If you have a more adventurous side, this newest treehouse may be your choice. This 2 guest treehouse was originally constructed for the Animal Planet/Discovery Channel Show "Treehouse Masters" featuring world renowned treehouse designer, Pete Nelson. Pete Nelson's crew from Nelson Treehouse Supply and a local Amish crew constructed the treehouse in March 2013.
Initially, the interior was designed as a brewery/tasting center for the owner's Treehouse Brewing Company Beer. Since the airing of the show in June 2013, the interior has been renovated and converted to a treehouse cabin to allow for overnight lodging.
The approach to the treehouse is dramatic and includes a set of stairs that lead you up to a 30 foot extension bridge. The bridge alone is design magic. The red exterior of this treehouse is reminiscent of the many 1800's era red barns that dot the country side of mid-central Ohio.
Pete Nelson's crew designed the unique 5 foot stained glass window that graces the east side of the treehouse bringing in the morning sunrise in an array of blues, greens, and yellows. An outdoor shower lies just at the end of the extension bridge for a little warm weather clean up and in cold weather, for those willing to embrace the chill (shower shut down November-March?). A lovely wrap around deck sets atop the sturdy platform complete with a high top table and chairs for taking in the sights.
The front of the treehouse is dressed top to bottom with windows so that guests feel as if they are living amongst the trees. The interior walls are covered in wood siding from the property- no drywall found anywhere on this property. A built-in sofa made of reclaimed barn timbers and siding is topped with soft pillows made by the local Amish seamstresses. A hickory rocker made just up the road is the perfect rustic touch.
Wanting to snuggle up and watch a movie? No problem! There is compact flat screen tv/dvd player just the perfect size for the treehouse. Enjoy your meal with a spectacular view of the Mohican forest from the high top counter and bar stools that look out one of the 12 windows. The kitchenette is also complete with everything you might need for your stay-microwave, electric cook top, toaster, and coffee maker. The cabinets are handmade of the familiar reclaimed barn timbers and slab wood counters varnished with a mirrored gloss tops them off. The loft sleeping quarters are accessed by a ladder which takes guests up to a queen bed platform just tall enough to sit up in- did someone say hay loft? Fun and fanciful is the theme of this treehouse. The queen bed platform draped in down overlooks the living area with a beautiful view of the stained glass window. An indoor toilet room with a sliding barn door is the final touch to this rustic barn style treehouse.

This list of great Canadian rappers is longer than you might think. While initially, the pool of popular rappers from Canada may seem small, there are many talented Canadian hip hop artists. Some Canadian rappers, like Drake, are well known for their nationality, while some people on this list are more surprising.
Unlike other scenes around the world, rap was slow to start in Canada and even slower to gain worldwide recognition. That is, until 1998. The single "Northern Touch" by Rascalz in collaboration with Checkmate, Kardinal Offishall, Thrust and Choclair was released to worldwide acclaim and Canadian hip hop was finally on the map.
Who is your favorite Canadian rapper? Check out the list below, vote and add anyone that you think should be considered one the best Canadian rappers.

About The Device Paradigm
On November 2, 2007 January 16, 2021 By konstapelIn Completed, Philosophy
The Internet shows everything Chaos-Theory is talking about. When the Internet was working on full speed connections were made between people and systems that were never connected.
Out of the Internet something New is Emerging.
The Internet is also a major Force against everybody who wants to take over the power. Everything everybody is doing in secret appears on the Internet and although many people are trying to block the Freedom of Press it will take a major effort to do this.
Even the manipulation of the Search Engines by companies like Google want help because people mainly in the Open Source Community will always create new ways of searching.
Behind the Internet is a phenomenon called Abstraction. Abstraction is a method to Compress a Lot of Information. Abstraction is the Process of Moving UP.
There are two ways to Abstract. The first one just Moves Up but is never able to Come Down. When we have abstracted something we are unable to move to the source of abstraction without loosing information. The only way to this is to use Self-Reference (Fractals).
The American philosopher Albert Borgmann wrote many books about the problems of Abstraction. His main concept is called the Device Paradigm.
In Borgmann's terminology, a device is an artifact or instrument or tool or gadget or mechanism, which may be physical or conceptual, including hardware and software.
According to Borgmann, it is a general trend of technological development that mechanisms (devices) are increasingly hidden behind service interfaces. Technology is thus regarded as a means to an end, an instrument or contrivance.
The effect of the Device Paradigm is that everything becomes the Same. In the end Every Thing is mapped into "Bits and Bytes". If this happens we have been moved into Virtual Reality.
What we have to Understand is that Abstraction is a Tool of the Mind. We are now already in a state were we don't realize this is the case. The Mind is disconnected from the Emotions.
When we Play in Virtual Reality we are able to Kill Virtual People without any problem. If we are in the Army we are using Devices that shield us from Reality. A pilot pushes a button and on his User-Interface the Bomb explodes. He is totally unaware of the effects in Reality.
The Device Paradigm also shows that in the end everything becomes a Commodity. We are not burning wood to produce warmth. We are using Energy and we really don't know where it came from. Our relationship with Reality, Nature, is disconnected.
By applying technology as a means to an end we have given the Objective Cold Mind the possibility to Move UP. We have created The System.
The System generates the feeling of powerlessness. When we feel Powerless we become Aggressive and because we are unable to fight the System we find others who become the Target of our Aggression.
So we have to bring down the Level of Abstraction again. George Lakoff and many others have already discovered where Abstraction ends. It ends when we are unable to Imagine (make pictures of) what is abstracted.
When we imagine (Spirit) we are able to feel Emotions (Soul). When a Pilot is able to imagine what a Bomb is really doing to others he will think twice before he pushes the button. If we imagine that children are misused to produce our textile we will think twice before we buy.
Borgmann is highly influenced by Heidegger.
"In our time, things are not even regarded as objects, because their only important quality has become their readiness for use. Today all things are being swept together into a vast network in which their only meaning lies in their being available to serve some end that will itself also be directed towards getting everything under control."

Synopsis by Mark Deming
Wim Wenders directed this allegorical drama about the emotional impact of violence in our culture, set against the backdrop of California's entertainment business. Mike Max (Bill Pullman) is a Hollywood producer who has earned a great deal of money and power in the film industry through his success with a series of brutally violent action pictures. While Max can juggle any number of tasks while working, he can't find time for his wife Paige (Andie MacDowell), and when she announces that she's divorcing him, he admits to himself (but not to her) that he deliberately put her through emotional trauma; Paige leaves to do volunteer work in the Third World, hoping to bring new meaning to her life. Very little reaches Max on an emotional level until Cat (Traci Lind), a stunt performer, is seriously injured on the set of Max's latest project. Not long after, Max is first car-jacked, then kidnapped by a pair of desperate thugs. He escapes and is given shelter by a group of Mexican-American gardeners. Wanting to retreat from the physical and spiritual violence that has become a key part of his life, Max opts to work with the gardening crew and stay away from his old life, remaining "missing" in the eyes of the world as he searches for a new life. Meanwhile, Max and his secretary Claire (Rosiland Chao) become aware of a secret plan that Ray Bering (Gabriel Byrne) has prepared for the city of Los Angeles, which will essentially put the entire town under constant surveillance, with the goal of ending violent crime once and for all. Frederic Forrest, Udo Kier, and legendary director Samuel Fuller also star; Ry Cooder composed the film's striking original score.

While there are many awesome places to see in Alaska, Fairbanks has a special appeal. As home to many of the original aboriginal people of Alaska, Fairbanks is great place for anyone who wants to explore Alaska"s Native American culture. In fact, for anyone who is interested in any aspect of the history of Alaska, Fairbanks is an excellent point of exploration.
Prior to the construction of the Alaska Highway for travel, Fairbanks, Alaska was a mining town in the middle of one of the largest territories in the United States. When, in 1902 an Italian immigrant in Alaska discovered gold, Fairbanks became a major trading post. Now, over one hundred years later, Fairbanks boasts a diversified economy that is enhanced by oil, gas, gold and coal mining, military, tourism and the University of Alaska. Fairbanks also plays a significant role as the services hub and gateway to Alaska"s Interior and Arctic.
There is so much to do on a Fairbanks vacation. During a winter Fairbanks vacation, you can stay up late and marvel at the Northern Lights. Two-plankers, knuckle draggers and shred Betties can make some turns at Moose Mountain. If you can"t take the cold, you can get some heat at the Chena Hot Springs.
Gold Rush town is comprised of 29 cabins from Alaska"s historic past. The Gold Rush Town office is located in Georgia Lee"s House, which was once a house of ill repute. For entertainment, check out the Golden Heart revue at the Palace Saloon.
The SS Nenana was a sternwheeler that once carried passengers along the Chena River. It is now a museum.
The Pioneer Museum transports you back to the pioneer days of Fairbanks. A number of tools and household items are on display. The Big Stampede Show is in the same building. This lighted 45 minute presentation is illustrated by fifteen enormous oil paintings composed by the famous Alaskan artist C. R. "Rusty" Heurlin. A tape plays the narration, which features the voice of the late well-known Poet Laureate Ruben Gaines. The mural presentation is in a circular room that moves the guests around to see the murals, while the murals remain in place.
Once you decide to add Fairbanks to your Alaska vacation plans, you will want to book your Fairbanks flight. The Fairbanks International Airport is close to downtown Fairbanks. You can get a direct Fairbanks flight on Northwest Airlines from any of the lower 48 states. Europeans can find a Fairbanks flight on Thomas Cook powered by Condor, which is Germany"s largest leisure-oriented airline. Throughout the summer, this airline provides weekly service between Fairbanks and Frankfurt.


With help from Roger, Jiji, Ioupy…who were all happy to frolic in front of the camera.
Adorably fluffy, sweet and funny, the few days we spent together were a blast.
I hope you'll enjoy the results as much as we did producing them.

Trevor Noah compares Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, 'separated at birth'
By Shannon Connellan 1 month, 1 week
Pretty much everyone in the UK knows who Boris Johnson is.
But perhaps folks in the U.S. have only really started to wonder recently, since he's a clear frontrunner to replace Prime Minister Theresa May, and has been compared to Donald Trump.
So, on The Daily Show Wednesday night, Trevor Noah provided a little explainer on the gaffe-prone, pro-Brexit, former foreign secretary who's been publicly backed by Trump, his long lost twin.
"When you look into it, it makes sense. They were both in New York City, both had famous cheating scandals, they have similar political beliefs, and look at them. I mean, look at them. They look like they were separated at birth — and I mean purposely," said Noah.
"Another thing that makes them similar is that for years no one took either of them seriously, and now, just like Trump, Boris is poised to become the leader of his country, which used to be a cool job but thanks to Brexit is about as desirable as being Kanye West's social media manager."
Noah also wrapped up the first 24 hours of Trump's UK visit and it is a ride.

Fight Your Fear of the Gym
posted by Elizabeth Shaw
filed under fitness postings
You've picked the club, signed the contract, and paid the membership fees. So why does the thought of actually working out at the gym have you searching for excuses? "As soon as new gymgoers walk in, they tend to start making comparisons," says Terry Orlick, Ph.D., a sports psychologist and professor of human kinetics at the University of Ottawa in Ontario. "They're not as big or as slender. They're not as familiar with the equipment. There's a big fear of failure." We've identified four of the most common health club hang-ups and the best ways to let them go.
Problem: I have no idea how anything works.
"A typical exercise center is a maze of equipment, machinery, and electronic gadgetry," says Steven Edwards, Ph.D., professor of applied health and educational psychology at Oklahoma State University. "It's easy to feel like you need to be an engineer to know how to get them to work."
Solution: Get help. "Don't just hop on the machinery and hope everything falls into place," says Edwards, who recommends actually taking advantage of the initiation tour. All gyms have staff who can teach you how to use all of the equipment. And if a free personal training session is included with your membership, take advantage of it right away.
Problem: Me, wear spandex?
A bad body image can squelch even the most motivated attempts to make fitness a part of your life. "The thought of having to compare yourself to others who are already in good condition isn't very pleasant," says Edwards.
Solution: Follow this four-step approach to feeling confident...
Go to the gym during off-hours. For the most part, gyms get jam-packed before and after work. If you have the time, go during your lunch hour or in the middle of the afternoon. The fewer people there are, the fewer opportunities you'll have to make negative comparisons.
Find safety in numbers. Working out with a supportive friend can diffuse the pressure of displaying your body, says Edwards.
Stay focused. "Anxiety is triggered by negative thinking," says Orlick. If you're concentrating on the exercise, you can't be focused on what the gymgoer next to you looks like.
Just do it. "The more you go, the better you'll feel about your body and yourself," says Orlick. Everything you do to better yourself is another goal achieved, and Orlick says that alone will make you feel more self-confident and less self-conscious.
Problem: Why am I even here?
If you don't know why you want to exercise in the first place, navigating the equipment and tuning out the hard bodies will really seem like an insurmountable task. "Many people say 'I need to exercise' without really knowing why they want to do it," says Edwards.
Solution: Get a game plan. First, examine what you hope to accomplish in the long run. Do you want to get stronger? Lower your cholesterol? Drop 10 pounds? Increase your endurance? "When you have a clear purpose, the other distractions tend to fall away," says Orlick. Second, learn how to structure your workout in order to reach that goal. Again, this is where a staff trainer can be enormously helpful. And be sure to make short-term goals along the way. Even if you just want to do five more push-ups than last time, having something to shoot for each day or every week will make going to the gym more pleasurable. Keeping a training log will also help you see your progress and thus give you greater motivation to keep going.
Problem: I feel like everybody's watching me.
"The gym is a performance environment," says Edwards. "If you're just lifting the bar all by itself and everyone else has it loaded with heavy weights, there's the potential for embarrassment."
Solution: Focus Inward...
Remember why you're there. "It doesn't matter what others are doing. When you see those beefy, bulky guys, remind yourself that their goals are probably a lot different from your own," says Orlick. "You're there for your own reasons, so try to stay focused on those."
Picture it. Before you head off to the gym, says Orlick, "Visualize yourself walking in feeling relaxed and comfortable, and see yourself doing the exercises." If you've already gone through the motions in your head, explains Orlick, you'll feel like you've had a little practice. Consequently, you'll be more at ease and more likely to accomplish your goals.
Keep going. "Once you work through the initial anxiousness," says Edwards, "you'll discover that there are lots of other people just like you, and you'll get over your fears in no time." Don't let fear get the best of you, because the overall benefits of exercise are definitely worth fighting a case of cold feet.

Q: using ffmpeg for mp3 to ogg conversion Am new to php. With some of the reference to the posts on Stackoverflow, i've tried out the method to convert an mp3 audio file to ogg simultaneously while uploading to the server, initially i checked on my localhost, i always got an output int(1) in response for var_dump($output), but i cant see the ogg converted file saved anywhere in folder. Can any please guilde, its urgent. My questions are:
1) Do i need to provide path for both input and output files, if yes then, did i mention properly in code here.
2) where exactly i need to save/place the entire ffmpeg folder / ffmpeg.exe
3) Are all the path mentioned w.r.t the input and output file proper in code here ?
passthru("/admin/ffmpeg32/bin/ffmpeg.exe -i audioUpload/".$_FILES['audio_file']['name']." -vcodec libtheora -acodec libvorbis -target ./ffmpeg32/ogg/$file_name".".ogg",$output);
var_dump($output);


This page is designed to help you choose the right multi-day adventure for you. Each of our trips is custom-designed to fit your criteria. We look forward to working with you to plan your ideal trip. To get started, please read the information below and then e-mail us at borealjourneysak@gmail.com or call 248 568 0345.
Where you sleep is part of the adventure! We offer you the option to stay in log cabins or wall tents (or both)! Both are heated by woodstoves and offer the opportunity to thoroughly warm up and dry out.
Cabin Pros: They are relatively spacious and cozy. They generally include bunks, tables, and windows. It is far less work to pull into an existing cabin and make a fire than it is to set up a tent camp. Cabins are full of rustic charm and each one is unique and handmade.
Cabin Cons: We have to go to specific locations which can mean that we have to push through longer days on the trail to arrive at our destination. On most cabin trips aside from Homestead trips, you share a cabin with the guides, this is nice because the guides take care of the fire but gives you less alone time and privacy.
Tent Pros: We can bring camp with us, which means we can stay almost anywhere overnight. This flexibility allows us to explore far from the beaten path. They are surprisingly comfortable, we set them up with cots and spruce bough floors. The inside is clean and light and you can hear the sounds of the evening around you.
Tent Cons: They are smaller and involve sometimes awkward maneuvering to get in and out. Tent camps may take more time and energy to set up. Depending on the trip, the guides may camp with you in a large tent to tend to the fire which limits privacy.
Can't decide? We offer trips like the "Taste of Winter Camping" that combine both!
All of our trips involve some amount of travel, how much is up to you. On "traveling" trips we move camp every day or two, whereas "basecamp" trips involve going to an existing camp or cabin and exploring within a 10ish mile radius during the days.
Traveling trip pros: Traveling in the winter is a magical experience. You can choose from traveling with a guide on a dogsled or under your own power on skis or snowshoes with the dogs hauling gear. Traveling trips are a good way to get exercise and see lots of country. They are also simple in that the daily agenda is mostly pre-determined: you pack up and spend the day moving to the next location, then unpack and settle in.
Traveling trip cons: These trips often involve more exertion and less "down time" relaxing and doing other activities. Traveling trips also involve lots of packing and unpacking.
Basecamp trip pros: Taking day trips from basecamp gives you the chance to try our multiple means of travel and test your skills at shorter lengths. They build in time and space for relaxation. This is a great way to explore mushing, snowshoeing, skiing, ice fishing, and more all from a beautiful wild place! Base camping allows you to get to know a specific area in detail.
Basecamp trip cons: These trips limit your scope to a smaller area. You don't get the experience of moving camp.
If a particular place speaks to you, this is another good way to decide what trip to do. Click on the following images to learn more about trips in the areas that we operate in.
Located an hour north of Fairbanks, the White Mountains National Recreation area is a million-acre winter wonderland. A trail and cabin system allow us to access this incredibly scenic area of mountains, river and forest with ease. We have a special permit that allows us to use the cozy cabins in this area or set up a basecamp off the beaten path. They White Mountains are close, they're wild, they're almost heaven. Trips offered here include: "Cabin to Cabin Dog Mushing" and "Mountain Basecamp".
The Tanana River is the largest tributary of the mighty Yukon. Its the glacially-fed sinew that unites the entire Tanana River Valley, where Fairbanks is located. We made our home on a sunny bluff along this river and its unique beauty keeps us enraptured year-round. The river offers a sense of wide-open amidst a robust boreal forest and wetlands. Views of the Alaska Range and Denali loom in the distance. We are far off the beaten trail here and seldom encounter other people. This is the place we know best. We offer a variety of trips from our homestead including "Homestead Experiences" and "Taste of Winter Camping".
The Alaska Range is an incredible place, full of rugged and dramatic beauty. Its a few hours south of Fairbanks and well worth the drive. This is not country for the faint of heart, but if you want true adventure, there is nothing like exploring on frozen rivers and up mountain passes. Trips we offer in the area include: "Mountain Basecamp" and custom fly-in trips.
The true "last frontier", Alaska's Arctic is a place of unlimited potential for winter fun. We offer special trips in the Brooks Range region in April when the days are long and sunny and the temperatures are surprisingly comfortable. If you want to really get out into the untrammeled wilderness, this is the trip for you. The remoteness is one of the things that makes traveling in the arctic such a rewarding experience. Trips that we offer include: "Arctic Basecamp".

UNO students reflect on Chick-Fil-A controversy
Emma Seely, Managing Editor
On Nov. 5, UNO Dining officially opened a newly expanded full-service version of their on-campus Chick-Fil-A location. Although the popular, nationwide fast-food chicken restaurant has always been a hit on UNO's campus and likely will gather even more business with the new expansion, some students aren't happy with UNO's continued choice to house the restaurant. With several reputable sources making claims about the company's repeated monetary donations to anti-LGBTQ charities, some students feel as if Chick-Fil-A's presence on campus is harmful to UNO's LBGTQ community.
"Chick-Fil-A has a super active history of donating money to a bunch of anti-LGBT organizations, including campaigns for Trump and Ted Cruz," says UNO student Grace Gilpin. "It's also certain organizations that aren't necessarily centered around being anti-LGBT, but have an anti-LGBTQ history. They donated to Fellowship of Christian Athletes, The Salvation Army, and Paul Anderson Youth Home. [These organizations] are some I remember that are all openly homophobic and a lot of them, transphobic specifically as well."
Chick-Fil-A's monetary connections to these sort of organizations has been well-reported recently, with several local and national news sources documenting various instances of Chick-Fil-A sparking controversy among LGBTQ communities. One of Chick-Fil-A's supported organizations, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, for example, "requires applicants to agree to a 'sexual purity statement' that condemns LGBTQ people for living 'impure lifestyle[s]' and another, Exodus International, promotes anti-gay conversion therapy," as reported by Vox.
But students like Gilpin aren't necessarily upset that Chick-Fil-A was ever put on UNO's campus. Rather they are upset that the restaurant will not only remain on campus after news of the controversy has spread, but that it will expand its services as well.
"My issue is less with there ever being [a Chick-Fil-A on campus] at all, and more with the fact that UNO just had a huge transition period when [UNO food service provider] Aramark went away and Chartwells came in," Gilpin says. "And I understand that at the point Chick-Fil-A was put on the campus, this [controversy] was something that wasn't as widely known, or as commonly heard of. Even I [only] recently learned about it within the past few years. But I think that now it's a super big issue that a lot of people talk about and a lot of people are aware of. And we had this big transition period and during that they didn't make the decision to get rid of it."
According to Daniele Frechette, dining services Marketing Director for Chartwells, the decision to maintain UNO's Chick-Fil-A location after the transition came because of popular student demand. Additionally, Chartwells' contract with UNO stipulated that the food service provider would renovate and expand the existing Chick-Fil-A.
"We took over this account where Chick-Fil-A had an existing presence on campus," Frechette says. "In our accounts nationwide, students vote Chick-fil-A as their number one choice of national brand they love and it is no different here at UNO from the feedback we received recently. Our dining survey results supported the decision to keep Chick-fil-A on campus."
UNO student Dhuha Darweesh would agree that student opinion towards the Chick-Fil-A controversy has been mixed at best. Some students, in fact, seemingly feel as if the issue is not their concern, especially if they like Chick-Fil-A's food.
"I've had discussions about Chick-Fil-A in one of my Political Science classes," says Darweesh. "The controversy of having a Chick-Fil-A on campus is unfortunately very flip-floppy because it felt like a third of the class felt that UNO could have chosen any fried chicken place instead of Chick-Fil-A, another third were indifferent because they felt that the issue is out of their hands as students, and the last third felt like the chicken from Chick-Fil-A is too good to not have on campus."
But Gilpin doesn't blame students for choosing to eat at Chick-Fil-A, especially since it represents one of the few dining options readily available on campus. And with this new expansion, grabbing Chick-Fil-A between classes will be easier than ever.
"I don't blame students that eat there," Gilpin says. "I don't see anyone in line there and think they're homophobic or they're a bad person. I don't blame the students for eating there; I understand that they think it's good. I blame the administration for even having it as an option on campus. Because I understand it's declining balance, it's real money but it's not real money in our heads."
Regardless of students' positive opinions towards Chick-Fil-A or its convenience, both Gilpin and Darweesh are surprised and disappointed that the usually LGBTQ-friendly UNO has allowed an organization with such obvious anti-LGBTQ ties to remain, and grow, on campus.
"It's upsetting that out of the endless food options that UNO could have chosen to have on-campus Chick-Fil-A is one of them, especially for a campus that is supposed to be extremely diverse and accepting," says Darweesh.
"The UNO administration, from what I've seen, has been very keen on the needs and interests of LGBTQ students, and I've never seen something from them that would make me think that they would do something like this, Gilpin says. "I know that they're not doing it with the intention of hurting LGBTQ students, but I feel like they really overlooked this issue and I'm not sure how they did that because I feel like it's something so widely known at this point."

Airbus Joins Race for S Korea's $1.76B Maritime Patrol Aircraft Project
Our Bureau
12:34 PM, May 16, 2018
Airbus has offered its C295 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) for the South Korean Navy's MPA requirement which already has Boeing P8 and Saab Swordfish in the race.
In February, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) unveiled its plan to sign a deal with an overseas aircraft manufacturer to introduce next-generation maritime patrol aircraft by 2020. The project is worth 1.9 trillion won ($1.76 billion).
Airbus Defense and Space (DS) also expressed its willingness Tuesday to join the bidding process with its C295 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA), a multi-role aircraft derived from the C295 military purpose transport aircraft, The Korea Times reports.
"If the government adopts an open tender process for the project, we are willing to compete with other aircraft manufacturers," an Airbus spokesman said.
The company also plans to promote the new patrol aircraft on Thursday in Seoul by holding a press conference.
DAPA plans to hold a meeting as early as this month to decide the form of the contract for the project.
The Republic of Korea Navy currently uses the P-3 patrol aircraft. But in a defense acquisition meeting in February, the defense ministry and DAPA decided to adopt new surveillance aircraft that offer a longer flight duration and heavier weapons payload.
Saab Pitches Swordfish Maritime Patrol Aircraft To S. Korea By Challenging Boeing
Saab, a Swedish defense firm, has offered its Swordfish maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) for South Korean Navys requirement to procure six new aircraft to supplement its MPA fleet of 16 P-3C and P-3CK Orion planes in service. According to Yonhap, Saab argued Wednesday that its Swordfish aircraft is an optimum model for use by South Korea's Navy, which is seeking to bolster its ability to counter North Korea's submarines, some of which are equipped with ballistic missiles

February 7, 2018 @ 12:40 PM
Boeing P8 and Saab Swordfish maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) are the likely candidates as South Korea today decided to procure six new aircraft to supplement its MPA fleet of 16 P-3C and P-3CK Orion planes in service. South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) aims to respond to a change in security conditions, including North Korea's submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) threats, Yonhap reported quoting DAPAs statement Wednesday
Saab Offers 'Swordfish' Maritime Patrol Aircraft as Alternative to 'Airliner-type' MPAs
In a clear attempt to target Boeing's P8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA), Saab has highlighted its 'Swordfish' MPAs as an alternative to "large, costly airliner-type platforms". In a press release ahead of the Singapore Airshow, Saab said that 'Swordfish' MPA consisting of Bombardiers Global 6000 ultra-long-range aircraft, General Dynamics Mission Systems-Canadas acoustics processor and Saabs pedigree in total airborne surveillance solutions, ensures a new era in maritime air power

About this time, Lisa was inspired by her grandma to become a writer. "My grandma and grandpa lived in Florida, and we would write letters every week. But on some golden days, some treasure days, I would go to the mailbox and find a story from my grandma. She'd write the stories, draw the pictures, and bind them up with bright yarn. Reading those stories, my own dream of becoming a children's author began."
Lisa went on to attend the University of Iowa and graduated with a degree in elementary education. After getting married, she moved to Worthington, Ohio, where she happily taught reading, writing, and other subjects to fifth graders. Lisa is proud to say that she was never beaten in a footrace by any of her students, although she only raced them once. Wisely, she retired a champion.
When Lisa and her husband moved to Wisconsin and had their daughter, Lydia, Lisa became a stay-at-home mom and pursued her childhood dream of writing.
"The characters for stories seem to pop up all around me —our dog, Hawkeye, eating my students' homework as I graded it, a squirrel running circles around a rabbit in our backyard, my own grandma teaching me how to love someone far away. I just have to pay attention and write them down."
Lisa thinks the exciting part about being an author is that every day can be different. "I can work on a story by the pond, or on a walk, or in my favorite green chair." She thinks the reassuring part about being an author is that many things are the same. "I always sip a hot cup of coffee. I always write on my laptop because my handwriting is atrocious. And I always start the day with a quiet prayer. I ask Jesus to help me bring goodness to children through my stories.
"Goodness to children—that is the dream come true!"
Three Things You Might Not Know About Me
1. I can't whistle, and I can't stand to touch Styrofoam.
2. I was chased down a hillside in Yellowstone Park by a marmot (an animal about the size of a small gopher, which might have just been out for a walk and I misinterpreted it as chasing me), while my family yelled, "Get a picture! Get a picture!"
3. I love everything chocolate: chocolate pudding, chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream. If they invented a chocolate meatloaf, I'd probably eat that, too.

Run-D.M.C. är den inflytelserika hiphopgruppen Run DMC:s debutalbum. Albumet gavs ut 1984 och var banbrytande för sin tid med sin hårdare, aggressivare typ av hiphop. Albumets kraftiga elektroniska trumsamplingar och energiska rim var i skarp kontrast med det lätta, funkiga ljudet som då var populärt inom hiphopen.

Albumet har fått flera stora utmärkelser, bland annat blev det 1998 utvalt som ett av de 100 bästa hiphopalbumen av tidskriften The Source. Det kom på 51:a plats på Rolling Stones lista över de 100 bästa albumen under 1980-talet.

New Research Shocks Scientists: Human Emotion Physically Shapes Reality!
Monks With "Superhuman" Abilities Show Scientists What We Can All Do
"Scientists Found That The Soul Doesn't Die – It Goes Straight Back To The Universe"
Is The Universe Conscious?
According To Scientists We Can Sneak Into The Parallel Universe Through Our Dreams
Louise Collins
It is often believed that the decisions of our lives and things that we want to see manifest into a dream.
Our ancestors also tried decoding the meaning of a dream. Some people dream of visiting some unknown place whereas some have dreams about something vague. But why do we have dreams?
Is there any alternate reality or a parallel universe? Are the dreams a way of getting a glimpse of that world?
From the ancient times, Romans and Greeks believed that Gods used to give messages to the humans through their dreams. In ancient China, dreams were treated as the way through which one can visit the dead people's world. In ancient times, Egyptians also assumed the only people with special powers can decipher the meaning of a dream.
Mexican and Native American tribes also thought that dreams take us on a trip to the different world.
The word 'Dream' is derived from an English word that means music and joy.
But, all these beliefs were from ancient times. Nowadays we are all aware of the fact that dreams are nothing but an expression of our hidden feelings, thoughts, and events that we go through in our sleep.
Dreams include all our five senses, sound, tastes, smell, touch, and sights. Today we can get a clear picture of our dreams because now the technology has equipped us with the power of taking pictures of our brain while we are sleeping.
Though many discoveries have been unearthing till date, the scientists are still looking out for a better understanding of the dream. They are yet to find the exact reason for our dreams.
We will slowly unravel the hidden meaning of the dreams where it is a possibility that what we see in our dreams can actually be a glimpse of the parallel universe.
Hundreds of years have been invested in science to find out the truth behind the dark secret of the mysterious world that is beyond the human senses.
From time immemorial we all believed that mystic place is there where spirits and ghosts exist. Science didn't want to associate itself with superstition, but they were not able to deny it completely as well. Since 1920, physicists are trying hard to come up with proof that would make everybody believe of their existence.
The particles are not restricted to our universe only, rather they are scattered all throughout another universe as well. There is not just one parallel universe, but there are infinite numbers of the universe in place and that is making things a bit of difficult for the physicists.
It is in this parallel universe where Napoleon actually won the battle of Waterloo. Not just Napoleon, even the British Empire is said to have held on to the American colony in here.
Our universe is not the only universe that exists, but there is several others out there parallel. These different kinds of universes inside the multiverse theory are called the parallel universe.
It is still a theory and nothing has been proven yet about the parallel universe that is said to exist and is debated widely by the physicists all over the world.
The borderline of metaphysics and physics is decided by testable theory and not just by some weird un observable entity. Nowadays, physics include abstract concepts that are there such as electromagnetic fields that are invisible, slowing down of time at high speeds, curved space, black holes, and quantum super positions. Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Max Tegmark has said that now the list also includes multiverse.
Dr, Michio Kaku says that the physicist finds it as a disaster when the primary snag of cosmology that is the laws of physics break down in the presence of Big Bang. Some people don't find anything wrong with that, but in general, we all are used to the knowable laws that can be written down through the mathematical language. But here we are talking about some existence that goes beyond the law of physics.
There is a possibility that in the parallel universe there is someone exactly like you. In every aspect that person is also leading the same life as that of yours; still, there will be a slight difference between you and your copy. Your timelines are not identical but somewhat similar because there are another you in the alternate world.
You might have dreamt of visiting a place where you have never been, it is a possibility that your dream is giving you a glimpse of the experience that you have experienced in the parallel universe.
Even when you see the future it can mean that you are actually viewing an alternate world where you exist.
It might be a possibility that the special dreams that we have are a sneak peek into the parallel universe that we are not aware of completely. It is a speculation and nothing has been confirmed yet, but the physicists say that there is a possibility of parallel universe. But, as we all know that without any kind of speculation or curiosity we won't be able to find out something new. Behind every scientific discovery, there is a curious scientist at work who is not satisfied with what his naked eyes are showing him. He tries to dig in deep to find out something new from the same old settings.
It is this way through which secrets of the universe has been unravelled over the years. According to Professor Tegmark, evolution has given us the power of intuition for regular physics or everyday physics that involves our ancestor's survival value and whenever we are trying to go beyond the regular physics whatever we encounter comes across something that is quite bizarre.

The start of a new year brings about many a resolution to make a fresh start with respect to living a healthy lifestyle. What follows is a brief outline of just a few health practices, which if followed, can leave every member of every family feeling energized and fit throughout the year.
The evidence is clear. A hardy breakfast combined with a healthy weight encourages the human body to maintain healthier levels of fats and sugar in the blood. This reduces the risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes for everyone that sticks to it. Dietary studies have shown that breakfast menus that feature half-carb and half-protein dishes are the most effective for maintaining overall health.
The link between good oral hygiene and overall fitness can be a surprise to many people. As it turns out, the mouth is closely associated with basic health. Indeed, dental problems and oral health issues have proven links to diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. Of course, tobacco and alcohol use exacerbates such conditions. Taking care of your family's teeth isn't simply about sweet smelling breath and sporting a nice smile. Although science has yet to discover whether the above links are a result of causation or correlation, what is known is that the mouth is closely associated with overall physical health. To this end, be sure to schedule regular dental checkups for every member of your family and make sure everyone brushes as directed by your family dentist. Professionals, like those at Guerra Dental, know that it's important to have a lifelong commitment to oral health. Maintaining good oral health helps encourage positive health all-around.
You don't need a pricey gym membership to stay active. All one needs to do is schedule some regular outdoor family activities to ensure that everyone gets their fair share of physical exercise. After all, this is what weekends are for. When there is no opportunity to get outdoors, you can make the most of household chores such as vacuuming to get the heart pumping and the blood flowing. Thirty minutes of this type of activity each day will keep your family fit and the household neat and clean.
Sometimes, establishing a sense of balance in your daily life is all you need to maintain peak happiness and health. Preserving balance means reducing stress and learning to make the most of every day. Having a sense of balance means promoting harmony between life's competing priorities.
Working at keeping a healthy sense of balance while following these other family health practices will guarantee you and your family the best opportunity to live a happy and healthy life. Taking the time to make sure you have a good health practices can make your family healthy for generations to come.

Seamus Heaney at 70
All this week there have been celebrations of Ireland's only living Nobel Laureate - poet Seamus Heaney who was 70 last Monday. I have to confess I know nothing about his poetry, and have never to my knowledge read any of it. I don't recall if his poetry was on the English syllabus while I was in school - but that was the 1970's which was early in Heaney's career. Even though he is the most famous living Irish literary figure I have no plans to read any - such is my disinterest in poetry.
I do have something in common with Seamus Heaney - he was conferred with an honory doctorate (D. Litt.) in Trinity on the same day as I was conferred with my PhD on 8th July 1988. This was before he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1995 - I had no idea then that I was in the presence of greatness. I have kept all the ceremony documents to this day - also receiving honory doctorates on that day were scientist John Stewart Bell and Bishop Donald Caird. The citations were read out in latin - in fact the whole ceremony was in latin. Thankfully, translations in English were provided for the citations. For interest, here is what Trinity said about Seamus Justin Heaney:

AN EXAMINATION OF THE MENACE OF VIOLENT CRIMES IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN NIGERIA
Leave a Comment / EDUCATION / By admin
Throughout the years of Nigerian political independence, little was known about the violent crimes that occurred at Nigerian tertiary institutions. Even in a large society, violent criminal activity is uncommon. Universities, in particular, are authentic "citadels of learning." Those who cannot afford to attend these colleges are envious of the students. Graduates were well-regarded in society, and many jumped at the chance to find decent work. They were regarded as the pinnacle of knowledge and integrity, in part because they were educated in the manner of a "white man," and in part because they were trained in a less violent environment; they lacked criminal inclinations (Adeyemi, 2009).
Today's scenario at higher education institutions is very different from what it was three or four years ago.
Almost four decades ago. Undergraduates at colleges and universities are physically or ostensibly besieging their campuses with a slew of indiscipline. Their enraged rebellious yells, loud protests, and occasionally destructive deeds demonstrate a growing sense of despair and hopelessness.
In Nigeria, violent crimes germinate and thrive in institutions of higher learning. Universities and polytechnic campuses in most parts of the country, according to Agbola, Olatubara, and Alabi (2001), are now battlegrounds for all types of violent crimes. Robbery, murder, violent rape, stealing, burglary, assault, violent demonstration, assassination, car snatching at gunpoint, and the dreaded activities of cultists are examples of violent criminal acts. Agbola et al. also observed that the majority of violent crimes in our tertiary institutions are primarily the work of students.
Cultists on campus.
Homicide, rape, office, house, and store-breaking have reached alarming proportions at academic institutions, according to Alemika and Chukwuma (2000). He went on to say that these violent criminal activities harm both the academic and social growth of the University communities as well as the wider community. Against this backdrop, the purpose of this research is to look into the nature and pattern of violent crimes in Nigerian tertiary institutions, with a particular focus on the University of Nigeria, Nsukka campus, in order to identify the causes and social implications for the institution in particular, and for Nigerian society in general.
1.2 Problem Description
According to Aluede (2005), teachers from various faculties are murdered even in their own homes. an unknown person (s). He went on to say that on campus at major Nigerian institutions, there have been numerous recorded incidents of robbery, rape, duping, automobile and mobile phone snatching. Even at the time of this study, the university had witnessed a slew of crimes, including mobile phone snatching, robbery with masks, illegal possession of firearms, office breaking and theft, rape, and so on. This danger is still present. In his own work titled "Varsity students injured as robbers raid female hostel," Adisa (2004) claims that female students of the Cross River State University of Technology (CRUTECH) were injured, some of them seriously, when a gang of armed robbers attacked the institution's female hostel. Some of the females were Others were physically assaulted and raped. As the robbers stormed the hostel, they shot indiscriminately, breaking some people's limbs. However, the robbers carted away money and property belonging to these girls, while expanded cartridges were discovered. He went on to say that some of the robbers were later discovered to be students at the same university. According to Adeyemi et al. (2009), the number of violent protests on tertiary campuses is increasing. In his work titled "Violent Demonstrations at Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria," Adeyemi also observed that property worth millions of Naira has been destroyed over the years. He did, however, mention the April 1998 violent protests at the University of Lagos, as well as the June 1998 protests at the Kogi State Polytechnic.
Students went on a violent rampage, torching school facilities, including the library, in 2002. He went on to say that the majority of the kids involved in the violent activities were members of cults. He also stated that cult members are frequently aggressive and engage in a wide range of violent criminal activities both on and off campus.
As a result, it appears that Nigeria's higher education institutions are under threat. Regrettably, this scenario has had a negative impact on both faculty and student social and academic life on campus. As a result, there is a need for research into violent crimes at Nigerian tertiary institutions in order to find potential solutions.
1.3 The Study's Objectives
In general, the purpose of this research is to examine students and
Lecturers' perceptions of violent crime in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The study's specific objectives are as follows.
1. Determine the nature of violent crimes committed in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
2. To determine the causes of the apparent increase in violent crimes in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
3. Determine the impact of violent crime on Nigerian tertiary institutions.
1.4 Research Issue
The following questions were developed for the purposes of this study:
1. What is the nature of violent crime in Nigerian tertiary institutions?
2. What are the causes of the apparent increase in violent crimes in Nigerian tertiary institutions?
3. What are the ramifications of violent crimes in Nigerian tertiary institutions?
1.5 The Study's Importance
This research will be useful.
use by the Nigerian government and relevant authorities in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The authorities will be in a better position to address the problems of violent crimes in tertiary institutions in Nigeria if they obtain more information on the nature, patterns, and causes of violent crimes in tertiary institutions. Similarly, the data will help the government develop effective crime prevention measures for Nigerian tertiary institutions. Studying will be extremely beneficial for staff and students who are potential victims of violent crimes in tertiary institutions. This study will also serve as a resource for researchers, students, and other academics.
1.6 The Study's Scope
This study is limited to identifying the nature of violent crimes in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions, as well as the reasons for these crimes.
for the apparent increase in violent crimes in Nigerian tertiary institutions and the impact of violent crime on Nigerian tertiary institutions. As a result, respondents for this study will be drawn from the Federal University of Awka in Anambra State.
1.7. Study Restrictions
The following are some of the study's limitations:
Finance: Due to people's, including the researchers', economic difficulties, a larger sample size, which would have allowed the study to reach a larger region, has become impossible. As a result, this work will be limited to manufacturing companies/industries in Nigeria's South Eastern region.
Time: It was not surprising that the researcher was constrained by time constraints, as this posed a direct challenge to the effective coverage intended in the study.
the course of this report. The researcher intends to interview all employees of the selected manufacturing companies, but due to the researcher's numerous activities, which include academics, work schedules, and other social activities, it has become difficult to explain the intention.
1.8 Terms Definition
Students' crises are defined in this paper as a rampage by students to press for their demands on specific issues with authorities of various tertiary institutions of learning.
A violent crime, violent felony, crime of violence, or crime of a violent nature is one in which an offender or perpetrator employs or threatens to employ force against a victim.
This is a tertiary institution. The Employer recognizes a university or other tertiary education provider that offers degrees, diplomas, or teacher education courses.


How will Anna manage as the boss for a few days?

Last time we heard Anna pitching her new plastic aubergine idea to Paul, in a lift. He was on his way to a biscuit-lovers' convention and didn't have much time. She gave the perfect elevator pitch and now it's down to Paul to give her idea the go ahead. But the problem is, he seems to have gone missing.
