My husband eats sandwiches every day for lunch. Usually lunch meat sandwiches with a different sauces to make them different. All in all, there isn't much variety but for the occasional egg salad. Then I saw tuna on sale.
I had forgotten about tuna.
We used to eat it all the time. I was never a huge fan of it but I ate it anyways. My husband though, loves it.
So we bought tuna. He loves it and also loves that he has another choice for lunch now.
I told him this was kinda like a Waldorf salad but with tuna. He loved it! My daughter put hers on lettuce or a wrap. That is totally the way to go. Little tuna appetizers.
Combine mayo, celery, nuts, onion, relish and sugar. Stir in tuna and apple. Spread on toast with lettuce or scoop onto lettuce leaves.

Liar Game Episode 5 recap
Only November 4, 2014 July 28, 2018 episode recap
Side dish: It's fall, which means it's time to eat every possible variation on pumpkin flavour. If you've ever wondered what Bakeable Pumpkin Pudding flavoured Kit Kats taste like, now's your chance to find out. Buy them on JBox and report back to me immediately!
As loan shark Jo Dal Goo (Jo Jae Yoon) sneaks away with Nam Da Jung's winnings from "Liar Game" in order to pay back her debt, he gets a call from genius convict Ha Woo Jin (Lee Sang Yoon). Woo Jin quickly figures out what Dal Goo has done and shows up at his office to confront him. They argue over who is screwing over Da Jung more, but Woo Jin is taken aback to find out that Da Jung's current situation is a result of her father borrowing money to invest in L Company.
The next morning, Da Jung wakes up in a panic, only to find that Dal Goo has locked up the money case more securely. As she gets ready for work at the coffee shop, "Liar Game" host Kang Do Young (Shin Sung Rok) calls Da Jung, and forces her to do a magazine photo shoot instead, as promotion for "Liar Game".
Do Young not only manages every aspect of the photo shoot (Da Jung ends up in a very innocent looking dress), but also gives her the clothes from the shoot. Da Jung finally gets suspicious of his intentions when he invites her to dinner at his house, but it turns out that he's also invited Woo Jin. At dinner, Da Jung is flabbergasted to discover that her wine costs $13,000 a bottle, but Do Young explains that this vintage was the result of a deadly heat wave in France in 1947. When Da Jung nervously questions Woo Jin's absence, Do Young urges her to call him.
Woo Jin is, of course, not at dinner, but instead meeting reporter Goo Ja Young (Choi Yoon So) on a rooftop, where she reveals that Da Jung's father's debt was a result of Woo Jin's revenge. They speculate on Do Young's motives in uniting them in "Liar Game", but their conversation is cut short by a call from Da Jung. Woo Jin is surprised to find that she's at Do Young's and Do Young readily admits that this was his method of getting Woo Jin to come to dinner.
Do Young goes on to reveal Woo Jin's past, including Da Jung's own similarity to Woo Jin's empathetic mother. Before Da Jung can get properly weepy about this sad story, Woo Jin walks in, and sits down. His eye is caught by a painting in the corner, but he asks Do Young about the criteria for selecting contestants instead. Do Young bluntly points out that they took into account the contestants' dire circumstances, since the more desperate they are for money, the more entertaining the show.
Walking back from dinner, Woo Jin asks Da Jung how she would feel if someone was responsible for her father's situation. Da Jung, thinking of Woo Jin's reaction to his mother's suicide, responds that she'd be angry enough to want revenge. Woo Jin is visibly stricken, but says nothing.
At the next taping of the show, Dal Goo shows up and cuts the line for joining the audience. He's recognized by one of Da Jung's fans, and steals the fan's handmade sign. At the taping, Do Young reintroduces the remaining nine players. Woo Jin, for his part, is in a car with Ja Young, looking for the eliminated players from the last round. They decide to meet up with Lee Myun Jin, one of the players who has disappeared since the last round.
The game site turns out to be a shopping mall, where Do Young explains the rules of the Reinstatement Game. Each player must accumulate the highest number of stars from other players. After ten rounds, the player with the lowest number is eliminated. Players must give three stars per round to someone other than themselves, and are allowed to use $300,000 in game money to buy objects in the mall, or make deals with other players. Back in the show audience, Dal Goo is busy texting the game details to Woo Jin.
At the game site, Da Jung is already helpless without Woo Jin, and decides to make a deal with the other contestants to share the winnings at the end of the game. She includes Woo Jin in this pact, and they agree to start in the next round, since they've already decided to throw out Jamie (Lee El), the villain from the last game.
Woo Jin and Ja Young go to the dilapidated apartment block that Lee Myun Jin lives in, and find her apartment mostly empty, her dog abandoned. The local security guard spins them a story about how she packed up and took off, but Woo Jin sees through the lie, and demands to see the record of cars entering and leaving the apartment block. He spots one that has no record of leaving, and sends Ja Young to the police to find out to whom the vehicle is registered. As they leave, Woo Jin gets a text from Dal Goo, reporting on the game.
Back at the game, Jamie is already sowing discord among the players that have agreed to cooperate. She suggests they all make speeches about their circumstances, and when it's Da Jung's turn, she shows them photographs of what appears to be Da Jung receiving special favours from Do Young. The players turn on Da Jung, as Jamie laughs in her face.
Woo Jin meanwhile, has tracked down the mysterious car to an abandoned office. He finds a paper sticking out of the shredder with the logo of L Company. Before he can do anything about it, he's knocked unconscious.
Back at the game site, Da Jung is ostracized by the rest of the group. Jamie proposes a deal to get the two of them through to the next round. Both of them will give each other three stars every round, thus ensuring their final survival. Da Jung immediately decides to trust her and agrees.
At the studio, "Liar Game" PD, Lee Yoon Joo (Cha Soo Yun), asks Do Young if he had anything to do with the photographs in Jamie's possession, and he easily admits that he gave them to her, because it made the game more fun. As he walks away for a phone call, Yoon Joo nervously watches him through the camera as he laughs creepily.
At the first evaluation, Da Jung gives her stars to Jamie, only to realize she's been betrayed again when Jamie gets six stars and she gets none. Jamie reminds her that it's the "Liar Game", after all, and that she gave her stars to Choi Sung Joon (Lee Shi Hoo) instead.
At the police station, Ja Young asks about Woo Jin's case, his actions with the CEO of L Company. According to the detective, Woo Jin dangled the CEO off a cliff to give him a taste of his mother's despair.
Woo Jin awakens to find himself in the same situation, held up by a rope as he dangles off the edge of a building in a chair. At the same time, the reinstatement game continues as Da Jung fails to accumulate any stars, and Jamie remains in the lead.
As Da Jung despairs over her fate, she's approached by one of the other players, who explains that the rest of them all made the same deal she did with Jamie, but Jamie agreed to betray Da Jung so that Da Jung would lose for sure. In exchange, the other players each gave her $50,000, and signed a contract with their "Liar Game" app, thus ensuring that they were bound to do as Jamie said.
Dal Goo attempts to call Woo Jin, but since he's hanging off the side of a building, he's unavailable. Lucky for Da Jung, Woo Jin manages to escape his predicament, and finally answers the phone.
Back at the game site, Jamie makes a bet with Da Jung to give her all of her stars if she can win a simple card game. Da Jung agrees to play, putting up half of her prize money as her side of the bet. Since everyone on the planet except for Da Jung knows this is going to end badly, the fact that she wins a few rounds is a bit of a surprise. Regardless, Da Jung loses the last round, just as Woo Jin arrives at the entrance of the game site.
Da Jung's stupidity has long passed the point of comical, and it's hard not to want to smack her upside her head, when she repeatedly makes the same mistakes. Instead of learning the lesson that Jamie is not to be trusted, Da Jung continues to get into situations that anyone with any sense would avoid. When she agreed to play the card game with Jamie, I almost threw something at my screen.
Leaving Da Jung aside, given that Woo Jin is supposed to be a genius at understanding human nature, it seems a bit weird that he appears to be dancing to Do Young's tune. It's almost as if Woo Jin is a really smart mouse trapped in Do Young's maze (which I guess makes Da Jung the cheese? You'll have to pardon my tortured metaphors here).
That said, given that I have little sympathy for either of our main characters, it's pretty impressive that I continue to find "Liar Game" interesting. The games themselves are neither here nor there, but figuring out the mystery and watching twists as they come is pretty entertaining, as is the blandly psychopathic Do Young and scheming villainess, Jamie.
Keep it up, "Liar Game"!
In the meantime, here are a few pictures of gloomy Woo Jin being gloomy.

A vineyard designated wine is a rare beast for Cougar Crest - a winery known for making most of its bottlings from estate fruit sourced from Stellar Vineyard, Cougar Hills Vineyard, and Golden's Legacy Vineyard. All of these vineyards are within the Walla Walla AVA. The results in this wine are favorable overall, and I found the wine improved after being open over night.
As reported in our Walla Walla Spring Release 2007 report, Cougar Crest has opened a second label called Walla Walla River Winery. This winery's initial releases are a dry Riesling, a Viognier, a Sauvignon Blanc, a red blend, and a Syrah. The winery is located at Cougar Crest's old facility at the airport.
Chukar cherries, herbal notes, and baking spices wind through the nose. On the taste, tart and loaded with cherries. Overall, a bit thinner on the mid-palate than I want it to be.

The new national reservation system for Boundary Waters permits opened Wednesday, Jan. 30, and then promptly crashed, with the U.S. Forest Service saying they will set a new date for permits to become available.
Reservations for Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness permits were moved for the 2019 season to the recreation.gov site, the same site used for reservations at national parks across the country.
"Due to technical difficulties, reservations for Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness are closed. We are diligently working to correct the problem. Please check back for status updates," a message on the site said.
Some local businesses around the federal wilderness that depend on permits for their customers warned the Forest Service that the rush of applications for the permits, now all awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, would overwhelm the site. That appears to be what happened.
The Forest Service and private contractor in charge of the site discovered a problem with how the national system servers were distributing traffic to the site, which resulted in the inability of many visitors to make reservations. Several people were successful in making reservations for permits while others could not access the system at all. Once the Forest Service became aware of the situation, the decision was made to stop the sale of BWCAW permits.
"Superior National Forest staff worked closely with the contractor over the past year, including time during the recent government furlough, to ensure the system was ready and provided everything necessary to assure success," Superior National Forest officials said in a statement Wednesday afternoon, adding that the private contractor and Forest Service "are diagnosing the exact cause of the technical difficulties, carefully identifying how to fix the problems, and developing a detailed strategy to reopen the permit process in the near future. As soon as possible, we will identify a new date for BWCAW quota permits to become available for reservation, but only after we feel confident the malfunction experienced today has been corrected."
More than 100,000 people visit the BWCAW between May 1 and Sept. 30 each year, the period during which permits are limited. The Forest Service this year eliminated a lottery system used to award about 42,000 of those permits in past years.

Q: Rails 4 - event to run code after a partial is rendered I have a js.erb file that is called with ajax through a controller action.  The js.erb file renders a partial.  Inside the partial is a data attribute that is generated based from the model.  I need a way to run code only after the partial is rendered because the code is using information in the data attribute.
items_controller.rb
  def remove_tag
    @item = Item.find_by_id(params[:id])
    //code to remove tag from item
    @item.save
    respond_to do |format|
      format.js
      @item.reload
    end
  end

remove_tag.js.erb
$("#taglist").html('<%= escape_javascript(render partial: "items/tag_list", locals: {item: @item}) %>');
//the code below needs to be run after the above partial is rendered
$('#add-tag').rules("add", {
  tagUniqueness: $('#taglist').data('tag-list').split(', ')
});

_tag_list.html.erb
<div id="taglist" data-tag-list="<%= item.all_tags_list %>">
  //more html
</div>

The way it is now, the .rules method is using html data that was there before the partial updates it.

A: This type of functionality would lend itself to callbacks in javascript/jquery...

A callback function is executed after the current effect is 100% finished.

We used callbacks for executing functions after ajax loads (which had to remain asynchronous). They are highly effective if you can get them to work.
There's a great reference here:
$("#taglist").html('<%= escape_javascript(render partial: "items/tag_list", locals: {item: @item}) %>').promise().done(function(){
    $('#add-tag').rules("add", {
       tagUniqueness: <%= js @badge.all_tags_list.to_json %>
    });
});

A: To convert hashes or arrays from Ruby to javascript you can use .to_json as JSON basically is a subset of javascript.
$('#add-tag').rules("add", {
  tagUniqueness: <%= js @badge.all_tags_list.to_json %>
});

Luton Business Against Crime
Welcome to the Luton Business Against Crime Disc system
LBAC is a partnership crime reduction initiative aimed at reducing crime and anti-social behaviour and is supported by the Home Office.
The partnership is based on a proven approach adopted in other towns, cities and shopping centres and has been incorporated within the Luton Crime and Disorder Strategy.
Bedfordshire Police, Luton Borough Council and The Mall Luton are keen for the scheme to develop and progress and require the full support of businesses in Luton Town Centre for this to succeed.
This scheme incorporates the retail radio link where businesses are linked via radio to Luton CCTV, Bedfordshire Police Town Centre PCSO, Safer Neighbourhood Teams and The Mall Control Room .
Businesses within the scheme regularly meet to share information and look to exclude persistent offenders from all LBAC stores.
The scheme is run by a co-ordinator that distributes photographs of current offenders to be aware of.
Any incidents relating to these persons are collated by the co-ordinator and the information is shared between the partners with an aim to gaining CBO's and injunctions.
The partnership aims to reduce criminal activity, protect staff from acts of physical violence and verbal abuse, reduce crime losses and generate an improvement in the environment of the community thus creating a safe place to live, work and visit.

Don't fall victim to laptop theft!
Don't Be an Easy Target.
Does this scenario seem like it could happen to you?
"The other day I was running through the airport, late as usual, cell phone in hand and laptop in tow. I'm protective of my gear but not protective enough, as I let my guard down for just a minute and that's all he needed. I was focused on a whole slew of things: missing my flight, reserving a car, preparing for my meeting; and the thief was only focused on one; stealing my laptop.
Studies show that between 40 and 50% of data breaches in the US are caused by lost or stolen laptops, and I'm sure the half a million people whose laptops vanished in airports last year can attest to that.
Thieves don't have schedules, meetings, bosses, or rules to follow like you and I do. They only have two things to focus on: prey on the easiest target and don't steal what can't be sold.
If you don't want your data compromised, don't be an easy target.
I'm sure you're aware that the best way to keep your laptop in your hands is to, well, keep it in your hands. There is no better security than a watchful eye; and since you can't stroll into an airport with a junk yard pit bull at your side (not all people are animal lovers like myself), you have to be the watch dog. Be aware of your belongings, and you'll be much less likely to lose them.
Get a laptop security cable to secure your laptop when you're using it in a crowded area. The amount of laptops that have been stolen right out from under the owner's nose is enough to make a grown man wince. Using a computer lock is an easy and cost effective way to deter opportunity theft, allowing your mind to fully focus on the task at hand. Like singing in the shower, you'll find it strangely liberating.
Applying a deterrent label to your laptop is another easy and cost effective way to show thieves that you're not an easy target. To a thief, the phrase "Tracking and Recovery Protection" reads the same as "You Can't Sell Me, neiner neiner neiner". And thieves, tempting as it may be for them, won't steal what they can't sell.
Even the most vigilant security sometimes gets compromised. Laptop Tracking and Recovery Software has come a long way in recent years. This software allows you to GEO-locate your stolen laptop, remotely delete files, retrieve important files and track the thief down!
Many things are better in layers: Lasagna, parfait, chocolate fudge cake… and security. You wouldn't just eat the cherry off the top of the sundae and ignore the rest (I know I wouldn't). So don't take just one approach to laptop security and think you're in the clear. A layered approach is the best approach.
Call us at (800) 466-7636 for all of your laptop security needs. With 25 years in the industry, we'd be more than happy to share our knowledge with you.

Judi Sheppard Missett Receives Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award
Innovative global fitness pioneer Judi Sheppard Missett receives Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award.
Carlsbad, CA, April 17, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Thursday, April 4th, global dance fitness pioneer Judi Sheppard Missett was presented with the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce Lifetime CBAD Award by President & CEO of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, Bret Schanzenbach during the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce Business Awards (CBAD Awards) ceremony. Hosted at the Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa, the Lifetime CBAD Award honors Sheppard Missett's 48-year contribution to Carlsbad, wherein she has not only introduced customers to a healthier, happier way of life through fitness, but her company has also created jobs and commerce in the city.
KUSI News Anchor Lauren Phinney acted as master of ceremonies at the event that also recognized other local business owners for their service to the community with awards such as "The Best Place to Work," "The Risktaker," and, notably, "Women Championing Women." The ceremony also marked the installation of the 2019 Board of Directors led by City of Carlsbad Mayor Matt Hall.
"This is truly such an honor – and so unexpected. No, really, this was a total surprise!" said Sheppard Missett, who was in attendance to act as keynote speaker. She went on to say, "An award is never really about me. I'm fortunate to have a team of incredibly smart, dedicated people around me who bring bright ideas and a wealth of experience to almost any situation."
While her first classes were taught in Chicago in 1969, Sheppard Missett and the Jazzercise family have called Carlsbad home for decades since the first corporate offices were opened in Carlsbad Village in 1977. In 2019, the international company that boasts more than 8,000 instructors and 3,000 locations worldwide celebrates its 50th year in business – an industry first.
Asked about the connection between Carlsbad and the Jazzercise family, Sheppard Missett admitted, "We may be a global company, but this will always be home."

Lottery Wins That Were Never Claimed
Published on 2nd December 2020
The National Lottery is played by many people across the United Kingdom, and it has resulted in some huge winners. Not only that, but it has also generated money for various projects around the country as well, making it one of the more respected forms of legal gambling. However, it's also the case that sometimes people don't really know that they've won. This results in winnings being unclaimed and often just lingering around for a period of time.
The rule of the National Lottery is that should a valid claim not be made within 180 days of the draw date, the prize and any interest that it has generated will be forfeited. In this circumstance, it will go towards National Lottery Projects across the UK. This year has been quite the trying one with regard to the onrush of precautions in response to coronabirus being taken by the Government. Much of the funding from the National Lottery has gone towards communities affected by the pandemic in 2020.
Yet, how much currently remains unclaimed from the National Lottery? And what are some of the biggest wins that nobody ever came forward to claim as their own? Plus, is it mainly huge wins that pass by without people claiming the money or do smaller wins also miss out on being claimed?
Current 2020 Unclaimed Lottery Money
Prize Unclaimed
Area Bought
Last Date to Claim
Lotto £1,000,000 Birmingham 18/01/2021
Thunderball £500,000 Ashfield District 25/01/2021
EuroMillions £87,534.10 West Tyrone 27/01/2021
Lotto £1,000,000 West Lancashire 28/01/2021
Lotto £1,000,000 Oldham 04/02/2021
EuroMillions £1,000,000 Walsall 17/03/2021
EuroMillions £1,000,000 Belfast 31/03/2021
EuroMillions £1,000,000 North Somerset 21/04/2021
EuroMillions £104,782.40 Wealdon 28/04/2021
EuroMillions £1,000,000 Coventry 05/05/2021
At things stand at the moment, there are several large lottery wins that have gone unclaimed in 2020. These are shown in the table above.
This means that, at the time of writing, there is over £8 million in prize funds that have been left unclaimed within the past six months. That is nothing in comparison to a little bit earlier on in 2020, though.
A September deadline for a South Ayrshire EuroMillions winner who struck the jackpot of £57,869,670 on March 17 was reported in August. If that was left unclaimed on its September 13 deadline, then it will have all gone to the National Lottery Projects fund instead.
The same is true of the £8 million+ waiting to be claimed as noted in the table above if players don't come forth with their winning tickets. But is this a common occurrence? And why would people not keep a hold of their ticket and keep a check on the results? Plus, if players do know they've won, why wouldn't they come forward and claim the money?
£125 Million Left Unclaimed in 2018
A report last year suggested that over £125 million in both Lottery and scratchcard prizes went unclaimed in 2018. Over half of the million-pound prizes were from tickets purchased in the capital city of London, and many of the prizes were for the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker game. However, these weren't all huge jackpot wins. As it happens, the prizes ranged from millions of pounds to just a couple of quid.
Unfortunately, many of the UK Millionaire Maker competition wins could potentially be unclaimed due to the winners of such not knowing they've hit the big one. This raffle, which EuroMillions and Lotto ticket holders are automatically entered into when they purchase a ticket, may be something that simply passes them by without another thought. It guarantees at least one player will win £1 million on every single draw, but maybe it means that players aren't really checking their tickets correctly and carefully when those draws occur.
The 2018-19 period witnessed over £4.1 billion being won on the National Lottery by its players, and the unclaimed prizes made up 3% of the total, which was passed on to good causes around the country. However, the 3% figure was a rise of 2.1% compared with the previous 2017-18 period.
Potentially the big issue coming from the unclaimed Millionaire Maker competition, is that people aren't totally sure how to check it. The code on the bottom half of a standard Lotto or EuroMillions ticket is what you need to use for checking to see if you're a winner. It consists of four letters and five numbers, and this code needs to match the raffle code randomly pulled from the draw.
That being said, the operator of the National Lottery, Camelot said that once it publishes how much money is left up for grabs, a number of people contact them directly to make their claim.
Reasons Why Lottery Wins Go Unclaimed
There could be a variety of reasons as to why lottery wins, big or small, go unclaimed. The main reason behind it is that tickets are purchased and then left behind in a drawer somewhere, completely forgotten by the player. Another big reason is that players don't actually realise that they have won and so don't come forward to claim the prize. Of course, this is primarily speculation on Camelot's part.
A spokesperson for the company said that it's reasonable to assume that cases have occurred with lottery tickets being lost. That's why it has placed quite the heavy emphasis on playing the game online rather than with physical tickets. This cancels out forgotten tickets and lost tickets, as if you ever win, you're sent an email notification to inform you of such and your tickets are completely electronic.
It does seem like a silly thing to repeat, but it's also the case that some people aren't aware they're involved in the Millionaire Maker raffle draw. With it, players just buy a EuroMillions or Lotto ticket with their numbers on it for the specific draw. It's not uncommon for such players to pretty much bypass the raffle numbers and letters at the bottom of the ticket. This is why there are so many £1,000,000 prizes going unclaimed from that particular draw.
One other thing to mention about people not claiming their prize money is that some people simply take the decision not to obtain small wins. If someone plays the Lotto and only wins a couple of pounds, they might think it's not worth the hassle of going to an outlet to cash in the winnings. Instead, they simply let it circulate into the National Lottery Projects fund.
It may also be the case that the person who has purchased the winning ticket has passed away prior to the draw being made. While this is a rare circumstance, what would happen in this instance? Well, if a family or relative gets their hands on a physical winning ticket in this scenario, there's very little to stop them taking it to a retail store and claiming the win for themselves. Of course, it's not the same if the player had an online account and bought their tickets through such. It's likely that unless someone found out about it and contacted The National Lottery, the winnings would remain unclaimed and go towards good causes in the end.
And it's not just the United Kingdom where lottery wins go unclaimed. In the United States, the 2016-17 period saw $2.89 billion (£2.18 billion) go unclaimed in lottery wins, while in Australia, the Victoria Revenue Office holds AUD$567 million (£312 million) in unclaimed prizes as of 2019.
Unclaimed Record Lottery Jackpots Around the World
It's not so uncommon then for lotteries around the world to witness unclaimed prizes of large amounts. But what are some of the largest jackpots that have gone without anyone coming forward to claim them?
Well, back in 2011, a $77 million (£58 million) lottery win in Georgia, USA went without anyone stepping forward to claim the funds. As in the UK, the Georgia state lottery provides players with 180 days to be able to claim a win. However, the lucky winner was never found in this case. A Powerball ticket from June 29 of that year wasn't handed over by the deadline. However, the US has a different way of proceeding with unclaimed prizes. The $77 million jackpot win was therefore returned proportionately to each of the states participating in that particular drawing. Therefore, 42 US states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands all got a share of the $77 million for participating in the Powerball.
Back in the United Kingdom, and a £63.8 million EuroMillions jackpot win was never claimed in 2012. The National Lottery made the announcement that the winning ticket was purchased from a shop located in the Stevenage and Hitchin area of Hertfordshire. However, despite various announcements and an ongoing search for the winner, nobody ever came forward to claim the huge jackpot win. This remains as the biggest unclaimed lottery jackpot ever, with nobody venturing forth within the 180-day period to claim it. Of course, the money and the interest that it managed to generate within that time period went to the good causes of the National Lottery.
In Europe, one of the largest unclaimed lottery wins occurred in Spain, when the winner of a €4.7 million La Primitiva lottery wasn't able to be found. Also taking place in 2012, the winner of such remains quite the confusing topic to this day. Authorities have never been able to determine whether or not a genuine ticket holder has made their way forward. That's nothing compared to Germany though, where an €11.3 million win on the 6/49 lottery wasn't ever claimed. Taking place in April of 2017, by the time the second anniversary of that win had arrived, still nobody had come forward to pick it up. The expiry date of that win stretched to April 2020, by which time the funds still hadn't been sought out by a winning ticket holder.
And while it's true that Canadian lottery winners do seem to be much more careful about checking their tickets than Americans, that didn't stop a CAD$14.9 million (£7.1 million at the time) win from going unclaimed in 2006.
Unclaimed Lottery Wins For Lower Prizes
Generally speaking, the biggest wins unclaimed are frequently reported in the news. And even via the National Lottery website, it's only the largest unclaimed wins that are reported by Camelot. However, it stands to reason that the lower unclaimed wins aren't reported there. Why? Because there are probably so many of them that it doesn't bear posting. As noted earlier, some people choose not to claim such low wins because they can't be bothered with a couple of pounds here and there.
Yet, it would take a lot of time and effort to list unclaimed small wins on the website and seek out the winners of such minimal amounts. These also aren't reported on in the news because who finds a £2 or even £10 lottery win without a claimant all that exciting? On the other hand, someone missing out on £10 million, for example, is a whole other ball game. Finding a bigger winner is much more primary when it comes to the National Lottery.
Furthermore, there's likely to be much more of an uproar if a player forgets they've bought a lottery ticket and they've won £10 million without being sought out, in comparison to if they'd only won £10 and weren't aware of it. Obviously, the former of these amounts is a lot larger than the latter, and the National Lottery wants to be seen as actively seeking out the big winners. This puts both it and Camelot in a positive light with players, who are likely to want to continue buying tickets each week.
If they chose to spend time and effort on seeking out winners of small amounts, there's the potential that players would see it simply as a waste of time. And at the end of the day, who's really going to believe that something as big as The National Lottery would really seek out the winner of a £2 lottery ticket? In today's world, it's just not something that would legitimately happen.

One of the primary rules on the subject of kitchen reworking is to know your price range. So I contacted Modern Kitchen they usually helped me with planning out what the renovation would include. We did a whole overhaul of the place and now I even have a stupendous kitchen that I'm not ashamed of. I love my new counters, cupboards and flooring! LED beneath-cabinet and in-cabinet lighting from Ikea cost about $500 and added polish to the small, remodeled kitchen. In the early phases, it is very important think about the actual fact that you will need a make shift kitchen throughout the renovation. Busting the finances is among the many most feared yet widespread factor to occur when kitchen remodeling. After you identify your finances, there are nonetheless loads of questions it's essential to reply earlier than starting any kitchen renovation project.
I do not even know the way individuals manage life during in depth kitchen renovations that take months— just one month on this destruction was sufficient to cause unimaginable nervousness in my life. Whether it's Pinterest, friends' properties, HGTV or other home reworking websites, it is best to never need to settle with regards to kitchen inspiration. Once you have addressed the structural and providers (heating, lighting, plumbing and so on) aspects of the kitchen renovation you possibly can then flip your consideration to other elements like choosing counter tops, cabinets and ground coverings.
Renovation ideas for old houses may be planned in order that new objects and appliances could be built-in along with the kitchen's older options, for example your new stainless steel fridge wouldn't seem like misplaced being in the identical kitchen as an old wood-burning stove. Thus, the easiest way to attain the specified kitchen is to take the companies of some reliable custom closet organization. The authentic kitchen featured tile counter tops, a shallow sink, a single-pane window and little counter area. Without these detailed plans, you will be totally lost if you start the renovation. Though that is more pricey, it may still be inside finances depending on the supplies you select. It shapes how a lot may be completed with a kitchen remodel, the supplies available, how much professional assist to name in, and what the ultimate product will seem like, amongst other facets.
You can add the earlier than mentioned gadgets, build a kitchen island with stools for additional seating, add a panoramic window, a slider and deck, or closed in porch. The requirements of individual buildings can play a significant position in dictating design and funds needs. If you're capable of do some of the labor yourself you could possibly remodel your kitchen on a budget. If your kitchen mission calls for cabinets, countertops or extra, we'll be sure you are left more than happy with the top end result.
The modern design and chrome steel appliances have completely transformed the old, closed kitchen into a modern home cooking and entertaining hub. The least costly kitchen flooring material are vinyl and linoleum, they're easy to put in and are available in plenty of colours and patterns. Granite and corian are standard selections, however Quartz, while dear, has been dominating the brand new the kitchen counter industry for the previous couple of years and we do not see that trend going away anytime quickly. This kind of kitchen upgrade will typically embrace DIY initiatives where the shell of the kitchen, such because the floors and ceiling, will stay in tact.

I loved Brian's comment, too, and I am glad he left one. 🙂 Cool guy for doing that!

Боле́слав Русе́цкий (, 23 ноября (по другим сведениям 29 ноября) 1824, Рим — 31 января 1913, Вильно) — польско-литовский художник (художник Литвы), живописец, коллекционер, сын известного художника Канута Русецкого.

Биография
Учился в Виленском дворянском институте, где преподавал его отец, затем на медицинском факультете Санкт-Петербургского университета. В 1843—1850 годах вольным слушателем учился в Академии художеств у Карла Брюллова и Фёдора Бруни. Позднее совершенствовался в Риме. В 1850 году за написанный с натуры портрет ему было присвоено звание свободного художника, в 1853 году за аллегорическое полотно «Соединение Вилии с Неманом» () («Впадение реки Виллии в Неман») — звание академика .

В 1857 году с женой выехал в поездку за границу, посетил Варшаву, Краков, Дрезден, Прагу, Вену, Триест, в 1858—1861 годах жил в Риме, куда не раз возвращался.

По возвращении из Рима обосновался в поместье Яновичи под Белостоком, но после смерти жены в 1866 году переселился в Вильну.

Вернувшись в Вильну, преподавал рисование в прогимназии. Собирал произведения искусства, археологические находки, материалы для истории искусства в Вильне. Состоял в организованном промышленником З. Нагродским в 1897 году комитете по постройке памятника поэту Адаму Мицкевичу в Вильне и приобрёл в Кракове у графа Зыгмунта Пусловского один из трёх экземпляров бюста Мицкевича, отлитых в Париже (автор — краковский скульптор Марцели Гуйский). Проект памятника подготовил краковский архитектор Тадеуш Стрыенский. Работами по монтированию памятника в костёле Святых Иоаннов в Вильне занимался варшавский скульптор Ян Рудницкий. День сотой годовщины рождения Мицкевича 12 (24) декабря 1898 года был отмечен торжественной заупокойной мессой с участием множества виленчан. Памятник был без огласки открыт 6 (18) июня 1899 года. Перед недовольной местной администрацией настоятель костёла Казимир Пацинка оправдывался тем, что памятник сооружён по просьбе сына поэта и это его частное дело.

Завещал Виленскому обществу друзей науки свою библиотеку, архив, коллекцию художественных произведений и пожертвовал 10 тысяч рублей на постройку дом общества в Вильне.

Похоронен на Бернардинском кладбище в Вильнюсе рядом с могилой своего отца, матери, братьев, сестры и жены Стефании, урождённой Карпович (1829—1866). Автор надгробного памятника — назвавшийся в надписи на надгробии его внуком Ольгерд Кухарский, в действительности дальний родственник (у Болеслава Русецкого не было внуков и племянников).

Творчество

Написал несколько картин религиозного содержания: образ Святого Владислава в Кафедральном соборе Святого Станислава и Святого Владислава в Вильне, Святого Казимира — для поиезуицкого костёла в Гродно (1857).

Писал портреты, пейзажи, бытовые и религиозные композиции маслом, акварелью, пастелью. Произведения реалистичны, нередко приближающиеся к натурализму.

Часть творческого наследия хранится в музеях Литвы. Известные работы, хранящиеся в Литовском художественном музее: «Женщина с веером» (1840), «Портрет жены» (1850), «Вильно, Бернардинское кладбище», «Автопортрет» (1852), несколько пейзажей. Ряд произведений Болеслава Русецкого хранится в Национальном музее в Кракове и Национальном музее в Варшаве, а также в Библиотеке Академии наук Литвы имени Врублевских в Вильнюсе.

Danang Lands Direct Flights from Bangkok
Vietnam Golf Expert
April 2016 — Vietnam's central coast is poised to make another move up the leaderboard of great golf destinations thanks to a calculated read by Bangkok Airways.
On May 25, Thailand's second biggest carrier will launch direct flights from Bangkok to Danang, gateway to four of the most impressive courses to have opened in Asia within the last eight years and recipient of more than 4.6 million visitors in 2015.
The hour-and-a-half flight will depart Suvarnabhumi Airport at 11 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The airline will use a 144-seat Airbus 319.
"Given how much of a travel hub Bangkok is, this shapes up to be another significant boon for the Danang area," said Joe Millar, chairman of Golf Coast Vietnam, a tourism consortium anchored by the region's four courses. "And given what we now bring to the table as a golf destination, the timing couldn't be better."
Golf Coast Vietnam became a 'grand slam' of opportunities on March 25, when Ba Na Hills Golf Club (pictured) — the first course designed by former world No. 1 player Luke Donald — officially opened all 18 holes.
Other courses in the region include Colin Montgomerie's Montgomerie Links, Greg Norman's Danang Golf Club and Nick Faldo's Laguna Lang Co.
The quality of Golf Coast Vietnam's courses played a major role in the country being named 2016 Golf Destination of the Year for Asia & Australia at the annual IAGTO Awards last October.
All four courses are less than 45 minutes by car from Danang, portal also to the highest concentration of UNESCO World Heritage sites in Asia, a plethora of international beachfront resorts and an ever-expanding selection of elite spas.
"The beauty of Vietnam's central coast is that it's got so much to offer," said Millar, who also serves as general manager of Danang Golf Club. "Golfers always tell us they love the food, culture, history and scenery as much as the golf."
Bangkok Airways is popular among international tourists who fly to Thailand with its codeshare partners and then use the airline to access neighboring countries.
Danang, which aims to attract more than 5 million visitors this year, is also served by direct international flights from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Siem Reap, Seoul, Hong Kong and several cities in China including Shanghai.

Seeing and killing with police robots
The ending of a spectacular—in many senses of the word—act of violence in Dallas, Tx. this past week came when the police, according to…the police, ended the standoff with the alleged sniper, Micah Johnson, by detonating some kind of device delivered to the suspect by a robot (or what's called a "slamhound" in the fictional universe of William Gibson).
The "targeted killing" of a suspect on "U.S. soil," as opposed to extraterritorial declared or undeclared war zones, where this operation also has clear precedents too, has captivated the attention of scholars and the public. Partly due to the nature of policing close up while 'at a distance,' to borrow from Laura Kurgan's terminology, the event raises many issues about the rules of engagement and the constitutional rights of a suspect—issues that obviously the Dallas police completely skirted, and do not seem too willing to discuss in the aftermath.
The additional fact that the manufacturers of the robot that they sold to the police did not seem to have been designed for this particular use also raises all kinds of issues in regard to the entanglements between design and policing — something else I've been interested in exploring, before or after Dallas. Who are the designers in this particular technology, after all – is it the police itself? And, should designers even work for police? (Something I've addressed elsewhere). Interesting also how the robot moves between the operability of decoding suspicion (as in, removing a suspicious package), and of killing a suspect, and also with such simple ease between the two.
The use of a robot to not simply capture, but to kill a suspect, brings to mind all kinds of fears of automated assassination and potentially the dangers to "innocent bystanders" in such engagements. We should be cognizant, meanwhile that this was a killing performed extrajudicially, after Johnson had been identified as the suspect of having killed five officers, but this has not been well clarified as of yet, I would add, all while there is a well documented history of "friendly fire" incidents (including victims in Orlando at the Pulse nightclub, it appears).
But not to digress. How "targeted" is targeting, really? All of this performative concern over the roboticized future has itself been spectacular, and in ways that happen to render such concern quite hollow, by the way. Perhaps more concern has been shown over the hypothetical police power that is yet to come, and for future alterations to "our" rights, than for the dead at the hands of police or police-inspired killers (such as Omar Mateen in Orlando and George Zimmerman, also in an Orlando suburb, invoking stand-your-ground laws), as proven time and again, in recent and not-so-recent memory. Not to be forgotten, either, that the Johnson case in Dallas presents another troubling example of someone who kills after his time in a military institution (the Army, in this case).
Seperately but not unrelated to the previous, I am especially troubled by the persistent discourse of how automated warfare supposedly brings us the safe, clean, and precise police robot that makes no targeting errors (false, anyway). But this popular discourse omits how such automated warfare –somehow– also happens to continue propagating such socially abhorred and feared figures like a trigger-happy veteran/killer in the vein of Micah Johnson. This is not to say that I know what moved Johnson to do what he did; only to point out a central tension in this problematic promotion of robotically-enhanced warfare.
Much more will need to be studied in the weeks, months, and years ahead. However, I wanted to touch on a question about how "unprecedented" this case was, given how oft the words "first" and "unprecedented" are being thrown around. Anyone familiar with the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia should not be so surprised by this supposed "first". More recently, the outcome of a standoff with Chris Dorner, a Black officer, ended with a robot shooting smoke bombs that burned down the cabin Dorner was hiding in. So, since it was not unprecedented, in effect, how come 'we' (what we?) are caught by surprise, playing catch-up with the ethics and capabilities of the police? Perhaps this raises more questions about the culture around policing with a certain lack of critical memory, than about the policing itself.
In the immediate hours after the news about the already-heroic robot (sarcasm), I started to do a bit of digging. One of the first instances of shooting at a target from a robot I could find can be located in the pages of (where else?) Wikipedia, citing The Hunt for the Engineer: How Israeli Agents Tracked the Hamas Master Bomber by Samuel M. Katz. According to this page, Israeli police remotely shot a fuse to deactivate a car bomb (and instead set off a massive explosion) in 1992.
But perhaps the most interesting document I came across in my search was a research study conducted by the Navy Systems Center in San Diego and published in 2000, which surveyed law enforcement personnel on their perceived needs for robots: "Robotics for Law Enforcement: Beyond Explosive Ordnance Disposal" (pdf), by H. G. Nguyen and J. P. Bott. Maybe what most caught my eye about this report is how the respondents mostly did not perceive a need for robots that would shoot weapons (or deliver, say, an explosive). Or to be more clear, they did not imagine robotic weapons used very frequently, although that does not mean they wouldn't want to have them around, just in case. By contrast, respondents wanted to use the robot more frequently to "see" (with cameras or infrared), as the graphs below show:
I'm curious about these two goals for the robot; one as a 'seeing' entity, and another as a killing machine. These separated endeavours, anticipated more than a decade-and-a-half ago, bring up many questions about the nature of identification and violence. As a relative of mine put it, they did not send a robot to capture or kill, for an example, white supremacist Dylann Roof, the suspect in the mass killing inside a Black North Carolina church. So, thinking about the writing of Simone Browne here, in the very same context of the Black Lives Matter protests that were going on in Dallas in the wake of more police killings this past couple of weeks, it's impossible to separate who becomes targeted by automated or semi-automated killing machines, and who is taken alive, and how are the visual regimes of each sort of operation organized.

With our tree removal services, we take care of cutting the tree down in the most secure and most effective manner. After the tree has safely reached the ground, it will usually be used to make another item.
We would agree that trees of all shapes and sizes can do wonders for the aesthetic value of your Burbank, CA home or office. However, until you are an arborist who works with trimming trees and removing them every day, you do not realize just how dangerous they can be when they near utility lines or pose a risk for falling over at any second.

A large part of their training also involves how to use the various types of safety equipment since this makes a major difference.

Having tree removal service completed by a professional in Burbank, CA, such as USA Tree Service Pros, is one thing all tree owners will need to invest in. A handful of you may find yourself in an emergency situation where a tree must be removed, but the vast majority of you will only need smaller services, such as tree trimming.

To really demonstrate how much we care about customers, we will even show up in the middle of the night or during the weekend for emergency service if your tree is badly damaged or leaning uncontrollably.
Even though customer service is very important, a tree service company in Burbank, CA will be unable to get the job finished without the appropriate tools. If you discover that a tree company does not have both bucket trucks and various types of ladders, they are probably not the best option. Any tree trimming company that knows what they are doing will also use chippers to split the tree up prior to hauling it away. In addition, tree trimming companies must have easy access to a number of pruners and shears as these are what really shape the tree. Lastly, if they promote tree removal services, you will want to ensure they own both chainsaws and stump grinders. The reason companies need to have a stump grinding tool instead of just a chainsaw is they need a way to pull the roots out of the ground. Any arborist employed by our business has access to all of this equipment, and they are properly trained on how to properly use it to get the best results. When you've got contacts or relatives in other regions such as Chattanooga tree trimming, let them know that we present solutions all through the U.S.

Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer And Genetic Testing
Pancreatic Cancer Articles /
Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer Articles March 1, 2021
Every Pancreatic Cancer Patient
Should Consider Genetic Testing
Tony Subia
Cancer which include pancreatic cancer is caused by genetic mutations.
Each cell in your body has a DNA. That DNA contains genes which instructs your body parts on how to function. In a normal process, normal cells will divide and produce an exact gene copy of themselves. Sometimes, an error occurs in the cell-dividing process which causes a "genetic mutation".
Gene mutations happen often and the human body corrects most gene mutations. Mutations can be beneficial or harmful depending upon where within a gene the change happens. However, gene mutations does cause cancer, including pancreatic cancer. There are many types of gene mutations that can have links to specific types of cancer. For example the BRCA gene mutations has direct links to breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
See A List of Gene Mutations and Syndromes Linked To Pancreatic Cancer
Cancer happens from multiple gene mutations over a person's lifetime which is why most types of cancer occur in the older age groups because there are so many more chances to build-up gene mutations over multiple years.
Gene mutations can be inherited which means the mutations are passed from parents to child at birth. Or they can be caused after birth by elements within our environment, unhealthy habits such as smoking, lack of physical activity, and obesity which can lead to Type 2 Diabetes which is considered a major cause of pancreatic cancer.
Studies show that 10 to 15% of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer carry a genetic mutation associated with an increased predisposed risk of pancreatic cancer or other types of cancer. Therefore, it is crucial that pancreatic cancer patients consider having genetic testing to expose certain gene mutations that could predispose offspring to getting pancreatic cancer during their lifetime.
Read More About Genetic Counseling and Genetic Testing
The Ultimate Goal of Genetic Testing
Speaking with a genetic counselor is highly recommended before getting genetic testing because a counselor can ask pertinent questions that may suggest how in-depth gene mutation testing should be performed. The affordability of gene mutation testing is surprisingly more affordable that most people think. The cost of genetic testing can range from less than $100 and can exceed $2,000 depending on how many different gene mutations are testing for.
Genetic testing empowers people that test positive as a carrier of certain gene mutations to warn and educate other direct family members of their suspected possible risk of carrying a gene mutation that could predispose them of the escalated risk. Those that test positive for specific gene mutations should consider medical surveillance programs that would frequent monitoring any for evidence that cancer may exist.
It is crucial to detect pancreatic or any other type of cancer at the earliest time when it is most treatable. ALL PANCREATIC CANCER PATIENTS SHOULD BE GENETICALLY TESTED.
Why Genetic Testing is So Crucial
Over 90% of the types pancreatic cancers are "Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Cancer (PDAC). It has the worst prognosis of all types of cancers with the lowest average 5-year survival rate of only 10%. Because there is no easy method of early detection, only about 10% of cases are discovered early while the cancer is still confined to the pancreas before it has spread to other areas of the body.
When pancreatic cancer is detected at stage 1 while it is still contained within the pancreas, the average 5-year+ survival rate is 39.4% versus just 2.9% when diagnosed at late stage 4. The overall average 5-year survival rate across all stages is 10% which is the worst survival rate of all types of cancer. As a comparison, the average 5-year survival rate is 89.1%
Pancreatic cancer has now passed breast cancer to become the 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths in the America. In 2020, over 57,000 people were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and over 47,000 died. Pancreatic cancer accounts for almost 8% of all cancer deaths and cases appear to be on the rise. Although the average age at diagnosis is about 70 years-old, it is becoming more and more prevalent among younger ages.

Sneha, 11, grew up in destitute conditions in India—where children are more than twice as likely as adults to live in extreme poverty.* Her father earned very little as a fisherman. Education is one of the only ways to work towards a brighter future, but it costs far more than most families like hers can afford.
Then Sneha learned that a family in America—Stephen, Pamela and their daughter Shivani, herself adopted from India as a toddler—were going to sponsor her through Wide Horizons For Children Child Sponsorship program. Their sponsorship would help Sneha's family with a stipend they could use to pay for food and education costs.
For Sneha, the sponsorship meant she could stay in school. For Shivani, it meant meeting her family's sponsored child during a trip back to her own birth country.
Shivani had just turned 15 when she met Sneha for the first time in India.
"Sneha's mother told me many times that she was thankful for my family's support of her education," Shivani says, whose family is likewise grateful to have seen firsthand the impact of their giving.

Design Group Italia has been around since 1968 helping companies design and innovate their physical products.
Like most of our clients, our history was built on the creation of manufactured products, isolated units sold off store shelves, and the only communication with the end user would occur if there was problem put to the customer service helpline. These days, most of our clients have had to face, in some shape or form, the competitive pressure to make their products connected, and become part of an ongoing conversation with their end users, creating a positive user and brand experience. These dumb objects must now become smart and create new forms of value. Taking physical products into the digital world means the digital transformation of business.
Our experience across many consumer markets has taught us to tread wisely and not get blown away with the glory and innovation new technologies can potentially deliver. Adopt only the necessary technologies and do it with sense that is right for your brand. As designers, we find ourselves helping companies find their way in building a product-service ecosystem when physical products go digital.
This white paper on the IOT aims to help the reader reflect on the human centered design challenges and opportunities the future holds. There are already more connected devices than humans on the planet, yet, even with some guided behavior change, it is humans that must remain and feel in control.


Humour is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body. Probably it has descended from the Latin umor meaning body fluid, control human health and emotion.
All people are subject to the emotional process that is called humour and the consequent experiences. The triggers, interpretation, or understanding of humour are variable, making it a very difficult phenomenon to measure.
Western humour theory begins with Plato, who attributed to Socrates in a semi historical dialogue character in the Philebus. He attributed the view that the essence of the ridiculous is an ignorance in the weak, who are thus unable to retaliate when ridiculed. Later in Greek philosophy, Aristotle suggested in the Poetics that an ugliness that does not disgust is fundamental to humour.
In ancient Sanskrit drama, humour is defined as one of the nine principle emotional responses, which can be inspired in the audience by imitations of emotions that the actors perform. Each emotional response was associated with a specific emotional imitation portrayed on stage. In the case of humour, it was associated with amusement.
The terms comedy and satire became synonymous after Aristotle's Poetics was translated into Arabic in the medieval Islamic world. Due to cultural differences, the Arabs disassociated comedy from Greek dramatic representation, and instead identified it with Arabic poetic themes and forms, such as satirical poetry. They viewed comedy as simply the art of reprehension and made no reference to light and cheerful events or troubled beginnings and happy endings associated with classical Greek comedy. After the Latin translations of the twelfth-century, the term comedy thus gained a new semantic meaning in Medieval literature.
When objectively viewed; humour frequently contains an unexpected, often sudden, shift in perspective. There are, however, many who claim that humour cannot or should not be explained.
As with any form of art, acceptance depends on social demographics and varies from person to person. Throughout history, comedy has been used as a form of entertainment all over the world, whether in the courts of the western kings or the villages of the far east. Both a social etiquette and a certain intelligence can be displayed through forms of wit and sarcasm.
Humour occurs when the brain recognizes a pattern that surprises it, and that recognition of this sort is rewarded with the experience of the humorous response, an element of which is broadcast as laughter.
The Alphabet Effect is a group of hypotheses in communication theory arguing that phonetic writing, and alphabetic scripts in particular, have served to promote and encourage the cognitive skills of abstraction, analysis, coding, decoding, and classification.
The theory claims that a greater level of abstraction is required due to the greater economy of symbols in alphabetic systems; and this abstraction and the analytic skills needed to interpret phonemic symbols in turn has contributed to the cognitive development of its users. Proponents of this theory hold that the development of phonetic writing and the alphabet in particular – as distinct to other types of writing systems – has made a significant impact on Western thinking and development precisely because it introduced a new level of abstraction, analysis, coding, decoding and classification.
A result of these skills, the use of the alphabet created an environment conducive to the development of codified law, monotheism, abstract science, deductive logic, objective history, and individualism. All of these innovations, including the alphabet, arose within the very narrow geographic zone between the Tigris-Euphrates river system and the Aegean Sea, and within the very narrow time frame between 2000 B.C. and 500 B.C.
The emergence of codified law in Sumer as exemplified by the Hammurabic code actually coincided with the reform of the Akkadian syllabic system and is not directly influenced by the alphabet per se but rather by a phonetic writing system consisting of only sixty signs. Also it has to be pointed out that there was a robust scientific tradition in China but that science as practised in ancient China was not abstract but concrete and practical. In fact the impetus for formulating the Alphabet Effect was to explain why abstract science began in the West and not China despite the long list of inventions and technology that first appeared in China. The Alphabet Effect provides an alternative explanation why China had been overshot by the West in science and technology, despite its earlier successes.
Another impact of alphabetic writing was that it led to the invention of zero, the place number system, negative numbers, and algebra by Hindu and Buddhist mathematicians in India 2000 years ago. These ideas were picked up by Arab mathematicians and scientists and eventually made their way to Europe 1400 years later.
The alphabet effect hypothesis points out that the alphabet facilitated the rise and dissemination of monotheism, by providing an easy way to write about a deity that is omnipotent, omnipresent, yet invisible. In contrast, monotheism did not succeed when Akhenaten attempted to promulgate it via hieroglyphics in Ancient Egypt, nor did it even arise in places such as China, which relied on an ideographic writing system.
Prior to the written word there was a monopoly of knowledge by priests. This was because literacy was seen to be very time consuming. Therefore all literacy was left in the hands of priests. With the priests monopolizing the content of religious texts there would be little or no dissension among the public. Thus the introduction of the alphabet substantially limited the power of the priests and religious texts were now open to society for questioning.
A social ramification of the introduction of the alphabet was the creation of social distinctions within society. Those who are illiterate within society are seen as being deficient and backward. Consequently, the development of the alphabet allowed for distinctions to be formed within society between the literate upper class and the illiterate lower class.
The development of the alphabet and hence the written word has also affected the impact of emotion. To translate a beautiful picture into words would be to deprive it of correctly articulating its best qualities. Therefore the written word has deprived both images and beautiful objects of the correct level of emotion with which to express their exact appearance.
The fact that the alphabet introduced the idea that a person's writing could live on long after they died was another social ramification of the alphabet. This argument is also shared by Andrew Robinson. Robinson believes that the need for immortality has always been of extreme importance for many authors. As a result, the development of the written word allowed for the immortality of authors and their written works.
Semantics: Relation between signs and the things to which they refer; their denotata.
Syntactics: Relations among signs in formal structures.
Pragmatics: Relation between signs and their effects on the people who use them.
Semiotics is frequently seen as having important anthropological dimensions; for example, Umberto Eco proposes that every cultural phenomenon can be studied as communication. However, some semioticians focus on the logical dimensions of the science. They examine areas belonging also to the natural sciences – such as how organisms make predictions about, and adapt to, their semiotic niche in the world. In general, semiotic theories take signs or sign systems as their object of study: the communication of information in living organisms is covered in biosemiotics or zoosemiosis.
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing.
The mind map can be contrasted with the similar idea of concept mapping. The former is based on radial hierarchies and tree structures denoting relationships with a central governing concept, whereas concept maps are based on connections between concepts in more diverse patterns.
Ahimsa is a term meaning to do no harm (literally: the avoidance of violence – himsa). It is an important tenet of the Indian religions (Hinduism, Buddhism and especially Jainism). Ahimsa is a rule of conduct that bars the killing or injuring of living beings. It is closely connected with the notion that all kinds of violence entail negative karmic consequences. The extent to which the principle of non-violence can or should be applied to different life forms is controversial between various authorities, movements and currents within the three religions and has been a matter of debate for thousands of years. Though the origins of the concept of ahimsa are unknown, the earliest references to ahimsa are found in the texts of historical Vedic religion, dated to 8th century BCE. Here, ahimsa initially relates to "non-injury" without a moral connotation, but later to non-violence to animals and then, to all beings. Though ritual sacrifice of animals and meat-eating are condoned in the earliest Vedic texts, other texts present counter-arguments against these activities. In the 19th and 20th centuries, prominent figures of Indian spirituality such as Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharishi, Swami Sivananda and A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada emphasized the importance of ahimsa. Mahatma Gandhi applied ahimsa to politics, by his non-violent satyagrahas.
Ahimsa in Jainism emphasizes vegetarianism and bans hunting and ritual sacrifice. Jains go out of their way so as not to hurt even small insects and other minuscule animals and make considerable efforts not to injure plants in everyday life as far as possible. In accordance to this policy, eating of some foods, whose cultivation harms small insects and worms as well as agriculture itself, is to be abstained from. Violence in self-defense, criminal law, and war are accepted by Hindus and Jains. Though ahimsa is not used as a technical term in Buddhism unlike the other two religions, it condemns ritual sacrifice and violence, and moral codes emphasize the importance of not taking life.

20 or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles.

Hockey heaven - all wrapped into a single day
It was something like minus 25 early Saturday morning and I could hardly wait to get started.
For someone who wears his passion for local sports on his sleeve much in the same manner that children display their endless excitement on Christmas morning, this was one of those days where my giddiness could not be contained.
A slate of hockey games, all in leagues that contrast notably from one to the next, but all blessed with varying story-lines, had me looking forward, with anticipation, to each successive drop of the puck.
Even the early morning appetizer, my 9:00 a.m. jaunt over to Centennial Arena, where the Nickel City Major Atom "AA" Jr Sons were battling the North Bay Major Atom "AA" Trappers, was appealing.
A 3-3 tie which would see the Sons' Adrien Potvin score both with his team short-handed and on the power-play, set the tone for the day, after Leighton Pelletier opened the scoring for the homeside.
While the truth is that those who excel at this age bracket are far more likely to be hitting the beer leagues in their early twenties as they are to be looking back on a successful OHL career, the fact remains that the local atom AA teams typically form the core of what will be the "AAA" talent that will really start to test itself, on a provincial scale, roughly six or seven months down the road.
And as luck would have it, that was my next stop, completely across town as the Nickel City Minor Peewee "AAA" Sons and the Sudbury Minor Peewee "AAA" Wolves met for the eighth time in league play this year, the Sons holding a slim 4-3 lead in the series, to date, but with the Wolves having claimed victory in each of the past three meetings.
With Lincoln Lachance scoring the only goal through two periods of play, former Sudbury Wolves' captain and current coach Michael MacDonald had his namesake underlings well positioned to make it four in a row.
Nickel City, also led by a former OHLer behind in the bench in the form of Jason Young, would not be denied, however, as Russell Ranger and Brock Batchelor scored goals just over 90 seconds apart, lifting the Sons to a 2-1 win and extending their lead over Sudbury in the NOHL standings to twelve points, with the Soo Jr Greyhounds squeezed in between the local pair, just two back of Nickel City.
"We put the onus back on the kids," noted Sons' assistant coach Joel Whissell, discussing the between period dressing room talk that led to a much more inspired final period of play. "They know what they have to do to win these games. They just weren't doing it."
"We challenged them to focus on doing two specific things better," Whissell added. "They did, and we came out and scored those two quick goals and were able to hold on for the win."
While Young and Whissell have been partnered behind the bench for many a season at either the midget AAA or junior rank, this latest venture back to the pre-teenage talent under their watch can prove interesting, at times.
"The biggest adjustment, for us, is that we are both pretty intense and very focused individuals," admitted Whissell, quite candidly. "We are always trying to find that balance, reminded that they are 11 and 12 year olds. Sometimes, it's hard to turn that mentality that you have coaching at a higher level off."
"Coming back to coach these kids has been different - fun, but different," Whissell continued. "It's been refreshing, less stress, or maybe a different stress. It's a good group of kids. I'm glad that we decided to kind of take a step back and go back to the grassroots of it all."
Over to the girls game and the other end of the spectrum, as the defending Esso Cup silver medal winners were on the verge of being eliminated in the first round of the Lower Lakes Female Hockey League playoffs. And though coach Jay Duncan and company still have plenty of work ahead to advance to round two, they did manage to live to fight another day, securing a 1-1 tie with the Toronto Aeros Saturday evening at the Gerry McCrory Sports Complex.
Jenna Lachance opened the scoring early for Sudbury, with Leah Horowitz deadlocking the game at one with a third period tally, a result that leaves the Aeros still holding a 3-1 lead in the four point series. The Midget "AA" Lady Wolves travel to Toronto, next weekend, and must win in regulation just to force overtime, and then must win the sudden-death ten minute affair, as well.
"In game one, I thought we played hard but didn't bury our opportunities," noted Lachance, referencing her team's 2-0 loss last weekend in the GTA. "In this game, it was all about getting even more shots on net, screen that goalie and put the pucks in the net." The good news, for Lachance and company, is that regardless of the outcome of game three, the Lady Wolves are already pre-qualified for provincials in April.
"Our big goal is still winning provincials and trying to make it to the Esso, so we are using this right now to get going for provincials," stated the 16 year old grade 11 student at E.S.C. l'Horizon. "We want to use these playoffs to get our endurance going, winning games before provincials."
It was also a stepping stone, of sorts, for coach Brian Dube and the Horizon Aigles senior boys hockey team, closing out the evening by improving to 15-0 on the year, stopping the second place St Charles College Cardinals 5-2 Saturday night at the Garson Arena.
Goals by Ben Lacroix and Eric Frappier were sandwiched around a lovely individual effort from St Charles veteran forward Brendan Weber, when the Aigles scored twice in a span of 13 seconds, midway through the third, to take control of the game. Caleb Langlois and Gavin Roy increased the Horizon lead to 4-1, with Nick Faught getting one back before captain Andrew Demers found the middle of the empty-net for the team that has steadily built to this point.
"Most of these boys have been with me since grade nine or grade ten, and they're all in grade twelve now," said Dube, now preparing his team for a semi-final series that will begin this coming week. "Three years ago, when they came aboard, we were competitive. Last year, we were very competitive, going to OFSAA - and we only had five seniors."
Garnering the NOSSA "AAA" berth in 2018-2019 despite being eliminated in the SDSSAA semi-finals, the Aigles are looking for more this year. "We've got some unfinished business," Dube acknowledged. "There is a chip on our shoulders that we want to get to that next level, we want to play in the final, we want to win the city championship."
And if and when that day comes, I fully expect to be every bit as excited, just sitting back and watching the story unfold.
