It was under Frankish leadership that the First Crusade conquered the Holy Land from the rule of the Turks. Baldwin of Boulogne was crowned the First King of Jerusalem.
For nearly 116 years, from 1336 to 1453, France and England engaged in on-and-off warfare for control of France. After suffering major defeats at Crecy (1346), Poitiers (1356), and Agincourt (1415), finally managed to drive the English out of France for good with the aid of St. Joan of Arc.
The Italian Wars were a series of wars from 1494 to 1559 for control over the States of Italy, mainly involving France and Spain, but also involving most other European states, and the imprisonment for several months of Pope Clement VII.
Originally arising from dynastic disputes over the Duchy of Milan and the Kingdom of Naples, the wars rapidly became a general struggle for power and territory among their various participants, and were marked with an increasing degree of alliances, counter-alliances, and regular betrayals. The Habsburg were eventually victorious with the French and their allies suffering major defeats.
The War of the League of Cognac (1526–1530) pitted the League of Cognac (an alliance of France, England, Pope Clement VII, Venice, Florence, and elements of Milan) against the Habsburg dominions of Emperor Charles V—primarily Spain and the Holy Roman Empire.
By 1539, France's ally, Florence alone continued to resist Emperor Charles V's Imperial forces, which were lead by the prince of Orange of the Principality of Orange. A Florentine army under Francesco Ferruccio engaged the Imperials at the Battle of Gavinana in 1530, but although Orange himself was killed, the Imperials won a decisive victory, and the Florentine Republic surrendered ten days later. With this decisive Habsburg victory; not only did the entire League of Cognac suffer a loss, but France especially was humiliated.
The Seven Years' War (1754 and 1756–1763) was a war that pitted Great Britain and Prussia against France and Austria. The war was described by Winston Churchill as the first world war, as it was the first conflict in human history to be fought around the globe, although almost all of the combatants were either European nations or their overseas colonies.
The British-French hostilities were ended in 1763 with a French defeat that was made official by the Treaty of Paris; which was particularly catastrophic for France because it lost most of its colonial empire to Britain, especially Canada and India.
The French and Indian War was the nine-year North American theater of the Seven Years' War. The conflict was caused by land disputes. Specifically both the British and the French claimed the vast territory between the Appalachians and the Mississippi river, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, known as the Ohio Country.
The French conceded their defeat and a British victory with the 1763 Treaty of Paris. As a result of the French defeat, the British gained control of French Canada and Spain gained control of Louisiana. Overall, French administrative presence in North America was almost completely removed.
The Haitian Revolution was the first successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere and established Haiti as a free republic. At the time, Haiti was a colony of France known as Saint-Domingue.
After two years of dispute among elements of the free population, a great slave uprising plunged the country into civil war in 1791. Slavery was first abolished on August 29, 1793 on the island. But by 1802, it was obvious that the French intended to re-establish slavery. As a result, the black population continued the fight against the French. The leader of the revolution, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, led the rebellion until its completion, when the French were finally defeated at the Battle of Vertières in November 1803.
The Napoleonic Wars were a series of wars fought between France (led by Napoleon Bonaparte) and alliances involving England and Prussia and Russia and Austria at different times. They were partly an extension of conflicts sparked by the French Revolution, and continued for the duration of the First French Empire.
The Napoleonic Wars ended on 20 November 1815, following France's final defeat at Waterloo and the Second Treaty of Paris.
The Quasi-War was an undeclared war fought entirely at sea between the United States and France from 1798 to 1800. The conflict began because the French began to stealing American ships trading with the British.
The war started on July 7, 1798, when Congress rescinded treaties with France. United States Naval squadrons then sought out and attacked the French privateers. By October 1800, the United States Navy produced a reduction in the activity of the French privateers and warships, defeating the French. The French had already admitted this defeat with the Treaty of Mortefontaine on September 30, 1800.
The Peninsular War (1808–1814) was a major conflict during the Napoleonic Wars, fought in the Iberian Peninsula with Spanish, Portuguese, and the British forces fighting against the French. It has been described as "a hammer and anvil" campaign, the hammer being the Anglo-Portuguese Army, commanded by Sir Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, with 40,000 to 80,000 men, and the anvil being the Spanish armies, the Spanish guerillas and the Portuguese militia.
The Peninsular War was the first guerrilla conflict (a term coined for this war) and lasted until the Sixth Coalition defeated France in 1814.
The Sixth Coalition (1812-1814) was a coalition of the Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, Sweden, Austria and a number of German States against France. After France's disastrous defeat in Russia, the continental powers saw a final opportunity to defeat the French and joined the coalition which previously consisted only of the Russians and British in addition to Spanish and Portuguese rebels in Iberia.
2.5 million troops fought in the conflict and the total dead amounted to as many as 2 million (some estimates suggest that over a million died in Russia alone). It included the battles of Smolensk, Borodino, Lützen, Dresden and the epic Battle of Nations — the largest of the Napoleonic wars, and indeed the largest battle in Western history up until the First World War. The final stage of the war led to the Allies occupying Paris, forcing the French to admit defeat.
The Franco-Mexican War lasted from December 8, 1861 to June 21, 1867. It began with the invasion of Mexico by the army of the Second French Empire. It followed President Benito Juárez's suspension of payments of interest on loans to foreign countries made by previous governments on July 17, 1861, which angered the French government. France wanted to exploit the rich mines in the north-west of Mexico. The French started the war when they did due to the fact that the United States was in the middle of its Civil War, and thus was unable to intervene as they would have due to the Monroe Doctrine.
The presidential terms of Benito Juárez were interrupted by the French occupational monarchy, which was eventually overthrown in early 1867. The Mexicans occupied the rest of the states of Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí and Guanajuato in January 1867. The French evacuated the capital on February 5, 1867. The French instituted puppet monarch, Maximilian of Habsburg was executed on June 19, 1867 by the forces loyal to President Benito Juárez.
The Franco-Prussian War (July 19, 1870 – May 10, 1871) was fought between France and Prussia (backed by the North German Confederation) allied with the south German states of Baden, Bavaria and Württemberg. The conflict marked the culmination of tension between the two powers following Prussia's rise to dominance in Germany, still a loose federation of quasi-independent territories.
Over a five-month campaign, the German armies defeated the French army in a series of battles fought across northern France. Following a prolonged siege, the French capital Paris fell on January 28, 1871. The French admission of defeat, the Treaty of Frankfurt was signed May 10, 1871, during the time of the bloody Paris Commune of 1871.
The Sino-French War (also called the Tonkin War) was fought between France and China over Indochina. France had already established a colony in southern Indochina, but was expanding northward, bringing it into conflict with China, which controlled the city of Hanoi and the surrounding province of Tonkin. The war began in 1883, and French forces won a series of victories against the Chinese and soon captured Hanoi. A proposed peace treaty would have made Tonkin a joint Sino-French protectorate, but continued fighting led France to demand more concessions, which China rejected. The Chinese army was able to hold off French incursions into southern China, but on August 23, 1884, French cruisers and gunboats destroyed the Chinese fleet at the Roads of Foochow in central China. French losses in the battle were slight. The Chinese were forced to surrender Tonkin, and peace was concluded on June 9, 1885.
Following major defeats at the outbreak of war in August 1914 in which German forces threatened Paris, because of troops from French-controlled Africa the French barely managed to push back the German advance at the Battle of the Marne. Alongside Britain, they fought the war to a standstill that lasted years. In the summer of 1917 the United States joined the war, and in November, 1918, the United States military enabled the combined forces of France, Britain, and the U.S. to defeat the Central Powers.
After the so-called Phony War from 1939 to 1940, Nazi Germany managed to inflict a humiliating defeat on the French. The French Third Republic formally surrendered to Germany on June 25, 1940 and voted itself out of existence. The reorganized French government, known as the Vichy regime, enthusiastically joined the Axis. In 1944, France was invaded by the Allied powers. After the French surrendered for the second time in less than five years, the Fourth French Republic out of the French National Committee led by Charles de Gaulle.
The French-Thai War (1940 - 1941) was fought between Thailand and Vichy France over certain areas of French Indochina that had once belonged to Thailand. In early January 1941, the Thai lauched their offensive. Many French units were simply swept along by the better-equipped Thai forces. The Thais swiftly took Laos. Because of over-complicated orders and nonexistent intelligence, the French counterattacks were cut to pieces and fighting ended with a French withdrawal from the area.
The Japanese Empire mediated the conflict, and a general armistice was arranged to go into effect at 1000 hours on January 28. On May 9 France admitted defeat in Tokyo, with the French relinquishing their hold on the disputed territories.
The First Indochina War (also called the French Indochina War) was fought in Southeast Asia from 19 December 1946 until 1 August 1954 between the nation of France and the resistance movement led by Ho Chi Minh, called the Viet Minh. Most of the fighting took place in Northern Vietnam (the area the French referred to as Tonkin) although the conflict engulfed the entire country and also extended into the neighboring Indochinese countries of Laos and Cambodia.
In 1954, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu occurred between Viet Minh forces under Võ Nguyên Giáp and French airborne and Foreign Legion forces. The French suffered an humiliating defeat. At least 2,200 members of the 20,000-strong French forces died during the battle. Shortly after Dien Bien Phu, the Groupe Mobile 100 of the French army were wiped out at the Battle of Mang Yang Pass. The Viet Minh victory at Dien Bien Phu led to the departure of France from Vietnam.
The Tunisian War of Independence was fought from 1952 to 1956 between France and a guerilla movement of Tunisia, a nation that had been a French territory since 1881. The guerilla movement was lead by Habib Bourguiba.
In 1954, Pierre Mendes-France became the leader of the French government and pursued a policy of surrender. This resulted with the April 1955 agreement which handed internal autonomy to Tunisian hands while international relations were managed by France, a similar situation to the Turkish Bey method of governance in pre-1881. The use of torture by the French government, in particular by Paul Aussaresses, in the Algerian War of Independence further weakened the French claim to the area, leading to the abolition of the Treaty of Bardo and Tunisia gaining full independence in March 20, 1956.
The Algerian War of Independence (1954–62) was one of the most important decolonisation wars and a complex conflict. It was characterized by guerrilla fighting and terrorism against civilians on both sides and counter-terrorism operations by the French Army. It was effectively started in November 1954. Under orders from Socialist Guy Mollet's (SFIO) government, the French Army initiated a campaign of "pacification" of what was considered at the time to be fully part of France. This "public order operation" quickly turned into a full-scale war.
France eventually conceded defeat with the March 1962 Evian Accords which organized the independence of Algeria, ending French imperialism.
France contributed soldiers to the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, and sustained casualties. As of 2009, French forces are still stationed in the theater.

Where to go skiing in Austria at the end of the season?
They open early and they close late – of course, an altitude of just under 2000 metres helps with that! Obergurgl is a non-glacier resort but it is a member of the group that are the last to close. This season they are planning to go through to April 28.
Sölden is one of the main glacier resorts in the Tyrol and also offers summer skiing later on in the year. Sölden takes some pride in being a little bit livelier than its neighbour Obergurgl (Obergurgl residents and visitors might say "brasher") and heads towards the end of the winter with the two-day Electric Mountain Festival from April 04-05. The final winter date is April 28 although the resort then switches into spring season mode with reduced ski area (glacier only) and tickets until May 05.
Another late-closing non-glacier resort where the snow depths are looking pretty good. Lech currently plans to close on April 28 and the Lech Sister Resort Party celebrating links with German, Japanese and American resorts will take place a couple of weeks earlier on April 13.
Ischgl usually gets a superstar "name" to round off the season – this year it is US rock legend Lenny Kravitz who will be playing at the Top Of The Mountain Concert on April 30. Before that, however, there is an Easter concert on the slopes on April 21 with German singer-songwriter Johannes Oerding.
The Stubai glacier ski area doesn't "do" spring closing – they'll be carrying on through into the summer, snow conditions permitting on some of the highestslopes in the country.
Over tothe province of Salzburg and their own high-level non-glacier resort of Obertauern. Located at an altitude of 1750m they are planning to stay open through to May 01.
The glaciers above Kaprun stay open well into the spring, given good snow conditions. The official end of the winter is April 28, but the lift passes then move into a spring period which lasts until May 05 and finally changes into a summer mode where skiing is closed until the beginning of December.
Enjoy the selection of some of the Austrian ski resorts that we cover that are staying open later this year and take the opportunity to say goodbye to the winter properly!

Pediatrics. 2013 Sep;132(3):e646-55. doi: 10.1542/peds.2012-4022. Epub 2013 Aug 19.
BACKGROUND: Di-2-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) is an environmental chemical commonly found in processed foods. Phthalate exposures, in particular to DEHP, have been associated with insulin resistance in adults, but have not been studied in adolescents.
Using cross-sectional data from 766 fasting 12- to 19-year-olds in the 2003-2008 NHANES, we examined associations of phthalate metabolites with continuous and categorical measures of homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).
Controlling for demographic and behavioral factors, diet, continuous age, BMI category, and urinary creatinine, for each log (roughly threefold) increase in DEHP metabolites, a 0.27 increase (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.40; P < .001) in HOMA-IR was identified. Compared with the first tertile of DEHP metabolite in the study population (14.5% insulin resistant), the third tertile had 21.6% prevalence (95% confidence interval 17.2%-26.0%; P = .02). Associations persisted despite controlling for bisphenol A, another endocrine-disrupting chemical commonly found in foods, and HOMA-IR and insulin resistance were not significantly associated with metabolites of lower molecular weight phthalates commonly found in cosmetics and other personal care products.
Urinary DEHP concentrations were associated with increased insulin resistance in this cross-sectional study of adolescents. This study cannot rule out the possibility that insulin-resistant children ingest food with higher phthalate content, or that insulin-resistant children excrete more DEHP.


One thing that becomes painfully clear when I travel is the level of suffering and hardship experienced by many in poorer countries.
In said countries, suffering and loss seem to play a very real part in people's everyday lives; while in contrast, our lives in modern western countries have had large amounts of this same suffering almost entirely erased. Our comfortable life has made us forget that suffering and loss is an important part of being humans.
People see life as a generally pleasant and fair experience. They take comfort and safety for granted and as a basic right. Whenever the bad things happen we presume that something has gone wrong, someone has made a mistake or we have been wronged by someone. We point fingers and start to look for someone to blame.
Unfortunately life isn't fair; it can be cruel and at some point we will all have to face suffering and loss. One look at nature can give a view into just how unfair, fragile and brutal life can be at the extreme where there are no laws or ethical guidelines.
In nature, death is a part of everyday life. One moment a gazelle is enjoying his dinner, and the next he is dinner for a lion. Similarly, if the lion does not eat then she and her family will die. Thousands of years ago, human life would have been exposed to the same laws and way of life.
We often think that only the animal kingdom would allow for children to be killed during territory conflicts and for weakness to be preyed upon. We are happy to hear David Attenborough speak about how whole communities are killed by drought and disease and how leaders are overthrown given the slightest sign of weakness. Shockingly, in extreme circumstances, this is a reality for some people too.
So what does this mean for us? By having less exposure and being less prepared mentally for loss or suffering do we take a harder hit? Being naive to the true nature of life and being less exposed to its realities maybe leaving us open to a greater shock and the potential after effects on our mental and physical well-being.
As we start descending into Heathrow, I often find that looking out over London is the one moment where I see how fortunate I am. I get a better perspective on the 'problems' I am faced with in my comfortable life.
If you can afford to travel, maybe take a trip off the beaten track next time and give up the comforts of the 5* beach resort in exchange for something a little more real. It may be briefly uncomfortable, but the fresh perspective could be priceless.

It pains me when people tell me that they hate self-promotion… when they own a business.
Without self-promotion or marketing, you're just someone with a skill and a website, but no sales.
That doesn't sound like the ideal picture, now does it?
I think it's extremely important for every business owner to feel comfortable with marketing. If you think about it, we're ALL in the business of marketing. We must practice it every day if we want our businesses to grow and we must do a few shameless plugs to make sure people know we're still alive.
But, before we dive into the 3 things you must know before you master the art of marketing & sales, I think it's important that you shift your "marketing mindset" – what I like to call THE MARKETING MINDSHIFT. Clever, I know.
Now that we've got that covered, let's go over the three things you need to understand in order to make sure your marketing efforts work for you.
Understanding what you want to be known for will shape your entire business. It'll shape what content you write, the people you surround yourself with and the bigger message that you're sharing with the world.
2. Who do you want to help? Who are your dream customers?
This is the most important thing that you need to understand if you want to be a successful marketer. If you don't understand who you want to help and you don't understand everything there is to know about your dream customers, you won't be able to write sales copy that speaks directly to them. You won't be able to use their exact language when writing your website copy or creating your new offerings.
Becoming extremely clear on who you want to work with and narrowing in on what you think is already a narrow niche will set you up for more success, especially in the early stages of your business. After a few years, you'll be able to target a much broader group of people because you've already established yourself as a leader in your industry.
3. What problem can you solve for your dream customers?
This is the most important question to understand if you want your business to make money.
And you know how I feel about this – if you aren't making money, you don't have a business, you have a hobby.
Going back to #2, once you truly understand who your dream customers are, it'll be easier to understand what their biggest frustrations and pain points are. You'll understand what keeps them up at night and how you can solve that problem for them.
You also need to listen to what your dream customers are already saying by finding them online and paying attention to them.
You can interview your dream customers and ask them directly.
What are your biggest frustrations with marketing and sales? I'd love to know so that I can be sure to include it in an upcoming course that I'm putting together.

We all love movies! ~However~, we can all agree that there are things that happen in movies that are unrealistic AF.
Well, recently, Reddit user CodeBrode asked, "What are some examples of 'Movie Logic' that don't work in real life?" and these responses will give the you validation that you NEED!

Patios are best enjoyed when you stay cool and under the shade, keeping you off from the harmful UV rays from the sun. While some people would want a permanent structure in their patio through patio awnings, others would rather have giant umbrellas canopy/canopies instead to complete their outdoor décor.
Canopies come in a wide array of styles and sizes to suit your preferred patio look; there are also various forms and shapes that you can choose from. But how do you actually know which one is perfect for you?
Size of the umbrella. As mentioned earlier, there's a lot of giant umbrella sizes to choose from. To pick which one would suit your patio best, you need to first find out how much space do you actually need for the canopies to occupy? And of course, how much are you willing to spend for your giant umbrellas canopy. Picking an oversized umbrella may be too overwhelming in your patio, especially if you have very limited space. Typical umbrella canopy size go about 2 feet on each side of your dining table.
Pole height. It's also important to factor in how high your giant umbrellas canopy would go. You need this in case you have guests who are taller comeover and visit your place. The average height of most canopies is at least 7 feet tall.
Base of the umbrella. Your umbrella's base is one of the most important factors to consider when getting an umbrella canopy for your patio. If the base is too light, it won't be able to hold the umbrella long enough; the wind will fly it. For smaller umbrellas, the suggested weight for the base is 20 lb., however, the minimum weight for free-standing umbrellas is 40 lb. Free-standing umbrellas can be used for tables up to 7.5' width. For tables longer than that, there are bases that weigh 50 lb. The most free-standing giant umbrellas canopy though would have a base that weighs more than 70 lb. If you live in a rather windy area, you may want to get a cantilever outdoor giant umbrellas canopy.
Type of umbrella. Not only do canopies come in different sizes, height, and weight; they also come in various types. There are tilting umbrellas that you can adjust the angle as the sun moves; cantilever umbrellas, which are similar to tilting umbrellas, only, they offer increased flexibility. Cantilever umbrellas are very sturdy too that they can handle harsh weather. Table and free-standing umbrellas work well for dining tables located in poolside. They're lighter compared to cantilever umbrellas.
Fabrics. In choosing the fabric of your canopies, the key things to consider are its durability – they should be UV-resistant, waterproof fabrics. It's also nice to have those with breathable designs. For extra protection (if you have the extra budget), you may opt for fiberglass umbrellas.
There are just a few things to help you pick which giant umbrellas canopy will work perfectly for your patio improvement.

Charlie Kirk Calls for an 'Amazing Patriot' to Bail Out Alleged Pelosi Attacker

Powered by NewsAPI , in Liberal Perspective on October 31, 2022 .
Pro-Trump provocateur Charlie Kirk on Monday continued to flog baseless and outright false conspiracy theories about the brutal assault on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's husband, this time calling for an "amazing patriot" to bail out the alleged assailant ahead of the midterm elections.
Over the past few days, prominent Republicans and right-wing media figures have simultaneously downplayed, mocked, and peddled disinformation about the attack perpetrated by 42-year-old David DePape.
While flat-out rejecting that the assault on Paul Pelosi was politically motivated—despite DePape's extensive online footprint of espousing far-right rhetoric—many conservatives have embraced the unhinged conspiracy that it was actually a drunken gay sex orgy gone bad.
Kirk, who founded the MAGA student organization Turning Point USA, has been at the forefront of pushing the baseless claim that Pelosi and DePape knew each other and that the alleged attacker did not break into the speaker's house.
During his podcast on Monday, the far-right pundit continued to go down that conspiratorial rabbit hole.
"Why is the Republican Party, why is the conservative movement to blame for gay schizophrenic nudists that are hemp jewelry makers breaking into somebody's home—or maybe not breaking into somebody's home?" Kirk exclaimed. "Why are we to blame for that exactly?"
Over the weekend, new "Chief Twit" Elon Musk tweeted a link (which he later deleted) to a story from an online right-wing rag claiming Pelosi was actually drunk and got into a dispute with a leftist male prostitute. "There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye," Musk wrote, replying to a Hillary Clinton tweet bashing Republicans for creating a toxic political environment.
"And why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out?" Kirk continued on his show. "By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out. I bet bail's like 3src or 4src thousand bucks. Bail him out and then go ask him some questions. I wonder what his bail is?"
Outside of calling for DePape to be bailed out so right-wing conspiracists could "ask him some questions," Kirk is apparently unaware that the suspect is currently in the custody of the San Francisco Police Department and being held without bail.
"They're going after him with attempted murder, political assassination, all of this stuff. I'm not qualifying it. I think it's awful. It's not right," he added. "But why is it that in Chicago you're able to commit murder and be out the next day?"He then went on to claim that DePape's blogs and social media posts espousing QAnon beliefs and violently nutty vitriol were a false flag.
"And, by the way, why is it that the media hasn't mentioned that they're all these, allegedly, far-right websites that popped up attributed to him and then they were taken down a few days later?" Kirk bellowed. "Who's to blame for that exactly? By the way, as soon as I read those far-right websites that were supposedly attributed to him, I told my team, this is so fake. This is written as if it's a leftist trying to make it seem as if it was somebody on the right. It just seems so artificial."
The evidence that conservatives have presented as proof that DePape's conspiracy blog was forged is the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine showing it was only recently crawled, falsely insisting that it actually shows that the site was only created after the attack. Additionally, as CNN's Andrew Kaczynski has noted, URL searches from the blog show that some pages had been archived months ago.

Q: At it's core, how is boost tuple implemented (without all the extra details in the boost header) It seems to be a hardcoded template with 10 things, but there is also an implementation for a cons template class very similar to Typelist from Lokki. So is the boost tuple template just a wrapper around a Typelist/cons implementation? Or what is the gist of it?

A: In C++03 (because otherwise we would be talking about std::tuple) there is no variadic template feature, therefore it is emulated with a sufficient number of parameters (*) with a specific default.
You can get a hint of the actual implementation reading the Design decisions rationale:

The end mark of the cons list (nil, null_type, ...)
Tuples are internally represented as cons lists:
tuple<int, int>

inherits from
cons<int, cons<int, null_type> >

null_type is the end mark of the list. Original proposition was nil,
  but the name is used in MacOS, and might have caused problems, so
  null_type was chosen instead. Other names considered were null_t and
  unit (the empty tuple type in SML).
Note that null_type is the internal representation of an empty tuple:
  tuple<> inherits from null_type.

(*) Usually in Boost the code is generated with the use of macros so that the upper limit is configurable.

In fact, I just wanted to make another photo shoot with a treehouse. But then my eyes were caught by a "Mini Cooper" with a tent on it's roof. Equally romantic but far more comfortable. Furthermore, with the car you can drive wherever you want. This is how a new inspiring winter photoshoot vision was born.
Winter comfort dishes were grilled outdoors by Svetlana Vaganova, the Chef of the restaurant "Habbit" and the founder of the coffee shop "Atostogos". You can try to make these delicious flavourful dishes on Christmas or bridging days – your friends and family members will be surprised.

Jenő Ádám (12 December 1896 15 May 1982) was a Hungarian music educator, composer, and conductor.

Born in Szigetszentmiklós (Kingdom of Hungary), he studied composition and conducting at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music where he was a pupil of Zoltán Kodály. He later became a longtime teacher at the school and developed a close working relationship with Kodály. Beginning in 1935, the two collaborated on a long term project to reform music teaching in the lower and middle schools.

Many of Ádám's teaching methods and curricula developed during that project were adopted by Kodály and are now a part of the Kodály Method. Ádám was the author of several books on music education that were published in Hungary during the 1940s, two of which were co-authored with Kodály. His methodology has had a profound impact on music education internationally and is still studied today by students of the Kodaly Method. The Organization of American Kodály Educators has established an academic scholarship in his name

Ádám was responsible for the first performances in Hungary of the Dettingen Te Deum and other oratorios by George Frideric Handel, L'enfance du Christ by Hector Berlioz, and Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell.

As a composer, he was best known for his operas: Ez a mi földünk (1923), Magyar karácsony (1931) and Mária Veronika (1938), of which the latter two premiered in Budapest at the Royal Hungarian Opera House. He was also the conductor of choirs at the Academy of Music, the chorus master at the Royal Hungarian Opera House, and the conductor of numerous other choirs during his career.

IK introduces 'acoustic room correction in a plug-in' (and new AmpliTube gear)
By Lee du-Caine 09 October 2007
IK Multimedia officially announced the release of several new products at the AES show, and rather intriguing offerings they are too.
The most unusual of these is the all-new ARC System, which is said to be "the first acoustic room correction system in a plug-in". It's purported that ARC will correct for both frequency and timing response issues in your studio room, to "improve how your studio sounds forever". While it's no substitute for proper acoustic treatment and correct placement of your gear, ARC is said to offer noticeable improvements for pretty much any kind of setup.
The system is based on the Audyssey MultEQ technology, and reading up on the FAQ on Audyssey's site gives some insight into how it actually does its stuff, as does the information given on IK's ARC site area.
The ARC System itself consists of a measurement microphone, measurement software, and a correction plug-in, as shown above. The idea is that you hook up the supplied calibrated measurement mic to your computer, and the measurement software pumps signals through your speakers, analysing the results via the mic. Once you're done, you just slap the correction plug-in on the master bus in your DAW, for "results like you´ve never heard before, hugely improving the accuracy of your monitoring system". Hmm!
So, some very bold promises are being made here, and for £469, we'd hope that ARC can live up to them. If it really is as good as they say, IK could have a huge hit on their hands, but we'll be reserving judgment until we can get the ARC System in for review - it's scheduled for release this year.
On a more down-to-earth note, IK Multimedia also announced several exciting new AmpliTube products at AES. First up, there's
AmpliTube Metal
($249/€199), which should be out this year, and is designed to satisfy the crunch-lust of steel-wielders everywhere. And if you're concerned about having yet another AmpliTube plug-in to handle, then IK's
X-Gear
$100/€80 should help. It's a software shell-host that allows you to load any of the current AmpliTube products into it, allowing for easy switching and mixing of patches. And at last, the
StompIO
($1049/€869) foot controller finally seems to be making it into production, which should allow us to literally put the pedal to the (AmpliTube) Metal.

Cramer's Stop Trading!: ConocoPhillips
On Thursday's Stop Trading! segment on CNBC, Jim Cramer says he's no longer confident that exploring for shale gas makes financial sense.
Andrea Tse
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- On his CNBC Stop Trading! segment Thursday, Jim Cramer said "I'm not confident anymore" that it makes financial sense to explore for natural-gas-rich shale.
"The president is focused on oil and coal," he said.
Nevertheless, Cramer said,
CEO Jim Mulva has indicated that he wants to go after lots of natural gas. The company bought oil-and-gas producer Burlington Resources in 2006.
Cramer said that though Mulva "runs a great company," it's not growing as fast as Cramer would like. Still, he said, he likes that ConocoPhillips is "pro-shareholder."
Plus, Mulva will be truthful about where the price of oil is going. "He doesn't hedge."
Carmer also added that "Conoco is not alone in pushing towards gas."
The markets turned higher on Thursday, and shares of oil and natural gas company
EOG Resources
(EOG) - Get Report
, surged along with it. The stock also made gains Wednesday after the company hiked its production forecasts and said it expected to take advantage of newly-discovered crude oil resources, while somewhat shifting away from natural gas properties.
EOG was the first stock that Cramer analyzed Wednesday, noting that the company recently "went and gave a presentation," and the audience "ate it up, and then some."

Online Extra: Gates: "IBM Isn't Doing That Much": "Q: Earlier, you were somewhat dismissive about IBM's ability in this business. Do you think IBM will not be a significant competitor in the collaboration software market for you guys?
A [Gates]: I think IBM's success in the productivity software business will stay the same that it has been. Do you know anybody using DisplayWrite, OfficeVision, or 1-2-3? What they have is they have a bunch of individual products that they put under an umbrella. WebSphere is an umbrella name. Workspace is an umbrella name.

Llyod and Rose Buck: Our Life With Birds @ Octagon Theatre
Octagon Theatre, Hendford, Yeovil, Somerset, BA20 1UX
07 Feb 2018 19:30 - 21:15 Wednesday
Tickets: £15.50 / Concessions: £13.50 / Family Saver: £52* *(2 Adults, 2 Children or 1 Adult, 3 Children)
Find out more information about Llyod and Rose Buck: Our Life With Birds
It's not often you see birds on stage in a theatre and even more rare to see one flying over the audience but 'Our Life with Birds' promises to give audiences a rare opportunity to meet Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, hawks, owls, starlings and many more - all raised and trained with the utmost loving care by bird handlers Lloyd and Rose Buck.
Over the last 25 years, Lloyd and his wife Rose have devoted their lives to taking care of birds and mastering the art of capturing them on film. They are, without a doubt, the world's experts at tracking birds and in-flight filming.
Between them Lloyd and Rose have been involved with over 100 different productions and feature films and have worked with every natural history television star including Sir David Attenborough, Steve Backshall, Bear Grylls, Michaela Strachan, Chris Packham, Kate Humble and many more.
They often appear on camera themselves and are frequent guests on BBC programmes such as 'The One Show', 'Springwatch' and 'Countryfile'. From Tilly the Golden Eagle to Poppy the pigeon, it's unusual to find Lloyd and Rose without one of their feathered family under their arms.
'The Bucks are remarkable people because when they do imprint, they form a bond they can't break and it means those swans are with them for life' - Sir David Attenborough
'Looking after our birds is not just our career and job, it is a lifestyle, as you have to be there for them seven days a week, but we love it' - Lloyd Buck
This show is illustrated with Lloyd and Rose's own film footage and photography and is suitable for all ages. It promises to be an interactive wildlife experience like no other!

VHA'S SPECTACULAR CLIENT CHOICE WINNERS!
VHA's Client Choice Award winners were honoured last week at the Toronto Staff and Service Provider Award Event. Their clients sent in glowing nominations of going the extra mile to provide spectacular service. We think you'll agree.


Those who have played WOT may remember the Rubicon patch and how poorly that was received for what it was going to try to do. Thankfully WG scrapped it before it got too far.
That is what Subs is. I know some of you wanted subs but many of us knew it would be a bad thing to do. Hell in both WOWS and WOT player complain about invisifire or attacked when you can't counter. a sub is the height of that since their whole purpose is to attack and leave unseen. Not to mention they are overall too slow and given what we have seen of the event can't be under for too long so can't escape after a hopefully good run. and again breaks the meta of the game. Also if they in their eyes couldn't get CVs right why in the world should we trust them with Subs?
Odd, wasn't this a thread already?
.....you do realize that thusfar it's only for Halloween right? It's not like the spaceship-ships or the bathtub boats are still around.
What is this Rubicon patch? It doesn't sound familiar so it must have been after I had quit.
Halloween is fisrt stage. if the feedback is great they will brign it into the game.
Yes, but maybe in a completely separate game mode for all we know.
Like I said, then where are the spaceship-ships and the bathtub boats? Those were popular.
can't remeber the full details but it was a strogn pay to win even more then the game already is.
I remember the patches being one ofthe major thigns players hated.
Nothing but a couple hiccups. They will get it straightened out.
At minimum half your player base deosn't want this.
*fingersnap* That's where I've seen this thread before!
It's their game and their right to bring in subs if they think it will expand potential content and keep the game going longer. I'm all for it if it is done thoughtfully.
So far it isn't much different.
Hell in both WOWS and WOT player complain about invisifire or attacked when you can't counter. a sub is the height of that since their whole purpose is to attack and leave unseen. Not to mention they are overall too slow and given what we have seen of the event can't be under for too long so can't escape after a hopefully good run. and again breaks the meta of the game. Also if they in their eyes couldn't get CVs right why in the world should we trust them with Subs?
This is the only quasi-constructive thing you've had to say about the actual topic and yet you're basically saying that submarines in-game aren't going to amount to a damn thing(I agree). Yet you then contradict yourself by saying it breaks the meta of the game. How? I view this as a nail in the coffin on the subject once it goes live and people realize how boring it is and how little damage potential you're going to have even if you spawned behind the reds your max speed is still akin to a battleship going half speed.
You are freaking out over NOTHING.
Which means they will probably lock this thread too.
The OP is so full of salt he had to try and make a new thread just like the one he made that was locked. Come on man. Calm down, take a breath, and maybe get some fresh air. Also the obligatory in before lock.
No I am not. I see alot that can go wrong with this. I was there for the 8.6 arty nerf and how that started destroying WOT because with out accruate arty TD's ruled since they could control choke points with their frontal armor.

Anyone else thats amazed and thrilled by the Leviathan Project?
I'm soooo gonna get it if possible.
Fantastic. How are you make anything? I find you first if I do it . How can I do?
HOW HAVEN'T I SEEN THIS BEFORE?!?!


I cannot find Red Bluff in any Mississippi travel guide including the old WPA guide which features many out-of-the-way places. To get there from Hattiesburg go twenty miles west to Columbia, cross to the west side of the Pearl River to Foxworth and go seven miles north to Morgantown. Red Bluff is just north of here. Most people think of South Mississippi as unending square miles of pine forest over a rolling or flat coastal plain. Red Bluff is a surprise. It overlooks the Pearl River and as you can see is several hundred feet in elevation.


OnePlus 6 VS Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S: Affordable smartphones with Snapdragon 845 chipset. Affordability is something most smartphone users always consider before making a choice. Nobody wants to spend his entire monthly salary on a smartphone. But most times, smartphone users worry if they could actually get good specs on these so-called affordable devices. Well, with the help of competition we are now seeing some good device with premium specs being sold for less than $700.
In this category of smartphones, we have the Huawei Honor 10, the OnePlus 6 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S. These three smartphones are leading the segment although they should be more out there. For this article, we would be looking into the OnePlus 6 and the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S. So in case you're looking for an affordable Chinese flagship, you need to read this article.
OnePlus really tried in making the OnePlus 6 with a premium design. They ditched the aluminum back found on the OnePlus 5T for an all-glass body design. While the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S features a sophisticated ceramic back and front glass. The ceramic back is just too pretty to ignore and gives the Mi Mix 2S an edge in design over the OnePlus 6. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is however heavy, which might be a turn-off to some users. The Mi Mix 2S weighs 191 grams and measures 150.9 x 74.9 x 8.1 mm in dimensions. While the OnePlus 6 is lighter, weighing just 177 grams and measures 155.7 x 75.4 x 7.8 mm.
On the back of the OnePlus 6 and Mi Mix 2S is a dual rear camera with a fingerprint sensor. The dual rear camera of the Mi Mix 2S is in a vertical position at the top left. While the one of the OnePlus 6 is also in a vertical position but at the top center. They are not water/dust resistance, which would have been cool if they were. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S comes in two simple Black and White body colors. While the OnePlus 6 has two different black variants called Midnight Black and Mirror Black. Then they also have the Silk White body color.
The OnePlus 6's Optic AMOLED touchscreen gives it the edge over the Mi Mix 2S that features an IPS LCD touchscreen. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S features a tri-bezel-less 18:9 aspect ratio display, with no top bezel whatsoever. The front camera of the Mi Mix 2S is at the bottom bezel, which is weird to me though. The OnePlus 6 features a 19:9 aspect ratio notch display.
The 5.99 inch Mi Mix 2S screen stretches up to 81.9% screen-to-body ratio. While the display has a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels with 403 PPI density. The Mi Mix 2S display is protected by Corning gorilla glass 4. While that of the OnePlus 6 is protected by Corning gorilla glass 5. The 6.28-inch screen of the OnePlus 6 stretches up to 83.8% screen-to-body. On the display, is a 1080 x 2280 pixels resolution with a PPI density.
OnePlus 6T VS Xiaomi Pocophone F1: Too Good For $300?
According to DxOMark, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is among the top 10 best camera smartphones right now. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is equipped with a primary 12MP f/1.8 aperture sensor combined with a secondary 12MP f/2.4 aperture sensor. While the front camera of the Mi Mix 2S features a 5MP f/2.0 sensor. The OnePlus 6 is equipped with a 16MP primary and 20MP secondary sensors and f/1.7 aperture on each sensor. While the front camera is equipped with a 16MP f/2.0 sensor. The 12MP primary sensor of the Mi Mix 2S and 16MP primary sensor of the OnePlus 6 features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). And they're capable of shooting 4K resolution videos.
The OnePlus 6 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. And Adreno 630 graphics processing unit for graphics. Both phones should be able to perform tasks faster and better. They both run on Android 8.0 Oreo with their own customization skin on top. The MiUI 9.5 skin runs on the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S while the Oxygen OS 5.1.1 skin runs on the OnePlus 6.
No microSD card slot for both phones, which is why they both offer an 8GB memory with 256GB internal storage. The 256GB internal storage will be ideal to save your 4K resolution videos. Aside from their bigger versions, the OnePlus 6 also has a version with 6GB memory and 64GB storage. While the Mi Mix 2S has a 6GB memory with 128GB or 64GB internal storage.
There isn't much difference in the battery capacity of the OnePlus 6 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S. The Mi Mix 2S packs a non-removable Li-lon 3400 mAh battery, which is slightly better than the non-removable Li-Po 3300 mAh battery found in the OnePlus 6. The fast battery charging version supported by the Mi Mix 2S is faster to that of the OnePlus 6. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S supports Qi wireless charging while the OnePlus 6 doesn't.
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S is sold for about $600 (N210,000) while the OnePlus 6 is sold for around $613 (N214,550). The similarities between these two smartphones is overwhelming. The major difference will be the custom user interface, design and screen technology. Tough one to choose but as a Xiaomi fan, I would go with the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S.

Abu Dhabi F1: Emirati teenager Amna does UAE proud
Ashwani Kumar/Abu Dhabi

Emotions ran high on the podium, when Amna was awarded the trophy.
The Emirati teenager clinched Race 1 of the F4UAE Trophy Round in Abu Dhabi - a first-of-its-kind achievement in the Middle East region. The UAE national anthem was played to honour an Emirati winner during the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit.
Starting on pole positon, the 19-year-old led from start to finish in her Abu Dhabi Racing car no. 88, sporting the UAE flag. Following her victory lap, Amna emerged from er car, pointed to the sky and then leapt to hug her parents. She was in tears as supporters congratulated her.
Emotions ran high on the podium, when Amna was awarded the trophy with the UAE national anthem played in the background. An Emirati had just announced her arrival on the biggest stage of all - Formula One Grand Prix.
"I am very proud to be the first Emirati and Arab driver on podium of Formula 4. I thank my family and all the supporters. I dedicate this win to my country and the leadership," Amna told reporters after her victory.
Amna made a strong start to the race for Abu Dhabi Racing. In the early laps she was engaged in wheel-to-wheel battle with Xcel Motorsport's Nicola Marinangeli. Third-placed Alex Connor breathing down the neck of Marinangeli helped Amna pull forward. And there was no let up as Amna dominated the 25-minute race throughout the end.
Meanwhile, her sister Hamda, who started on fourth spot, slipped a place by the end. She was in midst of an intriguing fight for the third spot with Connor and Tijmen van der Helm. The 17-year-old kept hunting for an opportunity to pass Connor and Helm, both of whom always closed the gap. But Hamda lost her focus and was later passed by Jordan's debutant Manan Hajjawi, who finished fourth. Helm suffered a suspension failure and Connor finished third behind Marinangeli.
Khaled, father of Al Qubaisi sisters and the UAE's first motorsport star, was jubilant.
"I'm extremely proud of my daughters. They made the whole UAE proud. And that's all what we wanted - to raise the UAE flag up high in this extremely important event held in our beloved country. This is crowning of all the efforts that went into getting them to this point. Thanks to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, for supporting motorsports and young talent."
Now both the sisters will be in action one more time on Sunday for the second race of F4 UAE.

Bedouine - One of These Days
Bedouine, a gallicized riff on bedouin, the nomad, the wanderer. Anyone can assume such a name, but Azniv Korkejian has an experience of what it means, the type of ground it covers. "Moving around so much caused me at some point to feel displaced, to not really belong anywhere and I thought that was a good title." Her development was shaped by political landscapes and family opportunities, her adult life patterned by paths of her own. Born in Aleppo, Syria to Armenian parents, Korkejian spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia, moving to America when her family won a Green Card lottery. They settled in Boston, then Houston, but she split for L.A. as soon as she could. A casual offer to stay on a horse farm took her to the rolling hills of Lexington, Kentucky, followed by a year in Austin, and a trip east to Savannah for a degree in sound design. Returning to L.A., she discovered a close-knit community of musicians in Echo Park that started to feel like home. Maybe America is just a highway that leads back to L.A.
Korkejian works with sound professionally, in dialogue editing and music editing, a slice of Hollywood's sprawling industry. She never set out to be a singer in L.A., taking a

Tracy Anderson Is Not Allowed to Transform Lena Dunham's Body…Yet
Tracie Egan Morrissey
Celebrity trainer and "crazy" lady Tracy Anderson is threatening to give Lena Dunham and her Girls character Hannah Horvath her signature "teeny tiny" makeover—if only she had permission. "I send trainers to the set," she said. "But I will tell you that [Lena]'s not allowed to transform her body right now."
Celebrity Trainer Tracy Anderson Insists Gwyneth Paltrow Was Totally Flabby When They Met
Celebrity fitness guru Tracy Anderson believes that she is a genius who has singularly…
Speaking to The Cut at a New York Fashion Week event, Anderson gushed about how Girls is her favorite TV show (it's the only one she watches) and how she'd love to get her suspended dance bands around Dunham, but show runner Jenni Konner won't let her. "[Konner] is a diehard client of mine and a dear friend, so we joke, and she says, 'You can't transform her yet."
Then she went off into a weirdo ramble about how much she loves seeing "diverse" bodies on TV (that she doesn't watch).
One of the things I can't stand the most is all the fashion magazines where all the women look exactly the same. I train everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Gwyneth Paltrow, you know, and I'm a totally different body type. I think there needs to be more emphasis in art and entertainment and fashion on all different body shapes.
As long as they aren't fat, obvs.

She looks like Janice right? Not snarky, she's a pretty lady, but there is definitely a Janice vibe going on.


After so many adventures and several years traveling around the world there is a good lesson we have learned, never travel without a good travel insurance and IATI is the best option we know.
Travelling on the road, safety should be a priority. One of the worst things that can happen is an engine or electrical fire. An automatic fire suppression system from BlazeCut is our first line of fire defence and keeps us safer on our road adventure.

Everything related to the exterior of the van was in the hands of SERVICE MILOSHESKI, from painting to elements such as bumpers and protections, ladder, roof racks and bicycle racks.
TEHNOKOOP with more than 30 years of experience in the furniture sector was in charge of the interior of our van. The isolation of the cabin and the furniture was in his hands.
We are outdoors lovers so we spend more hours under the sun than at home, and to be able to continue enjoying what we see there is not a single day that we go out without our sunglasses. IZIPIZI offers us the best protection for our eyes … and of course a bit of style too.
Whether you are traveling the world or immersed in the intense life of the city we will always have to worry about having a good diet. Juicy Retreats is, without a doubt, the best option to have a fast load of vitamins.

We do not want to run out of energy while we travel to the most remote regions of the planet, which is why we feed our van with the most reliable batteries. With DURACELL light will be always on. out.
POWERFLEX is synonymous with off-road among 4×4 lovers. The British brand will reinforce the suspension of our van to allow us to reach the most remote routes without problems.
A classic van like ours is completely mechanical, no matter how far we are because there is no damage that can not be fixed with good tools, so with BERNER for sure the trip does not stop.
It will no longer matter if we run out of gas in the middle of the route. With the SOLOSTOVE we will only need a few branches of no more than 15 cm to cook our food on trips.
Trekking is fundamental in our trips. Many times we spend several days lost in the middle of nowhere and in the GEIGERRIG backpacks we will be able to carry everything we need.
We all know how important it is to stay hydrated on expeditions through the desert or the jungle. AQUAMIRA filters will allow us to treat water and be free of bacterias.
CBD from Cannaliz has been recognized for its calming and channeling effects. This molecule provides many applications in the field of well-being for people that are: stressed, anxious, dispersed, agitated, and much more.
Electrical system, alarm, multimedia, interior and exterior LED lighting and polarization of the moons was the great contribution of DOG SECURITY to the van. Security and comfort anywhere.
Transforming an old van into our house, office, workshop and theater and traveling with it around the world needed of a great ergonomic design. CONTEMPO accepted the challenge.
One of the improvements of our next project would be the way sharing our experiences. We needed a new website and for that mission nobody better than DESCUBRE COMUNICACION.
