Hares Gap is one of the easier walks through the Mournes and like most its quite accessible too. From the road you would hardly know its there but park up at the Trassey Road car park and climb over the stile (or just open the gate) and follow the path into this part of the Mournes.
You can park your car either in the car park a little up the road from this sign or at the side of the road (fold your mirrors in its narrow passing here). The second picture is taken off an information board at the car park.
After you climb over the stile (or open the gate) follow the road past some obvious deforesting that's taking place. I'm not sure what this old wood looked like during its finer days, but Clonachullion is no more. Maybe there was some disease in there and he had to go. Anyway, marvel at the piles of timber as you pass by.
As you turn the corner past the wood you'll catch your first glimpse of the beautiful Mourne mountains ahead. The sign warns of weather preparations required at certain times of the year but today it was just wonderfully warm.
I'm not sure what fate befell the young boy whos memorial is placed here, but 20yrs ago (this year) something bad happened during the trek ahead, pay your respects and enter through the gate and admire the view to your right as the wall fades off into the distance.
Theres a crystal clear mountain stream here tumbling down the hills which I suspect is fine to drink, but even if its just to splash your face or dip your toes in (to cool down) its still appreciated. On the second picture you can see the Mourne wall on the horizon (the straight bit) which is the back side of the wall we walked up to on the Glen River walk (see elsewhere on the site for that) and you might just be able to pick out an old quarry up to the right as well where they mined granite in this area. On the third picture is an ominous warning to dog owners which I suspect has been placed by some irate farmer that's had his sheep attacked. I haven't heard of anyones dog being shot, but please keep your animals under control if you come up here. This is private land and you're only a guest being allowed to walk here.
The magnificent Hares Gap. You can clearly see how the glaciers cut their way through here around 60 million years ago. Since then, man has made his way along this route either to mine granite or to smuggle goods (Hare's Gap marked the exit point for smuggled contraband including soap, leather, spices and coffee and was carried through the mountains on the backs of small ponies which descended via the Hare's Gap to the valley of the Trassey River and on to Hilltown – a favourite distribution centre. Today though its just a wonderful location for a fantastic Northern Ireland walk.

Q: \n in INSTR SQL When I make a
(select instr(hist.texte, '\n'))

I find 0 while there is \n in my text.
I don't have this error with another character chain.
Is it the "\" which could be a problem?
Thanks in advance,

A: If you're speaking about text, literally typed in your string, then you should escape \n since DBMS will treat \ as escape-sequence symbol. So following will work:
SELECT INSTR(hist.texte, '\\n')

A video has emerged showing not only alleged internal details of the iPhone 5 but the front plate that holds the larger display.
So much for post-product-release teardowns. The iPhone 5 is being torn down piece by piece already.
Just after alleged photos of the iPhone 5's main circuit board appeared, we now have a video of not only the front plate but items as small as the "flex cable," replete with the sleep-wake button and volume switch, according to SmartPhone Medic, a smartphone repair service based in Columbia, S.C.
"We just got some new iPhone 5 parts in," the video begins. The SmartPhone Medic guy then goes to show the alleged iPhone 5's front plate with the larger display.
In addition to the obvious display size difference with iPhone 4S (iPhone 5's display is about 30 percent bigger), the camera and proximity sensor locations have changed, SmartPhone Medic claims.
They also place the new iPhone 5 front plate on top of the Samsung Galaxy S III, clearly showing that even with the iPhone 5's larger screen, the Galaxy S III's 4.8-inch display is a lot wider and taller.
The video also shows an 8-pin dock connector flex cable assembly, and two other flex cables for the iPhone 5.
The next iPhone could be announced as soon as next month.

United Airlines plans to launch the first non-stop service between the United States and Cape Town, South Africa, subject to government approval.
The airline intends to operate three weekly flights from New York Newark Liberty International Airport to Cape Town International Airport, starting in December 2019.
United says it will use Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft with a total of 252 seats on the seasonal route, which will become the airline's first connection to the African continent. The carrier's fleet of almost 800 airplanes includes 25 Boeing 787-9 and 12 787-8, as well as seven 787-10, of which United became the first American operator in November 2018.
Cape Town Airport currently does not have any direct flights to the United States. The route offering mostly consists of destinations in southern Africa, along with a number of long-haul flights to Europe and the Middle East.
Johannesburg, which hosts South Africa's largest airport at 21 million yearly passengers, offers two direct connections to the US. A route operated by United Airlines' Star Alliance partner South African Airways (SAA) to New York JFK, as well as a Delta Air Lines connection from Atlanta's Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport, both flights operate on a daily basis.

Michelle Mandico - Therese Lithner - Croatia
Michelle Mandico - Ptarmigan.
Background - Nashville singer-songwriter Michelle Mandico has a new single entitled "Ptarmigan" (named for a northern grouse of mountainous and Arctic regions, with feathered legs and feet and plumage that typically changes to white in winter) which was released recently.
Colorado native Michelle Mandico traded in snowy slopes as a ski instructor for the warm sounds of Nashville to deepen her career as a writer and musician. Encouraged by a musical family, Michelle grew up singing with her sisters before learning to play piano at age five and she began songwriting shortly after. Her music is comparable to contemporary artists like Ingrid Michaelson and true classics such as Joni Mitchell.
Mandico's onstage charisma blossomed in Denver's live music scene and she has headlined notable venues, including Los Angeles' Hotel Cafe, Denver's Lost Lake and The Basement in Nashville. In 2015 Michelle released Half Captive , a piano-pop EP produced by Jacob Schrodt. The EP's second track, "Give It Up," was featured on Nashville Indie Spotlight 2017. In April 2017 her song "Name Game" (an soul pop duet with Drew Southwell of Trove) aired on Bravo's Imposters. WEBSITE, FACEBOOK.
The song opens with a gentle acoustic arrangement and Michelle Mandico's sensitive and personal vocals just shine on 'Ptarmigan'. The soundtrack builds a little, however it's the fetching vocals that rightly retain centre stage.
Therese Lithner - Drown.
Background - With a past in bands like Vaken and My Sound Of Silence, Therese Lithner was an active part of Umeå's flourishing music scene in the early 2010's. To begin writing songs for a solo project wasn't an obvious choice or any direct plan but fell more like a coincidence.
It was during a session in the rehearsal room, when it suddenly was as the 90s shined through and old childhood idols got free play. With reverb on vocals and guitar, Therese began improvising material, wrote three songs on pure inspiration and recorded them on her mobile phone. Somehow they felt different and the idea of a solo project began to take shape.
After Therese moved down to Stockholm, she started playing with Andreas Sandberg (Magic Potion) in a rehearsal space south of the city. Together with co-producer Linus Johansson (Folkvang, Earthquake, Nightcraft, Old Amica, etc.), the work started with the material that now has resulted in an EP, set for release this spring via Lazy Octopus Records. First single 'Drown' has now been released. The song is a journey through a relationship, it's about the feeling of first wanting to hug the breath out of everything thats beautiful and then let it fall apart. FACEBOOK.
There is a positive and engaging rhythmic musical vibe that underpins 'Drown', an indie rock track that provides plenty of room for Therese Lithner's vocals, to glide and add some melodic and soothing vibes.
Croatia - Make Circles.
Background from Croatia - We're Croatia, a synth-pop group from Victoria, British Columbia. Taking heavy influence from the revolutionary sounds of 80's era pop and electronic groups, we aim to create our own meaningful - and at times darker - alternative to conventional pop music. We're excited to share with you the video for our new single, "Make Circles". The first track off of our forthcoming Half Dreams EP set to be released this spring, and the first to be released with our new vocalist.
"Make Circles" is a song celebrating the ridiculous and cliché moments of intimacy that we often end up in despite our best efforts, and the potentially beautiful outcomes that they might offer. We wanted to reflect those themes in the video as simply as possible, while keeping each scene and visual engaging. Rob Willey at Tall Grass Films understood our vision from the very beginning, and really encouraged us to run with the idea.
"The band first approached me with the idea of the opening shot: a cigarette burning in a kind of David Lynch style motel room. The original plan was to simply shoot various hands picking up the cigarette. We'd also shoot a few different images to overlay, including one of the band in the pink/blue light that I had set up. As soon as I saw the band in the light I became really excited about how vibrant it looked. We came up with a variety of ideas for shots on the fly as we were filming. During the editing process I wanted to cut and overlay the images together in a way that would really enhance the moodiness of the song." - Rob Willey (Tall Grass Film)
The writing and recording process behind "Make Circles" was a quick and natural one for us, along with our decision to release the song alongside it's visuals. The theme of last minute decision making, and trust in how things will actualize, truly runs throughout the entirety of the song. Whether it's trusting that a new relationship is worth pursuing, or that 4 hours with a group of strangers, cheap cigarettes, and a small garage in the peak of summer will result in something worth sharing with people. FACEBOOK.
Some potent synths open 'Make Circles' before the beats quickly kick in. The vocals are charismatic and give the song some added edge, and then we have the video that gives a further dimension to the piece, ensuring collectively it's a winner.

Since my arrival back into Melbourne on the 18th of September, I have been trying to get myself back to cementing some manageable routines. No point striving to squeeze too many training sessions in with life and not able to give 100% to anything.
I wanted to get myself back swimming but not joining the squad just yet. I am pretty much starting from square one – not having done any swimming since July when I had my bike crash. I had a splash here and there when I was on holidays but not actual swimming.
The first session was on Monday 22nd, where I just headed down to GESAC after work and aimed to do a 1km. This ended up being about 1.4km albeit that I had to deal with many people in the Medium lane swimming different speeds and doing different strokes (inc breast stroke...in the medium lane). I tried to not let it get to me too much and just swam past people where I could. I wasn't able to move to the fast lane as it already contained too many people too.
I had to drop my car off to get serviced on Tuesday so what I ended up doing was riding into work from the dealership (only around 3km) and then riding home that afternoon (35km). The ride home was horrid. The weather being fantastic, brought people onto the beach in the hundreds which meant that people were walking all over the shop from about Port Melbourne through to Sandringham (pretty much where I turned off). Riding through St Kilda was a nightmare! I was careful and personally, the bell works much better than a voice and the general public are very blaze about voices but a bike bell is distinct enough. As I was on the CX bike, I don't ride on the main road as I am not able to ride at a great speed compared to the road bike.
Back in the pool on the Friday and kinda (but not really) smashed out a 2.4km. It was really 6 x 400m with F (warm up), F & P, PB & P, F & P, F and then cool down which I incorporated paddles and fins doing backstroke. The swim was done on the Friday night and I had the entire lane to myself.
Due to the Grand Final (Hawks back-to-back premiers yiewwww!!!), I did my long run Saturday morning. I aimed at a 10km first seeing that I haven't ran since June and only had 2 short runs in Canada (both being 6km each with plenty of stops) during my holidays. I ended up doing 12km at a really slow but consistent pace. No way can I pull off a half marathon now.
With no bike to ride on the Sunday, I decided to just do house things like unpack from my holiday, clean, sort out closet (culling), played with the dog.
It is now the 2nd week back at work/life and it is going good so far. I did my own swim on the Monday night and windtrainer on the Tuesday with the squad. Could not put in 100% towards windtrainer as it was my first session back and the set was a shock to the system, so much so I took Wednesday off as a recovery session for my legs as well due to the lack of sleep.
I attended by first "Lady Bombs" session – this is a session started up by some of the girls from the squad I am with. We are currently riding laps of Albert Park lake. I did a few of these sessions last season before they changed the program to have a run session instead. This morning 2nd Oct, some of us ended up riding 7 laps.
During my holidays, I didn't train and this was done on purpose. I had worked hard with a company for the last 8 years and I had long service leave accrued. It doesn't come overnight and nowadays, who stays with the same company for more than 5 years? I wanted to spend quality time this holiday with my partner (and his family) and not seclude myself in a swim, ride or run apart from the Gran Fondo which we both entered and finished.
So far I have paid for 2 triathlon events – Challenge Shepparton 16th November and Challenge Melbourne on the 1st February 2015 (jumping up to the 35-39 category). These are not my "goal races", they are my events. I am not going to put so much pressure on myself and about times. This is also a reason why I haven't pulled out of Shepparton (an event about 5 weeks away....) as I haven't set expectations for this, I know that I am able to finish the event, I know that it will hurt (what race hasn't) and I will complete it. Challenge Melbourne is 4 months away but once again, no pressure, it is just an event.
Since being back, I have signed up for the Afterglow Trail Run. It is a half marathon from Point Addis to Torquay. The run starts at 6:30pm and it is compulsory for all competitors to have a head torch (need to buy a head torch).
There is the Giant Odessey on the same weekend as Melbourne Ironman. If I do this, I will sign up for the 50km (not 100km) but this will mean that I will need to get some MTB riding in between now and then, it is not an easy event, nothing like the Dirty Gran Fondo. I might do some riding the same weekend as the Afterglow run out at the You Yangs.
Apart of two triathlons and a trail run, there may other events on the cards. Won't dwell on them too much for now.
Tonight is the last Thursday night run session before we move back to Elwood for the Thursday afternoon combo sessions starting next week. It will be my first run session with the squad in over 3 months. I will take it nice and slow, my legs are pretty smashed for Lady Bombs this morning.
Favourite session of the week: Loved my first Lady Bombs session. There was no tough love handed out which I actually appreciated. At the moment, I just want to get back into training without the pressure. First session out on the road with the TT Bike (Foxy) since Ironman in March. I even cleaned it for the first time on the Sunday since the race. We did race efforts, sprints, hardest gear with plenty of recovery breaks in between.
Least favourite session of the week: Windtrainer on Tuesday - I just couldn't keep up with the intensity since I haven't been training in that environment (humid) and around that intensity in months. I felt dehydrated on Wednesday morning even after I drank about 1.5 litres of electrolytes after the session. Must reset my mindset for this session next week and concentrate better at technique.
Advice of the week: Slow, steady, smart.
Ride2Work and Around the Bay week.

Author/Chef Interview: The United States of Pizza
Posted by tomatowellness on October 22, 2015 in Uncategorized
ENTER TO WIN A COPY OF THIS BOOK!
Get to Know Craig Priebe, Pizza Expert and author of The United States of Pizza
By Sharon Palmer, RDN, nutrition consultant for the Tomato Products Wellness Council
Craig Priebe is one of the leading pizza experts in the United States. Dubbed the "pizza miracle worker" and the "pizza expert" in the press, Craig has won numerous awards for his culinary vision in the pizza world, including "the Nation's Top 100 Pizzerias" for five years in a row by Pizza Today, and Best International Pizza of the Year at the Pizza Expo. He is the coauthor of Grilled Pizzas & Piadinas and his new book The United States of Pizza, which has just been released. You can read more about him at his website.
We sat down with Craig to learn more about his own unique appreciation for pizza, his best tips for the best pizzas in the country, and his view on the wonderful role that tomato products play in one of our most beloved foods.
Sharon Palmer: Tell us about your journey to becoming "the pizza expert"
Craig Priebe: In 1995, I was working as a chef at the Westin Inn at Atlanta, and I purchased a book from George German—he's responsible for coming up with grilling pizza. I was very interested in leaving the hotel industry and starting my own place. So, I opened my own pizzeria for 8 years, and I won all sorts of competitions and accolades. I closed it in 2002 for personal reasons, and came back to Chicago. I wrote the book Grilled Pizzas & Piadeinas shortly after I closed my place.
During my whole career I've been amazed with pizza, and I've been so fascinated with the way it has changed across the country—yet it's still pizza. Since 2010, I started to study it in a really hardcore way. It's always been a passion of mine; I was born in a wonderful Italian family, with a Tuscan grandmother. Pizza is my hobby.
SP: Tell us about your new book, United States of Pizza.
CP: Mostly it's a book about the regional differences of pizza, and that really says something across the US. It has nothing to do with who has the best of the best pizzas. I wanted to find out which regional differences there were in the country. I researched the story about a particular place—what they were doing and what's going on around them. And then I wrote a short story about that place with a pizza recipe. I have 75 recipes like that.
The book is divided up into chapters that are organized by the pizza dough—there are 8 different doughs and 8 different chapters. Every pizza in that chapter uses that kind of dough. I have lots of pictures and I list techniques. I made the recipes very simple. You don't need any advanced knowledge of cooking to make the recipes. I made them very accessible so that it was easy to make these iconic recipes in your home oven.
The book is a lot like a travelogue, with stories about pizza, and the recipes emulate the pizzeria. I traveled to most of the places; I worked on it for more than 5 years. I am always traveling, and I never forget a good pizza.
SP: How do tomatoes play into the pizza?
CP: My book has three kinds of tomato sauce. It is wonderful to use tomatoes on pizzas in many different ways, which I include in the book. Tomatoes are one of the most nutritious foods there are, and cooking makes them even more nutritious. That's why tomato sauce on pizza is a very healthful thing.
SP: What are the origins of pizza?
CP: It's a food as old as time; as soon as we had fire we've been making grains that were pressed into patties, which were seasoned and cooked on rocks. Pizza is a food of the people. It started off in Italy as food for poor people, yet you could really enjoy it and it was healthy. Tomatoes were added to pizza around 1,500 AD, when they decided tomatoes were appropriate and that they could eat them—the upper class had thought they were poisonous. If the queen could eat pizza it was good enough for anybody. The Margherita pizza shortly thereafter came to the US. It came to New York as a big pizza cut into small pieces that people could afford. It was street food—a simple food served in a simple way.
But people have always loved pizza, and we changed it into so many different styles. I don't know of any other food that transforms so well, with different fillings, thickness, consistencies, and toppings. It's never going to stop. It's been really big in the US for about 100 years. We have done more with pizza than anywhere else in the world. Italy is very strict with their interpretation of pizza. America is more freewheeling. Every region of the US thinks their pizza is best—it's a thing of pride, because it inspires a lot of competition. I like it better the way we do pizza in the US, where we have large pizzas that we share instead of individual pizzas, as they have in Europe. Our style is a gathering; it brings people together.
SP: Why do you think people feel guilt over eating pizza?
CP: Sometimes pizza is pretty oily and greasy, so it has gotten a bad name because it may have a lot of cheese and saturated fat. But I think many people are starting to realize that it's still a wonderful food to eat. You can make pizza as healthy as any food on earth, but if you want to eat a really greasy Chicago-style pizza, then you can consider it as a treat. You can make a grilled pizza on a whole wheat thin crust, rich in complex carbs, light in cheese, with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil, and tomatoes, and make it very nutritious.
SP: What are ways that pizza can be a healthful food?
CP: Pizza is something we can eat every day of the week. You can make it very nutritious and healthy for your family, and it's very simple and easy to prepare. Start with good ingredients, such as whole wheat flour, artisanal stone ground corn, extra virgin olive oil, a little bit of dried cheese, and put toppings, like roasted zucchini, tomatoes, herbs, and pesto on a pizza so that it is filled with flavor and is nutritious. If you make it at home, you can make it much healthier than what you get at a restaurant. You can make it nutritious, healthy, delicious, and use organic foods, and no preservatives. I like to use a simple tomato sauce with a few herbs and sea salt.
SP: Please share the best pizza you've ever experienced.
CP: My favorite pizza is a simple sourdough crust, with tomatoes, basil and cheese. I use a pizza screen, which is an aluminum disc that allows the full flow of hot air and makes it a crispy pizza.
However, I have a great pizza story. I had the opportunity to prepare a TV show in Kona, Hawaii. We were going to invent a pizza with the essence of the island and culture and create this wonderful pizza wrapped around Kona, Hawaii. We used this sea salt mixed with red clay (red alaea salt) from Kona, and lomilomi mahi mahi—this is a massage that people use for themselves or with fish—it cures the fish with lime juice so it is not cooked and is like ceviche in a way. And then caramelized pineapple. So the pizza had the lomilomi mahi mahi and the pineapple on top—it looked like the island itself. We worked with it on the lava beach of Kona, and we went to the sea salt factory where the salt was naturally made by sea, and we went to the beehives to get honey from the white kazzabe tree—which is the same as mesquite. We learned about the culture and created a pizza on the seashore on a black lava beach. I had such a good time doing that pizza, which featured the essence of Hawaii, which we called the Lomilomi Mahi Mahi Pizza. It was incredibly healthy, with fresh fish and lightly glazed with a little bit of honey.
We did something similar for Oregon. We did a video of a pizza inspired by the Oregon Trail. We took pork belly and corn meal—the two ingredients that the people arriving to Oregon lived on for two years while crossing the US. They ate nothing but those two things, but when they arrived in Oregon they had an abundance of berries and shellfish. So we added smoked oyster and marionberry jam with pork belly on a cornmeal crust to this pizza.
Every pizza has a story.
Chunky Tomato Sauce
Makes about 11⁄2 cups , enough for one (14- or 16-inch) pizza
I use this zesty tomato sauce on many pizzas
because it blends so well with different flavors
and adds a shiny bright red base. It only takes
a few minutes to make and the taste is great.
You can make this sauce up to three days in
advance. Store in an airtight container in the
1 cup diced plum tomatoes with juice
4 big fresh basil leaves, chopped
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Mix all the ingredients together in a medium bowl.
Let the sauce sit for 1 hour, either on the counter
or in the refrigerator, to allow the flavors to meld.

Enda Kenny said recent criticism of Ireland's tax regime did not come up in his discussions with G8 leaders yesterday.
TAOISEACH ENDA KENNY has defended Ireland's tax regime in the wake of recent and high-profile criticism of it by US polticians as he insisted the matter had not been raised with him in discussions with G8 leaders yesterday.
Kenny admitted he could not say whether the leaders will speak about Ireland's tax structures in discussions today but said that Ireland had "absolutely nothing to hide".
Kenny met with the G8 leaders in Lough Erne yesterday where discussions on a proposed EU-US trade deal topped the agenda. Asked afterwards if Ireland's tax structures were raised he said they had not been.
G8 leaders are set to focus more closely on taxation in discussions today with the aim being to reach a consensus on greater sharing of information between countries.
Kenny added that Ireland had been at the forefront of a number of measures aimed at sharing taxation information with other countries. Watch what the Taoiseach had to say in the video above.

Xiaomi Mi 5 to Have a Windows 10 Mobile Variant
By: Ivan Jenic
▪ February 2, 2016 ▪
Home » News » Xiaomi Mi 5 to Have a Windows 10 Mobile Variant
Xiaomi apparently has big plans for Windows 10 Mobile market in 2016. After releasing a Windows 10 Mobile ROM for its previous flagship device, Xiaomi Mi 4, the Chinese giant will now do the same thing with its upcoming flagship model, Xiaomi Mi 5.
Xiaomi Mi 5 is originally an Android device, but various rumors around the internet say that it will also have a Windows 10 Mobile variant. However, this is still just a rumor, as the company didn't release any official statements yet, but considering Xiaomi's actions from the recent past, it is very likely to happen.
Xiaomi Mi 4 isn't the only company's device powered by Microsoft's latest operating system, as the company also recently announced its first Windows 10 tablet, Xiaomi MiPad 2. But the Xiaomi MiPad 2 comes with the full desktop OS, instead of the mobile one, which is completely normal, since most of the Windows 10 tablets come with this version of the system.
Xiaomi Mi 5 arrives later this month
We expect the Xiaomi Mi 5 to be available by the end of February, more precisely, on February 24. It is also believed that the Mi 5 will be unveiled at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which takes place February 22-25.
As for the specifications of the Xiaomi Mi 5, most of the specs are still in rumors. However, the company confirmed that the device will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor, and will offer a dual-SIM support.
It is still not clear if the company will release the 'full' Windows 10 Mobile device, or just a ROM, like it was the case with the Mi 4.
Windows Report will be at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, so if Xiaomi reveals any details about Windows 10 Mobile operating system on its upcoming Mi 5 model, we're going to inform you with the latest news.

Tears are often associated with our emotions. Tears can express joy, sadness, anger or surprise. But our tears also have a vital role in the health of our eyes, protecting our vision by providing lubrication and washing away dirt and dust. An inadequate production of tears, commonly referred to as dry eye, is a condition that can go from annoying to chronic if not addressed by an eye care specialist like the optometrists at Omni Eye & Vision (Burnaby).
Regular visits to the optometrist are a great way to protect your vision and detect and treat conditions like dry eye. Our optometrists have extensive training and the latest technology for accurately testing and evaluating the health and performance of your eyes. We have multiple treatment options and guidelines for patients suffering from dry eye, which affects some five million Americans over the age of fifty.
Dry eye produces symptoms including a scratchy or burning feeling in the eyes, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, and redness. The dryness may be caused by an inadequate supply of tears, or tears that don't contain the necessary nutrients to protect and nourish the front surface of the eye, known as the cornea. Age is certainly a major factor, as are the side effects of a number of over the counter and prescription medications. People with diabetes, thyroid disease, and rheumatoid arthritis tend to be at a higher risk, as are women, likely due to pregnancy and hormonal changes. Spending too much time in front of a computer, and in air-conditioned or heated spaces can worsen the problem.
Your vision is precious, and the optometrists at Omni Eye & Vision (Burnaby) want to help you protect and preserve it for years to come. Regular visits to our comfortable, modern offices will ensure that conditions like dry eye don't become serious. Don't hesitate to contact us today to schedule an examination.

The Grand Theft Auto series is about to take its second bow on the PlayStation Portable with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories shipping at the end of this month. The game takes everything that Rockstar established in the first PSP incarnation, Liberty City Stories, and turn it up to 11. We had a chance to sit down and try out some of the game's multiplayer modes recently to get a taste of what's in store for us all.
All of the multiplayer game types that we saw in Liberty City Stories are back in Vice City Stories, though some have been tweaked or updated a bit. For example, some of the street races are now classified as "Quadathlon" races, wherein you'll change vehicles multiple times per race. So while you may start in a car, you may then need to switch to a boat, then a chopper and then perhaps back to a car before the race is done.
The one new multiplayer mode (there are four new game types) that we had a chance to get our hands on is entitled Might of the Hunter. If you know your way around GTA's history and vehicles, you may recognize that this name refers to Vice City's high-powered helicopter, replete with dual rocket launchers.
In Might of the Hunter, it's an every man for himself game with each "round" opening with a race towards the lone Hunter helicopter on the map. Whoever reaches the chopper is then free to rain down hellfire on their opponents and score a point for everyone he or she kills. Everyone begins the game with a rocket launcher, so once someone is airborne the others are all gunning for him.
The catch here is that you only ever earn points for either taking down the chopper or killing others while in it. That is, you can't roam about the city and take out other grounded players and hope to rack up on points. This means that one strategy you'll want to use is to always have an accessible vehicle nearby before you start gunning for the chopper so that you're able to speed towards the next spawn point quickly.
Utilizing the superior audio and visual processing power of the PSP, Chinatown Wars is reborn with noticeable boosts in graphic and sound quality.
Mature storyline with over 70+ story missions; plus dozens of side quests, collectibles, contextual mini-games and the all new mission replay feature.
Addictive drug dealing side game adds street economics to the mix with 6 different drug types, 80+ drug dealers and a supply / demand driven narcotics economy.

Q: How to provide type annotations in case of circular dependency in different files in Python? Please consider the following working code
from __future__ import annotations

class A(object):
    def __init__(self, val: int):
        self.val = val

    @property
    def b(self) -> B:
        return B(self)

class B(object):
    def __init__(self, a: A):
        self.a = a

a = A(val=1)
print(a.b.a.val)

Which only works when both classes are defined within the same file.
output: 1

I want to put each class in a different file, and doing it like so:
file uv_dataset.cvbnhxx.b2:
from uv_dataset.cvbnhxx.a2 import A

class B(object):
    def __init__(self, a: A):
        self.a = a

file uv_dataset.cvbnhxx.a2:
from uv_dataset.cvbnhxx.b2 import B

class A(object):
    def __init__(self, val: int):
        self.val = val

    @property
    def b(self) -> B:
        return B(self)

a = A(val=1)
print(a.b.a.val)

now gives
ImportError: cannot import name 'B' from partially initialized module 'uv_dataset.cvbnhxx.b2' (most likely due to a circular import) (/home/noam.s/src/uv_metadata/uv_dataset/cvbnhxx/b2.py)

How to make circular annotations resolve properly? I was not able to do it correctly with forward declaration, but likely because I got the syntax wrong.
This answer doesn't work for multiple files.

A: Switching to module-only imports and forward-references should work as the documentation says.
First have a directory structure similar to the following.
foo/
  __init__.py
  a.py
  b.py

a.py and b.py import each others module but not the class and __init__.py imports from a and b
__init__.py
from foo.a import A
from foo.b import B

a.py
from foo import b

class A(object):
    def __init__(self, val: int):
        self.val = val

    @property
    def b(self) -> 'b.B':
        return b.B(self)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    a = A(val=1)
    print(a.b.a.val)

b.py
from foo import a

class B(object):
    def __init__(self, a: 'a.A'):
        self.a = a

Implementation of FG, ASUU MoA on course – Ngige
Adelani Adepegba, Abuja
The Federal Government has said the implementation of the Memorandum of Action signed with the Academic Staff Union of Universities was on course and progressing without hitches.
Minister for Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, stated this on Thursday, at the end of a meeting between the government and ASUU to review the progress made in the implementation of the MOA signed by the parties in December 2020.
Ngige said the meeting discussed every item on the 2020 Memorandum of Action between Government and ASUU and the progress made so far, and reached agreements.

This was contained in a statement on Friday by the Ministry of Labour spokesman, Charles Akpan, titled, 'Implementation of FG, ASUU Memorandum of Action on course – Ngige.'
On the issue of the Revitalization Fund, the minister said they considered how to streamline the outstanding payment into the national budget or into a special system fund.
With regards to Earned Academic Allowances, Ngige recalled that the government paid N40 billion to all the unions while the National Universities Commission provided a formula, which was used for sharing it to all the university workers.
He stated, "We had pockets of protest (regarding that) and we managed it. Today, we also agreed to find a way to accommodate the balance in order to pay all as and when due.

"We also looked at salaries that were not captured by the office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, resulting in some lecturers not having their full amount of payment since December or January 2020. We felt that such a thing should not arise. Notes were exchanged by the office of Accountant-General and ASUU leadership. So, we want them to go back and cross-check."
Ngige said they also discussed the issue of check-off dues, and again both OAGF and ASUU were asked to go back and look at their records and reconcile because the Accountant-General's office said it had finished payment and tendered documents in that respect.

He said the issue of state universities and the NUC bill were equally addressed and they agreed that both parties should look at the draft bill and the final bill knocked out for transmission to the National Assembly.
"We also looked at the issue of University Transparency and Accountability Solution and also made certain recommendations which will be communicated to the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, who heads the supervising ministry, to enable them fast forward the various tests that are needed on the UTAS system like stress test, integrity test and the rest of them.

"So, it has been a very fruitful meeting and we have reached agreements on most of the issues and we can say that we made a very big progress on the relationship between the government and ASUU. In the light of that, we have agreed to reconvene before the end of May, to know where we have reached on the various assignments we gave given to ourselves."
In the same vein, President of ASUU, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, said, "Put together, we want to agree that we had fruitful deliberations, and we have strong hopes that there would be a peaceful and harmonious relationship in achieving the provisions of the MOA of 2020."
He commended the Federal Government for agreeing with the Union on a periodic review of the implementation of the MOA signed by both parties.
"We want to agree that it is a departure from the past because now we have agreed on intermittent or periodic review of the MOA so that areas that could create tension would be apprehended before matters degenerate," Ogunyemi said.

Ah, I am soooooo overjoyed to be here, not least because I arrived to discover that the books I clustered into a colourful troop at our friend's house last year (I know: but, honestly, I just can't help myself) seem to have stayed together in the interim. It was like walking into a joyous reunion with old friends and just picking up where we left off. Aren't they mesmerisingly beautiful? I've been sitting and staring at them, drinking in the colours, and thinking how fascinating that they are vintage books yet such 'now' colours: millennial pink, ink blue, gen z yellow and fresh spring green (and a bit of purple thrown in for good measure). I think that's why I love them so much: they're the perfect blend of old and new. When you're as crazy about colour as me, it's little things like this that bring big, heart-soaring joy.

Huawei Vision S Series 55-Inch Smart TV Review
All this time, I thought that we were already pushing the boundaries with current Smart TVs. I mean, you can talk to them. You can treat them like your smartphone with apps, play games on them, and so much more. Then here comes the Huawei Vision S Series, a lineup that the company calls "Future TV," thanks to its various smart features never before seen from competitors, bolstered by a sense of seamless collaboration and intelligently delivered entertainment.
Available in 55 and 65-inch variants, the Vision S Series boasts almost bezel-less displays with 4K UHD resolution and take note, a 120Hz refresh rate, something you'll usually see on more expensive products. These are also powered by Huawei Histen algorithms for superb audio quality, a camera for MeeTime, the brand's own video calling service, and collaborative features like Huawei Share, One Hope Projection, and more.
The price? it's PhP36,999 for the 55-inch variant, while the 65-inch model will retail for PhP56,999. The question is, are they really that much better than your standard smart TV? Huawei was generous enough to send us a review unit, and here's what we found.
Naturally, a TV of this size comes in a huge box, and it took some time for two people to get the TV and all the other items out of the box onto a table. Fortunately, there are holes on each side where your hand can go in, so you can easily move the box around. As usual, the panel is sandwiched in two pieces of Styrofoam and all the other pieces including the stand also have their own slots.
You get two stand pieces, four screws, the power cable, the camera, two batteries, the remote, and a short quick-start guide.
The two stand pieces are made of solid metal and attach to the TV using two screws for each side. Once installed. They're able to do a good job of making sure the TV remains stable on your table. Of course, you can have it wall-mounted for a cleaner or piece-of-art look.
Design and Build Quality
From the get-go, the VISION S Series looks just like your typical Smart TV. A brand at the lower center, an almost bezel-less frame, and a thin form factor that everyone's into these days. The metal frame that houses the panel gives a premium look and feel, while the rear cover is precisely contoured to give off what Huawei claims is a "crafted" look.
The TV boasts a screen-to-body ratio of 94% and its display has a resolution of 4K, which I think should be a standard on a TV this size. It also covers 92% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, boasts a brightness of 350 nits, and perhaps one of its most unique features – a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth and fluid visuals, which we'll get to in another section.
At the back, there are three HDMI 2.0 ports, an AV in, a single USB 3.0 port, and a SPDIF port. The detachable 13MP camera uses four magnetic pins that connect to corresponding slots at the top-rear section of the TV. In terms of functions, the camera can tilt upwards or downwards but can't swivel. It also has an LED indicator to tell you when it's on.
Despite the absence of HDMI 2.1 ports, the PS5 and Xbox Series X should still work fine with the Vision S Series, but you will be limited to 4K resolution at 60Hz.
Display Analysis
Adobe RGB
Huawei claims that the Vision S Series covers 92% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which is pretty close to what we got on our test. The device also covers 100% of the sRGB color space and 84% of the AdobeRGB color space which makes it good for both gaming and creative work.
The TV also came out with a 2.2 on the Tone Response test, which means you get deep blacks. There's also no backlight bleeding present when using a black background at 100% brightness.
As for brightness levels, the Vision S Series shows good consistency from zero to full brightness, with only minimal differences.
In the audio department, the VISION S Series is equipped with a pair of 10W speakers and 10W tweeters which work with Huawei's Histen Algorithm which uses psychoacoustic and auditory perception models to deliver great sound quality. The TV is able to adapt both its sound and video profile to match what's on the screen, or you can manually choose a sound and video profile yourself.
Now, as far as sound is concerned, this TV can get really loud, and in a good way. There's no audible distortion at high volume, the dialogue in videos come out crisp and clear for most of the time. Bass is average, which is expected from a TV, and highs are well-balanced and not piercing.
The Vision S Series is equipped with a Honghu cinema-quality chipset, along with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. According to Huawei, the SoC uses Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation (MEMC) interpolation technology to achieve enhanced fluidity.
Before we get to what interpolation does, it's important to take note that the refresh rate determines how fast a monitor, or in this case, a TV, is able to update what's on screen. In this regard, the higher the refresh rate, the smoother the images will look.
Now, by definition, interpolation means that in order to reduce motion blur and make images appear smoother, the TV intelligently determines what happens between each frame, and inserts that particular frame in between. So even a 60Hz panel can technically reproduce the perceived smoothness.
Now, as good as that may sound, there is a caveat. This works well on games, but not so much on movies or other video content. That's because most films are recorded in 24fps or 30fps, which is how they're meant to be viewed. Forcing a smoother framerate can make them look a bit off, or artificial, which I personally don't like, but could be okay for some people.
Now, for a 4K 60fps video on YouTube, this effect isn't evident, and the image appears very smooth and fluid, but watching a 30fps music video, I noticed a few issues. Note that most of these only occur on YouTube videos, but content on Huawei Video runs fine.
How I (Partially/Fully) Solved Them
Dimmer Images Change Picture Preset/Increase Brightness
In Some Videos, Audio is Out of Sync Set Dynamic Picture Compensation to Medium or Lower
Some Videos are Displayed in the wrong Aspect Ratio Change Picture Preset Then Play Video Again
Video Lag No solution yet. Tried turning off Dynamic Picture Compensation, didn't work.
Things are slightly better with a 4K video playback with a USB Drive – I didn't get the aspect ratio problem, audio is in sync, and playback is mostly smooth and fluid though there are still micro stutters here and there, plus the artificial effect.
Thanks to 32GB of internal storage, the Vision S Series can store a considerable amount of apps, including games. Unfortunately, the gaming experience on this device isn't as pleasant as even on a decent budget smartphone.
As you can see in the video, it was struggling to put up even a decent performance even at low graphics setting for MLBB, a game that I often term as playable in almost any device, and to be fair, it is playable, just not to an optimal experience.
Fortunately, there's another way to utilize the big screen for gaming. Just use One Hop Projection to mirror your phone's screen to the TV, and start playing. For some games, it means you'll still have to look at your phone for the controls, but for some titles like Real Racing 3, using the phone as your steering wheel while using the TV as your cockpit view raises the immersion.
I also tried connecting my PC via the HDMI 2.0 port and was able to get a resolution of up to 4K 60Hz. As for gameplay, Resident Evil 2 Remake looks fantastic on this TV, there's more detail, the lighting effects look more refined, and I saw some things I didn't when playing at a lower resolution.
At the time of writing, the Vision S Series review unit we had was running on HarmonyOS version 2.0.0.188. You get access to the brand's various services like MeeTime, Huawei Video, Huawei Music, Petal Search, and of course, the AppGallery. There's also this section where you'll find all the pre-installed apps, and for those which you'll install moving forward, a file browser, an input source toggle, and a gallery.
Huawei Video offers a great selection of both local and international content, and Huawei Music offers a vast library of some hidden gems. If you've had enough of mainstream music, try playing a song in one of their playlists, and you'll be in the groove.
A sort of pull-down menu is also available, and can be launched without leaving the app you're using. The panel looks more like it came from a smartphone, and allows you to fiddle with a number of settings such as video and audio presets, brightness, toggle Wi-Fi On or Off, enable Multi-Screen and Huawei Share, and switch your input source.
While animations are smooth and fluid, there are things that could've been done better. For example, if you want to adjust contrast, you'll have to go to Settings > Picture Mode > Select Custom > Press the Menu Button > and you'll find the Contrast option. Quite the journey just for a simple adjustment, right? oh, that goes for Saturation, Sharpness, Color Temperature, and Tone as well.
Now, fortunately, you can adjust most of these options in the Vision app, which should work even on non-Huawei phones. For advanced picture options though, you'll still have to take the long route using the actual remote going into Settings > Picture Mode > Menu Button > Advanced.
Oh, and don't get me started on this app. It may be feature-packed, but it still needs optimization. My Mate 30 Pro even restarted while using it.
For additional convenience and accessibility, you can use voice commands to execute a number of actions. Once you have it set up, just press the microphone button on the remote control and you'll see a prompt.
You can talk to the AI as if you're talking to a real human. You can ask it to play music, show a list of videos you can watch, set the volume and brightness to a specific level, check the weather, turn on Wi-Fi, and a lot more.
There's no Google Mobile Services here, which means you don't get apps like YouTube (at least by default), which is one of the top sources for video content and the answer you'll mostly get if you ask 20 people around your neighborhood as to where they watch their videos.
Fortunately, you can sideload YouTube and other apps using Aptoide, an app market that you can also install on the Vision S Series either by using Huawei Share or a USB Drive to transfer the APK file. Now that's good and all, but since there's no GMS, there's no way to sign in to your Google Account, which means you won't be able to take advantage of your YouTube Premium subscription. Hello, ads.
As for Netflix, another top source of video content, you'll be able to install it via Aptoide, you'll be able to log in just fine, but you'll need to use the Vision Home app or connect a wireless mouse to easily navigate inside the Netflix app.
To ease your worries, Huawei is bundling an OTT Box that lets you easily enjoy a vast library of content including Netflix, YouTube, Discovery Prime, and more. This PhP3,999 accessory will come with FREE with your pre-order and for those who'll purchase a unit from May 22 to September 30, 2021.
MeeTime
If you have a compatible Huawei device, and your Huawei account is set to Philippines, you can initiate a high-quality video call to anyone with MeeTime. Simply select the MeeTime app on the home screen of your Vision S Series, select who you want to call, and you're good to go. The 13MP camera that attaches to the TV can do 1080p video calls.
OneHop Projection
Using your Huawei smartphone, you'll easily be able to project audio and video content to the Vision S Series with just a few taps, letting you take advantage of its large display for a more immersive viewing experience.
Mirror Control
Mirror Control basically projects what's on Vision S Series' screen onto your phone, allowing you to use its touch screen to navigate within apps. This is very helpful for apps like Netflix, which doesn't respond well to input from the remote control, as well as Zoom Meetings.
Huawei Share
Using a compatible Huawei Smartphone, you'll be able to easily transfer photos, videos, and other files to the Vision S Series. All you have to do is Enable Huawei Share on both devices.
Huawei Vision S is definitely more than your typical Smart TV, offering a minimal but still elegant-looking design that would make it a nice fit to most spaces, just like adding a new piece of art to your own gallery at home or even in the workplace.
Coming from a 2K monitor, 4K resolution on such a huge screen really does make a difference in the level of immersion, especially when you're watching movies. It showcases great color accuracy and its built-in speakers are able to produce clear and impactful dialogues, stirring and moving effects, and refined music.
It also offers a lot of features that make life just a little bit easier for you – seamlessly transfer audio, video, and other files, mirror the screen of your phone to the TV so everyone can watch see what you're playing or watching, and also using your phone's screen to control the Vision S Series.
As for its 120Hz feature, it's great when it works. You get fluid and smooth movements, transitions, and animations. As far as being a refined feature though, there's still much to work on as the consistency just isn't there yet. Sure, it's fine with Huawei's own video service app, but load a YouTube video, and on its own, you'll feel like the device is just allergic to it.
Sure, you can turn all that processing off or reduce its intensity, but not having that makes the Vision S Series just almost the same as your typical Smart TV, just with sharing features.
HarmonyOS looks clean, I'd give it that. But it still needs optimization for that smooth and fluid experience like on a smartphone. It offers a good level of customization, but navigating deep into the menus just for a simple task of say, adjusting the contrast? that's just one way to ruin the experience. Thankfully, there's a companion app, but it can be unstable at times.
Then, of course, there's the absence of GMS, which means you'll have to rely on sideloading to get YouTube and Netflix, two of the most popular streaming platforms up and running (at least on its own), and even if they run, there are still asterisks.
So the big question is, would I buy it if I had the money? it's a tough one. If Huawei can fix some of the issues that I've mentioned above, it would be a great addition to my room. In its current state though, I'd be hard-pressed to consider it against a Smart TV that has fewer features but is more refined in things that it should do well.

that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.


It's becoming pretty obvious that the Limited Run Games has been very busy in the quiet early months of this year with the announcement that Eastasiasoft is getting a three titles brought to physical release. Announced this evening are Lost Sea (PS4), Rainbow Moon (PS4, Vita), and Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype (Vita). The details are scarce about pricing and dates but all games will come with nice full-color manuals like it's 2001 all over again. Rainbow Moon comes with cross-save support, which is handy if you've buy both versions, and Soldner-X 2 continues the trend started by Oddworld of including the DLC on disc with the game, in this case the Last Chapter add-on. Additionally, Rainbow Moon and Soldner X-2 both get new trophies for the physical releases unavailable in the digital downloads.
Possibly the most interesting aspect of today's news is that Lost Sea, an adventure game set on a series of procedurally-generated islands, is coming out for PS4 physically and digitally at the same time. On the one hand it's nice to get all patches and DLC on the disc, on the other this is the first title from the publisher to get a simultaneous release in what had been the standard fashion up until the last year or so. It's a bold new future for gaming that bears a startling resemblance to normalcy.

The Progressive Era & American Imperialism
A Complete Unit Plan for US History in Middle School or High School
The 12th in my US History curriculum covers the Progressive Era and American Imperialism as these two topics overlapped in the late 19th Century.
This is a wonderful unit for your middle school or high school American History classroom and a introduce students to muckrakers, Yellow Journalism, the Spanish-American War, and more.
You can download all the lesson plans and resources for the unit here, or subscribe to Students of History to immediately access every lesson online.
The unit kicks off with a "big picture" lesson on the Progressive Era. You can begin with the PowerPoint and guided notes (plus Google Slides or "flipped classroom" video options) to introduce the main concepts. Afterwards, students put that knowledge to use by analyzing a primary source from either Jane Addams (the founder of Hull House) or Robert M. LaFollette. Lastly, students work independently or in pairs on a Progressives Newspaper Project .
Lesson two focuses on key progressive reformers W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, and more. After an in-depth comparison of each, students analyze a source from Du Bois before beginning a review of several influential Muckrakers of the Progressive Era.
The next lesson connects the Progressive Era and Imperialism by reviewing the presidents of the era and their policies towards each aspect of this period. There is another PowerPoint and guided notes set (also with Google Slides and video) available to cover McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, William H. Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. Following this, students can work on a Liliuokalani and Hawaii Source Analysis, worksheet on the Panama Canal, or Teddy Roosevelt Biography Activity to reinforce their understanding.
Lesson 4 covers the largest conflict of the era: the Spanish-American War. There are two PowerPoint options: an amazing one in 3D that will enthrall your students or a traditional version, both with guided notes for students. Following this, students complete an interactive timeline at stations or tables before finishing off with a Yellow Journalism clickbait project.
Next up is a lesson on the Boxer Rebellion using a set of fantastic primary sources and several video clips. Students finish off the lesson with a reading activity or completing one of the digital notebook pages.
Now that the concept and main events of the era have been introduced, students next analyze America's role through a World Leader or Bully Analysis to get them thinking critically. Following this, students review political cartoons related to imperialism to see how others from the era viewed America's actions.
Lesson 7 covers the aftermath of American imperialism and independence for the Philippines through printable PDF primary sources or an editable Google Doc lesson.
A PDF or Google unit guide packet and digital notebook set can be used throughout the unit for extension activities or remediation.
The unit concludes with review games and activities followed by an editable test, with editable Google Forms version for easy grading.
You can download most of the resources individually with the links above and also see reviews from teachers who have used them.

Because Swami Vivekananda was a saint and a revered one, understood as the manifestation of God himself or Devansh (part of Godly spirit), his perception about humanity was higher and lofty. He understood human beings as part of God directly. Education, according to him, is only to awaken the spirit that's within a person. His booklet or pocket-sized book published by Advaita Ashrama, Education for Character, takes the readers on a journey to understand the real purpose of education.
The book is full of ideas and motivational thoughts. As we all know Swami Ji was a full-blooded masculine personality. His words are the source of information and motivation for the youths. He is the symbol of energy, power and thoughts for the modern India that he dreamt of. And this book is a treatise on the common issues that we have to face in everyday life. Swami Ji tries to provide us with the eye-opening ideas by which we can build our character and support in nation-building. The thought is organised in the book that starts from 'True Education' and ends at 'Universal Prayers'. In between those, he has talked about many important things about our youth, women, motherhood, education, and faith.
Whosoever will read this book will not have not to visit anywhere to find the energy inside him. The lines are full of energy and reading them makes a reader feel different. It's not a simple motivational work that entices you to do something or anything – the arguments in the book are packed with ideas that take your mind to another level and compels you to think for the furtherance of ideas into actions. What do you contribute to the nation with your education?
He also talks about Faith and Belief. He defines atheist in a modern way and tells us 'One who does not believe in himself' is an atheist. He tried his best to awake the youths of India by his writings. Swami Ji's remarks on women, poor and true faith in God are amazing. He did not believe in a God that cannot wipe the tears of a widow and feed a poor. For him, according to this book, Karma is your only duty and doing something worth is your only morality.
Swami Ji has started a revolution of faith. India is a land that taught the world of tolerance. He was a visionary and did some tremendous work to uplift and spread the vast culture and heritage of our great country India. He told the West about us. He told the East about us. And this book will tell the very Indians about the glorious country that India is. Rabindra Nath Tagore said about him, 'If you want to know India, study Vivekananda. In him, everything is positive and nothing negative.' He was the first among the dreamers of a modern India. Every Indian should read his book Education for Character. You can complete this book in just a span of one hour. It is too short in length and vast in ideas.
Amazing and splendid! Read it any day you want and you will be transformed if you did it carefully!
