"They had these beautiful, soft towels. Very good towels. And I came in and there was a crowd of a lot of people. And they were screaming and they were loving everything. I was having fun, they were having fun. They said, 'Throw 'em to me! Throw 'em to me, Mr. President!' So next day they said, 'Oh it was so disrespectful to the people.' It was just a made-up thing. And also when I walked in, the cheering was incredible," he said.
"You were a rock star!" Huckabee affirmed.
Trump launched the beautiful, soft towels during an eventful Tuesday visit to the island, during which he managed to say or do a number of bizarre things in the course of a few hours.
Puerto Rico is still reeling from Hurricane Maria, with the vast majority of the island lacking power 18 days after the storm hit. The federal response has been sluggish, though, naturally, Trump framed it as outstanding, and accused the media of distorting the picture on the ground.
Elsewhere in the not-exactly-hard-hitting interview with Huckabee, who is his press secretary's father, Trump took quasi-credit for inventing the word "fake," accused Iran of working with North Korea, attacked San Juan's mayor once again, and backed off on his promise to move Israel's embassy.


Home > Scrapbooking > What Is Scrapbooking?
Scrapbooking is a fun hobby that a lot of different people have, where you gather pictures, important things you have saved that have meaning to them, stories and all kinds of different art supplies and either buy an already made album or create your own scrapbook album. This is meant to keep your photos and all of the memories that come with them and other things you may be adding from getting destroyed or misplaced over time. Scrap Booking is really just a fun and productive way to capture memories and make them tangible. This is a great way to spend your time if you like to wax nostalgic!
Scrap booking can be a solo project or a social project. You can do this project all on your own or you can have a group of friends together and do this as a group activity. You will never have 2 of the same scrapbooks out there unless of course you make 2 that are exactly alike. This is a fun rainy day project or if you do not have anything to do and become real bored.
This would even make a great birthday party game. You could have all of the people attending bring photos of important events and if you have other certain things you may want to put in it bring them as well. Or if you are having a sleepover this is a good project to incorporate into your fun and games. You can even do this for a favorite pet that has passed or is still around, weddings, birthday, best friend, baby shower and so many other different things.

How is it that BIRDS that ROOST manage to kill/hurt themselves trying to roost??? I was out checking on the birds and collecting eggs late in the afternoon and I heard flapping in a bush. I started thinking it is a bit early for a bird to be trying to roost. I go over to where I hear the noise and find a bird hanging by a toe from a fork in a branch. I'm not sure how long she had been hanging there, but I'm guessing at least 12 hours if not a day or more. I got her loose and held her so she could drink. It didn't appear she could move this leg, I'm hoping since now she is no longer hanging from it maybe she will be able to use it again. Obviously she has a broken toe, so we will she if she is able to recover. About two years ago I had another bird get her neck caught in a fork in a bush and it killed her.
After letting her drink her fill I put her under a log so she would be somewhat protected. I should build a quarantine/recovery area for when birds have problems, but that's just one more project.

U.S. drone strikes kill 12 in Pakistan
Sydney, Fri, 24 Aug 2012 ANI
Sydney, Aug 24 (ANI): At least 12 persons were killed after U.S drones dropped missiles on three areas in northwestern Pakistan on Friday.
"Five people were killed in the attack on Makki Ghar area, four in Andara and three in Darai Nishtar in Shawal valley of North Waziristan," The Age quoted an official, as saying.
The identities of those killed were not known, the official said.
The region is believed to be a hub of the deadly Haqqani Network and Hafiz Gul Bahadar group, who launch raids across the border on national and international troops in Afghanistan.
The strike came a day after Pakistan summoned a U.S. diplomat to lodge a formal protest about the recent drone attacks, which Pakistan calls "unlawful, against international law and a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty". Pakistan has also said the attacks bolster anti-U.S. sentiment.
There have been drone strikes reported on a daily basis for the last week.
The U.S. has been pushing Pakistan for years to carry out a military offensive in the area against the Haqqanis, who have launched some of the most deadly attacks on the U.S.-led foreign forces in Afghanistan.
Despite Islamabad's repeated protests, the Obama administration is not willing to halt the CIA drone campaign in the tribal areas. Washington insists they are necessary to target rebels in the lawless region, considered largely beyond the effective control of the Pakistani security forces. (ANI)

Home Business Over 3000 hinterland youth to train for careers
Over 3000 hinterland youth to train for careers
Minister in the Ministry, Mrs. Valerie Garrido-Lowe
[www.inewsguyana.com] – Over 3,000 young people in Hinterland communities throughout the country are to benefit from training in technical vocations and life skills; commencing October 1, 2015.
The one-year programme, will be implemented in three phases and will afford youths the opportunity to get qualified in areas of tourism and hospitality, cake decoration, sewing, electrical instillation, plumbing, mechanical engineering, and carpentry and joinery, according to a release from the Government Information Agency.
Minister within the Ministry of Indigenous People's Affairs, Valarie Garrido-Lowe, told GINA that the first phase of the programme will consist of theory and some practical, while the second phase will allow the youths to be attached to the Village Council or private enterprise for work study.
"For instance, if you are constructing a hospital or a school in a community, the contractors normally walk with all their skilled personnel. We have to do better than that, we have to equip our youths to get employment when these projects come up, and the only way we can do that is to train them," Minister Lowe explained.
The youths will also benefit from a stipend of 30,000, and according to Minister Lowe, they will only receive 20,000 from the stipend; 10,000 will be saved and they will have access to this sum at the end of the programme. This will amount to $120,000 for the year in training.
In addition to the stipend, those who are interested in creating their own businesses will receive a small grant to do so. "Not everyone can work in the village or regional office. There will be room for persons to create their own business," Minister Lowe said. The youths will also be trained in book keeping, accounts, event planning, report writing, along with the skill of their choice.
Once per month there will also be workshops on various issues prevalent amongst youths, including teenage pregnancy, alcohol abuse and Trafficking in Person (TIP).
The Toshaos of the respective communities are tasked to recruit students from their villages to register for the programme.
The programme is designed to equip young people with the skills of a trade of their choice, an opportunity to earn as they learn, and the tools of their trade at the end of their training. They will get an equal opportunity to bid for jobs and projects even as they are being trained.
Additionally, Minister Lowe said that those secondary school students who are qualified to attend higher institutions of learning such at the University of Guyana, Government Technical Institute (GTI) and Carnegie School of Economics will receive scholarships to attend those institutions.

That's who you pull people out poverty. Not by giving them "hand outs" – the strategy the PPPC used to garner votes. You liberate people through education and training.
BRAVO! BRAVO!

Where are those who hollered that the new government fired 2000 of our native brothers? The new government is training 3000 and paying them the same $30,000/month. Isn't this a better option than paying the young people to do political work? Where are the ones who were claiming "ethnic cleansing"? Where are you?

Azeris Wrestle Over Return to Abandoned Towns, Decades After First Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict With Armenia | 44 Дня
Azeris Wrestle Over Return to Abandoned Towns, Decades After First Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict With Armenia
By Ann M. Simmons
| Photographs by Justyna Mielnikiewicz for The Wall Street Journal
Feb. 15, 2021 9:48 am ET
AGDAM, Azerbaijan—Some 30 years on from the war that saw Armenian forces drive hundreds of thousands of Azeris from their homes in and around the conflict-torn enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, many hope they can soon return after Azerbaijan regained much of the surrounding area in a counteroffensive last fall.
But for Sayali Pashayeva, and others like her, that dream is clouded by questions such as where they would live in the rubble-strewn border territories, and whether they could realistically carve out a new livelihood upon their return.
"I thank God for allowing me the possibility of returning to die on my own land," said Mrs. Pashayeva, 74 years old, on her first visit back to Agdam, once home to her family and 40,000 other people. Her son and daughter unfurled a red rug from the trunk, a gift for the local mosque, the only building left standing here, about 3½ miles from the border with Nagorno-Karabakh, still officially under the control of ethnic-Armenians. The capital there, Stepanakert, is monitored by Russian peacekeepers.
"For 30 years, we have waited for this moment," Mrs. Pashayeva's son, Alastun Pashayev, 45, said. Azerbaijan secured control Agdam and several other regions in and around the disputed enclave during a bloody six-week battle before Russia brokered a cease-fire in November.
Actually returning won't be easy. Mr. Pashayev says he knows his $135-a-month in disability payments and pension paid to displaced people won't be enough to reclaim the life he lost in Agdam three decades ago, when he was still a child.

Jeep's New Grand Wagoneer Could Be Incredibly Fancy…and Pack a $100,000 Price Tag
How much will Jeep enthusiasts pay for an SUV? We may be about to find out, thanks to the brand's first six-figure model.
By Tyler Duffy
You might not know it to look at their SUVs and pickups from the outside, but Jeep keeps pushing further into luxury territory. Three Grand Cherokee models now start north of $50,000; a fully-loaded Gladiator and Wrangler costs more than $60,000; and the top-of-the-line Hellcat-powered Trackhawk can be optioned up close to six figures. Suffice it to say, we haven't yet found the limit to what Jeep buyers will pay. But a report from Mopar Insiders says Jeep is preparing to test it with the new 2022 flagship Grand Wagoneer, which they expect may carry a $100,000 price tag in top-trim form.
The Grand Wagoneer will reportedly be a full-size, three-row, body-on-frame SUV running on the Ram 1500's platform. Mopar Insiders says it will be the most luxurious and technologically advanced vehicle in the FCA lineup, and Jeep will position it to compete with the Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon Denali XL and Lincoln Navigator L Black Label.
If the report is correct, Jeep will give the Grand Wagoneer some Level 3 autonomous technology, allowing conditional autonomous driving in certain situations. The Grand Wagoneer will join the Wrangler, Compass and Renegade with an eventual 4xe plug-in-hybrid model offering around 30 miles of electric-only range. The report also says the Grand Wagoneer will feature premium wood…but sadly, that wood is unlikely to be part of the exterior. (Though maybe that could change, when the tooling wears out.)
A top-end Jeep Grand Wagoneer with a $100,000 price tag would cost more than a Toyota Land Cruiser — which almost everyone feels is sort of over-priced. That price would be significantly more than the previous iteration of the Grand Wagoneer, which topped out around $65,000 in today's dollars. But if the Grand Wagoneer ends up being a super-lux SUV version of the acclaimed Ram 1500 with Jeep's off-roading credentials, paying that much could make sense…at least for the people who buy opulent, off-road-ready six-figure family haulers.

Under 18s coach Simon Wiles looks ahead to Saturday's match against Accrington
Apologies, this video is unvailable.
Sign in to iFollow Fleetwood
Under 18s coach Simon Wiles looks ahead to Fleetwood Town's FA Youth Cup fixture against Watford and discusses his sides togetherness as they look to continue their 12 game winning run.
Town's youngsters beat Walsall in the Second Round of the FA Youth Cup last week, and have been drawn against Premier League side Watford at Highbury.
Wiles' side have been on a superb 12 game win streak, and face Accrington Stanley in the Youth Alliance League on Saturday at Poolfoot Farm.
Here's what Simon Wiles had to say ahead of a busy few weeks:
On being drawn against Watford in the FA Youth Cup and the chance for other players to step up...
"We're excited about the game! I think when the draw came through, there was a real buzz between the lads and the staff, and the fact that a Premier League side are coming to Highbury, we want to challenge ourselves against the best.
"It's one that we are thoroughly looking forward to. We want to see if we can use our tactics against them, see how they are gonna play against us and hopefully we get the result on the night that will put us into the fourth round.
"With some of the lads being away with Northern Ireland Under 19s, there is a real opportunity for some of the players to step up and give us a good headache for who we are going to select on Saturday.
"You are looking at the likes of Lewis Patterson, who we've played against Oldham, then you've got Sam Barrett who has obviously been a regular with us at this moment. You've got other players in and around it that are really chomping at the bit to stake a claim in the side, and this opportunity has come around now."
On continuing their unbeaten run and the work the players and staff put in...
"It's the hardest part of football now trying to maintain what we've started so far from the start of the season. That is something that we speak to the players daily about, and we are just hoping that it goes into the next game.
"They are in a really positive place and they are going into games recognising that if we play the way we play, if we bring the same intensity that we bring to training we will have a real opportunity to get the performance that we want.
"Some of the work that goes on from the staff and the players is fantastic, and it's a culture that we really thrive off. You look at Steve Macauley, he's our Academy Physio but he's a defender who has played a lot of league games and brings a lot of experience to our younger defenders.
"We've got Matty Urwin who works with the goalkeepers daily,and you've got the other support staff as well that are helping them physically and psychologically as well.
"We've got a good group of staff who really work with these players day in day out trying to get them better."
On his enjoyment coaching the side...
"I'm absolutely loving it, they are a great bunch to work with. That's something I feel as a group of staff, not just myself but as a group we enjoy working with these players day in day out. We give them a lot of responsibility and a lot of ownership to try and create the culture that we want here, at this moment in time so far so good.
"They are in a really good place and one place that we want to keep on building from. Just keep building on what we've done so far.
"At the start of the season, I spoke to the lads and I said how do you want to be seen as a group of players, and they came up with all the answers.
"As a group, getting the information through from the first-team, it's about how can we make the transition from what they want to what we need to make sure there is a crossover in terms of style of play.
"The lads have really bought into that and the lads have recognised we are playing some good football.We move the ball well and get through the thirds quickly, which results in us getting our creastive players on the ball higher up the pitch.
"There is a real togetherness within the group and it's something that we want to keep building on."
Fleetwood Town U18 vs Accrington Stanley U18 on 16 Nov 19

Japanese diplomacy in China, there is another point of divergence which makes the lack of understanding more apparent than real. In the democratic country with the Monroe doctrine theoretically accepted, international dealings have naturally to be guided by popular desires and to administer to private interests. Even such a disinterested act as that of returning to China the over-received part of the Boxer indemnity was made an occasion for educating Chinese youths in American colleges, which, it was claimed, would eventually further the trade, as well as foster the friendship, between the two peoples. American diplomacy is, in this way, more a matter of home politics than an international affair, as some shrewd critics have asserted with regard to the Panama Canal toll question, the Jewish passport case, and the withdrawal from the six-power loan group. Japanese diplomacy, on the contrary, has been characterised by a bureaucratic secrecy, and a tendency to take the people into its confidence after the inevitable had been accepted. This was notably the case with the terms of the Portsmouth peace treaty and the so-called "gentlemen's agreement" to restrict Japanese immigrants to America. In fact, a few years ago an English journalist advised the Japanese neither to apologise or explain, but to carry on their plans silently and tenaciously, for the reason that the outside world would be sure to suspect, criticize, or even incriminate whatever they did, as a result of the important position which Japan had then attained in world politics. Hence, the more need of frankly telling the American public what the Japanese have seen and felt concerning America's policies in China.
The primary object of Commodore Perry's visits to Japan, sixty years ago, was to prepare an approach, an entrance to Chinese trade, which in those days was a goal of general European rivalry. This successfully accomplished, about thirty years later, General U. S. Grant, ex-President of the United States, cautioned Japan and China against the danger of becoming a common prey to foreign aggressors, which, he said, would be the result, if the two Asiatic peoples were not banded together for mutual protection. As late as the close of the Russo-Japanese war, there had been no single sign of conflict between American and Japanese diplomacy over the Chinese situation. As soon, however, as Japan inherited a part of the Russian lease of the Manchurian railway zone, a lease which does not expire until 1938, an anti-Japanese campaign was systematically inaugurated by the occidental press, which, in a more or less disguised form, the Washington government seemed to support. Beginning with the far-famed Rooseveltian pronouncement that "America must dominate the Pacific;" Taft's (then secretary of war) speech at Shanghai in 1907, which laid stress on the application of the open-door principle to the entire territories of China; Secretary of State Knox's proposal to neutralize the Manchurian railways by four powers, without consulting the wishes of the lawful owners of these railways; American support of a scheme to construct a new line of railway which would greatly reduce the usefulness of the Russo-Japanese line if the scheme was carried through; the newspaper agitation against the alleged Japanese rebate in Manchuria; the prominent part played by an American financier in the organization of the four-power group for Chinese loans, into which Russia and Japan were afterwards admitted with some difficulty; the recent withdrawal of the United States from the six-power group; and the independent recognition of the Chinese Republic by the Washington government in the face of an agreement among leading powers to act in unison in this matter-all these happenings seem to indicate that American diplomacy attaches more importance to China's welfare than to the interests and sympathies of other nations. Whether this attitude is attributable to a noble aspiration to help an under-dog, or to a practical desire for commercial expansion, its historical development, independently of its psychological value, is well worth our notice.
The traditional foreign policy of China was to set one strong nation to check another. It was in accordance with this principle that a triple European interference was invited at the close of her conflict with Japan. Again in the RussoJapanese war, China hoped for a chance of recovering her lost rights in Manchuria without fighting. Should this plan fail, the late Li Hung Chang's shrewdness foresaw the possibility of driving out the two aggressors by means of the influence of the United States. This idea is referred to in his interesting diary while being welcomed in America on his way home from Europe. Washington diplomacy, on the other hand, readily embraced the opportunity of removing the offence it had given to China through the exclusion act, and of improving American trade with her vast population through various means of befriending China or of thwarting other powers. The gallant American now found an upper-dog in Japan, who had been an under-dog with regard to China and Russia. Hence the inevitable result of America and Japan becoming at cross purposes over China's affairs.
American diplomacy has ever been welcome and successful where the abstract principles of humanity and justice are concerned, and when it has been free from the bare suspicion of self-seeking. This was notably the case in the timely declaration of the open-door policy in China and her territorial integrity-as also in inviting Russia and Japan to come to terms after their sanguinary struggle. In matters touching the practical interests of other peoples, however, American diplomacy would seem sometimes to put other nations into an attitude of mutual sympathy and common defense, and to weaken their respect toward the Monroe doctrine. For it is on the implicit understanding of America's non-interference with other continents that the continental republic is left free of outside interference. But the United States of America has now secured the necessary stepping stones (the Hawaiian Islands, Guam and the Philippines), across the Pacific Ocean to reach China and claim a due share of influence over her destinies. It is impossible to reconcile two such contradictory measures.
In order to make its position tenable in world politics, American diplomacy must needs choose between the horns of an awkward dilemma. It must either sacrifice the Monroe doctrine, or restrict its application within a much smaller sphere of influence, or return to its traditional avoidance of foreign entanglement by staying on the high plane of international morality.
Whichever general course America may eventually decide to take, it is evident to candid observers that America will not antagonize other powers out of a Platonic affection for China, that China realizes no nation but herself can work out her own salvation, and that Japan must be friendly with the teeming millions of China for commercial and other reasons. It would also be to China's advantage to utilize, at least for the present, the political and military supremacy of Japan in the Far East, as it would be Japan's wisdom to keep China always on her side. Commercial rivaly there is and will ever be, it is true; and some European or American business men, who have lost ground through German or Japanese competition in China, may continue to agitate against their rivals. But broad statesmanship discerns on the horizon unmistakable signs of a unanimous desire that all outside nations should coöperate for the peaceful consolidation of China's nationality, be it called a republic or a monarchical confederacy; and that, above all other things, America, China and Japan should work together for the preservation of tranquility on the shores washed by the Pacific waters. China with its dependencies is far more extensive in territory and far larger in population that the whole of Europe. Its social, political, economic, religious and racial differences may also be as great as those of Europe, or even greater. Its history is certainly much longer than that of Europe. It cannot, therefore, be through a recognition of this leader's republicanism, or that statesman's rule, or through the lending of money by a group of nations, or by private individuals singly, that the destiny of the four hundred million souls shall be guided from without. Each province, each dependency, each race of China is a problem by itself, which requires a life time's careful study. That person or nation who thoroughly understands China as a whole, not any one region or party, is alone entitled to a voice in the parliament of men for furthering the cause of China for the Chinese themselves.
SOME OF CHINA'S PHYSICAL PROBLEMS
By Charles K. Edmunds, Ph.D., President of the Canton
Christian College and Observer in Charge of the
Magnetic Survey of China Under the Auspices
of the Carnegie Institution of Washington
Physical well-being is the basis of national, as well as of individual life, in all its other aspects. China today faces an almost overwhelming gamut of problems, political, economic, social, industrial and educational. Many of them demand immediate solution, or at least, immediate attack. Some of the most pressing of these are what I would call physical.
There is not time, and I would not be qualified if there were time, to give anything like a comprehensive discussion of the various physical problems that China faces. But in journeying widely throughout China during the last nine years, I have observed some of the surface aspects of several of these problems. These I shall try to present to you chiefly by means of the photographs I have secured.
The primaries of an individual life are food, shelter and raiment. The primaries of a national life are these for all the people plus ways of communication and transportation.
The poverty of the people is one of the most striking aspects of life in China. Yet their industriousness is almost quite as striking. For most of them it is a tremendous struggle with no leeway. This results partly from the over emphasized necessity of producing progeny to do honor to the family ancestors, leading to the practice of early marriage and of polygamy, giving rise to over population without any disposition to migrate to less populated areas, nor indeed are there the facilities to do so or the knowledge of other parts that would invite such migration. These factors, combined
1 The lecture was illustrated by a hundred slides mostly taken by the author.


Will, his Mom,Sisters,Grandparents and his Dad.
Please just mention their names, ABBA knows the need.
16 . . . The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Do you have anyone in your circle of family and friends that is without suffering? No? Me either. It only takes a moment of reviewing the faces and all kinds of illnesses and hurts confront our peace. Trusting our LORD and MESSIAH is our hope, our sanity in this crazy, hurt filled world.
12 So then, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us, too, put aside every impediment — that is, the sin which easily hampers our forward movement — and keep running with endurance in the contest set before us, 2 looking away to the Initiator and Completer of that trusting, Yeshua — who, in exchange for obtaining the joy set before him, endured execution on a stake as a criminal, scorning the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Yes, think about him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you won't grow tired or become despondent.
247 days remaining after today.
I know no family that is without the need of prayer. So grateful that God is never exhausted with our prayers.

Ministry of Health: Updates to the IVF mix-up incident
To ask the Minister for Health what is the outcome of the Ministry's investigation into the IVF mix-up incident and what will the Ministry do to reassure patients, both local and foreign, that similar incidents will not happen again in the future.
My Ministry has completed the investigation into the IVF mix-up incident at Thomson Medical Centre (TMC). The investigators have concluded that the mix-up was due to lapses in procedures and human error.Assisted Reproduction Centres handle specimens from many couples. To eliminate the risk of any mix-up, they follow a number of procedures in accordance with international best practices. First, the embryologist will work on the specimens of only one individual or one couple, at a workstation at a time. Second, he will carefully label all the receptacles and instruments with the couple's or the individual's name. Third, he will discard the disposable instruments such as pipettes, after each use. This is to avoid any contamination. Fourth, at every critical step, a second operator will counter-check that the specimens are transferred to the correct receptacles.The investigators found that the TMC IVF Centre had deviated from some of these procedures. At the time of the incident, the embryologist was processing semen specimens of two individuals at the same workstation at the same time. The pipette used for transferring the specimen was reused, instead of being discarded after each step. Even though it was reused only for handling the specimens from the same individual, it unnecessarily raised the risk of human error. This was particularly risky as there was no second person to counter-check that the specimens were transferred to the correct receptacles at every critical stage. These lapses in procedure contributed to the occurrence of a human error, and both led to the IVF mix-up in this case.Following this incident, my Ministry has directed all Assisted Reproduction Centres to strictly follow the correct procedures, if they have not been doing so. My Ministry has also suspended the operation of the TMC IVF Centre. The incident has no doubt impacted the reputation of the TMC IVF Centre and indirectly affected Singapore's reputation as a regional medical hub. TMC has been responsive and has cooperated fully with my Ministry in the investigation. They are determined to recover from this incident. The key is full disclosure of the facts and immediate correction of any systemic inadequacies to ensure that similar errors will not recur. This is the way to regain patients' confidence and trust.

This is the Singapore Ministry of Health updates to the IVF mix up that occur at Thomson Medical Centre. It has impacted Singapore as a regional medical hub status but we are determine to learn from our lesson as a nation.
Jurong Point Rewards Queue System
Is Singapore ready for a gracious society? I think we are still not that ready after seeing an incident unroll at Jurong Point Customer Service Centre. A man has queue at the customer service centre to get his rewards. The staff inform him that he need to purchase something more in order to get the rewards. He continue his shopping and return later to the staff to exchange the rewards. The staff inform him that he need to queue again. He insist not queueing again as he had done it before. The staff insisted he do it as it is not fair to the others who are in the queuing system. The security guard was call in to control the situation. In additional, he customer also want to complain to the management that she is rude to him. I think the staff did the correct thing to control the situation.
Whenever shopping centres come out promotion, queue cannot be avoided in order to get the rewards. Sometimes information on how to fulfill the rewards or promotion is not available in the shopping centre but at the customer service itself. We also queue and the staff inform us that we need to NETS $100 to get a $10 voucher. I still need to NETS $30 more to qualify for the voucher and so we went shopping again and requeue later to get my voucher.

"We held the 8th meeting of our joint committee with the Verkhovna Rada in Western Ukraine – Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and the Carpathian region, and focused on the issues which are of particular importance for the people living in these areas: regional economic development, including with the help of the EU through cross-border cooperation projects with EU countries, minorities, decentralisation.
We reiterated our unwavering support to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, condemning Russian aggression in the east of Ukraine and illegal annexation of Crimea. We regretted the lack of progress in the implementation of the Minsk agreements, and called the Russian Federation and the separatists it backs to fully honour their commitments. We encouraged the Ukrainian MPs to prolong the Donbas special status law expiring on 10 October 2018. Taking into consideration the upcoming elections both in Ukraine and European Parliament, we discussed with our counterparts in the Ukrainian Parliament the achievements which, in our view, should be consolidated and the shortcomings that can still be overcome in the next few months, while acknowledging and welcoming the progress made in numerous areas.
In this respect, we encouraged all sides to step up efforts in order to adopt the new electoral law in second reading as soon as possible. We also expressed hope that the renewed Central Electoral Commission will swiftly enable the local elections planned for the autumn to take place, to ensure the further continuation of the highly positive decentralisation process. We stressed that the good achievements made in the field of anti-corruption should not be jeopardised by attacks on the independence and doubts about the integrity of these institutions, and that the High Anti-Corruption Court should be swiftly set up. Regarding the implementation of the Association Agreement, we highlighted the need to tackle in priority a few areas which are crucial for the modernisation of the country and for attracting foreign investments – such as taxation, customs, intellectual property rights and transport.

Nuno appointment confirmed.
Chairman Daniel Levy: "First of all, I'd like to welcome Nuno to the Club. We should like to thank our supporters for all their patience throughout this process. I've spoken already about the need to revert back to our core DNA of playing attacking, entertaining football and Fabio and I believe Nuno is the man who can take our talented group of players, embrace our young players coming through and build something special."
IMO, the reason why Nuno was appointed. Levy: "No money to spend". Nuno: "Okay, no problem!"
I think Kane is a goner!
Guest, June 30, 2021
So it's finally happened and as I have said I will give him a fair chance.He is not my choice as I don't believe he will play the football we want to see but I may be totally wrong.But can any one believe the bull **** that Levy has come out with about out talented players. Who is he trying to fool or is this his not too subtle way of saying we ain't going to buy much in the transfer window.I now want to see some serious movement of players in the next month both in and out or we will be struggling at the wrong end of the table and then this charade will start again.By the way while this is happening United have signed Sancho for 73 million .How come they are not affected by covid
Preed, June 30, 2021
Club posted a short Nuno video on Youtube and quickly removed it. Not sure if anyone managed to see it. In it, Nuno seems to be re-assuring himself, repeating "We're gonna make you proud!". He also said that "it's an honour to be here" while shaking his head.
Kind of funny though. Maybe that's why they decided to remove it.
Nuno on a 2 year deal isn't bad…it could have been so much worse. He has acknowledged that we need to get to work quickly which is good. His favoured formation is 352, I hope he uses that.
I'm terms of Kane, I still think if we can get Laporte, Jesus and £100m then we should take it. We desperately need a CB and Laporte is one of the best. Jesus would be a really capable replacement and can easily play one of 2 upfront.
We would then have any money we can make from sales along with some of the £100m to try and pull another 4 or 5 players.
Let's hope that we can now sell Dier, Sanchez, Aurier, Lamela & Winks pretty rapidly to get some funds in.
THFC, June 30, 2021
The way you describe it is a little out of context with the interview.
Here is a link to the interview and he moved his head in that way all the way through:
http://www.tottenhamblog.com/2021/0...-first-interview-since-tottenham-appointment/
I believe that no matter what happens, we will see improvements over the last couple of seasons in terms of performances and morale.
Guest said: ↑
The appointment of Nuno marries in with what we are right now. A level 3 manager with a level 3 side trying to break back into level 2(top 4). Poch and Jose level 2 and conte would have been level 1.
Its another counter attack style which does not fuss me one bit as neither it did previously under JM. The transitions will be quicker, the pressing more intense with more players involved in the counter attacks with third and 4th man runners rather than kane and son working off scraps or individual brilliance. Nuno teams often press for more goals rather than sit back and protect. I don't think kane is dependent on which manager comes in that will more than likely come down to the ego of levy as we seem with refusing to sanction alli to PSG which probably cost Jose in the dressing room. If it's a 352 I'm looking forward to seeing two strikers in tandem one of which kane although I'm not against selling if we get the right deal and all funds along with other players go into the transfer pot as levy promised the other week 200m plus Laporte and jesus is a great deal including other outgoings winks, sanchez, aurier, sissoko, dier, lamela and moura. This system will be perfect for reggie, sessegnon, gio, tanguy and the front two. Add a right wing back, centre half, centre mid and another CF its the making of a good 11. The squad will be thin with so many outgoings so we would need to avoid injuries and throw the conference league and use youngsters in the early rounds of cups with very little rotation in the league. Big links now with julien kounde, aarons and tomiyasu. Ings or bellotti only a year left on thier deals be good cheap 20m options up top. Pellegrini centre mid captain of Roma 12 month left only and 24yrs old. Milenkovic of fiorentina around 15m with great potential and comfortable in a back 3 likewise ac Milan centre half Romagnoli left sided centre half. So many bargains out there with dwindling contracts so probably not a better time to sell kane and other flops in the covid era with so many clubs without and in need of money. The problem being rather than sell off our deadwood cheap to get them off the wage books, out the door and free up space for incoming on a proactive manner levy will play hardball and the manager won't have time to get his preffered targets.

I'm happy with the Nuno appointment he's a man with a plan who is experienced and has done well at 3 different clubs.
It's clear that there's still people who can't grasp the reality of the situation we are in regards to how average this squad is and void of quality/direction.
They'd hate Conte because he'd upset the wastrel loser players and their weak mentalities, so this appointment makes sense if we're to start yet another project.
Still he won't be good enough for the Poch fan club who are still stuck in 2017 unable to understand what's happened since and why they're living in cuckoo land.
Felon82, July 1, 2021
You are out of context, I'm afraid because it's not the interview I was referring to. It's back on Youtube now. Morale for the young players will improve, I'm sure. We'll probably get more of Winks! Performance?
Guest, July 1, 2021
There will be no change in performance... results perhaps... the reactive defensive counter attacking style will very much remain the same
Nuno is Jose Lite... although admittedly a much nicer fellow at heart
Jose's Ghost, July 1, 2021
This is an awful appointment from a board that has clearly lost its way
Nuno has been available for close to six weeks yet we bring him in just a few days out from preseason... that's all you need to know
A return to the club's DNA? what a load of tosh
Where do I sign up for ENIC Out?
My apologies, I thought that was the one you meant
THFC, July 1, 2021
He does mention very similar things and has a speaking style that seems to mean he is shaking his head at all times which is a bit random
Fabio Paratici has said ""Our key points for this season would be to come back to discipline, to work physically hard, to develop our players, our young players and Nuno is very good in this job. He did a fantastic job at Wolverhampton in the last four years, developed a lot of young players and we have to remember players like Pedro Neto, Diogo Jota, Adama Traore and Raul Jimenez, attacking players who were not so famous before coming to Wolverhampton. Also, he adapted a lot of players for his system. Before Wolverhampton he was in Porto and played another system, 4-4-2, and in Valencia he played 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1, so he has this kind of open mind about different systems and players, which is one of the reasons that we chose him"
I don't think we can argue with that and Fabio has lots of experience that we will benefit from.
Time to get behind Fabio and Nuno and hope we have a good year.
Now for some player sales and new signings!
Can you share the link to the one you are referring to as would like to watch.
I've watched:
Fabio -
Nuno -
Cant find much else yet
At what point does Paratici mention anything about a return to the club's core values of playing attacking football (as outlined by the chairman at the end of the last season as being imperative)? Formation for the most part is secondary to tactical philosophy... quoting formations means nothing in itself
He doesn't mention attacking football because he knows Spurs fans aren't complete fools
Nuno is from the Jose school... he will tell you that himself
After rightfully complaining all season about our dreadful approach these last two years I'm surprised to see you embrace this as if you've forgotten all the dross that's been served up and are ready for more
Jose's Ghost, July 1, 2021
a return to the club's core values of playing attacking football
Over the past 2 decades we've only been anything serious of an attacking footballing side in about 6 of out of 20 years.
Both Arry & Poch with about 3 each, who both coincidentally were at the club when we had more than just 1 or 2 great players.
This incessant harping on about attacking football is more a rose tinted mythical scenario.
You're only as good as the talent you have available and their level of ability to play the game, which currently the squad is stockpiled with poor to average players.
10 or more players need moving and improving on.
I think Paratici has experience (based on the very little that I know about him and from what I have read) that has helped build Juventus into one of the strongest sides in Europe consistently.
In terms of Nuno, I don't think it's fair to judge him as he hasn't started yet. There were times when I've watched Wolves over the past few years that they have played some really good football so I am keen to see his approach and how we play before passing any judgement on him.
I wasn't keen on JM but gave him the chance to show how he had changed etc…the fact was he hadn't changed and reverted to type, which is why I wasn't happy with him.
What I do know is, I really did not want Southgate or Martinez so this is better than it could have been at this stage.
Guesty Guest
I'm happy that the search is finally over. And as noted above....that it isn't Southgate or Martinez!
I will back Paratici & Nuno and give them a chance. Whether DL splashes any cash will remain to be seen. hopefully Kane will stay....and equally hopefully we aren't waiting for his sale before we bring in some much needed quality. We have a few we are interested in.....and if we can get rid of Winks to Villa that would be a start
Doherty will be an interesting one. If we play 352 will that improve him? (and return him to the player Nuno had at Wolves)
I did watch Nuno's statement but I never really read too much into those as day one excitement is always positive.
It will be how the players react. If they get behind him as a squad that will be a better sign. Hopefully the early training sessions will show the players are up for him....and the season ahead
we can only live in hope!
Guesty, July 1, 2021
Spurs enduring ethos to play with style and entertain is well established regardless of whether certain managers have failed in that regard over the years
Attacking football is a philosophy distinct from how good you are... you've seen a Championship side like Leeds embrace it... does it honestly need be said Spurs are good enough to do likewise (as was blatantly evident to anyone paying attention at the end of last year)?
I don't want to hear the chairman proclaim how important our history is and then turn around and piss all over it in desperation as he has done once again
I'm not sure why you're happy either... we sacked your golden boy Jose and replaced him with a B grade version of himself... the definition of insanity
No matter the manager I'd say that the squad is not good enough to have a good chance for top 4, my concern for the coming season is that maybe the neighbours will overtake.... They've had even worse transfers than Spurs for a couple of years but their youth-development wasn't put on hold for a couple of years and now they have some good talent pushing for starts.
From what I've read then this new manager seems to prepare well. He seems like a good manager, the question is what he can do with the current squad. Top 6 & maybe some exciting cup-runs.

CBD Mango Haze is a sativa dominant hybrid (80% sativa/20% indica) strain bred specifically to capture a 2:1 CBD to THC ratio while still retaining potency. This dank bud is a backcross of the delicious Mango Haze strain, and offers the user an average CBD level between 8-12% and a THC level between 6-8%. However, some strains of CBD Mango Haze have been recorded with an even higher CBD level, upwards of 15%. Users describe the CBD Mango Haze high as one that is incredibly mind opening, leaving you uplifted, euphoric, and insanely happy with tendencies towards introspection and mindful thinking.
If you sit down while smoking this bud, prepare to be couch-locked before falling into a dreamy thoughtful state in which you are still functional, but completely pain-free and relaxed. Due to its high CBD level and potent effects, CBD Mango Haze is typically used for treating patients suffering from inflammation, muscle spasms, Multiple Sclerosis, and chronic pain. This bud has a delicious aroma of spicy sweet peppery mango and a taste of sweet mango and pineapple that turns to spicy black pepper upon exhale. CBD Mango Haze buds have long, pepper-shaped neon green nugs with orange hairs and a visible sticky layer of resin.
Made a fabulous batch of cannabutter with these sweet, sticky buds. Very pleasant, clean tasting with no mouldy aftertaste. Nice gentle high, very effective against body pain, as well as creating a general sense of mental well-being and yes, happiness and euphoria while not interfering with ability to function. Consistently good quality at Leaf2Go, and standard delivery arrived in Winnipeg in 2 days.
If you are looking for a strain that really relaxes without much THC high, this is one you need to check out. It has lots of CBD so can help with many medical or psychological challenges. I have been looking for a high CBD strain with enough THC to give a little—just a little—lift and feeling of well being. This fits the bill. It's vey well balanced. I am ordering more right away because it is going to be a go-to. True to reputation, Mango Haze tastes great and smells great too. You can't miss the mango. CBD Mango Haze provides a very pleasant and functional experience.
This is the best CBD bud I have had the pleasure of imbibing. Taste better than any CBD bud I have had, smokes nice and the THC/CBD ratio is perfect for my ACMPR medicinal needs. Will purchase again. Nice work Leaf2Go!
Excellent product great high and functional for that day to day, great for when ur just trying to relax midday and still be able to go about ur day without that lazy high?? super happy! Will buy again!
So happy I found this strain. I have re-ordered this a number of times and have all been really happy with flower. Very sticky, great smell and it has a pretty good taste. Great for getting stuff done during the day.
Very functional high, definitely my daily driver. Light, cerebral high, fading to a soft body buzz that leaves your mood lightened, and productive.

Die Hofmark Hofgiebing war eine offene Hofmark mit Sitz in Hofgiebing, einem Ortsteil der Gemeinde Obertaufkirchen im oberbayerischen Landkreis Mühldorf am Inn.

Geschichte des Schlosses und der Hofmark
Die seit dem Mittelalter bestehende Hofmark gehörte zu Beginn des 16.Jahrhunderts dem kurfürstlichen Kämmerer Franz Gustav Freiherr von Gobel. Der Besitz ging auf Jakob von Frauenhofen, 1580 an die Edlen von Haunsperg, 1620 an Herzog Albrecht und 1627 an Friedrich von Hörwarth über. Durch Heirat fiel die Hofmark an die Fugger, die sie bis 1804 besaßen und danach an die Freifrau von Moreau weitergaben.

Im Jahr 1849 wurde das kleine Renaissanceschloss abgetragen, nur die freistehende Schlosskapelle ist noch erhalten. Das "abgegangene[s] Hofmarkschloss des Mittelalters und der frühen Neuzeit ('Schloss Hofgiebing')" ist als Bodendenkmal D-1-7739-0069 geschützt.

Our par 70 course has 9 greens and 18 tees and is 6053 yards in length. It is well maintained all year round with excellent greens and has hosted a county junior event which brought many commendable comments from the players and officials. The course is on normal greens all year round and very rarely closes.
The Haxey Gate Golf Course, is a private parkland golf course and the course boasts excellent greens and is well maintained. The course is set in an idyllic and peaceful location next to the River Idle. Adjacent to the course is the pub which serves food from 12 everyday.
Misterton Golf Club is not yet in our pool of Golf Courses for orders.


Travel is as much self-indulgence as it is self-care.
Away from routines and buzzing phones, a few days of nap-inducing massage, physical exercise, plenaty of sun and healthy eating is just what the doctor ordered.
Start packing and book the ultimate health and wellness vacation to rejuvenate your wellbeing.
Time to book the babysitter! Combining contemporary architecture and lakeside scenery, adult-only, 11-villa resort Tri Lanka might be the perfect retreat for jaded office cube-dwellers who sorely need some R&R (rest and relaxation, obvi), just to be distracted from their to-do list for a day or two.
The design-led interior, featuring cinnamon-wood cladding, natural granites and not a TV in sight, makes Tri a new breed of luxury that is uncommon in Sri Lanka.
The chefs here crank out bold and seasonal lake-to-table / garden-to-plate fare with organic produce fresh from their own farm. Make sure to pair it with a velvety glass of cabernet. Everything goes upscale at dinner when stars illuminate the night sky and a balmy breeze envelops you.
Oh, and that spa. Whatever you go to the Ayurveda spa for, chances are it will send you home with a wellness plan (yoga classes in the elevated shala above bamboo grove compulsory) that could be life-changing. Talk about nourish and juvenile!
One of Sabora's major selling points—and there are many at this string of lavish tents dramatically situated in the 350,000-acre untouched wilderness area of Grumeti Reserves—is how involved their guests can be in their underlying conservation efforts that serve the animals and the flora in the area.
Essentially, it isn't only a luxury safari vacation, but also sustainability project with firsthand planet-saving and do-gooding experiences for guests, from living by their zero-waste, zero-carbon living practices, to joining their community initiatives to support the people who live in and around the camp.
There are plenty of ways to shed the stress here even if you're not safari-inclined. Beyond the peaceful lodge spa, there is also mountain biking, forest walk and sunrise yoga (in the magnificent wilderness, no less), stargazing, tennis, archery, and a dip in the pool at the communal lounge on the itinerary.
Included in your booking are all meals, served overlooking the Great Plains of East Africa. The chef turns out health-conscious dishes made with the finest produce while wine and champagne flow freely.
For a truly stress-free retreat in gorgeous countryside, this beautiful 28-room Moroccan-getaway recasts a beautiful casbah with bold and colorful flair. From the wood ceilings, ancient chests, to ornately carved cupboards, every detail is done in true moroccan style.
It's hard to one-up the offer beautiful long hikes into the Atlas Mountains (or a ride around the resort and the nearby village with the hotel's recident mules), but the Asounfou spa is certainly in the running.
Experience the Moroccan cleansing ritual in the hammam for a deep cleanse, purify and soften the skin. Black soap is applied to cleanse the skin followed by an exfoliation of the whole body with a mitt. If that doesn't ease you back into the nine-to-five groove once you leave, we don't know what would.
It is hard to imagine anything more reinvigorating than a vacation at this out-of-this-world eco resort, huddled away on its own private island in one of Indonesia's newest marine-conservation zones.
One should take full advantage of the 13 crystalline beaches, a full suite of water sports on offer (and included in your booking, from paddle board, kayak, sailing, snorkelling, to boat trips around the lagoon, and all the wellness offering – treatments, yoga, pilates and meditation that take place in a a cathedral-like bamboo spa – which also make part of their all-inclusive package.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the days spent hiking untouched forests, open-air cinema screenings under the stars, stargazing and bird-watching.
The 35 villas are natural-luxe and the spa heavenly. As for dining, the nourishing cuisine is a medley of wholesome and creative courses, drawing on the island's own fruits and the vegetable garden.
Preserving the 300-acre area's habitat has been a priority for the resort. Life here is zero-waste, zero-carbon of course; luxurious baths are fed by filtered rainwater; toiletries are biodegradable; crops are sustainably and organically grown to provide a big enough bounty to feed all 70 guests.
A weekend at Paresa Phuket may ruin (or heal) you for good… once you get a taste of their wellness offering, from specialist treatments by a hydroponic garden, (beachside) yoga, reiki, meditation, to mind training from therapy professionals.
And the food is some of the best on the island, probably because the resorts use fresh ingredients in their seasonally-influenced cuisine, and that the sea-view setting is just so stunning. Once you tried it, your regular store-bought veggies and kitchen bar probably won't cut it.
They also have an excellent cookery school. The resort's passionate chefs lead Thai, Mediterranean, Japanese and Chocolate cookery classes daily. Those trips to local markets ripe with summer's harvest are a real treat.
Every time we are in Bali, time begins to slow down, and it feels like we are going home. Faced with sweeping Indian Ocean vistas, Ungasan occupies Bali's southernmost tip, atop a cliff in tranquil Uluwatu.
The resort has a few super-swanky big-gruop villas that come with their own staff and private chef, who won't allow you to lift a finger (unless it's to take a sip of your bespoke cocktails), making for the ideal place for a large family or group of friends.
On the itinerary: massages and facials at the Vela spa that is all about indulgence, sunrise yoga, bonfires by the sea at sunset, dishing up the freshest catch of the day.
Samudra isn't just a villa that looks great for a big group (up to 14); it is a dreamy holiday estate with separate pavililions, fully staffed, offering your own headland playground and private beach on Koh Samui.
Feel the stress begin to melt away the moment you arrive. At the end of the wooden terrace along the bedrooms lays the stunning Octagon Temple, an open-sided living area that offers spectacular 180 degrees ocean views and the natural breeze of the sea.
Professionals are on call to design an action plan for your, from detox, yoga, stress and burnout therapies, to fitness and weight control, this private rental sets you up for the ultimate way to disconnect from the stresses of every day and return home feeling brand new!

Q: can i create custom confirm box in pure javascript (without using jquery) work same as window.confirm? in confirm.js there is code like this page(http://www.developphp.com/view.php?tid=1385(dialog.js))
i want to do some operations in php (like deleting records from database & like submitting form) after clicking on yes button and after no it should return false
is this possible?

<form method="get">

                <input type="text" id="tbox">

                <input type="submit" id="sub_btn" value="Submit" onclick="return validation()">

</form>

A: No you can't exactly replicate the default confirm/alert/prompt prompts.
These block the javascript from running past that line until something is returned, which is not possible to do from javascript.
There are lots of custom modal dialogs out there, and to get around the fact that you can't block the javascript to wait for a response, they instead use callbacks.
You pass a function to the call for a dialog window, and this function will then be executed once the dialog window is finished.
Some examples out there are:
http://bootboxjs.com/
http://jqueryui.com/dialog/
A quick google will give you tonnes more.
I made one myself before purely from javascript as I didn't want to have css files. It isn't nearly as fully featured as others but it is purely javascript so here's a link:
http://heuuuth.com/applications/JamModal.html

A: No.
There is no way to create a dialogue in the DOM that will block the JavaScript event loop.
You have to stop whatever you were doing when you displayed it, and then have the options in the dialogue restart the process where you left off.

A: Hi my following comments were deleted. So now that I have found a solution I will give it to all of you below the comments:
I have created a custom confirm box code in pure javascript that looks and works great. It is too easy. But the problem is that if I have to take 2 confirmations from the user on the same web page, then I have to write separate set of functions(2 for each set with different function names).
I do not see how callback can help me to solve my problem. The callback function also gets executed immediately without waiting to check whether the user clicked on Confirm or Cancel button.
Can I pass the callback function name to another function that uses setTimeOut() and waits say 15 minutes for the user to click on Confirm or Cancel? On click of the buttons I can record the user's choice in a global variable and clearTimeOut() to execute the next part immediately. After 15 minutes if no user response is got then let it be treated as response Cancel which should be safe. Anyone wants to try and solve this?
I don't touch or read jQuery, Angular etc. Please leave me out of those discussions.
OK HERE IS THE SOLUTION. The main file is customConfirm.htm :-

<input type="button" name="b1" value="Delete" onClick="customConfirm(handleConfirmResponse,'Are you sure?');">

THE SUPPORTING FILE IS PopBox.js :-
var popBox, popBoxStyl, BlackRef, aWidth, aHeight;
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
function initializePopBox()
{
popBox = document.getElementById("popContainer");
popBoxStyl = document.getElementById("popContainer").style;
}
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
function finalizePopBox(tp)     // Height from page top
{
popBoxStyl.width = aWidth + "px";
popBoxStyl.height = aHeight + "px";
popBoxStyl.left = parseInt(  ( (document.body.clientWidth - aWidth)/2 )  ) + "px";
    if(tp)
    popBoxStyl.top = tp;
    else
    popBoxStyl.top = parseInt(  ( (document.body.clientHeight - aHeight)/2 )  ) + "px";

popBoxStyl.visibility = "visible";          // Nairit: So they are using .style.visibility = . Not .style.display = which I use normally. Learn this way.
blacken();
}
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
function blacken()
{
BlackRef = document.getElementById("blackener");

var ht = document.body.scrollHeight;                // document.body.scrollHeight > document.body.offsetHeight > document.body.clientHeight
var wd = document.body.offsetWidth;                 //alert(ht); alert(wd);

BlackRef.style.left = "0px";
BlackRef.style.top = "0px";
BlackRef.style.height = ht + "px";
BlackRef.style.width = wd + "px";

BlackRef.style.backgroundColor = "#000000";
BlackRef.style.opacity = "0.5";
BlackRef.style.filter = 'alpha(opacity=50)';

BlackRef.style.display = "block";
}
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
function hidePop()
{
popBoxStyl.visibility = "hidden";

BlackRef.style.backgroundColor = "#ffffff";
BlackRef.style.opacity = "1.0";
BlackRef.style.filter = 'alpha(opacity=100)';

BlackRef.style.display = "none";
}
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I successfully called the customConfirm() from 2 different places in the same web page. I had to pass 2 different response handler callback function name. Before calling the customConfirm(), I had to make global any variable whose value will be required in the respective callback function. But it is worth the effort ;-)

Frithugyth est une noble anglo-saxonne de la première moitié du . Elle est l'épouse du roi du Wessex Æthelheard.

Biographie

La Chronique anglo-saxonne ne mentionne Frithugyth qu'à une seule reprise, dans l'entrée pour l'année 737 :

Le compagnon de pèlerinage de Frithugyth, Forthhere, est l'évêque de Sherborne, dans l'ouest du royaume du Wessex. Ben Snook avance l'hypothèse que leur voyage à Rome ait pour but d'obtenir du pape la légitimation du mari de Frithugyth, le roi Æthelheard. Ce dernier est monté sur le trône après l'abdication de son parent Ine en 726, mais la transmission du pouvoir ne s'est pas faite sans heurt : l'année de son avènement, il doit affronter un ætheling nommé Oswald qui revendique le trône.

Hormis cette entrée laconique, le nom de Frithugyth figure également sur plusieurs chartes de son mari, où elle apparaît parfois comme co-donatrice. Des chartes de rois ultérieurs font également référence aux donations d'Æthelheard et Frithugyth. L'authenticité de toutes ces chartes, qui ne sont connues qu'à travers des copies tardives, est douteuse. Plusieurs d'entre elles considèrent un domaine situé à Taunton, dans le Somerset, et semblent avoir été forgées au  à l'instigation de l'évêque Æthelwold en guise de preuves que ce domaine est la propriété des évêques de Winchester depuis une donation originale qui aurait été faite par Frithugyth. Tout en reconnaissant que ces chartes ne ressemblent pas à des documents authentiques, l'historienne Barbara Yorke souligne que la reine Frithugyth n'est pas le donataire le plus évident qu'aurait pu choisir un faussaire et qu'il est possible qu'une tradition authentique repose derrière ces faux.

And change a waterpump. And change a pipe. I'd wager they could do it better than most "Jaguar Trained Mechanics" that the dealers have.
Between glass and seals may give a very, very temporary restbite. But, yes, fighting a losing battle.
I think it was a newish C class, but couldn't tell TBH. I only saw it in my mirrors.


I created "DrFunLoveTV" as a result of wanting to run games for the first BrigadeCon and needing a space to host them. Up till that point, I had been inspired by the many fine voices in the YouTube RPG Bridgade (the first iteration of the RPG Brigade) and decided to continue making videos after BrigadeCon. Many videos and nearly a year later, DrFunLoveTV was unceremoniously taken behind the shed and shot.
I had fun doing that channel. I also had a lot of stress – some of it is from the crrueeelll world being sow mean to widdle ol' me – but most of it was self-inflicted. Holding oneself to standards of a professional YouTube channel then turning around and saying you failed is self-sabotage and certainly not healthy.
It also became a matter of time investment. For me, creating even a simple video took a great deal of a limited pool of free time. I had to ask myself what I'd rather be doing: making videos or doing the various activities that led to me playing or running games? Ultimately, I decided on the latter.
That being said, DrFunLoveTV wasn't the end of my having a commentary space for the hobby.
Roll for Your Fate rose from the ashes of DrFunLoveTV. Currently it is a blog only, but in the New Year I may also bring video content back via a YouTube Channel of the same name. Making videos will be tertiary though to playing/running games and writing in this blog.
Speaking of the blog, I have to say I'm generally pleased with it. I am more enamored of its branding and I've been appreciative of a place to cogently collect my thoughts. I certainly feel more at home with words on the page than my mug on the camera.
I want to take the blogging further in 2016. I'd like to at least write an article a week, a modest but fair goal (bearing in mind that I am trying to manage my free time better). I have many, many thoughts swirling about my head regarding the hobby that I don't know where to start.
What do you think I should write about? Leave your suggestions in the comments.
I am happy to say that BrigadeCon 2015 happened and I participated. I played in Chepe's session of Ehdrigohr, a very interesting Native American-inspired RPG using Fate Core. I also ran a session of The Dresden Files RPG. My thoughts on both, and BrigadeCon 2015 are already here on the blog.
My hopes for 2016's BrigadeCon, should it happen, is more ENERGY. Maybe it was sophomore-itis or simply because the novelty of my first con had passed but I didn't feel as excited for this years BrigadeCon. I didn't feel the excitement from others in the community (with a few exceptions).
Let us all make 2016 a big year for BrigadeCon!
Inspired by a post on Facebook from Drive Thru RPG, I'd like to state my favorite game/system of 2015!
Fantastic Heroes & Witchery! This throwback d20 book has a fantastic presentation and nice, clean mechanics. It has everything I could ask for while allowing me to cut down on anything too clunky (as, like Fate, it takes a toolkit approach in a lot of ways).
Honorable mention goes to Lamentations of the Flame Princess. I like the mechanics for Lamentations less (I actually think they're too simple…my God what have I become!) but I LOVE the setting. I look forward to running my first Lamentations game very early in 2016.
Or goals…or things I want to do…whatever you want to call it.
The big one for me is pushing the game experiences I create fully into the realm of cause and effect, action and reaction. I want to sit down at a table with my side (the world and characters I've created) and the players side (their characters and the pasts they've forged) to spring board us into stories. I want to get to a point where I as the GM should never have to "plan" an event in the game world, but allow the plans of my characters and my players characters to create the events.
I also want to relax a bit. I am, as I suspect many of us in the community are, a bit of an obsessive compulsive. I get an idea in my head and I work it till it breaks or I do. Again, quite possibly not the healthiest way of going about things. It's on the list!
Anthony F., Chepe, Chris J., Dennis K., Ian C., Ian W., John L., Justin H. Lee P., Lloyd T., Lloyd G., Lloyd C., Mathew B., Michael W., Rob D., Tim O., and anyone else I played with this year but failed to mention. You're all awesome!
I have already begun 2016 with the start of a new, long form campaign set in what I am currently calling Magic Earth – an alternate world where magic and fantasy aren't just figments of our imagination. We've already had our Session 0 and Session 1 is next Saturday.
I also want to bring back the adventures of Alexander Blackheart and Kaden Nuru. I've been working to get my schedule to align with Dennis K.'s and Mathew B.'s. More prodding will commence in the New Year!
There will be more I'm sure: games to run, games to play, and blog posts to write. I look forward to a big year in 2016 and I hope you are too. Happy New year!


People are often surprised to learn that between 20 and 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. The majority of these losses occur early in the pregnancy, many before a woman even knows that she is pregnant. Most of these losses are due to random, one time, chromosomal errors in the embryonic DNA. Fortunately, such errors are unlikely to repeat and therefore, most women do not experience multiple miscarriages.
Amongst those women who do experience multiple miscarriages, a variety of causes should be explored. One potential cause for recurrent miscarriages is a structural abnormality of the uterus.
The uterus, or womb, is a highly functional, dynamic and resilient organ. To visualize, it can be thought of as an empty 3 walled room with all surfaces completely covered by a lush shag carpet. The room has 2 small openings at 2 of its corners where the fallopian tubes enter, and a one larger opening at the third corner which is the cervix.
1. Uterine septum- a septum is a remnant of tissue, leftover from the embryonic formation of the uterus. It can be visualized as a small wedge emanating from the top of the uterus. In addition to taking up valuable space inside the uterus, the tissue has a poor blood supply. This means that any embryos which implant within the vicinity of the septum will not be able to obtain the nourishment they need. Eventually, this increases the chance for miscarriage.
2. Uterine fibroids- Fibroids are benign muscular tumors that are very common. Up to 50% of all women have at least 1 fibroid. Most fibroids do not cause any problems with reproduction. However, if a fibroid is protruding into the uterine cavity, it can disrupt implantation or continued gestation.
3. Polyp- A polyp is a soft rounded piece of tissue which emanates from the endometrial lining. The vast majorities of polyps are benign, but can potentially be detrimental to an embryo due to either physical disruption or through inflammation.
4. Scarring- Scarring inside the uterus, is different than most people's perception of scarring. Within in the uterus, a scars typically extend between two or more walls, this condition is sometimes called Asherman's syndrome. The scar tissue distorts the space within the cavity and prevents proper implantation. Scarring usually occurs following uterine surgeries such as D and C's, miscarriages, or infections.
Fortunately, each of these issues is surgically correctable. Using a long thin camera equipped with an operative port, called a hysteroscope, any of the above abnormalities can be identified and repaired. Theses surgeries are all minor procedures which take less than an hour and require minimal recovery time. Most importantly, they may reduce the risk for another miscarriage significantly.
If you have questions about miscarriage or any fertility treatment in general, feel free to contact us, we'd be happy to chat with you.

This collection of dresses in a Moroccan ethnic style are done up in solid color crinkle rayon. This fabric gives them an especially fine drape and flow. The dresses are styled with a slenderizing flat center panel, gathering at the bust that creates a lovely flowing fullness, a very flattering square neckline, wonderfully deep side pockets, long wide sleeves.
This timeless dress can be modified so many ways to suit your needs. One option is to take a triangular scarf and use it as a belt, tied at the waist with the point of the triangle at one hip. Or try it layered with one of our batik jackets.

This is my Osmanthus Goji Berry and Coconut Jelly for Chinese New Year. This recipe shows you how to make layered jelly that looks super impressive, and tastes great. This jelly is considered a dessert, but it's a very healthy one. Osmanthus is a flower that is used as a tea which improves your complexion, goji berries have lots of anti-oxidants, and coconut milk helps boosts your immune system! It's a win win!
So, it's almost Chinese New Year. A time of celebration, seeing family over dim sum, receiving/giving our red pockets, trying to remember all the sayings when wishing someone good luck, and fighting in the supermarket to get the best cut of BBQ pork for dinner. Among all that chaos I wanted to make something chill and refreshing (literally!) Which is why I coming up with this osmanthus goji berry and coconut jelly recipe.
The first failure was when I used chrysanthemum tea instead of osmanthus tea. It tasted pretty good, but it wasn't what I was looking for. So, I had to go out and search for the right tea. The second attempt got me closer, but left me a little bitter. Mainly because I used way too much of the osmanthus petals resulting in a bitter flavour. The third one tasted fine, the issue was how it looked. I was in such a rush to get everything filmed, that I didn't allow the coconut to properly set, and the tea cool before pouring onto the first layer. This caused the coconut jelly to melt, and mix with the osmanthus tea creating a cloudy look.
So, for my last attempt, I took my time and patiently waited for everything to set and cool. Which resulted in a beautiful layered jelly of golden tea and red berries. Perfect for Chinese New Year!
The best part of this is that even though this is a dessert, it's actually quite healthy. Osmanthus tea has been known to improve your complexion, and helps rid your body of nitric oxide. Goji berries can boost your immune system, assist in curbing your hunger, and has lots of anti-oxidants. Finally, coconut milk has healthy fatty acids which help protects your body from infections and viruses! It's a win win!
For those who are vegetarian or are vegan, you can substitute the gelatin with something called agar agar. It's a plant based gelatin that produces a very similar texture to the jelly. It's used in a lot of Thai foods and desserts.
I hope you give this a try! This dish is very easy to make and also very good for you. So there no reason why you shouldn't make it.
For the coconut jelly, start by dissolving the gelatin in hot water. Next pour the milk into a small pan/pot over medium low heat. Add the sugar along with the gelatin and heat up till it starts to simmer and everything is dissolved. Give the coconut a taste, if it's too strong to your liking then you can add some milk to water it down.
Once you got it to your liking, pour the mixture into a small baking dish and chill for 2-3 hours.
When the jelly is set, we'll move onto making the osmanthus jelly. We start the same way as the coconut, we dissolve the gelatin in some hot water. Then, in a small pan/pot we add the water, tea petals, goji berries, gelatin mixture, and white sugar. Get it to a simmer over medium low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Pour the tea into a container that's easy to pour and let it cool until it's just a little warm. This could take about 30 minutes.
After, grab a spoon and the coconut jelly. Carefully hold the spoon upside down over the coconut jelly, and slowly pour the osmanthus tea onto the back of the spoon. This will help reduce the harsh pouring and prevent any mixing between the two ingredients. Place it back in the fridge and let it chill for another 2-3 hours.
Once it's properly set and chilled. Take the container out, and run a thin spatula or knife along the sides to separate the jelly. Then lightly dunk the bottom of the container into a bath of hot water for 30 seconds. This should loosen the bottom, and the jelly should come right out when you flip it over a cutting board.
Cut the edges off with knife, making sure to wipe the blade after each slice, and saves those yourself. (Chef treat!) Cut the rest into equal squares, flip them over so that the osmanthus is on the top, and serve!
