One Hour History Books, Book 1
By: History by the Hour
Narrated by: Rory Young
In this one-hour history book, discover the main events that led to World War I and how this first global conflict unfold from the Western front, to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia as it became one of the bloodiest war of all time.
It was dubbed "the war to end all wars," but as anyone alive today can clearly attest, this was most certainly not the case. World War I was indeed an ending point in world history, but rather than ending wars, it could be said to be the war that ended the "fraternity of wars." Before World War I, many in positions of power viewed violent warfare to be an almost chivalry test of world powers, but the blood-soaked trenches of World War I revealed to the world what war on a massive scale truly was - absolute horror. World War I was the first time that warfare had been mechanized and fine-tuned to this degree.
This war was the fruit of an industrial capacity for death that had been unleashed upon the Earth. It was hard to consider it chivalry or valor when men were being gassed to death as though they were nothing more than common vermin. The only thing that really ended as a consequence of World War I was the idea that war could be used as an effective means to solve international disagreements - though sadly, many still try. From the trenches of Verdun to the shores of Gallipoli, all the heroes both sung and unsung, here in this book we will explore the full tragedy and the horror that transpired during World War One.
In this short-listen one hour book, you will know everything you need to know about World War I and how this bloody war changed World history.

Man pleads guilty to brutal attack on Breezy the dog
An Ottawa man has pleaded guilty in connection with a violent shovel attack on a young dog in October.
WARNING: Details in this story may be disturbing to some readers

Man pleads guilty in dog maiming
7 years agoVideo
Plea comes after incident in which Breezy the dog was hit with shovel and left in dumpster.. 3:04
Steven Helfer, 24, pleaded guilty to maiming an animal Friday after 18-month-old Labrador-shepherd cross Breezy was beaten to near-death in east Ottawa Oct. 16.
Dog beaten nearly to death in front of Ottawa home
Breezy the dog has successful surgery
Witnesses said Helfer kicked and beat Breezy with a rake and shovel in front of a home in the Manor Park neighbourhood, then threw her body in a dumpster.
Breezy was left with serious head and chest injuries, but has recovered and is in the care of an Ottawa Humane Society foster volunteer.
Helfer also pleaded guilty to criminal harassment of his mother and two counts of assault with a weapon after he waved a rake at his neighbours.
He denied allegations made by his family that he killed a pregnant chinchilla and his pet rats.
The judge has ordered him to undergo a psychiatric assessment and return to court on Feb. 14, when the Crown will attempt to prove those allegations he denies.
Five-year maximum sentence

The Ottawa Humane Society said Helfer is scheduled for sentencing based on the maiming an animal guilty plea in early 2014.
Their executive director Bruce Roney said the maximum sentence Helfer could get is five years in prison and a lifetime ban from owning animals, although that being given is "unheard of" in animal cruelty cases.
"The eyes of the world are watching to see how our courts sentence Breezy's attacker," Roney said in a news release, mentioning a petition with more than 100,000 signatures asking Helfer get the maximum sentence.
"We all want justice for Breezy and for crimes against animals to be recognized as worthy of serious consequences."
The humane society said in their news release that Breezy may still lose her eye and has her appointment with a specialist early in the new year.

Benefis Health System donor to be honored on Donate Life Float at Rose Parade
Each year, LifeCenter Northwest selects a donor from our service area to be honored on the Donate Life Float at the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. We are joined by organizations from across the nation in sponsoring donor families, living donors, and transplant recipients to attend the parade, connect with others touched by donation, and participate in activities coordinated by Los Angeles based organ procurement organization, OneLegacy. Deceased donors are recognized through the creation of "floragraphs," which are floral portraits made of organic materials that are incorporated into the float design.
Julie Shepherd, organ and tissue donor, will be honored on the Donate Life Rose Parade Float
This year, LifeCenter has selected organ and tissue donor, Julie Shepherd, to be honored on the Donate Life Rose Parade ® Float. Julie was a fiercely competitive and exceptional athlete, but she also had a big heart that extended empathy and kindness to friends and strangers alike. In her short 17 years, she touched many lives with her generosity. Many of her teachers have remembered how her energy, humor, and outgoing personality lit up the rooms and hallways of the school like nothing they had seen before.
"We are still finding out about all the lives she touched through her kindness," says her father, Derrek. "We've heard stories from a wide span of people including the family of a non-verbal autistic child who would go to Julie's work just to see her smile. Julie had also recently cut her hair to make a donation to an organization that provides recipients with wigs for free. She was an amazing person."
While she brought enormous joy and light into the lives of others, she battled a constant darkness within herself. The people who knew Julie were shocked to hear that she struggled with severe depression. Although she talked to a therapist and a psychiatrist, and took her medication every day, her mind controlled her reality until she was unable to endure the suffering any longer. Since her death, her family has talked openly about her depression hoping to help others struggling with the disease.
Just as she did in life, Julie helped numerous people in her passing by becoming an organ, eye, and tissue donor.
"The donation process has helped to ease the pain of her death by giving us the knowledge that other people's lives were helped," Derrek says.
Julie saved the lives of six people through the donation of her pancreas, liver, lungs, both kidneys and her heart, which was described by the transplant surgeon as the "mythical perfect heart." Anyone who knew her would agree with that sentiment.
Rendering for the 2020 Donate Life Float
The theme for this year's Donate Life Float is Light in the Darkness. Organ, eye, and tissue donation is often the first spark of light families see when in their darkest of moments, the opportunity to honor their loved ones' legacy provides hope and light to both grieving donor families and grateful recipients. There will be 26 organ, eye and tissue recipients or living donors seated among the peacocks and/or walking alongside the float.
Floral displays overflow from intricate vessels, adorned with 44 floragraphs, including Julie's, honoring the gift of life and light given by organ, eye, and tissue donors. As the world's most visible campaign to inspire organ, eye, and tissue donation, the Donate Life Rose Parade® float inspires viewers to save and heal more than one million people in need of an organ, eye, and tissue transplant each year.

I know this family well enough to know that the daughter is not habitually rude, and I know four year olds well enough to know that they don't quite yet have the social mores of adults. My friend had the grace to say "this conversation is over" and walk away. I'm not sure how I would have handled the same situation, but I know I'd still be fuming over it.
I had the exact opposite random stranger experience this week at the grocery store.
Finished shopping, my daughter and I were loading the groceries into the car when a man driving past us stopped his car, rolled down his window, and told my daughter what a pleasant and well behaved girl she was in the store.
This, of course, made our day.
I don't really have a point to make other than if you have something nice to say about a stranger's child, go ahead and say it. It makes the parent feel better, and reinforces that good behavior in the child. If you have something rude to say about or in front of a stranger's kid, don't. It really serves no constructive purpose. It, in fact, makes you look like a jerk.


Because of today's hectic schedules, many parents are looking for activities that allow the entire family to spend time together. A unique opportunity at Master H Kim's World Class Tae Kwon Do will be the chance to attend class as a family.
By having a common interest that everyone can share and look forward to, positive, health oriented family will be formed.


Koronadal City | The Adventures of AdventuRoj!
Yes. I know I've been there before during my high school years because of a scouting encampment.
But after almost 10 years, I found myself again about to set on a journey to a mountain that they say had one of the most challenging trails in the Philippines (even MORE DIFFICULT than Mt Pulag and even Mt Apo) – none other than the MT. MATUTUM.
Rising to 2293 meters (7522 feet) above sea level, Mount Matutum prominently resides at the southern end of The Philippines southernmost province of Mindanao. Although only 70 km SSW of the country's highest peak Mount Apo, this isolated dormant volcano dominates the landscape from all 360 degrees.
Thanks to the Amyek Maleh 2013 celebration I was given another opportunity to have my body endure another adventure to conquer this known landmark in South Cotabato.
The name Mount Matutum is derived from the local Blaa'n tongue "Amyak Maleh" meaning climb and plant. Indeed, all trekkers are required to plant a tree while visiting the Mountain.
The Mountain and its surrounding landscape are protected through a Presidential Proclamation issued March 25, 1995 by President Fidel Ramos.
Amyak Maleh is being conducted each year as one of the events that formed part of the weeklong celebration of the declaration of Mt. Matutum as "protected landscape", or the Linggo ng Mt. Matutum.
Hundreds of mountaineers coming from all over Mindanao flock to the municipality of Tupi, South Cotabato to join this year's Amyak Maleh.
March 22, 2013 – the day started early with the registration of the participants.
After which, a brief orientation had been given and all mountaineers are transported to the jump off point in Glandan, Brgy, Kablon, Tupi, South Cotabato.
Here's the detailed itinerary for the climb.
The climb started with a tree planting activity on the foot of Mt Matutum in Glandang.
After the tree planting, it is now time to start the battle.
The climb almost lasted for 6 hours, 3 hours towards Phase 1 and another 3 hours to the Summit.
6 long hours of dodging from twigs, ducking low, crawling in between trees, holding branches tight, and sometimes slipping on slippery rocks. We even met a cobra along the way! Yikes!
The trail, especially after Phase 1 was REALLY STEEP.
"Why ? Why, why, why do I do this ???
But as they say 'That which does not kill you will make you stronger.' Hopefully this will. Haha!
— A. Alvarez, The Games Climbers Play.
But as they say, once you get to the peak, it's all worth it!
What's even more amazing is that during our trek to Mt Matutum, a couple age 57 and 59 years old came with the group and successfully conquered the mountain up to the summit!
Inspiring indeed. It reminds us all that it's never too old or too late to have an adventure and live.
Does they look something similar? Clue: Zombies love them!!
Pitching tents and the freezing atmosphere!
But of course, you cant' just stay on the summit.
What's even more arduous is the descent, especially that it rained the night before. Scary slippery!
Wow! Hinugyaw! A Once in a Lifetime Nighttime Street Dancing Experience!
January is indeed a month of festivals ; from the popular Sinulog in Cebu to the Ati-atihan in Kalibo and Dinagyang in Iloilo. But wait, I'm sure Mindanao wouldn't let this month passed by without having something, particularly my province here in South Cotabato!
And so I present to you THE HINUGYAW FESTIVAL 2013!
Start this year with a bang as Koronadal City celebrates the 13th Hinugyaw Festival.
The said festival started last January 4 and culminates on the evening of January 10, 2013, highlighting the Piyesta Korona (Korona Festival), a unique blend of mardi gras, creative korona attire and float competitions and of course the most awaited nighttime Street Dancing Competition!
Yes! You heard that right, NIGHT Street Dancing that is! Contrary to the common street dancing held during the daytime, Hinugyaw trots the road less traveled ; and that's what makes this festival even more interesting!
Streets once again will be flooded with curious spectators dying to witness participants in their colorful ethnic attires as they dance to the beat of lively cultural music.
So without further adieu, here are some shots I've took during the colorful festivity ; a mixture of the Street Dancing Competition, a parade of beauties in their creative crowns and attires, and the the Float Parade.
Hinugyaw festival is a week long celebration of the Foundation Anniversary of Koronadal City, the center of the Province of South Cotabato happening usually on the first week of January every year. It is a colorful merry-making depicting the evolution of the distinct cultures of B'laans, Maguindanao, and Christians into a singular wave of rhythm as a tribute to the creator, and in celebration of the spirit that Koronadal is known for dynamic and persistent in its bound for sustainable development.
So next time you're heading South Mindanao, don't forget to drop by and join in the merriment! Until next year Hinugyaw!
It was a cold and cozy Tuesday afternoon when me and my buddy decided to warm ourselves up by treating our appetite to a new found pasta house in our very own province in South Cotabato, specifically in Koronadal City.
Although we often eat out in Davao, but having a taste of specialty cuisines in our locality is still an experience worth trying ; something worth bragging for.
And so around 3pm we entered this home-turned-resto pasta house – The Basilio's.
Upon entering this restaurant, one will definitely feel the warmth and coziness of a home. A perfect place for family bonding or simply catching up with old friends.
Heading upstairs you will be impressed by a Japanese style dining facility where tables are surrounded by cushions laid out for a relaxing dining experience. Floors are squeaky clean and laid out with banig. I even thought that this would be a perfect place to have a relaxing massage or yoga.
And since it's Japanese inspired, guest are required to leave their footwear behind. Need not worry for Basilio's will be providing you slippers.
Then it's time to order.
For our 1st luncheon experience there, we tried their Carbonara Pasta, a fettuccine pasta which has the right amount of creaminess and non of that evap milk taste common in other restaurants. It has the right amount of saltiness from the bacon and butter.
The Gambas Pasta, the signature dish of Basilio's – a tomato based fettuccine pasta with shrimps topped with chili flakes. I was surprised at the pinch of spiciness that linger in your mouth after taking a spoonful of it, probably brought about by the chili flakes.
Then the third one the Lasagna, also a house specialty, mixed just with the right amount of creaminess enough to leave you wanting for more.
What is impressive with Basilio's is that their prices are really reasonable! Imagine a plate of their succulent pasta will only cost you around P95 per single serving.. now that is delicious isn't it?!
And for those who are not pasta-lovers, they also have main dishes served with rice and vegetables on the side.
Basilio's – Based Basil Pasta and Resto is located at 72 MH Del Pilar St., Korondal city. From Gensan drive, turn left at the round bowl, and once you reach Notre Dame of Marbel university, turn right and left again at MH Del Pilar St. For bookings or reservations, you can call them at +63 83 228 2878. Business hours is from 10AM til 10PM daily.


I included some other types of glasses as well to give you more choice. There is also an "Other" option, in case you don't find your favourite in the list. If so, it would be nice to add a comment with your favourtite glass.
The poll will close on 31st July midnight CEST.
My vote was for "Other". The glass in question is the Eisch Jeunesse Malt whisky glass which can be seen here: http://www.premium-whiskey.de/images/Eisch%20Jeunesse%20Single%20Malt%20Whisky.jpg. A fantastic, detailed glass but quite fine and delicate.
How did I know this poll would be next, is it the tin end of the wedge maybe?
Yes, I ran my own study some time ago and the classic malt won, just, from the Glencairn and then the Spiegelau.
If you like light and floral whiskies and nose & drink them within 5-6 minutes then nothing beats the Spiegelau. But this glass doesn't hold the whisky features for long.
The Classic Malt is near perfect and only just slightly better than the Glencairn overall.
Having said this, the Glencairn is a fine glass and probably the best known by most people.
I voted Glencairn, because that's what I use most of the time. It's just a great all around glass. I also use a Glencairn Copita quite a bit. I think it's every bit as good as the Classic Malt Glass.
The Glencairn class. Once you've tried one, there really is nothing as good.
Hi would vote other. I normally use a standrad tulip shaped glass.
In israel we need to Cool the whisky, not warm it 😉 it's too damn warm.
but Tulip glass are cooler as the long stem provides a better way to hold it.
I voted for the Spiegelau, even though the GC gives better nosing, IMHO. I like the ability to hold the glass in my hand in different positions and view the whisky. Warming the whisky is easy, and the general feel in the hand is perfect. Can't wait to view the results.
I would have to say other because: 1, my prefered glass is not on the list; 2, I use six different glasses, dependant on the whisky served; the glass I have designed is not made yet. (only the Glencairn comes close to meeting the needs).

Antec P280 Review: When Enthusiasts Are Engineers
by Dustin Sklavos on November 15, 2011 10:20 AM EST
Introducing the Antec P280 In and Around the Antec P280 Assembling the Antec P280 Testing Methodology Noise and Thermal Testing, Stock Noise and Thermal Testing, Overclocked Conclusion: A Matter of Time and Preference
Antec's existing Performance One series, peaking with the P183 and P190, has become a standard for silent, high performance computing. These enclosures have been extremely popular from the word "go," and for a long time the P180 and its descendants have been easy recommendations. But you could argue the designs are starting to feel a little outdated, and while Antec's recent Solo II was an interesting step forward, it felt like a tentative one.
The new P280, on the other hand, is a major evolution. Intended not as a refresh of the P183 but to exist alongside it, the P280 features some radical changes for Antec in terms of design while lowering the cost of entry for the entire line. Is it a smart evolution, or did Antec's engineers split too many decisions in trying to appeal to both silent computing and high performance markets?
Speaking candidly, I think any enthusiast worth his or her salt was more than a little interested when Antec first announced the P280. The Performance One line has practically been an institution for a long time, but Antec's engineers have gone back to the drawing board with the P280 in a very big way, implementing a host of new ideas while adopting some of the modern design cues brought forth by vendors like Corsair and SilverStone. I had a chance to meet with Antec's representatives, including one of the designers of the P280, and it's pretty clear where they were coming from when they made this case: as enthusiasts first who had the opportunity to design the case they wanted to see and use.
Antec P280 Specifications
Motherboard Form Factor XL-ATX, ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX
Drive Bays External 3x 5.25"
Internal 6x 3.5"/2.5", 2x 2.5"
Cooling Front 4x 120mm fan mount (two in the front, two internal behind the drive cage)
Rear 1x 120mm Antec TwoCool exhaust fan
Top 2x 120mm Antec TwoCool exhaust fans
Side -
Front I/O Port Mic and headphone jacks, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
Top I/O Port Power and reset buttons
Power Supply Size ATX
Clearance 13" (Expansion Cards), 180mm (CPU HSF), 300mm (PSU)
Weight 22.3 lbs. (10.2 kg)
Dimensions 20.7" x 9.1" x 22.1" (526mm x 231mm x 562mm)
Price MSRP $139
I'll concede that I haven't been wholly impressed by Antec's enclosures as of late, but the P280 is a completely different beast. It has the DNA of the Performance One series, but internally you'll find a design that diverges radically from its predecessors, and your first clue should be the nine expansion slots. Antec calls the P280 a "super mid-tower," but at this point the lines between a mid-tower and full tower have been so heavily blurred that each enclosure should be taken on a case by case basis (pun wholly intended.) The fact is, the P280 is big, but it has a lot going for it.

Its highly suspect that you would not include these legendary cases when reviewing a "quiet" case. even if the price point is off by more than $100, people seeking a quite case need to know if the extra $100 is worth it.
Dustin Sklavos - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link
The FT02 is fair, but unfortunately we never got a P183 in to test and compare. :(
mtoma - Monday, November 21, 2011 - link
I should also mention the Fractal Design Define XL. It should be a good match for Antec P280. If only Dustin could do a review of that case, many enthusiast would be at rest. After all, the holidays are coming...
danjw - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link
This doesn't seem to be in the channel yet, any idea when I could buy one? Also, can you measure the space between the top and the motherboard. I would like to know how thick of a radiator + fans can be mounted there.
geogecko - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link
Antec's site says the max CPU cooler height is 170mm.
Radiator, not heatsink, as in liquid cooling. He indicated there was plenty of room above the motherboard for a "thick" radiator, but doesn't say how thick.
MrSpadge - Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - link
That's less than in my P182. And that couldn't take a Thermalright Archon. Mhh.. I guess I'd rather have the space on top of the motherboard than behind it.
Hmm, the Archon is 170mm, which is what Antec says this one supports. Why do you think the 182 would support a taller heatsink then this one?
lithium451 - Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - link
I have the P182 also and at some point I found a FAQ on Antec site that the maximum height was about 160 (maybe 162) - which pretty much matches what I see with my 158mm cooler.
Sounds like its about 8-10mm more room.
On another website, I found that their is 38mm between the motherboard top edge and the pre-installed top fans. So a 35mm thick radiator should work fine on this case, if anyone else was wondering.

This hat (and the slippers to match) were inspired by so many things; the fabulously fat and squishy super-bullky-weight yarn; the cooling of the days and nights, and my resulting desire for toasty warm snuggly knitted things; and finally, my very recent reading of Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic. "One of the oldest and most generous tricks that the universe plays on human beings is to bury strange jewels within us all, and then stand back to see if we can ever find them." Now, this hat might not bring out those strange jewels hidden within yourself, but the comfort you receive from the making, gifting, and wearing of them might just inspire some of that within yourself.
Finished Measurements: Small (Medium/Large): to fit head circumference 16-18 (20-22)" actual hat measurements 16 (21)" circumference; 7.5 (8)" from brim to top.

Your next food pilgrimage cities….
This gorgeous Swedish city is easy to reach from most major European cities. Best to travel during summer owing to its all green look or even in the winter for it is replete with gastronomic delights including 5 Michelin star restaurants. Da Matteo is the best place to pop in for a eFikaf (coffee break), the cinnamon buns are divine!
eFeskekorkaf, a fish market housed in building that looks like an old church is a must visit to see how Seafood is a lifestyle here. The shrimp sandwiches at Heaven 23 are an absolute must try as are the Swedish Meat Balls at the Clarion Post.
It is rather enthralling that this lovely island country has so much going on in terms of chic world flavours and yet, even with a vast expat population, flourishes to keep its traditional food culture alive especially at Breakfast. Go for the Set menus at Saffron by Jenna or just order A La Carte at Haji's or Alrayyan café. Recommendations go all out for the Balaleet which is sweetened vermicelli noodles topped with a savoury omelette. The eggs and tomato, mashed kidney beans, potatoes, spiced baked beans and a basket of bread with khuboos and buns slathered with a sweet and spicy preserve should definitely be ordered. For an introduction to Traditional Bahraini cuisine there is no better place than Albaraaj.
The food is surely something to write home about with exciting coffee places like Millers, gourmet stores like Sabato with a special emphasis on their cheese and waterside restaurants like Oyster & Chop offering the best oysters as the name suggests in town. Giapo has dazed off the limits of traditional gelato-making. He's undeniably flourished there -ice cream in Auckland has never been the same since Giapo opened its doors. Another place where food is given pride of place is Culprit on Wyndham street.?The strength of the chef duo is their pivotal pairing of surprising ingredients, which works best with modest dishes. For example the juicy and meaty turbot fish inspiration served with a chicken jus is spectacular ringing up the roast comfort flavours.
Start with a visit to the Spice market and lunch at the famed Le Terrasse a nice rooftop escape from the eventful souk alleys. Go for old-style Moroccan food; the chicken skewers, a tagine and some mint tea. Within seconds of entering Jemma el Fna, expect your senses to be overwhelmed. It is an exhilarating and charming place to see at night more so as the square is packed with entertainers and folks vending goods and food ranging the gamut from steamed snails, to various kinds of grilled meat and lots of fresh orange juice. Highly recommend to try the traditional menu offerings from filling-dips, filo pastry stuffed pies; stir fried prawns, Harissa and pickled olives trailed by the main course at La Mamounia's Le Moracain.
Whatever you try do not miss the esmorrebrodf at Told & Snaps (open faced sandwiches served on buttered rye bread) topped with some of the best fresh produce that Denmark has to offer in terms of ingredients. Norrebro is a big tourist and locals alike attraction; a pretty street, perfect for food lovers with a charming centre complete with quaint little shops running the gamut from coffee, candy to even special ceramic ware. Relae and Manfreds here are definitely worth a try. Torvehallerne a buoyant market offers native Danish treats as well as unique items like rhubarb juice, Stone Age food etc. Concepts like community dining in a glass house on a rooftop terrace, dining with the locals and restaurants like 108, Geranium are simply stellar. And then there is Rene Redzepifs Noma 2.0 who is the undeniable king of eNew Nordicf cuisine and has put Denmark on the culinary map!


Mooresville is located at the top of Lake Norman and, similar to Huntersville, expands to the west and east of the lake. Also called Race City USA, Mooresville is home to many NASCAR drivers, crews and shops.
The most famous Mooresville community – the Point, remains by most measures the finest waterfront-golf community in the Carolinas, with homes starting at around $900,000, quality waterfront homes from around $1.5M.

Authoritative answer, dating someone who has been cheated on that would
To love someone who has been cheated on means to love someone who is afraid. Loving someone who has been cheated on is loving someone whose faith in love has been dented. This person is carrying a heart around in their chest they once unquestionably placed in the hands of someone who chose to let it go. The most crucial thing to remember choosing to stand by their side and hold their hand is that communication is foundation. This is both on your part and theirs.
He was left for another man and is probably questioning whether anything is wrong with him and why he may not have been able to give his previous partner everything she needs.
Anne Cohen Writes | Lifestyle & Relationships
Although his personal ego is his own issue, there are some things that you can help in improving his self-worth. Make him realize that the fault doesn't lie with him.
Find out what he's great at or really passionate about and ask him to do it with you. Actions do speak louder than words.
Simply don't give him any reason to doubt you. Introduce him to your circle of friends so he doesn't go questioning the people around you and what your relation with them is.
If he feels included, he wouldn't start thinking that you are trying to hide anything or anyone from him. He might start asking you why you don't reply to his text message immediately, or why you didn't tell him what you were up to last time, or who was that guy that said hi to you.
Although it may take a toll on your nerves, just remember that you can be that way too with a man you're dating, whether you've been cheated on or not.
Your patience will go a long way in dispelling any paranoia he may have over whether he can trust you or not. If you think that it's too much work to be around a man with trust issues, and you become easily frustrated and don't have the patience, then probably he's not really worth it for you. A man with trust issues may not hunt you down like an alpha male, or even if he does, his insecurities may surface. It's up to you as to whether you think he is worth the effort.
Some say "yes", others say "no". At the end of the day, all I can say is follow your heart.
When you do, you'll probably take things slow. You've been burned before, and nobody is keen to full-speed into a situation that makes them vulnerable again.
Dating Someone Who Has Been Cheated On They're going to need you. So, let them. So, it's even harder to date again after it's happened to you. If you decide to date someone who has been cheated on, there are a few things that you need to remember. something to throw away or toss aside. What self-esteem they had has been virtually ripped Author: Nicole Tuttle. Apr 07, � Loving someone who has been cheated on is loving someone whose faith in love has been dented. This person is carrying a heart around in their chest they once unquestionably placed in the hands of someone who chose to let it go. Someone who did so, letting it drop and shatter on the floor to use those same hands to roam through someone else's. If they have been cheated on in the past, its highly likely that they have been told that they are the one, there is no one else and they love that person before etc. But then cheated on this person regardless. Saying that again although true to you, will probably not be believed by the other person because it has happened vizyonbarkod.comtion: Licensed Professional Counselor.
Being monogamous means trusting someone to remain faithful, and it's going to take some time to build that up again. You have to be up-front about how your last relationship ended. Unless you're a-hundo, never-look-back, can't-even-remember-his-name over itit's possible that you're still carrying some residual feels.
Obviously, you don't need to start a first date with "I was cheated on and I'm watching you" although I'd give you a standing ovation if you di if things start to get more serious, giving a heads up might help them be more understanding of the following points.
Problems from your last relationship will be fresh in your mind.
Let me be clear about one thing: Your previous partner cheating on you was not because of anything you did or didn't do. But it's natural to have those thoughts. Was I too clingy? Too critical?
How Can You Love Someone That's Been Hurt By Their Past Relationships?
Too much? As hard as it may be, it's important to start with a clean slate and focus on what's right for the current relationship, not relationships of the past.
Dating someone who has been cheated on
That being said, you'll probably be a little paranoid. This is natural. You trusted someone, they broke it. You trust someone again, what if they break it?

Aug 26, � 1. Don't expect to bounce back. When cheating happens in TV and movies, we're entertained and absolutely riveted. But my god, if it actually Author: Kathryn Lindsay. If you are currently dating a guy who has a history with an unfaithful partner, you are therefore dealing with someone who may have some serious trust issues. Men who have been cheated on need. When your trust has been broken you're not super willing to just give it away again. Trust takes time, but it will come. 3. Calling her 'paranoid' or 'crazy' is incredibly degrading. There are fears that come after being cheated on that are really hard to forget and shake.
Franca Gimenez 1. Communication is everything.
Oct 05, � It's true that infidelity is common in almost every culture, whether a person has a history of cheating or not. But the short answer to the question at hand is a simple one: If you're considering dating a person who cheated on someone in the past, then you should be careful. Apr 04, � This one is a bit tricky as your partner probably has some trust issues at this point. Dating someone who has gone through that traumatic experience is a double edged sword, if you can gain their absolute trust he/she will be yours for life. On th.

Trust is a privilege, not a right. Be gentle.
You have to respect her boundaries and her fears. She probably blames herself for every little thing.
Being angry for her is super flattering, but also not very productive. For a while she will always kind of be waiting for the other shoe to drop.

If You've Been Hurt - WATCH THIS - by Jay Shetty


As a child every kid, especially a girl, is fascinated by fairy tales. They just love it when the princess gets the prince at the end of the tale and live happily ever after. This figment of imagination slowly translates into real life when a girl essentially finds her true love and both finally decided to be bonded in an eternal relationship through the holy sanctity of marriage. Weddings are the most happiest and memorable days of almost everyone's lives. And what makes this day memorable is the union of the bride and groom celebrated in a certain style of their own choice. Styles are innumerous across the globe. They vary with the local tradition and customs. Nevertheless, all styles that exist today are special and most cherished in their own way.
The most celebrated day in a couple's life is their wedding day and it is not only true for the D-day but also for years to come. They record these priceless moments in the form of still photography and video capturing to honor their extremely precious day. People these days want to have everything done perfectly. They want the perfect fairytale wedding and expect to have no screw ups or mess of any kind. To keep the wedding plans flawless many well-to-do couples hire a wedding planner. These wedding planners are professionals who take care of everything from A-Z in a wedding for a certain fee amount. There are some others though who love to arrange their own weddings in their own wedding style. This is not a bad idea either if you think you have the time to do it.
Thus whoever the planner of the wedding is, be it a professional or close friends and relatives, the first and foremost thing they have to think about is the wedding cost. Without knowing the various wedding costs they cannot really organize the wedding according to their estimated budget. There are so many elements that make a wedding possible. From the venue for the ceremony to the venue for the reception, from the caterers to the florists, from the wedding gowns and suits to the wedding bands, from the wedding music bands to the wedding center pieces it is a huge list to take care of. The preparation initiates from selecting wedding invitations and listing out the number of guests and knowing how many would show up in order to arrange the necessary quantity of food and drinks. A detailed estimate of wedding costs constituting all these factors must be planned beforehand. This reduces the unwanted last moment nervousness on the day when everyone is supposed to be happy and rejoicing. In the end, proper planning helps in smooth execution of your perfect wedding day.

what is the optimal way to find a parking spot?
Pick a row, closest space (PRCS): The simple strategy of choosing a row close to the parking lot entrance, and picking the closest available space.
Cycling (CYC): a more complicated and aggressive strategy that involves first entering the closest row and parking in the closest of the 20 closest spaces if one is available. If not, the driver proceeds to the next row and chooses the closest of the 40 closest spaces. If one is not available, the driver moves to surrounding rows and selected the closest available space.
To visualize how the analysis in this paper is performed, see the figure on the right that shows one of the parking lot geometries considered in the analysis. The analysis is applied to large, Wal-Mart-like parking lots with multiple entrances. I discuss other parking strategies at the end.
Not surprisingly, the PRCS strategy has a lower time to space, since drivers using PRCS find parking spaces fast. Likewise, the CYC has a lower total walking time, since extra driving time finds spaces that are closer to the front door.
Surprisingly, the PRCS strategy performs slightly better when considering the time to door. That is, the time saved finding a parking spot more than makes up for the extra walking time. In a conversation with John Kobza a couple of years ago, he recommended not to cycle and rather to drive to the front of a row. If a close spot is available, take it. Otherwise, park in the closest available spot in the next row.
Cassady and Kobza acknowledge that the performance measures considered can be misleading in situations when a parking spot is not guaranteed. They also acknowledge that other issues can be incorporated into the analysis (like taking into account the time pushing a shopping cart over to a cart corral).
Cassady and Kobza implicitly assume that time spent parking and walking are equally weighted in the Time to Door strategy. I use a variant of this strategy when I parallel park on the street when I come to campus that uses unequal weights. Near campus, decent spots are not guaranteed, so I sometimes have to walk ~10 minutes to my office door. I try not to cycle in the mornings, but I sometimes cycle to shave a little bit off of my walking time if it is raining or I am wearing heels (the brick sidewalks in Richmond are quite uneven).
How do you find a parking spot?

PRCS would also appear to minimize the probability of violence over a contested spot. At mass attendance events (e.g., football games), it also minimizes time spent trying to get out of the lot, which may swamp the other two measures.
In general, I prefer to find to a spot quickly, because I'd rather walk than drive around the lot (which is wasteful), and I walk fast and need the exercise! At the grocery store, I try to get close to the cart corral to minimize the wasted time putting the cart away. At work, when the weather is bad, I park as close as possible to a building entrance to minimize exposure to the elements, which leads to a longer total walk because that closest entrance is far from my office.
you know, here in the congested city of Cairo, I can tell you from experience that unless you're going to park near an event hall or a stadium and a match is about to start, you're going to wait only a few minutes before a spot near you is freed. That simple. Just the kind of bustling traffic that give you a favorable in/out rate. Add that expectation in the equation and you just might get closer to a statistically sound universal solution.

Gage, Matilda Joslyn
Matilda Joslyn Gage was an American writer and activist. She is mainly known for her contributions to women's suffrage in the United States (i.e. the right to vote) but she also campaigned for Native American rights, abolitionism (the end of slavery), and freethought (the free exercise of reason in matters of religious belief). She is the eponym for the Matilda effect, which describes the tendency to deny women credit for scientific invention. She influenced her son-in-law L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wizard of Oz. She was the youngest speaker at the 1852 National Women's Rights Convention held in Syracuse, New York. She was a tireless worker and public speaker, and contributed numerous articles to the press, being regarded as "one of ... (From: Wikipedia.org / WomenOfTheHall.org.)
Stanton, Elizabeth Cady
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (November 12, 1815 – October 26, 1902) was an American writer and activist who was a leader of the women's rights movement in the U.S. during the mid- to late-19th century. She was the main force behind the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, the first convention to be called for the sole purpose of discussing women's rights, and was the primary author of its Declaration of Sentiments. Her demand for women's right to vote generated a controversy at the convention but quickly became a central tenet of the women's movement. She was also active in other social reform activities, especially abolitionism. In 1851, she met Susan B. Anthony and formed a decades-long partnership that was crucial to the development of the wom... (From: Wikipedia.org / WomensHistory.org.)

Poetry, and Our Relish for the Beauties ...
A taste for rural scenes, in the present state of society, appears to be very often an artificial sentiment, rather inspired by poetry and romances, than a real perception of the beauties of nature. But, as it is reckoned a proof of refined taste to praise the calm pleasures which the country affords, the theme is never exhausted. Yet it may be made a question, whether this romantic kind of declamation, has much effect on the conduct of those, who leave, for a season, the crowded cities in which they were bred. I have been led to these reflections, by observing, when I have resided for any length of time in the country, how few people seem to contemplate nature with their own eyes.

It is not then useless or presumptuous to note, that, when I first entered Paris, the striking contrast of riches and poverty, elegance and slovenliness, urbanity and deceit, every where caught my eye, and saddened my soul; and these impressions are still the foundation of my remarks on the manners, which flatter the senses, more than they interest the heart, and yet excite more interest than esteem.

I was the practice nurse (practicante) for the 7th Gallery, a position that gave me the run of most of the prison and allowed me to liaise with comrades in different wings, especially with isolated transit prisoners or prisoners in solitary confinement.

With the death of Luis Andrés Edo, aged 83, in Barcelona, the anarchist movement has lost an outstanding militant and original thinker, and I have lost a comrade-in-arms, a former cell-mate — and an irreplaceable friend. The son of a Guardia Civil, Luis was born in the benemérita barracks in Caspe (Zaragoza) in 1925, but the family moved to Barcelona the following year when his father, Román, was transferred to a new cuartel in the Sants district of Barcelona, where the young boy grew up, educated by nuns, monks and priests. Later, after the social revolution of July 19 1936, the ten-year old Luis became not only a 'child of the barricades', but also a 'son of the CENU' (el Consell de l&rsq...

Just how important are the extremist groups in Britain today? Are they compatible with Parliamentary Democracy? These are some of the questions John Tomlinson, academic ex-labor M.P. and Junior Minister at the Foreign Office sets out to answer in this book — or does he? At the end of it, the reader is left wondering just who the extremists are; the medicine the author prescribes would serve only to further polarize society and kill the doctor as well as the patient. In spite of his self-styled impartiality and objectivity, Tomlinson's position is that of an "extremist of the center." By damning Left and Right equally he hopes to infer that he is the guardian of the mythical middle ground and epitomizes the spirit of... (From: TheAnarchistLibrary.org.)

My first meeting with the dynamic and generous-spirited writer José Martín-Artajo (Pepe) was… in London in the early part of 1968. It was a year after he broke completely with his bourgeois past and walked out of his career as a Francoist diplomat, following the US-led colonels' coup in Greece in April 1967. He had been first secretary at the Spanish Embassy in Athens. At the same time he separated from his German wife, Christa von Petersdorff, a psychoanalyst and translator of the works of Freud into French. Christa and Pepe met while she was researching her PhD on the comparative myth of 'Don Juan' in France, Italy and Spain. After the split she always said, with a smile, that she had 'known Do...

We've had a number of these FAM tours pass through where the visitors are looking for unique activities and things to do in Antigua. The classes are always good fun for us and our guests. We run the tours like every class we hold: We welcome everyone into our home, start with some drinks, and then get to work making lunch. Then we end the day eating on our verandah which overlooks the Caribbean Sea.
We hope that we have many FAM tours in the future. We love what we do and want to continue breaking bread with new and past guests.

Beyond the Racecourse – why horse racing may be coming to a city near you
by GC
It's always exciting when there's a new take on sport that grabs the public's attention. Of course nowadays even what classifies as a sport is broadening, with the likes of drone racing and eSports becoming the stuff of stadiums. Conversely, sport is also branching out from stadiums and into the centre of our cities. I recall being in awe of a City Games athletics event that I stumbled upon in Manchester city centre a few years back. Competitive high level racing happening right before my eyes, with cheering crowds and captivating coverage of the event for those at home.
It would appear that the emergence of city racing events has not only captured the attention of the public, but also sports execs eager to to bring Horse racing to the city and attract new audiences in the process. Horse racing makes for an intriguing sport to lend to a city games format, because it already has an extensive history on courses around the country and indeed the world. The regular racing viewer though, is likely to be distinct from the broad audience that would be watching on the day, so there's potential for fresh appeal. That's much needed for any sport at a time where there's countless TV channels, betting and sporting options available to us.
According to horse racing betting site www.HorseRacingBetting.co.uk , the brainchild behind this bold venture is Peter Phillips, the Queen's eldest grandson, and he recently took the time to lay out his plan for City Racing, covering areas such as setting up the track and numerous betting considerations. Safety too, of both the public and the horses, is a paramount consideration. This has been no overnight whim either, the plan took root back in 2014 as result of a successful Champions Tour show jumping event on Horse Guards Parade in London. Peter Phillips approach to investment in the project was novel, as he stood before a crowd to announce that City Racing was "a bloody good idea".
His plans are ambitious to say the least. After trialing the surface on a road at Aintree racecourse late last year, the plan is now to stage five furlong races on temporary synthetic surfaces layered with sand at prominent landmarks around the world. The cream of the racing crop would take part and crowds, separated by a railing and able to bet, would be allowed within metres of the action. The venture is partnership with jockey club and others.
Paul Fisher, chief executive of the Jockey Club – and owner of courses countywide, has designs on using this exciting format as way of breathing new life into racing and bringing in a "a younger, urban audience".
So where will we be able to see City Racing, you're likely asking yourself? Well, ticking every box isn't easy for such a new and ambitious venture, but Collins Street in Melbourne is said be already be under consideration, as well locations in Asia, the Middle East and the United States. Beyond that, the mouthwatering prospect of London city racing could become a reality within the next two years, according to The Standard. London Mayor, Sadiq Khan is said to be a keen supporter of the idea. It's hoped that many thousands of people would attend to watch horse racing in such a setting, with entertainment accompanying the spectacle. Eight runners would take part with world renowned jockeys riding horses at the venues in a points based system.
Peter Phillips threw a 10,000 person 90th birthday party for the Queen back in 2016, so is not easily intimidated by big ideas. The City Racing chief executive clearly has stellar contacts and a passion for horse racing, so exciting times lie ahead for the sport.
A Brief History of UK Horse Racing
When it comes to placing bets, horse racing is one of the most popular sports in the UK. It's also one of the most frequent, with over 20 races each day in the UK alone, according to redbet. But despite its immense popularity today, the sport hasn't always had the same mainstream recognition. Let's take a look back at where it all began.
The first horse races are thought to have begun in 200 AD in Yorkshire, with Romans racing Arabian horses at Wetherby. However, from ancient reports and findings, the English didn't start to saddle their horses until around 631 AD.
The first recorded race meetings took place during Henry II's reign, at the annual St Bartholomew's horse fair. There are numerous recordings suggesting that, for the next three centuries, the Kings of England kept 'running horses', continuing into the reign of Henry VIII.
Tudor times
During Henry VIII's reign, there are more substantial recordings of horse racing. He himself passed various laws relating to the breeding or horses for racing purposes, as well as importing a number of horses for his own breeding. The King also kept a training establishment at Greenwich and housed a horse at Eltham.
It is believed that the first trophy – a wooden bat covered in flowers – for winning a race was awarded in 1512. Just seven years later, the Kiplingcotes Derby, the oldest horse race still in existence, was first ran in 1519.
Just like all other entertainment sectors, horse racing has had its fair share of highs and lows, with interest dipping significantly during Queen Elizabeth I's reign. But that changed again in 1605, with James I's discovery of Newmarket, widely considered as the home of England's horse racing.
The first Gold Cup event took place at Newmarket in 1634, with the racecourse being firmly established in 1636. After the founding of Newmarket racecourse, racing started to take off around the country, with runners competing for silver bells. Racing rules were created, and the weights of jockeys started to be diligently measured and recorded for a fair race.
Horse racing suffered another drastic dip in 1654, however, when Oliver Cromwell banned racing and all horses were commandeered. But this ban only lasted a decade, with racing being restored in 1664 and three foundation breeds being brought into England to establish a key line of thoroughbreds.
Introduction of Ascot
In the early 18th century, horse racing gained a renewed level of prestige when Queen Anne, who owned a number of horses herself, founded the Royal Ascot racecourse. Even today, the opening race of each Royal Ascot is named the Queen Anne Stakes.
Today, the Royal Ascot is Britain's most popular race meeting. It also has the largest prize fund, giving out around £7.3 million in prize money each year.
Modern racing
In the 19th century, the first steeplechasing races were organised, shaping racing into the sport we know today. The world famous Grand National race was established at Aintree towards the end of the 19th century, starting the annual tradition that saw around 600 million people tuning in to watch the race last year.
Today, horse racing is as popular as ever, making around £4.3 billion between April 2017-March 2018 from off-course bets alone. There are a number of races taking place every day at the 60 courses across Britain. So, whether you're a lifelong racing supporter or just tune in for the big events, you're sure to find something for you.
Grand National Betting Odds
Rejoice horse racing fans! We are nearing one of the most exciting races of the year – the Grand National. The next handicap steeplechase at Aintree will start on April 4th with the opening day and end in stylish fashion two days later.
For those unaware, the Grand National is one of the most prestigious races on the annual horse racing calendar, drawing the attention of thousands of fans and punters. It's a prominent event in British culture and the richest jump race in Europe – in 2017, the prize purse was a million pounds. With over 30 fences to be jumped and more than 4 gruelling miles ahead of the competitors, it's everything horse racing fans want and more.
Of course, in the true vein of horse racing, there are plenty of betting options available. Every year, bookies have a wide range of Grand National betting offers months before the event so punters can plan ahead and pick their favourites. Every year, punters stake more than £150 million on the race, which is a true indicator of how popular it is.
2019 Grand National Odds Preview
With 40 runners starting the race each year, picking a favourite for the Grand National isn't easy. Surprises have been known to happen and punters know that the heavy favourite isn't always the right pick. The tough race track conditions at the Grand National make it one of the hardest horse races to predict. However, if you're a true horse racing fan, you'll know where to get your tips and hopefully predict the winner.
This year's handicap steeplechase received 112 entries (47 from Ireland). Only 40 runners will start, though, each one with a chance at earning the hefty prize. Of course, not all horses will get the same odds. Not that those ranked highest will definitely win. Throughout its illustrious history, the Grand National has seen many 100/1 winners, so experienced punters know that the biggest favourite will not always win. With that being said, we're going to give you several tips that can help you win your bets for the upcoming Grand National.
Go for Horses with Previous Experience
If they did it once, they might do it again. Horses with previous experience in the Grand National have been known to perform well. We're not saying that they will surely win the race, but you're better off with a horse that has already run at the Aintree racecourse before.
Stay Away from the Obvious
As we already said, those big names the media hypes up weeks before the race often become a major disappointment. If you want to increase your chances of winning, look away from the obvious. Plus, those high-profile horses from the top stables rarely have any good value in terms of odds, nor do they have a great track record at Aintree.
Compare Prices and Find Good Value
If you want to find the best deals and raise your chances of winning your bets, you need to compare prizes and be a bit more price sensitive. Do your homework and shop around – chances are that some other bookie offers better odds on your favourites than your favourite shop.
Don't Bite More Than You Can Chew
Raising your stakes and betting out of normal size is a recipe for disaster. As we already mentioned, the Grand National is pretty hard to predict, so stepping out of your comfort zone when it comes to betting can have catastrophic consequences. Just stick to your budget and hope for the best. Of course, after doing your homework.

Q: Need hint: find minimum perimeter of a rectangle. See problem below. Using calculus one finds that this happens when we have a square but this is from a geometry book so I dont think using calculus is the intended solution. Any hint for me? It might help that this problem is on the chapter titled: Areas of Similar Figures.

A: Let $a$ and $b$ be the side of rectangle.
We have $a\cdot b=\Delta=\text{Constant}$.
By AM-GM inequality, we have $$a+b\ge 2\sqrt{ab}=2\sqrt{\Delta}$$
$$\text{Perimeter} \ge 4\sqrt{\Delta}$$
Now the min. Value of perimeter is $4\sqrt{\text{Area}}$ which can we obtained when $a=b$
(AM=GM only if the numbers are equal)
