Adding a custom code block to your layout is just like adding any other block; open up the Visual Editor, ensure you're in Grid Mode, and then drag a box anywhere you have room. Choose Custom Code Block as the block type, and open up the block options. The only block open is the Content – click the edit pencil and drop in your custom code.
Note: The custom code block doesn't have any syntax highlighting because it supports so many different languages. Syntax highlighting is a valuable tool, especially to the new developer, so consider creating your code in a program like Notepad++ (Windows) or Textmate (Mac) – both free. This will help tip you off to errors and save you a ton of frustration; then you can just copy/paste between your code editor and Headway!
Mix and match the following code snippets to create your custom content. You can read a basic primer on HTML Elements here, but the idea is that there are different bits of code called tags that represent something to web browsers. For example, an A tag represents that a link is being defined, and an IMG tag represents that an image is going to be embedded. Within these tags you define different attributes, such as the SRC attribute in an IMG tag, or the HREF attribute in the A tag.
The SRC parameter is where you put the URL to your image. This can be a relative URL or an absolute URL. I'm oversimplifying this, but for your purposes in general a relative URL will be the URL but excluding your domain – so, for example, /wp-content/uploads/2012/12/myimage.jpg vs. http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/myimage.jpg. The former is useful if you're developing a site on a test URL or if the URL may change later. The TITLE attribute defines the friendly title for the image, and the ALT attribute defines the alternative text if the image can't be viewed.
We open with an A tag and define the HREF attribute as the URL that we want to link out to. You can also replace the hyperlinked text in the middle of the element with an IMG element.
You may know this one already! Paragraphs are just blocks of text surrounded in a P tag, like below. You may also see folks sprinkling "line breaks" – BR tags – into their content. The difference here is mainly that on most sites/themes, your P tag will give you a "hard return" and the line break will give you the "soft return". The former is more space between lines, the latter has no extra space.
Note that the class isn't a required attribute, but it's handy if you need to add styles to your DIV. The class can be anything you want – it's smart to name classes semantically and use consistent capitalization such as all lowercase, or my favorite, camelCase. Remember: capitalization matters with classes!
Design mode has a few limited options for styling within the custom code block – there aren't any definite elements that we know will appear there – it's all up to you! So often, the styling within a custom code block is up to you as well. Yes, this means custom CSS!
My favorite way to target a custom code block in general is to give the block a custom class. You can do this in the block options under the Config tab. It's not required, but if you don't have a lot of custom classes within your custom code block content, it's harder to target just your custom code block.
CSS is an extensive language, but we love it for it's simplicity. Once you know the basics, you can do a lot with just a few lines. Because it's so broad, however, the easiest way to show you the options with CSS is to throw out a few examples, so let's do just that!
You may want to at least skim through a few of the articles aimed at beginners on great sites like CSS-Tricks, Tuts+, Code Academy and W3 Schools. You may also want to bookmark this great list of available CSS attributes.
This is a common one you'll see throughout the web. You know how to add a custom code block and drop in your IMG element and your P elements, but how do you get the dang image to show up to the right or left side with the text on the other side?
Let's say we'd like to make the heading orange, the text a light gray (we'll also change the font sizes and fonts) and we want that image to hang out over on the left side with a little extra room horizontally so the text doesn't bump up against it.
This custom CSS should go into the Live CSS Editor (found in the Tools drop-down in Design Mode in the Visual Editor). When you drop it in there, it'll give you something like this!
Small changes can make a big difference here. We used our special class, .mySpecialDiv to target our specific custom code block in all of our code. All our code is structured the same way – first the custom class we defined, and then the element we want to target within the element with that class. So for example, here we target the IMG within the custom code block effectively. Note that if we had more than one image in our code, this would affect *all* images in our code – which may give you unexpected results! You can also add a class attribute to any other HTML element, so feel free to add and use custom classes as necessary on your HTML elements when you need something more specific!
Hopefully now you've got a better idea of how you can start leveraging those custom code blocks to insert linked images, blocks of text or links that you can't or don't want to insert using one of the other core Headway blocks. How have you recently used custom code blocks? How are you planning to use them in the future?
The snippet for the picture and text is a great bit of code. The only thing is my title and text are too close…. what would be the best way to add a little gap?
Have you tried the latest version we just pushed out, 3.6.3 There are new responsive features where you can actually set the responsive breakpoints. This might help with your issues.
how to customize search results with multiple keywords ? Sir , I want to add custom query to get the custom post result, and also tell me the location of default template in "Headway Theme".

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona responded to the shock of being eliminated from the Champions League by AS Roma by beating Valencia 2-1 on Saturday at the Nou Camp, setting a Liga record run of 39 games unbeaten and taking them ever closer to another title.
Luis Suarez gave Barca the lead after 15 minutes, meeting a delicious outside-of-the-foot pass from former Liverpool team mate Philippe Coutinho and scoring with one touch from close range.
Club-record signing Coutinho then delivered an outswinging corner from which Samuel Umtiti headed in Barca's second in the 51st minute, shortly after Gerard Pique had saved Umtiti's blushes by clearing a shot from Valencia forward Santi Mina off the line following a slip by the France defender.
Captain Dani Parejo pulled back a goal for third-placed Valencia by squeezing an 87th-minute penalty under Barca goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but the Catalans withstood an exciting final spell to move to within seven points of their 25th league title.
Ernesto Valverde's side lead nearest challengers Atletico Madrid by 14 points in the standings, with Atletico hosting Levante and fourth-placed Real visiting basement club Malaga on Sunday.
The Barca coach praised his players for putting the Roma defeat behind them but said their European exit had punctured their enthusiasm for the unbeaten record.
"This wasn't a week to think about records, we don't give it too much importance. It was more important that we picked ourselves up after a difficult week," Valverde told a news conference.
With heavy rain falling in the city all day, 30,000 seats at the 99,000-capacity Nou Camp were unoccupied and even when Suarez provided a slick finishing touch to Coutinho's wonderful pass, celebrations were muted.
Valencia had made a good start and winger Goncalo Guedes hammered an early shot at Ter Stegen, who made another impressive save to thwart the Portuguese later in the half after Gerard Pique had surrendered the ball.
The German goalkeeper ran himself into trouble as he sent a pass straight at the feet of Valencia forward Rodrigo but redeemed himself by tipping the shot on to the crossbar and behind.
Lionel Messi was inactive for much of the first half but grew into the game in the second, narrowly volleying over the bar and fizzing a shot just wide after tearing through the Valencia defence.
"The atmosphere around the club this week has been a bit gloomy and we needed to put the brakes on that so I have to congratulate the players because it's not been easy," added Valverde.
Villarreal and Sevilla missed the chance to put pressure on fifth-placed Real Betis as they drew a thrilling game 2-2 at a sun-drenched Sanchez Pizjuan stadium, which saw a player from each side sent off and a missed penalty.
Sevilla had exited the Champions League in midweek to Bayern Munich and things got worse as Dani Raba and Carlos Bacca scored either side of the interval for Villarreal and Wissan Ben Yedder was sent off.
Jaume Costa was later dismissed for the visitors after conceding a penalty which Nolito squandered but the forward scored two minutes later and Steven Nzonzi buried an equaliser from long range in the 82nd.
Villarreal are sixth on 48 points, Sevilla are seventh on 47, with Betis fifth on 52 after winning 1-0 at Girona on Friday.


NEW DELHI: Regulator Trai will meet all telecom service providers on July 21 to seek their views on 'minimum floor price' for voice and data tariffs, as being demanded by some operators, an official has said.
The minimum floor price, for both data and voice calls, has been demanded by a section of incumbent telecom operators, but implementing it could mean an end to freebies in the market.
Also, the tariffs are currently under forbearance -- operators virtually have a free hand in fixing the rates and report plans to Trai in 7 days of launch -- and, hence, a floor price setting, if it happens, would imply a shift from that regime.
The regulator will ask the operators to explain their views on 'minimum floor price' for tariffs, and also the formulation or math for the fixing such a rate, the official said.
During the meeting, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) will seek the rationale for the floor price demand, and has asked operators to also give detailed presentation to support their arguments. It is also expected to ask the telcos why an upper ceiling for tariffs is not similarly justified.
The demand for imposition of a floor price first came up last month, at industry's meetings with the regulator and separately with the inter-ministerial group (IMG).
Highlighting the growing financial stress on operators, Idea Cellular, in its presentation to the IMG had said that the industry has been witnessing losses and negative returns driven by below cost tariffs that are "predatory".
"Only solution is to have floor prices for voice, SMS, and data services so mobile telecom businesses generate adequate profits to invest and then compete based on quality of services" it had said citing nations like Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh which have such floors.
It may be recalled that Mukesh Ambani promoted Reliance Jio had stormed into the telecom market last year, wooing customers with promotional free voice and data services. Jio still offers aggressive data plans and has promised that voice calls will forever be free on its network.
In fact, Jio's promotional freebies for seven months is blamed by incumbent operators for the financial woes of the sector. The industry's debt stands at Rs 4.6 lakh crore.


Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels spent today throwing haymakers at each other on Twitter.
Nicki said that Safaree was an ungrateful crybaby. SB recalled the time Nicki tried to kill him with a knife and suggested she's currently in a bad mood because Queen's first week sales are soft.
But the best part of their nasty exchange was when Tyga's male pattern baldness got dragged into it.
Tyga took the hairline revelation in good humor, plugging the doctor who gave him the plugs.
We learned from Nicki's Twitter that the hair restoration procedure Tyga and SB got on the same day cost 10K.
There's no way Tyga -- who's Birdman Jr. when it comes to paying people -- ever gave Dr. Ziering that sum of money. So it's good to see that at least the hair doc is getting some (belated) promo.


With the Toronto Raptors reportedly set to sign Lin after his contract with Atlanta is bought out, here is a look back at the 26-game span that made Lin a star.
TORONTO — For at least part of one season, Jeremy Lin might have been the most popular player in the NBA.
Starting the 2011-12 campaign as a deep bench player sleeping on his brother's couch, he led an unexpected turnaround of a struggling New York Knicks franchise, creating a basketball craze known as "Linsanity" in the process.
An injury cut his breakout season short, and while he has remained a useful player, his career since hasn't generated the same buzz.
FROM OUT OF NOWHERE — Lin's path to the NBA is as improbable as they come. Undrafted despite blossoming into a star at Harvard while completing his economics degree, Lin signed a two-year deal with his hometown Golden State Warriors and played sparingly in 29 games for them in 2010-11, becoming the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA. Next season he was picked up on waivers by New York, where he was banished to the far extremity of the bench. But an injury to Baron Davis and generally woeful play by the Knicks had coach Mike D'Antoni desperate for an alternative.
DEEP DAGGER — One of Lin's most memorable shots came at Scotiabank Arena (then Air Canada Centre) on Feb. 14, 2012, a three-point dagger at the final buzzer that gave the Knicks a 90-87 win over the Raptors. Lin, in his fifth career start, didn't exactly look like a phenom in the game, committing eight turnovers and missing four free throws — all in the fourth quarter. But with the game tied and about 20 seconds left on the clock, Lin got the ball at half-court. With the crowd on its feet and cheering, he stared down Toronto guard Jose Calderon for what seemed like an eternity, then stepped up to the top of the arc and drained a three-pointer with .5 seconds remaining on the clock.
COVER BOY — It's a rare feat for an athlete to make the cover of Sports Illustrated more than once, let alone two weeks in a row. But Lin did just that. His first cover shot came in the Feb. 13, 2012 issue and had Lin as the face of the Knicks' big turnaround in the wake of a 92-85 win over Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Lin had 38 points in that game. A week later the magazine took a deeper look at Lin's background, with the article claiming Lin was more popular in China than former Houston Rockets superstar Yao Ming.
END OF A (BRIEF) ERA — For a stretch of 26 games in 2012 — from the Feb. 4 win over New Jersey to a March 24 win over Detroit — Lin led the Knicks to a 16-10 record. After starting the season at 8-15 before Lin's breakout, the Knicks finished the lockout-shortened season 36-30 and made the playoffs as the Eastern Conference's seventh seed. Lin wasn't around to help out in the post-season, however, as he underwent surgery for a season-ending knee injury after the March 24 game. He became a restricted free agent after the season, and Houston signed him to a three-year, US$25-million offer sheet that New York would not match.

How am I supposed to know if I'm stealing?
i've often wonder that myself. the problem is that the tv/movie industry is not keeping up with what the consumer wants. they are getting better with sites like hulu.com but they need to try a lot harder. the people want to watch shows when THEY want at ANY time.

Kafoumba Coulibaly (Abidjan, 26 oktober 1985) is een Ivoriaans voormalig voetballer die doorgaans speelde als middenvelder. Tussen 2003 en 2017 speelde hij voor ASEC Mimosas, Beveren, Chonburi, BEC Tero, SC Bastia, OGC Nice, Kasımpaşa en CA Bastia. Coulibaly maakte in 2008 zijn debuut in het Ivoriaans voetbalelftal en kwam uiteindelijk tot twaalf interlands.

Carrière
Coulibaly, een verdedigende middenvelder, begon zijn carrière bij Académie de Sol Beni, de jeugdopleiding van de Ivoriaanse topclub die wordt geleid door de voormalig Frans international Jean-Marc Guillou. In 2004 verhuisde hij naar Beveren, dat uitkwam in de Jupiler Pro League. Vervolgens speelde hij in Thailand voor Chonburi en BEC Tero. In 2007 werd Coulibaly ingelijfd door SC Bastia, uitkomend in de Ligue 2. Na een goed debuutseizoen in de Franse competitie, werd hij overgenomen door OGC Nice, dat een niveau hoger uitkomt. In 2012 vertrok Coulibaly naar Kasımpaşa, maar na een half jaar besloot hij die club achter zich te laten. Na zeven maanden zonder club keerde Coulibaly terug bij Kasımpaşa en bleef er deze keer anderhalf jaar, waarna hij in januari 2015 weer vertrok. In mei 2017, na ruim twee jaar zonder club te hebben gezeten, tekende de Ivoriaan voor CA Bastia. Na één wedstrijd zette hij een punt achter zijn loopbaan als voetballer.

Internationale carrière
Coulibaly werd opgenomen in de selectie van het Ivoriaans voetbalelftal op de Olympische Zomerspelen 2008 in Beijing. Hij maakte zijn debuut voor het nationale elftal op 7 september 2008 in een kwalificatiewedstrijd voor het WK van 2010 tegen Mozambique.

The Popravinas! "Goons West"
Published on 13 Aug 2021 by veglamLeave a comment
American powerpop band The POPRAVINAS are back with a 4th album. Influenced by bands like The REPLACEMENTS, they give a lot of importance to the melodies in their music as you can hear in "Do The Creep" or in "Is There Anybody, Anywhere But Here?" The POPRAVINAS also have an americana (almost country side) in songs like "Self Made Derecho" or "Fade Out." It sometimes feels like The STONES are jammin' with SOUL ASYLUM when you listen to "Feasibility Holdout" or "Minor Resistance" and you'll hear a Western saloon atmosphere in "Bunkin' In Reno"! A song like "Might Want Out" has a 90s indie vibe, you can easily picture REM playing it while "Zoom To The Ocean" and "Who Started That" both take us to 60s/early 70s California. If you look for a cool summer album with solid songwriting, then look no further! /Laurent C.

California pop rockers The POPRAVINAS have been playing for quite some time now since they started in the mid-2000s and released their first album ("Everybody's Fault But Ours") in 2008. Their music is a fine mix of powerpop and alt-country with a a bit of ROLLING STONES thrown in ("Talkin' Out Loud", "Did Ya") and BEATLES influenced vocal harmonies ("Tim's Basement", "Had Way (To Make an Easy Living".) The alt-country side of the band shows more in "Almost Sick" and in "Put It All To Bed" in which you'll hear some melodies that also bring SOUL ASYLUM to mind, and a song like "Dun' Me In" is catchy enough for you to remember and sing it for the rest of the day after you've listened to it. Check it out! /Laurent C.

Ive just started using this and my skin looks a bit more supple and plump.
I was sent this to review - it smells delicious and I think the packaging looks great. It definitely made my skin feel soft as I was rubbing it in and was a nice extra to have alongside my regular skincare routine. I dont know if it has made a huge difference or not, but my skin certainly doesnt feel quite as pallid or dry as it sometimes does in winter. However, I am currently pregnant so Im not sure if my skin has more of a natural glow because of hormones, rather than just because of the serum. Overall I really like it and although it is expensive I imagine it will last a long time as you use such a small amount.
This is quite nice to put under your normal moisturiser. I cant say it has improved my skin though.

Asia stocks mixed, euro hits 9-year low against US dollar
Jan 5, 2015, 10:54 am SGT
http://str.sg/E7u
HONG KONG (AFP) - Asian markets were mixed Monday as the first full week of 2015 got under way, while the euro hit a nine-year low against the US dollar at one point on growing expectations of fresh European Central Bank stimulus.
Oil extended its losses to sit at five-and-a-half-year lows due to signs of further weakening in the eurozone economy, with both contracts falling towards US$50 a barrel.
Tokyo slipped 0.68 per cent by the break, Hong Kong lost 0.70 per cent, Shanghai gained 0.74 per cent, Sydney added 0.24 per cent and Seoul was 0.91 per cent lower.
The Straits Times Index was trading down 32.56 points, or 0.97 per cent, at 3,338.03 at about 10:50am.
The year got off to a tentative start after a broadly positive end to 2014 for most markets.
While there are few catalysts to drive business this week, eyes will be on the release on Friday of US jobs data. Traders are already in broad agreement that the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates around the middle of the year and another strong batch of employment figures will reinforce that view.
The greenback, which was already pushing up against the euro, climbed further Monday after the head of the European Central Bank reiterated the possibility of more monetary easing to kickstart the eurozone.
In an interview with German business daily Handelsblatt at the end of last week, ECB President Mario Draghi said deflation was a threat and the central bank needs to be prepared to counter it.
But the risk that the central bank will not be able to move inflation higher "has increased compared to six months ago," he said.
As a result, the ECB "is currently technically preparing to adjust the size, speed and composition of our measures at the start of 2015, should it become necessary", he added.
The comments sent the single currency tumbling to as low as US$1.1865 early Monday, the lowest since March 2006, before rebounding to US$1.1963. That compares with US$1.2002 in New York Friday.
Adding to downward pressure on the unit is uncertainty in Greece, which holds a general election this month, with concerns that the anti-austerity Syriza party will take control.
Markets fear the party will roll back measures required under the IMF-EU bailout of the country, in turn further weakening the eurozone economy.
In other currency trade the dollar was at 120.39 yen against 120.46 yen in New York.
Oil prices fell further owing to a global supply glut and weak demand. West Texas Intermediate, the US benchmark, eased 35 cents to US$52.34 while Brent crude for February fell 41 cents to US$56.01.


Let's talk numbers… How much is all this going to cost?
Of course, the first question is usually- How much is all this going to cost?
We can't list all-inclusive package pricing, because every film is so uniquely tailored to the individual client's needs. But costs are always on our mind. During the conception phase, before cameras ever roll, we make sure the video will be both the best possible visual marketing tool for your business, and the highest dollar value for the agreed budget.
Our clients are consistently surprised buy just how affordable a high quality H3 video really is.
How would I even go about getting started?
We help you every step of the way. From concept to scripting to shooting and into post-production, we are right next to you. We are privileged to work with an amazing talent pool of online marketing experts, copy writers, voice-over artists, hair and make up- everything needed to create a visual wonder that will attract new customers and drive sales. And we are eager to share our expertise with our clients.
At H3, we value our relationships as much as the finished video. We will give you answers to questions you didn't even know to ask.
Just like big-budget Hollywood movies, the actual shooting takes the least amount of time. During pre-production, we take the time to get to know your business which enables us to conceptualize the most effective direction to steer the film.
After shooting, the editing and post-production magic happens. This is where we add the extra sparkle and eye-candy that give H3 films their unique look. All of our post-production is performed in-house, for the quickest completion time.
Every video is slightly different, but generally, 4-6 weeks could be considered a normal turn-around time.
Can I really create my own video, DIY?
Sure you can. And we'd be happy to coach you in methods to get the best result possible. In addition to personal 1 on 1 trainings, we offer local seminars on DIY videos and Video Marketing.
We believe that an ongoing library of DIY videos produced by a client is just as important as a more elaborate professional video, especially if used with an H3 BRANDED VIDEO INTRO.
You know, my warehouse really isn't much of a film set…and what if I don't want to be on camera?
We can shoot out on location, or use a studio environment. It's amazing sometimes, what good lighting and camera angle can accomplish.
There are many options available, from narrated voice-over to animated graphics. Whatever you decide, your business, product or service will be captured in the best light, and be delivered to you polished and ready to drive your company to the next level.


VICTORVILLE – Holiday shoppers are in luck because those who need a quick snack or shopping break will soon have a new option just in time for the holiday season.
Open! Open! Open! Victor Valley residents have secretly thought, and some have even verbally expressed since the August 2015 announcement of the opening of a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in the City of Victorville.
The original opening dates for the 3,050 square foot location in the 15200 block of Civic Drive have been pushed forward due to minor construction and other delays. "Edison was the hold up for awhile, as the fires pulled a lot of their manpower and they just recently got power," said General Manager Kathy Hunt. With construction now being in the final stages, the new projected opening date is Tuesday, December 6, 2016.
With their famous hot glazed donuts, free WiFi, 24-Hour drive thru, and delicious hot and cold beverages, it is no wonder why people are so excited. Hunt said that they will be serving coffee, hot chocolate, lattes, cappuccinos, flavored chillers, plus a great selection of bottled drinks. "We have a great customer appreciation rewards program and we want to involve the community with great fundraising opportunities," said Hunt.
Prior to this announcement, Victor Valley residents had to travel to Palmdale, Ontario, or the City of Industry to experience the hot fresh glazed Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.


The Special Use Permit would allow an agricultural service establishment (truck parking facility) on a 2-acre portion of a 7.7-acre site. The truck parking facility would be owned and operated by the occupant of the on-site residence. The trucks being parked at the site haul only agricultural products (hay and citrus). A maximum of four truck parking spaces and five personal vehicle spaces are proposed. Employees arrive at the site in the morning and park their personal vehicles; then drive the trucks during the day. The days and hours of operation would be Monday - Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Standing Up to the Queens Machine
Cynthia Nixon to endorse Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Progressive women to cross-endorse each other
Move comes as corporatist Democratic women still turn their backs on progressives
New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon is set to endorse Bronx-native and progressive Latina Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress one day before the Democratic Party primary election for New York's Fourteenth Congressional District.
"Alexandria's running an inspiring, insurgent, progressive campaign powered by the people," said gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon, adding that, "She represents the future of the Democratic Party."
— The New York Daily News
In a mutual showing of solidarity, Ocasio-Cortez is also expected to endorse Nixon's gubernatorial candidacy.
Both women are forgoing corporate donations and support a single-payer health care system, 100% renewable energy and abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Ocasio-Cortez faces the Queens machine boss, U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley (Establishment-NY) in a primary election on Tuesday, whereas Nixon is set to face-off against Gov. Andrew Cuomo (Establishment-NY) in their own primary, on Sept. 13.
The way that Nixon and Ocasio-Cortez have expressed support for each others' campaigns contrasts with their treatment from othern prominent Democratic Party women. Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (Establishment-NY) have prominently called for the election of more women, but both have stood on the sidelines — by refusing to endorse either Nixon or Ocasio-Cortez, earning the ire of the progressive faithful on social media platforms, where, notably on Twitter, U.S. Sen. Gillibrand faced a backlash over her endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez's establishment incumbent rival.

Annual Reports Section "C" (Physical Chemistry)
Zeolites: physical aspects and environmental applications
Christopher J. Rhodesa
a Fresh-Lands, P.O.Box 2074, Reading, UK
E-mail: cjrhodes@freshlands.com
Research into zeolites continues apace, both in a search to elucidate their fundamental properties with the view to synthesising specifically-tailored materials for particular applications, and in finding new applications from the considerable existing knowledge about these important and remarkable materials, especially in relation to providing cleaner ("green") processes with less impact on the environment, and in environmental remediation strategies. Advances in theoretical methods are likely to play an increased role in predicting the features and synthetic viability of modified and novel zeolite structures. As pressure mounts on the World's finite and dwindling supplies of hydrocarbons—obtained mainly from crude oil (and increasingly from coal and natural gas)—developments in the use of zeolites as catalysts to render known hydrocarbon cracking and oxidation chemistry more efficient, and the discovery of new catalytic processes, involving zeolites, both for the procurement and modification of hydrocarbons are to be expected.

Докшици (; ; ) град је у северном делу Републике Белорусије. Административно припада Докшичком рејону у Витепској области, чији је уједно и административни центар.

Према процени из 2014. у граду је живело 6.800 становника.

Географија
Град се налази на око 1 километар источно од реке Березине, односно на око 160 км западно од административног центра области града Витепска и 150 км северно од главног града Минска. Важна је саобраћајна тачка на друмском правцу који повезује Маладзечну и Полацк.

Историја
У повељи књаза Витаутаса из 1407. помињу се кнежеви поданици "-{doxyczahe}-" који су предани на службу вилњуском војводи Војтеху Манивиду. Наредни помен насеља односи се на 1608. годину када је ту основана прва католичка црква.

После друге поделе Пољске из 1793. подручје долази под управу Руске Империје и административно припада Минској губернији. Исте године основан је и Докшички управни округ. Докшици су 1795. добили административни статус града, а веч наредне године и властити грб. Међутим свега 4 године касније округ је распуштен, а насеље поново деградирано на статус насељеног места.

Током Наполеонове инвазије на Русију 1812. године Докшици су били окупирани од стране француских трупа и више пута паљени.

У периоду 1918—1939. Докшици су били у саставу Пољске, а у границе Совјетског Савеза враћају се након присаједињења Западне Белорусије Белоруској ССР. Докшички рејон успостављен је већ 1940. године.

Становништво
Према процени, у граду је 2014. живело 6.800 становника.

Напомена: према проценама националне службе за статистику.

Саобраћај
Кроз град пролазе друмски правци од републичког значаја Р3 (Лагојск—Глибокаје—граница са Летонијом), Р29 (Ушачи—Вилејка) и Р86 (Багушевск—Лепељ—Мјадзел).

Међународна сарадња

Q: OpenNMT issue with PyTorch: .copy_ function not clear behavior I'm working with the PyTorch version OpenNMT and I'm trying to modify the Beam Search algorithm. I'm currently stuck in the  beam_update function (in OpenNMT-py/onmt/decoders/decoder.py file). When it is called:
sent_states.data.copy_(
                sent_states.data.index_select(1, positions))

according to the pythorch documentation of the .copy_ function it will

Copies the elements from src into self tensor and returns self.

But, what is "self tensor" referring to? Can someone explain to me what this function do or point me to the source code, since I cannot find it...

A: The self tensor is the tensor you call copy_ on.
In your example it is sent_states.data.

To answer the question raised in the comments: Why does copy not behave like assigning with =
.copy() creates a real copy to a new memory location, while assigning with = only stores a reference to the memory location.
The code below shows the difference in execution:
import torch

torch.manual_seed(3515)
tensor1 = torch.rand(2, 3)
tensor2 = torch.rand(2, 2)
tensor3 = torch.rand(2, 3)
positions = torch.tensor([2, 0])

tensor2.data.copy_(tensor1.data.index_select(1, positions))
tensor3.data = tensor1.data.index_select(1, positions)
print(tensor2)
print(tensor3)
print(id(tensor1.data[0]))
print(id(tensor2.data[0]))
print(id(tensor3.data[0]))

Output:
tensor([[ 0.5939,  0.8861],
        [ 0.7525,  0.1537]])
tensor([[ 0.5939,  0.8861],
        [ 0.7525,  0.1537]])
4583187080
4583187008
4583187080

The location of tensor1 and tensor3 are the same, while tensor2 has been copied to a new location

More About Australia
The World : Australia
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.


I think this might have been a Triumph Herald, or was it a Hillman Imp??
Anyway, it's seen better days.
Sorry, sad bad puns ceasing forthwith.
The Imp was rear-engined. I can't quite tell from the photo, but if that's an engine at the front, then it's a Herald.
Ah, I forgot about the rear engine…there will be something in the next image which should clear this up, but you'll have to wait a few days!
Heraldic it may be…. and I can quite see why you might like a running classic rather than this sad old thing!
Ooh! Very nice curves, even if they aren't meant to be there. The angle is just right.
Yes, all in the same forest….
I'll go for Herald, my first car too!
Thanks, Cee…it was a wonderful place!
You are so good at cars, Sue. I had no idea except for the Anglia.
Oh, I'm a bit of a petrolhead with older cars!
"Petrolhead"!What a great expression! The exact meaning?
A slang term, meaning varies a little in different English speaking countries, but in Britain it basically means a car enthusiast!
And you can see proof of my petrolheadedness in my latest post!!

Learn about four key actions for reshaping public services and revitalizing local communities.
Public services and social protection systems have been put under severe strain during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bold policies, such as a universal basic income, may need to be considered to ensure vulnerable people are protected.
Governments can empower local areas, so that they can extend the community spirit shown during the crisis.
The crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic is fundamentally reshaping our societies. And it has already accelerated the process of transformation for governments themselves.
Countries around the world are viewing this as a moment to reimagine the future of government.
EY has identified four strategic priorities for governments as they seek to reimagine their future:
Regenerating economies
Reshaping public services and revitalizing local communities
Retaining and extending innovative ways of working
Repairing public finances
Here, we look at the opportunity to reshape public services and revitalize local communities.
The pandemic has put public services under huge pressure, and its economic legacy will place a further strain on social protection systems. This is exacerbated by the precariousness of gig economy employment practices, such as part-time work and zero-hours contracts; high youth unemployment; and a continuing gender employment and pay gap. We need a new social contract that reflects these twenty-first century realities. Such reforms would take account of changes in work, technology, and family structures, and involve an overhaul of employment regulations, social security protections and the pensions system.
The COVID-19 crisis is having a further effect on government activities, which may be just as far-reaching: it increased the digital provision of public services to a degree not previously imagined. With 82% of respondents to the EY European Attractiveness Survey 2020 (pdf) expecting technology adoption to accelerate in the next three years as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, governments have an opportunity to embed these changes and improve their service delivery at a lower cost.
Here are four key considerations for government.

Reform social protection and care systems
Ways to extend coverage to more elderly and vulnerable people.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the urgency of social protection reform into stark relief. It has exacerbated many existing social problems and has disproportionately affected some of the more vulnerable segments of society. In the years ahead, governments will be called upon to support larger numbers of vulnerable people, and to do it better. But the vast majority of the world — 71% or 5.2 billion people — are inadequately or not at all covered by social-protection schemes.
There is cause for optimism, however. The current crisis could serve as the catalyst for a new social contract, just as the Second World War led to a significant expansion of the welfare state in many countries. Indeed, people may now be receptive to radical reform, having felt a new sense of connection with and responsibility for their fellow citizens during the pandemic.
Even before COVID-19, many commentators were arguing for a universal basic income (UBI), minimum income guarantee or other similar schemes that offer regular and unconditional transfers of money to offer a basic means to live. The appeal of such schemes has risen as millions find themselves unemployed, furloughed or struggling with loss of incomes and an uncertain future. These programs could continue over the long term, to offer support and protection to the self-employed, those on zero-hours contracts, or people doing unpaid work, such as caring for relatives. In Spain, the Minister for Economic Affairs, Nadia Calvino, has already announced the country's intention to make UBI a permanent "structural instrument" once the crisis is over.
A global shortage of around 13.6 million long-term care workers, combined with the lack of universal health care coverage, means that close to half of the population aged 65 and above has unmet care needs.
More broadly, the crisis may present the opportunity to create more comprehensive, efficient and permanent social protection systems. Governments can reduce the future financial burden of social security benefits by projecting the needs of the population and taking preventative action before crises occur. One vision for an inclusive recovery is New Zealand's post-pandemic "Wellbeing Budget," which prioritizes not just financial health, but also natural resources, people and communities, through investment in mental health, indigenous people, poverty reduction, education and skills development. New-generation protection systems will need to be flexible enough to support individuals pursuing nontraditional life and career paths, including intermittent, part-time and informal working, and frequent career changes.
The pandemic has also highlighted some very real issues for elderly populations around the world. Beyond the immediate health impact, it has put older people at a greater risk of poverty, discrimination and isolation. But a global shortage of around 13.6 million long-term care workers, combined with the lack of universal health care coverage,1 means that close to half of the population aged 65 and above has unmet care needs. Governments will increasingly look to change how they support, care for and value older people through reforms to their aged care systems.
Embed digital public service delivery models
Turning short-term fixes into strategic advances.
The COVID-19 pandemic has seen more governments turn to new technologies and delivery models to help them tackle multiple dimensions of the crisis. The greater adoption of digital channels across social services, health, education, justice and taxation during the pandemic offers the potential for many long-term benefits in terms of quality and accessibility of services, as well as efficiency gains.
For example, new digital platforms have helped citizens better understand and navigate social services entitlements, check their eligibility, and submit and track applications. And, we have seen an upsurge in digital health solutions such as remote consultations, telehealth platforms and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered assessment apps, which many users have found convenient. The UK Government is looking to make all general practitioner consultations virtual on an ongoing basis, unless there is a strong clinical reason for a physical meeting.
During the crisis, social services agencies noted a decline in reports of concern about the most vulnerable children and families from the usual points of referral (such as schools and hospitals). This has heightened concerns for their welfare and led to fears of a surge in demand for services as we emerge from the crisis. In response, some agencies are putting greater emphasis on using data from a wide range of indicators to identify "at risk" individuals and families so they can take preventative action and prioritize resources effectively to meet future demand.
Some services will return to a "face-to-face" model once it is safe to do so. However, in many cases, a hybrid model is likely to emerge, blending new digital delivery mechanisms with the best of traditional, in-person services. For example, in the early days of the pandemic, students in many countries moved to the remote learning model within days. The temporary shift gave education providers a chance to think about the opportunities for ongoing student-centric and digital learning that can offer real benefits in terms of outcomes.
To ensure digital services are accessible to all, many governments are considering investing in (or regulating for) the creation of supporting infrastructure such as 5G and broadband. 5G will provide the connectivity that will transform the lives of billions of citizens, enabling working from home, improved mobility, telehealth and online education. In India, the Kerala Government has announced that it will provide extra 5G bandwidth across the state as more people work and study online due to COVID-19.
Re-empower local communities
A new settlement between central and local government.
Whether through greater support for neighbors in need or simply through spending more time using local shops, parks and services, communities have come together strongly during the COVID-19 crisis. In Brazil, for example, citizen activists formed "crisis cabinets," creating tailored public information campaigns, and taking food and other essentials to those in need.2
It is this kind of community spirit that will help citizens rebuild their communities and social infrastructure, delivering grassroots solutions that fuel positive changes. This spirit can be captured and sustained by encouraging more participative governance and re-empowering local communities to take leading roles in social care, town planning and service provision.
To be most effective, community empowerment will require the support of government. Scotland's Government, for example, is funding community-led regeneration through its empowering communities fund, which aims to support the most disadvantaged or fragile communities. This gives people more power to make decisions on spending in their local areas through participatory budgeting, and making it easier for communities to take over land and buildings in public ownership through asset transfers.
With the right leadership, support and incentives, this revival of the local could become permanent, bringing many benefits such as support networks for the vulnerable, revitalized local high streets, and thriving local services and amenities due to increased usage. All of this would, in turn, lead to greater local resilience to future crises.
Local governments, regions and municipalities – with responsibility for health care, social services and economic development – have been at the frontline of crisis management during the pandemic. And they will continue to play a vital role in building resilient communities, facilitating and enabling networks, and supporting infrastructure and business growth to the benefit of their locality. The crisis presents an opportunity for local governments to reset and reframe their relationships with the center, but inter-governmental coordination will be vital.
Planning for a fairer economy and society.
The crisis has exposed long-standing, structural inequalities in society, such as life-expectancy gaps, poverty, food insecurity, unequal access to health and social services, racist and identity-based violence, and employment in low-wages and less secure jobs. Meanwhile, the world's billionaires have a combined wealth that is more than 60% of the global population.3
Evidence suggests that the recession will have a more prolonged impact on low-income workers. While employment rates have rebounded to pre-COVID-19 levels for high-wage workers in the US, for example, they remain significantly lower for low-wage workers.4
Evidence from previous crises shows that economic growth following crises can be associated with a reduction in inequality. This does not happen by accident, but through government action to invest differentially in education and skills for the future; to reshape social safety nets; to support the private sector in job creation; and to put in place a progressive tax system. With a rapid recovery looking unlikely before a vaccine for COVID-19 is deployed, and unemployment unlikely to drop back to pre-crisis levels, a specific action plan is required to address inequality.
One option is for governments to put a greater emphasis on active labor market policies (ALMPs) that can help unemployed and low-income workers find jobs or retrain. These ALMPs could include targeted tax incentives that encourage job creation and skills development in hardest-hit and future-oriented sectors. In the short term, ALMPs could also target stimulus relief linked to guarantees of job security and training.
This approach also requires the creation of more agile (and lifelong) education and retraining programs that adapt quickly to changing labor market needs, and help workers remain relevant and competitive. In India, for example, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has launched the Aatmanirbhar Skilled Employee Employer Mapping (ASEEM) portal to tackle the shortage of skilled workers. This AI-based platform will help people gain industry-relevant skills and find sustainable occupations post-COVID-19.
In addition, universal basic income (UBI) programs can also incorporate an education and training allowance for every citizen, providing a springboard for progression and personal development. This would not only provide economic security, but also allow workers to improve their employability and bargaining power with employers.

Green Economy Transition Promises Multiple Benefits for Small Island States
Nairobi – Creating the enabling conditions for a Green Economy transition in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) from improved public investment to reliable market instruments and better governance will help the estimated 50 million SIDS residents build climate resilience, achieve economic growth and enjoy better standards of living.
The transition will offer opportunities for SIDS to better manage natural capital, protect the environment, create green jobs and achieve sustainable development, according to studies by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner said, "For many Small Island Developing States, future development is dependent on a very narrow resource base that is constantly challenged by the high-risk impacts of climate change and natural disasters. In our lifetime, there may be small island developing nations that will cease to exist as a result of sea level rise."
"From economic growth to climate change and food security, the issues facing SIDS are multi-dimensional and require integrated action to address them. An inclusive Green Economy approach offers opportunities for SIDS to better manage natural capital, protect the environment, create green jobs and achieve sustainable development. For this end, it is vital that the right enabling conditions are provided to generate and stimulate both public and private sector investments that incorporate broader environmental and social criteria," he added.
Addressing Climate Change Vulnerability
SIDS are known to be especially vulnerable to climate change due to their small size, narrow resource base, high susceptibility to natural disasters, low economic resilience, and limited human and technological capacity.
In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimated that global warming will lead to a sea level rise of 180 to 590 mm by 2100, while more recent research suggests that these estimates are likely to be at least twice as large. Nations such as Kiribati, Maldives, Marshall Islands and Tuvalu will become uninhabitable in this scenario, while a large share of the population of many other SIDS will be displaced or otherwise adversely impacted.
These negative impacts come even though the combined annual carbon dioxide output of SIDS accounts for less than one per cent of global emissions, meaning they have not contributed significantly to climate change. However, SIDS emissions are on the rise: from 1990 to 2006, CO2 emissions of SIDS increased at an average annual rate of 2.3 per cent.
Adverse impacts on drinking water and agricultural production are expected due to saline intrusion on coastal aquifers and the destruction of coral reefs and fishery habitats from temperature rises and increased ocean acidification.
Other climate change impacts include the destruction of infrastructure and development gains due to stronger tropical cyclones, such as those in 2004 (Grenada, Haiti and Niue), 2005 (the Cook Islands) and 2008 (Cuba, Fiji and Haiti). For instance, Hurricane Ivan damaged 90 per cent of the housing stock of the island of Grenada, with an estimated impact of US $ 527 million or 38 per cent of the country's GDP, according to the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
Climate change adaptation has been identified as a top priority for SIDS. It also represents a major economic cost; the capital cost of sea level rise in the Caribbean Community Countries alone is estimated at US $ 187 billion by 2080 under a business-as-usual scenario.
UNEP's climate change adaptation programme works in SIDS across the Caribbean, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific to support them in reducing their vulnerability and building resilience to the impacts of climate change.
UNEP is working with SIDS to better understand the impacts and vulnerabilities associated with climate change, and to identify, select and implement adaptation options, including Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) approaches (using the services provided by ecosystems).
Through its National Adaptation Plans Global Support Programme, UNEP is also assisting SIDS in their long-term adaptation planning. Furthermore, to facilitate countries' access to adaptation finance, UNEP is supporting several SIDS in the process towards Adaptation Fund direct access accreditation.
Through Regional Networks linked with the Global Adaptation Network (GAN), UNEP is facilitating knowledge-sharing and learning on adaptation. To provide a platform for cross-regional exchanges between SIDS, UNEP is exploring interest from the countries and relevant organizations in launching a GAN inter-regional thematic network on SIDS at the Third SIDS Conference in Samoa.

How to model of indirect land use change (iLUC) in LCA? The iLUC Club develops and further refines a generic, simple and science-based model for including iLUC in LCA.
2.-0 LCA consultants have started an initiative to model the indirect Land Use Change (iLUC). The iLUC club is open to everyone. By subscribing you become a partner and have access to a various tools including methodology and data to apply the model.
More than 10% of global GHG emissions are related to land use changes (LUC). This is almost the same as global GHG emissions from transport and around half of global GHG emissions from electricity produced from coal. The magnitude of LUC emissions clearly indicates that excluding this from LCA is highly problematic. In addition, several LCIA methods suggest that land use related impacts are much more important than GHG emissions (Weidema 2015). This makes the exclusion of LUC from LCA even more problematic.
Often, the impacts from indirect land use change (iLUC) are lacking in LCA studies – or at the best, it is modelled without reasonable considerations on cause-effect relationships between the use of land and the induced effects. If iLUC impacts are not included properly in the LCA results, there is a great risk of producing misleading results. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a good generic way of modelling iLUC. This should not be limited to biofuels or some certain crops in a certain region. There is a need for a generic model that can be applied to all kinds of land using LCA processes (cultivation of crops, cattle grassland, forestry, and land for buildings and infrastructure).
In order to make such a model available, we established the iLUC Club in 2011, which now has more than 20 universities and companies as members. We are currently working on the fifth version of the model which makes use of global land use change matrices and satellite data. The model framework is documented in a peer reviewed scientic article: A framework for modelling indirect land use changes in life cycle assessment. The model has been compared with other iLUC models in a scientific paper, where it was ranked as the best performing with regard to several criteria. Further, we actively contribute to the ongoing scientific debate on iLUC.
intensification (which is also affected as a consequence of changes in demand for land).

On occasion of the 10th anniversary of our engagement with iLUC (15th Nov. 2017) we held a free webinar – the recording from this webinar can be seen here (youtube video) and the slides here (pdf).


fresh ricotta- made pancakes with it this morning with rhubarb sauce, and on the right is mozzarella.
It is delicious and no goat taste- just tastes like cheese!
The chicken killing season is over for another year. We sold all but six for ourselves and for everyone to taste when they come back to the ranch. George wanted to sell most of them to build up clientele.
We could have sold 100 more easily. Today we had a few larger ones averaging 5lbs so mainly had 4-5lbers and a few 3lbers.
George and I learned a lot and hope to improve the operation next year. We definitely would not have been successful without the help of our friends today.
We are thinking of 2 batches of chickens next year. We will send out letters earlier in the year to get an idea of demand and if anyone wants to come help- we pay in chickens!
We are tired and happy we actually succeeded at this new ranch enterprise.
Just a chicken update. We got a late start- the heating element went out of the scalder- so we took an old lick tub and put it on the base of the turkey cooker and it heated the water nice. The chicken plucker is amazing and fast. We did 104 birds in 3 hours including bagging and weighing. Our neighbors are helping us tomorrow for the last 75 birds. It is ideal to have 6-7 people helping- we are paying in birds. I got "my groove on" with eviscerating and did 35 birds myself. It goes fast and is not very stinky since the plucker even gets the smallest feathers off the birds. Average weight is around 4 lbs, a few 3 and a few 5 lbs. Tommorrow we will finish and be done for this season.
George did a test run on chicken butchering and chicken eating.
We have friends who are going to help us butcher at least 100 chickens in the morning!
So the next time everyone comes to visit- then we will have some chicken for dinner.
The chickens arrived yesterday at the post office.
Our learning curve is high.
Very cute! Cheep- cheep everywhere.
The prairie is in full beauty.
The chicken house is now done on the inside and as soon as it is dry we'll be stuccoing the outside and it is finished.
years with ranch remodeling projects.
We pray for everyone's safety and the least amount of damage.

Drake – If You're Reading This, It's Too Late: "Doesn't Get Better"
Posted on April 24, 2015 by jkurbanov
Artist: Drake
Album: If You're Reading This, It's Too Late
Label: OVO, Young Money, Cash Money, Republic, Aspire
By: Joseph Kurbanov
Well, it's quite astonishing that all 17 tracks on the album have made the billboard top 100; shows just how potent Drake is; that he puts on a full body of work and every song is like a single.
How exciting was the fact that it dropped out of nowhere. I remember scrolling through my Instagram feed and everybody's posting "if you're reading this, it's too late". I see the album cover like 50 times, go to iTunes, and there it is. It almost felt like it was my birthday (it was my birthday).
I would say Energy is one of my top three songs from this album. Drake's never been known to be one of the more "lyrical" rappers out there, but on songs like Energy, he comes up with new and innovative ways to thank his haters, to talk about them and how they helped him be successful. Now that's what all rappers do; they talk about their haters.
It doesn't get better than the beats on this album. I love the melody on Know Yourself: the fourth track on the album. It's such an anthem, with a hypnotic beat. Another notable song on the album is Company, featuring Travis Scott. I love the fact that Drake reached out to Travis Scott. He hasn't really hit the mainstream as hard as other rappers out there but his beats are awesome. Travis brought his style and his warm and deep synthesizers to this track and Drake's voice floats perfectly on it.
Every song on this album is memorable in its own way. Let's see what Drake has in store for his upcoming album…


Coffee. Java. Joe. We drink it black, as a latte, cappuccino, cold. We don't want to admit it, or maybe we do…but we are addicted to these beans. And….we all have a story of when the addiction began.
Just how I like it….keep the creamer coming!
I was anti-coffee most of my life. There was nothing thrilling to me about drinking something that is bitter and makes your teeth tan and brown. For years I watched my parents and friends guzzle cup after cup saying they HAD TO DRINK it; they told me it was a necessity. I am a tea drinker…blueberry tea, rooibos tea, vanilla tea, green tea…pretty much any tea I can get ahold of…except Earl Grey…I loathe Earl Grey. I was happy with my teas. I didn't need coffee in my life….a fact I was proud of.
I used to work as a bank teller. And banks….when you are all alone manning the front counter with no customers and the only available reading materials are The Banker's Digest (LOL) …it can get VERY BORING. I was that type of employee that got restless when there was nothing to do. I would start randomly cleaning things and then I decided one day to make it my personal mission to keep the coffee station immaculately cleaned and filled with condiments.
Grinding the coffee beans was my favorite part. The zoom of the grinding machine crushing the beans was music to my ears. The crushed coffee beans was music to my nose….I don't know if that works…but you get the picture. That smell is AWESOME. I could smell those grinds all day! I started to get curious…it had been ages since I tried the bitter stuff.
Finally, I decided to give in.
One especially boring day I grabbed a small white Styrofoam cup and poured the brown steaming liquid into it. Coffee was always entirely too bitter for me…and I cannot add sugar…so I decided to add a TON of creamer. By the time I was done pouring in the creamer my coffee was no longer brown…it was practically white. I took a teeny sip. Then I took another. It was actually kinda….GOOD. I was shocked. After that I started having a small cup of coffee…half creamer, half coffee nearly everyday at work. But I considered myself strickly a "social coffee drinker" because I could go days without drinking it and I drank it simply because I liked it.
Now…two years later and after trying Dunkin Donut's blueberry-flavored coffee I think I have become addicted. I cannot go on without a cup of coffee…like it is fueling my very brain cells. And I think I drink too much! It is so easy to write or read and guzzle down cup after cup and then you realized half the pot is empty! Recently I decided that I should cut back, switch to my old ways of tea drinking (which I still LOVE tea)… and spare my teeth the heartache of having to do whitening…(it is SOOO painful…my poor teeth!). I started to cut the caffeine a few days ago…and definitely had two cups of coffee today…so we'll see how that goes!
When was your first cup of coffee? When did you first become addicted to it's caffeinated powers?

There are three major components of the exercise, which ends Feb. 22: military field training, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief training. Its goals include "enhancing maritime security, preventing and mitigating emerging disease threats, and responding to large-scale natural disasters," a US statement said.
The ceremony was attended by Thai Chief of Defense Forces Gen. Pornpipat Benyasri and the commander of the US Army First Corps, Lt. Gen. Gary J. Volesky, representing the US Indo-Pacific Command.
"We have witnessed that this Thai-American initiative has become a significant milestone of military collaboration that has expanded to the regional level," a statement issued by the exercise quoted Pornpipat as saying.


If you've been reading our recent articles, you'll be aware by now that we base our investment philosophy on scientific criteria. This takes the guesswork and emotion out of it, and is proven to generate better results.
For most people (except Vulcans), emotions affect their investment decisions. For example, greed and fear play a role in driving stock markets.
In the words of Mr Spock from Star Trek: "it's not logical".
'Behavioural Finance' is the study of the psychology of financial decision-making. It notes that decision-making is hampered by biased behaviours. By becoming aware of these biases we can lessen their impact.
Here are the three most common biases according to Vanguard.
When people are asked whether or not they are a good driver, less than 50% say they are 'below average' – which is obviously impossible as it just doesn't add up.
Similarly, overconfident investors overestimate their ability to make good decisions. We say you must not get hung up on your gut feel about good investments. Instead, you should diversify.
Overconfident investors might trade too often. We say long-term investment is better than short-term.
