Car insurance is one of the most important things we have to have. It not only protects us, but it also protects others from having to pay huge sums of cash. The idea of car insurance is to pool money together for hopefully rare accidents or occurrences. Since car insurance is such an important aspect of our financial well-being, it is important to know what you are buying and make sure you are getting the proper and best deal for it. This article will help you avoid mistakes when selecting car insurance.
Understand what you are buying. This is the first thing you need to do in order to avoid any problems with getting car insurance. Car insurance protects you, and anyone you may get in an accident with if it is your fault. You need to make sure that you are fully covered and that there is no chance of a lawsuit against being under covered. Also know what types of insurance you will need. Are you looking for full coverage or liability only?
Shop around. Once you have a firm grasp on the insurance you are looking for, you will need to go out and get multiple quotes from multiple insurance companies or agents. Take your time and have each agent clearly explain to you what they are selling and what the coverage includes. It is in your best interest to compare not only the coverage, but the price as well. Not all insurance companies have the same price for the same products, so you will want to see which company best suits you and your needs.
Keep the documentation easily accessible. Once you have found the insurance you are looking for and a reasonable price at which to purchase it, you can go ahead with the transaction. You will have to go into the agent's office and sign the appropriate paperwork in order to be fully insured. The agent should also give you some paperwork to show that you are legally insured. This paperwork includes insurance cards and an insurance binder. Be sure to keep all of the paperwork in your car for emergency needs.
Car insurance is not a difficult thing to understand or purchase, but it is something that you will need to understand fully. As important as car insurance is, it can be dangerous to be improperly insured. Make sure you have all of the information needed before making a decision.

It really is amazing how people go with minimum state required coverage in regards to auto insurance. Many people tend not to realize that if their policy doesn't cover everything they are responsible; and that will bring on a accident\injury lawsuit. With this day and age of the settlement loan anyone with a lawsuit (even frivolous) can get cash; which just encourages people more to take out lawsuits.
Follow the authors advice, make sure you have enough coverage to cover any costs that can be related to an accident.

In the final days before a public vote on education reforms approved by the Legislature in 2011, the rhetoric is heating up with proponents of the measures characterizing the campaign as a battle with "liberal unions" and even claiming support from GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Recent proponent television ads and election literature liken the campaign on Propositions 1, 2 and 3 to an earlier "right-to-work" campaign, claiming that national unions are once again pouring millions of dollars into the opposition campaign in an attempt to undo the legislation. Right-to-work legislation came to a vote in 1986 when the Idaho electorate voted against being forced into union membership in the workplace.
Gov. Butch Otter is quoted in new proposition campaign literature as accusing "big labor" of targeting Idaho again in a campaign that has more to do with union power than education for Idaho students.
Propositions 1, 2 and 3 will be separately put to Idaho voters in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Proponents of the education reforms need to vote yes, while opponents need to vote no. A simple majority wins.
Proposition 1 addresses legislation that reduced the power of teachers unions in negotiations with school districts by basically restricting discussions to just salary and benefits and eliminating from the table union ability to negotiate curriculum and class size. The legislation further removed tenure as a consideration in the event of staff reductions.
Proposition 2 addresses legislation that implemented a pay-for-performance plan for teachers in an attempt to insert teacher achievement, as measured by student achievement test scores, into pay structures previously based solely on years of experience and education levels.
Proposition 3 addresses legislation that provides new technology to classrooms with state funding to be appropriated to supply every high school student in Idaho with a laptop computer. The legislation requires that high school students complete two online courses to graduate.
All three measures were introduced by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna in 2011 and approved by the Legislature that same year.
"Teachers are students' best mentors and advocates," the opposition group states. "They use their voices to fight for lower class size and safer classrooms, but Proposition 1 tries to silence those voices by making it illegal for teachers to negotiate on behalf of their students.
"Proposition 2, is another top-down mandate that forces more teaching to the test. This one-size-fits-all approach to education also means less local control of our schools.
The Blaine County School District has not taken a position on the propositions. Trintje Van Slyke, president of the Blaine County Education Association, said the teachers union is against them.
"Basically, BCEA is urging voters to vote no on Propositions 1, 2 & 3," Van Slyke said.
In a written statement to the Idaho Mountain Express, Morgan Hill Jr., communications director for Vote No – Prop 1,2,3, addressed a question about what happens if the legislation is upheld.
Luna provided a written statement to the Express regarding a question of what happens if the legislation is repealed.
"If these laws go away, it would be very disruptive for Idaho's schools and districts," Luna stated. "Right now, the state is on a path to creating equal access to the best educational opportunities for all students, no matter where they live.


Bose manufactures several wireless, Bluetooth-driven products. The company sells headphones, portable speakers, wireless headsets for smartphones and full home sound systems that can play off a Bluetooth connection, if desired. The range of options makes it possible to take your music just about anywhere. Additionally, the company is known for the high-quality sound that its devices deliver. Using the Bluetooth functionality requires pairing the speaker or headphone with the device playing the music. This requires Bluetooth functionality on the device itself, which is standard in most modern smartphones, tablets and even laptops.
Devices without Bluetooth functionality built into the system can still utilize an external Bluetooth adapter that makes them compatible with the Bose Bluetooth settings.
Pairing your headset and Bluetooth device manually is often possible with a few simple steps. Access the settings on your iPhone or Android device. Depending on the model, you may have a quick link for Bluetooth pairing. The Samsung 8+, for example, has a Bluetooth icon in the quick access top menu. Select the icon, and a window appears with a list of Paired Devices and Available Devices. If the headset has been previously paired, it will show in the paired devices list. If the headset is available and has not yet been paired, it will show in the available devices column. Simply select the headset device from the list to pair your Bluetooth. In some cases, it will take up to a minute for the pairing to complete. When the device is new, it can take a little longer, but it still should connect quickly and become immediately available for use.
The Bose Connect App makes it easy to link and manage your Soundsport wireless headphones and most of your Bose Bluetooth devices. The app makes it easy to switch among your multiple devices and adjust your Bluetooth settings from one easy app. The app also manages voice controls for the Bose headphones and can read your headset in the control panel. The app is free through Google Play or the iTunes store. If you are not seeing the Bose wireless headset or headphones on your smartphone default settings or within the Connect App, check the headset for power. You must turn on the power source at the headset to activate your Bluetooth and complete the connection.

De islam is de op drie na grootste religie in Oekraïne en wordt aangehangen door 0,6% tot 0,9% van de totale bevolking. De religie heeft een lange geschiedenis in Oekraïne die teruggaat tot de oprichting van de Kanaat van de Krim in de 15e eeuw.

De meerderheid van de Oekraïense moslims zijn etnische Krim-Tataren en behoren tot de hanafitische rechtsschool van het soennisme. Ook andere Turkse volkeren, zoals Wolga-Tataren, Azerbeidzjanen, Oezbeken, maar ook etnische groepen uit Noord-Kaukasus en Arabische immigranten, zijn beoefenaars van de islam. In 2012 woonden naar schatting 0,5 miljoen moslims in Oekraïne, waaronder 300.000 Krim-Tataren. In februari 2016 telde Said Ismagilov, de moefti van Ummah, een miljoen moslims in Oekraïne.

De belangrijkste islamitische instellingen die de moslimgemeenschappen ondersteunen, zijn te vinden in Kiev, de Krim, Simferopol en Donetsk. De sjiitische gemeenschap is voornamelijk geconcentreerd in Kiev, Charkov en Loehansk.

Geschiedenis
Hoewel etnische Oekraïners overwegend christelijk zijn, bestaat al eeuwenlang een islamitische gemeenschap binnen het grondgebied van het huidige Oekraïne. Moslimnederzettingen zijn vooral geconcentreerd in de zuidelijke helft van het land, en dan met name op de Krim, hoewel er in andere regio's, zoals Wolynië en Podolië, ook dorpen van Lipka-Tataren zijn te vinden. De geschiedenis van de islam in Oekraïne wordt vaak geassocieerd met de Krim-Tataren, die zich in de 15e eeuw in het zuiden van Oekraïne vestigden.

In 1917, aan het einde van de Russische Revolutie, vormden moslims een derde van de bevolking van de Krim. Bijna alle grote steden op de Krim hadden een aanzienlijke moslimbevolking.

De islamitische Krim-Tataren werden in 1944 massaal gedeporteerd toen Jozef Stalin hen beschuldigde van samenwerking met Nazi-Duitsland. Meer dan 200.000 Krim-Tataren werden gedeporteerd naar Centraal-Azië, voornamelijk naar de Oezbeekse SSR. Naar schatting stierf meer dan de helft van de Krim-Tataren als gevolg van de deportatie door verhongering en ziektes. De door de Krim-Tataren verlaten eigendommen en gebieden werden toegeëigend door etnische Russen die door de Sovjetautoriteiten werden hervestigd, wat leidde tot grote demografische veranderingen op de Krim. Pas in 1989 begon de repatriëring van de Krim-Tataren naar hun thuisland.

Aantal
Schattingen van het aantal Oekraïense moslims variëren. Moslims vormen circa 0,9% van de Oekraïense bevolking, maar liefst 12% op de Krim. Volgens de telling van 2001 woonden in Oekraïne 248.193 Krim-Tataren, 73.304 Wolga-Tataren, 45.176 Azerbeidzjanen 12.353 Oezbeken, 8.844 Turken , 6.575 Arabieren en 5.526 Kazachen. Een studie van het Pew Forum uit 2011 schatte de moslimbevolking van Oekraïne op 393.000 personen. Volgens Said Ismagilov, de moefti van Oekraïne, woonden in februari 2016 een miljoen moslims in Oekraïne.

In Saoedi-Arabië werd in 2012 een kopie van de eerste volledige vertaling van de koran in het Oekraïens uitgebracht.

How to Make a Glass Globe Terrarium – DIY Succulent Dish Garden #michaelsmakers | My favorite gifts to give, and receive, are those that keep on giving well after the holidays have past. You can never go wrong with living plants in my book. Especially succulents – which are easy to maintain and require very little care.
Today's project not only includes these marvelous plants, that I simply adore, but provides a cozy glass home for them to thrive and grow. The glass globe terrariums are incredibly easy to put together and require just one skill – glueing!
These succulent dish gardens were created for the Michaels Makers December theme of handmade holiday gifts and creative gift wrapping ideas. That means all of the supplies needed to create the glass globe terrariums can be picked up right at your local Michaels. Of course you'll also have to stop by your local garden center for the live plants and dirt.
Step One: Use the mounting putty to position the dowel caps onto the side of the glass globe.
It takes a little maneuvering to get the wooden dowel caps placed correctly – so the mounting putty is only temporarily used to get the placement right and create some guidelines.
Step Two: Use a Sharpie to mark the placement of the wooden dowels, inside the glass globe.
Don't worry about the Sharpie marks – they easily wipe right off the glass with a little bit of cleaner.
Step Three: Remove the mounting putty from the wooden dowel caps, making sure to remove any residue left behind.
To prevent the glass globe from rolling around, sit it on top of a wide rimmed cup or bowl with the Sharpie marks facing up.
Attach the wooden caps to the glass bowl with the Elmer's ProBond Advanced . This glue is made to bond two different mediums together – like glass and wood. I highly recommend this specific brand for this project.
The glue grabs quickly and dries clear so you don't have to worry about any messes.
Since there is no 'clamping' – I suggest to let the glue sit, dry and cure for 24 hours.
Step Four: Once the glue has completely dried stain or paint the wooden dowel caps.
Open terrariums are perfect for sun loving plants that prefer a dry environment – like succulents and cacti.
Succulents have shallow root systems so I picked up a few minis at our local garden center to tuck in the glass globes.
There are many successful soils for succulents as they are not real fussy plants. You can make your own using equal parts of potting soil and pumice or perlite – or simply use pre-mixed Cactus Soil.
The only other materials needed are some pebbles (to aid in drainage), charcoal (to keep the terrarium fresh) and sphagnum moss (to filter the soil).
Begin by filling the container with a layer of pebbles. The pebbles on the bottom allow for good drainage and prevent root rot.
Next add a layer of Sphagnum Moss . The moss will allow water to drain while providing a barrier to prevent your soil from settling down into the rocks.
Then sprinkle a light layer of activated charcoal. This is optional. The addition of charcoal filters the air and keeps it fresh. Activated Charcoal is generally used in aquarium filters and can be found in pet stores.
Finally fill the container with the soil and tuck in those gorgeous succulents.
The two key elements for succulent success are a sunny location and light watering.
These terrariums will only need a teaspoon of water every month.
Sometimes simple homemade gifts are the best gifts of all.
This post is brought to you by Michaels . The opinions read here are entirely my own. Kick off the holiday season with Michaels . If you're looking for the perfect gift for your loved ones this year, check out the Gift Guide from Michaels. Did you know you can now shop online with Michaels with Free Shipping on orders over $50 or free in store delivery? Happy Holiday crafting!
I love succulents, and this is such a beautiful way to showcase them. Thank you!
I was happy to see this great post. I was just thinking earlier this week that I wanted a glass container project with succulents !
Beautiful pictures and a lovely finished product.

Ansible ist ein Open-Source-Automatisierungswerkzeug zur Orchestrierung und allgemeinen Konfiguration und Administration von Computern. Es kombiniert Softwareverteilung, Ad-hoc-Kommando-Ausführung und Software-Configuration-Management. Die Verwaltung von Netzwerkcomputern erfolgt unter anderem über SSH und erfordert keinerlei zusätzliche Software auf dem verwalteten System. Module nutzen zur Ausgabe JSON und können in jeder beliebigen Programmiersprache geschrieben sein. Das System nutzt YAML zur Formulierung wiederverwendbarer Beschreibungen von Systemen.

Entstehung
Das Projekt Ansible startete im Februar 2012 und die Plattform wurde von Michael DeHaan erstellt, dem Autor der Server-Provisioning-Applikation Cobbler und Co-Autor des Func-Frameworks zur Fernadministration. Anwender von Ansible sind beispielsweise das Fedora Projekt, Hewlett-Packard Deutschland, der deutsche Webhoster Hetzner und die Universität Thessaloniki. Ansible ist enthalten in der Fedora-Linux-Distribution des Unternehmens Red Hat Inc. und auch verfügbar für Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Debian, MacOS, Scientific Linux und Cygwin. Prinzipiell ist Ansible mit allen Unix-artigen Betriebssystemen nutzbar. Ab Version 1.7 unterstützen diverse Module auch Windows über Powershell-3.0-Befehle.

Im Januar 2016 wurde die Version 2.0 veröffentlicht.

AnsibleWorks
Am 4. März 2013 wurde die Firma AnsibleWorks gegründet. Sie ist maßgeblich an der Entwicklung von Ansible beteiligt und bietet verschiedene Produkte rund um Ansible an, darunter Support und eine Browser-basierte Benutzerschnittstelle.

Am 16. Oktober 2015 wurde bekanntgegeben, dass Ansible Inc. (ursprünglich AnsibleWorks Inc.) durch Red Hat Inc. übernommen und in das eigene Portfolio integriert wird.

Architektur
Wie die meisten anderen Konfigurationsmanagement-Systeme unterscheidet Ansible zwischen Konfigurationsüberwachung und Knoten, auf denen die Konfigurationsänderung durchgeführt wird. Diese Knoten werden von Ansible via SSH verwaltet, wobei die Lage der Knoten im Inventar der Konfigurationsüberwachung verwaltet wird.

Designziele
 minimalistisch
 Managementsysteme sollten keine zusätzlichen Abhängigkeiten von der Umgebung erfordern.
 sicher
 Ansible setzt keine Agenten auf Knoten ein. Nur OpenSSH und Python (bzw. WinRM oder OpenSSH und Powershell unter Windows) sind auf den verwalteten Knoten erforderlich.
 zuverlässig
 Wenn sorgfältig geschrieben, können Ansible-Playbooks idempotent sein und damit unerwartete Nebenwirkungen auf die verwalteten Systeme vermeiden.
 leicht erlernbar
 Playbooks verwenden eine einfache beschreibende Sprache, die auf YAML- und Jinja-Templates basiert.

Module
Jedes Ansible-Modul kann eigenständig und in einer beliebigen Programmiersprache geschrieben sein. Dabei sollten die Module idempotent sein, was bedeutet, dass selbst wenn ein Vorgang mehrfach wiederholt wird – z. B. bei der Wiederherstellung nach einem Ausfall – das System immer in denselben Zustand versetzt wird.

Inventar
Das Inventar ist eine Beschreibung der Knoten, auf die von Ansible zugegriffen werden kann. Standardmäßig wird das Inventar durch eine Initialisierungsdatei beschrieben. Die Konfigurationsdatei listet entweder die IP-Adresse oder den Hostnamen jedes Knotens auf, der von Ansible zugänglich ist. Darüber hinaus können Knoten gruppiert werden.

Ansible kann auch dynamisch Daten aus anderen Systemen beziehen.

Playbooks
Playbooks beschreiben Konfigurationen, Deployment und Orchestrierung in Ansible. Das Playbook-Format ist YAML, wobei jedes Playbook eine Gruppe von Hosts zu einer Reihe von Rollen zuordnet.

AWX
AWX ist eine REST-API, ein Web-Service und eine Web-basierte Konsole. Damit kann die mit Ansible verwaltete IT-Infrastruktur zentralisiert werden mit einem visuellen Dashboard einschließlich Verwaltung aller Inventare, einer rollenbasierten Zutrittskontrolle, Job-Scheduling und Nachrichten.

Marginal structural models (MSMs) are increasingly used to address confounding issues in biomedical reserarch. This meta-epidemiological study seeks to explore whether modern MSM-based analyses of 'real world' observational data can be used to reliably guide health care decision making. We aim to identify potential factors or characteristics of 'real world' data sources, analytical approaches, or clinical topics which affect the reliability of observational data analyses. If possible, a list of criteria that affect the reliability of 'real world' observational data should be created that will inform future guideline development, health care decision making, and research.

Q: Type conversion of maps in go Given a typedef of: "type ID int"
Is it possible to convert a map[ID]int to a map[int]int?
I've tried:
map[int]int(m)

as well as
m.(map[int]int)

and neither seems to work:
http://play.golang.org/p/oPzkUcgyaR
Any advice?

Edit more details, since a couple people asked.
What I'm trying to do is score a league.
There are a bunch of "Teams", and each has a number of stats.  For each stat, you get 10 points for being highest scoring, 9 for 2nd etc.
I modeled this as:
// Each team's statistics:
type StatLine map[StatID]float64

// The whole league:
map[TeamID]StatLine

// And I want to score that whole league with:
func score(s map[TeamID]StatLine) map[TeamID]int

// Only, is't also handy to score individual players:
func score(s map[PlayerID]StatLine) map[PlayerID]int

And it would be great not to write score() twice (since it's the same logic) or copy the whole map over.
It happens that PlayerID and TeamID are ints, hence I was curious if I could just write score(s map[int]int) and do type conversion.  However, SteveMcQwark makes it clear why this might be a bad idea.
I think generics would solve this, but I know they're not immediately forthcoming.  Any other ideas?
Thanks!

A: If you really want to do generics in Go, you need an interface.  This interface will be implemented by two types, one for teams and one for players.  The score function will take an object of this interface type as an argument and implement the common scoring logic without knowledge of whether it is working with teams or players.  That's the overview.  Here are some details:
The method set of the interface will be exactly the functions that the score function will need.  Lets start with two methods it would seem to need,
type scoreable interface {
    stats(scID) StatLine  // get statLine for ID
    score(scID, int)      // set score for ID
}

and a generic scoreable ID type,
type scID int

The types that can implement this interface are not TeamID and PlayerID, but types that hold maps of them.  Further, each of these types will need both maps, the StatLine and score maps.  A struct works for this:
type teamScores struct {
    stats map[TeamID]StatLine
    scores map[TeamID]int
}

Implementing scoreable then,
func (s *teamScores) stats(id scID) StatLine {
    return s.stats[TeamID(id)]
}

func (s *teamScores) score(id scID, sc int) {
    s.scores[TeamID(id)] = sc
}

Wait, you might say.  That type conversion of scID to TeamID.  Is that safe?  Had we might as well just go with the low-enginering approach of not even having TeamID?  Well, it's safe as long as these methods are used sensibly.  The struct teamScores associates a map of TeamIDs with another map of TeamIDs.  Our soon-to-be-written generic function score takes this struct as an argument and thus is given the correct association.  It cannot possibly mix up TeamIDs and PlayerIDs.  That's valuable and in a large enough program can justify this technique.
Do the same for PlayerID, define a similar struct and add the two methods.
Write the score function once.  Start like this:
func score(s scoreable) {
    for

Oops, we need some way to iterate.  An expedient solution would be to get a list of IDs.  Let's add that method:
type scoreable interface {
    ids() []scID          // get list of all IDs
    stats(scID) StatLine  // get statLine for ID
    score(scID, int)      // set score for ID
}

and an implementation for teamScores:
func (s *teamScores) ids() (a []scID) {
    for tid := range s.stats {
        a = append(a, scID(tid))
    }
    return
}

Now where were we?
func score(s scoreable) {
    // lets say we need some intermediate value
    sum := make(map[scID]float64)
    // for each id for which we have a statLine,
    for _, id := range s.ids() { // note method call
        // get the statLine
        stats := s.stats() // method call
        // compute intermediate value
        sum[id] = 0.
        for _, statValue := range stats {
            sum[id] += statValue
        }
    }
    // now compute the final scores
    for id, s := range sum {
        score := int(s) // stub computation
        s.score(id, score) // method call
    }
}

Notice the function takes the interface type scoreable, not pointer to interface like *scoreable.  An interface can hold the pointer type *teamScores. No additional pointer to the interface is appropriate.
Finally, to call the generic function, we need an object of type teamScores.  You probably already have the league stats, but might not have created the score map yet.  You can do all this at once like this:
ts := &teamScores{
    stats:  ...your existing map[TeamID]Statline,
    scores: make(map[TeamID]int),
}

call:
score(ts)

And the team scores will be in ts.scores.

A: The conversion rules are a tradeoff between expressiveness and maintainability. Whenever you convert between two types, you are making a gamble that those types will remain representationally and logically compatible in the future. One of the goals of the type system is to minimize the spread of dependency on this compatibility. On the other hand, it is very useful to be able to define multiple method sets that can operate on the same data, and conversions allow you to select the appropriate method set as needed to operate on existing data. You can only do conversions in cases where you could legitimately be swapping out method sets on otherwise identical types, which excludes the case you are asking about.
It might be useful to know what you're trying to do, rather than how you're trying to do it. I mean, you could wrap a map[ID]int in a func(int)(int, bool) if you just need read-only access to it, or you could use an interface { Get(int)(int, bool); Set(int, int); Delete(int) }, but there's a good chance this is unnecessary.

A: It might be over-engineering to have separate types TeamID and PlayerID.  If you used the same type for both, say ScoreableID, the problem would go away.  In most cases, a variable name, function name, or the program context would make it clear whether something was a player or team.  A comment would be appropriatiate in any remaining ambiguous code.

Fernando Soledade (Rio de Janeiro,  — , ) foi um atirador esportivo brasileiro.

Representou o país nos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 1920, em Antuérpia, na Bélgica. Conquistou uma medalha de bronze na disputa de pistola livre de 50 m por equipe.

Soledade era médico, prestando serviços médicos à Diretoria Geral do Tiro de Guerra. Foi filiado à Confederação Brasileira de Tiro Esportivo, então ligada ao Exército Brasileiro, e venceu os campeonatos brasileiros de 1909 e 1910. Participou dos primeiros eventos internacionais de tiro disputados na América do Sul, denominados Torneio do Centenário da Argentina (1910) e os Jogos Pan-Americanos, (maio/1912), vencendo no segundo um bronze por equipe na prova de revólver.

Fora a homenagem recebida do presidente Epitácio Pessoa pela equipe de tiro na volta ao Brasil, não há informações sobre o que ocorreu com a vida de Soledade após a Olimpíada. Por esse motivo, José Roberto Torero escolheu Soledade como protagonista de Ouro, prata, bronze e… Chumbo!, um curta-metragem sobre a equipe de tiro que venceu as primeiras medalhas olímpicas brasileiras. Lançado em 2012, o curta tem o formato de um falso documentário filmado por Soledade, interpretado pelo ator Clayton Bonardi.

Hummus is basically the best food in the world!
And I know hummus isn't traditionally seen as a sweet thing, but trust me on this one. It is amazing.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I love chickpeas. They are packed full of fibre and protein and having a daily portion of chickpeas or other type of bean or legume has pretty much solved my IBS and gut issues.
But I found all my chickpea-based meals were getting a bit same-y so I wanted to create a dessert that would ensure I could still get my daily bean hit even if I didn't fancy chickpeas in a main meal.
And, after A LOT of experimenting, this chocolate hummus was the result.
It's a cross between a cake batter, chocolate mousse and ice cream. Seriously, you HAVE to try it.
It took a bit of playing around to get the texture I wanted but I finally discovered the trick – microwave the chickpeas with the cocoa powder and oh-my-gosh you end up with the creamiest, dreamiest hummus once it's blended! It does mean you have to wait until the hummus cools for you to eat it but it is SO worth the wait.
This hummus lasts a good couple of days in the fridge and I swear it gets richer and creamier with time.
I'm also experimenting with making it into a banana-free, avocado-free smoothie bowl for those of you who aren't banana or avocado fans so watch this space!
A dessert hummus that is rich, creamy, and super chocolatey. Perfect for dipping fruit in, smothering on banana bread, or eating with a spoon!
Empty the can of chickpeas into a mixing bowl. Add the cocoa powder and stir well.
Cover and microwave for 3-4 minutes.
Leave to cool slightly and then add to a blender with the maple syrup, tahini, vanilla extract and coconut oil. Process until smooth and creamy. Taste and add a little more maple syrup to sweeten if needed.
Leave to cool at room temperature, cover and place in the fridge for a couple of hours become even richer and creamier.
*You can replace the tahini with a nut butter of your choice for a nuttier flavour. Peanut butter is a favourite of mine!
*If you're not a fan of maple syrup, then feel free to switch with honey. If you prefer a more bitter dessert then feel free to use a few drops of stevia instead.


It is a photo sharing app that allows you to take photos and edit them with the help of some preset frames, filters and effects and then share them on a variety of social networks.
Is it only for professionals?
If it was at first, its not what it has become. Instagram has become a popular app and allowed EVERYONE to share photos.
Does Instagram make you a better photographer?
I promised earlier on twitter to have my calendar uploaded when I get home after work, but this seems very late after alight change in plans. I will be going to the movies instead. So here I am, trying my best to upload all the sizes possible for you to have it on your desktops.
The photo is taken by me in Ghbaleh where I had spent my vacation last week. The photo is of the base of a large urn in the courtyard of Saydet Sh2eef Church.

Oration
Anti Defamation Commission
The annual ADC Gandel Oration in Melbourne and Sydney is a highlight of the year. Since 1984 the ADC has hosted international statesmen, academics, judges, Rabbis and politicians who have addressed complex human rights issues with insight, expertise and erudition.
Our Orators
Tzipi Livni, has been described as the most powerful woman in Israeli politics since Golda Meir, and was chosen by Time Magazine in 2007 as one of the most influential people in the world. In 2011, she was named one of "150 Women Who Shake the World" by Newsweek magazine. In a career spanning 20 years, she served with four Prime Minister and held such posts as Acting Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Justice and Foreign Affairs Minister among other cabinet roles. At the end of 2005, Mrs Livni, together with the late Ariel Sharon and other prominent political figures in Israel, formed the Kadima Party. As Foreign Affairs Minister, she led the round of peace negotiations with the Palestinians in nearly a decade and became the face of the peace process in Israeli politics. She was also the leader of the Kadima party and won the 2009 elections. As a member of Sharon's inner circle, she helped plan Israel's unilateral withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2005. Founder and leader of the Hatnua party, prior to the 2015 elections, Livni joined forces with Labour leader Isaac Herzog to form the Zionist Union alliance. The new party won 24 seats, second only to Likud.
Ambassador Dore Gold
Ambassador Gold was the eleventh Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations (1997-1999). In January 2014, he was appointed as an external advisor on international issues to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During Prime Minister Netanyahu's first term, and in the capacity of foreign policy advisor, Ambassador Gold served as an envoy to the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Jordan and the Gulf States. Ambassador Gold also served as an advisor to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Ambassador Gold was a member of the Israeli delegation at the Wye River negotiations between Israel and the PLO outside of Washington. He negotiated the Note for the Record, which supplemented the 1997 Hebron Protocol and in 1999 concluded the negotiations with the U.S., Lebanon, Syria and France for the creation of the Monitoring Group for Southern Lebanon. In 1991, he served as an advisor to the Israeli delegation to the Madrid Peace Conference. From 1985 to 1996, he was a senior research associate at the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, Tel Aviv University, where he was Director of the U.S. Foreign and Defense
In June 2015, Dore Gold left the Jerusalem Center, which he had led since 2000, to serve as Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs until October 2016, an appointment by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During his tenure at the Foreign Ministry, Ambassador Gold advanced policies that strengthened Israel on a global level – from Africa and Asia to the Mid- East and the Western world.
Ambassador Gold has written books and articles on the Middle East, including The Rise of Nuclear Iran: How Tehran Defies the West (Regnery, 2009), The Fight for Jerusalem: Radical Islam, the West, and the Future of the Holy City (Regnery, 2007), Tower of Babble: How the United Nations Has Fueled Global Chaos (2004), Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism (Regnery, 2003), and U.S. Military Strategy in the Middle East (Tel Aviv: Ministry of Defense Publications, 1993).

Q. Does Bloomsburg University have access to the Wiley Online Library?
I would like to read an article from there for a class and I was wondering if we have a password to access the website.
We have access to a number of Wiley publications. Best way to see if we have access to a specific journal is to search for it in Publication Finder, You will be prompted if off-campus to sign in with your Husky SSO, but if you also get prompted to login with a Wiley user name/password, then the library does not have access. However, in that case you could request the article you wanted through interlibrary loan, which is free and takes less than 24 hours for the article to be delivered. Let me know if you have further questions.


This isn't a need to know, just curious- what are head bolts made from? I've ruled out meatloaf and peanut brittle.
Just wondering if they are a grade- anything in particular, or if they're an alloy specifically hardened and tempered for that use.
I think grade 8 or better.. The aftermarket head bolts I bought for a 4-cyl motorcycle engine were grade 8 anyway... Not sure what grade the OEM bolts were but the grade 8 feel stronger.. I think the OEM were chocolate brittle but they didn't taste good at all.

Greek Bailout Passes as Country Limps into Economic Purgatory
Alexis Tsipras was able to garner enough support to pass the new bailout measures through the Greek parliament by a
Jeff Patterson | Expert Insights ( Executives ) | Thursday, 16/07/2015 | 11:13 GMT+1 2015-07-16 10:13:34

The recently forged European bailout plan, and third within a five-year window, summited a major hurdle yesterday after passing through the Greek parliament by a count of 229 of 300 votes. However, despite a tepid Greek endorsement, serious headwinds remain for the country as it begins to recover from the economic calamity endured during the past few weeks.
Thanks in large part to assistance from the Syriza's opposition party, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was able to garner enough support to pass the new bailout measures, thus allaying fears from a number of skeptics across the continent. The vote itself was integral in helping unlock key funding for Greece, which paves the way to bridge financing to help avert a banking insolvency. On the table as well will be the augmentation of the emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) lifeline to 'thirsty' Greek banks that have virtually dried up.
The Greek population has languished under capital controls and pension rations since the beginning of the month, with the economy slowing to a virtual standstill. Despite yesterday's anti-austerity protests, the capitulating approval of widely unpopular measures will go a long way in ensuring the reopening of banks that are now in their third week of closure – perhaps more importantly, Greece will remain bound to the Eurozone.
Default Specter Looming
After more than a month of self-imposed deadlines, default warnings, and other developments that have convulsed the Greek population, the latest timetable now sees a payment deadline to the European Central Bank (ECB) as early as Monday.
In the interim, Eurogroup finance ministers will meet to discuss immediate assistance to Greece as early as today in a bid to prevent a banking insolvency or worse. The approval of the newest tranche of bailout funds $94 billion strong will certainly go a long way in helping ensure the payment of previous debt obligations and the stabilization of commerce after effectively grinding to a halt over the past month – or so both sides hope.
The deal itself was heralded with optimism, exasperation, and outright rancor, with such tough measures serving as a bitter pill to swallow for Greek leaders and its population, already in the midst of a recession, whose economy has contracted 25%. Critics range from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, both of whom ultimately see long-term headwinds for Greece absent of any tangible debt relief – currently illegal under EU legal framework.
Spinning the Wheels
The terms of the latest Greek bailout represent the toughest doctrine and stance to date for the beleaguered country. According to a recent IMF report on debt sustainability, Greece will continue its debt vector into unsustainable territory, possibly as high as 200% of its GDP over the next few years. While Eurogroup leaders have left the door open to the prospect of debt reconstruction, an overall write-down at the present was summarily dismissed.
Moreover, the accord hinges on the prospect of securing an effective buffer of collateral, in this instance over $50 billion in state assets from Greece. Unfortunately, the plausibility behind this initiative will be treading on a precarious foundation, notwithstanding the enigmatic structure of Greek property ownership and the logistics of aggregating a valuation even close to the Eurogroup's target.
Subsequently, the ongoing conundrum of Greek debt relief, coupled with predictions of further economic contraction from even the most optimistic of sources, threatens to bring this situation to a head in the not-so-distant future.
Political Upheaval Coming?
The passage of the bailout measures, most notably on the heels of a steadfast referendum campaign against them by Mr. Tsipras and the Syriza government could also portend a political shakeup in Greece.
Indeed, Mr. Tsipras has seen his parliamentary majority evaporate after a series of defections and resignations, which may suggest he will have to soldier forth with a minority government. Alternatively, a move has not been ruled out of a reshuffle of parties into a government of national unity. Such a decision could be vital to holding together a fragmented base and ensuring a smooth reception of bailout measures and some level of return to normalcy for the Greek population.
Markets were upbeat on the news with European stock indices in positive territory Thursday morning. At the time of writing, the EUR/USD has also fallen below the 1.0900 handle at 1.0897.

(Newsweek) – Cyclone Idai isn't going anywhere. The storm has long since subsided over southeast Africa, leaving at least 750 dead from the cyclone and the flooding that followed it. But those waters have created a hotbed of disease, leaving unhygienic conditions and the beginnings of cholera, malaria, and typhoid outbreaks behind, Al Jazeera reports. Even before Idai made landfall in Beira, Mozambique on March 15, heavy rain had already flooded much of the country and nearby Zimbabwe and Malawi.

LOOKING AT STARS THAT NEVER WON MAJOR TITLES
Football players always dream of winning titles after all the hard work.
It might not their top priority but at some point they would always want the joy of lifting titles. Some talented players have worked very hard yet they have never won major titles. We look at some of them, recent ones in no particular order.
Italian Giuseppe Signori makes this list. He netted 283 times in his career but he never quite got to lift a major trophy. He was the top scorer in the Serie A for three years out of four. He was the top scorer in the Coppa Italia two times but it was after he left that Lazio won the Coppa Italia, UEFA Super Cup and even the Serie A.
Bernd Schneider is a decent star that made finals multiple times but he never lifted the title. He played in the Bundesliga, coming close in second place twice in 1999/2000 and 2001/2002; he played in the DFB Pokal, emerging runners up in 2001/02 and 2008/09, and he was in the team that reached the Champions League final in 2001/02 yet no single victory. He played at the FIFA World Cup in 2002 yet a silver medal. How unlucky he must feel. Luigi Di Biagio also has numerous runner up finishes with no major credit.
Antonio Di Natale comes close. He scored 47 times in the Serie A in five years before the age of 30. He scored an impressive 120 goals from age 31 to 36 yet he has no major title to his name.
Rob Lee is another skilful talent. He featured for Newcastle United after joining in 1992. He featured in over 300 matches, endearing himself to the fans but honours eluded him.
Adrian Mutu, a former Chelsea star, also counts as his only two medals were revoked following the Italian football scandal. He was banned for months for drug abuse and is not generally held in high esteem. Cristiano Doni comes to mind I Love Football. He stayed too long with Atalanta before ending his career on a poor note, without any honours.

Pete Souza comes for your feels with Obama family 'This Land Is Your Land' Instagrams
This land was made for you and me.
By Nicole Gallucci on June 2, 2017
Credit: Pete souza/instagram
> Life > Climate Change
Pete Souza has absolutely had it with President Trump and he's not holding anything back.
After Trump announced that the U.S. was officially pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement on Thursday, a disappointed Souza shared his grief by posting a photograph of Obama's signed Paris Agreement acceptance letter.
Now he's coming for Trump with a series of powerful Instagram posts: photographs of the Obama family enjoying the wonders of our natural world, each captioned with lyrics from the popular traditional american song, "This Land Is Your Land."
SEE ALSO: Obama photographer Pete Souza on Trump: 'We failed our children'
On Friday morning, Obama's former White House photographer shared a stunning photograph of Barack, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha at Acadia National Park in Maine.
He simply captioned the throwback, "This land is your land. This land is my land." With the first lyric to the iconic anthem, he appears to have set off on making another of his classic political statements through social media.
About 20 minutes later, Souza posted another nostalgic photograph of Obama standing alone in California's Yosemite National Park, overlooking some mountains and admiring his surroundings. The second Instagram post was captioned, "From California to the New York Island," aka the second line from "This Land is Your Land."
After about another 20 minutes Souza hit us with a third adorable photo Of Obama and his daughter Sasha in the water at Panama City Beach, Florida. As you can guess, it was captioned, "From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters."
A fourth post, captioned "This land was made for you and me" came, showing Obama with children in Everglades National Park in Florida.
And yet another photo showing the Koko Head Hiking Trail in Hawaii.
He shared one more of Obama checking out that endless skyway in Alaska's Kenai Fjords National Park.
And another of our former POTUS chilling in Oahu in some fresh kicks.
Then came a breathtaking shot from Mount Mansfield in Vermont, which Souza captioned, "This land was made for you and me. The future depends on all of us."
After Trump's announcement on Thursday, Souza post the following photo with the caption, "He tried. But we failed our children." Souza seemed to be very emotionally affected by the decision, so it's no surprise that he's not ready to let Trump off the hook just yet.
It should, however, be noted that the song Souza is referencing, by Woody Guthrie, was originally seen in 1940 as an angry, progressive response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America." His original lyrics actually included a reference to a big wall. (Ugh.)
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me. The sign was painted, said 'Private Property.' But on the backside, it didn't say nothing. This land was made for you and me.
Since then the song has transformed into a classic patriotic anthem of America. And from what we know about Souza's impressive ability to Insta-troll Trump while simultaneously pointing out all the things he loved about Obama's presidency, we have a feeling Souza will keep the posts coming, line by line.
And rest assured, if he does continue, we'll be sure to update this article accordingly.

A magnificent example of neo-classical architecture
House Closed
Gardens/Parklands Open
Café Takeaway only
From 1 January 2022:
R32 C44V
Emo Court is a quintessential neo-classical mansion, set in the midst of the ancient Slieve Bloom Mountains. The famous architect James Gandon, fresh from his work on the Custom House and the Four Courts in Dublin, set to work on Emo Court in 1790. However, the building that stands now was not completed until some 70 years later.
The estate was home to the earls of Portarlington until the War of Independence forced them to abandon Ireland for good. The Jesuits moved in some years later and, as the Novitiate of the Irish Province, the mansion played host to some 500 of the order's trainees.
A Major Cholmeley-Harrison took over Emo Court in the 1960s and fully restored it. He opened the beautiful gardens and parkland to the public before finally presenting the entire estate to the people of Ireland in 1994.
You can now enjoy a tour of the house before relaxing in its charming tearoom. The gardens are a model of neo-classical landscape design, with formal lawns, a lake and woodland walks just waiting to be explored.
