There's no accounting for taste. What's full of great flavor to one person is a complete turn-off to the next. It's all part of what makes us unique.
This reality stares you in the face when you're having to choose from the vast array of vape juice flavors. Breathe a sigh of relief. We are going to give you all the help you need to find the best vape juice for you.
Understanding what goes into vape juice is the first step. Take a deep breath. Here's the lowdown.
All vape juices have several ingredients. Firstly they'll contain vegetable glycerin, known as VG, or propylene glycol, known as PG, or a mixture of them both. The flavorings are added to this base. A smattering of nicotine is optional.
The VG thickens the vapor. Because it's naturally sweet, it can have an effect on the overall flavor you inhale. The PG normally gives a stronger throat hit.
Different vape juices have different proportions of these two base products. Some vape juice brands allow you to choose your preferred balance.
If you're trying to kick the smoking habit, a vape juice with nicotine can help keep the cravings at bay. When you're starting out, a higher strength nicotine content is normally best. Go for a vape juice with nicotine levels of 18 mg or 24 mg.
Bear in mind the amount of vapor your device produces will have an effect on how much nicotine gets into your bloodstream. If a lot of vapor is produced, go for a vape juice with a lower strength of nicotine.
If you're trying to quit smoking, the idea is to gradually reduce the nicotine content of your vape juice. If you've kicked the smoking habit already or don't smoke at all, then go for a non-nicotine vape juice.
Let the fun begin! There is an almost infinite amount of flavors to be created. Many brands put a great deal of effort into coming up with recipes they think you're going to enjoy. Check out these selections. You'll be spoiled for choice.
You can conjure up your own mixtures of flavor too. To save you having to try everything, we've broken down the most popular flavors into a few categories to help you choose more easily.
If menthol cigarettes have been your chosen smokes, you may well like a mint flavored vape juice. The beauty of creating your own vape juice is you can play a bit. You never know, you might prefer adding a little chocolate flavor to your blend.
If you've recently stopped smoking, you might still crave the taste of tobacco. Tobacco flavored vape juice will satisfy the need without all the nasty chemicals in smoke.
It's even possible to find different varieties of tobacco flavors. You can try anything from a smokey pool hall flavor to the taste of a cherry cigar, for example.
Vape juices with a high VG content are usually used by those who've been vaping for a long time. They are great for devices with increased power output, which produce more vapor or flavor.
Because VG is thicker, it's going to leave more residue build-up in your device. That means more time spent cleaning out your device afterward.
These are by far the most popular types of vape juice. You can choose anything from peach to custard or chocolate chip to marshmallow. There are some quirky flavors out there that are almost irresistible.
The great thing about all these flavors is that it's usually possible to choose the nicotine and the VG/PG balance. This means you can select the vape juice that's going to suit you best.
If you go for a blend, you'll be getting several distinct flavors all mixed up together. This can work really well with fruit flavors. If you have a penchant for a pina colada, you could try a coconut and pineapple blend.
If you want to try out a lot of different flavors, buy smaller bottles first in case you don't enjoy them.
You're now clearer about the whole vape juice process. Let's drill down and look at some great vape juice flavors that'll give you inspiration when choosing what goes into your vaping device.
If only we could taste our favorite drink all the time. You'll find there will be a vape juice available that's going to let you do just that. Coffee and cola flavors could be just the thing.
Best of all, vape juice lets you indulge without any of the negative sides of too much caffeine, sugar, or alcohol.
If you want to stay healthy but find candy flavors irresistible, vape juice could be the answer. You'll find vape juices available in classic flavors from caramel to bubble gum. Treat yourself without putting on the pounds.
If you can't get enough of your favorite baked foods, try a vape juice flavor like cheesecake or donut. One of the most popular vape flavors is plain, simple vanilla. Best of all, vaping is calorie free.
There is a whole range of breakfast favors that are great to kickstart your day. Everyone loves a nice big bowl of sweet cereal. Stay healthy and choose a vape juice to match your favorite. You'll even find special waffle flavors.
You can get all the flavor without unhealthy smoke or calories. That's one of the best bits of vaping in a nutshell. The extensive range of vape juice flavors means you'll never be stuck for something to choose from.

I was asked to supervise youngsters who were writing a yoga exam. To my surprise I found a few who were slyly passing on or getting information from their neighbour even after a couple of warnings. My ears happened to be sharper than they imagined. In between a teacher also tried distracting me with some inane conversation, which I postponed for later, when I got the real point of it. Cheating in an examination or in less apparent ways is not a big deal nowadays. I didn't want to sound preachy to the youngsters, who thought that they were outsmarting me. Yet I could not help but make a point that they were only cheating on themselves. They are cheating themselves of many things they could have gained.
True confidence increases each time we realize that we can do something in a right manner. When we know we can give our best. We get the confidence and courage to move towards our goals without compromising on our values. When you are confident of your capacity then you will not feel the need to cheat. We must cultivate the courage to face life's challenges. When we cheat we are running away from the challenge and each time we run away we become less and less confident. Truly confident and courageous people don't find the need to cheat. They are not afraid of falling as they know that with the help of God/goodness they can pick themselves up. Courage is doing the right thing despite fear of failure. Swami Gitananda said that a righteous person is one who can put to right use everything. So we must cultivate the habit of putting to right use our body, emotions and mind and all resources and that will build real confidence. Hence being righteous builds confidence and conversely to be truly confident we must cultivate being righteous.
2. When you cheat you cheat yourself of comfort.
"Sukham Sthiram Asana"- An asana is comfortable and firm. The practice of yoga brings about comfort and stability in different states of being. We are aware of and learn to accept unconscious states of mind that are addressed through conscious asana work. Hence there is an inner comfort with all life's permutations and combinations. With all the good, bad and the ugly. This reflects externally as one who is comfortable in any situation or environment. The more comfortable we are with ourselves the less we will want to cheat to project what we are not. So cheating is a sign of lack of comfort.
The reverse is also true. When you cheat and gain praise that you have not rightfully earned then you cheat yourself of comfort. There is no greater comfort than looking at a prize and knowing deep inside that you truly deserved it, that you have earned it.
Every time we get locked into an old pattern of taking the easy way out we have to remember that we are adding to our stress. Yes contrary to popular belief the so-called easy way is not so easy in energy terms. There is a great deal of loss of energy due to the inner conflict we face. Unless a person is completely in a dinosaurian state of consciousness there will be a tinge of guilt that one may or may not feel. Even if one does not feel it consciously it is there, grating on us deep within. This drains us of energy more and we spiral downwards repeating or even exaggerating the mistake. We may also block the memory out, as it is uncomfortable to face it. So the chance of rectifying the mistake is also lost to us.
This backlog dims our consciousness, there is also no energy for conscious application of the mind due to the clogging. When we use our prefrontal lobes, which is in charge of conscious choices we can actively decide to stop this downward spiral. Hence when we apply consciousness we can cheat less and by cheating less we gain more consciousness.
4. When you cheat you cheat yourself of the capacity to move from chaos to cosmos.
The world seems as orderly or as disorderly as our inner world is. There is a beautiful cosmic order that one can appreciate only if the same order is recognized within. The recognition of this order automatically means that you know that there are consequences for breaking the order. There will be more inner chaos when you break the law. I have seen in my own life the acting of his great order. I see the karma (law of cause and effect) of my actions either recent past or past. Each time when I make a conscious decision to do that which is right, despite the attachment to the old behaviour or person the great order has taken me a step above. And I see there are a many more steps to climb. Each step we climb we are able to see more clearly the connection between cause and effect. The higher we get the easier it is for us to see the layers of labyrinths or connections that create cosmos or chaos. We see we can make or break our destiny. So this also works two ways. The more order there is within the less likely we are to cheat and if we want to create more order we have to cheat less.
5. When you cheat you cheat yourself of connectivity and continuity.
Each time you cheat you become more disconnected from yourself. A schizophrenic is a disconnected individual. Multiple behavioural disorder is there in all of us in milder levels even if not diagnosed as a clinical condition. We may verbally say cheating is bad and should not be encouraged but you will be doing the very same thing that we speak against. This is a very prevalent disconnection present in most humans. There is no connection between what they say and what they do. In yoga one leads by example, in life as well the best way to teach is by example. The learning patterns of a child indicate that they observe and imbibe what the parent or role model does. When we are connected to all aspects of ourselves, our doing, feeling and thinking processes we see the continuity of consciousness. The more positive our thinking is the better we start to behave. The better we start to behave we start feeling better and there is a positive progression as a whole. When we want our will to be connected to the will of goodness then the willing or wishing itself serves as a means of behavioural change. The stronger the will the more sustained the change. There may be back and forth movements in the continuum of life but definitely we can see progress if we look at where we started. Hence if we cheat we deprive ourselves from this connection to the divine and ourselves and can never see true progress or positive continuum. Conversely the more times we cheat the more disconnected we get and there is more regression.
Youngsters have to see that though they now obey the law and don't cheat out of fear they can also obey out of love for evolution, out of the adventuring spirit. A true adventurer does not shy away from the climb. There has to be a passion and enthusiasm along with periods of rest for recuperation. The yoga life is most enjoyable and fun and does not match up to any other fun that people have tried selling to me. Today's youth can have loads of fun understanding and imbibing yoga.
I was teaching at a premium management institute in Pune and we discussed issues not from a moralistic perspective but from the perspective of growth. There was one boy in particular who did not seem too upset by the cheating that was happening among his classmates. He said that his mind was a lot freer and he was quite sure that they could not sustain their behaviour and still have an alive mind, as whether they saw it now or not their behaviour would add to their stress. He was much more attentive than the others and seemed more relaxed. This is the confidence and comfort that consistent effort gives a person.
There are many forms of cheating. One can cheat another of their time or love or energy by expecting them to take care of them when they have abused their system. I see many who have not lived righteously who self righteously make demands on another's time and energy without wanting to do anything in return. The universe is fair and we must learn to earn our bread and not cheat others out of it by constantly evoking their sympathy with our sob stories. Neither should we manipulate their love. As we evolve we must be more aware of the many ways we cheat others as well as ourselves. So let us have fun playing the game of life and let's play by the rules!

Helping The Over 50's Start Their Own Business

Each month new job figures come out and the Government, as well as the media, tend to focus on the overall numbers or look at what impact it's having on young people not in education, work or training.
However, there is another group who also suffers with unemployment and that's the over 50s. In the UK today, there are 372,000 unemployed over 50s, nearly half of them have been unemployed for over 12 months and in addition, there are nearly 3.3 million economically inactive 50 to 64 year olds.
This is a significant amount of people who are highly-skilled, with a vast amount of experience, but are not actively participating in the economy. It is absolutely vital that we address this situation as we are living longer, the retirement age continues to increase and in the future there are going to be more older people in the UK not working but less workers coming into the system to support them. This is crisis waiting to happen and also a significant waste of valuable resources.
The Prince's Initiative for Mature Enterprise (PRIME) is a charity that offers a solution to the over 50s by helping them start their own businesses.
The charity was first established by HRH The Prince of Wales after he was contacted by people who complimented his efforts to help young people and asked if he could do something for older people as they felt that they were being overlooked by prospective employers simply because of their age.
Today there are around 1.87 million over 50s who work for themselves, which is 42% of the total amount of self-employed workers in the UK and PRIME is there to help first time business owners over the age of 50 ensure they start sustainable enterprises with the best chances for success. The charity achieves this through advice and guidance, online resources, workshops to boost skills, as well as specialist events, such as networking evenings, master-classes and mentoring clinics.
Starting businesses later in life presents a unique opportunity for older people, making good use of their skills and experience, and in-turn they will be benefiting the country's growth. Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the UK economy; out of 4.9 million businesses in the UK, more than 99% are SMEs. Furthermore, SMEs account for 59.3% of private sector employment and 48.1 per cent of private sector turnover.
Today, the charity has 27,000 clients and there have been lots of news businesses started as a result. Research carried out by the charity suggests the majority start professional services-based enterprises, such as training or coaching, but many of their clients have established a multitude of new businesses as diverse as sustainable construction companies, online craft businesses, wedding caterers, clocks to help children tell the time and dog grooming salons.
Anne Williams from the North-East had a history of working in professional but in her late 50s she was made redundant felt that she wasn't going to be employed again. However, Anne discovered the virtual assistant industry, which has led her to establish LinchpinPA, providing administrative services to other businesses which in-turn helps them concentrate on growing their own businesses.
To help build up LinchpinPA, Anne started to attend networking events to promote herself and gain new contacts, as well as attend free training sessions and webinars, which included PRIME's three-day business training course. Anne has also developed her website and has started blogging, which increases her presence in the North East. All these measures combined means that Anne is now running a sustainable and successful business.
Nicky Templeton, Development Manager for PRIME, said: "We believe that the over 50s are perfect candidates to become new business owners due to their years of experience and if successful, they can make a decent living for themselves, as well as provide benefits for their communities and the local economy."

YOUR WEEKLY WATCH LIST
The Last of Us and 7 Other Shows to Watch This Week
Plus: Velma, the 80th Golden Globes, Vikings: Valhalla, and more.

Monday 1/9/2023 at 9:00AM EST

Looking for your next binge-watch, or just need to fill an hour? Welcome to Your Weekly Watch List, our curated collection of the best shows on television. Here's what to watch from Monday, January 9 through Sunday, January 15.
The new year continues to bring us a bounty of new TV. This week sees the premieres of highly-anticipated video game adaptation The Last of Us and HBO Max's Velma, some awards season glamor at the Golden Globes, and more.
Notable TV Premieres This Week
Velma: Thursday, HBO Max
Do we need a gritty animated prequel series to Scooby Doo? Maybe not, but there's no denying the cast for this more grown-up take on the mystery-solving quartet is intriguing, with Mindy Kaling voicing the titular, spectacles-sporting investigator Velma Dinkley. She's joined by Glenn Howerton as Fred, Constance Wu as Daphne, and Sam Richardson as Shaggy (or Norville Rogers, as the future suspected stoner is known here.) Promising a more down-to-earth take on the Scooby gang before Scooby entered the picture (meaning no sentient talking dog for now), Velma sees Kaling reuniting with longtime comedy collaborator Charlie Grady (The Office, The Mindy Project).
Mayor of Kingstown Season 2: Sunday, Paramount+
With star Jeremy Renner thankfully recuperating from his winter misadventures in snowplowing, crime drama Mayor of Kingstown returns for a second season of sibling infighting, shady deals, and Dianne Wiest. Riding high on the success of Yellowstone, creator Taylor Sheridan explores the corrupt McLusky family's efforts to pick up the pieces after last season's violent finale. One episode drops today.
The Last of Us: Sunday, 9:00 PM ET on HBO
For its first foray into video game-based dramas, HBO has assembled enough talent to offset the genre's shaky history. The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal leads the way as Joel, a hard-bitten survivor of a 20-year-long zombie apocalypse tasked with escorting 14-year-old Ellie (His Dark Materials' Bella Ramsey) through the blasted wasteland that was once America. Pascal and Ramsey are backed by co-stars Anna Torv, Gabriel Luna, Nick Offerman, Melanie Lynskey, and Merle Dandridge. With Neil Druckmann, creator of the acclaimed video game, joining up with Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) behind the scenes, The Last of Us promises an ambitious take on the post-apocalypse survival tale.
Full-Season Binge Releases
Koala Man: Monday, Hulu
Creator Michael Cusack teams with Rick and Morty's Justin Roiland to bring us this eight-episode animated series about an ordinary Australian dad who dons the crimefighting disguise of his nation's perhaps least threatening local fauna to battle evil (or at least loitering) in his sleepy town. Featuring voice work from Hugh Jackman, Jemaine Clement, Hugo Weaving, Sarah Snook, and Miranda Otto, this irreverently violent superhero series sees things go belly-up Down Under once actual Aussie supervillains and supernatural baddies come calling.
Vikings: Valhalla Season 2: Thursday, Netflix
Set one century after Vikings, History's first foray into scripted programming, Valhalla continues the adventures of Sam Corlett's Leif Erikson, Frida Gustavsson's Freydis, and Leo Sutter's Harald. Together, the descendants of the Norse heroes of old confront the overwhelming crush of encroaching Christianity and the seemingly inevitable twilight of their gods — with plenty of cinematic sword fights thrown in for good measure.
Hunters Season 2: Friday, Amazon Prime
This over-the-top action series drew equal measure controversy and praise for its 1970s-set tale of New York Nazi hunters tracking down escaped German war criminals. Season 2 is unlikely to quiet critics decrying David Weil's depiction of real-life atrocities alongside alternate reality, Tarantino-esque action set pieces, as Al Pacino's Holocaust survivor takes his ragtag team all the way to South America to track down the still-alive Adolf Hitler (Udo Kier). This time around, Jennifer Jason Leigh joins the pursuit as the hunters continue their mission to stop the rise of a Fourth Reich.
Finale Time
Willow: Wednesday, Disney+
With the fate of this long-awaited sequel series to Ron Howard and George Lucas' 1988 fantasy epic still undetermined, Warwick Davis' wizard faces the dual specters of the wickedly evil Gales and the even more mysterious and fickle foes that are streaming metrics.
Tulsa King: Sunday, Paramount+
"Sopranos-lite wish fulfillment" it may be (see John Wenzel's review), but this mafioso-out-of-water drama starring Sylvester Stallone as a New York wiseguy stranded in Oklahoma is already renewed for a second season. In the Season 1 finale, Stallone's Dwight Manfredi continues to test the theory that there's nothing that can't be solved by a swift punch to the breadbasket.
80th Golden Globe Awards: Tuesday, 8:00 PM ET on NBC
Jerrod Carmichael rides herd on this annual, open bar Oscar warmup put on by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. On the movie side, The Banshees of Inisherin, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Babylon, and The Fabelmans lead the nominations pack. In the best of TV categories, the final season of Better Call Saul battles the premiere of House of the Dragon, among other dramas, while fan favorite Abbott Elementary looks to oust last year's comedy winner Hacks.
If You Have...
Andrew Santino: Cheeseburger: Tuesday, Netflix
The Conners Season 5 Winter Premiere: Wednesday, 8:00 PM ET on ABC
The Goldbergs Season 10 Winter Premiere: Wednesday, 8:30 PM ET on ABC
Lingo Series Premiere: Wednesday, 9:00 PM ET on CBS
An Evening
College Football National Championship: Georgia vs. TCU: Monday, 7:30 PM ET on ESPN

Special Report: The Top 10 High-Yield, FDIC-Insured Accounts for Retirees
Here at Wealth Daily, we give you lots of useful information about how to invest your savings to prepare for a comfortable retirement.
But what happens when you actually get there? What do you do with your nest egg after retirement?
This aspect of financial planning is just as important as building a nest egg in the first place — but it's much less talked about.
And that's a shame, because withdrawal strategies are complicated. Each of them has downsides. Whether you go the annuity route, the "withdraw 4% a year" route, or the "buy bonds and live on interest" route, there are market risks to consider.
But if you have a big enough portfolio when you retire, there's a fourth option — one that's much safer than the three conventional retirement account withdrawal strategies above.
You can put your money in a high-yield, FDIC-insured certificate of deposit (CD) or savings account. That means you're living on guaranteed interest payments, and your principal is insured by the federal government for up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank.
The only problem is that it's often difficult to find FDIC-insured accounts with yields high enough to live on — particularly in the current low-rate environment.
That's why we've put together this report on the best CDs and savings accounts for retirees. Before we get to those accounts, let's go over the kind of numbers and terms we're looking for...
What to Look For in an Account
Each of these accounts pays an annual percentage yield (APY), and most have deposit or balance minimums. Each account also has a unique system of fees, terms, and conditions that will be outlined in its "Notes" section below.
Annual percentage yield (APY) is the rate of return adjusted for the effect of compounding interest. Some of these accounts compound their interest more or less frequently than one year. That's why we use APY — it provides a more accurate measure of how much your money will actually grow in a year than the account's nominal yearly interest rate.
Minimum deposits and balances are fairly self-explanatory — they're the smallest amounts of money you can keep in a given account without being cashed out or penalized with additional fees or a lower interest rate.
You generally can't open these accounts unless you meet the minimum deposit. Some of them penalize accounts that fall below a minimum balance threshold after opening.
Certificates of deposit (CDs) also have term lengths. These are periods of time in which you must keep your money in the CD in order to earn your full interest and the full return of your principal. Cashing out of a CD before the end of the term length often results in a penalty.
High-yield savings accounts and money market accounts — the other instruments covered in this report — do not have term lengths. Some of them do, however, have limits on the numbers of transfers you can make each month.
We'll tell you about any fees, penalties, minimum balance conditions, transfer restrictions, and other special rules in the "Notes" section of each account.
Without further ado, let's look at the top five highest-yielding CDs for 2019…
Sallie Mae CD
APY: 2.30%
Term length: 24 months
Minimums: $2,500 minimum deposit (and minimum balance for APY)
Fees: None unless withdrawing early
This is a simple but competitive CD with an automatic renewal option. It also has a fairly standard penalty for early withdrawals — just 180 days' simple interest on the amount withdrawn. You can open an account online here.
BankDirect CD
Minimums: $10,000 minimum deposit
This is another simple CD with a fairly standard penalty for early withdrawals — just 180 days' simple interest on the amount withdrawn. You can open an account online here.
Rising Bank CD
This is another simple CD with a fairly standard penalty for early withdrawals — just 180 days' interest on the amount withdrawn. There is also a $500,000 account maximum (the FDIC only insures you for up to $250,000 per depositor per bank, so you shouldn't have that much in one account anyway). You can open an account online here.
Banesco USA BaneSmart CD
Minimums: $1,500 minimum deposit
Fees: One-time fee upon opening based on account balance. $300 for accounts under $45,000; $250 under $75,000; $200 under $150,000; $100 over $150,000.
This is another simple CD with a fairly standard penalty for early withdrawals — just 180 days' interest on the amount withdrawn. There is also a $250,000 account maximum; that's equal to the FDIC insurance limit per depositor per bank. You can open an account online here.
Citizens Access
Another simple CD with a penalty of 180 days' interest for early withdrawals. You can open an account online here.
Now let's look at the other types of high-yield, FDIC-insured accounts…
Savings and Money Market Accounts
Investors Bank eAccess Money Market Account
Minimums: None disclosed

These accounts provide FDIC-insured peace of mind, easy access to your money, and higher yields than you'll get from the vast majority of bank accounts.
You may have noticed, however, that those yields are still not very high. If you want to live on a salary of $50,000 per year in retirement using these accounts, you'd need a portfolio of at least $1.85 million to make that much in interest.

Discussion in 'Replica Props' started by TheSlavinator, Mar 1, 2019.
Hi all! I am working on a spartan ranger uniform for this years NYCC. One of the things I want to have visible is the famous universal charger from Metro 2033/Last Light/Exodus. Does anyone have the 3d model either for sale or ripped from the game?


Having said that (and shown my ignorance by that last string of words), there is one social media tool that I have fallen in love with – both as a writer and as a dreamer of better things. Every night, before I go to bed, I spend about five minutes on this platform. It always makes me feel lights, happier, and more optimistic that my life will soon transform into the images I found and selected.
Pinterest is just like a vision board or scrapbook. But instead of tearing up magazines and using glue sticks to create your dreamboard, you do it online.
You can create as many boards on Pinterest as you want. As you start playing with it, your imagination is guaranteed to explode in ways you could never dream of. And isn't that the point of a dreamboard?
Do you fantasize about traveling to exotic locals or even famous landmarks? You can pin photos taken by professional photographers and amateurs of those places. Looking for ideas for a home project? Interior decorators have discovered this fabulous tool and are more than willing to share their tips and solutions.
The possibilities are endless…which is the very reason why I love to pin!
Pinterest is also great to connect with other like-minded dreamers. You can share posts, even pin your own photographs! There are many businesses now that are using it as another way to market, but you just skip past those and feast your eyes on the glorious pictures.
Check out Pinterest and let me know if you agree with me. And you can even check out my boards at http://pinterest.com/kathryneriksen.
And be sure to let me know about your boards – let's see if we can pin together and create something magical!

Stephen L. Buchwald, the Camille Dreyfus Professor of Chemistry, has been awarded the 2014 Linus Pauling Medal Award, for "outstanding contributions to chemistry meriting national and international recognition."
Buchwald will be honored at a symposium and banquet on Oct. 11, at Western Washington University. The Linus Pauling Medal Award has been given annually since 1966 by the ACS Puget Sound, Ore., and Portland sections of the American Chemical Society. The award is named after its first winner, Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, a native of the Pacific Northwest.
Buchwald's research combines elements of organic synthesis, physical organic chemistry, and organometallic chemistry (studying chemical compounds that contain bonds between carbon and a metal).


Another shutdown performance has the Los Angeles Kings joining a crowded group vying for the Western Conference's best record.
With a chance to further cloud the playoff picture, they'll put their NHL-leading defense up against the league's top offense in Tuesday night's key matchup with the Dallas Stars.
Los Angeles (41-22-5) has closed within four points of Dallas (41-20-9) and St. Louis for the conference's top spot by winning eight of its last 11. The Kings, who own two games in hand on the Stars and three on the Blues, matched both in the victory column after routing slumping Chicago 5-0 on Monday.
The Kings breezed through the first challenge of a back-to-back road set against two of the West's main contenders, receiving goals from trade-deadline addition Kris Versteeg and Milan Lucic in the opening four minutes to support Jonathan Quick's 32 saves.
"Obviously we want to come out first in the conference if we can, but we have a lot of work to do," defenseman Drew Doughty said. "We're still a few points back of other teams, but yeah, we have some big games coming up, a big one against Dallas (Tuesday), and we've got to do the same sort of things."
Quick earned his 41st career shutout - most by an American-born goaltender - and improved to 7-2-1 with a 1.78 goals-against average over a 10-start stretch. He's been the backbone of a defense that's yielded a league-low 154 goals and just 20 over the last 12 games.
Either Quick or reliable backup Jhonas Enroth, who posted a 23-save shutout against Buffalo in his last start on Feb. 27, will face a Dallas attack that's amassed an NHL-high 225 goals and has been in peak form on this five-game homestand. After rolling to a 5-2 victory over the Blackhawks in Friday's opener, the Stars got late scores from red-hot Jason Spezza and Jamie Benn to rally for an important point in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to St. Louis.
Spezza scored twice to extend his goal streak to a career-high six games. The veteran center has 10 in his past 10.
"He's playing his best hockey, by far, all year," Ruff told the Stars' official website. "I really like the way he's playing. Offensively, since the time he's been here, this is the best he's been."
Stopping opponents has been a far more difficult task. Dallas has surrendered a league-high 47 goals over its past 12 games and has had its defensive depth depleted by recent injuries to John Klingberg (lower body), Jason Demers (shoulder) and Jordie Benn (lower body).
Kari Lehtonen has brought some stability in net of late, moving to 3-1-0 with a 2.24 GAA over his last four starts with Friday's 21-save effort against Chicago.
While the back line remains thin, the Stars may get another scorer back on Tuesday with Patrick Sharp nearing a return from a lower-body injury that's sidelined him five games.
Quick had 27 saves and Lucic scored the tie-breaking goal in the third period as the Kings won 3-2 at home in the teams' lone previous meeting this season on Jan. 19.
Lucic is on a six-game point streak and has five goals in his last seven against Dallas.

Although the car is, for all intents and purposes, finished, when asked just how long the transformation took Lovullo answered, "1,111 hours… so far. I guess there's always something else to be done." And that 1,111 hours is even more impressive when you glance at the detailed notes he kept on his time and expenses while working on the project.
"I assume this started life as a convertible," I said with confidence, only to be told "No, it was a coupe which I cut the roof off of." Holy cow, no wonder it took 1,111 hours! Lovullo also replaced all of the floor boards, which were nothing but rust, and added a Camaro convertible windshield and A-pillar he found at a Carlisle, Pa. swap meet. The seats are from a 1969 Camaro, as they were a better match for the seats in the concept car photos.
Now that it's done (for the most part), I hope it was fun. And Lovullo can get on to the other Camaros lurking about in his garage in various states of undress.
The world could use a few more good curse words.

YouTube Wedding Dance
The rise of the YouTube dance
I read an article a while ago, which suggested that out of 1,500 newly-weds surveyed 22% now choreograph their own wedding dances and that 15% of them are so proud of it they would share it with the world on YouTube.
The new trend coincides with a popularity in dancing shows like Strictly Come Dancing, Stepping Out and Got to Dance.
First dance songs have evolved along with the dance too, and although 8% of those surveyed had their first dance to a romantic slow jam, 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' by Savage Garden, songs like Abba's 'Dancing Queen' and 'What is Love' by Haddaway also proved popular choices.
One of the couples in the article danced to 'I've Had the Time of my Life' from the film, Dirty Dancing, they watched the dance in the film, picked the main bits from it, plus filled up some gaps by choreographing those themselves.
So what inspired the couple to do a routine like this? "We were having trouble finding a song that we both liked that was actually a 'love song'. I knew I wanted a song that was pretty well known, so that when we are listening to the radio in the future, it might come on and spark happy memories of the day." "Everyone remembers it as our song, so at Christmas dos, and other weddings we've attended, someone always ends up requesting it and goading us into recreating the routine!" "It's great!"

MAKING YOUR WEDDING ABOUT YOU


The FINANCE Committee is responsible for the administering of all funds of St. Paul's United Church and ensures that all financial requirements laid out in the Manual of the United Church of Canada are met.
As we approach the summer season we are enjoying warmer weather and outdoor activities, and we are counting down the days until vacation time. Please keep in mind, while you are away on holidays, that our expenses continue here at St. Paul's. Your offerings are still needed to support our Church facility, programs and staff, through the summer months. If possible please consider making your offerings, through post-dated cheques or PAR (pre authorized remittance). If you are interested in signing up for PAR, please drop by and see Nancy in the church office. You can also speak to Finance Committee members if you have any questions about how PAR works.
Joining the PAR program is a great way to support St. Paul's since your contribution arrives regularly and can be relied upon by the church treasurer, even if you personally miss a few Sundays. Since many members use their bank cards and credit cards to make purchases and do their banking on-line, PAR is also the most convenient for us. The national church administers the giving plan. Donations are taken out of your account on the 20th of each month and you can make changes to contributions at any time. Please consider giving by PAR.

Q: Error in retrieving the number of clones from one of my Git repositories I'm trying to download the number of clones of one of my repos via shell. I've followed the instructions in the reference, but to no avail. This is what I do:
$ curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/repos/my-github-username/my-repo-name/traffic/clones

What I get is:
{
  "message": "Must have push access to repository",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/repos#get-repository-clones"
}

I don't understand why I'm getting this result. I've tried issuing the command from outside the repository and from within, but the result is the same. I've also tried to tell curl to use the SSH key associated to my account by doing:
curl --key ~/.ssh/id_github --pubkey ~/.ssh/id_github.pub ...

but the result is the same. I've also tried
curl -u my-github-username --key ~/.ssh/id_github --pubkey ~/.ssh/id_github.pub ...

But I keep getting the same result.
How can I fix this?

A: You can't use an SSH key to make an API request.  To authenticate, you need to use some sort of token, which in your case is probably going to be a personal access token.  You can create one with the repo scope by going into the Developer Settings page.
Once you have that token, you can run this (replacing MY-TOKEN-HERE):
$ curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
  -H "Authorization: Token MY-TOKEN-HERE" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/my-github-username/my-repo-name/traffic/clones

Once you do that, you should be able to make the request successfully.

Benedict Evans, partner at the venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz, may have claimed in 2014 that 'Mobile is eating the world', but a look at the job market shows that still isn't the case three years later.
There may be more than 3 million apps in the App Store, but there are fewer than 700 marketers in the Mobile Dev Memo Slack Team – one of the most active communities that specializes in mobile user acquisition, ad-tech and monetization. The ratio is ridiculous, but quite accurately reflects the relatively small number of experts who are responsible for the growth of the multimillion dollar mobile app businesses.
One of the biggest challenges in the market involves hiring mobile marketing experts for your department. If you have undertaken a job search in the past you will probably agree that it was nearly impossible to find an available expert with the right set of skills, experience, and mindset. Finding the best candidate is especially challenging if you are based outside of the US or Scandinavia, a region with a particularly strong focus on gaming.
But wait. What actually is the "right set" and what's the risk of missing right people? To help you understand these important aspects, I have described four key roles you need in your marketing department to be competitive in today's mobile space.
Consider this as a basic guideline for your hiring processes and team set up.
Why is a mobile marketer important? Your mobile marketing manager should be the single person driving the growth of your mobile business. They are the head of a body coming up with a strategy, an action plan and the ability to drive the execution. Without this role you will be dependent on organic traffic and… luck.
Skill Set: Your new manager will need a deep understanding of the mobile ecosystem (4+ years), performance marketing principles and classic marketing knowledge. You need an expert that is able to combine different disciplines. The marketing manager should work as a strategic planner who is ready to tap into other areas, create meaningful briefs for colleagues and serve as their opponent, challenging them when necessary. Often this role works closely with PR, game designers or product managers on cross-department campaigns.
Experience: Ideally your chosen candidate will have a background as a performance marketing manager role, or potentially even having owned their own mobile startup. (If it failed, all the better as it's very valuable experience). F2P or subscription model knowledge, A/B testing, and analytics are required. Understanding of video production, asset creation, social media and brand building is a plus.
Mindset: An entrepreneurial background and approach is ideal for this role, with the mixture of a creative and data driven mindset bringing the best results. The person must have the potential to be a strong team leader.
Michal Skvor, mobile marketer from Avast discussing cross-promotion in a portfolio of apps with Jacob Chour from AppAgent.
Why is UA manager important? The vast majority of mobile business today is driven by paid acquisition which should be covered by an experienced performance marketing manager. If you look at your media budget you will be probably more calm if you know the spend is managed effectively by someone that you can trust.
Skill Set: Your UA manager covers campaign management, reporting, and data analysis. The right candidate needs to have the ability to think strategically and to have eye for detail at the same time. Look for an itch to dive into numbers, finding continuity, and an ability to convert these numbers into insights.
Experience: Facebook and Adwords are the two main networks covering 70% of mobile ad inventory. A thorough knowledge of these is essential. RTB management is also a plus. Mobile specific networks are much easier to learn and manage, thus not necessary skills – at least at the start. High proficiency in Excel is a must, reporting automation and SQL/data visualisation beneficial. You'll need to ensure that your UA manager understands LTV models, auction processes and differences in bidding types.
Mindset: Interested in finding the essence of a problem, analytical and results oriented.
Recent metrics from Hungry Pet soft launch discussed by UA manager Edward Krecmar and Albert Kolacek from Pandastic Games at the Mobile Marketing Economics workshop.
Why is data analyst important? All marketing activities need a proper data evaluation. If you don't have someone to process information into insigt, you will quickly run into the trap of having the data but missing actionable insights. A skilled data analyst will help you to build the right data architecture, develop clear reporting dashboards and help you to find answers about your business, users and marketing. Without this role you will do the wrong things at the wrong times and almost certainly lose money.
Skill Set: You'll want to find a number cruncher who has a positive attitude to tech. Skills in customer behavior analytics, campaign analytics, understanding of machine learning, attribution modeling and most importantly ability to understand business needs and communicate the data with other team members are all essential.
Experience: Mobile analytics, data mining, ETL processes, data visualisation, R, Python, SQL… A previous background in mobile isn't necessary, with an "only digital" level of experience usually being enough – at least at the start.
Mindset: You should look for a modern-era Colombo; a data detective who looks for stories in numbers and loves a deep discussion about your business. The person must be open to directly present findings to business owners and marketers.
Why is creative director important? With the potential for information overload, the ability to communicate clearly and catch people's attention is priceless. To be successful your creative director needs to be able to follow quickly changing visual trends and different media formats specific to mobile. If you won't have a creative personality with the mobile knowledge it could end up a little bit like speaking Japanese to a French baker.
Skill Set: A creative personnel that is skilled at designing a customer experience with monetization as the main goal. The key skill is the ability to distil the message and simplify the business in a form which is accessible for customers. No Photoshop or Sketch skills necessary, this is a "pen and paper" kind of role that favours an idea maker who can set the direction and manage the creative process with designers, animators or video makers inside or outside of the company.
Experience: Previous time spent working through the app development process is a big advantage as there are tons of great art directors who don't get specifics of mobile. Understanding of animation, video production, design software and the overall creative process is necessary too. A big part of the work is leading artists and daily communication.
Mindset: Being imaginative and a bit of a dreamer isn't a problem for the Creative Director,. Playing it safe and following others is. Your creative director should be hyper-critical with a very strong vision, but yet still be open to discussion.

For many teams, employing such a skilled and varied mobile marketing team could be considered a bit premature considering their dev team size. Also, it could be ineffective at a certain stage, as the development could take years before the marketing team has a product ready to launch.
Personally, my experience leads me to conclude that the critical role in the process is the mobile marketing manager who can – to some extent – manage other roles outside of the company. Yet the seamless cooperation of experienced experts complementing each other brings real benefits.
It's tempting to keep costs as low as you can, but our experience at AppAgent shows us that if you believe all of these roles can be done 100% by a single person, it's unrealistic.
At the end of the day, this department drives your growth, and that's what all of us want.

The innovative research experiment was conducted to develop high seed yielding genotype (JMM 991) with high oil content along with tolerance to Alternaria blight. An average increase in seed yield of 37% was obtained from zone II and V over Varuna in IVT. In advance trial, JMM 991 gave 22 % and 18% increases in seed yield over Kranti and Varuna respectively; whereas, the cumulative average of seed yield of zone II, repeat II and IV zone has showed the reverse trend over Varuna and Kranti, which is an increase of 13% and 6% respectively. Maximum seed yield 9.10 (g/plant) was recorded which is higher than Varuna (8.28 g/plant) and Kranti (6.19 g/plant). Highest oil content (42%) was recorded against checks namely Kranti (38%) and Varuna (37%) respectively. Test weight (1000 seed) indicated that it ranges from 4.43 to 4.90 (g) against Varuna (4.5 to 5.3 g). Interestingly, it showed non-significant differences between developed genotype and Varuna (check) gave 4.58 (g) and check had 4.63 (g) in the all IVT (irrigated and rainfed) trials both trials were conducted at 16 locations. Similar trend was noticed in the oil content (%) in both IVT and AVT trials; where it showed 39 and 38.6 (%) which is at par with Varuna. Most significantly, JMM 991 gave oil yield of 589 (kg/h) over varuna 476 (kg/h) which is 24% increase. Thus, this developed strain gave best performance under irrigated and rain-fed condition over checks. Moderate resistance to Alternaria blight was observed.

1) [dingomick] 2-9-2007(209): The prostitute carries an old whiskey bottle filled with acid to throw at any difficult Johns.

2) [meolox] 29-1-2008(113): Dealing alcohol requires a license, dealing acid requires fast legs (to run from the police).

3) [Corodon] 22-1-2009(71): I stopped doing acid, and am living the clean life. Well, aside from all the whiskey and prostitutes.

4) [Copycatken] 8-4-2009(10): The punishment for people who sell whiskey without a license is harsh: acid is poured onto their walking legs.

5) [sweetneet] 30-8-2006(9): Sometimes ppl put acid into their alcohol to make it taste bad (so you won't want to drink it anymore). this guy uses this technique to give up drinking alcohol, since due to the number of his DUIs he had gotten his driver's license suspended and thus must make use of his walking legs (an inconvenience!).

Q: How to include variables in a string? I'm doing some coursework and I need to determine a character's name. This is what I have so far:
charOne=input("Please input your first character's name: ")
charTwo=input("Please input your second character's name: ")

So the user inputs the names, and now I need to ask the user to choose one of these characters.
chooseCharacter=input("What character do you want to use?"

I need to put the users charOne and charTwo into the question. Or some way need to make the user choose the user they want to use.

A: Use Python string formatting:
charOne = input("Please input your first character's name: ")
charTwo = input("Please input your second character's name: ")

chooseCharacter = input("What character do you want to use? (%s or %s): " % (charOne, charTwo))

Let's go to the movies – Friday 11 – 17 November,2011
Mark Gernpy
Now playing in Pattaya
In Time: US, Crime/ Sci-Fi/ Thriller – I quite enjoyed this film! It has one of the most intriguing premises of recent movies: In a future where time is literally money, and aging stops at 25, the only way to stay alive is to earn, steal, or inherit more time. You need to stretch your beliefs a bit to swallow all this, but once you do you're in for a fun and stylish ride with a bit of social commentary. It's a quietly angry picture – an extended metaphor for the way corporations suck the life from the poor and the not-quite-middle-class.
A young man (the ubiquitous and ever more excellent Justin Timberlake) lives life a minute at a time, until a windfall of time gives him access to the world of the wealthy, where he teams up with a beautiful young heiress to destroy the whole corrupt system. Also stars Cillian Murphy, Alex Pettyfer, Amanda Seyfried, and Olivia Wilde. An interesting style to it, and the art direction and cinematography are top notch. Mixed or average reviews. In English with Thai subtitles everywhere, and Big C also has a Thai-dubbed version.
Killer Elite: US/ Australia, Action/ Crime/ Thriller – The story pits two of the worlds' most elite operatives – an ex-special ops agent (Jason Statham) and his longtime mentor (Robert De Niro) – against the cunning leader of a secret military society (Clive Owen). Covering the globe from Australia to Paris, London and the Middle East, they are plunged into a highly dangerous game of cat and mouse – where the predators become the prey. Rated R in the US for strong violence, language, and some sexuality/ nudity; SF cinemas have a Thai rating of 18+, but Major has it as 15+. Mixed or average reviews. In English everywhere except Big C, where it's Thai-dubbed.
1911: China/ Hong Kong, Action/ Adventure/ Drama/ History/ War – A historical drama based on the founding of the Republic of China when nationalist forces led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Directed by and starring Jackie Chan. A lavishly illustrated history lesson with more than a touch of Chinese government propaganda which avoids completely some currently uncomfortable topics. Even the irrepressible Jackie Chan (this is his 100th film) seems subdued. Rated R in the US for war violence, 15+ in Thailand. Shown only in a Thai-dubbed version. Generally unfavorable reviews.
Tower Heist: (Scheduled) US, Action/ Comedy/ Crime – Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, and Casey Affleck lead an all-star cast in a comedy caper about ordinary working guys who seek revenge on the Wall Street swindler who stiffed them in a Ponzi scheme. Mixed or average reviews.
Dream House: US, Drama/ Mystery/ Thriller – A family unknowingly moves into a home where several grisly murders were committed, only to find themselves the killer's next target. Stars Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and Naomi Watts. Generally unfavorable reviews, describing it as slow and stuffy, and way too obvious to be scary. Pattaya Beach only.
Top Secret / Wai Roon Pan Lan: Thai, Drama – Based on a true story of a teenage boy – "Top" Aitthipat Kulapongvanich – who was wasting his time with online games until a twist of fate changed him from an ordinary teenager to a young billionaire at 27 by creating his Tao Kae Noi seaweed-snack company when he was just out of his teens. "Top" is his nickname, so the title really reads "Top's Secret (to success)."
The movie's teen billionaire is portrayed by Patchara "Peach" Chirathivat, the young actor who made his scene-stealing debut in the rock 'n' roll movie SuckSeed earlier this year. The director is Songyos Sugmakanan, one of the six directors of the legendary Thai film Fan Chan (My Girl), a film whose charm and influence on the Thai movie industry is incalculable. It's one of my very favorite Thai movies. Songyos also directed another favorite, Dek Hor (The Dorm), a brilliant and spooky coming-of-age story.
30+ Single on Sale: Thai, Comedy/ Romance – A woman in her 30's faces misfortunes in love and struggles to find her soul mate, but thinks her chances are nearly over now that she's thirty – especially now that a fortune teller tells her that if she doesn't find a man soon, she'll have to wait 20 years before another one comes along. Has been a big hit in Thailand. With popular Thai stars Arak (Pe) Amornsupsiri and Cherman Boonyasak.
30 Kam Lung Jaew: Thai, Comedy/ Romance – Not to be confused with the above! Ja, a beautiful woman, has everything a woman is supposed to dream of having: a successful career, a partying lifestyle, and a handsome sweetheart. On her 30th birthday, Ja finds her perfect life changed when her boyfriend wants to halt the relationship. Now, at thirtysomething, she accepts a happy single life until a new guy gets in her life – and he's seven years younger than she is. This one is Thai-only everywhere.
Johnny English Reborn: US/ France/ UK, Comedy – Rowan Atkinson returns to the role of the most unlikely intelligence officer in Her Majesty's Secret Service, where he must stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. He is in truth a very funny man, and you'll likely be surprised to find out how much you're laughing uncontrollably. Mixed or average reviews – some people simply aren't moved by his brand of humor. Pattaya Beach only (as of last Wednesday).
The Smurfs 3D: US, Animation/ Adventure/ Comedy/ Family/ Fantasy – The little blue people too cute for words, famed from a 421-episode Saturday morning television series in the US from 1981-90, have a New York City adventure in a hybrid live-action/ animated format. Neil Patrick Harris is the main human character, Jonathan Winters and Anton Yelchin among the stellar voices for the cuddly creatures. Generally unfavorable reviews, but though a bit mean-spirited, I thought it was nevertheless a fun riff on New York City. Kids and fans of the characters will probably love it. Only at Pattaya Beach, and it's shown in 3D (as of Wednesday).
The Three Musketeers 3D: Germany/ France/ UK/ US, Action/ Adventure/ Romance – The hot-headed young D'Artagnan along with three former legendary but now down-on-their-luck Musketeers must unite and defeat a beautiful double agent and her villainous employer from seizing the French throne and engulfing Europe in war. An action-filled re-imagining of the Alexandre Dumas classic that I found thoroughly enjoyable in all respects – the photography, the location shooting, the costumes, the acting, the action, the script. All really quite superior. Christoph Waltz plays the villainous Cardinal Richelieu, Orlando Bloom plays a duplicitous Buckingham always full of surprises, and the delightful Logan Lerman plays D'Artagnan. Generally unfavorable reviews, but I liked it. At Pattaya Beach only, in 3D, as of last Wednesday.
Contagion: US, Drama/ Sci-Fi/ Thriller – Strange: I found this a poor film with some very good things in it. It should have been a very scary movie, playing upon and clarifying some basic terrors currently active in our society. But despite the intensity of the individual scenes it didn't add up to much of an impact for me, because it was too diffuse. Too many individual stories, each only briefly told. No single compelling point of view. But: Generally favorable reviews.
Soon after her return from a business trip to Hong Kong, a woman (Gwyneth Paltrow) dies from what looks like flu or something similar. Her young son dies a few days later. Her husband (Matt Damon in a small but crucial role, played wonderfully) seems immune. Thus begins the spread of a deadly infection. For doctors and administrators at the US Center for Disease Control, several days pass before anyone realizes the extent or gravity of this new infection. They must first identify the type of virus in question and then find a means of combating it, a process that will likely take several months. As the contagion spreads to millions of people worldwide, societal order begins to break down as people panic. A large and impressive cast, including Jude Law – disturbing in a strangely written part of a blogger with too many cross-currents to be believable; Laurence Fishburne – playing an ineffectual character far removed from his usual persona; and Marion Cotillard, Elliott Gould, Kate Winslet, many others. At Major Cineplex only, as of last Wednesday, in digital (but not 3D).

Patrick Demarchelier's New Christie's Retrospective Comes With Pet Portraits—And No Nostalgia
Alessandra Codinha
Photo: Patrick Demarchelier
Patrick Demarchelier—that famed lensman who has shaped the way that we see fashion for more than four decades—is really not a fan of posing. The key to a strong portrait lies in the truth of the subject, he says, a certain natural quality; "for people to be who they are, to be themselves." And on the eve of his first retrospective in the United States—more than 75 of his iconic images, varying in subject, context, and setting, from portraits and fashion to nudes and nature will premiere with a private fête tomorrow night at Christie's, hosted by WME|IMG's Art + Commerce to celebrate New York Fashion Week (and will run from October 2 to October 12, to coincide with the photography auctions on October 5 and 6)—the iconic photographer considers a career spent snug in the eye of the fashion industry as something of a happy accident: "It came naturally," he says. "I didn't think about a career. I didn't plan it. It came to me."
Demarchelier began his relationship with Vogue in 1974, when he was hired by Conde Nast Editorial Director Alexander Liberman, and went on to capture everyone from the supers of the nineties (Christy, Linda, Naomi, Cindy, et al) to the crew behind _The September Issu_e—alongside a lissome, leaping Caroline Trentini, of course. "Everyone is the same to me. I photograph people. It doesn't matter if they're a star or not," says Demarchelier, and to that end, his favorite image from the collection at Christie's—actually, his favorite portrait—is not of a notable name, sublime scenery, or a particularly arresting model, but of his long-haired dachshund, Puffy. "One of my best portraits," he exclaims. "He had no fear of the camera." Which begs the question, how does a connoisseur of the here and the now and the always very natural feel about all the pomp and circumstance and necessary nostalgia of a retrospective? Trick question—he doesn't. "I like to think of it as an exhibition, and not necessarily a retrospective," says the photographer. "I like to mix pictures—old and new. I don't like looking back, but always focus on looking to the future." We wouldn't expect anything less.

Amb. Michel Duclos is a nonresident senior fellow with the Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East focused on Syria and the Levant.
Amb. Duclos began his diplomatic career at the Policy Planning Staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in France, where he served as Deputy Director from 1984 to 1987. He then became Counselor at the French Embassy in Moscow and subsequently in Bonn during the time of perestroika and the unification of Germany. He directed the MFA's disarmament section from 1994 to 1998 when France resumed nuclear testing, and was involved in negotiating the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
In Brussels from 1998 to 2002, he served as Ambassador of France to the WEU. He was Deputy Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations in New York from 2002 to 2006, during the conflict over Iraq and the reform summit of the 2005 United Nations. He served as Ambassador of France to Syria from 2006 to 2009 at a key moment during bilateral Franco-Syrian relations. He subsequently served as Diplomatic Counselor in the Cabinet of the Ministry of the Interior from 2009 to 2012 and as Ambassador of France to Switzerland from 2012 to 2014.
Amb. Duclos has written extensively on international issues, and has always followed closely the work of think tanks and parallel diplomacy structures. In February 2016 he assumed the leadership of the International Diplomatic Academy as Director General, where he focuses on governance issues, economic diplomacy and mediation as a means toward conflict resolution. He also serves as a Senior Advisor for Institut Montaigne, a French think tank focused on improving economic competitiveness and social cohesion.


NEW DELHI - Gunfighting at a besieged restaurant in the Bangladeshi capital ended on Saturday and between eight and ten hostages were rescued by commandos who were still inside the building, a police official said.
Gunmen attacked the restaurant in the diplomatic area of Dhaka late on Friday and took about 20 hostages, including foreigners, before police stormed the building to free those stuck inside.
The number of gunmen and hostages still in the restaurant was not clear, Mizanur Rahman Bhuiyan, a deputy director at the Rapid Action Battalion force, told Reuters.


Massive Attack emerged yesterday with new music delivered via an interactive app called Fantom. The app takes data from the user's environment (camera images, movement, time of day, and even heartbeat) to remix four new tracks. As the band teased via Instagram, it appears fans will soon be able to hear the original masters of the songs on a physical release.
Band member Robert Del Naja, aka 3D, posted an image that looks to be the back of a vinyl sleeve for an EP entitled Ritual Spirit. (Note the fine-print credits and the light glare.) The tracklist features all four tracks featured on Fantom, also confirming the collaborators involved in each. Azekel guests on the title track, "Voodoo In My Blood" features Mercury Prize-winning hip-hop group Young Fathers, "Take It There" features Tricky, and "Dead Editors" has vocals from Roots Manuva.
There's no caption accompanying the post, so it's not clear how or when this release will become available. Reached for contact, the band's press representative confirmed that it would not be out today, but offered no comment beyond that. What does seem to be clear, however, is that Massive Attack is gearing up for their first release since 2010's Heligoland.

Дінострат (грецький : Δεινόστρατος, 390—320 рр. до н. е.) — грецький математик і геометр, брат Менехма. Він відомий завдяки квадратрисі, яка була винайдена для розв'язання проблеми квадратури кола.

Життя та праця
Головний внесок Дінострата в математику — рішення задачі про квадратуру кола. Щоб розв'язати цю проблему, Дінострат скористався трисектрисою Гіппія, для якої він довів особливу властивість (), яка дозволила йому знайти квадратуру кола. Завдяки цій роботі трисектриса пізніше стала відома як квадратриса Дінострата. Хоча Дінострат розв'язав проблему квадратури кола, він не використовував циркуля і лінійки одночасно, але на думку греків його рішення порушувало основоположні принципи їх математики. Тільки через дві тисячі двісті років потому Фердинандом фон Ліндеманом було показано, що квадратуру кола не можлива, якщо використовувати лише лінійку та циркуль.
