'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Is Coming To Passover With Special Haggadah
Stephen Silver
Through two seasons, Amazon's TV series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has emerged as a major hit and cultural phenomenon. While the show, about a Jewish woman in 1950s Manhattan who decides to become a stand-up comedian, has generated with Jewish audiences, its popularity has extended far beyond.
With the show's considerable Jewish fan base in mind, Maxwell House Coffee is offering a special Marvelous Mrs. Maisel-themed Passover Haggadah, with the purchase of certain products.
The Haggadah, which is the book used for each year's Passover service, comes with illustrations of the entire cast of the series – including Rachel Brosnahan, Tony Shalhoub, Michael Zegan, Marin Hinkle and Kevin Pollak – at the Passover table.
The book is available from Amazon, which is also where the show streams.
"Midge Maisel is known for hosting elegant Passover seder dinners, and now you and your family can have a piece of Midge's seder at your own Passover table," the website says.
According to The Forward, Maxwell House has always been associated with Passover, and in 1923, it became the first company to produce a Kosher-for-Passover coffee. Joseph Jacobs, at the time, was able to convince rabbis that coffee was considered a fruit and therefore okay to be consumed during Passover. He went on to create a free Maxwell House Haggadah for distribution with the coffee beginning in the 1930s.
Last December, per The Nosher, the producers of the show partnered with Jewish delis to offer Mrs. Maisel-themed pastrami sandwiches. The Carnegie Deli, which re-opened as a pop-up restaurant after the iconic restaurant closed, offered the sandwich, which was called The Maisel. Other participating delis included Canter's Deli in Los Angeles, Manny's in Chicago, and the new Mamaleh's outside of Boston.

— JTA | Jewish news (@JTAnews) April 1, 2019
Over 55 million copies of that Maxwell House Haggadah have been distributed in the ensuing eight decades, per The Forward.
Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, best known for creating Gilmore Girls, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel debuted on Amazon in 2017 and has since aired two seasons, with a third season of the series currently shooting in New York City.
The series has won both an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series and a Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, with Brosnahan also winning both awards for acting. The series has won a total of eight Emmy Awards through its first two seasons.
Amazon has not yet announced a release date for the third season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Watch Michael Rooker Snore Through a Critical GUARDIANS 2 Scene
Posted by Blair Marnell on September 2, 2017
Against all expectations, Michael Rooker's Yondu emerged as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2's beating heart thanks to his performance, a handful of instantly iconic lines ("I'm Mary Poppins Y'all!"), and an emotional arc that brings the story full circle. The film is arguably among Rooker's best work to date, but even Rooker wasn't immune to fatigue or flubs on the set. Director James Gunn has released a new behind-the-scenes clip from one of Yondu's most pivotal scenes.
(Click the images to get the videos started.)
According to Gunn, Rooker's snoring was not a joke, and he added that "this was going on constantly while we were trying to shoot this scene, and it is completely real." As you can see in the clip, Chris Pratt manages to complete most of Star-Lord's eulogy for his surrogate father before Rooker's snores cut off his lines. Judging by the way that Pratt and the rest of the cast barely react to the sounds coming from Rooker, it seems safe to suggest that he had been out for a while.
Rooker may have slept through the emotional funeral for his character, but he got one of the best sendoffs that any Marvel Studios film has given to date. While it's not entirely out of the question for Rooker to reprise his role, we suspect that Yondu's future appearances will be limited to flashbacks and hallucinations.
Gunn also posted a video of Rooker in full Yondu makeup as he and Dave Bautista played ping pong on the set. As it turns out Drax is also the Destroyer of table tennis.

A little bit about Christina.
Why are you a travel advisor?
What is your passion about travel? I enjoy helping couples plan the most important day of their lives, their destination wedding and the beginning of their happily ever after, their honeymoon!
I enjoy ALL my trips, each has something special & unique to offer it is so hard to just pick one!
I love the beach and have traveled to many islands but the two that stand out in my mind are Croatia, and Ireland.
I have always enjoyed traveling and my husband and I have experienced some great travel experiences. My son is 5 yrs old now and we look forward to continuing to travel with him and share our love of travel. Seeing his face when he experiences new thing brings such joy to our hearts.
On our honeymoon, my husband and I spent part of the time at Disney's Animal Kingdom Resort.
Me: Im lookin at giraffes!
Me: Im looking at giraffes!
Me: its Christina, there are giraffes feeding outside of our room!
to this day we laugh about it every time.


Programmable for your own personal 3 heart rate zones.
It flashes colors that match the 3 zones for your ZONING or Threshold workout: Blue-Easy, Purple-Moderate, and Red-Hard.
Connects with the most popular health and fitness apps, including: the FREE Heart Zones Training app or others like Runkeeper, MapMyFitness, Strava, and more.
Waterproof up to 10-20 meters – Great for swimming and water aerobics.
Connects with the group heart rate training like the Heart Zones System.
Compatible with Garmin Vivofit wrist band which adds tracking steps and other step data as you are moving.
The new Heart Zones Blink 3.0 is a heart rate monitor/sensor that flashes 3 zone colors. It includes a programmable one-button sensor, one large and one small elastic armband, and one USB charger. The Blink 3.0 heart rate sensor/monitor is an all new workout tool for managing heart rate, calories burned, distance, pace, and more. It also works seamlessly with any iPhone or droid app. It's faster and easier to put on and more comfortable than bulky chest strap models, and it works with a wide array of devices from smartphones to tablets, fitness equipment to smart watches and other devices that support Bluetooth Smart or ANT+ heart rate data. It works with most popular fitness apps and has extended wireless range up to 100 feet. The Blink 3.0 is sweatproof, waterproof, and has two optical sensor lights – green for pale skin color and yellow for darker skin color for enhanced accuracy – the only one of its kind that allows superior measurement with all skin tones. For the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad user get your FREE Heart Zones Training app named Heart Zones Training. *Blink 3.0 requires a smart phone with a compatible app to display workout data – we recommend the FREE Heart Zones Training application* Why the Heart Zones Blink 3.0 is different than the Scosche Rhythm+?
It is DUAL: both an activity tracker and a heart rate monitor all in one sensor.
Heart Rate: It Blinks 3 zones colors that you can set individually with ceilings and floors that are saved in memory when the Armband is turned off.
Step Count: It uses a built-in accelerometer to record the total number of steps for the session, step rate, distance traveled during a session, and step data is stored in memory if it is out of range of device.
Battery Level: ANT+ or BLE with firmware updates "on the fly" which is updated.
I've wanted to switch to heart rate training for a long time but wasn't ready for a watch upgrade to have a heart rate monitor. This was my solution and I love it! It's super comfortable and I often forget that I'm wearing it. I also like that you can wear it on your wrist, ankle, or forearm and it still works in all spots. As for the app, it's really user friendly and gives you a lot of different data which really adds to my ability to gauge my effort on runs and time spent in the different zones. I really love this product!
I'm a long time runner who uses swimming as cross training. But in the past year, I have ventured from just running in marathons to dabbling in the triathlon. I do not know what I am doing on the bike, so using heart rate training is very helpful for me. I like the feel of the Blink 3.0 because it is light, no chest strap is required (just slip it on your arm), and it is visually appealing (and easy to read). Plus you can get the armband in about any color you want; I love PINK, it's my favorite! I would highly recommend this product! I feel confident I can use this product to my advantage as I move forward in my triathlon training.
This monitor has been amazing for me during my training runs! It's sleek and light, so I barely know it's there, and it connects to the Heart Zones app and my Garmin easily. I struggle with keeping my heart rate low enough on my long runs, and this has helped keep me more honest by letting me set my goal zones, and alerting me when I get outside of them. My fave part about this is how it's not at all bulky, and I can't accidentally hit buttons as I'm pulling down my arm warmers on a cold day. Works perfectly, and the battery life seems to be even longer than advertised.
We use the Blink 3.0 monitors at our club to support our interactive heart rate monitored classes, as well as our club fitness challenges. They are comfortable, accurate, and aesthetic. We love the simplicity and stability of this monitor. Highly recommend it for individuals and group settings alike!
I have recently started using the Blink 3.0 during my 2nd trimester of my pregnancy and love the simplicity, comfort, and data I get in return on my runs by just looking at the flashing lights to give me my heart rate zones. I enjoy using this on my easy recovery run days to make sure that I am in fact keeping my heart rate where I want it. The convenience factor alone of wearing it on my forearm prevents the chafing and hassle of wearing a chest strap and would highly recommend this to any athlete or individual interested in monitoring heart rate during any level of activity!!
I have just started using my Blink 3.0 in my current half marathon training cycle after doing a lot of reading on the benefits of heart rate (HR) training. I had always wanted to experiment with HR training, but many heart rate monitors require a chest strap and I definitely didn't want to go that route, as I find chest straps to be annoying while running while also causing chaffing. The Blink 3.0 is super easy to use, comfortable to wear, data from it is downloaded on a convenient app, and the information that it provides has proven to be invaluable to my training. I am slowly realizing that I'm working too hard on my easy/recovery runs and also that I could be going a little harder on my workouts. If you like to be aware of and utilize the concept of heart rate zones in your training, the Blink 3.0 is perfect for you! I definitely recommend the Blink 3.0 to any athlete that is looking to improve through the use of data in their workouts.
I started using the Blink 3.0 a few weeks ago when my coach suggested I begin heart rate (HR) training, particularly for my easy and recovery runs. While I have a GPS activity watch with wrist HR data, I was concerned the readings weren't always so accurate. I was thrilled to have something that was so light and comfortable to wear around my arm, instead of a chest strap (hello chaffing!). It did take me a skinny minute to get the app and the Blink to work together for me, but there was a great video to help walk me through getting it all ready for my first run. Since, I've been able to wear the Blink and get some interesting data – it seems I'm working a little too hard on the easy and recovery runs, but at the same time, I could probably work a little harder on my hard efforts (I'm not maxing out my efforts). It's great to have this particular data stored on the app so I can keep looking back and see how I'm making improvements in this part of my training. I'm working my way to a NYC qualifying half marathon time and have just wrapped up a training cycle for speed work, so I'll be getting in to longer training runs where knowing and gauging my HR will be so important! I'd recommend the Blink to anyone, from the serious athlete in training, to the individual who is just beginning a workout lifestyle, to the one who needs to keep a safe eye on their heart rate patterns during physical activity.
I've been using the Blink 3.0 for 2 months or so. The Heartrate monitor itself is great. The charge last a few wears and it seems to be more accurate than other wrist HR's. My biggest gripe is with the band that holds it. It doesn't stand up against a sweaty arm as well as I would like. It slips down and requires re-adjustment often once it's fairly wet. Also I've noticed that it has gained an order despite my hand washing to keep it clean.
I just started training with the Blink 3.0 and am liking it so far. I have only used it a few times but I love that it makes me focus on slowing down for recovery runs. Would definitely recommend!
I absolutely love my Blink 3.0! I just did a 24 hr Ultramarathon, and I actually used my Blink to slow myself down. It was hot, and I needed to pace myself to leave something in the tank for later. The Blink was amazing! I love how easy it is to use, and I love that I can tell at a glance what zone my heart rate is, by the color of the blinking light. The Blink is so much more comfortable than a chest strap. This is the first heart rate monitor that I will actually use!
I love my Blink 3.0! I got it a few months ago & it's been a game changer for helping me train for my 1st marathon this fall (Chicago). I've been focusing on making my easy runs easier, so I can go harder on hard workout days & recover faster. I love that you can wear the Blink 3.0 on your arm instead of your chest because it is much more comfortable! All you need is the strap & your phone to get all the heart rate data you could ever need. I highly recommend the Blink 3.0 as a tool to help you train smarter.
I started using my Blink 3.0 a couple of months ago and I am loving it! As a marathon runner, my easy runs should be kept EASY and the Blink Armband is great for keeping me in check. Just a quick look down to see what zone I am in based off of the blinking colored light and I know whether to push harder or pull back. I would highly recommend this to everyone!
I am so glad I got this easy to use Heart Rate monitor! It has been the perfect addition to my fall marathon training. I enjoy using it the most on my easy recovery runs so I can make sure I'm not pushing myself too hard. I love how it is small and fits perfectly around your arm without it irritating your skin or arm. I sometimes forget it is even on because it is so lightweight and comfortable. You'll love this heart monitor to use for your training purposes too!
I received this heart rate monitor and have never looked back! I love it. It is easy to set up.m and use. When I am wearing it, i forget it is even on. No slipping, no chafing, and not too tight. I am a day fanatic so this little device is wonderful me. I recommend this product to all the runners out there. I always use it on my easy days to make sure I am not pushing it too hard and actually taking it easy so my body can recover.
I first heard of this brand at the California Association for Physical Education, Recreation and Dance conference. They brought in the Blink 3.0 heart rate monitors and set them up so that our "class" could monitor our heart rates while doing activity. I was so enamored by the idea of using these in physical education classes in the future that I immediately decided I needed to try one out myself as well. I have used it while running and while doing Crossfit. I love the fact that you can wear the monitor on your arm. I also love seeing the data after I'm done. The only downfall for me at the moment is the app doesn't work on android yet, and I had some mild problems trying to get the band to connect to any other suggested apps. I was finally able to use my iPad and get it connected through the Heart Zones app and all was well. I can't wait to get a set of these in my class! I've already recommended Blink 3.0 monitors to my fellow physical education teachers and a few other fellow runners as well.
I received the Blink 3.0 to try out and am really like it so far. I have only used it a few times but it is very comfortable. I tend to forget I even have it on. I have never trained using a heart rate monitor while I'm training but it has been very interesting to see how hard or how easy I'm pushing my runs. I probably won't continue to run by heart run, but will continue wearing it for my shorter runs. I do really like being able to see all the data after each run. Definitely would recommend this product.
For as long as I can remember, two of my dearest running friends have been running by heart rate. It wasn't until Heart Zones Inc. reached out for a collaboration that I decided to see what all this positive talk was about. Besides, I was also deep into ultra racing season. Wearing the Heart Zones Inc. Blink 3.0 heart rate monitor has given me a visual on where exactly my 'easy' pace should be. It's allowed me to either push or pull back on various workouts. Aside from the benefits it's given to my running, I thoroughly enjoy that I'm able to wear it on my forearm. It's comfortable, doesn't chafe, and a single charge can last for hours upon hours. Will I continue running by heart rate? More than likely no, but I will continue running with my Blink 3.0 for multiple health reasons. There aren't enough words to describe how great this product truly is. If you are unsure about the Blink 3.0, I highly recommend you purchase and see for yourself.
I received the Blink 3.0 to try out and so far I've really been enjoying it. The band itself is very comfortable. I often forget I'm even wearing it. I love seeing all the data after my runs and to see the different levels my heart rate was at. I plan to continue using the blink for my training and am sure it will provide useful information to see if I'm performing at the levels I need to be to get the most out of my runs.
I got the Blink 3.0 to closely monitor my heart rate while running through my second pregnancy, and I LOVE having the visual zones on my phone. While the old advice for pregnancy was to keep heart rate below 140, I know my limits by feel more than a number these days, but being able to attribute my effort levels to the corresponding heart rate has been so helpful and eye-opening. The strap is comfortable on my arm, and I love the bright color of the strap. I'm thankful to not have to try to strap it around my expanding rib cage! The accuracy is dead on when I've measured it against treadmill readings, and it feels so much safer to have the heart rate data displayed on my phone than trying to grab the sensors and hold on to the treadmill. Would recommend to anyone to better learn about their own patterns and exertion levels!
My watch doesn't have an HRM, and I hate wearing a chest strap! Enter the Blink 3.0! It paired so easily with my watch, and now everytime I'm out running, I can see my HR on my watch face! Great gadget, great price! 5 stars!
The Blink 3.0 has changed the way I train. It makes heart rate monitors and zone training extremely easy. Instead of having to wear a big strap around your torso, restricting movement and potentially the intensity of the workout, this one simply goes on your arm and has the same functionality. I can't stop using it now. Great Product.
I was skeptical at first to use my Blink Armband as I am used to screen on other devices such as the Apple Watch or Fitbit. This was actually to my benefit. The simple color system keeps me in check while working out. Another great thing is the versatility of where to place the arm band. Having different options on the arm allows me to be more comfortable depending on my clothing choice. For beginner exercisers or people looking to focus in on heart rate I would defiantly recommend this product to them. It is accurate, budget friendly, easy to use, and the paid app makes for a great all around product.
I love using my Blink 3.0 heart rate band. My Garmin has a heart rate monitor in it, but I cannot see my pace and my heart rate at the same time during a workout. I love that I can have the band on my arm and my Garmin turned on showing my pace, while seeing my heart rate zone based on the number of blinks. This way, I can monitor my heart rate and pace without having to push a button on my Garmin during a run. It's a must have for me!
This is the first heart rate monitor that I've used. I love how simple it is. There's not a ton of buttons to push or numbers on the screen! You put it on, turn it on, connect it to the app and go. When you're done it's pretty easy to read your results in the app. It's lightweight and comfortable and not nearly as annoying as a chest strap would be. You can' read more about my thoughts on it on my blog http://www.runningonlife.com/2018/01/heartzones-blink-30-review.html but this is a product that I'd feel really good about recommending to others. And it's a lot cheaper than some of the other heart rate monitors out there!
My cardio of choice is running. I can recognize without using a heart rate monitor when I'm in varying zones. But I'm sidelined with injury and I've started to cycle instead. The Blink 3.0 has been a game-changer for me on the bike. Instead of struggling to make sure I'm working hard enough during my workouts, I now have the data to back it up. I know when I'm in the zones I need to be in for maximum cardio benefit which has taken quite a bit of mental anxiety off my workouts! I can't wait to use it on my runs as well.
I appreciate that I don't have to hit a bunch of buttons or tap my screen to check my heart rate. The blinking light allows me to see which zone I'm in with a quick glance. The Blink 3.0 is comfortable, easy to use, and accurate! I use it everyday.
The Heart Zones Blink 3.0 has become an integral part of my training! I have a chest strap that I was normally unwilling to wear because it's uncomfortable and would slide around. No more! The Blink 3.0 is so comfortable and it stays exactly where it's supposed to on my arm! Plus, it really makes it easy to actively see which heart zone I'm in so I know if I can push more or if I need to back off. Using the heart zones to understand my training has been a game changer and I'm in love. Added bonus – it's still comfortable even under a long sleeve top and I could still see the light blinking! That has to be the coolest thing ever.
The Heart Zones Blink 3.0 has been a welcomed addition to my training. Set up was very simple and feedback has been extremely accurate. The Heart Zones app interface is also very user friendly, intuitive, and provides exactly what I'm looking for, both in a real time and historical environment. The Blink has even a value add to my fall marathon training. LOVE this product.
The Blink 3.0 has become a great workout partner for me. It does an awesome job of tracking my heart rate and helping me with my fitness goals. Plus, the app is super user-friendly and easy to keep track of progress and goals. Every time I have gone for a long run using the Blink 3.0 it has been very accurate compared to other fitness trackers I have worn. All the equipment is easy to wear too, I know I used to shy away from HRM like this because they can be bulky and uncomfortable but the Blink is easy to adjust and I honestly barely know it's there. I look forward to tracking my progress and getting better prepared for upcoming races with the Blink 3.0.
My Blink 3.0 has been awesome so far! I'd been wanting a HRM but didn't want to wear a chest strap. I've been wearing my Blink 3.0 on my forearm and not only does it seem to get accurate readings, but it's also super comfortable! The data I get in the free HeartZones app is great, and I found the setup video on the HeartZones site very useful as I got my Blink up and running. I'm looking forward to using it more as I train for upcoming races!
I found the Heart Zones Blink 3.0 to be very easy to use! It did a great job recording important and useful metrics from my workout. I used it on a couple of runs both indoor and outdoor. Unlike some fitness wearables it still accurately recorded my distance when running indoors. That is a huge pet peeve of mine when your running distance is not accurate when on a treadmill verses outside. I am happy to say the Heart Zones Blink 3.0 recorded accurate distances for indoor workouts.
Another favorable aspect about the Blink 3.0 is to visually see time spent in the different heart rate zones. It is very helpful to see on a graph if your warm up was too light or too intense. Also when you think you are pushing the pace you can see what heart rate zone you are truly in and gauge if you need to increase or decrease your effort level.
The wristband material is breathable and easily dries following my workouts. It includes a USB charger and an additional larger strap. I like that the Blink 3.0 feels lightweight to wear. The strap is easily adjustable during mid workout. I really like that there is not an annoying chest strap. The Blink 3.0 is lightweight and I never even think about it being there when working out. A really cool and unique feature is that it flashes the color of your heart rate zone while you are exercising. So amazing to have instant training feedback!
I really enjoy using the Blink 3.0 during my workouts! The arm strap is a way better alternative to a chest strap that doesn't leave chafing. I keep track of my heart rate zones and workouts through a convenient app on my phone. I would recommend this for others who want a heart rate tracker!
I have owned the Blink 3.0 for several months and must say this is my go to HRM device. The Blink and I have logged hundreds of miles on foot and cycling throughout the Virginia countryside. With a push of a button, the Blink quickly syncs with my Fenix3 and provide very accurate data throughout my work/race. The adjustable cloth band is comfortable on wrist and forearm for the duration of my workout. After my workouts, I just rinse the Blink off and place it on the charger, so it's ready to go when I am.
I LOVE my Blink 3.0! I really like that it isn't an uncomfortable chest strap. You wear it on your arm and it's so lightweight and comfortable that you don't even realize you are wearing it. I love being able to see the flashing lights that tell me what zone I'm in. That helps me to stay on track during runs or workouts. It comes with it's own free app so you can sync your data right on your phone or device. And it's great that the data is so easily and quickly accessible. It was very easy to set up and it's simple to use. I would highly recommend this heart rate monitor to any athlete!
I'm in love with the Blink 3.0! It is the most comfortable HR monitor I've ever used. It's ease of use and accuracy is unbeatable. I've paired it with several apps, my Samsung Gear smart watch and the LifeFitness equipment at the gym. I love that a quick look at the blinking lights will let me know which zone I'm currently in and can adjust my effort level accordingly. A great product, versatile and invaluable for those who want to HR train!
I LOVE how easy the Blink 3.0 is to use! I don't have to worry about numbers and can easily glance at my wrist to know exact what zone I am in! It was so easy to set up and GO! I don't have to worry about wetting sensors or getting it to stay put under my sports bra! Highly recommend!
LOVE that The Blink 3.0 is not a chest strap. I've worn it on my forearm and upper arm and prefer the upper arm. The strap has never caused my to chafe like the chest straps have. I've paired it with mapmyrun on my phone when I'm on the treadmill and Garmin 220 when I run outside. I can't wait for them to come out with an Andriod version of their app. The blinking colors on the device help you know what range your in, which is helpful.
The Blink 3.0 was a game changer for me! I'm so happy be free of an uncomfortable chest strap. The monitor slips right on my forearm so I can see the colored blinking lights and adjust my workout accordingly to stay in the desired zone for maximum workout benefit. I love that I can use it with a variety of popular apps. The Blink 3.0 has been a constant fixture on my arm all summer when heat takes a toll on my running performance. By watching my heart rate I can back off my pace accordingly. That is priceless. Great product!
Love using my Blink 3.0 on runs and in the gym. I can see the flashing light indicating my zone easily while running. I find the armband very comfortable to wear. I use it on my forearm or my upper arm and both are comfortable and accurate. One of my favorite features is how easily it pairs with my Garmin 630. I would definitely recommend this to other athletes.
The Blink 3.0 is the most comfortable heart rate sensor you will ever wear! Not only does it come with its own app, it also syncs with a variety of other apps and devices. I love the different colored flashing lights (or "blinks") that indicate how hard you are working. I've never had an issue with it losing my heart rate during exercise as I have with other devices. I would definitely recommend this product.
Wait you can receive a accurate heart rate without having to wear a chest strap? Sign me up! Well I received the Blink 3.0 and my runs have never been better. I have the ability to manage my heart rate synced up directly to my Garmin ForeRunner 630. I've been needing this for quite awhile now. Easy to use and holds a charge for several hours. The flashing light colors are easy to read and will target your heart rate zone. Paired with the app the Blink 3.0 becomes deadly!
I enjoy using my Blink Armband because it is easy to use and I do not need to wear a chest strap. Plus, the free Heart Zones Training app allows me to save and track my workout real time. I highly recommend this to my friends and anyone else looking for a trustworthy sensor.


Let's all be honest, the kids name is Ball for a reason. He was built for this.
Exams are approaching which means late night studying, rolling out of bed last minute to throw on a pair of sweats, a tee-shirt (they might be clean if you're lucky), and the closest pair of shoes you can find. Little do we know, not LOOKING good equals not FEELING good. However, there is no scientific information to prove that dressing well helps you test well. But, I do know for a fact, looking good makes you feel alive and on top of the world! So, check out some pieces you can wear that are cool, casual and comfortable to wear to your next exam with the promise of an A!


Jeanne van Heeswijk and artists Brechtje Schoofs, Paul Sixta, Aram Voermans and Marten Winters inquire about the changing landscape perception due to the arrival of the new county road N470. This now connects the Dutch cities of Delft, Zoetermeer and Rotterdam.
During a physical journey along this road the project focuses on the mental aspects. What are a motorist thoughts? Will they change as the route and scenery changes? Will they bring their memories of the old road along to the new one?
In an effort to visualize the changes in the landscape 120 active motorists have been interviewed during this transitional period for two years. This cumulated into a road movie. The road movie will show their mental journeys in the form of individual mini movies. The 120 mini road movies will form a 12 hour movie; a day in the life of a county road.

Q: Can I use the same function delegate in a Parallel.For Loop Is it possible to use the same function delegate in a Parallel.For loop or do I run in a deadlock.
This means I would like to do something like this:
    public Execute(float[] input, Func<float, int, bool> WorkOnIt)
    {
        Parallel.For(0, input.GetLength(0), i =>
        {
            if(WorkOnit(input, i)
               ...
            ...
         });
    }

Thanks a lot!

A: You can use the same function, but be aware, that if you need to use data declared outside the function scope, you will need to ensure thread safety for these data types, e.g. use locking.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/system.threading.tasks.parallel(v=vs.110).aspx
Edit: so of course you can generate a deadlock by using parallel tasks, if you think of smtg like this:
void myfunction(...) {
   lock (locker) {
       doSomethingWithAGlobalList(..);
       waitForOtherTasksDoingThingsWithThatList(..);
   }
}

But this is not a matter of your Parallel.For and would be caused by any concurrent threads entering myfunction

A: That depends on the details of WorkOnIt. Do you use any means of synchronization for externally visible objects that you have to be careful. If not then you are safe.
For example if your WorkOnIt looks like:
private void MyWorkOnIt(float[] input, int idx)
{
    lock(input) { /* ... */ } // possible deadlock scenario
}

This could deadlock if the code that calls Execute locks on the same object:
lock(myInput)
{
    Execute(myInput, MyWorkOnIt);
}

In general I would try to make the delegates of parallel loops completely independent of any shared state. If I can't do - e.g. when I have to aggregate items - then I'll use one of the parallel loops which use a local state.

Thailand's Credit rating Down to Negative
Thailand's slow economic recovery
Thai Exports to grow 4% in 2021
Thai Government imposes ban on gatherings over New Year 2021 holidays
Boris Sullivan
The outlook on Thailand's long-term local currency credit rating was cut to negative from stable by Fitch Ratings, citing the country's worsening political unrest.
The rating for the local-currency debt was affirmed at A-. The country's long-term foreign currency credit rating was kept at BBB with a stable outlook, Fitch said in a statement today.
The change in outlook "reflects an escalation in political uncertainty, coupled with a slow economic recovery and a deteriorating policy environment, all of which are expected to impact adversely on sovereign creditworthiness over time," Vincent Ho, associate director in Fitch's Asia sovereign ratings team, said in the statement.
Clashes this month between Thai anti-government protesters and security forces in Bangkok killed 25 people and injured over 800 others in the deadliest political violence in 18 years. Tourism may be "decimated" by the unrest, and economic growth may be shaved by one or two percentage points, Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij said April 15.

Broadband near-field infrared spectroscopy is fast emerging as a valuable experimental probe of nanomaterials. Light-matter interactions in polaritonic materials at nanometer length scales can be probed effectively with this experimental technique. When there is strong coupling of light to the probe-sample system in highly polar materials such as insulating SrTiO3, the phonon-polariton resonances should be described by detailed numerical simulations. More generally, experimental data needs to be accurately modeled to obtain optical properties at nanometer length scales in non-trivial geometries such as multilayered samples (for example, insulating SrTiO3 crystal with metallic surface), and materials with physical boundaries comparable to the probe apex (for example, nano-platelets of Cu2S). Near-field infrared spectra of materials with anisotropic dielectric function can also be modeled numerically (for example, rutile TiO2). We will present our results on the materials described above, thereby establishing the efficacy of detailed numerical simulations for analyzing experimental spectra.

Accounting for Income Tax Implications of the Tangible Property Regs.
The IRS issued final regulations under Secs. 162 and 263 (T.D. 9636) that provide guidance on amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible property. The final regulations further clarify the capitalization and expensing of amounts paid to acquire, maintain, improve, or replace tangible property, which will affect both taxable income and accounting for income taxes. Differences in tax treatment with respect to an entity's accounting policies versus the final regulations can change the balance of an entity's deferred taxes and potentially the recognition of a liability under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 740-10.
Pursuant to Sec. 162(a), a deduction is allowed for all ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the tax year in carrying on any trade or business. These include costs of repairs and maintenance incurred in carrying on a trade or business. Under Sec. 263(a), amounts paid for permanent improvements or betterments, adaptation, or restorations made to any property must be capitalized. Determining whether to capitalize or deduct is based on the taxpayer's facts and circumstances and is subjective. The final regulations clarify and provide guidance on the criteria for deducting or capitalizing expenditures related to tangible property.
The final regulations, although effective Jan. 1, 2014, can be applied retroactively to tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2012 (Rev. Proc. 2014-16). Any change implemented by taxpayers to comply with the final tangible property regulations may result in a change in method of accounting, thus generally requiring filing Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method, with a Sec. 481(a) adjustment unless the taxpayer qualifies for the small business taxpayer exception found in Rev. Proc. 2015-20. Rev. Proc. 2015-20 allows small business taxpayers to make certain accounting method changes under the tangible property regulations without filing Form 3115 in their first tax year beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014, the effective date of the repair regulations.
Under the revenue procedure, small businesses can also make certain accounting method changes on a cutoff basis, that is, with a Sec. 481(a) adjustment that only takes into account only amounts paid or incurred, and dispositions, in tax years after Jan. 1, 2014. For these purposes, the revenue procedure defines a small business as one with total assets of less than $10 million on the first day of the tax year for which the accounting method change is effective or average annual gross receipts of $10 million or less for the prior three tax years.
Further, various elections must be considered by taxpayers as discussed below and in Rev. Proc. 2014-16.
De minimis expensing safe harbor: This provision allows taxpayers, if certain conditions are met, to expense for book and tax purposes all amounts paid for property below a specified dollar amount for the acquisition of tangible property. The maximum dollar amounts paid for property that can be expensed under the safe harbor are $5,000 and $500 per invoice or per item, respectively, for taxpayers with an applicable financial statement. See Regs. Sec. 1.162-3(c)(1)(iv) for the applicable dollar threshold for materials and supplies.
Materials, supplies, and spare parts: The final regulations define materials and supplies to include property that has an acquisition or production cost of $200 or less. The final regulations also clarify the definition of rotable and temporary spare parts (Regs. Sec. 1.162-3(c)(2)) and provide three ways to account for such items (Regs. Secs. 1.162-3(d), (e), and (f)).
Routine-maintenance safe harbor for buildings: The final regulations expand the safe harbor to building property and allow a taxpayer to apply the routine-maintenance safe harbor to recurring activities to keep the unit of property in its ordinarily efficient operating condition (Regs. Sec. 1.263(a)-3(i)(1)(i)).
Capitalized repair and maintenance costs: This provision allows a taxpayer to elect to capitalize certain repair and maintenance costs if those costs are also capitalized on the taxpayer's books and records (Regs. Sec. 1.263(a)-3(n)).
Small taxpayer safe harbor for eligible building property: This safe harbor provides small taxpayers with an irrevocable annual election to simplify compliance with the "repair" and "improvement" rules for eligible building property (Regs. Sec. 1.263(a)-3(h)).
Repair vs. improvement costs: The final regulations further clarify criteria for betterment versus restoration of tangible property.
The final regulations will require taxpayers to make various elections or make changes in tax accounting methods. Generally, taxpayers required to file Form 3115 to make a method change will be required to make either a catch-up or modified cutoff Sec. 481(a) adjustment. If an amount previously deducted is required to be capitalized, or vice versa, under the final regulations, a Sec. 481(a) adjustment is required unless the taxpayer is a small business taxpayer as defined in Rev. Proc. 2015-20 and qualifies to make the change prospectively.
Under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the effects of new legislation under the final tangible property regulations shall be recognized in an entity's financial statements at the date of enactment (ASC Paragraph 740-10-25-47) and included in tax expense attributable to continuing operations (ASC Paragraph 740-10-45-15). Generally, the tax impact on deferred income taxes is recognized when Form 3115 is filed (ASC Paragraph 740-10-35-4); however, consideration should be given to the timing of recognition in the financial statements, as views on inclusion of accounting method changes can vary. Refer to Rev. Proc. 2014-16 and Rev. Proc. 2015-20 (which contains the small business taxpayer exception) for the principal guidance on when a taxpayer should file Form 3115. A change in tax law may also require the revaluation of a valuation allowance (ASC Paragraph 740-10-35-4).
Current provision: An entity's current taxable income computation may be affected. For example, filing Form 3115 is required under the optional accounting method for rotable and temporary spare parts under Regs. Sec. 1.162-3(e) for taxpayers that do not qualify for the small business taxpayer exception in Rev. Proc. 2015-20. Therefore, computation of the Sec. 481(a) adjustment under this rule will affect the entity's current tax provision.
Effective tax rate: Temporary items will generally have no impact on the effective tax rate. However, in certain instances, filing Form 3115 may indirectly affect the effective tax rate through its impact on other items in the tax return. Changes in permanent book-to-tax differences, as a result of adopting the final tangible property regulations, may affect the effective tax rate. For example, a change in taxable income due to the de minimis safe-harbor election will affect taxable income and consequently affect the computation of a Sec. 199 deduction.Pursuant to ASC Topic 740, the effect of a change in tax law, as discussed in the examples above, on taxes currently payable or refundable for the current year is reflected in the computation of the annual effective tax rate (ASC Paragraph 740-270-25-5). Further, a change in tax law may require the revaluation of an entity's valuation allowance, which will affect the annual effective tax rate.
Uncertain tax positions: Generally, an uncertain tax position (UTP) relates solely to a position taken on a tax return that is not believed to meet the more-likely-than-not standard (ASC Paragraph 740-10-25-6). However, conformity between a tax return and financial statements may be required under certain provisions, such as the de minimis safe-harbor election. Recognition of a UTP would be appropriate if an entity did not correctly conform to the final regulations. A UTP could further arise if, for example, the de minimis safe-harbor election results in a material misstatement of the financial statements. Any unrecognized tax benefit should be analyzed for interest and penalty considerations. Any underpayment interest should be recognized as of the first period in which the interest would begin to accrue (ASC Paragraph 740-10-25-56).
The final tangible property regulations may have a host of implications for an entity's accounting for its income taxes. An entity must carefully consider the impact of the final regulations for purposes of compliance with tax regulations as well as accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740.


In Spain a new VAT reporting system "Suministro Inmediato de Información" (SII) will enter into force on the 1st of July 2017 that will impact approximately 62,000 companies. These companies have to submit electronically to the Spanish tax authorities data from all AP and AR invoices within 4 days after an invoice is either issued or booked. In the first 6 months – as a transitional period – the companies will have 4 extra days (8 days in total) to submit these invoices.
Automated extraction of the invoice data will be essential to meet the new rules in an automated fashion. The required invoice data has to be transformed in the required SII format (XML) and due to the short deadlines for submitting the report it is preferred to do it in the source system where the invoices are captured. For most companies the required data are already available in the SAP system. When e-submission of invoice data is implemented the administrative burden will also be lowered as only certain tax self-assessments has to be filed and certain cumbersome declarations no longer need to be submitted.

According to a new study published in the New York Times, the out-of-pocket cost of caring for an aging parent or spouse averages about $5,500 a year, according to the nation's first in-depth study of such expenses, a sum that is more than double previous estimates and more than the average American household spends annually on health care and entertainment combined.
These findings and others, to be released today, came from a telephone survey of 1,000 adults caring for someone over age 50 who needs help with activities like bathing, using the toilet, preparing meals, shopping or managing finances. It is the first detailed look at out-of-pocket spending among the estimated 34 million Americans providing care for older family members or friends and builds on a 2004 study.
The survey was conducted by the National Alliance for Caregiving, a research and policy organization, and Evercare, a division of the UnitedHealth Group, which coordinates long-term care for 150,000 clients. The report urges government assistance for family caregivers, whether through tax deductions, tax credits or other stipends.

The days when Cloverdale touted itself as "The Orange Belt of Sonoma County" are long gone, but the annual Citrus Fair keeps the memory alive, even if the oranges used in its exhibits are now grown in the San Joaquin Valley.
When Rotary clubs this month unveil a likeness of the Statue of Liberty and a depiction of a lunar landing, and the Lions Club puts together its steam locomotive, the thousands of oranges wired together in the creative displays will be coming from the Visalia and Reedley area.
No matter. Now in its 127th year, the Cloverdale Citrus Fair, running Feb. 15-18, is still going strong, one of the oldest fairs in California and the first to open every year among the state's 72 fairs.
It's a folksy event, a harbinger of spring that seems to attract just about all of Cloverdale's 8,800 inhabitants, who live in what passes for the last remaining small town in Sonoma County.
Besides the citrus displays, people come for the baby derby, talent contest, and queen pageant. There are pygmy goats, rabbits, poultry and dog shows. And like most fairs, there are carnival rides and live music, along with juggling acts and magicians.
"When you drive around Cloverdale in the front yards, everyone has citrus trees," said Renee Rush, whose daughters, Addison Zidek, 10, and Katie Zidek, 8, are in the Harvest 4-H Club and show rabbits at the Citrus Fair.
Besides showing their rabbits, the girls will be making lemon bars and lemon cupcakes for the baking competition. And their 4-H club is putting together a citrus "sculpture" of Rosie the Riveter.
Longtime residents like Vernon Lile, 87, who has missed few Citrus Fairs since he first started attending in 1935, noted there were a lot more major citrus exhibits in the old days.
He recalls 10 or more large-scale displays at each fair, compared to three now.
"The interest isn't there like it used to be," he said.
In the first years of the Citrus Fair, its reason for being was simpler, centered on the "oranges, lemons and olives in the vicinity to make a magnificent display," according to the minutes of the first Citrus Fair Association meeting in 1893.
Back at the turn of the 19th century, orange and lemon orchards thrived in Sonoma County. The thermal belt that makes Cloverdale so warm in the summer was an ideal environment for the fruit. But successive frosts were blamed for ending the commercial enterprises.
The first oranges in Cloverdale were said to be Valencias, brought by Rachel and David Brush and their little daughter Annie, who collected them when they crossed the Isthmus of Panama in the late 1860s.
Seedlings coaxed from the pits of those oranges were credited with being the nucleus of a large citrus belt that was established in Cloverdale by the late 1880s. One of those early specimens, still producing fruit, is believed to be in the front yard of the historic Gould-Shaw House, adjacent to the Cloverdale History Center.
Even famed horticulturalist Luther Burbank came to Cloverdale to tinker with citrus. In one instance, he grafted lemon and orange on grapefruit stock and it endured until the 1980s, when a severe frost damaged it beyond repair, according to the late Cloverdale historian Jack Howell.
The Citrus Fair traces its inception to 1892 with a "Chrysanthemum Fair" at Library Hall that also displayed citrus.
The next year was the first official "Citrus" Fair. One of the founders was Col. J.B. Armstrong, whose name is synonymous with the giant redwood grove he preserved in Guerneville.
Among the exhibitors at the 1893 Citrus Fair was Cloverdale founder James Kleiser and Madame Emily Preston, the charismatic healer who founded a Utopian community north of town.
This was despite the modest setting for the 1895 and 1896 fair — in John Sissingood's Livery and Geysers Stage Stables. The barn was decked out with potted plants and bamboo screens and the hayloft converted to a dance floor for a grand ball that lasted until 4 a.m.
By 1898, the Citrus Fair, now housed in a large wooden pavilion on West and First streets, was promoted as "Better and larger than ever before," with "grand displays of Sonoma County oranges, lemons, olives and wines," and exhibits of deciduous fruits.
Excursion trains brought fairgoers from Mendocino and Lake counties and from as far south as San Francisco. A special train from Petaluma to Cloverdale took two hours and the fare was $1 from Santa Rosa.
Uniformed bands met the trains, and visitors were escorted to the fair in carriages and automobiles.
The early Cloverdale exhibits — displays made of oranges and other fruits and vegetables — were elaborate and sometimes political. In 1910, in addition to a replica of the Yerba Buena ferry with a functioning smokestack, there was a life-size statue of temperance reformer and women's suffragist Frances Willard, displayed by the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
Other years, exhibits included a lighthouse, a giant pipe organ, and a Roman garden complete with pillars and a floating swan. California missions, San Francisco cable cars, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were other motifs at successive fairs, as depicted in photos on file at the Cloverdale History Center and Museum.
To commemorate the opening of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915, there was a golden throne of California, complete with the great seal Eureka.
Cloverdalians were willing to go well beyond town to promote their citrus crops.
When Michael Meehan was asked to display citrus at the 1895 World's Fair in San Francisco, rather than take choice fruits, he balled up a whole orange tree and transported it to The City, where it was part of the Sonoma County exhibit.
"It was said he did it just to show Los Angeles what a beautiful part of the country Cloverdale is and that fruit could be grown equally well in Northern California," according to the book "Cloverdale Then and Now," by the Cloverdale Historical Society.
But by 1920, a series of frosts decimated the citrus industry, which never recovered its status, according to historian Howell. In some instances, vineyards have taken their place.
But even into the 1950s, there were large nearby groves such as in Asti, on the Prati estate, which produced most of the oranges for Citrus Fair exhibits.
Octogenarian Lile remembers a number of long gone orange groves around town, along River Road, McCray Road and on North East Street.
Even though the groves are gone, it doesn't seem to have hurt the popularity of the Citrus Fair, which, depending on the weather, attracts 12,000 to 15,000 people over its four-day run on Presidents Day Weekend, according to Young.
Lile said that as a kid he naturally enjoyed the fair a lot more. Nowadays, he said, he goes to see old-timers who return to Cloverdale, just for the fair.
"I get to see a lot of people I haven't seen for a long time," he said.


An employee referral email template is a document which outlines the framework of an employee referral email. Such a system exists in most companies and corporate houses, where a bona fide employee can refer an acquaintance for another position in the office. Under this scheme, the successful referral of a candidate can win the employee points or money in terms of bonus payments. Thus, an employee referral email is an official email, which must contain information about the employee who is referring and the candidate who is being referred. The template must highlight the structure and composition of the official email.


Rope selection for your sail boat….
Rope selection for running gear on dinghies relies on several things.
tolerance for stretch and weight.
Take the mainsheet of a popular sailing dinghy like a Pacer for instance. In a 20knot wind with centre boom sheeting and a four to one block system, the mainsheet load will be about 55kg. Venetian blind chord (VB) of 3mm diameter would suffice except for the handle factor. The sailor needs to be able to hold the rope for long periods and be able to cleat it in a cam cleat. Experience says that the minimum diameter rope that a sailor can hold for long periods is 7mm. The bigger the diameter the easier it gets but as the diameter goes up so does the weight. For a mainsheet that is adjusted all the time as the spars flex to the wind and waves, the stretch is not so much an issue.
We have discussed already under the handle factor heading the ability to cleat and hold on to a rope. There are two more. There are times that a rope has to travel very fast through a lead, such as in a spinnaker drop, and if a rope has a habit of kinking it can jamb turning what would be a fast mark rounding into a place losing slide. Single braided ropes have less of a propensity to kink and tangle than double braided ropes (ones with an inner core). Ropes are often made with a core to either bulk it out making it lighter or where the outer cover protects the inner core from physical damage.
Polyester – A great compromise for all of the above factors at a reasonable cost and with good long-term resistance to sunlight degradation. It is the standard to measure other ropes against.
Polyethylene – is half the strength and lighter than Polyester. It floats and has a waxy finish which does not score it high on the handle factor. It is typically used as ski rope or anchor line. Its light weight lends itself to being blended with polyester to get a light rope that has good handle factor in applications where stretch is not critical.
Aramid – The most well-known aramid is Kevlar but as a rope material, it has fallen into disuse as it has a habit of fatiguing and failing catastrophically without warning. The more likely fibre in a modern rope is Technora. Technora has very low stretch, very strong, the high melting point can be handled, no creep, and is very expensive.
