In the Slovenian Alps, the world shines in a special light because the mountains are composed from white limestone. The peaks are steep, the valleys are deep, and the streams are full of clear water. The slopes are covered with thick forests and the meadows with wild flowers. And most importantly, they are all perfect for mountain biking.
Cycling between the isolated farms in the Savinja Alps is a first-class experience and many bikers agree that this panoramic mountain road offers the most beautiful views in the Slovenian mountains. The Logarska Valley at the bottom of the Savinja Alps is known as one of most attractive glacial valleys. Jezersko literally means, "a place with a lake". When the glacier melted after the last Ice Age, there was a large lake, whose remains can still be visited today. From here, you will bike to the world-famous Bled and its lake with an old church on the island in the middle. On the following day, you will cycle from Bled to Lake Bohinj. With the lake and its surroundings, Bohinj is one of the natural wonders Slovenia has been generously endowed with. Our planet adorned itself with various decorations, but here it created a natural paradise. You will spend the night in a small mountain village called Sorica, and on the next morning you will descend to the old cosmopolitan town of Škofja Loka. The road will lead you on across the flat land of the Ljubljana Basin to the historical town of Kamnik. You can use cableway for ascent to the Velika Planina. Velika Planina is a mountain plateau in the Kamnik Alps. It is an Alpine pasture, with a number of herds and huts. From Velika Planina, you will ride back to Kamnik.
The tour is a combination of ascents and descents following the mountain roads. This tour mainly follows wide dirt roads. Most tracks are a combination of gravel, on some parts are quiet tarmac roads.
If you want to enjoy this tour, it is enough to be reasonably fit for the given daily distances, and confident and comfortable on your bike. Some parts are steep, but every day you will also have long downhills (to enjoy or rest on your bike) along the mountain roads.
Most of the nights (except 4 and 6 night), you will stay at places with limited possibility for dinners, therefore we recommend you our supplement for halfboard.


Hot showers are fun, especially if done after a tiring day. Besides being more comfortable, it turns out that hot showers have many other benefits. This is what causes the need for water heaters in Singapore to increase. Installation and repair of water heaters are usually carried out by electrician singapore. Why should it be done by a professional? Because the installation of a water heater involves many components that are only understood by technicians. There is nothing wrong if you want to do the installation yourself, but it would be better to use professional services so that the results are satisfactory.
Discomfort during sleep can be caused because our bodies are not clean aka dirty. In addition, insomnia can also be caused by stress and tension in the muscles of the body. To overcome this condition, you do not need to take sleeping pills, just by soaking in warm water for a few moments will be able to help eliminate the cause of the disorder so that later sleep will become more sound. When you wake up, your body will return to fit so that you can return to active activities.
Bathing with warm water can help to dilate blood vessels so that later it can help keep our body temperature stable. Therefore, for those of you who are having a fever, it is strongly recommended to take a bath with warm water.
By doing therapy, a warm bath will help open the pores on the surface of the skin which is blocked by dirt, so that these conditions will help the process of removing toxins from the body.
Taking a bath using warm water that has been added with a little vinegar for 15 to 20 minutes will help keep the pH in your body. Why? Because the content of compounds in vinegar can balance the acid in the body.

SUITLAND, MD – SUITLAND, MD — The U.S. National Ice Center (USNIC) comprises elements of the U.S. Navy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG). The Naval Ice Center (NAVICECEN), a military unit under Commander, Navy Meteorology and Oceanography Command, is the largest component of the U.S. National Ice Center and the Center's only independent command. The Commanding Officer of NAVICECEN also serves simultaneously as the Director of USNIC, Jul. 12, 2021.
CDR Casey J. Gon relieved CDR Heather H. Quilenderino as Commanding Officer of NAVICEN during a change of command ceremony held at the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, MD on 08 July 2021 at 1000.
During the ceremony, CDR Quilenderino stated, "USNIC, 32 months ago, I charged you with three things: Take pride; challenge everything; be excellent. You have exceeded the charge every step of the way." Praising the crew throughout her speech CDR Quilenderino mentioned, "Seeing how we have evolved as a team over the past two and a half years, how your expertise is in greater demand than ever before, and how you rise to meet the challenges we've encountered, there is no doubt that we strive for excellence every single day." CDR Quilenderino emphasised how excited she is for the new Commanding Officer CDR Gon stating, "Team USNIC is an incredible group of caring, dedicated professionals executing an exciting mission, protecting safety of life and navigation in the world's harshest environments."
CDR Quilinderino has served as the Director of USNIC since November 2018, overseeing 50 military and civilian personnel who provide global to tactical scale ice and snow products, ice forecasting, and related environmental intelligence for the United States government.
The Presiding Officer of the ceremony was CAPT Erin Acosta, Commander, Fleet Weather Center, Norfolk.
During her speech she mentioned, "We are here today to celebrate the U.S. National Ice Center's collective accomplishments, technical expertise, talented workforce, dedication and preeminence in such a crucial and important mission." With regard to CDR Quilinderino, CAPT Acosta said that "She masterfully led this diverse team through a period of unprecedented increase of interest, operations and strategic engagement in the Arctic...she led this team daily with a laser focus on the future...she did this with passion and zeal, with character, with creative and innovative thinking."
CDR Quilinderino is scheduled to report for duty as VADM Jeffrey Trussler Deputy Chief of Navy Operations for Information Warfare's, Deputy Executive Assistant.
After assuming command, CDR Gon spoke to the crew stating, "We at the U.S. National Ice Center have the incredible challenge of characterizing the most complex and harsh domain that ships, submarines and aircraft operate in, the Arctic and Antarctic….I look forward to leading the USNIC Family through all steps of this complex problem set and I cannot wait to get started."

Call me crazy but I think this is a more accurate trailer than the original. I mean common, this movie is messed up.
Anywho, YouTuber ryan shukis has re-cut Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory in to a modern thriller trailer which I believe supports my long-running argument that good music can make a movie trailer WAY better than it is. Need proof? Check out this trailer out.

It took until the final hour, but the New Jersey Devils have made a move. They sent Utica Comets forward Nate Schnarr to the Montreal Canadiens for goaltender Andrew Hammond.

Is this a minor deal? In a sense, yes. The Devils traded away a player who has featured entirely for the AHL affiliate since being acquired from the Taylor Hall trade in 2019. Andrew Hammond has largely played in the AHL in recent seasons. He caught onto some fire with Ottawa in the middle part of last decade and backstopped the 2014-15 Senators team with an incredible 20-1-2 record that helped that team make the playoffs. He also obtained the nickname, "The Hamburglar," amid that hot run. While he was good in 24 games in 2015-16, he faded out of the NHL and mostly played in the AHL since the 2016-17 season. He suffered some injuries this season and Montreal acquired him from the Minnesota organization for Brandon Baddock. Yet, he did make four appearances for Montreal this season. Four appearances that went well wherein he stopped 62 out of 65 shots against. It is nothing to write home about or put a lot of hope in, but it is at least a recent sign he is not a sieve at the NHL level.
Ultimately, this is the type of acquisition that I think should have Jon Gillies rightfully relegated to depth status. It is possible that Hammond may not be that much of an upgrade over Gillies or the duo of Nico Daws or Akira Schmid. It is very much a stop-gap move, but it shows that Tom Fitzgerald is at least able to do something at goaltender in the short term. It is by no means a permanent fix. The position will still need to be addressed in a major way this offseason. If it means making some more of the next 20 games not be near-impossible to win, I am OK with a move like this.
Did it have to cost a decent AHL hand in Schnarr? A player who was doing well on a really good Utica team? I do not know. The Devils could have made a move for Hammond much earlier too given he was moved to Montreal just for Baddock. The Devils do not have a plethora of picks, but in a trade market where picks from 2023 and 2024 were being handed out, I would not have minded seeing a mid-round pick from those later years instead. That would have been my preference. That stated, if management did not see a path for Schnarr to make it to New Jersey one day, then it is probably better than moving him in a minor deal next year or in the future if retained beyond his current contract. I do not love it, but I understand it.
What do you think of this move? Would you have made this move? Is the goaltending tandem now Daws and Hammond or do you think Gillies still factors in? Will there be any more to come out after the 3 PM ET deadline? Please leave your answers in the comments. Thank you for reading.

From Copyleft to Copyfarleft: The need for a Commons-Based Reciprocity License
January 28, 2015 No Comment Stacco Troncoso read
Reposted from our sister-site Commons Transition. The title of this post is an homage to Primavera de Filippi's and Miguel Said de Viera's excellent essay on the subject.

Commons Based Reciprocity Licenses (CBRLs or "CopyFair" licenses) are specifically designed to find a middle ground between the full-sharing Copyleft licenses, such as the GPL, the Non-Commercial licenses, such as those offered by Creative Commons, and the copyright regime which privatises knowledge. CBRLs will provide for the free use and unimpeded commercialization of licensed material within the Commons while resisting its non-reciprocal appropriation by for-profit driven entities, unless those entities contribute to the Commons by way of licensing fees or other means. Our intention is to stimulate wealth circulation within the Commons and strengthen the resilience of P2P as a proto-mode of production with a constructive, rather than extractive, relationship with the corporate sector. Apart from their practical use as off-the-shelf licenses, CBRLs will also highlight the precise interaction between the Commons and the new ethical market sectors, whilst supporting the emergence of a vibrant commons sector that can insure its own livelihood.
The following text has been extracted from Michel Bauwens' Commons Transition plan. You can read the whole document here
Today, we have a paradox. The more shareable the license we use in the peer production of free software or open hardware, the more capitalistic the practice of the enterpreneurial coaltion which forms around it. An example of this is the Linux commons becoming a corporate commons, enriching IBM and the like. It works, in a certain way, and seems acceptable to most free software developers, but it is insufficient for the creation of a true ethical economy around the commons. Indeed, the General Public License (and its variants) allow anyone to use and modify the software code (or design), as long as the changes are also put back into the common pool under the same conditions for further users. This is, in fact, technically 'communism' as defined by Marx (from each according to his abilities, to each according to their needs) but which then paradoxically allows multinationals to use the free software code for profit and capital accumulation. The result is that we do have an accumulation of immaterial commons, based on open input, participatory process, and commons-oriented output, but that it is subsumed to capital accumulation. It is at present not possible, or at least not easy, to have social reproduction (i.e. livelihoods) within the sphere of the commons. Hence, the free software and culture movements, however important they are as new social forces and expressions of new social demands, are also in essence 'liberal'. This is not only acknowledged by its leaders, such as Richard Stallman, but also by anthropological studies like those of Gabriela Coleman. Without being terribly tongue-in-cheek, we could say they are liberal-communist and communist-liberal movements, which create a 'communism of capital'. True to the liberal tradition, they care for the freedoms, but not for the fairness of the conditions in which these freedoms can be exercised. Is there an alternative? We believe there is.This would be to replace non-reciprocal licenses, i.e. those which do not demand direct reciprocity from users, to one based on reciprocity. Technically, we could call it a switch from 'communist', to 'socialist' licenses', socialism being traditionally defined as that intermediary stage in which everyone receives according to effort. This is the choice of the Peer Production License as designed and proposed by Dmytri Kleiner; it is not to be confused with the Creative Commons non-commercial license, as the logic is different. The logic of the CC-NC is to offer protection to individuals who are reluctant to share, as they do not wish a commercialization of their work that does not reward them for their labor. Thus, the Creative Commons 'non-commercial' license stops further economic development based on this open and shared knowledge, and keeps it entirely in the not-for-profit sphere. The logic of the PPL is to allow commercialization, but on the basis of a demand for reciprocity. We see it as a forerunner of better – or at least broader – reciprocity licenses, as the PPL is geared exclusively to worker-owned cooperatives. The PPL is designed to enable and empower a counter-hegemonic reciprocal economy that combines commons that are open to all that contribute, while charging a license fee fto the for-profit companies who want to use without contributing. Not that much changes for the multinationals. In practice, they can still use the code if they contribute, as IBM does with Linux, and for those who don't, they would pay a license fee, a practice they are used to. Its practical effect would be to direct a stream of income from capital to the commons, but its main effect would be ideological, or, if you like, value-driven. The enterpreneurial coalitions linked around a PPL commons would be explicitely oriented towards their contributions to the commons and the alternative value system that that represents. From the point of view of peer producers or commoners, i.e. the communities of contributors to the common pool, this would allow them to create their own cooperative entities in which profit would be subsumed to the social goal of sustaining the commons and the commoners. Even the participating for-profit companies would consciously contribute under a new logic. It links the commons to an enterpreneurial coalition of ethical market entities (coops and other models), and keeps the surplus value entirely within the sphere of commoners/cooperators instead of leaking out to the multinationals. In other words, through this convergence, or rather, combination of a commons model for the abundant immaterial resources, and a reciprocity-based model for the 'scarce' material resources, the issue of livelihoods and social reproduction would be solved, and surplus value is kept inside the commons sphere itself. It is the cooperatives that would, through their cooperative accumulation, fund the production of immaterial commons, because they would pay and reward the peer producers associated with them. In this way, peer production would move from a proto-mode of production, unable to perpetuate itself on its own outside capitalism, to an autonomous and real mode of production. It creates a counter-economy that can be the basis for reconstituting a 'counter-hegemony' with a for-benefit circulation of value, which, allied to pro-commons social movements, could be the basis of the political and social transformation of the political economy. Hence we move from a situation in which the communism of capital is dominant, to a situation in which we have a 'capital for the commons', increasingly insuring the self-reproduction of the peer production mode. The PPL is used experimentally by Guerrilla Translation, and is being discussed in various places, for example, in France, in the open agricultural machining and design communities. There is also a specific potential inside the commons-oriented ethical economy, such as the application of open book accounting and open supply chains, which would allow a different value circulation whereby the stigmergic mutual coordination that already works at scale for immaterial cooperation and production would move to the coordination of physical production, creating post-market dynamics of allocation in the physical sphere. Replacing both the market allocation through the price signal, and central planning, this new system of material production would allow for massive mutual coordination instead, enabling a new form of 'resource-based economics' Finally, this whole system can be strengthened by creating commons-based venture funding, so as to create material commons, as proposed by Dmytri Kleiner. In this way, the machine park itself is taken out of the sphere of capital accumulation. In this proposed system, cooperatives needing capital for machinery would post a bond, and the other coops in the system would fund the bond, and buy the machine for a commons in which both funders and users would be members. The interest paid on these loans would create a fund that would gradually be able to pay an increasing income to their members, constituting a new kind of basic income. So, to summarize our proposal for the new Commons-Based Reciprocity License, it would allow the free usage of a particular commons on the following conditions:
that the entity is a common good institution or enterprise, structurally linked to a social or common good objective through its internal statutes.
that the activity or entity is non-commercial.
that the for-profit usage of the particular commons is based on reciprocity.
small and cooperative, worker-owned enterprises with for-profit activities or goals can also make use of the particular commons governed by a CBRL.
The key exception is that for-profit, shareholder owned enterprises that do not contribute to the particular commons are required to pay a licensing fee or another form of negotiated reciprocity. The interpretations of the rules, particular cases, and any exceptions, are decided by the democratically elected and managed for-benefit association that is linked to the particular commons.

Cape Town, South Africa – EFC continues to raise the bar with sport and entertainment broadcasting on South African television. The first event of 2019, EFC 77, had over 1.19 million fans tuning in to SABC 3 to watch the broadcast of the live event on 16 March.
This figure excludes all the fans that watched live on SuperSport (as no audience data is available for SS11 yet), making the actual number of viewers watching EFC 77 much higher. Furthermore this excludes all other TV channels in Africa and across the globe.
In only the first few weeks of broadcasting on SABC and SuperSport, EFC has already exceeded 2.59 million unique viewers in South Africa (this figure excludes the majority of the SuperSport viewers that are watching on SS11, so the actual viewership is even higher).
EFC is rolling out a massive African TV broadcast expansion, and is now, for the first time, broadcasting weekly on SABC 3 and daily on SuperSport, as well as weekly on the largest free-to-air TV networks in every country across the continent.
With these new TV channels all broadcasting EFC every week, it is likely that in 2019 EFC will be the most watched African sport and entertainment property outside of football.
This is massive promotion for the sport, EFC partners, athletes, gyms and associated brands.
With EFC 78 taking place this Saturday, plus TF2 soon to be on air, EFC can look forward to audience numbers continuing to grow significantly.
All eyes now turn to EFC 78 Buys vs Biko, Zulu vs Hadley is presented by Restonic Mattresses and takes place on Saturday 13 April live from GrandWest, Cape Town. Tickets are on sale at www.computicket.com. Full broadcast details available at www.efcworldwide.com.


Fenwick High School junior guard Caleb Davis talks about Saturday night????€??™s 54-46 victory over visiting Carroll.
Pat Kreke got the fight-back performance he was seeking from his Fenwick High School boys basketball team Saturday night.
The Falcons took a 54-34 beating from McNicholas at home Friday night, but they roared back 24 hours later to sink visiting Carroll 54-46 and solidify their hold on first place in the Greater Catholic League Coed North Division.
The Falcons were on the short end of a 13-12 halftime score against Carroll, but found their offense after the break. They also converted 18 of 23 free throws in the second half (21 of 27 overall).
Caleb Davis scored a career-high 16 points, C.J. Napier had 15 points and nine rebounds, and David Luers marked 10 points as Fenwick dropped Carroll to 10-5, 4-3.
Davis, a junior guard, said the players got together Saturday morning and discussed what was needed against the Patriots.
Fenwick ran off 7 straight points early in the third quarter to erase a 15-12 deficit and never trailed again. The hosts stretched their lead to 43-33 with 3:10 remaining, yet still had to weather a point flurry by the Patriots.
Carroll had 20 points in the first three periods, then put up 26 in the fourth.
The Patriots couldn't get closer than 4, though, and watched their eight-game winning streak come to a halt. Carroll's last loss before Saturday also came from the Falcons, 50-48 on Dec. 22.
Eli Ramsey collected 10 points and 10 rebounds for Carroll. Austin Schafer had 9 points and Simon Jefferson added 8.
The Patriots only turned the ball over seven times, but made just 30.4 percent of their field goals.
Kreke praised Davis' defensive work against Ramsey, the GCLC's leading scorer. Davis also tallied 14 second-half points after reaching double figures just once before in his varsity career.
John Engelmeier buried two big 3s and Luers was 5 of 6 at the line for the Falcons in the fourth quarter, and Jared Morris had all 4 of his points in the last four-plus minutes. Fenwick totaled four field goals in the first half, 11 thereafter.
"We were trying to take advantage of them doubling down on C.J. and trying to get to the basket a little bit more and creating things, which we haven't been able to do lately," said Kreke, crediting his assistant coaches for their halftime adjustments on offense.
Carroll was coming off a 52-37 win over Purcell Marian on Friday night. Tim Cogan said his crew turned in a top-shelf performance against the Cavaliers.
The Patriots have three league games left, one with Alter and two with Chaminade Julienne, which is 3-3 in league play. Fenwick's last two GCLC games will be against Alter and CJ.
Both teams have nonleague road games Tuesday, the Falcons vs. Miamisburg and the Patriots vs. Tipp City Bethel.


Comments on "On the Street.... The Italian Tie Knot, Hyeres"
Simpatico! And what a beautiful blue tie!
I like this guy. He's smiling, and has a Hemingway beard. And the background is great too! Very Newport, RI. This is true style!
Great style. Great color combination. Very elegant gentleman.
I hate it! I think the jacket's fantastic, but the knot just looks too unwieldy IM(NSH)O. I think the bulk of the jacket would be better offset by a more subtle knot.
He reminds me of my 9th grade history teacher, only without the bow tie. He's very distinguished and the tie is just perfect. It's a bit subdued as it's blending with his blue shirt, but it makes a bold statement nonetheless. And his beard! Absolutely charming. And against an excellent backdrop w/ the docks. Brilliant.
Fantastic!!! Great style, yet a totally approachable looking man.
Hey... he looks like a cross between a fisherman and my old philosophy professor. I like the tie, though I cannot quite see its texture. Looks real and obviously he himself is intimate with this look- as opposed to something that you hastily picked up as a trend.
And Scott- I wanted to thank you for this wonderful blog. I'm always at my computer, and mostly in quite a drab enviornment, and your blog makes my breaks truly delightful and inspiring. Everyone's soul needs beauty- and if it's living breathing beauty on the streets, even better.
Can someone explain to me the male obsession with tie knots?? Is it the female equivalent of cup size or skirt length?? For the record i know i don't like that knot or that tie, it's big and fat and looks as if it's about to fall apart any minute. Sart - maybe you caould help out and invite your correpondants to nominate 'greatest ties tied of our times' or something'?
The Italian Tie Knot looks the same as the standard American tie knot. Is it different?
He looks like the worlds most interesting man, dos equis. Very joyful and pleasant.
I love the way that brown and blue work together. Nice pairing. And, the big knot works so well with a spread collar. Very nicely done.
One minor suggestion. Your tie is too long. Knot the necktie so that the bottom point falls on your belt buckle. This way it won't interfere when you are buttoning your jacket and it will give a neater look when you are seated.
Nice. Picks up the blue in his jacket very well.
I think the knot may be more British rather than Italian since they favour large knots. I think his knot is too large and it ruins a nice look. It particularly dwarfs the collar of his shirt.
The sport coat however, is great. Brilliant fabric. Gun club is the design, if I'm not mistaken.
He seems like a genuinely nice gent. I picture him more in a captains suit, all bright white with that great hat. The Admiral look. This does not drip style to me, but that tie would catch any gravy that did. Nice guy, normal outfit, day in the life. Thank You.
A gentleman and a scholar! True love.
Love the combination of blue and brown, though the tie seems a little wide to me. As mentioned by others, he looks distinguished yet approachable, and he looks as though he belongs in front of the boats. A retired sea captain perhaps?
Anytime is great when someone gets dressed with a little care. So who cares if the ties a bit wide, a bit long, and a bit heavy, or the collar a bit to short (only for that tie) What matters is a smile, sartorial components, (I have an Isaia jacket in that fabric)and a picture on Sartorialist. Not a bad day indeed.
He reminds me of one of my old college professors...I don't think that is him though... Great shot!
your photos make life look...brighter.
To anonymous 3:53PM: Awesome,that's the spirit! Who's looking for perfection? Such a thing does not exist. Only God is perfect. Were humans, tha's all and that's great.
That jacket, tie and shirt go together perfectly.
I wish you had a really close up shot of that tie.It's such a beautiful blue.
Blue tone-on-tone is a safe bet. The shape of the knot is mostly determined from the width of the tie, I think. He has likely made the knot from the upper more narrow portion of the tie (thereby explaining why it appears long).
Anyways, Mr. Ernesto Hemingway looks good.
Italians use much more the french collar and tie a much larger knot than Americans.
He is channelling Aristotle! Good call.
Scott your pictures are brilliant. I would like a little advice though; to create the fabulous photos, the slight blurring in the background and all the other elements in your photos that seem to create portraits with all the magnificence of an oil painting, do you need to use an SLR camera? I have a pretty good 8mp digital camera but I can't seem to get the thing to produce anything more than a 'snapshot'.
I love this! His smile is adorable and so heart-warming.
My professor dresses like him all the time: very simple but eyecatching with an interesting tie/shirt and color combination. I always want to take a picture of him and send it in.
Have you been to Saint-Tropez?
Ooh no, can't be doing with that 2" below the belt look.
Having said that, I wear jeans and t-shirts most days, so may not be in a position to comment.
How can a tie reveal so much about personality?
The Whole outfit just looks so CUTE! Love it !
There is 9 famous tie knots.
Tell me what do you think about.

How to Pick a Donor ...
How to Pick a Donor Daddy
Rachel Lehmann-Haupt
Ideas for finding the ideal donor daddy
I began thinking about having a child on my own after a very serious relationship ended. I was 37, a critical time for my fertility. I considered every option. I talked to a friend about donating his sperm, and I considered coparenting with an ex-boyfriend. In the end, I decided to go with an "open identity" donor whose sperm I purchased through a sperm bank. Open identity meant that my child could meet his or her biological father when he or she was 18, but not before.
I decided to go this route because I didn't want a known donor who would be a sort-of father—someone who could swoop in and out on his own terms, or even my terms, but nonetheless not be 100% my child's father. To me, fatherhood is defined by the emotional connection, physical affection, advisements, and daily consistency of a man in a child's life whom that child calls Daddy. I don't believe this relationship has to be biological, and if it is biological, then I don't believe that a donor, even if he has a connection with the child, should automatically be able to claim parental rights. There needs to be strong evidence of deep commitment.
I very consciously chose not to use a known donor because of the potential legal ramifications but, more importantly, because of the emotional ones. I decided to conceive with a donor whom my child could meet someday to inevitably satisfy any curiosity about his or her genetic origins, but I didn't want to confuse the child with a "minimally viable dad" (see my article on Medium about the Jason Patric case to understand what could go wrong if you're not legally covered) whom the child couldn't necessarily call Dad.
Of course there are many options that work for different people, but my advice would be to figure out the least legally complicated situation, and if you choose a known donor or to coparent with someone with whom you are not romantically involved, deeply research the laws and put everything in a contract using a lawyer or mediator.
With so many options for sperm donors these days, it can be confusing. You can choose from donors who have taken personality tests to celebrity look-alike donors. To make things simple, choose a donor with the traits you find attractive and would want in someone whom you are dating. He is, after all, the "donor daddy" of your future kid. But also remember what author David Plotz wrote in his book The Genius Factory: The Curious History of the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank (Random House, 2005): "There is serendipity in DNA. A great donor can pass on a lousy set of genes. Women shop carefully for sperm in hopes of certainty. But there is no certainty in a baby."
See our resource pages for a list of sperm banks and family lawyers who can help you navigate paternity laws and, if necessary, help you draw up a donor agreement.

Die weiße Sklavin war eine in Dänemark initiierte Stummfilmreihe zum Thema Mädchenhandel, die vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg entstand. Vor allem die in den frühen 1910er Jahren gedrehten Produktionen, die zumeist die Gefahren junger Frauen auf Reisen ins Ausland thematisierten, erfreuten sich auch international großer Beliebtheit. Filmhistoriker Michael Esser schreibt hierzu: "Neben den Detektiv-Serien bildeten die Weißen Sklavinnen-Filme in Dänemark und Deutschland einen wesentlichen Bestandteil des trivialen Kinos, ohne dessen Erfolg die Expansion der Filmwirtschaft in den Jahren zwischen 1905 und 1914 sehr viel langsamer und beschwerlicher verlaufen wäre". Die Grundlagen der in ihnen erzählten Geschichten entstammten dem modernen Massenmedium Zeitung; durch Aktualität und Realitätsbezug gewannen die abenteuerlichen Kolportage-Storys den Anschein der Glaubwürdigkeit.

Hintergründe, Entstehungsgeschichte
Am 18. Mai 1904 wurde erstmals ein internationales Abkommen geschlossen, das den Handel mit minderjährigen weißen Mädchen und gewaltsam entführten Frauen strafrechtlich regelte. Daraufhin begann auch die bis dahin kaum entwickelte Kinematographie dieses Thema für sich zu entdecken. Das erste Ergebnis von Bedeutung war 1906 Den hvide slavinde, ein Film, mit dem der dänische Filmpionier Viggo Larsen das über viele Jahrzehnte hinweg populäre Genre des Mädchenhandel-Films begründete. Nachdem sich am 4. Mai 1910 ein weiteres internationales Abkommen expressis verbis mit der Bekämpfung des Mädchenhandels befasste, erhielt dieses Filmgenre kurzzeitig Seriencharakter. Der große Erfolg, den die frühen Sklavin-Filme auch im deutschen Kaiserreich hatten, führte dazu, dass Larsen im Frühjahr 1911 mit Die weiße Sklavin, 3. Teil auch einen deutschen Sklavin-Film inszenierte. Es folgten in unregelmäßigen Abständen weitere deutsche Sklavin-Produktionen, zuletzt 1927 eine Fassung mit Liane Haid in der Titelrolle.

Filme
Nachfolgend werden nur diejenigen Filme aufgelistet, die in dänischer oder deutscher Sprache die Worte "Die weiße Sklavin" im Titel führen und dieser Reihe zuzuordnen sind. Weitere Mädchenhandel-Filme wie etwa die Stummfilme Der Weg, der zur Verdammnis führt (1919) und Das Frauenhaus von Rio (1927) werden hingegen in dieser Liste ebenso wenig berücksichtigt wie diejenigen Produktionen, die im Tonfilm das Thema Mädchen- und Frauenhandel aufgriffen wie z. B. Der Weg nach Rio (Deutsches Reich 1930), Die weiße Sklavin (L'esclave blanche, Frankreich 1939), Export in Blond (Bundesrepublik Deutschland 1950, ein Remake von Das Frauenhaus von Rio), Mädchenhandel (La tratta delle bianche, Italien 1952), Mannequins für Rio (1954) und der hochrangig besetzte Hollywoodstreifen Ashanti aus dem Jahre 1978.

Melt the butter in a saucepan set over medium heat, then add the sugar and eggnog. Whisk together and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and baking soda if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Baking soda helps the syrup emulsify and become thick and creamy, but isn't necessary to make the sauce. Serve this syrup with French toast, pancakes or waffles throughout the holiday season for a festive meal.

Tractebel Obtains Its First Global EDGE Assess Certification
Tractebel begins its gender equity journey with EDGE Assess certification.
Tractebel, the global engineering company delivering game-changing solutions for a carbon-neutral future, has become EDGE Assess certified, becoming the first organization within the multi-utilities industry to obtain a global EDGE Assess certification confirming its commitment to workplace gender equity.
EDGE is the leading global assessment and business certification for gender and intersectional equity. The certification process involves a rigorous third-party review of representation across the pipeline, pay equity, effectiveness of policies and practices, and inclusiveness of an organization's culture. As an integral part of the assessment, statistical data is analysed, policies and practices are reviewed and employees receive a comprehensive survey to assess perceptions of career development opportunities in the workplace.
EDGE's assessment has highlighted a certain number of common denominators but also important local specificities across the different countries of operation of the company. Tractebel France has a solid framework of policies and practices in equal pay for equivalent work and flexible working. Similarly, when it comes to inclusivity both male and female employees in Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany and India, perceive Tractebel to provide equal opportunities to be hired and they would also recommend it as an employer to both male and female friends to work for the organization.
Across countries of operation, employees of both genders believe that gender equity is important for the organization to remain competitive in the market. Furthermore, men and women are given equal access to leadership development opportunities, a crucial element needed for a journey towards gender equity in the workplace.
With their EDGE action plan, Tractebel aims to improve gender balance and inclusion across all levels of responsibility, through a focused approach in terms of hiring, promotion/development and retention rates across the pipeline.
Aniela Unguresan, Founder of EDGE Certified Foundation, says that EDGE Assess global certification marks a strong start: "Tractebel proudly joins the other companies of the ENGIE Group – ENGIE Brasil Participações and ENGIE Impact – which are currently certified at EDGE Assess level, on the EDGE accelerated path towards workplace gender equity. Their EDGE Certification will enable the company to successfully contribute to ENGIE Group's Fifty-Fifty Programme, which aims to accelerate inclusion at the Group level and create the necessary conditions to achieve gender parity in managerial positions by 2030."
"I am proud to announce that our Tractebel headquarters in five countries – Belgium, Brazil, Germany, India and France – have all passed the external audit by SGS to achieve the first of three levels to EDGE certification, EDGE Assess, which demonstrates commitment to gender equity in the workplace. This first level officially recognizes our commitment and will be followed by a concrete action plan to increase gender balance and inclusion across all levels of responsibility. Why are we pursuing EDGE certification? Because diversity, including gender equity, is crucial to the success of any organization. It creates a more innovative and productive workforce, bringing a proven competitive edge. It's also an increasingly deciding factor among stakeholders, clients, current and potential employees and the public. But it's not just about the bottom line. Most importantly, in 2022 there is simply no room or reason for inequality of any kind in the workplace, or anywhere else. Looking forward to continuing the journey to EDGE certification!" says Karen Goovaerts, Tractebel Chief Human Resources, QHSSE and Communications Officer.

Return of the Dragon: Oz Noy Brings Live Fire to Sweetwater Studios with Snapdragon
November 20, 2020, Fort Wayne, IN – Oz Noy has created a singular discography of virtuoso instrumental recordings that has won him accolades throughout the guitar community for his deft sense of touch and fearless genre-bending compositions. Always looking for the best way to capture the unique alchemy of his live performances in the studio ultimately led Noy to Sweetwater Studios where he laid down the tracks that ultimately became his Booga Looga Loo album. Eager to recreate the energy of these sessions, the guitarist/composer returned to Sweetwater to record his latest collection, Snapdragon. Out now on Abstract Logix, the album continues Noy's signature explorations through jazz, blues, and rock with an all-star cast of rhythm sections that were captured live in the studio during a series of Sweetwater Studios Master Class sessions The right room One of Noy's ongoing challenges has been capturing the improvisational ensemble feel of his live performances in his studio recordings. Eschewing the typical practice of recording in separate rooms with headphones, he prefers a setup that allows him to feed off the energy of his fellow musicians. Not only does this allow him to tap into the creativity of the group, but it gives him total control of the guitar. "If you record guitar and you aren't in the room with the amp to feel the air moving, it's very difficult to play," he explained. "You can't feel that interaction between the guitar and the amplifier in headphones and it makes things really hard." When Noy first visited Sweetwater Studios in 2017, he immediately knew that it would work for his methods. The large live room of Sweetwater Studios' Studio A and its flexible isolation booths gave him the ability to play together in the room with his ensemble while having total quality control of the sound in the room and on record. "The guys at Sweetwater totally understood what I was going for and they had all the right equipment to make my ideal setup work," he said. "It was such a simple process, all we had to do was plug in and play!" A different class In an added twist to the live sessions, Noy also scheduled them during Sweetwater Studios' ongoing Recording Master Classes, which allowed both fans of his music and budding engineers to sit in on the tracking and learn the art of recording under real working conditions. Sweetwater Studios Producer/Engineer Bobby Dellarocco remarked that the addition of the built-in audience gave another angle to the performances that helped the album take shape. "With Oz's style it's always a performance whether there is an audience or not," he said. "Doing it this way though, you're really ensuring that you capture that kind of energy on a track, and it gives the attendees something really special while they are experiencing how a real session comes together." Part of what made each session was special was that Noy brought different rhythm sections each time he came to record. The players, which included drummers Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Dave Weckl, bass players Will Lee, James Genus, and John Patitucci, allowed him to capture different shades and feels of his signature style across the selection of tracks and give each its own sonic identity. "It gave a lot of variety from session to session," said Dellarocco. "It was really cool to hear the differences, and at the same time once we put it all together it's all immediately identifiable as Oz." "I look at all of my records as jazz records in a way, because in the end it's all about getting different players in the room and just seeing what happens," said Noy. "When you can get comfortable in an environment like this, it's effortless to get takes and get some really good music happening."

Tigress Analyst Pounds the Table on Square (SQ) Stock
Jon Hadad- December 19, 2018, 1:22 PM EDT
Square's (SQ) great year just got better. Yesterday, the company was announced as Yahoo Finance's Company of the Year, an award which – although having no bearing on its valuable – is a testament to its business prowess and success over the past 12 months. Square's shares are up nearly 70% for the year, as the company has released a slew of new products including Terminal, an updated Reader and Register, which was released last October.
Tigress analyst Ivan Feinseth expects Square's success to continue into 2019 and, as such, reiterates his Buy rating on the stock. (To watch Feinseth's track record, click here)
Feinseth says that Square is benefiting "from growing gross payment volume and its expanding customer base" which is primarily a result of growth from new and existing product lines. The analyst adds that its onboarding process is helping "increase the reach of its financial systems to more clients as it scales up its own operations, and further helps sellers with advanced CRM and business management tools."
Besides from product and software, Feinseth is impressed by Square's growth in its subscription and services business, including Caviar, Cash Card and Square Capital. Year-over-year, revenue from this category increased 155%, while Square Capital loan volume increased 34%.
Square is continuing to position itself as a business processing company, not only a payments processing company. Feinseth says, Square "employs a technology-focused approach that enables it to develop products and services to help its customers grow and expand their businesses by providing application-based services for SQ's sellers to manage their resources better," which the analyst believes will "continue to evolve as [Square's] key growth driver."
Overall, TipRanks analysis of 30 analyst ratings on the company shows a consensus Moderate Buy, with 16 analysts recommending Buy, 12 recommending Hold and two recommending Sell. The average price target is $88.42, representing a 48% upside from its current level; however, the most bullish analyst goes as high as $115, while the most bearish expects the company to plunge to $30.
