A trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the largest square in the entire city. The Place de la Concorde is 86,400 square meters large and is found between the Champs-Elysées and the Tuileries Garden. As a result, sightseers can discover several Parisian landmarks all at once.
Historically, the Place de la Concorde was nothing more than a small esplanade with two drainage canals running alongside it. In 1748, the City of Paris decided to erect a statue of Louis XV on the esplanade in order to celebrate the king's recovery from an illness he had acquired in Metz. Pleased with this project, the king saw to it that the esplanade would become a royal square, with the spaces and facades to be more ornately decorated in line with the grandiosity of his name.
The grand project began in the late 1750s and was not finished until 1772. Then, in the 1780s and 1790s, the Place de la Concorde became the scene of many royal executions, including those of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. After the Reign of Terror waged against the royals ended in the late 18th century, the Place de la Concorde once again became a spot for beauty and grandiosity. As such, in 1831 when the viceroy of Egypt presented France with two immense obelisks as a gift, one of the monuments was installed in this square, where it remains today.
Between 1836 and 1846, the Place saw further augmentations in the form of two symbolic fountains, one on each side of the obelisk. In addition to the statues and fountains that make the Place de la Concorde extraordinary, the square also features a giant ferris wheel during the fall and winter months — providing a magical bird's eye view of the City of Light.


It's the night before Teri, Danielle, and Cindy are going to a concert in Atlantic City.
Teri: Cindy, what in the hell is wrong with you? You look like Casper the unfriendly ghost!
Cindy: Do I really look that bad?
Teri: I honestly can't even tell that you're alive right now. You look like a corpse.
Cindy: Can you get me the thermometer?
Teri: No. I'm asking mom.
Teri: Because I have a concert to go to tomorrow and I don't want to get your germs all over me. Who cares if mom gets covered in Cindy germs?
Cindy: I think mom would care.
Teri (shouting): Mom, bring the thermometer here! Cindy needs it!
Betty (shouting): On my way!
Cindy: You treat her so terribly sometimes.
Teri: She's fine with it.
Cindy: But she shouldn't need to be. She's on crutches and you're making her hobble in here because you don't want to take the risk of getting sick!
Teri: I have to be honest. I totally forgot that she was on crutches. I've been so worried about the concert.
Cindy: You should worry about mom too.
Teri: Come on Cindy, it's not like you've been focusing mainly on mom either. You've barely even been home lately.
Cindy: I've been volunteering at the church for the past few weeks since the school's been dealing with that black mold-asbestos double punch. I can't help it that I lose track of time when I'm helping the needy!
Teri: Bull. You and Helen McCreedy are just gossiping all night.
Cindy: I'm sick, you shouldn't be so hostile to me.
Teri: Oh, so you're playing that card.
Cindy: Go help her. I'm sick.
Teri rushes into the bathroom to find Betty on the floor.
Betty: I came in here to get the thermometer, and I think I set one of the crutches in some water and slipped.
Teri: Someone didn't clean up their mess after they showered. Family meeting!
Cindy: Can you at least bring me the thermometer first?
Teri: No time! Mom, I'm taking you up to bed quickly. You need some rest.
Betty: I could use that.
The entire family gathers in the family room while Betty rests upstairs.
Teri: Alright guys, who took a shower today?
Jerry: Why, do you smell something funky?
Danielle: If that's why you're asking, that smell is just Frank.
Teri: No, that's not it. This is really serious. Mom fell on the bathroom floor.
Tammi: That's awful! Is grandma okay?
Teri: She's fine. A little bruised, but fine. The worst part of it all is that the only reason she fell is because someone didn't clean up the bathroom after they showered and there was water everywhere. So who used the shower today?
Teri: Yeah, it wasn't you.
Teri: And when was that?
Teri: I can't completely eliminate you, but you're probably innocent.
Tammi: I'm innocent for sure! I would never be that messy!
Teri: Alright, I'm not gonna go around asking everyone if they showered today, so I'll re-word the question: Who showered today after noon?
Teri: Come on, someone must've.
Steven: It was me. I ran in to clean myself up after soccer practice and then I heard mom calling for me and I never got to chance to clean up the water from the floor. Please don't be mad at me, I didn't mean to hurt grandma Betty.
Teri: Oh sweetie, don't cry. Nobody's mad at you. You didn't mean to hurt anyone. Just try to be more careful next time, your grandma Betty is very fragile right now.
Steven: Okay Aunt Teri, I'll try.
Teri: I feel so bad for you right now that I'm not even get mad that you called me that.
Cindy: Can someone please bring me the thermometer?
Teri: We are having a teaching moment right now, Cindy!
Cindy: I don't hear Frank talking, can't he bring it to me?
Teri: Frank can't do anything right, he'd certainly met up a task as complex as picking up a thermometer and walking it ten feet into your room.
Frank: Hey! I'll help you Cindy.
Frank brings Cindy the thermometer.
Teri: We'll never hear those words uttered again in this house!
Cindy: Oh my god! 102.3! Teri, can you come here really quickly?
Teri walks to Cindy's room and shuts the door.
Teri: So, what did you want?
Cindy: I don't think I can go to the concert tomorrow.
Teri: What? But we've been excited for this for months! We were gonna have a fun girls weekend!
Cindy: I know. But I'm too sick to go.
Cindy: Yes. Just go enjoy the concert, don't worry about me. See if you can find someone else to go. It's too much money to lose.
Teri: Who would go? I don't want to take mom, she's a disaster right now with her broken leg. She would never let dad go without her. Tammi and Frank are going to that church summit. Me and Danielle would murder Jerry if we had to be alone with him for four days. Jerry has that huge catering order that he won't shut up about.
Cindy: Ask Velma! Who wouldn't want to go to a free concert with a free room for four days?
Teri: Have you been to Atlantic City before? Getting to spend four days there isn't exactly a selling point.
Teri: No, it really is not. But I'll ask her.
Cindy: Good. And if she can't go, then I'll push myself to go.
Teri walks out to the living room to talk to Velma.
Teri: Hey Velma, can we talk?
Velma: Sure, what do you want to talk about?
Teri: Alright, do you know about the Fleetwood Mac concert that me, Danielle and Cindy are going to tomorrow?
Velma: Yeah. Do you want me to take care of your fish?
Teri: No. Cindy is probably too sick to go. We wanted you to takeover place so the ticked doesn't want to go.
Teri: What? But it's free!
Teri: Why not? It'll be a fun girls weekend for us!
Velma: I just… don't really like Fleetwood Mac all that much.
Teri: Who the hell cares? It's free for you. And it's not like you've got anything going on.
Velma: I just really don't want to go. It's not a concert I really care about seeing.
Velma: But I don't want to go.
Teri: Why don't you like them?
Teri: Alright, fine. Stay home. I'll try to make Cindy go.
Teri: Can you at least take care of my fish?
Teri: Alright Danielle, let's pack our stuff up.
Teri: She's coming. She's just relaxing. Trying to feel better.
Danielle: Well, I hope she gets up soon. Atlantic City is five hours away and the concert starts in nine.
Teri: We have plenty of time, it's alright.
Danielle: You never know what kind of traffic we'll hit near DC or Baltimore. We should wake her up.
Teri: Oh god, I forgot about that. You should go get her up, to I need teach Velma how to feed my fish. She thought it would be more fun to spend the weekend doing that than going on a free trip.
Danielle: You need to teach someone that? How hard is it?
Teri: Not at all hard. But you know Velma.
Danielle runs in to Cindy's room and wakes her up.
Danielle: It's almost time to go. You need to hurry and finish packing.
Cindy: I can't go Danielle. I know I said I'd try but I'm miserable. I'll never make it.
Cindy: I think I'm gonna puke my guts out.
Danielle: Well that is not good.
Cindy: I know. Maybe ask Velma again.
Danielle: Eh, maybe. You just rest and don't worry about it.
Cindy: Oh god! It's coming!
Danielle: Teri! I have bad news.
Danielle: Cindy is currently hurling in the bathroom.
Danielle: I know. It's a complete disaster.
Teri: I think I'm gonna have a panic attack.
Danielle: Calm down, we'll get there.
Teri: No we won't, we're gonna waste one ticket for sure and if we screw around here for much longer, we're gonna waste two more.
Danielle: Teri, we're gonna get there.
Teri: I wish you were right, but we don't have time. I'm not even bothering.
Teri rushes out of the room to sit on the front porch alone.
Velma: What is her problem?
Danielle: Oh, shut it Velma. You're the reason we're not already on the road! If you just would have agreed to a fun weekend together, we'd already be halfway there and this freakout wouldn't have even happened.
Velma: That is not fair. I'm agreeing to watch her fish. I'm a good person!
Just then, Betty walks by.
Danielle: Cindy is throwing up and now she can't go to the concert with us.
Danielle: Um, let me go ask Teri.
Danielle walks out to the porch to talk to Teri.
Teri (crying hysterically): I just… I just want to go see my favorite band one last time. And now I'm not gonna.
Danielle: We're gonna go. Your mom offered to go.
Teri: Oh god no. That's so much worse.
Danielle: Why would that be worse?
Teri: Because I'm going to spend my whole weekend worrying about her. She's on crutches, and she's mildly insane, and I'm just afraid that it's too much for her so soon after she broke her leg.
Danielle: I'll be there to help you. We can both manage her crazy together. Plus, we don't have many other options.
Teri: Alright. Let's get going.
Teri and Danielle walk back inside.
Teri: Mom, get your bags packed so we can go. You're coming with.
Betty: Oh, I've had my bags packed for weeks. Just in case something like this happens.
Teri: Oh mom. You never cease to amaze me. Let's get going.
Danielle: I'm driving, Teri. Your heart nearly burst out of your chest about 15 minutes ago.
Danielle: Alright Teri. Explain to me why we're about to go on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
Teri: Okay, so, remember how you were complaining about having to go to DC and Baltimore.
Teri: Well, I figured we could avoid them both if we went through the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware.
Danielle: That just made this trip two hours longer!
Betty: I don't mean to interrupt this conversation, but I really have to pee.
Danielle: Betty, we're on a bridge.
Betty: We're on a bridge? Oh god no!
Danielle: What's she freaking out about?
Teri: Mom is deathly afraid of bridges.
Danielle: Don't worry Betty. We're about to go in a tunnel!
Danielle: The tunnel underwater, but at least it's not a bridge!
Betty: An underwater tunnel? That's so much worse!
Danielle: Teri, has your mother ever gone anywhere before?
Teri: Yes. Not that you could tell based on how insane she's been acting.
Teri: I'm sorry for making our drive longer! I thought it would help.
Danielle: Well it doesn't, but what's done is done.
Betty: Now that we're off the bridge, can we find a bathroom?
Danielle: Oh crap! Sorry Betty, I completely forgot about that. Yes, we'll find a bathroom.
Teri: Can't you wait another five hours? Atlantic City is one giant bathroom, you can go anywhere there!
Betty: That's not funny Teri. I have to go now!
Teri: I thought it was pretty funny.
Danielle: Yeah, it was funny.
Teri: Don't you care what the haters are gonna do?
Danielle: No! No, I really do not.
Teri: That's because you're just a hater.
Betty: I still have to use the bathroom!
Danielle: I'm getting off the road now, there's a McDonald's just off the highway.
Teri: Maybe we should eat something while we're there.
Danielle: No, it's too early. We only have the time for one food stop and there's no way we'll make it through the rest of the day if we eat now. It's only 2.
Teri: Alright, but I'm hungry so I'm gonna get a bag of chips out of the trunk if nobody minds.
Danielle: You know, I don't usually let anyone eat in my car, but go ahead.
Danielle: What did you do?
Teri: I spilled some chips on the floor.
Teri: Most of the bag. You hit that pothole and everything just flew.
Danielle: What is it Betty?
Betty: I think I have to pee again.
Betty: I can't! I just drank a whole Shamrock Shake!
Danielle: Maybe that wasn't a great idea to buy.
Danielle: Guys, the chips on the floor aren't our biggest concern anymore.
Danielle: Look ahead of us.
Teri: What is that mess?
Danielle: Traffic. Just, regular traffic. Didn't think we'd hit that since we're in Delaware, and who the hell comes to Delaware in March, but we're gonna be here for awhile.
Teri: Are you gonna make it to the concert?
Danielle: I really don't know.
Teri: Can I see your phone, mom?
Teri throws Betty's phone in the glove compartment.
Betty: Hey! What was that for?
Teri: That's what I think about Velma's phone call.
Betty: Can I have it back?
Danielle: Just give her the phone. This is gonna be a long, long time.
Teri: Please lord, just let us make it to Atlantic City in time.
Danielle: Never thought I'd hear someone pray to the lord for them to make it to Atlantic City, but first time for everything.

Without Federal Help, Puerto Rico Will Have a Food Crisis

About 1.4 million people in Puerto Rico depend on the Nutrition Assistance Program (NAP) to supplement their ability to buy food for their families. The program is set to run out of money next month.
Per an analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan policy and research organization, one-third of the food benefits distributed to a staggering 1.3 million people will be cut, if Congress doesn't approve another block grant for NAP. It is Puerto Rico's version of SNAP (the supplemental food benefit program which functions here on the mainland). To make matters worse, 100,000 people on the island will lose the benefit altogether.
According to the analysis, the maximum food assistance for a family of four could decline from $649 a month to $410, for example.
"This isn't money that Puerto Rico is using for some vanity project. It's not like a shiny new terminal at an airport. It's literally money for the most basic of needs which, in this case, is food," Javier Balmaceda, a senior policy analyst at the CBPP, said.
Although Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, the island and its people are often treated poorly in respect to policies. Puerto Rico used to participate in the Food Stamp Program (FSP), but that changed in 1982.
The NAP program puts Puerto Rico at an unfortunate disadvantage, though. Because the money is distributed in block grants, there are funding caps that cannot be increased, even if demand requires it.
The federal government approved nearly $1.27 billion in additional NAP funding to help meet the increased demand for food benefits, following the devastation caused by hurricanes Maria and Irma. The Puerto Rican government has requested an additional $600 million.
Although both parties in the House and Senate want to approve the funding, the White House is adamantly against giving Puerto Rico any more money.
The Trump administration has called the request "excessive and unnecessary."
Given the fact that Puerto Rico still hasn't recovered from the harrowing effects of both hurricanes, it's diabolical to think that this administration would even consider adding further stress to an already dire situation. Holding food, which is one of the three basic needs of all people, over American citizens' heads is reprehensible.

What does justice mean for Ferguson?
By Mark O'Mara
updated 7:11 PM EST, Thu November 6, 2014
Grand jury hearing Michael Brown case; some believe there won't be indictment
Mark O'Mara says it's important to let the process play out
Case should be decided on the facts, not as a proxy for racial justice issues, he says
Editor's note: Mark O'Mara is a CNN legal analyst and a criminal defense attorney. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- The Michael Brown case has great significance because it is yet another in a growing line of tragedies that further demand a conversation about our civil liberties within the criminal justice system.
It has highlighted a massive lack of trust that exists between police and minorities. We must face the inconsistencies and the biases that remain if we are ever to move towards a system worthy of the trust it needs to succeed. Only by doing so can we end the devastating loss of life that is becoming an all-too-common occurrence.
We have another opportunity to become focused on and vocal about the changes that are necessary. It is only by bringing those problems to the forefront and into the harsh light of constant and public critique that we can hope to make a better system.
Mark O'Mara
I still contend our criminal justice system is the best in the world for dispensing true justice, but, like every facet of the American democratic experience, it can use polishing. However, I reject the notion that the system is incapable of dispensing justice in cases where young, unarmed black men and women are killed.
With my experience representing George Zimmerman as a backdrop, I've been following a number of cases that have overtones of Ferguson, and I know that we have made progress:
Earlier this month, Michael Dunn received a life sentence for the murder of Jordan Davis in the so-called "loud music" trial.
In January, a grand jury indicted Officer Randall Kerrick on voluntary manslaughter charges after fatally shooting unarmed Jonathan Ferrell.
And on August 7, a jury in Michigan convicted Ted Wafer of second-degree murder for shooting Renisha McBride on his front porch. The verdict came just two days before the Michael Brown shooting. Black victims, white shooters.
Ferguson chief: I'm focusing on the job
Certain commentators have suggested we should skip the grand jury and that Officer Darren Wilson must be tried before a jury.
While I laud the idea of having open trials, thereby allowing the public to view that the process works fairly, it is dangerous to short-circuit justice because of media attention or social pressure.
We gave the Ferguson shooting an enhanced social significance before we knew all the facts of the case, facts we still don't know. The grand jury should not consider the broader social issues; they should focus on the facts. And if they decide, solely on the facts, to indict Wilson, only then should he stand trial.
But in light of the recent press leaks regarding evidence in the case, most now suggest an indictment is not likely.
I fear that those who equate justice with nothing other than an indictment of Wilson are allowing deep-seated predispositions against the system to infect how they define justice.
We should not be asking for reparations at the cost of putting a thumb on the scales of justice in favor of convicting, or even charging, someone who does not, based upon the facts as viewed dispassionately, deserve it.
I do not suggest trust in this system merely to quell the voices of criticism or to forestall the feelings of frustration. Rather I contend it is the only answer.
So, what happens if the grand jury decides not to indict Darren Wilson? District Attorney McCullough committed that he will release all of the transcripts of the proceedings. This will give all the witness testimony, forensic evidence, and other information presented from which they decided not to indict. Transparency here is absolutely necessary. The Federal officials should not interfere with that release.
If Wilson is not charged, there will, undoubtedly, be a backlash. Many people consider an indictment as a step for justice -- not only in this individual case -- but in the larger effort of balancing the racial inequities in our justice system.
Conversely, a failure to indict Wilson will be seen as an indictment of the system. But that point of view is not only wrong, it is dangerous.
I fear that pinning significant civil rights issues to the facts of this case may serve only to foster more mistrust in the system. It will create a greater racial divide, and it will create another generation of disenfranchised young black men and women who are less willing to become police officers or legislators or attorneys or judges at the very time that we need their leadership most.
If the grand jury decides not to indict, they will do so because they concluded Officer Darren Wilson's shooting to be justified based upon his and Michael Brown's actions. While it is considered callous and insensitive to review the actions of a deceased person, it does none of us any good to ignore facts, should they exist. By doing so, we lose the lessons that may be learned from a dispassionate analysis of what actually happened that day, not what we as individuals, or we as communities, want to believe happened.
The decision to indict or not can be a catalyst for us to move further apart, or it can be seen as an opportunity to critically analyze how these tragedies are occurring and how to stop them in the future. That choice, no matter how it may go against the grain of our emotions, is a voluntary one, but we must decide on the latter.

Q: How to create a login-screen replacement for Ubuntu I'm interested in writing a replacement login screen for Ubuntu that would present the user with a puzzle rather than prompt for a password. I'm looking for some advice on how to go about creating this. I'm a programmer by profession with years of experience, but am not familiar enough with Linux application programming to know how to begin this particular project. Thank you!

A: You could probably do this as an authentication module for PAM (Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules).
PAM is configured in configuration files in /etc/pam.d. Each file in this directory defines a PAM service by specifying a set of PAM modules and how they should work together. You could write a new authentication module and replace the current authentication module in the services where you want to use the new login scheme.

A: The "best" way to do this may be to create a PAM module. This is how things like fingerprint identification are implemented. It will allow you to keep the same login screen with all the features such as accessibility options, etc.
The "easiest" way to do it may be to modify an existing display manager. Ubuntu uses GDM (Gnome Display Manager) by default, but it's pretty complicated. SLiM is a simple display manager that you can probably modify without much difficulty.

ongoing IT Infrastrcuture About Airbus Defence & Space Airbus Defence and Space SAS is a division of Airbus responsible for defence and aerospace products and services.
In August 2007, the Al Yah Satellite Communications Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi government's strategic investment and development firm, Mubadala Development Company, awarded a contract to a joint Astrium–Thales Alenia Space team to provide a dual (government and commercial) satellite communications system. The Yahsat system comprises two large satellites, Yahsat 1A and Yahsat 1B, to be delivered in orbit, and the associated ground infrastructure. Astrium, the leading partner, is the prime contractor for the ground segment, in charge of the overall system and network management. Yahsat provides customers with innovative solutions for broadcasting services, internet trunking via satellite, corporate data networks and backhauling services to telecom operators. The Yahsat satellites fulfil the satellite communications requirements of both government and commercial customers in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and South West Asia.
In order to deliver this mega program to Yahsat, Astrium teamed up with TEXPO in year 2010 to provide their skilled engineers & technicians to begin the design & installation of complex network system at these Satellite Stations. TEXPO's skilled resources helped and assist the Astrium team with the infrastructure implementation of the Satellite Ground Station and as well as to install, upgrade & support the active components, small satellite antennas and satellite equipment on various UAE military vehicles & sites. Through the dedication, wealth of knowledge and sharp skills provided by TEXPO, the Satellite Ground Station was successfully developed and the first satellite, Yahsat 1A, was proudly launched into the orbit in April 2011. Precisely one year later, Yatsat 1B was successfully launched as well and is expected to remain in orbit for the next 15 years.
To this date, TEXPO is knee deep and fully involved with Astrium to support and maintain the Satellite Ground Station, and working to install and upgrade the communication equipment.

Q: Why is it that when I move a value into ax, and use div it won't work in TASM? I am a beginner in assembly and I wanted to make a function to get an integer from the user which is getint. I also wanted to make a function to print an integer which is printint. I did many tests and I found that once I use getint and try to use printint I will send the integer to printint via the stack and then in printint I pop it into ax, but then when I use div with ax it doesn't work. For example say the number in ax is 22 and then I do cmp dl, 2 je exit after using div(je exit would be on the next line it won't work). Can someone tell me what to do to fix this? I would have put all my code but I know that this is the problem. I also pointed out the div statement I was talking about it is towards the end.
main:   call getint
    push dx ;the return value for getint is in dx
    call printInt
    jmp done3

getint: pop si ;put the return address in si
    xor bx, bx ; make bx zero
    call getche ;get the first digit
cmp dl, 13 ;if enter was not pressed then continue
je done
sub dx, 48 ;subtract 48 becuase the number is in ascii
mov bx, dx ;move the number into bx

loop1:
    call getche ;get the next digit
    cmp dl, 0Dh ;check to see if enter was pressed
    je done
    sub dx, 48 ;subtract 48 in because the number is in ascii
    mov cx, dx ; move the value from getche into cx
    mov ax, 10
    mul bx ;multiply the origional value of bx by 10
    mov bx, ax ; move the product into bx
    add bx, cx ;move
    jmp loop1

done:   mov dx, bx ;put the return value in dx
     jmp si ;jump back to the address the function was called from

printInt:
pop si; put the address in si
pop ax ;put the number sent into ax, the correct number does actually get stored into ax but for some reason the division does not work correctly
cmp al, 0 ;check if the number to print is 0
je itszerofirst ;just a label it will jump to if the condition is true
mov di, 1 ;di will be our counter
mov dx, 0
mov cx, 10 ;this is the division I was talking about where it doesn't work
div cx       ; Divides ax by 10. DX = remainder and AX = other digits
add dx, 48
push dx

My work ranges from loose, coloured drawings executed on site, to watercolour and mixed media paintings produced back in the studio using sketches, photographs and memory. I am inspired by land and seascapes and rather than producing a literal interpretation, I aim to convey the spirit and mood of a place. I am interested in the subtle characteristics of watercolour, the accidental effects achieved by washing out; the marks, textures and edges of the paint. The coast, estuaries, saltmarshes and reed beds of Suffolk and Norfolk, are constant themes in my work.
I trained in textiles at Winchester and Loughborough Colleges of Art between 1972-76 and specialised in weaving. Subsequently I worked as a garden designer and whilst following this career, I became increasingly involved in painting. In 2014, I retired from designing to become a full time painter.

I had always wanted to try tortillas at home and assumed I needed a tortilla press. Since I am not in favor of filling the house with gadgets, I kept postponing the tortilla making process. It turns out that you can roll out flour tortillas, but corn tortillas need to be pressed. The dough is really soft and pliable and it can easily be pressed with a heavy pan or a pie plate like I did. It is easier than the rotis (Indian flatbread) since there is no rolling involved and the tortillas were done in no time. The tortillas were slightly crispy on the edges and soft in the middle and everyone loved the warm tortillas straight off the griddle. We filled it with beans, salsa and cheese. Off to the recipe.
Tasty corn tortillas from scratch.
Make a soft dough with the ingredients and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Keep the dough covered. Make about 12 balls and keep them covered with a damp towel.
Place each ball between two sheets of parchment paper or between two ziploc covers. Using a pie plate or any heavy pan, press until the desired size is obtained.
Place the tortilla on a hot griddle and flip it after about 30 seconds. Flip the tortilla again after a minute or so and when both sides are done, remove from griddle.
Keep tortillas covered with a kitchen towel.
1. It is important to keep the dough covered at all times to prevent the tortillas from cracking when pressed.
2. Masa Harina is a flour used to make tortillas, tamales, etc. You can find it in super markets.
1. Mix the ingredients and knead until the dough is soft. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Keep dough covered with a damp towel. 2. Make small balls of the dough. 3. I have used a pie plate to press the tortilla. Place each ball between two pieces of parchment paper or ziploc cover. Then press it until you have the desired thickness. You can use a tortilla press or any heavy pan. 4. Place the tortilla on a hot griddle. Flip after about 30 seconds or so. 5. Flip again after a minute or so. When both sides are cooked, remove from griddle. Keep the tortillas covered with a kitchen towel.

Texas Senate passes legislation to prevent surprise medical bills with arbitration, mediation
By Elizabeth Byrne, Texas Tribune
The Texas Senate passed a bill Tuesday that could provide relief to Texans slapped with surprise medical bills when health care providers and insurance companies disagree on the costs of medical treatments.
Senate Bill 1264 passed 29-2 with the only dissenting votes coming from two physicians: Republican state Sens. Donna Campbell of New Braunfels and Sen. Charles Schwertner of Georgetown.
Surprise medical bills, also called balance bills, happen when a patient is invoiced for medical costs insurance providers won't pay after a dispute with health care providers. The bill often comes as a surprise to the patient, as some don't realize they've seen an out-of-network provider.
Republican state Sen. Kelly Hancock of North Richland Hills said his bill allows for an arbitration process that takes the patient out of the billing dispute, thus creating no surprise bills. The patient, however, is still responsible for their co-payments, cost-sharing and deductibles.
"The whole premise of this bill is to make sure that we protect patients," Hancock said. "We take them out of the process of balance billing, where they don't have to initiate it."
Under the state's current program to address surprise medical bills, patients must request formal mediation by the Texas Department of Insurance. Once the request is acknowledged by TDI, insurance companies and providers have 30 days to hold an informal telephone conference. If the difference cannot be resolved, then the case is referred to the State Office of Administrative Hearings for formal mediation. TDI has seen an increase in mediation requests for balance billing over the past few years, resulting in a backlog.
"Today's vote means we're one big step closer to ending surprise billing for good," Hancock said in a prepared statement after the vote. "With healthcare costs skyrocketing, this relief can't come soon enough for Texas consumers."
State Sen. Joan Huffman successfully amended the bill allowing Employee Retirement System and Teacher Retirement System recipients to rely on mediation instead of arbitration to prevent an increase in their premiums, she said.
Schwertner offered several amendments, all of them unsuccessful. He said one of the many reasons he opposed the bill was because it allows the attorney general to take action against providers if they intentionally violate the balance bill statutes, but insurance companies are not held to the same standard.
The Senate also passed Senate Bill 1530, which Hancock described as a companion to SB 1264. That bill allows self-funded insurance plans to opt into mediation provided by TDI. Both bills now move to the Texas House.
"Texas Senate passes legislation to prevent surprise medical bills with arbitration, mediation" was first published at https://www.texastribune.org/2019/04/16/texas-senate-passes-bill-combat-surprise-medical-bills/ by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.

Agency staff numbers fall slightly for first time in nine years
by Gurjit Degun April 25, 2019
Agency staff numbers: media agency employees on the up
Media agency staff numbers rise, while creative agency employee base drops.
Staff numbers at agencies has fallen, albeit marginally, for the first time since 2009, falling by 0.6% year on year to 25,142 employees at IPA member agencies.
The trade body's latest Agency Census has revealed that media agencies continue to grow in terms of staff numbers, with an additional 700 employees, or a rise of 7.1%, to 10,985 in 2018.
However, it's a bleaker picture at creative shops and other non-media agencies, where staff levels have fallen by almost 900 – a drop of 5.1% – to 14,157.
Staff turnover has remained static, down slightly by 1.9 percentage points to 30%. The amount of redundancies has risen by 0.6 percentage points to 9.6% at creative and other non-media agencies, and by 0.4 percentage points to 2.5% at media agencies.
The research found that there has been a rise (of 8.5%) in the number of people working part-time or reduced hours to 1,634. The majority of these continue to be women, accounting for 86.8%.
Meanwhile, the average age of employees remained constant at 33.9. Of the total number of employees, 6.2% are aged 50 or over.
The report includes the levels of diversity across the industry, although this was initially published in January.
Roger Ingham, author of the 2018 Agency Census, said: "The results of this year's IPA Agency Census reflect the broader national economic uncertainty over the last few years. Marketing budgets have been tightening for some time, albeit with the exception of this quarter, and therefore it is unsurprising to see the industry in a state of stasis. It is also interesting to see the continued growth of media agencies, reflecting an industry trend that we have seen for a number of years."

Testosterone is a naturally occurring steroidal hormone produced in the testes of males and the ovaries of females. Testosterone plays a vital role in both males and females; both these sexes need testosterone for a healthy functioning body. Testosterone is a highly androgenic/anabolic hormone and plays a vital role in the development of the prostate, testicles, muscle growth and strength. Low testosterone levels can lead to some problems such as; depression, anxiety, weight loss (loss of muscle mass), weak bones, libido problems, etc.
In 1935, two chemists named Butenandt and Ruzicka were the first to synthesize testosterone from cholesterol successfully. Mostly, thanks to Butenandt and Ruzicka, testosterone was now available and successfully administered in injection form. Testosterone propionate was the first testosterone available, but soon after the success of propionate, there were many other forms of testosterone being produced. These different forms of testosterone are generally, all the same, the difference being the different ester attached to the testosterone which gives it a longer or shorter half-life.
With synthetic versions of testosterone now being widely available, it wasn't long before athletes started using it to enhance their performance. The Soviet Union was the first to experiment with this, and throughout the 1950's they dominated most of the Olympic events. It wasn't long after when an American doctor named John Ziegler and his team discovered that the Soviet athletes had been using synthetic forms of testosterone to increase their strength and performance. This lead to Ziegler and his team developing a new anabolic steroid that would be more effective than testosterone at increasing their athletes' performance. This steroid was methandrostenolone (Dianabol) and very quickly became the most used steroid by athletes and bodybuilders.
As with all steroids, there are possible side effects that may result from using testosterone. Many side effects can be reduced or entirely avoided by lowering the dosage or by using certain medications.
For more information on side effects please click here.
Testosterone should always be incorporated into any steroid cycle. Many steroids can give the user libido problems, and this can be fixed by using testosterone. Testosterone dosages can range hugely, depending on the user's goals, experience and sensitivity to this steroid.
For beginners a dosage of 300mg to 500mg a week is more than enough. Intermediate and advanced users will usually take more than this and also use other steroids in their cycle. Always remember, the higher the dosage, the higher the chances of side effects. Taking larger dosages doesn't necessarily mean you will get better results, more is not always better when it comes to steroids.
A users first steroid cycle should always consist of low dosage of testosterone only and then followed by a proper PCT.
The above cycle is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advise.
With over 15 years of experience as a personal trainer, and a vast amount of knowledge on bodybuilding and anabolic steroids. My aim is to provide quality and helpful information.


Compared to the petrochemical production, bioproduction of butanol is now still not economically competitive mainly because of the cost of feedstock which takes up to 70% of the total production cost (Gu et al., 2011). In the traditional butanol fermentative production plants, solventogenic clostridia and cereal (such as corn and wheat) are used as fermentation strains and substrates. However, these sugar and starch based substrates are expensive making the fermentation process nonfeasible. Various low cost and renewable feedstocks have been evaluated for ABE fermentation to decrease the production cost (Table 2).

Fast Facts: The Bureau of Labor Statistics ("BLS") estimates that 4,165,140 are employed in this occupational group earning the "mean annual wage" (as defined below) of $87,880.
If you are interested in assessing long-term trends and comparing the Bureau's annual surveys beginning in 1988 see here.
In general, the "mean" is the sum of the total values (e.g., wages) in the data set or survey divided by number of values (while the "median" is the middle value in same the sequence. The term "mean annual wage" (or "MAW") is calculated by multiplying the mean hourly wage as determined by the BLS by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours. So, for example, the Computer and Mathematical group's mean hourly wage of $42.25, multiplied by 2,080, results in the mean annual wage of $87,880.

Sudoku means "The number must occur only once".
In the late 19th century an old version of the number puzzle Sudoku was published in a French newspaper. The puzzle was somewhat altered and a modern version was published in 1979 by an American magazine. In 1984 Sudoku was introduced in Japan and short after the name was abbreviated to Sudoku. When it became possible to develop the game quickly with the help from computers programs the Sudoku grew fast in popularity. In 2004 the British magazine "The Times" published Sudoku which got an enormous media attention and today Sudoku has become very popular in many countries throughout the world.
Your initial game board provides a partially completed grid with numbers that cannot be changed. Your goal is to enter digits (1-9) in the blank spaces within the game board, containing a 9×9 grid. The numbers 1 through 9 shall only occur one time in each row, column and each of the nine 3×3 boxes. Every Sudoku puzzle has only one correct solution.
In 2006 the first World Sudoku Championship was held and it took place in Italy and the year after it was held in Czech Republic. In 2008 the world championship was arranged in India and in 2009 it will be held in Slovakia.

Amid Grambling's near two-year losing streak to Division I opponents, the Tigers have learned no game ever plays out like it should.
Most recently, Grambling saw how low things could get with a loss to an NAIA school in December.
So when Grambling (1-15, 0-7 Southwestern Athletic Conference) takes on an Arkansas-Pine Bluff (4-15, 2-5) team today that has lost its past five games, the advantage the Tigers may have on paper is non-existent. The game is schedule for approximately 30 minutes after the women's game tips at 5:30 p.m.
Although the Tigers have 11 games left, this might be their best chance to snap a 42-game losing streak to Division I foes and a 25-game skid in the SWAC.
"We have two games against Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley (on Monday) that are right down there in the bottom with us, so we really want to be on the same page and put together a great effort and get a victory," Grambling coach Joseph Price said.
Grambling had been trending in the right direction during its last home stand against Texas Southern and Prairie View A&M, but the Tigers couldn't connect on last-second shots in both games as the losing streak stayed in tact.
Price and his players vouched after the two losses that a win would come. However, Grambling fell apart last Saturday at Jackson State in a 76-59 loss.
"We had a blunder and an unfortunate weekend down in Jackson State, and we had some problems with a little confidence and we've been working really hard this week and have everybody in the right mindset," Price said. "It's disappointing when you lose close games like that. You kind of lose your confidence, and we're right on the verge of turning the corner."
Grambling and Pine Bluff both rank near the bottom in several Division I categories, including points per game — GSU is 237th to Pine Bluff's 338th — rebounding — 338th to 334th — and field goal percentage — 341st to 328th.
Lady Tigers hope to keep pace with Southern
After enduring a mini two-game losing streak at home, Grambling returned to form last weekend with a double-digit win over Jackson State.
The win moved Grambling to 4-3 in the SWAC and 7-11 overall, but more importantly kept the Lady Tigers within striking distance of Southern, which leads the conference with an 8-0 record.
Grambling gets an Arkansas-Pine Bluff team (1-16, 0-7) today that has lost 16 straight games after opening the season Nov. 8 with a win.
Pine Bluff is either second-to-last or at the bottom of several major statistical categories including scoring offense, scoring margin, free-throw percentage, steals, offensive rebounds and offensive rebound percentage.
The win won't be handed to Grambling, though. The Lady Tigers have the worst scoring defense in the SWAC (80.2 points per game) and turn the ball over at an absurd rate with 23.4 per game, the worst in the entire country.

Elites, Networks and Power in modern China
Tools guide
X-Boorman (I): a digital revival
by Cécile Armand · Published 03/08/2019 · Updated 16/09/2019
This is the first instalment of the "X-Boorman" series through which we plan to take the reader to a new experience and exploration of the Biographical Dictionary of Republican China (BDRC). The series is based on an experiment the ENP-China team has been conducting in the last few months as a preliminary attempt to implement NLP tools and methods in historical research. The lead group on this experiment includes Cécile Armand, Christian Henriot, and Pierre Magistry [co-authors of the X-Boorman series]. In the next blog posts, we shall explain why we chose to work on the BDRC, what it tells us about the Republican elites, and what we learned from implementing NLP methods in textual analysis.
Cover of the "Biographical Dictionary of Republican China", vol.1 (1967)
The Biographical Dictionary of Republican China (BDRC) consists of four volumes published between 1967 and 1971, with an additional name index volume produced separately in 1979. It was produced under the editorship of Howard L. Boorman, a China specialist active in the 1950s-1970s that few people may remember, especially among the younger generation of China scholars. Let's introduce him first.
Howard Lyon Boorman was born on September 11, 1920 in Chicago. Boorman did his freshman year at Grinnell College and transferred to the University of Wisconsin, graduating in 1941. In late 1942, he joined the Department of State, but the following year Boorman entered the Navy and was sent to Boulder, Colorado to study Japanese at the US Navy Language School at the University of Colorado. He graduated in 1944 as a Lieutenant Japanese Language Officer and reported for duty at the Joint Intelligence Center Pacific Ocean Area in Hawaii. Later in 1945-1946 Boorman was attached to the 1st Marine Division and was responsible for accepting the surrender of Japanese units and assisting with Japanese POWs. In September 1946, Boorman began graduate work at Yale. In 1947 he became a Foreign Service Officer and was immediately assigned to Peking (Beijing) until 1949. In 1950, Boorman was assigned to Hong Kong to direct a press monitoring unit, translating material from the Communist Chinese press. By 1954, Boorman was back in the United States at Columbia University. In 1967, he moved to Nashville to join the faculty of the History Department of Vanderbilt University, teaching mainly East Asian History. On February 17th 2008, Boorman died at the age of 87.(1)
Although Boorman wrote mostly on contemporary affairs during his active academic years, he had an inkling for history and the biographical genre. He started working on the BDRC in the mid-1950s with the ambition to collect and compile information on 800 individuals. The BDRC ambitioned to provide a sequel to a similar reference work on the Qing period by Arthur Hummel, Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing period, 1644-1912 published in 1943, which provided the template for the confection of the BDRC. By the time the last volume came out of the press in 1971, another biographical dictionary had appeared, which focused solely on Chinese communism (Biographic dictionary of Chinese Communism, 1921-1965 by Donald W. Klein and Anne B. Clark). While these three biographical dictionaries address distinct historical periods, they share a number of individuals whole life spanned over at least two periods.
The BDRC served generations of China historians as the main reference work one would turn to to seek biographical information when studying the Republican period. It provided indeed both concise and well-informed individual biographies, but also snapshots of the turbulent republican period. It is hard to say how much the BDRC is still in use among students and scholars, but it is very likely that, at least for the former, the BDRC is no longer a resource. The major reason is that the internet-born generation will more likely rely on digital resources and tools and Google and Wikipedia, not to mention their Chinese avatar like Baidu. The BDRC is not available in digital format, except for a single copy on loan on Internet Archive (but not the Name Index volume). Another reason is the use of the Wade-Giles transliteration system which all those trained after the 1980s are no longer familiar with, especially when it comes to lesser known place names or organizations. Beyond using the BDRC as a source for analysis, we hope to give to the BDRC a new lease of life through a digital revival.

42 And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art you among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And how is it that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 As soon as I heard your voice of salutation sounding in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy!
45 And blessed are you that have believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
46 And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord.
47 And my spirit rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 Because He has regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from now on all generations shall call me blessed.
49 Because He that is mighty, has done great things to me; and Holy is His Name.
50 And His mercy is from generation unto generations, to all those that fear Him.
51 He has revealed might in His arm: He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their Heart.
52 He has put down the mighty from their seat, and has exalted the humble.
55 As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.
58 And the neighbors and family heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they shared her joy.
65 And fear came upon all their neighbors; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
66 And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What do you think God's calling is for this child? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.


Transient photocurrent in hydrogenated amorphous silicon is studied in all relevant time regimes following the illumination of a pulse of light at one end of the sample. When both electron and hole transport are taken into consideration, we find that, at a low occupation level of trap states or at a low intensity of illumination, there are five well-defined current slopes. The first three are located at a short-time range, which has not been probed experimentally, and they are due to the electron transport. The last two slopes originate from the well-known phenomenon of hole transport. Each bend from a current slope change has a particular physical meaning and is interpreted. At a high illumination intensity, all five current slopes become less well-defined, and the two current slopes that are due to hole transport can change drastically because of significant space-charge effects. In particular, one of the hole slopes can even change from negative to positive, and the result is quite different from the well-known dispersive transport theory in disordered semiconductors.

The deterioration of bleachability index, or DOBI, is an analytical procedure intended for quality control of crude palm oil. The test attempts to predict the ease of refining of crude palm oil and indicates its oxidative status. Fruit quality is one of the most important factors affecting DOBI values, together with ripeness and storage conditions.

Q: How to use Qt5 and Qt Creator 2.6.1 with compiler from VS 2012? The official downloads only include Qt libraries 5.0.0 for VS 2010 now. I tried them in VS 2012 Express but got an error message as "error: LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1600' doesn't match value '1700'..."
Do I have to install VS 2010 or compile the entire source code of Qt5 in VS 2012?
UPDATE: My IDE is Qt Creator 2.6.1. I only use the C++ compiler in VS 2012 because there are no Qt libraries 5.0.0 for minGW in the official downloads yet.
UPDATE-2(2013-1-1): Saw it today, the official blog says:

There are a few things we're still working on for the 5.0 series. We
  have bugs that we want to fix. We currently do not have binary
  packages for MinGW (as WebKit doesn't yet work with it yet) and MSVC
  2012 (you'll need to compile from source), and we'll work on
  delivering these as soon as possible. The current plan is to have a
  first patch level release, 5.0.1, some time before the end of January.

UPDATE-3(2013-1-31): That comes finally, but only adds Qt 5.0.1 for MinGW 4.7.
UPDATE-4(2013-7-06): After a long wait, Qt 5.1.0 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2012, 511 MB) added.

A: You are right - if you want to use MS VC 2012 compiler, you have to compile QT5 libraries manually. The tutorial can be found on http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git.
Another option is to install VS 2010 and use it until Digia will make pre-compiled VC 2012 and MinGW libraries. If you use QT Creator as your primary IDE, it should be enough to install VC 2010 Express only.

A: What do you have set in Visual Studio 2012?

Project properties > General > Platform toolset

Try setting it to v110.
