The RK 62 76, which is also known as the Valmet M76 is a operated by gas, and is an assault rifle stemming originally from Finland. IT was also made into a semi-automatic version for the civilian market. It is a modified version of an AK-47 and is based on the Rk 62 design. The gun was in being produced from 1976 to 1986, a ten year period. Its receiver is made up of stamped and riveted sheet metal, instead of Rk 62's originally milled receiver. Unfortunately, because it is considered dangerous to own as homes as a firearm, it is banned in Cali under the state's gun laws.
The UZI, in its pistol and carbine renditions counts for about 3 percent of the banned assault weapons in California. The UZI is a wide-ranged family of Israeli open-bolt, blowback-operated submachine guns. Smaller variants are considered to be known as machine pistols. The Uzi was one of the first weapons to use a telescoping bolt design which allows the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip for a shorter weapon. The first Uzi submachine gun was designed by Major Uziel Gal in the late 1940s. The prototype was finished in 1950. First introduced to IDF special forces in 1954, the weapon was placed into general issue two years later. The Uzi has found use as a personal defense weapon by rear-echelon troops, officers, artillery troops and tankers, as well as a frontline weapon by elite light infantry assault forces. Thus making it such a threat to California household safety.
The FN FAL is a French gun. In the French language it stands for Fusil Automatique Léger which translates in English to: Light Automatic Rifle. It is a battle rifle that was designed by Dieudonné Saive and Ernest Vervier and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal. During the Cold War, it was adopted by several nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) with the notable exception of the United States.Thus why it is illegal to own in Cali. It is one of the most widely used rifles in history, having been used by more than 90 countries. The FAL was primarily chambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO round (although originally designed for the .280 British intermediate cartridge) and because of its reputation and widespread use along the armed forces of many NATO countries during the Cold War it was nicknamed as "The right arm of the Free World". A British Commonwealth version of the FN FAL has been produced under licence as the L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle, but it still has no way of getting itself into California. Considered a foreign gun, California has so many guns that it's dealing with it doesn't have the time or energy to get to the chopper and pick up a few foreign guns and go through all the paperwork to have it deemed to be legal in its state. This is why the FN FAL is illegal in California.

The Polluting Port
Groups envision global connectivity over water and air concerns, whose voice are we keeping? And say goodbye to SAGE testing.
By Katharine Biele @kathybiele
Dear Speaker Greg Hughes, the title of Supreme Leader in Chief has been reserved for Mr. Trump. We understand that you have this deeply held belief that states' rights means it's your right, and the game is locked. Surprise. You are not the only one with a vision for Utah's future. Remember, uh, the people? They do not seem happy. The Inland Port, nicknamed the Polluting Port, has not only Salt Lake City up in arms, but those dreaded but oft-ignored "enviros." Of course, businesses are all abuzz. The Daily Herald covered a panel of development cheerleaders, including Envision Utah, whose vision of global connectivity neatly bypasses concerns over water and air. Meanwhile, Sen. Jim Dabakis is tiptoeing into the fray because it's a done deal, The Salt Lake Tribune reported. There's no end to hubris.
Keep Their Voice
The Utah Supreme Court was right—it's not about you; it's about us. That's "us" in the metaphorical sense. The court recently denied the Keep Their Voice, oops, Keep My Voice proponents' effort to overturn a legislative mandate giving candidates a dual path to the ballot. Who cares about this? Only the whichever-party elite who commonly come out on caucus night to stack the deck with fringe candidates. As The Salt Lake Tribune reported, the issue was actually about democracy—giving people a fair and balanced way to express their "preferences and values in a democratic fashion." KMV supporters thought it was their right to associate in a small, closed group. Don Guymon of the GOP Central Committee thinks the U.S. Supreme Court should weigh in because of an odd dissent by Chief Judge Timothy Tymkovich. But the rest of the court said this: "Not only does this balance not offend our Constitution, it is at its very essence."
Not That Questar
Kids, this is Utah, where education funding is negligible, home schooling is aspirational and testing changes almost yearly. Get ready 'cuz there's more coming. The Utah Board of Education is about to dump SAGE. And they will opt into something from, well, Questar? No, not that one—Questar Assessment Inc., a big for-profit subsidiary of Educational Testing Service that's going to make a lot of money off you. Just a few months ago, the board toyed with risking $123 million in federal funds because they don't like the feds telling them anything. The Salt Lake Tribune notes that 6 percent of students opt out of SAGE testing anyway. Well, didn't the president just say you don't need to prepare? So now Utah's going all tech-savvy, despite computer glitches in some states and even a data breach.

When we think of Kickstarter and IndieGoGo as their competition, this would be in the non-blockchain related industries. As we know the real money today through crowdfunding is in the Initial Coin Offerings that many projects are going through, like Fund Yourself Now is. Fund Yourself Now is facing the challenges that all ICOs do and are working their way through them one by one.
With this experience, they will be fully equipped to bring other ICOs, who do not have that knowledge, through this process in a more efficient and smooth manner. Many of the projects that are launching ICOs do not have the expertise to take their project from conception to completion through an ICO. Fund Yourself Now has a full one-stop solution.
As per their whitepaper (link in Resources section bellow), there are three major challenges that companies starting through a Crowdsale face.
To address the first issues, instead of the project leaders having full control of the project funding at their fingertips when it comes to FYN the release of the funds for the given project will be set through smart-contracts based on milestones. If the company doesn't reach the milestones given, the users can vote to delay or cancel future milestone payments. This gives them some protection and the chance to recoup funds where possible.
"Many good crowdfunding projects also get put on hold or fail to get the required funding due to a lack of marketing support. For example, most of them would not have the budget or expertise to make a good marketing video, do translations in different languages and promote their product on social media networks.
Jack Ser – Founder: who is a serial entrepreneur and is also the founder of Pinnacle Digital which is a full solutions company that specializes in providing in-house web design services, eCommerce web site development, mobile application development and branding design.
Kenneth Tan – Co-Founder, COO: Kenneth has extensive experience in software development and is currently the COO at Pinnacle Digital.
Carlos Salas Co-Founder, Nogle – Acting in an advisory role, he is the co-founder of http://www.nogle.com/ who are product designers and company builders. They team up with entrepreneurs and early-stage startups to turn ideas into products and companies by offering technology, funding, and connections.
Dana Coe – Founder, Bitlox – Acting in an advisory role, Dana L. Coe is a pioneer in the cryptocurrency security sphere and has been involved with Bitcoin since 2013. He was a part of the first wave of internet start-ups in the early 2000s, and this gives Mr. Coe a unique insight into business strategies and how to frame the discussion as to what direction a company should move in.
These ICO milestones are detailed in the whitepaper as well, up to the milestone of raising over 5 million dollars through their ICO. The Spending Overview is shown below.
3) Cost to hire and maintain an in-house business development and marketing team, or engaging an outsourced vendor for business development/marketing purposes, whichever is more cost effective.
1) Cost of to maintain operations team. This includes customer service support, finance department and project review team who will engage with our platform users on a regular basis.
2) Rental, furniture, utilities and equipment hardware cost for locations in which we have an office set up.
5) Coordinate with expert legal providers to support project creators for their ICO projects.

Jammu, April 8 (IANS) Jammu and Kashmir's former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah said on Sunday that conversion of the Line of Control (LoC) into a permanent border and restoration of internal autonomy to the state is the only way forward to resolve the Kashmir problem.
The National Conference President urged both India and Pakistan to resume the dialogue and engage people of the Valley in an acceptable solution.
"Then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had invited President Pervez Musharraf despite Kargil incursion and his political wisdom worked in terms of ceasefire agreement which brought cheer in the lives of border people for a pretty long time.


Soon after the publication of the story, Mrs Tsvangirai is understood to have rushed to South Africa while Mr Tsvangirai retreated to his rural home in Buhera where reports said he consulted village elders on how to handle this embarrassing matter which was coming soon after his crushing defeat in the July 31 harmonised elections.
In a scathing email dated Sunday March 3 2013 that was sent at 10:21am, Mrs Ngirazi said she was shocked that Mrs Tsvangirai was continuing the affair with her husband despite the fact that she was now married to a powerful husband.
"I write this email with an extremely heavy heart as you have made me resort to communicating with you which is something I had not anticipated doing.
"I have noted with deep concern that you are still communicating with my husband as evidenced by the love messages I saw that you sent him. I have been silent thus far and maintained my peace throughout all the embarrassing calls from the Press and all the nasty emails that circulated on the Internet.
"While everyone was crying out for my side and version of your character, I took it upon myself to distance myself from the charade for the sake of my family. Please don't mistake my silence for stupidity because I am certainly not," wrote Mrs Ngirazi.
She demanded to know how The Sunday Mail had got the email and pleaded that the paper should not publish the article but was told this was not possible as the writer has quite a number of emails chronicling the intimate relationship between Mrs Tsvangirai and Mr Ngirazi.
Mrs Tsvangirai could not be reached for a comment as her mobile phone was continuously unreachable.
However, in the email Mrs Ngirazi said to Mrs Tsvangirai: "What is most shocking to me is that you finally have a husband, money and status and yet you still want to engage in an affair with my husband, putting you all at risk as your husband is a very powerful man.
"While you may perhaps want to hide behind the fact that you have a child with my husband, given your torrid past I am in my legal rights to demand a DNA test proving paternity as I am inclined to believe that it is very questionable. I am well aware that you have been arranging for my husband to see your daughter Tashinga.
"Please remember that you knew full well my husband was a married man when you engaged in a relationship with him.
"Be that as it may you have to respect that he has a wife and children.
"Should your daughter truly be my husband's child, then I will not keep them apart, but it has to be done with my consent.
"Should you wish to discuss this matter further, I am more than happy to accommodate you. What I cannot accommodate is your continued persistence of your gestures of love to Kennedy. If you can't respect the sanctity of your own marriage, maybe it's too much to ask that you respect mine.
It could not be established whether Mrs Tsvangirai later met Mrs Ngirazi to discuss the issue which is set to continue straining the PM's shaky marriage.
In one of the emails that we published last week, Mrs Tsvangirai wrote to Mr Ngirazi saying: "Why ndisingaitwewo good morning, good night. Ndatsamwa. Asi you are still deciding? Or you haven't made up your mind.
Mr Ngirazi responded saying: "Good afternoon, my love. You know very well you are always on my mind. Hapana chekumbo decider.


Kokkarakko, a new restaurant with no frills was a surprise package for us. The homely ambience and the service confirmed that we will be having a great experience. These days quality food alone does not suffice, we look for service and ambience has taken a new form, we look for a place which is not noisy that we cannot hear our own voice. Kokkarakko gives us a homely feel and the food that we tasted also gave us the same. No preservatives, no stored vegetables ( all are procured fresh), and traditional spices made our dinner a good experience.
Given the list of items available, it is a haven for non-veg eaters with Khadaknath chicken – we were told, it is a specific exotic variety of black chicken procured from Madhya Pradesh, and many other items. Vegetarian food was no less, we had a good range of starters, main course and desserts and yes, the pricing is another big plus. Quite affordable, Kokkarakko has unlimited vegetarian meals of 24 items for Rs.149.
On our usual stroll in Phoenix mall, we came across Chianti and decided to try it out. Chianti is the new Italian restaurant and if you are a Masterchef aficionado, you will be glad that we can try out those lovely Italian dishes in real out here at Chianti. The food was absolutely yummy and the service impeccable. Be ready to see a menu which has Italian names of the dishes and a supportive staff who is ready to assist you. Here is the list of dishes we had – Zucca De Pomodoro, Piatto Di Vegetariani, Ravioli De Spinachi E Ricotta and Pannacotta with Berry Compote.
We begin with a Complimentary Chianti Bruschetta which we prepare given the ingredients. Every table has a simple instruction on the table and it was fun preparing our own Bruschetta with Baguettes, garlic, cherry tomatoes, basil and olive oil. We were so busy preparing and eating it as our Zucca (soup) was getting ready.
The dishes we had include Tomato Dhaniya Soup and Murungakkai (Drumstick) soup,Crispy corn, Tapioca Crispy fries, Vazhaipoo 65, chilli gobi, Apollo paneer, Avakkai Rice, Baby PotatoBiryani, Thenkasi Chilly Parotta, Malapoondu Kuzhambu, Kuzhi Paniyaram, Benne dosai, Mushroom masala dosai, and indesserts, Falooda and a classic way to finish a South Indian meal – FilterCoffee.
Craving for authentic Asian food especially vegetarian food, head to Tuk Tuk Asia located next to Fat Boy Pizza, Alwarpet, Chennai. It is q difficult task to serve Asian Vegetarian food without the hint of the sea food smell but Tuk Tuk Asia made us forget the thought of it by its well-seasoned adapted versions of lip-smacking Asian Food. Understanding the role of sauces in Chinese food, we have been keen to test it out in every Asian food outlet we go. Here too, the sauces ruled with some beautiful in-home preparations that made every dish spectacular. The menu has soups, salads, dimsums, stir fries, small plates – Fried and sauce tossed, Big plates, curries and a total Non-veg only tuk tuk asia special. Many dishes have the Veg and Non-veg option and ours, as always is the Vegetarian food review. We had soup, dimsum, small plates – fried, sauce tossed, big plates, curries and dessert. We also had watermelon juice and pineapple juice.
Masterchef season is On in Star World and for those Masterchef fans out here, there is certainly a change in the way we look at food and its presentation. Though we do enjoy the presentation, there is always this absence of not getting to taste that description, the great chefs George, Gary and the food critique Matt so adoringly explain through their words and expressions. To a certain level, we got an experience which made us connect to those food at the Café CakeBee, the newly opened Café at Seethammal Road, Alwarpet, Chennai. The location is a bit difficult to locate now as it is still not up in the map, but do not worry, we are putting the location map at the end of the post, because we are sure you will want to visit it as soon as possible.
Kerala food is quite popular in Chennai with few specialty restaurants serving authentic mallu cuisine. It was a welcome food festival at Courtyard Marriott – Paprika café as Chef Saji P Alex, the masterchef who has cooked for Ellen de Generes, curated the special dishes that spelt traditional Kerala food in every mouth. The festival is on till 20th, do read our experience and look out for that exquisite offering at Rs.1399 plus taxes. The festival menu has the special dishes along with the regular menu and is quite widespread and quite satisfying to our palate. We had starters, main course, dessert and a special mention to the chips and pickles that drew us repeatedly towards the counter. The ambience was so aesthetically organized to give a street food feel and being in Kerala environment. Now to the food – We had two starter options Cheeri masala vada. This was our typical south Indian vada, a crunchy spicy starter, a good start to a lovely culinary experience.
Should food festivals revolve only around continental cuisine……? No not necessary proved the recent food experience at Regenta Central Deccan's Olives restaurant where Chef Arun and Kumbakonam Mrs. Prema Nambiraj ( Kumbakonam Prema mami) presented us with vegetarian nostalgic delights as a part of the Mylai Mami Samayal festival. The festival is on till May 6th – more details at the end of the review.
The immediate thought that came into our head was that of a relief that Chennai does celebrate its own cuisine with pomp and show. Very often, we face situations where people from outside Tamilnadu visit Chennai and request us to give them the option to have local food in home style. It was always a tough call and we end up hosting them in friends' places. Regenta Deccan must be applauded for bringing in Mrs. Prema from Kumbakonam for this festival.
This post is going to be one awesome experience of pure vegetarian food that spanned multi cuisines and each one outperformed the other. Few of the dishes were exemplary in comparison to the others, but overall it was a lovely culinary journey for us. Most of us know Prive restaurant located opposite to Citi center and this is their new restaurant at Kilpauk at Waddels road. Located in first floor, it is quite spacious to host groups also. New inclusion in the menu includes Mexican dishes, Italian dishes and North Indian food. We had a full course dinner starting from Soups, starters, main course and desserts.
Mexican food was absolutely yummy. Spinach quesadilla and cottage cheese, Mexican Lasagna, Nachos with Cheese sauce, Mexican Varderashvardesh were the hot picks.
Themed restaurants improvise eating experience and breaks the monotony of the dining environment. Kaidi Kitchen (Jail Samayalarai), a multicuisine vegetarian restaurant is focused on giving you an experience of being inside a jail. There are cells and the service team is all dressed up in uniforms and the décor suits the theme. We visited the restaurant to experience the new big menu introduced by the restaurant. Primarily, the food and variety were excellent. We had a full course meal beginning with the Mongolian rice soup and ending it with a baked rasogolla and sizzling brownie icecream.


Why is 'Q' always followed by 'U' ?
Here we are using a pair of letters to represent a single sound /cue/ which may seem redundant.Such words are called Digraphs. But if you want to blame someone for this redundancy, well you have to blame a whole bunch of ancestors of our English language.
Nah!, Just Kidding !It all started in the 11th century.
So, Why did the French people have 'QU' in their language?
That is because, Latin had it. Latin uses 'C' for 'K' sounds. But when there is 'KW', it uses 'Q'. And, as, French has descended from Latin, they borrowed the 'Q'.
|| Do you know that there is a theory, according to which Q,U are symbolic representations of Romeo and Juliet and so, they should always be together?
How did the Latin get it?
From here the story starts to get tricky. But its the opinion of the majority that the two different sounds for representing /k/ sound in Latin came from Phoenicians (present day Greece and parts of Arabic countries of Asia and Africa). The Greeks had two symbols to represent the /ka/ sound, Kappa (Κ,κ) and Koppa (Ϙ). Koppa (or Qoppa) was used for /k/, whenever it is succeeded by 'u' or 'o'. So, this Koppa was most likely the ancestor of our present day 'Q'.
In fact, if you see, the symbol for Koppa is very similar to that of Q, one more evidence to support the theory. Also, the Arab countries of Asia have a hard guttural /k/ sound as in Iraq or Qat, which is also considered by some as the origin for Koppa and so, in a way for 'Q' as well.
So, there you go. The letter 'Q', as we now know came from Arabic through Phoenician, Latin, French and finally to English. So, it traveled a long way before it came in to English.
It also shows us how diversified this world is. We keep putting ourselves in the closets of our countries, religions and teams, but these kind of examples show us that we have a lot more in common than we think.
So, Give respect , Get respect and as always, HAPPY READING !!

The 2015 Human Rights Report – Indigenous Rights 2014/5: Death by a Thousand Paper Cuts?
Published May 14, 2015 May 18, 2015 by Melissa Castan in Australia, Australian Law, Indigenous rights, Indigenous Rights
By Stephen Gray and Melissa Castan
This piece is featured in the 2015 Castan Centre Human Rights Report. We will be featuring the articles on the blog throughout the month of May.
In the past twelve months, Australian Indigenous affairs have witnessed three so-called 'developments': more weighty and bewildering government reports; more unsuccessful test cases brought by Indigenous Australians seeking recognition of their rights; and more disturbing statistics, particularly relating to incarceration and early death.
In February 2015, Prime Minister Tony Abbott released the 7th annual Closing the Gap report. Spin aside, the report largely confirmed information buried in a lengthy government paper, Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage: Key Indicators 2014. At a cool 3,252 pages, the OID report was a door-stopping addition to what Jon Altman called the "evaluation fetishism" in Indigenous affairs – a white man's dreaming that yielded a stack of reports half a metre high in just one month.
But what did the OID report reveal? Some good news, its authors claim. Indigenous child mortality is lower, and life expectancy has increased. Indeed, the 'gap' between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal life expectancy has actually narrowed in the five years to 2010/12, from 11.4 years to 10.6 years for males, and from 9.6 years to 9.5 years for females. This gets the OID Report's green tick of approval even though it is really a failure, on these figures, it would take women 495 years and men 66.5 years to 'close the gap', but the COAG target is to close it by 2031.
The green tick reflects the report's focus on 'change over time in outcomes' for Indigenous Australians (or 'improving wellbeing'), rather than on 'closing the gap'. Watch this space carefully, lest the 'closing the gap' targets be quietly shelved in the benign language of bureaucratese.
But there are more disturbing issues. A recent report of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights found that the Stronger Futures legislation (which replaced the Howard Government's Northern Territory Emergency Response package of legislation) is not entirely compatible with human rights, and particularly the Racial Discrimination Act (RDA).
Measures in the new legislation relating to alcohol, land reform, income management, school attendance and more were specified by the former Labor government in the Explanatory Memorandum as 'special measures', which are permitted by the RDA and international law. However, the Committee found no evidence that they fit this definition. For example, as the Committee pointed out, how can a measure criminalising conduct by some members of a group be a 'special measure' for the supposed benefit of the rest?
While international law has limited sway in Australian domestic politics these days, one might expect it to have more influence in the rarefied atmosphere of the High Court. In the Maloney case, the Court held that the Queensland government's alcohol laws on Palm Island were 'special measures', even though the government had not consulted with the local population, and no international body had previously characterised such laws as a 'special measure'. This argument could have absurd conclusions, such as harsh sentences for Aboriginal offenders being characterised as 'special measures' because they allow other law-abiding Aboriginal people to enjoy their human rights more fully.
The test cases
Two test "stolen" cases were recently rejected by the courts. In Collard, an Aboriginal couple whose children were removed by Native Welfare in WA in the 1950s failed to satisfy a court that the State owed them a fiduciary duty, or that such a duty, if owed, had been breached. And in a case in the Queensland District Court, Yeatman, an Aboriginal elder, failed to establish a claim for 'stolen wages' which he alleged had been kept in trust for him and never returned. Both these cases raise familiar difficulties for Aboriginal plaintiffs – problems of proof, or establishing wrongs done many years ago to the exacting standards of a court.
In future, governments of all persuasions may have less bother with test cases. As last year's report pointed out, Aboriginal legal services have been largely defunded, with over $42 million cut from the Indigenous Policy Reform Program, and funding cuts aimed 'at de-funding law reform and policy activities'.
There will, however, be more work for prisons and hospitals. As the OID Report revealed, the suicide death rate for Indigenous people is over twice the rate for non-Indigenous people, and hospitalisation for intentional self-harm rose by 48 percent over the past seven years. Moreover, the adult imprisonment rate increased 57 percent between 2000 and 2013. Juvenile detention rates are even higher, at around 24 times the rate for non-Indigenous people. Homicide rates are very high among Indigenous people – although, amazingly, there were no homicides where the victim and offender were strangers.
Is it any wonder, amidst all this, that Indigenous people continue to push for an apparently stalled constitutional referendum, perhaps even one that recognises their human rights?

Why Are Consumers so Confident?
Travis Hoium, The Motley Fool
Consumers are more confident than they've been in six years despite an unemployment rate of 7.6%, and an economy that's growing at a snail's pace. Given the economic backdrop, it seems strange, but I think there are three reasons most consumers are feeling good about their personal situations -- and it may help fuel the recovery.
The fear of getting fired
In 2008 and 2009, layoffs were rampant, and anyone who had a job was just hoping to keep it. I was one of those who were laid off as the economic fallout spread, and I could see those around me becoming less and less secure in their own jobs. It's impossible to feel confident about the economy or your personal spending when there's a constant fear of losing your job, and that's a big reason why confidence fell.
What's changed since early 2009 is a steady improvement in initial unemployment claims, aka layoffs. In fact, we're now at a level of initial claims for unemployment that matches the low during the 2000s.
US Initial Claims for Unemployment Insurance Chart
US Initial Claims for Unemployment Insurance data by YCharts
Today, people are less fearful they'll lose their jobs, and that may do more to help confidence than anything else.
Stock markets are up
There's some sort of psychological affect the stock market has on people, whether they're active investors or not. When the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are reaching new highs, people have a positive view of the economy and the companies they work for, whether it's justified or not.
The financial impact can be important for some, as well. When stocks go up, 401ks go up in value, personal portfolios go up, and even pensions look safer than they do in bad times (except for Detroit).
The bottom line is that a good stock market makes people feel better, and with the Dow and S&P 500 hitting new highs almost every week, it's a confidence boost.
Right side up home values
For homeowners, there may not be anything worse than being upside down on your mortgage. Foreclosure can be devastating, and even a short sale will ding your credit for a number of years, even when it's the right financial move. That's why rising home prices around the country give millions of people a boost of confidence, even when the economy isn't growing.
In June, the median sales price for existing homes was up 13.5% from a year ago, to $214,200, the 16th consecutive month prices have risen. The National Association of Realtors also said that the annual rate of sales of homes rose 15.2% last month to 5.08 million, so it's easier to sell your home.
The boost to confidence isn't just that prices are going up, it's that fewer people are underwater on their homes. When people are underwater, it's harder to take a job elsewhere and sell your home, and people feel more wealthy when they have equity in their homes. All around, it's a boost to confidence.
An economy to be confident in... for most
These three factors should have most Americans feeling confident about their futures, but there's still a long way to go before we can all feel confident. An unemployment rate of 7.6% leaves a lot of people behind, and until that improves, there will be a cap on growth in the U.S. The good news is that consumers are 70% of the economy, and happy consumers means more economic activity and, hopefully, more jobs to fill.
With the American markets reaching new highs, investors and pundits alike are questioning future growth prospects for stocks. They shouldn't be. Many global regions are still stuck in neutral, and their resurgence could result in windfall profits for select companies. A recent Motley Fool report, "3 Strong Buys for a Global Economic Recovery," outlines three companies that could take off when the global economy gains steam. Click here to read the full report!

Known for their yearly parade, the Boston Pride Committee has been serving the community since 1970.
Every year the Boston Living Center marches in the Boston Pride Parade. The BLC sets up a committee, has a float, and throws goodies into the crowd.
This year marks the 40th anniversary for Boston Pride. Boston Pride Week 2010 will be June 4-13, and the theme is "Riots to Rights- Celebrating 40 Years of Progress." This theme is in memory of the 1969 Stonewall Riots which, according to Boston Pride, began the modern Gay Rights movement.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride dates back to the Stonewall Riots, and parades became more organized in the 1980s. The San Fransico Pride parade is one of those organized parades, and is also one of the most well-known parades. "A world leader in the Pride movement," according to their website, San Francisco is also celebrating their 40 year anniversary this June.
This year's Boston Pride parade will be Saturday, June 12 at noon. It will begin on Tremont St., and end at the Pride Festival at City Hall. The celebration will be filled with merchandise vendors and community groups.
To give to Boston Pride, volunteer, or learn more, visit the Boston Pride website.
Scientifically proven, the L.I.F.E. (Learning Immune Function Enhancement) program offered at the Boston Living Center is changing lives.
L.I.F.E. is an interactive program that teaches those with HIV/AIDS "sixteen cofactors, which have been proven to boost the immune system, reduce health risks and increase adherence to HIV medications," according to the BLC website.
More than thirty years of research has gone into this program, and it is constantly re-assessed. According to the Shanti website, coordinators are always on the lookout for new issues that need to be addressed.
L.I.F.E. encourages both taking tradition HIV medication, and also inspection of the "internal" and "external" aspects that affect people living with HIV, according to Shanti.
"It's not just about medication, not at all," said one new L.I.F.E. member at the Boston Living Center.
The Boston Living Center is the only location in Massachusetts to offer the L.I.F.E. program. L.I.F.E. meets twice a week for eight weeks, and ends with a graduation ceremony. Program leaders at the BLC include Coordinator Betsy Simmons, Member Services Manager Celixia Rodriguez, and two peer-facilitators who are L.I.F.E. graduates.
BLC members discover the program by word of mouth, referral by a healthcare or other type of provider, and encouragement from peer recruiters.
Becoming a part of the L.I.F.E. program takes multiple steps. "It is a big commitment," said Betsy Simmons. To become a L.I.F.E. participant, BLC members have to meet with Betsy Simmons, sign an agreement letter, and complete an online self-assessment that lasts an hour and a half to two hours. This assessment is the beginning of the L.I.F.E. process, which involves "self-awareness" and "courage," according to Ms. Simmons.
The same self-assessment form is completed at the end of the eight weeks so that members can see their progress. For one of the peer-facilitators, this self-assessment was what made him realize L.I.F.E. changed his life. "It's been an exciting journey," he said.
This peer-facilitator decided to become a group leader because he wants to "give back some of that nurturing" that the BLC staff gave to him. "They fostered me; made me feel comfortable," he said.
Typically, there are ten to fifteen members enrolled in the L.I.F.E. program at a time. Currently, the BLC is trying to attract more female members to the L.I.F.E. program because according to Betsy Simmons, there are often only one or two women per class.
Each meeting is based around a different cofactor. Some cofactors are: Risky & Healthy Behaviors, Toxins, Germs, Drugs & Alcohol, Greif & Depression, Survival Stress & Coping, Relationship with Healthcare Provider, and Life Purpose, Meaning & Goals.
The meeting continues with a few minutes to check in with members to see how they are doing. Next, is a twenty minute power point presentation about "the science of mind-body health," according to Betsy Simmons.
Meetings proceed with a one on one debriefing period, followed by larger group discussion. Ms. Simmons explained that just talking with another person and sharing thoughts with them has been known to help support the immune system.
According to Betsy Simmons, members then write in a journal about what they've done to support health that week and what they've done to risk it. After a ten minute social break, members make a plan for the next week. "It's a positive, hopeful ending," said Ms. Simmons.
Throughout the L.I.F.E. process BLC members have two to four individual health counseling sessions with one of the four facilitators.
Betsy Simmons explained that no person makes the right decisions for their body all the time. "We're not going for purity, we're going for balance," she said.
This quote is located on page 241 of the Graduation portion of the Shanti L.I.F.E. Program Participant Guidebook Version 3.2.
Graduation is an exciting time for L.I.F.E. members, but their work does not end there. "It's the beginning of a long journey," said Betsy Simmons. The Boston Living Center L.I.F.E. graduation is held in the Dining Facility. There is a meal, followed by a time for graduates to speak. Each graduate is given a donated gift and a certificate, and their picture is taken.
The latest L.I.F.E. session at the Boston Living Center has fifteen members and began March 16th.

Google releases instant messaging web client for iPhone
I'm not particularly a part of the consolidated Google empire. I've got a Gmail account, but it's relegated mainly to collecting spam, or messages from people who can't remember my actual email address. But I know plenty of people who swear by Google's web-based email and its attendant calendar and chat programs.
And given that Google's been making a habit of tuning its websites to be more iPhone friendly, it's little surprise that they've created a new version of Google Talk, their instant messaging application, that's specifically designed for the iPhone.
To access the new version, just surf to http://www.google.com/talk, and you'll be launched into the stripped down interface. From there, you can view your contacts, send instant messages, and even set your status.
I don't really have a lot of contacts on my Google Talk list, as you can see pretty clearly—most of my friends are AIM aficionados. But it's good to know that should I ever decide to change allegiances to the Google side of the fence, I'll be able to do so on my iPhone pretty easily.

Q: Как динамически добавить параметр в форму и отправить ее в новое окно? Имеется форма с полями.
В нее добавлена кнопка и скрытый чекбокс.
Необходимо при нажатии на кнопку, добавить к форме параметр со значением и отправить форму в новое окно.
Другими словами, форма работает с фильтрами и разными кнопками и чекбоксами, и нельзя на постоянной основе добавлять в нее поля, иначе она перестанет выполнять функции админки. Но необходимо отправить флаг который можно перехватить в коде и поменять логику, в моем случае сделать выгрузку данных.
Проблема: Если использовать click, то при нажатии на кнопку, форма постится и данные выгружаются. Но чекбокс остается помеченным, что ломает работу админки.
Если использовать mousedown и mouseup, то параметр чекбокса не улетает на сервер.
Что тут можно придумать?
Код кнопки и обработка:
<div class="btn-group hidden-phone">
    <button id="export-btn" class="btn btn-success" type="submit" formtarget="_blank" >Экспорт</button>
    <input class="element-invisible" type="checkbox" name="export" value="export-items" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    !(function() {

        jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

            $('#export-btn').on('mousedown', function(event) {

                //event.preventDefault();
                var element = $(this).closest('div.btn-group').find('[type="checkbox"]');
                $(element).prop('checked', true);

            });

            $('#export-btn').on('mouseup', function(event) {

                //event.preventDefault();
                var element = $(this).closest('div.btn-group').find('[type="checkbox"]');
                $(element).prop('checked', false);

            });

        });

    })();
</script>

A: Не надо ничего помечать и отпомечать. Уберите чекбокс. Добавьте в кнопку name и value.
<button id="export-btn" name="export" value="export-items" class="btn btn-success"
  type="submit" formtarget="_blank">Экспорт</button>

Q: Why is DataReader and DataWriter class not found in Java like DataStreamReader and DataStreamWriter? I am learning java io. But I found that DataReader and DataWriter class are not there in java like DataInputStream and DataOutputStream. Why?
I mean there are analogous class like FileInputStream and FileReader, then why not these?

A: Because they wouldn't make sense. Readers and Writers are for text and nothing else. Input and OutputStreams are for binary data, including all the things that DataInput/OutputStream provide such as readInt(), which reads a 4-byte binary integer in network byte order. You won't find that in a text file.


My 3 Year Old Daughter Screams And Is Very Violent Every Night!
So this has been going on since she was 2. And occasionally I will get a couple night's break where this doesn't happen but it is almost every night and sometimes up to 3 times a night.
She will start crying and screaming no or stop or just something in an angry way (not scared) I tell her I'm here and she will start hitting me sometimes. A couple times it was so violent she picked up a space heater and threw it across the room and then tried digging through our wood floor.
I'm exhausted and just don't know what to do anymore. She is a very sweet smart girl all day. She rarely is mad or crying but as soon as she falls asleep i know it won't be long before she is freaking out!!! I would like to understand why this happens and what I can do to help her and me.
Comments for My 3 Year Old Daughter Screams And Is Very Violent Every Night!
Your post so far is the only one that describes a very similar situation to ours. Our son is violent, not scared, and he lashes out at us (usually me, Dad, but often mom as well). From all the descriptions of night terrors, it just doesn't seem to fit.
He starts thrashing and punching and kicking while screaming 'I hate you, go away' at the top of his lungs. He doesn't appear fully conscious but he sometimes responds coherently to a question.
Have you found any more answers to this?
I would love to connect to share stories to see if there are similarities.

Mitsubishi Motors History
Car manufacture under the Mitsubishi name goes back to 1917 with the Mitsubishi Model A, the first series-production passenger car to be made in Japan (22 were produced). After WWII, the company launched the Mizushima small three-wheeled cargo vehicle, the Silver Pigeon scooter, and the Leo light three-wheel vehicle. Then in 1953 it began production and sales of the Jeep in Japan under license to Willys-Overland Motors of America.
The launch of the Mitsubishi 500 in 1960 marked the company's entry into the small passenger car market. Envisioning the future of the automobile industry, the company started its journey in the 1960s with the Colt series, including the Colt 1000 and the Colt 800, Japan's first fastback; with the Mitsubishi 360 light van that pioneered Mitsubishi's light vehicle development, and the Minica sedan; and with the Delica small commercial vehicle.
In late 1969, the company launched the Colt Galant, which brought recognition of the company as a manufacturer of passenger cars, and started exporting to overseas markets. It also launched the Lancer small sedan, the Galant Sigma luxury sedan and the Mirage, the company's first front-engine front-wheel drive model. With the Lancer winning the WRC Safari Rally and other such achievements, the 1970s was a decade in which the company started to show its technological prowess to the world.
During the 1980s, the company became a driving force behind the boom in recreational vehicles with the sedan-flavor Pajero full-feature 4WD, with Japan's first 4WD 1-box minivan the Delica Star Wagon, and with the Forte 4WD pickup. With a view to the growing market, the company introduced a number of advanced 4WD-based models, including the three-row Chariot, a pioneer of the minivan segment, and the Galant full-time 4WD sedan.
During the 1990s, the company launched several distinctive models meeting ever-diversifying customer needs, including the Lancer Evolution high-performance 4WD model, the GTO and FTO sport models, the RVR sedan-type RV, the Diamante high-quality hardtop, the Mini Toppo height-wagon class pioneer, and the Pajero Mini kei-version of the Pajero. The company also built up a glowing track record in the Dakar Rally, WRC and other events in the world of motorsport.
The noughties saw the company adding to its SUV lineup with the launch of the its first crossover SUV the Airtrek (Outlander). With a view to the future, the company also took up the challenge of electrification and in 2009 introduced the iMiEV, the world's first mass-produced next-generation electric vehicle and the crystallization of many years of EV development at the company. The company was also honing its 4WD technology with the launch of the Lancer Evolution X which used the advanced S-AWC integrated vehicle behavior control system.

Q: Using ` Eigen::aligned_allocator` on `std::vector` on classes containing Eigen types According to Eigen's documentation when creating a std::vector with a "fixed-size vectorizable Eigen types", the Eigen::aligned_allocator must be used, e.g.:
std::vector<Eigen::Vector4f,Eigen::aligned_allocator<Eigen::Vector4f> > myVector;

I have a class containing fixed-size Eigen members, and a std::vector of that class, e.g.:
class myClass{
public:    Eigen::Vector2d v;
}
//...
std::vector<myClass> myVector;
std::vector<myClass*> myPtrVector;

Question: Am I required to use Eigen::aligned_allocator for vectors of classes containing Eigen members (the same way as vectors of Eigen types directly)?
(I'm using Visual Studio 2013, if that matters)

A: I believe the answer is yes.
The very first sentence on the page you referenced says "... or classes having members of such types, requires taking the following two steps

*

*A 16-byte-aligned allocator must be used. Eigen does provide one ready for use: aligned_allocator.

*If you want to use the std::vector container, you need to #include .

Chanel Contos calls for 'toxic masculinity' lessons as part of new Victorian consent education
Young students are set to be taught about the dangers of "toxic masculinity" and s***-shaming as an Aussie state rolls out a new program.

'Crippling': Major flaw with school return
Students walk over Covid conditions
'Offensive': Teachers rip into ScoMo
Sex education campaigner Chanel Contos is working with the Victorian Government on lessons that she hopes will teach students about "toxic masculinity" and "sl*t shaming".
The Sydneysider has been pushing for earlier and more "holistic" education in schools around sex, relationships and consent after a petition she made brought forward thousands of stories of sexual assault from students and former students across Australia.
Her push has already made waves in NSW, where students are expected to have a much bigger say on what their sex education lessons will look like and NSW Police unveiled an operation to make it easier for alleged sexual assault victims to come forward.
Now it has been revealed she is in conversations with the Victorian Government about modifying the 'Respectful Relationships' lessons that are already taught in Victorian public schools, to include a specific section on consent.
She told the Herald Sun she has been working with Education Minister James Merlino's department to contribute to the curriculum and push for key themes to be taught in Victorian schools.

"I've been working with them on creating the content … I feel like people don't know that oral sex is sexual assault and that your boyfriend, friend or someone you know personally can rape you – this needs to be taught," she said.
"We need to talk about the difference between toxic masculinity and normal masculinity. We need to talk about sl*t shaming and the fact that girls' sexual pleasure is so taboo."
Deakin University Associate Professor Debbie Ollis, a lead researcher in education who helped develop 'Respectful Relationships', said the curriculum needed to be constantly updated to stay relevant and suggested issues like toxic masculinity could be taught by looking at the impact of social media and media.
Late last month, the Victorian Government announced it would make consent education mandatory in public schools.
Employment Minister Jaala Pulford said teaching school students about sexual consent was a "very important step".
"This will build on the current program which is significant and does cover consent," she said at a press conference.
"But what we're hearing from students is that they believe that an expansion and a greater depth to this training is required."
She said the specifics of what the consent education program would look like were being worked out.

RELATED: Massive change to sex education lessons
"We'll work with education experts and also young people to understand where the opportunities are for the best possible education for boys and girls, and people who are almost young men and young women, in the school system in a way that's age appropriate but also provides a very deep understanding for everyone about what consent means and why it matters," she said.
However, there has been a pushback against the methods being used in some schools in the state, with one college forcing male students to apologise to female students on behalf of their gender.
Brauer College, in Warrnambool, held an assembly where the boys were told to stand in solidarity for female students who had experienced sexual harassment.
Outraged parents hit out at the move, saying it had left their sons "confused and upset" for apologising for something they "had not done".
Ms Contos said the school's gesture was "problematic".
"It doesn't address the root of the problem," she told NCA NewsWire. "We can't make it seem like men are being the heroes here.
"If all men are to all stand in solidarity they kind of have a get-out-of-jail-free card – I'm obviously on the girl's side, but will they (boys) still go to the locker room after school and talk about a girl they had sex with on the weekend really inappropriately, maybe, probably?
"We need to make sure as a society that movements towards reconciliation are movements towards making a better future … we can't make a hostile environment for people to offer up solutions."
The NSW government's plan to return students to school on time could be derailed by a 'crippling' problem which has emerged.
Global Coronavirus
Students in state schools have created a "literal Covid-19 breeding ground", but many US states remaining firm on continuing in-person classes.
Teacher unions have blasted Scott Morrison, accusing him of being "offensive" after he announced a new policy they've labelled a "failure".

by Luke Tredget
Fiction / Fiction / Dystopian
Black Mirror meets Bridget Jones in this whip-smart debut set in a world where the ultimate matchmaking app has redefined romance.
Twenty-nine-year-old Anna is smart, vivacious, and in the midst of a complete existential meltdown. Sure, from the outside everything in her life seems to be going just fine: She has a decent job, a devoted BFF, and a lovely boyfriend named Pete with whom she is exactly 70% compatible, according to Kismet, the matchmaking app that everyone in Anna's world uses to find love.
Still . . . isn't there supposed to be more to life than this? Should she settle for a secure and predictable existence with Pete, or risk everything for a life of passion and adventure?
With true adulthood (the dreaded thirty) just weeks away, Anna secretly re-joins Kismet, and soon encounters Geoff, a dashing, forty-something journalist with whom she has a shockingly high compatibility score of 81. How can she not at least see where this goes . . . ? A funny and propulsive love story for our over-networked age, Kismet challenges us to take stock of how technology shapes our desires and what it means to "settle."
"The ennui of the modern-day privileged class has rarely been captured as poignantly as in Luke Tredget's Kismet, a deeply felt reflection of the ways in which technology that was supposed to bring people closer together often only serves to isolate them (and occasionally drive them mad). And as Tredget's complicated, often frustrating, but eminently relatable protagonist shows, the truest human connection occurs when we put our phones away."—DoreeShafrir, author of Startup
"Tredget writes a funny, timely story, with flawed and relatable characters, about how technology affects our desires and what it means to 'settle.' Though he satirizes modern dating and the idea of perfection in a relationship, he writes with an engaging warmth and lightness. Readers will surely enjoy this witty modern love story."—Booklist
"A sharply written and heartfelt story about the connections between us, technological or otherwise. Luke Tredget has created a protagonist so lovable that you won't be able to stop reading until you know her fate."—LeslieCohen, author of This Love Story WillSelf-Destruct
"Sharp, witty and full of tension...an intelligent and highly readable novel."—IrishTimes
"Tredget's trenchant, entertaining debut traces how big data and social media have become an obstacle for healthy relationships...An incisive view of the uncertainties of contemporary adulthood."—Publishers Weekly
"Kismet is compelling for more than its unflinching study of the infiltration of romance by technology and algorithms. At its heart this novel is about what endures in spite of all that; a modern love story of exceptional warmth, intelligence and humanity."—Luke Kennard, author of The Transition
it "[a] perceptive debut novel...[a] fast-moving and witty love story for the digital age."—Shelf-Awareness

What Women Think
What No One Understands About Being a Girl Who's 'One of the Guys'
By Liz Newman Published On 09/23/2016
@lizn813
By Liz Newman @lizn813 Published On 09/23/2016
Daniel Fishel/Thrillist
I was recently a grooms(wo)man in my (male) best friend's wedding. During the planning for said wedding, I received two very different kinds of pre-nuptial emails.
From the bride: "Hi Bridesmaids (and Liz!) -- Here is the dress for everyone. Liz, yours will be the black version of this."
From the groom: "Guys (and Liz). Here are the tuxes. Except for Liz's. She's in a dress or something. Let's make her stand directly next to [redacted], because remember, they used to bang."
On the big day, as I stood out amongst a sea of gold dresses and tuxes, it hit me that this whole experience was the perfect metaphor for my life. I am the black version of the dress. I'm a girl who has always been one of the guys, but also very much a girl; not really blending perfectly into either side. There are a bunch of perks, and plenty of detriments, to this life. Here's the brutal truth.
"Women can be territorial. But in reality, with pure guy friends, there is no ulterior motive."
Being "one of the guys" earns you a lot of labels
If you run with the boys, you're a guy's girl. A cool girl. A tomboy. A misfit. Or, on the other end of the spectrum: a slut. A tease. A homewrecker. People often confuse you for the women we all love to loathe -- the ones who talk about fellow ladies like this: "Girls just never seem to like me... [cue flipping of the hair]… I have no idea why."
Listen -- a women with no girlfriends is not to be trusted. And while I'm proud to say I'm not in that camp, women in my shoes are at least assumed to have an ulterior motive. Or, we're exalted for how cool we seem: the ones guys fall in love with, the ones other girls want to be. The "cool girls." Eh. It's all a bunch of symbolic labels that actually mean very little.
Not to say I don't understand those labels, or haven't cast them onto others myself. Women can be territorial. But in reality, with pure guy friends, there is no ulterior motive. No labels. Minus the anatomy, there is zero difference in how I feel about these friends -- they're basically girls (just don't tell them I said that).
Being one of the guys can be a lot of fun -- and not just because groomsman wedding prep (drinking whiskey, playing pool) smokes that of a bridesmaid (nail salons, hairdressers). But being confined to these labels can also feel claustrophobic.
You have to go through a different kind of adolescent agony
We all know teenage girls have it tough; going through a battle to make sense of societal standards being welded onto their adolescence (makeup, bras, acting shy, crossing our legs, competing for male attention, I can keep going here).
But there's a whole other layer on top of said growing pains when part of your coming-of-age story includes being wrested from the pack that raised you. I'll never forget my confusion when my mother pulled me aside and explained I would eventually have to put a shirt on while running around outside with the neighborhood boys.
But unlike a lot of my girlfriends, who over time learned to depend on each other and let the boys be boys, the solace I found in my guy friends stuck. The bond was deep -- and entirely platonic*.
Girlfriends absolutely hate you
They pretend so hard not to, but good Lord, your guy friends' girlfriends just can't stand you. In fact, how aggressively they try to friend the crap out of you is almost solely fueled by this hatred. There aren't exceptions to this, because even if his girlfriend/fiance/wife has come to terms with the nature of your "just friends" relationship, and may even genuinely like you now, she most definitely hated you initially.
Remember My Best Friend's Wedding? Yup, so does she. You're the one her bae came to first with his problems, who knows how to make his favorite birthday cake, and who knows every intimate detail of his life -- details she realizes she may never know. To rub more salt in this open wound, his parents likely adore you. Every time I put myself in these girlfriends' shoes, I honestly think about how much I would hate me too.
"Remember 'My Best Friend's Wedding'? Yup, so does she."
You get oddly comfortable being inappropriate
Sometimes I catch myself in group settings talking about things like The Pirate (two words: Urban Dictionary). Most times I even act it out with sound effects. Sure, it gets laughs (because The Pirate is hilarious), but here's the thing: I'm not always surrounded by a bevy of bros... and it's not typically thought of as the most ladylike thing in the world.
In the same way a lot of us probably don't realize how our Kardashian-saturated culture has caused us to say, "I know, right?" a lot more than we'd all like to admit, the crass behavior of my dude friends has become a very real part of my own personality. To my inner circle, it's not a big deal. But drop me into a different group, and things can get uncomfortable pretty fast.
It's like playing slaps as kids. Eventually your hands end up so pummeled they just stop hurting. My insides are like that -- after years of being playfully harassed and ridiculed by my guy friends and being part of all kinds of disgusting jokes and inappropriate pranks, I've grown a thick skin that I'm proud of -- but I also can't always draw a decency line.
Boyfriends are always suspicious of you
There was never a time in my life I didn't have to explain my relationships with guys to a significant other. And the thing is, I get it. I talk to a member of the opposite sex who isn't my boyfriend almost daily. Who wouldn't be threatened by that?
The whole When Harry Met Sally theory makes this a constant uphill battle: you can't possibly really just be friends with this guy, because guys and girls are never just friends. And no matter what you say, it's lose-lose. You can try convincing your S.O. that you've never hooked up with your best guy friend. He's like a brother to you. If that works, your boyfriend will be relieved -- but he'll also have residual resentment that there are things you've told this friend of yours that he will never know.
Which, if I'm being honest, is totally fair.
Or, in an attempt to be fully transparent, you might admit that you did hook up with your best guy friend just that once, but it was years ago, and you're pretty sure you both had just had Goldschläger shots for the first time. So it doesn't count.
Yeah… good luck with your boyfriend ever truly trusting you alone with this person.
"Let's just say I've doused plenty of potential sparks."
You approach romantic relationships with guys very differently
When you're surrounded by friends of the male variety, you tend to think guys may only be interested in you for that nature of relationship. But as one of my buddies very wisely clued me in, no guy initiates a relationship with a girl to just be friends. It can sometimes turn into that, but it's never the initial goal.
But there's something else to this, coming from the girl's perspective. I often view guys as non-romantic options from the jump, essentially friend-zoning myself. And believe me, prospective mates catch that vibe; often reading it as a "she must not be interested" rather than the more likely in my case "she's just entirely clueless she's doing this."
Let's just say I've doused plenty of potential sparks.
You're stuck being every guy's confidant, not one guy's everything
I'm living proof that an unbreakable, non-sexual guy-girl dynamic can exist. Still, it's naive to think those pesky laws of attraction don't occasionally rear their ugly heads. I've definitely experienced the frustration of serving as a man's go-to shoulder for all things love-related… and yet never being the person he's in love with.
And that's the dark side -- when, at some point, you wonder if this guy you've always loved so dearly might be actual boyfriend material. Then he comes over, holds your hand, and tells you: "I don't know what I'd do without you, I love you, you're the best." And then he gives you hugs and kisses and heads home to his girlfriend. It would wear on any person -- but there's a unique struggle for the girl who rolls with the boys, and realizes she's sought after for every role except that of the woman those boys want to love unconditionally, romantically… and forever and ever.
Would I ever actually change any of this? Absolutely not. These relationships have truly shaped my identity, and are a constant source of comfort for me; they remain long after the non-platonic ones come and go, which to me, makes them the most special ones that exist.
Plus, even tomboy Joey nabs Pacey in the end.
*Maybe we made out once, but it was a really long time ago… shut up.

Lomnický štít (, , , ) is one of the highest and most visited mountain peaks in the High Tatras mountains of Slovakia. Connected by cable car to Tatranská Lomnica, its summit is  above sea level, making it the second highest peak in the High Tatras after Gerlachovský štít (2654 m).

Local shoemaker and amateur miner Jakab Fábry stated he made an ascent around 1760–1790, but the first recorded ascent was made by the English traveler Robert Townson and guide on 16 August 1793. He measured the elevation of the peak to be 2633 m, a meter below the actual elevation. The first winter ascent was made in 1891.

In the past, Lomnický štít was called as Vater (Father), Grossvater (Grandfather), Königsberg (King's Mountain), Królowa Tatr and Królowa Tatrzańska (Princess of the Tatra), Petra altissima kesmarkiensis and allerhöchster Kaisermärkerfels (Highest cliff of Kežmarok), höchste Kaisermärker Spitze (Highest peak of Kežmarok), késmárki hegyek (Hills of Kežmarok), Kesmarker Spitze or Lumnitzer Spitze (Peak of Kežmarok or Peak of Lomnica).

Since 1940, tourists have reached the peak by cable car. They are allowed to stay on the peak for 50 minutes. The cable car system is normally closed in the month of May for annual maintenance. It is also possible to climb the peak from Lomnický Saddle, but this is only permitted with a mountain guide.

There is a solar observatory and weather station permanently manned year round at the terminus of the cable car.

Access
After Gerlachovský štít is Lomnický štít the second most guided peak in High Tatras. The most used is the Classic route also known as Emericyho nárek. The path is popular mostly because of easy access. You can take a lift from Tatranská Lomnica up to Lomnické sedlo (2189 meters above sea level) and from there straight forward to the top. The harder sections of the path are secured by steel steps and chains.

Another very popular route is called Jordanova cesta. The route begins at Starý Smokovec and within 3 hours and 35 minutes of hiking you will end up at Téryho Chata, where the challenging section begins. The route from here is relatively hard for orientation, the steep sections are however secured by chains.

The route called Medené Lávky starts at chata pri Zelenom plese, we head along an unmarked sidewalk over a kneeling path to the Čierny štít massif. At the waterfall we climb to the right to a pillar secured by chains. After it we will climb the threshold of the Veľká zmrzlá dolina, cross the stream and head left to the Medená kotlina. Through lifeless rubble fields we get to the main gutter, falling from the saddle between Kežmarok peaks. The path is very exposed to stone fall and recently is not as popular.

Gypsyho ferrata just like the classic route Emericyho nárek starts at Lomnické Sedlo, the real starting point is however hard to find. Gypsyho ferrata is secured with chains and steel steps, however full ferrata gear is due to extreme exposure in the upper section necessary.

The route through Cmiter starts at Skalnaté pleso, leading through Skalnatá dolina underneath to the massifs of Vidlové veže and Kežmarský štít. The route is exposed to stone fall. The harder sections require rope, since the path is not secured by any additional gear such as chains.
