Speyergau was a medieval county in the East Frankish (German) stem duchy of Franconia. It was centred around the administrative centre of Speyer and roughly covered the former Roman administrative area of Civitas Nemetum, which is today the south-eastern portion of the Palatinate region between the Rhine river, the Palatinate Forest range, and some smaller parts of northern Alsace. The Speyergau, together with the neighbouring Wormsgau and Nahegau, was part of the major possessions held by the Salian dynasty of German kings and Holy Roman Emperors.

Counts of Speyergau
Some renowned counts of Speyergau were:
 Werner V (c. 899 - c. 935), the first definite progenitor of the Salian Dynasty, also count of Nahegau and Wormsgau, member of the house of Conradines.
 Conrad the Red (X 955), son of Werner V, also count of Nahegau, Wormsgau and Niddagau, count in Franconia, duke of Lorraine, ∞ around 947 Liutgard of Saxony (born 931, died 953), daughter of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor
Otto of Worms (died 1004), only son of Conrad the Red, also count of Nahegau, Wormsgau, Elsenzgau, Kraichgau, Enggau, Pfinzgau and Ufgau, duke of Carinthia
Conrad II the younger, (born probably 1003, died 1039), grandson of Otto I, also count of Nahegau, Wormsgau, duke of Carinthia (1036-1039)

Rural reeves (Landvogt) of Speyergau
 Georg I. von Geroldseck, count of Veldenz, 1310/15
 Otto V. von Ochsenstein, died 1327, 1291/1302 Landvogt of Ortenau, 1315/27 Landvogt of Alsace, 1318 Landvogt of Speyergau
 Otto VI. von Ochsenstein, Landvogt of Alsace and Speyergau, died before 1377

You are here: Home > About the Nang Rong Projects
The Nang Rong Projects encompass 12 studies that span a period of 20 years in the Nang Rong district in northeast Thailand. The rapid growth and development of this relatively poor farming district provides the ideal context for understanding changes in social networks, migration, agricultural practices, land use and land cover, and population-environment interactions. A team of researchers has collected information from more than 50,000 individuals as well as from administrative records, meteorological data, satellite images, and many other sources, to assemble an extraordinary data collection rich with information.
Nang Rong research contributes to a better understanding of the complex issues — social, demographic, economic, and environmental — of a society in transition. The overarching goals of the Nang Rong Projects:
Collect comprehensive data that follow individuals over the life course and follow households, communities, and landscape through transition.
Use innovative methods to integrate data from multiple sources to yield the highest quality information resource.
Make data available to the scientific community for analysis and interpretation.
Disseminate information via a Web-based training program to enable high school students and their teachers in both the US and Thailand to better understand the dynamics of land use.
The design and collection of data and their integration into a wide-ranging, flexible, and spatially explicit GIS database is one of the major accomplishments of the Nang Rong Projects. The extensive Nang Rong data cover a range of spatial, social, and temporal scales of people, place, and environment. Dozens of studies involving the Nang Rong data have been published and are listed on this Web site. Topics include the impact of international commodity markets on land use in the district; the extension of road networks, settlement patterns and deforestation, and population change. Five data sets are available for further study and analysis. Current and future research efforts will expand geo-spatial data to project land use and land cover change into the future as far as 2020.

Q: Why is len() function counting every character in my list? I'm trying to set a variable to the amount of days that have been booked. I have the days booked stored in a dictionary with the key 'booked_days' and the value is a list of strings.
The problem is when I use the len() function to try and find the amount of things in my list I get a value greater than 100 when the correct output should be around 15-30.
I have tried to loop through the list with a variable that is being incremented with each iteration. This is where I noticed the list has every character in an index. For example every space, comma, and quotation.
with open('./' + self.listing + '/' + current_year + '.txt', 'r', newline='') as csvfile:
    reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
    for row in reader:
        self.annual_revenue += int(row['revenue'])
        if row['month'] == self.month_to_see:
           self.revenue = int(row['revenue'])
           self.occupancy_rate = row['occupancy']
           self.booked_num = len(row['booked_days'])
           print(row)
           print()
           print(row['booked_days'] + '\n')
           print(len(row['booked_days']))

This is a print of the dictionary row.
OrderedDict([('month', 'August'), ('year', '2019'), ('given_rate', '$225'), ('available_days', "[('27', '$225'), ('28', '$225'), ('29', '$225'), ('30', '$225'), ('31', '$225')]"), ('booked_days', "['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '12', '13', '14', '15', '16', '17', '18', '19', '20', '21', '22', '23', '24', '25', '26']"), ('revenue', '5850'), ('rating', '5'), ('occupancy', '83.9')])

The expected output is 26 however the actual output is 147. I don't think this code alone will reproduce the problem. However I have no idea where else the problem could be coming from.
The print statements are just for my own debug purposes.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

A: Because booked_days is a string representation of a list, and not a list. Calling len() on a string will give the number of characters in the string.
If you want to interpret booked_days as a list, you will need to alter how you are reading in the CSV file, so your dict actually contains a list instead of a string.

A: Look at the entry:
'booked_days', "['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '12',
                 '13', '14', '15', '16', '17', '18', '19', '20', '21', '22', '23',
                 '24', '25', '26']")

row['booked_days'] is a string, not a list.  Its len is the quantity of characters.  You have to convert the string to a list, perhaps by using a JSON reader or other package, rather than your CSV storage.  CSV does not recognize dict and list format for its cells.
For instance, see the text conversion here.

Texas Foster Care Faces Budget Shortfall As Problems Rise
Filed Under:Department of Family and Protective Services, foster children, Texas

Follow CBSDFW.COM: Facebook | Twitter
AUSTIN (AP) — More Texas foster children with mental or emotional problems have helped create a $20 million budget shortfall that could double by the end of 2017.
Department of Family and Protective Services Commissioner John Specia told a powerful state Senate committee that on Wednesday.
He also says the system is facing "too many child fatalities" even after state intervention. Senators vowed to repair the system, but some conservatives said more-efficient spending, not more funding, is the answer.
Senators vowed to do more to "repair this beleaguered system." But top Republicans also suggested that the solution is more-efficient state spending – rather than pumping in new money.
A federal judge recently ruled that Texas' foster care system is so broken that it often leaves kids in long-term care worse than when they entered.

simpleplanit - The Most Important Piece of Business Technology: Is Your Business Missing Out?
It is estimated that 90 percent of data breaches in the first half of 2014 could have been prevented if the right security measures were in place and staff understood how to properly protect classified company information. Business technology connects us to limitless tools and applications, heightened collaboration, incredibly accurate analytics, real time flow of information and the potential for small or mid-size businesses to compete with conglomerates. But with all this possibility, there are also a lot more open doors through which, hackers can walk right in and steal private information.
Amid all the excitement surrounding business technology, many businesses fail to recognize and maintain the most important tool they have or worse — some businesses don't even have it! Network firewalls.
Network Firewalls are software programs or hardware that help protect your internal network (computers) from external threats (hackers and viruses) that try to infiltrate your business data from the internet. A firewall's primary role is to control incoming and outgoing traffic on your network.
As with all tech topics, network firewalls can get a little confusing if you don't speak IT. But business owners must develop a basic understanding to properly protect their company data. We'll keep it simple for you. If you need extra help understanding the conversation, visit the vocabulary list at the bottom of this page.
It's been said that there are two types of businesses today. Those who have been hacked and those who don't know they've been hacked. Your network firewall is one of the most important safety nets between your business and the outside world. Yet, many businesses either don't have one, or believe they can purchase a consumer-grade network firewall (like Linksys) from Best Buy to do the job for less money. Unfortunately for these businesses — infiltration is a ticking time bomb.
We can't stress this enough. If you are a small, mid-size or large business, you need a business-class network firewall to protect your data — period.
Consumer-grade (or residential) network firewalls don't have the advanced capabilities that business-class firewalls provide. They also lack enterprise features, and many not be compatible with cloud hosted VoIP telephony service, which many businesses have adopted.
Embedded Firewalls (chokepoint firewalls): are embedded into a router or switch. These firewalls will not protect your business from application-level invasions, like viruses, worms and Trojan horse programs.
Enterprise Software-based Firewalls: negate the need for hardware investment, offer easy installation and are best suited for companies that require a lot of memory. These firewalls are a reasonable choice for businesses that already have an enterprise class operating system.
Enterprise Hardware-based Firewalls: are bundled, turn-key firewall packages (hardware device with software already built in). They are considered more secure and ideal for companies that require limited amounts of memory.
Specialty Firewalls: are designed to protect certain applications.
General rule of thumb — the more users you have, the higher "class" firewall you should invest. If you are a very small business with only a few users, you may not use all the features of an enterprise-class network firewall. Conversely, if you're a medium or large business with many employees, a small office/home office (SOHO) network firewall isn't going to cut it.
RAM directly influences how compatible a firewall will be with your network.
One way hackers can infiltrate your business data is via your computer's IP address. NAT decreases the number of IP addresses an organization needs, thus creating a more secure environment.
Logging capabilities are highly important. You want to select a firewall capable of logging and organizing numerous "events" so that you can understand what's happening on your network at any given time. Ask your firewall vendor how many events the firewall is capable of logging and if the firewall does not support Syslog (the most commonly used logging format), move on to one that does.
VPN allows for site-to-site encryption. Most (but not all) firewalls support this feature. Firewalls act as a filter for your network, allowing or blocking information from entering or leaving. But once information leaves your network, it is visible to any public source. VPN encrypts your information so that it is only readable by the intended audience.
The livelihood of your business depends on the quality of your firewall. Don't continue to neglect the subject because it's confusing and stressful. Instead, consider working with a CIO service provider who will evaluate your current network configuration, help you select the best firewall for your operation, manage installation and monitor performance to ensure your business is highly protected at all times.
RAM: An acronym for Random Access Memory. A type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly without touching preceding bytes (a full unit of memory size).
Processor: The component of a computer that responds to and digests the basic instructions that drive the computer.
Packet Filter: The process of passing or blocking packets (units of data) at a network interface based on the source of the packets and the destination details.
NAT: An acronym for Network Address Translation. NAT enables you to translate illegal or private IP addresses into legal public addresses. This helps to protect the internal network infrastructure from hackers.
VPN: An acronym for Virtual Private Network. VPNs are private networks that are constructed using public wires via encryption. They enable remote employees to safely access internal business data.
IP Address: An acronym for Internet Protocol; a numerical label assigned to computers, printers and other devices that communicate within a network. IP addresses help identify where messages came from and where they're going.

The penalty for non compliance can be 4% of annual global turnover, up to a maximum of €20 million.
PwC surveyed 200 CXOs of large US firms to assess the impact of the GDPR guidelines. The results revealed that a majority of the firms had taken up the GDPR ...with 76% of them prepared to spend in excess of $1 million on GDPR.
The UK's Information Commissioner's Office defines personal data as: "Information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier."
It says this includes "name, identification number, location data or online identifier".
Under some circumstances, this can extend to images, and details about your family.
Organisations have six lawful bases for processing personal data: Consent, contract, legal obligation, vital interests, public task or legitimate interest - definitions of which are available on the ICO's website.
But whatever the legal basis, you always have the right to object to the continued processing of your personal data if it's for the purposes of direct marketing.
If you willingly and explicitly consented to your personal data being used for ads in the past, then apps and others can continue to do so.
GDPR says consent means individuals must have real choice and control.
So, they need to have a "clear and concise" explanation as to what they are agreeing to, and pre-ticked boxes and other forms of default consent no longer apply.
GDPR introduces a right for individuals to demand their personal data be erased under some circumstances.
These include situations when its use has been based on their consent.
Organisations must respond within a month of receiving the request and should comply without charging a fee unless the request is deemed "manifestly unfounded or excessive".
GDPR introduces a duty to report certain types of data breaches within 72 hours of them being detected, even if all the details are not yet known.
If individuals are also put at significant risk, they must also be informed.
Failure to comply can entail a fine of up to 20m euros (£17.5m; $23.6m) or 4% of the organisation's annual global turnover - whichever is greater. But the penalty for delayed reporting alone tops out at 10m euros or 2% of global turnover.
GDPR gives an individual the right to challenge decisions made solely on the automated analysis of their personal data if they did not consent to it in advance.
Those affected can ask for access to the details on which the decision was based.
They also have the right to have a human double-check that a mistake was not made.
GDPR includes the right to obtain and reuse personal date from one service to another.
As such the data must be provided in a commonly used and machine-readable format.

Observations from the armchair: Georgia-Tennessee
I got exactly what I was worried about yesterday, as Butch Jones tossed out the kitchen sink. A lot of it worked, like going 3-3 on fourth down. And no question that injuries had an impact on Georgia's psyche and Jones did a good job jumping on and riding the second half momentum swing for all it was worth.
There's stuff to fret about, no doubt, and the injuries are a legitimate concern going forward, but let's not lose sight of the fact that a young team was looking at a pretty dire situation with less than two minutes to go in a road game and managed to find a way to pull out the win. Remember how we'd argue that a Boise State couldn't survive the grind of an SEC season? Yesterday is what we're talking about, peeps.
On to the bullet points:
I'd really, really like to quit typing that special teams were a mixed bag. But damn it, Dawgs, I need a little help here. The 56-yarder, a stadium record, was remarkable, and kudos to Morgan for drilling the winner as visions of the Michigan State fiasco flashed through my head. But the clanger to end the first drive of the second half was the psychological turning point of the game. And there simply is no excuse for a top ten team giving up two blocked punts for touchdowns in five games. Yes, somebody whiffed on the protection, but I'm also coming around to the idea that Barber is a little too deliberate with his punts. In any event, you can bet that every coach facing Georgia for the rest of the season will be playing for the block when the Dawgs are punting from inside their 20.
Days like yesterday make me sympathetic to why Mark Richt prefers to play it safe on punt returns. Why has it become so hard for Georgia to find a competent returner who can be an occasional weapon, like Damian Gary or Thomas Flowers?
There is no truth to the rumor that in honor of yesterday's results, they're going to start referring to the Neyland Stadium turf as "the 12th man".
Anybody got an explanation for Butch Jones' clock management at the end of the first half?
The weirdest thing about yesterday is that Murray completed passes to eight different receivers, but none to a tight end. This, against a Jancek-Martinez defense.
How 'bout Ray Drew coming on?
Woot, with six catches, two for touchdowns, including the one they had to have. Every week, it really does feel like somebody else steps up in the receiving corps.
So this week they decided to call pass interference. Hmm.
I think we're overreacting to Justin Worley's day a little bit. He made one nice throw, on the TD to North, and didn't self-destruct. But he was 17-31 and averaged less than seven yards per pass attempt. Stuff of legends that ain't.
All the way around, it's hard to get a handle on the defense's game. On the one hand, there's the second half meltdown. But the first half might have been their most consistent effort of the season, as they held the Vols to three points and less than 120 yards. (In fact, I kind of wonder if that lulled Richt and Bobo into a false sense of security with some of the second-half playcalling/strategy.) They were fairly stout up the middle – Herrera and Wilson both played well – but they got embarrassed on the outside as the OLBs and safeties continually lost contain. And they got suckered on misdirection so much I thought Cornelius Washington had returned. I'm not surprised that UT was able to throw with some success. Georgia plays zone and a quarterback with time is going to find holes. Tennessee's offensive line is above-average and won its share of pass protection fights. But five games in, some of these kids should be showing more discipline than they are.
The offensive line continues to lower my anxiety. Another solid run blocking day. Pass protection was a little shaky here and there, and Beard was awful on that sack he allowed, but overall serviceable.
Let's hope JJ Green can get his pass blocking skills up quickly, because it looks like they're gonna need him in the backfield for the rest of the season. Great game.
Bobo was a little too conservative for my taste on occasion, but going back to Douglas on that last drive in regulation with that swing pass was a ballsy call, especially after Douglas had dropped a pass on the previous play. And the man deserves a little credit for helping to make Aaron Murray the cool customer he was on that drive.
There's really not much left to say about Aaron Murray, other than that his clutch play is at such a level now that the Hutson Mason jokes aren't funny anymore.
And Chris Conley has gone from being the guy who shouldn't have caught the pass in the SECCG to Georgia's number one guy at the position. It's a good thing he looks up to the task.
Do I have the feeling that the game would have been much different if the offense had managed to put the ball in the end zone on that first drive of the second half? Absolutely. But survive and advance, baby. It sure wasn't pretty. It wasn't smooth, although, seeing as this was the seventh straight game Georgia's played in which it's faced not having a lead in the second half, that's something I'm getting used to. There are plenty of Richt-coached teams we could point to that wouldn't have the resiliency to mount that tying drive. It says something about the day that Aaron Murray's going to be remembered more for what he pulled off to save the game than that he set the new conference career yardage record.
In the end, metaphorically speaking, Aaron Murray did what Casey Clausen bragged about hoping to do. He won the Georgia-Tennessee game with one arm tied behind his back.
October 6, 2013 · 12:47 PM
We just stepped on his face with a hobnail boot.
Nit pick and grumble all you like about defensive shortcomings, special teams brain farts, Bobo's playcalling… whatever. This season is rapidly shaping up as my favorite under Richt, if for no reason other than this one.

Commit to the run
Lost in all of yesterday's craziness was the fact that Georgia ran for 238 yards, its highest output both in terms of total yardage and yards per carry of the season, without Gurley and mostly without Marshall. And while Danielson (and I'm sure large parts of Dawgnation) were openly asking why Bobo wasn't having Murray air it out, Georgia's offensive coordinator had his reasons.
When asked if he ever had experienced such a stretch of injuries during a game, Richt said, "Not like that."
Green rushed 17 times for 129 yards, with a long of 32. Douglas had just 25 yards on 10 rushing attempts but provided the 32-yard reception on the late tying drive.
"We stayed committed to the run, and those guys did a nice job of pressing the zone tracks and finding the cutback," Bobo said. "We missed a couple, which is natural, and we missed a couple of checks at the line when they started bringing a little pressure, but I felt like that's what we had to do.
"I felt like if we started slinging it, they were going to play more of a two-shell and play zone match underneath and challenge our X [receiver] to make plays."
It wasn't a perfect day, by any means – I bet Bobo would have liked to have that third-and-one back when the Vols loaded the box with ten – but given the conditions and what he had to work with on the fly, Mike Bobo did okay.

Few celebrities in science have done more for the promotion of science, reason, rationality, and critical thinking than Carl Sagan, whom we remember today upon the occasion of his birthday: November 9, 1934. Carl would have been 77 years old today. Happy Birthday Carl!
For nearly 50 years, the SETI (Search for Alien Intelligence) project has searched for evidence of alien civilizations and has occasionally sent messages into space with the intention of communicating with intelligent sentient extraterrestrial beings. How likely are we to come into contact with an extraterrestrial civilization? If they do exist, their aspirations could differ markedly from our own. Could visitors from extraterrestrial civilizations pose a threat to Earth? What would motivate aliens to visit the Earth? In this week's eSkeptic, George Michael discusses these fascinating questions.
What is the right approach to dealing with people who believe in the paranormal or some particular idea we could call pseudoscience? Naturally no one considers their beliefs to be pseudoscience or faith-based nonsense, so saying something along those lines to a believer's face is likely to close off conversation. In this remarkable article, our own Daniel Loxton tackles the matter head on. Daniel shows that a controversy that erupted at last year's The Amazing Meeting conference was just the latest in a very long history of skeptical debates about the "tone" of our criticism and educational outreach. (Please note: this is a long article, running over 4500 words.)
In this week's eSkeptic, we return to a controversy that raged throughout the 1990s in the anthropology world over whether or not Margaret Mead was hoaxed by her Samoan hosts during her research there while earning her Ph.D. under Franz Boaz. The following is an excerpt from The Trashing of Margaret Mead: Anatomy of an Anthropological Controversy by Paul Shankman. Used by permission of the University of Wisconsin Press.

Carl Sagan was a scholar and a visionary. He changed the world. His work still does. As Bill Nye thinks back on the time he got to spend in Sagan's classes, he realizes what made Sagan the best science communicator of his day.
Sagan & Skepticism
David Morrison reviews two books: Carl Sagan: A Life by Keay Davidson (1999, John Wiley and Sons) and Carl Sagan: A Life in the Cosmos by William Poundstone (1999, Henry Holt)
The Measure of a Life
Michael Shermer ponders the question of what the measure of a life is once it has gone. And if that life was an epochal-shaping life, how is a contemporary biographer to put that life in perspective before the epoch is over?
Leaving a Demon-Haunted World
Solen discovered The Demon-Haunted World on the library shelf one day. He had heard of Sagan, of course, but knew little of him. At a time when Solen's friends had left him, where he could not confide in his own family, the book's dedication invited him toward the candle…
Popular & Pilloried
Gregory Benford recounts how Carl Sagan, the best known astronomer in the world, was turned down by the National Academy of Sciences and laments that no other widely recognized scientist has replaced him in popular discourse.
The Sagan File
Joel Achenbach moved offices, and began to purge files, stuff he didn't need and hadn't looked at in years. Digging deep, he came across a fat file marked "Sagan." The astronomer died in December 1996. Save? Throw away? From the documents, a voice emerged…
Carl Sagan & the Search for E.T.
When Tom McDonough was a grad student at Cornell in the late 1960s, he ploughed through dry scientific journals. Occasionally, he found papers bordering on science fiction, hidden within them like naughty pictures. These gems were often by an obscure Harvard scientist named Carl Sagan. They spoke about the possibility of life on other worlds, a subject almost taboo in science at that time…
Carl Sagan & Edward Teller
Carl Sagan and Edward Teller were bitter opponents in national security debates about issues such as "Star Wars" and nuclear test bans, but ironically they agreed on defending the Earth against asteroids — an agreement that neither, however, was ready to admit in public.
Carl Sagan's Vision
Carl Sagan saw a vision of human space-explorers venturing out into the universe, following the great tradition of the sailors who ventured out onto the oceans and began to explore the continents of this planet 500 years earlier. But Carl was not only a romantic visionary; he was also a professional scientist.
In Memory of Carl Sagan 1934–1996:
In Sagan's Own Words
Culled from the expansive work of Carl Sagan, we present some of his own words on the cosmos, ETs, childhood, genes, brains, pseudoscience, science literacy, nonsense, uncertainty, biology, history and God.


Rusty and I were invited to Cherie Fantasy by Ma Cherie and we were totally captivated by the enchanting and whimsical theme of the party that was reminiscent of the Baroque era.
Le moulin rouge inspired product packaging, customized tarot cards and 'Mystery Magic Machine' certainly boosted the magical factor further.
We couldn't wait to try the products! But do their contents live up to their appearance?
We tried the Ma Cherie End Cure Milk Leave-On Treatment and here's our verdict!
Description: Ma Cherie End Cure Milk is a leave-in treatment essence focusing on split ends. It provides intensive repair and moisture to dry ends.
How to use: Apply appropriate amount onto towel-dried or dried hair focusing on damaged ends.
Comes packaged in a champagne pink squeeze tube, the product is dispensed easily and sanitarily. A gel-cream formula, the name is rather inappropriate in my opinion as it says 'milk'.
However, I do agree with their claims of the fruity fragrance. This stuff smells absolutely AMAZING! It does include fragrance within the ingredients list though, so it should be chemicals. Ma Cherie meant "my sweetheart" in French and as the name goes, this line of hair care nourishes your hair in the most luxurious sweet rewarding way while indulging your senses in the romantic fragrance that lingers on your soft silky hair.
Despite the semi-thick formula, the product spreads easily and my hair absorbed it instantly. I love how the scent just floats around and lingers in my hair which makes application a joy! As seen in my before/after picture below, there is a difference! I wasn't expecting this to work but it did. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised and would apply this whenever I want to!
I agree with Rusty that the alluring sweet fragrance is its best selling point. Its lightweight and non-greasy consistency leaves a smooth and silky touch that also controls flyaways at the same time. I like that it does not leave the hair feeling sticky and gooey like most hair serums.
Here are my photos after a one-time application.
My purple highlights were accentuated by the treatment, looking glossier than ever. But I thought it didn't improve my straw-textured hair at all. I've tried hair serums from Rene Futerer, Murie M Home Milk and even Dove and they not only tame frizz but hydrate and restore the hair's natural shine. On the contrary, the End Cure Milk loses its efficacy once you wash it away, leaving it looking as wavy as before.
If you're looking for a temporary solution to your poofy hair or if your hair reeks of smoke from your visit to the food court during lunch, this product might do the trick. If you prefer a long term solution, I suggest using Dove products that are along the same priceline.
Another shallow reason why I love this product – its new classy looking packaging. Kudos to Shiseido Ma Cherie for the tasteful facelift!
Finally, 3.5 Honeyz stars for its gorgeous looks and scent!
Thanks Ma Cherie Singapore for the invitation!
Have you tried the Ma Cherie End Cure Milk or any other Ma Sherie products lately? Let us know by sharing your review at Honeyz Cube!

Iowa manager Marty Pevey gave an estimate on when the hard-hitting infielder could return to action after landing on the disabled list with a non-displaced fracture in his left ring finger.
"Honestly, just guessing and it's just a guess, I would say probably…. I'm going to say two and a half, three weeks," Pevey said of Baez's possible return.
Baez hasn't played in a game since suffering the injury sliding into second base during Iowa's June 7 contest. The injury couldn't have come at a worse time for Baez, who was hitting .314 with seven doubles, eight homers and was rumored to be close to being called back up to Chicago.
After landing on the disabled list, Baez said he was told he could be out anywhere from four to eight weeks. Baez was placed on the disabled list on June 8. He will have been on it exactly six weeks come July 20.
Baez, a 22-year-old first-round pick by the Cubs in 2011, has rapidly risen through the minor leagues and made his major-league debut in 2014. The young slugger struggled in the promotion hitting just .169 with 95 strikeouts in 52 games. Those struggles continued into Spring Training, leading the Cubs to send Baez back to the minors.
It's been a tough season for Baez, who has been limited to just 37 games and missed the start of the season following the death of his sister, Noely. Baez said last month he hoped to return from his injury quickly.
"It depends how fast it heels," Baez said the day after suffering his injury. "Hopefully it goes fast, and I come back right away."

Fortnite Season 10 will launch on August 1
Epic Games is hinting at the return of a familiar location.
By Kurt Lozano July 29, 2019 9:49 am
Season 10 of Fortnite: Battle Royale will arrive on August 1, Epic Games revealed during the Solo Finals of the Fortnite World Cup Finals.
Epic also released a teaser image that depicts Dusty Depot as part of the reveal, showing a giant "X" behind the location's three hangars.
The X is likely to be the logo for the new season, due to it being the Roman numeral for the number 10. Epic using "Think Back." as the caption for the teaser strongly suggests that the once-beloved location may be making a return in some form.
Think Back. 8.1.2019 pic.twitter.com/StlbA42Cwj
— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) July 28, 2019
Dusty Depot was one of the original locations on the Fortnite island and one of the first casualties of the game's seasonal map changes.
Credit: Epic Games
It was destroyed when a meteor slammed into it as part of the season-ending event, and was later renamed to Dusty Divot because of the crater created by the meteor's impact — with research labs replacing its once-iconic hangars.
Epic has been building up the arrival of Season 10 since mid-July, most notably with the appearance of a giant orb called the Singularity in Loot Lake and a titanic clash between a gigantic pink mech and a massive monster.
While Epic has not revealed much about Season 10 outside of the teaser, the events and promotions surrounding it suggest that it will bring big changes to the game. We can only wait for August to come to see just how big those changes are.

MOVIE REVIEW: Split is a mammoth acting task for McAvoy
by Seanna Cronin
25th Jan 2017 6:00 PM | Updated: 7:00 PM
JAMES McAvoy is a force to be reckoned with in Split.
The X-Men favourite takes on the complex and disjointed role of Kevin, a man with at least 23 different personalities, in the latest psychological thriller from M Night Shyamalan.
Shifting back and forth between very distinct personalities, ranging from a woman to a budding fashion designer to an eight-year-old boy, McAvoy portrays Kevin's dissociative identity disorder convincingly.
It's a mammoth task I can't imagine many other actors being capable of achieving.
Shyamalan doesn't mess about, getting straight into the action within the first few minutes of the film.
Dennis, one of Kevin's more devious personalities which his mild-mannered alter-ego Barry has tried to keep in check, rises to the surface and compels him to abduct three teenage girls.
Anya Taylor-Joy, Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula in a scene from the movie Split. Contributed
Claire (Haley Lu Richardson) and Marcia (Jessica Sula) are popular girls who extend a birthday party invite, out of pity, to their loner classmate Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy).
But it is Casey who first clues on to their kidnapping, and the strange behaviour of their kidnapper, and manages to keep a calm head throughout Kevin's disturbing shifts.
After they are drugged, the three girls wake up in a locked room which, they learn, is part of a series of claustrophic rooms and hallways Dennis has secured to prevent their escape.
While the drama unfolds, Kevin's other personalities manage to sound the alarm with his psychologist Dr Fletcher (Betty Buckley), who tries to tease out what's going on in several impromptu therapy sessions.

But she can't stop a final personality - referred to as "The Beast" - from materialising.
As the film reaches its menacing climax, I found myself in awe of McAvoy and the physical intensity he brings to the role.
While there's not that much gore, or even violence, in Split, it still had me on the edge of my seat.
Among the life-or-death drama, Shyamalan finds a few brief moments to slyly sneak in some comedy. One scene involving eight-year-old alter-ego Hedwig delivers unexpected laughs before plunging you straight back into nail-biting tension.
This is a return to form for Shyamalan. I'm hesitant to say Split is better than 2015's The Visit, but it deserves a spot right alongside both The Visit and his iconic Sixth Sense. The writer/director seems to have found his groove again.
Stars: James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, Betty Buckley, Haley Lu Richardson, Jessica Sula.
Director: M Night Shyamalan
Verdict: 4/5 stars
Buckley's chance in psychological thriller

Entropy Labs is the result of founder Mark Zaidi's curiosity and obsession with amazing materials and the chemistry behind them.
With the guidance of Dr. Bryan Koivisto, Dr. Umberto Berardi, and the Science Discovery Zone, Entropy Labs came to be.
Our mission is simple: do things differently.
Chaos is beautiful, if you know where to look, and how to harness it.
Mark sees the world through a scientific lens, "and it's beautiful," he says.
"From the food you eat, to the music you enjoy, it all is thanks to the often-invisible world of chemistry."
Born and raised in Toronto to two cancer researchers, Mark has always been encouraged to learn how things work, at even the smallest level. His early introduction to science has allowed him to immerse himself into the scientific community with haste.
A student researcher at the STTARR Imaging Facility, Mark works with programs such as MATLAB to analyze hypoxic cancer cells. He is a Terry Fox Research Institute Poster Presentation Winner, Sheldon and Tracy Levy Innovator Award Winner, Taekwondo Black Belt, and holds an RA Grant for Entropy Lab's work on Aerogel with Ryerson University.
"Aerogel is an amazing substance," he says, "and our making it accessible can change the face of science in numerous fields."
"I'm excited to see what we can do here at Entropy Labs. As far as we know, we've not found the limit of the universe. We choose to consider our work to be the same: limitless."
Dr. Berardi is an Associate Professor at Ryerson University, in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). His main research interests are related to the study of new innovative materials for energy saving applications. He directs the BeTOP Ryerson lab for new building system and technology development and testing.
Alexandria Anthony is a recent Ryerson engineering graduate whose interest in materials and their applications drew her to Entropy Labs. Currently, she works with Mark to optimize the production of Aerogel and hopes that one day it will make a return to the aerospace industry in a wider, more economic scale. Alexandria holds a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from Ryerson University.

Foreigners in Venice
Foreigners in Venice private guided tour is about how in the past Venice offered the possibility to many foreign communities to set up in Venice in order to ensure profitable business with different area of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Foreigners gradually integrated with the Venetian society and left their testimony in the City.

How many were the Foreigners in Venice in the past?
Venice was the centre of international trading and Foreigners in Venice were many since the earliest days. The Dalmatians were among the first to establish important trading relations with Venice. Soon the entire Eastern coastal region of the Adriatic sea fell under the control of the Republic of Venice. The Dalmatians living in Venice, known as "Schiavoni" (from Slavs), founded their headquarter in the district of Castello in 1451.
The Scuola dei Dalmati is one of the five fraternities survived to Napoleon's abolitions, and it still preserves the lovely historical building decorated with one of the most interesting cycles of story-telling paintings by Carpaccio. The paintings concentrate on episodes from the lives of their three patron Saints, and are defined as "orientalist" because of the peculiar distinctly middle-eastern looking landscapes.
Another large community of foreigners in Venice was that of the Greeks. When Venice gained control over the islands of Corfu and Crete, following the fourth Crusade (1204), many Greek sailors and traders started to migrate to Venice.
With the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1453 their number increased rapidly. At the end of the 15th C. they obtained the permission to build an Orthodox church, the oldest one in the West, and a new seat for their Scuola, which today contains the most precious collection of Icons in Western Europe.
THE PRICE OF FOREIGNERS IN VENICE TOUR INCLUDES:
the service of a certified tour guide
admissions to the Scuola Dalmata
admission to the Museum of Icons

Report | TexPIRG Education Fund
Citizens' ability to understand how their tax dollars are spent is fundamental to democracy. Budget and spending transparency holds government officials accountable for making smart decisions, checks corruption, and provides citizens an opportunity to affect how government dollars are spent.
State and local governments spend billions of dollars every year on economic development programs in the form of forgone tax revenue and direct cash grant payments to corporations in an effort to stoke investment and job creation in a particular city, state or industry.
A review of economic development subsidy reporting in all 50 states finds that a majority of states fail to meet minimum standards of online transparency, leaving residents, watchdogs and public officials in the dark about key public expenditures. States should shine light on economic development subsidies by requiring the online publication of key transparency reports and inclusion of economic development spending in the state's online checkbook portal to meet the expectations of citizens seeking information in the 21st century.
Economic development subsidies – be they tax exemptions, credits, or direct cash grant payments – are a form of public spending, but are rarely held to the same transparency standards as other government expenditures.

Is Your Marketing Strategy A Long Shot?
In the world of online marketing, aiming to position your firm as the "best DUI/divorce/criminal lawyers in (insert name of city here)" is like showing up at a movie audition with a hundred other actors. You may indeed be the most talented, but against such fierce competition, you're still a long shot at best.
If you're scratching your head at that conclusion, you're not alone. Many law firms believe that achieving top search engine rankings for so-called head-term phrases (e.g., "Miami personal injury attorney") is a "silver bullet"—a magical tactic that will guarantee a steady flow of website traffic and a high conversion rate. In reality, that is an example of a highly competitive search that does not necessarily indicate an intent to purchase.
The numbers prove it. After sampling 3.7 million search visits and 2.66 million search phrases, we discovered that 62 percent of searches are non-branded; that is, the users don't know who you are, they're simply people with legal needs looking for help. Roughly 67 percent of non-branded search traffic (e.g., California DUI laws) can be considered preliminary information gathering with no clear intent to find and hire an attorney.
The numbers tell the story: for attorneys looking to directly target potential clients, a focus on long-tail searches is the smarter play. Not only are long-tail searches growing in popularity, they have a far higher likelihood of conversion.
Still fuzzy on this? Think of targeting vanity searches as a direct marketing campaign that floods the market with postcards emblazoned with your firm's tag line. Now think of long-tail searches as a pre-qualified mailing list of prospects who have indicated a specific and immediate need for your services. The former, which requires a significant investment of time and money, may result in a trickle of inquiries. The latter, which is more targeted and typically less expensive, leads to ringing phones and an influx of clients.
Let's revisit the scenario at the start of this article. If the production company staging the audition sends out a call for "male Caucasians, 6'2", 225 lbs., with wavy blond hair, blue eyes and previous experience portraying a brilliant attorney," their talent pool will be much more defined. Instead of wading through a sea of candidates who don't really fit the bill, they'll find their leading man far more efficiently and frugally.
The same applies to your firm: When it comes to finding your next case, a long-tail is better than a long shot.
