Kings GM Vlade Divac: DeMarcus Cousins is 'most dominant player in the whole world'
By Dan FeldmanJul 28, 2016, 11:46 AM EDT

Vlade Divac isn't calling Rudy Gay with trade-talk updates.
So, how is the Kings general manager spending his time?
Watching DeMarcus Cousins with Team USA.
James Ham of CSN California on Cousins:
He's primed to show the world what both he and plenty of others around the basketball world already believe — that he is the best big man in the world.
"It's a no-brainer," Kings general manager Vlade Divac said from his courtside seat. "He's the most dominant player in the whole world. And being from Serbia, I have to root for Serbia, but I feel bad for them. He's going to kill them."
If we take Divac's statement — "He's the most dominant player in the whole world" — at face value, nope. LeBron James is. Other players like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are also better than Cousins, but big men can dominate in a way perimeter players can't
If Divac meant just among big men, there's a case. When Cousins is fully engaged, it's one I'd definitely buy. He's a load to handle inside, and his defense can be top-notch.
There are just too many times Cousins checks out. It's a fine line, because Cousins' emotions carries him to his highs. But he hasn't yet found an ideal equilibrium point. His lows are still too low and too frequent.
That said, no center nears Cousins' peak dominance. DeAndre Jordan and Draymond Green, when he plays the position, need too much help from teammates to be considered truly dominant. Andre Drummond isn't polished enough. Even with his flaws, Cousins is probably already the NBA's most dominant center.
Most dominant player, though? No. That's a step too far.

I removed the ), and tried to re run but it never updated in the container. I have since deleted the container, created new images and new containers, but every single time I get the same 2 errors... Why is this happening and what is the first error?  Also since Im building new images where the extra parentheses error was not even present, why is it still showing up??

Business leaders will look back on 2017 as a turbulent year, having contended with varying degrees of disruption on global, political and technological fronts. Instead of dwelling on disruptions of the last 12 months, effective leaders must pick themselves up, dust themselves off and determine their visions for leading their businesses towards success in 2018, writes Samantha Caine, Client Services Director at Devon-based human capital consultancy and training firm Business Linked Teams.
For leaders equally as perplexed as their workforces, this may seem easier said than done and it can feel like a struggle to find a strong footing for stable leadership. Yet, in the fast-changing environment that businesses now find themselves in, workforces need strong leaders more than ever. If 2017 taught us anything, it's to expect the unexpected, but with these four points in mind, business leaders can provide the right levels of stability and optimism that will keep the workforce strong, confident and successful.
Leaders balancing countless responsibilities can easily miss simple things that could make big differences when addressed properly. Think of the workforce as your sounding board and don't be afraid to act upon their suggestions or to reward those who put them forward, otherwise the simply listening could easily perceived as an empty gesture.
According to a recent PwC study, 52 percent of millennials say that the opportunity for career progression is the most desirable quality in a workplace, placing it above competitive wages and financial incentives (44 percent). The same study found that 35 percent of millennials prefer to be employed by organisations that offer good training and development programs, while another study by the HRPA reports that 63 percent of millennials feel their leadership skills are not being developed.
If the national newspaper headlines are to be believed, the rise of robots in the workplace has certainly caused a furore, but what do the studies tell us? The aforementioned study by PwC also questioned respondents over the anxieties about technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation threatening their livelihoods and found that 73 percent of the respondents don't believe that technology can ever replace the human mind.
Strong leadership requires certain skills and behaviours that those who find themselves in leadership positions don't always have, or don't have the confidence to use. Investing in a leadership training that is tailored to the business and its specific requirements will ensure that those in leadership are truly fit to lead, and that the workforces looking to them for guidance are in the safest possible hands.

Triterpenes are thirty-carbon compounds derived from the universal five-carbon prenyl precursors isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). Normally, triterpenes are synthesized via the mevalonate (MVA) pathway operating in the cytoplasm of eukaryotes where DMAPP is condensed with two IPPs to yield farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), catalyzed by FPP synthase (FPS). Squalene synthase (SQS) condenses two molecules of FPP to generate the symmetrical product squalene, the first committed precursor to sterols and most other triterpenes. In the green algae Botryococcus braunii, two FPP molecules can also be condensed in an asymmetric manner yielding the more highly branched triterpene, botryococcene. Botryococcene is an attractive molecule because of its potential as a biofuel and petrochemical feedstock. Because B. braunii, the only native host for botryococcene biosynthesis, is difficult to grow, there have been efforts to move botryococcene biosynthesis into organisms more amenable to large-scale production. Here, we report the genetic engineering of the model monocot, Brachypodium distachyon, for botryococcene biosynthesis and accumulation. A subcellular targeting strategy was used, directing the enzymes (botryococcene synthase [BS] and FPS) to either the cytosol or the plastid. High titres of botryococcene (>1 mg/g FW in T0 mature plants) were obtained using the cytosolic-targeting strategy. Plastid-targeted BS + FPS lines accumulated botryococcene (albeit in lesser amounts than the cytosolic BS + FPS lines), but they showed a detrimental phenotype dependent on plastid-targeted FPS, and could not proliferate and survive to set seed under phototrophic conditions. These results highlight intriguing differences in isoprenoid metabolism between dicots and monocots.

Get the scoop on 2013' holiday pop-up shops.
They're temporary and they appear at the drop of a hat, ready for business before you even knew they were moving in, yet pop-up Christmas shops are an iconic fixture of the holiday season. The shops that appear in empty storefronts or on street corners are part of the national culture, with handcrafted ornaments and decorations to make your house look less like a Grinch and more like you lived on the North Pole.
But now, pop-up Christmas shops are that and much more. The "pop-up shop" model now applies to technology, gift and clothing stores that are setting up an extra storefront for the busiest shopping time of the year. Once exclusively online stores are taking their products to your neighborhood, attempting to make some extra money and try out the "brick and mortar" business model of setting up an actual storefront.
These pop-up Christmas shops are only around for a period of 2 months or so, and then they're on their way out after a clearance sale encouraging you to stock up on your Christmas collection and gifts for next year. Both independent crafters and major chain stores participate in the trend, bringing quite a selection of holiday stores for your shopping pleasure.
Check out our list of some of the most notable pop-up shops for the 2013 Christmas season.
The annual technology store by Wired magazine contributes the newest gadgets and toys, from a toothbrush sanitizer to a cordless kettle, to your list of unique gift-giving ideas. The online store popped up on Nov. 15 here, and the retail store opens its doors in New York City through Dec. 22.
Located in the Kansas City Garment District, this pop-up boutique features work from local craftsmen, musical artists, authors and more, with the opportunity to support home-grown businesses. The shop is open through Christmas.
The online store for socially conscious consumers just launched its first-ever holiday pop-up store in New York's LaGuardia airport. The store, which calls itself a "lifestyle destination," features clothing, accessories and gifts for both men and women. The store is open through Jan. 4, 2014.
Looking to give something green over the holiday season? Knack, a creative reuse center that collects discarded materials, sorts them and makes them available for people to use, is opening a unique pop-up shop in Massachusetts. Everything in the store is handmade by local artists who use at least 75% reused material. The store is open through Dec. 22.
This pop-up shop encourages shoppers to buy homemade items, and features only hand-crafted goods, ranging from paintings and jewelry to pillows and flasks. The "holiday shopping spectacular" brings more than 120 vendors to one place through Dec. 30.
If you have a techie on your holiday gift list, you won't want to miss the tech giant's take on the Christmas pop-up shop. Before you swipe your credit card this holiday season, you can test-drive Google's latest devices like the Nexus 7 tablet and Chromebook. Google has set up 6 pop-up stores in retail centers nationwide: New York; Annapolis, MD; Chicago; Los Angeles; Sacramento, CA; and Paramus, NJ. Stores are expected to close by Dec. 24.


PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial yesterday called on all players to display proper conduct in the aftermath of a stabbing incident over the weekend that saw Alaska rookie Jeron Teng, Rain or Shine center Norbert Torres and former La Salle guard Thomas Torres sustain stab wounds.
Teng and the two Torresses have been kept under observation by doctors at the St. Lukes Medical Center after figuring in a brawl with two suspects early-Sunday outside of a bar in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, an incident that rocked the local basketball community.
The three players are expected to file charges against the two suspects, identified as Edmar Manalo and Willard Basili.
While ruling out the possibility of having the league implement strict measures on off-court activities – particularly late-night hangouts – Marcial said he will personally continue to rmind players to be extra careful.
"Kinakausap ko naman sila at nireremind na mag-ingat parati," Marcial said.
The melee came days after the PBA dealt with the FIBA suspension of NLEX freshman Kiefer Ravena, who tested positive for banned substances which from an energy drink during the World Cup Qualifiers.
It is unknown when will Teng return to action, though sources hinted he may needed an extended time to recover after being stabbed on the back.
Norbert Torres, on the other hand, is expected to miss a week after being cut in the left arm. Rain or Shine will play Blackwater on Friday at the Big Dome.
Thomas Torres, who was set to play for Mandaluyong in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League, will need six weeks to recover after injuring his triceps.

German Intercept Station Operations were intercept operations that were undertaken by the German Army forces in Europe during World War II. Interception is the gathering of radio signals as part of a signals intelligence operation. It was a major part of German radio intelligence operations during World War II

History of intercept operations during the interwar period

Station operations 1915-1923
The Imperial German Army began its development of a signal intelligence organisation during World War I under the direction of Colonel Walter Nicolai. In 1906, Nicolai began his career in Abteilung IIIb, when he took over the intercept station at the Königsberg fortress in Königsberg to mainly spy on the Russians. He was commanding officer of military intelligence unit, Abteilung III b from 1913 to 1919. However it was not until 1915 that the army realised a nascent intercept organisation through the dedicated work of Nicolai. Nicolai developed the basic structure of the armies intelligence system, by creating a system of companies that monitored either short or long range wireless signals. The intercept companies were attached to the army at division level. These companies were known as fixed intercept network stations () (Feste) and became operational in 1923.

Station operations 1923–1933
Assignment of intercept coverage from 1923 to 1933 was made by the Code and Ciphers of the Defense Ministry (). The division of intercept tasks was established on a geographical basis. The Munich outstation intercepted traffic from Italy, which included the Italian colonies, Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. The Stuttgart outstation monitored France, including her colonies, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain. Münster intercept outstation monitored England including colonies and Dominions. The intercept station at Königsberg intercepted Russian traffic. The Breslau intercept station monitored communications traffic from Polish, Czechoslovakian and Russia. The Liegnitz had twice the personnel of the stations.

The personnel of each intercept station consisted of one officer, who was Chief of the station, one radio mechanic, eighteen or twenty non-commissioned officers and six or eight civilian employees used as clerks, administrators, interpreters and couriers. In 1933, five technicians were added to the personnel. Not until 1932 did the Fixed Intercept Stations (German:Feste Horchstelle) (Feste) receive their tables of organisation.  Only the finest and most experienced radio operators of the signal battalions and platoons were accepted as intercept operators. The chief of an intercept station, by having the direct support of the Reichswehr Ministry, was certain always to receive the best qualified personnel.

The material intercepted daily was studied by the traffic analysis section, bearings obtained on the stations involved and the results incorporated into a daily traffic analysis report, which was called N.B. – Meldung. All Wireless telegraphy (W/T)  intercept messages, where the keys were known was done directly at the intercept stations. The contents of the decoded messages were then evaluated. All W/T messages which could not be decoded by the intercept stations (e.g. all diplomatic messages) were sent daily to the Chi-Stelle in Berlin, where they were worked on by a larger and more specialised cryptanalytic staff of the Reichswehr. The Chi-Stelle in Berlin was divided into various sections, each headed by a section leader. The sections or desk each dealt with an individual country. In one instance, when the manoeuvrers of one of the large foreign powers were being monitored, the head of the desk dealing with the country in question was sent to the appropriate intercept station for the duration of the manoeuvres.

The first real military activity that the Munich intercept unit undertook was the monitoring of the Rif War that was fought between 1920 and 1926. The deployment and operational tactics of the Spanish and French were learned in details through the decoding of wireless messages, with the Weimar Republic supplied with regular intelligence reports.

Station operations 1933–1939
In 1933, the OKH assumed general control of the intercept organisation and the Intercept Control Station (HLS), directed intercept coverage. A program of expansion and improvement was instituted, with the creation of three new fixed intercept stations at Striegau, Hersbruck and Chemnitz. All intercept stations were improved. By 1934, for instance, each had its own building outside city limits where it was free from electrical interference and each was equipped with the latest technical improvements. In 1935, the first mobile Signal Intelligence Companies were activated, and populated from Signals Corps recruits. Officers, NCO's and privates from the fixed intercept stations acted as instructors In selecting this new military personnel, no consideration was given to an individuals background; the only requirement was a certain degree of intelligence. Many difficulties resulted, which had repercussions through the entire German Signal Corps. This policy continued for an excessively long time, around two years, in order to bring the companies up to strength. The lack of technically trained personnel, especially amongst the officers remained one of the greatest deficiencies of the German Signals Intelligence units, right up until the end of the war.

At that time, the Army was intercepting all Army, diplomatic and Air Force traffic. The Army traffic was sent for analysis to the Army cryptoanalytic and evaluation agency, the Intercept Control Station (HLS) at Berlin. Diplomatic traffic was passed either to the Codes and Ciphers Office of the Reichswehr before 1935 and later the same office at the Wehrmacht, or the Pers Z S. Technical Sergeant Karl Jering of the Signals Corps of the Air Force High Command, (Order of Battle OKL/LN Abt. 350) noted during his tour of duty, that during this period, the Army intercepted and evaluated foreign Air Force traffic, but he observed time and time again that far less importance was given to the monitoring and evaluation of Air Force traffic, than it gave to ground force traffic. The Air Force was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the Army intercept work and in 1935, began to organise its own Signals Intelligence Service. For three years however, between 1935 and 1938, the Air Force maintained close relations with the Army. Air Force employees underwent familiarization training at Army Fixed Intercept Stations and the Air Force radio intercept stations, (), (W-Stellen) were created according to the Army prototypes By 1939, the break between the Signals Intelligence Service of the Army High Command, and of the Air Force High Command was complete.

At this time the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces, the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (Abbr. OKW), also created its own intercept service for diplomatic traffic. The Army gave to the OKW two of its intercept stations, Lauf and Treuenbrietzen for the interception of this traffic. From this period on, the Army intercept service confined itself exclusively to the interception of foreign Army traffic.

Intercept operations during World War II

Intercept station operations 1939–1944
Before 1939, the German General Staff has placed very little emphasis upon intercept in the field. Nearly all intercept has been carried out by Fixed Intercept Stations. With the approach of mobile warfare, however, Germany Army intercept operations also became mobile. The new emphasis on field intercept resulted in the establishment of Signal Intelligence Regiments () (KONA) whose mobile component parts were designed to work with units of the Army Group to Army Corps level). The adaption of the KONA regiments to meet the needs of the Field Army was one of the chief accomplishments of the Army signal intelligence service.

Control of intercept coverage 1939–1944

Control of intercept coverage during the war stemmed from the Intelligence Officers of the Eastern Armies Branch and the Western Armies Branch As Alfred Jodl stated:

these officers were thoroughly familiar with the general signal intelligence picture

The chain of command was very clear during the last year of the war. The Intelligence officers of the Eastern Armies Branch and the Western Armies Branch briefed the chief of the Understaff of General der Nachrichtenaufklärung (GdNA), who had control over all the KONA regiments and who issued to them their directives for intercept coverage. In the west, the Understaff worked through the Senior Commander of Signal Intelligence, () (Abbr. Hoeh Kdr d. NA) whose function it was to coordinate the intercept coverage of KONA 5 and KONA 6.

With the other KONA, the chain of command from the Understaff was direct. The Signal Intelligence Evaluation Centre (NAAS) issued the directives for intercept coverage to all units subordinate to the KONA.

In 1941 to 1944, previous to the establishment of the GdNA organisation, the chain of command appears to have been the following:
 Non-Russian intercept coverage was distributed by the Western Armies Branch through the Control Station of the Signal Intelligence of the Army High Command (OKH/LNA)
 Russian intercept was directed by the Eastern Armies Branch through the Intercept Control Station East of the Army High Command (OKH/HLS Ost)

Assignment of intercept coverage
Assignment of intercept operations was established on a geographical basis; either eastern, south-eastern, western, southwestern. From the beginning of the war eastern, interception was given high priority and KONA 1,2,3 were assigned to eastern coverage. In 1942, KONA 6 and in 1944 and 1945, two other KONAs, KONA 8 and KONA Nord were formed also for the interception of eastern traffic. In addition, eastern interception was carried on by three independent Stationary Intercept Companies, Feste 7, Feste 8, 11 and one Long Range Signal Intelligence Platoon, Faz Nord. After 1942, new monitoring of eastern traffic was also done by the Intercept Control Station East (HLS Ost) In contrast, southeastern, western and southwestern interception were covered by one KONA regiment apiece, with one central monitoring agency for all three areas, the Control Station for Signal Intelligence (LNA).

Eastern intercept

The mission of all eastern KONA regiments was the interception and evaluation of Russian Army, Air Force   and Partisan traffic. Their intercept coverage differed only in respect to the geographical origin of the traffic. KONA 1, which was during the 1939–1944, attached to Army Group South Ukraine () covered the southern part of the Russian front. It operated in the vicinity of Lemberg, Vinnytsia, Poltava, Reichshof, and Nový Jičín. KONA 2 which was attached to Army Group Centre covered traffic on the central Russian front, moved in the vicinity of Warsaw, Borisov, Orsha, Vitebsk, Smolensk, Minsk, Grodno.  KONA 3 which was attached to Army Group North, covered traffic on the northern part of the Russian front and in the Baltic states. It was variously at Riga/Dueneberg, Pskov and Courland, where in 1945 it was caught in a pocket by the Russians and captured intact. KONA 6 was formed in 1942 to cover the traffic of the Battle of the Caucasus  While in the east, the unit was located at Rostov-on-Don, Novocherkassy and Minsk. After that campaign, it was assigned to the interception of Russian Partisan traffic, and kept this as its intercept coverage until 1944, when it was withdrawn from the east and reassigned to the Western Front.

The four independent Stationary Intercept Companies assigned to work on the eastern front had the following assignments. Feste 11 was assigned coverage of high frequency traffic on the Red Army and the NKVD. Originally this Feste was located at Winniza, latterly at Kiev. The other two Feste 7 and 8, concentrated on special Russian traffic. Feste 7 was the Russian Baudot reception station located at Minsk. In 1942–43, it was moved to Giżycko (Loetzen) where it became part of Section 4 of the HLS Ost and continued to intercept Russian Baudot traffic. Feste 8 was the former Army intercept station at Königsberg. After 1942, this station concentrated on Russian wireless telephone traffic called by the German Russian X-traffic. Attempts were made to pick up this traffic by equipment developed by Army Ordnance, Signal Equipment Testing Laboratory () (Abbr. WA Prüf 7). The channels monitored ran east of Moscow; the traffic was mainly economic in nature. From 1942 to 1944, this traffic was successfully recorded, but after 1944 the Russian wireless traffic was encrypted, and after unsuccessful efforts to decrypt these communications, the monitoring was stopped.

The Faz Nord operated in Finland after 1941. The mission of this unit was the interception of Russian Army traffic. All Russian Army systems were handled by Faz Nord except five-figure traffic which was sent in encrypted format to the Intercept Control Station.
Section 4 of the Intercept Control Station East (HLS Ost) monitored NKVD Inter-Soviet State traffic, and radio broadcasts of the Tass News Agency from Moscow.

Southeastern Intercept

Southeastern intercept was the task of KONA 4, which was the only signals regiment in the Balkans (Balkan Campaign (World War II)). For the task of intercepting traffic in this area, the component parts of the KONA were located in strategic positions. NAAS 4 was moved in the summer of 1941 to the Neo Phaliron Velodrome near Athens, where it remained there until February 1944, when it retreated to Belgrade. From Belgrade it moved back to Graz, where it had departed four years prior. Feste 5, the former Army intercept station at Graz, was moved to Epanomi in Greece. Feste 6, the former Army Fixed Intercept Station at Tulln, was stationed during this period in Athens, from which it returned to Tulln in 1944. The Close Range Signal Intelligence Platoons NAZ T was located at Kavala on the Thracian Sea. NAZ W was located in Belgrade.

The traffic intercepted by KONA 4 and its components parts was divided into two types:
 Long range traffic emanating from the Middle East and Africa.
 Traffic of the occupied Balkan countries.

Long range traffic in the Middle East emanated from Turkey, from the British Ninth Army in Palestine and Tenth Army in Iraq, and from the French Armies in Syria

Interception of Turkish traffic was carried on from 1941–1944 partly by the NAAS 4 at Neo Phaliron Velodrome but chiefly by the Close Range Signal Intelligence Platoon, NAZ T, stationed at Kavala in Greece, whose sole mission was the interception and decoding of Turkish traffic. Traffic from the British and French troops in Palestine and Syria was intercepted by NAAS 4 at Neon Phaleron.

Traffic of the occupied countries was covered before 1944 mainly by NAZ W, operating from Belgrade. This platoon covered the traffic of the Croatian adversaries, the Serbian partisans and Josip Broz Tito. Feste 5 aided by covering Greek partisan traffic. Feste 6 added Hungarian traffic to its intercept coverage in 1943 by sending a plain clothes detail to Slovakia near Pressburg (now Bratislava), Hungary to monitor this traffic. When NAAS 4 was moved to Belgrade, it concentrated on the traffic of the occupied countries and covered Yugoslavian, Romanian, Bulgarian and Hungarian traffic.

Western intercept

The traffic assigned to western intercept emanated from:
 The British Isles.
 The United States, after the entry of the USA into the war.
 Spain, Portugal and Brazil.
 Miscellaneous western traffic.

The coverage of this traffic was the task of KONA 5 which, until November 1944, was the only Signal Intelligence Regiment in the western area.

 Traffic from the British Isles was considered the most important of the western intercepts which were received overall. It had long been monitored intensively since 1939 by the GDNA, and by precursor organisations, when a Long Range Signal Intelligence Company, FAK 620 was sent to the Atlantic coast near Norderney Island to monitor British Army maneuver traffic. Although FAK 620 was sent at a later date to the eastern area, British traffic continued to be monitored by the following units of KONA 5 from 1939 to 1944:
 Long Range Signal Intelligence Company, FAK 613. This unit was stationed at Saint-Malo exclusively monitored radio traffic from the British Isles.
 Feste 2, a Stationary Intercept Company located until November 1943 in Husum in the Netherlands, after that stationed in Lille. This unit monitored only traffic of the British Isles.
 Feste 9, formed in June 1942, in Frankfurt am Main  was sent to Norway to monitor British traffic. At first the unit was stationed at Trondheim, later at Bergen, where it remained until the spring of 1944, when it moved to Ski near Oslo, Norway. The unit was tasked to intercept traffic with the point of origin being the British Army in Northern England, Scotland and the Faroe Islands.
 Feste 12, was attached to the Evaluation Centre of KONA 5 and located in Louveciennes. Until January 1944, this station monitored traffic exclusively from the British Isles.

 Traffic originating in the United States and Iceland, and from American troops in the British Isles was monitored by Feste 3, located at Euskirchen and Feste 9 located at Bergen, Norway. Feste 3 concentrated on traffic from the US. After the Autumn of 1943, Feste 3 has a special intercept unit for USA non-Morse radio teletype traffic, designated by the Germans as FF5 (From Feste 9 in Bergen, United States traffic intercepts from Iceland was monitored. This unit intercepted short wave radio traffic from London to Washington via Ireland, but without success.

The traffic of Spain, Portugal and the Brazilian Army in Italy was monitored from 1939 to 1942 by Feste 3 at Euskirchen. In early 1943, the Long Range Signal Intelligence company FAK 624, was formed at Montpellier in southern coast of France for the interception of this traffic. In January 1944, the Spanish, Portuguese and Brazilian message intercepts were shared with FAK 624 by Feste 19.

In addition to the three main commitments of the western intercept units, two other minor traffic sources were intercepted. These were Swedish Army traffic and the French Police traffic originating in Corsica. The Swedish Army traffic was intercepted by the subordinate unit of Feste 9 in Norway. This unit, known as out-station Halden, Norway () was attached for administrative purposes to the Halden Police Battalion. The French police traffic from Corsica was monitored by  FAK 624 at Montpellier.

South Western Intercept

Before 1943, the German Army () had no signal intelligence units in Italy. In February of that year, KONA 7 was established with a task of intercepting traffic from Italy and North Africa. The intercepted traffic consisted of British, American, Polish, French and Brazilian Army traffic in Italy and North Africa. There was no specific division of tasks in the various units of KONA 7; all units intercepted all Army traffic from these countries.

The most southerly location of NAAS 7, the Signal Intelligence Evaluation Centre of KONA 7, was at Rocca di Papa, about 25 km south of Rome. In September 1943, it moved into the neighbourhood of Rome, establishing itself at Vallerano. Later it moved to Vincenza in northern Italy. Feste 1, the former intercept station at Stuttgart, after sundry moves in France from 1940 to 1943 was ultimately stationed in Italy at Genzano, west of L'Aquila. Feste 9, which came to Italy from Norway in November 1944, was located in Breganze and remained there until shortly before the end of the war.

The Long Range Signal Intelligence Company, FAK 621, which was attached to KONA 7, had been originally designated as the Army Signal Company 3 () (abbr. H NA 56). This unit, which was very active in North Africa, was captured, in part, in July 1942. In May 1943, the entire company was captured in Tunisia. Until the time of its final capture, this unit intercepted traffic of British, French and American soldiers in North Africa and of the Egyptian Army and Camel Corps

Intercept Service 1944–1945

Intercept operation of OKH/GDNA
The years 1944–1945 saw the centralization of the German Army Signal Intelligence Service and its catastrophic dissolution in the months prior to the capitulation on 8 May 1945. As part of the movement to centralise the service, the OKH/GDNA assumed responsibility for the intercept and evaluation of the following types of traffic:

| The intercept and evaluation of foreign press was undertaken by Section 2 of Group I, OKH/GDNA. This section was divided into four subsections:

monitoring of eastern wireless ().
monitoring of western wireless ().
monitoring of plaintext ().
evaluation.

Owing to the personal shortage during the years of 1944–1945, Section 2 was not able to cover its commitments to any  large extent. Eastern monitoring was confined for the most part to the Moscow wireless, although in the later months, a certain amount of Balkan monitoring was confined to the BBC London Service. News monitoring was confined to the Reuters and TASS Agencies
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | Special high grade machine ciphers
| The interception and evaluation of special high grade machine ciphers of the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States were assigned to Group VI of OKH/GDNA, which was located at Potsdam. Section 1, dealing with Russian traffic, had three subsections:

Interception of Inter-Soviet State traffic.
Interception of Russian Baudot traffic.
Interception of Russian Army traffic.

The interception of Russian Baudot traffic (called by the Soviets, Z-traffic) was carried on by the same personnel who had manned the Russian Baudot station at Minsk in 1942–1943. In 1943, the Russian Baudot station was moved to HLS Ost at Giżycko, where it was absorbed by the OKH/GDNA, the Baudot station became Section 1b of the OKH/GDNA.

Section 2 of Group IV was employed with the interception (2b) and the evaluation (2a) of British and American high grade machine ciphers. The interception of this traffic had been carried on by Feste 3 at Euskirchen until the establishment of the GDNA, when the responsibility was transferred to the central agency.
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | Wireless photography
| The interception of wireless photography, called by the Germans Y-traffic, was carried on by a special unit of Section I of Group VI. This unit intercepted traffic from all over the word but the non-Russian channels are said not to have yielded any valuable information. Photos intercepted from internal Soviet traffic, however, often contained technical diagrams and charts.

Intercept Service in the field
The intercept service in the field during the last year of the war, maintained its geographical distribution: eastern, south-eastern, western, and southwestern. Paralleling the changes in the war situation, meant there was an increasing emphasis on western intercept and a corresponding decreasing emphasis on south-eastern intercept in the war situation.

With the pressure of the Allied invasion, of necessity, western intercept assumed a position of greater importance. KONA 6 was reassigned at this time from eastern to western intercept and the western KONA regiments, KONA 5 and 6 were subordinated to a Senior Commander of Signal Intelligence (Hoeh Kdr d NA) who was responsible for all signals operations in the west. Upon these two KONA's fell the task of intercepting the traffic of the invading Armies.

KONA 6 monitored traffic for Army Group H and Army Group B which were stationed in the northern part of the Western Front. Army Group H was stationed in Netherlands and in Nordrhein-Westfalen. KONA 5 monitored the traffic of Army Group G, which was stationed in the southern half of the Western Front.

One member of the Long Range Signal Intelligence Company, stated that his unit's original mission was the interception of traffic of the 1st French Army and the USA 7th Army. Later it intercepted the USA 1st Army, 3rd Army and 9th Army.

The decreasing emphasis on southeastern interception was manifested by the disbandment of KONA 4. The component parts were apparently reassigned to various fronts. South-eastern intercept and evaluation was carried out by KONA 4's successor, the newly formed NAA 16.

The situation on the Eastern front and Southeastern Front remained, for the most part, much as it had been in the previous year. To the eastern front were assigned two new KONA's, KONA 8 and KONA Nord, and to KONA 7 in Italy and one new intercept unit, Feste 9, which moved from Norway to Italy.

A German Army report on the intercept situation about January 1945, gives the following picture of the units and their coverage:

Disintegration of Intercept Operations
The constant movement of the German Armies and their intercept units during the last months of the war prevented continuous and orderly interception of enemy traffic. A brief résumé of the KONA regiments illustrates the confusion of these last months. KONA 1 withdrew from the eastern front into Czechoslovakia and was found by the invading forces at Nový Jičín. KONA 2 retreated from the vicinity of Grodno to Ortelburg in Prussia, Gdańsk (Danzig), Pregolsky Microdistrict (Holstein) and finally to the Wismar area. KONA 3 was caught in the Courland Pocket and captured. KONA 8 withdrew first into Romania, then Croatia and finally to Lantsch/Lenz. KONA 5 in the west withdrew from Louveciennes in mid-August, 1944 and went first to Viggingen near Metz. At the beginning of September, it moved to Krofdorf-Gleiberg near Giessen, where it stayed until March. From there it moved to Rhoen and finally to Dischingen. One of its units, FAK 611 moved in the spring of 1945 from the Netherlands to Flensburg. Feste 3 moved from Euskirchen into the Black Forest.

The southwestern unit, KONA 7 and its subordinates, retreated to northern Italy. Concerning southeastern intercept in the last months of the war, it is known only that NAA 16 remained as the only unit in the area.

The constant shifting of the KONA and in the late months of the war, the disruption of internal communications between various parts of the KONAs and between the KONAs and the GdNA had a disastrous effect on the whole problem of enemy intercept.

During the last months of the war, the internal intercept units of the GdNA were also disrupted. The units of Groups I and V moved with the other Groups of the GdNA to Erfurt and then to Bad Reichenhall The intercept unit of Group VI which had been covering high grade machine traffic at Potsdam was moved to Stuttgart and from there to Rosenheim The equipment was buried in the cellar in the surrounding neighbourhood of a house, the Pioneer-Kaserne in Rosengeim, where it was later found by TICOM interrogators.

An inaugural campaign is always a significant undertaking for any university, but as a public institution, Indiana State and the Foundation also faced a unique challenge in communicating the importance of private philanthropy to its mission and future.
Indiana State also underwent a transition in the University presidency at a critical early stage of the campaign—just before the Great Recession, amplifying the challenges facing the campaign's leadership and progress.
Campbell & Company saw Indiana State's first-ever comprehensive campaign as an opportunity not only to secure major gifts for the institution but to guide the University and Foundation to a higher trajectory in fundraising.
Following an initial philanthropic market study, we began developing a plan to realize Indiana State's short-term fundraising potential and build a stronger development program to drive the Foundation beyond the campaign.
Campbell & Company advised Indiana State in evolving the Foundation's governance structure and practices to function as a true independent foundation. The Campbell & Company Executive Search team then completed a successful search for the first-ever Foundation President.
When the University's leadership transition and the challenging economic climate brought to light questions about the campaign's future, we worked directly with staff and Board leadership to keep the campaign moving forward.
In 2009, the University and Foundation announced the public launch of MARCH ON! The Campaign for Indiana State University, with $77 million raised to date toward an ambitious goal of $85 million.
As of Feburary 1, 2012, the University and Foundation closed its first campaign with an attainment of $86.7 million. This comprehensive campaign will make transformative investments in student financial aid, faculty and program support, and campus facilities.

White House Rolls Out Task Force to Curb Online Abuse
Said U.S. vice president Kamala D. Harris at a White House event Thursday launching the task force, "For far too many people, the Internet is a place of fear."

The White House on Thursday launched a task force focused on the prevention of online abuse, marking one of the most significant steps the Biden administration has taken to examine the connection between digital vitriol and violence.
The launch fulfills a pledge Biden made on the campaign trail to convene experts to study online sexual harassment, stalking and nonconsensual pornography, as well as the connection between such abuse and mass shootings and violence against women. The long-awaited initiative comes on the heels of massacres in Uvalde, Tex., and Buffalo, which involved attackers with histories of online threats and radicalization.
"We continue to see how some acts of mass violence, the most recent included, have followed expressions of online hate and abuse," said Kamala D. Harris at a White House event Thursday launching the task force. Harris cited previous Washington Post reporting that one girl who observed the Uvalde gunman being threatening on social media said that was just "how online is."

Adding salt to water takes it little longer to boil but not too much, usually the intervals are just in a few seconds. This tends to reduce foaming.
If water has enough mineral dissolved in it, the boiling temperature can increase a little bit. Salt dissolved in water is salt dissolved in water. That is why a … ntifreeze ethylene glycol provides boiling protection in winter as it simultaneously provides freezing protection in the summer. Thus it will require more energy than the 1 litre of fresh water to get to boiling point, and thus take longer. I did an experiment on my kitchen stove and found that water boils very slightly faster with the lid on. Note that if pure water is heated up to a high temperature prior to the addition of the salt, the addition could cause the entire pot to start boiling suddenly. The trees of the open.
This prevents the pasta from sticking together in clumps. So, it is better to let it boil on its own. The purpose of the lid is to insulate the water or whatever else is inside the pot. The boiling point of water is at 100 degrees celsius. Image courtesy: Rebel Circus Do let us know how useful you found this article. This increase in the cooking temperature will, in theory, cause foods boiled in salt water to cook faster.
Salt increases the evaporation of water. So a big spoon of salt in a pot of water will increase the boiling point by four hundredths of a degree! The cold water should have dissolved the sugar the. Adding table salt to water causes the water to boil at a higher temperature. Gloves had to be worn to keep my hands from getting too hot. It's a dough that can be made into a variety of shapes, usually cooked by boiling.
That's well over half of an entire 737 gram blue Morton salt container! Tags: , , Published 12 April 2007 © 2019 Karl S. Now water is a very common, but very unusual, liquid. Assuming fresh water at sea level, you'd need to add 230 grams of table salt to raise the boiling point of one liter of water just 2 degrees C. Amateur chefs everywhere seem to swear by it, and some professional chefs do too. If you want to know more, look up any Second Year Physics textbook on Phase Equilibria and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. Hard water has more calcium and magnesium dissolved in it, whereas soft water has more sodium.
The tiny amount of salt required to cause a nucleation effect would have no effect on the temperature of the boiling water. Note that if pure water is heated up to a high temperature prior to the addition of the salt, the addition could cause the entire pot to start boiling suddenly. To raise the boiling point of the two quarts of water you're cooking pasta your pasta in by that same two degrees, you'd have to stir in 435 grams of salt. This is a result of the grains of salt acting as nucleation sites. This only works if one adjusts the volume of the water so that the salt is a part of the test pot.
Somewhat counter-intuitively, oil added to boiling water does not reduce the stickiness of the pasta. Another factor that affects the boiling and freezing points of water is altitude. The above statement is false. The bottom line is this: You can add a few grains of salt to pure water to kick off the boiling process with nucleation. Boiling point elevation when a non-volatile solute or a dissolvable substance—in this case, the salt is added to a pure solvent or a substance that dissolves a solute—in this case, the water itself to create a solution the salt water. This will be the process for each trial. Let's look at some numbers.
Third run add 1 Tablespoon of table salt — Trial 2 d. Want to cook potatoes fast? Shortly afterwards, it boiled again. The question is a matter of boiling point elevation. It does reduce the surface tension of the water, increased by the starches in the pasta. After first through third runs, allow pot and burner to cool 5.
Hard water, by the way, leaves a ring in your bathtub, a grayish residue on the bottom of pans, and can even make white clothes a bit grayish when washed, so if you notice these things, you probably have hard water. Now, once water is boiling, it will not get any hotter, so adding more heat will not decrease the cooking time of foods. Since the temperature of the salt water must be higher to reach the sam … e vapor pressure as the atmosphere, it takes longer to boil. It can lead people to think that this is starting to boil. One of my friends says it does raise the temperature and therefore cooks it faster. You would predict from the graph that its boiling point would be -50° C — instead, +100° C. I will use the same heating unit, pot, and thermometer each time to get more valid results.
It makes the water boil vigorously for a second or two. Once water is boiling a little stir might help , it is certainly not going to have any trouble. So as you heat water to boiling, the gases dissolved in it become. It is not possible for us to gauge how authentic this concept is without the knowledge of certain facts. When the water returns to a boil after adding the pasta, boil it for three minutes and reduce the temp and simmer it until the pasta sticks to stainless steel spoon or the side of your kitchen sink. Hence the salt water boils the fastest.

Can I Give My Dog Broccoli? | Can Pet Dogs Eat Broccoli or Not?
Unlike humans, dogs do not require large amounts of fruits and vegetables to live wholesome lives. Can dogs eat cauliflower certain vegetables and fruits do make appropriate snacks sometimes, and may even provide health benefits. .
On the surface, this makes it a unique selection for pet owners buying nutritious dog treat, however, broccoli also comprises a potentially harmful area. He also says,"broccoli has been deemed safe in dogs if the complete amount ingested is less than ten per cent of their everyday intake. Over 25 percent is considered toxic."
Ten percent of a dog's diet means completely different things for different kinds of dogs. A Labrador Retriever can eat quite a few broccoli stalks before she swallowed ten percent of her daily food intake. A Chihuahua or even a Yorkshire Terrier, on the other hand, may need just a few florets to exceed his limitation. Dr. Klein also reminds dog owners which each and every dog is exceptional. Some dogs may possibly react more strongly to broccoli than many others, therefore it is extremely important to monitor individual dogs to understand how they react to broccoli or some other brand new food item.
Like us, dogs may love their broccoli steamed or sauteed. Steaming the broccoli may help dampen the stalks and cut back your pup's risk of cataract,'' states Morgan. When sauteing, she recommends adding a little bit of coconut or olive oil into the pan for an extra-tasty treat.
It is also possible to add broccoli right to a dog's regular food, Morgan says. Simply cook it or chop it in nice bits .
Unlike humans, who might prefer lettuce like salt, ranch dressing or butter on their own broccoli, dogs should eat equally as plain as you can, '' says Ryan. Too lots of extra ingredients just add calories and also boost the chance of the broccoli irritating your pet's stomach, she adds.
In the end, remember that veggies such as dogs, such as broccoli, broccoli ought to really be served as a snack and mayn't make up a lot of one's pet's dietplan. You need them to possess sufficient energy and desire to eat their normal food, Ryan states. Speak to your vet about your personal dog's dietary needs and restrictions to find out whether and how to add broccoli into their diet.
Broccoli stalks are proven to cause obstruction in the gut, notably in tiny dogs, Dr. Klein states, therefore make sure that you cut the broccoli into bite-size chunks, also maintain your eye on your puppy since he eats. Small snacks also make it simpler to assess the amount of broccoli your pet consumes, gives you yet another reason to moderate the broccoli servings. As with any new food, focus on an extremely small slice of broccoli to be certain your pet has no negative reactions to the vegetable before consuming longer.
Broccoli is best for dogs to eat in rather tiny quantities and is served as an occasional treat, rather than regular addition to their diet, unless otherwise defined by your vet. Dogs can eat cooked and raw broccoli provided that there are not any seasonings or oils included, as these ingredients aren't good for dogs. Ask your vet should you have any questions about how much broccoli is safe for your furry friend, or if broccoli is the perfect selection of cure for your dog's health.

Just a side note: Browser-based ad blocking is way more efficient rather than filtering using DNS filter lists. The reason for this is that those in-browsing scripts can adjust the appearance of a website directly while DNS based blocking simply does not allow content from specific domains to be loaded. Depending on the used browser the result may vary.
Other apps do not depend on browsers and sideload their ads other way, like the YouTube app on Android or any ad-funded app. If you cannot attack the enemy from within you have to surround him.

Organic tomatoes bring a premium price to growers
NewsBreaking News
Paul J. Richards/AFP/Getty Images Organic tomatoes are seen for sale during an outdoor market.
By Bob Johnson | AgAlert
PUBLISHED: December 20, 2015 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: August 30, 2018 at 12:00 am
Demand for organic processing tomatoes is strong, as prices run 25 percent or even more above the standard for the conventional fruit.
But growers for this market face the daunting task of finding the 240 pounds of nitrogen it takes to grow a high-yielding crop in forms that are organically acceptable yet economically viable.
"Organic processing tomatoes is a growing industry; it is small but it is growing," said Gene Miyao, University of California Cooperative Extension farm adviser specializing in processing tomatoes in Yolo, Solano and Sacramento counties. "In 2014, organic was 2.5 percent of the canning tomatoes, and this year it was 3 percent. The base for canning tomatoes is $80 a ton, but for organic it is more than $100."
Miyao presented the latest studies on organic tomato fertility at the 23rd Annual Fertilizer Research and Education Program in Seaside, as researchers from throughout the state discussed the challenge of giving crops enough nitrogen while protecting groundwater and air quality.
These growers have to rely on building fertility in the soil because too little of the nitrogen from legume cover crops is available, and the cost of organic nitrogen by the bottle or truckload is prohibitive.
"Organic growers are trying to build up nitrogen in the soil so it will be available; they are sort of banking," Miyao said. "(UC Cooperative Extension vegetable crops specialist) Tim Hartz looked at organic tomato fields and the amount of residual soil nitrogen is greater. These experienced organic growers are trying to bank more of that residual soil nitrogen."
When Hartz tested nearly 30 conventional tomato fields for soil nitrate, there were roughly the same number with less than 10 parts per million, between 10 and 20 parts per million, or more than 20 parts per million.
But when he surveyed organic tomato fields, most of them had 20 parts per million or more nitrates in the top foot, which is the equivalent of 80 pounds or more of nitrogen fertilizer.
Most of the rest of the nitrogen needed by the crop has to come from mineralization of the large pool of organic nitrogen built up from years of cover crops, compost and incorporated crop residue.
Mineralization is the process by which organic nitrogen breaks down into plant-available nitrate or ammonium nitrogen.
Farmers and researchers are still trying to understand how to predict the speed of this mineralization process, which is important for any nutrient management program and absolutely essential for organic programs.
Lab tests will usually tell how much organic nitrogen is in the soil, but will not measure the microbial community that is largely responsible for how fast this organic nitrogen will become available to the crop.
"If we had a handle on how much nitrogen the soil is providing, we would have a better idea of how much we need to add," said Will Horwath, UC Davis professor of soil biogeochemistry. "We often don't account for mineralization in our recommendations, and if we did, we might be able to know more accurately how much nitrogen we need to add."
Horwath is part of a team of UC researchers trying to see if the levels of carbon dioxide coming from a soil sample can be used to predict the speed with which the organic nitrogen will become available to the crop.
He wondered, "Can you use a measure of the carbon dioxide coming off the soil to know how fast nitrogen is mineralizing in the soil?"
One study already found a correlation between the amount of carbon dioxide coming off the soil in day one with the amount of nitrogen that would mineralize over the next four weeks in a Texas field treated with composted manure.
"This 24-hour soil test is not going to be reliable by itself," Horwath said. "An organic grower, or a grower using cover crops or manure, might find it useful. You would also need regional calibration of results."
Numerous UC trials also show that the key to getting significant amounts of nitrogen from growing and incorporating a cover crop is to repeat the program for a number of years.
"We've done numerous long-term studies at Davis showing that you do not get too much nitrogen from a cover crop for that year's corn crop, but you still get nitrogen for the next year's crop," Horwath said. "You can push the cover crop flush later to come closer to crop peak need by incorporating later, but if you just grow a cover crop one year, you're not going to get too much nitrogen."
It is important for organic growers to get as much of their nitrogen as possible from soil and irrigation water nitrates, and mineralization of the organic nitrogen in the soil, because the other sources are very expensive.
It is vital for organic growers to find the most economical nutrients because it takes a lot of nitrogen to produce a high-yielding tomato crop, he said.
"The average processing tomato crop in California is around 50 tons per acre, and that means the crop takes up 240 pounds of nitrogen," Miyao said. "The nitrogen program for organics has been challenging. It is very challenging, with many obstacles."


If you like the feeling of being tucked away in the North Georgia mountains, yet having all the luxury of a resort, then the Hunter's Lodge is the place you want to be. Constructed of native river rock and cinnamon colored logs, this theme adorns both the outside and inside of this spectacular North Georgia cabin. With three large bedrooms, Hunter's Lodge is the place for a family reunion or a gathering of good friends.
The family area has an entire wall of stone, with a built-in fireplace and 65" 4K TV on one side and a wall of windows facing the spectacular Coosawattee River on the other. The cabin will be a hunter's dream, adorned with deer heads, antlers, fish, and more! The extra-large kitchen with ample seating and an island allows everyone to gather round and chat while enjoying drinks and some fresh Georgia Mountain trout freshly caught in the river on the private dock.
Three large luxury bedrooms all with 400 plus count bedrooms gives you enough room to sleep 14 guests. Additional sleeping spots are available for four more guests for an additional charge of $20/person/night plus additional cleaning fee.
The lower level has a full-size pool table, beverage cooler, another floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace, and decorative leather seating. It's a great space for playing games, karaoke, Playstation 3 watching a ball game, or just hanging out when you don't feel like getting outside. And if this isn't enough to entice you, let's step outside where the fun really begins! Located on the widest stretch of the Coosawattee River, you can sunbathe on a rock, sit on the deck which overhangs the river, relax in the swing built for two, nap in one of the two hammocks off the master, or just soak up this gorgeous North Georgia setting from the hot tub. For our more athletic guest, basketball – and for the more mellow mountaineer, horseshoes. The gang will have a blast playing volley ball and 4 square! Don't forget to take advantage of the fire pit. Located at the river's edge with plenty of seating, it's the perfect way to end the perfect day. There are so many incredible places to enjoy your time in this beautiful North Georgia cabin.
Situated in the Coosawattee River Resort in Ellijay, the cabin's location offers plenty of activities both inside and outside the resort if you care to venture away from this spectacular North Georgia cabin.
For those looking to explore the true heart of the North Georgia mountains, historic downtown Ellijay is a friendly haven welcoming adventurers to experience its warmth. Settled within the elegance of the Blue Ridge Mountains, downtown Ellijay is a busy marketplace that is situated on the Coosawattee River where the Ellijay and Cartecay Rivers merge. The Tabor House Museum, the Civil War library, and several historic buildings draw people from all over to trade mountain crafts and stories. Stop by the Saturday farmers market or venture to the Cartecay Vineyards. There are festivals, trails, antiques, and apples – all waiting for you!

*Seven-night minimum stay for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
*Rates are based on 1 to 14 guests. Any additional guests (up to 18) $20/per person/per night plus additional cleaning fee of $50.
We stayed in Hunter's Lodge located in Ellijay, Georgia, right on the river. Both the management company and the owner have done an extraordinary job in making sure this cabin had everything you and your family would need for an amazing time in the mountains. The housekeepers had done a superb job in providing a clean cabin, both inside and out. There were loads of games for the children to play, an out of this world race car game that worked off your cellphone, tons of outdoor equipment for basketball, horsehoes, badminton, fishing, outdoor ping pong, and an indoor game room with a regulation size pool table, and the added bonus of a hot tub. Two fireplaces, and an outdoor firepit by the river for roasting hot dogs, marshmellows, and telling stories about the deer and Canadian geese wandering through the yard. Having all these amenities (with everything working perfectly) takes some serious forethought by the owner and meticulous management and execution by Morning Breeze Cabin Rentals. We could not have been more pleased with our stay. Relaxing in a cabin like this in the mountains will restore your soul.
Had a wonderful vacation at Hunter's Lodge. We all felt right at home and hated to leave. I hope everyone had as much fun as my family. Thanks for a wonderful time.
We are so thankful to Morning Breeze for helping us find the perfect place to celebrate our Family Reunion for my mom's 80th birthday this past week. With 30+ people coming to N. Georgia for the reunion, we had a lot of questions and details to work out before the trip. They were always ready to answer any questions as we planned for the week. The 3 river cabins were clean, comfortable and well-stocked. Attention to detail was awesome. Everything went beautifully! We will definitely use them again for our next trip to N. Georgia.
We had such fun exploring all the nooks and crannies when we arrived. The inside and outside games added to our enjoyment. We cut down the side trips because there was so much to enjoy on site. A group tubed, little ones played in the river. We took advantage of badmitten, sliding down the hill, basketball, and added corn hole. All screened in porches were utilized. Older kids loved the pool table. We missed gathering around the fire pit because of rain. Lots of board games were played. All the moms and daughters loved cooking together. Our highpoint was celebrating our 50th anniversary with a slide show, prayer, sharing memories, and playing the newlywed game with parents being married 50 yrs and daughters 20 and 25! The 4 days will be a forever memory.
Property was well stocked with everything you'd need, even plenty of towels. Very clean, spacious and has a great view of the river. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table. There were plenty of space in the dining area for a large group. Great experience.
This is a beautiful, updated, and very spacious cabin right on the river that we loved! The property was perfect for a large party -- we had three couples and 5 kids. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all on separate floors, and each has it's own space and privacy with great views of the river. The cabin was very charming, comfortable and very well-stocked. Although we couldn't enjoy all the possible activities due to the weather, the property has so many options -- pool table, hot tub on the deck, a deck over the river, a fire pit right along the river, and a basketball court that got tons of use! We loved the property and look forward to coming back in the warmer weather!
We had an incredible time during our stay in the Hunter's Lodge Cabin. It was spacious, had beautiful water views, amazing backyard space with volleyball, full basketball court, horse shoe, fire pit, and the river. The kids loved it, our dog felt right at home. The app for the cabin is wonderful, Mountain Breeze staff is quick to respond. All around great time!
We recently rented Hunters Lodge for a 30th birthday weekend! We had friends come from all over and it was a magical reunion! The cabin only made it better! There was plenty of room for everyone to stay comfortably yet it still felt cozy. The cabin was clean upon arrival and had everything we could possibly need for the entire weekend. We had no issues with directions, gate entrance or anything with the cabin. We had so much fun we're already planning next years vacation! I highly recommend Morning Breeze, they were the friendliest and most efficient rental company I have dealt with.
Girls Retreat at its Finest!
This house and its amenities were perfect for our girls retreat!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Hunter's Lodge!!
This cabin is fantastic! Tons of beds so that everyone had their own, and huge common area for getting together and meals. The view from the living room looks at a beautiful hillside, and you can see and hear the river right out the back door. Owner and rental company were great to work with. Will definitely rent again!
The cabin was spacious, clean and had everything we needed to make the most of our family vacation. The river was spectacular, the wildlife was everywhere, and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We enjoyed the hot tub, the pool table, the basketball court and the many games and books that were available. The beds were comfortable! Our dogs loved the river and the hikes in the many pet-friendly parks. Susan from Morning Breeze was quite friendly, available when needed, and reservations were a breeze with her help. Thank you Morning Breeze, We cannot wait to come back to Hunter's Lodge!
The whole cabin was perfect!
We had a great time at Hunter's Lodge. I love the decorations and location was just what we were looking for. We were able to go swimming and kayaking right from the cabin. The entire group loved all the amenities this cabin had to offer, especially the basketball court for the kids and hot tub for us adults. We can't wait to come back!
We were a group of three couples and their kids who decided to take an unexpected weekend away from the crazy busy city life. The cabin was only an hour and a half from Atlanta and we felt like we were a million miles away from it all. The cabin was huge!!! Three levels, each with a bedroom and bathroom ( perfect for our group), tons of deck and yard space for the kids. The hot tub was plenty big for us adults to all enjoy after the kids went to bed, as was the firepit and few fun games of pool.
We love everything about this cabin.
BBB Review - May 2015 - Barbara S.
"The "Hunter's Lodge" is absolutely breath-taking!
"Hunter's Lodge is my favorite cabin!
Facebook - July 2014 - Terri O.
"Hunter's Lodge was more than we could have imagined. It was a perfect family retreat. Great for adults and kids. A little scary driving to get there but I live in Florida. Once we got used to it, it was fine. And we saw at least 35 deer in 4 days! Gorgeous property!


Hot off the heels of the Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition trials images from yesterday, junkington has uploaded footage of several completed combo challenges.
There are eight videos to check out, each showing all four Season 3 combos finished for Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken, Vega, Laura, Rashid, Nash, and Birdie.
Numerous new techniques are showcased here, especially considering the use of V-Trigger 2 in many of them. We see new cancels for Ryu, Nash juggling with his new Trigger 2 moves, and extended combos for Vega.
The images we saw yesterday included the full launch roster, and so far only half of the videos have been posted. Junkington noted on Reddit that the remainder of the original 16 characters will be uploaded soon.
Later today, we can expect to see two live streams from Capcom that aim to show off Arcade Edition content. We'll be seeing Sakura, as well as more of the new V-Triggers.
Below is one of Laura's new combos in action.

Just before Endgame hit the theaters, Highlander fans in New York City attended a launch party and were treated to a showing of a workprint — an early version of the film — courtesy of a party attendee in the know. Soon after Endgame was released, the workprint started showing up in an alt.binaries newsgroup, on video CDs being auctioned on eBay, and even as an item for sale from a shady New York street vendor.
Is it worth forking out money for the workprint... especially when the upcoming Endgame DVD is going to carry the version of the film shown in theaters plus a second longer version... especially when a director's cut may also be released? Most importantly, is there extra footage of Methos in the workprint?!
Well, the conversation between Duncan and Methos is slightly longer — but slightly longer on next to nothing is still next to nothing.
If you're still not sure whether to buy, Jan the Man has a detailed review of the differences between the theatrical version of Endgame and the workprint on his Ode to Connor MacLeod website. (Go to the "Endgame" page.) He also recently added screencaps of many workprint-only scenes, including a special Methos pic just for us!


Home-based Wildlife Rehabilitation - Into the Wild, Inc.
The majority of wildlife rehabilitators in the United States are home-based. That is, they care for the animals they intake within their homes and on their own property.
The regulations and laws that govern wildlife rehabilitation can be very complex. These procedures vary from state to state and even within different regions of the same state. Some states issue permits to wildlife centers only, while in other states, permits are issued only to individuals and every person working at a center must have their own permit. Both centers and individuals can obtain permits in several states, and rehabilitators who care for birds must have a Federal permit, as well.
The quality of care should not depend on whether the rehabilitator is based in a center or in a home. When given a choice, most rescuers pick a rehabilitator by word-of-mouth recommendation or by proximity to their home or workplace. Ask questions if you have any concerns about the quality of care that will be provided to a wild animal. Most rehabilitators are very passionate about their work and are happy to discuss it with you.
Is it Safe to Rehabilitate Wildlife in Residential Areas?
Yes. The actions of wildlife rehabilitators do not hinder public safety; they enhance it.
All wildlife rehabilitators work with native wildlife; animals that surround us all, everyday, in every neighborhood, urban or rural.
Persons are no more likely to become ill or be injured by wildlife simply due to the presence of a home-based wildlife rehabilitation facility; backyard encounters are far more likely.
Rehabilitators are prohibited from displaying wildlife in care; therefore, the public does not come into contact with rehabilitation animals, negating any risk of contact with rehabilitation animals.
Licensing laws, regulations, professional standards are well-established and ensure the safety of the animals and the public regardless of the location of the rehabilitation facilities.

Q: sqlite odbc silent install How to Silent install sqlite odbc driver ?. Found here http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/
i found 2 methods to connect to sqlite one is above and the other one is dhSqlite(vbRichclient4.dll,vb_cairo_sqlite.dll and DirectCOM.dll). which is a class library and replacement for ADO it seems for sqlite. but i could not find any documentation for this one.
i like sqliteodbc because it just works with ADO. but dhsqlite can be installed along with the app. Also dhSqlite contains the sqlite3 engine also i suppose. is it true?.
Could you suggest which one i could follow? or is there any other option i could check?. I am looking for it to be a silent install or install as
part of my app. itself; free and supported for vb6
Thanks

A: If you use Inno Setup for distributing your application and use sqliteodbc 0.9996 version, we can add script like this:
[Files]
Source: sqliteodbc0.9996.exe; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: deleteafterinstall
[Run]
Filename: {tmp}\sqliteodbc0.9996.exe; Parameters: /S; StatusMsg: "Installing SQLite ODBC Connector..."

A: Win32 install/remove/shell by RUNDLL32
Each driver DLL provides entry points for ODBC driver installation
  and removal which can be invoked from RUNDLL32.EXE, eg
### install sqliteodbc.dll
  C:> rundll32 [path]sqliteodbc.dll,install [quiet]
### remove sqlite3odbc.dll
  C:> rundll32 [path]sqlite3odbc.dll,uninstall [quiet]
