The Dr. Rath Research Institute is an international research facility in the area of scientifically based natural medicine. The research conducted at this institute has confirmed a new understanding about the development of cardiovascular disease and the causes of cancer and other common diseases.
Founded in 1999, the Dr. Rath Research Institute has become a pioneer in researching micronutrients, in particular their regulatory function in cell metabolism—hence the name "Cellular Medicine". A large number of scientific publications document the scope and significance of our research. All publications can be found on the Institute website or on PubMed, the world's largest medical online library.
In the area of cardiovascular disease it has been shown that the main cause of arteriosclerosis is a weakened arterial wall due to chronic micronutrient deficiency. This finding calls into question the prevailing cholesterol hypothesis.
In cancer research, tests with over 50 different cancer cell lines have proven that a specific combination of micronutrients is able to inhibit the spread of cancer cells.
In the area of infectious diseases, it has been shown that specific micronutrient combinations are more effective in inhibiting bacteria of the Borrelia type (Lyme disease) than antibiotics.
In all these studies, the selection and testing of micronutrients played a special role, revealing in particular the principle of synergy—the mutually reinforcing interaction of individual components. This principle is evidenced by the results of numerous test series and scientific studies.
The scientific findings of Cellular Medicine research also form an essential basis for the development of high-quality and effective health products that are available as part of the Dr. Rath Cellular Nutrient Program.
The Dr Rath organization is a non-profit company/foundation. Therefore, all profits from the sale of the Dr Rath formulas are used solely to finance the scientific research at our Institute. In this way, every customer who buys a product from our company simultaneously promotes further natural health research.

The Big Lie is a killer
Date: March 2, 2021Author: Rob Archer
The Big Lie, which led to a violent and deadly insurrection in Washington DC on January 6, is that the election was "stolen" from Donald Trump. Trump and his supporters have employed many lies in support of the one Big Lie.
The Big Lie was meant to allow Trump to hold onto power. When that didn't work, rather than distance themselves from him, the Republican Party adopted the Big Lie for its use: selling the idea that the election was so corrupt a massive effort must be expended to make voting "more secure." Of course, the voters primarily affected by this effort will be Democrats, liberals, and minority groups. The idea is to make voting hard enough that Republicans won't lose elections just because the majority of Americans don't support them.
The Big Lie tactic has a very bloody history. It was used by the burgeoning Nazi movement to gain influence and power in Germany throughout the 1920s. It eventually led to the deaths of millions, wholesale murder on an industrial scale, and the near-total destruction of a large part of Europe.
Adolf Hitler understood the power of the Big Lie and why it was so effective. The idea is to make the lie so big that people would assume it was true because who would tell such a massive falsehood? As he wrote, "It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation."
What was the Big Lie in Germany? Immediately after the loss of World War 1, a loss that many Germans could not accept, it was this: Germany didn't lose; it was "stabbed in the back."
From "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer:
The legend was fraudulent. General Ludendorff, the actual leader of the High Command, had insisted on September 28, 1918, on an armistice "at once," and his nominal superior, Field Marshal von Hindenburg, had supported him. […] Hindenburg flatly stated that the military situation made it imperative "to stop the fighting." No mention was made of any "stab in the back." Only later did Germany's great war hero subscribe to the myth.
In a hearing before the Committee of Inquiry of the National Assembly on November 18, 1919, a year after the war's end, Hindenburg declared, "As an English general has very truly said, the German Army was 'stabbed in the back.'" In point of fact, the civilian government headed by Prince Max of Baden, which had not been told of the worsening military situation by the High Command until the end of September, held out for several weeks against Ludendorff's demand for an armistice.
One had to live in Germany between the wars to realize how widespread was the acceptance of this incredible legend by the German people. The facts which exposed its deceit lay all around. The Germans of the Right would not face them. The culprits, they never ceased to bellow, were the "November criminals"—an expression which Hitler hammered into the consciousness of the people.
Later, "November criminals" came to include not just the Weimar Republic, but all supporters of democracy, socialists, labor unionists, and others. And behind them all, in Nazi thinking, were the Jews. It was the Jews, the Nazis held, who were responsible for World War 1 itself. Later, Hitler even blamed World War 2, a war he started, on the Jews.
Today we see more lies being compounded on the Big Lie of a "stolen election." Certain Republican Senators, like Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, blame the insurrection on "antifa." Also, the violence that day was somehow the fault of Nancy Pelosi.
The pump is being primed for more insurrection, violence, and death. The Big Lie Hitler told took hold and began to be accepted as a historical fact. Already we see the same thing happening here as legislators around the country use the Big Lie as an excuse to restrict voting rights.
And for what else will it be used? It makes me shudder to think how Big Lies can so easily take hold among people who have lost the very concept of verifiable fact.

Apparently, there are worse situations than wishing you wore an outfit with a matte purple lipstick rather than sticking to your good ol' glazed beige lipstick. (Haha, ew! Who wears that nowadays?) But honestly, I just couldn't think of any, most especially when my tagged photos from five years ago are still coming back to haunt me. So here, I've done all the dirty work and rummaged around the web to bring you the coolest outfit and lip color pairings, featuring the 7 new shades of NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil*. Hopefully, in the next five years, this outfit remains cool so you won't have to search Google how to un-tag a photo.
Red lip? Put on your striped Breton top and a pair of your good ol' jeans. Easy peasy. But wait, who are you kidding? Leave that to the French and the wannabe French. A bright coral lip deserves an equally bold outfit.
I love taking cues from Pandora Sykes, a modern day sartorial icon of fun, fab and cool in one. She wore a full bright red ensemble which she wore with — you guessed it — a bold red lip, and accessorized it with red beaded flamenca earrings and a cup of coffee in one hand. God, this lady is so cool. But for those who aren't ready to risk looking like just another bold red lip pencil in human form, you can swap the red pants with a pair of mom jeans.
Jeanne Damas may be the ultimate French girl. She likes wearing nothing with a pair of jeans, flowy dresses and everything that screams Parisian. But the idea of taking her red carpet style to my upcoming tropical vacation gives me butterflies. That said, I shall begin with this navy OTS summer dress.
Get Off is the 'your lips but better' kind of shade. It's the shade for the baby girl in you. Baby girl but badass if you wear it a la Alexa Chung in this denim romper. But here's the crucial part: if you're wearing the sleeveless variety of the denim romper, forget about it altogether. That's not the look we're going for. We want to go for the rough rider's daughter look — one who got her mom's softheartedness and her dad's tough demeanor.
I also love how Bella Hadid made the pink beige lip color look so glamorous, filthy expensive and smoking hot with the silk white co-ord. But there again, this is Bella Hadid we're talking about.
WARNING: Lonely Heart is not for the faint-hearted. When I tried this on for the first time, I wanted a muted brown lip; after all it was a day I know I'm only gonna spend eating juicy burger and fries, and shopping for my summer trip. So I went on and on; until I've put on the second coat, and boy was it soooo dark and bold... AND BEAUTIFUL!!! What was in my mind that moment, however, was actually: should I change? But didn't anyway because I didn't have the time.
It wasn't so hard to find an outfit inspiration for this shade because I know Rihanna wears it like it's a typical lip color every person in the world can pull off. News flash: it's not; and in fact, it can change people's opinion of you from "ya she's kinda cute" to "what did she eat an entire 14-inch dark chocolate cake before coming here."
This chocolate brown lip color entails a certain posh factor to get the look right. Our bad gal fella here wore a pink gingham suit and skirt set. She looked 30% posh, 70% badass, as usual. Sometimes it makes me wonder: what makes bad gal riri so bad? Is it her tan? Her flair for accessorizing? Her tattoos? I mean, have you seen her underboob tattoo? Is she even real???
And so we've arrived at my most favorite part. It was love at first sight with this shade. This chestnut rose shade is naughty and/or nice, sugar and/or spice — it totally depends on how you wear it. I've worn this with a white tank top and jogger pants from the men's section because I am very modern and think clothing has no gender. Just kidding, I just loved how comfortable they fit. They're Abercrombie & Fitch, btw.
When sportswear became a trend, I told myself "finally a trend that I like." Not because of some baloney fashion editors would say, but because who the hell doesn't want to be out and about (may or may not be at an afternoon tea) in her sports bra, blazer, trousers and sneakers?
The oversized blazer + (sports bra + leggings [both black]) outfit formula is something I'd wear again and again, as also seen on Ana Prodanovich. She is the kind of girl who has an entire drawer of lipsticks that are almost the same shade, methinks. I've never seen her wear pinks, reds or brights on the lips as it's probably too girly-girl for her liking. Which makes her an easy target for me to take an outfit inspiration from, albeit the sea of Insta-girls who wear the same shade of lip color all the time.
I've always followed Susie Lau (Style Bubble) since the beginning, but think her style is a little bit over the top — print on print, texture on texture, volume on volume, and sometimes all these in one outfit. She's fearless when it comes to mixing pieces whatever other people might say against her strange sartorial concoction.
If I can personify this lip color, Susie Lau is just it. It's bold but still wearable, and only people who know exactly what they want to see can appreciate the beauty of it. Plus, she knows exactly how to rock it in — I guess, we can call this the Susie Lau minimalism (because is this the most minimal she can be?) — white crisp button-down and black FW 2009 Prada sleeveless coat.
If there's any lip color that quintessentially screams summer, it's this vivid pink. What better way to wear it than with an equally vivid yellow cold shoulder top as donned by Brittany aka Thrifts and Threads. Is it just me or does everyone call a blogger by their blog name IRL and not their actual given name?
I love this post! All the colors are so pretty!


Bob Oswald took the pastorate of Grace Baptist Church of Delta in July of 2018. Before that he spent five years as the full-time youth and assistant pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Farmington, New Mexico.
Grace Kids is a ministry of Grace Baptist Church that meets on Tuesday afternoon for children in Kindergarten through 6th grade. Please note this ministry follows the school schedule, meeting only on school days.
In striving to fulfill the Great Commission, Grace Baptist Church supports lifetime missionaries both in the United States and around the world through financial contributions and faithful prayer.
Camp Utibaca is a ministry associated with Grace Baptist Church of Delta and located in Ephraim, Utah.
Grace Baptist Church was founded in Delta following some evangelistic meetings initiated by Wally Higgins. The first official church service was held on July 12th, 1983. Pastor Dennis Cason took the pastorate in January of 1984, and served until he retired in January of 2015. Tim Feldman served as the pastor from then until August of 2016. Pastor Cason and his wife Gayle are still actively attending Grace Baptist Church, and Pastor Cason teaches a Sunday School class at First Baptist Church in Nephi, Utah. Tim Feldman now serves as an assistant pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Elko, Nevada. A number of godly men filled the pulpit in the interim between Pastor Feldman and Pastor Oswald, and the trustees saw to the continuing business of the church. What is now the church building has been in the past a mechanic garage, a Mexican restaurant, and a daycare; and once it was purchased by the church it also housed a Christian school for a number of years. We praise God for what He has been doing in our little corner of the West, and pray for the ongoing work yet to be done!

Swedish election hands opportunity for pro-Putin Eurosceptics
Victory for a far-right Eurosceptic party today could push Stockholm closer to Moscow
Matthew Campbell, Stockholm
September 9 2018, 12:01am, The Sunday Times
Jimmie Akesson, Sweden's far-right leader, with his girlfriend Louise ErixonKaren Tornblom/TT
As if Europe did not have enough to worry about, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, may be the biggest winner in Sweden's election today when a far-right party of Eurosceptics is expected to gain at least a fifth of the vote in this northern outpost of the EU.
Polls put the Sweden Democrats, an anti-immigrant party with roots in neo-Nazism and sympathies for Moscow, in second or even first place, giving it a force that some fear could tilt the Nordic nation away from the Nato alliance and into Russia's embrace.
Although not a Nato member, Sweden warmly supports the alliance and its forces will take part in the organisation's Trident Juncture war games with America and Britain that begin in Norway next month — unless…

The Man Who Liberated the Republican Party
Paul WaldmanJun 10, 2019
Amid the daily horrors emanating from the White House, one symbolically important one may have missed your notice. Donald Trump recently decided to bestow the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Arthur Laffer, perhaps the single most discredited economist in America. Here's how the proclamation described him: Arthur B. Laffer, the "Father of Supply-Side Economics," is one of the most influential economists in American history. He is renowned for his economic theory, the "Laffer Curve," which establishes the strong incentive effects of lower tax rates that spur investment, production, jobs, wages, economic growth, and tax compliance. That's basically true, if you define "renowned" as "notorious" and "establishes" as "misleadingly asserts." But about Laffer's influence there is no doubt. For his service to the Republican Party, he certainly deserves any award the GOP can offer. Because what he really...
Why 2020 Is Starting to Feel Like 2004
On March 15, 2003, Governor Howard Dean of Vermont, at the time a decidedly second-tier presidential candidate, took the stage at the convention of the California Democratic Party. The first thing he said, to a thunderous cheer, was this: "What I want to know is what in the world so many Democrats are doing supporting the president's unilateral intervention in Iraq." He then ran through a litany of his party's failures to stand up to George W. Bush and the GOP, and finished with a rhetorical flourish that instantly made him a serious contender: "I'm Howard Dean, and I'm here to represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party." While Dean didn't win the nomination, his candidacy shone a bright light on the way Democrats had become timid and fearful, always worrying that if they were too clear in their criticism of the war or the administration that the public would reject them. More important, he showed how disgusted so many in the...
Nihilist-in-Chief
Paul WaldmanMay 26, 2019
Last week, the House Intelligence Committee released transcripts of testimony by Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to Donald Trump and current guest of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. In it, Cohen describes how one of his tasks as an employee of the future president was to stiff people who had done work for the Trump Organization, on his boss' personal instruction. "Some of the things that I did was reach out to individuals, whether it's law firms or small businesses, and renegotiate contracts after the job was already done, or basically tell them that we just weren't paying at all, or make them offers of, say, 20 cents on the dollar," he said. Cohen expressed remorse for his involvement in this combination of scam and strongarming, saying that as a result of Trump's refusal to pay people who didn't have the wherewithal to fight a wealthy developer, "many of these folks, you know, lost everything." That Trump did business this way is not...
We're In an Abortion Emergency. Democrats Need to Act Like It.
As Donald Trump seized control of the Republican Party in 2016, many doubted that the conservative white evangelicals who make up such a key part of the party's base would rally behind him. Could they put aside their supposed concern for traditional morality and support a con man who cheated on all his many wives and bragged about his ability to commit sexual assault with impunity? The answer, praise be to the heavens, was an enthusiastic yes. What they understood, and some observers didn't, was that the arrangement was purely transactional: They'd give him their votes, and he'd give them pretty much whatever policies they asked for. And what they wanted more than anything else was judges, from the lowliest district court all the way up to the Supreme Court. Judges who would say it's OK to discriminate if you do it in the name of a Christian god, judges who would countenance attacks on voting rights or equality, and above all, judges who would be ready to...
Trump's Fate Is in Democrats' Hands
In that long period when we were waiting for Robert Mueller to produce his final report on the Russia scandal, many Democrats got caught up in their hopes for both what it would reveal and what the result would be. Once Mueller laid out all the facts about President Trump's behavior both during and after the election, the truth would be impossible to deny, they believed. Impeachment would become almost an inevitability, and even many of Trump's supporters would finally realize just how awful this president is. His support would nosedive. Of course, that's not what happened. The report did indeed lay out all manner of crimes and misdeeds, many of which were committed by the president himself. But Republicans whipped themselves into a frenzy of denial and disinformation, helped enormously by the attorney general Trump installed in his position precisely because he had made clear that he would work to protect the president from all political harm. And in the end, Trump...


Discussion in 'Introductions' started by Sheepdog, Dec 18, 2008.
Just been told about this site by TeamZ.
use to do target shooting in my teens. too many yrs ago to remember. When I left home for work, my Parents somehow managed to misplace my rifle.
After been working hard over the yrs, As all of us, I did not have time, with family etc to do anything about shooting.
Now, with the "recesion" I have a bit more time, to do what I want.
So back to shooting, got myself a second hand Webley Stingray, webley scope.
Checked the one's I have with a Chrono. closest variation was 0.36 Ft/lbs over 5 shots Next closest 1.6. Max variation just over 2. OK so only over 5 shots, but.
I think I will stick with the closest. H&N FTT Just in case any one wondering. Others tried AA, RWS, Accupell And the worst one, Which, by the way were recommended for the rifle by the dealer, Pointer by Lanes of York, They are, (sorry about this), Rubbish. Just to look at them, Very Dull Grey, the others a bright Grey.
Will have to use them up plinking in the garden, or, melt them down, scrap lead.
Now I can think about zeroing my scope, Firing right and high. Always fired right, so I think someone set it up with windage.
Trying to find more about FT, rather than just plinking. Hope to be here for some time, I have not retired YET.
Although the other half says I might as well have, with what work I do.
Don't ask me any questions though, I might shout at you and make you feel inadequate.

In 2017, it is easy to see why Paddy Power would be one of the most recognized names in the betting industry. Established in 1988 with the union of three Irish bookmakers, the company has gone on to gain wide success and praise, as well as multiple awards.
It is undeniable that Paddy Power has used the Irish charm to its benefit, but also provided special offers like the 'Money Back Special', which partly revolutionized the industry when they allowed customers to get their money back even before the matches ended. This mobile betting app seeks to further establish Paddy Power as one of the most important names in the business.
Paddy Power can say, without a trace of doubt, that they are one of the most popular gambling sites in all the UK.

There is also a 'Tips' section which will come quite in handy when it comes to race cards. To make it even more futuristic, the app allows customers to place bets on virtual horse races, which can be made at any time of the day and week, and viewed via the app.
As we already mentioned, In-Play and Live betting option are ideal for fans of horse and greyhound races as well as snooker and football. The odds will automatically be updated as well as the scores.

Establishing Profit Motive for Business Activities | Schoppe's Tax Service, Inc.
If you reported losses from one or more business activities, we would like to remind you that the IRS has rules that limit the deductibility of expenses and losses from a hobby or activity not engaged in for profit.
If the IRS determines that an activity is not profit-driven, deductions from the activity are limited to the amount of income the activity generates. Losses from such activities cannot be used to offset other income, such as salary or investments.
You must be prepared to show that an activity that generates deductions is a business from which you intend to profit. It is not necessary that the activity actually earns a profit, so long as a profit is one of the motives for participating in the activity.
The IRS assumes that an activity is carried on for profit if it makes a profit during at least three of the last five tax years, including the current year, or at least two of the last seven years for activities that consist primarily of breeding, showing, training or racing horses. Otherwise, the IRS applies non-exclusive tests and factors to the surrounding facts to judge whether activities are more like a business with a profit motive, or are for personal satisfaction.
To make sure you are properly claiming all of the deductions available to you, and to strengthen your position in the event of an IRS audit, it is important to consider all the facts and circumstances surrounding activities the IRS is likely to challenge.

ARTA or LARTA:
By: Richard Gottheil, Abraham Danon
Fifteenth Century.
Internal Dissensions.
Decadence in Seventeenth Century.
Modern Times.
Chief city of the nomarchy of Arthamania, Greece; situated on the Arta, about 7 miles from its mouth. It is the ancient Ambracia, called by the casuists of the sixteenth century Acarnania, and assigned to the Morea. In 1890 it contained 4,328 inhabitants, of whom about 200 were Jews. Little is known of the early history of the community. The casuists of the sixteenth century speak of an old synagogue "of the Corfiotes" (called also "of the natives," ), which leads to the supposition that Jews from Corfu settled at Arta when Roger I. of Sicily took possession of that Ionian island. Moreover, Benjamin of Tudela (about 1170, under Manuel I. Comnenus) mentions 100 Jews (or Jewish families?), whose leaders were R. Solomon and R. Heracles.
At the time of Scanderbeg (1404-67), Arta was already under Turkish rule. Upon their expulsion from the Spanish dominions, the Jews, coming from Calabria, Apulia, and Sicily, formed congregations and established a college. The earliest leaders of the latter were Rabbi Caleb (a name which frequently occurs among both Rabbinites and Karaites, and was later used by the Sephardim as a family name), Solomon Hamy, and Benjamin b. Shemariab, and, later, Abraham Obadiah Sephardi (died at an advanced age before 1529), who bequeathed his whole fortune to the poor of the Corfiote and Apulian synagogues; and finally Benjamin b. Mattathias (died before 1539), the author of "Binyan Ze'eb." The last-named, a loyal and modest character, was engaged in commerce in addition to his studies. He corresponded with the rabbis of Venice, of Constantinople (Elijah MizraḦi), and of Salonica (Joseph Taytazak), and engaged in disputes with David Cohen of Corfu. His son-in-law, Samuel b. Moses Calai (still living in 1574), author of "Mishpeṭe Shemuel" (Venice, 1599), was the contemporary and rival of Isaac (b. Shabbethai?) Cohen, Solomon b. Baruch, Abraham b. Moses, and others. Somewhat earlier lived the notary Shabbethai b. Moses Russo (1525). About that time (before 1534) certain new ordinances were instituted. It appears that the Jewish youth of both sexes had somewhat scandalized the community of Arta by holding dancing parties. The heads of the communitynot only put an end to such entertainments, but also forbade betrothed young men to visit their fiancées before marriage, as was the ancient custom of the natives.
This last measure caused dissensions in the community. The Jews originally from Apulia, numbering about thirty families, especially protested, under the leadership of the heads of the community, Shabbethai b. Caleb and Moses b. Shabbethai Clevi (Clevois?), Judah b. Jacob, and David b. Solomon Mioni, Herero b. Solomon Pichon, Mordecai b. Mazalṭob Maça, Mattathias b. Leon, Mattathias b. Solomon Benjamin Haliczi (probably from Halicz in Galicia), and Shabbethai b. Abraham Fidelo. In order to avoid future scandal and to secure the sanctity of the home, it was decreed (about 1521) that betrothals should be entered into only in the presence of ten laymen and one rabbi. Moreover (before 1561), dice or any other games of chance were forbidden except on the semi-holidays, Purim, and the fast preceding it.
The Jewish population of Arta comprised at this period about 300 families, who were, however, not completely assimilated; for the Greek Jews had not yet yielded altogether to the Spanish. In addition to the occurrence mentioned above, the Jews had other causes for dissension among them, chiefly in regard to the apportioning of the taxes. In this latter case the difficulties were adjusted by the syndics. But disputes arose among the permanent residents of Arta, or between them and strangers who came to the city, like the Jews of Patras who had left their native town to escape some great danger. Arta itself, where they sought refuge, did not always afford protection. In one instance the governor of the city cast all the Jewish inhabitants into prison during the Feast of Tabernacles in order to extort from them the sum of 3,000 florins.
The Jews on the highways were even less secure than in the cities: the casuists of this epoch record several assassinations of Jews; e.g., that of Moses Soussi. The principal occupation of the Jews being commerce, they traveled a good deal, either to Corfu or to Janina (45 miles from Arta), where they sold Venetian wares or fabrics, or to neighboring villages and other places. They also followed various trades, even women being engaged in dyeing silk. There were also Jewish physicians at Arta (Jacob Rofé, Moses Polastro), who at times charged the comparatively large sum of 50 ducats for treating a patient.
The moral tone of the community, though marked on the whole by devotion and even an austere piety, was lowered in individual cases through lack of central administration. Thus, a certain Shemariah b. Abraham dared to maltreat the rabbi Benjamin b. Shemariah and even to say things prejudicial to the community. Another, Solomon by name, stigmatized as apostates the Maranos who, fleeing from Apulia, sought refuge at Arta. Finally, a certain Manoah Politzer (? ), with the assistance of two false witnesses, Abraham Turkia and Abraham Tobiel, appropriated (about 1529) the legacy of R. Abraham Sephardi mentioned on page 143. In contrast to this darker side is the solidarity which united not only the Jews living in Arta, but also the latter with those of the neighboring towns. Thus it is recounted that when some pirates robbed a certain Eliezer of Pola ( ) and sold their booty to the Jews of En-Mavra, a notification from the rabbinical body of Arta was sufficient to cause the purchasers to restore the property to the owner in consideration of the expenses involved.
Rabbinic studies declined here as in the Orient generally. By the seventeenth century the rabbis—for example, Eliezer Menahem—were obliged to seek their knowledge at the colleges of Salonica, as probably also R. Moses Jacob, Raphael Cohen, Abraham 'Iṭon ( ), and Shabbethai Russo, contemporaries of the chronicler David Conforte. This decadence was doubtless due in part to the political vicissitudes which successively befell Arta, such as the invasions of the Venetians (1688), of the French (1797), of Tepedelenli Ali, pasha of Janina (1798), of the Greeks (1821), and lastly of the Turks (1821).
Between 1854—when the town revolted against the Turks, who reconquered it after a few months—and June, 1880, nothing of note occurred among the Jews of Arta. Then, at the instance of some public-spirited men, the Talmud Torah was reorganized so as to include both secular and religious instruction. This reform went into effect a year later (June, 1881), according to regulations written in three languages (Hebrew, Greek, and Italian), dated March 17, 1880, and signed by Julius (Shabbethai Ezra) Besso (president), Jacob Raphael Mioni (vice-president), Moses Daniel Yerushalmi (treasurer), Michel Shabbethai Besso (secretary), and the inspectors Elie Joseph Cané, Moses Solomon Battino, Moses Zaffo, and Abraham Shabbethai (printed by Nacamulli, Corfu). Mention is also made of two benefactors of the institutions, citizens of Corfu: (1) Abraham Tchaki, who contributed much toward the success of the work, and (2) especially Solomon Abraham, who, in addition to funds, gave a building of the value of 1,000 francs, which he owned at Arta. Nicole Zanetti is mentioned as professor of Greek.
Some time after (1881), Arta was ceded by the Turks to the kingdom of Greece, conformably to the Treaty of Berlin.

Protein glycosylation as an adaptive response in Archaea: growth at different salt concentrations leads to alterations in Haloferax volcanii S-layer glycoprotein N-glycosylation.
To cope with life in hypersaline environments, halophilic archaeal proteins are enriched in acidic amino acids. This strategy does not, however, offer a response to transient changes in salinity, as would post-translational modifications. To test this hypothesis, N-glycosylation of the Haloferax volcanii S-layer glycoprotein was compared in cells grown in high (3.4 M NaCl) and low (1.75 M NaCl) salt, as was the glycan bound to dolichol phosphate, the lipid upon which the N-linked glycan is assembled. In high salt, S-layer glycoprotein Asn-13 and Asn-83 are modified by a pentasaccharide, while dolichol phosphate is modified by a tetrasaccharide comprising the first four pentasaccharide residues. When the same targets were considered from cells grown in low salt, substantially less pentasaccharide was detected. At the same time, cells grown at low salinity contain dolichol phosphate modified by a distinct tetrasaccharide absent in cells grown at high salinity. The same tetrasaccharide modified S-layer glycoprotein Asn-498 in cells grown in low salt, whereas no glycan decorated this residue in cells grown in the high-salt medium. Thus, in response to changes in environmental salinity, Hfx. volcanii not only modulates the N-linked glycans decorating the S-layer glycoprotein but also the sites of such post-translational modification.

«Take Me Home» es una canción de la cantante rumana Alexandra Stan, estrenada en formato digital y streaming el 5 de mayo de 2020 a través de Universal Music Rumania. Liviu Teodorescu y Stan se encargaron de la producción, mientras que esta última escribió la pista junto con iRonic Distors. Un crítico de música describió a «Take Me Home» como un alejamiento de los trabajos previos de la artista orientados al género EDM, pues contiene una guitarra acústica tocada por Mircea Steriu en su instrumentación. La letra se centra en Stan quien extraña a su interés amoroso y desea estar con él en casa. Jonathan Currinn, del sitio CelebMix, elogió la voz de Stan y pensó que la temática de soledad en la canción era relevante, en especial durante la cuarentena debido a la pandemia de COVID-19 . La intérprete subió el video oficial en su canal oficial de YouTube simultáneamente con el lanzamiento del sencillo. Filmado en Bucarest por Cătălin Dardea, el videoclip presenta a Stan interpretando la canción, acompañada por Steriu con la guitarra.

Antecedentes y composición
«Take Me Home» fue producida por Liviu Teodorescu y Stan, mientras que esta última se encargó de la composición junto con iRonic Distors. Andrei Kerestely manejó el proceso de mezcla y masterización, y se desempeñó como ingeniero de audio en los estudios Midi Sound, mientras que Mircea Steriu recibió créditos adicionales por tocar la guitarra. La discográfica Universal Music Rumania estrenó «Take Me Home» en formato digital y streaming el 5 de mayo de 2020. La canción fue escrita alrededor de 2016 y Stan la interpretó en varios conciertos mucho antes de ser lanzada. Durante una entrevista con Neatza cu Răzvan și Dani, la cantante reveló que, al principio, se había planeado una producción más compleja para «Take Me Home». Sin embargo, Stan decidió que fuera una guitarra acústica. Jonathan Currinn, del sitio CelebMix, describió la pista como un alejamiento de los trabajos previos de la artista orientados al género EDM, y también la comparó con su propio sencillo «Thanks for Leaving» (2014). Líricamente, «Take Me Home» se centra en la cantante quien extraña a su interés amoroso y desea estar con él en casa; la palabra «home»—en español: Hogar—se usa como una metáfora dirigida hacia «ellos y cómo te hacen sentir».

Video musical
El video oficial de «Take Me Home», dirigido por Cătălin Dardea, se estrenó en el canal oficial de Stan en YouTube el 5 de mayo de 2020. Filmado en un escenario minimalista en Bucarest unos meses antes de su lanzamiento, el videoclip presenta a Stan durante una interpretación en directo junto a Steriu con la guitarra. La cantante luce la mitad delantera de un vestido negro que está atada con correas a su espalda, junto con pantalones rojos y blancos, y botines de color turquesa. Raluca Chirilă, de InfoMusic, elogió el metraje por llevar al espectador a un «estado de sueño», mientras que Currinn, de CelebMix, elogió la vestimenta de Stan y su talento vocal, pero criticó levemente las tomas en primer plano ya que, según el profesional, hicieron que el video fuera «difícil de disfrutar».

Осмофобия или олфактофобия се свързва със страх, отвращение или психологическа свръхчувствителност към мирисане или миризми. Фобията основно се появява при страдащите от хронична мигрена, които може да са я получили от миризми. Такива мигрени най-често се задействат от лоши миризми, но свръхчувствителността може да се разпростре до всички миризми. Едно изследване открива, че 25% от страдащите от мигрена имат някаква степен на осмофобия.

Някои болни от мигрена лекуват болестта си с някакъв успех използвайки приятни миризми като джоджен или лавандула.

Фобии


The Order of St. John of Jerusalem – the monastic community which ran the hospital – became independent under the guidance of its founder, Blessed Gérard. Pope Paschal II approved the foundation of the Hospital with the Bull of 15th February 1113, and placed it under the aegis of the Church, granting it the right to freely elect its superiors without interference from other lay or religious authorities. By virtue of the Papal Bull, the Hospital became a lay-religious order. All the knights were religious, bound by the three monastic vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
The constitution of the Kingdom of Jerusalem obliged the Order to take on the military defence of the sick and the pilgrims, as well as guarding its medical centres and main roads. The Order thus added the task of defending the faith to that of its hospitaller mission. As time went on, the Order adopted the white eight-pointed cross that is still its symbol today.
Under the leadership of Grand Master Fra' Foulques de Villaret, in 1307, the Knights of the Order of St. John landed with their fleet in Rhodes, completing the acquisition of the island by 1310 when it transferred its seat there. Besides offering natural ports for its fleets, the island was a strategic location that linked the eastern and western worlds.
From then, the defence of the Christian world required the organisation of a naval force. Thus the Order built a powerful fleet and sailed the Eastern Mediterranean, fighting many famous battles.
The Order's independence from other nations granted by Pontifical deed, and its universally recognised right to maintain and deploy armed forces and to appoint ambassadors, has constituted the grounds for its international sovereignty.
In the early 14th century the institutions of the Order and the knights who came to Rhodes from every corner of Europe were grouped according to the languages they spoke. There were initially seven groups of Langues (Tongues): Provence, Auvergne, France, Italy, Aragon (Navarre), England (with Scotland and Ireland) and Germany, and later on an eighth: Castille and Portugal. Each Langue included Priories or Grand Priories, Bailiwicks and Commanderies.
The Order was governed by its Grand Master (Prince of Rhodes) together with the Council, it minted its own money and maintained diplomatic relations with other states. The senior positions of the Order were given to representatives of different Langues. The seat of the Order, the Convent, was composed of religious members of various nationalities.
After six months of siege and fierce combat against the fleet and army of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the knights were forced to surrender in 1523 and left Rhodes with military honours.
The Order remained without a territory of its own until 1530, when Grand Master Fra' Philippe de Villiers de l'Isle Adam took possession of the island of Malta, granted to the Order by Emperor Charles V with the approval of Pope Clement VII. It was decided that the Order should remain neutral in any war between Christian nations.
In 1565 the knights, led by Grand Master Fra' Jean de la Vallette defended the island for more than three months during the Great Siege of the Ottomans.
Following this victory the city and port of La Valletta was built and named after the Grand Master, its founder. The knights transformed Malta, undertaking urban construction projects: palaces and churches were built, as well as formidable new defence bastions and gardens. Architecture flourished as well as artistic patronage. The island was given a large new hospital, considered to be one of the best organised and most effective in the world. A school of anatomy was also founded and the faculty of medicine followed. In particular, the Order contributed to the development of ophthalmology and pharmacology.
As well as these activities, for centuries the Order of Malta's fleet took part in the most important manoeuvres in the Mediterranean against the Ottoman fleet and against North African pirates.
After having temporarily resided in Messina, Catania and Ferrara, in 1834 the Order settled definitively in Rome, where it owns, with extraterritorial status, the Magistral Palace and the Magistral Villa on the Aventine Hill.
In the second part of the 19th century, the original hospitaller mission became once again the main focus of the Order, growing ever stronger during the last century, most especially because of the contribution of the activities carried out by its Grand Priories and National Associations in so many countries around the world. Large-scale hospitaller and charitable activities were carried out during World War I, and World War II under Grand Master Fra' Ludovico Chigi Albani della Rovere (1931-1951).
Under the Grand Masters Fra' Angelo de Mojana di Cologna (1962-1988) and Fra' Andrew Bertie (1988-2008), the projects expanded until they reached the furthermost regions of the world.

3 Top Stock Picks From the Street's Best Analysts
Scott Fields- October 25, 2019, 11:31 AM EDT
TipRanks does the legwork of analyzing the analyst. The platform uses natural language algorithms to sort through the stock reports of over 5,500 Wall Street analysts, determining who made the best calls, and which recommendation brought in the best returns. The result is a comprehensive database of stock analysts, rated and ranked by success and return. When you see 5 stars next to a TipRanks analyst, you know who to trust.
Today, we've pulled reports from three of the top analysts in the TipRanks database. These Wall Street wizards have success rates in excess of 70%, and average returns above 20%. We'll look at a recent recommendation from each of them, to see what makes a stock compelling to the experts.
Mastercard (MA)
Oppenheimer's Glenn Greene is currently ranked #1 in the TipRanks database. He earned his five stars with an 84% success rate on his stock calls. Greene's average return of 21.3%, indicating that the stocks in his coverage universe are profitable as well as bullish.
Greene has recently issued a report on Mastercard, the credit card company. The top analyst had attended the company's Investor Day, and came away with a bullish outlook, giving the stock a Buy rating and a $312 price target (15% upside from current levels).
Mastercard isn't really a credit card company. Rather, it's a payment processor, for cards issued with the company brand. Mastercard's business model is built on a range of income streams – royalties from card issuers using the brand, fees from the card issuers for using the company's payment processing, and transaction fees from card users for the privilege of having a credit card. Like most multi-stream incomes, the model is resilient in bad economic times and highly profitable in good times. A look at the stock's recent performance bears this out.
Markets swooned in Q4 of 2018, and the S&P 500 slipped 14%. MA shares showed a steeper loss, of 21%. But where the S&P has since made an impressive 22% rebound, MA has gained an even more impressive 50% since bottoming out. Mastercard's most recent report, for Q2, showed a 12% revenue gain, to $4.11 billion, and an adjusted EPS of $1.89 per share, well ahead of the $1.83 expected.
All of that forms the background to Glenn Greene's meeting with company management. In Greene's words, "MA maintains a sizeable global market opportunity and continues to emphasize its broad B2B opportunity (particularly around accounts payable), Services business and real-time ACH capabilities. Encouragingly, MA's intra-quarter volumes through August remained directionally stable with both July and 2Q19 levels. We remain quite encouraged by MA's strategic direction and that its long-term growth trajectory remains intact."
Wall Street's analysts have been nothing but bullish on MA over the past three months. Out of 16 analysts, all 16 are bullish on the stock. With a return potential of 17%, the stock's consensus target price stands at $317.31. (See Mastercard stock analysis on TipRanks)
Smartsheet (SMAR)
Holding the #3 spot in TipRanks is Canaccord analyst Richard Davis. Davis' specialty are the tech stocks; he particularly likes the Software-as-a-Service sector. Davis boasts an excellent 79% success rate on his stock reviews, but his real strength as an analyst is in his return. An investor following Davis' advice over the past year would have seen an impressive 42.5% return on cash invested.
Smartsheet is one of the companies that Davis likes. It's a SaaS company, marketing a cloud-based workspace management and collaboration system. Companies use Smartsheet's products to share and a manage work projects, assign and track progress, and manage calendars. The interface is designed to make tracking simple and intuitive. Most importantly, for customers, Smartsheet's product is meant to interface with other popular cloud systems, such as Microsoft Office, Google Apps, Salesforce.com, or Dropbox.
Filling a necessary niche, and allowing integration with competitor's products, has brought Smartsheet success. While the company's earnings, like those of many recent tech companies, are underwater, revenues are rising steadily and the earnings consistently beat expectations. In the Q2 report, released this past September, the company showed an EPS loss of 8 cents, against the 16 cents expected. Revenues were solid, and at $64.6 million beat the $63.5 million forecast. In the last year, SMAR has beaten earnings and revenue forecasts four times out of four.
In his comments on SMAR, Davis displays both his acumen for finding the right stock, and his strategic sense for long-term investing. He writes, "We believe software has become much more secular than cyclical in terms of growth and Smartsheet is one of the best positioned and executing firms that we follow. The stock's valuation is cheaper, but obviously not cheap on any traditional metric. However, we strongly believe this firm has a long-tail growth opportunity, so investors should own at least a starter position in SMAR and hope for a pullback to fill out their position." His $45 price target suggests a 14% upside to SMAR shares.
Overall, this stock's Strong Buy analyst consensus rating is based on 8 Buys and 1 Hold set in the past three months. SMAR's $50 average price target is slightly higher than Davis', and indicates room for a potential 27% upside. (See Smartsheet stock analysis on TipRanks)
ON Semiconductor (ON)
Jefferies' Mark Lipacis is one of ON's biggest bulls, and he is also one of the top-rated analysts who cover the stock.
Lipacis holds the #7 slot out of the 5,500 analysts rated at TipRanks. His 75% success rate and 28% average return indicate a solid performance over time. The stocks he studies are oriented heavily towards hi-tech hardware; his recent ratings have included most of the big semiconductor companies.
ON is one of the world's top semiconductor companies, counting by sales, with $5.88 billion in revenue for FY 2018. Net income that year was $630 million. The products behind the earnings are a normal array of computer chips. ON Semi's chips are used to power logic systems, signal management systems, and custom devices in the automotive, communications, and industrial sectors. The company is based in Arizona, but has offices and facilities across North America, Europe, and East Asia.
The generally poor 2H18 market performance hit ON particularly hard, and the company's earnings are still depressed. Revenues in Q2 2019 missed the forecast, with the $1.35 billion reported being 2.3% below expectations. EPS, at 42 cents, was positive, meeting the analysts' consensus. Guidance for Q3 is also below consensus, a common tactic for managing expectations.
Lipacis, in his notes on ON shares, pointed out, "ON noted inventory days in channel declining, a meaningful QQ pick up in disti resales and signs of recovery in industrial and automotive Greater China demand. We believe our margin expansion thesis will play out."
Expanding on this, Lipacis added, "ON believes the demand has stabilized at a lower level of revenue… Automotive and Industrial end markets saw a positive pick up in the Greater China region… Based on conversations with customers, ON expects QQ growth in 3Q19 communications (5G deployment and new smartphone models with higher content)…" In other words, Lipacis believes that the hard times are behind ON, revenue and demand have found a new equilibrium, and that 5G conversion will boost sales and profits going forward.
Lipacis has a price target of $27.00 on this stock, suggesting an eye-opening 43% upside. In this, he is far more bullish than most; ON has an average price target of $23.46, indicating about 24% upside from the $19 share price. The stock's Strong Buy consensus rating is based on 12 Buys, versus just 1 Hold and 1 Sell. (See ON Semiconductor stock analysis on TipRanks)
3 'Strong Buy' Stocks That Deutsche Bank Loves
Marty Shtrubel, November 14, 2019
Earnings: 3 'Strong Buy' Stocks to Watch Tuesday
Scott Fields, October 28, 2019


How well do you protect your spirit? Recently, on my social media, I wrote about the importance of a quiet spirit. A quiet spirit is a spirit that lacks distraction and unnecessary noise. It's a disposition of peace that allows us to hear God clearly, and to be more self-aware realizing what is going on within us. It also allows us to continuously move forward as we follow God's leading. Without it, we have the potential to get stuck, delayed, or to lose control emotionally. Loss of emotional control can lead to poor decision making.
Did you know that patience is something that helps us to have a quiet and well-controlled spirit? I will discuss this a bit later in this post. Read the below scripture to see the danger of not having a well protected and controlled spirit.


Here is something I whipped together when I got bored. A picture of the King of the Monsters himself: Godzilla. I have always had a soft spot for Godzilla, but I have always thought he was difficult to draw. For one thing, he doesn't look like a typical lizard or dinosaur. The other thing is that he has very human-like eyes and expressions that a normal animal would not have.
Honestly, this just started out with me just doing random doodles and squiggly lines and then it started turning into an actual drawing. I am quite satisfied with how he turned out.


Portugal has ancient traditions in the field of higher education: one of the oldest universities in Europe is located in Portugal, at the same time, there are business schools and advanced polytechnic universities. The Ministry of Education of Portugal pays much attention to the development of the higher education, allocating money for equipping research laboratories, and also financially supporting students. Thus, in this sunny country will be good for those who dream about education in Europe for the same money as at home.
Comfortable conditions. Located along the ocean coast, Portugal is famous for its mild climate, picturesque mountains and sandy beaches. Small distances between cities and a convenient schedule of university studies (students mostly study only in the first half of the day) allow you to combine hard work with pleasant rest and travel. In Portuguese universities, as in the country as a whole, there is a benevolent friendly atmosphere, which facilitates the rapid adaptation of foreign students to the new environment.
Low prices for goods and services. Renting a lodging, dining in a restaurant, buying a movie or concert ticket in Portugal will be much cheaper than in other European countries. On the shelves of stores are mainly domestic goods of excellent quality (wine, fruit, clothing, shoes), which are sold at democratic prices. The cost of living in student accommodation of Portuguese universities is much lower than in most European countries. For example, life in Lisbon - the capital of Portugal and the most expensive city in the country - will cost only € 500 per month, taking into account absolutely all expenses. This is even slightly less than the cost of a comfortable life in Moscow. Accordingly, the decision to move to Portugal for a long time does not threaten with significant expenses, and this often attracts foreigners.
Loyal attitude towards foreign students. Portugal is less inclined to formalities than other European countries. In particular, for admission to most of the country's universities, it is not required to present even a certificate of knowledge of the Portuguese language. To assess the possession of vocabulary and grammar, students only have to pass an interview. In some cases, universities accept applicants, even with an initial level of language, obliged to pass linguistic courses at the university simultaneously with attending basic classes.
Many teachers understand the problems of foreign-speaking students with understanding, at first closing their eyes to their linguistic errors. During the education process, much attention is paid to the creative work of students, and not at all to a thorough knowledge of the subject. As a rule, people who have proven themselves in school or in research work are provided with all kinds of assistance, for example, in finding a job. Thus, studying in Portugal will not do unnecessary worries and stress.
Institutions of this level in Portugal are divided into two areas: academic universities and higher polytechnic institutes. In the most universities, there are entrance examinations (in the form of tests, interviews). The annual cost of education in public universities is considered small (600 - 1000 euros). In private universities, the cost of education is higher.
Classical universities give general higher education for various fields of culture. Polytechnic institutes are focused on educating the engineers, researchers. Most state universities work on the Bologna system.
The vast majority of Portuguese universities are concentrated in Lisbon. Private universities in Portugal are required to pass the state accreditation.
The most famous in Europe are such universities in Portugal: Coimbra, Lisbon New, Catholic (the oldest non-state university in the country), the Higher School of Management (Porto), Aveiro. Now the main university in Portugal is Lisbon University. The number of students in it reaches twenty thousand. Three thousand teachers teach at the university.
For admission to higher education in Portugal, it is usually necessary to have a completed secondary education (12 years). Enrollment of applicants to universities is carried out within the framework of a nationwide competition - following the results of nationwide entrance examinations in writing for those disciplines that are necessary for admission to a particular (chosen) specialty. To pass through the competition of the university, the exams need to get an assessment no lower than the one established by him (analog of the passing score).
In addition, each university establishes its own requirements, which should be met by academic preparation of entrants, and has the right, if it deems it necessary, to conduct additional special examinations, the organization of which in this case falls on it.
Foreign students studying in Portugal are allowed to work 20 hours a week (during the holidays - unlimitedly). It should, however, be taken into account that hourly payment in this state is one of the lowest in Europe: at least € 3. The high unemployment in Portugal (up to 15% of the adult population) also hinders the search for work. Thus, the option to cover part of the costs, already being in Portugal, is available to very few people.
Help is provided by student help centers, which can offer positions on campus and beyond. An important advantage is the knowledge of Russian and English. In this case, students can count on the positions of consultants in the shops and travel companies, hotel administrators, tutors or translators. Students who are actively engaged in research work have a chance to obtain an official contract in the university laboratory.
During the holidays, students can find a job on the Portuguese beaches to combine rest and work, or to travel to neighboring European countries for a better-paying job.
In Portuguese universities, students get both theoretical and practical knowledge, which allows graduates to enter the European labor market without any problems. In addition, studies at Portuguese universities allow studying the Portuguese language, which is spoken by a total of 230 million people on 4 continents. Knowledge of this language is appreciated in many companies and firms. An additional bonus: by knowing Portuguese, you can easily learn the Spanish language that is close to it, the second most common in the world.
In Portugal: graduates who have received a master degree from a Portuguese university can extend the validity of a student visa for another 6 months to pursue a job search. This is a rather complicated process due to the high unemployment rate in the country. Nevertheless, graduates of computer science faculties, specialists in the field of technology, construction, engineering disciplines, medicine and the sciences have good chances to get a job in high-paying positions. After undergraduate studies, it is difficult in Portugal to find work for students of humanitarian faculties.
In Europe: the diplomas of Portuguese universities are recognized by all the employers in Europe. However, the priority, in this case, is unbroken assessments, but the recommendations of the supervisor and a well-written resume reflecting the skills of the applicant. Important advantages are participation in international scientific projects, publications in academic publications, studies or internships/work in other European countries. Other things are being equal, Portuguese can be an advantage.
In the CIS: Thanks to the traditional ties between CIS and Portugal, as well as the increased importance of relations with Brazil, which is one of the BRICS countries, there is a steady demand for specialists with knowledge of the Portuguese language in Russia and other CIS countries. At the same time, Russian universities are preparing them in insufficient quantities (according to the 2010 census the number of people who know the Portuguese language in Russia was about 11 thousand people), therefore, graduates of Portuguese universities can count on career growth in various fields of the national economy. They can take an important place in foreign economic structures, heads of imports and exports, head tourism firms (Madeira and the Azores continue to attract specialists from CIS). Experts with knowledge of the Portuguese language are extremely in demand in Russian-Brazilian projects - from processing agricultural products to developing nuclear and alternative energy.


This campaign season just gets weirder and weirder.
Reminds me of how other Jennifer Tierney candidates have masqueraded…. like when Howard Wayne tried to say he was against Prop D. Nobody bought it. Or Bonnie Dumanis with the six-figure pension saying she's pro-CPR.
My guess is CPR is running over 65 and maybe over 70% in D1 for the June Primary.
I'm with Erik. Some time ago, I predicted CPR would pass by a 2-1 margin.
I suspect the unions have all but given up on the ELECTION, and instead will fight in the courts — and in their bought-and-paid-for state legislature.
This new "nuanced" Lightner position on CPR is her version of switching political party registration for tactical political gain. Fletcher led the way.
Maybe Council member Lightner will explain how she squares getting a "3.5% at 60" City pension for herself for being on the Council, but is still sincere about Pension Reform!? Double standard, anyone.
I hope you don't ever plan on supporting Bonnie Dumanis (this year's Mayor's race or re-election to DA in 2014) since she too is in favor of Prop B and she will collect a $200,000+ per year pension.

School reverses decision and allows Transgender student to wear a dress to prom
HOUSTON – In a letter to the American Civil Liberties Union, Spring Independent School District stated that Tony Zamazal, a transgender student at Spring High School, may wear a dress, pump-style shoes, makeup and a wig to the school prom on May 11. A school administrator previously told Zamazal that wearing a dress would be "unacceptable" because boys have to wear tuxedos and girls must wear dresses.
The school reversed its position after receiving a letter from the national ACLU explaining that its position was unconstitutional.
"All I wanted was to get to wear a dress to prom, because I wouldn't have felt comfortable at all showing up in a tux," said Zamazal, a 19-year-old senior. "I'm so grateful that my school has agreed to let me be myself on such an important night."
Zamazal first approached an assistant principal at Spring High School in February to ask for permission to wear a dress to the prom. When that request was denied, Zamazal then asked the principal, who said she would have to consult the school board because it would be a "community decision."
"Like every other student, Tony deserves to feel comfortable and be herself at prom," said Amanda Goad, staff attorney with the ACLU Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Project. "We're glad that Spring ISD has affirmed Tony's First Amendment rights."
The ACLU sent a letter to the principal on March 18, explaining that both federal law and the U.S. Constitution protect Zamazal's right to wear a dress to prom. The school district responded last week and affirmed that it will allow Zamazal to attend the prom in the formal clothing of her choice.
"Tony has the right under both federal statutes and the U.S. Constitution to express her gender identity," said Adriana Pinon, senior staff attorney with the ACLU of Texas. "Students' legal rights aren't something that public schools get to put up to a vote. We're happy to see the school do the right thing."
The letter to the school can be seen at: www.aclu.org/lgbt-rights/aclu-letter-spring-high-school. The school's response can be viewed at: www.aclu.org/lgbt-rights/spring-high-school-letter-aclu

Die Schlacht von Hanoi begann mit einem Angriff der Viet Minh auf die Infrastruktur und französische Truppenpräsenz in der Hauptstadt von Tonkin Hanoi am 19. Dezember 1946. Sie endete nach monatelangem Guerillakrieg mit dem Abzug der letzten Viet-Minh-Soldaten am 17. Februar 1947. Während der Kämpfe kam es zu schweren Zerstörungen in der Stadt und zu Übergriffen auf die pro-französische Zivilbevölkerung.

Die Schlacht markiert in der Mehrheitsmeinung der Historiker den Beginn des Indochinakriegs.

Hintergrund
Die Machtübernahme der Japaner am 9. März 1945 beseitigten in Französisch-Indochina die verbliebenen Strukturen des Kolonialstaates. Nach dem Zusammenbruch und der Kapitulation des Japanischen Kaiserreichs besetzten britisch-französische Truppen den Südteil und nationalchinesische Soldaten den Nordteil des Landes. Zeitgleich proklamierte der kommunistische Unabhängigkeitskämpfer Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi die Demokratische Republik Vietnam in der Augustrevolution. Während die Franzosen im Südteil ihre Kolonialherrschaft wieder etablieren konnten, wurde dies im Norden aufgrund der Präsenz der chinesischen Truppen und der Position der Viet Minh zunächst nicht versucht. Durch Verhandlungen wurde Frankreich am 6. März 1946 die Stationierung von rund 15.000 Soldaten in ganz Tonkin erlaubt. Dies schloss auch die Hauptstadt der DRV Hanoi ein. Nach dem Abzug der chinesischen Truppen im September 1946 eskalierten die Spannungen rasch und es kam im November 1946 beim Haiphong-Zwischenfall zu Gefechten und zur Besetzung der Stadt durch französische Truppen. Die Regierung der DRV bereitete sich ab diesem Zeitpunkt auf die Evakuierung ihrer zivilen und militärischen Strukturen aus Hanoi vor, um mit diesen einen Guerillakrieg zu führen. Das militärische Oberkommando der Viet Minh etablierte einen Plan um den Rückzug durch hinhaltende Gefechte in Hanoi zu decken.

Militärische Kräfteverhältnisse
Auf vietnamesischer Seite verblieben nach dem Evakuierungsbefehl der DRV-Regierung rund 2000 Militärangehörige in der Stadt. Die Truppe bestand aus dem Hauptstadt-Regiment der Viet Minh und in der Stadt ad-hoc gebildeten Milizen. Unter den Militärangehörigen befanden sich auch rund 200 Kinder die für Aufklärungs- und Meldeaufgaben herangezogen wurden. Der Befehlshaber der Einheiten in der Stadt war der Kommandeur des Hauptstadt-Regiments Vương Thừa Vũ.

Die französischen Kräfte bei Hanoi wurden von Oberst Debès befehligt und unterstanden dem Oberbefehl des CEFEO-Kommandeurs Jean-Étienne Valluy.

Die vietnamesische Seite war aufgrund mangelnder Ausrüstung und Bewaffnung den französischen Streitkräften deutlich unterlegen, welche in großem Umfang Panzer, Artillerie und Kampfflugzeuge zur Verfügung hatten.

Schlachtverlauf
Die Schlacht begann am 19. Dezember 1946 um 20.00 Uhr mit einem vietnamesischen Angriff auf das Elektrizitätswerk, Verkehrsknotenpunkte und Posten der französischen Streitkräfte in der Stadt. Die französische Führung in der Stadt war durch eigene Agenten ab dem Nachmittag vorgewarnt, dass ein Angriff bevorstehe. Den französischen Truppen gelang es am ersten Gefechtstag den Flughafen sowie den Nordteil der Stadt zu besetzen. Von diesem Gebiet aus erfolgte die Rückeroberung der vom Viet Minh kontrollierten Stadtteile. Die Viet Minh verlegten sich aufgrund ihrer unterlegenen Feuerkraft auf Guerillaaktionen aus ihrem Stadtgebiet.

Die Sicherung der Altstadt erfolgte durch die französische Infanterie im Häuserkampf und dauerte mehrere Monate. Die französische Seite bombardierte massiv die Altstadt der Stadt, das Hauptverteidigungsgebiet der Viet Minh. Zu Beginn der Schlacht wurden die Viet-Minh-Kräfte in der Stadt von regulären Kräften außerhalb der Stadt unterstützt, welche versuchten die Anmarschwege unter Feuer zu nehmen.

Mit dem Abzug des Hauptstadt-Regiments am 17. Februar 1947 endete der militärische Widerstand der Viet Minh in Hanoi am Folgetag. Während der Gefechte evakuierten die Viet Minh mehrere tausend Beamte und zivile Spezialisten aus der Hauptstadt aufs Land, wo sie dauerhaft in den Guerillagebieten verbleiben sollten. Das Motiv für den Abbruch des Widerstands in Hanoi war ein bevorstehender französischer Generalangriff auf die verbliebenen Viet-Minh-Territorien in der Stadt.

Folgen
Die Truppen der Viet Minh in der Stadt verzeichneten rund 1000 Kombattanten als Verluste. Die französische Seite bezifferte ihre Verluste auf rund 500 Mann.

Die Schlacht und insbesondere der Einsatz der französischen Artillerie führten zu schweren Zerstörungen in der Stadt und einer Flucht der Zivilbevölkerung. Die Bevölkerungszahl begann sich erst wieder 1948/49 durch Rückkehr oder Neuzugezogene zu erholen. Die Altstadt blieb bis 1948 fast vollständig unbewohnt. Nach dem Ende der Schlacht ließen die Viet Minh ihre vormaligen Polizeieinheiten in der Stadt verdeckt weiter operieren, um mit der Kolonialmacht kooperierende Einheimische anzugreifen.

Nach der Schlacht gelang es dem französischen Expeditionskorps rasch die restlichen Städte im ehemaligen Herrschaftsgebiet der DRV in Tonkin und Annam zu besetzen.

Nachdem die Truppen des Expeditionskorps die Städte Tonkins und Annams gesichert hatten richtete die Führung der CEFEO um Valluy sein Augenmerk auf die militärische Zerschlagung der Viet-Minh-Strukturen in seinem ländlichen Rückzugsraum der Region des Viet Bac. Dies mündete schließlich in der erfolglosen Opération Léa im Herbst 1947.

Q: how to migrate my bash prompt to zsh As of some time now I have been very tempted to switch from bash to zsh.
There is just one problem, I am very picky about my prompt. I use
the terminal all day and it took me a long time to get my prompt to
look and behave the way I want it to. By the way, I put it together
from different sources and a bit of my own stuff and it may contain
errors or not properly written code. All I want to know is if someone
knows the code that I can paste into my zshrc that would give me the
exact same prompt.
The two features that I really enjoy is the variable length working directory
that gets adjusted if pwd is too long and the directory separator slashes having
different color then the dir names. This prompt also sets a dynamic terminal title.
I could not post a picture because of some reputation
or something but here is the code.
my_prompt()
{
    local NONE="\[\033[0m\]"
    local COLOR1="\[\033[0;30m\]"
    local COLOR2="\[\033[0;31m\]"
    local COLOR3="\[\033[0;32m\]"
    local COLOR4="\[\033[0;33m\]"
    local COLOR5="\[\033[0;34m\]"
    local COLOR6="\[\033[0;35m\]"
    local COLOR7="\[\033[0;36m\]"
    local COLOR8="\[\033[0;37m\]"
    local COLOR9="\[\033[1;30m\]"
    local COLOR10="\[\033[1;31m\]"
    local COLOR11="\[\033[1;32m\]"
    local COLOR12="\[\033[1;33m\]"
    local COLOR13="\[\033[1;34m\]"
    local COLOR14="\[\033[1;35m\]"
    local COLOR15="\[\033[1;36m\]"
    local COLOR16="\[\033[1;37m\]"

    # How many characters of the $PWD should be kept
    local PWDLEN=55
    ## Indicate that there has been dir truncation
    local TRUNC=".."
    local DIR=${PWD##*/}
    PWDLEN=$(( ( PWDLEN < ${#DIR} ) ? ${#DIR} : PWDLEN ))
    TITLE_PWD=${PWD/#$HOME/\~/}
    local pwdoffset=$(( ${#TITLE_PWD} - PWDLEN ))
    if [ ${pwdoffset} -gt "0" ]
    then
        TITLE_PWD=${TITLE_PWD:$pwdoffset:$PWDLEN}
        TITLE_PWD=${TRUNC}/${TITLE_PWD#*/}
    fi

    local DIR_SEP_COLOR=$COLOR10
    local DIR_COLOR=$COLOR5
    local HOSTNAME_COLOR=$COLOR5
    local AT_COLOR=$COLOR10
    local USER_COLOR=$COLOR5

    IN=$TITLE_PWD
    arr=$(echo $IN | tr "/" "\n")

    unset NEWDIR
    for x in $arr
    do
        if [ "$x" == "~" ]
        then
                NEWDIR="$NEWDIR$DIR_COLOR$x"
        else
                NEWDIR="$NEWDIR$DIR_SEP_COLOR/$DIR_COLOR$x"
        fi
    done

    TITLEBAR='\[\033]0;\u@\h:${TITLE_PWD}\007\]'
  MYPS1="${USER_COLOR}\u${AT_COLOR}@${HOSTNAME_COLOR}${HOSTNAME}$DIR_SEP_COLOR:${DIR_COLOR}${NEWDIR}${NONE}"

    PS1="${TITLEBAR}${MYPS1}${COLOR12}»${NONE} "
}
PROMPT_COMMAND=my_prompt

another thing is that I do not like to do something like
echo \`pwd` | grep "/"

to get the slashes different color because I would also like to be able to change the color of the directory names as well
EDIT and ANSWER:
Thank you Simont for your answer. I think your criticism of me not being able to do a search was the exact slap and motivation I needed to get started :)
basically I used link number 2 multi color path in prompt
to get started. I came up with the following, its not perfect (i.e. random colors ... )
but it is a good starting template.
The following is my current .zshrc :
prompt_working_dir() {

   # How many characters of the $PWD should be kept
   local PWDLEN=55
   ## Indicate that there has been dir truncation
   local TRUNC=".."
   local DIR=${PWD##*/}
   local PWDLEN=$(( ( PWDLEN < ${#DIR} ) ? ${#DIR} : PWDLEN ))
   local TITLE_PWD=${PWD/#$HOME/\~/}
   local pwdoffset=$(( ${#TITLE_PWD} - PWDLEN ))
   if [ ${pwdoffset} -gt "0" ]
   then
      TITLE_PWD=${TITLE_PWD:$pwdoffset:$PWDLEN}
      TITLE_PWD=${TRUNC}/${TITLE_PWD#*/}
   fi

   IN=$TITLE_PWD
   arr=(${(s:/:)IN})
   unset NEWDIR

   if [ "$arr[1]" "==" "~" ]
   then
      NEWDIR="%{$fg[blue]%}$arr[1]"
      #delete 1st element
      arr[1]=()
      for x in $arr
      do
         NEWDIR="${NEWDIR}%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}/%{$reset_color%}%{$fg[blue]%}$x"
      done
   elif [ "$arr[1]" "==" ".." ]
   then
      NEWDIR="%{$fg[blue]%}$x%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}/"
      #delete 1st element
      arr[1]=()
      for x in $arr
      do
         NEWDIR="${NEWDIR}%{$reset_color%}%{$fg[blue]%}$x%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}/"
      done
   else
      for x in $arr
      do
          NEWDIR="${NEWDIR}%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}/%{$reset_color%}%{$fg[blue]%}$x"
      done
   fi

   echo "${NEWDIR}"

   unset PWDLEN
   unset TRUNC
   unset DIR
   unset PWDLEN
   unset TITLE_PWD
   unset pwdoffset
   unset IN
   unset arr
}

    setopt PROMPT_SUBST
    autoload -U colors && colors

    # set window title to user@host %directory-----------
    precmd () {print -Pn "\e]0;%n@%M: %~\a"}

    SEP=":"
    PROMPT='%{$fg[blue]%}%m%{$reset_color%}'\
    '%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}@%{$reset_color%}'\
    '%{$fg[blue]%}%n%{$reset_color%}'\
    '%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}$SEP%{$reset_color%}'\
    '$(prompt_working_dir)%{$reset_color%}'\
    '%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}»%{$reset_color%} '

A: *

*Use colors.

*For path truncation, look at this. Fairly detailed discussion on how his works (I've used something similar in my prompt).

*Color directory names differently: read this answer, which addresses something similar (I think: I'm not really sure what you're asking there).

*Change the terminal title: read this, and the link from (2).

You should also read the Stackoverflow Help Page, specifically the section linked. If you're having trouble with something, edit your question to contain what you've tried and what your issue is.
There are lots of questions on Stackoverflow, as well as Superuser: (Example), and Unix.SX (Example). Plenty to get you started.

It may change your world. On May 18 the Beatles channel will debut on Sirius XM, the satellite-radio company announced this week.
"We've worked with the Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd. to create a channel that is as vital today as when the band's music was first recorded — the soundtrack of our world, made by John, Paul, George and Ringo," said Scott Greenstein, Sirius' president and chief content officer.
The station will also have specials and regular shows with Beatles content, such as "Breakfast with the Beatles," with host Chris Carter, according to the Times.
Other musicians with their own Sirius channels include Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, the Grateful Dead and, coming next September, Garth Brooks, the Times notes.

Home Rock Candy 'True Detective' episode 3 recap: Follow the haircuts
'True Detective' episode 3 recap: Follow the haircuts
Sam Eifling
Wayne Hays feels out of sorts in Episode 3 of "True Detective," and he's not the only one. "I'm a little fuzzy," Det. Roland West (Stephen Dorff) says in his 1990 deposition. We're now moving with a bit more confidence around the three time periods: 1980, 1990, 2015. You've got to follow the haircuts if you want to follow the plot, a mirror of the increasingly fragile mental state of 70-year-old Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali) in 2015. The episode is short on bombshells, but gets deeper into what do we know, and why.
We do know the brother got the worse of the two Purcell kids' disappearance. While he was found dead with his fingers steepled on his chest, the sister, Julie, is alive and leaving prints on drugstore shelves in '90, the tantalizing whisper of a case that we're only starting to realize unwound Hays' career, and possibly his marriage. "It was just a case when I caught it. I didn't know it would be my last," Hays tells Amelia, as they hunker in a car outside a Walgreens in 1990. He's trying to put together some fingerprint clues but knows no one's going to back him up if he gets found out. This is where Amelia (Carmen Ejogo) steps up, as an author and researcher. She sweet-talks the Sallisaw police who have some clues as to the girl's whereabouts. In 1980, she's just a teacher, and he's a detective. By '90, he seems like he's out on his ass and she's entering the breach: author, researcher, detective. They hit a point of equilibrium that stirs him to frustration and anger. By the time she returns from teasing answers out of the cops in Oklahoma, he's had something close to a panic attack at Walmart when his daughter wanders away for a minute.
We start to see, for the first time, how thoroughly this case broke Hays down, though we don't yet know exactly why. And we're seeing the emergence of Amelia not simply as a romantic partner to Hays, but as a legit investigator in her own right, on her way to publishing her book on the Purcell case. For her to be so captivated with the case that wrecked her husband, though, fosters tension.
But in '80, the investigation feels all but stalled. West is getting deposed, catching us up a bit: "Wayne had the idea them kids were telling stories. And he was correct." The kids were fibbing to their parents, and it's not clear yet why. The story never checked out that they were going to play with their neighbor, and it's becoming clear that they weren't random kidnapping victims.
West and Hays drop by a huge chicken plant called Hoyt Foods, a Tyson Foods analogue, once they find out the kids' mom used to work there. The phone's ringing with calls from people relaying tips from their dreams — "The girl's being held at a snake farm in Huntsville?" — and they're still doing these desultory sweep-walks through tall grass, looking for bodies. The most tantalizing material clue might be some specialty Dungeons & Dragons-style dice that Hays finds among the lichen-splotched limestone formations in the woods, near some blood and matted hair.
There's also a mysterious suspect in the mix: a strange black man seen in the neighborhood before the disappearances, and two mentions of an unusually nice brown sedan making the rounds near the woods and in the kids' neighborhood. Juxtapose that with the junk collector (Michael Greyeyes) we've seen hauling a wagon behind a dune buggy. Some neighborhood dads ambush him, tell him to stay away from the fields where the kids play, and rough him up. Next we see him, he's back in a shed somewhere moving a canvas sack that looks suspiciously like a child-sized body.
Yet our junk hauler still feels like a red herring target here. A rich someone — maybe even old man Hoyt, who let's all pray is a rambunctious Don Tyson type — has got to play into it. And speaking of prayer: We find that by '90 the kids' dad (Scoot McNairy) has been sober five years, and has done it with a Bible near at hand. Between 20-sided nerd dice and a big ol' crucifix hanging on wood-paneled walls, it's looking more like we're going to have a showdown between Christianity and … well, if not satanists per se, maybe some long-haired LARPers in the woods.
