Q: Form submission inside ajax In my application on a button onClick, I am loading a form in an overlay using ajax. But this for submission is not redirecting to the required page.
I have tried the same form element without ajax and overlay, then it is working fine. So there is no problem with the form element. I think I am missing some settings to invoke form submission inside ajax.
I am using Web2py application.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
EDIT:
I have one more similar question. I am displaying a web2py SQLFORM for a db-table in an overlay using ajax. The form submission and data update is working fine. But after the form submit I want to close the overlay and reload the page. Right now, it is showing 'Server Error' inside the overlay. I am using LOAD() to load the form on overlay.

PUBLISHED SPRING 2015
Don't be fooled by the desolate setting. Although Persimmon Gap Ranch is miles from its nearest neighbor, the amount of scintillating conversation one encounters in the company of our 2014 Legacy Landowners, Katharine Armstrong and Ben Love, rivals anything one might overhear in New York or Washington.
The stark beauty of life in the Chihuahuan Desert defies the limited amount of rainfall the region receives.
Why do Americans venerate property rights to a degree unmatched anywhere else? How much value do private landowners create for their fellow citizens? Care for a little more crawfish étouffée?
Topics ricochet and laughter reverberates throughout our stellar luncheon at the ranch's sturdy headquarters.The fact that it's the wettest spring in memory heightens the tempo. The Loves bought Persimmon Gap in 1960, and Ben subsequently acquired it from his family.
That's how often he's seen this much moisture this early in the year. He happily admits to eyeing wildflowers that he's never seen before.
"I don't even know their names."
Ben says this with a smile on his face. Katharine wears a grin as well. When this couple's land is happy, they are happy too. It's contagious.
The couple's personal histories parallel one another to a remarkable degree. Both grew up on Texas cattle ranches: Katharine, 63, on the Armstrong Ranch in South Texas, and Ben, 70, along the Llano River on part of the Fitzsimons Ranch. Each has earned national renown: Katharine as a board member of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and later as the first woman to serve as its chairman, and Ben as a real estate attorney whose client list reads directly from The Land Report 100.
Home on the range gets an authentic upgrade at Persimmon Gap Ranch.
In addition to real estate, his legal expertise includes oil and gas, agriculture, natural resources, and property rights. He has been a Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association director since 1977, which is when he befriended Katharine's father, Tobin Armstrong.
"My father would come home from Cattle Raisers meetings singing Ben's praises. But he was married, and so was I. Funny how it only took a couple of decades for things to work out the right way," Katharine says.
It was while he was attending Texas Tech that Ben ended up migrating from the Texas Hill Country to the Trans-Pecos.
"In the late 1950s and early 1960s, my family was sending 2,000 to 2,500 yearlings to South Dakota every May, and they'd come out in October. We ran a full-time cow/calf operation at Llano. We ran about 500 mama cows in Dakota year-round. We were leasing ranches in Mason, Menard, and Llano counties to warehouse all of them. That's a lot of cattle. You've got to have a lot of places to put them. There are not many places where you can park 2,000 to 2,500 head of steers for several months. It took a long time to assemble them. We started receiving those cattle about the end of January, buying big-framed, lightweight steers out of Mexico. We were getting them at Presidio [100 miles west of Persimmon Gap Ranch] through a broker. Man, there was a lot of freight involved. Coincidentally we stumbled onto this place. It fit the steer program perfectly, and my family bought it in 1960," Ben says.
"As remote and wild as this country is today, what was it like back then?" My question elicits a long laugh from Ben.
"It was the biggest, wildest thing I'd ever seen, with mountain lions, bears, smugglers, and maybe a renegade Indian left over here and there. I couldn't get enough of it. This highway had been paved for about six months when we came here. You could break down on it, and you might be there for two days before somebody ever came along," he says.
Then why buy it?
Geologists from around the world journey to the westernmost part of the Lone Star State to study the Marathon Uplift, a standout feature visible from the Persimmon Gap Ranch.
"Because it was available, it was cheap, and it was an ideal place to warehouse steers heading to Dakota. Nobody in my family really had any affection for this ranch but me. I was the only one in my family who really fell in love with this place. It took me about 20 years to buy and trade and acquire the whole thing from my family. This is home to me and has been. I took care of it when I was going to school at Texas Tech. I was down here nearly every weekend if I wasn't playing polo somewhere."
By comparison, Katharine grew up on a legendary landmark. She knows it now, but she didn't realize it then. "I think I was a little bit provincial as a child. I had very sophisticated parents. We were not provincial in the sense that we didn't see the world. We certainly did. I think I was provincial in my attitude of how things were being done and taken care of. I lived in this incredible situation in South Texas where it's, as they call it, the last great habitat. The reason it's the last great habitat is because it's privately owned, privately managed, privately funded. I never thought of it that way until I started thinking about these things in policy terms. That forces you to think about not just your situation but everybody's situation," she says.
That approach is evident on her husband's ranch. "This ranch doesn't have cattle, but Ben keeps all the waters going. He is so religious about stuff that benefits wildlife. There's no economic return for doing that. He does it because he loves this place, he loves wildlife, and it's the right thing to do."
"Imagine if this ranch were a state park or a federal park," Katharine continues. "Imagine what it would cost taxpayers in full-time employees and all that sort of thing. This is a wildlife preserve that is virtually no cost to the taxpayers, and Texans do that all over this damn state."
Katharine Armstrong's friendship with Laura Bush dates back to an October 1977 polo match at the Armstrong Ranch that featured her father, Tobin (above left), Prince Charles (above right), Norman Brinker, Will Farish, Steve Gose, Bobby Beveridge, and John and Charles Armstrong.
Katharine's latest venture, Taking Care of Texas, is a project devised by her good friend Laura Bush. The two first met on Armstrong in 1977 when Laura's fiancé, George W. Bush, brought his bride-to-be for a polo match.
"Katharine and I work together on our new non-profit, Taking Care of Texas," Laura says in a video tribute to her friend that aired the night Katharine was awarded the 2015 T. Boone Pickens Lifetime Sportsman Award by Park Cities Quail in Dallas. "Her dedication to conservation comes from the heart, and her efforts are informed by a lifetime of ranch and hunting experience in South and West Texas. Her work has built a statewide legacy that will benefit Texans for many generations."
"Having shot quail with Katharine, I can attest to the fact that she is an incredible wingshot," says Laura's husband, the 43rd President of the United States. A guest at the Armstrong Ranch and at Persimmon Gap, President Bush has witnessed Katharine's talents firsthand. "She has a sharp eye, cracks great jokes, and she's a lot of fun." Katharine's sporting heritage dates back to her childhood on Armstrong. "When I was a little girl, I was just very competitive. So was my mother. She would never let being a girl stop her from doing anything. Anyway, I was about eight or nine, and I went to my mother, and I said, 'Mommy, I want to go shoot a buck.' And the way we did it back then, the first buck you ever shot, you would get your .222 — it was my mother's .222 rifle; I still remember that gun so well — you would take the gun and you would walk by yourself into this giant live oak mott on the north side of the headquarters. You just walked out there by yourself and you went and found a deer and you shot it and you marked it," she says.
"Then you would go get your father or a cowboy, and you would walk back out there and clean your deer with their help. My brother, Barclay, had done it the year before," she recalls.
"'Katharine, you can't do that.' Mother said."
"'Well, why not?' I asked."
"'Well, you're not old enough,' Mother said."
"'Well, Barclay did it. Barclay got to do it, Mommy.' I had a Mexican accent. 'Mami, it's not fair. Barclay did it. How come I can't?'"
She said, "Well, Katharine, you're a girl."
"I looked at her like really?"
"'No, you're right. You can do it,' she said."
Although the couple has traveled near and far, they are most at home on their ranches, especially at hunting camp with family and friends.
"So I went out and shot my first deer that way. If you think about it, with kids today, you can't ride your bike one block without wearing a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads, and your mother hanging on. I got to go walk out on my own with a loaded gun, shoot an animal, and do it responsibly at the age of eight or nine. That tells you a lot about how you go through life. My brother did it. My sister did it. Everybody did it. Too bad that's being lost."

У́зел — нечто связанное, переплетение верёвки на самой себе или концов двух верёвок между собой,  Свойства узлов при различных условиях могут изменяться. Главное свойство узла — функциональность, то есть предназначение. Один и тот же узел, завязанный по-разному, отличается. Различные способ завязывания одного и того же узла или применение одного и того же узла в разных областях деятельности человека образуют другой узел. Один и тот же узел, завязанный на разных материалах, отличается. Согласно «Книге узлов Эшли» английское слово  («узел») имеет 3 значения и подразделяют на 4 класса узлов:

…Слово «узел» имеет, в общем, 3 значения. В самом широком смысле применяют ко всему, завязываемому верёвкой, кроме случайно образовавшихся, например, колышек, или предназначенных на хранение верёвки бухт. Во втором смысле в термин «узел» не включают соединяющие узлы, штыки, сплесни. А в третьем, самом узком смысле термин «узел» применяют только к утолщению, завязанному на верёвке, чтобы предотвратить выхлёстывание троса (или только на тонких тросах — распад троса на пряди). В морском деле все узлы подразделяют на 4 класса: штыки, соединяющие узлы, утолщающие трос узлы, сплесни.

Этимология
Согласно «Этимологическому словарю русского языка Макса Фасмера» слово «у́зел» возможно восходит к праславянскому слову *vǫzlъ и происходит из глагола *vęzati («вяза́ть»). Также однокоренными являются слова: «узы», «союз», «вязать», «связь», «вяз», «связка», «вязка», «вязанка».

Классификация

1. Согласно книге узлов Эшли узлы во всех сферах человеческой деятельности, в общем, можно классифицировать на 4 класса:
 Штыки () — временно прикрепляют трос к объекту
 Соединяющие тросы узлы () — временно соединяют вместе концы двух коротких тросов в один длинный
 Утолщающие трос (сто́порные) узлы () — утолщения на тросе, петли, кнопы, декоративные узлы
 Сплесни () — постоянное соединение (сплесень) способом сращивания переплетением двух коротких тросов вместе в один длинный и постоянная петля (огон) на конце троса

2. Согласно книге А. Лебедихина «Основы альпинизма и скалолазания» в альпинизме узлы делят на 3 группы:
 Узлы для привязывания (или закрепления) (восьмёрка, булинь, двойной булинь, узел проводника)
 Узлы для связывания (грейпвайн, прямой, ткацкий, встречный, встречная восьмёрка)
 Вспомогательные узлы (узел UIAA, схватывающий, стремя, маркировочный, Бахмана, Гарда, рифовый (штыковой))

3. Согласно книге Захарова П. П. и Степенко Т. В. «Школа альпинизма. Начальная подготовка» в альпинизме узлы делят на 3 группы:
 Узлы для обвязки (булинь, узел проводника, восьмёрка)
 Узлы для связывания верёвок и лент (прямой, встречный, брам-шкотовый, грейпвайн)
 Вспомогательные узлы (схватывающий, Бахмана, карабинный, стремя, узел УИАА, Гарда, рифовый (штыковой))

4. Согласно книге А. Шамова «Способы и схемы вязки узлов и их применение в туристской технике» в горном туризме узлы подразделяют на 3 класса:
 Основные узлы — незатягивающиеся петли на конце или середине альпинистской верёвки для самостраховки (восьмёрка)
 Вспомогательные — затягивающиеся узлы для утолщения верёвки (двойной простой узел в качестве контрольного узла, предотвращающего развязывание основного узла)
 Специальные — тормозящие узлы для спуска или страховки (узел UIAA)

5. Согласно книге Грэма Маклахлена «Узлы: карманный справочник: 40 пошаговых инструкций для начинающих» узлы подразделяют на 4 класса:
 Крепёжный узел (выбленочный)
 Соединительный узел (шкотовый)
 Стопорный узел (восьмёрка)
 Узел с петлёй (беседочный, скользящий)

6. Согласно книге Демуса Валерия Анатольевича «Большая книга узлов. Рыбацкие, охотничьи, морские, туристские, альпинистские, бытовые» узлы подразделяют на 2 класса:
 Узлы, использующиеся в производстве, спорте, транспорте
 Морские
 Альпинистские, туристические, спелеологические
 Рыболовные, охотничьи
 Узлы для привязывания предметов
 Узлы для соединения верёвок
 Узлы, утолщающие верёвки
 Узлы-петли
 Быстроразвязывающиеся узлы
 Специальные узлы, выполняющие в каждой группе свои, присущие только им задачи
 Узлы, выполняющие декоративные и религиозные функции
 Мода
 Дизайн

7. Согласно книге Е. П. Леонтьева «Школа яхтенного рулевого» морские узлы делят на 3 группы:
 Узлы для связывания двух концов между собой (прямой, рифовый, шкотовый, брам-шкотовый, плоский)
 Узлы, применяемые при швартовке и буксировке (штык, штык с двумя шлагами, рыбацкий штык, рыбацкий огон, буксирный, шлюпочный)
 Узлы специального назначения (беседочный, двойной беседочный, удавка, удавка со шлагом, выбленочный, задвижной штык, буйрепный, восьмёрка, стопорный, гачный, двойной гачный)

8. Согласно книге В. В. Ткаченко и С. И. Стовбуна «Узлы и сети» рыболовные узлы можно разделить на 3 группы:
 Узлы, формирующие петлю
 Узлы для привязывания крючков
 Узлы для соединения лесок

9. Согласно книге Джефри Будворта «Узлы. Полная энциклопедия. Более 200 способов вязания узлов» узлы можно разделить на 3 группы:
 Простые узлы — все узлы, кроме соединяющих и крепёжных
 Соединяющие узлы — для связывания вместе двух верёвок
 Крепёжные узлы — для закрепления верёвки к предмету

По назначению
 Утолстить верёвку (простой)
 Привязать верёвку к предмету (выбленочный)
 Обвязать предмет для подъёма руками или с помощью грузоподъёмного механизма (бочечный)
 Связать 2 верёвки вместе или концы одной верёвки
 Одинакового диаметра и материала (грейпвайн)
 Разного диаметра и материала (брам-шкотовый)
 Вывести часть верёвки из действия (австрийский проводник)
 Сделать петлю на верёвке
 Затягивающуюся петлю (бегущий булинь)
 Незатягивающуюся петлю (булинь)

Выделяют декоративное назначение узлов. Существует отдельная классификация галстучных узлов.

Узлы классифицируют по применению; один и тот же узел, но завязанный по-разному или на разных материалах или для разных целей, отличают друг от друга, например:
 Используя узел, завязанный по-разному на разных материалах для разных целей, образовывают разные узлы (ткацкий, шкотовый)
 Используя узел, образовывают разные узлы (двойной простой, кровавый)
 Используя узел, образовывают разные узлы (булинь, шкотовый, бекетовый)

По разъёмности
 Быстроразвязывающиеся (рифовый)
 Дистанционно развязывающиеся — один конец верёвки выдерживает немалую нагрузку, но если потянуть за другой, то узел развяжется (ведёрный)
 Легкоразвязывающиеся (булинь)
 Трудноразвязывающиеся (констриктор)

По надёжности
Некоторые узлы склонны к саморазвязыванию, либо портят верёвку. Во времена парусного флота считали, что простой узел снижает надёжность верёвки в 2 раза; прямой узел — достаточно надёжен только при увязывании поклажи, а для связывания двух верёвок ни моряки, ни альпинисты его не используют, а похожий на него и часто завязываемый неумелыми людьми бабий узел очень легко скользит и развязывается. И прямой и бабий узлы унесли не одну человеческую жизнь.

По использованию компонентов верёвки
 Использующие верёвку целиком
 Требующие расплетания верёвки на пряди (сплесни). Такие узлы — сложнее, но прочнее и компактнее обычных узлов

Элемент узлов

 Коренной (грузовой) конец — конец троса, закреплённый неподвижно или не используемый при вязке узла. Противоположен ходовому концу
 Ходовой (рабочий) конец — незакреплённый свободный конец троса, которым начинают движение при вязке узла
 Пе́тля́ — изогнутый трос
 Открытая петля — изгиб верёвки, у которой концы — свободны
 Закрытая петля — изгиб верёвки, концы которой соединены вместе, но не перекрещены
 Колы́шка/калышка — изгиб верёвки, концы которой соединены вместе и перекрещены
 Полуузел — одинарный перехлёст двух (разных концов одного и того же троса или двух концов разных) тросов
 Обнос — обхват тросом какого-либо предмета (бревна, столба, другого троса, кольца, рыма, скобы, гака), сделанный таким образом, что оба конца троса не перекрещиваются
 Шлаг — полный оборот (360 градусов) каната вокруг какого-либо предмета (бревна, столба, другого троса, кольца, рыма, скобы, гака), сделанный так, что после этого конец троса направлен в противоположную сторону
 Полуштык — обнос тросом какого-либо предмета (бревна, столба, другого троса, кольца, рыма, скобы, гака) с последующим перекрещиванием тросом своего конца под прямым углом, без его пропускания в образовавшуюся закрытую петлю (не путать с названием узла «полуштык»)

Метод правильного завязывания узла
 Правильный внешний вид узла (узел должен соответствовать установленному рисунку)
 Завязывание узла без перехлёстов (позволяет легче развязать узел после нагрузки)
 Длина свободных концов, выходящих из узла, должна соответствовать не менее 10 диаметрам верёвки (если диаметр верёвки 10 мм, длина конца — 100 мм)
 Затягивание узла (после завязывания концы, выходящие из узла, нагружают, затягивая узел. Для страховочных узлов нагружение осуществляют весом тела. Амортизирующие узлы оставляют в полузатянутом состоянии и не затягивают перед использованием, так как вяжут на середине верёвки)

How do I keep my iron railings looking their best?
Newly installed iron railings can look wonderful when they are added to a residential or commercial property. And in fact, they can remain a beautiful part of your property for many years to come. But like all things, they will remain at their best only if they are taken care of.
Regular use, wear and tear, as well as exposure to the elements are all things that can over time, affect the appearance of your iron railings. Fortunately, with just a little regular maintenance, your railings can look great for a very long time.
The first thing that will affect your railing's appearance will be dust and dirt. This may be from people's hands when they use the rail, or from pollution or even from nearby construction that is kicking dust up into the air.
You may dust your railing with a microfiber cloth or for a deeper cleaning, mix a quarter cup of household cleaner with a half gallon of water and wipe down with a cloth. Dry your railing completely after cleaning it.
If your railing's finish is hot dipped galvanized, you will not have to worry about rust. If you've gone with a prime or paint finish, however rust will be a concern and you'll have to be on the lookout for rust in order to stop it in its tracks.
Your iron railing will come with a rust protective coating, however over time, some of this coating may wear off. If you start to notice areas of light rust, scrub them away with sand paper or a wire brush. If rust is severe, use a commercial rust remover and follow the instructions.
After rust has been removed, you should clean your railing to remove any dust left behind from the scraping. Follow the cleaning by applying some liquid wax which you should be able to find at a hardware or automotive store. The wax should be allowed to dry for several hours before buffing it off with a soft cloth.
If your iron railings are not galvanized, you will have to paint them periodically in order to keep them looking their best. A fresh coat of paint will help to keep your railing looking new and stave off rust.
If planning to paint your railings, first make sure that any existing rust is removed and that the railings are clean. The next step is to sand down the railings to the metal before cleaning and drying them once again.
Surrounding areas should be covered with a tarp in order to keep them clean. This includes concrete, decks, plants etc.
A rust resistant primer should then be sprayed onto the metal and left to dry. Once the primer has dried, you may then apply the paint. Spray paint is generally preferred as it will give you better coverage. Make sure that when painting, you get into every crevice.
Remember if you have an iron railing that has been galvanized, it will require little maintenance other than cleaning. Even if you go for a painted railing however, you can still keep it looking great with regular maintenance.

HFA Client Cerebras Creates Giant Computer Chip, Reports The New York Times
HFA client Cerebras, a three-year-old company backed by more than $200 million in funding, has created a giant computer chip designed to keep additional data on a single chip so a system can operate faster. HFA recently helped Cerebras recruit its VP, Software Engineering.
Cerebras' chip was recently featured in The New York Times, in the article "To Power A.I., Start-Up Creates a Giant Computer Chip," by Cade Metz, published on August 19, 2019.
An excerpt of the New York Times article is below, and you may access the entire article by clicking here.
The largest computer chips would usually fit in the palm of your hand. Some could rest on the tip of your finger. Conventional wisdom says anything bigger would be a problem.
Now a Silicon Valley start-up, Cerebras, is challenging that notion. On Monday, the company unveiled what it claims is the largest computer chip ever built. As big as a dinner plate — about 100 times the size of a typical chip — it would barely fit in your lap.
The engineers behind the chip believe it can be used in giant data centers and help accelerate the progress of artificial intelligence in everything from self-driving cars to talking digital assistants like Amazon's Alexa.
Some experts believe these chips will play a key role in the race to create artificial intelligence, potentially shifting the balance of power among tech companies and even nations. They could feed the creation of commercial products and government technologies, including surveillance systems and autonomous weapons.
Google has already built such a chip and uses it in a wide range of A.I. projects, including the Google Assistant, which recognizes voice commands on Android phones, and Google Translate, which translates one language into another.
"There is monstrous growth in this field," said Cerebras's chief executive and founder, Andrew Feldman, a chip industry veteran who previously sold a company to the chip giant AMD.

With the addition of Rampage events, we have started getting notifications on the screen (with a red "WARNING | AMPERIUM ATTACK" pop-up) when they start. Why not have some intense music start along with this message? It would be on for the duration of the event and turn off once it is over.
It'd also have "importance" higher than the usual music, so it'll override it for the duration of the event.
While it sounds cool, any repeating sounds get old real fast. The first time it is great. The 10th time it starts to get annoying, and the 100'th time your looking to see where do I turn that off. Personally, I have not played trove with sound in about 2 years. I have a fishing laptop that I will turn on the sound for when i'm fishing, but beyond that, I don't have the trove sounds turned on.
By your wording of "Intense", I can see some people translating that to be "Super annoying"
Also, would that music be turned off if you have unchecked the box in the setup for showing the hourly challenges? I would hate to have the contest not be displayed and have the music start up with no visible reason for it.
Maybe you could have the special music only play if you're in the Neon City and/or Luminopolis during the attack, but have other themes play as normal?
This is an option too, would be less annoying to the easily annoyed players.

Police-Public Contact Survey, 2008
The Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS) provides detailed information on the nature and characteristics of face-to-face contacts between police and the public, including the reason for and outcome of the contact. The PPCS interviews a nationally representative sample of United States residents aged 16 years or older as a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey. To date, the PPCS has been conducted five times by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS):
The first survey -- described in the BJS publication Police Use of Force: Collection of National Data (NCJ 165040) -- documented levels of contacts with police during 1996. The second survey -- described in Contacts between Police and the Public: Findings from the 1999 National Survey (NCJ 184957) -- recorded police-citizen contacts in 1999. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 1999: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 3151). The third survey -- described in Contacts between Police and the Public: Findings from the 2002 National Survey (NCJ 207845) -- covered interactions between police and the public in 2002. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2002: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 4273). The fourth survey -- described in the BJS publication, Contacts between Police and the Public, 2005 (NCJ 215243) -- covered interactions between police and the public in 2005. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2005: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 20020). The fifth survey -- described in the BJS publication, Contacts between Police and the Public, 2008 (NCJ 234599) -- covered interactions between police and the public in 2008. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2008 (ICPSR 32022).

> Do Forni
"The pleasure of taste begins at Do Forni, to rediscover the flavors of the most tempting culinary creativity."
The history of Do Forni restaurant hails back to the most characteristic and ancient traditions of the city. During the golden years of the Venetian Republic the bakery producing bread and sweets for the nearby convent of San Zaccaria (the Doge's Palace) was located here, in fact, and a small part was used as a typical Venetian tavern (with cicchetti appetizers).
After the fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797, the tavern was expanded to include the area previously used as bakery. It became a restaurant in the nineteenth century under its current name and it has been under the care of Mr Eligio Paties since 1973. Through his passionate vocation, understanding of the cultural importance of cuisine, and his innate hospitality, he has successfully turned Do Forni into a popular destination for all those who travel to Venice and wish to experience the noblest traditions of Venetian hospitality.
Do Forni Restaurant offers a traditional and elegant setting in its Venetian-style rooms, and luxurious in those rooms that faithfully reproduce the hospitality of an Orient Express dining car.
The restaurant is present in the gastronomic guides of the best restaurants in Italy.
The Doge of Venice Ludovico Manin recommended: "Prawns and Scallops on a bed of rocket with a dressing of lemon, oil, salt and pepper."
Do Forni features traditional Venetian cuisine, mainly based on seafood, with a menu offering fish and shellfish from the Adriatic Sea using centuries-old Venetian recipes enhanced by seasonal vegetables and delicate sauces, but also a refined interpretation of both Venetian and Italian cuisine that is influenced by international gastronomy in its preparation of local meats and vegetables.

Our cuisine combines the use of local meats and vegetables with the influence of international gastronomy.
The Wine Cellar
The restaurant has a large and well-appointed wine cellar; personally supervised by the Paties family, our wine cellar offers our clientele the finest wines from all the Italian regions, the most prestigious French wines and champagnes, as well as a wide selection of wines from international vineyards.
The elegance of the restaurant and the careful preparation and presentation of all foods have earned Do Forni restaurant numerous prizes and international awards.
Do Forni International Prize for Graphic Art and Other Events
Since 1986, the Do Forni restaurant has revived the tradition of the "Art Restaurant" by creating the International Prize for Graphic Art, awarded to two artists - one Italian and one international - selected from a shortlist of twenty invited participants, during the annual ceremony hosted at important locations in the city.
The works of the winning artists of all editions of the Do Forni International Prize for Graphic Art are on permanent display in the rooms of the restaurant.
Do Forni restaurant commemorated the second centenary of the death of Giacomo Casanova by creating a dedicated menu with recipes inspired by the era of the great Venetian adventurer and writer.
Food and recipes described in this publication actually come from original eighteenth century recipe books and include many curiosities about the culinary customs and the cultural traditions of Venice at that time.
The dishes on the menu were prepared and presented to the public during the many events organized in Venice all year round. All the illustrations in the menu are the work of the Venetian artist Ludovico De Luigi.

Many Christians think that the main purpose of being Christian is getting into heaven, but that is simply not true. The purpose of being a Christian is to follow the footsteps of our Savior and loving the world the way he loves us. Being a Christians isn't about our future nor is it only celebrating our past; it is being active in the present. It is living out the prayer we pray "thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven." It is our job as Christians to represent, mirror, and be the love of God here and now. It is a huge task and it can get us into trouble at times.
The early apostles knew this. The major leaders in our faith have all known this. But somehow we Christians in this modern world and in our current society are surprised when we suffer because of our faith. Here in 1 Peter we are reminded that it shouldn't be a surprise. Suffering is part of faith. If we are to follow in the footsteps of our Savior then they will lead us to the cross. We know the story, we understand Good Friday, so why are we surprised when it happens to us? Why is it a shock when the world tries to stop God's love from spreading and we suffer in the midst of this wrath?
It shocks us because we have a preconceived notion that once we start to follow Christ everything in our life will a 1960's poster, full of peace and love, man. We have a thought that the Christian way of life is like Jesus and us running towards to each other in slow motion in a meadow full of flowers. There is sweet music being played in the background as we finally embrace and then we twirl and smile until we die and go to heaven. I know I have mentioned this before but when I was in college I worked as a bag boy at the local Food Lion. One of the checkout girls asked me if I was a Christian and I told her yes. She looked at me and said, "then why do you look so unhappy." I shrugged but I guess I should have reminded her I was working at Food Lion packing up people's groceries. There is this idea floating out there that once we become Christians we will be walking around with smiles on our constantly on our faces, but this is the wrong impression of who are to be as followers of Christ.
There are a couple of ways the world views suffering. Those of the Hindu faith state that the desire is at the root of all human suffering and in order to remove that they should desire nothing. For Muslims they believe suffering tests their faith and corrects their unbelief. Buddhist's worldview is that existence is suffering and suffering is at the heart of the world. The Four Noble truths state this. The first one is that All is Suffering. The second, Suffering is caused by desire and attachment. The third noble truth stats that if one can eliminate desire and attachment one can eliminate suffering. The final one states that if a person follows the Noble Eightfold Path, once and eliminate suffering from their lives. These are some different ways to look at the reality of suffering but we Christians see it a little differently.
Our view is that suffering comes into our lives for a couple of reasons. St. Augustine said that since God has given us free will, we humans will sometimes decide to do the wrong thing. Suffering is the price we pay for this freedom. When we become a Christian cause and effect are still present in our lives. If I decide that I'm going to stop a truck with my bear hands on I85 I'm going to get myself killed, no matter how deep my faith is. The truck is going 70 miles per hour and standing in front of the truck will only end in one way, me becoming a road waffle. The decisions we make in life have an effect on us and when we choose to do the wrong thing suffering can happen. If we smoke for 30 years we shouldn't be surprised when we become sick. If we fool around on our spouse we should not be surprised when that relationship dissolves. Wrong decisions will equal suffering.
But sometimes life sends us suffering without reason. There we are going through life and then all of a sudden an accident, an illness, or death happens. When a natural disaster hits we look for a reason behind it but the truth is we live in a sin soaked world and creation doesn't act like God would like it too. Bad things happen, suffering happens, sometimes just because. We hate that answer because we would like to place blame somewhere but the truth is sometimes suffering just happen.
A third way we can bring suffering into our lives is making the right decision. When we stand up for God and do what God would like us to do in this world we should not be surprised if suffering follows. Remember this is what Peter is saying in this letter, "However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name." I know this sounds a little weird but Peter is saying that we should praise God that we can suffer in the name of Jesus. This doesn't make sense because we live in a culture that tells us luxury and comfort are supposed to be sought after. How can serving a loving and grace filled God lead to suffering.
One of the best ways I have heard this explained is look at Golgotha. There on the hill there were three different people being crucified. Two of them were thieves. One was unrepentant and knew that his bad choices lead him to where he was. He talked down to Jesus, and thought he should do things differently. The other thief asked for forgiveness and was forgiven but his sentence was still carried out. Once God had forgiven him the consequences of his actions were still in effect. Then there is the one on the third cross, who was the Son of God, the God Man. He was innocent and was dying our death to forgive us all of our sins. He was following the way of God and it led him to the cross. Each one took a different path but they still ended on the cross where there was great suffering.
The truth is as I started to write this sermon I wondered if we really understood what suffering is. We live in the richest country in the world and really anything we want or desire is just a credit card swipe away, so do we really know suffering? Do we really know suffering like others in the world know it? On all levels, no. We don't know being hungry really is. We have never experienced genocide. But we do on some level. Every week we call out names of people who are in desperate need of prayer and God's grace. We pray for children with cancer, deaths in families, people we know and care about who are dealing with horrible situations in life. We know suffering and it does have a face to it but there is something that we get confused about sometimes.
This brings up another myth out there that we need to squash this morning. We have this notion that God causes suffering. Now this might not be the direct way of thinking about it but when we interact with people who are suffering in life we say things that portray this notion. If a person loses a baby we may walk up to them and say, "God needed another little angel." Or "God has a plan for this, you will be okay." These are horrible things to say to someone who has just lost a baby. What you are saying is that our God is a baby killer who has to take children away from us so we can do his will. If God has to use the blood of kids to do his will then I don't want any part of this God. We need to stop suggesting these things to people because we are making our God look bad.
So what do we do with suffering then? How do we make sense of it? The truth is if you ask a person tell you their defining moments in life many times they will bring up moments of suffering. "That was the day he left me and I knew I had to make it on my own." "I can still see the doctors face when he looked at me and said, 'it's cancer." "To this day I don't know where the car came from." "One moment she was there and the next she was gone." Our lives are marked with suffering and the truth is suffering can inspire and people can grow through their time of trial.
As she grew up and in her adult life Emily Dickinson became a recluse and everyone around her was dying. Only after her own death would the world learn about her poetry. As she suffered in life she was inspired to write words that people connected with centuries after her own life and death. Listen to this poem entitled Hope.
Eric Clapton's son was only 4 ½ years old when he was playing in his New York apartment. The cleaning person had left the window open to air out the room and the boy ran past him and accidentally fell out of the 53rd story window. He landed on the roof of the 4 story building across the street. Clapton took almost a year off to deal with this tragedy but when he returned to performing he had written a song to help him deal with his son's death. Tears in Heaven was about this experience and when his Unplugged album hit it went all the way up to number 1. Tears in Heaven was also a number 1 hit and that year he won 6 Grammys for this album and its songs. People said they could see something different in him and his performance and playing reached another level.
In life we have our plan, our own expectations about what will happen but then there is a disruption. A moment when suffering enters and everything is changed. Whatever the reason, suffering comes in and we have to learn to deal with it and survive it. During this process we need to remember that God understands this because God went through it. God witnessed his only Son die innocently on a cross. God was nailed to that cross and hung there for us.
And all God's children said…Amen.

The discovery in Siberia of tree branches twisted together could be proof that Bigfoot really does exist, according to biologists.

Bigfoot fanatics claim that a "nest" of trees found in the Kemerovo region is evidence that the creature was roaming the region and building homes in the same way that orang-utans or gorillas would.
Bigfoot experts from Russia, Canada, the US and Sweden recently met at a conference in Moscow before mounting an expedition to Siberia, where stories of the "Wildman" abound, the Sun reports.
John Bindernagel, a biologist who took part in the expedition, told the paper: "We didn't feel like the trees we saw in Siberia had been done by a man or another mammal.
"Twisted trees like this have also been observed in North America and they could fit with the theory that Bigfoot makes nests.
"The nests we have looked at are built around trees twisted together into an arch shape."
Tories are too scared of their own shadow
Bigfoot 'body' dismissed as a hoax
Bigfoot, also known as sasquatch, is an apelike cryptid that purportedly inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America.
Sightings of similar creatures have been reported in Russia, France and the Himalayas, where it is known as the Yeti.
But scientists have in the past discounted the existence of Bigfoot and consider it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal, in part because of the large numbers thought necessary to maintain a breeding population.

True Genius: The Life and Science of John Bardeen: The Only Winner of Two Nobel Prizes in Physics (Paperback)
Vicki Daitch (author), Lillian Hoddeson (author)
Usually dispatched within 5 working days
What is genius? Define it. Now think of scientists who embody the concept of genius. Does the name John Bardeen spring to mind? Indeed, have you ever heard of him?
Like so much in modern life, immediate name recognition often rests on a cult of personality. We know Einstein, for example, not just for his tremendous contributions to science, but also because he was a character, who loved to mug for the camera. And our continuing fascination with Richard Feynman is not exclusively based on his body of work; it is in large measure tied to his flamboyant nature and offbeat sense of humor.
These men, and their outsize personalities, have come to erroneously symbolize the true nature of genius and creativity. We picture them born brilliant, instantly larger than life. But is that an accurate picture of genius? What of others who are equal in stature to these icons of science, but whom history has awarded only a nod because they did not readily engage the public? Could a person qualify as a bona fide genius if he was a regular Joe?
The answer may rest in the story of John Bardeen.
John Bardeen was the first person to have been awarded two Nobel Prizes in the same field. He shared one with William Shockley and Walter Brattain for the invention of the transistor. But it was the charismatic Shockley who garnered all the attention, primarily for his Hollywood ways and notorious views on race and intelligence.
Bardeen's second Nobel Prize was awarded for the development of a theory of superconductivity, a feat that had eluded the best efforts of leading theorists-including Albert Einstein, Neils Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Richard Feynman. Arguably, Bardeen's work changed the world in more ways than that of any other scientific genius of his time. Yet while every school child knows of Einstein, few people have heard of John Bardeen. Why is this the case?
Perhaps because Bardeen differs radically from the popular stereotype of genius. He was a modest, mumbling Midwesterner, an ordinary person who worked hard and had a knack for physics and mathematics. He liked to picnic with his family, collaborate quietly with colleagues, or play a round of golf. None of that was newsworthy, so the media, and consequently the public, ignored him.
John Bardeen simply fits a new profile of genius. Through an exploration of his science as well as his life, a fresh and thoroughly engaging portrait of genius and the nature of creativity emerges. This perspective will have readers looking anew at what it truly means to be a genius.

Steve Shaughnessy takes on the manufacturing challenge
By Maria Hadlow12 January 2010
Steve Shaughnessy, the new president of Skyjack Inc.
With around 25 years experience in access rentals Steve Shaughnessy has just completed his first week as president of Canadian manufacturer, Skyjack.
Having been a customer of Skyjack for around 17 years, Mr Shaughnessy told Access International, "I liked the company culture, the products and the quality. Having bought the machines over the years they more than live up to their marketing tag of 'equipment with the lowest total life cost of any in the industry'."
Like every other mainstream manufacturer with the bulk of its business in North America and Europe, Skyjack has suffered from a significant sales decline over the last 18 months or so. "The company did have to downsize its manufacturing capacity," said Mr Shaughnessy, "And now I have two major challenges: the first is to get business volumes back - 2008 levels are unrealistic at this point but we can grow; the second is to fill the gaps in the product line."
Mr Shaughnessy revealed that Skyjack will be launching 12ft and 16ft vertical mast aerial platforms in the first half of the year and hopes to show the new machines at the ARA Rental Show in Florida at the beginning of February. The company also plans to add machines at the upper and lower end of its boom range.
This year Skyjack will also be spreading its global presence: there are plans to put additional resources into the promising Australasian market through a sales office and sales, service and support operations will be opened in China by the end of the first quarter. Latin America will have the same by the end of the second quarter.
Mr Shaughnessy said that consideration was being given to selling the company's range of telehandlers in Europe - currently the ZoomBoom range and ex-Volvo range (now branded Skyjack) are sold exclusively in North America.
Mr Shaughnessy said that Skyjack's position within the Linamar Group was very secure, "A good and logical fit." He anticipates an overall 20% growth in production and sales volumes in 2010 with the pace picking up further in 2011. He believes that Linamar's experience in lean manufacturing will prove to be significantly advantageous to Skyjack when the upturn comes.

Tango dancer shifts from beginner to class leader
Izzy Myszak
Tango facilitators Amaury de Siqueira and Elise Boruvka demonstrate form March 8 in the Georgian Room of the Indiana Memorial Union. Boruvka was a member in the Argentine tango class in 2008 as an undergrad at IU and is now a co-facilitator.

Argentine tango class facilitator Elise Boruvka, 32, said her favorite part of class is when a dancer has an "aha" moment. About a decade ago, she was a participant.
The class is Sundays from 4-6 p.m. in the Georgian Room of the Indiana Memorial Union. Normally, around 12 dancers attend because the class is capped at 12 people for efficiency. The class is organized into six-week sessions, but participants can start anytime as long as there is room. The cost is $30 for students and $45 for non-students.
"It kind of came as a natural progression in that as I learned the dance, then the ideas and opportunities to kind of share what I learned with others were available," Boruvka said.
Boruvka's dance pursuits began when she was an IU undergraduate student majoring in international studies. She became a member of IU's Ballroom Dance Club, and in summer 2008 attended a swing dance class for six weeks.
Boruvka said she had wanted to be involved in dance since she was in high school.
"When I came to IU, that was the first opportunity to really explore dancing," she said.
During the swing dance class, another dancer told Boruvka about a tango class offered by the Bloomington Argentine Tango Organization. She said that at the time, it was just another dance she was interested in learning.
"Once I started the classes, I really liked how the classes were building on the fundamentals of the dance," Boruvka said. "Also the community was really friendly and open, so that just really drew me in."
Boruvka continued to attend the six-week sessions. She said she became a facilitator for the class around 2010 or 2011.
She is also a doctoral student majoring in public management.
Boruvka facilitates the tango class with Amaury de Siqueira, one of the founders of the Bloomington Argentine Tango Organization. De Siqueira said he and Boruvka do not think of themselves as teachers, but more as facilitators guiding the class on its tango journey.
"You have to be very flexible in empathizing and understanding," de Siqueira said. "And Elise has this natural ability to put herself in the position of others and see how she can more effectively help them."
De Siqueira said the dancers in class often feel that Elise is empathetic.
"She does not make people feel like they're not adequate," de Siqueira said.
Sunday's class was the first of one of the six-week sessions, but all the participants had attended previous sessions. Colleen Seghi, who attended Sunday evening, has attended the classes for seven years.
"I feel like it's super relaxing," Seghi said. "It just is really kind of addictive."
Seghi said Boruvka answers any questions the participants have. She also demonstrates moves in front of class. Sunday evening, she partnered up with a class member who was left without a partner.
"She's very patient, super kind," Seghi said. "She's an amazing instructor."
Boruvka showed participants how to walk in tango, which is like gliding or sauntering across the floor. She showed them how to keep their posture, how to use their hips when walking and how to dance with a partner.
Boruvka said tango is not a romantic dance like the media sometimes portrays. Rather, it is a social dance that comes with a social code.'
When a gentleman wants to ask a woman to dance, he performs a cabeceo by making eye contact with her and nodding his head. If she accepts she will nod back, but if she refuses she will turn her head away, Boruvka said.
The dancers in the class use this code when Boruvka and de Siqueira throw a milonga, a structured social gathering for occasional dancing.
"I felt a lot of comfort in knowing the code before I went to a milonga," Boruvka said.
Boruvka said during a milonga, everyone starts sitting down and talking while there is tango music playing. They get up to dance whenever they feel like it, she said.
"There's no embarrassment about it," Boruvka said. "What's great about it is you have strangers coming together to dance, and they have a wonderful time dancing together."
