As I have been sharing for several years, it really is an individual thing. When you are fully doing YOUR higher purpose, you don't worry about what's going on in outer collective. (No kidding, that's really what happens.) That's because by then you will have the inner understanding that what's happening on the outer is necessary for the greatest growth and learning and transformation of all. Each person has to go through their process, there are no shortcuts. So yes, it will take some time to transform every corner of this planet, but when you're on YOUR path fully and the amazing synchronicities and favorable events occur, over time you piece things together and come to realize what this Earth experience is really about--and you will have inner peace with it. No complaining. So what's important again, is to begin YOUR process fully. Because it's an individual thing! What you do helps the rest of the world, even in small ways. Finally, the key to begin this process is: Connect with your higher self, follow through with your inner guidance, and learn to live from creation rather than survival. (That's it, is a nutshell).

Below are a couple of tests I showed in Thursday night's Subscriber Letter. They provide a nice example of why it's dangerous to quickly jump to conclusions without solid evidence and a decent sized sample set.
The number of trades is very low but the stats are suggestive of bullish implications after a short pullback. Eight of nine instances closed lower at some point in the next 3 days by an average of ¾%. Looking out 10 days every instance had at least 1 close higher. So pretty good stats, but not entirely convincing. I tested on the NDX as well. Here we see a large discrepancy with the SPY results.
Results here suggest quite bearish implications. The take away is that the setup does not clearly suggest an edge either way. Someone accepting the low number of instances and only checking either the SPY or the NDX might be led to believe otherwise.
Not so fast, my friend! The "buy 1%+ gaps down during downtrends" worked like a charm. SPY opened at 121.63 and traded up to 125.65 (3.3% higher). Plenty of opportunity for big cha-ching before they fell apart late in the day.

Q: Problems with jQuery code for select/option value selection Hy guys. Any idea what could be wrong with that code:
$IDuporabnikakijeobiskopravil = document.forms["referentpodatki"].elements["id_uporabnika_ki_je_opravil_obisk"].value
$("#IDuporabnik option[value='$IDuporabnikakijeobiskopravil']:first").attr("selected", true);

It must be something with variable. If I use only second part like this:
$IDuporabnikakijeobiskopravil = document.forms["referentpodatki"].elements["id_uporabnika_ki_je_opravil_obisk"].value
$("#IDuporabnik option[value='37']:first").attr("selected", true);

It works. But no of this options resolved my problem:
$IDuporabnikakijeobiskopravil = "37"
$IDuporabnikakijeobiskopravil = 37
$IDuporabnikakijeobiskopravil = '37'
$("#IDuporabnik option[value='{$IDuporabnikakijeobiskopravil}']:first").attr("selected", true);
var IDuporabnikakijeobiskopravil =  ....

Any help on this one would be much appriciated. THANK YOU!

The trick to getting white and fluffy mayo? A little bit of water and an egg white.
Place the vinegar, sugar, mustard, eggs, lemon zest, and salt in the bowl of a blender. With the motor slowly running, drizzle in the oil, then the 2 tablespoons of water, until emulsified. Season with salt. The mayonnaise will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.

The Grinch, CP3 and the End of a Lifetime Love Affair
My love for NBA basketball goes back 32 years, along with with my love for the Los Angeles Lakers. I watched it flourish from the drug infested rep it had during the 70s, through the resurgence with the help of Magic, Larry, and Isaiah; the glory years of Jordan, Hakeem, and finally Shaq, Kobe, Duncan and D-Wade. The current NBA has plenty of stars to peek the interest of old and new fans. As bad as "The Decision" was for LeBron and The Heat, the NBA had its peak year of interest, and then like a hammer, the owners imposed another lockout!
This was the first blow to my love for the NBA game. Not that the owners wanted more cheddar; that's just the American way. But the way they went about it, with their various threats to cancel the season. After a blockbuster year for everyone, they acted with an arrogance that clearly showed many owners cared nothing about the fans that pushed their popularity to where it is, so that their revenue could be as substantial as it's been.
I had it in my mind not to care whether the season was cancelled or not. I felt that for the sake of labor, the players should get a fair deal that reflected the value they bring to the franchises. If the owners wanted to bluff or cancel the season, then let them. And then see if the game ends up like the NHL.
With Christmas and it's primetime schedule looming, the players and the owners were able to get a deal done and cram a 66 game season in just a few short months. Initially the stain of the lockout was still in my mind. I knew it would take me a little while at least to become interested in the league again. I was more excited to continue watching NFL football and college hoops.
Once the deal was agreed upon and the moving and shaking began where clubs and players would be changing places, the buzz peeked my interest a bit more. Chris Paul to the Lakers? Tyson Chandler to the Knicks; Pau Gasol to the Rockets, Lamar Odom to the Hornets, damn! Talk about blowing up some teams! I knew the Lakers needed to make some changes but Odom and Gasol? That sounds drastic! (Unless they were going to gun for Dwight Howard but still that was no sure thing!)
I said to myself, Del Demps (the GM for New Orleans) is no joke! He's sitting with a team that is owned by the league and where no one seems to want to go, and yet he just set himself up to have a strong team for this season with Odom, (the reigning sixth man of the year), Luis Scola (a double-double man), and guard Kevin Martin! This core gives a potential owner a very competitive team to begin with. The Rockets having Gasol would make them instant playoff contenders since Yao Ming retired. And as I said about my Lakers, it helped our backcourt tremendously but left our front line very light with a heavy load being put on Andrew Bynum's knees.
Ok, maybe I do want to watch on Christmas. But then at the behest of so called small market owners like Dan Gilbert, The Grinch David Stern killed the deal! WTF???
It seems that though Demps was told by the league that he had the freedom to make deals as any other GM would, The Angel of Stern at the behest of Gilbert and the likes decided that Chris Paul going to the Lakers under any circumstances was bad for the league. Part of the owners lockout strategy was to restrict star players from choosing their own destinies. The problem is that they can't stop free agency. If a player is in the final year of his contract and is not going to stay with the team he's on, he's going to have a certain amount of power in choosing his trade destination if he doesn't agree to re-sign with his new team. That is just the nature of the beast. Most players in any of the major sports have but one chance in their careers to have serious influence on where they go and how much they can make.
Stern said that the deal was not good enough for the Hornets and that his decision to block a great trade didn't have anything to do with other owners. He also thinks Jerry Sandusky only likes to 'horse around' with young boys. But I digress! Phil Jackson the former Laker coach brought the Paul issue up a year ago with the league owning the Hornets which is a clear conflict of interest. He was fined by the league for predicting the cluster f#@! that eventually panned out.
Fast forward a few days later with trade proposals flying like bullets and players being amnestied left and right, the Lakers gave away Lamar Odom to the World Champion Mavericks for a 40oz. Neither Stern, Gilbert or any other small market owners said a word about that. Instead of Demps doing the negotiations going forward, Stern took over negotiations from New York rendering the Hornets GM a GM with no clothes. Oh and this just in: Paul goes to the Clippers instead; the team with historically racist owner the the league has never addressed. That makes a lot of sense!
I'm just disgusted with the NBA right now. And I'm honestly not sure if there will be any coming back from it. This is NOT about the Lakers not getting CP3 either. Since Jerry Buss turned the team over to his son, the way they have treated many of their loyal personnel like Brian Shaw for instance has shown a total lack of class. Likewise, not even telling Lamar Odom, a man who has taken a lesser playing role and less money for years as a sign of loyalty that the team was seeking to trade him is reprehensible. That is a side issue that calls into question my respect for the Laker organization.
What is bothersome is that in addition to the lockout, the league's manipulation of team business is a huge turn off. I would much rather take my team to task for the way they manage, the way they play, Mike Brown's coaching, etc. My team has been my team for over 30 years and we haven't won the championship every year. I'm good with that. The issue is credibility! I want to have the belief at least that the product that is NBA basketball is a legitimate institution. Where if each team plays by the rules established that they can make or break their own clubs, their own seasons, and that I as a fan can watch the games and root from a fan's perspective.
At best Christmas morning anticipation of the NBA should feel as if I am waking up to love I've known most of my life. Now it feels like a dirty whore being shoved down my throat dressed with promos of players just recently cursed by owners. Where owners who have less skill and attract-ability can dictate to other teams what they can and cannot do. Perhaps Stern will make Kim Kardashian an ESPN sideline reporter next. It seems the league has not been less out of touch with reality. I am a very educated fan and I won't be given anything and told to deal with it.
Perhaps it seems I'm taking this all too personally. But I doubt it. Even if we the normal fan cannot pay for NBA salaries, the fan base is the foundation that drives the revenues. The time and dedication given by the average Joe in caring about what happens to his/her team gives the league the core value that the dollars and cents can be worth investing in. Stern and the likes, have polluted that image. Now it seems the games are played in boardrooms through conference calls to New York.
I'm not sure how this is all going to turn out for me as a fan. Right now, it's looking like the NFL will be the television featured in my house on Christmas Day. And for that, I'm sorry.
SIDE RANT
*****If you examine Gilbert's letter closely, he details how the initial trade may benefit the Lakers as they were to get Paul, while clearing salary from their books. And by doing so make themselves eligible later for even more attractive free agents. Under the rules mind you that the owners just agreed to. What he didn't say which is apparent, is that he (Gilbert) was not smart enough to do the same. And that no attractive free agent will ever want to play for his team because of his ineptness not to mention the way he showed his ass after LeBron left. What he was essentially saying is, "Thanks to me the Cavaliers ARE the Washington Generals. Since I don't have managerial smarts or the ability to make my team attractive so stars will want to play in Cleveland, let's focus on making teams like the Lakers suffer so that my idiocy is not so apparent." I mean, what has he done to date thus far to improve his own situation?

Random Thoughts & Mini Rants
Michael and Murray
One of the things that really bother me about the Conrad Murray trial is the total denial on behalf of the Jackson family and friends. Let me be clear. I grew up loving me some Michael Jackson. He is a musical icon beyond measure. I have respect for the King of Pop and the hurt that the family has for losing their most talented son, sibling, and friend. But for his family and friends to get on TV and act as if the same Michael Jackson who totally lost his childhood; had multiple plastic surgeries to the point of totally restructuring his face, (and lied about it on TV saying he only had one) clearly the most eccentric and driven figure in the history of show business with all of his ups and downs with the Pepsi accident, multiple child abuse allegations including a trial, that it would be IMPOSSIBLE for him to be hooked on drugs; "He's such a caring person. A great father. He's not the type," I've heard it said from Jermaine Jackson to Kathy Hilton and Dionne Warwick. Well caring people who love and are attentive to their children can indeed be drug addicts.
Conrad Murray's role as a physician was reprehensible, and he shouldn't be able to practice medicine again. Still, being the personal physician and catering to whatever Michael Jackson wanted for 150K per month is something many other doctors would have busted the door down to do if he hadn't. Michael Jackson was the boss. And for these folks and fans to act as if they want to put all of this on Murray is ridiculous! We've all dealt with family members who did their own things and you couldn't tell them anything. I was one who fit that mode a time or two in my life. I find it too hard to believe that they didn't know what was up. The Jackson family could have had an intervention when Michael shrugged away from them. I think the bottom line was that that cat was paying too many bills for them to confront him. And like the rest of us they didn't think the very worse case scenario could happen to Michael. As a result, now they are just looking to blame someone else for their own lack of action in hopes that it will cover their hidden shame and perceived failures.
**PS… Media please stop showing that picture of MJ deceased on the gernee. It's wrong and disrespectful!
Obama vs the CBC
Sometimes the POTUS kills me. I never expected him to be president of black folk. He should govern the United States accordingly without leaving black folk behind as most presidents have. For all intents and purposes he's made it clear in one way or the other that he doesn't want to appear to appease to Black Americans. He's tried his best to be Teflon Don. But for whatever reason he feels the need to lecture and speak maternally to groups of black people as if they owe him something. This past week wasn't the first time.
He sounds like a man who pays no attention to his wife and kids and then chews them out for 'crying about it.'
Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining. Stop grumbling. Stop crying. We are going to press on. We've got work to do.
I mean who wrote THAT speech? Were 'Lazy and Shiftless' too busy last weekend to make it in?
Suffice it to say I think his tone was kind of shitty. But I will accept it as soon as he starts talking to white folks, Hispanics and Jews with that same tone. (Speaking of my Jewish peeps… Happy Rosh Hashanah! ) Critique of policies or lack thereof is part of being any politician let alone POTUS. And loyalty is a two way street. We are sophisticated enough to be both loyal and critical. I'm not on that Tavis Smiley kick either cause he and West are working my last nerve. If the POTUS want's some, he has to give some. Hell I don't know. Just treat us like you do Boehner and the Republicans. That's a start! If you don't that's fine. Just don't come up in the spot talkin mad sh*# like you're the pimp and we're the hoes that better get in line!
***Now the other side to that is this. I don't see big business hiring until Obama is out because they don't want things to get better while he's in there. They'd rather wait till Romney or Perry gets in whether it's next year or an additional five. To say they don't hire because of 'uncertainty' is a crock of sh#! Name me one business that has total certainty that isn't named the NFL with it's astronomical guaranteed TV revenue? Part of being a business organization is operating in a way that is proficient and profitable. Bush sure as hell didn't make anything more 'certain' when he was in office when this recession got started. I'm just keeping it 100!
David as Goliath!
So the latest I hear about the NBA negotiations is that the owners are asking for in addition to more overall revenue, for current player salaries to be cut by five percent on all existing salaries for this season, a 7.5 percent reduction of all 2012-13 salaries and 10 percent reduction of 2013-14 salaries. It's ain't my money or nothing, but Stern must be crazy. Or is he?
I guess the tale-tale sign will be whether the players who are not stars and who have not already signed a deal with a team overseas have not spent all of their money and are able to hold out. Only an idiot would spend all of his money knowing this lockout was looming for the last couple years. But we all know there are plenty of those in professional sports. We'll see.
***Pac Man vs. Money May… let's get it. Enough already!

LeBron, Harpo and Dan Gilbert's Huckleberry!
In the midst of LeBron-A-Thon ending with the TV non event of the year, let's just start with Cleveland Cavalier's majority owner Dan Gilbert's letter to Cav's fans:
Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"
You can take it to the bank.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.
Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.
The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.
Just watch.
Sleep well, Cleveland.
Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day….
I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:
DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue….
Ouch! I suppose that felt good to old 'Danny Boy'. But by responding in this fashion, he's made himself look even worse than "King Prince James."
Make no mistake about it. This LeBron-A-Thon which started around the same time as the NBA Finals with LeBron going on Larry King, Nightline, and any other show short of Oprah, (I'm sure they called her) was a farse to begin with. The Celtics were playing the Lakers for godsakes. Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Pau Gasol and Derek Fisher were going against Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. Doc Rivers was trying to win his second NBA title in three years as Celtics coach. Phil Jackson was in the midst of winning his 11th as coach. At that point, personally I didn't give a damn about what LeBron was going to do. His team was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs. Still he couldn't resist but to move the attention on to himself.
The primetime ESPN special was also a joke. How vain can one get; Especially since the "Chosen One" that hasn't won in the NBA? Sure I watched it! It was the ultimate train wreck. I rubbernecked from start to finish and watched James sit uncomfortably as Jim Grey threw James softball after softball questions that he could not seem to hit out of the infield. To hear James tell it, Cleveland wouldn't be Cleveland if it were not for him. In reality, he didn't do more than Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, Ron Harper and Larry Nance for the Cavaliers franchise. And two consecutive MVPs or not, the difference between he and Kobe Bryant isn't even close. Bryant is clearly more concerned about his historical basketball legacy in which greatness is clearly defined by championships. James is more concerned with branding, merchandise and ego. For all of his talents, he thinks more highly of himself than he should. He was created to be that way since he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated while driving that Hummer around in High School. And yea, the story is marketable in a summer where there is nothing but baseball and a boring soccer matches hardly anyone cares about.
That being said: Dan Gilbert's self-righteous victimized rant came off as if LeBron slept with him for a night but didn't stick around to cuddle the next morning. This is the same man who would have given his chosen one $130 million for 6 years had James decided to stick around in C-Town.
Gilbert wants to rant on LeBron about loyalty? Hell last I heard James was a free agent as of July 1. This was indeed his time to choose whatever team he wanted to chose. The real issue is that with James' departure, the value of the Cavaliers franchise dropped faster than a bad stock. Last night may as well be called Black Thursday as far as Gilbert is concerned. Still I'd like to ask him about loyalty when it came to coach Mike Brown who won the most NBA games this past season. I'd like to ask him about his courting of college coach Tom Izzo as if he were going to take the Cavaliers anywhere let alone have the respect of James as well as other NBA players. LeBron never went to college so why would he respect a college coach? I'd like to ask him why he ran out one of the best GMs in the league in Danny Ferry.
Is Gilbert the pot or the kettle that's all I'm asking here. Now he's barking off about how LeBron quit in the playoffs throwing the guy under the bus. And any of this talk about leaking more of LeBron's tresepasses I'm sure has been shut down by a phone call from David Stern.
My favorite quote of his entire letter is this one:
Are you serious? Were you just watching The Color Purple Thursday afternoon because it sounded very much like what Celie told Albert:
"Till you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna' fail."
Gilbert's eagerness to court James and willingness to give him a max deal, then slamming him as James headed to South Beach is tantamount to a thug who pursues a woman at the club. After being turned down several times finally fires back with something like this: "F'-U then! I didn't want your number anyway."
As much as James is a self-glorified egomaniac, the fact of the matter is that he did indeed give the Cavaliers and the city of Cleveland seven exciting years. He made the team and the city a lot of money. It was an even trade-off. Now that the affair is over, it's over. Gilbert should turn the page. And if he can't, he should touch himself and think of the memories.

Q: is there any query profiler in cosmos db? I'm a newbie at cosmos db. and i'll be glad if someone help me to find how to catch queries that are going on local emulator. the reason why i'm asking is that now query string is appended in a few steps via linq and i need to be sure that query builder returns correct query string.
thanks in advance!

A: By the sound of it you are using the C# SDK and LINQ to query your database.
Once your LINQ query is ready you should be doing queryable.AsDocumentQuery() to generate a DocumentQuery object and the use that to do while(documentQuery.HasMoreResults) documentQuery.ExecuteNextAsync<yourtype>().
If that's not the case then you are using the SDK in an non optimal way.
All you need to do to get the generated SQL query is to do a .ToString() on the documentQuery object and you gonna get the translated query back.

A: In order to see the interactions between your application and Cosmos DB database, you can use Cosmos DB Profiler tool. It shows queries that are sent to Cosmos DB and stacktrace of relevant code that generated them.
The profiler shows statistics for each operation like duration, response status code, query execution metrics etc and also the request units for each request to a database what allows to optimize query costs.
It also alerts users about common pitfalls when using Cosmos DB and recommends how to resolve them.
Available reports provided by the profiler allow to analyze Cosmos DB usage by an application.

Spc. Eric G. Palacios Rivera
Eric's mother Cayetana Palacios talks about Eric next to his nieces, Emily, 12, and Erika Rivera, 5.
Hometown: Atlantic City, NJ.
Died: November 14th, 2006
Unit: 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regt., 2nd Brigade Combat Team1st Infantry Div.
Birth: Oct. 1, 1985
Death: Nov. 14, 2006, Iraq
Army Spc. Rivera was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, Schweinfurt, Germany. Rivera died of injuries sustained when his unit came in contact with enemy forces using small arms fire during combat operations in Ramadi. His job in Iraq consisted of training Iraqi soldiers in Baquba and gathering intelligence on insurgents. He kept his wife calm by telling her he was working a desk job when he was actually kicking in doors and battling through firefights. Eric graduated from Atlantic City High School in 2003 and joined the Army shortly after. Instead of seeking his family's approval, he surprised them with the decision and he re-enlisted the same way last June. Ultimately, he wanted to spend 20 years in the Army, retire, and then join the Atlantic City Police Department's SWAT team. Eric was a happy, helpful, generous person who could get people laughing. He also was strong and brave and would never back down from anything. While his family gathered in the family home mourning him, the postman delivered a letter Eric wrote November 3 and mailed November 5. In it he said, "Right now, current operations are busy. We just sleep what we can. We would raid at least eight buildings, that's including schools and other gov't areas. Oh yeah, there are bomb caches in schools hidden. But thank the Lord that loves me that I have not been shot in the face yet." At the end of the four-page letter, Eric told his brother, who is attending the police academy, that he wanted to see the academy graduation. "It would mean a lot to me if I see you like you saw me in my uniform". He ended the letter by telling him not to tell their mom that he was in Iraq. Their mother was so worried about Eric that he and his brother told her he was in Germany. She only learned the truth after he died. He was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received in action and the Bronze Star Medal.
Atlantic County Veterans Cemetery
RIVERA, SPECIALIST ERIC G. PALACIOS 21 - of Atlantic City, died in Ar Ramadi, Iraq November 14, 2006 as a result of wounds received in action. Born and raised in Atlantic City. Eric attended the local school system and graduated from Atlantic City High School. He will be remembered as always a happy, helpful and kind person, always willing to lend a hand and he always had a smile on his face. He was a natural leader. Eric enlisted in the U.S Army following graduation. After Basic Training, Eric was assigned to his unit in Germany. Assigned to Company B, 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment he saw action during Operation Iraqi Freedom. His unit was deployed to Iraq for a second time in September serving in the Ar Ramadi area where he was mortally wounded. He was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received in action and the Bronze Star Medal for "Meritorious service for his duty performance and selfless service in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself" He died doing what he loved-the Army and helping people. He will be sadly missed by family and friends. Eric is survived by his mother Cayetana Palacios of Atlantic City, brother Jefferson Rivera of Atlantic City, niece Emily Rivera of Atlantic City and many friends.
Every day he's on the job, Atlantic City police Officer Jefferson Rivera wears dog tags bearing his brother's name: Army Spc. Eric G. Palacios Rivera.
Eric, his only sibling, was 21 when he was killed in a firefight in Ramadi, Iraq, in November 2006.
"He got killed the day he was supposed to leave for a visit home," Jefferson said. "One of his buddies said the guys were under fire, and (Eric) was the platoon leader. They needed someone to go out front (to provide cover). Even though he was leaving in a few hours, he went."
The rest of the platoon got to safety, said Jefferson, 33, of Egg Harbor Township.
"I know he loved the military," Jefferson said of his brother, who was on his second tour in Iraq. "He'd do it all over again."
The brothers grew up together in Atlantic City. Jefferson said he feels the pressure of being his mom's only surviving child.
"Especially with my job, you never know," Jefferson said. "I was working vice for five years, and it was all guns and drugs. It made me more careful. I don't want my mom receiving another folded-up flag."
Their mother, Cayetana Palacios, of Atlantic City, has worked at Caesars Atlantic City for 30 years in environmental services. She said time has helped her.
"I still have pain and suffering, but time has healed it a little bit," she said through a translator and friend, Ida Martinez, of Atlantic City. "Having the support from family and friends is important."

Q: How to enable cross origin on wildfly? I deployed my spring boot app by using wild fly.
But when I inspect my application there it is given that
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

I just want to allow my domain for example like:-
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: '192.10.0.1:9991'

How do I achieve it or implement it.

A: You can configure this while providing a bean of type WebMvcConfigurer:
@Configuration
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {

    @Override
    public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {

        registry.addMapping("/**")
            .allowedOrigins("192.10.0.1:9991")
            .allowedMethods("GET", "PUT", "DELETE");

        // Add more mappings...
    }
}

The Spring documentation provides more detailed information about how to configure CORS.

Miláček z Paříže (v originále Monpti) je německý hraný film z roku 1957, který režíroval Helmut Käutner podle vlastního scénáře. Film byl natočen podle románu maďarského spisovatele Gábora von Vaszary. Film popisuje osudy dvou chudých milenců v Paříži.

Děj
Ingar Vaszary je mladý maďarský malíř žijící v Paříži. Bydlí v levném hotelu v ulici Rue des Bernardins s výhledem na katedrálu Notre-Dame a vydělává si prodejem svých kreseb. Jednoho dne se na lavičce v Lucemburské zahradě seznámí s mladou dívkou Anne-Claire z bohaté rodiny, která ho začne oslovovat Monpti (z francouzského mon petit, miláček). Ihned se do ní zamiluje. Slíbí si, že se zde nazítří nebo pozítří potkají, ale minou se. Jejich příběh se prolíná s párem o něco starších milenců – vdané ženy Nadine a jejího milence, kterému rovněž říká Monpti. Malíř si na květinovém a ptačím trhu koupí malého kačera, kterého pojmenuje Napoleon, aby nebyl sám. S Anne-Claire se opět potká a tráví spolu každý den. Zve ji k sobě do hotelu, procházejí se spolu po nábřeží Quai du Louvre, kde Monptimu uplave jeho kačer po Seině. Anne-Claire Monptimu vypráví o své bohaté rodině a ukáže mu, kde bydlí. Monpti ale zjistí, že Anne-Claire bydlí v omšelém hotelu v Latinské čtvrti jako on. Rozzlobí se, že mu lhala, a ujede od ní taxíkem. Anne-Claire se za ním rozeběhne, ale porazí ji auto, které řídí Nadine. Monpti se za ní vydá do nemocnice, kde mu Anne-Claire řekne, že je velmi chudá a vše si vymyslela, aby ho neztratila. Monpti jí odpustí a slíbí jí, že ji druhý den navštíví. Anne-Claire však druhý den zemře. Monpti, aby nebyl sám, si koupí opět malé káče, které pojmenuje Joséphine.

PTO- Dinh Chung is a communal house of the Muong people, built on a high hill in Dinh Chung Village, Giap Lai Commune, Thanh Son District. The communal house is place for worship of Mount Saint Tan Vien and Quy Minh, Cao Son; those who took credits of gathering people, building villages and named as tutelary gods.
Dinh Chung Festival is held on the 14th and 15th days of the lunar February each year. With the belief of worshiping Tan Vien Mount Saint, Dinh Chung Communal House also worships his mother, Ms. Dinh Thi Den. The worship of Mother here is in line with Vietnamese's common worship of Mother such as Mother Au Co, Mother Earth, making the national identities of Vietnamese spiritual culture.
According to the villagers, the communal house was built in the late nineteenth century. In the past, the communal house was made of wood columns and palm leaves. The communal house was repaired in 1938. During the resistance wars, the communal house's architecture has been damaged. In commemoration of the predecessors' merits, in 2010, the local authorities and people rebuilt the communal house on the existing ground and restored worship as well as the traditional customs.
Dinh Chung has still preserved the jade records of relics, and historical deeds of the gods to be worshiped here besides some wooden objects and antiquities dating back to the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century such as: chests, wooden censers, merit lists. Dinh Chung is associated with the history of the formation and development of Giap Lai Commune, is also a place for spiritual activities, connecting the village community. The communal house was ranked as a cultural and historical vestige of the province in 2012.
Dinh Chung Festival was annually taken place with many traditional cultural activities of the Muong indigenous people. The sacrificing includes procession and offering according to the traditional rituals.
Dinh Chung Festival attracts the local people and their relatives who are living, studying and working away from the home village and the people in the surrounding areas.

Google Ferry joins Google Buses
The Google ferry was launched Jan. 6 at the Port of San Francisco for its inaugural trip to Redwood City, where Google workers would presumably be bussed to its Mountain View HQ. No word yet whether it was greeted by protests met by its buses in S.F.
January 9, 2014, 8am PST | Irvin Dawid
Cole Chapman writes that "the ferry runs twice in the morning and twice at the end of the day." He indicates that the demonstrations, some of which have become destructive against the ubiquitous Google buses within San Francisco as they are seen as symbols of tech-driven gentrification, may have prompted the employer to seek less visible ways to transport its workers.
"We certainly don't want to cause any inconvenience to SF residents and we're trying alternative ways to get Googlers to work," said Google in a statement provided to Re/code.
As noted here on Wednesday, Google and other operators of exclusive luxury buses transporting workers south to the Peninsula and Silicon Valley "will require permits and payments under a new 18-month pilot program." The San Francisco Chronicle editorialized on Wednesday, "One Google bus means 50 or more cars taken off the road, transit experts estimate. But the lumbering, dark-tinted vehicles dawdle at Muni bus stops, straddle driving lanes and are a handy stand-in for the numerous ills that afflict San Francisco life, circa 2014."
According to the KPIX broadcast, unlike the region's congested highways, there's plenty of unused capacity on San Francisco Bay, and the Port appeared to welcome the new business. Allen Martin of KPIX writes that "the Triumphant holds 149 passengers (and) the ride takes about 47 minutes each way."

Location Stamsund
This charming fishing village is located on the south side of the island of Vestvågøy in the Lofoten archipelago, along the Vestfjord. With a population of 1,000, Stamsund is an important fishing port and the largest base for Lofoten trawl fishing. Gradually, more and more tourists discover Lofoten, with its marvelous scenery, enhanced by the midnight sun in the summer and the northern lights in the winter. Lofoten's legendary seasonal fishery takes place from January to April, with bustling activity on land and sea. The waters off Stamsund offer excellent opportunities for fishing, especially in March. The surrounding mountains offer ample opportunities for hiking.
Location Bodo
Surrounded by sea and fjord, the light in Bodø constantly shifts with the wind and weather. And then there's the exotic fact that both the midnight sun and northern lights can be seen from here. Bodø is the capital of Nordland county and lies just north of the Arctic Circle where the midnight sun is visible from 2 June to 10 July. Due to atmospheric refraction, there is no true polar night in Bodø, but because of the mountains south of Bodø, the sun is not visible from the city from early December to early January. Monthly average number of sun hours in Bodø peaks in June with 221 hours.
Location Rorvik
Rørvik is a port village in the municipality of Nærøysund in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is on the eastern side of the Vikna archipelago on the island of Inner-Vikna. The 1.82-square-kilometre village has a population of 3,129 and a population density of 1,719 inhabitants per square kilometre.

Location Alesund
Ålesund is mostly known for its unique Art Nouveau architecture, which was in fact the result of a disaster. In 1904, the larger part of Ålesund was destroyed in a devastating fire. In an act of excellent foresight, it was decided to rebuild the town entirely in Art Nouveau, the fashionable style of the time. Most of this beauty has been preserved. If you look up as you explore the town, you will be enchanted by the rounded towers, sinuous lines and foliate forms typical of Art Nouveau.
Location Bergen
Bergen is surrounded by seven mountains, and one of the most popular attractions of the world: the fjords. The city offers the ideal combination of nature, culture, history and exhilarating city life. What has made Bergen famous is its unique charm, which is something you have to experience for yourself. Enjoy strolling around the old streets and alleyways where people have lived for centuries.
Walking through UNESCO-listed Bryggen's narrow alleyways, made even darker and more mysterious by overhanging balconies, feels like stepping back in time. Bryggen is not a museum but part of the cultural heritage that is still in use – a living historical area of the city. The Fløibanen Funicular is a very popular attraction, running from the city centre to the top of Mount Fløyen in about 7 minutes. From the viewing platform you can admire spectacular views of the city, mountains and fjords. In addition to the wide range of hikes, you'll find a restaurant, café, souvenir shop and playground.

A Quiz You Can't Fail!
I'm a bit of a dichotomy. I'm very nice, if you ask most people who know me well. Sometimes, too nice. But if you ask people who don't like me, you'll hear that I'm too aggressive, too direct. I express my feelings in a way that's off-putting to some, especially when I get tired of pretending. In situations where I feel the need to pretend—such as in relation to smiling and putting up with hurtful criticisms of who I am as a person from the Mother Of The Guy I Am Currently Dating, or from my own mother—I can only stand it for so long before something in me explodes. The longer it takes to explode, the more anger and resentment build within me, and I often become moody and withdrawn, allowing the hurtful things that go unexpressed to become real feelings I harbour about myself, to tear me down.
So, I was very curious what the inventory on this subject would say about my level of assertiveness.
Ability to express opinions, thoughts and wishes in a clear, direct way, even if there's the potential for rejection or disagreement.
According to your results on the Assertiveness Test, you are doing quite well in this department. You have developed most of the necessary skills and the self-confidence to stand your ground, whether it's with family, friends, or colleagues. You know that you deserve respect from others and the way you behave encourages others to treat you accordingly. You certainly demonstrate some leadership potential. Just be aware of your actions so that when you assert yourself, you are not overly aggressive – you don't want to come across as hostile or bossy. As long as you show as much respect for others as you expect in return, you are on the right track.
Acting with confidence to voice a personal opinion.
You rarely hesitate to address the issues that concern you the most. Whether it's noisy neighbors or a raise you feel you deserve, you'll immediately bring it to attention. You express yourself freely, asserting your personal rights with the confidence that your request is reasonable. As a self-assured individual, you are comfortable with letting others know you disagree with them, especially when you feel you're being treated poorly. This approach shows that you feel you deserve respect and expect others to treat you this way.
Ability to stand up to those who might be intimidating.
Your skills are average when it comes to assertively dealing with authority figures. You are sometimes able to stand up for yourself quite well, but in other situations you can be overwhelmed by feelings of insecurity. Perhaps you feel inferior or don't think that your opinion is as important as that of others. Unfortunately, these beliefs allow your self-doubt to get in the way. Keep in mind however, that you have something worthwhile to contribute too.
The ability to take action despite the risk of rejection or embarrassment.
While you are sometimes able to put yourself on the line, you tend to hesitate when it comes to showing your vulnerable side. If there is a lot of emotional risk involved in a situation – like the potential to be rejected or embarrassed – you might choose to avoid it altogether. Perhaps you are unsure about your ability to bounce back from humiliation or you just don't think you have the confidence to pull it off. Occasionally, you might decide that the potential benefits are worth it but that doesn't happen too frequently. This is something you may want to start doing more often. It is essential to take gambles if you want to achieve your goals.
Allowing the needs of others to take precedence over own desires.
When you feel that what you want may be in conflict with the desires of others around you, you are torn between giving in to their needs and expressing your own. While you dislike being treated like a doormat, you could end up feeling like you are the victim in a situation because you don't deal with the perceived injustice effectively. You try not to take the blame for things you are not responsible for but if you keep telling yourself that your opinion is just as valuable as anyone else's, you'll soon find it easy to add in your two-cents when asked.
Using aggressive tactics, such as intimidation, physical force or manipulation.
According to the results of this test, you often use aggressive tactics, like intimidation or swearing, to get your point across. Some would say that there is a fine line between assertiveness and aggression, but there are definite differences. Assertiveness is the ability to express opinions, thoughts and wishes in a clear, direct way, even if there's the potential for rejection or disagreement. Aggression is unnecessarily forceful, hostile, demanding, or even manipulative. Aggression shows disrespect for other people, since it does not allow them to assert their own rights. It puts your own needs above anyone else's and takes the focus away from the topic at hand. The use of aggressive tactics is counterproductive and should be avoided at all costs.


Your home is considered your "castle", the place where you can relax and feel secure. Not necessarily just from burglars, but in addition from any bugs or rodents. Proper pest control is critical to sustaining your castle, as an infestation can cause extensive damage to the framework, as well as flooring, and even fixtures. Under are a few infestations control methods to keep your home free of any problems.
Most of the pest control methods available on the market are easy-to-use and give you a simple design. In order to effectively eliminate a pest problem at home it is first necessary to identify the specific type of pest or bug and then use the best pest control device to assistance with eradicating the problem.
When considering pest control, most would not associate the term "green" with this service or the industry as a whole. Rather, a stereo-typical exterminator of unknown beginnings spraying chemical everywhere without regard to people or the environment is more likely to come to mind. And while that (or at least part of it) could possibly have been true in the past, today's pest control methods can be quite environmentally friendly and if chemical can be used, applied judiciously with regard to health insurance and property. In fact, many pest control companies now practice Integrated Pest Supervision (IPM). This approach provides customers most abundant in non-evasive, eco friendly and effective infestation management. IPM technicians are not only certified specialists, there is a keen understanding of pest pressures in their region, the behaviors of insects and rodents and utilize technologies and procedures that allow them eradicate unwanted pests in a manner that will not compromise the health and safety of people, property or the atmosphere.
The key to remember is that our company is proceeding for balance. After all the organic and natural methods of pest control are in place, we will be left with a perfect balance of non-harmful pests, plant life and natural pest control methods. Chemicals, fertilizers and overplanting are what we are trying to avoid, because these affect a garden's health and a harmonious relationship.
The majority of individuals with gardens feel that utilizing all-natural pest control methods at once is the best way to have a healthy garden. The term for this is IPM, or integrated pest management. It is defined as a blend of making certain plants get enough drinking water, light and food, using physical barriers, attracting creatures that eat pests, and planting vegetation that appeals to the pest's natural potential predators. Within the conclusion it means that your garden will no longer rely on chemicals but will have an ecosystem that is balanced and in a harmonious relationship with the plants and animals around it.
Appealing to wildlife that eats unwanted pests is one of the most recent and least used pest control methods, but it is quite effective. This can mean putting bird feeders out to attract certain species of bird that feed on pests. This is step to a well-balanced ecosystem in your garden, because it means you will have the perfect amount of pests for the amount of wildlife you are attracting.
Follow upward on your housecleaning by by using a variety of eco-friendly pest control methods. Making use of these methods helps you to avoid adding more toxins to your home. There are many methods of green pest control that are user friendly in an apartment and are also extremely effective at keeping the bugs away.

By Corruption Watch 10 Jul 2017, 16:35
Corruption Watch expresses its sadness at the news of the passing of Emma Mashinini, former Corruption Watch board member and loyal supporter of our work since inception. We offer our condolences, on behalf of board members and staff, to her family and her vast circle of friends around the country. Ms Mashinini had retired from her work with the board in 2015, due to ill health.
David Lewis, executive director, of Corruption Watch, commented: 'I have known Emma for many years. Her clarity, her integrity, her bluntness and her great charm, are going to be sorely missed. Emma really cared for her country and its people. Would that there were more like her.'
Her contribution to the trade union movement, and to the country as a whole, was exemplary, and the integrity and honesty that she demonstrated in her life will be greatly missed.
Ms Mashinini represented that school of leaders who worked tirelessly and selflessly to improve the lives of ordinary people. She became the first general secretary of the Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers' Union of South Africa (CCAWUSA) in 1975, and was involved in the formation of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) in 1985.
Her work brought her to the attention of the apartheid government, and she was arrested in 1981 under Section 6 of the Terrorism Act, and held in solitary confinement for six months. She demonstrated resilience under extreme pressure, and never let go of the dream of a non-sexist, non-racial, just and democratic South Africa. Thankfully she was able to witness that in her lifetime.
Although she will be greatly mourned, Ms Mashinini's life is still an inspiration to many generations that came after her. Corruption Watch is proud to have had her presence in our organisation, and we are grateful for the immense contribution that she made to our work.

Andy Murray setting sights on US Open seeds after early Wimbledon exit
Andy Murray has had enough of being handed tough early opponents at Grand Slams, and he has vowed to do something about it before the US Open.
Andy Murray says he will set his sights on earning a US Open seed after suffering a second round exit at Wimbledon.
Murray has done brilliantly to work his way back up the rankings after best part of three years out of the game with a serious hip injury.
However, he is still not quite high enough to be seeded in majors, and that is something that remains a frustration to him and one he is determined to rectify.
"I was coming into Wimbledon feeling like I could have a deep run," Murray said.
"If you're playing against top guys right at the beginning of the event, obviously makes it a little bit more challenging.
"That's kind of what my goals are between now and the US Open."
"I really want to try and improve my ranking to a level where I'm getting seeded in slams," he said. "That was a goal of mine sort of post-Miami.
"I've spoken to my team a lot about that, and that's something that I want to try and put my position -- put myself in a position hopefully come the US Open. If not the US Open, then going into the Australian Open next year where I'm seeded again.
RELATED: Andy Murray says early Wimbledon exit 'changes nothing' about his plans to return to top
"That means obviously I'll need to be out there competing and winning matches because it does make, like I said, things trickier.
Things did not go as well as Andy Murray had hoped at Wimbledon, with it actually being his earliest ever exit from the competition.
However, he says he is less angry about it that he was after his first round defeat to Stefanos Tsitsipas at the 2021 US Open.
"I was pretty angry after the US Open last year," he explained. "I was pretty angry after that match. Probably more so than I am just now.
"I feel disappointed right now. Obviously I wanted to do well here. I love playing at Wimbledon, a surface that I feel like I can still compete with the best guys on.
"It definitely, definitely hurts. But, yeah, US Open last year was certainly on a par with this if not worse."

New dark comedy 'Camouflage' to premiere ahead of Israeli occupation anniversary
Ahmed Masoud in rehearsals for 'Camouflage' © Jon Cornejo
On Thursday 18 May Amnesty International is hosting the premiere of a new play to mark the 50th anniversary of the Israeli military occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
"Camouflage", a dark comedy by acclaimed UK-based Palestinian writer and director Ahmed Masoud, shows the challenges facing Palestinians through four powerful first-person stories.
Thaer, a 13-year-old Palestinian-Syrian refugee on a boat in the perilous seas between Turkey and Greece, has something troubling him - and it's not the fact he might drown at any moment. Nibal, a 17-year-old girl finishing her exams in a school in Ramallah, is constantly refusing marriage proposals from suiters - but can't resist one particular man. Zeid, a 21-year-old taxi driver in Gaza is using Tinder to try to find a date. Meanwhile, aspiring actor Sami, is taking roles in the Israeli city of Haifa in order to establish a reputation.
"Camouflage" is a one-hour, one-person play performed entirely by acclaimed actor James El Sharawy. The theatrical production for "Camouflage" is by Cleo Capeille and Ian Fisher.
Ahmed Masoud said:
"When I wrote Camouflage, I wanted people to get closer to the lives of young people living under occupation and conflict, taking them on a journey that makes them see the place, smell it, feel it and at the same time laugh out loud. The play offers a collage of situations that zoom into what concerns young people in Palestine, and how they deal with such issues."
For decades, Amnesty has reported on a host of human rights violations associated with Israel's illegal military occupation of Palestinian territory, including severe restrictions on Palestinians' freedom of movement, the use of excessive - and frequently lethal - force against Palestinian protesters and other civilians, and the "administrative detention" of hundreds of Palestinians using closed military procedures.
Kate Allen, Amnesty International UK's Director, said:
"Israel's illegal military occupation of the Palestinian territories has been a 50-year-long tragedy for Palestinians, but intriguingly Camouflage tackles this tragedy with humour and tales of young love. Camouflage promises to be an enthralling experience."
What: performance of "Camouflage", followed by an informal drinks reception
Who: Ahmed Masoud, James El Sharawy, Cleo Capeille and Ian Fisher
Where: Human Rights Action Centre, Amnesty International UK, 17-25 New Inn Yard, London EC2A 3EA (Shoreditch)
When: Thursday 18 May, 7.30-8.30pm (doors open at 7:10pm)
Cost: £14.50 - tickets here.


Whether or not you need an attorney for a car accident depends on the severity of the accident. I would say if it's minor damage to a vehicle, or mainly a property damage claim, that's usually something you can handle on your own. If there are injuries involved, especially broken bones or anything that required a hospital stay, it's best to consult with a trial attorney. You should also consult with a trial attorney if you aren't sure about your rights or the terms of your insurance policy.
If you've been in a car accident, contact at Simpson Law Group. Their experienced attorneys will work with you to secure the compensation you need for all of your accident-related expenses.

The Inn is the place to experience tranquility. Tucked away in Old Town Key West, you will feel as if you have uncovered your hidden gem. The Paradise Inn is the perfect place to daydream and relax in the artful collection of quaint cottages and beautiful gardens. Just steps away from the best restaurants and the action of Duval Street our Inn has everything you need for your getaway.
I have nothing but wonderful things to stay about our stay at the Paradise Inn. Although it's only a block away from Duval street, you'll find that it's a peaceful, quiet, spotless property. My husband and I traveled with another couple and stayed in a two bedroom cottage. Each bedroom had it's own bath and we had a shared living room with a small fridge. Even though we shared the cottage, we each had our privacy, you wouldn't know there was anyone else in the cottage with you if you didn't know they were there. There is also a table and chairs outside the door where you can sit and relax and have a drink or eat your breakfast. The pool is set back in a tranquil setting. There were no children when we stayed, I think it's more of an adult property. I have already recommended the Inn to everyone who asks and my husband and I plan to return again next year. None of us wanted to leave.
Absolutely wonderful Inn close to Duval but you'd never know it! Quiet and beautiful compound with comfortable beds and charm to boot! Parking is tight but off street. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Will definitely be back!
Beautiful grounds, gorgeous room and friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend this hotel – great location within short walking distance of shops restaurants and the beach. Staff were very accommodative to our early arrival. Free parking which is important in Key West.

Research on the Pawnee Indians during the 1800's
by Dr. Pelham Mead
The Pawnee Indians were farmers and hunters. They planted corn and other crops and then went hunting for buffalo during the summer. When they came back they harvested their crops. They lived in the Kansas and Montana area during the 1800's. Before the white man arrived there were 10,000 pawnee. After small pox and other white man diseases and battles with the white men they were reduced to only 3,000 by the 1870's. The Pawnee are one of the few Indian nations to never declare war against the white man and his government. They became Scouts for the Army and later joined the Union army as soldiers.
The Pawnees had a Morning Star human sacrifice ceremony the Indian agents tried to stop them from practicing. They would capture a young Indian woman and string her up between two trees and torture her with fire before they killed her with arrows. The body was taken and laid face down on the prairie for her blood to enrich the soil for a good growing season. The last Morning Star Sacrifice was in 1843.
In 1867 Sioux Indians were hunting for buffalo in Montana. About 1500 braves were part of the hunt. Nearby a small hunting party of Pawnee braves, women and children were also hunting buffalo. The Sioux braves attacked the Pawnees in a small canyon and massacred everyone of them including their chief Good Knife. After that massacre the Pawnee survivors decided to move south to Oklahoma to avoid the white men and Sioux at the request of the federal government. There were no buffalo in Oklahoma so the Pawnee had to learn new trades in order to survive. The ground was to dry to plant vegetables. The only thing to hunt was deer and other small animals.
The Pawnee are considered the Wolf nation of native Americans and many stories about Wolves and Pawnees are most common.
