Argentina & Paraguay Custom Tour
Palatial, luxe, historic… One of the genuine joys of travel is discovering the delightfully eccentric and unexpected. Be prepared to be transported to another era as you step inside this bookstore. Yes, a place of books, but wait. You will be awed by this unique and delicious bookstore. This incredible edifice in Buenos Aires began life in 1919 as a beautiful theater designed by architects Peró and Torres Armengol. The astonishing interior is everything you'd expect in a once-lavish theater – gold gilt, red velvet curtains draped across a stage, architectural details including lovely murals on the domed ceiling. It simply must be one of the most glam settings for the thousands of books that crowd the shelves from the mezzanine to the upper balconies.

About Argentina & Paraguay
Buenos Aires: Buenos Aires, like most thriving metropolises, has something for everyone in its landscaped parks and gardens, football stadiums, restaurants, horse racing, golf courses and theaters. But Buenos Aires has one thing no other city has – the tango! Romantic, vigorous, and passionate, the tango is a product of the city where it was born. For those who fancy a turn on the dance floor, professional tango instructors offer lessons, and tango shows can be found in night clubs and at dinner shows. The city is a joy for shoppers with areas such as Florida Street, San Martin Plaza and in San Telmo, where antiques abound. The Italian Boca district, Palermo Park, and Recoleta Cemetery add to the city's charm. The city's rich cultural life includes the highest concentration of theaters in the world, in addition to museums related to history, fine arts, sacred art, arts and crafts, along with hundreds of bookstores and cultural associations.
Cafayate: The town is an important center for exploring the Calchaquíes Valleys, a central wine production area in the province of Salta. The wines produced here benefit from the low-humidity and mild weather. The most characteristic type of wine cultivated in the area is torrontes. The largest golf course in South America is currently being developed just outside the city center at La Estancia de Cafayate. The town was founded in 1840 at the site of a mission. In 1863, the Cafayate Department was created, of which Cafayate is the capital, and enjoys a laid-back rhythm, colonial style and a variety of wine cellars.
El Chalten: El Chalten is a small mountain village in Santa Cruz Province, and has become Argentina's national capital for trekking. It is surrounded by rivers and is within Los Glaciares National Park. It sits at the base of two mountains – Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitz Roy, both popular with trekkers and climbers. The village itself was only constructed in 1985 to help secure the disputed border with Chile. Today, it is a popular destination for adventure travelers.
Glaciers National Park & El Calafate: In 1927, El Calafate was founded as a place for wool traders, in hopes it would attract settlers. On the shores of Lake Argentino, the Patagonian village is an ideal base to explore Glaciers National Park, including the Perito Moreno Glacier. The massive ice wall of Perito Moreno carries on noisily splitting off great chunks that fall dramatically into the lake. Patagonia has a splendid array of outdoor activities such as bird watching, mountain biking, horseback riding and hiking.
Ibera Marshlands: Ibera is one of the most important fresh water reservoirs on the continent and the second-largest wetland in the world after the Pantanal in Brazil. It is home to caimans, capybaras, swamp deer, pampas deer, howler monkeys, giant otters, anacondas, greater rheas and hundreds of birds. The wetlands include more than 60 lakes. The nature reserve, founded in the year 1983, is 800 km/497 mi. north of Buenos Aires. Due to its mild climate and isolation, the Ibera Wetlands are an ornithologist's dream with more than 350 species of birds spotted in this virgin landscape.
Iguassu Falls: "Big Water" is a massive waterfall that falls in three countries: Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Multihued mist rises above the falls, and luxuriant flowers, ferns, tropical plants, butterflies and exotic birds thrive in this environment. From the Argentine side, visitors can see some 275 cascades tumbling into Devil's Gorge. The Rainforest Ecological Train ride ends at the gorge. Walkways and overlooks reward visitors with incredible views. The border between Brazil and Argentina runs through the Devil's Throat, with most of the falls on the Argentinian side.
Mendoza: Founded in 1561, Mendoza is brimming with history. A major road between Argentina and Chile runs through Mendoza, making it a frequent stop for climbers on their way to scale Mt. Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere. Mendoza enjoys an outdoor attitude with its proximity to the Andes. It is popular for sport enthusiasts interested in mountaineering, hiking, horseback riding, rafting, and, in winter, snow skiing. Two of the main industries are wine making and olive oil production. Argentina's wine-making traditions date back to the 16th century when a friar planted the first cuttings. Vineyards are planted at some of the highest altitudes in the world at an average of 600 to 1,100 m/1,970 to 3,610 ft.
Pampas: The great plains in the heartland recall the romance and daring of the South American cowboy culture. Argentine gauchos still work on traditional cattle ranches, known as estancias, in the Pampas. Some of these historic estancias have added luxurious accommodations for guests. Visitors can see the gauchos in action on horseback. The adventurous can also opt to join a cattle drive.
Valdes Peninsula: In Patagonia, the region is a site of global significance for the conservation of marine mammals. It is home to an important breeding population of the endangered southern right whale as well as for southern elephant seals and southern sea lions. The orcas in this area have developed a unique hunting strategy to adapt to local coastal conditions. They are known to beach themselves on shore to capture sea lions and elephant seals. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, most of the peninsula is barren land with some salt lakes. The largest of these lakes is at an elevation of about 40 m/131 ft. below sea level. The nearest large town is Puerto Madryn, but the only town on the peninsula is the small settlement of Puerto Piramides as well as several estancias. Most of the peninsula is barren land with some scattered salt lakes.
Salta & the Northwest: Salta, founded in 1582, boasts some of the nation's best-preserved colonial architecture. An ancient Inca road leads into the Humhuaca Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its hillsides are cast in horizontal bands of color – rust, yellow, and green for the minerals in the soil. The area is a repository of Indian culture, history, music, religion and art that can be glimpsed in Tilcara's archaeological museum and at an old Indian fortress. From November to March, Salta's countryside warrants a side trip with its picturesque villages, vineyards, and the rugged canyons of Cafayate. From April to October, the "Train to the Clouds" travels a thrilling zigzag route through mountain passes up to 3,810 m/12,500 ft.
San Carlos de Bariloche: Commonly called simply Bariloche, it rests on the shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake, with the Patagonian Steppe to the east and the rugged Andes to the west. In the heart of the Lake District, Cerro Catedral is one of the most important ski centers in South America. From this luxurious landscape, a satisfying menu of adventures includes skiing, fishing, nature hikes, mountain climbing and boating.
Tierra Del Fuego National Park: Ushuaia is the world's southernmost city, set on the banks of the Beagle Channel. The "Train at the End of the World" chugs through remote forests and snowy peaks to reach the dramatic Tierra del Fuego. A short cruise along the Beagle Channel visits the bird-rich Lobos Island.
Yacutinga Reserve: Sights and sounds of the jungle add to the experience of the primitive interior in Iguassu National Park. Reached only by boat on the Iguassu River, Yacutinga Wildlife Nature Reserve sits in the northernmost area of Misiones, a place of wide rivers, reddish clay soil, and subtropical weather. Local guides lead guests on excursions, while a resident biologist presents lectures about the fascinating world of the park's ecosystem and wildlife.
Asuncion: The first Europeans in the area were Spanish explorers in 1516. They founded the settlement of Asuncion in 1537. The city eventually became the center of a Spanish colonial province of Paraguay. Asuncion is the capital and largest city of Paraguay. The Paraguay River, the fifth largest river in South America, and the Bay of Asuncion in the northwest separate the city from the Occidental Region of Paraguay. Asuncion is one of the oldest cities in South America and the longest continually inhabited area in the Río de la Plata Basin. "The Mother of Cities," Asuncion was the staging area for colonial expeditions setting out to establish other cities, including the second founding of Buenos Aires and other cities including Villarrica, Corrientes, Santa Fe and Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Asuncion is the seat of the national government, principal port, and the chief industrial and cultural center of the country.
Eastern Paraguay: The indigenous Guaraní have lived in eastern Paraguay for at least a millennium before the Spanish arrived in the 16th century. This region has tropical and semi-tropical forests, interspersed with fields of high pastures and low hills. Its elevation slowly increases towards the Brazilian border and is watered by numerous rivers. There are two important lakes: Ypoa Lake and the well-known Ypacarai Lake. Eastern Paraguay runs from the Rio Paraguay east to the Rio Parana, creating the border with Brazil and Argentina. The eastern hills and mountains, an extension of a plateau in southern Brazil, dominate the region. They reach to about 700 m/2,297 ft. at their highest point. The Eastern Region also has spacious plains, broad valleys, and lowlands.
Encarnacion: The capital city of Itapua Department is the third largest city in Paraguay and sits on the western shore of the Parana River, opposite Posadas, Argentina. The cities are connected by the San Roque Gonzalez de Santa Cruz Bridge and the international train. Jesuit monks began arriving in Paraguay in the 1500s to convert the indigenous people to Christianity. The mission called Anunciacion de Itapua was founded by a Paraguayan Jesuit in 1615. The mission was relocated to the north side in the current location in 1703 under the name Encarncacion de Itapua. It gained importance after the railway arrived in 1894. With a mild climate, it is often called "Pearl of the South." The city is known for its wide beaches and waterfront boardwalk and the nearby Jesus and Trinidad Jesuit Ruins, UNECSO World Heritage Sites. Jesuit Missions of La Santisima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesus de Tavarangue are part of a collection of 30 missions in the Río de la Plata basin that were established by the Jesuits during the 17th and 18th centuries. Seven of these missions were in Paraguay with remainder in Argentina and Brazil. The missions were attached to settlements. While each period had a singular style, all combined indigenous elements with Christian attributes and symbolism, exhibiting Baroque, Romanesque and Greek influences.
The Chaco: It is a vast plain divided into two areas: Alto Chaco and Bajo Chaco. Alto Chaco is slightly higher than Bajo Chaco, and is renowned for its natural savannas and lagoons surrounded by forests and thorny vegetation. Bajo Chaco is bordered by the Paraguay and Pilcomayo rivers and is covered by endless palm groves. The area is being rapidly deforested. Consisting of more than 60% of Paraguay´s land area, it has less than 10% of the population, making this one of the most sparsely inhabited areas in South America. But it contains an abundance of wildlife. Larger animals include jaguar, ocelot, puma, tapir, giant armadillo, spiny anteater, various fox species, small wildcats, capybara and maned wolf. This is one of the last major refuges for the rhea, a large flightless South American bird. The region is home to many species fish, lizards, snakes, and at least six species of poisonous tree toads. The Chaco is also noted for its cultural, religious and economic diversity as well. The indigenous communities of the Gran Chaco maintain their cultures, particularly in the northern region, known as an ideal place to find fine crafts. A Mennonite settlement was founded by German-speaking Russian Mennonites who arrived from the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan in 1926. Other Mennonite settlements are Fernheim Colony and Neuland Colony.

What parents say about Children's Language Development Center
Our personalized pragmatic approach to speech and language therapy has produced some excellent results for children and their families. Here is a small sample of what parents have said:
Elissa has a great deal of experience treating children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and she really "gets" them. Her pragmatic language approach isn't like traditional speech therapy, and it has been very effective. Elissa has made me realize that speech is not about producing words but about thinking, understanding and using language effectively. Elissa has a lot of confidence in the kids and believes in their ability to learn language.
I do not have words for the impact you have made in our lives. We are so thankful for you and your talents. Our son would not be who he is if we had not met you seven and a half years ago.
The CLDC Connection Station Therapeutic Playgroup has been such a blessing to our family. This is a loving and supportive environment for children of all abilities. The teachers and therapists are kind and encouraging and bring out the best in each child through music, interactive play and therapy. Thank you for providing this opportunity for our children!
R.L.
Words cannot describe just how amazing our experience has been at CLDC! They are a wonderful team of people dedicated to the success of each child in every way. The office is very responsive, flexible and accommodating which is wonderful! They also make it a point to give parents the tools we need to help continue learning and progress at home, which I appreciate very much. Our therapist Tina is so kind, patient, caring and enthusiastic... you can tell that she truly enjoys what she does and is as happy with my son's success as I am! Tina goes beyond therapy and turns sessions into fun, interactive experiences with new creative activities at every session. My son loves to go so much! He looks forward to it every week!
Elissa is great with kids; she is gentle, patient and creative and my son is always excited about going to see her. Elissa also communicates well with parents. She helped us reach our son through play and gestures and she taught us the importance of things like variety and meaning. Our son's language has really improved since she started working with him.
My son (age 8) was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disease at birth and has been receiving multiple therapy services ever since. We switched to CLDC over a year ago, and we couldn't be more pleased with his progression!
After years of speech through ECI, PPCD, speech in school and private therapy, my son began resisting therapy. I found myself begging and/or bribing him to go twice a week. My son was miserable, and it made me feel terrible as a mom. A friend of mine told me about CLDC, and we decided to give it a try. I'm so happy we did! I can honestly say that my son has developed more speech this past year alone than in all of his 8 years of services combined. People are approaching me now that school has started again to tell me how much his speech has improved. For a mom, there's no better feeling in the world!
We appreciate all the love and help for our daughter. She is shinning more and more each day.
Connection Station Playgroup is a wonderful environment where children can explore, grow, and learn in a positive, trusting and always welcoming space. The program has helped my son focus on his strengths and has given him strategies and skills he uses in his daily life. The parent support has provided us with new ideas and guidance in steering us on the right course. The therapists knowledge and experience is evident in all interactions with the children. They are caring, compassionate, creative, and loving role models! We feel so lucky to have found CLDC Connection Station!
J.E.
Our son has been attending bi-weekly sessions with Ms. Tina for about 8 months now at CLDC. Our concern for him was his challenge in processing receptive and expressive language. Although he had been taking Speech therapy sessions at Baylor a couple of months prior, we felt he needed something a lot more specialized and targeted for his specific needs. Ms. Tina conducted a very thorough and broad evaluation of his speech and language abilities that really led to a better understanding of how not only she would work with him to address his challenges, but provided regular recommendations on how to reinforce the skills at home and school.
We have seen such a tremendous amount of growth in such a short period of time, and we are thrilled with our son's progress. He is now able to make more concrete connections to his learning, not only at school but at home, and he has become increasingly expressive in the way that he communicates with others. Ms. Tina has always made herself available for any additional help his school might need, and she provides great feedback after every session. Our son enjoys his sessions and really looks forward to attending which is a true testament to the therapist and the great work she does with him.
The staff at CLDC have never made me feel like my son is another diagnosis or just a service code to them. Our therapist Caroline has genuine interest in my son as a person and a natural rapport that can only come from loving what she does. The office is a warm environment designed for kids by professionals that are passionate about the population they serve. Not only are they knowledgeable about cutting edge services, they are always thinking outside of the box to make therapy fun and engaging for kids. They meet your child exactly where he/she is and develop services that specifically address his/her own needs.

Johnny Lavery
League 44 17
Shield 24 11
Date Of Birth: 24th Nov 1919
Place Of Birth: Belfast
Date Of Death: 30th Jan 1997
Place Of Death: Belfast
Position: IL
'Wee ' Johnny Lavery, of whom it was said 'he needed a ball all to himself', showed early promise in the Juvenile and later in the Minor Belfast Leagues with Mountcollyer. He was an automatic selection for the Northern Ireland Schoolboy International team and received a number of International caps.
A junior cap followed in 1936-37 and he made his Senior debut at the end of that season for Glentoran when still short of his 18th birthday, scoring against Ards in a City Cup fixture.
Over a 12-season span to 1947-48 he enthralled two sets of supporters with his ball skills and goal scoring, having two spells at Glentoran either side of a three-year stint at Oriel Park.
After five years with the Glens, he and team mate Frank Grice came to Dundalk for the 1941-42 year and played a major part in delivering the club's first FAI Cup win and then added the All-Ireland Inter City Cup. Playing at inside-left he won the hearts of Dundalk supporters from his first appearance at the annual pre-season trial and then proceeded to score in each of the four opening games.
On November 30th Artie Kelly scored all four goals in a 4-1 win over Brideville, equalling the club best in a League game. Not to be outdone, Johnny repeated the feat a month later in a 6-2 victory over Drumcondra. He was the match winner in the first two rounds of the FAI Cup and his 84th minute goal in the final killed off any hope that Cork United had of making a recovery.
If his goal scoring rate showed signs of decline in his last Dundalk season (8 from 30 appearances), he promptly demonstrated otherwise on his return to Glentoran, recording 17 goals from 24 games in 1944-45 and two seasons later improved further to 32 from 52 appearances.
However his nine Glentoran seasons were distinctly unrewarding in the matter of trophies—Belfast Celtic and Linfield were hoovering up everything—and Johnny finished with just two County Antrim Shields, winning in 1939-40 4-0 against Linfield (Charlie Tizard and Billy O'Neill were teammates) and in the following season when they overcame Distillery.
Somewhat appropriately, his last Glentoran goals came at Oriel Park when he scored twice against Shelbourne (May 1948) in a second round Inter City Cup play-off, scheduled for the neutral Oriel Park after the teams had tied 1-1 over two legs.
He was almost 29 years of age when he got the opportunity to sample the English League at the beginning of the 1948-49 year, starting with Bradford City (5 Appearances) before moving to Halifax Town where he scored once in 3 starts but by November he was back in Belfast, where he finished his career with Linfield.
Following Dundalk's 2-1 FAI Cup semi-final victory over Shelbourne in 1942 one newspaper account described his performance as follows:
"Old-time followers of Soccer had a laugh at the modern generation at Shelbourne Park on Saturday where their theory of of football—on the carpet—as exploited by Lavery, proved superior to modern methods. It was the perfect dribbling of this much-criticised player that produced both scores. A twist of his body, a flick of his foot, and the way was open for the opening score. With the full back completely beaten, he dribbled to the back-line and swung the ball across to Barlow who headed to the net. For the second score he picked up a pass from Leathem, and while the defenders waited for him to pass the ball to off-side colleagues, he coolly retained possession and finished to the net."

New Data: Teen Pregnancy, Abortion on the Rise.
A teenage girl holds a pregnancy test
Image Source / Corbis
Pregnancy rates among U.S. teenagers, which had been dropping since 1990, took an upturn in 2006, according to newly released data. The figures, obtained from government sources and abortion providers by the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive-health think tank, echo previous Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that births among teens had risen. But the new Guttmacher report rounds out the picture: in 2006, there were 71.5 pregnancies for every 1,000 women under the age of 20. That's 3% more than in 2005. The increase was concentrated among 18- and 19-year-olds — pregnancies among those 17 or younger rose only marginally — and occurred in a year when the number of abortions among teens rose 1%. (Read "Teen Pregnancy: An Epidemic in Foster Care.")
These upticks will no doubt be scrutinized by the schools, churches and governments that had been achieving some success in lowering the teen pregnancy rate. After rising steadily with the sexual revolution of the '70s and '80s, the rate dropped sharply in the '90s — and then more slowly from 2000 until 2005 — before turning upward. But even in 2006, the most recent year for which figures are available, the rate was 39% lower than 1990's peak of 117 pregnancies for every 1,000 teen girls. (See pictures of a diverse group of American teens.)
While the recent increase has been more marked in minority women, the rate of pregnancy over the long term has dropped more rapidly among black teens. In 2005, both black and non-white Hispanic teens had a pregnancy rate of just over 12%, down from 22% and 16%, respectively. (White teens have a pregnancy rate of about 4.4%, down from 8.7%.)
When it comes to abortion, the trend line has been heading downward among whites and Hispanic teens. In 1990, 43.9% of pregnant white teens terminated their pregnancies, according to the Guttmacher report. In 2006, 29.3% did. Among Hispanics, the rate dropped from 28.1% to 22.9% in the same period. But among black teens, the rate has not moved much in 15 years — holding steady at about 41%. (Read "How to Bring an End to the War Over Sex Ed.")
One of the innovations of the Guttmacher report is a state-by-state breakdown of pregnancy figures over the 17 years between 1988 and 2005. California, Hawaii and New Hampshire have been most successful in driving down their teen pregnancy rates, by 54%, 49% and 47%, respectively. But even at the other end of the scale, Arkansas, Iowa, North Dakota and Wyoming have all managed to lower their teen pregnancy rates by 25%.

This was such a fun place to eat for our daughter's birthday. The meal was great. The service was excellent! The manager was very helpful in accommodating a last minute request. We loved it!
I love the Melting Pot and I come every year around my birthday. Overall we had a very good experience. I felt a bit rushed which usually you are there for awhile. We did the Happy Hour menu so you get a salad, cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. I have come in the past with 2 people or 4 people and always felt that we had enough cheese fondue but you never have enough chocolate. This time there were 3 of us and there wasn't enough cheese. So I felt like they weren't giving you much more than for 2 people. I was a bit disappointed. We enjoyed our meal and I will come back. I hope they consider adding a bit more cheese so that you can feel like you got enough for each person in the party. It is a fun evening out and great food.
Love the food there but wish the portions were more fairly priced. Service is always great and the staff are friendly in general.
This has become a yearly tradition for our teenage daughter and her friends involved in the travel basketball league. It is our most favorite night of the year. Nothing could keep us away! Everything we've ever had has been nothing short of amazing. Our service has always be superior, with a wait staff that truly engages you in conversations and is very happy to serve their patrons, making sure our experience is divine every time!
Birthday celebration. Good experience. Juan Carlos our waiter was attentive to our needs.
Even with my embarrassing family, my birthday dinner was alot of fun and everything was delicious! Great service. Highly recommend to all.
It was the first time my husband and I have been to the Melting Pot. I have been in the restaurant Business for 18 years. This was such a fanatic experience thanks to such wonder staff, management and especially because our server Steve was excellent. There has not been many places where we have had exceptional service and a wonderful experience; but the Melting Pot at KOP and their staff and their server Steve were exactly that. We can not wait to go back! Thank you all for such a wonderful evening!! It is one that we will always remember!
Wow really enjoyed tonight. Kay the manager made sure we got our table even though we were stuck in traffic. Juan the waiter was excellent. Food was great. They really made us feel welcomed and we can wait to return!
Juan Carlos was absolutely anazing and he took myself and my girlfriend through a great experience!
We went for my son's birthday. We had a lot of fun. Juan Carlos our waiter was outstanding and did a great job of explaining the process to us. The food was good, very tasty. I think however that it is a little pricey for what you get. Not somewhere I would go on a regular occasion, but once or twice a year.
Visiting from Jacksonville Florida for family birthday dinner!!!
Server was great and moved the meal along nicely. Usually biggest downfall of going there is that it takes way to long to eat but not this time. Also, the grill is so much better than boiling your meat! We had 2 burners so we could still do one of each as some liked the seafood in the broth.
Our server was absolutely awesome! He took our order without ever writing anything down and he took the order of the next table and when the food came out everything my wife and I ordered was there!
All the meat was marinated, I prefer my meat unmarinated. That was my only complaint. The food though was awesome.
We had a very nice server, who catered to our needs. Minor issue at dinner with broken plate by server, that I felt should have been addressed by the manager since plate shards landed on my daughter.
We come here from time to time and it's always a great experience!
I would highly recommend the Melting Pot for any celebration. We went for a little girls birthday dinner, and she could not have been happier. The little details they thought of ahead of time. Simply amazing.
We were celebrating my birthday. The food was excellent, every course was thoroughly explained and beautifully executed. Our server Nick was the best, friendly, professional and very competent. I really enjoyed my birthday and plan to go back.
Outstanding food and service, always a great experience. Our waiter Juan made the evening great and the food was delicious.
Excellent food, excellent service, excellent time!
It's was great! Our server, nick, made us feel very comfortable and explained very wellhow the Melting Pot works to my friend who has never been there before.
This place is amazing. Our server Nick was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be going here again. Well done Melting Pot.
Great food, great service...always a good meal! Now they have an option to grill your own food!
We decided to come out to KOP all the way from New Jersey because although we live within walking distance of the Maple Shade, NJ location, that Maple Shade location has majorly gone down hill in all areas. We love the melting pot so much that we now make the drive to KOP. We were celebrating our engagement and our server Nick was AMAZING! He absolutely provided the absolute best experience for us and helped make our night special in celebration. We absolutely will continue to happily go only now we will always be asking for Nick! If you havent been, I highly recommend giving it a shot, and also make sure you request Nick, he absolutely crushes the server game will perfect execution and an excellent demenor and personality. He's the man.
It is an amazing experience! Th service was great, th food was quite tasty an th chocolate fondue is legit!!
Everything was fantastic, especially the food and our server, Nick!
Amazing as always!! Our favorite place to go celebrate and we've never been disappointed!!
Great service. Outstanding food and very pleasant experience.
Food & service were excellent! The manager stopped by twice to make sure everything was satisfactory. We were here for Restaurant Week in King of Prussia so it was also a great value.
My kids favorite restaurant. Took advantage of restaurant week. Always a good time.
Our waiter, Shirod, was extremely helpful and very professional. Made great suggestions!
Awesome experience as always for restaurant week. Our server was fabulous. Don't know his name but he made experience even more better.
We will be back next year again for restaurant week for sure !


Fighting the damaging effects caused to the facial skin from contaminants with which we come into daily contact, from stress and fatigue, is the best way to give your face a positive light and to feel calm and relaxed every day. The skin requires constant cleansing and hydration, but these actions must not harm the natural barrier of the epidermis or cause loss of water.
The first step towards skin repair is cleansing, followed by regeneration.
Skin cleansing is a complex process, which has to take the characteristics of the skin (biochemical and histological) into account. It is in fact known as the "fundamental cosmetic act".
A detergent must respect the epidermal barrier, facilitate its cleansing, and maintain its barrier function to prevent excessive water loss. It should not be a conventional "makeup remover", but cleanse gently and ensure the lipid barrier remains intact. All this must be followed by protection and restoration with a true beauty care action.
After a stressful day, smog and other pollutants, the detergent must relax and bring tranquillity (the skin must be soft, healthy and bright), while the restorer must allow all the repair processes to take place.
To cleanse and restore face, neck and shoulders.


This webinar will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various leak location methods for single and double lined systems.
The selection of the most appropriate leak location method depends on the specifics of the project and lining arrangements.
Is it a single or double lined system?
Is the geomembrane exposed or backfilled?
Is a permanent monitoring system appropriate?

Giuseppe Rossi (né le  à Teaneck dans le New Jersey aux États-Unis) est un footballeur international italien, qui joue au poste d'attaquant à la S.P.A.L.

Biographie

Débuts de carrière
Son père était entraîneur de football dans le New Jersey. Il quitte les États-Unis à l'âge de treize ans, avec sa famille, pour rejoindre le centre de formation de Parme. En , Parme, en difficultés financières, le cède à Manchester United pour  euros.

Évoluant à Manchester United lors de la saison 2005-2006, il ne joue que cinq matchs en étant 1 fois titulaire et 4 fois remplaçant (131 minutes de présence sur le terrain et un but marqué face à Sunderland). En FA Cup, il inscrit un doublé en  de finale.

Le , Giuseppe est prêté jusqu'en  à Newcastle. Non satisfait de son temps de jeu à Newcastle, Manchester décide de le prêter à Parme en . Il inscrit un but victorieux dès son premier match de Serie A.

Villarreal
À l'inter-saison de l'année 2007, son club, Manchester United le cède au club espagnol de Villarreal pour environ 10 millions d'euros. Giuseppe, après avoir sauvé de la relégation son club formateur de Parme en marquant 9 buts en 19 matchs de Serie A, découvre le championnat espagnol, sous les couleurs de Villarreal.

Il s'y fait remarquer en marquant des buts qui propulsent Villarreal à la deuxième place du championnat.

Durant le mercato, il est sollicité par de nombreux clubs italiens (Inter, Juventus...) mais décide de rester fidèle à Villarreal. Dans le même temps, il participe aux Jeux olympiques de Pékin avec l'équipe d'Italie olympique. Malgré l'élimination dès les quarts de finale de son pays contre la Belgique, Rossi s'illustre au sein de l'attaque italienne aux côtés de Sebastian Giovinco.

Le , il inscrit son  avec le maillot de Villarreal et égale le record du meilleur buteur de l'histoire du club Diego Forlán.

Le , il inscrit ses  et  avec le maillot de Villarreal et devient alors le meilleur buteur de l'histoire du club.

Mais l'attaquant international italien se blesse dès le  puis gravement le , et doit être opéré aux ligaments croisés du genou droit. Son retour à la compétition n'est alors prévu qu'en .

Fiorentina
Le , Giuseppe Rossi s'engage pour 11 millions d'euros à la Fiorentina. Il réalisera un de ses plus beaux match contre la Juventus de Turin. En effet, il fait chuter à lui seul la Juventus avec un triplé inscrit en quinze minutes, ce qui permettra au Fiorentini de remporter le match 4-2. Il finira cette saison   meilleur buteur avec 16 réalisations, juste derrière un certain Higuain.

Levante
Le , il est prêté pour 6 mois au Levante UD. Le club est relégué en deuxième division au terme de la saison.

Celta de Vigo
Le , Rossi rejoint le Celta de Vigo. Une nouvelle blessure au genou en  vient cependant entacher sa saison. Il n'aura joué que 18 matchs durant la saison 2016-2017. Son prêt prend fin ainsi que son contrat à la Fiorentina. Il se retrouve donc sans club.

Genoa

Real Salt Lake
Sans contrat depuis l'été 2018, Rossi signe au Real Salt Lake le 27 février 2020 après avoir participé au camp de pré-saison de la franchise américaine. L'option pour la saison 2021 de son contrat n'est cependant pas levée le 30 novembre et le joueur devient donc libre.

Sélection
Ayant une double nationalité (italienne et américaine), Rossi se voit offrir une place dans la sélection américaine pour la Coupe du monde 2006, qu'il refuse.

I am extremely happy with the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juicing Machine. I have wanted a Juicer for a very long time now, but the ones I fell in love with cost two hundred dollar or more. As a first time juicer, I wasn't sure I wanted to drop that kind of cash to have it collect dust in the cabinet. And, I didn't want a low quality cheap one, because I would hate to not get the most out of my produce when I juiced it. So, I landed on the Brevelle JE98XL Juicer, which retails for $200 but is often found priced at less.
The first thing I would like to mention is functionality – this thing is incredible! It easily pulverizes apples and larger fruits and vegetables, because it has a large chute. It also juices very, very quickly. This juicer has two settings, high and low, and it switches easily between the two for constant juicing. The Breville Juice Fountain Plus Juicer is quiet for its size. I expected it to be very loud and for it to vibrate around the counter top, but it didn't. It's noise level was very reasonable, and it did not so much as jiggle on the counter when I turned it on. This juicer is very sturdy and stable and produces less nose than you might expect.
Cleanup, it really is a breeze if you use a couple of tips. I highly suggest using a plastic baggy in the waste container (where you catch the pulp). It makes cleanup effortless and keeps the mess contained to the baggy. the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juicing Machine is dishwasher safe, which is excellent. Considering that this machine takes fruit and veggies, completely obliterates them, spins a gazillion times per minute, and separates juice and pulp from each other, clean up really is a snap. I've made more of a mess using a knife to slice and orange and having orange juice all over the place. The Breville JE98XL Juicer has a simple modern design, everything locks and unlocks really easily, and there are no difficult nooks and crannies to scrub. Easy cleanup is definitely at the top of my list of features for this juicer. Its cleanup definitely wont discourage you from using it like some other models I have researched, where the fresh juice didn't justify the insane cleanup process. Honestly, if you simply rinse the parts under hot water immediately after you use it, there is virtually no cleanup.
Bigger is better, right ladies? The Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus is big. I want to mention this because it is important that you know about the size of this Juicer. It's quite large, and I'm glad it is! If you live in a tiny one room apartment and hope to squeeze this in next to your hot-plate, this is not for you. However, if you have a little counter space to spare or a nice spot to store it while not in use, I do recommend this one. Like i mentioned before it makes quick work of apples and larger fruits and veggies. It is unlike other juicers with regards to its size and the chute is plenty big for everything you would need to run through it, without having to cut or chop first. It's big, it's luxurious, it fits well with any kitchen decor, is priced right, which makes it one of the best investments I have made. Remember this is not just an investment in a kitchen appliance, it's an investment in your health!
Now onto the price. This machine is a bargain, compared to the price of other juicers! It's bigger, more powerful, easier to clean, and will even look nicer sitting on your counter top. This Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juicing Machine does the exact same thing more expensive juicers boast about – all while blowing the less expensive juicers clear out of the water.

TVS NTorq 125 Fuel Economy Test - Can it Reach 50km/l Mark? [Video]
05/02/2021 - 11:00 | TVS NTorq, TVS Ntorq 125, TVS, Featured | Utkarsh
The TVS NTorq 125 is one of the best options available in the 125cc scooter segment. Its 124.8cc single-cylinder, 3-valve engine is capable of delivering 9.25bhp of max power at 7000rpm and 10.5Nm of peak torque at 5500rpm. The NTorq 125 is quite popular for its long list of features and peppy performance. But what about its fuel economy? Can it cover 50km in a litre of petrol? That's what this chap in the video below is trying to find out.
We can see in the video uploaded by YouTuber Suraj Verma that to conduct the TVS NTorq 125 fuel economy test, the rider has first ridden the scooter around the city to consume the remaining fuel in the tank. Once the two-wheeler runs out of petrol and shuts off, the rider fills the fuel tank with only a litre of fuel. He also resets the trip meter to measure the distance he would be able to cover in this quantity of petrol.

Unlike most of the scooters in which the fuel filler cap is located under the seat, the TVS NTorq 125 has an external fuel filler cap. It is really a handy feature to have which makes refuelling quick, more convenient, and hassle-free.
After filling up his NTorq 125 with a litre of fuel, the rider continues to ride the scooter. It is to be noted that he also has a pillion with him. The trip consists of various riding conditions such as open roads, city traffic, and some idling. Eventually, the fuel is exhausted and we've got a fuel economy figure. Based on the trip meter of the Ntorq 125's fully-digital instrument cluster, the scooter covered 41.4km in a litre of petrol.
So, the TVS NTorq 125 couldn't achieve the 50km/l mark, however, 41.4km to a litre (with a pillion) is indeed a good fuel economy. What's the fuel efficiency of your NTorq? Let us know in the comments below.

Our relationship to Beethoven is a deep and paradoxical one. For many musicians, he represents a kind of holy grail: His music has an intensity, rigor, and profundity which keep us in its thrall, and it is perhaps unequalled in the interpretive, technical, and even spiritual challenges it poses to performers. At the same time, Beethoven's music is casually familiar to millions of people who do not attend concerts or consider themselves musically inclined. Two hundred years after his death, he is everywhere in the culture, yet still represents its summit. This course takes an inside-out look at the 32 piano sonatas from the point of view of a performer. Each lecture will focus on one sonata and an aspect of Beethoven's music exemplified by it. (These might include: the relationship between Beethoven the pianist and Beethoven the composer; the critical role improvisation plays in his highly structured music; his mixing of extremely refined music with rougher elements; and the often surprising ways in which the events of his life influenced his compositional process and the character of the music he was writing.) The course will feature some analysis and historical background, but its perspective is that of a player, not a musicologist. Its main aim is to explore and demystify the work of the performer, even while embracing the eternal mystery of Beethoven's music itself. This season's Curtis courses are sponsored by Linda Richardson in loving memory of her husband, Dr. Paul Richardson. The Dolfinger-McMahon Foundation supports Curtis's lifelong learning initiatives.

How Things Were
To examine the relationship Beethoven had with the piano sonata, we begin by looking at its origins. In this lecture, we will discuss the role of music generally, and of the sonata specifically, in the time of Haydn and Mozart. This lecture will also provide an introduction to the form of the sonata—to the psychological effect sonata structure has on the listener. This background will be necessary to appreciate the innovations Beethoven introduces.

The First Thirteen
Beethoven's work has traditionally been divided into three or four periods. This is problematic, for various reasons, but the first 13 of the 32 sonatas do, in a sense, form a unit. This lecture will focus on Sonata No. 4, Op. 7, which is the largest and altogether one of the most impressive of the early works. Topics will include Beethoven's use of the piano and the use of the sonata as a "vehicle" for the pianist, the ways in which this and other early sonatas conform to the model established by Haydn and Mozart and the ways in which they do not, and the foreshadowing of the fixations of the later years, while holding, at least on the surface, to the conventions of the time.

New Paths
Beethoven's conception of the sonata was perpetually in flux, but the year 1801 is a particularly experimental one. The four sonatas Op. 26 through 28 (Nos. 14 through 17, chronologically) feature the most concrete innovations among the sonatas written up to that point, and are the focus of this lecture. There will be discussion of the relationship between the movements in a classical sonata, and the radical shift it begins to undergo at this point. We will also examine the ways in which these sonatas were influential to future generations of composers, which the earlier works, great as they are, were not. As a special feature for this lecture, a recording by a current Curtis student of the first movement of Op. 28 will be available on Curtis Performs.

Rhomberg Rail Australia made its presence well and truly known at this year's AusRAIL PLUS Conference and Exhibition held in Brisbane, Queenslan, 21-23 November 2017. With an impressive stand that not only displayed the IVES and RhoFAS technology but also a range of service offerings through a large-scale video screen, Rhomberg Rail stood out amongst other exhibitors.
Rhomberg Rail's stand incorporated the actual concrete sleepers, base plates, Vossloh clips, and rail (colourfully painted in RSRG colours) that make up our IVES technology. The RhoFAS equipment was then fixed to the slab track display as it would be on a project site. This real-life approach drew a lot of attention and piqued the interest of all who pass the stand.
This was a particularly special year for Rhomberg Rail at AusRAIL because it was the first time three generations of the Rhomberg family attended. Walter-Heinz, Hubert and Alexander Rhomberg were able to spend time at the stand interacting with staff and meeting with clients. Having this senior representation at the event further bolsters the company reputation as it makes efforts to penetrate the major projects space in Australia.
AusRAIL PLUS was a total success, with numerous connections made and opportunities for future work established. Thanks to all of those who worked so hard to make this such a success!

Thread: Gini Wijnaldum: We have to strike back
LFC.tv
Georginio Wijnaldum and Liverpool are determined to channel the frustration of defeat to Napoli positively by 'striking back' this week.
The Reds will play their final friendly of the summer, versus Lyon in Geneva, on Wednesday prior to Sunday's FA Community Shield clash with Manchester City at Wembley.
Jürgen Klopp's squad - including the returning Alisson Becker, Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri - arrived in Evian for a pre-season training camp on Monday, and Wijnaldum has outlined their eagerness to put the weekend's 3-0 loss to Napoli behind them.
"That's what we have to do," Wijnaldum told Liverpoolfc.com, when asked if he was confident the Reds would put things right in the days leading up to the City game.
"It's all about making minutes as much as possible, but also to get the results. The season already starts [on Sunday] so the result and the performance, it's important for us to get confidence and to keep on going. This is painful but we have to learn from it and we have to strike back."
First-half goals by Lorenzo Insigne and Arkadiusz Milik put Carlo Ancelotti's team 2-0 to the good at the break in Edinburgh on Sunday, with Amin Younes then adding a third soon after the restart.
It was, Wijnaldum admitted, a 'painful' afternoon at Murrayfield.
The midfielder continued: "It was not our best game. I think it was a real poor performance from the team, the things that we normally do right with pressing, playing football [and] creating chances we didn't do and they were quite good.*
"The chances that they had they scored. Most of them were because we made mistakes and they just took the chances that they had.
"We play the games to win the games but unfortunately we didn't win them. Especially if you play like [against Napoli] it's really painful to lose the game because normally we are quite good with the pressing and creating chances and playing football, but we were not 100 per cent concentrated.*
"We didn't do it as a team, we made too many mistakes and they took the chances that they had. If you play a good game but you lose it's different, especially in pre-season, but if you lose a game like this it's painful."

Jaguar E-type Factory and Private Competition Cars
See Quarto Drives Blogs
Follow Quarto Drives on:
Author: Peter Griffiths
Format: Hardback, 224 Pages
Publisher: Veloce Publishing
The racing E-type Jaguar emerged from the ambition of both the racing fraternity and Jaguar enthusiasts who wanted to take this iconic British sports car onto the track to see what it would do. With official (and sometimes unofficial) help from the factory, the E-type was continually developed and modified from almost the first week that the first production car left the factory. Recognized the world over, this beautiful aerodynamic car remains as popular today as it was in the 1960s.
Jaguar E-type in Competition features period photographs and stories from the E-type's early racing days, describes how the cars evolved, and gives details of the lightweights, semi-lightweights and factory specials, the Le Mans cars, the Modsports era, and the replica lightweight racing phenomena. The detailed appendices include lists of cars and drivers, book and magazine references. As the only book in its field to cover every aspect of the E-type's competitive history from 1961 until the present day, the author redresses the balance to detail the 95% of cars usually overlooked. The reader will find hundreds of previously unseen photographs and new information, providing an invaluable source of material for anyone interested in this incredible sports car.
Peter Griffiths is a retired chartered accountant with a lifelong passion for Jaguar motorcars - especially the E-type. He had his first Jaguar at the age of 18 and has owned nearly every model since, including several racing E-types. He was the treasurer/director of the Jaguar Drivers Club in the 1980s, as well as acting on the events and social committee, and E-type register. He served as a race official at many Jaguar Club race meetings, and has written several articles for The Jaguar Enthusiast Magazine, making him well-positioned to know first-hand the cars he has written about in this book.

1912 Bugatti 5-Liter
In the early days of auto making, more powerful cars usually meant considerably more weight. From his base in Molsheim, France, Ettore Bugatti set out to make a trimmed-down performance car to stop the trend. To prove his point, the car was let loose on the race track where it fulfilled its destiny as a winner. ...


Weight reduction has all the time been a priority with individuals dealing with weight problems. This concern turns into severe in terms of strategies used for shedding weight. So deciding the weight-reduction plan payments and dietary dietary supplements for weight reduction turns into a troublesome to resolve evaluation. Broadly a lot of the fat burners might be divided in to 2 main classes when it comes to type i.e. over-the-counter capsules and prescription capsules. By way of perform these once more might be divided in to a few classes i.e. fats burners, fats blockers or urge for food reducers and pure dietary supplements.
It's a identified undeniable fact that the most secure and best technique to reside a wholesome life is to eat balanced weight-reduction plan, steady bodily exercise and routine together with affordable degree of relaxation on daily basis. Weight loss supplements provide a brief reduce to all this. Nevertheless, it is vitally vital to grasp what is nice and the way they work to realize that good. As it will not be wiser to achieve one factor and lose many.
It has been all the time an issue which weight-reduction plan capsule is efficient over whom. Annexing this controversy is the confusion which arises as a consequence of monumental variety of fastidiously ready commercials and plenty of on-line sources all claiming to be efficient and greatest. Nevertheless, the information are completely different. In relation to prescription fat burners or dietary supplements, one cannot ignore the unwanted effects that normally vary from nausea, diarrhea and even oily recognizing or stool. However if one decides to decide on over-the-counter weight-reduction plan methods, as soon as once more drawback of efficacy arises. As a lot of the methods really don't show to do what they're really claiming. Not solely this, a lot of the claims within the case of over-the-counter weight-reduction plan methods should not backed by confirmed medical research.
One other concern arises with the pure or natural substances. Simply by claiming that an ingredient is pure or just that an ingredient is pure doesn't essentially implies that it's protected. A identified instance is Ephdera or ma hold which have been thought-about greatest weight reduction capsules till Federal Drug Company investigated this ingredient and came upon that it's harmful to our nervous system and coronary heart. However it was not earlier than a number of instances of loss of life instances.
Now if we contemplate these capsules when it comes to their practical elements, fats burners work by breaking fat and changing them in to fats cells that are burned by the muscle tissues as they enter blood stream. Whereas, urge for food suppressants work by inhibiting or controlling the lipase enzymes within the physique that stimulates our want for meals and thus accumulation of fat.
Conclusively, it's all the time higher to decide on product that's well-known and have confirmed efficacy with a lot of group. As a result of, it's your physique that's to take all of the stress and nothing is best than a wholesome physique.
In case you are in search of extra data relating to fat burners and dietary dietary supplements then I'd suggest you to go to Weigth Loss Articles website.

Thank you to Mark Isfeld Secondary School who donated to YANA in honour of Jack Boan's huge effort and achievement in reciting over 1,000 digits of Pi.
Valley Vonka is not only bringing some big excitement to town this spring but it is raising funds for You Are Not Alone (YANA).
The common denominator in community fundraising is the desire to support local families who need to travel for the medical care of a child under 19 or a pregnant mother.
One of these families is the Wallace family. Claire Wallace was born with an arm and hand that didn't move and despite the hopes of doctors and her parents the condition did not improve with time.
By the time Claire was six it was determined that a major surgery was needed and YANA was able to assist the family during their stay in Vancouver and has been able to support their subsequent follow-up visits.
Coincidentally, Claire's grandmother has worked alongside Marshall for the past twelve years at Hot Chocolates.
Big thanks to Thrifty Foods for helping YANA acknowledge the important work of YANA volunteers and a shout-out to Tracy Bono for winning the volunteer draw at the 2018 Big Love Benefit! Volunteers are integral to the success of our gala!
We are so impressed! Jack Boan recited 1,130 digits of pi in a packed Isfeld lobby on March 14 and inspired many pledges to YANA. Thank-you Jack!
Sincere thanks to Courtenay Family Chiropractic for their generous donation to YANA provided through their spinal health education sessions. Your efforts are very much appreciated!
Thank you to big-hearted brew master, Brad Harris, to all of the volunteers who labelled Royston Nano Brew's Love Potion IPA and to Gladstone's for hosting the fun.
Our gratitude to the staff at Shoreline Orthodontics who recently donated their jeans day funds to YANA.
Happy belated birthday to Pierce Gerritsen. We appreciate that you share your birthday money with YANA! You are a great kid!
Any day is better with a little pie.
Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to diameter, an irrational number that never ends. 'Pi Day' is celebrated each year on March 14 or 3.14, the first digits of pi.
Since first grade Boan has been memorizing the digits of pi and reciting them on Pi Day. Several years ago he started using the occasion to fundraise for YANA (You Are Not Alone).
The 13-year-old Grade 8 Mark Isfeld student will be at it again next Wednesday, all in the name of YANA.
Last year Boan memorized 808 digits of Pi and raised more than $1,000 for YANA.
He's hoping to improve on both counts this year.
To pledge Boan you can donate to YANA directly at https://www.yanacomoxvalley.com/donate/ (mention Pi Day in the notes) or through the YANA office.
Nationally ranked with his official count of 808, Boan is the sixth-ranked Canadian on the Pi World Ranking List.
The top Canadian is Chun Wang, who recited 8,148 digits of pi on Pi Day last year.
The world record holder is Suresh Kumar Sharma of India, who recited 70,030 digits of pi on Oct. 21, 2015. It took him 17 hours and 14 minutes to complete his recital.
Boan is ranked 166th worldwide.


Explore the Sierras in September - October when the fall colours are at their best as the trees make their transition towards the winter. For travel in the early months of the year, make sure to jump on a boat and head out to sea to watch the whales as they migrate.
The "Golden State" of California is renowned for its glorious weather, stunning coastline and extensive wine regions. Home to the vibrant cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco, this rich culture and beautiful landscape offers wide variety to visitors and is a year round destination.
Yosemite National Park is considered by most to be the most special park in the state. With dramatic granite cliffs, towering waterfalls and giant sequoia groves, it is a hotspot for outdoor enthusiasts with over 95% of the park designated as wilderness areas.
The west coast of California is lined with white sandy beaches and the getaway havens of Santa Barbara, Monterey and Carmel, small towns where you can enjoy the coastline. From the pristine coastline and warm waters of the south to the rugged coastline in the north, there are spectacular areas throughout the region to be explored whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a family adventure.
California is a superb destination for birding with its diverse habitat of ocean, wetlands, lakes and rivers attracting numerous migratory birdlife with many travelling thousands of miles in the summer to escape the cold climate in South America. Wetland, shore and tropical birds are all visitors to this region with even Bald Eagles making an appearance during the winter months.
California is fortunate to have a warm year round climate making most months great for travel. The shoulder seasons are great to escape the busy times for the parks and enjoy the quiet roads and in the autumn, the Sierras are especially wonderful with the fall colours in full display.
Southern California is a great place to escape the winter blues in the early months of the year with warm temperatures and sunny clear days.
Birding can be enjoyed year round with each season attracting a different migratory pattern. Wetland birds are usually more abundant from October through May, in the late spring it is common to see tropical birds in the San Gabriel Mountains and large migrations can also be seen in Joshua Tree at this time.


Rahim, Rahmani and Shengnan, Han and Yuhong, Li and Zhuo, Hu (2018) A Time-Scaling Data Generation Method For Internet of Things Simulation. In: Seventh International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communication and Information Technology - CCIT 2018, 27-28 October, 2018, Rome, Italy.
Simulation plays an important role on studing the Internet of Things (IoT) traffic, which has an increasing impact on network infrastructures.The existing simulation tools and mechanisms on IoT mainly focus on simulating large-scale deployment of IoT and heterogeneous IoT applications. This paper concentrates on how to simulate the lengthy, burthty and multi-level time-scale IoT applications quickly. A time-scale data generation (TSDG) method is proposed to reduce the used simulation time of different IoT scenarios while keeping the real world characteristics of the IoT applications. Implementations of TSDG in ns-3 and simulation experiments of smart home and smart shopping centre are described in the paper. The evaluations results show that the proposed TSDG method can effectively reduce the time used to simulation IoT applications in ns-3 while reflect the IoT application traffic in the real world.


I'm doing some work for a company that uses what it describes as "wiki code" or "wiki formatting tags" for formatting.
It also uses !/!/!!! for headers, two underscores on each end for bold text, and apostrophes on either side of the text for italics. There are various others but these are the main ones I expect to use.
The work (basically, questions to answer) I get is all in text format and because they often use tables they can be hard to read. I wonder whether anyone knows of any sort of Markdown-style live-previewer that might interpret these tags (mainly the tables) and render them correctly so I can read the information more easily? If not I think I should be able to throw together a Shortcut to do it, but it would good to have something live because I also have to write answers to these questions which may include tables—and it would be nice to be able to see what I am doing.
Well, if you do a find and replace of || with |, theoretically pasting the tables into numbers should either auto detect the pipe as a separator, or if not let you choose it from a list. I'm sure you can hack this not quite markdown to markdown, but if you can find out which wiki they're using maybe a local install and pasting would be fastest with the best results.
Tableflip? macOS but it's made for working with Markdown tables quickly.
If you have an existing set-up for working with another format (e.g. Markdown with a live preview - e.g. in app or using Marked on Mac), then perhaps consider working in that as your master copy and then generating the specific wiki syntax from that.
Much of the Markdown use as a base format is based around doing exactly that. You start with your basic Markdown content and then run it through a converter to produce your HTML, PDF, Word document, slide deck, etc.
If you started with say multi-markdown or another flavour supporting tables that it should then mainly be a case of a set of find and replace, perhaps with some careful use of regular expressions?
Thanks all. I think in the end I will create a shortcut to quickly show the existing info in a table, possibly sharing into Evernote since that seems to work in some quick testing.
Generating new tables is not so bad since they are usually quite basic and I will know what I have done—the site I am working on does have a preview function—though I think I will be working in some other text editor because the site itself is pretty ugly and only leaves a small space to actually work in—it will be fine for a last-minute check to make sure everything is okay.


I get passionate about having the opportunity to meet new people everyday. The joy of that just makes me smile.
I get a lot of my inspiration from Pinterest! I also follow celebrity hair stylists to see what is happening on the Hollywood scene!
What do you like most about working at Savvy?
I think what I like the absolute most about working here is the education we receive so that we can keep up with the always changing styles. Fashion never stops and neither does the education at Savvy.


Juan Mata insists derailing Liverpool 's title tilt is not Manchester United 's main motivation as they look to seal a "very special" win this weekend.
Hours before the Carabao Cup final takes place in the capital, Old Trafford arguably plays host to an even more hotly-anticipated clash on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool won 3-1 in December's meeting between these old foes - a result that brought an end to Jose Mourinho 's tumultuous reign and set United on course for an exciting new chapter.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's in-form side have risen up to fourth in the table and Mata says the focus is on strengthening that position rather than looking to throw Jurgen Klopp 's title-challenging Reds off kilter at this crucial stage of the season.
"We see it in a different way, which is we're trying to stay in these top four positions," the Spaniard said.
"We got there after a very good run in the last months. Honestly it felt quite difficult to do it, if you asked me two months ago.
"But we are there now, and we want to keep that position by winning, and obviously we'll have to play against Liverpool and Manchester City , and both are fighting for the title with Tottenham , so let's see what happens.
Mata has enjoyed his fair share of clashes against Liverpool, with the highlight to date being his brace as Louis van Gaal oversaw a 2-1 victory at Anfield in March 2015.
"Since I arrived in Manchester, I felt this was the big game," the United midfielder told the club's website.
"Liverpool-United, United-Liverpool - everyone is waiting for those derbies, and you can feel it in the build-up to the game.
"During the week, everyone is speaking about it, everyone is thinking about it. We will try to make it very special.
"Obviously when you win and you're in a good run of results, everyone is happier. It gives you more confidence to play even better.
Liverpool are sure to prove a hard nut to crack at Old Trafford. Klopp's side drew 0-0 with Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek and have lost just one Premier League game all season.
They have scored in every league away game to date, but Mata believes the Old Trafford faithful can help them overcome their bitter rivals.
"We want to have not only 11, but 75,000 playing and trying to score on Sunday, and I'm sure they will help us," Mata said, having heard the away support take over Stamford Bridge during Monday's 2-0 FA Cup fifth-round win against Chelsea .
"I'm sure they will push us for the win and I have to say that the atmosphere at Old Trafford in the last few weeks has been incredible.
"They're happy. They come and they're getting results.

I could barely wait to write a tutorial about the ornaments I just made today. I've seen rag ball bowl fillers before, but I've never tried making one into an ornament until now.
I finally gave it a shot today, and I am so excited about how they turned out THATICANBARELYSTANDIT.
I think it's because not only are they cute, but they were so easy, and they are a totally perfect way to use up your extra fabric that is otherwise possibly building up in baskets and shoe boxes and behind couch pillows, slowly and methodically taking over your house.
fabric – I used a natural muslin fabric for one of my ornaments, and a pin-striped linen for the other.
U Pin (you can find these in the floral aisle at craft stores or even at Walmart, or online, right HERE).
anything else you'd like to embellish them with…I've been on a button kick for the last few days, so I went with that.
At the end of your fabric, make several small cuts about an inch apart from each other. Cut into the side of the fabric that is going with the grain.
Now, tear the fabric the rest of the way into strips. You want about 8 strips, 11 or 12″ long.
Now just glue a strip around the ball, cutting off any excess where the ends meet.
Originally this was all I was going to do. But I wanted to make them a little less "country" and a little more "shabby", so I glued on a button…and I thought the metal would look awesome in contrast with the natural texture of the fabric. And it does!
And then I made a second one. This is dress apparel linen…how cool is that? I also added a pearl tipped pin and a shiny mirrored button.
You can almost see my horrible orange snoopy shirt in the reflection of that button. I should maybe think about using my dress apparel linen to make…apparel…instead of ornaments…maybe.
Glitz, glamour and even cutesy are words I associate with the colorful baubles of this Season. Yet, the simple country charm of these creations are inviting. Looking forward to the next design.
I did a little happy dance in my chair! I love those ornaments!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Love it! It certainly helps us less creatively crafty girls the chance to let people think we know what were doing when we follow one of your simple DIY's.
Thank you! So glad you like the DIY's!
FINALLY – a way to use my old (OLD) styrofoam satin string ornaments!!! I can't wait to give this a try . . . . Great idea!
Awesome! Have fun making them!
I love all of your ideas and cant wait to try some myself!!-Excited- I love ornaments anyway but some of these u have could be left to hang somewhere all year long. Thanks so much for sharing!!
