There were lots of things I learned when I first started dating Eric (and continue to learn). Three of those things being about sweet tea, Georgia, and peaches. I mean I did know about all these things before I started dating Eric but I quickly learned a great deal more. Since Eric and his family are from Georgia I am constantly told things like Texas is not 'the true south', despite what I think! "Everywhere you go in 'the south' you can get sweet tea," Eric says. And sure enough, I realized not long after dating him that his favorite drink is hard to find here (unless you are at McDonald's or a BBQ joint).
I also learned that people from Georgia have lots of pride in their state. I mean I am from Texas and Texas pride is HUGE, larger than the actual state to be matter of fact! I mean the shape of Texas, and the Texas flag, and Texas 'symbols' such as the bluebonnet and longhorn, are found everywhere. From T-shirts, to cookie cutters, to purses, to being tattooed on people's bodies. Texas tattoos… now that's some pride! Now Eric, his family, and his Georgia friends have lots of pride too (heck, Eric's brother has an outline of the state of Georgia with a big peach in the middle that says 'on my mind' as a tattoo as part of his sleeve) but I have never seen any group of people worship anyone, anything or any place, like Georgians worship the peach! Peach worshiping… now that's pride!
Well being the good girlfriend that I am I decided to make Eric a refreshing summertime drink that brought his favorite things together… sweet tea and peaches… to remind him of a favorite place… Georgia. Problem is I am not a tea drinker. I grew up around it, since I have family who drinks it, but I am not that familiar with it (at least I wasn't before meeting Eric). So, after watching Eric make sweet many a time, I thought I could 'wing it' and figure out how to make peach sweet tea. My version and method is probably totally wrong but a couple of Georgia boys said it was 'damn good'. And Eric is pretty proud that I am finally becoming a 'true' Southerner.
PS. I think that I might be slightly jealous that Georgians have a fruit to worship. I love fruit too! With all the Texas pride where is our fruit worshiping?
In a 1 gallon pitcher add the 3 quarts of hot water. Add the tea bags to the water and begin to soak.
Peel and slice the peaches. Place peaches in a food processor and blend until smooth.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the 1 cup of water and sugar to a boil. Let boil for 2 minutes. Add the pureed peaches to the sugar mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour peach/sugar mixture through a mesh strainer into pitcher with tea bags and water.
Let tea bags sit and brew with peach mixture for 15-20 more minutes. Remove tea bags. Strain fully prepared tea into a new 1 gallon pitcher. Serve over ice. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

Volunteer fighters arrive in Ukraine. But the untrained should stay home
By Howard Altman and Philip Athey

Several hundred volunteers willing to fight Russians alongside Ukrainian forces already have arrived in that embattled nation, according to a government official there.
A defense official at the Ukrainian embassy in Washington, D.C., told Military Times that they have already received more than 3,000 applications for U.S. citizens wanting to fight. That figure, he said, includes many military veterans. He could not say how many.
Ukrainian officials spoke to Military Times on the condition of anonymity to discuss the plans.
On Sunday, Military Times reported that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy created "The International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine."
Want to go fight for Ukraine? Here's what to do.
Here are the six steps you need to take if you want to help Ukraine fight.
By Howard Altman
It is a new effort, the Ukrainian official told Military Times, to help bolster the fight.
The Russian advance on Kyiv is stalled at the moment, a senior U.S. defense official told reporters Thursday morning, in part because of a stiff Ukrainian resistance. Military Times also reported that Ukrainian aircraft and other assets have struck a 40-mile long convoy about 25 kilometers north of Kyiv.
Ukraine jets hit Russian column; Russia has used thermobarics, Ukraine military says
Startling new claims in Russia's war on Ukraine by the head of Ukraine's defense intelligence agency.
A number of veterans have reached out to Military Times, either saying they are planning to travel to Ukraine to fight or want to. Ukraine's embassy in Washington, D.C., did not immediately respond to questions about how many U.S. veterans had signed up.
The call for volunteers has been met with enthusiasm on several online forums like Reddit and Discord.
One Reddit page for those volunteering to fight for Ukraine has more than 32,000 members according to the site.
While the forums do have people claiming to be combat veterans, many seem to be young people who have never seen combat or even picked up a gun, heading to Ukraine in search of adventure in the name of a good cause.
A former SEAL turned CIA officer who writes under the name Frumentarius offers his own advice about going.
Notify the U.S. State Department first, he urges. And he offers a note of caution to those who want to fight.
"You aren't Rambo," he writes in SANDBOXX.
"If you are determined to go, be professional, responsible, and realistic in your expectations," Frumentarius writes. "Follow the Ukrainian government's advice about how to officially register, and do not go there telling them where and how you want to participate in the fighting.
"They will place you in whatever capacity they need you, and wherever they need you most. You are not Rambo, there to single-handedly slay Russians and post your selfies. You will be part of a military machine that is under extreme stress, and you need to seamlessly integrate into that system to be an effective part of it."
No volunteers will be allowed to bring their own weapons, said the Ukrainian official. Those who fight will be issued at least rifles, he added. He would not comment on whether they will be issued other types of weapons.
Ukraine officials stress to Military Times that they are looking for foreign volunteers with combat experience who require little training before being armed and sent to the front line.
The instructions for joining the legion require "documents confirming military service or work with law enforcement agencies and participation in combat."
"We are asking for trained people to come," said the official in Ukraine. "We don't have time for training."
The defense official in Washington said there are opportunities for help beyond combat.
"We do not want to send people who are not trained, but at the same time, people can provide medical help. Or some can analyze mass media if they do not wish to fight."
The defense official, however, stressed all these efforts are voluntary.
"We are not hiring anyone," he said.

Frequently Asked Questions About Maryland Child Support
How is Maryland Child Support calculated?
Maryland uses an "income shares" model to calculate child support, which is referred to as the Maryland Child Support Guidelines. The income shares model is based on the concept that the child should receive the same proportion of parental income that the child would have received in an intact family. Child support is based on the monthly gross income of each party (before taxes). The guidelines take into account both parents' income, how many minor children are in the family, the cost of health insurance for the children, the access schedule for each parent, and the costs of child care and extraordinary medical expenses.
What is considered "income" for purposes of computing child support?
For purposes of calculating child support, "income" means income from any source, which can include any of the following:
Salaries;
Wages;
Commissions;
Bonuses;
Dividend income;
Pension income;
Interest income;
Trust income;
Annuity income;
Social Security benefits;
Workers' compensation benefits;
Unemployment insurance benefits;
Disability insurance benefits; and
Alimony or maintenance received
What if my child's other parent stops working to avoid paying child support?
When one parent voluntarily quits their job to avoid paying child support, the court can consider that parent to be "voluntarily impoverished." If it this is proven, the court will still treat that parent as if they are earning income and will "impute" income to them for purposes of calculating child support.
Will my overnights impact my child support?
If one parent has primary physical custody of the minor children, and the other parent has less than 35{dbcbe4256a02fd6539f003ef4f1e47a821c300172b5208c41db5ae5fdc56f79e} of overnights during the year (128 overnights or fewer) then the primary physical custody guidelines worksheet will be used to calculate child support. If the parties have a shared physical custody schedule, so that both parents have at least 35{dbcbe4256a02fd6539f003ef4f1e47a821c300172b5208c41db5ae5fdc56f79e} of overnights during the year, then it is appropriate to use the shared physical custody guidelines worksheet.
Is there any other way child support can be calculated?
If the combined income between the parents is less than $180,000 per year, or $15,000 per month, then the Maryland Child Support Guidelines will be used to calculate child support. However, if the combined income between the parties exceeds $180,000 per year, then the court will have discretion in establishing the child support amount.
How long does child support last in Maryland?
Under Maryland law, child support is to be paid until the minor child reaches the age of 18. If the child turns 18 during his senior year of high school, child support must be paid until the child turns 18 or graduates, whichever first occurs.
Can child support be modified in Maryland?
Child support is always modifiable in Maryland, meaning that the amount can increase or decrease. However, the party seeking to modify has the burden of establishing that there has been a material change in circumstance that warrants modification of the child support. This can mean that a parent has lost a job; a parent is making less money; a parent is making more money; or other changes in circumstances.

A teen from New York attempts to break his own Rubik's cube record using his feet this time. Daniel Rose-Levine, 16, set the current record in March 2018 when he used his feet to solve a Rubik's cube in 16.96 seconds.
"I started going to competitions for my hands," Rose-Levine told WABC-TV. "But there's 18 different events that they have in these competitions and one of them is feet, so I decided to start practicing feet just for the competitions and eventually I got pretty good at it."

Q: TypeError byte indices must be integers or slices, not str Question in regards to a TypeError which I am receiving for my code.
The Beginning of the Code:
domain = "https://bdgastore.com"
handle = 'xt-4-advanced-8'
url = domain + "/products/" + handle + ".json"

##
# Product information
##
shoeSize = "11"
quantity = "1"

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--incognito")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
options.add_argument("--headless") # Comment that line to see script running in Chrome.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
data = response.read()

#information
first_name='Name';
family_name='Last Name';
email='youremail@gmail.com';
address='12345 Some Street';
country='AU';
city='Mermaid Beach';
postcode='4218';
state='QLD';
mobile='0421667754';
CCNumber="1"
CCName="Test"
CCExpiry="11/25"
CCVerification="123"

#Checkout process
checkoutDetails = 'checkout[shipping_address][first_name]='+ first_name +'&checkout[shipping_address][last_name]='+ family_name +'&checkout[email]='+ email +'&checkout[shipping_address][address1]='+ address +'&checkout[shipping_address][city]='+ city +'&checkout[shipping_address][zip]='+ postcode +'&checkout[shipping_address][country_code]='+ country +'&&checkout[shipping_address][province_code]='+ state +'&checkout[shipping_address][phone]='+ mobile;

The code is the following:
for variants in data['product']['variants']:
if ((variants['inventory_quantity'] > 0) and (variants['title'] == shoeSize)):
    link = domain + '/cart/'+ str(variants['id']) +':'+ quantity +'?'+ checkoutDetails;
    driver.get(link)

While else the error which I am receiving is
TypeError: byte indices must be integers or slices, not str

Thank you so much in advance and sorry, I'm still new to this.

A: This is the example given in the document, you can see that read returns data of type byte.
As you can see from the code you provided, you are probably expecting it to be of type dict, then you can parse it through the json.loads method.
import json

print(json.loads(b'{"a": 1}'))
# {'a': 1}

Modify the code
import json
...

for variants in json.loads(data)['product']['variants']:
if ((variants['inventory_quantity'] > 0) and (variants['title'] == shoeSize)):
    link = domain + '/cart/'+ str(variants['id']) +':'+ quantity +'?'+ checkoutDetails;
    driver.get(link)

A: variants['title'] # <-- this should be an index

Something like:
variants[1]

A: You need to decode the response before using it. Try:
data = response.read().decode(response.headers.get_content_charset())

Q: TypeError: __dict__ must be set to a dictionary, not a 'unicode' I cloned a library from git and I just managed to use the savePlayerDictionary method.
I stored the json file and everything looks fine.
BUT
When I try to use the loadPlayerDictionary, I get the error:
TypeError: __dict__ must be set to a dictionary, not a 'unicode'

My code:
def savePlayerDictionary(playerDictionary, pathToFile):
    """
    Saves player dictionary to a JSON file
    """
    player_json = {name: player_data.to_json() for name, player_data in playerDictionary.items()}
    json.dump(player_json, open(pathToFile, 'wb'), indent=0)

def loadPlayerDictionary(pathToFile):
    """
    Loads previously saved player dictionary from a JSON file
    """
    result = {}
    with open(pathToFile, "r") as f:
        json_dict = json.load(f)
        for player_name in json_dict:
            parsed_player = Player(None,None,False)
            parsed_player.__dict__ = json_dict[player_name]
            result[player_name] = parsed_player
    return result

where player_data.to_json() is implemented as:
def to_json(self):
    return json.dumps(self.__dict__)

The code I run is:
get_ipython().magic(u'matplotlib inline')
import basketballCrawler as bc
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

players = bc.loadPlayerDictionary("myJson.json")

A: You are encoding your player data to JSON, then encoding the whole dictionary mapping names to that JSON data to JSON again, resulting in double-encoded JSON data for the values of that mapping.
When you decode, you only decoded the name-data mapping, not the data for each player. You'd need to decode that separately:
parsed_player = Player(None,None,False)
parsed_player.__dict__ = json.loads(json_dict[player_name])

It'd be easier if you just not encoded in to_json():
def to_json(self):
    return vars(self)

(I used the vars() function as a cleaner function to get the same dictionary).
If all you are doing is persisting your player data, then consider using the pickle module instead; it is faster and more versatile, no need to have a separate song and dance with __dict__ attributes. There is a wrapper module called shelve that builds on pickle to create a persisted dictionary for objects even.


Easy however clever words. I just fired my interior decorator. It was for complete house adorning for a brand new build. Objects received thus far are literally wonderful but mark up from bill was method too high and area planning was off. Way an excessive amount of furniture was bought. I feel this has to do with the more you buy the extra they make. I paid a flat fee to embellish whole home because the hourly fee apprehensive me. Nevertheless all objects purchased had been made exterior AZ and shipped. I used to be charged 30% over price of every item plus AZ gross sales tax plus 10% over delivery AND freight fees. This rapidly blew my price range out of the water. Careful with their fees as they will get out of hand shortly. Now searching for a less expensive choice to complete undertaking.

Created just this year, JEDLAB has "gone viral" as the forum for dynamic and creative new thinking in Jewish education. Its creators here envision applying JEDLAB principles in the classroom.
JEDLAB started at the 2013 North American Jewish Day School Conference, in Washington, DC. It was 5 am, and we were both awake, tweeting furiously. We decided to go offline. Sitting in the hotel lobby we asked: How could we bring networked learning to the field of Jewish education? How could we integrate the relationships and conversations thriving within social media—such as #jedchat and #jed21 on Twitter, and elsewhere on Facebook, Google Groups and Nings—into the offline spaces, like NAJDSC and our organizations and schools?
About a month later, we read The Sorcerers and Their Apprentices, Frank Moss's great book about the MIT Media Lab. The volume suggested a way—100 ways—to rethink the paradigm of Jewish education. Soon the most inventive and adventurous Jewish educators in our personal learning network read Sorcerers and loved it. They talked about it on Twitter. They orchestrated an off-hours webinar. They formed a Facebook group. It came to be known as JEDLAB. This diverse and open network was designed to serve all settings and stakeholders of Jewish education. Its founders and facilitators aimed to foster connections, conversations and collaborations that would result in greater inquiry, experimentation and transformation for the Jewish education we need for the next quarter century, and not just the next five years.
JEDLAB is now one of the few places in Jewish educational life where people can voice their own authentic opinions, without fear and with real support. On JEDLAB, teachers, administrators, parents, academics, development professionals, board members, even students speak not as representatives of this or that school or institution but as individuals trying to articulate their own visions and to improve themselves and their communities. It is a welcoming place where people say "bruchim haba'im" to newcomers, and where dissent and machloket (intellectual dispute) is always (well, almost always) conducted with real respect. Our online conversational threads, which can reach almost 50 a week, can run to 20, 30, even 100 comments. Why? Because JEDLAB encourages self-expression and honest dialogue, an extremely rare situation in the contemporary Jewish ed scene.
JEDLAB is a network, a community, a Jewish-ed minyan, a society. It's a debating society, an incubator, a 24/6 professional development party. It's people throwing spaghetti against the wall. Joyful chaos. A family. JEDLAB is what its members think it is, and this can change at any moment. It's also an online forum. But, unlike most online forums, JEDLAB—which, right now, most consistently manifests itself as a Facebook group—is unsatisfied with merely being a highly engaged online community.
Question is: Can this approach be transposed into Jewish classrooms? We believe that a teacher who treats her students with respect and attention has the ability to create such a community, ready to engage the world as a network of relationships. This model emboldens students to challenge the assumptions that dictate small ideas, and take the risks that reward big ideas.
Creative freedom: The ability to think creatively and freely about issues and problems in the world and to come up with innovative solutions because we're not bound by preconceived notions.
Anti-disciplinary work: Experts across disciplines gathering in same space, working outside their comfort zones and not being bound by defined roles. Anyone can have a vision and should have her opinion considered.
Hard fun: "Taking the hands-on approach to learning and building that comes naturally to curious children at play" (Seymour Papert). This is the "demo or die" ethic of the Media Lab.
Serendipity by design: We know "the chance to drink from the fire hose of imaginative ideas and inventions" (Frank Moss) leads to opportunities for serendipity. Freedom, openness and cross-disciplinary teams and collaborations create or design the happenstance to occur much more frequently.
A focus on demonstration and iteration: All ideas should face iterative prototyping—that is, a system in which one demonstrates a prototype, receives feedback, incorporates feedback, and then demonstrates the improved prototype. It's less about manufacturing success, and more so they can fail fast and fail forward. Failure is just a weigh station on the way to success.
Emphasizing both the sharing and inquiry of earlier networks, JEDLAB heightens the opportunities for design thinking, collaboration and experimentation. We hope to broaden and deepen the impact of a flattened network on the field as a whole.
Students will respond positively to a JEDLAB-style learning environment. As digital natives, they are familiar with network learning in online platforms. By consciously adopting the JEDLAB model, you can provide them with a framework for a mature and nuanced approach to online engagement that will transform ordinary learning into a holistically awesome experience.
The JEDLAB ethos has already been manifested in a number of different real-world activities that capture the essence of network learning in classrooms. Some might be useful, or at least inspirational, models for your classroom situation.
1. Tikvah Wiener, the founder of the groundbreaking RealSchool initiative at the Frisch School, created with her students a Twitter English final. The kids chose to do a final on Twitter because they wanted something dynamic and interactive, something they could all contribute to. One student shared that she said she understood why they were engaging in their social media experiment: "We're creating our final together," she said, as a means of culminating a year of project-based learning and making-as-learning.
3. For a 12th grade course on Jewish thought at the Milken Community High School in Los Angeles, Yechiel used self-contained online platforms to create a community of 60 students from three separate class sections. Students used the space to share ideas with a broader network about their coursework and class conversations. This also opened up new streams of sharing and thinking based on their own self-directed learning. Students exhibited their work and shared outside learning opportunities, such as concerts, lectures and movie releases, and engaged in deep and meaningful dialogue about the critical issues facing their lives.
One of the reasons JEDLAB has succeeded: the co-founders understand that a strong network needs people who can regularly fulfill specific functions. The network cannot and will not succeed if one person tries to oversee the entire network by herself. It takes a team, a talented and dedicated team, to make it work, by creating a space for the network's members to self-regulate and foster ownership, through the example set by JEDLAB's facilitators.
The guardian maintains a constant watch over the network and reflects upon the network's needs.
The connector organizes various system elements (communications, training, support, resources, etc.) to support the network's members.
The conversationalist works to promote healthy, open, and respectful interaction and inquiry among group participants.
You may want to use social media as a way for your class to communicate with you and each other. Don't. Instead, seek first to build strong relationships with your students, to build a community of respect and learning, and then make sure that these values extend to your student's social interactions. JEDLAB has been successful in doing this, and you might apply some of our lessons to your in-class community.
1. Get your students to tell their stories. In JEDLAB, we created a group-edited Facebook document in which members take the time to share their Jewish journeys. We then take these narratives, excerpt them, pair them with images found online, and created a Pinterest pinboard. Do the same for your class. When your kids can see and hear who they are (and don't forget to add your own story), they can feel confident enough to learn together. You could have kids experiment with video, artistic, poetry or even musical autobiography. The point: get them to tell and share their stories.
2. Don't just post articles. Post articles and then ask questions. If you're going to throw content into your class's social media stream, make sure you contextualize it and get your students to think about it. And don't just let people get away with lazy answers in the comments section. Your whole class has an investment in keeping the conversation lively. Encourage everyone to take an active role in prodding the conversation, in the comments section, to the most thoughtful place possible.
3. Be a model—and get your students to do the same. In JEDLAB we model behavior very carefully. We try to avoid bragging, promoting ourselves, avoid making fun of other people. Before we post, we aim to ask ourselves, "How will this post or comment help the group?" This reflexiveness and intentionality seems a valuable skill to teach students, one they can employ in many places at various points in their lives.
4. Make matches. As intellectual leader of your class, you're in a unique position to help bring together the heterogeneous learners in your charge. You know which kids have a secret passion for a certain band, or a kind of poetry, or a particular sports team or video game or whatever. You know who the libertarians are and the quiet animal activists. You know which ones believe that Gastby is a fool—and which ones think he's a hero—or that Gershom Scholem is the greatest writer of the 20th century (or vastly overrated). Bring these folks together in conversation and classroom projects. Using social media, you can make it happen in a semi-public way.
Treat your class as a community that expects excellence from every member, that demands students take responsibility for the learning and bring their critical and passionate selves to the adventure of education, and you're already creating a JEDLAB experience. The idea is that you learn together, on- and offline, and that you as a teacher are chiefly the senior learning partner, someone who can steer your self-directed students, when necessary.
This method needs an educator who understands the role of teacher as a facilitator and host of a network space. The educator is not the center of the learning experience but the catalyst for each student's encounter with the other and their shared knowledge. Such a person creates a culture in which students feel as free to dream as they are to express doubt, and as willing to fail as they are to succeed.
Why should #JEDLAB matter to you (in 140 characters or less)?
JEDLAB is driven by inquiry, passion, and the spirit of community.
Leadership roles are available to anyone who wants to share.
JEDLAB happens on Facebook, in a hallway, on the phone, via Google+ Hangout, at a conference, over coffee, and/or a walk in the park.
The individuals in JEDLAB embrace a belief in representative democracy, open debate, and authentic self-expression.
With Herzl, it recognizes the importance of the dream AND the will. It's the realization that we help must help each other will our dreams.

We have been living through a golden age of cosmological research with the boundaries of knowledge being ever expanded. Should we expect this era to end? Professor Michael Rowan-Robinson believes that we might be at the fiscal and intellectual limits of possible discovery, but Lord Rees of Ludlow has a different take.
Professor Michael Rowan-Robinson
Professor Michael Rowan-Robinson is a British Astronomer who works on infrared Astronomy and Cosmology. He is an Emeritus Gresham Professor of Astronomy.
From 1993 to 2007, Professor Rowan-Robinson was Head of the Astrophysics Group at Imperial College London. From 2007-2012 he taught at the Blackett Lab at Imperial College. He has served as President of the Royal Astronomical Society 2006-2008.
Professor Lord Rees of Ludlow FRS
Lord Rees has been the Astronomer Royal since 1995 and was the President of the Royal Society between 2005 and 2010. Between 1975 and 1976, Lord Rees was the Gresham Professor of Astronomy.
Lord Rees read Maths at Trinity College, Cambridge and has taught at, amongst others, Sussex University, Imperial College London, the University of Leicester, Harvard and the University of Cambridge. Since 2005 he has sat in the House of Lords as a cross-bencher and became Baron Rees later that year.
Lord Rees' current research deals with cosmology and astrophysics, especially gamma ray bursts, galactic nuclei, black hole formation and radiative processes (including gravitational waves) and also cosmic structure formation, especially the early generation of stars and galaxies that formed at the end of the cosmic dark ages' more than 12 billion years ago relatively shortly after the "Big Bang". He has authored or co-authored about five hundred research papers. He has lectured, broadcast and written widely on science and policy, and is the author of seven books for a general readership.

Q: Get return value for template lambda parameter, how to simplify code? This is my trick:
template<typename F, typename TArg>
auto get_return_value(F * f = NULL, TArg * arg = NULL)
     -> decltype((*f)(*arg));

Example of using:
template<typename F, typename T>
decltype(get_return_value<F,T>()) applyFtoT(F f, T t)
{
    return f(t);
}

In case F is lambda:
int b = applyFtoT([](int a){return a*2}, 10);
// b == 20

Function get_return_value looks ugly i think... How to simplify it?

A: It seems like you could eliminate the need for get_return_value by changing the declaration of applyFtoT like so:
template<typename F, typename T>
auto applyFtoT(F f, T t) -> decltype(f(t))
{
   return f(t);
}


Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Veggie"
What does "How do you like your veggies?" mean?
Please show me example sentences with veggie .
veggie refers to food with vegetables but no meat. it's short for vegetarian. example: veggie burger is a hamburger with no meat! veggie pizza doesn't have meat and does have vegetables.
What is the difference between veggie and vegan ?
What is the difference between veg and veggie ?
They are both the same thing. Veg is an abbreviated version of vegatable. Veggie is also an abbreviation but can also be used as a replacement for it.
I had a Nabe for dinner and damn what a great dinner it was. The veggies were tender and it tasted really really good.
Hot pot. We would probably use different ingredients in ours, though. Some people (if they know what it is) might still just call it nabe if it's full of Japanese ingredients.
How do you say this in English (UK)? How do you say a kind of veggies that look like a small tree?
"It seems to rain." I thought, while seeing the heavy sky when I woke up. It turned out that I wa... does this sound natural?
The last sentence can be said as" I bought the veggies i needed and went back home drenched" Drenched means wet..
First, chicken soup can soothe a sore throat. According to the study, The salt in the soup and its warmth relieve a sore throat. Second, veggies in this soup provide your body with many kind of nutritions... does this sound natural?
Wow, this is really good and very fluid! Succint information - this is amazing!
You must have some veggie cooking that you like. (When someone says he doesn't like veggies) does this sound natural?
I would say "veggie meals" or "meals with vegetables". In my opinion, it is a bit weird/childlike to say "veggies" sometimes.
- Do you like veggies? - Yeah. I like all. or - Yeah. I like all of them.
- Do you like veggies? - Yeah. I like all. or - Yeah. I like all of them. How should I answer?
She makes the best steamed veggies or She does the best steamed veggies.

Time for another edition of Favourite Spaces today, and this time it's the LA home of famed fashion photographer Mario Testino. This Vogue editorial was only published in February of this year, but it still ranks as one of my all-time favourite from the magazine (and not just because it features the breathtakingly otherworldly Natalia Vodianova).
Clearly, you can see why I love this space so. The Vogue article calls Testino's mix of Peruvian, American and European styles "giddy eclecticism", but I prefer to think of this space as controlled maximalism. I mean, look at that top photo again and check out all that stuff!
Testino hails from Peru, where his early design influences ranged from Inca minimalism (is this a Thing? I guess so) to Spanish baroque. Both are visible in this hedonistic mix of furniture, textiles and art, and they're joined by French elegance and 70′s Americana, for good measure.
The star of this home is clearly Testino's art collection (making him a man after my own heart)– you can see that every wall is full to bursting. It manages to maintain the spotlight because everything else, over-the-top as it might look, is strictly controlled by colour and scale. In the living room, almost everything is done in neutrals (blacks, whites, greys and browns), with a few considered pops of rust and blue. There's also textures and patterns a-plenty, which in this large space and those basic colours, never overwhelm.
The great thing about this layered home is that the longer you look at the photos, the more beautiful things you discover. So I'll stop gushing now, and let you get on with it!

Many artworks are on public display for the very first time since they arrived at the Galleries. They include:
The first work by the highly sought-after artist Marc Chagall to enter Scotland's national collection. L'Écuyère [The Horse Rider] (1949 – 1953) is a stunning example of Chagall's fixation with depicting female circus horse-riders.
Bows (about 1910), a painting by Frances Macdonald MacNair, a member of the celebrated 'Glasgow Four', which explores the theme of female sexuality in her distinctive Spook School style.
Wangechi Mutu's Histology of Different Classes of Uterine Tumors (2004 - 2005), a series of twelve politically resonant collages which challenge the cultural objectification of women of colour. These were purchased with help from the Heinz Fund and Art Fund.

Home disk Harddisk Linux Why is the first partition on a device called 1 and not 0?
ex /dev/sda1 on my computer. shouldn't it be /dev/sda0? or is /dev/sda0 implied as the disk itself?
/dev/sda0 would be the full drive, and 1-4 would be primary partitions. As to why they don't use /dev/sda0 instead of /dev/sda, probably because the number indicates a partition, and not a full device.

John Witherspoon Bald (born April 7, 1868, Parsonstown, Ireland - died 1961, Midland, Ontario, Canada) was a Canadian photographer who produced portraits, landscape and other commercial photographs. He recorded life in his community from 1890 until 1953 when he retired. Bald worked for both Midland newspapers, the Free Press and the Argus, and also developed an extensive post card business.

Bald first began his photographic business in Penetanguishene, Ontario. In 1896 he purchased a studio in Midland on King Street. His photographic career began shortly after the introduction of gelatine dry plate photography. This type of plate was commercially prepared and could be stored prior to exposure. This was a major improvement over the earlier collodion wet plates, improving the process and freeing photographers to take photographs practically anywhere.

Bald's work is a complete record of the life, work, and play of small town Ontario. Business, ships, harbour life, industries, social life, hunting, tourism, sports, and portraits are all subjects found in his work.

The Huronia Museum in Midland has an extensive collection of Bald's photographs, postcards, and equipment.

1 What is Cystic Fibrosis?
3 How common is Cystic Fibrosis?
4 Who is affected with Cystic Fibrosis?
In people with Cystic fibrosis, a defective gene causes a thick, buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas and other organs. In the lungs, the mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria leading to infections, extensive lung damage and eventually, respiratory failure. In the pancreas, the mucus prevents the release of digestive enzymes that allow the body to break down food and absorb vital nutrients.
Although cystic fibrosis requires daily care, people with the condition are able to attend school and work, and have a better quality of life than in previous decades. Improvements in screening and treatments mean most people with cystic fibrosis now live into their 20s and 30s, and some are living into their 40s and 50s.
Who is affected with Cystic Fibrosis?
It is estimated that one in every 2,500 babies born in the UK will be born with cystic fibrosis and there are more than 9,000 people living with the condition in this country.
Cystic fibrosis is one of the conditions babies are screened for with the newborn blood spot test.
A small amount of the baby's blood is taken by a heel prick and transferred onto a card. The blood sample on the card is then analysed in the laboratory for cystic fibrosis and eight other conditions, including sickle cell anaemia.
The type and severity of CF symptoms can differ widely from person to person. Therefore, there is not a typical treatment plan.

Council Receives Feasibility Study on Convention Center Hotel and City-Owned Properties Surrounding the American Bank Center
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - At today's regularly scheduled City Council meeting, Rob Hunden, President of Hunden Strategic Partners (HSP), presented to Mayor Paulette Guajardo and the City Council findings from a feasibility study HSP conducted for a convention center hotel and renovation and expansion of the American Bank Center (ABC).
The study examined the need for a mixed-use entertainment district on City-owned land surrounding the ABC to make Corpus Christi a competitive destination for conventions and events.
The report demonstrated that meeting and event planners support the renovation and expansion of the American Bank Center, including the addition of a 40,000-square-foot grand ballroom for an estimated investment of $193 million and the development of a connected Convention Center hotel. In addition, the study recommends the development of a mixed-use district immediately adjacent to the ABC, with restaurants, shops, public event space, residential units, and office space.
The HSP study also projects that the Economic Impact over the 30 years will have new local spending from the combined projects is more than $13.9 billion, with over 3,000 permanent full-time jobs in the city and more than $566 million in new local tax revenue.
"The presentation from HSP allows us to reimagine a part of Corpus Christi that is critical to our economy, community, and our tourists," Mayor Guajardo said. "This proposed plan will provide the next steps in many aspects of moving our city forward."
The HSP study found that ABC is not easily walkable to hotels, restaurants, or shops, contributing to losing business for attracting conventions. The plan includes an urban trail connecting the ABC area and Whataburger Field to downtown.
"This plan addresses all major concerns and creates an event district that will compete for many more impactful events while also expanding downtown northward," said Hunden.
The next step is for Hunden to continue working with the City, Visit Corpus Christi, and other stakeholders to move into the financing and development process.

Daix (France), August 29, 2018 – Inventiva S.A. ("Inventiva" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), systemic sclerosis (SSc) and mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS), today announced that Frédéric Cren, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Inventiva, will present a corporate overview at the upcoming H.C. Wainwright 20th Annual Global Investment Conference being held on September 4-6, 2018 at The St. Regis New York hotel, New York, USA. The event details are as follows:
Date: Wednesday, September 5, 2018
Time: 10:25 am (Eastern Time)
Location: Room Louis XVI A (2nd floor), The St. Regis New York hotel
The presentation can be followed live via webcast and replayed at: http://wsw.com/webcast/rrshq28/iva/
The presentation document will be available on Inventiva's website in the "Investors" – "Documentation" – "Investor presentations" section.
Inventiva is a biopharmaceutical company specialized in the development of drugs interacting with nuclear receptors, transcription factors and epigenetic modulators. Inventiva's research engine opens up novel breakthrough therapies against fibrotic diseases, cancers and orphan diseases with substantial unmet medical needs.
Lanifibranor, its lead product, is an anti-fibrotic treatment acting on the three alpha, gamma and delta PPARs (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors), which play key roles in controlling the fibrotic process. Its anti-fibrotic action targets two initial indications with substantial unmet medical need: NASH, a severe and increasingly prevalent liver disease already affecting over 30 million people in the United States, and systemic sclerosis, a disease with a very high mortality rate and for which there is no approved treatment to date.
Inventiva is also developing a second clinical program with odiparcil (IVA 336) for the treatment of patients with mucopolysaccaridosis type VI (or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome), a rare and severe gene disease affecting children. Odiparcil has also the potential to address other MPS types, characterized by the accumulation of chondroitin or dermatan sulfate (MPS I or Hurler/Sheie syndrome, MPS II or Hunter syndrome, MPS IVa or Morquio syndrome and MPS VII or Sly syndrome). Inventiva is also developing a portfolio of early research projects in the field of oncology.
Inventiva benefits from partnerships with world-leading research entities such as the Institut Curie in the field of oncology. Two strategic partnerships have also been established with world-class major pharmaceutical companies AbbVie and Boehringer Ingelheim in the fields of autoimmune diseases (specifically in psoriasis) and fibrosis respectively. These partnerships provide milestone payments to Inventiva upon the achievement of pre-clinical, clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones, in addition to royalties on the products resulting from the partnerships.
Inventiva employs over 100 employees and owns R&D facilities near Dijon, acquired from the international pharmaceutical group Abbott. The Company owns, a proprietary chemical library of over 240,000 molecules as well as integrated biology, chemistry, ADME and pharmacology platforms.

In October 2010, as Time Master: Vanishing Point was just rolling out, I asked "Which character would you like to see as Booster Gold's future wife?" The winner of that poll was Trixie Collins.
In November 2015, after Convergence revealed all DC Continuities still existed, I asked "Which character would you expect to see revealed as Booster Gold's future wife?" Trixie won that vote, too.
So who will win this year? One guess.
People like Trixie. I don't blame them. I like her, too. But I don't think Jurgens ever intended her to marry Booster Gold any more than he did Blair Butler or Power Girl (both hinted at in Booster Gold #28).
You'll note that Sondra Crain was the least popular option in all three polls. For those too young to remember, Crain was anti-hero of "The Tomorrow Memory," climaxing in Booster Gold #30. Her goal was to prevent the past that created her in the hopes of making a better future. However, over the course of the story, she fails at her original goal. In fact, the only thing that she truly manages to accomplish is the salvation of young Gracey Greene.
As you might have realized by now, Gracey is my guess for Booster's wife. Granted, she may seem underage to be romancing our hero, but that's only because you're not thinking fourth dimensionally. From the right point of view, she is nearly five hundred years older than Micheal "Booster" Carter.
My guess isn't only based on Gracey's blond hair and fair skin. It also happens that Jurgens was working on Time Masters: Vanishing Point at the same time that "The Tomorrow Memory" was going to print. I don't think it's a coincidence he saved one person (only one!) from the destruction of Coast City in a story that was otherwise about how changing time was impossible unless he had a plan for that character.
Am I right? Who knows. Given how notoriously tight-lipped Jurgens is about his intentions and abandoned story threads, it may be decades or more before we ever get an "official" answer to this question.
Nailed it! Great minds think alike. And we know Jurgens, thats the way he thinks.
If you had five Booster Gold autographs and Booster gave you seven more, how many autographs do you have?
If a villain held ten hostages and Booster Gold freed seven of them, how many hostages remain?

I don't want to denigrate our Race, especially when there are so many Whites and non-Whites these days who are more than eager to do it. But whaling was a shameful chapter in our history. To think those amazing creatures were hunted down and harvested in their millions just so their parts could be used for trivial things like lamp-oil, combs and ladies' corsets. And then think of all the White men who lost their lives in those long whaling expeditions around the world and the families they left behind.
It's possible that some of the whales who managed to get away from those whalers in the 19th century are STILL out there swimming around, maybe with parts of a 19th century harpoon still stuck in their sides. Are they reminded of what happened to them 150 years ago when they see a ship with tall masts approaching?
If only we could get the Japs to stop harvesting them. I've noticed the Orientals love killing certain kinds of animals that many of us Occidentals would do anything to try and save.
fd Says:
The symbolism of the painting is not honorable, but it represents reality.
The Japanese are raping the ocean of tuna.
Asians in the Far East will eat anything. The disgusting eating habits of the Chinese would make a billy-goat throw up: monkey brains, whatever. When these people are blocked from White technology, they will sink into a slumber like water seeking its level.
2 October, 2014 at 12:08 pm
You're right about the atrocious dietary habits of the Chinks, fd. Maybe it's due to the fact that China has had so many famines throughout its long history that they've developed the ability to eat any damn thing. Even each other.
Unless I'm mistaken the biggest American whaling ports were located in New England, in places like Mystic, Nantucket and New Bedford…In other words the villainous North!
The painting does not glorify or romanticize whaling, it clearly shows that both the whale and the whalers are terrified. Meanwhile the seagulls are flocking around in hopes of scavenging a meal through the violent, blood-stained efforts of others. Kind of reminds me of how the Jews operate.
Dark and stormy. The whitecap waves are jagged and pointed. The whale is seemingly greater in defeat than the desperate hunters are in victory. Nobody wins.
Kevin in L.A. Says:
Beautiful. Masterful.
The detail in the shades, the heavenly light coming down from the clouds, the birds, the tumultuous waves, the distant ships; even the agony of the whale being part of the food chain…
This is true art, not just because of the realistic look, but because it is a true depiction of our culture, of our people.
A few years ago, I went to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles with my family. It was mostly filled up with childish scribbles and amorphous "sculptures." Thankfully, there was one room with an enormous painting similar to this one, of our ships sailing the seas. The amount of patience it must take, the absolute attention to every detail, every atom of color. That is true skill.
Anyone who prefers modern art over this has a mental illness.
Art is a matter of taste. No one can dictate its value to another.
Of all the years I worked offshore including the North Sea, I never saw waves with such sharpness in rough seas. They don't look natural. That's my experience talking. Whalers and fishermen know the dangers of working when its rough. But these sailors look like warriors, and I can respect that.
Antagonistes Says:
Well, I expected McGreen to start into his usual monologue about those ancient, moldy album covers.
Perhaps it is a sign of his evolving maturity that he did not. Perhaps.
But the Chinese are the modern culprits of animal devastation. They hire African poachers to kill rhinos and elephants because fundamentalist Taoists believe that eating powdered horn improves their sexual performance.
You know what Ant? Now that you mentioned it I think it's time for some more great album-cover art, this time from Blue Cheer. This is the artwork from the cover of their second LP, Outside/Inside, released in late 1968 on Mercury. It's totally out of sight, so I know you'll dig it (If you look closely you'll even see an invisible naked lady's bottom, just to the right of the shoe-house):

Powerful Snowstorm Set to Bring Chaos to Parts of US, Flight Delays Possible

Snowstorm Hits Spain, Madrid Braces For Heaviest Snowfall In Decades
MADRID—Heavy snowfall brought by Storm Filomena put parts of Spain including the capital Madrid on high alert on Friday, causing traffic congestion and forcing authorities in some regions to deploy the military to clear access to villages.
With up to nearly 8 inches of snow forecast in 24 hours and temperatures expected to hover around zero centigrade for much of the day, the south of the Madrid region, including the capital, is on its highest level of alert for the first time since the system was created in 2007.
Such events are rare in the region and tend to be disruptive to daily life and mobility, coming at a time when people are returning home after Christmas and New Year holidays. This year, however, there is less traffic than usual due to restrictions to curb the coronavirus pandemic.
Large parks in Madrid, including the famous Retiro next to the Prado museum, were closed as a precaution.

Ruben del Campo, a spokesman for the State Meteorological Agency, said the city was probably facing the heaviest snowfall at least so far in the 21st century.
"Perhaps we would have to go back to the snowfall of February 1984 or to that of March 1971 to find similar precedents if the forecasts we are expecting are correct," he added.
Castilla-La Mancha, one of the three regions put on high alert on Friday along with Madrid and eastern Valencia, closed schools, and troops were called in to clear access to some villages.
With hundreds of roads affected by the snow, trucks were banned from several important highways and authorities asked citizens to avoid non-essential travel.
Airport operator Aena urged passengers to use the subway to get to Madrid airport, and train operator Renfe cancelled some routes.
On Wednesday Spain registered the lowest temperature ever recorded on the Iberian peninsula, of -29.38 Fahrenheit, in the Pyrenees in the north.
The storm first hit the Canary Islands with strong winds and rain. In Gran Canaria, a ferry with 59 passengers and 17 crew ran aground on Thursday night due to the strong winds when entering the port of Agaete.
On Friday the coastguard rescued the passengers, who were unharmed, but the ferry remained stranded.

World's most powerful graphics card for Litecoin mining announced
Thursday, 10/04/2014 | 17:20 GMT by Ashton Fraser
Innovation // ToDo refactor when changes on back-end are ready
Advanced Micro Devices, affectionately known as AMD, the company that brought us the Athlon CPU in the late nineties providing unsurpassed speed to desktops worldwide, have just announced their latest beast - the Radeon R9 R295X2, claiming it to be the most powerful graphics card in the world.
For those of you who are into your PC gaming, you'd know that the first real GPU wars started in the mid-nineties, between Nvidia and 3dfx. Eventually Nvidia acquired 3dfx, but there was a new player in town - ATI, who introduced their Radeon line of graphics card, offering graphics as powerful as Nvidia's line of Geforce cards, and so a new generation of GPU wars had begun. All this, whilst, the CPU wars were on going between Intel and AMD. Unfortunately, since the Athlon days, AMD has been unable to keep up with the innovation of Intel, so whilst they've effectively failed to provide a strong enough competition to Intel in terms of CPUs, they have however been able to compete against Nvidia in the GPU space (admittedly by buying ATI a few years ago).
Ok, so what does this all have to do with Litecoin mining? Well, right now, it's only Nvidia and AMD who can provide graphics cards that can mine Litecoins at an acceptable rate. The two companies are always trying to out do each other with their respected cards, each one claiming that theirs is the best for PC gaming.
The thing is, AMD don't officially sanction their cards for crypto coin mining, but miners know one thing, when they come out with the claim, "most powerful graphics card", then it means it's also the most powerful card for mining as well.
Non-Fungible Tokens and FX/CFD Brokers. An Opportunity Not to Be Missed?
Step forward the new Radeon R9 R295X2, a dual GPU based graphics card with liquid cooling, set to be launched on the 21st of April, retailing at $1500.
Ironically, last week Nvidia announced the Titan Z graphics card, also claiming insane performance, except at a very hefty price tag - $3000. Unfortunately for Nvidia, they've been outmanoeuvred by AMD, who have basically poured water all over Nvidia's fire, announcing a card that's just as fast (if not faster), at half the price. Quite ludicrous.
AMD knows that the crypto currency mining industry is only going to get bigger, and they're going to try and protect their position as the number one choice for Litecoin and Dogecoin mining. Also, the way Nvidia's card works, it's actually not very good for mining. I expect Nvidia will soon jump on the bandwagon soon, to produce a card which not only has excellent gaming performance, but decent mining performance too. Their current Maxwell brand of cards can do a job for mining, but aren't much use to heavy gamers.
Put simply, if you want a graphics card for the ultimate gaming or mining performance, nothing beats AMD's new Radeon R9 R295X2.
Anandtech have a detailed review of the Radeon R9 R295X2.

Lottery Procedures
The lottery is an ancient game of chance, sorting privilege, or play, in which lots are drawn to determine prize winners. In the Merchant of Venice and Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare refers to it as a "warriour of fortune." Indeed, the best commanders have some sort of lottery for their work. Other classics, such as Robert South's Sermons, and John Dryden's Horace, also refer to it as a "war of fortune".
Lotteries have been around for many years, and there are a number of reasons why people play them. The earliest lotteries were privately operated, and they were quite reputable. As time went on, state legislatures started offering their own lotteries. This boosted the popularity of the lotto, and its revenue grew. Nowadays, lotteries provide a vital source of revenue for the government and support general public services.
The lottery originated in the Netherlands, where it became very popular in the 17th century. The Dutch lottery was a form of taxation that raised money for the poor and other public purposes. The Dutch praised lotteries as a simple method of raising tax revenue. The oldest continuously running lottery in the Netherlands is called the Staatsloterij, which means "fate and chance."
A lotteries have several functions. One of these is to reduce the burden of making a final, binding decision in cases where judgment is lacking or the basis for judgement is unclear. Another function of a lottery is to increase diversity, because decisions made under the burden of lack of judgment tend to favor well-known and trusted projects. These two functions are related, but they are distinct. Let us look at these functions in turn. Let us first consider how lottery procedures are applied in various contexts.
To maximize profits, lottery products must be priced at a price that is reasonable in terms of expected prize value. The cost per unit is the payout rate multiplied by the price. A straight-three-digit numbers game has a probability of one in a thousand, but most states pay off at 500 to one. These state-specific numbers are not representative of the number of people in the state. Moreover, if the lottery has a payout rate of 50 percent, it is not profitable for its state.
Strategies to increase odds of winning
As with any wealth, there are responsibilities that come with wealth. Even if you have the means to purchase everything you want, you must consider using some of it to give back to others. Giving back is not only right from a societal perspective, but it can also enrich your own life. Money is not happiness itself, but it does allow you to experience life's joys. Those are valuable lessons to take with you as you build a foundation to build your financial future.

Discussion in 'Tenant Farming, Subsidies, BPS & Legal Issues' started by Tracy12, Jan 17, 2019.
or rent it for horses what the rate to charge per horse ?
.. 5 acres of grass on a hill in a sheep area that's not had fertilizer or lime and it's 10 quid and acre year rent and hard as he'l to sell .... location location location and do the neighbours want it.
it is on a bit of a bank but dad always kept it for haylage , got about 25 bales from it . so wondering I someone wanted it for hay how do I price it ?
Last summer as shortage and drought worth a bit maybe.
Horse people and small bales if made good worth £5 each but cutting,turning ,weather,raking,baling,shifting,storing,selling all cost too.
Someone may give around £50 acre if good grass weed free maybe.
Wize guys out there go steady ?
Ask local Autioneers too maybe.
Hi @Tracy12 If you tap on the search button at the top and then type in 'horse paddock rent ' in the Google search it brings up some previous discussions on your topic which may be of interest. I would link them but struggled due to my lack of skill! Good luck.
Well, if it were round me and on a 364 day rent, I'd give you between zero and £200 for it, total. Probably somewhere in the middle. So many variables and difficult to value them.
If you want to maximise income and don't mind doing some work, then put on £300 of fertiliser and spend maybe £10 a round bale getting it cut, tedded, rowed up and bales for hay. If you have a good year you could then sell them for £20 each off field, or keep them until winter in a shed and maybe get £15, or £50, depending on the season we have.
Sad fact is, economically, the field will never return an income commensurate with its sale value. Unless you have strong emotional reasons for holding onto it, or want to try a bit of farming, you would do best to engage a rural auctioneer/ estate agent to sell it for you. 5acres is a nice size for a horse owner, and they will pay way more than Agri value to have their own paddock.
Selling it might be the best option. 5 acres in the right location could be worth £100,000 easily. More if its got water and electricity as people will buy it to put planning in for a dwelling.
Guidance please. On a similar note, have around 2 acres of field which is landlocked and no direct access with about a third subject to flood risk. How might I get a value for this land for admin purposes?
How long is piece of string and if any neighbours fancy it otherwise "over a barrel ",maybe???
Difficult to value, if there is no legal right of way to it then it's only your neighbours who will want it and are likely to know your predicament.
When your speaking to local auctioneer abt the 5 acres ask abt this too. They may able to negotiate a right of way for you - they will know who is who with all thier local knowledge.
