I believe our souls are inherently seeking divine guidance that will lead us personally to true and lasting peace, happiness and success in all areas of our lives.
The great news is that we are not alone in this earthly journey! We are children of a God that is happy and eager to impart His wisdom, light and guidance that will lead us along our way to become beings greater than we could have even imagined ourselves!! He wants to lead us to success–most likely not in the way our puny human minds imagine it, but only as a deeply loving, all-knowing, all-powerful Father understands it. Success in a far greater and deeper way than we even thought possible!!
How is this done? How in the world do we tap into that Heavenly knowledge that can direct us back to spiritual success? How do we train our mind, body and soul to seek out the living water of truth available to us instead of accepting and following every other voice, impulse and direction that is fighting for our attention? How do learn to LISTEN? To that sweet, gentle, still small voice of the Spirit that will guide us to truth and righteous?
I'm teaching the YW lesson "How Do I Receive Personal Revelation?" and I'm excited to share insight I have learned through studying the lesson and the wise words of apostles and prophets on this topic!! I created this worksheet for personal or classroom use as a guide to finding answers in our lives. Below is a worksheet of my personal elaboration on each section of the worksheet.
First, We Gotta Ask QUESTIONS!!
You know that scripture that says, "Ask, and it shall be bgiven you; cseek, and ye shall find;dknock, and it shall be opened unto you:" It is FOR REAL. It is real because Heavenly Father seriously desires to and does reveal and open the gates of Heaven for us. But it is contingent upon our efforts to seek those answers! Posing big or small questions engages our mind and spirit to receive answers! When we sincerely and continually ponder and seek divine direction in our lives, we become OPEN. Our eyes see what we otherwise would not have seen, our ears hear what we otherwise would not have heard and our hearts take in what would have otherwise passed by us. It is a conscious effort on our part, but receiving nuggets of wisdom and understanding from our Father in Heaven can be a constant and infinitely rewarding prize.
We need to remember that God's plan is NOT to hold back guidance that will lead us to greater happiness. But He simply CANNOT communicate what is needed if we are unwilling to listen or not in a position to listen. Think 'spiritual toddler.' If we are having a 'tantrum' over a trial, we most likely won't listen to a loving parent who genuinely wants to assist us. This happen much more than we are probably willing to admit. Just like it would be like in leading a small child we gotta be that calm child, who is finally eager to listen, who isn't crying wildly in frantic panic, who isn't just concerned about getting 'her way'. Elder Henry B. Eyring said, "Many of us, in moments of personal anguish, feel that God is far from us. The pavilion that seems to intercept divine aid does not cover God but occasionally covers us. God is never hidden, yet sometimes we are, covered by a pavilion of motivations that draw us away from God and make Him seem distant and inaccessible. Our own desires, rather than a feeling of "Thy will be done,"2 create the feeling of a pavilion blocking God." Read his talk.
Living a life to have a connection with the Spirit.
Understanding what it feels like and what it means to receive revelation and divine guidance.
I believe that when we speak of REVELATION, we can make it out to seem to so big and sometimes so sensationalized that we can miss that we have already received guidance or miss the answer that Heavenly Father is trying to communicate with us. Even though there are incredible stories of faith found in the scriptures and even in our church culture of receiving answers to prayers, most of the most miraculous experiences are quiet, personal, and seemingly undramatic. The truth is that our seemingly anticlimactic answer to our long time pleas and prayers, if we open our hearts of understanding, can hold even more deep and much more powerful influence in our personal lives and lives of others than the most sensationalized, awe inspiring, mouth dropping answers and miracles performed in history!!
I think and ponder about a subject and that I'm curious about/ have questions about or need direction with. When I am connected to the spirit, I feel like my thoughts are heighten, my mind is expanded to understand things in a broader eternal perspective. But it is not with my continual and conscience desire to know, ponder and understand truth.
Heavenly father rarely just dumps revelation out of nowhere (though at times it may seem sudden). He wants to direct us to the answer thought by thought, feeling by feeling, process by process, line upon line as it says. It is like a treasure hunt where we continually gather evidence, clues along the way as make decisions and press forward. We learn bit by bit as we are willing and ready to receive it. As we receive it we can feel the truthfulness of a principle.
God allows for this type of learning because when we come upon the answers through our own diligent seeking and willingness to receive, those answers become a PART of us. We have made an effort to be taught by the Holy Ghost. When it communicates with us it goes straight to the heart, not as an external passing thought but to the deep and spiritual part of our being that swallows and accepts truth for itself and becomes an integral part of our nature as we continue to apply the truth we have learned. It is receiving and experimenting by putting it to the test, trusting in God and in ourselves. It is a learning process, it is a journey.
(here is a great vid on it) on receiving light. I believe that revelation be sometimes received in all three ways that he explains (light switch, sunrise, and foggy day). We can have a light 'switch moment' or aha moment of what we should do. Then we have to move forward to make that decision in our lives step by step, noticing more and more guidance and understanding (like a sunrise). Yet we may be traveling as what may seem a fog day, not know everything ahead of us, trusting with each step with what we can see and having faith that are moving in the right direction.
Keep pressing forward in faith my friend!!


The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) and Land Rover North America will join forces as the Tata Motors-owned brand will become the official vehicle sponsor of the USEF for 2010.
In addition to its status as Official Vehicle of the USEF in 2010, Land Rover will also be the title sponsor of the U.S. Eventing Team competing at this year's Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Ky.
"Land Rover represents premium performance and success," says USEF President David O'Connor. "That makes them a perfect fit for our U.S. Eventing Team. We look forward to their support leading up to the World Equestrian Games and to their overall support of the Federation."
As part of the sponsorship agreement, Land Rover is expanding its partnership with the USEF to include official vehicle status at some major events. Land Rover will be the Official Vehicle of the 2010 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by Bridgestone in Lexington, Ky., and presenting sponsor of the NBC telecast.
"As we looked to the sports in which our owners participate, and the most appropriate events in which to showcase our vehicles, entering into a relationship with the United States Equestrian Federation made perfect sense," said Finbar McFall, Vice President, Marketing, Land Rover North America. "The sport of eventing requires a skill level combining elegance, power, control and capability; all the traits in fact which are represented in the interior refinements and performance characteristics of a Land Rover."


Angel Picture, Ghost Picture, or Fake?
Photographed in 1989 at the Covent Garden Piazza in London by Mr. Webb. Mrs. Webb is to the right with stroller, and the two children are theirs.
Of course, during the time the picture was taken, neither Mr. or Mrs. Webb saw anyone move into their way, ruining the moment they were capturing on film.
Notice her odd lean and absence of legs.
What makes this ghost picture even more compelling is that the legless woman is leaning forward in a way that seems unnatural. If her legs were behind the post, she would tip over (in our estimation). Besides, how could no one have noticed her, cutting her way into the path of the tram?

2. Paranautical Activity (JP) General hints and tips
IMPORTANT GLITCH NOTICE
Yes, this game has a glitch that makes it tremendously easier to complete. You can use this as much or as little as you'd like. The glitch works as follows; Start a game up on classic as any character. Go through the game as normal and kill any enemies in your way until one drops a Slowmo powerup. Pick it up and hit to activate it, pausing the game and selecting "Restart" before the powerup wears off. When you start another game up, regardless of character or difficulty, you will have unlimited Slowmo. This will last until you use another Slowmo powerup (so never ever do that) or die. If you die or otherwise quit the game, you'll need to reactivate the glitch. If you're having a bad run and know that you'll die, just restart from the pause menu instead of allowing yourself to die. This is a very, VERY helpful glitch and makes some harder trophies significantly easier.
Use the sickle! Gorton starts with the sickle as a weapon, but all characters can pick it up through a random drop in the armory or through purchase in a shop. It's the most powerful weapon by far, once you learn the "sweet spot" of where to have the sickle hover inside enemies, you'll be golden.
Speed first! You should very rarely pick up any items that lower your speed, with the exception of Dobee's Blubber. Items such as Lead, Snail Shell, etc should be avoided at all costs. Speed keeps you moving and away from enemy fire, and is more valuable than health or shields in most situations.
Get the Eyepatch! If you see the Eyepatch dropped by a boss or in a shop, take it. The loss of a crosshair is a minor inconvenience compared to the benefits of brightening a dark floor.
Survey! If you're in a room with 3 exits, poke your head through each one. This will give you an insight as to what awaits you. You could see a boss or mini-boss door, or a death trap room you'd rather avoid. Always look around.
Use powerups! Powerups are incredibly valuable and are often dropped by multiple enemies on a floor. Make use of them as frequently as you can, saving an Ankh or Assault for a tough boss.
Never stop moving! One of the most important tips, this is not a game like Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. Think more along the lines of Titanfall, where you need to constantly keep moving in order to survive. Always run and jump while attacking, don't give enemies the opportunity to lock in on your location, you will be decimated.
Persevere! The game is 100% based on luck/RNG. Sometimes you'll just have horrible runs. Other times you'll do flawlessly. I've decimated hardcore mode, ending it with dozens of health and shields in some runs. I've also died at the very end of hardcore mode. I've also beaten hardcore mode with a single scrap of health. It all depends on what the game provides you, so don't be too discouraged by a tough loss.

Abstract: We consider the problem of communicating the state of a dynamical system via a Shannon Gaussian channel. The receiver, which acts as both a decoder and estimator, observes the noisy measurement of the channel output and makes an optimal estimate of the state of the dynamical system in the minimum mean square sense. The transmitter observes a possibly noisy measurement of the state of the dynamical system. These measurements are then used to encode the message to be transmitted over a noisy Gaussian channel, where a per sample power constraint is imposed on the transmitted message. Thus, we get a mixed problem of Shannon's source-channel coding problem and a sort of Kalman filtering problem. We first consider the problem of communication with full state measurements at the transmitter and show that optimal linear encoders don't need to have memory and the optimal linear decoders have an order of at most that of the state dimension. We also give explicitly the structure of the optimal linear filters. For the case where the transmitter has access to noisy measurements of the state, we derive a separation principle for the optimal communication scheme, where the transmitter needs a filter with an order of at most the dimension of the state of the dynamical system. The results are derived for first order linear dynamical systems, but may be extended to MIMO systems with arbitrary order.

REMINDER: PELOSI AND SCHIFF BOTH CONNECTED TO UKRAINIAN ARMS DEALER
Reminder: We reported on September 29, 2019, that==>>
Speaker Pelosi and Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff are both connected to a Ukrainian arms dealer. This is why they lie in front of the nation. They are afraid of their own deeds being uncovered!
As reported this morning [September 29th], Adam Schiff leads the House Intelligence Committee and this past week he oversaw the Intel Committee where he attempted to align President Trump with some 'trumped' up allegations concerning his phone call with the President of the Ukraine.
Schiff lied in his opening remarks and claimed numerous falsehoods about the President's call in spite of the transcript being provided the day before.
His entire description of the President's call was a lie – we have the transcript and this was not in it!

CNN Played 1/3 of the FISA Hearing, 99.9 Percent of Impeachment Debate
By Tyler O'Neil December 12, 2019
Wednesday saw two historic events on Capitol Hill: Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's damning testimony covering Obama administration FISA abuses in the Russia collusion investigation into the Trump campaign and a debate on impeachment. CNN only played about one-third of the FISA hearing for its audience, but it ran almost 100 percent of the impeachment debate.
According to a Newsbusters analysis, CNN played 33.4 percent of the Horowitz hearing and 99.9 percent of the impeachment debate. By contrast, even liberal MSNBC played 89 percent of the Horowitz hearing, while Fox News Channel played 88.7 percent.
Using C-SPAN's coverage, the Horowitz FISA hearing clocked in at 320 minutes and 37 seconds, according to Newsbusters. CNN played only 106 minutes and 56 seconds of the historic hearing.
The network ignored the opening statement of Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), only joining the hearing at 10:57 a.m. Eastern as Horowitz gave his opening statement. CNN took a six-minute commercial break at 11:50 a.m. Eastern and rejoined the hearing until its pause for lunch. Inside Politics and CNN Right Now filled their airtime with pro-FBI and anti-Trump talking points until returning to the hearing at 1:48 p.m. Eastern.

I sure enjoyed watching the Dems stick it to the Republicans late last night. The Repubs thought they were going to push the vote to occur in the middle of the night when viewers would be in bed but the Dems nipped that scheme in the bud.
Drudge is more interested on reporting that Boris Johnson won Britain with a landslide, as per his site's headline today. No headline on the vote to impeach. Interesting!! Mind you, Boris will more than likely have more of an impact in the future than the impeachment vote will have.
"For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing." Simon Wiesenthal
Now, Why Would that Be? Because the "Bobble Heads" need to be protected from what was said. Like the FISA WARRENTS used to spy on Trump by the FBI and the Democrats, the Russian Caper, was based on a bought and paid for "Dossier" Hilary Clinton PAID to have witten up, Proven to be UNTRUE, but still used by the FBI to illegally, obtain the Warrents to spy. The FBI got those warrents signed at least 3 times, Even when they knew the Dossier was total hog-wash.
So many things let loose in the Horowitz Report. That I'm sure MSM would NOT like the trained humans to know.
Oh Oh.........New York Post ? This is BIG! Did the Post willingly "spill the beans" on the Biden's and Shifty or do we have a soon to be dead reporter to deal with?
New York Post Names Alleged Ukraine 'Whistleblower,' Demands Answers on Hunter Biden
The New York Post named the suspected "whistleblower" — Eric Ciaramella — in a column published by the newspaper's editorial board and called for the partisan CIA analyst to answer questions about his knowledge regarding allegations of corruptions against former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter Biden.
In the Thursday op-ed entitled "Here's the likely whistleblower — and the questions he should answer," the Post credits journalist Paul Sperry for positing that Ciaramella is the likely "whistleblower" who, relying on second-hand information, accused President Donald Trump of attempting to pressure the leader of Ukraine to probe the Biden family in exchange for U.S. military aid. Both world leaders deny any pressure was applied and the White House released a transcript of their July 25 as evidence that no unlawful behavior occurred.
"Ciaramella has put out no statement denying these reports. Whistleblower lawyers refuse to confirm or deny Ciaramella is their man. His identity is apparently the worst-kept secret of the Washington press corps," the Post notes. "In a sign of how farcical this has become, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said his name as part of a series of names during a live hearing Wednesday night aired on television."
While several Republican lawmakers have named Ciaramella, who was reportedly the Ukraine director on the National Security Council in the early months of the Trump administration, some media outlets such as the Fox News Channel have reportedly forbidden its hosts and analysts from uttering his name. In an attempt to keep Ciaramella's identity a secret, Facebook is also systemically removing all content with the intelligence analyst's name, including Breitbart News articles, claiming they violate the social media giant's Community Standards and Policies.
The Rest of a Very "Hot" Article/COMMENTS
https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/201 ... _content=A
Be assured NO LIBERAL NETWORK (MSM) will report this. Must protect the "Bobble Heads"!
Side note : Michael Horowitz is himself an Obamie man, appointed by Obamie, unfortunately kept on by Trump. He did the best he could to continue to sheild" Hitlery Clinton" , thats pretty much out in the open, because that is the Bigest Reason we got to the "Russia, Russia, Russia" Scam was the "Fake Dossier" that Clinton bought and paid for(with the help of GPS FUSION) and John McCain sent his personal plane to pick up and deliver to the DNC. The "Dossier" is also the basis being used for the "Impeachment". Fakery , run amuck! This entire Show is for the benifit of the "Hate" tought "Bobble Heads" who are no doubt , reincarnated "Jim Jones" like, followers,who have learned nothing. Good souls put out light and "Bobble Heads" spread Darkness.
Take look, we have never experienced this type of assault on a way of life, not in our life time, in America. To me it has taken on an "Occultish" feel, with some very bizarre behavior.
Comey: 'I Was Wrong' — FBI's FISA Abuse 'Was Not Acceptable'
On this week's broadcast of "Fox News Sunday," former FBI Director James Comey said that the Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on the launch of the FBI's Russia probe's use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was unacceptable.
Comey said, "He's right. I was wrong. I was overconfident as director in our procedures of the FBI and Justice have built over 20 years years. I thought they were robust enough. It's incredibly hard to get a FISA. I was overconfident in those because he's right, there was real sloppiness — 17 things that should have been in the application or at least discussed and characterized differently. It was not acceptable, so he's right. I was wrong."

Trump family member had 'personal' relationship with dossier author Christopher Steele, report says — it may have been Ivanka
A Trump family member had a "personal" relationship with ex-British spy Christopher Steele years before he authored a controversial dossier detailing links between then-presidential contender Donald Trump and Russia, Steele told the Justice Department's internal watchdog.
Steele said he was "favorably disposed" toward the Trump family — and not remotely biased against Trump — because of his relationship with that unidentified family member, according to the report by the Inspector General of the Justice Department.
The report notes Steele said that he had even given that family member of Trump's a sentimental gift, "a family tartan from Scotland" — the homeland of Trump's late mother.
That watchdog's report was released as ABC News reported that Steele met Trump's elder daughter Ivanka Trump at a dinner in 2007 — when he was running the Russia desk of MI6, the British intelligence agency — and that the two remained in touch for some time thereafter.

It doesn't look great ,that we will be able to keep our Country and Americans safe from being Overthrown.
The Democrats are rewriting the "Charges" faster than fast. And will no doubt have their "Witness" after testifying, will jump up and become the prosecutor!
And then if it does get to the Senate , there is crooked Lindsey Graham, to deal with and Chief Justice John Roberts, that will Preside over trial. You all remember John Roberts Obamis Boy, that did some judicial magic in getting Obama Care into sort of legal form.
With the Democrats "Omissions" and Outright Lies, kinda of appears by Their Actions, that they will stop at nothing . A much needed miracle would be welcome. I don't see Democrats being struck "Hateless" any time soon. In fact there is no cure for hate ,it becomes an obsession of the mind, body and spirit, just like drugs and booze.
House Judiciary Committee Report Accuses Trump of 'Bribery,' 'Honest Services Fraud' — Not in Articles
The House Judiciary Committee's new report accompanying articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump accuses him of committing the crimes of bribery and honest services fraud, though neither is mentioned in the articles of impeachment.
The report, released Monday ahead of Wednesday's anticipated vote on impeachment, accuses Trump of violating 18 U.S.C. § 201 — federal criminal bribery — because he "demanded" an announcement of investigations, which the report describes as a thing of "value." In return, the report alleges, the president was influenced in his performance of official acts. (The report disagrees with recent Supreme Court precedent that a "meeting" is not an "official act.") In addition, the report rejects that there was "any public purpose" associated with Trump's request for investigations.
Moreover, the Judiciary Committee report adds a new, previously undebated crime — namely, honest services fraud: "In addition to committing the crime of bribery, President Trump knowingly and willfully orchestrated a scheme to defraud the American people of his honest services as President of the United States. In doing so, he betrayed his position of trust and the duty he owed the citizenry to be an honest fiduciary of their trust," the report declares.

Makes you wonder if Democrats are a bunch of Reincarnated Bolsheviks. LENIN would be so proud! In the meantime Soros money is greasing the palms of of the Dems for their "Right " Vote. Socialism has such a "Bloody Past" too bad the "Bobble Heads" have the Intellect of a piece of "drive way gravel" As this "Show" is is purely for these "Bobbel Heads", they don't even require payment, Hey! Even a Real Prostitute, gets paid.........
STUNNING! Democrats Make Up Wire Fraud Charge to "Criminally" Indict Trump — And Suggest 20 YEARS IN PRISON!
Even for Democrats!
These people are attempting a communist takeover of America!!
The House Judiciary Committee released a 169-page report in the dead of the night Monday alleging President Trump committed criminal acts including bribery and wire fraud.
As Cristina Laila reported — The report will accompany the two very broad articles of impeachment that will be voted on this week, likely on Wednesday.
Of course, they made the criminal charges up this past weekend after voting in committee on two bogus charges:
1.) Abuse of power – a very broad charge that means nothing
2.) Obstruction of Congress – a made up crime. It is something they completely made up out of whole cloth
And now Democrats are adding charges to their committee proposal.
They are completely making this up as they go along from day to day!
And the liberal Fake News media is right there with them!
We are witnessing a complete meltdown of the Democrat Party.
And the far left media hacks are RIGHT THERE WITH THEM 100%!
Liberal reporter Kyle Cheney posted the latest controversial language in the Democrat Party's sham impeachment report.
The Democrats are alleging a 20 year prison sentence for something THEY NEVER EVEN VOTED ON~~

There are many posts on this forum full of your hateful rants about Obama, or should I call him Obami as you always do. So stop with your hypocritical 'everybody else' is hateful bull$hit. You were doing this long before Trump was elected, so again please don't make me keep bringing your hypocrisy to your attention. Thank you!!!!
Mr. Impeached couldn't have been more cruel than what he said about the late John Dingell at his rally last night. It's this sort of thing that really got him impeached but he's too stupid to recognize it.
Pelosi: Trump's quip about late lawmaker cruel, 'not wit'
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that President Donald Trump's swipe at the late Rep. John Dingell during a raucous impeachment-day rally in Michigan was cruel. She added: "Let us pray. Let us pray for the president."
"What the president misunderstands is that cruelty is not wit," Pelosi told a news conference. "Just because he gets a laugh for saying the cruel things that he says doesn't mean he's funny. It's not funny at all. It's very sad."
Trump's targeting of the longtime Michigan Democrat drew a swift rebuke from his widow, who has succeeded her husband in the House.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told ABC's "Good Morning America" that Trump was "just riffing" when he spoke about Dingell at the Wednesday night rally. She said she didn't know why Trump decided to suggest that Dingell was in hell.
"You'd have to talk to the president about that," she said.

When Ian led me into the newsroom on my first day, I was overwhelmed with excitement. The newsroom is a large, modern office with huge glass windows and rows upon rows of desks. It was somewhat messier and noisier than I had anticipated, with old books and newspapers piled up on the desks and journalists having loud phone conversations in the background. Every morning began with a meeting called 'conference' - the journalists' equivalent of scientists' laboratory meetings. Representatives from the various news desks ran through what their main stories of the day were going to be, before they became 'news'.
At the science desk, I dived straight in. My first published article was a page 3 story on sperm and fertility, complete with a catchy headline. Unfortunately, I can't take credit for any of the headlines on my articles as these are usually added by the sub-editors. The science writers, including me last month, pitch ideas for stories to the commissioning editor, who in turn pitches the main ideas from the science desk during a daily meeting with other editors. Once an idea is given the greenlight, the article is written and undergoes one or more rounds of editing – including the addition of a headline - before it is filed for publication.
To look for ideas, I often used EurekAlert! - an online platform run by AAAS, which collates the newest and most exciting upcoming scientific papers under embargo at various different journals. This gives journalists a heads up, so they can start putting together a news story to be released simultaneously with the paper.

President Trump and Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders this week have the last opportunity to resuscitate the two-state solution laid out in President Bush's 2003 Roadmap adopted by the Quartet – America, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations ("Bush-Quartet Roadmap").
This can only happen if President Trump and the Congress re-affirm the commitments made to Israel by President Bush in his letter to Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dated 14 April 2004 – as overwhelmingly endorsed by the House 407-9 and the Senate 95-3 ("Bush-Congress Commitments").
The last six years have seen those negotiations teeter on the brink of total collapse because the framework for such negotiations – the Bush-Quartet Roadmap and the Bush-Congress commitments – has been successively trashed by President Obama, the European Union and the United Nations.
Obama's statement put him on a collision course with America's position as laid out in the Bush-Quartet Roadmap and the Bush-Congress Commitments.
Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had declared before an international meeting of world leaders called by President Bush in Annapolis on 27 November 2007 – including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas – that negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority would resume on the basis of UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, the Bush-Quartet Roadmap and the Bush-Congress Commitments.
Land swaps from Israel's sovereign territory for any territory Israel retained in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) was never mentioned or contemplated in the Bush-Congress Commitments or indeed the Bush-Quartet Roadmap.
Certainly Israel might decide to make land swaps if deemed to be in Israel's national interest – but that was for Israel to decide – not for Obama or Bush to influence or impose.
However those "credible proposals at Annapolis" had never suggested that the "1967 lines" and "land swaps" be the starting point for negotiations.
The Bush-Quartet Roadmap and the Bush-Congress Commitments is the only mutually agreed two-state negotiating process.
President Trump and the Congress can ensure the survival of that process – though not necessarily a successful outcome of any negotiations to be conducted under that process – by reaffirming the Bush-Congress Commitments.
Trump and the Congress in so doing would be meeting Netanyahu's expectations.
America's restored reputation for keeping agreements made with its closest allies would resonate with Trump's campaign promise to "Make America Great Again".
The only problem with this suggestion, David, is the more than possible unreliability of Donald Trump, not only due to his obvious gross ignorance of politics and international affairs, but in his propensity to evaluate and judge everything from a personal and egocentric point of view. You are dealing with a man here who appears to have no intellectual refinement, no respect for the office he holds or the legal judiciary of his country, no curiosity for other perspectives, or difference, and extreme arrogance of self that is based on notions of money (being rich) and power (that comes from that). I do not think a man of this calibre can get anywhere near 'restoring' America's reputation in regard to the keeping of agreements with allies. As for making America great again, what is really meant by that slogan? When one looks at the United States of America, its history of slavery and racism, its overt pride in itself that bred ignorance of other nations, its terrible misuse of power and its equally terrible record of interfering in the politics of other nations with its own interests in mind, its obscene concentration on Wall Street, the market place and gross consumerism, its obsession with Celebrity status of human beings, I have to ask the question, when exactly was America great in the first place?
David Singer, if you think Trump will keep his promises on Israel, I have a very nice bridge in Sydney I could sell you? President Trump, owner of America Ltd, won't last the year.


In a final rule published today in the Federal Register, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has axed the Obama-era electronic reporting of injury and illness data by employers with 250 or more employees.
The final rule applies only to OSHA Forms 300 and 301. Form 300A must still be filed electronically by all covered employers.
While the business community is largely on board with the decision to eliminate electronic reporting of the two forms, pro-labor groups are broadly opposed.
The pro-labor element sees the government shutdown as an ally. These groups have expressed concern that, since the reviewing agency — the White House's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) — carried out its review on Jan. 18, 2019, the agency may have broken the Antideficiency Law, which prohibits the government from spending if funds have not been appropriated by Congress. Indeed, the same day as the final rule Public Citizen filed suit against the change, but it was not based on a violation of the government shutdown.
Major League Baseball (MLB), which last year got Congress to pass a measure exempting major leaguers from the protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) during the regular season, is now lobbying Arizona legislators for equal protection from the law for spring training ballplayers.
The federal law — dubbed Save America's Pastime Act — was buried on page 1,967 of the 2,232-page spending bill Congress approved and President Trump signed this past spring. That bill also exempts MLB from all wage and related lawsuits not only in the present and future, but also from any originating from past events.
The key to the legislation is to exploit the "seasonal employee" exemption of the FLSA. Though it guarantees at least the minimum wage for each week of the regular season, it caps wages at 40 hours per week with no overtime available.
The Department of Labor (DOL) has revised a lawsuit against Oracle it filed in 2017 to now claim that the tech company underpaid its employees by some $400 million over a four-year period, while at the same time discriminating against females and Asians (who make up the bulk of its workforce). The department began investigating Oracle in 2014.
In its compliant DOL alleges that Oracle created two "potential pathways" for discrimination: First, it based employee's initial pay rates on prior salary; second, it channeled these employees into less lucrative career paths.
The tech giant also destroyed personnel records as its investigators moved forward in discovery process, DOL claims.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is not part of the partial government shutdown, is raising its violation penalties today in accordance with the Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act.
The unfunded Department of the Federal Register was able to publish the new fines yesterday, so that they can go into effect today.


Lille Region's new Shopping Innovation Lab (Silab) will use new technologies and the Internet to anticipate retail trends, offering a shared laboratory that companies can use to test the innovations that tomorrow's consumers will demand.
When complete, Silab will be a wide-ranging resource center offering three units for development and experimentation, a retail practices lab, and demonstration technology. These tools will be made available to researchers, companies and other players throughout the sector, with the goal of pooling resources to spark innovation and create the retail environment of tomorrow.
The Shopping Innovation Lab will be an innovation "factory"—the only one of its kind in Europe—designed to attract companies from outside the region and to strengthen Lille Region's position as a leader in connected retail. It will also help position Northern France as the Silicon Valley of retail sales and distribution. The new facility expects its services to bring in annual sales of €6.5 million.
Services could include conducting studies of data linked to customer behavior and the customer journey, enabling companies to forecast the buying experience more effectively. The new facility will also include an augmented reality showroom that can be used to test various types of décor, in addition to cutting-edge technology and an augmented reality showroom "cave"—an immersion space that will provide full-scale 3D simulations of retail settings and simulate consumer behavior and practices.
The public and private sectors have joined forces to support Silab, which will cost €4 million over ten years. The project has been selected for funding under France's Programme d'investissement d'avenir (PIA), and the new facility will be up and running by the end of 2015, occupying 1,000 sq m of renovated space in the Place building near the original EuraTechnologies building.
Picom expects to generate €30 million worth of services over ten years—an ambitious goal backed by a regional ecosystem that includes many leading companies.

Oil Prices Edge Higher
Traders adjust positions ahead of the holiday weekend after three days of declines.
TSC Staff
May 28, 2004 3:46 PM EDT
Updated from 1:29 p.m. EDT
Oil and gasoline prices rose Friday, after a three-day skid, as traders weighed signals from OPEC that the cartel may decide to raise its official production ceiling at a meeting next week.
The benchmark U.S. crude added 44 cents, or 1.2% to $39.88 in recent trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, having fallen 3% to $39.44 Thursday. That's the second time in a week prices have closed below $40 a barrel after their recent peak of almost $42. Gasoline futures shot up 5.1 cents, or 3.6%, to $1.436 a gallon after also sliding yesterday.
Although the national average retail price of gasoline is now $2.05 a gallon, up 37.5% from $1.49 a year ago, it still figures to have little impact on this holiday weekend's travel volumes, said Robert Sinclair, spokesman for the Automobile Club of New York.
National surveys forecast 37 million people would travel an average of 800 miles over the holiday, 31 million of them by car -- a 4% increase in both numbers from last year.
Sinclair said the average cost of fueling these trips was going up only $20. "It looks like all of this gloom and doom with gasoline prices and oil prices is having no effect at all on the American people's desire to hit the road," he said.
But in the market, traders Friday solidified positions in the event of any attacks on oil facilities in the Middle East during the extended holiday weekend. OPEC President Purnomo Yusgiantoro Thursday said the cartel was considering several options to cool the recent surge in prices.
The comment is the closest that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has come to indicating whether it plans to heed the calls of oil-consuming nations in the West and OPEC member Saudi Arabia to increase production to head off any potential damage to world economic growth.
Saudi Arabia -- the world's largest oil exporter -- has urged the cartel to increase output by as much as 2 million barrels a day. The kingdom has also said it plans to up its own output from 8.3 million barrels to 9.1 million barrels a day starting in June. Mexico has also indicated it will boost supply, but by a much more modest amount. Mexico, along with Norway and Russia, are among the world's biggest oil producers, but are not members of OPEC.
OPEC and some of its members had previously said they would not make any decisions on production until their regularly scheduled meeting in Beirut on June 3.
The production equation is somewhat cloudy because OPEC admits it is already producing about 2.3 million barrels a day more than its official ceiling of 23.5 million. There is also considerable debate among analysts as to whether any OPEC member other than Saudi Arabia can make a substantial production increase and sustain it over time. The comments from OPEC today indicate that one option is to raise the cartel's official ceiling to the actual level of current production.
Energy prices have repeatedly hit record highs on the New York Mercantile Exchange in the past month, with traders worried about tight supplies.
Persistent worries about attacks on facilities in the oil-rich Persian Gulf have kept oil above $40 a barrel for most of the past two weeks.


A must have for any Red Sox fan. It has held up perfectly after several years of use. It is being used on my third iPad as it is flexible enough to fit several different models of iPads. The zippers are still working great. It is well padded and has a nice outside extra pocket, where it has enough room to hold a charger, earbuds, and a couple of styluses. I get lots of comments on it and best of all it was priced well.
If you are a Duke fan you can show your fan loyalty every time you use your tablet cover. It is an ipad sleeve - but really any tablet fits in there nicely. Bought as a gift for my son in law who travels - and his tablet is safely protected. Bought this as a deal of the day - so the pricing was great also - sometimes you pay more for popular team items. I do wish there were more teams available.....would have bought one of each of my 3 brothers for Father's Day gifts.
I needed something for my iPad I ; this is great.
I have the original iPad and most of the items I look for are for the newer iPads. This fits mine very nicely and as an added bonus it has a long shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry. I wasn't looking for the college insignia, but because I went to the University of Florida for graduate school, the Gater was something extra.
I like the sleeve as it is large enough to contain my iPad with a Logitech keyboard cover attached and the zippers make it secure. I also like the accessories pocket and the attached shoulder strap. All in all, a good product for the price.
This protective bag has held up well. I have a mini ipad, so the bag is a little big for it, but I bought it because I just needed my ipad protected, and it had the Dallas Cowboys logo. I haven't had any issues with this bag...I would recommend it.
Firm fit for secure transporting table around.
What can I say, quality product with a nice logo, not much wrong with this basic sleeve, has few pockets to store pens, and very easy to tuck away some place in car truck or van.
The quality is excellent and the the side pocket is nice to carry the recharging cord. I like the adjustable strap that is used to carry it. For the money is was an excellent buy!
I love the logo and the fact that it's great for my kindle and is padded so I don't have to worry about protecting it. I love the handles and the size.
This is a great product that holds your ipad. I like the design. I like the pocket on the front so you can put a charger, or headphones in.
I was looking for a NY Yankees iPad case for quite a bit some time and found this item on best buys website. Best case for the money.
I love this bag. It has a side pocket for papers and another side (zip) pocket to keep things secure. The cushion is perfect.
Took this thing with me on a road trip. Packed a Samsung Galaxy 10" and 7", two IPod Touch and all the wires with ease.
Cool sporty bag for tablet!
This is a cool bag for a tablet. I bought it as a gift for my brother in law. It's sporty & nice!
Good quality, great for badger fans, fits great.!!
It's good sleeve for tablets. It has good protection and enough space to put cables.
Plenty room for storage and lets everyone know whom my favorite team is!
What else is there to say except, GO GATORS! Perfect case for our iPad!

The Transnational Media Corporation

The combination of international privatization trends coupled with advancements in computer and communication technology have transformed the conduct of international business. The result has been a consolidation of players in all aspects of business, including banking, aviation, insurance, and mass media. This book discusses one such player -- the Transnational Media Corporation (TNMC).
Long remembered as a time of rapid growth and expansion for international business, the decades of the '80s and '90s were a period characterized by major mergers and acquisitions. Good examples of this include Time Inc.'s 1989 merger with Warner Communication for $11.2 billion and Walt Disney's 1996 purchase of Cap Cities/ABC for $19.5 billion. According to the late Steven Ross, former co-chief executive officer of Time-Warner, "In order to succeed in business today, you must be in all the major markets of the world." TNMCs have indeed become salient features of today's global economic landscape.
This volume asks the most basic of questions: What makes a global corporation global? And, to what extent do TNMCs affect the marketplace of ideas? This book, then, is intended for the business professional or student who is interested in understanding the business and operations of transnational media.
Part I examines the regulatory and economic reasons prompting the formation of a TNMC. It seeks to explain why such companies engage in direct foreign investment and further considers how transnational operations affect the development of new media products in terms of cost, quality, and availability. The TNMC is unique among global corporations given the fact that its primary business is the creation of information and entertainment products. This book also examines the highly complex relationship between TNMCs and the host nations in which they operate. It further considers such specific issues as cultural trespass, transborder data flow, and the effects of transnational media on the marketplace of ideas.
Part II of this volume provides a series of case study analyses of five leading TNMCs including Time-Warner Inc., Sony Inc., Bertelsmann AG, the Walt Disney Company, and News Corporation Ltd. Specific attention is given to the history, business philosophy, and economic performance of each of these companies.
"…Gershon has written one of the clearest descriptions of today's TNMCs, the major influences on their operations, and their good as well as bad effects around the world."
"Overall, this is an outstanding piece of work. Professor Gershon is to be congratulated on pulling together a tremendous amount of extremely useful and hard to find information. Both experts and novices who are interested in this topic will benefit from this excellent piece of work."
—Michael O. Wirth
"This is an excellent book, scholarly to the extent it needs to be, but at the same time clearly written so that it provides an overall sense for the subject, a feeling if you will for why things are as they are."

Q: Calculate transitive closure of a relation I am trying to understand how to calculate the transitive closure of a set and I have read several times the definition of the transitive closure but I  still cannot understand some answers I see when doing questions.
From my definition, the transitive closure of a set $ R^+ $ is the smallest set that is transitive and contains R.
In this question I am doing , I am required to calculate the transitive closure of this set:
$ R = \{ (1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(4,1) \} $
My approach was to start with one pair and keep on adding the missing transitive pairs until I could find no more. This proved to be somewhat exhausting as I think I had written down about 15+ pairs before I thought that I must be doing something wrong. So I check the answer and it is given like this:
$ R o \{ (1,3),(2,4),(3,1),(4,2) \} o \{ (1,4),(2,1),(3,2),(4,3) \} o \{ (1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4) \} $
The answer does not explain how they arrived at this answer which extremely unhelpful to me. I only managed to understand that the last composition is the reflexive set of { 1,2,3,4} but I don't know where the rest is coming from?
I also worked out the final composition which turned out to be
$R^+ = \{ (1,3),(2,4),(3,1),(4,2) \}$ however I don't see how this contains R? Maybe my understanding is incorrect but does R have to be a subset of $R^+$?
Finally I drew the graph but that did not help me understand any better as there were more questions arising from this too.
Can someone please explain to me how we calculate the transitive closure of this set (and in general any set given like this) with a simple approach?

A: Lets recall the definition of transitivity. A relation $R \subseteq A \times A$ on $A$ is called transitive, if we have
$$(a,b),(b,c) \in R \Rightarrow (a,c)$$
for all $a,b,c \in A$.
Your initial set is $R = \{(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(4,1)\}$. The way you described your approach is basically the way to go. Just go through the set and if you find some $(a,b),(b,c)$ in it, add $(a,c)$.
The way the answer is given is a little bit confusing because it already tries to be explanatory :) The thing is, that they mean unions $\cup$ instead of compositions $\circ$. BUT they are writing it as a union to emphasize the steps taken in order to arrive at the solution:

*

*Step: Look at $R$. Since $(1,2),(2,3) \in R$, we need to add $(1,3)$ to the set. Analogously we have to add $(2,4),(3,1)$ and $(4,2)$. Lets call this new set $R_1$.

*Step: Now we have $R \subset R_1$, but $R_1$ is not yet transitive because $(1,3),(3,4) \in R_1$ but $(1,4)\notin R_1$. Hence, we have to add $(1,4)$ to $R_1$ and so on...

If we keep going we end up with the complete relation $R^+ = A \times A$ where $A = \{1,2,3,4\}$, i.e. $R^+$ contains ALL possible pairs of $1,2,3,4$.
By the way: I really like the idea to visualize the relation as a graph.

A: It can be shown that the transitive closure of a relation R on A which is a finite set is union of iteration R on itself |A| times.
Hence the matrix representation of transitive closure is joining all powers of the matrix representation of R from 1 to |A|.
In this example computing Powers of A from 1 to 4 and joining them together successively ,produces a matrix which has 1 at each entry.
So the transitive closure is the full relation on A given by A x A.

Estradiol #4021
Estradiol (estradiol-17 beta, E2) is part of an estrogen that is a group of steroids that regulate the menstrual cycle and function as the main female sex hormones. Estrogens are responsible for the development of female sex organs and secondary sex characteristics and are tied to the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. They are considered the main sex hormones in women and are present in small quantities in men. Estradiol (E2) is the predominant form of estrogen and is produced primarily in the ovaries with additional amounts produced by the adrenal glands in women and in the testes and adrenal glands in men. Estradiol levels are used in evaluating ovarian function. Estradiol levels are increased in cases of early (precocious) puberty in girls and gynecomastia in men. Its main use has been in the differential diagnosis of amenorrhea – for example, to determine whether the cause is menopause, pregnancy, or a medical problem. In assisted reproductive technology (ART), serial measurements are used to monitor follicle development in the ovary in the days prior to in vitro fertilization. Estradiol is also sometimes used to monitor menopausal hormone replacement therapy.
IGF-I, LC/MS #16293
Also known as: IGF-1, IGFI LCMS, Insulin-Like Growth Factor, Insulin-like Growth Factor - 1, Somatomedin C, Somatomedin-C
Igf I, LC/MS
The insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) test is an indirect measure of the average amount of growth hormone (GH) being produced by the body. IGF-1 and GH are polypeptide hormones, small proteins that are vital for normal bone and tissue growth and development. GH is produced by the pituitary gland, a grape-sized gland located at the base of the brain behind the bridge of your nose. GH is secreted into the bloodstream in pulses throughout the day and night with peaks that occur mostly during the night. IGF-1 is produced by the liver and skeletal muscle as well as many other tissues in response to GH stimulation. IGF-1 mediates many of the actions of GH, stimulating the growth of bones and other tissues and promoting the production of lean muscle mass. IGF-1 mirrors GH excesses and deficiencies, but its level is stable throughout the day, making it a useful indicator of average GH levels.
Z Score (Female)
z Score. A z-score (aka, a standard score) indicates how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. A z-score can be calculated from the following formula. z = (X - µ) / s where z is the z-score, X is the value of the element, µ is the population mean, and s is the standard deviation.
Pregnenolone, LC/MS/MS #31493
Also known as: Pregnenolone LCMSMS
Prolactin #746
Also known as: PRL
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the anterior portion of the pituitary gland, a grape-sized organ found at the base of the brain. Prolactin secretion is regulated and inhibited by the brain chemical dopamine. Normally present in low amounts in men and non-pregnant women, prolactin's primary role is to promote lactation (breast milk production). Prolactin levels are usually high throughout pregnancy and just after childbirth. During pregnancy, the hormones prolactin, estrogen, and progesterone stimulate breast milk development. Following childbirth, prolactin helps initiate and maintain the breast milk supply. If a woman does not breastfeed, her prolactin level soon drops back to pre-pregnancy levels. If she does nurse, suckling by the infant plays an important role in the release of prolactin. There is a feedback mechanism between how often the baby nurses and the amount of prolactin secreted by the pituitary as well as the amount of milk produced. Another common cause of elevated prolactin levels is a prolactinoma, a prolactin-producing tumor of the pituitary gland. Prolactinomas are the most common type of pituitary tumor and are usually benign. They develop more frequently in women but are also found in men. Problems resulting from them can arise both from the unintended effects of excess prolactin, such as milk production in the non-pregnant woman (and rarely, man) and from the size and location of the tumor. If the anterior pituitary gland and/or the tumor enlarge significantly, it can put pressure on the optic nerve, causing headaches and visual disturbances, and it can interfere with the other hormones that the pituitary gland produces. In women, prolactinomas can cause infertility and irregularities in menstruation; in men, these tumors can cause a gradual loss in sexual function and libido. If left untreated, prolactinomas may eventually damage the tissues around them.
PSA Total #5363

Psa, Total
PSA stands for prostate-specific antigen. It is a protein produced by prostate cells. The PSA test is done to help diagnose and follow prostate cancer in men.

The free T4 test is not affected by protein levels. Since free T4 is the active form of thyroxine, the free T4 test is may be a more accurate reflection of thyroid hormone function.
Urinalysis (UA), Complete #5463

Also known as: UA, Complete, Urinalysis UA Complete, Urine Analysis, Complete
Amorphous Sediment
Bacteria are living things that have only one cell. Most bacteria won't hurt you - less than 1 percent of the different types make people sick. Many are helpful. Some bacteria help to digest food, destroy disease-causing cells, and give the body needed vitamins. But infectious bacteria can make you ill. They reproduce quickly in your body. Many give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Examples of bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli.
Calcium Oxalate Crystals
Calcium oxalate is a chemical compound that forms envelope-shaped crystals. A major constituent of human kidney stones.
Urinary casts are cylindrical structures produced by the kidney and present in the urine in certain disease states. They form in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts of nephrons, then dislodge and pass into the urine, where they can be detected by microscopy.
Abnormal crystals may appear in urine as a result of pathology or due to normal catabolism
Granular Cast
The second-most common type of cast, granular casts can result either from the breakdown of cellular casts or the inclusion of aggregates of plasma proteins (e.g., albumin) or immunoglobulin light chains. Depending on the size of inclusions, they can be classified as fine or coarse, though the distinction has no diagnostic significance. Their appearance is generally more cigar-shaped and of a higher refractive index than hyaline casts. While most often indicative of chronic renal disease, these casts, as with hyaline casts, can also be seen for a short time following strenuous exercise
Hyaline Cast
Urinary casts are tiny tube-shaped particles. Urinary casts may be made up of white blood cells, red blood cells, kidney cells, or substances such as protein or fat. The most common type of cast, hyaline casts are solidified Tamm-Horsfall mucoprotein secreted from the tubular epithelial cells of individual nephrons. Low urine flow, concentrated urine, or an acidic environment can contribute to the formation of hyaline casts, and, as such, they may be seen in normal individuals in dehydration or vigorous exercise. Hyaline casts are cylindrical and clear, with a low refractive index,
Ketones are substances produced in the liver when fat cells break down in the blood. A serum ketone test is a measurement of how many ketones are in the blood.
Leukocyte Esterase
Leukocyte esterase is a urine test to look for white blood cells and other signs associated with infection.
Occult Blood
The test looks for hidden (occult) blood in a specimen sample. It can find blood even if you cannot see it yourself.
Level of acid
Body fluids contain many different proteins that serve diverse functions such as transport of nutrients, removal of toxins, control of metabolic processes, and defense against invaders. Protein electrophoresis is a method for separating these proteins based on their size and electrical charge. When body fluids are separated by electrophoresis, they form a characteristic pattern of bands of different widths and intensities, reflecting the mixture of proteins present. This pattern is divided into five fractions, called albumin, alpha 1, alpha 2, beta, and gamma. In some cases, the beta fraction is further divided into beta 1 and beta 2. Albumin, which is produced in the liver, accounts for about 60% of the protein in the blood. "Globulins" is a collective term used to refer to proteins other than albumin. With the exception of the immunoglobulins and some complement proteins, most of the globulins are also produced in the liver. Immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) is a method used to identify abnormal bands seen on serum, urine, or CSF protein electrophoresis, as to which type of antibody (immunoglobulin) is present.
RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen. How much oxygen your body tissues get depends on how many RBCs you have and how well they work.
Reducing Substances
Renal Epithelial Cells
Squamous Epithelial Cells
Transitional Epithelial
Triple Phosphate Crystals
Struvite stones (triple phosphate/magnesium ammonium phosphate) - about 10–15% of urinary calculi are composed of struvite (ammonium magnesium phosphate, NH4MgPO4·6H2O).[44] Struvite stones (also known as "infection stones", urease or triple-phosphate stones), form most often in the presence of infection by urea-splitting bacteria
Uric Acid Crystals
WBCs help fight infections. They are also called leukocytes. There are five major types of white blood cells: basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes (T cells and B cells), monocytes and neutrophils
Candida is the scientific name for yeast. It is a fungus that lives almost everywhere, including in your body. Usually, your immune system keeps yeast under control. If you are sick or taking antibiotics, it can multiply and cause an infection.


Our company was founded in 1993 as a family enterprise. All of us have already worked in textile factories, so we had enough experiences to start our own business. In the begining we only produced simple unicolor men's socks and dotted ladies socks with 4 Irmac Special mechanical knitting machines. This was our past.
Development on the field of textile business is indispensable, so we have bougth our first high-tech, computer controlled Lonati knitting machine. From this point we are able to make socks with any kind of patterns, which is needed if we would like to follow the fast changing fashion. Our machine stock is growing day by day, so we are trying to make suitable products for people from all ages with our varied, special, comfortable, happy, sporty and fashionable socks.
Our products are made by only first-class qualified materials to guarantee the best quality. Socks producing is a highly needlework needed process, which means that every product goes trough 8 different working processes to get ready. However, we have a very skillful and diligent team with familiar atmosphere.
Word Perla means pearl, which menas value for a lot of people. We would like that if our trade mark - our product - would mean a reliable and an affordable hungarian product for everyone.

Q: Double click in Firefox: Select whole path, dont't stop at slash If I double click on "bar" in a path like "/foo/bar" in firefox only "bar" gets selected. In gnome terminal it works the way I like it: the whole path gets selected.
How can I modify firefox to select the whole path?

A: There is a setting "layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation".
The default is "true". If you set it to "false". Now double click won't stop at underscores or slashes.
Set it like this: type about:config in the address bar, hit [ENTER]. Then enter the first chars of the variable, modify it, done.
You can change this setting in thunderbird like this:

The craft of writing is fascinating, at times unfathomable, but when writers hone their skills, the story shines through with no distractions. Readers lose themselves in the fascinating web the writer spins, soaking in page after page in an alternate world. Think of quality craft as freshly cleaned glass that showcases the scenery and action on the other side of a window. And consider poor craft as smudges, cracks, and fingerprints all over that glass, distracting from what readers want to enjoy--your characters and story.
Given that the Rogue Women Writers write international thrillers, one of the key elements of craft is pacing. The story must churn at an exciting pace that grabs readers. When you drill down, what exactly does pacing mean?
*The rhythm or underlying beat of your story.
*The rate at which your novel unfolds--talented writers can manipulate time in readers' minds.
*The way writers structure their novels to engage reader's feelings, eliciting different emotions at different times.
Pacing is a nebulous concept that requires intuition and a keen sense of perception. There is no surefire formula to determine the perfect pace. A combination of a natural ear and plenty of practice at conveying what that nature ear "hears" is necessary in developing your writing voice. And faster isn't always better. Vary the pace and give readers time to develop their emotional response. Pacing is not measured in how many events you can cram into a novel. Rather, it is measured in the reader's emotional involvement in your characters.
*Check the left margin of your text. Do yo have a variety of paragraph lengths? Is there enough white space or is the page smattered in ink? If your narrative is too dense, break up paragraphs or add in dialogue.
*Be sure you don't have repetitive sentence structures. A quick way to breathe life into your story is to vary your sentences lengths.
*Read your novel out loud. Does it sound slow, heavy, and overly description to your ear, or is the description so light that you aren't sure where the characters are? Adjust as necessary.
Once you decide whether you need to slow down or speed up your pace, you're ready to tackle rewrites.
Too many fast-paced scenes will leave your reader breathless, exhausted. You need to build in breaks to create a different mood. Transition readers to a calmer place so they can regroup for the next tense scene.
*Use longer sentences and paragraphs.
*Include a dash of passive tense. Warning: do not overdo.
*Focus on flow and rhythm, rather than speed.
*Add descriptions steeped in sensory input, rich in texture and sound. Create a powerful setting where readers can lose themselves.
*Choose soft-sounding, mellow verbs like saunter, undulate, meander to create tranquility for the reader.
*Switch to a new viewpoint. This slows the pacing because readers are faced with a new set of possibilities and a fresh situation through new eyes.
*Increase the amount of dialogue, as this creates white space on the page.
*Write lean, sparse prose. Avoid adjectives, adverbs, and long sentences. Short words convey tension.
*Add in harsh words to create a staccato rhythm.
*Use sentence fragments to create a sense of urgency. Focus on the mood you want to create.
*Give your character tunnel vision, shutting out everything but the imminent threat.
You can also increase the pacing of your novel through plot devices: using red herrings to create false leads, supporting the main threat with a number of smaller threats that can be resolved, including a time constraint (two minutes to diffuse a bomb), increasing your protagonist's obstacles, raising the stakes, killing off secondary characters.
Pacing issues are systemic, meaning they affect the entire book, so take your time and focus on fixing them. Readers won't continue turning pages if the pacing is off, whether too fast or too slow. Too fast, and you lose emotional connectivity with the reader. Too slow, and you might bore them, make them restless. One of the best ways to develop an ear for pacing is to read voraciously with a keen eye as to your reaction to other books' pacing. Then internalize what you have learned and apply it to your book.
Talented author Lee Child shares the following advice on pacing: make the fast parts slow and the slow parts fast. Advice from a pro that we should all live by. Thanks for joining us today. Would love to hear how a book's pacing affecting your impression of the read.
You've packed an incredible amount of first-rate advice into one post, KJ. Fabulous insight and practical ways to improve one's writing. Thank you!
What a terrific summary of writing points, K. J. Pacing is indeed so important, and your suggestion about reading the work out loud is always a great idea to see if the dialogue sounds "real" or "contrived." I am getting a good insight into your writing style from you new novel, THE FREEDOM BROKER -- I was able to snag an advance copy...it's a great thriller, and I hope many other readers will pre-order this great story!
Thanks for the kind words about the article, Gayle. I love studying the craft of writing, a lifelong journey.
Thanks, Karna, so pleased you are enjoying THE FREEDOM BROKER. I'm going through final edits now, and I'm still learning a ton. Craft needs to be honed and honed. That's what I love about writing. We never stop learning.
Love this article. So many books have a few smudges and cracks. Practice in writing as well as reading are our biggest tools!! I love this line, KJ: Pacing is a nebulous concept that requires intuition and a keen sense of perception.
What a great collection of practical tips, delivered at break neck speed. Invaluable advice. The number one reason I loose interest in a book is that it is too slow. Pacing is so crucial to success.
Love these tips. The idea of leaving white space is a great way to explain it. I'll be using these!
I just finished my revision for RED SKY, the second in my new thriller series and pacing was something I had to focus on. Making sure to start slow and build. Loved these tips, too. Thanks, K.J.

Team Croydex counts down to Tough Sh!t challenge
Croydex is counting down to October's Tough Sh!t challenge which sees its 11-strong team of runners tackle a 10K toilet-themed obstacle course to fundraise for WaterAid.
Employees from the Andover-based bathroom accessories specialist hope to raise £2,500, which will go towards installing toilets in communities currently without this basic facility.
"It's a shocking fact that 2.5 billion people worldwide don't have access to a decent toilet," explains croydex retail commercial manager, Dominick McHarg, who is taking part in the challenge.
"Many have no choice but to go in the open, which can be embarrassing and also spread diseases. We believe we have a wider responsibility to help communities across the world suffering from a lack of water and sanitation.
"That is why we are supporting WaterAid and we hope our fundraising efforts will make a profound difference to the lives of people who are otherwise deprived of something as simple as safe toilet facilities."
Tough Sh!t features 20 toilet-themed obstacles, including the Toilet Toil, the Floaters and the Porta Slide. The challenge takes place on 15th October in Surrey.
You can support the Croydex team by making an online donation (all money raised will go to WaterAid) on the JustGiving page:

Our last night and dinner in Naples prior to returning north we chose Ocean Prime. Our previous experience was wonderful and this time lived up to our expectations. Our server was great and very considerate and helpful. The food was excellent as usual, ambience was great. Even the bar manager came over and checked with us to make sure all was good. It is a bit pricey in season (have not eaten there out of season) but this has clearly become our new favorite restaurant in Naples. Looking forward to next season!
Great food. We had a seafood salad and beef tartare as starters. My husband had scallops and I had the grouper both excellent. Finished up with chocolate peanut butter cake. Yum!
Consistently excellent food and service, which is really hard to achieve in Naples' restaurants.
Service could have been better. Our waiter did not come to our table much, was more focused on other tables. We sat with our cleared plates for 10 minutes and waited a long time for a dessert menu. We left without getting dessert because the service took too long.
We had a wonderful dinner. All was great!!!
Ocean Prime it's an excellent restaurant for Naples standards. There is one other restaurant in town that does have a larger variety and better quality of steak. But the service is excellent and other than the steaks the rest of the food is great quality and fresh. We love the variety and flavors of the al la carte dishes available at Ocean Prime. Yes excellent desserts too!

St. Nicholas was not one of our great warrior saints like St. Demetrius or St. George. He wasn't one of our intellectual, theologian saints like the Cappadocians. He was simply a saint who made sure that, to the best of his abilities, everyone under his care had a place to sleep and food to eat.
When someone comes to you in need, the first and only thing you're to think of is the vulnerable and potentially humiliating position this human being has put himself in by needing and asking for your help. You're not to think of how much you can give or how much he needs. Or if "he's gonna spend it on drugs." You're to keep him from feeling humiliated with whatever you can. That's all.
My favorite St. Nicholas story — and probably the one that Santa Claus has its roots in — is how he went secretly to the home of the three daughters of a poor man at night and left them three bags of gold through the window so that they would have dowries and be able to marry. He didn't rail against the dowry system; he didn't get off on his ideological correctness, like those anti-tipping assholes in New York who leave their waiter a little card explaining that tipping in the restaurant industry is exploitative, drafting the hapless kid into their cause by depriving him of income and not leaving him anything except the little card. He simply gave three poor sisters what they needed so that they could survive in the world. And we can talk ideology and exploitation later.

A clean, smooth adaptation of the magnificent gothic types used by Johann Fust and Peter Schöffer in their famous Mainz Psalter (Psalterium Moguntinum) of 1457, also used in their Canon of the Mass (Canon Missae) of 1458, and in their Benedictine Psalter (Psalterium Benedictinum) of 1459. [Although these works were published after Gutenberg's break with Fust, it is generally agreed that Gutenberg was working along with Fust and Schöffer on the Mainz Psalter while the 42-line Bible was still being printed.] In addition to the usual standard characters for typesetting modern texts, the font includes a comprehensive set of special characters, uncial initials (adapted from both the Mainz Psalter and early sixteenth-century Dutch types by Henric Pieterszoon), alternates and ligatures, plus Opentype features, that can be used for typesetting (almost) exactly as in the Mainz Psalter and later incunabula.
The main historical sources used during the font design process were high-resolution scans from the copy of the Mainz Psalter preserved at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Vienna (the only copy whose colophon includes the famous printer's mark of Fust and Schöffer). Other sources were as follows: Masson, I. (1954), The Mainz Psalters and Canon Missae, 1457-59, London: Printed for the Bibliographical Society; Kapr, A. (1996), Johann Gutenberg - The Man and his Invention, Aldershot: Scolar Press (ch. 8); Füssel, S. (2005), Gutenberg and the impact of printing, Burlington: Ashgate (ch. 1); and Man, J. (2009), The Gutenberg Revolution, London: Bantam (ch. 8).
Specimen, detailed character map, OpenType features, and font samples available at Alter Littera's The Oldtype "Psalterium" Font Page.
Note: Several uncial initials in The Oldtype "Psalterium" Font have been derived from corresponding characters in The Initials "Gothic C" Font, adjusting them to cope with the special (large) x-height and letter spacing of the Psalterium font (so the two sets of initials are not directly interchangeable).
