Lollapalooza 2011 lineup announced
BrooklynVegan Staff Published: April 26, 2011
Lollapalooza last year (more by Josh Darr)
Lollapalooza celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with some huge names on its just-announced lineup. See it in full below.
The festival has obviously changed over the years. What started out as a farewell tour for Jane's Addiction with a 'touring festival' lineup that included the Rollins Band, Nine Inch Nails, Butthole Surfers, and Souxsie & The Banshees, has turned into a one-weekend Chicago festival that Lady Gaga co-headlined last year. As leaked a while ago, Foo Fighters, Muse and Eminem all play this year, as will Coldplay, Cee Lo Green, and My Morning Jacket along with the reunited Cars and the continuing-to-be-reunited Big Audio Dynamite and Death From Above 1979, and a bunch of other bands which may or may not be worth the ticket price depending on how you feel about the headliners and generally seeing bands in big, hot, outdoor crowded parks (Lollapalooza happens in Chicago's Grant Park from August 5th - 7th).
Full 2011 Lineup and a couple of videos (one from 1991, one from 2010), below...

Lowrie-Scutaro competition renewed in earnest
Aug 8, 2011 at 12:01 AM
MINNEAPOLIS � In his first at-bat back off the disabled list on Monday, Jed Lowrie fouled off a tough two-strike pitch and then yanked a changeup on the outer half into right-center field for a single.
MINNEAPOLIS - In his first at-bat back off the disabled list on
Monday, Jed Lowrie fouled off a tough two-strike pitch and then
yanked a changeup on the outer half into right-center field for a
It was just the type of quality at-bat with which Lowrie took
off in April, when he hit .368 and looked - in the words of Red Sox
manager Terry Francona - like the "best hitter" in a lineup that
also features Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and Adrian
Gonzalez.
But Marco Scutaro can put together a quality at-bat with the
best of them. He followed Lowrie - both were in the lineup because
Kevin Youkilis had the night off and Lowrie played third base - by
roping a fastball right back up the middle for a single of his
Scutaro clearly isn't ready to cede the starting job at
shortstop without a fight.
Not since early May have the Red Sox had both Lowrie and Scutaro
healthy at the same time for any prolonged stretch. Scutaro - who
started on Opening Day but lost playing time to the scorching-hot
Lowrie in April - went on the shelf with an oblique strain in early
May. Lowrie injured his shoulder in a collision in late May and
eventually landed on the disabled list in mid-June.
The return of Lowrie presents Francona with a dilemma about
playing time, but it's a dilemma he doesn't mind having.
"It'd be nice to have him and Scut together," he said. "It'll
give us a lot more production."
In some ways, it looked on Sunday night as though Scutaro gave
himself a nice send-off in a come-from-behind win over the New York
Yankees. He went 4-for-4, and his wall-scraping double off Mariano
Rivera in the bottom of the ninth set the stage for a game-tying
rally. He entered play Monday night hitting .303 with a .365
on-base percentage since the All-Star break.
But even the upside of the power bat of Lowrie - the
switch-hitter slugged .526 down the stretch last season and .574 in
April - doesn't ensure he'll suddenly get the bulk of the playing
Lowrie is the type of hitter who can hit in the No. 6 or 7 spot
in the Red Sox lineup to break up a run of righties. He even hit in
the No. 5 spot on occasion - especially against lefthanded pitching
- during his hot streak earlier this season.
Scutaro, on the other hand, fits best as the No. 8 or 9 hitter
in the lineup, a professional hitter with the ability to get on
base in front of Ellsbury and Pedroia.
Lowrie has a better chance to be more exciting. He has a better
chance to be the Red Sox shortstop on Opening Day next season,
But Scutaro probably is more reliable and steady - both at the
plate and in the field - and that'll give him a chance to fight
tooth and nail to keep his job.
Who will start for the Red Sox in Game One of a potential
first-round playoff series? At this point, there's no way to
For now, at least, Francona will split the playing time
relatively evenly until one or the other forces him to do something
different. The extra benefit to such an arrangement is that it
could keep both players healthy for the stretch run and the
playoffs.
"I know (Scutaro) doesn't like to hear that because he likes to
play every day, but I think it'll be good for him when he's not,"
Francona said. "Now having Jed back, we can kind of split it up
because Jed's not ready to be out there every day. We can look at
day game, night game, matchups, and hopefully get the most out of
both of them."
Scutaro would have helped his cause to keep his job if he'd had
more of a consistent season at the plate. Then again, he hasn't had
the most consistent season on the lineup card, either.
Francona made clear from the outset of spring training that
Scutaro would be his Opening Day shortstop. But, early on, Lowrie
seemed to come up with a pair of hits - often for extra bases
-every time he played.
By late April, Francona had no choice but to play Lowrie just
about every day. Lowrie played third base occasionally, but most of
his playing time came at the expense of Scutaro.
Not coincidentally, Scutaro was hitting just .235 with a .316
on-base percentage when he landed on the disabled list with an
oblique strain in early May.
"I've been kind of battling the whole year with my mechanics and
my timing," he said. "It's been kind of inconsistent."
It might be inconsistent for both players the rest of the way.
If someone shows signs of getting hot, though, Francona is likely
to let that player stay hot.
Lowrie came up in the top of the fifth inning and popped weakly
to shallow left field. Scutaro then followed by going after a
slider away and lacing it into right field for a single. He lined
another single to right field in the seventh inning -- his seventh
straight hit.
That type of juxtaposition will be hard to ignore the rest of
the way. Barring injury, the ability of both players figures to
force Francona to make a tough decision once the playoff start.

Meetings Autobiographical Fragments
by Martin Buber
Used Trade Paperback
1 Hawthorne
Meetings sets forth the life of one of the twentieth-century's greatest spiritual philosophers in his own words. A glittering series of reflections and narratives, it seeks not to describe his life in its full entirety, but rather to convey some of his defining moments of uncertainty, revelation and meaning. Recalling the question on the infinity of space and time which nearly drove Buber to suicide at the age of fourteen, his adolescent 'seduction' by Nietzsche's work, his hero-worship of Ferdinand Lassalle and his love of Bach's music, Meetings has no equal as a portrait of an unique intellect in progress. Like Buber's great works Between Man and Man and The Way of Man, it evokes a tactile, earthly concept of meaning ultimately found, as Maurice Friedman writes in his introduction, 'not in conceptual or systematic thought but in the four-dimensional reality of events and meetings'.

För den mytologiska Cassiopeja, se Kassiopeia.

Cassiopeja (Cassiopeia på latin) är en stjärnbild på norra stjärnhimlen, där stjärnorna bildar något som liknar ett W. Cassiopeja är cirkumpolär sett från Sverige.
Den är en av de 88 moderna stjärnbilderna som erkänns av den Internationella astronomiska unionen.

Historik
Cassiopeja var en av de 48 konstellationerna, som listades av den antike astronomen Ptolemaios i sitt samlingsverk Almagest.

Mytologi
Kassiopeia (lat. Cassiopeia) var i grekisk mytologi maka till Kepheus (lat. Cepheus) och moder till Andromeda. Alla dessa tre har fått ge namn åt stjärnbilder.

Kassiopeia skröt om att hon och hennes dotter Andromeda båda var vackrare än Nereiderna, en grupp havsnymfer. Detta retade Poseidon som fäste Kassiopeia på himlavalvet och lät henne rotera runt polstjärnan så att hon skulle hänga upp och ner halva tiden.

Stjärnor

Cassiopeja är lätt att känna igen på sin tydliga W-form, en asterism som bildas av fem ljusstarka stjärnor. Från vänster till höger: Epsilon, Delta, Gamma, Alfa och Beta Cassiopeiae.
 γ - Gamma Cassiopeiae är en ljusblå underjätte och är för närvarande den ljusstarkaste stjärnan. Den är en eruptiv variabel som är prototypstjärna för Gamma Cassiopeiae-variabler. Dessa varierar oregelbundet i ljusstyrka. Gamma Cassiopeiae varierar mellan magnitud 2,20 och 3,40 och befinner sig för närvarande i sin ljusaste fas. På kinesiska heter stjärnan Tsih, vilket betyder "piskan". Den har också fått smeknamnet Navi, av den amerikanske astronauten Virgil Ivan Grissom. Navi är Ivan baklänges. Stjärnan användes som referenspunkt vid astronauternas navigation.
 α - Schedar (Alfa Cassiopeiae, Shedir) är en orange jätte av magnitud 2,24. Den misstänks variera något i ljusstyrka.
 β - Caph (Beta Cassiopeiae) är en gulvit jätte och en Delta Scuti-variabel. Bland dessa är den näst ljusstarkast, efter Altair i Örnens stjärnbild. Dess genomsnittliga magnitud är 2,28. Caph är ett arabiskt namn och stjärnan har fler arabiska namn: al-Sanam al-Nakah och al-Kaff al-Khadib.
 δ - Ruchbah (Delta Cassiopeiae) är en förmörkelsevariabel, en sorts dubbelstjärna, och varierar i ljusstyrka 2,68 – 2,74. Huvudstjärnan är en vit jätte. Delta Cassiopeiae kallas också Ksora.
 ε - Segin (Epsilon Cassiopeiae) blåvit jätte av magnitud 3,35.
Mindre ljusstarka stjärnor är:
 η - Achird (Eta Cassiopeiae) är en dubbelstjärna som endast ligger 19,4 ljusår bort. Huvudstjärnan är en vit stjärna och RS Canum Venaticorum-variabel och är av magnitud 3,46.
 ζ - Zeta Cassiopeiae är en blåvit underjätte av magnitud 3,69.
 ρ - Rho Cassiopeiae är en gul hyperjätte, en av endast sju kända stjärnor i Vintergatan av den typen. Den tillhör också en av de mest luminösa stjärnorna och är synlig för blotta ögat trots att avståndet är cirka 11650 ljusår. Den har absolut magnitud -7,5 och är därmed en halv miljon gånger ljusare än solen. Den skenbara magnituden varierar mellan 4,1 och 6,2 men är oftast 4,5.

Djuprymdsobjekt

Det finns en hel del intressanta objekt i Cassiopeja. Här är några exempel.

Stjärnhopar
 Messier 52 (NGC 7654) är en öppen stjärnhop av magnitud 6,9.
 Messier 103 (NGC 581) är en öppen stjärnhop av magnitud 7,4.
 NGC 457 (Caldwell 13, Ugglehopen eller ET-hopen) är en öppen stjärnhop av magnitud 6,4.
 NGC 559 (Caldwell 8) är en öppen stjärnhop av magnitud 9,5.
 NGC 654 är en öppen stjärnhop av magnitud 6,5.
 NGC 663 (Caldwell 10) är en öppen stjärnhop av magnitud 7,1.
 NGC 7789 är en öppen stjärnhop av magnitud 6,7.

Galaxer
 NGC 147 (Caldwell 17) är en sfärisk dvärggalax av magnitud 9,5. Den är satellitgalax till Andromedagalaxen.
 NGC 185 (Caldwell 18) är också en sfärisk dvärggalax och en satellit till Andromedagalaxen. Magnitud 9,2.
 NGC 278 är en spiralgalax av magnitud 10,8.

Nebulosor
 NGC 281 är en H II-region som fått smeknamnet Pacman-nebulosan, för att den liknar figuren i datorspelet. Magnitud 7.
 NGC 7635 (Caldwell 11) är en emissionsnebulosa och H II-region.
 IC 1805 (Hjärtnebulosan) är en emissionsnebulosa av magnitud 6,5.
 IC 1848 (Själnebulosan) är en annan emissionsnebulosa av magnitud 6,5.

Supernovor
 SN 1572 (B Cassiopeiae, Tycho Brahes supernova) var en supernova som var synlig för blotta ögat. Utbrottet skedde tidigt i november 1572 och upptäcktes oberoende av många personer. Detta är en av de viktigaste händelserna i astronomins historia eftersom samtida astronomer insåg att stjärnhimlen inte var helt statisk. Tycho Brahe var långt ifrån den förste att observera utbrottet, men gjorde noggranna observationer och beskrev händelsen i sitt verk De Nova Stella (Den nya stjärnan).
 Cassiopeia A är näst efter solen den starkaste astronomiska radiokällan på jordens himmel. Det är en rest efter ett supernova som beräknas ha skett omkring 1667 men utbrottet observerades såvitt känt inte från jorden. Den är också den första radiokällan utanför solsystemet som upptäcktes 1947.

Landskapsstjärnbild
Cassiopeja är också det svenska landskapet Skånes landskapsstjärnbild.

The downside of mega-fame a focus in excellent Bee Gees doco
December 11, 2020 Jim Schembri
Too much heaven: Maurice, Barry and Robin Gibb in 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart'.
THE BEE GEES: HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART **** (107 minutes) M
From journeyman Hollywood director/producer Frank Marshall comes an outstanding, engrossing slow scan across the musical and cultural phenomena of the Bee Gees, three brothers – Barry, Robin and Maurice – whose songs shaped music culture and whose fame redefined celebrity.
Though Barry is the only one still living, archival interviews allow all three to reflect on their early life in Brisbane, their hard-earned rise in the UK and eventual world chart domination, which took their success to such a saturation point even they thought it was crazy.
Crazy and dangerous. As swiftly-paced as much of the film necessarily is, Marshall takes time to register how the Bee Gees became global stars so fast and to such an astronomical degree they did not know how to handle it.
They were the first to ride the crest of mega-fame so common today, and were thus the first to taste the bitter tsunami of backlash as people began reacting against the Bee Gees, purely for the sake of it – again, a trait all-too-common today. The footage illustrating this part of their careers has some eye-opening images.
It is, of course, impossible to shoehorn everything in, and there are segments that inevitably feel like mere catalogues of events in their astonishing careers. For instance, the story of brother Andy Gibb, while covered in some detail, could easily make a feature documentary on its own.
Illustrated with loads of archival footage, both public and private, and embellished with interviews from admiring artists (Noel Gallagher; Chris Martin; Eric Clapton, etc), Marshall has delivered one of the best documentaries yet about music, fame and the jagged life that can accompany it.
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is easily the equal of such compelling portraits as Amy and Whitney, and should not only play to fans, but to anybody who has found themselves unconsciously singing and swaying along to one of their songs as it pipes out over the supermarket PA.

Uri Katzenstein (hebräisch אורי קצנשטיי. geboren am 17. Februar 1951 in Tel Aviv, Israel, gestorben am 24. August 2018) war ein israelischer bildender Künstler, Bildhauer, Musiker, Erbauer von Musikinstrumenten und Klangmaschinen sowie Filmemacher.

Leben
Uri wurde 1951 in Tel Aviv, Israel, geboren und war das einzige Kind deutschstämmiger Eltern, die vor dem Holocaust nach Israel zogen. In seiner Jugend spielte er Musik und trat mehreren Rockbands bei. 1969 trat er den israelischen Verteidigungsstreitkräften bei und kämpfte im Jom-Kippur-Krieg als Sanitäter. In den späten 70er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts studierte Uri am San Francisco Art Institute und zog nach Erhalt seines MFA nach New York City, wo er in den 80er Jahren lebte und arbeitete. Seine frühen Arbeiten, beginnend in den späten 1970er Jahren, umfassten verschiedene Avantgarde-Medien Ausstellungen, Musik, Performance, Video- und Klangkunst. Mitte der 90er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts begann er, neben Objekten und Klangmaschinen auch skulpturale Figurinen zu schaffen, die alle zu einem zeitbasierten Seh-/Hörereignis verschmolzen und komponiert wurden.

Karriere
Nach seiner Rückkehr nach Israel produzierte er mit Noam HaLevi die Show "Midas". Im Jahr 1993 wirkte er in der Rockoper "Samara" von Hillel Mittelpunkt und der Band Nikmat HaTraktor mit. 1999 veröffentlichte er zusammen mit Ohad Fishof ein Musikalbum mit dem Titel "Skin O Daayba", das als Grundlage für eine musikalische Performance diente. Im Jahr 2001 produzierte er zusammen mit Renana Raz und Ohad Fishof die Show "Home". In den frühen 2000er Jahren begann er, Videokunst zu schaffen, die aus surrealen Ereignissen besteht, während er die Thematik der persönlichen Identität betont. Zu seinen bemerkenswerten Arbeiten gehören Patʹshegen (1993) und "Family of Brothers" (Mishpachat ha-Achim; 2000). Seine frühen Performance-Arbeiten wurden regelmäßig an so legendären Performance-Orten wie The Kitchen, No-Se-No, 8BC und Danceteria präsentiert. Seine Arbeiten in den Bereichen Skulptur, Video und Installation wurden in Museen wie dem Russischen Staatsmuseum (St. Petersburg), dem Chelsea Art Museum (New York City), der Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, dem Israel Museum und dem Duke University Museum of Art (North Carolina) ausgestellt. Katzenstein nahm an der Biennale von São Paulo (1991), der Venedig Biennale (2001), der Buenos Aires Biennale (erster Preis, 2002) und der 9. Istanbul Biennale (2005) teil. Seine Performance-Arbeiten wurden in Theatern und Galerien in London, Berlin, San Francisco, Cardiff (Wales), Santiago de Compostela (Spanien), New York City und Tel Aviv gezeigt.

Von 2003 bis zu seinem Tod lehrte Uri Katzenstein in der Abteilung für Bildende Kunst der Fakultät für Geisteswissenschaften an der Universität Haifa.

Im September 2018, nach seinem Tod, wurde im Jüdischen Historischen Museum in Amsterdam eine Ausstellung mit dem Titel "The Institute of Ongoing Things" eröffnet, an der er gearbeitet hatte. Im Januar 2019 wurde eine weitere Kunstausstellung, an der er gearbeitet hatte, mit dem Titel "You Never Know" im ZAZ10TS am Times Square in New York City eröffnet.

NHL Draft Undrafted
Darren Pang (born Darren Robert Pang on February 17, 1964) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender and currently a hockey media personality.
He played his professional career with the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1984-85 and 1987-89.
2.1 Regular season
3 Broadcast Career
Darren grew up playing hockey in Nepean, Ontario for the Nepean Raiders. As a youth, he played alongside many future NHLers, including Doug Smith, Dan Quinn and Steve Yzerman. He played in many prestigious minor hockey tournaments as a youth goalie.
He played for the West Ottawa Golden Knights alongside former NHLer Dan Quinn in the Quebec Pee Wee Tournament, and for the Nepean Raiders Major Midget team that represented Ottawa in the Air Canada Cup as a 15 year old.
Darren was the first goalie drafted by the expansion Belleville Bulls, winning their first ever game in the OHL. He was traded to the Ottawa 67's, where he won the Memorial Cup in 1984, while garnering the Top goalie and All-Star team awards.
Standing at 5'5", Darren was the 2nd shortest goalie behind only Roy "Shrimp" Worters to play in the NHL and was often humorously considered to have a "sixth hole" above his head.
He was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team in 1988 and was a finalist for the Calder Trophy as the NHL's Rookie of the year, won by Hall of Famer Joe Nieuwendyk. His first win was recorded on October 18, 1987 against the Winnipeg Jets.
On August 15, 1984, Darren was signed as a free agent by the Chicago Blackhawks on August 15, 1984. He also set a Blackhawks goaltender's record with six assists in the 1987-88 NHL season and had 9 points in his brief NHL career.
On September 21, 1990, Darren suffered from a career-ending knee injury during training camp. During his playing career, he was known to vomit before each game as Glenn Hall had.

Members of the media film four of the original surviving Magna Carta manuscripts that were brought together by the British Library for the first time, during a media preview in London, Monday, Feb. 2, 2015. The event marked the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, which established the timeless principle that no individual, even a monarch, is above the law. The original Magna Carta manuscripts were written and sealed in late June and early July 1215, and sent individually throughout the country. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant, used with permission from the Associated Press)
The Magna Carta, or Great Charter, is a series of concessions that English noblemen extracted from King John I at Runnymede, England, in 1215, and that some later monarchs reissued. The document's preamble and 63 clauses remain an important foundation for the rights claimed by English citizens, including those who immigrated to the United States.
Magna Carta established fundamental government principles
Although Britain continues to operate according to the principle of parliamentary sovereignty and has never adopted a single written document, such as one resembling the U.S. Constitution, British citizens still look to the Magna Carta, as well as the later Petition of Right (1628) and English Bill of Rights (1689), as establishing fundamental principles that the government dare not violate. John Locke and William Blackstone were among the English legal theorists who expanded the principles of liberty in the Magna Carta.
"No taxation without representation" is most significant Magna Carta principle
In America's colonial days, the most significant principle of the Magna Carta was that the king had no power to tax persons who were not represented in the government. Colonists cited this principle of "no taxation without representation" in the Declaration of Independence and in other documents that asserted colonial privileges. Before the Revolutionary War, the colonists viewed the charters issued to them by the king in the same way that they viewed the Magna Carta—as providing protections for their rights. Many of these protections were later incorporated into state constitutions before being expanded and incorporated into the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights.
Magna Carta is foundation for due process clause of Constitution
Clause 29 of the Magna Carta prevented the English government from jailing or punishing an individual "except by the lawful judgment of his peers and by the law of the land." This clause is generally understood to provide the foundation of the due process clause of the U.S. Constitution's Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
First Amendment foreshadowed by Magna Carta
The idea that nobles could meet with the king and present him with a set of grievances arguably foreshadowed both the peaceable assembly and petition provisions of the First Amendment. The provision of the Magna Carta that appears closest to the First Amendment is in Clause 1: "The English Church shall be free, and shall have her rights entire, and her liberties inviolate." This text hardly prevents the establishment of a national church (Britain continues to recognize the Episcopal Church as the established church), as does the First Amendment, but it does acknowledge a sphere in which religious claims should be free of state supervision and control. Moreover, claims once associated specifically with the nobility have been widened both within Britain and the United States to include all citizens.
In 2015, the British Library featured a display of the Magna Carta, the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Bill of Rights to mark the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.

Q: Not able to play videos from assets folder using VideoView I am not able to play videos from assets folder using MediaController in VideoView.
I looked into many stack overflow answers but none of them work.
It works perfectly when I use Raw folder or SD Card folder path.
Below is my code :
    private void getVideoFromAssets() {

    try {
        // Start the MediaController
        MediaController mediacontroller = new MediaController(
                VideoViewActivity.this);
        mediacontroller.setAnchorView(videoview);
        // Get the URL from String VideoURL
        Uri video = Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/test.mp4");
        videoview.setMediaController(mediacontroller);
        videoview.setVideoURI(video);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();

    }

    videoview.requestFocus();
    videoview.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
        // Close the progress bar and play the video
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {

            videoview.start();

        }
    });

}

This same code works for raw and sd card folder while changing the respective path.But it does not work with assets.
Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.

A: Try:
   AssetFileDescriptor afd = getAssets().openFd(fileName);
   player.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(),afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength());

A: "file:///android_asset/..."  works only for a WebView, you need to pass a Uri like this "content://your.authority/path.to.resource" that is you need to create custom ContentProvider and override its openAssetFile

This trek distills the very essence of Ladakh and in a short span of time, provides intensive experience of the land, its people and culture. Linking two of the oldest monasteries in Ladakh at its either end, the trail passes through dramatic desert mountainscape with vivid verdant villages tucked away into the hillsides. Highlights include the gompas at Lamayuru, Wanla, Sumdochoon and Alchi and ancient wood carvings at Sumdah Chenmo, all made in the 11th century by Rigzing Zangpo.
Drive five hours on the Leh/Srinagar Highway as far as Lamayuru, a splash of green against the stark desert with its charming village and a centuries old gompa. The afternoon is spent exploring the village and gompa. Lamayuru Gompa lies 15 km east of the Fatu La, with its medieval village seemingly growing out of the rocky hillside below it.
Camp is set on a forested river bank below the village.
The trek starts after breakfast, passing through crumbling gorges. The path gradually ascends southwards, to the Prinkiti la (12,221 ft/3,726 m), reached in about an hour. Descend along a dry narrow gorge to the valley of Shillakong, through apricot orchards and beautiful willow groves, via the village of Shilla and on to Wanla village, dominated by its red-hued gompa.
The trail follows the Yapola before turning off into the Ripchar Valley which is dotted with tiny green villages at short intervals. It then arrives at Hinju, a large village with a typical cluster of mud houses built onto the hillside and bright green fields stretching out into the barren land. Camp is set by the stream, just below the village.
Rest day. Explore the village and its surroundings.
After following the Ripchar Nallah for about an hour and a half, the trail ascends steeply up to the Konke La (16,236 ft/4,996 m) where the fierce winds on top of the pass are more than compensated for by the spectacular views all round. Descend into the pastures where the local people bring their horses, cows, dzos and yaks to graze. This is blue sheep and ibex country and if lucky, one might even spot the occasional red Himalayan fox. Camp in a meadow by the stream.
Continuing along the Sumdah Tokpo, the trail reaches Sumdah Chenmo, a beautiful village with some very interesting 11th century wood carvings embedded in the ground and exposed to the elements. According to local belief, great disaster will strike the community if the carvings are moved in any way. The monolithic structures are carved in a more basis folk style. Get back on the trail and, having waded across the stream, climb up to Lanka, a grassland dotted with quaint little shepherd shelters built with piled up stones.
After descending to the Sumdah Tokpo, the route turns east along the stream to Hasgo, along a very green valley and then north to Sumdah Choon, where camp is set for the night.
Day 10 : At Sumdah Choon.
Rest day. Explore the very old and interesting monastery which houses some unusual bronze figures crafted in a style different from that prevalent in most Ladakhi and Tibetan monasteries. The figures have predominantly Indian features, rather than the mongoloid ones seen elsewhere in Ladakh. The monastery is small and has maintained the old monastic traditions undisturbed.
The trail ascends steeply to the Stakspi La (16,990 ft/5,180 m) where again there are wonderful views of the valleys on either side. A steep descent gets you to the campsite at Pulu.
A short descent to the end of the trail brings us to Alchi Gompa, located near the small village of Saspol. It is one of the earliest monasteries built in Ladakh, dating from the 11th century. Because it was built before the invading wars began in the 15th century, Alchi was built on lowlands, rather than on a hilltop as others were, in order to protect them from marauding armies. Camp at Alchi.
Vehicles await here for the return drive to Leh.

Emily Bayless Project #43-Pollo en Escabeche de Cebollas Caramelizadas, Zanahorias y Jalapeños: — Notorious M.L.E.
Okay everybody, I have been WAITING anxiously to share this recipe with you! I really wish I could magically transport everybody to my house and then use my magic money and imaginary time-producing machine and robotic Emily clones to cook this for each and every one of you because it was that good.
Also it's yet another lesson about open-mindedness. I did not want to make this recipe. I do not like pickled stuff or all-spice, both of which are featured prominently in this recipe. I do however like my friend Dahlia who is currently giving up multiple weekends to the deck project and when she marked this recipe as one to eat, I said "Your wish is my command." Plus, I had to do it anyways because that's the point of a cookbook project, duh. So I cooked it and oh holy mole. <----See what I did there with the mole/moly!
This was so good! I honestly don't remember anything about making it except that I caramelized onions. I always remember the onions because I love them and also it is the title of the recipe. And since I am also detailing all sorts of unnecessary stuff I should also tell you that when I cook anything our extractor fan drags the smell out of the kitchen, underneath the house and then spits it out in the backyard where the new deck will be. So while I cook, the smell is actually blown directly into the faces of my deck builders. Strangely this fills them with jealous rage until they figure out that the food they smell is destined for their bellies. This happens every week: I guess deck building affects one's short term memory.
Back to the food though, right? Okay, so there are sweet onions and perfectly tender chicken seared with a spicy crust. Add to that a warmth from the jalapeños, tang from the pickling juice, sweetness from the carrots and so-fresh-and-so-clean cilantro and you will begin to understand this dish's greatness.
In addition to the combination of flavors the secret is how the chicken is cooked. First you sear it and then you put a lid on the pot and it steams. That way you get the crispy and the tender. Genius, yes? I served this to seven people including my Mom and Grandma and we actually ate it so fast that I didn't realize till we were almost done that I hadn't shot a picture for the blog.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I screamed, not at all melodramatically. I was about to start banging my head on the kitchen table when Dahlia level-headedly pointed out there was still one serving left. "It won't wooooooork Dahl, this dish is weird looking, there is NO WAY to make it look appetizing." At which point Dahl kind of gave up on the pep-talk and instead got to work plating the dish.
She did a good job plating because as I was shooting the picture I was suddenly seized with the idea that I needed to eat more and just as I was thinking that, Emily(not me the other one) said "I think I'm going to eat some more." To which I replied "Of course you do, all smart Emily's would."

Why you need a contract of employment
Many small businesses employ workers on a verbal agreement. But what happens if a dispute arises over the terms and conditions of someone's employment – and there is nothing in writing?
Businesses without a written contract can run into problems when there is a dispute. If you don't have a written contract, arguments can erupt when employees query their remuneration or working arrangements.
DO I NEED A WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT?
An employment contract is an agreement between you and your employee. It can be written or verbal.
A contract outlines the working relationship between an employer and an employee. It allows both parties to clearly understand their obligations and the terms of employment.
A clearly written contract can help understand your employee's rights to certain pay and conditions and manage your employee's expectations of their new role.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT TYPE OF EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT?
Each type of employment contract has different benefits and consequences.
The contract needs to be tailored so that it carefully reflects the agreement between you and your employee.
Common types of employment contracts include permanent employment contracts, fixed-term contracts, and casual employment contracts.
HOW IS MY BUSINESS AT RISK IF I DON'T HAVE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS?
Dean Tyler, senior associate at Australian Business Lawyers & Advisors (ABLA), says if a dispute arises between your business and an employee and you don't have a written contract of employment, it is very difficult to prove what the agreed terms and conditions of employment are.
"It will be a matter of your word against theirs which gets very tricky in a courtroom," he said.
"A written employment contract will help to ensure that the rights and obligations agreed to by each party are clearly understood from the start of the employment relationship. That way, these rights and obligations can be enforced by both parties."
But Mr Tyler warned that a contract must be drafted carefully.
For example, if an employee leaves your business taking clients and other staff with them to a competitor, you would want a well-drafted restraint clause that prohibits them from doing so.
In the absence of such a clause, the business will have no way to stop them from doing so which could significantly impact your business.
Mr Tyler said while each contract of employment should be drafted carefully and tailored to the role being performed, each contract of employment should deal with matters such as:
a) what notice each party is required to give upon termination
b) excluding company policies and procedures from the contract
c) expressly stating that any above award rate or salary compensates the employee for all legal entitlements, such as overtime, penalty rates etc, and
d) detailing what kind of workplace surveillance your business will undertake, among many other matters.
"If you are unsure about what the contract of employment for your business requires, you should seek specialist legal advice," Mr Tyler said.
Do you need an employment contract? Use My Business Workplace to create an employment contract that's tailored to your business needs and complies with workplace laws. It also includes easy-to-understand information on the legal minimums you need to include.

Popular name of the colorful red-spotted beetle of the family Coccinellidae of the order Coleoptera. It is the subject of many folklore superstitions. It brings children, warns of danger, forecasts length of life by the number of its spots, or warns of death. In British and European folklore, the ladybird was captured by a young woman and bidden to fly "north, south, or east, or west" in the direction in which her lover lived. Whichever way the insect flew, there dwelled her future husband. A well-known children's rhyme is: "Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home, your house is on fire, and your children all roam."

The Manhattan Project was a code name for a plan to develop the world's first atomic bomb. The project was led by the U.S with support from Canada as well as the U.K. The operation took place from the years 1942-1946 under the supervision of General Leslie Groves, a U.S Army lieutenant. The mechanics of actually developing the bomb was left to Robert Oppenheimer.
The origins of the Manhattan Project started in 1939 when American intelligence became aware of the dangers of nuclear weapons in the hands of the Nazis. Such a weapon could pose a huge threat to the U.S and would leave them at Hitler's mercy if he won the war. He would doubtless have turned his attention Westwards if Europe was under his subjugation, as well as East towards the Russians.
The Manhattan Project is not in any way a conspiracy theory. It is officially documented and the documents are available online. In response to the threat of nuclear weapons, the U.S had to commission their own project. Such has always been the policy of the United States, to have the largest guns which act as a deterrent, and it is a policy which has traditionally been very successful.
The Manhattan Project is the biggest true conspiracy theory to date. It was reported after it's imitation but can only be deemed officially "true" after the declassification and publication of official reports. It would employ more than 130,000 people and spawn many industrial and research industries and spin off industries. Entire towns were constructed in secret government supervision. The research took place in Canada, the U.K and the U.S.A. The primary research sites for the project were the Hanford Site, the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It is the sheer scope of the project that leads most to deny the existence of the Manhattan Project, not just the unlikelihood of the plot itself. The idea that a project this big has been kept a secret largely discredits the idea.
"One of these, Oak Ridge, situated where only oak and pine trees had dotted small farms before, is now the 5th largest city in Tennessee. Its population of 70,000 has 13 supermarkets, 9 drug stores, and 7 theatres.
A second town of 7,000 was built for reasons and security on a New Mexico mesa. The third, named Rockland Village, houses 17,000 men, women, and children on the remote banks of the Columbia River in the State of Washington.
There are numerous reports of leaks, 1500 in total according to official government papers. One of these leaks includes a naval lieutenant, who observed the top secret project and simply speculated to many individuals that it must be for the creation of an atomic bomb. He was interviewed by journalists and outlined his thoughts. An employee for an engineering firm in New York was engaged in contracting work for the government. After losing top secret papers with regard to the project he ended up losing his job. Other cases of such leaks include sermons given by ministers and information pamphlets, all which outlines the dangers of Uranium 235 and the capacities of the resulting nuclear weapons.
For every one true conspiracy, there are numerous fake theories or offshoots. Some theorists contend that there is a different Manhattan Project, relating to an underground bunker in Central Park, New York (aka central park conspiracy theory). Central Park was paid for by the federal government to house the first underground governmental facility. This facility was used to house a number of famous people over the years. Czar Nicolas II has held to have lived and died in the underground facility. After the Bolshevik revolution of 1917, the Czar asked President Wilson for assistance. The Czar and his family were the first to live in this underground facility. U.S Marines flew in and rescued the Czar and his family, who dressed as Jewish immigrants and lived a happy life in the U.S until their death.
Adolf Hitler is also claimed to have lived there after his escape from the U.S. Before the end of the war Hitler contacted President Roosevelt. He would give Roosevelt the atomic bomb the Nazis had been developing and all scientific research and the hiding places of all his top scientists, if he gained political asylum in the U.S. He lived in the Manhattan Project until his peaceful death in 1956. The body found is the bunker by the Soviets in Berlin was that of his double, Gustav Weler.
It is also claimed that aliens found in Roswell, New Mexico, were nursed back to health and lived in the Manhattan Project. They lived happily in their home under Central Park until their death in 1968 and 1969. In return for the assistance, they gave many technologies to the United States, including Teflon, stealth plane technology and radar. Why they had this technology but did not have the capability to travel back to where they came is not clear. Evidence of these theories is allegedly available on the FBI website. Other claims in relation to the Manhattan Project are that it has up to 60 miles of underground roads, contains an underground lake and it is where all the gold of the United States is kept. It is also expanding and growing every since it's creation in the 1860's. It is now apparently a city underneath a city.
There is no doubt that there was an official, documented project to develop an atomic bomb by the U.S, and its existence was kept a secret, but without much success. This is simple, reasonable, natural and logical. There was a threat, the U.S needed to create a deterrent, and it had to be kept a secret, for a good reason. It would be naive to imagine otherwise. The atomic bomb was used in Hiroshima, in response to an attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. The side conspiracies of a Manhattan Project in Manhattan with an underground bunker is absurd. Why would Marines fly to Russia to protect the Czar? And why would Hitler ask Roosevelt for asylum if he got free of Berlin in the first place, instead of simply moving to Brazil or somewhere remote? There is no basis for these theories, and they can be lumped in the same category of alien reptiles and UFOs.
This documentary is about Robert Oppenheimer and his life before and after the Hiroshima bombings.


At the , Acura rolled out its fantastical concept car, previewing its future exterior design themes in an extreme form. The concept had an interior, but it was just as crazy as the exterior. At the , Acura is showing something more production-ready (and, frankly, more relevant): the Acura Precision Concept, a vastly toned-down version of the concept car's design with Acura's new touchpad-based interface.
The seat buck includes some hardware lifted from the sports car, including the steering wheel, the drive-mode selector knob, and the same insanely comfortable seats. The dual-layer dashboard design was previewed by the concept car but is rendered this time in more producible proportions and covered in black stitched leather. In front of the driver is a 12.3-inch screen that contains primary gauges and other driver-oriented content; on top of the dashboard is another 12.3-inch dual-zone wide infotainment screen.
The big news here is Acura's new interface for the latter display, which is controlled by a slightly concave tray of switchgear nestled into a soft open-pore wood tray with a padded leather wrist rest beneath the center stack. The largest portion of the tray, measuring about three inches by two inches, is a slightly sunken touchpad that uses "absolute positioning" to align actions on the touchpad with those in the larger (left side) section of the screen. Touching it lightly with one finger navigates the screen, while pressing it makes a selection or an adjustment. To the right of the touchpad is smaller sunken section that controls the right side of the screen, on which a different app—say, for weather, notifications, or audio—can be viewed. Three hard buttons across the top include a "back" function, a home menu, and a button to switch between apps on the larger versus smaller sections of the screen. Sadly, no audio volume knob is in sight. Yet.
We spent a fair amount of time poking around the system with the folks who designed it and found that it works fairly intuitively, certainly more effectively than Lexus's clumsy Remote Touch interface. Other trick features of the Precision Cockpit include graphics and colors that change according to the chosen drive mode—white for Snow, blue for Comfort, Red for Sport, and Orange for Sport Plus. The display ahead of the driver uses what Acura calls a 3D engine to support a dynamic layout that shows other cars, objects, pedestrians, cyclists, and more. When autonomous driving becomes a thing in Acuras, it will be able to recognize other vehicles being driven in autonomous modes via vehicle-to-vehicle communications.
As Acura attempts to rejuvenate its image, we expect the company to take risks like this. At first blush, this ergonomic rethink appears to work pretty well and to set Acura apart from the crowd. We've certainly seen worse systems come out in recent years, and we look forward to seeing this one installed in a real car. When might that be? That's anyone's guess; all Acura said is that it will– appear sometime in the next few years.

How we can protect our farmers and promote free trade
There is a raging debate in the UK about whether and how UK farmers should be protected from foreign competition in the execution of its trade policy. It threatens to divide the Conservative Party between their classical free traders and those whose constituencies include farmers and larger landowners.
Yet there is a solution here where the UK can both protect farmers and execute a trade policy which allows them to be competitive on global markets. To do so means asking what it is we should be protecting them from – and we should, in answering that question, come up with a set of holistic solutions.
The Department for International Trade's newly formed Trade and Agriculture Commission, on which I sit, is an excellent opportunity for constructive engagement to solve these issues and find common ground among stakeholders.
What should farmers be protected from?
The first question to ask is whether British farmers are trading on a level playing field now. The answer is that they are not. There are enormous subsidies and distortions in the EU-27, especially in major agricultural exporters into the UK such as France. Indeed, while British beef and lamb farmers do not receive any production subsidies (absent two very small programmes for crofters in Scotland amounting to £39m), French farmers benefit from €1bn of voluntary coupled support (a production subsidy). This disparity affects British farmers, not only as they produce for the home market, but also as they export in the EU and all over the world. We do need to come up with mechanisms which allow farmers to gain a measure of protection from these practices.

So awhile back I did a video of all the products I received at a recent Natural hair gathering. So what you don't know is that I forgot about some of the products I received. One product in particular Creme of Nature's straight from Eden natural oil infused shampoo and conditioner.
It wasn't until I went a another Creme of Nature event that Rachel O. was hosting at a Sally's that my memory was jogged. It didn't happen immediately. In fact I didn't realize it till the car ride home. Everyone kept asking me had I tried any other cream of nature products. I kept saying a little bit but I'm not using them right now and I've only used the redline with Argan oil. One of the people attending the event in particular said I really like the green line that I got at the natural hair meet up recently. Still didn't remember I had two sets of it in my house, and I told her I hadn't tried that yet. I never heard of it. But I have heard of it and it was in my house.
So once I realize that it was at my house on the car ride home. I decided the next day I would wash my hair with it since I needed a good wash anyway. I also got a really big bag of samples from the cream of nature spokes person that was at the recent event at Sally's.
The sample products I received are the Butter-Licoous Curls, Pure-Licious Co-Wash, and Twirling Custard. I also go a free hair comb, & t-shirt.
So what I want to say right now is after using shampoo and conditioner only wants it really did a good job of removing all the buildup in my hair. my hair seem to have more stretch. Check out some of the pictures below.
After I was done cleansing my hair I decided to take a chance and tried to do a wash N go. Usually when I try to do wash n go's they don't turn out so great, but after I wash my hair with the creme of nature products it worked pretty well. I got a full two days out of the style and I really enjoyed it. I will probably try again sometime down the line.
After going to the Creme of Nature #courageousbeauty event for Brest cancer. I started thinking about my little cousin Brianna Who lost her mother to breast cancer a year ago. I decided to give her some of my products. She's away at college all alone for the first time and she's natural. Her mother told her always keep your hair natural so I want to help out with that.
I'll keep you posted on how the products work on my hair so far.
It's been a while. Working two jobs is no joke. I find myself becoming really emotional and depressed lately. One of the only things that cheers me up other then reading the Bible is day dreaming about going on a family Disney cruise. Yep that's right I'm obsessed with Disney cruise line. It all started when my sister, a journalist was able to bring our family for free on the christening of the Disney Dream. They pulled out all the stops. They had Jennifer Hudson singing. A hour long show of song and dance with every Disney character ever. Caviar and Champagne was passed out. They really pampered us and that was before we got on the ship. I had never been on a cruise but my parents had. We all agreed it was one of the most elegant places we had ever been to.
After that experience I was hooked and determined if Jon and I ever got married I wanted our honeymoon to be on the Dream. I got my wish and Jon loved it as much as I did. When it came time to disembark we didn't want to go. We started asking do y'all need another DJ and singer/dancer? I felt like I was at home on the Dream. It was that comfortable. I wish we had more money so we could go on a seven night cruise.
One of the things I noticed on our first Disney cruise was that my whole family got along better than any vacation we had ever had. There was only one thing missing. The whole family wasn't there. My sister's husband didn't want to go which made the family outing just the original family. I wish he could've come it might have been a bonding. Also my boyfriend at the time Jon couldn't come because we only had one room and my parents wasn't having that. The biggest surprise was my sister announcing she was pregnant with my niece.
Now I'm married and I have a niece and nephew. When I daydream I think of their reactions to all the sights on the ship. When I daydream I think of my brother-in-law loosening up and really enjoying himself, and becoming more of a care free person. I see my parents sitting back and enjoying their family. I see Disney magic working to make the best family vacation ever. Time is not on our side. My parents are getting older and sickly. I worry I won't get my dream of a whole family vacation.
I used to daydream going with my dad's side of the family. I knew my cousin Michael love Disney. I use to research hotel and ship accommodations for wheelchair accessibility. Then one day I got a call that my cousin Michael passed away. I remember the last time I talked to him I wanted to tell him about my huge family Disney cruise adventure plane, but I chickened out. I didn't want him to think I was weird.
I don't want another situation like that to happen with my immediate family. So I keep planing,saving, day dreaming, and trying to convince them that this vacation would not be somethings we will regret. Hopefully one day soon I can convince everyone to come on board. Until then I just like imagining our possible fun to get me through the long hard work days.
