Матве́й Кузьми́ч Кузьми́н (21 июля 1858, деревня Куракино, Псковская губерния — 14 февраля 1942, около деревни Малкино, , Калининская область, РСФСР, СССР) — русский крестьянин. Герой Советского Союза (1965). Является старейшим по дате рождения Героем Советского Союза. (Старейшим по возрасту на момент награждения является генерал армии И.В. Тюленев, удостоенный этого звания в возрасте 86 лет).

Биография
Матвей Кузьмин родился в деревне Куракино (ныне  Псковской области) в семье крепостного крестьянина (за три года до отмены крепостного права). Был крестьянином-единоличником (не состоял в колхозе) и жил охотой и рыбной ловлей на территории колхоза «Рассвет». Его считали «контриком»; за нелюдимый характер он был прозван «Бирюк».

В августе 1941 года Псковская область и родная деревня Кузьмина была оккупирована гитлеровцами. В его доме поселился комендант, выгнав хозяев дома в сарай. В начале февраля 1942 г., после завершения Торопецко-Холмской операции, части советской 3-й ударной армии заняли оборонительные позиции вблизи родных мест Кузьмина.

Подвиг

По свидетельству Б. Н. Полевого, в Куракино квартировал батальон немецкой горнострелковой дивизии, перед которым в феврале 1942 года была поставлена задача произвести прорыв, выйдя в тыл советским войскам в планирующемся контрнаступлении в районе Малкинских высот.

13 февраля 1942 года командир батальона потребовал от восьмидесятитрёхлетнего Кузьмина выступить проводником и вывести часть к занятой советскими войсками деревне Першино (в 6 км от Куракина), пообещав за это денег, муки, керосина, а также охотничье ружьё марки Зауэр «Три кольца». Кузьмин согласился. Однако, узнав по карте предполагаемый маршрут, он послал в Першино своего внука Васю, чтобы тот предупредил советские войска, и назначил им место для засады у деревни Малкино. Сам Кузьмин долго водил немцев окольной дорогой и, наконец, на рассвете вывел в Малкино, где уже занял позицию 2-й батальон 31-й отдельной курсантской стрелковой бригады (полковник Степан Петрович Горбунов) Калининского фронта, занимавший тогда оборону на Малкинских высотах в районе деревень Макоедово, Малкино и Першино. Немецкий батальон попал под пулемётный огонь и понёс большие потери (более 50 убитых и 20 пленными). Сам Кузьмин был убит немецким командиром.

В 1966 году в советской прессе были опубликованы краткие воспоминания капитана запаса К. Баранникова, участника этих событий, бывшего командира отделения 31-й отдельной курсантской стрелковой бригады. Некоторые детали его рассказа отличаются от изложения подвига Борисом Полевым. По его словам, деревня Куракино была освобождена от немцев ещё в начале февраля 1942 года, но Матвей Кузьмин оставался в ней с сыном, отказавшись от эвакуации в тыл. В деревню пришло немецкое подразделение («не менее роты»), командир которого потребовал от Кузьмина провести его в тыл. Сын Кузьмина действительно прибежал на позиции бригады утром 14 февраля примерно за 30 минут до появления немцев и предупредил бойцов об их подходе. Немецкое передовое подразделение было уничтожено пулемётным огнём с нескольких точек. Следом по словам Баранникова, появились другие немецкие части и под прикрытием артиллерийско-миномётного огня атаковали советские позиции, выбив красноармейцев из деревни Макоедово. Но вечером контратакой бригады при поддержке прибывшей артиллерии деревня была отбита, в этой атаке сам Баранников был ранен. В примечании к этой статье приведено донесение политуправления 31 окурсб об этом бое, где в описании подвига М. Кузьмина указано о полной гибели благодаря ему немецкой разведки — 23 человека. Наименования немецкой части в воспоминаниях Баранникова не приводится, но в приведённой в статье карте положения частей 31 окурсбр на 14.02.1942 указана противостоящая немецкая часть — 227 пехотный полк.

М. К. Кузьмин был сначала похоронен в родной деревне Куракино. 19 июля 1953 года состоялось торжественное перезахоронение останков героя на братском кладбище города .

Награды
Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 8 мая 1965 года за мужество и героизм, проявленные в борьбе с немецко-фашистскими захватчиками, Кузьмину Матвею Кузьмичу посмертно присвоено звание Героя Советского Союза с вручением ордена Ленина.

Память

О подвиге Кузьмина впервые стало известно благодаря статье корреспондента Бориса Полевого, напечатанной в газете «Правда». (Полевой оказался в этом районе и присутствовал на похоронах Кузьмина). 24 февраля 1942 года о подвиге сообщило Советское Информбюро:

Для фронта были выпущены листовки, в газетах и журналах о Кузьмине печатались очерки, рассказы, стихи; один из рассказов («Последний день Матвея Кузьмина»), автором которого был сам Борис Полевой, был включён в программу начальной школы. Ему посвящали свои произведения писатели, поэты (например, в годы войны была широко известна баллада Е. Петунина), скульпторы. Именем Героя Советского Союза Матвея Кузьмина были названы улицы во многих городах СССР (в частности, в городе Великие Луки его именем названа школа и улица). В его честь также назван советский (а теперь российский) траулер.

В 1944 году в Москве на одной из платформ станционного зала станции метро «Измайловский парк культуры и отдыха имени Сталина» (затем называлась «Измайловский парк», а ныне «Партизанская») и в Великих Луках на могиле героя были установлены его памятники, а на месте подвига у деревни Малкино, на «Малкинской высоте» — обелиск. Под скульптурным изображением Кузьмина на станции метро «Партизанская» (работа М. Г. Манизера) указано, что он повторил подвиг Ивана Сусанина. Деревня Малкино является памятным местом.

Мемориальная доска в память о Кузьмине установлена Российским военно-историческим обществом на здании Лычевской средней школы, где он учился.

Семья
Отец — Косьма Иванов, мать — Анастасия Семёновна. Родители Кузьмина были крепостными крестьянами помещика Болотникова, жившего в посёлке Креплянка (в трёх верстах от Антоново-Куракино, родной деревни Кузьминых).

Женился Матвей Кузьмич дважды: первая жена Наталья (батрачка из деревни Еремеево) умерла в ранней молодости. Вторая жена — Ефросинья Ивановна (или Андреевна) Шабанова, происходила родом из деревни Трощенка.

В семье Кузьминых было 8 детей (сыновья Александр и Дмитрий — от первого брака, шестеро детей — от второго). Сын Павел скончался в 1931 году; по состоянию на 1968 год старшая дочь Екатерина (1903—1986) проживала в деревне Куракино, сын Иван (1906 года рождения) работал в Великих Луках на Локомотивовагоноремонтном заводе (ЛВРЗ), сын Василий (1909 или 1912—1980) работал на Великолукском мельничном комбинате, сын Алексей (1912 или 1915—1978) — военный в отставке и младшая дочь Лидия (1918—1987) работала на мясокомбинате.

Camino La Pirámide 5750 - Huechuraba | Spanish Version
Gero Center premiered the third version of "GeroTalks" with a talk about inequality in Alzheimer's
This Thursday 27th began a new edition of that cycle of conferences organized by the Geroscience Center for Brain Health and Metabolism, which brings together researchers from the U. Mayor and the U. de Chile. Thus, the first was carried out by María Carillo, director of the Alzheimer's Association in the United States, who provided revealing data, such as that in 2050 the cost of caring for these patients will reach US $ 1.1 billion in that country. Check the schedule HERE
Alzheimer's affects 50 million people in the world and so far it has not been controlled. In fact, this figure is expected to reach 82 million in 2030 and 120 million in 2050. With this issue as the central focus, the scientific director of the United States Alzheimer's Association, María Carillo, began the third version of the Gero Talk 2021 talk cycle.
The initiative is organized by GERO, a project of the Priority Areas Fund of Chile, which in 2016 created this Geroscience Center for Brain Health and Metabolism, which brings together researchers from the Mayor University, through the Center for Integrative Biology (CIB ), and the University of Chile to study the biological bases of aging and establish genetic, environmental and social variables to understand how this process develops in the Chilean population.
The objective: to generate diagnostic tools and interventions that can reduce the appearance of neurodegenerative diseases associated with age, considering that in Chile, by the year 2050, one in four people will be over 65 years old, which implies changes in the composition age of the population and various social, health and economic challenges.
Thus, this new cycle includes a monthly talk, until October, where international researchers will talk about geriatrics, research in aging and diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Inequality in health
"One in three older adults dies from Alzheimer's or another type of dementia, and this disease kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. This is very serious ", stressed in her conference María Carrillo, who added that" between 2000 and 2019 heart diseases, thanks to research and care, decreased by 7.3%, while Alzheimer's diseases continue to advance and increased in 145%. We take this message to the federal government and state governments to show the urgency that much more research is needed on Alzheimer's, because it is the research that leads us to the answers we need to decrease deaths from these terrible diseases. "
In her talk, the academic presented data such as that Alzheimer's and other types of dementia will cost the United States of US $ 355 billion; And in 2050, the figure can reach US $ 1.1 trillion. "But these costs are not for very expensive drugs, such as chemotherapies that require other diseases. For us, these millions of dollars are only for care, because they are people who need company 24 hours a day".
María Carrillo also presented at GeroTalk the results of "Race, Ethnicity and Alzheimer's in America, where she showed how discrimination is a barrier to Alzheimer's disease care in the United States, and how this could be extrapolated in Chile. The data was revealing: more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and deaths from it, and from dementia, increased by 19% during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Felipe Court, director of the CIB of the Mayor University and member of GERO, says that "one of the most interesting and relevant aspects of María Carrillo's talk was to recognize how the Alzheimer's Association is facing the problem of inequality in access health, especially in the case of dementias. This is something that we also see here in Chile, where the socioeconomic level is associated not only with a greater probability of developing Alzheimer's or dementia, but also with poorer access to the health system, and less possibility of having professional caregivers ".
Every month, until October, GeroTalks will present a leading researcher related to geriatrics, and Felipe Court recommends the talk by Ignacio Matta, "who is conducting the largest study of Parkinson's in the Latin population, including that of South America, Central America and the United States." says the director of the Center for Integrative Biology.

Q: Full screen mode not hidding the action bar in some devices I'm trying with the following code:
findViewById(R.id.button1).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(
                View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
                        | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    }
});

In a Nexus 7 and a HTC One M7 it works as expected, hidding the action bar and the status bar. But in a Samsung Galaxy i9000 and a HTC One X the action bar is still visible. What do I  am doing wrong? Should I call getActionBar().hide()?

A: Yes, getActionBar().hide() should work. Add it to your onCreate() function

East Boys Review
Review Score: 84 / 100 Date: 24 Feb 2018
visit http://www.eastboys.com
For years East Boys has been bringing us a mix of Eastern European twinks, boy-next-door types and jocks between 18 and 25 years of age. Some of the guys are cute, some are average, and some are totally gorgeous. Expect a mix of slender, athletic and some more muscular models, and most of whom have smooth, creamy bodies. You'll find the dicks sizes vary quite a bit; there are small, medium and large cocks, as well as many huge ones too, and almost all of them are uncut. It's been just over two years since our last review, so let's take another look and see what's been happening.
The more recent updates focus more on jocks and what you might consider muscle twinks. Some are very well built, obviously spending plenty of time lifting weights at the gym, yet many are still very cute and boyish with smooth and muscular bodies. In the past the site focused on masturbation and suck and fuck action, but more recently we've been seeing a mix of flexing, helping hand and muscle worship sessions where a well-built jock flexes while his muscles are stroked, worshiped or massaged by an enthusiast. Of the latest eight videos there are six solos or handjob sessions, one bareback fuck and a muscle worship video.
Go back to the older videos and you'll find a mix of solo and gay sex action with plenty of 18 to 25 year old boys jerking their cocks in solos or sucking and fucking in mostly duos. Most of the action happens indoors in homelike settings or showers, but there's a healthy helping of outdoor action, too.
East Boys offers 1,658 exclusive DRM-free videos, and the site adds three or more videos each week; there were 16 videos added last month. The newer downloadable vids are offered in MP4 format, the newer ones playing at 1920x1080 plus two smaller sizes, and there's also a downloadable version in Flash. These are good amateur quality, and the smaller ones play on most mobile devices. The older videos are offered in MP4 format at 320x240, and there are QuickTime and Flash versions at 720x540, also at fairly good amateur quality. As well, these older videos are available as both full scenes and clips. Newer episodes are not offered in clips, however many of the full scenes are split into two parts that are released as two separate updates.
There are also 1,006 picture sets available, and as the pics progress from older to newer the photography improves. The pictures are digital stills that come in three sizes with the largest displaying at 1200x1600 at good quality, and the very newest scenes also offer you the whole picture set in their original size, which is around 2336x3504, as well. All pic sets can be enjoyed in a viewer that allows you to select one of the three sizes available, and there's a hands-free slideshow, as well. You can save the pictures individually or download any of the three zip files, one for each size. Finally, most video episodes also offer a set of screencaps: older episodes display at 480x360 while newer are 1280x720 and there are as many as 1,000 pictures, however because there are so many, you can expect lots of similar poses.
While I like what this site has to offer, there are a few things worth pointing out. There's a News/Blog link on the top navbar that leads to a blank page. Search results weren't great; I searched for "uncut" and got four results on a site packed with European guys. While there's a model index, none of the profiles are filled out, however each page links to the model's available scenes. Finally, the site has recently started breaking full scenes into two parts and releasing them as individual updates. For instance, of the latest 16 videos, there are eight full scenes, and the remaining eight updates are each half of a full scene. There is an 36 gb per day download limit, and while that's a generous limit, if you go over, your access will be paused for 12 hours. The site also frowns on automated downloaders and will give those that use them a 12-hour break as well.

A major typhoon hit Mindanao Island in the Philippines last night (3 December 2012), and emergency teams went into action, reports Catholic aid agency CAFOD ( the Catholic Fund ofr Overseas Development) and other relief networks.
National and local resources were being braced for Typhoon Bopha – known locally as Typhoon Pablo – earlier this week.
Heavy rain and winds up to 230 kilometres per hour were expected, and flash flooding and landslides are likely. Early reports say that several thousand people have been displaced and at least one killed.
In 2011, Typhoon Washi hit Mindanao on 16 December, and caused devastation in the west of the island, killing hundreds of people and leaving tens of thousands homeless. Much of the damage was caused by logs that were washed down Iligan River, which destroyed riverside villages and caused widespread damage in Iligan City.
Typhoon Bopha was expected to be considerably stronger, and CAFOD is extremely concerned about its impact.
When Washi struck, CAFOD points out, they supported local partner Ecoweb in providing food, water, household kits and shelter to people who lost their homes.
"We have been in touch with Ecoweb today to ensure that they are well prepared for the current typhoon, and we're on standby to help them respond if needed," the agency said yesterday afternoon.
Dr Kate Crowley, who leads CAFOD's Disaster Risk Reduction work, added: "Over the last year, Ecoweb has worked with local government authorities to improve the way they prepare for natural disasters. For example, they've supported the government in setting up an emergency response unit that helps people get to safe areas when disaster strikes."
She continued: "They've also carried out three dimensional hazard mapping – building models of the region in order to identify the most vulnerable communities, and then implementing plans to reduce the risks. Simple things can make a big difference, like training people to farm in a way that makes landslides less likely."
"But although better early warning systems are in place, the typhoon could still cause immense damage. Thousands of people who lost their homes in Typhoon Washi are still living in tents and temporary shelters, and we're particularly worried about the impact the typhoon could have on them. Our staff and partners are on the ground and ready to respond if needed," said Dr Crowley.

The Latest: The Tanzanian government has banned exports of unprocessed grains such as maize and sorghum in order to curb food inflation and increase output in the agro-processing industry. Squeezed crop supply in the country after a drought has seen food prices shoot up in recent months.
Implications: In the short term, the export ban will go some way towards ensuring sufficient food supply within Tanzania and tempering price growth. Food accounts for 37.1% of the country's consumer price basket, and with food inflation having shot up to 12.0% y-o-y in April from 7.3% a year earlier, households will have been hit hard. Tanzania generally runs a surplus of corn production, and while exports may have put pressure on food supply in a bad harvest year, we believe that the ban will help ensure domestic demand is filled and will cool inflationary pressures. We also note that a new harvest coming online through June and July will lead food prices to cool further across H217. As such, with inflation having averaged 5.9% in the year-to-date, we have tapped down our forecast for average inflation in 2017 to 6.3% y-o-y from 6.6% previously.
What's Next: According to government statements, the move to ban food exports was not only meant to temper food prices, but also aimed at strengthening the country's agro-processing industry, with the hope of boosting its exports up the value chain. However, Tanzania's food processing industry is relatively underdeveloped, suggesting that the ban will not be effective. Although the country has received increasing investment in the secondary agribusiness sector, with its development being a government priority, the production facilities are lacking and this will likely pose downside risks to the agricultural sector in the short-to-medium term. This ban also fits in with a trend of sharp policy shifts by the government, which has led to investor concern about the country's regulatory environment. While we believe it is likely that the government will reverse its stance in the coming quarters, we see headwinds to growth should the ban remain in place.


this past weekend, devin and i hosted friendsgiving for the first time ever! to make it feel more formal (besides the $5 cloth table cloth i got at a thrift store), i made little name cards for everyone. after looking at pin after pin of really elaborate table settings and fancy thanksgiving-themed place cards, i wanted to make something a little simpler.
first, decide the size of your name cards and cut out strips from the brown paper bag. i then decided the guys would get the stamped place cards and the ladies would get cursive, scripty place cards.
so, i dipped each letter stamp into my watercolor (more color than water) and stamped out the guys' cards.
next, i wrote the girls' names on their cards, but that felt too plain! which led to my adding little twine accents. i glued a small dab of hot glue on the underside of the name card and wrapped the twine around the card. that way, the glue isn't seen on the front of the card.
voila! that's it. there are lots of ways to take this idea and make it your own! how would you do names? how could you adapt the place card accents?


Before the bratwursts, dances, and steins filled with beer, there was a small village in the Franconian Heights of Bavaria, Germany.
Dietenhofen, as the legends say, was founded when three nobel maidens became lost in the south of Germany. Their saving grace was following the song of a shepherd's horn. Grateful for their rescue, they built a chapel to commemorate their encounter. And so began the municipality of Dietenhofen, just 125 miles north of Munich.
As Dietenhofers, our founders' German roots go back as far as 1000 A.D., just 800 years before the first "Oktoberfest" festival. Today, we proudly embrace our German heritage not just by brewing beer, but creating German-style lagers as traditionally as possible.
"Most of the raw materials for our lagers—hops, malts, and water profiles—are German," says Kevin Ashford, Creative Director of Brewing.
"Our approach is to do right by the classic styles we are aiming to create. This means doing our research in reference to typical ingredients used in the style, developing water profiles that are representative of the German region where the beer is from, and choosing yeast that brings it all together."
This month, we're bringing plenty of traditional German-style beers to our taprooms, including two of our most popular Bavarian-inspired lagers.
No German beer is more celebratory than the Oktoberfest-style lager, or "Festbier." Our Figtoberfest is a golden, medium-bodied lager. Much like classic renditions of this style, it has notes of cracker honey, and gentle toast. Meadowy characteristics are present from the use of the German noble hop varietals. This helps balance malt sweetness with floral aromas and flavors.
Figtoberfest is brewed in the more contemporary style of Oktoberfest.
"A lot of people still think Oktoberfest means people drink Märzen, but these days people are really drinking a new-age festbier," Ashford said.
"This evolution of the Oktoberfest-style lager is significantly lighter in color, and lower in alcohol. It also typically doesn't have as much malt character which Märzen is so well known for, but it still has the traditional flavors that millions of people travel to Germany for."
Traditionally brewed in Munich, this Dunkel is brewed with 100% German ingredients. It's a lot lighter than people think in terms of it's flavor and texture, and it's one of the many traditional German styles that we have proudly mastered here in the Central Coast.
Don't miss our 2018 Figtoberfest celebration on September 29th, including German food, games, music, costume contest and plenty of German-style craft beers. Celebrate at our Buellton HQ and at each of our taproom locations. More info: Figtoberfest.com.

MTZ Plus AMX in the Treatment of Smokers and Non-smokers
First Posted : April 23, 2013
Last Update Posted : April 23, 2013
University of Guarulhos
Marcelo Faveri, University of Guarulhos
Randomized controlled clinical trials have demonstrated that the use of amoxicillin (AMX) and metronidazole (MTZ) as adjuncts to mechanical therapy improves the clinical and microbiological outcomes of scaling and root planing (SRP) in non-smokers and smokers with ChP. However, the effects of this antibiotic protocol have not been directly compared in non-smokers and smokers. Therefore, the aim of this study will be to compare the clinical and microbiological effects of the adjunctive use of MTZ+AMX to SRP in smokers and non-smokers subjects with chronic periodontitis (ChP). It was hypothesized that non-smokers would benefit better from this combination of therapies than the smokers.
Chronic Periodontitis Smoking Drug: Metronidazole plus Amoxicillin Phase 4
Sample size calculation:
This study is designed to compare the clinical and microbiological effects of the treatment of smoker and non-smoker subjects with SRP+MTZ+AMX. The ideal sample size to assure adequate power for this clinical trial was calculated considering differences of at least 1mm between groups for clinical attachment level (CAL) in initially deep periodontal sites (PD ≥ 7 mm). It was also determined that the standard deviation of CAL change at deep sites would be 1.0 mm based on our earlier studies of smokers and non-smokers receiving SRP combined with MTZ+AMX. Based on these calculations, it was defined that 26 subjects per group would be necessary to provide an 85% power with an α of 0.01. Considering an attrition of about 20%, it was established that at least 32 subjects should be included in each treatment group.
Experimental design and treatment protocol:
In this cohort clinical trial, subjects will be assigned according to their smoking status, into smoker and non-smoker groups. All subjects will receive SRP combined with systemic MTZ (400 mg) and AMX (500 mg). Both antibiotics will be administered T.I.D. for 14 days. Before the study begins, all subjects will receive full-mouth supragingival scaling and instruction on proper home-care techniques. They will receive the same dentifrice to use during the study period (Colgate Total). All subjects will receive full-mouth SRP performed under local anesthesia in four to six appointments lasting approximately 1h each. Treatment of the entire oral cavity will be done in 14 days. SRP will be performed by one trained periodontist using manual instruments. The antibiotic therapies will start immediately after the first session of mechanical instrumentation. The University Pharmacy will prepare the antibiotic pills and send them to the study coordinator, who will mark the code number of each subject on a set of two packs and give them to the examiner. All subjects will receive clinical and microbiological monitoring at baseline and at 3, 6 and 12 months post-therapy.
Clinical monitoring:
One calibrated examiner will perform clinical monitoring and the treatment will carried out by another clinician. Thus, the examiner and the clinician will be masked as to the nature of the treatment groups. Visible plaque (presence or absence), gingival bleeding (presence or absence), bleeding on probing (BOP; presence or absence), suppuration (presence or absence), PD (mm) and clinical attachment level (CAL, mm) will be measured at six sites per tooth (mesiobuccal, buccal, distobuccal, distolingual, lingual and mesiolingual) in all teeth, excluding third molars. The PD and CAL measurements will be recorded to the nearest millimeter using a North Carolina periodontal probe.
Microbiological Monitoring:
Subgingival plaque samples will be collected at baseline and at 3, 6 and 12 months post-SRP from nine non-contiguous interproximal sites per subject. The select sites will be randomized in different quadrants and subset according to baseline PD, three samples in each of the following categories: shallow (PD<3 mm), intermediate (PD 4-6 mm) and deep (PD>7 mm). After the clinical parameters have been recorded, the supragingival plaque will be removed and the subgingival samples will be taken with individual sterile curettes (Gracey #11-12) and immediately placed in separate Eppendorf tubes containing 0.15 ml of buffer (TE). One hundred microliters of 0.5 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be added to each tube and the samples will be dispersed using a vortex mixer. The samples will be analyzed by Checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization.

Fruit, you say? Why yes... it may be hard to believe, but that tasty green thing is not a vegetable, but a fruit -- berry to be exact.
Eating avocados can regulate your blood pressure.
They have more fat than any other fruit, but don't let that deter you from eating them! Avocados are full of incredibly healthy mono-unsaturated fat. It's the most amazing kind of fat because it is good for your heart.
Avocados are a great source of fiber.
If you're tired of eating beans to get your fiber fix, start eating some avocados. There are 10 grams of fiber in a medium-sized avocado, with 75 percent of that fiber being insoluble (the one that speeds up the digesting process), and the other 25 percent being soluble (responsible for making you feel "full").
Avocados help your body absorb the nutrients from other foods.
One study showed that when avocado is added to salad, the absorption of beta-carotene from carrots increased 13.6 times, and the absorption of alpha-carotene from lettuce increased 4.3 times compared to the same salad eaten without avocado. The reason is because the mono-saturated fat in an avocado helps the body absorb fat-soluble carotenoid phynutrients better.
There is such thing as avocado oil, and it's said to do wonders for your body.
Avocado oil, or fat pressed from the fruit, is similar in form to olive oil. However, when you cook with avocado oil, you could be fighting heart disease, cancer and signs of aging. Research in Mexico has shown that the oil has the power to combat destructive rogue oxygen molecules. These types of molecules are known to destroy cell membranes, proteins and DNA. Avocado oil to the rescue!
Avocados are a much cheaper version of Botox.
That's right, avocados are not only for eating. An avocado can serve as a wonderful moisturizer, treat sunburns by preventing chafing, and it even help reduce wrinkles. Try this easy mask to block wrinkles from forming and to seriously hydrate dry skin: Mix raw honey, yogurt and an avocado together, and then slather it on your face. Hey, Kim Kardashian seems to enjoy it.
Avocados are full of magnesium and potassium, two nutrients known to help reduce blood pressure. The avocado provides more magnesium than twenty other fruits, including the banana, kiwi and strawberry.
The avocado's nickname is the "alligator pear."
Because its wrinkled rough green skin looks like an alligator's and it's pear-shaped. When it's cut open, an avocado sort of looks like an alligator's eye, too.
Choose ripe avocados to use right away. The skin will be pebbly and almost purplish black. Press gently and your finger should leave a slight indentation.
Choose hard bright-skinned avocados if not using right away. They should ripen in three to four days.
Contrary to popular belief, adding the avocado's pit to a bowl of guacamole is not what keeps your dip fresh and green days after making it. The real trick is adding plenty of lime and lemon juice. It's the exposure to oxygen that turns your guac brown -- lime and lemon juice's acidity slows down the oxidation process.
If you're trying to eat healthier, you can swap in the super-fruit for butter in most recipes for baked goods. Chocolate-chip cookies and banana bread can taste delicious when baked with avocado.
The method you use to peel an avocado can make a difference to your health. Research has shown that the greatest concentration of carotenoids in avocado occurs in the dark green flesh that lies just beneath the skin. You don't want to slice into that dark green portion any more than necessary when you are peeling an avocado.
For this reason, the best method is what the California Avocado Commission has called the "nick and peel" method. In this method, you actually end up peeling the avocado with your hands in the same way that you would peel a banana. The first step in the nick-and-peel method is to cut into the avocado lengthwise, producing two long avocado halves that are still connected in the middle by the seed. Next you take hold of both halves and twist them in opposite directions until they naturally separate. At this point, remove the seed and cut each of the halves lengthwise to produce long quartered sections of the avocado. You can use your thumb and index finger to grip the edge of the skin on each quarter and peel it off, just as you would do with a banana skin. The final result is a peeled avocado that contains most of that dark green outermost flesh so rich in carotenoid antioxidants!

Лейбермустер ( — «узор Лейбера») — германская модель камуфляжа, впервые применённая в 1945 году. Он был последним из семейства немецких камуфляжей периода Второй мировой войны.

История

Согласно докладу квартирмейстера армии США Фрэнсиса Ричардсона, камуфляж был разработан профессором Иоганном Георгом Шиком, который разработал камуфляжную форму для Waffen-SS с 1937 года. Однако название «лейбермустер» восходит к инженеру Хельмуту Лейберу из Фрайбурга, который совместно с компанией Schlieper & Baum A.G., Wuppertal-Elberfeld владел двумя патентами на производство двух камуфляжей. Название Leibermuster было официальным — названия всех других немецких камуфляжных рисунков — неофициальные.

Лейбермустер должен был заменить все остальные немецкие камуфляжи как в вермахте, так и в войсках СС. Камуфляж был произведён в очень ограниченном количестве до окончания войны и не успел получить широкого распространения.

После окончания войны несколько похожий на лейбермустер камуфляж дубы () производился в Чехословакии с 1950-х по 1970-е годы. Между тем, эти рисунки имеют сходство только в используемых цветах, но фактически были разными по строению.

В 1950-е переработанный камуфляж лейбермустер под названием «бундесверовский лейбермустер» предлагался в качестве единого рисунка для формы войск Европейского оборонительного сообщества. Костюм лейбермутер был изготовлен в соответствии с немецкими спецификациями в Бельгии компаниями RAKA и K.-H. в 1955 году, а затем показан на презентации новой формы бундесвера в июне 1955 года на пресс-конференции. Бельгийская армия заказала 20 000 комплектов формы, но отозвала заказ после срыва создания ЕОС. В 1956 году бельгийская армия получила камуфляжный костюм с модифицированным британским рисунком.

Кроме того, сходство с лейбермустером имеет швейцарский камуфляж Taz83, имевший более яркую долю красного цвета. Чёрная углеродная краска использовалась для обеспечения слияния контуров солдата в инфракрасном свете. Данный вариант камуфляжа получил названием «альпийский камуфляж». Шаблон камуфляжа был заменен в 1990-х годах новым рисунком Taz90, в котором красный цвет отсутствовал.

Рисунок наносился на ткань специальной светопоглощающей краской, которая также снижала ИК излучение. Сам по себе рисунок включал в себя шесть цветов: чёрный, коричневый, оливковый, светло-зелёный, белый, красный. Сама структура камуфляжа такова: на белом фоне печатаются пятна оливкового цвета, затем идёт зелёный цвет, сделанный «под листву», после него накладываются красно-коричневые вкрапления, а завершают это всё чёрные «потёки».  Образец предназначен для обеспечения некоторой маскировки в инфракрасном диапазоне .

so Happy Birthday in advance Panikos !
Its always a pleasure to be around friends, even in forums.
Even though I look like 25, my mind gets tired like 35.
.... and you're more than welcome !! I even have a place for you to stay in my home..., coz hotels are expensive here.
Panikos my friend, what do you think of this new rendering engine...?
Kray has exactly the same limitations as FPrime.
I predict that after LW8.2 things will be better, as long as SDK permits Read/Write operations of LW internal parameters.
Other than these, Kray looks very promising.
I dont have Kray, I am just guessing out of my experience.
FPrime's benefit is the interactive response to LW's changes (Surfacing, Lighting, Motion, Displacement) something that Kray cannot do.
As I wrote elsewhere, I dont see these options as competition, but as complement.
BTW, thank you for your invitation to Lux.
Hey thanks Panikos ! I'll make also some good dinner for you... come with your wife or girlfriend if you want .
Nope, it means "polite", "gentle"


Spikes Asia 2013: Jackie Stewart wins again.
Former racing car driver, Jackie Stewart, impressed even those too young to remember him from the time he won the F1 world championship three times, as he spoke at Spikes Asia 2013. He revealed he was an undiagnosed dyslexic until he was 30 and was written off at school as "slow". He admitted that even today he has difficulties with reading and writing and spends much time drawing public attention to the plight of the one in 10 in the UK who suffer to a degree from this handicap.
His compensation for this was a greater attention to detail in all that he does as well as harnessing focus and energy.
Ogilvy brought in Sir Jackie Stewart to publicise their new series on pioneers in business, sports and the arts who have harnessed creativity.
The other speakers from the industry were equally compelling. From Sunday 15th September right through to Tuesday 17th September, the Spikes informed and entertained the advertising and marketing community in the newly renovated Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Singapore. Naturally many of the presentations touched on social media but creativity in all its forms was not neglected. The overall message was that we have to learn to work in new ways if advertising is to remain relevant.
Spikes Asia 2013 at Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Following the example of AdFest, there was more emphasis this year at Spikes Asia in nurturing talent with the 'Young Media Academy', 'Young Marketers Academy', the new 'Young Account Executive Academy' and 'Young Creative Academy' as well as the 'Young Spikes' competitions.
Apart from the main presentations, there were Forums running concurrently and the new Tech Talk sessions added a new dimension.
Getty Images collaborated with The Light Surgeons to produce a dynamic video wall. Made up of synonymous screens, the wall allowed delegates to interact with Getty Images creative video content.
There were 1,800 delegates at the event this year from 30 countries. There were 4,832 entries for the Spikes Asia creative awards.
Each evening, there was a chance to socialise especially during the 'After Dark' parties hosted at the ad agencies. The advertising festival ended with the presentation of the awards.

Miss Talbot's gift
by Gerard Hayes
in Arts & literature, Such was life
In 1937 a remarkable and largely overlooked gift was made to the State Library of Victoria. A parcel was received from Miss Matilda Talbot of Wiltshire, England containing 24 original works by her grandfather William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877), one of the inventors of photography. This was one of a number of such gifts made by Miss Talbot to libraries and museums around the world, in an effort to ensure Fox Talbot's enduring fame.
Matilda Talbot (1871-1958) was notable in her own right; a prolific linguist and world traveller she served in the Women's Naval Service during the first World War, and was the last private owner of the historic house Lacock Abbey which she bequeathed to the National Trust.
Robert Macpherson, The Coliseum, circa 1860, with Library stamp
When Matilda Talbot made her gift to the Library, early photography was under-valued by libraries and museums, and treated as primarily another form of historical document. For much of their life some of the State Library's albums of historical photographs were housed on stack shelves alongside printed books, with the expectation they would be handled just the same. Precious large-plate photographs were blithely defaced with the Library stamp, albeit with the best intentions.
But from the 1960s onwards, interest in early photography and recognition of its unique artistry began to grow, to the present point where good examples of these works are eagerly sought after by collectors and institutions, bringing substantial prices at auction and forming the subject of academic study, lavish publications and major exhibitions.
Before the appointment of the first Pictures Librarian in 1978, picture collecting in the State Library formed part of the so-called Historical Collection. In fact when the Fox Talbot gift arrived in 1937 it was initially recorded in the Miscellaneous Accessions register and was not transferred to Pictures until 1980. It contains some of his famous early photographic prints from the 1840s, showing the surrounds and personnel of Lacock Abbey.
William Henry Fox Talbot, The servants at Lacock Abbey, circa 1842
It also includes some of his experiments in direct photographic printing from natural objects, to produce photographic etchings.
William Henry Fox Talbot, Four fern leaves, circa 1841
The importance of Fox Talbot's work has led to the creation of an online catalogue of all known holdings of his prints and negatives, hosted by Oxford University under the supervision of Professor Larry Schaaf. It includes State Library Victoria's holdings, which are the largest single collection in Australia.
One mystery about the State Library's Fox Talbots was that the original records of the gift mention 24 photographs, while only 23 could be accounted for. An annotation on the original brown paper envelope referred to a loan to the Technological Museum in 1939. Professor Schaaf, visiting Melbourne in 2011, was able to identify the stray print in the holdings of Museum Victoria, somewhat the worse for UV exposure.
These photographs are now digitized and downloadable in high resolution directly from the Library's online catalogue, a development which not even the ingenious Fox Talbot could have foreseen but which he would surely have enthusiastically welcomed.

Spartans call High River home
Taylor Weaver
May 28, 2013 • Last Updated May 28, 2013 • 2 minute read
By Taylor Weaver
Do you have what it takes to be a Spartan? High River is home to Team Extreme, a group of brave athletes who have Spartan status.
Spartan races are popping up on the calendars of people worldwide and competitors travel far and wide to compete.
The local team most recently travelled to Bigfork Montana for their Spartan Sprint on May 11. It was a 4.9-mile run littered with hills, swamps, rock, bushes and over 30 obstacles. Out of 292 competitors the team from High River placed 14th overall. This position put the team in the top five per cent.
Team member Darcy Barrett finished the race with a time of 1:07:21, placing him in the top 1 per cent of competitors.
"I have been competing in Spartan Races for about a year now," Clayton Terletski, team captain said. "Some of the team have been competing a little bit longer than me."
Some team members raced in the zCalgary Spartan race in 2011 and 2012, the Spartan race in Arizona in 2013, plus the mud hero race in 2012.
Members will be running in the Calgary race this year plus Spartan races in Edmonton and Red Deer as well as a "tough mudder" in BC. Plans are also set for races next year including Arizona again.
As the captain, Terletski is responsible for signing up and creating a team. He tries to line up different exercises and keep the team motivated.
The team has ventured into Calgary to use the indoor rock climbing gym to ensure their bodies are ready for anything the race will throw at them.
They have set obstacle courses inside and outside to further help their training.
"There are a lot of obstacles that are the same but they always throw in different ones too," Terletski said. "For me the toughest part of the course is running up and down so many hills."
The race courses were designed seven ultra athletes and one Royal Marine. They offer competitors the toughest challenge available in obstacle course racing.
"The Montana race was by far the most difficult I have ever run," he said.
The team has a few new editions this year that have run the Spartan race before and as Terletski describes, they're hooked.
"Effective Spartan race training includes a lot of running and conditioning to help increase your endurance," Terletski said. "This helps immensely as competitors could be moving without rest for over an hour. I love the obstacles, they're great; I love doing them!"
The team had an average race time of 1:15:53. After Darcy Barrett's time, Terletski crossed the finish line at 1:17:36, Stacie Bakken at 1:18:57 and Al Gaja crossed at 1:19:40.
The majority of the team has been training with Neville Palmer for several years in his Extreme Conditioning class at Peak Potential Fitness. The class works on strength, endurance and overall fitness using a variety of techniques and equipment.


Larry Boyer founded Success Rockets to help people and businesses prepare for and adapt to disruption so they can thrive. Are you ready?
Unless you are a head of state, most of the talk about whether AI will lead to massive job losses, job gains or have no effect is irrelevant to you. Whether 10 million jobs are created or lost is not what directly matters to your personal welfare. What matters to you is what happens to your job.
While we may not know what the future will bring with certainty, we do know that artificial intelligence is already displacing workers, creating new jobs, increasing productivity for some workers and having no impact on others. Yes, it's all happening now and it will continue to happen in the future. In fact, AI will affect more and more jobs over time since we are only in the infancy of AI development and adoption.
Rather than let our imaginations run wild about living in a real-life version of The Terminator or having robots serve drinks while spending our days relaxing on the beach, take a look at what is likely to happen to you over your remaining career and think about how you want to prepare and respond to both threats and opportunities.
Ultimately, your career and financial security are your responsibility. In order to make responsible choices, you need information. Simply, you need information about yourself and your surroundings. You need to know what's important to you, what you can do and what you enjoy doing: the life you want. Only you truly know your life circumstances and dreams.
While you don't have control over the external events that happen around you, such as the economy and technological development, you do have control over how you choose to respond. But in order to respond and successfully achieve your goals, you need knowledge of your economic surroundings and the skills to adjusts to threats and take advantage of opportunities.
How might AI impact your job?
No one can tell you what will or is likely to happen to you. When people say there are 3 million truckers in America and that autonomous trucks are a threat to their jobs, it may be generally true but not specifically true to any particular trucker. The same is true for lawyers, Wall Street traders, security guards, farmers, chefs and so on.
It is also important to recognize that there are direct and indirect impacts. A direct impact is a robot displacing you and taking your job. Another direct impact is you starting to use AI tools to increase your productivity or moving to a new job. An indirect impact has nothing to do with you or your job specifically. An example of an indirect impact is when a new firm using AI or developing a substitute product grows and puts the company you work for out of business. In such a case, you're fully employed right up until the moment you are suddenly disrupted, seemingly out of nowhere. The sharing economy has had impacts like this on taxi drivers and hotels.
When thinking about threats to your job and long-term career you'll need to consider both direct and indirect threats. A direct threat is targeted at your role specifically. An indirect threat may be a direct threat to others you work with but have a ripple effect that impacts you or may be a threat to the company you work for. Indirect threats are the ones you're less likely to be looking for and they result in a surprise to you, impacting your income, family and lifestyle.
Follow AI developments that impact the work you do. There is often some media buzz about AI developments as they are tested or shown at trade shows -- long before they are likely to be implemented and become mainstreamed.
Will the AI enhance your role? A lot of AI will enhance the productivity of employees. In some cases, this will result in new work for everyone. In other cases, fewer people will be needed. Those who know and understand the new technology are more likely to be kept on the team after the AI system is adopted.
Location can make a difference. If you work in an area that is known as a tech center or even work for a tech company, AI and automation are likely to happen earlier rather than later. Where better to test the latest technology than the locale where it is being developed? This may be especially true where AI and automation are seen as trendy. A robotic barista may be more accepted and expected in some areas than others.
Consider threats to your company's business and existence. Is there a hot new startup that is likely to grow and take market share from your company? AI can impact not only products and production but also systems and distribution.
With any of these threats, timing also matters. How long before AI and automation find their way to your role? Where will you be in your career at that time? Whether you are just starting your career, in the prime of your earning years or are about to retire, the impact on you personally will be different. For all of these reasons, you need a personal strategy that works for you.

In addition to being highly experienced, dedicated and passionate, many of our staff members have been through the process of immigrating to the UK themselves, either first hand or with family members and/or friends. This has given them an unrivalled insight into the more personal side of the immigration process, which they are therefore able to see from both a human and a legal perspective. This enhanced understanding of what people are going through on the personal side, including of the impact of the process on people's daily lives, means that the customer experience our clients receive from our advisors and lawyers is second to none.
The firm has grown consistently over the last few years. We are therefore large enough to provide a full range of immigration, asylum and citizenship services yet small enough to ensure that each client still enjoys the personal touch to our service. We conduct both private and publicly funded work and have been awarded the Specialist Quality Mark (SQM) for our Legal Aid work on immigration and asylum.
We have offices throughout the UK. Our services are therefore within easy reach, no matter your location. We believe that high quality, affordable, professional immigration advice should be accessible to all, so if you are not able to make it to one of our offices, we can provide helpful advice and guidance on the phone, or, if you are currently residing outside the UK, via Skype appointments.

The Zinfandel is something like the native vine of California, although it has its origin in Dalmatia, where it is known as Crljenak. The Zinfandel Beyers Ranch from Wente embodies the rich red wine that the Zinfandel stands for in the USA. Dark berry fruit, mouth-filling juiciness and a long finale, delicately supported by the maturing in used wooden barrels. A Californian classic at a very fair price.

As an aspiring BA, I have been researching the internet for practical examples of a requirement that has been translated into a functional requirement. Unfortunately, my internet queries yield theory, which is great, however, I am seeking examples. Below I have created a fictitious requirement and I would like to understand how to convert this into a technical requirement.
How would this be written to enable developers to develop the code? Or will the developers utilize the use cases and UML diagrams?
"The user shall be able to search either all of the initial set of databases or select a subset from it" -- Is a functional requirement. It's a bit fuzzy, but it a functional capability, Search. Now, to turn it into technical requirements, you will need to understand a little bit about the way searches are done. Is it a "Contains" search? Is it an exact match search? When will the search be initiated, as they type or upon submission? Is there a preferred search algorithm? Technical requirements are the technical considerations that need to be considered when your solution teams are designing and developing your solutions. They also include some of your "non-functional" requirements.

Q: The Event component keeps calling componentDidMount but never load at all There are 3 bottom tabs in my react native 0.59 app with react navigation 3.7. The tabs are Event, Group and Contact. Event is the initial tab.

After initial loading, I click Group tab and the screen is as below:

There are 2 groups HT and MKL shown. After I click one group, either HT or MKL, this should load Event component. The problem is that after clicking a group, Event is never loaded. On both app and server monitoring screen, there are crazy loading Event and Group non stop. The screen is stuck at Group and  stops responding to any click. I have no clue about this behavior as Event module has been fully tested and Group is newly added.
Here is the onPress code in Group module:
async _onPress(id) {
  try {
    console.log("saved group id in Group : ", id);
    await helper.setMyValue("group_id", id.toString());
    //update group_id in App.js
    this.props.updateGroup(id);  //<<<===this causes the problem
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("error in saving group_id to local disk", err);
  };
  this.props.navigation.goBack();
  //this.props.navigation.navigate("Event"); //, {group_id:element1.id});
}

What the above onPress does is to save the id user clicked and call updateGroup to update the parent's group_id and call goBack which is Event component.
The componentDidMount in Event is:
async componentDidMount(){
      this._isMounted = true;

      if (!this.props.group_id) {
        alert("Select a group");
        return;
      };
      try {
        //retrieving token
        let result = this.state.token;
        if (!result) {
          result = await helper.getJwtToken();
           if (this._isMounted) this.setState({
             token: result
           });
        };

        //console.log("secure store : ", result);
        if (!result) {
          this.props.navigation.navigate("Signup");
          return;
        };

        this.refreshData(result);

        //refresh data after goBack()
        this.willFocusSubscription = this.props.navigation.addListener(
          'willFocus', () => {
            this.refreshData(result);
          }
        );

        //get user
        let myself = this.state.user;
        if (!myself)  {
          myself = await helper._getUser(result.password, result.username);
          if (this._isMounted) this.setState({
             user: myself
           });
        };

        console.log("out of did mount event", this.state);
      }
      catch (err) {
        console.log("服务器错误(et),请再试一次!", err);
        this.props.navigation.navigate.goBack(); //("Event");
        return;

      };

Here is the app console output of in Event componentDidMount:
09-19 20:16:44.551 21659 21743 I ReactNativeJS: 'event url : ', 'http://192.168.2.133:3000/api/events/active?group_id=1&_group_id=1&_device_id=0cfce7b7e86fa397&_timezone=America%2FLos_Angeles'
09-19 20:16:44.552 21659 21743 I ReactNativeJS: 'out of did mount event', { activeEvents: [],

    }

UPDATE:
The problem is caused by this.updateGroup(id) which updates the state of group_id in App.js
updateGroup = (group_id) => {
    if (this._isMounted) this.setState({group_id:group_id});
  };

It is passed in to Group as a props in App.js:
const GroupWithSelf = (props) => (<Group {...props} myself={data.myself} token={data.result} updateGroup={this.updateGroup} updateToken={this.updateToken} />);

Not sure why this method causes racing.


The village magician, Wafa, has gone missing. His star pupil Faiza thinks he has left a clue for her on a page of the Magicalis Bestialis. With the page open and marked with an X, she believes Wafa is telling them to seek out the Simurgh, the mythical birds who possess all the knowledge of the universe. She convinces her three classmates that they must seek the help of the Simurgh to find their teacher.
She leads the boys on a difficult journey into the mountains in search of the elusive birds. A strange little man becomes their guide. However, they do not know he is a spirit leading them toward a battle between good and evil. Spirits, gods, and demons confront the four friends, who are being set up by the otherworldly forces for a much larger task than finding their teacher. The students were chosen to take sides in the battle which might spell the end of the world: a battle between the demons and the spirits.
In researching Persian mythology for another, lightly humorous book for younger kids, I found some great mythological characters I wanted to use, but they were too darned dangerous. I wrote this book to take advantage of the neat things I found.

I am slightly obsessed with knowing what time it is, to that end, I have a clock in every room and I wear a watch night and day. Not the same watch, of course, different watches. That's right; I have a watch that I specifically wear at night.
I have a watch that I specifically wear at night.
I might have refrained from telling you that lest you think I am a tad eccentric, but let's face it you already think I am on the far side of eccentric.
Now that we've established my eccentricity, I can tell you why I wear a watch at night. Sadly, the reason isn't crazy or, at least, it doesn't seem crazy to me, but am I really the best judge?
I wear a watch simply because I need to it to tell the time, even in the middle of the night. I am a light sleeper. When the cat sneezing wakes me up I want to know the time.
I don't know about you but I feel a certain smugness when I wake up at 2 am and realize I can, in fact, go back to sleep. I am less cheerful when I wake up and realize the alarm is going to ring any second.
Sure most people use an alarm clock for that, but since I can't see worth a damn without my glasses, the only way that would work for me is if the numerals were ten feet tall.
I did see a clock that projected the time onto the ceiling in enormous font, but thought might keep me awake at night. The night watch has a nice mellow blue light that only illuminates when you push the button.
My night watch has an alarm.
In addition to telling time, the watch has an alarm. Yes, I have heard of alarm clocks. Let me explain: an alarm clock strapped to my wrist was a necessity with newborn twins.
During their babyhood, I had no idea where I would ultimately end up sleeping. I have a long list of places I did end up sleeping including, in the rocking chair in the living room, but sadly, I rarely slept in my bed.
I needed an alarm clock that came with me wherever I roamed in the course of the night.
Despite my kids no longer needing night feedings I still find myself strapping on my watch. During school days, it ensures I never sleep through the alarm, no matter how late I stayed up reading and during the summer it makes me pleased to know I can shut the alarm off and sleep for another hour.
My original night watch finally went to the great time keeping place in the sky. I didn't want to retire it, but the strap broke.
Like any normal person I tried to find a replacement strap, yeah that is impossible. The kids running the watch kiosks in the mall couldn't fathom replacing a band; why not just buy a brand new $100 watch.
Most people, today, check time on a phone.
The kids working the jewelry department in the big box store didn't even know you could wear a watch on your wrist, they thought everyone used their phone to check the time.
Since the Holy Grail is easier to find than a replacement watchband I just gave up and bought a cheap digital watch. About a month after I bought it the band that holds the strap down broke. Now the strap flops around a pokes me in the middle of the night-craftsmanship gotta love it.
Meanwhile, I couldn't bear to part with my old watch. It is slumbering in my drawer, every day it beeps at 7 am, sort of a fail-safe alarm.
During the day I try to class it up a little and switch from the rubberized digital watch to my animatronic watch, it has dancing frogs on the face.
