I selected the Lola camera bag in pink and absolutely adore it! Made from high-quality synthetic leather, this water resistant bag is both chic and completely functional as both a camera bag and an everyday purse! This stylish camera bag has six cushioned and lined Velcro panels that can easily move into any position to accommodate your gear. Check out everything I had in my Lola bag today!
Not only is it the perfect way for me to carry my DSLR with me more places, but now I do not have to lug my purse with me, too since this is pulling double duty. The outside slide pockets are perfect for slipping your phone in or anything else that you need quick access. It has two well-crafted short handles, but comes with a longer, cross-shoulder strap that is detachable. The Lola bag shifts easily from camera bag to purse with the removal of the dividers – but with as much space as you have, you probably can have it all with you, all the time!
I love having a camera bag that not only makes it easy to carry my camera and all of its accessories around with me, but also functions as a beautiful handbag, too. Epiphanie also offers an assortment of chic and fun camera bag charms that add just a touch of whimsy to your bag (and bling, too!). Now men, do not feel left out. Epiphanie did not forget about you! In addition to ultra stylish camera bags for woman, they offer attractive men's styles as well including a satchel style and a backpack version. Be sure to learn more about Epiphanie, their functional camera bags and upcoming specials by visiting them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram!

Kiev violates Minsk agreements. During the press conference "Somaly" unit commander with the callsign "Givi" noted that at the very moment when the situation at the Donetsk was explained to journalists, militia frontline positions were attacked. The commander said that the firing was calmly carried out by the Ukrainian militaries, as they knew that there would not be return fire.


Stress can be thought of as a response by the brain and body respond to any demand (1).
Some stress is useful in helping us perform in life, achieve goals, grow, etc.
Too much stress can harm both physical and emotional health in many different ways.
What does too much stress feel like?
Different people respond to stress in different ways.
What are some common emotional responses to excessive stress?
Changes in mood, sleep, irritability, body aches (3).
Changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, etc.
What are some unhealthy ways of dealing with too much stress?
Increasing use of caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, drugs.
Increased behaviors of isolation/avoidance. Too much time away from the problem might make the problem worse by causing you to miss deadlines, meetings, assignments, etc.
What are some healthy ways of dealing with too much stress?
Take a break. A few minutes away from what is stressing you might help you have a new perspective or give you a chance to practice stress management techniques. (Links below).
Smile and laugh. This might help relieve some tension and improve the situation.
Get social support from others or a counselor. Talking to someone might help you feel better, collect your thoughts, gain new insights into the situation.
Recognize and accept the things you can't change. This can help you let go and not get upset. For instance, you might not change rush hour traffic, but you can look for ways to relax during your commute, such as listening to a podcast or book.
Avoid stressful triggers when possible. For example, if your family squabbles during the holidays, give yourself a breather and go out for a walk or drive.
Exercise. Regular exercise or physical activity most days for about 30 minutes can help your brain release chemicals that make you feel good, and help you release built-up energy or frustration.
Change your outlook. Are you being too negative? Work on more positive attitude toward challenges by replacing negative thoughts with more positive ones.
Do something you enjoy preferably daily even if it's just for a few minutes. Examples include reading a good book, listening to music, watching a favorite movie, or having dinner with a friend, a new hobby or class.
Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. This can help you think more clearly, and have more energy.
Eat enough AND eat healthy foods. This can help fuel your body and mind. Skip the high-sugar snack foods and load up on vegetables, fruits, raw nuts, lean proteins, good fats.
Learn to say no. Set limits if you feel over-scheduled, cut back or defer where you can. Ask others for help when you need it.
Are there useful stress management resources on campus?
What are some signs that YOU are under too much stress?
What healthy strategies have you tried?
Which ones work for you to help manage stress?

India is a country with vast population with extremes of climate, different topography, varied types of soils, annual rainfall ranging from 5 cm to more than 1000 cm. some parts facing the havoc of floods and other parts thirsty for rain drops. Hence a scheme for effective and efficient management of water resources was prepared which envisages interlinking of 37 national rivers through 30 links across 9600 km with 32 connecting dams.
Undoubtedly, interlinking of rivers would provide innumerable facilities and comforts but certain hurdles are bound to arise in the implementation of the project. In the first instance many canals will pass through national parks and sanctuaries and many people may be displaced by the building of dams and canals. The construction of reservoirs and dams may swallow up the natural habitats of wild life and the ecology of the country may be subjected to unknown consequences. Large areas under forests may be submerged under water. According to some scientist's monsoon rains come all over the country at one and the same time, hence interlinking rivers may cause floods. Then rivers like Ganga and Brahmaputra are international rivers, hence consent of adjacent countries like Nepal and Bangladesh would be a necessity for the completion of the completion of the project. Country is already facing a dispute over sharing of Kaveri river water. Further conflicts may arise between the states on the issue of sharing of water between them. Finally financing of the project will not be so easy.
In view of the director general of National Water Development Agency (NWDA) the interlinking of rivers should be based upon-
Inter-basin transfer is an outstanding example of effective and efficient management of water resources on the basis of need of the people;
Scientific studies dealing with water balances in various basins have already been conducted and it is believed that ecological and environmental problems shall not arise as all possible ameliorative and mitigation measures will be included in implementation of the project;
The problem of displacement, rehabilitation and resettlement of the people affected by the project should not pose a challenge because liberal and enlightened packages would be provided to them;
Scientific studies have been made in full details which incorporate relevant data of surveys and Investigations-Geological, Geophysical and Geo-electrical soil surveys of the command areas, suitable cropping patterns, crop rotation, socio and ecological impacts including a forestation;
Inter-state water agreements will hold good and after meeting the state's demand only surplus water will be directed into other state territories. The donor state may also be compensated with hydro-power or development funds for the water they spare;
Finally it is believed that people's participation and confidence is as important as the political consensus.
Summing up the setting up of a national water grid by linking the major rivers of India is a costly and huge project which has both positive and negative implications. This project which requires a huge political, economic and social discipline will also have a tremendous impact over the neighboring countries. Alternative schemes are also being discussed which seem promising at present but have to be extensively tested before they can appear as a viable solution.

Infrared and visible images of Jupiter, 1979.
The infrared image (left) is made up of earth-based measurements of Jupiter's emision at 5 microns wavelength. Infrared astronomy is useful in analysing Jupiter's meteorology; the bright areas are hot spots which represent sinking, anticyclonic regions of the planet's atmosphere. Comparison of the two images confirms that the bands of the atmosphere which appear darker at visible wavelengths are hotter than the lighter zones. The visible image of the planet was taken by Voyager 1. Two Voyager spacecraft were launched in 1977 to explore the planets in the outer solar system. Voyager 1 flew past Jupiter at 278,000 kilometres in March 1979 and then past Saturn at a height of 124,000 kilometres in November 1980.

Q: How do I partition my SSD to benefit of the speed? I've watched a few videos on Youtube and read a little bit on the internet about partitioning. But it is still unclear to me how to partition my 4 drives. Besides a Raspberry Pi and VM I have no Linux experience, so please explain it easy. I will be installing Ubuntu MATE over an existing Windows 10 installation which gives me problems.

*

*2x 2TB Seagate HDD in Raid0

*1x 500GB Seagate HDD

*1x 120GB Samsung 840 SSD

From what I understand I need a / partition of about 20GB on the SSD, and /home is recommended to be on a big HDD. Would this mean all software I install in /home starts "slow" and doesn't benefit from my SSD at all? As /swap (16GB?) shouldn't be put on a SSD, what do I fill the other 100GB up with?
Ideally I would like my boot times and program start times atleast as fast as Windows 10, which I installed completely on the SSD. All my important data is backed up and all my drives can be formatted. I've came across a program that caches applications in RAM (8GB enough?) would that be useful?
TL;DR
How do I partition these drives to give me the best speed?

A: Partitioning a disk does not increase speed. You benefit the most from a SSD if you put your "/" and /boot (if you want a separate partition for it onto the SSD. Booting my system from SSD takes about 7 to 10 seconds.
If I was you I would use the SSD for "/" and /home as a separate partition. But I would also not use /home for your personal data and change the ./config/users-dirs.dirs to change your directories to your 500Gb (so mount it as a partition). That way all the personal files and all your downloads etc do not wear your SSD. Swap on the 500Gb too. And the 2Tb can be another data partition.
Regarding swap: feel free to take 8Gb, 16Gb pr even 32Gb. Old rule was to use 2x the amount of RAM but nowadays you might not even need it. It really depends on usages: if you hibernate/suspend you need it. If you turn of your machine (since it boots in a few seconds) you probably will not need it with normal usage.
Mind though: if you use the machine for the more heavy usage. Run a large database, run websites, run a gameserver or things like that it might be better to store some of those onto the SSD and not bother about the wear of the SSD. In that case I would go all out on the SSD and prepare for the disk to fail: backup frequently and have a spare SSD, or more than one, on the side.

About Building a Marriage That Really Works
A Blueprint for Building a Love that Lasts
Marriage begins with visions of eternal love, hope, and happiness. Yet, even among Christians, hope too quickly fades. The happiness dims. And love seems too hard to sustain.
It doesn't have to be that way. God designed marriage to be a satisfying, fulfilling relationship, and He created men and women so that they–together, and as one flesh–could reflect His love for the world. Marriage, when lived out as God intended, makes us complete, it brings us joy, and gives our lives fresh meaning.
In this study, you'll examine God's design for marriage, and you'll learn, from the Designer's perspective, what it means to be a godly husband or wife. You'll discover biblical wisdom for pursuing harmony in difficult areas such as finances, communication, and respect for each other's roles. Most important, you'll learn the principles you need to build a love that lasts.

During her time there, she was responsible for MTV's free-to-air linear-TV channels, the PR team, AVOD service, the website mtv.fi, the company's B2B marketing team and corporate communications.

Its name roughly translating as 'hunting car', the Jagdwagen was a light military vehicle designed to fill much the same role as the Jeep, VW Kubelwagen, and Land Rover. Porsche developed the prototype in the early 1950s in response to a request from the German Army, although the cheaper DKW Munga was preferred and the Jagdwagen was never produced in significant numbers. In any case, Porsche had nothing like the production capacity required to meet the Army's needs in the proposed time scale. Development costs were estimated to be approximately 1.8 million Deutschmarks.
The vehicle was propelled by the Porsche 356 sports car's air-cooled flat-four engine, which was located at the rear as in the donor car. Early versions has the 1.5-litre engine, later ones the 1.6-litre unit, the latter's 50 horsepower maximum being good enough for a top speed of around 100km/h (62mph). Weighing 990 kilograms, the Jagdwagen featured a five-speed manual gearbox with additional on-the-fly two/four-wheel-drive shifting. With a wheelbase of only 2,060mm, the vehicle could climb gradients as steep as 65%.
The prototype body was manufactured by Porsche in Stuttgart with later versions (featuring torsion-bar stabilisers) made by coachbuilders Karmann. The monocoque body/chassis lacked doors, passengers having to climb in and out over the high sills. One advantage of this design was that the body was buoyant, making the Jagdwagen effectively amphibious. Later versions came with doors and a reshaped bonnet and front wings.
Only 71 Porsche 597s were manufactured between 1955 and 1958, 49 of which were built for the civilian market. Some within Porsche hoped that the company would produce an updated vehicle based on the 597 platform with a strengthened chassis, extended wheelbase of 2,400mm, and a range of five different body types. However, the project was eventually cancelled and this new vehicle never saw the light of day.
Sold new in Germany, this rare Jagdwagen is one of those supplied for private use rather than military purposes. It was purchased by the current owner in Japan in 2012 following a worldwide search, and since then has been used sparingly. The vehicle runs and drives and is described as in very good cosmetic condition. It is only offered for sale because the vendor has decided it is too precious to use on his country estate, despite the fact that it was built for just such a purpose! The ideal acquisition for the Porsche collector who thought they had everything.
The chassis number on this vehicle is- 597000106. We are pleased to have been informed by a German based Jadwagen specialist that more of its history is now known. The vehicle was delivered on December, 3rd, 1957 via the german dealer P. Müller in Hannover to the Bundeswehr: Panzer-Grenadier-Lehr-Batallion. In 1992 the car was imported in Japan – from the USA – and exhibited for years in the Shikoku Motor Car Museum. It returned to Germany in 2013. The engine is a 356 or 356 derivative unit and not to original specification.


I often have young knitters and knitters who contact me because they are afraid. Indeed, when people learn new skills, it is very common to feel unfit or afraid of not succeeding.
What seems simple and straightforward at first glance is usually a little more complex when you try yourself. However, with a little perseverance, you will usually be rewarded.
Usually you have to practice things before you do them properly and knitting is no exception. I have not yet met anyone who can take a needle, wool, read a pattern without blinking and finish a sweater the first time!
When I teach knitting (to friends or others), I find it much more helpful to encourage people to continue, rather than stressing every little mistake. Yes, the end result may be different from what was originally planned, but it allowed you to practice. The next attempt will be more in line with your expectations, that's for sure!
The more you try to be perfect when you start a new technique, the more it becomes discouraging when the results are not perfect. Accept your new challenge for what it is, to accept your learning curve and your pace of progression, understand that the more you persevere and will be lenient with yourself, the more you will advance in your practice.
That's why I recommend beginners to knit small 10×10 squares to start with. By practicing on small projects that finish faster, you will be able to see your progress more easily.
Often, when we focus intensely on something new, we literally hold our breath! This deprives our brain of oxygen and we think less clearly. So, take deep, calm breaths regularly while knitting, this will really help you and will avoid you turning blue!
If your hands cling to your needles as if they cling to life, if your hands sweat: relax! Shake hands, move your shoulders and breathe. Similarly, do not pull the wool so firmly, it will not fly! By relaxing and creating a softer tension in your knitting, you will find it easier and the thread will behave as it should.
If you make a mistake, it's not the end of the world. Do not lose sight of your goals because of a small mistake. Everything is repairable.
If all seems hopeless, undo your work and start again. Just call this knit a test. Do not dwell on it, start again with confidence and serenity.
Have the confidence and the courage to start, but above all, persists and continue your learning despite your failures. Nobody ever got there first time so relax!) At the end, you'll be the best!
In fact, whether you are beginner or advanced, these tips may be useful. And what would be your advice to the knitonauts?

Chodzić is for talking about an ongoing situation: e.g. I go to a college. Iść is for talking about right now: I am going to the shop.
Zamierzam is suggested, then marked wrong. Thoughts?
English has two kinds of "I'm going to"
there is only one set of hints for a word/prhase, it does not change in different exercises.
That was really confusing. I wrote initially "idę do szkoła". Then I loked at the prompt and it said "zamierzam". So, I changed my answer and it was wrong. I don't get it.
You'd be almost correct at first, but "do" takes Genitive, so it's "do szkoły".
Hints, apart from the fact that sometimes they're simply imperfect, are for the whole course, not specific sentences. And "zamierzam" is in fact a hint to the whole "I am going to" construction as in "I plan to", "I intend to".
I translate "Are you going to school?" as "Czy idziesz do skoły?" and it is marked wrong, I am informed should have been "Jeździcie do skoły?". So, next question I translate "I am going to school" as "Jeźdżę do skoły". Wrong again. Now I should have said "Idę do skoły". I am confused. Are these verbs (iść and jeździć) interchangeable? When do you use which? Or is this just a blip in the program?
From what I see, "Are you going to school" has "idziesz" as the main answer. So if it was rejected, it's one of those bugs that happen from time to time.
As for the interchangeability: well, in our course, if the English sentence has "going", they both should be accepted options. Unless something else in the sentence specifies the situation. The thing is, that "iść" is on foot (although sometimes it can also just mean that the vehicle is not important), and "jechać" is by means of a vehicle on wheels. So "Idę do szkoły" frankly, just means that I am on my way to school (quite probably not on foot actually, but it's just not important) and "Jadę do szkoły" would mean that I do take some vehicle actually.
Oh yes, I didn't see at first, but you mixed the forms: "idę" is used for Present Continous (I am going, I am walking), but "jeżdżę" is for Present Simple: I go (by a vehicle), I drive.
Oh yes : the sentences about school unfortunately mess up the Continous/Simple distinction, it isn't that clear with school, because the 'attending school / being a pupil' topic comes into the picture. So it's better to discuss the Verbs of Motion on an example of, let's say, cinema.
Thank you....although I am a bit confused at this point, not sure about the continuous/simple distinction. I will have to spend some serious time with the grammar books, then come back to your explanation. And yes, spelling practice!
Shortly: Verbs of Motion are (almost) the only ones that show the distinction between Present Simple (generally, habitually) and Present Continous (right now).
So "iść" (on foot) and "jechać" (by vehicle) happen right now.
"chodzić" (on foot) and "jeździć" (by vehicle) happen habitually, regularly, etc.
Also "walking" or "driving" is right now but without any direction, purpose etc., you also use chodzić/jeździć. When you are just walking/driving around.

Tennis plyometric training focuses on optimizing neural pathways for maximum power output by maximizing contact transition speed.
During tennis plyometric training the emphasis is on optimizing neural pathways, where the athlete accelerates the speed of the movement so that it almost becomes reflexive in nature.
To do this the resistance has to be lower than that used during ballistic exercises but the time between repetitions is kept to a minimum, leading to faster turnovers.
Tennis plyometric training revolves around improving contact transition speed by exploiting the benefits of the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC); the SSC is being used to enhance power production during a given jump, throw, pass, lift, etc.
The SSC is initiated when the targeted muscle groups of a specific action undergo eccentric deceleration, such as the quadriceps and gluteals, when landing from a jump.
During eccentric deceleration, the muscle groups needed to accelerate the body away from that position, i.e. to jump back up off of the ground, are lengthened, while the muscle groups aiding in the smooth deceleration of the landing are shortened (hamstrings/hip flexors).
Simply stated, this interaction of simultaneous shortening and lengthening produces a 'spring' of potential energy that can be unleashed during the concentric acceleration (the rebound jump) if the transition time, also referred to as amortization phase, between the landing and the rebound action is limited.
Most research suggests the transition time needs to be less than ¼ (0.25 sec) of a second. In other words, during a plyometric exercise the athlete tries to accelerate an object (body) as fast as possible, moving its center of mass rapidly from point A to point B; velocity of the movement needs to be at a maximum.
Therefore, the shorter the ground contacts, the faster the neural transfer. For optimal neural feedback development the amortization phase needs to be less than 0.25 seconds.
Oftentimes athletes cannot do plyometric exercises in true plyometric fashion because they are too slow.
Since tennis plyometric training require ground contact time of less than 0.25 seconds, resistance (weight) has to be on the lower end; otherwise the athlete wastes time decelerating and hence exceeds 0.25 seconds of ground contact.
It is important to ensure that before the athlete starts doing the exercises at maximum speed that the exercises are done correctly with regards to form because that translates into improved performance.
