Eating clean and healthy is a constant challenge.
A few months ago, I was opening the fridge for the eighth time in 90 seconds desperately hoping something new would magically appear. All we had were some pepper and kale scraps, eggs, and a couple leftover new potatoes from a restaurant. "What the hell am I going to eat?" I silently whined. Then I got high and had a flash of brilliance.
I've never been someone who likes salads, but I recently started making fruit sauces to substitute for dressing over my greens and actually liked it. It was that thought that lead me to this one: "Maybe I could make an egg salad, and use the yolk as my dressing."
So I sautéed up the piddly little remains of vegetables that were in the fridge, fried a couple eggs over easy, and tossed it all in a bowl with some sea salt and pepper. It was delicious.
The best part was that this was a super-versatile concoction.
I started experimenting with other veggie combos (after I went grocery shopping). I found that I really loved throwing a little Asiago cheese into the mix at the last second for some added flavor (and who doesn't love a little fried cheese), and sautéing my veggies in fresh bacon grease never hurt. But no matter what scraps lay around, I was usually able to make some kind of *healthy* meal for myself in under 15 minutes.
Then there was a couple weeks when my roommates went out of town, and I was left to fend for myself. The first day, I just decided to cut up all the veggies I had available so that they'd be convenient throughout the week. Then when it was time to make a meal, I'd throw together whatever pieces I was feeling like and make a completely new combination. Even at the end of the two weeks, I don't think I could say I ever got tired of these because they were different every time!
Below, I've created a collection of some of my favorite creations to help inspire you.

Are We Ready for a Web 2.0 White House?
By Sharon Gaudin
President Barack Obama and his administration is keeping up his image as a tech-savvy president by launching a presence on a variety of social networking sites.
The White House, over the course of late last week and this weekend joined Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, putting out information about the president's plans to block business tax havens, rural health care and, of course, information about the H1N1, or swine, flu.
"The White House has leaped into social networking with both feet, with pages on Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace," said Dan Olds, principle analyst with the Gabriel Consulting Group. "This is fulfilling one goal by giving the White House an unfiltered communications channel to the public at large. Each of the pages is chock full of policy positions, media releases, and general Obama news."
What seems to be lacking, according to Olds, is any thoughtful dialogue on those sites.
"The most prevalent comments on the MySpace page are one line pleas to legalize pot," he noted. "Comments on Facebook range from complimentary to almost worshipful. While this must be nice to hear, you have to wonder if these pages are helping the Obama White House reach the public at large, or if this is mainly preaching to the choir."
The White House might get more in-depth discussions going online if they not only post information but if they ask more questions, he noted. And people need to know if anyone in the administration is monitoring these discussions and taking note of people's opinions. If not, then what's the point? But if the White House is paying attention, then people will have more inclination to put the time into making their opinions known.
The Web 2.0 administration should come as no surprise to those who've been following Obama's road to the White House and the technology he's used to help him get there.
During his campaign for president, Obama, who fought to keep his Blackberry while in office, seemingly showed other politicians what it means to harness the power of the Web. The then-senator went beyond the somewhat static Web pages of most past campaigns and tapped the power of Web 2.0 tools, including Facebook, YouTube, blogs and discussion boards, to create a conversation with potential voters.
And on inauguration day, a major overhaul of WhiteHouse.gov was launched as the president was being sworn in. At noon that day, the president's official Web site appeared online with a new design that focused not just on the new administration but on new media. For example, it has a feature called " The Briefing Room," where users can go to read the latest White House blog posts and even sign up for e-mail news updates.
And then late in March, Obama gave everyday citizens, not just journalists, the opportunity to ask him questions during an online town hall. The Web 2.0 experiment drew 92,928 users who submitted 104,111 questions and cast 3,606,658 votes for queries they wanted answered.
This story, "Are We Ready for a Web 2.0 White House?" was originally published by Computerworld.

Eric Lander Calls For Officials to Uphold ...
Eric Lander Calls For Officials to Uphold Best Forensic Practices
In light of the announcement over the weekend that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) examiners gave flawed testimony about hair evidence in 96% of the criminal trials that have been reviewed so far in a review of nearly 3,000 cases and counting, Co-Chairman of President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and Innocence Project Board Member Eric Lander, in an op-ed for the
on Tuesday, called for law enforcement, prosecutors and defense attorneys to insist upon high-quality forensics to avoid wrongful convictions and ensure public safety.
Lander recalled a case for which he provided testimony as an expert witness, which prompted the National Academy of Sciences and the FBI to establish new standards for DNA fingerprinting. Among the defense team for that case were Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck, who soon went on to found the Innocence Project.
By 2012, three men who were convicted based on hair evidence had been exonerated after serving approximately 30 years each. DNA testing proved that none of the hair samples matched the defendant in these cases, and in the case of Santae Tribble, one sample was found to be from a dog.
The Department of Justice then reached an agreement with the Innocence Project and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers to launch a historic review of FBI testimony on hair analysis in over 2,500 cases spanning from 1985 to 1999. Results of the first 268 cases examined were reported Sunday in the
, according to Lander's op-ed. Results reveal that the testimony in 96 percent of the total cases was fundamentally flawed. Among the defendants in those cases, 33 were sentenced to death. Nine have already been executed.
In 2013 the Department of Justice appointed a national commission on the issue.
"The commission, most of whose members are tied to law enforcement or involved in current forensic practice, now needs to listen to its independent panelists and get down to making rigorous recommendations," Lander wrote.
Lander notes that the problem lies not just with hair analysis. Innocent people have been convicted via improper use of many types of forensic evidence, such as ballistic and bite-mark evidence. There must be rigorous standards and oversight for the use of expert testimony on these types of evidence, Lander writes. He says experts should be required to show three things when they testify: "a public database of patterns from many representative samples; precise and objective criteria for declaring matches; and peer-reviewed published studies that validate the methods."
Police, prosecutors and defense attorneys should be united in their desire to uphold reliable forensic practices, Lander writes, in order to keep innocent people out of prison and dangerous offenders off the streets.

Call on the DOJ and FBI to ensure justice and accuracy in forensics!


10. Kansas (14–3): The Jayhawks are coming off an 86–81 loss at Iowa State, but with non-conference wins over Florida, Michigan State, Georgetown, and Utah they still have a good résumé. In addition forward Perry Ellis put up 19 points and 11 rebounds against the Cyclones—a great sign for KU and the struggling-Ellis.
This week: versus Oklahoma (Monday), at Texas (Saturday).
9. Iowa State (13–3): The Cyclones got an early lead against KU and never let up Saturday. One thing that caught KU by surprise was their secondary break. Fred Hoiberg's team beat Kansas down the floor—even after made baskets by the Jayhawks—for easy buckets multiple times in the win.
This week: versus Kansas State (Tuesday), at Texas Tech (Saturday).
8. Wisconsin (16–2): Frank Kaminsky was back Thursday in the team's 70–55 win over Nebraska after missing the Rutgers game with a concussion—a game they lost. The Badgers sorely missed the 7-footer who has scored in double-digits in all but one game this season and leads the team in points (17.2) and rebounds per game (8.0).
This week: versus Iowa (Tuesday), at Michigan (Saturday).
7. Duke (15–2): After back-to-back double-digit losses Duke bounced back in a big way with a win at Louisville. Freshman Jahlil Okafor put up 18 points and seven rebounds in the impressive win as the Blue Devils held Rick Pitino's squad to just 29.5 percent shooting—in Louisville.
This week: versus Pittsburgh (Monday), at St. John's (Sunday).
6. Notre Dame (17–2): While a number of teams on this list win with defense, the Fighting Irish are able to out-score their opponents. Notre Dame is second in the country in shooting at 52.8 percent, while the team averages 81.7 points per game—good for 12th in the nation.
This week: at Virginia Tech (Thursday), at N.C. State (Sunday).
5. Arizona (16–2): The Wildcats are another team led by a freshman as forward Stanley Johnson paces the team in both points (14.6) and rebounds (6.8) per game. Arizona, which is tied for the Pac-12 lead, have lost their two games by a total of just 6 points and boast a 15.5 point scoring margin for the season.
This week: at Stanford (Thursday), at California (Saturday).
4. Villanova (17–1): Jay Wright's club is having a special season. He has a balanced team with five players averaging double-digits in scoring, though only one is putting up more than 11 per contest—senior guard Darrun Hilliard II.
This week: at Georgetown (Monday), versus Creighton (Sunday).
3. Gonzaga (18–1): The Bulldogs have won 11 straight since an overtime loss at Arizona in early December and they probably won't be favored to lose again until March Madness is here. With arguably their toughest contests remaining coming against St. Mary's, Gonzaga should cruise into the Big Dance as conference champs.
This week: versus St. Mary's (Thursday), versus Pacific (Saturday).
2. Virginia (17–0): The undefeated Cavaliers, who are second in the country in fewest points allowed at 50.6 per game, have won all but three of their contests by 10 points or more. Only Miami, which has had a roller-coaster season even took them to overtime.
This week: versus Georgia Tech (Thursday), at Virginia Tech (Sunday).
1. Kentucky (17–0): After a pair of lackluster wins over Texas A&M and Ole Miss, Kentucky is officially back. The Wildcats thrashed Missouri by 49 and then Alabama by 22 this past week to erase any doubts as to who's No. 1. John Calipari's dream team leads the country in scoring defense at 50.4 points a game and has embarrassed top programs like Kansas (72–40) and UCLA (83–44) along the way.
This week: versus Vanderbilt (Tuesday), at South Carolina (Saturday).

Out of Steam: Upcoming Steam Machines won't be very profitable
By Joel Hruska on May 22, 2014 at 4:16 pm
Valve's announcement last year that it was planning a foray into game consoles, operating systems, and its own game controller sparked a great deal of interest in the PC gaming community. It's follow-up announcement that it wouldn't actually build a console but would instead work with manufacturers to create a variety of offerings at various price points killed a significant amount of that interest. Now, multiple manufacturers are complaining that Steam machines simply duplicate some of the worst problems of the conventional PC hardware industry.
According to Frank Azor, General Manager of Dell's Alienware brand, the Steam machine is going to be "very challenging," and "will absolutely be the least profitable system we ever sell." iBuyPower's Tuan Nguyen, director of products and marketing, noted that the wide range of products could leave consumers badly confused as manufacturers hurl various system builds and pricing SKUs at the wall to see what sticks.
Alienware's Steam Machine.
Both companies also reiterated that they're committed to the Steam Machines concept and want to see the machines become successful, but there's an obvious tension between the need to turn a decent profit and the need to build market share for these new products. The problem is an old one — in the PC market, nobody makes money on hardware except boutique builders who can charge a premium for top-end products — and that's not the market Steam Machines are targeting.
If you're an end-user, a Windows-free box might be attractive because it's guaranteed to come without the added cost of a Windows license or any of the bloatware that typically characterizes these systems. If you're an OEM, a Windows-free system is a headache precisely because it offers no opportunity to bundle Windows licenses, Office licenses, or any of the assorted bloatware products that keep PC manufacturers profitable. When you consider that Dell and HP have net PC profits in the low single digits, it's clear that these programs matter — even if PC consumers hate them.
What this underscores is that Steam Machines ultimately are going to make money for just one company: Valve. They're the long-term play Gabe Newell is making to bring PC gaming into the living room, yes — but also to establish Valve's Steam as a content delivery platform that stretches across multiple types of computing devices. Valve continues to evolve the Steam Machines concept — it's revamped the original touch screen controller and, as of yesterday, added support for game streaming between multiple PCs in the same home. The company has added streaming support across devices running multiple operating systems. Valve recently took further strides to extending Steam in-home streaming from one PC to another — in a blog post yesterday, the company debuted the new streaming ability to all Steam Beta users.
If Valve can pull this off, it stands to open new markets for itself and expand the use of PCs in what has typically been seen as a console space — but the hardware manufacturers are going to have a very difficult time making any money in the process.


Either the marketing is really working, or Americans are becoming more health conscious.
For the first time EVER…wheat bread sales have surpassed white bread.
The best-performing breads are promoting credentials like "whole grain" and "natural," sometimes asking consumers to pay more for those loaves. And it seems to be working. Breads with "natural" in the name, or grains visible through the packaging, are among the best performing at grocery stores.
Interesting that even in this economy, people are willing to shell out more for healthier bread.

Pauline Castillo '19 had long assumed she would follow in her parents' footsteps to become a dentist. Her plan was to go to college in California and major in biology. But Pauline also wanted to keep her options open, so she took what she assumed was a long shot and applied to the prestigious art school of Rhode Island School of Design, better known as RISD. To her surprise, she got in!
She also received admission to The New School at Parsons School of Design in New York and to Loyola Marymount University in Southern California with a scholarship to study animation. She is deciding between RISD and Parsons where she hopes to study industrial design or illustration. No matter where she chooses to go, we know that she will take with her the confidence and curiosity that she has grown into as a Mariner artist. Best of luck, Pauline!

Q: Calculate the distance between two positions Android Studio I'm building an application that tracks my running and walking but I'm getting some trouble with calculating the total distance.
Here is a part of my code where I'm getting the values of latitude and longitude and where I do my calculation of the distance.
public class SportsActicity {

protected Integer userId;
protected ArrayList<Position> route = new ArrayList<Position>();

public SportsActicity() {
    this.userId = 1;
}

public void track(Double latitude, Double longitude, Double altitude, float speed, long chron) {
    Date currentDate = new Date();
    Position currentPosition = new Position(currentDate, latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, chron);
    route.add(currentPosition);
    // Float velocidade =  (locat.getSpeed()*3600)/1000;
}

public double getTotalDistance() {
    double distance = 0;
    if(route.size() > 1) {
        for (Integer i = 0; i < route.size() - 1; i++) {
            distance += test(route.get(i).latitude, route.get(i).longitude, route.get(i + 1).latitude, route.get(i + 1).longitude);
        }
    }
    return distance;
}

public Float test(Double lat1, Double lon1, Double lat2, Double lon2) {
    double earthRadius = 6371;
    double latDiff = Math.toRadians(lat2-lat1);
    double lngDiff = Math.toRadians(lon2-lon1);
    double a = Math.sin(latDiff /2) * Math.sin(latDiff /2) +
               Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat1))*
               Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat2))* Math.sin(lngDiff /2) *
               Math.sin(lngDiff /2);
    double c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1 - a));
    double distance = earthRadius * c;

    int meterConversion = 1609;

    return new Float(distance * meterConversion).floatValue();
}

If I'm not moving, the total distance is always incrementing, around 10 (no idea if it is in meters), and the values I'm getting don't look correct.

A: You can use Location's static method distanceBetween instead of your whole test method.
int[] results = new int[1];
Location.distanceBetween(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, results);
int distance = results[0];

A: From Google official repository link
SphericalUtil
MathUtil
Usage
 double distance = SphericalUtil.computeDistanceBetween(new LatLng(9.000,10.00), new LatLng(9.000,11.00));

The above method will returns the distance between two LatLngs, in meters. Or try this
private String getDistance(LatLng my_latlong,LatLng frnd_latlong){
 Location l1=new Location("One");
 l1.setLatitude(my_latlong.latitude);
 l1.setLongitude(my_latlong.longitude);

 Location l2=new Location("Two");
 l2.setLatitude(frnd_latlong.latitude);
 l2.setLongitude(frnd_latlong.longitude);

 float distance=l1.distanceTo(l2);
 String dist=distance+" M";

  if(distance>1000.0f)
   {
     distance=distance/1000.0f;
     dist=distance+" KM";
   }

 return dist;

}

A few days ago, we published a review for René Aquarius' debut solo record, 'Blight' (read). Like I said in the review "this is the longest and most intriguing drum solo I've ever heard". Yes, the album is all drums but nothing you would expect. But, there's also another side of René Aquarius, the one where he's the heavy hitting drummer for heavy jazz combo Dead Neanderthals. Judging from that diversity, I thought it would be a good idea to ask him about his Songs With Stories. Believe it or not, for a busy man like René, these came in very quickly.
Good old Carcass. I still love this album and I still think it holds up really well. One important aspect is that I can feel the energy and the attitude of these guys, even after all these years. Furthermore, for me the sloppiness of the entire thing really enhances the experience because I'm basically figuring out what the hell is going on. Just as everybody else. So the same album can become very different for each individual who listens. Killer!
The Okkultokrati records have a special place in my music collection. I don't really know why, but there's something cool to their music. It has all the ingredients of a 'standard' crusty rock band, but they always take weird twists and turns. Direct and in-your-face mix, weird vocals, a synth here and there. Really looking forward to their new Raspberry Dawn album, which will be out in a couple of days. This particular song is my personal favorite off their excellent Snakereigns album.
The early years of Celtic Frost are so cool! Every song is a 10 out of 10 for me. The song Dethroned Emperor has all the elements of the Morbid Tales EP in it. Raging fast parts and headbanging doomy parts. Killer from front to back.
When Blackjazz was released I bought the album and was so impressed that I saw them live maybe 5 or 6 times in the years after Blackjazz. Such an impressive live act and really important for us when we started Dead Neanderthals. We had the pleasure to be the support-act for them 3 times. Absolutely killer and very friendly as well. What more can you ask for? The live version of Healter Skelter captures the spirit of the band perfectly. Enjoy!
I can't and will not choose my favorite track from this album. It deserves to be heard from start to finish and it is one of my favorite albums of all time. Fantastic songs that are perfectly paced and endlessly rewarding to listen to. Every time you listen to it you'll uncover new details in the mix.
I was gutted to hear the band split up and although the band Staer (also from Stavanger, Norway) did something very similar, it was never quite the same. However, I think this album will never leave my playlist.


Hello dear friends, Evgenia Petzer with you today. I have made a soft summer nautical card that can be used for couple occasions, I hope we will use it as a compliment to the main gift to an upcoming friends birthday of my middle son.
I have drawn the boat and then transferred it to the Maja Design, I have then mounted it on the Kraft cardstock, you can probably see it between the layers. Lots of fussy cutting the postmarks, some scrapiniec chipboard and sewing machine stitching.
I have also made the flags on the toothpicks from the coordinating Maja papers.
Hello, dear friends! Evgenia Petzer with you today. I have made another masculine card this time. I really love mixing my tender shabby chic works with these masculine, a bit grungy projects. I prefer to use Denim and Friends collection for these type of works.
I love to add wood elements to my projects, I have covered the chipboard element with the frontage embossing powder.
Hello dear friends! Evgenia Petzer with you today. I have something special about this Maja Design Collection- Sofiero. When it was printed for the first time, I even wasn't on the Design Team yet and I have bought like 5 sheets of each design, I was so happy later on when it was reprinted, Still one of my most favorites.
Foe both if these cards I have just used the paper pad and fussy cut some elements from the Vintage Spring Die cut sheet.
Hello dear friends, Evgenia Petzer with you today. I have another festive season card with the newest Christmas Season collection by MajaDesign. In Russia we mainly celebrate New Year, so this time the sentiment is for this holiday. This collection again has the cutest images and the heroes are just so adorable. Just have a look at the Ephemera sheet. I actually used the images from the big 12 by 12 sheet, and all the papers are from the small paper pad.
lots of layers with chipboard and die cutting with the machine.


BERN, Switzerland (AP) Swiss federal prosecutors have new evidence of 28 acts of possible money laundering linked to FIFA's 2018 and 2022 World Cup bid contests.
The office of Switzerland's attorney general says it now has 81 ''suspicious activity reports'' filed by banks in the country.
Swiss prosecutors are working with a separate United States probe of racketeering and bribery implicating senior FIFA officials.
Though Lauber's case focuses on the 2018-2022 contests won by Russia and Qatar, respectively, he said it could include other FIFA business.

ESNY Game Day: Mets at Cardinals — Monday Lineups, Odds, Pitchers, TV, Radio
The Mets travel to St. Louis to commence a four-game series with the Cardinals Monday night.
Sunday evening, we witnessed the game-tying home run that wasn't.
Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins, with Philadelphia down 8-5, jacked a three-run homer off Mets closer Edwin Diaz to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth.
But after a review, umpires concluded the ball actually hit the top of the fence and came back onto the field, resulting in a two-run double that kept the Mets in the lead by one.
Diaz exited the game but Jeurys Familia came on to close out the matchup by striking out Bryce Harper.
The Mets thus improved to 11-11 on the year and will take on the 16-12 St. Louis Cardinals on the road Monday night.

Pregame


Have you ever seen the movie "Juwanna Mann?" Where a male athlete losing his eligibility to play in the NBA so pretends to be a woman and joins the WNBA.
The LGBT community can't even escape the fury that comes with the incorrect use of gender pronouns.
Stephen's College in Columbia, Missouri, has been added to the list of women-only colleges that have decided to expand their enrollment process to include men who identify as women.
In the latest MRCTV Podcast, Brittany Hughes and Eric Scheiner discuss a proposed NY measure that would allow the government into your social media accounts to apply for a gun license.
On Twitter, if you call someone by the "wrong" gender, guess what? You're going to be banned.
These changes in transgender policy would roll back Obama-era edicts that were implemented before then-president Obama left office.
Probably because…well, he is one.
Students can choose any gender identity, as many gender identities, or no gender identity at all, dependent upon their own personal preferences.
Cosmo magazine is warning expecting parents to stop celebrating the gender of their forthcoming child.
The bill allows for child services to factor in "gender identity" and "gender expression" when deciding if a child will stay with their parents.

If Rachel Hunter loves the tree so much how about she buy the property
by Cameron Slater on December 13, 2015 at 11:30am
Rachel Hunter has entered into the attack on private property rights currently being waged in West Auckland
"Our Rach" has joined the debate over the fate of a West Auckland kauri.
Contractors this week arrived at the Titirangi property of John Lenihan and Jane Greensmith to cut down the tree.
In March, activist Michael Tavares spent three days suspended in the tree amid public outcry for its protection.
Lenihan and Greensmith planned to remove the tree, which is not protected, to build two houses.
They had resource consent from the Auckland Council to do so, but the tree was given a reprieve so neighbours could buy the land.
That had not happened, so they had resumed their original plan, they said on Thursday.

Chapter 463, the era, like a wild horse
In the case of some nervous, silent in the performance of Wooden and Fizz.
The foam is not a stalk, pick up the menu directly, and specializes in prince, there is a big point.
I have been lazy, there is no bubble that doesn't have much desire. At this moment, it is rare with a little smile.
There is no tail in the body, the foam feels away from some kind of shackle,
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but smoke my right mouth, but I thought that my money can be reimbursed, and I immediately reveal the look of the atmosphere.
It seems that because of this random atmosphere between the right fight and the foam, it is slowly relaxed by the woods and Fuyuan, and the two people have got a few dishes.
For a time, on the original air desk, it quickly stacked a variety of vegetables.
Right fighting and even idling a few words, because the flow of people in the fog in the village this time has changed much, business is naturally better,
After all the dishes are all, the right bumbles can have no Kung Fu foam, and I have a big mouth. First, in order to supplement physical strength, the second is also a long time to eat.
Soon, the bubble has also joined the elegant, but the speed of the rightvone is more, but the speed of eating is not slow.
It is still a little restrained by the wood and Fu, but seeing the dishes on the table, so soon, two people have been eliminated by the two people, and the two people have no restraint, and they have a fast food. Get up.
After all, they now also need to add physical strength and Chakra, and eat is the most fast and enjoyable way, more than ever.
Soon, less than twenty minutes, four people have a full of food on the table, and eat a two net.
The right bumper touched the belly, showing satisfactory look on his face. There are a lot of guests in this store, and the dishes do have a few points.
Unfortunately, a Le Role did not come to the fog hidden village opening shop, but it was a little disappointed with the right body.
"By wood, Fu, you can now leave now."
After the right fight, after weaken, looked up, and a smile looks to two people.
The Fu is stunned, followed by the mouth, preparing to get up.
At this time, the sideline is not moving, but the face is in the face with a surprise look: "What does it mean?"
"By the sister of the wood, is this guy not let us go back?"
He saw the doubt asked by the wood, some unexplored openings, thinking that the wood people did not listen to the right battle.
"No, the meaning of the right fight is not the place where we live now, but let us go back to our own village."
The woodman shook his head gently, and the tone was surprised, and his eyes were tightly looked at opposite the right fight.
Back to your own village?
There is also a horrified look on the face, and the orange pupil is incredible to see the right.
As for the bubble, it gently picked the eyebrows, flashed in the eyes, but still sitting there, there is no meaning of any opening.
"The reason why you brought you to the village, just because of your body, I didn't want the guy of Yuxi Boss."
"And now you have all the inquiry beasts, there is nothing necessary to stay here, I want to contact people in my village, I don't send you people."
"In addition, the fog hidden village will welcome two arrivals."
Right fight with a mild smile, looking at the wood man and Puff.
I heard the determination of the right fight.
Whether it is a wood, or a false, there is a silence between it.
"You guys, can't repent."
The face is the first to expose the jague, and the child's heart exposure is undoubted. I have long been going to leave the village of the Village. I naturally want to go back to my own village.
"Of course." The right squatted and looked todped.
"Goodbye, bubble big brother, there is also a sister of wood!"
Hui Buddha is afraid that the right fight will regret, and go to everyone, turn around to quickly disappear in the vision of everyone.
"This gimmick."
The back of the wood people looked at the leaves, some dumbs were launched, staying together for so long, for this nature, more lively little girl, is still a bit good by the wood people.
From the wood people, the eyes are looking at the right, compared to the true character of the rumor, the natural personality is more natural.
But whether it is guessing or even the heart of the woods, she is clear, she has no chips in her hands.
Thinking here, it is not only sighful to sigh in the heart of the wood.
"Thank you, right fight."
It is a respect for the right bumper to the right bumper, and there is a respectful face, which is respect for strong people.
To be honest, when I was brought to the fog village, I didn't expect myself to have a day here.
Just as the woodman turned around, he was suddenly resmured again.
The woodman with a doubtful look, turned to the right, and the eyes did not start the nervousness.
"Right, I almost forgot one thing."
"I have a sentence for the Lei Ying, there is no meaningful battle, except for casualties, there is no effect."
The right fight is still with a gentle smile, and the light is open to the wood man.
From the woodman's expression, his face is rare, and she naturally heard the meaning of the right to talk.
"This sentence I will bring the Lei Ying adult for the right fight."
"However, according to my understanding of Lei Ying and Yun Yin Village, Lei Ying adults will never compromise and succumb."
It is a serious look that the wood is not humble, and it has taken a look at the right, and turned around and disappeared in the field of view.
"This era is like a horses that take off the reins. It will be crushing in front of it, will be smashed by the Pentium. Wood leaves are the first, and it will never be the last one."
Right fighting looks at the direction of disappearing by the wood, whisper muttering.
"It's a terrible thought."
The bubble shook his head and waved on the side.
Listening to the spoons of the foam, the right boused just smiled and looked at the past.
"It seems that I can't stay in the future."
The foam is with some lazy look, and I can't help but support forehead.
In the past, because he is a columnal relationship, it doesn't need to do anything, plus two people from the wood and Fu Fu, his mission is to look at them.
Nowadays, it has left the wood and Fu, and he has no shackles in the tail beast, obviously will not be so releasing to the previous
"You also know, recently the lack of people in the village, it is very ..."
The right bumper is bullied, and the sighs sighs to look at the bubble, and there is a look that you want to complain.
"Okay, I need to say it directly."
I can't help my mouth, and I am busy interruption, I will open the mouth directly.
"Cough, there is no matter."
"There is a family who lives in the mountains in the mountains, known as the family of the soil spider, rumors, has a secret motley that can take advantage of natural energy. So I want to send you to check it out."
The right bumper coughed, pulled out a scroll from the arms and threw the past.
The foam passes through the reel, and the spool is writing a variety of intelligence on the soil spider family. Seeing this, the bubble eyelid is hop.
It seems that the right tricks, this is not a temporary,
The foam is free of expression.
"Don't use this expression, the task is not anxious, and maybe, in this task process, there may be what interesting things will happen."
The right fight with inexplicable smiles and look at the foam.
However, for the right, the foam is obviously not tributing, standing from the seat, stretching a lazy waist.
"Since the task is not anxious, then I will go back to make up."
The bubble grabs the hair, turned and slowly walked to the store.
Seeing this scene, the right boused can only laugh and shake his head.
At this moment, the other side.
Rushing village.
The rain in the village is shrouded in the village, but is a bright moonlight.
Among the interpersonal lanes, a slight space fluctuation suddenly came back, followed by a spatial vortex in the small alley.
From Unesope Belt and Sasuke, from the spatial vortex, the two stood on the ground.
"I didn't expect to sneak into the way."
Sasuke first is cautious, and then a little wonderful whisperway is slightly smoldering.
"It is indeed a little relaxed, but this is normal, lost the round look, the strength of the long door is the ultimate."
Yuxi Bo has a calm look with a calm look and laughs.
Yuxi Bo belt and Sasuke two people, after observing a four-week situation, quickly disappearing.
As a member of the organization, Yisi Bo belt soil is in short, naturally familiar with the environment around the surrounding environment.
Coupled with the role of space, Unechebra and Sasukes did not encounter any obstacles all the way, and quickly close to the hinterland of the rain.
Just.
As two are more hungry close, no matter what is Unexpello, or Sasuke, I can't help but frown, because the sate of the two is too smooth.
Successful, there are some suspicion of Unecho, which is skeptical, will this be a trap?
But knowing that the two are preparing to sneak into the rain, this thing is temporarily decided, and only two people do not reveal the possibility of the message, there is no other trap.

The BMW Group has extended its run of success in the International Engine of the Year Awards by recording two more class wins. The company's latest distinctions in the globally renowned competition came courtesy of two drive units which bring sporty performance characteristics to current BMW and MINI vehicles in particularly efficient style.
In a repeat of last year, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology fitted in models including the BMW 1 Series, BMW 3 Series and BMW 5 Series finished top of its displacement category. And the 1.6-litre four-cylinder MINI TwinPower Turbo engine from the MINI Cooper S went one better, celebrating its third class win in a row. The Engine of the Year Awards were presented on 5 June 2013 at the Engine Expo fair in Stuttgart.
Instantaneous power delivery and a level of efficiency unmatched by any rival were the cornerstones of the BMW Group's successful showing in the Engine of the Year Awards. The winners in each category and overall are decided by an international jury, made up this year of 84 motoring journalists from 35 countries. The company's success in two categories of the International Engine of the Year Awards represents further evidence of its globally recognised development expertise in the area of drive system technology. Since 1999, the BMW Group has racked up over 60 class and overall wins in the competition.
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology once again provided the key to success in the 1.8 – 2.0-litre displacement class. In the winning BMW four-cylinder engine this package of technology comprises a twin-scroll turbocharger, High Precision Direct Injection and BMW Valvetronic fully variable valve control. The 180 kW/245 hp version of the engine is used to power the BMW 328i, BMW 528i, BMW Z4 sDrive28i, BMW X3 xDrive28i and BMW X1 xDrive28i.
The other class conqueror in the BMW Group's engine line-up also won over the Engine of the Year Awards jury – for the third consecutive year – with its impressive balance of sports performance and economy. The 1.6-litre four-cylinder MINI TwinPower Turbo unit, again the dominant force in the 1.4 – 1.8-litre category, boasts twin-scroll turbocharging with an overboost function, direct petrol injection and valve control based on the Valvetronic system. Its maximum output of 135 kW/184 hp enables the MINI Cooper S to accelerate from 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.0 seconds and deliver average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres (48.7 mpg imp). This highly efficient drive unit is now also available for the MINI Cooper S Countryman and MINI Cooper S Paceman, where it can be combined with the ALL4 all-wheel-drive system.

Is there a song that features a diva of high caliber like Jennifer Hudson, and a constantly in trouble rapper like Iggy Azalea in one music video? Yes, my friends, there is. In February of last year, a video called "Trouble" was released on YouTube. Strikingly, there are just things in the industry that can be reasons for celebration while some just don't seem right in any way. In the case of "Trouble," it is ambivalent in so many levels. There are hits while there are also misses. How did the video do? It's cute, but it's awkward.
In doing a video post -"Telephone," artists should be extremely careful because Lady Gaga and Beyoncé intensely mastered the art of utilizing policemen and lawbreakers as characters. If artists want the same theme, they should be careful not to look substandard in comparison. Again, "Trouble" is cute. At certain points, Azalea is really likable in what she does. However, the video is half-baked. It has a great concept, but it really is not executed well. The linear approach in the video's narrative did not really help in intensifying the plot. It's as though someone just wakes up in the morning and decided to visit the jail.
One great thing, though, about the video is the cinematography. It's perky as pink can be. However, is it not too similar to what Christina Aguilera did in "Your Body?" So, we now have two great problems in the video. It tackles the "Telephone" dilemma while using the "Your Body's" cinematic technique. The fusion, however, of the two music video classics only expose the shortcomings of "Trouble" in coming up to its own as a great music video.
Nonetheless, Hudson in the video is truly refreshing that viewers can already forget it is essentially an Azalea track, after all. Hudson delivers a solid characterization of the policewoman, while not losing her superior diva presence. Azalea, for her part, is fair but did not really come close to how Hudson delivers her role.
As a song, "Trouble" is fun to listen to. But, like the video, it does not really reach a climax. No specific standout moment would make it different from other cutesy songs out there. However, this time, we have to commend Azalea for coming up with fairly decent lyrics. Or should we just thank Hudson for elevating the song to another notch?

Les ruées vers l'or en Australie ont commencé en 1851, lorsqu'un prospecteur, Edward Hammond Hargraves revendiqua avoir découvert de l'or près de Bathurst, en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, en un lieu qu'il appela Ophir. Six mois plus tard, de l'or était trouvé au Victoria, d'abord à Warrandyte et Ballarat puis, un peu plus tard, à Bendigo Creek. De l'or a été trouvé plus tard dans toutes les autres colonies australiennes (connues plus tard comme des États ou Territoires). Quelques-unes des plus grosses pépites y sont découvertes : en 1858, une pépite de  et en 1869, la plus grosse pépite jamais trouvée, la Welcome Stranger, de . En 1872, le plus gros amas d'or, mêlé de quartz, est découvert à Hill Hend. Il pèse .

Durant les années 1850 et 1860, de nombreux chercheurs d'or, déçus de la Californie, sont attirés par la facilité de la prospection : la poussière d'or jonche parfois le sol et les grosses pépites sont courantes. Ceci provoque une rapide expansion de la population qui passe en dix ans de  à  d'habitants et un début de développement économique. Des bourses pour l'échange des valeurs des sociétés minières sont ouvertes, notamment celle de Charters Towers qui devient pour quelques années l'une des plus grandes bourses du monde. Cette rapide croissance provoque aussi certaines tensions sociales - comme la rébellion d'Eureka Stockade en 1854 - ce qui a accéléré l'introduction du suffrage universel au Victoria et peut être considéré comme la première expression d'un sentiment national. Au cours de cette période d'euphorie des années 1850 et 1860, on commença la construction d'un grand nombre de bâtiments institutionnels dans des villes comme Melbourne et Geelong.

Les bushrangers connurent certainement leur apogée à l'époque de la ruée vers l'or.

En 1881, de l'or est trouvé dans le désert, ce qui conduit  à migrer vers Perth dans l'espoir de faire fortune. Toutes ne restent pas mais l'afflux de main d'œuvre contribue au développement de la ville.

D'autres ruées vers l'or ont eu lieu en Australie, notamment en 1910 et 1950. Dans les années 2010, une émission de téléréalité suit des chercheurs d'or australiens pendant plusieurs saisons.

आयुष्मान भारत योजना की समीक्षा - एक प्रभावी स्कीम या एक और असफलता ?
Ayushman Bharat Yojana or Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana is a flagship scheme of the Modi government which was launched to provide proper healthcare to all the poor citizens. But here we are going to tell you the detailed analysis of the PMJAY scheme and whether this scheme is a success or failure.
As this is a much hyped mega health insurance scheme and gained lot of popularity since its announcement by PM Modi from Lal Qila, people must know its actual details and its operational procedure. Under this scheme, the central govt. provide cashless treatment upto Rs. 5 lakh to 50 crore people.
Even the difficulties faced by the people while getting cashless treatment at the empanelled hospitals are mentioned in this post. Here we are listing the advantages and disadvantages of Ayushman Bharat – PM Jan Arogya Yojana.
The number of hospitals empanelled under Ayushman Bharat Yojana are lesser. PMJAY is an optional scheme for the hospitals i.e it gives the private hospitals a choice to become empanelled or not. So, a large number of private hospitals are staying out and are not opting for the scheme. This is because the package rates are fixed for the treatment procedure which hospitals believe are not sufficient. Therefore, a large number of people who wants treatment in these specific hospitals are not getting AB-PMJAY scheme benefits. In our opinion, the central govt. must make it compulsory for all the hospitals to get empanelled in these hospitals.
People does not have the basic knowledge about the operational guidelines of the scheme. Poor people are getting Ayushman Bharat e-Cards at home, but are unaware of what to do with these health insurance cards. At all the empanelled hospitals, Arogya Mitras are not present even during the daytime which is causing problems to a large number of people. So, there must be an authority which should keep a check on these Arogya Mitras whether they are discharging their duties with utmost sincerity or not.
Some people and websites are asking for money to include the name of non-beneficiaries in the Ayushman Bharat Scheme. It is imperative to note that Ayushman Bharat Yojana is an eligibility based scheme and its beneficiaries are already identified by the central government. The complete list of PMJAY beneficiaries is available at mera.pmjay.gov.in website under Am i eligible section. People must not fell prey to such unauthorized people and fraudulent websites which are asking for money as there is no application procedure for PMJAY enrollment.
Some empanelled hospitals are creating patients on their own and are doing fraud. This is a reality as those people who are completely alright and their name appears in the SECC 2011 data are doing contracts with the hospitals. The contract is about the treatment that the hospitals will show that the person is ill and requires treatment and person is admitted in their hospitals. Then these hospitals make huge bills of treatment and gets it from the government and the person gets margin (10% or 20% of the total bill) from the hospitals. Thus this type of corruption in Ayushman Bharat Scheme is preventing its benefits to reach the needy people (intended beneficiaries).
Another major disadvantage is that OPD fees for consulting doctors is not included under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana package. Moreover, people must remain admitted in the hospitals for at-least 2 days to claim scheme benefits which is a drawback. In case of minor diseases like fever which can be treated with medicines only are not included in this scheme.
The primary objective behind the launch of Modicare scheme was to provide cashless treatment upto Rs. 5 lakh to all poor families. So, the central govt. has fixed a minimum requirement that in case the name of the family appears in the SECC 2011 list, then all such people can avail free treatment at govt. / private hospitals. Around 10 crore families (over 50 crore people) are included in this scheme.
As of 3rd April 2019, the official data states that around 15,291 hospitals have been empanelled under PM Jan Arogya Yojana. In addition to this, more than 18.35 lakh beneficiaries have been admitted at various empanelled hospitals and the central govt. has already issued more than 2.89 crore e-cards.
Modicare scheme has many benefits such as it includes all the pre-existing diseases. The coverage of PMJAY scheme also includes diagnosis, operation, treatment fees along with pre-hospitalization and post hospitalization charges in some cases. The list of those things which are outside the scope of treatment is very small.
So in our opinion, this health insurance scheme is launched with good intention and to provide treatment to every poor people. But some people are trying to rule out its advantages and make it a failure. The central government has issued complete guidelines about every aspect of this scheme but has not reached to all the people. Accordingly, there is a need to create mass awareness about the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and to let people know that how could they get benefits of this scheme. In the near future, if the scheme is implemented correctly without corruption practices then it would be a completely successful and worlds largest healthcare scheme. But in case the scheme is not implemented properly, then it would be a failure and would become like one of the many other previous government healthcare schemes.

Marilyn On Location … in Phoenix, Arizona
marina72 May 5, 2021 May 5, 2021 Addresses and Locations, Movies
Marilyn perches on Don Murray's shoulder in downtown Phoenix (Photo by Dennis Stock)
On March 15, 1956, Marilyn arrived in Phoenix, Arizona to film scenes for Bus Stop. In a recent article, the Lonely Planet travel guide noted that the Westward Ho Tower, seen in the photo above, is still standing today.
"Westward Ho Tower appeared in 1956's Bus Stop starring Marilyn Monroe and 1972's Pocket Money starring Paul Newman. A beloved Phoenix landmark, this beautiful 15-story hotel has weathered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune since its construction in 1928. Once frequented by celebrities and politicians (JFK gave a public address here in 1961), it fell into disuse in the late 1970s and was reborn as low-cost housing for the elderly."
Of course, the main purpose of the Arizona shoot was to capture the annual rodeo festival, as noted on the Movie Locations website.
Marilyn with Eileen Heckart in the rodeo scene
"In Downtown Phoenix, Bo (Don Murray) and Cherie (Marilyn Monroe) watch the pre-rodeo parade on North Central Avenue as it passes the Hotel Westward Ho, 618 North Central Avenue at West Fillmore Street, with its still-recognisable Spanish-Baroque frontage. The Westward Ho is now a residential block, although it does briefly pose as a hotel again for Marion and Sam's lunchtime canoodling in Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot 1998 revisiting of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.
Cherie and her friend Vera (Eileen Heckart) watch the rodeo action from the sun-blasted bleachers rather than the shade of the 5,000 seat Grandstand of the Arizona State Fairgrounds, 1826 West McDowell Road, northwest of Downtown Phoenix. The 1937 Grandstand Arena can still be seen to the north of the grounds, on North 19th Avenue.
Don't go looking for the lovely old gingerbread houses where Bo finds Cherie's lodgings. They were demolished in 1966, though were never in Phoenix to begin with. Surprisingly, they're the old wooden buildings of Bunker Hill, downtown Los Angeles."
While in Phoenix, Marilyn stayed at the Sahara Motor Inn. Later renamed as the Phoenix Ramada, the building was demolished in 2010 to make way for a new law school (see here.)
"The Sahara Motor Inn, later called the Ramada Inn, is an urban oasis that rose from the sand like a mirage in Downtown Phoenix, complete with a sparkling pool, restaurant, cafe, bar, 175 guest rooms, gift shop, two large terrace suites for hosting parties and meetings, and two apartment penthouses … These mini-resorts defined Phoenix in the 1950s by bringing resort-style amenities to the middle class. These mini resorts even attracted celebrities. Marilyn Monroe herself lodged in one of the penthouse suites in the Sahara while filming Bus Stop."
And finally, here's a brief clip from Marilyn's photographer and business partner Milton Greene, documenting her arrival in the city.

About the Prizes
The Passing of Dr. Robert Elsie
Post author By The Society for Albanian Studies
No Comments on The Passing of Dr. Robert Elsie
Dear members and friends,
It is with great sadness that today I learned of the passing of Dr. Robert Elsie. Dr. Elsie needs no introduction. He was not only a scholar and a giant, but an institution of Albanian Studies for over 30 years.
His legacy includes over sixty books, including the most recent Albanian Alphabets: Borrowed and Invented (2017) and The Tribes of Albania: History, Society and Culture (2015) as well as translations of Jeton Neziraj: The Demolition of the Eiffel Tower: A Comedy of the Absurd for Four Actors (2017), and the three volume set of Michael Schmidt-Neke: chronology of an Albanian quarter of a century (1990-2015) (2016). He is the author of the magisterial Biographical Dictionary of Albanian History (2013), Historical Dictionary of Kosovo (2011), and Historical Dictionary of Albania (2010) among many, many other books.
In addition to being a translator himself, Dr. Elsie's own work has been translated into dozens of languages. His personal website, elsie.de, remains one of the greatest resources for Albanian Studies online and perhaps unmatched by any non-virtual institution.
The Tirana Times pays a full biographical tribute to Dr. Elsie here.
While having communicated with Dr. Elsie on many occasions, I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Elsie many years ago when I was a graduate student at the University of Michigan, where he came to give a lecture. He was a delightful, open-hearted, generous man. Most recently, I communicated with him about our book award. He graciously accepted my invitation to become a member of the Society for Albanian Studies, calling it "an honor."
No words can describe the immensity of this loss. On behalf of the Society for Albanian Studies, I extend my deepest condolences to his family, dearest friends and colleagues, and the scholarly community in Albanian Studies and beyond.
We will hold an In Memoriam for Dr. Elsie at our next meeting at ASEEES in Chicago. We will also plan a series of future commemorative events to remember the life and legacy of Dr. Elsie.
