After trying to unlock my own SPV C600 (ORANGE) and succeding i found out that it was very vague. There were no good step by step guides on how to do this. And so i compiled a little Step By Step guide my self. It consist of 5 simple steps and everything that you will need is included in the attached file. Just read the howtounlock.txt and follow the instructions.
This might work on a C500, not sure can't really test, but you can try it, i think it is similar. I cannot garantie anything though, use it at own risk.
Every step has been successfull for me except for the last one, when I run SPVServices I get the following error message "Failed to create empty document". I'm running Vista x64, could that be affecting it?
Yes, do you have an XP machine kicking around you can use?
do we need dot net framework for this to work?
Thank you very much you guide worked without a problem.
Just read the howtounlock.txt and follow the instructions.
If it's obvious what I'm doing wrong, please let me know!
Just tried it and WinRAR opens it no probs, try using that instead of WinZip.
SPV-Services won't run on Vista so make sure you have an XP machine handy.
it has succeeded." Do you copy it to the phone? I put in My Documents on my phone and tried to run it but it says "There is no application associated with "EnableRAPI". Run the application first and then open this file inside the application".
I have just joined this forum when i try to download the link (SPV C600 unlock) it ask's me for a password, i tried using my logon password but this did not work.
You need to be logged on to the forum before you can download the file.
worked perfectly - had to find an old computer with XP as rumours say Vista won't work.
This worked like a dream for me. As with the other posters, I unlocked the Orange SPV C600 using a PC running on Windows XP which had Net framework installed.
Well done kirilltch, worked perfect! A very good guide, Thanks.
I had UK Orange unlocked to use UK Vodafone, no probs.
Hello and thanks for this - however SVP-Services has expired as a website. Is there any other way to change these settings. I raelise it's an old thread.
same here.. any alternative to unlock SPV C600 plz??


After a weird night camping in Oregon, my soul sister and I realized our absurd infatuation for fabrics - an unrealized art form in my opinion. So when the opportunity was granted to take a fabrics styling course in Florence, there was no chance I was passing that up. Although I can conclude that I'd rather decorate my walls with silks than design the silks themselves, my Lavender Lady was born in that fashion studio and now lives permanently on my skin.
Inspired by the relationship between Mother and Earth – Woman is Nature, and Nature needs Women. Thank you for our birth. Thank you for our life.

It's the season for daylilies, those exuberant orange trumpets waving to us from roadsides as we drive past, or tangling in blowsy abandon in our yards. Many people don't know that each blossom only lives for one day (hence the name), but this gives the flower a special poignant beauty.
Years ago, I began the daily practice in daylily season of gathering one blossom shortly after dawn, when it was only barely beginning to open, and placing it in water on my altar. All day I watch the gradual unfurling–until dusk, when it curls in upon itself and fades. What a gentle reminder to appreciate momentary beauty while it lasts!
Even if you don't have a cluster of daylilies in your yard, you can enter into the spirit of this meditation by finding a photograph or painting of this sunrise/sunset flower and putting it where you will see it often, a memento of the sunny summer days–and of their brevity.
As if the daylily's cheerful beauty weren't enough of a feast, did you know you can eat the unopened buds, treating them as you would asparagus or green beans?
Here's a great couldn't-be-simpler recipe to celebrate the brief beauty of the daylily, to enjoy on these days that are still longer than the nights.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the daylily buds and other ingredients, and saute until tender.
Adapted from my magical seasonal cookbook, Witch in the Kitchen (Inner Traditions, 2001).

The post-Trump era in U.S.-China relations has begun
By DAVID WERTIME
The United States is as vulnerable as your host can remember it, with a populace riven by partisan anger and often, drunk on disinformation. The president is distracted and the heads of the Defense Department and Homeland Security are manned by stand-ins. While Chinese propagandists are making hay at American division, it seems China won't exploit this moment to make a military move on the self-governing island of Taiwan, an action some analysts have openly feared this juncture might bring. China, after all, has its own distractions; despite a growing economy, it's undergoing another massive Covid-19 lockdown in two major cities near Beijing.
While major last-minute moves requiring any of Donald Trump's attention are unlikely to materialize, what's left of his administration are making 11th-hour appeals to keep their fingerprints on U.S. government policy following what they now all acknowledge is their imminent exit. Attention is fast turning to who will populate President-elect Joe Biden's China team. With less than a week to go before Biden's inaugural, it's clear that the post-Trump era in U.S.-China relations has begun.
TRANSLATING WASHINGTON
The Biden administration has selected its "Asia Czar," albeit under a different name. Former State Department diplomat Kurt M. Campbell will join the administration as Indo-Pacific Coordinator at the National Security Council (NSC), which fills the "Asia Czar" role Biden's team has contemplated. The Financial Times reported Tuesday that Ely Ratner of the Center for a New American Security is also likely to join the Department of Defense in a senior role, while Rush Doshi of the Brookings Institution (and a frequent quotable presence in this newsletter) is likely to join the NSC as a China Director.
— Look for deeper and more coalitions with this team in place. Campbell and Doshi co-authored a Tuesday article in Foreign Affairs focused on Biden's core foreign policy theme: building partnerships to blunt China's rise. The essay calls for the U.S. to be "flexible and innovative," focusing not on "a grand coalition" but on "bespoke or ad hoc bodies focused on individual problems." They cite in particular the proposed D-10 — an alliance of the G7 democracies as well as Australia, India and South Korea — and the "Quad," an informal strategic group comprising Australia, Japan, India and the U.S.
In his waning days in power, Pompeo dials back restrictions on U.S. engagement with Taiwan. Outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo might not be welcome in European capitals anymore, but he still has power over his own bureaucracy's machinery. He used it to controversial effect on Saturday when he announced that so-called "contact guidelines" about U.S. engagement with Taiwan were "null and void." The guidelines are intended to keep U.S.-Taiwan contacts from looking too much like bilateral relations with any other country; for example, they restrict where U.S. officials can meet with Taiwanese counterparts and prohibit them in the State Department or the White House.
— The news has divided China experts, some arguing the last-minute move uses Taiwan as a pawn and leaves the Biden administration holding the bag for any Beijing blowback, with others saying it's overdue. Taiwanese officials and diplomats quickly praised the move. President Tsai Ing-wen has so far remained silent, although a spokeswoman, Kolas Yotaka, pointedly wrote on Twitter that "the 'likely to anger China' takes [are getting] a bit old. For Taiwan the priority isn't to avoid upsetting others, it's simply being recognized as an equal."
— The guidelines have been on the chopping block for some time, says Gerrit van der Wees, a former Dutch diplomat who teaches about the history of Taiwan at George Mason University. He tells China Watcher that "there is pretty broad consensus — certainly in Congress — that the guidelines had outlived their usefulness. For several years, Congress has been urging the administration to lift the restrictions." But it could have been done with less fanfare, says former U.S. Ambassador to China Winston Lord. "This should not have been pronounced as a new policy, but rather incrementally and quietly carried out de facto," he tells China Watcher.

Subscribe today to the unofficial guide for official Washington.
The U.S. has declassified its Indo-Pacific strategy far ahead of schedule. The (now lightly redacted) strategy, finalized in February 2018 and declassified on Tuesday, perhaps to pressure the Biden administration to continue much of it, has much with which the new president is likely to agree, including an emphasis on alliances and "free and open access" to the region. Its descriptions of China as a rising power seeking to disrupt U.S. alliances and own the technologies of tomorrow are hard to dispute. But as American Enterprise Institute research fellow Zack Cooper points out on Twitter, the emphasis on "U.S. primacy" in the region is a bit trickier — it's harder to define, and unclear whether that should be the goal or how it can be achieved.
After much urging, Twitter removed a post from the Chinese embassy in the U.S. that had declared Uighur women in Xinjiang "emancipated" by a terrifying government program that includes compulsory Party indoctrination, forced labor and, in some cases, forced sterilization. In addition to being false, the post was "a direct example of Chinese disinformation with the intent to skew public perception in the United States," says Alicia Fawcett, a freelancer on Chinese disinformation and information operations who earlier authored an Atlantic Council report on Chinese discourse power. While those up to date on China may find the tweet entirely unconvincing, "Chinese government messaging about the so-called 'emancipation' in Xinjiang ... has the ability to imperceptibly impact Twitter users in the United States," Fawcett says, noting an "illusory truth effect" whereby "repeated statements are more likely believed to be true whether or not the fact is legitimate." Fawcett advises Twitter to move beyond labeling government accounts to include labels like "reference check" or even "humanitarian crisis."

Translating China
For sale: a (once) priceless artifact of American Democracy. On shopping site Taobao, multiple ads for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's speaking podium, briefly pilfered by a trespassing mob, made the rounds:
POLITICO Screengrab by Shen Lu via Taobao.com
It was part of a predictable field day that Chinese state media had with the storming of the U.S. Capitol. The Beijing-backed tabloid Global Times crowed that it was "the nation's Waterloo." Netizens called it a "world masterpiece" and authorities scrambled to exploit the event, according to a Friday analysis in Foreign Policy by writer Tracy Wen Liu. "A reporter from Chinese state media shared with me the guidelines she received on how to report the Capitol riot," Liu wrote. "She was told to focus on how the United States' global reputation would be damaged and deteriorated in her article, mentioning how world leaders were shocked by this insurrection and were concerned about their alliance with the United States. She was also asked to write on how democracy could be hijacked by a group of uneducated people and how democracy could only be realized when the population is highly educated — and that China's current education level is not suitable for democracy."
Twitter's suspension of Trump's account somehow united Chinese nationalists and dissidents, China Watcher contributor Shen Lu reports. Influential propagandist Hu Xijin, who edits the nationalist tabloid Global Times, interpreted the move as an ideological "Civil War" and used it as a prime example to argue the demise of democracy and American hypocrisy. "Freedom of speech in the United States is perhaps being redefined, or perhaps its true meaning is finally surfacing: voices that support me politically should be fully free, and voices that oppose me politically and whose values are the opposite of mine should be restricted and are inferior," Hu wrote on Weibo. Wang Dan, a leader of the 1989 student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square, tweeted: "It seems that to people on the left, the words 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it' are nothing but a lie." Dissident-cum-artist Ai Weiwei also read it as an attack on freedom of speech, comparing Twitter's action with students purging of teachers during the Cultural Revolution.
Beijing tries to push back on U.S. restrictions with a new rule. On Saturday, China's Ministry of Commerce issued an order preventing Chinese firms from following foreign rules that "improperly prohibit or restrict" Chinese people or companies, like, say, contemplated U.S. sanctions on tech firms like Huawei. Julia Friedlander, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council who focuses on sanctions, says Beijing is "attempting to replicate the EU blocking statute," which tries to protect EU entities by prohibiting their compliance with U.S. sanctions on non-EU countries. But Friedlander tells China Watcher there's a lot of wiggle room. "Each case will be reviewed individually in line with Chinese interests," which provides "an 'out' when Chinese financial ties to external markets are simply too big to fail." The unintended effect may be to encourage Chinese firms abroad to become legally independent entities — and to make firms in China "conduits for illicit financial flows."
Key wrinkle in the new U.S. policy aimed at Communist Party members: Is it possible to leave? Freelance journalist Tony Lin wrote last week in Rest of World that following new State Department rules limiting Party members to short-term visas, Chinese nationals with Party "affiliations" keen to immigrate to the U.S. are wondering online if it's even possible to renounce them. The CCP is a giant bureaucracy and there's no clear means and proof of exit. Obtaining a "Certificate of Quitting the Chinese Communist Party" by paying Falun Gong-backed website Tuidang might be one successful form of costly signaling, but the U.S. has issued no clear guidelines on how and whether it's possible to leave the Party. Expect the incoming administration to do something to make this policy less bewildering, even if it means quietly scaling it back.
Hot from the China Watchersphere
Billionaire hedge fund manager says China will be the next global financial center. In an FT interview published Friday, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio predicts that China will eventually become "the world's financial center" because "throughout history, the largest trading countries evolved into having the global financial center and the global reserve currency." China watchers love to dunk on Dalio, who's certainly keen to keep in Beijing's good graces. Of course, that doesn't mean his argument is wrong.
— The bigger problem: the importance of the rule of law in modern financial markets. "A global financial center would require a free financial system, rule of law, and free flow of information. China is lagging behind in all of these," Johns Hopkins professor of Political Economy Ho-Fung Hung tells China Watcher. The result: "Wealthy elites in China, including families of the CCP leaders, are eager to park their wealth in offshore financial centers like Hong Kong and Singapore." Matthews Asia Investment Strategist Andy Rothman also points to the "absence in China of the rule of law" as the main obstacle to Shanghai or Hong Kong replacing New York. "What I do worry about is the risk that we take more steps to weaken our own advantages, such as the recent delisting of three Chinese telecom companies by the New York Stock Exchange, as well as Executive Orders banning Americans from investing in some Chinese securities," he tells China Watcher.

This is the best formulation your host has seen on the meaning of learning Chinese. Via Yale Law School fellow Yangyang Cheng in Wednesday's Guardian: "Understanding a foreign language is desirable, but takes resources that not everyone can afford. What is more important is the ability to hold foreign people in the same regard as one's own." This next passage should be pasted into a Peace Corps advert: "The end of the world does not arrive through water, fire, or the plague: it begins with the slow death of language, when words grow stale and complacent with power, when artificial boundaries between nations harden. A new order for our collective survival can only be birthed when we acquire new ways of speaking."
— More on this touchy subject: Do you need to know Chinese to study China? While it's considered impolite to test one another's Mandarin, China watchers generally view advanced Chinese as the price of admission to their informal club, according to an unscientific poll this newsletter conducted in July 2020. Most said it was very or "extremely" important to have advanced or at least competent Chinese. But this does not mean non-Chinese speakers cannot very meaningfully contribute.
The greatest threat to U.S. national security is coming from the inside, not China, Center for New American Security senior fellow Elsa B. Kania wrote Jan. 7 in Foreign Policy following the domestic attack on Congress. "America's approach to national security has been distorted in recent years by a pathological tendency to focus on threats from abroad at the expense of recognizing the risks and systemic failings at home," Kania wrote. "As one case in point, while Congress was being evacuated in the face of threats of seditious right-wing violence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, also known for trying to restore what he dubbed U.S. diplomatic 'swagger,' continued to warn about the threat of China and celebrate achievements of American diplomacy, tweeting about how Chinese telecommunications equipment 'threatens our families and our security.'"
— "I remain skeptical that the pursuit of "great power competition" can be sustainable, let alone successful, under current conditions," Kania tells China Watcher. The U.S. "cannot remain a great power — and a viable democracy—unless [it] manages to overcome threats from far-right extremism and white supremacist violence and terrorism." Kania adds that "those of us who study or specialize in U.S. policy on China must be mindful of ways in which our work and our field can be susceptible to exploitation as political debates on China become increasingly polarized. The tendency to blame and inflate the threats from a foreign 'adversary' can distract from recognition of the systemic problems and changes that must be undertaken domestically."

What's not to like about bacon in potato salad?
I love German potato salad. so when I was invited to a neighborhood barbecue, I decided to make it (even though it was 85 degrees out).
I apologize for the photo. I took it as I was literally running out the door to the barbecue. I wasn't even planning on posting this, but the people at the barbecue loved it, so here it is! It's a keeper, so next time I make it, I'll take a better picture. In the meantime, though, if you have a cookout to go to and want to take something satisfying and different, may I suggest this lovely potato salad with bacon and dill?
I found a similar recipe on the web for a warm potato salad with marjoram, but I love dill on potatoes and had some fresh dill hanging around so adapted it to my current pantry circumstances. I don't think it can be officially summer without some dill on the windowsill and in your potato salad.
We used to call that German Potato Salad. Double yum! Nothing better. My mother used to make several warm salads and they all included bacon!

About Anabranch
What You Need to Know About Alcohol Addiction
In 2019, 14.5 million people in the United States ages twelve and older had an alcohol use disorder (AUD), and each year the number increases. Alcohol use disorder is the term that encompasses alcohol addiction (also known as alcoholism), alcohol dependence, and alcohol abuse. It can be mild, moderate, or severe. It is not uncommon...
Addiction Is a Disease, Not a Choice
The question of whether addiction to drugs or alcohol is a disease, a choice, or a moral failing has caused much debate. Does a person make a conscious choice to become addicted to these substances? Is that choice the result of moral weakness? Or is addiction a disease that develops over time that the medical...

Earlier it was the check fraud, but now it is the Automated Clearing House (ACH) fraud that is giving sleepless nights to Banks and financial institutions. It is a growing threat to the industries. Majority of the ACH fraud were concerned with session hijacking and account takeover, international transactions, and B2C insider fraud.
Some possible means to lessen ACH fraud includes doing a thorough study. For instance, before associating with any external vendor, perform a detailed audit to establish the third party conformance. A vendor may lack the skill in combating ACH fraud. A few third party vendors are smart in managing their own business but may not have the skill or resources to deal with the security aspects connected with ACH transactions.
Institutions can fight ACH fraud through right training using effective and proven technology safeguards. Initiating wire transfer payments using dual control and implementing proven and effective technology safeguards could also be effective.
One long-standing best practice is to always commence wire transfer payments with dual control, in which one person initiates the transfer while another approves it. While this may not be feasible for an institution with limited resources, it is important for mitigating risks associated with transactions with immediate finality.

Q: From where I can find decent mage gear as a low-level character? Because wearing armor reduces spell effectiveness, it's recommended to wear robes and other mage-orientated gear when playing a pure spellcaster in Oblivion. I've played for hours now and have only discovered basic robes with no abilities.  The magical merchant items sell for thousands while my gold supplies are in low hundreds.
Are the any recommended quests with suitable rewards or some other specific locations?

A: You don't have any option besides looking for generic clothing and enchanting them yourself. This is the most effective way to get the best possible equipment for you.
Refer to the clothing list for choice items. Unlike Morrowind, every item has the same enchant value (I.e. you can't put better enchantments on an archmage robe than on an apprentice robe), so decide by item style. For info on how enchanting works, check the uesp wiki.
However, I wouldn't say the reduced spell effectiveness is a big factor, you only lose 5% effectiveness once you reach 50 in the armor skills and armor generally can hold stronger enchantments than clothing and protects you much better (you pretty much have to spend all your enchants on armor when wearing clothing or have to constantly keep a powerful shield spell up). Only go for clothing, if you want to do it for roleplaying or challenge reasons. It is much more optimal to wear armor.

A: Progressing in the Mages Guild questline is recommended since you gain spells and enhanced items as rewards — completing the Join the Mages Guild quest gives you Robe of the Apprentice and you gain a custom staff in the following quest, with more prices to follow.

To Win in Life
'…Run in such a way as to get the prize.' 1 Corinthians 9:24 NIV
William Arthur Ward wrote: 'Believe while others are doubting. Plan while others are playing… Decide while others are delaying. Prepare while others are daydreaming. Begin while others are procrastinating. Work while others are wishing. Save while others are wasting. Listen while others are talking. Smile while others are frowning… Persist while others are quitting.' To win in life requires three things: (1) You must start. That may seem obvious, but many of us are stuck in the starting blocks waiting for something to get us going. What has God called and equipped you to do? Step out and do it, and He will empower you! (2) You must give it your all. Divers in the Olympics don't save all their effort for their final dive. They concentrate on nailing every single one, increasing their chances for a gold medal. Don't settle for mediocrity at any stage of life (Philippians 3:14). (3) You must never quit. In the 1992 Olympics, Derek Redmond of Britain was competing in the 400 metre race when he suffered a torn hamstring and fell. As the other runners breezed past him, he began to struggle to his feet. His father, whose face was covered with tears, suddenly ran down from the stands to help him up. Slowly, agonisingly, they made their way around the rest of the track and crossed the finish line as the stadium in Barcelona burst into thunderous applause. Redmond didn't win a medal, but he won something more important-the respect of the world. The Bible says, 'Run in such a way as to get the prize.'

Insurance.com of Foster City, Calif., collected the data as people shopped for car-insurance quotes on the site. It used more than 300,000 submissions between January 2014 and February of this year to rank vehicles by the percentage of drivers who received tickets.
Sure, drivers get tickets, not cars, but if a specific model rakes up too many moving violations nationwide, it could become more expensive to insure.
The original article was found on MarketWatch.


Even though our significant others may accuse us of acting childish, let's face it: we're not getting any younger. At a time when our age-related contemporaries are contemplating Barcaloungers and big screen TVs, we're eyeing expensive sporting equipment, and figuring how to get approval to do an event in some far-flung locale.
In the final installment of our Kona conversations we talk with elite coach & athlete Jesse Moore and former WorldTour rider and current pro dad & marketer Lucas Euser about what motivates us to keep getting after it.


I am using the standard HaplotypeCaller/GenotypeGVCFs pipeline with the --includeNonVariantSites option.
I always get MQ0=0 for all SNPs and don't get it reported for non-variants, even if I add "--annotation MappingQualityZero" to both commands.
With UnifiedGenotyper, MQ0 values are reported correctly.
Also, with HaplotypeCaller, MQ is only reported for variants, not for non-variants. Is there a way to get this annotation reported for non-variants, such as with UnifiedGenotpyer?
I am using Version 3.3-0, but collegues have a similar problem with version 3.2-2.
To add to Sheila's answer, be sure to pass in the original bam file if you want to run VariantAnnotator to annotate read-related metrics. Note also that the HaplotypeCaller applies a filter to filter out MQ0 reads, so it's expected to always return a zero value since the tool never sees those reads.
Thanks for the answers. That works. Still, I would recommend you to remove MQ0 as a default annotation from HaplotypeCaller since it is very misleading.
The same is probably true for MQ (RMSMappingQuality). If HaplotypeCaller calculates it after applying the HCMappingQualityFilter, the reported value is misleading for many applications.
We are indeed considering removing MQ0 from the default set since it confuses people and does not provide useful information. Regarding MQ, that's a different matter. MQ is informative since it is the value that corresponds to the reads that HC actually used in order to make the call. If we were to report the MQ of all reads including those that were not used, that would be very misleading.
Quick update: we have removed MQ0 from the default HC annotations, so it will no longer be generated by HC unless requested.
While it might be sensible for many applications, I still find the behaviour of reporting MQ0 and MQ on the reads after filtering not totally straight-forward. For instance, in my understanding UnifiedGenotyper does not use MQ0 reads either, but it counts them in MQ0. I guess the difference is that there is no filter applied before.
This is important, also, because if I use VariantAnnotator afterwards it will use the same tag with the same description but counts all reads, not only the ones considered by HC.
@feilchenfeldt The definition of the annotation that is put in the VCF header is and should remain independent of what specific procedures may have been applied prior to the calculation. That's why it's important to understand that different filters may have been applied to the data, depending on the tool and/or what the user specifies in the command line. We can try to make this more obvious in the documentation, but we can't customize the header definition for every possible case.


A selfie mirror photo booth not only gives everyone the opportunity to get in the picture but also provides tons of fun and excitement during the reception. DJ FM offers this large mirror booth with a stylish gold-frame design so all of your guests can experience the fun of snapping a selfie with style. We set it up for you at a convenient location in the reception hall, people stop by to take a picture, and you get fabulous photo memories for your digital scrapbook.
Professional photographs of the bride and groom, wedding party, family and friends are an integral part of the marriage celebration. They give beautiful pictures to display and save to look back on fondly many years down the road. However, these posed pictures might not capture everyone or all the fun times you have at the reception after the wedding ceremony.
The selfie mirror photo booth uses high-tech digital equipment to make it easy for anyone to operate. The large touchscreen gives simple instructions so anyone from the youngest to the oldest guest can have even more fun. The booth also offers automated voice instructions to help family and friends plan their photo.
This is great for individuals, couples, and groups who want to share their happy time and a special message with the newly wedded couple. People can choose special templates, frames, digital stickers, and animations to augment their photo styles. They can even sign their name by hand to add to the wedding memories.
My friend and I had a hard time choosing a DJ as our budget was a little lower and the DJ services we were finding were a little more expensive than we wanted to pay. When we met with DJ FM, he definitely seemed like he knew what he was talking about when discussing Caribbean music and he was friendly during the initial meeting. He played most of the music we asked for, but not all of it and instead played things we hadn't asked for. Would definitely recommend to my family and friends.
DJ FM and his crew are absolutely amazing. We booked him for our wedding and he definitely gets the crowd going and make the reception run smoothly. He met up with us before the wedding twice and gave us suggestions that were really helpful! Communication is superb and this is definitely a vendor I will always have in my contacts to book for all my events in the future! Do yourself a favor book FM Event Productions their packages include everything you need: Uplighting, Photobooth, Gobo Monogram, Cloud Effect, Dance Floor etc for a great price! Thank you again DJ FM and team!
FM Event Productions delivers the fun Mirror Photo Booth to your wedding reception venue and sets it up for you in plenty of time before the guests arrive. You can use it to both inside or out in good weather and add a real sense of fun and excitement to your party.

Life Thoughts for the Church Year. "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?" (Isaiah 49:15) I answer "Never!" and I believe that is the answer God implies here. The bond between a mother and her unborn baby is so strong and so intimate that when that bond is broken by misfortune or by choice, there is no forgetting. But even if such a forgetting could happen, God never forgets us—never! Even those who are trying to forget a terrible choice, through repentance and forgiveness in Christ, can find themselves engraved in the palms of God's hands (49:16).

Key difference: The arrangement of atoms in a molecule helps determine its polarity. A molecule is said to be polar, if it has a positive and a negative charge. A non-polar molecule is a molecule with less charge.
In chemistry, polarity refers to the separation between electric charges of a molecule or its chemical group having an electric dipole or multi pole moment. Polar molecules interact through intermolecular bonds and hydrogen bonds. Molecular polarity depends on the difference in electronegativity between atoms in a molecule. Polarity, also determines a number of physical properties like surface tension, melting and boiling points, and solubility.
Polarity is expressed due to the differences in electro negativity of an atom. It gives a measurement of an atom to attract electrons in a bond of a molecule. The Pauling scale is used to determine the charge values. If the charge difference between the two atoms is larger than 1.7, then the bond will be ionic. For a bond to be a polar, the charge should not be greater than 1.7. Depending on the charge difference, the polarity can be changed. This difference may be higher or lower. The bond in the electron pair is pulled more by another atom, as compared to the already present atom which makes the bond. This results in an unequal distribution of electrons between the two atoms. Due to the uneven sharing of electrons, one atom will have a slight negative charge, whereas the other atom will have a slight positive charge. Now, the atoms have partial negative or positive charges. The atom with higher electronegativity gets a slightly negative charge, and the atom with lower electro negativity gets a slightly positive charge.
Polarity means the separation of the charges. These molecules have a dipole moment. The Dipole moment measures the polarity of a bond. Polar substances interact with other polar elements.
A non-polar molecule does not have enough charge. Non-polar molecules are distributed in a manner of symmetry and do not have a large number of electrical charges on them. When two atoms or two same atoms have the same electron bond between them, the atoms pull the electron pair. This pull helps them share electrons and this kind of bond sharing between molecules is known as non-polar covalent bonds.
Polar substances have a positive and a negative charge on the atom.
Non-Polar substances do not have large charges on the atom attached.
They have electrical dipole movement.
They do not have any dipole movement.
There is no charge separation.
They interact with other polar substances.
They do not interact with other polar substances.

Мелеагриды () — персонаж древнегреческой мифологии.

Дочери Ойнея, сестры Мелеагра, превратившиеся в птиц, оплакивая его. По Антонину Либералу, их звали Евримеда и Меланиппа, Артемида превратила их в птиц и поселила на Леросе. Согласно Гигину, это птицы цесарки ().

После гибели Мелеагра все его сёстры с горя превратились в птиц-цесарок, лишь Деянира (будущая жена Геракла) и ещё одна сестра Горга сохранили человеческий облик благодаря вмешательству Диониса.

Malaysia is one of the ASEAN region's top shared services locations - read more on what makes it such a popular regional hub.
Malaysia is one of the most popular countries for shared services and BPO operations in Asia. Since 2000, there has been a steady increase in both captives shared services centres (SSCs) and BPOs, while the ratio of captives has consistently been somewhat higher than for BPOs.
While the most popular service delivery locations in Malaysia remain the areas around Kuala Lumpur, expanding to Selangor, Penang also rates highly for captives. Although overall there are more captives than the BPOs, more states have an outsourcing footprint than a captive one. Indeed, a number of states offer only BPO or ITO centers.
The market is still predominantly driven by transactional processes, with only 5% of centers offering high value processes alone (meaning treasury, R&D, analytics, human capital management, etc), but nearly a third offering a mixture of both.
Malaysia's overwhelming strength is its languages. As a result, it operates more as a regional hub than a domestic model, providing services to business customers across the broader region. It also has a significant segment of SSCs that service global customers.

Oklahoma earthquakes caused by oil drilling
Sunday, August 17, 2014 by: J. D. Heyes
Tags: oil drilling, earthquakes, Oklahoma
https://www.naturalnews.com/046484_oil_drilling_earthquakes_Oklahoma.html
(NaturalNews) In recent weeks, residents of rural Oklahoma have been experiencing something on a regular basis that used to be quite rare: the rattling and booming roll of the earth.
In the first week of August, Reuters reported, residents of Guthrie, which has a population of nearly 10,200 people, felt five earthquakes shake the town, which is about a 30-minute drive from Oklahoma City.
One of the most recent quakes shook the area shortly after lunchtime, an event that was duly noted on the "QuakeWatch" application that a number of residents have downloaded to their smartphones. The local paper now runs a weekly column providing updates and details related to the recent quakes.
"It feels like the earth is opening up and you are falling," said Tami Boxley, an employee at a local U-Haul rental office. "It's scary."
Since January, there have been 292 recorded earthquakes that have registered at least a magnitude of 3.0 or larger, officials said -- more than any other state in the continental United States. That is almost triple the 109 felt last year, Reuters reported, adding that, through 2008, the state averaged less than two quakes per year.
'The houses are bouncing'
Why the change? Reuters reports:
The unprecedented earthquake activity has put Oklahoma in the center of an emerging debate over whether the disposal of wastewater from oil and gas production triggers earthquakes. It has prompted enactment of broad new rules that go into effect Sept. 12.
"The houses are bouncing. It is frightening," Matt Skinner, spokesman for the Oklahoma Corporations Commission, which regulates oil and gas work in Oklahoma, told the newswire service, who added that his home itself has suffered quake damage.
The state economy relies heavily on oil and gas production. Seventy of Oklahoma's 77 counties produce crude oil and natural gas, and there are 4,500 disposal wells around the state that handle the industry's wastewater. And there is at least some scientific evidence that suggests -- but doesn't prove -- that wastewater injection near fault lines may cause earthquakes.
Regulators and state officials have said they don't know if wastewater disposal wells, which can reach thousands of feet into the ground, are responsible for the dramatic increases in seismic activity, but as a precaution, they are hastily looking at every well and have even shuttered some of them.
"We are looking at these wells and going over them with a fine-tooth comb... looking for anything that might trigger seismicity," Skinner said. "We can't leave anything to chance because something is happening here that no one understands."
Rules that go into effect next month will require well operators to produce daily reports on the volume and pressure of wastewater injection; this is a change from monthly reports, which were previously required.
Reuters further reported:
Many wells must have seismic monitoring equipment, and testing of certain large disposal wells now must take place annually, instead of every five years. Regulators also can require testing of any well, large or small, at any given time.
Now come the lawsuits
Officials are sending inspectors to wells to check and ensure that the pressure and volumes of wastewater injections are being kept within regulatory limits. So far this year, regulators have shut down at least 10 wells, and as of this writing, one of them remains shuttered.
"If a well has a minor infraction or anomaly, it is no longer minor. They are shut in until they are fixed," said Skinner.
As state scrutiny increases, so, too, has legal action in the courts. On Aug. 4, one woman from Prague, Oklahoma, filed suit against New Dominion LLC and Spess Oil Co., blaming them for injuries that she suffered when a fireplace in her house fell apart after a series of earthquakes of a magnitude of 5.0 or higher struck the community in November 2011.
The Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association and the Oklahoma Oil & Gas Association said they are working with regulators and researchers to gather and analyze data, and are not ready to say what they believe is causing the earthquake increase, Reuters said.

Egypt: Art at Villa Borghese's Egyptian Museum back in Cairo
ROME – Anyone calling the museum inside the Egyptian Academy in Rome to learn about its opening hours will receive the same answer: 'We are sorry, the Egyptian museum has closed'. Employees also explained that 'the artifacts have gone back. It was a temporary exhibit'. The museum's artwork has been packed and taken back to Egypt, though it is still unclear where, in a without any clamour. This means that, for now, 200 original pieces of art mostly coming from the Egyptian museum in Tahrir square in the capital, are gone. They were brought to the Italian capital by ex-culture Minister Farouk Hosni after the renovation of the historic Egyptian cultural institution founded in 1929.
Back in 2010, the first Egyptian Museum in the capital was inaugurated with a lot of publicity by then-premier Silvio Berlusconi and former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
It is difficult to know why the unique art from the Pharaonic, Greek-Roman, Coptic and Islamic eras of which Rome was so proud has been shipped off to Egypt. According to Egyptian media, the decision was taken directly by the culture ministry with the objective of helping save Egypt's debt-ridden public finances. The new minister Alaa Abdel Aziz, according to the local Mena news agency, ordered the artifacts back in his efforts to raise money. Abdel Aziz was quoted as saying that since its inauguration 'the ministry has paid for all maintenance costs of the museum without benefiting from ticket sale revenues'. Access to the museum, however, has always been free not only to students and scholars but to all visitors. The Academy's director, Gihane Zaki, said that 'the exhibit of findings was temporary. Ever since its inception, the project provided for the art on show in Rome to return to Egypt after three years'.
