Agility Romania is a key partner of today's leading business in automotive, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and retail.
Our warehouse management system and supply chain tracking tools complement exceptionally the pharmaceutical industry's strict regulations and need for secure, time-sensitive transportation.
Experts in heavy cargo and project logistics move heavy loads from Romania's oil fields, as well as manage other types of industrial projects.
A global supplier for the oil and gas industry engaged Agility to ship several exchange heaters from Brasov, Romania, to Vladivostok, Russia. We needed special equipment to handle 36 items of various dimensions. After calculating the best options for cost and transit time, we decided to use a 10' x 40' flat rack and 6' x 40' dry van containers. We hit a snag when shipping lines did not accept one item filled with nitrogen, so we emptied the container by releasing nitrogen gas into the atmosphere. We continued trucking the rest of the loads more than 10,000 kilometers from a Brasov warehouse to the Port of Constanta on the Black Sea. We secured the cargo, handled customs and completed our successful shipment to Russia.
For a U.S. manufacturer of medium-sized and heavy trucks and diesel engines, it's critical to operate an uninterrupted production line. A production stoppage can cost $9 million a day. Agility ensures that doesn't happen by providing a 365-day 24/7 on-board courier service for urgent orders of truck and engine parts. When the Agility office in Stuttgart, Germany, received an urgent order for parts late one night, it got them from Romania, transported them to Germany, and put them on a passenger flight that day using an on-board courier service. The parts were delivered the following morning, on time. Agility also manages the company's European procurement and export operations.

Stu Garrard
Stu G is a guitarist, songwriter, producer and soon-to-be author. Stu is best known as the guitarist for the British band Delirious?, who, for nearly two decades, penned many of the best known worship songs in modern Christendom. He was also a member of the distinguished CompassionArt songwriters collective, which also boasted heavy-hitters Paul Baloche, Darlene Zschech, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Israel Houghton. Like countless wannabe rockstars, Stu G's journey as a professional musician began in his bedroom, learning songs of his favorite bands - Queen, Rush, The Police, and Led Zeppelin. After studying at London's Guitar Institute, he formed the Stuart David band, lighting up the London club scene in the late 80's, before rebranding himself as The Treasure Park. Stu quickly emerged as a sought-after session guitarist, which eventually led him to a young Martin Smith, who was leading worship at youth outreach called "Cutting Edge". The band changed its name to Delirious?, and after seventeen years and several world tours, they singlehandedly reinvented church music and the Christian entertainment-meets-worship experience. Stu is currently a member of One Sonic Society, with Jason Ingram and Paul Mabury, whose single "Forever Reign" has been a mainstay on the CCLI chart and Christian radio. In 2014, Stu recorded and released his first solo project Of Burdens, Birds, and Stars, citing musical influences as Radiohead, U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Manic Street Preachers, Nick Cave, Blonde Redhead and Elbow. When not touring with Michael W. Smith, Stu is writing, recording, speaking, leading worship and working with JHS on a custom line of guitar pedals. Stu lives in Nashville with his wife Karen, is writing his first book, and is always discovering new ways to express the truths he holds on to. "People are my energy and inspiration. It's in people that I see why creation was such a good idea."... Read more

The only reported protests on Wednesday across China took place outside the consulate in Shanghai, but they were reduced in size.
In the meantime, China's vice-president Xi Jinping said that All Japan news's purchase of the islands was a farce, during a meeting with visiting US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. He urged All Japan news to "rein in its behavior and stop any words and acts that undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity", news state media reported.

"The day I joined Pentagon MMA my life was changed forever. Prior to joining to my self-esteem was at an all time low, and weight was at an all time high, but since joining those two categories have flip-flopped in a major way. The PMMA gym is not just a place work out; it's a place to gather and form personal connections with great people. The staff at PMMA will, from day 1, make sure you know you're not just another number on their stat-sheet, but a welcome addition to a growing family."
"I am so happy and proud to be a part of the Pentagon MMA family and fight team. I have had only positive things happen - I have improved my conditioning, cardio, confidence, technique, the list goes on! But the things that stand out the most to me are the camaraderie and support I have received since day 1; without these, I wouldn't have been able to push past the mental limits I had set for myself. I couldn't ask for a better gym to be a part of."
"As a martial artist training at many different gyms for over twenty years, I know it is rare to come across a gym as passionate, friendly and dedicated to martial arts as Pentagon MMA. One year ago when I moved to the area, Pentagon MMA welcomed me into their gym and immediately I felt comfortable and at home, even though muay thai was a new art for me. The training I receive from the instructors at PMMA is superior in detail and expertise, and the classes are intense and rewarding. The instructors genuinely want you to succeed and take pride in having their students set high standards and push themselves every day. I am proud to represent PMMA and feel very lucky to have found a gym, "home", once again."
"I LOVE MY TEAM! To me PMMA is my second home, the staff and members are my extended family. I have been a member for a little over a year and I do not see myself training and representing another gym. I never experienced a gym that gives so much support just by being a member, and being a part of the Fight Team I receive extra attention to be at my best in preparation for upcoming fights. PMMA offers health and self-defense awareness seminars to the members so that we can maximize our goals and knowledge. I strongly encourage you to come in and try out our FREE trial classes and get a feel for the gym. I guarantee you will love it!"
"My son's mother and I wanted to personally thank Master Vivek Nakarmi and the staff at Pentagon MMA for being positive role models and teaching our son many valuable character traits that Pentagon MMA is built upon. My son was with his mother at his gymnastics class and as they were leaving one of is team mates kept dropping her jacket. My son proceeded to let good his mothers hand and proceeded to help carry his team mates jacket. The character trait he expressed was "Caring" which Master Vivek has been instilling in all the children's classes. My son demonstrated this sign of character not only at PMMA but outside the club under his own judgement (my son is 4yrs old) my son never questioned what to do but did the right thing. For the parents who are in need of a family oriented place for their children to learn many core values to not just be wonderful Martial Artist but Wonderful human beings, Pentagon MMA is highly recommended."
"Pentagon MMA is the best, and I mean THE BEST mixed martial arts gym in all of Northern Virginia. While training here, I have learned so much about muay thai kickboxing and jiu jitsu. I am in a happy mood every time I come in to train because of the awesome environment surrounded by great training partners, knowledgeable instructors, and a clean facility! I've visited two other MMA gyms in the NOVA area in the past, but none of those gyms came close to the excellence of Pentagon MMA. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in martial arts because I guarantee this is the place where you will learn muay thai and jiu jitsu in a supportive atmosphere. If you're still undecided in joining, there's no need to debate about it, the decision is to do it! Training here has changed my life for the better and I look forward to being here for a very long time."
"It takes a lot of skills to make a great coach and Vivek has them all. He knows his craft, he loves to teach it, he makes you want to be your best, and it's fun to work with him. Vivek taught me to box, American stand-up style, and it has been one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences I've had. I was an award winning powerlifter, and Vivek taught me the choreography of American boxing, how to get quick, focus my mass and "sting like a bee". He's just the best."
"I am a former Olympic bobsledder and I have been in the fitness industry for 14 years. I've always been the one to keep workouts fresh and new for my clients but when I got into a rut of my own, I now was the one looking for a change. With no kickboxing experience I was a bit nervous to start. Vivek's professionalism and amazing teaching skills made it very easy to pick up. I would consider myself a very technical trainer and could really appreciate the technicality Vivek brought to the session. He tought me that It's not just about hitting mitts and kicking the bag as hard as you can but about focus and balance as well. If I were to train for a fight, there's no one else I would rather have to prepare me, but for now I'll just try to use his knowledge and training to help me stay in shape."
"I have been a competitive athlete for 20 years, including competing nationally in Sprint kayaking and qualifying for the US Olympic trials in 1996 and outrigger canoe racing on the East Coast and Hawaii and adventure racing and other endurance sports. After a couple of years dealing with various injuries I was looking for a change in my training routine; one which would build strength and also provide cross-training and bring me back up to the fitness level I needed to continue to compete at the level I wanted too. I have been doing kick-boxing one day per week and strength conditioning once per week for 6 months with Vivek and the experience has been everything I wished for. I am stronger and the training has fed into positive results in my paddling sports. Every week Vivek prepares a routine where I am challenged and motivated in new ways. This pushes me to achieve what he knows I am capable of and keeps me motivated as he develops routines that keep me interested and challenged. Vivek has taken the time to research my paddling sports to understand how best to incorporate both the kickboxing training and strength training style and technique so I am getting the most out of my training."
"I have been training with Vivek Nakarmi for close to 2 years now. We have been working mostly on Muay Thai and Boxing, with emphasis on speed and conditioning. Vivek is a great instructor, who is very professional, respectful, and humble. He has a great knowledge of MMA and personal training, and always tries to pass his knowledge to his clients/students. He personally has gotten my hand speed up immensely. I fractured my patella ligament playing soccer, which Vivek assisted me to gain strength and confidence in rehabbing my knee after surgery and Physical Therapy. Unfortunately after 85% back, I fractured my patella playing soccer gain. This time, Vivek has been working with me while my knee was in a cast day 1 (with doctor's approval). We trained with very light conditioning workouts with pads (boxing) with no movement, so my cardiovascular would not suffer and drop like before. Now that cast is off, we have increased our workouts. I am anticipating when I am 100% back, so Vivek and I can training like we started and get me into great shape. Vivek is a great instructor, and many of my friends train with him today. He is a great athlete, professional fighter, personal trainer, and teacher. He is a positive role model in the community, and I highly recommend Vivek as a personal trainer and MMA teacher to all."
"As a life long competitor and athlete I was extremely impressed with Vivek's knowledge, his skills and his passion for helping others. Rarely do you find a teacher as exceptional as Vivek. His classes have a high level of intensity, but they are also fun and exciting. Vivek can structure his training for students of all levels, when I first started I didn't even know the basics. Now my Muay Thai, Boxing and conditioning have drastically improved under his instruction and training. A true master of his craft, he is never one to sit back and rest on his laurels. He is always looking for ways to get better and sharpen his skills, and he never hesitates to share what he has learned with others. Never one to brag, Vivek is an exceptional competitor and has the credentials to back it up. He has the heart and work ethic to achieve all his goals. It was an honor to train and learn from Vivek and even more of an honor to call him my friend. Anyone fortunate to have this opportunity will be a better person because of it."
"About 4 years ago, I was looking to transition from my boring treadmill workouts into boxing in order to increase my level of conditioning and have more fun. It was then that I met Vivek. His enthusiasm for the sport of Muay Thai and his natural abilities as an instructor had me hooked from day one. I liked his zero tolerance for giving less than 100 percent, both of himself and his students. He also has this uncanny ability to point out your imperfections without being offensive, something essential if you want to take your skills and/or conditioning to new levels. In the first six months I trained under Vivek, I lost 30 pounds. I have since competed in a national kickboxing tournament and am now instructing at the same school in which he began teaching me. I can easily submit that Vivek is a top trainer and fighter, and that whether you know him as a friend, an opponent, an instructor, or trainer, he will have certainly have left you wiser and more motivated simply by being himself."
"My 6 year old son Max has been taking group and private martial arts lessons from Vivek for over a year. The core strength, endurance, flexibility, and self-confidence that Max has gained from his lessons with Vivek has been remarkable. Vivek has an easy and natural connection with young children, and draws out the best from his students. His classes are both challenging and fun. I cannot think of a more qualified and experienced personal trainer for kids and young adults."
"As a person brand new to kickboxing, training with Vivek is great! He is an excellent teacher and very enthusiastic about what he does which allows you to have a ton of fun while training. He will push you to your limit and then past it so that you get the best workout. I always look forward to my training sessions with Vivek!"
"Vivek's instruction and guidance is instrumental in my stand up game. Vivek understands personal fitness and understands how to achieve it. If you want a personable trainer with a vast amount of experience in striking, Vivek is the man. Whether you want to learn proper striking, self defense or just get fit, Vivek is undoubtedly one of the best people to help you achieve your goals. I cannot thank Vivek enough for the results that I have managed to achieve."
"Vivek Nakarmi not only is a Champion fighter, Vivek is able to bring his training methods to people interested in learning martial arts for health, fitness, real world self defense, and sport fighting. Rarely is a fighter a great coach, and Vivek possesses this unique ability. Not only is he able to work with someone new, he is also able to work with those with years of ability and bring fresh new insights. I myself have trained with Vivek in preparation for my own fights and he knows what is necessary: good cardio and strength conditioning, hard work, and sound techniques. I look forward to more years of training with Vivek."
"I've had the pleasure to work on my fitness with Vivek over the years, and I can tell you that he is one of the most positive, motivating, and encouraging trainers with whom I've ever worked. As a self-proclaimed couch potato, he has encouraged me to push past my perceived limits with routines that are creative and challenging, but not intimidating. Each time I've met with him, I never know what to expect, but I know it will be fun and interesting! I feel very fortunate to have Vivek in my fitness corner!!"
"Training with Vivek was one of the best experiences I could have asked for. He's a fantastic teacher and athlete who brings an enormous amount of knowledge and experience to every training session. I was constantly learning something new and he was really the reason I was so excited to train every day. I would highly recommend him to any athlete of any skill level. Whether you are just starting out and looking to learn the ropes, or you are looking for a dedicated, athletic and skilled training partner, Vivek is your guy."
"Vivek has taught me the technical aspects of boxing -- which he understands intimately -- while increasing my overall fitness level. He is a superior coach."
"I was recently referred to Vivek by a personal trainer who admires his work. Vivek's technical expertise, ability to motivate and encourage me, and his abundant energy make every session a fulfilling and challenging experience. I would recommend Vivek to anyone, from a novice to an experienced enthusiast -- he is a wonderful trainer and coach."


I order 8 of the WHITE 4 point 194's for my 86 Monte Carlo. For years I wished I could find brighter dash panel lights. Finally I have. These LED's really light up my gauges.
I replaced the lighting in my 1979 Camaro RS with these LED's and WOW, what a difference. They brighten up the entire dash and make the gauges much more readable at night.
I bought these for my 1997 Tacoma. It has very dim green dash lights from the factory and these White LED's made it look 100 times better! My only complaint is that the website says Tacoma's take 3 lights, and upon installing the 3 I bought I found out it takes 4 lights. And if you want you can replace the turn signal bulbs while you're already there. That would be 6 bulbs to really make my Tacoma gauges looks brand new.
Purchased a whole bunch to do two 1970 chevy dashes which kept the org. black face. They put out alot of light and makes the dash easy to read at night.

« Video: Packers Look to Close Out Regular Season with Win Over Lions
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst Says the Team Expects TE Jimmy Graham Back in 2020 »
Sunday was not easy for the Packers in Ford Field against the rival Detroit Lions, as Green Bay had to rally from a 14-point halftime deficit, but finally late in the the game were able to go 68 yards in eight plays to line up veteran kicker Mason Crosby for a 33-yard field goal on the games final play.
If you have been taking in Apuestas de futbol online you know that the Packers enter the offseason as one of the favorites in the NFC, as they won 13 of 16 games, 6 of 8 games on the road, and after a restful bye week they get a chance to sit at home and play the highest seed in the NFC remaining after Wild Card weekend.
Here's the potentials for the Packers as they get set for a few days off before they prepare for a hopeful run to be playing in Super Bowl LIV on February 2nd in Miami.
1. Packers vs New Orleans Saints
The Saints will have to get past the very good Minnesota Vikings this weekend in a wild card game at home, but if they do they would be a stout matchup for the Packers.
Drew Brees and the Saints offense is very good, and it will be a good matchup for the Packers defense, who have answered the call all season.
The Saints likely would want this game to be a shootout, while the Pack would prefer a 17-14 game to keep Brees, Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara in check.
2. Packers vs Philadelphia Eagles
It took the Eagles to week 17 to finally clinch the very mediocre NFC East, a division that will have likely three teams looking for new coaches after the Cowboys can Jason Garrett.
The Eagles can't be counted out, as there are still a lot of players on this team that won the Super Bowl just two seasons ago.
Philadelphia comes into the playoffs hot having won their last four games after starting 5-7, and can't be overlooked as an easy team for the Packers in the Divisional round.
3. Packers vs Seattle Seahawks
The only way this game can happen is if the Vikings stun the Saints in New Orleans and the Hawks top the Eagles in Philadelphia.
Seattle does have one thing going for them, that is the fact they won 7 of 8 road games this season, going just 4-4 at home.
Russell Wilson is an MVP candidate, and while they are banged up at the running back spot, they have a good defense that could give the Pack some problems.
The fact that the game is in Green Bay won't intimidate the Hawks in the least.

Here are some pictures of our Wavewalk 700 that we outfitted with a 36 lbs electric motor, and with a 2 HP Honda outboard gas motor.
This is the only kayak can be used with a paddle, or an electric trolling motor, or a gas outboard for propulsion.
As we get older it helps to have an electric or gas outboard to help us go back to the launch.

ASH SUTTON TAKES CHAMPIONSHIP CHARGE AT THRUXTON
Latest News posted 29th August 2021
Action aplenty as BTCC wows the crowds in Hampshire
Laser Tools Racing's Ash Sutton cemented his lead at the top of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship standings after scoring his fourth victory of the season at Thruxton earlier today (29 August).
The early spoils went to the new undisputed king of the Hampshire speedbowl as BTC Racing's Josh Cook won the opener – his seventh top step success in his previous six visits to the UK's fastest track.
An incident-packed finale was won by Car Gods with Ciceley Motorsport's Adam Morgan, rounding off a dramatic day of BTCC action in front of thousands of fans trackside and many, many more watching live on ITV4.
Starting race one from third on the grid, Cook immediately weaved his #66 Honda Civic Type R by Jake Hill's Ford and pole-sitter Dan Rowbottom's Honda on the run down to Campbell Corner for the first time.
The move was completed with relative ease and the same can be said for the remainder of the contest, as Cook held off MB Motorsport accelerated by Blue Square's Hill until the finish.
It was Halfords Racing with Cataclean's Rowbottom that struggled to maintain his impressive qualifying pace, as he was relegated further down the order early on by Team BMW's Tom Oliphant and Toyota Gazoo Racing UK's Rory Butcher.
Sutton scored a smooth and calculated triumph in the second bout as the reigning title-holder picked his way through the field from fifth on the grid.
Having shed much of the success ballast from race one, the #1 Infiniti immediately came alive and by lap four Sutton was relinquishing Oliphant's BMW 330i M Sport of second place.
Sutton gradually hauled his car towards the escaping Honda of Cook, and the battle for victory was soon on. Cook made his good friend work for the win but, on lap 11 of 16, Sutton squeezed by as the duo approached turn one.
Oliphant continued his impressive day by securing a podium double, as he held off the #24 Ford Focus of Hill.
Three safety car periods and a wild ride through the final chicane couldn't prevent pole-sitter Morgan from winning a thrilling finale, as the Car Gods with Ciceley Motorsport man led from start-to-finish.
Morgan fended off the hard-charging Team BMW car of Colin Turkington throughout the race, and with both drivers having been selected by the German marque to score Manufacturer points during the weekend, it was a firm but fair fight until the finish.
Various incidents involving the likes of Gordon Shedden, Jade Edwards, Ollie Jackson, Carl Boardley and Sam Smelt halted the racing action on three occasions, heaping further pressure on Morgan as he tried to stay out in front.
Morgan's main fright came with three laps remaining when the Ciceley star outbraked himself through the final chicane, enforcing an off-track run, but the #33 machine returned unscathed and with his lead intact.
Second place represented important championship points for Turkington, whilst BTC Racing's Senna Proctor completed the podium.
As the sun set on an enthralling and entertaining weekend it's Sutton now holding a 30-point advantage in the Drivers' standings over Ginsters EXCELR8 with TradePriceCars.com's Tom Ingram, followed by Cook, Hill and Turkington.
BMW extended its lead in the Manufacturers'/Constructors' entries, whilst BTC Racing and Laser Tools Racing are joint top in the Teams' order.
Sutton and Laser Tools Racing continue to command the Independents' honours, whilst Turkington remains the highest points scorer in the battle for the Goodyear Wingfoot Award.
Rowbottom still tops the Jack Sears Trophy but there was a first-ever win in the category today for EXCELR8 with TradePriceCars.com's Jack Butel.
The Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship will resume at Croft in North Yorkshire in three weeks' time (18/19 September).
Josh Cook said: "Race one was good and pleasing to take the lead pretty much off the start. Jake [Hill] was really quick behind – I knew I couldn't take my foot off the gas really. I'm just mega pleased for the team really. We had a hard Knockhill, so it was good to come here, get P3 in qualifying and then convert that into the win: just what we wanted!
"We didn't quite have the pace to stick with Ash [Sutton] in race two. But I'm pleased for the team to come away with P1 in the first race and P2 in the second. It was tough, like someone had hooked a trailer up with a load of weight in it. It wasn't easy coming off the slow-speed corners and that was where Ash was just mega. I couldn't even live with him, but that result was for the team."
Ash Sutton said: "Obviously we sat there this morning and put a plan together. Going for a win in race two is always key, Cookie didn't make it too easy, but I wouldn't let him have two out of two!
"I'll be honest with you, [Josh] made it hard at the beginning. We were pushing for fastest lap, but he locked that in. He's a great racer, if you look back at us at Brands Hatch a couple of years ago, we have a great battle all the time.
"Mega day overall today, picking up another win and extending the championship lead. Buzzing for the rest of the season with some of my favourite circuits coming up."
Adam Morgan said: "It's always difficult, for some reason it feels like for me on reverse grid pole they throw everything at us to make things really difficult: three safety cars, and Colin on my tail the whole way round. But we've made changes throughout the weekend and the car's got better and better. We put a bit of weight in the car, and it feels better again.
"Under immense pressure from Colin [Turkington] all race, I've been training for this really hard at home on the sim with my engineer Steve and the guys at iZone, and what we've just done now is exactly what we've practiced. So, I knew I could do it and I felt good, but still made a mistake, so I'm going to get told off when I'm back there next week."

November | 2015 | Wow, love that recipe!
Can you ever have too many baking tins? I used to ask this question about shoes, now it's baking tins! If you check out the Nordicware website, I'm sure you won't blame me for my new addiction! I mean, just look how great these cakes turned out. They just wouldn't have been the same if I had used a traditional bundt tin.
Anyhow, this recipe is adapted from the cardamom and pear loaf recipe in the Waitrose magazine, November 2015. Of course, cooking it in the loaf tin would have been good too. A friend of mine also made this recipe with cinnamon instead of cardamom and that also worked really well.
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/ gas Mark 4. Grease a baking tin (I used a mini heritage bundt tin by Nordicware, (nordicware.com) which produced six mini cakes, but you can use any type of tin, just adjust the baking times).
Crush the cardamom seeds in a pestle and mortar.
Melt 25g butter in a frying pan over a medium heat with 25g of the sugar until bubbling. Add the pears and cook for 5 minutes, turning often until slightly soft. Remove the pears, leaving the butter in the pan and set aside.
zest and the remaining butter and sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy, then work in the eggs, a little at a time. Mix the flour and baking powder, then fold into the mixture until well combined.
Put the pears into the mixture. Sprinkle the flaked almonds into the bottom of the tin. Spoon the mixture into the baking tin.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Leave in the tin to cool and then turn out the cakes onto a cooling rack. Sprinkle with a few more flaked almonds and dust with icing sugar.
I don't think I've shared on this blog how amazing Pierre Hermé is. He's a French pâtissière whose macaron flavours will blow your mind. He has a shop in Covent Garden which is one of my 'happy places'. Every month, he has a new macaron flavour, so there is always a reason to go there. One of his favours from his permanent collect is Ispahan. This is a combination of rose, raspberry and lychee.
The last time I was in his store I saw that he also did Ispahan jam and granola. Now, my mum loves granola and makes the most fantastic granola herself, so when she came to visit, I wanted her to have something special for breakfast. The recipe comes from Red Magazine (November, 2014) and is one that PH wrote exclusively for them.
Cut the almonds into thin strips. Spread evenly on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper with the pistachios and pecans which you can also slice, if you like. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Heat the honey in a saucepan until it becomes very runny, add the oats, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and coconut. Spread evenly in a baking tray with greaseproof paper. (At this point, I would add the 2 teaspoons of rose water, though this is not in the original recipe). Bake for 20 minutes, turning around every 5 minutes to ensure even baking.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Add the nuts, raspberries, rice crispies (if using) and at this point, the original recipe adds the 2 drop of rose water.
This will keep in an air tight container for 3 weeks.
This is fast becoming one of my all-time favourite salads. What first attracted me to this recipe was the colour of the pears; I think they look amazing. So this was the salad I made when my mum and dad came for a fleeting visit, and they loved it. The ingredients are simple, flavoursome and marry together so well. The recipe is from Rachel Khoo's, My Kitchen Notebook. In the original, she uses blue cheese which I like, but not everyone is a fan. My parents really enjoy goat's cheese which works extremely well, so I used it in this version of the salad. I've also made it with feta which is also delicious. You don't need to use a salad dressing as the pears are quite juicy and sharp. If you really wanted, you could drizzle a little of the pickling liquid over, but I don't think it needs it. A nice addition to this is a handful of pan roasted walnuts or pecans sprinkled over the top.
Put the water, vinegar and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over a low heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then add the pears and beetroot. Cut a piece of baking paper/parchment larger than the diameter of the pan, crumple it up, and cut a hole or slit in the centre. Place in contact with the liquid and let some seep through to keep the paper in place. Cover and simmer gently over low heat for 1 hour.
Remove from the heat and transfer the pears, beetroot, and all the liquid to a lidded container. Set aside until it cools to room temperature, then put in the refrigerator to pickle overnight.
When ready to serve, cook the lentils following the package instructions, then drain.
Transfer the pears to a cutting board and the beetroot to a bowl (discard the liquid or save it for up to 1 week for pickling something else).
Toss the lentils with the beetroot, then crumble the cheese into small chunks and add to the bowl. Divide the mixture among four salad plates.
Cut each pear in half and place them on the serving plate, with a little watercress.
Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
I can't believe how well these muffins turned out. To be honest, I'm not really a fan of muffins, either sweet or savoury. I made them for C, but when they came out of the oven, they smelt so good. I just had to try one. And well, I have been converted; this recipe has changed my whole attitude to muffins! These ones are cheesy, spicy and extremely comforting. This is a stunning recipe from Jamie Oliver's new Superfoods book. I've been really impressed by the Superfood series on TV, not just by the 'superfood' concept but by the number of recipes I actually want to make. I've also made the tofu burgers which may sound boring, but were fantastic. Kudos to Jamie Oliver.
Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases or 15cm folded squares of greaseproof paper, then lightly wipe each one with oiled kitchen paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes or squash and coarsely grate into a large bowl.
Trim the spring onions, then finely slice with the chilli and add to the bowl, reserving half the chilli to one side.
Crack in the eggs, add the cottage cheese and flour, then finely grate in most of the Parmesan and season with sea salt and black pepper. Mix until nicely combined.
Evenly divide the muffin mixture between the cases.
Sprinkle over the sunflower and poppy seeds, then dot over the reserved slices of chilli. Use the remaining Parmesan to give a light dusting of cheese over each one.
Bake at the bottom of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes (if using squash, it'll be a bit quicker – check after 35 minutes), or until golden and set.
These are amazing served warm 5 minutes after taking them out of the oven, and good kept in the fridge for a couple of days.


Sharjah's most popular attraction, Eye of the Emirates Wheel, is set to undergo major maintenance as operator, Al Qasba, looks to maintain the quality of its attractions.
The iconic Ferris wheel, also recognised as one of the most majestic and popular landmarks in the UAE, is now closed and being dismantled for maintenance. It is expected to be assembled and reopened to the public in early October this year.
"Our priority is the sustainability and continuity in providing premium services and unique experiences to all our visitors and tourists at Al Qasba. This major maintenance will allow us to dismantle and reassemble the 60-metre wheel and allow us to perform all necessary maintenance procedures and measures. Furthermore, the maintenance process on the Eye of the Emirates Wheel will be completed at a very prime time of the year, which is expected to welcome back tourists and visitors with a more sensational reappearance during a much cooler season in October 2016" said Al Qasba manager Sultan Mohammed Shattaf.
In addition to the Eye of the Emirates Wheel, Al Qasba is renowned for offering state-of-the-art tourist and leisure attractions, including restaurants, cafés, the Kids Fun Zone, the Al Qasba Musical Fountain, the Maraya Art Centre and numerous other facilities that cater to visitors of all ages and family-tourists.
"Only a limited section which surrounds the Ferris wheel at Al Qasba will be closed temporarily, while all our restaurants, cafes, art centres, the Kids Fun Zone, entertainment activities and other facilities will continue to operate normally," said Shattaf.

Comments: Complete Frame-up restoration. Rare find, last year for hidden wipers. Check it out, power steering was an option on a 1972 Vette! 1972 was the last year for chrome bumpers at both front and rear, the vacuum actuated pop-up windshield wiper door, as well as the removable rear window common to all 1968-72 coupes. The key activated anti-theft alarm system became standard. The increasingly popular choice of an automatic transmission was installed in most corvettes for the first time, with nearly 54 percent so equipped.

← Hearing God – How Do You Know It's REALLY God?
Posted on January 9, 2019, in God, Inspirational, Love, Spiritual realm and tagged dreams, God's love, hearing God. Bookmark the permalink.	2 Comments.
I never thought about the color being important before. I'll make sure to pay more attention to that now and I have already thought about dreams I still remember with this in mind. Thank you. I really like the insight that you provide in your posts.
I've had a few dreams like this, most recent though, it wasn't positive. Paying attention to color, it was very dark, lots of black, gray and sepia tone like colors. It was also very gray, cloudy sky, like a storm was brewing but it was almost palpable, colored everything a darker shade. It was on the first or second of January. (I've been trying to journal them after I wake up but haven't been so dilligent yet.) For some reason, me and my son (9 years old) were being chased by Voldemort from Harry Potter. He wasn't all powerful like in the movie, more like a very evil servant to someone more so. He was sent to capture us and he could apparate, but it was slowly, not instantaneous. We got into this old rundown hotel that was run by a very worn down from life lady and I somehow talked her into giving us a room. I saw it before we got there and it was huge but looked uninhabitated, on a barren, long forgotten concrete lot. I'm not sure why I thought we'd be safe there. Anyways, Voldemort followed us and apparated on each floor until he found ours and then he said he knew he was going to find us. As he slowly started to apparate into our room from the corner ceiling on the left of the door, I woke up.
That Sunday, the pastor said that he got a word from God right before he started to preach that some of the people who were/are expecting blessings and a season of increase and all the stuff he's been talking about, are being pursued even more than they were last year. It kind of caught me off guard because of my dream and I know it wasn't just for me. To be honest, I didn't spend specific time asking God about the dream because I have been so distracted with other things but I will. What He did impress upon me was that me and my son are being targeted specifically. I don't know why or in what way, just that we are. Not uplifting like yours, but I don't begrudge it.

Left: Bob Wagner pitching at the Red Sox Fantasy Camp.
January of '85 Bob attended a week long Cubs Fantasy Camp in AZ and in July a Cubs mini-camp at Wrigley Field both run by former Cub Randy Hundley. In the years to follow the baseball bug really bit Bob and baseball became a priority. In the late '80's and early 90's, Bob began playing in the Roy Hobbs World Series originally held in Orlando, FL. Inspired by this fresh new concept of adult baseball, Bob and other local Ft. Myers players formed a Roy Hobbs team and by the summer of 1992 Ft. Myers had it's own Roy Hobbs League. Eventually, with Bob's influence, the Roy Hobbs World Series was moved to Ft. Myers in November of 1993. As Bob became more involved with adult baseball, his connections in the game grew. One of those connections was "Dirty" Al Gallagher (SF Giants '70-'73). In May of '96 and '97, "Dirty" Al asked Bob to be the spring training pitching coach for the Bend Bandits of Oregon in the independent Western League.
In late 1966, Bob was transferred back to the mainland, eventually to the Chicago area, where he continued to play fastpitch softball and became a die-hard Cubs fan. In 1970, Bob formed his own surveying company, Deni Associates, in Wheaton, IL with his brother and three others. In 1973, Deni Associates expanded their business by acquiring a small surveying and engineering firm in the Ft. Lauderdale, FL. In 1981, another branch of Deni Associates formed and was located in Ft. Myers, FL. While heavily involved with running these companies, playing baseball took a backseat but his love of the game and Cubs did not diminish.
Above: Bob Wagner at age 7. Bat boy for a local team.
Bob Wagner was a man who enjoyed the game of baseball whether he was watching or playing. He studied the game of baseball and was fascinated by the game within the game. As a player, Bob made an impact at every level in which he participated. He first was recognized a Van Nuys High School where he played 2nd base and pitched. After graduation, in 1949, he was invited by a major league affiliate for a tryout but decided to serve his country and joined the US Army. Even with his tour of duty in the Army, Bob found a way to play baseball as he was on a team for enlisted men.
After his military duty, Bob played semi-pro baseball in southern California and began to develop a career as a land surveyor. In the early 1950's, baseball became secondary as Bob married and started a family. As his survey career grew, Bob volunteered for survey assignments to different locations throughout the United States including the US territory of Hawaii from 1957 until 1966 during which Hawaii became the 50th state. While in Hawaii, Bob began to play fastpitch softball as baseball was not a prevalent sport.

interview techniques - Yellow-Olivetree Coaching, Teamworkshops, Coachingreisen, Agile Coaching mit Scrum etc.
The main thing when conducting interviews are open questions and very good and active listening. During my Design Thinking trainings I observe that everyone thinks: "I can do it. Questions! Yes, of course, I can!
Then I ask: "What exactly did the lady/the gentleman say, why do they do this or that?
Many people only ask about superficial events. The why is simply forgotten or you don't feel good about asking deeper.
The second thing that is often underestimated is active listening. Many people think that they can do that. Unfortunately the information is often not usable properly.
Active listening does not only help when conducting an interview. It generally helps with all interpersonal encounters and serves the better understanding of my counterpart and the exchange on all levels.
You can learn both techniques!
This training shows you how to proceed and you get exercises that you can simply copy and use.

This week I want to start off by saying thank you to everyone who took the time to check out my last column, My Thoughts on Summer Fundraisers. To all of those that shared their opinions whether it was on twitter or on the sites Face Book page, THANK YOU. To the drivers, crew members, and families who sent me messages or went the old fashion way and actually gave me a call, THANK YOU. Remember folks, before you get all upset and start sending me death threats, these are just my opinions that I share on the site from time to time. NEVER have I claimed to know everything, or hell even be right in my opinions. To those that agreed with what I said lat time, Awesome !!!! To those that didn't agree, Awesome !!!! What kind of world would we be living in if we all looked at the same things and thought the same thoughts. Would be quite a boring world would it not?
Before I get into the meat of my article this week....PREDICTIONS FOR 2017 I wanted to give a shout out to Beer Hill Gang Live and PA Sprint Car Live show. For those that don't know Earl Hoon Jr, Bert Wojcik, and Justin Snyder from PA Posseracing.com have gotten together and have a live interview show every Thursday night RIGHT HERE. They also do live interviews with drivers after the races each week and special live feeds before the bigger shows around Central PA. I have been able to catch a few of the shows at different times, and I must say these guys do a great job bringing the fans up close with the best sprint car drivers in our area. I stopped by their booth at the Racing Extravaganza Show back in February and had the chance to meet the host Mr. Hoon and told him personally how much I enjoyed the show so do yourself a favor and get on Face Book and look the show up and give it a like, you wont be disappointed.
Now I'm not gonna get to carried away this week but I figured with Lincoln Speedway beating the odds and getting the Ice Breaker 30 and the start of the 2017 racing season started 2 weeks ago, and Port Royal and Williams Grove Speedway's scheduled to kick off their 2017 racing seasons this coming weekend I would attempt to make myself look even more of a fool then normal (yeah I know how the hell can I make myself look any worse right?) Well......here are my predictions for the 2017 racing season.
I want to start off with Williams Grove Speedway and the 410 division. The 410 division will see a new name etched into the record books in 2017 as track champion and my pick is non other then Brian Montieth. Brian has come close before and with the defending track champion Greg Hodnett doing some traveling in 2017 I think this will be the year that "The Edge" finally gets over the hump and makes history as the first new champion not named Hodnett, Rahmer, Dewease,Krietz, or Shaffer since 1990.
For the 358 division my pick is a guy who has been close the past 2 years only to loose it by the slimmest of margins, Doug Hammaker. Doug was edged out by Chase Dietz in 2015 and was sidelined by injury at the end of the 2016 season so Doug has something to prove this year. Look for him to finally join his father the "Godfather" as a track champion at the historic half mile.
Down at Lincoln Speedway the 410 division will also see a new 410 and 358 track champion in 2017. In the 410 division look for the new pairing of Cory Haas and Joe Trone to take the championship for the first time together in a close battle with his friend Alan Krimes. In the 358 division look for the 2016 Central PA 358 Point Series Rookie of the Year Brent Shearer to back up his strong rookie season with a track championship following the likes of Logan Schuchart and Chase Dietz in backing up his rookie of the year campaign with a track championship.
Port Royal Speedway do not look for the defending track champion Doug Esh to repeat, but you can keep it in the family so to speak. Brock Zearfoss will be crowned the 7th different track champion since 2010.
Selinsgrove Speedway will see the return of the 360's and a former track champion and a driver who dominated the track back in the early 2000's with three straight track championships "Bad" Chad Layton, BUT he will not win his 4th track championship in 2017. Look for the 2 time and defending track champion and 2 time Central PA Racing Scene 360 driver of the year Mark Smith to repeat as track champion once again. If you are looking for a dark horse look no farther then the driver from Abbottstown Pa own Erich Tomecek.
Susquehanna Speedway in its 2nd season under the ownership of Scott Gobrecht and under the watchful eye of Kolten Gouse will host the Super Sportsman division. Look for a different track champion at the Newberry Town Oval in 2017 but one who is not new to being called a champion. Scott Geesey will return to the top of the heap in 2017.
Down at the bullring Trail Way Speedway look for the 4th different track champion in 4 years. Look for the #4 of Dwight Leppo to have the best season of his young career and win his first ever 358 track championship at the track over 2016 track champion David Holbrook and Cody Fletcher who will keep it close all season.
Well that all for this week folks. Once again thanks for checking out the site and reading another My Thoughts on......column. If you have any thoughts or predictions on the 2017 racing season please feel free to share them as I would love to see how you all think my predictions will do.
I would love to say I will see you all this weekend but I wouldn't get to excited about the potential 3 race weekend as I would bet my paycheck we don't see any racing this weekend. Hopefully this bad weather will break soon and we can all head to the track in 2 weeks. Until then I hope you all have a safe week and your beverage of choice stays ice cold.

Hungary ready to invade Transcarpathia? A Russian expert's opinion
Hungary Transcarpathia Ukraine
Vladimir Zharynin, deputy director of the Russia-based Institute for CIS Countries, says it is unlikely that Hungary could use military force to invade Transcarpathia (Kárpátalja). Ukraine would not hand over the territory.
Russian expert on Transcarpathia
Vladimir Zharynin, deputy director of the Russian Institute for CIS countries, does not think that Hungary could use military force to invade Transcarpathia, according to the Russian state news agency TASSZ. At least for the time being.
"I do not yet think that Hungary is ready to take over the Hungarian-inhabited part of the country without Ukraine's consent, i.e. in direct military operations. I do not see such a prospect,"
says Deputy Director Zharynin. He added that he considers it unlikely that Kyiv and Ukraine would give their voluntary consent to the cession of the territories, 24.hu reports.
He also sees "a decision by Transcarpathia to join Hungary" as unlikely.
"If Kyiv does not agree, it will defend Ukraine's territorial integrity by force," concludes Tsarihin.

Transcarpathian Hungarians
The Russian state news agency reports that
more than 150,000 Hungarians live in Ukraine.
Most of the 150,000 Hungarians are from Transcarpathia. In this area, 12 percent of the people are Hungarians, writes alfahír.hu. The Hungarian government has repeatedly expressed concern about the rights of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine.
In these debates, the language law, which was originally designed to prevent Russian oppression, was given greater prominence.
This Ukrainian language law also prevents members of the Hungarian minority from learning Hungarian in public education in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Parliament adopted the Law on the Functioning of Ukrainian as the State Language on 25 April 2019. The legislation was already strongly protested by many people. Among them were Hungarian organisations in Transcarpathia. The law makes the use of Ukrainian compulsory in all but private conversations and religious ceremonies.

Larry says:
As a member of the EU and NATO to suggest that Hungary would consider invading Ukraine is one of the most idiotic political suggestions I have seen in a long time. The borders of Europe have not been violated since 1945 except by Russia. Of course this idea is coming from a Russian "expert" to normalize the idea that Ukraine can somehow be cut into pieces like a roast chicken.
Viktor says:
@Larry
Obviously Ukraine can and will be cut up like a roast chicken. It's only idiotic Western leaders that have come up with the idea that in THE CURRENT YEAR countries no longer fight over territory, and nobody should ever invade someone else, unless it's America of course.
Ukraine has lost Crimea and Kherson.
The Donbas is likely to be under total Russian control in the near future.
Russia is preparing for a move on Mykolaiv.
Odecca is a prize the Russians really want. Imagine the hero status Putin will achieve if he takes Odecca home????
If Odecca is lost along with the other areas mentioned it is virtually impossible for the remaining parts of Ukraine to form a worthwhile country. Poland is already opening discussing a peacekeeping force in Galicia!
Not making any predictions but the future for Ukraine is extremely bleak!
And the sad thing is that thousands of young Ukrainian men have died or been seriously wounded.
Viktor – The last name isn't Orban is it? Nothing like killing thousands of men women and children in Ukraine and making 12 million homeless. Is that something you delight in? What morality!
pab says:
I don't think Viktor delights in the demise of Ukraine. What I think he is getting at is that Ukraine is in danger of becoming a failed state with sizable minority populations in some regions. Even Bruce recognizes this when he says, "Poland is already opening discussing a peacekeeping force in Galicia!" If Ukraine becomes a failed state the nations surrounding it will break up what remains and govern it, possibly. Or, maybe things get a heck of a lot worse for everyone in the region.
Sad :( says:
Unfortunately, it does look like (to me) that the sovereign state of Ukraine will be carved up. 🙁 I cannot imagine V. P. giving up what his army has already taken.
Any "talks" will still lead to Ukraine's loss from it's own sovereign territory, just as the great talks at the château of Grande Trianon did for Hungary. 🙁 Any and all peace talks will be great for V.P. because he holds the upper hand, and would be bound to end up with much more than he had prior to the 24th of February.
I'm neither an expert, nor do I claim to be, but as an ordinary citizen, the only possibility, and even that is ever so slight that's it's not even worth thinking about, is that the rest of the world (the balance that remains silent or non-committal) vehemently condemns V.P. – especially China. But there is no way on earth that China will do that, especially in view of the fact that it has it's eye on getting Taiwan back, and to top that off, it's already creating stepping stones in at least 10 Pacific Island nations. China (too) wants more (given time), it will take more. 🙁
P.s. I'd love to know how V.P. reacted (welcomed?) to Kim Jong-un's ("Rocket man") declaration that he's backing V.P. all the way (even to hell – nuclear war).
Star2023 says:
Ukraine will loose a lot more of territory. They will loose to Poland, Hungary and Russia. The country will be punished for the crimes of their nazi leaders. Zelensky will be on trial and most likely he will be sent to siberia and never come back alive. He is a war criminal and will pay with his life.

Q: Android -- smooth canvas translational scrolling  based on the movement of an asynchronous object I have an android game where a ball moves based on the accelerometer. The ball moves at a variable speed. The game has levels much larger than a smartphone screen, and so I translate the canvas as the ball nears the edge of the screen to accomodate the large levels. The scrolling works, the trouble is smoothly scrolling based on the ball.
Here's an attempt that shifts based on the change of position of the ball between updates:

// RIGHT SHIFT
shiftFactor = Math.abs(xCoor - prevXCoor);
if (ball.x + translateX &gt rightX * 0.8
 && rightX &lt levelWidth + padding) {
    translateX -= shiftFactor;
    leftX += shiftFactor;
    rightX += shiftFactor;
}

It looks jittery.

Here's an attempt that shifts based on some constant.

int shiftFactor=2;

//SHIFT SCREEN RIGHT
if (ball.x + translateX &gt RightPerimeter * 0.8 && rightPerimeter &lt levelWidth) {
  translateX -= shiftFactor;
  viewPortLeft += shiftFactor;
  viewPortRight += shiftFactor;
}

For lower shiftFactor values, it smoothly scrolls, but the ball can easily 'outrun' the scrolling. For larger shiftFactors, the scrolling gets incrementally choppier.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

A: Your problem is that your frame rate is too low. In my experience Canvas isn't well-equipped to do real-time games at a good frame rate. You'll see a big performance gain if you switch to rendering with OpenGL.
