The Lensherrs have had some company lately. Lord Magnus, ruler of Genosha, has played host to his old friend Christopher Summers, and Christopher's three sons Scott (who brought along his fiancée Emma Frost), Alex (who is currently taking part in a secret affair with Lord Magnus' daughter Princess Lorna) and Gabriel. In addition to the Summers, visitors from the country of Attilan have also been guests in the palace. Their presence has lead Prince Pietro (who is engaged to British princess Betsy Braddock) to begin seeing Crystalia Amaquelin (one of the visiting diplomats from Attilan) in a romantic fashion.
Meanwhile, Princess Lorna has been attempting to juggle her affair with Alex Summers with her more public relationship to Carter Gazikhanian. This all comes just as her sister Princess Wanda began dating Everett Thomas, a young guardsman who saved both princesses' lives during an attempted terrorist attack.
All these young people are seen as pawns to Queen Magda, the conniving matriarch who sees insuring the throne has an heir as her first priority. Her sense of urgency stems from the fact that her husband Lord Magnus is dying of a mysterious illness, known only to her and the royal family's aide-de-camp Jean Grey. In an attempt to make the family look more sympathetic, she has sent her children and their friends to Haiti, to aid in the earthquake relief efforts there.
Genosha has recently been plagued by a string of vicious attacks by a mysterious terrorist organization run by A strange woman calling herself The Black Queen. One of her disciples, one Cordelia Frost (or Pogrom as she prefers) is currently being held prisoner by the Red Guard, Lord Magnus' elite military squad. Pogrom is sister to palace visitor Emma Frost.

Het gedenkteken voor Jacob Jordaens is een 19e-eeuws monument in de Nederlandse plaats Putte ter nagedachtenis aan de Antwerpse schilder Jacob Jordaens.

Achtergrond
Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) was een 17e-eeuws barokschilder in Antwerpen. Van huis uit katholiek, bekeerde hij zich tot het protestantisme. Omdat in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden in die tijd geen protestantse begraafplaatsen waren, werd hij begraven in de hervormde kerk van Putte, in de Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden. Deze kerk werd in 1794 door Franse republikeinen verwoest. In 1829 werden de fragmenten van Jordaens' grafzerk teruggevonden. In 1845 werd de zerk van Jordaens samen met die van de schilders Adriaen van Stalbemt (1580-1662) en Guilliam de Pape (1600-1674) gerestaureerd onder leiding van Pierre Cuypers. Ze werden toen door een hekwerk omgeven.

C.E. Ebbinge Wubben, rijksontvanger in Putte, nam in 1875 het initiatief voor een nieuwe restauratie en pleitte daarbij voor de oprichting van een monument. Het jaar erop werd een commissie gevormd, met vertegenwoordiging vanuit België en Nederland. Leden naast Ebbinge Wubben -inmiddels burgemeester van de gemeente Vries in Drenthe- waren onder meer de Antwerpse burgemeester Léopold de Wael, schepen E. Allewaert, de schilder Jozef Israëls en oud-Eerste Kamerlid mr. De Jonge van Ellemeet. De opdracht werd door de commissie gegund aan de Belgische beeldhouwer Jef Lambeaux. Lambeaux maakte een monument in neobarokke stijl, met een buste van Jordaens en portretmedaillons van Van Stalbemt en De Pape, waarin ook hun grafzerken werden opgenomen. Het gedenkteken werd onthuld op 22 augustus 1877, ten tijde van de feesten die in Antwerpen werden gehouden ter gelegenheid van de 300e geboortedag van Rubens. Burgemeester De Wael, voorzitter van de commissie, ontving bij de onthulling de versierselen van grootofficier in de Orde van de Eikenkroon, de avond daarvoor had De Jong van Ellemaat de Leopoldsorde ontvangen. Het monument werd in de jaren 1950 gerestaureerd.

Beschrijving
Het met guirlandes versierde hardstenen monument heeft twee ingezwenkte vleugelstukken, waarin aan beide zijden atlanten zijn geplaatst. Het wordt bekroond door een bronzen buste van Jacob Jordaens. Aan de zijkanten zijn portretmedaillons van Van Stalbemt en De Pape geplaatst, aan de voorzijde schildersattributen als een palet, penselen en papier, omgeven door een lauwerkrans. In het vierkante voetstuk zijn de grafzerken van Jordaens, Van Stalbemt en De Pape verwerkt.

Aan de achterzijde is een gedenksteen geplaatst met de tekst:

Waardering
Het gedenkteken werd in 1971 als rijksmonument in het Monumentenregister opgenomen.

Installing a Ruby Gem is very similar to how you install a normal package using your systems package manager. However in this case you need to explicitly state that the gem provider will handle the install.
Much like a package that is installed via the default system provider Puppet will not track new versions of the package unless ensure => 'latest' is set.


If you are on the lookout for a 6 in 1 model, that means that you mean business.
Searching for one is easy but finding a high-quality heat press machine nowadays is tough when you consider how many models there are on the market.
Through numerous hours of testing and countless sweat being spilled, we have managed to sort out the best 6 in 1 heat press machine!
Our measurements for this type of review were numerous and only the best out of best came out on top when things such as weight, the presence of a timer, temperature control or power input were on the line.
Without further ado, here is the best 6 in 1 heat press machine that you can currently buy on the market.
The first time I have seen this baby on the shelves, I knew it was something special.
The materials used in building this thing was absolutely top notch and the six different handles were tailored for different types of materials being used.
I was very impressed by the weight of the machine itself: With only 66 pounds to its name, it was a supermodel among similar models.
6 in 1's are usually notorious for being hard to transport but this one really takes the cake as it allows for much-needed flexibility.
This put my fate back into the belief that the 6 in 1 could come back in popularity, all thanks to this model!
Most machines don't even have one equipped but this company made sure that the controls were absolutely easy to manage, even for an old chap such as me.
I liked how you could set the heat press machine to work for over several hours, without having to worry about the timer not registering the numbers.
I'm not the type of guy that likes to wait for things very long and that's why I was positively surprised when I saw how fast that thing heated up.
I fell in love with the machine once I saw that it was completely compatible with transferring vinyl.
Also, the paper sheets worked flawlessly once put it and ensure that everything flows smoothly.
Nothing too flashy or attractive, this company decided to keep it old school.
What served as a huge plus for this machine was easy it was to move it from one place to another.
We already talked about how slim the heat press was in comparison to its competitors but that is not the only thing working the magic.
You see, the F2C features a swing design which not helps in flexibility but also keeps the heat press even once the heating transfer is taking place.
This one is a huge pet peeve of mine; If I want to handle a 6 in 1 that means that I need to be able to use a variety of different materials in the heating process.
Following that logic, what must a heat press machine make happen in order to enable me to do that?
It needs to be able to work under different temperatures and adapt to all sorts of conditions.
This spot shines for this heat press, as it features a huge temperature range, between 0-250 Centigrades (32-430 Fahrenheit degrees)!
I'm of the stern belief that no product is perfect and what needs a bit more tailoring would definitely have to be the power cord.
With only 110V to its name, I'm sure that the company can do a tweak or two to increase the output.
Not that it isn't sufficient enough as it is right now, it just feels like that this extra sort of bump would make the machine run even better.
I would most definitely recommend buying this machine to everyone.
It is a cut above all the competitors and I see that a lot of care has gone into designing it.
To finish off my review, I would say that it deserves a 9,5 out of 10.
I believe that in the future, we can expect a whole lot more from this company!

My husband is a bigger Flickr user than I am and has a lot of contacts. Looking over his shoulder, I'd often see him browsing photos of the same engaging tuxedo cat. Every day there would be a new batch….
Her fur has a kind of odd texture. Soft, but like a cheap stuffed animal. She hisses at Sophie, but it is often preceded by a pig-like grunt. Normally, she's very quiet, but her regular voice sounds like a Tribble….
Try to slip a pizza ad in our door, and you'll be forced to provide a belly rub.


Held on the first Thursday every month* at 10:15, Coffee and Chat is just that. A place to come and have drink, some cake and chat.

Candace Cameron Bure Reveals Her Family Was 'Approached' About Doing Their Own Reality Show
By Meredith Nardino
Sticking to her script. Candace Cameron Bure isn't sure she and her family are cut out for the reality TV lifestyle.
From 'Full House' to Hallmark! Candace Cameron Bure Through the Years
"I don't think we're interesting enough to have a reality show around us," the Fuller House star, 44, joked while speaking to Us Weekly exclusively about her partnership with The Salvation Army. "I think we're pretty boring."
Though her family might not bring the drama that reality TV fans are used to seeing, the Christmas Town actress admitted that producers have floated the idea to her once before.
"We were approached for reality [TV], but a long time ago and it just wasn't something that works for us," Cameron Bure explained. "I've never been approached for Housewives [or] anything, nor have I ever seen a Housewives show. [I] don't think that one's for me."

The Dancing With the Stars season 18 alum wed hockey player Valeri Bure in June 1996 after being introduced by her Full House costar Dave Coulier at a charity sports event. The duo went on to welcome three children: daughter Natasha, 22, and sons Lev, 20, and Maksim, 18. While spending time together at home amid the coronavirus pandemic, Cameron Bure and her family have been trying to make the most of a difficult circumstance.
'Tis the Season! A Guide to Every Holiday Movie Airing on TV This Year
"It totally tested us, but in the best of ways," the Dancing Through Life author told Us of her quarantine experience with Valeri, 46. "I'll be honest because we try. We both travel so much. So we were like, 'This might be the most amount of time we've actually spent together in years. This is either going to make us or break us.' And you know what? It's made us."
The Emmy nominee has been "really grateful" for the extra time she's been able to spend with her husband. After more than 20 years of marriage, the couple has only grown "stronger."
"So many things are put in perspective just being at home and then you talk through a lot of things and you realize, 'What are the things we have to work on? What are the things that are working well?'" she explained to Us. "I'm so grateful for my family time because I've re-evaluated my work schedule, the time that I'm away from my family and realized that that was not a good balance for me."
Candace Cameron Bure's Quotes About Decades-Long Marriage to Valeri Bure
While the former The View cohost feels lucky to spend time at home with her loving family, she realizes not everyone is as fortunate. For the third year in a row, she's working with The Salvation Army to bring Christmas magic to millions of families in need across the country.
"They do so much good work throughout the year and this year because of the pandemic and COVID things are, are different," she told Us. "So we're asking everyone to go to rescuechristmas.org and donate there, or drop a few dollars in when you do see the red kettle or set up a monthly donation. … It really does make a huge difference."

Event in which a microchip (identification transponder tag) was implanted in the artist's left ankle. Tuesday, November 11, 1997, at 10:00 PM, São Paulo, Brazil. Live television broadcast of the performance produced by Canal 21 (Brazil).
Eduardo Kac, GFP Bunny, 2000
Eduardo Kac was born in 1962 in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). In the early eighties, he cultivated a career in performance art, presenting a series of weekly public performances. One such event took place in 1982 on Ipanema Beach during the 60th anniversary of Brazil's Week of Modern Art of 1922. (1)
In 1989, Kac headed to Chicago, Illinois (USA), to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he earned a master of fine arts degree the following year. Kac is now a Ph.D. research fellow at the Centre for Advanced Inquiry in Interactive Arts (CAiiA) at the University of Wales in Newport, Wales, and an assistant professor of art and technology at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has exhibited extensively all over Europe and North and South America and received many prizes and awards, including the Leonardo Award for Excellence, ISAST in 1998 and the Inter Communication Center (Tokyo) Biennial Award in 1999.
Kac began his artistic career as a traditional performance artist but eventually moved on to investigate technology artistically through an exploration of poetry. After becoming dissatisfied with the unidimensionality of the printed word, Kac turned to holography. In 1983, he coined the term "holopoetry" (2) to describe his three-dimensional floating texts and thus began an intense relationship between artistic practice and the possibilities of technology. Works created during this time include Holo/Olho (Holo/Eye) (1983) and Chaos (1986). (3) From there, he moved on to telecommunications art and in 1986 produced his first telepresence work with remote-controlled robotics. (4)
Telecommunications art (the use of telecommunication devices such as a fax, telephone, radio or television) is an art form that according to Kac, "demonstrates the necessary move from pictorial representation to communicative experience." (5) Experience, as opposed to "the object," is substantially more unstable, open and ephemeral, but nonetheless very much linked to the material body. In that respect, for Kac, "the word 'immaterial' should be understood here as applied not to something that doesn't give itself to the senses, but as something whose ultimate reality cannot be translated into tangible materials." (6) The decision to focus on communication rather than materiality has inspired Kac to significantly reconsider traditional notions of the "viewer" and "art object" and unabashedly create his own art forms.
In 1989, Kac began working on a series of telepresence works titled Ornitorrinco (1989-1998). (7) In collaboration with hardware designer Ed Bennett, Kac created a telerobot that would respond to signals sent through various telecommunication devices. The remote audience, situated in various geographical locations throughout the life of the project, could transmit information to the robot and retrieve it from the robot's point of view. In 1994, the project evolved to include the use of the Internet. In 1996, Kac continued his exploration of telerobotics with Rara Avis (1996), a networked telepresence installation located at the Nexus Contemporary Art Center in Atlanta, Georgia, and Teleporting an Unknown State (August 4 to 9, 1996), an interactive telematic installation linking the Contemporary Art Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, to the Internet.
After thoroughly exploring the possibilities of telematics and telepresence, Kac began exploiting his interests in the new area of genetics and biotechnologies. On November 11, 1997, Kac performed Time Capsule (1997) live on Brazilian television (Canal 21). In the presence of a physician and a live television audience, Kac implanted a microchip into his left leg that allowed his body and his identity to be registered in an animal-identification database used to track lost pets. After the implant, the microchip was Web-scanned from Chicago. Within minutes of the operation, Kac was officially registered as both owner and pet. The extremely public and performative nature of this work echoes Kac's early public performances in Rio de Janeiro. This satirical fusion of flesh and technology was one of the artist's first explorations into biotechnological art. His subsequent genetic works reflect this desire to viscerally implicate the body in technology.
Kac's next collaboration with Ed Bennett in 1997 was for the work A-positive. Kac describes this work as one that :
"Probes the delicate relationship between the human body and emerging new breeds of hybrid machines that incorporate biological elements and from these elements extract sensorial or metabolic functions. The work creates a situation in which a human being and a robot have direct physical contact via an intravenous needle connected to clear tubing and feed one another in a mutually nourishing relationship. To the new category of hybrid biological robots we ascribe the general epithet 'biobots.' Because of its use of human red blood cells, the biobot created for A-positive is termed a 'phlebot.'" (8)
Introducing new terms into contemporary art criticism is something Kac has continually explored ever since his early experiments with holopoetry. His prolific career as an artist has been supplemented by his dynamic role as a critic and theorist. He has published in such journals as Leonardo, Visible Language et Art Journal. (9) In both his art and his writing, Kac has promoted three new areas of contemporary art, which he terms telepresence art, biotelematics, and transgenic art. Kac defines telepresence art as the merger of telerobotics and communications media; biotelematics as art in which a biological process is intrinsically connected to computer-based telecommunications; and transgenic art as an art form using genetic engineering to transfer either synthetic genes to an organism or natural genetic material between species so as to create unique living hybrids. (10) This last "art" form extends from the issues Kac explored with A-positive and Time Capsule.
Kac has broken new and often controversial ground with his recent project Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 in an artistic, yet very social and political context in an age when questionable genetic experiments are practised globally. In the projects GFP K-9 (1998-present) and GFP Bunny (1999-present), he has extended his transgenic explorations to mammals. In both projects, Kac has used a GFP (green fluorescent protein) commonly found in Pacific Northwest jellyfish to examine issues of genetic control and biotechnologies. Kac intends to breed a dog (GFP K-9) that will have the fluorescent protein encoded in its DNA. The dog will emit a green glow when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Given the advances that must be made in mapping the canine genome, this project is a work-in-progress. (11)
GFP Bunny, now more commonly known as Alba since her birth in February 2000, is a successful attempt to breed a rabbit that carries the glowing protein. Kac says he wanted to demonstrate through this installation that transgenic art doesn't involve only the creation of mutant, hybrid creatures as objects. He intends to integrate Alba into his family and promote responsibility for genetic experimentation within the artistic community. (12)
Eduardo Kac is continuing his research into the Genesis project and plans to create Genesis 2, which will focus on the protein produced by the synthetic gene spawned in Genesis 1. Kac is clearly dedicated to raising social awareness about the issues he spotlights in his art and to exploring a new artistic discourse for contemporary culture.

1. We teach you written and spoken Romanian vocabulary.
Every study on language learning and frequency starts with stating that subtitles are the best way to discover word frequencies that you will use in day to day situations.
Our dictionaries are made out analyzing millions of Romanian subtitles. Subtitles are the best choice to find out how often you use a word. Subtitles correlate to both spoken and written texts, respectively 73% and 85%, according to science.
Other frequency lists often base themselves on written texts (e.g. newspapers, fiction novels, non-fiction books, etc.) While this helps discover the most common words, it lays the focus on written vocabulary.
Our frequency dictionaries are unique, because they cover both spoken and written vocabulary.
2. You'll know actual useful words fast.
Remember studying a language in high-school? In most language learning programs, you start with the "basics".
You go through each chapter, starting at 1. Ninety-nine percent of the time, chapters are divided thematically.
This approach is wrong. It is utterly ineffective.
Traditional learning methods are designed to make you able to handle yourself in a broad range of situations.
Traditional learning methods have you learn words like "throat" very early on.
But "gâtlej" (throat) is only ranked as the #8349 most common Romanian word. Not very useful learning it early on, is it now?
Our frequency dictionaries teach you actual useful words, words that you are most likely to encounter and use in real life situations.
How Much Romanian Words Do You Need To Know To Achieve Fluency?
While it's impossible to pin down these numbers and statistics 100% correctly, the follow estimates are a global average of multiple sources. According to science, this is the amount of vocabulary needed for different levels of fluency.
250 words: the essential core of a language. Without these words, you cannot construct any sentence.
750 words: those that are used every single day by every person who speaks the language.
2500 words: those that should enable you to express everything you could possibly want to say, although some creativity might be required.
5000 words: the active vocabulary of native speakers without higher education. You will understand 95% of all written texts.
10,000 words: the active vocabulary of native speakers with higher education.
20,000 words: what you need to recognize passively in order to read, understand, and enjoy a work of literature such as a novel by a notable author.
What level of Romanian will I achieve with this book?
The Romanian English Frequency Dictionary covers vocabulary from A1 to C2+.
To measure proficiency in a language, we utilize the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) ratings.
A1: Beginner. You are able to to communicate and exchange information in a simple way. E.g: You can ask simple questions about a menu and understand simple answers.
A2: You are able to handle simple, straightforward information and you can to express yourself in familiar contexts. E.g: You can take part in a routine conversation on simple predictable topics.
B1: You can express yourself in a limited way in unfamiliar situations, and you can deal in a general way with non-routine information. E.g: You are able to open an account at a bank, if it is straightforward procedure.
B2: You are able to achieve most goals and express yourself on a range of topics. E.g: You can show visitors around and give a detailed description of a place.
C1: You will be able to communicate with the emphasis on how well it is done, in terms of appropriacy, sensitivity and the capacity to deal with unfamiliar topics. E.g: You are able to handle hostile questioning with confidence. You can get and hold your turn to speak.
C2: The capacity to deal with academic or cognitively demanding material. You are able to use language to good effect at a level of performance which may in certain aspects be more advanced than that of an average native speaker.
E.g: You can scan texts for relevant information, and grasp the main topic of texts, reading almost as fast as a native speaker.
Note: the Common European Languages Framework does not provide a clear vocabulary size for any of its levels, so we do not know how many knows words are expected at each niveau.
In 2009, a notable study tried to measure vocabulary size needed for various levels of fluency. These are the results for English, French and Modern Greek.
The Romanian Frequency Dictionary For Learners covers vocabulary from A1 to C2+. Keep in mind, Romanian is a romance language.

Case Study: Skyloft Digital Brand Presence
Johnson Trube & Associates, a full-service real estate development brokerage and consulting firm, partnered with Catalyst to assist in the lease-up of Skyloft, a new 18-story student housing property in Austin, Texas. The property was in a unique position where the physical building did not yet exist, but marketing needed to take place during the construction phases to not only create awareness and excitement in the market, but also generate a significant pre-leasing effort via a strong digital branding presence.
The Catalyst team established the brand look and feel along with the creation of a marketing strategy that would help support leasing efforts for the Skyloft team — a custom website, search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), social media marketing (SMM), and reputation management. A strong brand presence was created with visual appeal that caused the client to stand out among the more traditional competitors within a very saturated market. To generate interest and boost leasing efforts for a unit unseen, Catalyst created a marketing strategy that encompassed the use of strategic digital tools.
SEO was utilized to maximize the clients' online brand visibility while ensuring the site is streamlined and optimized to offer the best user experience, avoid search engine red flags, and implement strategic development and indexing of content. This allowed the brand to reach as many users as possible who are searching for an apartment to rent near campus.
The implementation of SEM was also a critical component to the brand's lead generation efforts to leverage the power of search engines such as Google to reach potential customers. By using a thoughtful and strategic approach to building out their SEM campaigns, Catalyst ensured Skyloft reached precisely the users they were looking for, at the perfect time and place, via text ads on the Google Search Network.
The off-campus property also incorporated Catalyst's reputation management service, which is designed to maintain the property's branded image and serve as a beneficial tool to increase leasing traffic. Each review received personalized communication, while the client received Online Reputation Assessment (ORA™) score monitoring, operational insights, PR and legal support, and more.
In addition, a strong aspect of establishing a standout digital presence was the implementation of SMM, where Tier 1 (static image) ads ran on Instagram that captured the targeted audience's attention.
Skyloft provides a great example of how starting branding and marketing efforts early in the process leads to pre-leasing success. By November 2017, the property had leased more than 91.1% of their beds while still five months away from officially opening their doors. Skyloft also successfully established brand recognition in the market, as evidenced by their social media following and online rankings. The top-performing SMM ad campaign used a meme approach to promote the luxury amenities of the new property, which produced impressive results — 21,007 impressions, 10,711 targeted users reached, and the meme post received 214 likes, 20 comments, 37 post shares, and 617 ad clicks.

That was my first tour to Alaska !
USA / CANADA © Copyright by Ch. Breier
From Toronto I hitchhiked across Canada for 6 months to Alaska and then back to Toronto !
Unfortunately this was also the year when the oil tanker Exxon Valdez caused the oil spill in Alaska, that was not a nice sight...
In Fairbanks/Alaska I met my good friend Mark (AL7HT). He usually lives with his family along the Kandik River, a tributary of the Yukon River, above the village of Eagle.
He was in Fairbanks because his wife had a baby. When the child was just born he received a radio message that his cabin had fallen victim to a rioting bear. He had destroyed the food cache, of course with the food inside. He had also raged in the actual cabin. Mark was completely on the ground. He now had a newborn and an unusable cabin.
I offered him to come with kim to the Kandik River and help him to bring the cabin back in shape. He was delighted about my offer and promised me, if I help him, he would show me everything at the Kandik! But there was no more room for me in the front of the car, so I had to drive together with some dogs in the back of the truck. That was no amusement, because after some time it smelled quite strong. But I made it through this ride!
Arriving in Eagle we prepared everything for the departure in a small Super Cub, of course I had a Husky on my lap during the flight. Lori, Mark's wife stayed in Eagle with her newborn and her little daughter Magan. They would follow when Mark and I had fixed the cabin.
The flight to Kandik was a lot of fun for me, the dog also participated and was very quiet on the flight and didn't do any "business", luckily. It's amazing on what rough ground these small machines with their thick tires can land!
The cabin looked really bad, the bear and the spring flood had done there job. All the food, or rather what was left of it, was scattered all over the area. There was a lot of work waiting for us.
The days passed and the cabin and its surroundings became liveable again. When Lori and the children were back at Kandik the first snow fell.
It was time for the moose hunt. Mark and I made our way upstream towards the Indian Grave River, a tributary of the Kandik. As it was against the current we had to pull the canoe up the river for a few days. Unfortunately, despite intensive search we did not see a moose. But for the first time in my life I heard wolves howling!
(later I was informed that Mark had shot a moose after all)
Mark kept his word and showed me everything you need to know in the bush. In long conversations I learned a lot about life in the bush. But most important of all, I found in Mark a true friend.
The days went by and I had to fly back to Eagle. Because my visa was expiring slowly. I said goodbye to Mark and his family and flew back to Eagle. There I got a ride in a truck to Fairbanks.
I spent a few days in Fairbanks and then hitchhiked towards Canada. A car with two young women stopped a few hundred kilometres before the border. They said I could go with them, but only on the open loading area. Super, and that at temperatures around freezing.
Man, that has been a cold ride. At the border a customs officer checked my papers and I was in Canada. Suddenly the truck stopped and I was allowed to drive in front.
They were just scared because they didn't know who I was. After the officer at the border had decided that I was ok, it was ok for them too. Very simple logic!
Actually I wanted to hitchhike the Alaska Highway back to Toronto, but Cynthia Sheridan, the name of the driver of the truck told me to take the Alaska Ferry to Prince Rupert Canada and on this occasion I could also stop by her in Juneau.
Since I had never travelled through the Inside Passage, the waterway between Alaska and Canada, I agreed. So we drove towards Hains/Alaska and there to the ferry to Juneau.
The ride was really breathtaking. We saw many whales. After arriving in Juneau I also met Walt, Synthia's father. And again I found a true friend whom I met again many times in the following years.
I had a big affection towards Cynthia. So after a few weeks I left Juneau with an unhappy stomach! But the ride through the Inside Passage was simply awesome.
I saw many whales and other sea creatures. The other passengers on the ship were also great folks. They came from every imaginable country. It was the year 1989, the year of the tanker accident at the Prince William Sound. The most devastating oil disaster in Alaska. It was so terrible that I don't want to remember it at all. That's why I won't go into any more detail here.
Just so much, everyone who has seen this catastrophe live will never be able to forget it!!!
Arriving in Prince Rupert I had to go through customs again, as I came from Alaska.
Without many questions I got another 6 months visa for Canada.
I didn't want to hitchhike across Canada again so I took the Greyhound bus to Toronto in Prince Rupert, which took 5 days. Not very amusing I can tell you.
After I arrived in Toronto I spent some time with my relatives and then flew back to Germany.
But this journey to Alaska, especially the time with Mark at Kandik and the time in Juneau had changed me.
From then on it drew me magically back to Alaska and I think that will never change !
Many thanks to Mark and Walt and of course to Cynthia!

KATHMANDU, May 14: After three years of the devastating earthquake that shattered the country, Nepal started reconstruction of the quake-damaged historical temple Kasthamandap from Monday.
Nepali Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Rabindra Adhikari laid the foundation stone to rebuild the temple located within Kathmandu Durbar Square in the center of capital city.
"Rebuilding of Kasthamandap which carries the name and history of Kathmandu has begun from today. The temple will be constructed with the participation of general public and will be ready by next three years," minister Adhikari said in the event.
Reconstruction of this ancient three-storey pagoda styled temple is being undertaken by Kathmandu Metropolitan City.
Kasthamandap temple is the seventh century heritage of the country, which is also known as the oldest temple built during Lichhavi period. It was built from the timber of a single tree.
It is believed that the name of capital Kathmandu has been derived from the same word Kasthamandap. The structure had collapsed during the earthquake of 2015 killing nearly a dozen, who were gathered in the temple premise.
Though reconstruction of the temple had begun after the disaster, it was put off immediately followed by protests from local public, conservationists and cultural experts. The temple was being reconstructed using steel and concrete while the locals demanded originality.
According to the Department of Archaeology, 753 temples and heritage monuments were damaged in the 2015 earthquakes across the country.

Eastern Daily Press Sports Editor Chris Lakey, who covered Paul Lambert as Norwich boss, gives his thoughts on how he might fare at Ipswich Town.
He's changed a little since his days at Carrow Road: the face is a little more thick set, the hair more salt and pepper. But I suspect the sharp tongue and active brain is still in full working order.
Lambert isn't one for soundbites, so if you are expecting a tub-thumping arrival full of vainglorious declarations, forget it.
Weekly media conferences - pre- and post-match – were often repetitious, no matter what he was asked. Lambert likes dealing with football people: the players, other managers.
He was always good with the supporters at Norwich: he knew which buttons to push, but rarely, if ever, over-stepped the mark.
When City did the double over Ipswich in 2010-11, he never boasted about it. Not even off the record. Disrespect was not his bag.
The image he will create is likely to be one of total commitment to the cause. From everyone. Himself, his coaching team, his players, the fans. Because his mantra is, it is all about the players and the fans. It is not him, not his assistant, not even the owner.
It's a refreshing outlook, but of course it counts for nothing if things don't happen on the pitch.
At Norwich, he had a squad of under-achievers campaigning in League One. They took it by the scruff of the neck. He had Grant Holt and Wes Hoolahan in his team, ripping teams apart. And he supplemented it by bringing in hungry players – rarely did he knock on the doors of Premier League managers begging a loan. Instead, he identified players who would spill blood for the cause.
Lambert's teams were swashbuckling and engaging, full of heroes: it's hard to recall a time when you went to a match not thinking they would win. He instilled that sort of confidence in everyone.
His star clearly doesn't shine as brightly today: he didn't pull up any trees at Villa, Blackburn, Wolves and Stoke. Maybe the old Paul Lambert has gone. Maybe it was a one-off and maybe Norwich City got lucky.
But if the fire still burns within, then there is a lot of hope for Ipswich Town.

Netnod AB (tidigare Netnod Internet Exchange i Sverige AB) är ett dotterbolag till Stiftelsen för Telematikens utveckling (TU-stiftelsen) som bland annat har som syfte att driva de centrala knutpunkterna i Sveriges del av Internet på ett neutralt och självständigt sätt. I Sverige har bolaget sex knutpunkter: Göteborg, Malmö, Sundsvall, Luleå och två i Stockholm.

De första dagarna efter att Ipred-lagen trätt i kraft, meddelade media att enligt Netnods trafikgrafer hade internettrafiken minskat med 44 procent i bolagets knutpunkter. Netnod menade att bolaget självt inte dragit den slutsatsen, då svensk internettrafik även kan gå via andra knutpunkter.

Q: Regex which invalidates a combination of digits, hyphens(-) and/or dots(.) Currently I have a regex to validate letters, digits, hyphens and/or dots.
^[A-Za-z0-9]+(?:[-\\.]?[A-Za-z0-9])$

That makes these values valid:
"john.doe"
"john123"
"johndoe"
"john-doe"
"john-doe.123"

What I need in addition is rejecting values that only contain a combination of digits, hyphens or/and dots. Meaning the value has to have at least one letter to be valid.
This includes:
"123"
"1.2.3"
"1-2-3"
"12.3"

Any idea?

A: This regex should work:
/^(?:[0-9][-\.]?)*[A-Za-z](?:[-\.]?[A-Za-z0-9])*$/

*

*Enforces at least one letter

*Allows hyphens and dots only to be followed by digits or letters

*Doesn't allow hyphens or dots at beginning or end

(Regexr)

What a great picture! You wrote the perfect poetic accompaniment. I especially love the "ahem"-- It adds just the right note! Thanks for starting my day with a smile!
This is so charming! I think that little furry Oliver Twist has been hanging around my window too.
Ha! Your squirrel knows a good food source when he sees one... Thanks for the morning chuckle.
Really fun poem, Suzy. I like the sense of menace that you create with the idea that the squirrel knows who you are and where you live. A peanut/day seems a small price to keep this gangster at bay... but what if he ups the ante?
So, so cute. I also love the "ahem." I think your squirrel's brother lives at my house.
My squirrels show up when I go out the door, but so far do not peek in. Love your picture and the poem about your very polite squirrel who says "Ahem? One peanut, please." Love it!
Wonderful, thanks for the smile Suzy!
Hahaha! So perfect, Suzy! I know this squirrel's cousin!
Suzy, this is wonderful. Funny picture, that is exactly what he is saying.
I think his cousin is at my house! Fun poem Suzy.

But hey, don't worry, Casey Hudson says 'Anthem' will be great.
Developer BioWare is in a much different place today compared to where it was when producer Casey Hudson left. Sure, the studio cancelled its multiplayer game Shadow Realms, but no one knew much about it so it wasn't a huge blow in terms of public perception. As far as we knew, Mass Effect: Andromeda was still on track to be the awesome space-opera RPG fans had been waiting for since 2012 and everything was on the up and up. Now, of course, we know that wasn't the case. In a post on the BioWare blog, Hudson apologized for how that game turned out. Specifically, the scuttling of DLC that'd wrap up Andromeda's Quarian ark storyline.
"That experience ultimately became a defining moment in refocusing BioWare's mission," Hudson writes. "We need to delight players with new experiences and innovation, but we must stay focused on the importance of the world, character and storytelling elements that players expect from our games."
He goes on to say that the studio's work must "continue delivering new stories and experiences" to players in an "ongoing relationship" in the worlds BioWare is creating. And speaking of which, Hudson says that its upcoming online shooter Anthem will do precisely that.
We haven't seen or heard much about Anthem since E3 last year, but with 2018's show mere months away, that'll almost assuredly change soon. With extra development time, hopefully BioWare can stick the landing.


Forest is one of the most precious natural resources of Latvia and its usage has always been economically important for the country. However, forest is not only source of wood, but also complex and unique system where you can find great biodiversity and is a value itself – system, where in co-existence interact wide range of living organisms, whereas improper forest management can lead to biodiversity loss.
Forest has been associated with clean air, specific odor, feeling of freedom and atmosphere where to relax from the city noise and haste. In Latvia forest as a natural resource can be found in large areas with rich biodiversity, therefore its conservation is one of the most important tasks.
Global climate change is among the most important environmental problems nowadays. There are no single solution for this problem yet, however one thing is clear – resource usage for energy production should be sustainable and effective.
Importance has been given to energy saving, energy efficiency improvement and alternative energy source usage to reduce potential impact on environment. Usage of such energy sources can reduce harmful emissions to environment and supports local resources.
Currently we are cooperating with Russian non-governmental organization "Green cross" to find energy efficiency improvement solutions for Ostrov city, as well as inform society about current problems and solutions to reduce energy consumption.
Water is fundamental to all life on Earth. Territory of Latvia is rich not only with inland waters, but its also surrounded by Baltic Sea which always have had big importance both historically and nowadays – its coastline stretches 500 km along the territory of Latvia. Sea serves as an ecological environment for its inhabitants and is also special for its coastal diversity – white beach sands, dunes and bluffs that creates typical coastal scenery of the Baltic Sea.
Currently loading of the Baltic Sea is particularly intensive – traffic, agricultural activities and dense population inevitably affect the quality of water, therefore its ecological condition needs increased attention.
Association's activities regarding Baltic Sea are focused on pollution reducing measure promotion and sustainable use of marine resources.
Currently Environmental Development Association is official partner from Latvia, within the transnational cooperation project Submariner whose aim is to research new uses of marine resources and find solutions for idea development.
Furthermore, Association takes active participation in transnational cooperation project Cleanship, where solutions for adaptation to coastal infrastructure are being found to reduce the amount of ship borne pollution.
Biodiversity is a cornerstone of the existence of ecosystems. Everything is connected with everything, therefore every species has a major role to keep the balance.
Although in Latvia you can find high variety of biodiversity and human untouched ecosystems, however, still there are various kind of processes that threatens this important balance of biodiversity.
Unfortunately nowadays we are witnessing loss of biodiversity that can lead to unpredictable consequences. Our aim is to create public awareness that we can co-exist with nature only if we keep biodiversity and treat it with respect.
Currently Association is preparing to submit Life+ project. Project is focused on conservation of biodiversity and restoration of species.
Together with National Botanical Garden of Latvia and Botanical Garden of Tartu University, Association will create solution for environmental education infrastucture improvement and will organize extensive public education campaign to inform about significance of conserving nature and about possibilities to improve situation.

COVID measures impact Costco Wholesale April 2020 sales
COVID-19 measures such as social distancing restrictions cut into Costco Wholesale April 2020 sales. Comparable sales for the four weeks ending May 3, 2020 decreased 5 per cent in Canada and remained flat in the U.S.
Total net sales of the four weeks ending May 3, 2020, were $11.39 billion, a decrease of 1.8 per cent from $11.60 billion last year. However, sales for the 35-week weeks ending May 3, 2020 increased 7.8 per cent reaching $107.65 billion, up from $99.89 billion. Sales for that 35-week period in Canada and the U.S. were up 5.1 per cent and 7.1 per cent respectively.
Costco reports that "April sales were negatively impacted by COVID-19. Stay-at-home orders, social distancing restrictions and some mandatory closures led to decreased traffic and sales in our warehouses. Limited service in Travel and our Food Courts; closures of most of our Optical, Hearing Aid and Photo departments, and lower volume and price deflation in our gasoline business negatively impacted our April sales by an estimated 12 percentage points, of which approximately 70 per cent related to gasoline."


The D-PDU API software is available for both EDIC interfaces and CAN interfaces from SOFTING. It can also be used for retrofitting EDIC- or CAN interfaces already existing at the customer site. If required, third-party vehicle interfaces with a proprietary programming interface can also be equipped with the SOFTING D-PDU API software.
The growing volume of driver assistance and infotainment systems in modern vehicles is making greater demands in terms of download time for flash programming. The SOFTING D-PDU API supports DoIP according to ISO 13400 and is thus perfectly prepared for current performance requirements.
EasyPDU reduces the complexity of the D-PDU API programming interface and allows a simpler, object-oriented access to the functionalities of the D-PDU API. EasyPDU is designed for use with C++, Python and .NET.
SOFTING provides you with optimum support in your projects based on comprehensive expertise gained through long years of active participation in standardization committees, a range of customer projects and the extensive portfolio of hardware and software products. SOFTING can implement its existing expertise to great effect particularly with new projects in connection with D-PDU API, D-Server and ODX – especially with problems concerning the migration of old systems.
This software package is based on ISO 22900-2 International Standard First Edition 2009-02-01 (Part 2, specification release version 2.2.0). It can be used with all EDICusb, EDUCblue, EDICcard2, EDICpci and EDICwlan hardware interfaces from Softing delivered after 1st of July 2010. Operating this software with EDIC interfaces from before that date requires purchase of a special license.
The software license for D-PDU API can be obtained for free when operating with one of the CAN interfaces from Softing or Kvaser together with DTS or OTX products.

Everyone loves a good fairytale. You know, one like where Rapunzel lets down her hair so her lover can climb up it, or where Brexit is a good idea that's TOTALLY going to work, or where you will find love happily ever after because there is that one person in the world who is perfect for you and they just happen to be roughly the same age as you and live within an easily accessible distance from you and are currently single and also think you're the one person for them.
It's that last one that is explored in countless tv shows, songs, movies and more. They all tell us to keep looking. Never settle. Keep searching and, sooner or later, you will find someone perfect, someone who ticks every single box and who you will then spend the rest of your days with in blissful contentment, finding new things to love about them every second of every day.
Not in its entirity, mind you. For almost all of us there are people out there that would be perfect for us. People who make our days better knowing that they are in our lives, who send smiles instantly to our lips as soon as a message is received from them. They are out there, and there are more of them than there are evil politicians (in numerical if not percentage terms). They are not perfect, but they are perfect for us, which is a very different thing indeed.
It's the constant striving for perfection that is the bane of most dating singletons and which needs to be called out. The drive to never settle for anything less than 100%, for perfection, for the perfect jigsaw piece to fit with your life, hopes and dreams.
Going back to fairytales, consider Goldilocks as a tenuous example of this point. As you will no doubt know, she breaks into an innocent family's home, smashes furniture to pieces, ransacks carefully prepared meals and starts squatting (the story is usually told more sympathetically than that, of course). This last stage involves her sleeping in three different beds; the first is too firm, the second is too soft and it's not until she tries the third that she finds it's just right.
In dating terms this is what most of us are doing, whether we accept it or not. We slip into a bed and, from the very beginning, we start looking for a reason not to like it. Swap being firm for "too tall", "too short", "lives too far away", "messages too little", "messages too often", "had a bad breakup", "likes gherkins" or "supports Arsenal". We look at them and, after the first few turns in the bed (as it were) we look for reasons for it not to work. Then we start looking around and notice that there are other beds in view. We have no way of telling how firm or soft they may be, and there's only one way to find out whether or not it might be more perfect for us, so time to jump out of one bed and into another for a test sleep.
In doing so we forget about the reasons why that original bed might actually have been more than good enough after all. No-one ever mentions that it was long enough to stretch out in, wide enough to sleep diagonally on, put in the right position that sunlight fell on it in the morning and that it gave the support that the back actually needs to prevent future curvature; no, it was simply deemed not absolutely perfect in every way after the first attempt at settling into it.
Dating has become too easy and relationships too difficult. Gone are the days where time is spent understanding the nuances of the other person and establishing which can be accepted, which can be changed and which will always be contentious but the rest of the package makes it worth glossing over. We look and we look and we look some more for this mythical fairytale to just happen, and before we know what's happened we look in the mirror and realise we are no longer the handsome prince or the fair maiden; we are the haggard witch or the wrinkled and lonely wizard who meddles in others affairs from afar.
Of course perfection is perfect. That's its definition. Finding someone perfect and creating the perfect, easy relationship is what fairytales are made of. But we don't live in a fairytale. We live in a real, dirty, messy, complicated 21st century world where we don't get ot control the endings to our own stories. We can choose our own adventures and scribble in the margins, but there is no overarching author who has already decided that we will live happily ever after.
We need to stop jumping from one bear's bed to another, always searching for that one which is 100% perfect. Perfection doesn't exist. We all have our flaws, our insecurities, our history and our quirks. We all like our porridge at slightly different temperatures and our mattresses at slightly different firmness. If you stop looking for that perfect match then you'll find someone who you can find a middle ground with where you both win with a little compromise. Neither of you will be losing, that's for sure. It's not settling down, it's helping each other up to where you wouldn't be apart.
It might not be the fairytale ending you dreamed of as a wide-eyed and innocent child, but you probably also dreamed about being an astronaut or a racing car driver or a doctor and instead find yourself very happily doing an office based job which pays all your bills and leaves you mostly content with whilst stretching you to be a better person.
If you can change some dreams and still be happy, why not others? After all, isn't happiness the best fairytale ending ever?
I touched on the fairytale notion too! Must be something in the air!
However, that should not be mistaken for settling for less than either.
It's this very fairytale – often sugarcoated as a failure to settle for anything less than perfect, that is responsible for the number of people unable to find the one.
Having just recently started reading dating blogs, out of interest and maybe a penchant for the macabre , I can't help but notice how many tick boxes have to be checked before even saying Hi in real life.
People forget that fairytales end, we're often just too enamoured with happily ever after to notice.

Stay at the Frey
Vacation Rentals in Palm Springs
Enjoy an unprecedented opportunity to stay in what has been called Palm Springs' most important building – the one that launched Modernism in Palm Springs – Albert Frey's Kocher-Samson Building, newly restored to its original circa 1934 glory!
For Work or Play
Whether you want to stay for the nightlife, enjoy the tourism, or you're in Palm Springs on business, this is the place for you.
What is the Frey?
The architectural historian David Gebhard has called the Kocher-Samson Building "probably the most pure and at the same time workable example of the International style in Southern California."
This class 1 historic site may be Palm Springs' most important building today as it was its very first international style building and it is with this building that the legacy of Palm Springs international modernism was born.
It attracts countless students and scholars who make regular pilgrimages to Palm Springs to visit the building that has been written about by more prominent American architectural scholars than possibly any other in early Palm Springs history.
This is the building that brought Frey to Palm Springs for the first time. Subsequently, it became his home and the setting for his career, an event that changed the course of Palm Springs history. Frey's works are icons of the city and include the aforementioned Kocher–Samson Building, Palm Springs City Hall (1952), the Tramway Valley Station (1963), Frey House II (1964), and the Tramway Gas Station (1965).
According to Brad Dunning in his article in Palm Springs Life, "Albert Frey's arrival in our desert is one of the most pivotal and important moments in local history. The long wished-for restoration of the building has begun and now you have the rare opportunity to stay at the Frey!
City ID 3373
Stay in a Piece of History
On-site laundry facilities also available.
Location! Location! Location!
A prime location in Palm Springs just steps away from the fun!
The Frey is located in the heart of Palm Springs on the iconic downtown strip of Palm Canyon Drive and is surrounded by shops, services, restaurants, galleries, museums, theatres, spas, casino, music venues, & nightlife.
The view of the majestic San Jacinto Mountains from the roof-top deck is unparalleled. There is not a better place to view the events on the main street… the PS Pride Parade, the Festival of Lights Parade, 4th of July fireworks, etc..
Stroll along the street under the palm trees, where the atmosphere is friendly and about fun. Walk to the Farmer's Market, view the stars along the stylish Walk Of Fame, and explore Villagefest on Thursday nights when the street is closed to car traffic and features vendors, music, food, and entertainment.

HPV-Related Cancers Increasing in Men, Women
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports a rise in cancers caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), including cervical and oropharyngeal (head and neck) cancers, as well as vaginal, vulvar, penile, rectal, and anal cancers.
According to the CDC, an average of 38,793 new HPV-associated cancers were diagnosed annually between 2008-2012, including 23,000 in women and 15,793 in men. The CDC estimated more than 79 percent of these cancers were caused by HPV infection. The new numbers are significantly higher than in years past: The 38,793 yearly cases is a 16 percent increase from the previous four-year annual average of 33,369 cases.
The most common types of cancer were cervical cancer in women (11,771 females diagnosed on average each year) and oropharyngeal in men (12,638 males diagnosed, as well as 3,100 females). The CDC published their findings in this week's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
But HPV — and the cancers it causes — is largely preventable. Physicians say these findings stress the importance that both females and males receive the HPV vaccine.
"In the past, people always felt that the boys needed to be vaccinated to protect the girls but, truthfully, they need to be vaccinated to protect themselves," Lois Ramondetta, MD, a gynecologic oncologist and chair of TMA's Committee on Cancer told NBC News. "There is an epidemic of HPV related cancers in men, specifically those of the tonsil and the back of the tongue."
Yet in the United States, just 40 percent of adolescent females and 22 percent of adolescent males have received all three doses of the HPV vaccine. Adolescence is the best time to get the series of shots.
"We know that almost 100 percent of cervix cancers are caused by HPV, 90 percent of anal cancers are caused by HPV, and about 70 to 80 percent of oropharyngeal — which mostly occur in men — are related to HPV," Dr. Ramondetta said in a TMA news release. "If more people received the HPV vaccine, we could prevent these cancers by stopping this infection."
Texas physicians say all adolescents should get the HPV vaccine when they are 11 or 12 years old, as the vaccine is most effective in the body when given before the age of 14. However, older teens and young adults can still receive the vaccine up until age 26.
TMA created an infographic to help educate patients and families about HPV and the HPV vaccine. Download it here in English or Spanish.

Reduce the liquid completely on top of the stove, then pour in 3 dl (1/2 pint, 1¼ cups) brown veal stock, cover the dish, and cook in the oven for 1½ hours.
Drain the ears. Remove the skin which covers the inside and the outside of the thin part of the ears; pull this part down and trim it.
Arrange the ears in a round serving dish, possibly on a bed of slices of bread fried in butter. Skim the fat from the braising liquid and sprinkle over the ears.
