Kristallnacht in slow motion: Palestinians as the new Jews
Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: Palestine, racism — Jane Stillwater @ 11:16 am
Every time I write something unflattering about Israeli neo-cons, I always get a burst of anonymous phone calls for a few days. But this never happens when I write about American neo-cons. What's with that?
Perhaps it's because almost every progressive on the internet today writes unflattering things about American neo-cons and it would take forever to bully us all.
A FaceBook friend of mine living in Israel-Palestine just sent me a photo of a group of ordinary Jewish-Israeli citizens — beating up on a terrified Arab-Israeli woman in the street http://rabbibrant.com/2013/03/04/jewish-violence-on-purim-time-for-a-religious-reckoning/. And this photo reminded me of how, back in the 1930s, "Good Germans" used to beat up ordinary Jews on the streets too.
And the next thing you knew, along came Germany's infamous Kristallnacht.
But the difference between "Good Germans" back then and "Good Israelis" now is this: Back in Nazi Germany, racism based on religious hatred all culminated in one horrible Kristallnacht orgy of killing, looting, oppression and genocide — whereas the new Zionist oppression and genocide in Israel-Palestine seems to be happening now in slo-mo. One day at a time, one house at a time, one street at a time, one Palestinian at a time http://www.roitov.com/articles/eastjerusalem.htm.
But the results are the same.
And now, in 2013, the average individual "Good Israeli", just like the average individual "Good German" back in the 1930s (and the average individual "Good American" today) needs to finally wake up and finally realize that what neo-cons and pseudo-religious crazies can do (and have done) unto others, they can also do unto us as well.
PS: According to journalist Roi Tov, formerly a captain in the IDF, "On March 1, 2013, the Israeli Ministry of Transport inaugurated two lines of buses to be used exclusively by Palestinians and created the opportunity for a Palestinian Rosa Parks to spark the struggle for Human Rights in the Holy Land." http://www.roitov.com/articles/bus.htm How come when "neo-cons" in Alabama segregated the buses, we all thought this action was abominable — but when Israeli neo-cons do the exact same thing, we give them a pass?
Tov calls this slow-motion attack on Palestinians "A war of the turtles" — except that the Israeli neo-cons' turtle is a million times bigger, stronger, better armed and more powerful than the Palestinian turtle. Duh.
PPS: And does all this new slow-motion holocaust in Palestine mean that, 30 or 40 years from now, the UN will also allow Palestinians to establish a new homeland in Germany — as a salve for our guilt because the world knowingly stood by, did nothing and watched silently as six million Palestinians were sent off to concentration camps and/or gassed?
PPPS: And it appears that you and I are the ones also paying for this new "Kristallnacht in slow motion" racket as well. According to a recent Congressional report, America even bought Israeli neo-cons a whole shite-load of F-35s (those stealth bombers that don't even work) in order to reign down even more slo-mo hell onto Palestinians!
And according to Joe Biden at a recent AIPAC conference, President Obama "has directed close coordination, strategically and operationally, between our government and our Israeli partners, including our political, military and intelligence leadership." So apparently we are also guiding Israeli neo-con "strategic and operational" policies behind the slo-mo massacre of all those women and children in Palestine too. Good to know. http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/03/08/vice-president-biden-aipac-policy-conference-2013
Here's a really good instruction manual to use if you're an Israeli neo-con trying to steal homes from Palestinians in East Jerusalem. It's even better than the manual used by American neo-cons and banksters to steal working-class Americans' homes! http://www.roitov.com/articles/eastjerusalem.htm

Modern Merch: Beyond the Tour T-Shirt – CMJ Panel
Ale Delgado wrote this great recap of our CMJ panel on merchandise last week. Thanks Ale! Here is most of it. Visit her site for more:
Considering that I'm always looking for the next big thing, I knew I had to go to CMJ's "Modern Merch: Beyond the Tour T-Shirt" panel. See, merch is a $2.2 billion business and one of the biggest ways an artist can make money. But while most merch is sold at shows, most people at shows don't buy merch. Tricky, huh?
The basic premise of the panel was that opportunity comes when you marry a point of passion (e.g., a song stream or live show) with a call to action (e.g., a merch sale)– and yes, they had some tips to help you take advantage of any opportunities that come your way.
Moderator: Dave Kusek, co-founder of MerchLuv and co-author of The Future of Music.
Panelists: Zach Bair, founder of RockHouse Live Media Productions and the original CEO of DiscLive Network, which records, masters, and burns concert CDs to be made available to fans right after the show; Mary Sparr of screen-printed gig poster pros Print Mafia and culture blog Young Mary's Record; and Alexandra Starlight, funky and spunky indie starlette whose Kickstarter campaign resulted in 205% funding and a rainbow glitter 7″ EP.
1.Think of merch as an extension of your brand
As always, the first thing to do is consider your brand as an artist. Once you develop a consistent aesthetic, you can open the door to more innovative merch because fans will recognize it as one of your pieces. For example, Starlight created a one-of-a-kind rainbow glitter vinyl record for her self-titled EP. A record like that had never been pressed before and each one was hand-glittered, so each fan received a unique copy. If you've ever peeked at Starlight's website (or rainbow-dyed hair), you know that a rainbow glitter album fits perfectly with her brand– and it's damn memorable.
Furthermore, if you think of merch as your brand being integrated into someone's lifestyle, it opens up even more creative possibilities. For instance, The Hold Steady created branded foam fingers. Y'know, the ones you wave around like crazy when you're cheering on your favorite team. What do foam fingers have to do with music? Not much, but they're fun, different, and priced for the college-aged fan. And judging by the fact that they're sold out, they're a big hit with fans.
2. Cater to your spectrum of fans
Take another look at The Hold Steady's foam finger. It's $10 reduced to $5. Easy sale for a teenager or college student who might have a lot of spending money but is willing to pay for something cool to show off to their friends. Making sure that you have different tiers of merch for different fans is key to building sales. You should have something at your merch table for the fan who just wants to snatch a free download card and for the fan who wants to buy everything. That also means bundling items together (CD, t-shirt, button combo) for a quick sale.
3. Be show-specific
If possible, create show-specific merch. It can be as simple as individual gig posters for each city in which you tour or something a little more involved. Sparr brought up the tickets that Mumford & Sons created for their Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour. Each ticket was a commemorative passport that contained a download code for a compilation of songs recorded at each Stopover. Then it got better. Fans could get their passports stamped at the merch tables at each Stopover, personalizing their passports to their experience. Then it got even better. People were wandering around each Stopover with unique stamps, essentially turning the passports into a Pokemon game. (Gotta stamp 'em all!) Talk about fan engagement.
Next, update your Facebook and Twitter on the day of the show and let your fans know what merch you're going to be offering, especially if you have something that will only be available at that show. The more people can prepare (or at least consider the possibility of picking up your record), the more likely they're going to buy something.
4. Work your merch like a pop-up shop
Think about every grumpy salesperson you've had to deal with. They don't greet you, they don't look you in the eye, they don't care if their store is a mess, they don't want to help you find anything, or (even worse) they're way too pushy… Okay, now be exactly the opposite.
Your merch table is your pop-up shop. Have your items propped up nicely so that fans who are moving past your table can see what you have to offer. Greet them as they walk up to your table; don't badger them, but put on a friendly face like you would if they were customers coming into your brick-and-mortar store. Also make sure that you're being as meticulous as you would be if you were running a store: keep track of your inventory and double-check any email addresses written down on your mailing list. Remember that the experience doesn't end when your show does; fans will remember what you were like behind the table.
5. Extend the experience
Well, actually, the experience doesn't have to stop when your fans walk out of your venue either. There are a lot of ways you can extend your show experience, from the simple to the elaborate. Here are a few ideas from the Panelists:
Make sure there's someone taking pictures of your show, including grabbing a few shots of the crowd. Then post it on Facebook and encourage your fans to tag themselves.
Have your fans post pictures of your show to Instagram with a hashtag of your choosing, and then sending them aPostagram thanking them for coming to the show or giving them a discount for your store.
Use DiscLive to record, mix, and master a live recording of your show. By the time you're ready to sell some merch, they'll have CDs ready to go. DiscLive also allows for preorders, meaning that a) you can bundle tickets and CDs and b) you'll have an estimate of what you'll sell at your show.
Use MerchLuv to bundle streaming songs with merch items to cater to those new fans who hadn't heard of you before your show, but want to check you out afterwards. Remember, opportunity lies where passion meets action.

Reducing IT costs and responsibilities, while maintaining a quality computer system to support a business, makes up for an attractive management goal. While some managers seem reluctant to embrace the SaaS model, others have already adopted it.
Based on the August 2016 survey of Computer Economics, about 60% of their respondents reported having already integrated SaaS to their businesses. It further reports that investments remain high, and that adoption rates will continue to grow in the foreseeable future. The experts at SourceDay explain that for many businesses in manufacturing and distribution, they have used SaaS to automate the purchase order management processes.
But what exactly is SaaS? SaaS or Software as a Service model is a way of delivery using software. Clients can access date from any device with a browser and Internet connection. In this setup, a company subscribes to a web-based application of a third-party vendor who will host and maintain the server, database and code.
The subscribing company thereby effectively outsources a significant number of IT responsibilities like troubleshooting to the vendor. It also eliminates expensive upfront costs as it discards the need for an on-premise hardware installation and software licensing fees. According to a Computer World report in 2014, companies who have used the SaaS model enjoyed a reduction of IT costs of more than 15%.
So what's keeping managers on the fence? The answer is the question of data security. There is a perception that because of its accessibility in the 'clouds', and the fact that data is 'housed' somewhere outside the company, the SaaS model is susceptible to breach. But as Derek Singleton puts it, "data security is independent of whether the server is sitting right next to you or in a different city." He further asserts that SaaS vendors invest more in security and that they usually undergo strict SAS70 Type II audits.
A practical solution for reluctant managers is a low-risk trial. They should transfer at least one business activity to SaaS. For instance, they could transfer a certain task and automate its process. If it improves a company's processes and does little to affect it, then the manager can evaluate and come up with a fair judgment regarding SaaS use.


Many producers in Emilia-Romagna are still waiting to harvest their Sangiovese but are confident of a good crop in both size and quality.
Owing to the wide difference in micro climates in the region, some producers have already started, some have nearly finished but most are waiting for another week or so before beginning.
Meanwhile, further towards Rimini, Mauro Giardini of Villa Venti had already finished his harvest save for some small parcels which are being kept longer as part of an experiment to age wines in clay pots.
Maulro Sirri of Celli in Bertinoro was also waiting for the red harvest to begin and said while it was 10-15 days later than last year, it was actually a case of returning to normal.
In fact, he added, last year was something of an anomaly.


The long term impact of the Fukushima crisis is unclear, but here are some early indicators.
It's still far from clear what the outcome of the nuclear crisis in Japan will be, in part because there is still the potential for a large release of radiation from the plant, so experts are unable to say will impact it will have on Japan.
But here's what we know so far. According to data gathered by the U.S. during a fly over of the area, the worst contamination so far is limited to a 30-kilometer radius around the plant. The most intense radiation is limited to the plant itself. In Tokyo (220 kilometers from the plant) the average radiation dose rate on Wednesday and Thursday was 474 microsieverts per year (if you're exposed to that level for a year, you get a dose of 474 microsieverts). In comparison, the average dose for a year from natural sources is about 2,400 microsieverts. If you live in Guarapari, Brazil, you'll be exposed to about 10,000 microsieverts from natural sources. So, if you're in Tokyo, the added radiation is not large.
The situation is different close to the Fukushima power plant. On Friday, one monitoring station 30 kilometers from the plant reported dose rates of 140 microsieverts per hour. A year of exposure at that rate would exceed the maximum yearly dose for emergency workers by at least five times (more in some countries). But the measurements taken close to the plant vary widely. A station very close to the one above measured levels of 40 microsieverts per hour–100 less than its neighbor. Stations further than 40 kilometers from the plant reported doses of under 10 microsieverts per hour. Five hours of exposure to that is roughly equivalent to a chest x-ray. A year's exposure at that level would be more than workers at most nuclear power plants are typically allowed to receive. Inside the power plant, radiation levels as high as 400,000 microsieverts per hour have been reported—workers can only be exposed to such levels for a few minutes at a time. I'm getting these numbers here. For more on health effects of radiation, check here.The New York Times also has a good graphic here.
Before experts can make long-term predictions, several variables need to be accounted for. The first is whether cooling efforts will fail resulting in a massive release of radiation from spent fuel in either the reactors themselves or the cooling pools. (As soon as Sunday, workers may have restored power to the plant and restarted water pumps, which will make cooling easier.) Another is what radioactive materials are emitted, and how the weather affects the distribution of those materials. Wind direction and speed affect how far the materials are spread, and whether they head out to sea (as is largely happening now) or inland toward populated areas. Rain washes radioactive particles out of the atmosphere, which can limit the distribution, but it can also result in relatively heavy concentrations of particles where the rain falls and the water accumulates.

Today I decided to finally move the second bottle cooler into its final resting place behind the bar. The cooler came with the property, but we had never used it or plugged it in. So I plugged in the power cord, and was pleasantly surprised that not only it worked, but also that it wasn't a power monger like older fridges can be.
Before moving it into place, I figured it would be good to scrub it down a little. To me the cooler always looked like it had a greenish metallic color. That was until I scrubbed off the grime, which revealed a more grayish color (note to self: don't clean fridges just once a decade).
After it looked pretty(er) again, it was time to settle into its space.
Think you'll be open by April 25th? Would love to dine at Gunk Haus for my birthday!
Holy smokes that title makes up for the one without. You have outwitted yourself, sir. Nice to see the progress. That's some clunky stuff out of the way it seems like.

Tokyo Garden Sakura Tour
Map around Koishikawa Korakuen
The Koishikawa Korakuen was first laid out in 1629 by Tokugawa Yorifusa, but its construction was completed by his successor Mitsukuni, an enlightened lord of the Tokugawa family of Mito, with the assistance of Zhu Shun Shui, a refugee scholar from the Ming Dynasty of China, who came under the lord's protection.
Originally, the area of the garden was 63 acres, but it was reduced to one-fourth owing to a city-planning of Tokyo, and the remaining area was placed under the control of the former Army Arsenal after the Meiji Restoration.
It was designated by the Cultural Property Protection Committee as an important special place of scenic and historic interest, and was turned over to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for management in 1936. Korakuen is the oldest of all the gardens in Tokyo and it is a typical stroll-graden built in early days of the Tokugawa Era.
In the central part of Korakuen, there is a placid lakelet with winding walks running around, stone lanterns, trees and arched bridges arranged skillfully in harmony with their surroundings. Miniature views imitating noted Japanese and Chinese scenic spots such as Xihu and Lushan in China are presented, which please the eyes of the visitors.
You can also enjoy beautiful colors offered by seasons. In Winter, you can enjoy Ume (Japanese plum) blossoms. In Spring, Sakura blooms. In summer, you can enjoy Water Lily and Lotus. In fall, you can enjoy great autumn colors.
Feel Edo Period at Koishikawa Korakuen. It is special place of scenic beauty and special place of historic monument like Kinkakuji in Kyoto, or Hamarikyu Garden in Tokyo.
Koishikawa Korakuen is right next to Tokyo Dome which is the one of the most famous amusement park in Tokyo. Many exciting and famous events are always hold at Tokyo Dome. It is the modern entertainment spot in Tokyo.
On the other side, Koishikawa Korakuen is still keep the classic style of Japanese Entertainment in recent Tokyo. It is the gardening. It was built in 1629 by Mitsukuni Mito who is also known as Mito Komon. You can see and feel the Edo air in this garden, and touch the history.


Just like Set, the WeakSet constructor takes in an iterable object as input. The main difference is that WeakSet can only contain objects & not any other type.
The other main difference between the two is that references to objects in a WeakSet are held "weakly". This means that if there is no other reference to an object in the WeakSet it will get garbage collected. The same is not true for Set. An object stored in a Set will not be garbaged collected even if nothing is referencing it.
This distinction is important because for this reason there is no way to access or iterate over objects stored inside a WeakSet. We also don't have access to the size of the weak set for this same reason.
has - returns a boolean after checking if an element with the same value exists in the weak set.


The volume of CineBook releases in India by Westland makes it mandatory that I cover there releases in logical groups, and first-up on that list is our favourite Lucky Luke.
There are no introductions needed for Lucky Luke in India, thanks to Tara Press, who launched a 5 issue set last year, which was covered in detail here at Comicology, along with the respective creator details. While the Southern Indian Comics Readers are more familiar to the Lucky Luke titles through the Tamil Language Comics giant Lion Comics, which has published Lucky Luke titles for decades, though occasionally.
But, CineBook is the first publisher which has gone on printing Lucky Luke Series in an orderly and regular fashion, and that gave us a bunch of Lucky Luke titles at one shot. While they are cover-priced at $11.95, they have been brought to sale in India, at a bargain price of INR 195/- by the Westland Publishers (subsidiary of Landmark Store Chain). Seems they have taken the leaf out of the Tara Press and Euro Books pricing policy to get to the masses. While the paper quality is not as thick as it was with Tara Press Lucky Luke Editions, they are nonetheless in quality either on prints or the package.
The Missing Pieces 4: Jesse James and 6: Ma Dalton, have already been released in India by Tara Press, which shows that Westland have taken enough care of not distributing those titles for which rights are held by Tara Press in India. There were only 5 titles published every by Tara Press, and they promised more, but yet to release any more from their brand.
3 out of the 4 Issues advertised, have already been printed in India by Tara Press, so it means that we could only be receiving Issue #12: "The Rivals of Painful Gulch in India", through Westland, if they continue to release the CineBook back titles in India, which looks highly probable (we could take the inspiration from the Last Page Ad below).
UPDATE (06/09): There are some new Lucky Luke titles released as part of CineBook's latest 2009 batch in India. For a list of them, refer to the CineBook 2009 batch list over here.
Great posts Rafiq! Great work! Look fwd to the reviews.
BTW guys, do you know where we can search for used comics in Chennai? Old moore market? Any recommedations for shops that sell old comics. Rafiq, others?
N: Sorry for a late response, but Shops which sell Old Comics, are now a rarity of sorts in Chennai. The only place I frequent now is the Moore Market, which has some rare gems occassionally. Old Newspaper shops near the Suburb railway stations are something you might want to check out too.
Anony: Thanks for that link, and it provided me great news, which I will definitely cover, during our next Lucky Luke Comics review post at Comicology.
By the way, I would be happy if both of you decide to leave your name (or probably a nick name) when you visit next, so as to track your repeat visits.
AND what about the issue 15 Mr Anoymous mentioned about in the earlier post? IF it is true, then another 3 books would have accompanied with that, since they have the practice of releasing books in terms of 4.
@ ERB: CineBook is so particular in releasing only those titles in India, which were not published by anyone else before them over here.
So obviously the 3 editions of Tara Press were missed out, but we did get Lucky Luke 15, and also Lucky Luke 16 from CineBook releases. More on that in our 2009 batch post of CineBook over here.
As this post, only talks about the 2008 release, I haven't updated it over here. Please a look at the 2009 batch list post along with 2008 batch over here.
I'm the same "mr. anonymous" as posted regarding lucky luke issue 15 (above). Today I was overjoyed to find 19 out of 24 of the new Eurokid Lucky Luke comics at my local book store!
I picked them all up of course and am now hunting for the remaining 5 to complete my collection. I have been collecting Lucky Luke since I was very young and have several very old (1967-1969) editions in my collection.
Go get these books guys.
Any idea if "Apache Canyon" has been released in India? It was scheduled for release in June 2009 by Cinebooks but I have been unable to locate it anywhere. Any help appreciated.
There are 50 cartoons of Lucky Luke released in english elsewhere. Let us try who lays our hands on them first.
@ Anony 1: Any comics fan who grew up reading Lucky Luke is going to be overjoyed seeing those Euro Books Lucky Luke installments. A post previewing each of that title is already posted at our blog, over here.
I hope that Euro Kids / Euro Books, realizes their venture into a profitable account, so as to keep seeing them releasing these wonderful titles or series for all of us.
@ Anony 2: ERB has already answered your query. But, for future references to check on the availability of CineBook editions, kindly refer to 2009 stub, over here. The link to that post was given at the end of the post above.
In case, if you don't find any of your searched item in the 2009 list, then log your queries there. This post is only restricted to the comments and views related to 2008 Lucky Luke titles of CineBook, so I would like to strictly keep the comments related to that. This will also help me to organise the responses, respective to each post thread. Hope you will understand.
Eager to own the copies to these great Lucky Luke episodes too.
I am delighted to stumble on this site after looking at 13 pages of google search for Lucky Luke. Thank you indeed for a great site. It is embarassing to learn that there are already Indian releases which I have not been aware of. Thanks again.
Got a friend that is selling a super collection.
He's got about 100 binders – 40 tinkles, 15 chandamama's, 50 indrajals and marvels and DC'2.
He said he'd settle for some crorish nuumbers.


Ever thought of how life would be without caffeine? Slow, right? Wrong! With the growing evidence against caffeine as detrimental to your health, it's about time you dropped coffee from your everyday life and substituted it with natural beverages. In this review, we've compiled a number of quality products from some of the best coffee substitute brands that'll help you transition from Ol' Joe! And for those of you who still want the caffeine, but don't like coffee - we even included a great high energy tea alternative.
Teeccino was founded in 1995 out of its founder's desire and dedication to bring the world fine herbal beverages.
Cafix is a beverage company that specializes in making richly flavored caffeine free drinks with numerous health benefits.
Founded in 2010, Crio Inc. seeks to bestow the world with the gift of brewed roasted cocoa beans as a delicious substitute to coffee.
Zest tea was started about 3 years ago out of its founders' passion to provide consumers with deliciously healthy tea.
Pero is a leading provider of high quality natural beverages that offer much needed relief from caffeine.
Requires a lot of powder per cup.
How Do I Choose the Best Coffee Substitute?
What's the first thing you do when you get out of bed? Make a cup of coffee. What's the first thing you do before you begin work? Make a cup of coffee. What do you do during your 10 o'clock break in the office? Make a cup of coffee. Clearly that's a lot of coffee considering that you're not even halfway through your day. For years you've wanted to quit caffeine, especially since the readings on your heart rate monitor are far from impressive. Well, it's about time you got a substitute for your cup of coffee.
Research over the years has shown that taking too much caffeine is detrimental to your health, which is the dominant reason why coffee substitutes have gained popularity. Weaning yourself off of coffee isn't easy, which is why you need something that tastes like coffee without the caffeine. The best coffee substitute should be made from natural ingredients and have distinct rich flavors.
Did you know that there are coffee alternatives that are compatible with your espresso machine? Better yet there are those that allow you to pour them on your coffee grinder and the result is a natural caffeine free drink. Coffee alternatives give you similar energy that you derive from coffee minus the jitters and increased heart rates due to the stimulants. Dropping caffeine from your lifestyle and embracing coffee substitutes is one of the best decisions you'll ever make.
Or maybe you are simply someone who doesn't like coffee, but you still want the caffeine? Believe it or not, there are teas out there with just as much if watching your intake is not a concern for you.
Dropping caffeine from your lifestyle is fairly inexpensive. With between $10 and $90 you can find good coffee alternatives that'll help you abandon caffeine painlessly. One key factor that brings a variance in prices is the ingredients that are used to make the coffee substitute. You may have to pay a little extra for coffee alternatives whose ingredients have an extra rich flavor.
Even when you're on a tight budget, stay away from cheap coffee substitutes that may indeed contain caffeine, if that's the thing you are trying to drop! Moreover, these cheap products may mislead you by claiming to be all natural yet may have some artificial additives.
With so many brands claiming to sell natural and organic coffee substitutes, you can get overwhelmed and even settle for something that won't help you in your caffeine free journey.
Type — Is the coffee substitute in the form of tea, ground cocoa beans or natural ingredients? Does it come in a tin, jar, pouch or sachet? Also, if caffeine intake is your concern, watch the fine print because not all substitutes are caffeine free - some are just reduced.
Flavor — Most of the coffee substitutes are flavored using various ingredients in order to enrich the taste and entice the consumer.
Servings — It's important to consider how many servings you require per cup in order to know the quantity you need to purchase.
Ingredients — Most of the coffee alternatives are made using carefully selected natural ingredients such as chicory and figs which have immense health benefits.
One of the things that stand out in the design of coffee substitutes is the type of packaging that contains the drink. You may find some that come in a tin while others are contained in a pouch. The contents of the drink may also come in a biodegradable sachet with a loose leaf which you dip in water to enjoy your drink.
The ingredients used to make coffee alternatives may vary from brand to brand, but one particularly popular ingredient is chicory, which is loved for its invaluable flavor. Some coffee substitutes may be made using roasted cocoa beans collected from cacao plantations. And of course there is the entire category of herbal and traditional teas.
All in all the best coffee substitutes should contain natural ingredients without any artificial additives.
Obviously, if your reason for the switch is due to caffeine content, coffee substitutes should be caffeine-free since the essence of drinking them is to wean yourself from coffee. Instant natural coffee alternatives are the easiest to use since all you require is hot water in a cup. You may find coffee substitutes that need brewing which is a similar process to that of making coffee.
Lack of stimulants improves the performance of coffee alternative since the product should give your body the same energy as that brought about by coffee, minus the jitters and increased heart rates. You'll be satisfied by the health benefits that come with embracing coffee substitutes, and it gets better when you maintain this lifestyle.
What is the Best Coffee Substitute?
Natural ingredients and low acidity are some of the factors you may want to have in mind as you shop for coffee alternatives. Is that all? No. We continue with some of the other features that'll help you settle for a good coffee substitute.
The Teeccino Vanilla Nut Herbal Coffee is an acid free organic beverage that contains unique, masterly-roasted ingredients that give it a velvety taste and unmatched aroma.

The Crio Bru Equador Ground Cocoa Beans Coffee Alternative is a magnesium-rich drink made from roasted criollo beans sourced from the finest Cacao plantations. Are you looking for a drink that's both caffeine and gluten-free? Then go for Crio Bru Ghana French Roast Organic Coffee Alternative!
Back in 2010, Crio's founder, Eric Durtschi introduced the world to a tasty coffee alternative made using roasted cocoa beans. Dr Durtschi got his inspiration from the Incas, an indigenous tribe from South America who brewed ground criollo beans for their kings. Crio is constantly revamping and reinventing its brewing process to ensure that its beverage remains luxurious and loved by consumers everywhere. Driven by passion to ensure that a cup of Crio is like no other, Dr Durtschi has invented a one of a kind grinder to optimize the way the beverage is brewed.

That said, the Crio Bru Ecuador Cocoa Beans Coffee Alternative comes in a fancy-looking foil packaging that attracts you to its healthy contents. Made of 100% cocoa beans, this coffee substitute that was formerly called Coca River will be sure boost your energy in a non-stimulant manner.
Make a healthy choice today by leaving caffeine for Crio Bru's coffee alternatives!
The Earl Grey Black Energy Tea is richly-flavored and packed with healthy amino acids and gives you 3 times the energy of the regular caffeine contained in coffee. If you'd like to try a different flavor, we believe that you'll love the Pomegranate Mojito Green Energy Tea, which offers 50 servings.
Ok, so this coffee alternative is definitely NOT for people making the switch from coffee to avoid caffeine. James and Ricky formed Zest Tea out of their insatiable love for tea and a hunger to transform the way people make their tea. At first, the two were strapped of capital, but through crowdfunding they were able to make their first shipment in January 2014. People around the world highly praise their products which are not only affordable but come in impressive, well-designed packages.
Its Earl Grey Black Tea is loved the world over due to its tantalizing taste that often makes you want a second cup. The secret: blending exquisite Nilgiri Indian Tea with bergamot oil! Who would've thought that blending the two would result in such awesome tea finesse? No wonder Zest Tea boasts of providing a tea product that has the energy characteristics of coffee.
Don't like coffee? Or want something different without losing the caffeine boost? Try one of the many varieties of Zest Tea!
The Pero All Natural Coffee Substitute is 100% free from caffeine and tastes like coffee due to its carefully selected natural ingredients, making it an ideal alternative to coffee.

New Delhi, 28September 2018: Swedish air purification expert Blueair and Indian child right's organisation CRY, have launched an ambitious initiative to improve the respiratory health of children across Delhi, one of the most polluted cities in the world. Health check-up camps to identify the respiratory health of more 3500 children is being arranged and air purifiers installed in community centers across the city.
UNICEF estimates that 600.000 children under the age of 5 die prematurely from air pollution every year. Children are more susceptible than adults to both indoor and outdoor air pollution as their lungs, brains and immune systems are still developing and their respiratory tracts are more permeable. Together, outdoor and indoor air pollution are directly linked to pneumonia and other respiratory diseases that account for almost one in 10 under-five deaths, making air pollution one of the biggest threats to children's health.
"Clean air is a basic human right. In an industrial area like Badli, with air pollution levels sometimes hitting 10 times the safe limit, the respiratory health of children is at risk. We are therefore grateful to Blueair and CRY for supporting our children breathe clean air" added Jitendra from Pahal, a CRY partner in Badlipur.
Arvind Chabra, Country Head of Blueair said, "We are confident that this initiative will be a first step to improve the respiratory health of the children in Delhi. What few know is that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. By ensuring clean indoor air for young children and pregnant women in anganwadi centers, we are also helping to reduce the health inequalities among the children in Delhi.
Clean air for children is an initiative launched by Blueair in 2016. Since then Blueair has donated air purifiers and face mask to schools, kindergartens, nurseries and children hospital in China, India, Korea, the UK and the US giving clean air to over 20,000 children.

Baltic Dance Theatre in The Tempest
Baltic Dance Theatre, Baltic Opera House, Gdansk – June 14, 2015
There have been a number of Shakespeare plays made into ballets, notably Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, although not that many contemporary choreographers have chosen the Bard for their source material. Izadora Weiss has bucked that trend by making full-length works out of both those plays and she has now added an exhilarating production of The Tempest to the repertoire of Baltic Dance Theatre, the company she has led since 2010.
Weiss joins a thin line of choreographers to have tackled the play most likely to have been Shakespeare's last, including Glen Tetley (1979) and Rudolf Nureyev (who had two attempts, in 1977 and 1982); although choreographic interest has accelerated in recent years with interpretations by Crystal Pite (The Tempest Replica, 2011), Alexei Ratmansky (2013), Krzysztof Pastor (2014) and David Bintley, whose version for Birmingham Royal Ballet is due to be premiered in 2016. All of these choreographers must have been acutely aware of the potential for getting wrecked on the rocks of The Tempest's myriad complexities.
For her part, Weiss has cleverly navigated the narrative with clarity, distilling the plot's essence into 80 minutes of absorbing dance theatre. She adopts a non-linear approach, punctuated by flashbacks and symbolism, achieving an end result that is both a masterpiece of simplicity and yet captures The Tempest's magical wonder of theatrical illusion.
This play has inspired over 40 operatic interpretations and a plethora of other music and so, perhaps the most surprising aspect of Weiss' production is her selection of a soundtrack based on Mahler's First Symphony, extended by the famous adagio from his Fifth Symphony (both as conducted by Leonard Bernstein). It's an inspired choice that serves the plot's diverse moods with faithful authenticity; restrained, dark, stormy, energetic and romantic. Mahler's familiar music provides evocative and descriptive themes for each of the key characters and luscious melodies for the key dance events. It is periodically interspersed with the sounds of a windswept island being battered by both natural and supernatural elements.
Central to any interpretation of The Tempest is the main character of Prospero, in which role Filip Michalak gives a towering and expressive performance. He dances with strength and authority in a series of duets with virtually every other major character and varies his moods effectively, from the gentle protectiveness of the father guiding his infant daughter to the safety of this remote island; the powerful sorcerer whipping up the tempest that will cause the shipwreck of his duplicitous brother, Antonio (played with arrogant disdain by Nikita Vasylenko); and finishing as a man, shorn of his magical powers, patiently resigned to the acceptance of death.
Prospero's island is represented by the idea of a women-only asylum, based upon a simple semi-circle of wooden panels (designed by Hanna Szymczak) that have four haphazard gaps through which characters enter and leave the visible stage. These bare wooden panels (not unlike miniature sight screens for a cricket match) provide a platform for Prospero's magical act of flight and represent the swirling chaos of the storm as they are skilfully manhandled around in violent circles by the male cast, like a rather dangerous game of theatrical, fairground "dodgems". The simplicity of Szymczak's set design is offset by the strikingly effective lighting created by Weiss herself, in collaboration with Piotr Miskiewicz.
There are six Spanish dancers in the current Baltic ensemble, and two of these lead the female cast: Naya Monzon Alvarez portrays the adult Miranda (a character first encountered as an infant in the arms of her father); and Ariel is also played by a woman. Tura Gómez Coll articulates Weiss' androgynous interpretation of Prospero's spirit-slave with a distinctive twisting, angular, rolling and spiky movement style. The opening scenes are dominated by the women, where Ariel is joined by a sextet of scantily-clad spirits and nymphs, costumes including leather hot pants, yellow frilly knickers and denim shorts. This group of seven female dancers work from deep pliés and move harmoniously in lunging, rolling, turning and marching motifs.
Their dancing is interrupted by the first appearance of Caliban (Joel Mesa Gutierrez, another Spanish dancer who is new to BDT this season). He is bald, bearded, wearing tight red shorts and a fur waistcoat; utilising a movement palette that is appropriately manic and twitchy, yet calm and comforted when caressed by Ariel and the other nymphs. They play with him like gymnasts experimenting on new apparatus but their mood turns darker and Caliban is ostracised after the representation of his attempted assault on Miranda.
The spirits and nymphs acquire false wings just prior to Prospero's magical flight over the set, leading into a strong solo by Michalak – to Mahler's fanfare – replete with strong jetés en tournants. We see a flashback to Prospero's usurping brother, Antonio, arriving with the sound of the wind and another that represents the death of Sycorax (Agnieszka Wojciechowska), which takes place to the solemn, funereal music that Mahler based on the popular children's round, "Frère Jacques".
After Prospero summons the storm, appropriately emphasised by the stormily agitated (stürmisch bewegt) fourth movement of Mahler's symphony, the male corps arrive, eating up the stage as an oval-shaped group of eight, before being blown away like tumbleweed at the end of their ensemble dance. The unconscious Ferdinand (Oscar Pérez Romero), son of the King of Naples, is revived by Miranda and Mahler's luscious melodies are ripe for a tender love duet, full of soft, swirling lifts. Their love-making is interrupted by Prospero who violently throws Ferdinand around the stage.
Radosław Palutkiewicz provides a strong and effective cameo as Alonso, the King of Naples, wearing an elaborate baroque costume, including a feathered cockade hat and a large cane. His arrival leads to a pre-wedding orgy of dressing-up when the 20 dancers are joined as wedding guests by a large group of actors. Szymczak's costumes are vivid enhancements of character and splendid vessels of the work's overall design quality. Who would think of covering Caliban in a pink, feathered boa?
Prospero is tied into a straightjacket by the vengeful Caliban, Trinculo (Bartosz Kondracki) and the drunken Stefano (Oleksandr Khudimov) and sits resignedly at the front of stage right (with Ariel reflecting his pose at the opposite side). Antonio taunts his incapacitated brother but is interrupted by the arrival of the King and the wedding party. Palutkiewicz dances a dandified little baroque solo, articulated by exquisite port de bras, disciplined pirouettes and dainty steps. It brings the first symphony to an elegant end with the dutiful applause of the wedding guests.
After the wedding party has vacated the stage, the sound of heavy wind and rain returns, emphasising the sorry state of Prospero and Ariel. With the opening chords of the Fifth Symphony adagio, Ariel slowly approaches Prospero and releases him. In return, he gives the spirit freedom by removing the non-functioning wings. As Ariel leaves, starkly lit from the side, Gómez Coll gently points her finger upwards and then moves it to indicate the newly-wed Miranda and Ferdinand, who proceed into their second duet; a more urgent and mature expression of love, danced in close harmony on the very edge of the strong light. As they leave, an angel (Beata Giza) appears, dressed in blue bodice and long lace skirt, dancing a lyrical and fluid solo, which leads into a gentle duet with Prospero. With the fading of Mahler's beautiful adagio, they both walk slowly backwards out of the light, her hand covering his eyes in a finale that has a powerful emotional impact, not dissimilar to the ending of Kenneth MacMillan's Song of the Earth, to the same composer's music.
Weiss is proud to declare herself a protégé of Jiří Kylián – having been mentored by him at Nederlands Dans Theater (and, indeed, BDT has a growing repertoire of his work) – and she shares his skill of structuring work effectively. She employs challenging music and creates impressive openings that draw the audience in, with memorable endings that stay deeply rooted in the consciousness. Weiss paces her work with an impressive sense of theatre, invariably leaving her audiences wanting more.
Outstanding full-length dance theatre is alive and kicking in Gdansk, and this skilfully constructed adaptation of The Tempest deserves to be seen beyond the Baltic shores.

At what distance from a converging lens of focal length?
Asked by: Domingo Spinka
Magnification 1 means that the image distance is the same as the object distance and the size of image is the same as the object. This happens only if the position of the object is at 2f, i.e, focal length. Thus, the object must be placed at a distance of 24 cm ( 2 × 12 ) from the converging lens.
At what distance from a converging lens is focal length 12 cm?
The object should be placed at a distance of 24 cm to from the lens (on the left side).
At what distance should an object be placed from a converging lens?
The object should be placed at a distance of -72 cm from the lens.
At what distance from a convex lens of focal length 12 cm should an object be placed so that the lens forms an image of the same size as the object?
Therefore, the object should be placed at a distance of 16 cm from the convex lens.
Which distance is the focal length of the lens?
The focal length of the lens is the distance between the lens and the image sensor when the subject is in focus, usually stated in millimeters (e.g., 28 mm, 50 mm, or 100 mm). In the case of zoom lenses, both the minimum and maximum focal lengths are stated, for example 18–55 mm.
At what distance from a converging lens of focal length 12 cm must an object be placed in order than
What 2 factors determine the focal length of a lens?
The focal length of a lens is defined by the refractive index of the glass, the curvature radii of the surfaces, and the medium in which the lens remains.
What is the power of concave lens of focal length 20cm?
So, the power of a concave lens is (-5 D).
What is the distance from a convex lens of focal length 20cm?
Now, to get a virtual image by the concave mirror, the object distance must be less than focal length. Hence, the required maximum object distance is 10 cm. Option B is the correct answer.
At what distance from a convex lens of focal length 30 cm and object should be placed?
hence, object distance also 60cm but left side of convex lens . in which position of image is right side.
What distance from a concave mirror of focal length is 10 cm?
The object should be placed at a distance of 6.66 cm on the left side of the mirror.
Where should an object be placed in front of a converging lens?
The object should be placed between 15cm and 30 cm( Between f and 2f) from the converging lens to obtain a real and magnified image.
At what distance should an object be placed from a lens of focal length 25 cm?
Given that, Focal length, f = 25 cm Image distance, v = 50 cm Form the lens formula, Or, u = −50 cm Magnification, The object must be placed 50 cm away from the lens, on the other side to produce a magnification of −1.
What is the magnification produced by a concave lens?
The image formed by a concave lens is always smaller than the object, therefore, the magnification produced by a concave lens is always less than 1.
What is the position of image when an object is placed at a distance of 10cm?
Therefore, the position of image will be at infinity.
Do converging lenses produce inverted images?
Convex (converging) lenses can form either real or virtual images (cases 1 and 2, respectively), whereas concave (diverging) lenses can form only virtual images (always case 3). Real images are always inverted, but they can be either larger or smaller than the object.
At what distance does a concave mirror focal length 20cm?
It is a concave mirror. To find: Object distance from the mirror . Therefore, the object should be placed at a distance of 60 cm from the mirror.
Where will a convex lens of focal length 20cm?
A convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed coaxially with a convex mirror of curvature 20 cm. The two are kept at 15cm apart from each other. A point object lies 60 cm in front of the convex lens. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image by the combination.
What is the power of focal length 20cm?
The power of a lens of focal length 20cm is 5D.
So both lenses have same convergence of refracted light. The diopter is the unit of measure for the refractive power of a lens. The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length in meters or D = 1/f.
What is the power of a concave lens of focal length?
The given focal length of the concave lens is f = -2 m. It is negative because a concave lens always has a negative focal length. The unit of power is dioptre (D) and 1D = 1m-1.
Can a concave lens make a real image?
The concave lens will not produce real images. Real images are not formed by a concave lens since the rays passing through the concave lens diverges and will never meet.
Is focal length of a lens constant?
The lens has a fixed focal length, but the distance to the object changes as you point the camera at different things.
What is the formula of focal length of lens?
The focal length of a thick lens in air can be calculated from the lensmaker's equation: P=1f=(n−1)[1R1−1R2+(n−1)dnR1R2] P = 1 f = ( n − 1 ) [ 1 R 1 − 1 R 2 + ( n − 1 ) d n R 1 R 2 ] .
What is meant by focal length of a lens?
Focal length of a lens is the distance between centre of lens and focal point . Focal point is a point on principal axis , at which light rays parallel to principal axis meet after refraction through lens or seem to meet after refraction .

President Donald J. Trump has signed a directive charting a new course in U.S. relations with Cuba. Citing the continuing repression of the Cuban people by the Castro regime, President Trump imposed new restrictions on U.S. travel to and business with Cuba, thereby reversing parts of an executive order by the Obama administration aimed at easing relations with the Cuban government.
The new U.S. policy channels economic activities away from the Cuban military while allowing American individuals and entities to develop economic ties to the private, small business sector in Cuba. It makes clear that the primary obstacle to the Cuban people's prosperity and economic freedom is a stifling, state-controlled economic system – including the Cuban military's extensive presence throughout the Cuban economy.
The policy also enhances travel restrictions to better enforce the statutory ban on U.S. tourism to Cuba; among other changes, travel for non-academic educational purposes will be limited to group travel.

To make better and informed decisions based on your business data, I have outlined some important KPIs for retail businesses.
Whether you are a new business or an established one, you cannot deny the fact that monitoring trends in your business is a good way to keep on top of things and implement changes to keep you competitive.
You're likely inundated with a lot of data and information. There's revenue and profit, sales per day, inventory data, and many more. With so many numbers surrounding your business, how do you know which ones to track, and take action on?. The answer to this is your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively a business is achieving key business objectives. KPIs are the most important metrics in your business. They help you answer the difficult questions. These are numbers that you must regularly monitor so that you can determine if your business is in a good shape and heading in the right direction. Every business is different and different KPIs will be used according to the needs of your business. Let's focus on the retail industry for a minute.
The following KPIs have been found to be relevant in a retail business. This list is by no means exhaustive.
This is a good indicator of how efficient you are with the use of sales space and assets. It measures how much sales revenue you are able to generate for each foot of retail space provided.This a popular retail sales KPI because it clearly demonstrates how effective your store layout and retail personnel are at selling product. As such, this KPI is important when redesigning or touching up your retail outlets, and will be the ultimate indicator of whether that redesign was successful or not.
$1,500,000 ÷ 1,800sq. ft. = $833.33 per sq. ft.
You can review this KPI regularly as you see fit but, most especially it will be relevant by comparing previous year with current year when it's time to negotiate your rent or redesigning the store.
This measures the quality of your customer service and provide a reflection of the public and your customers perception of your business. It's important to remember that, when you provide a good service, on average a customer will tell 2 or 3 people. If you provide a bad service they will tell about 8 or more people. This is a key KPI to track. It is a qualitative KPI which is as important as all the quantitative KPIs which we place heavy value on.This data can be collected by distributing forms at the point of sale or by sending your customers short survey forms by email.Yes, a customer questionnaire is valuable to ascertain what your customers can tell you about your service or products.
Inventory turnover refers to the number of times the average inventory of a product is sold in a year. It is an indicator of how quickly you are able to sell your product. In most cases the higher the stock turned over the better it is for your store. As we know, slow moving inventory is money tied down. This KPI helps you understand that.
To find out the ratio of your stock turn over the formula is: Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory.
So for example let's say your average inventory is $50,000 and if your cost of goods sold in a year is $200,000. Then your stock turnover for the year is 4. Which means you have sold your inventory 4 times more in the year.This ratio should be compared against industry averages. A low turnover implies poor sales and, therefore, excess inventory. A high ratio implies either strong sales or ineffective buying.
High inventory levels are unhealthy because they represent an investment with a rate of return of zero. It also opens the company up to trouble should prices begin to fall.
For more accurate inventory turnover figures, the average inventory figure, ((beginning inventory + ending inventory)/2), is used when computing inventory turnover. Average inventory accounts for any seasonality affects the ratio.
Have a proper analysis of your business and determine which metrics you would like to use in getting the most out of your business. If you don't understand any of the metrics get an accountant or a business advisor to put you through. Once you have identified the KPIs you want to track well, you need a solution that will help you bring it to life.

Petty Property Dispute Results in $1 Award of Damages at BC Supreme Court
Not all disputes deserve to end up in court and a recent property dispute ended up in front of Mr. Justice Wetherill at the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The case of Greenwood v. Hoffer, 2017 BCSC 884, is a cautionary tale about a bitter property dispute in which neither side was victorious considering the significant legal fees incurred.
This particular property dispute begins in 2010, when the Greeenwood family purchased a lot in Maple Ridge which bordered the Hoffer family. All was not as well as it seemed, and Ms. Hoffer learned that the Greenwood's fence encroached onto their property. Subsequently, the Greenwood's discovered that that a small 4 square meter portion of the Hoffer's driveway was in fact encroaching on their lot due to an error by the original developer. The Hoffer's insisted the fence be moved and the Greenwoods sought to exchange the encroachment of the fence for the encroachment of the driveway. No agreement was reached and the Greenwoods persisted in trying to have the offending 4 square meter of driveway removed. The Greenwoods claimed that the Hoffer's continued use of the offending driveway portion amounted to trespass. The Hoffers sought, by way of summary trial in front of Mr. Justice Weatherill, an order declaring that they were not guilty of trespassing and a dismissal of the Greenwood's claim.
Mr. Justice Weatherill, found that the Hoffers did use the offending portion of the driveway when accessing their own driveway and did so knowing full well that that particular area of driveway was not theirs and that doing so would antagonize the Greenwoods. He also held that those actions, while technically trespass, were trivial in the extreme, that no loss or damage in respect of that continuous trespass has been either pleaded or proven.
However, Mr. Justice Wetherill did find it appropriate to award, "nominal damages", which is a technical term for compensation where there has not been any real damage, but an infraction of a legal right. He awarded the Greenwoods nominal damages of $1.
Even though the Greenwoods were technically successful in their claim, they had refused an offer to settle for $3,000, and Mr. Justice Wetherill ordered the Greenwood's to pay the Hoffer's cost from the date the offer was served.
