Go to [http://tank.rast.de/standorte/suche/detail.html?ID=274 Raststätte Feucht/Nürnberg] (service station). From ''Nürnberg Hbf'' (the main train station) you take the ''S-Bahn'' to ''Feucht'', where you have to walk through the whole neighbourhood out of the train station walk in direction of "parking" for cycle just after you will find a small patch following the motorway until the entrance trough the wood, at the entrance go on the other side of the road from where the car leaving the motorway are, (you can't access to the service station from the side of the entrance it's not really safe to cross the road after and anyway the cops in the police station will see you from their windows) walk to the motorway pass the first bridge and go down where there is a small stair you can then just walk between the motorway and the train line to the service station.
Take the U1/11 metro to Langwasser-Süd (southern terminus). From there, walk along Liegnitzer Strasse, and then turn right to Gleiwitzer Strasse. Total walking distance is about 2 km till u will see a bridge in 100 metres after the spot.
If you're tired or lazy, you can also start hitching at Liegnitzer/Gleiwitzer crossing, you risk to wait longer though. There's also a bus line going that way, check out the map at the U station.
When you go direction Prague, use a [[sign]] "[[Amberg]]". There will be a [[petrol station]] shortly before that city. Also note, that between Amberg and the border there is a gap, where the [[autobahn]] is unachieved. So it's not a bad idea to wait for someone going across the border at the petrol station. (Since 2009 the autobahn/motorway is finished and there is no gap in between the autobahns).

Otherwise you can go with local traffic from Amberg to the border, hitching from one motorway entrance to another.

If you were dropped in the village, instead of going back to motorway, you can take local crossing, leading to the town of [[Rozvadov]]. Once the other side, cross the town and about a km further will be a motorway entrance with a huge petrol station.

A 22-year-old Akron man has been arrested in connection with two Akron bank robberies.
He is also suspected in several other robberies in the area, Akron police said.
Darrion L. Powers was charged Tuesday with robbing the PNC Bank at 181 Massillon Road, according to a news release. Police said Powers was also charged in the Jan. 4 robbery of Huntington Bank at 1411 S. Arlington St.
In the PNC Bank robbery, police said Powers entered the bank armed with a knife and approached the teller counter around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police said he demanded money before leaping over the counter and taking money from cash drawers. Police said he placed the money in a backpack that he was wearing backward on his chest and then fled in a black Chevy Malibu.
Five adult students and one juvenile are facing criminal charges and will be disciplined by the Akron Board of Education. Edwards said all six students were charged with disorderly conduct, with four of the students also charged with rioting. No one was injured in the incident.
Akron Public Schools officials were investigating a fight that was recorded Friday in a classroom at Innes Middle School.
A video of the incident was posted on Facebook, and the mother of a 12-year-old boy seen in the footage said her son suffered a knot on his head along with bruises and scratches. She said in the post that Akron school staff should have done more to intervene.
Akron Public Schools director of marketing and communications Mark Williamson said the classroom teacher in that incident acted properly by calling the school resource officer to intervene and by calling parents. "We are conducting a thorough investigation," he said.
Medina Township trustees have offered the vacant police chief job to Medina County Sheriff's Lt. Travis Colonius, the Medina Gazette reported.
If he accepts the position, Colonius will be paid $85,000 a year, the newspaper said. The township has been looking for a new chief since David Arbogast resigned late last year.

Movie Review: Doctor Strange is just another Marvel movie
By James Shaw
Director: Scott Derrickson
Writers: Jon Spaihts, Scott Derrickson
Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Mads Mikkelsen, Tilda Swinton
Synopsis: A former neurosurgeon embarks on a journey of healing only to be drawn into the world of the mystic arts.
Doctor Strange is the newest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and honestly, this is one of Marvel's worst films to date. I am quite baffled as to why this movie is getting such rave reviews, but then I remember most critics give Marvel's movies a pass. Don't get me wrong Doctor Strange is Marvel's most mind blowing film regarding special effects and the ideologies it tackles. I just wished that the same passion went into the rest of the storyline.
After a horrible accident leaves arrogant watching the percentage Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) relatively use of his hands, he travels to Kathmandu, Nepal in search of the secret compound Kamar-Taj. Strange hopes that The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) can provide a way to help him heal his hands. Strange is then introduced to the Mystic Arts and quickly excels to become a sorcerer.
Marvel's biggest issue has been a promising villain, and Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) is not giving much screen time, and his motives are similar to other Marvel villains, so there's nothing creative here with his character. Much like Ronan in Guardians, Kaecilius is working for another huge baddie in Dormammu, which Cumberbatch did the motion capture. Kaecilius is one of the worst villains portrayed on screen, and it's no fault of Mads Mikkelsen, think he was just a filler villain for Dormammu.
Introducing Dormammu is a huge deal because he is one of the deadliest and brutal villains in the entire MCU. I hope that Marvel does not treat Dormammu the same way it has handled Thanos so far and hopefully he makes an appearance in a potential sequel, teaming up with Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) to take one Strange in the physical world.
Origin stories are a must for superhero movies, and I think in Doctor Strange we don't get that full transition to superhero without having that defining moment that causes a change in our hero or heroine. I understand Strange is a smart man but so is Tony Stark and in the first Iron Man we see why he decided to become Iron Man, we never see "that" moment that makes Strange want to be a sorcerer.
There is a lot of ground to cover in this film, and Strange is relatively unknown in comparison to Captain American and Iron Man to non-comic book fans, so maybe that is why the story seems muddled. The scenes with Christine Palmer (Rachael McAdams) and Stephen was flushed out more because to me Palmer has a way of bringing down Stephen's massive ego and I wanted more scenes with them together.
The most disappointing thing about this movie is the fighting scenes especially the big climatic battle. Aside from a struggle in the hospital the other scenes lack any innovation or creativity and leave you unsatisfied.
A superhero film that does not have a strong villain, bad fight scenes and an out of place hero would get negative reviews but only if was a DC movie. Do not be fooled by the smoke and mirrors of the dark dimension as Doctor Strange is one of Marvel's worse projects.
Overall Grade: D
James Shaw
I watch a lot of films and I make people laugh so why not make reviews comedic. My passion for film began at a young age and has never left me. Follow me on Twitter @ComedicCritic

Bottle embossed "THE SINGER MANFG CO. TRADE MARK". The bottle was for sewing machine oil.
The Singer Sewing Machine was invented by Isaac Merrit Singer, an American. According to Encyclopædia Britannica, "He developed and brought into general use the first practical domestic sewing machine. At the age of 19 Singer became an apprentice machinist, and in 1839 he patented a rock-drilling machine. Ten years later he patented a metal- and wood-carving machine. While working in a Boston machine shop in 1851, Singer was asked to repair a Lerow and Blodgett sewing machine; 11 days later he had designed and built an improved model, which he patented and sold through I.M. Singer & Company. The first to embody features allowing continuous and curved stitching, his machine employed an overhanging arm holding the needle bar over a horizontal table, thus making it possible to sew on any part of the work. His basic design features have been followed in almost all subsequent machines.
PBS's series Who Made America notes "Importantly, [Singer's] new design caused less thread breakage with the innovation of an arm-like apparatus that extended over the worktable, holding the needle at its end. It was the first practical replacement for hand-sewing, and it could sew 900 stitches per minute, a dramatic improvement over an accomplished seamstress's rate of 40 stitches a minute on simple work.
While the first Singer machines were relatively expensive and bulky, the inventor soon adopted a mass-production system of interchangeable parts, and worked to reduce the machines in size and weight. From the start, he looked past the commercial market into households, aiming to sell to housewives. After a series of refinements, Singer was able to sell his machines for $10 each, making them accessible symbols of status and self-reliance for the average American family. His partner, Edward Clark, pioneered installment purchasing plans and accepted trade-ins, causing sales to soar.
Author Richard Cavendish adds that "Lady demonstrators were hired to disprove suggestions that women were too fluffy and incompetent to work a machine and Singer's hire-purchase deals caused Scientific American to reflect in the 1850s on the curious psychological fact that customers preferred to pay $100 in monthly instalments of $5 rather than $50 outright, even though they had the money.
In New York, Singer liked to drive about in a grandiose vehicle of his own design, painted canary yellow and black, drawn by six or sometimes nine horses, with a small band playing on board. It had seats for thirty-one people, beds for the children and a water-closet. His attitude to women could be conservatively described as enthusiastic. He married for the first time at twenty-nine and after a few years left his wife and their two children for a mistress with whom he had ten more. Later he set up two more households with women by whom he had respectively one child and five.
The company vigorously developed markets abroad and by 1860 it was the world's biggest producer of sewing machines, but rows between his women folk and the prurient attentions of the press became so tiresome that Singer took refuge in Europe, where in 1863 he married his second wife, a Parisian boarding-house keeper named Isabella Boyer, by whom he would have six more children. In his early fifties, he settled in England and built Oldway House at Paignton in South Devon in majestic French Renaissance style for himself and some of his brood of twenty-four offspring – he was very fond of them all. He had always wanted to be an actor and he had his own private theatre in the house, which he called The Wigwam. He died there in 1875, aged sixty-three.

WARNING: We're about to discus the most jaw-dropping moments from this week's episode of The Walking Dead. If you do not want to be spoiled, get out of here immediately -- but avoid the junkyards! For everyone else, grab some cobbler and a box of tissues, and let's go…
The Walking Dead reunion we've all been waiting for finally happened!
On this week's all-new episode of the AMC's undead drama, Daryl managed to accomplish three amazing things during his short-lived stay at The Kingdom. First, he reunited with his kickass weapon of choice: the crossbow. Second, Daryl successfully beat the crap out of Richard, who was being a particularly royal prick.
Finally -- and most importantly! -- Daryl reunited with his longtime BFF, Carol, and suddenly our bleak, Negan-ruled world seemed to be a less frightening place.
Immediately after their tear-filled reunion, Carol invited Daryl into her new Kingdom-outskirts home to make him dinner and get the inside scoop on everything she missed since leaving Alexandria.
MORE: The Most Insane (and Gory!) 'Walking Dead' Massacre of All Time!
"Is everybody back home okay?" she asked through a fit of worried sobs. It was then that our always-honest Daryl decided to shield his friend from the brutal truth of Glenn, Abraham, Olivia and Spencer's unjust deaths.
"They came. We got them all," he lied. "Made a deal with the rest of them like Ezekiel. Everyone's alright. Everyone's alright."
The Walking Dead executive producer Greg Nicotero confessed exclusively to ET that Daryl's decision to withhold the truth is a major turning point for this season's storyline. "To me, it's fascinating that Carol doesn't know. I think that's a really important moment," Nicotero said last week in a phone interview. "When Morgan didn't realize that Glenn, Abraham, Spencer and Olivia have all died, he was still not willing to fight and wanted to find another way. Morgan upheld his promise to Carol."
We're sure that, in time, that truth will reveal itself, and we absolutely cannot wait to see that sure-to-be explosive reaction because, as we know all too well, hell hath no fury like a Carol scorned!
And speaking of exposing the truth, fans were also gifted with the real story behind Gabriel's sudden Alexandria abandonment in this week's hour.
MORE: Here's How 'The Walking Dead' Pulled Off Spencer's Gut-Wrenching Death Scene!
"I heard something when I was on watch from inside the wall," Gabriel explained to Rick. "I went into the pantry and one of them jumped me. She was angry because she didn't get the supplies from the boat after all the waiting, so they made me pack up everything else."
Nicotero dished that if fans go back and re-watch last week's mid-season premiere, they'll notice the details behind Gabriel's kidnapping that were initially missed by the casual viewer.
"A lot of people that I've talked to are like, 'What the hell is his problem? Why is he trashing the place?'" he said. "And I'd just say you need to watch again because there's a couple of little clues that we put in there that you may not notice on the first viewing."
According to Nicotero, this is a "very smart group of people" that Rick and the gang have made a deal with, and their participation in the impending war against The Saviors is key. "Rick is in recruitment mode," he said. "Nothing is going to stop him. He will do what he needs to do to recruit the people to fight alongside him."
Looking ahead, the TWD executive producer teased that we're going to finally reunite with Negan and see the cruel and unusual punishments he has for his latest Alexandrian hostage. "He has Eugene, and that's the worst person every to be taken, so there's some amazing stuff that is going to come out of that relationship," he said.
PHOTOS: 'The Walking Dead': New Pics Tease Second Half of Season 7
Nicotero added that all of our characters are currently struggling with their own emotional turmoil, and it's going to come to a "brutal and awful" head by season seven's end.
"You can see that Rosita is angry because she feels guilty about losing Eugene and not being able to kill Negan. Sasha is still pissed about losing Abraham. Aaron has been beaten up. Rick has been subjugated," he continued. "Everybody has been crutched by something that Negan has done, so now they're all at this place where they're all standing at the same starting line just trying to figure out who is going to go first."
The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC.
What did you think of tonight's reunion-filled episode of The Walking Dead? How long do you think we'll have to wait until Carol discovers the truth? Share your thoughts with @LeanneAguilera on Twitter!

Teaching kids life skills through the power of play
How one organization is teaching kids crucial life skills through the power of recess.
By: Amy Nay
Getting kids more active while at recess but also teaching crucial social skills like conflict resolution is the goal of the non-profit Playworks.
Stephen Foxley from Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah is a member of the Playworks advisory board and says it is remarkable what the program is doing for kids in our community. He says, "I think that a lot of people think that recess is just free time, but really that's when kids are learning how to socialize and interact with their peers, and those are skills that will help them for the rest of their lives."
Regence BlueCross BlueShield wants people of all ages to lead their healthiest lives possible, and getting kids more active helps with their social and emotional development.
Chris Contrad, Executive Director for Playworks Utah says,"Playworks is an organization that's committed to improving both access and quality of recess and play in our elementary schools."
Playworks has been in Utah since 2011, and is currently operating in 57 schools, serving 35 thousand Utah kids.
"We don't structure their time or their activities," says Conrad. "We don't tell any kids what they have to do. What we do is to make sure the recess environment is physically safe, emotionally safe, so that social connections can thrive."
Foxley says, "Even if your school doesn't offer Playworks, there are ways for parents to utilize those resources to improve the way their kids are playing at home or with their friends outside of school."
Visit playworks.org to find out more about the program, along with free resources for parents and educators.

Startup PHX Challenge announces winner
Chloe Nordquist
Startup PHX Challenge, as part of Phoenix Startup Week, had over 100 companies compete to win six months of free office space in the Monroe Building located in downtown Phoenix.
In the end, Allbound, a SaaS sales and marketing software startup, won the space with neighbors such as UBER, Inspire Data Solutions and Cannon Design.
Each of the applicants had to submit a business overview online, and then some were chosen for phone interviews.
Scott Salkin
"We couldn't be happier to be moving to downtown Phoenix. With ASU and UA, the light rail, more and more technology companies, and a growing entertainment and restaurant district, it'll be great for our culture, our recruiting and our customers," Founder and CEO of Allbound Scott Salkin said.
Every dollar counts for a startup, "It saves us probably around $30,000," Salkin continued.
READ: Allbound secures $200K bringing jobs to AZ
Allbound's subscription model is built to extend the power of partnerships from startups to Fortune 500's. The cloud-based SaaS platform has raised $200,000 in seed funding.
"They are a wonderful addition to the growing number of transformative startups in downtown Phoenix," Phoenix City Councilman Daniel Valenzuela said. "Innovators and entrepreneurs like Allbound are the economic engine that will drive our economy into the 21st century."
The prize includes a fully-furnished 1,200 square foot, 12th floor office space with office furniture.
"We were looking to award free office space to the startup that would benefit the most and contribute significantly in accelerating the firm to the next level," Tim O'Neill, part of the ownership group behind 111 W. Monroe, said. "Our selection panel was thoroughly impressed by Allbound's business plan, momentum, and early success."
Allbound was founded in July 2014 by Scott Salkin and Kyle Burnett. The company was in North Scottsdale prior to the move. Allbound currently has a staff of seven, but is hiring for four to five different positions.
The locally-owned Monroe Building has become a big spot for the growing entrepreneurial ecosystem, attracting tech, design, and culinary arts companies.
"It was a big move for us, going to a completely different area of the Valley, but we've loved it so far," Salkin said. "The plan is to stay down here."

The UFC has always been the world's premier MMA organization and fighters work, grind and dream to one day have the opportunity to grace the Octagon to hone their craft. The problem is, as with most dreams, getting there is very difficult.
Scott Heckman is the reigning, defending Maverick MMA featherweight champion. With 35 professional fights under his belt, including a current seven-fight winning streak, "The Animal" is ready for his opportunity to get one step closer to reaching the pinnacle that is the UFC.
Following a victory over Ruben Warr at X Fights 2 in June 2016, Heckman announced his retirement from mixed martial arts. With family, construction of his home, and the sometimes shady business that MMA can bring on a regional level, Heckman had enough — at least, for a little while. Fast forward about eight months later, Heckman would return to the sport he fell in love with and signed a deal with Maverick MMA. After back-to-back victories to kick off his next chapter, Heckman would capture the organization's featherweight title with a hard fought split-decision victory over Robert Sullivan at September's Maverick MMA 3 event. Since then, he has gone on to defend that title three times over a five month span.
Heckman is one of the most active and reliable fighters you will find, competing in all seven Maverick MMA events since April 2017. The next step for the 34-year-old is a shot at the UFC, whether it be a short notice call-up, or on Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. The second season of DWTNCS is scheduled to kick off on June 12 and will feature some of the best fighters outside of the UFC, from regional champions to a couple of big names in MMA, as well as the sports world — Greg Hardy and Nick Newell.
Newell, who also came back from retirement with a victory at LFA 35, is still without an opponent for his appearance on July 24. Heckman, with nothing but respect for "Notorious" would be more than happy to fulfill that dreaded "TBD" spot on the card, even if it means jumping up a weight class.
Heckman, according to Tapology, is the fifth ranked featherweight in the Northeast and has competed for the likes of Bellator and CFFC. "The Animal" also holds a victory over UFC bantamweight contender Brian Kelleher back at CFFC 27 in September 2017. Despite the current streak he has been on, Heckman says there has been no contact from the UFC brass to date.
"Not me, personally," Heckman said. "That's what we're hoping for. We have Andy Main, he's my coach and he's trying to get me out there. He's doing his part to try to get me out there to the next level. Dana White, Sean Shelby, anyone connected with the Contender Series, or the UFC? No, I haven't talked to them directly.
With fights falling out at a undesirable pace for the UFC over the last few years, one thing the organization would be looking for, one would assume, is a fighter who is incredibly active and durable.
One thing we can learn from Scott Heckman is that he is a fighter who loves to compete. The man wants an opportunity to prove to the world that he is exactly that. He is not one to beg, or be desperate, for that phone to ring. Heckman just wants to let the UFC and their decision makers know that if that call happens to come, he'll be there.

Much like shatter, wax is a concentrate of cannabis flower. Instead of the hard, glassy appearance of shatter, wax features more of a soft look and feel. The softness makes it much easier to dab than shatter. This makes it preferable for many people, especially less experienced cannabis concentrate consumers, because it is easier to place on a tool. The consistency can vary slightly, from being very smooth and buttery or being more of a crumble.
Shatter gets its name because of its glassy look and its brittle nature. This gives it the appearance of hard candy. Because of shatter's molecular composition, it's more stable than wax. Part of cannabis is the visual appeal, and shatter is pleasantly aesthetic. Upon vaporization, shatter hits the lungs hard. Consumers love this because the intense smoking experience carries with it the promise of a powerful effect.
Shatter is just one form of dabs, the catch-all term for marijuana concentrates produced by extracting cannabinoids like THC and CBD, the plant's psychoactive chemicals. Shatter is mostly golden and honey-like.
Shatter is a manipulated, stable, translucent extract. Don't be fooled by this fragile concentrate, what it lacks in durability it makes up for in potency.
Unlike shatter, whip wax is manipulated to create a crumbly, waxy substance. This type of concentrate is also known as pie crust, ear wax, budder, and crumble.

This cannabis concentrate is derived from a thin-film distillation process, which is why it's known as Distillate. Distillate is produced by taking a cannabis concentrate and applying precisely controlled heat and pressure to extract individual cannabinoids and terpenes. The distillation process is repeated until the concentrate is refined and pure. The final product is an almost translucent compound with an extremely high potency that ranges from 75-95% THC.
Live Diamonds: live diamonds are allowed to sit at a contained low temperature for a very long period of time, causing large formations of THCA crystals, which expel terpene "sauce", to grow.
Distillate this refined can't be paired with just any hardware. The ceramic technology used in our vaporizer cartridges is second to none – yielding consistent flavor & vapor production with every draw. The CSC cartridges are free of any cutting agents such as PG, PEG, VG & MCT.

This creepy internal video is every reason we fear Google
'We understand if this is disturbing—it is designed to be.'
Phillip Tracy
Earlier this month, Google was criticized for its demonstration of Duplex, a lifelike AI that takes calls on behalf of its human users. But a leaked internal Google video almost makes that creepy robot voice sound welcoming.
Titled The Selfish Ledger, the 9-minute video—leaked by the Verge—was directed by Nick Foster, the head of design at Google's X and co-founder of the Near Future Laboratory. In it, Foster envisions a world where an evolving record of everything we do online could be kept in a ledger and used to manipulate users to follow Google's own values.
The video cites several theories of evolution, specifically Lamarckian epigenetics, or the idea that what we do during our lifetime gets passed onto future generations. While that theory has been discredited in genetics over the years, Foster sees the way we use our devices as forming the same sort of "ledger," or database of information that can be influenced and continued generation after generation.
Set to music fit for a dystopian sci-fi film, the clip describes how it can use the information it collects to 3D-print personalized devices and fill in other data gaps. An example in the video shows Google printing a bathroom scale for the user because the ledger doesn't know how much the person weighs.
It also describes how the ledger can be used for individuals to reach chosen goals, simultaneously building multigenerational data to eventually solve worldwide epidemics like poverty and depression using multigenerational.
There is a scene where the future Google includes a "Resolutions from Google" button that presents lifestyle choices, like "eat more healthily," "protect the environment," and "support local businesses." If the user chooses "eat more healthily," Google recommends buying locally grown bananas to someone as they grocery shop online. If the user wants to be environmentally conscious, Google suggests the use of UberPool, Uber's carpool option.
In the most frightening segment of the video, the narrator compares this ledger of personal data to DNA, which can be modified to achieve the desired outcome. Warning: This next paragraph may keep you up at night.
"By thinking of user data as multigenerational, it becomes possible for emerging users to benefit from the preceding generation's behaviors and decisions," the narrator explains. "As new users enter an ecosystem, they begin to create their own trail of data. By comparing this emergent leger with the mass of historical user data, it becomes possible to make increasingly accurate predictions about decisions and future behaviors."
Google told the Verge the unsettling tone of the video was intentional, and nothing described in it relates to any of its products. But if you look at how much data Google collects about you, and some of its latest products, you might not be so convinced.
"We understand if this is disturbing—it is designed to be," a spokesperson said. "This is a thought-experiment by the Design team from years ago that uses a technique known as "speculative design" to explore uncomfortable ideas and concepts in order to provoke discussion and debate. It's not related to any current or future products."

Why not take advantage of local architects, as they seem to have engaged themselves to design great buildings. Being no inferior to the foreign colleges, Pacarizi and Sadiku pointed the strengths of local architecture. See below the description and other details of their Central Mosque of Prishtina International Competition proposal.
Aspirations: We propose an architecture which is related to the tradition in a way that defines both the present and the tradition. Typical mosque elements like the dome, minaret, portico are incrusted in our collective memory as the expression of the Islamic religious building. We used all those elements; we redefined them again, and assembled them in the new way, coherent to our contemporary expression and aspirations. The mosque of Prishtina will be the building the people of Kosovo will identify with. Our relation to religion is particular and this building is its expression. We accept and cherish the past and tradition but we look forward to the future. This building will be like all the mosques are supposed to be: the place to gather for praying but also the place to meet, to discuss, a place for our last respects to the one leaving as well as the place to forge the spirit of our community.
Situation: The site for the Mosque of Prishtina is an important crossroad of two main axes. The boulevard in front of the future mosque, is an important East-West line connecting the mayor institutions of the city. Perpendicular to the Boulevard runs the most important pedestrian axis, connecting several western neighbourhoods of Prishtina, from North to South. The mosque will enforce this particular point.
The creation of the large open court-terrace, reference to the traditional Hayat, will bring the necessary attraction to this point.
To release the maximum available space for the outside gatherings and meeting we have placed the Mosque above the ground level. The gained open court "Hayat" surface, plays the role of the traditional portico space, which is important transitional space between the city and the praying hall itself. This space is large enough to enable the gatherings for the particular Muslim celebrations. The several stairs and elevators "towers" connect the "Hayat" level with the praying hall, two eastern "towers" for the women and two northern "towers" with the Monumental stairs for the men.
The praying hall is unique circular space covered with 55m diameter dome, which culminates at 39m above the Boulevard. 3 mezzanine levels (Mahfils) develops inside the dome space. Light from above accentuates the religious feeling of this space. This central space is surrounded by servants spaces, entrance hall, library and the Small praying hall. This provides absolute silence for the praying hall.
The portico surface is accentuated by the circular openings which brings the light in the lower levels. One secondary court, in the east-south corner, leads to the various secondary functions of the Islamic community Centre, like the conference hall, school, restaurant, administration etc.
The multifunctional building, the base for the mosque, sits above three levels of underground parking. Two first levels are office retail space, while the third level is shopping centre with the bazaar typology. This programme is organised carefully with independent accesses and no confusion with the basic mosque spaces.
Building: The whole building will be constructed in the red concrete. Its inspiration comes from the mogul Islamic architecture but the aim is to express the uniqueness of the institution. The inside of the dome covered praying hall will be white with red carpets. The building is conceived with double skin envelope, with European standards of thermal insulation. The heating is organised in several zones, permitting the maximum energy saving. All the materials will be local origin and locally made.
Economy: Since we release the whole ground level and create a large public space, we could use more available space for the retail part. This retail space will help finance the building and later its management. We suppose that long term leasing of the rental office space and of the shopping centre will finance the whole building. On the other side the three levels of underground parking will produce enough yearly income for the support and management of the whole Institution.

News round-up including: Gender survey for 10-year-olds is dangerous folly
United Nations comes against Jerusalem
What kind of Brexit?
By Stephen in Brutal Britain, European Union, European Union, Kings of the Earth, Politics
Theresa May has stated Britain will leave the EU's Single Market after Brexit.
There is everything to pray for as her majesty's ministers meet today and tomorrow to discuss what kind of Brexit they will propose to the European Union as negotiations move onto the UK's trading relationship with the EU.
The BBC's Norman Smith says some ministers, 'like Chancellor Philip Hammond and Home Secretary Amber Rudd' want the UK to stick closely to the EU's single market to preserve access for British firms.
Others, he says, 'like Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Michael Gove', want 'more divergence so the UK has more freedom to strike its own trade deals with other countries'.
The United Kingdom is ripe for judgment. Indeed, the judgment is falling. We are becoming more secularist, more crass, less respectful, more immoral, more acquisitive and more brutal almost week by week, as our weekly news round-up shows. The prophet said:
Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
We should pray fervently for the Lord to grant national repentance in his mercy. Much of our society is in a state of disorder. British troops are still unnecessarily deployed abroad. We must also pray for peace:
Jer 29:7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
The Hebrew word 'shalom' also includes prosperity. Ours is historically a trading nation. Much of our economy depends on trade overseas. Which Brexit outcome will best help the sort of trade which assists peace and prosperity? What should we pray for?
Is reversing Brexit an option?
Tony Blair and Jack Straw signing the EU Constitution in the same room in Rome as where the Treaty of Rome was signed.
The arch-remoaners want the UK to stay in the EU. According to the Independent, Former Prime Minister Tony Blair says Labour should even prioritise stopping Brexit ahead of winning the next election.
Early last year, I made a video record of my travels around three European capitals. I came to the conclusion the European Union was deliberately conceived as a revived Roman Empire.
That means it is at war with Christ:
Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
To have any chance of being on the right side in that battle, the Government must honour last year's referendum result. We can see the June 2016 result as an answer to prayer.
Pro-Brexit: Suella Fernandes MP
However, so is the presence of Brexiteers (albeit of the closet variety) at the top of today's Labour Party. Mr Blair's calls will by the grace of God fall on deaf ears.
In another column in the Indy, Conservative MP Suella Fernandes remembers how much Tony Blair destroyed confidence in politics. We well remember the Iraq incursion.
But the MP also accuses Mr Blair of failing to give the British people a say on the EU's proposed constitution. She says: 'The electorate's and Parliament's clear will is to leave the EU. Reversing that now would be deeply divisive, fundamentally undemocratic and destroy the trust of the British people who now just want the government to get on with delivering Brexit.'
Remainers to be coordinated
Lord Malloch-Brown seeks to coordinate the Remainers
And yet the Guardian reported over the weekend: 'One of Britain's most senior former diplomats, Lord Malloch-Brown, is to take a lead role in coordinating the pro-remain groups towards a more coherent campaign focused on shifting public opinion before MPs hold a "meaningful vote" next autumn on Theresa May's Brexit deal.'
Lord Malloch-Brown is trying to coordinate his own Best for Britain, Open Britain and the European Movement. If they cannot actually reverse the Brexit decision, the groups will try to force a 'soft Brexit.' This would keep Britain in the Single Market and Customs Union.
But Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson says such an option would leave the UK as a 'vassal state' of the EU. We should be beholden to the bloc for our trade rules, unable to trade freely outside, but have no say in EU policy.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Mr Johnson said any deal must give Britain 'that important freedom to decide our own regulatory framework, our own laws and do things in a distinctive way'.
He said if the UK was forced to mirror EU laws, many people 'would say, "What is the point of what you have achieved?" because we would have gone from a member state to a vassal state.'
No Deal, Canada or Norway?
At the opposite end is the 'no deal' scenario, in which Britain leaves the EU with no agreement. The UK would rely on World Trade Organisation tariffs to trade with firms in the EU and elsewhere. We should also be totally free to strike trade deals around the world. But 25% of our financial services depend on EU trade. A last-minute collapse in negotiations would be the proverbial 'cliff-edge'. No-one would be prepared.
Norway has an agreement with the EU which gives it membership of the European Economic Area, the EEA. This gives the country full access to the EU's Single Maket. Fullfact.org said in August 2016 Norway was then paying the EU around £740 million compared to the UK's £14,000 million a year to be a full member. They said 'This translates to £140 per Norwegian, compared to £220 per Brit.'
A 'Norway' agreement would ensure virtually seamless trade with the EU. Nevertheless, it would be expensive and would constrain the UK in negotiating abroad. And Mrs May has ruled out staying in the Single Market.
Theresa May and David Davis appear to favour instead the 'Canada' model with additions. This is called 'Canada-plus' or even 'plus-plus-plus'.
Negotiate free trade agreements
City AM says this: 'Under this option, the UK would enter into a free trade agreement in goods with the EU along the lines of the agreement just concluded between the EU and Canada.
'In addition, free trade in services and possibly in agriculture would ideally be agreed to as an add-on. At the same time, pursuing its broader Drakean strategy, the UK would negotiate free trade agreements with other, more economically vibrant, partners such as China, the US and India.'
But firstly, the EU insists free trade in services must be linked to freedom of movement of people. Secondly, 'Canada-plus' would take more time to negotiate than the fifteen months the two sides have left.
City AM even quotes scripture:
Eccl 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
From this scripture, it says slowing down the Brexit process was smart, but it is now to get on with negotiations.
Wisdom comes from the fear of the Lord
But another scripture now comes into play:
Prov 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
For prayer, our first objective must be for the Lord to safeguard the principle of Brexit. The spiritual dimension is vital. It says the UK cannot safely stay in a revived Roman Empire. Moving on from that, our prayer is for Her Majesty's Government to seek a level of wisdom which only comes from the Lord himself. Which trade model will really be best for Britain? We will all have our own ideas. We cry to the Lord to have mercy, because unexpected things can happen:
Eccl 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Pray the Lord will at some stage make us stand, look up, and say: 'How did you do that?'

Isn't the biggest problem the land border with the Irish Republic?
Seems to be. That's why the best solution is for Republic of Ireland should follow the UK out of the EU.
There doesn't seem to be much point in deciding on "our own regulatory framework. "
Supposing European milk chocolate has to have at least 30% cocoa and 15% milk and, and they mostly stick to that and go no higher.
Supposing we decide to go for at least 35% cocoa. but allow most of our milk chocolate to be only 10% milk.
(These figures are fictitious, but you get the idea).
The result would be that we could no longer export to or import from Europe, unless the chocolate was made specially, and even if it was, we would lose the wider variety in the shops that we enjoy now.
This is nonsense. Companies will simply make products according to the EU standards for sale in the failing empire.
Yes, as I said the chocolate would have to be made specially, but that would not be economic and it would deprive the consumer of a lot of choice, because (in this case) not all the varieties of chocolate now available would be made in a special UK version, and anyway, they would not taste the same if they were. Similarly with what we were trying to export. Foreigners keen on paying extra for a genuine British "Dairy Milk" bar would soon find that it just wasn't the same, so they wouldn't bother.
William Hague sometimes writes nonsense too, for example in the Daily Telegraph recently.
"Even ardent Brexiteers have to accept that much of our manufacturing industry will have little interest in having different product standards from the EU."

They must stop this gender nonsense immediately. This country must get serious and think there is a whole world out there, and peaceful trading is what we are going to do, and we are going to do it honestly. We will not be taken seriously by other countries if we have these clowns in charge.
We should think like a free marketeer, and where the EU imposes sanctions, like where America has imposed sanctions on UK banks, then really we should just take our business elsewhere. This is one trick I learnt in business. Some customers gave me a lot of trouble. There were always going to be one or two, who threaten you, make your life difficult and well generally cause you a lot of stress. For these people it is better just to not trade with them. Initially you could reason that would be a loss in revenue, but actually I found the customers I was growing were more and more of the decent type. The agro was simply not worth it, and if the EU tell us we have to do this that and the other, have special products for their markets then don't worry. There are billions of other customers, and perhaps we should look to the East. They are doing some honest trade at fair prices, and their economies are on the up.
You really don't want to trade with monkeys. You want to trade with people who are advanced and hard-working and so forth. Personally I have serious reservations about how America conducts its business as well. The theory i have on why China is growing at such a phenomenal rate is they think two things. First they are the servants of the customer. Whatever the customer wants they will be keen to help, and the second one is reputation, especially in the long term. The Chinese will not have to start any wars, they will simply buy these decadent economies up. PC does not exist in china. You won't get any recognition for rights for transexuals (sic), they will just think you are mad.

Saint Luke's News: Free Hepatitis C Screenings in July
Saint Luke's Health System is offering free Hepatitis C screenings throughout the month of July at several locations across the Kansas City area.
Roughly 3.5 million Americans are living with Hepatitis C, according to the CDC. Hepatitis C is a disease that damages the liver. It is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is spread through direct contact with the blood of an infected person.
"According to U.S. government data, about 50 percent of people living with Hepatitis C are not aware they have the disease," said Laura Alba, MD, a hepatologist with Saint Luke's Liver & Transplant Specialists. "HCV is curable in almost 100 percent of cases, therefore it is very important to diagnose and treat the disease as early as possible."
Adults born between 1945-1965 are more at risk of having the virus. Others who are at increased risk include veterans, anyone who has received a tattoo from an unlicensed source, those with a history of drug use, and recipients of donated blood, blood products, or organs before 1992. See more possible risks here.
A simple finger-prick blood test can determine whether you have Hepatitis C. The test is confidential, and you'll receive your results in just 20 minutes.
Anyone is welcome to attend the free screenings at the following locations:
Saint Luke's Liver & Transplant Specialists (4320 Wornall Road, Suite 240 Kansas City, MO 64111)
July 19: 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Saint Luke's North Hospital Pharmacy (5844 NW Barry Road, Suite 20 Kansas City, MO 64154)

Unmanned aircraft systems provide an alternative platform for observing, monitoring, and measuring focal targets. They fill the gap between satellite and manned aircraft imagery and ground-based observations. Aerial platforms efficiently cover large areas of land, particularly when ground operations are difficult or dangerous, such as in the Everglades. Unmanned aircraft provide a method of obtaining aerial imagery without the added risk of putting a human life in the air. An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Florida, with funding from various agencies over the years, have developed several small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) designed specifically as low-cost, autonomous, aerial imaging tools for ecological research and monitoring.
Amphibious Operation in Rugged Terrain
High Accuracy, High Resolution Imagery
Autonomous Flight Operation
The UF Unmanned Aircraft Systems Research Program has worked for nearly 18 years to pioneer the development of UAS technology as a tool for aerial imagery collection for natural resource applications.
The initial motivation to explore UAV applications for natural resource applications was to save lives. Due to the challenging terrain and low altitudes characteristic of aerial surveys, light aircraft crashes are the leading cause of workplace mortality among wildife biologists. Despite this fact, thousands of flights are performed annually to perform these critical surveys as no suitable alternative previously existed.
Once the initial concept of utilizing UASs to augment manned flights was proven feasible through preliminary pilot application projects, subsequent development resulted in 6 generations of fixed-wing unmanned systems. Building on experiences gained and subsequent lessons learned, the Program enhanced its interdisciplinary scope with the inclusion of researchers from the UF Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
This partnership brought advancements in vehicle capabilities, improving flight performance and navigational accuracy while increasing durability for operations in challenging locales. As a suitable sensor platform became available, additional expertise was contributed by researchers from the UF School of Forest Resources and Conservation's Geomatics Program, who then focused the Program's efforts on the development of improved imaging payloads for aerial mapping.
The latest generation fixed-wing sUAS is the result of intensive cooperative development between biologists who specify the imagery data products and operational constraints they require, geomaticists who then develop a suitable payload to meet those needs, and aerospace engineers who finally design and build the airframe to optimally exploit the payload in the specified environment. As the latest system is currently producing valuable aerial imagery products, there is an ongoing development push toward optimizing the methodology of data acquisition and improving the processing and analysis required to turn "pretty pictures" into valuable scientific data to assist biologists and project leads in making better informed assessments and management decisions.

The Girl with 90% Burns
For the past ten years or so I have collaborated with Professor Peter Dziewulski and many others at St. Andrew's in the treatment of teenager Terri Calvesbert, who suffered 90% burns as an infant. Our work was recently featured in an episode of the Channel 5 documentary series 'Extraordinary People'.

Politics Big and Small
Posted by Adrienne on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 tagged with: Adrienne's Political Musings
Many of you know that I am a bit of a political junkie and I am fortunate enough everyday to go to work and talk about it with kids. I am struck lately by the similarities I see between my classroom and the national political stage. We're involved in a Legislative Simulation now that has divided the class into Republicans and Democrats and they are trying to pass legislation out of the Senate. What I see is a Republican party that is led by an very strong student and is very, very organized. Despite being in the minority they are incredibly aggressive and they play hard ball with everything. On the Democratic side I have another very strong student who is doing everything she can to cajole and threaten her side into doing something, anything to play the game even a little bit. Needless to say when we go to the Floor tomorrow I expect the Republicans to tear it up and the Democrats to whine about how they're the majority and they're supposed to win stuff.
This got me thinking about whether this is the problem with Democrats in general right now. We spent so long in the weeds that now that we're out of them we feel like we're owed stuff (like a Senate seat in MA) and we don't want to fight for it anymore. We're tired and we want someone else to do the heavy lifting. I think what I'm seeing in my classroom and what we're seeing in our country is that the Republicans are happy to lift and if we don't like the direction they're going we have no choice but to get off our butts and keep fighting. Or you know, not, but when the blame game starts again I hope we'll be a little more introspective and start with ourselves.
The parallel is interesting. What decided which party each student would end up in? Is the beligerent minority just a coincidence?
I know your second paragraph is likely using "We" to mean Democrats and I'm not one. But I've voted for plenty of them so let me say this: as a country we've given the Democrats the presidency and both houses in congress. If they're unable to put their platform in place it's not my fault, it's theirs and when they fall back out of power because they failed to accomplish what they said they would, failed to focus the media story on what they did accomplish and failed in general to show any resolve, backbone, common sense or identity with the people who elected them, it's nobody's fault but their own. I do want someone else to do the heavy lifting. I want the representatives that I'm paying to do the heavy lifting to do the heavy lifting or at least put a good effort into it.
Sorry, this health care thing has really affected me.

The kids chose thier own parties based on the politics they felt most passionate about expressing. So the beligerent minority is true blue not my creation.
I totally agree with what you're saying Albert, but I think that this is the problem with our current system. We want results, we elect people for resultes but our system is not designed for results (at least not fast ones). Civil Rights legislation was proposed in Congress in 1957, 1960 and finally in 1963. It was a big part of Kennedy's campaign and he sent a bill to Congress in June of 1963. It was passed by the House in February of '64 and then was filibustered (for 54 days) in the Senate and dramatically watered down before finally passing in June of '64. The House was forced to take the Senate version and it finally becoming law July 2, 1964. When it did Johnson told an aide that the Democratic Party had lost the south for a generation. And this was with the March on Washington, the sit ins, the freedom riders, and everything else going on convincing people to support it.
I don't think health care is any less passionately felt and in this case what the bill actually does matters because it's spending a lot of money somewhere--either your pocket, the state's pocket, or the federal government's pocket. I don't know if it's realistic to expect that would pass quickly, especially if those of us who support it got quiet right as the tea party got loud. It might still pass, it might end up passing in a terrible form, but I do think that we need to be more vocal to our members and to our families and friends to be vocal about it. The Party needs to step up, no doubt, but governing is a messy, often disgusting process and that was by the Founders design.

First, watch Sesame Street's Lovers Of Five sing about their favorite number:

<object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/Dlgiritpmfo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Dlgiritpmfo&hl=en&fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object>

The Sesame Street video is a genius parody/homage—let's call it a pomage—to the Floaters 1977 hit "Float On".  In the likely event that you are unfamiliar with the Floaters's television performance of the song, here it is:

<object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/gT_9OUvmb5I&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gT_9OUvmb5I&hl=en&fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object>

Don't miss some of the amazing lyrics, especially this variation that starts at the 3:11 mark:

Take my hand!

Let me take you to Loveland!

Let me show you how sweet it could be,

Sharing your love with Larry!

You go, Larry!

Bearing in mind that they didn't have YouTube and VHS tapes in those days, it's pretty amazing how closely Sesame Street was able to emulate (or at least capture the spirit of) the Floaters television performance.

The Sesame Street "Give Me Five" song was a notable presence in my life a few months ago.  I would play it on various instruments.  (The chords for both the Floaters song and the Sesame Street pomage are Gmaj7 and Dmaj7 repeated over and over, if you care to know.)  I would absent-mindedly sing lines from the song throughout the day.

At first, my girlfriend was amused by this.  She loved "Give Me Five"!  How could you not?  But after many weeks of incessant "Give Me Five" in our apartment, she looked me in the eyes to let me know it was time for a heart-to-heart discussion.  She said earnestly, "Honey, I love you, and I love the number five.  And for that to continue, this must stop."

She wasn't kidding.

I decided that I would go cold turkey.  I would neither play nor sing "Give Me Five" for five days.  I slipped up a few times, absent-mindedly singing, "Give me 1, 2, 3, 4, but if you love me more," and had to reset the timer.  But eventually I made it five days without any "Give Me Five" in my life.

It may have been the most difficult thing I've ever done.

There are a number of things which almost all human beings that have walked on this planet have had in common. Down through the ages men, woman, and children have felt the torment of unknown fears, the love of faithful animals and the joy of laughter and fun. For one old Irish fisherman, the laughter ends abruptly when he finds that the difference between heaven and hell is just one wag of a tail.
