On our verse, which relates that the complainers lamented their recollection of the fish they used to eat in Egypt, the Medrash Pliah cryptically remarks מכאן שמדליקין נרות בשבת – from our verse we may derive that one is obligated to light candles for Shabbos, a mitzvah which has no apparent connection to our verse whatsoever.
The Chida explains the Medrash Pliah by noting that we must first understand what they were complaining about, as we are told that one was able to make the Manna taste like anything he so desired simply through his thoughts. If so, why were they complaining about the fish they used to eat in Egypt when they were perfectly capable of causing the Manna to take on that taste with no effort whatsoever?
Rather, the Gemora in Yoma (74b) states that although one was able to make the Manna taste like anything he desired, it nevertheless retained the standard appearance of the Manna. Even though they were able to make the Manna taste like fish, they lacked the enjoyment and satiety which comes from seeing the food which they wished to taste. The Gemora there even notes that a blind person won't enjoy or become as full from a meal as a person with normal vision who consumes the same food.
Based on this complaint, the Medrash Pliah questioned how a person will be able to avoid the same dilemma on Shabbos, as he won't be able to enjoy and appreciate the Shabbos delicacies if he is forced to eat them in darkness, and it therefore concluded that from our verse we may derive that a person is obligated to light candles for Shabbos!
Rav Pam notes that although we don't merit hearing it, a Divine voice expressing frustration over the things we complain about still goes out regularly. We live in a time of unprecedented freedom and material bounty, and we are surrounded by a society which influences us to believe that we are entitled to immediate gratification, to have everything we want, when and exactly how we want it. If we would only step back and view our lives with the proper perspective, we would be so overwhelmed by the blessings we enjoy that there would be no room to complain about trivialities.
When a husband or a child complains about eating the same supper for the 3rd consecutive night, Hashem can't help but point out how many poverty-stricken families would do anything to eat this dinner every night for a year, if only to enjoy a nutritional and filling repast. Every time that the parents of the bride and groom quarrel over petty wedding-related issues, a Bas Kol (Heavenly voice) wonders how many parents will cry themselves to sleep that evening over their inability to find a proper match for their aging son or daughter, and who would gladly accede to any terms the other side would set … if only there would be another side.
The next time that we find ourselves upset about issues which are objectively nothing more than nuisances and minor inconveniences, let us remember the lesson of the Manna and open our ears to hear Hashem's response to our complaints.
The Gemora in Shabbos (130a) teaches that any mitzvah which was accepted by the Jewish people with joy, such as circumcision, is still performed happily to the present day. Any mitzvah that was accepted with fighting, such as forbidden relationships, is still accompanied by tension, as the issues involved in the negotiation of every wedding cause struggles. Of all commandments, why did the Jews specifically complain about the prohibition against marrying family members?
Dayan Yisroel Yaakov Fisher suggests that when the Jews heard that they would be unable to marry their close relatives, they feared that they would be unable to enjoy successful marriages. They believed that the ideal candidate for marriage would be a person who was familiar since birth and who would be almost identical in terms of values and stylistic preferences. From the Torah's prohibition to marry those most similar to us, we may deduce that Hashem's vision of marriage differs from our own.
The Mas'as HaMelech derives a similar lesson from Parshas Ki Seitzei, which begins by discussing the Y'fas Toar – woman of beautiful form. The Torah permits a soldier who becomes infatuated with a non-Jewish woman during battle to marry her. This is difficult to understand, as only the most righteous individuals constituted the Jewish army. Rashi writes (Devorim 20:8) that somebody who had committed even the smallest Rabbinical sin was sent back from the war. How could such pious Rabbis be tempted to marry a beautiful non-Jewish woman?
Rashi writes (21:11) that a person who marries a Y'fas Toar will ultimately give birth to a Ben Sorer U'Moreh – wayward son. The Gemora in Sanhedrin (71a) rules that a child may only be punished as a rebellious son if his parents are identical in their voices, appearances, and height. The Mas'as HaMelech explains that even the most righteous soldier will be taken aback upon encountering a woman who looks like him and whose voice is identical to his. All external signs seem to indicate that she is meant for him, and he may be convinced that Hashem's will is to convert her and marry her.
However, from the fact that Rashi teaches that a wayward son will come out of such a union, we may conclude that the ideal marriage isn't one in which the two partners enter already identical. A Torah marriage is one in which the two partners grow together over time to understand and respect one another, allowing them to overcome their differences and create a beautiful, harmonious blend of their unique perspectives and experiences.
The S'fas Emes once noted that one of his recently-married Gerrer chassidim had suddenly become much less diligent in his studies. The Rebbe approached the newlywed and inquired as to the source of his recent absence from the Beis Medrash. The chossid was embarrassed that the Rebbe noticed his declining involvement in Talmudic studies, but explained that he was having a difficult time meeting his financial needs and was being forced to spend an increasing amount of time working to support his new wife. The Rebbe asked whether he was receiving any financial assistance from his parents, to which the chossid replied that his father wanted to help him but simply didn't have the money to do so.
The sagacious S'fas Emes called in the newlywed's father to discuss his worries that the chossid, who possessed great potential, was being derailed from his true calling by financial matters. The father expressed his concern but reiterated that he was simply unable to do anything to be of material assistance.
The Rebbe replied by asking him why Moshe Rabbeinu, in his complaints to Hashem, began by asking whether he had conceived and given birth to the Jewish nation, and only subsequently continued to express his inability to supply them with the tremendous amount of meat necessary to meet their desires. If he knew that he lacked the means to provide them with their request, why was it relevant whether or not he gave birth to them?
The chossid remained silent, to which the Rebbe answered that we derive from here that only because Moshe didn't conceive the Jewish nation was he able to excuse himself with the argument that he was incapable of meeting their demands, but if somebody did indeed give birth to another, then the claim of lack of means to assist and support them is completely invalid!

I've commented on the corruption of the Solyndra scandal, but it's important to understand this is not just a story of sleaze.
From an economic perspective, the real problem is that green-energy programs cause a misallocation of capital. Simply stated, government intervention diverts resources from more productive uses.
Here are a couple of examples, explained in videos put together by Senator Jim DeMint's office.
The first video shows how a subsidiary of Coca-Cola used White House favoritism to subsidize its energy costs.
And the second video explains how a Spanish company, thanks to the Obama White House, benefited from industrial policy.
And what's the economic impact of these forms of crony capitalism? I did a back-of-the-envelope calculation, estimating that there's about $160,000 of investment for every real job in the private sector.

Q: Class selector "p .class" not working CSS I start to run out of ideas. I'm using flexbox inside flexboxes, and somehow even tho somewhere else on my page I use it, here I'm not able to reach "h1 .class" or "p .class".
My HTML:

TEXTTEXTEXT

TEXTTEXTEXT

I want to select those particularly because I want to have no space between header and paragraph. Thus I tried to put margins to 0.
With following CSS:
h1 .coretext {
   margin-botton: 0px;
}

p .coretext {
   margin-top: 0px;
}

And so to ensure it wasn't managing to affect h1 and p, I also added some "color: red" and "font-size: x-large;".
But nothing seems to be able to reach thoses h1 and p.
Obviously, when I directly calls h1 or p with:
h1 {
   color: red;
}

It works.
Any insight on this? I've been trying quite everything I found online and since english isn't my native langage, I might have been taping the wrong keyword somehow, because I hardly believe I'm the first one to encounter this.
Thank you in advance for your time :)!

A: A couple of issues with your current code. First of all this selector h1 .coretext will target any children of a
 element with the class of coretext.
There was also a typo contained in your code margin-botton - I'm not going to insult your intelligence, I'm assuming this was just a mistyped character, but it will have been causing you issues.
To target elements that are inside the element with the classcoretext you can use the following selectors:

.coretext h1 {
   margin-bottom: 0px;
}

.coretext p {
   margin-top: 0px;
}

TEXTTEXTEXT

This week,I spoke with returning guest and lead designer behind the game Energy Hook, Jamie Fristrom to catch up about the game's development and what's going on at Happion Laboratories.
We started off talking about what Jamie has been up to over the last year, including working on the game Sixty Second Shooter Prime and his updates to Energy Hook.
We talked about how the game's development is going and what his fanbase is thinking of the title. In terms of new content we talked about him finalizing the player's avatar with a new model. Discussing adding a female character to the game also brought up a brief tangent on the whole Gamergate debacle and we spent a few minutes on it.

Function of torso in determining the terminal anlagen of the Drosophila embryo.
Klingler M1, Erdélyi M, Szabad J, Nüsslein-Volhard C.
Max-Planck-Institut für Entwicklungsbiologie, Tübingen, FRG.
The formation of the unsegmented terminal regions of the Drosophila larva, acron and telson requires the function of at least five maternal genes (terminal genes class). In their absence, the telson and acron are not formed. One of them, torso (tor), has gain-of-function alleles which have an opposite phenotype to the lack-of-function (tor-) alleles: the segmented regions of the larval body, thorax and abdomen, are missing, whereas the acron is not affected and the telson is enlarged. In strong gain-of-function mutants, the pair-rule gene fushi tarazu (ftz) is not expressed, demonstrating the suppression of the segmentation process in an early stage of development. The tor gain-of-function effect is neutralized, and segmentation is restored in double mutants with the zygotic gene tailless (tll), which has a phenotype similar (but not identical) to that of tor-. This suggests that tor acts through tll, and that in the gain-of-function alleles of tor, the tll gene product is ectopically expressed at middle positions of the embryo, where it inhibits the expression of segmentation genes like ftz.

I see you holding that tiny 8 pound frame, wondering how on earth you got here and who exactly decided you could manage another life other than your own. I hear your thoughts, cloudy from the alarmingly low amount of sleep you're operating escoliosis levoconvexa on, while this new life life still requiring the most thoughtful and attentive decisions you've ever had to make. Each moment a battle between fear and hope. Between adoration and resentment. Between what your gut says and what the everyone else may say. How do you raise a baby? You didn't think you had a clue.
The transition to motherhood feels like your house burned down with all your belongings inside, but no one notices. They talk lumbar herniated disc symptoms about your new house, how perfect you must feel in it.
You're going to look for answers. Like to why he cries from 5-8 every night. When should you start solids? What bottle is best? What kind of formula makes escoliosis lumbar izquierda his brain develop? Are we doing enough tummy time? Is he happy? Is he healthy? Is he okay? Are we okay?
You ask and ask. You click around parenting sites and turn each page with desperation, trusting anyone or everyone else to have the key to unlock the secrets to mastery over this great new challenge and allow you to shine as a perfect mother. You convince yourself the answer exists everywhere except for inside yourself. You are not to be trusted. You're just a freshman. A rookie. Learning the ropes that seasoned mothers and fathers are obviously navigating with ease. The difficulty you feel is nothing escoliosis fotos more than a sign that something is off. Something must be wrong. You feel like you need all the information in the world, but know deep down it won't be enough to settle the deep pangs of self-doubt.
But dear self, things are as they should be. It's meant to be hard and feel awkward. These moments of pain estenosis lumbar severa mixed with joy are but bricks laid in your beautiful path you're carving for you and your son. The people who told you Motherhood changes you in an instant were wrong. It changes you over moments and hours spent gazing into the eyes of a baby you're learning to adore dolor lumbar ejercicios and finding your new identity amidst a chaotic shift in your foundation. It changes you as you approach hurdle after hurdle, sleep-regression after effing sleep-regression, and come out the other side still alive somehow. You feel powerless, and you are supposed to be powerless. There is a slow death of self, and a rising of new self happening. It is powerful, and empowering if you allow it to be.
Maybe hearing parenthood is an endless struggle doesn't help much right now. But I want so badly to be able to tell you, in your weariest state, to find what you need cirugia de hernia de disco lumbar l5 s1 within yourself. You will be tempted day in and day out to look elsewhere for every answer. Trust me when I say that many of them don't exist outside of you. No one else will offer you the level of reassurance you crave that you and Ezra are securely attached. No one will understand why or how his witching hour happens. No one will know better than you when Ezra needs to see a doctor, when he needs to switch formulas, or when his bed time should be. Practice listening to your inner voice. She has a lot to say.
Trusting yourself has always been a struggle, but now is the time to practice. Hone it. Listen to yourself. Believe you are equipped. Dare to exercise your intuition, allowing your gut to guide you. The decisions you will make based on someone else's advice will leave you so anxious so often. They mean well, and advice estenosis espinal lumbar can sometimes be so useful. But they never know the whole picture of your family. How can they? But you do.
That feeling of mastery, at least over the dolor lumbar cronico next 2 years, won't come. The learning and unlearning never ends, and with each new week comes new challenges. The constant, though, is you. Your ability to rise to the occasion, to bring your strength and knowledge to the table, to show up with love and dignity and belief in yourself. You are cut out for this. Believe this now, and save yourself months of anxious toiling. Stop asking of others what they will never be able to do: to validate your ability to be a mother to that baby. That is your work to do, not theirs. And the validation does not come through perfection, but through acknowledging and accepting your deep imperfection.
I am proud of the work you are doing. My eyes fill with tears when I imagine the vulnerability you live in right now. It is so painfully beautiful. I don't miss it, but I am so grateful for that time of having my entire escoliosis dorsal izquierda heart ripped open and life turned sideways as we made room for our Ezra. He is doing fine. You are doing fine. You will all be fine. Trust me.

Harsh winter threatens the lives of millions of Syrians
As the cold weather season approaches, nearly 2.4 million women, children and men across Syria will struggle to get adequate warmth and will require targeted support. This includes tens of thousands of newly-displaced people, including those in displacement sites and open areas, those who have been displaced multiple times and for long periods and now live in sub-standard shelters, but also returnees and host communities.
People need sleeping bags, winter clothes, plastic sheeting, high thermal blankets, heaters and stoves. Although funding has been secured to assist approximately 1.9 million of the 2.4 million people in need of winterization support, a further US$33 million is urgently required to assist 500,000 additional people.
Despite the challenges, humanitarian partners continue their cross-border operations in an effort to reach the most vulnerable. The cross-border operation from Turkey has not only continued to reach hundreds of thousands of people in need each month, it has scaled up in recent weeks. This has been done to ensure prepositioning of humanitarian aid should there be a military incursion in Idleb, as well as to provide winterization support. Nearly 1,000 trucks with plastic sheeting, winter clothes and boots, heaters and stoves, are providing life-saving assistance to some of Syria's most vulnerable. Smaller amounts of critical supplies also continue to be delivered into north-east Syria through al-Yarubiyah border crossing from Iraq.
In the first nine months of 2018, over 750,000 people on average each month were reached with food aid through United Nations cross-border activities. Sustained assistance is essential for those in need, providing both aid and supporting service delivery. The response in Syria is complementary; assistance from within and outside of Syria continues to be essential to ensure high quality access to people in need. Since 2014, these cross-border deliveries have made a real difference for millions of people who would otherwise not be able to meet their own basic needs.
Despite donors' generous support, the UN's Humanitarian Coordinator in Syria warned that the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan is still underfunded. "This puts limits on our work in Syria," he said. And as winter approaches, the situation will worsen for millions of people. Across the country, over 13 million people continue to depend on humanitarian assistance, of which more than 6 million people are food-insecure internally displaced. Lack of sufficient funding will only increase civilian suffering. As of today, the appeal remains less than 50 per cent funded.

Vintage Publication Spotlight - The Music Gig
As the front cover suggests (Led Zeppelin, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Fleetwood Mac, and Tom Petty) this Volume 3 Number 9 edition of The Music Gig is from the 1970s. May, 1977 to be exact. It's the only issue in my archives, and I have no recollection of whether I bought this magazine on a regular basis. The price was 85 cents. The Music Gig was published in New York by Editor in Chief Sam Chase, with Jean-Charles Costa serving as Editor. The format mimics Rolling Stone, with black & white printed pages except for an occasional dash of color. The back cover ad for Camel Filters is the only page in full color.
Chris Salewicz's interview with Jimmy Page is augmented by some distinctive illustrations by Charles Jackson Pate. Page reflects on rehearsals for a post Presence tour, the Led Zeppelin flick, The Song Remains The Same, and his confidence in the future of his band. Elsewhere, writer Steve Weitzman drops in on a Crosby, Stills & Nash recording session, and wonders if their first LP in years will put them back in the limelight. Susin Shapiro meets Tom Petty around the time of his debut release with The Heartbreakers and asks if that grin on the LP's front cover means he's cynical. Teri Morris delves into the history of Fleetwood Mac and its tradition of incorporating new members into the group. There are also articles on Genesis and Peter Gabriel after the split, Thin Lizzy, Steve Hillage, Natalie Cole, and Leo Sayer.
The albums section includes an extended review of Bad Company's Burnin' Sky; Pink Floyd's Animals; and a combined review of David Bowie's Low and Iggy Pop's The Idiot. Jim Green's Singles column offers his takes on The Kinks' "Sleepwalker" (spunky); KC & The Sunshine Band's "I'm You're Boogie Man," (less than memorable); and The Eagles' "Hotel California" (an unusual choice for a single). He was particularly impressed with The Nerves' "Hanging On The Telephone," declaring, "these kicky guys from SF are among the best exponents of the early English invasion sound since the real thing. Searchers, Hollies, Zombies - - even a dash of Rick Nelson!"
The Hollywood Hotline gossip page dishes on Keith Moon's aborted wedding (he felt he was too young at 29); Todd Rundgren's elaborate, 60-city tour; James Taylor working with producer Peter Asher on his first effort for Columbia; and an upcoming album from The Moody Blues. Most of the ads in the May, 1977 issue of The Music Gig were for albums, including new efforts from Tavares; Isaac Hayes & Dionne Warwick; Climax Blues Band; Weather Report; Andrew Gold; and The Amazing Rhythm Aces. In the charts, Rumours by Fleetwood Mac was the top album, and "Rich Girl" by Hall & Oates was the Number One single.

Confronting authoritarian populism: challenges for agrarian studies
Woman reaper, 1928 (K. Malevich, Russian Museum, St Petersburg)
Last week I was in Russia at the fascinating fifth BRICS Initiative in Critical Agrarian Studies conference. Throughout the event we heard about the emergence of particular styles of authoritarian populist regimes, including in the BRICS countries, but elsewhere too. Based on my remarks at the final plenary, I want to ask what the challenges are for agrarian studies in confronting authoritarian populism.
This is a theme that is at the core of the Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI), launched in May this year. The open access framing paper is available from the Journal of Peasant Studies, as is a brilliant contribution to the JPS Forum on this theme from Walden Bello. The ERPI conference in March next year at ISS, the Hague now also has an open call for contributions (deadline, Nov 15). We have been somewhat overwhelmed by the global response to the initiative, and we had a flood of applicants for small grants, with the winners of the 2017 competition announced recently. There is a very vibrant network emerging among scholars and activists around the world, and many were present at the conference in Moscow.
So, what do we mean by authoritarian populism? It takes many forms, but we draw on the arguments of Stuart Hall and others made in the context of Thatcherism in the UK. In Gramscian terms, authoritarian populisms can emerge when the 'balance of forces' changes, creating a new 'political-ideological conjuncture'. Drawing on populist discontents, a transformist, authoritarian movement, often with a strong, figurehead leader, is launched, mobilising around 'moral panics'and 'authoritarian closure', and being given, in Hall's words, 'the gloss of populist consent'. Sound familiar?
In this blog, I want to discuss the implications and challenges for how we think about agrarian issues in the context of authoritarian populism, and want to make four brief points.
First, as Dani Rodrik, the Harvard economist, explains, the form of populism that emerges around the world – broadly characterised as authoritarian or progressive – depends very much on the historical engagements with globalisation, and how populists mobilise, either around ethno-nationalist arguments when global migration flows create discontents or around class divisions when global trade has impacts on livelihoods. I think this is an important argument, but so far in his writings he doesn't flesh out the detail, and in particular how globalisation processes affect rural spaces in different ways to urban metropoles, with contrasting implications for class, caste, gender or age – and so processes of political mobilisation. I'd argue that agrarian studies needs to engage with these questions, and perhaps bring more of a global political economy angle back in, where the economics are taken seriously.
Second, the emergence of populism, with a strong rural base, needs a careful analysis of the social and cultural dynamics of rural change, asking sympathetically why it is that young people, women, peasant farmers and others are often strongly behind reactionary populist positions. Liberals and leftists may argue that this does not serve their interests and they are somehow mistaken, but we need to look beyond such rationalist arguments, and think harder about the politics of identity, belonging, recognition and community. Rural religion and cultural identities are important, but not conventionally part of agrarian studies. Interest-based analyses (centred on class or whatever category) and conventional political economy may simply be not enough.
Third, at the same time, authoritarian populism provides an impetus to the continuation of extractive exploitation of rural resources – land, water, resource grabbing continues apace. But this time with a nationalist tinge, and with new capital-elite-state alliances forged. These processes, which were a response to the global financial crisis of 2008 and the desperate search for investment opportunities by global capital, now have a new context in many settings. How do new configurations of power, and a populist, nationalist, often anti-globalization narrative, affect the politics of dispossession in rural spaces, and with these the dynamics of accumulation, among local and international elites? I think these wider political shifts mean that our conversations around grabbing and extractivism that occupied many of the presentations at the conference, require an expanded frame that takes populist politics seriously.
Fourth, the ERPI is interested in how alternatives are forged and resistances mobilised to authoritarian populism. Our analyses must probe why these don't happen, but also how and when they do. We also must think hard about the conventional frames for mobilisation, and ask whether these do the job today, in the face of authoritarian populisms. Take the idea of food sovereignty. For many, the food sovereignty movement has been a site for progressive discussion about agrarian alternatives. But the notion of sovereignty, localism, autonomy and rejection of the role of the state and globalism, has frequently been captured by regressive populist positions. Why do peasant farmers support such political leaders? Because they claim to offer a voice and a commitment to protecting their autonomy from the ill-winds of global trade and state interference. The Natural Farming Movement in India is a case in point. A perfectly good idea about agro-ecological farming gets wrapped up in exclusionary Hindutva nationalism, yet is celebrated as a food sovereignty success. A new politics of the mainstream requires a new politics of the alternative, and agrarian movements need in my view some hard thinking about positioning.
As outlined in our ERPI framing paper, a new moment is emerging: a critical, historical conjuncture, when the tectonic plates of global power relations shift. We cannot pretend this is not happening. In Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, for sure, but also in Turkey, the Philippines, Indonesia, much of Europe and of course the US, political reconfigurations are underway, responding in different ways to a quite fundamental crisis in globalised neoliberal capitalism, with huge ramifications across rural worlds everywhere.
New contexts require new questions, new analytical frames and new forms of mobilisation. And with this moment unfolding rapidly, in alliance with others, the intellectual and political project of agrarian studies must rise to the challenge.

Yale Agrarian Studies
I am just back from a trip to Yale University where a paper on the Zimbabwe work was discussed as part of the Agrarian Studies Colloquium organised by Jim Scott http://www.yale.edu/agrarianstudies/real/colloq2.html – see paper under Dec 2nd session). It's a fantastic format where the 'speaker' is not allowed to say anything until an hour in, and the audience discusses the pre-circulated paper following a commentary from a grad student. There was a great discussion over several hours, which I thought I would give a flavour of here.
The commentator was Sarah Osterhoudt, who is PhD student in the famous joint program between Anthropology and Forestry and Environmental Studies. In opening up the discussion, she highlighted a number of themes, including the need to get a better sense of how material and social-cultural landscapes intersected in the new resettlements; the importance of exploring the implications of the demographic shifts following resettlement; a need to understand how the 'new farmers' were constructing identities and communities, as a new cultural group in a new Zimbabwean politics; and with this the need to explore what new visions of the future of farming, environment, landscape and economy were being constructed.
Later discussions focused on the multiple definitions of 'success' deployed in the policy debate – at local vs national level, according to external vs local 'folk' criteria, between A1 smallholders and A2 medium scale commercial farms and so on. Which criterion makes sense depends on your standpoint, although it was pointed out that even if not just 'subsistence', reliance solely on smallholder production, with relatively low yield levels, limited capitalisation/mechanisation, and variable market reach may not be sufficient in the long term. I agree with this, but it is important to avoid evaluating the new farmers and their production by inappropriate standards. While it is possible to produce 10t/ha of maize under Zimbabwean conditions, this requires substantial investment, and economic returns are much less impressive than the yield potential. Getting 2-3t/ha, even 1t/ha, on extensive dryland production with limited inputs and low costs, offers significant returns, and livelihoods for many. Similarly, crop switches, say away from maize to sorghum/millet, is not always a step backwards. It may actually result in better livelihood security, great labour intensity and resilience in the face of drought and climate change. And mixing farming with off-farm income earning, including migration to towns, is again not a sign of failure, but one of diversification in the face of highly variable and uncertain income earning opportunities – a strategy used by 'farmers' the world over, including most white farmers who used the land before.
Another theme of discussion was the challenge of managing farming, and other enterprises, in the time of hyperinflation (from c 2005-early 2009), and how bartering, exchange and the role of livestock, grain and labour as forms of currency. The contrasting abilities of A1 farmers, able to rely on local exchange systems, and A2 farmers, reliant on formal markets, credit and so on, was emphasised. I argued that the failure of A2 farmers to get moving in the period from 2000 was in large part due to this necessary articulation with the formal economy, and especially the lack of credit. Post 2009, things have changed, and we discussed at some length the growth of the tobacco, cotton and now sugar sectors in land reform areas, including on the A2 farms. Credit, however, remains a challenge, and an area where some thoughtful policy work is urgently required. Jim McCann from the Pardee Center at Boston University was concerned about Zimbabwe's reliance on the US dollar as the currency, meaning that much macro-economic policy was outside the national government's hands. Parallels with the euro-zone were made, yet unlike struggling European economies, Zimbabwe's GDP is growing rapidly, admittedly from a very low base. The hike in commodity prices, particularly of minerals, is resulting in a new flow of resources into the country. Some of these are being captured, diverted and stolen for sure, but nevertheless these flows mean more funds are now circulating, generating opportunities for investment, business, credit, taxation and in general demand for products and services. Clearly, there is need for some rigorous study of the new macro-economic patterns in Zimbabwe, a subject way beyond my area of expertise.
Another key theme picked up by a number of participants focused on the role of the state in the post-land reform settings. Were new settlers escaping from the formerly dominant gaze of the state bureaucracy and creating their own futures independently, or were they dependent on state support, through political, ideological and material influences? And how did this tension play out with different groups – A1 and A2, men and women, younger and older? This was the focus for a fascinating discussion about the complex and often ambivalent nature of state power and authority in rural Zimbabwe. At one time the state – or at least the political-military elite of ZANU-PF – has enormous influence, and exerts control often through violent means; yet at the same time the state's ability to control everything is weak, and local processes of innovation and resistance continue, sometimes in negotiation with the state (say around land use planning, boundary disputes and so on) but sometimes wholly independently (say around much service provision, technical advice etc.). Struggles over authority, and who captures the benefits of land reform, are on-going, and wrapped in very local histories, which, as I explained, are different from farm to farm.
Political scientists, including Ato Kwame Onoma, at the session raised the important question about how land reform plays out at the broader national political level. Clearly, land reform has been claimed as an achievement of ZANU-PF, and is central to its electoral positioning in rural areas. The old nationalist rhetoric is often deployed, and visible allegiance to ZANU-PF is often required by new farmers. Yet, at the same time, many new settlers are highly sceptical of ZANU-PF's posturing. They will play along of course, but are not at all convinced. The failure of the opposition parties (the two MDC formations) to develop a new narrative around land was discussed at some length. I argued, for example, that the emergent 'class' of farmers (across A1 and A2 sites) who are doing well in the resettlements and 'accumulating from below', engaging in new forms of commodity production and emerging as a 'middle farmer' group in the rural areas, are a natural constituency for the MDC. A narrative based on an emergent rural middle class, committed to growth and economic regeneration, would surely go down well. However, the opposition, given its history and networks, has failed to engage with agrarian issues, and remains often confused and contradictory on its positions on land reform, failing to mobilise more than generalised discontent with the status quo in the rural areas. The default, as several contributors in the seminar said, is that ZANU-PF can continue to hold the rural areas to ransom, especially when security of tenure is weak, exerting compliance and begrudging support.
Comparisons with other land reforms were made during the debate. Jim Scott commented that the most successful tend to be ones that start with land invasions, where groups of people with social and economic ties occupy the land, and are subsequently formalised and codified, with property rights given to new land holders by the state. This case, he argued, appears to fit this pattern, with the A1 farms originating in land invasions, and exhibiting a more coherent sense of 'community' identity, being the most successful, since these small scale farmers were able to organise, plan and invest on their own terms. However, as others pointed out, it is the A2 farms (and the larger A1 farms) that will be key to the longer term success of Zimbabwe's land reform, as it is these farms which will produce tradeable surpluses on the scale required for an agrarian economy to move forward.
This presents the big dilemma for agrarian politics in Zimbabwe, an issue that we kept coming back to in the discussion. Will it be the small to medium scale farmers who are able to make their mark, economically and politically? Or will it be those elites who have grabbed large-scale farms who will make the case that the only way to be a 'successful' farmer in the longer term is to do this through large-scale, highly capitalised farms, as (some) white farmers did before? Will it be the 'new whites' (the black, well-connected political elite, in alliance with white capital and expertise) or the emergent petty commodity production class who will win out? While the new elite with access to large scale farms is not a massive group, they are influential and have (and continue to do so) grabbed farms in the higher potential areas. What happens into the future is of course a matter of speculation, but such political analysis of the changed rural setting is vital if a clearer analysis of options – and associated political strategy – is to unfold.
In sum, it was a fascinating, informed, and stimulating session (and this is only a fraction of it…). And, because in the US, a little more detached, comparative, and analytical than

We are super excited. Literally, we are boiling.
This november we are launching an exclusive beta program for some of the top brands within Swedish e-tail. The program will give e-tailers within groceries, fashion, health & beauty and DIY early bird access to Retail DecisionCloud.
We cannot wait to put our product in your hands.
The beta program will be due 3 months ending in January 2018.
If you're an e-tailer within groceries, fashion, health & beaty or DIY with a yearly revenue of >100 MSEK (>12 USD) and want to evaluate and optimize your promotions (increasing profitability by 3-5% and grow vendor funding by 3-5%). Then you should most definitely apply.


The 27th of August appointed for a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer, to implore God's mercy: if any person by found upon that day gaming, drinking, or working (works of necessity excepted), upon presentment by church-wardens and proof, he shall be fined one hundred pounds of tobacco.
The times, they do change, don't they? After all, now possessing one hundred pounds of tobacco gets you all kinds of grief!
It causes one to wonder: what aspects of life have I so adopted as true that will cause people in future times to think I was more fit for the lunatic house than real life?
This is what happens to us when we so exalt a portion of life beyond its necessary value. At the time, for whatever reason, 27 August was set as a day to stop everything else. I'm sure diligent historical work could uncover the reason, but I've got stuff to do today.
The point being that we need to be very careful determining not only that days are important for religious reasons but then enforcing on others not only the day but our own view of what they should do on it. I'm very much in favor of reduced work on Sundays, church attendance, taking the day to focus on Christ. Yet does it fall to me to demand you spend the day the same as I do?
Should I demand you not watch the Daytona 500 this weekend? Certainly not! For one, the National Anthem will be better performed than the last mega-sporting event. (MARTINA MCBRIDE!!) For two, that's between you, your family, and God. If He's ok with it, who am I to interfere?
Now, for those of us that have voluntarily associated ourselves with a church family and committed to be a member of that body, we know that puts responsibilities on us for every day of the week, including Sundays and holidays. However, I'm not going to chase you down for it.
Besides, what would I gain? 100 pounds of tobacco?
The laws of man and the fines of man make precious little sense sometimes. Better to recognize the law of God and surrender to it, accepting that it wasn't a mere fine we needed but death, and that the Lord Jesus Christ took it for us.

Seating plans don't just tell guests where to sit. They also mark the significance and formality of your day. Tie your wedding day stationery together with a matching seating plan or seating chart for your reception.
Scroll down to explore our exclusive collection of pre-designed seating plans, available printed on canvas, card or paper. Seating plans can be couriered throughout New Zealand and internationally. To find out more about a design, or to order, simply click on the corresponding image.
What's included with Be My Guest Seating Plans?
When should I order my seating plan for my wedding?
As wedding stationery a time sensitive item, it's important to allow as much time as possible. For card and photo paper prints, allow two weeks for design, printing and delivery. For canvas seating plans, allow up to three weeks, as the canvas assembly process takes a little longer.
Allowing plenty of time ensures you receive your seating plan and other stationery pieces well before your set-up day (and you can relax and know you've got everything you need for your wedding day).
Faster turnaround times are possible, please get in touch and advise your wedding date and preferred printing method to check. Urgency fees apply and the above timeframes exclude weekends and public holidays, so it pays to be organised.
There are a number of options available for printing your seating chart, but the most popular is to receive your plan mounted onto canvas and stretched on a frame. This makes them suitable to place on an easel or hang on the wall. In the image below you can see a close up of the paper and mounting. This type of seating plan takes the longest to be printed.
You can also elect to have your seating plan printed onto high quality matt photo paper and delivered rolled into a cardboard tube. These seating plans are suitable to frame, and are not stiff enough to sit on their own. We have the flexibility to print any size.
As well as the large format signs as described above, Be My Guest can also design and print seating plans with the tables separated out onto smaller pieces of card, as in the above image.
If you've got access to a printer, and/or you want to save on shipping costs and time, the electronic option is a great way to go. You'll receive your high resolution PDF file quickly (within 48 hours during the working week) and can take your file to a local print shop or print at work. This is the option we recommend for people that are wanting a seating plan last minute – as none of us have to worry about the couriers being on time!
How much are seating plans?
Please browse through the Seating Plans category in the Be My Guest shop for an indication of pricing – it depends on the format (canvas, paper or electronic) and the size you select.
What size seating plan should I use for my wedding?
Our answer is usually "whatever is going to work in the space that you have".
Here's an example for you (since the people usually worried about what size they should pick, are having big weddings). The seating plan above has over 210 guests and 21 tables listed.
Vanessa ordered an electronic version off me, so that she could get it printed locally, since she was in a bit of a hurry. I originally designed an A0 size as was requested (84cm x 118cm – over a meter high!). However when it came to be printed, she realised that this size was going to be much bigger than she'd envisaged for her wedding and the space she had available.
The great thing is, it didn't matter! All she needed to do, was ask their local printer to scale the electronic file to print at the smaller size. The size Vanessa and Tevita ended up printing their seating plan was A2, which is a nice size for a frame on top of a table or pinned nicely to the wall (42cm x 59cm).
So the main takeaway from this is: it doesn't really matter how big your wedding is – the size of your seating plan can be whatever will work for you. As we don't adhere to a "template" as such, we can adjust and tweak the tables to hold as many or as little guests as possible (and even accommodate guests with reaaaaaaallllly long names like Tevita & Vanessa had).
My usual recommendations for size: A2 is perfect when your seating plan is going onto a tabletop easel, and A1 works perfectly if you're using a floor standing easel. A0 is fine in big spaces… A3 can work, but you wouldn't want to be having a big guest list (as the font would get too small to be legible by guests arriving and crowding around the plan).
Figuring out who sits where can be really hard work! Southern Bride has some helpful advice on how you can sort out your wedding seating plan.


No two words, used in conjunction, send shivers down the spine of Hollywood studio execs, financiers and producers quite like those of Terry and Gilliam. He's undoubtedly a visionary, but one who lacks any basic concept of scope management. As a film fan, this can produce wonderful and amazing results (Brazil, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) but can also lead to frustrations. Such as having to wait 29 years for The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. You have to go back all the way to 1995 for Gilliam's most commercially successful film, 12 Monkeys.
After a deadly virus was released in 1996 which almost wiped out humankind, the survivors were forced to live underground. A prisoner, James Cole (Bruce Willis), is selected and trained to travel back in time from the year 2035 to locate the original virus. He's accidentally transported to 1990 only to be sectioned in a mental hospital by Dr. Kathryn Railly (Madeleine Stowe), where he encounters Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt), a fellow patient with extreme views.
12 Monkeys is a film brimming with big ideas and teeming with moments of inventiveness and brilliance. Inspired by Chris Marker's La Jetée and written by Janey and David Peoples, Gilliam aims for the stars and reaches them on several occasions. Whilst Willis and Pitt throw themselves into their roles, it's Madeleine Stowe whose performance grounds the story in (a slightly altered) reality. 12 Monkeys is an intriguing post-apocalyptic thriller which revels in mystery.
12 Monkeys is released on Blu-ray by Arrow Video on 15 October.

Protest and Proximity: The World Revolution of 1968 in Philip Roth's American Pastoral and Mahasweta Devi's Mother of 1084

This thesis explores social justice issues obliquely, through the eye of the literary, as represented in two novels, Philip Roth's American Pastoral and Mahasweta Devi's Mother of 1084. Each novel narrates a moment in the world revolution of 1968, and through that moment, unfolds themes of revolution, terrorism, and the variety of aftermaths such events called forth within the larger geopolitical landscape. In comparing the particular locales of Newark, New Jersey, as Roth describes it, and Kolkata, India, as Devi portrays it, I hope to probe some of the multiple experiential confluences and divergences within the core-periphery geoculture of 1968. To do so, I employ Immanuel Wallerstein's model of world-system analysis. Through his perspective, I try to draw near a description of the ways in which proximity to social injustice informs and shapes experiences of protest, specifically in terms of the actual geocultural realities configured, as they are, by our capitalist world-system. A question this thesis asks, then, is how do bourgeois culture and revolutionary culture mutually constitute one another. In response to Roth's and Devi's choice to explore radical Marxist politics within the bourgeois family structure, I engage the way in which emotions—in particular, grief—collide with and are shaped by political rhetoric and reality at the nation-state and, later, global level. Finally, this comparison has led me to ask, what place does concern about human rights and, more generally, global asymmetric power relations occupy in the ordinary everydayness of our lives, when history, as Roth puts it, comes into our living room? Or, when language, in Devi's formulation, becomes weapon? To explore the way domestic life encounters the global, I turn to international relations professor Andrew Bacevich and post-strucutralist philosopher Judith Butler. These two writers enter into their respective discussions of current global politics by first considering September 11 as a condition of possibility, as a moment, before and after which we could have chosen to do something other than what we did. The events of September 11 and the world revolution of 1968, I argue, can serve as spaces through which we can contemplate the condition of the possible, in other words, spaces in which we might begin to imagine our lives and our world as otherwise. Through the literary, we transformatively enter into the realm of the possible, and in contemplating such a condition, find our way toward a renewed sense of agency over how we story, over how we take account of our lives, and, hence, over how we choose to live them. It is the contention of this project that Roth and Devi, viewed in concert, offer rich possibilities for doing just this.

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research says the UK economy will grow by 0.8 per cent in the third quarter and emerge from its double-dip recession.
The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (Niesr) says that the UK economy is likely to remain in depression for another two years, even though it admits it has come out of recession.
Niesr classifies a depression as when output is below a previous peak. It says that the UK economy will take another two years to reach the level of output it was at the beginning of 2008.
The financial crisis has already led to the longest depression since the Great Depression of the 1930's.
Niesr says that the UK economy has grown by 0.5 per cent since October 2011 but that it is still 2.8 per cent below its peak at the start of 2008.
The economy came out of its double-dip recession in the third quarter when growth of one per cent was recorded. However, much of this was due to Olympic ticket sales and a reversal of the loss of output from the extra Bank Holiday as a result of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The UK entered a double-dip recession when the economy contracted between September 2011 and June 2012 before posting the encouraging growth figures for the third quarter in 2012.
There are concerns that the economy cold contract again and enter an unprecedented triple-dip recession.
However, Niesr says it expects the economy to grow by 1.1 per cent in 2013 and by 1.7 per cent in 2014.
This suggests that it will be 2015 before the economy sees a sustained recovery and 2017 before the economy returns to regular normal levels of growth which are likely to be reduced to two per cent from previous normal levels of growth that were 2.5 per cent before the financial crisis of 2007.
Niesr economist, Simon Kirby says the depression is due to weak consumer and business spending and spending cuts by the government as well as lower levels of exports partly as a result of the euro debt crisis.
He added that although employment levels have remained healthy and is above the pre-recession level, the population of the UK has increased so the employment rate is still below its peak.
He also said that many people who are employed are not working as many hours as they would like.


The Miami Dolphins are trying to make Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry take a hometown discount in his free agency and that's not sitting well with him.
Wide receiver Jarvis Landry has been a very productive player in his four professional seasons with the Miami Dolphins out of LSU. He is a three-time Pro Bowler and led the NFL in receptions this past season. Yet, he and his camp are not thrilled with how the contract negotiation talks are going heading into his impending free agency.
Landry would prefer to stay with the Dolphins, but understands that the NFL is a business. In four years with Miami, Landry has 400 career catches for 4,038 yards and 22 touchdown grabs. Though Miami has only made the playoffs once since 2008, Landry has been a model of consistency at receiver the last Olympiad for the Dolphins.
However, Miami does have two other strong receivers in DeVante Parker, who is still on his rookie contract, and Kenny Stills, who was paid handsomely this past offseason. In short, Miami would love to keep Landry, but isn't looking to pay a premium for his services.
For that reason, we might have seen the last of Landry catching passes down in South Beach. He might have to take his talents elsewhere. Landry has proven to be a physical possession receiver in his four years out of LSU, but may never be a top-10 receiver in the game. That's not a bad thing, but that will likely prevent him from getting top-10 money with the Dolphins.
There are a few teams that could look to sign him this offseason away from Miami. Two that come to mind would be the Oakland Raiders and the Houston Texans. If he is willing to be 1a to Amari Cooper in Oakland or DeAndre Hopkins in Houston, Landry might be able to win a Super Bowl with either AFC franchise. Miami would love to keep him, but the Dolphins look to be strapped for cash. Landry's free agency could be an interesting one to say the least.

There exists a one-byte-off-null vulnerability in 0x1040 function. All data in this challenge is maintained via a tree structure. I spend some time reversing the tree operation. But I learned that there is no vulnerability in tree operation.
The exploitation plan is the same as my previous tutorial on overlapping chunk.
The difficult part of this challenge is how to put two unsorted bin together in memory. I need to prepare many fastbin chunk in the first place and put two data buffer together and put the victim chunk adjacent to them.

Aaliyah Dana Haughton (ur. 16 stycznia 1979 w Nowym Jorku, zm. 25 sierpnia 2001 na Bahamach) – amerykańska piosenkarka R&B i aktorka.

Życiorys
Urodziła się na Brooklynie w Nowym Jorku, a dorastała w Detroit w stanie Michigan. Jej imię w języku arabskim oraz hebrajskim oznacza najwyższa, najbardziej egzaltowana, najlepsza, a drugie imię "Dana" zostało nadane artystce przez babcię ze strony matki Mintis L. Hicks Hankerson. Wraz ze swoim starszym bratem Rashadem Haughtonem została wychowana jako katoliczka. Była Afroamerykanką, po swojej babci miała także domieszkę indiańskiej krwi. Matka Aaliyah, Diane Haughton, także była piosenkarką i odkryła talent wokalny córki.

Początki kariery muzycznej Aaliyah sięgają 1990, kiedy to wzięła udział w programie telewizyjnym Star Search, wykonując na castingach ulubioną piosenkę swojej mamy "My Funny Valentine". Mimo że nie wygrała programu, to pozostawiła po sobie dobre wrażenie i dalej szlifowała umiejętności wokalne. Kolejnym etapem w jej karierze było kilka koncertów na scenie w Las Vegas u boku swojej ciotki, Gladys Knight. Mężem Gladys był Barry Hankerson – menedżer, producent muzyczny oraz założyciel i szef wytwórni Blackground Records, z którą później związała się Aaliyah. Jako młoda nastolatka Aaliyah uczęszczała do szkoły Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts, którą ukończyła na kierunku "taniec", mając średnią ważoną (GPA) 4.0.

Kariera muzyczna
W 1992 zaczęła pracę nad swym debiutanckim albumem, z pomocą starszego od niej o ponad 10 lat piosenkarza i kompozytora R. Kelly'ego, którego rzekomo poślubiła w 1994, mając 15 lat. Aaliyah oficjalnie zaprzeczyła tym plotkom w wywiadzie dla stacji MTV. Jednak według dokumentów hrabstwa Cook w Illinois, artyści byli małżeństwem przez dwa miesiące. Pierwszy album Aaliyah pt. Age Ain't Nothing but a Number został wydany w 1994, uzyskał bardzo pochlebne opinie i zdobył w Stanach Zjednoczonych status platynowej płyty. Następna płyta, wydana 27 sierpnia 1996 One in a Million, również zyskała status podwójnej platyny. Singiel o tym samym tytule co płyta dotychczas pozostaje jednym z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych hitów piosenkarki. Singiel "4 page letter" również odniósł niemały sukces.

W 1997 zadebiutowała jako aktorka występami w serialu Ulice Nowego Jorku (New York Undercover), w którym zagrała samą siebie. Również w 1997 zaśpiewała w filmie animowanym Anastazja piosenkę "Journey to the Past", która została nominowana do Oscara, a rok później – przebojową piosenkę "Are You That Somebody", wchodzącą w skład ścieżki dźwiękowej do filmu Dr Dolittle. Utwór największy sukces uzyskał w Nowej Zelandii, gdzie przez bardzo długi czas utrzymywał się na liście przebojów, dochodząc do szczytu tego notowania.

W 2000 zagrała jedną z główną ról w filmie Romeo musi umrzeć (ang. Romeo Must Die), w którym wystąpiła jako Trish O'Day, córka bossa jednego z gangów. Ponadto nagrała cztery piosenki – "Try Again", "Come Back in One Piece" (z udziałem DMX-a), "Are You Feelin' Me" oraz "I Don't Wanna" – na ścieżkę dźwiękową do filmu. Film okazał się komercyjnym sukcesem, tylko w pierwszym tygodniu wyświetlania film zarobił 18 mln dol., a łączny zysk z ekranizacji tego filmu wyniósł w USA ponad 55 mln dol. Również w 2000 zrealizowała teledysk do piosenki "Try Again", która stała się największym przebojem w dorobku Aaliyah. Piosenka dotarła do piątego miejsca list przebojów w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Norwegii, Niemczech, Kanadzie, Islandii oraz Wielkiej Brytanii, natomiast w Holandii piosenka doszła nawet do Top3 notowań list przebojów. W Australii piosenka dotarła do ósmego miejsca list przebojów. Mimo że singiel został wydany na początku 2000, to do jego końca utrzymał się w pierwszej 15 list przebojów na Billboard Hot 100, kończąc rok na 12. pozycji.

W kwietniu 2001 wydała singiel "We Need a Resolution", który nagrała we współpracy z Timbalandem. Pomimo kreatywnego teledysku i nowoczesnego, tajemniczego brzmienia kompozycja ta spotkała się ze średnim sukcesem komercyjnym, docierając do 20 miejsca list przebojów w Wielkiej Brytanii. W rankingu Slant Magazine's, podsumowującym rok 2001, piosenka została uznana za ósmy najlepszy singiel tego roku, a teledysk do niej – za szósty najlepszy.

Latem 2001 wydała trzeci album pt. Aaliyah.

W sierpniu 2001 wracała z nagrywania teledysku do piosenki "Rock the Boat" z wysp Abaco, na Bahamach. Cessna 402B, którą leciała, rozbiła się  od pasa startowego. Zginęło 8 pasażerów (w tym Aaliyah) i pilot Luis Morales III. Według dochodzeń biura koronera na Bahamach, Aaliyah zmarła od poważnych oparzeń ciała i urazu głowy. Dalsze śledztwo prowadzone przez NTSB wskazuje na to, że pilot Luis Morales III nie miał kwalifikacji do pilotażu samolotu tego typu - miał sfałszowaną licencję FAA. Dodatkowo wykryto u niego obecność kokainy oraz alkoholu. Według śledczych samolot piosenkarki mógł być przeładowany o . Co więcej, dalsze dochodzenie dowiodło, że pilot został zatrudniony cztery godziny przed startem samolotu.

Aaliyah została pochowana 31 sierpnia 2001 na Ferncliff Cemetery and Mausoleum w Hartsdale w stanie Nowy Jork.

W 2002 ukazała się pośmiertna płyta artystki pt. I Care 4 U, która odniosła duży sukces. Sześć miesięcy po śmierci piosenkarki premierę miał horror Królowa potępionych (ang. Queen of the Damned), w którym wcieliła się w postać Akashy, królowej wampirów. Miała również zagrać postać Zee w drugiej i trzeciej części Matrixa, przed śmiercią zdążyła nakręcić część scen. Producenci filmu stwierdzili jednak, że materiału jest za mało i, mimo ostrego sprzeciwu fanów, ostatecznie rolę Zee powierzono Nonie Gaye. Aaliyah dostała także propozycję roli Brendy Meeks w komedii Straszny film (ang. Scary Movie), jednak odmówiła i ostatecznie jej rolę objęła aktorka Regina Hall. Była również pierwszym wyborem producentów do zagrania tytułowej roli w pierwszej części kultowej serii filmów Honey, jednak śmierć artystki zmusiła producentów do odnalezienia innej odtwórczyni głównej roli, a została nią Jessica Alba. Po wznowieniach albumów Aaliyah i One in a Million wydano trzypłytową publikację Ultimate Aaliyah, zawierającą m.in. film dokumentalny o życiu artystki.

Epson toner cartridges store It is difficult to imagine efficient schools without printers.
These types of printers allow you to print files from the Internet and stored on your computer and to scan the smallest documents and books. Their possession allows students and adults who need access to a printer to prepare basic documents that will be shown at school, at work or in the office. Such printers can be bought in practically all computer stores and larger supermarkets having computer departments and via the Internet.


To my knowledge, Kathianne, there isn't really a "pay the difference" option when it comes to dining plan credits. Because of his age, your son's only covered option is to order a meal from the children's menu. During our recent trip, we found that many restaurants offered menu items beyond the typical nuggets and burgers. Each restaurant's kids menu had a section called "Chef's Selection" (or something really close to that!), that offered entrees like fish, steak, or chicken. Mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables were widely available as well. If he has his heart set on a particular entree from the regular menu, perhaps an adult in the party would be willing to share a small portion that would compliment his selection off the kids menu. And if not, of course you always have the option of paying out of pocket for an extra entree. I hope that helps!


We decided to spend what turned into a rather rainy day as a fall feast day. As our first full weekend home in about 2 months, we had missed cooking together, and decided it was time to break out the fall foods.
First thing made? Pumpkin Nutella poke cake.
Recipe found at Something Swanky, a great blog to find tasty desserts. This morning we had decided to go ahead and make the pumpkin poke cake, but happened across her pumpkin Nutella poke cake and fell in love.
2. Bake the cake at 375 for 35 minutes.
3. After cooling, poke it a whole lot with the end of a wooden spoon.
4. Pour the milk over the cake, letting it soak in.
5. Mix whipped topping and Nutella, and spread on top.
6. Top with chocolate syrup and heath bits.
Currently, we don't have pictures of the cake, as it is cooling. However, we cannot wait until we share it tonight! Our first friend to join the quarter century life club- so exciting!
Dinner was also fall themed.
I have thoroughly impressed myself, as well as J, with my lack of instruction reading (say, for how much pasta this recipe was going to make- more on that in a minute), but also with my skill for making things after I see it done on TV multiple times.
Today, we give you: sweet potato-ricotta gnocchi with brown butter-sage sauce.
If this dinner doesn't scream fall, I am not sure what does.
1. Boil sweet potatoes (bringing cold water to a boil) until soft.
2. Mash together with salt, ginger, sage and ricotta.
3. Mix in flour, one cup at a time.
4. Roll out on floured surface and realize how much pasta you have just made…six pounds to be exact. We ended up freezing them in pound increments to auction off to family members later.
5. Cut into bite size pieces and roll over the tines of a fork.
6. Boil in water in batches, until they float (about 4-5 minutes).
7. While J cooked the pasta, I made the brown butter sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter with sage, lemon juice, garlic and red pepper flakes. Whisk over medium heat until golden brown.
8. Toss gnocchi in the brown butter sauce.
