Event Aftermath
Figure News
Check out the Destiny PS3 & PS4 Comparisons
Written by Chad
You can see the comparisons on the visuals from the PS3 and PS4 for the Beta test of Destiny.
The guys at DigitalFoundry took some footage during the Beta from both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, so far you can see that the PS3 can still provide great visuals for Destiny, though a bit blurry compared to the next gen PS4. When looking at the PS4 footage, there are some effects that are only visible to the next-gen console, such as those flare effects when characters teleporting to the scene. Despite lesser effects, the PS3 version still packs a good punch.
Next on the video is the framerate comparison between the two consoles for the game. Both games run at 30 frames per second, what's really impressive is that the PS3 version can still run the game at 30 frames though there are rare cases that it drops the FPS at around 28 as its lowest, while the PS4 can maintain a 30 framerate from the video test.
It seems like PS3 users can still enjoy the game without sacrificing much detail on the visuals, but they can still use their PS3 save datas once they transitioned to the PS4 as Destiny allows save transfer from last-gen (PS3) to current-gen (PS4)
Destiny will have its retail launch for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on September 9.

I'm not a Windows 7 phone users but according to this article this works Marketplace for Windows Phone 7 apps now working in India | ZDNet our admin is using W7P i'm sure he'll be happy to comment when he comes.
I am using WP7. You cannot download apps on your phone directly from the marketplace. Updates do not get downloaded via the phone. You have to connect your phone to your PC and install then via the Zune software. Using my credit card I am even able to buy paid apps. You can use Windows Phone MarketPlace Enabler.
The legal and other issues which were stopping MS from making marketplace available here have been addressed. The marketplace will be accessible in India after Mango is officially released here and/or around September/October this year.


Switching between apps was always a bit of a guessing game on iOS but now when you press the home button twice, you will actually see preview screens of the apps you actually have open, making it a lot easier to jump between apps.
It's also now quicker to close apps which now just takes a swipe while in preview mode.
Notifications have now been expanded to include "Today", "All", and "Missed" tabs which provide more detail of upcoming meetings in your calendar, weather, stocks, missed calls and other notifications.

The default Mail app has been improved and incorporates new features such as the ability to view PDF annotations directly from within an email and much improved search capabilities. In addition, Microsoft Exchange 2010 users can also now sync notes with Outlook on their desktop PC.
Apple has made some notable improvements with iOS 7 that will interest business users who usually have their idevices managed by IT departments. You can now enter your own personal Apple ID when making purchases on a company account and apps are placed in the employee's purchase history for re-download purposes.
The authentication process for corporate apps has also been simplified. Using Enterprise Single Sign-on (SSO), you now only need to enter your user credentials once and will automatically be used across apps.


Exceptional War Hammer is a Weapon in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire. Weapons are used to deal damage to enemies and have a fixed chance to Hit, Graze or Miss. This chance can be increased by other factors, but all Weapons have the same inherent chance to strike.
War hammers have the tactical flexibility of a morning star in a much smaller size. By switching from the flat side of the head to the pick, wielders can adapt their damage type to the opponents they are facing.

Killer Breeders Crown numbers, stats and oddities
by Bob Heyden
Tonight at Pocono: 45 pacers 51 trotters, 13 that have won over 50 per cent of their career starts, 20 that are trained by a Swedish born trainer, 12 by a female conditioner and there are three 2018 maidens on the card — Nutcracker Sweet, Caprice Hill and Frost Damage Blues
Landing a Crown?
If Tactical Landing wins the Breeders Crown, he will be the most expensive yearling ever sold at auction to become a Crown winner. The $800,000 yearling is already the highest-priced winner of a Hambletonian elimination.
Atlanta, deja vu
Atlanta was second in her Hambletonian elim by a neck beaten in record time for a Hambletonian elim (1:50.1), yet she won the Hambletonian final by a length. Flash forward two months and she was second in her Kentucky Filly Futurity by a neck beaten in record-equalling time (1:49.4) and then she won the Kentucky Filly Futurity final by a length.
Can the world-record maker win first Crown?
Ake Svanstedt holds both world records for sophomores as we head into the Breeders Crown — 1:49.4 for Plunge Blue Chip and 1:49.1 for Six Pack; both by Muscle Mass. Svanstedt is looking for that first Crown trophy.
New Zealand's year
The two best Down Under breds from New Zealand racing in the same year? It sure looks that way with Shartin N and Lazarus N. Can one of that pair break through to bring the Breeders Crown back home?
October 29, two days after the Breeders Crown finals, it'll be seven years since Sweet Lou's 1:49 world record for freshman was established. Amazing how long that has stood. It took a daughter of his to be the first to eclipse it. (1:48.3).
McWicked feat
McWicked is looking to do what only one horse (a trotter) has done prior — win the Breeders Crown four years apart! Wesgate Crown did it in 1993 and 1997 at ages 2 and 6. McWicked, the sophomore winner from 2014, will try and duplicate at ages 3 and 7. McWicked is also the first horse to have million-dollar seasons four years apart with none in between.
Speaking of McWicked, back in 2014 he was the division winner 128 votes to 15 over Always B Miki. Who would have guessed that they would later record the two fastest race miles of all time 1:46 for Always B Miki and 1:46.2 for McWicked, both at Red Mile?
Yannick Gingras began his Breeders Crown career with just one win in his first 34 attempts. David Miller had just six Crown wins in his first 66 attempts.
Who says there's no value At Sears?
In 2004, Rocknroll Hanover, driven by Brian Sears won the Metro with the first sub-1:50 win for a freshman, lighting up the board at 31-1 in the process. Fourteen years later, Sears lit up the board again with $62.20 winner Cruzado Dela Noche in the Yonkers International Trot.
Back at Pocono
In 2013, there was a certain theme to be followed while wagering — all 12 of the Breeders Crown finals — the entire card — went to a driver who finished that year in the top five in money earnings.
Bartlett's year?
In 2017, Jason Bartlett was the first driver to $10 million. In 2018, he was the most recent driver to $100 million.
Hail to the Duke
Remember when Duke Of York won the 2001 Breeders Crown at $71.30 as the prohibitive favorite Andover Hall suffered his first career defeat?
Hall of a year
Cantab Hall dominated at 2, culminating in a Breeders Crown in 2003. Now his sons dominate the same 2-year-old Breeders Crown division with regularity, and he'll look to keep it going in 2018, as his standout son Father Patrick will be among those sires he'll be contending with.
Will it be Tetrick's $200 million crowning?
Tim Tetrick is 36 and is on the verge of $200 million, a number he'll very likely reach in this year's Crown. John Campbell became the first ever driver to reach $100 million in the 1991 Breeders Crown with Armbro Keepsake. He was 36 also. Oh, and speaking of their mid-30s, Ron Pierce (1991) and Brian Sears (2003) both won their initial Breeders Crowns at age 35.
World champ supplements
Homicide Hunter, the new world record setting trotter, was one of four supplemental entrants in 2017 to the Crown — along with Funknwaffles, Sintra and International Moni.
Half of the 12 Breeders Crown winners in 2016 were homebreds.
What a difference a year makes
In 2012, I Luv The Nitelife, Captaintreacherous and Bee A Magician all tasted defeat as freshmen in the Breeders Crown at Woodbine.
In 2013, not only did all three win their Breeders Crown divisions as sophomores, they emerged from that night with a composite mark of 40-for-42 on the year, just two losses between the three of them — or one less than they had from that one fateful freshman Crown night just a year earlier.
A decade on…
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the only time Somebeachsomewhere and Muscle Hill competed on the same program. It came during Breeders Crown Night at the Meadowlands in November of 2008. They both won and they both would go on to 20-for-21 careers with a HOY title, a world race record and a Hall Of Fame statue.
HOY musings
Thirty-two times a trotter has been named Horse of the Year. Thirty-nine times it has been a pacer. Of those 32 trotters, not a single one was ever sired by a trotter who himself was Horse of the Year. That could end with Manchego or Ariana G — second and third a year back, as their sire Muscle Hill was the 2009 HOY.
Odd stat
Odd stat of 2017 worth revisiting. The top 5 finishers from the 2017 Hambletonian were not in the Breeders Crown. The bottom five were.
Bombs away in 2015
Finally, over half (51.3 per cent) of the 2015 Breeders Crown finalists were over 30-1. What will 2018 serve up for the bettors, especially with the 15 per cent takeout on all wagers, which is a very good idea and the powers that be should be commended for their intuition on this one.

Alfred Tristram Lawrence, 1st Baron Trevethin, PC (24 November 1843 – 3 August 1936) was a British lawyer and judge. He served as Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales from 1921 to 1922. He is best remembered for the questionable manner in which he became Lord Chief Justice, under a plan devised by David Lloyd George.

Biography
Lawrence was the eldest son of David Lawrence, a surgeon, of Pontypool, Monmouthshire, and Elizabeth, daughter of Charles Morgan Williams. He had originally intended to follow his father into medicine, but became interested in law after witnessing a property case in which his family had an interest.

He was educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he took a First in Law, and was called to the Bar, Middle Temple, in 1869. He established a successful legal practice although he did not become a Queen's Counsel until 1897, when he was 54. Lawrence was recorder for the Royal Borough of Windsor from 1885 to 1904, when he was appointed a Judge of the High Court of Justice (King's Bench Division) and knighted. He was styled Mr Justice A.T. Lawrence.

In 1912, he established the legality of the football league's retain-and-transfer system with his judgement in the Kingaby case. Former Aston Villa player Herbert Kingaby had brought legal proceedings against his old club for preventing him from playing. Erroneous strategy by Kingaby's counsel resulted in the suit being dismissed.

Lord Chief Justice
In 1921, the Earl of Reading, the Lord Chief Justice, was appointed Viceroy of India. There existed a convention that the Attorney-General had the right of reverter to the post if a vacancy arose but David Lloyd George was unwilling to part with the services of Sir Gordon Hewart. Hewart, on the other hand, had long desired the post, and had turned down offers to become Chief Secretary for Ireland and Home Secretary to preserve his rights. A compromise was struck that a stop-gap Lord Chief Justice would be appointed until Lloyd George could dispense with his services.

Both Lawrence and Mr Justice Darling competed for the post; Darling went so far as to write to Lloyd George to ask for the post. In the end, Lawrence was chosen, and in April 1921, aged 77, he was made Lord Chief Justice of England. He was sworn of the Privy Council at the same time and in August of the same year he was raised to the peerage as Baron Trevethin, of Blaengawney in the County of Monmouth. On his appointment, Lawrence gave Lloyd George a signed but undated letter of resignation.

The arrangement caused much controversy. The judges were so incensed that they refused to attend Lord Reading's farewell ceremony. Lord Birkenhead, the Lord Chancellor, complained that the plan was illegal and "would make the Lord Chief Justice a transient figure subject to removal at the will of the government of the day and the creature of political exigency". Darling, who had written to Lloyd George to ask for the appointment "even for ten minutes", was said to have remarked that he supposed he was not old enough (Darling was then aged 71).

Lawrence remained Lord Chief Justice until March 1922, when he resigned, to be succeeded by Hewart. He reputedly learned of his "resignation" when reading a newspaper on a train to London on his way to court. By the time he resigned, it was said that he was so deaf that he could no longer follow cases properly.

Later years and family
Lord Trevethin died in August 1936, aged 92. A keen angler in later life, he suffered a seizure while fishing in the River Wye above Builth Wells, fell in and drowned before he was taken out of the water. He was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium.

Lord Trevethin married his cousin Jessie Elizabeth, daughter of George Lawrence, in 1875. They had a daughter and four sons, of whom the eldest, Hon. Alfred Clive Lawrence, predeceased his father. He was succeeded in the barony by his second son Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Trevor Lawrence. His third son Hon. Geoffrey Lawrence also became a noted lawyer and was himself raised to the peerage as Baron Oaksey, before succeeding his elder brother in the barony of Trevethin in 1959.

Q: Bootstrap Multiselect check select all is ticked on a button click I am using bootstrap multiselect plugin on a multiselect list and on  a button click event i have to make an ajax call.
I can see from documentation of plugin that the  event  onSelectAll helps to detects the time user press select all option
 http://davidstutz.github.io/bootstrap-multiselect/#configuration-options-onSelectAll

But is it possible to check the same on a button click event too
 . My multiselect initialization is like below
     $(function () {
        $("#SelectedListA").multiselect({
            enableCaseInsensitiveFiltering: true,
            includeSelectAllOption: true
        });

    });

And the event for button click is like
   $("#btn_loadSchools").click(function(){

            var all_selected= ???  //any way to detect whether all items are selected or not
            FillDropdownSchools(all_selected,$('#SelectedListA').val());
        });

    var FillDropdown2 = function (all_selected,selectedItems) {
    }

A: Define a global variable for this "all selected" state.
Then using the onSelectAll handler, set a true to it.
And using the onChange handler, set it to false.
Now, in your click handler for the button, just check this variable.

var allSelected = false;

$('#example-onSelectAll').multiselect({
  includeSelectAllOption: true,
  onSelectAll: function(){
    allSelected = true;
  },
  onChange: function(){
    allSelected = false;
  }
});

$("#btn_loadSchools").click(function(){
  if(allSelected){
    alert("Yes!");
  }else{
    alert("No.");
  }
});

President Trump reportedly ordered the top White House lawyer to prevent Attorney General Jeff Sessions from recusing himself in the Russia investigation.
The lawyer, Donald McGahn, tried to convince Sessions to oversee the probe but Sessions rescused himself — causing Trump to "erupt in anger," according to The New York Times.
While lecturing his staff, Trump even referenced infamous fixer and assistant of Senator Joseph McCarthy.
"Where's my Roy Cohn?" Trump reportedly said.
The investigation was, at the time, looking into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Sessions, a member of the Trump campaign, was under pressure to step aside from overseeing any investigation because of an apparent conflict of interest.
The president said he had expected Sessions to safeguard him from any investigations, the Times said.
The newly revealed information is known by Robert Mueller, the special counsel now in charge of the Russia investigation.


When it comes to Florida landscape color, orange crushes it. Orange is one of those "look at me" colors that can sculpt a landscape in a deliberate way. You can use it to frame a seating area, cozy up a large space or draw guests to your grilling area (orange stimulates the appetite, too). As a warm and energetic color, orange moves the eye forward but can be overpowering, so watch out for orange overload. Here are five oranges ArtisTree has a crush on, ranging from sizzling to staple specimens we promise won't disappoint.
Orange Geiger Tree: If you're looking for a stunning coastal tree that's salt- and drought-tolerant, the Orange Geiger is a brilliant choice. Bright crinkly blossoms appear year round but especially in spring and summer. We like a simple strong trunk vs. multi-trunk specimens. Frothy frills come in yellow and white, but hummingbirds prefer tasty orange. Geigers thrive in sandy, alkaline soil but hate the cold (we prefer not to spec them inland). These evergreen sun lovers will grow to 25 feet and grace you with a showy, 20-foot-wide canopy.
Ixora: A few years ago the ubiquitous ixora fell a bit out of favor because it was viewed as old-fashioned. (Seriously?) But this dependable, nearly year-round bloomer remains an old-school-cool choice for both informal and manicured landscapes. Two of our zestiest favorites are Maui and Prince of Orange – both lush flowering shrubs that are moderately drought- and salt-tolerant. They don't mind partial shade but produce more clusters when the sun's shining down on their dark, leathery leaves. Easy care with a punchy attitude, ixora is something you'll want more of.
Bulbine: We love these tiny dancers with their polka dots of orange twirling on two-foot stalks. Not until 2006, when it was named plant of the year by the Florida Nursery Growers and Landscape Association, did bulbine gain its well-deserved place in the sunlight. This drought-tolerant perennial with yellow stamens will bloom repeatedly for you as a mass planting, rock garden accent or even as a jolt of color in your herb garden. Take care not to overwater, and ready yourself for butterflies and hummingbirds that also love Florida landscape color!
Firebush: If you like a soft, natural look, this South Florida native is a sure-fire way to light up a landscape. Its organic form (we cringe when we see it sheared tight) makes it a great selection for a casual hedge or privacy screen. Tubular reddish-orange flowers bloom all the way up to 15 feet but can be pruned to your space – against high fences, window walls or around patios. True to its name, the indestructible firebush can take the heat; it's drought/salt-tolerant and disease-resistant, too. Give it full sun and well-drained soil, and it'll give you back a bud load of Florida landscape color.
Bird of Paradise: No wonder Florida residents can't get enough of this exotic specimen. Striking orange and blue "plumage" makes it look like a bird in flight; in fact, its nickname is the crane plant. Although it grows in full sun, it likes a little shade and well-drained soil. Orange birds expect you to feed them with a good granular fertilizer and regular irrigation, but other than that, there's not much to do except remove brown leaves and stems. ArtisTree likes BOPs best when used as a dramatic focal point or tropical accent. By the way, these birds will come through for you with flying colors when planted in containers, too.

Coronary Heart Disease ( CHD) is a global phenomenon. It is now becoming a major health problem even in the developing countries. Till today, the cause of coronary heart disease remains an enigma. It is also increasingly understood that the fear and panic of the disease are more ravaging than the disease itself. The tell-tale predisposing factors are : heredity, high blood pressure, diabetes, high serum cholesterol and smoking. The way of living and the way of feeling appear to be quite an important factor in its increasing incidence. Of late, various experiments conducted in the United States and European countries have shown that the impact of this disease could be reduced considerably by paying attention to this crucial factor of modern way of living and feeling.
A young Cardiologist of San Francisco, U.S.A. Dr. Dean Ornish has been conducting a program of strict vegetarian low fat diet, modest exercise, progressive deep relaxation ( shavasana), meditation ( which has developed the participants to change their life style ), group discussion and the sharing of feelings. This program has shown considerable subjective and objective improvement in forty participants with severe coronary heat disease, over a period of four years. Encouraged by this favourable results, we decided to investigate the benefit of this unique non-drug approach in our set up. We launched such program on 2nd October 1991.
A holistic approach accommodating all the measures, drug or non-drug of whatever discipline ( whether allopathy, homeopathy, ayurved or naturopathy).
To promote research and original thinking in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of the patients of coronary heart disease.
To dispel unnecessary fear of coronary heart disease.
To simplify the treatment of coronary heart disease bearing in mind the cost effectiveness of all interventions.
All the above efforts to be made with a scientific temper withour prejudice to the widely accepted current methods of treatment and prevention.
During the short span of 12 months, since we started this program , we have quite an encouraging feed-back from our participants in their feeling of well- being and improvement in objective assessment of their cardiovascular status by simple methods like weight, BP/Pulse measurements, resting and exercise ECGs and reduction in the dose of medications. Moreover quite a few have experienced relief in other complaints like hyperacidity, chronic skin disease and arthritis. Most significantly almost all of them said that their reactions to day to day stressful events had become more balanced. A spirit of brotherliness, togetherness and connectedness has been felt by them. We conduct this program twice a week under the auspices of "UNIVERSAL HEALING " at C. N. Vidyalaya on every Tuesday and Friday between 6 and 7 p.m.
A qualified yoga teacher helps us in conducting of the program of progressive deep relaxation ( shavasan) and meditation. A very well qualified dietician guides the participants regarding proper diet and gives individual advice considering dietetic habits of the family. A devoted batch of volunteers coming from different walks of life help the cause of Universal Healing.
This program does not claim to be a panacea. Not is it against the conventional approach in dealing with the patients of CHD, including angioplasty and CABG. It is a modest endeavour to assist all the efforts to contain this deadly foe of mankind.
We do feel that such a program has a place in the vast arena of various methods in dealing with the hitherto unsolved problem of CHD. We ourselves are studying the impact of the program with an open mind. WE welcome suggestions and co-operation from one and all.

Our aim is to establish normal circulation in the coronary arteries by reversing the process of atherosclerosis. The present medical approach is to dilate the arteries and increase blood flow to the narrowed arteries and diminish the need of oxygeneted blood by the heart muscle with the help of medicines. The surgical approach is by passing narrowed arteries or dilating them by inflating a balloon inserted in the narrowed artery. These do not bring about permanent cure. The by-pass surgery tends to be a palliative measure, bypassing the problem.
The occurrence of heart attack is a dynamic process. All of a sudden the narrowed arteries become further narrow due to spasm and blood flowing through the artery becomes thick due to increase in viscocity of blood and the clumping of platelets. This is usually the result of extreme sympathetic activity following undue mental stress due to physical and mental exhaustion. A heavy meal, alcohol and smoking aggravate the arterial spasm and clotting of blood. The practice of shavasana, meditation and change in food habits with the avoidance of alcohol and smoking blunt the edge ofthe above mentioned harmful reactions and save the patient from the heart attack.
Diet low in fat ( 10% of total calories derived from fat) with modest exercise like walking on level for 30 minutes, progressive deep relaxation ( shavasan), and meditation bring about the reversal of atherosclerosis in coronary arteries, i.e. fatlike deposits in the walls of the coronary arteries dissolve, and he obstructed arteries become wide once again. This is an all round beneficial effect on coronary heart disease. The program not only heals the coronary disease but also heals the person as a whole.
It is difficult to quieten the mind even for six seconds. It is estimated that out of 16 hours of waking time, hardly for an hour and a half, we live in the present. Most of the time our awareness is in the past or in the future. Meditation helps us to stay in the present.
The technique of meditation diminishes the need of oxygen by the heart muscle. It has been estimated that within only three minutes of meditation, 20% of oxygen consumption is reduced as against only 8% reduction in oxygen consumption after six hours of good sleep.
Meditation brings our awareness in the present by focussing on the process of breathing or some sound, like Om.
Meditation slows down the rate of entropy - in other words wear and tear are reduced resulting in better health and longevity.
In order to meditate we need to relax mentally. To relax the mind,we need to relax the body. And to relax the body, light stretching exercises are necessary. Progressive deep relaxation , i.e., shavasan performed in this manner brings about a relaxed state of mind which prepares the individual for meditation.
The technique of meditation is simple. You sit down in a relaxed manner. Close your eyes and simply watch the inhaling and exhaling of your breathe. Thoughts may come and go, but you remain unconcerned. Breathe is life. When you are breathing, it is not only air that you breathe in, you breathe in light and life force also. Thus your consciousness becomes one with your breath and life force, and healing follows.
Meditation motivates the individual to adopt a healthy life style. It helped the participation in Dr. Dean Ornish�s program to become strict vegetarians and teetotaler.
Dr. Dean Ornish has also noted that selfless benevolent work opens the arteries whereas self-centredness, hostility and cynicism are toxic to the heart. They constrict the arteries.
In a study of 46 patients of coronary heart disease, divided into two groups of 23 each, all 46 patients are given the same medical advice and treatment. One group of 23 patients was taught stress management which consisted of shavasan, meditation and visualization. The results of a twenty four day study revealed a significant difference in the clinical improvement between the two groups. The group which was taught the stress management technique showed much greater improvement shown by increase in work performance by 55% due to improvement in the left ventricular function. There was 20% fall in cholesterol level and 90% reduction in the frequency of anginal attack.
The electrical activity is continuously generated from the brain throughout life. From the front part of the brain beta waves are seen on electroencephalogram. Shavasan and meditation bring about the alpha activity which promotes healing through secretion of health-giving hormones throughout the body.
Our greatest limitation comes from our perception, that we are individuals limited in space and time. During meditation one experience that one is eternal and boundless. Feelings of connectedness with the universe and wisdom dawn on the individual. This whole experience helps in healing in toto.
Doctor�s faith in himself to cure his patient.
Doctor�s Karma - his skill and its application with love."


This was our day to drive to Bruny Island from Mt Field National Park and we also had time to visit the Styx Valley in the morning.
Looking up at a Eucalyptus Regnans.
They are amongst the tallest trees in the world and can grow to 100 metres (330 feet), second only to the redwood.
Is it a tree root or a sculpture?
This is the River Styx. It was so named from the amount of tannin in the river, sometimes rendering it almost black, and thereby conjuring up an image of the river of the dead.
Hades lies on the other side and the dead must carry a coin to give to Charon, the boatman, so he will carry them to the other side.
Those who die and do not have the proper coin are condemned to wander the banks of the river. I did not see any on this day though.
The Styx is also the river that Thetis dipped Achilles in by his heel to render him invulnerable, except as it turned out, for his heel. I didn't think to strip off and jump in while I was there.
This is probably back out on the main road to the Gordon Dam. I had hoped to get to a lookout over Lake Gordon and Lake Pedder or even visit Lake Pedder but we had a ferry to catch and were starting to run out of time.
We did visit the Creepy Crawley Nature trail, though. This is a short trail through rainforest where you have to clamber round and under branches over the boardwalk. It was difficult to get any images due to extreme contrast in the lighting, which reminded me again how fortunate I was not to encounter "good" weather on the Overland Track.

Slovaks Abroad
How to learn?
In this chapter we will give suggestions on how to spend a holiday in Slovakia, so that you have an unforgettable experience and learn more about the splendid nature of this country, its people, and its culture.
There are many places worth seeing in Slovakia, and of course we can only offer you a small selection. For further details visit this website.
Castles and manor houses
Slovakia is a country rich in different fortifications and castles. Many were entered into the List of World Cultural and Natural Heritage of UNESCO, including Spiš Castle, which is one of the largest castle complexes in Central Europe. The most beautiful castle in the Small Carpathians is Červený kameň. On the other hand, Devín Castle gives us a tangible link with the Slovak nation's most distant history.
In spite of efforts to reconstruct as many castles as possible, many are ruins. One response to this situation was the establishment of Miniature Park in Podolie, whose owners decided to create scaled-down models of Slovak castles, as they appeared at their peak.
For further details on Slovak castles visit this website.
Slovakia ranks among the countries richest in karst formations, with 7014 known caves on the 31th of December 2014. They are mostly concentrated in the Slovenský kras and many are known throughout Europe and the world. Forty-four caves and chasms in Slovakia have been declared national natural monuments. Twelve caves are accessible to the public, five are accessible to tourists and 30 more are freely accessible. Caves allow us to embark on an interesting journey to beauty and knowledge. Many caves are also used for the treatment of respiratory diseases, known as speleotherapy.
The longest cave system in Slovakia is in the Žilina region; its underground spaces extend for 24 km. Of nine caves, two are open to the public - the Demänovská ice cave and the Cave of Freedom, which is the most visited cave in Slovakia.
For further details visit this website.
Outdoor museums
If you want to know how people lived in Slovakia in the past, don't miss the opportunity to visit an outdoor museum. Outdoor museums preserve and display extraordinary works of original architecture of all sorts.
The largest outdoor museum in Slovakia is the Museum of the Slovak Village in Martin. Others are situated in Banská Štiavnica, Bardejovské Kúpele, Nitra, Zuberec – Museum of Orava Village, Vychylovka – Museum of Kysuce Village, Pribylina, Svidník, Humenné, and other municipalities.
You can learn more about the lives of our predecessors in the villages of Vlkolínec and Čičmany. In 1977, the lower side of Čičmany was declared a conservation area to prevent the destruction of rare buildings. It has 110 buildings, of which 37 are national cultural monuments.
The settlement of Vlkolínec is part of the city of Ružomberok. It is a conservation area for folk architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It represents a type of rural medieval settlement with the wooden architecture characteristic of mountain and foothill regions.

Tourism in the mountains
Whether in summer or winter, the Slovak mountains always offer many ways to spend your holidays.
The most important tourist destination is the High Tatra mountains. It is the highest Slovak mountain chain, and home to many rare animal and plant species. In the High Tatra mountains there are three main resorts - Štrbské Pleso, Tatranská Lomnica and Starý Smokovec.
The Low Tatra mountains are the second highest mountain chain in Slovakia and a sought-after resort throughout the year. Tourists are particularly attracted by Kráľova hoľa, a celebrated mountain that is shrouded with many legends.
Thanks to its natural beauty, Slovenský raj is regarded as one of the most beautiful natural areas in Slovakia. It is characterised by rugged topography, with gorges, streams with waterfalls and karst formations that are made accessible to the public by footpaths, and over more difficult terrain with chains and ladders. The gorges and gullies of Slovenský raj hide a large number of waterfalls - from small ones to to others that are dozens of metres high.
Thermal pools
A welcome supplement to an active holiday is to relax in numerous Slovak thermal pools. In the Bešeňová or Aquapark Tatralandia thermal resorts, you can relax and have a good time year round, and sample the healing power of hot springs.
Another popular tourist destination is the thermal pool of Podhájska, which has unique geothermal healing water with a mineral composition similar to that of the Dead Sea. Additional thermal pools with healing water can be found in Nové Zámky, Komárno, Veľký Meder, Rajecké Teplice and other cities.

Te Aratāwhao was a Māori waka constructed by early Māori settlers in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. The craft was purpose-built to supply kumara from Hawaiki to New Zealand. Captained by Tama-ki-hikurangi, Te Aratāwhao withstood the journey from Whakatane to Hawaiki. However, Te Aratāwhao and her captain remained in Hawaiki, while the crew returned to New Zealand with the supplies in another canoe, the Mataatua.

1914—The Generation That Will Not Pass Away
A Time to Keep Awake
● Your publications point out that the battle of Armageddon will come in this generation, and that this generation began A.D. 1914. Scripturally, how long is a generation?—G. P., Liberia.
Webster's unabridged dictionary gives, in part, this definition of generation: "The average lifetime of man, or the ordinary period of time at which one rank follows another, or father is succeeded by child; an age. A generation is usually taken to be about 33 years." But the Bible is not so specific. It gives no number of years for a generation. And in Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30 and Luke 21:32, the texts mentioning the generation the question refers to, we are not to take generation as meaning the average time for one generation to be succeeded by the next, as Webster's does in its 33-year approximation; but rather more like Webster's first-quoted definition, "the average lifetime of man." Three or even four generations may be living at the same time, their lives overlapping. (Ps. 78:4; 145:4) Before the Noachian flood the life span was hundreds of years. Down through the centuries since, it has varied, and even now is different in different countries. The Bible does speak of a man's days as being threescore and ten or fourscore years; but it assigns no specific number of years to a generation.—Ps. 90:10.
Even if it did, we could not calculate from such a figure the date of Armageddon, for the texts here under discussion do not say God's battle comes right at the end of this generation, but before its end. To try to say how many years before its end would be speculative. The texts merely set a limit that is sufficiently definite for all present practical purposes. Some persons living A.D. 1914 when the series of foretold events began will also be living when the series ends with Armageddon. All the events will come within the span of a generation. There are hundreds of millions of persons living now that were living in 1914, and many millions of these persons could yet live a score or more years. Just when the lives of the majority of them will be cut short by Armageddon we cannot say.
● Deuteronomy 21:10-13 shows that Israelite men could marry foreign captive women, yet other texts forbid intermarriage with foreigners. Is this not contradictory?—M. H., Pennsylvania.
Jehovah gives the reason for the general prohibition concerning foreign wives, as follows: "They would turn your sons from following me to serving alien gods." Also divine warning was sounded against "marrying your sons to their daughters, who will desert to their gods and make your sons desert also". (Ex. 34:16, Mo; Deut. 7:4, AT) The prohibition was based on no racial prejudice nor any nationalistic grounds, but it was solely for the purpose of protecting the Israelites from religious contamination. It was to avoid contacts that might jeopardize the purity of worship rendered to Jehovah.
But notice how the special circumstances involved in the case discussed at Deuteronomy 21:10-13 eliminate this danger of contamination: "When thou shalt go forth to war against thine enemies, and Yahweh thy God shall deliver them into thy hand and thou shalt take them captive; and shalt see among the captives a woman of beautiful figure, and shalt have a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thee to wife, then shalt thou bring her into the midst of thy house, and she shall shave her head and pare her nails; and put away the raiment of her captivity from off her and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother for the space of a month, and after that mayest thou go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife."—Ro.
She cut off her hair, which was the usual sign of mourning. (Job 1:20; Isa. 15:2; Jer. 7:29; Amos 8:10; Mic. 1:16) She either cut her nails close, which would remove this means of adornment, since they were stained to be attractive; or she let them grow to become unkept, without their usual manicured attractiveness. (Deut. 21:12, Knox; Le) She put off the raiment in which she was taken captive, since the women of defeated forces put on their finest dresses and ornaments in the hope of finding favor in the eyes of their captors. For a month she was in mourning, bewailing the loss of her loved ones, thus possibly indicating the thoroughness of the war's destructiveness at the time of her capture. The captive women were possibly the only survivors, and the heathen gods were doubtless destroyed by the Israelite warriors. So no ties were left with the pagan nation, either socially or religiously. There were no heathen in-laws for the Israelite man to mix in with.
Hence to marry a foreign woman so completely severed from connection with false gods and false worshipers was permissible. It was quite different from marrying a foreign woman not a captive whose relatives were living, whose religious gods were still worshiped by her family, who would from time to time have some contact with her heathen relatives and their gods, and who might bring her Israelite husband into contact with them also, thereby exposing his pure worship to contamination. So it was the special circumstances of Deuteronomy 21:10-13 that allowed for an exception to the general prohibition of intermarriage with foreign women.
Let your utterance be always with graciousness, seasoned with salt, so as to know how you ought to give an answer to each one.—Col. 4:6, NW.

The new Rs500 still has the king's portrait as watermark because the paper was ordered from an Indonesian manufacturer before April 2006 when the monarchy fell out of favor. Because the impoverished Himalayan country could not afford new paper, bank officials chose instead to obscure the king's image by printing a rhododendron over the watermark.
500 rupees (US$7.85), ND (2007). Issued 27.09.2007. Tan, brown, purple, red, and green. Mount Everest at left, national flower rhododendron at right over wmk of King Gyanendra.

On 8 August 2007, Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain asked a National Assembly standing committee to probe and report within a month on why the new 1,000-rupee note (B238a) carries an imprint of the national flag in lilac (like the Turkish flag) rather than green, and why packs of note are now bound with a paper band and not stapled as was the past norm.
The State Bank of Pakistan explained that the Pakistani flag does not appear on any SBP notes (the flag has a white band to the left of the field of green); the crescent and five-pointed star is merely a security feature printed with optical variable ink (OVI) that changes color from magenta to green when the note is tilted. Furthermore, the SBP pointed out that bundling notes is the international standard and the practice of stapling notes has been halted in an effort to increase the longevity of the nation's notes.
20 lats (US$39.10), 2007. Like Pick 51, but new date, new signature (Rimsevics, Governor), and wider windowed security thread on back.

Pakistan's Federal Cabinet has asked the State Bank of Pakistan to prepare a new 5-rupee note (US$0.08) for introduction to replace the old Rs5 (B229) that was withdrawn from circulation on 1 July 2005.
On 10 January 2007, the subcommittee of the National Assembly's Public Accounts Committee directed the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to change the colors and designs of the new family of banknotes, especially the Rs20 and Rs5,000 denominations.
"The identical colours, designs, and sizes [sic] of new currency notes, especially those of Rs20 and Rs5,000 denominations, are very deceptive and are creating problems for the people. The SBP should consider changing the colours and designs of these notes," said Riaz Fatiana, chairman of the subcommittee.
SBP's roll out of the new family of notes began in August 2005 with the Rs20 and is expected to be completed in 2007 with the introduction of the Rs50 and Rs1,000. The new family of notes all feature the portrait of Quaid-e-Azam in Sherwani on the front, with different structures on the back. All of the notes are 65 mm tall, but their length graduates by 8 mm per denomination, from 115 mm for the Rs10 up to 163 mm for the Rs5,000.
Banco Central de Nicaragua has replaced the 10-cordobas note (Pick 191) with a coin, and released a new series of 20-, 50-, 100-, and 500-cordobas notes. This new series is identical to the 2002 issue (Pick 192 - 195), except for the new date (10 de Marzo de 2006) and new signatures (see detail above).

To hydrate – means to replenish necessary fluids the body requires to function properly. In certain situations, hydration can mean the difference between life and death. Keeping the body hydrated when traveling, hiking, walking or performing exercise is essential for good health.
The best way to hydrate the body is to simply drink more water. For most daily activities, this water doesn't have to be loaded with sugar or extra electrolytes. It can be just plain water. Eight, 8-ounce glasses of water (just under half a gallon) daily is a good start. Many people find that once they start drinking water regularly, it becomes a good habit that's tough to break.
There's an easy way to tell if your body needs more water. Check the color of your urine. If it's a dark, apple juice shade, then it's too concentrated. Strive for clear, colorless urine as a guide that the body is getting enough water to function at its best.
Drinking water can also help you look younger! When the skin becomes dehydrated, it tends to wrinkle and sink around the face. Water plumps up the connective tissue and keeps those wrinkles out of sight.
Here are the Official Rules for this great giveaway.
