artists to really adapt in new and innovative ways, whether it's just challenging the traditions of a genre or finding new and exciting ways to market and promote themselves. So, it's good for some and bad for others, I guess that's a subjective question. And I don't necessarily know, because I'm benefiting a lot from it—but then on a macro level the music industry is just kind of crumbling before my very eyes. At first that kind of scared me, but now I'm just sitting there looking at my watch waiting for it to happen, because I kind of can't stand the paradigm. But it also every now and then lets me in through a door, and then I make some money and get some notoriety off it.
K: Well I like what you said about finding ways to adapt that are new and interesting. I feel like that's gonna be the differentiator between people who succeed regardless of how the music industry ends up being. So what are some of the best ways that you've learned to connect with your audience and make a living?
DJ: I give a lot of stuff away for free. And maybe the ratio is somewhere around 10:1 or 15:1. 15 being what I give away and 1 being what I sell. It gives me more leverage for the people that are following me and benefiting from the resources I give out. So I don't know if it works, but it's worked for me in some capacity, so I'm going to keep doing it.
K: Well especially if your music is good and people like it.
DJ: Yeah with me I really speak more to the producer community, so: free resources for producers, a lot of video advice for just aspiring artists of all kinds, and streaming Q&A shows, panels, the professional development stuff that we do locally here. I've done it around the country too a little.
K: So you've seen Madison's music scene, and you've also traveled to different places. How does Madison's music scene compare to other places?
DJ: That goes back to the word access. I'm gonna use Appleton as an example just because it's so close and it's so much smaller than Madison. I mean, their population is a lot smaller than Madison's. You know alone we have 40,000+ just students, just like a transient population, but Appleton has more venues, more music events going on concurrently, more music festivals, and just it seems that there's more access. And I know that things have changed maybe in the last year or two, but when I go there it appears to me that they have more going on. When you come to Madison there are very few options as far as live music goes, and especially if you're a fan of what people would consider—quote urban unquote—styles of music. That's unfortunate. Because I mean the talent here isn't any less amazing. And I've been all over the place and we have great talent here. But I think access and opportunity not only allows for sustainability, but it also promotes talent too, and growth too. I mean people feel boxed in here, so I don't think we're all growing as much as we could be.
K: You know, when you say that, I do realize I haven't seen a lot of hip-hop and rap shows being promoted.
DJ: No they're all banned, it's banned. Name a venue and I'm probably banned from it.
K: Really! Majestic? Frequency?

Ownership Matters: Grooveshark has shut down
Grooveshark is the latest of controversial music services to shut down. They were amidst legal battles over licensing deals with rights holders at the time.
This shutdown was a long time coming. Grooveshark posted on their website, saying, "We started out nearly ten years ago with the goal of helping fans share and discover music. But despite the best of intentions, we made very serious mistakes. We failed to secure licenses from rights holders for the vast amount of music on the service. That was wrong. We apologize. Without reservation."
The people at Grooveshark also encouraged music fans to use a licensed service. Fans have voiced opinions online, including Reddit, expressing disappointment at the loss of their carefully curated playlists.
"Welp, there goes 5 years worth of playlists," said one user.
It's important to know you're gambling with time, energy, and often money when you use a service that's not tied to ownership. Streaming services in particular can and regularly do shut down and disappear, leaving you with nothing but fond memories.
The alternative is to invest time, energy, and money into collecting music that you truly own, where you won't need to worry about it going away in an instant. It will forever be yours.
You also don't need to decide between owning physical music (CDs and vinyl) and streaming music—what we've been doing at Murfie for years has proved that's a false choice. The streams and downloads you receive from us are tied to CDs and vinyl that belong to you, and you alone—remaining unaffected by any terms of our service.

As we figured, The Walking Dead will continue on for another season. The show has been renewed for season 10. Check out the official announcement from AMC below. It begins in October. Meantime, the mid-season premiere of the show (conclusion of Season 9) starts this Sunday night!


Imagine a world where your home, once shrouded in darkness, is lit by an artificial sun.
The view from the mountains of southern Norway, towering over six thousand feet, is spectacular – a must-see for hikers and skiers.
But for half the year, more than three thousand residents down below in the town of Rjukan are starved for sunlight, forced to take a cable car up the slopes just to catch some rays and vitamin D.
Three giant mirrors have been installed on the mountainside, equipped with sensors that follow the sun, re-directing a beam of light down to the town square and creating an artificial glow to warm the long winter season.
The idea for the mirrors is 100 years old, but the technology that guides their movement didn't exist until now.
A similar project, which brought light to a village in northern Italy, inspired the effort.
In Norwegian folklore, the mountains are home to trolls who dwell in darkness and prey on people, but sunlight turns the trolls to stone.
In one Norwegian town, it also turns hopeful faces to the sky, where winter has finally lost its gloom.
This is awesome. God created us and gave us the ability to create things. God bless the brain that thought this out. Wonders will continue to exist for as long as God exists.
Life is what we make out of it Kudos to them who reason positively to bring good things to their society, God bless them.
Gratulerer Rukan..fantastisk...Hilsen fra Cuernavaca, Mexico hvor vi har mer en 320 solfylte dager i året.
Fantastic idea, leave it up to the Norwegians to figure this out!!
God gaves us the ability to think and to perform the good things we thought is for the good of the people. God made the world because He sees that it is good. Let us always do the things that is good. The Norwegians just made the right choice because it is only for their own benefits. But what is amazing is that they are able to produce an atificial sunlight just to warm them up. Awesome ability, seriously.

De Anza women's badminton team look forward to the upcoming season as they aim for the top2 min read
Anthony Lucido
Women's badminton head coach Mark Landefeld talks with team.
Anthony Lucido, Staff Reporter
The De Anza women's badminton team participated in a scrimmage against Foothill College on Friday, Feb. 7, as they prepare for the start of the new season.
Friday's gym was filled with fun and enjoyment as both teams were talking with each other, laughing with each other, and just trying to have a good time as the season is beginning.
Elle Wu, 19, English major said she is excited for the trips to tournaments this season.
"I am excited to spend more time with my teammates and for team bonding together," said Wu.
Despite the cheery atmosphere at the scrimmage, head coach Mark Landefeld said the mindset this season is to compete.
"It means that we want to make sure we're consciously trying a strategy each match, that we're not just returning the shuttle that we have places we want to hit on the court," said Landefeld. "We've got weaknesses we want to recognize and want to exploit which takes a certain amount of composure to do that while you're playing the game."
In the previous season, De Anza's women's badminton team placed second in the state, losing only to Fresno City College.
"We lost to them twice so you know we knew we're the second best team in the state last year. Now we want to try and knock off the top," said Landefeld.
Cindy Ha, 21, communications major, shared this same competitive mindset.
"I want to go far into the states this season," said Ha. "We will have to train hard, do better, and stay strong mentally and physically."
Ha said she worked on her endurance to prepare for this season by running a lot more.
Coach Landefeld attests to all of the player's readiness for the season.
"I'm excited because we have a very deep team and that means that when we train against each other, sometimes those matches are tougher than some of those of our opponents," said Landefeld.
De Anza's first go at an official competition will take place on Friday, March 21 at the Grossmont Tournament in El Cajon.

Court orders Kogi govt. to reinstate 170 workers
The National Industrial Court, on Friday in Abuja, ordered the reinstatement of 170 workers of Kogi state government.
The claimants had joined the state governor and Attorney-General as co-respondents in their suit.
Justice Edith Agbakoba held that provisions of the law guiding and regulating the termination of employment in the civil service were not complied with in the dismissal of the claimants.
Ms Agbakoba also said: "The employment of the claimants are statutory in nature and can only be terminated in accordance with the law which was not followed in this case.''
The judge, therefore, ordered that the claimants be reinstated to their various positions.
She also awarded N500, 000 as cost of the suit to be paid by the Kogi government.
The judge said 30 days from the day of the judgment, failure to pay the fine would attract a 10 per cent interest rate annually.
The claimants from different ministries had instituted the suit in 2013 seeking a declaration that their employment with the government was valid and still subsisting.
They also sought an order of the court directing the government to pay their outstanding salaries, allowances and benefits from May 2009 when their employment was terminated.
The claimant's counsel, Shuaibu Aruwa, had earlier told the court that his clients' employment was purportedly terminated in 2009 during the administration Gov. Ibrahim Wada.
Mr Aruwa said his clients were wrongfully dismissed without due process after a screening exercise carried out by a private firm on behalf of the government.
He said besides his clients' request for reinstatement, they were also seeking an order directing the defendants to pay the N100 million as damages and N10 million as cost of the suit.
The defence counsel, Philip Abalaka, in his submission, said the claimants were ghost workers that did not do proper documentation during the screening exercise.

"Political Correctness": One of the threats to the Brazilian democracy
Published on www.votebrasil.com.br and midiasemmascara.org sites.*
Translated from portuguese by the author with the help from Pedro Mallmann
"New Year, New life", is one of the popular sayings this time of the year, but it could as well turn out to be true in this very year of 2006.
So many analyses have been made on the possible outcomes of the political events of the year - the implosion - "from the inside" – of what used to be known as the "historical struggles" of the Workers' Party (ethics, truthfulness, struggle against corruption and poverty) and the surprising result of the referendum on the ban on arms sales in Brazil. Some of the analyses pointed out the latter as some kind of a plebiscite on the government, unveiling the rejection of the speech of the winning party, the very speech with which they won the 2002 elections. But it only points out a rejection in political-partisan terms.
This is a partial view of the events. In reality, the defeat of the "Yes" in the referendum was a clue that a much bigger chain - bigger than political-partisan choices - was defeated. This chain is ' the politically correct ' thought.
The "politically correct" can be defined as a type of ' wishful-thinking' that is self-achieved through the mantric repetition of words of order. These words are carefully chosen to define the reality in a differentiated manner, thus having the power of modifying the way people think about it, and ending by modifying reality itself. The basic premise is that 'reality' is subjective in essence, therefore being an exclusively personal good. By modifying this personal vision of reality through the Pavlovian conditioning of repetition, reality will be finally modified. Therefore reality is just a set of personal realities.
Initially received as a pseudo-intellectualized extravagance, it went on – by the means of a very careful dissemination plan by the 'cultural elite' – contaminating all environments it got in touch with. Its emergence to political campaign speeches and to the country's largest newspaper leads was the sign of the victory of political correctness in the market of ideas 'that sell'. From this point on - defined temporally in the 90's – there were no political speeches or political news left without incorporating the flavor of political correctness; if not political correctness itself incorporating the speeches.
All political parties were misled by 'political correctness'. They all started to sound and to act as 'pc'. From right-wing to leftist parties, they all missed the point on the real nature of 'pc'. The result was that we came to a point that all parties lost their identity, as far as the public is concerned.
The lack of parties with electoral "persona" had its pinnacle in the presidential election of 2002, where all options seemed absolutely the same, and leaving it up to the electorate to choose between neckties, suits and hairdos. The apparent convergence of thought was so evident that all the 'adversaries' of 2002 ended up forming the support base of the new government in 2003. This lack of political identity caused by the overwhelming success of politically correct is a threat to the Brazilian democracy. The lack of a broad range of political-partisan options is a mistake that has to be corrected. When I mention political-partisan options, I do not refer to the number of parties - which I consider excessive in Brazil - but to their political colors.
The conclusion is that, by means of the politically correct speech, political parties in Brazil were transformed into uncolored, odorless jelly of slogans totally detached from the voters' real world. The result of the referendum on the ban of arms sales was a clear sign to the political class for them to avoid the excess of politically correct speech and pay more attention to the real world.
In spite of the apparent popular support to the political correctness, the formula seems worn out. The adorned speech, full of good intentions, disclosed its major victim after all: the political class. The witchcraft struck back against the wizard. The public perceived that, behind the good intentions, the real intention could be very diverse, in terms of a Brazilian new edition of Orwell's doublethink. The overwhelming victory of the 'NO' vote in the referendum was a good expression of the exhaustion of "PC". Never have emotional appeals had so little attention. And never have words like 'individual rights' and 'freedom of choice' been so much debated in this country.
I hope this is the symbol of a new stage of Brazilian democracy. I anxiously look forward to the next chapters.

Q: using paste command in a loop I am using Fedora, and bash to do some text manipulation with the files I have. I am trying to combine a large number of files, each one with two columns of data. From these files, I want to extract the data on the 2nd column of the files, and put it in a single file. Previously, I used the following script:
paste 0_0.dat 0_6.dat 0_12.dat | awk '{print $1, $2, $4}' >0.dat

But this is painfully hard as the number of files gets larger -- trying to do with 100 files. So I looked through the web to see if there's a way to achieve this in a simple way, but come up empty-handed.
I'd like to invoke a 'for' loop, if possible -- for example,
for i in $(seq 0 6 600)
do
  paste 0_0.dat | awk '{print $2}'>>0.dat
done

but this does not work, of course, with paste command.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations on how to do what I'm trying to do ...
DATA FILE #1 looks like below (deliminated by a space)

Thanks,

A: join can get you your desired result.
join <(sort -r file1) <(sort -r file2)

Test:

To do multiple files at once, you can use it with find command -
find . -type f -name "file*" -exec join '{}' +

A: Based on my assumptions that you see in the comments above, you don't need paste. Try this
awk '{
  arr[$1] = arr[$1] "\t" $2 };
  END {for (x=-180;x<=180;x++) print  x "\t" arr[x]
 }' *.txt \
| sort -n

Note that we just take all of the values into an array based on the value in the first field, and append values based on the $1 key. After all data has been read in, The END section prints out the key and the value. I've added things like "x=", ":vals= " to help 'explain' what is happening. Remove those for completely clean tab-seperated data. Change '\t' to ':' or '|', or ... shudder ',' if  you need to. Change the *.txt to what every your filespec is.
Be aware that all Unix command lines have limitations to the number and size (length of filenames, not the data inside), of filenames that can be processed in 1 invocation.  Let us know if you get error messages about that.
The pipe to sort ensures that data is sorted by column1.
With my test data, the output was
-178            0.0001892261    0.0001892262    0.0001892263    0.000189226

Based on 4 files of input.
I hope this helps.
P.S. Welcome to StackOverflow (S.O.) Please remeber to read the FAQs, http://tinyurl.com/2vycnvr , vote for good Q/A  by using the gray triangles,  http://i.imgur.com/kygEP.png , and to accept the answer that bes solves your problem, if any, by pressing the checkmark sign , http://i.imgur.com/uqJeW.png

A: How about this:
paste "$@" | awk '{ printf("%s", $1);
for (i = 2; i < NF; i += 2)
       printf(" %s", $i); printf "\n";
}'

This assumes that you don't run into a limit with paste (check how many open files it can have).  The "$@" notation means 'all the arguments given, exactly as given'. The awk script simply prints $1 from each line of pasted output, followed by the even-numbered columns; followed by a newline.  It doesn't validate that the odd-numbered columns all match; it would perhaps be sensible to do so, and you could code a vaguely similar loop to do so in awk.  It also doesn't check that the number of fields on this line is the same as the number on the previous line; that's another reasonable check.  But this does do the whole job in one pass over all the files - for an essentially arbitrary list of files.

I have 100 input files -- how do I use this code to open up these files?

You put my original answer in a script 'filter-data'; you invoke the script with the 101 file names generated by seq.  The paste command pastes all 101 files together; the awk command selects the columns you are interested in.
filter-data $(seq --format="0_%g.dat" 0 6 600)

The seq command with the format will list you 101 file names; these are the 101 files that will be pasted.
You could even do without the filter-data script:
paste $(seq --format="0_%g.dat" 0 6 600) | awk '{ printf("%s", $1);
for (i = 2; i < NF; i += 2)
printf(" %s", $i); printf "\n";
}'

I'd probably go with the more general script as the main script, and if need be I'd create a 'one-liner' that invokes the main script with the specific set of arguments currently of interest.
The other key point which might be a stumbling block: paste is not limited to 2 files only; it can paste as many files as you can have open (give or take about 3).

A: This might work for you:
echo *.dat | sed 's/\S*/<(cut -f2 &)/2g;s/^/paste /' | bash >all.dat


tendency, and their bearing God; and the ardent expansion of themselves for the Divine receptions.
And now I pray that I may speak worthily of the most exalted Minds—how the Hierarchy amongst them is exhibited through the Oracles.
methods of the works of God, as being first and around God, being ministered, in the highest degree, from the very source of consecration.
This, then, the theologians distinctly shew (viz.) that the subordinate Orders of the Heavenly Beings are taught by the superior, in due order, the deifying sciences; and that those who are higher than all are illuminated from Godhead itself, as far as permissible, in revelations of the Divine mysteries. For they introduce some of them as being religiously instructed, by those of a higher rank, that He, Who was raised to Heaven as Man, is Lord of the Heavenly Powers and King of Glory; and others, as questioning Jesus Himself, as desiring to be instructed in the science of His Divine work on our behalf, and Jesus Himself teaching them immediately, and shewing to them, at first hand, His beneficent work out of love to man. For "I," He says, "am speaking of righteousness and judgment of Salvation." Now I am astonished that even the first of the Beings in Heaven, and so far above all, should reverently strive after the supremely Divine illuminations, as intermediate Beings. For they do not ask directly, "Wherefore are Thy garments red? " but they first raise the question among themselves, shewing that they desire to learn, and crave the deifying knowledge, and not anticipating the illumination given after a Divine procedure.
The first Hierarchy, then, of the Heavenly Minds is purified, and enlightened, and perfected, by being ministered from the very Author of initiation, through its elevation to It immediately, being filled, according to its degree, with the altogether most holy purification of the unproachable Light of the pre-perfect source of initiation, unstained indeed by any remissness, and full of primal Light, and perfected by its participation in first-given knowledge and science. But to sum up, I may say this, not inappropriately, that the reception of the supremely Divine Science is, both purification, and enlightenment, and perfecting,—purifying, as it were, from ignorance, by the knowledge of the more perfect revelations imparted to it according to fitness, and enlightening by the self-same Divine knowledge, through which it also purifies, that which did not before contemplate the things which are now made manifest through the higher illumination; and perfecting further, by the self-same Light, through the abiding science of the mysteries made clearly manifest.
august Godhead — Itself both above praise, and all-praiseworthy—should be known and extolled by the God-receptive minds, as is attainable; for they as images of God are, as the Oracles say, the Divine places of the supremely Divine repose; and further, that It is Monad and Unit tri-subsistent, sending forth His most kindly forethought to all things being, from the super-heavenly Minds to the lowest of the earth; as super-original Origin and Cause of every essence, and grasping all things super-essentially in a resistless embrace.


Thanks!! Glorious Spring is going to hit here in a couple of months, great timing.
This solution comes from Korean Natural Farming. If you're not familiar with the core recipes of KNF it's well worth your time, they've been a rewarding addition to my permaculture practices.
Can you just use the toasted egg shells directly if you grind fine enough? If you are using the liquid, is it very acidic and does it need balancing to avoid acidifying the soil? Or has it already been neutralised during the chemical process? (what is the pH at the end of the process?) Thanks.
Not sure John, I haven't even done this method yet. Head on over to the link I propvide in the blog for more info :-).

Spain. That area you've been sent to in case you need to learn the "Castellano" approach of learning Spanish and discover later to be peppered with classic architecture and sumptuous cuisine. There might be a handful of restaurants found in the Bay Area catering to the Spanish cuisine-loving crowd. But it still pays, literally and figuratively, to get this side of the Iberian peninsula yourself to get a taste of the place. And it usually starts with checking out which places to stay among major cities found here.
A friend working as a carpet cleaner in Chula Vista told me about the eye-catching parquet flooring found in this hotel. Found in central Madrid, some travelers coming in from other areas in Europe would easily find this hotel since it is just about 500 meters away from the Atocha Railway Station. So if your itinerary would include that railway station regardless of whether you're traveling directly from the US or from another European country, as long as you have a landmark as easy to spot as the Atocha Railway Station, then you're good to go. The interiors are mostly laced with the contemporary design though. So not too nearly and still relatable. It served as a nice prelude to your travel in the capital city of Madrid.
Since Atocha is often pitched as the heart of Madrid when it comes to Spanish tourism, some travel agents make it a point to include TRYP Madrid Atocha Hotel in the itinerary. It is the same carpet cleaner from Chula Vista that gave this crucial tidbit since it's the other hotel that gets booked quicker. So slots are hard to come by. Why? With a hotel that is just within the proximity of topnotch, high-profile museums like Thyssen, Prado and the Reina Sofia, it is the best hotel to stay for art enthusiasts. Other tourists love how close this hotel is to other tourist hotspots like the Royal Palace and Paseo de la Castellana that it is practically reachable by foot.
This is one of the hotels in the city of Barcelona that is easiest to locate since it is basically right next to Hard Rock Cafe. It might have been its best landmark so far in order to guide tourists – local and foreign alike – to the nearest shopping havens like Las Ramblas and other joints. People book a room here for a night or two hoping to get the view of Plaza Catalunya and, perhaps its best architectural contribution to Spanish tourism so far, the Gothic Church of Santa Ana. Such views served as a pleasant contrast to the contemporary-styled interiors apart from the comfortable rooms with which you can stay for the weekend.
Finding the right place to stay in your Spanish-themed getaway usually starts in where would you like to explore first. It may be a given that Madrid is the default starting point as 2 out of 3 hotels mentioned here are located there. So getting in touch with your favorite travel agent and suggesting these hotels to be included in your itinerary helps in gaining an early foothold in exploring this side of Europe. And you'd have a heck of fun doing it. Have a happy journey ahead.

'The Batman' Spoiler-Free Review – ScreenHub Entertainment
One of ScreenHub's and Film & Spirits' most anticipated films of the year, The Batman has changed quite a bit ever since it was first announced. Originally, it was going to be a sequel to Justice League directed by Ben Affleck, the Batman from the DCEU who made his debut in the controversial Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But after the mixed reception to the Joss Wheadon theatrical cut of Justice League, those plans were scrapped and War of the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves was brought in to reimagine the film. He scrapped Affleck's script, opting for a darker film that would eventually star Robert Pattinson in the lead role. Many were confused and even hostile towards the casting. But now that the film is here, did the former Twilight actor turned acclaimed method actor deliver a memorable caped crusader and how was the movie overall? Let's find out.
As implied by the title, Robert Pattinson stars as the titular Batman. Whereas previous actors who've donned the cowl have found a balance between the caped crusader and Bruce Wayne, Pattinson is masked for almost the entire duration of the film. He's been Batman for two years now and is still finding his footing with his nocturnal activities. Unlike recent Bats like Bale or Affleck, who were able to take on scores of goons with precision-like effectiveness, Pattinson's Batman is still learning the ropes, which means his style and technique aren't refined. He takes a lot of hits in this movie. But he's also something of a recluse. Usually, Bruce Wayne is a selfish billionaire playboy type, but this version of Bruce is merely an extension of Batman. He's quiet, focused and reserved, putting up walls around him and, unlike his parents, rejecting the life of philanthropy. Pattinson played the part inspired by Nirvana frontman and known recluse Kurt Cobain and Michael Corleone from The Godfather. Bruce/Batman doesn't have much of a character arc, as this film is heavily invested in the plot surrounding the murders, but he's still a different person by the end of the movie. Selina Kyle definitely has more of an arc than Batman does, which may frustrate people going into a movie called "The Batman", but considering Batman is so involved in the plot, it wasn't an issue for me.
[Credit: Warner Bros.]
Matt Reeves definitely wears his influences on his sleeve when it comes to the visual and narrative aesthetic for The Batman. Despite being a "superhero" film on the surface level, this is very much a neo-noir thriller. The use of rain and the noir vibe reminded me a lot of David Fincher's Se7en and the Riddler killings were heavily inspired by Fincher's true-crime adaptation, Zodiac. Unlike the Jim Carrey version from Batman Forever, this iteration of the Riddler, played by Paul Dano, is a brutal and haunting serial killer who leaves cryptic clues, riddles and ciphers at the crime scenes. A letter pinned to the first victim, addressed "To the Batman", sucks the caped crusader into this fascinating and sinister mystery.
As Batman begins his investigation with the help of Alfred (Andy Serkis), he crosses paths with memorable and iconic Batman characters, such as Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright), Penguin (Colin Farrell) and Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz). Every actor in this film brings their A-game. This Batman film is very much a noir investigative film, so having an ensemble cast of rogues and allies is critical. Batman's rapports with Jim help drive his investigation forward, which in turn leads to collaborations with Selina, someone who is in many ways, his opposite but also his equal. Farrell is clearly having a blast as Penguin. In many scenes, I could've sworn they got DeNiro instead. He goes big on a New Yorkish accent and his prosthetics almost completely hide his recognizable face. Alfred is the one who has the least to do of all the major players, but he does get a critical scene with Bruce later on in the film. And Dano as Riddler is just unsettling. I felt like I needed a shower after some of his scenes, which pushed the limits of the PG-13 rating. He's not in the movie much perse, but his presence is felt throughout.
On a technical level, The Batman is superb. Particular credit should be given to composer Michael Giacchino for his score. I often find most blockbusters have forgettable or lacklustre music, they exist to service the movie rather than to enhance it, but Giacchino really struck a chord here. The primary theme for The Batman reverberates through your body, striking fear upon every note. It's dark, bold, loud, imposing and memorable while also being hopeful and optimistic. Likewise, the film incorporates horror elements from time to time and the score reflects this, using tense string arrangements that will make the skin on the back of your neck stand on end.
The film also looks great. While sometimes too dark, the film's use of shadow and darkness, contrasted with bold oranges, yellows and reds, creates a distinct and unique colour pallet, which is quite refreshing as many blockbuster films opt for a slightly muted colour pallet these days. Gotham has never looked better on the big screen. It comes across as a mix between Chicago and New York City but feels closer to the source material than it ever has before. Neon signs burst through the night and the architecture feels pulled from the 1920s, despite the modern trappings like large television plastered over Gotham's version of Times Square.
The Batman is three hours and while it never drags, it does feel a little long towards the end. But apart from that and my minor gripes about some scenes being too dark, those are honestly my only real issues with the movie. The Batman wisely doesn't try to emulate other comic book movies by making a fun, accessible film. It swings big by giving us a neo-noir crime thriller that's haunting, dark, violent and gripping. The Batman is quite simply, a must-watch and one of DC's best films to date.

When you're thinking about fertility preservation, you're probably wondering when to freeze eggs. Our Dallas egg freezing experts believe that timing is everything, especially when it comes to preserving your ability to have children in the future. To help you make an informed decision, our physicians explain everything you need to consider as you decide when to freeze your eggs.
Your age is one of the biggest considerations when determining when to freeze eggs. Because female fertility declines over time, our Dallas egg freezing experts recommend that you consider freezing your eggs in your 20s or early 30s. These are your prime reproductive years, and the time when your egg quality and quantity are the best. When you freeze your eggs during this time in your life, you are more likely to end up with more and higher-quality eggs, which increases the likelihood of you developing a healthy pregnancy when you use your eggs later.
Although female fertility declines with age, some women may be able to freeze their eggs after their early 30s. If you are in your mid-30s or 40s, you still may be a candidate for egg freezing. However, our Dallas egg freezing experts will first recommend that you undergo ovarian reserve testing to get an estimate of how many eggs you have left in your ovaries. Testing can also give you and your physician a sense of how your body will respond to the ovarian stimulation medications that are part of the egg freezing process.
Our Dallas egg freezing experts urge you to consider more than just age as you think about when to freeze eggs. Some women may experience a decline in their egg quality and quantity at a younger age. This is known as diminished ovarian reserve. If testing reveals that this is the case, you should consider freezing your eggs as soon as possible. In contrast, if testing indicates that you have a healthy egg supply, you may be able to wait longer to preserve your fertility.
To gain the clearest picture about your reproductive potential, you should make an appointment with one of our Dallas egg freezing experts for fertility testing. This process involves blood work to assess your hormone levels and a transvaginal ultrasound to count the number of egg-containing follicles that you have in your ovaries. With these results, you will be able to make an informed decision with your physician about when to freeze eggs.
Contact us to schedule an appointment with one of our Dallas egg freezing experts to learn more about egg freezing. You can take control of your reproductive future right now.
