Chatty Kathy: August Photo-a-Day Challenge!!
Anyway, Ali and Kianna Rose have started this really neat thing called August Photo-a-day Challenge. It's where you take a picture of something each day for the whole month of August. Instead of posting your picture every day, you post them each week on a Friday. Get it?
Ohh, My favorite is Simplicity. Love the angle and the pearls!
I agree with Ali! The Simplicity one is sooo beautiful!
Actually, you do do it each day, but you just post them all on Friday. But I think you could probably take them when you wanted!
Ugh, it won't let me reply to your comment!
I love your pictures, Kathyrn!!
Hey, Kathryn! I have a story contest on Dragonmaster. Go check it out!


Dearne Valley To Roost - Sightings, 20 Dec.
To Roost - Sightings, 20 Dec.
Sadly those beardies were elusive today, though fellow volunteer and all-round good egg Rob Robinson did spot a male bird near the Reedbed Screen this morning.
Seen briefly today were three goosander heading from Bolton Ings towards the river; a lesser redpoll that seemed not to have stopped on the reserve; and – just up the road, at Wombwell Ings – a marsh harrier.
Another tricky bird to find today was the recent green sandpiper. The field pool seemed to be its last known address, though it was by no means easy to pin down.
Lastly, the day ended with a small murmuration of around 2000 starlings. The birds gathered on the 'cowslip pylon' at 15:40 and put on quite an extended show before diving into the reedbeds to roost.
And, speaking of roosting, I'm off to re-charge my batteries tomorrow, so I shall take this opportunity to wish you a very merry Christmas!

WikiLeaks reveals Nigeria and SA's huge spend on 'weaponised surveillance malware'
By Jacques Coetzee: Staff Reporter
Read nextOn indie games and why I play them
WikiLeaks is at it again. This time round, the controversial non-profit went on record saying that German surveillance company, FinFisher, is responsible for selling "weaponised surveillance malware to some of the most abusive regimes in the world," including the South Africa.
According to WikiLeaks, some of FinFisher's clients include Pakistan, Qatar, Vietnam, Italy, Singapore, South Africa, Nigeria and many other.
WikiLeaks describes the German surveillance company as follows:
FinFisher (formerly part of the UK based Gamma Group International until late 2013) is a German company that produces and sells computer intrusion systems, software exploits and remote monitoring systems that are capable of intercepting communications and data from OS X, Windows and Linux computers as well as Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Symbian and Windows Mobile devices.
Specifically, the data states that South Africa — which allegedly purchased a total of 24 licenses from FinFisher between 2009 and 2012 — has spent €683 340 (R9 714 344) or €2 021 400 (R28 716 412) if we consider those licenses marked "deleted".
Nigeria, on the other hand, has allegedly spent a total of €703 740 on licenses from FinFisher.
It should be noted that the German surveillance company has been in the spotlight since 2011. The recent files, referred to as SpyFiles 4, include data that could help "the technical community build tools to protect people from FinFisher including by tracking down its command and control centers."
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who continues to spend his days in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, is calling the German government hypocritical in reference to its so-called opposition to the US National Security Agency. "The Merkel government pretends to be concerned about privacy, but its actions speak otherwise. Why does the Merkel government continue to protect FinFisher?"
Assange says that "more transparency is needed to hold companies like FinFisher to account, as well as the governments purchasing such equipment."
WikiLeaks estimates FinFisher's revenue from these sales to amount to around €50 000 000. Within the full list of customers, it's worth noticing that among the largest is Mongolia, which has been recently selected as new Chair of the Freedom Online Coalition.
South Africa and Nigeria are the only two African countries to feature on the list and they also the continent's current economic powerhouses. Neither government has commented on the leak so far.

Wellness Retreats NZ founder Melissa Carroll has learned plenty during her recovery from chronic fatigue, and that journey has led to a business that arms others for a healthier lifestyle. She shared her story with us, along with plenty of advice about how to stay well each day.
You experienced serious illness – what was happening in your life at the time?
Ten years ago I was bed-bound with chronic fatigue. I'd recently moved back to New Zealand from my OE. I was working for Top Shop and Top Man on Oxford Street in the heart of London, in graphic design. I loved the travel and freedom and the people I met, but I had to come home because my visa expired. I'd never really been a big fan of living in Auckland so I headed to Queenstown. I got a job in design there, but that's when things went pear shaped - I just completely crashed. It was almost like losing that vision. I went to school and university, got a job and went on to travel and then I came home. I'd always wanted to get into the wellness industry and study homeopathy and nutrition, but I just didn't know which avenue to take.
I guess taking myself out of the workforce and going back to being a student would have been a big commitment and I just kept putting that on the back burner, so I came back and got into what I knew, which was graphic design. Looking back it was totally my body just telling me I was on the wrong path. Back then I knew going through chronic fatigue and adrenal fatigue was part of my journey and was happening for a reason - and that a change was needed.
How did you take steps towards being well again?
The medical profession's answer was anti-depressants, which I wasn't interested in. I've always been open to natural health medicine because my parents grew up with homeopathy and they've always been very open and into health and eating well and keeping fit. I turned to natural health and self healing, reading and research. I had to leave my job and go on the sickness benefit. There was more money going out than coming in so I had to just put my life on hold and focus on staying present and nurturing myself and nourishing myself. I gradually got better and was able to go back to part time work, nannying for a family down there, and regained my strength. If only I knew then what I know now, I would have healed myself a lot quicker. I dabbled in a bit of yoga then but not to the extent I do now.
Since then I've had some pretty major chapter changes in my life. When I came back to Auckland I worked for a large advertising agency and got back into design, where I didn't really want to be, but a friend worked in the company. Then the opportunity came up to be the EA and event organiser so I stepped into that. When the recession hit I still had a desire to go overseas, so I went to France to work on superyachts. It was a great way to travel around the south of France and Europe.
But I still had that urge around health and wellness and I had the opportunity to go to Bali to manage a surf and yoga retreat – Escape Haven (then called Surf Haven). I'd never been to Bali before but I absolutely fell in love with it. It was fantastic for my health. I loved the heat and the energy from the place and it's so easy to eat well. Teaching at this retreat really opened my eyes and confirmed that it's this industry that I had finally found my passion for. I did yoga with the guests most days and that inspired me to my yoga teacher training. When we were based in Spain for a year I completed my Vinyasa Flow training during a month off.
How did you get the idea to set up Wellness Retreats and what's it all about?
At Christmas last year I moved home and I thought right, I have had so much freedom doing yachting and in Bali that I don't want to work for someone else. I applied for a few jobs but at the time they weren't looking for anyone and I had this idea of retreats and bringing together the practitioners that had helped me over the years. It all just happened organically. Kathleen Wills has been my doctor for many years and there's Erin O'Hara from Golden Yogi – I've found kundalini really energising for my health.
I've also had a lot of coaching with Louise Thompson many years ago and I now teach yoga for Louise at her business Positive Balance. I want to share my story and educate and help people through gathering together the key people that have helped me.
90% of my guests have never done yoga before, which really fascinates me considering I open with yoga and close with yoga. The retreats are educational days. I touch on my story and how that's evolved into the retreat days. People walk away with a toolbox to implement into their lifestyle. They get the recipes for the food they get on the day, like raw cake baking and vegetarian wholefood lunches. And there are products for sale on the day so they can start making the smoothies.
You get those little lightbulb moments during the day, with key points speakers make that people can bring into their daily routine. There are different themes. I have a core group of speakers and then the others change. It's like people's mini warrant of fitness each month – it's about taking a day out for yourself and taking off all those hats of being a mum or sister, employee or boss and all those things we do on a daily basis and tuning in to yourself, turning off your phone and taking off your watch.
Are more natural, eco-products part of a well lifestyle for you?
The sponsors that came on board with Wellness Retreats, like Ecostore, Ceres Organics and Nuzest, are all eco-friendly, natural and sustainable product makers. I use the products and back them 100%. I've always thought, you are what you eat. All the products I use are toxic free, as ecostore's are. I always use natural skincare, deodorant, toothpaste. That's just what I've always known.
Do you think our ever busier lifestyles have prompted a growing need for wellness?
One of my speakers last October asked how many people check their phone as soon as they wake up and the amount of hands that went up was unbelievable. When we didn't have smartphones we wouldn't check our email until we got to the office and we'd enjoy our drive to work. People are just constantly on their phone now and at the lights quickly checking Facebook. It's just being mindful and setting boundaries for yourself. I'm a one person band and I have meetings and emails, but I know my limitations with what I've been through with my health, whereas some people just keep pushing.
What do you do to build wellness into your daily routine?
I make sure Sundays are my no email, no phone day. And after 7 at night I've made a rule not to check my email, because I was finding my brain was starting to fire up again and I couldn't get to sleep. It's easy to just keep working, especially when you work for yourself you have to set that routine. I've got to make sure I'm giving a lot but filling my tank as well.
Sleep is also important – I do need my eight hours and it's setting those boundaries. I think being in touch with nature is important. I can tell when I've been working at the laptop too long and I just need to get out and be near the ocean and just feel what's going on, taking a beach walk and getting that sand between my toes.
It's just tuning out. And it's also gifting yourself – it's maybe not something massive every month, maybe it's just an aromatherapy bath or taking yourself to a restorative class or cooking a beautiful, nutritious meal. For people with kids it's taking time out to be with your children, taking them to the park or the beach.

Law and Lawyers in Nazi Germany
The eclipsing horror of the genocide committed by Nazi Germany between 1941 and 1945 can blind us to the facts that years of non-genocidal repressions preceded it and that lawyers were integral to the design and maintenance of the system. This talk reviews the roles that lawyers played in the Third Reich and highlights the all-too-ordinary motivations behind the choices attorneys made.

Q: The difference between Arrays and Sets in Kotlin Can someone tell the difference between Set and Array in Kotlin? Which one is better in which conditions?

A: Short answer: an Array is an indexed data structure holding a fixed number of items; a Set is an unordered data structure holding items with no duplicates.  Both are typed.
Long answer:
In basic terms, an array in Kotlin is like most other languages: a data structure holding values of the same type.  Arrays have a fixed length, are ordered, and accessed randomly by index (starting from 0).
An Array maps directly to a Java array.  This is the only data structure that the JVM provides, other than Object.  (In fact, array types are treated as special subtypes of Object.)  These are typed: you can have an array of a primitive type (e.g. an array of ints), or of a reference type (e.g. an array of Numbers).  The type is available at run-time, and enforced.  Arrays are treated as being covariant (which can cause run-time errors).
In Kotlin/JVM, Array inherits almost all those features (except for covariance).  It's used only for arrays of reference types; Kotlin provides separate classes for arrays of primitives (IntArray &c).
And in basic terms, a Set is like several other languages: an unordered data structure holding items of the same type, none of which are equal.
Set is an interface that's part of the Java Collections framework (which also includes Collection, List, and Map).  A Set value can point to any object implementing that interface.  It's generic, with a single type parameter specifying what values can be stored in the set; this happens at compile time (only).
In Kotlin, Set is covariant, and read-only; there's a MutableSet subinterface which adds mutator methods.  MutableSets are variable-size, and grow and shrink as needed.
There are many different implementations of the Set (and MutableSet) interface, with different performance characteristics: insertion, removal, and testing for presernce may be O(1) or O(n) or something in-between, and the memory usage and concurrency differ too.
Sets can be iterated, but the order is not specified in general.  (Some implementations may make guarantees about whether the order is consistent, and if so, whether/how it relates to the values and/or how they were added.)
So, which should you use?  If you need to prevent duplicates, then a Set is the obvious choice.  Whereas if you need the values to be ordered, then an Array would be more suitable -- though because it's not part of the Collections framework, it doesn't always play well with other collection types.  (Kotlin provides many extension methods to try to smooth over the gap, but there are still many corner cases.)  So in general, it's usually better to use a List instead: that gives you finer control over mutability, avoids some awkward situations (especially regarding type parameters), doesn't fix the length, gives you many more extension methods, and is one character shorter!

A: Set does not allow duplicate elements where arrays allows.It depends on the requirements.
If the requirement is to have only unique values then Set is your best bet as any implementation of Set maintains unique values only.

Most dogs love to eat. So if your furry companion loses his appetite or becomes a picky eater, there may be an underlying problem.
It could be his teeth: Your dog may be experiencing dental problems. His dog food may be too hard for him to chew - and eating becomes too painful. Try adding water to your dog's food. This will make it easier for him to chew. Also, check with your veterinarian, an oral exam can help determine if there is a problem with his teeth or gums.
Medical problems: There are many medical reasons why a dog stops eating. Problems with the digestive system, metabolism or even a virus can result in loss of appetite.
Emotional effects: Sometimes changes in a dog's environment can cause him to lose his appetite. For example, the addition of a new pet or a baby can cause emotional stress on a dog. Even moving to a new home can impact your dog's appetite.
Too many snacks: If your dog has gotten used to getting little treats under the table then he may not want to eat his own food - or he might be full. Make sure that no one in the house is feeding your dog people food at the dinner table - or in between meals. Not only is it unhealthy, but feeding him at the table reinforces begging behavior. Also, remember that even doggie treats can fill him up, so limit the number he gets each day.
Sneaking food: Sometimes a dog ends up finding other ways to fill his belly! Dogs may eat garbage, scraps or even steal food from countertops. Make sure that you don't leave food within your dog's reach, and that he isn't tearing holes in your garbage bags to steal a snack. Also, watch out for dog-friendly neighbors - they may think they're being kind feeding your dog, but it's not good for him.
To get your dog eating, offer him a dish of food but don't force him to eat. If you notice that he is not eating then take it away. Wait some time and then try it again. If your dog still hasn't regained his appetite after 24 hours then contact your veterinarian. A dog should not go without eating for more than a few days before he sees the vet. Also remember, that if your dog is not eating, it's essential to keep him well hydrated. So keep his water bowl filled and encourage him to drink.
Some dogs may become anxious when left home alone. Keeping the TV or Radio on can help your dog to remain calm while you run your errands.
Buying puppies online may be the latest trend, but you may be supporting the cruel "puppy mill" industry by doing so. "Commercial kennels" become "puppy mills" when animals are housed in inhumane and filthy conditions, offered little in the way of proper medical care and disposed of when they're no longer productive as breeding stock.
WHAT IS A 'PUPPY MILL'?
The appeal of puppies as a retail item goes back at least as far as the old song "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?" But cruelty in the high-volume breeding operations that feed the pet trade has been documented for decades.
While there are operations that practice husbandry at least as humane as that offered to livestock, other breeding businesses care little for their animals. And even the "good" commercial breeders do not offer what behaviorists argue is essential for a temperamentally sound family pet: constant in-house exposure to normal family life and gentle socialization by all manner of people.
"Commercial kennels" become "puppy mills" when animals are housed in inhumane and filthy conditions, offered little in the way of proper medical care and disposed of when they're no longer productive as breeding stock.
There's really no way to determine what misery may exist behind the puppy you're buying unless you investigate. At the very minimum, buy only from people who are happy to show you their kennels in person. Also from people who can show you either the Mother or the Father. Even better is when the puppies aren't kenneled at all, but raised and socialized in the house with plenty of love and care.
Also do yourself a favor and ask for references before you write that check for that new puppy.
It may sound strange, but the truth is that a lot of dogs exhibit coprophagy (eating feces). Whether it's their own feces or that of another pooch, some dogs just acquire this habit. But why?
He's hungry: A dog who is hungry may choose to eat feces. This is especially true with dogs who are underfed or stray dogs who will eat just about anything to survive. Dogs with digestive enzyme deficiencies and those on certain medications will often be extremely hungry, also.
It's appetizing: Sometimes a dog does not always digest all of his food and so his feces may contain nutrients that are appealing to other dogs.
Incomplete digestion can happen with dogs that are overfed as well as with those who have medical issues that affect digestion.
He's Bored: A dog will eat feces because it's a habit that was picked up as a result of being bored. This is normally seen in dogs who spend a lot of time in kennels.
While coprophagy is usually a behavioral problem, there are some disease processes that can worsen the tendency. They include pancreatic enzyme deficiencies and diseases and medications that cause an increased appetite. Your pet should be examined by your veterinarian for any underlying medical problems.
Although this behavior is typical for dogs - it's not pleasant. The following are some suggestions you can follow to get your dog to stop eating feces.
Deny access: Always take your dog out on a short leash, and immediately clean up after him.
Change his diet: A diet change is helpful for some dogs. With the permission of your veterinarian, try switching your dog to a high fiber diet.
Add ingredients to his food: There are several products that can be added to your dog's food that may make his feces less desirable. Please discuss any options with your veterinarian.
Train him not to eat feces: Try to train your dog to shake this habit. For example, when you let your dog out to relieve himself, watch from the window. As soon as he is done defecating open the door and wave a treat in front of him. This will train your dog to come inside as soon as he is done defecating – and will keep him occupied with something other than eating his feces.
Because coprophagy provides immediate gratification, it can be a difficult behavior to eliminate.
I had heard somewhere about raisins AND grapes causing acute Renal failure but hadn't seen any formal paper on the subject. We had her bring the dog in immediately. In the meantime, I called the ER service at MedVet, and the doctor there was like me - had heard something about it, but.... Anyway, we contacted the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center and they said to give I V fluids at 1 1/2 times maintenance and watch the kidney values for the next 48-72 hours.
The dog's BUN (blood urea nitrogen level) was already at 32 (normal less than 27) and creatinine over 5 ( 1.9 is the high end of normal). Both are monitors of kidney function in the bloodstream. We pl aced an IV catheter and started the fluids. Rechecked the renal values at 5 PM and the BUN was over 40 and creatinine over 7 with no urine production after a liter of fluids. At th e point I felt the dog was in acute renal failure and sent him on to MedVet for a urinary catheter to monitor urine output overnight as well as overnight care.

Q: Update my github repo which is forked out from another project I have forked out a Parent: project to Child: this. Now, I want to update my child with parents current updates. Can I do that, if yes how?
When I update my github repo, then I can do a "git pull" to update my local repo.

A: This can also be done simply on GitHub's web interface: issue a Pull Request but swap the base repo and head repo. If the pull can be performed automatically, it will be.

A: *

*Clone your repo to your local machine, if you haven't already: git clone git@github.com:utkarsh2012/voldemort.git

*Add the upstream as a new remote: git remote add upstream git://github.com/voldemort/voldemort.git

*With your branch checked out, pull the upstream into your branch, which will create a merge between the two sets of changes: git pull upstream or git pull upstream branch-to-merge. If you're working on an unpushed branch you can also use git fetch and git rebase to rebase your work without needing a merge.

A: You want:
git pull git://github.com/voldemort/voldemort.git

A: In your local clone of Child, pull from Parent, adding it as a remote if you like:
cd child
git remote add parent <parent-url>
git pull parent

The url of the parent could be the public github repo, or your local clone of it - the local clone will of course be faster. If you want to pull a branch other than the current HEAD of the parent repo, just add an argument (e.g. git pull parent topic-branch). If this is a one-time thing, you can just skip adding the remote: git pull <parent-url> [branch].
Pulling is a combination of fetching and merging, so once you've done that, you've got a new merge commit you'll presumably want to push back to your public repo at some point.
The key point here, in case it's not clear, is that pulling from the parent (upstream) repository is not  different from pulling from your public clone of child, your current repository. Either way, you're fetching from a repository with some common history, and merging that into your current branch. And of course, since you're merging, a work tree is required - so this is something that must be done in your local repo. The repo hosted on github is essentially a way of publishing what you've done locally. All you can really do with it is push/pull, and browse what's there.


"Dear Erika, I just wanted to say thanks for all your help, advice, spiritual enlightenment and emotional healing. Erika, you're so amazing! You've taught me and shown me so much about myself. You've helped me grow so much as a person spiritually and emotionally. Your sincere compassion and non-judgmental person has allowed me to open up and heal what I once thought would always be buried. Erika, I also want you to know that through your work (help), I've been able to reach out to many others and help them as well. If you could only see how enormous the light you have started is, you would be teary eyed amazed! Since we first began therapy my life has changed 180 degrees! Things just seem to get better, brighter on a daily basis. You may use me as a reference any time. Thank you once again for helping me find my inner happiness. I'll be in touch soon". -Matt C, N.H.
"Through C.O.R.E.™ Education with Erika, I've come to understand my true self. I am no longer trapped in patterns of behavior that trip me up and create conflicts in my every day life. C.O.R.E.™ Education is a real eye opener into our inner selves. I am evolving into a more aware person". - M.A. Windham, N. H. "I have seen several traditional therapists for esteem issues over the past ten years. They were not able to do for me what C.O.R.E.™ Therapy has done in five weeks; truly heal my inner child's wounds". -M. F. Mass.
"My thanks go to two people; first to my friend who gave me Erika's name and phone number. Then, to Erika herself, for searching and learning about C.O.R.E.™ Education and passing it on to all who are seeking answers to the way we respond to various situation in our lives. Conventional therapy did get me through a rough time; however, it was a band-aid and it didn't take long for some areas to resurface and cause unnecessary pain and hurt. Within a month of C.O.R.E.™ Education with Erika, I began to understand the "why" of my learned behavior. Having the tools Erika gave me, my days are more exciting. I know my growth is just beginning. Oddly enough, I have had two people tell me they have noticed a change in me. And I didn't think it showed! Surprise!" - M.A.M. N. H.
"After starting C.O.R.E.™ Therapy, my new mantra has been: "Confront, Validate and Heal." Confront your fears, validate your feelings, heal yourself. As a child I did not have the courage to talk about my feelings or fears. I never got to have my feelings validated and feel loved unconditionally. That child had remained inside of me without a voice for over 20 years until I tried C.O.R.E.™ Therapy. C.O.R.E.™ Therapy has provided the safe environment I longed for as a child. That 6 year old little girl was finally able to speak through me and allow me to heal, emotionally and physically". Thank you! T. T.... N. H.
"This is a letter to thank you for all the help you have given me and my brother. The first time I met with you was very profound! You helped me so much. My headaches left me. I no longer feel darkness. I wanted you to know how well my brother is doing! His cardiologist was amazed with his health when he returned home. Three years ago he was told he was terminal. He had only one artery left open in his heart. He was a candidate for a heart transplant. When he saw you he had high blood pressure. He couldn't walk. He had no will to live. After his initial meeting with you Erika, there was a profound change in his mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health. He now believes in God. He walks four miles a day. He is meditating. He is a new person. He wants to live. His cardiologist cannot explain what happened to his physical health!! He has new arteries in his heart! He is a new person. I hope he writes you. Thank you again Erika and I hope to see you soon. With gratitude and love", -B. M......N. H.
"Dear Erika: It has been a year and a half since I availed myself to your services. I must say it has had a profound effect in my life. If you recall, my motivation was to find peace in my life. There was much turmoil due to early retirement, health problems, marital strife, establishing a new business along with instant review of my past failures. Earlier you had helped both my niece and sister so while vacationing, they suggested I visit you. My heart has stabilized and I have now found more inner peace, thanks to you. I really appreciate your help. Please feel free to use me as a reference with that book you want to write or any other need." Regards -B. V. In.
"Reiki, in one phrase...change for the better. Reiki has opened doors of opportunity in my personal and professional life. Reiki has helped myself and others achieve a more balanced and better quality of life overall. If has given me the tools necessary to tackle life with the best outlook, to be non-judgmental, and to have compassion for all" -H. Perry N.H.
"Reiki has made me much more aware of a lot of things such as vibration, attitude, coincidences and human nature. It has fascinated me. I feel as though it has opened up my mind. I am more understanding to people's negative reactions. The simple power of touch and positive energy can really change lives. As an Esthetician, I use Reiki on my clients to perform the best facial massage. As a mother, I use Reiki on my children when they seem to be frustrated and cannot put their feelings into words. Every night before I fall asleep, I do Reiki on myself to better myself and to find that comfort of inner peace within. It is almost unexplainable, but an awesome experience I enjoy sharing with others". - Rosa D., Esthetician, Peabody, Ma.
"Dear Erika, I hope this letter reaches you in the best of health and spirit. I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how much you and the wonderful world of Reiki has changed my life. When I first met you in Jan. of 98, the pressure of being a single mother of two, opening an Esthetic School and clinging onto emotional issues from my childhood had me spinning out of control. It seemed like the faster I went the more ground I would seem to lose. At that time I believed that there was no hope of ever finding peace, just lots of stress, until I met you. I saw tranquility in your eyes and it made me want to trust you. I thank God every day that I did. When you started working with me, I began shedding layers of emotional luggage that I had been collecting diligently through my 39 years of life. Each time we dealt with one of the issues I had stuffed, the magnificient energy of Reiki would erase them one at a time. After working with you for about six months and becoming a Reiki Practitioner II, almost all of that heavy baggage is gone. I now credit each new day with enthusiasm and incorporate love and spirit in everyone around me. I believe I am at my best as a mother, teacher, Esthetician and friend. Every aspect of my life is rich in spirit and peaceful. Thank you so very much for guiding me into the warm tranquility I now posses. You will always be in my heart. - L. Burchi, N.H.
"As a Reiki Master Teacher, it is exciting to bring the Karuna® dimension of Reiki into practice. The symbols are powerful tools to be used with wisdom for the ills of humanity. When we can specify healing for this lifetime, past lifetimes, addictions, abuse issues, visualization techniques and so much more, it is indeed one of the most worthwhile modalities. In my 30 years of study, Karuna Reiki is one of the most exciting finds." -M. Lucas, Mass.
"I was diagnosed with ADHD many years ago. I could not focus in school, could not get out of bed, hated school and kept to myself. After I had hypnosis and started listening to the tape I found it easier to sleep the night, get out of bed, it was much easier to concentrate in school and my grades improved. I find it easier to make friends and I feel happier now than ever! Thank you so much!" Angela B., N.Y.
"I was not confident in school and found it hard making friends. It was difficult speaking up and asking questions. After my hypnosis session and listening to the tape, it was easier being around people and speaking up. I like school now and look forward to 8th grade." Mike N., N. H.
"I quite smoking and feel much better about myself!" Nancy W., N. H. "It was always difficult losing weight. I never stayed motivated long enough. I was surprised, but this does work. I dropped 15 lbs. so far and have no desire to stop! Thank you for your help and support." Kathy S., N. H.
"I have had numerous problems with my back. When applying essential oils to my spine, I found my back improved so much, that I was not even aware of the discomfort! I have had no problem since using them....Thank you"! S.D.......N. H.
"When my daughter ran a temperature of 102, I immediately applied Lavender and Immupower (to build the immune system) on her feet and spine. Within 30 minutes her fever was down to normal and she was sleeping peacefully. I find they seem to work on just about everything". E.J.......N. J.
"I had a terrible toothache and it just did not seem like it would go away. I applied Thieves (anti-bacterial and anti-infectious) to the area and immediately it got numb and the pain went away and never returned"! F.D.......N. H.
"Last Sunday evening while gardening, I accidentally brushed my arm on stinging nettles. Lavender was my first choice but it didn't help a whole lot. When I got home from work Monday, I applied Roman Chamomile and it did the trick"! Z. P.
"Where I live we are frequently bothered by mosquitoes, I found that after applying Purification to a bite (even if it has been scratched) the sting will go away in a couple of minutes. It also causes the bites to heal faster". A. J....CO. "My son had hay-fever so severe, he started to wheeze. I had him put some Raven on his lungs with a warm compress and within minutes, his airways started to open and his breathing became much clearer". J. D........N. H.
"My husband tripped on something on the stairs and his foot really started to bother him. To compensate for his sore foot, his knee started to bother him. I put some Pan Away, and Birch on the bottom of his foot and knee with a warm compress and within minutes, he stopped noticing the pain! My kids now know which oils they require when they have a cold or feel sore or in need to de-stress!" J. F. D......N. H.
(These are testimonials only...it is not to take the place of medical care when needed) "I have experienced and used numerous brands of essential oils. It is imperative that we use only 100% pure unadulterated essential oils for optimum health benefits..

Q: Dynamic array/matrix generating within formula The following formula:
=TRIM(A1:A20)

would make no sense; you typically should decide a column, write =TRIM(A1) on first cell and copy until =TRIM(A20) ... BUT ... suppose you want/need to use it having the resulting array/matrix "dynamically" within a formula, for example in this way:
=VLOOKUP("FindMe",TRIM($A$1:$A$20),1,FALSE)

is it possible (without getting errors)?
Thank you.

A: Yes. You'd simply enter it as an array formula*.
*Array formulas are not entered in the same way as 'standard' formulas. Instead of pressing just ENTER, you first hold down CTRL and SHIFT, and only then press ENTER. If you've done it correctly, you'll notice Excel puts curly brackets { } around the formula (though do not attempt to manually insert these yourself).

Der Verein für Rasensport 09 Stockach e.V. (kurz VfR Stockach) ist ein Fußballverein im südbadischen Bezirk Bodensee. Der Verein nimmt mit zwei Herrenmannschaften und mehreren Juniorenmannschaften am Spielbetrieb teil.

Geschichte und Erfolge

Der Verein wurde als Fußball-Club Stockach am 21. März 1909 gegründet. Bis 1945 war der größte Erfolg die Teilnahme an der Kreisliga Hegau, das entspricht heute der Landesliga.

Als Nachfolgeverein für den von den Besatzungsmächten aufgelösten FC Stockach entstand am 1. Mai 1946 der VfR Stockach. Im Jahr 1946 gelang der Aufstieg in die höchste südbadische Spielklasse, der er bis zur Strukturreform 1950 angehört. Der 1. Amateurliga Südbaden gehörte er 1951–1954 und 1955/56 an, deren Nachfolger Verbandsliga Südbaden 1989 bis 1993.

Tischtennis
Früher gab es auch eine Tischtennisabteilung im VfR. Diese fusionierte 2006 mit dem TTC Zizenhausen zum TTC Stockach-Zizenhausen, indem die Mitglieder den Verein wechselten.

Weitere Abteilungen

Da es 1946 nur einen Sportverein je Ort geben durfte, gab es anfangs neben Fußball und Tischtennis weitere Abteilungen. Turner, Handballer und Leichtathleten wechselten später zur wiedergegründeten Turngemeinde 1862 e.V. Stockach. Auch die Mitglieder der Skizunft gehörten dem VfR an, ebenso gab es eine Boxabteilung.

During a 16-year period, acclaimed author and documentary-maker Laurence Rees met and interviewed a large number of former Nazis, and his unique insights into the Nazi psyche and World War 2 received enormous praise.
The Nazis: A Warning from History is a 1997 BBC documentary film series that examines Adolf Hitler and the Nazis' rise to power, their zenith, their decline and fall, and the consequences of their reign. It featured archive footage and interviews with eyewitnesses and was shown in six episodes. The series was written and produced by Laurence Rees. The historical and script consultant was Prof. Sir Ian Kershaw, who also appears briefly in the "Chaos and Consent" episode
Laurence Rees is the writer and producer of the major BBC television documentary series World War II: Behind . I never thought, for example, when I embarked on Nazis: A Warning from History in the early 1990s that it would be the start of such a long journey.
Laurence Rees is the writer and producer of the major BBC television documentary series World War II: Behind Closed Doors, War of the Century, Horror in the East and Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution'. He won the British Book Award for History Book of the Year in 2006 for his international bestseller Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution'. Rees' career as a writer and filmmaker, focusing on the Nazis and World War II, stretched back nearly 20 years.
For this History channel tie-in book, Laurence Rees interviewed more than 50 people who were active participants of the Nazi regime. Author made claims that book is a warning from history about actions not to be repeated. I seem to feel it came off sounding sympathic.

The Nazis would later try to rewrite history to say that Hitler became Chancellor simply because it was his destiny, but in reality, Hitler had been. This series is the definitive television history of the rise and fall of the Nazis. Helped Into Power - How was it possible that a cultured nation at the heart of Europe ever allowed Hitler and the Nazi party to come to power? Chaos and Consent - If the Germans are famous for one quality it is efficiency. Yet the Nazi administration of Germany during the 1930's was characterized by radical chaos.
Following the success of Rees' bestselling Auschwitz, this substantially revised and updated edition of The Nazis - A Warning from History tells the powerfully gripping story of the rise and fall of the Third Reich. During a 16-year period, acclaimed author and documentary-maker Laurence Rees met and interviewed a large number of former Nazis, and his unique insights into the Nazi psyche and the Second World War received enormous praise. At the heart of the book lies compelling eyewitness accounts of life under Adolf Hitler, spoken through the words of those who experienced the Nazi regime at every level of society. An extensive new section on the Nazi/Soviet war (previously published in Rees' War of the Century) provides a chilling insight into Nazi mentality during the most bloody conflict in history. Described as one of the greatest documentary series of all times The Nazis - A Warning from History won a host of awards, including a BAFTA and an International Documentary Award.

An interesting review of one of the worst eras of humanity. Recommended reading ... the TV version is worth viewing too.

I have read 280 books on wwii and the Nazis. This ,by far, is the most interesting and best explanation Ihave ever read of the period covered from 1920 to 1946. It provides a strategic telling of the story along with many first hand experiences of individuals who lived through the many events described. I can really understand why the BBC chose to make this book into a program on their history channel. This book is in a class by itself and amazingly does this in less than 300 pages. You owe it to yourself to read this if you want to understand the whole time from 1920 to 1946.

Wonderful companion book to a wonderful 'series.'

Great job by the producers. Very real and chilling. I'm afraid though that mankind has not thus far shown that we learn from history. It is imperitive that we begin to.

For the serious history student interested in a quick cold-water style immersion in an excellent though disturbing look at the murderous excesses of the Nazi years, this startling book provides a sanguine, surprising, and totally readable overview of the brutalities, torturous acts, and murder accomplished by the Germans during their 12-year reign of terror, complete with hundreds of compelling photographs. Generated as a companion tome to a History Channel documentary, this is a good introduction to the scope and breadth of a mind-boggling range of Nazi atrocities perpetrated not only on European Jews, but also to the infirm, mentally impaired, and to anyone else they had motivation to exterminate. From the early acts of euthanasia of its own `infirm' and "undesirables" to the systeamtic and publicly witnessed clubbing murder of hundreds of Jews in the streets of 'liberated' Latvian villages, this is a journey into the belly of the fascist beast.
This is a cautionary (and absolutely historically accurate) tale, made especially relevant in the year 2000 by the recent "ethnic cleansing" barbarism in Bosnia and Kosovo, of what can happen when people begin to surrender to the worst impulses of the social realm, and decide to ignore, or stand aside, or to pretend they just don't see where it is all leading. It has something to teach us about the very real dangers associated with unleashing the politics of hate, of what happens when ordinary citizens let other groups break the law to bully and terrorize minorities, when we let the central Government get out of control. History, as told in this excellent book, can teach us about how easily we humans succumb to subconscious evil, and seem to passively slip, almost without really deciding to, down the social and political slope to easy excuses and euphemisms, toward depravity, torture, and genocide. This is a book I highly recommend, although given its provocative and graphic photographic contents I would use caution about limiting its viewing by younger readers.

With spectacles such as the Nuremberg Rallies, street marches and tanks rolling through the countryside, Hitler built his tiny party into a dictatorial state. He tells citizens that they are surrounded by enemies; they must form a strong military and strike to take what he tells them they need. Living room, farms to raise more food, factories to satisfy consumer needs, and oil to build a modern industrial economy- like the western powers. One cannot tell from the photos how much of the adulation was staged.
Weakened by government cutbacks, the winners of WW I (Britain, France, Italy & U.S.) were unable to enforce the peace treaty limits on combat ships, warplanes, and size of army. Chamberlain accepts Hitler's assurances regarding Czechoslovakia [with its' armament factories]- a tipping point passes. The book is not an examination of the fighting or Allied strikes. Instead, it focuses on the fate of the Brownshirts, Communists, religious factions and fire in the Reichstag.
Hitler was not an aberration. There is evil all around, wherever people are taught that they deserve to take what they want by force. -Who think nothing of enslaving others. That should be the lesson here; evil does not go away, just hides until the opportunity arises for it to control weak societies.

Most books on Nazism start at the top with Hitler and his regime and offer brief glimpses, if any, at what it was like for the common soul. This work takes the opposite approach, putting us in the shoes of the war's victims. We learn plenty about the doings at the top, but the focus is on individual stories, many of which will chill the reader to the bone.
I was a bit puzzled by the moralistic tone of the work, however. After all, few readers need to be told that the Nazis were bad and did terrible things that should never be done again. And a real anti-German animus pervades the book. The author points the finger of guilt at the Germans again and again, insisting that they were completely responsible for all that happened, and can make no excuses. Perhaps this is so, but I wonder what lesson it provides for the rest of us.

The Model-Based Approach: A Better Way to Forecast Enrollment
Clinical Development Strategy| Phase 3| Summer Weekend Read |
Written by Heather Struntz
To continue our Summer Weekend Reads series, Cytel presents "The Model-Based Approach: A Better Way to Forecast Enrollment." Please click below to access the full publication.
The clinical phases of drug development represent the eagerly awaited period during which, after years of research and development, promising treatments are now ready for volunteer patients. But these Phase 3 trials are not only the most costly and time-consuming period of drug development, they also have difficult odds to overcome – less than two-thirds are successful. And the most common cause for incomplete Phase 3 trials? Enrollment.1
Indeed, as many as 37% of trials miss discontinuity enrollment targets, and 11% fail to enroll a single patient.2
Conventional approaches to projecting patient enrollment, such as rudimentary forecasting through the use of spreadsheets, however, may rely on simplistic assumptions about trial performance, such as that all sites will be ready to recruit from the same start date or that patients will arrive in a linear fashion. With a conventional approach, it can be difficult to move beyond these assumptions. A model-based approach, in contrast, can allow trial sponsors to incorporate more complex assumptions into their projections.
The Model-Based Approach
The model-based approach differs in that it captures two realities of the enrollment process: nonlinearity and randomness. The process is nonlinear because, for example, sites may open at different times, and the rate at which patients enroll may accelerate as more sites open. It is random because different numbers of patients will be recruited at different times, simply due to chance.
A model-based approach can easily accommodate these two realities, and once the model is set up using relevant inputs (factors that will affect enrollment), trial sponsors can team up with statisticians to simulate virtual runs.
The Monte Carlo Simulation technique provides a range of possible outcomes of a number of virtual runs and their associated probabilities. Virtual runs can be repeated (such as, 1,000 times) with different values each time within the constraints specified by the previously determined relevant inputs. This range of outcomes can help make realistic forecasts about uncertainties in patient enrollment.

We present some images and videos of a second trimester fetus with sacral agenesis. 34 year-old obese patient presented at 23+5 weeks of gestation. Scanning revealed fetus of 22+5 weeks size with sacral agenesis. Subsequently MRI confirmed the findings. The patient was not diabetic (negative OGTT and HbA1c). One little myoma is still visible.
Images 1 and 2: 24th week of pregnancy. Longitudinal scans of the sacral region of the fetus showing missing caudal part - sacral agenesis.
Images 3 and 4: 24th week of pregnancy. Longitudinal scans of the sacral region of the fetus showing missing caudal part - sacral agenesis (image 3); and oblique scan showing part of fetal iliac wing and small uterine myoma (image 4).
Images 5 and 6: 24th week of pregnancy. Transverse scans showing abnormal iliac wings of the fetus.
Images 7 and 8: 24th week of pregnancy. MRI images showing sacral agenesis of the fetus.
Videos 1 and 2: 24th week of pregnancy. Longitudinal scans of the sacral region of the fetus showing missing caudal part - sacral agenesis (video 1); and abnormal iliac wings of the fetus (video 2).

WHO IS R. SCOTT LEMRIEL?
He is a friend (from far out of town or beyond Earth), who is helping humanity with the direct assistance of many loving associates not of this world to reveal deliberately hidden most ancient Galactic Alliance history, as well as the subconsciously suppressed ancient history of Earth, our solar system, and the true nature of a human being (the Atma or Soul). His direct experiences helped to confirm the depth of purposefully hidden truth he has uncovered and is continuing to uncover through direct experiences over 60 years Earth time - in contrast to relying upon misleading belief, theory or speculation. This involved benevolent and malevolent extraterrestrials, advanced inter-stellar technology, out of body experiences, thousands of journeys along the past time track, countless adventures into parallel and higher dimensional realities, and ever so much more.
HOW HAS THE PAST PROPHESIED DESTRUCTIVE DESTINY FOR HUMAN BEINGS ON EARTH BEEN PERMANENTLY CHANGED AFTER DECEMBER 21, 2012?
Living Mayan shamans, who know how to read there own calendar, call the end of the old calendar on this date and the beginning of a new calendar "The End Time." This has nothing to do with destruction of Earth or an Armageddon. The Mayan shamans are a simple people who know changes in their calendar prophecy with clarity. They state this change represents "The End Of Evil" as an experiment on earth. Something new that never existed in creation before revealed by R. Scott Lemriel resulted in the entirely unexpected, currently underway non-destructive human and planetary transformation that would otherwise have been destructive to planet Earth.
The entirely unexpected, uplifting transformation to all life on planet Earth quite recently began to be implemented (for now) behind the scenes on Earth, out in our Milky Way Galaxy, in the Andromeda Galaxy, and within many others galaxies. This cannot be reversed by any negative beings operating in or out of bodies, through the misuse of power or technology on Earth, or out among the stars by tyrant extraterrestrial races. They are undergoing changes now for the first time in galactic history to remove subconscious drives that have formerly compelled them to be tyrants.
The subconsciously suppressed true hidden 'Galactic Inter-dimensional Alliance of Free Worlds' history and a most important aspect of the suppressed ancient history of Earth and our solar system are disclosed in THE SERES AGENDA book & THE EMERALD DOORWAY (book one of The Parallel Time Trilogy), within the lyrics and melodic compositions of the available related MUSIC CD ALBUM titled, "Stranger On A Lost Island," during various RADIO SHOW interviews, as well as through CONFERENCES and promotional VIDEO PRESENTATIONS.
The special techniques revealed in THE SERES AGENDA can also be applied to the chapters in the THE EMERALD DOORWAY book for the benefit of the adventuresome readers to discover the way they can safely connect to 'The Source' or 'Prime Creator' or the omnipresent living energy that is behind and supporting all life. This connection is far beyond good and evil and it comes with a special protection each person can directly experience for themselves. Each reader will co-creatively awaken how the techniques in THE SERES AGENDA can also be applied to THE EMERALD DOORWAY chapters.
