acupuncture for sex
When dealing with sexual difficulties, many of us often overlook some important aspects. And then it turns out that the chosen strategy is not particularly effective simply due to its one-sidedness. The inhabitants of European civilization often sin with such a one-sided approach.

3 Operating principle
4 The most important thing is a competent specialist
In contrast to them, representatives of Eastern cultures tend to look at the human body as an integral system capable of restoring itself through various aspects of being. One of the effective systems aimed at healing the whole body is acupuncture.
If you have problems with potency or achieving orgasm, a Western doctor will definitely say that the difficulty lies in the peculiarities of the functioning of internal organs. However, in the East, a more holistic interpretation has been adopted. The supporters of traditional Chinese medicine in such cases will talk about the lack of energy "Yin" or "Qi", which can have a bad effect on sex life.
Sexuality is a complex complex of biological, psychological, spiritual, and other factors. There are people who adhere to a strictly Western approach in their views. Others believe that traditional Chinese medicine may be even more effective than recent treatments in Europe and America.
Baljit Hamba, M.D. from California, considers acupuncture to be an easy and relatively safe way to function Chi energy for those who are deficient in Chi. "There is not much research on this score," he says in an interview. "However, even those few experiments that have been conducted by scientists have shown that acupuncture can be useful for solving sexual problems. With the help of acupuncture such diseases as vaginismus, anorgasmia, hormonal disorders and many other difficulties are successfully treated."
One of these scientific studies was carried out in November 2013. It involved 35 men and women who suffered from various sexual dysfunctions resulting from the use of antidepressants. The study authors note that between 50 and 90% of people using drugs in this class experience sexual dysfunction.
The subjects were treated with acupuncture sessions lasting 15 minutes. During the procedure, various points were involved: they were located in the region of the kidneys, bladder, heart and other parts of the body. By the end of the study, women reported an increase in sex drive, and men reported improved erections and relief from premature ejaculation.
Dr. Hamba believes that acupuncture will be beneficial for any sexual dysfunction. "I believe this method should be used alongside a healthy lifestyle, proper diet and traditional medical procedures. If the patient suffers from an unpleasant condition that affects his libido, the acupuncturist will look for the root cause of this disorder and use needles at those points that correspond to this diagnosis.
Since the purpose of acupuncture is to improve the energy state, sometimes clients do not understand why the specialist places the needles at certain points. For example, a patient may present with pelvic pain. A acupuncturist will use needles on other parts of the body. This is normal, since important energy centers are often located far from the immediate focus of the disease.
In acupuncture, the effect is carried out on special biologically active points. Their number on the surface of the human body is about 700. These points are special points of interaction of the skin, nerve endings and internal organs. They have the highest electrical potential; they also differ in their pain sensitivity. In traditional oriental medicine, it is believed that by acting on them, you can activate the Qi energy, influence the processes that take place in the body.
traditional oriental medicine works wonders
Some people believe that acupuncture does not require much preparation. But in fact, this method can be absolutely safe for the body only if used correctly. A poorly prepared person can press the wrong point, and instead of inhibiting energies, he will cause them to surge. Therefore, the choice of a specialist must be approached with special attention.
What Is Sexual Orientation And How Does The Kinsey Scale Work?
It is unlikely that anyone would think much if asked about their sexual orientation. Most likely, we know exactly which one we belong to. But what is it really?
What Is The Strength Of A Woman? Is It Wisdom Or Weakness?
What is the strength of a woman - in her wisdom or weaknesses. How can a woman win over a man and should he be the main one in a relationship?
Number Of Sexual Partners. You, Me, He, She - Together A Friendly Family
The number of sexual partners depends on the country of residence. There are many countries in the world where nowadays it is allowed to have more than one wife

David Hugo was the second sculptor in residence at the University of Warwick in 1988. The residency culminated in the exhibition 'Between Scylla and Charybdis' at the Mead Gallery, which included this sculpture. In this work Hugo combines a variety of contrasting materials, to portray his ideas on calculating the amount of time. The red and white striped rods indicate apparatus for measuring and the globes are a sign of measurement, a visual image of the world.
" It was about death, death of a relationship. The vertical plane representing the being laid to rest, the floating world being the elevated spirit, and the hanging one the spirit yielding to gravity. This all taking place in the confines of the cage-skull that forms the piece Hour Glass, as in time having run its course. Hour Glass might also be the glass in which one reflects a past sharing, and its death."

Private Affairs
SINCE 1884,
we've been serving up the same things: fresh food, frosty drinks and good, old-fashioned conversation.
We could talk for hours about our history, our star-studded cast of diners, blah blah blah. But, for now, that's beside the point. Grab yourself a stool at the bar and order a cold one.
This is your place now.
WE FIRED UP OUR GRILL BEFORE LADY LIBERTY LIT HER TORCH.
COME IN ONCE, WE'LL KNOW YOUR NAME.
TWICE, WE'LL KNOW YOUR ORDER.
THREE TIMES, AND YOU'RE FAMILY.
PROPOSED TO HIS WIFE HERE
five hours after they met.
or just grab a beer.
"THE VATICAN OF SALOONS"
"Prohibition is like a bad cold; it will go away."
— P.J. "Paddy" Clarke
"The Cadillac of Burgers"
— Nat King Cole
"P.J. Clarke's is what a lot of us came to New York looking for."
— Departures Magazine
THE TEMPLE IS ERECTED
A red brick building on 55th Street and Third Avenue in what is now Midtown Manhattan goes up.
TAPS START TO FLOW
A certain Mr. Jennings converts the building into a saloon, serving mostly Irish immigrant laborers. Yes, P.J. Clarke's has Guinness on tap.
Patrick "Paddy" J. Clarke — who had arrived from Ireland and began bartending for the second owner, Mr. Duneen, a decade earlier — buys the joint and chooses a natural moniker for it.
Four Clarke sons are born in the tenement above the bar.
PROHIBITIVE FAVORITE
The Prohibition era brought uncertainty for Clarke and his family, but he decided to fight against it in his own way: making bathtub gin and bootlegging Scotch from Canada, he served his most loyal customers on the sly.
A LEGEND GROWS
Post-Prohibition, the place gained quite a reputation. Frank Sinatra regularly closed the place down at Table #20 and Johnny Mercer wrote "One for My Baby" on a bar napkin. The man himself, P.J. Clarke, passed away in 1948 and the restaurant was sold to the Clarke's neighbors, the Lavezzos.
THE SILVER SCREEN
The Lost Weekend is released and wins Best Picture as well as six other Academy Awards. Charles Jackson, a Clarke's regular, wrote the novel the film was based on and, when the Third Avenue El train proved to be too loud for some scenes, an interior based on P.J. Clarke's was constructed in Hollywood for shooting. Various actors from the Paramount lot were known to stop by for a cocktail.
MAKING THEIR MARK
Buddy Holly proposes in the restaurant (to a woman who he had known for all of five hours) and, in the same year, Nat King Cole proclaims that P.J.'s bacon cheeseburger is "The Cadillac of burgers!" The name, as they say, has stuck.
HOLD OUTS
The Lavezzos refuse to sell 915 Third Avenue to evil, no-good developers razing the neighborhood's buildings left and right. The New York Times described it as "David who prevailed over Goliath."
AN ICY RECEPTION
Since 1884, the beer at P.J. Clarke's was kept cold by 200 pound blocks of ice. The tradition continued all the way into the Reagan administration when the Lavezzos moved to modernized refrigeration techniques.
THE CAMELOT LOT
Ted Kennedy eats lunch as he swallows a loss of the Democratic presidential nomination to Jimmy Carter. In the previous decade, his sister-in-law, Jackie, would bring John Jr. and Caroline in for Saturday burgers. Mother's favorite meal was a hamburger and spinach salad. (Caroline was actually kicked out of the bar in 1975 by night manager Jack Sterling for drinking booze at the tender age of 17).
Actor Richard Harris becomes a teetotler. When he was drinking, he would regularly head to PJ Clarke's straight from the airport where his regular order was placed before him: six double vodkas.
WHAT'S OLD IS NEW
New owners Philip Scotti and Arnold Penner close P.J. Clarke's for a year of renovations. See if you can spot any major overhauls.
(You can't).
CLARKE'S SPARKS
P.J. Clarke's on the Hudson opens, ushering in a new era of food, drinks, and stuffed dog mascot lore from D.C. to Brazil. See if you can spot any major change in the vibe.

1. Place all the potato pasta ingredients in a food processor and blend using a kneading hook until a dough texture forms.
2. Dust some flour into a mixing bowl and transfer the dough to coat well.
3. Roll the dough into a thin long roll and use a cutter or fork to slice the potato pasta into small ball like pieces and place them on a plate dusted with flour.
4. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and throw in the potato pasta to cook. Once they have floated to the surface, it is ready to be removed. Set aside.
5. Slice up the mushrooms and reserve.
6. To make the sautéed mushrooms, in a heated pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms; season with salt, pepper and dried coriander leaves. Fry until dry and reserve.
7. In another pot, sauté the remaining butter and garlic for 5 minutes until fragrant then add in the cream, chicken stock and a pinch of salt and pepper.

"The Kids" ain't quite all right
August 22, 2010 by Dave Knadler
Not your average lesbians next door.
It's impossible to criticize a move like The Kids Are All Right without seeming a stodgy lezbophobe and hater of gay marriage, so let me preface my remarks by saying that I have no problem with lesbians – far from it – and I am adamantly indifferent on the subject of same-sex marriage.
No, what I have a problem with is these lesbians, played by the straight Annette Bening and the straight Julianne Moore, and this same-sex marriage, which is presented as a hip, modern relationship, but one so relentlessly ordinary that you feel like you're watching Wanda and June Cleaver.
That is, until they pull out the DVD of two men having sex, which they keep in a bedside drawer to revive marital passion as needed. This was the first unbelievable moment in a movie filled with them, and I don't mean that in a good way. Do lesbians normally watch a lot of male gay porn? I've not kept abreast of the latest lesbian trends, but if I were a contestant on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? my gut answer would be no. (EDIT: I'm wrong about this. Apparently, it really is a thing.) This startling scene occurs within the first 15 minutes of the film, so right away we're getting off on the wrong foot.
Other questions arise: Would a lesbian couple both choose to be inseminated with the same donated sperm, three years apart? Is it likely that the donor of said sperm would be a handsome, utterly cool and successful restaurateur living nearby? Would the children thus conceived be able to easily identify the donor 18 years later? Would the donor instantly bond with these children? Would one of the lesbians suddenly fall in love and into bed with the restaurateur? And finally, why the hell is Julianne Moore performing nude sex scenes at this stage in her career?
Questions aside, I will admit that the script has its amusing moments, eliciting an occasional smile if not any real laughs. That doesn't include the lame and contrived bit about how Nic and Jules met – it seems Jules couldn't move her tongue, and Nic, the doctor, was able to quickly cure the condition. Get it? Yuk, yuk. It also doesn't include the moment where Jules finds her son and his friend fast-forwarding through the gay-sex DVD and leaps to the erroneous conclusion that he's gay. Boy: Is that ironic or what? What a crazy, I Love Lucy kind of mixup. Aarrgh.
If there's another good point about this film, it's Annette Bening, who brings a tense dignity and nuance to the role of Nic, the alpha partner in the relationship. The scene where she discovers she's being cheated on is masterfully done, and I suppose people in Hollywood might be talking it about come Oscar time.
On the whole, though, I do not get the gushing reviews that have propelled The Kids Are All Right to about 94 percent on the Rotten Tomatoes film site. It's just another self-consciously quirky indie film that preaches to the choir on a subject dear to Hollywood's heart: this time, California's Proposition 8, otherwise known as the Protection of Marriage Act. Fine. We get it. Films have a right to be political, but they also have a responsibility to be authentic. The failing of Kids is that no single part of it rings true.

Calhoun denied bond
Published 3:05 pm Thursday, January 21, 2021
Following an approximately 3.5 hour hearing, U.S. District Judge Weigle ordered William McCall Calhoun, Jr., of Americus, to remain in custody and deemed Calhoun "a danger to the community" and a flight risk. Judge Weigle also found probable cause to believe that Calhoun entered a restricted building or grounds, made violent entry or disorderly conduct, and corruptly obstructed an official proceeding related to the Capitol violence on January 6. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Our Acting U.S. Attorney, Peter Leary, has this statement about today's proceeding and ongoing investigations related to the violence at the Capitol: "Today, the Court granted the Government's detention motion, finding a serious risk that Calhoun would endanger the community or flee. Our office, alongside the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, will continue to work to identify, arrest, and prosecute those who traveled from Middle Georgia and participated in the attack on the U.S. Capitol."
The following individuals participated in the hearing today:
Assistant U.S. Attorney Leah McEwen for the Government.
Defense Counsel Tim Saviello. Mr. Saviello is with the Federal Defenders of the Middle District of Georgia, Inc.
Witness—FBI Agent Tim Armentrout

Fullston, T., Palmer, N.O., Owens, J.A., Mitchell, M., Bakos, H.W. and Lane, M. 2012, Diet-induced paternal obesity in the absence of diabetes diminishes the reproductive health of two subsequent generations of mice, Human reproduction, vol. 27, no. 5, pp. 1391-1400, doi: 10.1093/humrep/des030.
BACKGROUND: Obesity and related conditions, notably subfertility, are increasingly prevalent. Paternal influences are known to influence offspring health outcome, but the impact of paternal obesity and subfertility on the reproductive health of subsequent generations has been overlooked. METHODS: A high-fat diet (HFD) was used to induce obesity but not diabetes in male C57Bl6 mice, which were subsequently mated to normal-weight females. First-generation offspring were raised on a control diet and their gametes were investigated for signs of subfertility. Second-generation offspring were generated from both first generation sexes and their gametes were similarly assessed. RESULTS: We demonstrate a HFD-induced paternal initiation of subfertility in both male and female offspring of two generations of mice. Furthermore, we have shown that diminished reproductive and gamete functions are transmitted through the first generation paternal line to both sexes of the second generation and via the first generation maternal line to second-generation males. Our previous findings that founder male obesity alters the epigenome of sperm, could provide a basis for the developmental programming of subfertility in subsequent generations. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first observation of paternal transmission of diminished reproductive health to future generations and could have significant implications for the transgenerational amplification of subfertility observed worldwide in humans.

I don't have virtualbox but opened it in VMware and it works great except that in full screen the vm stays small and in the middle. I tried changing the autosize to stretch but it turns out obviously distorted and hard to work with. How do i get the fullscreen to work properly?

A: You probably lack VMWare Tools. You can install it with VM > Install VMware Tools.

A: I had to change the display resolution within the OS, though I thought it should have done that automatically

Home Entertainment Hrithik Roshan And Sussanne Khan Granted Divorce By Family Court
Hrithik Roshan And Sussanne Khan Granted Divorce By Family Court
Mumbai,1 November,2014: Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan and estranged wife Sussanne formally ended their marriage on Saturday. A family court in Mumbai granted them divorce by mutual consent. Both had come in separate vehicles and left before 11 am. There were no signs of acrimony or bitterness.
Hrithik, revelling in the recent success of his film Bang Bang, and Sussanne had decided to end the marriage of 13 years on an amicable note and had filed for a mutual consent divorce six months ago in the court complex located in Bandra, close to their suburban home.
The common lawyers for both, Mrinalini Deshmukh and Dipesh Mehta, were also present, when the two entered the court premises. The settlement between the two was not detailed in the court papers, but both parted with an assurance that the agreement made outside court would be honoured.
Both will share custody of the children and will have a say and role in their upbringing.
The couple knew each other for over 17 years. They have two sons; Hrehaan is seven years old and Hridhaan is five and reside with their mother in Versova.
Hrithik, son of actor-director Rakesh Roshan, donned a hat and wore black, while Sussane wore a white collared t-shirt.
Both had released public statements last December that they were headed for a split.
The mutual consent plea essentially stated that the couple could no longer reside together as husband and wife as irretrievable differences have cropped up and efforts to resolve it have had no effect. The marriage had broken down beyond repair and hence they were filing the plea.
In a mutual consent plea, there is a six month cooling off period at the end of which if neither side withdraws their consent, the court on finding that there was no coercion or collusion and existence of a genuine marital breakdown then grants a divorce.

Monday Musings…Cover Love
Posted on August 29, 2016 August 28, 2016 by remaininhislove
She lost everything to an evil conspiracy . . . but that loss may just give her all she ever wanted.
Since meeting Steffan, the Duke of Wolfberg, at Thornbeck Castle, Lady Magdalen has not been able to stop thinking about him. She knows—as a penniless lady with little to offer in terms of a dowry—she has no real hope of marrying such a highly titled man, so it comes as a great surprise when she receives a letter from him, asking for her hand in marriage.
But all is not what it seems at Wolfberg Castle. Steffan has been evicted by his scheming uncle, and his cousin has taken over the title of duke. Left for dead, Steffan is able to escape, and disguised as a shepherd, hopes to gain entry to the castle to claim the items that will prove he is the true Duke of Wolfberg.
Journeying to the castle, Magdalen has no idea what awaits her, but she certainly did not expect her loyal maidservant to turn on her. Forcing Magdalen to trade places with her, the servant plans to marry the duke and force Magdalen to tend the geese.
Without their respective titles—and the privileges that came with them—Steffan and Magdalen are reunited in the shepherd's field. Together they conspire to get back their rightful titles. But they must hurry . . . or else they risk losing it all to the uncle's evil plan.
Lady Sabine is harboring a skin blemish, one, that if revealed, could cause her to be branded as a witch, put her life in danger, and damage her chances of making a good marriage. After all, what nobleman would want to marry a woman so flawed?
Sir Bennet is returning home to protect his family from an imminent attack by neighboring lords who seek repayment of debts. Without fortune or means to pay those debts, Sir Bennet realizes his only option is to make a marriage match with a wealthy noblewoman. As a man of honor, he loathes the idea of courting a woman for her money, but with time running out for his family's safety, what other choice does he have?
As Lady Sabine and Sir Bennet are thrust together under dangerous circumstances, will they both be able to learn to trust each other enough to share their deepest secrets? Or will those secrets ultimately lead to their demise?
Acclaimed and Award-Winning Author's Talent Continues to Win Fans
It has been six years since army nurse Jenny Bennett's heart was broken by a dashing naval officer. Now Lieutenant Ryan Gallagher has abruptly reappeared in her life at the Presidio army base but refuses to discuss the inexplicable behavior that destroyed their happiness.
Ryan is in an impossible situation. One of the few men in the world qualified to carry out a daring assignment, he accepted a government mission overseas that caused his reputation to be destroyed and broke the heart of the only woman he ever loved. Honor bound never to reveal where he had been during those six years, he can't tell Jenny the truth or it will endanger an ongoing mission and put thousands of lives at risk.
Although Ryan thinks he may have finally found a solution, he can't pull it off on his own. Loyalty to her country compels Jenny to help, but she never could have imagined the intrigue she and Ryan will have to face or the lengths to which they will have to go to succeed.
Harry Houdni's one-time apprentice holds fantastic secrets about the greatest illusionist in the world. But someone wants to claim them . . . or silence her before she can reveal them on her own.
Boston, 1926. Jenny "Wren" Lockhart is a bold eccentric—even for a female vaudevillian. As notorious for her inherited wealth and gentleman's dress as she is for her unsavory upbringing in the back halls of a vaudeville theater, Wren lives in a world that challenges all manner of conventions.
In the months following Houdini's death, Wren is drawn into a web of mystery surrounding a spiritualist by the name of Horace Stapleton, a man defamed by Houdini's ardent debunking of fraudulent mystics in the years leading up to his death. But in a public illusion that goes terribly wrong, one man is dead and another stands charged with his murder. Though he's known as one of her teacher's greatest critics, Wren must decide to become the one thing she never wanted to be: Stapleton's defender.
Forced to team up with the newly formed FBI, Wren races against time and an unknown enemy, all to prove the innocence of a hated man. In a world of illusion, of the vaudeville halls that showcase the flamboyant and the strange, Wren's carefully constructed world threatens to collapse around her. Layered with mystery, illusion, and the artistry of the Jazz Age's bygone vaudeville era, The Illusionist's Apprentice is a journey through love and loss and the underpinnings of faith on each life's stage.
Lots to look forward too!

After 20 years as a Sono institution, Barcelona Wine Bar has moved up the street and officially opened its doors in Norwalk's new Waypointe complex. Their new home looks and feels much like the creative dining spaces guests have come to expect from Barcelona's five CT locations, but as SVP Adam Halberg says " Waypointe will feel familiar, but there are some key areas that make this new location quite unique." The open kitchen, massive 40 seat bar, and a new menu approach will take their authentic and distinctive Spanish tapas menu even closer to the markets and restaurants of Spain.
For those who wax nostalgic about late nights and good times at the old Sono spot, fear not, as Creative Director and Founder, Sasa Mahr-Batuz, has quite literally transported the soul of Sono to Waypointe. The old wood bar has been reimagined in the form of hightop dining tables, and the chalkboard signs are back above the bar. Three large patios surround the restaurant, which has been thoughtfully divided into flexible dining areas that can be opened and closed as desired. Barcelona continues to be a great spot for private parties of almost any size. Garage doors will create a seamless indoor/outdoor feel in the warmer months, and for the first time, the kitchen is the focus. A wrap around horseshoe shaped bar provides stadium seating for the main event...the food.
Inspired by the team's research trips to Spain, Halberg and Barcelona's new Culinary Director, Christopher Lee, have changed the format of the Barcelona menu. The classics will still be there, but the thrust of the new menu is all about "ingredient worship," says Halberg, "procuring better ingredients and creating simpler, cleaner flavors." The goal is to allow seasonal ingredients to reign supreme.
Diners are given a visual display of the freshest meats, seafood and vegetables, much like the Ramblas' Boqueria Market in Barcelona. Ingredients get passed back to Chef John Dilemme ((French Culinary Institute, Lupa, Del Posto, and Filidia) in the kitchen, whose team will be serving a large selection of "Market" inspired dishes as well as specials you may not find on the menu. The open kitchen and surrounding seating was purposeful in generating a dialogue between diner and chef. Our hunch...the bar will be the hottest seat in the house.
One of the most exciting features of this new kitchen are the two Bertha charcoal ovens (seen above). Most of the cooking in Norwalk will be done either on large planchas (think cast iron skillet meets a strong grill) or in the Berthas. Halberg and Chef John Dilemme were positively giddy as they showed off their new toys. These high powered ovens cook any protein or vegetable with either charcoal or wood, giving ingredients that grilled flavor you simple can't replicate with a stove top. The Berthas help translate Barcelona Waypointe's philosophy of creating simpler cleaner flavors, allowing the ingredients to shine.
In terms of the beverage program, Gretchen Thomas will continue to offer an excellent selection of Spanish wine, as well as 4 draft taps for beer, one cider tap, and one cocktail on tap. The first will be a Jekyll & Hyde cocktail.
Barcelona Waypointe is currently open for dinner, but will be open for lunch and brunch once they settle in. Bar seats and high top dining around the central bar area is reserved for walk ins, but all three dining areas surrounding the main space are available for reservations.

Sony Le Plex HD testing on satellite; to make a comeback?
by Soham Bhadra
in News Television
Defunct English movie channel Sony Le Plex HD has again started testing from Asiasat 7. Currently the channel is in audio-only mode; it shows a blank screen with movies running.
Sony Le Plex HD was an HD-only English premium movie channel that was launched on 22 August 2016 with Zoya Akhtar as its brand ambassador. It showed critically-acclaimed Hollywood movies with regular premieres of new movies. However, with the introduction of the TRAI's new tariff regime—coupled with the rise of over-the-top platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video—Sony Pictures Networks India found it unsustainable to run its three HD-only channels: Sony Le Plex HD, Sony Rox HD (a Hindi music channel) and Sony Ten Golf HD. These all closed down on 31 December 2018.
If Sony Le Plex HD did not shut down, last Thursday (22 August) would have been its third anniversary. However, there are hopes that Sony Le Plex HD will be able to make a comeback, as it had a strong slate of Hollywood movies. However, it will be re-entering a very crowded market: every other English movie network in India (Star, Zee, Turner and Times) has at least 2 English movie channels (at least 3 if SD and HD are counted separately). This makes for a total of 10 English movie channels in HD alone (not counting Sony Le Plex HD), plus a further eight in SD (including Turner's WB, which is not available in HD).
While it is certainly appreciated if Sony Le Plex HD can return to Indian screens, the urgent need of the hour is a Hindi HD music channel. Currently the only such channel is Viacom18's MTV Beats HD (MTV HD+ is more of a youth entertainment channel). In the past, Hindi HD music channels MTunes HD and Sony Rox HD have shut down (Rox HD was launched only in January 2017 before shutting down last New Year's Eve along with Le Plex HD). However, the going will be tough, as Sony Pictures Networks India has renamed the licences for Sony Rox HD and Le Plex HD to Sony Ten 4 and Sony Ten 4 HD. It may be possible that Sony may return with a Hindi HD music channel as Sony Mix HD (Sony Mix has been around since 2011), though nothing has been confirmed.

Q: Write a program that asks for an input and generates a pyramid of stars that has that many layer, adding 2 stars per later I'm trying to create a program that generates a a pyramid of stars. The amount of layers the pyramid has are dependent on the user's input. For example, if the user entered a 2, it would display something like
 *
***

^As you can see, it adds two stars per layer and the number of layers is too. I've already made the basic code for this. I have figured out how to make the layers, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the number of layers right. I figured out of how get 2 stars to appear on each new layer, but am having trouble centering and properly displaying the right amount of layers. (My pyramid is centered poorly and it isn't symmetrical. Here is my code right now. I added some comments.
For some context, I'll include the a picture of how I want the pyramid to look.
As you can see, when the user enters 4 for instance, there are 4 layers, and each layer increases by two on each side. However, with my current code, when the user enter a 4, there aren't four layers and I'm not sure how to achieve that. Please don't use CSS to achieve the centering, I want to keep it JavaScript only.

var num = prompt("Enter a number..");

for (var i = 1; i <= num; i = i + 2) {
  for (var j = 1; j <= (num - i); j = j + 1) {
    document.write(" ");
  }

  for (var k = 1; k <= i; k = k + 1) {
    document.write("* ");
  }

  document.write("
");
}

A: you need to fix the spaces of course but the reason you can't get the expected number of rows is you are increasing i +2. i needs to be i++
EDIT: Spaces are also fixed.

var num = prompt("Enter a number..");

for (var i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
  for (var j = 0; j < num-i; j++) {
    document.write(" ");
  }

  for (var k = 1; k <= i; k++) {
    document.write("*");
  }

  document.write("
");
}

A: You should think it is a matrix and each row length depends with your layer bunber which formula is n*2-1 and set to it in middle of row length

Tirreno – Adriático 2019 – Stage 5 preview
10 months ago admin@ciclismointernacional.com
By David Hunter
Colli Al Metauro – Recanati 180.3km
Another brutal day awaits the GC riders.
After a flat start to the stage, things get incredibly challenging as the peloton hit the lap circuit around the streets of Recanati. The circuit is dominated by two difficult climbs.
The riders tackle Porta d'Osimo on four occasions, it is 3km at 7.9%, but that does include a relatively flat end to the climb. The main section of the climb is actually 1.5km at 12.5%, which is going to nasty, particularly on the final lap. This is the climb that finishes the stage, get ready for some fun!
Tackled on three occasions is the Muro di San Pietro, 2.2km at 8.3%, which has a maximum gradient of 19% near the crest. The final ascent of this climb crests with 10km remaining, I don't think we'll see riders waiting for the final climb.
As you can see, once the riders get thought the 1.5km at 12.5%, they still have to negotiate another 1.5km of tough roads. Given that the legs will be burning, this is a cruel finish.
Another nice day for the peloton. There will be a little bit of wind around in the afternoon and it should be a headwind on the final climb.
The circuit is only 22.7km long and features two climbs, which only have around 10km in-between. There is virtually zero flat kilometres, which makes this a very tough end to the stage. The stage is different from today, the climbs are a little easier, but the overall stage is a little harder.
Today, Astana want to blow the race apart and try to chase stage wins. I think they'll follow the same plan as today and try to launch one of their riders early, this time it should be Fuglsang. Behind them, Roglič and Yates look strong. Jumbo-Visma will hope that Laurens De Plus and Tony Martin are okay after crashing, they are important parts of the team. It would be a big help to Roglič if De Plus was there in the closing stages, if not, he'll have to ride more offensively.
With the GC still very tight, we could end up with a two races, one for the stage and the other for the overall. I'll be honest, I have no idea how this stage will play out, but you guys want me to try.
Okay, Astana used a lot of energy today and Lutsenko must be a little sore. That means we'll see an elimination race and the strongest will step forward. Judging by today, it will be Roglič, Yates and Fuglsang who will get away from the rest, but there is every chance of a rider further down on GC already escaping the bunch. If someone times their attack right, they could steal the stage from under the noses of the big 3.
Primož Roglič – I love Primož Roglič! Unlike many of the big GC riders, he rarely asks for any help. On the final climb, he smashed up it and didn't want any help until the descent. He then led out the sprint, but still managed to finish 2nd. Moving into this stage, he knows that Adam Yates is strong, but with the 10km ITT looming, there is no need to go crazy. The Slovenian knows that Yates is his main concern, he has a 43 second gap to Tom Dumoulin in 3rd, that means he only really needs to watch the Brit. However, this is not how Roglič works, he'll go to the front and try to drop everyone else. Did I mention that I love Primož Roglič?
Adam Yates – another rider who deserves a lot of credit after today. Yates looks in brilliant form, he was pretty easy following Roglič and Fuglsang up the final climb. He leads the race by 7 seconds, but knows that isn't enough of a gap with the ITT still to come. That means he needs to ride an attacking race and try to drop Roglič, that won't be easy. He could simply ride for the stage, but Roglič is faster than him in a sprint. This won't be an easy stage for him to win, but I think we'll see him challenging to do so.
Jakob Fuglsang – today was as strong as I've ever seen him, such a shame he still can't sprint! The Dane had a huge part in Lutsenko's win, but I was more impressed by the fact that he hardly looked out of breath. Moving into this stage, Fuglsang is still a massive 1:19 behind Adam Yates, that should buy him some freedom in the finale. He looked one of the best today, he should be very confident of challenging for the win tomorrow. One thing, it looks like he'll need to arrive solo!
Davide Formolo – I've been really impressed by him this week. He was active on Thursday and just missed the front group today, the Italian looks to be hitting some serious form. He has the ability to make the front selection, then he needs to see if he can take his opportunity. Sitting a little down on GC could work in his favour.
Tiesj Benoot – didn't quite work out for him today, but he did emerge as the strongest Lotto rider. Tiesj is in the same position as all the riders who are out of the GC picture, the stage will be difficult to win out of the front group, so he needs to think about when he can attack and move ahead of that group. His current form is good, but he'll need good legs and a little luck to take the win.
Zdenek Štybar – now that Alaphilippe has dropped out of the GC picture, the Czech star should be allowed some freedom. He's currently enjoying a brilliant run of form, but these climbs could well be on his limit. Štybar is the type of rider who could escape from the front group in the closing stages, this is the only way he can win the stage. It's a bold strategy but one that could pay off for him.
Wout Poels – never write off Poels. He is a rider who usually seems to get stronger the longer the race goes on, I think he should be about to hit a little peak. He can cope with the steep slopes and packs a good sprint.
This is perfect for a rider a little down on GC to take the stage. Judging by today's stage, that man has to be Jakob Fuglsang, he is ridiculously strong just now.

There's a lot of demand for open plan flats, but building regulations can make it difficult for them to get approval. Let's look at this, and how Automist Smartscan and enhanced detection can be used to solve the problem.
The National House-Building Council (NHBC) Foundation commissioned a study by BRE (Open plan flat layouts – NF 19) that has produced a set of templates for designers of open-plan flats to follow. It tackles key areas including layout, enhanced detection options, room size, travel distances, the use of fire sprinklers, and even occupant behaviour.
These designs were evaluated using CRISP, the BRE evacuation and fire spread computer model. It is a Monte Carlo model of entire fire scenarios and concluded that enhanced detection alone was not enough to meet the requirements of the Building Regulations but that open-plan flats with sprinklers and an enhanced detection system could provide a level of safety that was at least as good as that of a non-open-plan approved document B-compliant design.
Automist Smartscan qualifies by meeting the performance criteria in the relevant code of practice for fixed water mist fire protection systems: BS 8458: 2015. It is an LABC Registered Solution (EW534) and is deemed to be acceptable as a code-compliant automatic water fire suppression system, for example in accordance with the recommendations of BS 9991:2015.
There are a number of qualifications to the conclusions and examples put forward, like the results should not be extrapolated to larger designs, and variations should be justified on a case by case basis. However it did demonstrate that a fire engineered approach can be used to justify open plan flats and meet the functional requirements of the Building Regulations.

Bišapur (srednjeperzijsko Bay-Šāpūr, perzijsko بیشاپور, Bišâpûr) je bilo mesto v sasanidski Perziji (Iran) na starodavni cesti med  Parsom in Elamom, ustanovljeno leta 226. Cesta je povezovala sasanidski prestolnici Istahr v neposredni bližini Perzepolisa in Ktezifon. Mesto je stalo južno od sodobnega mesta Faliyan v okrožju Kazerun province Pars, Iran.

Bišapur je bil zgrajen v bližini rečnega prehoda. Na istem mestu je bila tudi utrdba z v skalo vklesanimi rezervoarji za vodo. V bližini Bišapurja je v dolini reke vklesanih šest sasanidskih skalnih reliefov.

Najpomembnejša značilnost mesta je kombinacija perzijske in rimske umetnosti in arhitekture, kakršne pred izgradnjo Bišapurja ni bilo. Pred tem so imela skoraj vsa velika mesta v Perziji/Iranu okrogel tloris, kakršnega sta imela na primer stari mesti Firuzabad in Darab. Bišapur je bil prvo perzijsko mesto z vzdolžnimi in prečnimi ulicami. V mestu, predvsem v notranjosti zgradb, je veliko površin obloženih s ploščicami, privzetimi iz rimske umetnosti.

Zgodovina

Ime Bišapur izhaja iz izraza Bay-Šāpūr, ki pomeni  Vladar Šapur ali Mogočni Šapur.

Iz napisov je razvidno, da je mesto leta 266 n. št. ustanovil Šapur I. (vladal 241-272), drugi kralj Sasanidskega cesarstva. Šapur je trikrat porazil Rimljane, ubil cesarja Gordijana III., ujel cesarja Valerijana in prisilil k vdaji cesarja Filipa Arabca. V svoji rodni provinci Pars je zgradil novo prestolnico, ki se je po njem imenovala Bišapur – Šapurjevo mesto. V bližini mesta je v soteski reke Bišapur ukazal vklesati mogočen relief v spomin na njegov trojni triumf nad Rimom. Na enem od reliefov, ki je polkrožne oblike, so vrste vojakov in konj, zelo podobne tistim na Trajanovem stebru v Rimu. Kralj je v Bišapurju upodobil tudi svojo kraljevo investituro, ki so jo posnemali njegovi nasledniki: kralj in bog sta obrnjena drug proti drugemu, pogosto na konju, bog, običajno Ahura Mazda, pa ponuja suverenu kraljevi diadem.

V mestu je v Šuštarju izjemen obokan most, ki so ga zgradili rimski vojaki, ujeti po Valerijanovem porazu leta 260. Mesto samo ni bilo povsem novo naselje, saj so arheologi našli ostanke naselja iz partskega in elamitskega obdobja. Mesto je imelo pomembno vlogo do arabske osvojitve Perzije med vzponom islama v drugi polovici 7. stoletja n. št. Mesto je bilo naseljeno do 10. stoletja.

Šapur ima pravokoten tloris s pravokotno mrežo ulic in spominja na rimsko zasnovo mest. Takšna zasnova se v iranski arhitekturi ni nikoli več ponovila.

Izkopavanja in raziskave

Mesto je v 30. letih prejšnjega stoletja očistil rusko-francoski arheolog Roman Ghirshman. Britanska arheologinja Georgina Herrmann je napisala tudi knjigo o sasanidskih skalnih reliefih v Bišapurju, ki je bila objavljena leta 1980.

Okrasje
Glavni del izkopavanj je potekal v kraljevi četrti na vzhodu mesta. V bližini palače je bil stal vodni tempelj, ki se šteje za Anahitinega. V središču palače je prostor v obliki križa z osmimi velikimi kvadratnimi eksedrami, okrašenimi s 64 nišami. Francoski arheologi so bili prepričani, da je bil prostor pokrit s kupolasto streho. Načrt za njeno rekonstrukcijo je bil zavrnjen. Na zahodu je dvorišče, okrašeno z mozaiki, na vzhodu pa kvadratni ivan, ki je služil kot sprejemnica. Stene so morale biti prekrite z majhnimi štukaturnimi okraski: vrstami medaljonov, trakovi z listjem in na vrhu z merloni, podedovanimi iz ahemenidske arhitekture. Vse te dekorativne tehnike so se uporabljale še po islamski osvojitvi Perzije. Tla so bila tlakovana s črnimi marmornimi ploščami in obrobljena z mozaikom. Na vrhu vsake niše je bila slika golih žensk pod prozornimi tančicami: kurtizan, glasbenic, plesalk in žensk, ki so pletle venčke v družbi bogato oblečenih dam.

Food is at the top of the agenda - and on the menu - in Westminster this week as MPs join the NFU to show their support for for Back British Farming Day on 12 September 2018.
For the first time, the Palace of Westminster will serve approximately 9,000 "Back British Farming" meals throughout the week in all its restaurants to celebrate the fabulous food produced by British farmers.
"Decisions made in Parliament must reflect the strategic importance of the food and farming sector to the nation. With more than 9,000 meals from the Back British Farming menu to be served across the week to MPs, researchers, decision-makers and visitors, food and farming is at the very centre of Westminster activity.
Table talkers were displayed in every restaurant within the Palace of Westminster, encouraging MPs to thinking about the provenance of their food.
Pictured above: NFU external affairs manager Scott Pepe sampling one of the Back British Farming meals in the Palace of Westminster.

Skiing. The activity that I had seen only in Hollywood movies, TV shows, & sometimes in Winter Olympics. Skiing is not common among most Indians yet it is an interesting sport that I wanted to try at least once. For the first time, I tried Skiing in Gulmarg, Jammu & Kashmir. I was pathetic at my first attempt & fell 8-9 times within 1 hour of the training session. That day, I gave up on Skiing because I felt I was not made for this sport at all.
This was 5 years ago. In 2018, when I visited Switzerland in Winter, once again, I had a chance of Skiing there. I mean, only someone stupid will pass this opportunity of Skiing in Switzerland! I told myself, "you were bad at it because it was the first time". This time, I decided to give it another shot & booked 1 Day Beginner Ski Package with Outdoor Interlaken.
The day arrived & the van from Outdoor Interlaken took us to their store to get all the basic gears needed for Skiing. We got boots, helmet, ski, winter ski clothing & other necessary things & walked out (in an awkward manner). The van took us to Zweilütschinen & then we headed towards Grindelwald on a bus.
After arriving in the Ski area, our Skiing training started. Our instructor started with the basics of Skiing. After a brief introduction to the activity, we were shown how to wear & remove the skis. It was the most important thing in case of falling down (which I was intending on doing a lot). We were asked to wear a ski on one foot & drag it with another one. It sounded funny but when we actually started doing it, I understood the importance of this activity.
The temperature was going down in Grindelwald & the snowfall was getting worse by the minute. It was Parampara's first time in snow & the weather was too unpredictable. We knew only one thing – THIS WAS AWESOME! After our instructor was a little relieved that none of us fell in the first stage, he asked to wear another ski & we were all set to go down a slope like an Olympic champ ski like a beginner.
After going down basic slopes a few times, I got a little confident about Skiing. The tougher thing was to get back to the start line which means climbing the slop with skis on. We came down the slope so many times when we were supposed to go up. We also got a little better at climbing after some time.
The instructor started teaching us about how to apply brakes in case of speeding. I honestly felt that I didn't need it because there was literally no speed in my case! But like a studious student, I tried grasping as much as I could. Then suddenly, the instructor said magical words like, 'pizza, fries, pizza, fries' & he got my attention. Fries was a feet formation which is used for speeding – || & pizza is a formation used to brake – /\.
Fries – Pizza – Fries – Pizza was fun for some time but it was getting difficult to do it continuously because we were so new to Skiing. At so many times, we just went straight down the slope (about 150-200m away from the instructor) because we couldn't, well, pizza – fries. He understood that & took another lesson on how to turn while Skiing. I think we sucked at turning as well. At this point, we were asking ourselves if we could & should really do it?
Our Ski teacher was really supportive & he motivated us to carry on with the activity (even though we sucked) & showed us few more easy tricks to ski well. We really tried hard but I guess it is not possible for us to ski that well in a day or two's training because the kind of training is not available back in our city. I mean, we could ask Skiers to play street Cricket in 45° heat & they won't be able to do it on Day 1.
The day was well-spent even though we didn't ski well. The snowing made it surreal. There were people, even kids, skiing like pros & it was fun watching these rockstars going down slopes like a breeze. I did a climb a small hill & asked the instructors if I could try going in the 'fries' formation just once (for the camera) & he allowed. I feel that particular moment of going down the slope successfully, that adrenaline is what most of the skiers must be feeling!
