When an entire generation seems to have some sort of OCD, it just makes sense that someone would open a restaurant under that name. And in an era when we all upload our food to Instagram, it's only natural that an Instagram icon would open a restaurant. That's how the chef, foodie and Instagram king Raz Rahav, A.K.A. Razi Barvazi, created OCD – to put all of the most seductive Instagram pics on the plate.
The restaurant purposely has no menu, and what you'll get (happily, I have no doubt) sent to your table are dishes set in advance. Basically, your food for the evening is selected for you. The restaurant features an open kitchen and a limited amount of seating. Make sure you don't forget to post your food on Instagram!

Fijian Specialist Backs Aviation Liability Law
Fiji needs to ratify Montreal Convention 1999 for even better security of air travellers, it was urged yesterday. The call was made by former acting Director Civil Aviation, Joeli Koroikata.

Fiji needs to ratify Montreal Convention 1999 for even better security of air travellers, it was urged yesterday.
The call was made by former acting Director Civil Aviation, Joeli Koroikata.
He made these remarks while presenting to the Fiji Parliament Foreign and Defence Committee on the need to ratify the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air.
"Ratification implies that future travel in Fiji airlines will be well protected and provided for in terms of liability coverage on carriers in respect of death or injury and for destruction or loss of, or damage to, baggage, and for delay, the liability of carriers will be determined by a more uniformed Special Drawing Rights (SDR) as defined by International Monetary Fund (IMF). Fiji is a signatory to the earlier Warsaw Convention covering such issues.
Mr Koroikata said that the Fiji Air PC121 crash near Delailasakau Village in the interior of Naitasiri forced a review of national aviation laws. The crash, in 1999, killed 17 people, both local and international.
The aviation laws were amended in 2006 because the maximum liability cover was very low, said Mr Koroikata.
"In this case national laws will be implicated and must be amended to incorporate changes required and with regards to Chapter III of the Convention the Chief Executive Officer must be amended to include the liability coverage based on calculations using SDR.
"Fiji is a member of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) after it ratified the Convention on International Civil Aviation(or Chicago Convention)and ICAO is dedicated to developing safe, secure and efficient air transport for peaceful purposes and ensuring a reasonable opportunity for every state to operate international airlines," he said.

Raccoons busted after breaking into bank in California
Oct 22nd 2020 1:12PM
Two raccoons were caught red-handed after breaking into a bank in California on Tuesday when a member of the public spotted them inside.
The masked invaders were seen inside the Redwood City bank by a member of the public who had been using an ATM at the time.
The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA (PHS/SPCA) were called to the scene and, after 10 minutes, were successful in returning the furry pair to the outside world.
The raccoons are thought to have entered the bank through air ducts (PHS/SPCA/PA)
"It's not every day an animal organisation gets called to deal with a bank break-in, but since the bank robbers were masked bandits of the wildlife kind, we were indeed the appropriate responders," said PHS/SPCA's communications manager Buffy Martin Tarbox.
"The bank managers let our rescue staff into the bank, and after about 10 minutes of chasing the raccoons around the bank, we were finally able to safely shoo them outside. They apparently didn't want to leave the bank."
The bank had been closed at the time, allowing the raccoons free rein to wreak havoc after it is believed they entered through air ducts.
They took the opportunity to knock a computer over and reportedly ate a number of almond cookies – they are not believed to have made away with any money, and were not injured during their adventure.

Here's a great way to let your kids have more fun in the bath! So easy to make using household ingredients! These make wonderful gifts for Christmas, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day or as a cute party favours!
1. Sift the baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch into mixing bowl.
3. Pour a cup or so of your powdered mixture into a smaller bowl. Lightly spritz, stirring after each spritz, until the powder is your desired colour. Add water slowly, so mixture does not fizz. When your mixture has a 'wet sand' consistency & can be tightly packed or shaped, stop spritzing (this may take a little while). Do this with all of your colours.
3. Select an essential oil – we used a lovely lemon scented one. Add a few drops and mix well.
4. Firmly pack mixture into the baking molds. My Master 5 had a ball doing this, he loved the feel of it.
5. Let your mixture sit for a few hours – preferably over night. We found that the longer we left them, the easier it was to get them out of the molds without any breakages.
These literally 'fizz' up in the bath and the kids LOVED them!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Let us know if you try them and what your kids thought of them!
Did this with my 1 and 3 year olds, I'm not sure what they found the most fun, miss one mastering using the spray bottle and it becoming her favourite toy for a week, actually making them and squishing it altogether and into the moulds, running the quickest ever to get in the bath or enjoying them fizz!
Thanks for sharing yet another fun activity!
I can't see why not…although we haven't tried it ourselves – I would say only a warm oven not hot.
Hi, Bicarb soda, is that baking soda? (live in the Netherlands so not really familiar with it… But would love to make them!
You can go to the Toko or oriental specialty store and buy "Arm and Hammer" baking soda. I used to get it on Steenstraat in Arnhem.
Hi Karin, always have baking soda in the cupboard! I use a lot of American recipes! 😉 But thanks!
Is it cornflour or cornstarch?
Have told my son about your site. He is a single Dad and he and my granddaughter love doing craft activities together.
Is there somewhere in Brisbane that sells the citric acid in larger amounts than the little bottle at the supermarket?
This soooo great! I have two boys 4 and 2 and it wasn't long ago we ran out of the.tub colors we had bought a bunch of as stocking stuffers. now that i kno we can make our own its so awesome. Quick question tho, is the citric acid essential for the recipe to work? Is that what makes.it.fizz when paired with the baking soda?
I am in the United States and most Essential Oils here are for home oil burners and diffusers, anyone got a clue or a website where I can find some that's safe for the skin.
You can find some safe for skin essential oils in most craft stores. They will be in the soap/lotion making section of the store.
I am in the states (PA) and can't find citric acid anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find this or if it has a different name here?

Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?
Discussion in 'Model 3' started by Infoe, Mar 31, 2016.
I also am wondering this as well. I did not receive a confirmation email. I thought I saw on the screen that it said they will be sending out confirmation emails within 24 hours. Can anyone else on the east coast confirm they reserved and also *didn't* get an email yet?
You will get an email. I did.
How long after taking the pre-order did your email come through?
Hmmm, I'm getting nervous. I was one of the first in line at 10 and still nothing.
Finished my reservation at 10:11AM, no e-mail yet either.
On the bright side, I see an authorization for $1000 on my credit card, so at least I know the form worked.
update: Order placed at 10:05am EST, E-Mail confirmation received at 10:51AM Est!
Same here - no email about 40 mins after placing deposit. Trying to view MyTesla to see if it's there but the Tesla site is not responding.
Placed order at about 10:20 AM, email came through a few minutes later for creating a password on the tesla site. I created it, then got an email with a confirmation. Not sure if creating it spurred the confirmation, I think not and the confirmation would have come anyway. But then I was able to log into my account and see my reservation number.
Granted, I got lucky and was able to do it in Italy in person for a US delivery because I'm traveling. So the system traffic was low since the US stores hadn't opened yet.
I was second and completed my order at exactly 10:03 am. So about 30 mins.
I was first in Charlotte, NC, finishing at about 10:02-10:03am... My email was delivered at 10:13am. Right at the same time, my CC company told me that a purchase was made at Tesla for $1,000.00 (I always get these emails when I buy something).
I was 44th in line at the Raleigh store and put in my deposit around 10:35. No email yet, but the deposit did go through to my CC.
I've just tried to login to the Tesla site and I've just been timing out over and over... I think the servers are busy. Be patient... it'll come.
Dont worry for some of you. Mine took almost 40 minutes before i got the confirmation.
Got mine about 3 minutes after the reservation was done.
Having the same issue, just called the Dedham store and was told their systems are swamped, wait 2-3 hours and be worried if nothing after 24 hours.
Their IT is definitely getting hammered, tesla.com and the My Tesla area is clearly quite slow and they did give themselves 24 hours to get the email to you. I'm sure it will come. My charge was approved and shows in my bank, but it will be nice when I see stuff in the My Tesla part of the website.
I reserved one yesterday your time (don't worry ours are RHD), and I got email confirmation instantly. Also I can see my reservation in My Tesla.

America, The Totalitarian State: Sheryl Attkisson Says, CBS Honchos Ordered Me to Present a False Account of Obama's Words on Whether Benghazi Was a Terrorist Attack
From Ace:
As you remember, Obama denied repeatedly that Benghazi had been a terrorist attack, but eventually facts leaked out making this position untenable.
He then asserted in his Denver debate with Mitt Romney that he had called it a terrorist attack from the get-go. Not so.
And CBS had an interview with Obama conducted the day after the attack showing Obama refusing to call it a terrorist attack.
But they ordered Attkisson, she says, to go with a quote that made it sound as if he had told Steve Kroft it had in fact been a terrorist attack.
I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, and I was assigned to read 1984, and other literary commentaries on Totalitarianism, somehow, I got the idea that Totalitarianism was thoroughly evil.
And, it is. Trying to steal away people's reality, by controlling their perceptions of the world around them, yes, that is evil.
But somehow I got the idea it was a visceral evil. A foreboding evil. An evil you could feel and smell all around you.
But instead, it is this.
It is the world we live in.
And while we may be frustrated with it to the point where our blood boils, it does not feel evil.
It just feels taunting, insulting, and degrading. Like a playground bully whom you're much, much bigger than, but somehow you're not allowed to give a payback roundhouse.
Fuck this shit.
Now, let us remember the context of this fabricated story about Obama. The context, as you probably well remember, is the 2012 Presidential Election.
And during that Election there were debates between the candidates. And Romney just kicked Obama's ass all over the place in the first debate.
But then, in the second debate, against every rule of debate and decorum, CBS' Candy Crowley interrupted the proceedings and interjected this:
So CBS manufactured the story for Obama, and CBS had their "moderator" Candy Crowley assert said story as the new reality, and they hit Romney over the head with it, leaving him no way to respond against such absolutely asinine counter-truth.
And America has never been the same since.
So yeah, the evil is not visceral, but it's right there in front of my fucking face.
It's Spiritual Ebola, churning the guts of logic and reason to a bloody, pulpous mess.
Who knew Totalitarianism smells like vomit and diarrhea?

Liam Malone – Blades of Glory
November 14, 2016 By jp Leave a Comment
This time I was fortunate enough to sit down with Paralympic gold medalist Liam Malone.
Recently at the Paralympics Liam won the silver medal in the men's 100 meters and took the gold in both the men's 200 meters and 400 meters. Liam smashed Oscar Pistorius' record in the 200m at the games and during the interview goes into detail about how he spoke with Oscar while he was on home detention earlier in the year.
Soon after his medal haul, Liam grasped the worlds' attention with his attitude and outlook on life, featuring on several high profile shows in the UK including Stand Up to Cancer.
We talk about Liam's journey to the RIO games, dealing with adversity and what's next for the 22 year old.
I think you're really going to love this one with Liam, he is an absolute champ.


I always loved shopping for Easter dresses with my mom every year and I still love picking out something new for the holiday! I've put together a few of my favorite spring dresses that I think would be perfect for Easter. And the best part: they're all under $55! Hope you find one you like!
I have shared this one before, but it's definitely one of my favorites. I recently ordered it for myself and it is so pretty on!
This dress comes in 6 colors!
I hope you find something you love to wear on Easter this year! It is such a special holiday and I hope you all enjoy it with your families.

Officers Shot Too Soon Says Girlfriend Of Man Killed By Louisville Police
By Jacob Ryan
Photo: Jacob Ryan
The girlfriend of the man fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police earlier this week is calling his death a murder.
Darnell Wicker was shot and killed by two Louisville Metro police officers around 1:30 Monday morning at an apartment complex in southwest Louisville. The officers were responding to a 911 call made at the behest of Anita Jones, Wicker's girlfriend of 22 years.
"When I was in the house he didn't pull no weapons out, when I came out he came out with them, but not like coming at me with them," Jones said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
Here's What We Know About Monday's Police Shooting In Louisville
She said Wicker wasn't threatening her and that she wanted him to leave her home, where he also stayed most nights. Jones said the responding officers were too quick to use deadly force.
"He had no chance to drop a weapon, he had no time to even drop the weapon, when they said drop the weapon," Jones said. "Pow pow pow pow, exactly, just like that."
Wicker was allegedly holding a saw-like object in his hands as officers approached, according to an account from Police Chief Steve Conrad. Jones said she believes it's likely Wicker grabbed the saw as he was packing up some tools before leaving the apartment.
The two officers who shot Wicker are on administrative duty and under investigation by the department's Public Integrity Unit.

A Man Stole His Ex Girlfriend's Toilet After She Broke Up With Him And The Story Is Bizarre AF
A breakup of seriously epic proportions involving a stolen toilet.
If you've ever had a bad break up, you may have had the urge to smash up your ex's stuff.
It's not right, but it's a completely understandable reaction to have when a relationship comes to an end.
Well, one man took things to another level when he and his now ex-girlfriend broke up. He stole her toilet.
@__ioy9embedded via
Literally, the whole thing, straight out of the bathroom.
According to a Reddit post by "Shelblikadoo," she and her now ex-boyfriend broke up and his immediate response was to rip out her toilet.
According to the post, she went to sleep while he packed up all his stuff and prepared to leave their shared apartment.
He also decided to take the toilet. But, there is a bit of a backstory about what led him to make that bizarre choice.
The toilet broke at one point during their relationship, and instead of calling the landlord to deal with it, "Shelkikadoo" says she got her then-boyfriend, who is a licenced plumber according to her, to fix it.
The boyfriend then would bring up the fact that he had fixed it all the time whenever they argued, she says.
"He's thrown it in my face ever since," she wrote replying to one comment, "every little dispute we had it was, 'you're gonna be like that after I put so much money in this apartment?'"
You can see a photo of where the toilet was before it was taken below.
I split up with my boyfriend yesterday. I fell asleep while he was packing and he stole my toilet. https://t.co/rdBPs690OS
— James Gaughan (@JGaughan_23) August 15, 2018
The first words out of his mouth when she broke up with him were "I'm taking the f**ing toilet," says "Shelblikadoo."
Clearly, he was not kidding.

The process of developing strategies to meet national ambient air quality standards has been a subject of considerable debate among the states and between them and the USEPA. Among the issues are: (i) the way the standards and demonstrations of attainment are formulated fails to take meteorological and other uncertainties into account, resulting in an unrealistically tight de facto standard; (ii) the lack of emphasis on and incentives for finding cost-effective approaches to meeting standards and (iii) the lack of recognition that different control policies affect environmental endpoints differently.
The proposed research has two primary goals. The first is to model the ozone non-attainment problem by integrating a stochastic photochemical model of ozone formation into an economic framework for controlling emission of the precursors of ozone under uncertainty. A stochastic air quality simulation framework and a stochastic cost-benefit analysis framework to be developed will allow us to examine the effects of uncertain inputs within the air quality simulation, exposure-response, and health valuation models. These effects include: methods for computing the effect of changes in inputs on model estimations, i.e., sensitivity analysis; methods for calculating the uncertainty in the model outputs induced by the uncertainties in its inputs, i.e. uncertainty propagation, and methods for comparing the importance of the input uncertainties in terms of their relative contributions to uncertainty in the output, i.e., importance analysis.
The second objective is to demonstrate how to conduct analyses of alternative ozone reduction policies using this modeling approach. Stochastic multi-objective programming models will be developed for this purpose. Alternative objective functions will be examined, including optimization of the stochastic responses of social benefits, optimization of the benefit obtained at individual receptor regions and maximization of the reliability of satisfying certain benefit goals. These models will be able to consider ozone concentrations at multiple locations. These models will yield information on emission control strategies of primary precursors from individual sources, the approximated distribution of net social benefits, and the approximate ozone concentration distribution at various geographical locations. This illustrative analysis will be conducted for the northeastern U.S.
The modeling framework and illustration may serve to improve our understanding of how uncertainties in ozone formation and movement, in costs and effectiveness, and in benefits alter possible control strategies relative to those arising from studies that do not take such effects into account. If the strategies appear greatly affected, a possible result would be for changes in EPA guidance to the states in their modeling and demonstration of attainment as part of their State Implementation Plans (SIPs) under the Clean Air Act. This research might also affect EPA deliberations and rulemakings on implementing the new ozone standards recently proposed.
The model to be developed for this project will be used to search for efficient NOx pollution control programs, such as emissions or ambient trading, in the Eastern U.S. This work will differ from (and, in effect, extend) the Ozone Transport Assessment Group's (OTAG's) deterministic modeling by including an environmental benefit component and stochastic elements of the air quality, cost, and benefit components.


The course books usually arrive about a month before each module starts. It can be a good idea to cram up in preparation, before the official start date. The allotted time for essays can be less than the time it takes you to write, depending on what kind of essay writer you are. If (like me) you prefer to write smaller chunks over a longer period of time, then getting ahead, to avoid falling behind is the best thing to do. Even those who like to write the whole essay in one night can benefit from starting the module a little ahead. One of the reasons students choose to study with The Open University is because they have other commitments. Sometimes those commitments can cut into study and essay writing time unexpectedly.
Studying independently, even with occasional face to face tutorials (assuming you're able to attend those) can be difficult. Of course you have the support of a tutor who you are able to contact by phone and/or email, but support from other students can be beneficial, in additional to support from the tutor. There will be online tutor forums, where you can discuss anything relating to the course. Often students will set up a Facebook group too, which will have more students to talk things through with. Just remember that the usual OU rules will apply to Facebook too, such as no plagiarism, no posting essays/extracts etc.
Although I've suggested trying to start the module slightly ahead, don't feel too pressured if you start to fall behind. It can seem like everyone on the tutor forums or Facebook group is racing ahead and getting high marks. It's more important to concentrate on your own work, rather than looking at what everyone else is doing. The tutor is there if you fall into difficulty and can grant an extension if you have a good reason for needing one. The good thing about OU study is there are no set learning times, so you can fit in study as and when you have the time. Just a few 20-30 minute study session fitted into each day can add up quickly.
You will learn more than just wherever the subject you're studying happens to be. Even though the tutor and other students are there to help you, most of the time they are not there in person as they would be in a brick university. That might be daunting at first, having to figure out your own studying schedule and trying to stick to it. You will eventually learn what works best for you. You can also list good time management, self motivation and determination, when applying for jobs. These are all things that employers look for.
This applies to any student really, whether distance learning or at a brick university. However, as I hinted at earlier, Open University students can feel isolated at times. So when you do get feedback, however harsh it may seem, always try to pay attention to it. Without access to daily tutorials, this is all the more precious. For me I only found tutor feedback valuable after finishing certain modules, making my own mistakes, then realising for myself that the tutors were right all along and didn't actually have anything against me, as I once thought with one particular tutor.
Myself and other Open University students I've spoken with have had similar comments from friends, family and other people we mention our studies to. Comments are usually along the lines of 'it's not a real course' or 'but it's not like in a real university' or 'your qualification won't be recognised like mine will.' Of course there are differences between studying at a brick university or an open style of learning. That doesn't mean one is better than the other. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. It just depends on your circumstances, commitments and what works best for you. The end result for students of both methods, but on the same course, will be the same qualification.

Elon Musk writes a letter to all the special people he contributes the success of his company to. This letter is not public, unlike other Musk announcements which he does on Twitter and other social media. This year however, Wired let the public have a look on the 2017 version of Elon Musk's Christmas letter.
In his letter, he makes a point of how he records time. He joked about being a Martian. He said that even he cannot deny how things were progressing and they had achieved a lot of goals.
He said that SpaceX completed 15 years. He referred to it as Space X's age. He said that Space X successfully launch its 12th resupply mission to the International Space Station this summer.
Tesla completed 14 year or it's age is 14. He wrote that the company had promised to start deliveries of its affordable Model 3 sedan in summer, and they made it happen. He emphasized on the features of the car mentioning huge glass roof, innovative touchscreen interface, and all the acceleration.
He made sure to mention the 400,000 people who have pre-ordered the Model 3 sedan. He mentioned the recently released Tesla electric semitruck and called it a precocious teen.
OpenAI and Neuralink with ages 2 and 1 respectively were next on his list. He wrote that he had always thought about merging human brains with computers, and two of his youngest projects had made that happen.
He wrote that OpenAI is using surprisingly svelte sumo wrestlers to make artificial intelligence smarter and nimbler. A technology he hopes will come in handy in helping Tesla with that AI chip it's making for Autopilot.
The newest and youngest project worth mentioning in his letter is The Boring Company at age 1. He wrote about the company's activities including digging tunnels under SpaceX's headquarters in Los Angeles and under Baltimore.
He said that Boring are completely proficient about his ambition regarding public transit. Boring has reassured him that these tunnels will be for fancy hyperloops and private cars on electric sleds, only.
He ended the letter addressing his friends and fans, comrades and competitors, investors short and long, my best tidings and wished them and his projects well.

Time to ramble on
published by Jose Vasquez on 10/26/12 3:13pm
It's been my honor to serve as IVAW's Executive Director for the last three plus years. My reasons for stepping back from the ED position are simple. First, I'm a parent now and my priorities have shifted to making sure my son has a better life than the one I had as a kid. That means making more money while working less hours so I can be home to help raise him.
Second, I've always tried to push myself to always move forward in life. I've learned a lot on staff at IVAW but there is much more for me to learn. The opportunity I have at North Star Fund will allow me to learn how philanthropy works while also providing the job security my family needs right now. In addition, many of you know I've been pursuing a PhD in Cultural Anthropology since 2003. I want to make more progress toward that goal but despite my best efforts can't while working full time at IVAW.
Lastly, I think any good leader realizes that in order for more leaders to come up through the ranks he or she needs to step aside at some point. I fully intend to continue to be a member of the organization I love and will fill whatever volunteer role makes the most sense for me to take, including on the board if you'll have me.
My journey with the organziation began when I met Alex Ryabov, IVAW co-founder, at an event in NYC. At the time I was already undergoing a process seeking conscientious objector status in the Army Reserve and was following folks like Camilo Mejia, Pablo Paredes, and Kevin Benderman online and through Democracy Now!. Soon after meeting Alex and learning IVAW welcomed all post-9/11 servicemembers and veterans I signed up in 2005. Then I had the pleasure of meeting Garett Reppenhagen fresh from his deployment in Iraq and being blown away by the stories he had to share.
Anita (Cole) Foster is responsible for my first visit to the Philly office in the basement of the AFSC building on Cherry Street. I distinctily remember Amadee crouched over a computer surrounded by boxes and Lovella sitting on the floor with a laptop and cell phone to her ear. Pretty humble beginnings for a national organization. Anita had roped me into attending a advisory board meeting, the decision making body before we had our own board of directors, that included members of VVAW and VFP. I soon found myself involved in both local organizing as a chapter president and national organizing on the board. I was elected to the inaugural board in 2006.
To date my proudest moment in IVAW, if you can call it a "moment," is Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan. We put our blood, sweat, and tears into that event and the series of regional Winter Soldiers that followed. Although we faced internal and external adversity during and after that time I think many people from all walks of life pulled together to make something really special happen.
I want to thank all the folks who have ever worked on staff at IVAW. It can be at once the most rewarding and thankless job you can have. I think what keeps all the staff going is the members and the important insights they bring to this movement. Plus whenever a group of IVAW members gets together the sparks tend to fly, creating the chance to recharge your batteries.
I also deeply appreciate all the allies, donors, and supporters who have given much to keep this little engine that could running over the years. My special thanks to our brothers and sisters in the military and veterans community for bearing the burden of these wars with us.
IVAW has provided a real community for me and helped me grow as a person of conscience in a sometimes unconscoinable world. I am proud to be in the struggle for peace and justice with all of you.

This Gluten-Free Blueberry Cherry Crisp has it all – warm, sweet berries, with a crunchy oat and walnut topping, and a hint of maple syrup, that makes the most perrrfffeeeccttt masterpiece when topped with creamy vanilla coconut milk ice cream ….. swoon!
This obviously makes a great dish for the 4th of July by embracing our national colors in the form of a tasty treat. As an added bonus, you can mix the base of this Gluten-Free Blueberry Cherry Crisp right in the pan! One less dish to clean makes me a happy lady.
I am a big fan of warm gooey desserts. My goal when making a fruit crisp like this is to make sure it's not too liquidy at the bottom. To remedy that problem, I've added some almond flour and ground flaxseed to the berry mix, which thickens it up a bit. Another stipulation I have for fruit crisps is that they are crispy! What a crazy idea. A lot of the ones I've tried in the past are delicious but not quite crunchy enough on top, so for this recipe, I toasted my topping separately before adding it to the fruit. It provides the perfect crunchy texture to contrast the gooeyness of the fruit and ice cream, yay!
Because it's delicious! And because blueberries and cherries will help you look and feel younger. They're bursting with antioxidants that fight premature aging, plus they are naturally sweet and full of fiber, so you are full and happy since your blood sugar isn't skyrocketing. I used frozen cherries since pitting 2 lbs. of cherries would (to me) be a total pain, but you can totally use fresh of you want to!
Another highlight of this Gluten-Free Blueberry Cherry Crisp is the delicious flavor of maple syrup, AKA – the nectar of the gods. It's so damn good, and it actually has lots of minerals like zinc, which is great for your immune system, hair, skin, and nails (among other fancy benefits). Maple syrup also has a lower glycemic index than regular cane sugar, so it's more gentle on your blood sugar. Choosing natural sweeteners like this, instead of processed ones like white sugar, is a really easy way to make recipes healthier.
Start out by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. Mix all of your topping ingredients (oats, walnuts, sesame seeds, coconut sugar, sea salt, and maple syrup) in a bowl and pour onto a greased cookie sheet. Try to spread it out pretty well so that it's not piled on top of itself – this helps to magnify the crunch factor. Pop the pan in the oven and set the timer for 15 minutes.
Next, you're going to throw your frozen cherries, blueberries, cinnamon, flaxseed, almond flour, and remaining 3 Tbsp. maple syrup in a 9×13 inch greased baking dish and stir it all together. You can pop this in the oven as well, at the same temp, and bake for 40 minutes. Just make sure you set a separate timer so that you take the oat mix out after 20 minutes, while you're berries keep baking.
Now listen up, you have two options of how to serve my Gluten-Free Blueberry Cherry Crisp. One (which I did for these photos) is to keep the crunchy oat mix separate from the berry mix until you plate everything, and then sprinkle it over top. The other is to take the oat mix out of the oven 5 minutes earlier, sprinkle it evenly over the entire baking dish of fruit, and put it all back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Then you can just serve this Gluten-Free Blueberry Cherry Crisp buffet style. Both are equally as delicious, just depends on how you'd like to display it! Either way, just bake the fruit for a total of 40 minutes.
This Gluten-Free Blueberry Cherry Crisp is sooo good with something creamy, whether it's ice cream or coconut whipped cream, which you can find in my Citrus Salad and Ginger Chocolate Bark Recipe. As far as non-dairy ice cream goes, I'm a huge fan of the So Delicious Coconut Milk kind. BTW- I just finally bought an ice cream machine! So stay tuned for some fun new creations once I get that baby working.
Have a safe and fun Independence Day and I hope you enjoy this dessert with people you love! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this recipe.
This is such a perfect summer dessert - a gooey combination of warm berries, crunchy oats, and walnuts, sweetened with delicious maple syrup. Top it off with some ice cream and you're golden! Pure summer bliss.
Mix oats, coconut sugar, chopped walnuts, sesame seeds, sea salt, and 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. maple syrup together in a medium bowl.
Pour oat mix onto a greased cookie sheet, spread evenly, and bake for 15-20 minutes (see notes).
Grease a 9x13 baking pan and add all your Berry Base ingredients: frozen cherries, blueberries, almond flour, ground flax, cinnamon, and 3 Tbsp. maple syrup. Toss together well so all ingredients are combined.
Add baking pan to the oven with the oat pan and don't forget to set a separate timer. Bake the berries for a total of 35-40 minutes (again, see notes).
Enjoy with some vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream and garnish with fresh blueberries and cherries.
Serve the berries in individuals portions and add the oat mixture on top as you please - with this method you'll bake the oats for a total of 20 minutes and the fruit for a total of 40 minutes, separately.
2. Bake the oats for a total of 15 minutes and remove from oven. Then, after baking the fruit for 35 minutes, spread the oats on top of the entire baking dish of berries, then place back in the oven for another 5 minutes and serve out of the dish.
Yay! So glad you're planning to make it ❤ have a great holiday Adele!

Well here is the thing i used some API calls to determine shares on my system but i am not so sure what all the data is. Basically i get fields like share name and path that's fine but how do those permissions work when i get values back on 1,127,7. Also what is "type" it comes back as 0, "Remarks" I have no idea what is that and also "CFCFlags"?!?!?

Q: Loop through a list of map effectively Basically I have a List<Map<String, Object>> listOfValueand I need to check if the object is instance of byte then encode it to String as shown below:
private void convertByteToBase64(List<Map<String, Object>> listOfValue) {

Object value = null;

if (!CollectionUtils.isEmpty(listOfValue)) {

    for (Map<String, Object> map : listOfValue) {

        if (!map.isEmpty()) {

            for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : map.entrySet()) {

                value = entry.getValue();

                if (value instanceof byte[]) {

                    entry.setValue(Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString((byte[]) value));
                }
            }

        }

    }

}

}
I am using java 8 and it is working as expected but is it the correct way of doing it or any better way in term of performance?

A: Current implementation seems to be ok, however, checking for emptiness of the list and the nested maps seems to be redundant.
Some performance improvement may be possibly achieved if parallel streams are used to iterate the list/maps.
private void convertByteToBase64(List<Map<String, Object>> listOfValue) {
    Base64.Encoder base64encoder = Base64.getEncoder();
    listOfValue.parallelStream()
        .flatMap(map -> map.entrySet().parallelStream())
        .filter(entry -> entry.getValue() instanceof byte[])
        .forEach(entry -> entry.setValue(
            base64encoder.encodeToString((byte[]) entry.getValue())
        ));
}

Base64.Encoder is thread-safe: Instances of Base64.Encoder class are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads..

A: public static void convertByteToBase64(List<Map<String, Object>> listOfValue) {

    listOfValue.stream().parallel()
            .forEach(map -> map.forEach((key,value)->{
                if(value instanceof byte[]) {
                    map.put(key, Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString((byte[])value))  ;
        }
    }));
}

A: Alternatively, you can use parallelStream and filter as below.
private void convertByteToBase64(List<Map<String, Object>> listOfValue) {
           listOfValue.parallelStream().forEach(map -> {
            map.entrySet().parallelStream().filter(entry->entry.getValue() instanceof byte[]).forEach(entry -> {
                entry.setValue(Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString((byte[]) entry.getValue()));
            });
          });`
}

How to Succeed in Hollywood
- By Bruce Edwin
The following is the ongoing article on 'How to Succeed in Hollywood' by model and talent manager Bruce Edwin, based on his upcoming book. Mr. Edwin has booked national tours for various bands, including gigs at the famed Limelight nightclub that existed in New York City. He assisted the band Kill Hannah in getting signed to Atlantic Records, who went on to tour the world. He has launched the careers of many other models and actors, after getting them SAG eligible, and SAG franchised agents. His firm Starpower Management LLC currently represents numerous celebrity clientele. Part one of this article may be seen here.
The three main reasons people fail in this business:
Having seen thousands of models and actors, I have narrowed down the top 3 reasons as to why people fail or do not make it in this business to begin with. They are the following;
1) They do not treat their acting, modeling, or music career as a business, and take it seriously. An example of this, is an agency scouting an aspiring actor, model, or band, and interviewing them on the phone to come in for an in person interview. The actor, model, or band, who never answers their phone, finally gets a hold of them, and complains that they do not typically answer blocked calls. WRONG. All of the major film studios have blocked numbers, or dummy numbers, that route to non-existent lines if called back. Many agents and managers call from private numbers. If you do not answer private calls, you can count on not working. Telling an agent or manager you don't usually answer private calls, does not make you sound important to them, on the contrary, it will make you sound clueless about the industry.
TREAT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT CAREER AS A BUSINESS.
After they finally get a hold of the prospective agent or manager, the actor, band, or model may then start complaining that they are very skeptical about agents or managers, and had a very bad experience with their last one. WRONG. Would you go to apply to work at a bank and tell the interviewing manager how you dis-trust banks, and had a really bad experience at the last bank you worked for? If you did, do you think you would get the job and they would want you to work for them? It is no different with representation. Agents and managers create jobs for models and talent. If you call us complaining about your last agent, or telling us how paranoid you are of the industry, what makes you think we would want to deal with you or give you a chance? One model went so far as to tell me that she FIRED her last manager, and was going to sue her. First of all, this person was not big enough to 'fire' any one. Secondly, she had no merit to sue, and even if she did, why be so foolish as to tell us? Remember, treat your career as the job it is. Treat those that can get you work with the respect you would any employer.
2) Jealous boyfriend or girlfriend, or friend or family member. The outcome of great success in the entertainment industry is great attention from both sexes, and often, as being viewed as a sex symbol, an objectified person of desire. Many people in relationships with a significant other who is pursuing acting, modeling, or music, can not handle the growing attention their partner is getting, or seeks to get, as it makes them feel less significant, and this does not just apply to lovers or husbands and wives, but also to friends and family. Many so called friends have talked plenty of potential models with great, great potential out of a successful career, by slamming the agency, putting down the industry, or belittling their chances of success. In most cases, that so called friend weighs 100 pounds more than they do, and can only dream of being thin and pretty enough like them, so they succeed in dashing their friend's dreams to bits.
Two musicians once asked for my telephone number, and asked me to help them with their music career. I agreed, and sent them a non-exclusive two page agreement, and told them they would not have to pay for anything. Months went by, before these young adults finally told me their mother had an attorney in a different state look at the contract, and advise them not to sign. I called the attorney,who then tried to get me to pay her to re-write the contract, and represent me instead of them.

Facebook reaches 200m users
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed yesterday that the social networking site has attracted 200m global users, growing by 50m in 2009 alone and doubling the number of unique monthly visitors achieved by its main rival MySpace.In a blog post titled '200 Million Strong', Zuckerberg confirmed that Facebook continues to attract a large number of users, despite recent qualms over the website redesign and user privacy.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed yesterday that the social networking site has attracted 200m global users, growing by 50m in 2009 alone and doubling the number of unique monthly visitors achieved by its main rival MySpace.
In a blog post titled '200 Million Strong', Zuckerberg confirmed that Facebook continues to attract a large number of users, despite recent qualms over the website redesign and user privacy.
In January, Zuckerberg announced that Facebook had amassed 150m users, which grew to 175m in February. The figures show that in 2009 more than 500,000 people have signed up for Facebook everyday.
Data showed that more than one in four people with internet access visited Facebook in February.
In April last year, Facebook levelled with MySpace in terms of users. Since then MySpace has languished, posting a 2% drop in February with nominal growth in March.
However despite Facebook's successes, questions remain over its ability to tap into a sustainable revenue stream - as the number of users continue to grow, so do operational costs.
In a recent financial report, Facebook expected revenues to grow by 70% in 2009 and said it would be profitable in 2010.
Facebook generally attracts revenue through targeted display advertising and has also welcomed market researchers using its database as a source for collecting demographical statistics.
Facebook recently parted with its chief financial officer Gideon Yu, which analysts indicated was a sign the social network was preparing to float on the stock market.
A recent website redesign, which raised the ire of millions of Facebook users, could play a key role in attracting more advertising revenue.
Last month Facebook rejigged its homepage to resemble rival website Twitter, with a "stream" of regularly updated friend information, which caused a furore among users.
Despite the uproar, the redesign remains and, according to a blog written by Facebook chief operational officer Sheryl Sandberg yesterday, the facelift provides an good opportunity for advertisers.
Sandberg said on average Facebook users have 120 friends, which can be split up into three different groups: reciprocal, direct and active.
Reciprocal friends engage in two-way conversation and only account for about five of the average user's 120 friends.
Direct communications is generally one way and doesn't always get a response, but accounts for more friends, on average about nine.
The last group of active communicators represent a potential advertising opportunity. Active communication, which is achieved by the "streaming" Facebook redesign, where information is shared with a larger number of friends, allows targeted ads to be screened to users.
With MySpace eclipsed, Facebook's main competition may now come from Twitter. The network has fewer users, last confirmed at around 7m, but has been attracting more attention in the media and among online opinion formers.
Furthermore Twitter, which has also been criticised for its lack of business model, has been attracting the attention advertisers. It was revealed yesterday that a number of major media brands, include Virgin and Universal, were planning to launch Twitter-specific campaigns with the help of a new consultancy group, Twitter Partners.

Ruling on calling a child Adam
What is the ruling on calling a child Adam? Is it mustahabb or not?
I heard that everyone has a share of his name, so what is the person's share of his name in this case? Does calling a child Adam come under the heading of imitating the non-Arabs?
Etiquette of naming children
Guidelines on the type of imitation of the mushrikeen that is haraam
Firstly: calling a child Adam is something that is acceptable in Islam and there is nothing wrong with it, because Adam (peace be upon him) was one of the Prophets, and calling children by the names of the Prophets comes under the heading of giving names that are good and are recommended. It says in Kashshaaf al-Qinaa' (3/26):
It is good to give children the names of the Prophets, such as Ibraaheem, Nooh, Muhammad, Saalih and so on. End quote.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
There was a difference of scholarly opinion as to whether it is makrooh to give children the names of Prophets. There are two views, the first of which is that it is not makrooh. This is the view of the majority and is the correct view. The second view is that it is makrooh.
End quote from Tuhfat al-Mawdood (p. 1 27)
Please see also the answer to question no. 7180.
Calling a child Adam does not come under the heading of imitating the non-Arabs, because this name has been known among the Muslims throughout the ages and in different regions and countries, with no objection. Among the scholars of hadith there are some who had the name Adam, such as Adam ibn Sulaymaan, Adam ibn Abi Iyaas, Adam ibn 'Ali, Adam ibn al-Hakam, and others.
For more information on the guidelines on the kind of resemblance to the mushrikeen that is prohibited, please see the answer to question no. 108996
Secondly:
Names may have an impact on that to which they are given. For this and other reasons it is Islamically prescribed to choose good names. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Because names have meanings, it is wise that there should be a proper connection between the meaning of the names and the object that is carrying the name. It should not be the case that the meaning is not suited to the object and there is no connection between the meaning and the object, because this is what is decreed by the Most Wise, and reality testifies to that. Indeed names have a great impact on the objects to which they are applied, and the objects that carry these names will definitely be influenced by these names, whether these names are good or ugly, whether they refer to meanings of lightness or heaviness, kindness or cruelty.
End quote from Zaad al-Ma'aad (2/307)
But that is not always the case and is not an unchanging principle that applies to every single name and every single person who is named. You may come across a bad person whose name is one of the best of names, or you may come across a righteous man whose name is not as it should be. Rather that is an opinion based on the reflection of those scholars who mentioned it: that what is usually the case among people is that there should be some kind of a connection between the name and the one to whom it is given.
The main point is that what matters is the character of the one to whom the name is given, and not only his name; he may or may not have a share of his name. Allah, may He be exalted, does not look at a man's name or his colour or lineage, or his outward appearance, status or wealth; rather He looks at his deeds and his heart.
And Allah knows best.
Is it permissible to call a child Binyameen?
Names whose use is forbidden
He wants to name his son Najeeb – does he have the right to call his son Najeeb?
Does continually passing wind invalidate wudoo'?
Will a woman who does not wear hijaab go to Hell?
Description of wudoo'

As you know, each succeeding generation of products and services is increasingly co-designed by you, and the internet is the primary tool. However, what are the tools to use when it comes to co-designing your next home, workplace, building, block, community…?
Enter Google Sketch-Up – and yes, the downloadable program is free. Check out the demonstration video here – it's easy to use, and certainly for pro-amateurs (people who know how to teach themselves skills via the internet).
How could this tool be used to turn concept into reality? It'd be fundamental to a beta community, where different members exchange the sketch-up to add different levels of detail, such as letting a landscape pro-amateur add to the streetscape, or a color expert pro-amateur provide some attractive schemes. Of course, soon enough, the tool will be entirely web-based to make this process even easier.
Either way, shouldn't you be part of the key decision-making in what your home, community looks like?


From the mid-19th century through the mid-20th, transit was privately operated, usually running on public rights-of-way (which companies often were obligated to maintain), charging a government-regulated fare. This model was hugely profitable for decades, until it wasn't.
The causes for transit's decline are many, but rising incomes, suburbanization, and of course a much faster competitor in the automobile and highway system are among them. At that point, which ran from the 1930s to the 1960s depending on where you were in the United States, the private sector abandoned transit and the public sector took over.
Over the past half century, US transit under public ownership has seen an enormous and growing per passenger subsidy. The debate over the merits of subsidy has become partisan.

What Are Derivational Morphemes?
An Introduction to Punctuation
Humanities › English
Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms

by Richard Nordquist
Dr. Richard Nordquist is professor emeritus of rhetoric and English at Georgia Southern University and the author of several university-level grammar and composition textbooks.
When you're talking about biology, morphology is defined as the branch of study that deals with the form and structure of organisms and their unique structural features. Linguists often think of language as a living thing because, like a biological life form, it is reshaped by external forces acting on its structure and also changes over time. Linguistic morphology, then, is the study of how words are formed and how they relate to other words in a common language. Much the same way a biologist might study the phenomenon of metamorphosis, a linguist might study a word and its component parts to learn how its structure and meaning have evolved. In grammar, a derivational morpheme is an affix—a group of letters added before the beginning (prefix) or after the end (suffix)—of a root or base word to create a new word or a new form of an existing word.
Adding Derivational Morphemes
Adding a derivational morpheme often changes the grammatical category or part of speech of the root word to which it is added. For example, adding "ful" to the noun beauty changes the word into an adjective (beautiful), while replacing the "e" with "er" at the end of the verb merge changes it into a noun (merger). The form of a word that results from adding a derivational morpheme is known as a derived word or a derivative.
You can add derivational morphemes to free morphemes, which are those words that can't be divided into smaller component parts and retain meaning. Most one-syllable words in the English language are free morphemes. For instance, in the sentence: "I hit the man on his head," each of the words is a free morpheme that can't be broken down into smaller parts. To give the sentence a more precise meaning, I could toss in a derivational morpheme. By adding the prefix "fore" to the word "head" the reader now knows which part of the head the man was hit on. Not only does it give the precise location of the injury, it indicates a greater potential for harm since the forehead is a very sensitive part of the human anatomy.
You can also add more than one derivational morpheme to a root word to create several different meanings. For example, the verb "transform" consists of the root word "form" and a derivational morpheme, the prefix "trans." By adding the derivational morpheme "ation" as a suffix, "transform" becomes the noun "transformation." But you don't have to stop there. By adding another derivational morpheme suffix "al" after "ation," you can create the adjective "transformational."
Inflectional Morphemes vs. Derivational Morphemes
Inflectional morphemes define certain aspects pertaining to the grammatical function of a word. There are only eight inflectional morphemes in the English language—and they're all suffixes. The two inflectional morphemes that can be added to nouns are -'s (apostrophe + s) to indicate the possessive case and -es to indicate the plural case. The four inflections that can be added to verbs are -(e)d to indicate past tense, -ing to indicate the present participle, -en, to represent the past participle, and –s, for the third person singular. The two inflections can be added to adjectives are: -er, for the comparative and -est, for the superlative.
Unlike inflectional affixes, the potential number of derivational affixes in the English language is limited only by the scope of the vocabulary of a given speaker or writer. As a result, it would impossible to create a comprehensive list of derivational morphemes but we can look at a few representative examples. In American English when suffixes such as "-ize" or "-ful" are added to a noun, the noun becomes the corresponding verb, as in cannibalize, vaporize, mesmerize, helpful, playful, thoughtful, and so on. When the suffix "-ize" is added to an adjective, the words are transformed into verbs: realize, finalize, vitalize, etc.
Some Morphemes are Both Inflectional and Derivational
Meanwhile, some inflectional morphemes, specifically -ed, -en, -er, -ing, and -ly, can take on on characteristics of derivational morphemes. For example, the suffix -er can function as both an inflectional and a derivational morpheme. In its inflectional capacity, -er is added to adjectives to indicate the comparative as in "thicker," describing something that has additional mass.
As a derivational morpheme, -er gets a lot of use in the production of forming new nouns. Such morphemes when attached to root verbs form nouns such as "farmer" to describe someone who performs the action indicated by the verb. When -er is added to a root adjective, a noun is formed: as in homesteader, which describes someone in terms of the quality denoted by the adjective. When -er is added to a nominal root noun, the meaning of the resulting noun is incorporated in the modified word. Take the word "freighter" for example. The root word "freight" has been modified, however, the definition of the new noun "freighter"—a type of vessel used to transport freight—retains the quality denoted by the original noun.

Q: ¿Qué puedo hacer para que mi código funcione de manera correcta y no se termine tan abruptamente? Estoy intentando crear un switch para un juego, pero soy nuevo haciendo código, hasta ahora el código responde a ciertas partes, pero se termina de ejecutar abruptamente y no consigo que realice algunas actividades antes de que se finalice.
El código que tengo hasta ahora es el siguiente:
import java.util.Scanner;

class Main {
    public static void Menu() {
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
        String op1 = null;
        String op2 = null;
        System.out.println("Welcome to cat & mouse game.");
        System.out.println("Would you like to play? y/n.");

    if(op1 !="y" || op1!="n") {
    do {

        op1 =keyboard.nextLine();

        //for(int i=0; i<5;i++) {
            switch(op1) {
            case "y":
                System.out.println("Introduce the coordinates to find the mouse");

    keyboard.close();
    }

    //System.out.println("Invalid character");

    //return;

}

}

A: Tu problema esta en el ultimo while. Va a valer false siempre pues comparas el objeto Scanner con un String.
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
.......
}while(keyboard.equals("q"));

Sustituyelo por
}while(!keyboard.nextLine().equals("q"));

We got a problem with my halogen kitchen lights that required to be handled by a professional. Observing through YP reviews I decided on Aussie electricians and gave him a call. He asked a few queries then set a time and date that worked for me and he showed up on time and ready to work. Of course, like most stuff in my house it was not simple but these people were able to identify the problem, plan a course of action, refer with me about the choices and then fix the issue. It was a great job, great price with friendly and curious service. Aussie electricians were very knowledgeable Electricians. We would recommend him anytime for sure. Thank you again.

Protokół (Le procès-verbal) – debiutancka powieść J. M. G. Le Clézia z 1963 roku. Pisarz miał wtedy 23 lata. Otrzymała Nagrodę Renaudot w 1963 roku. Po polsku wydana przez PIW w 1965 roku.

Fabuła
Bohaterem jest Adam Pollo, samotnik żyjący na marginesie społeczeństwa. Z powodu długich włosów i brody ma wygląd żebraka. Pollo był kiedyś studentem, ale teraz cierpi na amnezję. Nie wie, czy jest dezerterem z wojska, czy może uciekinierem ze szpitala psychiatrycznego.

Włamuje się do pustej willi nad morzem. Z rzadka wybiera się do miasteczka po niewielkie zakupy (papierosy, herbatniki, nawet piwo). Wkrótce brak kontaktu z ludźmi wpływa na niego jak narkotyk, doświadcza innych sposobów istnienia: widzi świat jak pies albo jak szczur. W tych stanach wzmożonej świadomości w jego mózgu powstaje przerażający świat oślepiających halucynacji. Pewnego dnia Adam przemawia do grupy ludzi w miasteczku. Jego denerwująca retoryka prowadzi do jego aresztowania i zamknięcia w zakładzie psychiatrycznym. Tam zaczyna się przesłuchanie.
