Online libraries, Expert Advices, Encyclopedias of science, arts and business featuring online and offline services providing references and resources to masses are to be listed within this category. The category is reserved for knowledge management for education, business, society and technology and world records, but the exposure of the website mainly depends on its visibility in the right category, which can be met by following submission guidelines.
Add sites with exact details and precise explanation.
Use keywords oriented approach fro writing description of your site.
Knowing anything and inception of any idea in human mind is only possible if the mind previously has some information about that entity. So from the idea generating process to the re arrangement of all the facts and figures and researches everywhere references are needed in one way or other using offline media or search engines.
References, either in the form of a web copy or manual records retain an important place in all sorts of day to day activities from the making of business proposals to research on science and arts and societies and cultures. Bibliographic requirements of different researches ensure the qualitative aspect of the work and hence make difference each time research is done.
If you've to promote a website or offline resource, use the regular and featured listing each for specific results.


Promoting your business for an affordable fee is quite a difficult feat, while you might be able to find a high quality service for flyers, business cards, etc you will probably be charged over the odds. There is then the issue of having to wait for the services you've paid for. If you need to place a last minute order you can struggle to find a company that can print and deliver in 24 hours of placing it. To avoid disappointment and high costs www.instantprint.co.uk/businesscards is a simple and easy answer.
Finding an online printing site that specialises in 24 hour services will revolutionise the way you advertise your business. In three steps you can have standard or luxury business cards ordered and then delivered the next working day – great if you're on a tight schedule.
The process of ordering cards and flyers is the same with most companies. Firstly you upload your own artwork (or edit existing artwork provided by the printer) and once you've got your template selected you can move on to customising the information you want printing on the card. You can choose how many sides you need printing, the quality of the finish and whether they're laminated. Then you simply finish up by proceeding to the checkout and making your payment. Once dispatched most companies send you a text or email informing you of the delivery date.
Companies will claim to provide high quality flyers and leaflets at the same affordable fixed delivery price, but be sure to check the fine print to avoid any nasty surprises. To help keep costs down it is a handy to complete a price check that details the cost of the standard and premium flyers and leaflets of the printers you are considering using.


List of all exchanges where you can trade XPX coins, along with live charts from CryptoCompare and historical data.
How much do the different RIPA transactions cost?
Fees are too high, are you planning on reducing them?
Not at the moment, but this is being looked at.
What do I do with the passphrase?
The passphrase is the master password(key) for your XPXtokens. Every XPX address has its own unique passphrase. With the passphrase you can sign transactions to send your XPX or vote for a delegate.
Do not lose it, and do not share it with others, or you could lose access to your XPX tokens. If you lose your passphrase, or if it is stolen, there is nothing we can do to help you. We CANNOT recover any lost passphrases.
BACKUP YOUR PASSPHRASE! DO NOT LOSE IT! WRITE IT DOWN, SAVE IT HOWEVER YOU CAN!
I can't send a transaction because of a wrong passphrase. What should I do?
You can't do anything without the correct passphrase. Please be aware that every character and space counts. Try to remove spaces at the beginning and end. Try to check for capital letters, there should be none (by default 12 words, separated by space, all lower case letters, no space at the beginning or end). Try to spot incorrectly written words. If you do not have the correct passphrase … your tokens could be lost. Again, if you lose your passphrase, there is nothing the RIPA team or anyone else can do to help you.
Is the 12 word mnemonic passphrase really secure? Can it be brute forced?
Yes it is secure. The 12 word passphrases are much more secure than your usual passwords. Read more on mnemonic generation here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki#Generating_the_mnemonic. In other words, this means it would currently take all the computing power available on the planet Earth thousands of years to brute force your passphrase.
The second passphrases improves security by adding another 12 words that will be added to your address, making for 24 words total. Make sure you save this 2nd passphrase, as you will now need both passphrases to sign transactions — note that there is currently a 5 XPX transaction fee to create a second passphrase.
I lost / deleted my 2nd passphrase can I still use my RIPA account?
NO. If you lose or delete your 2nd passphrase you cannot access your address anymore or sign transactions. You can still import the account/address (1st passphrase), but cannot sign any transactions (you'd need 1st and 2nd passphrase for that). If you lose the 2nd passphrase, you officially make the address/account only view-able and not accessible.
2nd passphrase adds additional layer of security on top of your already secure 1st passphrase, but if you lose your 2nd passphrase, or 1st one, your access to that address/account and anything in that address are lost. There is nothing we can do to recover a lost passphrase of any kind.
I lost my passphrase. Can you guys reset it or reverse my transaction?
If you lost your passphrase there is literally nothing we can do for you — there is no refund button, "forgot my passphrase" or anything similar. We also cannot reverse any transactions on the blockchain as it is immutable. We are custodians of the code and making sure that the system works like a clock, not the gatekeepers of transactions on the RIPA blockchain.
WE CANNOT RECOVER LOST PASSPHRASES, NO ONE CAN.
Where can I download RIPA desktop wallet?
You can download the latest version of the RIPA desktop wallet from our official GitHub repository: https://github.com/RipaEx/ripa-desktop/releases/latest. Just choose the wallet download that matches your operating system.
Why is there a line through a cloud next to my address?
Don't worry about it, it means this account is new to the network and will disappear after interacting with the network.
I can't send a transaction because I get an 'Invalid timestamp error'. What should i do?
Your operating system time is wrong and is set manually. Please update your computer time/system clock to sync using the internet. You can google guides how to do that for every OS. After you do restart your RIPA Client.
When I try to send/vote I get the 'Error: Passphrase is not corresponding to account' what does it mean?
It means you did not write/copy your passphrase correctly when signing the transaction. Please be aware that every character and space counts. Try to remove additional spaces at the beginning and end of the passphrase. Try to check for capital letters, there should be none.(default is 12 words, lower-case, separated by space). Try to spot incorrectly written words (some words are similar and differ only by 1 letter, eg. grow — glow,row, …) . If you do not have the correct passphrase … then you CANNOT access that account. We cannot recover lost passphrases, no one can. Do not lose your passphrase.
What use are these "Offline" folders in the wallet?
You can use the offline folders to split-up your funds within a wallet. This allows you to better organize your RIPA without paying any fees within the same address. The splitting up of your XPX is local to your computer and not stored on the blockchain.
When I open my RIPA desktop wallet I see an empty RIPA address which should have XPX tokens in it. What could be the reason I cannot open my RIPA address?
Most likely you are not connected to the network, make sure the cloud icon in the upper right menu (3rd icon) has a checkmark inside it (meaning connected to network) and does not have line through it(disconnected from RIPA network). If it has a line through it, it means either you are not connected to the internet or your firewall maybe blocking your data traffic.
When I open RIPA Desktop I see black screen and nothing is there / I'm trying to make a screenshot and screen is black?
If you are connecting to your computer via remote software (eg. Teamviewer) your screen will be black for security reasons (prevents someone trying to access from remote computer, they won't be able to see your RIPA wallet). Same goes when you are trying to make a screenshot (screen will show black). If you want to disable this, click in the upper left menu Application -> Disable screenshot protection (unsafe). It will be re-enabled every time you restart the wallet.
How can I get XPX tokens?
XPX is not yet available on exchanges, as it is still at the early stages, exchange listing will happen towards the end of the development phase.
Earn XPX by contributing to the project. If you have a skill or something worth contributing, message @bitnow in telegram with your idea and if it is used, you can earn XPX for your efforts.
No. You need to send the XPX to your personal RIPA address and vote via the official RIPA desktop wallet in order to vote.
How much will I get from voting?
How much you receive is up to the pool operators and not contingent on any rules set up by the RIPA Crew. You can check sharing approximations in one of the community built calculators when they become available.
How much XPX do I need to vote?
The fee to register your vote is currently 1 XPX. Your remaining balance will decide how much of a share you will get from your pool operator for your delegate. Please check sharing calculators listed above and then you can estimate how long it will take to gain back the fee. It is important to check the delegates proposals often as they may change. Some delegate pools do have requirements that you need to fulfil in order to get rewards. Some also deduct the transaction fees from your share. If you can find a good delegate it makes sense to vote even with around 100 XPX. But the entire voting system is subject to the ever changing delegate market. Please educate yourself before voting. If you have delegate specific questions, contact the delegate you wish to vote for. Delegates have contact info in their proposals.
No. All you can "lose" is the 1 XPX voting fee. All other XPX tokens will stay in your wallet and you have full control over them. Please do not send tokens to any of the delegates! That will not count as a vote and you might lose your tokens.
You can only vote for one delegate from one address. If you want to support multiple delegates you will have to create additional addresses and split up your XPX into multiple addresses.
Do i have to re-vote when I receive additional XPX tokens in my wallet?
No. You need to send the XPX to your personal RIPA address and vote via the official RIPA desktop wallet.
I just put all my XPX on a Ledger Nano S, do I need to re-vote?
How can I earn some bounties?
Sometimes official explorer doesn't work, why?
We receive a lot of traffic and sometimes explorer gets stuck, which needs to be restarted and resync with blockchain so can take some time.
What can I do in that case if official explorer is not available?
How can I setup a node for RIPA network?
How can I better secure my RiPA server?
How can I enable swap memory and swapiness on my RIPA server?
What are you guys working on now, whats the next update?
You can check our roadmap for current updates and ongoing projects: All the information related to the Ripaex project is contained in the RIPAEX white paper including roadmap. The new ripaex website will contain the roadmap, it will be available soon.
When will the next "big thing" be released, why are there no dates?
RIPA gives no dates, we develop and announce. We update when we feel something is ready and properly announce via social media and this blog.
RIPA does not discuss marketing plans or strategic partnerships with the general public. Message a team member privately if you have something to discuss.
When will you be on new exchanges?
RIPA does not discuss strategic partnerships or exchange additions with the general public until we are ready to announce them or when exchange decides to announce.


We're back in Texas after a vacation adventure to the Pacific Northwest. This was not a birding adventure, but we still managed to see some cool birds anyway. Hopefully I'll have a chance to relate a story or two soon.
Meanwhile, though, I am happy to see that our resident flock of at leat sixteen(!) Lesser Goldfinch has stuck with us during our absence, thanks to the prodigious amount of nyger seed we left out in numerous feeders. It is hard to believe that only a few months ago I claimed that a Lesser Goldfinch sighting in our yard was unusual. This spring and summer, they have become the dominant bird in our yard, and their numbers keep increasing.
Also, we were delighted to discover that the cool weather appears to have come back with us. Dare I hope that we have already seen our last 100 degree day for the year?
Bella bella bella! Thanks for that photo! And I'm happy to hear about the birds too.

Cutout Bin: Censored and "Recalled" Album Covers
Nick DiFonzo July 16, 2009 11:07AM
The Beatles, Yesterday and Today (1966)
We start with perhaps the best-known example of a "recalled" album cover. When advance copies were sent to stores and DJs, there was an immediate uproar over the cover, showing the band covered in baby parts and bloody meat. All copies were ordered to be returned to the manufacturer. These copies were "pasted over" with a new cover and sent back to stores. Only a handful of copies escaped the "repasting" and are of course valuable collector items. Many people tried to peel the new cover off, making an original "unpeeled" copy valuable, too!
The Mamas and the Papas, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears (1966)
One of the most baffling of history's "recalled" covers, someone apparently thought an unoccupied toilet was offensive. The original cover was quickly withdrawn and replaced with an awkward song-title box covering the offending bowl. Later copies had the entire bathroom cropped out!
Rolling Stones, Beggars Banquet (1968)
Here we have an example of when controversy caused the cover to change before it was even released. Both the U.S. and UK record companies refused to release the original cover, which appears to be a vintage approximation of the Rudyard's men's room. The dull "RSVP card" cover was released instead, until the original art was restored on CD releases in the '80s.

While cats perform a great job with basic grooming without anyone else, there are various grooming related things that they require help with. Cats intuitively groom themselves to expel any odors that might be seen by different animals, particularly predators. Cats are likewise ready to keep up a sound looking coat by day by daily grooming and conveying natural oils to keep their coats perfect and shine.
Cat grooming is a fundamental practice for pet owners who have cats. Cats have all sizes of coats with some having long hair and others having short hairs. A few cats have normally great hair and the cats tend to deal with themselves by preparing their fur utilizing their tongue and teeth. In many cases, a small contribution from the pet owner is likewise required. This is in the form of almost daily grooming of the long hair assortments and lesser measure of grooming for the shorter hair types.
The most widely recognized issue related with poor grooming is the formation of hair mats. These are thick tangles of hair, which cause torment and the real bad ones can even tear the skin of the cat. Moreover, when the cat grooms itself, utilizing its tongue and teeth, it is swallowing hairs which shape hairballs in the stomach. In serious cases, these hairballs can even clog the digestive tracts. These issues can be avoided if the owner grooms his/her cat routinely. As a rule, all that is required is a metal brush and a slicker brush. The metal brush is made of stainless steel and has wide-set round teeth and the slicker brush has bristles that take after the scratches on the feline's tongue. For active cats, a flea comb is a sensible investment and helps in expelling these parasites from the fur.
It is most critical to make your cat agreeable about your grooming. When you need to groom your cat, approach it in a friendly. Amid grooming converse with your cat in a gentle consoling tone and do some general petting with the grooming strokes. Try not to drive your cat into clumsy positions and consider any indication of distress that your pet may appear. If the cat begins to battle at that point quit grooming and isolate the grooming plan into smaller time frames spread over more days or hours.
In many cases, it is likewise advisable to look for proficient help for cat grooming. This is particularly essential when you need to get a terrible tangle unraveled or to dispose of persistent parasites. Proficient help can be from a veterinarian or an expert groomer. The main benefits of expert Cat Grooming in Erie are their abilities and experiences. They can give you incredible tips and systems for home cat grooming. Proficient cat grooming can compensate for any loose ends that stay during home grooming.

Homebirth is a place where the rhythm and timing of your body are honored and waited on by patient and compassionate midwives. It is a wonderfully joyful experience for many women and their families. At home you are free to labor and birth how and where you instinctively desire and feel 'in charge' of the situation. You create your own little nest, deciding for yourself whose faces, what sounds, and aromas will surround you. Having your baby in the comfort of your own home in familiar surroundings can be very supportive and promote an easier birth. Homebirth also allows for full participation of family members. In fact, your baby can be born into the loving hands of Daddy under the guidance and assistance of the midwife! At home you get to experience the bliss of greeting your new baby and never being separated. When it's all said and done, you crawl into your freshly made bed and cuddle with your newborn.
It's been proven that women tend to relax better and labor quickly when in familiar, comfortable surroundings. At home, you can be confident in knowing that you delivered your baby without drugs and unnecessary interventions. Families who have their babies at home report a greater overall satisfaction with the birth experience. Over 99% of women who have experienced both home and hospital birth say that they would choose to have a home birth in the future. And, when it comes down to it, homebirth is less expensive, costing 1/4th to 1/3rd of a normal hospital birth. Although the birth of a healthy baby is our ultimate goal, we believe that the process itself has great value and importance. The midwives carefully monitor you and your baby but do so in a gentle way.
You may be surprised to find that for the majority of women, homebirth is just as safe, in fact safer than giving birth in a hospital. Recent studies show definitely that there is no improvement in outcome, for the mother or baby, in hospital birth as compared to those births that happen at home with an experienced midwife. The data actually supports that outcomes are slightly better in low-risk births out of the hospital.
You and your baby also have a reduced chance of getting an infection when birthing at home. In your home you are less likely to be in contact with infectious organisms.
If you are transported to a hospital during a homebirth, statistics indicate that you and your baby are just as likely to have a good outcome as if you had started out in a hospital setting.

It has become necessary for corporate to adapt to this biggest tax change in there SAP system or Other Accounting Software.
We are working with more than 500 corporates to facilitate them to ease this transition.

2) Credit setoff will be on automatic pop-up basis under GST regime so it is very necessary that the vendor is genuine and entry in his accounts is booked in the same relevant month as of ours to claim setoff.
3) A proper bifurcation is also required to CGST, SGST and IGST as they are not allowed to set-off with each other in certain conditions.
4) Stock details should be maintained as it is proposed that Closing stock as on period end has to be submitted in the return.
5) KYC detail of Buyer and Seller should be maintained as the GST benefits of setoff for only genuine vendors shall be available.
6) A new reverse charge system as of now applicable in Service tax, will now become more relevant for all dealers. So not just Sales but expenses part also has to be taken care of in GST regime.
7) As GST will bring One tax in India it is necessary to maintain proper stock records individually locationwise in Godown, Branch and Shop within and outside State.

I am a big fan of rustic homes with a modern flair! I was recently searching for some Flos Parentesi inspiration and I came across this beautiful renovation project in Salento, Italy. It's the home of architect Luca Zanaroli. What I liked most was the untidy yet minimal feel it gives. The material selection is perfect and the lighting around the house is really clever, despite the arched ceilings. I am in love! Enjoy!

It remains one of the most elusive concepts in the world of exchange traded funds, but there is demand for an ETF linked to bitcoin.
A new survey from Bitwise Asset Management, which is trying to launch a bitcoin ETF of its own, indicates a fair amount of financial advisors would like to see a bitcoin ETF come to market.
Bitwise recently commissioned a survey of 150 financial advisors and the results regarding demand for a bitcoin ETF are encouraging.
A bitcoin ETF, which U.S. regulators have yet to approve, is widely viewed as an avenue for increasing adoption of bitcoin and bringing cryptocurrencies further into the mainstream from the fringes of financial markets.
Last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission rejected applications for bitcoin ETFs from ProShares, Direxion and GraniteShares, among other issuers. The SEC is considering an application for an institutionally-focused bitcoin ETF from VanEck and fintech firm SolidX, but a decision on that fund was previously delayed and could be delayed further due to the government shutdown.
With hundreds of new ETFs coming to market every year, it may seem like it's easy to bring these products to market, but Bitwise reminds industry observers that concepts that look easy to launch today once faced hurdles similar to what bitcoin ETFs currently face.
It took six years from the first filings for actively managed and leveraged ETFs to see those products come to life and there was a nine-year gap in between the launch of the first equity-based ETF and the first fixed income ETF, according to Bitwise.
Bitwise draws some comparisons between the state of bitcoin ETF efforts today and the situation faced by the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) prior to its late 2004 launch.
There are no guarantees a bitcoin ETF, if approved, will find the immediate success that GLD did, but a bitcoin ETF would make the digital currency more accessible and potentially more palatable to a broader swath of investors.


OmniFocus was on my first evaluation list too and I started with Things because of its simplicity. This is still true for me. OmniFocus just has too many features and possible uses. I'd just loose myself in configuring it instead of using it.
2Do was a lucky find. There are other apps out there which I found, but didn't even consider. This one made the cut. It's somewhere in between Things and OmniFocus.
– Its free! If you need it only on iOS, that is. The Mac app and syncing (through Dropbox) are paid.
I decided to go with 2Do because of the extra features (compared to Things), especially the extra levels and repeats. I like the compact layout of the app, however it takes some getting used to, especially on iOS. I've been using it for a few months now and really like it. It's well worth the money (which is about the same as Things 4 and OmniFocus standard).


British brand Jacques Vert is not one I normally wear. To me, it had connotations of the mother of the bride and has always seemed, dare I say it, rather frumpy.
Not a look I aspire towards.
However, the brand is undergoing a revamp so with fresh eyes I have discovered some absolute gems. There are several pieces that women younger than the perceived target market could style and accessorise to look anything but frumpy.
A collaboration with Lorcan Mullany has produced a collection of cocktail dresses, evening gowns and separates perfect for the party season. Mullany spent 25 years designing for the legendary fashion house, Bellville Sassoon and has made clothes for, among many others, Princess Diana and Helen Mirren.
I have selected a pair of trousers, a dress and a top from this collection and presented them with a few inspirational styling ideas.
The Lorcan Mullany chiffon trousers can be styled to look like a jumpsuit when worn with a chiffon sleeved jumper.
This season's pointed flats and a bracelet from Jacques Vert, keeps the look streamlined and elegant with a touch of sport luxe.
The Lorcan Mullany faux fur cuff shift dress needs little extra to make it look special. Keep it simple and echo the shape of cuffs with rectangular earrings, clutch and boxy heels.
The Lorcan Mullany tassle tunic is the ultimate party top and has a hint of the roaring 20s about it. An art deco style clutch reflects this while skinny jeans and killer heels make this very much an outfit of the moment.
My latest blog posts have been about my birthday. There's just one more celebration left when later this week, I'm cooking for my girlfriends, three of whom also celebrate birthdays around this time. It has become something of a tradition and one I very much look forward to.
As part of a collaboration with Jacques Vert, I have one of these three Lorcan Mullany pieces which I'll be wearing and I absolutely can't wait.
Next Post Outfit: Braintree Floral Dress and Purple Brogues.

DeepGRU: Deep Gesture Recognition Utility (MIT License)
DeepGRU is (yet another) deep learning-based gesture recognizer. However, I designed this network model with three very important goals in mind: the network should be super easy to understand and implement, yet data agnostic and powerful while offering fast and efficient training. My intent was to show that good deep learning-based recognizer need not be mind-boggling or convoluted (pun intended): on the contrary, one could design a very simple network model with basic GRU building blocks that could beat most state-of-the-art methods.
DeepGRU is written in Python and uses the PyTorch framework. Its reference source code is available on GitHub.
Gesture Path Stochastic Resampling (GPSR): (US Patent 10,133,949)
Our patent pending method intelligently resamples time series data (such as handwritten strokes, gestures, etc.) and produces realistic variations of the data. Through evaluations, we established GPSR as a viable means of producing synthetic gesture data to train various gesture recognizers. A live demo of our approach is available here.
Source code for GPSR is available as a part of the Jackknife recognizer on GitHub.
Jackknife Gesture Recognizer: (UCF License)
Jackknife is an award winning, general purpose gesture recognizer for C++, C#, and JavaScript that is designed to work with a variety of input devices including Kinect, WiiMote, Leap Motion, as well as touch and stylus devices. Our recognizer can even be used to detect hand gestures passing through inaudible sound waves due to the doppler effect. If the input can be represented as a sequence of points through time, there is a good chance that our recognizer can be used to detect input patterns with high accuracy. Jackknife is also designed for gesture customization. This means that a user or developer only needs to provide one or two examples of a gesture pattern to work, whereas other recognizers require lots of training data, which may be quite difficult to collect.
Reference source code for Jackknife is available on GitHub.

librealsense with ARM support: (Apache v2)
A fork of the original librealsense library with the addition of ARM support. librealsense uses SSSE3 SIMD instructions for unpacking frames to the desired color format. This was necessary probably due to the nature of the pixel unpacking operations as they are inherently slow and are data parallel. Since SSSE3 is specific to x86 architecture, workarounds are needed for getting the code to compile under ARM. These workarounds are implemented in this fork. This library follows the original Apache v2.0 license of librealsense and is available on GitHub.
CodeFull Toolkit: (Apache v2)
CodeFull Toolkit is an OpenGL-based visualization toolkit for .NET. The goal of this toolkit is to provide 3D visualization tools equivalent to the WPF 3D framework. CodeFull Toolkit is written in C# and uses OpenTK for OpenGL interop. This toolkit is released under Apache v2.0 license and is available on GitHub.
Some screenshots are available below.
CarveSharp: (GPL v3)
Carve is a fast, robust constructive solid geometry library. CarveSharp is a .NET wrapper for Carve's mesh boolean operations. Using CarveSharp, set operations such as intersection, union, differencing etc. can be performed on triangular meshes. CarveSharp is written in C# and released under GPL v3 license in GitHub. CarveSharp uses the CodeFull Toolkit library.
Below is the result of subtracting a cube mesh from a chair mesh (the chair mesh was obtained using Kinect Fusion).
CudaHoG: (Apache v2)
CudaHoG is an efficient implementation of Dalal & Triggs Histogram of Oriented Gradients in CUDA.
It is written in C++11 with optimization in mind. Features can be extracted using the library or the MATLAB MEX interface that it provides. The project is open source (Apache v2.0 license) and available on GitHub.
Here are some screenshots of the results of feature extraction (click each image to enlarge).
CUDA Extensions for Genetic Programming in ECJ: (Apache v2)
This library provides support for automatic parallel tree evaluation and fitness calculation on GPU for ECJ using JCuda and TransScale. The project is still under development. However, most problems should be able to benefit from the massive processing power of the graphics cards with minor modifications. The project is open source and available on GitHub.

Uruguay accepts six Guantanamo prisoners for resettlement
Six prisoners held for 12 years at Guantanamo Bay have been sent to Uruguay to be resettled as refugees, the U.S. government announced Sunday — a deal that had been delayed for months by security concerns in the Pentagon and political considerations in the South American country. The six men — four Syrians, a Tunisian and a Palestinian — are the first prisoners transferred to South America from the U.S. base in Cuba, part of a flurry of recent releases amid a renewed push by President Barack Obama to close the prison.
We are very grateful to Uruguay for this important humanitarian action, and to President Mujica for his strong leadership in providing a home for individuals who cannot return to their own countries.
U.S. State Department envoy Clifford Sloan
All were detained as suspected militants with ties to al-Qaeda in 2002 but were never charged. They had been cleared for release since at least 2010, but could not be sent home and languished as the U.S. struggled to find countries willing to take them. Uruguayan President Jose Mujica agreed to accept the men as a humanitarian gesture and said they would be given help getting established in a country with a small Muslim population. Among those transferred is 43-year-old Syrian Abu Wa'el Dhiab, who was on a long-term hunger strike at Guantanamo to protest his confinement. He was at the center of a legal battle in U.S. courts over the military's force-feeding of prisoners who refuse to eat. The men's release brings the total number of prisoners at Guantanamo to 136 — the lowest number since the first month the prison opened in January 2002.

I have no tolerance for whiners! No tolerance at all. These are people who moan and groan about all the reasons that their life isn't better. They blame everything and everyone; their age; their income; their education; their gender; their family background; lack of education; the government; the president; the weather; bullies; spouses. Enough already!
I must make a concerted effort not to act on the urge to jump off my house, so, I try hard to not allow the whiners to get to me, to spoil my passion for life and my belief in our collective potential. The fact is, whining does no good. It never solves anything. It's just what it is; making an excuse for an individual's lack of effort, confidence and laziness.
I've compiled a list that I offer to all whiners of the world. The list details just a few of the things that you can do, to improve your life, that requires ZERO talent. Here are five items from my list that cost nothing and again, no talent is required.
ATTITUDE: It is said that a full 85% of all success is based on attitude. You completely choose whether you are a sourpuss or happy. If you don't think you have anything to be happy about, then just be happy that you woke up this morning. You choose whether you have a "survival" mindset or a "thrive" mindset. As Zig Ziegler would say, "it's time to do a check up from the neck up!" Be clear with yourself what your attitude is and then either accept it and shut up or change it and allow into your life what it has to offer.
BE ON TIME: Now, how hard is it to just be on time for meetings, appointments, family gatherings. You don't have to be Einstein to just be on time!
WORK ETHIC: Working hard requires no talent. The difference between those that succeed and those who are professional whiners is usually their ability to work. They work hard when they're happy and they work hard when they're not. They understand that whether they like the job or not, that they owe an honest day's work to the person that gives them a paycheck. It's that simple. A work ethic out paces talent, education, IQ, and any degree. Those things mean nothing if you're not willing to put them to work. Again, hard work requires no talent!
TRYING/EFFORT: Trying requires no talent. I recently heard a story about a man who was in trouble with the IRS because he hadn't filed his taxes in years. When asked why he said that it wasn't his fault. No one ever showed him how to fill out the paperwork. No, he was just lazy. Well maybe more than that. Maybe, stupid and lazy. A whiner deluxe. People like this will blame everyone except themselves, yet they've never even tried to figure it out, fully aware (maybe) of the consequences. Try, really try to make an effort of some kind to take some level of action.
ENERGY: No talent is required to show some energy. The Beach Boys had it right when they sang about Good Vibrations. People do emit good and bad vibes. I must admit that people who drag around, whining about everything, looking for fault in everyone repulse me. I don't even want to breath the same air. They need to be video taped and forced to watch it and tell us what they see. Unfortunately, many will see nothing unusual. But this kind of person can infect an entire workplace and managers and leaders must protect their teams from these people. It requires only an awareness and a change of mindset to at least ACT like you have more energy. That simple act will change the vibe that you project to everyone around you, from the workplace to home.
I'm sure you can add to the list, but the point is simple. In a professional or personal life, whining get's you no further than you already are. The time is now to commit to a life of No more complaints; No more blame; No more whining.
You will be amazed at how your universe might immediately change. Take some responsibility, or, understand that you're ok with your "whiner life", accept it, and then shut up and don't infect the rest of the world.


Valerie Barrow opens our meeting with great love and respect and calls upon Cosmic Sai Baba and the White Sisterhood in Andromeda. We welcome them and ask them to bless this Oracle.
We asked was there anyone present – the answer came – almost a No – but then was very definitely a Yes. I love their sense of humour! We all laughed loudly.
We were asked to always call on Cosmic Sai Baba first – he would always set up the platform for the connection to Andromeda.
It is I, but I am only here briefly, but connecting the energy to Andromeda and the White Sisterhood, from which you girls belong. I am handing you over to Andromeda Val, she is here waiting, and very glad to be able to come in service.

As you can imagine, as a Grey's Anatomy spinoff, the expectations are high for this series. In a country where we have so much love and respect for our first responders and those stepping up as helpers in times of need, this show is so timely and offers so much perspective and depth into what goes on behind the scenes. And none of that is accidental we learned, as Executive Producer Stacy McKee shared with us a bit of history into how the show came to be and just what it's about:
I wrote on "Grey's Anatomy" for 500 million years. I started on Season One and moved up the ranks and finished there on Season 13 in order to come over here and create a spinoff about firefighters, which is kind of amazing. And it seems like a really natural sort of extension of the Grey's universe because it still involves medicine and in the background of all the Grey's episodes. You see all of the first responders scootching into the breezeway, dropping off patients and then you know, really quickly we dispense with them and get them out of the scene so we could focus on the surgeon.

But what about if we got back in the ambulance and drove away with them and then started to see what their life was like? What if there was a fire station, 3 blocks down from this hospital that we've been seeing for 13 years and they have a whole life that's been going on this whole time too. What if we just shine a light over there so that was really sort of the beginning gestation of the idea and it's just also just something really appealing to me. You know Grey's, you know what it's like, it makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it makes you like Mm, feel things and it was really appealing to me to show those same types of emotions, and the same type of humor but to do it in a world of first responders.

Especially right now, this day and age, I feel like the world can be tough. There's a lot of difficulty when you wake up every morning, you open up your news, there's stuff that's hard. And to focus on a group of people whose only job is to help other people. Doesn't matter who you are, doesn't matter what color you are, what your religion is, doesn't matter what your politics are. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that if you are a person who needs help, these characters will help you. And to me, that was just remarkable. I wanted to put that little piece of joy out into the world. It's so unifying and universal. And it seems like this was the right moment to tell stories like these.

Clearly some insane talent here, Stacy McKee is a boss! Working with her was obviously something that both Jaina and Boris are excited about, and he shared with us his genuine love for being a part of this show (and it almost made me tear up!):
I love writers and I love great writers and to sort of put myself in the hands of someone like Stacy is an absolute pleasure and honor really, because you know that every single episode, where you don't think it can get any better and then you open a script and then the script is better than the script that you read before, and that's always an amazing surprise and it's so much fun to go to work because not only do you get to speak these words but also work with people like Jaina and people who have been so embracing of me.
And this is such a great atmosphere and (to Stacy) that speaks to what you bring to this universe because it starts at the top and then it sort of trickles down all the way to everybody else and I've been part of sets where it wasn't the case where there was a lot of negativity and people just not happy to be there and this is just a pleasure to be a part of, every single day.

Seeing the interaction between Jaina Lee Ortiz and Boris Kodjoe was really neat too … they clearly have a lot of respect for each other, and there is no shortage of fun on the set either. When asked about being the new kid on the show, he was quick to poke fun:
Yes one of my co-stars has been a little difficult (turning to Jaina) but yeah, I've been getting help in trying to understand her and how to deal with her, neuroses and stuff but other than that, it's been all right.
See this little smirk? How fantastic is this:

But don't worry, Jaina is no push over. She jumped right back in by telling him it was all ego. That was hilarious.
And of course, while they have a lot of fun on the set, the fact of the matter is that the content is often quite serious and heart wrenching and based on real life situations. Boris shared with us just how they bring that all to life in a believable format:
I mean we, the writers as well as actors, you try to heighten the stakes as much as you can. Absolutely, we've been in situations that are similar and we've been in situations that we can associate with that apply to that moment and absolutely, that's the goal. You want to feel it, you want to be authentic in that moment and sometimes you have to transport yourself back to when that happened. And it's a challenge that not every actor embraces because it can be tough and painful and all of that because all of that stuff comes back up but I definitely look for it, absolutely.
And Jaina added in her thoughts in regards to working empathy into the retelling of these stories:
You have to have empathy I think because at some point in time, someone has gone through that same circumstance, that same situation and to kind of relive that experience, it's terrifying but also invigorating in way…I enjoy that because our normal lives are just normal but when we have to play these characters and tell these stories, they are exciting and we get to transfer that.
When you watch the show, things look amazingly real. Stacy shared with us just how they create the realistic and dramatic scenes:
Basically our main set is a fire station set, which is so cool. The interior of it is all on our stages. The exterior is all shot on location in Seattle.So when you see those exterior scenes, we went to Seattle, we shot all of those actually there on location. As for the incidents with the fires and stuff, it's sort of a combination. We have both practical fire that we do a lot on our burn stage. We have a stage that we sort of dedicate to burning things up, but we also then supplement and add a lot of CG fire as well. So it's both a combination of computer generated, really crazy fire and then some practical stuff that we can use that's still safe for everybody to be around.
It was such an honor to spend time on this set with these wonderful people, thank you to Stacy, Jaina and Boris for sharing a bit of your day with us and giving us a peek into your Station 19 world.
