Q: Configuring Apache, PHP5 FPM and MySQL for long Query I have the following query:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS
    a.`id_order`,`reference`,`total_paid_tax_incl`,
    `payment`,a.date_add as date_add,
    a.id_currency, a.id_order AS id_pdf,
    CONCAT(LEFT(c.`firstname`, 1), '. ', c.`lastname`) AS `customer`,
    osl.`name` AS `osname`, os.`color`,
    IF((SELECT COUNT(so.id_order) FROM `ps_orders` so WHERE so.id_customer = a.id_customer) > 1, 0, 1) as new,
    IF(om.`erp_order_id` is null, 0, 1) as erp_id
FROM `ps_orders` a
LEFT JOIN `ps_customer` c ON (c.`id_customer` = a.`id_customer`)
LEFT JOIN `ps_order_state` os ON (os.`id_order_state` = a.`current_state`)
LEFT JOIN `ps_order_state_lang` osl ON (os.`id_order_state` = osl.`id_order_state` AND osl.`id_lang` = 1)
LEFT JOIN `ps_order_merge` om ON (om.`prst_order_id` = a.`id_order`)
WHERE 1
ORDER BY a.id_order DESC LIMIT 0,50;

Which took about 160 seconds to load. This query is called on a very specific page (in fact only being called from one particular page). Let's just assume the following URL execute such query:
http://example.com/some/url/query.php
At the moment when i call that query, the browsers shows
'500 Internal Server Error'

Upon further debugging, i get the following from the log:
Wed Mar 30 01:22:43.780576 2016] [fastcgi:error] [pid 12345:tid 1234567890] [client 123.459.78.123:12345] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/path/to/php5-fcgi", referer: http://example.com/some/file.php

And FPM slow log indicates this :
script_filename = /path/to/some/script.php
[0x00007f55bb18afd8] query() /path/to/some/script/DbPDO.php:80
[0x00007f55bb18aef8] _query() /path/to/some/script/Db.php:305
[0x00007f55bb18ad88] query() /path/to/some/script/Db.php:482
[0x00007f55bb18ab68] executeS() /path/to/some/script/AdminController.php:2198
[0x00007f55bb18a9e8] getList() /path/to/some/script/AdminController.php:1531
[0x00007f55bb18a8d0] renderList() /path/to/some/script/AdminController.php:1440
[0x00007f55bb18a788] initContent() /path/to/some/script/Controller.php:167
[0x00007f55bb18a5d0] run() /path/to/some/script/Dispatcher.php:349
[0x00007f55bb18a480] dispatch() /path/to/some/script/index.php:50

This is the exact file & lines that execute the query:
[0x00007f55bb18ab68] executeS() /path/to/some/script/AdminController.php:2198

I want to know how can i extend the timeout so that apache/php5-fpm will wait for at least 160 seconds. So that, at least for now; i can load that troubled page.
i already set my php.ini:
mysql.allow_persistent = On
mysql.connect_timeout = 160

EDIT 1
I am not allowed nor i have access to modify the query.

A: I found a solution for my own problem, i ended up noticing that one of the LEFT JOINED table was not indexed properly.
I created an Index for this table:
LEFT JOIN `ps_order_merge`

And the query runs a lot faster (less than a sec).

Building services are basically used to furnish housing structures into habitable environments. After the major construction of a building, if there are no electrical, architectural and other technical facilities implemented in it, then it can't serve the purpose t was built for in the first place.
In Blackpool, there are major building services that have been responsible for a majority of the structures in Blackpool and have had a positive impact on the society through that.

Tibetan singing bowls are a type of bell that vibrates and produces a rich tone when played. Singing bowls are said to promote relaxation and offer healing properties. Buddhist monks have used these in meditation and wellness practitioners use them during treatment. Learn how they might support recovery using mindfulness as a way to build inner peace.
People use Tibetan singing bowls for many reasons, including stress reduction and pain relief. Some people use the bowls with other healing practices, like meditation and deep breathing. Many people claim the vibrations of the bowl can produce changes in the body. There are some who claim it 'harmonizes the cells,' and 'balances the body's energy system.' Some people claim Tibetan singing bowls can stimulate the immune system and produce changes in the brain.
Despite the long history of use, there has not been many studies looking into how they promote healing. One of the studies that has looked at it worked with 54 people who had chronic pain that originated in the spine. They were assigned to six sessions of singing bowl therapy, a placebo treatment, or none at all. Members of the singing bowl group and placebo group experienced a decrease in pain intensity. Both the singing bowl therapy and placebo therapy had a stress-reducing effect on participants.
To create sound with a singing bowl, press the accompanying mallet in a circular motion against the outer edge or rim of the bowl. When a bright, clear tone emerges, slow down. Let your full arm make the motion, not just the wrist. Make that motion against the outside of the bowl. Strike the bowl before beginning the motion and see how the effects help bring peace.
When a person in recovery is trying to stay clean and sober, there are many tools they can use to facilitate that. Finding a tool like meditation bowls can provide a great option to those who want to become more mindful and increase their peace of mind in recovery. Integrating use of the bowls may help enhance relaxation effects of stress management techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and guided imagery. When a person looks to enhance their well-being, it is important to try different things until they find what works but Tibetan meditation bowls have no risks or dangers and almost always, when used properly, provide a quiet, calming effect for those who use them.
Meditation can be a key to some people's recovery and help bring some peace and calming. A Step in the Right Direction provides quality care for clients seeking support for addiction recovery. We teach people how to live a sober life through programs, therapeutic support, and evidence-based therapies. For more information sober living programs for men and women as well as recovery programs, call (877) 377-3702.


While Kahan was addressing climate change, I think his message should be taken to heart by those in the science studies community (myself included). Especially given the overblown rhetoric about rationality and scientific thinking, it's easy to forget that scientists are people too! We have some of the very flaws and tendencies we often criticize in others. And just like everyone else, scientists don't like to see their values attacked.
I don't know a single STSer who thinks all knowledge is relative. But since Dessler appears to believe otherwise, he is understandably resistant to some of their other suggestions. I think his distrust comes through in the thread.
As annoying as it may be for some, perhaps such discussions should be prefaced with something like: "I acknowledge there is a a real world which contain objective facts. I also acknowledge that we can and should study the world in a methodological, coherent manner. When possible, we should try to replicate our findings…yada, yada, yada." I suspect the omission of this type of message is part of the reason STS hasn't gained more traction among scientists.
Another reason is that STS-folks tend to be typical academics, and are thus content sit in their own little world not engaging in outreach and communication. But that's a topic for a different time!

NORMAN, Okla. –Morgan Vastag ('21) began a clerkship with the Honorable Silvia Carreño-Coll of the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico after leaving OU Law and taking the bar. After her time with Judge Carreño-Coll, she intends to clerk on a U.S. Court of Appeals. Vastag credits her experiences competing on moot court teams at OU Law with setting her up for future successes.
"Professor Smotherman has an incredible gift for placing students onto teams that give them a high chance of success," Vastag said. "I was lucky to argue in front of many excellent, well-prepared judges who asked me difficult questions that I had not encountered before."
Vastag appreciated the difficult questions, saying she believes they gave her the best chance to test her ability.
"They (moot court competitions) are the best opportunity to test my knowledge and skills, and the questions tend to give rise to the most authentic moments in each round."
The Moot Court Program at OU Law taught Vastag important skills that she says every student must have, regardless of what they want to do with their law degrees.
"No matter where my career takes me, I know that I will be better prepared because of our moot court program."

I went 7-2 ATS at 1:00 and 9-4 ATS after the 4:00 games. Unfortunately, my top pick at 1:00 was one of my two losses. I was high on the Falcons after they've dominated their first three games. I knew the Panthers would have some fight in them, but thought their defense would let them down just like the Giants game. I was forecasting a 10-14 win by the Falcons, but the Falcons barely squeaked by with the victory.
Good thing I said to hedge your bets as I recommended two teasers: Falcons/Cardinals and Falcons/Broncos, which both hit. The pundits who said take the points rather than lay the points were right and I'm glad I listened right before kickoff. Hopefully, you were also able to jump on those teasers. I also played a third teaser of Cardinals (+3)/Broncos/Packers (-0.5) at 4:00, which I also hit by the skin of my teeth thanks to a lot of luck. I got incredibly lucky hitting all three teasers as the Falcons and the Cardinals both should have lost — they both came from behind to win — but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
As Andy Reid always says after a disappointing loss, "we have to find a way to get better." The home dogs have royally screwed up my head. I should have been all over the Patriots, 49ers, and Bengals this week, but I saw a home dog and avoided them like the plague — looking solely at home teams this week. If it wasn't for a hot start for the home dogs, I would have made all of them my top plays instead of opting for the Falcons or Cardinals. My teasers bailed out my misses at the top of my list and I'm happy to have a 9-4 record in the pick 'em league this week.
Sorry if I let you down this week with my top two picks, but hopefully you were able to capitalize off of our other picks or the recommended teasers which were posted this morning. Overall, the majority of our picks were right on point, but we picked the wrong games in the Cardinals and Falcons.
Tonight my Philadelphia Eagles (-2.5) are facing the New York Giants. I'm an Eagles fan so I have to pass on this game. I have my concerns about the Eagles, but with Hakeem Nicks out, I'm a little more confident the Birds can pull this one out.


Privilege for editing tags is at 500 rep but I already have done it before!
When I go to privileges, I see that at 500 reputation I will get the privilege to edit tags to questions.
But the strange thing is that I have already edited tags before.
It also says that I will get an organizer badge on editing a tag first time! And I already have it!
So what is all this? 500 rep needed to earn the edit tags privilege but I already have edited tags before without having that privilege.
Before you reach 500 reputation all your tag edits are revised by some one with more reputation, namely someone with more than 2000.
Most editing privileges mean editing without approval. You can submit an edit before that, but it has to go through the review page.

How do you envision your post retirement life? Do you want to be able to move closer to grandkids or maybe someplace where you can golf all year long. Whatever your dream may be, you need to tailor your savings plan to fit those goals. Even if you don't have specific plans in mind (perhaps retirement is still decades away) you should plan on your retirement funds to cover at least 80% of your salary. Keep in mind that your peak earning years are in your 40's. Every time you receive a raise at work, increase what you are contributing to your 401(k) or other retirement account.
While many people opt to use their employer's retirement plan, there are many other options for those who choose another route or don't have that option available to them. One of the most common ways to save for retirement is a 401(k) plan. Don't forget to take your social security benefits into account while selecting your savings method.
The less debt you have at retirement, the better. Come up with a plan now to get rid of as much (or ideally all) of your debt as quickly as possible.
Once you start saving for retirement, and this is the most important thing on this list, do not touch your retirement savings. NO EXCEPTIONS. Withdrawing early can result in fines as well as losing out on interest and principal. You should always have an emergency fund that has three to six months worth of expenses for those unexpected costs that may tempt you into dipping into your retirement. Most of the time, you should allow your retirement to grow and focus on other parts of your financial wellbeing.
However, this doesn't mean you can go into autopilot. The plan you come up with should be updated annually, at the very least, to make sure you are still on track with market fluctuation, adjusting for life changes, and allowing for standard of living increases.
If you are behind on your retirement savings, there are some things you can do to catch up.


Easter Eggs for 'grown-ups': Sweetness in a glass.
Easter is probably the only time aside from Christmas where there really is no limit to the amount of sweet treats we can enjoy over a glorious long weekend. For those who have refrained from chocolate, booze, cakes, biscuits or anything else: the end is in sight.
But true deliciousness is also found in lovely, sweeter style drinks- including the classic dessert wines, sherry and fizz.
Probably the first thing you think of when you think of sweeter wines, the dessert wine is a simple shot of sweetness which is perfect with a pudding (apple pie works a treat), or in place of a dessert when you get that sweet craving, but have already had WAY too much chocolate.
The volumes of dessert wine consumed in the UK are pretty small, a reason I mainly put down to price; spending £10+ on half a bottle of something you aren't sure if you will like, can feel like a bit of an investment! However, here we are to make sure you choose and spend wisely!
Tesco Finest Dessert wine, is a gold medal winner, a crowd pleaser and is just £6.79, so you can look swish, try something deliciously different without breaking the bank. Also see our dessert wine piece- Sweet Treats: Jo's Fave Dessert wines for some more recommendations.
White Zinfandel and 'blush' wines are both examples of wines of a sweeter style and despite their slightly bad reputation of being super pink and super sweet- look properly and you can find some nice ones. My advice is to look for something with a little spritz; the acidity and texture from the bubbles really cuts through the sweetness, and stops that kind of 'sticky' feeling in your mouth.
Its not just pink that is sweet though; you can get both reds and whites that are sweet, either more naturally (like a Moscato) or that have had sugar added throughout the winemaking process.
For a slightly sweeter red, try Fetzer Crimson (Tesco Wines by the Case, £9.99). It still tastes of red wine, not sugar or confected chocolate or cherry which some do; it just has a touch of sweetness which takes the edge of and makes it SO drinkable. I recently sent my mum a bottle of this- and its her new favourite. Super approachable.
White wine-wise, I prefer to choose an aromatic variety that is 'naturally' a little sweeter - Gewürztraminer is such a grape. The floral deliciousness gives it a lovely sweetness, without it tasting like a lollypop.
Alsace in France is well renowned as producing some of the best Gewürztraminer in the world and one to try is Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Zind, which is exclusive to Waitrose Direct and £12.74 a bottle.
Sherry is tipped as the next 'big thing' in the wine world, and already its showing a promising start. Sherry bars, more choice in supermarkets and wine lists all point to one thing... it's no longer just something your granny drinks after her Sunday roast: sherry is hot stuff.
For newbies to Sherry, check out our Wine for Beginners: Sherry post. As we're on a sweetie theme here, you want to be thinking of Oloroso sherry, from Spain - try it drizzled over vanilla ice cream for added wow-factor.
Sherry is something that can take a bit of time to get your head and palate around; for a great introduction you can find short courses nationwide where you can taste the different sorts alongside one another and with food. London Wine School offer Tapas and Sherry tasting for £35, so grab a friend and get tasting.
Sparkling wines, and in particular Champagnes, are wines which seem to only surface alongside some canapés at the start of the evening or for special occasions. Fish and chips is really the only food combination that ever gets fizz any food and wine matching attention... that is, until we talk about the Demi-Sec varieties. Demi-Sec is French for medium-dry.
You can buy most fizz in Demi-Sec - Cava, Prosecco and of course, Champagne. If you are forgoing your Easter egg this year, but actually feel a bit put out by not treating yourself to anything, then this is it! Laurent Perrier Demi Sec (£29.50, The Champagne Company) is my personal favourite, but all the Champagne houses produce their own version each with its own personality... you'll have to just try them all!
What are you having as your sweet treat this Easter Bank Holiday?

Thank You For Not Sharing

Warning: Fake LinkedIn emails could infect your PC
A rash of spam pretending to be from LinkedIn is actually pushing Viagra and, in some cases, malware.
Don't look now, but that "LinkedIn" invite you just received from a "colleague" may in fact be yet another cleverly disguised piece of spam.
Over the past 24 hours I've received more than 20 variations this piece of e-junk, almost all of which slipped past my spam filter. Most of them include the line:
"[Insert name here] has indicated you are a Colleague at Interbrand."
[ See also: Facebook bug coughs up user names and photos to anyone who asks ]
My email client (Thunderbird) blocks images automatically, but when I told it to load one I got this ad for male performance enhancers:
Which I have to admit is pretty funny. Clearly this is not a phishing attack; the spammers here are just exploiting people's trust in LinkedIn to get them to open the email, in the hope of enticing the curious and/or stupid to click that link.
In this case, all the links lead to a Web site called PathTasty, which bills itself as "Canadian Pharmacy -- #1 Internet Online Drugstore." A Google search for that turns up this McAfee Site Advisor review, which is anything but magical:
"Canadian Pharmacy" / "European Pharmacy" / "Canadian Healthcare" is an illegal and dangerous pharmacy operation run by the Russian criminals Igor Gusev (Игорь Гусев) and Andrey Smirnov (Андрей Смирнов) and their affiliate program Spamit/Glavmed (Спамит/Главмед).
You seldom see greedier scumbags than these criminals. They don't care how much damage they cause to innocent people as long as they get all they want. No matter if people get seriously ill or even die after taking their fake drugs, or lose their money after giving over their credit card details. They would be happy to sell their own mother for a quick buck. But of course they don't have one – this kind of filth breeds in drains."
Nice. Other LinkedIn spam isn't so obvious or so benign though. I also received fake invites that lacked the Viagra Houdini image but still lead to weird sites (like one called "Cernoma"). When I visited that site, Google Chrome tossed up the following warning:
So it looks like I just narrowly missed a drive-by malware infestation. Whew!
I've asked the putative owner of that site via Twitter why he appears to be sending out spam. (There's at least a slight possibility his site has been hijacked.) I'll update this post if I hear back from him/her/it.
This is not the first time social media has been abused by spammers, and it appears to be a rising trend. (I've also written about bogus Amazon spam here.) These days, my email is so riddled with spam -- despite having filters at my ISP, Web host, operating system and email client -- I am seriously considering abandoning email altogether.
Ironically, the only place I can converse relatively spam free with friends and colleagues is on social media sites. For the most part, my Facebook and LinkedIn inboxes have been mostly free of junk; even Twitter isn't bad, once you banish the marketing tweetbots. Hopefully they too won't eventually be overrun.
When ITworld TY4NS blogger Dan Tynan isn't bitching about spam, he's giving away Apple iPads at his eSarcasm humor site (seriously). Follow (but don't spam) him on Twitter: @tynan_on_tech.
Dan Tynan has been writing about technology since Mark Zuckerberg was in nappies. A prolific freelance writer whose work has appeared in more than 70 publications, he is the former editor in chief of Yahoo Tech and a longtime contributing editor for InfoWorld and PCWorld.

One, if not the most important task of a sociological researcher is to communicate what s/he has uncovered and to share itwith as many people as is possible, especially those who have contributed to the study. To shine some light on the experiences of those who have taken part in the research.
Thanks to a doctoral scholarship from the Irish Research Council, for almost three years I have been researching with Muslim people in Ireland and I feel it is my job to share their voices, their stories. The following paragraphs give a brief insight into the experiences of anti-Muslim racism in Ireland that were shared with me. In this case, the experiences of hostility as lived by Muslim sisters.
The lack of official data on anti-Muslim racism in many EU countries is a real problem. Few states record anti-Muslim hate crime and this seriously impedes the ability for effective action to be taken to ameliorate this phenomenon. Even where it is recorded questions remain in terms of consistency. Ireland, like the vast majority of EU States, fails to record anti-Muslim racism. Therefore the findings uncovered during the course of my research break new ground in our understanding of this phenomenon in the Irish context. The first phase of this study comprised of a survey of Muslim men and women and commenced by asking all those who took part if they had experienced some form of hostility in the period from January 2010. The response was stark. Of the 323 men and women who took part, over one-in-three (36%) of all survey participants felt they had been targeted on the basis of being identified as Muslim. The manner in which this hostility manifested varied. Participants reported physical assaults (22%) ranging from being struck, having hijabs forcibly removed, to being pushed, spat at; threatened or harassed (20%). The predominant form of hostility to be experienced was that of verbal assault (81%). The verbal abuse meted out to the participants frequently made direct reference to the contemporary stereotyped Muslim identity.
There are also differences for example in the perceived commodification of Muslim women in that while Muslim men are called 'bin Laden', Muslimahs are referred to as 'bin Laden's wife'. As Ghadir recalls, there is a perception that Muslim women need to be save from their men: "they think that like everyone that wears a scarf is oppressed…Oh look at the poor woman she's depressed because she's wearing a headscarf". Despite the temporal, cultural and political complexity of veiling practices, the racialised symbolism of Muslim women being oppressed is a powerful theme in the comments made participants in this study: "you get the same questions you know the women are put down are you is your husband domineering and you know this stuff" (Jada, Irish Muslim Muslimah). This perception of being oppressed is met with frustration; as succinctly made clear by Sara: "Yeah, you no longer care. You are like: yeah I'm oppressed!!" (Laughter). The role of religious identifiability is made clear in these comments.
Indeed, without wishing to diminish other aspects of identity, it is important to underscore the role religious identifiability played in the participants' experiences of anti-Muslim hostility. Of all identity characteristics to be cited by participants, the overriding trait indicated as being a factor in experiences of anti-Muslim racism was religious identity (81%), far above skin colour, cultural identity etc. While the vast majority of participants noted that their religious identity played some part in their being singled out for anti-Muslim hostility, there was a disparity across the sexes. Less than half of Muslim men that took part in the survey stated that they were "identifiably Muslim" compared to the vast majority of Muslim women. The importance of visual identifiability, especially that of the hijab has been noted in previous research , and this holds in experiences of Muslimahs and anti-Muslim racism in Ireland.
The above short paragraphs are just a snapshot into the experiences that have been shared during the course of my research. They reveal the distinct presence of a form of racism that clearly targets Muslim identifiers. This is not to argue for a hierarchy of 'racisms' but it is meant to underscore that EU Member States need to take concerted action to address anti-Muslim racism. The first step is effective data collection of this phenomenon. Reliable data can build a platform from which policies can be created to ameliorate the experiences of Muslim men and women. Moreover, effective data can identify trends such as where and when anti-Muslim racism occurs, revealing the gendered character of this phenomenon in the process, clearly evident in the findings above. Although short, the evidence presented above is already more than most EU states have on this phenomenon. This has to change if human rights are to be afforded to all Europeans.

Research conducted by the charity Will Aid has consistently shown that the number of people using a solicitor to write their Wills is increasing and that people believe solicitors provide the best quality of service.
Without a Will you will die 'intestate' which means that there is a strict order in which your assets are distributed. Do not presume that everything will pass to your husband, wife or civil partner or that your children will get everything.
A Will sets out your wishes clearly so that they can be followed to the best of the ability of whoever is looking after your affairs after you die.
There are many tales of invalid Wills or people dying without a Will causing problems for their loved ones in looking after their affairs.
You can instruct a solicitor to write your Will for you. Many people prefer this option as there is the reassurance of the training, professionalism and the regulation on solicitors imposed by the Law Society and our regulatory body, the SRA.
Solicitors are generally the most expensive option but that often comes with experience, qualifications and a high standard of training to ensure that you get proper advice on your affairs and the terms of your Will.
There are many reputable will-writing companies who can provide a good level of service but there are just as many less reputable ones. They usually offer a low initial fee and then increase their costs with the complexity of the provisions of the Will and often charge for storing your documents.
Will-writing firms are not regulated and are very unlikely to have the level of professional insurance to cover if something goes wrong.
It is perfectly possible to prepare your Will by yourself and many stationery supply stores will carry Do-It-Yourself Will kits. However this is only ever advisable in the most simple of estates and it is absolutely vital that you get the Will signed properly to ensure that it, and the gifts you are making, are valid.
Our Wills and Probate Department will be happy to discuss your Will with you. In most cases we are able to offer a fixed fee for drafting Wills and will not charge you until they are completely finished and signed. We do not charge extra fees for storage of your documents.
Our solicitors are all experienced will writers who have undertaken training to ensure they can personalise your Will and advise you on the terms fully in a way you will understand. Providing outstanding client care is a long-standing tradition of the firm and we will even arrange home visits to take instructions and sign the Wills if you are unable to get to us.
If you would like more information about any of our services please contact us either by phone, email or through the enquiry box.


Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you have all found some great books to read for this week. If you haven't, stop by and visit with Mrs. Grey at the Elizabeth Taber Library. She's got some great suggestions for you! Speaking of the E.T. Library, have you signed up for the weekly event for this Wednesday? On July 17, the event is "Build a Fairy House"! It will be at 2pm at the Music Hall. I'd love to see pictures once you've finished.
This weekend I read "The Worm Whisperer" by Betty Hicks. It's on the fourth grade reading list. Has anyone checked it out? After I read it, I wondered if there are towns that really have woolly worm races. Are there really prizes? That would make a good research question!

CNN senior White House correspondent Ed Henry and FOX News anchor Bret Baier were but two of the guests at last night's Bloomingdale's shopping soiree benefit.
CHEVY CHASE, Md. -- With the thermometer predicted to hit a positively balmy 75-degrees tomorrow, the changing of the seasons is well underway in the District. And in order to highlight the city�s newfound spring awakening, Bloomingdale�s of Chevy Chase partnered with local non-profit Mamie�s Mile for a shopping soiree benefiting area charities on Wednesday night.
A grass roots organization that was formed in loving memory of Mamie Grace Eynon, who passed away after suffering complications from heart surgery, by her parents Elizabeth Manresa and Teddy Eynon, Mamie�s Mile commits itself to raising both money and awareness for various local charities each year.
And with 10% of sales from all purchases made during the event being donated to charity, Elizabeth and Teddy�s friends turned-out in droves last night to show their support for the �Monaco Nights�-themed affair!
Live models clad in the latest spring fashions from Bloomingdale�s greeted guests on the second floor.
For the ladies, there were complimentary glasses of white wine and champagne, as well as a trio of live models sporting the latest in spring fashion from the luxury retailer. The gentlemen too were well taken care of, with a well-stock Scotch bar offering tastings of various aged premium whiskies and complimentary Dominican cigars.
(L-R) Lobbyist Mike Manatos, FOX5 News anchor Laura Evans, and Bloomingdale�s of Chevy Chase General Manager Arif Boysan.
Passers-by seemed a bit star-struck by the energy of the building, as they paused for a drink and the chance to mingle with the likes of CNN White House correspondents Ed Henry and Brianna Keilar, honorary evening hosts Amy Baier and Bret Baier of FOX News fame, Emmy award-winning WUSA9 anchor Angie Goff (and angelic baby daughter Adora), FOX5 News anchor Laura Evans and husband Mike Manatos, a prominent public policy lobbyist, FOX News political commentator Dana Perino, power couples Kelley Davenport and Doug Davenport and Ami Susan Petrucelli and Michael Petrucelli, and well-respected governmental affairs lobbyist Missy Edwards, among countless others.

Ghon Jumbo was installation marking the closing of SHOW DOME for the Hackney Wicked Arts Festival 2010, in which the remaining contents of the art space were presented to the public as building materials. Visitors were provided with various tools and invited without direction to contribute to what became, over an 10-hour period, a sprawling, monumental sculpture. The project aimed to celebrate for a final time the spirit of freedom being santitized Olympics preparations and rent increases.
The process was open to anyone and everyone. We offered as little guidance as possible beyond a basic safety overview and participants were encouraged to bring their own tools in advance to speed up construction. During the process of constructing 'Ghon Jumbo' we asked every participant to fill in a special questionnaire. By asking those who took part to fill information in this way we created a record of our friends, peers, parents and neighbours who participated, which for me has always been one of the most important consequences of working with other people.
On a personal level this project was really important to me. In carrying it out I learnt a lot about the real nature of collaboration and experimental making. At it's heart this was driven by the question 'what happens when you let people do exactly what they want without giving them any direction'. The results were dodgy, dangerous and fun which for me is all you could ever ask for. The back drop of the project was also personally poignant – a group of people were moving on, leaving a location which had seeded a great number of conversations, arguments, projects, relationships, parties and above all lasting friendships. We had to leave because it was becoming unsustainable, the olympics were coming and rent was spiralling upwards.

10 Things about our National Parks
Have you ever dreamed of owning a piece of land? The type of place where you could camp, hike, fish and just get away from it all? Well…you already do. America invented National Parks, and the rest of the world followed.
1. There are 58 National Parks in the United States. However, just a handful see the most traffic. Here are the top 10:
Great Smoky Mountains National Park: 10,712,674 annual visitors Grand Canyon National Park: 5,520,736 annual visitors Rocky Mountain National Park: 4,155,916 annual visitors Yosemite National Park: 4,150,217 annual visitors Yellowstone National Park: 4,097,710 annual visitors Zion National Park: 3,648,846 annual visitors Olympic National Park: 3,263,761 annual visitors Grand Teton National Park: 3,149,921 annual visitors Acadia National Park: 2,811,184 annual visitors
and Glacier National Park: 2,366,056 annual visitors
2. The National Park System employees more than 20,000 people.
Even more interesting, in 2016 the National Park Service was assisted by nearly 340,000 volunteers!
3. The National Park Service operates across every state, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
The San Juan National Historic site, fully operated by the National Park Service occupies 75 acres on the island of Puerto Rico
4. The equivalent of the population of the entire United States visited our national parks in 2016!
Total recreation visitors to the national parks in 2016: 330,971,689. Population of the U. S. in 2016: 323.1 million
5. The largest National Park in the system is Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve in Alaska, clocking in at over 13 million acres!
That's bigger than the states of Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut combined
6. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) played a huge role in establishing trails, buildings and conservation in our National Parks.
In 1933 the first CCC camps were established in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. More than 1,200 men per year worked at the camp in this park alone!
7. Seven National Parks have been "disbanded" since the inception of the National Parks System.
Abraham Lincoln National Park
Disband: August 11, 1939
Redesignated as Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park
Fort McHenry National Park
Disbanded: August 11, 1939
Redesignated under the unique designation of Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine
General Grant National Park
Disbanded: March 4, 1940
Incorporated: to Kings Canyon National Park
Hawaii National Park
Disbanded: September 13, 1960
Divided into Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Haleakala National Park
Mackinac National Park
Disbanded: March 2, 1895 Transferred to Michigan; now operated as Mackinac Island State Park
Platt National Park Disbanded: March 17, 1976 Redesignated as Chickasaw National Recreation Area
Sullys Hill National Park Disbanded: March 3, 1931 Transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; now operated as Sullys Hill National Game Preserve
8. Yellowstone National Park wasn't just the first National Park in the United States, it was also the first National Park in the world. Established on March 1, 1872!
9. Our National Parks are home to many record-setting animals and locations
World's largest land carnivore : Alaskan Brown Bear
World's largest living thing : Giant Sequoia trees
The highest point in North America : Denali 20,310'
Longest cave system : Mammoth Cave
America's deepest lake : Crater Lake 1,943' deep
Lowest point in the Western Hemisphere : Badwater Basin 282' below sea level
10. They're forced to keep deferring crucial maintenance…nearly $12 Billion dollars worth.
There isn't enough money to even maintain them. Deferred Maintenance (DM) is maintenance and repairs of assets that was not performed when it should have been and is delayed for a future period. Here's where the parks stood towards the end of 2016:
Current Status: Total DM (Sept. 30, 2016) – $11.331 Billion

So what's it taste like? Nutty, thick and creamy. My daughter LOVES it! Especially when I make it into "chocolate tea" as she calls it.
A regular blender should work here just fine but I used my immersion blender and it worked AWESOMELY! This is one of my most used appliances - I DARE you to buy one!
I found hemp at Costco but you can also find it at many health food stores, natural stores or online.
Get a large bowl and line it with a tea towel (a non lint kitchen towel that liquid can easily pass through) or several layers of cheese cloth.
Pour the liquid through the cloth. Squeeze any excess liquid out being careful to not let the hemp chunks through.
You can now add salt and sweetener to taste.
Hey and you've got that extra hemp stuff in the towel, right? Don't throw that out! It can go into baked goods, cereal, oatmeal, smoothies, etc.
The milk will separate so make sure that you shake the container before serving. Use within 5-7 days.
. Now heat up the milk in the microwave for 45 seconds - 1 minute.

Determines the educational beliefs of the semi-westernised Tswana parent in the Potchefstroom area, and formulates these beliefs into a coherent educational philosophy. This study investigates the theoretical foundation of the educational principles of the Tswana parents. The semi-westernised Tswana's views on religion, reality, people, society, epistemology and teleology are determined. From this data it can be concluded that the Tswana parents show a mixture of traditional and westernised beliefs in their outlook on life. With regard to their educational philosophy, it has been found that, even though parents hope the children will not forget traditional beliefs, they attempt to conform to Western standards of education. The more Westernised a parent was, the more important it was for the child to be prepared for adulthood by means of formal schooling and post-school training. These parents hope that their children will be able to maintain a higher standard of living than their parents. Recommendations made with regard to the parents' educational philosophy are that the parents should be better informed of the demands placed on children today, so that they may be able to provide improved leadership and create a more motivational climate for their children.

Holiday Eats – New Zealand
After a hectic year of med school and the fervour that was final exams (which I passed by the way, so call me a second-year!), I was itching to get out onto my road trip holiday through New Zealand. And despite being told unanimously by everyone who has ever visited, I was still unprepared for just how stunningly beautiful of a country it was. We spent 13 days driving through the South Island – starting in Christchurch, across to the West Coast, then down to Queenstown and Fjordland, then finally back up to Christchurch via Mt Cook. And although I could talk for ever and ever about the scenery, my love for Lupin flowers, and just how unbelievably blue all the water was, we're all really here to hear about one thing – the food.
Spicy Korean Rice Cake ($12NZD) with Instant Noodles ($2NZD)
Short Rib Stew ($16NZD)
We stayed in Christchurch for two days – long enough for me to be surprised at the quality of the food there. For a town that is not known to be a culinary hub, and still recovering from the disastrous earthquake in 2011 on top of that, the food options were surprisingly varied and authentic. I stumbled upon a street full of Asian restaurants, and it smelt as good as any place I've been in Australia. A decision was quickly made to eat at Gang Nam – a small Korean restaurant with an authentic-looking menu. We feasted on Spicy Korean Rice Cake ($12NZD) with Instant Noodles ($2NZD) added in to soak up the spicy sauce, a Short Rib Stew ($16NZD) that had disappointingly little meat, but a very delicious broth that went down a treat with a bowl of rice, and a surprisingly generous range of banchan that trumps that of most Melbourne restaurants. The portions may not be as generous as I'm used to, but the flavours were spot-on.
Lamb Souvlaki ($12NZD, single)/Chicken Souvlaki ($12NZD, single)
It was also in Christchurch – or to be specific, at Dimitri's Greek Food – that I ate the best souvlaki I've ever had. The Lamb Souvlaki ($12NZD, single) was delicious, but it was the Chicken Souvlaki ($12NZD, single) that really blew my mind. Never have I had chicken in a souvlaki that was so juicy and full of flavour, and it was slathered in a tzatziki that was a perfect combination of creamy and tangy, which really brought out the gorgeous flavours of the meat. I also loved how the souvlaki was served in a cone-shape, so there was the option of eating all the filling, then eating as much, or as little of the bread as you want.
The next day, we made the drive across to the West Coast, via Arthur's Pass. On the way, there was a stop-off at Sheffield Pies, which I've read on some websites does the best country-styled pies around. But they don't stop there – check out this cabinet of baked goodies!!
As for pies, there were something like 20 savoury pies, and half a dozen sweet options on offer. They run the gamut from classic concoctions such as steak and mushroom, or country chicken, all the way to exotic concoctions like chicken, camembert and apricot, or lamb's fry and bacon. It was almost impossible to choose.
Steak and Kidney Pie ($5.2NZD)
In the end, I decided I wanted to try the Steak and Kidney Pie ($5.2NZD), so that I could finally tick it off the list. As I had half-predicted, kidney is just not my thing. But aside from that, I was a major fan of the feathery pastry that flaked away in a flurry, and the heartiness of the chunks of steak in the thick, dark gravy.
Pork and Apple Pie ($6NZD)
The Pork and Apple Pie ($6NZD) on the other hand was a thorough winner. The filling of tender roast pork and apple puree tasted like the best of Sunday roasts, and the pastry reminiscent of Yorkshire pudding. It was also on the lighter end, which means that you can easily down two of these puppies without feeling the shame.
Pancake Stack ($13NZD)
Food was a lot less exciting when we hit the West Coast. Greymouth was a small, sleepy town without a whole lot going on, though I did manage to have a good brunch at the local favourite, Maggie's Kitchen. When I say good brunch however, I don't mean the sleek, restaurant-quality stuff you get here; rather, the food is honest home-cooked fare, sort of like what you'd get at a diner in America. At any rate, the Pancake Stack ($13NZD), served with bananas and plenty of syrup, was a total treat. The pancakes were light and fluffy, and exactly what you want for soaking up the ample amount of syrup on the plate.
Omelette ($17.5NZD)
The Omelette ($17.5NZD) didn't disappoint either. Each came with your choice of up to 3 ingredients – in this case, I went for ham, mushroom, and tomato – which were then cooked into a giant, airy omelette with what seemed to be at least 4 eggs. It was a great feed prior to a big day of adventuring, and there's even the added bonus of no dishes to do!
Dal Tadka ($18.9NZD)
A couple days later, we were in Franz Josef. Being a prime tourist destination, there was actually plenty of places to eat, even if everything was on the overpriced and boring side. Case in point: we headed to The Copper Pot to satisfy a craving for Indian food, and our Dal Tadka ($18.9NZD) was very average indeed, and probably even less flavoursome than the dal I make at home.
Tikka Masala Chicken ($19.9NZD)
The Tikka Masala Chicken ($19.9NZD) was better, but still nothing to write home about. The chicken was tender, but lacked the smokiness of the tandoor, and whilst the sauce was more flavoursome, it was largely due to the addition of salt, and lacked any real complexity.
Gulab Jamun ($6.5NZD)
Worst of all, our dessert of Gulab Jamun ($6.5NZD) consisted of a single donut, which sat sadly between us in a pool of syrup. Sure it tasted nice but, nothing will convince me that it was worth it.
Country Beef Lasagne ($20NZD)
Surprisingly, Full of Beans actually fared a lot better. Despite being a run-of-the-mill café-styled establishment, everything was actually reasonably priced, and served up in overly-generous portions. It didn't taste too bad either – the Country Beef Lasagne ($20NZD) came in a deep bowl, and although on the mushy side, was made with plenty of cheese, and a hearty beef and vegetable ragu. It was also extra-saucy, and so incidentally made for a great dip for the thick-cut fries.
Open Steak Sandwich ($24.5NZD)
I thought the lasagne was big, but the Open Steak Sandwich ($24.5NZD) absolutely boggled my mind. Not only was the sandwich itself so big that I could barely get my hands around it, but sitting underneath it was a full plate of chips and salad. I ended up leaving most of the bread and fries, yet was still stuffed at the end of the meal.
As we made our way down the West Coast, I keep seeing everything from restaurants to fish and chipperies selling something called whitebait fritters. Eventually I worked out that it was a specialty of the West Coast of South Island, and a quick search online told me that Curly Tree Whitebait Company is the place to get them.
Whitebait Fritter ($10NZD)
I'm glad I looked this place up, because there was no way I would've noticed it as I was driving past. Turning off the Haast Highway about 15km before you hit the town, you drive down an unsealed road for about a km until you finally reach a seaside shack. Give your car horn a honk if there's no one there, and pretty soon someone will pop out and make you a fresh Whitebait Fritter ($10NZD), with a side of great conversation thrown in for free. And before you baulk at the price like I did, consider that South Island whitebait goes for something like $90/kg wholesale, and you can pay up to $40 for them at a pub – now this seems like a pretty good deal, hey?
Curly Tree Whitebait Company is first and foremost a fishery, which means that their produce is as fresh as can be. They take the tiny little fish and suspend them in an eggy batter, before spreading it thinly over a hotplate. Within minutes the fritter is ready to be served on a slice of white bread, with a squeeze of lemon and some salt and pepper. The fish is delicate and mild, and the overall flavour of the fritter is a subtle one. I will admit that I don't quite get the hype, but I'm glad to have tried an authentic whitebait fritter nevertheless.
The Fat Badger ($28, 12 inchNZD)
Now we're getting to the good stuff! On our first night in Queenstown, we hit up Fat Badger's Pizza Bar, and grabbed The Fat Badger ($28NZD, 12 inch) – their OG concoction of chicken, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, roasted red pepper, and NZ mozzarella. My only regret is not getting to try their giant 20-inch pizzas topped with some of their more inventive combinations.
Jalapeno Poppers ($6, 6pcsNZD)
I did however have room for the Jalapeno Poppers ($6NZD, 6pcs), which are my new favourite thing. These may not be the traditional kind where a full chili is stuffed with cheese, but I loved the way the crisp, slightly chewy coating gave way to the cheesy, creamy centre studded with jalapenos.
I also had the luck of stumbling upon Pedro's House of Lamb while planning for the trip, and after filling out a quick online order form, we were rewarded with our very own Whole Lamb Shoulder with Scalloped Potatoes ($50NZD) the very next day.
Whole Lamb Shoulder with Scalloped Potatoes ($50NZD)
Roasted over low heat with garlic and rosemary for at least 6 hours, the entire lamb shoulder was so tender that the meat shredded off with just a gentle tug from the plastic fork. The potatoes were perfectly fluffy and soaked with the cooking juices of the lamb, and each piece just melted in the mouth. Along with some bread rolls and salad, this made for 4 very hearty and delicious meals.
Confetti Cheesecake Cookie Dough ($3NZD, tiny)
I had originally planned on trying more of the stuff at Cookie Time, aka the most famous cookie place in all of NZ. But after trying some samples, I decided I wasn't enough of a fan, and so just ended up grabbing a small scoop of Confetti Cheesecake Cookie Dough ($3NZD, tiny) instead. This was a great way to get your sugar hit (at 10am, might I add), and the melted chocolate poured into the waffle cone was an extra sweet treat after all the cookie dough is gone.
Venison Pie ($7NZD)
Whilst in Queenstown, we made a day trip to the quaint little Arrowtown, and had lunch at Arrowtown Bakery. And on the menu? Pies, of course – country-style.
The Venison Pie ($7NZD) was very tasty, with a lightly fruity gravy, and a more delicate flavour than the traditional steak pie. It came topped with a very puffy crust which I thought was too thick, but Chris loved – it's all a matter of preference, as the pastry itself is flaky and top-notch; I just prefer a high filling-to-pastry ratio myself.
Chicken and Apricot ($7NZD)
The Chicken and Apricot ($7NZD) pie was a more unusual concoction, but a really, really effective one. The chicken was smothered in a light, creamy sauce that was augmented with the distinct sweetness of apricot. The combination surprised the tastebuds with each bite, and left me going back for more.
Custard Slice ($4.5NZD)
Of course, I couldn't leave without trying the Custard Slice ($4.5NZD), which was as excellent as I had hoped. The custard was thick and wobbly, and the addition of shredded coconut gave it a bit of texture. But what I liked the most was that instead of the usual powdered sugar on top, this slice was garnished with a thin layer of icing, which added a moreish sugariness to each bite.
And so we were done with Queenstown, and started making our way to Fjordland, followed by Mount Cook. But hang on, I hear you say, what about Fergburger? The reason that I'm not talking about Fergburger (as well as the affiliated Fergbaker and Mrs Ferg Gelateria) here is because we actually ate so much from the Ferg empire in the few days that we were here that I felt like they deserved their own posts. So keep your eyes peeled – they'll be coming up within the next few weeks!
Salmon Sashimi ($10NZD, 100g)
Anyway, things get significantly less exciting food-wise in the second half of the trip. We were truly getting out into the wilderness by this point, so most of our meals consisted of bad take-away. There was one highlight however – the Salmon Sashimi ($10NZD, 100g) from Mount Cook Alpine Salmon. My parents had raved about this place after their trip to New Zealand, and indeed, it lived up to the hype. This is the freshest, fattiest, most flavoursome sashimi I have ever had, and I imagine I could down 20 pieces with ease. Why I didn't get 500g of sashimi for $35 I'll never know.
And so that more or less sums up the highlights of my NZ eating. Although the smaller towns were predictably less thrilling, I had a great time eating my way around the better populated areas. Produce everywhere was just impeccable, and I was frankly impressed by the quality of the cooking, especially in Christchurch. New Zealand may not be a foodie haven in the way say, Japan and Malaysia may be, but there are plenty of great things to eat, and new things to try.

ARISTEIA! The favorite (Blood)Sport in Infinity's Human Sphere (REVIEW)
Posted by Rene Lara | Jun 10, 2019 | English | 0
Aristeia! is a miniatures sci-fi (blood)sport board game in which two teams of four participants face each other to score the most points, read this review.
– Ladies and gentlemen, John, we are witnessing the last moments of the game, this could end at any moment, Wild Bill fire his pistols in a good move disabling Hexx3r, in …
– HEY! that's not possible! take a look at Gata! she makes a feint to 8-Ball and slides under his legs, IT CAN NOT BE! She jumped over Maximus now and fell behind Miyamoto Mushashi, who has barely reacted but too late because Gata has already entered the score zone, getting a victory for her team.
– Amazing! really an excellent play, Fred, something that can be seen few times, an unexpected last-minute outcome. Really spectacular.–
Aristeia! allows us to live the emotion of a Bloodsport game on the table of our dining room, plan tactics and strategies, adapt to the movements of the opposing team, counteract attacks and use our own resources in the best possible way will ensure a lot of fun every time we play.
In Aristeia! board game we will be in charge of a team of four players with whom we will score points entering and remaining in a certain area of the board.
BACKGROUND OF ARISTEIA!
Corvus Belli is a Spanish company that manufactures miniatures and board games, its main game is Infinity, a miniatures Wargame with science fiction theme, a game we have talked a lot in our blog.
Lee también Aristeia! el Deporte Preferido en la Esfera Humana de Infinity (Reseña)
In Infinity we are introduced to a universe with different alien species in conflict but it focuses on what we know as Human Sphere, this is the set of planets dominated by humankind.
In this setting humans have expanded and reached the stars, conquered hostile worlds, made contact with extraterrestrials, but the human essence follows us wherever we go, the "tribal" conflicts between nations continue to exist, as well as competitiveness and enjoyment, and with them the sports.
There are several sports named or described in Infinity's background books , but Aristeia! is the only one that has been shaped as a spin-off game apart from the main wargame.
Aristeia! began as a sport played by aspects of Aleph, androids with AI, in their synthetic bodies, until a group of intrepid humans dared to play, having signed respective disclaimer documents in case they died in the arena, and from that moment the game changed forever.
Today, Aristeia! is a massive event, which attracts millions of spectators and moves huge amounts of money in sponsorships, of course there are also bets and leagues at different levels, including illegal and brutal underground leagues.
Like many sports board games Aristeia! is for two people, each of them in charge of a team of characters, to manage their teams each player will have a team control board.
The game field is called Hexadome, a hexagonal board divided into small hexagons pattern where the characters play to amuse their audience, in this board you can clearly see some blocked spaces as well as the areas of annotation.
Before starting to play, you must choose the type of scenario that will be used, this is very important because some strategic decisions will depend on it.
Lee también Infinity Operation: Coldfront Advance Pack [Reseña/Análisis]
There are two decks of common cards, one for each team, with basic game actions to which we will add two of the four cards of special actions for each character we have, these are part of the advantages offered by each character and something to take into account to choose properly the characters according to the style of game we prefer.
Each character also has a card with data and skills and another little card with its initiative value that will serve to choose secretly when each character will participate, its value will indicate which will go first, if ours or the opposite character.
It should be noted that the game is made in such a way that both players are always active.
ARISTEIA! CONCLUSIONS
The manufacturing materials are of the highest quality, the insert is totally suitable, the miniatures… well, did you expect anything other than excellence? Corvus Belli has us (well) accustomed to offer us some of the most beautiful miniatures of the market in this scale and theme, simply beautiful, in addition, some of them have alternative versions.
Aristeia!'s base box miniatures beautifully painted by Miniaturas Estadio War Game
Highly dynamic game rules, and no waste, with a variety of effects and abilities that expand with every expansion set. In addition to this it is important to note that Corvus Belli has created a League for Aristeia! the AGL ( Aristeia! Global League ) and they are determined to maintain a healthy and organized gaming community.

In short, after playing Aristeia! several times it has become one of the favorite games for my son and me. The possibility of being part of the organized game of Aristeia! is something extraordinary and we will surely enjoy it.
Fully recommended if you want a highly competitive and customizable game, with few miniatures.
I hope you liked this first article about this great game because I'm sure it will not be the only one, remember that you can leave us comments here or through our social networks. What would you like to know about this game? A review explaining the mechanics in detail? A tactical / strategic analysis of the units? Any other topic?
Before saying goodbye I invite you to join the Infinity's largest community in Facebook WGC Infinity.
