Teacup pig refers to the pigs having small size. This is not any specific breed of pig, but any pig having small size is termed as 'Teacup Pig'. These miniature pigs are sold by many breeders who specialize in bringing the variety of tiny pigs having a nano appearance. These pets can be easily kept at home and don't grow too big. Their appearance never goes too large and the full size depends on their parents (in most cases). This is the reason for breeders to keep the picture of the parents of these pigs to show to customers while making a deal to sell them.
Any teacup pig can be trained easily and you can do it yourself by giving some time to your pet on daily basis. It is always advisable to make purchase of the pets from a trusted breeder because once you have purchased the pet; it should come up as suggested by your seller. There are many laws initiated for the acquisition of pets and legal actions can be taken if the seller has sold you the wrong pig. There are National and International collaborations made for purchase of these pigs and you don't have to worry about making the right choice, if you are associated with a trusted dealer.
Teacup pigs can really add to feeling of joy in your life. You should know about their habits and care for them very well during initial stages. Once they grow up, they become a little independent; but you will have to give them time, so that they don't get bored up. If you are working, it is always good to keep duo of Teacup pigs to give them a companion for playing. They should be fed on proper time and appropriate diet should be given because these creatures go obese very soon.
Take a chance and get a Teacup Pig soon..!!

In addition to all the other systemic changes we are making directly to the Rune system, we've also worked on making some quality of life improvements all around. The following will also release with the rest of the Rune changes already discussed.
1) All non-Set rune recipes have had their basic Rune Fragment material costs reduced by 1.
2) Salvaging has seen a complete overhaul. The existing Salvaging loot tables were not very clear or organized, which caused salvaging to be extremely hit or miss depending on the item type, level, and quality. We want the choice between selling an item and salvaging it to be that, a choice. In order to get there, the changes we have made should increase the value of salvaging, especially items of Excellent (blue) quality and higher.
We (and by 'we' I mean my team member, Marc Chang) have expanded the Salvaging tables to include new items and certain items in higher quantities than before. Junk and basic crafting materials should remain about the same. However, you should see more Rune materials (both Fragments and Elemental Signs) and Power Cores. We've also added the chance to get a full completed Rune from salvaging (both Basic Runes and Set Runes).
With the combination of Weakened Runes for leveling gear, the ability to reroll Element types, the ability to add additional Rune slots to gear, the standardization of Rune Slot counts, the increased availability of stats and Rune Sets across more Element types, reduced costs of basic Runes, and the increase of both Rune materials and completed Runes from salvaging, we are aiming to make the Rune system a more integral part of your play experience from level 15 to end-game.

Kemba Walker piled on the points with a franchise-record 60 points in a loss to Philly, while the Lakers and Warriors both came up short on the road.
Saturday night produced plenty of quality NBA action, with a massive 10-game slate, producing some marquee matchups bigger highlights.
Jimmy Butler stood up down the stretch for the Philadelphia 76ers, coming up with two big plays to seal the win for Philly.
With the scores tied at 119-119, Butler produced huge block on Kemba Walker, saving the ball to set up his game-winning moment.
On the following posession, Butler pulled up for a dagger three-pointer with 0.3 seconds remaining to give Philly the win and spoil Kemba Walker's big night.
Walker exploded for a Hornets franchise-record 60 POINTS, seven rebounds, four assists and four steals, shooting a red-hot 21-of-34 from the field, going 6-of-14 from three.
Three-pointers, jump shots, layups....Kemba Walker gave the 76ers all of it, finding a variety of ways to pile on the points.
The Los Angeles Lakers got their three-game road trip off to a slow start, going down to the Orlando Magic 130-117.
Coming off a great win against the Blazers at home on Thursday (AEDT), the Lakers struggled to keep pace with the Magic who outscored them 75-50 through the second and third quarters, to take control of the game.
LeBron James led the Lakers with 22 points, seven assists and four rebounds, while Brandon Ingram had 17 points. The rest of the other Lakers starters struggled on offence, with the second unit of Lance Stephenson (19 points), Josh Hart (13), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (10) and Svi Mykhailiuk (8) keeping the Lakers in the contest.
Nikola Vucevic was the star man for the Magic, with 36 points, 13 rebounds and two steals, while D.J. Augustine recorded 22 points and seven assists.
Don't look now, but the Dallas Mavericks have won four straight games.
Luka Doncic led the way with 24 points, nine rebounds and eight assists including two clutch free throws with seven seconds remaining to give the Mavs a four-point lead and put the game out of reach.
Doncic got things going for the Mavericks early on with 12 points in the first quarter. He had 14 at the half but Kevin Durant's 18 first-half points gave the Warriors a two-point lead going into halftime. Durant stayed hot with 11 points in the third quarter, bringing him to 29 points going into the final frame with a four-point lead. His ice-cold fourth quarter (1-for-7 shooting) wasn't enough to get the job done for the Warriors, falling 112-109 to the Mavericks.
Harrison Barnes played his part with 23 points and DeAndre Jordan added a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds to bring the Mavericks to 7-8 on the season. The Warriors have now lost three out of their last four games and are 12-5 on the season.
An intriguing stat to take away from Doncic's performance so far: the last two players with as many points, rebounds and assists as Doncic has through 15 career games - Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson.

Q: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tokenize' So I tried to start a Django project called 'tokenize' (using django-admin startproject tokenize) and it gave me the below error -

Command Error: 'tokenize' conflicts with the name of an existing Python module and cannot be used as a project name. Please try another name.

I then deleted all of my tokenize.py files from my computer and it's now giving me this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tokenize'

I searched everywhere and can't find out how to fix this issue. I know I screwed up but any assistance is appreciated.

A: tokenize is a standard python library that is probably extensively used by other parts of python. You need to reinstall Python, probably after uninstalling your current installation.
It almost goes without saying, but you have to call your new project something else.

A: tokenize is python standard library which you can read here :-
https://docs.python.org/3/library/tokenize.html

The tokenize module provides a lexical scanner for Python source code, implemented in Python. The scanner in this module returns comments as tokens as well, making it useful for implementing "pretty-printers", including colorizers for on-screen displays.

In order to fix your issue first of all you need to uninstall python and reinstall python on your machine. Then change your project name (tokenige) and run below command :-
django-admin startproject tokenige

Future of Church: Measuring the "Effectiveness" of a Hybrid Ministry
Your church's top two success measures likely involve attendees and donations, or, to be a bit crass, "butts and bucks."
Don't believe me? Check out your congregation's annual report. Notice the data on attendance/membership. Notice the data on giving. See any other graphs? See any other numbers? Most likely, you do not.
Finances and attendance have long been the indicators of an "effective" ministry because they provide a proxy for "growth." If both numbers are going up and to the right, we have a growing ministry, and by the standards of the capitalist West, that's a good thing, right?
There's only one problem: donations are down. Attendance is down. Giving will continue to dwindle (thanks in part to the Trump tax law), membership will continue to fall. Sure, some churches will manage to be a temporary outlier. They'll find a way to increase their attendance, and drive up their giving - but this will come at the expense of other neighborhood churches. As Nona Jones tells us in her book on social media ministry, their success will be the demise of other congregations in their hometown.
If you're a member of the clergy, do yourself and your church leadership a favor: divest yourself of these success measures. They'll only wear you down, they'll only demoralize your community. These are the success measures of the "Christendom" church, when our surrounding culture created Christians for us, when the American way meant attendance in a building at a set time each and every week. These measures cannot guide us into the church's future. But what can?
If the future of church is to be a strategic blend of the online and the offline, with the objectives of collaborative service and faith formation, then attendance and giving are relatively meaningless. They can help to plan a budget document, but aren't much good beyond that. After all, how can you extrapolate an intent to live a life of faithful service from a stack of dollar bills? How can you find a commitment to missional collaboration by tracking the quantity butts on a bench?
It's clear that the future of church needs a replacement set of "success" indicators, "KPIs," or measurement tactics. For those who are curious what could replace revenue and retention, I would offer the following suggestion: the future of the church is about extending an invitation, then equipping for service. The future of the church is about creating a culture of collaboration so that all can participate in God's global mission. To that end, we have to arrive at a set of measures that somehow quantify inviting, equipping, and collaborating.
In a digital age church, inviting, equipping, and collaborating happen in a hybrid of the virtual and the face-to-face, through a blurring of distinctions between the online and the offline. To measure the effectiveness of the hybrid church, then, we must start by understanding the extent to which the online and the offline can be integrated in the life of a faith community. There are three concepts that allow us to do just that: coverage, quality, and connection.
Coverage measures the breadth of digital integration within a church community. For every act of service, for every act of worship, and for every conversation, there needs to be a digital invitation. Coverage, then, is measured by the percentage of church happenings that could be simultaneously accessed both online and offline. Was a worship service livestreamed? Then it met the requirement for coverage. Did a board meeting have a Zoom link? Then it has coverage. Coverage happens when we make an intentional effort to invite collaboration, especially collaboration that takes place through a screen.
Quality analyzes the depth of digital integration. For every opportunity to connect digitally, we need to understand whether the connection was seamless and easy. Quality is a subjective measure of integration, displayed on a sliding scale of low to high-quality experiences. If a worship service was livestreamed, but the camera was at the back of the sanctuary and the audio was patchy, the quality was low. If a Bible Study provided a conference call dial-in, and used a Jabra or USB microphone to improve the audio quality for those joining remotely, the quality was high. Quality happens when we focus on hospitality, on treating those who join our life together through technology as equal collaborators in the mission we share.
Finally, connection looks at the degree to which technology was actually used. Connection is a quantitative measure that resembles but is not synonymous with attendance. For every piece of blog content we created in support of a sermon series, how many read it? For every sermon we posted to Wistia, how many watched? Connection-based metrics, which look at raw engagement metrics, are still useful in the hybrid church, because they can tell us where our digital invitations are going unseen. If we find that our digital presence is going unnoticed, we might find that we have some further work to do in defining who we are called to be, and what we are called to do, in this digital age.
These three concepts have at their core three questions. In everything we do as church:
Did we make digital collaboration possible?
Did we do everything to make digital collaboration a high-quality experience?
And did anyone actually participate digitally?
We can learn a great deal from these questions. They can help us to live into our new normal, to reimagine Christian community in a digital age. But they can't help us if we continue to ask the old questions. They can't help us if they go unasked.
Hybrid ministry in an eventual new normal will be quite different from the church we experienced in February 2020. Accordingly, we need to measure "effectiveness" differently. In doing so, we might just find that what we're after as church has nothing do with "effectiveness," and everything to do with service: collaborative, inclusive service, open to all, in response to God's eternal call.
Book Review: From Social Media to Social Ministry, by Nona Jones
If you manage a church social media account, chances are, you run the account like a digital bulletin board.
And if that's the approach you take, posting information, linking to events, and using the platform to inform, you're missing the point of social media. So argues Nona Jones in her book, "From Social Media to Social Ministry" (Zondervan, 2020. $18.99).
Jones, who serves as the Head of Global Faith-Based Partnerships at Facebook, argues convincingly that faith leaders are not using social media to it's fullest potential. We're using social media for advertising, but not for equipping, for marketing, but not for ministry.
By relying on one-way communication, tracking the wrong metrics, and delegating account management to unqualified staff, churches are losing out on the opportunity to create disciples in digital spaces.
"While a social media plan primarily focuses on sharing content to get likes, comments, and shares, a social ministry strategy focuses on building relationships and facilitating connections between and among people so that discipleship can happen."
-Nona Jones, "From Social Media to Social Ministry"
For Jones, social media generally and Facebook, in particular, offer a potential remedy to a decline in church attendance and membership. A commitment to ministry on social media would certainly be better for the church than other widespread "relevance-boosting" practices, including removing crosses and Bibles from church buildings and improving production quality!
To that end, Jones encourages to think about social media not as a bulletin board, but as a campus. She argues that a faith community's Facebook page ought to function as a ministry start-up, with a campus pastor, a team of equipped and compensated staff, new content published daily, and a commitment to multi-directional conversation. Jones is correct in her assertion that social ministry depends less on polish and more on leadership, less on quality and more on intentionality.
Available now wherever books are sold
The book is an important contribution in helping churches to think of the web not as a place to post an invitation to attend worship, but as a mission field, where church leaders establish relationships and form disciples for lives of faithful service.
Jones' well-reasoned argument is limited in part by her assertion that Facebook is "the only true social media platform." Arguing that Facebook is the only platform to support multi-directional conversation as opposed to mere content consumption, Jones' model dismisses the importance and relevance of Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and others. While it's true that Facebook is far and away the most utilized social media platform, it's influence is waning amongst younger generations, necessitating consideration if not engagement with emerging digital channels. At a practical level, I would have appreciated hearing Jones' suggestions for low-tech, low-staff churches who may not have the resources to navigate an increasingly fractured (if not fractious!) social media landscape.
The book also decides to veer away from the thornier issues surrounding Facebook and other social media platforms. As a handbook to social media usage in the church, the book would have benefitted from a discussion on the numerous ethical and privacy concerns surrounding social media giants, including the commodification of user data and the easy dissemination of conspiracy theories.
Still, "From Social Media to Social Ministry" offers an important lesson for church leaders of all denominational backgrounds and theological commitments. If the church is to be relevant (or, resonant) in this digital age, it must learn how to build relationships and engage in thoughtful conversations within these spaces. This will require a long process of learning and iteration. Jones' book is a helpful first step towards the church's digital future.

Learning to Unplug: Why Less Technology Creates More Impact in a Hybrid Church
Church leadership circles are becoming apprehensive about the time demands of hybrid ministry. This is, of course, to be expected. While this season of prolonged physical distancing showed us how to be the church online, it hasn't taught us how to be the church online and offline, virtual and in-person, at the exact same time.
Beginning in March 2020, we've been learning that we can be a virtual preacher, and that we can be a videographer, but not all at once. We've been discovering that can be an online facilitator, and that we can be a digital content creator, but not simultaneously.
The closing of church buildings during the pandemic has allowed to live in to many different roles. Still, it's unlikely we would have learned to use all this technology if we were still attending to busy Sunday mornings, complicated volunteer schedules, and the logistics of worshipping in a building filled with dozens or hundreds of people.
So what will it look like when we reach an eventual new normal, when buildings begin to re-open? Will we find a way to balance the time demands of digital ministry with the realities of leading our faith communities face to face? Or will the allure of face to face connection cause a retreat from virtual spaces?
Recognizing that those entrusted to us live in an online world and that this online world is replete with explorations of faith and spirituality, we would be wise to not unplug completely. But without additional staff headcount, without new budget allocations for IT support or worship production, we'll need to be selective about where we spend our time.
Hybrid ministry, then, is a process of selective unplugging, of using the technologies that are most important at forming our communities for lives of faithful service.
I'm a technology enthusiast, a former Google employee whose view of technology is rosier and more optimistic than some. But even I know that even the best technology has its limits. That's why I'm such a believer in Cal Newport's work on Digital Minimalism, the philosophy that reminds us to only use the technologies that align with our purposes. To Newport and other digital minimalists, technology is a resource in service to our values, we ourselves are not tools in service to technology!
"Digital Minimalism A philosophy of technology use in which you focus your online time on a small number of carefully selected and optimized activities that strongly support things you value, and then happily miss out on everything else."
― Cal Newport, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World
As church, our purpose in the digital age is to gather and equip Christians for lives of faithful service and shared discipleship. The most dynamic hybrid faith communities will thus use technology that gathers, technology that equips, and technology that promotes collaboration.
As faith leaders, our task isn't to be always on all digital channels and all apps at all times. Rather, our calling is to be intentional about very specific uses of tools that gather, equip, and collaborate.
These three categories of technology in a hybrid ministry context afford us the ability to be selective. If we identify the best technologies aligning to each of these practices, we can unplug from the rest, saving ourselves money, but most importantly, conserving the energy and focus of our leadership teams.
Technologies that gather are particularly visible in public worship. With worship, we should only use the technologies that promote an equitable gathering experience for those worshipping in the sanctuary and those worshipping via a connected device. Many churches produced a recorded worship experience during the pandemic. While some ministries may have the capacity to continue recording, editing, and broadcasting a polished service, most will move towards worship live streaming.
In our services and through our gatherings, we should plug into the technologies that allow those connecting online to feel immersed and included. An iPhone with a USB microphone, mounted in the front row, streaming to YouTube may prove far more valuable than a Hollywood-style streaming camera affixed to the back row of the balcony. In our gatherings, our primary commitment is to inclusivity, not to studio quality!
We will use technologies that equip primarily in faith formation and Christian education. With our teaching, we ought to only use the resources that transfer theory into practice. Here, the focus isn't as much on hardware or software, but on content.
Christian educators, especially during COVID, have a gift for producing considerable volumes of content: blogs, social posts, podcasts, videos, etc. But all of this content creation is time and resource intensive. In a hybrid ministry, Christian educators determine one or maybe two types of categories that facilitate spiritual practice. A youth group might find that guided prayers and meditations on Instagram Stories or IGTV do just that, whereas a senior's group might prefer a discussion on a Facebook wall post. Whatever you teach, whatever content you produce, make a commitment to minimalism and consistency. Share relevant content through the most appropriate channel on a predictable cadence - and then, share no more.
Finally, we will use technologies that facilitate collaboration throughout our ministry, but primarily in church leadership and administration. From Google Docs to Slack and Microsoft Teams, there's no shortage of "real-time" collaboration software to choose from.
As a member of my congregation recently pointed out, the more collaboration software we introduce, the more diluted our efforts, the more difficult it is to truly collaborate. In church leadership, we should regularly reflect on the purpose of our collaboration. Do we want tech that helps us to share the work of administrative tasks? Or do we want to use tools that promote asynchronous or virtual contributions to projects? Prioritize one method of collaboration, and select a tool that aligns with that specific use case. But start with specificity, with precision. Should the need arise, we can always add more collaborative technology.
In a hybrid ministry, less technology creates more impact. When we choose simple uses of technology that equip, gather, and collaborate, our communities are more likely to embrace the church's digital future. Moreover, our communities are more likely to join in living into our shared mission. When we overburden our faith communities with apps and hardware, subscriptions and services, we're that much more likely to desire a return to the "good 'ol days" of February 2020. As we look towards an eventual new normal, when the doors of our sanctuaries creak open, let us begin to unplug from that which is superfluous, so that we can connect where it matters most.

Those that infect humans belong to the Parechovirus A species and can cause infections ranging from mild gastrointestinal or respiratory illness to severe neonatal sepsis. There are no approved antivirals available to treat parechovirus (nor any other picornavirus) infections. In this parechovirus review, we focus on the cleaved protein products resulting from the polyprotein processing after translation comparing and contrasting their known or predicted structures and functions to those of other picornaviruses. The review also includes our original analysis from sequence and structure prediction. This review highlights significant structural differences between parechoviral and other picornaviral proteins, suggesting that parechovirus drug development should specifically be directed to parechoviral targets.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection has become the gold standard for diagnosis and typing of enterovirus (EV) and human parechovirus (HPeV) infections. Its effectiveness depends critically on using the appropriate sample types and high assay sensitivity as viral loads in cerebrospinal fluid samples from meningitis and sepsis clinical presentation can be extremely low. This study evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of currently used commercial and in-house diagnostic and typing assays. Accurately quantified RNA transcript controls were distributed to 27 diagnostic and 12 reference laboratories in 17 European countries for blinded testing. Transcripts represented the four human EV species (EV-A71, echovirus 30, coxsackie A virus 21, and EV-D68), HPeV3, and specificity controls. Reported results from 48 in-house and 15 commercial assays showed 98% detection frequencies of high copy (1000 RNA copies/5 mu L) transcripts. In-house assays showed significantly greater detection frequencies of the low copy (10 copies/5 mu L) EV and HPeV transcripts (81% and 86%, respectively) compared with commercial assays (56%, 50%; P = 7 x 10(-5)). EV-specific PCRs showed low cross-reactivity with human rhinovirus C (3 of 42 tests) and infrequent positivity in the negative control (2 of 63 tests). Most or all high copy EV and HPeV controls were successfully typed (88%, 100%) by reference laboratories, but showed reduced effectiveness for low copy controls (41%, 67%). Stabilized RNA transcripts provide an effective, logistically simple and inexpensive reagent for evaluation of diagnostic assay performance. The study provides reassurance of the performance of the many in-house assay formats used across Europe. However, it identified often substantially reduced sensitivities of commercial assays often used as point-of-care tests.
Investigation of antiviral activity of posaconazole against Parechoviruses
Plavec, Zlatka (Helsingin yliopisto, 2019)
OBJECTIVES and RESEARCH QUESTION. Human parechovirus 3 (HPeV3) is a (+)ssRNA icosahaedrally symmetric virus which causes meningoencephalitis and sepsis in children and neonates. As it causes the most severe symptoms among parechoviruses it is attracting more attention (4). Currently there are no approved broad treatment strategies against parechoviruses, however recent research by Rhoden et al., 2017, reported the antiviral activity of posaconazole (PSZ) against HPeV3 in cell culture. Posaconazole is an antifungal drug approved for use against Candida and Aspergillus infections. It targets lanosterol-14alpha-demethylase and prevents the production of ergosterol, a lipid vital for fungal membranes not present in mammalian cells (24). In mammalian cells PSZ accumulates at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and binds to the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) and Niemann-pick type C1 (NPC1) (59, 28, 30). The drug may affect cellular components and thusly block parechoviral infection or could bind to the viral capsid. METHODS. To test viral capsid-binding hypothesis PSZ activity was tested in a range of concentrations against two HPeV3 isolates and HPeV1 Harris in Vero and HT29 cell lines. HPeV3 isolate 152037 was purified on a CsCl step gradient and imaged by cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Single particle analysis was done in Scipion (40) and acquired density maps visualized in UCSF Chimera (49). Atomic model of a different isolate of HPeV3 (PDB ID: 6GV4, 16) was changed at 6 sites and fitted to density maps from this work in Coot (52). Maps were subtracted in search of density that would represent PSZ. RESULTS. PSZ was effective against both HPeV3 isolates at 1 μM in Vero cells when added to the virus prior to infection, however not in HT29 cells. At higher concentrations (>10 μM) PSZ formed crystals which limited the concentration that can be used for cryo-EM. In order to test the hypothesis of PSZ being a capsid binder 3 datasets were collected, HPeV3 control, HPeV3+DMSO and HPeV3+PSZ (4 μM) with final resolutions after single particle analysis of 3.3 Å, 3.9 Å and 3.4 Å respectively. Subtraction of maps yielded no difference that would represent PSZ. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION. PSZ does not appear to be a capsid binder although it appears to work early in the infection. Absence of PSZ density in HPeV3+PSZ density map could be due to low saturation and images containing PSZ were filtered out in image processing. Another possibility is low affinity of PSZ for the capsid. As PSZ binds various membranes it is possible that it blocks HPeV3 infection by targeting cell components. Additional experiments could be performed in the future in order to provide insight into which stages of infection PSZ affects.

Antoine Düss (August 14, 1840 – May 5, 1924) was a Swiss botanist.

Père Düss was born in Hasle, Switzerland, graduated from the Gymnasium in Luzern and entered the Congregation du Saint-Esprit et du Saint-Coeur de Marie in Paris. Titled variably as Abbé, Pére (Father) or Reverend, he held teaching positions at the Collége de Fort de France on Martinique and at the College de Basse-Terre on Guadeloupe. He collected botanical specimens mainly on Guadeloupe and its dependencies and Martinique, but made also collecting trips to Antigua, Barbuda, Dominica, and Saint Lucia.

He is honoured in the naming of Dussiella, which is a genus of fungi within the Clavicipitaceae family, and Dussia, which is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae.

Maroko brało udział w Konkursie Piosenki Eurowizji tylko raz, podczas konkursu w 1980 roku. Konkursem w kraju zajął się wówczas publiczny nadawca Société nationale de radiodiffusion et de télévision (SNRT).

Historia Maroko w Konkursie Piosenki Eurowizji

Korzystając z nieobecności Izraela w konkursie, marokański nadawca Société nationale de radiodiffusion et de télévision (SNRT) wysłał reprezentanta na 25. Konkurs Piosenki Eurowizji w 1980, zostając pierwszym afrykańskim krajem występującym w konkursie. Przedstawicielką telewizji publicznej została, wybrana wewnętrznie, Samira Sa'id z utworem "Bitakat hubb" (بطاقة حب), który został pierwszą arabskojęzyczną propozycją zaprezentowaną podczas koncertu. W sobotnim finale, który odbył się w holenderskiej Hadze, zdobyła łącznie siedem punktów (wszystkie od Włoch), zajmując tym samym przedostatnie, 18. miejsce.
Słaby wynik osiągnięty na Eurowizji 1980 spowodował rezygnację nadawcy publicznego z udziału w kolejnym konkursie.

W 2008 prywatny nadawca 2 Morocco Television rozpoczął starania o członkostwo w Europejskiej Unii Nadawców (EBU), aby mieć możliwość wystawienia w najbliższych latach swojego reprezentanta na Konkurs Piosenki Eurowizji. Marokańskie władze są jednak przeciwne udziałowi państwa w konkursie ze względu na konflikt z Izraelem. Po podpisaniu w grudniu 2020 traktatu pokojowego między krajami udział Maroka w Eurowizji ponownie stał się możliwy, a izraelskie media zachęcają Maroko do powrotu na konkurs.

ANYWHERE BUT HOME: NO WONDER KIDS LOVE THEIR FRIENDS' PARENTS!
Art Buchwald
SHARE ANYWHERE BUT HOME: NO WONDER KIDS LOVE THEIR FRIENDS' PARENTS!
This summer many parents were bewildered about why their children preferred to spend their vacations with strangers instead of their own flesh and blood.
Carolyn List Ehler said while we were standing in the supermarket line the other day, "I don't understand it. We raised them from babies, sat up nights worrying about them, sacrificed our pensions to put them through college, and they don't want to spend a weekend with us."A young girl standing behind us heard the conversation and said, "What you don't understand is that the reason kids prefer to go to their friends' vacation places is they know they will be treated so much better there than they will be at home. They don't get bawled out."
Carolyn became upset. "I don't give my children flak when they come home. I bake brownies for them and let them sleep until 11 o'clock."
The young lady said, "And you don't tell them what they should be doing with their lives?"
"Every parent tells children what they should be doing with their life."
"And you don't ever bring up the subject of grades, and how nice it would be if they made their beds and didn't leave all the dirty dishes in the sink?"
"Maybe, but what's the big deal about that?"
"Nothing, except I'm staying with my friend Sophie and her mother doesn't say a word to me when I come down to breakfast after getting home at 3 a.m."
Carolyn said, "I can see why you like it better at Sophie's, but after all the pain and agony parents should have some visiting rights to a daughter before she goes back to school."
The girl said, "Parents don't have rights - they have privileges. It is your privilege to pack her up for school, make sure she has enough new clothes, check her bank account and, if you are lucky, get her to stay home on her last night instead of spending it with the gang."
I didn't want to get into it, but I suggested to Carolyn, "Why don't you invite some strangers to stay with you and get from your guests all the nourishment you were hoping to get from your daughter?"
She turned to the young girl in line and said, "How would you like to be our guest for Labor Day?"
"I'd love to, but I already promised to stay with the Bramhalls while their daughter is visiting her best friend Sarah Newman in Jackson Hole."

The detailed mechanism of the enzymic transformation of proinsulin has not yet been elucidated, but it appears to be a complex process requiring the participation of several proteolytic activities. A useful model system is described in which ordinary pancreatic trypsin arid carboxypeptidase B are shown to rapidly and quantitatively convert proinsulin to insulin. This reaction is accompanied by the liberation of the C-peptide and four basic amino acids. Studies on the biosynthesis and conversion of proinsulin in isolated islets of Langerhans suggest that the conversion to insulin begins in the Golgi apparatus and continues within newly formed secretory granules. Evidence bearing on this conclusion is summarized, and experiments are described that demonstrate conversion of proinsulin to insulin in a crude secretory granule fraction prepared from islets of Langerhans. Lysates of this subcellular fraction have been shown to contain low levels of trypsin-like activity. With lightly trypsin-treated proinsulin labeled with [3H]-arginine in the regions of specific cleavage as a substrate, a carboxypeptidase B-like activity has also been detected. Further studies will be required to elucidate the nature of these enzymes and their possible relationship to the pancreatic acinar trypsins and carboxypeptidases. Structural studies on C-peptides from several mammalian species are briefly discussed. Comparisons of these amino acid sequences indicate that considerably greater interspecies variation occurs in this region of the molecule. Extension of these comparative studies of C-peptide structure should shed light on the role of this region in facilitating the correct folding of the proinsulin polypeptide chain, and these also may disclose new aspects of insulin evolution.


If your toes are tingly, cracked or sore, if your feet are numb, cold or prone to infection, you could have diabetes-related foot problems. One study found that as many as 50 percent of people with diabetes have nerve damage to their feet, but you don't have to be one of them. The following quick tips can help keep your feet in fine form.
Your feet do a lot for you, so give a little back. Look them over twice a day, checking for cuts, cracks, calluses, sores, bunions, blisters, ingrown toenails or redness — and check between toes, too. Use a mirror to help if bending is difficult. See a problem? Talk to your doctor right away.

Top 5 CHH Artists 2018
A lot of people put out music right at the end of 2018 so that made this list more difficult to come up with for me. I'm still rockin the music that came out late 2018. As of right now though, these are my top 5 favorite artists from 2018
5. GAWVI
Gawvi put out an amazing album this year and is a monster producer. My favs from him this year: SLINGSHOT. Fight for me. IMPERIUM.
4. Aaron Cole
Aaron didn't put out an album this year but with all the singles he put out, he might as well have. He's got more of a poppy feel and makes some good feel good music. My favs from him this year: Off My Back. Motions. The Other Side.
3. Ty Brasel
Ty hit us with the full Destined for Greatness album this year and it's a monster. Very melodic album and the lyrics are encouraging. There's a lot of focus on depression and anxiety and emotional music right now, and even though there's some of that with Ty it's a breath of fresh air to hear some uplifting music that makes you feel optimistic. My favs from him this year: No More. God Son. Praying Hands II.
2. Nobigdyl.
Solar is the album of the year. Dyl has a perfect balance of melodic singing and straight lyricism. Also has a perfect balance of emotion throughout the project. Perfect balance of chill beats with hard hitting beats. Solar is one of my favorite albums of all time, not just this year. My favs from him this year: Pressure. Anime. Orion. Close.
1. Joey Vantes
Joey constantly and consistently puts out music that's creative and unique to Joey. All of his beats hit hard and they're balanced well with the way he delivers his lyrics. He might not be the greatest lyricist on the list, but I think the art he puts out is the most creative and is my personal favorite. My favs from him this year: Ghost. The Fall. Cloud.
Runner up: 1K Phew. There weren't a whole lot of releases from 1k in 2018, so he didn't make my cut this year. But he's still a runner up because I mess with him heavy. Probably my second favorite artist.
This is my list not for the year, but my top 5 period.
5. NobigDyl
I liked the solar album, but I actually think Canopy is better. Can't wait to see him on tour in March! I'm not gonna lie, his purple dinosaur video won my heart over. His skill to combine the old school flow of hip hop with a new school feel gives his music a vibe I want to mess with.
Destined for greatness is awesome. I love his flow and what he represents. What makes me love Ty so much is his background story. Something this game needs so bad is people who are raw. He struggled with drugs and alcohol and he is open about it. His music reflects reality. Regardless of our darkest moments, we are all destined for greatness.
Let me begin by saying... I honestly like Joey - even though he had a confusing name change. He has so much potential to be number one because of his amazing beats and his consistency but for me, I love lyrical perfection. Most of the time, I can't really make out what Joey's songs are even about, BUT he's definitely got a unique emotion to his music unlike anyone else on this list. He's managed to produce beats like no other and create vibes with his music that just makes you wanna jam out.
2. Tragic Hero
Straight up lyrical genius. Believe me when I tell you that he's the real deal and will be big time one day. I'm a sucker for rappers that know how to write hardcore lyrics. This guy right here, if he continues on the path that he is on, will be number one on my list for years to come. Since he's from the "south side of Jersey" I must say, I got a little more love for his music. I know he's been out for a while but I'm telling you, his genius is gonna get known. Put it in the history books, Nick on Bibledingers podcast predicts Tragic Hero going down as one of the best CHH artists ever.
1. NF
On Bibledingers, you'll soon notice that Ryan and I have different opinions on a lot of things. This is definitely one of them. For me, NF's lyrics and flow is untouchable. Too many people compare him to Eminem because he's white and from the same area, but you can't reject the fact that he is something special. We are all in need of a Therapy Session at some point in our lives and his story hits home. I'm looking forward to his 2019 releases. We'll see what he comes up with.
Memo: I'm not one of those people (like Ryan) that think just because a CHH song has the name Jesus in it, that its corny and it needs to be masked to be cool. One of my favorite lyrical songs of all time is New Portrait by KB. If you never listened to it, give it a go and let us know what you think. #teamnick all the way baby.
Additionally, I found an artist name Cortes. I absolutely love his music.. He has the potential to be better than anyone on this list. I hope to hear more from him. If anyone knows him or knows where to go to get more of his music, let us know!! The problem is, It's like he drops a song and goes ghost.. I want him on this list!!!!!!! What's his story?
What were some of your favorites of the year? Hit us up @bibledingers
Ding on!

Charcuterie is an art that rewards patience. Brining, curing, smoking, pickling: all of these things take time, but the final results are unlike anything you can whip up in a few hours in the kitchen. Charcuterie also demands planning and consideration of ingredient seasonality. If you think far enough ahead about what and when you want to eat, you can create a rolling schedule of meals based on what comes out of the smoker, curing cabinet, fermenting crock, or refrigerator.
I had eight legs ready, along with a half cup of kosher salt, two bay leaves, two tablespoons of chopped thyme, a quarter cup of parsley leaves, and a teaspoon of black peppercorns.
I rubbed the legs with the salt (about a tablespoon per leg), packed them into a baking dish, covered the dish with plastic wrap, and let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours. The next day the legs had darkened and firmed up a bit, leaving some liquid in the bottom of the dish.
I rinsed and dried the legs, packed them two layers deep into a medium pot, and covered them with melted duck fat. After ten hours in a 190°F oven, the legs were tender.
I let the legs and fat cool, then removed the legs to a new container while I strained the fat and let it settle.
See that pink layer below the fat? That's the meat juices and rendered collagen, a culinary treasure. I poured clarified fat from the top layer into the container holding the legs, covering them by about a half inch.
I decanted the remaining fat and the confit jelly into separate containers.
I took the duck legs out of the fridge and let them come up to room temperature, which would let me remove the legs from the fat without tearing the meat.
While I waited, I made two other confits: onion and garlic, both from Bouchon recipes. The onion "confit" is actually an onion soubise, cooked low and slow with butter until the onions are soft but not browned.
The garlic is cooked in oil over low heat for about an hour, until the cloves have softened.
The recipe yields were more than I needed, so I stored the extra onions and garlic in the fridge. I bottled the excess garlic oil, which I will use for sautéing and vinaigrettes.
I reheated the duck legs, skin side down, over medium heat until the skin was browned.
I spooned some of the fat from the pan into a baking dish, added the legs skin side up, and put the dish in a 375°F oven for about eight minutes to heat through.
While the legs cooked, I made Lyonnaise potatoes: sliced fingerling potatoes cooked in duck fat with the onion confit.
Juggling a third pan, I made sautéed spinach with garlic confit, adding a dollop of the confit jelly as seasoning.

Are you going to get botulism from the garlic oil? I am irrationally terrified of preserving garlic, but maybe since it's cooked…?
My unscientific response would be "I'm still alive after years of using homemade garlic oil." My scientific response would be the garlic was cooked at sufficiently high temperatures for a sufficiently long time to kill any bacteria. In addition, I only use the oil in hot cooking applications.
It's difficult to screw up confit. Be sure to separate out the meat juices from the fat, handle everything with clean hands, and let it sit for a few weeks.
Interesting blog you have there, describing an activity that is completely foreign to this city-raised New Englander.
Fair enough. I'm still alive after all the uncooked eggs I consume. I'm pretty sure I worry too much about the tiny risk of botulism.
I make confit 2-3 times a year, and I just discovered chicken rillettes. I picked up a duck for confit and thought about picking up a chicken for rillettes and inspiration struck. I think I'll save back a duck leg and eat it confited and shred all the rest.
