Perched majestically in the north of the European continent, is a cultural powerhouse. Often underestimated for its size, Belgium is not a mere stop over on the European highway. Belgium has been the stage for epoch making events in the bullet riddled European history. It has witnessed the rise and fall of the 20th century superpowers, hiding in the flat landscape the battlefields of Waterloo, Ypres and Passchendale. The nation is an art connosieur's dream; producing some of the finest renaissance art. Belgium's art galleries are replete with their fantastic works of artists such as Breughel, Van Dyck and Rubens. Belgium's architecture is a proof of artistic acumen. Streets of Ghent, Bruges or the capital Brussels are adorned with unparalleled renaissance art and architecture. Steeped in history, its cities also carry distinctly cosmopolitan and modern outlook. Strolling through the streets, it's hard to ignore the refinement of Belgian culture, a melting pot of French elegance and Dutch devil-may-care attitude. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Brussels's center where you can enjoy a sumptuous meal in a Michelin starred restaurant, or eat a paper cone of fries within yards of each other. Classy coffee joints sit cheek by jowl with dance-clubs. While sipping a hot cappuccino, one can overhear different languages at play. A far cry from its historical roots, Belgium also attracts party animals from across the globe to the worlds largest electronic music festival – Tommorrowland! Hence, while its easy to miss this tiny nation on the map, it's impossible to forget the memorable Belgian experience.

Women's Global Event Now Triple Its Original Size
The PDGA's initiative to bring more women to the sport takes place Saturday.
May 12, 2016 by Steve Hill in News with 0 comments
With nearly 1,700 participants in 11 countries, Saturday's Professional Disc Golf Association Women's Global Event is living up to its name.
Now comprised of 63 individual tournaments, the biennial celebration gives players the opportunity to play in one-day, two-round women's-only events and have their ratings compared to participants worldwide, all in an effort to unify disc golfers and grow the number of ladies playing the sport.
And it seems to be working. According to PDGA women's committee member Sara Nicholson, the number of women signed up for this year's event is 1,629, nearly triple the 575 women that took part in the first WGE in 2012.
"There have been so many women that their first event has been the Women's Global Event, and it's made them want to keep playing," Nicholson said. "The reputation of the event has been spread around and other women are telling new women, 'You've got to play in this event, it's fun. You'll love it.'"
Three-time PDGA Women's world champion Valarie Jenkins chairs the women's committee, and she attributes much of the event's growth to the committee's reliance upon, and the proliferation of, social media.
"The 2012 event was pretty small," Jenkins said. "Then in 2014, it was amazing. I just remember scrolling on my phone, scrolling on Facebook and seeing groups and groups of women smiling, [sharing] group shots, fun pictures. I can't even imagine what's going to go on this year now that everybody takes pictures and videos of everything."
And while the rapid growth of the event has been impressive, one look at the PDGA's membership demographics shows that the number of men still dwarfs that of women. It is something that PDGA Executive Director Brian Graham acknowledged as something the organization is working to improve, while also offering a clarification of the statistics.
"The thing people get caught up on is that they see that women make up seven percent of PDGA members, and that number has been pretty consistent between seven and eight percent for 10 years now," Graham said. "People get caught up on that and say, 'Well, women's disc golf is not really growing.' What they don't realize is that seven percent is of all PDGA members, and since our membership has doubled in the past four years – even though the seven percent number has stayed consistent – the number of women PDGA members has more than doubled."
With those numbers increasing thanks in large part to the WGE, the goal then transitions to retention of players. Jenkins and Nicholson both highlighted an increase in women's-specific disc golf leagues that can offer a more relaxed atmosphere for casual players, as well as off-year women's-only tournaments for players who catch the competitive fever.
And with large events like the 79-player Daisy Chains Women's Disc Golf Tournament in Watsonville, California, and the 132-person Chick Flick & Women of DGOD! in North Plains, Oregon, it's clear that there are plenty of women who do want to compete.
And they're coming back for more.
"Once these tournaments start, these women want to come out and create a reunion," Jenkins said, "and come back every year and play together and have a fun weekend together where it's just women."
Even if they are not playing in tournaments on a global scale, Graham said that the PDGA has taken notice of an increase in the number of women flocking to disc golf courses, regardless of if they are members of the organization.
"We see women's disc golf growing at the recreational level, and that's satisfying," Graham said.

Panel Examines University Chancellor's Actions Prompting MLK's "Letter from Birmingham Jail"


Acclaimed lifestyle group Nobu Hospitality LLC announced plans for the development of the luxury boutique Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Chicago with a leading U.S. real estate development firm on Wednesday.
The Nobu Hotel and Restaurant will be located in the vibrant area of the West Loop on the corner of Randolph and Preoria Streets and is planned to open early 2016.
"Chicago's tourism industry continues to see record growth because renowned venues like Nobu are investing in expanding options for Chicagoans and tourists," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "This hotel and restaurant builds on the city's great hospitality and culinary offerings to further cement Chicago's role as a world-class city."
"The City of Chicago is an extremely important destination for Nobu Hospitality and our shareholders Chef Nobu, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper," added Trevor Horwell, Chief Executive of Nobu Hospitality. "As one of the key global cities of the world, Chicago is already a magnet for business and leisure travelers offering unique venues for dining, entertainment and enjoyment, and we look forward to embracing the values, the traditions and desires of the people of Chicago. We also look forward to working with the City of Chicago to deliver a unique and special destination which reflects our overall growth strategy of expanding with other properties to 24-hour gateway cities, both in the U.S. and internationally."
The Nobu Hotel Chicago will join the expanding collection of Nobu Hotels. That includes the highly-successful Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, which was named as one of the Hottest New Hotels of 2013 by CNN, as well as other properties in development, including Eden Roc Miami Beach, the Nobu Hotel City of Dreams Manila, and the Nobu Hotel Riyadh.
Nobu was recently named as the one of the world's top 25 innovative luxury brands by Robb Report.

The Young Karl Marx (12A) | Close-Up Film Review
Dir: Raoul Peck, Germany, 2017, 118 mins.
Cast: August Diehl, Stefan Konarske, Vicky Krieps
More about the political life of Karl Marx than his personal life. The Young Karl Marx also chronicles how Friedrich Engels entered Marx's life and contributed to his literary work.
Feted as the director of the Oscar nominated documentary I Am Not Your Negro, Raoul Peck has co-written a thoughtful movie about how communism was born. Only 26 at the start of the film, we see Karl Marx as a young man living with his wife, Jenny (Vicky Krieps, who was outstanding in The Phantom Thread) and struggling with lack of money.
Meanwhile Fredrich Engels (Stefan Konarske), who is the son of a wealthy mill owner, is unhappy at the conditions that his father's workers must endure. Engels and Marx meet and are at first antagonistic, one towards the other. Engels is very rich, while Marx is living in extreme poverty. However, they grow to admire each other's work and they come together to work on the new ideas of what was to become communism.
Marx is expelled by the French and goes to England with Jenny and his children. Engels leave too and they join the League of the Just, a socialist group led by the ideas of Pierre Proudhon (Oliver Gourmet). When they break away from Proudhon, Engels announces that the League of the Just is to become the Communist League.
It's a long film – two hours – of non-stop talk about political theories. The result is the Communist Manifesto and we see Marx hard at work on it helped by Engels. The Manifesto was eventually published in 1848.
Marx's wife, Jenny, supports her husband and endures the poverty of their early life together. She continues to support and assist him in his work later. Engels falls for a millworker called Mary Burns (Hannah Steele), who he eventually marries. She, too, is supportive to her husband and his ideas and helps him in his work. Towards the end Karl and Friedrich are two very different man. Apart from their individual contributions to their joint endeavour, the two men and their wives become very close as all four pursue the new ideas.
August Diehl's Mark and Stefan Konarske show how different they are. While Marx struggles with poverty for a great deal of his life, Engels has a wealthy family. The relationship between the two men is much more focused on than that of the men and their wives.
The film in German and English, with subtitles, is directed in a style that illuminates the thinking behind the work of Karl Mark and Friedrich Engels. Beginning in Cologne in 1843, it moves along in years and places – we see Berlin and England, and touch on Brussels and Ostend.
We're celebrating the 200th birthday of Marx and a lot has changed, particularly recently, as a result of his and Engels work which has had an enormous influence on modern socialism. The end montage illustrates this as we leave the cinema to Bob Dylan's Dylan's Like a rolling stone.

The word 'excited' does not describe how I feel right now.
The Miami Heat (my boys) have reached their 19th consecutive win beating the Atlanta Hawks 98-81. My boy, Dwyane Wade scored a total of 23 points, Lebron James 15, Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers scored 14 a piece. Seven Heat players logged more than 3 1/2 minutes of time in the 1st quarter ... all seven scored (sweeet!).
This is the 5th longest streak in NBA history. Only 3 teams have won 20 consecutive games in the same season. The Lakers (1971-72), Houston Rockets (2007-08) and the Milwaukee Bucks (1970-71).
The crowd at the American Airlines Arena (Miami - my hometown) was 20,350 people ... a record for a regular season game.
The Heat is leading the Eastern Conference race by 9 1/2 games over Indiana and New York. Miami will be trying for their 20th straight win tomorrow night at Philadelphia.
Wishing my boys the best of luck ... and as for the pictures, yes, the dogs are HUGE Miami Heat fans as well!!

Inside Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden's Super-Private Marriage
Did you know Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have been married for four years?
As one of Hollywood's most famous stars, it's weird to think that we don't know all that much about Diaz's marriage with the 39-year-old Good Charlotte guitarist.
The couple married in an intimate ceremony on Jan. 5 2015, and first began dating in May 2014.
Following high-profile romances with Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto and Alex Rodriguez that dominated headlines for years, Diaz's relationship with Madden, the twin brother of Joel Madden, pal Nicole Richie's husband, has been surprisingly low-key…which is exactly how she wants it.
In fact, the couple never even publicly confirmed they were engaged, with Diaz slightly opening up to Cosmopolitan in 2015 about her romance with the rocker.
"You have to find someone in the same place as you are. Timing is everything," the Charlie's Angels star, who knew Madden for years before they began dating, said. "If you get into a relationship where you want something the guy doesn't want, it's never gonna work. You're never going to get him to be in that place. No matter how old you are, finding the guy who's in the same place as you are and wants to show up is the only way a relationship works, period."

And Diaz shared her perspective on her previous relationships, choosing to look at them as lessons rather than mistakes.
"Here's the thing: You make the same mistake over and over again until you learn your lesson," the 42-year-old Other Woman actress says. "We girls sometimes do the thing where we pick the same person over and over again—they look and seem different, but deep down, they're the same. And that's on us."
Still, in an interview with Marie Claire in 2014, Diaz said marriage wasn't the be-all, end-all for her.
"I'm not looking for a husband or marriage or not not looking for that stuff," she said. "I'm living, not thinking what I should or shouldn't be doing with my life."
So what was it about Madden, whom she met through Richie, that made him the one for Diaz?
Well, for starters, it seems like it wasn't really about Madden at all: it was about Diaz finding herself after two decades of non-stop work in the entertainment industry, traveling all around the world from one job to the next.
Dave Spencer/Splash News
"I just went, 'I can't really say who I am to myself.' Which is a hard thing to face up to," she said at the Goop Wellness Summit in 2017. "I felt the need to make myself whole."
In doing that, Diaz retired from acting, with 2014's Annie remake being her last onscreen role.
On the panel, her good friend and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow, who recently married Brad Falchuk, asked Diaz about why she never wed until she was 41.

"I think it's a matter of I just hadn't met my husband, you know? I had boyfriends before. And there's a really, really distinct difference between husbands and boyfriends," she explained. "And I have a husband who is just my partner in life and in everything. Talk about two very different people! We are so different from one another, but we share the same values—we're totally two peas in a pod. We are both just weird enough for each other."
She continued, "We women are objectified so much. Somehow my husband has just been able to kind of show me what it's like not to have that be a part of a relationship, and being an equal."
Diaz also found an immediate family after she married Madden, as Richie, also participating on the Goop panel, shared that the Maddens are "a very close family. They rely on each other. When we got together it was like, you're just in the family. It's a large support system."
Diaz then went on to say she's never felt loved by anyone in her previous relationships in the same way Madden has supported her.
"I never experienced that before. I'd never been loved in that way," she admitted. "I look at him every day and he inspires me—he works so hard. I feel so lucky."
Madden seems to feel just as lucky to have found Diaz after his own string of high-profile relationships, including romances with Paris Hilton, Katy Perry, Holly Madison and Australian star Sophie Monk, who he was once engaged to.
Though he doesn't post often about his wife on social media, the dedicated a sweet Instagram post to her on her 46th birthday in August.
"There's so much to write, so many things that make me so proud of you and how special you are," he wrote. "Thank you for being the best friend and partner to me and taking this journey of Marriage."
True Love ❤
A post shared by Benji Madden (@benjaminmadden) on Apr 15, 2018 at 7:35pm PDT
He added, "The way you live your life everyday, and your compassion for the world shines thru in your eyes and you inspire me to want to be the best man I can be in this lifetime. You're the realest. I'm so grateful to be yours Always&Forever, and to call you my One&Only. True Love."
The previous year, for her 45th birthday, he called himself "the LUCKIEST guy ALIVE" in an Instagram caption, writing, "I don't think anyone could ever know the Depth, Kindness, and Compassion that I get to experience everyday thanks to My One and Only."
Happy Birthday Baby❤ There's so much to write, so many things that make me so proud of you and how special you are🌹Thank you for being the best friend and partner to me and taking this journey of Marriage. The way you live your life everyday, and your compassion for the world shines thru in your eyes and you inspire me to want to be the best man I can be in this lifetime. You're the realest. I'm so grateful to be yours Always&Forever, and to call you my One&Only. True Love ❤

In 2016, the notoriously private Diaz opened up about knowing Madden was the one for her the moment they met.
"It was one of those things where everyone tells you, 'You just know when you know.' I was like, 'What does that mean?' Oh, I get it. You just know when you know. Like you're my husband," Cameron explained to Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM radio show.
She also revealed her first impression of Madden: "The first thing I said when I first met my husband was, 'He's hot.' How come I didn't know this before? We had never been in the same circle."
But, like she said, you just know when you know.
KHAPGG/AKM-GSI
Diaz and Madden officially became man and wife in front of 100 guests at her Beverly Hills home in 2015, with her now sister-in-law Richie and BFF Drew Barrymore serving as bridesmaids. "We got married in our living room in front of our friends," she revealed on Radio Andy, "had a little party in our backyard on the tennis court and yeah. Otherwise it would have been something else."
And it seems it's been wedded bliss for the couple ever since.
"That's how I know he's my husband… No one compares. Everything else just like washes and slips away," she told Cohen. "You realize like, 'Oh this is like the real thing is. This is what real love is. This is what real commitment and devotion is. This is the person you build your life with."
In 2015, Madden made his love for Diaz permanent, tattooing her name on his chest.
"Thinking bout you❤❤❤ #LuckyMan," he captioned his tattoo's debut in an Instagram post.
Since leaving acting behind in 2014 after becoming one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses, it's been a low-key life for Diaz, who isn't often seen in public aside from the occasional grocery run or appearance on Paltrow or Barrymore's Instagram feeds.
She's turned her focus to wellness, writing two books with Sandra Bark about health and aging, including 2016's The Longevity Book: The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time. She's enjoyed romantic vacations with her husband and friends, including a romantic trip this summer to Italy.
An eyewitness who saw them in Florence told E! News that Diaz and Madden looked "very much in love," adding, "They walked around with their arms around each other always laughing and talking sweetly to one another. They are crazy about each other and it shows."
And at the Goop Summit, Diaz said she and her husband "are totally two peas in a pod. We're both just weird enough for each other. He's my perfect little weirdo and I'm his perfect little weirdo."
Here's to many more years of these two perfect little weirdos living happily ever after.

Working with microservices framework still a challenge in 2016
2016 brought along some changes in how organizations work with microservices -- changes that had both positive and negative outcomes. Tom Nolle explains.
Technology innovation is often hampered by fast-moving waves of hype that confuse senior management with benefit claims that can't be met early in a technology's evolution. Microservices really took off as a concept in 2016 and have been vulnerable to premature expectations.
Fortunately, a number of factors have relieved a lot of the pressure on delivering results, and microservices may have had more impact already than some technologies have had in decades.
Containers and cloud
One major development was the association between microservices and both containers and private clouds. Enterprise private clouds have drawn from public cloud technology, which imposes a fairly large overhead to assure tenant security. Containers -- and, in particular, Docker -- presented businesses with a lightweight way of virtualizing server resources, one that could efficiently run dozens of lightweight components on a single server. Since the microservices framework is made up of small components, the fit was perfect.
The combination of microservices and containers promotes a totally different vision of how services change application development. In the past, we've expected monolithic applications to morph first into service-based applications and then evolve into smaller services -- microservices. Now, there are signs that new applications could adopt a service-based model but focus first on microservices. The reason is that good microservice development practices ensure that they'll scale dynamically in the cloud and also facilitate component reuse.
Microservices are far better represented in blogs and the media than in enterprise applications.
Another significant microservices development in 2016 was the growing acceptance of the notion that microservices were stateless. One of the challenges of distributed cloud applications is making sure that multiple applications or users don't try to use the same resources at the same time. Applications that hold data between successive messages are stateful, and they're susceptible to this kind of destructive collision. Because microservices are designed to be used by many different applications and users, they are built to be stateless, which promotes a model of component development that's useful not only in a microservices framework but also in thread or stream programming.
We saw evidence of this stateless mindset in 2016. By the end of the year, development conferences were addressing the idea of using functional programming in a microservices framework. Functional programming generates naturally small atoms of code, and the languages almost dictate stateless design. We may see the symbiosis between functional programming and microservices emerge as a major driver to new development practices.
Issues of misuse
Not everything that happened in 2016 was positive. The most challenging new issue was the risk that microservices would outrun tools and skills and be misused. Part of this problem arises from the positive linkages of microservices to containers, functional programming and stream programming. All of these developments are still being absorbed by enterprise programming teams, and the fact that they also encourage microservices expands the scope of changes that architects and programmers face.
We learned in 2016, for example, that a microservice application deployed in containers and taking full advantage of scalability is difficult to design because of the variability in performance that could arise depending on just how the microservices used are deployed at a given moment. Latency is rarely a major problem in directly coupled components, but it can completely break an application if components are inefficiently coupled over a network. And the more components there are, the worse the problem can be. Even deciding what latency might be and controlling it in design is difficult.
Even greater problems can arise when users report poor performance or outright failure. An application that depends on a whole set of distributed components, some of which exist in multiple copies and require dynamic application of work, is totally outside the experience of most operations specialists. Even determining the actual components involved in servicing a given user may be difficult, and when you look at current workflows, you can almost expect that the pattern you see isn't the one that prevailed moments ago when users noticed the problem.
Critical design considerations
What real user microservices experiences have shown this year is that traditional tools and practices for application design, application lifecycle management and deployment/redeployment have to be updated or at the least used differently. One thing that became very clear is that API management and API gateways are not only critical to using microservices, but critical in insuring that security and compliance goals are met and that applications run stably and predictably. The microservices trend is establishing API management and API gateways as critical elements in application design and management, even extending beyond the scope of microservice adoption. But despite the interest in microservices, this practice was far from universal in 2016.
In fact, microservices are far better represented in blogs and the media than in enterprise applications. Experience in microservice design is limited, and software architects in particular have failed to ensure that microservice-componentization is adopted only where benefits outweigh the costs. Many early attempts at microservice-based applications have failed because the attempts were simply badly targeted. That targeting problem will have to be fixed in 2017 and beyond.
The sum of the state of microservices in 2016 is both positive and negative. We learned how to apply microservices to new developments, where microservices can promote efficient programming practices and fully realize the agility and elasticity of the cloud. We also learned that microservice-based development not only imposes different rules on development teams, but also imposes different rules on operations personnel and impacts the entire application lifecycle management flow. Most of all, we learned that migrating current applications to a microservices framework can be a major challenge. How far we can take microservices in the future will depend on how well these challenges are met, and whether the positive results microservices have brought can extend to cover the risks.

Plan EU-a za oporavak gospodarstva od koronakrize, sveobuhvatni europski plan oporavka. Predložila ga je Europska komisija. Ustanovljen je radi lakšeg otklanjanja štete koju je pandemija koronavirusa prouzročila gospodarstvu (tzv. koronakriza) i društvu, radi poticanja europskog oporavka te za čuvati i otvarati radna mjesta. Zasniva se na iskorištavanju svih mogućnosti proračuna EU-a.

Cilj
Cilja se mobilizirati ulaganja. Za ih mobilizirati, Europska komisija predlaže dvostruko djelovanje, preko pojačanog dugoročnog proračuna EU (Višegodišnjega financijskog okvira) za razdoblje 2021. – 2027. (1 100 milijardâ eura) i preko instrumenta EU sljedeće generacije() (Next Generation EU), novog instrumenta za oporavak vrijedna 750 milijardâ eura, koji će novim sredstvima prikupljenima na financijskim tržištima povećati financijsku moć proračuna EU-a u razdoblju 2021. – 2024. godine. Instrument EU sljedeće generacije uvest će stupove potpore za oporavak država članica, poticaja pokretanju gospodarstva i privatnim ulaganjima te izvlačenje pouka iz krize. Kroz mehanizme u tim stupovima sredstva će se usmjeriti gdje su najkorisnija te će nadopunjavati i pojačavati najvažnije aktualne mjere u državama članicama.

Cilj plana je uz ublažavanje štete prouzročene pandemijom, i ulaganje u zeleni, digitalni, socijalni i otporniji EU, tj. za postizanje ciljeva EU-a u pogledu klimatske neutralnosti i digitalne transformacije, za pružanje socijalne potpore i potpore pri zapošljavanju te za jačanje uloge EU-a kao globalnog igrača.

Financiranje
Da bi se financirala potrebna ulaganja, u ime EU-a Europska komisija (EK) će na financijskim tržištima izdavati obveznice. Dospijeće će im biti od 3 do 30 godina. Za omogućiti zaduživanje, EK će izmijeniti Odluku o vlastitim sredstvima i povećati fiskalni prostor – razliku između gornje granice vlastitih sredstava u dugoročnom proračunu (najviši iznos sredstava koje Unija može zatražiti od država članica za financiranje svojih izdataka) i stvarne potrošnje. Prikupljeni novac dodjeljuje se u nove proračunske instrumente EU-a ili u izmijenjene programe EU-a u obliku bespovratnih sredstava ili proračunskih jamstava.

Dana 27. svibnja 2020. Europska komisija je 27. svibnja predstavila Europskom parlamentu poticajni paket vrijedan 750 milijardâ eura, koji bi s revidiranim prijedlogom proračuna EU-a za 2021. – 2027. trebao pomoći kod ublažavanja šoka izazvanog koronavirusom i utabati put za održivu budućnost. Komisija je predložila posuđivanje novca na financijskim tržištima jer zbog visoka kreditna rejtinga, troškovi zaduživanja bit će niski. U obliku bespovratnih sredstava dodijelilo bi se ukupno 500 milijardi eura.

The Lord of the Rings Books
"The Lord of the Rings" books, that are written by author J. R. R. Tolkien, are high fantasy; they are also a classic telling of good versus evil. It is about Sauron, who is the dark lord that made the One Ring, and about the Fellowship, which is made up of nine creatures that have the mission of taking the Ring back to where it was forged to destroy it, which is a place called Mount Doom.

4 The Return of the King 1955 Description / Buy
At first, the series started out as a story that would serve as a follow up to "The Hobbit", Tolkien's previous novel; it grew into a much bigger body of work. The series has been published both as a trilogy and a large single edition, with the entire saga in one volume. The novels each of two books in them and have many appendices of assorted background materials in the back of them. The series was written over about twelve years, from the year 1937 until the year 1949, and has since been translated into many foreign languages, besides English. Tolkien started the series when he was 45 years old, and the books would not all be published until he was 63 years old.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS AWARDS:
The series won International Fantasy Award in the year 1957. It was put in the Prometheus Hall of Fame Award in the year 2009.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS BOOKS INTO MOVIES:
An animated adaptation, released in 1978, was made by Ralph Bakshi. The series was made into a trilogy of Academy Award winning movies by filmmaker Peter Jackson, this is the most known adaptation of the series.
BEST THE LORD OF THE RINGS BOOKS:
For those readers looking to get into the "Lord of the Rings" series written by author J. R. R. Tolkien, this section will help with that. It will go over the novels "The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers", and "The Return of the King".
The Fellowship of the Ring: This is the first novel in the "Lord of the Rings" series and was released in the year 1954. Rings of Power were forged by Elven smiths; Sauron made the One Ring, which has been filled with his own power and it allows him to rule over everyone else that lives in Middle-earth. The Ring was taken away from him, and was unable to find it, even though he looked for all throughout Middle-earth. Eons later, Bilbo Baggins ends up with it.
Bilbo gives it to his much younger cousin, named Frodo Baggins. This thrusts a large task onto him, as he is charged with the care of the Ring. Frodo has to odyssey across Middle Earth all the way to Doom. It is here he can destroy the One Ring, which will foil the Dark Lord in his master plans.
The Two Towers: This is the second novel in the "Lord of the Rings" series and was released in the year 1954. The Fellowship is scattered all over the place. Some were getting ready for war against Sauron (who is an ancient evil). Some were fighting off Saruman (an evil wizard).
Sam and Frodo are it to take the One Ring to Mordor (a dark place that Sauron has power in). Gollum is guiding them. He is full of lust for the ring and is prone to lying because he is a slave to the Ring.
The Return of the King: This is the third novel in the "Lord of the Rings" series and was released in the year 1955. The Fellowship get involved with different adventures as the quest to destroy the One Ring continues. Aragorn joins up with the Riders of Rohan against Isengard. He was part of the victory of Hornburg. He has been revealed as heir to the quite old Kings of the West.
Merry and Pip have been taken prisoner by the Orcs, and ran off, later finding the Ents in Fangorn Forest. Gandalf came back, which was a miracle, and defeated Saruman.
All the while, Smeagol accompanies Samwise and Frodo to their final destination of the Cracks of Doom. They fight off a giant spider, and Frodo ends up being taken by Orcs.
OTHER BOOK SERIES YOU MAY LIKE:
The "Alice in Wonderland" series by Lewis Carroll is another classic. This kids series, that appeals to both adults and children alike, is about a child who falls in a rabbit hole and goes to Wonderland. The series is set in the Victorian era.
Fans also enjoy the "Space Trilogy" series by C. S. Lewis. Elwin Ransom, who is a philologist, figures in all of the books in this series that is set on Mars, Earth, and Venus by the author of the Narnia books.
What Is The Next Book in The Lord Of The Rings Series?
There doesn't seem to be an upcoming book in The Lord Of The Rings Series. The newest book is The Return of the King and was released on October, 20th 1955.

La corioretinitis és la inflamació de la coroide (capa vascular pigmentada i prima de l'ull) i de la retina de l'ull. És una forma d'uveïtis posterior. Si només s'inflama la coroide i no la retina, el trastorn s'anomena coroïditis. L'objectiu de l'oftalmòleg en el tractament d'aquest trastorn que potencialment pot dur a la ceguesa és eliminar la inflamació, minimitzant el risc potencial de la teràpia per al pacient.

Clínica
Els símptomes poden incloure la presència de taques negres flotants, la visió borrosa, el dolor o envermelliment a l'ull, sensibilitat a la llum o llagrimeig excessiu.

Causes
La coriorretinitis sol ser causada per la toxoplasmosi i infeccions per citomegalovirus (sobretot vist en immunodeficients en persones amb sida o en tractament amb fàrmacs immunosupressors). La toxoplasmosi congènita (que és produïda per transmissió transplacentària) també pot conduir a seqüeles com ara corioretinitis amb hidrocefàlia i calcificacions cerebrals. Altres possibles causes de corioretinitis són la sífilis, la sarcoïdosi, la tuberculosi i l'oncocercosi.

Tractament
Es tracta amb una combinació de glucocorticoides i antibiòtics específics. Si hi ha una causa subjacent com la sida, caldrà també fer-ne el tractament.

New approaches to Seismic operations in disruptive times
07 Sep 2020by Article Sponsor
Sponsored by Marlink
The Coronavirus is changing working practices in the offshore energy markets, but may also create opportunities for those who embrace digitalisation
The current global crisis is a disruptive force for the entire oil and gas sector, not to mention business and society at large. On the exploration side, project cancellations and market instability are forcing companies to save costs to minimise economic exposure, while retaining the flexibility to quickly ramp activities up again as circumstances allow.
"This prompts the need to reconsider operational strategy and introduce new working practices," says Michael Owen, Director Energy, Maritime at Marlink, "based on more advanced technology solutions that move the industry forward."
Ramping up speed
Seismic exploration and imaging is one of the most data-intensive parts of the value chain, using some of the world's most powerful supercomputers available today. As exploration moved to deeper waters in more remote locations, satellite communications is the only viable connectivity option between vessels and shore.
Uplink bandwidth is key for sending massive image files and, historically, satellite services weren't cost-effective enough or capable of the speeds required. But that's changing. Today, a 20-25 Mbps uplink is a viable speed to transmit approximately 200GB of data in a 24-hour period, which is enough to reduce time to market and achieve adequate financial payback.
Seismic vessels that typically wish to send around 500GB of data a day can achieve this with a 50 Mbps link. At the top end, the requirement is approaching 1.5 terabytes a day, using a 150 Mbps link.
These figures are now feasible, but it all comes down to location, antenna size and capacity available on the satellite network. Moreover, this capacity needs to be mobile, as the survey vessel transits from one location to another every few months. Availability of satellite capacity relates to a specific geographic area and contract timing therefore needs to match the vessel's movement.
This may require stitching together coverage from multiple network operators across different bands, depending on what's available in a given area – although options are more limited in remote maritime areas compared to on land.
And since client operations are usually geographically distributed, highly secure transmission is required to multiple destinations, including corporate headquarters, regional offices, data centres and cloud services.
Reducing vessel size
In the short term, making best use of the bandwidth currently available will be the priority. In the longer term, these higher levels of bandwidth and mobility enable seismic survey companies to remove supercomputers from vessels.
"This reduces the need for specialists on board, who could manage the survey process remotely via the crew," argues Owen, "with the ultimate end game being reduced vessel size and associated cost savings this brings."
These may be steps too far for some companies, who prefer to retain processing on board – albeit smaller – and make physical copies of data recordings as back-up in the event of satellite network outages or equipment failure in this remote and challenging working environment.
In either scenario, any satellite communications provider worthy of consideration should be committing to end-to-end Service Level Agreements that assure a high level of network availability – at least 99.9% – and building redundancy into the network design.
Keeping staff safe
The need to keep staff safe during remote survey assignments has always been a priority, but never more so than now. Maintaining a sanitised working environment is creating significant operational challenges, particularly during crew changeovers.
Incoming crew need to be quarantined for up to 14 days, depending on local regulations. Or individuals may need to be socially isolated on board if they do start to show virus symptoms.
Welfare communications are even more important during this time. The ability to make video calls home, access email, social media, news and entertainment services is vital to maintaining morale during these enforced periods of downtime.
Plus, the ability to access telemedicine services from experts onshore offers some peace of mind when there may be a greater risk of a health emergency on board. Upgrading bandwidth to handle increased traffic from welfare communications is no longer nice to have, but necessary.
Restricted operational practices imposed by the current pandemic are likely to accelerate adoption of IoT applications. Remote management of processes using restricted links already in place can help keep operations running at minimal cost in the near term.
Sustainability and survivability
The current global crisis may have taken the spotlight off environmental concerns for the moment, but operating in a sustainable manner remains a strategic priority for seismic survey companies.
"Ultimately, if high-bandwidth, real-time satellite communications can accelerate the exploration process and reduce the number of days a vessel needs to spend at sea, then its contribution to cleaner, safer operations justifies the investment," concludes Owen.
But there will be communications providers who do not survive the economic trauma this crisis has unleashed. Sustainability, in this context, extends to supplier choice as well and who is trusted to be there for the long term.

Q: BGP ASN Peer information sources So I know of the RIB files from RouteViews which can viewed using BGPDump. Now this data set will be easily able to show me the AS trace paths meaning I can find the upstreams for each ASN and their relative announced prefixes.
My question is: how do I go about finding all the ASN peers (which are not acting as upstreams) for example if an ASN has presence in an IX they will have a few upstreams a bunch of peers.
Example: http://bgp.he.net/AS2764#_graph4 as you can see here the ASN has 2 upstreams (same thing reflected in the raw RouteViews data dumps)
while : http://bgp.he.net/AS2764#_peers there a whole bunch of peers.
tl;dr where and how do I get my ends on dataset which shows the peers for ASNs

A: You can check out http://www.cidr-report.org/as2.0/
Specific queries can be viewed using: http://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/as-report?as=AS1299
Just replaced the above AS with the one you want to look up.

You can add an androidx.appcompat.app.ActionBar to your activity when running on API level 7 or higher by extending this class for your activity and setting the activity theme to androidx.appcompat.R.style#Theme_AppCompat or a similar theme.
Set a Toolbar to act as the androidx.appcompat.app.ActionBar for this Activity window.
Obtain an android.content.Intent that will launch an explicit target activity specified by sourceActivity's androidx.core.app.NavUtils#PARENT_ACTIVITY <meta-data> element in the application's manifest.
Support library version of android.app.Activity#getActionBar.
Called when the night mode has changed.
Default constructor for AppCompatActivity. All Activities must have a default constructor for API 27 and lower devices or when using the default android.app.AppComponentFactory.
When set to a non-null value the getActionBar() method will return an androidx.appcompat.app.ActionBar object that can be used to control the given toolbar as if it were a traditional window decor action bar. The toolbar's menu will be populated with the Activity's options menu and the navigation button will be wired through the standard home menu select action.
@Nullable open fun getSupportParentActivityIntent(): Intent?
Obtain an android.content.Intent that will launch an explicit target activity specified by sourceActivity's androidx.core.app.NavUtils#PARENT_ACTIVITY <meta-data> element in the application's manifest. If the device is running Jellybean or newer, the android:parentActivityName attribute will be preferred if it is present.
@Nullable open fun getDrawerToggleDelegate(): ActionBarDrawerToggle.Delegate?
If a parent was specified in the manifest for this activity or an activity-alias to it, default Up navigation will be handled automatically. See getSupportParentActivityIntent() for how to specify the parent. If any activity along the parent chain requires extra Intent arguments, the Activity subclass should override the method onPrepareSupportNavigateUpTaskStack(androidx.core.app.TaskStackBuilder) to supply those arguments.
See the androidx.core.app.TaskStackBuilder class and the Activity methods getSupportParentActivityIntent(), supportShouldUpRecreateTask(android.content.Intent), and supportNavigateUpTo(android.content.Intent) for help implementing custom Up navigation.
Boolean: true if Up navigation completed successfully and this Activity was finished, false otherwise.
@Nullable open fun getSupportActionBar(): ActionBar?
ActionBar?: The Activity's ActionBar, or null if it does not have one.
If this method returns false the app can trivially call supportNavigateUpTo(android.content.Intent) using the same parameters to correctly perform up navigation. If this method returns false, the app should synthesize a new task stack by using androidx.core.app.TaskStackBuilder or another similar mechanism to perform up navigation.
AppCompatDelegate: The AppCompatDelegate being used by this Activity.
@Nullable open fun onWindowStartingSupportActionMode(@NonNull callback: ActionMode.Callback): ActionMode?
@Nullable open fun startSupportActionMode(@NonNull callback: ActionMode.Callback): ActionMode?
Navigate from sourceActivity to the activity specified by upIntent, finishing sourceActivity in the process. upIntent will have the flag android.content.Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP set by this method, along with any others required for proper up navigation as outlined in the Android Design Guide.
The default implementation of this method adds the parent chain of this activity as specified in the manifest to the supplied androidx.core.app.TaskStackBuilder. Applications may choose to override this method to construct the desired task stack in a different way.
Applications that wish to supply extra Intent parameters to the parent stack defined by the manifest should override onPrepareSupportNavigateUpTaskStack(androidx.core.app.TaskStackBuilder).
This method receives the androidx.core.app.TaskStackBuilder with the constructed series of Intents as generated by onCreateSupportNavigateUpTaskStack(androidx.core.app.TaskStackBuilder). If any extra data should be added to these intents before launching the new task, the application should override this method and add that data here.
Called when the night mode has changed. See AppCompatDelegate#applyDayNight() for more information.

Their war of words escalated Monday after Comey, in an ABC interview broadcast the night before, labelled Trump "morally unfit" for office.
Trump tweeted that Comey drafted an exoneration of Hillary Clinton long before he talked to her as part of an investigation into her email practices. He labelled Comey "disgruntled" and accused him and allies of having "committed many crimes." For his part, Comey has said that nine or 10 months into the Clinton probe, he had a "clear picture" where it was going and it's common to draft statements before an investigation is complete.
Comey's remarks, coupled with the release of his forthcoming book, offer his version of events surrounding his firing and the investigations into Russian election meddling and Clinton's email practices. Several of the episodes he describes in detail, including a private conversation about former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn, are central to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and his recollections are presumably valuable for prosecutors examining whether the president's actions constitute obstruction of justice.
The ex-FBI director, who until his firing in May led an investigation into possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, acknowledged that it was "stunning" to think that Russia could have damaging information about a U.S. president. But he said that in Trump's case, he could not discount the possibility that the president had been compromised.
"These are more words I never thought I'd utter about a president of the United States, but it's possible," Comey told ABC News' chief anchor George Stephanopoulos. He also acknowledged he had no proof that Russia has dirt on Trump: "I think it's possible. I don't know."
He also answered "possibly" when asked if the president was attempting to obstruct justice when he cleared the Oval Office of other officials in February 2017 before encouraging him to close the investigation into Flynn, who by that point was suspected of lying to the FBI about his Russian contacts. The retired general pleaded guilty in December and is now cooperating with Mueller's investigation.
Comey also said he believed Trump treated women like "pieces of meat."
Trump on Sunday rejected Comey's assertion that Trump had sought his loyalty at a January 2017 dinner, saying "I hardly even knew this guy. Just another of his many lies." He also suggested Comey should be imprisoned, tweeting, "how come he gave up Classified Information (jail), why did he lie to Congress (jail)." There is no indication Comey is under investigation for doing either.
The president began assailing Comey even before the interview came out.
