Q: Why is Eclipse not attaching 3rd party libs source files to a WTP-faceted Gradle project? The sources are downloaded in the Gradle cache and the classpath-entries for the source files looks ok, but Eclipse does not show the source files for 3rd party libs.

A: That's a weird behavior in Eclipse with the generated .classpath-file. Just put the 'Web App Libraries' entry at the bottom of your classpath file (-> Java Build Path -> Order and Export).
The best solution is to enhance your gradle.build file (then you don't need to reorder your build path each time you generate the classpath file via gradle):
...
eclipse.classpath.file {
    // Classpath entry for Eclipse which changes the order of classpathentries; otherwise no sources for 3rd party jars are shown
    withXml { xml ->
        def node = xml.asNode()
        node.remove( node.find { it.@path == 'org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.web.container' } )
        node.appendNode( 'classpathentry', [ kind: 'con', path: 'org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.web.container', exported: 'true'])
    }

The Duke of Edinburgh takes the salute at Sounding Retreat
The Duke of Edinburgh, Colonel-in-Chief of the Rifles takes the salute at Sounding Retreat on Horse Guards Parade.
For the first time in nearly 25 years, the Massed Bands and Bugles of the Rifles Sounded Retreat on Horse Guards Parade. Nearly 300 members of The Rifles were joined by 200 other servicemen and women from around the globe to perform a visual and musical spectacle to raise money for Care For Casualties.
The Duke of Edinburgh, Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles, took the salute as The Rifles performed a stirring range of military music. The Duke of Kent, Royal Colonel 1st Battalion, and Princess Alexandra, Royal Colonel 3rd Battalion, were also in attendance.
Sounding Retreat is an ancient military custom...this occasion is a tribute to all those of The Regiment who have been killed or injured on active operations in recent years
The Duke of Edinburgh, Colonel-in-Chief, The Rifles
Since 2007, The Rifles have been almost constantly on Operations, experiencing some of the fiercest fighting since the Second World War. Over 60 Riflemen have been killed in action and countless others have been severely wounded.
Many have lost limbs, been permanently blinded or require long-term neurological care as a result of their injuries. Care for Casualties raises funds so that The Rifles can meet the enduring needs of our casualties and members of the Regimental family in need, providing support and assistance whenever we are called upon to do so. Its vital work can be seen in more detail at www.careforcasualties.org.uk.

The Bling Ring Review
July 2, 2013 January 10, 2014 Gabriel Vogel
From People Magazine to E! News we as a culture are constantly inundated with the lives of our celebrities. It's almost frightening to what degree we essentially worship them. We want to know the names of their babies the minute they're born, and we lust after everything these stars and starlets have ever touched, be it cloths, cars, or beverages. They're lives seem so perfect and glamorous with their fast cars, designer clothes, and absurdly insane parties. I suppose in a world where Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga have more twitter followers than President Obama it's not surprising to read about a group of kids so desperate to live that lifestyle that they'd invade the houses of the very celebrities they fetishize.
The Bling Ring in many ways works as a glimpse into the minds of these celebrity obsessed youths. They've been raised on TMZ and Perez Hilton, and they want nothing more than to be another part of the stories they obsess over. Sophia Coppola is essentially showing us the logical extreme of this troubling fascination. Now, most times a filmmaker tries to do something like this it can seem shallow or condescending, but here it gains a real power as you realize everything in this film actually occurred. These people exist and they represent something really quite endemic in our culture.
In all honestly the greatest achievement here is the deft way in which Coppola handles her characters. She was able to both satirize them and their really quite frightening disregard of common moral guidelines and delve deeply into her subjects. Bling Ring laughs at these people but never thinks of them as jokes. There's a real effort made here to make them more than just caricatures of gossip obsessed teens. A good point of comparison would be Harmony Korin's film from earlier this year, Spring Breakers. While that film aimed for a very cold and disaffected atmosphere with its quite two dimensional characters, The Bling Ring went for something quite different and actually flesh out it's characters.
It seems a bit redundant at this point to talk about how freaking gorgeous a Sophia Coppola film is, but here I am doing it anyways. I mean, it's really sublime. The work the cinematographer, Harris Savides, and Coppola put into this film really shows. Through their brilliant direction they were able to capture the shallow horror of the celebrity obsessed lifestyle these characters live in, and create something quite amazing to behold.
In many ways these elements all meld into something of a horror story. It shows the terror of celebrity's magnetizing allure. The stars that we see on the silver screen or hear in our headphones are the beautiful and rich people through which we compare ourselves. They seem so perfect, having so much fun without a care in the world. Why aren't we like that? We're stuck here in our normal lives while they're living life at it's most glamorous: the designer clothes, the parties in Vegas, and the famous friends. This dream can act as something like a siren's call on us, whispering in our ear and driving us to do some really quite stupid and immoral things. It's a fascinating thing to behold and luckily Coppola was there to show it to us in all it's train wreak like glory.

"Earlier this year, I had the experience of my life. I took my three young kids on a flight from London to Singapore — alone.
My husband, Eugene, has a job in London, and we'd been living there as a family of five for the last three years. My youngest baby, Megan, who is 9 months old, was born there, and we wanted her to make her maiden trip to Singapore so we could introduce her to the family.
Years ago, Eugene and I decided that should an overseas stint come our way, we would give it a go. It would be something memorable for us to look back on when we were older. When the opportunity finally presented itself as a job in London, we'd jumped at it.
Since then, we had returned to Singapore for a visit every year-and-a-half. The previous flight we'd taken to Singapore was in 2014; Eugene and I had flown with our older two kids, Gillian, now 3, and Ryan, now 5. It wasn't too difficult when the ratio of adults to kids was 1:1. If you ask me, that should be the "functional ratio" when it comes to travelling with children.
Fast forward to 2016, and we now have three kids. As Eugene was unable to take that much time off work, I decided to make the trip with the children first, and he would join us later.
I opted for an evening flight that stretched through the night. I prayed really hard for safety. Sure, a solo flight with three kids was hard work, but that was something I could prepare myself for. But I was more worried about the aspects that I could not control, things like a terror attack at the airport or on the plane.
I had three large suitcases I needed to bring with us. Each weighed about 28kg. We also had a foldable stroller with us, and Gillian, Ryan and I carried a backpack each.
Click on to find out how the flight went!
We were prepping for a 12-hour flight, but truth be told, it wasn't just 12 hours. There was an additional 1.5-hour journey to Heathrow Airport, plus two hours of checking-in — not to mention the long walk to our departure gate. And when we got to Singapore, there would still be the 45-minute wait for our baggage!
The flight was packed, so we couldn't get seats altogether. The two older ones were seated an aisle away, but in the same row – that was acceptable to me.
There were several passengers giving me dirty looks. After all, they had paid good money to be on a flight, and no one would have wanted to be seated near babies or children who are usually associated with noise, whining, tears and vomit. Surprisingly, everyone was considerate and nice when they saw us! One air steward and at least two passengers approached us and asked me if I was travelling alone with three kids. From their expressions, they seemed more concerned than unhappy!
After boarding, the older children had problems putting on the children's earpieces for the in-flight entertainment. They tried using the adult earpieces, but they were uncomfortable. They started whining, but thankfully stopped when they realised that not much could be done. At that point, I realised that I could not accede to all their requests as it would be too much for me.
The next 10 hours went by in a blur. I made endless bathroom trips while carrying baby Megan. A stewardess offered help to carry her, but she only wanted me. I bent over countless times to select cartoons for the older ones. I ate my meals while carrying Megan with one arm. The children complained that they couldn't sleep, or be comfortable in their seats. I tried to stay positive, but there were moments where I felt a tinge of regret travelling alone with the three of them.
As we approached our destination, I said a prayer of thanks. Initially, I had planned to wait for everyone to clear the plane before we got up. But after the combination of exhaustion, desperation, excitement and claustrophobia, we couldn't wait to get off the plane. We were literally running towards baggage carousel.
Looking back, it was actually a successful plane ride with the kids. Megan was popular with the passengers, many of them saying what a cheerful baby she was. She cried, maybe, 5 or 10 minutes of the entire journey.
The older kids were pretty sensible and there were no tantrums. Gillian spilled one cup of water, and they ate most of the food served to them. All three managed to nap during the flight. I, too, managed to catch 40 winks, when two of the three of them were napping.
Lee shares her top tips for flying with kids. Read on!
If you want to fly with young kids, preparation is key.
Ryan brought along two robots. Gillian brought her doll. For Megan, I bought a mix of teething toys, shakers, and an interactive light-up toy. I knew I wouldn't have been able to help them with anything with small pieces and I wanted to make sure that I didn't lose anything on the plane.
Give them an idea of how long the journey will be, prior to the flight. We have a book about taking a plane trip and we read it together, while discussing what appropriate behaviour is expected.
Kids under 5 can wear pull-up pants, even if they've been toilet-trained. They could go to the bathroom when they are awake, but I really wanted to avoid any pee or poop accidents!
Always keep calm and be patient. If we are nervous or edgy, the kids can sense it and it may affect them negatively.
I have heard of parents "drugging" their kids with cough mixture to let them sleep on the flight. My paediatrician discouraged this vehemently as he said the drugs may actually have the opposite effect on them! We often travel with the kids, even when they are wide awake — kids are far more resilient than we give them credit for.
May Lee, 32, a stay-at-home mum to Megan, 9 months, Gillian, 3 and Ryan, 5, lives in London with her husband Eugene Yap, 37, a business manager. She blogs at TrulyinLove.

Q: Notify parent Entity when child Relationship Entity changes in Core Data Is it possible to receive a callback or notification in the parent Entity when any one it's relationship objects changes? This works great when an attribute of the Entity changes. The following method...
- (void)didChangeValueForKey:(NSString *)key
is invoked on my Entity subclass. However this method is not invoked when an attribute in one of the relationships changes.
What I'm trying to do is update the timeStamp attribute on my parent Entity when any one of its attributes or relationship objects changes.

A: The parent entity can set itself as an observer of the relationship and it will get notified when that relationship changes.  However that will only be fired when the actual relationship (adding or removing a child) occurs.
To watch for a specific child entity is far more tricky.  There are a couple of ways to go about it:

*

*Have the child ping the parent when its properties change.

*Have the parent listen for NSManagedObjectContextDidSaveNotification and look to see if any of its children are in that save

*Have the parent observe the values on the children.

There may be other solutions but of the three I recommend #2.  It is pretty easy to set up and the performance impact is pretty minimal.

A: In the other answer I found 1,2 and 3 too inefficient. Particularly 2 and the example in the "Parent Watching it's Child" blog post. My issue with that is every single parent had to respond to the context notification and essentially every object being saved if it is the child (never mind the fact ContextDidSave is more appropriate in that case!). Instead, I would propose an option 4:

*Have the child override didSave and broadcast a NSManagedObjectContextDidSaveNotification containing the parent.

My solution is more efficient and feels more object-oriented to me since the object that is changing is responding to its own change. To implement this, within the child object use:
-(void)didSave{
    [super didSave];
    // notify that the parent has changed.
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:NSManagedObjectContextObjectsDidChangeNotification
                                                        object:self.managedObjectContext
                                                      userInfo:@{NSUpdatedObjectsKey : [NSSet setWithObject:self.parent]}];;
}

To update the parent  timestamp, the following neat solution (second last post) I've been using might help, e.g. in the parent use:
- (void) awakeFromInsert
{
    [super awakeFromInsert];
    // set the default dates
    NSDate* date = [NSDate date];
    self.timestamp = date;
    //allow any future modifications to change the timestamp
    _finishedStartup = YES;
}

- (void) awakeFromFetch
{
    [super awakeFromFetch];
    // we should already have creation and modified dates.
    _finishedStartup = YES;
}

- (void) didChangeValueForKey: (NSString *) thisKey
{
    [super didChangeValueForKey: thisKey];

    if(![thisKey isEqualToString:@"timestamp"] && // prevent infinite loop
       ![self isFault] &&
       ![[[self managedObjectContext] undoManager] isUndoing] &&
       _finishedStartup) // ensures we arent being called by the object being loaded from fetched data.
    {
        self.timestamp = [NSDate date];
    }
}

The "Unspoken" Reason For Staying
by Chris Bodenner
Joe Klein spells it out:
The Pakistanis are absolutely convinced that if the U.S. leaves Afghanistan, India will jump in, supporting the non-Pashtun elements in the country.... Why is this a problem we should care about? Because India and Pakistan both have nuclear weapons. Because tensions between the two countries would escalate dramatically if we were to abandon the region. And, most important, because our departure would empower the more radical elements of the Pakistani military and intelligence services--not merely in their support of the Taliban, but also, potentially, in their ability to stage an Islamist coup d'etat. This is the worst scenario imaginable: a nuclear Pakistan, with allies of Osama Bin Laden controlling the trigger.
Greenwald pounces:
The U.S. government excels at finding brand new Urgent National Security Reasons to continue fighting wars once the original justifications fail or otherwise become inoperative: no more Al Qaeda in Afghanistan? Still have to stay, otherwise India and Pakistan will fight. As part of his stenography services, Klein explained:
[S]ome of the best arguments about why this war is necessary must go unspoken by the President.
So there are deeply compelling reasons to escalate in Afghanistan. But they're secret. They "must go unspoken by the President." The American people have no right to know what the alleged purposes and objectives are of this war. They're supposed to fight in it (a tiny percentage, anyway) and pay for it with massive debt but they can't be told why it's really being fought.

These 3 Diet Tweaks Can Enhance Your Metabolism & Support Longevity

There are more than a few markers to help gauge your own metabolic health status, like blood sugar levels, blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and more. One that hasn't received a ton of attention in the health care space is uric acid—but according to board-certified neurologist David Perlmutter, author of Drop Acid, it might just be the most important (and sneakiest) marker of all.
Uric acid is a waste product found in the blood, created when the body breaks down fructose and chemicals called purines. High levels of uric acid are commonly associated with joint tenderness and pain, but Perlmutter says high levels can affect your metabolic health at large. "Uric acid is a powerful mediator of metabolic mayhem," he says on this episode of the mindbodygreen podcast. Essentially, it tells the body to prepare for food and water scarcity—a fundamentally important survival mechanism but not so good when it happens consistently.
So to promote metabolic health, uric acid plays a crucial role. Here, Perlmutter shares his tips to balance your uric acid levels and, as a result, enhance your metabolism:
Lower fructose consumption.
The first step, says Perlmutter, is to dramatically limit fructose consumption. "Fructose is ultimately metabolized to form uric acid," he explains. That being said: "We've got to hang it up on the sugar."
Meaning, limit your intake of refined, artificial sweeteners and anything with "high-fructose" on the label. "Table sugar is 50% fructose," says Perlmutter, and high-fructose corn syrup contains at least 55% fructose. And that doesn't take into account the number of "pseudonyms" sugar goes by on food labels. "You read them and say, 'Well, I don't know what that is, but it's obviously not going to hurt me.' No, that's sugar, and it's time that we call it out," says Perlmutter.
You're probably wondering: What about fruit? Doesn't fruit contain a natural amount of fructose? Perlmutter certainly doesn't want you to demonize fruit, but he makes a case for a few special staples. "A moderate amount of fruit is not going to be threatening," he explains. In fact, some fruits contain important bioflavonoids that can actually help reduce uric acid (which we'll get into later). "Mangoes, unfortunately, have a lot of fructose," says Perlmutter, which is why he eats them in moderation (although, he has two mango trees in his yard, so he doesn't cut them out completely!).
Mix up your spices.
Ready for a not-so-fun fact? You can go completely fructose-free, with not a drop of fructose in your diet, and your body can still make fructose on its own. It's your body's own survival mechanism: "When signals that clue your body into thinking it's not going to have food tomorrow are activated, then you make fructose," says Perlmutter. One of those signals happens to be we aren't hydrating enough, which causes a high concentration of sodium. "We have mechanisms in the kidneys that sense when sodium levels are higher, then we start to convert blood sugar into fructose to make more body fat," explains Perlmutter.
That's why Perlmutter decided to cut back on salt-laden foods and table salt so that his sodium levels do not become too concentrated. "Once I began to understand how it was triggering me to make fructose and raise uric acid, [my added salt] went away." Now, he flavors his food with other fragrant spices, like black pepper, ginger, and turmeric. In fact, many of these have extra benefits for metabolic health.
Of course, you can always drink more water to keep your sodium levels balanced. "If you're going to eat a lot of salt, by all means, drink a lot of water. Then your serum sodium doesn't go up, and you don't turn on this pathway," says Perlmutter.
Get your fill of quercetin.
Remember when we talked about important bioflavonoids that can reduce uric acid? Well, here we are. According to Perlmutter, a specific enzyme in your body called xanthine oxidase helps develop uric acid. So if you target that enzyme, you can potentially block the formation of uric acid.
"Well, it turns out that you can target that enzyme really aggressively with quercetin," says Perlmutter. "One recent study from England showed that 22 young males with elevated uric acid had an 8% drop of uric acid in just two weeks1 by taking 500 milligrams of quercetin [per day]." Plenty of foods also contain the potent antioxidant (like apples, berries, and tomatoes), which is why Perlmutter doesn't say you should knock fruit completely—or you can find plenty of quercetin supplements with that targeted 500-milligram daily dose.*
According to Perlmutter, it's time we pay closer attention to uric acid levels in the name of your overall health. As a neurologist, Perlmutter is quite familiar with the link between metabolic and brain health2, which makes uric acid significant both for your metabolism and your longevity at large.

It seems strange, but there is a distinct lack of Vampire based video games. One, however, is on the way. Vampyr is a London set vampire game in which you are, surprise surprise, a Vampire. As a doctor freshly turned, you have vowed to save the lives of its citizens, yet must feed upon them to survive.
Yes, I admit, when I put it like that it does sound intriguing.
With the release, shortly due, the developer DONTNOT have officially announced the PC gaming specifications for the release. They have done so via the game official Steam page which you can check out here.
If you are interested in the game, you might now be wondering if you can run it. Well, here are both the minimum and recommended PC specifications.
Overall, I think they're rather pleasant. The recommended might seem to many to be a little high, but in truth, that is the level I think 'recommended' is currently at.
Vampyr is set to release on Steam on June the 5th. With a price of just over £40 for pre-order, this seems a little steep. Particularly when PC games are unusually less expensive than console.
I must admit though, the concept seems very interesting to me and if the execution is as good as the premise, this could be a top release for the summer.
What do you think? Interested in this game? What do you think about the system requirements? – Let us know in the comments!

Yogi Adityanath vows to bring stern law against love jihad
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday issue a stern warning to those waging love jihad and said they should either mend ways or be prepared for their funeral procession
APN Live
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday issue a stern warning to those waging love jihad and said they should either mend ways or be prepared for their funeral procession (ram naam satya yatra). While delivering a speech in Malhani (Jaunpur) where the bye-election for an assembly seat will be held on Tuesday, Yogi cited Allahabad's High Court order, which had stated that religious conversion for the purpose of the marriage was unacceptable.
Referring to religious conversion for marriage, the Uttar Pradesh chief minister said it should not be done or accepted. He added that the government was going to bring tough law to end love jihad. He said he was warning those who play with the honour of women to either mend their ways or be prepared for the last journey.

The Allahabad High Court had dismissed a writ petition filed by a married couple seeking police protection earlier this week. The court in the verdict said that religious conversion for the purpose of marriage was unacceptable. The court said that the Muslim woman n this case had converted to Hinduism just one month before getting married, which means the conversion took place only for the sake of marriage. While dismissing the petition the court referred to an earlier verdict in Noor Jahan Begum alias Anjali Mishra case of 2014 in which the court had observed that religious conversion was not acceptable only for the purpose of marriage. The court added that it was not inclined t interfere in the matter under Article 226 of the Constitution.

Conduct of these 'Shiva devotees' is nothing devotional by any stretch – plain thuggery. That they did this in the presence of cops speaks volumes of their brazenness. Such mobocracy should be dealt with zero tolerance.

The idol of lord Ram will be made of these Shaligram stone.
Shaligram stones brought to Ayodhya from Janakpur, a famous religious place in Nepal is being worshipped at the Ram Mandir. Former Deputy Prime Minister of Nepal worshiped the Mahant of Janaki Temple. After worshiping according to Vedic rituals, Shaligram Shila was handed over to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.
As soon as the Shaligram Yatra entered the highway late night, slogans of Jai Shri Ram started echoing. People showered flowers and there was a lot of fireworks. On reaching Ayodhya, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust General Secretary Champat Rai, Trustee Dr. Anil Mishra, outgoing Mayor Rishikesh Upadhyay and other BJP leaders welcomed the Shaligram by showering flowers.
For the unversed, along with the construction work of Ram temple in Ayodhya, the work of Ramlala's statue is also going on with a high pace. The idol of lord Ram will be made of these Shaligram stone. As per Hindu believes, as Shivling is considered as the form of Lord Shankar similarly, Shaligram is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
What is Shaligram?
According to science, Shaligram is a black colored ammonoid fossil, found in black, brown, white, grey, blue color and sometimes with golden glow. Shaligram is generally collected by the people from the banks of the holy river Gandaki of Hinduism and is the sacred name of Lord Vishnu. However, it is also known as Salgram, as per Hindu believes.
It is related to a village named Salgram. This village is situated on the banks of the Gandaki river in Nepal. Shaligram and Shivling are considered as deities of God. According to Puranas, only this Deity form of God should be worshipped. Apart from the Shivling form of Lord Shiva, there is only one temple of Shaligram in the whole world. Mostly in Hinduism, idols are worshipped, but before the idols, Lord Brahma was worshiped in the form of conch shell, Lord Shiva in the form of Shivling and Lord Vishnu in the form of Shaligram.
According to reports, there is a place Muktinath in Nepal. The only temple of Shaligram is present here. However, there are approximately 33 different types of Shaligrams. These 33 types are associated with the 24 incarnations of Lord Vishnu. It is said that all these 24 Shaligrams are related to the same number of Ekadashi fasts. According to the incarnations of God, the circular Shaligram is believed to be the Gopal form of Lord Vishnu.
Fish shaped Shaligram is considered as the incarnation of Matsya. The shape of the tortoise is considered to be the symbol of Kachhapa or Kurma avatar. On the other hand, the chakra that emerges in Shaligram or the Shaligram which has lines, is considered as the form of Shri Krishna.

Winemaker Notes
The Laughlin Family Vineyard Chardonnay has a full bouquet of aromas including fresh lychee fruit, mandarin orange, mangosteen, and fruit blossoms that carry from the intriguing nose to the lengthy tangerine oil finish.
Smooth-textured, with creamy spice, apple and pear notes and hazelnut and butterscotch hints. Turns sleek and elegant, ending with a long, complex finish.
L'Angevin Wines
It was a spring evening in 2001 -- Lesley Warner-Peirson and her husband Alan Peirson, as well as Robbie and Shannon Meyer, were enjoying a bottle of wine together, when their discussion turned to the future. They had all met at the Peter Michael Winery Estate, where Robbie was the Assistant Winemaker, and Alan and Lesley were the Winery Estate Managers. In classic fashion, the group came up with the name and logo for their brand, sketching it out on a cocktail napkin. Robbie's mother's family name was the obvious choice when they selected a name for their endeavor; the name L'Angevin could serendipitously be separated into the French words Ange (angel) and Vin (wine), resulting in "angel wine." That evening began the group's adventure together. In the Fall of 2001, they produced their first vintage, 300 cases of Russian River Valley Chardonnay.
Russian River Valley Wine
A standout region for its decidedly Californian take on Burgundian varieties, the Russian River Valley is named for the eponymous river that flows through it. While there are warm pockets of the AVA, it is mostly a cool-climate growing region thanks to breezes and fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean.
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reign supreme in Russian River, with the best examples demonstrating a unique combination of richness and restraint. The cool weather makes Russian River an ideal AVA for sparkling wine production, utilizing the aforementioned varieties. Zinfandel also performs exceptionally well here. Within the Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. The former, farther from the ocean, is relatively warm, with a focus on red and white Bordeaux varieties. The latter is the coolest, foggiest parcel of the Russian River Valley and is responsible for outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

, watching TV and reading it's tempting to get out into the garden on the first warm day and start planting. But remember that even though the weather feels warm to you, it may not be warm enough for your crops. Both soil and air temperatures have to be right for seedlings and transplants to get off to a good start.
Knowing what conditions your crops need will help you pick the best time to begin planting. Seed packets and seedling labels usually give general guidelines on the best planting times. You can plant some cold-tolerant crops, such as peas and lettuce, as soon as you can work the soil in the spring. Depending on your climate, this can be as early as late February or as late as early May. When your soil has thawed and dried out enough to be worked, start sowing or setting out transplants of these early crops.
Other crops need warmer soil for germination and good growth. For instance, you can plant bean seeds and squash transplants around the last frost date (the average date of the last spring frost in your area;). About 2 weeks after the last frost date for your area, you can plant tender crops such as corn, tomatoes, and melons. Be prepared to protect tender plants if weather reports predict a late frost.
There are a couple of exceptions to these general planting instructions. One is the West Coast, where soil may not be warm enough to plant summer crops, even though the danger of frost has passed. And in mountain areas, spring frosts may continue long after the soil temperature is adequate for planting.
Use a soil thermometer to accurately gauge soil temperature (you can buy soil thermometers at some garden centers or from mail-order garden-supply companies). Plant when the soil conditions are ideal. Then be prepared to protect your plantings if weather forecasters predict a cold spell.
Every plant needs a certain amount of sun and root space to develop and produce properly. Whether you plant in rows, hills, or beds, be sure to allow adequate spacing between seeds or transplants. Look for spacing guidelines on the seed packet or on the plant label if you're planting transplants that you bought at a garden center.
Where two different crops meet in rows, hills, or beds, you need to decide how close to plant them. Calculate this spacing by adding the correct distance between two plants of each crop and dividing it by two. For example, if lettuce should be 6 to 8 inches apart and broccoli 18 to 24 inches apart, then lettuce and broccoli should be 12 to 16 inches apart.
Sow in rows. Sowing seeds individually in rows allows you to walk between the rows to cultivate or tend individual plants. Large-scale growers prefer rows because they allow for the use of large equipment. Use the corner of a rake or hoe to open a shallow furrow. Drop individual seeds by hand into the prepared farrow at the proper spacing. To cover the seeds, pick up handfuls of soil and sift it through your fingers over the row. This will screen out stones, sticks, soil clumps, and other debris.
Sow in beds. By planting in beds rather than in rows, you can grow more plants in the same amount of space, because you don't have to allow for paths between rows. Set seeds or transplants evenly over the bed at the standard spacing. Large seeds – like peas, beans, and squash – are easy to plant individually at the correct spacing.
You may find it easier to broadcast smaller seeds. To broadcast, mark the area in the bed that you want to cover. Scatter the seed evenly over the prepared soil. Gently rake the seed in or cover it with soil to get the correct planting depth. Once you see the seedlings emerge, thin them as needed.
Sow in hills. With hill planting, you group three to five seeds or so together, then allow wide spaces between the groups. The "hills" aren't necessarily actual mounds, although planting on low mounds can improve drainage and reduce the chance of seed decay. Vining crops – like melons, squash, and pumpkins – are common choices for hill planting. Use rocks or stakes to lay out the spacing of your hills before you plant your seeds.
After you've covered the seeds with soil, pat the planted area with your fingers or the back of a rake to get good contact between the seed and the soil. Label the area, and water gently (so you don't wash the soil away). Keep the soil moist until you see stems and leaves popping out of the ground.
The same planting schemes that you use for seeds also work for planting transplants: rows, beds, or hills. Once you've prepared the soil, use stakes and string to mark rows or beds, or use pebbles to mark hills. Then set out the plants at the correct spacing. Dig a hole at least as wide and deep as the container in which the transplant is growing. Remove the transplant from its container by placing one ; hand over the soil, with the plant's stem between two fingers. Turn the plant over gently, and use your other hand to gently squeeze the rootball loose (from flexible containers like plastic six-packs) or to pull off a rigid container like a plastic pot. If the pot won't come off easily, tap it few times on a hard surface to loosen the rootball.
Set the transplant in the center of the hole. Steady the loosened rootball with one hand, and use your other hand to fill in the soil around it. Pat the soil down firmly around the base – but not too firmly. Some transplants, like lettuce, should be set at the same depth as they were growing in their container. Others, like tomatoes and cabbage, will do well if you dig a deeper hole and bury them up to their seed leaves (the first leaves that appear after germination).
Use your fingers to shape a low circular ridge a few inches out from the plant stem. This ridge will catch and hold water and direct it right to the plant's roots. Water as soon as you can after planting. Apply about 1 quart of water per plant.
Keep transplants well watered until you see new growth, then gradually cut back. If you plan to set in stakes or a trellis, do it soon after planting to avoid injuring growing roots.

Home Mammals Ferret
Before the prairies of the North American West were cultivated for farmland and turned into cattle pasture, ferrets would have been a common sight. The burrows that they and their prey made in the ground formed dangerous obstacles to grazing cattle and farm machinery, so the animals were methodically exterminated by pioneer farmers. Today the ferrets - the only species of ferret native to N. America - occur wild in just three places in Montana, S. Dakota and Wyoming (all reintroduced populations).
As well as having black feet, these ferrets have a black "mask " over their eyes. The underside of the body is covered in yellowish fur. Male black-footed ferrets are slightly larger than females.
The ferrets live on and under prairies that have short or medium-length grasses. Each ferret occupies about 40ha (100 acres) of prairie, in which it finds all its food, but a nursing mother needs two or three times this space. Black-footed ferrets take up residence in burrow systems abandoned by prairie dogs, their main food. In places where prairie dogs form large communal "towns", the ferrets may actually live among their prey.
The breeding season is in late spring. The young remain underground for a month after they are born. Mother and young forage together in late summer, generally at night, and by autumn the young begin to drift away. Males take no part in raising the young.
Distribution: Historically southern Canada to northern Mexico; today reintroduced populations exist in Montana, S. Dakota and Wyoming.
Habitat: Prairie.
Food: Mainly prairie dogs, along with some mice, ground squirrels and other small animals.
Size: 38 - 60 cm (15 - 23.5 in) 645 - 1.125g (22.75 - 39.75 oz).
Maturity: 1 year.
Breeding: Single litter of 1-6 young produced in early summer, after a gestation of 35 - 45 days.
Life span: 5 years.
Status: Endangered.

Nobody quite knows exactly where hummus first originated. It is commonly thought to have originated in the Middle East and historic texts start referring to it as early as the 13th Century in Egypt. I guess what really matters is that it's incredibly delicious stuff!
These days you will find it in most corners of the western world enjoyed by both health seekers and pretty much… well… most people. My son grew up on the stuff. As a super healthy vegan baby, it was one of his first foods. He's been a big fan ever since, always happy to reach for a pot of hummus when diving in the refrigerator or enjoying a falafel pitta bread, dripping with the stuff from his favourite 'Falafel King' food truck in the city.
Hummus is traditionally made with chickpeas, sesame seeds (usually in the form of tahini, which is a paste/butter made from the ground seeds), lemon, garlic, oil, and salt. The best recipes are balanced. The brand of tahini can make a massive difference to the final outcome of the dish. Most people prefer tahini that is well ground and creamy, hulled and without the bitterness. This varies from brand to brand.
In the UK, Suma, Essentials, Sunita and Cypressa do the best ones. Supermarket own brands are often nice too. You want your tahini to be creamy and delicious and be sure to get the light versions ('light' means it has been creamed without the husks). In the USA a friend put me onto Achva Organic Tahini which I can recommend for my North American readers.
In this post, I am sharing five absolutely delicious hummus recipes all with different and exciting additions. There is one for every occasion. I wonder which one your favourite will be?
Smoked paprika in hummus, takes this delicious dip to a whole new level!
It is made with a special variety of pepper – pimiento peppers. Once the peppers are dried, they are then smoked. Traditionally this is done over real wood like oak. The result is a unique and exciting, intense, smoky, sweet flavour! Just pop into the health food store and you should find some there. It works exceedingly well in this hummus.
Hemp is one of the most amazing plant foods that exists on our planet!
This recipe actually reminds me of traditional hummus, except of course it has a nutty, hemp seed twist. It lightens it a little and brings in the added benefit of hemp healthfulness. I give the recipe an extra infusion of lemon to tantalise the taste buds too.
In addition to regular hummus ingredients, this variation of the traditional version brings in the delightful sweetness of roasted sweet pepper.
In this recipe I was interested in creating a really appetizing version of hummus – one where the flavours alchemically combine to provide a wonderful infusion of deliciousness. So, I decided to roast the sweet pepper and garlic, since roasting certainly unleashes an incredible fullness of these flavoursome foods.
Beetroot hummus! It's the taste. It's the incredible nutritional profile. Oh my goodness – it's that colour!
When I make food for groups, it brings me a lot of joy to make sure there is a magical dance of colours on the table at lunch time. Nothing quite makes people go 'wow' like a big bowl of beetroot hummus.
This makes for an ideal hummus solution if you prefer a lighter dip in your daily cuisine.
Again, I am definitely deviating from tradition here by switching the ingredients around a little and also making sweet potato the star of the show! This recipe makes for an ideal hummus solution if you prefer fewer beans in your daily cuisine.
I hope you found something that you enjoyed here.
I love beetroot 🙂 and I usually include some grated carrot in it too.

Yeah, Montel Williams is a liberal former host of Airhead America, and has engaged in violent, sexist attacks against Michele Bachmann.
But even a liberal like Montel, who was a former Navy Lt. Commander, is spitting mad about what is going on at the VA.
This clip is from Fox News Neil Cavuto show.
Now, there are more calls for VA Secretary Shinseki to resign. But even Williams is right on that point. While Shinseki has the responsibility as the VA head, getting rid of him doesn't solve the problem. The problem is in the bureaucracy. That's the problem when you put your trust in government, and it's exactly why Obamacare should be feared, because this is a problem that will happen with Obamacare...bureaucrats decide healthcare.

Die NStB – Sternberg bis Meyerhöfen waren Dampflokomotiven der k.k. Nördlichen Staatsbahn (NStB).

Geschichte

Die elf Lokomotiven wurden 1845 von der Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik geliefert. Sie waren nach Vorbild der 2A-Lokomotiven von William Norris in Philadelphia gefertigt und hatten schräg liegende Zylinder, die sich oberhalb der erste Achse des vorderen Drehgestells befanden. Die NStB gab ihnen die Namen STERNBERG, HRADSCHIN, TRÜBAU, REICHENAU, OLMÜTZ, ALTSTADT, PRAG, BÖHMEN, KARLSTEIN, KÖNIGSSAAL sowie MEYERHÖFEN und die Betriebsnummern 11–21.
Die ersten vier hatten kleinere Treibräder als die folgenden Maschinen und damit auch ein geringeres Gewicht sowie einen geringeren Radstand.

Als 1855 die NStB an die Staats-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (StEG), eine private Eisenbahngesellschaft Österreich-Ungarns, verkauft wurde, erhielten die Maschinen die Betriebsnummern 12–22. Die Nummern 12–15 wurden 1858 an die Prager Eisenindustrie-Gesellschaft verkauft. Sie kamen fortan auf der Kladno-Nučicer Bahn (KND), einer Montanbahn bei Kladno, zum Einsatz.

Sowohl die Fahrzeuge der StEG, als auch die der Prager Eisenindustrie-Gesellschaft wurden in den 1860er-Jahren ausgesondert und verschrottet.

The Spanish Bourbon Kings of Naples
The house of Bourbon was a branch of the royal family of France. They ruled France from 1589, when Henry IV succeeded to the throne, until the monarchy was overthrown in 1848. When the sickly King Charles II of Spain died in 1700, at the young age of 38, he had no children to continue his family blood-line of the Spanish Habsburgs. Therefore in his Will he named his 16 year old grand-nephew Philip as his heir and successor. Philip, who bore the title of Duke of Anjou, was the grandson of Louis XIV, the Sun King.
Thus the Spanish branch of the House of Bourbon was founded by Philip V. However other European powers opposed the joining of the French and Spanish kingdoms. They saw it as an excellent opportunity for King Louis XIV to further expand his empire. The opposing forces formed a coalition and there followed the War of Spanish Succession which raged for many years. Finally in May 1712 Philip was granted possession of Spain, on the condition that he renounced any claim to the French throne.
Charles, the son of Philip V and was given the title of Duke of Parma and Piacenza in 1735. He conquered the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily in 1734. He was the first of the Spanish Bourbon Kings of Naples. He was crowned Charles VII of Naples on 3 July 1735. In 1759, on the death of his father he became Charles III of Spain. He left the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily to his son Ferdinand IV.
Emperor Napoleon
When this area was invaded by Napoleon's troops it found itself under French rule. This saw the abolishment of the feudal system. The Bourbon royal family fled to Sicily. Joseph Bonaparte, the brother of the emperor Napoleon, was sent to Naples to expel the Bourbons, and was crowned King of Naples by imperial decree. However Joseph only ruled Naples for two years as in 1808, Napoleon declared Joseph as King of Spain. Joachim Murat, Napoleon's brother-in-law, succeeded Joseph as King of Naples, however his rule was fleeting with the fall of Napoleon's empire in 1815.
The Bourbon Kingdom of Naples and the Two Sicilies
The Southern half of Italy then became the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and was the largest of the Italian states. Ferdinand IV returned to Naples and was crowned Ferdinand I King of the Two Sicilies. On his death in 1825 the crown was passed to his son who became Francis I of the Two Sicilies. He in turn was succeeded by Ferdinand II who ruled from 1830 to his death in 1859. The last king of the Neapolitan Bourbon dynasty was the son of Ferdinand II, namely Francis II. His reign was to be short lived.
Following the period of French rule and the reinstatement of the Bourbon king there was much unrest in Southern Italy. Many aristocrats and educated people wanted to see the end of being ruled by a foreign monarchy. There was a growing sense of nationalism and individual responsibility. A revolutionary movement strove to establish a unified kingdom of Italy and a more liberal and democratic government and society.
The Risorgemento
The main figures in the Risorgemento were the politician Giuseppe Mazzini, and his pupil Giuseppe Garibaldi who became a general and an excellent military strategist. However the third party was Count Camilo Cavor who was an aristocratic statesman and diplomat who finally achieved the unification of Italy by enlisting foreign help and intervention. The Kingdom of Sardinia was pressed to support the unification of Italy and it declared war against the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
The Kingdom of Sardinia was pressed to support the Risorgimento and the unification of Italy and it soon declared war against the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Garibaldi and his troop of volunteers landed in Sicily and successfully took control of the island. Garibaldi lead many more battles on the Italian mainland. On 1 October 1860 Garibaldi's troops defeated the Neapolitan royalists at the Battle of Volturno and he then headed onwards to successfully conquer Naples.
The Unification of Italy
Francis II and his family had been urged by his advisors to flee Naples and took refuge in the mighty fortress of Gaeta. There followed a long drawn out siege which lasted three months. Finally the siege gave way on the 13 February 1861. This resulted in the end of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the proclamation of the unified Kingdom of Italy. Victor Emmanuel II of the House of Savoy, was crowned the King of Italy on the 17th March 1861. He had formerly been the King of Sardinia.
He was succeeded by Umberto I who reigned from the 9th January 1878 to 29 July 1900. He was followed by Victor Emmanuel III who reigned from 29 July 1900 until his abdication on the 9th May 1946 in favor of his son Umberto II. Yet, Umberto II's reign was brief, it lasted just 34 days. On the 12th June 1946 Italy was declared a republic which resulted in the abolition of the monarchy.

Home The Latest Walker Violates Law Against Anti-Gay Discrimination
Walker Violates Law Against Anti-Gay Discrimination
by Rep. Mark Pocan
Just when you thought the leaders of FitzWalkerstan couldn't surprise you with any more wacky ideas, well, surprise!
I'm sure many of you have read the Governor's latest attempt to control free speech in the State Capitol. Note to the Governor: No matter how much you hate to be publicly criticized, the simple fact remains that the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment allows our citizens the right to assemble and to free speech.
But the even more interesting part of his 22-page document is buried on page 12, under "Section VI. Permit Decisions and Appeals, Item B." The new Wisconsin State Facilities Access Policy states, "Permits shall be granted for public events or exhibits without discrimination on the basis of age, race, creed, color, handicap, marital status, sex, national origin, ancestry, and arrest or conviction record."
Not included: "sexual orientation."
Wow, have times changed. Almost 30 years ago, Wisconsin was a leader in non-discrimination law when we became the first state in the country to included "sexual orientation" in the statutes after a Republican governor signed the legislation into law.
Now we have a governor flagrantly violating state law that he's supposed to uphold and ignoring Wisconsin's anti-discrimination statutes.
Taking the oath of office once meant something, but attacking our Constitution and not treating our residents fairly and equally have become hallmarks of FitzWalkerstan.
Wisconsin State Representative Mark Pocan (D-Madison), who coined the term FitzWalkerstan on the floor of the State Assembly, served three terms on the state's budget committee, including one as its co-chair. He also served as the vice-chair of the non-partisan National Council on State Legislature's Budget and Policy committee. Pocan's Assembly district includes both the State Capitol and the Governor's Mansion, making Governor Scott Walker his most infamous constituent.

Are Online Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Classes Right for You?
What does an online/hybrid certified nursing assistant (CNA) program entail?
A hybrid program is a program that consists of both online instruction and in-class instruction. This is very exciting because this type of program gives the student more flexibility. Hybrid programs allow students the opportunity to plan their study time around the rest of their day, instead of the other way around. Also, hybrid programs are a good option for students who need to balance their work and family commitments.
What is involved in the hybrid CNA Training Program?
The hybrid CNA training program is broken down into three different sections of coursework that is required for graduation. The first is the theory component. The theory component of the hybrid CNA training program consists of 40 hours, with the majority being completed online.
The second portion of the hybrid CNA training program is the laboratory component. The laboratory component consists of 35 hours and this training will be completed face-to-face in class. The student will learn basic nursing skills that include hygiene, grooming, nutrition, toileting, principles of infection control, taking of vital signs, how to safely lift, position and move patients and more.
The third and final component of the hybrid CNA training program is the clinical component and is comprised of 40 hours worth of training. This section will be completed in a nursing home, like all CNA training programs. During this clinical experience students will gain hands-on practical experience. You will also be under the guidance and supervision of a registered nurse.
Students interested in enrolling in the hybrid CNA training program will have to meet the minimum requirements needed for our traditional CNA program plus more. One additional requirement is having basic computer skills. Students will need to complete an online placement test using a computer to show basic computer skills. Another requirement is having access to a computer with reliable internet access. These two requirements are very crucial in determining one success in a program such as this because most of your assignments will be submitted or completed online.

Windows 11 is available today
Issy-les-Moulineaux, October 5, 2021 – Microsoft today announced the global availability of Windows 11, the most productive, collaborative and secure version of Windows to date. With a redesigned design and new built-in features, Windows 11 gives users a familiar, simplified, and personalized experience. A new era is dawning for the 1.3 billion Windows 10 users around the world.
At a time when our PCs play an increasingly central role in our professional and personal lives, Windows 11 was designed to facilitate hybrid work and bring us closer to what we love:
A redesigned "Start" menu to quickly access everything we need;
New "Layout Anchor", "Group Anchor" and "Desktops" functions to multitask while optimizing the space available on the screen;
Microsoft Teams directly integrated into the taskbar: it will be possible to connect instantly by chat, voice or video, anywhere, whatever platform or device you are on, under Windows, Android or iOS ;

In order to provide an optimal experience for users, the free update of Windows 11 is being carried out gradually from today with the aim that all eligible PCs will have the update by the next day. mid-2022. Windows 10 will still be fully supported in parallel until October 14, 2025.
The most recent eligible devices will be the first to benefit from Windows 11, followed by devices already on the market based on their hardware capabilities, age and other factors affecting the update.
Businesses can safely begin the pilot phase of deployment today by installing Windows 11 for all eligible PCs. More information on Windows 11 for professionals.
The "PC integrity check" tool to check the compatibility of your PC with Windows 11
The "PC Health Check" (or PC Health Check) allows the user to safely check if the Windows 11 upgrade is ready for their device.
All you have to do is open Windows Update settings (Settings> Update & security> Windows Update) and select "Check for updates". If the PC is eligible and the upgrade is ready, the download and install option will appear.
As part of a measured and phased approach to deployment, the upgrade will be offered through Windows Update when data shows the device is ready, to ensure the smoothest possible experience. If there is a problem with the device, such as an app incompatibility, a safeguard will be put in place and the upgrade will not be offered until the problem is resolved. If a PC is not compatible, the "PC Integrity Check" tool will tell the user what needs to be changed or modified to enjoy Windows 11 safely. More information on upgrading to Windows 11.
The most secure version of Windows
Windows 11 delivers unparalleled security with a design that leverages new technologies to provide end-to-end protection, from chip to cloud.

More information on security in Windows 11.
Tested: Does Windows 11 gaming performance?
Windows 11 nukes gaming execution by up to 28 percent! At any rate, that is one of the early takes repeating around the Internet as of now.
It's to a great extent dependent on testing done by PC Gamer's Dave James, which showed a gaming work area with an Intel tenth gen Core i7 and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti enduring definitely with VBS turned on.
VBS represents Virtualization Based Security and expands security on Windows 11 by making virtual security territories. It's a one of the necessities Microsoft has refered to for removing support for CPU's more seasoned than Intel's eighth gen, just as AMD's Ryzen 1000-series of CPUs. We've led our own VBS testing on a wide scope of processors to see Windows 11's potential exhibition sway, yet our underlying tests did exclude games.
